This hour of the Bill Myers Show podcast is proudly sponsored by Klauser Drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for more than 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausor drilling.com. Mr. Outdoors will be joining me here in a few minutes after the rest of the news here. And I think I'm going to be doing my news live at 7.30. For some reason, I was recorded so I can do other things while I'm doing the show. But for some reason, yesterday's was playing. I'm sorry about that.

You probably hurry dump out of it, not that I want to attract attention to it, but I'll always be honest and fall on my sword when I'm kind of like Marco Rubio here. You know how we were joking about Marco Rubio has about four jobs. Same thing with me. And this morning I kind of messed up a little bit on that. I don't know what it is like a ghost in the machine. Anyway, some of the other news going on, I wanted to touch on this that a substack that I was reading. A friend of mine, Will.

about popping it yesterday. It's called the new oil order. Because you know, I was just mentioning how President Trump is pausing any further attacks on Iran oil infrastructure for another 10 days. Supposedly under negotiation. How is that going? I don't know.

You know, Iran will say, no, we're not talking. President Trump says they are. But, okay, we'll just keep it. We'll just take President Trump at his word for right now. I can't tell you. You know, I can't tell you. All I can say is that this is what's being reported, and hopefully there are negotiations that are going on here. But Gregor Jankovic on Substak has a piece out which I'd highly recommend.

It's called the New Oil Order, the New Oil Order. And it's why heavy sour crude just became the world's most valuable barrel of oil and who's winning World War III. That's really interesting because, you know, we have basically two types of oil. And I'm going to try to digest 31 pages into just a couple of minutes just to give you some of the highlights about it. But light sweet crude is the oil that flows easily, has low sulfur content. It makes it cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel. And that's been the premium product. It was easy to produce, right?

And you would pay more for that. Then you have the heavy sour crude. That's the stuff, the oil which is more tarry, you know, thick, high sulfur oil, and it requires complex refineries to process. That was sort of the ugly duckling, Yankevick writes, that requires expensive complex refineries to unlock it. And it was trading at a pretty big discount to the light, sweet crude, sometimes $15 to $20 a barrel cheaper. All right. But ever since the start of the Iran conflict here, this is inverted. A lot of times the heavy sour crudes are getting more expensive than the light, sweet stuff.

Now, United States refineries are actually older refineries. Most of them are older refineries. I don't think we built any new refineries for quite some time. We tend to like the heavy stuff. Yeah, we like the heavy stuff. stuff, and when we get the light sweet crude from the fracking, we would tend to export a lot of that because our refineries like the old stuff, because many of them were built in the 1950, 6070s, and this was when we were importing lots of Arab heavy crude, a lot of heavy crude

from Saudi Arabia. But now we're at the point where Russia, Russia's oil is treating as trading at a premium, the price of Western Canadian Select, which is also. Also the heavy stuff, the heavy sulfurous stuff, all that Canadian oil that gets exported, where it comes down here too. That's heavy, mostly. And Venezuela's oil, which we're now controlling, are commanding premiums in many cases over light, sweet crudes. Or at least if there's a discount to it, it's not nearly the discount that was.

Really interesting. One of the things that Yankevick, and I'm going to try to cut to the chase here, what Yankevick is opining, and I think it's worth reading, the new world order, the new oil order, I should say, is that there's already been so much damage done in the Middle Eastern oil architecture, the infrastructure there, that it's not coming back anytime soon. This is not going to be a temporary blip on the supply chain. And one of the things that Yankevig brought up that I didn't really know, and I'm not even sure I understand, but I'll try to explain a little bit. I'm going to try to find out more about this.

The claim is that a lot of the Middle Eastern, the Saudi Arabian oil fields that came under attack in the war, whether it's Iran oil fields or the U.A.E or Saudi Arabia, all the countries that were attacked by Iran as part of this conflict, they had to shut the oil fields. down or shut the wells down very quickly. And I guess they're kept under intense pressure to keep the rocks and the various ways that the oil percolates up into the ground. It was, they were shut down very quickly because of the attacks. You don't want the things blowing up and the oil spewing and, you know, just huge fires going on for days and days and years. You know, that kind of thing. The problem with this is that when you shut the oil wells down, this according to a Yanke, You shut the oil wells down rapidly.

You have to do it because the attacks are coming in. It actually damages the wells. And it could lead to the wells, the underground structure of the pipes and the rocks that everything being opened and the oil flowing out of it. It could lead to the oil being lost, maybe forever in some cases. So what's been going on in this conflict may be taking out a good percentage of oil. permanently or possibly permanently or if not permanently that it may take months if not years to restart some of these fields pretty important stuff if you can find it on substack gregar yankovic j-a-n-k-o-v-i-ccc the new oil order it is very thought-provoking but it also

indicates how the fact that we have the Canadian crude that we also have control of Venezuelan crude etc etc and now looking at Iran control of that. Possibly maybe we're in better shape than we think, but that the price might be going down sooner rather than later. He's not thinking so. But I think it's worth reading, though, and take a look at it. Like 30 pages, maybe skim through it or maybe have AI condensed it and give it to you.

But it's really worth reading, okay? This is the Bill Meyer show. We'll catch up on the latest from Fox News next. And also the hand of the update. Mr. Outdoors joins me after that. As the season changes, shoppers across some. Now more with Bill Meyer. Twelve minutes after seven, Senator John Kennedy.

Kennedy ends up coming out there and saying, yep, time to get out of Iran. That's what he said. So I'll let you know. He just said that on Fox News. So maybe this is the beginning of the pull-out time to get out. We'll see. But at least the call is out there. Twelve minutes after seven, Mr. Outdoors is here.

Greg Roberts atrogweather.com. Hey, Greg, what is it looking like here the next few days? Welcome back. It's actually for the weekend looking pretty good, but you heard Bobby Jay say it. Next week, we are definitely going to take a turn towards rain, cooler temps. How much rain I still am kind of questioning about, but considering how things have gone since last fall, this is probably going to be about as good a chance to see sustaining rain, meaning over the course of a couple of days, as we have seen. Again, it's more an amounts question. I had people ask me,

what do I think about snow in the mountains? And yeah, I think there will be some snow in the mountains, especially above 5,000 feet. But again, it's not like I think we're going to get this crazy, unbelievable situation that writes the ship at this point. Yeah, that will save the water year that will fill the mountains, snow and we'll keep everybody happy and not too concerned about it, right? That's not happening the way it's looking. Yeah, no. And honestly, you know, as we get deeper into the spring now, meaning as we transition to April, which we're going to be doing next week, you know, we get progressively drier and drier until we get down and we hit, you know, our driest months of the

year, which here in this area are July and August, but April, pretty typically a drier month. And historically, the rains that we have seen arrive in April tend to be far more driven by more convective type situation, showers and storms, rather than big, you know, sustaining lows and systems coming out of the Gulf of Alaska, which is more typical from November through the end of March. Now, let's see, Medford Water Year, I guess right now about one and a half, 1.8 inches down, you know, according to where we're normally supposed to be. And likely it's not going to be made up until if it does come back, that would be fall, right?

Fall, rain's coming. Well, yeah, and then, of course, we've got this looming situation of an El Nino taking effect in the fall. And listening to some of the discussions that you can find out there from climatologist, yeah, unfortunately, it looks like it is going to be moderate to strong El Nino. Historically, that typically means a warm and dry winter. However, there have been exceptions. There's always that possibility. We wind up with a wet El Nino. I can't think. think of a single cold El Nino, meaning where it's dumped a lot of snow in the mountains. But we have certainly had some examples of wet ones, and we're going to have to hope that what develops

will be one of those where Southern Oregon catches the northern end of the heavier moisture that will arrive in California with El Ninos. El Ninos wind up being heavy rain producers pretty typically in California, but they do also carry much higher snow levels than California would normally see. So California, you know, it's kind of funny when we get El Nino's warm and wet, when we get L'An Nias, and we have definitely seen this, California can just get slammed with a lot of snow. So the weird part is, no matter what pattern sets up, California typically benefits far more out of either pattern than Oregon and Washington. It's interesting you bring that up because I was reading that California ended up getting enough snow

that was technically, I guess, brought a lot of the state out of the drought that had been occurring, is that right? Well, looking at the latest drought information, though, California is now going back into drought. Most of the northern portion of the state and even down into the Cierras now is coming up as abnormally dry. They haven't hit the lowest classification of drought yet, but they're headed that way. But we went through a prolonged period of time this winter that California, for the first time in 25 years, the entire state was out of any level of drought. It was, you know, pretty stunning to see that happen and persist as long as it did. but eventually the lack of rain and snow down there did catch up to them.

And as I said, now we're seeing abnormally dry popping up on the drought monitors. I've asked you this question before, but I think it's always worth, you know, picking the brain of the public on something like this. I've always thought that depending on snow to be able to save you every year, especially when you've been coming out of an ice age for how many thousands of years, you know, that kind of thing, that depending on snow, to bank your water is kind of a fool's way of going about it. Maybe that worked in the 1870s, 1880s when you had no other way of dealing with it.

But shouldn't we really be talking about more reservoirs? I know that that just makes the Enviro-gang green types just throw up on themselves when you bring this up. Building more reservoirs would definitely not going to get that done now in America because there are people who will literally fight to the death. And I don't mean that metaphorically. I mean that literally. They will fight to the death any attempt to build a dam. They got a lot of money and attorneys behind them.

And they have blocked successfully every attempt at building a new reservoir of any kind of significance here in the United States going back to the 1990s. And then things that were supposed to be done, they got them blocked and kept them from being completed. Elk Creek Dam right here in Jackson County, most notable example of that. What about this latest story I was reading? I forget where it was, Northern California News Source, about the attempt to raise Shasta, to raise Shasta so that way they can hold more water. Naturally, tribes start going, hey, you know, you'll be submerging tribal lands, et cetera. You know, you hear the same stuff, you know, every time.

but you think that's politically dead or not? Also falls under the, you know, even improving an old one and existing one, or they're not going to go for that. For us, we got Lost Creek and Applegate done when we did, because if they had been another five to eight years later, we probably wouldn't have either Lost Creek or Applegate. We didn't get Elk Creek.

And coming out of the experience of the 64, flood, it was supposed to be the triumvirate of dams that would help prevent catastrophic flooding in the rogue basin. So like I said, we got two of the three. We probably really ought to think our lucky stars. We got that. Greg Roberts,rogweather.com. Outdoor report, this time we're talking about, you know, weather, where it's going right now. It's all sponsored by Oregon Truck and Auto Authority on Airway Drive in Medford. So Greg, I appreciate that. So that's just looking good, but Don't look for a whole ton of rain that's going to save the season. Why don't you hang on?

We'll have another segment here coming up, okay? You cool with that? All right. Oregon Trucking up. This is News Talk 1063, KMED. And you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. Greg Roberts back for Rogueweather.com. Outdoor report continuing.

Greg, you had to post the other day from Applegate Fire. And I was reading that. And the fire map is dead, but the fire assessments are not. That's essentially what you were, I guess, you know, trying to get across there, that one way or the other, the state is going to mulct property owners for more money, whether you like it or not, but it's not the fire map, right? Can you tell us what happened with that? It's interesting. We're funding to stabilize things for Oregon Department of Forest Street. They're also looking at how they can provide better funding for rural fire districts, exactly like Applegate Fire District, rural area. having your medical pay for it. At Korea, able to do that, frankly, you're not really going to have the opportunity to vote on this.

They're just good. This is what we've got to do to be able to provide fire protection, whether it's ODF or your local rural fire district like Applegate. And I said when I put the post up, people aren't going to like this. On the other hand, you cannot demand a service and not pay for it. for it. Well, I think the one difference, though, is that traditionally the state of Oregon did cover wildfire costs. It's something that was done out of the general fund for ever and ever amen from what I understand. And that also was when timber revenues were strong. The state had their own state forest lands like the Elliott, the Tillamook. And they are in the process of divesting

themselves of that because, well, Salem mindset is, oh, timber is, and they're stupidly getting rid of all the state timber assets that once helped create the revenue, so they're shifting the burden off onto the people. Okay. At its core, what this is part of is driving people out of the rural areas, making it too expensive for people to live out there. Well, that is certainly a big dream of the gangrene world. know that? Oh, yeah. Well, and I mean... Well, they want you living in a climate-friendly, equitable

community, you know, habit trail in downtown Metro. Exactly. And riding mass transit or walking or biking everywhere in the whatever it was, 15-minute, 20-minute city. But it's designed to help drive people into that. Okay. All right. So you understand, all right, I just want to understand not happy about it, but this is just the reality of what the state is doing and continue to two elect Democrats and this is what you get. Okay. All right. All right. Now, how does it actually work, though, the actual, because it's not like the fire map where they say your property is high risk. It's not like Golden's baby, which was, you know, here's the fire map and you, and you are high risk, and then the insurance company says, oh, we're not insuring you, that kind of thing.

Yeah, no, this is all based entirely on the size of the parcel and what's on the parcel. Is there a home on it? Is it then the size, five acres? 10 acres, or is it bigger than that? Okay, well, let's give it an example. How about an example? Could you tell me just a ballpark figure? What kind of assessment would happen then? Is it based on the property value or just there's a blanket assessment on fire costs?

This is a blanket assessment. It has nothing to do with the property's value because of whatever may be on it, homes, acreage, timber. Is it a per acreage? Is it a per acre charge or a lot? Yes. Okay. That's essentially what it boils. If you have a occupied residence on it, a dwelling on it, yeah, there's some variability there.

But the best way to put it is it starts based and it's a designed on a five acre, 10 acre, allotment situation. And if you have more than that, obviously it's going to be higher. But then it's also based on what kind of uses that property has. Now, you mentioned something about insurance. So some of the first reaction I saw to this was people going, well, my property is irrigated. Well, that's not going to matter here. It will with insurance.

Irrigated property, green space, defensible work done on your property to mitigate fire risk. Yeah, that will matter. Yeah, that will still count. Sure. On this, no. Okay. What kind of charges are we talking about? That of it I'm not nearly as well versed on. That's something that if you truly want to know that,

you're going to have to start in with, well, your local rural fire district. And Applegate, I am hoping because they explained it so well in the Facebook post, that if you called them, provided you're a resident of their district, they would be able to give you a very good detailed answer. I would suspect Fire District 3, Fire District 5 would be able to provide you the same thing. Medford Fire, not so much, because this really doesn't impact Medford Fire at all. It is really the rural fire districts and then also people living outside the fire districts. And I would imagine we have not seen these assessments yet.

It's probably something you're going to see later this year maybe. Yeah, reaction on that. I've got people telling me they're already starting to see some of this, and then I've got others saying that they haven't, but, you know, I just don't know for sure what the status is on that, but I know where they're heading with this. And yes, the first thing I'm going to say is you can't let's not pay for it, but on the other hand, let's be real. Salem loves this so much because it's going to depopulate the rural area. All right. Appreciate the tip on that, Greg. Thanks for sharing it. And we'll talk next Friday. Okay? You'd be well. And I guess we'll just enjoy the good weather and enjoy the rain when it does come next week. A real comment on what you had right when you led into everything at the very beginning, what John Kennedy, Senator Kennedy's remarks were.

Apparently, we have a lot of people out there who don't remember history at all. The whole situation with Iran is because Carter, capitulated to Ayatollah Khomeini. I'm taking care of it a long time ago. I think it's a little more nuanced than that, Greg, because I would say that we, along with the Brits, also, you know, got our fingers involved in this when the CIA helped the Brits with the coup in 1953. You know, that was the beginning.

It was the beginning of our fingers involved. But I'm talking about the Iran that we've been dealing with that has been. and slaughtering Americans that have been exercising terrorism all over the world. No, that started with us and with Carter. And I'm just thrilled to death that finally we've got somebody doing something about it. And I'm not going to support anything less than the complete removal of that evil regime in Tehran. Period. End of story.

All right. I'm gone. All right. We'll catch a little later on that, Greg. And we'll speak next. Friday. Greg Roberts, rather, rogueweather.com. 732. We'll catch up on the rest of things here. And David Medina is going to join me in a few minutes. David Medina. It's going to be at the Patriots conference tomorrow. I'll be speaking at the Patriots Conference tomorrow morning in Grants Pass 2.

No, we're not going to be hanging out. I'm not going to be sitting there yelling at people on the No King's Rally. I think that's kind of useless action, you know, in my view. They're going to say what they're going to say. But we are going to be talking about things that we do have some control over. to be discussing media and where to get that and maybe some alternative, alternative suggestions to bypass the narrative or to get a more balanced and nuanced take on Oregon news and United States News too, for that matter. But it's going to be good conversation. David also running for governor.

I don't know why. I'm going to talk to him about it here in the next few minutes, okay? Freddy's Diner has a menu that appeals to everyone. And look for a rerun of the no-kings rally. Saturday on high visibility streets here in southern Oregon. What will they be protesting? Well, everything President Trump, you know how that goes. 736, Bill Meyer KMED News. Steve and Sunny Valley, back to the opining now. How are you doing this morning, Steve? What's up? I am well. I am well. I think the first place the fraudsters should look is into this

PSA you're running for abuse against the LGBTQ plus elderly. Actually, that is not a PSA. That is actually a purchased advertising campaign from the state of Oregon. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's our tax dollars at work. Yeah, yeah. At least, you know, some of it's coming back, at least to my station.

So it helps pay the electric bill. But, yeah, you know, it's interesting how it is fascinating how we know that the LGBTQ elderly have it so much worse. Where's the evidence of that? I'm just trying, I've never heard of this of you. I haven't. I think the people who should be tried for elder abuse are the people that surrounded Mueller and the people who surrounded Biden. That's the real elder abuse.

You know something? Let me give you a real American salute on that, okay? Thanks for the call. All right. Let's see if we can get David Medina on here in the next few minutes and talk about what he's going to be talking about tomorrow at the Patriots Conference, maybe a little bit about the race too. He is running for governor, but I think everyone's running for governor this year, aren't they? This hour of the Bill Myers show is sponsored by Glacier Heating and Air, making sense of the heating and air business.

Do you ever get that feeling the walls are closing in on you? From stress? No, from Hanks. 7, KMED. 19 before 8, David Medina was supposed to be here. Some reason not answer the phone and had to leave a message and maybe he'll check back in. I know he'll be at the Southern Oregon Patriots Conference, and he's part of that lineup. I know that, well, I will pose the question to you.

Are you going to go out and argue or, you know, get into a street conversation if you want to call it that with no Kings 2? It's coming tomorrow. I just want to let you know. I just tend to drive past it. And that's why I'm happy to speak at the Southern Oregon Patriots Conference, which, by the way, is 9 to 5 tomorrow. I think it's more productive. I don't know if, you know, getting in the face of leftists on the street would be effective. or not, but yet numerous people writing me, and they're saying, well, where are the pro-Trump

demonstrations? Well, what a pro-Trump demonstration? Let me just pose it to you. Do you think a pro-Trump demonstration in front of No Kings would do something positive or not? What is your opinion about that? I will toss that out here to the Southern Oregon jury, and I'm happy to take your call. We'll just do some open phone time here then. 7705-633. 770, 7.7.7.7.7. 7-0-K-M-ED. You can also email me a response if you wanted to do that. Email Bill at Billmyershow.com. I would also add another question to this.

I know Greg was, you know, very much, I would say, in the middle of mainstream conservative, I don't know if you want to call it conservative thought, but mainstream Republican thought that he's happy that we're in and work in Iran. Senator Kennedy is saying, it's time to get out. do you have an opinion on this one way or the other? 770-5633.

I'm a bit more nuanced on this one because I'm looking at, I tend to look maybe a little bigger, bigger picture, I don't know. Not a criticism of Greg, but I think it's real common. It's just like, well, gosh, they've been fighting us for years and years and years and years. And I would go back and say, yep, and I have a longer history term that I tend to look back. We have been interfering in the Middle Eastern society for a long long, long time ever since World War II, post-World War II. CIA, Operation Ajax getting together, partnering up with the Brits.

We ended up helping out. We didn't do the coup against Iran. And by the way, I'm not saying that Mosa Day that elected president was some good guy. But there have been irritations going back a long, long time. And I do believe that there's a role that the United States has played. and keeping our fingers stuck in that in that piggy area of the world because of oil, because of power, whatever. And I would just consider it natural blowback.

I'm not saying it's okay that we get it. You see, just understand. And now we're at the point we're talking about nukes. Where do we go? Supposedly we blew them all up last year, which is why I have great doubt when I'm told that we blew them all up last year and set them back on their heels, and now we had to go in. I think there are other, I think there are other agendas in play here.

I really do. And part of that, though, is, like I had mentioned, control of oil and resources and energy. That's very important, and frankly, that is something that we do have to keep an eye on. You just can't let it go. I also think that the Iran War, this is my opinion, my opinion only, is also about partially defending the petrodollar. You don't want that Iranian oil being sold in. yuan to China.

Same with Venezuelan oil being sold to China in yuan. It's a part of that. I know it's a burden. The World Reserve currency, but you have to keep up demand for the dollars so you can continue to print money. So there we go. Throw it all out there.

We can kick it all around. Open phones on conspiracy theory Thursday. If David shows up, we'll talk with him too. Hi, good morning. KMED. Who's this? This is Jane. Jane, what's on your mind today? Go ahead. Well, the guy never said who the ones are that's willing to fight to the death. Do you destroy us?

Okay. Which guy are you talking about? The one that was on with the weather. Oh, Greg Roberts. Yeah. Okay. All right. Ann?

He never stated who was willing to fight to the death. Okay. I think that's implied. You talk about like the Iran fight to the death who's going to fight to the death? And what I tried calling about yesterday is that black queer woman that made a cooking. Maybe she only wants black queer women to buy the book. It's quite possible. Ashley Shanti, I was talking about that, Gene.

That's an interesting point. And by the way, I have no doubt that Ashley's cooking is probably really good. But I would be hoping that we'd be getting past the nonsense and actually just talk about how good your cooking is rather than who you're you're sleeping with because I'm not really interested. You know, hey, she can sleep with whoever she wants, you know, free country, that kind of thing. But to make that the focus of the PR, it kind of just surprised me, that's all. Also, her color, what damn difference does it make who buys the book? You can be white, pink, orange, purple, whatever.

Well, because remember, though, she was breaking through barriers. Somehow, I guess black queer women have never been able to cook Southern cuisine until now. And so I'm teasing you, Gene. You know how it goes. Apparently, Southern cuisine was never possessed by black queer women until now. I appreciate the call. Thank you, Gene. 770KMED.

Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? Welcome. Good morning. Holly Martin, Josephine County. Holly, how you doing? I'm good.

I absolutely don't think we should be out in the street with these protesters. I think it's, you know, just let them have their moment in the sun, if that's how they see it. Trump's work speaks for itself. You either are happy with it or you're not. And they're not going to be happy with it. They're never going to be happy with it. And I figure they're just going to do what they do. You know, fine.

Well, they bring in a bunch of people. They say they don't, but, you know, we know they do. They bust in and bring in people from other areas to try to create a big crowd and make a lot of noise with their green hair and all their foolishness. and I don't think we should dignify it by even getting out there. I think it creates an unsafe environment. They're trying to bait us into doing something stupid so they can get some videos. You know, just let them do their thing.

You know, come down to the Patriots Conference or wherever you like to go to learn something. You're not going to learn very much standing in the street, saber-rattling with, you know, a bunch of lunatics. It's kind of like the old story, the old story about, you know, you're wrestling with a muddy pig and the pig gets angry. and you just get money. It's all it's going to happen. That's all it's going to be.

All right. Thanks, Holly. Well, I'll be there tomorrow and I'll be kicking it off around 915, right? Great. I'm really looking forward to it. Yep, looking forward to it also. Thanks, Holly. You can get tickets at the door or go to the Josephine County Republican Party.

You might want to go to and get the tickets before the No King's Rally is there, probably making a mess of things. You know they'll be there in front of the courthouse, okay? Hi, good morning. KMD. Who's this? This is Minor Day. Hi, Dave. What's on your mind this Friday?

Well, Spain's been a thorn in our side for a while. And there's so much propaganda, I don't know what to believe. So I'm neutral right now on the war in Iran. But Donald Trump conducted a test with the NATO alliance, and they failed. So I'm predicting the agenda was really against our allies because we're in a realignment of assessing our, our alliances, and maybe we're creating a new one with the Board of Peace. And I think that it's the end of NATO. The end of NATO.

Well, NATO has been around for a long, long time. Right, since World War II. Time for Europe to defend itself, you're saying, huh? It's time for them to put up or shut up. All right. Thanks, Dave. 770KMED. There's an open line there right now.

Happy to take your calls. All comers, all topics. 770 KMED, 7705633. If you're on hold, I will get right to you. Let's see. Price of gold and silver, I haven't checked it recently. I went over to Jay Austin yesterday. I was talking with Andrea, Andrea, rather, and Sarah.

They were there holding down the fort that day. Great conversation. You know, it's one of the joys that I love when I'm getting ready to trade and buy or sell physical gold or silver when I talk to the folks at Jay Austin. I go in there and I'm finding people. that, hey, these people are thinking a lot like me. It's like, it's like Symptico, hey, hey, here, have a cup of coffee, you know, that kind of thing. But they do this now all by appointment because it's all about keeping things private, keeping things secure, and having nobody else knowing what's going on with your

transactions, right? And I was asking, I said, well, how's it been because, you know, we had a price of, you know, silver, it took a tumble and gold, too. And it's kind of found a new base here and it went too high too fast in my opinion i mean people that were selling out at 5500 hey good for you i think it'll get there eventually again but yeah it didn't it didn't do the steady thing there was a lot of speculation on this i ultimately think that uh that people will be maybe sometime over the long term horizon upset that maybe they maybe they sold out right now but maybe not other people saying hey i haven't holding on to this golden silver for 20 years maybe i'm in my 80s or something, I want to sell out.

I understand that. And when you are ready to sell or buy, talk with Jay Austin. Call 482 3715, 482-3715, 482-3715, and get your appointment today. They recognize experts, great sponsors.

Got something on your mind? Give Bill a shout. at 541-770-5633-770 KMED. Glad to have you here on Find Your Phone Friday. John, good to hear from you. How's life in Ashland, and you're getting Gregory Wrightstone ready for tonight? Yeah, Gregory will be speaking today from 5 to 7 at the Rogax, and he sent me some of his books that he'll sign,

and also a new book by Dr. Linson and Dr. Happer from MIT and Princeton. together a book that clearly and simply puts together the whole idea that CO2 does not cause global warming or devastation, as they've been saying. And this is going to be a great education. And Gregory Reichstone speaking tonight, 5 o'clock, 5 till 7 at Roegex. He'll also be at the Southern Oregon Patriots Conference. I think he's going on when I'm done. After I give my talk, I'm first in the line up there in the morning.

And then Gregory is telling me he thinks he's after that. So it'll be a good day. It really will be. It's a tremendous privilege to have someone of his caliber fly all the way from Washington, D.C. to southern Oregon to talk to us. So I encourage people, if you're really at all interested in learning anything about CO2, come today from 5 to 7. All right, very good. Appreciate the call. Thank you for that, John. 770KMED means there's another open line. Todd's in Central Point, Todd. Go ahead. There's a lot going on. What do you think? Good morning. I agree with Holly. It's futile to try to argue with those people.

the side of the road about a month ago when they had the last king's anti-king rally thing. I was driving through Phoenix. There was a group about 15 or 20 people on a corner, and if I could characterize them, all about 20 years old, girls, purple hair, and it looks like the heaviest thing that they had ever lifted was a fork, and they were carrying signs that said F. Trump, that's not a really persuasive argument. What I find interesting, you know, is that I understand that no kings is almost like a a safety valve release. I think what's really going on.

I still think that the Democrats, and not that I'm saying, I agree with everything that President Trump has done, I don't think they, I'm not detecting a plan other than they want to stop the president and that agenda. That's the only plan that I can detect at this point. I could be wrong.

What do you think about it? Well, my brother is a retired diplomat, and I was talking to him about what was going on in Iran. And he was talking about the complicated situation on the ground there. You have 38 provinces in Iran. Each one is semi-autonomous.

And if you really tried to do regime change, you basically have a guerrilla war with 92 million people on a huge place. So it's going to be a mess. However, if you try to whack – if it's true that in the case of Iran, if they tried to whack our president, Pompeo and all these people on our – territory, that's going to lead to war. But one thing I did want to close with before I said goodbye, we lost Chuck Norris last week. If I could recommend a fantastic movie, did you ever see Chuck Norris versus communism? No, I haven't seen that. It's a fantastic movie. It was so entertaining, and it will remind people what life was like back in Eastern Block when the Soviet Union was in power.

It was a documentary film from 2015, highly regarded at the Sundance Film Festival. And basically, it's a very serious documentary about what life was like and how people were smuggling VHS tapes into Romania to show people what life was like in the West. And people would have secret meetings and show these video things. So it was really basically all Western TV series. how it showed people what the real world is like. So highly recommended Chuck Norris versus communism. That's fascinating. Now, did they actually smuggle in Chuck Norris movies or maybe TV shows of the Texas Ranger? What was that? I'm just curious. Absolutely. Absolutely. That, but also dynasty and all like that. And it was very dangerous because if you were caught

with these smuggled in things, you could be in prison. And there was one lady who was a government official who would dub from English into Romanian, and she had a very distinctive voice, like your voice is very distinctive. And she was living in constant fear that if they discovered that she had done this and worked with these, well, basically it was like mafias and even police and government officials were making money on the side, smuggling in these contraband. But it was just a really cool film and very, very watchable. It's only a little over an hour. So Chuck Norris, versus communism. I'm going to look it up. Thanks so much. Great story. You go to Francie. Francine's here too. Hey, Francine. Good morning. Good morning, Bill. Well, I agree with Holly also that,

you know, it's absurd to go out there and try and counter their demonstrations. For one thing, they've been, they've been planning this for a while, and it's going to be probably quite a few people. And on the fly, going out there trying to resist it is silly. It's just, you know, it's useless. But I did come up with an idea that would kind of counter their demonstration. Next time there's a sporting event with men, trans women being included in the women's sports, we can have a no-queen's rally. A no queens rally. Yeah, it appears, though, that the International Olympic Committee has kind of done that,

more or less saying that they will no longer accept, they will no longer accept the fake women into the Olympics. And that's progress. That is the beginning of the end. But of course, you know, Oregon will continue, I would figure, to double down. I'm not talking about real Oregon. I'm talking about the legislative version of Oregon, the narrative. It's not truly over.

No. So, you know, we are making progress. But that's why, you know, another good reason to have a no Queens rally next time they have a sporting events with trans women. All right. Very good. Appreciate the call. Scott's here.

Hello, Scott. What's going on? Hey, good morning. Yeah, I've been to two or three of those rallies and tried to talk to the people themselves. I wasn't out there protesting. What I did was I walked through their crowd and tried to start conversations with people. How do that work out? Well, most of them, they're so busy jumping up and down and screaming.

and saying no kings, no kings, and that they won't take the time to talk. Now, there have been a couple times where I did get into conversations with them, but my goal is not to convert them in their thinking. That's the second goal. The first goal is to talk to them about Jesus, because if you don't change the heart, you don't change the person. So it's very difficult. So you're thinking ultimately that there is something missing in the heart of many of the protesters then, in your view?

Well, sure, there is. Go back, go back, you know, 50, 75 years and look at the culture and the way it was until 1963, when they took God out of the schools, everything went downhill starting the following year in the stats for crime and pregnancies and all that. If you don't have a Christian culture, which a lot of it's gone now. Yeah. So if you don't have a Christian culture, you look at the history of the world. And without the Christian culture, that changed everything for the good. Look at this country.

We're under judgment now. If you go through Scripture and you look at how, like Sodom and Gomorrah, they were given a chance to repent. They didn't, and God destroyed them. Same thing now. The picture is, in Europe, they're farther along than we are, but here you've got Islam and eventually Europe will be taken over by Islam. I think to your point here, to your point, Scott, we have to remember that what we think of is Western civilization. It wasn't that we had a Christian government, okay? It wasn't that.

No, no, I didn't. No, I didn't say you did, all right, all right. But, you know, that's what, of course, they will say that, well, you know, we're not supposed to be a bureaucracy. And you're right. We're not supposed to be technically a theocracy. Absolutely not. But the underpinnings of Christian thought of Christianity defined Western civilization, including our country, including Europe and elsewhere. And the challenge is that everybody, every nation has to have a set of ideals and an idea that is, you know, a uniting. the basic rules of society. And for hundreds of years, it had been, Christianity had been the

winner on this. And then, of course, the left fights to destroy that. They've been very successful in many ways. I've got to, you know, but that's the Christian's fault for not getting out there and sharing the gospel. And then what happens then? Right now we're in that vacuum period in which it's not really Christian, it's not gone Muslim yet, it's not gone, you know, totally secular. It's a very confusing time for that reason. Absolutely. All right. Thanks, Scott. Hey, if you're on hold, I'll get right to you.

It's open phones on Find Your Phone Friday here on KMED and KMED, HD, H.MED, H.D1, Eagle Point, Metford, KVXG, Grants Pass. We'll do a quick check of the news. I'll be right back with more of your calls. If you're holding, I'll be with you. Power up your project with Husk Varnas.
