7:10 Kevin Starrett at Oregon Firearms Federation www.OregonFirearms.org with analysis on yesterday’s so-called “Ghost Gun” Supreme court oral arguments.
8:10 Kristen Pew and Phillip Yates are here from Rogue Valley Farm to School.
(Notes from Kristen follow about their mission)
Rogue Valley Farm to School has been a local non-profit for 15 years and originally facilitated farm field trips in the fall where students were able to harvest pumpkins. While we still provide this program to kids in grades K-2, RVF2S has grown into a leader in the Oregon farm to school movement and has expanded education programs that reach more than 5,400 students annually.
At Rogue Valley Farm to School, we take a multifaceted approach to teaching kids about local food systems and increasing the amount of local foods used in school meals. Our educational programs include weekly school garden classes, farm field trips, harvest of the month tasting tables, and, new for this year, family cooking classes.
Additionally, we work on local food procurement for schools. This looks like working to connect farmers directly with school nutrition directors by publishing a weekly availability list featuring food products from 22 local producers, providing logistics and delivery of the foods from the farms to the schools, holding hands-on training for school nutrition staff to become more comfortable scratch cooking, holding gatherings for school nutrition staff and local food producers to network, providing farms with assistance on grant proposals and schools with help navigating the federal and state grant programs for local food purchasing.

6:35 Gary Michael Voris – 40-year Emmy Award Winning Political News Veteran
Currently the Host of In Depth at Souls & Liberty, a Catholic, Patriotic, Conservative News Outlet
WEBSITE: www.SoulsandLiberty.com
Twitter: @SoulsandLiberty @Michael_Voris
We’re discussing “Replacement Theory”. Once chided by fact checkers and the Left as yet another crazy Conservative conspiracy theory, has now been proven true.
Are we being depopulated, and replaced? Senator Chuck Schumer admits it in his own words.
7:30 State Senator Dennis Linthicum – www.ElectDennis.com running as the GOP candidate for Secretary of State. Guess what, ANOTHER 300+ non-citizens found on the voter rolls. Dennis discusses the significance of this and the fight for election integrity and truth!
8:15 Sari Summerstom PhD, retired watershed expert and a volunteer at Scott Valley Agriculture Alliance, AgWa – www.scottvalleyAgWA.org
Dr. Summerstom talks today of what REALLY is happening, the side effects of the Klamath Dam removal. Currently 1% of the Chinook have returned in the Scott Valey. The return is delayed or perhaps not going to happen, due to the extreme sediment levels in the water, removing/ reducing the level of oxygen in the water because of the Dam removal. This is happening now for the Klamath Fall Chinook run 2024 . The media is only covering the slanted spin of Spring Chinook run in the future. The Fall Chinook is valuable so that the Salmon return in the years to come. With out spawning the fish won’t come back.

These Ten U.S. Companies are Overexposed to China
Ford is the winner, though it might not be a prize worth winning in this case. The number one U.S. corporation with the most exposure – and therefore dependency – on China partners and supply is the historic Detroit auto maker. They’re not alone, though. Sitting in the top 10 of companies with an over-exposure to China includes all the big household names from Apple to Disney, Tesla to even Coca-Cola, according to a new index released on Monday by business intelligence consultancy Strategy Risks.

The Columbus Day Storm of 1962
By Dennis Powers
The Columbus Day Storm that struck the Pacific Northwest on October 12, 1962 with its hurricane-force winds was the most powerful windstorm to hit in the region’s recorded history. This “extra-tropical cyclone” killed 46 people and caused $250 million in property damages alone (in 1962 dollars; now, in the multi-billions)—$200 million in Oregon—in a deadly swath from San Francisco Bay to Canada with gales gusting as high as 179 miles per hour.
In a deadly, rare combination of conditions, it had started a week earlier as Typhoon Freda in the southwest Pacific tropics. When that warm, moist air met a cold-air stream from the Gulf of Alaska—along with cold air from the northerly latitudes—these conditions intensified and caused a storm of biblical proportions. More than 15 billion board feet of timber overall was flattened—worth then an estimated $750 million—from Northern California to Western Montana. That’s enough wood to replace 300,000 homes and three times greater than the number of trees knocked over in the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.
The howling winds hit highs of 179 mph at Cape Blanco, 116 mph in Portland, 96 mph in Astoria, 88 mph in Tacoma, and 138 mph in Newport. The Seattle Space Needle swayed, windows buckled, and a loud-speaker blared warnings of 80 mph winds. Airplanes were flipped over at Portland Airport and buildings lost all of their windows; bridges were crumpled, trees crushed cars, shattered glass severely injured those in the way, fishing boats capsized, and an escaped lioness even attacked a boy. Major radio-transmission towers were flattened along with countless miles of powers lines, as Oregon received substantially more death and destruction than any other state.
Over 100 million board feet of timber was flattened in the Rogue River National Forest. In Medford, the winds gusted to 58 mph, greater in the mountains. Highways were plugged with fallen trees, some 5-feet in diameter with trees in the forests stacked 20 feet high. Families with small children huddled inside windowless homes and stared as huge trees snapped into the Rogue River. Like many across the state, people cooked in their fireplaces, as electricity was out throughout entire towns. All of the plate-glass windows inside one downtown Medford car dealership crashed to the floor after a customer opened the door, reducing the inside pressure.
Although removing felled trees, replacing glass, and repairing roofs and buildings took time, the memories of that “storm of storms” still remains. Weather experts say that a storm of that magnitude happening today, moreover, would have a severer impact due to the larger population and greatly expanded infrastructure.
