wrong, oh, just don't hold any you. yes, to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. with i'm here today because i believe facebook's products harm children, stoked division and week in our democracy to light a facebook with a lower makes her appearance before congress. will this lead to close on media? regulations are $360.00 panel will discuss plus the u. k. working to fight cyber attacks will, will it work? and major questions are circulating as an investigation is locked into exactly how top feds are investing and stocks all that and more on use. use hughes right here
12:31 pm
on our t. america. ah . good evening and thanks for joining us. i'm natasha sweet in for scotty. now hughes and major shake up within the world's largest social media platform. a former facebook employee has come forward with insight information about the company less than 72 hours after a period on 60 minutes. frances hoggett and testified on capitol hill about facebook utilizing negative emotions among users to incite more interaction and profits on their platform. companies leadership knows how to make facebook, and instagram saver won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical prophets before people. congressional action is needed. they won't solve this crisis without your help. now as you, her hogan is calling on congress to step in to give some type of regulation to the
12:32 pm
platform. hogan claims that her former employer deliberately chose profits over people's well. bien, take a listen. i saw facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profit, us 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 threads, and more combat. in some cases, this does, 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 soup facebook, you have no recourse. most america doesn't know about section 230
12:33 pm
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. thank you here, natasha. so it's school for 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 sharing with the public. she's making
12:34 pm
it sound and by the way, i'm those that are facebook. and i think 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
12:35 pm
there are national security risk to this country, 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 with 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 learn to way everything is good, then you have to control everything. we know that social media as follow wires be no social media is for people with bad information. we know social media is
12:36 pm
powerful enough because some of the confuse people in american history, in 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 steve, 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,
12:37 pm
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 station. so who do i make sure we leave about not everybody not on don't nowadays? no, actually what it's like to be a teen using social media. i mean,
12:38 pm
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. it 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. but you know, if it's, if it's as simple as a, 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, i hate misinformation, and political unrest. so deep. what's your take on those findings to speak to cnn or whatever other stations steve was talking about when i talk about my problems with police and a way of policing to be more effective. we just saw about a dozen upon which city police officers go to jail from a range of 7 to 20 years. does not have a mission, esl it black experience. but what i want to say is that,
12:39 pm
and maybe just because we do for capitalism, just because we do believe in a free market, that doesn't mean that we can step up and talk about some of the problems that it, that it causes. so we didn't, we, we don't know her whole experience at face, but we don't know how much misinformation and she turned a by a 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 do this? and any touch on this a little bit so dear? 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
12:40 pm
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, they back conservative thought and they ban 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 event. no, she think any this should be as
12:41 pm
a company, don't you believe this should be able to operate however they want to operate in 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 the, 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 miles 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 danced. he has the details as being described to head by the government in britain as a once in a generation opportunity and a real game changer and placing brits and back on the map as a global lead,
12:42 pm
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 c 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
12:43 pm
of the way she can 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 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 assess at lunch time and
12:44 pm
time again, failed to provide any solid evidence to back up it claims against it, but still the united can the 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 rain forest 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 a fine 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 cellphone. following a racketeering suit filed against him by oil giant chevron corporation. rock legend, roger waters has been actively following the case and was on in question tuesday to
12:45 pm
discuss well, i'm very glad that the un human rights commission has waited on it. he spent 7791 days now the 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 contravene all the rules of grant privilege. if he had done that, and it is wrong and it will be go on, it'll go on being wrong until chevron pay those $30000.00 ecuadorian people. that it's now about $12000000.00 with interest with interest and damages. it's gone up to about $12000000.00 that eroded
12:46 pm
reparation. and they need it showing up after the break. a look into possible major insider trading job will discuss with again, with that. and i with these are the full people who pull the trigger. i survive something on survival. one to the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face at a low expectation, a life i accepted. i accept the fact that i made that it's where we had no fears.
12:47 pm
jell change pretty fast. 4 shots different stories behind the bullets. ah ah no, but i think the most basic but i see you go. he did. who bought? i bought a dial tomorrow. i'm more than you know, quite but i know from politicians to athletes and movies. delta musicals does it
12:48 pm
seems every big name in the world has been here last year, but ms. you can pick up the school. ah, what do i say? budget when you get the calls that i need to give me a glowered new sport, but she said basil makes dreams. come true that every one who falls in love with oh, what a ah, media report circulate about potential insider trading relating to the federal vice
12:49 pm
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 beer. 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, a, have you ever met elizabeth warren? this is what elizabeth farm is born to do. and to absolutely are going to crack on it. i mean, the most gracious trade i've ever seen in my life is when the federal research said they were not going to cut rates, but they've already decided it. they're meeting. and what are the big of a fellow reserve presence goes out by $5000000.00 a stock. i mean if that's not insider trading and if there's not rules against that, then then they're hapless and we're, we're suckers for it. so yeah, sometimes in,
12:50 pm
you know, in the great american experiment we have to like, you know, be hitting 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. you know, i, that may be a reason for him not to be reappointed 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 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 care drone pow put out that statement at the central bank might indeed take action to help you economy as the pandemic was approaching. oh no,
12:51 pm
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 see. so if it was in line with, you know, what is legal, do you think power 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
12:52 pm
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, with, 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 i are asked her if 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,
12:53 pm
more than anything else. the fact that you can open up an account and iris has no idea you've opened up an account, you can sell something in an account and he has no idea that you 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 you know, 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? wow, of course it could potentially crypto currency. the question is, is right now the tax code calls a curt. no 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 guides and it's going to get that way because when it was
12:54 pm
worth total, maybe a $100000000000.00 or something, it was sort of fun. now that is $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 off,
12:55 pm
you gotta remember that it at the real high level crypto currency, particularly bitcoin in a theory, him, this is a religion the if you're a, if you're a bit coin, bro, 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 in 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. yolo, and molo and holo, 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 any thing. 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
12:56 pm
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 it's beth, pull so much for your insight. history is 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 chavez has more on the production to day russia making history. launching an actress and film director into space to make a feature film in 0, gravity go. ne, prepared as well as it is possible to do in such a short period idiom in any place. this is an experiment. i don't want to lose the word to fear anything like that. i want to say that i'm very excited and joyful noted because you have to understand how few people have been there will lead while
