say it so when the prices for a fee goes you have the meat corporations on these industrial farming corporations are hormel isn't tyson and producers are going to ultimately have to going to pick up somebody is going to have to pay for that increase in corn for in the corn prices for commodities because they're going into biofuel so then you look at the fact that they're just it's not a very green alternative to gasoline so because of the use of water and fertilizer so. in a lot of people say it's just about equal to gasoline as far as greenhouse gas well really look at it there was a two thousand and eleven study from tepper school of business at carnegie mellon university and what they found was that using corn based ethanol resulted in a. twenty percent greater greater greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline and that's simply because you're using fertilizer it's the process and you're tearing up the earth which again brings out the you know to which makes mars a greenhouse gases we grow food anymore i would urge or we need to cheaper food we

don't need cheaper biofuel they subsidize armors to make food to grow food for people so that poor people can have a vegetable once a very good record rodgers build a good point as a kind of record rodgers don't forget the what is the use of the property over the place we're going to see our full silver dollar to dot com coming up america's lawyer himself like preparatory orders for us to ship some light on a new report by human rights watch highlighting longed for sleep. shadow we practice through something called a little instruction stay true to the. word call it mind your year again better because like nine hundred rock there said this was their year toy such a to go to all kinds of crew. yes you guys did yeah it sure does carriage very

thing a bit of a pullback. but it's rather stand here from us and. move from what i saw. i know that our men are more trouble than there are brothers you know plus i thought the four of four of them had a kid and. i'm going to let them but i don't touch him any i can manage it and. i don't lose a child for truffle is not it living. beyond words then now mind my michelle the times i know it does you know the family owned my the. number set up around the hay for no one else and doing.

thank you. in an age of constant political turbulence in the permanent outraged culture many of us often take solace in having a rather solidly written constitution that protects our speech religion voting rights and a right above all to due process at least that's what they taught us in high school because apparently ideals and reality may diverge in today's legal world you see according to a report out this month by human rights watch the federal government is deliberately concealing methods used by intelligence or law enforcement agencies to identify or investigate suspects including methods that may be legal and then creating a different story about how agents discovered the information leading to defendants going to prison without ever knowing enough to challenge the potentially rights

violating origins of the cases against them legal asked her to refer to this alarming trend as a parallel construction and it doesn't seem like her hyperbole to call it the single greatest threat to our constitutional right to due process to help us understand just how commonplace this practice is and how serious it may be we're joined today by my pap and tonio host of america's lawyer and veteran trial attorney welcome michael how are you could be here while you're there you know that this doesn't seem quite as simple as the nice clean cut investigations from say your law and order t.v. shows that you can can you take us through this practice of what are your parallel construction what what is that what is that exactly but well the process are calling pirlo constructions a very clear violation of a person's fourth amendment rights i think with the laid out very well our law enforcement and intelligence agency and that they seem so hell bent on sending people to prison that they've completely thrown out the constitution i mean there's

no way to analyze. this without saying it's violent of clearly violative of so many parts of the competition because when law enforcement or intelligence agencies break the law judges typically prohibit prosecutors from introducing evidence that was obtained is result of those illegal operations that's why we had so many stopgaps that developed in the sixty's everything from search and seizure laws to mirandizing people all of these things were were put in place because we understand that left unchecked law enforcement seems to seems to devolve they fall they fall to the lowest operating level and so history history has always shown us that and so in the sixty's we've the supreme court had had to get involved and they had to say we need to stop some of this so what's happened here this is a throwback this is a throwback kind of approach to getting to creating

a probable cause parallel construction removes an incentive for for law enforcement to play by the rules because all they do is they throw out a big net they listen to they listen to telephone conversations they spy on you with cameras they've got tons of there's no limitations to how this is used that's that's the point you don't want to miss there's no there's no limitation that says well we can't use it for this device but we can use it for this device think of it like this if you were to take this into into account it's almost as if everybody right now i mean anybody with a brain is afraid to talk in front of a lexus about anything that significant lawyers are having remove them from their offices for god's sake ok so take private contractors that then become part of this is throwing out in that in saying ok we caught this person a talking to person b. and there they were talking about drug exchange now we weren't listening to this for that reason we were said that we were doing this because we're we're worried

about terrorism. in that conversation they find out there's some exchange so what do they do they wait outside of b.'s house and then there's b. drives away they try to come up with another element of probable cause to arrest a and b. together even though it was the probable cause that exists is all based on what we what we call will that sooner the poisoned fruit which was the first time that they heard the conversation so i although this is just a back door way of getting round everything's been established all the way back to the sixty's to protect american citizens and criminal conduct oh is this it is this that if this happens to someone you know regular citizen is this a matter of getting a really really good defense attorney who really understands and is competent in this field or in some ways our side these tactics essentially

unbeatable in court. well no they're beatable but it takes a lot of money the people who are most affected by this are people who can afford to go out and buy the best legal counsel they can to handle the probable cause the issue and to suggest that this is in the illegal search and that the evidence should be thrown out that takes a lot of work now when there's a pattern of practice like we're talking about here when this actually goes into full tilt you'll have police divisions all over this country all the way from the f.b.i. to your local sheriff's office that in some way are going to be using this information and they're not going they're going to know that billy bob down the road is involved in moonshining you know because they heard they heard some conversation between billy bob and somebody else so they're going to find another way to get the billy bob by way of probable cause here's the bigger picture and this is why your show can't overemphasizes i tell you this is sincerely as i can the issues that you talk about on your program about issues like deep state concerns what do we what

happens when we have an f.b.i. that is spinning out of control and using thinks well clearly you know like this like this this very issue of parallel construction what what happens when we fail to do what we did in the seventy's with the church hearings it's time for more hearings like listen you have a corrupt agency name it not mean you know f.b.i. cia is there any one of them that you would say yeah they operate by all the all the rules so you have corrupt agencies all the way down to the local sometimes depending on where you're located in the united states your local police departments that are corrupt in many many ways this is a tool that they have now to use in so many ways along with things that you've talked about on the show in addition to that but the point here's the point i'm making the point is it's time for church hearings to start again look what's in the news today the story stories that you've covered just in the last few days you've got the you know of course the the russian fraudster. the fraud about the hacking

where did that come from the f.b.i. the f.b.i. story about about documents disappearing the g.p.s. dos years story the new news memo i could go on i've got a whole page of this stuff what does that tell you it tells you that it's not just a symptom anymore what's happening is this is fundamental and you have to have something that looks like the church hearings that where we found out this j. edgar hoover cat you know dresses up like carmen miranda lives with his mother nut case a total nut case is running government out of fear and out of this very type of thing out of taking information and using it where he wants he's that's where we are now and for the american public not to understand how serious this is the only way they'll see it is massive hearings that look just like the church hearings where we start calling these people to testify about all parts of this because they're all connected well let me ask you this mike you know you bring up you know we need the

church here and i love that idea and i think we need to start you know really getting to the root of this and really saying let's let's do the reset button let's start over root all this out how do we get the ball rolling how does your average citizen get that ball rolling to start with judges does it where does the bipartisan work and be american law good attorneys where can people start and start making these changes and making that difference to make this happen. unfortunately it takes it takes people like church that had enough courage to say look i'm a i'm going to cross party lines i'm not republican i'm not democrat i'm just saying that democracy is at risk here so frank so frank church started off with hearings that at first looked innocuous and then as they grew we started finding out these different layers that are being unloaded not by not by corporate media these days corporate media is part of the problem but they're being unloaded element by element on social media on programs like yours programs like mine where

we talk about it and of course you know the corporate media says well geez this isn't something that we should be talking about well it takes courage you got to find a senator you've got to find a house rep that has the courage to say that i'm going to go and i'm going to make this an issue that requires hearings and the hearings not just about any one of these parts they're not just about you know the missing f.b.i. documents now that it's a horrible story they're not just about that they're not just about komi or mueller or all the all the intricacies involved in those characters they're looking at the whole picture and saying we have a deep state that is worse than anything we've had in american history since the one nine hundred seventy s. in which time that we clean house again that's the point i'm making and it could happen with just a couple of senators with courage the same type of thing that frank church did and honestly i'll tell you this right now as as our arcane as it may sound letters and

constituents putting pressure on senators still does work today they still get they will still listen to the people if the people besiege their offices with enough calls to make that happen and saying hey let's let's do this let's get that foot forward let's do that and electing the right people all say right here now we've got to start electing the right people to office throw out the democrat republican elites roll them out start getting in people who you know are out there. fighting for you at the end of the day i think that's the most they give you a little bit of time left about a less than a minute what's your final thought on the subject you all want to i want my final thought isn't this an irony ok here we have the deep state that wants to target trump they want to dismantle everything that we've done in the democratic process in electing a president i did electing i didn't vote for him but he is our president so they go after him in the process all these layers are unfolding and every layer is uglier than the next one and so is these layers unfold be careful what you ask for

democrats john podesta hillary clinton f.b.i. cia be careful what you ask for because in the end it might tell us an awful lot about what you're doing it seems far more significant that most employers might happen tony america's lawyer thank you for always coming on and illuminating us on this subject matter. thank you. on march twenty fourth one thousand nine hundred forty two a photograph of one may only parker freely appeared in newspapers as part of a story about how the women working at the alameda naval station during world war two were giving up fashion for the fashion of safety clothes on the job in it ms harris pulled up in a very familiar current chip and for sixty years naomi thought she looked an awful lot like the famous an iconic rosie the riveter it took until a decade ago to be proven by seton hall researcher and professor james campbell that naomi was indeed the inspiration behind rosie know me parker fraley passed

away from cancer last week at the age of ninety six but her impact will remain she told people magazine once quote the women of this country these days need some icons if they think i'm one i'm happy naomi were thank you because we were happy to have her and she said rowe and all the other rosie as we thank you you stood up in a time of crisis and just showed exactly what women are made from leave out of our shoulders remember in this world we are not told we love the rough sorts all you wall i love you i am tired rover and i'm top of the wallet people love watching those talks of the great big and. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i decided like everything was

ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch who was made entry to prison so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and want. real side effects. was just too literally all to what i did was done on a cocktail of little trucks. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. when lawmakers manufacture consent instinctive public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. when the primary go around the lives only the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signal.

going to the real news is really. one of the child's seemed wrong but all roles just don't all. in the world get to shape out just a constant advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. yes i was pretty good with police are a couple of you come. up in the last election i believe will do it so well mostly we don't and we will all so you will but you

know one of the most of them will push it out so clicking ok if. you do the a model of the scots move even who could still be financially fugitive easy childress e.q. the stage. he was mostly on the bench. the secret of the wind machine you can you get other cool things up and you tell us maybe did i miss all my suspension of us they. were it will. be updated a million times didn't cut it in a. couple

of. russia calls for a new international probe into syrian chemical weapons attacks after the us secretary of state claims moscow bears responsibility for all such crimes regardless of who carried them out. protests broke out across with the wind against the gathering of the rich and powerful at the world economic forum in davos. the us government confirms that several americans were among the twenty two people killed in a taliban assault on a hotel in the afghan capital. the latest on these stories you can head to argue dot com stay with us for crosstalk discussing the recently updated u.s. military strategy.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle days ago the u.s. secretary of defense james mattis updated and revived america's global defense strategy it is a dark vision of the world and calls for a massive defense spending what he calls a defense strategy critics say is a blueprint for wars without it. cross talking endless wars i'm joined by my guest michael de la hosts in washington he is a professor of strategy at the johns hopkins university also in washington we have christopher wayne he is a former army police sergeant iraq war veteran and contributor to the hill newspaper and in personal we crossed to philip giraldi he is a former cia counterterrorism specialist who is now executive director of the

council for the national interest or a generally cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want to i always appreciated philip let me go to you first and percival i read the report and i and i will repeat what i said in my introduction i found it to be rather dark vision of the world is less about defense strategy then preserving or advancing had gemini around the world and i find it remarkably lacking in any kind of discussion of international law go ahead philip. well yes i mean international law did not enter into it yeah it is not a as it describes itself a defense strategy it's an often strategy and essentially what it does it takes away any genuine threats against the united states and against the american people like isis and its shifts the defense burden onto being competitive with other countries in the world most specifically russia and china and the centrally it

creates. a case if you want to call it that for spending vast amounts of more money on defense basically to promote american interests which have nothing whatsoever to do with defending the country ok well that was my reading as well michael weigh in on that ok of course and i think we would all agree that the united states has the an adversarial relationship with russia and china i can accept they all have their own national interests and they will pursue them wherever the way shifting away from terrorism taking away even talk of the climate i got this feeling we need a point we're going back into the nineteenth century of great power struggles here but difference is these powers have nuclear weapons go ahead michael. well this is primarily an exercise in strategic rhetoric and as such it lays out

a kind of highly aggressive ceremonial strategy what you might call a fierce face strategy and that is simply because the u.s. has entered a historical period where its leadership is declining and will eventually find itself say like spain did in the early seventeenth century in a position where it can no longer orchestrate the kind of hedge i'm on expand this that hit had come to define itself on and so my sense is the u.s. is staking out highly aggressive histrionics and theater in order to maintain others fear and in order to cloak the increasing insecurity that we feel because as as you said peter although we are pursuing a kind of endless war strategy as spain found out in the seventeenth century

endless war feeds on itself and at the very end of that you're kind of used up and that's where we are now we're entering into a kind of twilight period that may last as long as it did for spain as long as forty years before we finally give up and say well we can't do this anymore ok chris or let me read some of the words from james mattis when he was introducing the report here but i found quite bewildering here to those who threaten america's experiment in democracy if you challenges you it will be your longest and worst day so what does this have to do with national security i mean who is attacking america's democracy other than the democratic party cheating bernie sanders and possibly the d.o.j. trying to undermine in a legally elected president of united states i find it really quite galling that the defense secretary is talking about democracy when one can make the supposition

that it's very challenge in the u.s. itself go ahead christopher. sure i think that you know secretary madison is a marine he understands war i understand war and i think that taking this position he's asserting himself he's establishing a tenner on the on the global stage and we're just sort of stating the obvious that these are global powers on the on the end of a long history i mean post world war two the main power players have in some ways stayed the same but the u.s. role has expanded i actually look at this a little bit differently in reverse and i think we want to the u.s. is focusing on nucular deterrence and the idea of this strategy is focused back on deterring nuclear powers namely north korea from continuing to be aggressive while reducing endless war i think we've seen i think russia and the united states as both seen the experience of endless combat with forces that are sort of magic things like isis you know we there's ways to control those without having those endless conflicts so it's

a recalibration focused on principled security networks in asia and preventing those kinds of conflicts and yes china and russia are powerful nation states they're sovereign and and those who are the traditional you know sort of power players and so we're just focused on the basics ok you know philip can i read to you some more own words from the from the secretary quote we will develop it during coalitions to consolidate gains we have made gains i repeat gains we've made in afghanistan iraq syria and elsewhere to support the lasting defeat of tears as we sever their sources of strength and counter bearing a balance iran i mean gains i don't know what he's talking about whatsoever the candidate trump said that he didn't want to go down the path of nation building well the united states now is involved in nation building in part of syria ok that it path is being continued here i can't see any gains in the countries that i just mentioned i don't know what he's talking about philip. you know i don't either i think that he's completely delusional if there's another comment in the report or

by mattis where he said the report basically says and confusion by the russians chinese and iranians between civic issues and military issues now what country in the world has has confused civic and military issues more than the united states so i really don't get this i think that there's certainly have been no gains nothing but disasters in those countries that he cited and there's other stuff in this report i'm sorry it's not a conventional allaying gallup of american strategy moving forward. it's this is more so a a a ticket for mischief on the part of the. administration and if there's a if we go to the issue of nuclear weapons obviously nuclear weapons should be a major issue and there's a common here that basically says that to you in the report that the united states

when confronted with with the issues of national importance like the standard of living of americans will be able to use nuclear weapons in a first strike capacity and this is quite incredible stuff and that's a good in that kit includes countries that do not have those kinds of weapons i would like to point out is well ok michael you know i'm really kind of confused here is that and i want to ask the same question of christopher is it is this donald trump's foreign policy because it's very it's stark contrast to what he ran on ok everything that's going on right now from from yemen to syria again rand is in being targeted here i mean it seems to be such a continuation there doesn't seem to matter who's the president of the united states it's the deep state the decides who our enemies are and how those they will be dealt with. ok because i do i can't the contrast is so great that i've never

seen it from a candidate to a president in my lifetime go ahead michael. well candidates get captured when they move from the campaign and from their own voice however authentic or inauthentic it is and then they get a subservient into the imperial world view of the imperial city and the courtiers or the deep state if you want to call it that instead reshape their worldview and in many ways the over arching sensibility in washington today in terms of strategy is one of tremendous anxiety and insecurity now and so a grandstanding strategy a grandstanding strategy that looks like it's doing things that looks aggressive like the war on isis it's all a wonderful kind of demonstration and display the u.s. is not going to risk a big war with either china or russia but it will grandstand hence the ten.
