2:30 am
drive across were attentions between the united states and mexico. so for more on this island who is being targeted and the latest on this very developing story here is rt correspondent paxton boy. scotty, a mexican judge has issued 7 arrest warrants in relation to a decade old cross border gun trafficking thing, including the country's most notorious drug lord, in an ex security minister, convicted sinaloa cartel. but what keen l. chapo guzman, ex security minister, had nora garcia, luna, and former federal police intelligence official louis cardenas, are among those named in a statement released sunday from the attorney general's office. this stemming from the so called fast and furious gun running scandal from 2009 to 2011 in which u. s. federal officials allowed about 2000 guns to be traffic in new mexico. the goal to track those guns as they were transferred to higher level traffickers in key figures in mexican cartels, with the expectation that it would lead to their arrest. and therefore,
2:31 am
the demise of the cartels. all 3 are currently behind bars and either the united states or mexico. the attorney general's office has not yet clarified whether it will seek to extrude i guzman, who is currently serving a life sentence in u. s. federal prison guzman has twice escaped high security prisons in mexico. the statement did note the mexican judges have requested to extradite garcia, luna, the former security minister who was charged by us authorities with drug trafficking in 2019. he now faces to arrest warrants. the one secret operation did not come without controversy, and some of the weapons were later blamed for gang related crime sprees and mexico, causing cross border tension. the statement adding, we have been informed that us authorities have been charged with investigating and holding responsible public officials in that country without going into further detail. i've got the operation came to light when 2 of the guns used as part of that fast and furious operation were found at the scene of a shoot out in which us border patrol agent bryan. terry killed in 2010. got it.
2:32 am
okay, so i wanna continue this discussion with our panel and we're here robert patillo talk radio host. and so right attorney and ned ryan, who is the ceo of american majority and a former presidential writer for george w bush. thanks for joining me gentlemen. got it. okay, so this is interesting. i had a blast from the past. now when i 1st saw the how, like, fast and furious, is there another movie coming out? no, we're going back to the original obama scandal i believe. so i want to start with you on this one, ned, did i come and go, robert different? do you really fast and furious or anything, but just a political weapon to the republicans used to dry and damage? president obama, of course, is just a political weapon unless understand that this is based directly off of the operation why receiver, which is a bush bush era policy, which took place in 2006 gun walking is a common practice use in inner city in gain crime cases, you put the guns out there, they work their way up the uh, the food chain to the guys at the top of the letter. and then you can arrest those
2:33 am
people. did the policy not go as intended, of course, but it's been used by both parties. both republicans and democrats and republicans continue to bring this up to cover up for the fact they don't have any really policies that they are running on in 2022. and the deflect from the scandals that are coming out every day regarding the g o. p of their involvement of the insurrection. and when the other thing so happened the result in losing the last election. so, just to attempt to bring back a blast and a half and they have nothing else to run on that what this is net is this only coming up, and frankly, it's coming from a mexican judge, not even a us, or the mexicans are the ones looking for accountability, but is that what this is all about? the reason why it's coming back to light now? no, i don't think it has anything to do with republicans. in fact, i would assure you scotty, fast and furious, there's probably not been discussed. and most republican circles for years, although i will say this, i mean, 1st of all, there's plenty of us, plenty of things for us to run on 2022. and there's a lot of things that i think will be working to republicans advantage. we don't
2:34 am
need fast and furious to have great success this fall, but i think going back to the fast and furious incidence, i think the thing that i think you can find agreement across party lines is i want to start to have accountability for some of these bureaucrats who do these things, that obviously was a wild failure, on fact a lost track of most of those 2000 and some guns. why is there no accountability for these bureaucrats? and for these people that have done these things go, i don't think i actually ever had to face the consequences for the stupidity of what they actually did. so i think you find democrats and republicans who would agree there have to be consequences for people that do these things. and unless we have consequences, they're going to continue to do stupid things in the future while we talk. and robert brought it up where they, this is common practice, my republican democrats, usually in the inner cities, drop the guns and find out who the, who, the bosses. but this cross international lines. and i really feel like there was not much accountability of the conversations between mexico and the united states
2:35 am
and net. do you remember ever any closure on the situation before? and like i said, there was no accountability. but doesn't that mean at the republican dropped the ball on asking for considering it was all under the obama administration? well, i feel like republicans in dc drop the ball all the time on a whole host of issues. scott, a little, get me started on that. but i do think it is one of those things where somebody clearly had an idea that they wanted to pursue was the absolute failure. and again, in the private sector, there's always consequences for failure yet. and the government, we just continue on the people just continue on and they fail upwards. that's one of the things we say in d. c all the time that people just continue to fail upwards. and until we start to add that accountability, we'll see more of this. no, i don't think it was. it's not something that i think is going to be actually a big topic this year. in fact, was really surprised that it was even a topic guy right now. well, and that's what that,
2:36 am
that's why i'm talking about it because it's not americans, it's not american to just to sicily, america holding our country accountable for giving the guns. it's the mexican government, the mexican judicial system. the thing this isn't right. these guns were legally brought in here to kill people. we're going to hold our country accountable, even if the united states chose is not to do it for political reasons. robert, i know you think this is just a republican throwing it, but i, you do have to point out it, what does it say of mexico who we have? no one says has the most most holding accountable government right now, especially on this hemisphere. they're willing to hold people accountable for this and the u. s. is doing nothing. like you said, this is just a political thing being brought up. but i don't think it is. i think it says something about where did the guns come from and who, what exactly are people doing with them? well, this is a government take the same login, accountability and interest in ensuring that you have don't have these waves of micros went to the us border. how will they take the same energy of the young
2:37 am
people to say and put their tor stop the flow of guns across the mexican borders into the united states into inner cities? i will stop in the full heroine in fentenol, cocaine, and methamphetamines many the other groups are coming across as something that can board and this was hit by the mexican authority to deflect from their own failures . busy and corruptions will become a narco state by their very measure. i would think that this is just the intent to take attention away from that and push it off onto the us or the own failures of their, of their failed state. hold on for one second. i thought that that was ned speaking there because i think that is one thing across the board. oh, really? right, exactly. now, i totally agree with what robert just said. in fact, they're trying to say the mexicans are trying to sue the, the gun manufacturers all attempt to distract from the utter and complete failure with corruption and drug violence. and in fact, i would tell them, you know, what, what you actually turn your focused inward and try and bring some, some closer to the corruption and all the problems that you have instead of
2:38 am
pursuing these things, it's just a distraction. well, it's a distraction, right? once again, you start with accountability now or also just be repeated again. ned, robert, always good to talk to you about it is no secret. google has taken over most everything in our lives. now the search engine has a very obvious monopoly in its industry. losers can better say not so fast. we are joined by investigative journalists and blue bus. tell us base one after the break to discuss the lights lawsuit against the big tech company. the oh, driven by drill shaped banks, concur. some of those with
2:39 am
dares sinks. we dare to ask you know, everybody is concerned about that coin being upon his game, but in fact there's the only thing out there. there's not a bond he's game, it's an open source project bill by volunteers. it's not a policy, but there are a lot of policies out there. july, an annual festival in st. petersburg dedicated to dust i epsky. ah, the great writer. think around psychologist, people often turn to his work to understand russia and russians. perhaps even themselves. they put, they sing on the sequel, they bought the mattie vehicle, anita wiley, denita changing a rita,
2:40 am
transforming them as they read that to dust i. estie is unique ability to stay of sky wants to tell us you can better yourself. he makes you face your true self or we keep man beyond conventions, rules of schemes, beyond boundaries and time. dostoevsky is a global brand whose classics, everyone knows. i'm never out of stuff with . oh, nancy pelosi is stepping up. her carpet 19 restrictions and policies for the house floor. now the new rules include lengthening voting times while limiting the number of votes that actually happened on the floor. k $95.00 or k and $95.00 mask will actually be required on the floor and tax payers will not be stuck with providing
2:41 am
a 40 k $95.00 mask per office per month now. and we did some quick draft for you. that's $17400.00 mass per month, which honestly is a nice purchase order for some company which will probably give a government rate. and if it's like anything else, a government pay for, it's going to be higher than $3.00 cost. but all the taxpayer dollars and the cost of these mask will we get what we pay for. will they be sure to keep house members from catching cove? it? well, according to statistics, a 104 representatives and senators have actually tested positive for cobra 19. and with blue and red stage, having us representatives, falling sick, a sense of march 2020. now of them 100 percent of those elected as democrats or vaccinated. and even though we don't have the exact percentage of vaccine republicans, can we actually blame the high number of positive cases in house on the lack of mass being worn? well, not exactly. first of all, speaker closely actually implemented
2:42 am
a mass mandate, pretty much from the very beginning of the pandemic. and to as demonstrated by the latest member of congress to announce a positive cobra test. house members like represent alexandria, cortez don't always wear their math. and the she has the even follow such restrictions. but guess what? this is a new week. so discuss, i want to bring back in our friend robert patel and dr. omar hermana a practicing physician and retired lieutenant colonel from the u. s. army special forces. thanks for joining me, both. scotty. scotty. okay, dr. amada, i want to start with you, and i understand the science, but let me just kind of work through this here. why does speaker plus the now feel? these new roles will help the spread of covey in congress, more than what is already been on the books, and by those numbers aren't really working. i mean, it, these cloth mass has been worthless, this whole time. has the american public and congress just wasted the last 2 years
2:43 am
wearing them? well, you know, scottie, we've been saying they're worthless since the very beginning. but the problem is that people are reacting non scientifically to fear and political politicization of the sole issue. it's not like this, i'm a cranberry, and has changed the confirmation of the corona virus. it all has changed to certain part of it. good. the virus is still the same size and it's still the same shape. it's not like mass just stopped working. they never have work. they do help some transmission from a sick person to a well person, but they don't really help from if you're well to help prevent you getting it. so i don't think these new rules are really going to do anything. one thing that i've been predicting and i stand by it is this, i'm a con, barian being so transmissible and infectious is actually a lot less serious of it provides a lot less serious disease. so it could be the answer to the and that providing national immunity and has, and her community. and i have to ask you, doctor, because as we're looking around, as the cases that are coming up, people are past testing positive not only for a virus or coded,
2:44 am
but also the flu or it's partnered with strep. they're not there now. and we've been fighting the kids that are in the hospital right now. they're not going in for co, but they're going in for something else and testing positive. is there something more likely with this oh, micron barrier that attaches itself to other viruses that were known for getting here in the spring and the winter doctor? not necessarily thing it. it's, it's general such a mild that it's in general such a mild virus, not causing any severe disease, really just up respiratory without going down the lines. but what we're saying is more flu as the goes along. so i think they're just sorting cohabitate as you can. i guess they're multitasking, they have multitasking tasking bags and not a good thing. robert, obviously politics is our role into this. and they're republicans, like marjorie, can agree who have actually already wrapped up tens of thousands of dollars and find saying a,
2:45 am
she's not gonna change your mind with this new. and actually this actually helps her with, or may think, look at how much this government rules are overreaching. do the governments really, democrats going into 2020 because everything is now going to be out of politics and timing. do they really want to get the country, especially following pictures of members during the holiday being masked, less and partying? does that mean? did they want to give the rest of the country that they really want more government involvement in people's lives and restrictions? i don't think while more government involvement, i think it's about making sure to we're following the scientific evidence has been articulated to us. we know that all micron is up to 70 times more transmissible than delta or some of the other strains will cover them. come along, well just with the mean for k m k, and i 95 asked when we house floor. i don't think any of that is controversial. i don't think we were saying that the cloth mass have been completely pointless. this . look at your mask at the end of the day, all this stuff that it was on, their bath used to be on other people. so i think one of the that's the truth, one of their effectiveness and stopping the of,
2:46 am
of transmission of many of these viruses. i think that we have to continue to adapt and evolve just as the we're going through different variance of the virus. we have to go through different variance of protocols will use to fight against virus. and as we saw in the early days, depending what americans are united when they're following the lead on their doing the proper sanitation, social distance that we can get this under control is, is the quote so heavily the political, willing to societal will to go through these things long enough to bring this to get to her immunity, to get enough people that say that so we can return to normal life. but i have to ask you, robert, it's been 2 years. i mean, how much more time do you want when other countries have moved on from the things i agree that science has been developing and we're learning more of it. i want you real quick. i thought this to you though. virginia, virginia hospitals are saying, please don't come to our hospice, right? our ears are being overrun with people. they don't even have any real symptoms, but they just feel like they've been exposed. they want to actually, they want to get tested for coven way, or we have seen this sort of run on it because there's the lack of testing or
2:47 am
people thinking they're there. they're just thinking they automatically got it because they've been exposed. as this panic actually has been sitting in it actually kind of back fire against trying to keep people safe. because now we have people running hospitals for a sniffle, and real people with real emergencies that can't get in it. this about some lack of poor planning and logistics was a lack of i think that there been many forces as well spent the last year or so i'm trying to cast out on our public health officials. so last month we had the cdc and she new guidelines saying, well we can do 5 days instead of 10 days for an exact reason. you were just mentioning that if you are a symptomatic, you don't need to go to the hospital, you don't need to get check. you don't even need to test out of it. give yourself about 5 days. you can return to your normal life that cause a panic because people do not want to believe them when they were telling you that it's not that bad, just rest up for a couple days and then go back out there. so what we have to do is re establish faith in real stablish belief in the public health officials that we have and start following the science again. so we can get back to the say, look,
2:48 am
these are the guidelines that are currently adaptive from the evidence that we've seen. now, let's follow those guidelines until they are updated and work our way through the society. well, let's hope that i want to thank you both and his conversation. now a follow up to the continued controversy regarding a transit gender athletes. traditionally competing in the math, i think event. now this story actually takes the opposite most often at the athletes haven't mediocre record in the sport prior to their transition, but find themselves now in a better placement following their transition. in some certain circumstances, the transition to athletes are even at breaking records. the latest comes from the leaks were made were the trans university of pennsylvania swimmer lea at thomas, who broke to national women's records in december was crushed twice by yellow competitor, his arc hennick. leah was still able to win one of her 4 races, but this time only by 2 seconds. here's a twist. 20 year old is zach
2:49 am
n. e g is transitioning, but from a female to male. and following the, when it's act who already had both abreast removed, pull down the top of the swim suit revealing or breath traditionally would be located for fema summers. one parent remark to the press, everything is messed up. i can't wrap my head around this. the anti devil a needs to do something. but as of now, the delay policy will allow both athletes to continue to compete on the female teams pending. and they continue to follow the current protocol regarding hormonal treatment for gender transition. we're going to keep you posted on this story as the season develop. now when you think of a search engines, and most often you think of google and back it dominates the field so much, it is becoming irp. but google competitors are crying foul at the company's business practices because they say it doesn't benefit them. it only strengthens
2:50 am
the monopoly that explain if this is a legit claim or just a desperation. we bring an investigator and i think of host of boom. been it for want been thanks for joining me on this. yeah, i think for me. ok, so google ok. you can be a fan. cannot be a fan, but in this case where they are is why is doug doug? go taking google to court? yes. so what it don't go 1st, let me just say this before we start that google was in trouble in so many places around the world for anti competitive practices, but this is just one of those losses. so in this particular case, you've got duct go, that essentially is saying that google has violated terms of monopolistic practices by essentially messing with these plugins. so when you go to your browser extension on google chrome, for instance, you have the ability to install duct eco as an a plug in extension, right? so if you've ever done that before, basically what you're telling your google chrome is,
2:51 am
i want my default search bar to be doc that go not to be google. and what they're saying is, is that over the years they were able to grow pretty steadily, even though google constantly did little things like they pulled little tricks in order to make it difficult for people to use these plugin extensions. and then they would pop up warning and they pop up questions. and then in august of 2020, they did something kind of remarkable, which was that google actually change their system in order to make it even more difficult for people to be able to access these plugins. and then they pop up a huge question for you when you try to use the plugin that says, do you want to switch back to google chrome with a big glowing button that says switch, right? and so what they are essentially saying is if you look at the numbers and how duct that goes, traffic has declined. they can trace it back directly to august of 2020 when google chrome instituted this new system. and so what they're saying is that google was essentially making it difficult to have competition, which by the way,
2:52 am
is longstanding law in the united states that, that is illegal. it goes all the way back to the days of microsoft back when microsoft and their explorer was the default search engine and all of microsoft software. there was a huge lawsuit in the 1990 s bo gates that when before congress. and there was a lot of questions about what microsoft was doing. and because essentially what it was found was that microsoft was violating monopoly and anti trust law by having their default search engine to be explore and blocking out competition. it is because scottie of those laws and that ruling that google even exists today because had it not been for that, we'd all be using explorer and safari and nobody would be using google. but here's my thing about this brand, doesn't this all start where the traffic is originating on a google platform? so why is there a different day? and for doc that go, i mean, they're literally at the mercy of a platform. so why should google be forced to have to make it even for their
2:53 am
competition when the traffic starts with them originally? well, because the traffic doesn't start with them. so here's why. because google chrome is not a search engine, right? google chrome, just like microsoft is a software that you install onto a computer in order to operate the computer a google chrome becomes your, your operating system. okay? and so the reason that significant is because when you open up google chrome, it has a whole host of different applications. and one of those applications is to add a search bar separate company, also owned by google, which is google search. as you have to remember that when we talk about these issues, and this is the reason the google's in trouble in france and in australia. and then most recently, by the way in india, is because they perform these anti competitive practices of saying, we're building a whole bunch of technology over here. and then we're going to funnel all of our customers from this particular technology. in this case, google chrome over to our default search engines. and by the way,
2:54 am
google gotten in trouble for doing this with android. you know, they create android and the operating system on most people's phones. it's not apple. well, in those cases, they've gotten in trouble because they may google the default search engine. and in france they've been hit with massive fines because they're trying to steer their customers away from utilizing search other than their own search. they're 2 separate companies, the search and the google chrome or android. they're separate companies. google cannot treat them like they're the same company, and that's the key they care for that they are separate on. it's either not on underneath the same name, but it's not just that, that kind of that having an issue with them, like you said that google's in trouble all over the world. are there some other cases that you can point to right now that are actually getting some traction? ah, well one of the biggest cases obviously is what's going on in india right now. and that has to do with advertising. so one of the problems that google is run into specifically in france, in india, is the issue of how they deal with news publishers. so when you go to google, as, as you well know, right. and someone wants to know what's going on in the news and they happen to
2:55 am
miss news, use hughes. otherwise they be informed and they go and they type into google, right. and they're searching specifically for some kind of news article will google now rings. those searches in their news headlines, right? the thing they've gotten in trouble for is that they are picking and choosing which news publishers to push out through their algorithm that's not legal in france and it's not legal in australia and it's not legal in india. and so what they're facing in terms of government investigations in those countries is the government essentially saying that they are utilizing their search to favor one news publisher over another news publishers. and they've gotten in trouble for that. and then there's another issue by the way that google's also facing, and that is the issue of how they prioritize advertising. and they are able to block off certain advertisers or certain companies from receiving advertising because google dominates the online ad market. and so there are a whole bunch of different elements to alphabet the parent company, but really it's all a google, right. and the issues that they have with anti competitive practices. and as i said,
2:56 am
they're anti competitive practices here in the united states and abroad. but it's in those other countries in france and in india, and in australia, where google's actually paying the fines here in the us. we're not doing a whole lot about it. well, i know they're paying something, but it's not fine. it's more like their lobbying group is one of the most powerful up on the hill today. and this is by chance as you continue to hold their feet to the fire. thank you, ben. and then it off today show. i want to continue this conversation on twitter, and i want to talk about whether the entry level actually create a category solely for transgender athletes. what do you think your answer as got in? you've used the hash tag team and the 8 it for all that of our programming here at our t. america. hello to forward that to the app is free, and most importantly until we see each other again carrying on you to say happy stay healthy and stay informed.
2:57 am
join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, when i was showing the wrong one i just don't know. i mean you wrote yes to shape out. disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. while our officers are facing in increasingly dangerous environments, we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops, a term that i've heard in the militarization of police. this is an amber vehicle we
2:58 am
acquired through the 1033 program, very free program with the government program that funnels military property that is no longer use to local law enforcement. we're building an army over here and i can't believe the people. i see 1st thing an agency dealt with terrorism here because it's again a feeling that hey, you have to deal with our practice. who you putting in the uniform of the bed is a powerful thing. is sometimes like money in play tricks and people mind they think they go bad knows what was out the door. very bad. johns are common good news. you have job security because the world desperately needs what you have to pay for is your media reflection of reality. in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?
2:59 am
isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true was his way. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. now we have e cigarettes. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to cigarettes. do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce our these cigarettes are making the tobacco at the tours with
3:00 am
ah, protested pepper sprayed in germany and another round of demonstrations against district new cove measures. does european states struggle to contain infections and increasingly angry citizen international peacekeepers will begin withdrawing from catholics done in a couple of days. as the president says, the situation stabilized following devastating riots and cited by suspected terrorist fans of tennis. number one, no joke of, it's really a melbourne where the star was detained, to offer a legal volume, which in australia called back, his coven exemption only for the immigration minister to then threatened his expulsion at any time to talk about his father talks to.
