Mr. Outdoors will join me next hour, and naturally we'll have to have a little We'll chat about where things are going.

We're looking at 97 tomorrow, 102. And maybe what we need to do is have the weather forecaster beer game, beer drinking game in which every time a weather forecaster, including, hey, love you, Bobby J, but stay hydrated, right? You've got to say, stay hydrated, then go ahead and pop a beer and down it. I think that's what we should do. I love Bobby Jays, good guy over at the NBC 5. But they always say that.

And if it weren't for weather forecasters, and I think Mr. Outdoors would even agree, if it wasn't for Mr. Outdoors at rogueweather.com and all the other weather forecasters, we would never know to drink when it gets hot and we're outside. Although I have to tell you, I don't drink as much as I should. I need to drink more water.

Linda's always trying to get me just, come on, drink more water, drink more. Yes, I know, I know, I know, honey. Yeah, I know. I get it. And just don't. I just don't do it enough. So maybe, well, maybe we need the weather forecasters to do that.

Yeah, it could be. All right. What's going on today? Well, let me go over some local headlines here first. We have another animal abuse case here in Southern Oregon. Another huge one. We had the one over on Roxy Ann placed the other day. I think it was last week.

We were talking about that. A whole bunch of kitties and things out. the way. Well, today, or I should say yesterday, they ended up in Central Point arresting 43-year-old Jennifer Griswold. More than 60 cats hauled out of the place. Sixty cats, a bunch of them dead, apparently, and she's been charged with first-degree animal abuse. And yeah, and that is just a wild story. It's like we got a lot of this. What I found most interesting about this Central Point police reporting this on their Facebook page is that this all started when they were going and checking out like an elder abuse report or they were concerned about an

elderly person being abused and then they end up showing at this residence and I guess it's one of those things where the officers are walking around and then they see we have a crazy cat lady kind of situation going on and by the way this is all alleged crazy cat lady stuff I don't know these are just charges you know for all I know that maybe it's not even her cats you know and maybe she's not even the person in charge of this she did cooperate but yeah this is the second week that we've had something like that going on. And the Daily Courier has a really, really deep dive. Just a huge article on their front page about the Grants Pass Human Resources Director Mandy Hayes. And it's worth reading. And it's going into all the machinations here. I don't

even think I'd have time to talk about it, but a multi-page article. But she settled with the City of Grants Pass. $100,000 payday. And this is over discrimination in hostile work environment. And she's going to get $100,000. City's going to pony up. So the Grants Pass taxpayers have to pay $50,000. The insurance company then ponies up the rest of it.

All right. So there's a couple of interesting stories here, Southern Oregon. But big business news, though, and I think this is going to be interesting for Grange Co-op. Grange Co-op making an immediate announcement yesterday. and it was all over the business presses. I was checking this out. And there's a company in, well, it's in the central California coast called Farm Supply Company. And they had, you know, five or six places, you know, what was it, Pasarobas or, you know, various other places out on the California case, on the California coast.

It's a very similar kind of store to Grange Co-op here in Southern Oregon. Well, they got together with Grange Co-op people. They're saying, hey, let's merge. And it looks like this is what's going to happen. And if they approve this and they hope to get the deal done by October 1st, it looks like it could double the number of the stores. And you know how it goes these days is that when you're trying to get better prices for your customers, you have to get big.

You have to be able to say, hey, I don't want, you know, just 100 petunias. We want 10,000 petunias for the planting sale, you know, that kind of thing. And you're able to then negotiate a better price. I'm sure that's what this is all about. And if they get this all done, and it would have to be approved by the board of Grange Co-op. And by the way, they keep their names, from what I understand. They keep their names, but there'd be like a unified management. It's not like all of a sudden we'd be calling it a farm supply company, you know, Grange Co-op.

You know, it's not like that. All the stores would keep their own names. But if they get this through, be 13 stores, no overall. So about double the number of stores overall and $450. the employees. So we'll see what happens. The boards will have to agree on this, but that's big deal. And anything that helps our Southern Oregon institutions, and Grange Co-op certainly is a Southern Oregon institution. That's just absolutely fabulous. And we'll see how that works out. They can get better pricing and very competitive world. That way, they're able to, you know,

go after the big box national stores, chains a little bit better. So good going. Good going Grange Co-op. Okay. All right. SpaceX. 12 minutes from now, SpaceX. Yes, boom to infinity and beyond. And so I was reading Investors observers about SpaceX IPO, the initial public offering. And they're going to have a bunch of shares available for the regular schmows. And they raise the question. And they're not the only people, but I think it makes you wonder, is SpaceX going to be an institutional pump and dump in which they pump it and then dump it? And then show. share of the sheep. As of today, the IPO is oversubscribed by three and a half times to four and a half times. That means institutional investors have pledged to invest four times more than SpaceX is raising before it even lists. And SpaceX is issuing 55 million shares at 135 bucks apiece. That would translate to, let's see, $1.75 trillion. $1.75 trillion is what that would be worth. And just, although talking about numbers on talk radio is really hard, but I'll try to help you understand.

What they were mentioning is that $1.75 trillion just in the stock valuation that they want to issue today, folks, is 100 times the revenue of SpaceX. In other words, one-one-hundredth of that is what SpaceX actually takes in as money right now, but people are looking to give Elon Musk 1.75 trillion. And by the way, this is just revenue because there is no profit. It's not making money. Yeah.

Gosh, I've got to tell you, one person is going to do really well out of this. I have absolutely no doubt is Elon. Elon is an amazingly creative guy. And let me tell you, the Rockets really are interesting. I'm not trying to knock that. It's really interesting technology. But this could be a pretty speculative play,

but you never know. There's just such a cult of love for this guy. And, you know, if you love your Tesla, I guess maybe you love SpaceX too. Although it's interesting how the grift has gone from one thing to another. And I'm amazed with his brain and his way to able to creatively think through things. So don't get me wrong about that. But it was such a great idea to get in on the electric vehicle grift early in which you force every other of your competitors to pay you to be able to put out a gasoline car, which ends up paying

for your overpriced electric vehicles. Then the blooms off that rose, and so, okay, it's time for a new one. Time for a new tap debts, but we'll see. It's probably going to be huge. Well, it is going to be huge. It's already huge. But that's the part that always just sticks in my mind, though. The amount of money that is going to be paid to SpaceX today is 100 times their revenue, not their profit, because they don't have any profit. It's not a profitable business. Maybe it will be a profitable business, and I guess that's the hope that it will be profitable at some point. Speaking of big, massive corporate news, here's another.

Well, now, I'll tell you what, I'll do it after the break here. Have you heard about the interesting deal that Amazon got when it came to their election? vehicle fees. Well, I'll give you a hint. They're not paying them in Oregon. I'll tell you why next. Veterans and active duty service members, when you're called to service ends,

Hi, I'm Matt Stone, owner of Stone Heating and Air, and I'm on 106.3 KMED.

Great to have you here, as always, 23 minutes after 6. Join the conversation at 7705-633-770KMED. Well, the markets went nuts, especially the oil, oil plummeting and price yesterday and this morning, because the president has postponed the next round of bombings and says that the Iran deal has been approved, which is quite fascinating because at the same time, Iran is saying that, no, we didn't. I don't know. Well, it's like every day, I think there have been about 30 deals that have been ready at every time. And I hope he's right.

That would be great if we can avoid having to go in and bomb the snot out of them any longer. Because the other thing is that, let's be honest, I don't think there's been any record of any nation being taken over or bombed into submission that didn't require boots on the ground. You can't just do it with bombs from above. I don't think there's any evidence that that has ever happened where just the bombing ended up changing their minds. But this could be different, but we'll see. So President Trump, this is in the Wall Street Journal reporting on it, President Trump, Thursday insisting that the United States was near a deal on peace talks with Iran, pulling back from his threats just hours earlier to launch more military strikes. Now, Trump said Iranian Supreme Leader Kamani had signed off on the plan, which he said would be completed in coming days.

However, the foreign ministry spokesman from Iran says Iran has not reached a final conclusion about the agreement. we will announce it if or when we reach a conclusion. So once again, all I can do is just say that President Trump says one thing. Iran is saying something different. Then I had like Randy from Ashland writes me and saying, let me see if I can just find what he wrote me. But he said that you're actually trying to get the Iranians to deal and actually obey a written agreement. and I guess Randy does not trust the Iranians. I don't know why, Randy.

Maybe a lot of other people. Well, we'll just see where it goes. Meanwhile, the oil markets, of course, plummeting because, hey, the oil's coming back on, except the, well, the price being low in the futures market, though, does not actually get the oil into the refineries. We'll just see where that's going. I'm looking at physical supply. that could still be a little bit sketchy. But hey, maybe we got an end to all of this pretty soon. So that would be great.

All right. So the next round of bombings have been held off. All right. Another interesting story this morning. This in Oregon Capital Chronicle.com. Large corporate fleets, Amazon, exempt from the new road fees for Oregon EVs next year. How you like that. that.

Amazon's delivery fee, a fleet, rather, they're saying, is mostly made up of electric vans. They pay no gas tax, no weight mile tax, and they've been left out of legislation that will require everybody else driving an electric vehicle in Oregon to pay a road use tax or annual fee, starting in 2027 and in 28. And I guess the story is apparently when lawmakers held an emergency legislative session last fall to find money to pay for Oregon's road maintenance and also pay for the bridge studies that never seem to get built. They did so in part by passing new taxes and fees for electric vehicle owners.

And frankly, that's only fair because they're using the roads to. It shouldn't be up to the people using gas and diesel to pay for the roads so that electric vehicles can ride for freight. All right. Now, lawmakers say that they did not include the vehicles like the average. Amazon vans because they needed more time to work out the best way to make sure delivery vehicles, such as Amazon's, more than 11,000 electric vans, contribute to road costs. The vehicles are too light to qualify for a wait-mile fee, and because they don't run on gas, they're not subject to the 40-San gas tax. Yeah, we know this, but beginning next July, when the new EV fees kick in and the taxes kick in for them, an Oregonian driving a 3,000-pound Kia Nero electric passenger car,

would pay about the same amount annually to the state highway fund as Amazon does for each of its 10,000-pound Rivian delivery vans. So it looks like there was some kind of a sweetheart deal. But Amazon is saying, no, we didn't lobby the legislature, you know, nothing like that. We didn't do any of that. And so anyway, the whole deal is that if you're driving an electric vehicle, you're having to pay hundreds of dollars a year, starting next year for taxes and fees. And Amazon's people are paying very little. Very little. It could be one of those things where we're trying to assign malice to maybe the state legislature was just stupid. No, no, the democratically controlled legislature would never be stupid. Yeah, we, we,

oh, man, I got to tell you. I got to tell you. You got to love it. Got to love it. So that is the latest from Salem, the latest Salem Carnage. Amazon's not paying its fair share. That's what the liberals always say. We need to get the corporate billionaires to pay their fair share, except for the electric vehicles because they're good.

We'll talk about that with Steve Malloy. Much more after news and the rest of it. This is the Bill Meyer show. Legendary Arms Gun Shop supports Ladies Lock and Loaded.

Another week, another animal abuse case in southern Oregon. Central Point Police arrested 43-year-old Jennifer Griswold, she's been charged with first-degree animal abuse. More than 60 cats, some that were dead, were seized from the home on Valley Oak Boulevard and Central Point. This all stemmed from a report earlier this week of possible elder mistreatment. And during that visit to the home, Central Point PD saw enough. They got a warrant for yesterday's search and arrest. The Jackson County DA will review the case and may impose additional charges.

The man accused of killing a woman in West Medford back on June 2nd pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. 19-year-old Darius Santangelo appeared in circuit court Thursday. He's accused of murdering 43-year-old Nicole Marie Dominguez. Santangelo remains in Jackson County Jail. The Daily Courier reports that former Grants Pass Human Resources Director Mandy Hayes has settled her discrimination in hostile work environment claim against the city. She'll get 100,000 bucks. The city will pay $50,000 while the city's insurance company covers the other $50,000. Oh, and the city is now advertising for a new HR director, if you're interested. And finally, the Grange Co-op Empire is expanding the announcement coming yesterday that they have

an agreement to merge with the Farm Supply Company. That serves farm, home, and ranch needs over on California's Central Coast. Both companies are looking at this as a good deal which would increase their purchasing power. If the agreement goes through, the combined companies will have seven stores in California, six in Oregon, and 450 employees. The plan is to get the deal done by a lot of the company. October.

And I was just talking that there's no evidence of any war ever having been won just by aerial bombing alone. Anyway, what are you saying?

Go ahead and take me to task. Let's talk about it. Japan surrendered after we bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Okay, yeah, but that didn't end... That didn't end our involvement in it, though. That's what I'm getting at, though. And they decided to cooperate. There is no evidence that Iran will cooperate.

Remember, we're talking religious zealots, okay? And the point being is that President Trump doesn't want to put boots on the ground. and, you know, he's right about it. He doesn't want to do that, but there's no evidence that you wouldn't have to take it over at some point, would you? Well, you're right. You're going to have to go in there because every time he gives a wall in it, they're just resupplying. Yeah. Oh, exactly.

No, I've no doubt about that. What I was getting at, though, is boots on the ground is exactly what President Trump doesn't want to do. You get that, right? Yeah, but he may have to. Yeah. Because they're not going to stop now. Yeah. They're bombing all their neighbors.

Well, exactly. And that's why I was saying that air power alone are just bombing the snot out of some country. It doesn't necessarily make them then stop and behave unless somehow you get to the point where you bomb so much of the country that there's absolutely nothing left. But they've done an amazing job in Iran of decentralizing it. They got the missiles hidden and it's just all over. They were prepping for this for a long time because he saw what we ended up doing to Iraq. And they just figured, hey, you know, we're not going to be decapitated quite that easily. So say what you will.

They weren't dummies in this, even though they're acting like dummies at the moment. Well, they sure went. And he hasn't went in there like we went into Dresden, Germany and flattened the whole thing. All right. All right, Greg. Hey, I appreciate the call. Thanks for the talk, as always. 634.

Steve Malloy joins me. we're going to be talking Trump energy. In fact, he just put something out on X that he thinks that his own people are fighting against President Trump's energy plan.

So proud to have Steve Malloy back on, senior international. and Environment Legal Institute Fellow. And, of course, founder of junk science.com. Follow them on X at Junk Science. Steve, great to have you back on. Welcome, sir.

Thanks for having me. All right. Got a couple of things we wanted to talk about. First thing I wanted to talk about, and then we'll get into your latest ex post that I was devouring and just like going, huh, this morning, is it is obvious that the climate change bloom is off that rose, right?

You know, that's all gone. And you were talking about how even this report by the New York Times, Democrats once vowed to stop big oil and gas, and now they're not so sure. Now, the point is, Steve, you have followed this nonsense for a decade, you know, a couple of decades, at least I would figure. And what is going to replace it is what I wonder, because this was always about politics and power and just, you know, dominating our lives here. What do you think goes on here now that even they're admitting, well, maybe not. Maybe not. We're not going to do this anymore.

Yeah, so that's absolutely correct, Bill. I mean, it was never about climate. It was always about power because, you know, if we have climate regulation, that allows government to control the entire economy. You can't do anything without energy, right? Yeah. So, and we've exposed the climate hoax over the years, over the decades. It's always been about power.

And now, you know, the left finds itself. not only out of power, but kind of out of an issue. Because, you know, we've been banging on the climate hoax. Their claims have not worked out. It's just, it's not working for them anymore. It worked for them for a while. It maxed out when they got the trillion dollars in the inflation reduction act. Yeah.

But a lot of that money's been rolled back. So they're back to, like, what do we do? Since climate's not working, well, let's just go back to our usual left-wing issues. And that's what they're doing for, right? right now. And that just sort of underscores that, you know, there never was a climate crisis. It was just political opportunism. And it was, you know, it was a scam for the beginning. They tried to use climate to capture the government, the economy, you know, I call climate communism. And it's, you know, it's just not working out for them. So they're going to go back to their usual

bag of tricks and, you know. In other words, in other words, everybody else that's not them is racist, right? Is that part of it? Well, so ironically now, you know, Democrats who hate gasoline, as a matter of fact, during the Obama years, they wanted to have European-style gas prices, you know, $8, $10 a gallon. And so now that we're at $5 a gallon or $4 a gallon, whatever it is now, $450, you know, they're complaining about affordability. And they want cheap gas. Democrats want cheap gas since one, they want no gas. Well, I think they wanted expensive gas, but that was only under the assumption that they were going to tax the snot out of it.

so that they would have it to give to their buddies. Isn't that really what they were looking when they talk about European, you know, gas prices? I mean, you know, they want to control the price. They want the revenue. They want the power. They want everything. But, you know, it always goes back to what they want, the power. It's not about the climate.

It's not about gasoline. It's not about any of that stuff. It's not about affordability. It's just whatever they can, you know, use to advance their agenda. Here it's beating up on Trump. Yeah. Which, you know, right now just happens to be. easy to do. Yeah, exactly. I wanted to kind of focus on, one of the challenges we face out here

in Oregon out in the blue hive mine state, even though we're the red section of the blue hive mine state, is that the bureaucracy already has in place a framework. You know, the climate-friendly equitable communities and the carbon this, the carbon that, and the reducing issue emissions in zero net by 2030 or 2040, it's all in there. Everything is still there. Even though it's been done for a fraud, what would be the – is there any help coming to rip this out by its roots? Or are we just screwed? So this is the problem. I mean, you know, Democrats are not throwing climate away.

They're just going to soft pedal it. Okay. And as soon as they can get rid of Trump and get rid of Republicans and get rid of Republican control of, you know, Congress and the White House, the climate stuff is all going to come back. And so, you know, what President Trump needs to be doing right now, and this I think ties into the other thing we're going to talk about, is he needs to make sure that the changes he's making now at EPA and Department of Energy with respect to climate are permanent. And that's just not happening.

So there has been no legislation. It's just been all the executive orders and just, hey, don't do this anymore or what? Well, the one thing that has happened that is good, but that is in danger now because of the deep state is the endangerment finding. So the endangerment finding is the 2009 Obama rule that made greenhouse gases start the public health and welfare. And Trump has now rolled that back, and there's litigation. Now, at the same time, there's another bit of climate litigation, which is going to be heard in the Supreme Court next term. It's called Suncourt Trust versus Boulder County.

And it's a case where all these blue cities, county, states are suing big oil. And it's soon big oil over climate, claiming damages they want, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars. And so the Trump administration poses this saying that, well, you know, blue cities, states, counties are preempted, constitutionally preempted from regulating on climate. of the federal government's role. Right. But there's part of this brief that was filed last week where they say EPA is the primary regulator of greenhouse gas. Well, that can't be.

Wait a minute. The whole idea is that we were supposed to not be regulating the so-called greenhouse gases in the first place. Right. So on one hand, President Trump is saying we're not going to do this anymore. And in court, the DOJ is saying, oh, yeah, but we're going to use the EPA, EPA. to smack him over the head, right? Yeah, so I don't think President Trump knows what's going on.

That's kind of the problem. Oh. But, yeah, so EPA, represented by Department of Justice, is in court saying, we don't have congressional authorization to regulate green gas, therefore we can't. Makes perfect sense. Yes. It's the law. But now you have this other Supreme Court case where Department of Justice, not a party,

that's filed an amicus brief, is saying that EPA is the primary regulator. So do you think that Green's a Supreme Court? will use that, you know, that contradiction to drive their Mack truck through, of course. Yeah, yeah, and that's it. And then they're going to plunder the oil companies then for their ill-gotten gains, is how, of course, that will be taken, right? It's like throwing a hand grenade into the litigation. You never know what's going to happen.

So federal courts are going to have two conflicting views from the same party, Department of Justice. All right. So has the president not been able to clear this out, or clean this out, Or is it just like you had just mentioned? You just don't think he knows what's going on there right now. Yeah, I don't think he knows what's going on. I mean, there's, you know, there's no political head at the Department of Justice over the Environment and Natural Resources Division. So he's just left it to the deep state.

And, of course, you know, he's busy with Iran, reflecting pool, you know, the arch. Yeah, and meanwhile, deep state's going to do what Deep State does, right? Yeah, yeah. So, you know, maybe we could pay a little less attention to the reflection. collecting pool and pay attention to what's going on in the Department of Justice because rolling back the endangerment finding is like the flagship reform of EPA. It's what makes the Trump energy agenda possible. So we've got to pay attention to it. Boy, maybe you can make this part of EPA, the actual EPA rules with legislation and maybe do it before the midterms. What do you say,

Steve? Well, that would be nice too. I mean, we're in Congress stepping up into this whole matter. You know, we're the bills taking, you know, making it clear, even clearer, or I should say, even clearer that EPA does not have authority to regulate Greenhouse gases. Yeah. And it should be part of the actual law. So this way we're no longer, because otherwise what will happen is that, let's say, we don't know who's going to be the president in a couple of years or, you know, three years, whatever it is, could be anybody. Hopefully it's not a clown, but we'll say. Well, we don't even know who's going to run Congress. And then past that, let's say Democrats capture the Senate.

Well, you know, the Supreme Court composition could change in any time. And if the Democrats run the Senate, Trump's not going to get any picks through. Yeah. And then Speaker of the House, Hykeem Jeffries, I want to throw up in my mouth a little bit. And there's the impeachment and there's the investigations. There's all the rest of it. It's all over then, isn't it? Yeah.

It's all over. Yeah. So we have to get on top of this. And, you know, I realize there's a lot going on, but this is important, too. And, you know, it's hard to get anyone's attention. What would you suggest then as the political pressure point to work on this issue? Because, yeah, it's not sexy, you know, to talk about the Justice Department in Suncor Energy versus, you know, Boulder County. You know, it's not the same thing. So what would we do? Well, it's not sexy. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what in Washington is sexy, but it is essential. Yeah. Right? It's essential. The reflecting pool is not sexy. It's not even a sexy. It's not even a sexy.

essential. So President Trump does need to pay attention to what's going on in the Department of Justice, and he is not. Oh, okay. So ultimately, then, this is on the president then. And so he's, I guess he's looking for the little symbolic wins and maybe not as concerned about, hey, the big ones that would really help the country long term? Or, you know, he, I think he's more, you know, hate to say this, more focused on the legacy stuff than what needs to be done. And I don't really care about the ballroom. I care about this. I care about his agenda. And he should too. Yeah. And we want to be able to look back and say, boy, you know, I'm glad he put this stuff into law with Congress

and stopped the EPA attacks on normal life and got rid of this idea that every flush of the toilet is supposed to have one teaspoon of water used. When he was, when he became president for the second time, I was contacted by, you know, well-placed congressman, asking me, Steve, where would we send the EPA departments if we got rid of EPA? So that's what they were talking about in the beginning, but they're not talking about that. As a matter of fact, what I see is sabotage of what EPA has tried to do. The deregulatory stuff the EPA has tried to do. That's disappointing. I'm sad to hear this.

Is this something I talked with our Congress critter about, you know, Congressman Benz about this, and see what he can maybe do or put on this? We've got to screen this from the rafters. I mean, yeah, there's a lot competing for his attention. But, you know, this is a problem. We'll do. We'll do. Once again, Steve Malloy.

Steve Malloy is, of course, great guy, and it has been talking about these climate change nonsense issues there in the control and political power grabs for a long, long time. JunkScience.com at JunkScience is where you can find him on X. Thanks for bringing this up, and let's keep an eye on what is coming next from the next Democratic power grab, because they're going to sleep on this one, all right, Steve. Thanks so much. All right.

Happy to have Terry on. Hello, Terry on the road. What's on your mind? Yes, good morning ago. I just wanted to say we were all over Japan territory. You know, there's a couple of islands called Iwo Jima and Okinawa. So, you know, we were all over Japan. Maybe we didn't go to the mainland, but we had it. Well, this is, just to remind people who may not have heard the earlier part of the show here, Terry. I was just mentioning that the challenge for President Trump said he doesn't want to do boots on the ground, because the American people don't really want to do boots on the ground. I think we kind of tired of this whole, you know, Iraq style in an Afghanistan-style occupation.

But I've not seen, would you agree, though, I've not seen any real evidence that just bombing alone will end up taking out the enemy. How do you see it? No, I have not seen that anywhere either. So, yeah. So if they take Carg Island or something like that, I'm sure that, you know, one way or another, they would need boots on. ground, but hopefully not. Yeah. One way or the other, and of course the thing is, they don't want to blow up Carg Island

because whoever is going to be taking over Iran or running at some point, whether it is, let's see, another military general that is more cooperative and less stabby and terrorstie, terroristic. Is that a word? I don't know, Terry. Well, I don't say I worry about Cargon. If we did take it over, it's pretty hard. You know, I think, but I don't know, it would be hard to defend that, especially with drones and stuff coming in.

So I don't know. It's a quagmire in a way. Yeah, that seems to be what we're staring down, but I don't know. You know, Trump has an amazing ability. You look at his past of being able to pull rabbits out of a hat, but this would be a big rabbit to pull out of the hat at the moment. We'll see. Okay. Thank you very much for the call there, Terry.

77056-33-770 KMED. Speaking of President Trump, I was looking here, President Trump, on Wednesday, and this kind of slid by, it was in the Gateway Pundit, you're not going to believe how crooked the 2020 election was. President Trump suggesting on Wednesday that he's going to release the full files on the 2020 election proving that it was stolen from him. Trump said, we have things that you won't believe. when we release the full files, you're not going to believe how crooked the second the 2020 election was. Trump's comments coming after he was asked if he plans to renew the United States, Mexico, Canada Agreement, rather, on July 1st. After telling reporters he's unsure that he will renew that, he highlighted the stolen 2020 election. It's when he was talking about.

That's in the Gateway Pundit. Kind of got slid under the door, right? meanwhile the state of Oregon reacting negatively to this kind of stuff here this is in the Oregon live under new rules proposed by the U.S. Postal Service, Oregon would have to provide the federal government with a list of registered voters in order to keep mail-in voting. In other words, for us to do this, if we're going to do mail-in voting, we're going to have to send in the voters list. The proposed rules, which were published last week, according to the Oregon Live here,

stemming from a March executive order by President Trump. And it's about creating lists of verified eligible voters in each state. And it would stop the Postal Service from sending mail in and absentee ballots to voters who are not on the list. In other words, if you're not on the list, if you're not on this certified voters list, you are not going to receive a ballot, nor will you be able to mail in a ballot. That sounds like a pretty reasonable thing. But there are reasons here, because we have Attorney General, Secretary of State, that are just all about, hey, we can't do something like this.

But if the proposed guidelines go into effect, states would be required to give the Postal Service the names, addresses, and unique ballot info of individuals who get mail-in ballots. In other words, making sure the things are on the up and up. In Oregon, where elections are exclusively conducted via mail, include all registered voters. So Oregon, nearly two dozen other states have already sued to block the executive order. Because, gosh, you know, our voting system is so clean and so perfect, which is why we're suing to block the executive order from President Trump,

that for some reason to have President Trump and the federal government be able to check up on how clean our election is would somehow disenfranchised voters. Yeah, I'm trying to figure that one out. They're also claiming, though, that it's just the states. Constitutionally, the states are the only ones that can do this, except that constitutionally, the federal government can weigh in on federal elections, and that's what they're talking about, the rules for federal elections. Washments repeat.

Stay tuned. Could be really interesting, yep, because Oregon is just that good. We don't want anyone looking over our shoulder with the way that we conduct elections, because we are just that good. Yeah, I can't help my sarcasm. All right. Good morning. KMED.

This is Bill. Friday morning and who's this? Welcome. This is Matt. Matt, it is a pleasure having you on. What's your name? Well, I got your name, but what's on your mind is what I meant to say. I have a little bit of topic change.

I'm over here in Grant Pass. And Three Rivers School District just fired their athletic director for students praying on the still before track me. Oh, what did they, so they fired the, Athletic Director, what was it that your phone's a little scratchy? For praying on the field before track meet? Oh, okay. All right.

Well, that sounds like... They were gathering. His students would grab other students from other schools, and there were reasons for firing him. He had low numbers, but he had 82 track kids this year, or his fundraiser's numbers were low, and he learned more this year than the last 10 years. But at the end of the year, they let him go. Now, you said it sounded like you were saying for praying on students. Did I mishear you?

Maybe. No, for his students were praying before me. Oh, praying, not P-R-E-Y. It's P-O-P-O-P-O. See, that's it. See, we're in a big Christian revival going on. Got it. All right.

See, Matt, see, that's the problem here. When it comes to government school teachers, I'm used to hearing about teachers praying on on students. Don't what I'm getting at? We're on the good side of that. Okay. All right. Thank you for changing it.

Yeah, so definitely, so because the kids prayed, so he fired him, right? Wow. Yes. And he was having 600 to 700 kids in a circle on the field, and he never got involved in it.

He didn't, he would remind him, if you're going to do this, go do it before we start. You got this much time. But he was never really directly involved leading this at all. So he wasn't leading it, but you think the school district fired him for that reason for even tacitly supporting it? Yeah, there are reasons that were given were not, they didn't have the receipts for.

Oh, okay. What's his name again? Do you know? That name is Kelly Sparland. Kelly, okay. I have to invite. I wonder if Kelly be willing to talk about it. Do you know him?

I do know him. I have him in Bible study every Tuesday morning, and I could ask him, but I know he doesn't want it to be focused on him because of his beliefs that it was God doing this stuff with the kids. He wants to stay focused on God for them and not him. He doesn't want to – he won't go fight it. All right. I wanted it out there for all the parents to know exactly why what went on, too. Kelly, if you could, just give him my number, okay? And then if you see him in, and if he wants to talk about it, he's welcome on the show anytime.

All right. All right. Thank you. All right. Thanks, Matt. Let us know. Yeah. I'm sorry about that because, you know, I'm hearing Matt's talking about, yeah, the guy over at, you know, Three Rivers is praying.

Well, students, I'm thinking praying like, P-R-E-Y. He's like, okay, yeah, get in line. You see a lot of stories like that. By the way, we've seen more women doing it. You notice that more women in the government schools? systems have been taking on the worst behaviors of men. Yay, equality.

It's a minute after seven. This is KMED, KMED, HD1, Eagle Point, Medford, KBXG, Grants Pass. We'll check the latest Fox News now, and then we're going to have to end up getting into the hand of the update, see what Sean's thinking this morning, and Mr. Outdoors, where's the lava

going to be flowing here as the volcanoes erupt, and we're in triple digits. Tell you more coming up.
