smell that air guns arms treaties broken promises and billions of dollars on the line i think it's a good time to start watching the hogs. pretty. good that's a. real thing this week. as part of. what they like you know that i got. with. the. welcome i'm going to watching the arc so i am tyrrell vinter and i'm happy and i think people don't understand how the second amendment works or the united nations rights or how treaty the work. order or this particular story of this treaty and particularly international domestic two very different things this is how this sort

of political pandering marks that if you keep telling the same scare tactic on my guy the u.n. is coming to get us all we got the u.n. is going to take iran all the u.n. during this oh the ones doing that. that's where these theories become reality and then people are terrified of them and that's why i think we all know we all love sovereignty we do no one no one here doesn't like a little sovereignty but we also understand we live in a global place and when you're talking about a global world where one hundred on average arms trade is roughly about one hundred billion dollars a year that's a lot of guns floating around in this world that's a lot of rockets that's a lot of tanks that's a lot of exactly just kind of letting the marketplace as they say i mean the u.s. sells weapons were the number one we're the big dog when it comes to arms we sell weapons to least ninety eight different countries around the world with our largest client being. can you guess you mean that awhile ago is the saudi arabia.

where the saudi arabia compromising twenty two percent of u.s. arms exports that's incredible. from twenty four to two thousand and two in the us to go to put thirty six percent of all exports of arms so when you hear about you know the dog will telling this crowd of the n.r.a. oh they're coming after a similar it's not coming after us are going to arms treaties come after the dollars and you fractures pockets you know the big dogs and all that they don't like these things because you know arms treaties could be cool piece right but i don't think raytheon cares about your average joe sitting at home with a shotgun for protection or for you know critters know or whatever to be real like the big when you when you kind of put these two things together that's when when the actual story of the actual concerns don't get raised right that's what the issue is bennett the n.r.a. for quite awhile now is that you people who were members for many many years when

they were still about education when they were about you know small towns or showing people these things and making sure you know hunter safety courses we took our hunter safety courses there was again right that's how we did it it was a very different culture and now it's not that culture i mean my are their concern is politicians their concern is big money their concerns are arms dealers who try to wrap up our personal liberties with corporate labor. very good but you know here's the thing about the n.r.a. the n.r.a. is not going to save your second amendment right even if it was being taken away because they're such a mess that's true they are there in turmoil right so just last week here's what happened so mr iran contra myself oliver north i know he got put in for him in charge of the n.r.a. he was it was an area president and i'm going to be shocked that that didn't go well so he was he's out so. he got into a battle with chief executive of the national rifle association long wayne la

pierre is very well known in the circle of doing that so what oliver north alleged was that what's alleged is that north tried to extort la pierre in the stepping down by threatening to expose and release information about the n.r.a. his finances and apparently a story about sexual harassment of a staffer of though it wasn't by la pierre it was somebody it was a weird to me it was weird for a guy who did iran contra it was a pretty bad blackmail. but so this comes after this all came on the heels of a joint investigation by the trace in the new yorker that exposed hundreds of millions of dollars in questionable payments to and our executives contractors and vendors which is not surprising what happens when you get around greedy money and all that stuff so now what you have is the new york attorney general the teacher james opened a formal investigation and vigorous financial practices which if you're less that's what all over north was so i think the n.r.a.

and sort of calling it a that is it's not as powerful as it used to be and i don't know where that's really going to help anybody in their software entity. not great. authoritarianism in the digital space has flourished in a time where comedy shows are news and news is considered propaganda time when award winning journalist work is questions because well too many people are noticing it when follower cowards are in matter of national security is it any wonder then that while big tech giants like apple are still refusing to take down saudi arabia's female tracking and travel control app abs for off their platform they aren't so protective of parents' rights in countries like the good ole us of a the new york times has reported that apple has removed a restricted at least eleven of the seventeen most downloaded screen time and parental control apps. r.t. america straight chavez has more. apple is cracking down on certain

applications that help prevent i phone addiction now the new york times is reporting that the i phone maker has either were stripped it or removed cern trying to control applications and now app makers believe they're being targeted two of the most popular parental control apps kids' locks and custodial have filed a complaint with the european union's competition office claiming that apple forced restrictions that damaged business according to the report over the past year apple has removed or restricted at least eleven of the seventeen most downloaded screen time in parental control apps and since apple controls the app store it has full control over what apps are allowed on i phones now many are accusing the tech giant of anti-competitive behavior since apple has its own tools to monitor screen time however app makers say it's not aggressive enough when it comes to limiting screen time and doesn't provide many options but apple says it's not about the competition but about security concerns with third party apps and insists that it only removes

for violating its terms and treats app makers fairly a spokesperson for the company told the times are incentives to have a vibrant app ecosystem that provides consumers access to as many quality apps as possible she went on to cite privacy concerns as the reason that apple has forced developers to change certain features and apple's actions were not related to the rollout of its own features kids locks one of the companies who filed a complaint against apple said business have plummeted since apple forced changes to its app that made it less useful than apple's tool apple also faces an antitrust complaint in russia from cats birds now we have reached out to apple for comment on this matter however we have not heard back reporting in new york turn it into others are to. well well well well whoa whoa i'm pretty bad or knows exactly what you need and need well you know exactly so let me just go. the ray lives let's get a response to all of this craziness out the way in the press release apple

explained itself saying quote we became aware that several days parental control or using a highly invasive technology called mobile device management or m d m.d.m.a. . gives a third party control and access over a device in its most sensitive information including user location app use e-mail accounts camera permissions and browsing history. so that's their kind of excuses as to why this is out on errants one which is. right it wouldn't be anything to throw it out there since all of the question now is is this is the issue of privacy now limiting the kinds of products will be able to use the kind of truck our own lives a lot of parents says hey i'm ok with giving this third party control because it keeps my kid corner and i'm enjoying a mother phone and runs that technology is absolute that is what that technology is the best use that you give permission to go in and say i don't want this this and

this you need to tell me yes i'm going to i want to track all that information i want to know where my kids' phone is where if you have a parent with dementia if you have you know there's a number of reasons why you would want to track that right well but if your the person giving permission to bad for your own device that's not as if they're going off and pulling it for you know anything there's a reason but one of the things i think that we will start to lose is the ability to find things that actually are helpful to ourselves because they're going and say well if you want to use an apple phone then you're on to use our child care or our child parental control app which by the way a lot of the new update i think it's like ten point two point two million seventeen whatever the latest update of the apple i o. asked for phones and for i pods the interesting thing is there's a lot of reports coming out from developers saying that they're alive in your world was able to get that you know so there's this you know we have to kind of look at this is a bigger it's a bigger. conundrum yeah about privacy and what we're going to do and i want to there was an interesting quote oscar gandy who is an emeritus professor of

communication the university of pennsylvania told pew research back in two thousand and seventeen this he said i am hopeful that the public will become much more aware and less resigned to the fact that there are transaction generated them from ation is routinely used to shape their experience and then economic social and political markets and environments and i think this is where this is we really want you we really want all of this controlling we want this privacy and this idea like i don't want this to have this kind of technology this is invasive this isn't but we're resigned to this fact that it's all being used to make our experience better so if the experience isn't better we wonder why but we don't want them to have unless we get to that plus we always have to ask the big question we talk about earlier to tell because do we really own anything anymore the way like a troll or technology and all of that from car leases house payments the low end of the. who actually owns it apple just comes and says it's ours are just there to now or just borrow on their technology our everybody as we go to break card watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover and facebook you

tube or twitter and see our poll shows that are two dot com coming up investigative journalist bias one joins us to discuss the rise of the extremist attacks in places of worship around the world and that is a look at how a big deal game might actually be able to predict the early all cyber in the states for the. what is it calling his magic and the new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor. of second for bankers call the genesis blog for reason civil disobedience

a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history of. discovering a new world paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo eleven landing. to the max and stacey. resists is a stick from a water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there are the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic.

on the disease. but for now the mountains of moist only grow higher. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you then. from pittsburgh to sri lanka new zealand to silicon valley and to the philippines and now after this weekend's tragic synagogue shootings send gago joins a growing group of cities around the world who in recent weeks on violent attacks against places of worship in their communities on saturday nineteen year old

suspect john or insolently opened fire on a synagogue just outside san diego as worshippers were celebrating the last day of passover one woman was killed and three were injured police also said the suspect is being questioned about any possible involvement with an arson event at the local mosque as well these attacks on places of worship here in the new united states and abroad and across the world to target a diverse range of people from all walks of life some religions from judaism christianity islam and with these attacks have come important questions about the causes of this kind of violent extremism the safety of institutions of faith and what role social media plays in fueling religious extremism in our society here to help us sort through the tragedy in the questions is investigative journalist ben swan welcome ben. have a thanks for having me on ben it's an interesting subject matter we get into this but before we really get to the beat of this i just kind of want to shift really quickly to what's the latest on the synagogue shooting in santiago the condition of the survivors of the service suspect were we out with

that right now. so right now unfortunately i don't not have the latest for you on that but what i can tell you is that obviously the search continues at this point i do not know whether or not the shooter has been taken into custody at this point so unfortunately i can't answer that question for you i apologize for that but just in terms of this you know this latest. shooting it's going to raise a lot of alarms for people right because we've seen in the last few days last few weeks question after question after question about places of worship are they safe to be and why are they being targeted with such frequency because we are seeing that and as you were alluding to here in the kind of the. lead up to the story it's not one faith one particular faith that's being targeted right now it's people of all different kinds of faiths who are being targeted but i would remind people that historically that's not an unusual thing it's a sad thing and it's a tragic thing but in reality. there have been conflicts between people over religious reasons as long as there have been religion which is really existed as

long as people have been organized in the ways so it's not a new thing to see it i think we're just seeing it in a way now that's alarming people because in modern history we haven't seen that with the frequency that we're seeing it is true very true then what you know it certainly feels like like as you said it certainly feels like we're saying a lot of it although historically as you said anytime there's conflict and we've seen everywhere thing for and i am from every corner whether it was louisiana or sri lanka places of worship or share usually like where people gather or places that you feel safe is there what are the statistics say about recently are those numbers backing up that concern that there has at least in the last few weeks or months has there. an uptick. so yes there has been an uptick but you have to put it into context as you guys do all the time right one thing you have to do was avoided kind of the mainstream narrative behind the shooting so what you would

think if you would or these attacks if you were to believe mainstream media you would believe that this is all brand new when it's only happening in mass groups and that of course is untrue there's also a big difference between religious attacks in the united states and religious attacks in other places around the world and so for instance here in the united states obviously we have that you know the churches that were being burned in the south that's very different than what we saw in charleston when the young man walked into a church and shot people to death people who were worshipping there which is very different than what we saw for instance with the synagogue shooting in pittsburgh those are all very different kinds of attacks that happen and they're all happening for different kinds of reasons but those are what's happening in the united states the new zealand shooting that. the two mosques in new zealand certainly the man who led that attack said he was doing so because he was trying to create some kind of

religious war right he wanted a war between muslims and christians so he said then we saw this retaliation supposedly isis to credit for it in sri lanka and even then the numbers are vastly different to what three hundred sixty christians killed in sri lanka and and so part of what we're it makes it difficult to talk about the subject is because it's easy to paint it with a broad brush when it's not really a broad subject these are very different kinds of cases with different kinds of motivations and yes they can kind of lump them into a category and say they're all religious but i don't know that they're necessarily religious people fighting each other over religious reasons i think more likely it is it seems to be individuals who are attacking groups of people who pick. in many ways easy targets because of where they're located when they're attacked it seems to be the case more thoughts of really great great look at all of this and how this is going to go on and i have to say i agree with you completely on the idea that you know it's easy for a kind of mainstream media kind of paint everything in

a broad stroke and just kind of keep pumping that fear like oh look out everywhere you go there's somebody's going to attack you and let's not look at this with a fine let's not get into the details of risk that's too uncomfortable you know one of the things that that i see talked about all the time is is security and like well how do we prevent these how do we stop this where do we stop it and what can we do and you know i can't imagine a society that would step back and say well let's put security guards at churches or mosques or synagogues or all that but is there any talk i mean is that something that is actually being consider thought of at this point of like actually you know treating or relive places of worship like banks but it well i think that again it's a very good question but it depends on where we're talking about right so in the united states that becomes usually the that's the typical response because we are such a a gun friendly as a society gun friendly nation in terms of people who are armed and private citizens

who have guns obviously that's not true internationally worldwide people don't have guns as private citizens the way they do in the united states so anytime there's any kind of mass shooting here especially at a place of worship a lot of churches in the united states do have people who now have carry weapons with them they'll have security guards you know here in atlanta where i am there are a lot of churches and a lot of churches here have off duty police officers on their campuses the church that i attend actually has multiple georgia state patrol men who are on campus all the time and just kind of keeping an eye on it and they and they heavily protect the areas where you think children are not that anything's ever happened before but it's to prevent anything from happening in the future but if you look at that compared to what's happening again internationally you know the let me. say two quick things about this number one the frustration i'm a christian i'm actually an ordained minister right and so when i see this happening around the world i my heart hurts for people of every faith or people with no face who are being killed as they are being killed and i think it's an

incredibly tragic thing. you know when the attacks happen in sri lanka unfortunately a lot of people in this country specifically you know former president obama and hillary clinton only refer to those people as easter worshipers and i that upset a lot of people that they wouldn't call them christians who were killed and they felt like they were being you know kind of swept to the side but i think you can also become overly sensitive to those things and instead focus on what needs to happen next one of the best ways to to overcome this and i know it sounds tongue in cheek and it's not the pastor over the church in sri lanka where those bombs went off went publicly came out publicly and for gave the people who bombed the church this past week. and i think that's significant and i know it sounds tongue in cheek and say well that doesn't save people in the future doesn't protect people but i think it has to have some bearing in a society where people forgive each other for doing evil things that's where change comes from when you love the people who do evil things that's for change comes from

it does not come from ok so you kill three hundred sixty christians now we need to kill one thousand muslims right there that does not fix anything it doesn't solve anything the other thing is when you look at what's happening around the world there are eleven christians a day killed internationally the most dangerous place in the world right now for christians is actually the country of north korea most people don't know that afghanistan is second somalia is third and christians are not tolerated in any of those countries and yet they're growing in numbers there's a huge growing movement in iran in iran of christians there simultaneously the united states has a policy of killing muslims indiscriminately around the world in what they call the war on terror and we know that muslims are not being targeted necessarily because of their faith in the war on terror and yet they're being targeted as a people group through this war on terror and so the only way for us to overcome and i know i'm kind of monologuing here i apologize but the only way we overcome

that is to start changing it by by saying we we've got to insert more love into our dialogue more forgiveness into our dialogue more acceptance and understanding that wicked people will do wicked things and that does not mean that our retaliation towards it must be weak i couldn't agree with you more burma really everybody have something to do and i know there's a lot of talk when they say you know we if we just regulate the internet more social media more this is that thing out of every religion says this is what you just sad i mean whether it's book has. anything it's about standing where these things come from and loving each other's way sanish thank you so much ben for for talking as he does and having a different look at this yes thank you guys and i know you have to go. regulating the internet absolutely nothing absolutely about that sometime you know as well is that in the end. across the world an estimated fifty million people are living with dementia in the case of all timers

a video game is now helping them gain insight into those who are at risk for the disease developed in germany a game called c. hero quest is a virtual reality game in which users navigate a boat along a map in recent public in a recent published study researchers showed that the game indicated that those with a gene that sought to increase risk for all simers actually perform less than favorably on spatial navigation task now if you take that there were three million users have played the game they gave researchers the equivalent of seventeen hundred years of research just for a game all to help people with dementia and different kinds of brain diseases that's incredible i'm really excited about that that's really good news we're good news and that leaves germs our show for you today but before we go we're watching the hawks would like to give a special goodbye remembrance to our friend and colleague chill. bart was not only an amazing show host and coworker but he also appeared in my is the true idea of

being a public servant always fighting for the good of the people through his work in the government and his work here on television and will definitely remember his voice and his spirit are to you america and thank you to bart and thank you for everything you will be missed and you will be remembered my for the stuff. well everybody remember in this world we are not told that we are loved the most sordid tell you all i love you i am tired old winter oh and i'm to have to watch keep on watching all those hawks out there with great. what politicians do. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. too great to be prosperous like the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of how. they should. they can come and blow our brains out at any given time and we can't really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people outside of war and legally get away with. all the fire crawls still brilliant all the trouble here street fail the point it's hollow ploy to k.k.k. exists because america wants it to exist the of the biggest terrorist group to ever

operate in this country and they're dead to me they're worse off than the people who destroyed the world trade center or the scroll why. is it a period of sort of the whole world to see whether it's just pushed but if. you would somebody would believe that it was my job to be look. losing is its ability. to get rid of that all you want to go to the brink of a minimum at best it's a little bit silly was that mean that you. i don't but well it was pretty good way that was a. kind of what used to which you know i would only be done. but i come. here do you mean you're learning you know did you storm the lead here so i'm i

looked up from moods for a better show during the courage your coconspirators america. my son in this doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse we started going after the users in the prison population sewer we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill i increasingly became convinced that the war on drugs was a mistake there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. certain sins for minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's

a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in wave and say by day as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. mark. well we. know you're right. by. the race. though.
