All right, check this out. I want to walk you all through one of the most interesting stories I've read in a while. It's about a small family farm in Kansas, and this family voted for Trump. Now, I know a lot of people may find this boring or uninteresting, but just hear me out because I think it's worth zooming in on these stories that are being ignored by the mainstream media, ignored by the Trump admin as they cut the agriculture department, as they place retaliatory tariffs on country after country after country, therefore screwing over farmers. I want to bring attention to this Kansas family. Yes, they voted for Trump, but the most interesting part is, after their business, after their farm was screwed over by the Trump admin, they turned to a local Democrat. They are now looking towards this Democrat to put their thumb on the scale

and help save this family's business. It's funny how things work out when Republican policies are actually put into effect. And, you know, just to lay the groundwork before we talk about Jacob Thomas and his farm, Remember, bookmarked this name, Jacob Thomas. We'll come back to this. Let me just show you what happened a few months ago. The Agriculture.net posted broken promises. Over 30,000 farmers denied funds.

Shortly after his inauguration, on January 20th, President Trump issued an array of executive orders. However, several of these executive orders triggered a pause on broad swaths of federal funding. As a result of this pause, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is now refusing to make payments to farmers, on signed contracts that were promised during the Inflation Reduction Act. So a farmer would buy a $120,000 piece of equipment

because they thought they would get, I don't know, 60% of it returned due to some sort of incentive or credit, and the Trump admin cut those funds, therefore screwing over farm after farm after farm, after farm, since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, America's farmers, ranchers, foresters, and a rural small businesses have been signed. signing up in droves to receive funds by entering into formal contracts with the U.S. Department

of Agriculture. And it's worked. It's been a really solid policy. And meanwhile, let me remind you that today, rather than being worried about America's farmers, Trump met with the president of South Africa, and he just spread far-right conspiracy theories. Tommy Vitor from Potsave America said, Trump is telling the president of South Africa that his government is taking land away from white farmers and then executing them. That is an insane lie and pure incitement in the kind of talk that is normally reserved for neo-Nazi and white nationalist forums.

All right. This takes us on to the main story at hand. A Kansas family farm, barely getting by, grapples with Trump's cuts. This is going to be an interesting one. Before I read it, I'm getting comments like this. Keep up the informative news, Adam. This needs to be amplified. But YouTube hasn't been amplifying me.

YouTube has been suppressing some of my messages. Make sure you drop a like. Make sure you're subscribed and leaving comments to help boost and amplify the message. This reads, In the dawn light at his first farmer's market of the year, Jacob Thomas set out lush bib lettuce he'd cut just hours before. Soon the market would fill with customers he hadn't seen since fall when he and his wife were making ambitious plans.

So much now depended on these customers. The young couple had taken a 10% hit when the Trump admin abruptly cut $1 billion from two programs that supplied local produce and meat to schools. Robust sales here would help. offset that $8,000 loss. There have been other blows, too, which collectively have put to Thomas's small farm operation, always just barely making it on even shakier financial footing. Plans for a new warehouse and an expansion of their farm store are up in the air because of the administration pausing, then unpausing a $750,000 federal agriculture grant. They plowed up a spot for a new

greenhouse, only to learn that another grant for $8,000 would never come. They worry that 2000 Chris Anthemum cuttings ordered from Canada will be ensnared in the country's tariff dispute. So building on top of the funding cuts, the freezes, the staff cuts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the slashing of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ability to have resources. On top of all of that, Trump starts a trade war, pauses a trade war, then places retaliatory tariffs that further confuse Jacob and his wife, Jennifer. A third-generation farmer, Jacob and his family, are mainstays in this community near Fort Leavenworth Army installation where they grow vegetables on 15 acres. But a decade of farming has taken a toll. And last fall, Jacob began treatment for depression and anxiety. Sometimes when the stress feels overwhelming, he can barely eat.

Quote, the financial insecurity makes my depression worse, he said, recently. He was trying to remain optimistic, reminding himself that it's still early in the year, and quote, just because one program went away, there's still plenty of time to pivot. Though the Thomases and many of their neighbors voted for Trump last November, the consequences of his admins' wide-ranging cuts and uncertainty over tariffs

have already had a profound impact on this hilly corner of northeast Kansas, one of the hardest-hit states for agriculture during Trump's last trade war. Can I remind you that during Trump's last trade war, he claimed China was paying for the tariffs. Spoiler alert, they weren't. And then 92% of the pro se,

seeds raised off the back of these American companies went back in to bail out farmers in states like Iowa. So it's just counterproductive and terrible. Again, for many, the pride they felt when the president spoke of his love for farmers and his March 6th address to Congress has given way to a growing sense of helplessness because at the same time, they're just getting screwed. Can I go back to this broken promises article? Many projects funded through the Inflation Reduction Act are already a year or more

underway. And consequently, farmers and ranchers have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket trusting that the USDA would hold up their end of a legally binding agreement. Oh, honey, I'm sorry. The Trump admin does not care about legally binding agreements. The Trump admin only cares about their bottom dollar. If the Trump admin can reduce even a fraction of spending that put in Elon Musk's pockets, they don't care if it hurts farmers or veterans or U.S. workers across a globe or people working for U.S. aid who are trapped in certain countries. They don't care if it causes diseases to spread. They just care about the short-term, bottom-line revenue that Elon Musk is making. You know, why rural programs are supported by the IRA? What rural program? Sorry, $3.25 billion for a

conservation program, $8.45 billion for an environmental quality incentives program. 4.95 billion for the regional conservation. $1.4 billion for the agricultural conservation. I mean, programs that are necessary to help protect our environment are being cut and slashed by the Trump admin. And then Trump is more concerned about, you know, South African, white farmers, who he is now granting refugee status while not allowing any brown people from Haiti or Venezuela or any of these countries to come into the U.S. The entire point here is that Trump's priorities are completely mismatched. He's starting trade wars because of his ego. He's removing due process because of his authoritarian tendencies while throwing our veterans and farmers and anyone who's on Medicaid

under the bus, we'll see how this works out, we'll see the backlash during the midterms, I'm assuming it's not going to go well, and it's because of movements like the one that we're building right now. Every single second that you spend with me, I appreciate more than you know. As we keep building this, it'll be because of you guys. Whenever you help like the videos, I know it sounds corny, but genuinely it boosted in the algorithm. It amplifies it when, you know, So sometimes left-leaning media doesn't get an amplify. So thank you. Love you all.

And peace out.
