doping act of 2019 would strengthen the integrity of international sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons involved in international doping fraud conspiracy. the act would green light washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players. and it outlines some have to be penalties, fines of up to $1000000.00, as well as prison sentences of up to 10 years. a dream come true for the usa today . it is a monumental day in the fight for clean sport worldwide. and we look forward to seeing the act soon become law and help change the game for clean athletes for the good. considering how the u.s. has treated domestic doping in the past. the log book could probably use of updates take julian edelman, the patriots shining star and super bowl m.v.p. his career seen some great achievements with a little help from dope. he treats wide receiver julian edelman is facing a 4 game suspension for performance enhancing substances. a 4 game suspension is

quite a long leap away from 10 years in the can for edelman though, the cushy treatment didn't end there. he was still showered with awards at the years and even sealed advertisement deals. there are no rules in basketball. it's a similar story. last year, basketball, prodigy deon dreyer, 18 was caught doping up, his punishment, jail, just kidding. he was suspended for $25.00 games and then showed up on the jimmy kimmel show. he's a member of the n.b.a. all rookie team from the phoenix suns. say hello to deion 38 and hello to the right . and here's the best part. he's now the face of a protein health shake, commercial ties on the prize. thanks to you, bill washington's long made it clear they take doping in sports very seriously when

of course, the suits their agenda. sports right. tom brokaw style them all well as the us bill has a very different agenda to the one stated this has nothing to do with the least welfare or looking after. if they did, it would be totally different stuff looking out for the it's not going to vote for the sponsors of the sports. it's simply looking out for the interests of the hollanders, media, and government. it's nothing to do with r.c. whether because it was r.c. welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the major league sports in america would side of the media to water. but you won't do that because the owners of the big major sports teams, media networks who cover them. huge be massive, is huge and investors in these sports won't happen. so this has nothing to indicate whether this is simply about greed and the dollar. that's

a wrap this hour. i'll be back at the top with the latest greetings and sell you. sold just and then just slicing some pineapple, swiping to the right, ordering some grub from the hub while i get my lift back from the studio. once the show's done, who we love our apps, you know, they become our new pet rock slash we board it our time. but with every app comes, a lack of privacy apps today can track our movements document what we eat, hold our bank account numbers, they keep track of our social circles,

and they even know who we pray to. we allow them to do this by simply clicking the click. i accept your terms. but do we really accept them? do we really, would we really agree to these terms? if, if we knew that, you know where we go, who we see, and what we do is also being sent to and viewed by not just advertisers hungry to sell us the latest brand new thing we don't need. but also the united states military and their favorite private contractors, that my friends is at the core of a scandal that journalists working over a motherboard of uncovered after months of investigations. motherboard's joseph cox lays out the controversial findings, writing quote, the u.s. military is buying the granular movement data of people around the world, harvested from innocuous seeming apps. these apps unwittingly or willingly are sending the u.s. military, your location data, among other things, they include a loose limbed prayer and qur'an app that has more than 98000000 downloads

worldwide. a muslim dating app, a popular craigslist app and an app for following storms. and, and a level app that can be used to help, for example, install shelves in a bedroom. because nothing i want more in this world is for the u.s. airports general's own jack the ripper. knowing that i can't hang my bedroom shelves straight. let's look all kidding aside. this is without a doubt, a very serious invasion of privacy by the u.s. military industrial complex as u.s. representative bill and omar tweeted and points out she tweets the military industrial complex and the surveillance state have always had a cozy relationship with the tech buying bulk data in order to profile muslims as par for the course for them, and is absolutely sickening, it should be illegal. no one should log on to a prayer or dating app with the expectation that the u.s. military is just behind your screen. buying up your meditated and violating your

privacy. i mean that's what the n.s.a. is for after all. now let's start watching the hawks. if you want to go on a cd,, you want to see them. so you click see, see the prices. you always stay on c.e.o., rolls royce, gracie suggests least systemic deception is the late show, which would be so when the deal as well. going one to watch i robot and i'm across. all right, my friends, like i'm a show, this is, this is pretty incredible when we really look at how all this breaks down. but the u.s. military has been caught. motherboard's found out that they are buying location data . and this story combines that kind of mysterious and dangerous location data in

the u.s. military's obsession with that, which has become which, you know, look at the end of the day. they've used for drone strikes of all to milly killed civilians and things of that nature. it's a very dangerous issue. no, you're absolutely correct. and it's one that he'd been to a lot of the conversation about what it's about data privacy and what's been going on on some of these social media sites, as well as some of the social dating apps. because they are so popular, you have gone there, not even reading when there are disclaimers. but to my understanding for this type of thing, there has not even been a disclaimer that says where this information is going. and people are unwittingly finding out by the thousands. sometimes more than that, under erroneous pretense, a good doing one thing and now they're step is being sold to, god knows who well in this case we do know who going on with that. i mean it's crazy because it's like, look, we all kind of expect a little bit of like we, we expect that there's no privacy, especially when we click i accept, you know, as i mentioned earlier. but what's interesting with this is that motherboards investigation, you know, basically uncovered 2 separate parallel streams that the u.s. military uses to obtain this location data. another metadata. the 1st use

a company called babble street, which creates a product called locate x. . you socom u.s. special operations command, which is a branch of military tasked with counterterrorism and things like that around the world. they bought access to locate, locate x. 2, i guess, want to with assume with their counterterrorism activities. but they're still, you know, they obviously because everything's classified, you don't really know at the end of the day. the other stream is through a company called x. mode, which obtains location data directly from the apps and then sells the data to the contractors. and then by extension, the military, you know, as you see the kind of stages and how it ends up in u.s. military form, right? there starts with the up the location data sent to like something like x. mode, defense contractors by location date off x. mode. then handed over to the u.s. military. it's to me it's just like this is a really dangerous precedent because we don't use a nap. and then we don't why we should not to use an apple no one around the world to use an app and worry about who is viewing their data, especially the military. no, you're absolutely correct in the thing with this is that we've seen somewhat of

a model that was similar in china, but it was used by china to spy on chinese people. we have yet to see something with the military using this social dating app. and it is going that that information is going towards another country. so not this is not happening with this is the 1st like me to report we're having on that type of thing. i think that it, it poses some significant concerns. one not only related to privacy, again, that's something that americans have the knock down doors about warning our data to be private. so you knew lising, this is going to be and where it goes is going to be interesting. but also, just if it's done here, where else then who else is going to get the idea to do the exact same thing and at what point are people going to just, either not use these apps or these, these types of facilities again, or you know, what is this world look like when that's the problem? and also how can we point the finger at places like china and things like that? as you mentioned, like how can we sit and point the finger at them and say, how dare you compile all your so this and stuff? well guess what? we're doing it to, you know, millions of people around the world,

including and it very clearly a lot of this like data mining that the military is doing is being very specifically targeted that cater to muslims. it's incredible how many i mean, one of the that was discovered something data the x. mode included called muslim crow, which reminds users when to pray and in what direction? they never had any idea that their location data is being sent to the u.s. military. you know, by way of all these, the, from the hurdles is being sent to the u.s. military. they actually announced they are suspending business with x. mode after the motherboard article had come out, they're telling motherboard quote, in respect of the trust of prayers put the trust of millions of probes put some muslim pro every day. we are immediately terminating our relationship with our data partners, including with x. mode, which started 4 weeks ago that up and down like a $50000000.00 times in android in over $98000000.00 in total cross other platforms . so you see the size and scope of data that the, the government military could be collected for years. and this makes sense if you're going after terrorists or going after some type of link sale where that's

possible. but these are just regular citizens. so this is, this is contrary to be careful where you walk. glass is everywhere. women are shattering the glass ceiling from the 1st woman and woman of color to serve. as vice president, vice president elect harris to the record breaking amount of women voting fund, raising, donating and taking part in america's 2020. alexion. things are changing. the winds of change having only been in politics that major league baseball got in the action . there. miami, miami, marlins announced on friday that kimmy would be the team's general manager. she's the 1st woman to hold the position in the a male beat. from her home beginnings as an intern for the chicago white sox in 1990, just kept climbing with 30 years of baseball experience. she now joins an elite previously all male group of g.m. . joining us now to shed more light on this story is our team sports producer regina hamm welcome and thank you. i have good news for wives. very modest,

very good news. good news. we all saw that nelson last week in social media was a blaze with everyone being excited over the 1st female g.m. in major league baseball history will in sports history. aside from that record breaking achievement, what do you think this means for the in they'll be and other sports that have yet to fully accept women in that type of leadership role. so nobody has already had a rough is a nice word with their coach. it impacted season, they already short 60 games. they have players who are not being protocols. are they going to press for that? you know, relative quiet things, proceed as normal. then you would a world series. you had a player test positive still played on the field. they pulled him eventually, but he was still there. so this is good press for the league, but it's also good press for a lot of young girls and young women who want to be agents who want to be scouts who want to climb the ranks. she served in the n l, the commissioner's office for the past 9 years. she has reached the echelons of what many women in sports who work on the team side in the league side only dreamed

of. and she has done so much, and she's also the 1st asian american to be in such a high position. so you now have women, minority women who are in this position. it is wonderful. she has shattered the glass ceiling in major league baseball and kim stars. and in turn, as you're sort of 30 years ago now and then rose through the ranks are definitely speaks to her determination to one day reach the level of achievement that she now has. what do you think that experience across multiple sports teams and working in the different capacities that she has taught her, prepared her for this new job? and you know, i think the biggest question is why was she chosen, why did they suddenly say, you know, what? now is the time she is one of the most, she's the overqualified at this point. she has worked away. like you said at the intersection of white sox, she was an assistant at 29 in 1908. and for the new york yankees,, she's worked with now. marlin c.e.o., derek jeter, when he was assured stop for the yankees. she has 3 world series ring. she has,

she is an impressive human being. and derek jeter sees that he is the c.e.o., of miami marlins. he's also not a stranger to hiring women. the c.e.o., caroline o'connor of the marlins is also one the highest executive in the league as well. so ms. ng joins a very accomplished group of women, but she has seen how teams work. she has been a loser, your ship position. she has gained those skills that she needs to reform as a general manager and teams have passed her over before for this i don't know why the guesses on anybody. but the fact that derek jeter has seen her rise is seen her growth. he is capitalizing on that to see her take the marlins in a brand new direction and she has earned it. and what message do you think this sends to women and girls? this is such a monumental moment and we've heard, you know, the year of the girl i believe was supposed to be last year, but we're seeing women continue to shatter glass ceilings across the country and across the globe. what do you think this says to all these young girls, particularly minorities, but young girls and women who are interested in sports and didn't previously fee an opening? i think i should let miss ang tell her,

tell us what she means for. so take a lesson. you know, in terms of these little girls, it means the world to me and anybody who knows me knows that i have spent countless hours advocating for young girls advocating for young women and really trying to help them advance their careers. that is something that is just so important to me. and so now having this high profile position, you know where you're out in public more and, you know, girls can see is, i mean there's an adage you can't be if you can't see it. i guess i would suggest to them now, now you can see that she's absolutely right. you can see it. she is the face of general management for the marlins and there's other women, not necessarily in the leadership positions. but in coaching, if you see becky hammon in the n.b.a. for the spurs, she is a name to watch. she is overdue for, a head coach position in the n.b.a. and the n.b.a.

is already a very progressive league to begin with. so it's kind of surprising this that didn't happen before this did, but you know, progress, and we seem to see it, you know, women break the n.f.l. sidelines as well in recent years to. one thing i want to ask though, is with the marlins looking at this team that she's now the g.m. of. what kind of situation is she walking into? is this a team that's like just built for success and she's going to write about or is she got to make? is there a lot of hurdles that come with this job or like if you're a perennial viewer of the n.l. east, you will see the marlins are not usually contenders for the title. however, the 60 game season that we had just had proved otherwise. granted, if it was a fluke, we don't now, but there's a lot of rebuilding there in your 3 buildings. a lot of work to do. ok, so it's going to be a challenge. it's going to ok. well, it was a great, thank you so much for coming out and bringing us this great news about what's happened in major league baseball. really just so much. all right, as we go to break one of the, you can also still watching the hawks on the mound of the brand new portable t.v. . coming up, we enter the world of hard boiled detective. the war as author georgetown professor

chris chambers joins us to discuss his new book, scavenger. you do not want to miss this. trust me. stay tuned. and watch during the vietnam war, u.s. forces there in the house. it was a secret war. and for years, the american people did not know how much it is the case. they can rebound country, per capita human history. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives

in this small agricultural country, jordyn wieber. even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago, is the u.s. making amends for that tragedy and what help to the people need in that little land on the maltese falcon through double indemnity from raymond chandler. dashiell hammett on 3 ball garden, easy rawlins, the history of noir, both in film and literature here in the united states of america is both rich and deep. the reason behind this lies mainly in the fact that not only does the new genre of storytelling give its readers and viewers a gripping vibrant mystery and adventure story. but it also allows its authors and creators, much like their anti-hero protagonists,

the chance to pull back the curtain on all the glitz and glamor here in the land of the free and reveal the dark twisted underbelly lying just just below the surface. often giving us a far more elegant, brutal, and honest look into the twisted soul of the american landscape and experience than any historian could dream of. capturing this year, author georgetown, professor and friend of the show chris chambers released into the world of noir fiction. his new book scavenger,, which takes takes place on the stone and marble streets of washington, d.c., and features of a biting takedown of the nation's capital. through the eyes of its homeless survivor and sleuth dickie cornish professor chamber joins us now to discuss his new book. thank you, chris. always a pleasure. ray. thank you. so of course i got to start right out the gate. what was the inspiration for this new book that you, you know, what got you to sit down and say, you know what, i need to write this story about washington d.c.

and this, and this homeless man living in it and the adventure that he embarks on it worths, i mean, i did my spiritual, creative godfather with george writing about it about the when the curtain on real need for, a long time and now he's going to show runner movie producer for h.b.o., you know, the wire, etc. and i wanted to do something in my also, you know, walking the streets to me to really united people like you were destroying every corner. and when you talk to them, they all have that story. and their stories are, you know, barry white, you know, it's not about failure and cruelty and a lack of character. wanted to do white to that. and that's, you know, best of the nutshell, basically because this city,

what if you've gone from the highest loans to the, gone from, you know, the trump year use back to the obama years, even, you know, even before that not what's going to happen in the future. but a constant is the failure to address what's going on, you know, right in front of our eyes. and i just, you know, to give, you know, crime fiction gives us the opportunity to do that. i mean, a lot of that stuff was born in the populist. you know, that some people said, bolshevik writings of the thirty's. that's when you know dutch will have it. and all those guys of people call them or not, and probably, you know, they really were, but that's where the stuff started just there are hundreds of, well is this group is to expose this, this underbelly and they were, they were attacked as communists by people like james, your hoover. wow. according to jr edgar hoover,

most people were coming to crist. one of the many important things you cover in your book is the ongoing gentrification of washington d.c. . it's historically black neighborhoods businesses and communities. how devastating has this been to the community and what that a theme you set out to cover from the start or did it kind of organically originate who were writing a story? for so little both. i wanted to show what was going on, the lowest possible stretta, and i know that strata is that is to be a derogatory term, going through layers of society. but you know, the best strata of home with people who are addicts, people to try to scratch by. they're able to look up and see all of the, you know, what is the boat. but even some people, what might be the working poor of might not be able to see because everybody is so so fixated on on, on, on, on their own area. and i wanted that show just how dislocating it could be

to these people as observer because, you know, they see it all, they see the good in the bad. i mean, there or read with dislocation of the black community in this city has given rise to a lot of it. that's total behavior by all, but black people towards other black people and the whole with people are at the receiving end of that. a lot of so it gives you an idea, you know what the pathology is, what the cycle, but the physical fall of the is when you do the troops that trauma into a neighborhood. you know, one of the interesting things too, i like about your book is the setting comes out so vibrantly. and why do you think the nation's capital here washington d.c. is such a great place for what essentially is a detective story, especially now in the age of trump and then coming into the age of buying them. i mean, remember a lot of the great classics of them are, you know,

they were based coming out of world war 2 and the trauma from that, you know, why is d.c. such a perfect setting? now d.c. is allegory for a lot of the mare power and money power and money. and it also means to live theater and we're all it used to be like there was an age of robert and it could be senator that's going out the window now. because this is personal, racial, social and you know, all of that, new york, new york you know, new orleans, but a laboratory ready to go there and

show them the some of the love and money and power it is pretty can credible when you think about it because it is, as you pointed out, it is where there we are, the nation's capital, and yet we have one of the big, almost populations in this country. we have, you know, some of the biggest transportation taking place in this country. and just so people understand why is that, you know, the influx of well as misha's, talking earlier with like the influx of, you know, stores and big box retailers and things like that. coming in the neighborhoods. how does that actually hurt of neighborhood? and then hurt a city and hurt a culture. well, i mean you can see it in the book with him going to looking up and then you. and then he's, you know, part of eat or to be trouble. you know, clean it up if you will be troubled and, and, you know, made him

a danger. but you see around him the, you know, the people who will be helped by this aren't me hell. but people were going to be enjoying it, which was, you know, the kind of hipster culture that's pretty hollow as well. and a number of these, these, these, these worlds interests set nobody to get anything out of at least the very rich, the earth. and the politicians who are, you know, we're going to control of all of this kind of marionette. so you know, even the people we're moving in used to be important and new, you know, $1000000.00 or with our not getting out of it what they're getting out of it. so everybody is basically being rude to me and that war crime fiction. everybody's crew that. oh, that's who they're trying to take it to the people who are the screwer is that if

you love it. well, chris, i definitely recommend people talk about your book scavenger. it's an, it's a great read in a very fun read and an formative read. and that's all you can ask for some good crime fiction. thank you so much for joining us on the show today. thank you. undoubtedly, at least in my mind, the most mysterious, yet beautiful and shockingly into it. a point is that being a spy trapped studies show that this plant short term memory can last 30 seconds. when in fact touches the plant hairs that remain still, well, it least it burps. upon the 2nd touch, a carnivore plant will snap shut, catching its prey like a bear trap. scientists have long known that some players have long term memory, but the biggest lie trap is a bit different, because not only does it in 20, at least since weather patterns and seasonal changes, it also seems to adapt its memory and the fly trap does all of this without a brain or nervous system. research suggests calcium plays

a role in this. genetic engineering. scientists found that calcium is the connective tissue that unlocks the plant secrets, images of the bemis by track capture of the glow of calcium in the plants as the mineral surges when sensory hairs are activated. this wave of energy that results in the track catching its prey at record speed seems to all come down to memory adaptation driven by calcium. so calcium is not just good for bones, right? but it's apparently bad for her for being a spider traps. it's like, hey, this is how we think i look like we need to load up a workout. man, look at this things we learned. thank you. so that was well as fascinating. would you own one? would you buy one? i've what i want, and i was like buy, i haven't just got exactly what i don't know. you got no excuse. i can't keep a regular low. so i don't know about the biographical well plant feeds itself. but it's because by trevor freeze, it's alright everybody. that is our show for you today. remember in this world we are definitely not told the real love. so i tell you all i love you and i'm obese, across. keep on watching all those hawks out there and have

a great day. and later results of the u.s. election cycle surprised many. there was no blue wave, and the g.o.p. is games for all across the board. both parties have deep internal divisions,

and it is in both parties. populist challenges. this is the perfect recipe for a political deal, like many adopt a controversial new bill, beefing up the contents, knock down power as thousands on out in force, putting it unconstitutional as protests turned violent in central. meanwhile, violence on the streets of paris to frog's to pay the bill to find a publishing images of police tend to hauling up on the wall down to doping agency,, playoff. the u.s. the double standard.
