Starting point is 00:00:00 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 Klausor drilling.com. Three minutes after eight, we'll check Fox News here in just a moment. Scott writes me from Jacksonville, says, Bill, the guest you were interviewing, does not understand that melting ice on water does not increase the height level of the water. A full glass of water with ice in it when the ice melts to water does not spill over the rim of the glass. Also, global warming is a lie to anyone who thinks critically.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Scott, I appreciate your writing here. You are right about ice. The ice melting in the Arctic would not cause any sea rise. However, if you have glaciers melting from land, yeah, that would be causing some sea level. We can sit around there and... But once again, I would dare say we're talking about real estate problems rather than planetary crisis, in my opinion. And global warming, arguing that we have warmed some, but we've been coming out of... an ice age for quite some time and are still coming out of an ice age and let's hope that we
Starting point is 00:01:05 don't get back into an ice age scott and everybody else listening because if you think global warming's tough boy i'll tell you you know i remember uh being in in ohio growing up as as the science teacher mr walrobinstein ends up teaching us about what it happened there in ohio back during the last ice age and we were there by lake erie and and he said you do understand that here, many millions of years ago or whatever it was, maybe not millions, but several tens of thousands of years ago, that there was 100 feet of ice right over us. And that is why Ohio was so flat. It essentially shaved everything down and then retreated.
Starting point is 00:01:47 And then there's the big hole left in the ground and there's Lake Erie. Have a nice day. Yeah. Yeah, we don't want to go there. That is for sure. All right. Fox News is coming up. And then we're going to talk with State Representative Dwayne Yonker, who is out there.
Starting point is 00:02:00 He's been swimming in the swamp, and I just want to find out what he's finding out. Next. Coastal farming ranch, just what the country needs. Everything is on sale. Here, KMED and Grants Pass on 105-9, K290AF, Rogue River, in South Jackson County on 1067 K-294-A-S, Ashland. 12 minutes after 8, live from Mount Vernon. So he's not in the swamp right now, but it is a state representative of Dwayne Yonker and Josephine County.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Dwayne, welcome back, and are you just hanging out? Is it a vacation time in the nation's capital in areas around it, or what's going on with you? I'm doing a little bit of both. I have memes on some days, and some days I will today the designated. touring day of scene, sightseeing, but other than the show today, can we plan that. But, you know, yesterday was a full
Starting point is 00:03:01 day of meetings, Mondays we have meetings, and tomorrow I have meetings. So it's a little bit of both trying to take advantage of both things. You know, my chief of staff here, my wife that works for me all here with me, and we have some other people that are here, but they're doing their own thing when I'm, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:17 we're busy doing political stuff. Oh, okay. What kind of politics? What kind of conversations are going on, or is there kind of like, a, you know, a post-mortem on what happened, pretty much a Democratic wiping of the wipeout on Tuesday, at least the elections that were being conducted on the East Coast. What say you? Yeah, we have not had any means about that stuff. You know, mostly focused on Oregon and helping the federal government, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:45 help hopefully clean up and give it us some of the fraud that we believe is happening in Oregon within Medicaid, SNAP, elections. Title IX, you know, we've had meetings with, you know, oversight committee people and the White House people and DOJ, you know, just a slew of people that were meeting with and discussing things that I've brought up and things they're working on and hopefully we can collaborate and, you know, solve some of the things that I think that are my constituents
Starting point is 00:04:18 and, you know, a lot of Oregonians know that's happening out there. Is there anything that you can share with us without you having to send out a hitman, you know, on me? That, what kind of conversation about cleaning up Oregon? Because I'm even looking here at an article that was in Rogue Valley Times recently here, a state rep, Juncker. And the Oregon Department of Justice in Secretary of State's office, this was released a few days ago and kind of sank out of sight. But the DOJ, Secretary of State, stopped an investigation into three people suspected of voting despite not being U.S. citizens. because an attorney for the state warns that the cases were vulnerable to claims of selective prosecutions. So we're not going to prosecute people who committed election crimes.
Starting point is 00:05:02 And yet this is something that you're talking about trying to clean up Oregon elections. Isn't that right? It seems to kind of like, is that something which is a topic of discussion there? Yes, we had that topic with some White House people yesterday. You know, because they're having the same problems we have. You know, they don't want to release information when we do. records requests and, you know, I thought I was elected to equip the people and, you know, get the information and the answers. And the Cotech administration is stonewalling not only
Starting point is 00:05:33 myself, but the federal administration will be asked for information. So, yeah, that is one of the issues we've spoken about. Medicaid fraud is a huge one. There's, you know, several groups working on that front. Yeah, Medicaid fraud is a big one. You had, I think you had talked with me about this on the show a few weeks back, though, in which what the Cotech administration looked at taking care of somebody on Medicaid as bringing these individuals to strip clubs. I seen you recall that was what we were talking about, right? Wasn't that it? Yeah, you know, it's the patient-centered care kind of a thing.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And, you know, whatever the mind you need, air conditioners in Portland and housing and everything else. I said, now, the Biden administration just gave waivers for everything, and there was no oversight. And I think the people deserve oversight or whether money is being spent. If not, it needs to go back to the people. You know, I'm a thought of less government and more freedom. It's kind of eye-looking things. I think that's how the federal administration wants things, too, is the government needs to scale back the spending. And during the Biden administration, if you put a waiver,
Starting point is 00:06:49 you ask for money you got money and that's not the new administration yeah is that uh you know is that also why our snap benefits i i know that uh we are like the third most dependent state in the entire country on snap benefit money coming in for uh the organ trail card you know the snap benefit food stamp system and you know it's almost like the uh the kotech folks are almost thinking well this is a a wonderful thing and and i would be saying all right first off why do we have to have one out of six people or even sometimes one out of five i guess we're getting pretty close to that on a snap benefits it's not exactly a winning economy is it is that a topic of discussion no yeah no there there there is that is a talk here um you know we just
Starting point is 00:07:34 just this article came out of yesterday or whatever about how the homeless has grown what 61% the last couple years in portland i mean the cotech or the democrats you know they're all about leveraging federal dollars. So when you go in to apply for Medicaid or whatever else, they're going to sign you up for every single thing they can. If you really don't need it, you're going to get it. So, and that's the problem. The other part of it is the verification.
Starting point is 00:08:06 We know they're not verifying everybody. They say, well, the federal government is, well, they've sent message back from the federal government and say, hey, we can't verify who, you know, who this person is. Of course, you can verify them if you demand identification, proper identification, and vet them. I mean, anybody else would? A bank certainly would before they give them a checking account, wouldn't they? I would, but in Oregon, we give everybody a driver's license and everything else. It's blocked so you can time that we have these navigations.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You know, I know for sure, but I would say that they're navigating to them to probably break the law in Oregon. So as a state representative then from the state of Oregon, it sounds to me. like you're there to almost explain how Lucy Goosey the state is, so that hopefully reforms come in from the other side of it. If Oregon won't fix it, someone else is going to have to fix it, to hire up the food chain. Is that kind of the thought process here, Representative Yonker? Yeah. Yeah, so my thought process is if I'm not going to get the cooperation from my own state
Starting point is 00:09:10 government, want to go to the feds and have them help me out, you know, have them help me do the job I should be doing to protect, you know, my constituents. So if this is important in the federal government, it's also important to me and my constituents, I'm going to go to the feds and, you know, Trump administration and sit down with them and see what kind of help I can get. Because I'm not giving any help from the Kotech administration. They don't want to help them. They just want to continue to get more money out.
Starting point is 00:09:37 That's why we're bleeding, and that's why they're, you know, they're frantic because they get all this money from the federal government. If they weren't getting all this money, they wouldn't be up in arms about the budget. Well, Rayfield wouldn't be also suing at the drop of a hat every time because it always seems to be about, no, the money. You have to keep, you are legally required. You must keep sending us the money no matter what. As he pounds his legal fist, you know, on the table, I guess. And I haven't found that anywhere in the Constitution or anything that says the federal government must pay for SNAP or Medicaid or anything.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I just, you know, I'm around the historical everywhere. I haven't found in any monument, you know. Hey, speaking of which, before you take off, because you'll report more when you're back. You'll be coming back in just a few days. We'll be back in town. But since you're at Mount Vernon, and is that part of the National Park Service? Just curious. No.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's not. No, it is not. Okay. It's open. And that's why we can come here. you know we also went to the arts in the National Cemetery it's open to there's a lot of things that are not open but it's actually a really nice kind of visit because there's about 35% less people here normally as they say yeah you don't have the traffic coming through in the in the tourism for that
Starting point is 00:10:57 reason because of the shutdown the reason I asked you though is how do they present Mount Vernon to the public because I know I've talked about this before like when I went to Jefferson's home, Monticello, a number of years ago when I was in D.C. visiting. And, you know, if I didn't hate Whitey by the time I, when I first went into the Jefferson home, I was supposed to hate Whitey by the time I left and hate the fact that I was white and know that I was the reason for all of the nation's problems because of DEI and kind of a woke agenda being pushed through the Parks Department and the Smithsonian, for that matter. And I'm just curious, did they do this with, you know, our founding father here, George Washington?
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, it's funny because my wife just had a – she was talking to a lady. We were right next to where Washington had his slave quarters there, obviously, but what they didn't get to until the end was that he paid his slaves. He paid them. So they weren't, you know, just slave labor and they didn't make any money. I mean, you know, it is a different time in the world, and what she did have, you know, it was kind of a wokenish to the part of it, and then at the end she talked about they did get paid. Yeah, looking at their quarters and everything, I don't think it's as bad as what people, the left wants to make it as.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Because, you know, if you look at our soldiers back at that time, they slept on the ground. yeah it's another way of uh of putting it or uh something to uh to bring up here it has irritated me that we are supposed to view all american history through the prism through the prism of everyone's a victim and all we have to do is criticize the oppressor and we're and i'm just wondering if they had started balancing that out supposedly trump administration was uh working on that but there's a lot of rot i mean i'm not asking for ignoring the warts of American history. No, no. Because we have warts. We all do. We're humans.
Starting point is 00:13:04 We're all humans and we make mistakes and we do things that aren't necessarily right. But you can't judge anybody from 300 years ago or 250 years ago through a modern day prism. And just, well, why didn't they? Yeah, you have to take it back to historical time and what was going under that time and history. And I would say Trump, you know, from the buildings I've been into and talking, and that the history is at the White House and talking to the staff there, there is no DEI, there is no cultural, you know, diversity person in the
Starting point is 00:13:35 in the White House. There's none of this. It's gone. It's totally gone. I was talking to one of the staff, people yesterday remember me. They said, we got rid of every single bit of that. You know, we're here for all people where there is no more dividing people under the DEI stuff. I'm glad to hear that.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I'm glad to hear that. All the building. Well, I'll tell you what, you enjoy your tour. of Mount Vernon and I will talk about more and everything else when you get back and then you could explain maybe more of what you were talking about without me having to be assassinated, okay? We don't want to do that. Okay. No, I appreciate us back on Saturday and hopefully it has been successful in my mind because I think it is important to, you know, my constituents and Oregonians that are not getting some of the answers they want.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Yeah, if the Oregon government won't answer, then we're going to talk about leverage from on top and hopefully we can get more transparency and get a better flow of information, right? Yes. All right. You work for the people. State Representative Dwayne Yonker. I appreciate you
Starting point is 00:14:42 check it in and enjoy your time. Safe flight and hopefully you can get your flight back. I know 10% cut in flights happening here in the next I think, is that going on this weekend? I think is when that starts? I think so. I'll fly back on Saturday. We'll find out if I'm making home.
Starting point is 00:14:58 We'll see. Thanks, Dwayne. Talk to you soon. Yeah, bye. 825 at KMED. It's open phones now for the rest of the hour. And it is Conspiracy Theory Thursday. We bet you with a few conspiracies. What's on your mind? Your quest for driving excellence leads to Mercedes-Benz of Metford.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Celebrate the pinnacle of elegance. And... Good morning. This is News Talk 1063, KMED. And you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. 828. We got time for your calls on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. enjoyable 7705-633-770 KMED from got that conversation with the physicist, 100 years to extinction. May he's thinking more like 12 years to the singularity.
Starting point is 00:15:43 All right, let me go. Minor Dave, you wanted to talk about early this morning I was talking about the inflation and how it has been really rough on people who have not had homes or assets, stock assets. And I was talking about my own experience with real estate around here. And you want to focus on state law. Go ahead. Yeah, Senate Bill 100 restricts where you can build a house outside the urban boundary lines, which then you're limiting supply of homes for people to live in.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And not everybody wants to live in town. But the whole idea, though, is sustainable development means that Minor Dave, you on your piece of land out there in Northern California, you should be living in a stack-and-pack-hap habit trail in Wyrica. You do understand that. Well, the problem is we don't have Senate Bill 100 here. I can build here. I just don't have the money, too.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Oh, okay. Well, that's another problem. And Gavin Newsom is not going to let you keep that money. Okay, point well taken. Repeal SB 100, at least in Oregon. Let me go to Brad. Brad, I both want to have you and Matt back to explain some stuff we were talking about around 630. You just ran out of time.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But take it away. What are you thinking? Yeah. Well, you know, I really appreciated what Rep Yonker was discussing with you about he sees a big reduction in all these nonsense programs, and the impact is in the tens of billions, and I've got a really good example for you, the refugee settlement program. So refugee settlement program, people outside the United States, our government pays to bring them here, get them settled here, and then what's the first thing they do? They begin receiving benefits here in the United States, paid for by you and everybody else that works.
Starting point is 00:17:25 So here's a number for you. How many refugees were settled by the Biden administration? And the answer is 223,000, including 100,000 of those just in the last year that Biden was in office. So 100,000 in the last year he was in office, 223,000, and you can just imagine. So, okay, it's a half million, well, a half million people, a lot of people settled as refugees. Question for you, though, as refugees, do they get sent back at something? point or are they permanent resident status now yeah so so the article that uh this article in bright bart it does not identify whether these people are or are matriculating as citizens or or but i
Starting point is 00:18:09 it just says that the biden administration brought these people in so 223,000 how many is how many is trump bringing in 7500 it's a 94% reduction a great so we're stopping the future bleeding but what do we do about the bleeders that are still, you know, hemorrhaging, you know, benefit money into right now? That's what I get concerned about. I'm just going to believe Tom Holman. I'm going to believe Pam Bonnie and I'm going to believe President Trump when they say they are sending back all the illegal aliens that they can get their hands on with a priority for the criminals first. Okay. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Brad, thanks for the call. Deplorable Patrick is here. Hello, DP. What's on your mind, huh? Good morning. I have a question coming from when the physicist was on. Oh, yeah, Dr. Guys, I just forgot his name. You know, it's like Peter Solomon, yeah, Dr. Solomon.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah. Thank you. So he brought up nuclear power, and you're more well-read than I am. I can tell you, though, that back, I mean, years ago, this was discussed about the problem. let me rearrange how I'm asking this. We don't want another three-mile island. They've learned how to make nuclear plants that are fail-safe, and we don't have that danger.
Starting point is 00:19:35 But we're all playing the same old tapes, though, right? And that's why the state of Oregon is officially against nuclear power. We voted on that a number of years ago. They're against us. They will try to stop anything that would help us. So, but the question I have, this was talked about decades ago that the problem with nuclear power is that you have to cool the thing. So they put these nuclear plants by the ocean where they can get plenty of water to cool it, but then they get thermal pollution. It changes the temperature of the water in the area.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And has that problem ever been solved? I don't know. I do have his email. I'll write him. See if he answers. Okay? Because that's an interesting. I've never had that. I heard anybody talk about it for the last 40 years. All right. Thank you for the call. Let me go to Matt. No, yeah, Matt. Matt, we were talking earlier about asset inflation and price inflation. And I used my own homes as examples of crapshacks that have gone up four times in price when inflation was only really maybe 205% over 40 years, that sort of thing. Do you want to weigh in on that?
Starting point is 00:20:48 and the concern that we have. So, I mean, I am concerned when I look at the mom-dani election yesterday. I look at that as a symptom of people not feeling economically cool. What do you say? Well, the irony is, I mean, look, the left and the right has spent out of control over my entire adulthood, for sure. Yeah, and I think that what's happened in New York yesterday is that we got a bunch of young people voting for, probably Denmark or Norway, but they're going to get Venezuela. They're thinking they're going to get, you know, Denmark or Norway.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Denmark and Norway are very tightly regulated. Their economies, everything, and it's their tiny, tiny, tiny specks on the face of the planet in regards to population. So it's much easier to have a very disciplined approach in regards to managing your economy, much easier and your government for that matter. But in regards to housing, you know, thinking back to when I was a kid, my parents bought a house. It was a house that I mostly grew up in. They paid about $30,000 for it in 1968. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths.
Starting point is 00:22:06 They were eight of us. And it was about, I think it was like 22, 2,400 square foot right in there. So it was a good-sized house on a cul-de-sac, very desirable. And what I noticed growing up, my father was in real estate, most of my growing up years, then my brothers. And so I kind of had a sense of where housing prices were going. So when we got there, there were plenty of homes everywhere. In fact, the house that my parents bought, it was in newer development. You know, our house, I don't know if it was a model home, but it was one of the early homes that was built in that neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:22:41 And so there was plenty of supply, and it was affordable. But what happened is every January, when you'd have the Rose Bowl and all the East Coasters whose real estate was much more expensive, would see the parade and say, why am I living here in freezing during the winter when I could live in California? So if they began to move in, prices began to move up. And then, of course, during the 70s, we had inflation, which didn't help. And that's what it comes down to. If you look at, because I don't want to say that it's all monetary because if you look at what happened to Detroit, when you have the industrial belt, you know, Ohio, Michigan. All that out, yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I had my accountant tell me this. This is way before COVID. She says, you know, Matt, for an investment, you can buy homes in Detroit. She has another one of her clients that's buying these homes for $10 all over Detroit and fixing them up to like a bare minimum and flipping them. them for like $50,000. So, really, but it's still a house, but it's still a house in Detroit. Right. Okay, so, and Detroit's improved then, so things have gotten better.
Starting point is 00:23:53 But, but the point is, so Peter Marici, he's an economist, I email back and forth even once in a while, and he made a comment, he said the problem we have is not just monetary, it's not just supply and demand. you have all these young people that would never live in the house like he grew up in, two-bedroom, one bath, a family of four. He said, they just don't want to live like that. Oh, so that's kind of my, the first house I bought in Medford, which I said arguably would be considered a crapshack by many people, right,
Starting point is 00:24:28 on South Holly Street, which is now a $290,000 home in Southern Oregon, right? and that kids wouldn't live in that smaller home. It was a pretty small home. It was. Yeah. So in regards to inflation for the stuff that people are focused on, the grocery store, I was looking at historical charts, and you can see where corn, you know, way back in the early 1900s, you're trading at 50 cents a bushel.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And what happens is you get these bouts of inflation and food prices go up to a certain level, and then they stay. they need to go back to what it's all sticky and that's what the Trump administration is struggling with right now because we may have a little less inflation overall than we had under Biden but the prices haven't gone down right right well so this is one of the beautiful things about markets and I don't know that people will yes they will people will make adjustments in their lifestyle people will change decisions that they make based upon their living I said this about medical prices. People don't know that you can shop for an x-ray for a broken wrist. People don't, they do shop when it comes to grocery stores and people, because it's close to home and it's one of people's biggest expenses, that you rent or your house payment and probably a car payment.
Starting point is 00:25:54 But there are all kinds of things, different decisions people can make. And you can change the economics because what happens is when people make cheaper decisions, and, you know, I didn't invent this. This has been going on forever. I've heard Walmart actually has kept a cap on inflation for 30 years because you can buy food cheaper there. WinCo is another one that, I mean, it's shocking how much less expensive. The same exact product is at WinCo as opposed to Albertson. Where I see the real battle on groceries, the cost of proteins.
Starting point is 00:26:32 You know, that's true. I mean, the cheap carbary standard processed American diet, yeah, you can get, yeah, you can still get relatively cheap macaroni and cheese, okay? But, and then you have metabolic syndrome, which, and then we're supposed to give you, you know, free GLP drugs to fix that, you know. It's a cycle, Bill. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well. I think you're going to see people making adjustments to their diet. I think you're going to see people saying maybe eggs, the prices of eggs have come down so much. People will say, look, I'll do more egg dishes.
Starting point is 00:27:05 All right, and I hope you're right about it. A lot of stuff going on there. Hey, appreciate the talk as always. I got to get other people on here, too. If you are on hold, I will be right with you. And we're also going to have a diner 62 quiz coming up in about 10 minutes. Don't call for that right now, but we will get to you. But it's open phones.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Conspiracy Theory Thursday have at it. If your garage or overhead shop door need service. This is the Bill Meyer Show on 1063KMED. Call Bill now. 541-770-5-633. That's 770 KMED. Logan, you wanted to way in on something. I don't know if it's about the economy, the vote, or what is it?
Starting point is 00:27:40 What do you say? Well, it's the Mendonni issue. You know, I think it's regarding not the economy, but rather, according to, you know, a CNN pollster, a poll that I guess 30%, 33% of his supporters were Jewish in the largest Jewish city in America. I think that's speaking to some aspects that we need to look at. I don't know. Tucker hasn't been brought up. The canceling of Tucker hasn't been brought up on the show. I haven't heard it anyway.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Well, what canceling of Tucker? Tucker still has his show online. It's his. Well, I mean, are not canceling how he's been thrown under the bus by the right for just questioning the Israel. What's sending so much money to Israel. and, you know, obviously for platforming, Nick Fuentes. Well, we have a political system, which essentially, as Thomas Massey has said, and I know it's an unpleasant truth to have to bring up,
Starting point is 00:28:39 but our Congress has minders from APEC. Yes. The American-Israeli Political Action Committee, and, you know, you... How dare you be an anti-Semite bill? Well, I know. To bring that up, according to some, and this is an issue I have had with the United States system right now that to criticize Israel's actions in some way is somehow conflated to being anti-Semitic when we are as Americans allowed to criticize any country, especially any
Starting point is 00:29:10 country where you're sending money to, okay? I think, hey, Bill, you said it all for me. Thank you for questioning it because, you know, we need to be looking at where our money is going. It's America first. Sorry, not Israel first. It's America first. If you're American, it's America first. All right. But yeah, there are a lot of people that we're not supposed to ask those kind of questions. And there was a lot of people who were going for Trump because of not wanting to get involved in any further wars. And that was part of that too. And like I said, I don't, yeah, it's a, it's a tar baby for sure. Michael is here. Michael, good to have you on. Welcome. Thank you. Yeah, good morning, Bill. You had another abysmal election cycle, off your cycle,
Starting point is 00:29:51 28% in Jackson County to, you know, 16,000 voters out of 66,000, there's a problem here. Well, yeah, the problem is, frankly, the strategizing that everybody knows that if you want to pass something ridiculously expensive or something that, you know, some kind of big project, you always put it in an off, an off-season election. This should never have been a special election, in my opinion. No, I understand that, but the overall election process is dishing. out a third of the registered voters actually vote. So what's going on with the other two thirds? There's no incentive, Bill.
Starting point is 00:30:29 There's no incentive to vote. So let's make an incentive. Let's create an incentive. Something that is not new is there's 21 countries in the world today that are involved in compulsory voting, which means is that if you don't vote, you're charged a tax and if you if you're if you're not voting and you get charged this tax you help pay for the election well that's an incentive you know charge charge 50 dollars or a hundred dollars whatever you want to do to people who don't vote that's fine that's your prerogative if you don't
Starting point is 00:31:08 want to vote yeah i know uh taxing for not voting i don't know a lot of the people who don't vote. Frankly, I'm happy when they don't vote because they're ill-informed and not really paying much attention. But then you get to the point where if you have something like 15-238, it's easy to motivate a small group of well-connected to, you know, to go there and make it happen. An agenda-based process can happen. To me, the simpler thing is that there should be no special elections and that any money issue should be in a general election. And that would take care of the problem without having to tax people who don't vote, don't you think? Well, I think, you know, I think you're right, is that if those big money things would be placed on general, that's every four years, or at least every two years on House of Representatives or Senate.
Starting point is 00:31:58 But let me throw this out to you. If you did, if you actually brought in compulsory voting, there's the second part of that that has to go on the ballot. And that is the but the little circle for none of the above. That gives a person the wrong. right to vote for none of the above and yet in other words to reject to reject the status quo right that's correct yeah and that boat would have to be counted now there was a movie that came back out in the 80s called brewster's millions in which they portrayed none of the above and that that position won the vote i know it's a movie but clearly people who are disenfranchised they don't want to vote for anybody let them have a voice that's an interesting way of looking at on it. Thank you very much. I'll consider that. We'll talk more about that maybe tomorrow. Okay? Thank you. All right. None of the above and mandated voting.
Starting point is 00:32:56 770563. Let me grab another call. Hi. Good morning. Hello. Hey, Bill. Hi, Lucretia. What's up? God, you put me through extreme torture this morning. How? That scientist that you had on. Okay. Science fiction writer. Yeah. That was unbelievable, just lie after BS. Well, I am so sorry that your ears were bleeding. It was, they were, Bill. Okay. And I look at Arthur Clark, or I look at Stephen Hawking's.
Starting point is 00:33:26 We just came from the slime of the earth where nothing, Earth is nothing, you know, all this materialism and all this total BS, and I go back. Well, that is, though, why I brought up the issue of scientism. Remember that? That's why I asked that question. You do know that. I know. You didn't ask them about the transhumanism, a genesis. and this whole plan by the Club of Rome to make global warming.
Starting point is 00:33:45 He's not there to talk about that because he probably doesn't, he probably doesn't read your weirdness, okay? So that's, no, seriously, no, seriously. You know, he's probably reading scientific journals and still thinks that, you know, everything is a, that is a normal world and, you know, believe the science, you know, that kind of thing, or the science is settled, you know, that kind of thing. It's all lives.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Okay. I'm right there with you. Do you have a quick point, though, before I'm just running out of time? Give me a quick one, huh? No, just that. You know, is there nothing we are, we can't be made to believe, you know? It's like we're so dumped down, not only through the diet, but through the vaccines and then the laws. And, you know, you look at California right now, they're going to put a $500,000 fine if you do have hate thought, which, you know, if you didn't, not happy with Israel, you know, that's just hate right there. Well, no, no, if you're not happy with an Israeli, with an Israel government policy,
Starting point is 00:34:41 you're unhappy with an Israel government policy. You're not unhappy with Jews. It's like, let's knock that nonsense off, okay? You know, you can't tar the group and just say, it's just like the United States government does stupid things from time to time, right? And then it's like, is everybody else supposed to take the blame for that? No, it's nonsense.
Starting point is 00:35:04 All right. Thank you, Lucretia. All right, let me grab a couple more. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hello? Bill?
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah. Jerry. How are you? Good. I'll make this quick because I know you're busy. Sure. Anyway, I'll call it a conspiracy of silence. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Although it was pre-internet days, mid-80s, you know, to late mid-80s beginning. Anyway, I heard this from a doctor. He said, I just learned this four or five years ago that back then, he was approached by, I believe, another doctor wanting him to do research on alavera. Okay, aloeira, sure. Alvara, and why was he wanting to do research on the elevator? He really wasn't. At that time, there were homosexual men who had full-blown aid, and we're feeling well enough to go back to work.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Oh, with aloevara, you're saying, huh? Well, yes. Okay. So, once again, once again, if there's a choice between very expensive drugs or a very inexpensive natural potential. cure, we'll make sure that it's always the expensive pharmaceuticals that get the contract, right? Is that it? That's right. Here's what got me.
Starting point is 00:36:46 I remember that time. It was a death sentence. I never heard of anybody surviving other than Magic Johnson who's still alive. Well, you know, maybe when you have your connections that you get the special. Maybe you get the special globalist juice. I don't know. Jerry, that's a great conversation on conspiracy theory Thursday. Thanks for the call.

Okay, very good. Hey, it was today in history, November 6th, 1528, Kathy, that the Spanish explorer Cabezza de Baca lands in Texas. He's a conquistador. He runs aground on a low sandy island off of the coast of Texas, starving, dehydrated, and desperate. He's the first European to set foot on the soil of the future lone state. All sorts of things ended up happening to him. They're captured by one crowd, another tribe ends up getting them.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Native Americans went out of, they're starving, they're out of food, they're out of water. Everyone's dying. Finally, in 1532, four survivors set out to get across the present state of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, only to be captured by the Karen Kawa Indian tribe, where they lived in virtual slavery for two more years. So, how did Kaveza-Dabaka finally win his freedom? And their respect. Was he A, a healer, B, an interpreter, C, a hunter, D, a navigator, or E, a builder?
Starting point is 00:39:18 What do you say? A builder. A builder. He showed him something other than the team. No, that wasn't it. but thank you. Let me go to the other. Kathy. Hello, Kathy. How are you doing? Hi. I'm fine. Thank you. Yeah, this poor guy, starving, desperate, then enslaved by the natives.
Starting point is 00:39:35 How did he finally get released? Was he a healer, an interpreter, a hunter, or a navigator? What do you say? I'll guess Hunter. Hunter, yes. Show him a better. No. It's not that. Okay. We're trying. Here you, another open line. Hi, Peggy. How are you doing this morning? Welcome. Doing great, Bill. All right. So, Juan, what is it, Alvar Nunez, Cabezza de Baca. Was he a healer, interpreter, or a builder? Interpreter.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Interpreter. No, we're getting, oh, no, I'm sorry. I was hoping you're going to get that. Cherry, Cherry, how you doing? Great. A healer or a navigator? DeBaka. How did he get released by the Indians?
Starting point is 00:40:21 A healer. A healer. Yes. Only after Cabezza de Baca had won the respect of the Karen Kawa by becoming a skilled medicine man and diplomat. Did that small ban the people left over after all the death, destruction, starvation, and all the rest, they got let loose. And despite the many hardships experienced by Cabezza de Baca and his men, their stories inspired others to, well, intensify their exploration. So they said, hey, they had such a great time there. slavery and starvation and uh the natives going after them we're going to go back to texas and it's
Starting point is 00:41:01 that's how texas well that's why texas is as crazy as it is today all right all right all right you go to diner 62 hang on
