life is like a game of. ready it's time to make you. hear we question every every piece. on the show we. won't come to the big picture and cook. distracted driving is already a killer and dazzling new dashboards serve up a media menu that competes with what we're supposed to be looking at out the windshield privacy forget it is alexis spying on you your neighbor just bought a drone robot vacuums or mapping your house and robots are replacing bank tellers

and supermarket cashiers another humans we use to interact with kids are texting at the table and is social media making us less social how much technology is too much technology i'm holland cook in washington this is the big picture. every day and almost every way digital technology is changing life and not always for the better joining us is a name you've probably seen on your computer john mcafee pioneered antivirus software that may have come pre-installed he's chief cyber security visionary for m g t and blah chain and crypto currency designer john thanks for being here.

well thanks for having me on ago i was in that las vegas ballroom a couple years ago when you keynoted at a broadcasting convention it was a luncheon populated by broadcast engineers usually a stoic crowd but everyone stopped shooing when you brought a volunteer onstage and called his smartphone which displayed his wife's name and caller id and then another volunteer gave you his phone number and when you called it his phone did not ring but did activate the camera unbeknownst to him which you displayed on your phone and while we in the audience gasped you called these two hacks trivial something a teenager could do is my phone ever really turned off. well more than likely it is not let me tell you the problem today people people are concerned about encryption for example so that your data is encrypted when you send it from one phone to another nobody cares anymore there is no one in the middle who

is listening why because hackers have invented new techniques like keystroke logger hours that log every key that you type so if they're watching what you type who cares what happens after it's encrypted and then on the other end they have the screen capture programs which capture the content of your screen so who cares it was encrypted in the middle we're forgetting the fact that the hackers continue to evolve new and amazing techniques to spy on you so you have no privacy if you have ever visited a pornography site if you have ever visited a questionable site that's selling x.y.z. you already have i promise you a catalog or on your phone now statistically that's eighty percent of the american populace meaning eighty percent of the eighty percent of the populace is being

watched not by a human not by a person but by a massive bank of computers and the computers are looking for keywords like bitcoin bank account wallet things that would interest a human and when that happens that those key shorts get balance of trade human who has hot let's find out what his balance is if you have more than ten grand in your account they're simply going to empty it now it's not just a matter of privacy is a matter of security it's a matter of financing the problem that we have as a culture is that we have bought into the concept that says if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear there was invented in the 1940's by adolf hitler but trust me everybody. as something to hide from someone it's not do you have something to hide but from whom are you trying to hide something from your wife did you have an affair sometime in the past and are trying to avoid those discussions

from your boss did you find out that the day you were sick you were actually playing golf from the i.r.s. did they discover that you had cheated on your taxes please lord we all have something to hide so if we will accept that then please we're in a tragic situation here now you talked about how visiting a certain website could expose you what about apps they're free they're fun talk about the trojan horse we may be letting an oh yeah of course why do you think apps are free i mean did your parents not tell you there is nothing free in this world nothing so if you have an app that and i know what it costs a develop these things that cost a quarter of a million dollars to develop and they're giving it to you for free what they're humanitarians. they have too much money and they're trying to get rid of it no it is costing you something now maybe it's trivial maybe it is as something which is

and knock us they really want to know what you're buying and where you are so they can sell something to you that's ok you may choose not to buy it but if it is a hacker that has gotten into your system. and what they want is your bank balance your bitcoin balance or some sort of information that they can use to blackmail you and a thousand other reasons then it is not in the oculus and unfortunately that is the overwhelming majority of the malware that is in these applications i mean if you look at these apps and see who is the developer going to see russia and they want to see lithuanian name south american. we don't know anything about these people or these companies and if they're good flashlight apps greatest of all examples they don't and it takes a day's worth of work to build one and the first flashlight apps that come out all

of them contained mel where we are a food if society and we don't really read it we don't read the fine print we just accept and the fine print is fairly cryptic to be given with so you may have led up a nine game or bible reading or something have access to your contacts all your phone number etc right. you mentioned you mentioned bible reading ok look at most of the bible reading apps which are very that they're free what do they do at night and when your eyes are weak and do not want to read the bible you tell the app to read it to you in voice all that needs access to is your speaker. and yet if you look at the fine print they want to access to your camera your microphone your e-mails your contacts and good heavens people please an app that only needs to speak to you does not need access to your camera to take videos of you so we're not using the sense that god gave us to keep us away from this morass this

swamp that is surrounding us now that we're need to wake up yeah a friend advised me that when a security question asked my mother's maiden name i should type in grapefruit because they might be able to find out and i am on facebook right are we tally of happiness social media. i like that that's a good idea ok use anything raspberry whatever but no do not give out your personal information to anyone under any circumstances if someone demands it throw away that app and get another one please use your common sense once you've given out your some security number your birthdate your address and all of this anyone in the world can impersonate you can steal your identity what is this what you want i don't think so and yet we do this because these apps give us an easy way

to live right take away all of our minor little problems that are going to flash live here i don't need it right i don't need to go to the kitchen to get a flashlight i have one on my telephone all of these things wake up america wake up world please one of the best and worst passwords. ok you're not going to believe this you're going to do this but ok the most common password is password password that is the password ok then then it's want to pending on how many characters you need this one two three four five six ok seriously we are not thinking we're not using our heads it's as if we do not care that someone invades our life steals everything that we have including our identity and ruins the future for yourself your friends your family and your

children because that's what happens when we foolishly think oh well the technology will take care of everything for me so no it will take everything from you so avoid obvious stuff like your birthday things that people could find out elsewhere put something nonsensical in there that nobody could guess is that help at all. that's what i do absolutely i would do things which are use things which no one could possibly guess i gotcha and why because they are nonsensical free public wife i sells a lot a lot taze my out of my mind to log on at starbucks. well not only are you out of your mind that you need to be put away for or rampant no rampant foolishness please at a starbucks or anywhere i can sit down in the starbucks with a very simple device that makes my my broadcast look like i'm starbucks i

discovered starbucks if my signal is stronger than the starbucks signal a macor a call at starbucks to you want to log in to me wow then pass through through starbucks and you're thinking you're trying to solve or so i'm sitting back watching everything you do for your time for you know that's very interesting oh so you work for a bank that's even more interesting what position seriously so you're impersonating the y. or i yes and it's the easiest thing in the world every hacker in the world has the facilities to sit at starbucks and trap everybody's communication to the starbucks wife i don't ever under any circumstances do that you have an option you have l.t. if you're willing to spend a few extra pennies a day that they can tap into but no we like the ease of use it's free starbucks is nice to give us is no they are not nice to give us this if they have open tables where people can sit down anywhere near you please i have hackers that that white

hat hackers that for test purposes only will say that starbucks all weekend long and monitor everybody's communication to test things like what are the most common passwords in the city at this time of day you know seriously so do not do that think through things which is safer paying bills by putting a hard copy check in a novel open the mail or online banking. obviously the hard copy check i mean you at least know who your mailman is who's picking it up right you may have known the mailman or mail woman for you. there's you know the people at the bank who is going to break into the post office fall into your letter open it and then reseal it please no it's so much easier just to sit back in the comfort of your living room and tap into your system using a key logger and say oh he's logging into his bank account now good what is your

password reza check doesn't do anything other than he can steal the check or the and what are they going to do with it i know the online banking offers your entire life up to hackers every day saying please go back to go back to check someone saying but be aware and use common sense not every day anybody who leaves home is photographed hundreds of times cameras are everywhere which is how the boston marathon bombers were identified so quickly is anybody can anybody out there aggregate all this stuff like they do in the jason bourne movies. yes yes of course ok. you may not remember less than a year ago the very first i.o.t. hacked the internet of things where some unnamed hacker planted a program in some c.c.t.v. cameras that spread itself across the world and then on the signal those c.c.t.v. cameras started accessing the internet until the entire eastern seaboard of the us

went down from the overload yes anybody can access it why these cameras were put in place sometimes years before the word cyber security was even coined well so they're the easiest thing in the world yes of course. john as soon as the show is over i'm going to go deep into the settings on my i phone john mcafee thank you so much for being with us this week on the big picture. you're very welcome sir. common up. beyond our privacy is technology chipping away at our humanity we'll discuss with a couple humans you know after this break. rejected

tonight is a comedy show all of it not defect by the corporate media. which you go after the corporations that just lawyer live profit over people at every turn. to redact it's not for me it's like medicine it's like a cancer from all the stress that the news puts you under redacted tonight is a show where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to find out what the corporate mainstream media is not telling you about how we're going to filter it through some satirical comedic lenses to make it more digestible that's what we do every week hard hitting radical comedy news like redacted so night is where it's at.

i'm going to do just that and you're watching our trio. swashing boy. would you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those for the face your wife or two dogs and why didn't that put your biggest fear in your little bit on a hay ride when so let's talk a little bit bored you say if you ever met the times the best quote about. exploring the top of the list doesn't belong on the pizza now i did did you do to question more.

there are two things i have trouble remembering a time before fax machines and the last time i used one and i really don't have to remember anything else because it's all on this thing in my pocket we used to call a phone and when i misplace it i get a sick a sinking feeling can you relate how much tech is too much tech. joining us dr jean allowed in a conservative talk host you often see in political panel discussions here but she missed a job is the doctor part of dr gina and it's about the psychology and parenting implications of living digital and as for the societal implications what more need i say than author and social commentator lionel thank you both for stepping into the big picture here's a snapshot of your life in the digital age do the math we spend half a day twelve hours consuming media often multiple media simultaneously

jayna kids today are growing up digital we have to ask them to help us with our devices the world isn't their friend or tips but when everything is on demand do children's critical thinking skills atrophy. they can certainly there's no question about that and there are other skills at risk to think about it like this you said you know you're having trouble remembering when the last time you used a fax machine was a what life was like before there was a fax machine and there could be that perhaps the reason is because you can just go check it out by any vehicle search engine that you'd like to use it so the fact that we have that information at our fingertips may cause problems with our long term memory may cause problems even with our short term memory in terms of what we think we have to remember and for how long we know we can simply go search it out

again on the internet so yeah there are some brain changes taking place in our digital culture and our kids are special risk because we learned all this tech but they're grown up with all this stuff is that an issue for kids. you know it's a huge issue for kids when you when you touch a page of a book and i try to do this with my children i try to make them touch a page of a book i try to make them write on a piece of paper with a writing implement because kids don't have to do that anymore you can do everything on either your so-called phone as you said or on your laptop or whatever so it is important because there's something about when you touch it and feel it in see it and turn a page that locks it into your brain in a tactile manner that connects your brain with the activity that you're doing so as a result was happened holland is that our children have become less creative and less able to think strategically and to do some problem solving that in the past we had to do because we had to think how to do things that our computer could do for us lionel same question grown up version people are walking into telephone poles

because they're looking down terse text messages are even more easily misunderstood than e-mail messages were is eye contact becoming a thing of the past. i don't want to personally but he's bubble here but you're missing the point completely and i'm not going to be in this position of saying you know these kids to day with their rock music kid and then. no that's not going to and there's the special about a page and you know cursive writing look that's cute that's still is doing the minuet i did say what art is a is what this is is this is a surveillance data piece this is a piece of of orwellian dystopian surveillance this is a radiation cancer even device that we place up to our ears growing a nice cauliflower glioblastoma we then take this device put everything that

we have learned everything about us because what we are right now is data that we become we then walk into this twenty four seven pen optic on this worldview disserve a lens apparatus that we have with us and then one day this is going to become prison because we try to go more towards jewelry and the like and when this goes to the our fight the chip and that's implanted and dad simplied and they will do this and they will stand in your on line for miles to get this and forget the mark of the beast the biblical part which is kind of quite interesting but that is going to be the end of civilization as we know it this is not this is the greatest tool ever this is the library of alexandria and in your in your pocket and when people who pull it and yes i do agree one thing we are not talking to each other and what

happens is we have kids today especially these days by lenny olds who are much mouth they can't shake hands they can make i can't they don't have a signature not because of this but because of what this has caused discontinuation . of us to being me legal and and right person didn't confabulate that's the problem now all of that said and given the security in the privacy issues lionel and john have raised gina what boundaries what rules should parents establish to protect their kids i think that's a great point i think that you need to limit the amount of time per day that it child is allowed to be on a laptop or on their you know their smartphones you know it lots of schools are starting to put some limits on things i don't buy my son attends a school here in florida and they put limits on how much they can use their phones especially during school but you know there are also apps that you can get on your

phone that can help you keep an eye on what your child is doing how much time they're spending on their smartphones and so on and so forth i think loading kids up with good real all american outside experience will activities and i think holland like having them go build a tree house go on a hike go play baseball get dirty things that kids did before they sat and i'll tell you one thing in my house and i think i know approve of this maybe i'm not sure that we don't allow video games we do not allow our lives we don't have them we don't buy them we don't participate in them because i feel like my kids could be doing something more productive than sitting in front of a screen for another few like we did when we were young you lionel the old joke was that freedom of the press belongs to anyone who can afford one not anymore because now video blogs and social media anyone can say anything to everybody everywhere and the time good bad real news and fake news blur so kellyanne conway is alternative facts and all the other stuff that's out there how

do we know what is. you have the same issue now that you always have had of turning what is real news don't get me this business you all and i love you to death i love you more than life itself but the thing is i don't have it you can tell what real news is i'll decide let me see everything i'll get back with you if i like it if you want to see fake knows what c.n.n. but i'm not going to tell c.n.n. to get it to go off the rails order or go do go black as we used to say before that became politically incorrect let me say that they want a very very quickly being adopted in about a very very good point being a self-styled expert self-appointed expert on child psychology and the matters of development i will tell you that kids babies toddlers should not be watching television at all because they can't process this because we as adults think well that's ok for us but when they see things moving there was

a reason believe it or not were blocks at certain ages blocks and stupid stuff playing with boxes of things actually were beneficial but let me just say this it is incumbent upon a parent to understand that the most important thing that you should do is to tell your kid i love you i am your best friend dream member talk to me and yes you're going to be doing this too much every parent has a beginning of time to say that island has been reading ever since that damn good earth came out of that press they have been raided and dr jean it was your quill pen quit writing your blood that's always been the way it is their stores are closed so this is as close as we're going to get a paddle as consensus thank you dr jean allowed and lionel.

and a boat harvey weinstein. in a story that is real creepy and has been real hard to escape and that's appropriate the casting room coats is as old as hollywood alfred hitchcock was notorious bill cosby's accusers shattered his image as one of t.v.'s most beloved father figures awkward as it is to hear such lurid details some good will come of this weinstein story it shines a light on cockroaches the predators in every workplace not just hollywood top to fake news stories this past week as the president of the united states challenge his secretary of state to an i.q. test one of his ex-wives and the first lady got catty don't fall for it this evolve loni a dust up wasn't just hype to sell books it's the same fake news that the trump

tillerson moron spectacle is are these diversions and from what. donald trump has taught us to watch the other hand and if you watch us somewhere else you can now find us on direct t.v. channel three two one and you'll find me back here same time next weekend and all week on twitter at holland cook thanks for watching that is the big picture for now i'll be back here next weekend in the meantime talk to me on twitter at holland cook thanks for watching. a trial that we have spent countless hours poring through documents that tell the

story about the ugly side of. corporate me. uses to talk about losing connor news coming i'm going to paint a clear picture about how disturbing how cool drug corporate conduct has become in mob these are stories that you know in no uncertain terms my pepto in your post to the american. question. i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied the deep n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo chamber for government claims that cannot

be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. watched the hawks founded by three young americans who love their country but we have to constantly question our government watching the hawks brings the stories the give voice to the voiceless we dig a little deeper we get the stories of the average one else is afraid to touch is afraid to talk about because they don't want to upset their corporate sponsors or interrupt their government access now.
