forum is taking place in moscow it started june fourth and ends on the fifth to help us get a more international look at the world as artie's caleb joining us all the way from moscow thank you for joining us you gave us some remarks there and if we have time i want to ask you about those because they were really eloquent but before we dig in can you explain to all the boom busters out there who may not know what the forum is and who was in attendance. well over one hundred different countries were represented and this was essentially a gathering of lawmakers from around the world people that hold seats in parliaments and national assemblies and legislative bodies in different countries and they gathered to discuss and talk about the ongoing issues facing lawmakers in the current atmosphere one hundred different countries represented and they gathered here in moscow it was quite a conference we heard many different voices from many different corners of the globe
2:05 pm
a lot of exciting stuff now it's interesting to note you know we saw you know we had speakers from indonesia we had speakers from both north and south korea were represented here now the united states was invited both houses of the u.s. congress the house of representatives and the u.s. senate were both invited to participate but they and fortunately declined so the usa did not send any lawmakers to this huge international conference i know you were a very active it's late late at night over there now and i know you tweeted from over there but one of the big things to make international headlines was of course the president trumps announcement to hit allied nations and various other nations with tariffs and and there in russia with economic sanctions which have been going on for several years what has been their reaction from the attendees with regard to the latest round of trumps sanctions and tariffs. well we heard from the chairman of the russian state duma he opened the conference welcoming legislators from around the world and when he spoke he specifically called out the economic
2:06 pm
sanctions described them as basically an attempt to you know bully countries around the world into doing what the usa wants and from there he actually said that this shows that russia needs to strengthen the eurasian economic union and try to work with other countries around the world to kind of overwhelm and are overcome while what's being what's being pushed by the united states furthermore many countries emphasize that the continued use of sanctions by u.s. leaders shows the need to build up the brics and the alternative bodies that are emerging in the global economy and that basically as countries see the usa impose these tariffs and and sanctions and different things that this shows that basically countries need to start trading with each other there needs to be more of what you might call a. you know just just just kind of you know countries trading with each other and not depending on the united states give and take always works best in a free market and we like that in the us and we should embrace that
2:07 pm
a little bit more than we have it seems to me but what other economic discussions have been happening there did that seem to be any particular economic policies discussed between the a ten ten days. well in russia there are state run mining corporations have been working with different countries especially in the african continent to help develop their own manufacturing and their own industries for example we heard from guinea the african nation of guinea the speaker of their parliament described how you know russia has been there working with them to develop their own mining companies and their own mining system and they are actually helping guinea to work towards a long term goal of developing and producing its own aluminum domestically and that would be a huge achievement for this historically impoverished african country to have its own alumina manufacturing and that russia has taken great lengths to help them work toward this ultimate goal and so we heard a lot about russia's involvement in economic development in different countries around the world specifically and you know whether it's related to gazprom ross
2:08 pm
nafta in their role in the energy markets but also in mining and metal manufacturing well it seems a little bit maybe russia and china are singing from a similar song with regard to trying to develop economic ties with others in hopes of creating better a-y. and those while the u.s. is perhaps pulling back caleb i want to shift back to what you told the audience there just briefly before we run out of time i watch what you said and again think it was eloquent but can you give our viewers a quick taste of what you told the audience in attendance there. well i was invited to participate in the session regarding the issue of media and freedom of speech and how these kind of things play out and we heard from a lot of different speakers a speaker from sri lanka a speaker from burundi speaker from venezuela talking about the moves that they're taking regarding social media and news and sharing free speech but also stopping terrorism and i got up and i talked about the pressure that's been placed on this
2:09 pm
t.v. network r.t. and how it kind of shows a little bit of hypocrisy on the part of our leaders in the united states and the remarks were very well received by those in attendance many are very interested in the controversy surrounding r.t. in the usa. caleb op and thanks and if folks are interested in caleb's moscow remarks you can find them at youtube dot com slash r.t. america us chicken joint tyson foods the largest meat packer in the u.s. is acquiring to come suppose l.l.c. in a play to enter the organic chicken market tysons has been on a buying spree since two thousand and thirteen is acquired jimmy dean and ballpark hot dogs given that organic chicken sales have increased nationwide by twelve percent in the past year walk conventional chicken sales were only at three percent it makes sense tyson would acquire the nebraska based to come so which markets organic chicken and sausages under the brand name smart chicken what terms of the

2:12 pm
joining us the contention was that the baker had a first amendment right not to create or bake a cake does the ruling set a precedent for other businesses here. no i think it's a very narrow ruling the spring board handed down it's unlikely to have any real repercussions for other businesses at least for right now what the ruling specifically says is the original group that brought the baker to court was too overzealous a very interesting kind of language here to overzealous in in their attack on baker's religion and due to that incredible animosity that's us all through the opinion how they go back to this issue about incredible animosity how this is just a personal attack on his religion that they displayed a violation of this man's first amendment rights that's what the ruling says so this particular ruling only applies to one baker in this one instance but it does open the door for future cases to effectively decide this matter what i'm saying
2:13 pm
most importantly is they should have made a commonsense secular kind of argument where they just focused on the bigotry of this individual and relied on just just run of the mill discriminatory kind of language they should have got off got it got after him not for his religion but the way that the attack was made was just bad lawyer and really when it comes down to it they focus completely around this religious animosity issue and it really did edge right into a first amendment problem which raised the standard for what the court had to had to review any time you move into religion things like race or religion you're actually raising the standard of the level of review that the court engages in so really this is honestly just bad lawyer but at the same time it does kind of it does kind of tweak the notion that this is a court that is interested in kind of taking a look at closer look maybe at religious liberties and how they balance against i
2:14 pm
guess secular issues that's what it reads to me but this particular case there's no broad meaning to this case in in my reading of it it sounds like not only bad lawyer. to me but as a former regulator it sounds like bad regulating to me you mention the colorado civil rights commission which originally ruled against the baker as as being hostile to religion because of the remarks of one of its members if that had bet not in the record if the regulators had done a good job do you think this decision was played out the same way i think if this had just been handled just as a regular discrimination case i mean it was the chances of it the least getting past the seven to decision would have been much higher but somehow somehow that happens in the business of regulation we take our politics with this we don't actually stand outside and look at what the field looks like and make decisions according to that field we take this overzealous notion maybe this was somebody
2:15 pm
that had this overzealous notion in their need to attack religion and in doing that they actually were in the process of creating what some people might say is bad law because now somebody is going to build on this they're going to say they're going to point out that overzealous attacks any time that falls within a religious realm that we could easily fall into this case so you know bad lowering makes bad laws and bad regulatory beth regulatory agency that certainly makes bad laws to bad soup where this seems like a real balancing act for the court and that they they must consider you know discrimination while respecting individual first amendment rights and that's particularly infos given the justice kennedy who wrote the majority opinion is written pretty much every major supreme court decision protecting gay men and lesbians on the other side is also an ardent free speech defender i mean how do the supreme's look at those two under the law free speech and nondiscrimination when
2:16 pm
they will be in conflict. there is not there's not there's never a formula ok but there are there are certain kinds of cases that are always going to get what we call a higher level of scrutiny and then they're going to from from that higher level of scrutiny they're going to find the unique aspects of the fact situation that maybe can move it towards a free speech kind of protection were towards a religious protection you could go two to two years and years of constitutional law classes and you would never come out with a formula beyond that but if this it's interesting to me that you have a seven to kind of decision here that's telling you that you know that people looked at this and they were upset by the by this vigorous anti religious argument and so that to answer a question that's one element this way the court of usually so is different case to case how good is the lawyer presenting the issue does the lawyer understand our
2:17 pm
president do they understand kind of the back stories to some of these supreme court justices this was totally misunderstood by the lawyers and the regulators in this particular might happen tony host of america's lawyer thank you as always and that is it for us we're out of time catch boom bust on you tube dot com slash boom bust artsy. radially reinforced rammed earth bricks is what they really are. this more than seventy houses about a hundred and forty people with families that. it's really a way of forming same. the sun's coming
