well, i mean some of these but i would envelop down the legacy of the local was just this and like, oh, well just like you would, you are leaning. there's just a little bit you wish to look at the face of the issue that you know, would you care for greetings and sell you sold just and then just slicing some pineapple. swipe into 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. the journalist working over a motherboard of a covered 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 little m 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. air force general zone jack the ripper. knowing that i can't hang my bedroom shelves straight. yes. 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 ileana, 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 like to see the prizes. you always stay on see you mass graves. see this least systemic deception is that the late show which would be so when the joke as well going one to watch i robot and i'm a crop, 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 has 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 that have ultimately 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, they're 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 and i can 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, but 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 and other metadata the 1st, they 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, one of the sume with their counterterrorism activities. but they're still, you know, they obviously because everything is 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. 'd right there starts with the up the location data sent to like something like x. mode of 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 up to use nap and worry about who is be with 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 that it is not happening, but 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 kind of mentioned, like how can we sit and point the finger at them and say, how dare you compile all your so there's some stuff when, well, guess what? we're doing it to, you know, millions of people around the world, including and 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 it was discovered something data. the x. mode included a map 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 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 later $50000000.00 times in android and 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 kamel harris to the record breaking amount of women voting fundraising, 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 . they miami, miami, marlins announced on friday that kimmy would be between general manager. she's the 1st woman to hold the position in the male beat for more humble 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 ship more light on this story is our team sports producer regina hamm welcome and thank you. i have good news for wives. very nice, very good news. good news. where regina, 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. well, 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 shorten 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 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 is wonderful. she has shattered the glass ceiling in major league baseball, kim starters, and in turn as a 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 white sox, she was an assistant g.m.,

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 in the high c. male 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 sick shit position. she has gained those skills that she needs to reform as a general manager and team to pass 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, if she has earned it. and what message do you think that 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 minority girls, but young girls and women who are interested in sports and didn't previously for the opening? i think i should let miss ang tell her, tell us what she means 1st. so take a listen, 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 it and 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 ride that or she got to make it? 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 to ok. well, i'm going to thank you so much for coming out and bringing us this great news about what's happening, 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 to the brand new portable t.v., which is available on all platforms. coming up, we enter the world of hard boiled detective, but war as author georgetown professor chris chambers, georges, to discuss his new book, scavenger if you do not want to trust me, stay to watch join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics, sport, i'm sure. i'll see you then. now in the post-mortem, how did you major political parties changed in this election cycle?

joe biden maintaining weekend, and biden democratic coalition. is there such a thing as trump is? did he change the g.o.p. or did the g.o.p. change? then what by wagon that he will go back and look away. or you will pull you out of the mouth and say what about and i didn't if it was, but the good is it, that's the house on a few days that are done or done that you'd be among the it's a good thing in the number of them have that them and the money on his i'm not bad with

them, but oh, november date. if i say i give them their identity like that about on a number that i have. and it is about from the maltese falcon to double indemnity from raymond chandler, dashiell, hammett, 3, bogart, and easy rawlins, the history of noir, both in film and literature 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, an 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 glamour 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 on georgetown, professor and friend of the show, chris chambers released into the world of noir fiction. in his new book scavenger,, which takes takes place on the stone and marble time streets of washington, d.c., and features 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. thank you. so chris, i got to stop right out the gate. what was the inspiration for this new book? that you, you know what, what got you to sit down and say, i ought, 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 to

me. and i had my spiritual creative george who had been writing about crime fiction about that he went back the curtain on the real needs for a long time. and now he's doing a show rather than movie producers. working on the wire. and i wanted to do something in but i also just, you know, walking the streets to me, throwing us a neighborhood like the weren't sure on every corner. and when you talk to them, they all have a story. and their stories are, you know, very poignant. it is not about failure and crime in the life of jared or i want you life to that. and that's, you know, that's the nutshell basically because the city would be gone from the highs the lows, the gone from, you know, the years back to the obama years, even, you know,

even before that never going to happen in the future. but the constant is the failure to address what's going on, you know, right from tomorrow. and i just don't again, you know, crime fiction gives us the opportunity to do that. i mean, a lot of that stuff was born in the populous you know, some people watch of a writing of the 30. that's when you know dashiell hammett and all those guys people call them all probably, you know, they really weren't, 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. wow. according to jr edgar hoover, most people were coming to chris. one of the many important things you cover in your book is the ongoing gentrification of washington d.c.

has 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? also a little both. i wanted to show what was going on, the lowest possible stretch, and i know that strata is that, is that to be a derogatory term, going through layers of society. but you know, that's strata. home with people attics of people trying 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 going 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 and the near or dislocation of the black community in this city. has given rise to a lot of it that's going to behavior by 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 puts all of the physical football of the is on. when you do the troops that trauma into a neighborhood, you know, one of the interesting things too, i like to buy your book is set in 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 also we are a little 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 you know, this is personal, racial, social and, you know, all of that, new york, new york, brooklyn you know, new orleans, but a laboratory really need to go there and show the some of the love and money and

power it is part of can credibly when you think about it, because as you pointed out, it is we're, there we are, the nation's capital. and you know, we have one of the big homeless populations in this country. we have some of the biggest gentrification taking place in this country. and just so people understand why it is that the influx of, as mr. tuchman earlier with like the influx of 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 he's back. and he's, you know, part of the order has become, 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 on the glee 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 world interests set nobody to get anything out of at least the very rich, the belle of earth. and the politicians who were kind of controlling all of this kind of marionette. so you know, even the people who were movie and used to be important and knew, you know, $1000000.00 or how they are not getting out of it, what they're getting out of that. so everybody is basically being rude to me and that that's a war crime fiction. everybody is the truth. that's who they're trying to take it to. the people who are the screwer is that you have will 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 an insect touches the planet's hairs, it remains still well, at least it bursts upon the 2nd touch, the carnivore plant will snap shut, catching its prey like a bear trap. scientists have long known that some plants have long term memory, but the venus flytrap 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 be misapplied trap

captures the glow of calcium in the plants as the mineral surges when sensory hairs are activated. this wave of energy that was all to 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 died for her for her being a spy traps. it's like, hey, this is how we look like we need to load up on workouts. man, look at the things we've learned. thank you. so that was fascinating. that was back with you on one. would you buy one? i've what i wanted. 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 clean a la. i don't know about the bible well, feeds itself, but it's because by travel frees us up. all right, everybody, that is our show for you to remember in this world we are definitely not told the real love. so i tell you all i love you. i roll hunter and i'm obese, across. keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and night, but it

is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led? by what is true, what's his face in the world corrupted. you need to descend to join us in the death or inmate in the shallowness.
