6:00 pm
the right answer. greetings and salutation while many on capitol hill quaking in shipper with rage and fear over the mere mention of the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential elections and rushing back again it appears that the real threat to our voting public may not be from nefarious hidden foreign hackers but from our own two political parties ongoing blunders and their thirst for power case in point this week it was revealed that a republican to contract a data mining firm accidentally exposed the personal information of just about
6:01 pm
every single registered voter in the united states of america. i wish i was actually making this up but sadly i am not discovered by upcard cyber security researcher christa vickery the leak contains the sensitive personal data of over one hundred ninety eight million u.s. voters that was compiled and categorized by deep analytics according to analysis by the intercept this week it includes a mix of private information and data gleaned from public voter rolls the voters date of birth home and mailing addresses phone number or registered party you self reported racial demographic voter registration status as well as a computer modeled speculation about each person's race and religion who predictably deep deep roots analytics as this is a suring us that everything is ok that that they were not hacked that this is this this unprotected information leak was was all due to an unexpected side effect from
6:02 pm
a settings change and that the information was only exposed in the cloud for like you know just two weeks that's all just two weeks now and no big deal look the other way keep moving forward however vicary told the washington post that in the wrong hands this info could easily be abused saying quote with this data you can target neighborhoods in that the jewels people of all sorts of persuasions i could give you the home address of every person in the r. and c. believes voted for trump. remember remember it's the russians that we need to be really afraid of not not that our political parties are hiring private contractors to data mine sensitive private details of almost every registered voter in the united states to use for god knows what new new new new new new new it's the evil russians who are the threat to our security yeah that's the ticket. now let's start watching wall. street looks
6:03 pm
like. it's. like you know what i got. was the watching the hawks. and having a while. all right while voter registration information just out for a world to see up on a cloud never going to get it's not a big bills only two weeks it's ok it's ok but everybody really could see it if they so chose the problem that if they were looking for a lot of hackers do kind of. looking for a secure information so i ask you guys you know feel free to jump in i ask you guys
6:04 pm
what is as i posed in the open what is the bigger threat to the u.s. citizen right now the democrat or republican parties or a foreign entity like that. we always anyone as sensible as any instinct and clinician of understand the world stance the greater threat always close is always close at all right and we know this obviously from surveillance and whatnot that it's been going on the conspiracy conspiracy analyst inside of me saying wait a minute we there's already an interesting relationship between facebook and the intelligence agencies because it's a great way of data mining people's personal information and here you are with. obviously now realizing that the g.o.p. is i'm sure the d.n.c. is doing the same thing is that of mining is as much information about people as possible to understand you as a voter to understand your likes and dislikes and then part of a conspiracy and so you say well we sure this was just an accidental leak or is it maybe being put out there because it was given to some other third party. and that can be that utilize for even more information whether it be for merchandising
6:05 pm
marketing some kind of financial purposes because it's wonderful to have as much information about you as possible to have a treasure trove of voter information at the i mean that's all that that's the only thing nobody cares about coal or mining for gold or actual resources i mean more the future is in diet mining of our personal data and then trying to figure out how we're going to react to it what we're going to do what kind of person we are and how then can i sell something to you whether it's shampoo or a political party or a candidate and of course there's money in it because you want to get that money back so you can put it into advertising and when you're looking at the data for this thing it was kind of interesting because. some of the files actually assigned voters a score based on their views of forty six different issues ranging from immigration to trade so the data includes which voters are suspicious of wall street or pharmaceutical firms who who reluctantly voted for hillary clinton or who supports
6:06 pm
the affordable care act they go down all this one hundred seventy gigabytes consisted of social media posts that were scraped from wait for it read it so this high class fabulous you know words like counter-strike they seem to be the republican version of counterstrike so with this high best of the best in the whole world and what they were doing was scraping the bottom of reddit for information with those i could say though i mean it kind of frightens me that like so many registered voters are actually using rather there was a man. they wrote about is are doing is trying to equate humanity and quit your decisions by what you click on and that in the problem is facebook only has a like button so if you want to keep an eye on something you're saying you like it the algorithms are still still there making guesses on what what we actually believe based on our social going. yes but the in the day we're looking at the most
6:07 pm
i would say this is the most divided divisive election we've seen in our his yeah and only in american history going back to eight hundred sixty with abraham lincoln because literally in a place where people are are unfriending people because of voting for family and sometimes i mean families are at it as he give a little just cutting entire family members out because they didn't vote the way they want to go you voted for just so you know we're not going to i want to throw up to the heart of lord why i believe political parties are a bigger threat to this country than a foreign country and they can win this quote better and g.o.p. political data strategist. told the washington post a quote what is alarming about this now is that i believe it's the first time the r n c i.d.'s and model data have been exposed this is not just a list of people this is a unique this is unique proprietary information which gives away republican strategy forms of targeting and methodology digital notice that he kind of just didn't care at all about the fact that you know almost three hundred million
6:08 pm
innocent people's vote you know information was put on the world and he was more concerned about how it affected and how it leaked the strategy of the republican party well that's the problem with the two parties they care more about the party than the actual people that they're trying to get votes and doesn't sound awfully like you know what you get what you get i don't know that i care about what people like to call the say that things say no you can't know the truth we have to hide it because otherwise i don't know how we got it right you know how when why are you don't don't worry about going to target you and decide that you're not going to political watch list or anything else article actually like i was that i've heard for years if you don't want people to thank you and if areas don't do nefarious. great court. early sunday morning early sunday morning on june eighteenth seventeen year old now brown son in virginia was reported missing when she disappeared after attending a late night ramadan prayer session at a local mosque where that sunday afternoon her body was discovered in the city. in motion a media frenzy of speculation on why she was killed was it a crime
6:09 pm
a rape victim or an act of terrorism now with twenty two year old darwin martinez torres arrested and charged with her death differently might be some answers to all the speculation parties actually banks has more early sunday morning neighbor haas and then they muslim teenager was assaulted and killed while walking home from prayers out a mosque in northern virginia seventeen year old hoss and then was attending the all dulles area muslim society mosque which is considered to be the biggest mosque here in northern virginia during the last ten days of ramadan the mosque holds very late night prayers hoss and then and four other teens were returning home from one of such prayers early sunday morning when a tragic encounter took place fairfax county police put out a statement saying quote an investigation determined she was walking outside with a group of friends when they got into a dispute with a man in a car according to police twenty two year old darwin a martinez torres got out of his car and assaulted hasa men after the altercation her friends couldn't find her
6:10 pm
and called police for help at this point our detectives are going to put the case together as continue to build their case for court try to put pieces together get information from the medical examiner's report on what happened to her. if additional charges you know. are appropriate from that then we will pursue that and we're just here to help with the family so hans and the mother told the washington post i think it had to do with the way she was dressed and the fact that she's muslim why would you kill a kid what did my daughter do to deserve this a study done by the council on american islamic relations down the anti muslim hate crime incidents rose in two thousand and fifteen and increase greatly in twenty sixteen by forty four percent the muslim community is expecting action to come from the white house in order to prevent and sudden says like what happened in the case of pasta not in fairfax county ashley banks r t. but what's really interesting about this is that you're also. getting reports that this might not
6:11 pm
have been a crime but all this might not have to do with religion that it might have ended up having to do with just you know bad place wrong. everybody down and up attacking her you know i mean it could also be that so what i want to ask you guys is how dangerous is this kind of rampant media speculation you see around stories like this you know when you're talking about some sort of crime or not all the facts are out but everyone's kind of spewing what they believe could be happening and what kind of world bizarre career narrative that then either has to be debunked or proven then people will just if you speculate on my gosh it might have been there some might have been this and then the truth of the crime sort of always gets punched in the side why did a raging man after being angry a supposedly had a group of teens decide to grab the you know a girl put her in his car and take her he obviously had a reason and you know we don't forget that here is a woman who is in you know wearing
6:12 pm
a huge job who for whatever reason seemed to be a target was it because she was a woman because it she was wearing hijab and she thought that she would be more compliant or is that just literally a moment of change right i mean it's obviously there's always speculations human nature obviously you know you see a crime you want to speculate on the motivation that you know the girl you know that he raped her i mean a lot of there's a there's a reason there's no more reasons to speculate and there's no reason to say that you know it's a wrong to speculate it could have been a crime because certainly as you know she's dressed as a muslim it's certainly rocketed for certain people but either way they can undermine the fact that it's a terrible tragedy this girl was walking home in the middle of the day especially in the morning but it's not like she was out late you know on the streets very scary actually the fact a group of friends. very scary and so that and you know you can feel that it's as you said it's a man murdered woman maybe raping her in the process which is just a horrible crime. well let me ask you this though let me let me pose this question
6:13 pm
to all of us is do you agree with the concept of hate because it is you know i mean murder is murder right we all murders murders. should we attach more punishment based on you know the reasons in the person's brain as to why they murdered beyond just the fact that the cold blooded killed somebody. i think that our that our laws are ready for rape alone and murders connected to rapes and sexual assaults is not nearly it's not nearly long enough and there's no reason that someone who has raped and killed or raped and left for a dad should should be looking ever getting out of president in my opinion for any ever really quite frankly that's my personal opinion but i don't think the hate crime things sort of really deals the situation i think it'll actually it's something we have to deal with it's not something a law or more time and president says you know the old will kill for any reason we're just making more of the i mean it's not out of the deal really they just go like a hate crime oh well i wish i would murder this person because i really don't like
6:14 pm
their skin color or their religious beliefs but i just because there's a hate crime law to assure that is not i mean i don't know of too many people who reached out point of hatred and despite are going to hold back just because there's an added layer of law to it yeah i tend to agree with you on that. well as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our two dot com coming up to the wallace brings us an in-depth and fascinating look at the world refugee day and them live has a new op zoom in raising a few eyebrows to watch in the hall. all
6:15 pm
the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are. america. r.t. america personally. many ways the news landscape is just like the real news big names good actors. and in the end you could never hear all. the parking all the world's all the world's a stage all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't so big picture. investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture.
6:16 pm
the first world refugee day took place on june twentieth two thousand and one the same year that the war on terror began in the seventeen years since a lot of has been made at the expense of those whose lives tenuously hang in the balance between diplomacy and politics refugees those people forced from their homes by persecution war and violence according to data collected by the united nations high commission on refugees and twenty sixteen there were over sixty five million people that were forcibly displaced around the world twenty two million were in refugee status ten million were totally stateless having no nation no citizenship anywhere and of all those people struggling to survive in a war torn world only one hundred eighty nine thousand three hundred people were resettled in two thousand and sixteen where were they recited well if you watch the mainstream media you'd swear they were all going to europe in the united states but
6:17 pm
that isn't actually the case see europe takes in just seventeen percent of the world's displaced people with the americas that's north and south america taking in even less at sixteen percent the middle east takes in twenty six percent with africa leading by taking in thirty percent of displaced people in the world but what happens when countries decide the best that is to close their doors to refugees the european commission is now launching legal action against the countries of poland hungary and the czech republic for of fusing to abide by the twenty fifteen legally binding agreement between all you countries to help in the relocation of refugees according to the c. of the one hundred sixty thousand refugees to be relocated the czech republic has only taken in twelve that's not twelve thousand that's twelve while poland and hungary have accepted zero refugees through the program which is what is most disturbing. is that these countries have discovered that paying the fine for not taking in refugees as they agreed to is cheaper than letting in refugees despite
6:18 pm
the fact they get assistance for each refugee taken in this world where if you g. day as politicians around the world argue that they are keeping their people safe by letting other people die at some point your ancestors were refugees displaced or strangers in a strange land you are here today because many in your family have run from oppression so you don't have to see that point towards that point i was in standing rock a couple weekends back you know with that with the native tribes there and it's amazing you know a lot of anger still exists you know you will feel the pain and anger of that even natives there and the conversation that we had and just sort of this very. clear notion of the americas a time when all of the americas south america to north america it's all refugees because the native population in america it's like one percent i mean canada maybe it's a fifteen or twenty and mexico the war but the point is that you know we're all refugees
6:19 pm
here and we constantly ignore this fact and it's just it's mind boggling. and you wonder you know with the displaced people that you see today every one of the numbers that really struck me was ten million people without any country nothing they want to go home to and that's not a place to go to and that's that study that million people is almost the size of the you know that's bigger than most american cities. entire city worth of people maybe two cities where the people just interstates or at the time or states with we have nowhere to put you don't want to take you or we won't take you there is always a problem even in the united states the idea of taking in refugees has never set well at least according to polls you know where to go back and you know they don't want to take in jewish refugees. and the irish and the italians the puerto ricans i mean. you know it's as revolt is it and they've never it's always been over fifty percent at any time in history it's no no no despite the fact that. we were if you
6:20 pm
if you're a family game here you are probably a refugee if this country was built on people who are trying to get away from oppression trying to start a new life trying to find a new home trying to be part of a different nation. or forced to come here because they were sued and. if they were located refugees maybe they were saying you were supportive of the locative refugee you know it's an interesting conundrum that the world is that i mean fifty five percent of refugees in this world are now coming from the syria and afghanistan places the united states is actively performing the lethal military actions and that's a that's a staggering number when you see how you know we're turning our back on refugees or you know claiming that we're going to war you know you look at the amount of weapons and the amount of armaments and where we've dropped bombs were a lot of refugees are coming because it's not about humanitarian efforts i'm really tired out so i just have to weigh. in this is not
6:21 pm
a setting tomahawk missiles into syria and dropping bombs and putting drones everywhere and shooting down planes it's not about humanitarian reasons it's not you that's just that is a bold faced lie and that's you know that's what the interesting thing of these stories is that so angry in poland i know people in these countries they're proud they say we don't but if you said that's why you know terror attacks right but meanwhile you're looking at places like libya that were destroyed my arguments here in intervention and then we were before heard the reports about the state department issuing passports to expedite certain people to go to europe or to of the americas but these probably are working these people that are be expedited are working for intelligence they're going to be certainly for networks that we're protecting because it's too difficult to go through to and if you're process since they're expediting it which is really the thing that the terrorists are going to come in through the magical you know easy refugee program it's not it's not an easy it is the least likely way that any terrorists will try to get out of it is much more is needed but aren't usable way easier taking. those numbers are you ok eighty
6:22 pm
four percent of refugees are in developing countries while the countries that account for fifty seven percent of the global g.d.p. gross domestic product fewer than. of all refugees and asylum seekers. you see oh well while you've been there two words like there you understand it simply here's the rich neighborhood the originator hood stealing money from the poor neighborhood doesn't allow anyone from a poor neighborhood to come into the rich neighborhood at the end of the bear and so will go rape and pillage and will steal the resources from a lot of these poor countries and displace a lot of these people through our war time to go terrorism but no we're not going to really let you we're you know we'll just let you kind of mingle about down below and what's the point of showing off this american exceptionalism if you're not going to understand that it's going to make people want to come carry groupoid i don't get it we're amazing it's so great here if you come in my memory is the best place to be and you can't come in here what are you twelve it just seems like
6:23 pm
a very childish notion and you know just to kind of for the show off the statistics twenty sixteen the highest number of refugees from any nation you would think syria that's all that was splattered all across the news actually was the democratic republic of congo congo a credit for sixteen thousand three hundred seventy refugees then syria twelve. iraq somalia and over the past decade the largest number of refugees that actually come from burma iraq burma fifty one hundred fifty sixty iraq one hundred thirty five of those congo has had a civil war for years millions have died and no one talks about it because guess what it's not right next to the oil center of the middle east so it's not as exciting or our newscasters to focus on and the military industrial complex can't make that much money off of it apparently there's not as much to it or not there yet as it went out there they've got a plan there's a business plan around is about to go it's going to say one quick quote by former
6:24 pm
secretary general of the u.n. a nobel peace prize winner kofi annan he wrote a piece called why are only poor countries taking refugees. and time magazine and he says around the world the plight of the operative is also driving thousands of acts of solidarity from the ugandan farmer sharing their land with their. playing famine and violence in south sudan to the canadian community is offering a lifeline for sponsored resettlement programs to the teachers employers athletes faith groups and volunteers working to foster the inclusion of refugees in the social economic and cultural lives of their communities it is their voices the voices of compassion and humanity that often struggle to make themselves heard that should guide our call for action this world refugee day great great great great sort of. silicon valley has made its bones finding solutions to some of the world's biggest problems and lift has just blown the doors off of a major transportation issue one apparently no one has ever tried to address before
6:25 pm
see its new service is called live shuttle and it started trial runs in san francisco so what is that well it's a fixed route shuttle service much like ride sharing but with lower fixed prices and operates only taking place during high traffic commuter times and that doesn't know your to you that's that's because what i'm describing is known as a bus service buses and they were forced into engineers not by a lift but by blaise pascal and paris around those sixty and sixty two of course well if this really offering is a bus service minus the inconvenience of having to sit next to him poor people have to use public transport should i do i know this well i know those because we could live shuttles only operate between wealthy neighborhoods. tack making sure the poor is remember that while we're all struggling those with a little more shouldn't have to be or might get those crazy how to do the bus
6:26 pm
service in them but. were to get into the pool from the burden of their already so this looks there's no where they're all going to get out of our one road but it's a bus service only good for wealthy neighborhood wealthy neighborhood is it just for the people like servants. and. so well it's all right i'm going to take people from there with their rich working neighborhoods where there is nice all the nice check out easily but there still isn't just those the shelters and to take a regular reader with you to write i think it's not cheap enough to just jump on the bus and give your body part time wasters and what we've seen for the bot even about a rally is that like five bucks there were about you know sometimes those that moment were. like overthinking the idea you want to everybody wants to reinvent the wheel build a better mousetrap and forgetting what we already have a mousetrap and we are to have with you hold your look i mean i i would give credit to any innovative coming along saying look the efficiency of bus services is not to say that efficient there's certain routes that don't necessarily provide for my needs and if this service works more power to yeah because privileged people need
6:27 pm
more things to get this is the problem though if you can afford a little better then you don't bother which is why our public transportation system stops because we're in new york where more people i think it evolved so much better because everyone used to it whether you lived on fifth avenue or you lived in the bronx that new york city subway system everybody uses that or everybody use it's the sort of. you know commonality between people in new york and certain places and and in europe here we're like well ultimately you have a car that means you're good if you're on the boss you're just poor it smells bad supposes just what if we were aware of that idea what. it would be are they worried about those are very strict about what is a very straight routes potentially more diverse more of which aren't. exactly very diverse those leaders in security all right you know and you know they're remember everyone remembers world we're now told would love to love so i tell you all i love you i am tire over the wall as themselves so i keep on watching those
6:28 pm
