listen, i saw facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profit and our safety . facebook consistently resolve these conflicts in favor of its own profits. the result has been more division, more harm, more lies, more threats, and more combat. in some cases, this is a, this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills people. congress applauded hogan for coming forward, assuring they would provide legal protection if facebook tried to sue. i've brought up another point of how the tech giant is shielded from lawsuits. because right now it has this broad immunity. most of america has no idea. essentially, you can sue facebook. you have no recourse close america doesn't know about section 230 physics on research about instagram contains quotes from kids. same. i feel bad when i use instagram,

but i also feel like i can't stop. right. i, i know that one more time i spend on this, the worse i feel, but like, i just can't like that. they want the next clip. they want the next, like they, they, the dopamine in the little heads all the time. to break it all down. we bring in our $360.00 panel editor at large for salon and professor at the university of baltimore, d watkins. and steve malls, ward host of eat the press right here in our tea america. thanks for joining us today. here, natasha. so steve, given everything that has come out about facebook in the past, are you surprised about anything this form or facebook data scientist is sharing with the public? well, i mean, i kind of have mixed feelings about what she's sharing with the public. she's making it sound and by the way, i'm no fan of facebook and i think go that facebook and all the others need to be regulated. and i think they needed to be regulated back when it was obvious. and it

is obvious that they started censoring conservatives and started censoring free thought, free speech. but that aside, and i haven't heard any talk of that really come out of her mouth. maybe i missed it. but she doesn't seem too concerned about about the conservatives who have been banned for life and kicked off and suspended. but she seems to be saying that the world is, is, is that an end almost because of facebook? are she it, it sounds like she has an axe to grind. and if she does fine, but i, you know, what, what stuck out of my mind was she said that china and iran are using facebook for espionage purposes. china to spy on weavers. the muslim population that they put in concentration camps in china and iran to spy on other countries. if she knows or if there are national security risk to this country. and that's a whole nother ball game. otherwise, let's regulate them all,

but let's not over regulate them because we do want freedom of thought and we do want freedom of speech. and be as you know, these are some serious accusations that honda is bringing against facebook. do you think it could be true? the company was well aware of the platform was causing a parent harm to some teenagers and still being dishonest to the public about their findings. some of the smartest people in the world, they definitely know what date dawn date. definitely noted problems. they definitely know what we are starting to see the long term effects of social media and how damaging it can be. now that the big problem is, if you're gonna graduate it, do you have to run to way everything is going to go away. then you have to control everything. we know that social media as follow, liars, we know social media is bad information. we know social media is powerful enough to get someone to confuse people in american history. the high offices. but again,

are we going to silence people or are we going to step in his parents and mentors and teachers and coaches, and teach young people and even our peers on how fake and dangerous the sites can be a good question and seeing what do you think is the motive behind this former facebook employee copying and carrying insight, company information, and then going to the length of filing complaints with federal authorities. i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and i'll say that she had legitimate concerns in her own mind. what she saw bothered her, i mean, maybe we'll find out she was jill did, or maybe we'll find out she was not treated well, or maybe we'll find out, you know, there was a personal confrontation with somebody that didn't en, well, i don't know that. so i'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say, she's sincere and also agree to a large extent with what the said about parental responsibility. and you know, if we have kids going on a platform and it's leading them because they see

a picture of and, and it's leading them to anorexia or leading them to depression or whatever, you know, parents have a responsibility. and i'll also agree with the, when he says, you know, full of liars and misinformation. yeah. you know, he can be talking about cnn. and m s n b say, i mean the misinformation there, that top target and kill and love to go give go after black men i it was perpetuated the riots that took place over a year ago. and there's more i could list a whole number of lives in this information from some of these idiots on those cable stations. so who do i may, i should wait, steve about not everybody, not on don't nowadays. no. actually what it's like to be a teen using social media. i mean, we didn't necessarily go through that. right. well, yeah, i mean, i'd, you know, i'd, i'd fairly know what it's like to be an adult in social media,

but certainly not. no, but we're, you know, you gotta see what your kids are watching and see what your kids are doing. i mean, i know it sounds archaic and mean spirited but, and it's up to like facebook or any platform off the hook. what, you know, if it's, if it's as simple as the, well, these kids are, can't put the thing down. what parents have to say, put it down here. and now how can, has also pointed to facebook. oh, research that does amplify hate misinformation and political unrest. so deep, what's your take on those findings to speak to cnn? no. when i was patient, steve was talking about when i talk about problems with police and a way of policing to be more effective, we just saw about a dozen upon was city police officers go to jail from a range of 7 to 20 years. does not have permission to live like experience, but what i want to say is that just because we, we do subscribe to capitalism just because we do believe in a free market. it doesn't mean that we can step up and talk about some of the

problems that it, that it causes. and we didn't, we, we don't know her whole experience at face, but we don't know how much missing information there. she turned a by to why she was working there, but we do know this is an issue. so i definitely can't be any, any person who is working enough to talk about the problems that exist. but at the same time degree, the challenge is, is all, what are we going to do as people in society? are we gonna, are we going to rewrite the rules? are we going to continue to, to this and any touch on this a little bit? so do you think more censorship is going to hurt freedom of speech, especially among conservatives. well, again, this is something i've not heard address. i haven't heard a talked about today or yesterday in anticipation of today in the news media. i haven't heard of talked about by her. like i said, i didn't watch all of her testimony. so we already know that they band

conservatives a bag, conservative thought, and they then anything that they decide that they decide is misinformation and the public shouldn't have access to. so they can do all that. i just find it hard to believe that they're allowing, you know, a ran to put our national security at risk by letting them spy on us or other countries when they won't know when to when they can take down anybody they want. so i'm a little confused by it all, but something needs to be done at the very least, equal access equal, equal rights for thought and for opinion from both sides. and we've been begging for that for years. section 230 has to go and the congress never does anything. maybe now they'll do something and i'll give you a quick one of them. no, she think they gave me this should be as a company, don't you believe it should be able to operate however they want to operate in bad

whatever they want to bad, even if the bad things that you may identify with now when they have special protection from the government for that, for instance, section $230.00, if they're going to get special of co operation to protect you from the government, then they have to be fair all the way they want to take all those protections away . then let them do what they want was ellamin, and we thank you so much for your time and incite the watkins steve mouth berg. always a pleasure to have you on the british government is preparing a final billions of pounds into a new cyber warfare center. capable of attacking states that the united kingdom sees as hostile our teeth, she dea edwards dance t has the details as being described to herr, by the government in britain as a once in a generation opportunity and a real game changer and placing britain back on the map as a global lead, an influence or in terms of cyber security. in fact, it's so much of a priority for the government that it's setting aside a whopping finds

a 1000000000 pounds to set up this new headquarters for cyber warfare in the united kingdom. many eyebrows, though, raised at that amount of money, particularly during all of this time, we've seen the kind of pandemic, very difficult, a financial past 20 months, not least looking at current affairs to like the fuel shortage here in the u. k as well. so that's a huge amount of money, but the defense secretary is defending this amount of money on the move in general saying that the u. k. must be better equipped to defend itself, but also must be in a better position to lower the cyber attacks as well. some foreign states are waging cyber warfare not every single day, and we have a right on the international law and among ourselves to defend ourselves. and one of the way see could do that is to dismantle the tools that i used against you. for example, with the hostile state is using

a server to deploy ransomware against you spyware. using disinformation, he could use offensive side, but to deal with those service has been on this trajectory for some time. now, in fact, the national fiber force has been in operation. it was established since at least november of 2020, but what we do know is in the past few months now in 2021. british officials have been hinting at who these hostile states radio, namely russia and china. russia has combined military and no military means to alter the map, attempting to change the balance of power and undermining the cohesion of all societies through disinformation, russia, and china, and gaining a decisive advantage in inflammation h military technologies. we know that russia has consistently denied any involvement in cyber attacks here in the united kingdom. i says at lunch time and time again failed to provide any solid evidence to back up it claims against it. but still, the united can kingdom continues and is indeed setting up this new headquarters.

and it seems as though the u. k is not as ramping up as rhetoric, but it's clearly a ramping up its capabilities as well. steven dont injure who fought and won a $9500000000.00 judgment against chevron corporation for putting lands and waters . and the ecuadorian rainforest was sentenced to 6 months in jail at a federal court in manhattan friday following his conviction of contempt charges. a judge said don's injured declined court orders for delays in handing over his passport, hanging over details on all his devices and his refusal to hand over his computer and cell phone following. a racketeering suit filed against him by oil giant chevron corp rock legend. roger waters has been actively following the case and was on in question tuesday to discuss. well, i'm very glad that the you and human rights commission has waited on it. he spent

7791 days now house arrest and its way too much punishment. because all he did was deny judge louis a kaplan access to his computer and his cellphone to give those 2 pieces of equipment to chevron corporation, who are the people who we are fighting this battle against. on behalf of his clients, it would completely current should be in all the rules of crime privilege if he had done that and it is wrong and it will be go on, it will go on being wrong and tell schaeffer and pay those $30000.00 ecuadorian people there it's now about $12000000.00 with interest with interest and damages. it's gone up to about $12000000.00 that eroded reparation and they need it coming up after the break, a look into possible major insider trading job will discuss with again,

with the way of life of reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality, i'm with the main drive. the hood women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders. rather than with that. with however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a house wife could secure regular employment standards. it's in the final semester with

join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess all the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm ah. and i make no, certainly no borders line to nationalities and users as a merge, we don't have with the we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. every one is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response,

has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. ah ah, media report circulate about potential insider trading relating to the federal vice chair, members of congress are asking questions. senator elizabeth warren is now calling on the securities and exchange commission to investigate the matter in greater detail. for more we turn to tobin smith, theo, of transformative research. thanks so much for joining us. tobin good be here. so

what's your reaction to elizabeth warren calling for an investigation of trading activity by all high level fed officials and do you think more scandals will come to light? well, hey, have you ever met elizabeth warren? this is what elizabeth warren was born to do. and to absolutely, they're going to crack got it. i mean, the most gracious trade i've ever seen in my life is when the federal reserve said they were not going to cut rates, but they'd already decided at their meeting. and what are the federal reserve? presidents goes out and buys $5000000.00 a stock. i mean, if that's not insider trading and if there's not rules against that, then then there hapless and we're, we're suckers for it. so yeah, sometimes and you know, in the great american experiment we have to like, you know, be hit in the face 5 times to finally figure out that we're getting punched and i guarantee you, they're going to change this. and, and, you know, chairman powell really is the buck stops with him. i, you know, i, that may be

a reason for him not to be re appointed simply because, you know, this stuff went on, they filed the paperwork, he knew it was going on. so i don't know, i mean sometimes people get deaf dumb and blind all at the same time. well, i want to point out, no charges have been made and they're, you know, basically these are all claims. obviously at the moment by tobin, do you think it's merely a coincidence that the vice chair move between $1.00 to $5000000.00 out of a bond fund into stock funds back in february of 2021 day before you know, like you said, fed character on pal, put out that statement at the central bank might indeed take action to help the economy at the pandemic was approaching. oh no, it's no coincidence. whatever. come on, you know, i mean, you're sitting there in the call. i've been in the rooms whether having that call and everything down the line, everybody's on record, by the way, it's all taped to tell, dictated, etc. so we knew exactly what he was doing. and he felt obviously that, that was ethical as a fed governor. and, and when you look at the rules,

the rules really don't say that he can't do that. so the problem is with sort of the structure there. they're supposed to be a, you know, they're supposed to be not be involved and make decisions based on inside information from the fed. but there's no literal role that said he couldn't transfer a bond fund to a stock fund. and so that's going to change that. i am sure of, i think so if it was in line with you know, what is legal, do you think how's job is in jeopardy here? well, obviously lives with warren is gunning for his head and probably a couple more people are too. but remember that the fed and all the other central banks in the world are putting about $300000000000.00 euros in et cetera, into the, into the world economy. that's what's keeping the stock market afloat. arguably, keeping the stock bar gonna float is what's keeping consumer spending tending up. so, you know, my sense is, there's no reason to upset the deck here. let's wait till we get to january. when

now you're talking about re appointment. and let's you know, let's also uncover or everything else. it's buried in there because you know, if, if there's just not just one, you know, a bugger insect in the closet here. there's gotta be a couple more. now switching gears, treasury secretary, janet jaelyn as the by administration. so she's calling for the irish church. you accounts with more than a balance of $600.00, yet $23.00 state treasurer's and ires are opposing the plan. so do you see this moving forward? well, you know, it's not for her to decide, you know, these are state by state issues. i think really the bigger issue here, this is about crypto currency, more than anything else. the fact that you can open up an account and iris has no idea. you've open up an account, you can sell something in an account, and there's no idea that you've sold it, particularly if you hold it in an offshore type crypto group. so they're looking

for income wherever they can get delivered for taxes, wherever they can get it. this is one of many plays they're going to make, but, but technically, the federal reserve knows where all the cash is anyway, so i don't understand why they really are trying to pass this anyway. so do you think that they really could regulate crypto currency, the way things are moving? oh, of course it could potentially curve till curse it. the question is, is right now the tax code calls a currency says it's a product, it's not a currency, it's not a security, it's a tangible object. all they need to do is change the law that says that it is a, it is a security. and as a security, it comes into the fcc guys and it's going to get that way because when it was worth total, maybe a $100000000000.00 or something, it was sort of fun. now that it's $2.00 trillion dollars, it says it's bigger than many currencies in the world. probably only 3 currencies that are worth more out there in the world. so collectively, it's, it's, it's gotten too big. it's gotten to the point that,

that there's an industries that are built around hiding taxes. there's industries look at you grounded out of parts of puerto rico, the, the, the bros. down there, the painter. bros have bought all of the capital and they're building their own nirvana and they're going to call it their own state. so. so it's got way too much power. it gets the elected officials very nervous and, and, and the higher you get a profile, you know, the more you gets back down with a hammer and even trackable, you know, transactions with things like that. now when people, you know, might not be making all that much money. do you think it's even worth, you know, following that? oh yeah, i mean, i mean, 1st up, yeah, we got to remember that it at the real high level crypto currency, particularly bitcoin in a theory, him, this is a religion the what if you're a, if you're a bit coin breau, if you're in a theorem, angel you believe a 100 percent 120 percent of your heart and soul and that this is

a right thing to do. this is getting you under, out from underneath the some of the, of the legislators and the regulators and all those bad people and it's a religion. and when i say religion, i mean people believe in it so much that if they don't have bitcoin in their brokerage account, etc, they feel like they're a traitor. i mean, it's not just this idea of you know, diamond hands, i'm never going to sell it. and yellow and molo and hollow and all that stuff. but for the real true believers, this is a calling for them. it's like a religion. they're not, they're not worshipping anything. well, what they are worship making is the independence by not being underneath the thumb of regulatory officials and that for many like the libertarians before them. and many, but claim people were libertarians before they were bitcoin to people. it's freedom, baby. and you know, you could try to regulate it, but unless they got together and did it all over the major countries, you'll just move your crypto to the country that doesn't regulate. you have in fact pull so much for your in front history is be made with me 1st movie

ever shot in space overnight. a russian actress, any movie producer, launched into space to shoot and movie at the international space station. our team training covers has more on the production today, russia making history, launching an actress and film director into space to make a feature film in 0. gravity. are you prepared as well as it is possible to do in such a short period medium? in any case, this is an experiment, so i don't want to lose the word fear or anything like that. i want to say that i'm very excited and joyful because you have to understand how few people have been there will lead while we have the opportunity to fly, to speak while and not just lie there. but to do what we know best on who's pretty to make it on the russian actress, julia priscilla and director clim chapin go bloss it off for the international space station in a russian spacecraft together with cosmonaut, antonio group rove a veteran of 3 space missions, turbo pumps coming up to flight speed and left off,

and do i really need to all should be we're good. some piece of space debris could fall out of the sky about big a problem is this. i bought a chapter and i don't understand. i available on the ira t. america portable tv. and that's all the time we have for today for the show and more download the portable tv app for your apple or android device night. thanks so much for watching. ah, join me every 1st day on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh,

it's super cool most basic with douglas go. he did. who bought? i bought a dial from our company pretty than you quite, but i know from politicians to athletes and movies, don't musicals, does it seem to every big, maybe the world has been here? let's see. okay miss, you can work up a budget when you get the go. when you finish with us, let's give me a glover new sport. but she said basil makes dreams. come true. the every one who falls in love with people like what? mm. the way of life reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. while the main drive,

the hood, women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders rather than with when he'd now this will york city club is thinking. however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a house wife could secure regular employment standards. it's in the final semester, like, i'm not sure what i'm, what i'm like, usually with ah, in b o

is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, facebook's accused of spreading hate and weakening democracy by was to blur the revelations at a u. s. senate hearing stand in stock. com. trust. just a few years ago when social media platforms were held for bringing about the arab spring, beards energy crisis deepens with lisa lei bearing, the brand brake hold, gas prices have left many unable to pay the bills. oh jeremy, i'm really shocked. i'm aware of what is going on and i have to say we are upset, an absolute shame the italian state instead of protecting its citizens,

does exactly the opposite. it is raised the tariffs of goods such as.
