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,
man, I got to go get a new charge
every ten
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?
Okay.
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, though. Tell what 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?
It was a little strange.
I mean, some of you have better
mechanics than the people of John
Deere. I will have John Deer, 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 can 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.
Not 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 terminate 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 the 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,
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've 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
tight. 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 have birth of
your citizenship.
You have to prove your citizenship,
I think that sounds good.
And also, you know, 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 of, no
transgender butylization
surgery on your child,
on your children.
So we added them.
So we inherited very high cost,
and 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?
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 Kugle.
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 a big competition
with a lot of great athletes, right.
Are you gonna be doing it again?
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 could do it again.
Yeah
So, 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'll go
pretty quickly because I have to get
back to fighting a war and
This is a hell of a speaker's
list. We might be here all night.
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 lots of dairy,
and, you know, you are the back bone
of Wisconsin, so I just want to say
thank you all the farmers,
and everybody who could make it here
today, and of course, to the
President.
Thank you.
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
dollar agricultural trade
