Speaker 3: Oh Yeah, chilling, Chilling on a Sunday evening. I am

63
00:03:52,520 –> 00:03:54,800
your humble host, Alan Ray. This is Sunday Night with

64
00:03:54,840 –> 00:03:59,000
Alan Ray. Some chill music. I wrote that myself. It’s

65
00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:03,680
called Fools Interlude. It was part of part of a

66
00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:08,159
song that I wrote called twenty twenty. Pack wrote it

67
00:04:08,159 –> 00:04:10,360
a long time ago, right after twenty twenty, and kind

68
00:04:10,360 –> 00:04:12,080
of put it out there and we got about as

69
00:04:12,240 –> 00:04:17,600
much traction as trying to skate with I don’t know

70
00:04:18,560 –> 00:04:24,480
bald tires. Oh well, can’t all be winners, or sometimes

71
00:04:24,519 –> 00:04:28,600
they can’t be winners at all. Welcome. This is the

72
00:04:28,639 –> 00:04:33,360
show where we look around this giant blue ghetto rock.

73
00:04:33,439 –> 00:04:36,800
We’re hurtling through space at unprecedented speed, and we asked

74
00:04:36,839 –> 00:04:41,720
the eternal question, what the wide wide world of sportunes

75
00:04:41,759 –> 00:04:45,920
are going on here? This show? It’s gonna be a

76
00:04:45,920 –> 00:04:49,639
little bit different because it started out I was gonna

77
00:04:49,680 –> 00:04:55,360
do something totally different, and yesterday morning I was nerding

78
00:04:55,360 –> 00:04:58,000
out a little bit. And first of all, guys, welcome

79
00:04:58,040 –> 00:04:59,439
to the chat. We got already in the chat, We

80
00:04:59,519 –> 00:05:03,160
got Steven in the chat, we got wrapped her. Guys,

81
00:05:03,160 –> 00:05:06,720
thanks for jumping in. You just heard Jeff and man,

82
00:05:06,800 –> 00:05:11,480
what a what a freaking great show. That was my gosh,

83
00:05:12,519 –> 00:05:17,000
it really was. He is really really just come out

84
00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:22,279
as a as a professional podcaster. Really great. Before that,

85
00:05:22,560 –> 00:05:26,879
you had Corn with Corn’s book corner. Did I actually

86
00:05:26,879 –> 00:05:28,439
say that right? I don’t want to get that wrong.

87
00:05:28,920 –> 00:05:30,759
I wrote it down. Look at me. This is how

88
00:05:30,839 –> 00:05:35,800
together I am Corn Corn’s reading room. That’s what it is. Sorry,

89
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:38,360
I’m focusing on like five things all the same time.

90
00:05:38,360 –> 00:05:42,800
Am I put together? Heck no, So it’s gonna be fun. Anyways,

91
00:05:44,040 –> 00:05:46,800
yesterday morning, of course, you know, I have a routine

92
00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:50,480
on Saturday mornings. I get up, get breakfast, I have

93
00:05:50,519 –> 00:05:53,680
a forty meter net for the East Coast Reflector Team

94
00:05:54,360 –> 00:05:56,120
on Ham Radio. And then after that, I was I

95
00:05:56,120 –> 00:05:58,959
was gonna get start getting ready, you know, get things moving.

96
00:05:59,639 –> 00:06:03,800
And I noticed I got a little notification on my

97
00:06:03,879 –> 00:06:09,720
phone from doctor Tamotha SCoV. Doctor TAMOTHA SCoV is the

98
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:16,439
patron Saint s Saint of solar Weather. She is a

99
00:06:16,480 –> 00:06:21,240
solar weather expert, very trusted, very popular in the Ham

100
00:06:21,319 –> 00:06:26,680
radio community. And she was doing a live class, not

101
00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:30,839
just a live you know show, not just a podcast,

102
00:06:30,959 –> 00:06:33,879
not just doing space weather like she does about once

103
00:06:33,959 –> 00:06:36,600
a week, which you know, I watched because it’s really

104
00:06:36,680 –> 00:06:39,639
kind of cool. Well, Jeff’s in the chat hell Jeff.

105
00:06:40,399 –> 00:06:42,800
But doctor SCoV was doing a class. It was a

106
00:06:42,920 –> 00:06:45,000
four hour class. I got about an hour and a

107
00:06:45,040 –> 00:06:46,639
half into it. I had to go, but I’m going

108
00:06:46,680 –> 00:06:50,000
to watch the rest of it. Just just sit there

109
00:06:50,040 –> 00:06:53,279
and pick over because she had some really good information.

110
00:06:53,560 –> 00:06:55,920
The time that I was watching it, I learned a ton.

111
00:06:57,279 –> 00:07:02,560
But something snapped in my brain about forty five minutes.

112
00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:07,600
In fifty minutes, in fifty minutes in she was talking

113
00:07:07,639 –> 00:07:10,439
about one of her colleagues who she has grown to

114
00:07:10,600 –> 00:07:13,879
love as a friend, and how some of the things

115
00:07:13,920 –> 00:07:17,360
that happened in their community, in the space science community,

116
00:07:17,839 –> 00:07:22,959
gets left in the background, gets unnoticed. And you know,

117
00:07:23,560 –> 00:07:27,439
you and I don’t walk around thinking about well you

118
00:07:27,560 –> 00:07:31,600
probably don’t walk around thinking about what the Sun’s doing

119
00:07:31,639 –> 00:07:35,959
on any given day. If you are a ham radio

120
00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:40,319
operator who works HF, you do because a lot of

121
00:07:40,319 –> 00:07:44,839
things depend on solar weather. But she made a comment

122
00:07:44,959 –> 00:07:47,240
about this guy and how she met him in Italy

123
00:07:47,319 –> 00:07:50,000
and he’s now a dear friend to hers, and it

124
00:07:50,160 –> 00:07:56,920
led to her talking about his studies in some of

125
00:07:56,959 –> 00:08:02,360
the atmospheric conditions and all that, and she aid the comment. Now,

126
00:08:02,360 –> 00:08:04,480
I’m gonna paraphrase this just a little bit, but some

127
00:08:04,560 –> 00:08:07,759
of this is her exact comment. She was talking about

128
00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:15,680
how really basically renewable energy makes for a big problem

129
00:08:15,720 –> 00:08:21,199
in the electric grid. And then she kind of looks

130
00:08:21,240 –> 00:08:23,199
sheepish for a moment, like she goes, man, I’m gonna

131
00:08:23,240 –> 00:08:24,759
you know, you get telling her in her mind, she

132
00:08:24,839 –> 00:08:26,639
was saying, I’m gonna get into something here. It’s probably

133
00:08:26,639 –> 00:08:29,079
gonna trigger a lot of people, she said, and I’m

134
00:08:29,079 –> 00:08:31,680
gonna paraphrase us renewables. This is actually what she said.

135
00:08:31,680 –> 00:08:34,519
Renewables make for a big problem in the grid. As

136
00:08:34,519 –> 00:08:37,000
she said, by the way, she mentioned, you know, you

137
00:08:37,080 –> 00:08:39,840
just saw something in Portugal, you saw something in Spain.

138
00:08:41,080 –> 00:08:44,480
She says, by the way, that was not space weather related,

139
00:08:45,480 –> 00:08:50,919
not atmospheric related either, And she kind of stumbled a

140
00:08:50,960 –> 00:08:55,120
little bit, and then she said, renewables don’t have inertia.

141
00:08:56,120 –> 00:08:59,799
They decouple from the grid when they need to be there.

142
00:09:00,240 –> 00:09:03,720
So you take a lot of generators offline, and because

143
00:09:03,759 –> 00:09:07,960
you have renewables, well you don’t have any physical generators

144
00:09:08,320 –> 00:09:12,519
that cause inertia. And my ears picked up. I went,

145
00:09:12,639 –> 00:09:16,360
what and after everything was said and done later on,

146
00:09:16,519 –> 00:09:17,919
you just ate away at me. Later on, I went

147
00:09:17,919 –> 00:09:20,240
through there and I went back to that point right

148
00:09:20,240 –> 00:09:21,960
around the fifty minute mark, and she was talking about

149
00:09:21,960 –> 00:09:24,120
all that. I was like, did I hear her say

150
00:09:24,159 –> 00:09:27,399
that right? Yes, she did, and she got into it.

151
00:09:27,440 –> 00:09:30,639
She got a little little salty about some of the

152
00:09:30,639 –> 00:09:32,559
things that you hear, some of the things that are

153
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:36,840
not correct, some of these doomsayers that are talking about

154
00:09:36,879 –> 00:09:42,240
different things that aren’t based in science, they’re based in narrative.

155
00:09:43,000 –> 00:09:44,399
And let me read this for you again. I’m gonna

156
00:09:44,399 –> 00:09:46,960
read it real quick for you so you hear exactly.

157
00:09:47,000 –> 00:09:49,000
I mean, this is like I said. Some of it’s paraphrase,

158
00:09:49,039 –> 00:09:49,679
most of it’s right.

159
00:09:49,720 –> 00:09:49,879
Speaker 8: You know.

160
00:09:49,919 –> 00:09:51,639
Speaker 3: I skipped some of what she said because she kind

161
00:09:51,639 –> 00:09:54,279
of hummed and hawed like humans do. That’s how we talk.

162
00:09:54,799 –> 00:09:57,200
We don’t talk like a play. We have a lot

163
00:09:57,240 –> 00:10:00,679
of ums and duhs and this, and we a little bit.

164
00:10:01,159 –> 00:10:03,960
But she said, renewables make for big problems in the grid.

165
00:10:04,120 –> 00:10:07,759
By the way, that was not space weather related. She’s

166
00:10:07,759 –> 00:10:12,000
talking about Portugal and Spain. That was not atmospheric related either.

167
00:10:12,679 –> 00:10:16,799
Renewables don’t have enough inertia. They decouple from the grid

168
00:10:16,840 –> 00:10:19,120
when they need to be there. So you take a

169
00:10:19,120 –> 00:10:23,600
lot of generators offline, which is what Spain and Portugal did.

170
00:10:23,639 –> 00:10:28,440
They are running eighty percent plus renewables. Renewables I mean

171
00:10:28,519 –> 00:10:31,279
wind and solar power. You take a lot of these

172
00:10:31,320 –> 00:10:34,720
generators offline, like nuke plants and coal plants and stuff

173
00:10:34,759 –> 00:10:37,720
like that, and because you have renewables, well, you don’t

174
00:10:37,720 –> 00:10:41,000
have any physical generators that cause inertia. Now, what she

175
00:10:41,480 –> 00:10:45,440
went on to say made more sense than anything I’ve

176
00:10:45,440 –> 00:10:48,759
ever heard in my life. She said, like nuke plants

177
00:10:49,519 –> 00:10:55,360
or coal plants or something like that, these have inertia.

178
00:10:55,480 –> 00:10:59,000
By inertia, I mean they have physical things that are

179
00:10:59,039 –> 00:11:03,559
moving physically, that are heating something, upturning things and spinning

180
00:11:03,799 –> 00:11:09,679
or something and pushing power into the grid. Solar power

181
00:11:09,720 –> 00:11:13,559
does not have that. So I went down the rabbit hole,

182
00:11:13,720 –> 00:11:16,240
and this is what I came up with. Now, the

183
00:11:16,279 –> 00:11:20,200
official story, official story, and you can get this on

184
00:11:20,559 –> 00:11:24,360
any AI or any news story. Whatever. Is the exact

185
00:11:24,399 –> 00:11:27,399
cause of the massive blackout that struck Spain and Portugal

186
00:11:27,440 –> 00:11:31,919
on April twenty eight, twenty twenty five remains unclear. Sounds

187
00:11:31,960 –> 00:11:34,759
to me like they want it to remain unclear. You

188
00:11:34,759 –> 00:11:37,240
don’t hear anybody else talking about the real problem. But

189
00:11:37,399 –> 00:11:41,960
you can dig this out if you try, and investigations

190
00:11:41,960 –> 00:11:46,159
are ongoing. However, available information points to a complex sequence

191
00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:48,440
of events rather than a single definitive trigger, So you

192
00:11:48,480 –> 00:11:50,039
know they’re going to bring as much as they can

193
00:11:50,360 –> 00:11:53,759
to dilute what the real problem was. The blackout began

194
00:11:53,840 –> 00:11:58,519
at twelve thirty three ceest affecting nearly the entire Iberian Peninsula,

195
00:11:58,600 –> 00:12:02,919
with minor impacts in and southwestern France. It disrupted power

196
00:12:02,960 –> 00:12:05,960
for about fifty five million people, lasting up to eighteen

197
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:10,960
hours in some areas, and caused significant disruptions to transportation, telecommunications,

198
00:12:10,960 –> 00:12:14,919
and essential services. At least eight deaths were linked to

199
00:12:15,039 –> 00:12:18,399
outage related incidents, such as carbon monoxide poisoning from generators,

200
00:12:18,399 –> 00:12:22,440
from people being dumb, and candle fires. Now here’s some

201
00:12:22,519 –> 00:12:25,039
key details about the incident. Now, as you know, this

202
00:12:25,159 –> 00:12:28,600
is where I love some of the AI programs Rock

203
00:12:29,080 –> 00:12:33,000
and Chat, Gubut and other things. It just pooped all

204
00:12:33,039 –> 00:12:34,720
this out and gave you links, and he’s like, oh, yeah,

205
00:12:34,759 –> 00:12:39,000
there they are. Details about the incident include sudden power loss.

206
00:12:39,039 –> 00:12:43,120
The blackgout was triggered by rapid loss approximately fifteen gigawatts

207
00:12:43,120 –> 00:12:47,240
of electric city electricity generation in Spain within five seconds,

208
00:12:47,440 –> 00:12:50,679
so all of a sudden, the grid dropped fifteen gigawatts.

209
00:12:50,679 –> 00:12:55,720
It’s huge, okay, equivalent to sixty percent of the country’s

210
00:12:55,720 –> 00:12:59,799
demand at the time. An additional five gigawatts was lost

211
00:12:59,840 –> 00:13:03,519
in Portugal. This caused the grid frequency to drop from

212
00:13:03,559 –> 00:13:06,360
fifty hertz to forty nine point eighty five hertz, leading

213
00:13:06,399 –> 00:13:10,039
to automatic emergency protocols and a collapse of the Iberian

214
00:13:10,159 –> 00:13:17,679
electricity network. Another detail grid instability data from Spain’s grid

215
00:13:17,679 –> 00:13:24,360
operator red Electricia d’aspanna Oree indicates that the grid was

216
00:13:24,399 –> 00:13:27,000
stable before the outage, supplying thirty two gigawatts to me

217
00:13:27,080 –> 00:13:30,440
to twenty five gigawatt demand, with excess power exported to Portugal,

218
00:13:30,480 –> 00:13:34,240
France and Morocco at twelve thirty over half of the supply.

219
00:13:35,120 –> 00:13:39,480
Over half the supply that’s key, came from solar and

220
00:13:39,559 –> 00:13:44,399
electricity prices were slightly negative. Lower frequency oscillations were observed

221
00:13:44,399 –> 00:13:47,519
in the thirty minutes prior, followed by two critical events.

222
00:13:47,679 –> 00:13:53,200
Three generators and the France interconnection decoupled and solar photobeltaic

223
00:13:53,360 –> 00:13:59,320
output dropped sharply. Okay, put that in your head. Remember this,

224
00:13:59,320 –> 00:14:04,320
this is important. Three generators and the France interconnection decoupled.

225
00:14:04,639 –> 00:14:07,559
We just said she was talking about how that decouples

226
00:14:07,559 –> 00:14:12,639
when they needed the most, and solar photovoltaic output dropped

227
00:14:12,720 –> 00:14:18,000
sharply from eighteen thousand megawatts to eight thousand megawats. These

228
00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:27,960
fluctuations likely overwhelm the grid’s ability to maintain balance, possible

229
00:14:27,960 –> 00:14:32,799
technical failure. OREE is another key detail. Ore EE identified

230
00:14:32,840 –> 00:14:35,639
two incidents of the power generation loss, likely from solar

231
00:14:35,679 –> 00:14:39,639
plants in Spain southwest, which caused instability and severed the

232
00:14:39,679 –> 00:14:44,320
interconnection with France. Some experts, some experts, I put little

233
00:14:44,360 –> 00:14:48,399
finger quotes there suggest poor grid management or inadequate integration

234
00:14:48,480 –> 00:14:52,600
of solar facilities. Right, that’s what they’re gonna go with.

235
00:14:52,720 –> 00:14:54,919
I guarantee you they’re they’re gonna go with the operator air.

236
00:14:55,480 –> 00:14:59,480
Particularly the lack of mechanical inertia. Okay, there’s that word again.

237
00:14:59,639 –> 00:15:04,440
There’s that work. This is important, particularly the lack of

238
00:15:04,639 –> 00:15:12,519
mechanical inertia in renewable systems. That is key there, the

239
00:15:12,639 –> 00:15:18,840
lack of mechanical inertia in renewable energy systems, solar wind, whatever,

240
00:15:19,600 –> 00:15:25,200
which rely on electronic inverters rather than synchronous generators may

241
00:15:25,240 –> 00:15:30,080
have exasperated the issue. Now see I think it caused

242
00:15:30,519 –> 00:15:35,440
the issue. Weak interconnections with the broader European grid, particularly

243
00:15:35,480 –> 00:15:38,000
in France, may have also limited the ability to stabilize

244
00:15:38,039 –> 00:15:46,960
the system. So they are running eighty percent renewables, and

245
00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:52,240
when they needed that energy the most, that energy decoupled itself.

246
00:15:52,440 –> 00:15:56,759
Just like doctor Scott said, she made a very bold

247
00:15:57,000 –> 00:16:01,159
and very you could tell she studied this very scientific

248
00:16:01,840 –> 00:16:06,799
statement that goes against the narrative. I’m wondering if she’s

249
00:16:06,840 –> 00:16:11,559
going to face punishment for what she said because she

250
00:16:11,639 –> 00:16:15,320
was very adamant. So this wasn’t they I know, they

251
00:16:15,360 –> 00:16:19,039
tried to say that, oh, it’s an atmospheric thing. Okay,

252
00:16:19,039 –> 00:16:21,200
another point, key point of the whole thing. And I’ve

253
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:23,440
told you this span of Portugal source about eighty percent

254
00:16:23,440 –> 00:16:25,919
of their electricity from wind and solar, leading to the

255
00:16:25,919 –> 00:16:29,360
speculation that the high penetration of renewables contributed to the blackouts.

256
00:16:30,279 –> 00:16:32,240
Now they’re going to have to argue. Critics argued that

257
00:16:32,279 –> 00:16:35,360
the intermittency of the renewables and insufficient battery storage of

258
00:16:35,360 –> 00:16:39,919
good updates or upgrades made the system vulnerable to sudden fluctuations. However,

259
00:16:39,960 –> 00:16:45,679
Spanish officials, including Prime Minister Pedro sanchest Andree President Beatriz Corridor,

260
00:16:46,120 –> 00:16:48,759
have denied that renewables were the primary cost. But of

261
00:16:48,840 –> 00:16:53,600
course they are going to, they’re going to, noting that

262
00:16:53,639 –> 00:16:56,759
the nuclear power stations also failed to restart promptly, indicating

263
00:16:56,799 –> 00:17:00,519
no inherent resilience advantage advantage over renewables. Okay, that’s what

264
00:17:00,559 –> 00:17:04,599
you call that’s what you call a story, a narrative.

265
00:17:04,640 –> 00:17:05,960
This is what they’re going to go with the narrative.

266
00:17:08,160 –> 00:17:14,400
So initial reports retracted, later retracted, the suggestion that rare

267
00:17:14,440 –> 00:17:18,599
atmospheric phenomenon might have caused oscillations and overhead cables due

268
00:17:18,599 –> 00:17:23,279
to extreme temperature variations. No unusual weather was reported, and

269
00:17:23,319 –> 00:17:26,119
as doctor Scott went on to point out in her

270
00:17:26,359 –> 00:17:28,880
that little ranch she was going on, those of you

271
00:17:28,920 –> 00:17:33,119
who are Ham radio operators, there was two big QSO

272
00:17:33,160 –> 00:17:37,759
parties going on at the time. Did you experience any problems? No,

273
00:17:40,200 –> 00:17:43,319
on Saturdays started out kind of rough, that sad. I

274
00:17:43,359 –> 00:17:45,480
remember that Saturday, the twenty It started out kind of rough,

275
00:17:46,119 –> 00:17:49,039
but went on to be a really good day, really

276
00:17:49,039 –> 00:17:55,200
good weekend for contexts. So no, there was nothing in

277
00:17:55,240 –> 00:18:01,000
the atmosphere and the final point was management issues. Some

278
00:18:01,079 –> 00:18:04,640
analysis highlights systemic challenges such as the grid reliance on

279
00:18:04,680 –> 00:18:07,480
computer systems that may not be equipped to handle extreme scenarios,

280
00:18:08,039 –> 00:18:12,200
especially with high renewable penetration than negative electricity prices. The

281
00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:15,119
practice of using an excess power for a hydro pumping

282
00:18:15,119 –> 00:18:19,440
story energy and reservoirs was nearing capacity potentially limited flexibility.

283
00:18:21,160 –> 00:18:29,279
So I took that and I said, Okay, let’s do

284
00:18:29,359 –> 00:18:32,039
some research. Let’s let’s let’s let AI do its work.

285
00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:35,480
Let’s ask, you know, find some links, do what we can,

286
00:18:37,559 –> 00:18:45,200
and see what it says about renewable energy into the

287
00:18:45,240 –> 00:18:51,799
grid our grid. Folks, you have to believe me. There

288
00:18:51,839 –> 00:18:56,960
have been advocates going on for years, years trying to

289
00:18:57,039 –> 00:19:01,759
get Congress’s head out of its collective backside, fight off

290
00:19:02,480 –> 00:19:13,279
very very financially backed forces, and tell Congress that our

291
00:19:13,799 –> 00:19:19,279
electric grid is in imminent danger from chronal mass ejections,

292
00:19:19,559 –> 00:19:23,759
electromagnetic pulses, all kinds oft. We are sitting on an archaic,

293
00:19:25,119 –> 00:19:28,839
horrible power grid. And if you’re in the state of Michigan,

294
00:19:29,559 –> 00:19:33,200
you know this. We have some of the worst power

295
00:19:33,240 –> 00:19:39,599
grid failures in the country, to the point where even

296
00:19:39,880 –> 00:19:43,839
our Democrat governor. Miss hey, let’s shut down all of

297
00:19:43,880 –> 00:19:47,640
the natural gas and nuke plants and everything else and

298
00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:51,279
go one solar and wind. Even she went to the

299
00:19:51,279 –> 00:19:53,680
power companies and said, you gotta do something about all

300
00:19:53,720 –> 00:19:57,759
these blackouts. I will give her that credit. She hammered,

301
00:19:57,920 –> 00:20:00,759
hammered on the two biggies here can Zumer’s Energy and

302
00:20:00,759 –> 00:20:05,039
Detroit Energy DTE hammered on them. So you are this

303
00:20:05,119 –> 00:20:09,200
is way way too many blackouts and it’s taking way

304
00:20:09,200 –> 00:20:11,599
too long to get people back in business. I’m gonna

305
00:20:11,599 –> 00:20:18,519
give her that credit. So I went in and I said,

306
00:20:19,440 –> 00:20:23,200
our solar and wind power incompatible with the Kern electric grid,

307
00:20:24,880 –> 00:20:29,680
and this is what an AI program, and then gave

308
00:20:29,680 –> 00:20:34,119
me some backup things to check too. We went back

309
00:20:34,119 –> 00:20:35,880
and forth for a bit, and it said solar and

310
00:20:35,920 –> 00:20:40,240
wind power are not inherently incompatible with the Kernel electric grid,

311
00:20:40,960 –> 00:20:48,640
but their integration poses significant challenges due to their intermittent nature,

312
00:20:49,599 –> 00:20:53,440
lack of mechanical inertia there’s that word again, and the

313
00:20:53,519 –> 00:20:58,680
limitations of existed existing grid infrastructure. And it goes right

314
00:20:58,680 –> 00:21:02,519
on this Spain portrait. Blackout is it’s a it’s a

315
00:21:02,559 –> 00:21:05,319
smack in the face, a wake up call. It goes

316
00:21:05,359 –> 00:21:08,039
on to say the Spain Portugal blackout on April twenty eight,

317
00:21:08,119 –> 00:21:12,000
twenty twenty five, where rapid loss of fifteen gigawatts mostly solar.

318
00:21:12,279 –> 00:21:15,759
It put that right in there, fifteen gigawatts mostly solar

319
00:21:16,599 –> 00:21:20,839
triggered a grid collapse highlights these issues. However, with targeted

320
00:21:20,920 –> 00:21:26,319
upgrades and management strategies, grids can support high levels renewable. Okay. However,

321
00:21:26,599 –> 00:21:31,000
with targeted upgrades and management strategies, okay, what have these

322
00:21:31,039 –> 00:21:34,359
advocates been trying to get Congress to do for the

323
00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:43,480
past forty years? Upgrade the grid? They literally went, they

324
00:21:43,519 –> 00:21:46,240
practically went to them with a book called One Second

325
00:21:46,279 –> 00:21:50,000
After about an electromagnetic pulse strike, handed that book out

326
00:21:50,039 –> 00:21:52,680
to everybody in Congress and said, here’s your future if

327
00:21:52,680 –> 00:21:54,160
you don’t do something about this grid, if you don’t

328
00:21:54,200 –> 00:22:01,960
harden the grid, if you don’t make it modernized. The

329
00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:05,119
problem is you have very very very powerful lobbyists in

330
00:22:05,160 –> 00:22:09,160
the electric industry who don’t want to spend that kind

331
00:22:09,160 –> 00:22:13,319
of money. They like their profits a lot, and they

332
00:22:13,359 –> 00:22:15,559
make really good profits, and they’ve just run I don’t

333
00:22:15,559 –> 00:22:17,519
know about your state, but they’ven’t just run to our governor.

334
00:22:17,519 –> 00:22:21,480
Twice in the past year. The first raise in your

335
00:22:21,519 –> 00:22:24,240
bill went through, and they immediately went back and said,

336
00:22:24,240 –> 00:22:28,279
we need more money. The first money hadn’t even come

337
00:22:28,319 –> 00:22:37,960
in yet. Now it goes through. It gave me a

338
00:22:38,039 –> 00:22:43,079
concise analysis of compatibility issues, drawing on the blackout and

339
00:22:43,119 –> 00:22:47,079
broader European grid context, followed by solutions to ensure compatibility.

340
00:22:47,119 –> 00:22:49,880
Now I want to I want to throw a caveat

341
00:22:49,880 –> 00:22:51,440
in there. I want to throw something in here that

342
00:22:52,079 –> 00:22:56,119
I’m gonna come right out with. I’m not anti solar,

343
00:22:56,240 –> 00:23:00,559
I’m not anti when if we can do it right.

344
00:23:01,680 –> 00:23:05,799
What I am thoroughly against, one hundred percent against is

345
00:23:05,880 –> 00:23:11,640
tearing down thousands of acres of ecosystem, ripping up thousands

346
00:23:11,680 –> 00:23:17,920
of acres of woodlands, tearing up nature, farmland, places where

347
00:23:17,960 –> 00:23:22,119
people live in the country and farm and try to

348
00:23:22,599 –> 00:23:29,559
have an existence outside of superheated pavement hellscapes of these

349
00:23:29,599 –> 00:23:36,720
giant cities. I’m against that. I am against our government,

350
00:23:37,640 –> 00:23:41,720
state governments, i should say, trying to force us onto

351
00:23:42,400 –> 00:23:48,720
solar and win systems that are at their very very peak,

352
00:23:50,079 –> 00:23:56,200
barely efficient enough to be an enhancement to the grid already.

353
00:23:56,279 –> 00:24:03,680
And we just saw this personally, every parking structure. Every

354
00:24:03,720 –> 00:24:08,000
building in a city with a flat roof along the freeways,

355
00:24:08,440 –> 00:24:13,759
put your solar panels up. Enhance the grid. Why not

356
00:24:13,759 –> 00:24:16,000
not hurt anything. It’s already got pavement, and it’s already

357
00:24:16,000 –> 00:24:19,799
got it’s already a highway. Wouldn’t you like to park

358
00:24:19,799 –> 00:24:22,000
in a big mall parking lot that’s completely covered with

359
00:24:22,000 –> 00:24:23,960
solar panels so you don’t get wet when it’s raining.

360
00:24:25,039 –> 00:24:27,640
But to try to rely on this energy as a

361
00:24:27,680 –> 00:24:31,039
primary source of energy is stupid. It’s a fool’s game.

362
00:24:33,119 –> 00:24:36,400
Challenges of solar and win integration. Here’s your lesson for

363
00:24:36,440 –> 00:24:38,039
the day. You’re gonna be a little smarter when you’re

364
00:24:38,039 –> 00:24:42,680
done here. Intermittency and variability solar and wind depend on whether,

365
00:24:42,839 –> 00:24:50,079
of course, causing unpredictable output fluctuations. During the Spain Portugal whackout,

366
00:24:50,119 –> 00:24:52,759
solar output drop from eighteen thousand millas to eight thousand

367
00:24:52,799 –> 00:24:55,839
millar lots in seconds, destabilizing the grid. We know that

368
00:24:56,880 –> 00:25:00,480
it says, unlike fossil fuel or nuclear plants, renewables cannot

369
00:25:00,480 –> 00:25:04,000
provide consistent base loads of power without storage or backup.

370
00:25:04,880 –> 00:25:09,440
So what you would need exactly raptor it can only

371
00:25:09,480 –> 00:25:13,039
serve as a supplement what you would need, and of

372
00:25:13,119 –> 00:25:16,279
all people, Elon Musk has it right. You need giant, huge,

373
00:25:16,599 –> 00:25:23,160
giant battery facilities storing this power. The footprint between thousands

374
00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:28,960
of acres of solar panels and a giant battery farm

375
00:25:29,160 –> 00:25:32,359
is unbelievably huge if you’re trying to power a city,

376
00:25:33,319 –> 00:25:38,039
unbelievably huge. And yes, Raptor, my university that I work

377
00:25:38,119 –> 00:25:40,480
for is going to have the same thing. They’re going

378
00:25:40,519 –> 00:25:43,359
to have canvas, you know, gonna have just like covers

379
00:25:43,359 –> 00:25:45,079
over the top of all the parking lots and on

380
00:25:45,119 –> 00:25:48,079
the parking structures and everything with solar pot Go ahead,

381
00:25:48,559 –> 00:25:52,480
do it, you might as well. It’s not gonna hurt anything.

382
00:25:52,519 –> 00:25:54,319
The problem is is what are you gonna do with

383
00:25:54,359 –> 00:25:56,279
them solar panels in twenty thirty years when they go

384
00:25:56,599 –> 00:26:00,240
bad and you can’t do anything with them except bury

385
00:26:00,279 –> 00:26:02,759
him in the ground somewhere and let the toxic crap

386
00:26:02,880 –> 00:26:08,119
leak all over the place. Anyways, lack of mechanical inertia again,

387
00:26:08,200 –> 00:26:13,279
to summarize, traditional generators, coal gas, nuclear, whatever provide inertia

388
00:26:13,359 –> 00:26:18,279
via spinning turbines stabilizing the grid frequencies fifty hertz in

389
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:22,799
Europe is their stabilization point. Solar and wind use electronic

390
00:26:22,799 –> 00:26:26,400
converters which lack this inertia, making grids more vulnerable to

391
00:26:26,480 –> 00:26:31,319
frequency drops, which is why the blackout. High renewable penetration

392
00:26:31,680 –> 00:26:36,559
sixty six percent in Spain during the blackout reduces system inertia,

393
00:26:36,599 –> 00:26:43,200
increasing blackout risks. So it was directly solar and wind

394
00:26:43,200 –> 00:26:45,759
that caused that blackout. They’re not going to be able

395
00:26:45,799 –> 00:26:47,279
to get away with this. They’re not going to be

396
00:26:47,319 –> 00:26:50,400
able to say it something else. They know the truth,

397
00:26:50,839 –> 00:26:54,960
and the truth needs it to get out and again.

398
00:26:55,680 –> 00:27:00,440
Aging grid infrastructure. Over forty percent of Europe’s grid, including Spain’s,

399
00:27:00,480 –> 00:27:03,119
is over forty years old. Think about this in America, guys,

400
00:27:03,160 –> 00:27:06,839
think about this in the United States. Designed for centralized

401
00:27:06,960 –> 00:27:13,000
synchronous generation, not distributed renewables. This limits flexibility to handle

402
00:27:13,200 –> 00:27:16,559
rapid output changes. Okay, it’s forty percent in Europe. What

403
00:27:16,640 –> 00:27:23,640
is it in America? We have an ancient grid structure

404
00:27:23,640 –> 00:27:25,160
and they don’t want to do anything with It’s just yeah,

405
00:27:25,200 –> 00:27:27,680
once in a while they’ll call through and maybe change

406
00:27:27,680 –> 00:27:31,400
a few lines and put up a couple of telephone poles,

407
00:27:31,440 –> 00:27:33,319
just enough to get you to shut up for a while.

408
00:27:36,039 –> 00:27:39,200
Insufficient storage. Batteries and other storage systems are critical to

409
00:27:39,279 –> 00:27:44,200
balance renewable intermittency, but capacity is limited. Spain has five

410
00:27:44,240 –> 00:27:47,960
gigawatts of battery storage, far below the two hundred gigawatts

411
00:27:48,039 –> 00:27:50,880
needed EU wide by twenty thirty. That’s what they were wanting,

412
00:27:50,880 –> 00:27:55,200
two hundred gigawats by e twenty thirty. They got a

413
00:27:55,240 –> 00:27:57,599
long way to go and a short time to get there.

414
00:27:57,960 –> 00:28:02,079
I doubt it’s gonna happen With out storage access, renewable

415
00:28:02,119 –> 00:28:07,799
output is curtailed, and deficit requires fossil fuel backups. They

416
00:28:07,839 –> 00:28:11,400
cannot get away from fossil fuels, but they’re going to

417
00:28:11,440 –> 00:28:19,240
try because they’re idiots. Grid management challenges high renewables share

418
00:28:19,359 –> 00:28:24,400
or high renewable shares require advanced forecasting in real time control.

419
00:28:24,759 –> 00:28:28,839
The blackout suggests possible mismanagement, as low frequency oscillation preceded

420
00:28:28,880 –> 00:28:32,920
the collapse. Negative electricity prices common with high solar wind

421
00:28:32,920 –> 00:28:43,039
output constrained grid economics and operations. So we have to

422
00:28:43,279 –> 00:28:46,119
look at what happened in Spain and Portugal. Spain’s grid

423
00:28:46,160 –> 00:28:48,960
out of sixty six percent renewables fifty five percent solar

424
00:28:49,200 –> 00:28:51,799
when it lost fifteen gigawatts, likely from a solar plant

425
00:28:51,839 –> 00:28:58,920
disconnections in the Southwest. Now, I know the Spanish officials,

426
00:28:59,559 –> 00:29:04,599
which probably urged on by their WEF overlords United Nation overlords,

427
00:29:04,640 –> 00:29:07,200
are going to argue that renewables weren’t the sole cause. Oh,

428
00:29:07,240 –> 00:29:10,880
he was a combination of things. However, the high renewables

429
00:29:10,880 –> 00:29:14,960
share amplified vulnerabilities due to low inertia and weak interconnections.

430
00:29:15,359 –> 00:29:18,599
You wouldn’t have had this if you are running nuke. Sorry,

431
00:29:18,839 –> 00:29:26,160
that’s just the facts. Blackout rebuild, broader issues, insufficient storage,

432
00:29:26,160 –> 00:29:33,079
outdated infrastructure, and reliance on inverters which struggled to maintain stabilities. Now,

433
00:29:33,319 –> 00:29:34,799
I’m not going to go through the rest of so

434
00:29:34,799 –> 00:29:36,720
I got a whole bunch of stuff in here, man,

435
00:29:36,759 –> 00:29:39,799
I went down a rabbit hole. Who trab a hole?

436
00:29:41,319 –> 00:29:44,200
The suffice it to say, if if we want to

437
00:29:44,279 –> 00:29:49,640
even have a chance at tearing down all the trees

438
00:29:49,759 –> 00:29:51,400
and the farm land of the grass and putting up

439
00:29:51,400 –> 00:29:54,119
all these toxic soilar panels and make them work, we

440
00:29:54,279 –> 00:29:56,920
have to have a complete new grid. Do you think

441
00:29:57,039 –> 00:30:03,359
the power companies who have highly paid lobbyists in DC

442
00:30:03,640 –> 00:30:06,319
and in your state, in your county, do you think

443
00:30:06,319 –> 00:30:09,559
they are going to allow the government to look at

444
00:30:09,559 –> 00:30:12,519
them and say, you know what, you have to update everything.

445
00:30:12,519 –> 00:30:17,000
You have to upgrade everything, or don’t come back here. No,

446
00:30:17,160 –> 00:30:20,680
we’ve been trying to get them to do this for years, decades,

447
00:30:27,279 –> 00:30:31,039
based on everything I just told you. Here’s the therefore,

448
00:30:31,119 –> 00:30:35,079
here’s the therefore part. Therefore you need backup. My friends,

449
00:30:35,799 –> 00:30:39,640
if you’re living in a state that is at this

450
00:30:39,759 –> 00:30:46,880
point overrun with neo socialists, they’re not tree huggers anymore.

451
00:30:46,920 –> 00:30:51,799
They’re basically paved the planets with solar panels. Now, neo socialists,

452
00:30:52,920 –> 00:30:57,920
green energy morons, the cult, the cult of green energy.

453
00:30:58,960 –> 00:31:02,240
If and if they’re seeping into your government, seeping into

454
00:31:02,279 –> 00:31:09,200
your state, local county government, whatever, you need backup, you

455
00:31:09,319 –> 00:31:11,680
need at least twenty four to forty eight hours of backup.

456
00:31:13,039 –> 00:31:16,559
I suggest a combination of things. Now, I know in

457
00:31:16,599 –> 00:31:20,759
California you can’t buy a gas generator anymore stupid, But

458
00:31:20,920 –> 00:31:26,480
you can’t. I predict it’s coming here to you know,

459
00:31:26,599 –> 00:31:31,640
Missipfeornia pretty soon. If we can’t get these moronic left

460
00:31:31,680 –> 00:31:35,000
wing nutballs out of our state government, it’ll be here

461
00:31:35,039 –> 00:31:39,720
before long. I’m hanging on to my gas generator. Screw them.

462
00:31:39,880 –> 00:31:43,920
I’ll just make sure it’s well maintained, keep it underground.

463
00:31:43,960 –> 00:31:46,680
I’ll have it. They’re not gonna take it away. I’ll

464
00:31:46,759 –> 00:31:50,720
use it too. But if you can at all, I

465
00:31:50,799 –> 00:31:56,319
suggest at least a gas generator, one possibly two battery

466
00:31:56,319 –> 00:32:02,839
storage units like the Blue Eddy AC or larger, and one,

467
00:32:02,920 –> 00:32:05,720
if not two, alternate heat sources. If you’re like here

468
00:32:05,759 –> 00:32:08,680
in Michigan where it gets really, really cold and having

469
00:32:08,680 –> 00:32:13,759
a power out can kill you. These climate morons are

470
00:32:13,839 –> 00:32:20,119
leading us right off a cliff. This is insanity, folks,

471
00:32:21,440 –> 00:32:26,400
And you cannot convince me that they’re not aware of

472
00:32:26,440 –> 00:32:31,400
what really happened in Spain and Portugal. They know, Oh

473
00:32:31,680 –> 00:32:34,400
they know. Every one of them have a report on

474
00:32:34,440 –> 00:32:38,519
their desk. They don’t want us little people to know

475
00:32:38,880 –> 00:32:43,319
because if we lose faith and their god, the green agenda,

476
00:32:44,160 –> 00:32:47,519
it’s over for them. But folks, it’s over for them.

477
00:32:48,799 –> 00:32:53,400
This prooves, this should prove beyond shadow of doubt that

478
00:32:53,440 –> 00:32:57,680
we cannot switch to one hundred percent what they call

479
00:32:57,839 –> 00:33:01,680
green energy. It’s not green. It’s very harmful to the planet,

480
00:33:02,160 –> 00:33:04,759
and it’s going to be very harmful to you. Start

481
00:33:04,920 –> 00:33:09,039
preparing now, you’re going the more they put solar out

482
00:33:09,039 –> 00:33:11,119
there and win power out there, the more they put

483
00:33:11,160 –> 00:33:15,759
that on your grid, the more the likelihood is that

484
00:33:15,920 –> 00:33:19,920
you are going to have rolling blackouts. Twenty four forty

485
00:33:19,920 –> 00:33:25,160
eight hour blackouts. This is just beginning, and if these

486
00:33:25,200 –> 00:33:28,119
idiots have their way, people are going to die from this.

487
00:33:31,039 –> 00:33:33,960
We’re gonna take a short break. We come back. We’re

488
00:33:33,960 –> 00:33:36,839
going to continue the fun and frivolity that is Sunday

489
00:33:36,880 –> 00:33:37,519
Night with Elan Ray.

490
00:33:37,519 –> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 8: Don’t go anywhere.

491
00:34:00,119 –> 00:34:03,559
Speaker 9: As a Blue Cross Medicare member, managing your medications from

492
00:34:03,599 –> 00:34:07,359
home is simple. With our easy to use prescription drug plans,

493
00:34:07,519 –> 00:34:09,920
you can get the medicine your doctor prescribes from your

494
00:34:09,960 –> 00:34:13,519
local pharmacy or even delivered by mail. For the trusted

495
00:34:13,559 –> 00:34:16,159
care you need and want, Blue Cross will be here

496
00:34:16,199 –> 00:34:19,239
with more convenient ways of getting it. Like we’ve been

Speaker 8: Oh hey Dave, I’m just making a list of things

502
00:34:34,159 –> 00:34:35,360
that make me feel really.

503
00:34:35,119 –> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 3: Really good. Wearing Bomba socks. Trust me, that’s number one

504
00:34:38,280 –> 00:34:38,800
on my list.

505
00:34:39,000 –> 00:34:41,519
Speaker 6: Bomba socks feels so good because we use the smartest

507

because socks are the number one most requested clothing item

508
00:34:48,239 –> 00:34:50,639
and homeless shelters, we donate a pair for every pair

509
00:34:50,639 –> 00:34:52,599

539
00:36:43,559 –> 00:36:46,199
been kind of a bad week for our friends on

540
00:36:46,239 –> 00:36:49,440
the left side of politics. There’s been some successes that

541
00:36:49,519 –> 00:36:52,800
I’m sure they don’t want to talk about. They’re gonna

542
00:36:52,800 –> 00:36:55,440
have to do something really major to get to get

543
00:36:55,559 –> 00:36:59,400
people’s minds off things like a potential Chinese settlement with

544
00:36:59,519 –> 00:37:03,519
the trade war that’s going on and the sudden India

545
00:37:03,639 –> 00:37:11,000
Pakistan ceasefire. Now, let me give you a backstory. Last

546
00:37:11,039 –> 00:37:14,079
year in June, I went on a cruise. Actually, I

547
00:37:14,119 –> 00:37:16,519
went to the East coast in North Carolina, took it

548
00:37:16,519 –> 00:37:18,920
all the way down to Miami, and then jumped a

549
00:37:18,960 –> 00:37:21,320
ship with some of my wife’s classmates. While we were

550
00:37:21,360 –> 00:37:23,199
on the ship, one night at dinner, we’re all sitting

551
00:37:23,199 –> 00:37:26,199
around the same table, and a friend of hers was

552
00:37:26,239 –> 00:37:29,000
talking about a book. She was reading, a series of

553
00:37:29,000 –> 00:37:30,840
books she was reading that I found very interesting. I

554
00:37:30,840 –> 00:37:33,079
was like, I want to read those, and my wife,

555
00:37:33,119 –> 00:37:35,760
being the wife that she is, Oh my God, bless

556
00:37:35,760 –> 00:37:40,480
her heart. It wasn’t a week later that Amazon rolled up,

557
00:37:40,599 –> 00:37:42,880
threw out a package and on behold, I had all

558
00:37:42,880 –> 00:37:47,639
three books. This is what I’m married to. She is

559
00:37:47,840 –> 00:37:51,039
such a great woman, and she knows. She’s like, if

560
00:37:51,039 –> 00:37:52,639
he said that he wants to read it, he wants

561
00:37:52,639 –> 00:37:55,960
to read it. But let me first of all before

562
00:37:55,960 –> 00:37:57,960
I tell you what the book is. This is published

563
00:37:57,960 –> 00:38:00,320
in twenty fifteen. The first time I think of a

564
00:38:00,440 –> 00:38:04,280
paperback was in twenty sixteen. I want to read an

565
00:38:04,280 –> 00:38:09,440
excerpt from this book. India and Pakistan can agree on

566
00:38:09,440 –> 00:38:13,960
one thing, neither wants the other one around. This is

567
00:38:14,000 –> 00:38:17,280
somewhat problematic given that they share a oney nine hundred

568
00:38:17,320 –> 00:38:21,559
mile long border. Each country fairly bristles with antagonism and

569
00:38:21,639 –> 00:38:25,440
nuclear weapons. So how they manage this unwanted relationship is

570
00:38:25,480 –> 00:38:27,639
a matter of life and death on a scale of

571
00:38:27,719 –> 00:38:31,360
tens of millions. India has a population of one point

572
00:38:31,440 –> 00:38:36,199
three billion people, while Pakistan is about two hundred million. Impoverished, volatile,

573
00:38:36,320 –> 00:38:40,039
and splintering. Pakistan appears to define itself by its opposition

574
00:38:40,119 –> 00:38:44,280
to India, while India, despite obsessing about Pakistan, defines itself

575
00:38:44,280 –> 00:38:47,519
in many ways, including that of being an emerging world

576
00:38:47,599 –> 00:38:51,119
power with growing an economy and an expanding middle class.

577
00:38:51,760 –> 00:38:54,920
From this vantage point, it looks across at Pakistan and

578
00:38:54,920 –> 00:38:57,519
sees how it outperforms it on almost all economic and

579
00:38:57,559 –> 00:39:03,199
democratic indicators. They have fought four major wars and many skirmishes.

580
00:39:03,440 –> 00:39:08,679
Emotions run hot. An oft quoted remark by a Pakistani

581
00:39:08,760 –> 00:39:12,679
officer that Pakistan would make India bleed by one thousand

582
00:39:12,679 –> 00:39:16,639
cuts was addressed in late twenty fourteen by a military analyst,

583
00:39:16,800 –> 00:39:22,000
doctor amar Amarjit Singh, writing in the Indian Defense Review.

584
00:39:22,840 –> 00:39:24,760
What others may believe and this is his quote, what

585
00:39:24,840 –> 00:39:27,840
others may believe, My opinion is simply that it is

586
00:39:27,840 –> 00:39:30,440
better for India to brave a costly nuclear attack by

587
00:39:30,440 –> 00:39:32,880
Pakistan and get it over with, even at the cost

588
00:39:32,920 –> 00:39:37,119
of tens of millions of deaths, than suffering ignomity and

589
00:39:37,400 –> 00:39:40,320
pain day in and day out through one thousand cuts

590
00:39:40,360 –> 00:39:44,519
and wasted energy and unrealized potential. That may not reflect

591
00:39:44,519 –> 00:39:46,960
official government policy, but it is an indication of the

592
00:39:47,000 –> 00:39:51,000
depth of feeling at many levels in both societies. Modern

593
00:39:51,039 –> 00:39:54,119
Pakistan and India were born in fire. Next time the

594
00:39:54,159 –> 00:39:58,320
fire could kill them. Okay, this book was written in

595
00:39:58,440 –> 00:40:05,119
twenty fifteen. This is the second time that things have happened,

596
00:40:06,159 –> 00:40:10,960
the Russia Ukraine War. He addresses that in this book.

597
00:40:12,239 –> 00:40:14,239
When it started up, I went, my god, the guy

598
00:40:14,320 –> 00:40:19,239
was right. When this started happening, I went in my

599
00:40:19,320 –> 00:40:21,280
mind just immediately went back to this book and I was like,

600
00:40:21,920 –> 00:40:26,079
explains a lot. This book is called Prisoners of Geography.

601
00:40:27,079 –> 00:40:31,119
It’s written by Tim Marshall. I don’t know Tim Marshall’s politics.

602
00:40:31,159 –> 00:40:35,679
I don’t frankly care. This book is just absolutely chalk

603
00:40:36,119 –> 00:40:42,519
full of very good reasoning of why we see some

604
00:40:42,559 –> 00:40:45,639
of the things we do in this world in regards

605
00:40:45,639 –> 00:40:53,440
to politics, borders, wars, whatever. Now I am on book

606
00:40:53,480 –> 00:40:58,159
two of this series, called The Power of Geography. I

607
00:40:58,159 –> 00:41:00,559
haven’t gotten too far into it, but I need to

608
00:41:00,639 –> 00:41:06,880
just put more effort into sitting down with this book

609
00:41:06,920 –> 00:41:10,840
and just going through it because it’s very interesting. The

610
00:41:10,840 –> 00:41:12,960
problem is I chase squirrels. I get up in the morning,

611
00:41:12,960 –> 00:41:14,400
I don’t take have time and I need to just

612
00:41:14,440 –> 00:41:17,320
sit and drink my coffee and read a book instead

613
00:41:17,320 –> 00:41:21,960
of doing anything else I do. Anyways, that said again,

614
00:41:22,079 –> 00:41:26,280
Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall. Get the whole series.

615
00:41:26,320 –> 00:41:30,480
There’s three books in it, very very informative stuff if

616
00:41:30,480 –> 00:41:34,880
you want to know why some of the volatility exists

617
00:41:35,039 –> 00:41:40,639
around the world. And he has gone in depth about China, Taiwan, Japan,

618
00:41:41,280 –> 00:41:48,519
the whole Asian area there and explains why the it’s

619
00:41:48,519 –> 00:41:53,639
a powder keg just waiting for one wrong move. So

620
00:41:53,920 –> 00:41:59,880
let’s jump back to the Guardian come out and said

621
00:41:59,880 –> 00:42:02,840
India and Pakistan have both claimed victory after a ceasefire

622
00:42:02,880 –> 00:42:05,000
was declared over the weekend, which brought the two nuclear

623
00:42:05,079 –> 00:42:08,280
nations back from the brink of war after days of

624
00:42:08,360 –> 00:42:11,320
escalating clashes that culminated in both sides launching missiles and

625
00:42:11,360 –> 00:42:14,360
drowne strikes on each other’s major military basis. The closest

626
00:42:14,360 –> 00:42:16,519
they had come to a full scale war in decades.

627
00:42:17,000 –> 00:42:20,360
The ceasefire between India and Pakistan was declared by US

628
00:42:20,480 –> 00:42:26,519
President Donald Trump on Saturday evening today. Trump further congratulated

629
00:42:26,519 –> 00:42:29,079
the two countries on having the strength, wisdom, and fortitude

630
00:42:29,119 –> 00:42:31,039
to fully know and understand that it was time to

631
00:42:31,039 –> 00:42:34,119
stop the current aggression that could have led to the

632
00:42:34,159 –> 00:42:37,039
death and destruction of so many and so much. Now,

633
00:42:37,079 –> 00:42:43,199
if you remember, right, Trump’s administration’s first basically their first

634
00:42:43,239 –> 00:42:48,079
take on this was it’s not our problem. The problem

635
00:42:48,119 –> 00:42:50,159
with that is it is our problem because these are

636
00:42:50,159 –> 00:42:53,559
both nuclear nations and all it takes is one happy

637
00:42:53,559 –> 00:42:56,159
trigger finger and the entire world is in a nuclear war.

638
00:42:58,039 –> 00:43:02,039
So somebody in that administration got to him and said, hey, dude,

639
00:43:02,280 –> 00:43:06,000
it is really it needs to be a problem, and

640
00:43:06,159 –> 00:43:09,400
we need to do something. And this is where it’s

641
00:43:09,440 –> 00:43:13,039
going to get really dicey for the Democrats, the neo

642
00:43:13,119 –> 00:43:19,800
socialist Democrats, because both sides are our claiming victory. You know, hey,

643
00:43:19,840 –> 00:43:21,920
we did it, We’re the champions, and they’re throwing parties

644
00:43:21,960 –> 00:43:26,440
and everything, but they’re also kind of acknowledging that if

645
00:43:26,519 –> 00:43:29,920
not for Donald Trump. And let me see, let me

646
00:43:30,039 –> 00:43:34,960
jump down to that rajah Faruk Hydrich Khan, former leader

647
00:43:35,000 –> 00:43:38,719
of Pakistan controlled Kashmir, led a celebratory rally near the

648
00:43:38,719 –> 00:43:41,920
disputed Kashmir border. We are celebrating the bravery, of our

649
00:43:42,000 –> 00:43:44,400
bravery of our armed forces who defend us, he said.

650
00:43:44,719 –> 00:43:48,239
He offered his gratitude to Trump for helping to resolve

651
00:43:48,280 –> 00:43:50,880
the conflict. This time we were so close to war.

652
00:43:51,039 –> 00:43:53,639
So his involvement was very welcome. But we have to

653
00:43:53,679 –> 00:43:56,400
say that without resolving the Kashmir issue, long term piece

654
00:43:56,519 –> 00:44:00,519
can’t prevail in the region. So ah, so the media

655
00:44:00,599 –> 00:44:03,119
is going to have to do something here because these

656
00:44:03,159 –> 00:44:07,559
guys are saying, hey, Trump, help brokeer this piece. We

657
00:44:07,679 –> 00:44:13,880
can’t have that. Oh my gosh, this is horrible. And

658
00:44:13,960 –> 00:44:19,440
if that doesn’t make it worse, today it came out

659
00:44:20,079 –> 00:44:24,639
that there may be there may be an end to

660
00:44:24,880 –> 00:44:31,800
the China economic issue, that we’ve reached an economic agreement

661
00:44:31,800 –> 00:44:35,800
with China. This is horrible for these guys, This is

662
00:44:36,000 –> 00:44:42,320
terrible for the left, horrible. They can’t have Trump having victories.

663
00:44:42,599 –> 00:44:44,599
They’re going to have to bury it. They’re going to

664
00:44:44,639 –> 00:44:49,559
have to do something highly idiotic in order to make

665
00:44:49,599 –> 00:44:53,360
it fall flat on its space. And folks, trust me,

666
00:44:54,360 –> 00:44:59,199
trust me, these people are not beyond anything. They’re not

667
00:44:59,360 –> 00:45:07,400
above doing anything personally. It wouldn’t surprise me if you

668
00:45:07,639 –> 00:45:13,880
have paid aggressors in Pakistan and India right now, funded

669
00:45:13,960 –> 00:45:18,800
by the Sorels Foundation, Democrat Party, their backdoor issues. Thank

670
00:45:18,920 –> 00:45:22,960
god USAID is pretty much disbanded now. Thank god it’s

671
00:45:23,000 –> 00:45:25,760
being under a microscope and all the money, because you

672
00:45:25,840 –> 00:45:28,760
know darn well, they’d be just struggling money towards both

673
00:45:28,800 –> 00:45:33,880
countries trying to get that thing stoked up. They’re not

674
00:45:34,039 –> 00:45:40,639
beyond this, folks. They cannot have make America Great Again succeed.

675
00:45:40,760 –> 00:45:46,840
If it does, they don’t just lose power, they lose

676
00:45:46,960 –> 00:45:52,679
their entire plan for decades. What’s happening right now, And

677
00:45:52,960 –> 00:45:57,280
it’s not just Trump, it’s Italy’s prime minister, it’s I mean,

678
00:45:57,320 –> 00:46:01,559
it’s several things that people country are starting to vote in,

679
00:46:02,719 –> 00:46:07,119
people with more right wing ideologies, and not just right

680
00:46:07,159 –> 00:46:14,000
ring wing ideologies, but actually non globalist, non World Economic Forum,

681
00:46:14,119 –> 00:46:21,199
non Soros Foundation, non United Nations stupidity. They’re voting these

682
00:46:21,239 –> 00:46:26,199
people in and they are defiantly thumbing their nose at

683
00:46:26,239 –> 00:46:30,159
the World Economic Forum, at these globalists, these elites that

684
00:46:30,280 –> 00:46:33,159
we were told it’s just a crazy conspiracy theory that

685
00:46:33,159 –> 00:46:35,760
they even exist. But now we know they’re running everything,

686
00:46:35,840 –> 00:46:38,760
running everything from finances all the way down to your

687
00:46:38,840 –> 00:46:46,000
local government. Everything. They cannot have these people succeed. They

688
00:46:46,039 –> 00:46:50,000
will lose everything if they do. If everything starts turning around,

689
00:46:50,199 –> 00:46:56,000
if we start if we start smoothing things out, if

690
00:46:56,039 –> 00:46:59,679
people find out they don’t have to be taxed half

691
00:46:59,719 –> 00:47:03,719
of the income and still have hospitals and roads and

692
00:47:03,760 –> 00:47:10,400
things like that. Folks, they just can’t have it. You

693
00:47:10,440 –> 00:47:17,440
should expect anything. They’re not beyond. They’re not above even

694
00:47:17,480 –> 00:47:21,119
provoking a nuclear war. These people think that they cannot

695
00:47:21,440 –> 00:47:30,480
be that they have the only way. They’re insane. Now

696
00:47:32,280 –> 00:47:37,000
moving on, this is one thing that I may not

697
00:47:37,039 –> 00:47:43,480
agree with Donald Trump on, but I also get it.

698
00:47:46,159 –> 00:47:48,159
And I love it that ABC News came out with

699
00:47:48,199 –> 00:47:51,239
this headline because it makes me laugh. ABC News, NBC News,

700
00:47:51,239 –> 00:47:54,320
they all make me laugh these days. They’re so biased

701
00:47:54,800 –> 00:47:57,639
that they don’t even try to hide it anymore. This

702
00:47:57,679 –> 00:48:02,400
is the dramatic title of this this. Uh, this is

703
00:48:02,440 –> 00:48:06,599
a dramatic title of this article. Beacon of Freedom dims

704
00:48:06,639 –> 00:48:14,239
as US initiatives that promote democracy abroad. Whither oh oh, oh,

705
00:48:14,320 –> 00:48:19,440
my gosh, Actually, what they’re talking about a shutting down

706
00:48:19,519 –> 00:48:26,679
Voice of America. My thoughts. And first of all, let’s

707
00:48:26,760 –> 00:48:29,840
let’s just read an excerpt of this dribble, this garbage

708
00:48:29,880 –> 00:48:32,519
from ABC. It pains me just to even do it

709
00:48:32,519 –> 00:48:36,039
because they start out with one example, and it’s not

710
00:48:36,079 –> 00:48:38,480
a bad example. It’s not a bad example. And I’ll

711
00:48:38,480 –> 00:48:40,960
tell you why in a minute. Growing up in the

712
00:48:40,960 –> 00:48:48,599
former Soviet Union, Pedro Spickobowski, there’s a Pedro Spilikowski Gonzalez,

713
00:48:49,199 –> 00:48:53,880
So a Mexican Russian. That’s obviously a Mexican Russian, a

714
00:48:53,960 –> 00:48:58,800
Russian Mexican. Anyways, Pedro Gonzalez’s father and grandparents would listen

715
00:48:58,800 –> 00:49:01,039
to Voice from America with their ear pressed to the radio.

716
00:49:01,079 –> 00:49:04,559
Oh yes, press to the radio, trying to catch words

717
00:49:04,599 –> 00:49:08,519
through the government’s radio jamming. The US funded news service

718
00:49:08,559 –> 00:49:10,880
was instrumental in helping them understand what was happening on

719
00:49:10,880 –> 00:49:13,119
the other side of the Iron Curtain before they moved

720
00:49:13,159 –> 00:49:17,519
to the United States in the nineteen seventies. Oh, without

721
00:49:17,920 –> 00:49:25,039
radio Free America, there’s nothing we can hear. Anyways, When

722
00:49:25,199 –> 00:49:29,639
Spivakowski’s Gonzales and his family heard of President Donald Trump’s

723
00:49:29,639 –> 00:49:32,800
attempt to dismantle the US Agency for Global Media, the

724
00:49:32,840 –> 00:49:35,440
agency that oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe at

725
00:49:35,519 –> 00:49:38,519
Radio Free Asia. He said it was a gut punch. Well,

726
00:49:40,400 –> 00:49:42,079
I’m just gonna stop right there because you get just

727
00:49:42,119 –> 00:49:44,079
only it’s ABC. You can only imagine. I mean, this

728
00:49:44,159 –> 00:49:46,920
is the end of the world. People are gonna die, YadA, YadA,

729
00:49:46,960 –> 00:49:51,519
add nauseum. All of their articles are basically the same.

730
00:49:54,360 –> 00:49:57,760
I’m gonna give it to you straight. Do I think

731
00:49:57,760 –> 00:49:59,679
he can shut it down? No, I don’t think he should.

732
00:49:59,760 –> 00:50:02,079
I I don’t think he should shut down Voice of America,

733
00:50:02,440 –> 00:50:07,880
Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia. I really don’t. What

734
00:50:07,960 –> 00:50:11,400
he needs to do is revamp it like he’s done

735
00:50:11,400 –> 00:50:15,800
everything else. I understand why he’s going to do it.

736
00:50:16,119 –> 00:50:19,480
I mean, your tax dollars going to what they’re spreading

737
00:50:19,519 –> 00:50:23,239
right now, I’ve heard Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia,

738
00:50:23,639 –> 00:50:29,559
Voice of America. It has been turned into a leftist ideology,

739
00:50:30,000 –> 00:50:36,440
loud mouth short wave broadcasting of leftist ideology. It’s not

740
00:50:36,559 –> 00:50:43,079
really about democracy, it’s about global socialism. Now imagine NPR

741
00:50:43,239 –> 00:50:46,840
being broadcast around the entire world on short wave. It’s

742
00:50:46,920 –> 00:50:57,559
kind of what it’s become. Okay, However, there were aspects

743
00:50:57,599 –> 00:51:02,599
of it that were actually valuable, just general news. When

744
00:51:02,639 –> 00:51:05,199
they stuck to the news story and that interjected it

745
00:51:05,239 –> 00:51:11,119
with you know, their green agenda and polar bears are

746
00:51:11,239 –> 00:51:14,119
dying because they don’t have ice, YadA YadA. If they

747
00:51:14,159 –> 00:51:19,360
stuck to their normal broadcasting, they’re pretty good. However, like NPR,

748
00:51:20,519 –> 00:51:25,440
like AP, like all the government funded news agencies, they

749
00:51:25,480 –> 00:51:30,039
were promoting leftism. They were puking out, spitting out, spewing

750
00:51:30,280 –> 00:51:37,280
their globalist agenda all over the world. I don’t agree

751
00:51:37,400 –> 00:51:39,280
with Donald Trump that he should shut it down, and

752
00:51:39,320 –> 00:51:41,159
I will openly say that to anyone. I don’t care

753
00:51:41,199 –> 00:51:46,119
what you say. What he needs to do is actually

754
00:51:46,679 –> 00:51:52,320
start talking about broadcasting on these airwaves. What’s really going

755
00:51:52,400 –> 00:51:57,239
on with places like the United States right now, the

756
00:51:57,280 –> 00:52:05,960
internal battle we’re fighting between global socialism and freedom americanism.

757
00:52:07,000 –> 00:52:10,559
What’s going on in Italy right now, Whether a prime

758
00:52:10,599 –> 00:52:13,639
minister is upsetting the apple cart because she refuses to

759
00:52:13,679 –> 00:52:16,440
go along with the European Union, she refuses to go

760
00:52:16,519 –> 00:52:19,679
along with Germany’s little, you know, bow to us, little

761
00:52:19,719 –> 00:52:24,840
nazist state they’ve got there, but they’re disguising as socialism. Argentina,

762
00:52:24,960 –> 00:52:29,719
places like that all these places that are turning against leftism,

763
00:52:30,400 –> 00:52:37,639
start reporting on them, start showing the world that neo socialism,

764
00:52:37,679 –> 00:52:42,840
that globalism, that World Economic Forum, Sorol’s Foundation, Clinton Foundation,

765
00:52:43,079 –> 00:52:49,760
Gates Foundation, billionaire idiots are passe. They’re over, they’re done.

766
00:52:49,920 –> 00:52:53,119
We are going to take freedom back. You’re going to

767
00:52:53,159 –> 00:52:55,480
be an individual again. You’re not going to have to

768
00:52:55,519 –> 00:52:57,760
eat bugs, you’re not going to have to live in

769
00:52:57,760 –> 00:53:01,599
a shipping crate and just podcast set out on shortwave.

770
00:53:01,679 –> 00:53:05,599
There’s estimates that six hundred million homes still have a

771
00:53:05,639 –> 00:53:09,159
short wave radio across the world, and that estimate has

772
00:53:09,280 –> 00:53:12,079
been it’s a iffy. They don’t really know. They think

773
00:53:12,119 –> 00:53:13,960
it could even be as high as two point five

774
00:53:14,079 –> 00:53:17,360
billion people still have shortwave radios. Or it could be

775
00:53:17,519 –> 00:53:20,360
like me and have one house that’s got what like ten, fifteen,

776
00:53:20,400 –> 00:53:27,880
twenty shortwave radios. Hey, either one. But all I’m saying

777
00:53:28,159 –> 00:53:30,639
is that I don’t agree that he should shut that down.

778
00:53:32,920 –> 00:53:36,039
It’s we’ve we’ve learned, and you’ve heard it on this

779
00:53:36,119 –> 00:53:39,639
show time after time again, we’ve learned from the tragedies

780
00:53:39,880 –> 00:53:47,679
in North Carolina, Hawaii, California, there is still a place

781
00:53:47,880 –> 00:53:51,400
for long range communications. EFFIM Radio can only go so far.

782
00:53:52,320 –> 00:53:56,079
AM radio at night, it can go a lot farther

783
00:53:56,119 –> 00:53:59,800
in the day it don’t. Short wave radio can travel

784
00:54:00,320 –> 00:54:04,920
long distances very efficiently. This is why I tell people

785
00:54:04,960 –> 00:54:07,920
you want an emergency radio, make sure you have shortwave

786
00:54:08,000 –> 00:54:12,920
in it, shortwave AM, shortwave, single sideband, both upper and lower.

787
00:54:13,239 –> 00:54:16,639
Have all of those in your radio. You stand a

788
00:54:16,639 –> 00:54:21,079
better chance of figuring out what’s going on. Learn how

789
00:54:21,079 –> 00:54:24,280
to connect a wire to it, a nice sixty foot

790
00:54:24,280 –> 00:54:26,239
wire to it, and throw it up in a tree somewhere,

791
00:54:26,880 –> 00:54:31,400
and you’ll get things in that you’ve never even knew existed. No,

792
00:54:31,679 –> 00:54:33,800
Donald Trump, I don’t think you should shut all this down.

793
00:54:33,840 –> 00:54:38,320
I think you need to revamp it, revamp it and

794
00:54:38,360 –> 00:54:41,920
start sending out to the entire world. We used to

795
00:54:42,039 –> 00:54:45,920
just like aim it at communist countries China, Russia, places

796
00:54:45,960 –> 00:54:48,000
like that, so they can hear what’s going on because

797
00:54:48,000 –> 00:54:50,639
they’re blacked out. What we need to do is we

798
00:54:50,679 –> 00:54:54,119
need to aim it everywhere, and especially to these places

799
00:54:54,119 –> 00:54:58,280
that have been taken over by neo socialist butt heads,

800
00:54:59,000 –> 00:55:04,039
and tell them what living free is about. Getting off

801
00:55:04,079 –> 00:55:07,639
of the government teat is all about what this government

802
00:55:07,679 –> 00:55:11,079
actually has planned for your What you’re a government actually

803
00:55:11,119 –> 00:55:13,280
has planned for you. If you continue down the road

804
00:55:13,760 –> 00:55:19,599
of global socialism, you will own nothing and you will

805
00:55:19,679 –> 00:55:22,679
enjoy yourself because of it. You will just be a

806
00:55:22,719 –> 00:55:29,239
mindless robot. All you’re every indulgent will be met and

807
00:55:29,280 –> 00:55:33,800
you’ll live a shallow, empty, meaningless life. Congratulations, you are

808
00:55:33,840 –> 00:55:36,159
a ward of the state and if you don’t bow

809
00:55:36,239 –> 00:55:43,119
to us, well you’re going to be ostracized. Put that

810
00:55:43,159 –> 00:55:45,159
mark of the beast on your head. Yeah, that’s what

811
00:55:45,199 –> 00:55:49,719
you gotta do. Gotta have one ex Joel’s imitation in there,

812
00:55:50,880 –> 00:55:56,440
So there you go. There you have it. Yeah, it’s

813
00:55:56,440 –> 00:55:58,119
one thing I don’t agree with. He needs to just

814
00:55:58,159 –> 00:56:02,679
revamp it. California a couple of years ago came out

815
00:56:02,679 –> 00:56:05,000
and said they were gonna shut down all of their

816
00:56:05,039 –> 00:56:08,519
short wave transmitters, all of their emergency broadcast stuff, and

817
00:56:08,559 –> 00:56:10,320
I was like, that is the dumbest That is the

818
00:56:10,360 –> 00:56:15,320
stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. What else

819
00:56:15,360 –> 00:56:17,840
we got here? Oh yeah, Operations have returned to normal

820
00:56:17,840 –> 00:56:21,519
in Newark Airport after the equipment outage. And what’s funny

821
00:56:21,559 –> 00:56:25,960
is the usual players. The Chuck Schumer’s the the who’s

822
00:56:26,000 –> 00:56:30,079
the guy that banged the Chinese spy, swallowell, all the

823
00:56:30,159 –> 00:56:34,000
usual suspect you see, Donald Trump did Donald Trump? He

824
00:56:34,119 –> 00:56:38,840
caused this. Really, we just came off of four years

825
00:56:38,840 –> 00:56:41,760
and Joe Biden. That equipment’s a lot older than four years.

826
00:56:42,519 –> 00:56:47,719
You could have fixed it. Oh you didn’t. Oh okay,

827
00:56:47,920 –> 00:56:50,639
some of the equipment’s even older than Barack Obama. Yeah,

828
00:56:50,639 –> 00:56:52,639
Barack Obama for eight years. Did you fix it? Then?

829
00:56:53,000 –> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 8: Oh you didn’t?

830
00:56:54,719 –> 00:57:03,119
Speaker 3: Oh darn Yeah. Some of those craps are some of

831
00:57:03,159 –> 00:57:08,320
this money that were basically saving in the government, this

832
00:57:09,079 –> 00:57:12,039
bureaucracy stuff. Maybe we should update some of the stuff

833
00:57:12,039 –> 00:57:15,440
that Act he matters. I’d like to have it all

834
00:57:15,480 –> 00:57:18,199
back in my bank account. But if they have to

835
00:57:18,280 –> 00:57:22,880
keep some of it, I don’t know, update some of

836
00:57:22,920 –> 00:57:29,239
our infrastructure. Maybe that’s what we need to do. I

837
00:57:29,239 –> 00:57:30,599
think the most of it needs to go back in

838
00:57:30,639 –> 00:57:37,199
my bank account, though. What a fun and happy thing.

839
00:57:37,639 –> 00:57:41,800
All right, I’m gonna end on this one. I finally

840
00:57:41,840 –> 00:57:43,400
I locked into this, and I don’t know why I did.

841
00:57:44,960 –> 00:57:48,519
And this is more of a front porch forensics thing

842
00:57:48,559 –> 00:57:52,880
than anything. And The Independent last week they had a

843
00:57:52,920 –> 00:57:55,199
cold case of a missing Wisconsin mother that was solved

844
00:57:55,199 –> 00:57:58,679
after more than sixty years. The cold case of a

845
00:57:58,719 –> 00:58:01,199
young Wisconsin woman who went missing for more than sixty

846
00:58:01,280 –> 00:58:03,920
years ago was finally has finally been solved after she

847
00:58:04,039 –> 00:58:08,400
was found alive and well. Audrey and Backberg, a mother

848
00:58:08,440 –> 00:58:11,239
of two, vanished from the city of Reedsburg in July

849
00:58:11,559 –> 00:58:14,960
nineteen sixty two when she was twenty years old. According

850
00:58:14,960 –> 00:58:17,960
to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the family babysitter claimed

851
00:58:18,000 –> 00:58:22,480
that she and Backenberg hitchhike to Madison, Wisconsin, and said

852
00:58:22,519 –> 00:58:24,840
that she last saw her walking around the corner away

853
00:58:24,880 –> 00:58:32,719
from the bus stop. Backerberg never returned home. Over the years,

854
00:58:32,760 –> 00:58:36,039
investigators had pursued numerous leads in an effort to determine

855
00:58:36,079 –> 00:58:40,719
where her whereabouts. None were successful in the case, eventually McCole. However,

856
00:58:40,920 –> 00:58:44,920
last week, the South County Sheriff’s Office announced that Backerberg

857
00:58:44,960 –> 00:58:47,440
had been found alive and simply living out of state.

858
00:58:47,599 –> 00:58:51,039
She’s now eighty two years old. Further investigation is revealed

859
00:58:51,039 –> 00:58:53,400
that her disappearance was by her own choice and not

860
00:58:53,440 –> 00:58:56,880
the result of any crimical, criminal activity or foul play.

861
00:58:57,239 –> 00:59:01,039
According to the Charlie Product, which files missing persons in

862
00:59:01,119 –> 00:59:05,119
cold cases. Backerberg married Ronald Backberg when she was about

863
00:59:05,159 –> 00:59:08,159
fifteen years old. Their marriage was troubled and there was

864
00:59:08,199 –> 00:59:11,079
allegations of abuse. The case was looked into again earlier

865
00:59:11,119 –> 00:59:13,519
this year after it was assigned to Sheriff’s Office detective

866
00:59:13,800 –> 00:59:16,480
for comprehensive review as part of an ongoing examination of

867
00:59:16,480 –> 00:59:20,920
cold case files. The investigation included a thorough reevaluation of

868
00:59:20,960 –> 00:59:24,800
all case files and evidence, combined with reinterviewing witnesses and

869
00:59:24,880 –> 00:59:29,239
uncovering new insights. The Sheriff’s Office would like to acknowledge

870
00:59:29,280 –> 00:59:32,280
the work of investigators both past and presence. County Sheriff

871
00:59:32,519 –> 00:59:36,480
chip Meister said in a statement, Now as that chip Meister,

872
00:59:36,639 –> 00:59:41,400
or is that Chipmeister, because you know the Chipmeister, meister Chipper. Anyways,

873
00:59:41,639 –> 00:59:45,719
despite the significant challenges that many cold cases present, this

874
00:59:45,760 –> 00:59:48,400
resolution underscores both the importance of continued work in the

875
00:59:48,400 –> 00:59:51,519
dedication of Sheriff’s office to provoke providing answers to family

876
00:59:51,519 –> 00:59:56,000
and community. So there you have it, now, for give up,

877
00:59:56,239 –> 00:59:59,920
never surrounder, sixty year old cold case. Come to find out,

878
01:00:00,440 –> 01:00:07,199
she just split. That’s all I was. I’m Ellen Ray.

879
01:00:09,440 –> 01:00:11,760
This is Sunday Night with Ellen Ray. I’m glad you

880
01:00:11,880 –> 01:00:15,400
joined in. Good Lord three hundred and sixty three views,

881
01:00:15,480 –> 01:00:18,000
probably more than that. On the other this is just Twitter.

882
01:00:20,239 –> 01:00:23,280
I’m here every Sunday night, Lord Willing, I might take

883
01:00:23,519 –> 01:00:28,639
Memorial Day Sunday off thinking about it, thinking very very

884
01:00:28,679 –> 01:00:33,840
hard about it. Probably will because you know, life short,

885
01:00:35,199 –> 01:00:37,639
three day weekend. You gotta do a little bit of

886
01:00:37,639 –> 01:00:41,000
a fun and frivolity, and I’m thinking that might be

887
01:00:41,079 –> 01:00:44,000
what I do. But other than that, I’m here every

888
01:00:44,039 –> 01:00:47,519
Sunday night, same bat time, same bat place, nine o’clock

889
01:00:48,239 –> 01:00:50,719
eastern Satday time, which is, as we know, the only

890
01:00:50,760 –> 01:00:53,400
time that matters here on klr and radio. And by

891
01:00:53,400 –> 01:00:57,519
the way, keep it locked on KLRN Radio all week long.

892
01:00:58,119 –> 01:01:01,239
CAD Sunday nights have just gotten really good. I mean

893
01:01:01,239 –> 01:01:03,679
we usually have the Bencent Charles project was he was

894
01:01:03,719 –> 01:01:06,920
a wall today he had things. You know, life gets

895
01:01:06,960 –> 01:01:10,719
in the way. Sometimes we have Corn Mimick Corns reading room.

896
01:01:10,760 –> 01:01:13,920
God’s he’s doing good and of course he’s got a corky,

897
01:01:14,000 –> 01:01:17,119
he’s got a pup, so we love him. Yep, Corn,

898
01:01:17,119 –> 01:01:20,440
welcome to the family. Really like have him around. You

899
01:01:20,519 –> 01:01:23,440
got into Crease right now with Jeff right before me,

900
01:01:24,400 –> 01:01:27,079
and of course you got me Alan Ray Sunday night

901
01:01:27,119 –> 01:01:30,320
with Alan Ray wrapping it all up. You’re a weekly

902
01:01:30,440 –> 01:01:40,639
dose of doom food. Have a great week. Stay off

903
01:01:40,679 –> 01:01:45,400
of social media. It’s all fake anyways, not all fake.

904
01:01:45,840 –> 01:01:49,760
There’s just got the doom. He’s got that doom sign

905
01:01:49,840 –> 01:01:53,039
up there. I love it. It’s not all fake. The

906
01:01:53,039 –> 01:01:55,119
people I interact with they’re good. But there’s just a

907
01:01:55,360 –> 01:02:01,559
so many bots, so much fake crap on here. Take

908
01:02:01,599 –> 01:02:05,519
a big deep breath and pause and maybe look into

909
01:02:05,559 –> 01:02:09,480
who’s saying what when you scroll through social media and

910
01:02:09,599 –> 01:02:15,840
see if it’s a bot. Some little Chinese girl over

911
01:02:16,400 –> 01:02:19,599
thousands of miles away is pressing buttons and just to

912
01:02:19,599 –> 01:02:22,039
get your goat, just to get you going. It’s all

913
01:02:22,079 –> 01:02:25,559
fake and gay. You’re exactly right already, it’s all fake

914
01:02:25,639 –> 01:02:33,199
and gay. Dead Internet theory, dead Twitter theory. But always research, always,

915
01:02:33,280 –> 01:02:35,960
always look into it before you start getting mad getting

916
01:02:36,000 –> 01:02:42,280
an attitude going off research things. Be smart, Be smarter

917
01:02:42,400 –> 01:02:44,679
than the idiots that want to rule over you, lord

918
01:02:44,719 –> 01:02:49,559
over you, because when you’re smarter than I mean, let’s

919
01:02:49,559 –> 01:02:51,079
face it, guys, it used to be you had to

920
01:02:51,119 –> 01:02:53,559
be fairly on the ball to get elected to a position.

921
01:02:54,159 –> 01:02:55,760
You don’t have to be anymore. Look at some of

922
01:02:55,760 –> 01:02:59,320
the people that are that are in Congress right now. Wow,

923
01:02:59,480 –> 01:03:01,679
look at who just kicked out of the White House

924
01:03:01,679 –> 01:03:04,840
as a president didn’t even have a brain. It was gone, gone,

925
01:03:05,079 –> 01:03:07,679
And when it functioned for the last forty five years,

926
01:03:07,760 –> 01:03:11,559
it was barely functioning anyway, to mention the fact that

927
01:03:11,599 –> 01:03:23,199
it was probably functioning on white powdery substance. Oh be smarter,

928
01:03:24,960 –> 01:03:28,800
I’ll be back. God bless we’ll talk again soon.
