was the liberation of libya you know the acts that immigration of ice is and these the war in ukraine. colby goodman an expert at the forum on arms trade told depends one my general concern is this could lead to more loan deep balls and taxpayers would end up footing the bill. but hey why worry about those things after all i mean to a majority of our officials on capitol hill the pentagon inside the white house u.s. taxpayers are nothing more than walking a cannon fodder. welcome to the united states big bank of arms deals let's start watching the hawks. get the. real thing would. you. like you know that i got.

to. welcome everyone to watching the hard. times. wow eight billion dollars is what they're trying to offer up these folks and potential loans and all of this with you know flexible interest rates and all that fun exciting stuff nobody is ever there's no business that's ever been hurt by the idea of giving low priced loans to people who may or may not be able to actually that oh well. all of this is kind of coming in the military as the united states military is kind of a new push there pivot as we as we there's as they're so fond of saying away from they're now pivoting away from designing all their bases and ideas around terrorism to now pushing you know military targeting countries that are you know purchasing

military material from russia and china because it's coming from the they're moving from fighting terrorism to now countering major superpowers and what the pentagon is calling it near pure adversaries near pier now pier near pier they're almost there pure adjacent is there. and that's why we need to get these people to not buy weapons from russia or china but from. their adversaries but we should be selling them stuff not anybody else really make. such an incredibly smart and there's sort of a long history of this government trying to do these things for oh we'll give you a great deal. missiles and we'll finance it. never really worked they did it back in the eighty's a bunch of stuff you know kind of loan programs failed. due to missed payments shocker there was another effort to create a similar program under bill clinton but that fell apart because congress pushed

the loan term. civilian terms and of course governments don't want to have to pay. like the rest of us. the moment that they decided to be like hey maybe we'll make the interest rates like normal everyday trying to get interest rates or trying to get that no you can't have that. incredible. and the other thing we have to understand too is that we already have a kind of version of this program to give countries loans so that way they can buy weapons for. money. what they call the grant program actually grant grant money for the military financing or grant program. currently it's the largest for separate supercop of the f.m.'s assistance israel which is fifty one percent of the program's funds that was in two thousand and eight egypt and jordan follow as the next two to align for basically getting the most of these

f.m.'s gramps out of the us with basically again u.s. taxpayers giving them money so they can buy hardware from the united states government well or lockheed martin raytheon he's going to the time sorry if i get something. there's a private company making lots of lots of money so yeah that's kind of how. it was a lot of money and times when we keep saying we don't have the money and that we should be the world's policemen and we shouldn't be providing all this and at the same time the trumpet ministration a sitting there making this big play of the reviewers from the campaign trail. about how we shouldn't be subsidizing other people's defense we shouldn't be paying for this defense we shouldn't pay for nato nobody is paying their fair share so not only is no one paying their fair share but now the trump administration and this government has decided that what they want is to give give more of those people who weren't paying their fair share well just a loan on the money but will probably never get it back and who knows what could happen and then something like what happens if

a country says you know why i know that you loan me like you know a billion dollars to buy these weapons systems like campaign. what do you do when you bomb them like you know what is the you can't sunlight you know rock go in moose over to collect you know what you're going to do you consider absolutely ridiculous and just a good idea of lead where these numbers ultimately add up to the current grant program crosses about a five point four billion dollars in taxpayer dollars the suggested loan program would add eight on top of that which would mean it would basically put like the trumpet ministration for financing arm purchases around the world with our tax dollars would actually put them into an about thirteen point four billion dollars of our own money to do this campaign we don't have money for roads. machine learning is when a manmade computer is able to learn to perform tasks without explicitly being programmed to do so it's also used to create better accuracy data processing and to

create self learning algorithms so machines of all sorts can do their particular job better but what happens when the machines are learning how to kill human beings and more efficiently and the government doesn't say the public doesn't want the public to have a say well last year it was discovered the tech giant google was it a bit of a pickle why google employees discover they were developing artificial intelligence for analyzing drone footage in late two thousand and seventeen eric schmidt of google told a panel at the new american security it artificial intelligence global security summit that quote there's a general concern in the tech community of somehow the military industrial complex using their stuff to pay you to kill people incorrectly if you will i don't know how to say it any other way. well now the intercept has learned that while google insiders were desperately trying to cover of google's dealings with the military the pentagon had their back on december eighteenth of twenty eighteen the u.s. department of defense's acting chief management officer concluded that google's project maven quote is exempt from disclosure under exemption for the freedom of

information act steven aftergood director of the federation of american scientists project on government secrecy told the intercept in a way it is the path of least resistance that enables the agency to avoid time consuming expensive and details a review of records watch or should we be making it easier for government agencies to experiment with death without oversight or is it time to rethink just how much google knows about our national security. this is just leaves a bad taste in my mouth like ok. amazingly google. drove over there nobody. will ever whatsoever it is a bloated one month project even the name sounds creepy yeah it's ok that was the original project maven which i had to do with like i said are sort of processing drone footage of what they're trying to addle finding a machine learning that would go over all this data for them so the deodhar there

was a deal memo dated april twenty sixth twenty seventeen announced project maven and its goals what they stated was a department of defense must integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning more effectively across operation so the idea is that they want more they should have more they should do more of the. sorry is that they're going to do more of this artificial intelligence artificial intelligence machine learning or different so we're talking about two different things when you necessarily say which is what's funny is that even even in the d.o.d.'s own stuff they don't even clarify that they do. it makes sort of interchange the two phrases and they're not the same so actually the whole thing about well this is part of a project for artificial intelligence and machine learning but there's a reason they're different. but. it's interesting too because it's like when you look at. earlier.

example defense department acting chief management officer. went on to clarify the reasoning of all this stating that information about the project may have been individually or in aggregate would enable an adversary to identify capabilities and vulnerabilities in the department's approach to intelligence development and implementation would provide an adversary with the information necessary to disrupt destroyed or damaged technology military operations. personnel. because it might we're going to brag about it to everywhere about how we're going to be the top of the law and all of this technology and data collection technology of course you know less than a decade after the entire u.s. government said it never was collecting anything now agree that you're collecting

things but then find a way to sort of. process and then brag about how you're working with google and brag about how you're doing all of this great to beat everyone else but not want to talk about it to the people who are paying for it the people who are actually on the ground to the american people have a right to know what money is being spent on what are you putting and the thing is if you're just going to keep making like putting money and hand over fist and getting private industry involved in the making if it's it's murder attack yeah that's all it is you're looking at drone footage you can figure out what a bomb that is what you're trying to do to make it so it isn't a person's fault it isn't a general's fault it isn't the soldiers fault of the machine told us to do it so we can't be responsible somehow i don't feel like wars will end because we set up the machine did the voters parsing the book oh. yeah it was twenty first century flavor grow up the drone said it was ok to blow up this village. it's ridiculous when

people are fighting well obviously the interceptor the reason this came up is because the intercept has been sort of pushing to get four requests from them about what they're doing and they keep being denied and that's why there is still sort of being denied that the news story but there deputy counsel came murray actually contends that they will keep fighting and he said project maven is undeniably of interest to the public we are exploring all options to gain access to the information about the program that under fire can and should be disclosed. so of lou we get the truth i mean that's a thing you can't just spend billions of dollars you can't just to those without oversight that it's not we don't work like that here and it's you know the days of sort of throwing money hand over fist and it's clearly over we're in debt we don't have the money for a small step as we go to break og watchers but we're going to let us know what you think of the property recovered on facebook you tube and twitter and see our poll shows that are dot com coming up it's more bad news for monsanto and los angeles as the city of angels as the ones i'm told go to weed killer glad it was saved by

a melbourne romeo joins us here in the studio to break down what this means for the corporate chemical giant the rest of the state to watch and. i want to. thank you thanks. when lawmakers manufacture can be sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final clearing go round to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose any more you leave.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the pope the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else in the sink i was going to do. by the way what is it that flying here. is an officer. told to get up off the ground serve began to paint him down. and then freeze on the sounds of an

mit grown man the christening essentially. through his return. through which to do away from the officer. of his crew. the officer did a kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on trace one as i have suspicions didn't hit him i never saw any contact with you any kind went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and even turned three. seemed wrong. but old rules just told. me to get to shape out just because the educated and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

in what could be early stages of a big tobacco like downfall our good friends of monsanto just lost another cancer related lawsuit over the safety of their number one we've keller round up on its main ingredient like say and i los angeles county in southern california home to over ten million people is banned the use of life if it within its borders r.t. america's natasha has a story. for the time being los angeles county officials are banning the use of roundup after one of its ingredients has been linked to cancer the los angeles county board of supervisors are asking for all departments to halt the use of round up until public health and environment professionals can determine if it's safe for

further use this all comes after a second court ruling finding roundup was a substantial factor in a consumer's not hodgkins lymphoma most recently as san francisco court ruled in favor of seventy year old edwin hartman's case cardamon reportedly developed the cancer after using the herbicide on his snowmen california property for decades was the lack of sufficient warnings a substantial factor in causing harm to mr johnson answer yes last august a california court initially awarded the one johnson two hundred eighty nine million for his cancer after using round up on schools as a groundskeeper the payout later reduced to seventy million but it opened the floodgates of some one thousand three hundred lawsuits against bayer but according to one of the attorneys representing hardman the case itself is about months until failing to warn the public i took took over representative deposition he said to me that there's no evidence across the board that there's any association with cancer

that's just nonsense there is a mountain of evidence and this company needs to get straight and to be honest with you speak with its customers and say listen there is. is it it's associated with cancer and get let people make a choice about whether or not they use the product scientists associated with the environmental protection agency found those who were heavily exposed to round up had an astounding forty one percent higher risk of developing not hodgkin's lymphoma this is in stark contrast to a twenty six thousand study that found the weak killer had low toxicity for humans twenty sixteen study is currently under review according to the world health organization an eleven country study found that lifeless state is probably carcinogenic to humans and in twenty seventeen california adam going through state to its list of chemicals known to cause cancer however bayer maintains that month santo is safe to use in los angeles not just sweets are. joining us now to discuss the latest blow to monsanto is legal and media and was like all of line of

media thank you for joining us so thank you to have you actually here with us instead of just jumping over the screen the entire irish static thank you for coming out you are going to i got to as we talked a little bit about it earlier today but i'm going to say a little is this no new this this latest story and it is are they on their way behrman subs are they on their way to becoming the big tobacco the twenty first century yes by virtue of the frequency of the cases by virtue of the severity but with a cigarette in cases in litigation that a company that people are still smoking cigarettes are still there you know we always like to talk about what's the biggest organization is a big ag or a big pharma who are the of the big. and i don't think people realize how enormous monsanto bear and others how these people are in terms of something that affects food and agriculture around the world not everybody smokes

but everybody eats yeah and the enormity of this i think is is cannot be overemphasized it's massive it's like every food product every park their spirit leaves it's all over the borders yeah and i think what we've seen over the years you know when i was a kid it was doubt dupont and now it's gone then everybody all kind of like melded together and it's evolved months draw thirty points then you go do you think part of it is that those big companies started becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and we're just becoming habituated to the idea of this you know you so when when you were a kid when i was a kid we had silent spring rachel carson that's right d.d.t. was a days of agent orange sigler mates there was a time when all my gods cyclometer what to say to a mate so we did know but we reacted i remember one day it was a tuesday everybody went crazy towards gluten because our gluten was somehow rootin

tootin gluten and i don't know what it was but everything was gluten free and they didn't know why but they thought maybe it has something to do with with the weight gain so people jump to it life is a round g.m.o. those. it is whatever that part of the brain is that kicks in we don't have that and maybe that's because of all the glyphosate it turned out all the difficulties of the alarm centers or the lobby as well as a lawyer i mean this is a company that now has almost ten thousand lawsuits against us about this one thing what is a corporation do as a lawyer what do you what would you share six shots where you normally you would see reorganization of some kind of bankruptcy in the like but look at the way they also bifurcated at all eagle by foot p. . and they took two different parts of these trials at first when they said let's look at the science is there any causal connection between life as a you with a jury and cancer and they said yes ok reasonable reason really related

then the said now let's look at what these companies did to hide that remember this line what do you know and when the no wonder what that's kind of what's going on right now and as this starts and as people hear about this you're going to tell it's really hit critical mass when you hear the ads on radio have you been injured by a life estate do we cheat i mean how have you been injured you were the hundred pounds injured well the injury you call us right now monsanto operators are standing by when it hits that you know it's hit and then people are going to say wait a bit and then when people say what exactly where where is. everywhere now i mean it's on lawns it's on your face like you said it's kind of one of the things that you can't get around but we love cheap apples and we love cheap we like affordable fruits veggies at everywhere around the time so. you know it's interesting too

because we talked about the big tobacco because i remember being in the ninety's in high school reading about this and you know you know all these governments basically cities you know states brought yeah massive lawsuits against big tobacco saying look you've harmed you lie you deceived this about this are we going to see that with one side or are they too tired and about lobbying complex in washington and elsewhere where they're paying out too much too much dollars to tax arguments over somebody's going to see you know a similar thing where suddenly the government gets involved and you're seeing state lawsuits against or things of that nature whenever you hear or the chance of the plaintiffs trial bar you know people hate lawyers. until the effectuate change the reason why the pinto decided to change the design of its gas tank wasn't because of the kind of heart but because somebody came along and said you know we're going to sue you you know so when when it gets to the point when people start talking about

it when and this was always my test when mothers talk about you know recently as in the in the tendon case we're talking about and and. the various brain trauma in terms of football is somebody said when mothers decide to tell their kids no so when it gets to the point when mothers and families look to babies or look to families to make that connection when it becomes part of our collective conversation no lobbying no money is going to change at all and that's what's happening right now but there is this thing of the just explain that i think there is a presumption of safety in food there is this idea that will the government would have done something but look at our own e.p.a. said oh it's safe that they hear so there's this idea that somebody is looking out for us right not necessarily when that happens plus mothers that it has critical mass because i think what's interesting is you brought up piggybacking off what i

had said about you know growing up we you know by that that we you know knew about these that certain things where you took them off the shelves i mean you guys it was right before my generation and sized generation because you guys did something because our parents or grandparents or somebody they stood up and said you know our kids play in this or i'm spraying this on my head. this is you know whatever and so i think it's like we we would probably be much sicker from d.d.t. and everything else right of me had stopped and so it's shocking to me that we're still fighting that same fight that we have to do that the next iteration of this which i'm looking forward to is the idea of genetically modified organisms you know there are kids who. maybe now never had a molecule of food ever. created in a laboratory and think about this there was no commercial seventy soufan margarine before your time. and i used the for mother nature of

a sudden your body is saying what is this it looks like corn that looks like b. to looks like soil it looks like what is canola what is it and it's not that's the thing we're going to have to do keep an eye on i want to say thank you so much for . the pleasure forward you're with us thank you so if you. ok so this week in honor of women's history month of the awesomeness of female astronauts and general nasa planned to have an all female space. because no one announcer bothered to make sure they pack more than one set of space suits and sizes that fit the women they were forced to cancel the historic about how many women did this massive event require suits for two two women just to astronaut and mclean had to relinquish her spot in the space walk because now sit in bother packing more than one medium sized hard upper torso or trip now so it has accomplished a lot over the years which makes one wonder exactly how such an insulting mistake

was made the mistake being. there you assumed that there would never be more than one female astronaut on the international space station at any one time that might need a space suit newsflash everyone women have been going to space since cosmic time because we're not valentino tara she became the first woman ever to travel there and nineteen sixty three so nasa the next time you want to stand on the shoulders of women for a bit of p.r. make sure you have it in are so. typical it is literally the most typical thing sorry we don't have that. sorry you don't get to mature. but i the other up thing is that as our show for today remember everyone in this world we are not told but we love the flood tell you all i love you i am tired old winter and i'm having a lot less keep watching those hawks out there and have a great day and either everybody.

because there's a survival guide book stacie just like all the stored safely at least or that. he should. get it. back to the. public no good repatriations look at the rest of seventy years. still of a separate kaiser report. i do think the numbers mean something they've mastered us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be old rich eight point six percent the mold market was thirty percent some with one hundred five hundred three first second first second

and fifth when rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you know ford the mid one and only one but. the. focus is going on the phone lines smoke i don't like an impediment made in the muslim on muslim couple i'm going to know them better than once i've got some stuff that i. just. bought up was a bomb but i did just that again i think. she is or was you

make a. choice i just. don't bombard from the sun know my last book to go to the british course that's enough of them stop. i mean the guy. gets. to take. but. i'm. not what.

the wall between us media and president trump rages on despite the long awaited miller report concluding there is no evidence of conspiring with a prominent. school in the west bank is raided by israeli soldiers with children as young as ten held at gunpoint. and. tensions flare over venezuela russia accuses the us of treating latin america as its colony in response to washington's claims of moscow's military interference in the south american nation. it will look a little bit nasty here but don't be mistaken.
