abby martin r.t. washington and i'll be joined us earlier today to discuss more about monsanto and g.m.o. foods take a look. well unlike other countries we have deemed g.m.o. foods to be substantially equivalent bush sr passed this through in one thousand nine hundred two with the f.d.a. and what it says is that g.m.o. foods are substantially equivalent to non g.m.o. foods so they're pretty much equal and that's completely different than any other country really. knows what the other well there are both a parent way according to the f.d.a. there is no proof and the like other unlike other countries the u.s. does not require their own independent tests of verify whether these foods are safe or not what they do is have these firms and agricultural giants conduct their own research and tests and when the f.d.a. passes the substantially equivalent there was internal documents released later from f.d.a. scientists that said hey this isn't true and we completely disagree with this but it's kind of been suck

then abby keeping edwards off the stand, you know he wanted to get up there, but abby knew he had just enough to get a not guilty verdict, enough about the federal election commission, not seeing this as a civil violation, abby lowell destroyed andrew young's credibility, and i think ultimately this case goes away. >> in all the old tv shows we watch like the good wife, there is always a sense that you don't put your defendant in the courtroom on the stand then they are hiding something. i think the jurors are more sophisticated and they don't make that judgment. >> they get an instruction saying you're not allowed to hold it against the defendant that they chose not to deaf. most jurors want to hear from the defendant, but they made a decision that putting him on would have been far worse than whatever jurors might have thought or held against him for not testifying and the reason is simple. the way the case went to the jury, the real credibility issues surrounded andrew young. this would have been a one witness case. the jurors would have looked at him, decided if he was believable,

your call from south carolina, and his point, abby phillip. guest: that's a good point that needs to be cleared up in the media. part of the laws that exist right now say that it is not legal for these outside groups, super pac's, in campaigns to coordinate on message but they are allowed to coordinate to some degree in fund raising. romney as a candidate could go to donors to solicit checks long as he does not say, "i would like you to donate a specific sum of money to this group." he can ask them in general terms to make contributions. the law as it stands now is quite ambiguous which allows for things like this utah confab we are seeing this weekend to occur. many of the candidates, on both sides, are utilizing the ambiguity in the bill ball to the extent that they can -- the ambiguity in the lot to raise the money and get an advantage over the other side. host: writing about the utah confab, as you call it. pointing out that his political operations seem to shut down and relocate. also meeting with beth myers who is vettign v.p. candidates
