Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries, and still have enough charge to visit your in-laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric.

Up next, a story from Hillsdale College, one of their students telling it about Hillsdale's greatest cryptologist. And Hillsdale has been a proud sponsor of this show from when it started way back in 2016.
Let's get into the story. Hello there! My name is Lindsay Larkin. I'm a student from Hillsdale College, and today I am really excited to share the story of a woman who cracked enemy codes during both world wars, exposed Nazi spy rings in South America, and helped dismantle organized crime networks during Prohibition. Her name?
Elizabeth Smith Friedman. Elizabeth Smith Friedman was born in 1892 in a small town in Indiana. She is the youngest of nine children. From an early age, she has a passion for literature and languages. After earning an English degree from Hillsdale College, she longs for a path beyond the conventional expectations placed on women at the time.
And, as fate would have it, an extraordinary opportunity came her way. In 1916, she responds to a newspaper advertisement from George Fabian. An eccentric billionaire with an unusual interest. Uh He hopes to prove that Sir Francis Bacon was the true author of Shakespeare's plays. This leads Elizabeth to Riverbank Laboratories, one of the first institutions in the U.S.
dedicated to cryptography. Yeah. Though the Shakespearean theory was highly questionable at best. The cryptographic work at Riverbank was genuine. There, Elizabeth meets William Friedman, a fellow codebreaker who would become both her professional partner and husband.
Together, they lay the foundation for modern cryptanalysis. When World War I erupts, the U.S. government turns to Riverbank laboratories for assistance in breaking enemy codes. Elizabeth begins to analyze intercepted messages and develops techniques to decrypt complex ciphers used by German spies. In addition to this, she helps train military intelligence officers in cryptanalysis, laying the foundation for the Army's cryptographic efforts.
Elizabeth and William play a critical role in the war's effort. While William later joined the army, Elizabeth's expertise is soon called upon in a different but equally vital battle. one taking place much closer to home. Mm-hmm, okay, and During Prohibition, criminal organizations had begun to rely on secret codes to coordinate their illegal liquor trade. The U.S.
government needed someone capable of breaking these encrypted messages, and Elizabeth was the ideal candidate. Working with the Coast Guard, she meticulously decodes communications that eventually lead to the disruption of major smuggling operations. Not only does Elizabeth work behind the scenes, But she also takes the stand in court, presenting her findings with remarkable clarity and confidence, even while facing notoriously dangerous criminals. Yet, despite these pivotal contributions, she often goes unrecognized. Even during World War II, Elizabeth leads a team for the U.S.
Coast Guard's intelligent unit. Cracking the secret codes of Nazi spy rings operating in South America. Using painstaking linguistic and mathematical analysis, she decrypts thousands of encoded messages. Exposing entire espionage networks that were feeding intelligence to the Axis powers. Her work not only helped dismantle these networks, but also ensured that vital wartime communications remained secure.
Despite Elizabeth's incredible contributions, public recognition often went to others. particularly J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. But history is clear. Elizabeth's work was instrumental in these victories.
After the war, Elizabeth chooses to live a much quieter life. She spends her remaining years with William until his passing in 1969. Elizabeth Smith Friedman passes away in 1980. with much of her work still classified until two thousand and eight. It was only in later years that her immense contributions received the recognition they deserved.
Today, her legacy endures. Not just in cryptology, but in the countless women in STEM who now look to her as a role model. Her techniques continue to influence intelligence agencies. And her story serves as a testament to the power of intellect. and perseverance.
Elizabeth Smith Friedman was. Far more than just a code breaker. She was a pioneer, a patriot, and a woman who profoundly impacted American history. And a terrific job on the production, editing, and storytelling by our own Monty Montgomery, himself for Hillsdale grad. and a special thanks to Lindsay Larkin, a Hillsdale College student.
With his terrific story. On Elizabeth Smith Friedman, and what a pioneer she was, indeed, a pioneer, a patriot. And a woman who profoundly impacted American history. And unlike Rosie the Riveters, and we've told lots of stories about those women who impacted American history. Here was one in the area of STEM, a cryptologist, doing things like busting organized crime networks and then Nazi networks.
