00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:09,877
>> After trading new
airstrikes with Iran this

2
00:00:09,943 --> 00:00:12,579
week, President Trump
suddenly announced a deal

3
00:00:12,646 --> 00:00:16,350
was imminent and could be
signed this weekend. This

4
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,886
comes after inflation
reached a new high since

5
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:22,890
the conflict began.
Wisconsin's U.S. senator

6
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:26,193
spoke with WPR this week,
responding to questions

7
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:29,963
about high fuel costs and
fertilizer prices for

8
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:33,333
farmers.
>> A lot of them don't have

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,804
the money right now to fill
their tanks for planting

10
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:40,841
season and then fertilizer.
Many of our farmers are

11
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:43,544
having to do without the
full complement of

12
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:46,813
fertilizer that they need
for their fields. This is

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,717
going to have ramifications
for months and months to

14
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:54,955
come. And our farmers work
harder than anyone I know.

15
00:00:55,022 --> 00:00:59,526
So, you know, there may be
a glitzy rally that the

16
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:03,263
president holds in
Wisconsin, but that does

17
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:07,601
nothing to deal with the
real harm our farmers and

18
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:12,072
ultimately the American
consumers of their products

19
00:01:12,139 --> 00:01:16,443
will have to deal with.
>> In June of 2022, because

20
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:19,046
of President Biden and the
Democrats policy, they're

21
00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:22,115
waging the war on fossil
fuels. Average gasoline

22
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:26,753
prices were $5 a gallon.
Yeah. I don't like the high

23
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:28,889
fuel prices, the high
fertilizer prices. Nor does

24
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:32,826
President Trump know, nor
do any of us. But I also

25
00:01:32,893 --> 00:01:36,063
recognize that what would
be far worse is if Iran

26
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:38,899
became a nuclear power and
they wiped out our grid.

27
00:01:38,966 --> 00:01:41,835
That would be orders and
orders of magnitude worse

28
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:44,638
as well. So hopefully this
is just short term pain. It

29
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:48,308
is painful, I recognize
that, but that's why the

30
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:53,514
sooner this war, the sooner
sooner this war, the sooner
