1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: To prevent hoarding. Some stores in the US are limiting

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: how much customers can purchase in terms of meat. Some

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Wendy's restaurants are out of hamburgers, for example. Some meat

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: packing plants have briefly shut down because a bunch of

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: workers were infected with the coronavirus. Now you've no doubt

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: heard that President Trump has used the Defense Production Act

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: to order meat processing plants to stay open to protect

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: the food supply. Well, there's more news about the meat

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: that you eat, or should I say there is news

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: about the meat that you might not be eating. Meat

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: buyers in China have greatly stepped up the amount of

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: meat that they're buying from America. The reason. China's own

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: supply of pigs is being decimated by a disease, so

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: that Chi coms are wanting to pay premium prices to

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: import meat. Smith Field Foods, a Chinese own company operating

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: in the US, is shipping off more meat to China,

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: so as Tyson Foods. Meanwhile, meat producers in America are

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: war aarning grocery stores to be prepared for some disruptions.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: By the end of May, they say there might not

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: be enough meat to meet the U S demand, so

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: you get it. China is all about putting China first,

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: which is why you should breathe a sigh of relief

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: that we have a president who puts America first. Competition.

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: Anybody see how that works.
