1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: All right, what's going on with beef? Because people are

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: up in arms over this stuff with beef.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of talk about it. Donald Trump

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 2: said he would have the US purchase beef from Argentina,

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: and this is to help lower domestic beef prices. He

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: said this when he was on Air Force One. Let's

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: take a listen. Question is what do you have to

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: say to US farmers? You feel that the deal is

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: benefiting Argentina more than it is them as they.

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: Are, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: don't know anything about it. They're fighting for their life.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: Nothing is benefiting Argentina. They're fighting for their life. You

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: understand what that means. They have no money, they have

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: no anything. They're fighting so hard to survive. If I

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: can help them survive in a free world, I happen

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 3: to like the president of Argentina. I think he's trying

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: to do the best he can. But don't make it

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 3: sound like they're doing great. They are dying, all right,

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: They're dying.

20
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, here's the problem with this and this. Look

21
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Trump does this all the time, and you know there's

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: certaimes he does and it's funny but then like that,

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: like just totally dismissing that lady and like trying to

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: act like she's some sort of gotcha question. No, US

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: farmers are very upset about this. There's all sorts of

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: articles written about this, including by people and outlets that

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: are friendly to Trump and to Republicans. And the problem

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Trump has is he created this environment. He promises everything

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: to everyone. It's the unreasonable promise. And when you're the government,

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: you can't promise everything to everyone because eventually you run

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: out of other people's stuff. And when you're crafting these policies, Oh,

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to make us the trade en via the world.

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: We're going to strengthen American production again, we're going to

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: bring it back home. Okay, there's ramifications for that, and

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: the ramifications are going to be that other people are

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: gonna feel pain because of that, and in many cases,

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: on a variety of areas we have laid out it's farmers. Okay, Well,

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: now we got to bout the farmers because well, they

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: all voted for me, so let's take this money, this

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: tariff money, and give it to them. Well wait a second,

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: you told us the tariffs are going to be great

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: because we was going to pay down the debt and

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: then you're going to give money back to us. You

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: see how this never ends when you just keep promising

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: stuff to people. So for him to be super dismissive

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: of this, no, mister president, farmers are very upset about

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: this because you promised to be the farmer's best friend

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: and it ain't working out.

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: This is talking directly to his base people who supported

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: him a lot. And he said that this is part

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: of a move, a broader effort to control inflation. But

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: isn't this really just a short term solution because part

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: of the issue here is that we need more meat

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: processors and inspectors and streamline regulation on this. I mean,

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: you look at like Meriweather Farms. They're a huge cattle farmer,

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 2: and they're saying, you know, you're suggesting to buy bee

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: from Argentina to stabilized prices is an absolute betrayal to

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: the American cattle rancher. That's the way they're feeling. So

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: people are really mad about this decision.

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: Well, but it's very hypocritical of him because you know

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: when he told those reporters like, well, we could buy

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: the bee from Argentina to bring the prices down. Okay,

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: But that's what all the other stuff that you've railed

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: on is about. The reason we got these trade agreements

65
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: is other countries because they don't have the labor laws,

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: et cetera that we do make stuff cheaper. So on one hand, oh,

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: we got to deal with this country and we got

68
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: to deal with that country, and this is out of control.

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: And that's out of control, not disputing that. But now,

70
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: when you're feeling the heat, what are you doing basically

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. You're looking to another country. Now,

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: they like, what's his face? That runs Argentina, Favier million Malay? Yeah, la, yeah,

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: they like him and he Now, this is what this

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: is all about. Right, Milay's got a I don't know

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: if they call him midterms in that country, but Milay

76
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: has So let's give you the story. Right, this is

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: about protecting Malay because he's got a term election coming

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: up that could dramatically affect his ability to govern going forward.

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: They want Malay to be in a position of power

80
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: and they need a strong Argentinian economy in order to

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: boost Malay's chances of winning the election. So what does

82
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: Trump do in a totally political act he spare me

83
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: that he gives two damns about the people of Argentina.

84
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: He wants Malay in a position of strength. He proposes

85
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: to do this, which is going to hurt the people

86
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: back home, but he don't care because the politics is

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: more important.

88
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: A twenty billion credit swap line is what is happening.

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: But that's it, he said to that reporter. They're fighting

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: for their lives. Do you understand that, mister president, Do

91
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: you understand Americans are fighting. You're squeezing out the middle

92
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: class and there are so many people that are struggling

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: right now. And everybody loves beef. We love our steak,

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: We love our beef and our burgers. Why is it

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: so expensive right now? Well, you've got drought part of it,

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: but the high grain is the feed. Also the inflation,

97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 2: the interest rates, and the tariffs, all of the things

98
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump has had a hand it
