The Bill Myers Show podcast is sponsored by Klausur drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausordrilling.com. Stay Senator Noah Robinson on in just a moment, and Dave's here. Hello, Dave. How are you? What's up? Hey, good. How are you doing? Doing well. What's on your mind?

When was the last time a journalist won a Pulitzer? And what was a Pulitzer for? And, you know, if I went to journalism school, I would want to, that's one of my guys. The goal to achieve would be a Pulitzer. Huh. And I haven't heard anything good, you know, true, honest, besides reading garbage that I have lately. I don't know. And when was the last Pulitzer won?

Well, I looked at, I looked it up on the Pulitzer Prize, because I knew that's where you wanted to talk about it. And would you like to hear who ended up getting the Pulitzer Prizes in journalism this year? Do you want to hear? Yes. Okay. In the public service category, ProPublica, they ended up having a bunch of reporters talking about pregnant women who died after doctors delayed urgently needed care. So it was an abortion, abortion story, okay?

For breaking news, the staff of the Washington Post, WAPO, ended up getting it. For urgent and illuminating coverage of the July 13th assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. For investigative reporting, the staff of Reuters, for a bold expose of lax regulation of the United States that makes fendent. Continental, inexpensive and widely available. Let's see. What else do we have? National Reporting, the staff of the Wall Street Journal for chronicling political and personal shifts. International Reporting, New York Times.

Features. Esquire Magazine gets the Pulitzer. Let's see. And who else? Let's see. Photography, New York Times. Pulitzer and audio reporting, the staff of the New Yorker. So something tells me, Dave, these are just.

Publications, you're not reading much, and that made me why. Must be. I guess I'm just looking for a big story that a truthful story that is honest and somebody's brought out. Like the Watergate story of the early 70s, right? Something like that. You get a Pulitzer for it. Yeah. Let me hear what Trump really did because, you know, you really haven't been able to stand behind what Trump did. Or let me hear, you know, it's somebody else. And then the truth and we investigated that it's all truth. But apparently no one bet was even to the slightly less or even more to the right of left, left, left, left, left of center, apparently is in the line for a Pulitzer. Okay? So there we go.

What a shame. All right. I'm just let you know. Have a good day. All right. By the way, you just go to Pulitzer.org and you can see the prize winners themselves and wonder why nobody else. No Matt Taibi? I mean, you think about this.

Matt Taibi, the journalism that that guy is doing. on his substack is 10 times the quality of what any of these people on WAPO or all the rest of them are doing and not even a mention. Isn't that interesting? This is the Bill Myers Show. This hour of the Bill Myers Slunk.

State Senator Noah Robinson, he's up there. The Marble Nut House is more marvelly and more nutty than ever. Welcome back, Noah. How you doing this morning on legislative days? I'm doing okay. Thanks for having me on. And yes, we do seem to have a lack of rationality up here. Yeah, certainly does. Yeah, it was a partisan vote, party-line vote. No big surprise yesterday. 11 senators of voting no against the 0.4.3 billion dollar bailout, essentially. And so I guess we're going to be able to keep the DEI crew hired for the next 10 years. Is that the way this is working? What do you say? What happened?

That's exactly right. We've taken an agency, which is obviously extremely wasteful, very inefficient, and instead of investigating to try to figure out where this money is going, why it's costing so much to do all their projects, we're just going to say, hey, pony up. Taxpayers are going to have to pay more. Do you think that taxpayers were sold a bill when they were saying things like, well, you know, if this doesn't get past, we're going to have to fire all the snowplow drivers, you know, down at Diamond Lake and, you know, in that sort of area?

Were they telling the truth about that when ODOT was. making those plans? Essentially, no. Because first, if they really, this is an essential service of government. Everyone agrees it should be funded, maintaining roads. And if that were really a top priority, as they say, they would have taken it right off the top with a few other things in the long session, and we would not be here. As far as ODOT itself, yes, we're talking again about we're going to eliminate the jobs people notice. When we talk about snowplowel, snowpile drivers in pothold, that's simply done to scare you. And I think there's probably a lot of other positions, bureaucratic positions.

Oh, we could have eliminated instead. I bet you that they'd probably run more efficiently with less money if I prioritize it, but of course we haven't, we don't have an analysis that. They're promising that they're going to do performance audits now regularly, and I doubt they're going to be detailed. Is there going to be anything? Have you kept a price? know if you get that granular in what Oregon Department of Transportation is doing. But you know

the multimodal push, which is, when they say multimodal, that means we'll do anything but make it easier for you to use your vehicle, your personal vehicle to get somewhere. And that's, of course, what's been deflecting Highway 62 and various other things. Is there anything in that budget, which would strip out that kind of funding, that multimodal agenda, which folks have never asked for. And really only progressive planners have been pushing hard for. Any thoughts on that, Senator? Yeah, there's nothing to strip out something like that. This is just giving O'Don more money to plug what they say as a budget hole. So, yeah, there's no projects in the bill, no nothing. It's just simply, we want more tax money. They've doubled registration fees, doubled,

doubled, when you go to the DMV, everything can be doubled or tripled, and the gas tax will be six cents higher. And this all goes into effect. When is this all going? to effect, by the way. When is the... Yeah, now this is where it becomes really critical, because it goes into effect in 90 days after signing diaries, for various reasons, two days for now. So the bill will go into effect in 90 days, but the governor has to sign it. Republicans are almost certainly going to attempt to get this put on the ballot. We had a motion to simply add to the bill that, hey, we know this is not popular with voters. Testimony has been 95.

against it. Oregon voters, Republicans, Democrats don't want their taxes raised. They just don't. So we asked the Democrats, we had a procedural vote. Can we just add something to this that says, let's put this on the ballot and ask the taxpayers, do you want to pay more? And then if the taxpayers vote for it, no problem. You know, it's like, hey, we asked for it. At least a majority of us asked for it. And so what can you do, right? Yeah. And that would, of course, we're complaining, telling them they're disregarding the voters and the people that are paying this bill, if they thought that Oregon taxpayers really wanted this,

they would have taken it, politically good for them. Everything will just refer to the voters, but they refuse to do that. Now, we're attempting Republicans are united against it on this. There's going to be an attempt to put this on the ballot. We have to gather about, and the targeted 100,000 signatures, but we have 90 days to do it in.

And there's an additional political football here because the governor can take up to 30 days to sign it. It is assumed. We don't know. It is assumed that she's going to wait 30 days to sign it because we can't collect the signatures until she signed it. So we have 30 days to get ready at least, and she's probably going to drag this out to give us as little time as possible to sign signatures on petitions to get this ODOT tax increase zonked, right? Yeah, that is what is assumed will happen. She hasn't said so. If she does, the thing she should do, she has an obligation at this point to let it to sign it early.

or actually she'd be better off to veto it, but that's not happening. Yeah. Hey, come on. Come on, no. A fella, even a state senator can dream, okay? You know, she could veto it. But she could find it early to give us the best chance to put it on the ballot again to let voters weigh in. That's if she is wishing to play fair, but I've seen no evidence she wants to do that so far.

I know, but you realize these laws, there's a lot of negotiation that goes on up here. but the purpose of the legislature is supposed to make the life easier for Oregonian. It's not a big football game, and this is clearly a case where we shouldn't just be taxing them, particularly without asking that they'd like to be taxed. So we want to get the message out. The petition drive, of course, it can't start yet until she signs and so forth, it's been organized, but there is going to be an effort to do that, and then we're going to need to collect these signatures very quickly.

And if we get, if we collect the necessary signatures in the right time, then the whole thing's put on hold until it can be put on the ballot, which would likely be the November ballot of next year. So even if you can just get enough signatures to say, hey, you're going to put it on the ballot, that stops it all from going into effect right away then after the 90 days. That's right. Okay, so that's a good deal. That would be a good deal for we taxpayers.

Then I guess the question is, is there another special session or an emergency session in order to take care of the next emergency that the stoppage of the first bill did? I'm just curious. How's that work? Well, they can do that, yes. And we're a little wondering. The Constitution allows special sessions, it does not give a time limit for special sessions. Right. But it is implied. They're supposed to be for special emergencies that come up.

There's general agreement we need to quick solve a problem. They're usually in and out. But this is a political disagreement. This is not really an emergency that we're talking about. It's not an emergency. And if it's an agreement, you have one party ramming this through, and the other party completely opposed. And then I'm very glad that Gorsick as well, and they managed to bring them in a wheelchair to vote. But that should not have been necessary, because when you call a special session, there should be enough agreement that you don't have to worry about one vote. So this was irresponsible. This was by the skin of their teeth.

Okay? That's how they got it passed. Or by the wheelchair, Gorsuch's wheelchair availability. I think is what we're talking about. All right. All right. So we got 30 days, up to 30 days to wait, and Governor Kotech may or may not sign it early, and if she does, then the clock starts ticking, but one way or the other, we've got to get

more than 100,000 signatures around the state within 90 days of the end of the session, right? That's right. So we essentially have to the end of the year. We have to the end of the year to make this happen, right? That's right. And it's assumed that she's going to wait. We don't know for certain if, for some reason, she signs it early. early, there's going to be an effort to get to start the signatures, and I'll be on the radio

telling everybody, sign. We need to start now. Sign now, yeah. It'll be a month, but we don't know. All right. State Senator, Noah Robinson, will you appreciate the update? I know you have committee meetings to go into five minutes you turn into a pumpkin, okay? So I'll let you go.

But keep us in the room. Could you do that? I'll do that. Thank you very much. You really appreciate being on. You bet. Appreciate having him on, too. So that's what we're looking at right now.

If Tina Kotech, Governor Kotech signs the bill right away, then you have up three KMED. By the way, we will have a Diner 62 quiz coming up in the next few minutes. In the next few minutes, so hold still and see if we can get you in. Great question. It involves radio broadcast. A little bit of history, going back way in the days. I'm still loving. I don't know if you heard earlier this morning.

I was kind of on a, kind of a sarcastic tear here. I got my hunter communications notice about them digging up the street. But they're not going to actually dig up the street here because it says, Dear Neighbor, we're excited to share some great news. Your neighborhood is one of the first to experience our new construction method, micro-trenching. It's like, ooh. Don't you love this? It's like they're saying, okay, we're going to be tearing up the street,

but we're not tearing up quite as nice as it was before. But all I can say is that out in East Medford, we are proud to experience that new construction method, micro-trenching, the faster, low-impact way to install fiber by cutting a narrow trench in the street. And with this upgrade, neighbor, you'll soon join affordable pricing. Well, you know, we have to talk with Cherise about that. I had no wires now because I know that she's saying that if Hunter is hitting you up for a connection like they were for me, talk with her first. I'll ask her about that here in the next few minutes. But that's my pebble in the shoe Tuesday, okay? Pebble in your shoe Tuesday.

All right, all right, 7705-633. What's on your mind? Let me go to it. Hi, who's this? Welcome. This is V. Hi, V. What's going on with you?

Hey. Huh? What's going on with you, Vee? Well, I was calling for the game. Ah, you know, when I said that we're going for the Diner 6th, quiz, I said, in the next few minutes. I know that's why I wanted to get in line. Oh, okay.

So you're an overachiever. You're an overachiever. Once I start working, I officially kind of start working two minutes. So I made the phone call before I started working. Well, I'll tell you what, do you want me to start it right now? I can start the quiz right now if you want. Okay, thank you. Okay.

All right. So because of V, and V's already here, I could do it now. It's all right. So here we go, 7705633. V, we're going to find out if you're the winner just by being like the teacher's pet and calling in first. Okay? Oh, wow. What a dream come true.

Oh, it is. It is a dream come true. Diner 62, the Real American Quiz. And I have to tell you, they served me a Denver omelet Friday that was like, oh, it was like being in heaven. Good step, like good heaven, not purgatory, good heaven. And what I had what I had to was amazing was that 62 Supreme sandwich. Oh my gosh, it was so huge. Now see, there it is.

You're trying to sway the judge when we're doing this quiz. Yeah, I could barely get through half of it. You have to get one of the 62 Supreme. And you know something else that you really like? Have you ever had the fajita omelet? No. Oh, fajita omelet. It's not cheap because it is filled with meat, but it is worth every penny.

Linda and I bought one of those on Sunday. Linda and I bought one of those Sunday, and we split. So here we go. Now that we have the lines filled, because they're hoping that you're going to screw this up, V, okay? It is tomorrow in history, Wednesday, October 1st, 1920. Scientific America has a report. They report that the rapidly developing medium of radio broadcasting would soon be used broadcast music. Now remember this is

1920, right? So broadcasting music, it was pretty big deal at that time. A revolution in the role of music in everyday life was about to be born. It was been, or had been well known for some years that by placing a form of a telephone transmitter in a concert hall

or anywhere music is being played, the sound may be carried over telephone wires to an ordinary telephone receiver at a distant point, started the bulletin. But it is only recently that a method of transmitting music by radio has been found possible. Arguments about radio's origin, V, persist to this day, but its basic workings have been

understood for about 20 years. However, after World War I, radio began transitioning from scientific curiosity to practical technology. However, it is commonly accepted, V, that a song was indeed transmitted over radio in 1904. The question, what was the very first song transmitted? via radio. Oh. So I have a few selections here for you.

Do I take a shot? I'm so glad. All right. A. Swing low, sweet chariot. B. Oh, Holy Night. C. The Star Spangled Banner. D. Sweet Adeline. Or was it E? Flight of the Bumblebee. What do you think?

Okay. Now this is in America. This is in America. It's in 1904. This is the very first song ever broadcast. on radio. Do we know what month it was? No, I can't I can't tell you. I don't know. Then I'll have to say the Star Spangled Banner. You're going to say Star Spangled Banner. That's the smart

choice, but not the right one. I'm seeing. But the, now you've got to go to work. I'm sorry, but thanks for playing. All right. See, there it is. She got the quiz started early, and yet it still didn't work. Anyway,

hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello? this is Peggy. Peggy. It's not the Star-Spangled Manor. Very first song this week, 1904. No, it wasn't this week, though, but Scientific Americans said that soon we were going to be talking about, you know, music and radio. What was the first song broadcast on radio? Was it Swinglow, sweet chariot, oh, holy night, sweet Adeline, or Flight of the Bumblebee? That da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. You know, what do you think? Yes, I like Flight of the Bumblebee. I'll take that one. You're taking that one.

I'm sorry. Peggy. I wasn't trying to sway her. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hello. Hello.

Hi. Who's this? Robo. Okay, Robo. Swinglow, sweet chariot. Oh, Holy Night or Sweet Adeline? What was the first song that is reportedly played on broadcast radio? Swing low.

Swing low, sweet chariot. Sounds good, too. not the one robo we'll go to line four hi good morning who's this this is carrie we either have oh holy night or sweet adeline that barbershock

song a barbershop quartet song what do you think let's go with oh holy night oh holy night you're a winner yes many reliable sources indicate the very first song

transmitted by radio was the Christmas Carol O'Holy Night. It was played by inventor Reginald Fessenden on his violin, and it was a Christmas Eve broadcast in 1906. The broadcast sent from Brant Rock, Massachusetts, also included a reading from the Gospel of Luke and was heard by radio operators on Shipset C, making it a pretty key pivotal moment for audio transmission.

So 1904, like 121 years ago, first music really broadcast. So good going. You're headed over to Diner, 62. Hang on, and we'll play this again in a day or two, okay? Finding great candidates to hire can be like... It is pebble in your shoe Tuesday. Dave, you have a pebble or something else going on? What are you thinking?

Well, if we start off, that's old. Okay, okay, what was this now? Okay, let's reposition your head, okay? So we need to get it out of your head so I can hear you. All right. One more time. you go. Right. Micro-chinching has been around forever. It's just a four-inch-wide trench, two-feet deep, and they've got, you know, trenches that do that. And you don't have to go two feet.

Oh, so this is the memo that I ended up getting from... Right. I started laughing. Prohunter Fiber. They're acting like its new technology. It's been around forever. Well, no, hey, I was feeling really proud of our neighborhood because we were one of the first neighborhoods to experience the new technology of microtrenching. Now, of course, with fiber optic for the, you know, for the Internet, though, that might be, you know, more narrow, might be just a little slid, really, could be, because it's very tiny, right? Well, they could plow it in, but you can't do it in asphalt.

Uh-huh. Do it in dirt. Okay. They can plow it in, and I've done a lot of that, too. But what I was going to talk to about the U.S. a lady from the Justice Department. Oh, yeah, Harmey, Dylan. Yeah, sure. Yeah, how am he doing?

Smart lady, if she already won a civil suit against Al Tifa. But when you asked her about, you know, what they're going to do with Al Titha, that hit a vein because she can't really talk about ongoing investigation. Yeah, no, I get that. And I guess, you know, when I said, like, that's why I redirected and I said, well, when I said on the case, I wasn't speaking of a specific case. I meant like, you know, is there something which is being looked at, you know. Right. And I guess that... I can guarantee you that they've got...

They've added FBI agents to Portland, and they probably brought in, you know, prosecutors from the Justice Department to aid the U.S. Attorney's Office out of there out of Portland. I would be curious if what is also going on there is... Well, President Trump, let me finish my thought, though, and then I'll let you go. President Trump brings the troops in there, draws the Antifa goons, kind of like flies to honey, you know, that kind of thing, or bees to honey, that sort of thing. What do you think? Oh, we lost you. All right. Hi, good morning.

Who's this? Welcome. Bill Brad here. Good morning to you. Hello, Brad. You are officially big time. I mean, oh, my gosh. Army, Dylan, on your show, you are the.

man, Bill. Oh, that's very kind of you. Wow. So what is your spidey sense say? So you mentioned, so going back to 2016, we have the origins of BLM, Indivisible, and Antifa showing up in Oregon. What is your spidey sense tell you about the possibility that all of these left-wing activist organizations share organizational structure, staff, and maybe even some funding streams? What do you think? I would say the odds are pretty good. There would have to be some pretty tough to follow cutouts. Wouldn't you agree with me on that? Because everything about Antifa is about plausible deniability.

It's a very, it's not really a centralized kind of group. You know, that sort of thing. Very much distributed power from what we understand, how that is constructed. So when Denise Susa did his documentary, 2,000 mules, the way that they started pulling on the string unraveling things is they follow these geo-sensitive cell phone. Yeah, geo-tracking. Geo-track them.

Yeah, so I heard the question that you just asked. So now that we've got Trump has attracted all of these antivotypes up there in the Portland area, it's maybe kind of reasonable to imagine that maybe there's some enhanced investigative stuff going on that's going to yield a lot of interesting information. What do you think? I think it probably will. It's going to take following the money, though, because that's very important, because someone's paying for the groups of blocks that are left at riot zones, etc. Someone's paying for the equipment, the masks and the various other things, the breathing apparatus that you'll see in some of these places. Someone's paying for that. It's organized

on some level. Appreciate the call. Thank you for that, Brad. 7705-633. Tabble in your shoe Tuesday. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hi, it's Cherry, Cherry. Hi, Cherry. You're going to be a pallet cleanser. What's going on?

Yes, I am. I'm a little ticked off at my Ocelot tabby mix. I call him an awful lot. Uh-huh. Because we had to change two doorknobs because he can now open the door to the laundry room and close it behind him. and open it again, and now he's gone into my walk-in closet, where there's a lot of plastic things, a lot of, you know... Oh, does he chew up plastic stuff?

Yes. Oh, yeah, it's just like Chester. Just like our late Chester. You bet. I know. I know. Now, think about this, Cherry. Just think, when cats evolve to develop opposable thumbs,

then that won't even work, will it? You know, getting a round doorknob. That won't do anything. That won't help. That's correct. So, but I mean, it's going to the store and having to, and my hubby, you know, had to install it. And he put the old plate on the, I said, you know, you don't put the old plate on new. That's like pouring old wine and new wine skin, right, and all that.

But he can not only open the door and get inside. he can close it. Wow. He jumps up and with both paws just leans against the door. It's actually quite adorable. I think that dogs and cats and pets in general have probably evolved just by being around humans. And so eventually just by nature of observation, they have developed more skills than they would have otherwise. What about you?

Yes. Yes, I, yes, they have. Yeah. Now, what I want to do, if the cats can observe me, and take the trash out and do various other things. I would love them even more, okay? All right. Thank you, Cherry.

Hi, who's this? Good morning. Hey, Bill. It's Patricia. Hi, Lucretia. How are you this morning? I need some warning, but hey. We're going, baby. What's up? Oh, I just really want to tell you. I appreciate you reading out Randy's thoughts about all the lives where I fed today. With all these events that is going to take us into a future that looks like a transhumanism agenda of total mind control.

Okay, if you were going to go down Randy's rabbit hole, Randy from Ashland, who wrote, what do you believe, what do you believe would be the point of covering up the evidence in Charlie Kirk's? Assuming this is where you're going, a lot of people are not really down with the standard story of what's being. done. Yeah, there was too much, you know, everything from the pastor saying that Kurt was on the road 320 days a year. You're not a good father or a husband doing that. That Trump called him a master builder, that he is wife and his other bodyguard or whoever the tall guy is, all wore Masonic rings. You know, what I mentioned about Adam Wonshop, how, you know, is there nothing where we can't be made to believe if we just believe all their stuff we take it well well most people and and i don't know if i even believe what you i don't know if i go if i'm going even where you're going with uh the talk

of the masonic rings etc but the point the fact of the matter is though my main focus though is the evidence that has been presented has holes in it okay and there's no doctor there's no proof of it yeah i know but there has to be and i'm sure at some point they're going to have to say something because if there's going to be a trial, there's going to have to be evidence connecting him directly. Now, DNA to a rifle, connecting your DNA to a rifle that can't be connected to a bullet that supposedly was found just underneath someone's skin, you know, but I know that most people probably just go to sleep on this. That's all. Right. No, it's amazing how we just accept things, and yet Albert Pike said they were going to use that.

You know, you look at the Republicans going along with this whole evolution. This is just totalized. It was brought to us by all the Texas's grandfather, Prescott. Okay. Well, I don't have time to get into that rabbit hole today. But I appreciate your call, as always. As always, Lucretia. Thank you.

It is 847. All right. You know, I dodged a bullet there because, you know, it wasn't like 50 doctors, you know, being mentioned in there about that. Speaking of doctors, maybe you're 65, returning 65, and if you are in Medicare already, you know that the annual enrollment begins October 15th and, oh, are you going to be spun? It's going to end December 7th. Medicare Advantage, prescription drug plans, they change every year. It is important for you to review your plan for price and benefit changes.

Now then, if you don't have an agent, it doesn't cost you anymore to have one. Might I suggest this person for an agent? That would be Lynn Barton at Sky Park Insurance. Her number is 541-49-0-9-58. 541-4-9-0-9-8. Lynn would be thrilled. She'd be honored to help you navigate what can be a confusing array of options.

There's whole sorts of options, and you've got to choose now, because if you don't choose now, you're not able to change it in the middle of the year. You just can't do this, okay? A lot of details. Call Lynn Barton right now at Sky Park, 499-9-958.

Now, the way it works here is, and like I said, you can tell. text message, a picture of your bill, and you pretty much handle all of this. And by the way, I just ended up getting the notice because they're doing micro-trenching in my neighborhood. I got the big letter, a big letter from, what's that now?

For Hunter? Oh, yeah, for Hunter. Hunter, Fiber. And they're micro-trenching. And we're really proud to be bringing micro-trenching. Okay, they're going to dig the street up slightly. Okay, but yeah, and I sell Hunter, so come see me. I'll help you get Hunter and then help you lower your bills. If you get a service from me, I help you lower everything for free. Okay. If you're not getting a service from me and I'm just lowering bills, I charge a little small fee to do that. Okay. All right. Just wanted to understand that. So let's say if Spectrum or somebody else or even Hunter or whoever it is, even Dish, is charging you too much, and you don't have it through you, then you charge the fee, but still you'll just do that. You're

happy to do that then, right? Yeah. If you get like cell phone service from me or internet service or TV service, then for free, I help you lower your bill. If you just want me to lower your Internet bill and you're not getting a service, then, you know, I charge a small fee for that. Okay, fair enough. And what's the difference between, you know, like calling Hunter with the micro-trenching memo that I just got with him or calling you? What are we getting?

What's different? That's a good question. So the person that comes to your door is probably from another state, Utah. They're just there to hurry up and sign you up. They don't care if it works out. I don't care of it if the price is right or wrong. They just want the sell. It's different through me.

I have a store here. I live here. So wouldn't you rather sign up with somebody that can take care of you if you have issues? And then the other issue is, too, you know, they're not going to help you lower your cell phone and your TV bills. I will. Okay. Give me an example of a way to lower both right now, some of your offers you have at no worries. Yeah.

So right now, brand-new Internet service, I can get you for $30 a month. and free cell phone service for a whole year. So for $30, you can get your Internet and your cell phone service. And I have free phones. So if you need a new phone, I can get you a brand new phone for free. And who is that through? Can we talk about that? That's through Spectrum.

That's through Spectrum offers the $30 plan with the free cell phone service for a year. So you've had Hunter, if you had a bad experience with Spectrum, and you switched to Hunter a year ago or so, and you sign up with me through Spectrum, and I switch you back to Spectrum, it's $30 for both. Okay. It's no contract. I can always switch you back to Hunter.

Now, if you have Spectrum and you can get Hunter, like by Bill Meyer, I can switch you and then help you cancel your old service. Like, I do extra things that no one else does. Yeah. I'm actually okay with Spectrum right now for my particular needs. Plus, I also have my cell phone through that. Is that deal still going on right now? Yes.

Yes, I got you and Linda two lines, Verizon Cell Phone Service. no contract tax free for $30 a month for two lines. Yeah, for two lines. A whole year. Yeah, that works pretty well. Yeah, and then we lowered your spectrum Internet bill. I think the Internet was like, I've seen some people's bill that are $100 a month. For the Internet?

Really? Internet, yes. If you're paying that, you're paying way too much, you've got to come talk to me. So essentially, you call them up then and browbeat them into submission. Yeah. And then they usually lower it. Okay. Well, the thing is, though, nobody has covered.

contracts anymore, and it costs a lot more to try to get a new customer to come in than it does probably to keep someone happy. Is that a fair way of looking at that? And that's how you're able to be successful here to keep someone who's already there with someone? Yeah, yeah, of course. I mean, everyone has a different situation like that guy that called in. I mean, everybody's situation is different. So it's kind of like you've got to come see me, talk to me, and then I'll look at what you got, and I'll say, hey, we could do this, we could do that, and I'll save you two grand a year. year and people are like wow yeah let's do it okay now the thing is there are restrictions apply talk to chris and get all the details we're just spitball it on various things right now is part

If you have direct TV, I can switch you to Dish, get you three months free service, and guess what? We got the Sunday ticket back. So Dish has the football Sunday ticket. So if you guys are paying all that money for YouTube, Sunday ticket, come talk to me. Okay. 541-680-5875. Write me if you missed that, but it's 541-680-5-875.

So if you haven't switched to Spectrum, I'm going to be giving away $50 visa gift cards if you sign up with me on Monday. And that'll be next Monday. Next Monday, I'll be in Shady Cove. If you want a house call, I'll come by your house, give me a call, and I'll take care of you. All right, out there working for everybody. Thanks, Sheree. See you next time.

Thanks, Bill. Bye now. Open for business. It's 856. If your garage or overhead shop door. 57 and change. Mark Lee Van Cabin Robbins coming up here in the next few minutes. I wanted to share a quick email. Matt sent me an email over the weekend because there was a great article at Epic Times. Oklahoma overrun with Chinese operated marijuana farms. What to know. Chinese

gangs taking advantage of loose marijuana rules in Oklahoma to grow and transport weed to other states for sale on the black market, this according to authorities. And the Oklahoma narcotics officials telling Congress that the total amount of marijuana worth 153 billion is unaccounted for in likely leaving the state for the black market in other states. This doesn't sound all that different from what we've been dealing with here in Southern Oregon, right? We won't have it happen. And then the raid comes and then only a few people get arrested and all the other workers, of course, Sanctuary State picked up. And Matt sent me that story. It was an interesting story.

Thank you, Matt. and he said, Bill, this is what I told our sheriff on your show right after weed was legalized for recreation after my license plates were stolen off of my truck. I told him that it would cost much more to buy weed legally, and soon the tokers would go right back to buying their weed from Bubba in Selma. This quote is from an article just published from Epic Times. Since 2022, the state has shut down more than 6,000 illegal growing operations. most U.S. states have made marijuana legally available, but taxes and regulations have pushed up its price, leaving an opening for black market sales.

All legalizing weed did bill was to give cover to criminals to grow and sell into the black market. In the case of Oklahoma, it's Chinese gangs. Here, of course, it's probably a different type of cartel gang. Point well taken, Matt, another email of the day. Emails of the day are sponsored by Dr. Steve Nelson. Central Point Family Dentistry, Freeman Way right next. to the Mawson Lawn Mexican restaurant. Wheels up Wednesday tomorrow, and we will talk then.
