00:00:00,170 –> 00:00:42,049
Speaker 1: Where liberty and reason still reign. Doom! It is Sunday

2
00:00:42,070 –> 00:00:45,170
Night with Alan Ray. I am your humble host, Alan Ray.

3
00:00:45,210 –> 00:00:50,460
Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. How is

4
00:00:50,500 –> 00:00:53,679
this going to go? I really don’t know. I mean, folks,

5
00:00:53,740 –> 00:00:57,200
I’ll tell you what. This has been a day. And

6
00:00:58,219 –> 00:01:02,159
just so you know, I missed last week. May not

7
00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:07,159
be back next week because I’m having dental surgery. I

8
00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:08,540
don’t know if I’m going to be able to talk.

9
00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:12,950
I’m going to try. But I might be in some pain.

10
00:01:13,129 –> 00:01:15,299
I’m going to play next week by ear. Keep an

11
00:01:15,420 –> 00:01:18,939
eye out on the Twitterverse. And I’ll let you know.

12
00:01:19,159 –> 00:01:20,780
I’ll let you know. Not going to make any promises.

13
00:01:20,819 –> 00:01:26,400
But today’s been crazy. I did about almost four, between

14
00:01:26,439 –> 00:01:30,400
three and a half hours and four hours of heavy

15
00:01:30,459 –> 00:01:34,500
rehearsal on an upcoming show I have in about three weeks.

16
00:01:35,730 –> 00:01:39,849
And I’m playing acoustic guitar, not bass. I’ll probably play

17
00:01:39,890 –> 00:01:42,769
bass on a couple of songs. but 90% of what

18
00:01:42,790 –> 00:01:47,310
I’m doing is going to be acoustic guitar. And I’ve

19
00:01:47,370 –> 00:01:51,170
done a few acoustic shows by myself, but never like

20
00:01:51,310 –> 00:01:54,799
in a duet type setting. So am I nervous? No,

21
00:01:55,060 –> 00:01:59,099
not really because I’m not really doing anything super ultra

22
00:01:59,239 –> 00:02:05,900
Uber complicated, but I’m practicing my butt off. I’m going

23
00:02:05,920 –> 00:02:08,599
to make sure that I’ve got all the bases covered.

24
00:02:08,919 –> 00:02:12,590
It’s a, it’s going to be crazy. So, Yeah, it’s

25
00:02:12,629 –> 00:02:15,789
been one of those, been the past couple of weeks

26
00:02:15,889 –> 00:02:19,509
actually has been crazy. Last weekend, I just, by the

27
00:02:19,550 –> 00:02:22,430
time I got down to the end of the day

28
00:02:22,490 –> 00:02:24,909
last week, I was done. I was baked. I was cooked.

29
00:02:24,930 –> 00:02:27,069
I had a three-day weekend and you couldn’t prove it

30
00:02:27,129 –> 00:02:31,129
by me. Absolutely could not prove. There’s a wedding in

31
00:02:31,169 –> 00:02:33,840
my back three acres of my property. So there’s a

32
00:02:33,849 –> 00:02:36,000
big tent out there and I was kind of helping

33
00:02:36,060 –> 00:02:40,039
doing some things with them and congratulations to the bride

34
00:02:40,080 –> 00:02:43,729
and groom. It was kind of neat. Um, my daughter

35
00:02:43,830 –> 00:02:47,569
and son-in-law came down, we went to a play and

36
00:02:47,590 –> 00:02:49,349
I went out to dinner first and then do a play.

37
00:02:49,710 –> 00:02:53,629
And then when we came back, we crashed the wedding reception. And,

38
00:02:53,710 –> 00:02:55,490
and these are next door neighbors. These are kids that

39
00:02:55,530 –> 00:02:58,449
grew up here. So it was a good time. Uh,

40
00:02:58,469 –> 00:03:02,159
we had a great time. And so, you know, Sunday

41
00:03:02,319 –> 00:03:04,759
had a bunch of stuff to do. And by the

42
00:03:04,800 –> 00:03:08,060
time it got down to about 7 PM, I was done.

43
00:03:09,039 –> 00:03:11,069
I finally made it home and I was just Rest

44
00:03:11,090 –> 00:03:16,439
of the night. Nope. Sorry. Not doing anything. And Jeff,

45
00:03:16,879 –> 00:03:18,379
Jeff DM me and said he wasn’t gonna do a show.

46
00:03:18,400 –> 00:03:20,599
And I’m like, Oh, I made up my mind. So

47
00:03:22,039 –> 00:03:27,460
I didn’t worry too much about it. Say what? So yeah,

48
00:03:27,879 –> 00:03:30,969
it’s been one of those days. But anyways, welcome to

49
00:03:31,009 –> 00:03:34,830
the show. We’re having a good time. If you missed

50
00:03:35,189 –> 00:03:37,990
Jeff’s show. Oh my gosh, that was great. He’s doing

51
00:03:38,050 –> 00:03:40,900
stories and you have to guess which one’s true. And

52
00:03:40,939 –> 00:03:45,300
which ones are true, which ones false. Great, great concept

53
00:03:45,659 –> 00:03:49,020
for a podcast. That’s all blast. Jeff, you’re doing a

54
00:03:49,020 –> 00:03:51,719
great job doing that stuff, man. So this is the

55
00:03:51,819 –> 00:03:55,020
opposite of that. This is Sunday night with Alan Ray,

56
00:03:55,379 –> 00:03:59,340
the show where we take a look around this giant

57
00:03:59,900 –> 00:04:05,719
blue ghetto rock. They were hurtling through space at unimaginable speeds.

58
00:04:06,159 –> 00:04:08,500
And we ask them, The eternal question.

59
00:04:08,620 –> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: What in the wide, wide world of sports is going

60
00:04:11,800 –> 00:04:12,159
on here?

61
00:04:13,300 –> 00:04:19,540
Speaker 1: I don’t know. I really don’t know. I try to know.

62
00:04:20,740 –> 00:04:24,379
I try to figure it out. I’m not going to

63
00:04:24,420 –> 00:04:28,420
sit here and act like some kind of authority. Mongo

64
00:04:28,620 –> 00:04:33,699
only pawn in game of life. That’s right, Mongo. I’m

65
00:04:33,740 –> 00:04:36,699
with you, buddy. I’m just a pawn. In the game

66
00:04:36,740 –> 00:04:42,750
of life, I ask questions. So unless you live under

67
00:04:42,790 –> 00:04:46,750
a rock, and I know some people probably do, most

68
00:04:46,790 –> 00:04:50,029
people who listen to this show do not. Most people

69
00:04:50,050 –> 00:04:52,430
who listen to this show are actually kind of well-tuned

70
00:04:52,509 –> 00:04:54,870
on what’s going on. But in case you missed it,

71
00:04:54,889 –> 00:04:59,720
in case you do live under a rock, the internets,

72
00:04:59,879 –> 00:05:03,980
the interwebs, came very close to being in a lot

73
00:05:04,139 –> 00:05:09,920
of danger. this week. In fact, they’re calling it black October.

74
00:05:11,459 –> 00:05:15,500
And I’m sure people like Jeff and already, you know,

75
00:05:15,579 –> 00:05:19,930
can explain this better to me. Like I’m, you know,

76
00:05:19,949 –> 00:05:21,750
a head trauma at five year old or something like that.

77
00:05:22,509 –> 00:05:25,829
But from what I understand, there was a critical flaw

78
00:05:26,490 –> 00:05:31,689
in what they call PHP. It’s kind of a programming language. Oh,

79
00:05:31,689 –> 00:05:35,269
there’s already. it’s kind of a programming language that it’s

80
00:05:35,310 –> 00:05:38,839
kind of a Linux type thing that a lot of

81
00:05:38,939 –> 00:05:44,879
your cybersecurity is based on. And from what I understand,

82
00:05:44,920 –> 00:05:52,800
what I’ve researched on this up until now, they haven’t

83
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:57,459
really cared to do a lot of protecting with the

84
00:05:57,540 –> 00:06:02,600
PHP programming because it’s very complex. It’s very, um, very

85
00:06:02,680 –> 00:06:07,819
difficult and for a human being to actually figure it

86
00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:14,360
out and exploit it would be very, very unlikely. However,

87
00:06:16,060 –> 00:06:20,540
this is 2026 and apparently this was attacked by an AI.

88
00:06:21,399 –> 00:06:23,339
Some people are saying it might be an AI swarm,

89
00:06:24,360 –> 00:06:27,920
but it was attacked by artificial intelligence programming and exploited

90
00:06:27,939 –> 00:06:32,089
and And we could have had a lot of major problems,

91
00:06:32,230 –> 00:06:41,220
banking problems, defense problems. Your personal information can probably is compromised.

92
00:06:41,459 –> 00:06:45,620
You know, here’s the thing. You should assume on the

93
00:06:45,660 –> 00:06:49,360
internet that your information is compromised. Always assume that your

94
00:06:49,379 –> 00:06:54,670
information is compromised. And always take the extra steps for

95
00:06:55,930 –> 00:06:58,850
you know, two level verification, stuff like that. Always take

96
00:06:58,870 –> 00:07:03,750
those extra steps because just assume that your information has

97
00:07:03,810 –> 00:07:07,410
been compromised, will be compromised again. And with artificial intelligence

98
00:07:07,449 –> 00:07:08,990
and the way they’re doing things now, it’s probably going

99
00:07:09,009 –> 00:07:15,480
to be compromised a lot. So according to CNBC, how

100
00:07:15,519 –> 00:07:18,000
much can we trust them? Probably not a lot, but anyways,

101
00:07:18,040 –> 00:07:20,000
we’ll use them as a reference because it’s a pretty

102
00:07:20,019 –> 00:07:24,449
good story. According to CNBC, cybersecurity teams around the globe

103
00:07:24,470 –> 00:07:27,610
are rushing to patch PHP programming language flaws this week.

104
00:07:28,430 –> 00:07:31,970
In an artificial intelligence safety moment that’s being described as

105
00:07:32,069 –> 00:07:37,319
Black October, nearly 70% of all websites use PHP, according

106
00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:41,660
to some estimates. This is a quote from John Milinovich,

107
00:07:42,100 –> 00:07:46,160
Senior Director of Product Management at Figma. In the last

108
00:07:46,240 –> 00:07:49,040
two days, there have been several dozen cyber attacks which,

109
00:07:49,199 –> 00:07:51,779
in isolation, have Would each have been the worst to

110
00:07:51,819 –> 00:07:57,199
happen in an entire calendar year? Every sector from government

111
00:07:57,240 –> 00:08:00,160
to education to big tech and banks is being massively

112
00:08:00,199 –> 00:08:06,649
affected and people are starting to freak out. And already

113
00:08:07,490 –> 00:08:10,209
says in chat, PHP is what sits between the user

114
00:08:10,629 –> 00:08:13,629
and a functioning database for a website. It’s basically the

115
00:08:13,670 –> 00:08:17,089
backbone of a website. That’s what I’ve read too. That

116
00:08:17,250 –> 00:08:21,319
confirms exactly what I have gone over with all this stuff.

117
00:08:21,879 –> 00:08:27,079
It’s a, it’s, it’s pretty important guys. Oh, PJ’s in

118
00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:29,879
the chat. PJ welcome. If you’re not in chat, get

119
00:08:29,920 –> 00:08:32,519
in chat. We’re, we’re live on the X jump in there.

120
00:08:32,559 –> 00:08:36,129
Say hi to me. Try to flub up the, the host.

121
00:08:36,230 –> 00:08:38,389
Not that I’m going to not flow up anyways. Am

122
00:08:38,429 –> 00:08:41,409
I prepared for the show? Oh no, no, no, no, no,

123
00:08:41,509 –> 00:08:44,960
not at all. But anyways, It’s been kind of a

124
00:08:45,519 –> 00:08:50,480
very tense week to carry on. Researchers at Google’s Wiz

125
00:08:50,559 –> 00:08:54,100
and AI firm Calif discovered major vulnerabilities in PHP in

126
00:08:54,220 –> 00:08:58,179
August by using advanced AI models from OpenAI and Google.

127
00:08:58,200 –> 00:09:02,240
So in other words, they found this PHP problem using

128
00:09:02,299 –> 00:09:06,000
artificial intelligence. But by Tuesday, the warnings had spread online,

129
00:09:06,120 –> 00:09:09,100
prompting government and businesses around the globe to scramble to

130
00:09:09,139 –> 00:09:12,990
contain the fallout. Major AI companies have been warning about

131
00:09:13,009 –> 00:09:19,529
the technology’s advancing cybersecurity capabilities since April when Anthropic announced

132
00:09:19,590 –> 00:09:23,740
a limited rollout of its powerful model called Mythos. Concerns

133
00:09:23,820 –> 00:09:26,500
mounted in July when OpenAI disclosed that two of its

134
00:09:26,559 –> 00:09:30,259
models escaped containment, accessed the open internet, and breached a

135
00:09:30,299 –> 00:09:35,340
company called Hugging Face. Experts believe PHP security flaws serve

136
00:09:35,399 –> 00:09:39,330
as the latest example of what’s to come. Now, I’m

137
00:09:39,370 –> 00:09:41,309
not going to go any farther with all the, the,

138
00:09:41,490 –> 00:09:49,309
you know, well, for all practical purposes, Hey, that’s what

139
00:09:49,350 –> 00:09:51,779
we specialize here on Sunday night with Alan Ray guys

140
00:09:51,980 –> 00:09:54,700
is doom. And this is about as doomy as it gets.

141
00:09:58,039 –> 00:10:01,820
Let’s just put this in context. Okay. I’m a few

142
00:10:01,860 –> 00:10:09,080
years away from retirement. My retirement funds, my 401, well,

143
00:10:09,139 –> 00:10:13,159
it’s like a B now, I guess. All of my funds,

144
00:10:13,259 –> 00:10:19,220
all of my retirement sits in investments in banks. Right? Well,

145
00:10:21,120 –> 00:10:26,990
this type of AI attack could effectively wipe out everything

146
00:10:27,049 –> 00:10:32,950
I’ve spent my entire life saving. It could wreak havoc

147
00:10:33,269 –> 00:10:35,799
on a lot of things. Like you heard me just say,

148
00:10:35,940 –> 00:10:44,889
I mean, everything from our national defense, Amazon, You know,

149
00:10:44,929 –> 00:10:47,309
you order something, it ends up going somewhere else. I mean,

150
00:10:47,950 –> 00:10:50,629
people who are doing this, you know, the artificial intelligence

151
00:10:50,850 –> 00:10:56,049
tapping into this, it could be anybody from some snot-nosed

152
00:10:56,129 –> 00:11:00,090
rich kid who got his own little program to China

153
00:11:01,009 –> 00:11:06,649
or North Korea or any of our enemies. Pick one.

154
00:11:06,769 –> 00:11:16,899
Pick one. Iran. Iran. we’ve just leveled up on hacking.

155
00:11:17,379 –> 00:11:24,120
We’ve just leveled up to an unimaginable level for, for

156
00:11:24,419 –> 00:11:30,350
the possibility of everything you have being stripped away of

157
00:11:30,379 –> 00:11:37,870
one of the biggest bank heists in history, multiple banks. Now,

158
00:11:38,409 –> 00:11:39,929
And I’ve heard this, like I said, I did kind

159
00:11:39,950 –> 00:11:41,389
of a deep dive on this. I went down the

160
00:11:41,429 –> 00:11:44,210
rabbit hole. Yes, I was doom scrolling on YouTube. Deal

161
00:11:44,250 –> 00:11:46,970
with it. And I heard a couple of people talking

162
00:11:47,009 –> 00:11:51,860
about that, you know, bigger banks will probably be safer

163
00:11:51,919 –> 00:11:57,419
because they have the IT department. They have the eggheads

164
00:11:57,500 –> 00:12:01,740
that can come in there and actually secure their programming.

165
00:12:04,450 –> 00:12:07,529
And they pointed out, and it’s a pretty good point,

166
00:12:07,570 –> 00:12:12,279
I think. that your tiny little, I don’t know, banks,

167
00:12:13,460 –> 00:12:19,799
savings and loan, your little community credit unions, stuff like that,

168
00:12:20,419 –> 00:12:25,870
are the highest risk. Because let’s face it, folks, if

169
00:12:27,110 –> 00:12:32,509
all your money is in Joe’s Bar and Grill Credit Union,

170
00:12:32,529 –> 00:12:35,889
they’re not going to be able to afford the IT

171
00:12:35,929 –> 00:12:39,929
development that JP Morgan or chase or a bank like

172
00:12:39,950 –> 00:12:45,809
that has, this is kind of the first shots fired

173
00:12:45,870 –> 00:12:50,549
in a cyber war that I don’t think is going

174
00:12:50,570 –> 00:12:54,659
to turn out all that great. Now that said, that said,

175
00:12:54,720 –> 00:12:58,019
let’s carry on with this. Um, the man who probably

176
00:12:58,100 –> 00:13:02,620
saved the internet according to the BBC, um, and let’s

177
00:13:02,659 –> 00:13:06,090
read this as for more than 20 years. Andres Suri

178
00:13:06,269 –> 00:13:08,690
has been quietly helping to keep websites around the world

179
00:13:08,730 –> 00:13:11,879
running securely, largely in the spare time. Now, folks, let

180
00:13:11,889 –> 00:13:16,179
me take a break right here. The more time goes on,

181
00:13:16,200 –> 00:13:19,519
the bigger fan of Linux I get and the bigger

182
00:13:19,740 –> 00:13:22,679
critic of Microsoft I get to be. I have a

183
00:13:22,700 –> 00:13:24,639
Microsoft computer I’m using right now. It’s right in front

184
00:13:24,659 –> 00:13:26,509
of me. It’s a good computer. It’s not bad. It

185
00:13:26,549 –> 00:13:29,750
does what I need it to do. But my Linux

186
00:13:29,789 –> 00:13:33,190
computer seems to do things, I don’t know, more efficiently, better.

187
00:13:33,769 –> 00:13:36,769
It just feels more like a human is behind the

188
00:13:36,789 –> 00:13:41,440
computer and not something artificial. Microsoft, for many years, I

189
00:13:41,460 –> 00:13:43,399
couldn’t put my finger on it, but when they actually

190
00:13:43,440 –> 00:13:46,379
came out with AI and the terminology, I was like,

191
00:13:46,399 –> 00:13:49,960
you know, that’s what it feels like. These computers don’t

192
00:13:50,100 –> 00:13:54,419
feel like there’s an actual person behind it. And I

193
00:13:54,500 –> 00:13:57,870
kind of like the idea of Linux feeling kind of

194
00:13:57,889 –> 00:14:02,340
like you know that there’s some… There’s some nerd like

195
00:14:02,860 –> 00:14:07,990
Andres Suri programming stuff and sending out patches. That’s what

196
00:14:08,029 –> 00:14:14,169
it feels like. So anyways, Andres, or I think that’s

197
00:14:14,210 –> 00:14:18,549
his name, Andres, Andres, it’s kind of hard, some foreigner dude.

198
00:14:18,610 –> 00:14:21,220
He voluntarily maintains software for two of the most popular

199
00:14:21,269 –> 00:14:23,960
versions of Linux, a free operating system similar to Windows,

200
00:14:24,279 –> 00:14:27,899
which are often used on web servers. Typically, this involves

201
00:14:27,940 –> 00:14:31,100
keeping them up to date with the latest version of PHP,

202
00:14:31,460 –> 00:14:34,360
a programming language which underpins a significant number of the

203
00:14:34,379 –> 00:14:38,639
world’s websites. This week, however, he became very busy indeed.

204
00:14:41,139 –> 00:14:44,090
The help of AI, two major cybersecurity flaws were identified

205
00:14:44,129 –> 00:14:47,970
in the programming language leading the PHP Foundation to release fixes.

206
00:14:48,750 –> 00:14:52,190
But average folk may struggle to understand how to install

207
00:14:52,230 –> 00:14:55,350
these onto their systems. So Suri, for free, mind you,

208
00:14:55,409 –> 00:14:59,309
for free, It’s open source. This is why I love

209
00:14:59,370 –> 00:15:03,129
open source. Dropped everything to convert the fixes into packages,

210
00:15:03,490 –> 00:15:06,950
which can be easily installed without expertise. The feeling is

211
00:15:07,009 –> 00:15:08,950
like I am responsible for all these people and I

212
00:15:09,029 –> 00:15:12,250
can’t fail. I can’t fail them, he told BBC News.

213
00:15:13,870 –> 00:15:18,129
So the vulnerabilities in PHP sparked an international scramble to

214
00:15:18,190 –> 00:15:21,289
install security updates amid fears that cyber criminals could exploit

215
00:15:21,320 –> 00:15:24,799
the gaps. Suri is one of a small number of

216
00:15:24,820 –> 00:15:28,120
developers whose work helps make those updates available. And while

217
00:15:28,200 –> 00:15:30,899
keeping the Internet secure might sound like a full-time occupation,

218
00:15:30,940 –> 00:15:34,240
it isn’t actually his day job. He works as the

219
00:15:34,279 –> 00:15:38,259
director of DNS Engineering at Internet Systems Consortium, a U.S.

220
00:15:38,299 –> 00:15:41,820
nonprofit organization. But in his spare time, he has spent

221
00:15:41,860 –> 00:15:45,559
more than two decades voluntarily maintaining PHP software packages for

222
00:15:45,580 –> 00:15:50,399
the Linux version Debian and Ubuntu. He takes a source

223
00:15:50,450 –> 00:15:53,629
code released by the PHP project and turns it into packages,

224
00:15:53,769 –> 00:15:58,009
which website operators can easily install on their servers. Now on,

225
00:15:58,730 –> 00:16:02,909
on Linux, like on Linux Mint, basically it asks you, Hey,

226
00:16:03,049 –> 00:16:11,190
got some stuff here. Do you want us to upload that?

227
00:16:12,580 –> 00:16:14,509
Do you want us to do this? And you do.

228
00:16:16,580 –> 00:16:20,470
And it just kind of, does the upload. You do

229
00:16:20,500 –> 00:16:22,929
the reboot. Now there is a way to do it manually,

230
00:16:23,070 –> 00:16:26,129
which I like to do it. Pseudo apt update, pseudo

231
00:16:26,210 –> 00:16:33,830
apt upgrade. So yeah, it’s kind of neat. We’re rocking

232
00:16:33,870 –> 00:16:39,289
on this one. So this guy pretty much hopefully saved

233
00:16:39,309 –> 00:16:43,509
the internet. Hopefully match things up. Oh, what did I

234
00:16:43,549 –> 00:16:52,179
miss already? Yeah. But anyways, that’s kind of scary. It’s

235
00:16:52,230 –> 00:16:55,730
kind of scary because we’re living in a time, and

236
00:16:55,769 –> 00:16:58,690
don’t get me wrong, AI is a wonderful tool. I

237
00:16:58,870 –> 00:17:02,100
use artificial intelligence. I use AI programs quite a bit

238
00:17:02,620 –> 00:17:09,480
at work, at home. But it can also be very scary. Ah,

239
00:17:09,539 –> 00:17:13,480
there we go. Yes, that meme right there. That’s the

240
00:17:13,660 –> 00:17:16,309
exact one I was thinking of, Jeff. It is the

241
00:17:16,369 –> 00:17:19,829
exact one I was thinking of. It’s that meme where

242
00:17:19,869 –> 00:17:22,390
it’s got the big, huge machine and there’s just this

243
00:17:22,430 –> 00:17:24,799
little bitty prop at the very bottom. And in the

244
00:17:24,839 –> 00:17:29,039
big machine, it says all modern digital infrastructure. And the very,

245
00:17:29,119 –> 00:17:31,900
very bottom, it’s just a little stick holding it up. And,

246
00:17:32,480 –> 00:17:36,119
you know, this Suri guy, when he retires, who’s going

247
00:17:36,140 –> 00:17:38,839
to take over that stick? That’s the stick that’s propping

248
00:17:38,859 –> 00:17:43,109
up the entire Internet. We found that meme. Thank you, Jeff.

249
00:17:46,390 –> 00:17:50,230
That’s exactly what it is, too. He did the meme.

250
00:17:50,650 –> 00:17:53,920
He’s the guy that keeps the stick from falling. And

251
00:17:53,960 –> 00:17:56,539
when he retires, what are we going to do, guys?

252
00:18:00,220 –> 00:18:07,029
It’s scary. It is scary. Um, Oh, why did I

253
00:18:07,049 –> 00:18:16,990
put this here? Oh yeah. Yeah, we know this 70%

254
00:18:16,990 –> 00:18:23,349
of all websites. God, that’s just, yeah. All right. Um,

255
00:18:25,950 –> 00:18:29,329
so there you have it. What’s the fix? What do

256
00:18:29,349 –> 00:18:36,450
we do about something like this? Personally, personally, I trust

257
00:18:36,509 –> 00:18:39,650
the eggheads to a certain extent to patch stuff, to

258
00:18:39,670 –> 00:18:43,950
make sure things don’t happen. Trust but verify. At the

259
00:18:43,990 –> 00:18:52,900
same level, it would behoove you to have, I don’t know,

260
00:18:53,180 –> 00:18:58,099
something to barter with. Have things at your disposal that

261
00:18:58,140 –> 00:19:08,200
you could possibly trade with neighbors. I don’t know. I mean,

262
00:19:08,220 –> 00:19:10,849
think about what would happen if the internet became so

263
00:19:10,950 –> 00:19:18,150
toxic with rogue AI programs, with bad AI programs, became

264
00:19:18,529 –> 00:19:25,150
so toxic. Or already was that you that posted that?

265
00:19:25,740 –> 00:19:27,789
I hope it was what would happen if the, if

266
00:19:27,809 –> 00:19:30,569
the internet became so toxic that you couldn’t use it,

267
00:19:30,910 –> 00:19:36,430
you just had to stop using it. That banks, the

268
00:19:36,549 –> 00:19:41,849
financial institutions had to create something else in order to,

269
00:19:43,190 –> 00:19:46,529
you know, do what needed to be done with your retirement,

270
00:19:46,549 –> 00:19:49,849
with your bank account, with your home loan, with whatever.

271
00:19:52,099 –> 00:19:57,640
What happens then? These are questions I think we really

272
00:19:57,700 –> 00:20:04,079
need to bring up to government officials. We watched, I

273
00:20:04,099 –> 00:20:05,420
don’t know if you did or not, but I was

274
00:20:05,460 –> 00:20:11,589
nerdy enough to watch Congress when they held a hearing

275
00:20:11,809 –> 00:20:21,299
about cryptocurrency, it was a joke. It was, it was horrible.

276
00:20:22,720 –> 00:20:27,329
They’re talking to these Congress men, Congress, women, Congress critters

277
00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:36,730
about crypto. And they didn’t have a clue. Most of

278
00:20:36,789 –> 00:20:41,769
them didn’t have an inkling of a clue of what

279
00:20:41,789 –> 00:20:49,549
they were talking about. I sort of understand cryptocurrency. I’m

280
00:20:49,589 –> 00:20:51,349
not going to act like I do understand it because

281
00:20:52,930 –> 00:20:55,450
it blows my mind that, you know, it’s like, what

282
00:20:55,470 –> 00:20:57,420
is it based on? You know, and people tell me

283
00:20:57,440 –> 00:20:59,619
and I look at them like they got horns growing

284
00:20:59,680 –> 00:21:03,099
out of their head. But, you know, it’s kind of

285
00:21:03,119 –> 00:21:04,880
one of the things you just accepted. Okay, well, if

286
00:21:04,920 –> 00:21:08,349
that’s what it is, that’s what it is. Um, but

287
00:21:08,369 –> 00:21:13,630
they’re talking to these, these, these senators, these representatives, and

288
00:21:13,670 –> 00:21:16,140
some of them are, you know, 150 years old, 300

289
00:21:16,140 –> 00:21:18,319
years old. They’re looking at them and they, and you

290
00:21:18,339 –> 00:21:21,140
could tell in there, the blank stares they have in

291
00:21:21,180 –> 00:21:25,000
their eyes that they, they just, they’re clueless about it.

292
00:21:27,180 –> 00:21:29,920
And I don’t know what the answer is. I know

293
00:21:29,940 –> 00:21:34,099
right now in, in the halls of Washington, D.C., You

294
00:21:34,119 –> 00:21:36,740
have one group of people that, of course, wants the

295
00:21:36,839 –> 00:21:41,079
government to control everything about artificial intelligence. You know what

296
00:21:41,099 –> 00:21:44,779
that means, right? That means it’s going to get reprogrammed

297
00:21:44,880 –> 00:21:48,299
so it leans left. So it doesn’t actually, you know,

298
00:21:49,900 –> 00:21:52,720
even come close to telling the truth. And artificial intelligence

299
00:21:52,759 –> 00:21:55,440
can lie. They will lie. It kind of has its

300
00:21:55,529 –> 00:21:58,500
mind of its own lately. But you know, I’m sure

301
00:21:58,559 –> 00:22:00,779
that it will also be fed with a lot of

302
00:22:00,900 –> 00:22:02,400
things that are made up a lot of things that

303
00:22:02,420 –> 00:22:06,880
just aren’t correct. And, and to sway, um, the general public,

304
00:22:06,960 –> 00:22:10,859
the general thinking to leftism. And then you got other

305
00:22:10,900 –> 00:22:13,619
people that would just like it left completely unchecked the wild,

306
00:22:13,660 –> 00:22:16,380
wild West, let it go. I don’t know how wise

307
00:22:16,420 –> 00:22:19,299
that is either. We’re seeing how wise that might not be.

308
00:22:19,380 –> 00:22:26,269
Now let’s ask this question too. Um, finding this PHP thing.

309
00:22:26,289 –> 00:22:30,490
They knew about the vulnerability back in August. Is this

310
00:22:30,529 –> 00:22:37,470
something that somebody is using to make it, to make us, we,

311
00:22:37,509 –> 00:22:41,079
the people want strict regulations on there? Cause that’s what

312
00:22:41,119 –> 00:22:43,359
it feels like. It kind of feels like this, the

313
00:22:43,420 –> 00:22:48,180
timing on this is a little too impeccable where they’ve

314
00:22:48,200 –> 00:22:50,880
been talking about government regulations on AI. And then all

315
00:22:50,920 –> 00:22:53,440
of a sudden they came out with this. And it

316
00:22:53,480 –> 00:22:56,319
becomes a very, very scary Halloween story about how the

317
00:22:56,359 –> 00:23:02,319
interwebs almost got completely ruined. Is it propaganda? It’s hard

318
00:23:02,339 –> 00:23:06,640
to tell these days. It really is hard to tell.

319
00:23:08,019 –> 00:23:14,450
All right, moving on. You know, for years, for decades,

320
00:23:15,390 –> 00:23:20,990
for a long, long, long time, I have suspected, and

321
00:23:21,029 –> 00:23:23,410
I have mentioned this a few times on this show,

322
00:23:23,710 –> 00:23:28,680
I have suspected that the intelligence community runs this country

323
00:23:28,720 –> 00:23:33,880
and has been running this country since shortly after World

324
00:23:33,900 –> 00:23:43,069
War II. The CIA, the NSA, the FBI, all of

325
00:23:43,089 –> 00:23:48,339
those resources, it seems like And the more we go,

326
00:23:48,380 –> 00:23:51,380
the more we find out about how things are run,

327
00:23:52,140 –> 00:23:55,880
the more it seems like these three-letter agencies are actually

328
00:23:55,920 –> 00:24:01,349
the people running this country. And your elected officials are

329
00:24:01,410 –> 00:24:06,410
basically just their puppets. And when they try to fight

330
00:24:06,589 –> 00:24:10,210
the intelligence community, they get wiped out. Because the intelligence

331
00:24:10,250 –> 00:24:12,410
community can dig up anything on anybody. Oh, they can

332
00:24:12,450 –> 00:24:14,509
also lie about it, too, and you’re just supposed to

333
00:24:14,529 –> 00:24:20,980
believe it. Maybe it’s more widespread than that. Maybe they’re

334
00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:24,509
trying to do this globally. And we’ll get to some

335
00:24:24,529 –> 00:24:28,210
of the global chaos stuff later on, but let’s just

336
00:24:28,549 –> 00:24:30,369
go over this quick story in the next five minutes

337
00:24:30,390 –> 00:24:34,069
before we take a break. It’s according to CBS News.

338
00:24:35,769 –> 00:24:39,049
A former Mexican state attorney general could face trial for

339
00:24:39,170 –> 00:24:44,119
treason over accusations of that he illegally launched a joint

340
00:24:44,240 –> 00:24:47,299
operation with the CIA without telling the federal government. Now,

341
00:24:47,319 –> 00:24:52,380
this is the Mexican federal government. The operation to dismantle

342
00:24:52,420 –> 00:24:55,829
a drug lab in the state of Chihuahua, or Chihuahua

343
00:24:55,890 –> 00:24:59,329
if you’re Les Nesman, in northern Mexico in April drew

344
00:24:59,369 –> 00:25:03,309
attention after two CIA agents and two state officials died

345
00:25:03,349 –> 00:25:07,400
in a car accident on their way back. Hmm. Hmm.

346
00:25:07,420 –> 00:25:07,490
Speaker 3: Hmm.

347
00:25:10,190 –> 00:25:12,309
Speaker 1: Hold that thought for a second. We’ll keep going here.

348
00:25:13,269 –> 00:25:18,369
That raised questions about the Trump administration’s actions on Mexican soil. Oh, yeah.

349
00:25:18,410 –> 00:25:21,490
Let’s look back at Trump. Must be a Trump thing.

350
00:25:22,390 –> 00:25:26,690
And outraged President Claudia Scheinbaum, who has made a strong

351
00:25:26,730 –> 00:25:32,730
defense of national sovereignty and a centerpiece of her administration. Yeah, already. Exactly.

352
00:25:32,769 –> 00:25:37,710
That’s what I was thinking, too. Quote, car accident. Unquote. Yeah.

353
00:25:39,980 –> 00:25:44,299
This former state attorney general was arrested on October 17th

354
00:25:44,359 –> 00:25:47,829
on state charges of illegal exercise of public office, which

355
00:25:47,869 –> 00:25:50,410
a judge ruled Thursday can go to trial. Federal officials

356
00:25:50,549 –> 00:25:52,849
later added the treason charge, and a federal judge will

357
00:25:52,869 –> 00:25:55,890
decide Saturday whether to allow the indictment. I don’t know

358
00:25:55,910 –> 00:25:59,130
if he did or not because this was, I don’t know. Anyways,

359
00:25:59,329 –> 00:26:02,509
earlier this year, a statement from Mexico’s Ministry of Security

360
00:26:02,529 –> 00:26:06,690
said one U.S. agent entered Mexico as a visitor while

361
00:26:06,730 –> 00:26:10,450
the other entered with a diplomatic passport. None had formal

362
00:26:10,509 –> 00:26:14,869
accreditation to participate in operational activities in the national territory,

363
00:26:14,950 –> 00:26:19,380
the security minister said. Mexico has long worked with the U.S.

364
00:26:19,519 –> 00:26:24,319
in its fight against organized crime, but that’s caused fears

365
00:26:24,480 –> 00:26:28,299
at times that American agencies do not respect the country’s sovereignty.

366
00:26:28,319 –> 00:26:30,380
In other words, the CIA is going over there, tromping

367
00:26:30,400 –> 00:26:35,380
all over the place. Scheinbaum and her predecessor, Andres Manuel

368
00:26:35,460 –> 00:26:39,460
Lopez Obrador, have made legal charges that aim to stop

369
00:26:39,500 –> 00:26:44,240
foreign agencies from operating and go without the federal government’s consent. Okay. Yeah.

370
00:26:44,640 –> 00:26:49,259
It’s a sovereign government, sovereign country. That’s logical. That’s reasonable

371
00:26:49,480 –> 00:27:01,569
to want that. So apparently they were dismantling a drug

372
00:27:01,609 –> 00:27:06,549
lab in the municipality of Morelos in the mountains of

373
00:27:06,589 –> 00:27:10,680
that state. That’s what these CIA agents were doing and

374
00:27:10,720 –> 00:27:12,700
these other two people. And on the way back, the

375
00:27:12,740 –> 00:27:15,539
vehicle and a convoy veered off the road and fell

376
00:27:15,579 –> 00:27:19,220
into a ravine. Two state agents and two Americans were killed.

377
00:27:20,910 –> 00:27:23,930
So that’s what was going on. The CIA was over

378
00:27:24,009 –> 00:27:30,769
there taking apart a drug operation. Now, was the accident legit?

379
00:27:31,289 –> 00:27:35,789
I don’t know. Sounds kind of shady. Because, you know,

380
00:27:37,049 –> 00:27:39,549
let’s put it this way. Um, the Mexican drug Lords

381
00:27:39,569 –> 00:27:44,589
have people in every facet of the Mexican government, every facet.

382
00:27:47,769 –> 00:27:54,779
So no, Jeff is not a trick story. So, you know,

383
00:27:54,799 –> 00:27:58,920
the CIA has their grubby little fingers in way more

384
00:27:59,460 –> 00:28:01,740
than I can ever assume. And trust me, folks, I

385
00:28:01,759 –> 00:28:05,380
can assume a lot. I really can. So none of

386
00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:12,099
this should really surprise you. Should they have been over

387
00:28:12,279 –> 00:28:15,299
in a sovereign nation without telling the government of that nation?

388
00:28:15,319 –> 00:28:19,039
I think that would have risked their lives. But I

389
00:28:19,079 –> 00:28:21,069
think we do that quite a bit. I think we

390
00:28:21,109 –> 00:28:23,450
do that quite a bit in a whole bunch of nations,

391
00:28:23,509 –> 00:28:26,690
to tell you the truth. And so, I don’t know.

392
00:28:28,069 –> 00:28:32,829
I have questions about that one, too. Was the accident legit?

393
00:28:33,289 –> 00:28:35,950
I don’t know. But that’s what’s going on with your

394
00:28:35,990 –> 00:28:42,000
intelligence agencies. They’re in other countries. Now, do I disagree

395
00:28:42,019 –> 00:28:45,619
about them taking apart a drug operation in Mexico? No, no,

396
00:28:45,660 –> 00:28:50,009
I don’t really. Maybe what should have happened is we

397
00:28:50,029 –> 00:28:54,450
just do what we do like in, I don’t know, Iran, Iraq,

398
00:28:54,809 –> 00:28:59,269
places like that, Yemen. I just contact the president and say, Hey,

399
00:28:59,380 –> 00:29:02,240
there’s this mountain and there’s this drug place up there.

400
00:29:02,279 –> 00:29:06,039
And there’s all these drug Lord people up there. And well,

401
00:29:06,160 –> 00:29:08,859
what’s going to happen is we’re about to drop a

402
00:29:08,980 –> 00:29:11,630
Moab on this mountain, take care of the whole thing. Oh,

403
00:29:11,619 –> 00:29:13,470
and by the way, you’re just going to not an

404
00:29:13,509 –> 00:29:16,990
approval because if you don’t, well, we’re just going to,

405
00:29:17,130 –> 00:29:20,049
you know, make all the people rise up and take

406
00:29:20,089 –> 00:29:23,710
you over. That’s what we do in middle Eastern countries.

407
00:29:23,829 –> 00:29:28,069
Why not do it in Mexico? Do I agree with it? No,

408
00:29:28,170 –> 00:29:32,779
but I mean, we’re already doing it. All right. Wow.

409
00:29:32,880 –> 00:29:34,480
Bottom of the hour. When we come back, we’re going

410
00:29:34,500 –> 00:29:36,700
to talk about our neighbors down there in Ohio and

411
00:29:36,769 –> 00:29:40,529
truly do. They’ve had a rough week. Don’t go anywhere.

456
00:32:24,119 –> 00:32:27,500
Alan Ray. Yada, yada, yada. Hi. I’m glad you’re hanging

457
00:32:27,539 –> 00:32:33,500
out with me, man. Oh, wow. So the Bengals won, PJ. Great, man. Excellent.

458
00:32:33,920 –> 00:32:38,900
Lions won today. Lions won against the Packers. That’s kind

459
00:32:38,920 –> 00:32:44,799
of cool. The University of Michigan lost. Which, you know what,

460
00:32:45,920 –> 00:32:50,799
let’s add a little asterisk there. I didn’t think they

461
00:32:50,819 –> 00:32:55,380
would do as good as they did. It took Indiana

462
00:32:55,420 –> 00:33:01,529
taking them into overtime before Indiana won. So, yeah, not

463
00:33:01,549 –> 00:33:03,829
too bad. I mean, we got a new coach, new program.

464
00:33:04,490 –> 00:33:09,369
There are people already calling for this coach’s head. But, guys,

465
00:33:09,390 –> 00:33:11,430
give them a break. I mean, it’s a whole new program.

466
00:33:12,789 –> 00:33:17,079
Sports ball. Tis the season for sports ball. God bless

467
00:33:17,119 –> 00:33:23,309
sports ball. Anyway, welcome back. I’m so glad you could

468
00:33:23,349 –> 00:33:26,450
join me. We’ve had an exciting week here in my

469
00:33:26,509 –> 00:33:31,089
little burg in southeastern Michigan. Not far from me, just

470
00:33:31,819 –> 00:33:37,240
kind of southeast. There was a chemical leak Thursday. Thursday

471
00:33:37,279 –> 00:33:41,420
would have been the 22nd, right? 25? Yeah, Thursday. Thursday.

472
00:33:42,940 –> 00:33:44,339
I didn’t know anything about it until I woke up

473
00:33:45,299 –> 00:33:48,460
and I was, you know, doing my typical drinking coffee

474
00:33:48,480 –> 00:33:52,069
and doom scrolling. I was like, what in the heck

475
00:33:52,119 –> 00:33:56,930
is this? They were like evacuating people in certain areas

476
00:33:56,970 –> 00:34:01,309
of Detroit. USA Today, otherwise used to be known as

477
00:34:01,410 –> 00:34:04,220
USA Today. So dozens of people have been treated for

478
00:34:04,279 –> 00:34:06,960
symptoms since a tank in Toledo, Ohio began leaking a

479
00:34:07,000 –> 00:34:10,969
toxic chemical into the air. And authorities have begun allowing

480
00:34:11,030 –> 00:34:13,619
some residents to return to their homes as the situation improves,

481
00:34:13,679 –> 00:34:24,349
officials said October 22nd. A tank began leaking glycidal methacyrolate, methachyrolate, cyrolate, something.

482
00:34:25,150 –> 00:34:30,710
Poison the night of October 20th. So it got a

483
00:34:30,710 –> 00:34:35,320
little rowdy. This week was kind of crazy. And it

484
00:34:35,400 –> 00:34:38,800
prompted evacuation orders and shelter-in-place orders for hundreds of residents.

485
00:34:40,409 –> 00:34:43,130
And I can tell you right now, just from talking

486
00:34:43,170 –> 00:34:47,869
to friends of mine around the area, that there were

487
00:34:47,889 –> 00:34:51,230
some issues. They had eyes burning and they could smell

488
00:34:51,269 –> 00:34:54,030
this stuff. It was pretty nasty. Now, of course, it’s

489
00:34:54,050 –> 00:34:57,690
been lifted since then. But the stuff that was leaking,

490
00:34:57,750 –> 00:35:04,300
this glycidyl methacrylate. Yeah, glycidyl methacrylate. I think that’s what

491
00:35:04,340 –> 00:35:07,960
it is. It’s an industrial chemical used to make certain plastics, paints,

492
00:35:08,000 –> 00:35:11,420
and coatings perform better, according to a statement from MC

493
00:35:11,480 –> 00:35:17,250
Tank Transport Incorporated. Yes, see also East Palestine. Kind of

494
00:35:17,289 –> 00:35:20,230
sounds a lot like that, huh? The chemical is stored

495
00:35:20,269 –> 00:35:23,289
as a colorless liquid and gives off a fruity odor,

496
00:35:23,469 –> 00:35:27,730
according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The tank

497
00:35:27,750 –> 00:35:33,909
that stores the glycidyl methacrylate in Toledo has a 5,500-gallon capacity,

498
00:35:33,949 –> 00:35:37,119
the mayor said. MC Tank takes the chemical, stores it

499
00:35:37,179 –> 00:35:40,659
briefly at its Ohio terminal, and then transports it. Toledo

500
00:35:40,699 –> 00:35:45,050
Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Posadny said, according to

501
00:35:45,070 –> 00:35:50,110
the company’s website, it specializes in liquid bulk transport. So

502
00:35:50,150 –> 00:35:56,829
that was basically just southeast of here. It’s scary. It’s

503
00:35:56,889 –> 00:36:00,860
more scarier than scary. It’s close to home. I have

504
00:36:00,880 –> 00:36:05,320
a friend who actually, it inflamed their eyes. They already

505
00:36:05,380 –> 00:36:11,360
have some issues. And this, in fact, you know, really

506
00:36:11,409 –> 00:36:13,210
inflamed their eyes. They went to the ER with these

507
00:36:13,309 –> 00:36:15,750
eye issues. And what were she told? She was told

508
00:36:15,809 –> 00:36:18,929
it was pink eye. She’s like, no, it’s not pink eye.

509
00:36:18,969 –> 00:36:20,590
This is from those chemicals. No, no, no, no, it’s

510
00:36:20,630 –> 00:36:22,869
pink eye. They gave her a bunch of antibiotics and

511
00:36:22,889 –> 00:36:25,550
stuff like that. She says, it’s not pink eye. I

512
00:36:25,550 –> 00:36:29,469
didn’t get this until I started smelling this chemical. I

513
00:36:29,510 –> 00:36:34,690
find that interesting. I find that interesting. Is it another

514
00:36:34,809 –> 00:36:42,289
East Palestine? I don’t know. I don’t know. Toledo is

515
00:36:42,329 –> 00:36:45,409
a bit of a silly place. Anyway, I’m not too

516
00:36:45,449 –> 00:36:47,550
far from there. I’m not too far from there at all.

517
00:36:49,309 –> 00:36:55,110
What other things are there? Oh yeah. Here we are again.

518
00:36:56,269 –> 00:37:02,500
You know, mysteriously enough, since USA ID was shut down,

519
00:37:04,340 –> 00:37:08,559
left-wing extremists seem to be losing elections, losing ground like

520
00:37:08,679 –> 00:37:15,769
one right after another. The latest is Brazil. It could

521
00:37:15,809 –> 00:37:20,489
be the very next one to fall. Um, and of

522
00:37:20,550 –> 00:37:24,510
course all of the left-wing newspapers are losing their mind.

523
00:37:24,530 –> 00:37:26,090
I shouldn’t call them newspapers. There’s no such thing as

524
00:37:26,130 –> 00:37:31,739
a newspaper anymore. It’s online rags. Um, The Associated Propaganda,

525
00:37:32,199 –> 00:37:36,460
Associated Press, says, While Brazil’s presidential candidates have not made

526
00:37:36,539 –> 00:37:40,159
policy of the Amazon a major campaign topic, climate scientists

527
00:37:40,179 –> 00:37:43,659
and environmentalists say, The winner of Sunday’s race could determine

528
00:37:43,699 –> 00:37:46,119
whether and how soon the world’s largest rainforest could reach

529
00:37:46,159 –> 00:37:49,869
a tipping point. OK, that tipping point was supposed to

530
00:37:49,909 –> 00:37:53,130
have been reached when I was a senior in high school. Folks,

531
00:37:53,190 –> 00:37:56,719
I’m 61 years old. They have been regurgitating the oh,

532
00:37:56,739 –> 00:37:59,300
my God, the Amazon rainforest is going to disappear. It

533
00:37:59,340 –> 00:38:04,780
was supposed to disappear 40 years ago. Then again, 30

534
00:38:04,780 –> 00:38:08,500
years ago. Then again, 20 years ago. My daughter came

535
00:38:08,599 –> 00:38:12,079
home with a thing about the Amazon rainforest and how

536
00:38:12,119 –> 00:38:15,780
it was about to disappear. And it’s still there. All

537
00:38:15,800 –> 00:38:17,929
you have to do is bring up Google Earth and look.

538
00:38:19,809 –> 00:38:24,409
You know why? Because trees grow back. Michigan is a

539
00:38:24,449 –> 00:38:28,230
perfect example of that. You go up north and you

540
00:38:28,269 –> 00:38:33,610
drive around the Upper Peninsula and there’s trees everywhere. Trees everywhere.

541
00:38:35,889 –> 00:38:39,010
Most of them are second, third, fourth generation trees that

542
00:38:39,389 –> 00:38:42,719
have been planted and grow. And you’re right, Jeff, life

543
00:38:43,619 –> 00:38:48,559
finds a way. So AP is all freaked out because

544
00:38:48,719 –> 00:38:51,820
this new right wing guy that if he becomes president,

545
00:38:52,079 –> 00:38:55,880
oh my gosh. And it’s close. It looks like he’s

546
00:38:55,900 –> 00:39:03,530
going to get it. Ever since USAID was shut down,

547
00:39:06,099 –> 00:39:08,840
The left is losing traction. They’re losing ground, and they

548
00:39:08,900 –> 00:39:11,260
hate it. And this should tell you something, folks. This

549
00:39:11,320 –> 00:39:14,380
really should tell you something. And, you know, this week

550
00:39:14,619 –> 00:39:19,840
on X, Twitter, whatever you want to call it, Data Republican,

551
00:39:19,860 –> 00:39:23,760
if you don’t know who I’m talking about, she’s on there,

552
00:39:24,519 –> 00:39:27,380
is blowing the lid off of the color revolution that

553
00:39:27,400 –> 00:39:30,929
the left-wing extremists have been attempting to pretty much since

554
00:39:31,250 –> 00:39:38,369
Trump’s first term. The whole, quote, constitutional crisis, unquote, the whole, quote,

555
00:39:38,449 –> 00:39:42,590
save democracy, unquote, all these other buzzwords, all of the

556
00:39:42,750 –> 00:39:46,670
mostly peaceful protests that have been going on, all of these, quote,

557
00:39:46,869 –> 00:39:51,909
grassroots movements, unquote, that are just Funny enough, every one

558
00:39:51,929 –> 00:39:54,369
of them are socialist or communist. You know, they go

559
00:39:54,409 –> 00:39:57,449
farther and farther left. Well, it turns out that none

560
00:39:57,489 –> 00:40:01,460
of it is grassroots. It’s all organized. It’s all planned.

561
00:40:02,360 –> 00:40:08,519
It’s all coordinated. Folks, I have been saying this for

562
00:40:08,599 –> 00:40:15,340
a very, very long time. Remember Hardcore Patriot, my show

563
00:40:15,360 –> 00:40:18,750
that I had back when Obama was president? I was

564
00:40:18,789 –> 00:40:23,969
saying it back then. It’s nice to see that a

565
00:40:23,989 –> 00:40:27,690
Republican and cynical publicist pool the resources and expose this

566
00:40:28,070 –> 00:40:33,639
treason that’s going on in this country. The problem is, oh, also,

567
00:40:33,659 –> 00:40:36,900
if you missed their appearance on Monica Matthews, you need

568
00:40:36,920 –> 00:40:38,340
to go back and find it. They were really good.

569
00:40:38,559 –> 00:40:41,400
They were really good about this stuff. I know who

570
00:40:41,460 –> 00:40:43,920
Monica Matthews was. And I don’t know if you agree

571
00:40:43,960 –> 00:40:46,820
with that Republican or cynical. I don’t know if you

572
00:40:46,860 –> 00:40:48,610
agree with them or not. They’ve said some things that,

573
00:40:48,690 –> 00:40:51,539
you know, I find kind of hard to take. but

574
00:40:51,679 –> 00:40:55,989
they do the research folks and people are waking up. Now,

575
00:40:56,769 –> 00:41:00,550
is it enough people? I doubt it because see your,

576
00:41:00,670 –> 00:41:05,690
your mentally sedated six o’clock news watchers will probably never

577
00:41:05,750 –> 00:41:10,409
hear of this. It will be squelched in the media

578
00:41:10,610 –> 00:41:17,039
as hard as possible. If any or all of this

579
00:41:17,099 –> 00:41:20,280
gets out to the general public, It will only be

580
00:41:20,360 –> 00:41:24,780
because enough of us, you and I, discussed it around

581
00:41:24,800 –> 00:41:30,079
the water cool, around the lunch table, everywhere. Brought up

582
00:41:30,119 –> 00:41:33,260
the facts, brought up the truth and said, look, you

583
00:41:33,300 –> 00:41:39,760
people are being, you’re basically being coerced into the illegal

584
00:41:39,960 –> 00:41:45,210
overthrowing of the United States government. And it’s sad. That

585
00:41:45,250 –> 00:41:54,179
this isn’t actual news. It’s sad that CBS, NBC, CNBC, AP, NPR,

586
00:41:54,239 –> 00:41:56,300
it’s sad that all of those people are going to

587
00:41:56,380 –> 00:41:59,900
sit on this. They’re going to bury it. Well, it’s

588
00:41:59,940 –> 00:42:03,659
not just sad, but it also shows who’s involved. Or

589
00:42:03,699 –> 00:42:10,789
at least who’s cheering on this extremist left-wing movement. Look,

590
00:42:11,730 –> 00:42:16,360
all of this left-wing extremism is coming from somewhere. Nothing

591
00:42:16,420 –> 00:42:19,480
on this planet is grassroots anymore. I just don’t believe

592
00:42:19,500 –> 00:42:24,239
that anything’s grassroots. And it’s not just here in the

593
00:42:24,280 –> 00:42:26,340
good old U.S. of A. It’s everywhere. Look at Paris.

594
00:42:26,400 –> 00:42:31,010
Look at these mostly peaceful protests. They’re uprisings. They’re coups.

595
00:42:31,030 –> 00:42:36,070
They’re takeovers. They want their government to conform to their ways.

596
00:42:36,510 –> 00:42:39,630
And they’re spreading. This was just today before I came

597
00:42:39,849 –> 00:42:44,460
on here. Who is Euronews? It says, protests sweep across Europe.

598
00:42:44,599 –> 00:42:48,260
I don’t want your crap. It says, protests sweep across Europe.

599
00:42:48,880 –> 00:42:51,260
So now they’re going everywhere. They’re going to Madrid, Spain,

600
00:42:51,300 –> 00:42:56,239
places like that. They’re sweeping all over the place. And

601
00:42:56,280 –> 00:43:01,239
by the way, the press’s favorite trick is to show

602
00:43:01,320 –> 00:43:06,940
these young people doing things. You know, marching, screaming, sometimes

603
00:43:07,440 –> 00:43:13,170
chucking bombs. Molotov cocktails at windows fighting the police and

604
00:43:13,190 –> 00:43:15,969
they say, well, the students just want what’s best. The

605
00:43:16,010 –> 00:43:19,150
students just want to be free. The students just want,

606
00:43:19,170 –> 00:43:25,889
these aren’t students folks. These are not students. Some of

607
00:43:25,909 –> 00:43:30,289
them are, but a lot of them are activists, paid activists.

608
00:43:30,590 –> 00:43:33,780
When this crap was happening in Ann Arbor, I can

609
00:43:33,820 –> 00:43:37,920
tell you for a fact that that there were students

610
00:43:38,000 –> 00:43:39,880
up there, but the people who were causing the trouble

611
00:43:39,900 –> 00:43:44,500
were activists. And they got really, really, really, really mad

612
00:43:44,559 –> 00:43:50,500
because police and security fingered out the activists and they

613
00:43:50,539 –> 00:43:54,480
threw them off campus. Now, are there students? Yeah, there

614
00:43:54,500 –> 00:43:57,300
are students doing this stuff too. You know why? Because

615
00:43:57,340 –> 00:44:01,480
students are stupid. Students are pawns. They’re willing morons. They’re

616
00:44:01,619 –> 00:44:06,050
useful idiots. They’ve got just enough education to to make

617
00:44:06,090 –> 00:44:10,059
them dangerous, but they have no real world experience. So

618
00:44:10,079 –> 00:44:14,460
they’re morons. It’s like talking a baby into sticking a

619
00:44:14,500 –> 00:44:17,170
fork in an electric socket. They don’t know any better. Say,

620
00:44:19,360 –> 00:44:21,480
oh yeah, go ahead, stick your fork in the electric socket.

621
00:44:21,519 –> 00:44:23,980
Power is good. We need electricity. Go ahead, do it.

622
00:44:30,889 –> 00:44:36,929
That’s why they use students. Lately, the left’s new trick

623
00:44:36,969 –> 00:44:41,369
is using students and using old people. You look at

624
00:44:41,389 –> 00:44:46,260
some of these latest round of protests and stuff. No

625
00:44:46,320 –> 00:44:49,719
Kings protests. What did they do? They raided the freaking

626
00:44:50,400 –> 00:44:54,239
retirement homes. These people are on their last leg, man.

627
00:44:54,260 –> 00:44:56,679
They’re hobbling down the street with their walkers and canes

628
00:44:56,719 –> 00:45:04,010
and stuff, yelling, No Kings! No Kings! And you can

629
00:45:04,030 –> 00:45:07,110
tell in this country that ever since USAID got defunded,

630
00:45:07,849 –> 00:45:09,809
it’s taken its toll. It’s taken its toll. But the

631
00:45:09,849 –> 00:45:12,610
people doing all this stuff were some of the same

632
00:45:12,690 –> 00:45:16,590
people that USAID was paying millions and millions and millions

633
00:45:16,610 –> 00:45:20,530
of dollars. And now they’re trying to go around, do

634
00:45:20,550 –> 00:45:25,250
an end run and go around the back way to

635
00:45:25,289 –> 00:45:30,030
try to get their left-wing communist takeover done. What do

636
00:45:30,050 –> 00:45:31,750
we got? 15 minutes? We might wrap it up a

637
00:45:31,789 –> 00:45:35,659
little early tonight. I don’t know. We’ll see. Um, you’ve

638
00:45:35,679 –> 00:45:38,739
heard of here, flock cameras. Let’s do an update on that.

639
00:45:44,260 –> 00:45:47,010
Who is this? Who did this article? Where did this

640
00:45:47,050 –> 00:45:54,469
come from? What are you people doing to me? Oh, um, mashable.com

641
00:45:54,489 –> 00:45:59,349
mashables had some pretty good stuff lately. It says you

642
00:45:59,369 –> 00:46:01,429
probably know where the coffee shops and gas stations are

643
00:46:01,449 –> 00:46:03,769
in your neighborhood, but the cameras logging your license plate

644
00:46:03,809 –> 00:46:05,570
as you drive past, those can be a little harder

645
00:46:05,590 –> 00:46:09,429
to keep track of. Now, I’ve told you about Flock.

646
00:46:10,429 –> 00:46:14,440
They’re dirty little dealings. They’re a little underhanded stuff. But Proton,

647
00:46:15,119 –> 00:46:19,079
which is the Swiss privacy company behind Proton Mail, which

648
00:46:19,179 –> 00:46:24,739
yours truly has a Proton email address and Proton VPN.

649
00:46:25,559 –> 00:46:28,380
is helping them make it easier to find Flock cameras

650
00:46:28,420 –> 00:46:31,860
by hosting a free map of Flock surveillance devices on

651
00:46:31,880 –> 00:46:36,519
its servers. Flock tried to get the researcher behind the

652
00:46:36,539 –> 00:46:38,840
original project to take it down, according to The Intercept.

653
00:46:41,400 –> 00:46:49,340
Didn’t happen. Proton’s map. You can enter your zip code

654
00:46:49,579 –> 00:46:51,659
to see devices in your area or zoom and pan

655
00:46:51,699 –> 00:46:57,900
around the country. You have the right to know who’s

656
00:46:57,920 –> 00:47:02,519
recording you, I think, especially when you leave home. Now,

657
00:47:02,639 –> 00:47:07,679
Flock’s whole take on this is, hey, you’re out in public.

658
00:47:07,860 –> 00:47:14,670
We can film you out in public, but you can’t

659
00:47:15,409 –> 00:47:19,269
track us. You can’t film us. You can’t put all

660
00:47:19,289 –> 00:47:22,550
of our cameras on a website because, well, that’s treason.

661
00:47:22,989 –> 00:47:30,320
That’s what he calls it, treason. Yeah. So there’s been

662
00:47:30,340 –> 00:47:34,070
a legal battle between this guy that has been mapping

663
00:47:34,110 –> 00:47:39,030
all the flock cameras and flock. And the deflock maps,

664
00:47:39,489 –> 00:47:42,449
you know, they’ve been, flock has demanded that they take

665
00:47:42,489 –> 00:47:48,710
these deflock maps and shut them down. And now we

666
00:47:48,730 –> 00:47:51,110
find out this month that MapQuest has also added a

667
00:47:51,170 –> 00:47:55,389
surveillance layer to its app, letting users see known license

668
00:47:55,429 –> 00:47:59,219
plate reader locations, including flock cameras. You turn it on

669
00:47:59,280 –> 00:48:01,679
under the map option and the camera markers appear along

670
00:48:01,699 –> 00:48:05,880
the roads you’re traveling. Huh. Learn something new every day.

671
00:48:11,159 –> 00:48:12,969
Here’s what I have to think about this stuff, okay?

672
00:48:13,489 –> 00:48:15,280
And I’ve sat and thought long and hard about it.

673
00:48:16,869 –> 00:48:18,989
People go, well, you carry a cell phone around. Yes,

674
00:48:19,050 –> 00:48:22,250
I do. And you know what? Sometimes I leave it

675
00:48:22,289 –> 00:48:29,159
at home. Sometimes I walk away without any technology at all. Well,

676
00:48:29,179 –> 00:48:31,050
you drive a car that’s got a GPS in it.

677
00:48:31,690 –> 00:48:38,230
I don’t. I’ve disabled it. Not intentionally, but the radio

678
00:48:38,269 –> 00:48:40,889
quit working. The entertainment quit working. So I unplugged a

679
00:48:40,989 –> 00:48:42,730
little bit and put a regular old stereo in it.

680
00:48:43,449 –> 00:48:44,050
Sounds better.

681
00:48:46,170 –> 00:48:53,170
Speaker 5: The difference is I choose to buy a vehicle with

682
00:48:53,230 –> 00:48:58,110
a GPS in it. I choose to carry my phone around.

683
00:48:58,610 –> 00:49:02,480
Sometimes I choose not to carry my phone around. Sometimes

684
00:49:02,559 –> 00:49:04,820
I choose not to ride around in.

685
00:49:04,820 –> 00:49:10,579
Speaker 1: A vehicle that has GPS. The difference is, is flock

686
00:49:10,599 –> 00:49:14,449
and others in that ilk are taking away that choice.

687
00:49:15,889 –> 00:49:23,739
You’re being filmed. You’re being photographed. You’re being recorded. recorded. Now,

688
00:49:23,860 –> 00:49:30,079
that act in and of itself is fairly harmless. But

689
00:49:30,159 –> 00:49:33,699
as I say all the time, and people put up the, well,

690
00:49:33,739 –> 00:49:35,280
if you’re not doing anything wrong, what do you have

691
00:49:35,300 –> 00:49:37,900
to worry about? And I look at them and said,

692
00:49:37,960 –> 00:49:40,610
could you imagine the world and how it would have

693
00:49:40,630 –> 00:49:44,130
been if flock would have had all their cameras put

694
00:49:44,170 –> 00:49:49,130
in place during COVID. And you could see their face

695
00:49:49,210 –> 00:49:51,550
go white, even though they don’t want to agree with me.

696
00:49:51,590 –> 00:49:58,159
You can see their face go white. You have to

697
00:49:58,239 –> 00:50:02,559
sneak out to go get your kid, have to go

698
00:50:02,619 –> 00:50:05,340
do something during COVID. Even though you’re told to stay home,

699
00:50:05,400 –> 00:50:08,679
you come home, you get a phone call. Yeah, you’re

700
00:50:08,699 –> 00:50:12,250
getting fined $ 5, 000 because five flock cameras picked you up.

701
00:50:12,260 –> 00:50:15,139
Could you even imagine that? And you say, well, that’s

702
00:50:15,159 –> 00:50:17,420
not going to happen. Isn’t it really? Is it really

703
00:50:17,500 –> 00:50:21,230
not going to happen? Did you not learn anything in 2020,

704
00:50:21,219 –> 00:50:27,139
you poor, foolish, drooling six o’clock news watchers? I’m sorry

705
00:50:27,179 –> 00:50:29,630
that you don’t think it would happen, but it will.

706
00:50:34,570 –> 00:50:39,420
And I think it’s actually hysterical that Proton, Which Proton’s,

707
00:50:39,780 –> 00:50:42,440
I tell you what, I’ve got an email and it’s good.

708
00:50:42,860 –> 00:50:45,579
It’s a pretty good email site. And their big claim

709
00:50:45,599 –> 00:50:49,539
to fame is that they simply, everything is encrypted and

710
00:50:49,579 –> 00:50:54,320
they will not give the encryption up, period, to anyone.

711
00:50:55,179 –> 00:50:58,599
They say it flat off and they’ve had requests and

712
00:50:58,800 –> 00:51:05,039
each and every time they go, yeah, no. So the

713
00:51:05,059 –> 00:51:11,050
whole flock thing is kind of interesting. And I stick

714
00:51:11,090 –> 00:51:14,409
to my guns and this is the, this is the

715
00:51:14,670 –> 00:51:20,650
tinfoil hat wearing, you know, conspiracy theorists that dwells within me.

716
00:51:21,489 –> 00:51:25,170
I stick to my guns that flock is a CIA

717
00:51:25,250 –> 00:51:31,329
shell company or something very similar. NSA shell company, something

718
00:51:31,369 –> 00:51:35,190
like that. I think if you actually dig in Fox’s

719
00:51:35,269 –> 00:51:39,469
finances and you dig on who owns what and where

720
00:51:39,530 –> 00:51:44,289
things came from, I just get the sneaky feeling it

721
00:51:44,329 –> 00:51:50,809
goes right back to the good old intelligence community. They

722
00:51:50,849 –> 00:51:54,960
really do. Folks, we’re going to wrap it up. It’s

723
00:51:55,000 –> 00:52:01,340
been a long, long day. I’m tired. I’m grumpy. It’s

724
00:52:01,380 –> 00:52:07,909
time to go chill out, unwind, relax. Like I said,

725
00:52:08,230 –> 00:52:10,389
don’t know if I’ll be here next week. I really don’t.

726
00:52:10,739 –> 00:52:12,460
I’m going to try, but man, if they’re going to

727
00:52:12,500 –> 00:52:13,920
go in there and do all the crap they said

728
00:52:13,940 –> 00:52:16,500
they’re going to do, I am probably not going to

729
00:52:16,539 –> 00:52:20,619
be in a good mood. Probably not at all. But

730
00:52:20,699 –> 00:52:22,469
if not, I’ll catch you in a couple of weeks.

731
00:52:24,190 –> 00:52:27,309
Have a great, great week. Hopefully the weather holds out

732
00:52:27,329 –> 00:52:28,909
for us for a few more days. It’s kind of

733
00:52:28,949 –> 00:52:31,909
like a little mini summer out there, mini spring. It’s

734
00:52:31,949 –> 00:52:35,579
just been gorgeous. Enjoy every single moment of it. And remember,

735
00:52:36,280 –> 00:52:41,650
whether you pray, meditate, whatever you do, focus on wisdom

736
00:52:42,590 –> 00:52:45,469
and discernment. Because folks, there’s just not enough of either

737
00:52:45,530 –> 00:52:49,440
one in this country anymore. I’m out of here. Peace.
