00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 5: proposal from Democrats, some Republicans, and health activists. Now Thompson's

97
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 5: reasoning is that it'll drive up the cost of food

98
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 5: to have fifty different states using different pesticide regulations. Thompson

99
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 5: brushed aside opposition, pointing out that House Agriculture Committee members,

100
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 5: including four Democrats, already voted to advance the proposal, but

101
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,799
