Florida Institute of Technology

And so we had a lot of questions and very few answers to start with.

So we got together with Florida Institute of Technology, Austin Fox's lab.

And we got some funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and started to answer those questions.

So we got answers to those first two.

welcome to another episode of cut the bull i'm wilfred riley uh obviously as always here with uh my my co-host brooks crenshaw shout to christy kelly who's dealing with some as i understand uh moving issues maybe some health stuff charles love as well some things going on in the background both of them will return to the program in the future but today in the present now is a gift um we're talking to rick adante who's one of the more interesting guys we've met recently Rick was a former tenured professor at the Florida Institute of Technology.

He was involved in what's probably the largest one of these sort of DEI revelation scandals, along with James O'Keefe and some other familiar names.

He's now sort of out there in the consulting world.

So my first question is pretty simple.

I mean, myself or Brooks usually opens with almost a softball.

But I mean, obviously, I mentioned Florida Tech, Florida Institute of Technology.

You were a tenured man there.

You did some work there that I've actually read in the past.

And he said, well, you know what? Find a school and – And, you know, we'll figure it out.

So I found Florida Tech, Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida.

They let me fly right away.

They had a curriculum of aviation computer science and aviation management.

So how I got there.

Um, so, so I did, I did my undergraduate degree at Florida Institute of Technology, which is like a little small private school in Melbourne, Florida, where I grew up.

Um, and it really not a school.

It's not like it wasn't a public research university.

So, uh, I did, you know, I set a course to did everything I could from, from early on, even high school, to do, get closer to the action, get closer to NASA, the United States, study university here, something that would, uh, lead me to eventually being able to be part of it.

Uh, so yeah, I came to the States to study space sciences and electrical engineering, and then, uh, I, I did it in a school that was pretty close to the Kennedy Space Center, Florida Institute of Technology, Florida Tech.

And, uh, right after I graduated happened to be the very beginning of, uh, assembling the International Space Station.

So I came into NASA as a flight controller for ISS.

[laughs]

[laughs]Georgia State graduate assistant, then he went to Florida Tech safeties coach, Notre Dame defensive grad assistant, then he was the Chargers safeties coach, and then last year he was the Western Michigan defensive coordinator and safeties coach.

And now he's on the Chargers leading an NFL team.

Wow.

400,000 people are in this cohort of people that were exposed.

And we have at least close to 20,000 schoolchildren who were used as props to show we're getting back to normal.

K through 12 young guinea pigs that were sent to school in... schools where teachers have subsequently died support staff and genders and these young people in the middle of the reproductive years are walking around in many cases without a clue now there's a push to have them uh the mayor is as part of this making an effort to reach out to anybody one of the strange jobs i have as a year a lifetime of being on the union side of things i'm the manager at wbi we were at 120 wall street just blocks away by the way we stayed on the air for several hours because Our transmitter was not on top of the World Trade Center.
