10:31 am
latest on this very developing story here is artie correspondent paxton boy, scotty, a mexican judge has issued 7 arrest warrants in relation to a decade old cross border gun trafficking. sting, including the country's most notorious drug lord. in an ex security minister convicted sinaloa cartel boss. what keen l. chapo guzman ex security minister, had nora garcia, luna, and former federal police intelligence official louis car. dennis 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, and 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 and key figures in mexican cartels, with the expectation that it would lead to their arrest. and therefore, the demise of the cartels. all 3 are currently behind bars in either the united
10:32 am
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 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 in mexico, causing cross border attention. 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, went to the gun views as part of that fast and furious operation were found at the scene of a shoot out in which us border patrol agent brian terry was killed in 2010. got it . okay, so i wanna continue this discussion with our panel. i'm bringing robert patillo
10:33 am
talk radio host, and so right attorney and ned ryan, who is the ceo of america majority in the fall presidential writer for george w bush. thanks for joining me gentlemen. scottie. okay, so this is interesting. i had a blast from the past to know when i 1st saw 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, do are actually going to go robert with different do you really fast and furious or anything, but just a political weapon with the republicans used to dry and damage? president obama, of course, is just a political weapon. let's 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 people. did the policy not go as intended, of course, but it's been you, bye parties. both republicans and democrats and republicans continued to bring this
10:34 am
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 of how can 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 u. s. 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 need fast and furious to have great success this fall, but i think going back to the fast and furious incidence,
10:35 am
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. well, and we talk and robert brought it up where they this is common practice, 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. and so net, do you remember ever any closure on situation before?
10:36 am
and like i said, there was no accountability, but doesn't that mean the republicans 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, that's why i'm talking about it because it's not americans, it's not american to judge justice. so america holding our country accountable for
10:37 am
giving the guns in the mexican government, the mexican judicial system, the thing this isn't right. these guns were illegally brought in here to kill people. we're going to hold our country accountable, even if the united states chose not to do it for political reasons. robert, i know you think this is just republicans throwing it, but 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 said something about where did the guns come from and who, what exactly are with people doing with them? slow government, take the same low accountability and interest in ensuring that you have don't have waves or migrant, went to the us border. how will they take the same energy of the young people to say and put their tor stop in the flow of guns across the mexican borders in to
10:38 am
united states into inner city? i won't stop in the full hair when the fentenol cocaine and methamphetamines and when the other drugs are coming to process something that's can boring. this little tip for the month of the authority to deflect from their own failures and corruptions are met. school is becoming becoming marco state by their very measure . i would think that this dismantled to take him away from that and try to push it off onto the u. s. for their own failures or their or their feel state. hold on for one second. i thought i did that with ned speaking there because i think that is one thing across the board. don't all agree on read, right, exactly, natty, i, 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 in an attempt to distract from their utter and complete failure with corruption and drug violence. and in fact, i would tell them, you know, what, what are you actually turn your focus in word and try and bring some, some closer to the corruption and all the problems that you have instead of pursuing these things, it's just a distraction. well, it's a distraction back once again. you start with accountability now or also just be
10:39 am
repeated again. ned, robert, always great to talk to you about it is no secret. google is taking over most everything in our lives. now the search engine has a very obvious monopoly in its industry. although there's competitors saying that so fast, we're joined by investigative journalists and boom, best coast bass one after the break, to discuss the latest lawsuit against the big tech company. mm. oh driven by drill shaped banks, suncoast and those with
10:40 am
dares sinks we dare to ask now we have easy reds. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to cigarettes. and do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce these sugars are making the tobacco and deborah flores you know, everybody is concerned about big coin being upon his game, but in fact, it's the only thing out there. there's not a bondage game, it's an open source project built by volunteers to try to policy. but there are a lot of policies out there july, an annual festival in st. petersburg dedicated to dust. i epsky, a great writer, thinker and psychologist. people often turned to his work to understand russia and
10:41 am
russians, perhaps even themselves. they put, they sing on moody, it would be asleep, bought the matting vehicle, anita wiley, fini, changing a rita, transforming them as they read. that's a dust i ask is unique ability to stay of sky wants to tell us, you can better yourself. he makes you face your true self serve. are we good man? beyond conventions, rules of schemes, beyond boundaries and time. dostoevsky is a global brand whose classics hasn't been on those. i'm never out of style. oh oh, nancy pelosi is this, stepping up, her coping 19 restrictions and policies for the house floor. now the new rules
10:42 am
include lengthening voting times while limiting the number of boats that actually happen on the floor. k $95.00 or k and $95.00 mask will actually be required on the floor, and taxpayers will now be stuck with providing a 40 k 90 by mass per office per month now. and we did some quick grab for you that $17400.00 mask 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, the government pays for. it's gonna be higher than free cost, but all those taxpayer dollars in 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 coven 19. and with a blue and red states, having us representatives of falling sick, a sense of march 2020. now of them 100 percent of those elected as democrats or
10:43 am
vaccinated. and even though we don't have the exact percentage of vaccinate republicans, can we actually blame the high number of positive cases in the house on the lack of mask being worn? well, not exactly. first of all, speaker policy actually implemented a mask mandate pretty much from the very beginning of the pandemic. and to as demonstrated by the latest member of congress to announced a positive code test, house members like represent alexandria, cortez don't always wear their masks. and it has yet to even follow such restrictions. but guess what? this is a new week. so discuss, i want to bring back in our friend patel and doctor omar hermana a packing physician and a retired lieutenant colonel from the u. s. army special forces. thanks for joining me. both. scotty. scotty. okay doctor, i'm at i, i wanna start with you and i understand the science, but let me just kind of work through this here. why does speaker policy now feel these new roles will help the spread of cov, in congress,
10:44 am
more than what is already been on the books and by those numbers are really working . i mean, it, these cloth mask have been worthless this whole time. has the american public and congress just wasted the last 2 years wearing them? well, you know, scary. 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 limitation of the sole issue. it's not like this is alma cranberry. it has changed the confirmation of the corona virus. it all has changed a 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 to ever have work. they 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 it's, i'm a convent being so transmissible. and infectious is actually a lot less serious of it provides
10:45 am
a lot less serious disease. so that could be the answer to the end that might providing natural immunity and hopes and her community well. 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 kona virus or coded, but also the flu or is partnered with strep. they're not there now. and we're even finding that 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 in there's something more likely with this omicron barrier that attaches itself to other viruses that were known for getting here in the spring and the winter doctor. ah, not necessarily it's, it's general such a mild that it's in general such a mild virus that's causing any severe disease, really just up respiratory without going down at the lines. but what we're saying is more flu is this season goes along. so i think they're just sort of cohabitate as you can, i guess they're multitasking,
10:46 am
they have multitasking tasking bags and not a good thing. robert obviously politics his role into this. and they're republicans, like marjorie, can agree who have actually already racked up tens of thousands of dollars and find saying a, she's not gonna change your mind with this new infection. this actually helps her with or may thing look at how much this government rules are overreaching. do the governments, real democrats going into 20? 20 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 parting? does that mean images they want again, the rest 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, we'll just with in the mean for k m k, and i 95 asked when we house floor. i don't think any of that has come to roots. i
10:47 am
don't think we could. we were saying that the cloth mass had been completely pointless. just 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 we can, uh, that's the truth, one of their effectiveness and stopping the of, of transmission of many of these viruses. i think that we have to continue to adapt them evolve just as the we're going through different variance with the virus with the go through different bearing. so protocols will use to fight against the virus . and as we saw in the early days, depending on when americans are united, when they're following the lead and they're doing the proper sanitation, social distance. so we can get this under control as if the quote so heavily political will societal will to go through these things long enough to bring this fall 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 about the doctor. i want to ask you real quick, i got those to you though. it's virginia. virginia hospitals are saying,
10:48 am
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 cove it way or we have seen this sort of run on it because there's a lack of testing or 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 backfire against trying to keep people safe. because now we have people running a hospital for a sniffle, and real people with real emergencies that can't get in this and lack of poor planning. and logistics was a lack of i think there have been many forces i've 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 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 know, you would need to test out of it yourself. about 5 days you can return to your normal life that calls a panic because people do not want to believe them when they were telling you that
10:49 am
it's not that bad, just rest up for a couple of days and then go back out there. so what we have to do is re establish faith and real, establish, belief in the public health system we have and start following the science again. so we can give that to the same quote. 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 this the society. well, let's have but i want to thank you both for this conversation. now follow up to the continued controversy regarding a trans, at gender athletes traditionally competing in the mathematic event. now this story actually takes the opposite path, most often at the athlete 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 breaking records. the latest comes from the ivy league swim meet where the trans university of pennsylvania swimmer lea at thomas,
10:50 am
who broke to national women's records in december was a crushed twice by yell competitor, his ox, 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 n. e g is transitioning, but from a female to male. and following the when in fact, who all ready had both abreast removed, pulled down the top of the swim suit revealing were breast traditionally would be located for fema summers. one parent remarked 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 at this season develop. now when you think of
10:51 am
a search engines and most often you think of google, in fact, it dominates the field so much. it is become a verb, but google competitors are crying foul at the company's business practices because they say it doesn't benefit them. it only strengthens the monopoly that explain if this is a legit claim or just a desperation. we bring an investigator and i think host of boom, best been for one. been thanks for joining me on this. yeah, i think for me. ok. so google ok. you could be a fan, you cannot be a fan. but in this case, going to the audience. why is doug doug? go taking google to court? ah, yes. so what does that go? a personal, let me just say this before we start that it, google was in trouble in so many places around the world for anti competitive practices, but this is just one of those lawsuits. so in this particular case, you've got duck that go, that essentially is saying that google has violated terms of monopolistic practices
10:52 am
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 echo as an a plugin extension, right? so if you've ever done that before, basically what you're telling your google chrome is, 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 warnings 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 when they, if they are essentially saying, if you look at the numbers and how duct that goes,
10:53 am
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, is longstanding law in the united states of 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 bill gates that when before congress. and there was a lot of questions about what microsoft was doing. and because essentially what was found was that microsoft was violating monopoly in antitrust 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
10:54 am
my thing about this been, doesn't this all start where the traffic is originating on a google platform? so why is very different it 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 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
10:55 am
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, 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 that side. they're not on me underneath the same name, but it's not just stuck 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? well, one of the biggest cases obviously is what's going on in india right now. and that
10:56 am
has to do with advertising. so one of the problems that google is run into specifically in france, in an 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 miss news 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 range. those searches in their news headline traits, 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
10:57 am
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 of google, right. and the issues that they have with anti competitive practices. and as i said, they're anti compared to the 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 is 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 they're one of the most powerful up on the hill today. and this is by chance, could you continue to hold their feet to the fire? thank you. been and then offer today show, i want to continue this conversation on a twitter. and i want to talk about whether the entry level i should actually create a category solely for transgender athletes. what do you think your answer as got in here? you the hash tag team and b 8. it brought out of our programming here at r t america download the part that to be app is free and most importantly into each
10:58 am
other. again, i'm carrying on you to say happy se healthy to stay informed to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk more when i was showing wrong. when i just don't know, i mean you really is yet to shape out disdain become the advocate. an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will the part we
10:59 am
choose to look for common ground. while our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment, we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of police. this is an amber vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program, very free program with the government program that follows 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 a need because it again a feeling that hey, you have to deal with our practice who you putting in a uniform. a powerful thing from time is 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 that you have
