Most of us think of scams as random or isolated or something that just happens to unlucky people. But what if the truth is far more organized, far more disturbing? Behind many of today's scams is a global web of criminal enterprises, structured like corporations and fueled by technology, data, and billions of stolen dollars. In this episode, we sit down with Ken Westbrook. Ken spent over three decades in the CIA before retiring, only to return to the fight after his own mother was targeted and lost most of her life savings to a tech support scam. That moment changed everything. He founded Stop Scams Alliance, a nonprofit on a mission to stop scams before they ever reach our devices. His approach? Building bridges between tech companies, banks, telecom, government, and consumer advocates to cut these criminal operations off at the source. Ken brings a rare blend of intel experience and personal urgency to this issue. He breaks down what's really going on behind the scenes, why the U.S. is falling behind in this fight, and how other countries are pushing back effectively. If you think this can't happen to you or someone you love, think again. This conversation is a wake-up call. Show Notes: [00:58] Ken is the founder and CEO of Stop Scams Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing scams in the United States. [01:21] They are focused on the left of the boom or before the scam happens. [01:43] Ken served for 33 years in the CIA.  [02:28] We learn how Ken's mother was scammed on Valentine's Day of 2023. He started looking into these scams, and he was horrified.  [03:19]  As a nation, we need to do better to defend ourselves. Ken came out of retirement to do just that. [03:32] His board of directors has a lot of government officials who decided to join the fight. We are literally under attack by foreign organized crime, and we're not doing enough to protect ourselves. [04:03] 21 million Americans are scammed each year. [04:45] The number of scam and fraud victims are increasing. [05:15] It's become a business, and the scammers are getting better at what they do. [06:36] How Chinese criminal gangs shifted from casinos to scamming operations. People join voluntarily or are sometimes kidnapped. [07:24] It's also expanding around the world. [10:12] The British government actually has a scam czar. So does Australia. They have a strategy and a fraud policy. [12:08] You think you're talking to the IRS or your bank, but you're not. [13:45] Having a whitelist for financial advertising. Other countries are finding value in authenticating, maybe the United States should pay attention. [15:36] Scammers love to get people on the telephone. In many countries, telecom companies will block spoofing calls from other countries.  [16:47] We need authenticated text messages in the US. [17:42] We have more companies and free enterprise, so it's more complicated in the US. [19:35] We need somebody in charge. It's an economic war with transnational organized crime. [22:34] Fake investment scams are the number one scam when it comes to losses. [27:46] Ken shares what happened in his mom's case. It was a tech support scam. His mom clicked on an obituary site and scareware popped up. [30:08] The whole point is to get you to call a fake 1-800 number that you think is Microsoft. [30:51] The Phantom hacker was able to look up where she banked by using her phone number. Then they put her in touch with the fake fraud department at the bank. [32:11] Then they sent her to Home Depot to buy gift cards and then cashier's checks. [33:55] Fortunately the banks intervened, but she still lost a lot of money. [36:38] We need to realize that we're being attacked by Chinese cyber criminals. [39:38] People under the age of 50 are falling victim to scams more than the elderly people. [41:31] The average loss last year of an older person was $83,000. Older people are being targeted because of their demographic. [43:31] Criminals micro-target just like advertisers. [44:04] We all need to be aware of the threats out there. If you get a call that you're not expecting, always assume it's not legitimate. [45:21] Be wary of links. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Sol Price is the most influential retailer you've never heard of. A man who never sought the spotlight, but whose legacy and lessons cover the entire landscape of modern retail. Have you ever wondered why you can still buy a hot dog and soda for $1.50 today at Costco? We can thank Sol Price for that. To him, keeping promises to customers mattered more than profit margins. Sam Walton said he borrowed more ideas from Sol Price than anyone else. Jim Sinegal of Costco said, “I didn't learn a lot from Sol. I learned everything.” Jeff Bezos studied him. Home Depot echoed him.  He invented the warehouse club, pioneered membership retail and built two multi-billion-dollar companies. The real lessons aren't about what he built, but how he did it.  This is the story of how a lawyer with no retail experience created an industry, mentored his competition, and proved that nice guys don't always finish last. ------ Approximate Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (02:01) Early Years (08:29) Starting FedMart (28:33) Price Club (36:19) When Students Surpass the Teacher (42:09) The Teacher's Last Lesson (43:46) Reflections And Lessons ------ Upgrade: Get a hand edited transcripts and ad free experiences along with my thoughts and reflections at the end of every conversation.

Briar West, a visionary fluid artist raised in Southern California, infuses her work with the essence of the ocean. She embraces the elegance of imperfection and the beauty in chaos. Through her art, she captures the notion that we are all imperfectly perfect, and believes that's a beautiful thing. Briar's journey into art is as unconventional as her medium. With a background in medical research, her artistic path began as a blend of self-care and curiosity. Lacking traditional supplies, she started experimenting with inks, using materials she had on hand - alcohol, bleach, vodka, even antifreeze. This inventive spirit defines her work to this day, often sourcing supplies from Home Depot, liquor stores, and auto part stores. Briar is known for her dynamic process, sometimes using a leaf blower to swiftly guide alcohol and ink across large canvases, capturing a moment before it fades. Briar has been called an alchemist, taking common, everyday products and creating magic. Today she continues to use those same materials in her work, as that is what she knows and loves. Her unrelenting curiosity has led to the creation of increasingly larger and larger pieces. Her work can now be seen in lobbies, homes, and offices across the country. www.BriarWestStudio.com IG: @BriarWestStudio

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x617! Shameless plug 12 au 17 octobre 2025 - Objective by the sea v8 10 au 12 novembre 2025 - IAQ - Le Rendez-vous IA Québec 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2065 Description Dans ce podcast spécial Northsec, David Décary-Hétu présente une recherche fascinante sur les négociations entre groupes de ransomware et leurs victimes, basée sur l'analyse d'archives de conversations réelles accessibles publiquement sur ransomware.li. Le contexte des ransomwares modernes Les ransomwares représentent aujourd'hui la plus grande menace pour les infrastructures critiques selon le gouvernement canadien. Ces attaques ont évolué vers des stratégies multiples : chiffrement des données, exfiltration d'informations sensibles, et même la “triple extorsion” où les attaquants menacent de nouvelles attaques ou de déni de service si la rançon n'est pas payée. Cette évolution a naturellement mené à des négociations complexes entre criminels et victimes. Des attaquants bien préparés L'analyse révèle que les groupes de ransomware effectuent des recherches approfondies sur leurs cibles avant de formuler leurs demandes. Ils examinent les documents financiers volés pour connaître les soldes bancaires, les polices d'assurance cyber, et adaptent leurs exigences en conséquence. Cette approche leur permet de contrer efficacement les arguments de pauvreté des victimes en citant des chiffres précis : “À la fin du dernier trimestre, vous aviez 460 millions dans votre compte bancaire.” Cette connaissance détaillée des capacités financières des victimes leur donne un avantage considérable dans les négociations, particulièrement lorsqu'ils peuvent invoquer l'existence d'une assurance cyber en déclarant que “cela ne vous coûtera absolument rien”. Une mentalité commerciale surprenante Malgré leur préparation minutieuse, les cybercriminels adoptent une approche similaire à celle de “vendeurs de voitures usagées”, privilégiant le volume de transactions. La recherche montre qu'ils sont remarquablement flexibles sur les prix, acceptant généralement environ 50% de leur demande initiale, parfois même seulement 20%. Cette flexibilité suggère que leur modèle économique repose davantage sur la multiplication des paiements que sur l'obtention du montant maximal de chaque victime. La première leçon qui en découle est claire : ne jamais accepter la première offre et toujours négocier. L'arsenal des menaces Lorsque les victimes résistent ou prétendent disposer de sauvegardes, les attaquants déploient un éventail de menaces sophistiquées. Ils promettent de nouvelles attaques dès la restauration des systèmes, des campagnes de déni de service continues, ou encore la divulgation d'informations compromettantes aux clients et partenaires. Dans un cas particulièrement révélateur, des attaquants ont menacé de dénoncer des pratiques de délit d'initié aux autorités compétentes si leur victime vendait ses actions tout en cachant l'attaque subie. Cette approche montre une compréhension fine des enjeux réglementaires et réputationnels auxquels font face les entreprises. Des services après-vente discutables De manière quasi-commerciale, les groupes criminels promettent des “services après-vente” incluant la suppression garantie de toutes les données de leurs serveurs et, plus surprenant encore, des rapports de vulnérabilités pour aider leurs victimes à éviter de futures attaques. L'analyse révèle cependant que ces rapports sont standardisés et contiennent des recommandations basiques : ne pas cliquer sur des liens suspects, activer l'authentification à deux facteurs, maintenir les systèmes à jour. Ces conseils, bien qu'utiles, relèvent de l'hygiène cybernétique élémentaire et suggèrent que ces “services” constituent davantage un argument de vente qu'une véritable valeur ajoutée. Des exceptions géopolitiques inattendues Un aspect particulièrement intrigant concerne les considérations géopolitiques de certains groupes. Un cas documenté montre des attaquants s'excusant auprès d'une victime ayant une filiale en Arménie, considérant cette région comme faisant partie de la zone d'influence russe où ils ne souhaitent pas opérer. Ils ont même fourni gratuitement l'outil de déchiffrement avec des excuses. Cette observation soulève la question fascinante de savoir si la création stratégique de filiales dans certains pays pourrait constituer une forme de protection contre ces attaques, à l'instar des mécanismes automatiques qui détectent les claviers cyrilliques pour éviter les systèmes russes. Les stratégies défensives des victimes Du côté des victimes, plusieurs stratégies récurrentes émergent de l'analyse. La minimisation constitue l'approche la plus commune : les organisations se présentent systématiquement comme de petites entités sans moyens, même lorsqu'il s'agit d'entreprises importantes. Un centre d'hébergement pour sans-abri prétendant ne pas avoir d'argent a finalement versé 125 000 dollars de rançon. Les tentatives de création de liens personnels avec les attaquants constituent une autre stratégie fascinante, évoquant potentiellement le syndrome de Stockholm. Les victimes partagent leurs difficultés internes, décrivent des environnements de travail chaotiques, ou mentionnent les dangers personnels qu'elles acceptent de courir pour obtenir des cryptomonnaies. La temporisation représente également une tactique courante, les entreprises cherchant à gagner du temps pour évaluer leurs alternatives, comprendre l'étendue des dégâts et potentiellement restaurer leurs systèmes sans payer. Le contenu des données volées : moins spectaculaire qu'attendu L'examen du contenu réellement volé révèle une réalité souvent décevante. Contrairement aux attentes, la plupart des données divulguées consistent en documents administratifs banals, anciennes sauvegardes, et fichiers personnels d'employés sans intérêt stratégique. L'exemple du Blue Leak, impliquant 250 gigaoctets de documents de services de police, illustre cette réalité : malgré des heures d'analyse, peu d'informations véritablement compromettantes ont été identifiées, principalement des manuels de formation et des présentations statistiques. L'impact économique réel Cette recherche remet en question les statistiques alarmantes souvent citées, notamment celle affirmant que 60% des PME attaquées ferment dans l'année suivante. L'observation empirique suggère que les entreprises continuent généralement leurs opérations après une attaque, et que les consommateurs maintiennent leurs habitudes d'achat même après des violations de données majeures, comme l'illustre le cas de Home Depot. L'émergence d'une industrie de la négociation Un aspect méconnu mais crucial concerne le rôle des négociateurs professionnels, souvent mandatés par les compagnies d'assurance. Ces intermédiaires spécialisés développent des relations avec les différents groupes criminels, créant une forme d'écosystème professionnel autour de ces négociations. Cette professionnalisation soulève des questions importantes sur l'efficacité de ces services et leur impact sur les montants finalement versés, un domaine qui mériterait des recherches approfondies. Implications et enseignements Cette recherche, rendue possible par la mise à disposition publique de ces archives sur ransomware.li, offre des insights précieux pour les professionnels de la cybersécurité. Elle permet aux organisations de mieux se préparer à d'éventuelles négociations en comprenant les tactiques employées de part et d'autre. L'importance de cette recherche académique ne peut être sous-estimée car elle fournit aux défenseurs des outils concrets pour gérer ces situations critiques, alimentant ainsi la réflexion stratégique du secteur. La poursuite de ces travaux, enrichie par de nouveaux cas comme celui de LockBit récemment compromis, promet d'apporter des éclairages supplémentaires sur l'évolution de cet écosystème criminel en constante mutation, confirmant que les ransomwares demeurent une menace majeure nécessitant une vigilance et une préparation continues.

In today's episode, we cover ICE Raids Spark Backlash in Los Angeles Federal agents used a rental truck to launch a surprise immigration enforcement operation outside a Home Depot in LA, arresting 16 illegal immigrants. Local officials believed such raids had been blocked by court order, but the U.S. Attorney's office says federal law will still be enforced. Meanwhile, national ICE arrest rates have declined, raising questions about the administration's overall effectiveness.

Uber está en la mira después de que una investigación determinara que la empresa no le prestó la atención debida a las más de 400 mil denuncias de agresión sexual o conducta inapropiada por parte de sus conductores. En otras noticias: Agentes de inmigración usaron un camión de mudanzas para acercarse a un Home Depot en Los Ángeles y arrestar a varios jornaleros que buscaban trabajo. Hace unas semanas el zar de la frontera Tom Homan dijo que 3000 arrestos de inmigrantes diarios eran una cifra muy baja que podría subirse a 7000. Sin embargo en entrevista declaró que no hay una cuota de arrestos para sus agentes. Dos hermanos mexicanos vivieron una pesadilla en el 'alcatraz de los caimanes' y en su llegada México contaron el infierno que vivieron en el centro de detención. Una investigación realizada por la oficina del gobernador de Georgia documentó cientos de presuntas violaciones a los derechos humanos en centros de detención de inmigrantes.

“Is your wife setting up playdates for you? If so… it might be time to reclaim your manhood.” In this bold and hilarious episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into the trending term “man-keeping”—a phenomenon where women take on the emotional and social labor for the men in their lives. From organizing their friendships to coaching them through feelings, Tricia, JB, and Sandy unpack why this dynamic is exhausting for women and unattractive to boot. Sandy shares his “bottle it up and blow once a year” emotional strategy, while JB reflects on the importance of guy time and self-sufficiency. The conversation turns to masculinity, DIY skills, and why YouTube tutorials and Home Depot wisdom are essential tools for modern men. Then, the show shifts gears to Austin's evolving urban landscape, including permanent barriers on 6th Street and “living streets” designed for pedestrians. The crew debates aesthetics, safety, and the impact on local businesses. Finally, it's all about football: Texas is ranked #1 in the preseason poll, and the season opener against Ohio State is already stirring nerves. Sandy offers unconventional self-defense tips for fans traveling to Columbus—including chicken wings as a distraction tactic.Key Moments:

Send us a textThe mountains speak to us in recovery. That special place where rivers merge becomes a profound metaphor for the spiritual transformation we undergo in sobriety—where God enables us to "match calamity with serenity." One host shares how returning to this sacred spot after gaining sobriety brought tears of gratitude rather than just momentary escape.What does love truly mean in recovery? Before sobriety, many of us believed we understood love, but as one host powerfully states, "I didn't know what love was until I got sober." Through working the steps and embracing recovery, we discover that authentic love involves giving without expectation—a concept entirely foreign during active addiction when self-centered thinking dominated every relationship.The conversation takes a challenging turn as the hosts grapple with a pressing ethical dilemma: how to handle relationships with those who continue dangerous drinking behavior. When someone repeatedly drives intoxicated, putting countless lives at risk, what responsibility do we have? Where is the line between compassion and enabling? One host's wife cuts through the uncertainty with stark clarity: "My children drive on that road. It's our fucking business."Even amid these weighty topics, lighter moments emerge as hosts share stories about navigating everyday frustrations sober—like keeping cool in backed-up Home Depot lines—and rediscovering family connections through shared meals and traditions. These seemingly ordinary experiences take on extraordinary significance when viewed through the lens of recovery.The episode concludes with exciting announcements about upcoming guests, including behavioral health professionals who'll bring expert perspectives to complement the lived experience that forms the backbone of this podcast. Whether you're newly sober or decades into recovery, these forthcoming conversations promise valuable insights for navigating the complex terrain of life without alcohol.Join us on this authentic journey through recovery's challenges and triumphs.

This week on Own It we're talking to Genna Franconi from 22squared and Trade School. She and they are based in Atlanta, Georgia. As you probably noticed, she runs two agencies. One is over a century old. The other was born out of a client need for scaling audience-based content.  Gemma came up through the account side of the business and worked her way to the C-Suite at 22squared before founding Trade School as a spin-off firm, eventually earning leadership and partial ownership of the company. The two firms work with great brands like Home Depot, Publix, Baskin Robbins and many more.  Genna has also become an avid pickleball player in addition to her work and her children. We have so much in common. I loved this discussion. I know you will as well. You can find links to Genna's LinkedIn profile and the agency websites for 22Squared and Trade School in our show notes at untilyouownit.com.  If you're enjoying Own It, please find it on your favorite podcast app and drop us a rating and review.

Sunday! What a day! Got up early. Took the wife to Home Depot for some stuff she needed for her last week of Art Camp. Got home and found our yards irrigation system had cracked at the iron filter cover! Well water spewing everywhere. That filter cover has not been changed in about 13 years. No one anywhere had another! Dug down and found the wells shut off valve. Why these are underground, I'll never figure out…The well is shut down, the pump is powered down and repair team is coming Wednesday.

Wandering around Home Depot looking for assistance this week reminded me of all those digital self-help marketplace voices whispering “I have what you need!” Sooo many offerings that supposedly will help us get what we most desire, whether that is weight loss, permanent inner peace, the key to navigating family trauma tripwires, or the perfect gizmo to further ease my existence.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Howdy fellas, Love the podcast!  I'm in the process of building a bench and misjudged how much wood I could get out of a board.  The plans call for two stretchers of 3/4 maple about 65" long and 4.5" wide.  After squaring and thicknessing, I'm down to 0.75-by-65-by-4.25 which is 1/4" too narrow.  I initially thought I'd start over with a new board, but have decided to forge ahead with the slightly narrower stretchers since it won't impact the joiner, should still be plenty strong and will probably be imperceptible.  In this example or others from your experience, how big of a boo-boo do you allow in your projects?  Sorry if you've covered this before, I'm still catching up. Thanks, Bryan In a previous podcast, Brian mentioned he had used raking light after sanding and was impressed by how clearly sanding marks were visible.  I have tried to deliberately use raking light to identify sanding issues.   You can lift a small item at a angle towards an overhead light and sight along the surface which works but if it is larger surface this isn't practical. I have taken an led trouble light and held it at an angle close to surface but rarely see the sanding marks stand out.   At some point in the afternoon sunlight hits the top of a project and marks are clearly visible   .  Any suggestions on  using raking lighting on larger surfaces?  Thanks for the great program, look forward to each new podcast. Dave at Xcuse4tools Custom Woodwork Guys Questions: Appreciate you all and look forward to your podcast. I was making raised panel doors for the cabinets in my shop. The panels are cut on the tablesaw with a tall fence jig and the blade tilted. This works well but leaves a few saw marks on the beveled portion of the panel which need to be cleaned up. The best way i know to sand this area is to wrap sandpaper around a small flat piece of plywood and manually sand it. This is time consuming and you are sanding across grain on two of the four bevels. I was wondering if there are any powered options available. I still have a quarter sheet sander but you hit the outer edge of panel if you use this on the bevel. Have you used a mop or star sanding wheel?  This appears to be good for contours. Hoping you might have some insights possibly with Huy's recent furniture restoration efforts. Thanks, Dave@Xcuse4tools Custom Woodwork Hi there, As always, love the podcast and all of the insights and expertise you share. I'm preparing to do a built-in cabinetry project for our entertainment center. The full set of cabinets will be be about 11 1/2 feet wide. I'm planning to do shaker style doors, but with a beaded pdf panel with vertical beads going across the full width of the panel. I know Guy is probably going to say, “I'd just buy the panels and be done with it”, but let's say that I really wanted to make them myself. How would you recommend cutting all of those beads. I have a Powermatic PM2000 and a nice cast iron router table and handheld routers, but no CNC. I recently saw a video where someone made these kinds of panels with a “Magic Molder” on the table saw. Would love to hear if you have any other methods. Pete Huys Questions: I have been woodworking for 6 years and have learned allot from your podcast. I recently took a finishing class and learned about the different finishes. Mineral spirits is the recommended thinner for oil based finishes. Why does Guy recommend Naphtha. What is the difference between Naphtha and Mineral Spirits. What advantage is there in using Naphtha. Thank you for all the great information you bring to the community. John Gents - Apologies for the long story, but you asked for questions. At the peak of the COVID pandemic I found myself watching far too many YouTube channels and came upon makers using European combination machines. Call it boredom or simply a need for a good excuse to travel during a traffic density period we hope to never see again, I researched a variety of brands and settled on a Robland X-31. This 1,100 pound beast is equipped with a sliding table saw, jointer, planer, shaper and mortiser. It replaced the Delta Unisaw with a 52” Unifence, a 6” Delta clone jointer sold as “Pit Bull,” and a DeWalt DW-735 that I paid $220 because HomeDepot decided to run a price match plus 10-odd percent discount the same week HomeBase was doing its going out of business liquidation. Price shopping for the best planner deal was just a walk-about as both stores shared a common parking lot. So back to the Robland. I convinced myself that I need a change. I started milling logs and the Pit Bull wasn't going to cut face jointing wide boards. I needed a 12” jointer. The 20 by 24 foot shop could not accommodate length of a dedicated 12” jointer, said the little voice in my head. I could sell the Unisaw and the Pit Bull, stuff the DeWalt in a cabinet, it said. The collective footprint of these three tools (the DeWalt was on a mobile base) would be about the same as the X-31, it declared. It will fit into a one-car garage if and when you downsize, it summarized. So off to new custodians these two reliable tools that faithfully served hundreds of tasks. I trekked from Sacramento, California to Yakima, Washington with my 85-year-old dad to pickup a rarely used (red flag as it turned out) green X-31 that had - as the second owner said - sat in the basement of a dentist. Fast forward to today … can't say, yet, if I like or dislike the Robland. It is a pain in the ass to set up. The jointer works great once one learns how to accommodate the relatively short wings. I had electrical problems for the first year. I appreciate the planer's 9” capacity. I miss the efficiency of moving from one dedicated machine to another.  There is little end snipe compared to the 735. I don't know if I'll ever use the mortiser, particularly after buying a Domino. I love the cross cut table. I hate the lack of micro adjustment to the blade height on the table saw. The shaper is a great addition to the shop. It pains me that woodworking with a micrometer was helpful with the Unisaw and is a frustration with the Robland. As I deal deal with these tool grievances, the questions: 1. What would be your advice to a new woodworker to purchase dedicated vs. combination machines? What combination would you recommend and why? 2. We're friends here, right? Did I make a mistake with the Robland? Finally, at risk of being accused of pandering: I agree with Guy's sentiment that the SawStop is a good tool, but its safety feature isn't a replacement for responsible use of power tools. There is a reason SawStop doesn't warranty for injuries. Age for age, I wouldn't trust a 10-year-old SawStop any more than I would a vintage Walker Turner table saw. Hey guys, --------------------------------- First off, thanks for all the knowledge you share—I've been woodworking for a while, but I'm always learning from your podcast. During COVID, I sold my Delta Unisaw, jointer, and DeWalt planer to pick up a Robland X-31 combo machine with a sliding saw, jointer, planer, shaper, and mortiser. I loved the idea of saving space and getting a 12" jointer, but now I have mixed feelings. I like the crosscut table and shaper, but I miss the efficiency and precision of dedicated machines, and the X-31 can be a hassle to set up. So my questions are: 1) For someone just getting into woodworking, would you recommend dedicated machines over a combination unit? Why? 2) Be honest—did I make a mistake going with the Robland? Thanks again for all the insight you share each week. Craig

Tim and Mark Thompson cruise into the final hour chatting about LA's brand-new Tesla Cafe and how it's become a hotspot just 24 hours after opening. The conversation zips from dogs in public spaces to a spirited East vs. West Coast debate, before landing on Target's decision to kill off price matching—RIP to retail fairness. Tim shares a cart crash story at Home Depot (with zero apology received), then shifts to somber news with an update on the Encino double homicide featuring audio from NBC LA's Eric Leonard. Later, the crew dives into the new Billy Joel documentary—Crozier even has a personal connection—and they close the hour honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne, reflecting on celebrity passings and the strange tradition of visiting their Hollywood Stars.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Steve Selengut. Also known as The Income Coach. Here's a detailed summary of the episode:

Geoengineering specialist Dane Wigington joins the show to discuss the theory that recent catastrophic flooding in Texas was artificially engineered using weather manipulation technologies, including cloud seeding and electromagnetic transmissions.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Wigington about a company called Rain Maker, led by a 25-year-old funded by Peter Thiel, which conducted cloud seeding just days before the floods—though Wigington claims this served as a distraction from the real cause: NEXRAD frequency manipulation. Wigington asserts that such weather modification is part of broader covert climate engineering operations used for control, land clearing, and geopolitical pressure. He also warns about the health risks from toxic nanoparticles used in these operations, urging people to pursue careful heavy metal detoxification through chelation. Plus segments on FBI Assistant Director Dan Bongino's threats to quit the agency over the Epstein files debacle, a U.N. report pointing out that Google made more than a billion dollars from the Gaza genocide and Joe Rogan criticizing Trump's pursuit of illegal immigrants outside of Home Depot locations. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Sam Tripoli!
