Here's Bill Meyer. So great to have you here, waking up, live, in color. By the way, I am on Facebook too, facebook.com slash Bill Meyer Show. We do the Facebook Live every morning, assuming that everything is working okay. And I hope you're well. It is Find Your Phone Friday, 770-5633-770K-MED. Now, I know that there are other hosts that will do things like, they'll call it Open Lines Friday, but we always take calls here. Great small town radio, you know, that's other hosts that will do things like they'll call it Open Lines Friday, but we always take calls here.

Great small town radio, that's what we like to do here. But I can always remember the late Rush Limbaugh back in the day during the Gulf War or the war on terror. And I remember he had a parody going on in which it was the terrorist in Afghanistan going and it was the Rush in Afghanistan going, and it was the Rush Alibaba, remember that? Does anybody remember that character? I know I'm just kind of spitballing on this, but it is Find Your Phone Friday.

Find a phone. Find a phone and see if you can call it. But yeah, you can do that now if you want to. But I always remembered Rush doing that. It always made me laugh. laugh always stuck in my head that's why I said find your phone or find a phone Friday you know that kind of thing anyway 7705633 770 KMED it's gonna start getting hotter today hot this weekend mr. outdoors is going to be catching us all up about an hour from

now including the latest on the fires including Neil Creek seems to be the big a couple hundred acres or so. Looks like they're getting some handle on it and lining it, I hope, but Greg will give us all the latest on that coming up. Several dozen fires and of various intensity going on here in southern Oregon. I would imagine that given that we're looking to be in the low 100s, could see some more fire activity. I don't know if we have more thunderstorm activity, but Greg will give us the latest on that all coming up. In spite of all the fires and the people doing their work out there, I ended up having an interesting experience this morning. You know, sometimes it... I don't know if you're like me, I know I am,

but there are times that I'll have an early morning wake up and despite all my best efforts, you realize you're not going to go back to sleep, one of those things. So I woke up at 1.15 this morning, maybe 1.30 or so, and went potty, all that kind of stuff. And I said, okay, all right, I got a, you know, two and a half hours, two and a half hours left to, I can grab some shut eye before I wake up at like 3.45, which is kind of my later, but normal wake up time. And then you realize, you know that feeling, you're going, trying to go back to sleep

that you're not going back to sleep. And sometimes you get a little depressed about that. It's a, oh man, I was feeling so good. And then, you know, I'm going to have to wake up. So I thought I would make the best of it because yesterday I was trying to do some radio work, radio station work at our radio stations in Jacksonville. Over in Jacksonville, we got a big transmitter up there

for Cool 103 and another one for KRWQ 103.1 translator which went down because internet link went down. So I was trying to repair that and Dave Aikens from Modern Prospect, he came out, he was the tower climber, so we were up there and I was doing all this work on it and we just about had it completely done and I'm configuring it with my laptop and I didn't bring my laptop charger with me and I probably needed 10 more minutes of laptop battery. Boom. Dead. D'oh! So I had one of those those moments right I'm coming home and I'm sort of irritated by that I said okay well I'll go back on Friday to do this. No big deal. So go to sleep, sleep well, wake up, and then, okay, it's 1.15 in the morning.

Of course I want to go up on Jacksonville Hill. So I went out to Jacksonville Hill about two o'clock or so, ended up going up there. And I have to tell you, it was the nighttime skies here in the nighttime in Southern Oregon. And this is the reason I was telling you about it. And you know, unless you're out in the middle of the night, you probably rarely get a chance to see just how beautiful the nighttime skies and landscapes can be around here. Of course, first thing you got to do is go through all of the detours and the roadblocks of the nighttime road crews that are doing stuff on highway 62 in my case and Del water is All the rest of it. Everything's like shut down. It's like zigzagging everywhere you go highway 238, by the way

It's gonna be still be closed to that shut down section till probably Sunday. I want to understand So anyway, I'm going around all of these deals I'm listening to coast to coast a.m. And Whitley strebers in there talking about his weirdness and in all this and I'm looking out there And it was so beautiful. It was a surreal landscape everywhere. And I'm going up into the mountains, up on the trail road, to go up to the Jacksonville Hillside. And the headlights are playing on the foliage. And I'm colorblind. I don't really see great color perception, especially if it's red, red-green. I have little problems with this.

But a lot of the scrub, like the Madrone, things like that, there's like a silvery glow to it in the headlights. And I'm going through this as I'm grinding up the hills with the 4 rudder. And it's so beautiful and the moon is full and that silvery glow is out on the landscape. Just absolutely, maybe that's why I couldn't sleep, full moon, right? Full moon fever. Great Tom Petty album, right? In all seriousness though, it was so beautiful.

And I feel very blessed to be down here. And sometimes it is so beautiful we forget. We forget, you know, we live around here. And it's like if you live around Disneyland in Anaheim, California, do you care? Do you notice how great Disneyland is? No, you probably don't. Sometimes I think we're that way here in Southern Oregon.

It was just gorgeous, and especially with the moon playing on things. And yeah, I got all my stuff, got all my work taken care of, the internet connection restored, everybody's happy, and so I don't have to go back there later today when it's 103 or whatever it's going to be. 96, I think, is the expected high. And so that was all fun but yeah the beauty of it and the calm and the peacefulness of the nighttime here in Southern Oregon except for the construction crews that are out there doing their thing. So I'm driving past the Swidewalk. Still trying to figure out that one by the mall huh? Bet you are too. All right 7705633 if you wanted to join in

Willamette Week ended up putting this out yesterday. Nigel Jaquis, great reporter up there, really. New lawsuit says Oregon's closed primaries violate the Constitution. Hmm. The challenge comes that rights as more Oregonians than ever are excluded from primary contests that decide many general elections. This new lawsuit seeks to break the stranglehold of Oregon's two major political primaries, what they have on legislative and statewide elections, the nonprofit... oh, the nonprofit... our primary voices. In one of its members, Mark Porter, a resident of Clackamas County, filed the lawsuit June 25th, Marion

County Circuit Court against the state. In the lawsuit, Porter describes a fundamental conflict between the Oregon Constitution and state election laws. The Constitution, Porter notes, lays out the requirements for voting. A citizen is entitled to vote in all elections if the citizen meets the three qualifications listed in Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution, age, residency, and registration, the lawsuit says. The Oregon Constitution does not list any other qualifications for a citizen to be entitled to vote in any or all elections. That's going to be an interesting one, don't you think? Hmm. Here's the thing.

I'm going to assume that our primary voice and one of its members, Mark Porter, is a committed leftist because nothing comes out with election reform, usually in the state of Oregon, unless it's the leftist trying to find out more ways to destroy what's left of any Republican representation here. Can we all agree on that much so far? Okay, I'm pretty sure you do. You can call me if you don't. But our primary voices, it's not fair that Democrats don't get to choose the Republican candidates, right? I mean, that's kind of, I think, where they're trying to go here. Honestly, I guess what they're trying to do is to give us open primaries, and that would once again mean that that communists end up choosing Republican candidates because

there's a lot of communists in this state we call them Democrats or Workers Party people or whatever the progressives whatever you want to call it that's really the goal now I'm irritated at primary elections for a different reason than Mark and Mark Porter and this our primary voice, our primary voices. First off, the part about the the primary aspect of it, yes Americans love their two-party system, apparently. You know, anytime you go with three, it doesn't tend to go as well. But there's nothing stopping anybody from getting themselves on the ballot,

just petitioning and then getting on the ballot, and not being a Democrat or Republican. But chances are, no, you don't win. You won't likely win, most of the time. It's usually a Democrat or a Republican, and in this state, more often a Democrat, just the way it goes. So they're talking about breaking up this cartel. My issue here is that the two parties have kind of left themselves open to this kind of challenge, and here's why. Because we have these taxpayer-funded primary elections.

And I've never understood why taxpayers pay to select a party's candidate. I have never understood that. Not one bit. That we end up having a... that the taxpayers are taxed to pay for an election to select a party's standard-bearer. To me, the parties should elect their own standard bearer in their own kind of election process, whatever that is. Whether that is

a caucus where you go in the smoke-filled room, well in Oregon it would be a cannabis smoke-filled room, and then hash it out and decide, or else you know you have your own primary election that you pay for yourself. I've never really agreed with primary elections being paid for by taxpayers. It made no sense to me and we used to do it differently and it seemed to be just fine. This way if you wanted to be a republican standard holder then you'd have to go into the caucus or to some state convention, whatever, and do it

that way. But I think as long as you're having these primary elections that are taxpayer-funded, I think you're going to have these Mark Porters of our primary voices coming out and having, you know, getting some traction. Don't you? Why not? I mean, around here as an example, if someone is going to run for county commission, you want to run as a Republican in Jackson County or Democrat in Jackson County, go to your party and then say, hey, I'd like to be your standard bearer. And then maybe we have caucusing or, you know, we can pay for our own private election, that sort of thing.

I've never, I've never been a big fan of these government elections to choose the candidates for a party. That's the way I'm looking at that. The parties should choose their candidates and then see where it goes. That's how I see this. But yeah, no doubt our primary voices is about making sure that our primary voices, the more progressive voices, get to cancel out any Republican representation. That's ultimately what they would like, don't you figure? Yeah. Because no election reform ever comes to Oregon, once again, no election reform ever comes to Oregon if it could actually benefit the Republican Party. If it is about cementing the stranglehold

on progressive power in the state of Oregon, then it will move forward. I think that's what this Our Primary Voices nonprofit wanting to have open primaries is all about. That's how I see it. Okay? All right. Yesterday I was talking about a story with Douglas Mackey, how Douglas Mackey ended up having, you know, he's the guy that did the memes, the Hillary Clinton memes back then, and got convicted of major crimes. Well, humanevents.com reporting this morning that he will be suing the DOJ following that major legal win in federal court.

I hope he cleans their clock, too. Although I wish he were cleaning the clock of the Biden people rather than the DOJ that's right now. I guess you're just suing the institution, but still, yeah. They really screwed him over, so I think that's pretty good. In Hunger Grip Oregon, OPB reports, Trump's food stamp cuts could overwhelm its welfare system. Oh, I didn't realize that it was the federal government's job to pay for hungry Oregonians.

I bet you didn't know that either. You know, I'm looking in the Constitution and I have yet to see anything in the federal constitution that says, and yes, we are here to provide food benefits for hungry Oregonians. Under federalism, frankly, Oregon should be providing for its own hungry people. But yeah, this is what they're claiming. Each month one in six people in Oregon get help from the government-run SNAP program to put food on their table. About half of them are seniors, people with disabilities, and children, according to the Oregon Department of Human Services.

But with the recent passage of the policy bill, the big, beautiful bill, those benefits could be at risk for many Oregonians. So what? I'm going toians. So what? I'm gonna say so what. Not that I want people to be hungry, but I don't think the federal government should be involved in something like that anyway. Oregon takes an awful lot of tax money from us every year and they end up using it to do a lot of bad stuff. As far as I'm concerned, the more the Trump

administration cuts back on the federal programs, the more the state government in Oregon is going to have to concentrate on stuff that actually works rather than saying, oh we have to have drag queens storytime hour and let's celebrate black drag queens dancing on the house floor and how about transgender surgeries too? Things like that. Maybe they don't pay OHSU as much money for transgender surgeries and they put more money in for the truly hungry people. Assuming they are truly hungry people and not just a bummy dirtbag homeless types that are

able-bodied but choose not to work. I don't know if that's how that's working or not. Oh, by the way, how much of it is illegal immigration? Sanctuary state, right? Hmm. So anyway, but that's the scary stories that we're getting from OPB and the other left-wing media. It's at least good to know that, all right? 29 after 6. This is the Bill Meyers show. We'll catch up on the rest of things with Bill London, too. And then into the Epstein situation, why the Epstein case matters. And I know everyone's trying to say move along, nothing to see here. But we'll talk with some sexual exploitation people about that. Oregon Truck and Auto Authority is the Rogue Valley spray-on bedliner leader for 20 years running.

In the next week, the National Weather Service issued an extreme heat watch for Jackson and Josephine counties in much of Oregon west of the Cascades. From Saturday through Wednesday evening, highs could reach 95 to the low one hundreds. Lows will only reach into the upper sixties. An officer involved shooting on the Fourth of July at Medford's Hawthorne Park was

justified and the suspect who was injured and hospitalized indicted on multiple charges. The Jackson County District Attorney's Office says Medford Police Department Officer David Leal was trying to arrest 55-year-old Salvador Sanchez, a Medford transient on warrants when Sanchez threatened him with a knife. Sanchez is facing charges of attempted assault, unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest and attempted escape.

You are here in the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED. 634, Danny Penter joins me and she is the Senior Vice President and Director of the Law Center for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Danny, it is a pleasure having you on.

Welcome. Thank you so much. So glad to talk with you. You know, this is a weird, weird week. And it has just been bizarre. And I know that that some are saying that people who are asking questions about the Epstein case and the Epstein files or the lack of them and how there's nothing to see move along have some nefarious intent. I don't think that's it.

But I don't think it's being handled well. I mean, overall, what do you think about this, given that this was about sexual exploitation of underage kids for crying out loud? And now it kind of feels like it's being swept away. Do you have a take on it? Yeah, exactly. I mean, my reaction is, you know, I read the memo. I saw the headlines, but I went and I read the DOJ memo. It's only about two pages. I encourage everyone to actually read it. It was very strange because it confirmed that their investigation, they can say with confidence, the DOJ has confirmed that Epstein abused over 1000 victims000 victims, over 1,000. And that there was tens of thousands of video

of child exploitation. So to on the one hand confirm that large scale of a child exploitation operation. I mean, with those numbers, it's hard to imagine that that could be just some weirdo committing sex crimes in a closed universe. It's hard to imagine that there were not other facilitators and other people who at the very least knew what he was doing and helped him who should be held accountable. So it's just troubling. And so far at this point, the only person who has been convicted of anything has been

what? Ghislaine Maxwell. That's it. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. And what was she charged with? Do you recall off hand?

Yes, she was charged with violating the sex trafficking statute for sex trafficking, facilitating and procuring the children for Jeffrey Epstein. All right. So you have Ghislaine basically pimping for him, right? Yeah. And they're probably engaged in sex abuse, things like that. I understand this one. But again, we have hundreds of people, hundreds of the most... biggest and most powerful people in the entire world that are going off to his little vacation villa, you know?

That's sort of it. And so, what? Was this something that they're off to his little vacation villa. And so, what? Was this something that they're trying to expect us to believe that it's just Galane and Jeffrey doing all the abusing and everybody else was just there sipping punas or something? I know. What do you think? It's troubling. I mean, that's the thing.

You know, Jeffrey Epstein was a socialite, so he made it his business to know people and to know famous people and influential people. So I'm sure it's a mixed bag. I'm sure there's people that he met with that aren't implicated. And then it's, but it's impossible for me to believe that no one was, right? That no one is going to this private island where we have confirmation children were abused and no one saw anything, no one participated in anything at all. That is really hard to believe. And so it's just strange. It's also

strange to me like how the news is broken to us on like a Sunday night after a holiday weekend, and there's just this unsigned memo and it's just the explanation just feels very unsatisfactory. Yeah, and I'm hoping that there's going to be continued conversation from the Trump administration. And honestly, you know, to me when I looked at the Dan Bond genos of the world and and what was it, Cash Patel and Pam Bondi, wasn't there the look, I mean I know we're looking for asking for a conjecture on your part, but wasn't there the look of like being forced to say this in one form or another? I mean it didn't ring authentic I'll say that. I didn't find it authentic. I was left puzzled right? I

never felt convinced. I think they've got a bit of a problem there and you know I like Pam Bondi. She was the attorney general for Florida, where I'm from, and did an amazing job prosecuting human trafficking and making Florida really a leader in stopping human trafficking. So she understands human trafficking. So I'm just puzzled by all of this, honestly. I just, you know, there may be good reasons why the public can't know. There really might be, and they can't tell us, but it just feels the way that this is being delivered is leaving us all with questions, unfortunately.

Yeah, yeah, I would agree. And by the way, this is Danny Pinter. She's senior vice president and director of the Law Center for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. The website, by the way, is nsexualexploitation.org. Now, I had a listener who called me up and had an interesting theory saying that, well, here's why they're not going to release anything because Maxwell is on appeal right now. And I'm thinking, all right, that may be true, but why don't we say that then? Or am I wrong about that?

Because they would say that if that were true, wouldn't they? Just come out and say it. Well, yeah, I mean, and there's also like a civil case I've heard that could be part of the issue. I'm with you. Why not give us that maybe reasonable explanation or not give us an explanation? Just do nothing. What was the urgency to tell us now in this manner? I think the timing of it... I don't think they had to tell us now. They could have sat on, continued to deliberate or what have you, until they could give the public something we could understand. And when Pam Bondi said that I have these files on my desk, or at least she suggests that, it was very strongly, and it's like,

well, I mean, if that's sitting there and they're talking about, well, we have to redact things and make sure that things are proper, they were not letting the wrong names out, and I get that, I completely understand, you don't want the victims necessarily exposed on something like this. And then to all of a sudden saying nothing, it's thin gruel. And I don't know if the Trump administration understands that this is thin gruel. And there's just a bunch of people who are not anti-Trump, but they are anti being fibbed to, I think. Yeah, exactly.

And I think that's the bit of the problem. People are upset, rightly so, about Epstein in the first place because it is an example of corruption and cover-up from the beginning. He acted with impunity for years, protected by powerful people, and then gets this sweetheart deal in 2008 that was orchestrated by people in government. So people are outraged about that in the first instance. And then it's confusing that the administration, they didn't have to necessarily tell us that they're going to tell us, right?

They didn't have to claim that they're going to release the documents, but they did. But what do you think happened then that they moved forward with something like this at this particular time? And you admit it yourself that it seems and feels very odd, you know, the timing on this, to say that there's nothing to say you move along. That's the big question for me because I really can understand why there might be many reasons that in the end, this is the answer. You know, we got an unsatisfactory answer.

Part of the thing I always think about is that a lot of these crimes were very old. These happened so, so long ago now, over 20 years now, 30 years now, some of the victims. And so maybe, maybe all the evidence they have now, it's so stale and maybe the victims are not available that prosecutions aren't possible. So that could be, but why not tell us that? And why now? I'm left without an explanation. Nothing makes sense to me about that. Danny Pinter, once again, from the Law Center for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. I'll try redirecting this question here, go to a different direction on something

like this. Who was the Miami attorney, the federal attorney, Alex, I forget his name. Acosta. Acosta, thank you. Thank you very much. I knew you being from Florida, you'd know who I was talking about. When Alex Acosta was being confirmed in labor during the first Trump administration, he was concerned about being confirmed because he was the one who negotiated that very light sentence or that

really sweetheart deal cut with Jeffrey Epstein. And he told them quite openly, he said, we were told that he belonged to intelligence and to lay off, you know, in essence to go easy on him. And I guess the question is, whose intelligence? Maybe that's why they're not going to tell us. Yeah, precisely. I mean, we already know, Prince Andrew, we already know there's other countries and there, you know, people involved. So yeah, what is going on here? Is this a foreign intelligence? Is this a foreign security issue?

That could be, and I mean, I'm like, does that mean they can't tell us that? I guess they have to just, you know, maybe, one thing I'm thinking is maybe they want us to know they can't tell us and they did it in this unsatisfactory manner so that we would know we're not getting the full truth. Like, you know, like maybe they want us left and asking these questions. Okay, well see, to me, right from the start, this feels like a Mossad action. Mossad's very good at

honey traps. They do this and they do this to get, you know, leverage and get intelligence for anti-terrorism work and all the rest of it. Maybe this was joint CIA, you know, Mossad. I can't prove it one way or the other, but it kind of feels this way given the fact how they're backing away from saying anything about it like a Georgia mule. And maybe they want us to know, you know, maybe it's a little bit of an, like they know, it's hard for me to believe that the administration thought we would accept this lightly. So it makes me think, do they want us to keep asking questions to know there's more going on here? I don't know.

What are we supposed to do with that? Here's another aspect of this too, that JP Morgan Chase, the bank ended up paying several hundred million dollars to— Three hundred million. Yes. Yes. Yeah. 300 million. And these were not these transactions that were done through the bank where they were all the sketchy sex trafficking money ended up going through the JP Morgan Chase Bank system. That's not an anonymous and you know, you have people paying money and isn't that something which is actionable or are we once

again past the statute of limitations and this is why we're not even going to put it out? I don't know. I'm so glad you mentioned that because I think that's one of the strongest pieces of information that kind of contradicts that there's no third party involvement because a $300 million judgment is massive. It's one of the biggest judgments ever for human trafficking against a facilitator beneficiary, right? So like, you know, the bank isn't the one who trafficked.

They had to pay that judgment for facilitating and profiting from Epstein's trafficking. And that's all based on suspicious financial transactions. That means money coming in and money going out, which necessitates third-party involvement. Yeah, which also means then that money coming in would obviously be from potentially perverts, okay? Right? Right. Sex buyers or, you know, I mean, it could be it's third party.

So and if it was a legal transaction from third parties It's something good to be blackmail. It could be any manner of things but you know, there was liability found because according to the court and the jury and that the the bank should have known that there was so much evidence the bank should have known that Epstein was involved in trafficking with others The bank should have known that Epstein was involved in trafficking with others. So if the bank should have known, that seems like there's information that could be prosecutable. Yeah, I would think so too. You know, Danny, I appreciate this.

So it's good to know that I'm not crazy. And I think there are a lot of other people that have been talking about this with me too. Are we just crazy or are we just nuts or did we not hear what we thought we heard on the campaign trail and everywhere else? And I don't think this is going away though. I don't think it's just going to go away by saying, why are we still talking about that creep?

And the thing is, this is one of the few misfires in my opinion. And I don't know where this goes. And you know, and the thing is, this is one of the few misfires, in my opinion. And I don't know where this goes. But I know when it comes to trying to crack down on sexual exploitation and child rape, let's call it what it is, you know, here. I would expect a little more transparency. And you're going to remain on this case, I would imagine? Oh, yeah.

I'll be following it closely. So if anything happens, I'd love to talk with you about it again. All right, very good. You have a piece out there about Epstein's case illustrating the need for sex buyer accountability. And like we just mentioned, there could be accountability just in the legal machinations that have already been done, you know, to pay off some of the victims. So and why that's not being looked at here. That could be the file on Pam Bondi's desk for all we know.

Right? Exactly. Where is that file? Yeah, it's not it's not like there's a file that says, you know, Epstein's pervert file. Here it is. Everybody with names and addresses and emails. It's not going to be something like that. Right?

Right. We expected the FBI to compile the list for us. Okay. Got it. All right. Danny, I really appreciate you coming on and talking about this. We will have you back if anything else breaks on this. And Danny Pinter, you can read up on her as Senior Vice President Director of the Law Center for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and sexualexploitation.org. Be well, thank you. Thank you.

protesters. Protesters clashing with federal authorities yesterday. Immigration operation north of Los Angeles. Marijuana Farm allegedly employing illegal immigrants. So we have illegal immigrants that are doing the work that Americans won't do to get our medication and being a little sarcastic, I know. Multiple agents arrived at the Glasshouse Farms, according to Fox News here, a state-licensed cannabis facility which is considered illegal under federal law in Camarillo. Federal authorities

had a warrant for illegal employees and boy, people seen confronting the agents using tear gas and smoke bombs, Fed personnel using gas to push back the protesters who got on scene after hearing word of a raid, military helicopters flying low over the fields. Wow. That ice getting pretty aggressive. That doesn't necessarily upset me. What about you? Also another aspect of federal law, this coming out of the Daily Signal right now, there's a lot going on in the Trump administration.

Like I said, we were talking about the Epstein thing, that's a misfire, but there is other action elsewhere. Federal government's protection agency, the biggest protection agency there, is now going to be investigating the trans-industrial complex. The transgender racket. Well, back to their nervous over at OHSU, because OHSU does a lot of transgender surgeries. Hmm. But anyway, there was a workshop highlighting stakeholders' horror stories about being turned trans. You're told it's going to be okay, everything's not okay, you're gonna be a permanent medical patient, you know, that sort of thing. And so the Federal Trade Commission is getting involved with this. So a day-long workshop called the Dangers of Genderffirming Care for Minors. And they were hearing from parents and patients to determine whether the transgender industry has deceived families.

Now, this was in an article in The Daily Signal, which is from the Heritage Foundation. I think they gave, this is a quote, I think they gave a lot of extremely alarming and concerning information that absolutely gives us the basis to investigate to fill out the entire legal framework that we would need to pursue a case, according to Meader said. There's a lot of things that need to be verified, dot the i's, cross the t's, that sort of thing he explained, but I think that what we saw today gave us the basis to start investigating and determining how and where there have been violations.

And the statute that created the Federal Trade Commission authorizes it to investigate and prevent unfair or deceptive practices affecting consumers. And so they're looking at this as the, you know, the trans world. Oh, your kid claims that, you know, if we don't cut the genitalia off, that they're going to commit suicide, you know, that sort of thing. Well, guess what? A lot of times they commit suicide after they whack it off too. It's true. You look at this, the underlying mental illness is still there. And just because you're presenting differently doesn't cure the mental illness necessarily. Things like that you could see them doing. I would be very, if I were concerned, if I were over at OHSU, I would be very nervous. If I was in that trans section of OHSU, I'd be very nervous about that. We'll see where this ends up going. Another story here, a couple of military stories here. Pete Hegsef calling for extensive reforms to Pentagon drone buying practices.

They're trying to get rid of the regulations and make it a lot easier. He says, while our adversaries have produced millions of cheap drones before us, we were mired in bureaucratic red tape he said it's a video we posted on X last night they want to bolster US drone manufacturing deliver thousands of low-cost systems to military units oh wait a minute Pete Pete Pete oh my gosh you're gonna lose the support of the defense industrial complex the idea is to have expensive drones. You can't do it cheap. You do it cheap, then it might be affordable. I mean, who's gonna... I know, who's gonna... who's gonna recycle that money into the Democrats and the

Republicans' campaigns? But yeah, that's what he wants to do. And also, another order coming down. They're going to tighten up. Air Force has updated their uniform standards, this in taskandpurpose.com, along with Military Times. Air Force wants to see boots that are high, eyelashes that are real, and officers ready for combat, or at least they have the right uniform. And so no longer, no short boots. I guess the Air Force has been doing these short

kind of sneaker boots nope they got to have combat boots like everybody else they now have to be between eight to twelve inches high short combat style boots as well as sneaker style boots no longer allowed under the new air force rules and no more fake eyelashes. Eyelash extensions now prohibited and now they have to have... Let me call this... it's never in the Air Force but they have to have... oh here it is. This is what I was looking for. I thought this was interesting. In February the service did away with the identifier patches in an array of previously allowed nail polish colors. They tightened up male hair and shaving standards and returned to the long absent definition of a gig line.

The vertical alignment of your fly, your belt, and the edge of your shirt. So they're going to look more military-like. Instead of looking like the island of misfit humans within more military-like instead of looking like a, well, the island of misfit humans within the military-industrial complex. So there we go. I think that's pretty interesting news coming out of the military and Pete Hegseth. Jane, I think you are finally back. You can say something.

What's going on? OK. What I was wondering about, and the doctor was on yesterday... Yeah, by the way, he was not a doctor. Scott Miller was his name. He was a former pediatric doctor's assistant. That was his official title there. But yeah, he was medically trained though.

Okay? Well, he was more of a doctor than a lot of them. But anyway, uh, point well taken, the measles that are going around the country, if I remember correctly, at one time they had to allow, according to the idiot, they had to allow sick and measles, illegals into the country and when they were in, they passed the measles around.

I have... That is not the way it's been related to me that the measles outbreak down in Texas or New Mexico. Is this what you're referencing, Jean? Yeah. I believe that had to do with people that, were they Mormons or were they Mennonites or some group that was not really big into the vaccine industrial stuff.

I think that was what was going on down there. Now, there may be, now I have no doubt though, there's plenty of illegal aliens coming over here that probably have some communicable diseases. No doubt. No doubt. Well, when I was growing up, I got measles three years in a row. We didn't have vaccines for that. Uh huh. And it didn't kill me. Well, but you see, I think that's the takeaway though. They're making a big deal right now. 1,300. 1,300 measles cases. In a country of 340 million,

that is a rounding error for crying out loud. I think we had 1,300 measles cases just in my neighborhood back in the 1960s. If we were to look back at that. What about you? Yeah, it didn't kill you. It ruined my Christmas three years in a row. But so you got measles three times in a row? Really? And each time it would get closer and closer to our Christmas holiday.

Yeah. Did you really have measles though? Because I had measles and I ended up getting the wild measles immunity. I had it, didn't have it since then. I'm just wondering how you managed to get three bouts of the of the measles? Well, I think they wanted to make sure I didn't have Christmas that year. I think we would go into a school next in the next town and we would see Santa Claus and we'd get a bag of candy and fruit life wasn't the role I missed that because stupid measles life wasn't fair was it Jean no it wasn't it was mean yeah was he in jail if there was no lift? I think it's one of the things where everybody knew what was going on.

It looks like everybody knew what was going on, really, Jane. Everybody. Everybody knew what was going on. And I think ultimately what people don't want to talk about out in the open is that the big and powerful want to make sure that the big and powerful stay big and powerful. And if you had intelligence agencies that were out there getting dirt on them so that they would be controllable and less than big and powerful, needless to say they're going to do everything they can to shut that up, including getting in touch with the administration's people, I guess.

I don't know. I appreciate your call though. Let me grab another call. I think this is Dave before news time. How are you doing Dave? Go ahead. Yeah, I got informed by a good source that the big excavators and the big dump trucks, it's so they can dig holes along Juniper Creek. They've got laid out big Juniper treaties they're getting ready to plant.

Okay, now, this is over by the Iron Gate, right? Or what used to be the Iron Gate? Right, this is all Juniper Creek over here by the Iron Gate. Juniper Gate, okay. Now, that sounds like the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and here's why. I mean, the whole idea about juniper trees, they suck water like crazy. Why would you plant... Yeah, dry Ginny Creek out.

Yeah. Why would you put junipers there? I mean, my goodness. I don't know. They should be planting willow or cottonwood. Yeah, if I were in charge of my benevolent dictatorship, I would ban the planting of juniper around here. Because we're a relatively dry Mediterranean climate, and those things... and if you ever try to get juniper out of the yard, oh my gosh, you know,

get a cement mixer with a chain and you'd still probably break the chain getting it out sometimes, you know? Well, I don't understand it at all because it's a big fire hazard because not all those trees will grow. Some of them will die off. But anyways, you know, like organs passed a law that you can't plant a juniper tree at all. Oh, really?

So I guess the trees that I had in my old house in Jacksonville, the juniper bushes down there, those must have been just old ones brought in years ago, right? All right, I think we lost Dave. All right, Dave, appreciate the call though. Junipers? By Jenny Craig? Does that make sense? Wow.

This is KMED, KMED HD1, Eagle Point, Medford. KBXG, Grants Pass. We'll catch up on the rest of the nonsense too. Then Mr. Outdoors with even more nonsense this time about fire behavior. When it comes right down to it.
