1
00:00:00,534 --> 00:00:01,068
There have been

2
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:01,902
dizzying developments

3
00:00:01,969 --> 00:00:03,403
in the war with Iran.

4
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:04,671
Even as the price of oil

5
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:05,906
goes up and down

6
00:00:05,973 --> 00:00:07,407
with mixed messaging

7
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:08,942
while the price at the pump

8
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:09,910
stays high.

9
00:00:09,977 --> 00:00:11,111
What are your constituents

10
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,479
saying about what it means

11
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:13,747
for them here at home?

12
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:14,848
Well, I'm hearing mostly

13
00:00:14,915 --> 00:00:15,883
about the costs.

14
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:17,551
We have had

15
00:00:17,618 --> 00:00:20,087
the highest cost really ever

16
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:22,189
on average for gasoline

17
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:24,057
at $4.50 on average

18
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:27,628
across the state.

19
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:30,564
Farmers are really reaching out

20
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:33,166
to describe the shortage

21
00:00:33,233 --> 00:00:34,301
of fertilizer

22
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:35,769
as well as the high price

23
00:00:35,836 --> 00:00:37,437
if they can source it.

24
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:38,372
This will affect

25
00:00:38,438 --> 00:00:39,640
what they're able to plant

26
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:40,707
this year.

27
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:42,910
And that's all on top of

28
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:44,611
the president's

29
00:00:44,678 --> 00:00:46,013
previous trade wars

30
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:47,915
that have cut off markets

31
00:00:47,981 --> 00:00:49,816
for our farmers

32
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:52,419
and have really jacked up

33
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:54,087
the cost of inputs.

34
00:00:54,154 --> 00:00:56,523
So, I would say overwhelming

35
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:58,559
opposition to the war

36
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:01,628
but mostly articulated by folks

37
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:02,963
who are just

38
00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:04,131
feeling the squeeze.

39
00:01:04,198 --> 00:01:06,567
They were already feeling

40
00:01:06,633 --> 00:01:08,569
the lack of affordability

41
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,637
prior to the war beginning.

42
00:01:10,704 --> 00:01:12,306
This is just double down

43
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:14,041
on that.
