i thought he talked present 101 seconds of age on gun legislation in the us state of oregon. that even on returning half an hour with the latest join us again that ah, ah right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or. busy obese is profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and healthy and addicted . not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that never changed, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. mm. welcome back to the large, large show. it's 7 minutes after the hour, and i'm in one of the best places you can ever be on a friday for 1st amendment friday because we're making it a 2nd amendment friday. i'm in northwest armory, on se mclaughlin, this place is a mad house today. it looks like a shopping day after thanksgiving. our business has been exponential amount of growth. there's been a lot more interest in personal protection. since there's been a couple of national tragedies, there's also been a lot

and that was found actually in the locker of one school shooter, i think in oregon. so i made the decision to withdraw the book from publication. when you find out that you wrote something that's been associated with acts of violence, there are a couple of ways that you can go. one way is to say, i had no responsibility for that. i just wrote a book. i didn't have anything to do with the shooting or you can say, yeah, ok, i might have had some sort of influence on this. the question that you have to ask is, does this disturb individual have access, easy access to a weapon? to work out, he has fantasies with his, his killing fantasies. my idea when i rode guns was let's make it very, very difficult for people to get automatic and semi automatic weapons. i mean, obviously if we could stop chiller tornadoes, we would. but somehow we're just sort of supposed to accept the idea that some guy, when they are 15, can go into your mall and light up the food court. the one of the 1st questions i was like for was the dealer lincoln was oregon homesafe stores. a guy on the civil

and i think there's a big divide there between what we call western oregon or the valley. the portland area and rural oregon a lot of what we get from the politicians is a need your reaction. i don't have a tremendous amount of ease in how they do things. and i think the, the gun control wherever you want to call it is a very good example of that killed that blanco's me. i don't know the solutions to lessen the chance of a sandy hood type incident is going to come from gun control. and it's much deeper than that. do i know what the answer is? no, because there's, i think it's a very complicated, very complex problem. guns we're part of it. we have to decide what we're willing to accept on both sides of the fence. you know, are we willing to accept what happened? you know, in these different instances? if not, then what are we willing to accept, you know, laws and rules to lessen the potential that happening again? my name is frances wheeler. my husband, david, me. we live in sandy hook, connecticut. david and i have 2 sons. our older son, nate, soon to be 10 years old, is

but oregon is fucking the national trends. the i instantly perceived to interest and need to look for others, but it will have a positive impact and i will say, lives down the road. there's no question about the accomplish something, something that we did with cindy in our minds. she was a marshal warner. she was very strong advocate for justice and for things are, are right, really proud. she won't be as where anything else stuff like that. like i wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for her death, but yeah, now she'll be really proud to be here in a phone totally. i there is a lot happening in our country. it's just not happening as fast as some people would like including me. but it is happening, i don't see myself backing away from this issue for quite a while. there's too much at stake. ah. it takes time to change things around. i've learned to accept that. now, but change those count as long as you're persist. ah, it's turning one more into an issue for people. every one person that's kill affects the whole community. i

this isn't just happening in oregon but all across the country.usively is trooper along with his attorney, dan. he is leading this suit by the way against the governor. we have first responders across the nation who are resistant clearly, resisting these mandates. why do you think that is? >> we are here to protect the people's rights. and it seems like some may have forgotten that. >> laura: q are also there to enforce the law, right? and yet, this is not a law. this is an aide handed down by the governor. there is not actually a law passed by the state legislature, mandating these vaccines, has there been a question mark that is right. >> laura: from a legal standpoint, sir, your client has gone up against the big machine, the big states. what do you think the likelihood of success on the merits of this case given where the other jurisprudence is gone? >> so, you know, that is a good question. there is, obviously, authority contrary to the positions we have taken in the suit. however, the cases that people are citing as that contrary authority a

the presiding officer: the senior senator from oregon. mr. wyden: in a few minutes i'll put forward a unanimous consent request that the senate take up and approve a highly qualified and unquestionably noncontroversial nominee. i'm going to take just a few minutes to talk about jonathan davidson nominated to be the next deputy for legislative affairs under secretary at the treasury department. just briefly there are a few key points to make about this important nomination. to start, john isn't just a person off the street being nominated for a new job in the biden administration. in fact, my guess is virtually every member of this body, democrats and republicans alike, have worked with john at one point or another, from 2011 until he was nominated this past spring, john served as chief of staff to another finance committee colleague, senator bennet. he's known as somebody who's honest, who's hardworking, committed to bringing people together to tackle big challenges and been doing it for a long time. before work with senator bennet, john serv

and bob, as a young attorney for the thousand friends of oregon, fighting to establish and protect oregon's iconic land use legislation with pioneers like henry richman, dick brenner, true oregon pioneers. his work put him in direct conflict with the cult who had taken over the central oregon town of antelope. he actually tried to poison -- they tried to poison him as he had the courage to stand up for the integrity of local government and land use planning. when i was elected to the portland city council and became commissioner of public works, bob was my chief of staff, helping manage a diverse portfolio of critical bureaus, including planning, transportation, and environmental services. he was director of the portland planning bureau for over five years with landmark achievements, including the central city plan, the albina community plan during a very challenging time for the city financially. and bob was respected and beloved by the planning bureau staff. he was tireless and creative. he spent a period of time in private practice. i think just to figure out what it was like. he served

the senator from oregon. a senator: i ask unanimous consent that the motion to reconsider be made and laid upon the table and the senate be notified of the senate's action. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. merkley: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: mr. president, i come to the floor today to bid farewell to an individual who has not only served as a long-term staff member, but a highly respected member of our close-knit team, jake okenberg. serving for the last ten years as my business liaison, jake has been my ambassador to oregon's business community and its leaders. and frankly, when you consider some of my positions, jake has undoubtedly developed the diplomatic skills necessary to actually be an ambassador. jake has always approached his work with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, with steadfast determination to help me build and maintain critical partnerships with the business community throughout the state and to provide their

days come with massive destructive fires we've witnessed in recent years in places like california, oregon, washington, colorado and for others this year in idaho we need to change may be the way we are doing business. >> with the innumerable coordination centers, the nations fire managers joined forces for direct local, state, tribal, firefighting resources to protect lives and livelihoods, property, infrastructure and vulnerable natural resources. ultimately, we count on help from the partners when the crisis strikes. in years like this it takes the entire national wildlife apparatus from local, rural fire departments, fire protection associations, professional state counties, federal firefighters, military partners thank goodness for the military partners this year, international systems to manage fires across the landscape. i will say people my age tend to measure in terms of the fire seasons and many of us think about yellowstone fires of 88 and we were sure that was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. i will just point out they aren't about 800,000 acres and approaching about a million

this isn't just happening in oregon, it is all across the country.ely is trooper cowing along with his attorney, dane is leading the suit against the governor. we have first responders across the nation who are resistant clearly to these mandates. why do you think that is? >> wheels for the same both. we are here to protect the people's rights and it seems like some may have forgotten that. >> you are also there to enforce the law, right? this is not a law, this is an edict handed down by the governor, correct? there hasn't been a law actually passed by the state legislature mandating these vaccines, has there? from a legal standpoint, your client has gone up against the big machine of the big state. what do you think the likelihood of success on the merits of this case is? >> that is a good question. there is obviously authority contrary to positions we've taken in the suit but the cases people are citing as the contrary authority are quite distinguishable and also quite old. many people toss around the 19 nosedive massachusetts case as opposition t

you see the showers pushing across california oregon border. if you look close, you see lightning strikes as well just offshore. it's because of a cold front that's going to bring wet weather for us as we head through our afternoon and evening. you see on high def doppler, a closer look of the rain over eureka as well as down through fort bragg. right now, a live look with our san francisco cam with mostly cloudy skies, some patches of blue. we are in the 60s and 70s. there is the satellite and radar view, upper level low swinging that cold front our way. we will be on the tail end of this, a weak weather system that will bring light scattered showers for us. not everyone will see it and if you do see the wet weather, if you are lucky enough to catch it, a few hundredths of an inch. i will show you that in a moment. you see as we go through our day, the afternoon, here we are at 3:00 p.m., showers pushing across the north bay. as we look to this evening, some spotty showers and also tonight. we are looking at the clouds for tomorrow morning and

that t particular heat wave els 118 people died in oregon. in urban areas, there are significant differences in heat. int places with more heat and shade which led to a 25-degree differential in at that in parts of portland. in places like mississippi, louisiana and south carolina, it is the poorest who are most impacted by hurricanes and flooding as we saw in hurricane katrina. as well as south carolina in 2015, as well as senator wicker's story as well. exacerbating the situation, there is recent evidence that fema relief is far more likely to go to home owners versus renters. immediate resources need to be directed to increasing shade, weatherization projects, sheltering the unhoused and building a sustainable weather system.ng lastly, weather access. as a wealthy country we have access to clean potable water is not an issue. but that is untrue. especially in rural areas. sometimes people get disconnected from the utilities suchch as the contamination crisis. but rural communities are ti disproportionately impacted. for example, the navajo

oregon is like a lot of the rest of the country.s the country, a quarter of icus are 95% or more capacity. at my hospital, we just opened up a new i see you unit. we are using the area that is usually used for postsurgical care. we have turned that into an extra i see you. -- extra icu. adult cases are being pushed out to the pediatric icu. we are also being asked to try -- to take transfers of patients from around the state and the gion because other hospitals are running out too. that means we have to make hard choices about who gets a bed and many people who in normal times that i can barely remember would get an icu without question are being left in the emergency room or they are being put on a regular hospital board not equipped to take care of them. this is not the care we want to give. this is the care we have to give right now. if it were my fami member, it would be so deeply upsetting but this is why we have a part in making sure we curb transmissions so we don't continue to get these sick people and nationally we have suc

in oregon, we had the fires, but they are doing more good than bad. like the lady from florida said, the emissions. but over here in the agriculture, we need the central americans to assist with the agriculture industry here, and that is what a lot of people who are against the border don't realize, although it up oregon to washington, we have to use those workers, otherwise we are not owing to have much of an economy. >> to pennsylvania, pat is on the independent line. >> i just want to make a comment about the abortion in texas. it is absurd that along with this, we need to offer support for working people who simply are in no position to add more children to their lives. why can't we offer free contraception. basically that is all i want to say. >> to pennsylvania, next up. john, good morning. >> caller: in the last seven days, there has been a top story. it went from louisiana and afghanistan. every day there was a news story. if you go back to 1790, the first year of george washington's administration, there was a discussion on national debt. the

the showers are just now coming into oregon. to look at this in terms of where it will rain and how much. we come back to northern california and paint the map for where the accumulated rainfall, where is it going to rain, from monday morning until we get well into wednesday afternoon. this is pretty good. that's zero point 75 inches for crescent city. the monument fire? the river complex fire? we haven't heard a thing about those since the last rain event came through. it's great newsdon't see the rain gauge touchdown here. maybe ukiah gets 0.01 inches of rain. it's too early to get to pacific. i will get more refined over the next few days. it is a whole pattern shift in the weather. we will get cooler. humidity levels will go up. we will start pushing the smoke away, fisher, for early next week. the morning lows tomorrow, we will still have smoke around, because it hasn't changed just yet, and look at how much cooler the numbers are now for saturday. they go to the mid-80s for the in the valleys, that's average. you've been i

so soaking rains for washington, oregon and northern california. let's look at futurecast.we will focus on the wide view a zoom in closer later object. the rain is making its way onshore in the pacific northwest tomorrow, presidenting no northern california on saturday. and we are going to see the showers making their way toward north bay, we head through saturday evening and saturday night. they are not going to make progress all the way across the bay area, the best chance of measurable rain is going to be from the golden gate northward but we will take what we can get. in terms of the amount of rain we talk about a good soak rain from eureka to seattle 1 to 2" of rain widespread. this is beneficial around the monument fire and mcfarland fire farther inland, we are talking about lower amounts but hopefully enough moisture to help out fire crews battling the fires and plenty fires burning in oregon and washington as well. this will help, but again, it doesn't break the drought. far from it. talk bag .10 for santa rosa. we will zoom in for a closer look at futurecast in the

in eastern oregon, the temperature hit a record 100 -- degrees. in that particular heat wave episode, 118 people died in oregon. in urban areas, there are significant differences in heat. wealthier places tend to have more trees and shade, which led to a 25-degree differential in temperature in parts of portland. in places like mississippi, louisiana and south carolina, it is the poorest who are most impacted by hurricanes and flooding, as we saw in hurricane katrina, as well as south carolina in 2015 as well as senator roger wicker's -- as well. there was also recent evidence that fema is more likely to go to wealthier populations, rather than winters. policies can include shelter, whether-ization products, and increasing shade. lastly, water access. as a wealthy country, we deserve access to clean potable water -- especially in rural areas. some people get disconnected from the utility, such as the florida contamination crisis. but some communities are disproportionately impacted. for example, the navajo reservation has one of the highest percen
