The Bill Myers Show podcast is sponsored by Klausur drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausor drilling.com. Brian's here. Brian, you want to talk about the potential recall in Joe County. Yeah, it hasn't been kind of bubbling under the surface there, right? Happened a few days ago. Yes.

As you well know, this organization, indivisible group, I guess they call it, the rogue individual group. is really added again with all their lies and all their fake agendas here. Okay. What kind of lies do you think the recall? And by the way, this is for Commissioner Chris Barnett and Andres Black. Correct? Correct?

Yes. Yes. Well, I was down at the farmer's market outside their tent listening to the lies while they're signing signatures for this recall or this petition. And Richard Flore went on and on and on with his group about how Chris Barnett robbed, well, trespass of the library system. That is a flat-out lie. How did Commissioner Chris Barnett rob the library system?

He was involved with negotiating the lease, wasn't he? I mean, that's all it was. Well, yes. And he wasn't even a commissioner when Herman Berchizer, and John West went after the 4H of OSU and the library system, the taxation of the library system. Okay, well, what are the recall of people saying, in your opinion, though? I'm just trying to find out, you know, what you were hearing. It's interesting.

I'm kind of curious to hear what claims are being made. Now, the thing is, though, in politics, you can lie with impunity. You're allowed to do that, Brian. I hate to say it, but that's the story, okay? And they won't acknowledge the fact at all that they're all involved in this, you know, this individual, whatever he call it, group, which is across the nation, and they're all denying the fact that it's funded by George Soros, right? They'll deny right now that they're actually recalling two Republican commissioners in Curry County right now. So if people can't see the agenda here, they're blind. All right. Well, I have a point of view on this, and I'm not doing any endorsement of, you know, a Barnett or a black.

The fact of the matter is, though, Josephine County has to let some people serve their term. You have to serve a term. You know, you don't go out there, in my opinion, seven, eight months after something comes in, unless you have dead-bang malfeasance crimes, things like that, that can be accused of. I mean, this is just insanity that Josephine County, frankly, Brian, tends to excel in insanity when it comes to local politics. Would you agree with me on that? It just seems to, there's some kind of virus over there for some reason. Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that Chris Barnett has done a great deal to help.

businesses and individuals such as our Park Watch Group, such as a lot... Yeah, that's irrelevant to the... That's irrelevant, though, to the recall. I mean, that's nice. That'd be fine. He could use that for a re-election campaign if he ends up surviving it. All I'm getting at here is that Joe County is out of money. Everybody knows that.

You know, the fat grant stream funding, it's gone for the most poor. It's a real challenge here right now. They've had to do some things. you may not even like some of the things that they've had to do. The point is, write it out, go through a term, and then by the time they end up coming to an end of a term, then you have an idea, you have no idea on a real way to judge this at this point with only a few months in that all of a sudden,

oh, man, we just got to throw everybody out again. There's this just bizarre kind of political bent. And yeah, it's probably based on some of the more liberal. rule Republicans teaming up with the indivisible types? I would agree with your conclusion on that. Well, yeah, I think their end goal here. Their major agenda is to turn a majority of Republicans in Gosven County into Salem. Yep. And that's their goal. All right. And so I'm hoping that they don't go for the bait because we have people that are in, in county commissions, city councils, all these other things. It's like all you're doing is,

fighting to stay in half the time. You can't even get any real policy reform going on. You have to give something time to actually be able to make a judgment of it rather than whatever every media outlet says about it. Just relax a little bit. Hold your breath and be wise about this. And that's, well, they're just looking for blood in the water right now. So I'll side with you on that.

Okay? All right, Brian. Appreciate the call. And we'll catch up on the rest of the news here coming up. and also happy to take your opinion on anything else here. We're also going to have a diner 62 coming up. That'll be a lot of fun. Give you a $20 gift certificate for that.

We'll be talking about how the changes are happening in HVAC. That'll be on Open for Business with Randall and a whole bunch more. 90s and triple digits cooling, though, 80s this weekend. I have to tell you this morning, getting out to the car, getting ready to come into the station. It was beautiful. It was humid. We'd had some rain overnight. It felt good.

tell you i'm looking forward to uh maybe seeing a shower or two uh coming in here it was a dry summer gosh the uh guess the what are the names of those you know me everything i touch when it comes to a plant dies unless i worked extra hard but uh the english laurels yeah we got english laurels in the backyard and uh they're kind of like a natural fence over you know by the fence that kind of thing and boy they were just they were so dry in the heat and normally those vehicles those plants they dig down deep, right? They dig down deep and they get the water. I ended up flooding them over the weekend. It was on vacation. It was just something.

Maybe we'll get some rain and I can turn off the flooding as it goes, okay? Other interesting things going on. Let's see. Oh, my gosh, the precious metals and commodities are going nuts in the market again. This has been going on here for several days, really. We're at silver, popping to $41. and 19 cents yesterday it was like $40 and 20 cents at the close something like that per ounce now it's not at the all-time high but it looks like the bull was just getting going on this one

and there is still a question about where a dollar in united states debt financing is going for the long term and i think that's why you're looking at gold gold has popped again it is at 3563 at the moment as we speak central banks are still buying it we have more countries that was reading have stocked up on gold or holding gold as a strategic asset rather than buying U.S. treasuries for debt. I was reading that yesterday. Meanwhile, you have the Trump administration yesterday putting out a order that makes silver a strategic mineral. This is very important one, and gold and silver are just on this run. Is it too late to get in? Is it too late to take your depreciating dollar and get some tucked away for wealth?

I don't think so. Just talk to our friends over at Jay Austin & Company, gold and silver buyers in Ashland, 1632 Ashland Street in Ashland, 6th and G in downtown Grants Pass. And if you're looking to either buy and or sell, because these are great prices if you bought low and you're thinking, hey, you know, I'd like to free up some cash. Either way, they'll help you. That's why we call them the recognized experts, long-term sponsor of the program. We appreciate their support, and we hope you'll support them, too.

Fortunereserve.com. Fortunereserve.com, better yet, just drop by, talk to Mark and Andrea. That'll tell you all about it, and they'll help you one way or the other. 1632, Ashland Street at Ashland, 6th, G. Grants Pass. This hour of the Bill Myers Show is sponsored by Fontana Roofing.

I don't know if you've had the opportunity to digest it or not, but the New York Times ended up saying that California, Oregon, and Washington

are now going to form a health alliance. Now, anytime I hear these three states especially are West Coast states teaming up and they're saying that we are going to form a health alliance to coordinate vaccine recommendations for the three states. Does that give you great confidence? I'd love to get your opinion on this one way or the other, yay or nay. But yeah, and what they're going to do, and I'm going to repeat here is what New York Times reported. ago. It's breaking news this morning. The alliance is intended to provide residents with scientific data about vaccine safety and efficacy. So they're upset, essentially, at RFK Jr., turning things upside down over at the CDC. And all these people that are leaving

the CDC apparently are convincing the governors of California, Oregon, and Washington. These were the same states, of course, that went all in on safe and effective, the same state that also made it next to impossible to be able to purchase alternative or prescribe alternative medications such as ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, things like that. Everybody had to go that wanted those. He had to almost go to the underground in order to get it. In fact, there was practically an underground railroad of ivermectin here in southern Oregon. I can guarantee that. I knew the people that were kind of involved in this one because you couldn't get it.

You couldn't get it. And yet there were all sorts of people, the FLCCC, the Frontier Doctors, they were talking about the amazing recoveries that people were having in COVID-19 by using ivermectin, zinc, vitamin E, D, rather, and all sorts of other alternative treatments. And they were having great efficacy with this without having taken the jab. Well, that would have completely trashed Pfizer, Moderna, and all the rest of them. And that could not be.

And so we have California, Oregon and Washington doubling down on that. Do you have an opinion on that one way or the other? I mean, maybe so. Maybe you think RFK Jr. is a crazy loon when it comes to his approach to making America healthy again. But the one thing he was doing that I did think was pretty good was that. If he wants to recommend a vaccine, he wants real trials. And people have come unglued over this. Because as it is right now, the way they compare or the way they'll test a vaccine right now is that they won't test a vaccine against a true placebo.

If they give you a vaccine for a test as part of a drug test, they test against another vaccine. And so if you're no better or worse than the other vaccine, then it's considered safe as if the vaccine is safe. But they're not putting it up against a placebo. You don't have a real placebo, which to me I thought was a real weakness in the way the United States would tend to approach this. But like I said, Congress and the regulatory states been bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry, in my opinion. I'm not the first person to think about this or assume it. But what do you think about the governors of Oregon, California, and Washington all get together and say, hey, we're going to be the ones that decide we're not going to pay, we're not going to pay attention to the CDC anymore because the CDC is changing.

Good plan? We're not. That's one thought on my mind this morning is breaking news from today. We can talk about that or other things. There is one question I would like to ask you this morning. Do you have any problem in all with President Trump? wanting to put the troops on the streets of America's worst cities right now. Do you see any downside to that?

Any downside to normalizing National Guard troops on the streets of American cities, even if there are high crime areas here? Any thoughts on that whatsoever? Are you perfectly all right with it? Maybe I can put it this way. if it was Joe Biden or Barack Obama putting the National Guard on the streets

would it give you pause we can flip it around either way yes my little civil libertarian gland is kind of looking over my shoulder just a little bit here maybe there's other ways of dealing with it maybe not

have to take your call out of one way or the other 7705663 good morning hi hello who is is this, welcome to the show. Hello? Hey, this is Tim. Oh, hey, Tim. How are you doing this morning? Good to have you on. Hey, pretty good. Thank you. What's on your mind, Tim? Oh, I thought this was for the quiz. Did I say we were doing a quiz? Oh, no. I'm sorry. Tim, I'll tell you what. I did say we were going to

going to do one this hour. Okay. I did say that. Yeah. Oh, so here it is. So it's bait and switch. You thought I was doing a quiz right now even before I got into it. Okay. Oh, that's okay. Tim, I'll tell you what. I'll put you on hold. Do you be the first one. Okay. You're the first one, then. Okay. All right. Well, that'd be great. Well, thanks for that. Assuming people like that $20 gift certificate, what can I tell you, Steve? Scooba Steve next door at the next studio. Let me grab a call. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Who's this? Good morning, Bill. It's Francis. I'll tell you, that is a devoted diner 62 person, you know, when they're doing that.

Yeah, I know. No, that was good. And I think that was really a nice gesture to put him on a hold because he was, you know, the guy really, he's trying. He's ready to go. He's working it hard. He's ready. He's got his fork and knife.

I know. Well, good for you. All right. What's up here? Well, yeah, I think putting the troops in cities, especially when they're mayors or whatever, we're all going out, we don't like it here and stuff like that. I think that's, well, for one thing, it's, you know, it's like a little bit of a precursor to a martial law kind of thing in a way. That was my concern, too, as much, even though I'm loving seeing things getting better in Washington, D.C., because Washington, D.C. is a cesspool pit of crime.

Having been there a few years, we all knew that at nighttime you did not go out on the streets of D.C. even by the Capitol, okay? I know. I mean, and that's one thing like where I live, you know, you don't go out at night because, you know, there might be Barron Cougar, but that's a little different. Yeah, yeah. We're not going to send in the National Guard for the Barron Cougars, at least not yet, I don't think. No, no, no. No, no, it's a little unnerving. At the same time, I understand it, but I don't think it's really appropriate. I think perhaps, even though it would probably take a lot longer to pull it off, they need to approach some kind of legal pressure on the people that are running the cities, that they're, you know, that, like, you cannot allow this kind of thing to go on, that you're not doing your job as a mayor or whatever. Yeah. Now, I know that the mayor of D.C. has actually ordered, or maybe it was the police chief there, has actually ordered them to cooperate with the feds because, you know, they are seeing good results here. And I'm glad to see the good results. Don't get me wrong about this. I'm concerned about where the precedent being set here plays out in a future because it's not always going to be a benign situation. We know what happens in the wheels of power. That's where I was kind of concerned. Well, exactly. That's my concern. You know, and I'm just real, I'm not comfortable with it. I don't think I, you know, I mean, where do you go with this, Bill? I mean, it's, right? It's kind of. Yeah, yeah. Do we want the dirt bags ruling the streets of D.C.? No, we don't want that either. But on the other hand, do we want to normalize that we're going to have National Guard troops on our streets to keep us safe, you know, because, you know, keep. Right. And no, that's another no. So I don't know.

I mean, it's all, everything that gets, that's going on is more, it gets pushing closer and closer for all the agenda 21 goals. And, you know, I mean, you can't deny that. You have to be able to see that that's what's happening. All right. You know. So. Well, I appreciate your call.

And thank you for making it, okay? You better. All right. You'd be good. Bye, Bill. See ya. All right. Now we're going to do the Diner 62 Real American Quiz.

You know how Tim's hanging on. He called early here. Let's do that next. and those third pound burgers, those amazing omelets. Gosh, I had an omelette a couple of weeks ago. It was like mushroom and cheese. Oh, it's just delicious. And if you get those burgers, make sure and get the upgrades to.

I think the upgrades are wonderful. Regular fries are fine, but you get the onion, you get the onion rings of the sweet potato fries, which are my favorite. Gosh, you're going to love that, okay? We have a great question from this week, the 1770s. Is it the, when is it? oh yeah, 1789. There you go. And we have a founding of a big agency, which is still around today. Get around to that. 7705-633-7-70 K-M-E-D. And we'll play it next. And if you haven't won it in the last 60 days, you can play. Getting ready for a... K-M-E-D. You're hearing the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED.

Diner 62 Real American Quiz. And I think we have Tim here. Hello, Tim. Oh, hi there. How you doing, Bill? Yeah, you know, the only person I've ever had on hold 15 minutes to play the Real American quits. All right. All right. Oh, by the way, everybody else who's on hold, that Tim doesn't make it. Make sure your radio is turned down because as we found out yesterday, bad things happen when the radio is left up, okay? Hey, it was yesterday in history.

September 2nd, 1789. United States Treasury Department, Tim, is founded. The institution's roots can be traced back to 1775. America's leaders are looking for a way to pay for the Revolutionary War, wars being very expensive. Their solution was to issue cash that doubled his redeemable bills of credit. They raised enough capital to pay for the revolution, or at least due part of it, but it also led to the country's first debt. They had a bunch of attempts to pay off the debt were tried, but the debt kept mounting. They must be still in control today, Tim. That's all I can say.

But war notes rapidly deflated in value. It's just paper. They didn't like it, right? So with the ratification of the Constitution in 1789, the American government established a permanent treasury. They were hoping of controlling this. George Washington names his former aide, Alexander Hamilton, too, had the Treasury. Former New York lawyer and staunch Federalist stepped in as Secretary of the Treasury, and he soon came up with a practical plan for reviving the nation's ailing economy. It was rough back then. The government would pay back its war debt and repair its badly damaged public credit.

Now, the question for the win, Tim, in Diner-62, how much was the United States war debt in 1789? Was it A, 1 million, B, 5 million, C, 25 million, D, 50 million, or E, $75 million. It's one of those five. Just give me your take. I think it was $5 million. It was $5 million. It was it $5 million. Man, I'm sorry, man, 15 minutes and you lose.

well call next time okay all right let me go to tom hello tom how you doing good to have you on all right thank you so it wasn't five million what was the actual war debt in revolutionary war times one million 25 million 50 million or 75 million what do you say i'm going to guess one million one million has a lot of money back then but not that much so good try all right let me go to Kevin. No, no, it's Jack. Jack is next year. Hello, Jack. How you doing this morning? Go ahead. Doing good, Bill. All right, so it's more than one or five million. So we got 25, 50, or 75 million. What was our war debt in 1789? 50 million. You're going to split the difference. Oh, Jack, I was pulling for you. All right, let me go to Kevin now. Hello, Kevin. How are you doing? Good, Bill. How are you? I'm fine. 25 million or?

for 75 million. What was the war debt for our fledgling nation in those days? 25 million. 25 million. Man, we're getting down to the end here. Let me hit another call. Thanks for trying, though. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hi, this Charles. Charles, 75 or 75? You win. We'll call it 75. Yes. You know, what a difference because I think $75 million today is probably what the state of Oregon paid for homeless needles in Jackson and Josephine County.

You know, you look right down to it, but it is the difference in value. After the war, the fledgling U.S. government did owe about $75 million to foreign and domestic creditors, and we didn't want to be deadbeat. So 1790, Alexander Hamilton consolidated the state's war debts into one big debt. But consolidating the credit card, I guess, is what he did. And he issued new government bonds to pay off the liabilities and establish our nation's credit worthiness. Finally paid off in 1835, so it took about 50 years to pay it off. Now, as the first secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton, established most of the centralized money institutions, including a national bank, before quitting in 1795. He then went back to the private sector and a law practice in New York City, but remained a close advisor to President Washington.

So interesting story, and you're going to Diner 62. So you hang on, okay? We'll have more of that coming up. We'll probably do another one tomorrow or Thursday. Skypark insured, skyparkins.com. At Skypark, we make insurance easy. This is News Talk 1063, KMED, and you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. Now, that's a jazzy little intro for Randall over an advanced air.

I advanced air. And it's open for business. How you doing this morning, Randall? Great to have you on. Hey, good morning, Bill. Thanks for the funky music. Yeah, yeah. Actually, you know who that was?

Actually, I don't know if you were ever into a big man jazz back in high school like I was because I was in stage band. But that was Maynard Ferguson. Maynard Ferguson. And we used to, in fact, he played here South Medford High School. I want to say back in 2006 shortly before passing away is a great time. So little little. Cool. Yeah.

Little side note. Now we'll put that aside. Now then. Now, you're open for business here, and myadvancedair.com, call 772-6866, and are we into fall maintenance season yet? I know it's kind of meteorological fall at this point, but is it fall for you? What do you think? Yeah, yeah, this hot weather, we keep getting, you know, 90s, triple digits here into September, which is not entirely unusual. So we get, you know, little splashes of summer still, but the trend is definitely downward, and we're seeing,

some fall weather here in the forecast next week. So we're definitely heading toward cooler temperatures, you know, shorter days. The heat isn't as long during the days. So people, if their equipment is failing, they're able to cool their homes down quicker and sooner. And, you know, if you've made it this far through the summer, you're probably going to make it through the rest with your current air conditioner. So that being said, we are getting more into scheduling pre-wind

maintenance. So we're talking about heating season already and scheduling those maintenancees out. And so our technicians are all over the valley, checking businesses and homes, making sure that their furnaces are ready, making sure that their heat pumps are in, you know, heating mode. And we can start thinking that way. Now, my system, it's an older system still working. I've been pretty fortunate about it. I was amazed even during the heat, the hottest of the season here. I was able to keep it about 72, 73. It's kind of unusual these days, isn't it? You know, the way things are sized.

I don't know how that, how I ended up lucking out. Maybe it's the house the way that the windows are. Some of that older equipment is really robust, and you can get 25 or 30 years, maybe even 35 years out of some of those older heat pumps, pretty robust equipment, good solid parts. The thing is you've got to maintain it. Yeah, God help me, though, if I had to get a compressor these days, right? Forget about it. It is more difficult. You know, some of that stuff is on R-22.

So the refrigerant is very costly, and if there's a leak, you know, you can be a couple thousand dollars into, you know, refrigerant alone on that, plus a compressor. So that's when it, you know, you've got to start thinking about replacement when you're getting into $3,000, $4,000 repair bills. And it's like, okay, well, as this thing lived its life, it's, you know, it's 30 years old. That makes sense, yeah, yeah, sure. At some point, you've got to replace. At some point, you've got to replace.

But you can actually help people with this because there's that balancing situation. Yeah, you could spend $3,000 or $4,000 to a repair a unit, but then you're still looking at, you still have a 25-year-old HVAC system, right? That's the downside. Yeah, and over time, it's interesting because you can look. There's some studies that show how older equipment gets less and less efficient over its lifetime. And so not only did it didn't start real efficient to begin with back, you know, 20, 30 years ago, it has degraded an efficiency over time. And so, you know, a new system should save you significant money on your utility consumption.

And if I understand that when you have the technicians come out from advanced air, is that they measure the current drawn. They're able to keep a record of that. You can actually demonstrate the lowering of efficiency with age, right? Yeah, absolutely. We have a pretty robust CRM platform where we document all of our maintenance visits and the performance data from the equipment from every system. And so we can trend what equipment is doing. And if something is mechanically, you know, faltering or failing, you know, we have documentation of that. We have videos of it. We have performance data and we can go to the homeowner or the building owner and say, hey, it looks like there's a problem here. You're drawing. more and more power. You know, maybe a compressor is going bad. You know, we need to get, you know, get an eye on this before it's, you know, more costly to repair

or replace. And or if it leaves you stranded during extreme weather, you know, we don't want that either. So it helps to have a maintenance agreement with us, whether you're a business or a homeowner. Now, you call that the comfort club, isn't it? Don't you call that the comfort club? Yeah, we sure do. Mm-hmm. And what do you get as being a member of the comfort club in my advanced area? Well, in my mind, the greatest value is you get priority service.

And so if your equipment goes down during extreme weather when it's really hot and you need AC or when it's really cold and you need heat, we give priority service to our comfort club members, whether you're a business or whether you're a homeowner. And so that's probably the greatest benefit, the greatest value. But then there's also other benefits such as discounts on repairs and parts. There's the documentation that comes along with being a comfort club member from all of our service visits. There's warranty eligibility. There's, you know, a number of other things that are also helpful along those lines. And you are also a factory authorized Brian Dealer.

That's what you deal with. And when you come out and repair units, you're not doing the – and I hate to the – put it this way, but, you know, you can go online, you can find parts cheap sometimes, Randall, but then you get them, you know, you'll get fan start capacitors and various other things, and you just realize they're just cheap as, it's just not good. You'll see stuff, it's just not good. You don't do that. Yeah, our preference is to install OEM parts from the factory. Occasionally, we'll find universal or generic parts as an alternative if the timeline

doesn't align with the client's needs or if the price is. advantageous. But yeah, once you start getting into generic brands and, you know, secondary market type parts, you know, we don't know where that's been. And it can be a lot of heartbreak and a lot of expense, you know, going down that path. It's not uncommon at all for us to be pricing against competitors. This is a very competitive business. When you're looking at HVAC proposals, whether it's for a service or a replacement proposal, you know, make sure that your contractor is factory authorized, whatever brand it may be, because then you have an accredited professional, and they're backed by a distribution chain and a factory.

And there's never been a time in which the distribution chain and the factory has been more important. You think about it if you go to like, I don't want to say fly-by-night, but I jokingly refer to as two guys, a pickup truck at a set of gauges, you know, kind of, that kind of units. They don't have that priority, and I got to tell you here, there have been times you hear about trying to get parts for some of the older units. It could just be a real heartache if you're not dealing with people with the context, I guess. Yeah.

So our factories and our distributors, they stand with us, and they make sure that we're delivering solutions to the client, and that's really valuable. And Bill, I've got to tell you, it happened. again last week. It's not uncommon at all for somebody to go with a cheaper price and to not have a warranty and to call us back, you know, months later and say, hey, it didn't work out very well. We've got to yard this out and start over. Oh, man, that's heartbreaking. It's really disappointing. Yeah, it's really disappointing to be a part of. And, you know, it might be that they went with a $6,000 system instead of a $10,000 system, but guess what?

Now they're paying $16,000 instead of the $10,000 up front. You know what I mean? And it's really disappointing to be part of that, but those calls happen more frequently than you'd expect. Yeah, especially when someone say, hey, I got a unit on Amazon. Yeah, I'm sure you did. Okay. And then they'll probably ask you to install the two, and you have no way to back that.

Nobody else could back it, really? It's just... Yeah, no, we don't install owner-up. provided equipment or parts. We don't work on on secondary, parts from secondary market, simply because parts that we buy from our distributors and that are factory built, they come with a warranty. And trust me,

I mean, you can run around in circles on some of this stuff. And like we were talking about, a lot of these parts aren't as robust as they were 20 or 30 years ago. You want a warranty. on your mechanical equipment. Absolutely. Let me tell you, I've known, I have a sister-in-law who's been going through the buying refrigerators problem and finding out for her rental property. Oh, my gosh, the story she could tell me about that.

It is different. So you have to deal with experts on this kind of thing. People who are plugged in. You've been here in a long time. You've got great people. Factory authorized. You have all that. Great deals available, too.

But the thing is, it's backed up. And that's really important these days. And the part, and the equipment is backed up typically by a 10-year or a 12-year parts warranty, which is really valuable. And then you can also get extended labor warranties along with that to match the factory incentive. So it's a good, it's a good program. Yeah.

Bill, you may have caught the disturbing news of an incident that happened last Sunday, plane carrying the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, targeted by GPS navigation jamming while trying to land in Bulgaria on Sunday,

a spokesperson tells CNN. The commission received information from Bulgarian authorities that they suspect this blatant interference was carried out by Russia. Yeah, so now the Russians are targeting Western leaders in civil air transport. It makes one's blood boil, criminals, those Russians, and don't get me started about Putin. But Paul raises an interesting question. Is it true? On X, you can find information on aircraft movement and flight details on flight radar 24, which reported the following, complete with a map of the flight route.

Flight radar 24 states, we are seeing media reports of GPS interference affecting the plane carrying laden to Bulgaria. Some reports claim the aircraft was in a holding pattern for an hour. This is what we can deduce from our data. The flight was scheduled to take one hour and 48 minutes. It took one hour and 57 minutes. The aircraft's transponder reported good GPS signal quality from takeoff to landing. Isn't that interesting, folks?

And Paul O'Pines, with good reason, is this another attempt at a tonking Gulf or Gulf of Tonkin incident, or more recently, Russians blew up the Nord Stream Gas Pipeline in the Baltic Sea event. Like a rancher who herds his flock into a pen, are we, in analogs fashion, hurried it into a pen of outrage by our overlords so that we will allow, yes, even encourage them to take whatever action they deem necessary. I guess that is a rhetorical question, Bill. It has happened and worked well with the people before.

news manufactured intentionally to mold the public opinion and mood for nefarious purposes. Never blindly trust what is presented as news, but certainly verify. Paul, I really appreciate that, and that's a thoughtful, that's why we give you an email of the day, okay? Grannie asks me, where I asked about, you know, trusting Washington, Oregon, and California, because they're now binding together to say, hey, we're going to decide what is a proper event. vaccine program in our states, because we don't much like our FK Jr., because he doesn't follow the conventional science, the same science that, you know, doubled down on safe and effective.

I'm being sarcastic there. A granny says, trust, trust the state of Oregon, California, and Washington. Just a laugh out loud. Okay, point well taken. All right.
