That's what I hear him saying.
voice-verified
Well, the first thing I did is I tried to walk him through all of the people that are in the Trump administration currently and that worked with this campaign that were involved in the creation of Project 2025.
voice-verified
And, you know, we kind of talked about the old, you know, the old rural acronym that if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
voice-verified
And he he absolutely understands that and he gets it.
voice-verified
But we talked about the specific things in Project 2025 that the president wanted to implement, which is the abolition of
voice-verified
most of the funding programs and subsidies that are out there for farmers.
voice-verified
You know, Don, John F. Kennedy used to say that farming is the only industry where you can't control the cost of your inputs, you can't control the cost of what you sell something for, and you have to pay for the shipping both ways.
voice-verified
And that's a great quote because that's absolutely true.
voice-verified
Unlike any other business, we have the least amount of control over what it costs us to farm and what we can sell our products for.
voice-verified
And these programs that are out there, these subsidy programs and the ARC, PRC, all these other fancy acronyms, they play a role in keeping farmers afloat.
voice-verified
And the Trump administration wants to abolish the majority of those.
voice-verified
And I want to say this and get this on the record.
voice-verified
He's also on record, you know, rooting for and pushing big agriculture over small family farms.
voice-verified
When his agricultural secretary,
voice-verified
Sonny Perdue, during his first administration, he was giving a speech and someone asked him about all the small farmers and dairies that were going out of business during the first Trump administration.
voice-verified
He answered and said, basically, well, this is America.
voice-verified
You know, the big get bigger.
voice-verified
I think he said the big get bigger and the small go out of business.
voice-verified
Well, that's a horrible philosophy for small farms and ranches in this country.
voice-verified
Wow.
