Double tap.
Hey, how are you?
Good.
You bring cheese curds and beer
for us?
Well...
Liberty and justice for
all.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
to the stage Tony Nasvik to
sing our national anthem.
Test one, two.
There we go.
Isn't this a great afternoon?
We're going to sing the national
anthem. I ask everybody to remove
your cover, please.
And let's raise the roof on this
thing and praise to our God.
Oh, say can
you see by
the dawn's early
light what
so proudly
we hailed
at the twilight's
last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and
bright stars
through the perilous
fight o'er
the ramparts
we watched
were so gallantly
streaming.
And the rocket's
red glare,
the bombs bursting
in air.
Gave proof
through that night
that our flag
was still there.
Oh, say does
that star-spangled
banner yet
wave
O'er the land
of the free.
And the home
of the
brave.
Heavenly shades of night
are falling,
it's twilight time.
Out of the mist your voice
is calling, it
is twilight time.
When purple colored
curtains mark the
end of day, I'll
hear you, my dear,
at twilight's light.
Deepening shadows gather
splendor as
day is done Fingers
of night will soon surrender
the setting sun
I count the moments,
darling, till you're here
with me Together
at last at twilight
night
Here
In the afterglow
of day, we
keep our rendezvous
beneath the
blue.
And in the speed and same old
way, I fall
in love again as
I did then.
Deep in the dark, your kiss
will fill me like
days of old.
Lighting the spark of
love that fills me with
dreams untold
Each day I pray for
evening just to
be with you Together
at last at
twilight time
And they have
Beneath the blue
In the sweet and
simple way I
fall in love again
As I did
then Deep
in the dark your kiss will
thrill me Like
days of old
Lighting the spark of
love that fills me
With dreams untold
Each day I pray
for evening just to
be here Together,
at last at twilight night
Together
Well, there she is.
Let's ask her.
Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're
wearing?
Gee, it must be great riding with
him. Is he picking you up after
school today?
By the way, where'd you meet him?
Candy star, you turned around
and smiled at me You get the
picture? Yes, we see
That's when I fell for
The leader of the pack
Five folks were always
putting him down
Down,
down They said he came from
the wrong
what I feel for the
leader of the pack.
One day my dad said
find someone new
I'm sorry,
I hurt you, leader of
the pack.
He sort of smiled.
He kissed me goodbye.
The tears were beginning to show.
As he drove away on that rainy
night, I begged him to go
slow.
And what he heard, I'll never
know.
Look out! Look out, look out!
I've felt so helpless,
what could I do?
The leader of the pack!
Maybe I didn't
love you
Why, as often as
I could have...
Maybe I didn't
treat you
Quite as good as
I should have.
If I made you feel
second best
Girl, I'm sorry I
was blind
You were always on
my mind
You were always on
my mind
Maybe I didn't
hold you...
All those lonely, lonely
times
I guess I
never told...
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have
said done
I just never took the
time
When you were always on
my mind
Tell me that your sweet
love hasn't died
Give me
Give me one
The things I should have said
now
I just never took the
time
You were always on
my mind
Love is
a burning thing
And it makes a
fiery ring
Bound by
wild desire
I fell into a ring of
fire I
fell in to
a burning ring of fire I
went down down down
and the flames went higher
and it burns burns
burns the ring
of fire the
ring
I fell into
a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down,
and the flames went higher,
and it burns, burns,
burns, the ring of fires,
the rings of fires.
The taste of
love is sweet.
When hearts like
ours meet.
I fell for you like a
child
Oh, but the fire went
wild.
I fell into
a burning ring of fire.
I went down, down, and
the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns,
the ring of the fire.
The ring of a fire.
I fell into
a burning ring of fire
I went down, down,
down and the flames went
higher And it burns,
burns, burns The
ring of fire The
ring of fire And
it burns, burns,
burns The ring of
fire The ring
of fire The
ring of fire The
ring of

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
to the stage, Congressman Tom
Tiffany.
Since I was young
Hey, how's everybody today?
Wisconsin, are you ready for a new
governor?
Yeah, yeah.
How would you like to have a
governor that knows a
little bit about milk and cows here
in June dairy month?
Yeah,
you know, our opponents earlier
this week posted a picture
of a couple what
were livestock,
but they were not cows
that could produce milk.
How about if we have a governor that
knows the difference between a bull
and a cow?
Folks, I grew up not far from here,
just about 30 miles to the west of
here, a little town, Elmwood,
Wisconsin, grew up on a dairy
car, yeah, Elwood, hear it,
yeah. Yeah, yeah great
spot, grew with my seven brothers
and sisters. We learned the value of
hard work every day.
My job, 6 o'clock in the morning,
I went out and fed the calves, went
on to UW River Falls, got an
agricultural degree, and then
settled in the great north woods of
Wisconsin.
Where my wife and I started our own
business and raised three
daughters there.
Wisconsin is a great state.
We were blessed, we were
blessed to be able to live the
American dream right here in
Wisconsin and the commitment I make
to all of you, we are going
to make sure that your kids and your
grandkids are gonna be able to
achieve their dreams right here, in
Wisconsin.
Yeah.
But we've seen the state of
Wisconsin has been in decline over
the last couple years, and we can
do so much better.
And the commitment that I make to
you is I will bring a record of
results. I will brings common
sense to Madison.
And, and, we're going to
provide the leadership you deserve
to unlock the great potential of
the state Wisconsin.
Let's make Wisconsin great again.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
to the stage, Congressman Derek
Van Orden.
Where are you?
Thank you so much for coming out!
Who here is excited to see President
Donald J.
Trump?
Yes!
Yes Yes to those Brooke
Rollins is here our awesome
Secretary of Agriculture I want to
welcome everybody who's not from
the third to the third This is
the most beautiful productive
awesome space in the
entire planet and you're welcome to
our home
If anybody,
anybody you hear says that Donald
Trump in this administration doesn't
care about the farmers, you can look
him straight in the eye and tell him
that's a pile of manure because the
man is right back there.
Yeah!
We're going to make sure that
our farmers don't have to wring
their hands at night because they're
worried about paying the bills.
We're doing everything we possibly
can to make that people who aren't
farmers, that eat what comes off a
farm, don't need to wringle their
damn hands either.
We're gonna bring everything down,
these costs down, and make sure
America is going to be great again,
and we're going be financially
prosperous, and that is why
President Donald J.
Trump is here today!
So the sooner I get off the stage,
the sooner I can actually come out
there and say hi to you and shake
your hands.
I want to say this last thing.
I hope that God blesses you and your
family.
I hope God bless the great state
of Wisconsin, and that God blessed
the United States of America.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
to the stage, Secretary of
Agriculture, Brooke Rollins.
Hello,
Wisconsin!
Who is so
excited that President
Donald J.
Trump is here today
with us on this beautiful
farm in Wisconsin?
Oh my goodness, y'all.
Listen, a couple of really quick
things, and then I think we're going
to get this show on the road.
Number one, there is
no one, no president
in American history, at least
in our lifetimes, that loves
our farmers and rural America
more than President Trump.
Can I hear an amen?
There is no one that is going
to fight more to ensure
that we can preserve the
last best hope of freedom in
the world.
And the only way to do that is
to preserve this way of life.
Rural America, the heart of America,
the original founding of America are
incredible agriculture,
rural America, farmers, ranchers.
Can I get an amen?
There is nowhere in America,
nowhere in the world, but in this
country where we put our farmers,
our ranchers, what we do, what you
do every day, the righteousness
of tilling the land, the
hard work, the importance
of feeding and fueling
and clothing, not only America,
but the world.
Can I get an amen?
Y'all.
It is the honor of a lifetime
to serve in President Trump's
cabinet.
It is an honor of lifetime to be the
33rd Secretary of
Agriculture.
You all have to know that every
minute of every day of
every week of every month,
we are fighting for you.
And you have to understand that we
understand the extraordinary
challenges that we are facing
right now out in rural America.
But I also want you to know
that no one will work harder.
No one will fight harder and
no one Will basically
no one'll be your back have your
back more than President Donald
Trump. Can I get an amen?
You know, the final thing I want to
say is that we are celebrating the
250th birthday of America
this year.
And in fact, just in a few weeks in
Washington and around this country,
when George Washington, our founding
farmer, also founding
father, decided to stand up
and to fight for freedom with Thomas
Jefferson, with James Madison,
with John Adams, they were just
normal, everyday average
Americans who knew that God
had called them for something
greater than what they were
doing. Who knew that they were
called for this moment in time to
save freedom, to save our country,
to start the best, most
incredible experiment of
freedom in world history.
And now today, together
in this hall, we are all
called for that same moment
in times.
God bless you all.
God bless Wisconsin.
God bless our farmers and our
ranchers. We will never stop
fighting for you.
God bless y'all. Thank you so much.
I know.
I know that you can't
love me When there's no
one left to blame
There's a man's world
But it'll never be nothing
Without a woman,
I'm a girl
Said one more time,
this is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Without
a woman or
a girl
Take us over the roads
Man made the train
Carrying a heavy load
Man made these lights for
light Take us out of the dark
Man made a boat for the water
Like no Omega This
is a man's world
But it would be nothing,
nothing, without a woman or
a girl
man thinks about a little bit of
baby girls and
a baby boy
Man make them happy,
cause man make them toy
Man makes money,
to buy from other men,
this is a man's world!
But it wouldn't mean nothing,
NOTHING!
About a woman or a girl.
Oh, man needs a woman,
man got to have a woman.
He needs a woman,
man, make everything he can.
But a woman makes a better man.
Man needs a women.
Man think about anything above.
But money can't buy him love.
Face the fact,
you got to face the fact.
Man needs a woman
Needs a woman out there
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The man needs a woman,
he needs a women
It's been seven
hours and fifteen
days
you
I go out
every night and
sleep all day
Your love
Since you've been gone,
I could do whatever I
want.
I could say honey, the better
I choose.
I could eat my dinner
in a fancy restaurant
But nothing,
I said nothing can take
a winner's lose
Cause nothing
compares
Nothing compares
Hey
I've been so lonely
without you
Nothing can stop these
lonely tears from
falling
Tell me baby,
where did I go wrong?
I walk around,
every boy I see.
I went to the doctor
and guess what he told me,
guess what he told me.
He said, girl, you better try
to have fun no matter
what you do.
All the flowers that
you place above it
In the backyard
I know that living with
you, baby, was such a
good thing.
Nothing compares
to you
Nothing compares
They compare to
you
PLEASE, PLEAASE,
PLEAAASE, PLEEEAASE-
Peace!
Oh, I love you
so
Baby, you did
me wrong
Well, well,

You know you've got me
wrong, you know you done,
done me wrong.
Well, oh, well with
my love, now you
go home.
Honey, please,

I love you so.
I just wanna hear you say, I.
I love you so
Baby, take
my hand
I want to be your
love of man

Because I love
you so Please,

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

Where do I begin
to tell the
story of how great
a love can be?
The sweet love story that
is older than the sea
The simple truth

Where do I start?

Cause here we
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of
Texas, from sea
to shining sea,
from Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.,
where there's pride in every
American heart, and it's
time we stay.
Don't you really
Thank you very much, everybody.
I just did an interview in the most
beautiful barn I've ever seen.
Ken, it was a beauty, but it was
raining.
And it was with
NBC fake news.
And because it was rain, I
got a little bit angry with them.
I was not happy with them, but
we had a good time.
I just want to thank everybody for
being here. We love the farmers.
We love everything about your state.
And, you know, we won your state by
a lot, and we've had
great success here in Wisconsin,
and we brought a lot of business to
Wisconsin. We recommend it.
I love the place.
And hopefully, you're going to be
voting Republican, because,
frankly, Republican is — I call it
the sane way to go.
It's the sane, because
what I'm seeing from the Democrats,
they're going have some problems.
And, by the way, if they don't, if
they win, this country is finished.
We're in trouble.
So — I hate to say
that you have no choice, but I don't
think you have much of a choice.
These are some very sick puppies
that I'm looking at that are running
for office, and on the other
side. I call them the Democrats,
D-U-M.
You take out the B, a lot of people
don't know dumb as a B, you take out
a B.
And you change the E, you put the
U, and you have a Democrat.
But their policy is
just outstandingly bad,
and it's really bad for the farmer.
Because we were having record stuff,
and then we had to put out a fire.
We had to extinguish a
nuclear weapon, a capable nuclear,
this was going to be a very
capable country that
was going to have a massive nuclear
presence, and we weren't going to
let that happen.
Nobody wanted that to happen.
And we've largely finished that,
you'll see.
And one way or the other, it's
finished. One way, one
way, or the another, it is finished.
It's either finished with a piece of
paper or finished in a more
difficult way, although you could
say a much easier way.
As you know, with Iran, they have no
Navy, 159
ships in four days.
Even Ken is impressed by that, four
days, 158 ships at
the bottom of the sea.
Not that we like that, but that's
the way it is.
The blockade is unbelievable.
There's never been a blockade like
that. The Navy is — we have the
greatest military anywhere in the
world. There's ever been a military
like that —
And if you remember when all
the heat I was taking from the
Democrats will be nice.
I'll use Democrats at least half the
time. But if you're remember
the heat that I had to take
to get help for
the farmer and also to get
helped for the military, because
they don't want anything to do with
the military. The farmer, for
the most part, they don't want
anything do with anything good.
And that's why the midterms are
coming up. And I hope you people
are really spiritized because.
We're at a point, we're going to
come out of Iran very quickly,
and it's going to be very strong,
one way or the other.
Whether it's a piece of paper or the
very tough way, okay?
The very tough ways may be the
easier way.
But we're gonna come out and your
fertilizer prices are gonna go way
down, just like they were four
months ago. Your fertilizer's down,
your energy's down.
Your oil, your gas is
all coming way down.
And frankly, I thought it would go
much higher than it did.
I thought, frankly, that.
A gasoline would be much higher than
it was. I was in Iowa, another
place I like a lot.
And it was just before we started
the excursion to Iran.
And we passed gas stations,
it was $1.85 a
gallon. And we're going to get them
down to those numbers again very
quickly.
But-
But as they say
in the farming business, we had to
take care of business.
Look at this guy over here.
I don't know who the hell he is, but
he is one hell of a specimen I can
tell you about.
This guy is one of
a physical specimen.
I thought I was big until I met you,
Joe, you know, you're fantastic.
It's what I like.
Anyway, I just want to let you
all know that I'm thrilled to be
here at Custer Farms.
Ken and his family, they're amazing.
I took pictures with them backstage
and got to know them a little bit.
They're really amazing people.
They built this country.
You all built this county.
Not the complainers, not the wise
guys. You all build this country,
and I just want to-
And I just want to just let you know
that Wisconsin for me has been just
a great place, you know, it's known
as difficult.
It's difficult, you got to be good
to win.
But we won here, as you know we won
it a lot.
And we're trying to figure out who
the few people that voted against us
are, we're looking for them right
now.
But today we're celebrating the
historic strides for some of the
most loyal, hardworking
patriots anywhere in the nation and
They're really called our American
farmers, and we're with you 1,000%,
or I wouldn't be here with
you.
Like you wouldn't believe, and
you're going to see some very good
things happen over the next 90
day period.
I told Ken, 90 days,
watch what happens, you're gonna be
better, better than you were four
months ago.
And before we begin, I'm delighted
to report that for the third month
in a row, the jobs numbers,
I guess you saw them this morning.
They just got released and
they smashed all expectations
by Actually, three times
with.
And this is during a military
conflict. I call it that because
it's really not that much of
a war.
But it's a military contract.
It's a practice.
But this is 172,000
jobs were created in May.
That's about four times higher than
anticipated.
And experts predicted 30,000
job. These are the strongest
job numbers of the entire
administration so far.
And that's during this conflict on
top of it. So it's great.
And we have a thing, we have problem
in this country because it
used to be if you're, I'm a little
older than a couple of you, but
I don't feel old.
I feel the same as I did 50 years
ago, it's crazy, Mr. Senator.
We got a great senator right here,
Ron.
But I do feel the saying,
but in the old days,
if you had good job numbers,
like great job numbers like they
announced today, the stock market
goes up.
Today, everything is crazy.
The whole world is crazy So when
you have great job numbers, the
stock market goes down, because
they think interest rates will go
up. And when interest rates go
up, they stop inflation.
Well, you know what else stops
inflation?
Growth actually stops inflation,
and they ought to go back to the old
system. When we have good numbers,
the markets ought to up, not go
down, and it would be, that's the
way you build greatness.
You build greatness that way.
So I think it's going to, we have a
great gentleman coming in, Kevin
Warsh, he's going do a fantastic
job.
At the Fed, we're getting rid of too
late.
But we have, Kevin is
one of the greats, so you're gonna
see. But you're going to see, beyond
anything, you're to see numbers
coming in over the next
more than two and a half.
We have two and half years plus.
Can you believe how time flies,
right? And can you believe the
work we've done?
You know, it's sad because
you have speech writers and
you have advisors and you all these
people and generally you don't like
listening to any of them Because if
you do, you're in trouble.
But I said, you know, I want to
write about the border, and
I want talk about the boarder.
Because when I came here, we had the
most unsafe, we have the
worst boarder maybe anywhere in the
world.
There was no boarder, 25 million
people came in, drug dealers came
in.
People from mental institutions
came in murderers came in 11,888
murders. Most of whom, over
50% of whom killed,
can you believe this, more than one
person. One killed seven
people. We allowed them into our
country. We've got them largely.
They're going out, and they're going
out fast.
We have to fight crooked judges,
crooked administrations, crooked
politicians, but they're going
out fast, but we have
the safest border in our
history for the last 12
months.
And this is a hard number to
believe, but I don't give it.
It's a number that's out there.
You've heard it.
Zero people have come
into our country.
Through our southern
border, zero.
That's a little hard to do, isn't
it?
It's a little hard.
If they said like 20 people, I would
have been, you know, 25 million
came in through Sleepy Joe Biden.
So we had zero people.
And these are done by largely sort
of a radical leading, leading
left people, the reports, but
it is what it is.
And the good thing is they don't try
to come in. It makes it a lot easier
because they know it's going to be
very hard to come.
Now, we take people in, but they
have to come illegally.
We want people to come, but after
coming legally.
But I say, let's talk about
the border, sir.
Nobody cares about the border.
He said, I won the election on the
border, let's talk about the- Sir,
I'm telling you, nobody cares,
run. Nobody cares the border
you fix the border I want to
brag about it.
Sir, they want to hear about
other things like fertilizer.
And we'll take care of fertilizer
too. You know when I also came in,
eggs were like the
highest. And remember this,
I inherited all these high prices.
They came in and
they said, affordability.
They made up the word, because
that's the only thing they're good
at, although I'm good at making up
words. They go,
affordability.
I was there one day, and
I said to our great Secretary of
Agriculture, what's with the egg
prices? So on my second day,
I gave a news conference, which was
more news conferences that
Biden gave in like six months.
But in my, he almost,
he didn't do it.
Yeah.
Sleepy Joe was not heavy into news
conferences, all right?
He'd take one question.
He'd go, oh, let's see.
Let's see,
Jim Smith from
NBC?
I don't do that.
They just start screaming at me.
So I had a news conference on my
second day.
And they said, what about eggs?
What about eggs, tell me about eggs.
I said, What's the story with eggs?
Give me a little hand, what's with
eggs. They said, what's happening
with eggs?
And I was told, you know, we
have the great Easter egg hunt at
the White House, and I was told to
order plastic eggs.
I said, I'm not ordering plastic
eggs, and called this young lady
right over here, Brooke Rollins,
Secretary of Agriculture, and said,
Brooke, get the egg prices
down, please.
And she got them down.
And by the way, speaking of Tom
Tiffany, he's one of the best
congressmen in
our
And I was there, I don't know,
seven, eight years ago, right at the
beginning, I endorsed this guy.
I didn't know. I had no idea, but I
liked his last name.
You know why?
Because I bought the air rights many
years ago off Tiffany, and I made a
lot of money.
So I saw Tom Tiffany,
I backed him, and he went like a
rocket ship, and he won, and you've
kept winning, and now he's running
for a thing called governor,
and you have-
And you have — I don't want to
knock him because he's finished
after this, but you have a very
sleepy governor, too, and you
got a very sleeping — but I can tell
you, Tom Tiffany is running for
governor. He's a winner, and he's
going to do a great job, okay?
God bless you.
So in a single month,
we added 7,000 new manufacturing
jobs and 17,000 construction
jobs, and we're building more
plants than at any time in the
history of our country.
We have $18 trillion coming
into the United States.
As an example, the previous
administration, in four
years, think of this,
had much less than
$1 trillion come in.
We have 18 trillion
dollars from countries and people
all over the world.
In 11 months, not even in one year.
So that's some difference.
And I think that's probably why
people are shocked to see the job
numbers, because the construction
jobs are through the roof.
But when these plants, car plants
and AI plants and all the different
plants, when they open up,
you know, we're leading China by a
lot. I just got back from China, I
was with President Xi, who I
respect.
But we're leaving China by lot in
the AI race, a very important race.
And we're eating everybody now when
it comes to cars.
They're coming in from Germany,
they're coming from Japan.
They're coming in from Canada.
Canada treats you guys rough, you
know? Canada, they put on big
tariffs.
We didn't meet them with tariffs.
I took care of them on my first term
really strongly, and I am now,
but Canada's been very rough.
You find them rough to deal with?
Yes, you're pretty rough to dealing
with. He's more of a diplomat than
me.
And... We are doing well, the
previous two months we were
revised upward by nearly 100,000
jobs. They put the numbers too low,
so actually we had 100,00 more
jobs than they reported.
They were obviously Democrats,
right? Wages for workers continue
to rise, and for manufacturing
workers, wages are up more
than 8% since I took office,
which is close to a record.
Think of that, a blue collar
is doing better than it's ever done
before, and your farmers.
If you remember, we had a bad
patch in my first term where
China and other countries were
sort of boycotting the United
States.
And I met with the farmers
and I said, I'm going to get you
something for it because you've been
treated very badly.
And I got $28
billion for the farmers in
the first term, remember?
I just asked Ken whether or not he
got it. He said, he did.
And we're looking at something also
right now. We're looking to
something to take the place of
what's happened.
Because it's artificial.
What happened to you is artificial
with the energy and with the
fertilizer.
So we're looking at something.
But in the first term, I
got the farmers $28
billion. And I'll never forget, I
was in the White House.
I had about 35 farmers along this
big, beautiful table.
Not as beautiful as this table,
okay?
But this gorgeous, beautiful White
House table, all the best.
And I said, I'm gonna
get you a subsidy.
And they looked at me, and he just
said the same thing.
One of them looked at me, stood up,
said, sir, we don't want subsidy.
We just want an even playing field.
I said, nobody ever said that to me.
All they want is money.
You understand that?
First time.
Nobody ever said that.
I've had so many meetings with
different groups, different
industries.
If I said, I'm going to get you $28
billion, they say, oh, get it
as fair.
They actually said, we don't want
it. Now, I got it for you anyway.
I didn't notice anybody turning it
down, but I got.
But they said something that no
other group said, Ron.
They said, We don't a subsidy.
We just want just
an even playing field, fair trade.
They just wanted to be treated
fairly.
And nobody else has said that but
the farmers, so we love you.
We love you guys.
So we're building more factories now
than at any time, and we've also
had huge drops.
And I'll tell you, this is something
that's amazing.
African-American unemployment is
now doing better than it's
ever done.
And I don't know where that
stat came from, but I'll take it.
I don't know where the hell that
stat come from, but we'll take.
And a short time ago, we were a dead
country. We're dead as a door now.
If you look, go back two years,
we were a laughing stock all over
the world. We had a president that
couldn't walk up a flight of stairs.
He couldn't work down a flight of
stairs either.
And we had everybody.
We were a laugh stock all the world,
and I was with the King of Saudi
Arabia because I wanted him to
invest trillions of dollars
into our country.
Look at that whole situation now,
too. It's very interesting.
But.
He was good, and he said to me,
you know, President, it's amazing.
A year ago, a year and a half ago,
we thought you were a dead country.
And now you're the hottest country
anywhere in the world that we are.
We're the strongest, we're the
hardest, and we're the most
respected country anywhere on the
world.
So, as I said, the stock market
just hit 73 all-time
records. In a short period of time,
we've had 73 all time
record highs.
And your 401Ks, who has a
401K here?
Let me just say, a lot.
Your 401K's, as you know, just
hit a record high.
So, that's everybody.
And we're just off a
very big success in Washington,
DC. We had,
it doesn't sound like much.
Washington, D.C.
Was not properly managed or kept.
We had 22 fountains.
None of them worked for the last
50 years, none of them.
They were graffiti strewn.
I did it the inexpensive way.
Why should we have a screen?
Everybody here has good vision.
I want to show you something.
Look at this.
I'm going to show the cheap way,
okay?
We don't want to bring screens.
It costs too much money.
Isn't it?
That's before and after.
Look at that.
Look at it. Can everybody see that?
That's Before.
That's our nation's capital.
That's why, look at this graffiti
all over it, filthy, disgusting
stone. The stone was all horrible.
And look over there, that's before
and after.
Then we had the reflecting pond,
2,500 feet, massive,
longer than a building.
We have a stat here that's sort of
great. Can you guys see this okay?
Because I'm too cheap to put up like
a projector.
Look, so that's
the pond, if we're
standing up.
Here's your Sears Tower,
Empire State Building, World Trade
Center. Look, it's double
and triple the size in terms of
area.
So it would have cost $400
million, Ron,
to fix.
It would have taken four years.
And they were getting ready.
Doug Burgum has done an amazing job.
And I said, rather than doing that,
they were going to put stone down,
big stone, granite, wonderful.
But it all leaks because you have
joints. So, being a very good
builder.
I said, you know what?
I built a lot of swimming pools,
many, many swimming pools.
Every time I do a development, I do
swimming pools I know more about
swimming pools I said why can't
we put the
wonderful material which is thick,
pasty, beautiful like rubber
but industrial strength?
Why can't use it?
And let's pick the color blue from
the American flag which is what we
did and that is the
most beautiful thing that you've
ever seen.
And look at that, I mean, look
at it.
It just opened yesterday, we
just opened it.
So it was going to take four
years, 400
million.
It took really about a month.
Okay, can you imagine
Washington between Lincoln?
Think of Washington, D.C., between
the Lincoln Memorial and
the Washington.
Just think about this, you know
that beautiful spire?
In honor of the great George
Washington and the beautiful
Lincoln Memorial.
So between there, thousands of
feet long, it was built in
1922, and to be honest,
it never really worked.
It leaked like a sieve, because it
was stone and concrete.
So I took over the project.
Now Barack Hussein Obama, have you
heard of him? Barack Hussein.
Barack Hussein Obama
spent and Joe Biden,
sleepy Joe, they spent a
total of about $150 million
trying to fix it.
They never got it opened, it never
worked. It was terrible, disgusting,
it was garbage-ridden.
And I said to my pool guy, I said,
take a look at it.
And he said, well, sir,
we can do it.
We'll get industrial strength.
And I used some guys, not him, I
used them guys, but he gave me some
good ideas because he's a pro.
You know, they got very upset when I
sent my pool person.
I said, who else am I going to send?
So I sent them over,
and we sprayed it and put down
beautiful,
like a pool coating.
It'll last maybe 50 to 100
years.
So here's the thing.
400 million versus,
like, 10 million.
Four years.
Four years versus
a month.
Can you imagine?
Can you image? Thank you.
And.
And the difference is,
look, here's your Lincoln Memorial.
You have the Washington Monument
and the Lincoln Memorial, look at
that, beautiful.
Look at how that reflects, it's like
a mirror.
Oh, beautiful clean water, they had
like garbage.
Barack Obama wanted to save
money, so he took the water out
of the Potomac.
That didn't work out too well.
A lot of things were coming out of
that river into this one, it wasn't
good. So we just think of
it. So Like a
month of this work, we actually
added to it. We did the sidewalks,
because once we did this, we had to
do the rest, because it looked so
good.
But think of it, 400
million versus like 10 million bucks
for a better job.
Four years versus a
month for a a better a
job. We have many things like that.
I talk about that all the time.
We do a lot of things like.
So we're very proud of Washington.
We had 22 fountains that
didn't work.
All of the fountains, not one
fountain in Washington worked.
Out of the 22 fountain, they're all
looking beautiful, just like the one
I showed you.
And now they're clean,
they are beautiful, there's no
graffiti.
Washington DC is a safe city, it
was a very unsafe city a
year and a half ago.
And-
A very unsafe city.
Your child would go to see the
Jefferson Memorial, or the
Washington, or the Lincoln, or
any of them, and
would often time not come back.
It was a horrible place.
It was horrible what was happening.
And we put our great military in
there, and we did a job.
We removed 5,000 people that
were career criminals.
2% of the people, think
of this, 2% of
the the people did you know this,
Ron, create 91% of crime.
And I love that statistic, because
you can get rid of 2%.
And we took them out.
We brought them back to where they
came from.
Many of them came in through
Sleepy Joe's open border policy,
one of the craziest policies I've
ever heard.
So we saved a lot of money.
And you go to Washington, DC,
new grass.
People say they don't even recognize
it. We did that all in
a little bit more than a year.
And even I said, it's amazing.
But maybe the biggest thing is
We don't have, it's considered now a
very, very safe city.
And you can go there, and you're
going to be 100% perfect.
We had the restaurants were all
closing, and now they're opening
up. They don't even have enough
restaurants anymore.
It's a beautiful thing to see.
Every day my administration is
fighting to protect and defend the
jobs and livelihood of our great
farmers.
I love our farmers, our growers,
agricultural producers, ranchers.
From coast to coast.
Crippled you with the worst
inflation.
So the Biden administration had
the worst inflation in the history
of our country.
They say 49 years, 48
years, but whether you
say 48 or forever,
I think it was forever, we had the
worst inflation we've ever had.
And think of that and failed to
negotiate even a single new trade
deal for our farmers.
They didn't negotiate one new
new trade deal.
For our farmers.
I just made a great deal.
I came back from presidency and he's
buying billions and billions
of dollars worth of soybeans and
other things and you're seeing that
starting to kick in.
Thank you.
So by contrast, in my first
year back in the Oval Office,
average farm incomes for
agricultural producers in our
country have skyrocketed
by more than 20%.
Now, it's been
over the last couple of months since
we went in for the military
operation.
You've seen fertilizer go up, and
you've seen energy go up.
It's going to come down to where it
was or lower.
You'll be very happy.
Otherwise, Ken is going to call me.
He's going ball me out, and I'll
say, sorry, Ken.
I was only kidding, right?
All right, he knows I'm going to do
it.
With Republicans in Congress like
Tom Tiffany, like Derek Van Orden,
where is Derek? Where is Derek,
Derek?
This guy is, he fights
like hell.
He's in a little bit of a community
that tends to be on slightly
a little more than we want in
left, but he loves them all and
he's very popular and he is going
to win by a lot.
You're doing well, I understand
you're really doing well.
Thank you, Derek.
And he's a real fighter, and he's
great guy, we've been friends right
from, all of us, we been friends
from the beginning.
So we passed the largest tax cuts
in American history with a
great big beautiful bill.
We made the small business
tax deduction permanent,
benefiting 98% of the farmers
and ranchers.
We gave you 100% expensing
and bonus depreciation.
So when you buy a new tractor or
anything else you buy, you're
allowed to deduct it, do you buy any
new tractors? Got a lot of nice
trackers, man.
Got a lot of tractors back there, by
the way, but so you can
deduct it and the full cost of
the tractors, one year, any
equipment, one year, all,
you can deduce it all in the first
year instead of over a period of
many, many years.
And we also saved the $2 million.
Thank you very much.
That's a big deal, actually.
We also saved $2,000,000 American
farms from, think of that,
from extinction by ending what we
did. Is we got rid of the
estate tax or the death tax.
So if you love your child.
If you love your child, if you
don't love your child, then don't
worry about it. It doesn't make any
sense. Does anybody not love your
child in the audience?
No, but if you have a farm like
this, someday it's going to come to
time, right?
And I met your boys, and he loves
his boys. I know that because he
started clapping for that last
statement about no death tax.
And he was clapping. He didn't clap
for anything else.
That means you love you boys.
So, boys, I just found out your
father loves you.
But think of it.
We were, and I was seeing this in my
first term. We did it my first time.
We did now, we extended it out.
So you have no estate tax or no, we
call it the death tax on a farm or a
small business.
Now, I saw it
myself.
You have a way of life that
sometimes you're land rich and
cash poor, sometimes you have lots
of different conditions.
But people that are on farms love.
Being on farms.
You wouldn't trade my life, you
wouldn't want my life.
Believe me, you don't want it.
Your life is much better than my
life." I will tell you, your ear
wasn't a little pierced over here.
You didn't get pierced.
You have a nice, safe,
beautiful life. But I've seen it
with farmers maybe more than any
industry.
People want to have their farm.
It's a way of life.
And they love, they love the
life on the farm.
And the family would leave,
the father would die, the mother
would die. Leave it to the kids.
The kids would have a big estate tax
problem or a death tax problem.
They'd go to the bank, they'd borrow
a lot of money, more money than
they should have borrowed, couldn't
make a deal, and they'd end up
losing the farm.
In many cases, I have to say,
they do terrible things.
They'd commit suicide.
They'd lose their farm.
They'd loose their way of life.
They couldn't pay the tax.
And I got rid of that tax.
I ended that tax, so I hope you're
happy.
And the Democrats fought me on that,
by the way. If they ever got in, I
think they'd end that.
But if something happens, if you
love your child, you want to leave
it. You have no estate tax,
no death tax to pay.
And every single Democrat in
Congress voted against these
critical measures.
They voted against the no tax on
tips, no tax social security,
no tax and overtime.
They all voted against all of this
stuff. They voted it against a tax
reduction.
They voted again all of it.
And they voted again, saving your
family farms from the death tax.
So just remember that when you go
into the polls, because they'll
change it back immediately.
There's something wrong with these
people.
All of these things that we
have done, and Tom Tiffany, I have
to say, you were so helpful,
and Derek, the job you've done with
me, and helping to get
it passed.
And let me tell you, that man is a
senator. He loves the farmers, and
he loves your state.
And he doesn't care about anything
else. He wants to make sure you get
treated fairly.
And there's no better advocate,
you have no better advocate
than Ron Johnson, so thank
you, Mr. Satterman.
Thank you.
And he'll be a hell of a governor.
I know the guy who'll drive you
crazy, he'll be calling me,
President, you got to send more
money to Wisconsin.
Leave me alone, all right?
He'll do well, too.
Thank you.
As president, I fought for the
American farmer like no one has ever
fought before.
Like, I'm up here today.
I don't need this.
I got elected.
I don't have. What the hell do I
have to be here for?
I got it elected.
I'm here because I like the farmer.
I mean, when you think about it, I
guess there's a lot of truth to
that, right?
I could be home right now in the
beautiful White House enjoying
watching somebody else on television
talking.
On day one, I terminated the insane
electric vehicle mandate.
They wanted your tractors to be all
electric.
They wanted you cars to be electric.
And you know, look, Elon, he had a
bad moment, but now he's a friend of
mine again. He had a very bad
moment.
He's 80% brilliant and
20% he's got little bad moments.
But...
I love electric cars, but you know
what, not everybody wants them and
not everybody in terms of distance
and lots of other things.
And I think they're great, but I
also want to see all gasoline.
I want to the hybrids, which
are great.
I want you to have anything.
And they wanted your tractors, you
know, they wanted the tractors to be
turned into all electric.
And that didn't even sound good to
me, right? That didn't sound good
even to me.
And it wouldn't have worked very
long. You would have had to stop
every 15 minutes to get a new
charge.
How would it be if you're driving
your tractor along, everything's
wonderful, and then Candy wants
to work?
He goes, oh man, I gotta go get
a new charge
every 10 minutes.
That's not too good, right?
You'd rather be able to operate it
for about four days before you fill
it up, right.
So anyway, so we solved that
problem. We ended the electric
mandate, okay.
And on day one.
And one of the other reasons,
this would have gutted the
ethanol industry.
Do we have fans here of the ethanol
industries?
Because if they got in, they will
end the ethanol industry in one
swoop. So you better remember that.
And we eliminated all unnecessary
restrictions on sales of E-15.
And I've made it clear that we're
going to go E- 15 all year round.
And I think it's something that you
want, right? So, what, do you like
that? Are you happy with that?
Are you happier?
So they put a lot of these guys,
that's all they talked about.
E- fifteen, they were driving me
crazy.
They called me, can we talk about
E-fifteen? How about something else,
right. Tom Tiffany would call, can
we talk about E-15?
But anyway, but you got your wish,
fellas, okay?
We massively expanded crop
insurance and issued a historic $12
billion in farm relief.
So it's 12 billion, but it was 28
billion in my first, so we're
looking at that right now about
increasing it.
And to stop major equipment
manufacturers from restricting you
from fixing your own farm equipment,
we gave you the right to repair, do
you like it?
The right thing to do.
It was a little strange.
I mean, some of you have better
mechanics than the people of John
Deere. I will of John Dear, Mr.
May of John dear.
But they wanted to, you know, your
tractor's broken down.
I'll bet you can fix a tractor as
well as about anybody else, right?
I could look at this guy.
I guarantee, if
you were mandated, let's say you
have a tractor that's broken and you
know exactly how to fix it, you
wouldn't be too happy about.
Being mandated to bring the tractor
back to John Deere or wherever you
got it, right? You'd like to fix it.
That's so much.
I mean, they actually have, the
Democrats, a restriction that
if you get caught fixing your
tractor, they bring you to jail.
You know that?
You know, that I pardoned a man last
week who was sentenced
to seven years in jail because
he got caught fixing his
car or his truck.
I said, I like to always say, what
did he do?
Sir, he was fixing his truck.
I said, how long is he getting?
Seven years.
I said say it again.
It's the first time I've ever heard,
like two weeks ago, I gave him
a pardon because he had to go to
jail because he was mixing his
tractor or his truck
So I promise, Ken, if you ever get
caught fixing your tractor or truck,
I will give you a pardon, okay?
No, but these are the crazy
Democrats. That's what they want.
I terminated the ridiculous
so-called diesel exhaust fluid
requirement. Does that mean anything
to you?
Joe is happy, so I want to keep
him happy just in case he gets
violent.
He's happy.
And I repealed the
Biden era, EPA,
just the crazy Waters of
the United States rule.
It sounds so nice.
It's the worst rule that you've ever
had. Waters of...
How could it be nicer?
What a beautiful title.
It was like taking your
land away from you.
It was horrible.
And I totally repealed it.
And there are some people...
You know, when I did that repeal...
I had a lot of farmers and
contractors, builders, house
builders, in my office.
And I announced a repeal in
front of them, I signed it, and
these are tough guys.
In fact, they look like him, just
smaller, and who
isn't smaller?
I think everybody's smaller.
But no, they looked like Joe,
and half of them were crying.
You remember that?
Half of them we're crying.
I said, why are you crying?
What's the big deal? He said, you
gave us back our life.
They actually had their life taken
away. They couldn't touch their
land.
If they even touched it, they were
in violation.
They also would go to jail.
That was the crazy environmental
nonsense that we're all putting up
with, which has largely ended.
Perhaps most importantly, with our
historic trade deals, I've
dramatically expanded exports of
American meat, poultry, soybeans,
biofuels, and of course, Wisconsin
dairy the best, right?
And...
And I just see that dairy exports
have surged nearly $1.2
billion under our leadership.
And this is with a
conflict going on.
Remember what I said, Ken, when this
conflict ends, you're
going to see things that you've
never seen before because we are
ready to rock.
We've never had this kind of
investment coming into our country.
Nobody else has either.
Nobody has ever had anywhere
near Not even there,
including China.
Nobody's had this kind of investment
coming in to a country.
So increasing 41% to Japan,
you've increased your sales.
41% in Japan, 48%
to the Middle East, 61%
to European Union,
63% to South Asia,
and 85%
to Australia.
So you're doing pretty well.
You're gonna see it, and you're
gonna see it a lot better in about
three months from now.
I also signed...
Something that you may or may not
like, I don't know, it sounded good
to me. It didn't sound very bad to
me, but people love it.
I also signed the Whole Milk
for Healthy Kids Act, you know what
that means?
Thank you.
That was another one,
I had a big signing at
the White House. We had some people
that have been fighting for that for
years.
I called Ron, I said, Ron, what's
to fight for? I mean, it just sounds
good.
And it's just better, it's healthy,
and I like it.
I drank it, I don't know, it gets
harder to get it. Now we have it, so
that it's totally opened up now for
the kids, and it's great for
anybody.
And now we're working with Congress
to quickly pass the new farm bill.
We're very well into it.
We got some. Great approvals, the
hardest approvals and I think we're
very well on our way to getting the
farm bill finished and approved.
And just to finish up, with the help
of the farmers like those here,
today we're also helping bring down
grocery prices for hardworking
Americans and they're coming down
very rapidly.
Remember, I inherited these prices.
I didn't start, my prices were
great. They rigged the election.
When I turned, the election was
totally rigged.
It was a rig to let, just like
they're rigging.
The election right now, it looks
like in California.
Can you imagine?
It's four days, and
they still aren't even close to
telling you who won.
You know why? Because they're
rigging the election, that's why.
Four days.
You know, in Spain, they had
it like — I'm not a big fan of
Spain, to be honest with you.
It's gone very far left.
But they had an election.
All the votes were in, similar
size to the state of California,
a little larger, actually.
And every vote was in by 10 o'clock
in the evening and counted.
You're going to be waiting weeks
to get these votes.
It's corrupt.
Somebody said it's incompetent.
I said, no, just the opposite.
It's unbelievably competent if you
happen to be.
A Democrat politician,
because with their policies, the
only way they can get elected is
to cheat.
And when you look at an election,
not even relatively a big election,
for one state, for one city,
for Los Angeles, they're nowhere
close to counting the votes.
But you look what's happening, it's
getting tighter and tighter and
tighter, and the people that were
supposed to win, bad
things are happening.
It's a crooked state.
We have crooked third world
elections in a lot of our states.
And we should pass our
Save America Act.
Amazing.
And that'll really stop
it too, that'll stop it.
You know, that's where you have
voter ID, it's where you
have birth of, you know,
your citizenship.
You have to prove your citizenship,
I think that sounds good.
And also, you now, I added a couple
in there, also the ballots, the
voting, the mail-in ballots,
so crooked.
They send millions of ballots out
all over the place.
If you're a Democrat, sometimes you
get six or seven.
If you are a Republican, you have to
call up, Where are my ballots?
It's such a crooked deal with third
world country.
But I added two things, no men
playing in women's sports.
And this is like
best up, no
transgender butylization
surgery on your child,
on your children.
So we added them.
So we inherited very high costs,
so we're getting them down.
They're coming down very rapidly.
And when fuel comes down, they're
really going to come down.
And I just want to say it's an honor
to be here.
We have Senator Ron Johnson.
We have Congressman Tom Tiffany.
We have Congressmen Derek Van Orten.
We have Hall of Fame offensive
lineman Joe Tom.
Oh, look at the size of this guy.
Boy, oh, boy.
So you're a Hall of fame.
Did anybody get by you?
Never.
He's a good-looking man.
That's great, Joe.
It's great to know you.
Really good. Great career, too.
I know who you are.
Former president of Line and
Kugel Brewing Company, Jake
Line and Koogle.
Thank you, Jake.
The owner here of Custer Farms,
and he's a great guy. I think I can
almost call him a friend.
We had a great time back there.
And a wonderful family.
Ken, thank you very much.
And a fantastic
dairy farmer, Jamie Witz-Paleck.
Where is Jamie?
Jamie? Hi, Jamie.
Thank you.
And finally, two-time gold medal
winner in speed skating in this
year's Winter Olympics,
Jordan Stahls.
Where the hell is he?
Whoa.
Oh.
That's pretty good.
Whoa.
Stand up.
Thank you so much.
USA,
USA, USA,
USA,
I'm keeping it.
I'm keeping it Jordan, I'm not
giving it back. I'm a very good guy
for keeping gold.
I like gold.
I'm never giving this back,
congratulations.
I forgot to touch his leg, I didn't
want to do that.
But I can tell you one thing, his
leg is like a rock.
That's fair, two gold medals, wow,
that's big stuff.
Thank you, it's an honor.
And speaking for my other athlete up
here, that's pretty good, right?
And you go through big competition
with a lot of great athletes, right.
Are you gonna be doing it again?
Thank you.
Olympics. I plan to be doing it
until 2030 as long as I can.
Until Salt Lake City in 2034.
So that'll be on home soil.
We're gonna be watching, okay?
You can do it again.
Thank you guys.
So if we'll go in order,
if we can, and we'll start with
Brooke Rollins and go to Ron Johnson
and Tom Tiffany and Derek and
Joe Thomas. We'd love to have you
say a few words because you can tell
us about real tough
life and it's tough in those pits,
right? Pretty nasty people in there.
You meet some large, nasty people,
but you can handle it.
And Jake, we're going to ask you to
say a a few word, if you would.
And Ken and we will go pretty
quickly because I have to get back
to fighting a war.
There's a hell of a speakers list.
We might be here all night.
You know, if we can, fellas, I got
to get back to a place called
Washington and protect you, okay?
So if you go very quickly,
we don't need your life story other
than I like the Olympic guy and I
like this guy right over here.
And Jordan Stolls would like to
have you say a couple of words too,
okay? Hey Jordan, why don't you
start? Go ahead.
Well first I want to thank you to
all the farmers who are here and
I don't think people really
understand how much you guys make
a difference in the country.
I mean you guys are the backbone of
the nation and for me myself
personally I try to eat as clean as
possible and you know
a lot of steak, a lot dairy and
you guys the backbone of Wisconsin
so I just want to say thank you all
the farmer and everybody who could
make it here today and of course to
the president.
That's a winner.
Tough to win like that.
That's very tough when you're
dealing with fractions of a second,
that's a tough thing to
do. Congratulations.
Secretary, if you would go quickly.
Very quickly, how about a big
thank you to God
for the rain and the farmers and
for President Donald J.
Trump.
President Trump mentioned that when
he came back into office, we
inherited an almost $50 billion
agricultural trade
deficit.
Meaning under sleepy Joe Biden,
not one new trade deal was struck,
and we lost $50 billions of
market access around the
world for you, our great farmers.
But in just a little over one
year, 19 new
trade deals have been struck.
The markets have opened around
the word. We are going to
break every record for dairy,
for tree nuts, for corn, for ethanol
as we move the American
farmers product, the best in
the world. Back out to
the rest of the world, while at the
same time inheriting inputs
that had never been so high in
the history of our country, whether
that was fuel, fertilizer,
labor. Interest rates seed
one after the other and those
numbers all were coming down
significantly and as the president
promised will soon come
down very soon again
sir there is no
better American than the
most American of all Americans
and that is our great
American farmer God bless
you thank you so much sir.
Ron Johnson, please.
Mr. President, welcome to Wisconsin.
Again, you certainly
have paid a lot of attention to our
state, and we truly appreciate it.
Like you, I met with these
great farmers backstage.
And you nailed it.
They love farming.
This right now is a third-generation
farm, hopefully passed on to fourth.
But they face numerous challenges.
But what I thought was very common,
and all the comments speaking to me
is they realize that you.
Are going to fight for them.
You have turned the Republican Party
into the party
of the working men and women
of this country who have made this
country great and who will continue
to make it great, and they recognize
that. They know the big messes
the Democrats left for you.
They realize you don't turn those
messes around and fix them right
away, but they know you are
absolutely dedicated to do it, and
they love you for it.
So God bless you.
Thank you.
So your next governor,
hopefully your next governor, Tom
Tiffany, please, Tom.
Mr. President.
Where we sit here today, I grew
up about 30 miles from
here on a dairy farm milking cows
with my brothers and sisters.
I want to thank you for signing that
bill, whole milk for healthy kids.
There's no reason kids can't have
whole milk in our schools.
Thank you very much for that.
And I also want to thank you and
I want to thank the Secretary of
Agriculture because you've stood up
for forestry.
We are now once again managing
our forests here in
America that have been left in
decline for three decades.
You are doing good things on that
front. And the final thing that I
want to say to you, that gentleman
to your right was the
impetus six years ago when I came
into the Congress of the United
States showing what
a disaster it was to
convert our beautiful,
productive farmland in
Wisconsin and across America
into intermittent sources of
power like wind and solar.
He was the impetus behind me
talking to you about that.
Remember July 2nd last year when
we had that meeting in the White
House?
This is what we talked about and
it has led to higher utility
rates and it led to
the destruction of farmland.
We're not going to allow that to
happen here in the state of
Wisconsin.
Right? He's right about that.
He's right about that.
Derek, please. Mr. President.
Yesterday, we got to spend about
an hour and a half in the Oval
Office and you announced the $50
million that you are
sending to the state of Wisconsin
for a clean, beautiful
coal.
Thank you for that.
Mr. President, you signed a
$50 billion rural
health care infrastructure bill.
Of that, over $200 million
is coming to the state of Wisconsin
to make sure that we have
health care in our rural areas.
Thank you for that, sir.
You signed whole milk for healthy
kids into law, sir.
You just reopened every single
domestic market in our schools.
And that is amazing for the Maha
movement, for our kids, and for
our dairy farmers.
Thank you for that, sir!
Last thing.
E-15.
We are bugging you.
And this is the thing about the
president you don't know.
You call him, he answers the phone.
And he understands these issues
inside and out.
So he is sort of joking about us
talking about E-15.
Sir, you took that on board hard.
The only reason that E- 15
year round got through the Congress
is because of Donald J.
Trump. And that did so much for our
road cropper, sir.
Thank you very much.
And welcome back to your second
home.
So Joe, great, great
football player, I would say one of
the truly greats, hall of famer.
Thank you.
Thanks, Mr. President.
Joe Thomas Hall of Fame Farms,
Muscadet, Wisconsin.
You should come visit, it's beautiful.
I gotta pump Secretary Rollins'
tires a little bit for the Small
Processors Action Plan because
as a farm-to-table beef producer
like myself, we see one of the
biggest bottlenecks in our country
is the lack of small packing and
processing plants.
For people like me that are trying
to raise farm-table beef, Wagyu
and Angus, and be able to feed our
community, and she's doing great
work with that.
New mission to be able to help us,
be able to feed our communities, and
not have to rely on trying to get
into the big four packers, which is
often impossible and
leads to higher costs for the
customer and less money and
revenue for the farmer and the
producer. So thank you very much,
Mr. President, and thank you,
Secretary Rollins, for all the work
you're doing for us small beef
producers on Wisconsin.
So, Joe,
he played a long time in the NFL,
he's a Hall of Famer.
Who is the greatest quarterback
you've ever seen?
Oh, that's a tough one.
Is anybody listening here?
Because Brady and Manning were
pretty good. And I'd have a hard
time picking between either one of
those guys. And who is the greatest
running back you've ever seen?
I never got to see him in person,
but Jim Brown or Barry Sanders are
my two.
OK, good.
Football fans, you know, got to keep
it. That's good, thank you very
much.
Please, Jake, thank- Thank you very
much.
Mr. President, thank you very for
coming to Wisconsin.
As we all said, I want
to just say without the
American farmers,
we as a company would
not be able to brew beer.
In fact, out of all the
thousands of breweries in across
America, you supply
the most important ingredients
here in the USA.
Barley, malt,
wheat. And we use some corn,
but thank you all and
really appreciate the
time, Mr. President, thank you much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Ken, please.
First office
First off, Mr. President, it's an
honor and a blessing to have you
here.
We are,
there isn't a,
the sound on the roof is a
blessing.
We American farmers risk
a lot and count on God's blessing.
And our forefathers in
this country understood that.
That's what makes us great, is God's
blessings.
And I thank you
for being who
you are, the integrity.
You hold, doing what you say you're
going to do, you make
the right decisions for America.
They aren't popular.
Thank you.
And we as
farmers have lost,
the Secretary of the Round has
docked, a tremendous amount
of our trade.
And that's all we need is
we can compete with anybody in the
world.
We need fair trade.
We lost a lot during that last
administration.
We're bringing it back.
We're bring it back!
Jamie, please.
Thank you.
Thank you Mr. President.
So I want to say as
a dairy farmer and
a mom, I
see how
important it is for these policies
to vote in place, not only for the
families that are growing the food,
but for the people who are consuming
it every day.
I was so excited to witness
signing of the Whole Milk Healthy
Kids Act.
I didn't even know what to think
because, in reality, it was
common sense to me why we don't have
those options for our children in
the schools.
Whole milk provides essential
nutrients that our kids need for
bone growth, muscle growth,
and brain development.
So I was really excited to be part
of that. And as our dad
always said, drink milk,
it does a body good.
That still stands true to this day.
So thank you, President Trump and
Senator Rollins.
Thank you.
And Steve,
first of all, thank you
for coming to Chippewa
Falls, Wisconsin and hearing
us out here.
Really appreciate that.
And as I sit here and represent
the farmers of this state
and the farmers in America, I
think we've all experienced some
tough times here in the last four or
five years.
And listening to what you guys are
saying, I'm very hopeful for
some better times coming.
And some of the stuff that we
see and talk about that
really affects us is the
monopolization of
the inputs.
At this point there's four seed
and chemical companies in the
country that control 78
percent of that, three fertilizers
control 90 percent
of the market, and four
beef companies control
85% of the beef market.
That makes it really tough for us
when things
are good, you know, our
inputs just rise with the commodity
prices.
So we'd like some help on that.
On another note, the big,
beautiful bill is a real win
for us, and we really appreciate
what you've done with that.
It's lowered our tax rates.
It's... Thank you.
Giving us the ability to pass these
farms on to the next generation.
You strengthen the crop insurance.
You know, I think that
all that stuff.
And another thing that I want to
mention is the border deal.
We feel really blessed to have
the control you put in
place on the border.
Another and I think you've done a
great job.
I'd like to add one more thing.
We're in the pipeline construction
business.
And I was sharing with Secretary
Rollins there that we were
an 8,000 person company
under your first administration.
And we went down to 1,200
to 1 ,500 people now.
And it's just starting its
way back up. And we're in the middle
of negotiations on
a big project in Alaska called
Glenn Farn that I think you're
very aware of.
And we're in the final stretches of
that. So I know that's not farm
related, but if there's any help we
could get out of you guys for
that, I think that's
a real big piece for
our energy security of this country.
And that's all I have, thank you.
We'll take care of it.
You all right?
Anybody else?
Would you like to say something?
Thank you, thank you very
much for, like he said, one
big beautiful bill act that was
those tax credits that
the, a lot of the
stuff that supports the American
agriculture through the
trade side as well.
We've got.
Fair trade has been a challenge
in America lately, and
we need to get what we deserve for
our products.
And I thank you for putting
in the efforts and doing the work
and getting, we'd rather have fair
trade than the subsidies,
like previously mentioned.
E-15, some of that stuff's great,
energy independence.
On our farm, we actually have a
co-digester where we take food waste
and the cow manure
and make methane.
And I think...
And some of that can also
help increase local
energy independence
and keep
some of our food that
we all work so hard to produce from
going in landfills.
So thank you.
Thank you very much. And thank you
for being frugal with our tax
dollars on repairing Washington.
That's right.
Thank you.
So I just want to thank everybody.
This is great.
You're amazing people.
You built this country.
You built the country.
We have all the complainers, all the
people. They talk, talk, talked.
They don't do anything.
You're the ones that made America
great. And we're making it
greater than ever before.
We have make America great again,
but we're now making it greater then
ever before, so I just want to think
you all. It's an honor to be with
you. We're straightening out a
little unfinished business in Iran
and a couple of other places.
A tremendous success that we had in
Venezuela, as you know.
We're doing amazing oil business
there right now.
It's been incredible.
But I just want to thank everybody
for being here special.
And I want to really thank you for
your support. We won in
a landslide.
And I just wanted to thank you, for
your support. Thank you all.
And Ken, thank you.
No man does it
all by himself
