He doesn't want their vote and it's interesting because if you're running in a primary That should not be your attitude. Your attitude should be look maybe I don't represent your interests So I respect if you want to vote for someone else, but just know that as president I'd represent you too But no, this is incredibly hostile. It's dismissive and Look at his body language. Like as I show you this we're no body language experts, right? We we would be on MSNBC if we were but I mean just look at the way that he interacts with them He puts his hands on them. He tries to almost intimidate them. I mean just this is so telling take a look My name is Joe Biden. I'm running for in this case running for president of the States Look me over if you like what you see help out if not vote for the other person Three million people that were deported and separated from their family What are we gonna do about climate change now? I you say you say you're against pipelines But then you want to replace these gas lines. That's not gonna work We can we gotta stop building and replacing pipeline I Don't know about you, but it seems like Joe Biden is trying to tell us something Okay, if you don't want us to vote for you you want us to vote for someone else we'll take you up on that Joe and He needs to get the message that putting his hands on people is not acceptable like I get that You know, that's his way of communicating, but I've known people who talk really close You know, they get close up in your face not necessarily because they want to intimidate you or anything But that's just their personality and you have to tell them Respect my personal space respect my bubble right don't come with an arms length But nobody said that to Joe Biden and it's incredibly creepy It's off-putting and if I confronted Joe Biden at a rally and he like put his hand on me I would be incredibly incredibly offended.   I mean it's just it shows you how petulant He is that he can't even withstand the most minimal amount of scrutiny from polite activists I mean for the record that he has he should be confronted at every single event that he does He should be protested everywhere He goes because he voted for in a rock war that killed what hundreds of thousands of people at a minimum So he should be lucky that he's not being pressed further on his record But when somebody casually brings up, you know, something that is a liability the hunter Biden scandal on his record on Climate change and whatnot He melts down. He can't take it. He can't fathom Anyone challenging him because he is owed the nomination in his mind It's the same entitlement that we saw with Hillary Clinton that was so off-putting Anyone who questions him is Getting in his way. This is his turn, right? He was the vice president.  He is expected to just be anointed the Democratic Party nominee And he doesn't like that Bernie Sanders is giving him a run for his money And he's melting down in a way that is really unbecoming of someone who is trying to demonstrate to us that You know, he has the temperament to become the president. What if it's him versus Donald Trump?  Donald Trump is going to be absolutely Roofless in challenging you. He's gonna bring up Hunter Biden.    God forbid He will get demolished by Donald Trump Donald Trump is going to call out the Hunter Biden Scandal and of course Donald Trump has no room to talk But is that hypocrisy going to prevent Trump from using anything he can against Joe Biden? No, and guess what it's going to land when Trump brings up Hunter Biden And the fact that he got paid, you know tens of thousands of dollars to work for an oil company when he had no experience and Voters are going to side with Donald Trump ultimately the Democratic Party's base will be demoralized because Joe Biden is not inspirational He offers nothing and then when Joe Biden tries to respond aggressively He's going to stumble over his own words.  It's just I Don't even want to imagine it So if you genuinely are voting for Joe Biden because you think he's the most electable really really Reconsider your decision because you are making a huge miscalculation Progressives warned everyone back in 2016 that the best bet to go up against Donald Trump Was not Hillary Clinton. It was Bernie Sanders, but everyone concerned rolled about that socialist label Not really realizing that if you want to energize the base You've got to have someone who can appeal to young people and that socialist label is going to be key in helping Bernie Sanders Not to mention that when he's attacked by Trump because of that socialist label Bernie's response is perfect He says well, yeah, I'm a socialist, but so is Donald Trump It's just that he's a socialist for the rich and I'm a socialist for the poor Like there's nothing that Trump can say to Bernie that will rattle him But basically everything that Trump says to Biden will rattle him it will get under his skin And he will melt down and become unhinged. I mean just last week a reporter was confronted by him when He did his whoa. Oh, I think I mean, why are we even having this conversation? Why hasn't the media spoken to this? Why haven't they showed these clips? You know these compilations to voters and ask them is this who you honestly believe can take on Donald Trump?  If so, you're fooling yourself Now there's a large portion of the electorate who are begrudgingly supporting him because they think that he is The most electable We've got to reach out to those voters. We've got to reach out to them and let them know They are voting for someone who has a liability who risks not just handing the White House to Trump for another four years But the Supreme Court did Donald Trump for decades We can't risk it.


How's it going guys know from kicking the rest TV here with another video and you guys know what it is this The recap over my tournament on West Point Lake March 28th this past Saturday And I'm pretty much going to go through the Bates the rotting rail combos and how we did how we did on we finished seventh out of 49 boats, so it was pretty decent and we ended up qualifying for state we qualify for state championship on Lake Hartwell and that If you get in the top two in that tournament that qualifies you for the Nationals the next year We already qualified for Nationals this year, which is our second year in the row We qualified at Lake Martin. We got 13th out of 217 boats. That was a really good turnout And I can't wait for that guys I'm gonna be doing a lot of the logs and stuff for that tournament so stay tuned for a lot of videos And that's gonna be this summer. That's gonna be in July So let's go ahead and start off with the Bates and rotting rail combos on the first bait And it was the most productive bait this tournament called a lot of fish I caught around nine or ten just on this bait Um, this is the wobblehead by kicking their bass base is the one that I I made and I've been selling Right now I don't have an online store at the moment. I haven't really released the company full force yet So if you if you guys are interested in any of these right after this video I'm actually delivering some to one of my customers You can just pay through PayPal as of right now So I have a half ounce wobblehead right here. This one's in green pumpkin and this is watermelon red It's a rage tail crawl really great bait a lot of action. I really prefer even over a shaky head and J At some points if they're really finicky So the reel I'm using for this one is a Revo MGX by Abu Garcia. This is my top of the line real guys I really love this thing. I have many of them and it just cast great feels great last a long time I've had mine forever haven't had any problems. I haven't really had to clean them much I'm just really great reel in general. This is a legendary stream by San Croix rods. I'm really great rod This is the medium heavy. I didn't want to go heavy on this one. So I'm gonna have a little more tip a little more accuracy on the bait Prefer my jig this is by Chattahoochee jigs and this is just a green pumpkin with blue swirl Really great jig. These are the best jigs on the market guys I use them in every single tournament always have one tile in the boat and I'll always seem to catch fish It's a really good bait Pretty much year-round always have it on the boat and the real is a Revo MG extreme by Abu Garcia really great Real this is the upper hand end of the regular MGX and the rod is a legend extreme by Saint Croix rods And this is on a heavy action rod These are the best my favorite rods are the legend extremes and if you're a little if it's a little out of your Price range. They also have other ones like mojo bass the triumphs The legend tournaments, which we have tons of just like this one right here. This is a legend tournament So this is the third and final bait fish head spin by Swarman Hornet lewis This is the original fish head spin with the reactions innovations little dipper on the back has a lot of action guys This bait is so good. I can't stress it enough I have the past three tournaments This is pretty much what I caught fish on this and the jig and also the wobble head I'm just all three really great baits year-round always have them on the boat I've always seemed to catch fish But I will have a video on this and my wobble hand and also some of the Chattahoochee jigs on my channel soon I'm probably coming up this summer. I'm gonna make a lot of tutorial vids for you guys Going over the baits on how to fish and most productively to catch good fish and the real is a Revo premiere by Abu Garcia This is also a really great real this one's actually really really smooth And it's a little under the MGX and I'm the quality still really nice This one is a legend tournament like I said by synchro rods and this is on a medium-heavy power rod You're gonna want a little bit of back boon for the fish head spin hook in and I'm a little quick tip while I'm already talking to You guys I'm sure once I come out the video I'll tell you guys this but hook set sideways on the fish head spin if you hook set up Just how the hook is it's gonna turn sideways You're gonna want to hook set to the side so it goes directly in the fish's mouth That's a little tip. I said that because most of you guys are common Why do you hook something like that to the side of the hook set it kind of like a crankbait? You don't want to hook set up It's just gonna pull it out of the fish's mouth and so your Percentages on hook setting and sideways and ups way better to the side. I'm not just a little quick tip So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I'm let me know what you think about these these videos I'm gonna be posting around three videos a week I'm gonna try to get a lot of content out to you guys if you guys are liking them And you guys are really motivating me with the comments likes Shares everything and everything on my Instagram below not Facebook blowing up YouTube's blown up everything's just blown up It's really motivating me to make more videos So if you guys are liking these videos give it a like please it really supports me and keeps me motivated Leave a comment what you think and if you have any questions over my wobble head the Chattahoochee jigs fish head spin Leave a comment guys anything I can do to help you I will so thank you guys for watching. I'll see you guys next time


And the United Nations Children's Fund has won that the Horn of Africa is on the brink of the worst drought in decades, decimating livestock, patching landscapes and triggering widespread displacement. UNICEF's regional director for southern and eastern Africa, Mohammed Fal, today visited Higlo Camp for displaced people in the Ethiopia Somali region and said that about 20 million people faced a vision in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. According to fall, insurgencies in Ethiopia and Somalia have also deepened food insecurity. Unfortunately, we are facing the same situation in the entire Horn of Africa. I think for the moment in the region I'm following through. You have Ethiopia, you have Somalia, you have northern part of Kenya and we are talking about around 20 million people whose lives are now threatened by food insecurity, probably high level of malnutrition, severe lack of water, lost of all the livelihood, lost of livestock, population, movement across border, it become one of the most important humanitarian crisis. This drought is the worst drought that we have seen for the last 20 years. It affected the whole community, especially children, especially the under five children. So we are getting here a lot of malnutrition children, more than the children that we have seen six months ago, you know the number of admissions have increased.


The next item of business is a statement by Nicola Sturgeon on programme for government. The First Minister's statement will be followed by a debate, and so there should be no interventions or interruptions during the statement. I call on Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister. This programme for government is published in the context of the most severe cost crisis in our lifetimes. This crisis is pushing millions into poverty. It is threatening the viability of businesses and it will almost certainly push the UK economy into recession. It poses a danger not just to livelihoods but also to lives. It is to be blunt a humanitarian emergency. The Scottish Government is already committed to measures worth almost £3 billion this year that will help with rising costs. Today I will set out further steps to mitigate the impact of a rapidly escalating crisis, but the magnitude of what is being experienced by people and businesses across the UK means that mitigation is nowhere near sufficient. So it is essential today that I also address the wider context. What is needed now is action on a scale similar to the Covid response. Action that will tackle the causes of inflation and pull the UK back from the brink. That means action to reform the energy market, action to freeze energy prices, more cash support for those already struggling to pay bills and increased funding for public services. Regrettably, the powers to act in the manner and on the scale needed do not lie with this Parliament. Frankly, they should. If they did, we could have acted already, but they don't. Those powers are for now reserved to Westminster. A new UK Prime Minister has of course just been appointed. I congratulate Liz Truss and wish her well. Our political differences are significant, but as with the previous three Prime Ministers, I will work hard to establish a good working relationship. I have today written to the new Prime Minister renewing my request for an emergency four nation summit on the cost crisis. I have also reaffirmed the actions the Scottish Government is asking the UK Government to take without delay. First, it must cancel the October rise in the energy price cap and freeze energy prices at the current level. A freeze on bills would deliver immediate relief to households and also help lower inflation, easing the wider cost crisis. Second, the freeze must be applied to businesses and to the public and third sectors. That is essential to stop an avalanche of business bankruptcies and job losses and to prevent essential services being squeezed by the cost of heating schools, hospitals and other public and community buildings. While a freeze in energy bills is absolutely essential, it is not sufficient. The energy price cap has already increased by 54 per cent, so thirdly the UK Government must target additional cash support to those already struggling. Fourth, the UK Government must increase the budgets of devolved Governments or grant us greater powers to borrow so that we can do more to help public services and workers. Finally, if reports that Liz trust is considering an energy price freeze are accurate, that is welcome. The cost must not simply fall on consumers over the longer term. As a contribution to funding such measures, the UK Government should introduce an enhanced windfall profits tax, for example by broadening the energy profits levy and removing the investment allowance. The Scottish Government will continue to do all that we can to help. We will always try to find the money for things that matter. However, under the current devolved settlement, our budget is essentially fixed and it is under severe and increasing pressure. I have a duty to be frank about the limits that this puts on our ability to respond as fully as we want to do. Let me illustrate that point very starkly. To start with, this year's Scottish Government budget was 2.9 per cent lower than the year before. Every penny was allocated when that budget was passed by Parliament back in February. Since then, inflation has gone from 2 per cent last summer to 6 per cent in February to more than 10 per cent now. That means that our budget today is worth a staggering £1.7 billion less than when it was published last December. In addition and by necessity, we are also spending more in some areas than was anticipated. For example, public sector pay deals are so far costing £700 million more than we budgeted for. To be very clear, I do not begrudge a single penny of that. On the contrary, paying higher wages is the biggest contribution we can make to helping families with soaring costs. When we intervened in the local government dispute, we did so to help shift funding from the highest to the lowest paid and secure the best possible pay increases overall. That was the right thing to do. Criticism of workers and trade unions fighting for higher pay is deeply misplaced. That is why, to the Tories, threatening to roll back on protections for workers and restrict the right to strike, and to Labour, who last month voted at COSLA to bloc a bigger pay rise for council workers, I say this. Our job in the midst of a cost crisis is not to press down on pay. Our job is to boost it with every penny we can lay our hands on, and that is the approach this Government will take. That is the approach we will take, Presiding Officer, but there is no unallocated pot of money from which to fund higher pay deals or extra support for those in need. Our powers over tax and borrowing are also woefully inadequate. Unless Westminster increases the total amount of money available, every additional percentage point on a pay deal and every pound we spend on measures to help with rising costs must be funded by reductions elsewhere in our budget. That is the reality, and it does mean hard choices. Our emergency budget review is intended to maximise the help we can provide while still balancing the books. That will mean stopping some things we planned to do to fund what is essential to support people through this crisis. John Swinney will say more about the budget review in a statement tomorrow. However, that work will be impacted by the fiscal plans of the UK Government. For example, if Liz Truss decides to pay for irresponsible and regressive tax cuts by reducing spending on public services, that could mean an immediate cut in Scotland's budget. It is not possible, therefore, to conclude our own budget review until we understand the impact of decisions that will be taken at Westminster in the days and weeks ahead. However, I can confirm that, within two weeks of an expected UK Government budget, we will lay out an emergency Scottish Government budget review to Parliament. That will then inform our annual budget bill for 2023-24. The cost of living crisis means that this programme for government is even more focused than usual, deliberately so. Our ambition and our intentions are unchanged. Our commitment to the full Parliament plans set out in last year's programme and in the Bute House agreement stands. However, increased uncertainty and rising costs are very real. Quite simply, given all I have set out, we cannot do everything that, in more normal times, we would want to do. I know that that is not a message that anyone wants to hear, but that unfortunately is the reality. Understandably, there are also calls on the Scottish Government every day for more support. We will respond as positively as we possibly can. Where we cannot do so, though, it is not a lack of political will that stops us, it is a lack of money. As well as targeting our own resources as effectively as we can, we will continue to apply maximum pressure on the UK Government to provide the additional funding that is so desperately needed. I hope that we will have the full support from parties across this chamber in doing so in the interests of the people of Scotland. I will now turn to the priority actions set out in this programme for government. Those are focused on providing help now, but also on continuing our long-term work to build a wealthier, fairer and greener country. We will take the following steps to strengthen the emergency safety net for those who are right now struggling to pay bills. First, to provide more help for people who may be at risk of self-rationaling or even self-disconnection from their energy supply, I can announce that we will double the fuel insecurity fund from £10 million to £20 million this year. Secondly, we will give local authorities flexibility to use discretionary housing payments to help with energy costs as well as with rent payments. We will also increase funding for discretionary housing payments by £5 million. Thirdly, we will extend eligibility for the tenant grant fund introduced as part of our Covid response so that it can provide help for those struggling to pay rent as a result of wider cost of living increases. This Parliament regrettably does not have the power to freeze energy prices, but there are other costs that we can and will use our devolved powers to bear firmly down on. To that end, I can announce that ScotRail fares will be frozen until at least March 2023. As well as rising energy bills, housing costs and increasing levels of debt are a concern for many. We do not control mortgage or general borrowing rates, but we will continue discussions to encourage banks and other financial services firms to take an approach that maximises security for home owners and for businesses. We will also raise the minimum threshold at which bank arrests can be made and introduce regulations to give greater protection to those repaying debts through the debt arrangements scheme. A new bankruptcy and diligence bill will also seek to improve the lives of those who are struggling with debt. In what is perhaps the most significant announcement I will make today, I can confirm to Parliament that we will take immediate action to protect tenants in the private and in the social rented sectors. I can announce that we will shortly introduce emergency legislation to Parliament. The purpose of the emergency law will be twofold. Firstly, it will aim to give people security about the roof over their heads this winter through a moratorium on evictions. Secondly, the legislation will include measures to deliver a rent freeze. The Scottish Government does not have the power to stop your energy bill soaring, but we can and will take action to ensure that your rent does not rise. Presiding Officer, by definition, these are temporary measures, but they will provide much-needed security for many during what will be a difficult winter. We envisage that both measures will remain in place until at least the end of March next year. Crucially, I can confirm that we will time the emergency legislation to ensure, subject of course to Parliament's agreement, that the practical effect of this statement is that rents are frozen from today. Presiding Officer, two of the most important and fundamental sources of security for any of us are a job and a home. In times of economic and financial crisis, those can be the foundations that help people through. The Scottish Government's powers to respond to this crisis are constrained. That is a matter of the utmost frustration, but our policy of no compulsory redundancies in the public sector, which we continue to support, notwithstanding the budgetary pressures that we face, will give those delivering essential services the peace of mind of knowing their job is safe over this winter. For those who live in rented accommodation, we aim to ensure that their homes will be safe, too. The choices any Government makes ultimately come down to a question of values and priorities, where we can prioritising interventions that will provide security, stability and reassurance by safeguarding jobs and homes. We will put as much money as possible into people's pockets through decent pay rises, and we will continue to make tough choices to target support to those who need it most. This programme also sets out measures to address longer-term challenges and build a wealthier, fairer and greener country. I can therefore announce that a housing bill in the coming year ahead will improve affordability for the longer term, provide new and strengthened rights for tenants and implement key policies on short-term lets and the prevention of homelessness. We will support more households to install energy efficiency measures through continued investment in and extended eligibility for the warmer homes Scotland programme. This will help lower energy costs, reduce energy use and deliver our climate change obligations. We will also launch a £25 million Clyde mission decarbonisation fund to support zero emission heat projects and communal heating systems along the length of the river Clyde. We will also continue our work to tackle child poverty, increase opportunity and improve educational attainment. The most significant anti-child poverty measure anywhere in the United Kingdom is the Scottish child payment. It already delivers £20 per week for every eligible child up to age six. I can confirm today that from 14 November the Scottish child payment will increase again to £25 per week per child. This means that the Scottish child payment will have increased by 150 per cent in less than eight months. The payment will also open on that date to applications for children up to age 16. These extensions to a strand of the social security safety net that is completely unique to Scotland will make more than 400,000 children eligible for support of £1,300 per year. It will lift children out of poverty, enhance their life chances and improve the lives of thousands of families across the country. In addition to best start grants, the early learning and school age payments will now be awarded automatically to families in receipt of the Scottish child payment without any need for a further application. We will also make two-child bridging payments by the end of the year. I know that there have been understandable calls to increase the value of those payments in light of the cost crisis. For the reasons that I set out earlier, we cannot commit to this today, but I can confirm that this will be given priority consideration in the emergency budget review. We will also take further action to reduce the cost of the school day. Having delivered universal free school meals for all pupils in primary 1 to 5, I can announce that we will now start work with local authorities to extend universal provision to all pupils in primary 6 and 7. We will continue to keep the promise to children and families in and at the edges of the care system. This year, the first 50 million of the 500 million whole family wellbeing fund will be invested to improve support for vulnerable families. I can also announce that we will introduce a children's care and justice bill to ensure that young people who come into contact with the justice and care systems are treated more appropriately. I am pleased to confirm that, among other measures, this bill will finally end the practice of placing children under 18-years-old in young offenders' institutions. We will also continue to invest in and improve early education and childcare and school education. Last year, we delivered the expansion of funded early learning and childcare for all three and four-year-olds and eligible two-year-olds. In the year ahead, we will design and test options to extend year-round childcare for school-age children. Our school buildings are in the best condition that they have ever been, and over the coming year, work will start on a further 17 new schools. We will also introduce an education reform bill. This will establish an independent education inspectorate and a new public body responsible for qualifications. To support our commitment to substantially eliminate poverty-related attainment gap by 2026, we will invest £200 million each year in the Scottish attainment challenge. Having already met the initial target for widening access to higher education, we will now appoint a new widening access commissioner to build on this progress. We will continue to support our national health service. The NHS recovery plan to tackle the Covid backlog and build sustainability will be supported by more than £1 billion of targeted investment over this Parliament. We will invest £50 million to help to improve accident and emergency waiting times. We will ensure that waits of more than 18 months for outpatients are eliminated in most specialties by the end of this year and for inpatients by September next year. We will then aim to eliminate waits of more than one year for outpatients by March next year and for inpatients in day cases by September 2024. As part of work to reduce waiting times, the next four national treatment centres will open over this coming year in Fife, 4th valley, Highland and at the Golden Jubilee in Glasgow. We will also invest a further £10 million to improve waiting times for cancer diagnostics and treatments and establish a further two rapid cancer diagnostic services. We will also continue to offer protection from Covid. Over this autumn and winter, Covid booster shots alongside flu vaccines will be offered to those most vulnerable to serious illness. We will provide NHS boards with funding and support to deliver co-ordinated services for those living with long Covid. Presiding Officer, we will also introduce legislation for a patient safety commissioner to help improve safety and amplify the voice of patients. We will publish a new mental health and wellbeing strategy and a refreshed suicide prevention strategy. The year ahead will also see the creation in law of the national care service. The new service will deliver the consistency and quality of care across Scotland that people deserve. It will be the most significant development in health and social care since the establishment of the national health service. We will also drive forward our national mission to reduce drug deaths with a total investment of £250 million by the end of this Parliament. We will continue to work with partners with the clear aim, if and as soon as possible, of establishing a safer drug consumption facility in Glasgow. We will also introduce a new public health bill to restrict promotions of less healthy food and drink, and we will consult on proposals to restrict alcohol promotions. We will take forward a range of actions to improve women's access to healthcare and appoint a women's health champion. We will work with Gillian Mackay and MSPs across this chamber to safeguard the access of women to abortion services without harassment or intimidation. As well as investment in health and care services, we will support the justice system. We will introduce a criminal justice bill. Amongst other measures, this bill will provide for the abolition of the not-proven verdict. If approved by Parliament, this will be a change of truly historic significance in Scotland and one firmly intended to improve access to justice for victims of crime. This bill will also deliver statutory protection for the anonymity of complainers in sexual offence cases. In the coming year, we will also consult on specific draft laws to give effect to the recommendations in Helena Kennedy's report on tackling misogynistic behaviours. We intend to introduce a misogyny and criminal justice bill later in this Parliament. We will also introduce a police complaints and misconduct handling bill to improve the way in which complaints about the police are managed and investigated and a legal services regulation reform bill to improve the accountability and transparency of the legal complaint system. We will introduce a charities regulation bill to update and strengthen the legal framework governing the work of charities. Let me now turn to business and the economy. The pressures on business, as on individuals, are acute. We will continue to support both the lowest business rates poundage and the most generous small business rates relief scheme anywhere in the UK. We will support the business community in demands to the UK Government for, among other measures, an energy price freeze and a reduction of that on energy bills. For the longer term, we will continue to implement the national strategy for economic transformation, with a laser focus on entrepreneurship, productivity and skills and new market opportunities. In the year ahead, we will further fund the Scottish National Investment Bank to deliver its key missions. We will support further improvements to broadband infrastructure. We will establish a national network of six new hubs for tech companies, giving Scotland's tech startups access to some of the best development and support anywhere in the world as part of our wider work to promote entrepreneurship. We will continue to deliver our export growth plan, with new export plans for the life sciences and renewable sectors. It is worth noting that Scottish goods exports, excluding oil and gas, grew by more than 5 per cent in the two years to the end of March, compared to a fall elsewhere in the UK. Scotland's position as the most successful location in the UK outside of London for inward investment projects has also been strengthened. We will also introduce a local visitor levy bill to give local authorities additional fiscal flexibility. That will help councils if they so choose to fund activities related to tourism and related infrastructure. One of the central aims of the national strategy for economic transformation is to maximise the jobs and economic activity that the net zero transition can deliver. The recent Scotland auction, which offered lease options for up to 28 gigawatts of energy, has the potential to deliver 28 billion pounds of supply chain work. Indeed, Scotland has a golden opportunity now to lead an energy transition that secures net zero, enhances energy security and lowers energy costs. We must grasp that opportunity. However, maximising that opportunity will require fundamental reform of the energy market. The scandal of the current situation, the scandal of extreme fuel poverty in energy-rich Scotland, is that renewable electricity is already relatively cheap. Offshore and onshore wind can now provide electricity at a lower cost than nuclear or gas-fire power, and yet the wholesale price of electricity in Britain is driven by gas, the most expensive form of generation. That must change. We will press the UK Government to speed up fundamental reform of the energy market and break the link between the cost of gas and the price of renewable and low-carbon electricity. In the meantime, we will do all we can to speed up our development and use of renewable energy. This autumn, we will seek approval for the fourth national planning framework, which will support the delivery of renewable energy projects. In the year ahead, we will publish an energy strategy and adjust transition plan to guide our path to net zero. We will continue to support solar energy and maintain Scotland's position as one of the most advanced nations in the world for the development of wave and tidal technologies. We will set out plans for a further expansion in onshore wind capacity, as we also support the massive expansion in offshore wind. The scale of our onshore and offshore wind capacity also gives us huge potential in green hydrogen. In the coming months, we will work to develop a new hydrogen industry, with publication of the finalised hydrogen action plan and investment proposition backed by £100 million of capital funding. Finally, we will establish two green ports in Scotland and make the first investments from the £500 million north-east and Murray Just Transition Fund. We will also introduce a circulary economy bill to increase the reuse and recycling of materials. Next August, we will launch the deposit return scheme to encourage the reuse and recycling of containers such as drinks bottles. We will also support public transport. In addition to the freezing of ScotRail fares, we will support bus services, including the continued delivery of free bus travel for all those under 22 and over 60. We will invest in vital improvements to ferry services and consult on the new island's connectivity plan. We will support the shift to electric road vehicles and will do even more in the year ahead to support active travel with investment in new routes for walking, wheeling and cycling. Alongside the climate crisis, we will take action to address the nature crisis. In the year ahead, we will publish a biodiversity strategy and take action to stimulate private investment in nature restoration. We will continue work to identify the location of a new national park and develop a land reform bill to further diversify land ownership and empower communities. We will work with partners to further improve flood protection and resilience and support farmers and crofters to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We will introduce a wildlife management bill for grouse to reduce the negative impact of some grousemure practices on wildlife and the environment. In addition to those that I have mentioned already, this programme also includes bills for the new devolved tax on aggregates and to clarify the law on trust and succession. Last but by no means least, this programme for government provides for a Scottish independence referendum bill. If the outcome of the forthcoming Supreme Court referral confirms that a consultative vote is within the competence of this Parliament, I can confirm that we will legislate for a referendum on 19 October next year. This current crisis highlights starkly the pressing need for independence. We are being reminded every day that where and in whose hands power lies really matters. This crisis is much worse in the UK than in other developed countries because of a Brexit that Scotland voted against but was powerless to stop. Under the current devolution settlement powers over borrowing, taxation and energy regulation, the key powers needed to address this crisis are reserved to Westminster, and yet the exercise of these powers by a UK Government Scotland did not vote for has been woefully inadequate. As a consequence, and despite the obvious and urgent need to provide help to millions, people are suffering. This Parliament by contrast stands ready, willing and eager to act, but we lack the powers and resources we need to do so in all the ways necessary. Independence would give us, like it does other independent countries, the levers we desperately need to respond to a crisis like this. More than that, independence would give us the wherewithal to build a better, wealthier, fairer future. That is the prize that we should now grasp. Despite the uncertainties that we face and the current limitations on our powers, this programme seeks to chart a path towards a better future. We will do everything possible to support people in businesses through the months ahead, and we will do so in a manner consistent with our values and our long-term vision for Scotland. We will improve our energy security and cut carbon emissions. We will support business growth. We will tackle the lasting harm caused by child poverty. We will prioritise help for those who most need it, and just as we did in the face of a virus, we will foster a spirit of solidarity to help each other through the challenges ahead. We will provide as much security and reassurance as we can in these tough times as we continue to lay the foundations for a more equal and more sustainable country, and together we will build a wealthier, fairer Greener Scotland.


My name is David Lattimer. I'm a security consultant at Bishop box. This is our part, managing partner, Fran Brown. We, our talk is obviously on drone defense. We want to take it. We just had a little technical difficulty setting up everything. You know how demo gods, they're not nice. This is my first Defcon presentation. This is his fifth. I think they'll come in a minute here. You really want to mess with the guy with the microphone? Because I'll win. Goons, any shots? Okay. Yeah, that's a song. Okay, cool. Welcome everybody to Game of Drones. My name is Fran Brown. I'm a partner at Bishop box. It's a cyber security consulting firm. Helps companies secure their networks and applications. Sorry for the delay. It's a good thing I have every install I've ever downloaded and could install VLC player real quick and a few things on this system to get it running. We'll go ahead and get started though. It's an interesting setup. I have to kind of manage this extended mode with the monitor all the way down there. Okay, I got a lot I want to cover today. I know we're running a little late already. But basically I'm going to get started with a quick overview of the danger drone. One, because it's cool too, because we're going to give one away to somebody in here. Yeah. Yeah. You can handle it. And then I very quickly want to move beyond that and get into some of the drone defense products and the whole industry of drone defense products and some of the stuff we were able to do in terms of testing out these fun products. And then I'll do a little bit of overview of some of the legal landscape and some things that are happening and wrap up with what the future looks like, which is scary and kind of crazy. Okay. So before I even get into the danger drone, I want to talk a little bit about drones. Why do we do this talk? Why is this important? What are we going for here? There's basically a couple angles at this, but for the most part, when our customers come to us and they say, hey Fran, what do I need to know about drones? Or do I need what I need to be looking into for drone services or drone defenses or products? Or is this something I need to do? I want to have good answers for them. And not only that, but I want to provide a resource with this talk and the research to have answers for people as they ask that. Because if you Google for drone defenses right now, you're going to get eight gajillion hits, which is basically all marketing material. And a lot of it is a complete sham. So it actually put out a real resource that you can look at and actually get some real answers when it comes to drone defenses. How many people here have paid for drone defenses or are going to pay for drone defenses in the next year with their company or their organization? Like three people. What are you guys doing this talk there? I don't know. Yeah. If it's not a problem that we will be soon, I promise. Yeah. Who's worried about for your house or your kids or something like that or a few more? Cool. So yeah, so I basically started seeing a lot of crazy articles and I had to kind of like peek at them after a while. You see, you know, popping over Mashable. You see these eagles that are plucking drones out of the sky and these guys with these huge like bazookas and jammer devices. And I just found myself asking, I saw the eagles and I was like, I bet I could beat those eagles. How hard would it be to beat an eagle with a drone and technology and bring nature to a science fight? Does anyone really test them to see if they work? So that's kind of how it started and I started looking into it a little bit more and the more I kept peeling back the onion, the more I realized that this industry for the most part is, to say it's in its infancy is an understatement. To say most of it is a complete shame in terms of what's out there is probably a little more accurate. But to say it's also very necessary right now would also be true. So it's going to be important to be able to cut through that stuff. Alright. Introduction of the Danger Drone. So welcome to the Danger Drone. You see at the bottom there, there's a URL, the tiny URL. If you go to that, you can submit to enter in to be the person that wins the raffle and we will wrap it up and ship it for you. A few people brought up, you know, I might not want to be, have to carry this back through the airport and stuff like that so we figured this would be an easier way to do it. Was anyone go to my talk a few years ago with the RFID, the TaskDoc RFID circuit boards? I gave those out live. That was a pretty crazy experience. I think like five people got killed in the crowd trying to get one of those circuit boards. Somebody gave birth. It was like people were knocking each other over. It was insanity. So to make it a little more reasonable, you go to that URL and we'll ship it to whoever wins. So quick with the Danger Drone. Basically, the long story of the Danger Drone is we created that to be able to test out these drone defensive products. We're going to be able to do penetration test or product evaluations of people who are selling drone defense products. And there wasn't really anything to do that. I always kind of looked at it as, you know, would you buy a smoke detector if you had no way of knowing that it would ever detect a fire? You need the ability to test these things out. So that was kind of the origin of the Danger Drone. And essentially it is just a pentesting quadcopter. It's a hacker laptop that can fly. It's a Raspberry Pi based quadcopter. So anything you can install on a Raspberry Pi which you can run full Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi and it also flies for doing penetration tests. And it has the ability to extend it to do whatever you want to do in terms of wireless, Bluetooth, ZigBee hacking. We have custom shelving so you can put your different ones. Yeah, created a custom shelve. And most quadcopters have the, you know, for the two shelves, one for the battery and one for the flight controller. We added a third one for your Wi-Fi pineapple or whatever you want to add in there to your quadcopter. And here is a number of things you can plug in. Plenty of open USB ports on it. That's a Raspberry Pi. Do software to find radios, Wi-Fi pineapple, stuff like that. Different payloads you can stick on out there. So we'll see you this first year. All right, we are having problems with the audio earlier. So hopefully we have proper sound here. Okay, my Logitech wireless mouse is awesome. What I need now is another cup of coffee. Can't hear it. Here we go. Are we going to restart this? Hit pause. Hold on. Oh, no, hold on. I'll have to go back. Are you guys ready for this? Especially in some hell, yeah. Just be able to hit pause. Okay, so what we're about to see here is just a quick demonstration of what you would use the Danger Drone 4, basically to simulate any kind of PEM test, especially over there. And in this case, we're going to use it to hack a vulnerable wireless mouse to, you know, do a drive-by outside a window and hijack somebody's computer. We nailed this like in two takes. Oh man, my Logitech wireless mouse is awesome. What I need now is another cup of coffee. I'd like to submission for the Oscar for... TLDR, throw away all your wireless mice and keyboards when you get home. Yeah, so it's a pretty easy demonstration of what's possible. You can basically hook up anything you want to do. That was a crazy radio hooked up to that, but you can hook up a Wi-Fi pound up or anything like that and just do drive-bys and hijack people's networks and systems with the Danger Drone. So go ahead to that URL again. If you want to try to get one for free. This is sort of parts and pieces. Most of this airframe can be 3D printed. We have all that up on our thingiverse. If you Google Drone's penetration testers, that was our project last year. Yep, the bulk of it could be 3D printed, including the custom shelf. It is basically a modified Earl Brain 3, which is, these guys are great. They're from Spain. They basically build a Raspberry Pi-based quadcopter that they could fly, and we just added the ability to hack to it. You could build it yourself. It's even a little bit cheaper now, but under 500 bucks total for all the major components that you would need. About 370 last time I checked. We'll be updating the website with a new image and things like that later today, but already up there is the parts list and links to Amazon stuff that you can do to get it. It's all up on our website right now. If you go to dangerousroom.io or bishopbox.com, you should be able to find it. And lastly, it's just been great. This has been good for testing drone defensive products and evaluating them, but it's also, in general, if you're doing penetration tests, kind of the advent of the Internet of Things is that everything is talking over the air now. And having a drone that can hack is kind of the ideal platform for hacking stuff over the air without consequence. So it's been kind of nice to have this capability now. And with there being more targets than ever in terms of, you know, hacking Zigby, hacking Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or you name it. Cool. Cool. So that's the danger zone. On to things in the news. Yeah. So leading up to this talk, everyone I ever met has sent me every article about drone stuff that they've ever seen and it's been awesome. So thank you everyone for sending me. Did you see this? The article? Did you see this? And it's been crazy. The news has been great for this talk in the last couple of weeks alone because of illustrating what we're going for here. So three that I just wanted to point out in particular to kind of illustrate of where things are at in the industry. Did you guys see this? We call that overkill. Yeah. Can you just picture those guys doing it like, go ahead, do it, man. Go ahead. Use the $3 million predator missile or Patriot missile to take out the $200 quadcopter. I wonder if it was a danger drone. I don't know for sure. They took it out. But yeah, it kind of illustrates that. And what I would kind of an assurance is that this is a problem that isn't new. It's just new to most people trying to deal with air-based threats. People in the military are like, oh, yeah, defending yourself against threats from the area. Like we've been doing that for a while, man. Maybe you've seen Top Gun or anything before that. But it's just a new problem for a lot of people, for corporations, for people in their homes having the ability to find need to defend against it now. But it shows that the military also kind of needs to, they can take out, I think most quadcopters go at about 40 to 50 miles an hour. And I think Patriot missile goes at like Mach 3. So they can handle these problems, but it's not really scalable. And they're going to need to adapt as well as the threat continues to adapt. You see on the right there as well, it's one of the pictures of what they call like a flying IED. People are just strapping grenades to quadcopters to drop them off for suicide missions, stuff like that. So as the threats continue to evolve from an military standpoint, so will the defenses need to as well. This is awesome, by the way. I don't know if you guys have seen this, but a couple weeks ago, some guy escaped from prison with a drone dropped off some wire cutters over the prison yard to him. And they ended up catching him a couple states over. But he was able to break out of prison because the drone dropped off some wire snippers to him. In terms of illustrating the threat, prisons have been one of the people leading the way in terms of needing to adopt drone-based defenses. But thus far, it's been primarily people dropping in weapons or drugs or things like that. I think this is the first actual prison escape based on things that were dropped in with the drone. But it kind of shows the escalating nature of the threat. Big problem for anyone who runs a prison. Yeah, this is a nightmare. All right, so I don't know if you guys heard about this. You all know the wildfire is going on in California. There's some raging in Arizona. This guy got arrested for flying a drone near a fire to videotape and documented. But he was impeding 17 different aircrafts for firefighting aircrafts that were trying to drop flamethrower and got himself arrested. And he's going to be one of the first ones charged under the drone wall. Yeah, look at this guy's face.  Look at that mugshot. This is a 54-year-old guy that I thought it would make for cool YouTube videos. He was circling his quadcopter around helicopters of firefighters and emergency responders, putting their lives in immediate danger. And he was posting it up on YouTube as he was doing it. And it essentially showed the lack of ability to defend against these things. What they had to do was they were like, all of our lives are in danger. We have no way of dealing with this guy with his quadcopter.  He wants the situation, let it burn. Let's go home until he goes home, which obviously isn't going to last going forward. They don't need the ability to defend against things like that. So, since we've clearly demonstrated that they need for this market, obviously, people, there's all different types of industries that are going to need drone defenses. Let's go on to the drone defense market. It's injuring 14 different aircraft. 14. Substantial risk of imminent death and injury to firefighters because he thought it would be a cool YouTube video with his new quadcopter. All right. Cool. So that kind of leading the way into the drone defense market. This is... I got to tell you, I've had the pleasure of doing some pretty exciting research in my time and pretty fun stuff. This has probably been one of the funnest and probably also one of the most ridiculous one point somebody in our company was like, what can we do with this? Let's be realistic here. Like, realistic went out the window a long time ago, man. Like, we're getting falcons that go after eagles going after drones and, you know, air-to-air combat going on. Like, I don't know where realistic fits in. But just to give you kind of a breakdown of what the different products are that people are pushing out there right now is basically air-to-air and ground-to-air for the most part. Most are net-based. You have people who are shooting nets up at drones from the ground or, you know, drones themselves either with big nets or shooting nets at other drones. You have predator birds plucking drones out of the sky as well as lasers, which are pretty fun. They run about, like, $11 million a pop though, so we didn't get access to one of those. Yeah. But so, oh, this is what I was seeing in the news. One article I had to know, I was like, I gotta look into this. This is crazy. A couple of popular examples that you might see. Yeah, a little first-person view of the eagle coming in with a vengeance. In the middle of the top there, I sent that to every single person I know saying, for Christmas this year, I want one of these guys. Yeah, nobody. We found out they cost about $80 grand a pop and everyone was like, we don't love you that much. You're not gonna get one of these for Christmas. You see some dog fighting going on there. It looks like Top Gun. You know, they're getting good missile tone and shooting a net at another drone. We'll see here. We actually got the test out in the desert. Kind of one of these guys in the bottom left, which is a faster, bigger drone. This has a big net dangling from it that it comes and sweeps up your drone in the sky. Pretty simple solution, right? And you got some one of those bazooka jammers there, as well as another one shooting a net and then actually capturing it on the bottom right there. So where this is right now, basically 2017 was the year of the drone, both consumer-wise and business-wise. People are adopting drones. It went from that weird RC toy store in the bottom corner of the mall to you can get them at the Grab Isle and CVS in Walgreens now. That's kind of like the transition of things going mainstream. And with that as well, people are predicting that by 2022 that the drone defense product industry is going to be a billion-dollar industry as well. So everyone is trying to get in on this right now. We did research, and you're not meant to see this, but just give you the overwhelming, all the slides will be available for download as well, but there was 86 different products that we looked at that were drone defensive products in some way, from the Patriot Missile to lasers to the net bazookas to the big flying, swooping nets. And depending on one of the interesting things is if you read a top 10 drone defense products report that you could buy out there or somebody put together a top five, they're all different. You might get a different 10 depending on which report you read, which is weird, right? If you read a top 10 lifehacker's top 10, whatever, software for doing your taxes, most of them will be the same depending on what you're looking at, right? Like this was all over the board. There is no Pepsi or Coke when it comes to drone defensive products right now, and you have a whole crowd of people that want access to that billion dollars coming up. It really just depends on your situation. And what this has led to is making it extremely hard for security professionals to get any straight answers whatsoever. So this is just anybody here from Department 13, as they're now, I should preface this, you're not going to like the slides or maybe not put your hand up, but this is kind of a perfect illustrative example of what has occurred due to all this money coming up. Everyone want to get in on this. This PDF isn't up anymore, but it's on the way back machine, you can access to it. They put themselves, they did a little matrix of some of the different drone defensive products up there, and you can see they put themself in the top right quadrant above, like Lockheed Martin and Boeing and who have million-hour lasers to shoot down like migs. So they're all the way up in the top right. This was on the 4th of July in 2016. They didn't even have a V1.0 product to sell until six months later. They had nothing except marketing material and they had a lot of really slick marketing material. I mean, I'm reading like New York Times articles, I'm reading Reuters articles, you would think all these things are real. Oh yeah, I've read about that and I saw it here and it gives it the appearance of legitimacy. Most people don't even have a product to sell, but based on the amount of money they've already funneled into marketing, you think they've been throwing version eight of their product, version nine is coming out next month and they don't have anything to sell you. And I had money, I wanted to buy some of these products and it was difficult to do it. I always get emails back from their CEO saying we can't sell it to you. I think they're running at it like a house. Here's a perfect example of great marketing material that doesn't really make sense. Same company. This one that wasn't even out yet, it was how do they take down drones? They mesmerize them. And the product is mesmer. And it's magic. What it actually does to take a drone out of the sky? I have no idea. No idea whatsoever. Other than it mesmerizes it. So I strongly suspect that maybe I can only imagine what it's actually doing. Maybe they didn't even decide what it's going to do yet so they just put some ones and zeros. We're going to go into some of these now, but you guys haven't had a chance to check it out yet. We went out to the desert with a lot of these products. Got a lot of sunburn. It was 110 degrees out in Arizona with a lot of really cool drone defensive products and wire did an exclusive and there's some video up on there where you can check out some of the exclusive video of us testing out a lot of these products. Cool. I don't want to spend too much time on the detection mechanisms because the drone defensive products kind of break down into detection and then the more interesting response. There's a lot of people in the detection game, whether it's just radar or acoustic or all kinds of fun stuff coming out just to be able to tell you that hey, there's a drone in your sky outside your building or near you. One of the more popular ones is de-drone and a lot of, you're starting to see a lot of collapsing of people who are implementing response products are starting to partner up with companies like de-drone to you spot that there's a drone there first and then our ego will come in and swoop it out of the sky. It's a joint partnership. A couple of those. Interesting use case with this, the drone shield is we're seeing one of the early adopters of these drone defensive products was when they were filming the new Star Wars movies, the first one of the new batch and people were releasing footage of scenes before the movie came out because they were flying over the sets and getting a video footage of it. So people asked me, how do we prevent these drones from getting any spoiler alerts on what's going on with Han Solo because you haven't seen yet, I won't say. But yeah, so it's a real problem and a real threat. And a few more airports are adopting them. Although I talked to somebody at the Denver airport and nobody seemed to know what I was talking about with this. Denver airports implementing airfence to be able to track, you know, they're piloting this. Nobody there seemed to know what the heck I was talking about. So I don't know if it's real or not. Predator birds. Okay, so now we're getting into the fun stuff. So that was just detection mechanisms. So drone defensive products for a response. You've detected a rogue drone in your vicinity, what are you going to do now? So if you've read any articles about, you know, Dutch police have implemented eagles to defend against drones or the French military has done this. It's all one company. It's all one company that does all this. Every article you've read, it's all one company. Guards from above. How much do you think one eagle costs? Guesses? Right there. How much do you think one eagle costs? Fifteen K. Fifteen K. Hundred K. Hundred K. Two million. Three million. What is the prices right? Two low. One dollar. Okay. Anymore? Seventy five thousand? Ten million. What kind of eagles do you think they got, man?  Yeah. So I was able to get access to, and just getting access to the prices on this stuff, this is all kept close to the vest. We'll be putting out the kind of research, but I was digging to get prices on these kind of products. And one of the things I took away from this research is there's no idea what to charge for drone defensive products. They're just throwing it out there. That's going to be $40,000? You know, like, I'll see how you flinch or not. It is, well, same competing products, one might be five grand and one might be 95 grand to do the same exact thing. But in this particular case, the initial cost for one eagle was $156,000. For one eagle, they live 80 years, but they're only mission capable for 40 years. When you do it with the other 40 years, they'll be your best friend. And it's another seven grand a year on top of that for maintenance and food and stuff like that. Yeah. So quite an investment. So I don't know who they're selling to. If they're selling to the crowd that are wasting $3 million of missile on a quadcopter, maybe they're like, this is a bargain. We should go for this. I don't know. Yeah. We did, you want to tell them about going out with the falcon? Yeah. So we actually tried this to try to do this in Arizona. We tried to get, there's only one group that does like falconry, Arizona falconers. There's only 14 in the entire... You want to know anything about falconry or eagles or the market. Two people over here could tell you anything and everything you ever wanted to know about falcons and falconry. Because of the animal protection laws in Britain and the UK, places in Europe they don't really care if you want to own a falcon. This will never fly in the United States. If you're rehabilitating it, it's pun for the whole family. You can't use it for any commercial purpose. So unfortunately, it was a no-go for the test video, but we tried. We did get to see one falcon and they were going to try to help us out and it just stood there. It's like, I don't feel like it today. Yeah. So in terms of security, I think WC feels like I never want to work with animals or kids because you never know what they're going to do. I'm kind of tired today. I'm not going to block stuff. Not exactly a reliable, repeatable solution. Now, with all this, this is hypothetical. It's hypothetical. All I'm saying is I think I could beat an eagle or a falcon. There are countermeasures. Now, if we had gotten access to one, I was going to do, so you'll see the kind of counter to these. What are the weaknesses in these different approaches and at least as I see them and how we try to exploit them. So I would have went for the carrot instead of the stick. I would have went for bacon wrapped, mice countermeasures. I'm almost positive that it would have went for the food instead of my drone if I dropped it off. I don't know. Automatic identification and response would not be that difficult given what's out there right now. Hypothetical. Okay, drone shooting. Again, next Christmas, if anybody wants to get me one, these things look awesome. I don't know if they work as well as they do, but these things run about 70 to 80 grand. They're one of the more popular cannon launched nets with heat seeking and it even deploys a parachute so it doesn't actually break the drone. So you're going to see different models, right? You're going to see the slow motion, flashlight kind of form factor to shoot down drones which may be a little more realistic for one thing I want to point out, there is no best drone solution, right? In doing this, you're going to have to look at your scenario. In terms of a drone defensive solution who's trying to guard a prison yard versus people who are trying to protect a movie studio or a set versus someone that's trying to protect a celebrity from paparazzi drones. They're going to have different needs and different use cases that will necessitate different solutions. You might not have access to different kinds of the prison warden might have access to more options than a normal person. This flashlight is pretty handy for if you look at the different kind of breakdowns you have a prison yard is something that is a fixed location you want to defend that's permanent, right? The Star Wars film set is a fixed location that isn't permanent. It's not going to be there forever. If you are guarding Kendra and if you've ever seen that, I'm going to bust it out. Kendra, the TV show, you guys know what I'm talking about. And when you have drones in your yard if you're defending a celebrity that's mobile and isn't a fixed location having a little flashlight that you can shoot out is an ideal solution. Yeah. So, how can I beat these things, right? So I started looking at it. You got these $80,000 net cannons. You have $100,000 fighter drones that shoot nets at you. Most of these defense solutions are net based and most of them are really light nets because they've got to carry themselves and it's got to shoot them. So they rely not on the weight of the net getting caught up in your motors. Most of these defenses, these tens of thousands of dollars defenses to be able to take down your drone. So I thought, can I beat some of these, the flashlight ones are like six, 700 bucks. Some of the other ones are like, you know, 20, 30 grand. Can I beat it with about $15 worth of chicken wire? And the answer is yes, we're good. So, counter measures, yeah. Can we get around 10 minutes left? We'll do some videos here. So, this one I think we're testing out the net gun counterfeiter countermeasure. This is Fran Brown from Vicious Box and we're testing a net gun of the flashlight variety versus a drone that we've hardened with sycamore. So, I think it's time to appreciate how good of a shot this is. Boom. That's the flashlight based model. That's about 20 feet. So far, since they go 45 feet, didn't do a thing. See, most net based projectile drone defense weapons need to be light to get further. So, the weight itself won't weigh down the drone. They rely on getting caught up in the motors to make the drone crash. Just some simple like $20 chicken wire bubble around this was enough to prevent the net from falling into the motors and allow us to still be able to fly just fine. So, $10 chicken wire and zip ties, effective drone defense. That I wrapped around it and stopped it. We defeated your $80,000 net gun. I know we're running short on time so just in case I don't get to it, I was talking to one of the other air-to-air based net people who sell products and I was explaining how I was going to use the chicken wire. What kind of test are you running? We have the prototype, maybe we can send it to you and get it going. I explained what I was going to do and they're like, oh, maybe I don't think we can. There we go. That's one. So there's plenty of net guns out there and people are releasing do-it-yourself ones but those flashlight ones go about for 500, 600, 700 bucks in some cases. Now, I will say we have one demo for this guy. Have any of you guys seen these shotgun shells with nets in them? These worked way better than I thought they were going to work and the cheapest at anything we tested. They were the only net-based thing that we tested that actually beat my chicken wire cage because it's basically still shooting even as a net, it's basically shooting metal out of a shotgun at stuff. Punch the hole right through the net. First, we're going to go ahead and try the Skynet shotgun shells which are 12-gauge shotgun shells that have deployed a net specifically to try to take down drones. The Skynet shotgun shells are one of the simpler drone defense options available. Just $20 for three and they can be fired with an additional shotgun. The difference, of course, is the netting which wraps around the drone's propellers to take it down. The Skynets were extremely effective with the cheapest out of all the solutions by far. From 70 feet out, it took them three to five shots per drone. That's a metal piece that went into that. So what do you say this? So we can see here, it looks like if we had more zip ties it would have been in the net it blew a hole in the metal piece that went straight through it. So we just put some cartoon shotgun holes in the chicken wire there. When you think like net ammo, you think somewhat safer, partially safe, I think you would actually die if you got shot with this stuff. Five minutes. Five minutes? We'll just cut to some more videos. We're going to go to the really fun now. One thing I want to say about this. Lastly, the piece of resistance, the big guy, we have the sparrow hook attached to it. So one thing I want to say about this is I'll fly through some of these guys, you look through our slides, out of the air to air based drone defense products. I called all of them. All of them are either they're about to release their V2 any day now and they check the shell. Bob, check the shelves, there's no more V1 left. You don't actually sell any product. You know, you got years going back with some of these products. They're winning awards and eventually you find out like we're hoping to ship our first round of products by the end of this year. It looks like they've had products out for years. I only found one company out of the air to air based ones that would actually sell me and it was a prototype still, but actually we're willing to sell me a prototype for some air to air based combat and it's one of the ones of the nature of it drops a huge net and tries to scoop in on it. The big guy, we have the Sparrow Hawk attached to a huge DJI M600 drone and essentially it's going to be some air to air combat. It's going to try to go catch up to the danger drone with a really big net and swoop it up to try to capture the drone. I love how it's so creepy here. The Sparrow Hawk system is by far the most expensive option Brown tested. The drone and the net system together come close to around $11,000. Yeah, about 11 grand. This is the actual drone itself, which is the filmographer is using the same as that drone. It's a DJI M600. But a couple interesting things here. They did sell us one. They noticed us unfurl it by hand. They were supposed to be able to do it. I was like, do you have an instruction manual for this? And the guy was like, can you give us an extra day? I was like, what? Can you send it to me? They're writing it as you go, right? This guy sends me five pages of just pure text, not a single picture, not a single image. Like a million parts. And just prose, just text, and being as articulate as I can describing how to build a bicycle. And I was like, can you take a photo of your phone or something, man? He's like, it's pretty straightforward. I was like, no, it's pretty much the exact opposite of straightforward. Yeah, it's not straightforward even in the least bit. But we were able to get it going anyway. So that isn't what you saw right there as an interceptor type, obviously air-to-air interceptor type. Yeah. It caused too much in terms of that. I was really debating having with those ones that have to swoop in, they have to get really close to you and they have to come in from a predictable direction, right? If it's chasing me, it's going to come from behind me. And I wanted to use a confetti gun do like Maverick style, like I'm bringing them in closer, let it get in closer and use a confetti gun out the rear to basically fart confetti on it and make it crash the big drone, which I'm pretty confident would have worked, but it's pretty expensive gamble at this amount of time. With the chicken wire stop it? In that case, I think it would probably grab on the chicken wire. The chicken wire is more about the ones that shoot the net at it, hoping that the net will take it down. I think it would actually probably grip up the chicken wire. I think part of the other problem is if they have a faster drone than your interceptor drone, there's nothing you can do, right? So let's get through these real quick. So drone shooting. This drone catcher is one of the ones you'll see the most. It's got like dog fighting stuff going on. They've got stuff going back years. They say it's going to be about 30,000 euro for one of them. And even with all this stuff going back years and years, they're really hoping to ship their first batch of products by the end of this year. Can't buy right now. Airspace, they wouldn't even get back to me. They got back to one of our people saying it cost millions of dollars to shoot basically shoot a net at it in the air. This is from Michigan a little research project. And this one's interesting. Excipio. This was Excipio. Doing the way back machine, it was $3,500 for one of these net shooter Excipios back in December. They've rebranded it. They're going to be called drone hunter. You can't buy the old Excipio anymore. Drone hunter is not for sale yet. But it went from $3,500 to $47,500 in a couple of months with no clear identity as to what's going to be different about it. I think they're like, we're charging. How much? We need to charge more than that. So pricing is all over the board right now. Who are you? And if you're government, they add a couple of zeros. Yeah. I have a bunch of these guys like the Sparrowhawk that we tested. I found a PDF with an old invoice from the end of the year it was 25,000 Euro for one of these other guys. We bought ours for the actual Sparrowhawk it was only 5,000 pounds itself so versus 25,000 euros for a similar product. You can see they're all over the board. Sparrowhawk. Jamming. None of these guys can sell in the United States and they won't be able to. You see all these articles about these jamming devices for the most part. You can't jam GPS. You can't jam cell phone connections which is what the Danger Drone uses for command and control. They're not allowed to sell these in the United States and they won't be. At any time in the foreseeable future. They're basically just doing a reverse turnover cell phone connection for the USB 3G adapter for making it pretty much impossible for most of these jammers to the ones that are legal to buy anyway to work against it. Guys I know we're running short on time we will be able to take questions out there a few lasers. These run or directed energy weapons. The guys at Boeing were like maybe let's just make a dumb down version of the ones we use to shoot real planes out of the sky like fighter jets. They're not as good as that department 13 up in the corner there. They created these auto tracking like basically a drone going crazy fast it was just like auto tracking no problem just see it burst into flames with directed energy weapons. These things I think Boeing's are about 11 million dollars a unit and I think it's like rate down about 6 million dollars a unit but you're looking at a million dollars for one of these guys throwing them back to your truck to knock these out. They're putting them on ships and trucks basically deploying them. I'm always looking to beat these lasers. Basically China was talking all kinds of crap saying we could beat most of the US's lasers with just smoke bombs and it may actually be true. Smoke and dust and obscurance really degrades the ability to use these flashing mirrors on your drone to ward off the laser. One of my favorites is the metamaterials which bends the light and energy around it like predator. You wouldn't look like predator but does something similar in terms of displacing the heat and energy and the last one there's actually a project and a product that somebody does that has auto tracking of the text that a laser is on you, on your drone and immediately responds with another laser back to take it out. So there's a whole people sell these products it's pretty cool. Again we didn't have millions of dollars to test this stuff out but maybe next year legal issues. This guy's a hero, it's a random guy basically anyone who registered their drones last year can get your money back.  So the registration drone law from last year got thrown out a couple months ago. Okay we're going to wrap up.  Anyone poke a lipo battery that's in these guys they're basically like lava bombs that might blow up for no reason whatsoever let alone if you're shooting a shotgun at it and spit flames everywhere so not something you want to do in a residential area trying to shoot these guys out of the sky and yep and the future is awesome drone swarms none of these defenses are going to work against drone swarms none of these nets if I send 5000 drones it's not going to do anything against you know a couple these nets aren't going to do anything super small bug sized drones hybrid approaches we have one of these spiders so a drone could drop off a spider and it could crawl in a building could plug in an ethernet port or you'll see like submarines that are coming up as long as it shoots something in the air off or UPS trucks that are driving your neighborhood and then deploying with a drone the hybrid approach is going to be big in the future and anyway you think air when you hear drone and drone swarms no one's thinking naval supremacy and a million little raspberry pi based submarines just controlling the ocean and it's kind of a big deal still but nobody thinks about it and raspberry pi based somebody released some dog fighting AI stuff for the raspberry pi which is being real so I think the next top guns coming out I think it's going to be all raspberry pies like you know the plaque for the alternates down in the air or something like that but it's pretty freaky it was beating this guy nonstop and that's it all right time thanks guys
