oliver: now we know what peter coy does in his free time.here has certainly been this debate with our own u.s. congress about, they get this nice little august recess. maybe they should be working longer to get things done. maybe work through some of president trump's agenda. peter: the funny thing is, the recessed from the formal idea of an august recess for congress, goes back only to 1971. before then, in the early years of congress, they just finished their work in the spring and went home. starting in the 1960's it became more of a year-round job and they were sweating through the washington august, which is not a pleasant place to be. carol: right. peter: tempers were raised, nerves were frazzled. they said, this is crazy. we should take a break, gather ourselves, rejuvenate, talk to constituents. so they put this in. from the beginning of august through labor day, they are off. you always get some puritans saying, no, we have the people's work to do. oliver: speaking of vacations, and the pursuit section, a five star resort in thailan

and very diff dangerous for the world and for humanity as a whole peter in one of the things i find very perilous and your work with oliver stone in the untold history of the united states the supreme really suggest viewers to take a look at it here is that it seems to me that there is some kind of collective amnesia there were some very troubling times during the cold war that needed really strong leadership from both. andries i would say to be able to back off from the rubicon here i am very worried i'm terrified that people in the foreign policy blog have just simply forgotten how dangerous the world can be when there are so many other things that could be dealt with together ok but not being friends being pragmatic that's enough go ahead peter. well alexander makes a very good point in bringing up the nuclear conflict the united states and russia between ourselves have a between ninety three and ninety four percent of the world's nuclear weapons right now we have more than a thousand nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert pointed at each other. well you know the numbers on this the estimate is that even in a limited nu

oliver: a tremendous amount of data that has been waded through. a lot of great stuff and reporting from peterr: roundup, or its active ingredient, is the most widely sold chemical in the world. there is nearly a pound of it on average in every single acre of cultivated land globally. quite a very large selling chemical. now since 2000, when monsanto lost patent protection for it, the chinese have been manufacturing the chemical in prodigious quantities. monsanto still has 20% to 25% of the market in terms of volume and a much higher percentage, around 40% of the market in terms of revenue because their roundup product, the trade name for the herbicide they sell is very widely selling and commands a premium. monsanto invented the chemical and this is a linchpin of the genetically modified organism seed sales that monsanto literally pioneered in the 1990's. if you don't know anything about monsanto or genetically modified organisms, you need to know this and that is very simply monsanto modified the dna, they reengineered the dna of cotton, soybeans, and several other commodity crops so that th

oliver: any idea what the impetus been from our peers in this agreement on what they want? is there a similar line of sight anywhere? peterks like the reaction to the trump administration put out there are the makings of a deal. there are certain things about nafta that are kind of old and need to be updated. we heard from the ministers of both canada and mexico saying helpful things like, yeah, this is a good blueprint for the modernization. oliver: house republicans are voicing objections to a sanctions bill meant to punishing moscow for interfering in the u.s. election. carol: it would make it harder for u.s. companies to do business in russia. here is matthew philip. matthew: the rare bipartisan bill we have seen these days. it basically calls to tighten up existing sanctions on iran, and more portly on russia. it's an attempt by congress to basically keep the president from being able to ease sanctions on the russian government, either from their meddling in the election or from their incursion into crimea. this is a regime put in place in 2014 by the obama administration to crack down on russia after their invasion
