Dr. William Fortschen Returns to Discuss EMP Threats and His Book Becoming a Movie!

Dr. William Forstchen discusses the adaptation of his book "One Second After" into a movie. The film, produced by MPI Films and directed by Scott Rogers, is set to start filming in Bulgaria in September, with a release expected in late spring or early summer next year. The movie will focus on the devastating impact of an EMP attack, a topic Forstchen has long advocated for. He emphasizes the importance of realistic portrayals and the need for infrastructure protection. Forstchen also touches on broader themes of societal preparedness, the impact of technology on jobs, and the geopolitical landscape, particularly the potential threats from China and the importance of re-industrializing America. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:00:20 - "One Second After" the Movie 0:08:55 - Power Outage Experience 0:12:20 - Differences with 9/11 & an EMP 0:14:25 - Awareness of the EMP Issue 0:17:25 - Reports on EMP and Response 0:19:11 - Logistics of EMP & Effect 0:24:00 - Teaching Basic Survival Skills 0:29:35 - Artificial Intelligence, Job Loss & History 0:32:14 - Fall of Roman Empire and United States 0:34:51 - Farm Land, Water, China & Infrastructure 0:42:50 - Chip Production & Sending a Message 0:45:22 - United States Current Day and History 0:50:53 - Immigration Laws and History 0:55:05 - Schools, Security & Prevention 0:59:25 - Future Plans with the Movie & Sequel 1:01:58 - Outro Dr. William Fortschen books on Amazon: Chuck Shute link tree: Support the show Thanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!
