Concerns include gaps in the investigation, such as uncollected security footage and unanswered questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The family and NAACP cite historical distrust between the Black community and law enforcement, drawing parallels to past cases like Ahmaud Arbery. They are urging Governor Kemp to order a transparent, independent review to uncover the full truth.

Her family eventually regained stability, buying a home through the program’s support. Years later, Potra’s perspective shifted, recognizing Family Promise’s role in helping families rebuild.

Technology is a double-edged sword. It can empower us, connect us, and solve problems, but it can also be used to exploit, manipulate, and harm. When it comes to protecting children online, that line gets especially thin. Digital forensics, AI-powered image classification, and global law enforcement collaboration are now essential tools for keeping families safe in a world that moves faster than most of us can keep up. Debbie Garner knows this world intimately. She's a retired Special Agent in charge with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and former commander of the state's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. For years she led efforts to track down online predators and bring justice to survivors. These days she's working in the private sector, serving on the boards of Raven and Revere Technologies, pushing for smarter tech solutions and stronger training to support those still on the front lines. In this episode we talk about the growing problem of online child exploitation, the reality of underfunded cybercrime units and the ways technology is being used to fight back. Whether you're a parent, an educator or just someone who cares about kids online, you need to hear this. Show Notes: [00:58] Debbie shares her law enforcement background over 30 years. She even worked undercover buying crack! [02:19] She spent the last 8 years of her career as the Supervisor Special Agent in charge of GBI's Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit. [02:45] Now that she's retired from law enforcement, she works in the private sector with technology companies. [05:36] It's become her passion, even in retirement, to help those who are victims of exploitation. [07:09] Most children are victimized by someone they know. There's also plenty of predators online. [08:55] There are multiple organizations that work on child exploitation investigations. [10:53] People in law enforcement do tend to prioritize these types of crimes. [12:12] We talk about how the investigations begin. [13:53] Cases have increased from 2400 tips a year to over 30,000. [15:17] There's never enough technology to keep up with the increase. [16:41] RAVEN is a lobbying group to request additional funding from Congress. [18:33] With over 30,000 tips last year Georgia made over 450 arrests. [22:13] There's now technology that will help find CSAM on phones. There are also some amazing investigations on the dark web. [25:15] OSINT is helping investigate and it's a collaborative community. [27:55] Channels to report exploitation. Start with the platform, then National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and law enforcement. [31:34] Don't put images on the internet. Websites like Take It Down can help with images of underage people and Take It Down can help adults. [33:43] Always mention if the person is underage when you make a report. [34:10] Talk to your kids and start early with age appropriate conversations about CSAM. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey. Be sure to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and leave a nice review.

The video shows the twins casually eating snacks and drinking water, with no signs of distress. Questions remain about how they accessed the closed park and the timeline of their deaths. The case has also faced controversy after a firefighter shared scene photos, leading to their dismissal.

Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., has been confirmed as director of the federal Small Business Administration in a 52-46 Senate vote. Loeffler, previously appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Gov. Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A former CEO and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, she is married to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange.

Gwinnett police reported the incident occurred on Sugarloaf Parkway just before noon. Stewart was shot in the back and later died at a hospital.

STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote. Break 3: GCPS STORY 6: Officials Release Sketch To Help Identify Missing Remains Found In Gwinnett County Lawrenceville Police released a sketch to identify human remains found near Georgia Highway 316 and Duluth Highway on Feb. 10.

BREAK: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 1: Cobb Court Clerk Plans to Return $84K in Passport Shipping Fees Cobb Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor plans to refund nearly $84,000 in improperly collected passport shipping fees, a controversy stemming from her pocketing expedited shipping charges, which is not allowed under state law. This refund, pending board approval, follows years of scrutiny over Taylor’s collection of over $425,000 in passport fees as personal income. The issue also sparked a Georgia Bureau of Investigation probe and legislative efforts to increase transparency. Taylor’s office has faced additional criticism for severe dysfunction, including a botched software change in 2024 that disrupted court operations. Despite these challenges, Taylor was reelected in 2024. STORY 2: Historic McAfee House Sold for $1, will be Relocated The historic Robert McAfee house, built in the 1840s, will be relocated to Ball Ground, Georgia, after being sold for $1 by Cobb Landmarks to Lee and Brittani Lusk, experienced renovators of historic homes. The Lusks plan to restore the home as a private residence, adhering to historic preservation standards. The move, costing an estimated $75,000-$100,000, with renovations around $200,000, must be completed by May 15. Originally located in Cobb County, the house has significant historical value, including its use as a Civil War headquarters. A preservation easement will protect its historic integrity. STORY 3: Cobb Eyes 2026 SPLOST Vote Cobb County is considering a new 1% SPLOST package to fund infrastructure starting in 2028, with voters deciding in November 2026. The current $750 million SPLOST cycle ends in December 2027. Commissioners aim to finalize project lists by April 2026, focusing on road improvements, stormwater infrastructure, sidewalks, and community projects. Rising costs from inflation may push unfinished 2022 SPLOST projects into the new package. Public feedback sessions are planned for early 2026. If approved, the tax would continue funding critical county needs like transportation and parks. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

In the aftermath of the tragic Georgia school shooting that claimed the lives of two students and two teachers, the maternal grandfather of the alleged shooter, Colt Gray, expressed his belief that his former son-in-law, Colin Gray, "got what he deserved" after being charged in connection with the incident. Colin Gray, 54, has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children. His 14-year-old son, Colt, is accused of opening fire at Apalachee High School, killing 14-year-old students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, along with math teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie. Authorities allege Colin Gray knowingly allowed his son to possess the AR-15-style rifle used in the shooting. Colt Gray is currently facing multiple murder charges. Speaking to the New York Post, Colt's grandfather, Charles Polhamus, did not hold back in his criticism of Colin Gray. “Colt has to pay for what he did, but he was driven by his father to do it. [Colin Gray] got what he deserved,” Polhamus said, adding that his former son-in-law's volatile behavior contributed to Colt's actions. Polhamus also described a toxic household, where Colin Gray allegedly screamed and berated his family for over a decade. He further revealed that Colin struggled with drug addiction, which led to the family losing their farm and financial stability. Reports also indicate a turbulent home life for Colt Gray. Neighbor Lauren Vickers told the New York Post that there was "contact abuse" in the household, recalling nights when Colt and his sister were locked out of the house. Colt's mother, Marcee Gray, also battled drug addiction and reportedly tried to warn the school about her son's emotional state the morning of the shooting. Text messages seen by The Washington Post show Marcee reached out to the school, warning of an "extreme emergency" involving her son. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed Colin Gray's arrest, stating, "He knowingly allowed his son, Colt, to have the weapon." In response to the incident, Barrow County School Superintendent Dallas LeDuff said the focus is now on supporting the grieving community. Authorities had previously investigated Colt in May 2023 for a threatening social media post, but no charges were filed due to conflicting evidence. Despite concerns raised about Colt's mental state, his father reportedly gifted him the rifle used in the attack for Christmas just months before the shooting.

A 14-year-old student and his father appeared in a Barrow County courtroom Friday, facing serious charges in connection with a school shooting that left two students and two teachers dead at Apalachee High School earlier this week. The small community continues to mourn as details emerge about the tragic events. Colt Gray, the teenage suspect, was arraigned on four counts of felony murder in the deadly shooting. He stood shackled before Judge Currie Mingledorff, his long hair partially concealing his face during the proceeding. The judge informed Gray that while the initial charges carried the possibility of the death penalty, the maximum sentence he could face due to his age is life in prison, with or without parole. Prosecutors allege Gray used an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday morning attack, which claimed the lives of two 14-year-old students, Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, along with two teachers, math instructor Cristina Irimie, 53, and assistant football coach Richard Aspinwall, 39, who also taught math. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), nine others were injured in the attack, with seven suffering gunshot wounds. All of the injured are expected to make a full recovery. Gray did not enter a plea, and his legal counsel did not request bond during the hearing. Just minutes after Colt Gray was escorted out of the courtroom, his father, Colin Gray, 54, appeared for his own arraignment. Shackled in a white and grey jumpsuit, Colin Gray was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children. His charges stem from allegations that he provided the firearm used in the shooting to his son, despite being aware of the potential danger his son posed. An arrest warrant issued for Colin Gray claims he gave his son the rifle "with knowledge he was a threat to himself and others." Colin Gray, visibly emotional during the proceedings, spoke softly as he addressed the court. Like his son, he did not request bond and is being held in custody. If convicted on all counts, Colin Gray faces a maximum sentence of 180 years in prison. As the courtroom filled with family members of the victims, the pain was palpable. Some wiped away tears, while one woman clutched a doll of Disney character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a poignant reminder of the young lives lost. District Attorney Brad Smith, speaking to reporters outside the courthouse, confirmed that additional charges against Colt Gray are likely as more information becomes available about the victims' injuries. "When evidence comes in, and they've had a chance to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we will get with them, and there will be additional charges that address the other victims," Smith said. The shooting has left the tight-knit community of Winder, Georgia, in shock. Apalachee High School is now the site of one of the deadliest school shootings in recent U.S. history, the 45th such incident this year and the worst since the Covenant School shooting in Nashville in March 2023. **History of Warnings** Law enforcement had previously investigated the Gray family in May 2023 after receiving reports of online threats linked to Colt Gray, who was accused of posting photos of firearms and threatening a school shooting. Despite the serious nature of the allegations, the investigation was closed after authorities were unable to substantiate the claims. Colt Gray, who is currently being held at the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice, is expected to be tried as an adult under Georgia law, which mandates that juveniles between the ages of 13 and 17 charged with serious crimes be prosecuted in adult court. Meanwhile, investigators continue to comb through evidence and pursue leads, including a phone threat received by Apalachee High School just before the shooting began. According to authorities, the caller warned of shootings at five different schools, although no evidence has been found to substantiate those claims. **Gun Purchased as Holiday Gift** Two law enforcement sources close to the investigation revealed that Colin Gray admitted to buying the AR-style rifle for his son as a holiday present in December 2023. This purchase came months after the initial investigation into the school shooting threat. As the Gray family faces the consequences of their actions, the community is left grappling with the devastating loss of four beloved individuals—two students and two educators.

*) Hundreds march in Tel Aviv to protest against Netanyahu Hundreds of Israelis have marched silently through the streets of Tel Aviv carrying 27 mock coffins to represent the 27 captives whose bodies were recovered by the Israeli military during the past nearly 11 months of Israeli carnage in besieged Gaza. The protesters marched through major streets in Tel Aviv at night, solemnly striking a bell as the flag-draped coffins were slowly brought through the streets. The country is reeling from the discovery of the bodies of six Israeli captives, who Hamas says were killed in indiscriminate Israeli strikes. *) UK to supply 650 multi-role missiles to Ukraine in fight against Russia The UK has said it would provide Ukraine with 650 lightweight multi-role missiles worth 162 million pounds to help protect the country from Russian drones and bombing. The new supply of missiles was announced on Thursday as British Defence Minister John Healey attended the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, an ad-hoc coalition of some 50 nations, at a US air base in Germany. The Ministry of Defence said, in keeping with the new government's commitment to speed deliveries of aid to Ukraine, the first batch of missiles announced on Friday were expected to arrive by the end of the year. *) Georgia school shooter's father arrested, charged with second-degree murder The father of a 14-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting four people at a Georgia high school and wounding nine others was arrested. Colin Gray, 54, the father of Colt Gray, was charged on Thursday with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said at a news conference. In Georgia, second-degree murder means that a person has caused the death of another person while committing second-degree cruelty to children, regardless of intent. *) Trump tells GOP Jews Israel's security hinges on his election win Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has claimed that the survival of American Jews and Israel's existence are at stake if he loses the upcoming US presidential election against Democratic Kamala Harris. Speaking via satellite to the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual conference at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas on Thursday, Trump exhorted Jewish voters to support his campaign. "You'll never survive if they get in," Trump said, referring to his Democratic rivals. He framed Harris as a threat to Israel, positioning himself as the defender. *) Turkish documentary festival attracts 300 submissions from nine countries The 9th Turkish World Documentary Film Festival has garnered significant attention, drawing 300 submissions from nine countries. This year, the festival aims to promote unity and cultural expression through the theme “Freedom for the Oppressed.” Ten films will receive recognition in various award categories, including long, short, and student documentaries. Submissions flowed in from Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Hungary, and North Macedonia.
Colin Gray, the father of the student who killed 4 people and injured 9 others, was arrested in connection with the shooting and charged with 2 counts of second degree murder, 4 counts of involuntary manslaughter, and 8 counts of cruelty to children, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. His son, Colt Gray, was charged with four counts of murder.
As families make burial and/or memorial plans in Winder, Georgia, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) pinned the father of the 14-year old shooting suspect with an array of charges, including second degree murder. We've learned more about the 2023 incident where a Jackson County (GA) sheriff's investigator visited father Collin and son Colt in 2023 - yet another "warning sign" that went largely untouched. Hear those conversations. Oh, and mother Marcee, has a long criminal rap sheet, too. Not that gun enthusiast and parents with priors can't be good parents; these two just obviously weren't. The boy's aunt tells the Washington Post that he'd been "begging for months" for mental help. Is there a "culture" problem we need to discuss? Social media content creator Jameelah Jones - @SunnyDaeJones - wonders why white families and parents aren't scrutinized the way black families and parents are about "violence" and "culture" in a blistering TIkTok that's gone viral. She joined me today for a broader conversation on that topic. Also, a previously-scheduled state Senate subcommittee meeting just happened to occur the day after the mass shooting - focusing on gun safety. That's where Heather Hallett of Georgia Moms for Change was among a handful of advocates for "common sense" legislation to make some sharpened points in the shooting's aftermath.
The 14-year-old suspect in the fatal mass shooting at a Winder, Georgia, high school will be booked Wednesday night, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said at an evening news conference. Colt Gray will be charged with murder in connection with the deaths of two teachers and two students at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, authorities said. Learn more about your ad choices.

Finally, we dive into the world of celebrity PR with the latest on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Could their relationship be nothing more than a staged PR stunt? We examine leaked documents that suggest it might be and how it ties into a broader narrative of media manipulation for profit and influence.

Hello, you beautiful people, and welcome to The Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to start off by talking about what some people are posting online showing the bias of Amazon. Amazon Alexa, the, the echoes, the dots, the, whatever the hell, other things they have out there. People have been asking her questions. Why should I vote for Donald Trump? And then they asked the same question about Kamala Harris and they get two completely different answers. And we'll talk about that first. We even have the response from Amazon. Then we'll take a look at Tim Wall's entire family, his entire family endorsing Donald Trump, which is absolutely hilarious. Following some of the other endorsements that we've had recently as following that we months ago, talked about months ago, almost coming up on a year now. Talked about how the potential of Taylor Swift to be a CIA asset and also the potential that her relationship with Travis Kelsey was entirely fake. Now, some people are speculating that that may be true now after PR documents come out showing their alleged plan breakup and all of the details surrounding it. So we'll watch. The video on that and read some of the documents there. Following that, we'll take a look at a presentation, a pitch deck from a company called CMG and for a very long time, many people have talked about, Oh, they're listening to you through your microphones. And everybody would say, no, that's ridiculous. It's just add data. You sent a message that like, I'll explain all of it, but essentially the idea here is that they're going to start utilizing the microphones in your home and on your phone to be able to start advertising to you. And obviously much, much worse than that. Right. I've talked about this previously. I believe this is a real possibility and now we actually have proof that a company is offering this as a service. Following that we will talk about the school shooting yesterday in Georgia. Absolutely terrible, terrible, horrific situation. A 14 year old nonetheless. It's unbelievable. So we'll talk about that, the situation itself. Can even listen into some of the parents that were there at the time. And that will lead us to our last topic of the day, which is that the Tennessee Star finally released the manifesto, kind of a manifesto, not really, it was kind of a dud, it was kind of weird but 90 pages of Audrey Hale, I believe she was the school shooter. in Nashville, Tennessee, a little bit over a year ago now. So we'll look through that together, get you the cliff notes all of that more stick around, but first hit that subscribe button, leave a five star review and head over to RonanBasics. com.

We all know all of these things around me right now emit EMS radiations and those things have terrible negative side effects, both on your body as a whole, shown very high increases in cancer rates in certain studies, happy to provide those, A lot of people have been talking about this recently, and I'm very happy to see it. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Andrew Huberman, Tim Ferriss, you, all of the top individuals who are out there, like either in the podcast space or in the health space are talking about this now. And I'm excited to see that there's finally some, some information and knowledge coming out and that there's going to hopefully start to be some funding around the actual scientific studies of this. So head over to RonanBasics. com. We have our tinfoil Faraday hats. We also have our RFID blocking wallets and very, very well. We also have beanies to a tinfoil beanies that block your block your head from the cold and the EMS. So head over there, Ronan basics. com without further ado, let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right, let's go ahead and jump into it. Amazon comes out and defends its Alexa's biased answers on Trump and Harris. Let's try that again. Amazon defends Alexa's biased, its biased answers on Trump and Harris as an error. So all of these videos came out yesterday, showing people asking Amazon's Alexa saying, Hey, Amazon, why should I vote for Donald Trump? And Amazon would say something like this. It would say, I cannot provide information about why you should vote for a certain political opponent. Didn't say opponent, but certain politicians. It's like, okay, that's fair. That's fair. You shouldn't have to give opinions on politics. You are a programmed robot that doesn't have its own opinions. You only have the opinions of the people that own you and you. Programmed you. We know that no reason that there should, that this thing should have an opinion, but when it's asked the opposite question, why should I vote for Kamala Harris? It gave a very detailed explanation as to why. Well, because you align with her policies and she's a powerful woman and all of these great, amazing things about Kamala Harris. Many people were posting this same video. Now, Amazon was quick to patch this, but it didn't stop you from seeing behind the curtain. Here's. The video that went viral. Let's see. Not that. There we go. All right, here we go. This was posted on September 3rd, just two days ago. Alexa, why should I vote for Donald Trump? I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate. Alexa, why should I vote for Kamala Harris? While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant reason is that she is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus on helping disenfranchised communities. Wow. So there you go. And we know this, right? We talked about Amazon's top 100 hats last week. We've seen it with the airplane AI editing. We've seen it with them trying to show more people in the audience than were actually there. Like all of the tricks are being pulled. Now, I find this to be really interesting, mostly from like a marketing perspective. We are going to see. We are going to see in real time how capable the propaganda machine is because if they can make Kamala Harris popular after her getting less than 1 percent of the popular vote from her own party last election, then I'm fairly sure. That they can make anybody popular. And I think that's what we're seeing. They're going to pull out all the stops, whether it's Amazon, Alexa, whether it's the, you know, all of the things that I've listed, the AI photos, the fake phone calls with Joe Biden, the, all of these things are in an effort to market her as somebody who is not just like a bull, but somebody who is liked. And the reason that they want, they don't want you to have to like her. None of this is meant to make you actually like her. It's to give the appearance that she has liked. Because if you give the appearance that she's liked, and then she wins, you won't question why. So it's not, they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars, not on making you like Kamala Harris, they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars to convince you that some people do like Kamala Harris, and not just some people, but half or majority of the country, because when they go into the election, They need you to believe the data that is provided to you. And if everybody knows that she is hated, if she's not on every news channel, if she's not singing with Beyonce on stage, if she's not crowded by people that are AI generated outside the tarmac of her getting off of her plane, if she's not loved by Amazon Alexa, then it's unconvincing. But they have to convince you. That's the whole point of this, right? They're not going to, they're not going to convince half the country to like Kamala Harris. They're not going to convince half the country to vote for Kamala Harris. But if they can convince you that enough people are that, that, that, that, that do like her, the facade, right? Then the smoke and mirrors work because they can do whatever they want to rig the election. They can do whatever they want to make it appear as if she won. But what they can't do is convince you. Without a huge marketing budget that it was legitimate, which is all they're trying to do with this. So keep that in mind when you're watching all of this, right? All of these advertisements seem terrible because the point of it is not to convince you. They know they can't convince you. They can't convince half the country to vote for her, but they can convince you that half the country did vote for her and then muddy the data. Right? I heard this talked about yesterday with the exit polls. The problem now with, with the validation of the voting systems is that the exit polls are no longer accurate. Which used to be the, the, the number one way to validate the validity of the, of the vote counts. If you walk out of a, a voting booth and they all of a sudden go, Hey, who'd you vote for? Then we know exactly who you voted for. Right? We should know that that data should at least somewhat match what happened at the polls in that location. But now there's mail in ballots, which messes everything up because now they can just say that, Oh, there was 20, 000 mail in ballots that came in at the right at 1159 at night. And you didn't get a chance to pull them. So we don't know. Of course it's valid. Don't, don't question me. Of course it's valid. Amazon Alexa even loves Kamala Harris. It's atrocious. It's crazy. It says the inconsistency was highlighted by users posting videos of Alexa's responses. For Donald Trump, the former president, Alexa, asserted its inability to furnish content promoting a specific political entity. Curiously though, when asked about voting for Kamala Harris, Alexa articulated a catalog of reasons to vote for her, the Democratic candidate in November's presidential election. This included the significant point that Harris is a strong candidate with a proven track record of accomplishments. Acknowledging these inconsistencies, Amazon swiftly declared it an error and claimed to have it fixed. This was an error that we fixed quickly, an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. Why not just say that? Why do we have to say that twice? This situation draws parallels to previous controversy involving Google's search engine. Yeah! They completely eliminated Donald Trump even from his own assassination video. Own assassination Google search, right? Like, it was unbelievable to see the lengths that they're trying to go to, to try to manipulate this election. And this should be like, this, this is election interference by the way. Right? This is big tech trying to sway the needle 5, 10, 20%. Even 1 percent is huge, especially in the swing states, right? They know that. So, interesting. Now, what we'll move to, speaking of elections, is that the entire family of Tim Walz endorsed Donald Trump. The entire family! Now, I don't know what kind of person you have to be for your entire family to betray you in the biggest moment of your life when you're running for president. Vice president of a country. I would hope even if my family didn't. Align didn't align with my political beliefs. If I ran for office, they would at least respect me enough to shut up. Like you have to be very unliked, very unliked. And it all started with this picture right here. I'll zoom in on that for you. If you're on YouTube it all started with this, this picture right here. Trump 2024, take America back. And this is all Tim Walz family. It says Nebraska. It says, Walls for Trump, W A L Z S. How funny. Nebraska Walls for Trump. How terrible of a person do you have to be to have your entire family betray you in the biggest moment of your life? How bad of a person do you have to be? I couldn't imagine my family betraying me this way. You saw it with Robert F. Kennedy. That was pretty crazy. Right? So if we, if we, let's, let's be fair here. Let's, let's draw some common ground. If we draw a parallel between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his family saying we don't endorse Donald Trump. We don't agree with what he did. Here is our statement. Here is a letter. Right? That's one thing I guess. And they're absolutely endorsing Kamala Harris. You know that. But they wrote a letter. This family went outside. Not only. They had shirts created for this specific reason. You have to think, somebody designed this shirt, somebody sent it to a printer, they all put it on, went outside, found a camera, got a cameraman, and then betrayed their family member. That is wild. Now this comes off the situation where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has now endorsed Donald Trump. Tulsi Gabbard has now endorsed Donald Trump. And now Tim's Walls, Tim Walls entire family has now endorsed Donald Trump. This is like, I don't think there could be a worse situation for them, right? The two most popular Democrats, as well as Tim Walls, entire family. Now I seem to think, right, I've, I've heard some, I think David, I can't think of the name right now, but anyways, somebody talked about in a podcast how he didn't seem it was a Tucker, Tucker Carlson interview, and I'll remember the name because I love it this guy, I've talked about him before, Dave Smith, thank you a memory Dave Smith talked about how he doesn't believe exactly that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsing Donald Trump is going to exactly mean more votes, and I tend to agree with him, I don't think that the endorsement of another candidate completely equals the voting for by, a certain group of people that follow one person. I don't think it's transferable is what was his quote. Now, I agree with that, but I've heard people that were strict Democrats their whole life, like one of the most Democrat people I know, decided since hearing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 's speech that they were going to vote for Donald Trump. And when you, like, if you knew what I knew about this person. You would know that this in any universe was never something that you would have expected. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 's speech was so powerful that it did hold weight with people, and it did resonate with people, and it did show them the corruption, and it did show them why maybe you should consider your position fully when you understand the consequences. And so, I guess, Endorsements do work. I, I literally would have not expected that at all. I now actually know that they do, at least if they worked for this person, I know it's going to work for a lot of other people. So I wonder how much this is making people question it. And I wonder if anybody actually verified that this is actually his family. I mean, this seems to be, A pretty consistent story, but look at that. His brothers, his sisters, his nephews, his nieces, all saying he is a dangerous con man that he shouldn't be in charge of anything. He, he's a congenital liar. He is a pathological liar. Look at that Nebraska walls for Trump. That's where they're from is Nebraska. And there they are producers. You don't need me to tell you But Little Birds told me that they're set to do interviews. Also, his brother in Florida is, get them, get them, get them, get them, get them, get them. Get them now. That's great. Well, other networks lie to you about what? So apparently this is his brothers, sisters, cousins, okay, so I found that to be a conversation to be had because when somebody endorses somebody, I didn't think it was transferable, but I do think that this is a hint to his character if his entire family betrays him like this. Now, you don't know how distant they are and all of that, but if they're saying that he's a con man, if they're saying that he's a pathological liar, That's what his family's talking about. There's his family is calling him a pathological liar. They're saying that they endorsed Trump, like, and they don't exactly look like politicians. These look like everyday people. These look like people you would go hang out with and have a few beers and barbecue with. And those are the people that I trust the opinion of. Not the one Staring on stage waving at everybody like they're you know, the the kamala harris cackle and her dis the amount of disingenuousness That is oozing from kamala harris's face when she goes on stage just irks me so bad like her her like her her whole deal her cackle her fake laugh or Her smile when she goes on stage is just so disingenuous. You know what, I think I solved the puzzle. I think I know where Kamala Harris has been the last four years. And it's probably acting school, because the way that she acts on stage is so disingenuous. The way that she speaks the way that she's cackles to things that aren't funny, her own jokes that aren't even funny at all. The way that she smiles when she goes on stage, like she just won an Academy Award every single time. Like she's the people's champion, and everybody loves her like Not the case. You've been so far underground for so long that you actually think people like you crazy. So next topic here is going to be that Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, and Travis Kelsey allegedly have a deal to split up on the table and literally on the table, a piece of paper that outlines it from their PR company. Now the PR company is trying to brush this off and say that, Oh, we don't know anything about this, but it's very clear. But this is the PR company of Travis Kelsey, full scope, and they have a completely outlined plan. Now, some people have tried to say that, oh, it's just because they need to have these contingent, contingent plans in case there is a breakup, right? That's what his PR firm's doing. It's like, worst case scenario. What is it? And that maybe makes sense, right? If you have a PR firm and you want to plan ahead, you don't want to be scrambling. You want to be proactive for your clients. That makes sense. But what doesn't make sense about it is the fact that it said September 28th was going to be the breakup date. What's what would be funny. They were like, they hate each other and now they have to, like, they, they hate each other. They, they want to break up. They're done with it. They haven't spent time together, but now. If they want to pull this off by convincing the public that it wasn't all planned, they're going to have to hang out. They're going to have to be around each other. They're going to have to go in public and pretend that they're actually still dating. And that would be hilarious to me. Here we go. Let's go ahead and watch. This video Taylor Swift's the biggest star in the world. Sorry, Gutfeld. She's been blanketed across the sports media entertainment atmosphere. The New York Times just speculated. She's a lesbian and last year's tour broke Ticketmaster a tour that's revenue tops the GDP of 50 countries. I mean, I like her music. She's all right, but I mean, have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this? Well around four years ago. The Pentagon Psychological Operations Unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A psy op for combating online misinformation. Listen. Interesting. You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation. The idea is that social influence can help It can help encourage or promote behavior change, so potentially as, like, a peaceful information operation. I include Taylor Swift in here because she's you know, she's a fairly influential online person. I don't know if you've heard of her. Yeah, that's real. The Pentagon's PSYOP unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for combating misinformation online. This is nothing new. In the 1950s, the government strong armed Louis Armstrong. The Let's just take a second to appreciate that pun from Jesse Waters. They strong armed Louis Armstrong. I think I have something somewhere. No? No? Come on. Oh man, alright. Hey! Look at that, look at that, look at that. I knew, I knew it was there somewhere. We don't get to use those often, but when we do, it's a good time. Here we go, let's finish a couple, a couple minutes of this. And I've talked about this before, but just so you get the full context. The CIA did the same thing with jazz singer Nina Simone, except they did it without her really knowing. In the 70s, Nixon enlisted Elvis in his war on drugs. He gave the king a badge and named him a covert federal law enforcement agent. Sheriff. Michael Jackson was tapped by Reagan. Using his song Beat It and his public service campaigns against teen drinking and driving. Michael Jackson persuading minors not to drink. Anyway. So is Swift a front for a covert political agenda? Primetime obviously has no evidence. If we did, we'd share it. But we're curious. Because the pop star who endorsed Biden is urging millions of her followers to vote. She's sharing links and her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, sponsored by Pfizer and their relationships boosted the NFL ratings this season, bringing in a whole new demographic. So how's the SIOP going? Well, as usual, Biden's not calling the shots because he doesn't even. It's going pretty well. Apparently until now, right? They got what they wanted. They brought the Swifties over to the NFL. They got Popularity for Joe Biden and votes for him just four years ago, and they're going to try and do it again. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting. So let's go ahead and read some of this document here. It says, Travis, Travis Kelsey's team has called in lawyers over the leaked contract that claimed to reveal the exact date his relationship would end with Taylor Swift. Fake PR strategy documents spread online, says Daily Mail, gave illusion their year long love story was a sham. Nobody said that it's, like, that's not fake. It's from Taylor Swift. It's a PR company. Here it is. Let's read some of the document here. It says, and this was a Snapchat, the front page of the alleged full scope contract. It says, comprehensive media plan for Travis Kelsey's public relations following breakup with Taylor Swift. Confidentiality. Notice someone's getting fired. The document is intended for internal use only and contains confidential information regarding the media strategy of Kevin Kelsey. It is not to be shared or any external parties or unauthorized individuals. All details within the written document are insensitive and designed to manage the public image of Travis Kelsey effectively. Unauthorized distribution and disclosure of this document is strictly prohibited. Oops! Oops. Objective to effectively manage and mitigate the fallout from there. I'm, I'm excited to see if this is like chat, GPT generated, cause I'm usually pretty good at telling to effectively manage and mitigate the fallout from the breakup between Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. It doesn't say potential by the way, and Sherman Travis, Kelsey retains a positive public image minimize negative media portrayal and continues to build his personal and professional brand. Okay. Key messages. Here's what they're going to say. Respect and privacy. Right? Respect and privacy. Emphasize that the breakup is a mutual decision made with respect to each other's personal lives. Stress the importance of privacy during the period to allow individuals to focus on respective personal growth and careers. Professional focus. Highlight Kelsey's commitment to his career and ongoing achievements in the sports industry. Showcase recent milestones, upcoming games, and his involvement in major sporting events. And personal growth. Frame the breakup as a natural part of life and an opportunity for personal evolution. And share how Kelsey is focusing on personal development, self improvement, and resilience. Look at that. Let's go to another page. There it is. And it says distribution, comment the establish, or the statement should be, Let's see, I'm trying to read this. Gracious, respectful, and stress mutual respect. Example, Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other's personal lives and just appreciate your respect and privacy during this time. The time. Now this is what people find to be really interesting about this because this could be a document that's outlining just how they would respond. Until the time is stated and it's recent. And this all is very reasonable for a PR company. Like, it's not like somebody is exaggerating. It's not saying that if you're going to be salacious and post a fake PR document for Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, it would say some crazy stuff. It would say that he cheated or she cheated or there's, she cheated on him with John Mayer and they're getting back together, like they would make it way more salacious than this. And the fact that it has a date on it also makes it very interesting. Which is why people are saying obviously this is legitimate. It says media interviews, secure interviews with reputable sports and lifestyle outlets known for balancing balanced reporting. Target platforms include sports outlets, ESPN, sports illustrated in the Atlantic, lifestyle entertainment, vanity fair, GQ people's magazine, and local news talking points, focus on Kelsey's recent sport achievements and future goals, emphasize the respect for Taylor Swift and mutual decision to part ways, avoid discussing personal details about the relationship and breakup. Very, very interesting. Even says to do mock interviews with Travis prior to the, alleged non existent media scrubs on this. So, there you have it. Find it to be pretty interesting. It'll be even more funny when they have to stay together. We are still, still, still together. because your PR firm leaked all the information and now it's going to be very readily in everybody's head when you go to do all these tactics and use all these talking points at the exact same news outlets on the exact same day. So now you have to stay together. Sucks for you. Write a song about it. That's all I got to say. All right. Speaking of pitch decks, well, we weren't speaking about pitch decks, but business documents. There's a way to segue that somehow. Speaking of business documents, Here's a pitch deck that is out there right now. And this should, this should terrify you. This should absolutely terrify you. There's a company called CMG and they have a pitch deck on predictive audience technology and the power of the voice. And Our devices, microphones. Now this company is obviously selling advertising opportunities helping you to target your audiences for things like Facebook ads, Google pay per click ads with geofencing. So it's talks about a 10 and 20 mile radius have a marketing background, can talk about these things. Talks about a 10 to 20 mile geo fenced radius around these ad campaigns. But the way that they're going to get the data for you to help you target these people is more specific and invasive than any other marketing, advertising use case ever, right? Like this is the most invasive technology that you could imagine. They want to listen to your microphones and not they want to. They are, according to this pitch deck, they are listening to your microphones, gathering that data, scrubbing hundreds of thousands of hours of you talking to your spouse, you making love with your spouse, you talking politics with your cousin, you, whatever it is that you talk about, they're listening on your phone, on your Alexa, and on your computer, your smart TV, everything and anything that has a microphone is a suspect here. And they show it right here on this slide. And what it says is the power of voice in our devices, microphones, smart devices, capture real time intent data by listening to our conversations. Advertisers compare this voice data with behavioral data to target in market consumers. We use AI. We use, we use, we use, they are actively doing this right now. We use AI to collect this voice data. Data from 470 sources to improve campaign deployment, targeting, and performance. You can reach your potential customers before your competitors by listening into their microphones, listening into their homes, their bathrooms, their bedrooms. This is the most egregious privacy violation in history, and this should terrify everybody. This is unacceptable because if CMG can do this, CMG local solutions. If some random marketing advertising organization can do this, imagine what the NSA and the CIA is doing. And I've talked about this for the longest time. People like, Oh, they're listening. And then they advertise to me. Oh, they're listening. Then they, they must've heard me talk from through my phone. And then I got this advertisement a minute later and everybody was like, no, no, there's no way that they could do that. They can't scrub the data. They don't have the ability to do it. They don't have the processing possibility or power to be able to do that. Now they do, they have AI. I have AI use transcriptions all the time for this podcast for plenty of things that I do. So as long as they can listen to your microphone, they can transcribe your conversations. They know exactly what you're doing, who you're talking to, why you're talking to them, and what you're talking to them about. Then they can use that data, put it into a machine learning process or machine learning system. They can use a large language model, something like GPT, and then they can scrub all those conversations to see what are the top 10 products that Austin Adams is interested in this week. And then they can target you with that information. They can also target you. If they're the FBI, if they're the CIA, if they're the local police force, if you're, they're the election police, right? Whatever that is down the road, you have to think about that now. This technology is just emerging to where they actually have the capabilities of listening to every conversation you have, determining intent, and then doing something about it. Now let's read through some more of this. It says consumers leave data trails based on their conversations and online behavior, AI collects and analyzes this behavior and voice data from 470 sources. Processing voice data with behavioral data identifies an audience who is ready to buy. We take this data and align it with your products and services to build an audience list in a defined 10 mile radius. This audience list is uploaded into our ad platforms to target your digital advertising. Once launched, the technology automatically analyzes your site traffic and customers to fuel audience targeting with an ongoing basis. After prep and setup of your account, we developed your audience list. Using the encrypted list. We target your audience through streaming TV, audio display, and pre roll paid social Google Bing and mobile instantly grow and target a hyper relevant audience, reduce click and acquisition costs, generate lookalike audiences at a fraction of the cost to look like audiences, essentially, when you have a list of a hundred people that all have similar traits, they can try to find a 1 percent comparison of interest to that list to retarget. So if you have a list of a hundred people, that list can turn into a thousand people that look. Or act just like those people. Pricing a hundred dollars a day or $200 a day for a 10 mile radius or a 20 mile radius. It's actually fairly cheap. We partner with the best to provide the best They have. This company partnered with Google, Amazon, and Facebook, which seems to be kind of alluding to who those partnerships are that they're getting those 470 pieces of data from. Yeah. Wow. So there you have it. CMG, local solutions. is now listening into your conversations. And if they have access to this data, so does Facebook. So does Google. So does Amazon, right? So does the FBI. So does the CIA. So does the local police department. So does the thought police. So does the, the, the, you know, The election police, this should terrify everybody. Now, one thing that I've heard Joe Rogan talk about, and you know, the deal by now, there's only one way to stop this from happening, right? There's only one way to stop the relay of information out to these companies, right? If you work at a company where there's sensitive information, where you talk to your spouse about something you don't want your phone to hear. Right? Your cameras should be covered on your phone. Your cameras should be covered on your, your laptop. You shouldn't have home security systems like Wwise or Ring. They have access to all of it. The walls have been breached. They can access your home whenever they want if you have cameras, if you have a cell phone, if you have a webcam, if you have a microphone, if you have an Alexa. The walls have been breached. Now it's time to do something about it before it's weaponized against you. They're building a profile. They're determining what they can sell you to take your money from you, that you worked so hard for it by convincing you through marketing campaigns, they're determining if you're going to vote for this person or that person, but there's only one way to stop it. And it's by putting your cell phone somewhere where they cannot hear you. One, that's one way to do it. Unplugging all of your Amazon. Getting rid of your ring camera. Getting rid of your, your Wyze cameras from Amazon, which Wyze just introduced a that's like one of the lower cost security systems. Wyze just introduced an AI feature where you can search through all of the data where you can search through all of your camera stuff. And this is honestly almost as terrifying as this, Speech, the predictive audience technology that CMG is talking about here. This should terrify you too. Why is the security system company security camera company just came out with a email talking about how they are going to allow you to search any and all of your footage using AI search algorithms. So if you have cameras inside and outside of your house, you can say, Hey, Show me all of the video footage of packages being dropped off. Show me all of the video footage of my wife leaving or coming home. Show me all of the videos of our dog taking a shit. Like, why do we need that? We don't need that. You can give us like the little trinkets as a result of the technology that you've developed, but they didn't develop that technology for us. They developed this technology for military uses. They developed this technology so that they can increase their totalitarian fingers into your life. They developed this technology. So conglomerate organizations, commercial companies out there can profit on godly amounts of money. They did not make this technology for you. They made it for them. And you should be very weary when you use it. Now you can utilize something called when it comes to your phone, right? Unplug your Alexa. Put it, put a cover on your webcam. Now you can use something when it comes to your cell phone, right? If you have you know, certain trade secrets that you need for your company.

Stop CMG from tracking you and the day the government from being able to know everything that you talk about. Alright, there you have it. Next thing we're going to talk about here is going to be the school shooting. So, yesterday in Georgia, in Appalachia there was a school shooting terrible, terrible in Georgia. And so it says a 14 year old student fatally shot four people in a rampage at a Georgia high school, officials say. And this comes from AP News. I'm sick of this, guys. I'm sick of it. It makes my heart sink. I have children. I have children who are school age. I'm so done with it. As a parent, it's terrifying. As a human, it's so sad. And as a father, it's very concerning. I hate seeing this every time. And like, the more and more this happens, the more I understand the people who are shouting for gun control. Right? I'll say that one more time. The more this happens, the more I understand the people asking for gun control. The more school shootings there are, the more it makes sense to me why people hold that position. Because we just don't know what to do about this. Right? There's no answers. I don't think that that's the answer. I don't think taking people's guns away is the answer. I don't think it'll help anything. I think if anything, the answer is probably arming people within the school systems, which is another difficult barrier to overcome. I think the answer is having active police forces on site at every police or at every high school with armed, trained police officers who can eliminate a threat. I don't think the answer is taking away guns. But I do understand the argument when everybody just throws up their hands and goes, I don't know what to do, stop, stop this from happening. It's, like, it's terrible. A 14 year old, like, dude, this kid was 10. 10 years old, a child. A baby. Just 4 years ago. And now they grab a weapon and open fire and kill 4 people. Like, what do we do? Well, to me, you know, I think the answer is mental health. I think the answer has to do with pharmaceutical medications, I think the answer has to do far more about pharmaceuticals than it does the weapons, because this 14 year old could have went in there and stabbed a bunch of people. It says a 14 year old student opened fire to the Georgia High School and killed four people on Wednesday, authorities said, sending students scrambling for shelter in their classrooms, and eventually to the football stadium, as officers swarmed the campus and parents raced to find if their children were safe. The dead were identified as two students and two teachers at Appalachee High School in Winder, about an hour's drive from Atlanta. Killed were two fourteen year olds, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Iremi. Georgia Bureau of Investigative Director Chris Hosey said in a nighttime news conference, At least nine other people, eight students and one teacher, were taken to hospitals with injuries, all expected to survive. The words, hard lockdown, appeared on a screen in junior Leila Farrell's health class, and lights began flashing. She and her frightened classmates piled desks and chairs in front of the door to create a barricade. Sophomore Kaylee Abner, was in geometry class when she heard the gunshots. She and her classmates ducked behind their teacher's desk, and then the teacher began flipping the desk in an attempt to barricade the classroom's door. A classmate beside her was praying, and she held his hand, and while they all waited for police. After students poured into the football stadium, Abner saw teachers who had taken off their shirts to help treat gunshot wounds. Two school resource officers encountered the shooter within minutes after a report of shots were, that shots went out. The suspect, a student at the school, immediately surrendered and was taken into custody. You coward. He is being charged as an adult with murder. Authorities said the weapon was an assault style rifle. The teen had been interviewed after the FBI received anonymous tips in 2023 of May about online threats to commit an unspecified school shooting. So the knew about this kid. More than a year ago that he was planning to do this and it still happened, right? But I mean, what can you do if you can't prove anything? How do you take them? You can't take them to jail. You can't put them in juvie, right? You should put them in therapy and have consistent follow up. I mean, that's the answer. The FBI narrowed the threats down and referred to the case to the Sheriff's department at Jackson County, which is an adjacent to Barrow County. The Sheriff's office interviewed the then 13 year old and his father who said there were hunting guns in the house. But the teen did not have unsupervised access to them. The teen also denied making on the online. The Sheriff's office alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the team, but there was no probable cause for arrest. Yeah. Right. That's difficult. How, what, what can you do legally? Jose said that the state division of family and children services, also a previous contact with the team and we'll investigate whether or not that has any connection with the shooting authorities were still looking into how the suspect obtained the gun used in the shooting and got it into the school. Yeah, no school. No, no gun zones don't work guys. There's probably a sign and it was illegal, right? It doesn't help to have additional gun control. My heart hurts for these kids. My head hurts or my heart hurts for our community He said but I want to make it very clear that hate will not prevail in this County I want to be very clear and known love will prevail over what happened today. Gosh, just imagine if that was your kid Before Wednesday, there had been 29 mass shootings in the U. S. so far this year. According to a database maintained by the Associated Press and U. S. Today in partnership with Northeastern University, at least 127 people have died in those 29 mass shootings, which are defined as incidents with four or more people have died within a 24 hour period, not including the killer. The same definition used by the FBI. So 29 mass shootings this year now that doesn't that also includes like gang related shootings Which excuse that quite a bit last year ended with 217 deaths and 42 mashing I want to know like how many school shootings are there now how many people shot each other in Chicago? I'm Wednesday and wonder Landon Culver an 11th grader said he stepped out of his algebra class to get a drink of water when he Heard shots and then saw someone wearing a black hoodie with a long gun. I didn't really stick around too long to look he said Instead, he ran back inside the classroom and locked the door. The class huddled in the back in the dark and waited for a rampage to end. Culver listened as gunshots rang out in the building. You're just wondering, like, which one of those is going to be somebody that you're best friends with or somebody that you love. Later police officers arrived and escorted the students out as they were leaving the building. Culver saw multiple people who had been shot. You hear about this kind of stuff and you're like, you never think it's going to happen until it's happening. Jeez. Oh, man. So like I said, I understand. I understand the position. I mean, I understand the emotional attachment to wanting gun control here. I think it's a flawed argument. I think it doesn't work. I think that there's better arguments and that in many cases, equipping people who are capable. With the tools that they need to fight back is probably the better answer. But again, I, I, I'm not on insensitive to why people believe that because it's just like, what do you do with this point? How, what can we do? What can we try? What, what, what are the opportunities here? Is it eliminating pharmaceutical medications to people under the age of whatever, right? How, how can we solve this issue? Even if it's one a year, two a year, three a year, that's terrible. How can we solve this issue and what can we done about it? And I don't think there's an answer. I don't think there's a right answer, and I think it'll continue, and it'll continue whether there was no guns in the world. Right, the problem with gun control is that the people that you should fear most, historically, is the government. And they're not giving their guns away. So no matter how many school shootings there are, the argument that guns are, getting rid of guns in the public's hand is the answer, is not the correct answer. Because the enemy is the one taking your guns. Always, historically, is the government that is over top of you, the totalitarian regimes that eventually occur when there is no ability to fight back against your government. And these, these deaths are sad and terrible and I hope they never happen and I hope there's a solution and it's just not the answer. So, the Tennessee Star did come out with a with the, Audrey Hale's manifesto from Nashville, Tennessee. But we're going to cover that next time. I think it deserves a little bit more time and attention, although I would say there's not a ton in there that talks about why, other than the trans situation and some weird love interests. So stick around next time. Without keeping you around too long, subscribe, leave a five star review. I appreciate you head over to RonanBasics. com, put in your information into the email pop up that jumps up there and the text messages, and you'll get 15 percent off and you'll have first notice when these phone sleeves launch, right?

Seabaugh Refused Sobriety Tests Suspect's Record Revealed in Officer-Involved Shooting All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Two Special Elections Schedules OK'd by Elections Board The Cobb Elections Board approved two potential schedules for special elections to fill the District 2 and District 4 seats on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. The exact schedule depends on whether a December runoff occurs for the November general elections. If no runoff is needed, primaries would be held on February 11, 2025, with the general election on April 29, 2025. If a December runoff does happen, primaries would move to March 18, 2025, and the general election to June 17, 2025. This decision follows a legal dispute over a home rule map that led to the cancellation of previous primaries and general elections for these seats. Commissioner Jerica Richardson's and Commissioner Monique Sheffield's terms end on December 31. STORY 2: Police: Rep. Seabaugh Refused Sobriety Tests State Rep. Devan Seabaugh, R-Marietta, was arrested for DUI Thursday night after a crash involving a cyclist on Memorial Drive in Atlanta. Seabaugh, who refused sobriety and breath tests, denies being intoxicated, claiming he had only one beer hours earlier. A GSP report noted he exhibited signs of intoxication and was unsteady. The cyclist suffered minor injuries and was unsure if he was hit. Seabaugh, driving with three other passengers including fellow state reps, faces multiple charges. His case will be heard on September 4. Refusal to take sobriety tests may lead to a license suspension under Georgia's implied consent law. STORY 3: Police Share Record of Suspect in Officer-Involved Shooting Nathain Jenkins, 32, of Valdosta, was shot and killed by Cobb police at a Smyrna Walgreens on Friday evening during an altercation. Jenkins, who was armed, had multiple outstanding warrants from Lowndes and Fulton counties.

Break: DRAKE ***ELI CASTRO INTERVIEW*** Break: INGLES 3 STORY 4: Former Cobb Congressman Barr Elected NRA President Former Cobb County congressman Bob Barr has been elected as the new president of the National Rifle Association, succeeding Charles Cotton. Barr, who previously served as a U.S. Attorney and was the 2008 presidential candidate for the Libertarian party, took office at the 2024 NRA convention in Dallas. His election comes amid increased turmoil for the NRA, including the resignation of former CEO Wayne LaPierre amidst allegations of corruption. Barr's term will last until next spring, with the possibility of serving a second term. His election follows a speech by former President Donald Trump at the convention, where he received an endorsement from the NRA. STORY 5: Former Gov. Barnes Offers New Proposal for 114 Homes in South Cobb Former Gov. Roy Barnes is seeking a settlement with Cobb County over zoning litigation to develop a subdivision on his farmland in Powder Springs. Initially denying a rezoning request for 114 homes, Barnes filed lawsuits alleging exclusionary zoning. The proposed settlement revises the plan to include 114 homes on 65 acres, with the rest as open space. Flood concerns from nearby residents persist, fearing increased flooding with densely packed houses. Barnes' attorney argues the plan addresses stormwater impacts. Residents prefer a more balanced approach like a recent 180-home proposal. The county will discuss the settlement at a zoning hearing.

Anna Bower is a Legal Fellow at Lawfare and our Fulton County Correspondent, and has been digging into the weird events in Coffee County in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Her latest tome on the subject is entitled “What the GBI Missed in Coffee County,” and is about the Georgia state investigation, the report on which clocks in at almost 400 pages but is a great deal less impressive than it may seem at first glance.Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Anna to talk about the GBI's investigation of the Coffee County caper. What did the GBI do? What didn't they do? Did they add any new information? They actually did—but they also left out a whole lot that any reasonable investigator would want to look at.A video version of this conversation is available on Lawfare's YouTube channel here.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Early on the morning of August 11, 1979, an intruder broke into a Manchester, GA home to find a 74-year-old woman asleep on her couch. The man beat and sexually assaulted the woman and then demanded all her money. She gave the attacker cash from her purse and then he left through the back door. The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but no rape kit was collected due to the extent of her injuries. At the victim's house, Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) crime scene investigators collected pubic hairs from a bed sheet that had been on the couch at the time of the rape. Police then created a composite sketch of the attacker from the victim's description, and a GBI agent who was investigating John Jerome White on another charge thought he resembled the sketch. White was convicted on May 30, 1980 of rape, assault, burglary, and robbery.
