raining down on president drum during his visit the game 5 of the world series it has been headline after headline of the trumpet ministration all weekend long one headline that you didn't see in the mainstream corporate news media was this curious little memorandum released last week by u.s. attorney general william barr and titled the implementation of national disruption and early in gauge been programs to counter the threat of mass shootings in the memorandum bar outlines the new direction the department of justice will be taking regards to the threat of mass shooters writing i directed the department of justice and the f.b.i. to lead an effort to refine our ability to identify assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike and just how will bar in the d.o.j. accomplish this bit of pre-crime crime fighting you ask whitney whether the mint press news observes that according to the memo the most jarring aspect of the
10:31 pm
memorandum is bars frank admission that many of the early engagement tactics that the new program would utilize were born of the posture we adopted with respect to terrorist threats. you mean those really fun the mazing tactics like the shredding of due process rights torture in the hands interrogation indefinite detention mass surveillance. while as of right now we can only guess just what war on terror style early engagement tactics mr barr has in his mind for his new effort to stop mass shooters but given the u.s. government's controversial history when it comes to stopping terrorism. i think it's time we start watching the whole. you. want to. treat the day like real good this week. as we get to the bottom. of. the day like you know what i got. was that we. wouldn't.
10:32 pm
be. here today. well the world watching the hawks i am to roll over and happen and f.b.i. director christopher ray actually told lawmakers in the 1st 3 quarters of the 21901st poll year that the bureau had logged more than 100 domestic terror related arrests and i bet many of those were kind of a white power couple of things going on there what i'm going to say was more domestic terrorism and ever there was and it was probably because an f.b.i. guy came from an instructor. working. i'm just. also the memorandum does differentiate so there's this between suspected terrorists.
10:33 pm
terrorists terrorists from suspected mass shooters just to clarify one brown and one not oh. i didn't say. we raise our my money goes memorandum doesn't go far right but unlike many historic terrorism cases quote many of today's public safety threats appear abruptly and with sometimes only ambiguous indications of intent and that many of these individuals quote exhibit symptoms of mental illness and or have substance abuse problems i also think that probably qualifies for a lot of people on capitol hill a little bit lower not running around shouting out their rights. i mean doesn't that just kind of make you a little nervous when you hear things like this like oh we're going to get them with pre-crime and then we're going to terror the things that we learned in the war on terror to now take home to our shores and try to use them to capture people before they commit a crime somehow. while they get through the backlog of rape and
10:34 pm
actually put white collar criminals steal from every working class family in this country away and then you can come cry to me about how you're going to figure out how little timmy in the high school is going to be a mass shooter in 5 years. i don't buy it i don't buy that they're at a level i don't believe they have the competence level to understand what they're doing and i think their whole terrorism versus mass shooter lone gunman but they do have. you have a dark and hard combine to make something worse if you're not that far off as we've talked about on this show i think back in august or the help advanced research projects agency if green lit was pitched to the white house it kind of falls into what bars talking about what he's been alluding to kind of reintroducing mass surveillance and the judge agreed. because it went away with. exactly.
10:35 pm
but would be tough to come up with out of the box ways to handle problems much like darpa the defense advanced research projects agency does for the military one of those proposed is something called. stopping. by help in helping overcome mental extremes of these. exploring whether technology including phones and smart watches can be used to detect when mentally ill people are about to turn violent you know. this is all. right. i mean well we all really love to know when we're going to have a bad moment or when. we're talking about teenagers or you know people outside of a certain social norm or a certain social subset in which they're getting a regular mental health screenings or they're getting regular mental health care
10:36 pm
here's an idea how about you just provide more health care and mental health care to the communities in which we keep seeing a rise in domestic terrorism and then when we see these things happening why not i don't know provide the services that we pay our taxes for because that's the hard long road easier just to throw law enforcement in every problem it's easier just to throw you know law enforcement goons and say go grab people we might think maybe blows it opens the door i mean look and that's the thing that bothers me about this look at how we abuse the patriot act in the past and how we abuse surveillance and we took the war on terror and turned it in police state mentality in terms of terms of fighting it. i just can't trust that they're going to do the same they're not going to do the same playbook when it comes to stopping mass shooters are so negative. and i should just trust the good right but negative. shares
10:37 pm
in microsoft had a record high on monday when they landed the $10000000000.00 contract to provide cloud computing for the pentagon's joint enterprise defense infrastructure or. the system is meant to store and process the large amount of data mostly classified needed to bulk up the united states future in artificial intelligence however many are none too happy with the deal including amazon who lost out on the contract and then founder jeff bezos. posed has gone toe to toe with trump since he took office and many contend. that it was bay's oza furball jousting with the president that lost amazon the chance to build the death machines that the future joining us now for more on the microsoft war machine gun tracked is our correspondent america correspondent karen fronsac welcome you know i have to say if you go home tonight if you even have an alexa ask her hey alexa did you get that 10000000000 dollar bed now she's going to have to say no right but you know so they're feeling
10:38 pm
a little bit surprised because it is one of these things that there's 30 king over the world basically i mean they're taking over everything with amazon and this is a huge blow to their ego because they didn't get it and microsoft around you know they're still there actually are july report found that amazon they have 50 percent of the market cloud sharing 50 percent of the cloud computing market microsoft has a whopping 16 percent so by microsoft getting this it's going to make up for that last time it but you know there was other companies in there as well we had microsoft amazon oracle and i.b.m. all pitted against each other microsoft is the winner so i don't know what what is exactly of the contract and what is the program please i'm assuming it's what korea advertising for the upcoming star wars movie like a p.r. campaign right which we all know that those are i think i think are going to be living invested as well. but the joint enterprise defense infrastructure is what i
10:39 pm
stands for and what it is is it stores and processes vast amounts of classified data and now i want to bring up this quote because dan gray of real clear defense he'd put it bluntly and like in just plain jane words it says the jet i could jet i will be able to support the rapid development and deployment of virtually any application store movement protect the most sensitive national intelligence information and support real time decision making so pentagon leaders envision i as and as including mobile even miniaturized backpack portable servers that will provide. units with highly classified mission critical and actionable intelligence ultimately it's hoped the job is going to change the department of defense itself transforming how it captures processes understands and exploits data so basically this is like god 2.0 i guess i don't know and it's also interesting to note too that our government has 500 cloud. cloud computing capabilities
10:40 pm
other countries out there 810 we have 500 so just when you thought you needed more . i mean to us are you worried about our veges using a very huge threat to have that many the idea of like a backpack and a server i mean i know it all sounds super great in theory i just don't know that it quite works and also anybody who's ever used windows knows. so you hadn't mentioned. like i.b.m. and oracle going i have days that anything about not winning on this contract will so the problem was is that they actually said that this whole deal was gift wrapped for amazon so that's why you had oracle and i.b.m. coming out and actually oracle took this to the court systems because again giftwrapped for amazon the national defense authorization act is what they cited which is basically saying there's a conflict of interest here it was deep who worked for amazon he both worked for
10:41 pm
amazon both before and after his time at the department of defense this federal judge then was like oh ok so we'll put a hold on this fast forward to august of this year weeks before the winner was expected to be announced trump of the contract to be placed on hold again for the defense secretary mark esper to investigate complaints of favoritism towards amazon also saying everything against jeff bezos under the sun either on twitter or in person and then he came out early obviously monday saying that trump had asked for he wanted this decision to be made. asap so that's where microsoft that comes into play again it's really not an evil amazon. but then i've got the other one that's still going through but it's there's another there's the other big dog that we haven't talked about the room with this is google and you know i want to get this in real quick is that you know let's not forget amazon also owns the cloud computing techniques for the intelligence community so that's going to be really interesting but we're going to google for them all this
10:42 pm
because they've got their super computers and all that going on right so actually last year google. google employees came out and said that they don't want anything to do with government contracts google listen to their employees and was like ok that's fine we'll take a step back microsoft employees at the same time said the same exact thing but microsoft was like well we can have a long standing history with the military so we're going to keep doing it so that's where that falls into play work google had no hand in this whatsoever not even to make you know thank you so much fair and. watching. thanks for bringing us. all right here buddy as we go to break don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover at our social media and be sure to check out watching the hawks the podcast is now available on spotify applebee's and everywhere else in the podcast coming up we dig into the controversy surrounding the law enforcement's use of d.n.a. testing websites like family tree d.n.a.
10:43 pm
legal media analyst lion-el line of the year but before we go check out this new style of art or taking pharmaceutical school to school by storm painting with bacteria yes these students from the pharmaceutical university in china are creating works of art using different color forms of bacteria. just yummy. it's seemed wrong but old rules just don't. let me. get to shape out just a you can stick as a kid and in gains from it because betrayal. when so many find
10:44 pm
themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability. a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is complete. that's. companies want us to feel good about products while the damage is being done far away this is. going to. do. with someone.
10:45 pm
from murderers to rapists to serial killers like the infamous golden state killer for years many of society's most heinous monsters have remained free and up large but then thanks to a new tool in law enforcement's repertoire investigative genealogy and free public d.n.a. databases like match and family tree d.n.a. cold cases were suddenly becoming hot again find a sample of the perpetrators d.n.a. a crime scene or an old case file send it to a boat you might get a match to their cousin father grandma or even unknown to the suspect themselves but there's a catch as buzz feed's reports nearly 70 people suspected of murder or rape about identified across the country using a revolutionary investigative technique but want foresman to use of public d.n.a. databases also quickly raise privacy concerns as michael melendez and connor boy
10:46 pm
observe undoes are at numerous our d.n.a. inherently reveals not only our personal medical information and ethnic heritage but connections to a family tree of relatives it's not just the. identity match of a single individual it's a coerced genia logical disrobing of a person's entire family to i guess now to dive into the strands and layers of this ongoing debate surrounding law enforcement's use of investigative genealogy is legal and media and less why know of light all media a veritable double helix for me yes so i want in your opinion should police will get this one out the way it should be able to use public d.n.a. testing sites like. your family tree d.n.a. to help them solve current historical crimes let me tell you how to answer any legal question did anybody ask you i'm telling you it works every time it depends for the most part yes 1st question does the person who provides
10:47 pm
a sample. one who is did the golden state kill or provide a sample no but let's talk about the person who does do they have a reasonable expectation of privacy yes in fact they volunteer to this it please i have my mitochondria as soon as i'm going to so so they had no problem so right off the bat lionel's law also is that law always lags behind technology this doesn't work so they do we reverse family trees so what they're doing is they're looking for these you know empire state or golden state killer and they never intruded upon his privacy rights or anything they found somebody who might have matched so the answer is do your there's nothing wrong with that there would be no 4th amendment problem no. violation of anything the police never did anything it was voluntary just like if you had pictures if you love to go outside take pictures of crowds and i walk outside and you say you know there's
10:48 pm
a bank robbery right around here and you say it was funny i've got here's my pictures today oh look there so i there's probably so to answer that no problem. interest but that's just part of the issue. one of this is the other thing that you know we're looking at it in these obviously the ones we're talking about that they're using are these somewhat free open databases meant for people who like we had talked about are looking for a parent that may whether you were adopted or whatever you end up trying to find somebody and that's the sort of open databases are for and there's one that you pay for and you you know have some semblance of privacy although they're probably selling it off to make clones somewhere so if you see more me running around. but this the interesting thing is just the massive a number of cases that they found through this and like you said it's true you know no one wants to be the 3rd cousin to the gold thing killer but if you get someone
10:49 pm
up the street there's almost an understanding the new york times reported that this technique could be used to revive cold cases including at least 100000 unsolved major violent crimes of 400081 the body what about those who argue that who cares about the privacy who cares if the information will carry out whatever you decide it's more important we put them all away add to this the number of rape cases where jurisdictions in states have stopped funding altogether where there are evidence rooms just teeming with evidence because they can get to them so it's murder it's that it's you know the issue is this. let me twist a little bit let's say the f.b.i. says look. we've got this guy and there's nobody else i want to go directly to this company and say look can we just run this i'm not looking for any kind of relative i want to go do you have this person there now that's the issue is just like with
10:50 pm
your information as far as your phone what are your expectation of privacy kin can the government go to apple can you go to microsoft go to google whatever and say we won this did you give up this right or by virtue of you submitting this information to a clown and signing god knows how many terms it isn't and when you downloaded the new form of this did you waive your right we don't know that's the issue that i want is what somebody when the government says listen g.d. match whatever it is we want to go directly to your database for get the men and women to go and we just better yet can we just kind of interface with you can we just if you don't mind it might get a nice government matching fund if we can just connect so any time you get a new one thing being these little red lights go up and we say cut cold case cold case. it does raise another interesting thing because it's like i think it's that idea of what we're right now ridge where you're about the government you can do you
10:51 pm
may from the people from the migrants who are coming over the border right here and a lot of people are saying hey the government shouldn't be having databases of our d.n.a. although we do in fact many cases like new york have been doing this already but we also tell you to begin this is to all the all the youngsters out there and all the people who say hey haifa i'm part scandinavian. barky what you're doing is when you do that spit kit thing and you send it up one of these days we're going to find out from your genome who's gay who has a propensity for alzheimer's who has perhaps is going to be diabetic no insurance you know who has a mental health problem who who is transgender who is bipolar we're going to find everything and guess what you just. provided that when you want to find out your lineage so be careful d.n.a. is not a fingerprint it's you and that's where it's sort of wonder if the where there is
10:52 pm
this change of mindset about certain things that our privacy is that because that is you you understand that when you're giving that swab and saying i want to do that as a parent or whatever figure out why i have blue eyes because i'm way very way that's what the d.n.a. is to us the reason we're going through all this is there a certain point that we are just not really understanding or we're not getting paid and not to understand the difference between giving your medical information yes to a doctor where it's protected and to these companies where it's not under the same like have laws especially at the hip it's a great point especially with the younger generations who are born in captivity who don't understand what $984.00 is who don't understand a thing about privacy is because what we're doing right now is this is going to be a time capsule they're going to save these people were worried about come on man with which there was no privacy what do you what do i have. that sort of the but
10:53 pm
it's so cool and when you see these great part that's my favorite i'm part your part everything so i think i mean you're probably part of are going from lucio still a pretty good abrogating to that's the way it is and you just they do you and also who owns these companies and what are you can you get them back kid can you this is the part that nobody understands and by the way when you do this and you're always doing biometrics you look at me look at my face look at my boys look at me this because i figure prints are going thumbprints where is that going eventually we're going to be 247 pound uptick on everything about you tap into everything your voice your figures where you go your d.n.a. you genome your hair your like your breaking your friends your likelihood you can have social. tora board chinese story about the social credit scores and nobody broke in the your house to get. you gave them his that was cool maybe i could sell it and then they could take me and i wouldn't have to cut i would have to do i just send my deep thinking and then here forever it is interesting because
10:54 pm
i think you brought up a great point to both of them that idea that we're just we're not thinking this through yet it's the shiny new toy syndrome everything's so cool and everything's so shiny that we're not thinking about a long term employee of exactly what we're going to clone one of these days one of the figure on your birth certificate your clone is not your son or your daughter it's you and there's no check mark on the birth certificate for you giving birth to you it's so again the law lags behind technology always and always a pleasure thank you is for coming on sir thank you. 8.3000000000 metric tons of plastic has been created since its invention in the 1950 s. and that somehow in 70 years since we don't have a new exciting clean way to reuse and recycle that plastic on a large scale and i'm now fresh faced start up carby is takes pulverize pet plastic the kind used in your one use water bottles in certain kinds of plastic clothing and breaks it down with enzymes those enzymes then break down the plastic
10:55 pm
to its components monomers the monomers are then cleaned and made into new plastic that is just as good as the original and making it even better this bio recycled plastic can be bio recycled over and over and over again without ever losing strength or quality and the company hardy is expect their 1st processing plant to open my 2021 here so the beginning of the end of new petroleum based plastic wow that's cool and we think a lot of a lot of areas over the over the years about how to break down plastic will break it and then the micro plastics but we know micro plastics are bad oh we'll do this and it's always been the recycling it's like they told us for 20 years serious i go but they didn't actually know how to do that. it's interesting how we keep doing that right look up we just talked about with the d.n.a. thing we don't like others is so cool that we didn't really think about the back side of this issue in this example or sort through our garbage but then do nothing
10:56 pm
with having nothing down to the corner right but this is what i love about this is it it also from what i understand it prevents new plastic from being made and we could just stop i mean that's i was saying is you know you have 8w8w whatever metric tons you don't have to make any more plastic we can still have it but this is a cleaner process it doesn't use things like solvents and it's a close one of those closed loop process that we talk about 8 so you don't have a bunch of runoff or chemical processes it's bio and you get these little pellets like you saw just like regular plastic that you would get it and you can use it over and over and over again and illustrate that is fantastic well everybody that is our show for you today for the number one in the world you're not told or loved enough so i told the wall i love you i am tired rolled into a topical i keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. thank.
10:57 pm
you. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faced only implement from the inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against the troll to venezuela so if you. have a supplement to. that person that. data to see on the people of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative
10:58 pm
economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the economy scream so wants now making the economy of venezuela screed. big tank in the political left tonight the age of the gag order is underway and is boris johnson said to win in win big in the general election brings it you would see has changed everything. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to them when it's go but they haven't told you and they haven't
10:59 pm
told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to chill. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace those should have. a terrible life between though and the. show seemed wrong. but all in all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out disdain become educated and in gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.
