Michael PollanGUEST
You have what we call big food, which is all the food processors, the manufacturers, the fast food companies.
Michael PollanGUEST
And then you have big ag, which represents all the monoculture farmers.
Michael PollanGUEST
But really, represents the people who sell to monoculture farmers, the makers of equipment, the people who sell fertilizer and seed, the Monsantos of the world, or then they were called Monsanto, now it's Bayer.
Michael PollanGUEST
And so we had quite a fight on our hands.
Jim HightowerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Of course, Trumpers don't really care about saving farmers, but saving their own political hides.
Jim HightowerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Notice that while they're doling out government welfare checks to Big Ag, they're coldly dismissing the real pain of workaday families who are being knocked flat by skyrocketing food prices.
Jim HightowerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Meanwhile, Trump himself admits his agbiz giveaways are just partisan politics.
Jim HightowerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Campaigning in Kansas for Roger Marshall, one of the sycophantish Congress critters, he promised to enact another subsidy for the region's corn farmers, but only if Kansans re-elect Marshall next week.
Matt PaulGUEST
It was unbelievable.
Zach LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Big Ag has created corporate monopolies.
Zach LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They're squeezing our farmers for prices.
Zach LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They're jacking up prices on seed input and fertilizer, all while the price of grain stays the same.

Bust
Zach LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
them up! Bust them up! Let's go! On the front steps of our farmhouse, many of you were here.
Zach LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When I announced my campaign, I made it very clear as governor, I will take on the big ag cartels, I will break up their monopolies, and I will get Iowa farmers a fair deal.
Zach LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But finally, an issue that's hard to talk about, but we must talk about it.
Daniel HorowitzHOST
Do you know how Roger Marshall is senator so he could suck it up and lose to a Democrat? Well, he was congressman first.
Daniel HorowitzHOST
Do you know how he was congressman? He actually knocked off Tim Hulskamp, one of the best conservatives, because he was put up by Big Ag, which is for open borders and for endless corporate subsidies that are destroying agriculture and family farms in America.
Daniel HorowitzHOST
Kulskamp was the embodiment of a Tea Party era conservative, but we went backwards.
Daniel HorowitzHOST
Now, Trump wasn't involved in that, but again, it was emblematic of this broader theme that what Trump did is he took away the hard right that was focused on issues and outcomes and primaries and knew roughly, not perfectly, but roughly who was good, who was bad.

Tiffany CianciHOST
They voted with him.
Tiffany CianciHOST
But they also tried to talk him out of it from everything I was told by the teams, right? So how are people supposed to be demanding more of their politicians? Who should they be turning to to vote for on these issues when you see that we have a couple Democrats and we have a couple Republicans and everybody else on the take with Big Ag?
Sarah StarmanGUEST
Yeah, there are some things you said there that I think are so astute and important to highlight.
Sarah StarmanGUEST
One of them is that I would say, you know, the influence of money is so important to watch and track and understanding how candidates and elected officials are influenced by money is is something that all of us as voters need to be aware of and use to shape our decisions.
Tiffany CianciHOST
It will cost when we could just invest in health in our kids now.
Tiffany CianciHOST
But that's not what Big Pharma and Big Ag want.
Tiffany CianciHOST
They want us addicted.
Tiffany CianciHOST
They want us unhealthy.
Tiffany CianciHOST
Kids have less access to healthy food.
Tiffany CianciHOST
Schools can no longer buy direct from farms.
Tiffany CianciHOST
We no longer have regenerative and organic agriculture pilots for our farmers to get off of big ag and big chemical.
Tiffany CianciHOST
And we find ourselves in this position where we have no way, no capacity, no ability to do anything about it because our politicians are all taking money from the monopolists.
Tony LyonsHOST
And of course, you won't read a word about this, not in The New York Times, not in The Wall Street Journal, not in USA Today, because those papers protect their advertisers, and the big money interests don't profit from a healthy country, from healthy people.
Tony LyonsHOST
So instead of telling you about the fight that Secretary Kennedy has been waging on your behalf against Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag, and against the previously captured government agencies, even his own, they run the hit pieces week after week.
Tony LyonsHOST
They tell you he's dangerous.
Tony LyonsHOST
Well, let's be honest about that word, and I've said it before, but we know exactly what Bobby Kennedy is a danger to and what the Maha movement is a danger to.
Arnie ArnesenHOST
Hannah, what about any kind of amicus briefs? How is the agricultural behemoths reacting to what you're doing, including the cannabis industry, which kind of likes the idea that they're second-class citizens working to do the medical, uh, marijuana? I, I'm kind of curious what the, what is, what's happening outside of what you are fighting.
Hanna WolfGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm sure we will face big opposition from Big Ag.
Hanna WolfGUEST
They are the ones who benefit from a workforce that does not have the same protections as other people.
Hanna WolfGUEST
Um, but I think we'll actually get some support from, you know, other worker groups, I think from small farmers who y- all over the country farmers are saying that they do not have reliable labor, they do not have enough workers.
