incumbant mentor waging war inside of afghanistan and what truly has become the war that never ends don't worry i won't sing the song this time the president under the auspice 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 will be later a being ice is crushing al qaeda preventing the taliban from taking over afghanistan and stopping mass terror attacks against america naturally the president was cheered on by the war hawks in the corporate media types who love the rating ratings points and profits 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 poetess in one of his most more forceful best lines of address the washington post white house bureau chief philip brucker also heaped praise on the trump tweeting tonight as a new president from big knowledge ing of flip flop and take them talking about 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 with the jake tapper's and lindsey graham of the world refuse to believe that more killing is not the road to peace. so just what road are we. let's find out and start watching hawks.

to. get the. real deal with. a lot of. what it looks like you know what i got. this. week. was over on the watching the hard science i roll but that's out of the wallet. oh great but we're going to do something and i've got a standard 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 regime seventeenth two thousand and six two thousand two thousand is this a new president news 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 gary three the curse of

the u.s. president is that they have to keep dealing with afghanistan i mean i wasn't so much money and i were trying to do farming as a fence 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 star about to tell us a bio of some of the amazing things we've been able to reconstruct and spend in afghanistan with our tax dollars are ongoing efforts there to rid the world of evil . well let me tell you about how we spent six million dollars on kashmir go to kashmir go and to me would get me pretty sweaters out of it. hurts. so the pentagon a pentagon task force had funded this purchase and transport of these specific very specific it was nine re or italian go so the idea was that they would breed these

goads with the native afghan goats and come up with some fabulous cashmere good straight cashmere sold 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 quote so john sako 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 and i caught a million people in 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 that twenty eight million afghan army uniform they were fabulous cashmere about a billion for school the congo schools schools with no teachers and no student love were eight and a half billion on poppy eradication which we haven't eradicate the bobbies there 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 a holy way to start the first place it's also just the human causes of the

supposedly you know isolationist president. he's older as more drone strikes and five times the rate of his predecessor we all thought iraq knew drove us drones and brought us the drug a man with a drone who currently trumps trying to break. every record and when it comes to drones. civilian casualties in the in the war against the islamic state are on track to double president. 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 how sensible it is with 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 no you've got you've got three generals kelly mcmaster and matt is the other key positions are 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. 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 but lost hope for the non interventionist policy as they tried so hard to avoid under a clinton presidency or chasing down dollars aria 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 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 game from partnering with our effort in afghanistan it has much to lose by continuing 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. i have a clear message to all oppositions you're not going to win militarily join peace and accept my he's full invitation to. the taliban meanwhile is vowing to continue fighting in the region until all american troops leave afghanistan for good. so you for coming out and talking about this rather interesting issue that obviously all of us of them following milkers point. what strikes me is yours is the same campaign rhetoric of you know don't telegraph troop numbers we're going to take the enemy by surprise as a play don't know that we're there. but he's also you know troops are certain times he's basically giving in to what the national secure his national security team wanted do you do you think he may be using this kind of language about really

committing verbal the public to what you know maybe they're asking of him in order to potentially is he going to do is he going to play some long game with them and around and pull us out of these four foreign wars is just kind of like giving them a little lip service last a little part of some serious plan and maybe giving the generals you know i don't know you ok but also are you have done since you were hoping that you know you got a little bit out there not the case and you're talking about his campaign rhetoric but the difference here though is that this was not part of his campaign rhetoric yes he blasted his predecessor for giving timelines and things like that and publicizing when we wanted to go when attacked but aside from that he has had a steady record of being against troops in afghanistan he was constantly saying during the obama years especially. during those peak troop numbers to pull out he's saying this is not in our national interests so he had

a steady record of that he held that same narrative through the campaign and into his election and into his presidency and even admitted last night he said my my own outlook and my own assumption was to pull out completely and he said and now i've changed my mind i went against my instincts and now i'm listening to my military leaders of course they always do for me about little leagues which gets. to keep them running exclude. will be warmongers go when they actually realize what they have to do and suddenly are faced with that it is very strange but this part of the world i think the strange part is sort of this idea of pakistan and afghanistan being part of this whole war and it's always been a complicated relationship where pakistan it with pakistan ever since the invasion especially due to when we found out that osama bin laden was very close to just miles from pakistan's capital so what do you think this complex

relationship between pakistan and afghanistan is going to magically. in much better now and can they find a way to work together here's the thing there's going to be there's a much different way of looking at this from north america as there is looking at it from the region and what's happening in the region is that neighboring countries are actually worried how far trump is going to push pakistan you know pakistan on the surface claims to want peace but their idea of peace is different than what the united states sees pakistan sees peace as the afghanistan government kind of coming to terms with the taliban have to remember the taliban is very active in the country of afghanistan and they're taking some of the dollars that the united states is spending to fund schools and medical services whether the ideological agreements are there or not is unclear at this point but pakistan would like to see more of a collaborative effort between the taliban and the afghan government. fact the u.s. is never going to let that happen so other countries are worried that trump might actually push pakistan too far and what does it mean to be threatening pakistan on

such a national and international level you know i just quickly i just have one question both of you very quickly explain to me again very quickly why we need to be there. and i don't i mean i asked i asked former cia agent jack rice last night about this idea of security threats being immense in this region i asked him really what are the security threats to the united states and to our national interests so it's just definitely a question to be asking when he's saying that americans first you know from all right well as we thank you so much for sound i'm always a pleasure to have you on the right as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r t v dot com and starting this monday august twenty eighth we're going interstellar we are going to be up in the atmosphere is watching the hawks and all your other favorite are two shows will now be airing on direct t.v. channel three twenty one later we come coming out of my costar with a wallace sos the seeds of knowledge of the current state of u.s.

farmers in our teens would you the song toast puts the spotlight on the acting scandals that have rocked and still town as of late stay tuned to watch and see. what you go shoot when you get you know it's you know that's another good morning and one million people died. he killed people even date you. know no one's come to in a few bodies around him and that's. the

two thousand and eight economic crisis turned some countries into pay. these were the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation or. even the recession. a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see there which is the. most a decade good of the results. in your duties of people. to watch. the numbers i mean. this is.

why at the same measure still in place. this is the truth the shooter this is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision. according to the u.s.d.a. economic research service agricultural resource management survey and the national agricultural statistics service as of march eighth twenty seventeen nearly ninety nine percent of u.s. 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 a 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 and how are current government policies affecting not only farmers but the price of the goods they produce three major areas of concern are. 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 us 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 that all living things on this planet climate change george'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 the peach and blueberry crop saw 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 and most successful farms often on family farms the house budget office 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 being. sugar cooperative told the high plains journal quote more frequent intense interest production costs along with lower commodity prices have increased risk and decreased incomes and necessitate a strong farm bill over the last few decades the u.s. 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 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 have most definitely is the wall is a shark that all the democrats and republicans do you know say a lot on the campaign trail promise farmers everything promised by a family farms everything and then just kowtow to begin their street noticed the cow. 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 we promise a lot we politically you know make

a lot of issues that we shouldn't and you can say there you go. you know i mean you would say it's between two thousand and twenty fifteen two thirds of corporate welfare subsidies went to fewer than six hundred bargepole believes that's incredible incredible and that's you see the exact same problem if we looked at those numbers from earlier is that you quite literally. there's 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 meaning 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 all going to the top one percent and they

aren't happening that quickly and it's mostly in the livestock in these areas not in fruits and vegetables and then we wonder why. you know. you know when you're talking about livestock and you know i know there's a world of worms you ball into badly you know it's also interesting what is subsidized and how they subsidize usually going to 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 bundy the turtle 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 ham and 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 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. well cow and calf per month where if you were doing that on private land it would be about twenty dollars so we were subsidizing this other nine thousand 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 amazing. but why am i subsidizing civilian use of the outlets all day. oh wow we found us to be
