Full Episode
Wisconsin is under attack by the Trump-Musk-Doge regime, and Wisconsin voters are absolutely pissed off. Look, it's no secret that Trump was able to eke out and win the state in the 2024 election by president.
promising lower prices on day one by promising to end the war in ukraine in 24 hours making housing more affordable promising this promising that i alone can fix it which of course we were warning about was a lie but some people bought into it donald trump would dress up like a like a garbage man and do these you know ridiculous stunts remember the garbage man stunt was in wisconsin i think we've got a clip of it just to remind you when he went
extra orange and dressed up like the garbage man here, play this clip. He went in the garbage truck and he promised that he was going to do all of these things. Well, look, Trump's tariffs are hitting the farmers, manufacturers, workers in Wisconsin hard. Trump's attack on the Department of Education is devastating to Wisconsin.
Donald Trump's attack on Social Security, shutting down Social Security offices and services. hitting Wisconsin hard, Trump's attacks on Medicaid. There's not a single thing that Trump's doing that isn't hitting Wisconsin hard. And I'll just show you from a local Wisconsin news channel, WSIN 12.
I mean, this professor at Madison, he explains, look, when you do these tariffs, tariffs up, tariffs down, Wisconsin's kind of biggest exports, imports, I mean, Canada, Mexico,
China, here, play this clip. So when you have this sort of flip-flash with tariffs, first they're on the table, they're off the table, they're 15%, they're 25%. How does that impact the economy when it's not stable?
Well, one of the things that most businesses really don't like is uncertainty. And it's almost always easier to deal with a known situation and figure out how to best approach it than to be in a situation where you're not quite sure what your steps should be because you're not quite sure what the environment in which you're going to be operating will be. And that applies equally to
dairy farms, dairy processing businesses, food retailers. And it's really sort of a nationwide issue that we should be thinking about. So how significant of a trade partner is a country like China for dairy farmers? And what is the possible impact for Wisconsin's dairy farmers?
Sure. So I'd like to point out to people that our top three dairy trading partners, and this is national level data, are Mexico, Canada, and China in that order. So dairy trade is really pretty important for the U.S. dairy industry. It's been the main source of growth in milk production and product sales over the last 10 to 15 years.
