is are becoming more and more frequent the head of the f. b. i liken them to 911 and one us official said all options are on the table when it comes to possible retaliation. we'll talk about it. and did you happen to catch donald trump's speech on saturday night? well, if you tried to watch it on the cable networks, you probably didn't have much success. but he had a lot to say, well, let you hear some of it and bring you some big news that donald trump made this morning. steve gruber will join us for all of it. meanwhile, west virginia democrat, senator joe mansion now says not only will the defend the filibuster, and he will vote for the democrats bill, which is called for the people. and that's a bill on voting. so they're not happy on the democrats side about that. and did you hear about the 2 new york times reporters who had their phone record seized by the government? the political panel is here to discuss. hello everyone, i'm steve malls berg in for scotty. no use on today's edition of news views use right here on our

t america. ah . all right, folks meet suppliers, oil pipelines in new york city transit system. they've all been recent victims of cyber attacks and regulators are warning that brokerage accounts are now at risk. so how will the united states respond? joining me now is todd shipley, cybersecurity expert, and president of dark intel. welcome sir, and let me, let me 1st start with the breaking news of the day, which took place about an hour ago, u. s. and investigators. they've recovered about $2300000.00 in crypto currency, which was paid as a ransom to the cyber crime group responsible for the attack that shut down the colonial pipeline last month. this is according to the justice department, so they explain how significant this is and how they might have gone about doing it . well,

it is significant in the fact that they are able to find it where it went. and they obviously were tracing the crypt currency from one place to another, which is fairly perfunctory to do because bitcoin is an open block chain where every record is written. so you can track where it goes. so it went to someplace that they were able to serve legal process on and be able to get into that account and turn the count over to the government. so the bad guys made some mistakes because they didn't move their money fast enough and hide it from the government. well enough. well, let's hope a lot more of them make the same mistake. ok, well in addition to what i mentioned at the top intro and you, you can add to the list of attacks that have occurred the one over the weekend that the disrupted servers for a martha's vineyard ferry on cape cod. but these are nothing. these attacks compared to what can happen. so my questions to you are what's your greatest realistic fear? and do you agree with that b? i director chris re when he says that ransomware and that threat is the threat

comparable to 911? well, the 1st part, what's my fear is this is gonna be an ongoing problem that doesn't get solved easily. because the issue becomes people's a, you know, inability does not click on something and their inability to not open that email or the attachment, an email that allows these bad guys in. now as far as direct res, comment about this being the 911 of a cyber kind of thing. i disagree. totally. i mean, this is more like, you know, the death by a 1000 cuts analogy because this has been ongoing for some time. this isn't a one time attack. i mean, we've forgotten what happened to atlanta just a few years ago in a number of a small agencies that have been attacked, hundreds of them over the past few years. so this is an ongoing problem. we have to look at how we're going to the legislature some control over how infrastructure protection is done in the cyberspace area. i want to jump ahead,

keep, keep, keep that question in there. but how did we get to this point? i mean, i used to talk about this on my radio shows back in 2010, 2011, and speak to some congress been talking about, you know, where we're looking into protecting the grid. i'm sure the grid might keep you up at night what they could do to the grid. god forbid, millions of people could die if they ever took down the power grid. so my question is, how did we get here? and realistically, how to, how do we get out of it? well, i mean that's, that's a good question. if we knew the answer we had solve it. but part of the problem is just like any, you know, kidnapping situation where we take the, the tact of not pain the ransom demand, we have to stop paying the ransom demand. these insurance companies that are paying these companies for back for the ransom are part of the problem. if you're going to pay for it, we don't solve anything. and so we have to start taking a harder look at how we get around some of these ransom attacks. and part of the

technology issue, part of it is taking good right now and i hate to interrupt, i get it right. i do want to get this in though much has been made about the fact that gina raymundo was asked on a b c this week yesterday. what the us response might be to those attacks that would be severe and would include a military response, and our commerce secretary said, all options are on the table, do you put much stock in a and a possible military response to a cyber attack? well, if, if it's a nation state, certainly, but the problem is, these aren't nation states doing these things. these are organized criminals that live in countries that we don't have a good cooperation with. that's the problem. so we have to do some negotiation. we have to get some legal methods to get into these countries and we have to negotiate with these countries that we're not doing a good job with now and haven't for several administrations finding out where these

people are and going after them from a legal perspective. and that's the only where we go. effort. well, you know, this is not going to be a military operation. we're, we're an attack somebody with a missile. not now because it's not a nation that's doing this. it's criminals. right? right. are you know, i'm sure scottie, i will speak to you again on this and hopefully we can find a way out. thank you very much for your time, sir. you're welcome. ok folks. so recent victory for the 2nd amendment in one of the lease place, the expected california several gun rights groups banded together in a law suit winning over a federal judge in the golden state. but of course, it doesn't come without controversy and are to correspond that natasha suite has more on a 32 year ban on assault rifles getting overturned california, it may be known for being blue, but it doesn't mean there aren't pockets of right all throughout the state. and this latest ruling from a federal judge returning

a 32 year ban on what's considered to be assault rifles with lifted, making that notion even clearer for someone who hears of gun violence and the headlines can help it think something like one of these rifles is intimidating, scary and deadly, but according to the specific research center, the majority of murders are committed with hand guns. not long guns, and gun owners would argue most to own firearms abide by the law and only want them as a means of personal protection. and as a last resort of the platinum, in the case, james miller of san diego says he applauded the judge and actually taking the time to physically see what a so called a thought rifle. in fact looks like. and that was very enlightening. and i don't believe that the department of justice, california attorneys were very happy that he actually took the time to see what a r 15 actually looked like. and how it came apart after a gunman kills 5 children and stopped him back in 1089. the sale of more than 50 gun models were banned. but according to judge roger bernita of the us district court for the southern district of california, it's unconstitutional. and failed experiment. these firearms are semi automatic and

work the same way as current legal guns do. they are not automatic machine gun current governor given new some opposed to ruling saying it's a direct threat to public safety. the judge granted a 30 day stay allowing for the states attorney general a chance to appeal it. now, miller says he believes this ruin will survive and appeal. in addition to the us constitution, he points to a former, in court case hello versus the district of columbia, which was upheld in 2008. however, even with this rule in california still has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation are putting for new subconscious sweets, r t r. thank you, natasha. we'll keep an eye on what the courts do with that been overturned, and donald trump gave a big speech on saturday. we'll be back with some of what he said. don't go away when our church seemed wrong. when all just don't the

rules. yes. to see out, the thing becomes the after an engagement equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart and we choose to look for common ground. one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas, where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v n p d really is. and now it's part of the spin machine to the american public barely remember that it happened just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demik hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have

a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the biggest residents to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people. why is going to be saved if they were to take an action? absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. the the, the, the, the former president donald trump gave the keynote address at the north carolina republican party convention dinner on saturday night. here's some of what he had to say. and if you don't have strong borders, our country can be run like a dictatorship. and that's what they'd like to do. i don't even think biden is the

dictator if anybody knows who the hell is running, that operation figure, let us know, cuz i don't think it's joe, but who knows? maybe it is. they want to silence you. they want to silence your voice. remember, i am not the one trying to undermine american democracy. i'm the one that's trying to save it. please remember. all right, joining us to discuss the big event is talk show steve group or steve. good to see you again. my friend, i thought that the trump was a bit more subdued than in the past. maybe the venue was smaller obviously. so you know, it wasn't a big, huge rally outdoors, but he spoke for almost an hour and a half. what was your take on it? where he is back on the spotlight for the 1st time since rally is of course, back in 2020. he's got more coming up and you know, he's going to be speaking of a pack of and coming up here in just a couple of weeks in july. so you've got a lot going on. you know, he covered a lot of territory. he talked about borders,

which we just heard there, but he talked about the pandemic at length as well. he basically says that joe biden failing the country on the pandemic, not holding the chinese accountable. and he called for reparations from the chinese, which is pretty tough. talk, i think it's important. he also focused on his success with operation warp speed, getting the vaccines out and some other places that he thought were obviously important. and then of course, as you mentioned a moment ago, steam the economic challenges in america right now, whether it's gasoline or lumber, or houses or cars, everything is going through the roof or having inflation like we haven't seen since jimmy carter was an office back in the late seventies, in the idea, 8081. so there are a lot of things that donald trump can talk to and say, look, we are in far better shape, not to mention the last 2 jobs reports deeply disappoint you. told a 1000000 jobs. what happened in april they got 266000 the last time they had 650000. they didn't make $600.00. yeah. so come now i did the problems. yeah. yeah, absolutely correct. all right, so you know, if you try to watch it on cable and you to,

into fox news. it wasn't there away in news max, i know c span covered the speech, but fox knows didn't. what does this say they, what would jesse water show instead? are you surprised at what does it say to you? what i just tells me that the kids are in charge of the plays rupert's not in charge anymore. you know, lack when the boys are in charge. now, the boys cause a little bit different, but here's, who should have put it on cnn. an m s m b c. their ratings have gone down the to see, and i would have done themselves a big favor. there's 75 percent off of ratings here, steve. i mean, see eventually yeah, don't carry the speech. we'll talk about it. we'll break it down there. got lots of yours for the 1st time since last year. absolutely correct, absolutely correct. now, the big news to me came today when trump was on the fox business channel, would still varney and he was asked about a new running mate for 2024 watch. would you consider rhonda santis,

governor of florida as you're running nice? sure, i would let you know there are numerous people that are great. i would certainly consider ron, i was i was at the beginning of run. i was the 1st one to endorse him when he came out as a congressman. i so by my pen. well, you know, i meant there's a lot of nonsense here. let's be honest. my parents was the most lice president. he was always an message. he was always supporting donald trump. but the true believers, if you will, are still disappointed my parents for what went on the capital on him, not standing up to try to stop the electoral college of going through and, and you know, and when you're putting together a package, you have to sell that package and a lot of to trump support is that i disappoint with my parents. i think that's too bad. i think my parents acquitted himself quite well as a vice president. but let's not kid. i was no, there are rhonda sanchez, either. everything that conservatives want, he's doing. he's

a going after the funding sanctuary. cities, he's protecting schools with no critical race. very education. he is going after big you can't the platform. people run the samples hitting every node properly. every. what even rans, athletes? yeah. even try trans girls in sports that look a lot. there are some people i talked to that say i wish trump wouldn't run and would endorse rhonda santas, we'll wait and see steve. good to talk to you. my friend. thank you. thank you. all right, folks, west virginia, democrat, senator joe manchin has been the target of both the liberal media and his democratic colleagues for maintaining his independence and not showing a willingness to do away with the senate filibuster. well, if you thought they were angry before, wait till they read this op ed penned by mansion yesterday in the west for ginia gazette, he writes, i believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakened bonds of our democracy. and for that reason i will vote against before the people act.

furthermore, i will not bow to weaken or eliminate the filibuster. i will vote to represent the people of west virginia to seek bipartisan compromise. no matter how difficult and to develop the political bonds that end divisions in help unite the country, re love. wow. a 12 punch to the democratic party and the biden agenda. joining me now is the political panel. we welcome in talk radio hosts and civil rights attorney robert patillo, along with ed martin who is the president of the phil is shaft. lee egos, gentlemen, welcome both of the robert r mansions, actions and words, most admirable. oh, absolutely. i think the joe mentioned did a big favor for democrats, because frankly, democrats were fighting the last war. they were fighting the war of the last century. donald trump made it very clear. there's no longer about who vote to about who's counting the votes. this is why they went after my secretary of state reference burger. this is why you think the voting with dissolution round the country less so going after voters and more so going after who counts

a vote. what we've seen as republicans will not one of the popular vote in 17 years . they've won one time the last 32 years. in fact, the 50 republican senators represent 41000000 people vote or american american citizens that the 50 democratic senators. so republicans don't care about getting most vote. they care about making sure they can read about the before the people that was meant to fight the last war. the war we were fighting a decade ago. this gives the congress opportunity to do here to go back and rework it in fight a fight the new battle. ok, well ed, i know you have a different view. certainly the whole by an agenda basically just went up and smoke . yeah, look, i mean, i did a little talk earlier today. i said it's prime minister joe mansion right, like joe mansion is in charge of the country. and i disagree with my colleague here . i think the constitution is and the electoral college and how we have the number of states we have all done very carefully and look, mansion mansions, a survivor,

people don't realize these 2 terms as a governor to terms. now i think it's 2 terms of the center. his constituency are more conservative. he's he wants to succeed there, but you know, the other thing he said this morning, a one right back out on the talk shows, i think it was today. and he said, we're looking at the infrastructure deal. remember how senator byrd got every single road from like here tow? hi. oh, made in his name, your buildings and all mansions about to do that with the infrastructure package, and i think he understands one last thing. there are probably 8 or 9 democrats in the senate. democrats, senators, who don't want to go with s one or h r. one and don't want to break the filibuster and they're happy to have him out there. the. that club house to 100 members, both parties by the way, very insular, very taken care of each other. so look, i think mansions in charge and we should all just see whatever he wants. we're probably see coming. he's taking the heat for the the others. now robert, i've heard many democrats attack mansion for standing up for what he believes in. are you concerned, and should they be concerned that mansion will either switch and become

a republican or declare himself an independent caucus with the the g o. p a. raising the democratic majority. i think their navel gazing on the part of conservative who saw this last year was democrats when they thought mitt romney or susan collins or moved from or cowski with which parties. and it's not going to happen. and frankly, democrats attacking joe mentioned help your mansion and what's for ginia, and he's the only democrat perhaps on the planet earth that can hold the seat down . i said, i think joe mentioned provide cover for other conservative democrats. you don't want to go along the los lation and he noticed that in his political benefit to be a gift from any of these progressive causes. and what about the, the, the scenario i present? yeah. realist possibility. i think, i think look, what's realistic is when it's 5050. mitch mcconnell is giving a speech saying the only thing worse than being 5149 is having 5050. you know, he's basically, mitch mcconnell is also in charge to things that observe, watch the health of the senior senators as a bunch of them. and the 2nd thing is,

what about justice stevens? he could retire at the end of the term in 2 weeks. and you want to see a war now, he said he won't, you know, there's no indication he will. but if he did, it would be quite a thing with joe mentioned in charge. oh, it would be unbelievable if you think you've seen supreme court battles justices in the past. you're right on target with that. like for both of you now, there's a very important story involving the government and the press and we're learning about today. the justice department, both on the president trump and under president biden, for a while, worked with google to spy on the e mails of for new york times reporters. i want you to watch our to correspond that john hardy. he's here with more and how the biden ministration is now trying to distance itself from these actions. it's still unclear why the department of justice was secretly investigating for new york times reporters. it likely had to do with stories the times published. now possibly the f b, i investigation into 2016 election meddling, whatever the case, the d o j had

a gag order on the times preventing it from reporting about the secret legal battle underway, but that gag order was lifted. and now the story is coming out, the times reports the trump administration, and 2020 secretly seized months of the for reporters phone records from early 2017, and goes on to write that the d o j, under the biden administration, quote, continued, waging the fight this year, telling a handful of times executives about it, but imposing a gag order to shield it from public view. new york times executive editor deemed a cat set in a statement. the justice department relentlessly pursued the identity of sources for coverage that was clearly in the public interest in the final 15 days of the trump administration. and the biden administration continued to pursue it. as i said before, it profoundly undermines press freedom. anthony colea d. j spokesperson said the quote bite, an air of justice department voluntarily moved to withdraw the order before any

records were produced. the department strongly values a free and independent press and as committed to upholding the 1st amendment. white house press secretary jens khaki said no one at the white house was aware of the gag order until this past friday night. and president biden has sent on the record . he would not allow the d o j under his watch to seize the phone records or e mails of any reporter. so that raises the question about what president biden knew. and when about this d o. j times investigation for news news, news, john, honey. all right, thank you john guys, i don't want to be rude here, ed, i really don't, but i do not find did hard to believe that joe biden didn't know anything about this until friday, and i also would believe that, you know, he may still know nothing about it and he was, you know, his people just did what they did and telling the d o j to, to, to cool it now,

to me, bite and being out of the loop is not surprising what's what, what you, what do you think about that? i think you're right except i would just say the tracker again, by the way steve, let me clean up sub and i said justice stevens before i meant justice. steven briar, he's the one that would retire. right. yeah. and i was, i was too excited about mansion, maybe switching. sorry, i know, look, the only thing i'd say about by not being in the loop is he doesn't have to be in the loop when he's got his henchmen, susan rice down the hall, doing this stuff. remember sitting in the room, it was vitamin rice with obama, and struck and then mccabe. i think it was saying, yeah, go after a flip with the logan act. let's try that one. right. this is not these people are accustomed to power. what obama taught us his administration 8 years is they'll be ruthless. and by the way, i want to join the chorus republican. i am the, the truck ministration. should have been doing this to journalists. we have a problem of government bullying. but obama was one of the worst, isn't ministration had targeting journalists and prosecuting leaguers?

you know, and by the way, we still have the snowden fiasco. we still have no leadership on a song in this country from both parties. so joe barton didn't have to know he could just signal to his people to keep doing the stuff they're doing. and i'm sure they'll continue it whether they deny it now or not. hi, robert, whether or not by new is kind of an ancillary to an extent. what's your take? let's get back to the crux of the story and the government going after journalists, they, you know, it's supposedly it was all part of a leak investigation. something to do with the way that the former f b i director handled the way he investigated hillary clinton. you know, it's kind of blurry to an extent. but are there any circumstances in your mind, robert, where the, the government can clamp down on journalists, or should clamp down on journalists? absolutely not. i think this is the point where we have to have some bipartisan

agreement and legislative to make sure we can bring in a real, in real, in the federal government. because i don't think any of us what a deep state that was able to go after journals go after their sources. the prosecute journalists were reporting the news. that was how you end up in communist china. that's an end up behind the iron curtain. and we really do want to depend on liberty and justice and we believe on as americans, whether joe biden, donald trump, or richard nick. and we have to depend the offended and freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government over region as clear government overreach. but she can of course, the obama administration did some of this with the press as well. james rosen comes to mind that news, and of course, journalists have gone to jail for not revealing sources when they've been asked to reveal sources. judith miller, who i have spoken to many times comes to mind there. but what do you make of this? this situation again, from a, from a standpoint of the government trying to get information on these journalists. well,

it's more troubling and steve, and i think as soon as i say that you're going to agree. but i did a stint of cnn. and when i was at sienna and i used to run into clapper in the green room, and if you go over to m b, m s, m, b, c, you run into brandon on, on scott and joe scarborough. you have a revolving door that goes out of our senior intelligence into the paid media and they're in, they're spinning and lying and misleading. and so it's not the leaks that matter. it's that the obama administration already administration is going to punish leakers who aren't in the direction they want. how brandon and clapper, who are both ly misled america, and frankly use their intelligence clearance to talk about things that were patently untrue, how they are not at least ostracized, if not indicted is beyond me. but now i'm going to complain about leakers. these guys are paid leakers destroying the country, and so armina is implicit, they're not, they're not. and of course, of course, they were stations that one or both of those gentlemen may have lied on their road, but that will never be dry acadia. unfortunately, gentlemen,

thank you both so much. i appreciate your time and that's it for now or thank you for joining me tonight on news news use. you could catch me on the press right here on our t america friday night at 6 30 pm eastern time. and any time you can watch this show and more on affordable tv app, download the app before well from your apple store or your android device today. the next time right here, news, news, news, news. one of the persian gulf, the wealthiest country is, has spent billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. wow, look up this. this data was really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now, when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just the foundation in

a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego the, for the 1st time in a world history, the stadium will be billed from shipping containers and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the turn in the me i

lose me as a career professionals, bolt is much tougher on some than others year old myer by everybody. so why would somebody believe me, i was just a little girl. the price paid to, to, to achieve really was was how to read in the paper this morning. usa swimming coach, arrested, allegedly had sex with a 12 year old girl. this happens almost every week. we get calls at the office, i get informed about one of my greatest fears is someone's going to start linking all this together. there's going to be a 60 minute documentary about youth coaches in sports like gymnastics swimming. is that documentary?

see it on our team. the headlines here on our team american investigated recover millions of dollars paid to hackers who would talk to a major us pipeline operator. last month. the breach was being widely blamed on moscow running out the anti rush rhetoric ahead of the food in by the summit. next week, the activity in the u. k. a warning foreign property investors to avoid buying in britain, they being offered worthless and unsafe real estate. some covered in the kind of plotting that led to the red unfilled tower tragedy. the video of an american father and daughter speaking out against a critical race theory has gone viral, getting 2000000 views on twitter becomes a bit lower going debate in the us about the role of c, r t and education and politics. now we treat people with based on.
