9:31 pm
monday night president drum took to the podium and the airwaves like presidents george w. bush and barack obama before him to once again pledge the united states's undying commitment to waging war inside of afghanistan and what truly has become the war that never ends don't or i won't sing the song this time the president under the auspices of not wanting to give away our plans to the enemy offered little to no actual information to the seventeen million plus who tuned in on what the next phase of you has the occupation of afghanistan will be he did proclaim however from now on victory will have a clear definition attacking our enemies obiter aiding isis crushing al qaida preventing the taliban from taking over afghanistan and stopping mass terror attacks against america. naturally the president was cheered on by the war hawks and the corporate media types who love the ratings ratings points and profits
9:32 pm
that dropping bombs on poor people around the world brings new york times journalist maggie haberman tweeted we are not nation building again we are killing terrorists says potest in one of his most more forceful best lines of address the washington post white house bureau chief philip rucker also he praises on the trump tweeting tonight as a new president trump acknowledging of flip flop and take them talking about the gravity of office history and substance but. despite the the cheerleading and back patting going on around capitol hill today now that president trump has firmly committed himself to the joys of the military industrial complex let's leave it to former congressman ron paul out of texas to cut through the fog of war and state will be jake tapper's and lindsey graham's of the world refuse to believe that more killing is not the road to peace. so
9:33 pm
just what road are we at let's find out and start watching the hawks. to. get a. real good look. at the bottom. like you that i got. this. week. was over on the watching the hard science i roll but that's out of the wallet right oh great but we're going to do something and i've got a similar killing terrorists killing terrorists i mean i'm sorry and as we know it you know what year is it two thousand and one no two regimes seventeenth two thousand and six two thousand and ten two thousand is
9:34 pm
a new president new story we're going into afghanistan we're going to get al qaeda we're going to stop the taliban we're really presidents now barry three the curse of the u.s. president is that they have to keep dealing with afghanistan and they have no one so much money and all we're trying to do harm is offense usaid all these other agencies the state department has spent seven hundred fourteen billion billion with a b. of war and reconstruction efforts to war and reconstruction in afghanistan since two thousand and one and what we've gotten is not a whole lot we've heard some really bad. things go i don't know that we reconstructed much of anything or start with a tell us a bio some of the amazing things we've been able to reconstruct and spend in afghanistan with our tax dollars and our ongoing efforts there to rid the world of evil well let me tell you about how we spent six million dollars on kashmir goats. and didn't even give me pretty sweaters out of it. so the pentagon
9:35 pm
a pentagon task force had funded this purchase and transport of these specific very specific it was nine re or italian guts the idea was that they would breed these goads with the native afghan goats and come up with some fabulous cashmere make straight cashmere solid around the world blah blah blah the project director quit. most of the goats in fact all of the goods i think died or got sick so they were used. and here's one really good so is the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction or what they call sigur. stated quote and i'm not sure flying italian goads into afghanistan was exactly what the founders had in mind when they created a standing army for the united states. no i don't think flying in nine coats was the was the plan nor is that a good way to reconstruct a neck on
9:36 pm
a million people and farmers i mean i guess i kind of understand where they were going but not a point we were in silly thirty six million was it was on an unused command center so they spent all this money to build about twenty eight million afghan army uniform so they were a fabulous casmir about a billion for school the congo schools with no teachers and no students love were eight and a half billion on poppy eradication which we haven't eradicate the bobbies very doing great though eight point five billion since two thousand and two just to get rid of the poppy trade and last time i checked our poppy trade is doing great. you know not just of dollars and cents which are a big deal with a lot of money we've wasted and where when not does not mean that the people of afghanistan don't deserve schools and farms and these things they do they should get them if we spend that money it's a joke to sit there and say we spent all this money to help you when i'm sick goats and. you know maybe not dropping bombs on them is a gadget a story that's
9:37 pm
a holy way to start the first place it's also just the human causes of the supposedly you know isolationist president or the subsidy where he's authorized more drone strikes at five times the rate of his predecessor we all thought iraq knew drones drones and brought the drug a man to the drone who apparently trumps trying to break up. record and when it comes to drones. civilian casualties in the in the war against the islamic state are on track to double their president trial and that's according to air wars been following that for quite some time who are very biased they are going after obama and you know our use of drones and sensibilities we've been killing and it's not surprising when you look at what is in the. you know his his cabinet of swamp filled. those are not noninterventionist know where you got your three
9:38 pm
generals kelly mcmaster and matt is the other keepers there's obviously tillerson. oil c.e.o. and then wall street executives. gary coleman and wilbur ross you know what you basically have this kind of combination i mean let's be honest when you have a combination of military industrial corporatism well that is fascism but that's what's been going on in washington for the last you know thirty years forty years this is like meeting of corporatism and bashes him and clearly continuing the afghanistan war is what they want in terms pretty much giving it to him in. last night's speech signaled a major shake up in the long lasting war in afghanistan during his prime time policy speech the president that when the sixteen year battle but offered little detail beyond increasing troops and lifting military restrictions the call to arms also sparked anger and dismay among the president's core supporters who have all
9:39 pm
but lost hope for the non interventionist policy as they tried so hard to avoid under a clinton presidency are chasing down dollars arya joins us to report on not only how his actions contradict his previous promises but also threaten to expand it beyond afghanistan supporters. in his first formal address to the nation as president donald trump acknowledged the frustration felt over decades of middle east involvement the american people are weary of war without victory. nowhere is this more evident than with the war in afghanistan the war in afghanistan will enter its seventeenth year this fall so far the us has suffered twenty four hundred military deaths now troop levels in the country have gone from just a few thousand at the start to a peak of one hundred thousand in two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven and then slimming down to roughly eighty four one hundred troops by the time president trying to go over as commander in chief from monday's announcement we
9:40 pm
learned troop levels will again rise but we do not know by how much or in what capacity we will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for further military activities conditions on the ground not arbitrary timetables will guide our strategy from now on seemingly taking aim at former president barack obama for giving deadlines to his strategy in the country it's not the first time trump has disagreed with his predecessor on how to handle the war in the past trump has advocated for complete withdrawal but now that he sits in the oval office he's changing his tune not only is the increasing involvement in afghanistan he's putting neighboring countries on notice like india to help and most notably taking aim at pakistan pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in afghanistan it has much to lose by continuing
9:41 pm
to harbor criminals and terrorists like afghanistan any plane with pakistan is short on detail the regional leaders are urging against pushing the country to hard as for afghanistan its president is pleased with renewed u.s. support as the government there loses ground against insurgents. have a clear message to all oppositions you're not going to win militarily join peace and accept my peaceful invitation to. the talib. and meanwhile is valid to continue fighting in the region until all american troops leave afghanistan for good. solid thank you for coming out and talking about this rather interesting issue that obviously all of us have been following this point. what strikes me is the use of the same can campaign rhetoric about you know don't telegraph troop numbers we're going to take the enemy by surprise if they don't know that we're there. and but
9:42 pm
he's also you know true to a certain sense he's he's basically giving in to what the national security national security team wanted do you do you think he may be using this kind of bag language about not really committing verbal leon public to what you know maybe they're asking of him in order to potentially is he going to do is going to play some long game and then and around and pull some. the national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a tornado warning for southeastern berks county in eastern pennsylvania west central montgomery county in southeastern pennsylvania north central chester county in southeastern pennsylvania until ten pm at nine thirty nine pm a severe

9:48 pm
farms are family owned and make a gross cash farm income of less than one million dollars per year they also provide nearly ninety percent of the share of production and according to the u.s.d.a. u.s. farm income is expected to fall for the fourth year in a row so what are the reasons that in our current government policies affecting not only farmers but the price of the goods they produce three major areas of concern are immigration and subsidies and trade so the recent crackdown on undocumented immigration by the republican administration has forced some farmers who were once able to utilize less expensive migrant labor from mexico are now facing labor shortages that n.b.c. news reports will leave thirteen million dollars worth of crops to rot in just two california counties this year immigration reform supporters call this a win since those jobs are now available to us citizens at rates above minimum wage with paid time off and even for a one k. retirement plans but despite decades of cries from the right that immigrants are stealing our jobs u.s.
9:49 pm
citizens aren't taking them now that they are available even food to rot raising the price for consumers at the grocery store also hurting consumers is the greatest threat to humans and all living things on this planet climate change georgia's world famous peach crop was nearly decimated this season due to excessively warm winter and a hard freeze that occurred in early spring now both of peach and blueberry crops eighty percent loss in yield which cost farmers in georgia over three hundred million dollars and you just might need a mortgage to afford that this year in the wake of california's record shattering heat wave that battered the crop so into less expensive imported avocados hit the market one piece of the fabulous fatty fruit will cost you double so how is the government helping farmers and consumers in the battle from farm to table well some are calling to end the farm subsidies entirely since they usually only go to the biggest. most successful farms often on family farms the house budget office
9:50 pm
directed the house agricultural committee to identify at least ten billion in cuts over ten years but instead of ending things like costly subsidies to what many call cadillac crop insurance for big farmers they will make cuts to food stamp programs sugar beet farmers in minnesota are struggling to survive due to cheap sugar from mexico that was illegally brought into u.s. markets despite trade agreements against it peter said of the southern minnesota sugar cooperative told the high plains journal quote more frequent and intense weather patterns rising interest rates and production costs along with lower commodity prices have increased risk and decreased incomes and necessitates a strong farm bill over the last few decades the us government has given over one hundred billion dollars in farm related subsidies and loans to big corporations the literal one percent of agriculture the u.s.d.a. spends have the billion dollars annually to market meat and dairy products to americans and yet while they make so much hay that we're supposed to eat more
9:51 pm
fruits and vegetables they hardly help or subsidize those industries at all so the cold hard truth is that both republicans and democratic politicians in washington have spent the last thirty years ballen to special interests and lobbyists but we need to remember that the fight for farmers is a fight for all of us. that of most definitely is the wallace and i'm not shocked that all the democrats and republicans do you know say a lot on the campaign trail promised farmers everything promised by a family farms everything and then just kowtow to begin their street notice the cow pun. but you know we're talking about afghanistan earlier it seems like oh you know let's send a bunch of money and send a bunch of troops over there while the basic core of our country rotch the garden of plenty that is the united states of america the rolling green fields just rotting rotting from the inside apparently because we can't get our farming right
9:52 pm
we promise a lot we politically you know make a lot of issues that we shouldn't even say there you go. you know i mean the usa has between two thousand and twenty fifteen two thirds of corporate welfare subsidies went to a few of them six hundred large companies that's incredible incredible and that's you see the exact same problem as we looked at those numbers from earlier is that you quite literally there is this idea that just gets all that all your food comes from all farms or just those big corporate conglomerates and everything else but that's not the truth the biggest chunk of farms in the united states are family owned meeting the operator the owner is related to those you know they're related to each other or that they own it. but that's the thing we look at fruits and vegetables and these things that are so we're paying all this money to import cheap avocados from somewhere else when we could be subsidizing farmers here and it's simple it's operational cost that's what other countries do. but our subsidies are
9:53 pm
all going to the top one percent and they aren't happening the people who need it and it's mostly in the livestock in these areas not in fruits and vegetables right which and then we wonder why. i'm reading here and you know. you know when you're talking about livestock and you know i. this is one of the ones you've been following too badly you know it's also interesting what is subsidized and how they subsidize these looking of luxury items as opposed to be items with we all want to we all enjoy this is one of the things that always bothered me about the hammond issue that led to the sunday times over takeover in oregon. the thing that never got talked about this idea that you know these were farmers being you know so downtrodden by the government and that they weren't helping them when in reality what the hammond farm does and what the bundy's do is they raise a very specific kind of beef cattle these are japanese beef cattle known as wild
9:54 pm
goo or kobe there this idea of just taking all these fancy japanese beef and bringing those breeds here you know what they're doing is we're paying those those subsidies which are grazing fees the bundy's cattle were grazing on federal land getting at these dirt cheap prices about a dollar thirty five a cow. cow and a calf per month where if you were doing that on private land it would be about twenty dollars a we were subsidizing this other nineteen dollars that they didn't have to pay but what they're creating is something that is the big deal it's not going to put beef and good hamburger and good things for for us consumers in your average grocery aisle it's going for a luxury item that is in top restaurants five star restaurants for an average of one hundred dollars a pound now it's great being if you're and don't believe it's a ray is a high quality of beef but why am i subsidizing civilian lives without it so days.
9:55 pm
