greetings and salutation. the federal bureau of investigations is reeling with the barest mint as we cocked watchers know i'm not i'm not talking about the news that mr higher loyalty i'm so former f.b.i. director james comey has been awarded his own brand new mini series based on his book about his firing as f.b.i. director by donald trump in the midst of roger gate starring jeff daniels no not talking about that now this news is far more embarrassing and in any normal functioning society would produce massive reforms and firings it appears that our good friends at the f.b.i. were found to be in appropriately using and abusing the data collected under the tories section 7 o 2 the foreign intelligence surveillance act ars technica reports that the united states foreign intelligence surveillance court actually ruled back in october of 2018 that the f.b.i. misused surveillance data to look into american residence including other f.b.i.

employees and other family members making large scale queries that did not distinguish between u.s. persons and foreign intelligence targets and that the f.b.i. his actions were a major violation of the 4th amendment to our constitution that protects the decisions from on reasonable search and seizure these revelations even caught the eye of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden who tweeted while the f.b.i. is running warrantless internet surveillance program so flag really unconstitutional that even the secret rubber stamp court that approved 99.967 percent of surveillance requests over 33 years felt they couldn't turn a blind eye. my friends when your surveillance scandal runs so deep that you can get a while from edward snowden then you know you've reached a pretty obscene new low which is why we must always be watching the hawks. were already. the. real that this would.

be the plot of. the day like you that i got. with that we. would. be. particularly. well the one watching the robot to downtown buffalo. wow. so as a sort of gone through the f.b.i. was searching for information involving large number numbers of americans with no individualized basis for suspicion of any wrongdoing. meaning they were looking at large groups of people and not looking at them in any way specifically because they did anything wrong they kept no records. about how often agents were searching for information about u.s. citizens until last year when congress made them do it and then court rulings also

so that several searches and february of 20. apparently involved f.b.i. efforts to identify americans whom it could try to develop and to potential confidential source of their mission while. wearing a game there by the f.b.i. about a devastating for the absolutely devastating you know some type it didn't even stop with them searching like utero. you know all these americans searching for sources 1 march 2017 search actually more than 70000 identifiers linked to surprise surprise the f.b.i.'s all in the workforce identifies with things like e-mail address and things like that in one case and that will use the database to search for information on himself his relatives and other f.b.i. personnel it's like they're using this database like you'd use google. i mean this just absolutely blows my mind it was kind of interesting because their reaction to

the story u.s. representative just. said this is a 72 and 28 and i led the charge against the establishment to stop this program president attacked my efforts and signed it into law with the support of ryan palosi mccarthy. it's an outrageous violation of our constitution and are. really all comes down to. constantly. we cannot rely times on congress to actually protect our rights on any given but just look the other way around or we can go after the f.b.i. we can't go after the surveillance community the intelligence community and all that kind of thing and when we do they just seem to go around in this case i mean that's i mean we've we've heard about this forever about 10 years of listening to they're looking at that they're searching anything they want they're searching themselves or searching their friends or searching their axes they're abusing the system that they have access to and when you think about the fact that you have you know a 1000000 people with security clearances can do that and have access to these databases

that it becomes a little scary because a very large number of people and you can't prove it on the other side if you're in the middle of a divorce and your ex is using our resources like these databases and are going to find information on you there's no way for you to prove or even request information to prove. that's an interesting angle i never even thought about that when you're sitting there like you know when they're when they're using it for personal reasons not even like they're supposed to the board thing that's right it's like oh man and then it just goes deep but it just shows the lack of regard for the sanctity of our rights. because i don't i mean think about it right now right now the supreme court is deciding whether certain groups of people because of the clothes they wear or who they say who they have sex with deciding whether those people have the same rights as the rest of us. and you wonder why you have entire swathes of of us

citizens who sit and don't even think about it you wonder why the f.b.i. the n.s.a. the cia the u.s. government everybody else the femina homeland security as a reason all of them they all their whole job is digging into our stuff to try to catch us in something before we do it because it's easier to catch things before they happen than deal with the actual problem or do what you're supposed to do which is investigate the crime once it's happened it's a brilliant point that is a very brilliant point and it's really at this point in time i really do think that we need to take a realistic step back and really look at how these agencies are operated what is put in place to prevent this from happening again and also look at the repercussions of the fact that no one ever seems to go to jail whenever they're caught for these things no one's ever really punished at the end of the base so that's what allows people say well hey we get a slap on the wrist and a few bad lines will be ok the next time we want to do it.

like dominoes falling in a game nobody wants to play turkish warplanes began bombing areas in north eastern syria this was the predicted fall of after u.s. president on the trump order the removal of u.s. troops from the border between turkey and syria are to america's saya tavenner the latest. turkey's military has begun its operation in northern syria as part of an offensive to move us back kurdish forces away from its borders now already hundreds of civilians in northern syria have fled areas on the border with turkey just within the last few hours and turkey's are already using heavy all tillery and conducted air strikes in syria now after turkey's offensive began today there were signs of panic on this trees of. one of the towns under attack with residential areas close to the border now throwing more confusion on the situation . in syria president trump put out a statement that the u.s.

does not endorse his attack and has made it clear to turkey that this operation is a bad idea now president trump has also said that he's monitoring the situation to make sure and necessary casualties would not occur and now with no u.s. troops in that region it's very hot unclear just how the u.s. would even monitor the turkish defense now the security general of nato has urged turkey to not further destabilize the region through its military action. on turkey to act with restraint. and sure that action may know that should go disproportionate mission. we must not jeopardize the games we have made to get the games over common enemy. because this continues to pose a great threat to the media east north africa go to. nato secretary general stalin's burg is expected to discuss this issue further with president are they don

and stumble on friday now the united nations security council is also planning to meet privately tomorrow morning to discuss the situation in syria now 5 european countries including france germany and the united kingdom have requested this meeting so here is the gist of it turkey is saying that they want to create a safe zone cleared of kurdish terrorists which also house some in turkey is 3600000 syrian refugees who've fled worn torn syria but those same kurds who are they gon is calling terrorists were key u.s. allies in defeating the jihadist group islamic state in syria in fact the kurds are currently guarding thousands of isis fighters in prison and camps an area under their control so it's really unclear whether the isis fighters will continue to be safely detained as many fear that the turkish incursion might lead to their resurgence of the extremists now already isis launching 3 suicide bombing against

kurdish positions in northeast syria just this morning now even a pentagon and state department officials held meetings today to try to persuade turkey to abandon its expected invasion which seems of course too late now and this has caused so much criticism that even senator lindsey graham the top republican and ally or president is once again cautioned the president's decision to pull back u.s. troops from northern syria. this is this is a great because it's like i just today with president obama were present trouble about like you know why you know what about protecting the kurds they were our allies things like that he said literally well they didn't really protect us in world war 2. and they weren't there at the invasion of normandy but we've still got people essentially a pair of. blows my mind at the end of the day. i'm happy to see troops but

u.s. troops leave we shouldn't be there in the 1st place but there's better ways to protect allies like that but allowing turkey to describe the border bombing the way. one of the things i think that's interesting is that we don't know at all the scale of this operation and marks the 3rd. military operation that turkey has taken in syria and northern syria in 3 years so they keep going in there and as you said you know one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter i mean. this is. very specifically like turkey is calling them terrorists but saying they're going after isis saying they're going after terrorists and if you didn't know that's who they were talking about you. this is this whole thing of who's definition of which is one of the reasons why we shouldn't be involved in these things and the way that we are because you have the p.k.

you have you know the kurds have all of these different factions of different groups and depending on what side of the border you're working on what side of the border. these things very very different situations to everyone involved. and. it's crazy because you have senators here in the u.s. who are pushing back saying that they're going to sanction turkey which is then going to put them at direct i mean we all know sanction in country has done it does so much i mean look at they've obviously like crumbled to america 3040 years. hard. to break through and everywhere you see your paper pod cast. coming up legal in new york media annals lion-el opening bell been to the 10th anniversary of the balloon boy hoax that started the viral news and sanity you're going to david with

today stay tuned to watch. and we're going to fulfill repeated promises ok politics to the people and come on you know weeks or buts. you are a pretty. pretty good. now you want to 1st correct that. no.

longer. be. coming. to my hardest to i dash west to campaign. donnish i think. i design you need to be watched as you can. learn to write. since incarnation of this kid my son telling the feeling like you're still

a magician. the son in the book didn't like the model but it had been a bunch of. the in the whole thing was you bozo the clown was a local politician. you know so you don't the last you know little of the young is there. so much more to see he choose to do so not to see. her.

on october 15th 2009 across our very young social media feeds came word of a 6 year old child trapped in a weather balloon 7000 feet in the air he family had told police and the media that their child and men seemed climbing into the basket of their experimental weather balloon that consisted of i'm not getting plastic tarps covered in aluminum foil held together with duct tape and string and as it floated over a mile in the sky or hour and a half traveling 50 miles the world watched and i mean of the world it'll go over cable t.v. especially c.n.n. for our workers and i as i work from home at the time even i was writing on facebook it turns out that i was completely a grows by this balloon thing completely moments later i you do what you did this balloon thing is repping my heart out please please do me ok. in the on the boy

falcon heene it was ok because he had never been in the balloon at all the child had been hiding in the attic of his own home the entire time and it wasn't until wolf blitzer famously asked falcon live on air if he could hear his family calling 7 for him. when he was hiding in the attic that the truth was revealed and to hear you scream you know it felt your vulgar. vulgar did you hear us calling your name at any time you did you did and why did you come out of. a. league game for your show did it for the show a mere month later in november of 2009 richard heene and pled guilty to the charge of attempting to influence a public servant for lying to them about the answer that he was sentenced to attempting to influence a public servant sorry $190.00 days in jail 100 hours of community service and was

ordered to pay $3036000.00 in restitution however the news business that salivated over the possible tragedy has not spent one single day reflecting on their part in making the hoax a national sensation they've paid no restitution for the lack of basic journalism instead they've taken the industry down a very dark path and here to discuss the 10th anniversary of balloon boy and how it predicted the wreckage we've seen now across the news web skip is lawyer and media analyst lionel of i know media. i love this story. more than i talk to friends of mine i said you were balloon boy. whatever happened we throw some of that because you used to tend to be historians war of the worlds in their mercury theater clifford irving rosie ruiz is a roll of these. stories professional wrestling the work kayfabe

all of this. this was some type of us psychosocial test it wasn't just a bad story and i think we learned a lot from this and you know what i mean the old e.b.'s even had this been a national emergency you would have been this was a test to see whether we could actually captivate everybody's attention and the answer is yes we can do that we saved this stupid story and the contraption that couldn't lift. anything and this kid is saying repeatedly it was it was a lie. so i think we learned something. if this if we really put our minds to it we all can be connected the dots i mean. i want to it's interesting in front of me. clearly of bell magazine wrote in his piece balloon boy predicted the entire trash fired world we're currently living in

a great title for an article. that basically you could see it was it was as the start of an ongoing operating failure to react skeptically and proportionally to what turns up on our personal screens it was big news before we have the phrase a literal object lesson the commandeering of by burroughs by unchecked in influence i have to ask you do you right away do you remember where you were with when this story broke and do you agree with the premise that this was truly arbiter of things to come that this was a sign of what we deal with today on a day when there wasn't like the gary c. the kennedy assassination but it was a series of hours and i and i was walking out into the street with cars honking and i was saying but i don't think he could actually float from fort collins to but here's my question for you chicken or the egg is it in the media is it their fault did the media create this did we feed it back to the media who was responsible i

mean no we clapping the stones or the stones playing for us do we encourage it i don't know but notice how these people now say well we're looking back at this had mr whose it's been there at the time he would have been a part and parcel of it but there was something to use the old crowd theory this is a goosed of the bone you know this idea that we were all like murmuring starlings in schools of fish we were psychically connected and by verge. 2 of you going back into the thread to help with that we lived there you were you not even embarrassed that a woman of your mental acumen your degree of mentation brobdingnagian mange intellect self forward book. i saw that i was like oh. well you have to put that on television because i fell 400 percent at least for a little bit and then you see me like an hour later i'm going to tell you something

i learned so much missing the point i think it tells it's ok it's a false alarm but but deep within the recesses in the of the bowels of this event being good we cared we were communal yeah it was harmless but if we want to pay attention we all could do it it can be done because i mean that was it you know when you heard you know shepard smith say 6 year old child i want to point out this though it would have been around the same time within a few months actually a very famous kanye. man video music awards taylor swift which became like sort of the beginning some say of our modern like me moment something happens and we repeat it we use it to put on things is is this sort of like going after this there's a tragedy there's a plane missing mares whatever about these moments when the media seems to just become we all seem to just become engrossed and we can't stop is this just sort of our newest version of if it bleeds it leads from like the poster and her it stays

like we haven't really of all that much so. i mean there's an entire channel devoted to murder so i mean listen why the knives. are watching oh i want to scout oh yes i got oh yes somebody this is what this is what i think we love to analyze things i called the back iranian cheese effect meaning that we just like mad when he is why i don't know we just do this was in the vent and people said well it was interesting but you talk about it i talk about it and the worst thing is i don't want to be let out let out of the loop and i also would be the 1st person to post on my facebook because i would say i posted it 1st because i claimed it i wrote this story i was there 1st it's like to me i'm still trying to get over the notion of janet jackson's wardrobe malfunction you had to have the the the visual acuity of a fighter pilot hired you have another writer add allies of the point of exhaustion

and and discuss here's what's interesting too about all of this talk about the rise of the kind of what was the thing is that the enemy family had appeared on that show wife swap like twice before this whole event and according to stick around it according to the police and court records the bloomberg has perpetrated in order to get that he did family some publicity on their own you know men get their own reality show and they're good and they're heavy metal group because they deserve yes right don't forget that yes yes and they don't and that also in 2007 was the kim kardashian sex tape that the real that was real but then i say on a reality show out of it you know it's real life but scripted grab wise and sanitize for our enjoyment can we turn this around of these people kind of just like i'm going to concoct a story or i'm going to do something outlandish just so i can suddenly how can you show because somewhere along the line we went from editorial to news and we we obscure to remove that barrier fame and infamy are exactly there's a 2 sides of the same coin the whole paradigm is gone it doesn't matter there were

the old expression as long as they spell my name right well as long as they just let me do this. well stormy daniels of a nod to the b.p. people who basically do nothing and kim carr dashon who dare i say is kind of like you know they always say the defendant or the seinfeld was a show about nothing but dick van dyke was really the 1st and she was as well but what i'm saying is that we're learning more about us and you get to the point where you get scared you know when you say we're really not well we're mapping the genome we're traveling around the universe we've got particle physics his brain theory but yet something as stupid as this not only but 10 years later we bring it back to. analyze it and i love it and you rule my day because i've been fixing it yes thank you so that is not about impeachment ok all right thank you so much for coming on a lot of us fascinating discussion about the news media and all of our foibles thank you so much for thank you. the real meat the fake me the

freeze dried meat and spaceship they at the bio printed me on the space station that's right the very 1st lab grown meat developed by a left farms was successfully created in the russian section of the international space station this september without gravity the process which is a suspicious specially designed 3 d. printer is actually easier and faster allowing yours to print from all sides all at once it works by recreating the process of muscle tissue regeneration that happens naturally and gals this could be crucial to long term space travel which would also 1st spacefaring folks but could prove increasingly help on earth as climates and tastes change i say where do i sign up for a steak printer. that would be good for study is there in the desperation of the steak there. i wonder how it's going to professionals. and what was the fact that it made it made this may be easier in space because of the 0 g.

is that when that one really captivated. when we talk about this article it was like whoa wait a minute because it's like the gravity here of the cells can't light combine incredible stuff yeah and i do want to thank you for god is that there is having a protein source for a long term space travel or a long term and we travel even in the arctic and other places where we are as humans is is something we have to think about and like you said it's it's it's funny when ants in a side by show that there is a cargo hole full of cows but in real life that's much harder and if we could figure out ways to do this in a way that doesn't use up all that water all of the you know think of all the damage the environment that like you know in the cattle industry brings to things like being able to kind of move away from that is that i think are good the futuristic printers are like this all right that is our show for today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so it's all you all i love i have a tight rope and i'm top of the lalas keep on watching all those folks out there

are great things. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth . is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes are going to read it and it's going to chill. so we're in for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care

about the law or prison so you'd have lawlessness should have. a terrible life between now and the. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these are completely not accountable and we're just getting more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed because we're. joined me every week on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to . i'm sure i'll see you.
