New Year Same Bullshit...actually worse. Nothing like kicking off 2026 with an unhinged Trump kidnapping a foreign leader for oil. Nice. Topics for the show: There used to be rules for this shit. The US's foreign wars and policy has always been problematic but there used to be some sort of process and at least attempt to go through the proper channels. This has completely deteriorated over the last 2 decades and we end up with the mess Trump just created The US isn't on a way to becoming a surveillance state...it already is one...thanks to private companies like Flock Safety If you're gonna spy on people the least you could do would be to secure the cameras so anyone could watch them...right? Politico's interview with Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley shows how absolutely terrible these CEOs are Denver's city council votes to cancel it's contract with Flock Safety only to be overruled by the mayor Apparently if you point out and track Flock cameras you're now a terrorist organization Pay Day loans are back and worse than ever Bonus....Tech Companies have found more loopholes around anti-trust laws by just entering licensing agreements then hiring all the people from the company they want to acquire.

What if America tried to eliminate crime instead of just reacting to it? Not with slogans, but with staffing, technology, and strategy scaled to the problem. In this episode, Erik Torenberg speaks with Garrett Langley, founder and CEO of Flock Safety, and Ben Horowitz, cofounder of a16z, about what is happening in the cities that are trying. Flock now works with over 5,000 communities to detect crime, recover missing children, and close cases faster than ever. Ben has been closely involved in Las Vegas, where Flock technology, drones, and community policing have raised clearance rates while reducing use of force. They outline what a real national crime-reduction strategy could look like: solving the police staffing crisis, using intelligence to make policing safer, understanding why clearance rates have collapsed, and how public–private partnerships are filling gaps cities cannot. They also tackle the hard questions around privacy, criminal justice failures, and the hidden role of organized crime in everyday offenses.

Law enforcement agencies across Oregon and Washington use automated license plate readers to identify vehicles and manage traffic. Many of those cameras are run by a company called Flock Safety, which has been criticized for sharing data with immigration officials. A new study from the University of Washington’s Center for Human Rights found that U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have access to Flock license plate data from at least 18 of 31 law enforcement agencies in WA state. Phil Neff, the coordinator for the UW Center for Human Rights, joins us to discuss the research.
It's Hump Day on the Majority Report On today's program: Aftyn Behn outperforms expectations in the special election for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, a result that could signal trouble for the GOP heading into the 2026 midterms. Jessica Burbank, a contributor to Drop Site News, joins Sam and Emma to discuss Flock Safety—a Peter Thiel–funded, AI-powered surveillance company that is building an unregulated nationwide monitoring network in potential violation of the Fourth Amendment. Checkout Jessica's piece for Drop Site News and accompanying documentary on YouTube. K. Sabeel Rahman, professor of law at Cornell University, joins the program to discuss his piece in Dissent magazine, "The Case for a Third Reconstruction". In the Fun Half: Trump convenes a chaotic Cabinet meeting; one he slept through for the most part, waking only to unleash racist attacks on Somali refugees. Meanwhile, Hegseth keeps trying to pass responsibility for his war crimes to Admiral Bradley. Peter Thiel's guru, Curtis Yarvin shares his nazi "origin story" Sam and Emma take a look at the Trailer for "The Voice of Hind Rajab", a docudrama that follows the Red Crescent response to the killing of the five-year-old Palestinian girl. Hillary Clinton blames TikTok for ruining Israel's reputation. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

Joining me today is Derrick Broze, here to discuss his recent series, The Technocratic Trump Administration, as well as his latest update on the Fluoride Lawsuit—regarding the Trump administration's efforts to continue appealing the historic ruling that would help Make America Healthy Again. We unpack the confounding and hypocritical actions of Trump's cabinet around both topics, and how the partisan base supporting any politician in the two-party illusion is used to gaslight and "flood the zone." We also dive into the current status of the Epstein debacle, and the ever-growing control grid being built around us. !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble"); Rumble("play", {"video":"v703jre","div":"rumble_v703jre"}); Source Links: The Last American Vagabond Derrick Broze, Author at The Last American Vagabond The Pyramid of Power Crowdsource Effort! - The Conscious Resistance Network The Pyramid Of Power - The Pyramid of Power Crowdsource Effort! - The Conscious Resistance Network New Tab (22) Catherine Herridge on X: "Straight to the Point Exclusive: FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash said FBI is working with DOJ to meet the Epstein Files Transparency Act 30 day deadline to produce records.

A big controversy is gripping many Washington towns right now: automated license plate readers. Flock Safety, a technology and surveillance company, operates cameras in cities and counties across the nation. Those license plate readers take pictures of vehicles and their license plates – pictures that can be used by police to solve crimes. But questions about who has access to the cameras is leading several jurisdictions to turn off their automated licence plate readers.

[00:06:28] – ICE's Domestic Surveillance EmpireKnight exposes ICE's $1.4 billion surveillance expansion under Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” He details contracts for facial recognition, smartphone spyware, and nationwide license plate tracking through private firms like Flock Safety—arguing it merges corporate spying with state power to create a total surveillance grid under the illusion of border security. [00:14:31] – The Antifa Pretext for Total ControlKnight explains how Trump's executive order designating Antifa as a terrorist group became the legal precedent for labeling political dissent as terrorism. He says both parties now exploit “terror” labels to justify domestic warfare against citizens and erase due process under the banner of national security. [00:33:26] – Chaos Economics & Argentina FirstKnight blasts Trump's contradictory trade policies—tariffs, bailouts, and central planning—that reward Argentina while destroying American markets. He argues Trump's policies prove that “America First” has morphed into “Argentina First,” serving foreign economies at the expense of U.S. farmers and sovereignty. [00:59:11] – Local News RevolutionKnight interviews YourNews.com founder Sam Anthony about rebuilding journalism from the ground up. The platform empowers citizens to publish and monetize local reporting, creating a free-speech alternative to collapsing corporate media monopolies. [01:53:21] – AI Abuse & Technocratic SlaveryKnight reveals that AI firms exploit cheap foreign labor to label violent and graphic images for training datasets. He calls it the “digital sweatshop of the technocracy,” arguing that elites are building artificial intelligence on human suffering while preparing to enslave the public under digital IDs and algorithmic control. [02:04:12] – Gold Chaos & The Silver ShortageTony Arterburn joins to discuss gold and silver volatility, India's silver crisis, and central banks hoarding precious metals. They frame the metals market as a barometer of global instability, arguing that physical assets remain the last defense against fiat collapse and digital currency tyranny. [02:49:40] – Europe's War Fever & The Coming CollapseKnight exposes NATO and EU plans for a war with Russia by 2028, calling it “government-assisted suicide.” He argues Western elites are manufacturing war to distract from economic collapse and civil unrest, while globalists like Steve Bannon fantasize about a permanent Trump regime to manage the chaos.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News update, we have 3 stories for you: Amazon resumes operations after two drones crash into a crane, Flock Safety launches Aerodome Drone as Automated Security, and Phase One releases a 247MP camera! First up, Amazon Prime Air has resumed delivery flights after two of its MK30 aircraft collided with a mobile crane in Tolleson, Arizona. The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 1st when a construction crane was doing roofing work at a business. The two drones impacted the crane a few minutes apart, with one falling to the ground and catching on fire. Both the FAA and NTSB have begun investigations. Amazon resumed operations on Friday, October 3rd, raising questions about whether Amazon is prioritizing conducting operations over safety. According to DroneXL, this incident is the 4th reported crash this year by an Amazon MK30, and the second time the system has been grounded. In January, Amazon halted operations after two MK30s crashed during testing in Oregon due to faulty LiDAR programming. This event hasn't yet hit the NTSB's CAROL database, but we'll likely get more information if or when it does. Next up, Flock Safety has released their Aerodome Drone as Automated Security (DAS). This system is designed to be a turn-key solution for security patrols. This is a separate product and mission profile from Drones as First Responder, and caters to the private entity looking for a similar solution. It appears that Flock is using the DJI Dock 3 and the Matrice 4D, with Flock's own back-end deployment software. The system also integrates with Flock's ecosystem through FlockOS, allowing private entities to utilize alarm panels, video management systems, license plate readers, and audio sensors. Way to diversify! Last up this week, Phase One has released a 247MP photogrammetry camera! If you're unfamiliar with Phase One, they've been a well-known name in the mapping space for their high-megapixel cameras. This week they released the iXM-RS250, with a resolution of 19,200×12,800 pixels and a new IIQ-X compression format, which reduces file size by 90% when compared to 16-bit TIFFs. The new camera is also said to reduce mapping times by 30% compared to previous systems. For those operators who fly large missions and deal with terabytes of data, this could be a game-changer. The iXM-RS250 is immediately compatible with the DJI Matrice 400, and features a USB 3.0 and 10G ethernet for other systems. At this time, Phase One has not released any pricing for the iXM-RS250, but it's safe to say it'll be pricey! And on Post Flight, our show where we share our opinions, we won't be talking about part 108… We will be discussing these stories and Sikorsky, who has released an entire family of VTOL drones. Have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week! https://dronexl.co/2025/10/08/phase-one-247mp-drone-camera-intergeo/https://dronexl.co/2025/10/03/amazon-resumes-drone-deliveries-days-after-tolleson-crane-crash-and-fire/https://dronexl.co/2025/09/30/flock-safety-aerodome-das-drone-security/

Flock Safety cameras across Virginia weren't meant to be used for immigration enforcement. But they were. You can read the full report from the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism at WHRO on our website.

Denver's City Council has voted unanimously to end its $666,000 contract with Flock Safety, the company behind the city's automated license plate reader system. The high-tech surveillance tool helped recover 170 stolen cars and led to 300 arrests, aiding investigations into serious crimes like hit-and-runs and homicides.So why end it?City leaders cite growing concerns about federal immigration enforcement, especially the possibility that ICE could use the data to track and deport undocumented immigrants. The move has sparked major controversy — critics say the council is putting immigration politics above public safety, while supporters argue it's about protecting civil liberties in an era of aggressive federal surveillance.

“Traditional license plate readers were developed in the 1950s and 60s,” says this week's guest, Garrett Langley of Flock Safety. “But you can go into Flock and say I'm looking for a black Sedan with after-market tires and a dent on the left corner, and we will find that car.” Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter, along with Citizen Co-founder Larry Platt, chat with Langley about his innovative and cost-saving approach to public safety, which made national headlines last year by promptly apprehending a would-be Trump assassin and an Atlanta mass shooter. After being the victim of a robbery in his own neighborhood, Langley reimagined vehicle surveillance and built a company that operates alongside thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. “I love citizen entrepreneurs who are in the civic problem-solving business,” Platt told the mayors. “That's who this guy is.” Join us for a deep dive into an idea that keeps cities safer while avoiding the typical pitfalls of street surveillance. Remember to subscribe to the podcast to keep up on all the latest episodes. You can even watch the conversation play out on YouTube. As cities go, so goes the nation!
Law enforcement technology is evolving fast, transforming how agencies prevent and tackle crime. With cutting-edge tools like license plate recognition, gunshot detection, and drone-first responders, officers now have real-time intelligence at their fingertips. Leading the charge is Flock Safety, redefining public safety to create safer communities. Founder & CEO Garrett Langley goes Inside the ICE House to share how his company is driving innovation and fighting to make crime a thing of the past. https://www.ice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house
