The Bill Meyer 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. Here's Bill Meyer. Mr. Outdoors here for a special pre- Thanksgiving, Turkey Day, travel, where all the fun is. We'll even talk a little Bigfoot, too. I'm feeling a little sheepish about that, but I'll explain why a little bit later. But the Outdoor Report is sponsored by Oregon Truck and Auto Authority on Airway Drive in Metford.

And, of course, Greg Roberts, rogueweather.com, actually pretty calm, pretty mild for around here. Not a lot of drama, I guess, Greg. What do you say? What's happening, huh? Yeah, no. Practically none. And, of course, this morning, we've got those clouds pushing overhead. We have a weak front that moved through.

That broke the cap in the atmosphere, and thus, no fog in the valleys this morning, too. So, honestly, today is the biggest ground travel day of the year without any question. And down here in this part of the world, Southern Oregon, Northern California, pretty drama-free in the weather, thankfully. So, yeah, two weeks ago, there was some question about it being very stormy. There was some indication it was going to be. and now, not only is it not stormy now, unfortunately for Mount Ashland and the other ski areas, winter play, snowmobilers, yeah, not looking very good right now because we just don't see anything major coming up in the next three weeks for sure.

So what is great for travel, for grandmother's house, you know, that kind of thing, or, you know, heading out to family and coming back, that's great. But when it comes to winter sports, not so good. Well, are we looking? So good. And, you know, we haven't even hit winter yet, honestly. Seasonal winter, or, you know, actually what I'll say is meteorological winter. We'll hit next Monday, December 1st.

Seasonal winter, of course, is still over three weeks out. And yet I'm already seeing people online popping off about what a disaster this winter is. Well, actually, this later portion of fall has turned very dry. So pretty safe to say that the fall started off with a bang and then fizzled. We're going to see what winds up happening as we reach the end of December going into January. We've seen years like this before. And when rain and snow really does decide to come, it comes in a bunch in a hurry. Yeah, Mel, are we looking at still the overall controlling authority of our weather,

you know, if you want to call it that a la Nina pattern, which is a colder, wetter, snowier? Yeah, it's a weaker one to be sure, but yes, there is a la Nina out there, which historically is going to give you colder conditions, wetter conditions. Right now, well, we also are in one of these lulls that can hit at any time, and we'll see what winds up happening when we push down into late December, getting into January and February. But like I said, we are in a lanina, and there's still that polar vortex oscillation thing out there. That's another factor in play.

And in the past, the most notable thing, I think most people can remember that a polar vortex oscillation helped contribute to was the January, 2nd 2017 snow bomb that hit Jackson and Josephine County. Yeah, that was a lot of fun, though. I remember, I know that it was so pretty there. It was like feet of snow, right? The daughter was delighted with an extra week of Christmas vacation because that hit just before the kids were due to go back to school and the kids got an extra week of Christmas

vacation. She was not, however, very delighted when extra days were tacked on at the end of the year in June. Well, there's always a penalty to the early fun. Well, there's always money to be made by having kids in school. And when you're the Medford School District, and you only allow for, I believe it was three snow days a year. When you get more than that, and we obviously did in 2017, you start tacking them on at the end. of the scheduled school year in June. All right.

Let me ask you then, what are we looking at for free stuff going on this weekend? Because there is a free fishing weekend, right? Yeah, well, and it's not exactly the weekend. What they're doing is Black Friday and Saturday. So the other free fishing weekends are normally Saturday-Sunday things. This time, they want to try and encourage families to get out as big groups and go do fishing, so they do Friday and Saturday, figuring more families are going to be traveling on Sunday. Makes sense.

And I understand that logic. I truly do. So what happens is you do not have to have a license with you. You don't have to have the tags with you that you would normally have, say, if you're going salmon and steel lead fishing. But everything else applies. All the rules, regulations, especially when it's legal fishing time. bag and possession limits, which, for example, five trout a day for a bag limit, and then you also have size restrictions. You've got to obey those regulations. But, you know, the big thing that most people have identified that, you know, keeps them from enjoying fishing in the outdoors

in Oregon is the cost of the license and the tag. So ODF and W will take care of that for you for Friday and Saturday. All right. What is the, by the way, are people, or are there still idiots using to each up for bait, things like that going on? I, you know, I would sure hope not, but I've already learned that in spite of whatever regulations are out there, there's definitely people that are still doing it. I never underestimate people's ability to be completely stupid.

That said, we have not. seen the reproliferation of chubs in Diamond Lake and Fish Lake, which are the two lakes where they were the biggest issue. And I truly believe that's because of those things in the water at both lakes now that are going after the chubs that get dumped out at the end of a day's fishing. The tiger trout in both Fish Lake and Diamond Lake are doing exactly what it was hoped they would do. And then they added a second layer at Diamond Lake and put browns in there, and they're sterile males. As it turns out, tiger trout, which are a combination of brook and brown trout,

they're naturally sterile. So they're not too worried about these things getting outside of the lakes and reproducing, but for what they're intended to do, eating two-e chubs, they are definitely succeeding at that. All right, glad to hear it. So, by the way, before we take the break and talk other things, too, are you doing Black Friday sales? Just curious. Do you do that, Mr. Outdoors?

I don't even, in fact, the last marriage, being forced to go out at 2.30 in the morning on Black Friday was literally one of those deciding factors. I wish nothing but a pox upon whoever created that. Remember last week we were talking about how, when we were. We went to school. Today was the last day of school, and it was a half day before Thanksgiving vacation. Yeah, there was none of this one week off or, you know, several days before Thanksgiving. It didn't happen, no. No.

And whatever idiot created Black Friday ruined the truly greatest sleep-in day of the year because you were all tripped a fan combed out. You could sleep in until 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, and nobody thought a thing about it. and then the family got together and you played football or you played basketball or you played board games and Friday, day after Thanksgiving, was truly wonderful and then Black Friday hit. Gosh, you know, I tend to look at this differently. I always have enjoyed Black Friday. I just don't know if there's a point to it as much because, you know, they start the Black Friday sales three, four weeks prior and, you know, all the online stuff. But on the online, though, you'll see, quote-unquote, Black Friday specials popping up your round now.

And that actually delights me a bit that, you know, that Black Friday thing of, you have to get up and you have to get to the stores to get these special deals. That's been blunted a little bit. Yeah, I think so. But I kind of like it. I like going out because I tend to wake up early even. Of course, I'm doing less of that this year. It's been a pretty busy year. but, you know, normally waking up at five is no big deal for me, and if there's something

cool, but, you know, the problem, and I talked about this on Facebook last night, Greg, my problem is, and I know it's a bit of a sickness. I have plenty of tools. I don't really need any more tools, right? I have plenty. Yeah, you look on my workbench, and I have practically everything that I need, but yet it'll still be like, oh, my gosh, here's a DeWalt or a Milwaukee. or a cobalt or a, you know, whatever it is.

And it's a drill driver set, and it's got more, you know, more bits. It's like 150 bits in it and a sawblade kit and all this stuff. And it's only 1495 for a doorbuster. So you've got to be there, you know, early, you know, for that. And you are the closest thing legitimately to a Tim the Toolman Taylor I've ever met. And if you just started throwing in, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah. At the end of your, you know, little monologue there about how much you delight in your

toolkits, I mean, you'd have it nailed. Yeah, exactly. And yet, I'll be the first to admit, I don't need any more of these things. And yet, there's still a part of me, it's just like, avert your gaze as you're walking past the doorbusters. I can't help myself. The only one of those type of things I've ever wanted is the DeWalt AR-15 style nail driver. now that. I'm like, oh, there we go. That I would definitely love to have.

Oh, you got to love that. Oregon Truck and Auto Authority, the sponsor of the Outdoor Report. And we'll have more with Mr. Outdoors here in just a moment. And because I was going off, hey, we got to talk about this FBI report that was released. I was wondering if it was a Cash Patel thing. Set me straight. We'll do that next on the Bill Maher show. Oregon Truck and Auto Authority is the road. Hi, I'm Laman from Orleans, and I'm on 106.7, KMED. 727, Mr. Outdoors. Greg, Robert's continuing this morning. And Greg, I ended up telling you,

well, you've got to talk about the release of this FBI Bigfoot report. And it was fed to me in my news feed. And I went to the source, and I'm printing it out. It's like 20-something pages. I'm thinking, well, Cash Patel did this. While he was trying to ward off all the calls that he's going to be thrown out of all. office here pretty soon. But tell me what actually happened with this, because there was a

bigfoot connection with the Oregon Bigfoot people. Yeah, and you brought that up, and I'm like, wait, what? Because obviously, well, most people don't know they should. In addition to all the titles I wear, Mr. Bigfoot is one of those here locally. And I was like, how did I miss this when I saw your text to me last night? So I started investigating, and I started digging. and then found out this is a classic example of how nothing ever dies on the Internet. And in a slow news cycle, which we actually have, things can get regurgitated out of the past. And this is looking at the source for the current bubble up, it shocked me, popular mechanics. Yeah, and that's what I had mentioned, popular mechanics.

They put it out there, and I thought, I didn't even know popular mechanics still existed. but uh honestly neither did i and then when i realize what the source is that you're referring to i'm going man how slower things for the things popular mechanics would normally cover that they regurgitated this but this was a legit story back in 2018 and there is a southern nor seven years ago seven years ago i felt like a fool for even sending it to you're telling you about it now but oh well no it's okay i mean because let's talk about it because i don't remember that we did when this actually did come out. Yeah. And there is a definite Southern Oregon tie to it. Now, the first way I knew this was a regurge was they're still referring to

Peter Byrne, who is the guy who worked with the FBI, sent them some hair samples. They're referring to Peter Byrne in the present tense. Peter Byrne has passed away. Oh, okay, good to know. was the first thing that caught my attention. And then I go back and I start looking at the dates of when all of this was released. And 2018 kept coming up over and over again. I'm like, how did I not hear about this in 2018? Plain and simple, FBI decided, all right, we're going to look into this Bigfoot thing. Peter Byrne had sent them some samples and said, hey, you guys have better labs than anybody else in the world. Tell us what we have here, because we believe it's from Bigfoot. Well, FBI did that. I truly believe what the FBI did, though, was they farmed the workout to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Forensics Lab in Ashland. And they're the ones who probably actually did the analysis on it. And they said that what Peter Burns sent to them was deer hair. Yeah, deer hair and from the deer family is what the report said.

Exactly. In knowledgeable Bigfoot people who have collected hairs, they're not. not going to get sucked in by that because we see deer hair all the time. So I think there is still a government cover-up. The former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Forensics Lab told me directly personally they do indeed have four hair samples of something they cannot identify. It is coming up both primate related and Homo sapien related, but they can't match it because, well, they don't have the source to work from, meaning they don't have a body. They don't have a genus type. In other words, they've not seen it before. Exactly.

But I did get an admission from Ken Goddard that, yes, that lab in Ashland has. has four samples of something that they can't identify. Interesting stuff you would have thought after all those years that there's nothing that they couldn't identify there. Right. So the Southern Oregon connection here is in the 1970s there was a rash of Bigfoot encounters across Jackson County, and Peter Byrne was home-based in the Dalles, and he was literally running all over the Northwest, chasing encounter reports. Well, when this swarm in Jackson County developed, along comes Peter Byrne.

He starts looking into everything directly here, especially out around Willow Lake. Willow Lake had an incredible amount of reports over about a three-year period from 1971 to 74. In the midst of that, Peter comes here, starts investigating it, and then the concept for a bigfoot trap enters his mind. And because it was such a hotbed of current activity, he decides he's going to put his bigfoot trap in here in Jackson County. Now, isn't that the one that's out on the way to which lake is it on the way up to? Above Applegate. Yeah. Yeah. There's a trail. You can go see the Bigfoot trap to this day. Yeah, I took the kids to see

that Bigfoot trap back when they were, well, back when they were young children. And, And, of course, my son is like, you know, he's like freaked out about it. He didn't want to see Bigfoot at that time. Well, no, and, you know, the funny part was he was right on the verge of putting that thing out there near Willow Lake. And then he got a whole new rash of sightings out in the Applegate near the little town of Copper, which is now at the bottom of Applegate Reservoir. And he gets out there, and he determines that there is definitely Bigfoot. activity going on fresh bigfoot activity and decides to change his mind on where he's placing

the trap and he put it where you can go to see it to this day now they ended up um barring that or stopping it from actually being a trap right i think it's uh like held open isn't it yeah because um the triggering mechanism for the thing you know first of all it it's really kind of funny to think that anybody ever thought that was truly going to work and trap a big foot. The only things it did successfully trap, two bears, and one very

confused hippie, according to the report written up by the Forest Service, and after it caught the human, they said, no, we're going to disable the triggering mechanism, but thankfully they left the trap out there. And it is definitely a draw

and attraction. You said, you took your kids out there. I've been out there several times and you wouldn't see it. It's a pretty fascinating thing, and people literally do come from all over the world. If they're into Bigfoot at all, and they come to Southern Oregon, on top of everything else they're doing, they're going out to go see the trap. Is that still a relatively hot spot for Bigfoot activity? Without any question. Okay. Yeah, there's ongoing activity out there. In fact, I got to know these people who actually found me because of us talking about Bigfoot.

And then they came to one of the talks that the sportsmen show. They have a landlocked piece of private property out there above Applegate Reservoir. It's enclosed pretty much everything around it is Rogue River Sisku National Forest, except their piece of private property. And they've actually invited me to come out and get on their property, which is still something I intend to do because one of these days I'm also going to get my hands on a thermal game cam

which is made by a company in Eugene and when I know I've got a spot where I don't have to worry about those things growing two legs and walking away, I want to deploy those. Well, that property is exactly what I'm looking for and it has very frequent ongoing activity. You know, they tell me that about the only time they don't have activity happening at their place as if it snows a lot,

and then they definitely descend down to lower elevations to try and get out of the snow. But if they're not having heavy snow, they said they've got Bigfoot groups coming through their property all the time if there's no heavy snow. No kidding. Well, I would appreciate hearing what happens when you finally set that up. So Mr. Outdoors, thanks for setting me straight. Didn't mean to take you down a, well, the Bigfoot rabbit hole, as it were.

Well, no, like I said, I'm actually, I'm glad you brought this up. We let everybody know, hey, this is a regurg story. However, it does have a really cool Southern Oregon connection to it. Indeed, because, well, that's just the way we are. Thanks, Greg. Have a great weekend, and I guess I won't see you at the Black Friday sales, but we'll catch you for Friday next week. No, definitely not, but, hey, if that's your thing, I wish you a lot of fun. We're not going to have any serious weather impact.

We may have some fog on Friday morning, but enjoy how you want to enjoy. My enjoyment will be sleeping in and then continuing to overdose on tryptophan and also enjoying football. Sounds like a good plan. Thanks, Greg. We'll see you next week. You got it, Bill. Catch you then. All right.

Welcome to the Bill Myers Show on 1063, KMED.

Give Bill a call at 541-770-5633. That's 770 KMED. 743 Here it is day before Thanksgiving We can always talk about Some things that you feel thankful for I just wanted to Just do a shout out

Medical Eye Center Had mom there Gone back for the last couple of days She's going to have her second cataract Removed next week But man I got to tell you Yesterday she went in Took her in for the follow-up

And she's reading the script On a television screen out there in front She hasn't been able to do that in months because things got so rough. Now, I don't know how perfect or how well her vision will be restored, but it's already, she says, I can't believe how much color there is in everything, how much she's been missing. So I'm thankful for that.

I'm thankful that there was a system in place here. And frankly, the capitalistic slash medical system in this particular case, you know, a great benefit and restoring site for people. And I've just been a big fan of that. Of course, a lot of these doctors, you also see other medical doctors that go overseas and will just line people up and help them with a cataract and eye surgeries. I know dentists here in Southern Oregon that do the same thing, go out there and help people with the dental problems and deformities.

And I just really appreciate what they're doing, everybody. And my mother will actually be able to see the turkey dinner this time. I'm looking forward to it. Kind of curious, how do you deal with Christmas gifts? Because Linda and I have, as time has gone on, you know, we're not kids anymore. But when it comes to gifts, we're like two-year-olds. We get a gift for the other. Oh, it's not going to wait until Christmas.

It does not wait until Christmas. It immediately is given. Oh, there's one of your Christmas gifts. Oh, it's a my pillow. I got a my pillow. I wanted a new my pillow because we have a king-sized bed. Now I wanted a king-size-my-pillow. There may be no kings-in-the-white house,

but we have a king-size head in the bed, right? And so Linna got me one of those. And the thing is, she got me a good my-pillow. She did not get me the Scalia, the Entonescalio, my-pillow model. You know, the one that ended up being on his face when he was found dead in bed. I still don't understand how that story ended up just kind of sinking out of sight. Remember when he was found dead in Texas, a number of years ago, former Supreme Court Justice? It wasn't a money pillow brand, but we've always joked about that.

Okay, you'd be good guy, Bill, because otherwise you get the Antonin Scalia pillow. Laughing, but it's not really funny, right? It's another one of those JFK kind of things. I still don't understand that story. I really don't. But that's a conspiracy theory, Thursday thing. And so gave Linda her gift yesterday, one of her gifts because she had talked about, she finally, she's not a big appliance person. She's not a big appliance person, but she finally said she wanted one of those big stand mixers like the KitchenAid stand mixers.

Right. So I found her one and gave it to her. And you say, here it is. I got it. Here it is. We're not waiting until Christmas. But, of course, the thing is, Thanksgiving, these are tools of the trade. She wants to make biscuits and all those other things, got the bread hook and all these other things.

You know, she'll do more of that and less kneading. So I'm looking forward to it because we're going to have biscuits, homemade biscuits, and kneaded by the KitchenAid big dough hook or something like that. So she's not a big appliance girl, but she wanted that one. That's all right. She's great. I'll tell you how it works out. Morning, hi, who's this? Good morning, Bill, it's Lauren, not in Eagle Point.

Lauren, how are you, buddy? I'm doing okay, but I wanted to say something. From something you talked about an hour ago, I was out walking. Sure. And that has to do with military personnel deciding whether or not they should do what the commander tells them to do. And so I have a differing opinion from you. Okay. And that is after being, I was in Marine Corps six and a half years.

I was never in combat, though. I want to say that up front. I'm a Vietnam-era veteran, though. But here's the deal. One of the things about being in the military, and I know you haven't been, is that you have to make a commitment to follow what that sergeant says to you, and you've got to do it. Don't say why. You say how high when they tell you to jump.

No, I agree with that. And yet at the same time, uniformed military, Code of Justice says that you must follow lawful orders, which also implies that you do not have to follow unlawful orders. But who makes the decision whether it's lawful or not? That's what I'm trying to talk about. One of the things is, in the Marine Corps, we were, of course, that's a brainwashing situation. I know that.

And that was a long time ago, you know, 58, 9, no, 70 years ago, anyway, now that's in material. And so basically, that's what I want to say, though. military have to follow what the commander says or the sergeant says or lieutenant says, and you don't even ask, is that lawful or not? But you see, I understand the purpose of it, but it also strikes me as nonsense because we know what happened to Lieutenant William Ciley. There is no such thing as just following orders.

Yeah. Because that's what he, that was what he would say. Well, I was just following the orders. And this presumption of lawfulness, to me it's just total nonsense. and, you know, otherwise, it just strikes me as, okay, well, if there are war crimes, we'll try to fix it in the mix afterwards. I don't get that, though, Lauren, and you're right, and maybe I wouldn't have made a very good military guy for that reason, okay?

Yeah, you wouldn't have lasted long in boot camp, I'll tell you right now. Probably not. Yeah, so anyway, but maybe I want to just, I was walking, like I said, and got home here and waited for you to get through with the wheels up, and, and, and, and, I'm And the good stuff about Bigfoot. So thank you for that. All right. I want to wish you and your mom, a wonderful Thanksgiving.

And I wish you a happy Thanksgiving, too, Lauren. Thank you for the call. We will agree to disagree on that. 7705-633. Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? Hey, Bill.

This is Jake. Hi, Jake. You and Greg brought to mind a pretty funny story. It's kind of Bigfoot related. What's that? Two timber fallers. working up Birdsy Creek, they're both deceased, was John Winters and a guy named Fred. Fred was the older one, and he's actually allegedly responsible for putting Happy Camp on the map

because he made a big foot stamp and walked it across the road and kind of started Happy Camp on their sky squash thing. But anyway, these two timber fallers are working near a draw up Bursey Creek, and the older guy not being hearing and get wind up hung up a few times and John gets called over to cut him out and then the last instance he's he says there's a green suburban that appeared down at the bottom of the draw on the road there and and he's going to have to throw this big pine straight down so it didn't break and would you go down there and tell those guys to move that truck. By the time I went down there and got him to move, I'd be back here. I wouldn't be able to get anything done. Right.

I know I'm not going. So the guy, Fred, throws the big pine down the straight down the draw, and it does its warble and weave going all the way down, is it going to make it to that truck? And sure enough, it made it to that truck, and the tip must have gone just underneath the truck and the truck did this little bit of jump and then and then a whole bunch of hippie bailed out of that truck smoke rolling out so they were taking a smoke break in the national forest at that time huh uh forest service green so i don't know if it was forced service or not but all all forest service green i didn't think about that yeah the uh yeah but but of course you know we used to have more

trucks back in the day. Have you noticed how dull all the colors have got in these days? Yeah. All right. Hey, great story. Thanks for that, Jake. 7705-633. Disturbing the smoke break here. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello?

Hey, this Bill. Brad, how you doing? Hey, brother. Now, if I had only known it was you, I would have had your theme because, once again, the SLM. Sorry, dude. Slovenian Lives Matter. Once again, what's on your mind? Hey, is your mom ever had Petitza?

Of course she's had Petitza many times. You want to bless your mom. You can find it on the Internet. It's Strawberry Bakery in Cincinnati. They make like eight different kinds of Petitza, and you can choose the one you want. A little expensive, 25 bucks, I think I love. But they're great.

They get it shipped to you a pretty cool. quick. Well, I've been kind of, you know, musing or talking about actually making some, especially now we've got this big stand mixer. Maybe I can do that. What do you think? Yeah, you know, to give it a try, and I wanted to reflect on the military guy. Sure. I just talked to you. I have not served in the military, but I've been married almost 50 years. Well, you understand taking orders and not questioning whether it's a legal or lawful order, right?

Oh, absolutely. Okay. Sleep on the couch versus sleeping next to my mate, I often give in. Yeah, I understand, and you'll figure we'll talk about the illegality of the order later, right? And one other issue, because I'm so fascinated by the Bigfoot thing. You know, it didn't make the news because they covered it, but, you know, they caught a human in that trap up in that Sasquatch deal. Yes.

Yeah, it was Hillary Clinton. Oh, man, I'll tell you. Was that pre-plastic surgery or post-plastic surgery, Hillary? You know? Scared the hell out of the wild game guys. All right. Thanks, brother, Brad. Talk to you later.

You got it, brother. Some open phones here. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello? Yes. Is that Greg? Yes.

Hi, good morning. What's your name? Gregory. Hi, Gregory. Go ahead. Yes. Okay. Hey, we're going to be on the open line Friday.

It's on my phone, so that's why we're having it. I'm glad you found it. What's on your mind, Gregory? I'm going to go with collectibles. First off, for the holidays, I'm looking for a pair of Joe Biden's running shoes, two left feet. And my second question will be the award-winning trophies that you have over there for our fine local shops. Are they going to be able to be given away, sometimes like he gave away the old radios and different things like that after the November 28th, will the awards be able there to make yard art out of? Okay, what awards are you speaking of here?

I'm sorry, maybe I'm misinterpreting something here. You have one of the, what you call it, a commercial there, and it says the people in the magazine, the most nominated by Dusty's Transmission. Oh, oh, the Best of Southern Oregon Awards. I'm sorry. I thought I heard something about cops or something like that. But, all right. So what, are you hoping that we'll just give away the awards if people don't pick them up? Yeah, because that way I could, you know, use them as yard art.

Oh, okay. I'll ask the boss about that, Gregory. Okay? We'll look for you in December. Yeah, because I am not authorized to give away company property without authorization. But maybe we will. And if you want a fake award for your business, then we'll have. have it for you, okay?

Well, no, it'll go on the yard, and that way the neighbors will see it, and they might thought by dusties or something like that. All right, got a deal. Thanks, Gregory. Happy Thanksgiving. 770 KMED. Hi, good morning. Who's this?

Morning, Bill. Steve and Sunny Valley. Hi, Steve. Yeah, a couple of things you were talking about before wheels up Wednesday. The boats that they're blowing up, those people on those boats are mules. They're poor, but... No, no, no, no. They're narco-terrorists. I've been told by people in D.C., narco-terrorism. Narco-that's why when they survived, they sent them back.

They're being forced to do it by narco-terrorists, that's for sure. But I don't think they care about the people that are doing it as a deterrent. And we've been breaking the, you know, I don't know if it's against the law, but it's certainly against moral standards since 1804. So this is nothing new. It's not good. There's no excuse for it. It'd be great if we could get the guys who are actually doing it. But the other thing is they found oil off of a neighboring country,

and they are afraid that Maduro is going after that oil, and that's why our Navy is down there. Well, there's also the fact that even Venezuela, as it is, has a lot of proven reserves. So you can kind of see the chess pieces being moved right now, can't you? We've got another Gulf of Tonkin situation coming up. That's what we got because, you know, just like the weapons of mass destruction, the lowest common denominator is OIL. Could be.

I know the price of oil has actually been, it's been ticking upward, but it's been relatively in the doldrums this year. This hasn't actually been a great year for the price of oil overall. Well, it's dropping everywhere but the West Coast. Yeah, well, yeah, isn't that always the case, all right? Thanks for the call, Steve. Couldn't hear from you. All right. All right.

Now then, speaking of the price, price of gold is up another percent. Went up a good percent or two yesterday. Yeah, we're getting close to those all-time highs again. I think what is going on is, well, there's demand for it, and the banks are still buying it, and big money is still buying it, too. Hmm. Interesting. You know, Jerry had a story about gold that kind of,

makes the case. Let's see if I can find that. Oh, he was talking about how, you know, when there are sanctions or when people are screwing with you when it comes to the money, one of the things which ended up saving Russia right now has been the fact that they are not only just a big producer of gold, but a big seller of gold right now because, you know, they've been locked out of the international financial world because there's always somebody willing to buy your gold. Hmm. Something to think about with gold at 4165, maybe with silver or two, 5270, protecting wealth. Not that I want to say be like the Russians, that's not what I'm implying, but if you are

looking, though, to take some of your portfolio back up a little bit just in case, because even in spite of President Trump doing good things and people being very supportive of this and make America great and all the rest of it, you got 38, 39 trillion, is that really going to get washed out anytime soon? Maybe. and hopefully, and maybe we won't need golden silver for any kind of protection in the future. But for right now, I'm kind of thinking, yeah, maybe get some if you don't have any. Jay Austin and company, Golden Silver buyers in Ashland, and Ashland, and that's 1632, Ashland Street, and Ashland, 6th and G in downtown Grants Pass.

They'll help you on either side of that trade. Good people, one of my oldest sponsors, call them at 482, 3715, because business is busy right now. lots of churn in the gold silver markets. And right now we got silver almost getting close to its all-time high. Once again, maybe a sell-out a little bit, take a profit or two. Same with the gold. Hey, if you bought gold at 800, aren't you happy, right? You bought silver at eight.

Hey, Bill. This is mine. Dave. Hey, Dave, what's going on, buddy? Yeah, I just woke up. I slept in this morning. Good for you. I wanted to give you a little history.

You can look it up. Have you ever heard of the opium wars? Yes. In China with Great Britain and, you know, a coalition. So are you implying that the fentanyl and the cocaine is the modern-day equivalent of the opium wars right now? Yes. with us being the playing the part of the Chinese

No, I believe that the part that's playing this is the same old gang it would be the British Empire No, but I'm talking about us playing the game like the Chinese being the victims is what I was saying Oh yeah, yeah, right

We're like the Chinese being the victim and anyway I believe that the British the monarchy is behind this, like they've always been behind all the wars, and that it's really, we're just being used by the British Empire, and it's... See, that's your different theory, because, you know, because if you're on the other, on

some parts of the conservatives, it's always the Jews, there are other people, it's always the British. No, no, no. That's just the British using them is an excuse. Ah, okay, all right. Boy, those clever British. All right. Thanks for the call, Dave. And happy Thanksgiving, okay? You're going to get together with your brother, by the way? Just curious for Thanksgiving. No, I'm here all alone without transportation. Oh. Oh, your truck is still broken? Yeah, I need a transmission for it. Okay. What kind of transmission is it? Well, it's a 91 Ford 150. And, well, there's four different types, but it's got the overdrive. One in it?

Okay. Is it a two-wheel or four-wheel? It's two-wheel. Okay. All right. I'll keep it on the lookout, all right? All right. That'd be great.

All right. Thanks, Dave. Happy Thanksgiving, one way or the other, okay? KMED, KMED, HD, HD, Eagle Point, Medford. KBXG grants pass. The Jackson County Toys for Tots Toy Drive has begun. Hi, it's Megan McPherson, your local farmer's insurance agent. Mike?
