Summary

David Tice is a geopolitical strategist and producer / director of the eye opening documentary ‘Grid Down, Power Up.’ David came on to tell us about the unbelievable vulnerabilities of the U.S. power grid. Electricity–it's cheap, fast, and readily available across most of the world. We rely on electricity to survive, yet most of us take it for granted. While we've gotten comfortable, a disaster has been brewing with every light switch flipped. It's not a matter of "if" but "when" the grid will fail. David reveals that not only has the United States invested very little in its power grid infrastructure since the 1950s, but power companies are actively lobbying to provide as little protection and updates to the grid as possible. We get into how adversaries like China & Russia have openly plotted against the U.S. by way of implicating our grid and even how numerous homegrown attacks against vital electrical infrastructure has flown under the radar or at worst–purposefully ignored.

0:00.0	Here's an interesting statistic for you. If the US faced a catastrophic power grid failure,
0:07.8	as in the whole grid one out, throughout the entire country, 90% of the US population
0:17.2	would be dead. That's from the EMP commission. Now you might be wondering how close are
0:22.5	we to a scenario where all of the power grid goes out? Well, unfortunately, we're a lot
0:29.8	closer than most people think. That's what we're going to cover in this episode is all the
0:35.6	vulnerabilities that we know about that the power grid faces and the good news is at the
0:41.9	end of this, we talk about how to fix it. So unfortunately, there is no legal ramifications
0:50.6	for not protecting our power grid from the companies that supply power. That's because
0:55.6	they are lobbying our politicians, which means they're paying them off so that they don't
1:01.6	create laws that force the power companies to protect the grid. Go figure, politicians
1:07.6	getting paid off, right? But anyways, hey, we got David Tyson, he's on the show today.

1:55.9	I have been very interested in the vulnerabilities of our power grid for a long time. A front
2:03.6	of mine showed me this documentary grid down power up phenomenal documentary. So you are the
2:10.8	director and producer of that doc. And you're doing it just to raise awareness on how just how
2:19.2	vulnerable our grid is. And it's making a lot of waves after dinner last night. It sounds like
2:26.6	it's making a lot of waves. And I just want to add some fuel to the fire.
