this game was well known to be a ponzi scheme m.d.s. you see it investigated bernie madoff police twice before they finally busted him and they it was a well known ponzi scheme invested by well known people imagine bernie had an army now apply that to the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar is a ponzi scheme why do people want the u.s. dollar because if they don't the u.s. military sense and they're obliterated whether it's iraq or libya or some other place like this around and so that's what we're going to set the new york times right he said the u.s. dollar is worthless it's backed by my. readings . in the over one hundred thirty five billion dollars video game industry. for most online gamers competing against other players around the world and enjoyable past time but they can't just take a loss

a little bit of trash start. they've always got to push it a little too far and that is where swatting comes in swatting is the completely idiotic online game or revenge prank where someone makes a fake emergency report often of a murder or hostage situation at someone's else express someone else's address and swatting it was at the heart of a recent tragedy here in the united states when wichita in wichita kansas police accidentally shot and killed andrew finch a father of two who had nothing to do with the on line game or b. that motivated the swatting call to his address it was truly a case of wrong time wrong place wrong time and thankfully the gamers responsible for the made up emergency that resulted in mr finch is that the pleaded guilty to their crimes including twenty five year old tyler barrus who was sentenced to twenty years in prison for being the man ultimately responsible for making the call that led to mr finch is tragic murder and while justice appears to be served on the

gamers one can't help but wonder what about the man who actually pulled the trigger kansas city police officer justin rap who shot and killed andrew binge after he stepped out on his front porch to see why police lights were outside and by all accounts pins pose no threat yet was still shot down by the officer who has not been charged or really punished for his actions. i think it's time to start asking some hard questions about the tactics and mindset of our police forces who because they appear to answer every call the matter it's voracity like it's a siege on illusion and actually inspire there's a dangerous form of. i would start watching the whole. pretty. good looks like real that this would. be the plot of. the day like you got. the

police. welcome aboard the watch with your pearls and damn taffeta while if. this is one of the many reasons as you said way i don't game online very often cooperate any of that because it's a very very toxic plane struck this home when my me alone is that if you're a woman it's a really it's really hard to it's really hard in general and i think a lot of this is i've talked to you about a lot of this i think if it had been sort of nipped in the bud a few years ago when game was was in full swing because that's they were doing they were calling up about women who didn't like the fact that they were horrible. i'm sorry it was about ethics and games journalists and a lot about a lot but for those of us who didn't. care about ethics and games journalism it became this whole thing where there was swatting or there was this you know calling

threatening that they were going to do that and it's horrifying what routes are going to one that someone would do that has tyler her as far as the bear as to who made the call and pleaded guilty could us for him for pleading guilty and taking responsibility but he did this dozens of times he called in a bomb threat active shootings and a bunch of other criminal activity at high school. shopping malls and even at once called in a threat a fake threat to the federal bureau of investigation and a seventeen year old from ohio is facing one hundred forty counts of delinquency including mr meters and felonies for a series of nine one one swatting calls that resulted in one case where a swat team reportedly shut down a major highway for hours. but here's my question when did swat teams become so incompetent they're supposed to literally there was a time when swat teams were highly trained to handle a hostage situation where

a highly trained who knew not to just run in that's why you waited and called them right what happened to our so i. mean. you know what i was the second earlier at the start of the show was like we have to question our police tactics if they're so aggressive the you know some nineteen year old kid who is angry at another twenty year old kid on the other side of the country you know says when to get a moment to some the police through his doorstep and it works you know thankfully there's a been a lot of times thankfully and tragically there's only been one instance where someone's been killed this is one when you have a like swat team basically kick him in the door some dude you don't like that person made the phone calls an idiot and should be held responsible but but b. what does that say about our police tactics that they're so easily fall for this right you know not having regard about i there's. there's a really hard sort of. a line that you're talking about

people's lives yes and the idea of swat teams are these assistant teams are supposed to be the most highly trained yes the most thoughtful when it comes to doing things and the fact that you know a swat team opened the door and that someone on a swat team thought the shooting from forty feet away across the street. through a whole bunch of your other fellow officers i might add a fury of the report there is a very shot like right in between and so there's to me it's just a well i think this goes back to we get handing off cops a whole bunch of equipment where they think they know close crowd control because they have a big plastic shield they think they know this because they get on they think they know how to actually handle these situations and these are proving they don't yeah totally i'm going to ask you you know it's interesting when you see this kind of response because i understand like someone calls up and says there's

a hostage situation someone's been killed you're naturally going to take it as an emergency legit call in fact i believe. even called under a number which you know we live in california actually take them with a number that was like registered in wichita kansas so they're going to react but no one walks up to the door and says like maybe we should just make sure that this is happening first before we go guns blazing and you know given how hard it is to get the police it's amazing that it's so easy to get the swat team to do this when it's so hard to get them to respond to actual like online threats like you've talked about before where like you or someone threatens a woman online. how many hoops you got to jump through just to get the police to get through that you don't because unless they are very specific i have to make sure that they are specifically telling what knife in their personal collection they're going to use to murder me with otherwise oh honey it's just it's just talk you know they can make a phone call the whole swat to show up at us. being able to engage with our

elected officials in a meaningful way is become more important than ever time now that they're now there and that's where this voter voice came out in the grassroots advocacy and community engagement company owned and run by artificial intelligence and data mining company fiscal note was found to be a bit lax in its security of the data they were mining in the name of activism the morning of april april fifth. if that was revealed by tech crunch that security expert researcher john wessington had uncovered the voice voter voice storage server was what they call fully exposed what this means as weddington tweeted was that millions of messages hundreds of thousands of personal e-mail accounts latitude longitude g.p.s. coordinates religious affiliation grassroots and advocacy group associations and more have stopped responding to them according to their web site the voter voice software has twenty one million subscribers reporters or users forty two thousand advocacy campaigns one hundred seventy thousand e-mail broadcast to those users and

over thirty six million messages to elected officials and policymaker urged we reached out to fiscal note and voter voice for a statement but they did not respond to us either by the time of this broadcast. people's information that's been exposed and it's why i have been very. i'm very careful and you've been seeing this over the last year as i've just you know push a button and it'll generate a letter to send to your your elected official and it seems like a great idea except those e-mails honestly aren't going to make in as much of an impact as something else but also is this idea of so now they know somebody has got all this information where i am where i'm sending it who i'm sending it to what my political views are what my religious views are about my sexuality my gender my everything i mean there live they have all of this information and things they care about and you know it's literally just sitting out there unprotected. just sends chills up my spine because it's like look we already know that when people were

surveilled over and over going to you know voting and what your political beliefs or all these things you just listed off those are very intimate details of the right you know this is ridiculous that they love this kind of bridge to write well i'm not surprised first of all this as a fiscal now it's been around for a little while and they're the ones who bought this voter voice software and they're in for which makes sense because fiscal note needs data in order and data that's readable not all government stuff not all of these things is readable through like machine learning so they can use that on that data that they're collecting with this software and what they do with that is predict the outcome of votes in local state and federal elections for legislation so bills so it's like nate silver but the added bonus of they have access to voter information as well so back in two thousand and fourteen i saw a play that's a good idea founder tim when founder of fiscal note had some interesting remarks

about the past when asked whether the future of politics was in data and predictability let's take a listen. yes i think it's really interesting where the political legal scene is today. actually you know compared a lot of the financial services industry back to the one nine hundred fifty s. and one nine hundred sixty s. back when you know deal. made by handshake by in person people used to price things without math which is mind boggling to me and in today's age but you know you have these new players come in right you know bloomberg ross perot all these guys come in and say well wait hold on one second what if we actually use that as a you know statistics what if we establish a baseline of predictability in our markets what if we could forecast things. right i'm not saying he reminds me of fairness but i'm just saying this is what happens with the silicon valley tries to cover silicon valley and take a technology they developed and try to put it against you know we'll just get this data and then we can we can predict with ninety nine percent accuracy what's going

to happen with legislation i love this attitude to it like contracts and deals and numbers that just didn't exist entire the ninety eight eleven you know the movie wall street a.v. is time. for me to use the math to calculate prices and told the seventy s. owners wow these are the people that took a whole bunch of information from took money from very big corporations and stuff and then also took information from activists and people really it's pretty it's pretty bad it is it is and actually john weatherbeaten tuck's croce agrees a few organizations that provide platforms for outreach advocacy of lobbying hold some of those sensitive information about the individuals and clients that their platform support that's important to know when you actually look at fiscal notes lobbying clients include these are massive industries we're talking look at this we're talking americans for the arts we're talking the alaska state hospital nursing home association ohio manufacturing you can see it up on your screen manufacturing association the national social federally impacted schools and the

national federation of independent businesses these are major clients whose everyone is part of the information exposed for all to see. not good not good all right as we go to break called watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the properties problem faced with you to the poll shows that our team. coming up the walk of drugs are for discussed the incredible life and tragic death of a pop artist he hustles they threw off. breaks it down tonality. their

prayers for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. they months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the search for answers officers were got back and destroy them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort for uneasiness

for. nasa officials have speculated that humans like challenges of course will be how to feed all of us star weary travelers will scientists around the world are now experimenting with space gardening r.t. america's natasha suite has more. now is planning on sending astronauts back to the moon in two thousand and twenty four and of course after that to mars in twenty thirty but having fresh produce is vital for our health and it's something scientists are serious about growing in space growing fruits and vegetables in space may sound like something out of a movie but scientists have actually been working on cultivating produce outside of earth for decades now since the one nine hundred seventy s.

and it turns out plants do not need gravity to grow but it's still not that simple now packaged foods tend to lose their vitamins and quality over time and scientists say it would be difficult for humans to thrive anywhere besides earth unless they're able to grow food elsewhere early attempts failed growing plants in space turned out to be too expensive and took up too much room since the one nine hundred eighty s. nasa has backed research for growing plants under artificial lighting with added nutrients but it took a back seat in two thousand and six when nasa began focusing on rocket technology but in two thousand and fourteen funding for system called for five years now there were a few failed attempts at a growing red remain lettuce and zinnias and china's sole glimmer of hope possibly cultivating food in space after a cut in seed sprouted on the moon attempting to create a mini ecosystem a self-contained biosphere was designed to raise seeds and hatch fruit fly eggs but the entire project was shut down after nine days temperatures inside the biosphere reportedly reached so high it was on track to kill all life within it scientists

are hoping to eventually grow an entire diet independent of earth but of course there are still a lot of research ahead of scientists before that can become a reality in los angeles and just sweet r.t. . of march thirty first the hip hop world was stunned at the news of the tragic killing of artist nipsey hussle the grammy nominated los angeles native was known for world wide for not only is incredible skills behind the microphone but also for his unshakable efforts to make the world he knew and grew up in a better place even the wall street journal of all whole newspapers took note reporting that while some hip hop artist celebrate a lavish lifestyles and fancy cars nipsey hussle trafficked in some of that imagery but also included more unusual themes in his music like long term investment and career development joining us today to talk about the impact of nipsey hussle death and what his career meant to the industry in the commune the community around him is author and speaker of the walk ins thank you so much for columbia thank you for

having me you know nipsy this week i hate seeing people killed i mean takes me back to the ninety's when i saw you know begin to pocket gun you know get shot down to gun down but nipsy this week is being celebrated for not only his music but also for what he did outside of his music and his help to the community how important was his work both you know on the microphone and off the microphone you know you can't even really put it in words but you see it the way it all of these people are organizing all over the country have the visuals in his name and in his honor and i think one of the major part of his legacy besides music because like nipsey fans it's been like you know we've been listening to the heart since like two thousand and ten this was like last year was the first year he actually. went mainstream south with a major label that even though he owns his masters he was always independent labels still as masters so his legacy is going to be ownership and control and you are in

being able to live for the first of your lavie you just you see people people who get my introduction into home ownership owning the stores that you shop at investing in a community instead of running away from it is all of this stuff is the stamp that he left in music in a stamp that he left in society and culture in general. i think that ownership thing is come up a lot and i think it's something that gets lost in the conversations i see on a lot of mainstream media and that's what the thing about never say hostle that was so interesting is that he talked about how important ownership of the business is in your community where you live owning your own eating what you create and keeping control of that do you think that that you know could you think how do we keep that message going because it's so important everything from financial literacy to showing people they can do it i mean he was there that day to get clothes for somebody who had just come out of prison like how do we do that in community and what were the things that nipsy really brought to the table and taught everyone how do we make that community i mean it was it was a prince that had to be

a slave because you know like so you know a kid like nipsey had the opportunity of learning from people like prince and learning from people like to call you know to park here all of these big dreams for the community but he was able to live out fully like see these things happen so they actually did it and if he actually did it if he created jobs a lot of people maybe only a lot of ways talked about how important it is and you know unfortunately he passed away but passing away is is going to even make that message even more relevant his music what to her two thousand percent streams since he passed away and so many people like who weren't familiar was like you know why is this guy get so much love all of the mainstream culture of our type people are looking to say wait a second who is this guy what is he about him now and then listen to the music so i think the young kids are going to be able to you know dig they're going to see how much he saw and then when they actually do they're going to see when they're going to take it to a higher level and i think in this horrible horrible says situation none of us

really you know we don't really want to talk about but we have to the only good takeaway is that people are going to see it and they're going to understand how important it is to own you to own your neighborhood they're making it is it leaving your neighborhood making it is is achieving success in buying your neighborhood putting other people out. eternity's so that we can we can make a very place and you can curb the violence when people actually have an opportunity to make a livable wage and you can curb the violence when people actually have something that they can oh and they can invest and they can be a part of it it could be there is. no i was this a it's the it's the idea instead of you know no no and instead of selling out you're buying in and i want nothing of us by and once enough of people of anything whether it's with a man or african-americans and you start a group that's been doesn't have ownership in a scale that right white men do like there is that when they're out there of that we all buy in and then we have ownership and i think that's really important and that's one of the things i wanted to ask you next is is the work that they did you

know for his communities talking about what we're all talking about you're doing these things you know putting you know taking his words and put them into action is that the exception to the rule when it comes in your opinion when it comes to let's say you know hip hop artists or even other entertainers outside of the music genre . you know but have that similar background it has you know it was the the exception or was or was something that's happening but we're just it's not being reported on i think is new he's new. even though he's been around for a while he's like this was like. his biggest year this was the first year he went mainstream first time he was able to get nominated for a grammy the first time a lot of people are starting to hear about him he's been talking to same thing for ten years so he's already he's had the language she's had the skills he's obviously very a bunch of stuff he has some great ideas even as a young man as a young eighteen nineteen year old when you watch some of his old videos he has some great ideas but a lot of rappers do but great ideas take great money and

a lot of people just don't have and i think of some of these people or situations where they actually would get paid like that that maybe they will be able to implement those things but you know go back to plaque is as great as to plot wasn't how many albums as to park so he did wealthy minute money's court cases and things like that so. but i think that nipsy. along with like you know people like jay z. who's been gone to stuff a while to these guys were laying the foundation of what it looks like to be successful to be braggadocios a around to have a good time but also actually help people put your money where your mouth it has been an example of you know what this american dream is supposed to be about it's it's interesting because i it reminds me of a lyric from a fiasco artist out of chicago who said you know you can kind of listen to poc and talk about the gloom but want to pick a broom up you know and i think that's one of the traps we fall into is as easy to

kind of talk about how bad it is without actually physically going out and trying to make it better everybody talks about it everybody wants to talk about how horrible the black situation in america is how horrible black america is how black people need as black people need that i'm an activist with black people this i do this for black people everybody has all the language all of the intersection terms and on a little inclusion terms on a stuff but they don't do nuffin they don't pick that broom up they don't pull up in a neighborhood they're not helping those kids they're not addressing those people this man did it and unfortunately this is scary thing about being us. which is going to make more people want to be assessable so it was it was going to be it was going to . i think one of the other things too was the people like you said it's about about what what we're doing and what you're not doing and i think the media plays a role because when the l.a. when los angeles there was a vigil for him and i think we have the video but there was this vigil and within minutes there there was a loud noise and people ran and the media hold on it and they tried to sell their

story within an hour all over social media mainstream that there was a shooting that there was stabbings that there was this and it's it's so sad that that's where they go to that they take someone who wasn't you know they went to this place immediately and it puts people at risk and i also think it's one of those things that the media has to do a better job a better job of actually celebrating people are doing their community and not jumping on moments like that. you know show why they're such a sense of community people try to keep people safe and not jump on that and really report things the way they should and if you don't understand it as somebody on your team right away and it would do it no. we are going to say thank you so much for coming over the horrible tragedy that's come about with the constable georgia for. west antarctica is home to what climate science a surfer too is the most dangerous glacier in the world that clean sure is

currently holding on for dear life the thwaites glacier is part of a current of the currently weak underbelly of the west antarctic ice sheet because of the climate change the glacier has lost over six hundred million tons of ice that's the one nine hundred eighty s. now scientists using things like satellite imagery are seeing signs of the collapse has already begun and kids it's not reversible the can't rephrase this so two thirds of the size of the island of manhattan the weights glacier acts as a backstop that keeps the other four glaciers around it attached to each other and you know. not floating around as tall as a ten story building and about the size of the total ice sheet about the size of the state of florida of the west antarctic ice sheet is on track to collapse into the sea but actually raising sea levels to round up ten feet so let's not do that anymore and let's get some not fossil fuels and take care.
