All right, this chart is proof that Donald Trump is actively hurting Americans. Now, we of course know that, but now we have more and more information that is showing us. And Donald Trump knows it because there was a text that leaked from Scott Bassett to the Agriculture Secretary where they are literally panicking about what's happening and what is to come. And sorry, there's so much to go through. But this is also just tied to corruption, as it all is with, Trump administration because all of this happening is to help Donald Trump's billionaire buddies. And no one's talking about it, but we're going to talk about it.

Let's just get into this chart for a second. So as you see, number goes down, not good. What this is is U.S. Soybeans to China. And as you can see, they literally stopped buying all soybeans. Now, why does that matter? Well, it turns out soybeans, we make almost $13 billion selling it, not us, but it is, a $13 billion industry, and China has just stopped buying it altogether.

September 1st was the beginning of the new marketing year for soybeans, the starting point for big sales. Instead, China hasn't bought any American soybeans since May. The cause is Donald Trump. They're not going to say that here, but that's why it's called retaliatory tariffs. China has placed on United States, making the price of American soybeans unattracted for buyers there throughout the summer, farmers hoped that Trump and China would reach a trade agreement that would drop the tariff on their crops. But so far, no relief has happened. And here is the interesting bit because the consequences are stacking up for American farmers. And I have John Thune talking about this, who is a senator and the Senate majority leader on the Republican side

who is talking about this in sort of blunt terms. But Argentina suspended its tax and exports of a number of key crops, including soybeans. Shortly thereafter, Chinese companies bought more than one million tons of Argentine soybeans, according to Reuters, increasing the nation's ability to hold out from buying the crop from America. But the real worry is what is going to happen in just a bit. It's really raising worries that there's not going to be enough storage space for grains this fall, meaning that there are fears that grain elevators which buy and store large quantity of crops before selling the most simply stock. accepting soybeans. So Donald Trump screws up the economy and then hardworking Americans are holding

the bag. That's what's really happened here. It's kind of like the Trump meme coin happening with soybeans because what happened with the Trump meme coin and the Melani coin? Well, Melania made a shit ton of money offer for coin and then her and her friends sold and then the people holding the bag, the average American had a worthless coin. That's what's happening. happening here with the soybeans. Now, Caroline Levitt is saying here that the Democrats should not shut down the federal government while all this is happening. But unfortunately for her, Russ Vaught, Vaught, Vought, yes, Russ Vaught admitted that it's not Democrats shutting down the government. It would be the President of the United States. That's clearly going to blow through the 30th.

How do we fight off a CR? A government shutdown. They make it the biggest deal. It's not the end of the world. We should not bend it all on a CR because then we started, we've given the heroin addict a taste of heroin again. Have we not, Russ? I don't think anyone should be afraid of a government shutdown. I managed it for President Trump. We made it as painless and possible consistent with the law. And it's actually what's necessary to pass these bills individually is because how else are you going to get moderates to vote for spending cuts if they are not up against the fact that they need to pass these things to get out of a shutdown themselves. So he admits it here that President of the United States wants to shut down because it's actually what's necessary to pass the bills individually.

So Donald Trump wants this. He's going to get it. Democrats aren't in power. And the Republicans and Donald Trump are the ones who are not only shutting down the government, who are hurting farmers. And as I said, Scott Besant has a text message that leaked. that show. First off, what the hell are they doing? Texting each other an I message. This is a national security problem. And here it is. So this is the message.

There's a text, obviously, here it is, and then here it is transcribed. This is the Agriculture Secretary saying, just a heads up. I'm getting more intel, but this is highly unfortunate. We bailed out Argentina yesterday in return. Argentina removed their export tariffs on grains, reducing their price. China at a time when we would normally be selling to China. Soy prices are dropping further because of it. That gives China more leverage on us.

The message continue on a plane, but Scott, I can call you when I land. Now, as I said, this is all tied to billionaires. So this is from Brian Derek, a friend of the show who pointed this out. He's a good follow on Instagram if you don't know. And here's what it says. Last week, Treasury's Secretary Scott Besant announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. The risky taxpayer-financed deal, which involves trading U.S. dollars for Argentine pesos, has little upside for ordinary Americans. Argentina is not a significant

U.S. trading partner in its economy long and term has little impact in the United States. Well, that's not the case anymore, as they're now fucking us over the soybeans. However, Bessent's announcement had massive economic benefits for one American billionaire hedge fund manager Rob Citrone, who has placed large bets on the future of Argentine economy. And the Citrone, the co-founder of Discovery Capital Management, is also a friend and a former colleague of Besant, a fact that has not been previously reported in American outlets. Citrone, for his account, helped make Besant very wealthy. So let's just slow that all down.

It's a lot of information. Let's just compress all of it. Okay. One, Donald Trump caused tariffs. that made China look elsewhere for our goods because they put retaliatory tariffs on us because what? The people who actually buy the goods pays the tax, which is a tariff. China's buyers then looked elsewhere. Argentina said, hey, we're going to make these cheaper. Buy our soybeans. China said, sure. Now they don't actually have to worry about it because the thing that they wanted they can get

for cheaper from somewhere else. Three, Argentina got bailed out by us for 20, billion dollars. So now not only are we not selling the thing that we normally sell, we're actually paying more into the country who's fucking us over so we can help a billionaire. And on top of that, we're also going to be paying another way because this is crazy. Donald Trump is now saying that they're going to have to give some of the tariff money. That is money that we have paid because Donald Trump has put a tax on us. and that money is now going to go to the farmers. So we're paying on both ends.

We're going to take some of the tariff money that we made, he said. We're going to give it to our farmers who are for a little while going to be hurt until the terrorists kick into their benefit. It's never going to be a benefit. So we're going to make sure that our farmers are in great shape. So we're now doing socialism on top of everything else. Okay? Are you understanding?

And by the way, none of this is really, for what it's worth, This is Fox News. None of this is really popular. 52% of the country thinks that the economy is worse now. They're right. 18% thinks it's the same. So about 70% of the country thinks that the economy is either doing terribly or not on the up and up.

And here's Senator John Thune, explaining that we got screwed over. Why should American taxpayers bail out farmers who are hurting because of the president's tariff policies? Well, look, I think that the farmers, and I represent a lot of them, and they want nothing more than open markets. There are markets right now that aren't open to some of our commodities. As a consequence of that, we've got a big harvest coming in here in South Dakota, corn and soybeans, and no place to go with it. So what the president has said is, I'm going to support and I'm going to help our farmers. And so we are looking at.

I'm a member of the Senate Ag Committee, have been for some time, and we're looking at potential solutions to make sure that we can help support farmers until some of markets come back. Well, what you could do is stop the tariffs. That's what you could do. And I wonder, I mean, I'm just wondering out loud now, this is the part of the video where I wonder out loud. But if China now has another place that they can buy soybeans, why would they come back to us? And maybe potentially has Donald Trump just completely screwed over that market and screwed over our farmers indefinitely. That's a question worth asking. One, I don't answer. I don't answer. Or a question have the answer to but one that we should all be asking well thank you for watching if you'd like this video please hit like on the video please share this video i think more people need to know
