Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240711

The results of the u. S. Election cycle has surprised many. There was no blue wave, and the g. O. P. Witnessed games all across the board. Both parties have deep internal divisions, and the court is in both parties based populist challenges. Is this the perfect recipe for a political deal like greetings and sell you to hold out. Im just now im just slicing some pineapple, you know, swipe into the right, ordering some grub from the left back from the once the shows done. Who we love our apps, you know, they become our new pet rock slash we board it our time. But with every app comes, a lack of privacy apps today can track our movements document what we eat, hold our bank account numbers, they keep track of our social circles, and they even know who we pray to. We allow them to do this by simply clicking the click. I accept your terms. But do we really accept them . Do we really, would we really agree to these terms . If, if we knew that, you know where we go, who we see, and what we do is also being sent to and viewed by not just advertisers hungry to sell us the latest brand new thing we dont need. But also the United States military and their favorite private contractors, that my friends is at the core of a scandal that journalists working over a motherboard of uncovered after months of investigations. Motherboards joseph cox lays out the controversial findings, writing quote, the u. S. Military is buying the granular Movement Data of people around the world, harvested from innocuous seeming apps. These apps unwittingly or willingly are sending the u. S. Military, your location data, among other things, they include a loose limbed prayer and quran app that has more than 98000000 downloads worldwide. A muslim dating app, a popular craigslist app and an app for following storms. And, and a level app that can be used to help, for example, install shelves in a bedroom. Because nothing i want more in this world is for the u. S. Air force general zone jack the ripper. Knowing that i cant hang my bedroom shelves straight. Lets look all kidding aside. This is without a doubt a very serious invasion of privacy by the u. S. Military Industrial Complex. As u. S. Representative, eli and omar tweeted and points out she tweets the military Industrial Complex and the surveillance state have always had a cozy relationship with the tech buying bulk data in order to profile muslims as par for the course for them and is absolutely sickening. It should be illegal. No one should log on to a prayer or dating app with the expectation that the u. S. Military is just behind your screen. Buying up your meditated and violating your privacy. I mean thats what the n. S. A. Is for after all. Now lets start watching the hawks. If you want to know whats going on on a cd, you want to see them. So you click see, see the prices. You always stay on see grace suggests least systemic deception is the late show which would be so when the deal as well going one to watch i robot and im across. All right, my friends, like im a show, this is, this is pretty incredible when we really look at how all this breaks down. But the u. S. Military has been caught. Mother board has found out that they are buying location data. And this story combines that kind of mysterious and dangerous location data in the u. S. Militarys obsession with that, which has become which, you know, look at the end of the day. Theyve used for drone strikes of all to milly killed civilians and things of that nature. Its a very dangerous issue. No, youre absolutely correct. And its one that hed been to a lot of the conversation about what its about data privacy and whats been going on on some of these social media sites, as well as some of the social dating apps. Because they are so popular, you have gone there, not even reading when there are disclaimers. But to my understanding for this type of thing, there hasnt even been a disclaimer that says where this information is going. And people are unwittingly finding out by the thousands sometimes more than that under erroneous pretense, a good doing one thing and now theyre step is being sold to god knows who well in this case we do know who and i can. Yeah. Going on with that. I mean, its crazy because its like, look, we all kind of expect a little bit of like we, we expect that theres no privacy, especially when we click, i accept, you know, as i mentioned earlier. But whats interesting with this is that motherboards investigation, you know, basically uncovered 2 separate parallel streams that the u. S. Military uses to obtain this location data. Another metadata. The 1st use a Company Called babble street, which creates a product called locate x. You socom u. S. Special operations command, which is a branch of military tasked with counterterrorism and things like that around the world. They bought access to locate, locate x. 2, i guess, one of the assume with their counterterrorism activities, but theyre still, you know, they obviously, because everythings classified. You dont really know at the end of the day. The other stream is through a Company Called x. Mode, which obtains location data directly from the apps, and then sells the data to the contractors. And then by extension, the military, you know, as you see the kind of stages and how it ends up in u. S. Military form, right . There starts with the up the location data sent to like Something Like x. Mode, defense contractors by location date off x. Mode. Then handed over to the u. S. Military. Its to me its just like this is a really dangerous precedent because we dont use a nap. And then we dont, we should not to use an apple, no one around the world to use an app and worry about who is viewing their data, especially the military. No, youre absolutely correct in the thing with this is that weve seen somewhat of a model that was similar in china, but it was used by china to spy on chinese people. We have yet to see something with the military using this social dating app. And it is going to be that information is going towards another country. So not this is not happening with this is the 1st like me to report were having on that type of thing. I think that it, it poses some significant concerns. One not only related to privacy, again, thats something that americans have the knock down doors about warning our data to be private. So you knew lising, this is going to be and where it goes is going to be interesting. But also, just if its done here, where else then who else is going to get the idea to do the exact same thing and at what point are people going to just, either not use these apps or these, these types of facilities again, or you know, what does this world look like when thats the problem . And also how can we point the finger at places like china and things like that . As you mentioned, like how can we sit and point the finger at them and say, how dare you compile all your so this and stuff . Well guess what . Were doing it to, you know, millions of people around the world, including and very clearly a lot of this like data mining that the military is doing is being very specifically targeted that cater to muslims. Its incredible how many i mean, one of the that was discovered something data. The x. Mode included a map called muslim crow, which reminds users when to pray and in what direction they never had any idea that their location data is being sent to the u. S. Military. You know, by way of all these, the, from the hurdles is being sent to the u. S. Military. They actually announced they are suspending business with x. Mode after the motherboard article had come out, theyre telling motherboard quote, in respect of the trust of prayers put the trust of millions of probes put some muslim pro every day. We are immediately terminating our relationship with our data partners, including with x. Mode, which started 4 weeks ago that up and down like a 50000000. 00 times in android and over 98000000. 00 in total cross other platforms. So you see the size and scope of data that the, the Government Military could be collected for years. And this makes sense if youre going after terrorists or going after some type of link sale where thats possible. But these are just regular citizens. So this is, this is contrary to be careful where you walk. Glass is everywhere. Women are shattering the Glass Ceiling from the 1st woman and woman of color to serve. As Vice President , Vice President elect kamel harris to the record breaking amount of women voting fund, raising, donating and taking part in americas 2020. Alexion things are changing. The winds of change having only been in politics that Major League Baseball got in the action. They miami, miami, marlins announced on friday that kimmy would be the teams general manager. Shes the 1st woman to hold the position in the male beat. From her home beginnings as an intern for the Chicago White sox in 1990, just kept climbing with 30 years of baseball experience. She now joins an elite previously all male group of g. M. Joining us now to shed more light on this story is our team sports producer regina hamm welcome and thank you. I have good news for wives. Very modest, very good news. Good news. We all saw about nelson last week, and social media was a blaze with everyone being excited over the 1st female g. M. In Major League Baseball history. Well, in sports history, aside from that record breaking achievement, what do you think this means for the in theyll be and other sports that have yet to fully accept women in that type of leadership role. So nobody has already had a rough is a nice word with their coach. It impacted season there to 60 games. They have players who are protocols, theyre going to press for that, you know, relative quiet things, proceed normal. Then you had a world series, you had a player test positive, still played on the field, they pulled him eventually, but he was still there. So this is good press for the league, but its also good press for a lot of young girls and young women who want to be agents who want to be scouts who want to climb the ranks. She served in the n l, the Commissioners Office for the past 9 years. She has reached the echelons of what many women in sports who work on the team side in the league side only dreamed of. And she has done so much, and shes also the 1st Asian American to be in such a high position. So you now have women, minority women who are in this position is wonderful. She has shattered the Glass Ceiling in Major League Baseball and kim starters. And in turn, as youre sort of 30 years ago now and then rose through the ranks are definitely speaks to her determination to one day reach the level of achievement that she now has. What do you think that experience across multiple sports teams and working in the different capacities that she has taught her and prepared her for this new job . And you know, i think the biggest question is why was she chosen . Why did they suddenly say, you know, what now is the time she is one of the most. Shes the overqualified at this point. She has worked away like you said at the white sox, she was an assistant g. M. , at 29 in 1908, and for the new york yankees, shes worked with now. Marlin c. E. O. , derek jeter, when he was assured stop for the yankees. She has 3 world series ring. She has, she is an impressive human being. And derek jeter sees that he is the c. E. O. , of miami marlins. Hes also not a stranger to hiring women. The c. E. O. , Caroline Oconnor of the marlins is also in the highest executive in the league as well. So ms. Ng joins a very accomplished group of women, but she has seen how teams work. She has been a loser, your ship position. She has gained those skills that she needs to reform as a general manager and team to pass her over before for this i dont know why she guesses on anybody. But the fact that derek jeter has seen her rise is seen her growth. He is capitalizing on that to see her take the marlins in a brand new direction, if she has earned it. And what message do you think that this sends to women and girls . This is such a monumental moment and weve heard, you know, the year of the girl i believe was supposed to be last year, but were seeing women continue to shatter Glass Ceilings across the country and across the globe. What do you think this says to all these young girls, particularly minority girls, but young girls and women who are interested in sports and didnt previously see an opening . I think i should not miss ang tell her, tell us what she means 1st. So take a listen, you know, in terms of these little girls, it means the world to me, and anybody who knows me knows that i have spent countless hours advocating for young girls advocating for young women. And really trying to help them advance their careers. That is something that is just so important to me. And so now having this high profile position, you know where youre out in public more and, you know, girls can see is, i mean theres an adage, you know, you cant be if you cant see it. I guess i would suggest to them now, now you can see that shes absolutely right. You can see it. She is the face of general management for the marlins and theres other women, not necessarily in the leadership positions. But in coaching, if you see becky hammon in the n. B. A. For the spurs, she is a name to watch. She is overdue for, a head coach position in the n. B. A. And the n. B. A. Is already a very Progressive League to begin with. So its kind of surprising this that didnt happen before this did, but you know, progress, and we seem to see it, you know, women break the n. F. L. Sidelines as well in recent years to. One thing i want to ask though, is with the marlins looking at this team that shes now the g. M. Of. What kind of situation is she walking into . Is this a team thats like just built for success and shes going to ride that or is she got to make . Is there a lot of hurdles that come with this job or like if you are a perennial viewer of the n. L. East, you will see the marlins are not usually contenders for the title. However, the 60 game season that we had just had proved otherwise. Granted, if it was a fluke, we dont know, but theres a lot of rebuilding there in your 3 buildings. A lot of work to do. Ok, so its going to be a challenge. Its going to ok everybody, but im going to thank you so much for coming out and bringing us this great news about whats happened to Major League Baseball or interest so much. All right, as we go to break one of the, you can also start watching the hawks on the mound to the brand new portable t. V. , which is available on all platforms. Coming up, we enter the world of hard boiled detective, but war as author Georgetown Professor Chris Chambers, georges, to discuss his new book, scavenger and you do not want to miss this. Trust me, stay tuned to watch for it. Brett, look forward to talking to people. I robot must obey the orders given by human beings except when conflict with the 1st law show. Your identification for should be very careful. The point is played with Artificial Intelligence will summon, the demon must protect its own existence. During the vietnam war, us forces there was a secret war. And for years the American People did not know. We mounted loud mouth heavily bombed country per capita. Millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this Small Agricultural country. Even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. Is the us making amends for the tragedy and help to the people need in that little land on greater trenchards to say, simpson, exacerbating and alarming everyone mindlessly. Actually what that means was we end up Picking Solutions that cost a lot, but actually do very little Actual Solutions that would fix Global Warming from the maltese falcon to double indemnity from raymond chandler, Dashiell Hammett, humphrey bogart, and easy rawlins, the history of noir. Both in film and literature here in the United States of america is both rich and deep. The reason behind this lies mainly in the fact that not only does the storytelling give its readers and viewers a gripping vibrant mystere mystery, an adventure story. But it also allows its authors and creators, much like their antihero protagonist, the chance to pull back the curtain on all the glitz and glamour here in the land of the free and reveal the dark twisted underbelly lying just just below the surface. Often giving us a far more elegant, brutal, and honest look into the twisted soul of the american landscape and experience than any historian could dream of. Capturing this year, author georgetown, professor and friend of the show Chris Chambers released into the world of noir fiction. His new book scavenger, which takes takes place on the stone and marble streets of washington, d. C. , and features a biting takedown of the Nations Capital. Through the eyes of its homeless survivor and sleuth Dickie Cornish Professor Chamber joins us now to discuss his new book. Thank you. Chris, always a pleasure. Ray, thank you. So because i got to start right out the gate, what was the inspiration for this new book that you, you know, what got you to sit down and say, you know what, i need to write this story about washington d. C. And this, and this homeless man living in it and the adventure that he embarks on it were made. I did my spiritual creative writing about it about well, about the curtain on real deeds, the girl on the internet. Hes in show runner movie producer on the wire. And i want to do something is when i also just, you know, walking the streets to me, throw us a neighborhood like before the show on every corner. And when you talk to them, they all have a story. And their stories are, you know, very quickly, it is not about failure and crime in the last general or i want you life to that. And thats, you know, thats the nutshell basically because the city would be gone from the highs the lows, the gone from, you know, the. d years back to the obama years, even, you know, even before that, in the future, the constant is the failure to address whats going on, you know, right from tomorrow. And i just, you know, to get, you know, crime fiction. You have the opportunity to do that. I mean, a lot of that stuff was born in the populous you know, some people say bolshevik writing a 30. Thats when you know Dashiell Hammett and all those guys people call them all probably, you know, they really werent, but thats where the stuff started and just, well this to get into is both the underbelly and they were, they were attacked as coming in by people like dan, wow. According to dan edgar hoover, most people were coming to one of the many important things you cover in your book is the ongoing gentrification of washington d. C. As historically black neighborhoods, businesses and communities. How devastating has that been to the community and what that a thing you set out to cover from the start or did it kind of organically originate as you were writing the story or a little both. I wanted to show what was going on the lowest possible strata, and i know that strata to be a derogatory term going through layers. But you know, thats strata. Home with people attics, people to try to scratch by. Theyre able to look up and see all of the, you know, what is the boat, but even some people who might be the working or might not be able to see because everybody is so, so fixated on going on on their own area. And i wanted that show just how dislocating it could be to these people as observer because it, you know, they see it all, they see the good in the bad. I mean, there are with dislocation of the black community in this city has given rise to a lot of it. Thats a little behavior by all, but black people towards other black people and the whole was, well r, r, r, at the receiving end of that a lot of. So it gives you an idea, you know what the fall of g. Is, what the cycle of the is when you introduce that trauma into a neighborhood, you know, one of the interesting things too, i like to buy your book is, you know, like the sudden comes out so vibrantly. And why do you think the Nations Capital here washington d. C. Is such a great place for what essentially is a detective story, especially now in the age of trump and then coming into the age of buying them. I mean, remember a lot of the great classics of more, you know, they were based coming out of world war 2 in the, in the trauma. From that, you know, why is d. C. Such a perfect setting now . Is to elevate worry for a lot of the into the power and money were that were power and money gather and and also. d be a Little Theater and could be here all it didnt used to be like that and there was an age of the d. C. Robert ludlum books going to the bottom. And that included senators like that thats going out the window now because it, you know, its personal a lot to see racial and social and, you know, perfect storm for all of that. Yes. We were just new york, brooklyn no way. You know, it werent. But this is a laboratory, if you will, so many forces coming together and its a perfect stepping show the property of so many well worth it. He could be do have entered section one eaten our coming together. It is part of can credible when you think about it because of, as you pointed out of there is where there we are, the Nations Capital, and yet we have one of the big halmos populations in this country. We have, you know, some of the biggest transportation taking place in this country. And just so people understand why is that, you know, the influx of well as misha was talking earlier with like the influx of, you know, stores and big box retailers and things like that. Coming in the neighborhoods, how does that actually hurt of neighborhood and then hurt a city and hurt a culture . Well, i mean you can see it in the book with him kind of looking up and then hes back. And hes, you know, part of the order has become, you know, clean it up if you will be troubled and, and, you know, made him a danger. But you see around him the, you know, the people who will be helped by this arent me. But people who are on the glee enjoying it, which should, you know, be the kind of hipster culture thats pretty hollow as well. And neither of these, these, these worlds interests nobody to get anything out of the very rich, the belle of earth. And the politicians. Going to control all of this kind of marionette. So, you know, even the people who are moving, you used to be important. And you know, 1000000 dollar are not yet, you know, theyre getting out of there. So everybody is basically being rude to me about the war crimes. They should, everybody. Oh, theyre trying to take it to the people who are the screwer is the love of it. Well, chris, i definitely recommend people talk about your book scavenger. Its a great read in a very fun read, an informative read, and thats all you can ask for some good crime fiction. Thank you so much for joining us on the show today. Thank you. Undoubtedly, at least in my mind, the most mysterious, yet beautiful and shockingly intuitive point is that being a spy trapped. Studies show that this plant short term memory can last 30 seconds. When an insect touches the plant hairs, it remains still well, it least, it bursts upon the 2nd touch, the carnivore plant will snap shut, catching its prey like a bear trap. Scientists have long known that some plants have long term memory, but the venus flytrap is a bit different because not only does it in 20 police sets weather patterns and seasonal changes, it also seems to adapt its memory and the flytrap does all of this without a brain or nervous system. Research suggests calcium plays a role in this. Genetic engineering. Scientists found that calcium is the connective tissue that unlocks the plant secrets. Images of the bean, a supply track captures the glow of calcium in the plants as the mineral surges when sensory hairs are activated. This wave of energy that results in the track catching its prey at record speed seems to all come down to memory adaptation driven by calcium. So calcium is not just good for bones, right . But its apparently better for her being a spy traps. Its like, hey, this is how we think i look like we need to load up on workouts. Man, look at this things we learned. Thank you. So that was fascinating. Would you own one . Would you buy one . Id what i wanted. I was like buy i havent just got exactly what i dont know. You got no excuse. I cant keep a regular i dont know about the bible. I think. Well, you know, plant feeds itself, but its because by private breeds its all right. Everybody. That is our show for you today. Remember in this world were definitely not told the real love. So i tell you all, i love you, i roll with her and im of the. Keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night, but results of the us election cycle, a surprise many, there was no blue wave and the g. O. P. Witnessed games all across the board. Both parties have deep internal divisions, and the court is in both parties based populist challenges. This is the perfect recipe for a political deal like solos on the bull bucket list nationally. Like big city bright lights. You jump, but you know, g. s and many dangers to blow the lid to. Its also a city where up 2300000 crimes are committed by the last living, but it will be your most. Its filled to the reserved least one police officer. If you prefer 200. 00 residents in russias capital cost on the english, and i think it will make me think i will not go with the wind up boy singing along with those who would have to watch the violence on the streets of paris as france to bates a bill to ban publishing, images of police for malicious reasons. Our correspondent was caught up in the on rest. We all cells were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman grabbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview. Before the well donte doping agency perms the us for double standards off the senates box, a bill to jail school
