Highlights from the interview include:

On Farmers & Ranchers Turning to Donald Trump to Deliver:

“As agriculture goes, so goes Rural America. Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, what we saw was an attack on American agriculture. We saw a record drop in net farm income… they drowned us, they buried us in regulations, they drove up the cost for farming through energy costs… contrast that to President Trump – what President Trump gave us was access to markets. He rolled back regulations. We had record income increases as well.”

“Guess how many trade agreements Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did? None. President Trump gave us USMCA, he gave us South Korea, he gave us Japan… You think about those purple states up there in the central and the northwest. You think about Ohio, you think about Michigan, you think about Pennsylvania, all strong dairy country. Because of President Trump’s trade agreements, we have increases from $6 billion to $9 billion in exports of dairy… And again, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, no emphasis on trade. Didn’t even try to do a trade agreement.”

“President Trump gave us E15, about 40% of our corn crop goes towards ethanol, so President Trump, a great supporter for that Rural America.”

On Foreign Agriculture: 

“Food security is national security, and to your point, we’re importing more than we’re exporting when it comes to agriculture… So the Biden-Harris administration allows Europe and China to have high tariffs, on average, 10% to 25% tariffs on American agriculture products…  versus we only put 2.5% tariffs on them.”

“Tariffs can be a weapon to use to level that playing field, to bring us about free, fair, and reciprocal trade. And that’s what President Trump has done in the past; he’ll do in the future – he’ll bring it home for American farmers.”

On Kamala Harris’ Ban on Price Gouging 

“There will be shortages. Think about beef, think about poultry, eggs, milk, all those things will lead to shortages… What caused the prices to go up are her policies – her policies that attack American energy. Energy is an inflation multiplier.”

“They’re borrowing money, and borrowing more money has led to high interest rates, so that’s what’s driving up the cost at the grocery stores. Look, most of these grocery stores operate at a 1% or 2% profit margin. There’s significant competition. So, what will happen is American farmers and ranchers will stop growing wheat. They’ll stop growing up beef if we can’t get a fair price board as well.”

On President Joe Biden Calling Trump Supporters ‘Garbage’: 

“I think when the history books are written here, in five or 10 years, there’s going to be two iconic photos – one of President Trump working at a McDonald’s and two President Trump driving a garbage truck. When the Biden-Harris administration came out and called us garbage that was akin to Hillary Clinton’s deplorables moment… When President Trump walked in there to McDonald’s, he just proved that he cares about the working men and women across America, that we are the party of hard working Americans.”

“Americans that were sitting on the sidelines and said, my gosh, this White House is once again insulting you and me, hard working Americans across the country. They’re condescending – take them at their word, they’re attacking our values.”

“When I think of rural America, I think of the values we are raised on- faith and family and country, and how coastal elites are dictating to us what our values should be. Look, we want none of that in Kansas. We want to determine what our values are.”
