Thank you very much.
We'd rather support our farmers and families here in America.
You know, the person who determines that is the Republican leader, not the Democrats.
So all I can do is keep raising the alarm about this and asking people all over this country to let the Republicans know that we want to vote on this, we want to put a stop to this.
You know, the American soybean farmers have really been hurt, and American farmers who are growing other crops have been hurt as well.
Because when Donald Trump has done this tariffs on, tariffs off, 100% tariffs, 50% tariffs, 20% tariffs, many, many buyers of those agriculture products who our farmers spent, some of them have spent decades developing those markets and those relationships, they've said, look,
If your president is going to impose tariffs on my home country, I can't buy your product.
And that's putting our American farmers under a lot of pressure.
The soybean farmers in particular got targeted by China and Argentina, Argentina doing a deal with China to cut out American soybean farmers.
That's just not right.
And we should not be rewarding
a country that acts against the interests of the American people and the American farmer.
And that is exactly what Donald Trump is doing.
So I don't talk about private conversations, but let me put it this way.
Democrats are really clear about what we're asking for.
We want the Republicans just to roll back those cuts that are going to knock 15 million Americans off their health care coverage and drive up insurance costs for tens of millions more Americans.
That's all we're asking for here, and the Republicans right now literally will not even sit down and negotiate.
The House is out for its fourth week of vacation, so they can't even be here to vote.
And the Senate just says, no talking.
You know, that's not how it works in a democracy.
