6:35 Pedro Israel Orta, author of The Broken Whistle: A Deep State Run Amok and executive producer/writer of Deep State Gangsters.
From a counterintelligence perspective, Tim Walz’s China trips and connections present a grave and immediate threat to U.S. National Security. These activities disqualify him from holding a U.S. security clearance or position in the U.S. Government. Why?
U.S. Government employees with security clearances are forbidden from fraternization with Chinese nationals. Travels to China are discouraged and monitored, with some exceptions that can be approved but are highly discouraged. Repeated travels certainly would cause grave security concerns with warnings to stop or lose clearance and employment. Violations of the nonfraternization policy are grounds for termination with loss of clearance.
However, all travel and contact sanctioned, approved, and coordinated for official business differs.
How does this apply to Tim Walz, given his China history? Any U.S. Government employee prospect with a Tim Walz China connection and travel history would be subjected to a very rigorous background investigation, which would certainly lead to non-employment and no security clearance. The risks would be too high.
So, Tim Walz has a profile that would disbar him from a position with the U.S. Government. This means he should not be allowed to be a U.S. Congressman with any access to information that would damage U.S. National Security should that information be of interest to China. Even worse, he is unfit to be the Vice President of the U.S.

Tuesday 10-01-24 Bill Meyer Show Guest Information
(Podcasts on www.BillMeyerShow.com)
6:20 Mike O’Neil www.LandmarkLeagal.org and we talk about the latest election integrity lawsuits:
New Hampshire – Gov. Sununu signs voter ID overhaul, setting stage for likely court challenge (Laconia Daily Sun): Gov. Chris Sununu signed a law Thursday that will require all first-time New Hampshire voters to show a passport, birth certificate or naturalization papers — a major change to election law policy that is likely to invite a court challenge from voting rights groups. Once it takes effect, all first-time registrants will need to show proof of their citizenship and residency. Under the existing rules, would-be voters can sign a legally binding form known as an affidavit, swearing to their eligibility to vote.
Oklahoma – Oklahoma Governor highlights recent voter purge as latest in ongoing election integrity efforts (KOSU): Gov. Kevin Stitt says more than 450,000 Oklahomans have been purged from the state’s voter registry since 2021. … “Voting is our most sacred duty as Americans — and every Oklahoman wants to know their vote is securely cast and properly counted,” Stitt said.
Wyoming – Governor Gordon issues executive order on election integrity (Oil City): Citing the perceived impacts of federal policy, Governor Mark Gordon issued an executive order Thursday aimed at ensuring that no state agency provides non-U.S. citizens with voter registration materials. It also directs those agencies to stand on those principals when dealing with federal agencies and to report any suspected instances of non-resident voting.
Fifth Circuit to Hear Mississippi Mail-In Voting Case – The Fifth Circuit is currently considering a case from the Mississippi Republican party, challenging that state’s mail-in ballot deadline. State law permits absentee ballots, postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted, so long as they are received within five business days from the election and are otherwise in accord with state law. The GOP plaintiffs allege that this is illegal under federal law.
Oral argument ongoing. GOP argues “election” requires limitations on post-election mail vote counting. DNC (and others) argues “election” means the “final collective choice of an officer by qualified electors” (emphasis added). DNC argues that because those votes were legitimately cast, they can be received and tabulated after Election Day.
Arizona Voter Rolls Data Error – Arizona officials discovered a data coding error in the state’s voter registration database, affecting more than 97,000 people. In Arizona, if someone fails to prove U.S. citizenship and provide documentary proof of citizenship status, they cannot vote in state or local elections. The error incorrectly marked many as having proved citizenship status, when it was unclear if they had done so. A GOP state official brought a lawsuit against the state, however a unanimous Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the affected registered voters will be allowed to participate in all elections this fall.
9th Circuit Reinstates Arizona Voter Security Law – The Ninth Circuit issued a ruling permitting Arizona to enforce an election integrity law passed in 2022, which includes measures to clean up voter rolls after a voter moves, to ensure mail-in ballots are sent to a voter’s proper address after moving, and to further penalize delivering a ballot to a non-resident of Arizona. Several voting rights groups brought the original case. The Ninth Circuit remanded it for further proceedings, effectively reinstating the Arizona law, for now.
Nebraska GOP Seek to Change Electoral System to “Winner-Take-All” – Many Republican state officials in Nebraska sought to change the state’s current system for splitting its 5 electoral votes (2 for the statewide winner, and 1 for each of 3 congressional districts won) to a “winner-take-all system” where the statewide winner would receive all of Nebraska’s electoral votes. The push appears to have stalled as of September 24th, as the Governor was unable to convince enough state senators to adopt the change. Nebraska will likely not change its electoral system before the 2024 election. One GOP holdout who blocked Nebraska’s change reiterated that he would not be opposed to considering the change after the 2024 election but remains opposed to a change before the election. GOP effort remains paused, at least until then.
PA Supreme Court to Hear Case on Ballot Curing for Mail-in Ballots -The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will soon hear a case on whether counties must accept provisional ballots from voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected. The rejected ballots lacked an interior secrecy envelope within the mailing envelope. Some counties permit voters who erred to “cure” their votes by casting a provisional ballot on Election Day. The lawsuit comes via state and national Republicans who argue that a patchwork of “ballot curing” procedures across the state is illegal; they seek to prohibit counties from implementing such procedures in the November elections.
GA Election Officials Will Be Required to Hand-count Ballots – Georgia’s State Elections Board recently voted 3-2 to pass a rule requiring all ballots to be hand-counted, ensuring that the number of paper ballots matches the electronic tallies on the computerized voting machines. The rule does not require actual votes to be tallied by hand, only the raw number of ballots. State Democrats have already filed a legal challenge, which will be argued on October 1st.
Several GA Democrats filed formal ethics complaints against 3 GOP members of the State Election Board and launched a lawsuit to force Gov. Kemp (R) to conduct a hearing on the matter. Kemp’s office maintains that the filed charges are not formal and do not trigger the state’s statuatory requirement forcing the Gov.’s action.
Supreme Court Refuses Case Reinstating Jill Stein on NV Ballot – In an unsigned order, the Supreme Court recently denied an application by the Nevada Green Party to reinstate Jill Stein on the Nevada presidential ballot. The Nevada Supreme Court ruled against Stein and the Green Party, citing the use of an incorrect official form. The nation’s highest court, by rejecting the party’s appeal, will bar Stein from the ballot in Nevada.
North Carolina Judge Permits Digital Voter-IDs for College Students, Staff – North Carolina’s State Board of Elections recently approved the use of a digital university ID card as proof of identity under the state’s new Voter-ID law. The Republican National Committee and state party sued the Board, alleging that the state’s Voter-ID law requires a physical card. A state trial court judge rejected the RNC’s arguments for a temporary stay on the Board’s approval. The Republican plaintiffs appealed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals on September 20th.
Wisconsin (Re-)Permits Ballot Drop Boxes – The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently permitted the use of many ballot drop boxes for the 2024 election, overturning a 2022 decision which restricted their use. The conservative 2022 court held that unmonitored and unstaffed drop boxes were illegal. However, the 2024 liberal majority stated that they were allowed, as there was no significant difference between depositing a ballot in a drop box and giving a ballot to a clerk. Therefore, the use of ballot drop boxes was a permissible use of election clerks’ discretion.
Ohio: Only Voters Can Use Ballot Drop Boxes – Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) issued a directive to all Ohio counties to ensure the integrity of ballots deposited in drop boxes throughout the state. Ohio generally prohibits “ballot harvesting”, an election procedure where voters give their absentee ballots to third parties, who then deliver them to election officials. LaRose’s directive says that the voter, and only the voter, may deposit their ballot in a drop box.
Missing Mail Ballots Reported in Boston – Several Boston neighborhoods have reported delays in receiving mail this September. Some have even reported missing mail-in ballots delivered by the U.S. Postal Service. Local leaders are allegedly attempting to hold an emergency meeting on the issue, even though city leaders have limited control over U.S.P.S. In Massachusetts, over 1/3 of votes cast in the 2022 midterm elections were cast via mail. Issues are ongoing. U.S.P.S. claims the delays/missing mail were due to a “minor employee availability issue”. Boston officials are still seeking accountability and answers.
Michigan Reforms Vote Counting, Early Voting, and Election Certification – Michigan has steadily adopted a series of reforms to its electoral procedures since 2020. Localities with more than 5,000 residents may now process mail ballots up to eight days before Election Day, while small localities may begin a day before the election. The state expanded in-person early voting and ballot drop box availability. Michigan also created a permanent absentee voter list and an automatic voter registration process for inmates released from prison. Reforms were not limited to ballot-casting measures, however. Another reform adopted in 2022 stated that the role of state officials in certifying election results was purely “ministerial, clerical, [and] nondiscretionary”.

6:50 BURT KEARNS, author of SHEMP! The Biography of The Three Stooges’ Shemp Howard
ABOUT SHEMP!
The definitive biography of the great Shemp Howard, an original member of the Three Stooges, and one of Hollywood’s most influential actors that Kirkus Reviews calls an “illuminating. reworking of the Stooges mythology” and Patton Oswalt praises as “the only book you will ever need to read about anything. Burn all the other books – there is ONLY SHEMP!”
Shemp Howard not only had one of the most distinctive faces of the twentieth century, but was also one of its most accomplished, influential comic actors and showbiz personalities. Along with his brother Moe and comedy violinist Larry Fine, Shemp was an original member of the comedy team that became known as the Three Stooges before he quit and set off on his own in 1932.
SHEMP! shows how he made an even greater mark in a successful and until now largely unexplored career in more than a hundred movie shorts and features. He appeared in comedies, dramas, mysteries, Westerns, and musicals alongside the biggest stars of the Golden Age, including W.C. Fields, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, William Powell, Lon Chaney, Jr., Myrna Loy, and the team of Abbott & Costello. Author Burt Kearns challenges the “official” version of Three Stooges history that’s been repeated for decades, shattering myths while uncovering the surprising and often troubling facts behind the man’s unlikely story: how the child of Jewish immigrants, supposedly racked by debilitating phobias, could conquer show business; the behind-the-scenes machinations that pushed him to return to the team; and the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.
Through interviews with fans, family members, experts, filmmakers, and celebrities, SHEMP! unearths treasures in Shemp’s solo work, examines the “cult of Shemp” that thrives today, and confirms Shemp Howard’s deserved place in cinematic history.

Dr. Jonathan Newman is a Fellow at the Mises Institute, a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian school of economics, and individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.
In public schools, students learn that FDR’s New Deal and World War II got the US out of the Great Depression. They learn that total government control over an economy has its downsides, but so does pure laissez-faire, so the best system is a mixed economy with government intervention. The role of the entrepreneur is minimized or even completely ignored while the role of the state is emphasized and praised.
Public education indoctrinates students so that they become unquestioning citizens who will embrace price controls, taxes, inflation, and regulations.
To fight back, we’re producing a series of short lectures corresponding to Robert P. Murphy’s excellent textbook, Lessons for the Young Economist. The text is already widely used in homeschool curricula, but we want even more students to learn Austrian economics and become equipped to think critically about socialism and interventionism. To that end, here are the five lessons from Murphy’s textbook that I think are most important.

8:10 Dr. Dennis Powers www.DennisPowersBooks.com with today’s “Where Past Meets Present”.
Jed Meese
By Dennis Powers
Jed Meese was born in 1938 in Indiana and grew up in Southern California. A U.S. Navy veteran, he studied at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, completing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in San Diego. While there, he met Celia Edwards and they were married in 1963. From the 1960s on, Jed and Celia were together for over 60 years, both personally and in business. They lived briefly in Taiwan, then returned to California.
In 1972, the couple started Vitaline Corporation, a dietary supplement and nutraceutical manufacturer, distributor, and retailer. “Nutraceutical” supplements are foods containing health-care additives with medicinal benefit: Examples include ginseng, Echinacea, green tea, glucosamine, omega-3, lutein, folic acid, and cod liver oil–and numerous nutraceuticals have multiple therapeutic properties. Jed was “a specialist in neurological, renal and cardiovascular wellbeing” with Vitaline offering precise formulas and different applications (from chewables, different flavors, or powders) of its products.
Enter then Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone), which a Purdue University researcher in 1957 discovered. Four years later, Peter Mitchell at the University of Edinburgh figured out how coenzyme Q10 produces energy at the cellular level and won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1978 for this discovery. Several clinical studies suggested that CoQ10 supplements help reduce swelling in the legs; reduce fluid in the lungs, making breathing easier; and increase exercise capacity in people with heart failure (although later studies didn’t find this effect.) In 1986, the American Chemical Society (“ACS”) honored Dr. Folkers (the leading CoQ10 researcher) with a Priestley Medal, the highest honor that the ACS can confer on a chemist–and later a President’s medal by President Bush.
During this time, Jed was a co-developer at Vitaline for the U.S. distribution of this vitamin-like supplement and antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10, in different forms from tablets, different flavors (maple, chocolate, tropical fruit, and more), and powder to even IVs—which also was used in the research studies. The couple continued on in 1982, when they and Bill Hensley started Formulation Technology (“FTI”), each being “respected veterans of the nutritional supplement industry.”
Based in California, FTI is still a full-service contract manufacturer (whether “tablets, capsules, powders or chewables”) with labeling, distribution, and retailing of dietary supplements/nutraceuticals. Celia was a “founder, President and Vice President” of FTI from 1982 to the late 2010s, where she ran the company, trained employees (from 6 to more than 60), and oversaw marketing.
Jed started other companies and ventures with a physician partner in Japan, Sweden, Turkey and the U.K., designing and developing both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. In 2000, Vitaline was sold to Integrative Therapeutics. The couple moved to Ashland in 1987 in their “retirement”.
As an aside, when my wife and I moved to Ashland in 1992 over 30 years ago, we didn’t know anyone in Southern Oregon. We gradually over time began to know others, from our neighbors to colleagues at then SOSC (now SOU). Volunteering for nonprofits as the United Way and later on different boards (from the Ashland Community Hospital Foundation to the Ashland YMCA and others) brought more associations.
This board work brought me into contact with others from different backgrounds, all having a community spirit in volunteering and helping others. Yes, I knew Jed, as many others did. He was bright, quite accepting, “a very nice guy” personally, who with his wife made our region better in so many ways that you see now.
Jed and Celia were major donors to SOU, OSF, Kids Unlimited, the Ashland Family YMCA, Asante, Southern Oregon Humane Society, St, Mary’s High school, Asante, the Southern Oregon Humane Society, Ashland Rotary Club, and Celia’s House, to name what is known publicly—both thru a private foundation and individually. Jed served on the boards of the SOU Foundation (and a later Emeritus member), OSF, Asante, Ashland YMCA, U.S. Bank (regional), and the Ashland Community Hospital Foundation.
Several deserve special mention. The Jed and Celia Meese Foundation made significant gifts to SOU athletics, the arts, scholarship programs, and capital projects, most notably to the substantial Hannon Library building redesign (2003) with a room named in their honor. The Meese Room (Library, Room 305) is the largest meeting space at Hannon Library, located on the third floor, with an outdoor terrace and panoramic views of Grizzly Peak. Celia was the recipient of SOU’s 1998 President’s Medal, followed by Jed in 2009 with the same.
Jed was deeply involved with the Ashland Family YMCA, including being on the Board of Directors from 1991 through 2022 (four terms, the most recent being from 2016 to 2022). He was President and Vice President respectively, including serving on the Board of Trustees. Jed and Celia were awarded a lifetime membership in the 1990s for their outstanding service to the YMCA. They supported numerous capital projects, including the Annual Scholarship Campaign for Kids. A substantial gift brought about the “The Meese Family Aquatic Center” at the Ashland YMCA. For those of us who swim near daily in this Olympic-swimming pool and facility, simply saying “thanks” was never enough.
A gift to Southern Oregon Friends of Hospice led to Celia’s House, a nonprofit 12-bed residence in Medford for hospice care. The details of this truly stand out. In 2018 Jed and Celia Meese pledged a $1 million gift to the Southern Oregon Friends of Hospice, and to honor his wife, Jed requested that it “bestow Celia’s name on the former Harry Holmes estate.” This gift allowed it to complete their capital campaign and open Celia’s House. As stated on its website, “The name ‘Celia’ means ‘heavenly beauty’ in Latin, fitting for both our hospice home, ‘Celia’s House in Holmes Park,’ and a special benefactress.” Next, their foundation gift of $342,000 in 2021 provided for the final payment on its outstanding mortgage.
Jed Meese died in Medford in June 2024 and is survived by his wife, Celia, and family.
