Employees and other family members making large scale queries that did not distinguish between u. S. Persons and foreign intelligence targets and that the f. B. I. His actions were a major violation of the 4th amendment to our constitution that protects the decisions from on reasonable search and seizure these revelations even caught the eye of n. S. A. Whistleblower Edward Snowden who tweeted while the f. B. I. Is running warrantless Internet Surveillance Program so flag really unconstitutional that even the secret rubber stamp court that approved 99. 967 percent of surveillance requests over 33 years felt they couldnt turn a blind eye. My friends when your surveillance scandal runs so deep that you can get a while from Edward Snowden then you know youve reached a pretty obscene new low which is why we must always be watching the hawks. Were already. The. Real that this would. Be the plot of. The day like you that i got. With that we. Would. Be. Particularly. Well the one watching the robot to downtown buffalo. Wow. So as a sort of gone through the f. B. I. Was searching for information involving large number numbers of americans with no individualized basis for suspicion of any wrongdoing. Meaning they were looking at large groups of people and not looking at them in any way specifically because they did anything wrong they kept no records. About how often agents were searching for information about u. S. Citizens until last year when congress made them do it and then Court Rulings also so that several searches and february of 20. Apparently involved f. B. I. Efforts to identify americans whom it could try to develop and to potential confidential source of their mission while. Wearing a game there by the f. B. I. About a devastating for the absolutely devastating you know some type it didnt even stop with them searching like utero. You know all these americans searching for sources 1 march 2017 search actually more than 70000 identifiers linked to surprise surprise the f. B. I. s all in the workforce identifies with things like email address and things like that in one case and that will use the database to search for information on himself his relatives and other f. B. I. Personnel its like theyre using this database like youd use google. I mean this just absolutely blows my mind it was kind of interesting because their reaction to the story u. S. Representative just. Said this is a 72 and 28 and i led the charge against the establishment to stop this Program President attacked my efforts and signed it into law with the support of ryan palosi mccarthy. Its an outrageous violation of our constitution and are. Really all comes down to. Constantly. We cannot rely times on congress to actually protect our rights on any given but just look the other way around or we can go after the f. B. I. We cant go after the Surveillance Community the Intelligence Community and all that kind of thing and when we do they just seem to go around in this case i mean thats i mean weve weve heard about this forever about 10 years of listening to theyre looking at that theyre searching anything they want theyre searching themselves or searching their friends or searching their axes theyre abusing the system that they have access to and when you think about the fact that you have you know a 1000000 people with security clearances can do that and have access to these databases that it becomes a little scary because a very large number of people and you cant prove it on the other side if youre in the middle of a divorce and your ex is using our resources like these databases and are going to find information on you theres no way for you to prove or even request information to prove. Thats an interesting angle i never even thought about that when youre sitting there like you know when theyre when theyre using it for personal reasons not even like theyre supposed to the board thing thats right its like oh man and then it just goes deep but it just shows the lack of regard for the sanctity of our rights. Because i dont i mean think about it right now right now the Supreme Court is deciding whether certain groups of people because of the clothes they wear or who they say who they have sex with deciding whether those people have the same rights as the rest of us. And you wonder why you have entire swathes of of us citizens who sit and dont even think about it you wonder why the f. B. I. The n. S. A. The cia the u. S. Government everybody else the femina Homeland Security as a reason all of them they all their whole job is digging into our stuff to try to catch us in something before we do it because its easier to catch things before they happen than deal with the actual problem or do what youre supposed to do which is investigate the crime once its happened its a brilliant point that is a very brilliant point and its really at this point in time i really do think that we need to take a realistic step back and really look at how these agencies are operated what is put in place to prevent this from happening again and also look at the repercussions of the fact that no one ever seems to go to jail whenever theyre caught for these things no ones ever really punished at the end of the base so thats what allows people say well hey we get a slap on the wrist and a few bad lines will be ok the next time we want to do it. Like dominoes falling in a game nobody wants to play turkish warplanes began bombing areas in North Eastern syria this was the predicted fall of after u. S. President on the trump order the removal of u. S. Troops from the border between turkey and syria are to americas saya tavenner the latest. Turkeys military has begun its operation in Northern Syria as part of an offensive to move us back Kurdish Forces away from its borders now already hundreds of civilians in Northern Syria have fled areas on the border with turkey just within the last few hours and turkeys are already using heavy all tillery and conducted air strikes in syria now after turkeys offensive began today there were signs of panic on this trees of. One of the towns under attack with residential areas close to the border now throwing more confusion on the situation. In syria President Trump put out a statement that the u. S. Does not endorse his attack and has made it clear to turkey that this operation is a bad idea now President Trump has also said that hes monitoring the situation to make sure and necessary casualties would not occur and now with no u. S. Troops in that region its very hot unclear just how the u. S. Would even monitor the Turkish Defense now the security general of nato has urged turkey to not further destabilize the region through its military action. On turkey to act with restraint. And sure that action may know that should go disproportionate mission. We must not jeopardize the games we have made to get the games over common enemy. Because this continues to pose a great threat to the media East North Africa go to. Nato secretary general stalins burg is expected to discuss this issue further with president are they don and stumble on friday now the United NationsSecurity Council is also planning to meet privately tomorrow morning to discuss the situation in syria now 5 European Countries including france germany and the United Kingdom have requested this meeting so here is the gist of it turkey is saying that they want to create a safe zone cleared of kurdish terrorists which also house some in turkey is 3600000 Syrian Refugees whove fled worn torn syria but those same kurds who are they gon is calling terrorists were key u. S. Allies in defeating the Jihadist GroupIslamic State in syria in fact the kurds are currently guarding thousands of isis fighters in prison and camps an area under their control so its really unclear whether the isis fighters will continue to be safely detained as many fear that the turkish incursion might lead to their resurgence of the extremists now already isis launching 3 suicide bombing against kurdish positions in northeast syria just this morning now even a pentagon and state Department Officials held meetings today to try to persuade turkey to abandon its expected invasion which seems of course too late now and this has caused so much criticism that even senator Lindsey Graham the Top Republican and ally or president is once again cautioned the president s decision to pull back u. S. Troops from Northern Syria. This is this is a great because its like i just today with president obama were present trouble about like you know why you know what about protecting the kurds they were our allies things like that he said literally well they didnt really protect us in world war 2. And they werent there at the invasion of normandy but weve still got people essentially a pair of. Blows my mind at the end of the day. Im happy to see troops but u. S. Troops leave we shouldnt be there in the 1st place but theres better ways to protect allies like that but allowing turkey to describe the border bombing the way. One of the things i think thats interesting is that we dont know at all the scale of this operation and marks the 3rd. Military operation that turkey has taken in syria and Northern Syria in 3 years so they keep going in there and as you said you know one persons terrorist is another persons Freedom Fighter i mean. This is. Very specifically like turkey is calling them terrorists but saying theyre going after isis saying theyre going after terrorists and if you didnt know thats who they were talking about you. This is this whole thing of whos definition of which is one of the reasons why we shouldnt be involved in these things and the way that we are because you have the p. K. You have you know the kurds have all of these different factions of different groups and depending on what side of the border youre working on what side of the border. These things very very different situations to everyone involved. And. Its crazy because you have senators here in the u. S. Who are pushing back saying that theyre going to sanction turkey which is then going to put them at direct i mean we all know sanction in country has done it does so much i mean look at theyve obviously like crumbled to america 3040 years. Hard. To break through and everywhere you see your paper pod cast. Coming up legal in new york media annals lionel opening bell been to the 10th anniversary of the balloon boy hoax that started the viral news and sanity youre going to david with today stay tuned to watch. And were going to fulfill repeated promises ok politics to the people and come on you know weeks or buts. You are a pretty. Pretty good. Now you want to 1st correct that. No. Longer. Be. Coming.

Since incarnation of this kid my son telling the feeling like youre still a magician. The son in the book didnt like the model but it had been a bunch of. The in the whole thing was you bozo the clown was a local politician. You know so you dont the last you know little of the young is there. So much more to see he choose to do so not to see. Her. On october 15th 2009 across our very young social media feeds came word of a 6 year old child trapped in a weather balloon 7000 feet in the air he family had told police and the media that their child and men seemed climbing into the basket of their experimental weather balloon that consisted of im not getting plastic tarps covered in aluminum foil held together with duct tape and string and as it floated over a mile in the sky or hour and a half traveling 50 miles the world watched and i mean of the world itll go over cable t. V. Especially c. N. N. For our workers and i as i work from home at the time even i was writing on facebook it turns out that i was completely a grows by this balloon thing completely moments later i you do what you did this balloon thing is repping my heart out please please do me ok. In the on the boy falcon heene it was ok because he had never been in the balloon at all the child had been hiding in the attic of his own home the entire time and it wasnt until wolf blitzer famously asked falcon live on air if he could hear his family calling 7 for him. When he was hiding in the attic that the truth was revealed and to hear you scream you know it felt your vulgar. Vulgar did you hear us calling your name at any time you did you did and why did you come out of. A. League game for your show did it for the show a mere month later in november of 2009 Richard Heene and pled guilty to the charge of attempting to influence a Public Servant for lying to them about the answer that he was sentenced to attempting to influence a Public Servant sorry 190. 00 days in jail 100 hours of Community Service and was ordered to pay 3036000. 00 in restitution however the News Business that salivated over the possible tragedy has not spent one single day reflecting on their part in making the hoax a National Sensation theyve paid no restitution for the lack of basic journalism instead theyve taken the industry down a very dark path and here to discuss the 10th anniversary of balloon boy and how it predicted the wreckage weve seen now across the news web skip is lawyer and media analyst lionel of i know media. I love this story. More than i talk to friends of mine i said you were balloon boy. Whatever happened we throw some of that because you used to tend to be historians war of the worlds in their mercury theater Clifford Irving rosie ruiz is a roll of these. Stories professional wrestling the work kayfabe all of this. This was some type of us psychosocial test it wasnt just a bad story and i think we learned a lot from this and you know what i mean the old e. B. s even had this been a National Emergency you would have been this was a test to see whether we could actually captivate everybodys attention and the answer is yes we can do that we saved this stupid story and the contraption that couldnt lift. Anything and this kid is saying repeatedly it was it was a lie. So i think we learned something. If this if we really put our minds to it we all can be connected the dots i mean. I want to its interesting in front of me. Clearly of bell magazine wrote in his piece balloon boy predicted the entire trash fired world were currently living in a great title for an article. That basically you could see it was it was as the start of an ongoing operating failure to react skeptically and proportionally to what turns up on our personal screens it was big news before we have the phrase a literal object lesson the commandeering of by burroughs by unchecked in influence i have to ask you do you right away do you remember where you were with when this story broke and do you agree with the premise that this was truly arbiter of things to come that this was a sign of what we deal with today on a day when there wasnt like the gary c. The kennedy assassination but it was a series of hours and i and i was walking out into the street with cars honking and i was saying but i dont think he could actually float from fort collins to but heres my question for you chicken or the egg is it in the media is it their fault did the media create this did we feed it back to the media who was responsible i mean no we clapping the stones or the stones playing for us do we encourage it i dont know but notice how these people now say well were looking back at this had mr whose its been there at the time he would have been a part and parcel of it but there was something to use the old crowd theory this is a goosed of the bone you know this idea that we were all like murmuring starlings in schools of fish we were psychically connected and by verge. 2 of you going back into the thread to help with that we lived there you were you not even embarrassed that a woman of your mental acumen your degree of mentation brobdingnagian mange intellect self forward book. I saw that i was like oh. Well you have to put that on television because i fell 400 percent at least for a little bit and then you see me like an hour later im going to tell you something i learned so much missing the point i think it tells its ok its a false alarm but but deep within the recesses in the of the bowels of this event being good we cared we were communal yeah it was harmless but if we want to Pay Attention we all could do it it can be done because i mean that was it you know when you heard you know Shepard Smith say 6 year old child i want to point out this though it would have been around the same time within a few months actually a very famous kanye. Man Video Music Awards taylor swift which became like sort of the beginning some say of our modern like me moment something happens and we repeat it we use it to put on things is is this sort of like going after this theres a tragedy theres a plane missing mares whatever about these moments when the media seems to just become we all seem to just become engrossed and we cant stop is this just sort of our newest version of if it bleeds it leads from like the poster and her it stays like we havent really of all that much so. I mean theres an entire channel devoted to murder so i mean listen why the knives. Are watching oh i want to scout oh yes i got oh yes somebody this is what this is what i think we love to analyze things i called the back iranian cheese effect meaning that we just like mad when he is why i dont know we just do this was in the vent and people said well it was interesting but you talk about it i t
