We're looking at widespread rain for much of the day beginning around sunrise and staying moderate at most through the afternoon hours but between the afternoon hours through about midnight tomorrow is when the heaviest and more impactful weather begins to move on through as the storm system makes its way through. With that comes a moderate to heavy rainfall at times. These rainfall amounts between tomorrow and early Wednesday look to be on the range of around one to two and a half inches of rain. Along with that we'll have east winds coming in around 10 to 20 miles an hour gusting to about 30 to 35 miles an hour and then through on the are temperatures going that to struggle to get out of the 40s so just a really miserable day unfortunately.

A highlight from Operacin Bitcoins: Del Infierno a la Resurreccin

"With the story of Alberto Daniel Gil, the crypto and informatics expert, he was justly invited to speak for a speech that did not come to mind. For Manuel Rangel. In February of 2017, the US government, the press of the secure and medical services that function similar to a cooperative, most important of the Pekingo and Ermoso countries of Uruguay, was vulnerable informatically. The cybercriminals entered the portal's base, dropping thousands of megabytes of confidential information from their patients, In total, the recompensas that were solicited were a total of $60 ,000. Ironically, the worst mistake that all cybercriminals had was the fact that they did not follow a paid direction. This story started. Obviously, in the Catholic circuit of Uruguay, the mutualists were affected by institutions that had more than one side of the foundation, not because of the mass crusades. During the weeks, they worked with the police to restrain the extortionists. Six months later, the second Minister of the Interior came with a direction, and he knew that he was supposedly vulnerable to the mass attacks of the press. As if it were a movie, the policy of Montevideo changed the apartment of Alberto Daniel Gil, an informatic engineer of 40 years ago, among the informatics, computers, and blockchain technology. Alberto had in his house collections of different types of hardware, computers, depositors of his own, sellers of their own, or analysts of crypto -monetas. This was the policy that controlled dollars and euros in effect, a tool to grab and remove magnetic charges, and various signs of these plastic things as a number, and a car of Guy Fawkes, the one that was converted into a symbol of the anarchists in the whole world. Bingo. Excuse the policy. These elements are sufficient evidence to demonstrate that Alberto is the hacker that used it. One of his most basic records, his personal information, included a constant monitoring activity on the web, and he received a judicial process with many inconsistencies. Alberto was in prison, not satisfied with this. His case was found through communication media, as a big part of the technological section of the General General's office to control the criminal crime in Interpol, and from the same presidency of the Republic, publicly, as the terrorized protagonist of Bitcoin's operations, as the first case of information and crypto -monetas extortion and crypto -monetas in this country. The case was made. Para Nada. The last of the eight cases in the case of Durasno in Uruguay. Alberto Daniel Gil is liberated from the appeal. His request for liberty is with only mission, limiting his number and inviting him to justice as to what he is committing against his people. Alberto knows that he is innocent, and continues to not relate. He is well -voluted, as a hacker, and he has brought the support of his peers. And as you know, Alberto is a hacker, and has not only his profession, but his personal identity during the decades. He is a hacker of his own life, but he has been able to use his own in the period of being killed in public opinion. The first hacker, who was in the case of a prison in Uruguay, has found his innocence and has evidence to demonstrate it. Here we have to understand that Alberto was not condemned for the death of someone, and his death in the case of Durasno is not that the people consider but that he had the probability of death, assuming that his information could interfere with the rest of the process, for what was considered a preventive prison between the authorities and the students of the case. To understand everything, we have to remind ourselves of two decades ago. Alberto Daniel Gil has more than twenty years of experience in the area of computers, working for important companies and, for the same reason, working precisely in the environment that we live in, the security of information. In 2004, when PENAS started the massification of the Internet, his name was known as the one that affected the first information in a case related to infant pornography, the one for which he did not cover his ears. He has the experience of collaborating with the Interpol. As an infant of information, his contact with the city of Satousina came to an end, enamoring the fact that blockchain technology is free of humanity. He also dedicated part of his life to share his knowledge and to fund the idea of decentralization through workshops and conferences. In few words, Alberto is an engineer who is convinced that information can improve social processes and, in consequence, generate a better world. Everything is a philosophy of being compatible with the details of what is needed. Here we are a few years old. The truth is, the media of communication and the culture of the scene and the television generate what the word hacker has a very negative connotation in the last years. It is very common to look at a series of Hollywood productions, the typical representation of a hacker, and, in a certain amount of lines, and by offering them money, with the intention of buying dollars, a process that seconds after the second one. A very bad image of the world, if you buy and extortionate with digital information, only the work of a small sector of criminals can go against the word hacker. and the ethics of the hacker community. Alberto is sure that it is normal for hackers to go on the Internet and provide the security of the cities they visit. It is a time when they should better their abilities. If they find a way of security, the hacker has the responsibility to notify the company or institution that their web is vulnerable to any attack. Therefore, Alberto has the sense of the records of his constant reports at the center of reports of security incidents in Uruguay. It is his governmental institution dedicated to protecting the government and enforcing the laws of cybernetics. This was precisely what he saw in 2014. His new job was to check out his medical records in the police department. By the time Alberto entered the office, he had to consult the data that was used to provide the security of the office. In order to find a critical vulnerability, he found that the server and the access club would be able to access the admin and the server would be able to find more generic Internet addresses. In terms of administrator, he found that not only the data of his wife, if not all of his patients were in the office, and not only that, including the financial information of the company, was lost. Therefore, Alberto had invited Envio and Correo to be notified of these fake records against the election and pay and methods that were used to increase it, which were already being contested. In 2015, he found that he had the knowledge of an appropriate control of access to the city, for which he did not report the problem. Satisfied by having completed his work, Alberto was able to continue his life and his projects until three years later, he found a part of the police department of Montevideo, so that he had access to an interpreter for a case of cybernetics. Alberto, without anything else, he had to assist the city. In the end, he expected to function in the Interpol, which was introduced to Alberto and asked him about his connection with the company. Completely sincere, Alberto related how three years later he found a fake critic against the portal web, what was being reported until the city was retweaked. He was the one who was there for a year or so. In continuation, he sent the email to the guy who was not able to confirm the base details of the press, asking him to publicize it if he had received any victims. Alberto did not know who Envio was and who had the portal web. However, he did not know who Envio was. A guy from GuyFolks came to the Interpol profile. As we talked about in the beginning, September 10th of 2017, the police and room in Alberto's apartment were a typical part of an information -informed company with computer computers. The first thing that alarmed the police was a book about Bitcoin, a very new and revolutionary topic that revealed the profound knowledge of the functioning of the crypto -monetization and the relationship of this in his mind by the press with the board of directors, leaving them all speechless and immediate. From there, Alberto is a passionate person of this topic. In 2015, he received a private capital from the second book of his life, which permitted him to write some crypto -like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Eterion, and three others to posteriorly accept transactions from companies with some issues because they have thousands of dollars and euros in effect. Now, all of his life is what Alberto justified in a perfect manner. Don't cry. Don't cry when Alberto justified because he had 50 dicks during his studies, if he had laptops and hardware of all types. As good information, one of the habits of Alberto is to disarm all types of computer computers to their interior and to provide different operating systems and many other activities. This is how he is able to accumulate in his poor habits and to become free of crypto -monetization. What is important to convince the investigators that he had found the criminal that his wife was the target owner and one of the target owners of Credit and Debit. The police assumed that Alberto had the number of TDCs online and the number of his targets before the clear explanation of Alberto, who precisely found a investigation about the security problems related to credit targets. Then, the investigation showed that he had the number of TDCs in where he had them. For the last time, in the experience presented to Alberto, the police indicated that he had found an agent in his apartment. Yes, that is the positive of the discussions in the media. The same with the one recorded on the case of Louis D .C. and Maria Antonietta during the French Revolution. The reality? A simple courtesan of Papel. The final evidence that was used to present as a premise until the communication media was Guy Fawkes, which, as we know, is the symbol of the international hackers. For the Interpol director, this curiosity was an definitive evidence of his own ability. Not only the explanation of Alberto in this and the most important elements in his apartment, the police needed to resolve the case, and even were able to demonstrate that he had captured the first terrorized story of Uruguay. The case of this case that here is the case of the process of Alberto. The experience of this case is not exact and not correct. Furthermore, the police also saw how the evidence performed, and other personal elements. It included the values of his son, of his mother and a great friend, who was killed and killed all of the children, not outside of all the problems for Alberto. If Alberto has knowledge of this case, the police will be provided with his automobile and his car. As we mentioned, the Ministry of Interior indicates that the investigation of the case of his his son and that in the place Alberto and in the second place because of investigation of the case of and his son and his car. The Ministry of indicates that the outside of case of his son and his car is provided with the information to indicate that his son and his with the his son and his car and his car his son and his and are to indicate that his son and his provided with the information that son and his son and son and his son and his son and his son and and his mom and his son and and and and his son and his Vete se incluso antes que el propios a tosy na camo uto, pero no sabía ni síquiras que era una dirección IP.

A highlight from 119: Part 1: Ed Calderon Fights Cartels, Corruption, and Crime in Tijuana, Mexico

"It's been a recurring thing that I hear like, oh, the DEA arrested him. No, we didn't say that. The guys we talked to made it very clear it was the Mexican Marines who went in, you know, they were working with them, but you're saying it was two federal police officers? He carjacked us. No, I mean, eventually, but I'm talking about the operation. I know what you're getting at, the actual arrest. The actual arrest was done by two federal roadside cops. He's in a dirty white, he's in a dirty t -shirt, you know. Yeah, he went through a sewer because he had some of the most advanced escape safe houses that anybody's ever seen in Mexico. At least on that end, he was the top of the game. And I say this because it seems to me that a lot of effort was put into the narrative of this operation, you know, and it was boggling the mind to some of us that have been in that field for years to try Why all that effort over some specific guy? You know, because if you designate somebody as a big figurehead and then you get that figurehead, you claim victory, you go, hey, we've done something about it, as opposed to have you really. I mean, is it about the stat or is it about the actual impact? And I know, Murph, we've had these discussions before. Well, even, and so the reason I was in Mexico City on those original meetings is as I was working out of our special operations division and I was running the Mexico Central America section. And I can't get into a lot of detail on some of this because it's, some of it's still classified and some of it you just don't want people to know capabilities. But there was a lot of discussion about that guy, about Chapo, and there were assets in place that could monitor certain things. The execution part was the problem. And this was back in, what do you say, 2003? I was there from 01 to 06, so this was 03 or 04. And my suggestion to everybody was let's bring in our special operators, just like we did in Columbia against Pablo. The problem is, once we got, we had Dev Groom, we had Delta down there with us, but then their general said, well, you can only be in the base, you can't go out in the field. Special mission unit Delta, Delta Force doesn't exist. Not the best frickin' operators in the world were confined to base. I mean, these guys are the frickin' studs of the world. But here was the difference. The Colombians invited us down there, the Mexicans won't. Mexico has a very, and I'm Mexican by birth, and I'm making my way into being a citizen in the U .S. Mexico in general has a very difficult relationship with the United States foreign policy, and it's historically been pretty bad on the Mexican end. So inviting the U .S. military to operate in Mexico is political suicide in every single way, shape, or form you can have in Mexico. If you do that, you're dead politically, and the army knows this. You go all the way back to Pancho Villa and the Alamo, and this is not something that just happened yesterday. Yeah, but I've heard rumors of very tall people wearing federal police uniforms that didn't know how to respond in Spanish. I was around for some of those weird fuckin' events. The main issue, I think, is that Mexico is realistically free -for -all and lawless. If the United States really wanted to stop the fentanyl flow through its borders, it would probably have to set up some sort of military or naval blockade on the Pacific and the Atlantic side. I've floated this idea of actually discussing this with the guy at DOD this morning, talking about the legalities of it. You almost get to the point where you have to declare a demilitarized zone. You have to say three miles either side of this is open for military action. To your point, you've got to blockade everything from the border to the water to the airspace. We're almost back into a Tom Clancy, clear and present danger thing, where you have to declare, until they declare the cartels a terrorist organization or something that gives them an official designation to go after them. To your point, it's a political issue and it's not been handled well. The whole terrorist designation thing, it's interesting. They're in politicized every way. That's why Mexico has one of the most... They assassinate a lot of political candidates in Mexico. I think it's one of the places where it's one of the most dangerous places to be one in the world. They also go after the press a lot because members of the press report on one side or the other. They're very much politicized and they're very much in the political sphere. They hang people from bridges and the amounts of the ISIS execution videos that you would see back in the day were all realistically inspired by the Mexican ones. The cartels they were doing this year, this wasn't anything new to them, beheading people. We got so upset, and we should have, when ISIS beheaded a couple of captors. But then there'd be 10 people you'd find buried in a mass grave all had their heads taken off and it was like just another day in news reporting. The ones that really pioneered the whole projecting horrible events aspect of it was Mexico. The cartels were posting some of these execution videos before ISIS. It's been interesting to see them basically express every single element that you would consider for a terrorist organization. It's a transnational group engaging in violence for a political end. They affect elections, they affect spending, they affect... I don't know why we haven't designated them that, but then the question is even if we did, what would change? I think I know one of the reasons why that hasn't happened, and it's a political and immigration reason. As soon as you declare all these organizations a terrorist organization, everybody coming over that border, fleeing from the violence, now has a legal claim to asylum. And that is a big issue. I think that is at the core of things. It's not like it's stopping anything at this point either. I mean, it's when you look at what's coming across, it's like everybody's claiming asylum anyway. Yeah. I mean, it's a hard issue. It's a complex one. Something has to be done, and if it isn't done, something's going to be forced upon the United States to react, and I think that's where we're headed. Five years ago, I said in five years, not two years ago, I said in five years, we're going to see some sort of military intervention by the U .S. and Mexico. And with everything that's going on, I think I'm pretty well on my way to kind of be right about that. Members of Congress have talked about that. It's a bipartisan thing, so something's coming. We're heading into elections now in Mexico. And what do you think about the woman candidate? Do you think she's got a shot? There seems to be absolutely nobody in the political realm that has any sort of name behind them. I think she's going to be a sure win for these coming elections. guy The other that was running, Evrat, who was basically taken out, he had some interesting ideas about the state of security in Mexico. And I think some of these are going to be rehashed by this political candidate. He had something called the Plan Anquil for Mexico, which is basically an AI -ran, Chinese state -provided security plan that involves social credit. Social credit, here we go again. Yeah, it's social credit and surveillance and drones and you name it, basically. And he showcases video of the people that were involved in the creation of this. There's a big segment of that on the Chinese president showing up in that video. I think that's where we're headed. There's open hostility and there's an open political hostility between Mexico and the United States now. There's a lot of tension going on and China's being invited in. And you can see that in different letters of the politics in Mexico and anti -Americanism in Mexico is at an all -time high. So it's a perfect storm. Let's rewind a little bit because I want to talk a little bit more about your time on the police force now and on this experimental group. What were some of the things that you got involved in that you started... At some point you felt like you could make a difference, right? So what were the things that you were doing that you thought, hey, man, I really can make a difference. I really can impact things. What kind of operations or things were you guys doing? We would basically get information from basically a national platform of information that just got started through leadership. And our leadership was basically the military members that were working in a civilian capacity at this point, like Lezola. Since they were members of the military and they were high ranking officers, they had access to information that none of us could ever have access to. So there was a clear line of communication from the top all the way to the bottom. And we had people that we can trust, that we can work with. And we had actual secrecy within the groups once we were settled. So we'd basically be going out every night, figuring some of these target packages out. From growth sites to laboratories to people who were running some of the most sophisticated abduction and ransom operations the world had ever seen back then. To just figuring out where things were coming from and where they were going to. A lot of that work was done in cooperation with the United States. I got to work on a lot of stuff with our liaison unit. So it was basically, you could see the pace of it as soon as Lezola got involved in actually being the director of us. And getting everything lined up so we could operate, it was clear. It was work being done, it was fear being felt on the other side of the table, the people we were fighting. Our weapons changed. Before we were on, it was unheard of to see a police officer carrying around a fully automatic rifle. Or a grenade launcher for that fact. Slowly but surely he started arming us and preparing us for a war. He very much treated it as a war, or as a counter -insurgency is what he would say. He would, instead of sending us out in small groups, he would send us out in big groups and we would operate in different parts of the city during the night and we would move around. So it was an unknown where we were going to be or what was going to happen. We didn't even know where we were going to be sometimes. Some nights we would just be moved around randomly. What was your area of responsibility? Just Tijuana or the state? All of Baja. I worked outside of Baja a few times on loan, but mostly all of Baja. And Mexico, if I remember, is structured, is it 38 states or 37 states? 37 states, I think. So you've got state police forces, right? Then you've got a federal police force. So back then the federal police was basically army guys dressed in grey and they would ride in the back of our trucks. That was the federal police back then when it first got started. It eventually professionalized and they were trying to figure out, so they were trying to catch up with what we were doing basically. But back then the federal police was army guys dressed in grey in the back of the truck. So there's federal police, state police, and local municipal police. The municipal police historically and all over the country has been the issue. Because it's local police that live there, that have their families living there, and obviously it's a very easy target to go after. And since there's a lot of them, you know, it's hard to move anything in a city without them knowing. So that's who the cartels basically didn't get involved with directly. And I think you mentioned it in an interview you did, it basically boils down to right, plateau or plomo, right? These guys are living there. Yeah, Lezola had a very interesting approach to cleaning up some of those municipal institutions. He basically took, when Tijuana was very corrupt, back then it still is now, but there was a time when he cleaned it up for a bit. He would go into the police precincts and say, hey, who's in charge? This guy. Oh, cool. Obviously he's in leagues with one of the two cartels that are fighting over Tijuana. So he would send him, move him to the precinct that was being ran by the other cartel. They would switch him. So they would immediately quit and then he would put his people in, you know? It was basically the best confident exam ever. Immediately most of these people would quit the next day. This sounds like Northern Ireland, the Protestants and the Catholics, you know, you switch things up. That's an issue in Mexico. I mean, some of this corruption just goes deep and is blood related. It's historic and it's very fractured. Even within a single city, you'll see one side of the city is involved with one group and the other side is involved with the other. So politics are always, it's a game of thrones almost, a level thing. But he did a lot of, we were working daily to get things back to a sense of normal or a sense of safety. When we were, when I got started, these cartel groups would broad daylight run around the city in convoys with AKs out the window, this Tijuana. And by the time we were probably five or six years in, that didn't happen anymore. They were hiding now. So things were changing. So we did feel that things were changing. How did you make it change? I mean, what did you do to make it? Because obviously at some point there's got to be, I mean, violence is inherent in things that happen like this. But how did you, from an operational standpoint, you talk about even like an insurgency. Do you get the public to work with you on this or is this just simply your tactics and your own resources? I think the municipal police was key. Lieutenant Colonel Isaulabe specifically went after cleaning up, professionalizing and sorting out the municipal police locally and using us as a brace to hold things while that was happening. And the municipal police was disarmed for a few weeks at some point. All of the municipal police in Tijuana, their guns were taken. So all of us were basically used and the military were used as an auxiliary police force in Tijuana. I remember going out on a few responding calls and that's probably the bulk of my real community policing experience was when I was basically replacing the municipal police. So he went at things systematically and I think he was allowed to do a lot at different layers of the government, which is why he was so successful. Since he came from the federal branch of the military, he was involved directly in basically institutionalizing a professional police force at a state level with us. And then he was put in charge of the municipal police in Tijuana. So he attacked it from three layers and from three sides. And I think that's what led to his success cleaning up the city, at least for the time it was, because it's pretty much back to square one right now. Was that during the Arellano Felix days? It was at the tail end of them. Something happened to the Arellano Felix cartel, probably related to most of their members being arrested or killed. There was a fracture there. A few of their top level lieutenants basically switched sides to the Sinaloa cartel. Among them, a guy named, they used to call him the three letters El Teo. He basically formed a hyper violent Sinaloa cartel cell in Tijuana and then went to war with the remnants of the Arellano Felix cartel. That's the bulk of the violence that I saw during the time that it was initially active down there. You would see 12 people show up dead one night. You would see shootouts in the middle of the day in different parts of the city. You would see the military basically show up and be involved in some of these shootouts as well. So it was very much an urban warfare setting. With a lot of the things I saw, I think when we would go to foreign training and learn from other people, I think I remember having this moment where we were being shown some of the IRA violence that happened back in the day in Ireland. How they were fighting the military, the English basically. That very much reminded me of some of the stuff that was happening in Baja at that time. I was going to say, we had two of my friends on from New Scotland Yard, the Counterterrorism Command, and one of them was working back in the day when it was the Royal Ulster Constabulary during the troubles in Northern Ireland and some of the tactics they did. He was there. He actually responded when they blew up Lord Mountbatten and the boat that he was on. We always wondered how much cross -pollination, was there any cross -pollination between the provisional IRA and some of those folks that are ending up in Mexico to teach them techniques to resist? Bomb making in Mexico comes directly from the IRA. There's no question about it. IRA people were arrested and detained in Colombia training the FARC members. Some of those same techniques and tactics have shown up in bomb testing fields in Guadalajara and Jalisco, for example. Those homemade mortar devices, mining explosives being utilized to arm civilian drones and to disperse very poisonous chemical pesticides as part of the payload. A lot of these actually do stem from some IRA influence, so there's definitely an influence there as far as the explosives that have been found all over Mexico. We've been experiencing this renaissance of explosives all over Mexico recently. Roadside IEDs are now a thing, and the military is actually learning and preparing for them now. It's something that hadn't happened realistically. We've had car bombs before, but roadside IEDs are now being utilized in places like Michoacán, for example. Murph, when you and Javier were down there going after Pablo, how many bombs a day were going off at the peak? It wasn't unusual to have 10 or 15 per day. There was one evening when we'd been out on ops all day, we came back, we were at the base in Medellín. That night we heard 17 different bombs go off. Wow. In Mexico, there's places where these bombs are being utilized, specifically drone ones. We don't have a lot of ordnance laying around all over the place, but we do have a shit ton of mining explosives that are all over the place. Do you see them using the ammonium nitrate to blow things up also? Every now and then, specifically what they utilize is a thing called Cemex, which is basically mining -level plastic explosives. Those loads are usually made with that. It's controlled and restricted, but it's Mexico. You can't have a gun unless you're poor. If you're poor, you can't have a gun, but if you have money, you can get whatever you want here. Let's talk a little bit more, because this leads into a discussion about, you're on for a long time, but you kind of crossed, as they say, the Rubicon. There becomes a point to where you realize, hey, what I'm doing isn't making a difference anymore. There are some changes in the government, changes in the unit. What starts happening where you start seeing going, yeah, this is not something I think I can do for the next 20 years. I've got to start thinking of an exit strategy. When does that kind of thinking start happening for you? I mean, it lays all the leaves, and it leaves under very bad terms, basically. Bad terms with who? With the government. He's basically pushed out by people who think he's doing too well of a job. Two of our guys get brutally killed, and one of them came out of the academy with me. I knew his family. Great guy. What's his name? Arenas. All right. We salute him. We dedicate this to your buddy. Absolutely. He was a lawyer. He had no reason to go into the police force. He just wanted to make a difference, and he had a giant heart. He was picked up outside of the hotel we were staying at by some dudes dressed in federal police uniforms who were not federal police. And while we were all being basically concentrated in the city to find these people, he was told to step down. That was the first major blow. Was he getting too close to something or just being too effective? I think he was being too effective. He was being too effective and too broad in his approach is what I think probably happened. He was basically going after everybody, and that is not something you could do for a long period in Mexico, apparently. Did he eventually suffer an injury? He over had nine assassination attempts on his life. They tried to poison him with the fruit juice that they would put in his fridge in the office. A military convoy was cloned. They found Hummers painted exactly like the military, and they were going to ambush him in some part of the city. A friend of mine was involved in the security, and he did some legendary shit to get him out of that. Eventually, when he was the police chief of Juarez, when he was leaving that job, he got shot in the back by somebody. That cost him the use of his legs. He's in a wheelchair now. He's still smart as hell, and I'm still afraid of him as a man, but when he left, it basically gutted us. He created a very velocos, forward -driven, militarized police force with a lot of dudes running around with machine guns just ready to respond to shit. All of a sudden, we were neutered. We were told to quiet down. We were told to be less overt. We were told to go back to community policing. We were told to stand down, basically. Things started slowly changing. Politically, this to -the -right presidency left office and was replaced by a central leftist presidency that was more of the old guard of politics in Mexico, the PRI as its own. The PRI, right. They had ruled for a long time. They lost the first election, I think. Wasn't it after Vicente Fox? Didn't he lose? In the PRI, that was their last. Vicente Fox and Calderón got back to the PRI with Pena Nieto. When he came in, a lot of stuff happened. It's the amnesia effect, is what I call it. Every presidential cycle ends, and anything that worked, if it worked because it was because of the other party, fuck that. It's gone. Gee, that sounds familiar. It certainly does. It's not unique to Mexico, pal. I think what's unique to Mexico is that they will throw out everybody. I mean, it doesn't matter if you have, there's no job security. Imagine this. Every five years, you would fire everybody from the FBI and rehire everybody new. This is the level of retardation that I'm talking about. You had these institutions that were built up over the span of two presidential cycles, like the one that I belong to. They were doing the job, they were getting good at it in a lot of ways, and then a lot of the people that were fired because of the polygraph exams being failed sued the government and were hired back because that's not illegal grounds to fire anybody, even though they were on the take. You would see people that hadn't been on the force in six years, seven years, just all of a sudden just show back off the office, people that you clearly knew that were working on the other side or back. And some of these guys you had actually arrested, right? Some of them were arrested by the unit that I was in, yeah, and they were back. That's got to be a weird feeling is that you realize you were in handcuffs, you were kicked off, you were charged, and now you're back. I mean, you talk about trust issues, I mean, inherently. They were laughing in the office. The cars that were in the parking lot, I didn't earn an absurd amount of money and I basically drove the same car driving into that job as the one that left that job just for discretion purposes. But some of the absurdity you would see in those parking lots after these changes were made, it was pretty fascinating. The overt nature of the corruption was like, oh, yeah, we're not going to hide anymore. Let's just take my Hummer H2 to work. In the meantime, go check us out.

"Rework the model it uses to price prescription drugs. nation's The largest drugstore chain will simplify the formula it uses to set those prices and it could very well how impacts American pharmacies are paid in the future and also how much you pay for your prescriptions. Anna Matthews who covers health insurance for the Wall Street Journal joined us earlier with more on CVS's new pricing model. CVS is saying it wants to be paid based on what it spends to acquire the drugs so it would get paid that amount plus a markup plus a flat fee to cover the cost of the services it provides. Why is CVS doing this and has there been a push because everybody's complaining People definitely complain about drug prices no doubt about that. CVS is doing this partly to stabilize the financial future of retail pharmacy. They say that this will help ensure that they have a sort of steady income for that business as they try to maintain it amid challenges, frankly, margins that have been challenged by the pharmacy payment model that exists now. They've also said they want to add to the transparency in the drug supply chain. It's pretty opaque right now and very confusing to most consumers even to many people in the industry. Well given that CVS is such a large chain is it likely that others will follow them in this pricing model? That definitely remains to be seen. We will see have to if Walgreens for instance and others in the space choose to make a similar move. but CVS is they're the biggest still definitely not the entire industry and we don't know what will happen next. And Anna what about the cost to us the consumers? So if I'm going to get my prescriptions filled at CVS will I see anything any cheaper? It'll be phased in over time so the first phase of this will affect consumers in that the new prices that CVS is moving toward will be available through certain drug discount cards starting in the first half of 2024. Then in the start of 2025 the new pricing is to supposed go into effect for people who have drug plans through their employers essentially. So that's when it would probably hit a greater number of people. What they said is that it could mean that certain drugs cost a little more, certain drugs cost a little less. It should sort of pencil out in the end but there will be some changes. Anna Matthews covers health insurance for the Wall Street Journal. Quick look at the top stories we're working on for you, WTOP. The FBI says it had some interaction with the man who died in the home explosion in Arlington last night. He is being identified as James Hughes. The Senate confirms more than 400 military nominees after Alabama Republican Senator Tommy dropped his one man hold. Keep it here for full details on these stories the minutes ahead. And it's 618 And it's traffic and weather on the 8th. Dave Dildine in the WTOP Traffic Center. The new crash on I 6. It is westbound west of Fairfax County Parkway near Fair Lakes. Many vehicles involve big cluster of damaged vehicles and camera blocking the left main lanes and maybe part of the right side of the 66 express lanes. But all traffic in the main lanes is getting by to the right. for And now there is no delay in the 66 express lanes but with extra caution as you pass Fair Lakes and go westbound in those express lanes. It's been a rough ride around the Beltway and Virginia out of loop just miserably slow from the Dulles Toll Road all the way down to the Springfield interchange. There was a big hay truck fire between the 95 south and 395 North ramps. Outer loop traffic does get by in the main lanes. Four lanes are open to continue the around outer loop or take the 395 North exit ramp but very slow getting a look at the remains of this truck fire. There's not much left of it. The skid loader is picking up the rest of the hay that burned but it's just the far left lanes that go into the express lanes that are still blocked. Meanwhile on the outer loop traffic is coming jammed out of Tysons across the Legion Bridge. The crash beyond River Road was moved out of the center and put on the left shoulder about as far over as they can get it. There is enough room for all lanes to get by but very slowly move over law if you can move over out of that left lane please do so. 50 Arlington Boulevard eastbound into Seven Corners delayed because of a crash that happened near South Street and we've got some bailout coming into Arlington on 66 from the Dulles Connector so expecting later delays this evening on 66 into Arlington. Let's move over into Maryland. There was a bad crash on Route 4 south of Waycens. The lanes are open now. We think this clear one is at Lower Pendle Road but a new bad crash happened elsewhere in Anne Arundel County and that is on Muddy Creek Road near River Clubhouse Road. The road is blocked and Medevac has been summoned. 214, no impacts there. Route 2 got slow southbound south of Lothian because of the situation on Route 4 but that you're going to start to see some recovery there now that Route 4 is in fact open. Live in elegance at the new Woodyard Station Senior Apartments in Clinton, Maryland. Move in this December and pay no rent until February 2024. Call 301 -919 810. Dave Doldine, WTLP traffic.

"You want limited time only during breakfast hours US price and participation may vary not valid in a single item at regular price. Dave Dildine WTOP traffic. Now to the 7 News First Alert Weather Center we'll check in with meteorologist Mark Pena. Mark I guess we're gonna get a little bit of rainy mix tonight? That's probably the best way to put it just a little bit everything is on the table but the storm system that we've been tracking that's gonna be bringing this it's basically losing its punch so the overall coverage that we're looking at tonight is gonna be basically isolated to few and far between. We are tracking some showers right now moving east of I -81 moving towards the I -95 corridor and the DC Metro but even that is falling as rain right now and temperatures are around 40 degrees so I'm not expecting that to turn any into kind of frozen precip anytime soon overnight temperatures fall to the mid -30s and as the storm system continues to approach our area again any precipitation that does move into our area has the potential to fall as snow but again the ground is just way too mild and warm at this time so it's not expected to accumulate at all but that said it might make for some wet roads on your Wednesday morning commute so just give yourself some extra time for that because we all know it just takes a out little bit of there rain to make some treacherous roads the storm system exits our region by tomorrow afternoon highs are in the mid 40s and then we have a nice little warming trend heading into the second half of the week with highs in the mid 50s by Thursday and Friday and then we're in the 60s by Saturday with lots of sunshine and if you're on the fence about doing anything this weekend do it Saturday on because that's looking like the better of the two days because right now Sunday is looking like a little bit of a washout with some of our computer models suggesting about a half inch to over an inch of rain possible on Sunday so just keep that in the back of your head for now.

Call 866 -90 -NATION or visit with meteorologist Mark Pena. Mark, what you got for us tonight? You know, we're starting to see a few showers moving into the eastern portions of, or I should say the western portions of the viewing area right now. They're very light to barely moderate in nature, and they are in liquid form. So right now temperatures across the area are well above freezing, most mid areas reporting to upper 40s at this time. So as we go into the overnight hours, showers possible, again, but temperatures staying right in the upper 30s to low 40s. So while we were expecting maybe the chance for some snow flurries, it's still possible, but they're basically going to melt on contact, and the timeframe for this will be basically between midnight and about 4 a .m. So not the best viewing time, and then as we head towards tomorrow morning, temperature starting off into the mid to upper 30s. Some areas might be below freezing, but again, the storm system that's coming our way, it's just basically losing its punch at this point. just So not expecting much in terms of widespread coverage of any shower activity. By tomorrow afternoon, we're seeing improving conditions, temperatures warm into the mid to upper 40s, and that warming trend continues for the second half of the week. We're in the mid 40s Thursday, we're in the mid 50s Friday, and heading into Saturday looking pretty fantastic. Highs near 60 with lots of sunshine, and this comes next ahead of our storm system, which right now confidence is building in what could be a washout of a day on Sunday. Temperatures in the mid 60s, so expecting nothing but rain, and we'll be keeping an eye on this in the days to come. But right now, if you have any outdoor plans, try to get them in on Saturday, as right now Sunday is not looking like a good day to be outside. Right now, temperatures not too bad.

The WTOP producer's desk is wired by where electrical contractors come to grow. Good afternoon, I'm Ork Lewis. Jacob Kerr is our producer. The top story we're following at the Pentagon today. Specialist Craig S. Emmonson, United States Army. Petty Officer Third Class Melissa Rose United States Navy. The reading of the names of the 184 people who died on this day 22 years ago when terrorists crashed Flight 77 into the Pentagon. Today in Arlington, Ground Zero in New York City, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania there are somber honoring ceremonies all of those killed in the nation's worst terror attack. In the aftermath of that tragedy, Americans are being asked to never forget and there are future plans to make sure that vow can be Here at Arlington National Cemetery is where the 9 -11 Pentagon Memorial Visitor Education Center will be built. It's within the portion of the cemetery that's being expanded to add 60 thousand burial sites. Here along Columbia Pike it's a work zone to accommodate the cemetery's expansion. The education center will be within sight of where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed as well as the memorial that's nestled beside the Pentagon. The vision of the education center is to focus on how America responded and moved forward. Outside to National Cemetery, Neil Orkinson, WTRP News. President Biden will mark the 9 -11 observance later today. He'll be in Anchorage, Alaska. President Biden is the first sitting U .S. president to not honor at a memorial site on the 9 -11 attacks on the day. So people may be asking, why Alaska? Why today? And it's really a logistical question. is He coming back from his summit in Asia. And here in Alaska, this is the first time that he be will on U .S. soil. And this also is where Air Force One usually refuels. CBS reporter Bo Erickson to Capitol Hill now, where the Senate plans to take a key legislative step this week as lawmakers try to avoid a government shutdown later this month. More from WTOP's Mitchell Miller today on the Hill Senate leaders hope to approve a minibus of three major appropriations bills to fund various agencies, including transportation and Veterans Affairs. The Senate hopes to get ahead of the House, where conservatives are threatening to against vote a short -term spending measure to keep the government running. Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine says GOP threats of a shutdown make no sense. Once you are basically obligated to pay federal employees, why you would lock them out of their office and tell them that they couldn't serve their American constituents? But some House Republicans say it's take time to a firm stand and fight more federal spending. The shutdown deadline is less than 20 days away. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTOP News. One of three active -duty Marines stormed who the Capitol together on January 6, 2021, has been sentenced to probation instead of prison time. Dodge Hallonen has also been ordered to perform 279 hours of community service. The judge in the case telling Hallonen she can't why fathom he violated his oath to protect the Constitution and risked his career by taking part in the riot. His fellow Marines who joined him that day will be sentenced later this week. North Korea's leader is apparently traveling to Russia for a meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Diego Rivera: Master Soul Communicator and Disrupter of Patriarchy

DIVORCING PATRIARCHY

Diego Rivera: Master Soul Communicator and Disrupter of Patriarchy

"The superstructure of patriarchy is a structure of power that organizes and operates to protect and privilege its primary beneficiary, males. Remember that the patriarchy problem is a problem of inequality. The critical project of the patriarchy is to be and to maintain absolute power. That absolute power can and should be disrupted. Disruptions to the project of patriarchy weaken its stability. This is a universal truth understood by master communicators of the soul. Our teaching for today will receive and consider the message that master communicator of the soul, Diego Rivera, carried to us. When the patriarchy came for Diego Rivera, he wasn't having it. The painter, Señor Diego Rivera, his full name was Diego Maria Concepcion Juan Nepomuceno Estanislo de la Rivera y Barrientos de Acosta y Rodriguez. He was the proud son of a minor. Writer, Cardona Pena said that, Diego Rivera contains in his blood, a cocktail of maps whose olive is in Mexico. It should be imbibed slowly to avoid sudden intoxication. His paternal grandparents were an Italian Jew, born in Russia, and a Portuguese Jewess who immigrated to Holland. His maternal grandparents were from Veracruz and San Miguel de Allende. Guanajuato, Mexico. There was a gentleman, he was born in El Salvador and raised in Costa Rica. A columnist, a science fiction writer, poet, narrator, and essayist by the name of Alfredo Cardona Pena. And every Sunday for 52 weeks in Mexico, he interviewed Diego Rivera, then age 63. The interviews were later translated into English by his younger brother, Alvaro Cardona Hein, 66 years later. Cardona Pena said, we can identify the painter with each of the deities that formed the Aztec pantheon with the Tlaloc, God of water, with Quezacotil, beneficent God of light, and with profound cotelique, goddess of earth and death, portrayed with eagle claws and a skirt of snakes. Rivera himself referred to the pre -Hispanic idols as his nourishment. Speaking about the aesthetics of Rivera's painting, philosopher Samuel Ramos said, it begins with the assumption that art must be the expression of an ideological content determined by the social conditions of the moment in which the artist lives. Rivera's painting involves a political thesis. His entire mural achievement is the visual objectification of a socialist idea based on Mexican history. Diego Rivera said that a painter is just as any artist the product of the society in which he lives individually, a being processing a neuro glandular system. And an ocular apparatus that aids him in his work, agents that are nothing but receptive conductors, transmitting apparatuses for the aspirations, desires and struggles of the masses that intervene in the medium produced. He said that art is meant to produce in a human being an aesthetic emotion, a unique phenomenon due to the proper and complete provocation that passing through the neurosympathetic system moves its adjacent glands so that these may yield their secretions to the organism. This is as necessary to life as those products that feed the digestive system. In consequence, if art is not made, there is a danger of death. Speaking about popular art, Rivera said that among the middle wealthy and aristocratic, there were those who inherited the mentality of those who divided the population of Mexico and Indians and people of reason. They consider popular art shameful. But before the Mexican Revolution, farmers, workers and artisans lived in a world separated from the middle classes by an abyss which became deeper in the period between 1862 and 1902 due to the influence of Europe in both the conservative and the liberal side. Cardona Pena writes that Rivera could look deeper into popular art and find strange forms of communication, roots, lost links, bits of shipwrecks and ships without a compass. That he could put the people to his ear as if they were a shell and then listen to the waves of the past voices, many of which only he could decipher. He he'd said stick his hand down the nearest feminine neck and pull out a gold necklace. He'd put the piece on the floor and with his naked ancient treasures, find an object that belonged to the night, place it next to the jewel and begin to smile slowly, because according to him, he had found between them a connection between yesterday and today. A hanging bridge over which, like the great belly gentleman he was, he could wander and sway up and down as he wished. Cardona Pena said that Diego Rivera showed us his investigative powers, bringing up things that philosophers would have to figure out on their own. Rivera, referencing the patriarchy, said that those in power rely on the collaboration of warriors, magicians or men of science, but that they also needed the help of producers of aesthetic emotion, artists. He saw painting as an essential function of human life, that wherever human beings lived, painting has existed and exists because it is a language as with words. And so he invented a particular style of Mexican painting. It could be converted into an effective weapon against lying to the people, teaching the people to discover through its contents the lies power uses to exploit it. That's what he called realism.

Donald Trump set to be arraigned in historic court moment

"Donald Trump will soon surrender to face criminal charges in an appearance that will be both relatively routine and unprecedented. Really, there's a lot of mystery here because we're doing something that's never been done before. The first ever arraignment of a president. Once Trump arrives at the courthouse, he'll be processed the way anyone else would be to a degree. For starters, Trump lawyer Joe taka Pena tells ABC's Good Morning America, the ex-president will have his Secret Service detail and will not be in handcuffs. After that, Trump will appear before a judge. Amid all the uncertainty, tach a penis says he's sure of one thing. There'll be no guilty plea in this case. Even if that would mean resolving the case. Taka Pena does some think it will even make it to a jury. I'm Sagar Meghani.

Joe Tacopina: What to Expect From Trump's Arraignment

"Here was taka Pena, the Trump attorney, telling Sean Friday night what they believe will happen at tomorrow's arraignment here in Lower Manhattan. On Tuesday, the president will be arraigned. We expect a mugshot. We expect the president will be have his fingerprints. We expect what? Is he going to be perp walked? Is he going to be in handcuffs? Are they going to try and say he can't have bail? I don't think anything dramatic like that's going to happen because even if they try to. That would further solidify the notion that he is being so selectively targeted and treated differently than anyone in the world. I mean, you could go smack a police officer in Times Square right now. Knock them out. You'll be out on bail. You can pay. No problem. Are they going to ask bail on a misdemeanor based? They don't have the last name. Of course. They don't have the last name Trump. But here's the thing. We don't really know what's going to happen Tuesday. Because logistically, this has never happened before. We had the Secret Service involved in an arraignment. What have you seen that before? Never. And you have not worked out all these details yet as of this point. We are not worked out yet. We have some ideas, but no, nothing's worked out yet. All right. Now, think about this. He's been guaranteed Secret Service protection for life. What if he gets convicted on one of these charges? And incidentally, it's going to keep coming.

Donald Trump indicted; expected to surrender early next week

"Now that Donald Trump has been indicted in New York prosecutors say they are working to coordinate his surrender, which could happen early next week. The Manhattan DA showed up for work without commenting, but Trump's lawyer Joe taka Pena said, they'll go in next week and plead not guilty. The president will not be put in handcuffs. As far as the most shots concerned, perp walk. As I said, I'm sure they'll try to make sure they get some joy out of this by parading him. Taka Pena says Trump was shocked by Thursday's indictment, even though he predicted his own arrest, the indictment remains under seal but charges stemmed from hush money payments made on Trump's behalf during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter.

Why Circadian Rhythm Is Key to Health

"Today we're having a special episode of the doctors pharmacy with dr toddler. Pena's our house call episode. We dive deep into issues in the function medicine. Space and help you understand your body. A new way understand to access health using the framework of functional medicine. Welcome tun thank you. Mark is great great topic so years ago. Our mentor. sid baker who is one of the genius mines medicine. I believe on the twentieth twenty-first century basin he wrote this book called the circadian prescription. And who was the first one who really talked about the role of rhythm in health. So can you tell us why rhythm and circadian rhythms and chronology is actually so important in. What is it all about anyway all right. Well you know you're absolutely right. I i read the book That's that said. Baker wrote says chicane prescription. That's sort of where the sir lightbulb went off my head said you know this is really important stuff. And it's sort of the fourth dimension of health which is time and understanding that you know we have rhythms in nature. We have the rising of the sun in the setting of the sun and then the lunar cycles and we have the the months in the seasons in the year so it only makes sense that our body has its own cycles and own seasons and understanding that We have these internal clocks and we have jeans. They're called clock genes and they have to synchronize Just like an orchestra got a lot of different pieces You're talking earlier in a podcast. About how many different chemical reactions are going on the body. You have chemicals being made you have chemicals being broken down. You have chemicals being detoxified in you have all these rhythms going on in the body in their happening In in harmony if you will and just like when you have a an orchestra in order for an orchestra to make really good music what do you need. You need a conductor and this is understanding that the bodies conductor Is synchronizing the whole body in terms of the liver and the heart and the muscles and they gestion all of those factors so our body's ability to have a good rhythm is key towards health

Legislation to strengthen subpoena power of OPA, OIG passes Seattle City Council

"And some teeth, car radios Hannah Scott says those of the goals of the new powers of the Seattle police is oversight agencies just approved by the City Council. Here's her report. Doubts were raised about the existing subpoena powers of the offices of Inspector general and police Accountability due to competing language in the city's 2017 Police Accountability Ordinance and the SPD contract that followed. Yesterday, the City Council laid out exactly what powers Oh, I G and opa have in misconduct investigations with final approval of a proposal that came from the Mayor and council public Safety chair, Lisa Horrible to this new legislation, ads sections to municipal code and codifies and affirms the city's stance that the Office of Police Accountability in the inspector general can seeks. Pena's of those Who may have witnessed or been involved in potential misconduct incidents. And not only does this give the police oversight branches expanded subpoena power to compel cops and other witnesses, including officers to testify and turn over evidence in misconduct investigations. New rules come with some more enforcement teeth. Legislation creates a process for the Opa and the OMG to directly issue the subpoena and enforce them by seeking a court order should the subject of the subpoena failed to comply. The new legislation specifically requires that individuals and third party record holders Served subpoena are provided a written notice of the right to due process. This specific protection was not codified previously, and this edition is intended to increase civilian participation in Opa investigations. And oh, I G audits and reviews Council president Lorena Gonzalez celebrating the vote. When we initially considered the Police Accountability Ordinance in 2000 and 17, we needed that there needed to be details that Would need to be sorted out in order to effectuate the intent behind the subpoena power. But I think that and I think that the details included in this legislation accomplished that original, intense and really do, um, Implement much of what needs to be implemented in order to add additional transparency and more teeth to to what we had envisioned in that in that part of the ordinance. Now this change is subject to bargaining with the police unions as they head into talks for their new contract. Mayor Durkin says passing this law gives the city better leverage on accountability measures during those upcoming contract talks, but it's hardly a given that the union is going to sign off. In an email after the vote, Seattle police killed President Mike Solan tells me spot in its members look forward to bargaining, any change and working conditions with the city. Adding Seattle police officers are great people dedicated to serving their community, even under quote the nonsensical governance by our city Council who don't have Seattle's best interest in mind.

"So have you been since we lost jotted. 's what's happened and changed in terms of work. There's see the big. Yeah i mean pretty much everything. This year has not stopped changing my plans on. May i was so. Are we supposed to be on tour. This year i was supposed to get new zealand for a month to do the best whispers glastonbury and none of that's happened but instead of written a book i've i've learned to do stand up to my webcam and it's amazing adam. I've done stand up in a drive through. Yeah she has been about constantly pivoting really just kind of learning to to to try and keep up with the ever changing rules on what we can and can't do and just finding any old way to get money coming in to pay the mortgage found the Having to give it like that because it sounds like you had a really sweet years lined up Let's talk about you. Found some really great alternatives e. I'm really proud of myself. I think i think what i know about myself is quite good in a crisis and then i fall apart afterwards so weirdly. I'm really dreading next year. I want the world to go back to normal. Obviously i'm really looking forward to everybody being sort of severe again and being able to get out in the world but i think i'm really good when i needed to to to to cope and then at the point where i've got reflection time i sort of tend to go. Oh we went through something. Really big didn't way and i just have a wobble then so this year i can look back on this year and yet there's things didn't happen but hopefully that just pushed into the future a little bit and i will do them and i'm i'm really impressed with myself for keeping money coming in like teaching up resume just Ning twenty quit here and that doing our lesson people. And i'm really proud of myself in the deal but i'm i'll be interested to see if i stay as sort of steady next year. Well i mean it's interesting. You've already sort of reflected on how things might be next year because i suppose they will be listening. Beats the same you know. I suppose of people have been feeling like we sort of really fighting through this year and almost living on adrenaline. And then i suppose hopefully things will get better and than we also have left that. What do we do now have told about Putting things in place we'll have. You thought all about resolutions for next year. Is that sort of way to in the future. What i i just don't know when it's gonna be 'cause i saw vietnam saying next year. I'm not thinking it'll be january. The first and we will wake up and ready. This is so. I don't know because it's hard to know until you know how far away it'll be and also i think potentially one of the things that will really help is that it will come. Gradually we will ease back into life. Gradually rather than the way. We were sort of forced into lockdown which was overnight everything just went potentially as the vaccine starts to get rolled out. You just find that hopefully by july. I'll wake up and go. Oh i'm back to how i was this time. Two years ago without noticing it. That would be ideal. But if not. I think when we went into lockdown this year as quite quick to find my gpa and go i think i should go back on my antidepressants because this year has pulled the rug out from under may and i just want to be a backup so i think i'm in a good enough place if next year flow. May i can call for help. Which is nice to know. that's really good. I mean that's You did that definitely Sometimes it can be hard contact with mental health stuff. His sometimes things could have so. Get so bob you almost forget to reach out for help Get so depressed. That actually reaching out is quite difficult. Completely is the worst. Isn't it is your brain just going. Donate yourself halfway. But i think think. I now appreciate so much. How good the help can bay. And i'm so scared of going back to the worst place. I've been in with my mental health. I think i hope anyway. Touch wood that. I feel okay about asking for help now because i can't go back to was that it was so i will do anything to just keep away from the edge really pleased that you had to get experience with that. It sounds like you have a good is it. Do you have like a gpo what you have like from the community mental health team that you also non contact with basically you sort of like a program now of how to do things not so much. No i've got. I just sort of contact my gpa. And to be honest he was amazing. He was so good. I i live in middle of cities. I don't see like a regular. Gp every time that knows me and family. It's just you know whoever gets my appointment but he was so good. And i just decided. I know why didn't respond well to change. I have noticed my power neue was the thing that was creeping up in that. First week of lockdown. Like i i'd send somebody a what's that message and if its own red for more than two hours. By the time. I went to bed i was going through. Every interaction have had with every human being on the planet trying to act out. Why this past and hasty being done to them. And then i you know you. It takes a couple of days before you click. Hang on a minute. This might not be rational thinking. So i though right before this turns really really bad. Let's call and just get a little bit of bobbing along help. Just to sort of give us the best chance of being able to carry pena.

Phallacy! Life lessons from the animal penis

"I'm emily willingham. I am a science writer and biologist and i wrote a book about penises. Of course he does. Don't to emily. Willingham is a scientist who specialized in urology sheedy researching sex determination sexual development and a whole lot of other fascinating stuff. She's also an accomplished science journalist specializing in pretty much. Everything interesting rod and six is definitely interesting. Emily's new book is called fallacy lifeless from the animal pinas. You had such fun writing this book. I feel like. I've been in some kind of wildlife or g. or something did. Was that fun splits. No arrests parade for sure. A parade of paint. She means and yes. We are talking about animal. Appendages of every size species and variety. Today it's mostly family friendly more like a visit to the zo really. But there's you contact morning. We say penis allot because correct body names meta mitchell. And this is science fiction welcome it's called fallacy. Lifeless lessons from the animal penis. Says it starts with jeffrey epstein but by chapter two you're on the spot and slugs what's fella see you want who interrogate in this book and that's fallacy with a ph the fallacy them interrogating. Is that the the pain is centered as sort of the throbbing obelisk evolve masculinity and. That's of course not the case. In science there have been efforts to sort of foreground. The human penis over that of other animals especially primates. There of course is an entire cottage industry of sending pictures of your pianist. People hoping that they will be very impressed by them. All kinds of research around it that center and four i mean even freud built his entire his entire analytical basis on this idea of the is and what he could construe from it and i think we need to move away format that's the fallacy that we need to get away. Here's the thing though as a biology lecture over many years you promoted the fella sees about fellas in your classrooms. Tell me about that. Oh called on the carpet. Yes one of the things we used to teach for. Example is that the penises a sperm delivery system. Never mind. that's what i taught anyway and that is not all that it does. Even the human version can do more than that as we know when you expand your vision to include near the broad array in the animal kingdom. You realize these things serb all kinds of purposes besides being firm delivery systems and they don't even deliver sperm in the same direction and some species. Let's unpack that. Because it is an amazing array of stories but there is no doubt that the painting has cultural across cultures across the ages. Phallic symbols have been potent. They've been worshipped. they've been ever present science though has taken the cultural pow invested in the penis a whole lot further much further and for you if illusionary psychology particularly egregious he and you start with what you describe as the bad boys. Embed science of evolutionary psychology bids. The blue dildo study feel seen these studies at least from my read of them. Ask questions that are very focused on the pena's yet pretend to be focused on people with china's and they home in on this whole idea that penans has the power to satisfy china and so the blue dildo study involves his creation of a series of dildos like like three d. printed plastic dildos basically of different sizes and they recruited fairly small number of people who evinced an interest in having sex with people penises and had them. I think hold them and look at them and then later try to get them to recall sizes and things like that and determined the their preferences related to. This is repeat whether they were wanted one night. Stand there long term relationship and other silly stuff but the thing is that if you talk to women have you talk to people who have china's that's not where their focus lies and so studies that really do as that question with all sincerity and ask a lot of people with china's side question. They don't get the answer. Gigantic penis please. That's not what the so they show much more attention to some of the surrounding structures especially the clitoris. So it's this assumption. That i think arises from usually who's asking these questions and how they want a manslaughter centering. The pena's evolutionary psychologists look for explanations for contemporary behaviors and mating preferences. So we'll roll. Have they cast the pain of seen. This is not the whole field. But these particularly not great studies the penises. The supposed to be really interesting to women and even young girls. You're there from their perspective. I guess the males people with these rocking around and people are just like falling over themselves. Because oh my god that thing and they they want to use that as an excuse in a way for kind of behaviors that they're exhibiting now or modern attitudes that they want to reinforce that are that actually just kind of uphold inequalities in the kind of thing and i mean how much sense does that make if you really were all walking around naked and you saw a human penis you just reporting around in. There is a person with a peanuts. All inspiring is it really. I mean will it depends on the behold it depends on the beholder of course but the thing is is that when when evolution shapes genitalia to be showy their showy
