7705633770KMED. My email is bill.billmeyershow.com. You know, absolutely most important story happening in Salem. This is, there was just nothing better, nothing better than this performance yesterday on the house floor at about 1145. They're all dancing. Yeah, drag Queens! No, I'm not kidding. They're dancing and lip-syncing to Diva Love here. Yes! And they cut the microphone when practically everybody on the floor, except for a handful of people, including Dwayne Younger who I think was was videotaping this

I'm not sure I know Dwayne. I don't even think was on the floor. He's what told me about this is We got drag queens on the floor, right? They cut the microphone as they're all standing up in roaring approval. This is the state house yesterday Yesterday yeah, and it was all about HR3. HR3 about honoring black drag queens. Something about inclusivity, you know, that sort of thing. And Travis Nelson is the main sponsor of the bill or one pushing this one, and he makes sure that everybody knows that he's black and gay. And he tells everybody that again and again. It's fascinating.

And deep gratitude and recognition to the incredible drag performers who joined us this morning. Aqua Flora and Isaiah Esquire is joining us on the house floor today. In addition to all of the LGBTQ plus folks in the building, your presence, artistry, and courage are a powerful reminder of the joy, resilience, and cultural impact of drag in Oregon and beyond. Thank you for sharing your light with us this morning. It's an honor to have you here. Happy Pride Month. Hey, that's great. That was, yeah, quite the performance. There's a lot more to it, in which he's going and waxing poetic about the long history of black drag and the community just hasn't received its recognition.

And they approved the House resolution. They approved it. Kevin Mannix, a Republican, supposedly. He voted yes. But is everybody just afraid of voting no on something like that? Yonker wasn't on the floor. Wallin wasn't on the floor either. A bunch of them, they were off doing House business. I think many of those Republicans know they wanted nothing to do with being run. But Kevin Mannix, good old Kevin Mannix, is he going to run for governor again? Is that the whole thing? If you're going to do that, you have to do your kissing the ring?

All right. That's the latest. I don't know if you have an opinion on that or not, but yeah, drag queens on the House floor, and it went everywhere in conservative media. Breitbart, of course, picking it up there. In a post on exit reads, Oregon State Representative Dwayne Younger confirmed that a drag show had been performed. Younger's post included video and Dwayne said, I'm not sure the Founding Fathers envisioned taxpayer-funded legislative chambers being turned into platforms for political theater. Younger added, the House floor is meant for serious debate, lawmaking, and serving all Oregonians, not partisan spectacles designed to push cultural agendas. If this feels more performance than governance, you're not

alone. So anyway, there is a lot going on there and this is making a lot of noise out there, and people are saying, this is what the state legislature is up to. The reason why you're thinking, okay, Bill, all right, you've got a couple of black drag queens out there dancing and frolicking around and waving the pride flag, and then you have the legislature roaring approval after this, it's just not that big of a deal. I remind you that this is the same group of clowns which has bottled up and held hostage

the wildfire map repeal bill. Remember that? Remember that? The only way they were going to do the wildfire map repeal bill is if you allow them to steal your kicker. Remember? They want to steal your kicker and then have a prancing drag queens waving their pride flags all over the state legislature. So, yeah, I think you have a right to be just more than a little bit teed off. OK. All right.

You want to talk about that? You certainly can. right to be just more than a little bit teed off. Okay? All right. You want to talk about that? You certainly can. 770-563-377-OKMED. Speaking of the LGBTQ agenda, this is kind of interesting. OSF's top leader departing after seven months on the job. I was watching this on COBE the other day, Daily Courier and others are picking it up here.

But the executive director, Gabriela Calcio, leaving after just seven months, she's already on leave, which means that she's, I think, been kind of forced out. And more than one person was writing me about what the plays were looking like. And it was like, once again, are we going to do good Shakespeare plays or are we going to do everything kind of like what was happening over on the state legislature floor yesterday? Everything about, let's make sure that everything's a person of color or some oppressed group or some transgender this and, you know, it's just, and it could be that what's going on over at OSF is that people aren't buying the tickets.

And the tickets are very expensive there. And that means a lot for Ashland's tourism season. And they've had a penchant for hiring a lot of people at one of the push political agendas rather than putting on really good shows that people and tourists want to to pay big money for to go see. I don't know if this is what's connected with that or not that's the latest. Applegate Fire that one broke out yesterday it was up at the KMED's transmitter site on Roxanne and I saw the smoke there yep knew the things were going on and the phone started being it off with the with the alerts and most of the alerts were ended up going down just to be ready after a while.

But yeah, for a while, we do have some evacuations on what was it? Jack 436, I think is one. I still don't know all of these zones that the county has everybody split up in. You know, in Northern California, Siskiyou County, they do the same thing. Jack 436, Jack 437, you know, yada yada yada. But I think 436 is still on the evacuation notice. It's over by Buncombe, from what I understand. And that was that way. It was that 350 acres last night. They're estimating maybe around 400 acres this morning. Still investigating the cause of that out on the upper Applegate Road and Little Applegate Road. So keep an eye on that. Just amazing bomber and firefighter activity and hopefully they'll get that.

I guess they have it partially contained at this point starting getting that contained so that is a very good news. Something else which was also of good news and this is kind of well it's not necessarily inside baseball but this is something that I was concerned about a number of years ago when we had the Ol' Meat a Fire. The Ol' Meat a Fire that destroyed what was a 2,300 homes and businesses back then and under the old emergency manager regime we had no emergency alert broadcasts on our radio stations. None at all. You couldn't get to the fire because of what was going on there. And so I was working so hard to keep this because it was just so... heck, I was even under an evacuation notice or get ready to evacuate at that time in East Medford.

There was concern. Fortunately, kind of, you know, they got a handle on it and the wind ended up shifting. But yeah, I was just kept hopping that night. And we have that emergency alert system, you know, the one that interrupts things on the air and you hear on TV and radio and the county didn't send one message. Well, they sent two yesterday. They actually, for the first time in my recent memory, they used it. Now they also sent out the Everbridge alerts and that was great too. So you were still getting the phone alerts, you were still getting the email alerts. I got them all. Everything just kept going crazy. And it also happened on the air too. I'm glad. I'm really happy about that. Maybe some policies have changed over at Jackson County Emergency Management and if so, I'm good with this. Now, Everbridge, the Everbridge alert system that they use to bing your phones and do everything

else, that can also be used to send the emergency alert system that takes over the broadcast media here in Jackson and Josephine County. And so, I think that was good. That was progress. My thing has been use all the tools we have to keep people informed. I had folks that were calling me the next morning after Alameda had broken out, and they were talking about how the cell towers had burned down

in their neighborhood. The internet was gone, in many cases, or almost next to impossible to get, and they were hoping to hear, you know, some news coming from the county on that. And that was something that was in my craw. I saw what was going up on in the Eugene area in which a fire department over there was using EAS quite frequently and telling people about evacuations, etc., etc. Now I know one of the reasons why the county likes the cell phone deal is that they geo-target. They only want to tell people who they think need to know, but I think it's good that the greater county also know what's going on. Even just be

aware that, hey, we got a fire someplace. Could be some evacuation. Keep an eye on that. Still the zones. I would imagine a lot of people still don't know their zone. I finally figured out what mine was yesterday. Linda says, what is our zone? I said, honey, I don't know. She says, I'm gonna go look. And so she's looking on Jackson County's website and going through it. Oh, Bill, we're not gonna have any trouble remembering this one. It's 007. So it's 007. So when we hear that, you know, Jack 007, we have to get out of there. Get out 007. Get out 007 now. So, all right. There we go. 7705633,

Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Let me go to the phones. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Good morning. This is Kevin. Hi, Kevin. How are you? I'm good. I just had a couple of questions for you. Sure. Well first, well actually a statement. We live in the Applegate and we were affected by all of the fires yesterday although and we were actually scheduled to leave. Yeah, did you have to leave or did they finally calm it down and you could stay? Well, we were in the go zone but the fire was actually heading away from our residence so we did not leave. But anyway, so and they worked really hard. They had a lot of planes and helicopters. It was a

very good response from our perspective. Yeah, they threw everything at it, I know. The other question I had was on the Oregon kicker. I thought that was in the Constitution that they couldn't touch that without a vote of the people. But yet I keep hearing chances are that Mr. Golden and our wonderful governor were considering using part of that to help with the wildfire. Yeah, and that was the purpose. And it's not even Golden.

Golden was not the one I don't think he... Well, he has to because he is on the record of saying afterwards that, well, it'd be really nice to come in here and have $150-$200 million in the wildfire account and not have to find a way to get it out of the general fund because, you know, they need to pay for drag queen bills and stuff like that. Oh yeah, that's important. Yeah, that's the important stuff. You have to be able to do that, understand.

But yeah, you're right. It is in the Constitution, but it can be, from what I understand, it can be modified by legislation. And there is a possibility that maybe that would have to go. Some of that could have to go to the vote of the people, but they're not going to let the wildfire repeal bill, the wildfire map, just the map part of that bill get repealed unless there's some movement on being able to steal the kicker. So I guess that would be, they all sign off on a bill that would then be

referred to the voters to be able to say yes or no to and then everybody up and we would yeah and then we'd lose that because Portland would say we don't care. So what? Yes I would think if it's in the Constitution doesn't it still have to get a vote of the people before they can actually deal with it in legislatively? Yeah well they can deal with it in legislatively? Yeah, well, they can deal with it legislatively by saying, we're going to give you a choice on this. But yeah, you can almost count the days of life left in the kicker, can't you, in some ways?

It seems to be that way. Yeah, and because they don't want to let go of any of that money. So as far as the fire, back on the fire though, you're okay in your neighborhood then this morning? Yeah, actually it was heading to, we're down to fire level two, we were a three yesterday. All right, do you know or does anybody know exactly where it started? Do you know? I do not know. I think it's up by, at least from what I understand, right near in the vicinity of Hamilton Road and Upper Applegate. But I think it was within there and I don't know the cause of it yet.

I was hoping to hear maybe from you or one of your colleagues. Yeah, I haven't heard anything about it. They're still investigating is all the news that I'm getting because I was wondering if it was up in the hills and maybe we had some some lightning. I didn't notice any thunderstorm activity, but one never knows. Some of that stuff can whip up pretty quickly in the hills. I didn't see any thunder or lightning yesterday, if I had to guess, I would say it was probably man-caused somehow, maybe somebody mowing or something. Yeah, it could be. Hey, Kevin, I'm glad you're safe this morning. Thank you. And we'll keep an eye here. If we hear anything, we'll let you know, okay? Thank you. Okay. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you. 770KMED, let me go to line 2. Hi, good morning. Welcome. Hello. Hi, Gene. OK. I've got a statement and a question. OK.

OK. As for the ones that were enjoying the drag queen show, they must all be queer, aren't they? No, I don't think it's necessarily that. I think it's just that, you know, the LGBTQ agenda is the one true faith in the Oregon legislature right now. I think that's what's going on. And if you blaspheme against that faith, bad things happen in your election world. I think that must be what's going on. That's the only reason I can see why

Kevin Mannix, a Republican, would have voted for that HR 3 resolution? Well, I would say he's a turncoat, not a Republican. Okay. All right. Well, what's your question now? We're all clear. But anyway, the question I have is, what is Just Fane County doing about telling the residents when they are in danger of a fire? Well, they can send the emergency alerts to, have you had any evacuations recently? I don't think so in Joe County on KBXG. I don't think there's been anything, but they can do the same thing. They can do the same thing.

You have, Josephine County has its own Everbridge account and it also has access to the emergency alert, just like Jackson County does. So it is there. Yeah, I never hear what the noise is for danger or anything on the radio, but on Jackson County they've got a noise going on. Oh, I assure you they're on KBXG. I assure you. Yeah, they're there, But they just tend to be short little tests. You know, it's about 10, 12 seconds. It would be easy to miss it sometimes. Okay? That's all. Yeah, nothing's been said about it. Thank you, Gene. 770KMED, I'll grab

one more. Hi, who's this? Welcome. This is Miner Dave. Hi, Dave. You know, Wildfire Brigade shared where they had these big excavators in and big, huge off-road dump trucks. And yesterday, I seen a convoy. Okay, huge big dump trucks where and doing what, Dave? Well, we don't know what they're doing, but they're out here by Iron Gate. I seen a convoy of the most biggest dump trucks I've ever seen. They're strictly for off-road. We don't know what they're doing. I called Captain Bill and told him what I've seen, so he's going to be on the lookout for those convoy of dump trucks on low boys. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll get Captain Bill on there because there's been some suspicion about what all of the

the massive earth moving equipment is doing over there by the old Irongate site and if this is part of restoration or something else really weird going on, I'll see if I can get him on tomorrow, okay? That'd be great. All right. Hey, thanks for the note on that, Dave. 28 minutes after 6. This is the Bill Maier Show on KMED 99.3 KBXG. Appreciate you waking up. Interesting story that we have going on here in the legal world. It was more than just what happened in the Supreme Court yesterday, what happened over in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Three judge panel ruled this week that Rachel Damiano, I guess her name now is Rachel Sager, a former assistant principal and a teacher, Katie Medard, are going to be able to move forward with their lawsuit against Grants Pass School District. And the Ninth Circuit said that there are some issues there and they're going to be kicking it back into the district court here or a federal court

here in Medford and I'm going to talk with Matthew Hoffman who is their attorney from Alliance Defending Freedom. He'll be calling the show here in the next few minutes and we'll catch you up with that. That's kind of a big deal for religious rights and freedom of speech. Now, of course, I don't know if they're going to win their lawsuit completely, but there's a lot to unpack here. We'll talk with Matthew about that coming up in a few. We're here with Mal Sanford, who's a longtime customer of Clauser Drilling. I actually had them drill my first well in 1970s.

... in downtown Medford. You're hearing the Bill Meyers Show on 106.3 KMED. 6.35, we appreciate Matthew Hoffman, legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, checking in with us this morning. How are you doing this morning, Matthew? Welcome back. I'm doing well. Thank you, Bill.

Thanks for having us. I think the last time I talked to you was about a year ago, I think, when there were arguments made in this case about the two Grants Pass educators that ended up getting fired and we ended up getting at least an answer from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, earlier this week? That's absolutely correct. And we're glad and happy to announce it's a great victory for our clients, the two Grants Pass educators. And the Ninth Circuit reaffirmed the principle that public teachers shouldn't lose their jobs simply for expressing views that the school district disagrees with. And could you kind of

catch people up with why they were, well, supposedly what led them to being fired at this point? You know, this happened a long, you know, a couple years ago, two, three years ago when this was first going. And I mentioned there's been so much water under the bridge since that time and the wheels of justice grind slowly, as you can tell. Okay. They do. But we're pleased with the victory now. So in March of 2021, a few years ago, Katie and Rachel, two Grants Pass educators, proposed policy solutions to a lot of the kind of radical gender ideology policies that are being pushed in Oregon. They proposed reasonable, loving, and tolerant solutions to respect everyone's rights for students, parents, and teachers. They put up a website and suggested that people go there and learn more about the issues. And that was the so-called I resolve videos, right, that they ended up putting out at that

time. That's right. Yes, they wanted to launch a grassroots campaign. They called it I resolve and they developed a video to discuss their policy proposals. Some people didn't like that. As you can, as you know, this issue can cause controversy. And so they complained to school district officials. And instead of understanding that this was a reasonable policy proposal and that they had a free speech interest,

the school district suspended and then ultimately terminated Rachel and Katie. Wow. So they're fired essentially for having a different point of view. Now this is a state which, by the way, I don't know if you heard about this, Matthew, yesterday on the House floor there was a House Resolution 3 which was about honoring Oregon black drag queens and they had black drag queens dancing all over the House floor, right? This is the state that we're living in, and I guess it was that agenda which led to Katie and Rachel being fired in the first place, right? So there's been an uphill battle here.

Governments, unfortunately, attempt to impose the orthodoxy that can be formed to many people on people. They try and do that in school districts, and I think that's what happened to Rachel and Katie. The government wanted them to espouse a certain view. Rachel and Katie objected to it based on their personal convictions and religious beliefs, and the government did, the school district did fire them for that. And that's exactly why we have the First Amendment, is to protect against that that because we all have the freedom to express our deeply held views. And that especially applies to teachers in a public school who are working with students, working with parents, and often will be the most informed as to the

best solutions for those students and parents that can serve everybody equally. Now the thing is is that what they made a website I guess too and they made and shared that video. What was the reason ostensibly given by the school district at that point to fire them and why they had broken policy or protocol in some way? So the superintendent said it the best, I think, and he said that they were fired because of their views and what they said and he thinks that those views Conflicted with the views of the school district. There were other allegations about policy violations But it ultimately comes down to their protected speech because they didn't violate any policy

You know, they created this video mostly on their own time the policies allowed for them to discuss it at school and the First Amendment allows for them to discuss it at school and in their otherwise free time. And the school district in fact has a policy that encourages teachers to bring policy proposals to a full discussion I think precisely because they recognize that teachers... Hey Matthew, what happens next? What happened then with the Ninth Circuit Court? What did it actually rule this week and what does this mean then for the case in moving

forward? So the Ninth Circuit vacated most of the district court's ruling that had granted judgment to the school district. They said that the district court made key legal errors. And so what that means is now we'll go back for a trial in the district court in Oregon so Rachel and Katie can prove their free speech and religious discrimination claims on the merits before a jury. So it doesn't mean that they've won the case right now, but it does mean that Rachel and Katie finally get a day in court.

Now, right? Is that what I understand? That's correct. So they had lost at the District Court. And so this win at the Ninth Circuit is a ruling because their claims are reinstated. The Ninth Circuit said they have shown enough evidence that they get to a jury and we're hopeful for the jury trial that the jury will see that this was a retaliation for protected speech. Oh, you see, that's a very key point. I didn't realize that this would have been going to a jury trial. Jury trials are a big deal. It's one thing to maybe have a progressive favoring judge ruling, but to get a jury, your peers, well, could go

either way, I guess, right? This is what you got to work on now. I think the jury trial right is a fundamental right, and I think precisely for the purpose is that we want a jury of our peers, a collection of citizens, to decide these sorts of issues as a fundamental principle of our democracy. What is the ask in the lawsuit? Monetary damages, reinstatement, or you know, what's the deal? There are multiple ones. One of the big ones is that Rachel and Katie were punished under a speech policy that the district has that restricts teachers and other employees from speaking about issues some may perceive to be controversial. That

that extremely broad policy is unconstitutional because it stops teachers from talking about all manner of things that may or may not be controversial simply because some people might be offended by it. And so that's one of the big ones. Another one then, like you mentioned, is reinstatement to their appropriate positions. And then there would be a monetary component as Rachel and Katie suffered the loss of income and also distress and loss of reputation in the community because of what the district said and what the district did to them. Yeah.

This is all having happened four years ago and now we're just getting to the point where there could be a jury trial. Very interesting. Matthew Hoffman, Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. Tell us a bit about Alliance Defending Freedom and how we can support your group before you take off, because I know Dr. Powers, my guest that I have every Monday talking history, local history, he's a huge fan of what Alliance Defending Freedom is all about. Thank you so much. ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom, is a public interest Christian law firm that exists to defend key First Amendment religious freedom free speech rights, as well as defend

the family, parental rights, and life from conception to natural death. We operate as a pro bono law firm, meaning we represent all clients in court at no charge, to help secure freedoms for those clients and really hopefully set precedent to make us a more free society overall. We keep track of all our cases at our website, ADFlegal.org. And I encourage you to visit there to learn more about ADF, follow our cases, and we absolutely always appreciate your prayers for our clients and for our mission. Matthew, when do you think or believe we might be able to get a trial moving forward for these two women?

I unfortunately I can't predict that. We'd hope sooner rather than later. It really depends on the scheduling at the court, but we're going to work as hard as we can towards that trial for Rachel and Katie. Overall, do you believe as an attorney, having observed what's going on in the culture, Do you believe as an attorney having observed what's going on in the culture, have we reached peak transgender insanity or is there still more damage yet to be done in the culture before some return to sanity ends up occurring here? Oregon is especially all in on this, but the evidence is coming out more and more that kids are actually being damaged by this. I think that recent Supreme Court decision yesterday

about the Tennessee, is it a Tennessee law? I think it's what it was, that the state had a compelling interest to keep minors from doing damage to themselves that they can't understand, you know, the whole relevance or what could happen to them. What are you thinking? I'm very encouraged on this issue. And I think it's largely because the people like Rachel and Katie speaking out for truth and what they believe in and what they know is best for kids.

Like you mentioned just yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld the Tennessee law protecting minors against these harmful medical procedures and so-called gender transition. And so I think the tide is turning in that respect. I think if you look at the life cycle of this case, as we discussed before, this started in March 2021. But now we have a ruling here in June 2025 from the Ninth Circuit on an issue that many

proceed to be controversial, but that recognize that what Rachel and Katie said is entitled to the utmost protection under the First Amendment as speech. And so I think it's because so many people have spoken out and have said, this is harmful to kids, it's harmful to the parents, it's harmful to all of us, and forces us to do things inconsistent with our religious beliefs and convictions. And the fact is that they're right. The scientific evidence now backs this up, that these procedures do not have any scientific basis in helping children. In fact, they likely cause much more harm than good. And so I think the tide is certainly turning on this, and it's because of brave people like Rachel and Katie

and all others who have spoken out on this issue. I hope you're right about that. I know that the state of Oregon came out with an announcement after that, the SCOTUS ruling came out and reaffirming that, hey, they are completely still all in on the transgender agenda but that is our cross to bear. No pun intended. I think it unfortunately in some states you know they continue to double down on harmful ideologies. I think there are a lot of helpful developments at the federal level too with the DOJ investigating states for allowing the participation of males

female sports and things like that. And so I'm hopeful that there can be broader change even in reluctant states. Could you also repeat your web address please? Someone just made note that they couldn't understand your web address. So I'll let you do it one more time here, Matt. And thank you so much. It is ADFlegal.org. ADFlegal.org. ADFlegal.org. Alright, Matthew, congratulations and best of luck for a good trial whenever that occurs here in the next few months, alright? You be well.

Thank you so much, Bill. Thank you. Matthew Hoffman is the legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. ADFLegal.org. 647 at KMED. The greater grants pass road... You're hearing the Bill Meyers show on 1063 KMED.

Now Bill wants to hear from you. 541-770-5633. That's 770 KMED. A little bit of open phone time on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Always fun. 770-5633. I'm. Kind of curious have you ever been popped for a speeding ticket on East McAndrews coming down the hill out of those super high

hill neighborhoods up by Roxyanne Prescott Park in that in those neighborhoods? I was wondering about that because yesterday I was coming down the hill from KMED. I was able to see the smoke for the Applegate fire over there. I'm going, oh boy, we got some issues. Needless to say, they were throwing everything at it and good going for the firefighters' first responders. Mr. Fire, Greg Roberts will join me at 7.30. We'll kind of get the latest on where this is going and we'll have a little more news on it at that point.

But anyway, so I'm up there at Roxanne at KMED and I'm cleaning the filters of the transmitter and just doing a little bit of maintenance. You got to do that every now. Then you got to visit it. You got to visit transmitters and diaper them and give them a little baby powder on their behind and keep things going. So I'm coming down the hill on the Forerunner and I'm on East McAndrews coming out of those neighborhoods and there's a real steep section, like six, seven percent grade. You know that one section, you're still in a single lane at that point. And then it eventually near the bottom starts expanding out to two lanes, going in each direction, that kind of thing. And I know what goes on there all the time. And so I'm doing 40

and I'm doing 40 miles an hour. That's the speed limit there even though you got this huge hill and it's going to make you want to do about 60, 65 if you just let your car coast. That's just the way it is. And so I'm in the 4Runner and I'm doing 40. And I have a conga line of people from those East Medford neighborhoods, probably about five, six cars, that you can tell they're on my butt and they're angry. I know that they're really PO'd because they wanted to go faster than I wanted to go. I said, no, I just had a feeling. It just felt like it was happy hunting day for Medford police.

And so we're going down the hill and just as we're getting down to the hill off to the left, you were able to see the Medford motorcycle cop that was there with the radar gun. I think all the people that were PO'd at me, hey, let me tell you, I'd like to go 60, 65 miles an hour down that hill too. I mean, just let it go. I said, no, I have no desire to pay the city of Medford or the state of Oregon or the court system any money and go to some stupid diversion program or anything else in some ill-fated attempt to try to keep it off. There's just no way. There's no way. So we get down there and then you could tell everybody was probably PO'd at me going, oh okay yeah look there's the motorcycle cop and so I just wanted to say, you five or six people who were in the

conga line yesterday, you're welcome. Okay. I was looking out for you. I was looking out, even though you were PO'd, PO'd at the time. Right. I tell you, they increased the fines now. Those are not cheap. Even a 15 mile an hour speeding ticket, as you know, if you've ever been

popped in downtown Bedford you know right Interesting news coming out of the medical sports world I Was reading this on revolver last night revolver dot news one of my favorite websites Then they tend to dig into some more alternative stuff Six marathon runners have dropped dead in just the past two weeks. It's happening on marathon race courses. Six healthy, good-conditioned marathon runners dropping dead, doing what they love, pushing their bodies.

And Revolver writing, of course, in the world we live in now, it's impossible to hear news like this and not think back to what many people were either forced to or willingly pumped into their veins just a few years ago. Of course, the COVID shot, right? And you remember Stephen Colbert even dancing for the vaccine? And now for many years, we've been watching many healthy people experiencing sudden deaths. Six marathon runners, all of them under 36 years, but everything's normal. Ellen Cassidy, 24 years old, passed away,

Cork Marathon in Ireland, June 1st. Olivia Toohy, 24 years old, died at the Edinburgh Marathon in May. Christine Satarino, 36 years old, died after the marathon on June 10th. Gabriel Hofstadter, a 20 year old, died at a Brazil marathon June 10th. Caroline Oliveira, 31 years old, died at the Junino marathon in Brazil, also June 8th. And so we have six marathon runners, two weeks, some of the best people. Very interesting. Now, I know that we don't know that the jab necessarily caused it, but then there was

another story that came up the other day, and maybe you haven't heard much about it. But I did right away because I watch Food Network a lot. Or actually, I should say, Linda watches Food Network a lot and I just sort of absorb it as I'm on my laptop doing other things. I lose control of my life when there's something good on the Food Network and Linda watches it. So Linda's a big foodie. Big passion for food. God bless her. But we ended up finding out that Chef Anne Burrell died in her apartment in New York

City. She just died suddenly. She was doing a comedy show the night before, and they were wondering what happened. Well, she died of a cardiac arrest, 55 years old. Not very old. And the thing that we do know about the Food Network, along with everybody else, boosted and vaxxed to the max. Everything about them. In fact, there's a long time that they were all boosted and vaxxed to the max there. And all the help, all the hired help around the people on the Food Network shows, you know, the Bobby Flay shows and the Chef Ann Burrell shows and the Barbecue This and the, you know, baking

contest that all of that. The people on camera would not be wearing their mask, but oh boy, all the little minions around them were infectious beings and they had to mask up and everything else is there, you know, cleaning up the magical refrigerator that always has the perfect space for the souffle that they're putting in after the cooking show. You know how this goes with cooking show stuff, right? And Chef Anne Burrell was one of those people that was on her social media again and again and again, talking about the vaccine and the boosting and the boosting and the vaccine and you got to do this and all the rest of it and I can't help but wonder I don't know if you have any opinion on that or not there is another

story that came out that Japan ended up releasing this big study of 18 million people. This is back on the COVID vaccine once again. 18 million people and they found out that cause of death spiked three to four times in the 90 to 120 days after vaccines. You did not see a same or a similar spike in deaths in the non-vaccinated population. And this was an 18 million population study. And they're putting the information out now about that. It's not you should know.

And we're still here, the PSAs coming from the federal government saying, hey, I don't know, maybe RFK Jr. has killed that. I don't know. But I do wonder has killed that. I don't know. But I do wonder. And I think we all do wonder. I can't recall having any times in which you would always hear about somebody dying suddenly unless we found out, oh, they had a heart murmur or something like that, or they had the widow, they had the widow thing, the widow gene that caused the gut, you know, you know, that story that cuts off the blood to the heart and

it has to be taken care of with bypass surgery and all that sort of stuff, but there's been a growing trend of that and more than just me. A lot of people are starting to notice that there could be some longer-term damage they were talking about. I'd be curious if RFK Jr. is going to get to the bottom of that. Right now though, RFK Jr Jr. is going to get to the bottom of that. Right now though, RFK Jr. seems most concerned with getting to the bottom of causes of autism. And for that, he wants to have it all together and maybe wrapped up in a bow and give us all a better idea in September. We'll see where that goes. It's 6.59 at KMED 99.3 KBXG. This is KMED and KMED HD1 Eagle Point Medford KBXG Grants Pass. Another story we have coming up for you. We're going to be sticking in the medical vein here for a little bit.

Dr. Steven Goldberg is the Chief Medical Officer of Diagnostics Giant Health Track RX. It's a place that does a lot of molecular biology and diagnosis of infectious diseases. I don't know if I really explained that elegantly, but he can explain it for himself. He's going to join me because there is another big trend which is starting to get more attention in the health world that a lot of over-the-counter medications, things like cold remedies, sleeping pills, asthma pills, you know, and all sorts of other things. They're starting to find out and have some real suspicions that taking a lot of these things are putting more Americans at risk for dementia. And I like to find out which ones he's talking about. I have an

idea, I've read some other research about that. I know that my, I have my little Costco, is it they call it the sleep aid or something. I don't use it very often, but what is it? Doxalene succinate was one of the ones that they were talking about. And I think it has to do, I think this is what he's going to talk about. It has to do with what they call brain interrupters, drugs that tend to interrupt some function of the brain, whether it's to try to get you to go to sleep, whether it's a heart medication to try to slow down your heart rate or whatever it is, but there is some growing concern that we're looking at dementia risks that are going up because of this. So I'm going to talk to Dr. Goldberg about that here in the

next few minutes, alright? Seven o'clock, hi, good morning, who's this? Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Who's this? Oh, hey, Jeff. How are you this morning? Oh, fairly well. You on the air? Yeah. Yeah, we're on the air. We're both here. Hey, I'm just going. It's Conspiracy Theory Thursday. I don't ask who's there. I just put you on. That's just the way it goes. You know? Well, it's seven o'clock. I thought you'd gone in top of the hour. Well, I will be here, but I'll delay it slightly for you. How about that? Okay, well when it comes to the vaccines and correlating them to heart attacks and cardiac arrest and people don't want to see it, it's like, well, how many times do you have to stick your hand into the table saw to realize that every time you come out,

you're missing a finger? There was another meeting of, and gosh I don't have that story in front of me Jeff, and I forget the source, I've got to find it, but it had to do with a bunch of funeral home directors getting together and talking. It was like a trade show or a trade get-together. Alba, that's a really happy place. You know, you get together, you talk about the latest and greatest coffins and things, I don't know, but in all seriousness. But they were discussing how there were embalmers still talking about, even today, years after the big highlights of the jab, that they're finding those long, fibrous white clots that are still being pulled out of some people.

Like, Mork Donalds is my kind of place? Yeah, yeah, something like that. It's a happy place. Yeah, the happy place, indeed. So yeah, yeah, could be. I don't know, I'm just wondering if maybe the thing is, is that maybe it's killing, you know, it's kind of like picking off medical gazelles. It's slowly not all in mass, and maybe that's why it's been able to go under the radar for so long? It's like any other part of the Democrat agenda. You can't prove it, Bill.

No, I can't prove it, but we can notice things though, right? Yeah, so you can't prove it, so therefore we win the argument. OK, well, can't prove it. I'll admit, can't prove it, but it sure looks funny. Yeah, well, like I said, how many times do you have to lose a finger before you quit sticking your hand in the table saw? There you go. Jeff, appreciate the call. See, that's a great conspiracy theory Thursday call. Now we'll go on to news at KMED and KMED, HD1, Eagle Point, Medford, KBXG, Grants Pass.
