It's 11 after 8. Peter Lumaz joins me.
He's a Republican strategist, Fairfield-based attorney,
immigrated to the United States from Albania.
Graduate of Cardoza, School of Law, represents small businesses and families throughout his legal practice.
Peter, it's a pleasure having you on.
Welcome to the show.
Good morning.
Oh, thank you very much for having me.
Yeah, in which state do you live in, by the way?
Fair for you.
I live in Connecticut.
Okay, Connecticut.
Okay, very good.
Yeah, very good.
Yeah, wanted to talk with you about, of course, what happened with Charlie Kirk.
That's been top of the news, been top of the talk radio world here right now.
And, of course, news this morning that suspect was taken into custody.
And now, at least this is they're pretty sure that they've got this.
and he said he didn't like Kirk and the viewpoints he had.
And, of course, there are probably a lot of people that didn't like Kirk and the viewpoints he had,
but they didn't necessarily pull out the rifle and take somebody out, that kind of thing.
How do you see this as a Republican strategist moving forward to, in the realm of politics?
Because I'm sure part of political violence is that they're hoping that, all right, people will keep their head down and not want to talk.
and yet politically that would probably be not real good right now.
But how do you see it playing out in your view, huh?
It's unfortunate, but I think that that I believe is that the left, actually,
that it's permeated by this culture of violence,
that if they disagree with someone,
instead of having a discussion and debate the ideas,
they are resorting to violence, and this is not good at all.
I grew up in Eastern Europe.
I've seen what socialism and communism and dictatorship
can do to a human being, to a nation.
We cannot allow this to happen in the United States.
I mean, we have the left pretty much promoting chaos and lowlessness in our country right now.
For whatever reasons, they are afraid of reasoning, they are afraid of logic, they are afraid of
someone who has knowledge, they are afraid of the traditional family and tradition itself.
They are afraid of having discussion about biblical views or constitution or Judeo-Christian values
or Americanism, exceptionalism.
And Charlie Kirk was the embodiment of tolerance.
I mean, he allowed anyone and everyone who wanted to speak with him and bring forth different views, have that discussion with a smile on his face.
He's never insulted that he didn't want.
He never promoted violence.
I mean, Charlie Kirk was the embodiment of the discussion that should happen in the United States instead of resort into violence.
And, you know, having him assassinated, I think he's going to energize the younger general.
to the point that has not seen in many years in the United States.
And Charlie Kirk was a threat to the Democrats.
And the reason why he became a threat to them is that he recruited hundreds of thousands,
if not millions of young people, into the Republican Party by having these conversations.
And the Democrat Party believed that they had some sort of, they were entitled to him.
Well, yeah, well, like they had a lock on the youth generation.
And, of course, you know, given public school systems,
And college university systems and the high prevalence of hard left teachers, you can understand them thinking that, hey, we got you.
And, you know, we're guaranteed future political wins period, right?
It's really what you're getting at, Peter.
They thought that they were entitled to it.
And that's why I think there was a combination of three things that made him a target to this, you know, crazy guy who decided to take that action.
I think it was the association with Donald Trump.
the association with the mega movement and his conservative values that he was promoting based on
his biblical beliefs. He was a strong Christian. He had a great family. And there was a threat to
certain people in the Democrat boy. Unfortunately, the Democrats have been taken over by the crazy
left wing, such as Bernie Sanders or Casio Cortez and the guy who's running for mayor in New York City,
right? Not for a lot of where I work, actually. And when I see this failed liberal policies and
socialistic policies coming to the United States and being implemented here, that should
perturb each and every one of us, whether we're conservative, Republicans, Democrats, or
whatever our political affiliations are, because we have seen socialism. I've seen that movie
before, and I don't like the ending of it. Could you tell me, Peter, because you immigrated here
from Albania, what was it, what was the socialism like in your area? How did it play out? How
did it affect politics? And was it still ultimately underpinned by a culture of violence
attached to it if you didn't agree? I mean, what? What happened in your experience?
The way it started in Eastern Europe, including Albania, was that the socialists or the
communists at that time, they were promising equality that everybody's going to be equal.
And at the end, we wound it up with equal misery. What they did, the second thing, was they disarmed
the population, so they couldn't defend themselves. And thank God for the Second Amendment,
and that we have in the United States that the founding fathers made sure that we can defend ourselves
against a tyrannical government, if need be. Then they confiscated the property, and they had
full control of every aspect of our lives, and they started redistributed the property, which was
forced with redistribution. And as this satisfaction group, they started using the government
against the people who disagreed with them, first accusing them of having mental problems, sending
them to mental institutions, and as more disagreements,
became a parent, they sent them to re-education camps, and eventually they instituted political
prisons and concentration camps. When my brothers and I decided to escape Albanian to search for
freedom and opportunity, government agents, they showed up, they wounded up my family, including
my seven siblings that I left behind, my parents included my father, mother, nieces, and nephews,
and they tortured my father to death because he had failed to notify the government that we wanted
to escape. In other words, it was mandated that family,
members had to notify the government if you wanted to leave the country because nobody could
leave. We had borders not to leave the country. We didn't have borders to prevent people from
coming to Albania. Nobody wanted to come there. And when I tell people that my father was willing
to die to sacrifice his life so that my brothers and I can live in freedom, I appreciate what
he did. And many, many fathers out there would do the same thing for their sons and daughters
to make sure that we have that freedom that got given right to live and freedom and liberty. And
we're losing that in the United States. When I hear people that are born and raised in
the United States thinking that socialism works, I have a story for them to share, and many
refugees who come from Eastern Europe would tell you the same thing, whether they come from
China, Cuba, whatever socialist country that they come from. They will tell you the exact same
thing that I'm telling you that we had to stand in line to get a piece of bread. We were told
what to do. We were told what to think. Pretty much we were enslaved by our own government.
The first time I ever felt freedom, it was when I escaped and wound it up in a refugee camp
and what used to be called Yugoslavia at that time, where we were processed by the American authorities,
we were fingerprinted, back on the investigation was conducted, and it took us nine months to come to the United States legally.
And if I were to do it again, I would do it again.
And had they caught us escaped in Albania at that time, they could have killed my brothers and unjust like they killed my father.
So this socialism thing that, Americans think that is something to be glorified, I think that each and every one of them should try to visit one of these countries for a while and live there for a while and see how it feels because the government eventually will become so abusive that if you disagree with them, you will face certain depth.
One thing that we have to understand about socialism, you can vote it in, but eventually you need a bloody revolution to dislodge it.
Yeah, you kind of have to shoot your way out of it, don't you, Peter?
That's essentially where you find yourself.
You know, Peter Lumage, once again, Republican strategist and an attorney from Fairfield, Connecticut,
and immigrated here from Albania.
Peter, I wanted to ask you, you brought up something about how the state in Albania, under socialism,
got to the point where you were investigated, essentially psychologically or psychiatrically investigated for having,
the wrong thinking? Is that what I understand
has happened in your country, your former country?
Is that what happened?
That is correct. It started very early
with the school system that pretty much
the government, the Communist
Party, became everything.
It became more important than your parents,
your family, your God, your church, and everything
else. We were told exactly
what to think, we were told
what to do. We were told what schools to attend. We were told
pretty much what time to get out, what time to go to sleep.
I mean, this was a total and
enslavement of the population by the government, and anyone who disagreed with it, you would be
subjected to only up to the point that you would be executed in public because some, for whatever
reasons, they believe that you were the enemy of the government, the enemy of the people,
because you disagree with your own government. And we cannot allow that to come to the United States
where people are being shot, such as, you know, it happened with Charlie Kirk, just because you
disagree where you have different political, you know, views and then publicly debating them.
And in this case, I mean, Charlie Kirk was not executed by government agents, but we cannot allow
this to be our political future where we start shooting any challenges because we have political
disagreement.
Yeah, well, the reason I asked you, though, about the psychiatric investigations is that, you know,
there is a big focus here in Oregon in all the other schools here, school systems around the
country. Well, we have to identify young people at an early age who have a propensity to violence.
You know, we have all those sort of things. And that sounds good on one hand. And then there's
the other side of it is that I remember what happens when government gets really in bed with
the medical psychiatry industry too. And then we end up, well, government and psychiatrists end up
deciding who is sane and not agreeing with the government ends up being redefined as being
insane in some ways.
Does that give you pause?
Because I know everyone's talking about, oh, we've got to do more about mental health.
Yeah, who decides that mental health?
Has that something you've considered there, given your experience?
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, one of the steps that the socialist governments go through is that eventually do establish
these institutions and pretty much.
subject people who disagree with them to these mental institutions. But it doesn't mean that they
have mental problems. And we've been hearing this in the United States for the past number of
years more than we should. There are people who have mental problems out there. No question about it.
But if we want to enforce the law properly, if someone has been arrested 10, 17, 15 times or whatever,
and you release them, there's the problem that we have. See what happened with that young lady who got
stabbed in the train by this guy who had been arrested and released so many times. And now they are telling us
that he has mental problems. Of course he has mental problems, but the greater problem is here
that we're not enforcing the law properly and push him where he belongs before he causes such a
harm to this family or to this young girl. Having the government decide who has mental problems
when it comes to political views, it is extremely dangerous because anytime that someone would
disagree with the government, he can be subjected to that kind of evaluation and treatment, you know,
be labeled as someone with mental problems because they have by different political views.
We have to be careful, extremely careful with that.
Peter, I really appreciate your take.
Do you have a blog or website?
People can find out more about you.
What would you suggest?
I'd like to find out more.
It's Peterlomage.com.
Lumarge is spelled L-U-M-A-J.
It's one word, Peterlomage.com, and that's the website and all the social media, you know, things are there.
Peter, I really appreciate getting a chance to talk to you.
I've never had the pleasure of talking to you before, and someone suggested that we get together,
and I'm glad they did.
I'm going to find out more about you.
We'll definitely have you back, and someone who actually came from a country that experienced the worst of what socialism and the hard left could bring to you.
Thanks for having been on the show.
Be well.
Thank you very much.
Have a great weekend.

We had all that serious conversation with Peter Lumage there about socialism in the world.
But in this particular case, I know socialism always promises a free lunch.
He has a free lunch.
Chicken every pot will give it to you for free.
Well, I actually will give you a free lunch, but that's through capitalism over at Diner 62.

We'll see.
And it's something that happened in 1982.
A little bit newer, not revolutionary war period time.
In business, change.
You're hearing the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED.
Now Bill wants to hear from you.
541-770-5633.
That's 770 KMED
And it will be open phones for the rest of this half hour
Before we wrap up with the weekend
And right now, though, it is the Diner-62 real American quiz
Diners-62, by the way
Brian just ended up delivering a wonderful
scrambled eggs, chicken fried steak
Oh my gosh
It's going to be happy tummy time
I had to go grab a little bite or two before we did this here
But anyway, you'll find this.
You'll find this out.
They just have an amazing food at Diner, 62.
Half Ham special, by the way, during the morning shows Monday through Friday, 1115.
You can still get that.
I don't know how they can do it at that price, but they do.
Diner 62 on Highway 62 just south of White City.
Let me go to Vicky.
Vicki wants to have a winner in her belt today.
How you doing there, Vicki?
Welcome.
Oh, no.
I'm number one.
I know that you were there.
You're right on the trigger here.
I know.
I need to, like, pull back on the finger for a second and let's try.
Now, this is history.
from September 14th, so this coming Sunday, 1982, Hollywood star, real-life Princess Grace Kelly dies.
And Princess Grace of Monaco, American-born former film star, Grace Kelly, whose movie credits included the country girl in a rear window, she dies, age of 52, because her car plunged off a mountain road near Monte Carlo.
Now, during the height of her Hollywood career in the 1950s, international icon, all right?
She was the daughter of a former model and wealthy industrialist and born November 12th, 1929 in Philadelphia, started acting as a child.
Well, Kelly gave up her acting career after marrying Prince Rainier the 3rd of Monaco, April 18, 1956, huge lavish ceremony in Monaco.
The question for the win this morning, Vicki, is where did Grace Kelly meet the prince?
Where was it?
Yeah?
So, just think about this, was it at A, a casino, was it B, a clothing boutique, was it C, a movie set, was it D, a film festival, or was it E at a mutual friend's birthday party?
It's one of those five, and take a stab.
What do you think for the win at diner 62?
I'm going to say at a dinner party.
At a dinner party, yeah, you're thinking most people, yeah.
No.
I think so. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It means to go to Alan here next. How are you doing this morning, Alan?
Fabulous. I'm going to go with the most obvious, the clothing boutique.
The clothing boutique. The clothing boutique? No. No, it wasn't that either. I'm so sorry. It's a good try, though. Let me go to Kathy. Hello, Kathy. Morning.
Good morning. I think it was at a casino.
You want to think it's casino, Monte Carlo, right?
That's what I thought.
And you know what?
I was wrong, too.
Sorry.
All right.
So here we go.
Hello, Crystal.
How are you doing?
You're at a 50-50 deal right now.
Did they meet at a movie set or a film festival?
How did Grace Kelly meet the Prince?
I'm going to say the film festival.
A film festival.
You know, Crystal, it's a great day for you.
Nope, that's the wrong sound.
This is what I mean.
Yep, you got it.
They met the year before marrying at the Cannes Film Festival, right?
And they went on to have three children.
1982, Grace driving with her youngest daughter, Stephanie,
and she reportedly suffered a stroke and lost control of the car.
That's why she ended the plunging down the...
But still, storybook, romance, that kind of thing.
And, yep, met at a film festival.
They were just all sitting there admiring all the crazy films.
And cons is still a crazy film festival even today.
So, Crystal, we're going to send you to Diner 62.
Hang on.
We're going to take care of business, okay?
Okay, thank you so much.
You're welcome.
And we'll have another one coming up.
From the KMED News Center, here's what's going on.
Deputies in Jackson County arrested his suspected serial burglar.
You're hearing the Bill Myers Show.
on 1063 KMED.
Open phones at 7705633-770KMED.
You know, I'm thinking of Two DogsFabricating.
Two DogsFab.com, of course, on Brian Way,
sponsor of the dad joke of the day.
What are we having to good dad jokes?
It was one that someone told me the other day.
Oh, okay.
Waitress asked me if I wanted one of the box for my leftovers,
and we went three rounds before she knocked me out.
that one Marie I remember Marie ended up sending that off there so now you can go to two dogs fab
com and submit your favorite dad joke and then maybe we get a chance to tell that and I head
over to two dogs fab and we're talking about custom fabricating trailers it's just all great people
and good stuff there two dogs fab on uh Brian way it is uh 837 at kmED anything on your mind uh we're
happy to talk about it has been a lot of it on
Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin has been arrested.
22-year-old kid from Utah.
And yeah, boy, you know, the father ended up being instrumental
in having turned back in.
The alleged, well, the alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old.
And the bullets were marked with, you know, essentially Antifa kind of stuff.
Hey, fascist, catch.
Hey, fascist, catch.
That's what one of the bullets had inscribed on it.
Hey, fascist, catch.
You think that we could get to the point, or maybe we've reached the point.
Now, I mean, we could be seriously declaring Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
Can you go there?
People have talked about this off and on.
It is rather disorganized, not disorganized, but it's decentralized.
We know that.
But it's definitely an organization that seems when it comes to political violence
punches above its weight, its numbers.
7705-633-770 KMED.
We could talk about that, anything else on your mind, too.
Maybe, you know, it doesn't have to be about that.
Maybe we could talk about sports.
Now, you want to talk about sports.
That's great, but I know nothing about sports, really.
So that could be interesting.
Oh, really?
Is that how that works?
Okay, fine.
All right.
Hi, good morning.
This is Bill.
Who's this?
Welcome.
Bill, it's your friend, Brad.
Happy Friday morning to you.
Happy Friday morning, indeed.
How are you, Brad?
Bill, ask me what I'm doing tomorrow.
What are you doing tomorrow, Brad?
I am going to my mother's 100th birthday party tomorrow.
No kidding.
100? 100 years old. She was born in September 1925. And she was born, born and raised on the Klamath River, very near the site of where they just took out the Iron Gate Dam. The Iron Gate Dam was built by the Copco Company, California, Oregon Power Company, brought online in 1964 when she was 39 years old. So when she was a little girl, she used to fish on the
river back before there were any dams on it at all. And that's where she grew up.
Wow. Let me give your mother a real American salute.
Now, if we were in the South, I would be saying, well, bless her heart. Now, the thing is, though,
is that sometimes bless her heart can be also what a Southern woman will say when they're trying
to tell someone to go to hell. But we mean it in the good way, okay? Phyllis Marie Liskey,
married my dad when he got out of the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1946 became Phyllis Marie Bennington.
But I asked Mom, I said, Mom, and her mind is still sharp as attack.
He said, Mom, what do you think of this deal about tearing the dams out?
And she says, oh, she says, it's the dumbest idea anybody could ever come up with.
And the reason she said that is because when she was a little girl, when there were no dams there,
if you got a warm summer and the water warmed up, there would be the horrible smell down the can
of tens of thousands of dollars of fish dying, tens of thousands of fish dying because the
water got too hot, and they couldn't adjust the temperature because there was no water storage.
Well, you have to understand, though, is that now we have magic fish that are able to hop up
in dry, muddy conditions.
You know that now.
And there's special tribal fish.
I don't know, maybe it's special tribal fish that hops into the back of pickup trucks,
you know, a little bit lower in the river.
I'm just saying here, Brad, just having fun with you.
But, yeah. But anyway, I just thought you'd get a kick out of that. Yeah. So in her lifetime, she was 39 years old when they brought the dam online in 1964. And she was 99 years old when they took the dam out last year. So what an interesting, what interesting things she's seen during her lifetime.
Yeah, the destruction of operating good infrastructure, too. Well, that's sad. Well, anyway, happy birthday to your mom, Brad, okay? Appreciate the call. And we'll think about that.
100 years. She's seen a lot.
770-5633, and it's open phones on Find Your Phone Friday.
Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome.
This is Minor Dave.
Hello, Dave.
Yeah, I was watching a bunch of tributes by millennials and actually Gen Z.
This is the equivalent to us to their generation of like John F. Kennedy or Robert Kennedy.
assassinations, or Malcolm X, or any of that, right?
And, well, you know, you see what happened there when John Kennedy was assassinated.
It led us to war with Vietnam that he probably wouldn't have got us involved in.
So, you know, having discussions and talking to people, Charlie was very good at that.
and I think that his generation might be the next greatest generation.
I hope so.
We could use a new greatest generation, don't you think?
Yeah, I think they will be because they, the guy that asked him the question that disagreed with him was actually heartbroken
because he got up here and said, he was a human being.
we had a right to disagree with each other he didn't deserve to be shot yeah so you know that even
affected people who didn't agree with him that came there to uh to debate him yeah appreciate the call
dave i hope you have a good weekend 7705 633 next on find your phone friday hi good morning who's this
hey bill hi hey you mentioned about antipa being a terrorist organization yes absolutely it was five
years ago today that they came to Medford and they tried to stir up down in Medford. It was a group
of about four or five guys. It needs to be taken seriously. They are, they have proven now that
they aren't scared to act out. So I think that should have been done yesterday. You know, it was
on the other side of the coin when Biden was in office, you know, he called us proud boys,
the terrorist group when it's just, it's all bass backwards, for lack of
a better term, but I think that you really hit the nail on the head with that. This is a
terrorist organization and should be thought of as such. And I'm kind of tired of living in this
inversion of reality where up is down and right is wrong, and wrong is right. I'm just done.
It's not a battle of flesh and blood, Bill. It truly isn't. It's a battle of principalities
and powers and rules of darkness, and it's up to the believers to stand in and be the light in
this world that we've been called to be.
All right.
Thank you.
7705-633.
Good morning.
This is Bill.
Hi, who's this?
Hey, Bill's Matt.
Matt.
Good to hear from you.
Are you on your wife's phone again?
You need to stop calling me out.
Well, you see, you know, yesterday you called, and it was a great call because you're
using your wife's call, or wife's phone, rather, and your phone, it's like, no matter
what I could do, I could never make it sound good on the air.
Just never could.
You have good thinking.
Yeah, you have good thinking, you know?
What happened to BroCode, man?
What happened to bro code?
Not supposed to be calling me out for this stuff.
Okay, sorry about that.
Just having fun with you.
I would say two things.
First of all, fantastic interview.
Anytime I hear someone who's come from a country like this guy did and what they went through
and to hear them speak on it so eloquently with such detail, I personally think everybody
who wants socialism, including our politicians, they should be forced to spend two years
in a socialist nation, send them to Venezuela, let them live there for two years.
Now, they'll probably be treated as royalty, but I think that's something we should do.
Two, I've been, man, I've been really thinking hard on this Charlie Kirk murder.
Yeah.
I'm not going to call it an assassination because that elevates it.
It was just murder.
So, I get the feeling.
I don't think this kid knew.
what deep, you know, what he was in.
I think he was just going to kill a guy he didn't like.
It didn't like his words.
And I think after he did it, I think all of a sudden it hit him.
And then I'm sure he's been online and watching.
I don't think he had any idea how close this guy was to so many powerful people.
I don't think he had a damn idea.
Oh, yeah, the whirlwind.
He ended up by reaping the whirlwind, you know, essentially in his world.
Yeah, yeah, that's the old Schumer quote.
But I really don't think.
I think this guy was all of a sudden, he was probably sitting there and just going,
oh, my God, what have I done?
This guy was loved by everybody.
And, you know, the thing is, though, we are assuming that he is the one he hasn't confessed to it.
There's one part of this story, though, that, and I don't want to sound like I'm going off the deep end.
I know that they were talking yesterday about how did he get the gun off the roof and into the woods, right,
where the gun was supposedly found.
And it looks like it was a Mouser, from what I could, you know,
from all accounts it was a Mouser, old Mouser.
Maybe it was a newer Mouser, though, I don't know.
And the thing is, though, I know that Hannity and others were trying to make the case that,
while the reason he was walking with that limp on one of the cameras is that he had the gun down his leg,
that gun, from what I know, is not a breakdown type of,
gun. Are you familiar with that? Just curious. It doesn't have like a detachable stock
or something. But of course, they did find a screw, a screwdriver up there. Maybe he took the gun
apart that way. I don't know. But you see, you know what I'm getting at? That's just one question
because there's the video of him jumping off, jumping off the roof. And so where was the gun?
Well, the video is so far away. I mean, I'm
looking at the sweatshirt, I thought there was one point where the sweatshirt was literally
defining gravity. Like something was stuck in it. Yeah. And he's crap. That's kind of what I
thought and I go, oh, why the sweatshers pick it up? The other thing is... Well, there's probably
a perfectly, well, there's probably a perfectly reasonable explanation for it. But I know there
are a breakdown type of rifles, but I don't think that rifle, the alleged murder weapon, is one of
those types. I could be absolutely wrong about that because I'm not a gun expert, but I know a little
bit about some of this stuff. I'll tell you, I looked at the mugshot. He's my size. He's about
six feet tall. Uh-huh. I take a pretty long gun, stuff it under my arm in my shirt and shove it
down. Maybe he was able to do that. Maybe so. Maybe so. Okay. It looked like he was holding something
to us right. Anyway, all right, Bill, have a good weekend. Okay, yeah. I was saying just an observation on
my part. Now, if he's about six feet tall, maybe that would explain it because I am not
anywhere close to six feet tall. And I know that if I was trying to shove a long gun down my
leg with a 30-inch inseam, it would have been sticking out my shoulder. You know, that's
kind of what I'm looking at, but that's just me. Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this?
Hello. Hello, Bill. This is Glenn and Grove River. Hi, Glenn.
Welcome from Roe Graver. What's on your mind today?
I just want to step back on this a tiny bit.
I mean, I'm not surprised and I'm very saddened about what happened, but I remember the 60s.
And I remember now, and in the 60s, there was a massive shift mainly in the Southboat towards Democrats because of race relations and other things going on.
It was a very violent time.
Now, are you talking about the early 60s, mid-60s?
Because, you know, 1968 is when we always think about, you know, assassination peak that year, RFK, et cetera, et cetera.
What error are you thinking of there, Glenn?
That's what I'm thinking of is the whole transition.
We've been in a transition now going the other way.
I think the left is very inclined to violent rhetoric or mean rhetoric.
Trump attacks people.
They attack whole groups of people in mass verbally.
And I'm just wondering if the, shall we say, the deranged left is taking up their marching orders.
Not unlike what happened in the 60s.
I think there's a power shift.
The black vote, for instance, black men are now starting to vote Republican.
I think the people losing power are panicked and angry.
And I think the message is being received.
And also, what better way you cow people through political violence and under the guise of like, hey, we're going to shut you all up and keep you at home, right?
Yeah, well, in the 60s, there were valid arguments. The arguments today are valid arguments to go back, but progressives don't like regressiveness. And they're almost violently inclined. I don't like Elizabeth Warren, her policies.
But the fact that she would not step back from pressure and blaming everybody but her own statements is it's complete testimony to me that they're losing power and they know it and they're going to get angry.
Glenn, did you hear President Trump this morning talk about the difference between the extreme right, so to speak, and extreme left?
Did you hear that by chance?
No, I didn't. I'm going to have to look that up.
No, would you like to hear it? If you can hang on, I'll play it for you right now.
everybody else can hear it too he said it this morning on on fox news channel i'll tell you something
that's going to get me in trouble but i couldn't care less the radicals on the right
oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime they don't want to see crime worried
about the border they're saying we don't want these people coming in we don't want you burning
our shopping centers we don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street the
radicals on the left are the problem and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically
savvy, although they want
men and women sports, they want
transgender for everyone, they want open
borders. The worst thing that happened
to this country, because I've already solved
inflation, costs it down. Look at the energy
cost. You're going to have $2 gasoline pretty
soon. I've solved
just about every problem. The worst thing that
happened to our country is when we let 25
million people in, many
of which, and I say
80% should not
be in our country. Yeah, that
was President Trump talking about the
difference in violence potential from the political right to the political left, I thought
that was interesting. I just want to make sure you heard that, Glenn, given it kind of spoke
to what you were discussing. Yeah, I mean, I've been sensing this for a while, but I think
it's a generational shift. I think it's occurring. I think people need to keep their calm
heads about it, but I'm steering clear of any big city in the evening and night. All right.
Appreciate the call, Glenn. 7705-633. This is the Bill Meyer show.

See, we can grab another call or two here.
Hi, good morning.
This is Bill.
Who's this?
Hello.
Hello, Bill.
DeFlorable Patrick here.
Good morning.
Morning, D.P.
What's up?
Real quickly.
Yesterday I saw a little clip of these two idiots.
Chuck Schumer was one of them.
And Hakeem Jeffries was the other.
And they're saying, we've got to come together.
Oh, there's too much.
We got to come together.
We've got to come together.
other what they never said was they were sorry that uh that charlie kirk had died or anything
like that i don't think there i don't think there is much i don't think there's much mood right
now on the right patrick in my opinion when i look at it to sit there and say oh yeah yeah we're
going to all dial down our rhetoric because uh you know because it was our fault that that charlie
died, right? And you know, I, but there's kind of all, there's a whole lot of that implication
in many of these so-called apologies coming out of that. When you agree?
Fake apologies is what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah, you know, gee, I'm really, you know,
we're really sorry about Charlie, you know, even though he was just, you know, a fascist piece
of garbage, you know, that kind of thing, kind of left unsaid. You know that part. I'm not much in the
mood to make up over stuff like that. But it's going to be an interesting time, all right?
Appreciate the call there. Thank you. All right. Keep a head on a swivel. That is for sure.

Hans Albuquerque writes me this morning. Bill, the guy with the backpack jumping off the building
doesn't have a long gun, so how did he get into the woods? Not the young guy going down the staircase.
this is silly stuff. Diversion. Kirk felt in the realm of, or dealt rather, in the realm of
indoctrination. He was a force against what Marxism had implanted for decades. He left the
force field of Cloward Piven cracked and leaking out. Hopefully youth are now discussing Montesquieu
and Thomas Payne versus Taylor Swift. They may not even know why, and the subtleties of his
inspirations. May a new lieutenant rise to the array and prove ever stronger upon the power
passed from Charlie Forward.
I appreciate your take.
Thank you for making that.
Carrie writes me, Bill, you saw him
walking with a limp. This is the
murderer because
when he jumped off the roof, he injured
himself. It looked obvious to me. That's what I thought
too. But I know, Hannan and a bunch of other
people in Fox News last night were saying, no,
he was walking with a limp because he had
the gun down his pants. Now, maybe that's the
truth. I'm not aware that
the gun he had was a breakdown. Was it short enough?
Maybe he's tall enough to make that
happen. I don't know, all right? Keith writes, Bill, there is no room on a bullet to write,
hey, fascist, catch. No, it's not the bullet. I misspoke. I was an elegant about that. It would be
writing on the cartridge. On the cartridge, there is room to write that message, and apparently
there were a lot of Antifa hard left-style messages on the various cartridges. This, according to
the governor of Utah in that press conference earlier.
