00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 4: that the White House has ever seen, has ever and

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 4: raider shine. And you don't mind rain shine. And one

15
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: thing about farmers, they don't care about that. Whether they

16
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: get out there.

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 5: It makes no difference. But raider shine.

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: No one is more greater, greater spirit than the American farmer.

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: We love the American farmer. I just gave you twelve

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: billion dollars.

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that or not.

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: You make enough money, it doesn't matter to you, right,

23
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: but we just provided twelve billion, right, brut for the

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: American farmer. You think Biden would have done that no,

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: he wouldn't. We're delighted to be joined by Secretary of

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: Agriculture's doing a fantastic job, Brooke Rollins, Brooke, thank you, Everymark.

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,440

28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:58,440

30
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: the environment, but he does it quickly.

31
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: A real superstar. Lee Zelden, thank you, Lee pape Jai.

32
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: you very much.

35
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know everybody loved me. What's doing?

36
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: Sure?

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 5: John Hooven, Joni Ors, all right.

38
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: So he's going to go about giving a whole bunch

39
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: of thanks and appreciation senators that are there and everything else.

40
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: The twelve billion was was subsidies. Remember this was.

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: Money that was going to be tariff money. Funny how

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: that subject has fallen off the radar. Does he owe

43
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: the money? So you got the pay people back? You know,

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: there are lawsuits about saying, hey, we were told you

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: a lot to use certain the iee PA the Economic

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: Powers Act to engage tariff, So we want our money back,

47
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: and people are suing in the White House is saying,

48
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: we don't know how to pay you back. We know

49
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: how to do this, Let the court figure it out.

50
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: The court decided we couldn't do this. Let the court

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: figure out how it is that we pay you back.

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: But that's where I think this twelve billion dollars came from.

53
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: The the ever growing hardship of farming.

54
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: Right.

55
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: We talk about this in all sorts of ways. And

56
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: you know, there's a great expression, I never met a

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: poor farmer. But there is work involved here, and there

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 3: are pressures upon here, and there is a regulatory issue here, and.

59
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: Not everyone is playing on that elite level.

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: There are plenty of family farms that are suffering right

61
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: through it in every single way. So it's one thing

62
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: just to have the gathering. But I'm curious if the

63
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: President is going to get into some of what it

64
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: is they're dealing with, and how do you, for example,

65
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: keep food costs low when you have oil prices going

66
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: so high.

67
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: Take it back to President Trump.

68
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 4: It's in five hundredth store in honor of America's two

69
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: hundred and fiftieth hel Thank you very much. It was

70
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: great great to meet you at the Oval Office two

71
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: minutes ago. I also want to thank the President of

72
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: the American Farm Bureau Federation.

73
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: I thought he had gotten past some of this. See

74
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: that's the trouble with live. We'll do it live.

75
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: American agriculture industry with brutal restrictions and failed to negotiate

76
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: even a single new trade deal on your behalf.

77
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: Not one trade deal.

78
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: Was negotiated on your behalf during the Biden administration, and

79
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: we happened to be the exact opposite many trade deals.

80
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: We don't know what the hell to do with them.

81
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: We need more lawyers, but no one ever can farmers, ranchers, growers,

82
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: and producers. Once again, I'm a true friend and champion

83
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 4: in the Oval Office. And in my first year back

84
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: and the White House, farm income has soared by twenty

85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: percent very quickly. I repealed the Biden EPA's ridiculous water restrictions.

86
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 5: Yet water restrictions that mad gave you everything but water.

87
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: It needed a little water, they wouldn't give you it.

88
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 5: It was crazy to.

89
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: Keep federal bureaucrats off your land and out of your pockets.

90
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: It's a big deal.

91
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: With the help of Republicans in Congress. We passed the

92
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: largest tax cuts in American history. Already, forty five percent

93
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: of filers have taken advantage of our new tax provisions,

94
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: with an average refund so far of almost five thousand.

95
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: Dollars, a record.

96
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 4: In fact, we passed them, and people are just starting

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 4: to see how important they are. It's amazing what's happened.

98
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: The numbers are. They're reporting that it's much more money

99
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: than I thought.

100
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: I'll tell you, I call it the great, big beautiful Bill.

101
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: Is a great, big beautiful bill, and it's especially in

102
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: terms of via tax refunds and your taxes because it's

103
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 4: the lowest tax we pay. It's the biggest tax reduction

104
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: in the history of our country.

105
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: Has anybody felt it yet? I was asking this question

106
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: on my morning show. It's supposed to be Remember this

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: is what Scott Bessett, the Treasury Secretary, really started digging

108
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: into in December after listening to the show. Of course,

109
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: you got to let people know what's happening, what they

110
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: can be expecting, what they got to be a part of.

111
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: It's something that this administration does poorly get people into

112
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: the fight with you. They think they could just give

113
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: a dictate.

114
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: And everybody fall along.

115
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: That's not the way it works. People have to be

116
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: a part of it. Americans want to be a part

117
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: of it. So the one big, beautiful bill, which was

118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: so poorly messaged, is supposed to lead to larger tax

119
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: returns refunds.

120
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: The question is, has.

121
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: Anybody gotten anything yet and have they noticed anything larger?

122
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: When you were doing your taxes, which are doing less

123
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: than a month, did you notice that there was more deduction,

124
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: more coming your way. I'm just curious if anybody experienced

125
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: these things. As President Trump is just saying this to

126
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: the farmers.

127
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: It's also the biggest regulation reduction in the history of

128
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: our country, which, as farmers, you know what that means.

129
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 4: It means a lot of good things. We made to

130
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: small business tax deduction permanent benefiting ninety eight percent of

131
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: America's farmers and ranchers. And thanks to bonus depreciation, farmers

132
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: can now deduct one hundred percent of the cost of

133
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: new tractors and all equipment in the first year. In

134
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: other words, you buy a tractor, you deduct the whole price.

135
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: Normally it goes over a thirty eight year period. This

136
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: is slightly better.

137
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 5: You got these tiny little deductions that weren't even worth it.

138
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: Now you can do it.

139
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: At one time, only Trump could have gotten you that one.

140
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 5: That was a big thing. And in the first term, you.

141
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: Know, we had the greatest personship of our country in

142
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: the first time.

143
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 5: We are blowing them away right now. And by the way,

144
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: we're doing really well.

145
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: In Iran, just so you understand, you know, I mean,

146
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: how good is our military? How good is our military?

147
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: Very importantly, we saved two million American farms from extinction

148
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 4: by virtually ending the unfair estate tax.

149
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 5: We've ended the estate.

150
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: Tax, or as they call it, the death tax, and

151
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: you can now keep your family farms in the family.

152
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 5: We had a problem.

153
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: That is a big deal.

154
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: See, these are all people that are flapping, that love

155
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: their children. If they didn't love their children, they wouldn't

156
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: care about what I just said.

157
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 5: But most of you.

158
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: Does anybody not love your child, because that would be

159
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: the one person that would have clapped the other way.

160
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: Now is a big thing.

161
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: I would see farmers and they pass away. They love

162
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 5: their life.

163
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: They love there's something about a farmer, maybe more than

164
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: anybody else. They love that, They love the soil, and

165
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 4: they love their farms and they'd pass away. They'd have

166
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: wonderful children, and the children would get hit with this

167
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: massive tax bill for the value of the farm. Sometimes

168
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: the farmer is very valuable, but the cash isn't so

169
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: readily available, and they'd go out to a bank and they'd.

170
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 5: Borrow money, and they'd borrow and borrow and borrow to

171
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: pay the tax. They'd be working for twenty years to

172
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 5: pay it off. If they had a bad season, they'd

173
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 5: lose their farm. We looked it, lost it.

174
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: Many many times, and you'd have actually many many.

175
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: Suicides over it.

176
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 4: They would actually commit suicide because they couldn't stand the

177
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: concept of losing their family farm. And I ended up

178
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: the death tax or the estate tax on family farms

179
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: and small businesses.

180
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 5: So I think you're appreciative of that. It was a

181
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 5: terrible thing.

182
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: And those kinds of things did indeed happen.

183
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: It's too bad that so many people in the past

184
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 4: couldn't have taken advantage of it, because it would.

185
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 5: Have made a lot of happy people out of people that.

186
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: Really have had a miserable life.

187
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: What's not that the life was miserable, The life was

188
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: made miserable.

189
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: This idea that somehow government is entitled to our labor.

190
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: Is madness that it's somehow unfair to leave things to

191
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: your children, that that belongs to some government bureaucrat because

192
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: they decided that's what's good and decent.

193
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: I have discussed this before. I want to leave it

194
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: all to my kids. Don't tell me.

195
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: I'll take care of any charitable organization as I see fit,

196
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: But my job is to take care of my children

197
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: and have they want to spend.

198
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: The money the way the way they want to spend

199
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 2: the money, just like I do it. I'm alive. Fine,

200
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave it to strangers and not my own kids.

201
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: That's madness.

202
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: Government things that they should be involved in that process.

203
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: It is obscene.

204
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: So what the president is actually engaged in here, whether

205
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: he knows it or not, it's a conversation about philosophy,

206
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: the difference between us and them, the difference between the

207
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: conservative and the liberal. It isn't theirs. It is yours

208
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: to do with as you see fit. Without the concept

209
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: of acceptance. No leftist gets to decide what you do

210
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 3: with your money, and they sure as hell don't get

211
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: to say, well, we get our share. It isn't theirs.

212
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: I will decide what to do with it. And it's

213
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: going to my kids and anybody who would put forth

214
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: the policy that says, no, it should go somewhere else,

215
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: and you shouldn't have.

216
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: A say that's something you don't vote for.

217
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: Not worthy of your vote, not worthy of your time,

218
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: and not worthy of your love. We'll catch up with

219
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: some more from President Trump in a moment.

220
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: Keep it here. This is Tony Katz today
