WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 13, 2020 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.080 To prevent hoarding. Some stores in the US are limiting 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.480 how much customers can purchase in terms of meat. Some 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.560 Wendy's restaurants are out of hamburgers, for example. Some meat 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.600 packing plants have briefly shut down because a bunch of 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.480 workers were infected with the coronavirus. Now you've no doubt 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.720 heard that President Trump has used the Defense Production Act 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.440 to order meat processing plants to stay open to protect 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.640 the food supply. Well, there's more news about the meat 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.840 that you eat, or should I say there is news 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.560 about the meat that you might not be eating. Meat 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.320 buyers in China have greatly stepped up the amount of 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.519 meat that they're buying from America. The reason. China's own 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.720 supply of pigs is being decimated by a disease, so 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.720 that Chi coms are wanting to pay premium prices to 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:52.560 import meat. Smith Field Foods, a Chinese own company operating 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.560 in the US, is shipping off more meat to China, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.680 so as Tyson Foods. Meanwhile, meat producers in America are 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.920 war aarning grocery stores to be prepared for some disruptions. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.440 By the end of May, they say there might not 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.200 be enough meat to meet the U S demand, so 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.160 you get it. China is all about putting China first, 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.880 which is why you should breathe a sigh of relief 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.360 that we have a president who puts America first. Competition. 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.759 Anybody see how that works.
