it did not take long drug trade from afghanistan to start flowing as indian official sees a multi $1000000000.00 shipment of harold. we will bring you the details and what the country in the area are doing to try and stop. also from afghanistan, the taliban has appointed a un wrapped united nation, but should they actually be allowed to join the body? one portly, address the general assembly in there, the i showed us domestic terrorism investigation by the organization have more than double. exactly sure. they investigated, our expert shed, some light on who can be considered a domestic terrorist these day. and boeing has announced their intention to build the 1st advanced facility outside of the united states. we will tell you where and if it has anything to do with the continued hammering, the company is getting from us investigators. i'm gonna email you the stories and more on today's news views right here on our tea america. let's get started.
1:31 am
ah, member countries of the russian organized collective security a treaty organization have agreed to deploy troops along the tajikistan and afghan . stan border all to help the threats from terrorism, illegal immigration, and to stop drug trafficking. and this is all on the heels of india's biggest drug bus to date. seizing a 3 tons of hair when valued to be around $2700000000.00, which originated, i can't stand following the taliban take over just a few weeks ago. now the director of revenue intelligence, which is india, the top anti smuggling agency, received intelligence saying 2 containers at the month report and the western estate of the charlotte had c received the containers, which had been declared as semi process of talk stones from afghanistan. we're going to work seed on september 15th to people have been arrested and the drugs
1:32 am
were set you were supposed to be headed to new delhi. to discuss this latest side effect of the chaos and i can't stand. and what is being done about it. we ran tom norton after some war veteran and president of the michigan conservative union. thank you so much for joining me tom. these rooms on on are ok. so this is no surprise, but let's kind of just bring this into perspective. how big was the drug trade in afghanistan? prior to the u. s. withdrawal compared to where we see a just a few weeks later? well, the piano stand, withdraw the drug trade, the united states military. it's been a lot of time making sure that they weren't shipping drugs outside of the country. i mean, 2700000000 speaks for itself. that's a failure that happened with the piano stand withdrawal. and as that goes to ship across the border and everything else can leads into why the taliban is going to continue. actually funneling drugs across into other countries. but this is a really big, it's a really big failure by the united states. they're not actually taking care of those poppies reserve there because that's one of their biggest revenue streams.
1:33 am
well that's, that's guess it was kind of the world's biggest elicit open kit supplier. so you knew going into this that you were already dealing with a major industry. but the taliban had come back, come out and said, actually they plan to stop it right now. but to believe them when they say that they want to regulate and that they don't want to support the trade. and they have actually strict rules against drug use themselves within their organization. i don't believe it for a minute, and i'm gonna actually tell you exactly why the within islam, infidels can be lied to in fidelity, can be mistreated and everything else for them that drug trade benefits, the taliban funds the, it's something that can actually fund their military so shipping it out to actually poison people in india, the united states, europe, they are poisoning the impotent, that it's radical islam that is the basis of the television. so for them to ship it out and somebody to die from an overdose, that's them. committing a drug jihad essentially, so they are going to actually regulated and that's
1:34 am
a complete not or why, but it's not a problem to why to the input, let's right within the grand, that's a korean that they believe. so when they come out and say this, they don't have a problem with whatever they say the crane is explicit about not lying, but it's ok to why to the input on the brand. so because of that, whatever they say is find it because they're not looking to a much another muslim country and saying that they're going to do something that they have no intention of actually doing. so for them, it's not even a problem for them to waste their own of other drugs and ship it to other countries for the, for the all the die, they actually believe that. so i don't believe for one second. neither should anybody that they're going to address their hair or when going across into another country. well, and i don't want to blind, i'm sure there are addicts within the country, but it is strict. i do believe them when they say that they don't actually encourage youth amongst a very strict rules against the use amongst their own population. i believe that to be true and where they go with it next. but also want to look at what these other
1:35 am
governments of the surrounding countries are doing. you know, on the surface government officials say they want to eliminate the drug trade. but don't they also find it too profitable to pass up when it comes to the reality of what's going on in the ground? well, let's look at the countries border, the pakistan iran in the 2nd stand, use back to standard the north couple. those countries are actual allies to northern country sense they're deploying groups, they're addressing the problem. they're trying to make sure they can address and security of their own country. but does anybody believe that iran has a problem with the drug trade going out? the taliban being funded? so that they can help destroy the enemies of iran. i don't think so. and pakistan is one of those countries is a little bit trickier when you look at their government has spread way to the united states. but the northern portion of pakistan especially, which makes up the majority of the taliban. it was where the taliban safe haven was for over 20 years in northern pakistan, it was never truly addressed by the pakistani government. so i don't see them
1:36 am
actually do any thing. that's why i was able to make it all the way to india before it was actually busted. well, it will be interesting to see where this, because i do believe there are countries that are very much worried about as, as i've mentioned, russia called together all the countries alignment to make sure that terrorism doesn't come from candidate that you don't have the drug trade continue, i don't think this is a surprise. i think everybody predicted this to be the question, is it? well, the united states ultimately be held responsible in the global scale saying, guess what? you created this problem and will this be a way that the us says well, maybe we need to get back involved? i hope not. tom, thanks chatting with you. thanks for chatting with me. now the taliban has appointed an african and delegate to the united nations. even though the u. n still has one in place from the previous government. now the group movement says it has alerted the un secretary general of the change, but remains to be seen what governments will actually recognize the taliban or diverse one of your guys have reports from couple the united nations now faces an
1:37 am
incredibly difficult decision because any choice that they make is fraught with political risk. the taliban argument essentially is the person that is the un representative of gab of gamma thought has no credibility because the person who appointed him the former president of kind of thought how fled the country resigned his government collapse. he is no longer recognized as the legitimate president of of got a started, any appointment that he made is now knowledge. nevertheless, recognizing the taliban now might send all the ro messages because the international community had come together in their appeal to the taliban. make any government that they formed that they announced to be inclusive, the taliban chose to chose to ignore those appeals. the guns that they announced was packed with terror released individuals in hard line islamist. no women in it, hardly any representatives of minorities. there is also the fact that if the,
1:38 am
if the taliban representative is announced to quickly, barely a month since they took over again and thought it may send the wrong message to the other millison fractions of the world. but if you take over a country with violence, violent sentences, that international recognition is sure to follow, which is something perhaps that the un and its members states don't want a message that they don't want to send out. that there is also the flip side that refusing to engage with the taliban will sideline the taliban from international markets from international politics, international funding, as well as to manage harry and assistance. it may force them to continue with exporting hair with and opium. the majority of which worldwide is, is sourced here in ghana stop. it may also encourage the taliban to, to go back and it's promises to the international community to make sure that no
1:39 am
terrorist make of data on their home. again, they may allow, i'll come back in, they may radicalize even further, but it may also worse than the humanitarian situation here. and i've got to stop, because if no one talks to the tad about this will be incredibly difficult to organize, humanitarian assistance, which is best greatly needed here. and i've got to start as for which way or when the united nations will decide, well, they have a special committee, the credentials committee, which, which decides on the sorts of dispute it is made up of russia, china, the united, live sweden as well as 5 of the nation, it is doubtful whether they'll meet before the 27th of september when the afghan representative is supposed to speak before the us. usually they, they put the they put the decision to the un general assembly for a public vote on the issue. but we will have to wait and see where the person
1:40 am
speaking for a dentist on will be the relic of the pos regime with, with little influence on the affairs or in galveston on the ground, or whether it will be a taliban representative. the representative of a movement that is still considered a terrorist organization by many countries in the world. now the director of the f . b, i justified the growth of its personnel by over 260 percent. talk about an increase to a u. s. senate panel saying the caseload for domestic violence extremist, has more than doubled. we call home growing violent extreme is, which is a reference to people here radicalized by foreign terrorist organizations and ideologies. and then domestic violence stream is who are radicalized more by everything from racial animals, all the way over to anti government anti authority. the domestic violence stream is bucket has been going up quite significantly over the last few years, which is why we're now at 2700 domestic terrorism investigations. one,
1:41 am
if you went back 2 and a half years ago, we were probably more about a 1000 other discuss the seriousness of the current situation here at home. we bring in former counterterrorism off sir andrew burke with his true thanks for joining me. i have, i'm sorry, i have to laugh at this because it's no laughing matter because this is actually deals with national security. but as we've learned these past few weeks, unfortunately, the real trouble, the real harm being done, our country is being completely ignored in most cases. so let's go back to where we're starting with on this. when did the number of domestic terrorist actually increase or did the f b, i just expand what it means to be a domestic terrorist or considered to be a part of the action? yeah, well i mean, thanks for how may i mean look, this is pretty laughable and i don't have access nor did anyone in the public to the exact case load and the number of cases they're dealing with. but they also know that the f b, i know, is that people don't have access to see that information. and this is being used as
1:42 am
a tool there. absolutely expanding what it means. and thanks ok. well we can't fit them in this pot. so let's expand what it means and then we can get the opposition and people who don't align with our values in our beliefs. and we can put them squarely in the domestic terrorism or domestic extreme as pot. and we can proceed with their investigations from there. well, and here's the thing to be, and i think this is the question, what is justifying that? is it based on just social media post or re posting? do we add, do people understand that they are in the f b i looking at if they're being looked at by the f b i that they're actually looking into them at this point. i don't know that they do, but i think that people are growing more and more concerned with what we've seen over this past year, year and a half. and how did they've kind of changed and look, this has been something that, that's been happening for a long, long time. but certainly these agencies and the democrats and the government writ large, it's become more in bold and, and how they've politicized things that you say, no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing that. now they essentially without saying it are putting it out there, showing the worlds and you, do you see people getting cracked down? like, how did you know this was happening there? they're tracking social media, they're tracking people who essentially,
1:43 am
when you boil it down, our opposition are people who are more fundamentally american and want to stick to the constitution. the core values that we've always had were not perfect, but they want to stick to that. and they see a problem with that and we should all see a problem with them and what they're doing. and then the question is, what can you do about? i mean, this is our national security. they have access to everything and they're really are drew as you know there's, there actually are real threats to, to americans and around the world as a bad people that want to hurt others for a political purpose. so who do you feel like when you watch that headlines? everything going on in the world today? who even here at home? who should american fear currently as being the most likely to cause a terrorist event in their community? well, i think it's absolutely still radical extremists from from overseas who, who maybe don't 10 people over, but inspire people here at home, who come from the same ideology, the same safe and who do not like the west do not like american that is still the biggest threat that we face 100 percent and when it's quiet and when you don't hear
1:44 am
a lot of hub about what's going on on that front at home, that's when you need to be concerned when you created a situation in afghanistan, that's more dangerous. and even bolden and empowered the taliban and their, their partners and friends and crime and in nice as k and connie's and, and all those groups you should be concerned. that's absolutely the, the biggest threat that we still face. and then if you look at home and domestically the threat we face is frankly not the militias that have been around for a while. and that's not to justify their existence or their stance. but it's to, it's, you know, look at, you know, n t, phone black lives matter to those people who have literally burned down, building, killed people and done lots of horrible things over the past near 2 years at this point. and they seem to not get any attention, but i think that the, it remains squarely on the shoulders of a radical extremist. and those proxy groups that i just mentioned, or do you know what scares me about the headlines of the passage? you know, what causes people to hate america and hate everything about the american lifestyle when you kill their children. and i have to think about those parents of the 7
1:45 am
children that were innocently married, as well as the families of the 10 that were how angry they have to be at america right now. i mean, they're asking them, i've been told you get, there's reports of some sort of financial retribution, but you know that, that, that's what i think cause terrorist right there. when you see innocent, people that are in the things that are killed, that's what makes them hate us and have no problem justifying coming after our country. that being said, what about the faith and trust in the f. b, i it used to someone to be there, i think over the years. but you look at the past couple events and you look at this recent story of the young lady that was in domestic violence and she was actually murdered. and the f. b, i didn't even find her body was actually blogger's that help find what is going to be. how do you restore that faith and trust in the people that are supposed to protect us? well, you know, unfortunately i think it's really difficult and i've always said, look we've, we've got to look at the leadership and the upper upper levels of the organization differently than the people on the ground. because whether you're talking about, if the whatever, the military for that matter,
1:46 am
you've got great people who are patriotic love, this country signed up with the right beliefs, right? intention doing the job. the problem is though it's become so politicized that you now you're seeing it with the military, with them the max back the mandate, and we've got feel operators leaving that people leaving in droves because of his purge. that's happening. and what happened is the good people leave, so it's hard to restore credibility when you can't any longer stay, well, don't worry though, the people on the ground are doing it in the right way and they're doing the right think it's gotten hard to say that now because again, a lot of the good people have left end, or they've been marginalized either way to disastrous things. so all that they, i don't know how you restore credibility to any of those organizations, the f b i in particular, well, and i'm going to give them a little bit of credit. sometimes there's the one, the organizations that when they're not when there's not a big breaking news story, they've actually done their job and they've kept that from happening. unfortunately, same time and time again that it is coming to the head. it's not usually working out well for the people through always great to chat with you. thanks so much ram. and after a short break we count on this to help protect us. if ever in
1:47 am
a car crash, what if it doesn't work and you don't realize until it's too late? we will bring you the details and what is being done when we return the oh right now, there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that is pricey and sugary and faulty and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate. me.
1:48 am
ah, me who make no, you know board is blind to tease. as emerge. we don't have authority. we don't, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. not a joke. people judgment, crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we
1:49 am
need together in the darkness for the american aeroplane manufacturer. boeing announces the construction of the 1st advanced manufacturing facility, located outside of the u. s. in queensland, australia. so to give us some insight on which type of plane will be built and why we bringing former n t s b official. jamie finch, jamie, you're going to put it half by half aeronautical expert and that segment. so i mean, on your james bond expertise on this one, this new plan will not actually be for domestic airliners, not clearly. what plan exactly. it will be belt and tell us a little bit about it. it's basically the autonomy, unmanned vehicles or aircraft. in other words, it's a drone, so it's not a little draw. these are the very large drones,
1:50 am
just getting up to almost the size of a commercial aircraft. and now, and they obviously can carry bombs and other kinds of weapons buy materials awards . but these are very advancement to advance machines that are going to be assembling in australia. the final assembly. ok. so as boeing known for having military aircraft besides just you know, planes that can be also for passengers. there's this a new kind of area that they're branching into defense and defense. whether it's one of their biggest areas of income technology, though they did it because boeing is not just but building a partial aircraft. it's been building defense aircraft in machinery. it's building a space ships and so they're very, very diversified when it comes comes to this. but this is a small. busy assembly plant, it's only going to employ about 300 people, but boeing already has a very large presence in australia with a plant that has about 3000 people,
1:51 am
or they work other where they manufacture other parts for other commercial aircraft . okay, so i've already got that. okay, so that is that the reason why you think the boeing picked australia because they already are familiar with the officials and the laws of the land? i think that's part of the read. but i think that the main reason in this particular case is because australia is the one that's buying these drones well, and you have to look at the conflicts are going on in the region right now. it china does is i play a little bit into it. i see, i think that there's, it's kind of interesting the same timing. exactly the timing of what's going on with the u. s. in china, but also with what just happened just last week with australia buying the u. s. submarines versus the french submarines which france sent france into a tailspin but the u. s. in the anglo file. countries, if you will, are really kind of locking up in unifying and locking arms for this new world that were, it was almost like australia. want to make sure they're good, both land and say, i have to think of all the issues of boeing's had over this past few years with
1:52 am
passengers and aircraft that have gone down as boeing possibly looking to start moving more into the hits. because guess what? you crash your crash machine or you don't necessarily have to deal with all everything that we're finding, growing skiing in trouble, but it is unmanned. no people on it but, but they are, are weapons that are going to be destroying a lot of things. so you know, the trade off there, but i think that in this particular case, boeing, i tried to avoid anything. but what they are doing is i will look, this is a new something else for such say you don't pay attention to all the stuff that we've that going on. so let's talk about something positive about jamie make a good james bond. thanks for joining. i think that is a tool that is the product of a growing industry whose work is under the radar and capital public. the software called a shadow dragon allows please to monitor your data from social media without a warrant right now there's just a handful police departments that are using it, but more are buying in our to turn funds. actually this how shadow dragon works.
1:53 am
now even one government entity already been using it for the past 2 years. so that one little bread crown led to an email the next day coming to me that said, hey, we got the guy. it's a new software investigators from your local police to the f b i have at their fingertips. it's a suite of tools that automates lots of different parts of the investigation process. that makes it quicker, easier, more reliable, and all in a way that forensically sam shadow dragon software that searches public information from at least a 100 social media networks. using digital clues to identify the human behind online accounts. and to visualize networks of suspected bad actors. that could soon commit a crime. you can pop in and e mail, an alias, name, phone number, a variety of different things. you can immediately have information on your target . we can see interesting, we can see your friends are, we can see pictures, videos, what is available on the platform that we find
1:54 am
a big reason why investigators love it. when the f b, i started using it, they did an evaluation and their how much backward, what used to take us 2 months and a background check or an investigation is now taking between 5 to 15. an investigator would typically go and interview a bunch of people and collect information within a very specific geographical location. crimes, now with the internet are spanning multiple countries. but shadow dragon is gaining attention. thanks to local and state police, massachusetts state police purchase the rights to the software using $150000.00 worth of grant money. from there they extend a training to 6 different cities, massachusetts state police say they are using the software, but didn't divulge when they use it. well, now more police forces are buying in like michigan state police. while there is no law either for or against police using the surveillance local governments like in
1:55 am
boston or working on one to put it in writing to both police and the people. so they know when the software will be used, what the protections are, who will be involved, and who has the thought ready to push back for news? use hughes. i'm fair in france, back from the economic hyundai, the electric tests i to a luxurious jaguar land rover problems with airbag safety is causing a federal safety agency to open an investigation or to correspond. natasha suite has more on what has officials concerned after dozens of death, the national highway traffic safety administration is conducting an investigation surrounding some $30000000.00 to cut airbags so far we know the crackdown is looking at more than 15 different automakers from ferrari, nissan, slavery forward to tesla you would safety investigators want to take a closer look at some 30000000 vehicles which could reportedly have faulty takata
1:56 am
airbag inflator, according to a government document, the national highway traffic safety administration thought for an engineering analysis friday. and i want to inspect some 30000000 us vehicles made in the years, 2001 through 2019. now this is the 1st time to cut airbags have been the center of an investigation. over the last decade, more than 67000000 to cut the airbag inflator have been recalled in the us and more than 100000000 globally. now the issue has been inflator, is attending dangerous metal fragments flying to kind of airbags have resulted in 28 best worldwide and 19 in the us. more than 400 injuries have been reported in the engineering analysis. the an h t s. a said further study is needed to assess the long term safety up. desiccated inflator of the official is referring to the drying agent. these inflator is, are equipped with. according to friday's documents, so far, none of the 3000000 cars in question have reported any ruptures in their airbags according to be in h t s a earlier in the year,
1:57 am
roughly 50000000 of the 67000000 recalled insulators were fixed agency, also saying their current investigation will require extensive information on to cut production processes and surveys of inflator in the field, reporting for new issues and hot a sweet r t. and that's all the time we have are today show, but i promise this is a conversation which will continue. so follow me on twitter at scott and hughes hash tag team and b a. and for the show more down on the portable dot tv app for apple android device. it's free, like always thanks for watching the later. ah man across the world of the search and focus bittman lowball here but me oh yeah. oh

1:59 am
which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, holla, pianos, onions, all of these came from waste brown sources. the. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so it makes sense for them to throw it out right off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it and then that person is not going to buy it. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even front ation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk
2:00 am
join me every thursday on the alex simon show, and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the stories decide nato members call for a few teams. you christina block with france warning, the political dialogue within it is non existent. that is the wrong people over a security deal between alliance members, u. s. u. k and destroyer. also to come europe's worst energy crisis in decades rattles the politicians with consume is facing a chilly winter with that fuel. but it's a familiar to with filmmakers demand that moscow pump small guy. but the way the story has captivated the nation has many wonderings.
