This kind of lack of regard for who's financing elections and campaigns and politics country run the most jingoistic campaign against as you possibly can accused democrats of accepting donations from. I know name some boogeyman country We should pin this. Yeah this crazy Another one last week we talked about Boston celtics center and former guests on the show and his canter his criticism of the chinese government for its policy in tibet for the genocide against the whitacre's that advocacy online did not go over well in beijing. Streams of celtics games are now blocked in all of china. Well and it's triple down over the weekend tweeting. The genocidal chinese government and the insecure tyrant behind it all. Xi jinping must not be allowed to host the upcoming winter olympics. Say no to beijing twenty twenty two so this is a great story about just being like a full-throated advocate for human rights. And a ballsy one at that but also this is. we're gonna hear a lot more beijing. Two thousand twenty to boycott is coming. Is he getting minutes. I don't know because you're the guy. Because i haven't watched. Yeah he was kind of not getting minutes. And i was curious about that but clearly is just you know. There's a joy in his trolling on this. That that that that you know it doesn't few like i mean he's saying things often that everybody knows to be true that certain people never say right And so he's kind of testing the limits of of free speech really. But i think you're right to home in on this one point which is like this olympics questions. Not going away nocco. It's very reasonable. And i don't see how the momentum doesn't build towards a boycott like it's hard to see Given a lot of given the reality what's happening. The weavers and giving people standing up and expressing their views. Like this I it's gonna be a hard case to make against the boycott absent china taking some corrective action which there's a bad zero percent chance that they will so i think this is gonna be with us. Yeah i think i went to Espn to see if How this is doing in terms of minutes. It looks like he's averaging two points a game. They begin like five minutes. he's gone. Yeah you're gonna run. The real upside here was There was a video that just live played with cancer and other teammate. Peaking taco fall had a swim Talk bell for listeners. Who don't know as seven seven so it's very funny. That's good watching swimming pool anyway enough. Ask from us Ben the bravo series. The real housewives is coming to do by the capital of the united arab emirates. I wonder if the cast will include princess latifa al-maktoum the emir of dubai's daughter. She was the one who tried to escape from dubai in two thousand eighteen and then was kidnapped by some like commando unit when she was on a boat in forcibly returned to the country or maybe it will include some domestic workers who are traffic to the uae in our treated as slave labor. I'm guessing the won't be any gay cast members since homosexuality is illegal in consensual sodomy can get you ten years in prison in the ui. Also you can't drink alcohol. So what the fuck are they gonna do. What is bravo thinking. I mean you're not going to have the rose as subplots here. Real housewives xinjiang i. Yeah i i mean what you've seen in the past is like a lot of money spent by the emerets to almost subsidize some of the staff like and full disclosure. I am msnbc contributor but cnn. There are some stories recently about like they have a partnership with them released kind of promote the expos they're hosting but in some. This is just as journal partner the excellent. That's fine right. But then there's like all these stories and packages about come visit the emirates because it has it or did you see the thing online of like the tour of that hotel suite. That is like a the like in. I think it's in dubai. Gold leafed go. Yeah go everything. So they're selling this kind of luxury bran. Yes that is like you know what's kind of sad about it to be fair to the emerets like it's kind of an american league book. How rich and successful these people are and have perceived allies are just. Don't pay attention to all this stuff happening over here. You know awful. But i hope i am so glad you did what you did. Because it's like every time you see dubai. Abu dhabi just remember all those things you talked about bill. Slave labor gay people can't live the jail. Critics of the government founded have been foreign like phd students in prison. Because they didn't like the research they were doing it so it has the appearance of this kind of modern almost progressive society and then underneath the hood. It's exactly what's happening that idea bravo Ben did you notice that facebook changed. Its name last week to meta. I noticed catch this A lot very successful. I watched a chunk of that of that plan. If you lot siamese you ever have one that the contract. It was lots of hours of just like painfully awkward talking. Here's a funny story. So the bbc reported on the fact that meta sounds like the hebrew word for dead so twitter israel. Evan had a lot of fun with that. There we go. I mean like that. I mean i see good. Do you figured out what may be. Hell like hell may actually be mark zuckerberg metaverse. If you're bad. You do bad things in life and you die. Here's a. Just float into some room with mark zuckerberg apparition talking to you about. How cool new gadgets. Like poltergeists yeah going to the tv surreal. So this story mentioned some past translation errors by. Here's a few favorites When kfc went to china in the nineteen eighties their motto finger lickin good was translated into mandarin as eat. Your fingers off. That's going rolls royce. Had to change the name of a car called the silver missed because in germany. The name translated to silver excrement one. No kia's leumi. Afon was a misfire in spain because it translated to prostitute in some dialects in the honda fitter had to change his name because it translated to a vulgar name for by jonah in swedish socor printing. It's getting dicey here. I thought our pronunciations are bad. Can do a lot worse. You could do a lot worse Last topic for it gets kevin rudd The biden administration delayed. Can we get some spooky through war of the worlds sound underneath this. Please thank you. Had the by decision delayed the public release of thousands of documents that pertain to the nineteen sixty three assassination of president john f. kennedy so biden's team cited delays in the declassification review process. That were caused by the pandemic trump also delayed the release these documents back in twenty seventeen Understandably ben this has gotten a lot of people wondering about whether there's government cover up big chunks of the country already don't believe the kennedy was killed by alone gunman not likely that. There's a smoking gun file about to be released. It says hey did it. Or whatever. But i do think scholars think there could be information about you. Know the government's efforts to stop organized crime or the cia as failed. Covert actions In cuba trying to assassinate castro or whether we harvey oswald had ties to cia backed exiled groups..

"This is from patch dot com and a writer named carl baldwin. Made a write up of like a summation of. What's in all these affidavits. So okay it's a twenty point list and they're all just fascinating so we're going to go through them. Number one paulk narrow allegedly stole seventy thousand dollars from keith jennifer canario And he stole the money sometime between january of two thousand seventeen and the day of the murders which was November of two thousand eighteen says all pretty recent and then. Nbc later reported that in two thousand twenty asari. They reported in two thousand twenty. That jennifer's father glasses korea's. I'm assuming he's greek. Sounds like he's greek. Yeah i mean who's to say but he unfortunately came forward and said that jennifer had told him before her death that she and keith had discovered that paul was stealing their money from trust they had set up for jesse and sophia's college funds so basically their uncle was stealing from their own. They still their uncle. Sold seventy eight thousand dollars from their own college funds and according to jennifer it was closer to ninety thousand so Her dad came forward. And was like yeah. She told me They found out. Paul was stealing money directly from the children. Their own children okay. so number. Two the first police response the day Was at five. Am when police responded to a nine one one. Call that paul's home. At twenty-seven drive was on fire and when police got to the scene.

"Human rights abuses. Because you don't sell really really high end military grade spyware to the saudi government's and not know they're probably gonna use it in a way. That's maybe not totally on the up and up right. According to these reports the saudis actually used this to hack into the phone of jamal. Khashoggi's wife remember the saudi dissident The saudi government had executed They fascinated in the the saudi embassy in turkey. Apparently just days after that they hacked into the phone have democracies wife so that's completely terrifying and you know there are other really just disturbing things beyond just like the dissident and journalist which looked that alone is incredibly disturbing for free speech and for freedom of the press and for the ability of journalists and activists to hold their governments accountable. There's also some really creepy stuff. So princess latifa of the uae fled from her father on a yacht in two thousand eighteen She was eventually recaptured. Taken back to india but she was claiming that she had been subjected to inhumane treatment by her dad including beatings and solitary confinement. And apparently she's one of the people whose phones were hacked in by the government so as bad as it is not even just journalists and the kind of broader free speech thing is also like they can be used for anything if if if a random government official has access to the spyware and wants to spy on his ex girlfriend or his wife or his daughter. Bad is terrifying to me. So i think just the potential uses and abuses of. This technology is staggering. And you know. This is a company founded by people who were affiliated with the israeli military and security forces in remember at israel has conscription so lots of people are conscripted into these military and intelligence services. And then you come out and don't necessarily want to have a career in the military intelligence services but they have all this knowledge and israel is also very much a tech kind of innovation hub and his celebrates that fact and they also have a lot of interest in counter terrorism and spying for its own domestic and foreign policy resources so all of that put together brings this company that has like really really high tech military trade stuff that we're talking about here and what's interesting to me talk about this more in the second half know we will talk about you know what this means but there are questions that are now being asked about. Just the israeli government did the netanyahu government you know the previous israeli government. How much did they know about this company about their software about their clients. You know there's a lot of speculation that like. It seems unlikely that an israeli you know private company with this level of technology would be selling to governments like saudis and the emirati is without at least the tacit approval of the israeli government. Because that's really sensitive. So i think there are a lot of questions being raised by this massive investigation and kudos to the journalists and activists and reporters and researchers. Who worked on this. It's a massive sprawling investigation. That's been going on for months and just to be clear. You know that list of numbers. Suddenly they just got this list and jumped to the conclusion that weld all these people were hacked in they then went and looked at the actual phones. Many of these like jon said on this list and checked. There's a tool you can use to check for the spyware and found that many of them had been compromised. There were many others. That showed that they may tried to compromise. It but hadn't quite gotten in and then there were a bunch of others. That were kind of inconclusive. So again there's so much detail in research into this. It's it's pretty solid story that this is what happened so agenda and i want to add to that which i think is very significant. Is that in order for the group to sell this stuff internationally. In the way they've been doing. They require an export license from the israeli government. Right and the export license. According to the israeli defense ministry requires that they've sold to quote unquote government figures only for legal purposes and to prevent and investigate crimes into combat terrorism and this is dependent upon commitments regarding the end..

Now records the phone that she left behind in that bathroom but that's not all three days later. The twenty eighth we say. Three of latifah's friends pop up.

Taylor a british woman living in dubai data march i. That's the first day that have schober notices about falling them in the middle of the engine ocean and he thinks it's a bit weird because why would someone follow me here. One amounted z. And why they going at the same speed that i am so something changes between february twenty eighth and march the first the same day. We say taylor's number again along with another one of latifah's friends from the skydiving club then happens is even more extraordinary. Many ways over the next three or four days. The boats get closer and spotter planes start flying overhead as well second of march. We say the photographers one. More time along with taylor. And the second friend from skydiving club. Phosphor tomorrow the fourth there about twenty miles off the coast of a lot of what we know about what happened next on. That boat comes from latifah's friend tina. You're hunting. We have basically been on for eight days We're about forty miles of the ghost going to bed into the downstairs cabin so we're about an ten o'clock at night ten thirty at night. Run them and suddenly they just hear this loud noise bangs. That sounded like gunshots and suddenly there. The whole cabin was filled with smoke. Tuner latif side could lock themselves in the bathroom thinking. That'll help the smoke everywhere. The smokes asked come the more more more and kind of get to the point where they just have to get when they get out they find. There's a bunch of soldiers waiting for them armed commandos machine guns to drag the ground separated taunting onto the neck with decided the ropes on the side of the with. The they're pulling me off. I was fighting was hard set. Could the soldiers it turns out are indian. Army soldiers indian commandos. India military are out at sea clearly. Another desperate request to buy help us out. Help us out. I didn't have any weapon. So i was tied up against a lot of people with weapons. It wasn't easy and the last thing that latifah remembers being separated and then being drugged objective or some kind of this guy came with a small pouch like camouflage poach and he took up the and injected me and my arm and i was fighting. I was saying don't do that. Don't do that don't do that. That was when chiefs of past sunday for the custody of indians to the office. I thought they were going to kill me. Whereas latifah was acting extremely brave telling them to leave me alone and prince's latifah's just shouting shoot me. I don't want to be taken by. Don't take me back to divide should be here. Princess latifa daughter of dubai's ruler hasn't been seen for nine months. She's been seen in public for eighteen months for three days. The world has heard nothing from princess. Latifa i think she's a very bad place at the moment somewhere locked up. That was the last time anyone outside of the us soil princessa until june. This year when out of the blue nude photos of her posted on instagram we have a picture of latifah sitting where two women in a shopping mall in dubai one or two others. That look like they're in kind. Mole restaurants sometimes. She's smiling sometimes. He looks a little blank and then the final picture is a picture of her in the airport in madrid where she's just being on some kind of holiday. The photograph is taken to the apple and the first time that latif has traveled abroad in many many years but The woman is putting out these pictures and his appearing regularly as chenault. Tyler chenault taylor. You remember her for most people. That name wouldn't admit much. Dan sabbagh had been pouring over lake data for months. He knew exactly who that was. It was a real light bulb moment. Because what we've seen in the days after. She escaped australia and sort of from halfway from halfway through the trip. One of the names that comes up again and again this chenault taylor extrordinary because we also know that when the people that chief was messaging from the bone. We can't say for sure that the ua used pegasus to help recapture latifah or they even thought about it for that. We need to get access to her. Phones knows of her friends pretty much impossible but we do have a records which showed these numbers appear day. After day in the period she was on the run and we know that in some cases like in hungary and in india these phone numbers have two phones. The contained traces of pegasus. The says they were justified in pursuing latifah. Because as they saw it she was the victim of a crime they would say and they've said before they thought she has been kidnapped and that she had to be brought back safely and that was what mattered and been awful lot of questions about that especially in the light of the videos where she say look i am incredibly unhappy here and i've been tortured and i wanna get out and i'm a hostage and a this villa has been converted into jail or the windows are barred short. I can't open any window. I've been by myself solitary confinement no access to medical help. No child charge nothing and so latifah's dragged home. She's cut off from the world again from the perspective of the royal court. The problem might have been solved but latifah story was generating waves not just in the media but inside the family can do by something else. Interesting starts princess higher. One of shaykh. Muhammad so i think six wives she starts to get involved some extent and she does manage to visit latifur on at least one occasion and she started to ask questions about the to earn issue. Okay and is this right. Essentially what happens is she's going to tell certain terms tobacco but she doesn't back out This is david pegg. An investigative reporter with guardian takes up story to take an interest in what's happened to latifah. She starts trying to find out about how she's doing. She starts trying to arrange to meet her to visit where she's living and these inquiries go down. Well everything from here on. We know from a fact-finding judgment delivered by the family court shaykh muhammad disputes that judgment. He says it's a one sided account. But it says the shake and higher had been drifting apart as a couple.

"On saturday. The horse favored to win. This year is named essential quality the horse's owner sheikh mohammed bin rashid al-maktoum. He's the vice president and prime minister of the united arab emirates and ruler of the emirate of dubai. Some human rights lawyers don't want his horse to compete and they've made themselves known to the kentucky horse racing commission san marcus in is one of the authors of the complaint. He teaches law at the university of louisville brandeis school of law professor. Marcus and why should the shake and his horse be banned from the derby. Shaykh muhammad is a clear violator of human rights. He has been found by a british court to have abducted and beholding his thirty five year. Old daughter princess latifa since two thousand eighteen against her will after she tried to escape and all week asylum in the united states. He violated international law by seizing a us flag vessel in international waters using commandos hired by him for that. Purpose violates human rights and under our law here in kentucky that in hours. The horse racing commission here to bar him as someone who brings disrepute upon the horse racing industry. What is the update on his daughter. Princess latifa. when was the last time anyone heard from her. She has managed to smuggle out some videos. She has described her conditions for fear for her life that she is being held against her will but other than those videos. No one has seen her from outside of dubai other than mary robinson who attested to her belief that latifah was well but later acknowledged that she had been manipulated and regretted very much that she had made those statements. And calling for latifah's release you file the same complaint kentucky home and commission and twenty nineteen. It was not acted upon. Then what's changed since then and to suggest the outcome will be different this time. Well we don't know if the outcome will be different. The horse racing commission told us in twenty nineteen that they were not going to act based on what they called mir press reports of what had happened to latifah and that sheikh mohammed was involved now two years later we do have the british court decision that found these allegations to be true. That found the witnesses who attested to what happened when she was abducted to be credible and with those findings of a court of law we think that makes for a very different situation and puts the onus on the kentucky horse racing commission with they were implicitly saying was if there was a basis that they found credible they would act and now their opportunity to to actually do so and we think they need to sheikh mohammed is run ten horses in the derby since one thousand nine. How well known is a shaking kentucky like if you mentioned the shaked everyone know whom you're talking about. All no doubt that he is one of the most important people in the kentucky horse racing industry. His godolphin stables owned two breeding farms and they employ hundreds of people. They would absolutely no if anyone has any involvement whatsoever in horse racing. Ernie familiarity with horse racing. He would be as prominent and as well known as anyone. This side of bob baffert the trainer of six kentucky. Derby winners is a shake expected to be at the derby on saturday. He is not. We have been informed that he is not planning to attend and obviously his connections. The trainer and others with the stable will be there you know. We hope that people aren't sort of blaming the messenger that you know they feel like we're somehow diminishing or taking something away from the derby but instead look at shaykh muhammad as the reason why this is happening and hopefully joining the call that will hopefully at some point result in latifah being released san. Marcus teaches law at the university of louisville's brandeis school of law. He's one of the authors of the complaint filed yesterday to try to bar dubai shaykh muhammad and his horse essential quality from running in saturday's kentucky.

"Cannot be both a part of the island of ireland and apart of britain which has brexit it. It is a small place with a smaller economy. Mana population ailey problems that arise can easily be resolved if the was a will to resolve them. And i suspect that there isn't alto. I'll do erin do reading on this case and i'll return next week. Go ahead and make sure to date jamie in malaga. Go ahead jamie. Good evening georgia. Thank you for taking my call. Welcome sam i really just want to put in a big word for craig murray Who's the most amazing man. And he's being hounded by the scottish courts. He is a historian. A full. my ambassador for us beck exteme and a human rights. Activist made him several times outside the court. When he reported on the trial of julian assange and september outside the old bailey. And he's in an absolutely wonderful mind most amazing the courageous person who's always fighting against injustices and he supported the case in school in the scottish courts of alex salmond and has since then been charged with contempt of court and his case is being heard and he's waiting for judgment and we're very concerned that the In the actual case none of the evidence that he had was a a a large part of it was not able to be presented. And so again they may be an injustice in his case and he could end up going to prison for two years and having unlimited fine. You could call it. of course. i'm not in second place to you. In my admiration for the honorable murray. I have known him for a very long time. The matter is now before the justices in scotland. Who are mulling verdict. I think it would be compounding. The injustice suffered by alex salmond no to imprison practically the only journalists in the country. The actually fairly reported the alex salmon trial have contributed financially to craig murray his defense fund. I very much hope. His defense will prove successful. I have a slight feeling that it will have proved successful. And i hope i'm not wrong about that. But we influence the outcome. of course The justices will wear the case and and decide. But what i can say without. Fear of contradiction is that the entire scottish legal system now stands for a whole variety of reasons. Many of them not connected to politics as such in uttar disrepute never in the history of the scottish legal system. has it been in crisis like is today. it is in a state of disrepute. And it's about time that those responsible for bringing it into disrepute did at least one honorable thing and resigned from their posts last. Gold is norma in bristol go ahead hello george princess the now i spoke to you with when you had them carry a few years ago. It's i don't remember. But i did because it was on my mind and i heard that some her her stepmother princess haya said that this country about two years ago with two of children been. She's been in court also one of one of his wife's is a fugitive in london seeking the protection of britain. She has been granted asylum and so it seems like this schick muhammad isn't quite the english gentleman. He always affected to be easy if anybody in you as she lives. Do you think she'd been allowed an opinion about white. She fled not why but you know because she within syria for life she certain core or her representatives and basically. It's the same story. The princess latifa is telling namely that. This man is a demon. Why yeah i mean. That's asya related. I don. I mean the worst narrow if fences the actually dead. Because i mean it's only a a case in the world where there's lots of providence. But instead it an individual will. It's very suspicious. It's very suspicious. They haven't produced. I mean if you're be own our a say owner advisedly of a tiny principality and the united nations demands proof. The daughter of the ruler is still alive. It's extremely surprising that they have not provided that proof. Exactly yeah anyway george. This asari listen. You knew said you wanted suggestion very quickly.
