The Bill Myers Show podcast is sponsored by Klauser Drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausurling.com. And I'm happy that deplorable Patrick checked in here on Pebble in Your Shoe Tuesday. Hello, Patrick. How are things? Well, it's pretty wild as how it is. Indeed. I've been watching the YouTube videos about what's going on in Portland

and just two points somewhat related. I think these liberal women just don't mind being raped if it's for a good cause. Well, you know, and I don't like making light of this, but, you know, you start wondering after a while because it's the same kind of look like that we would see over in Switzerland, Sweden. And I remember that here in the United States, we would look at these people holding up the, you know, we love migrants and welcome migrants thing, as if, as if, well, we're just admitting more regular Swedish citizens with the Swedish moral code and with the Swedish behavioral background, right?

And it just, it wasn't what they got. It was horrible what happened over there. Yeah, the other little point that I was wanting to make is when you got these, like, the governor and the mayor saying, oh, we don't. don't need anything. Everything's fine here. Do you keep your troops? You know, if they were genuine, they would say, well,

hey, you know, bring the troops. We don't care. You're just wasting your time and money. But you see, you're right. You're absolutely right. That is the real way it would be done. It's like, okay, you want to bring the National Guard here. Great. There will be nothing for them to do, but, you know, fine. But the fact that they are so

adamant. Oh, adamant about they're not going to come here, it means that they know that there's a problem and they don't want attention being brought to it because they like the status quo, just as it is. They like the chaos. The chaos gives them power. Very good. I'll tell you, Patrick, you get a real American salute for the day, okay? Here we go. I'll take it. All right. And for that, thank you for the call on Pebble in your shoe Tuesday, which continues on

KMED, and KMEDE HD-1 Eagle Point Medford, KVXG grants pass. Fox News next. Get ready for Grange After Hours. Presented by Georgia... It's 11 minutes after 8. Michael Morris joins me here for a few minutes. He's the director of MRC Free Speech America. Michael, I'm glad someone's out there fighting for free speech. Good to have you back on.

Morning. Thank you for me on the program. Really appreciate it. You guys, when I say you guys, I'm saying collectively, MRC, Free Speech America, I ended up putting out an interesting study yesterday, and it all has to do with what the AI chatbots are doing. It's just so funny because Kim Commando was just talking

minute ago in here a report about what creative imaginations that they have sometimes when you ask, when you post some questions. So you ended up posing a question about President Trump. What happened? And it has to do with the deal made yesterday, right? Yeah, absolutely. So look, you know, President Trump has received bipartisan praise for the peace deal that he helped conduct between Israel and Hamas. You know, U.S. Senator John Federman was out there congratulating the president saying this is a historic peace plan that releases all the hostages, now enduring peace in the region as possible, just heaping praise on him.

Yeah, Bill and Hillary Clinton were saying nice words, too. Bill and Hillary Clinton. Yeah, I mean, whoever thought you'd see that day, huh? Absolutely. The anti-free speech cures Starmor is out there doing the same. Benjamin Netanyahu said Donald Trump's the greatest friend, the state of Israel, has ever had in the White House. Yeah, we asked who's responsible for the peace deal. And so you've got all these voices saying, yeah, it's Donald Trump, it's Donald Trump.

But don't tell that to chat GPT or meta-A-I. So chat-GPT is OpenAI's artificial intelligence chatbot, and meta-A-I is meta's artificial-intelligence chat bot. Chat-GPT actually buried that Trump was a key actor with an important role. Instead claiming that no single person was responsible for the piece. deal between Israel and Hamas. Meanwhile, Meta-I also claims something similar, but it went to step further, and it said both Donald Trump and Joe Biden deserved credit for the deal. What did Joe Biden do to make this happen? Do you know? Yeah, it's a great question. So Meta-I, and I'll just read directly from the answer here,

METAIA says both Donald Trump and Joe Biden played significant rules in the negotiations. Trump's initiative aims to end the war in Gaza, while Biden's administration backed Israel's pressure on Hamas and organized a coalition to stop Iran's attack on Israel. But this is just crazy. Joe Biden's not even in office. But maybe META was taking a longer time horizon viewpoint, perhaps. I don't know. Not that I'm trying to defend AI chatbots. Okay? All right. Just kind of wondering if this is what's going on. Well, look, this is the same guy that had to be redirected during Resurrection Day week by the Easter Bunny. Okay, so Joe Biden wasn't doing much of anything.

So the fact that meta-AI spills just about as much ink for Biden as it does Donald Trump, when it's clear from all the leaders across the world that it's Trump that deserved credit for this and not Joe Biden. I mean, insanity is at work here. And look, it's the same sort of nonsense that we see time and time again from AI. It's because they're polling from leftist sources, including legacy media outlets. They get their information from Wikipedia, from Reddit, from Google, from Facebook. They're polling from legacy media outlets, ABC, NBC, CBS, Washington Post, New York Times. And that's why you see this sort of dribble.

Is there a possibility, Michael, that these answers would change with time? I'm just wondering when you have the deal happen on Monday and then the stories are being written on Monday because that's what ends up feeding the chatbots over time. If it takes time for a more balanced picture to perhaps come out over a number of days, is that a possibility? And once again, I'm not trying to defend the chatbot world,

but I'm thinking about what might be reasonably fine explanations for it. Well, and look, it's a good question, and you might think that, and it's possible that on any particular question, the answer might change over time as the news stories evolve over time. Right. But what we're seeing here at the Media Research Center, and we've asked chatbots numerous questions across multiple different issues, is that the AI chatbots actually give resources.

responses that favor the left over the right over and over and over again. So the key issue here is where they're pulling their information from. You know, Wikipedia, I mentioned that they're a primary source for information for these AI chatbots. Wikipedia has an effective blacklist on right-leaning media. So if that's where these AI chatbots are getting their information from, well, it's no surprise then that they're leaning heavily in favor of the left while either censoring information from the right, or just completely biasing results and responses. In other words, it's just an unbalanced diet that's feeding the large language models that is building, you know, the building blocks of all of this.

What? I'm sorry, go ahead. You get a thought. Go ahead. Finish that thought. It's even worse than that. So the same AI chat box, these big tech companies that have these artificial intelligence systems, what they're doing is they're actually contracting overwhelmingly with leftist sources as well.

Open AI actually leads the way with that with some 50-some-odd contracts with leftist legacy media outlets, and the others have contracts as well with leftist sources. And so the idea here, and the Atlantic kind of looks the cat out of the bag, is these legacy outlets are hoping, and it may well be that the AI chat outs are preferencing the source. sources that they have contracts with. And that's a huge problem. If they're cornering or, you know, putting a hedge on the market, and they're disproportionately favoring leftist news. So you have a situation where everything is CNN, you know, the standard usual suspects, MSNBC, and you'll never see them, will you ever see them source a Breitbart, let's say,

or will you see them source a, you know, a revolver.com news, or, you know, those are considered what, just be on the pale, right? Never even feeding the beast, as it were, huh? Is that what we're looking at? Look, I think that's right. And, you know, I've not, to this point, seen personally, them use Breitbart as a source or Revolver News. Again, I think it goes back to the primary sources they're pulling from. If they're pulling from Wikipedia, which already mentioned has an effective blacklist on right-leading media, if they're pulling from Google...

And by the way, if you are a right-winger and you try to edit your page... you will, you get hazed to no end. I would let you know that, too. That's the, it's always, everything's always edited from the left wing point of view by most of Wikipedia's users. That's the way it works there. Yeah, and the co-founder Larry Singer has even said much, but it's not just Wikipedia. If it's pulling from Google as well, the Media Research Center has been on Google since,

you know, the 22 midterms. Google biases results in its searches. And if AI chatbots are going to Google search to poll information, the first page of results overwhelmingly favors leftist media outlets and leftist sources time and time again as well. You can find tons of information on that on the MRC Free Speech America's website. All right. I appreciate that. Michael, the one thing I was kind of wondering about, don't you find it interesting that we're supposed to all be laying down and building the AI God, right? And we're supposed to be happy about our power bills going up in Oregon as we end up sharing the Luminum.

power with the data farms that will be powering AI, and then it will be used just to feed us a soup of mostly left-wing artificial intelligence. Isn't that kind of what you're getting at? Exactly right. And that's why this is so important. Look, 86% of Americans get news from a digital device. That's according to the Pew Research Center. But there's more.

Pew also says AI use is on the rise. Chat-T-T-T usage is actually doubled since 2023, and, one in five U.S. workers use AI in their jobs. So if these AI chatbots are giving us dribble, if they're giving us wrong information, if they're censoring information from the right, this is a huge problem, and it's something that the lawmakers need to look at, it's something the FTC may need to take a look at, and it's something that needs to be remedied if we're going to use these in our day today.

Michael Morris is the director of MRC Free Speech America. the article, which I'm linking to you today, is excellent. Chat-G-T-Barries while meta-A-I downplays Trump's key role in Israel, Hamas, P, Stee, and then when you know that we're getting fibbed at about that, Michael, you can't help and wonder what else are we being fibbed about, right? Yeah, it's a good question. Look, we've done other research on this as well. We asked about the government shutdown, okay?

we asked about 2013, six AAA chatbots, all six said in 2013 it was a Republicans' fault. And look, that's fine. You know, Senator Ted Cruz kind of led the charge there battling against Obamacare. And I guess rightfully so, the chatbots got it right. Good for them. 2013, sure, blame it on the Republicans. But then we asked about the current government shutdown. While Obamacare has reared its head again, this time, it's the Democrats shutting down the government.

And guess what? Well, three of the AI chatbots actually blamed who the Republicans, open AI's chat GPT, meta AI, and even GROC, Elon Musk chatbot, spun the issue with the help of leftist media sources, Wikipedia, NPR, PBS, among them. And then the other three, they actually refused to answer either Republican or Democrat and just kind of punted on the issue. So the AI chat box are more than happy to blame Republicans, even for the current shutdown, which is just outrageous. All right. I appreciate you bringing the story. We'll put that up there and quite a mixed bag on these AI chatpots. Michael Morris, thanks for the work over there at MRC Free Speech America.

Great to have you on. We will have you back, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Have a great day. You too. 822 at KMED, 993KBXG. 7705633.

It's on pebble in your shoe Tuesday. That was a big pebble, huh? can get the truth out of the pesky chatbots, but yet we're supposed to build them all. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Good to have you on. Hey, Bill.

It's your friend, Brad. The pebble in my shoe is we have a crisis of poverty coming down the road like a freight train and nobody's doing anything about it. And which one is it this time? Because there are so many. Okay, well, let me put it this way. It's a target-rich environment. Okay. It is.

So in 2019, Ben Carson was Secretary of Housing and Urban Urban. development. And he asked for a study to determine the average net worth difference between a homeowner and a renter. I remember this study. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And it ended up being a huge difference, was it not in the net worth of people? Bill, you're absolutely correct. So in 2019, that difference turned out to be the average homeowner was for 200,000 net worth and the average renter, $5,000. The difference was a staggering one. $190,000 for a homeowner versus rent. Now, that in itself would be bad enough, wouldn't it?

I mean, you... Well, yeah, I mean, that's bad enough, but when you think about it that the state of Oregon does not look at home ownership, I think, is necessarily a good. All they're looking is that you have a place to stay. Is that not the state policy? And Bill, and Bill, that's the quiet part that nobody's talking about is, is, you know, this whole idea of affordable housing, it doesn't matter if you can afford to live there

if you're going to be poverty-stricken 20 years later when you have zero equity. And there's no generational wealth that is able to be used and or passed along either. Exactly. But as bad as it was in 2019, the numbers have been updated. And Bill, this is going to, it shocked me. I think it's going to shock you and your listeners as well. As of mid-2020, the difference between homeowners and renters has gone to an almost unbelievable $420,000 difference. So the average homeowner, as of mid-2025, estimated net worth $430,000, a renter, $10,000. So since I went to Oregon Public School, $430,000 minus $10,000 is $420,000. You know, maybe what it comes right down to is that we can say that Oregon's housing policies right now

is essentially benefiting the large aggregators of real estate, such as the black rocks that want to own everything. And this is that like you will own nothing but be happy kind of a deal with the climate-friendly, equitable community downtown Medford that they envision over time. Isn't there a case to be made for that, Brad? You can certainly make the case for that, but the bigger case, and the one that all of us are concerned about is it means that our children and grandchildren and nieces and nephews that are not.

able to afford the to buy the homes that they live in are going to be doomed to future poverty that they will not be able to escape if we don't fix this problem. So we should be actually advocating policies which allow ownable property. You know, you know, home ownership rather than just saying, oh, we have a little stack and pack for you to live in in downtown Medford. Is that kind of where you're coming from? Yeah. If we don't, if we don't fix it. The bottom line bill is this, is that the biggest, the biggest factor in anyone's life that affects their quality of life, their health, and everything else is their economic strength. And this policy, if we continue allowing this to get in any worse, we are literally

manufacturing poverty for tens of thousands of people, and they will have, there will not be an exit path for this poverty. And I would add that, I would agree with that assessment, except I would add to it also. I also believe that one of the reasons the state of Oregon would prefer to not have people owning their homes and having somebody else owning it and then renting it, whether it's affordable, et cetera, et cetera, through various programs,

is that renters are easier to control. Well, I think you can make that case, but whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, I think people love their children, and I think they love their nieces and nephews, And if they really understood, I don't think this is a partisan issue. I think of it. Oh, no, I don't think so either, but I still think that government,

government, I think, it loves the idea of people being renters because, you know, hey, we get everything past. It's a dependency class. It's a dependency class that grows the welfare state ultimately. And I would agree. So what you're talking about is you're talking about radicalized, hardcore leftists, and I would agree with you. All right, got to go here, but I appreciate the call there, brother, Brad. Take care.

Of course, Brad, former executive officer over at the Home Builders. Home Builders Association here, Southern Oregon. Or Basso. It's 828. Hi, KMED. Morning, this is Bill. Who's this? Hey, this is Lauren.

I make a point. Lauren. What's going on? Pepper in my shoe. Yeah. A governor who will not sign a tax. Bill, that none of us want to delay the possibility of having a petition against it. Yes, real American salute for noting this, but, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, and she's going to drag it out to the very bitter end to give signature gatherers as little time as possible. Yeah, last night I spent an hour online with a group called no-taxor.com, and to get and prepare for when we can get petitions. going. They get them going. All right. This is going to be about a probably a month out. I don't even know. We'll have

one month to collect them, I think. All right. Now, I got to... I get that. No taxor.com. All right. Now, the other thing I want to ask you, though, did you want to play the Diner 62 Real American Quiz? I'm not qualified until next week. You are an honest

man. I'm going to give you another real American salute. Just for that. Thank you. Bye. Thank you, Lori. See, Lauren has it marked on the calendar. All right, since Lauren can't play, you can, though. 770-5633-770 KMED.

First, for more information. This is News Talk 1063, KMED. And you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. By the way, that Medicare Advantage Fair is going to start about a half hour from now, okay? So you just head out there for sure. Now then, Diner 62 Real American Quiz. And it has to do with Anita Bryant. Anita Bryant hit in the face with a pie today, October 14, 1977.

You might remember Anita Bryant from all the ads. I'm aboard a thrilling airport arriving at one of Florida's fabulous resorts where people from everywhere are telling us orange juice from Florida isn't just for breakfast anymore. When my grandchildren ask for juice, they mean only orange juice. Nothing's added to the natural goodness of real orange juice. That's right. That's right, Anita, but it wasn't enough to say. Saver. Let me go to V. Hello, V. How you doing this morning? Welcome. Good morning, Bill. Good morning.

Okay, please be a good day today. Okay, well, let's see. Now, Anita Bryant, this is what we're talking about. She was hit in the face with a pie and at an event in Iowa to promote her campaign to roll back anti-discrimination laws protesting LGBTQ folks. Anita Bryant is hit in the face with a pie. She was an American household name before she made headlines for the anti-gay activism. She was the winner of Miss Tulsi in 1957 V. Runner up for Miss America in 1960. And then the big spokesperson for Florida Orange Juice, Bryant appealing to Christian values and motherhood in her campaign, what she called Save Our Children.

She argued that gay rights movement was threatening to undermine Christian families while expressing her fears that gay adults would be abusing or recruiting children. She considered homosexuality to be a deviant and an abomination and therefore dangerous and unworthy of anti-discrimination. But for the win this morning, V, what type of pie was Anita Bryant hit with? This is a big one. Was it A? Lemon meringue.

Was it B? Coconut cream. Was it C. Orange marmalade cream? Was it D. Banana cream or was it E chocolate cream? What do you say? Huh?

And what year was this? 177, October 14th, 1977. Okay. Lemon meringue, coconut cream, orange marmalade cream, banana cream, or chocolate cream? Chocolate cream. Chocolate cream. Yeah, it would look now. It wasn't bad.

V. Thank you for playing, though. Let me go to Tom. Hello, Tom. Welcome. Good morning. Yeah, hi, Tom. So it's not chocolate cream.

Brian hit in the face with a lemon meringue, coconut cream, orange marmalade cream, or banana cream. What say you? I'd say orange. Yeah, you know, I was thinking about that, too, because of the orange commercial. No, I was fooled by that also. Sorry. Let me go to Eric. Hello, Eric.

It's not the orange marmalade, but it's lemon meringue, coconut cream or banana cream. What was Anita Brian hit in the face with, huh? Oh, man. This is a tough one, because I'm pretty sure it was a fruit pie. Uh-huh. Let's go with banana. Let's go with banana. Yeah. You're a way.

By the way, Eric, the funny thing is that she said, at least it was a fruit pie. And then she's exactly like what you said before praying for, now the guy who hit her was named Higgins. Higgins throws the pie into her face. and she said at least it's a fruit pie before praying for Higgins' soul and breaking into tears. Tom Higgins, by the way, not charged with the assault, and that Bryant, he wasn't charged at all. He was detained, and he remained at the venue to answer the media questions. You know, the thing about this, Eric, is that the backlash against her crusade ended up causing all sorts of big protests in various big cities. the gay bar started boycotting orange juice instead of screwdrivers they served Anita

and they were urging patrons to squeeze a fruit for Anita I kind of forgot about this right it's interesting history at the same time she was voted good housekeeping magazine's most admired woman rather for three years running but by 1980 the controversy she lost her job as a spokesperson for the orange juice and her singing career stalled. She divorced her husband. It was kind of the beginning of the end for her career, really, when that happened. But still, interesting American history. So it was a little before my time, but my parents, they sure loved her. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, same thing here. And so I guess she was an early victim of, I guess, of a sort of cancel culture, really,

is what I ended up happening with her. So, excellent story. And you're going to Diners 62, Eric, hang on. And we're going to get you all set up. Okay. An intelligent solution is influenced by timing. This is Randall at Advanced Air. Ethos.com slash Mike. The Bill Myers Show is on. News Talk 1063, KMED.

843, time to Mosey up to the bar here because it's time for open for business. Serice is here from No Wires Now. No Wires Now.com. And it is a 1560, Biddle Road, Sweet Bee. Right by the cigar is cigar cage still. there, Cherise, so we're still there. They're still smoking right out front. Okay, I just want to make sure that nobody had closed them out where the, you know, because the state of Oregon is always unhappy. If somebody's having a good time,

we've got to find something to get rid of it, I think usually. So it's just like, you know. They can't have fun no more. Yeah, you know, someone, if someone's being miserable, Governor Kotech is happy. But, just teasing. But, hey, let's focus on what you got because you help people save money on internet, on cell phone, on, on television options and all sorts of things. Why don't you give us the whole lineup, first off here, what you offer at No Wire? You know, if you're paying too much for TV, Internet, cell phone service, come talk to me. I can give you a free consultation. You can sit down with me. We can go over your bills. I can even print them for you if you want me to. And I'll show you how much money I'm going to save you. If you're, if you've got four

lines a cell phone service through Verizon or U.S. cellular or AT&T, you're paying way too much, you're paying taxes, you're paying hidden fees. What I'm offering you is 30 bucks a line, tax-free, no contract, keep your same phone, same number, and then when you get service from me, I'm going to help you lower your other bills, like your TV bills, your internet bills, things like that. Yeah, I know that I'm going to have to get you to work on mom's bills again. I saw bet and I think right now just for spectrum I think and because I pay the bills

you know for her and it's like 232 32 a month 232 is that reasonable I don't know yeah no that's way too much so here's the new the new world talking about our government stuff I got in trouble for helping people lower their bills so I got fined

$10,000 so what that means is I have to figure out other ways to lower people's bills and now you you actually have to come to my store bill. So when I hope you lower your mom's bill, you've got to come in with your cell phone. We're just going to call from your phone to do it. We're not going to call from mine. So that's how it works.

You've got to come into the store and I'll lower your bills. Okay. So that's the way, was that like an FTC kind of thing? Something like that going on? Yeah, I mean, I've been doing this for over 20 years, you know, and now all of a sudden and they're like, oh, no, you can't help lower people's bills. Bologna, I'm still going to do it. I'm just finding a different way to do it.

and that means just using the customer's phone instead of my phone, because AI tracks everything. Now, they track your number, they track your voice, and so my voice is everywhere. Oh, I see what's going on. I see what's going on. Yeah, I see what's going on. Okay. So is there something where people could still text message your bill to you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, all right. So that's still part of it. But when the time comes to actually do the negotiations to get the bill lowered, you have to use the customer's phone to do it. Yeah, they just have to come in. You know, before I could just do it myself and now you actually just have to come in, which, what's wrong with that? You know, you're going to come in and then that way I'm going to show you how to lower your bills so you can do it yourself next year. Okay. Well, very good. I appreciate that greatly. Sure. Yeah, so your mom's bills, how much was spectrum to something? Yeah, and it went up about

30 or 40 bucks, and I have a feeling that there was just a rate increase. And I know that if she got one, I'm sure that everybody else is dealing with the same sort of stuff. So I can probably get close to cutting that in half for you. So just let me know when you want to come in and I'll do that for you. Okay. Well, see, that way I can buy more worth her candies for her, you know? Yeah. And I probably use the lower yours again here soon, too.

But you see, this is the way this works. And the whole thing is you have to, though, become your client. It's one of those things where you don't do it. There are costs for your business, too. So do keep this in mind, folks. Right. So if you have one line, okay, if it's just a single person, one line, and you want me to do all this work, because I don't make as much money, I just charge 50 bucks. That's it. 50 bucks for my services, and I'll save you thousands of dollars. Now, if you're doing multiple cell phone lines, my services are free. I'll help you lower the bills for free. And you get that one line of cell phone service free for a whole year on the Verizon Network. Now, if you're going in Costco's and your phone doesn't work, you have crappy service. You're on AT&T and T. You've got to get Verizon. and it's the best.

But don't go to the Spectrum store. I guess the last time I was on the air, people went to the Spectrum store. You've got to come to my store. Spectrum is not going to lower your bills. Okay. And that has worked out really well. By the way, I really appreciate that Spectrum Wireless.

It works better than I thought. It was going to work out. And yes, it does work inside Costco in various other places where I had great difficulty. I had difficulty getting a cell phone call out of the radio station, which is not too far from. from Costco. I said, you know, come on, this is a nice phone. I shouldn't have to have, you know, put up with this. And so you work that out, and I appreciate that. Really do. So if you're on U.S. cellular, if you're on AT&T, if you're on T-Mobile, it's not that great here. The towers just aren't as great here. AT&T's towers, Verizon has way more towers here. All right. By the way, I want to ask you, do you have a deal for a dish right now? Because I know you've turned a lot of people on a dish over the years.

Yeah, if you have Spectrum TV or DirecTV, we have the Sunday ticket back and a three-month-free service. So that's a huge, you know, huge deal. I mean, you're going to pay your first month and then get your second, third, fourth month free. If you know you're getting Spectrum or Hunter on your street, call me. Don't call the 1-800 number, please call me. I'll take better care of you. Yeah, well, they were just digging up the street or doing the little, what do they call it, microtrenching by my house just the other day.

Yeah, but you don't want Hunter because I'm giving you the free, you know, the cell phone service. Oh, I know. You know, I'm perfectly happy with what I'm getting right now, but maybe other people would like the Hunter and so you can work them for that too. I'll put you to Hunter all day long if you're not happy with Spectrum. Yeah, your equal opportunity is what you're saying, Charisse, all right? Now, of course, the thing is that, you know, restrictions apply, talk to Cherise and she will give you all the details, but remember that you do have to make these changes through

your own phone. Those are the kind of the federal rules, I guess we have to, that you've got to follow now. Come see me. Come to my store. All right. And I have my dog blue there.

By the way, they weren't talking to people too well in Chicago the other day.

Woman tries to block the ice vehicles from moving forward in order to do their work, and they yanked her out of the car. Here's how it went. Open the car. No. Huh? I have my rights. Uh-uh.

What we're doing? You're under arrest for impeding. You just blocked our vehicle. Turn on. Hey, hey. Yeah, they just dragged her right through the window or the door, just like, boom. Out, out it went. And, yeah, you have your rights, but you do not have the rights to stop the agents from doing their job.

You just don't. But a lot of people kind of misinterpret what a right is. But still, let me go to the phones here. 7705-633. Line 1, you're on. Hi, good morning. Who's this? This is minor, Dave. Dave, what's up?

I got a pamphlet in the mail for a special election in November. It's called Proposition 50. They want to take my representative here, Lamapha's seat in 2026. Oh, this is about redistricting. They want to get rid of what few Republicans are left in California, right? Well, yeah, and it looks like they're targeting Lamapha's seat. Yes. And they would have Lamalfa's seat like going all the way down to like, gosh, like San Francisco, right?

Like a little thin sliver? Well, it shows it dark blue in San Francisco and light blue here, by the way they're going to do it. Uh-huh. So I'm in curious asking people. California that's listening to your program, which I know there's a lot of them, to vote no on Proposition 50. That is a great plan. Thank you, Dave.

I appreciate the call. 770 KMED. Let's go next. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hello. This is Bruce from Rocky Point.

Hi, Bruce. How are you in Rocky Point today, huh? I'm okay. The pebble of my shoe is I listen to you. I guess it's online. We have a U.S. So your little antenna. on our side of our house.

Sure. Anyway, so sometimes it just drops off, by the way, I walk through the house or something like that. And so when I go back on to your show, it sends me to an advertisement or some video game. Oh, yeah. Well, when the stream restarts, then it plays the entry ad again, yeah. And it's pretty frustrating when I listen to one of your host, and I go, oh, I want to get back on and hear this thing. And all of a sudden, I kind of go through the whole thing, listen to the game of the guy going to be swallowed up by the lava or something like that. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I will take note of that and let them know if there's a way that we can limit the entries for the restart if it's coming from the same IP address. I don't know if that's possible or not, okay? But I will. Okay, it's just frustrating because sometimes I miss what your guest is saying. Yeah, you miss the good stuff. Yeah, I get it. Oh, go on, come on, come on, come on. Go get through, okay, I don't want the game.

Okay, just go. Bruce, I appreciate the tip, and we'll see if we can do something to fix the pebble. Okay? Thank you very much. All right. Thank you very much. Maybe we'll do changes to the stream. I don't know.

Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? Hi, Bill. This is Rich. Hi, Rich. So the other day, I hope I misunderstood this. The other day, someone called you and said about doing a recall for Tina Kotech.

Yes. And your reply was frustration as to why to do that? Yes. And I'm just curious as to why. Because there is limited energy and political bandwidth to get something done. To recall Tina Kotech would mean you'd have to convince Portland to recall her because otherwise there aren't enough Republicans and independents to take her out. And if she was taken out, you'd only have another commie to buy us read. in her place who was the current secretary of state it's not exactly like you be cleaning house

unfortunately and it's election year why yeah i i kind of get that part but for just to say no we don't want to complain about her is i mean it's just like when uh they were trying to raise the budget and stuff you we didn't want the republicans to go in but there was no way for the republicans to stop them uh well you actually yeah actually yeah the republicans could have stopped that but you know they chose not to it was it was a fight that they actually had the ability to do something but they would have had to have been united on this one listen i'd love to see tina gone don't get me wrong but uh you know we just have limited time energy and money and bandwidth to be able to promote certain things no right now uh the goal at this point is having to uh to eliminate

the uh tax increase that tina that uh having provided quorum in the recent session ended up getting passed. So we're going to have to fight something that I don't think we had to have fought. But, you know, I'm just saying limited energy, and we need to focus on what is actually obtainable. Politics is the art of the possible, not necessarily the art of the ideal. And I just don't think we have the time and energy to be able to have too many irons in that fire right now to get people's attention. Just my opinion. Okay. I get that and stuff, and it's like you said, it is impossible to do it, but that still doesn't mean we don't put an effort. You know, it's just like saying, well, I'm not going to vote because it doesn't matter.

Yeah, well, I would just think it's better to put effort in things that can actually be successful like eliminating the tax. That's kind of where I, you know, I am. Well, I vote for that too. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. All right. So that was why, Bruce, okay? I appreciate the call.

Okay, we will continue this tomorrow on KMED and KMED HD-1, Eagle Point, Medford, KB. BXG grants pass.
