cocaine smuggling however federal judge threw out that evidence citing the fourth amendment and calling the practice unconstitutional meant they needed a warrant before tracking the vehicle outside the border exceptions the homeland security responded to the judge's decision declaring that given their job is defenders of national security it is policy that a customs officer made install a g.p.s. tracking device on a b. a goal at the u.s. border without a warrant or individualized suspicion h.s.i. limits warrantless g.p.s. monitoring to forty eight hours within the exception of or with the exception of airplanes commercial vehicles and a semi tractor trailers which every significant lead reduced expectation of privacy . so with homeland security looking to risk away our fourth amendment i think it's time we start watching the hawks. what. it looks like. it's like. as you put it out of.

the like you know that i got. with. the. world the watching the hearts world with her and i have a lot less. bad blood. welcome to america welcome to i love the border as other divas our duty as if they you know think you're not a you're not in the military. you're not going to irag here trying to stop a little cocaine coming across the border and bags of sugar and go immigrants in jail because like this. like i don't know that we don't want to hear about it

is this is one of the most like bizarre cases in the world i mean it reads like a breaking bad scenario from the old television shows that apparently there's this drug kingpin legend canadia allegedly who's like sending drugs across the border there's some my truck's filled with food to go to starbucks and then like laced in mirrors like you know bags of cocaine and that's what they wore that's why they were watching this particular truck and across the road like porsche or other michigan at the canadian u.s. border there and that's when the f.b.i. after consulting with homeland security said hey let's put a g.p.s. tracker on this which is not exactly legal standpoint like you can when you would you cross a border into the united states they can search everything they can all start your car like a. you don't really have many rights at the border you know they can do that but it's usually within like this hundred miles oh and it's not one someone leaves the hundred miles on which is the real problem here and they tracked that truck for thirty three hours as it were michigan to chicago all the way down the southern

california and that's where the l.a.p.d. they have the l.a.p.d. to confront them and bring in the two drivers and that's where this whole case kind of spring out where a judge said you can't do this homeland security f.b.i. sorry yeah i mean there's always that question about what's constitutional search and seizure and what's not and one of the things that came up with this is prosecutors think the d.h. does are arguing. so installing a g.p.s. tracker on a vehicle it's valid under border doctrine which is as you were saying this is the exception to the fourth amendment that within one hundred miles of any of our borders they have free reign to kind of totally free reign but much less exceptions to rules and things like that so brian knows there's a law professor at the university of north tac says had told he formally started by the way as a federal matter magistrate magistrate judge along the border and southern texas and what he told us technica in an e-mail was that congress has established that a warrant is necessary for in the installation of

a mobile tracking device which includes g.p.s. devices congress does not discuss any exceptions for border search as a number it is when you really look at the law when you look at the specifics if there aren't a mix if there isn't a specified exception to something like a border then that means it covers everybody but homeland security in this idea of border security being such a major issue is. it's obviously very politicized. and you don't get a lot of answers from the government about that policy at all that's how we end up in situations like this where no one seems to agree on what the policy you're exactly right because they're all in there saying loud hey what you just pointed out there are no mirrors so that you can put a g.p.s. tracker on these cars were you know somebody a truck or someone's volkswagen like you can do that. ars technica asked homeland security investigators to say ok then show me where your policy is show me where

this says it's ok and they were told by the agency spokesman the policy is law enforcement sensitive and they would have to file a boil request which then the attorneys for the two drivers they could have jumped all over the motion in court arguing against the government position essentially saying if the federal government does in fact tab such a policy that's trading. law enforcement agencies agents to act as the policy suggest which is a violation of the fourth amendment the government should be deterred and the agency's internal policies and training should be repealed and scrutinized i couldn't agree more if you have a policy that's violating before the member at the end of the day you should be scrutinized as. the controversial and strange case of jamal going to show gate the saudi journalist a columnist for the washington post who disappeared last week inside the saudi consulate instable is raising even more serious questions with very few answers on

the horizon some of those questions involve not only who showed he was and who he was connected to but also what the u.s. response will be towards its close allies saudi arabia if they are indeed found to have been involved in a sister parents another important question being raised is whether the united states intelligence community had any advance knowledge of a plan by saudi arabia to arrest interrogate or even ultimately kill him and failed to provide any warning here to bring us the latest on this bizarre case is r.t. america correspondent rachel blevins thank you for joining us today rachel thank you for having me rejoice you know a lot of mainstream reports and in common some social media have indicated that there is you know rage about the possibility that saudi arabia would assassinate a journalist who was critical of their government but. i think anybody who's followed the exploits of. the country knows that it has a history of targeting political adversaries and dissidents you know is the outrage justified at this point or should have been something that we've all seen coming

for a while there's still so much we don't know about this case but the one thing that we do know is that this is a journalist who has worked with the saudi government in the past and then turned against the royal family and even fled to the u.s. at one point so saudi arabia was targeted targeting this journalist specifically it really when it comes this a prairie close allies this is sort of more and more interesting as it goes on right now it's all those little pieces and i'd say one of our sort of mysteries that gets everybody's attention but i hope we stay on this story because there is a major international policy issue at play here about how we interact and how we you know follow our own morals and guidelines and you. can't look the other way just because their allies are rachel but instead you're so much for coming on and illuminating on the latest in this case always a pleasure we are going to break orc watchers don't forget to let us know what top where what you think of the topics we've covered were covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that are t.v. dot com coming up is free speech and our right to protest about to be monetized the

outlaws of your washington d.c. find out as we bring out a definite free speaker himself jesse ventura to join us after the break so stay tuned to watch the whole. banks that are so vital guys they seem to want to start simply that are always. there you don't get them back. oh no this is a repatriation look at the rest of seventy years. military that's kaiser report. hillary clinton so civility can only return when the democrats are back in power

former obama a.g. eric holder has coined a new phrase when they go low we kick them without a doubt both statements can be dismissed as political banter as the midterms loom but it would seem no one can claim much virtue and civility in this environment. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found dennison the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way that doesn't mean that we want even many of the families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite you know

we've been through this this isn't the way. in one thousand seven hundred the very first picket line appeared outside of the white house it was to get the president woodrow wilson to expand this is a b. anthony act without women the right to vote in the united states over the course of a year or two hundred eighteen protesters from twenty six states were arrested for disturbing sidewalk traffic those protests were an awakening which ultimately led to women finally getting the right to participate in u.s. democracy on the nineteenth a memo was ratified in one thousand nine hundred but these days that same protest would yield many more are. partisan conspiracy theories and probably a bill from the city according to proposed changes to the national park service all

but five feet of the now twenty five foot wide sidewalk in front of the white house on pennsylvania avenue will be closed in addition the n.p.'s wants to charge protesters a fee to recover administrative equipment and monitoring caused by the park service and most importantly the new roles would limit the amount of people who can spontaneously protest in a particular area now many of the rules were suggested by the secret service who have seen an increase in security breaches at the white house since the obama administration but others seem to stifle the exact purpose of a capitol city and what is supposed to be a free democracy however there seems to be a major discrepancy between how armed spontaneous protests like the bundy standoff in twenty four eighteen and on armed standoff like those that occurred during judge kavanaugh his confirmation hearings are handled so with the a.c.l.u. calling foul on capitol hill more worried about the next election than the next constitutional amendment to be shredded we welcome former minnesota governor jesse ventura to help us understand more welcome. great to be

here i hope by the help us understand that. you know it's in our soul the constitution and the bill of rights the first amendment guarantees us the right to protest it's that simple as long as you don't commit acts of violence you can permit peaceful protest and this is public land public property so therefore protesters should be allowed to be on the public land but what you have help me here is the way that you rode our rights they're not going to do something but big like a slap i'm afraid they're going to do it slowly choose a little juice a match with this type of stuff does it slowly choose those away the juice so that pretty soon they'll be tell us where we're. and how we can protest and will probably be the only legal place will be like up in the north woods by healy

minnesota. i know that town i've been there to get us the really funny because. you know i think even though like you know the three of us know why it's so important but just in case people are still kind of like confused or you know well maybe they do need the security why is it why is protecting the right to protest so vital for this country and any country. because that's part of freedom it's that simple it's a way for people to speak out and make their government hear them you know these people in washington they're all isolated i've been a mayor i've been a governor and mayor is the place where you actually see the people one on one every week where you got to look him in the eye these people in washington like mitch mcconnell and all those bozos they don't look nobody in the eye they live in their own little isolated world see and protesting interferes with that isolated world that they live in they actually after see disgruntled i'm happy people at

times that that bothers them greatly you know i serve six years in the united states navy. i took an oath to protect the constitution and bill of rights from all enemies foreign and domestic and i can tell you right now domestically the biggest enemy to our constitution is our own government so i view them as the enemy that's why i would watchdog them so much all the time. well jesse one of the main reasons that keeps me giving about changing protester rolls around and changing how you know all of the parks function and how many people can be in certain areas are really looked to be very politically driven as i said you know what was it three months of armed protests and by the bundy is well that's there right now. everything else and we walked around it where you know if anything happens here in d.c. it's very different one of the things that they're doing already is to replace the

very old fence the one that kept getting jobs that everybody i think a toddler got through what i want because it's a very thin or very wide spot between it so they're replacing the fence with one that is more modern and has anti climbing technology on it so in reality like do you think the security of the capitol and its parks is more important than free speech because at this point if you're getting the fence why do you have to take away twenty feet of really important real estate for freedom for freedom of speech like being able to protest to the president is so important to both to have good to do both they can put in a new fence with better security because certainly you want security you know want people to be able to scale the fence and run across the white house lawn you know i understand that but they could build today's technology if he's talking about building a wall on the mexican border why don't they just build

a modern security around the white house not have to disturb anything and people will still be free to protest all they want let's remember something you got a congress here in washington they are a bunch of as we used to call them spineless pukes when i went through buds training to become a navy seal they're spineless pukes they've given up one of the major things they've given up these people in washington and they ought to be protested they now allow the president to take us to war that's ridiculous our constitution was set up so that it could not happen so one person could not take you're still war and these people should be protested over this but see they are they want to isolate themselves they want to have no contact with the regular people and that way they just go to their washington d.c. dinner party. these and run our country and take all their bribery money in the process move here's one for years when the changes were first proposed back in

august of this year samantha miller an organizer with the d.c. action lab you see a lot of times in these like spontaneous protests you know both with kavanagh and other times she told the washington post that quote imposing any more cost on people expressing their first amendment rights is goal is just going to stop people from doing that or it's going to increase the number of permitted protests which can be a concern when you want to keep people safe basically you know when i want to ask you this when they're talking about putting cost making protesters pay to be able to protest when we were a choir payment for the exercise of a basic constitutional right like freedom of speech what message are we sending about the foundational stones of our democracy. will the message we're sending tired tired tired the message we're sending is simple only the rich people will be able to protest go have the money to pay the bill you know all poor people won't

have to answer of course rich people aren't going to protest so thus they've solved the protests problem it is utterly absurd that on public land they're going to tell you that somehow you have to pay a cost for walked into a round and holding a sign which is protected by the first amendment of the constitution of the united states of america the biggest law in the land. yeah well one of the things that i enjoy and i might add the law that allows you to burn the flag if you want to exactly which is funny is that all of these rules about where and when you can protest and how this works and whether it helps our society or hurts our society or this is the n.f.l. it's always this what kind of protest you have this entire country if people didn't throw bricks the teat ends it into boston harbor many. many years ago we probably would not that story that teaches us that a bird house is a really important yes doesn't want to know what you think i mean one of the things

is that this really seems to be a class divide if you have the money you could have speech because as we know money is speech and a corporation is a person so where are we headed in a world where only the money to classes only those who can afford it can have a political opinion and the poor or the working class are just shut out and less they want to follow another rich person. you know well it sounds to me i guess a little bit like it sounds to me a bit like fascism it sounds like things i've read about nineteen thirty germany and italy and those type of places where you have dictatorships and not freedom you know the first thing you know the first thing the dictators want to do is quell the masses put them under control and by eliminating our first amendment i'm not allowing people to voice their dissention of government policy that's an effort of

him cuffing the public putting them under control and that's what this is all about right now it's controlling the public putting them under control so that they can speak out against these milk toast but man those out there who can't stand the heat and truly all of them ought to get out of the kitchen including that slackjawed mitch mcconnell you. know i got to you know it's interesting because we've been talking about mass protests you know on the national mall in front of the white house but what about those smaller ones that we've all seen videos of recently where you saw like you know the group of people confronting ted cruz at a restaurant or things like that you know which is a private business would how do you feel about smaller protests like that where they're kind of singling out individual congressmen or leaders. well mad deal you've got a protest on public property you cannot be walking inside of restaurants that are privately owned i don't think that's the proper place to do it now if they want to

wait outside on the public street and wait for ted to finish is dinner and then protest the hell out of him well again for all your elected officials if you can't stand the heat get out of the damn kitchen you know but the point is you could take it too far if it's private property you don't have the right to go in there and disturb a private enterprise or anything like that with protests keep it in the street keep it public land and for sure no violence the worst thing you can do is commit them act of violence that gives them the excuse to lock you up that's very true and i think we are far too often forget that the at the end of the day a lot of this is optics because it's not just about the physical protests there that's happening it's also about what people are seeing at home and it's very important that those people at home get your message without being scared by it or seeing you violence is never going to get the message across just the always a pleasure to have you on thank you so much for talking to us about the freedom of

speech and the right to protest today. save you all try to be a little more controversial next. to your robot is one of the moons that orbit the planet jupiter a mere three hundred ninety million miles from earth or short trip and its spiky surface could make the search for life there bit of a challenge say a new study from the inner city of cardiff predicts that the surface of jupiter is not smooth as predicted previously thought a covered in fifty five foot shards of ice seem a form because water can turn from ice directly to water vapor without melting first on that this process known as supplementation is what creates the sharp blade like shards that would make landing a rover on europa are going to want to trick. thing is europa is such an interesting site for future manned and unmanned space missions but the ice shards will just figure out a way to navigate out men while the one be habitable for humans on long term the presence of water mean this is the presence of light and the possibility that

europa holds the answers to some of the solar system's greatest mysteries just kept past the fifty foot i share you know little things like little little things like any fifty foot i show you'll never catch me because you will or whether time i like a sweater weather. fifty foot i shorts weather weather to the store. for you not for me all right everybody that is harsh over there remember everyone in this world we are not up to the help so i tell you i love you i am tired and on top of the wall heap of watching those are sort of agree there and buy them.
