The Bill Myers Show podcast is sponsored by Klausur drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausurrilling.com. Diana Anderson joins me in studio. And we've talked with her off and on for a number of years because she would put on these, essentially these kind of presentations here in southern Oregon, explaining the land use, the connections with technocracy, eco-fascism, eco-phazism, eco, I don't know, ecotourism, eco-socialism, it's kind of all there.

And what was the name of the book that you wrote a few years ago, here once again? What was that? Who made American schools Marxist training centers. Yeah, and not that we have Marxist training centers at all, right? Oh. Okay. Well, they imported Marxism when Medford Educational Institute back in the 90s invited Soviet-born and bred teachers from the big universities. and they brought them over here in order to fuse Russian education with Oregon school reform.

Now, was that prior to the past collapse or the fake collapse is what Joel Scousin claims it is, you know, the fate collapse of the Soviet Union? Well, this was like 1996, so I'm not sure with that. So it was a little bit later. A little bit later. Yeah, a little bit later. You know, in some ways you would look at the American education system, Diana, and you could be forgiven for thinking that, gee, you know, maybe the Cold War was won by the other side, you know, in some ways. You know, I always thought that when the Berlin Wall came down, it came down westward, you know, it flowed toward the Western civilization.

Yeah. Toward Yarp and toward America, because that's when we started witnessing the fact that liberal, progressive reform in the universities just opened up, wide open. I mean, they were pretty open. You could go online and listen to any of the Marxist rhetoric without having a special number to get in, a special door. Well, why did you tell us what you're going to be doing? Thursday. Thursday, 6 o'clock, you're going to be at the Central Point Library once again. You're doing one of these free events. People can come and you do a presentation and you talk about certain issues. You're trying to get people more educated about, kind of like the agenda

underneath the surface here, which runs so much of Southern Oregon. Well, in addition to kind of reviewing what climate-friendly areas are, aka 15-minute cities or neighborhoods, 20-minute neighborhoods like they are in Portland, I thought I'd review that for people who have missed some of the sessions. And they are, it is a slide presentation because the picture's worth a thousand words. And I do give handouts with a lot of links for people to go and look at the information and judge for themselves, you know, what is, they can add up two and two and put four together. Is it kind of a hard issue to, to continue to expose Is it frustrating at times?

I'm kind of wondering, you know, how's the reception when you go out and do these things? Well, I took the summer off. I know you took the summer off. It's not really difficult now. The difficulty is the fact that with all the information, with all the rhetoric and the literature that is published in order to bring about 15-minute city develop in Europe or 20-minute neighborhoods in Portland, or climate-friendly areas in southern Oregon, it's there for you to look at, read,

there's no restrictions in that part at all. And what you are going to be reading are the restrictions you're going to find in the future. Could you give us an example of some of the restrictions that the climate-friendly, equitable community will end up bringing to the typical Southern Oregonian's life? Well, one of the definitions that the City of Medford gives for climate-friendly area, you know,

is a walkable neighborhood. where you can access your needs or get to your destination, quote, without a car. Okay. Okay. Now, some would say that this is progress, that that is actually a good thing, and that building a city for automobile travel is not the best way of going about. Well, you have to imagine, say you live in Gold Hill or White City, a little bit outside of the Medford, you know, where most of the health care,

facilities are business services and the best grocery stores and that kind of thing so say you have three different places you need to go that day okay imagine waiting in your small town for RV TV

RV TV yeah the bus to come and take you and then you might have to transfer a number of times under a different bus to go three different places across the city of Medford The disadvantage group that was going to come about, if they do this, is the elderly. The elderly giving up their car, because a lot of them are still independent.

In fact, most elderly people, they don't even want to think about the day where they have to give up driving. Oh, giving up the keys is one of the, as someone who's had to do this, you know, in the past. And realizing the day may come for me, giving up the keys is a big one. Right, right. So this almost sounds like this is a mass movement to force the giving up of keys, the climate-friendly, equitable community, giving up the keys to independent transportation. The Department of Land Conservation and Development together, they combined with the Department of Transportation and Oregon to create a growth management program.

And so what they do is Rogue Valley Council governments and any of the other regional type government entities in Oregon they go ahead and they approach cities and do a short-term or long-term contracts with them in order to bring about climate-friendly areas. They offer them a long report. They even designate certain candidates, certain areas that might be possible of future sites for climate-friendly areas.

Then the cities then, they turn around and ask for the grants from the total, from the transportation growth and management program. They apply for the grant money. And at present, I went on their website to see how many grants we could visibly see. And right now for 2025, for southern Oregon. and the only city that is actually showing you their grant application form is the city of Roke River right now. But you can go and actually find the grants that these cities apply for in order to help them do land management. And Rowe Valley Council of Governments, they've got their hands in everything.

They are there to create this ecosystem in a way or eco-socialism. you can call it by many different names. But on their website, they actually do say that they want to link land use and transportation planning. They work in partnership with local governments to create vibrant, livable places in which people can walk, like, take transit or whatever. Yeah, but once again, this is a force feeding of it, though. I don't believe it's necessarily an organic movement, is it? Because I don't see a problem, in essence, with a walkable European-style city is not necessarily for some people the worst way to live. Going back to the 1950s, when they started to create the philosophy behind the Great Reset, in America anyway, and technocracy, they call it organicism.

Organicism, yeah, combining Marxism with nature. So that's where they get the organic part Right, right there So what I'd like to do in my presentations is to show that all the 85 different steps that Vision 2040 wants to take us This is Vision 24 in Medford 2040 in Medford

And it's not just the city of Medford It's for all of Southern Oregon The Department of Land Conservation Development Commission when they wrote Chapter 660, so to speak, and put out all the, you know, the requirements for this type of system, they wanted to say, you know, how you're going to implement all the ordinances that you need to do, that kind of thing.

It's called growth management. So if you trace growth management back, you trace it to Agenda 21. And the reason the Department of Land Conservation Development Commission, they went ahead and kowtowed. They went ahead and decided that they were going to take Governor Kate Brown's word for it. And she came up with a plan, an executive order, in order to mitigate climate change to 2050.

But they came up with the 2040 plan. You can go to Kenya, you can go to European Union, you can go to Chad. You can go to any of those countries over there, and they have a Vision 2040 Agenda, too. They call it Vision 24. Well, the Marxists and the technocracy fans are big fans of that kind of, this is the goal 2030. We have Vision 2040. Right. You know, it's interesting.

You know, when you go online on YouTube and you look at any of the technocracy, videos, especially the ones that want to give you kind of a warning signal, you know, some red flags. They will, they get to, they talk about technocracy in combination with smart city development. So, for instance, in the literature, to develop a smart city and you're reading about noise pollution, not just air pollution, or water pollution and you're talking about noise pollution actually what they're talking about

is speech surveillance that's yeah that's exactly what is so you have to know what their expressions are because they're not into reducing noise pollution

that's not on their agenda they just want to make sure that they can hear you as you're walking up and down the street then in your climate friendly equitable community you know that's so this is this is kind of what you're going to be talking about on Thursday's event here. All right.

I have to ask you. And, you know, politics, of course, is firmly implanted in this. Is President Trump aware of this kind of attack, or is it, is he with the tech pros and the AI influence and all of this focus on the smart city, the we're going to be number one in AI and all the rest of it? I can't help but detect that there could be an issue in which our so-called friends are going to get us even tighter more tightly to these kind of things. Well, I think with all the abuse and the accusations that he went through during his first term, in order to avoid that, he needed to get those people that had a working agenda and they had been doing it for many, many years.

On the stage where they were congratulating him, you saw some of the bend that he had kind of nominated to be on certain canon like Larry Ellison yeah that kind of thing that he wanted on his staff and but right in front of him were all the people from Silicon Valley right you know Silicon Valley um Palantir would be uh is one that that comes up to me you know the one company that seems to be Palantir Palantir um is in nine countries, actually. Palantir has been assigned by President Trump to oversee the military, and he really didn't start that.

Palantir's been in our military development and in the war zones. Yeah, but we're told that essentially the Palantir appears to be the constructor of the social credit system. Yes, yes. And which your data, everything is about your data, your data, your data, your data, your data. They're also into the future of having a digital wallet and whether the digital wallet is going to be based on actual currency that we think of, digital currency, or if it's going to be on energy credits. And, you know, that AI assistance that comes on when you ask a question or you're looking for information on your phone, it'll come up and they give you a list of things. and what I will show people is the original technocracy history and the energy certificate agenda that they had.

Think about it as the early version of the carbon credit, huh? Yes, it is. But you have to understand that there's no labor value in a technocracy because everyone is getting – you're contributing to your computer, your community, you're doing your job where you're not really kind of hired because everybody gets energy credits. They all get this universal basic income, and it could be in the form of energy credits. And one can't help but know with the rise of the AI and the wiping out of white-collar work

they were starting to see in corporate America. if this ends up not being used is one way. Well, in other words, to keep a lid on social contagion and, you know, kind of keep us, you know, fat and happy. And maybe this is, if we could escape, if we can escape universal basic income in any way over the next 10 years, maybe we'll dodge a bullet from this technocratic folks. It could be. But I just noticed that there are strange people in the White House that don't necessarily really please me. it would be whether it's a Biden or the Trump administration you know before uh maybe I'm mistaken I wasn't going to bring this up but I heard you know that project 2025 that was on yeah that was the

heritage foundation the heritage right yeah paper and I if I remember right they were saying well that has nothing to do with Trump's campaign oh well he's implementing everything that's in 2025 oh yeah but it wasn't part of his campaign it wasn't part of the campaign it's true but it doesn't mean he's not going to do it but it was like they didn't want you even look at it and consider it as a possibility. Yeah. I wanted to, I'm sorry to reach out. That's fine.

Diane. I was going to raise this up. I wanted to put it up at the Facebook live camera because here's an old picture of a street in Josephine County that was advertising technocracy back in the, it was promoting technocracy. It was promoting a meeting where you could go to a library in Josephine County to talk about technocracy. And this was in 1943, I believe.

Yeah, seven years after Howard Scott, who founded the technocracy movement, talked about a survey of North America. Technology meets each Monday evening, basement of the Josephine County Public Library. Right. They were talking about it then, and it kind of got knocked out by World War II. You know, World War II sort of knocked it out. But now it's coming back in as we hear it in the Great Reset, the managed society and so much focus on the energy. The reason we didn't hear about it for many decades. was out of Columbia University, for one, they found out that Howard Scott didn't have a sheepskin.

He wasn't an engineer, so they kicked him out, and he formed his old alliance with other people. And I will mention that the grandfather of Ellen Musk was head of the Technocracy Alliance for all of Canada. Yeah, Elon Musk's grandfather. Right, right. It is strange the rise of certain family lineages that are connected with his movement in the high-tech world. I don't look into it very often. I just happen to run across it. But what happened was there was a nice relationship between Hearst, who has had a lot of the newspapers across the country, William Randolph Hearst. and then when Howard Scott and him had an disagreement, a big disagreement, they parted ways. Hurst said to all his newspapers, you cannot use the word technocracy, or you're out.

I'm going to write you off. Yeah, he banned that word from the newspapers. You got to hide it? You got to hide it. Yeah. Yeah. You've been to call it all sorts of things now. Great reset.

Great reset. Reimagining of society, Vision 2040. You could go out the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Yeah, there we go. Fourth Industrial. Yeah. So this is the kind of stuff they're going to be talking about, and Diana's going to put on this presentation Thursday night, 6 o'clock. Yes.

And this is kind of a revisit. You catch up on some of the stuff you've done in the past, like a brief primer, you know, a refresher, course, I guess I would say. And presentation, paperwork you'll be handing out in all sorts of great educating situation. And it's going on right underneath our noses here. in southern Oregon. Yes, it is. All right. This is scary, yeah.

Diana Anderson, I always appreciate you coming in. All right. Thank you for having me again. And you are always welcome here to dive down the rabbit hole. And you don't even have to be here on conspiracy theory Thursday to do it. Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, the main thing is that is there a way we can ameliorated or stop it? Maybe they can talk about that on Thursday night's meeting. 834 at KMED and KBXG. For precision and performance, choose.

This is News Talk 1063, KMED, and you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. Boy, we've talked about a lot of stuff this morning, including what was happening with the autism conversation in the White House yesterday. Thailand and all, all the rest of it, had the doctor on to. I'll get that podcast up sooner rather than later this morning because a lot of people writing me about it saying they wanted to hear it, re-hear it again. By the way, the person I was talking to was Dr. Bowles, Dr. Richard, Bulls, the founder of neuro needs, and he was pediatrician and geneticists who has been doing

deep dives on the autism world himself. He tends to look at it from a mitochondrial dysfunction point of view here. Vicki, you want to the way in on that too. Morning. Yeah, good morning. Just from personal experience, like 37 years of experience, I'm married into a family and all the three boys in this family, the men, are all ADHD. And I think there's some autism in there, too, but back when they were diagnosed with ADHD, of course, they said it was, you know, children, child. Well, they call it answers when I was growing up.

Yeah, they, well, yeah. And they didn't have a lot of information back then. They just said that the kids were psychotic because they, couldn't, you know, calm down or whatever. But I also have a granddaughter who is autistic, and when she was small, she couldn't really communicate. And now that she's gotten bigger and through the school programs that she's been in, I think she's like, I want to, they grow so fast.

Sure. And she's pretty high functioning compared to what she was when she was little. Was there any kind of treatment given to her over the years, or was she just trying to figure it out herself, so to speak? You know what? I don't know that they put her on meds, but the programming in her school was awesome. They really, like, focused on a lot of the problems they have, which is focus and social and behavioral and outbursts and everything. Well, my son is 32 now, and we believe that maybe he's a little autistic, although we've never had him tested for that. But also,

I think a lot of the psychiatrists and the counselors in school are so quick to label these children with 10, 12 different disorders. And, like, for instance, I have a granddaughter that went through some trauma, drama, and when she was younger at home, and she was labeled ADHD, she was labeled psychotic. Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry to rush you, though. I'm a little short on time, though. Can you kind of draw that conclusion out of what your impression of this all was? Well, the point that I was going to make about my granddaughter and the kids nowadays is that they're jumping and wanting to give them all these meds. My granddaughter needed to be in therapy and deal with all the drama, and they just started labeling her. She's not ADHD. She has issues that acting out issues from her childhood.

So I don't think it's always right to diagnose them with something just because some of the behaviors are the same. I think they need to dive into maybe the mental stuff. I know Dr. Bowles would probably be the first to agree with you on this, that the autism spectrum is very complex and doesn't necessarily... somebody who is just can't function at all, and then you have kids that can function, but they're not, as they would in quotations, normal. Yeah. You know, there's also another interesting theory that is connecting parents who are very, very left-brain, very, very logical types.

There are some evidence that is showing that they have a higher propensity of producing children with autism, which I thought was very interesting, very large. logical, very hardcore, you know, left brain high functioning going on. I just thought that was interesting. Something to consider. Thank you for sharing your story there. Let me grab another one here on Peveling Your Shoe Tuesday. Morning.

Who's this? Good morning, Bill. It's Lucretia. Lucretia! Bye. Got to have the song. Otherwise, it's not Peveling Your Shoe Tuesday. What's on your mind, huh?

Well, yesterday you were talking about a magic bullet and just a miraculous this thing that it was just found right in his body? Oh, the Charlie Kirk assassination, the murder of the other week. Yeah. I know they're talking about the miracle that it stayed within his throat. And I'll just give you my opinion as a gun guy. I'm not saying that maybe there was a miracle, but I'm not familiar with a lot of necks that would be stopping and hanging on to a 30-od-six,

from 150 yards away. I'm just saying, but I don't know the whole story at this point. It gives me a little pause. But anyway, what are you thinking? Well, yeah, and G.E. also saved other people from the bullet. They can go that far. But I want to take you back to the founder of the Illuminati. Oh, okay.

Now, you're not going to connect this with Charlie. Please tell me you're not going there. Wait a minute. I just, this covers a lot of stuff, not just his. murder or his situation, okay? This is Adam Wisehop, okay? He was born in something like 1748, okay? And he was Jewish, but he converted to Christianity, the Catholic.

And anyway, what he said, oh, foolish man, what can you not be made to believe? Now, I want to add that to another member. Pike, whose statute was taken down in 2020. It's about to go back up in what square is it downtown in the Judiciary Square by October. It's going to be put back up. And what he said is whenever the people need a hero, we shall supply him. And all these people are talking about this is creating the big division, the race war. He also said, as far as World War III, which he predicted, the Salver Pike, predicted World War I to a T, 50 years before it happened, 70 years before World War II happening, predicted the Third World War will be where both they release just weapons to destroy all Jews and all Arabs.

Okay, I guess, so you're going to have to once again focus on a point here because I'm running out of time, too. Well, the point is that he predicted all that. And so when they're putting his statue back up and they supply a hero to create what he also said, they're going to release the nihilist and the atheist, and you won't even want to live on this earth with what they're going to do. Now, that's interesting, though. So, yeah, and you're claiming then, you're kind of making this connection that Charlie Kirk is the supplied hero. Is that your theory on this one? Yeah, and if you go to your mantra, it was all predicted this would happen.

I mean, they'd have three rows of a house with 47, you know, that's 33. You have, you know, 47, 47, so you have, you know. Okay, see, now you're combining numerology with it, too, and got a few too many weird things in there, but it's interesting to think about Charlie Kirk as a manufactured hero. I hope you're wrong. I hope you're wrong, okay? How about that?

Yeah. Okay, but, you know, where have you seen Pyot Tech next? And why did she hold up the devil sign with Trump at the end? She had the two fingers, the forefinger, and the little finger up. Oh, no! Central Oregon and Pacific is now drowning you out. Yeah, okay, I can't answer that question right now, but I appreciate you're breaking my brain at the moment. I appreciate the call. I always appreciate people who break my brain. So Charlie is a, it's not just a whack job with a furry boyfriend, transgender furry boyfriend.

Okay, anyway. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hey, Bill, it's your friend, Brad. I've got a pebble in my shoe this morning. What's that, Brad? What's that? It is the lack of observational data to support all these things that are being said about anybody the left doesn't like. In other words, like the latest thing that we've experienced the last couple weeks ago, Charlie Kirk, and what the left is saying is, he's a homophobe, he's a xenophobe, he's a hate speech, this, that, and the other. And yet, if you're a reasonable person, and there are literally thousands of hours of video of Charlie Kirk holding forth with all these different events that he's had over the years. It goes back years. I challenge anyone with your own eyes and with your own ears. Go look at these thousands of videos. Pick 100 hours of videos, watch at your convenience, and then tell me on what day, at what time he said anything that you could actually describe as hate speech.

And you can't. You can't find it. And yet, you got these people, well-educated people running around saying he's this, he's at, and the other, based on what? Based on something that some media person said without any factual evidence to back it up. Well, it is kind of a post-truth era, wouldn't you say? That's what we've been living through for quite some time. But, Bill, you're a database person. I mean, if you don't have the data to back it up, you don't say it.

Right? That's just that's just... Well, you know, I have opinion, too. I give opinion. Lots of opinion. I have an opinion about something, but I usually say that. Hey, I'm spitballing on something. My gut on this says this or something like that, but I will not usually state it as a fact per se. Okay? That's exactly right. If it's an opinion, you'll say this is my opinion, but you don't say something as if it were a fact unless you have the factual basis to back it up. And this is what bothers me. Is there's so many people, I was having a conversation with a really good friend of mine yesterday, and it's a local gal that we both know. She's very bright. She's a local attorney.

She's very well known. And the things that she's writing on her Facebook page are just, she's just repeating that other people have said that have no factual basis about Charlie Kirk. This is a standard of evidence that nobody would ever apply to anything else. And yet, just because so-and-so said this about such and such, we're going to believe it and we're going to repeat it to everybody else. That's just wrong. Agreed. I appreciate the call. Brother Brad, 846, and change.

Right now, I wanted to talk with Sherry Whitson from the Salvation Army.

Now, it's not chapter, what is it, what is the actual term, again, that you use for? It's not chapter. They use corps. The Corps. Yes. That's it. I was just thinking, okay, they don't call it chapters. What do they call that? So the core. But Salvation Army in Southern Oregon, though, in actually has some openings for some volunteer positions, right? Absolutely. There is a tremendous need. Last year, we saw an unprecedented growth of people coming in for assistance with over 11,500 people. And that's just right here in our community. And when you have that many people needing help, you need people to help them. And so there's a lot of ways to get involved, whether in our warehouse, through one of our special events, our social service center. When you talk about the warehouse, are you talking about for people getting food ready, or you talk about people that are going through donations for the store?

I mean, what are you talking about? Yeah, for the warehouse, that's donations for the store. Okay. And what a lot of people don't know is that a lot of those items that are donated, we utilize in our social service center to voucher out for clothing for those that are in need or household furnishings. Oh, okay. So I have some wonderful pants or something like.

that I bring them down to you and they go to someone maybe going for a job interview. Yes, absolutely. And then what's not donated right back out is sold and 100% of those proceeds go to helping run our programs. You know, a lot of people, I think, misinterpret Sherry, what goes on with, they'll say, well, why isn't this like super, super, super cheap? It's like, no, the purpose of the Salvation Army is not to provide cheap goods or inexpensive goods, although it does do that. But when you have the store, that store is to raise the money for your social service obligations or your mission. Is that a fair assessment?

Absolutely. Absolutely. That's what it goes for. And so you're doing the greatest good when you're donating to the Salvation Army because no matter what, that item that you donated is going to help somebody. But we need people to come in and help sort all that, go through all that. There's a lot going on there. There is.

Yeah. It's a fun group project, family project, individual. You know, and I would think that you would hope that people would time their donations, like, let's say, this time of year, maybe not a great time for shorts to donate shorts, right? Well, what is so great about the Salvation Army and just being good stewards is like if you donate those shorts, we put them aside, we box them up, and we storm and we say summer on them. Oh, you could. And then we rotate them out.

So that's one of the fun things that volunteer can do. Yeah, because there are some that I don't wear anymore. And I'll go through my closet and I'm looking at this. I'm going, oh, my gosh. You know, it's like, I haven't worn this for years. It's perfectly good. It's a great shape. And then I wonder what I'm going to, you know, do with it.

Oh, but it's summer. It's not summertime anymore. Bring it on down. Okay. We'll take it. We'll handle that sorting along with faithful volunteers. There you go. We'll do that.

So you need help in the warehouse. You need help. Where else do you need the help? In our social service center, again, 11,000 people going through there needing food assistance, eviction prevention assistance. I mean, we're preventing homelessness from occurring and helping. and helping children get food that they need. Yeah, you've got 30 people a day and then walking through, roughly speaking, more than that.

Some days, hundreds will come through. There's, you know, lines of people. So you can, you know, fill up food bags for us. If you want to get more involved, you can help provide assistance to each individual and walk alongside them. There's just all different ways. You can be on the administrative side. Is this also in Josephine and Jackson County, both? Oh, yes. I mean, anywhere there's a Salvation Army, they're in need of volunteers. The Salvation

Army operates on a very lean personnel. They rely heavily on volunteers. Just Jackson County alone, we utilize over 2,000 volunteers. Yeah, it's not the Salvation Army, it's what I've liked about the Salvation Army in the past is that it's not the, you know, your local CEOs at a $1.2 million salary. It's not, it's not that kind of stuff at all. Exactly. Forbes will say, that the Salvation Army is one of the most highest organizations for their stewardship where your dollar goes directly for its purposes of helping people. Okay. How do you get signed up then?

Hey, just give us a call at the Salvation Army. Visit the website, Jackson County. competionarmy.org, and we'll get you signed up. It's pretty quick and easy. And your time, whether it's an hour a week, a couple hours a month, whatever it is that you have to give, we can help you. Sherry, waits in once again

from the Salvation Army, Southern Oregon. Now thank you so much for coming in, okay? Oh, thank you for having us. All right, good job. And good luck at getting some volunteers in there

because nothing happens. Nothing happens without, you know, go, you need volunteers to go through my shorts and things. Oh, absolutely. Thanks. Thanks, Sherry.

Maybe that didn't come out right, but we'll just leave that be, all right. We will then go to the Diner 62 Real American Quiz, 770563, 770 KMED. If you haven't won this in the last 60 days, why don't you win it next? And we have a little bit of Butch Cassidy, kind of like some Robert Redford news, okay, that we're doing, in honor of his passing, all coming up.

All right, 7705-633. Jump on it. This is dot com. Hi, this is Mark from Jay Austin, and I'm on KMED. Diner 62, Real American Quiz. Real American Quiz is always so much fun. Diner 62, of course, you know you're going to get. some darn great food there, okay? Wonderful.

I ended up getting the Diner's 62 burger the other day. It's like, you know, in heaven, I would just hope that there's a little box from Diner's 62 and they deserve me at that point, all right? But let's just jump on. 7705-633-770 KMED. Let me go to the first line. Hi, and good morning. Who's this? Welcome.

Hello. Good morning, Will. Hi, who's this? This is Jerry. Hi, Jerry. See if we can make you a winner here. It was September 23rd today. Bush Cassidy and the Sundance Kid premieres in New York, 1969, stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford,

team of bank robbers in the Old West, premieres in New York City, huge commercial and critical success. Seven Oscar nominations, Best Picture, Best Director, Winning in the category of Best Screenplay, Best Song. That was B.J. Thomas's Bert Backwreck song. Rain drops keep falling on my head. Best score, best cinematography. They loved it, okay? Now, when William Goldman wrote the script, he mentioned Paul Newman was in from the beginning, but finding his co-star took some work.

Goldman had in mind Newman and then perhaps the biggest movie star in the world. Who of this following list was not considered for Robert Redford's role of the Sundance Kid? Was it A, Jack Lemon? Was it B, Steve McQueen? Was it C, Warren Beatty? Was it D, John Wayne, or was it E, Marlon Brando? What do you say? I'm going to go with John Wayne.

You're going to say, but John Wayne? You'd guess it right off the bat. Yes. Yes, John Wayne was not considered for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Instead, an executive once remarked that the idea of a hero like John Wayne don't run away, suggesting that Wayne did not fit the script's focus. on, well, the heroes that were fleeing, okay? Goldman initially liked Jack Lemon for the role

who had done a 1958 Western. But anyway, went through all these other people. Newman's wife, Joanne Woodward, suggested Robert Redford. And he was thought of kind of being a lightweight at that time, but Woodward Newman and director Roy Hill finally all pestered the 20th century Fox bosses until they conceded and casted Redford. So that's how it ended up happening, how Robert Redford came to be, the Sundance Kid.

Well, don't you hang on. We're going to take care of you. Yep, it was a great choice and really got him going in his career for sure. But you hang on here. We'll take care of you. You win the Diner 62 Quiz. We'll have another one coming up. Stephen Westfall Roofing is growing.
