They call me we are joined, as always with our super producer, Alexis Code Name, dark holiday, Jackson, most importantly, you or you you are here, and that makes this the stuff they don't want. You to know the top the week, which means we are exploring or dreams news in today's segment:

I think we are all experiencing that issue. I alluded to earlier. Increasingly, it's difficult to find just the one story like just just the wine, because there so much stuff? Today, you're gonna learn a little bit about possible state. Why can we in Russia you gonna write the lightning kind of in a weird way, also gonna whilst gonna learn about. a corrupted vote, but not the one you're thinking of right. So so I'm thinking, if you or feeling for it. Maybe we maybe we explain the lightning first, because this is like this. Is God like power to me just face other headline? I I know it's gonna be used evil so cool. Well, I hope the hope is it would be used for good, specially the greater good The potential here of potential

well, yeah sure, let's get right into it. The article that I am bring to the table today is from Cosmos, its cause, most magazine, Dotcom, EVA similar article like this posted in many different outlets in it's all in response to a paper, those published in the journal, nature and I'll. Just tell you what it, Sir, what it says, the title Can we control where lightning strikes. Oh, oh, maybe once but not twice certain! Well, oh here's the deal we ve talked about of controlling the weather, manipulation of the weather for a long time, specifically with lightning we came with this ingenious thing, ass humans something called a lightning rod where, if you ve got a piece of metal of some kind that is grounded stuck into the ground at some point and it is high enough, then you and generally coax the lightning

you striking that Paul other than the surrounding, buildings or surrounding wildlife. You know forests and things Generally, it helps at least it is needed. There is a one hundred percent certainty that you're not going to have air lightning strikes on other things right on other surfaces in also like lightning itself crazy thing we could even talk about like is: is it actually, coming down from the sky and striking the ground, or is it the opposite and going up into the sky in the charged particles? I didn't know. Gotta tell you. I used to think based on some of the questions. Are things you're just mentioning lightning was somehow sentient, his younger and because of Lord right. What's that because of floor, and all that I said I mean I knew about it nurse mythology, but I was more like the way elect

Felicity seemed to know when and where to connect to places seem to me. Be the actions of a thinking entity and no one corrected me. No one was like hey. No, don't worry kid like me, is not some sort of living thing. There are all just like yeah. Looking back, I think I probably talk to a lot of stone. I also love house how ultimately super dirt literally dirt simple the car. set grounding- is its literally just connecting a thing to the ground because lightning seeks the guy and so you have to like ground your power, and that makes it where you're not gonna, be the path to the ground for the electricity, because it's already finding that badly one another way. Finding seeking I'm tellin you until I haven't we given on this point, but I think you could probably maybe this is a layman's way, but you could probably talk about it in terms of tension and enjoy. of like it's gonna, seek ok,

again, I'm doing it. I guess tell you what he used. The term seek or is just going to naturally flow in a direction towards the path of least resistance ripe year, but humans can influence it surgeons pulsation we're we're good, but you I know it is very much like a lot of the other natural processes like you're speaking too there. You know whenever there is a lack of something or less dense area. Next, to a higher density area is going. There's going to be a flow. Things want to nature, in nature, want to find that equally real. If possible, it will so, let's talk about like why are we talking about lightning in it? possibly knowing where to into Shrike what if we could just decide, hey lightning you're, not gonna strike there and I've got this cool peace, a technology from long long ago there were figuring out how to utilise to make that lightning however smart you are strike, were I want you to strike, because I'm here

and I'm smart and I can invent things well, there is. There are there's a whole group of scientists international, an international group of scientists who are a tip to come up with a way to guide lightning. I guess anew One of the reasons that their studies were spurred was broken As of the australian fires, there were occurring all over the country in twenty nineteen in in throughout parts of twenty twenty as well, and they wanted to see. Would it be possible to prevent those dry lightning strikes there will hit in air the owl back somewhere or an area of foliage that is very, very dry and then ignite a large wildfire. That then, is extremely difficult to put out. Is there a way that we could make that lightning not hit any of these areas? That are that we need to protect because they are vulnerable, I'm gonna say

field dome situation where her I'm gonna refused myself. Well, it's I made it sounds kind of crazy. They were virtue. It has a laser tractor beam technology right so were already in STAR trek you flying saucers air like a realm here and really territory, but it is me not be as crazy as it sounds just initially now Ben you guys, I think of shared out these links to to both of you guys any may have to help me through this. Not the choice best thing in the whatever you want to use here the charter, is not there

now, there's so much by ok, not the slickest seal on the seashore go I was just going to say: I'm not the sharpest chest. Peace in library of theirs. make sure everyone understands I'm a brilliant by the they're doing hears there. They ve got two electrodes so imagine if you just hold up your hands kind of shoulder, width here, if one of your electrodes, on your left hand, has a small hole in the sun Us, like a cylindrical hole, a laser, get shot through that whole and hits on the other elect which would be a right hand and in between those two electrodes there are theirs. Essentially you, I think its charter, particles in the centre there that they used to oh, that when you,

When you shine this laser beam through this whole around a particle or a thing, they're calling a particle any heats up, you can. worse in electrical charge, to fall along that laser. Like the laser, essentially heat certain areas, in these two electrodes, and then it cost Cooling in other places like and where the laser is hitting seniors. Actually super charging the air around this one thing is when particle and right now was just laboratory testing. It's very small scale and their viewing like the lasers that they're using are not some joy, huge laser that you would imagine for some particle beam testing or for some you know military purpose, there would be weapon ized, something like that in their thinking that if you just up the scale on some,

like this, a little bit larger. You put it in strategic places. You would you be able to essentially coax the lightning rod then striking in any of these other places somewhat. To it, would just you can a funnel the charged through one of these things and the coolest thing it, and it isn't even really mentioned much in this article. Good Lord I've been trying to make my way through the nature article in which, as a whole, other thing, though we ve talked about before, but it's as though, if you can control lightning strikes in that way, you could harness that electricity could harness the heat. their everything, this being generated there to actually get power. If you could find a way to store it at these sites, where you ve got one Specialized laser tractor beams hum super fascinating stuff. What else do you guys think about this? Deviancy feasible, I mean lived there

haven't done any in the field. Experiments survey from what I understand at this point the labyrinth experiments have about twenty different. Innovations that prove the concept. The concept is exactly what it sounds like We have the technology which I think you were explained perfectly met to direct lightning to guide it toward pre determined targets. So the first, the reason the scientist or doing this? Yes, it's to prevent forest fires, write, a of a smoking in the bare. By bites you don't have to a forest fire to have a pre defined target. That's thing Other the other issue here is what I would say. The two issues are that widen. We cannot with absolute, certitude make a thunder, storm happens somewhere. Yet so, if you wanted to hit something, are you feel

to have that dry. Lightning, I think specifically, you would have to wait for it to occur right now I guess it's like a garden where you randomly fine bullets that fit it kind of like in a video game. Tat lights, interesting, it's true, but the second thing is in. Perhaps I would argue one of the more important is that our species has found ways to affect the weather before and no good has come of it. You know I always think over what is it The cloud busting machine me now and now that I ended up can have an beyond the lamb, because either a there totally fraudulent or be It was actually doing something and it was affecting climate in a week. localised and a wholly unpleasant way. I believe it is the potentially lead to some floods, if I'm not mistaken them

the other two things so I knew William Reich and organ energy. That's where the cloud buster comes from and cigars getting chase down the addition of a belief, silver. I die in into the sky, can cause moisture to a creek but we re make a cloud seated cloud seeding. actually. Ryanair there's another story. I was talking about a specific us. I was kind of crossing two paths. I think of cloud busting that Cape Bush song, which is The story of Wilhelm rake in this idea of him. Having this like grand scheme of being able to influence the they're using this potentially fictional form of organ energy, but Yeah story were also talking about, is literally in introducing chemical element into the clouds that gone unchecked can actually wreak havoc on Lee Environment. In terms of like you know, overdoing it yet forget the alphabet guys used it in Southeast Asia during conflict in Vietnam.

Cambodia Louse and a created massive flooding like it's, not it's something. We cannot effects only kind of in the beginning, and we can't real do much much else with it. But this like this, these are guided, lightning technology could, in an ideal world, save lives. Natural environments and to your point mad. I think the the super forward facing futuristic view of it is world, in which we can just like Thorun Norse mythology, we can harness the power of the divine right of Zeus thoughts. Yeah, MRS from the article from the one of the physicist, when the co authors name is Andre. Moorish Chin, Ching, Chong, Shinto, moorish Anko. He says We have an invisible thread. A pen with

We can write, light and control the electrical discharge to within about one tenth, the width of a human hair. Like think about that, harnessing the pie of lightning into this tiny little strand now, that is awesome cool I mean I'm sure he can weapon eyes that somehow, because you can discharge, it super precisely after you, ve harnessed it for very long distances, so you can you can harness. It then send that baby out her, which you know is a little scary, but the cool, the coolest thing about being able to do. That is that they're saying the potential for this technology would be to be able to essentially create a lightning scalpel. Like imagine, if you're mean even if it, if its for non human surgery purposes right for some kind of artificially intelligent surgery. That is wrong.

being a tumor of some sword or doing some kind of in surgery, but instead of using any kind of metal tat we do make a caught using some Carter. Rising laser taken energy you actually using this needle like read of lightning to tune to make these cuts. And suitors and I'll. Just all of the things that you potentially do with it to me. It feels like ones, take becomes a reality? You'll feel like something that we may be have had a long time ago, it's not like were doing anything dreamily revolutionary here, we're just harnessing in a different way and thinking about it differently. That's what these scientists are doing yeah, I mean creativity, exists in the application of extent concepts as much as it does.

in the invention or quarter court invention of new ones, but there's something there's something promethean about it. Right, like me, have myths, age, old myths, warning us that this kind of stuff, Kinko's I'd ways I dont, think I dont think the ancient Greeks were perhaps contemplating this in terms of using lasers. There would have been aware of late but now the fact that it is proven in a lab means some one is going to do it. I think I think of the article you share. An inn in this study is well or in the paper nature there stumbling block is not. Can we with this in the field? The main stumbling block is: can we build technology that can absorb this massive, of of lightning election city just shot right at you. Can we build something they catch the lightning, We know how to throw it. Now. We just

Nobody on the other end won't be destroyed by a menace. Something some sort of Faraday Cage Ask situation Anna or they look like catching lightning. you mean to appeal to absorb it and then shoot it back to the ground wouldn't it be a lightning rod could need a shooting. I got a thing that was grounded and I would like absorb it. Won't there's not is not a plug away too much, but there is a great article how stuff works called? Can we harvest the energy of lightning this? This article, I dont believe, has thee latest news here, but it shows people been thinking of this question for for several years, a single, of lightning is powerful enough to provide electricity to it our household for a month. So this is a lot of juice. We just don't know that's the thing. We don't know how

build something that can hold it long enough to discharge. usable non destructive way, no eight securing way to put Otherwise, you can hit something in just cause. An explosion. Is, u turn up? I'm scale? That's really what the matter is intensity timescales, really short so. What happens when lightning hits a lightning rod like it? Just goes to ground. Doesn't like scorch. The earth, though, does it? Oh yeah, dude really tat. Every time now it summons its summons all sorts of creatures. Out of you ever system security. Now gathering guidelines are a campaign. Is only amassing a serious question like if alighting raw gets hit and is connected to the ground is. Is that going to keep it under control or is, if there's anything near it could potentially shoot off something and cause. You know a localised like fire. An event of some sort man has to We're still has the best s ear. You guys came came

article by Johns, a visa. How lightning works in the very first very first paragraph? It is of the ball lightning rods and its essentially You know what you think of a lightning rod and you think of a ride, but it's actually more of a grid. Conductive grid, that's connected to single wire that then buried in the ground near by and it's out essentially first, like we said in a low resistance path to the ground for the lightning too, to find Jim what it says in his article, then what when I read this to you, ah God those good. Oh God, ass, a hold on. I just want a measure gathers here. The purpose of the lightning rod is not to attract lightning. It merely provides a safe option for the lightning strike to choose Yes, yeah, you who's this guy,

the jury is still out on the censure of lightning I can see the joy and Ben Bowlines face on the very fact of guys. I'd tell you. I've got got a horror novel that is entirely about this idea. It's obsessed me, I did do away with the new gods. Let's go back to worship, lightning and stuff like that. Let's be animist doesnt know well well, let's I mean let's also keep an eye on this right, because this is pretty whose very exciting stuff. Let's hope that its used for good bye, the research is out there, its public odd, which means that there are other groups. working on this right. As so we're gonna see something happened. As long as humanity these civilization continues apace, which has never given by how cool would that be? You know you can control lightning in your own home, hey we'll be right

back to learn some more strangeness hi, I'm Katy lows hosted the podcast Katie's crab, where we try to keeping. real, while providing an indispensable guide for all parents, is trying to find their way I will share. One of my favorite moments, from the show with you presented by target target, has always been there to celebrate the thoughtfulness you bring to every little thing and can help bring meaningful moments to this year's holidays. You can try targets contactless services by downloading the target up today, my dear friend, the most wonderful person chonta rhymes. We are here today about adoption awareness, man flew yeah for a lot. people may have dreamed of like making a baby their entire lives of being pregnant, of having a child? That's biologically linked, and they have to deal with that grief and that law some have not been able to do that, and then I think that was that now they have this image in their head of what they always thought. Their child was gonna, be like to have a child. That is nothing like their imagination for a lot of people. That's that's in Congress and maybe doesn't work right chemistry- was about

when I heard radio apple pod casts a reverie you get. Your pot casts today's horoscope brought to you by Geico people take note of your sunny disposition. Sagittarius, that's because you just switch tick, acre and discovered you could save hundreds of dollars a year on car insurance. However, your new found inner glow may prompt unfounded rulers. Did you get a promotion? Are you wanna juice cleanse? Did they give you too much Anastasia at your dentist appointment were secretly safe with our Sagittarius Geico fifteen minutes, good, saying you fifty percent or more and leave returned. This is a GEO political story that has been reported to a degree in western media, but there are a lot of questions now.

This story brings up. The I dont think have been addressed, and I wanted to share this with you all ensure this with you phone conspiracy, realist, so the Vladimir Putin may have heard of him you know, is like somewhat popular in Russia and has been for a number of years. I, u can see photographs of him from his intentions. This agency days, where he's pretending to be a photographer, kidding, that's terrible He's more well known for being the yield running strong man, sometimes president's sometimes prime Minister of Russia. Recently, Russia's parliament came out with a pretty interesting law. The idea here is that If this bill passes becomes law, a russian president could be made a mule from any criminal prosecution once they leave office. So you ve

immunity for life. What yeah yeah this does happen in a vacuum by the way, which is wise, weird peopled, in pay attention to the time Edward Snowden is now a permanent residents of Russia. I reach out. You want wherever back so the euro, the huge ha ha with the contentious. U S election now with one one, member or one candidate for the election, all known. Well, now to be somewhat of a sink of it for Russia, and that's not my opinion that those are the facts I saw for prudent to drop out or to try to institute this law, which is not technically his suggestion, whatever I at this time, seems like in their aid seems like there could be some connective tissue there, like is prudent

preparing for a transition of power like is he. Concerned at all about what may shake out in the next few years, some source have been saying that there is a kind of medical concern, the ethic the daily mail outlet of that note had said that Putin was possibly suffering from Parkinson's, but we haven't seen any hard reporting on that and the russian government came out and said that they had no like. There was no can. Molly medical reason. Then again I mean look at what happened to bring a brown already. liquor, were happily ragged Reagan and losing cognitive ability during the presidency no one here. that you know near IRAN already having seen the trailer for the new. What is it college again game, that's like based on the cold war and there's a really

refining, like Peter animation of Ronald Reagan in the trailer. No, I haven't seen as its. I just Ngos is that videogame Ronald Reagan like what are they have to and new is the call of duty, cold war, but no other resigned and also makes me think that of all the probably that surrounded Kim Jong Boone. You know falling out of them. Blake. I briefly in all of this wild regulation. They like did he die air or what have you ever since I was in the early days of this type of speculation and to your point about daily male being Canada source, I mean they're sort of a tab, a journal of ill repute. I suppose we could say but it would be interesting to follow what what? What do you think, though, ban Do you have any other evidence or any am tea, leaves it in saying that when something is up, has he been making fewer appearances than usual? So it's

strange, because the way it's been reported in the west, pretty often is the little misleading. There already is a federal law granting a form of limited, but pretty copper into immunity munifi to russian president surpassed in February two thousand and one and this law is actually something. That's that's here too, a lot of other countries, original law. Two thousand one says a russian president cannot be held liable for actions they have taken during office during the exercise of their power, and that's that's pretty common in other countries, because. yeah yeah, yeah, Matt, you're right, it's pretty common in other democracies, because this is like it's a tall order to hold the job of president then

somehow be implicated in what at least one or two other countries considers a war crime. You know, that's that's just the reality here, but this law may be different because could be absolute immunity for actions taken not only during office but after you leave office boys with what he did for Yeltsin Boris Yeltsin, right understanding I, and maybe I'm wrong by minister. Is there as soon as Putin got into power, he essentially told or like passed a few acts. That said the Boris Yeltsin would be, free from prosecution for anything he do. While he was in office which base I mean, which makes sense like theirs There is the law

running, trooper pattern in a lot of these kind of state level transitions, and it's that the previous person, if their parties align the previous person and powers pardoned. Please excuse all the peas there, but that's the truth. And with with Putin. I think one of the reasons were seen so much speculation a lot of which is unfounded is primarily because true, it agree. Prudent, as a black box, you know is, is God the east godmother tons of oligarchy either exiled were on his team. No one really knows how much money he has, There are a lot of things about him that remain enigmatic cause he's a former spire their good stuff like that. And he has been shilling in a bunker for most of us covered. Nineteen, season, though even going through rather being anywhere public just hanging

in a bunker engineer. There there's something else, though, that this this parliamentary working group that propose this bill, there's something else the affected their decision last month. October, took me like a guy's pandemic rules last month in the past. Russia announced a suite of sweeping reforms to the overall political system and get as the seams counter intuitive watched, the chess game here Ray watched, the three card Monti of power. His reforms are going to show power away from the position of the presidency. right around the time, his term ends and twenty twenty four. So the question is: what new position will he take Is it? Isn't there something? Maybe I'm wrong? I'm I'm looking at a guard.

An article that was reposted in Emma S n and I cannot find it originally on the guardian anymore might eat. It is saying that essentially the start. This legislation would entitle any former president to a lifetime seat and give me a quote here: a lifetime seat as a senator within the Russian Federation Council Direct, so that is: are they trying to move power to that council or, like If they're doing that, then wholly crap, have a bunch of old oligarchs ruling everything cause. I mean imprudent, isn't a spry, my meaning spry still easily, notably spend a lot of other world leaders. Yeah that's did interest, but also

check this out. So there's more stuff happening in the background here. Russia also before that adopted a constitutional amendment that is best described in the guardian mentions is to ban, as best described as resetting term limits, not for the russian president. The deferral for flat for Labour Putin, this would allow him potentially to run for President too, times stayed in office until twenty thirty six, at which point he would be. Eighty four that happened in June of twenty twenty there back before He knew how this election would go in the? U S, if you believe that the elections are not kind of pre decided through things like the electoral what college, which will have an episode on promise drift, is about Take that no, no, it's just

there's a reason. Electoral colleges there and we ve talked about before and we're going about it again. Yeah I get it, but not you forbid the voice of reason before, on this dear give them every vote, counts and everything's. Fine, Well, if, as the key, let's just keep going we gotta go you're; ok, ok, ok! So the thing is that presidential immunity is a huge incentive and we also I know how many pies globally Putin as his hands in right. We don't know what he would need to be immune from. That is the question that people should be asking right and what like lifetime immunity from prosecution, a lifetime seat in the Senate becoming in some ways the king,

in all, but name. You know what I mean in its world. It's it's not agree. besides. Why political thriller game of Thrones s world this? something that is very close to becoming true, and I just wonder whether this in any way connected to events in the? U S, I think that's a fair question. Ask if a little bit? U S, centric and self important The other question is like the so. Why now why this and what next it also makes it very difficult to revoke immunity. Thought like they really thought about this immunity. Port Certainly in the United States has been a lot of time. Around like. We now see what you will about the President like what could he pardon himself? or a pardon his family. Your pardon, you know like use that power to have some. Of immunity of perceived crimes, wedding,

then it's like, you can pardon himself for future events that have been have This really is like some next level power to be able to be forever immune from any prosecution how that is an inherently just looked at, is just the most corrupt thing possible cause to even need that would imply that you have the intention of doing these. Things are or doing things That would mean you'd need to be protected from Imagine right now, If you're, a resident of the United States is a matter where your reason of imagine if George W Bush was still in office or still in charge of the United States right now. After all, years after everything, that's happened after all major global decisions on diplomacy on war. On all of these things like it, Jim. If then, he was saying gas sneeze, you pass this law

I just can save it, just conceal everything I've done, schools kosher right. Don't worry about me! I'm fine! I'm right over here get a seat on the hum of the Senate of somewhere, maybe Texas, State Senate GO are Martin I mean just imagine like that is what's happening, it's just happening. You know four for us in a different place. I wanted to hear from from people who live in Russia who were who ve been watching this living. This only hear what they think or people who live in former soviet republics as well, because that whose decisions will still impact your life and with lovely. From him very curious. I do want to say so that there's been some scuttle by saying that this proposal had some critics. One piece of speculation couldn't confirm, so the Putin was one of those critics. I don't believe it.

is this a this is kind of an international norm, but the there's hilarity to it as well, like think about that, so wartime, as the Russian Federation right. That's that's the big, the big quarter, peace Corner Brownie of the cake pan. That was the! U S for the Russian Federation exists. Still it's been in existence, rule twenty nine years, it has had three president's one of those is dead, so there too ended their writing. The law, like you know if a russian President Lincoln a russian president? That's exactly like us writing a law that was like you know. If a pod, castor a producer of other stuff. They don't want. You to know happens to take, two thousand and forward explorer and hit. You know a Popeye's chicken at six. Seventy

eight Ponce De Leon Avenue Northeast, then they should be immune. That's just a law hypothetically like that's how weirded is why are you a doctor, the hell out upon their real it? I really thought you met just like a piece of paper chicken, or something like that. I was there Just call me, wasteful: that's, not a crime against humanity, it six. Eighty three! boulevard northeast, that's where our purposes is, and I will defend it because again, it's great like that, the safe so much on diplomacy, past the savings on to you, my lifetime listers, that's the same place where a camera should mention I as the place where I I've rolled up before and the so the drive through has just said why here I'm gonna treatment?

you. Actually I miss him. I missed their great, but yes, but you see the like writing this in such a general sense is now even misleading? It's just weird is like why at that point, why bother would say like this precedent? the issue, though, is that we care really threw stones. This is a glass house. situation, and this is something that you see a lot of other countries in the? U S western democracies, but I I don't know. I really dont know about the timing and we obviously cannot like we can't one hundred percent trust official russian statements or official Kremlin statements, The health of the President of Russia, they're not going to say like wow yeah, that's guys got six months and he is pissed. They're going to say he's great he's been in great you're being weird chill? Ok, it's alive

about a russian president. Everybody you have met met of what is his name: Dmitri Medvedev, United. That's exactly what the Kremlin said that early, zero, the other wouldn't do Jerry Guy, you know you remember you know you know, so this so this is where I live. I want to see what other people think, especially bad said. If you are from Russia, if you are, if you are experienced in this field of diplomacy, is this just a regular wat is this? Is this tie mean independent of any other events? Is there any site and to the earlier statements from the times in January of twenty twenty there's something I did reported a lot along with this lifetime immunity bill. Is there any sand to the Kremlin's earlier statement that President Putin,

take on the title of Supreme Leader of Russia under plans discussed by Government Commission of seventy five people hand picked by Vladimir Putin to put forward amendments to the Trees constitution bully now just then I just saying again Lake alone alone. A piece of the jigsaw just looks like a puzzle but together they paint a picture. I just wonder what the picture is. I think however, it is banned or probably I'll be fine right, everything's, it's all good, we're going to get all that. You know lightning shooting technology air I do have a look the laws that, like a russian president uses a laser to guide lightning is also immune from. I think this is a view from the weather

and its consequences into dialogue now remained. I played commanding conquer. I know how that goes down as soon as the Tesla coils come out. I mean, gets dangerous. So just let's list, not ok, everybody yeah. Unless you know, maybe it will fine. Maybe I am reading tea leaves and be very careful to say, be unknown to separate speculation from facts. Ah bites the only way it will be. All fine is if the government is not corrupt. I that brings us to a segway, a pause for were from our sponsor and we're gonna learn a little bit more about corruption, but in the way you expect. There's a corrupt vote. U S. Listeners is not the one you're thinking who are we to say what people expect her don't expect. I mean it could very well be exactly what you would expect, but you'll have to wait till after this commercial break to find out.

And now another addition of obvious news from Geico Study says that soft talkers do not make great radio personalities. We asked local librarian Steve Sage about this and here's what he said it is also an obvious news: Tycho makes it easy to save money and easy to manage your policy with the Geico up. So switching is a really smart decision. How to Steve feel about it. I love the I come up. I use it all the time. That's all these new, some guy come it's your apartment, speaking and need some favours when you're saying in the shower just try going up a key Europe, and to be an alto when really Euro soprano, oh and if you could bundle Europe tourism, car insurance with Geico. It's easy. Did you do online and we could save money and then, when you re, Murder, mysteries at night, could you read out loud but skip the murder parts because

I get scared Geico, the bundling movies you gotTa Geico Dotcom today and we're back election. The tampering rigging falsifying fraudulent votes. We didn't episode recently on ridiculous history, about the history of ballot. Stuffing and fragile voting. It was all much more analogue back. Then people literally would like take pieces. paper, there were almost like toilet paper and they would be duplicate ballots, together, and then they stick them in these ballot boxes. When Box was looking shake up the ballot box and then this piece of paper would separate, and then you got yourself six votes for the price of one. Well, that's why we have secret ballots by day. That's the way I was a who I was the only way that episode was why we have secret ballots because originally with voting thy of secrecy was distrusted

You know that was almost like a negative words. I won't. What do you have to hide? What turns out there's to hide. If you start shouting your vote be no from the rooftops, people, mine, take kindly to it all they might target you and There was a whole thing where people would get like rounded up in bars and forcibly fed alcohol and pills, and then man we're caused here and be dead, sounded like a really fly hands like really viewer. It was like an early one of gunning kind of you know but lacking the election gaining, but we're talking a modern election fraud today, but you're right, I'm being quoits, not necessarily the one knew you might be thinking of its one. They honestly it gives great pain and great paused even be able to discuss openly because it in was one of my least favorite things in the wide world, which is birds not a fan of these creatures. These tiny dinosaurs with their beady eyes, their input

double movements in their weird which fingers. I think those are called talons perhaps, but they they do- figure prominently into a story about voter fraud. There is, in fact I guess you could call it a competition. Contest. That's done every year, New Zealand and it's called very simply bird of the year. Competition and this year, my friends of something just wasn't quite right. There is something a little bit off about the bird of the year. Competition evidence election rigging has tainted this year's competent in four bird of the year, a New Zealand, oh, it's true, organizers, started catch wind of this. When they received in one fell swoop. Thirdly, blow five election fraud, but from one single email address early in the morning Monday of last week, fifteen huh votes, but it was,

further bird favoured to win mind you that bird in fact was like the world's fattest largest pair it called heavier spare heaviest parent. The excuse me I'm not trying to fat. Shame any birds here body shame rather whatever, but yeah that produce. Labour that was favourites to win the cock up. How not to be confused with the cock, a coup which is like a like a hybrid of like a Cocker Spaniel Anna. She, too, perhaps less right. but that bird was favoured to win and was like up up there in the rankings. We actually have a really great article four Mashable, that kind of like tat, up a lot of the the on the DNA, like the tweets like there were actually keeping up with us as the announcement was coming, and the cock a was number two during the time of counting and then only a head slightly by the two Roma Antipater in albatross, but the cock up? I was looking for a good. The number three- and this is a free, forty, six p

on November twelve, which I believe was Thursday of last week- we have that Korea, Black Robin, and the car area, New Zealand Falcon and then a distant. Fifthly, have the Carew. It doesn't have a subtitled, let TAT sounds cool, but swooping in. That's a pint bird pine, but that's, I would have assented either way at the last minute, aided by this fifteen hundred like boat blast from a single email was a sub species of The national bird of New Zealand, which is the key an inner ear from a bird fearing guy like myself, the key barely looks like a bird and almost looks like a gerbil or something with a really long. Skinny beak ass, it doesn't have wings are flightless birds. His interesting. It gives them a little more street credit. For me,

part of the thing I like about birds. They can fly up in your face and do all kinds of new now unpredictable shenanigans. I just my here for but this Kiwis pretty pretty cute, look a little guy, but that's right. All of these votes came in for this key way: single email address, and the the organizers of the of the contest called fell. gas storage, the that specific, but the little spotted key weak as Cuba is a family, the european it is the little spotted kiwi, but the official name the key we took bookoo supercool sounding but year was very suspicious behaviour. Fifteen hundred votes from us, single email address and each of those It was in favour of this key Poohpooh and was a statement from forest and Burgess accounts. patient organization, there runs the just for the record. This whole events is simply designed to

and people on to like the wildlife of their region, you now, because we New Zealand is a beautiful place with very diverse wildlife. And a lot of very unusual birds and, and this organization put out a statement, saying fraud spotted and quotes the spotted Huey in bird of the year votes, forest and bird is discovered over fifteen hundred fraudulent votes for the key Poohpooh coup in bird of the year and the illegitimate votes briefly pushed the key. We pick up a good to the top of the preferred bird of that Leaderboard gray language rhyming here, but the votes have since been removed from the competition, a quote from Laura Cuban who's, the spokesperson for birds: said it's lucky. We spotted this little kiwi, trying to sneak in an extra fifteen hundred votes under the cover of darkness adorable by them

have to play by the rules, like all the other birds to win the competition, Amy ends the accompany called Dragonfly data science. Who who were response, four tabulating, the votes they're, the ones that pegged irregularity and they adjusted accordingly Yet in the end, this quite large terrifying, parrot type, creature won the day. Will this ebbing it's in a fair vote? It would have anyhow, but the it's interesting, because this She knew this voting, which I begin I think began in two thousand and five has been rigged multiple times before, or people try to rake in twenty fifteen, someone tried to get the cook go into the number one spot in twenty eighteen, someone tried to get the shaggy man

number in the number one spot. They voted like three hundred times or something, but my favorite, backed of all, is the businesses that got involved. Specifically these sex toy manufacturer, retailing, adult toy magazine, don't toy mega store, which said that the Hee Hee practices the heating. The burglars because it practises Pollyanna S right and not mention that it also has unusually large testicles hen engages in face to face mating so it's essentially there looking at it as the leader of the sex positivity movement among songbirds, and this reporting came from NPR So this word all that and in Europe, in its true, it had been attempted to be rigged multiple times, one other election that period. Some fraudulent activity this year that apparently

had never experienced this before you guys. I remember this from your youth member Nickelodeon kids pick the president competition where kids, you know. Presumably their parents permission call it a number nowadays, you know vote using them computers to pick in election modeling situation, you know using children and this year. I do this every year with every president relation back as far as like when Linda Ehler be was the head of Nick NEWS Mrs Nick NEWS, kids pick the president and they revealed the result of that pole and this year, and they rightly they ve seen I've seen a video of it. They drum roll? Please will you whenever there, like, you, know news anchor the comes on and tells us Ok, we're about to announce the winner and then there's a his frame, and then this, like full screen text message with like a very officials, being narrator voice comes along and says before we

reveal the results we need to, let you in on some news. We know you depend on Nick for fairness and honesty. I should do so. We wanted to be honest with you, as we conducted our vote. Our tech wizards admit discovered some cheating and where to eliminate the unfair votes from our count after lots of vetting. We feel, super confident in our results and then went on to announce that, according to according to the adjusted the results of the Pull the Joe Biden Uncommonly Harris one, and it says they say there, you have it the kids. The future have spoken and you know, in the Lee fraudulent votes of course- were Fora for Donald Trump and They came in through Botz. They like they were. There were bought that were used to to spam. These results with votes for four Donald Trump and then the same As the bird of the year contests, they were able to kind of identify

sometimes he wasn't particularly sophisticated, but there you have it and then just a guy episode with a little bit, bringing in around two how these sort of mock elections can kind of things that are going on, or at least accusations that are going on with our real elections. I know everyone. I think, is aware that Leah, the sitting press and did not win. Done what we know hasn't been certified. You ever did not win either the popular or the electoral college- and there have been a lot of accusations flung around about voter fraud and about allegation. of election rigging and things without very much? We know if any back up and that he was most interesting about this. To me, is that folks who are making these claims aren't offering any actual. But not only that when you see the transcripts of the law suits their filing and of the actual courting quote,

allegations they are putting forth their very they're. Not they don't hold water at all. There. There things like I think there were maybe like three votes that could happen out in one of the the accusations that had to do with some tampering from a again, it is. It is new mounted the end of the day, the take away as on paper these accusations are very like kind of petty and a little bit frivolous. The rhetoric, as is quite the opposite, will see how you see what happens, but one of the most sting and divisive conspiracy theories around voting fraud in this that has recently been elevated by Donald Trump. The president, in the form of a retreat. Is this note? in that q and on conspiracy theories have put forth that voting machines created by then he called dominion voting somehow erased almost a million votes for for the incumbent president

and were that's. You know better can other an opinion about this, but this hard to argue that the facts just don't quite line up with that, a statement from dominion, voting that where the cattle We deny these false assertions about vote, switching issues and then they have some pretty compare arguments in saying that they are a non partisan. U S! Company! They don't have any connections to like the policy, family, air, Feinstein, family or the another Clinton initiative, etc, and they offer some fact checking. But the most interesting thing to me is the idea that all of these results are completely audible. So in that that's true, you know you can do now. I go in and check and see, there's a paper trail or a digital trail, but he added, if you guys, heard anything about the sir. These nations about dominion spontaneous Lee deleting you know, these votes modes is tough because we mean

we ve talked about in the past. We show now some of the older voting technology that is electronic is easily equitable and hackle. If you chose to do that, it does require direct, connection physical connection to individual machines. If that's what we're talking about here, the allegations against dominion and specifically in the twenty twenty presidential election here in the U S, I have not looked fully at that, but is definitely something that's why our time to release. Consider because it is a boss Melody is where or not? any validity to the claims here. Let me I would I would say that the primary issue if cured, is as a source would be the rampant it

you're a sea of the of the predictions right eye that that means that they don't get stuff right. We can consider it in accurate source. Additionally, I think a lot of the cure non stuff is citing reports from a place called one, America, news network, which is, I am thinking of a food example it's like the double cheeseburger too, regular, burger young, I mean it's more and its more extreme. It's got bacon on a blue chip, and such like that, I'm saying it's in a level of extremity right eye, so lake why in American used at work will say things that Fox would never say and for some of their supporters, that's seen as proof that foxes may be conquered Ized in in one way or another. The thing is that there's a guy named Chris Crabs, who's, the director of something called the Cyber secure,

and Infrastructure security agency who ass to delve into this, has to figure this stuff out and that sweet from the sitting president is like for another: video game. Comparison, sorry guys cycling, yet you're at the very end of your health bar and all of a sudden you stumble, also power on Oddly enough way this this, thing- occurs with every election Diebold, for instance, we which made voting machines in previous. U S, elections, vague attic. some of the same things- and this goes on both sides of the political differences deep, older Diebold, whatever you want to call him, they were indeed

federal federal charges in October, twenty thirteen, so there were something there that took the case to court and because of that, because that pattern, I would argue, if there's something if there is some the substantive to the observation about dominion? Then it will indeed the end up in a it hasn't. Yet. Is that because there hasn't been enough time eyes? because there haven't been solid enough sources so far. We know that most of the legal cases that have actually had a day in court, ah arguing against the results of the election. I most of those cases to my knowledge, have been thrown out for lack of what the judge considered. evidence. So these are things the judge decides and if you want a laugh You should read the you can find the transcripts. You should read what some of these judges are saying because they ve

they're coming in hot, the punchy that had a long day, its grey, was one where its land. So what's your problem, was length. The final word, where there are some back and forth from the judge, clarify what was actually being presented, because I think he on seemed a little mystified by him and being in what he considered a non issue and then Even I think the lawyer presenting it essentially said what some fat pig of a deal and then the jug said. So, what's your problem but go back to this idea of like one of the accusations being that there were like spontaneous her last minute. Software updates that you know, gave some kind of special ability to the software caused glitches and we're Spalding County and the Georgia Secretary of State have verified that this is not possible and the logs from the equipment that have been received by county officials did not,

there. There is no explanation update I am also view these are. These are self contained machines, they're they're not connected to the internet directly, they have to be. You know, like the less the whole point. There's not a centralized, like place further, as otherwise, why wouldn't internet voting be okay? Let s sort of the whole idea they are self contained. You are ultimately doing your ballot and feeding it into a machine scanning it, and then they have to low that information or create a actual paper, Mina version of it in some way shape or form yeah and in the issue with the report going back to going back to that American Use network report the issue with that What I understand is that they they built their report on accusations of conspiracy from what they all data obtained from Edison, research, the problem is Edison research came. Instead, they have not published any report,

moving any kind of allegations and furthermore they haven't the shake their any quantitative data about it. So here we're being cited as a sore say that thing there being signed for never actually occurred. If you, if you believe in theory that maybe it's just a propaganda war, but again we saw the same accusations with Diebold That's right, you're, going back to indict boldly the the issues were switched other political parties, were switch so dominion voting. terms has their own official statement, to which I am sure we all saw they too, the AP that they have no issues of shenanigans, but then again, of course, they would say that you know it in the government of Russia is not going to come out and say: oh yeah, man, Putin is poor. Wild

and dominion voting systems is not going to take. What's doubtlessly one of the biggest contracts of their corporate career and say yes, we really proof we wished on that Now we had to have it. I mean I mean thank you for getting us. You know, The process with all the money and in all the contract, Well, yeah, we really messed up. So don't call us again, please, but for future elections. Member dominion, voting systems, no refunds and has an AIDS a good place. I can take place how bout a so we got. Bird fraud definitely confirms. kids are resident. Election simulator fraud confirm dealt with handled on both counts. Not loading and unloading. The with kids Nickelodeon sorted there right out feeling like we're lacking in the evidence. A little bit were even compared to those accounts, for this view s presidential election by

open minds, mind now I'll I'll, keep up, certainly ready to look at whatever evidence is presented, but so far it hasn't been. Superb super impressive yeah. You know who doesn't love a good expos a radically with how crazy would it be there? It turned out that millions of votes had disappeared, the problems. Right now, just as you said, no, we don't have done, have proof of it, We have to remember that. Yes, all this weird. A girl, Russia will improve and we have to remain The wheat, what did we do have proof of is that you can probably bill a weapon that shoots lighting.
