It doesn't have to be about Trump. It could be anything which has happened.

What's been going on with Josephine County? What about this moving of the date of the tax foe? All sorts of things. whatever. We can even talk about why are people so fascinated with the Nancy Guthrie disappearance? I'm still kind of scratching my head. I was watching

some coverage with Linda about that the other day, and then it's the same stuff repeated and regurgitated, but there's never anything really new. I don't know. Maybe, why are we so plugged in on that one? What are we being distracted from? You know, the one thing I must say, though, I know that we are

a Fox News affiliate, and I like Fox News Radio. I really do, especially. I honestly think that CNN does a better job on that coverage. I know. Throw it up on my mouth a little bit when I say that. But I think I know what's going on. I think CNN is trying to figure out some way to compete against. You know, they ended up getting rid of the Don Lemons and, you know, all that sort of thing. But I've noticed that CNN seems to be trying to turn itself back into a cable news channel for adults.

Has anybody else noticed that, you know, a little less of the whooshing and overproducing and, you know, who was the noisy anchor kind of thing? I just noticed that, but I figured that out for the first time just watching some of their Nancy Guthrie stories. But let me know, huh? 770KM&E. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Hey, Bill.

It's Steve from Medford. Wild Salmon. What's going on? Yes. Well, I wanted to have a little palate cleanser. I'm good with that. You had Chad McCorms on, I don't know, probably a year ago talking about the Joy community here in Medford. Yeah.

I'd like to just follow up a little bit on that. He's raised $800,000. They have now 11 units and three more under construction. By the way, he's going to be one of the speakers at the Lincoln Day dinner a week from Saturday at Road Valley Country Club when they get together. So he's going to be speaking on such matters. Yeah. Well, I would just like to say, you know, these are people that have been left out by society. They're mostly older people who had some Social Security, got burned out, had some reason that they lost their house.

Well, there are times in which a spouse dies. You have a spouse dies, and then the other, what's left in the money coming in doesn't pay for it. And then you end up being out on the street. Not uncommon. Not uncommon. No, they have ability to build around 100 units there, and they have over 100 applications. They're not taking any more applications, just to kind of give you an idea of how much need there is for this. And I am just amazed.

I went down there, and he gave us a presentation. We looked around. I belonged to the Anglican Church in Jacksonville, and we've been providing a meal. No, I shouldn't say we. They have been, some of my friends are providing a meal once a month for the community there. You know, just nice people. They appreciate having some communion with other folks and a hot meal cooked by somebody else. I'm just amazed what a wonderful opportunity that is.

In this awful world where so much is going on is a place that you can make a difference. Thank you for bringing it up to a good palate cleanser. wild salmon, Steve. 770K.mody. Hi, good morning. Hello. Hello. Hi. Hi, Bill. It's Francine. Okay, I know you call before. I'll give you another bite since it is conspiracy theory.

Yeah, but that was to ask a question. That wasn't like expressing my conspiracy theory, Thursday's theory. All right. Well, now you take your second bite. Go. Okay. I'm not calling to debate chem trails with you. That is not what I'm doing. Okay. Let's just. For arguments sake, the idea of Kim Trails, and you say, it's just a distraction. No, that's not what I say. No, no, well, essentially, that's kind of, you know, it's just... No, that's not what, no, that's not what I'm saying.

So I'm going to take you on at your initial point. My thing is, though, is that, of course they, of course geoengineering and weather modification exists, okay? I'm saying, though, that if you can't even stop your own local city from doing something, when it comes to even your bike lanes, how the hell do you expect to affect climate change, which is way above your pay grade? Well, you're basically helpless in this. So I choose to focus on things and actionable intelligence stuff,

things that we can actually do something about, okay? Well, I agree with you on that point. All right. But the fact that they exist is part of the big picture that should not be, you know, poo-poot away because, I mean, the, what's it, Rosalind, And Peterson, who passed away, she was from California. She did years and years of studying on this. And she has, you know, evidence of many, an increased amount of aluminum in the ground and in the trees and stuff like that.

Yeah. You see, I look at that as nonsense because aluminum in the trees and in the ground, aluminum is one of the most common elements in our world and in our soils and always has been. It's naturally occurring. I know that, but there is also other forms of aluminum that are not naturally occurring that have been detected in the ground and in the trees. Okay, maybe we can talk about that, but still, once again, to what end? All right. And all I would say, and all I would say is that the chemtrail rain falls on the rich and powerful as much as it does on the poor and indigent, okay? Right, okay.

So, aluminum makes things burn hotter and how many weird, incredible, horrible, over-the-top fires have been going on for years now? And who got burned out in California? Okay. Well, you know what I want to say about that? I think that the idea of aluminum causing fires is nonsense. But you know what I don't think is nonsense? You know what I don't think is nonsense? The rise of directed energy weapons.

Okay? So there it is. Okay. I agree with you on that. But let me say one more thing. I did not say it was the cause of fires. I said it exacerbates the burning. It makes it hotter.

It's just part. It's a little, you don't know. Well, I think you understand. But some people don't. The menescul little things that they do to push what their goal is of taking control of everything and getting rid of, you know, lowly people that are being cold. You could be right about that. You could be right.

It's a mass genocide action as the population continues to grow and lifespans continue to extend. Yeah. All right. One of these things is not like of the other. But all right. I will agree and disagree on some of that. All right. Have at it.

770K. Amy D. Right back. How clean is your water? Here's a note from Grants Pass water left. Now more with Bill Meyer. Always fun and entertaining here, the Bill Meyer show with the K. And it's open phone time on conspiracy theory Thursday, 7705633, 770 KMD.

Let me go to Dave. Dave, good to have you on. You wanted to respond to state rep Wayne Younger's talk last hour. Go ahead. Yeah, regarding your last caller, I got a laugh out of that. That aluminum is the problem with the fires. The fires is that we don't put them out, okay, like we used to. But anyway, maybe that's for another day.

Yeah. So look, I appreciate Yonker and kind of what they're doing. through. But, you know, my part of really my thought is, and this sounds really harsh, is if you're a Republican up there and you want a friend, get a dog. Okay. The Republican Party in this state has been nothing more than a punching bag for a long time. And when we get on and say, well, I'm going to back this guy because he's a really nice guy and he's really smart and he runs a business and he has good ideas. And that's great. But the bottom line is how much money do you have?

Okay? Because if you're running for governor in this state, you're fighting the public employee unions who give the Democrats millions, the environmental community that gives them millions. We've got Soros now that'll give them millions. And, you know, the Democrat National Committee will pour money in here to keep the state blue.

Oh, yeah, they'll do everything they can for it. And also, to your point, I think I would mention is that, I don't know if you read, but they are delaying that campaign finance reform bill, which was passed a couple of years ago. And you can figure why. The last thing that Democrats want to do is actually restrict the ability of all that pack money to come in from out of state. They don't want to do that. You know that.

Yeah. And Bill, I'll again and you want to, you know, win in the state, then you better go, you better go toe to toe with these people. Okay. And you better, you know, you've got to play nasty. I'm not saying illegal, but you've got to play nasty. And you've got to have the money to go toe to toe to with them. To me, that's the first step. I'm not saying.

Yeah, money's not every. I guess what I'm hearing from you, Dave, he said, money's not everything, something that Linda, being a political consultant that she is always tells me. Money's not everything, but it's not nothing, right? Somebody. I mean, they're still destroying the state. All right. Good point, and thanks for making it, Dave. 770KMED.

Steve from Sunny Valley, Steve, you wanted to talk about that economic conversation I had with Ken Raposa. Fire away. Yeah, I think he made it a little more complicated than it really has to be. When I was in college, I went down to the Bay Area for my general ed, and I had the opportunity to take economics with Dr. Mack, who he also taught at Stanford and very well-respected economists. And what he pointed out is that the buyer has the power. And America is the only country with a large enough middle class to support the industrialization of the rest of the world.

And access to that market is worth a lot. China has huge production manufacturing capabilities, but they have no place to sell it except America. So if we charge them access to the market, which is what tariffs are, it's not a way to raise money, which is what the Constitution gave it to Congress for. It's a way – we didn't have that power back when the Constitution was written. We weren't a huge market, but now we are in access to that market will keep the dollar the nominate currency in the world. Well, I've noticed that China, on the other hand, does seem to be getting other buyers. for their products. In fact, they don't seem to be too upset that they are being shut out of some of our markets.

Does that give you any pause at all? No, because the rest of the world combined doesn't have the market that the United States does. All right. Steve, I appreciate your opinion, as always. That's why it's here on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Glenn R. Shambo, Glenn, you were listening to that conversation about Canada, Canada kind of backing away from being more U.S. friendly as it was in the past there. But you're looking at it from energy. Is that kind of your take on it? Yes, Bill. Energy is a huge issue between Canada and the United States.

And I'm sitting here this morning on my interstate gas pipeline out of Canada, right here in Phoenix, Oregon. Few people know that, that we have this very cozy history with the Canadians when it comes to energy. And it appears to be getting a little less cozy, as a little bit. late. But we didn't dig up all the pipelines and send the Canadians packing. That's true. We're still doing business with them. Okay, we can argue about you getting closer to the European Union, and you can hold up your sign that says welcome migrants, but we still want your gas, right? Oh, and the expertise and all the infrastructure that goes with it, I mean, if you got up in the air or if you look at a map between the U.S., Canada, Oregon, Washington State, we are a huge energy spot.

And that's really important to understand. And years ago, when they put in some of this lines, they talked about partners in progress. And that was the Canadians, the Americans, the big part of the American economy were going to utilize all this natural gas out of Canada. And we built the pipelines, and they're out there running right now. But, boy, it sounds like a really harsh relationship between Canada and the United States right now. Do you think it's just for show? You know, the Canadians are pretty serious gas people. I mean, they say they're going to do something, and they do it.

And they did do it here in the Rogue Valley. You know, they came all the way from Canada down to Little Old Phoenix, Oregon. No, I don't think it was a show. I think they really intended to make money on that deal. Hmm. It is a complicated subject, Bill. Don't worry. Thank you for complicating it further.

Thank you for complicating it further, Glenn. 770 KMED on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Dave's here. Dave, you've been patiently holding on. Good morning. Yeah. I wanted you to say, I've been involved in a study group in the past. for iHARPA, it's intelligent advanced research project activity through the Director of National

Intelligence. And one of the things I did was I put a proposal together. They put a strategic mineral thing together because of national security and that it's important. And now Trump has adopted it. So you're implying that Trump adopted your national security suggestion? A study group. Oh, a study group. Oh, okay.

All right. Yeah. And then they're not doing anything with blockchain anymore because they've adopted it for national security. All right. And, oh, and they haven't adopted all the proposals because I'd like to see. Elon Musk with his boring company, Bill Robots, to do underground mining. So we don't have to do strip mining. We can just mine underground and use robots.

Yeah, just wait for the money to roll in. All right, Dave. 770KMED, have at it. It's open phones on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. You heard a good one? Have a good take on a current one.

My niece ended up writing Linda, my sweet-beat, and was saying, well, she started, ended up going on a healthier food kick recently, wanting to lose some weight, doing all sorts of other things,

and so we're telling her to look at the labels, right? She says, why does Kirkland Frozen Chicken have aspartame in it? You know, that sweetener like they put in the Coke and the Pepsi and, you know, all the diet foods like that, aspirin. What would aspirin be in there? So I wanted to put that conspiracy theory to rest. Yes, it is true. Frozen chicken breasts quite often have aspartame in it

because of all of those brines and those flavor enhancers. You know, when you see those labels on the package that say containing up to such and such percent of liquid, you know, or water, like a water-like device. And it's all about that. I guess some of these brines and various extra solutions have sweetener in it. Aspartame. And I guess this is going right down the American rabbit hole of everything, including hamburger

buns, has to taste like sugar, which I think is nonsense, but that is what we're at. So, yeah, I don't think that there's any reason for aspartame to be in frozen chicken breasts either. So thank you very much for my niece for noting this. I never read that. Okay. Yeah, we've got to add that. But back to your conspiracies. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Good morning, Bill. It's David again. I just wanted to throw out that there are things we can do, maybe not about chemtrails or aspartame or a lot of things. But we are the greatest consumers, whether it's China, needing us or Europe or Canada, where we shop and how we spend our money. does have an effect. And I'd like to get people to look at the woke companies like Costco

and Amazon and Amazon Prime and Target and things from Canada like maple syrup and Mexico like avocados and see if people can, for just a short amount of time to save America, be a little more thoughtful in their shopping where they go and maybe eat simpler diets. and maybe not have to go to Hollywood movies or have cable TV or NFL sports packages. And maybe just by millions of people taking $20, $50, $100 a month away from taxes and away from some of these corporations and local companies that are all in, it might have an effect. And I'd just like to throw that out there.

I appreciate you throwing them out. Thank you, David. 770 KMED. We go next on Conspiracy Theory Thursday to Line 2. Hi, good morning. Hey, good morning, Bill. This is Michael. Hi, Michael. I just can't decide whatever I want to go with us, but I got a great business idea for the time. Maybe you can run it by your Uncle Fred, but it's a pawn-in-shop grocery store.

I like that. and shop, rather, in other words, you bring the family jewels in and you, and you pawn those, and then you go get the protein. Is that it? Yeah, something like that. You need to have different lines for like a second mortgage line. You got the car, you know, collateral line and the children, you know, sign them all up, you know, and just use them as collateral for your groceries. Okay, yeah. Hang on to the kid until I'm done. I can check out, get my kid back. If I, unless the, unless the,

the debit card doesn't clear, right? Yeah, there you go. All right. You know, that's an interesting one, Michael. I'm going to have to consult my pillow on that, but it makes me laugh just right off the top of it. I hope we don't have to go there, all right? Line 3. Good morning. You're on. Conspiracy Theory Thursday.

Hi, who's this? Hi, this is Vicki from the Applegate. Hello, Mickey. I'm not in the early bird club this morning. I'm kind of running late, But I just wanted to comment on the trans killers because... Yeah, the BC school shooter. Yeah. I suspected that right off.

I didn't even talk about that story the first take. I'm thinking, we don't know the whole story, and I'm thinking that there was a trans connection, and boom, there it is. They finally admit it. Well, and that's the thing. If you look back over, especially like the last year, they have portrayed these people as being women. Well, first of all, I know that there's a lot of women that don't have. children or don't have the maternal instinct that a lot of the women are born with originally,

and then when you have a child, it's amped up a billion percent. But I really, the fact that they're portraying these people as women, that screams mental health, first of all. Well, yeah, and to your point, Royal Canadian Mounted Police described that school shooter as a female in a dress. A female. A female is a specific scientific term, really. Exactly. They, their terminology, and it's all about sympathy for these people that are confused and they want to be this and they're really that. I think a lot of the trends men that are trying to be women, honestly, is because whatever happened to them in their childhood, whether their dad was overbearing, whether their mother was overbearing,

They tried to make them masculine when they weren't quite as... Yeah, daddy, mommy, issues, whatever. Okay, whatever the problem is. Get in line. Right. And it's making these people... It just is giving women, not just in sports, but it's making it seem like there's a bunch of psycho-beeps out there, women, that are killing children, killing other...

You know, just killing. Now, the thing is, though, it's not going to be the trans. It's going to be the liberal... The liberal white women are the crazed ones, though, right? You'll agree with me there, right? What makes me angry is that it's the discrimination part. They want everyone to feel a certain way about these poor people that are confused. Well, they need help.

Yeah. The way I've tended to look at this is that I also feel great sympathy for people with such confusion issues. But we correctly, for most of human history, would term that a mental illness. and up until just a few years ago, did term this mental illness. And now that, you know, now the culture has been attempting and quite successfully in many cases. Look, they even cowed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, right? Even cow them into buying a ticket to the crazy circus. And you're not only supposed to buy the ticket to the crazy circus.

You're supposed to promote the crazy circus. And anybody who is not in on the crazy circus, Bigot. Shut up. Not going to do it, though. Hi, good morning. KMED. Conspiracy Theory Thursday, got a good one.

Hello. Hi, Bill. Hey. Hi, Lucretia. Good morning. Okay. One other thing on Aspartame, besides being e-cholary excretement, it is known as a mind-control device.

That's luckily not working on your wife, but it's... Oh, no, no, no. No, no. We don't have aspartame. Well, it's in the water for the chicken. So if you're eating it, yeah, you get it that way. I know you stopped consuming it. That's great because the average person gains five pounds a year drinking that over,

just drinking a sugar drink based on stats. Anyway, I want to get to the Roe-Cone again because this is very important that this was who Trump lined with. Okay, okay. Okay, one more time. You're going back in history with Roy Cohn. What is the point of Roy Cohn being a Trump advisor back in the day? Because when he was serving for who, unless you know, he was serving for McCarthy,

they were going after all the gays because they thought they could easily be manipulated and controlled. And so he himself was a gay. you know, there was also the the football team that Trump was heading up, that they were suing, they were saying they were discriminating. I mean, it's really fascinating on this. Yeah, but you don't have time to explain

that whole thing. You need to make a point, though. Bottom line is that we took the guy that was controlling everything to exposing people being homosexual to who he was replaced with when he died, and I think it was 87, who he was was placed with was Einstein.

And now they're going after all the normal people, but somehow getting pictures of them or taking pictures of them and compromising positions with kids to control all of our people in Congress. And on top of that, Roy Cohn taught Trump to just fight back and literally sue them for billions, which on the news today I hear he's now suing somebody for $10 billion. And that's Internal Revenue Service. Yeah. And this is the same game from way back in the 70s.

Well, I don't look at that as a game, and I don't think it's specifically because of Roy Coleman's homosexuality, which is known about. I think it certainly is a strategy of a street fighter, would you not? Never apologize? Forward, forward, forward, forward, push, push. Is that, you know... But that doesn't provide a good honest government. It just provides, you know, like they...

It was interesting. He lost. He was given $1. It destroyed the USFL or something that was competing. Yeah, I don't want to get off on to the football thing. Okay, so since President Trump is associated with Roy Cohn, Roe Con, Rocon, rather, Cohen. Evil globalist gay guy, you know, et cetera, et cetera, that Trump is evil globalist gay guy. Is that kind of what you're implying? Or not a gay guy sympathizer. Epstein took that position, and he's aligned with Israel.

But it seems we're just doing all service and putting all in minutes at risk. Now, you're not supposed to mention that. I know. All right. So, well, that's why I say the story is not that we have scummy people, diddling kids, all right? Scummy people and people in general have dittle kids, not excusing it. to me the real question is what leverage has gotten what policies enacted because of the

diddling adults and the leverage against them by government intelligence agencies of either our own government or foreign powers to me that's a more important question but you know it doesn't stir and keep the well it doesn't keep the people yammering on cable television I guess. It has to be who, who, who, who. Okay, I'm thinking about what those whoos did. One of each K4 VIN 235-7-7-2 MSRP, TELU-RID-V-E-RU-VIN. 5. Oh, sorry, that is incorrect. We were looking for 26. We do, however, have a nice piece of advice as a consolation prize. Visit fontanarruping.com. Correct. The Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED.

Happy to take your calls on conspiracy theory Thursday. Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Hey, do you think the problems are all solved with the U.S. dollar? Don't worry about gold and silver. You'll be fine. Just go ahead. It'll all be there. 39 trillion.

It's okay. All right. Republicans and Democrats, they are working really hard to bring down the spending, the spending rather. Yeah, yeah, I know. That's, looks like physical gold and physical silver building a new base. at this point. May not be at that all-time high, but still pretty darn high.

All right? Do what you will. But whether you're looking to sell or buy, talk with the recognized experts. They'll help you out with this. Talk to your financial advisors, because there's always risk, no matter where you're putting your money. But if you're going to talk with somebody about physical gold and silver, talk to Jay Austin and company, golden silver buyers in Ashland, 6th and G in downtown Grants Pass, a 1632 Ashland Street in Ashland. They are still so busy because people are wanting to sell in or buy, and they've got them both.

They'll take care of you either way. Whether you're wanting to protect some wealth or skim some wealth out of what you've saved in the past. Talk to Jay Austin and company, gold and silver buyers. Fortunereserve.com. Fortunereserve.com. Back to the conspiracy theory Thursday calls. Good morning. Hi, who says?

Hello. Hey, Bill. It's Brad, good morning. Brad, go ahead. So today is January 12th. Trump got sworn in January 20th. You mean February 12th. Today's February 12th.

February, I'm only a month off. It's okay. So here's the thing. So we know that Doge got going 2 o'clock in the morning. We get these reports hundreds of hundreds, not of millions, but billions, hundreds of billions of dollars, hanky-panky. Bill, here's my question. When is the American public going to find out where did all that money go?

Who had their fingerprints on it? And when are people going to start going to jail? I mean, this is hundreds of billions of dollars. When our consequences is going to start happening? Nancy Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie. Well, you asked me. Yeah, that is kind of funny, isn't it, right?

Yeah, it is kind of funny. Yeah, Nancy Guthrie. I can't answer that. I will say that the United States of America governmental system right now, in spite of the fact that it is the land I love, all right? Much like the state of Oregon and also the state educational system, rather impervious to internal review and real reform. Can we agree on a little bit of that?

The system will always protect the system to an extent, kind of like the Oregon Education Association will always find a way to say, oh, I know the test scores are bad, but we need more money. The problem is more money, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't want to be defeatist about this. Something tells me that what will probably solve those problems someday would be just general insolvency

when there is no longer the ability to print something into existence to keep that status quo going. I'm not saying this out of happiness or that I just want to be defeatist about it. I'm just trying to be realistic about this. What, say you? What do you think? I think there's a lot of frustration on behalf of people that are paying, you know, they read these news reports, they listen to people like you, they hear this stuff, and they go, okay.

Now what? Yeah, now what? And the other thing is, is if there are no consequences, what is the anti-incentive for people to not do this hanky-panky anymore? If we're just going to shrug our shoulders and say, oh, well, it was only a couple of hundred billion dollars, you know, next, then we're, you know, honestly, why not do it? Why not try and get away with that stuff? Sure. Well, that's kind of what happens in, well, what was it, not the Cloward Prident people, but you know the folks that are

behind the fourth turning, that book the fourth turning? Yes. Remember those people? This is kind of the stage that we're in, the end stage fourth turning in which, people don't trust the institutions. They know this. And so it turns into more of a society in which, okay, well, how do I feather my nest? Whether I'm someone working for Oregon Department of Transportation leaning on my shovel, but I still want to make sure that my purrs is paid for, and then I'm going to have a place. And by the way, I'm not tarring all ODOT people.

I'm just using, you know, broad, broad terms. And same with teachers and same with government or folks. you know, the ones who are the lifers there. It's just about how can I get mine? And it does tend as you have that breakdown and rule of law. Society will tend to corrode. And then if we don't watch it here, Brad, we're all going to be Somalis. Okay?

Yeah. I mean, seriously, when you think about it, because that's the challenge for Somalian Americans as they immigrate from Somali. They came from a dirtbag, total corrupt society in which it's all about your tribe and also how do you get, you know, you know that the government is corrupt. The marketplaces are corrupt there. Everyone you're dealing with is just a matter of how do you rip off that system. We could, unless we find some way of pulling out of this, all become Somalis in our approach to life.

I don't like saying that. Could you disagree with me on that? Right. So when we're printing the T-shirts, we are all Somalis now? Is that a new T-shirt? It could be. There you go. I'll let you do it. Go ahead and make that as part of your retirement, Brad, all right? K.M.D., good morning. Hi, this is Bill. Who's this? Hey, good morning, Bill. Logan, what's up?

Hey, wanted to argue. You bring up the point often with the chem trails that they're spraying themselves, too. I would argue the point that they're willing to sacrifice that part just because the fact that these people are inherently evil. and Lucretia brought up the fact she mentioned Israel. People need to be real careful between Israel and the state of Israel. They are two completely different things. So just be aware of that. Appreciate all you do on the air, Bill. All right.

Thank you, Logan. 770, KMED. Hey, I did promise I was going to mention a AI piece that I had been reading here over the last few days. A lot of listeners been bringing my attention to it. And we're saying, hey, I've been reading this. It's a whistleblower. and it's Schumer S-H-U-M-E-R-D-E-V forward slash something big is happening.

And it's a high-tech guy named Matt Schumer. And he's within the artificial intelligence world. And it's about a 16-page post. I'm going to put it up on my blog today, at least a link to it. I so think it is well worth reading. Because he's talking about, you know, most of us are kind of laughing at AI, and I'll even talk about the AI slop that you'll see, oh, that AI fake news headline and this and then the other.

But what Matt is talking about, and he has started high-tech firms and AI firms, he invest in it right now, and he's in it hours and hours a day. And he's raising the alarm here about where he sees going. I'm just going to share just a little bit of this one. I think it's worth hearing, and then I'll post it. There's one more thing that I think is the most important development

and the least understood. when he's talking about the development of artificial intelligence. On February 5th, OpenAI released GPT 5.3 Codex. In the technical documentation, this is our first model that was instrumental in creating itself. Read that again. The earlier version of AI helped build the newer version of AI. And Matt says, this isn't a prediction about what might happen someday. this is Open AI telling you right now that the AI they just released was used to create itself.

One of the main things that makes AI better is intelligence applied to AI development, and AI is now intelligent enough to meaningfully contribute to its own improvement. Dario Amadei, the CEO of Anthropic, rather, says AI is now writing much of the computer code at his company, and that the feedback loop between current AI and the next generation AI is gathering steam month by month. The researchers are calling this an intelligence explosion, and the people who would know the ones building it believe the process has already started. And what Matt's writing about is, what does this mean for your job? He says, I'm going to be direct with you because I think you deserve honesty more than comfort.

Dario Amadei, who once again is the most safety-focused CEO in the AI industry, has publicly predicted AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years. And many people in the industry think he's being conservative. Given what the latest models can do, the capability for massive disruption could be here by the end of this year. And I'll take some time to ripple through the economy. It'll take some time. but the underlying ability is arriving right now. This is different from every previous wave of automation,

and I need you to understand why. Matt writes, AI isn't replacing one specific skill. It's a general substitute for cognitive work. It gets better at everything simultaneously. When factories automate, a displaced worker could retrain as an office worker back of the day, but when the internet disrupted retail,

workers moved into logistics or services. But AI doesn't leave a convenient gap to move into. Whatever you were trained for, it's improving at that too. Let me give you a few examples to make it tangible. This list is not exhaustive. If your job isn't mentioned here, that doesn't mean it's safe. Almost all knowledge work is being affected by this. Legal work.

AI can already read contracts, summarize case law, draft briefs, and do legal research at a level that, rivals junior associates. The managing partner I mentioned, he mentions the managing law partner in this story. The managing partner isn't using AI because it's fun. He's using it because it's outperforming his associates on many tasks. Financial analysts, or analysis rather, writing and content, software engineering. This is the field that I know best, he says. A year ago, AI could barely write a few lines of code without errors. Now it writes hundreds of thousands. of lines of code that work perfectly.

Large parts of the job are being automated, not just simple tasks, but complex multi-day projects. Remember when they used to tell the people that were fired to go learn code? Don't do that. Medical analysis, reading scans, analyzing lab results, customer service. Now, he does conclude here, I'm not writing this to make you feel helpless. this because I think the single biggest advantage that you can have right now is simply being early, early to understand it, early to use it, early to adopt and adapt. Start using AI seriously, not just as a search engine. Sign up for the paid version of Claude or ChatGPT. 20 bucks a month,

but two things matter right away. First, you need to be using the best model available, not just the default ones. These apps often default to a faster, dumber model, dig into the settings. And don't just ask a quick questions. That's the mistake most people make. They treat it like Google and then wonder what all the fuss is about. Instead, push it into your actual work, your actual career, rather. They say it could be the most important year of your career, work accordingly. And this is like an advisor to younger generations. And I thought it was quite thought-provoking and well worth the conversation. Like I said, even drafting law briefs,

and there was somebody in the story talking about that. I thought it was a big deal. Yeah, a really big deal and worthy of 15, 20 minutes of your time to read. And then share it with your relatives, too. Okay, it's not raining and it's not boring. But we still need peanut butter and jelly.

We'll try to squeeze a couple more calls in. Hey, Patrick, you wanted to talk about that AI story that I was sharing. Matt Schumer, really thought-provoking. What's up? Just AI and general, I've never

I've never really embraced it, but I'd tell you, I don't like to brag. Well, I don't like it that much, but I've been in court many times and represented myself and walked out of there the victor, but I'm just wondering how soon it'll be before the next time I'm in there, and I'm arguing with a computer because the judge is in every place. Well, the thing is, Schumer does mention that, that the Judge Dread computer could be closer than we think. And like I said, he's a promoter of the industry, but he's talking quite openly about the downside of it. And I'm starting to understand why there's been such a focus on getting rid of the illegal immigrants in the United States too here, Patrick, because I think that the thought has come out there long term, that Americans, that white-collar Americans,

who are going to be displaced in the AI revolution very well need to start doing those jobs that so-called Americans weren't willing to do over the last 50, 60 years? What do you think? Yeah, I would agree with that. And I think we absolutely, it's an incompatible culture that they bring. They bring their own culture when they come here and they expect it to work. Everyone does. Appreciate the call.

770K.M.E.D. It's 857. Hi. Good morning. is this. Hello. Morning. Hi. Hello. This is Greg. Yeah, Greg. You got about a minute. Make a good point. We'll wrap up conspiracy theory Thursday. Go ahead. Well, sorry, I didn't call sooner, but I just appreciate you so much for providing this form. So, of course, the truth is what's important. And one thing that all these liberals got in common is good intentions. Now, we all know. about good intention. So that's enough said about that. But this valley, we're privileged to live in here in the Rogue Valley, has influences from four different directions. It has more different plant varieties than anywhere north, south, east, or west of here. It's literally a garden of

Eden, and we're blessed. I would suggest to anybody who's worried about a conspiracy of any kind, steady wild edibles and wild plants that can heal you. Very good. Great call.
