the other week the f.d.a. announced a rule that would ban the term milk from nondairy products because they say it is the lacto see kregs of one or more healthy cows and nothing else. it would wipe out almond milk and coconut milk and other items like this. whatever their original value these labeling requirements are outdated and unnecessary. consumers are not deceived by these labels. no one buys almond milk under the false illusion they came from a cow. they buy it because it didn't come from a cow. the amendment i'm offering would protect students from standards of eye -- consumers from standards of identity requirements. the amendment would prohibit funds from being used to enforce those rules against products simply because of their use of a common compound name such as where a word or phrase identifies an alternative plant or animal source. in other words, it will protect products like almond milk, goat cheese and gluten free bread. the market pwhropbgdz to -- belongs to consumers. the role of governmen

and if that were to happen people would see that the f.d.a. is actually the political party that represents them best and bad because it's substantially increase their base of voters off the cuff. it sounds like the office for the protection of the constitution should step in and their job is to keep an eye on extremists but in your book you claim that the director of the office of hans-georg mohsen advised former a.f.d. leader franco patriot on how the party could stay out of trouble. poor form i had come to find what your source for those allegations that is of a. as it hasn't because playful paty told me herself. she also said that beyond a senior party official should be expelled to keep the authorities from cracking down. she said she got her information from personal conversations and told deputy party leader aleksandar golland and several other top officials about it. and will confirm that the topic even came up when the national a feel eaters held a telephone conference in pay to discuss her consultations with moscow it's nice we're go

with his statement which has since been rejected by the f.d.a. leaders is hardly an exceptional opinion among youth wing members. before lots of them discuss and say things like that behind closed doors and. calling the anti nazi resistance traitors is a glorification of national socialism so let's look at the plan that your engine yvon dominance over you've made controversial statements yourself and post in twenty fifteen you said the denying the holocaust was simply testing the limits of freedom of speech. was tested and that is help us is what i actually said was that holocaust deniers use the restrictions to advance their conspiracy theories back then i thought that the restriction should be lifted so that we could bring those people out into the open and confront them directly the medium and large a holes that they have never denied the existence of the holocaust that's on from con it was deplorable. but at one point i did indeed consider lifting the speech restrictions so that people could express their opinions openly and then be criticise

when it comes to writ rhetorics so i think it's very dangerous that the f.d.a. has set. level a standard which is slow and not protecting migrants on minorities and germany i think. i want to say one thing because i think it's very important that this movement is not only anti migrant it's it's a major part of the their their beliefs but it's far more than just and to my good because they are posing a liberal society where people we're talking about they are not migrant. they are just people of different color maybe it's the grand grandfather and parents that migrated to germany so they're not migrants anymore only by law by whatever statistic and this is what makes it so dangerous they are opposing part of the german citizens just because they have a different belief they have a different religion and where this makes sense we're going to hear exactly that a bit later on. when i come back to those particular voices we heard two people saying they don't feel secure on the streets of their city do you have sympathy for that sense of insecurity that was expressed there it

interesting we've just got about thirty seconds left sure about what's next on this front well the f.d.a. should be releasing their results soon but they have found life to stay in honey unfortunately so the farmers aren't actually spraying life to say onto the bee hives this is collected via the the bees who believes that the crops. like the states and honey and that's not controlled by that is not controlled so how that can be regulated they're not even sure when believably thank you so much appreciate your time thank you very weakened. and that's all we have time we have for this time thanks for being on board you can catch boom bust on directv channel three twenty one dish network channel two eighty or streaming twenty four seven on pluto t.v. that's a free t.v. at channel one thirty two or as always you can track us down at youtube dot com slash boom bust r.t. you have a great weekend to take care. in the. civil liberties. you were talking to. each other. and then a lot of what i think about tom and i skidded but i'm about the same as art when i was up the money into. making money u

but of course that has nothing to do with success for the f.d.a. for. you in. your own need to vital has said can it says every way she speaks of knife men on benefits saying thousands of violent criminals have come to germany so you are actually declaring germany unsafe at the same time in march some a.f.d. members of parliament were in syria and spoke to the. and said that syria was safe for the return of refugees how does that fit together. since i finished washing up or sure those are two completely different kettles of fish our members who are in syria i wasn't there so i can only quote what i heard they say there are very safe zones in syria and we must try to get people back home as human this is a completely different situation and i'm well aware that syria has been in a civil war from the situation in germany today as if this is america's immigration policy has created a situation where we have knife attacks and my co-leader is absolutely right about this carried out by people who would not be here otherwise. and so there is a cause here and that cause

from the f.d.a. party think so the foreign ministers call doesn't make sense it's come of their own time. the one who controls finance controls everything so in this sense this to teach a goal of mr marson making europe and germany more independent by creating its own financial system it's still it's a strategic goal that has its right to exist but please we have to to take into account possible reactions from the united states i think they won't be fond of this idea and we cannot afford to ruin the ties with the united states at the same time when europe itself has deteriorated his relations with russia sold the boldness of mr mass it's not in the right time and not at the right place. although europe's one of america's closest allies the kind of treatment the been receiving from the us is not exactly what you could call friendly these days. the united states will withdraw from the nuclear. disaster ministers come from an international order you need is never to fast break the moves that we ourselve

first, the f.d.a. approved the pill in 1960 and then moving ahead to 1973, roe v. wade.uest: it's incredible we have been talking for an hour and this is the first time this critical issue has come up. but the dual emergence of the legal pill and legal abortion are probably in some ways the most important developments that came out of the 1960's and early 1970's. and there's all kinds of arguments one could put forward including the huge moral arguments around abortion, but i think when you look back across a broad swath of history, as i am starting to do a little bit now, the single most important development for women's rights was contraception because it's wonderful to argue for women's rights. the laws clearly are important, but really what gave women the ability to control their destiny was their ability to control their fertility. and the combination of contraception, which allowed women to decide when and if they wanted to become pregnant, and abortion which gave them that last option if they became pregnant at a time they didn't want to, that's in my opinion what
