It's 8 after 8 here. We're going to talk with Jackson County Commissioner Colleen Roberts, big poker tournament going on tomorrow. And, hey, that's a great way to spend some time this weekend for sure. We'll tell you more about that here in just a moment.

I wanted to give a note here to Cliff. Cliff writes me this morning, Bill at Billmyers Show. and says, hey, Bill, Mount Comfort, Peru coffee, now $31 for a two-and-a-half-pound bag. It's actually a two-and-a-half-pound bag. Prices are dropping. Yeah, I was talking about that early this morning with the Starbucks closure and then mentioning the Brazil coffee tariffs at 50%, which were imposed end of July. And that has been reverberating through the markets, and it's quite interesting. And I was wondering, why it's my Peru coffee so expensive?

It went up to $40, $41 a bag. And so it appears that maybe the coffee market is already like an instant shock to the system and might be rebalancing a little bit. And now we have a couple of Congress critters bipartisan that are looking at introducing a bill to remove all tariffs from coffee because as they're saying, hey, we're not really growing much of it here. Yeah, there's some in Southern California. and there is some also in Kona, a very good coffee, by the way, but it's sort of a niche market. 30%, about a third of our coffee comes from Brazil. And that has just caused all sorts of challenges up and down the coffee food chain, as it were. So we'll have that.

Hey, Cliff, I appreciate the tip on that because that's a little bit of relief. Of course, I was thinking a couple of years ago, I was paying $15 for a bag, but I digress, all right? but that's greater inflationary pressures in general. Hey, I got to have my, you know, my snooty coffee. I like my snooty coffee. I do. Even if I am drinking the Portland Roasters, Portland Roasters right now, Portland Roasters with essence of homeless sweat, I think, is built into it.

What can I say? This hour of the Bill Myers Show is sponsored by Fontana Roofing. For roofing gutters and sheet metal services, visit Fontana Roofing Services. Just how clean is your water?

Jackson County Republican Party Vice Chair and also current County Commissioner Colleen Roberts joins the show.

Colleen, welcome. How are you doing this morning? Good morning. I am great. Thank you. I have a copy. Yeah. What was that now?

I had some coffee. Oh, you had some coffee? Was it snooty coffee like mine or non- snooty? No, it's travel coffee. It just keeps you going. Oh, yeah, travel coffee is definitely not snooty. Of course, you've had coffee at my house. You know you like that we do good coffee.

I love your coffee at your house. All right, see, there we are. We agree on this. Fortunately, the price is coming down, so I'm not going to have to sell a kidney to replace the bag, okay? But it'd be worth it. Yeah. Well, you know, I think twice. It's like, well, I have two kidneys, you know, can I do that one?

But, hey, I wanted to make sure that we give you a nice blast for some fun going on tomorrow. And this is the Texas Holden Poker Tournament, and it's tomorrow. And this is going on fundraiser for both the Jackson County Republican Party and also for set free ministries. That's Chad McComers' folks, right, with the tiny homes, right? Yeah, the Joy community. Joy community, pardon me. Yeah. Yeah.

So give us the details. tree restaurant, Sam's Valley, and this is a big deal. You've got a $2,000 final table, and this is going to be a lot of fun. A lot of fun. You're raising money for a great cause, including the Republican Party and helping things out there. But also, you're playing poker, and people who love poker. You play poker, right? Not well. Oh, that's great. The rest of the table, then when you show up, we'll be very happy that you don't play well, okay? That's true. It's a good plug. Besides the card game and just a fellowship, we get Monty out of Triple Trees is cooking up a great dinner. And it comes with the registration.

So you get to come if you haven't got a ticket yet, come on out and get one. At 5 o'clock, dinner is between 530 and 630, and then the cards are dealt at 6.30. Okay. And so now what does a $2,000 final table mean? Is that the final pot? I just don't, I'm not much of a gambler, as you can tell, you know? Well, we are awarding that at the final table, we're going to award the top eight with, we have to give gift cards to get, apparently against the law to give cash with our fundraiser license. Oh, gosh, darn it, we're not, we're not Vegas yet.

Okay. No, we're not, no, we're just fun. Okay. But, yeah, top price. is a gift card for $500, and it goes all the debt way down to the 8th place, which is 100. And Del Rio Vineyards donated a case of wine, so I'm going to put a bottle of wine with each price as well. And it's just, and we got snacks and just there's drinks and better supplied alcohol.

Probably you have to buy yourself, but it's there as well. But it is just going to be, I think I am really looking forward to. I think it's going to be a blast. I hope that you have a great time because the people who are into poker that I know, they are really into poker. I mean, serious. This is like, it's as serious as golfing, you know, when people who are to golfing. And so this is great.

So, 120 bucks to enter and you get the dinner, you get the 20,000 chips and the $2,000 final table. And if you just want to have dinner, you can, 60 bucks for that. And just remember, 60 bucks, you can watch it. And the thing being, though, is that this is a fundraiser. We want to make sure not only is it fun, but it is a fundraiser for the Jackson County Republican Party and set free ministries, right? Correct. Okay. I would love to give a plug.

We have great sponsors that have partnered with us. Can I plug them? Okay. You can abuse my radio station for a little bit. Thank you. I will defer to you, Commissioner. Okay? Thank you very much.

I'm here on my vice chair duty. So, first of all, I know. I'm right. Concrete, um, who's a support and a group called as you rent property management, red robin that's on the corner of Biddle and Jackson Street, um, Snyder Creek development, Stephen Jay's self-repeerure, Futurity First, Retirement Life and Health. By the way, I want to add in here, Steve, Steve Hansi, Skypark Insurance. I know he's on this, right? Yep. My, my insurance agent, hopefully yours, too.

Steve at Sky Park, and Cliff Bend's became one of our sponsors and K-C-I-G-S-E. And it's an industrial complex out in-white city, and I can't even get to tell you what they do. But hopefully, if any of those, you can frequent and support and thank them for their sponsorship would be greatly appreciated. All right. Well, I appreciate that. I'm glad you're able to take a break now. You're on the road right now, if I understand, right?

I am at, we have about every other month, we have an O&C, the Oregon, California Railroad Association meets, and I'm at O&C meeting. Starts at 9 o'clock, so. Okay, well, I don't want to get in the way of that here, but so you'll be back for poker tomorrow night then. I will be back for poker tomorrow, yes. All right, very good. So this is a-in-you. Come, come, if you don't have a ticket, come, and you can pay at the door. we have a way to do a credit card reader or a check, or you can still go on the website,

j-c-o-r.g-O-P, and register electronically with a credit card or a debit card. All right. Very good. So that's all going to stay up there. Well, Colleen, I appreciate you. I know you've got to get back into the, now that I'm going to, do you mind switching your vice chair hat to the commissioner hat for just a moment since you're at the Oregon and the Oregon Railroad meeting there. Do you mind?

I can do that. You know, what I was thinking is unpopular as Oregon, California is to this administration. We just should call us the railroad counties. You know, that wouldn't be a bad idea of the railroad counties, sure. Oregon and California are not in good light with our president. Yeah, well, hopefully that's changing. I'm going to be digging into the administration. I'm going to be talking with the DOJ official this coming Tuesday about the

the immigration or the voter lawsuit that they have filed against the state of Oregon. Interesting times we could be finding ourselves into. But what I want us wondering is that, you know, President Trump's executive order was really about looking at counties like Jackson and Josephine County, all these counties that have had ONC, ONC Lans here, you know, that's checker boards around here, and trying to get these more productive. and is the county hearing much about this yet, or is it still sort of a work in progress? I'm just wondering if there's anything going on with this.

I believe it is definitely a work in progress. I'm a little frustrated with the slowness of the response by the Bureau of Land Management, specifically they are the ones who manage our ONC lands. And I'll find out more today what our association, what advocacy they have, our progress base, see, and have made. Our board has taken initiative in our frustration with the lack of seeing action on our forests. We have actually been in touch and have reached out to the Department of Interior and the administration and how we can help move this along.

It isn't moving along. We're not hearing anything, and that's not good. I would imagine there's a lot of, of course, there's a lot of moving parts to something like this in moving some of these policies forward. I would also imagine that the Trump administration may be finding itself in having to move a few people around. I'm just spitballing here, but I can imagine that you have the administration coming in, but you also have a lot of lifers in the system who may not necessarily be in agreement with that change of policy. And definitely a culture there that has to be changed. That is one of not cutting anything, and we see it in the dead and dying trees that are all over our fore. Yeah, and as soon as someone sues the public land managers, they're happy about this because, well, they're their friends, and then they sue us, and then we agree to settle with you on this, and then you end up funding the NGOs.

It's, yeah, we want to try to break that, that corrupt circle. Well, we've broken the fire circle in Jackson County anyway. I'm so pleased with our coordination efforts with our federal partners on our forest. And we have not had the hundreds of thousands of acres burn for a while. And I'm delighted with that. If we can get management of our lands as responsive, it'll be a win-win. Yep, I would say, duly noted. Duly noted commissioner. All right. And now, I will bid you a due, and you can put on your

vice chair of the Republican Party hat back on and say, hey, go play poker tomorrow night, okay? Yeah, yep, play poker, no smoke in the air, no fires threatening us. We can enjoy the day. All right. Thanks again. Take care, Colleen. Thanks for the time. All right. And once again, J-C-O-R-G-O-P to find out more about this, but the Texas Holden poker tournament tomorrow at Triple Tree. And it sounds like it's just going to be great, great, fun time in the evening.

This is the Bill Myers Show.

It's the Diner 62. Hello world. Hear the song that we're singing. Come on get happy. Oh, my goodness. A whole lot of loving is what we'll be bringing. We'll make you happy. It was this week in 1970.

Carthridge Family premieres on ABC. Who knows? Who knows their Parkridge family? I watched it every week. I don't know if I remember it, but we're going to find out. Hello, V. How are you doing this morning, huh? Oh, good morning, Bill. I'm doing fine. Better if I win. Okay, well, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. This week in 1970, it was the 830 p.m. time slot right after the Brady Bunch. ABC premieres this program that would give screen jams its second TV to pop chart.

smashed the partridge family and they didn't want to just deal with the monkeys they had the monkeys uh monkeys went off the air in 68 so screen gems went to work on this and if the beatles served as the inspiration for the monkeys v it was the real life family act of the cowsills the rain the park and other things and they sang hair and a bunch of other things and that's how they dreamed up the partridge family but the family was not happy when they learned that Shirley Jones and not Barbara Cousill would be playing the part of Shirley Partridge. So anyway, screen jam goes out there and they hire a bunch of non-singing child actors, you know, just kind of like the monkeys at first.

The monkeys actually had more talent. But still then, Laurie, Danny, Chris, and Tracy Partridge and one future teen idol, David Cassidy, who actually could sing for the role of Keith. Now, the question for the win. This is a simple one. What day of the week did the Partridge family premiere? What day of the week? That's all we're looking for.

here, V, it's either Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, or Saturday night. It's one of those. If you were going to pick one, what would it be? I'll just say Thursday for the heck of it. Thursday sounds good, like, you know, must-see TV, like where they, no,

I'm sorry, V. Oh, darn it. After all that. So we're going to go to Kevin in White City. Hello, Kevin in White City. How are you doing? Hello, Bill. We're talking about, we're talking about what. night of the week that the Parkridge family debuted this week in 1970. It's Tuesday, Wednesday,

Friday, or Saturday night. What do you say? Let's try Tuesday. We'll try Tuesday. Why not? No. I'm sorry. We're going to go to the next one here. We go to Tom and Medford. Hello, Tom. It's not Tuesday. It's either Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday night. When did the Parkridge family premiere? And it was right at for the Brady Bunch? I'll guess to Wednesday. Wednesday. Was it Wednesday? No. Oh, they're fallen like flies.

Brian is very happy. He loves it when the first person doesn't get it. He writes these. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello? This Diana. Diana. Is it Wednesday night? I'm fine. Is it Wednesday night or Friday night? What do you say? It's Friday night. It is Friday night. You are right. I babysat all the time, and it was like the Brady, the Brady, the Brady, the partner's family,

2.22, the odd couple and love American stuff. Oh, my gosh, love American style. Yeah. That's me. You got it. Yeah. I'm kind of embarrassed that I still remember those themes. I know.

I can't help myself. I know. We're the same age. So, yeah, I remember all. that. Yeah, it was, actually, it aired Friday night for the first three seasons, Partridge Family, before moving to Saturday nights for its final season. And, however, you know, hits like I think I love you and I woke up and love this morning. We're not actually recorded by the Partridge Family. Partridge Family hits were recorded by, like the wrecking crew, some of the best musicians

in Los Angeles at the time, Hal Blaine was the drummer, other studio musicians there. But David Cassidy, And Shirley Jones did actually sing on most of those songs. So they were, you know, truly talented in their deal. And it launched David Cassidy on a big career as an actual pop singer. Kind of short-lived, but it worked. I interviewed him a few years ago back when I was on, wow, it was more than a few years ago. It was in the late 90s when I was on this radio station then as a rock show at that time.

And it was, he was a, he was a, he was a, prickly interview. It's like he did not like talking about the Partridge family years. It's like one of those guys. He was just kind of a prickly pear cactus, you know, as it were. And I said, hey, rumor has it that you and Susan Day actually had an affair. He hung up on me, you know, at that point. Oh, did you really? Oh, yeah. He hung up. And that was it. And he was playing Vegas at that time. But that's all right. Anyway, R&P, RIP, you know. But I'll tell you what, we're going to send you to Diner 62. Hang on. and we're going to make a winner out of you. Thank you so much. You are very welcome. It is 836.

You know what that means, though? It is now open phone time on the Bill Myers Show. We can wrap it up. Gino, I must have hung up on your call. Get back and anything else in your mind. We can dig into maybe James Comey thing. And also, who else would you like to see indicted? Maybe that's the way we wrap up this morning. It's not just going to be James Comey. Who else would we indict, huh? Tell me what you think? Anything else in the news? I'm Lisa with Kelly's Automotive Service, and I'm on KMED. What a great time. We have open phones on Find Your Phone Friday, and we can noodle around.

You've got something going on this weekend. You want to make sure that people know about. Go ahead. Go ahead and let folks know about it. Something bugging you. Happy about something. You want to see some other people indicted. Just let me know.

7705-633, open phone time. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Good morning, Bell. Francine. Francine, how are you doing here? Are you in conspiracy mode at the moment?

You know, that's a... Yeah, yeah. Okay. A little conspiracy noodling, you know, but yeah. Okay. So, you know, we all remember when our rights president was suggested that he's going to be the next runner, you know, for the Republican nomination and stuff. Yeah, he has probably, being of the vice president, the natural, probably first claim or first dibs on him. Yeah, I mean, you know, and with his, I'm, okay, I'll just get to the point.

I think there's a possibility that Erica Kirk might be his running mate. Erica Kirk. I think that I just have this funny feeling that she's being, you know, put in the limelike, like big, I mean, it's really big, time how they're doing this, you know? I mean, they're just, she's so wonderful, you know, what a wonderful human being she is, blah, blah, blah. Well, she's easy on the eyes, too. Well, yeah, I mean, but at least, you know, she's not, at least she's not going out there and saying swipe right, okay? All right. Exactly. At the funeral. It's a possibility. I, you know, they're, they're going to do something bigger with her at some point

than just turning point. But she's got all this time until the next cycle to become, you know, a household name. I don't see Erica Kirk in that role. You know how I see. I see to me the lock on the nomination. If I were a betting man right now, I don't know what the betting markets are saying right now. But if I were a betting man, I would say it is J.D. with Marco as VP. I, to me, I think that's the safest probably, you know, I think that would...

It's possible, but I think we've got, you know, almost three years here, about three years to see who they're building up the best, who they're going to really make look right. You are right about that. It is early in the game, for sure. Yeah. So let's just keep our eye on it. You know, I mean, it's a possibility. You know, one of the craziest theories, though, that I've seen on Charlie Kirk here recently, though. is that they're claiming that the day, that there are people that are now out there. In fact, I was reading this on Un's Review. And, or UnzReview, Unz.com. And it's a very interesting website.

It is not for the faint of heart. Let me just put it that way, okay? And it is, and by the way, if you love BB Netanyahu, you're, you probably won't like Unz Review, okay? That's right. Just put it like that. I'll just, I just want to be honest where people, people are going if they say what are you doing but anyway they had a writer on there that was

seriously going down the rabbit hole of uh of charlie kirk faked his death and that um and this was something that was done intentionally and that the whole thing everything was fake and of course doing things that uh you know sound absolutely reasonable plausible but uh you know to me uh i can't I can't take my Occam's razor and cut that. There's no way. I've run into this kind of step before, you know, like Epstein's not really dead. You know, they took them to some island and, you know, okay. There's a million of them.

This is what people don't understand. Why would they go through all of the expense and effort to keep somebody alive that they wanted to silence in the first place? Why? Why would they do that? That's a reasonable question. Reasonable question, Francine. thank you for making it. But I know, you know, sometimes my, like I said, my eyebrows start hurting, my teeth start

hurting when I see some of the stuff that is running and being claimed. 7-Eleven or Taco Bell and see if, you know, Elvis is still working. Okay. Now, the one thing I will say before I go to the next call, though, is that where is the autopsy report and where is the chain of custody, the body, and various other things? There are things that were not followed in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk Killman. I can't answer that right now and neither can anybody else

and by the way just like Epstein's body Charlie Kirk was cremated right away see that's what was feeding that that crazy story that I was reading that he's not really dead

but anyway 7705-633 hi this is Bill good morning who's this hi it's Cherry Cherry Cherry you got a review for the weekend where we should be plopping our butts down on the couch and streaming a movie or two?

You've got to play bingo at the Medford Senior Center on Tuesday and Saturday and every second Thursday. Why? Why do I have to play that? Why do I have to play that? It's half the cost. Half the cost is 20 games for about $25. And it is fun, they have snacks, they have a great social life. I love it.

I've been there for years. Okay, now how much violence breaks out of these? I just want to be clear about this because, you know, people are wound tight these days. How violent, how sporty does it get down there at the Medford Senior Club? No, it is happening. It's got casino rules now. Oh. In other words, it's like a casino.

You got security there? Yes, there is, I'm there. Yeah, because have you ever seen anybody at a, you know, I have heard these stories about somebody gets up or stands in the way as they're doing the bingo call and everything else. And people go nuts. I've heard about that kind of stuff, like, you know, fist of cuffs, fist of cuffs from the hooligans. This is mild. It's wonderful. I love the people. They are so wonderful.

And cash prizes. And sometimes it goes up to $400. at the end. And I mean, you know, it's great fun. It's very inexpensive. 20 games for about $25. All right. We'll take that as a suggestion. Thank you very much, Cherry. Delighted to make your acquaintance, as always. Are you ready? Thank you. Cherry, Cherry. We go to line three. Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? This is Minor Dave. Yes, Dave.

I have two things, but I'll start off with the, this is my pet pee Friday. They did a control burn yesterday up by Iron Gate. I took some pictures, and I sent them to you. You have my pub? Yeah, Captain Bill sent that to me also. No, burn. Yeah, Captain Bill sent me to, did it get away from them, or what? What happened?

No, well, it didn't get away from them. It's just idiotically insane during fire season. to have a controlled burn of any sort of any type. What you need is what Jackson County did. Jackson County did their coordinating with the land management people, the Forest Service, and got them on board. And they have this coordination that says, when we are in fire season, no prescribed burns.

And, of course, the prescribed burning type folks are just having hissy fits about that. But we don't have that risk in Jackson County. that in Siskew County in Northern California. I think you can get the county commission there on board? To get five county commissioners to do that, I don't know how you do it. Oh, you got five. Oh, you succumbed to the five county commissioner scam for a small county.

They're called county supervisors, but the same thing. I wanted to say on John Birch Society, John Wayne was up for the role on the FBI stories, you know, and Hoover killed it because he was a John Birch society member. Hoover killed it, you said? No, I said he killed from John Wayne getting that part playing the guy. Oh, because John Wayne was a member of the Birchers, right? Right. My dad talking about it.

My head said he would have been a perfect FBI agent, but John Edgar Hoover was a idiot. Well, you've got to understand that John Birch Society back in the day, like I said, was mercilessly smeared by the, shall we say, polite conservative in D.C. Right. Very badly. Yeah. Thanks for the call, Dave. Good hearing from you, 848. Let me go on here. It is open phones on Find Your Phone Friday. Good morning. Hi, who's this? God, let's have a serious talk. All right, Todd. The monkeys have no talent. What? The monkeys had no talent? No, I didn't say that.

No, I didn't say that. Michael Nesmith actually, Michael Nesmith actually had quite a bit of talent, and I got to tell you, Mickey Dolan's was a great vocalist and actually learned how to drum as time went on, but he didn't know when he first went in there. You remember the nicknames were prefab four back in the day?

Yeah, I met Mickey Dolans had a graphic arts business in Hollywood, so he came to sweet, very nice guy. Oh, yeah. He's the only one left right now, of all of them. Yeah, I know that for a while, you know, they were all there right up until a few years ago. David Jones was a very successful Broadway musical singer in the Oliver thing. And Peter Tork, I don't know why I know this useful information. So Crosby of Crosby Stills in Nash was slated to be in the monkeys, and he said he couldn't do it because he had other obligations. but he recommended Peter Tork because he was such a talented musician.

And like you said, Michael Nesmith went on to produce a lot of music and all like that. Yeah, and it is really fascinating to look back at the history. So I didn't mean no talent. What I meant, though, is that when they were making records in those days, it was the wrecking crew. And I remember a story in which I think it was Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. They're saying, hey, we're going to be recording a song for the Monkees Show. This is like in the early part of it. And so they show up at the recording studios, and they have their guitars.

And they're thinking that they're going to get in there and lay down some tracks. And then they find out, okay, over there is Hal Blaine. And there is the famous female bassist who I forget her name, you know, off the top of my head of the Carol something, you know, the wrecking crew basses, very famous bass player. And they're all in there. They're going, what? Who are these people? They didn't realize how records were being made at that time. You had the wrecking crew, and they were just to be there to sing, you know, and they were very disappointed by that.

They thought that they were going to be a real band, and they figured that out. But they eventually kind of got their independence as time went on, and as the show got more popular, they started demanding more creative control over where the monkeys were going. I think it's quite interesting. And unfortunately, they were so wasted. quite often on the set of the show that they couldn't even produce the TV series. They had a resurgence

though in Japan of all places. Really? But if anybody wants to see before I say goodbye, if anybody wants to see a really cute singing thing is with Davy Jones on the Merv Griffin show, black and white, he looks like 16 years old, but he was

actually a jockey before he was a very small guy. He was a jockey before he sent the music and performances. Thanks for the memories. Hey, thank you very much. Great, great thinking back. I always liked, I think my favorite, my two favorite monkey songs I would have to say is for Pete's sake. That's my all-time favorite monkey song.

For Pete's sake is actually the closing credits. In This Generation. It's actually a great song and you hear the whole song. You'd never hear the whole song when the credits would have rolled on that show in the 60s. Hi, good morning. Who's this? It's Find Your Phone Friday. I'm glad you found yours.

Who's this? Oh, good. It's Lucretia. Ah, Lucretia. There we go. Hang on. I've got to have your music because it's not a day without Lucretia's music. All right. Now, remember, we're trying to lighten up a little bit, but something tells me yours is going to be heavy. Well, Francine started it, and then you opened it up. Okay. Okay.

Oh, is this Charlie Kirk's not really dead? Yeah. Okay. Let's hear it. Okay. Because I read that story to me, it just is totally implausible than nonsense. But that's just me. Well, so far, you know, my friends, it was a former sheriff. There's no way you have a crowd that big and you don't have an ambulance and police there.

That was weird. I did think that was unusual. I must give you that. I must give you that. But, you know, who knows? Maybe they've done other Turning Point USA events like that without medical and ambulance standing by. But that doesn't kill him, though. That doesn't mean that the plan was to kill him.

Yeah, but they totally was well aware of that knew that something like that would really drive the people. He even said something. I can't find the original where I found that. But anyway, some of the other things was that there's no arrival furniture at the hospital, no eBay, ER bay, no gurney, no trauma team on camera, no attending doctor, no nurse, no time of death. It's all silent. Now, the men who signaled before the shot that were doing like signals, or were the one that moved them into the SUV wasn't an ambulance, it was an SUV. Well, remember, there wasn't an ambulance, so they couldn't move them into an ambulance. Yeah, right.

Why isn't there not an ambulance? And they always have died, okay? Minutes missing, then there's no cough. I'm okay, so they cremated them. There's no crime scene. There's no crime scene. In fact, they paved it over. you always block off the crime scene for days until you figure it up.

They literally two days later... I will actually, I will actually concede your point on that because it was not treated like a crime scene, and it is odd. It also could be the fact that, well, maybe procedures just aren't getting followed, Orum's actually pretty small town, you know, when it comes right down to it in Utah. So it might have been, well, you know, you have J.D.,

Vance is there and the J.D. Vance takes the body and everything. Who's going to argue with the vice president? How about that? Well, the other thing, Phil, what are happening? How come you know, it's illegal for the president, the vice president, and the speaker of the house to all be in one place? Because we had some kind of

war or whatever happened. They can't be all in the same place. Because the other one takes over and why were they all there? You know, that was, that was what at the what at the, what at the funeral? Oh, the memorial event. Yeah, yeah. I don't, I can't answer that. I can't answer that, Lucretia.

Lucretia, you have given us many questions. No, no, no, no. I got to go, though. I only have a couple minutes left that I turn into a pumpkin. He's a master builder. Okay, all right. Got to go. All right. Like I said, I'm going to have to give Lucretia her own show after Coast to Coast to A.m. Anyway, hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hello. Hello. Hello.

You're on. Hello. Yes. Hello. That means go. Hi. All right. Hi.

Hey, Bill. Yes. Okay. I can't believe you guys didn't mention during the whole time with the monkeys. Neil Diamond wrote most of their stuff. Oh, it's Bobby Hart. Was it Boyce in Heart, right? No, yeah, Neil Diamond wrote at least five or six of their.

of their song. Yeah, let's see. A little bit me, a little bit you. Also, I'm a believer. I'm a believer yet. But also, Boyce and Heart wrote a lot of their big hits. In fact, I think the last surviving member of Boyce or Heart, I forget who it was, passed away a couple of weeks ago, too, so a lot of talent, a lot of talent in those groups.

Yep. Awesome. Just wanted to bring that up. All right. Glad you did. I love that when I pick up the call. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. And he's go.

Oh, it's 856. Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? Hi, Bill. It's Lynn. Hello, Lynn. How are you this morning?

A pleasure. I'm very well, and I love the monkeys, but that's not why I called. The guy that was supposedly signaling with his hat, which is ridiculous, is Frank Turrick, a Christian apologist. Yep. And they decided to take Charlie in the car because they didn't want to wait for an ambulance. And he tells the whole story on one of the Charlie. Kirk shows. Yeah, and I saw some of that, though, and it makes perfect sense. I don't think there

was any, there would have been no point for waiting for an ambulance, given the, the grievous injuries. They said the medical team told them they did the right thing. It is odd that all those officials were at the memorial service. Someone else brought that up to me. But I want to bring up this movie, Sasha Stone wrote about this. There's a movie called Snake Eyes, I believe, with Nicholas Cage. I saw that. Early 90s. I saw that.

I saw that story about this conspiracy. Please, you're going to wrap it up, even though it's not conspiracy theory Thursday. Tell us about it. It's uncanny. Well, I don't remember all the details, but the name of the murdered person, I think he was the Secretary of Defense, and his last name was Kirkland, and he was murdered on September 10th, and I don't remember all the other pieces, but just a whole lot of common things happened around Charlie's murder that had already been happened in this film. And I'd

recommend get Sasha Stone's article. She's a Hollywood expert got kicked out of Hollywood for telling the truth. I will check that out because it is uncanny. I just briefly touched on that article this morning. So I think I'll post a link to it on the blog, okay? All right? Yeah. Super freaky. Is it predictive programming? Is it just there's something in the air? I don't believe we're living in a simulation. I believe there's a sovereign God, but it is super weird. Yeah, it really had no doubt about that. I appreciate your call. Thank you for that. And we'll have one more. Who is this? Walking? Morning. Morning. Yeah, this is Ranger.

Ranger. Give me a quick one at about 15 or 20. I turned into a pumpkin. And then it's the weekend for me. Okay? Well, Charlie, Charlie Kirk, giving up a good marriage and a good program for being erased from society. I can't imagine it. Yeah, that didn't make sense to me either. But like I said... No, he's dead. Yeah, yeah.

There are a lot of people, a million theories, and we can talk more about that Monday, okay?
