corn. i just need to know who is who. starting with mr.enthold, didn't we know all of this from the previous report, the mueller report? what makes this different from that? >> well, this report does go a little bit further. there were some conclusions in this report that i think weren't really underlined or weren't brought home in the mueller report. one of the most important ones was this person, konstantin kilimnick, who was an associating. we knew he had ties to russia, but the description up until now had been praperhaps related to russian intelligence. this was a person manafort was feeding data to about what the trump campaign saw as its needs. this report says this man was a russian intelligence asset. making that connection clear. i thought that was one of the most important things that was said here. the trump campaign manager had this very close tie to somebody who the senate committee believed was definitely working for russia. >> david corn, what about other takeaways from this report, particularly the fact that this is a bipa

normal rainal with power -- another with normal i ampower wit would say, not going to buy corn. they go the opposite. soybeans, record numbers. the biggest ever, 42% of our farmers profit is now china over the last little while. why?now because they don't want bad things to happen. so they are very smart. i have every farmer calling saying, please don't do anything. they are very smart, but we can't forget what china did to this country and did to this world. the historic achievements i discussed today are only a slim fraction of the extraordinary accomplishments we have all done together in the last four years. here is a short list of our landmarks, really true landmarks. we instituted a national security travel ban on the world's most dangerous regions, including jihadist regions, keeping terrorists and extremists out of our country. everybody set that is bad. i don't think that is bad at all. on the travel ban. the fake news said we didn't. the supreme court and they said we lost. can you believe it? because we lost the first two, but we won in the supreme court. we have a gr

so corn was hurt the most.getting your operations rebuilt or your equipment fixed would that, you know, how would that i guess line up in terms of the timing of a harvest? >> there isn't going to be much fixed before harvest. there is too much lead time. you have to clean up the old mess. you have to order the new things which everyone will want to do. so there won't be any. then you have to reinstall, build them back up, get the wiring done. it is not going to happen for very many people if any before harvest. so we're going to face a harvest without the ability to handle it connell: wow. i mean, it is almost just as kind of a final thought, rather than a question, it is like one thing after another in this industry, right? >> it has been a tough year. everybody will be glad to see 2020 go away. as you indicated tomorrow debt is already as high as it was in the 1980s. it is as high as ever been. we don't have any deep pockets out here. connell: ron, we got to know you over the last couple years. you helped us

think we are headed in the same direction as gold where there are going to be paper versions of big corning but you have to remember and we're going to see jury in this great depression a 2020 there is a difference between gold and paper gold we're already starting to see the absolute scarcity the reason we're reaching new time highs is because people want their physical gold people want their gold close to them and the smart people are getting their gold close to them and so all these paper contracts where there's not enough gold to actually back all of these paper contracts creates a scarcity in the underlying assets i think we're going through a similar situation in. the big trends right now is the fire and you know the sort of on chain yielding products and financial products but really centralized financial companies or the building on top of the solutions they're building paper contracts they're building you know these different types of contracts but they eventually lead to a scarcity of the underlying assets because if you don't own the private key then it is not your big. coyness t

that being said, china has purchased the most amount of corn in history.ast week they purchased the two largest days in history of corn purchase. a massive amount of soybeans. also cattle. china has been buying a lot of things. they are doing that to keep me happy, but they are dreaming about joe biden. they would love that happen but i don't think that will happen. they are dreaming about him, and so is iran, dreaming about joe, and so are numerous other countries. they dream about it because if that happens they will own the united states and i can tell you china specifically will own the united states. can't let that happen. if you remember, china had the worst year they have had in 67 years prior to the plague coming to our shores and we are now starting to do really well. we are going to have a very good third quarter, may be a great third quarter, and an incredible next year unless someone comes up and quadruples taxes, it is what they are talking about doing, and also regulations. we have done more in terms of cutting regulations than any administra

of us if you can try to plant corn down where you're going to sell it you know in the end there's no profit to be had in. the markets only for big growers if you want to plant soil you need big machine tractors we can't afford that kind of equipment but. soit is not made for small holders it's that simple. that. i'm going to just brothers that we have a lot of different ways to fight the past i'm down all those pasts end up in our fields so when we plant beans now we end up with nothing. they use pesticides and the insects and up in our fields. we can't do anything about it. but. we used to plant beans and would feel too in time a sense of them it's true. now we've stopped planting. the pests from the land that belongs to the rich people come here and destroy our seeds . getting better. in the united states in china can't they just destroy their own forests to plant soybeans. why do they have to come to brazil and exploit our resources off africa like africa has plenty of forest why don't they go there maybe they don't work hard enough or they have more nerve but my mother. has in fa
