Cancer, Water, and Big Ag: What Rural America Is Voting On
8:11

Julian AndreoneGUEST
I don't have that radical position on trans rights when in reality, nobody would have been talking about it if you just centered your message on the economy.

8:18Suzan EremGUEST
Or I swear, I feel like I'm in Alice in Wonderland, but I feel like after the Sunday ad that just came out that these D.C. guys are looking at the Republican advertising and saying, oh, you need to respond to this trans attack.
S
8:32Suzan EremGUEST
You need to respond to, you know, Hinson saying you want boys and girls locker rooms.
S
8:41Suzan EremGUEST
Most of us have been successful in saying, you know what? Who cares? The real issue is we can't.
S
8:47Suzan EremGUEST
The real issue, by the way, is that labor and delivery departments are shutting down and women have to drive an hour and a half to have a baby.
S

S
42:01Suzan EremGUEST
So this was a great piece by Raj Patel, who's like an international author, and Jim Goodman, a farmer in Wisconsin.
S
42:08Suzan EremGUEST
And they compared CAFOs, is what they're called, confined animal feeding operations.
S
42:14Suzan EremGUEST
These are these 5,000 head hog horns, okay? They call them barns, but mostly they're just giant manure pits, okay? And those with data centers, because 30 years ago, for example, in Iowa, we had local control to keep those things out.
S
42:30Suzan EremGUEST
Our county supervisors, as we call them, we could pressure them to keep these giant stink bombs out of, our communities.
