This hour of the Bill Meyer Show podcast is proudly sponsored by Klauser Drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for more than 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausor drilling.com. Minutes after eight, Rainier, Zytelman should be joining me here in the next few minutes. Space capitalism is what he is big in talking about. We've been talking about that a lot lately. Capitalism. Of course, it's sort of a theme spreading there, trying to keep the communists at bay here.

Steve, you want to the way in on that, Wild Salmon Steve. How you don't Steve? I've been reading the book by Jonathan Turley called Rage in the Republic. And I'm about halfway through the book, but it starts out with the people who established the Constitution of the United States, what the arguments were, what we ended up with. And it was a very tumultuous time. bicameral legislature was designed to slow things down, and the executive branch was designed to run things. Yes. Well, if you have, as the communists are pushing now, where you eliminate the Senate and you eliminate the presidency, what you end up with is mob rule.

You essentially have a bunch of shout down everywhere. That's exactly right. And, you know, go all the way back to Athens. and the Greek legislature, Socrates came up with the idea of democracy, but his democracy was mob rule, where everybody gets a vote. And all it takes is one person to speak against you, and you can be either voted out of the city or you can be killed. And that's exactly what Plato did to Socrates. I think we find ourselves in a very dangerous time right now.

I know it's easy to sit there and poke at the – and look at the – number of Democratic Socialists of America. They're claiming they have 100,000 members or so right now. That's why it scares me because looking at what happened, I mean, France went through the same people who were pushing for the same thing in the United States, went to France, and they argued, and they got what they wanted. They got a single branch of government that was responsible for everything, and it was all a mob rule.

They got what was called a terror, and the terror actually ended up killing Robsbier, who was one of the people who started the whole thing. Well, and it ends up consuming itself, but a lot of other people die in the process. That's exactly right. And the outcome from those types of situations is not a democracy, but a good speaker comes out and becomes a dictator. That would be Napoleon Bonaparte, or you could even say, that Hitler did the same thing because the German economy was totally destroyed

and they were discriminated against so much that people were destitute, and so they would vote for anybody who give them some hope. But you know, that was a teachable moment, what they would say today. What we did, I shouldn't say what we did, what really France did in the Treaty of Versailles, at that point, in which you crush someone so or crush a country and a people so deeply at that time because we want, you know, the reparations from you, we want to make sure that you really understand it. We really sowed, I should say the West really sowed the seeds of World War II with that treaty. That's the same thing that happens.

It's happened time after time after time. A rule, a mob rule is a recipe for, what they called in France the terror. Indeed. And it's something worth remembering. I know that people may be laughing at 100,000 Democratic Socialists of America, but I would dare say at this moment, Steve, they're punching above their numbers. Okay. Johnathan's book.

All right. I will. I'm going to try to get him on too. I am working on that. Thank you, Steve. Appreciate it. 12 minutes after 8. The Kim Commando, Digital Update is coming up. And then who knows where we'll go on Wheels Up.

Wednesday. Our of the Bill Myers Show is sponsored by Fontana Roofing. For roofing gutters and sheet metal services, visit Fontana Roofing Services.com. Great to see you. Come on in. Hi. Thanks for letting me stay in your guest room. Our pleasure. Right through here. The door sticks a bit. Just turn, lift up a little and give it a good. 770-633. That's 770 KMED. Now more with Bill Meyer. Now my guest from Germany, apparently, I don't know if it's a time change issue or whatever it is, but we'll have to try to reschedule the space capitalism guy. We'll just end that meeting. All right.

Doing it on Zoom, right? Zoom is the way to do it. Zoom sometimes could be a better phone call than a phone call to Germany, at least my experience. What has been going on. All right. So we can go to your phones and other things. I'm just going to loodle around with stuff that I find really interesting

and always happy to go to where you are too. 7705-633-770K-M-A-D, my email, Bill at Bill Meyer's Show.com. So we've got good fire news. That's all great. This is the story I was talking about with Richard Emmons just briefly last hour

when we were talking about his great academy, which I think is just a wonderful thing, wonderful thing trying to get people all taken care of. All right? And that is an Oregon educator who has lost a First Amendment case over he is he and she is she. I want to let you know about this. This has not been getting a lot of coverage.

I think this is a very important, a very important court case. And I think it speaks a lot to the challenge that we of common sense face in Oregon. At least this is how I see it. This is from Max Bernstein, my favorite reporter in the world. It said no Bill Meyer ever, but as he's working over at the Oregon. A sharply divided federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that an Oregon school employees display of books promoting binary gender views. In other words, there are men and there are women. There are males and there are females.

Was not protected by the First Amendment when students were present in his office. It was a 2-1 decision by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It upheld the firing of Roderick Theas II from Oregon's Intermountain Education Service District, and they rejected his appeal. Theas is a licensed clinical social worker who served as an education specialist, and he displayed books with these binary gender themes in two school offices, where he met with students. So he had these books up, as the counselor would have students in here. It was LeGrand Middle School. It was his office at LaGran Middle School. I knew it was out in a less populated area someplace here in Oregon.

And he kept a couple of books, He is He and She Is She. And it conveyed the message that gender is binary and cannot be changed. In his office, Theeist displayed Johnny the Walrus, a children's book, some described as anti-transgender. The book by Matt Walshays is about a boy named John. with a big imagination who likes to make believe, but is forced to make a decision between the boy he is and the things he pretends to be.

The Intermountain Education Service District, by the way, serves Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wallawa, Grant Baker, and Malheur counties in eastern Oregon. So I knew it was about in eastern Oregon. That's what I remembered. But Oregon law prohibits discrimination in public education and requires education providers to adopt policies addressing what it deems bias incidents.

The district's every student belongs policy defines a bias incident as a hostile expression of animus based on a protected characteristic, including gender identity. This is actual state policy. I just wanted to make sure just drive this in. He had a couple of books. They were talking about men or men,

women are women. and, you know, a boy can't just describe himself as a walrus. But the state of Oregon says, well, that's a bias crime. Do you think that's true? I wonder if it would have been different. I wonder if it would have been different for theas. Remember, this is Theas, this Roderick Theas from Oregon's Intermountain Interrouten Education Service District.

I wonder what would have happened if instead of being a school counselor, he had been a biologist. You know what I'm getting at? Because what is the nonsense that happens here in the island of misfit humans ruled state of Oregon? You're not a biologist. Can you tell me if, you know, what's a woman? Well, I'm not a biologist. I can't say anything. You know, there's like Supreme Court Justice, you know, doing things like I'm not a biologist.

Like since when did we need a biologist to explain everything about gender? That's the nonsense where we are right now. And so I would once again, please implore you, if you have children, if you have control of children or if you know of children that are in the public school system and you can get them out of it, would you please? 20-something years ago when my daughter, Sarah, you know, there was no way I could have homeschooled her at that time. Didn't have the money, didn't have, and I was, you know, working, working very long hours as I do even right now. and my ex-wife at that time ended up getting custody. But I assure you back in 1996, 1996, 1997, they weren't going down this road at that time. They weren't.

There was none of this stuff. There were girls. There were boys. That was it. There was no accommodation for anything. There was no encouraging of this nonsense. Hasn't this shown just how far we've fallen? hasn't this also shown just how badly we need a change in the governorship because the governor, of course, is a member of the island of Misfit Humans and naturally runs the Oregon Department of Education with the island of Misfit humans' firm grip on the lever, folks.

Tell me what you think about that. But I find that an absolutely fascinating story that he lost a First Amendment case because he just couldn't do that. I guess he just has to as, you know, he has to go out there and do what the state. policy says. 770-MED 770563. Another question I have for you this morning. I had this discussion with David, David the mechanic, who called me up a little bit earlier. They've arrested three people, or they did arrest, I don't know if they're still in the

juvenile justice system. But in Grants Pass, they did arrest three juveniles, 13, 15, 16-year-old, and they're probably going to charge a 16-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy. in that water bead attack. And I've been encouraging that I think that the days of not naming people that do illegal and or stupid things, I think that people should pay a penalty even if you are a teenager. David disagrees with me. I want to ask you how you feel about such things.

As it is right now, everything is, you're 15, you're 16, we can't say anything. We cannot release the names of the people because of the ages of those involved. Does that serve us well? Now, David was having a good conversation with me. He says that he doesn't think that the shame necessarily works with youth.

What do you think? What is your experience? Because it's not just because I'm a member of the media, you know, as it were. I just don't think it's necessarily effective. I think the fact that, you know, that you could embarrass yourself and embarrass your family, I think that is a very powerful motivator.

And yeah, I suppose someone will say, well, that marks you for life. No, I don't think so. People have been able to survive a lot of stupid stuff that they've done. But, you know, if you're arrested, put in the juvee system, should that be a public record and perfectly knowledgeable? I know that there are judges right now that will sit there and seal off those records and then, you know,

we get perverts and violent people that end up getting hidden. He gets hidden over time. I just don't know if that works. Tell me what you think. 7705-633. Happy to get you on or anything else on your mind here, too. A little bit of open phone time. Hi, good morning.

KMEDE. Who's this? Good morning, Bill. This is Vicki from the Applegate. Vicki? Do you have a thought about anything we've been kicking around? Well, you know, with the kids getting in trouble and stuff, I can remember back in the day when I was,

was about, I would say maybe nine, I stole a piece of candy, okay? And I know a lot of us that are over 60 have these stories where your parents take you back to the store, you give it back, you either get, you know, 86 from the store for a couple weeks or whatever. But, you know, getting in trouble now is a whole different ballgame. And as far as, you know, 15, 16, 17, yeah, I think in certain situations, they're, you know, they are minors, so you don't want to go full board information. The problem is that they're minors, but at the same time, this is the same state that says when you're a minor, you can decide you're abortion or you can decide to go transgender or you can do all these other things and parents don't get to know. So we're already saying that, and by the way, they get to automatically register to vote.

And they don't, not allowed to vote. But you see what I'm getting at here? You know, on one hand, we're saying, oh, they're little deer, so they don't know what they're doing. And on the other hand, and say, well, but go ahead, kill your baby, you know, if you want to. So I. And the fact that they're being supported by government agencies and other agencies. And I think they're being protected by government corporations. right now and and and well they're going to be the next criminals in the prison I mean come on

you think they're going to just stop when they turn 18 and they're going to live a uh you know squeaky healing life well well some may and and some may yeah some might you know there's a possibility if consequences bill you know to me though the way I'm looking at it to hide the to hide the names of the people involved here to me that works in a very high trust society in which we trust parents are going to, you know, do the right thing and crack down. I'm not seeing a lot of evidence of that in today's society here in Oregon. Maybe I'm totally wrong.

That's because the kids are the ones in charge now, Bill. I see it every time I go to town and ages from like itty-bitty in the cart to teenagers that are telling their parents to shut up and do what, you know, I want. want this. I don't care. Yeah, stuff that would have got my face slapped when I... Well, things that would have got my face slapped when I was a kid, right? Oh, my God. I would have been picking up every tooth. Yeah. Okay.

See, I think we've lost something under this guys of, well, we're going to shield the juvenile as... I'm thinking of like that cousin Vinny thing, the youth. The youth. The youth. Yeah, well, they're not youth like we used to be youth. They're so much more advanced in everything. Now, let me see. I don't know if it's just you and me. I'll just keep going to the phones on this one.

I just like to find out what they're thinking. And it's not that I just want to be punitive and just harsh on everybody. But it seems like, you know, we get harsh on some of the weirdest things. Like, you know, well, you look at this guy. This one counselor, Eastern Oregon School. Eastern Oregon, by the way. Eastern Oregon has the he is he and she is she books. out, boom, fired, gone, not a First Amendment case.

But it's arguably scientific, absolutely correct. So we have to coddle that. And then we don't punish people that are bead blasting people over on the streets of Grants Pass, or at least we can't talk about who they are. Hi, K.M.D., good morning. Who's this? Hey, good morning, Bill. It's deplorable Patrick. Hi, D.P. Hi there.

And on a side note, along the same lines, but a little bit of a side issue, and Vicki was just talking about stealing, I don't remember what. But when I was like eight or ten years old, they had this friend so-called named Denzel Norland. We'd go down to C Street market. He very readily talked me into stealing candy down there. He did. Yeah, and my, and the business Fulton called my mom, and I heard about it from my mom. I never stole anything after that. But here's the point.

Nobody told me not to steal. My point is teach your children. Don't assume that they know. And along those lines, tell them, look, you've got to be careful who your friends are. If any of your friends are trying to get you into, to do anything wrong, steal a bag of M&Ms or anything, get new friends. It's easy to do. Let me go back to the question that I was posing, though.

All right, so you got 13, 15, 16-year-olds, and they're blasting the young girl on the street of Grant's Pass with water beads, you know, these bead things, kind of like paintballish kind of things. And she got pretty beat up, pretty bruised, you know, from that. Is that something should we know who did it? Or is that just a rather just innocent hooligan fun in today's society? What do you think? If you protect the little miniature or junior criminals, then you're encouraging them. You're exactly right. We should know their names and they should be publicly humiliated from it.

I agree with you. Okay. And I know that public humiliation would hurt, though. I guess the thing is, though, maybe you hid the names in the past because we knew that once you got home, you were in way more trouble with your parents than you ever were with juvenile authorities, wouldn't you think? Yeah, totally. And unfortunately, the society has kind of lost its way. And we don't have this right and wrong sense of right and wrong and consequences like we should. And it's costing us.

All right. Appreciate the call there. 770KMED. I'm also sensitive to what David was talking about when he said that you don't want to necessarily tag people as young people as bad kids. Well, this is a bad kid. Well, you don't have to be a bad kid, but even decent people can sometimes do bad things. I know that my parents had I been busted for what the kids did in Grants Pass would have been in huge trouble. And I would have been in way more trouble once I got home with my mom and dad than I think he was.

even juvenile authorities would have done at that time. Maybe that's the problem that I feel that the current hiding of names in the juvenile system is not serving us. 770 KMED. Good morning. KMED. Who's this? Good morning, Bill.

It's Wednesday morning, and I wanted to remind people, it's, you can go down. You have about an hour to get down to the county commissioners meeting and speak up about what's going on and what the things you don't like rather than just calling in on your show. Okay. The flock cameras are still up, and I don't know what it's going to take, but we need people to go in and voice their opinions, and, you know, I'll remind of the quote again. Okay, that's fine. Duly noted, and that happens every Wednesday at 930. Great. Now what?

Just reminding those people, those who would give up a little liberty for security, they deserve neither. All right. Duly noted, 770 KMED. KMED, good morning. Who's this? Good morning, Bill. It's Francine. Francine, hello. Hi.

So we were talking about, you were mentioning gender and how, you know, the people couldn't describe what, you know, a female was because they're not a biologist. Exactly. I decided to look up a biologist, what biologists have to say about sex and gender. And what I came up with, just was quick, you know, I didn't get way into it, that, you know, the sex refers to the biological difference. regarding the chromosomes, XX and X, Y, and blah, blah, blah. Gender refers to cultural differences expected by society,

and a person's sex does not change from birth, but their gender can. Oh, they are. This is what they're saying now, huh? This is what, well, the site I'm reading from right now, it's called simple psychology. It's not technically a... Okay. You still there? I think we lost you.

And Francine, get back to me, okay? KMEDA, good morning. Hi, who's this? My name's Denise. Hi, Denise. What's on your mind? Well, my opinion on these teenagers doing what they did, as the first I heard of it, I think it's totally wrong.

I think they should pay the consequences for what they've done. As far as keeping their names the secret, I think I'm kind of torn on that one because I think that people should know who they are. but then on the other hand, I don't think they should be humiliated. So, okay, where do you think that line comes then? Because I'm not convinced that keeping the names out of media has necessarily served society. But that's my opinion only. No, it hasn't.

And that's where the problem is, is all these kids get away with all this stuff because the parents are afraid of children's services. They're afraid that children's services is going to step in and take their kids away, which is a possible. Very interesting point. I hadn't even thought about that. Thank you. Yeah, well, you're welcome. But I've been involved with children's services twice in my life. And the first time it was unnecessary, the second time it could have been very necessary. So, but I just don't, I just don't agree with it. I don't think it's right. These children should be accountable for what they've done, no matter how old they are. Well, it does look like they will be held legally, that they'll be held accountable in the legal. sense of the matter. But, you know, that's something where it could be a thin gruel. I don't know.

You're talking about a second or third degree assault. It's not the same thing, I guess, is taking a baseball bat to someone. But... Well, no. Still, I mean, even with their parents, they should be held accountable for what they've done. All right. Appreciate the call. Thank you. 770 KM.D. Good morning, KMED. This is Bill. Who's this? Hello? Hi. Oh, Bill. It's Francine again. All right, Francine, go ahead and finish your thought because your phone dropped out. Yeah, I wasn't, I didn't really have a whole lot more to say on that topic, but I'm outside now.

I'm not in front of my computer because I don't want to get cut off again. The phone, remember I was whining about the phone stuff the other day. Yeah. But what, what, it's, now that I'm here, the thing about the kids being, you know, revealing their names and stuff. Yeah. I think part of the stigma from that is the parents, it would be stigmatized. And in some ways, that's good. You know, the parents should be.

Well, that's what I was getting at, too, because I know that one of the things that kept us in, kept us kind of more along straight and narrow. Yeah, I know I did things. I drove fast, et cetera, et cetera. I did that. You know, I admit that sort of stuff. The part of it, though, was that there was always an underlying, an underlying aspect of I wouldn't want my family to be ashamed of what I did. Right. You know, there was a little bit of it.

And I think that's a powerful motivator if you have a good, well, if you have a good family, maybe if you know. It might have been in the past. I don't know if it is so much anymore. The way kids are being taught, like, you know, your parents don't matter and blah, blah, blah. I don't know if that really affects some of the kids today. I'm not saying all kids. Well, if shaming the family is not good enough, then, then what are we protecting the kids for? Shame them.

Well, exactly. But, see, that's where everything is going. And I just wanted to say Steve's comments earlier this morning about, you know, the communist creep were so spot on. I was really, you know, because I've been feeling that. I just never have quite put it into those words that was really good. All right. Appreciate the take. Thank you, Francine.

If you are on hold, I'll get right with you. 770K-M-E-D. And talking about keeping the names hidden in juvenile cases, do you think that's right? I don't think it's necessarily serving society as it may. once. I think there was a good intent on this one. But as families tend to get more atomized, what are we protecting them from? It used to be kind of like you'd shame your family. I think it could be very powerful or properly applied. Does your property have adequate defensible space for fire season?

Paid spokesperson. Time spent on application may vary. Online health questions required. You're hearing the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED. I know I've been stuck on this Grants Pass beat attack, and I know some would just say, oh, it's just kids being kids. But Grants Pass police taking it seriously, and they've charged them. We've got three kids that, you know, three young adults, or almost young adults, I guess, being charged. And yeah, they're going to be going through the juvenile justice system. And a couple more maybe added on top of this. And I guess my point is, though, does it serve society any longer to hide?

their names to hide their names in such matters. I'm not convinced it does work, but Bob, I want to take your call first, and then I'll go through everybody else's on hold right now, too. Good morning. Good morning, Bill. With regards to the juveniles, you know, I would keep their names out of the press or, you know, public documentation. One, unless they were proven guilty, and two, I would probably do it for, you know, very serious felonies and crimes. Okay. So you're thinking that the bead blasting assault on the street is bad, but it doesn't rise to the level that you think we need to know then, right?

I think that does rise to the level because if you saw the welts on that young lady, you know, that's very painful. Plus, if there's a civil suit for pain, suffering, mental anguish, or damages, the kids' parents are going to have to pay for that should they lose in court. Interesting. Yeah. All right, Bob. Hey, Bob, I appreciate the take from GP. Let me go to Bruce. Hello, Bruce.

Good to have you on, too. Good morning. Good morning. Interested from my past, when publishing the parents' names of the hooligans, teenagers, it immediately stopped the problem in the entire town. One where I lived and one in Montana years ago. And, of course, the powers that be were all. upset because some of their kids were involved.

So, okay, I just want to make sure I understand. So what they did is that they printed the names of the parents of the child. Yep. Oh. Cured the situation real quick. Do you think it would still do that today? He knows who the kids' parents are. And like one lady mentioned, parents are going to try to keep their own named out of the paper for kids messing up.

Yeah, all right. Hey, appreciate that. Call, Bruce. 770KM.D. Lucretia, you're on the way in on this or maybe something different. Go ahead. Hi. I agree with the last fellow. I read Shogun back when I was a young girl. And I couldn't believe that if a daughter's son stole anything, not only were his hands cut off, but the parent's hands and they would display them out in front of their house. Yikes. Yeah. Yeah. Talk about taking responsibility. for family ethics and, you know, and all, they made them do that, which is good. I mean, a society where people care about how their children act in the world is important.

You stop the other crime being so intense, but, again, it's like, if it's not, it's a bubble gum, no, but you could leave a wallet in a telephone booth for a week and nobody would take it. Yeah. A very high trust society, in other words, right? Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Thanks, Lucretia. Next line. Hi. Good morning. KM.E.D. Who's this? Mr. Brown?

Hello, Mr. Brown. Welcome. What are you thinking? On TV, and she knew who the boys were. She didn't say, of course. Called into your radio station and said, I know who they are and named them off. Would you be in trouble? I don't think so. Well, what does the newscast do? Do they say don't mention their names? They may. It may be their policy. I'm not convinced that it's a law. I think it's more of a policy than anything else. I have to check that out. I've never really given it much thought until this particular case, but it's the same sort of thing when we got this roundy, roundy, roundy, a whole bunch of people, five suspects, and nobody knows anything, can't say word, you know, that kind of thing.

Okay. Yeah. Hey, appreciate the call. And we'll grab one more. We'll close it out. But I'm just wondering if it serves us, you know, keeping silent about such things. Hi, K.M.E., good morning. Who's this? This is Dennis in Gradsbath. Hello, Dennis.

Welcome. Hey, Bill. Just a couple of things about that. You know, when they're young and you don't tighten them up, nobody's, you know, nobody's going to teach them what's right and wrong. But some of those things don't sound well. First off, that it's a woman and none of them, none of the men there said, well, we can't shoot a girl. We can't do that to a woman.

And the other thing is it's a young age drive-by. It's a drive-by. Yeah, that's practicing for the gangbanger behavior in the future possibly, right? Yeah, yeah. And, you know, nobody's telling them that's wrong before it gets worse. And the gang mentality that everybody was in on it. So, yeah, they should be tightened up because how else do we learn? All right.

Appreciate your call and opinion. Thank you. We'll grab one more. Hi, KMED. Good morning. Hello? Hear me? Yes, Doug.

Go ahead. I'm in the side of the head, and that caused some severe damage? Well, the lawyers would be certainly suing over that. You know that. But that doesn't bring back the life. Yeah, there is the potential. And I think the drive-by aspect of it was another thing that kind of brought it to a different level. You know, that's what I was thinking.

All right, you too. Appreciate the opinion. It's 846. This is the Bill Meyer show. Need a roof that performs and lasts? Stephen Westfall roofing. Get tickets now at Britfest.org. This is News Talk 1063, KMED.

I have to give you kudos on this, all right? We had problems with our DirecTV here at the station, you know, that we have in front of me. I watch here. Got to keep up on the news and various other things. Your tech came up there and got it figured out. It was pretty tough. He had to replace part of the dish, but it worked really well. I just wanted to say good going, okay?

Yeah, Glenn is an amazing installer. So that is something nice that we do have is a local technician. And I also have my daughter, too, that is also installing the Gemini Air. And my daughter will come out. She'll install your new equipment. She'll help you cancel your old service. And then she'll help you lower your bills. All right.

So nice to have, like, a local person like my daughter. daughter to help people. People love her. They're like, oh my gosh, your daughter is so amazing. You know, it's nice to have service where she can come to you. And the point is you don't want to have to call the 800 lines or wait in the busy store, that sort of thing. This is what you do. This is what you do. So call or text message, Cherise. You can just send her your bill right now at 541-6805875. Pretty simple. Works well for a lot of people. Anything else there? You were talking about Gemini TV? This is a big one. Big deal you were talking about. It is. It is a big deal. and it's going to help you save some money.

I can also help you get internet for as low as $30 a month. That's super fast internet. I wanted to ask, how many of you out there had U.S. cellular cell phone service and you got switched over to T-Mobile? How was that experience? I mean, I've heard horrible stories about this situation. The service isn't as good as it was with U.S. cellular. U.S. cellular had way more towers.

So if you're one of those folks that have T-Mobile now and you're not happy with it, please come talk to me. I totally understand. I'll switch it to Verizon. You'll have way better coverage and you'll get free cell phone service for a whole year and you can keep your same phone, your same number. If you want a new phone, you can come in here and I'll help you get a new phone. I'll take good care of you. All right. Well, I know that it's worked out pretty well. You switched me to Spectrum Wireless out of U.S. cellular. I was real happy about that. Is that deal still going on or is it something different now? Yes. So you get one line free, and then each additional line is $30. It's tax-free. It's no contract. So if you're not happy, you can always go back to your expensive bill, right? I kind of like the cheap bill instead. I'm still good with that. I really am. Right. So, you know, saving money and having a better product and having local service, you can't beat that. You can't get that anymore. There's not very many stores like mine left. And, you know, I'm here to help you. Just bring me in your bill. I'm here right now.

If you want to come in and talk to me, I'll be here until probably about 3 o'clock today. All right, very good. 1560 Biddle Road, Sweetbee in Medford. Call or text 541-6805875. Cherise said no wires now. And, of course, that switch to Gemini Air TV. That's the big deal of the morning, right? Just repeat that offer one more time.

Okay. Yeah, you've got to do it by July 31st to get the $100 visa card. But these tablets that I have are awesome. They're kind of like an iPad, you know. And so if you have a hard time seeing your phone, this would be a great little bit bigger deal than, you know, your phone. And also, come see my new puppy Coco. She's so cute. She's here at the store.

Okay. She's not piddling on anything, is she? No, I take her outside. Okay, cool. She's good. You know, I'm just having fun with you, Cherise. You know that. Okay.
