Podcasts about every vehicle act

Radio, and in particular AM radio, is a critical part of America's emergency communication infrastructure. It's a resource we use to inform the public about states of emergency and other vital information. The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act was introduced to combat the automobile industry and their efforts to rid newly manufactured vehicles of having AM radio accessibility. Bruce Mittman, the General Partner, CEO of Community Broadcasters, will join us this evening to discuss the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act and the importance of protecting radio.Listen to WBZ NewsRadio on the NEW iHeart Radio app and be sure to set WBZ NewsRadio as your #1 preset!

How do we power the rise of AI?  The answer at the moment seems to be nuclear power. Microsoft has partnered with a shuttered nuclear power plant called Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania to bring back its Unit 1 facility. It was shut down in 2019 because of increased competition from cheaper sources such as natural gas, solar, and wind power.  Microsoft says it'll purchase all the power from the plant for 20 years. So, Constellation says it'll spend $1.6 billion to get it back up and running by 2028 – as long as the regulators allow it.   You may know the name Three Mile Island because of a nuclear meltdown at the "Unit 2" site, in 1979.  The US Government could soon force cars to have AM radio  With the rise of internet connected electric vehicles, AM radio has been phased out. Tesla, BMW and Volkswagen promised to remove AM radio saying the electric engines can interfere with the sound of AM radio.   Plus, why do you need it if you can stream Spotify, Pandora, or iHeart? Well, what happens if you're out of a coverage area? What happens if there's an issue with the communications systems? How do you get emergency information? Well, US lawmakers believe the answer was, and is, AM radio. It's got a huge coverage area, even in rural areas, and is integrated with emergency alerting systems. The AM for Every Vehicle Act was overwhelmingly approved by a house committee and will now go before the house for a vote and, if successful, will go to President Biden to sign.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farm Bureau Encourages Support of AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act

AM Radio plays an important part in the lives of rural Americans. Chad Smith has more on the effort to keep AM radios in U.S. automobiles.

The “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act” awaits consideration on the Senate floor.

Lawmakers recently advanced the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act out of a subcommittee, and this year marks the third Firestone Ag sweepstakes, but it will be the first open exclusively for chapters of the National FFA Organization.

It is now H.R. 8449, and is being championed by House Members Gus Bilirakis and Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone Jr. as part of an effort to get it to the finish line. The new, marked-up "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act" surfaced earlier this week, and on Thursday a House Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee markup of three bills included discussion of the legislation that would mandate AM radio availability in all new vehicles sold in the U.S.A host of House E&C Committee Members shared their thoughts on the legislation, with a Congresswoman from Detroit noting that while she clearly supports AM radio, she wants a full understanding of the cost to consumers and her constituents representing the domestic automotive industry's biggest companies.This InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, offers audio highlights from the May 23 session — giving you direct access to the future of kHz-band radio from our elected officials in Washington.With no amendments, the bill was forward to the full committee. From here, the House E&C will schedule a discussion and vote on the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, which would then get a likely floor vote in the full U.S. House of Representatives.

Troy Miller, President & CEO of National Religious Broadcasters discusses the “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2023” that's making its way through Congress. This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a rule that requires all new motor vehicles to have devices that can access AM broadcast stations installed as standard equipment. (AM broadcast stations are often used to deliver emergency alerts and news and entertainment programming; some newer vehicles do not include AM equipment.) NAB spokesman, Alex Siciliano stated, “AM radio is continuing to reach a vast audience of 82 million listeners each month, and they've been very engaged in telling Congress how important this medium is to them in light of the threat by vehicle makers to remove AM from vehicles,”

The National Cattlemen's Beef Association responds to USDA's final Packers and Stockyards rule, and the AM for Every Vehicle Act hits the magic number of 218 voting co-sponsors it needs to ensure passage through the House of Representatives.

He demanded that lawmakers approve his request for tens of billions in military and economic assistance. Republicans have said they are not willing to countenance another major package of aid unless the administration takes action on the southern border. But Biden said Republicans were handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a gift. 'This cannot wait,' he said in a televised address. 'Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday recess, simple as that, frankly.' Biden presses Congress to pass Ukraine aid to prevent Russian win Play 1:24-3:00 He accused Republicans of holding aid 'hostage' over the border and of being willing to 'kneecap' Ukrainian forces on the battlefield But he hinted that he was ready to do a deal with Republicans, even if they would have to accept they were not going to get everything they wanted. Biden's speech came soon after he held a video call with leaders of the Group of Seven advanced democracies, who have all backed Ukraine, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Biden has asked Congress for more than $100 billion to fund conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, as well as other matters of national security. However, Republicans on Capitol Hill have resisted the request, some insisting that Biden first take measures to secure the nation's southern border. The White House has warned repeatedly of the consequences of failing to back Ukraine. In a blunt letter sent to Congress on Monday, Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young wrote: 'We are out of money to support Ukraine in this fight. This isn't a next year problem.

Speaker Mike Johnson promised there would be no funding for Ukraine without 'transformative' border security provisions. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2023/12/us-troops-suing-govt-for-billions-in-backpay-over-covid-vaccine-mandate/ US troops suing gov’t for ‘billions’ in backpay over Covid vaccine mandate In a groundbreaking development, three lawsuits with the potential for a class action suit are being filed on behalf of former United States service members. The service members, represented by attorneys Dale Saran, Andy Meyer, and Brandon Johnson, allege they were unjustly discharged or prevented from drilling, causing significant financial loss, as a result of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate policies. According to Breitbart, the lawsuits, which are currently in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, could involve backpay claims totaling billions of dollars. Saran, a retired Marine, emphasized the massive scale of the compensation, telling Breitbart, “It’s worth billions. That’s just flat-out. That’s what it is in backpay. It’s billions of dollars.” This statement underscores the potential magnitude of the lawsuit’s financial implications for the Department of Defense. The court, with its roots in the Reconstruction Era, is known for handling cases of illegal discharge and pay-related grievances in the military. Saran explained its unique role, saying that the Court of Claims is where service members can go when they have a claim and say, “Hey, I was illegally discharged, or the military did something to impede my pay.” According to Breitbart, the lawsuits allege that 80,000 to 100,000 service members, including both active-duty personnel and reservists, were impacted by the Biden administration’s actions. Saran detailed the lack of due process in the cases, noting, “They were basically [without] the benefit of any due process. No boards were held. They didn’t hold any administrative separation boards; they didn’t hold any hearings. They didn’t do any federal recognition boards; none of the administrative or judicial procedures were used. They just flat-out did it.” One notable case involves former Coast Guard member Zach Loesch, who was commended by President Joe Biden for his heroics during Hurricane Ian but faced discharge for not complying with a vaccine mandate, according to Breitbart. The claims also involve the repayment of enlistment bonuses, adding to the financial stakes. Saran stated, “Not only did they throw them out — unceremoniously [and] wrongfully — now they’re…without a job instantly, no separation pay, none of that. And instead, they’re standing out in the cold, and worse yet, here comes the government…here comes the debt collectors. Now you owe us money.” Saran drew parallels between the current situation with the service members who were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate policies and his past experience defending service members who refused the Anthrax vaccine in the late 1990s. “I did some work on the lawsuit Doe v. Rumsfeld that shut down the anthrax vaccine,” he said. “And so…here we are, second go around again, 15 years in, and we’re right back at the mass vaccination of unlicensed vaccines like the government didn’t learn last time.” According to Saran, those interested in more information about the current lawsuits can learn more at militarybackpay.com. The ongoing legal battle, with cases like Bassen v. USA, Botello v. USA, and Harkins v. USA, marks a significant moment in military legal history, raising questions about due process, financial responsibility, and the broader implications for the rights of U.S. service members. https://www.foxnews.com/world/israel-constructs-large-pumps-flood-hamas-terror-tunnels-seawater-wall-street-journal Israel constructs large pumps to flood Hamas terror tunnels with seawater The Israeli military has assembled several large pumps it could use to flood the Hamas tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip with seawater, driving out terrorists hiding there, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials. Construction of five large seawater pumps was completed in November about one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp. Each pump is capable of drawing water from the Mediterranean Sea and can move thousands of cubic meters of water per hour, which would flood the tunnels within weeks, the report said. Israel has not yet committed to the plan, and it is unclear whether it would attempt to flood the tunnels while there are still hostages, including Americans, held by Hamas. The Palestinian terror group took some 240 people captive during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and brought them back to the Gaza Strip. According to the report, Israel has identified about 800 tunnels beneath Gaza that Hamas has used to move fighters, store weapons and plan terror attacks on Israel. However, Israeli officials believe the tunnel network is much larger. By flooding the tunnels over several weeks, Israel would enable Hamas terrorists and potentially hostages to move out, the outlet reported, citing a source familiar with the plan. "We are not sure how successful pumping will be since nobody knows the details of the tunnels and the ground around them," the source said. "It’s impossible to know if that will be effective because we don’t know how seawater will drain in tunnels no one has been in before." The Wall Street Journal said an Israel Defense Forces official declined to comment on the flooding plan, but said: "The IDF is operating to dismantle Hamas’s terror capabilities in various ways, using different military and technological tools." U.S. officials were informed of the plan last month, the Wall Street Journal reported, but the U.S. does not know how close Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is to executing the plan. Israel has committed to continuing its war effort until Hamas is eradicated in Gaza. The Israeli military said it launched its 10,000th airstrike against the terror group in the Gaza Strip late Sunday. https://thepostmillennial.com/dem-witness-who-cannot-define-what-a-woman-is-says-women-should-learn-to-lose-gracefully-against-trans-athletes?utm_campaign=64487#google_vignette Dem witness who cannot define what a woman is says women should 'learn to lose gracefully' against trans athletes Head of the National Women's Law Center, Fatima Goss Graves, encouraged women who are forced to compete against men in women's sports to "lose gracefully." This she sees as the preferable alternative to keeping men out of women's sports at the scholastic level altogether. She made these remarks at a hearing over Title IX in the US House. "The reality is, that like their peers, trans girls and women, they sometimes lose at sports and sometimes they win. And success in school sports depends on a whole range of factors including how hard you work and coaching and access to really good resources and facilities," Goss Graves said. Goss Graves is married to Matthew Graves, a key prosecutor in J6 cases. She also co-founded Times Up to hold high-profile men accountable for sexual misconduct. She did not address the problems that arise when boys shower in girls locker rooms and expose themselves, or when girls miss out on opportunities because men have taken their places in the winners' circle. https://twitter.com/i/status/1732214013499412976 - Play Video (If you can find it somewhere else that’s fine.) Goss Graves also does not know what a woman is. Or at least she refused to define the term when asked. She was asked in July 2022 by Rep Andrew Clyde - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2Uo111tBKd4?feature=share - Play Video The hearing was to consider changes proposed by the Department of Education to Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The change would prevent schools from having women's or girl's-only sports. It would bring a new understanding and interpretation of Title IX, removing protections for women and girls and changing that to protection against discrimination for gender identity as a protected class. Under those provisions, the male student's stated gender identity would give him the standing to shower with girls and use other facilities that were previously women only. https://thepostmillennial.com/auto-makers-seek-to-remove-am-radio-from-all-new-models?utm_campaign=64487 Automakers seek to remove AM radio from all new models As vehicles become more and more complex, many manufacturers have begun doing away with AM radios, citing concerns that the proximity of electrical components could potentially negatively interact with signals from short-wave broadcasts. While it could be argued that the AM radio one day going the way of the dashboard tape deck was inevitable, the fact that many Americans still tune into, and in some cases rely on, the technology has led to pushback against the companies attempting to omit it from new cars. In May, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ed Markey (D-MA) joined a bipartisan group of their colleagues in the House to introduce the AM for Every Vehicle Act, which, if passed, will direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require manufacturers to ensure AM radio is included free of charge in every model for the foreseeable future. According to a press release that announced the bill in May, eight of the world's 20 leading car makers, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Polestar, Rivian, Tesla, Volkswagen and Volvo, have done away with AM radio in their vehicles. "I would think that if Elon Musk has enough money to buy Twitter and send rockets to space, he can afford to include AM radio in his Teslas," New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer lamented. "Instead, Elon Musk and Tesla and other car manufacturers are putting public safety and emergency response at risk." While many of the bill's proponents cited the use of AM radio for emergency alerts, others pointed out that despite its archaic reputation, it is still an integral part of many people's technology arsenal. Arkansas Rep. Bruce Westerman, for example, said that his constituents "rely on AM broadcast radio for breaking news and entertainment as they make their daily commutes, especially in rural areas where constituents spend a lot of time in their vehicles." As Spectrum News covered, a report from the Center for Automotive Research found that the electromagnetic interference generted by EVs can make the AM signals fuzzy and unlistenable, and that while there is a workaround, it may cost automakers an estimated $3.8 billion over the next seven years.

The court, with its roots in the Reconstruction Era, is known for handling cases of illegal discharge and pay-related grievances in the military. Saran explained its unique role, saying that the Court of Claims is where service members can go when they have a claim and say, “Hey, I was illegally discharged, or the military did something to impede my pay.” According to Breitbart, the lawsuits allege that 80,000 to 100,000 service members, including both active-duty personnel and reservists, were impacted by the Biden administration’s actions. Saran detailed the lack of due process in the cases, noting, “They were basically [without] the benefit of any due process. No boards were held. They didn’t hold any administrative separation boards; they didn’t hold any hearings. They didn’t do any federal recognition boards; none of the administrative or judicial procedures were used. They just flat-out did it.” One notable case involves former Coast Guard member Zach Loesch, who was commended by President Joe Biden for his heroics during Hurricane Ian but faced discharge for not complying with a vaccine mandate, according to Breitbart. The claims also involve the repayment of enlistment bonuses, adding to the financial stakes. Saran stated, “Not only did they throw them out — unceremoniously [and] wrongfully — now they’re…without a job instantly, no separation pay, none of that. And instead, they’re standing out in the cold, and worse yet, here comes the government…here comes the debt collectors. Now you owe us money.” Saran drew parallels between the current situation with the service members who were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate policies and his past experience defending service members who refused the Anthrax vaccine in the late 1990s. “I did some work on the lawsuit Doe v. Rumsfeld that shut down the anthrax vaccine,” he said. “And so…here we are, second go around again, 15 years in, and we’re right back at the mass vaccination of unlicensed vaccines like the government didn’t learn last time.” According to Saran, those interested in more information about the current lawsuits can learn more at militarybackpay.com. The ongoing legal battle, with cases like Bassen v. USA, Botello v. USA, and Harkins v. USA, marks a significant moment in military legal history, raising questions about due process, financial responsibility, and the broader implications for the rights of U.S. service members. https://www.foxnews.com/world/israel-constructs-large-pumps-flood-hamas-terror-tunnels-seawater-wall-street-journal Israel constructs large pumps to flood Hamas terror tunnels with seawater The Israeli military has assembled several large pumps it could use to flood the Hamas tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip with seawater, driving out terrorists hiding there, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials. Construction of five large seawater pumps was completed in November about one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp. Each pump is capable of drawing water from the Mediterranean Sea and can move thousands of cubic meters of water per hour, which would flood the tunnels within weeks, the report said. Israel has not yet committed to the plan, and it is unclear whether it would attempt to flood the tunnels while there are still hostages, including Americans, held by Hamas. The Palestinian terror group took some 240 people captive during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and brought them back to the Gaza Strip. According to the report, Israel has identified about 800 tunnels beneath Gaza that Hamas has used to move fighters, store weapons and plan terror attacks on Israel. However, Israeli officials believe the tunnel network is much larger. By flooding the tunnels over several weeks, Israel would enable Hamas terrorists and potentially hostages to move out, the outlet reported, citing a source familiar with the plan. "We are not sure how successful pumping will be since nobody knows the details of the tunnels and the ground around them," the source said. "It’s impossible to know if that will be effective because we don’t know how seawater will drain in tunnels no one has been in before." The Wall Street Journal said an Israel Defense Forces official declined to comment on the flooding plan, but said: "The IDF is operating to dismantle Hamas’s terror capabilities in various ways, using different military and technological tools." U.S. officials were informed of the plan last month, the Wall Street Journal reported, but the U.S. does not know how close Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is to executing the plan. Israel has committed to continuing its war effort until Hamas is eradicated in Gaza. The Israeli military said it launched its 10,000th airstrike against the terror group in the Gaza Strip late Sunday. https://thepostmillennial.com/dem-witness-who-cannot-define-what-a-woman-is-says-women-should-learn-to-lose-gracefully-against-trans-athletes?utm_campaign=64487#google_vignette Dem witness who cannot define what a woman is says women should 'learn to lose gracefully' against trans athletes Head of the National Women's Law Center, Fatima Goss Graves, encouraged women who are forced to compete against men in women's sports to "lose gracefully." This she sees as the preferable alternative to keeping men out of women's sports at the scholastic level altogether. She made these remarks at a hearing over Title IX in the US House. "The reality is, that like their peers, trans girls and women, they sometimes lose at sports and sometimes they win. And success in school sports depends on a whole range of factors including how hard you work and coaching and access to really good resources and facilities," Goss Graves said. Goss Graves is married to Matthew Graves, a key prosecutor in J6 cases. She also co-founded Times Up to hold high-profile men accountable for sexual misconduct. She did not address the problems that arise when boys shower in girls locker rooms and expose themselves, or when girls miss out on opportunities because men have taken their places in the winners' circle. https://twitter.com/i/status/1732214013499412976 - Play Video (If you can find it somewhere else that’s fine.) Goss Graves also does not know what a woman is. Or at least she refused to define the term when asked. She was asked in July 2022 by Rep Andrew Clyde - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2Uo111tBKd4?feature=share - Play Video The hearing was to consider changes proposed by the Department of Education to Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The change would prevent schools from having women's or girl's-only sports. It would bring a new understanding and interpretation of Title IX, removing protections for women and girls and changing that to protection against discrimination for gender identity as a protected class. Under those provisions, the male student's stated gender identity would give him the standing to shower with girls and use other facilities that were previously women only. https://thepostmillennial.com/auto-makers-seek-to-remove-am-radio-from-all-new-models?utm_campaign=64487 Automakers seek to remove AM radio from all new models As vehicles become more and more complex, many manufacturers have begun doing away with AM radios, citing concerns that the proximity of electrical components could potentially negatively interact with signals from short-wave broadcasts. While it could be argued that the AM radio one day going the way of the dashboard tape deck was inevitable, the fact that many Americans still tune into, and in some cases rely on, the technology has led to pushback against the companies attempting to omit it from new cars. In May, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ed Markey (D-MA) joined a bipartisan group of their colleagues in the House to introduce the AM for Every Vehicle Act, which, if passed, will direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require manufacturers to ensure AM radio is included free of charge in every model for the foreseeable future. According to a press release that announced the bill in May, eight of the world's 20 leading car makers, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Polestar, Rivian, Tesla, Volkswagen and Volvo, have done away with AM radio in their vehicles. "I would think that if Elon Musk has enough money to buy Twitter and send rockets to space, he can afford to include AM radio in his Teslas," New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer lamented. "Instead, Elon Musk and Tesla and other car manufacturers are putting public safety and emergency response at risk." While many of the bill's proponents cited the use of AM radio for emergency alerts, others pointed out that despite its archaic reputation, it is still an integral part of many people's technology arsenal. Arkansas Rep. Bruce Westerman, for example, said that his constituents "rely on AM broadcast radio for breaking news and entertainment as they make their daily commutes, especially in rural areas where constituents spend a lot of time in their vehicles." As Spectrum News covered, a report from the Center for Automotive Research found that the electromagnetic interference generted by EVs can make the AM signals fuzzy and unlistenable, and that while there is a workaround, it may cost automakers an estimated $3.8 billion over the next seven years.

This week Senator Ted Cruz took to the Senate Floor to pass the AM for Every Vehicle Act by unanimous consent. However, Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, objected, blocking the effort to circumvent a full Senate vote.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 22 at 2:30 p.m. CT: NEW YORK (AP) — Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted, accused of using his foreign affairs influence to help Egypt in return for bribes from the authoritarian regime. He says he's been falsely accused and won't be “distracted” from Senate work. Menendez was charged with his wife on Friday. A lawyer for her says she'll ”vigorously contest these charges in court.” Prosecutors say a search of the couple's home found $100,000 in gold bars and $480,000 in hidden cash. Menendez will have to step down as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee now that he's been indicted. The indictment alleges Menendez provided sensitive U.S. government information and took other steps to secretly help Egypt. Auto workers have expanded their strike against major carmakers, walking out of 38 General Motors and Stellantis parts-distribution centers in 20 states. In announcing the strike's expansion Friday, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said Ford was spared additional strikes because the company has met some of the union's demands during negotiations over the past week. The union is pointing to the companies' huge recent profits as it seeks wage increases of 36% over four years. The companies have offered a little over half that amount. The UAW has other demands, including a 32-hour work week for 40 hours of pay and a restoration of traditional pension plans for newer workers. WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is preparing to direct federal agencies to get ready for a shutdown after House Republicans left town for the weekend with no viable plan to keep the government funded. Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Friday the House would return next week to start voting on the latest plan. He has just five days until the Sept. 30 deadline. A hard-right flank of Republicans has essentially seized control and is demanding spending cuts. The Republican McCarthy was unable to convince his rebellious flank to approve a temporary funding measure to prevent closures. Instead, House Republicans will try Tuesday to pass some of the individual spending bills in a typically lengthy process. KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Ukrainian missile struck the headquarters of Russia's navy in Crimea. The Russian Defense Ministry initially said one servicemember was killed in the Friday attack, but then issued a statement saying he was missing. Images posted on social media showed plumes of smoke over the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in the city of Sevastopol. Russia said five missiles were shot down by its air defense systems responding to the attack. The attack comes a day after Russian missiles and artillery pounded cities across Ukraine, killing at least five people. Military experts say it is essential for Ukraine to keep up its attacks on targets in Crimea to degrade Russian morale. HANGZHOU, China (AP) — In the first Asian Games since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, two teams of athletes are arriving in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, looking very different. One, sent from Afghanistan where women are now banned by the Taliban from participating in sports, consists of about 130 all-male athletes, a Taliban-appointed spokesman for the Afghanistan's Olympic Committee, told The Associated Press. Another, competing under the black, red and green flag of the elected government the Taliban toppled in 2021, is drawn from the diaspora of Afghan athletes around the world, and includes 17 women. SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Another member of K-pop supergroup BTS has begun his mandatory military service in South Korea. Suga started serving on Friday as a social service agent, an alternative form of military service in the country. The 30-year-old is the group's third member to start carrying out military service. The two others, Jin and J-Hope, are already performing active service at army bases. In South Korea, all able-bodied men must serve in the military for 18 to 21 months. Individuals with physical and mental issues can instead carry out their duties at non-military facilities such as welfare centers, community service centers and post offices. Local media reported Suga's alternative service was likely related to a shoulder surgery. WASHINGTON (AP) — A Maryland man who attacked an Associated Press photographer and threw a flagpole and smoke grenade at police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to five years in prison. Prosecutors say 56-year-old Rodney Milstreed prepared himself for violence on Jan. 6 by injecting steroids and arming himself with a four-foot wooden club disguised as a flagpole. Before U.S. District Judge James Boasberg sentenced Milstreed on Friday, a prosecutor showed videos of the rioter's attacks on the photographer and police. A Capitol police officer suffered a concussion when Milstreed hurled his wooded club at a line of officers. Amazon's Prime Video will begin showing adds during shows and movies early next year, joining other streaming services that have added different tiers of subscriptions. The company said Friday that members of Amazon Prime can pay $2.99 per month in the U.S. to keep their service ad-free. Amazon says limited advertisements will be aired during shows and movies starting early next year so that it can “continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time.” Ads in Prime Video content will start in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada in early 2024, followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year. MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pfizer and Moderna say they have sent out millions of doses of the new COVID-19 vaccines in the past week. But availability depends on where you live.

Some pharmacies have canceled appointments at the last minute because of supply issues. Others are still waiting for their first doses. NEW YORK (AP) — Many baseball fans, especially older ones, originally fell in love with America's pastime by listening to ballgames on AM radio. In fact, next month will mark the 100th anniversary of the first World Series broadcast to a national radio audience. But a century later, some consider AM stations a dying medium in the modern age of digital technology. Several major automakers are eliminating broadcast AM radio from newer models, prompting lawmakers on Capitol Hill to propose legislation that would prevent the practice for safety and other reasons. A bill with bipartisan support, the “AM for Every Vehicle Act” is winding its way through Congress. In the meantime, there's no denying the profound impact AM radio has had on the growth and popularity of baseball through the years. HARDIN, Mont.

Senator Amy Klobuchar is one of the co-sponsors of the AM for Every Vehicle Act. The Minnesota Democrat says the bipartisan legislation would direct regulators to require automakers to maintain AM broadcast radio in new vehicles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Owners of new Ford vehicles will be able to tune in to AM radio in their cars, trucks and SUVs after all. CEO Jim Farley wrote in social media postings that the company is reversing a decision to scrub the band after speaking with government policy leaders who are concerned about keeping emergency alerts that often are sounded on AM stations. The move comes after a bipartisan group of federal lawmakers introduced a bill calling on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require AM in new vehicles at no additional cost. Sponsors of the “AM for Every Vehicle Act” cited public safety concerns, noting AM's historic role in transmitting vital information during emergencies, such as natural disasters, especially to rural areas. Sen. Edward Markey, one of the bill's sponsors, has said eight of 20 major automakers including Ford, BMW and Tesla have pulled the band from new vehicles. “Ford's reversal reflects an overdue realization about the importance of AM radio, but too many automakers are still going the wrong direction,” Markey said in a written statement. He said Congress should still pass the bill to keep access to the band. Ford removed AM from the 2023 Mustang Mach-e and F-150 Lightning electric pickups after data collected from vehicles showed that less than 5% of customers listened to it, spokesman Alan Hall said. Electrical interference and reducing cost and manufacturing complexity also played a role. The company also took it out of the 2024 gasoline-powered Mustang, but will add it back in before any of the muscle cars are delivered, Hall said. The EVs will get an online software update to put AM back into the vehicles, and Ford will keep including it in future vehicles as it looks at innovative ways to deliver emergency alerts, Hall said. Ford and others also suggested that internet radio or other communication tools could replace AM radio. But Markey and others pointed to situations where drivers might not have internet access. But the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a U.S. trade group that represents major automakers including Ford and BMW, criticized the bill, calling the AM radio mandate unnecessary. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

AM radio has been a cornerstone of emergency communication, providing vital information during public emergencies and disasters. However, as electric vehicles gain popularity, major automobile manufacturers are gradually phasing out AM radio. Let's delve deeper into the critical role of AM radio in emergency communication, explore the reasons behind car manufacturers' reluctance to include it in electric vehicles, and expand on the ongoing debate surrounding the AM for Every Vehicle Act.The Importance of AM Radio in Emergency CommunicationAM radio has established its reputation as a reliable and indispensable medium for emergency communication, consistently delivering real-time updates and critical information to communities during times of crisis. One of the key strengths of AM radio lies in its extensive coverage area, which allows it to reach a wide audience across vast geographical regions. Unlike other communication services that may have limitations or face disruptions, AM radio operates on a long wavelength that enables its signals to travel long distances and penetrate obstacles such as buildings and rough terrain. As a result, even in remote or rural areas with limited infrastructure, AM radio can provide a lifeline of information to residents during emergencies.Another advantage of AM radio is the simplicity of its receivers. Unlike more complex communication technologies that require internet connectivity or smartphone usage, AM radios are widely accessible and easy to use. This simplicity is crucial during emergencies when power outages or disruptions may render advanced devices inoperable. In such situations, AM radios powered car batteries become invaluable tools, ensuring that individuals can receive essential updates and instructions regardless of the availability of electricity or internet access.Emergency managers and authorities rely heavily on AM radio to transmit alerts and instructions to the public. Critical information can be disseminated swiftly and efficiently through designated emergency broadcast stations, reaching a broad audience. AM radio acts as a unifying platform that bridges gaps in communication during disasters, enabling emergency managers to convey evacuation orders, weather warnings, public safety announcements, and other vital instructions. This direct communication channel is essential when other communication systems, such as cell phone networks or internet-based platforms, become overloaded or fail due to increased usage or infrastructure damage.Moreover, AM radio plays a crucial role in areas where internet access or smartphone usage is limited. This is especially significant for rural communities and underserved populations facing connectivity challenges. AM radio is a primary source of news, information, and emergency alerts in these regions. It ensures that individuals without reliable internet or smartphones can stay informed and make informed decisions during critical situations. Additionally, studies have shown that many AM radio users belong to the older demographic, who may be less likely to utilize internet-based communication methods. AM radio remains a trusted and familiar medium for these individuals, keeping them connected to their communities and providing important updates during emergencies.The reliability and effectiveness of AM radio in emergency communication cannot be overstated. Its extensive coverage, resilience in the face of disruptions, and simplicity of receivers make it an essential tool for transmitting real-time updates and critical information to communities during crises. As technology evolves, it is vital to recognize the continued importance of AM radio as a backup communication system, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their access to advanced devices or connectivity, can stay informed and safe during emergencies.Car Manufacturers' Reluctance and ConcernsNumerous automobile manufacturers, including BMW, Mazda, Tesla, Volkswagen, Volvo, Polestar, and Rivian, have decided to remove AM radio from their electric vehicle models. These manufacturers argue that the interference caused by electric car batteries adversely affects AM radio transmissions. The complex electrical systems and high-frequency noise generated by electric motors can disrupt the reception of AM signals.Additionally, car manufacturers contend that alternative methods of disseminating emergency alerts, such as smartphone applications and internet-based platforms, can adequately replace the role of AM radio. They believe that advancements in technology have opened up new avenues for emergency communication, rendering the physical inclusion of AM radio in vehicles unnecessary.Legislation and the AM for Every Vehicle ActThe AM for Every Vehicle Act has garnered bipartisan support in Congress in response to the removal of AM radio from electric vehicles. The proposed legislation seeks to mandate the inclusion of AM radio in all new cars without imposing additional costs on consumers. Lawmakers backing the bill aim to preserve AM radio's critical emergency communication network, ensuring that individuals can access essential information during emergencies.Proponents of the AM for Every Vehicle Act argue that the interference concerns raised by car manufacturers can be addressed through technological advancements. They highlight the importance of maintaining a robust national emergency communication infrastructure, especially when other communication channels become compromised or unavailable.Debating the Inclusion of AM Radio in Electric VehiclesThe Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an industry trade group, opposes the inclusion of AM radio in electric vehicles, asserting that emergency alerts can be effectively delivered through various alternative channels. The group questions the necessity of physically including AM radio in vehicles, emphasizing that existing warning systems can adequately reach individuals without solely relying on this medium.However, proponents of the AM for Every Vehicle Act stress the necessity of preserving AM radio for public safety reasons. Lt. Col. Christopher DeMaise of the New Jersey State Police highlights the increasing frequency of severe weather events, cybercrimes, active shooter incidents, and terrorist threats, emphasizing the critical role of an effective 'alert and warning' system in safeguarding the public.While the automobile industry continues to phase out AM radio from electric vehicles due to concerns about interference, the AM for Every Vehicle Act has emerged as a bipartisan effort to mandate its inclusion. Advocates stress the indispensable role of AM radio in emergency communication, particularly during public emergencies and for underserved communities. Striking a balance between the evolving automotive landscape and the critical need for a robust emergency communication infrastructure requires careful consideration of technological advancements and the unique needs of various populations.As the debate surrounding the inclusion of AM radio in electric vehicles unfolds, it is essential to recognize the evolving landscape of automotive technology. Car manufacturers are constantly striving to improve the efficiency and performance of electric vehicles, which has led to the development of complex electrical systems and advanced battery technologies.

Researchers and engineers can work collaboratively to develop innovative approaches to mitigate the interference caused by electric car batteries. Shielding techniques, filtering mechanisms, and enhanced receiver designs could minimize the disruption of AM radio signals, allowing for their seamless integration into electric vehicles.Furthermore, advancements in digital broadcasting technology can be leveraged to enhance the compatibility of AM radio with electric vehicles. Digital AM broadcasting, such as HD Radio, offers improved sound quality and reduced susceptibility to interference. By promoting the adoption of digital AM radio standards, the automotive industry can ensure that electric vehicles remain compatible with emergency communication systems while meeting the demands of modern consumers.However, it is crucial to recognize that while alternative communication channels such as smartphone applications and internet-based platforms have gained popularity, they are not infallible. These digital systems can become overwhelmed during emergencies, especially in areas with limited connectivity or widespread power outages. With its broad coverage and simplicity, AM radio continues to serve as a reliable backup communication method that reaches a wide audience, including those using the internet or smartphones.The ongoing debate regarding including AM radio in electric vehicles revolves around striking a balance between technological advancements and the critical role that AM radio plays in emergency communication. While car manufacturers have expressed concerns about interference, addressing these challenges through technological solutions is imperative rather than completely phasing out AM radio. The AM for Every Vehicle Act reflects the bipartisan support for preserving the vital emergency communication network AM radio provides. By considering the unique needs of different populations, harnessing technological innovations, and ensuring a robust national emergency communication infrastructure, we can maintain the reliability of AM radio while embracing the future of electric vehicles.Supporters This is a public episode.
