several months down the road it's real, and it's personal and it's having a major impact on american agriculture with the restaurant industry drying up, cattle futures have taken a dive they're at ten-year lows both for live and feeder cattle veteran wyoming granger jim crosby, he says the average rancher is losing $200 to $300 a head and he said the futures are no longer useful in predicting price that the only people on the long side right now are speculators or hedge funds and even though futures popped a bit today, brian, he is saying that for the cftc and this is uncharted territory and he says they're trying to work on some sort of solution back to you. >> jane, i don't want to leave just yet because i had a twitter viewer a regular viewer of cnbc sent me some video that he apparently took of lines literally outside of a costco. we're showing the video now. >> i think it's a costco with shopping carts for what appears to be a mile in cypress which is a part of los angeles. are you personally seeing this kind of behavior from shoppers >> yes i've been in such a line and i've been out to do

, they didn't want this, it is hurting them more than it is hurting us, there is no buying american agriculturemaybe there will be delays. trump absolutely in the last couple of press conferences around china was more cautious than a week ago. so you're right to raise the point. we need to be honest about exactly what is going on. there are others inside the trump administration, including secretary of state pompeo, certainly peter navarro and the white house, that are more willing to hit the chinese hard right now. i do not see at all that trump wants to make that decision yet. his approval ratings are going up. know, hese so far, you is in the mode of i have dr. fauci and mike pence leading this. my ratings are good, everyone is watching my show every night, and let's see where we are in a couple weeks. if it turns out that this becomes a much bigger disaster in the u.s. -- and that is very, very possible -- the numbers do not trend well right now. there are not many causes for optimism. if he needs to blame someone, blaming the chinese in a direct way becomes a real concern. i think it becom

and i thought, how aim assists american agriculture by turning back and forward the hand of my clock eave year. so i asked some friends. they thought we did it for the farmers, few of the them actually told me it was a government scheme. that why the federal government. ten minutes of research taught me what it would teach you. the farm he were the group most opposed to daylight saving time in the country. they hate it strom the start. farmers ugly used morning light. let's say they had three hours to get their eggs, milk and produce to at the city markets. they needed the sunlight to do that. you turn the clock ahead by an hour now they have two hours to do the same work. so how did i end up with the myth that farmer wanted daylight saving? what was the truth of daylight saving? those are the questions that drove the book. it's an old story, the problem of trying to control daylight. we all know that the amount of daylight changes almost every day. and every culture has tried to deal with this fact. but the modern story of daylight saving will begin now and we'll delve into the deep

if we're going to take on the carbon pollution that is destroying so much in american agriculture and our forests and our fishing doing so much damage with fiercer storms, if we take this on, we must pass for the people act. so this act has passed the house down the hall. it's come down here and it has been buried by the republican leadership of this chamber, and i must say one of the most deliberate acts, the sabotage of the constitution we've ever seen on the floor of this senate and that sabotage must end. therefore, madam speaker -- or madam president, i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of calendar number 39, h.r. 1, that the bill be considered and read a third time and passed and the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. blunt: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from missouri. mr. blunt: madam president, reserving the right to object. i must admit i was sitting here and i thought i was coming over for h.r. 1 from t

manufacturing sector, of course the 5g wireless buildout needs to have a more american and western face to it. even i think agriculturey, and i think the time is now to start really quietly looking ahead at just what role we want china to play going forward. they have shown they really can't be trusted. they really don't care about anything except keeping that chinese communist party in power, and i think we need a long period of rethinking that relationship. jon: president trump seems to be walking a fine line. i mean, he says that he has a good relationship with president xi and considers him a friend but also very angry at the way the communist leadership has handled this coronavirus outbreak. how can you separate one from the other? >> and president trump made some moderate remarks coming out of the g 20 meeting. right now we're in the middle of a burning building and everyone wants to cooperate as much as possible, but president trump has continued to say that it was china that caused this. i think he wants to leave the door open for that phase two trade deal that will come up at some point in time, but believe m

agriculture secretary sonny perdue. this is much on the mind of the american people. are we going to have food without hoarding?> we have plenty of food and we have some demand shortages based on people getting more than they need. the food supply is safe, healthy and sound. it's port for people of to look out for their neighbors. our food supply chain is very sounds. we are in touch with them on a daily basis and it's all healthy. lou: grocery stores are having to limit supplies to some customers. it's being managed well, i think despite the initial surge to hoard. do you think you can get it under control and we'll see a higher level of reason among folks going to the grocery stores in particular? >> probably so. people understand the food supply chain is sound, it's stable and there is plenty of food available. this is not like a hurricane or tornado. so i think people have more confidence. the food supply chain is good. just relax and buy what you need on a weekly or two-week basis and leave something there for others. we have been spoiled as americans going to the grocery store. lou: my wife doesn't like m

saw in the washington piece metal, essentially native americans adopting all the practices, everything but the legal citizenship, adopting agriculture, western agriculture, that was all over the place. people had the sense that that would happen, and they would, essentially, acclimate and become transformed in that way, "in 50o, they said, years, there will not be all that many left anyway." so it was a real sense of -- will native americans aqu acclimate? the term, they use "civilized," but not of it happens at the same time, and it was an interesting period in that world, what will happen? >> two things, really. titles that were supposedly given to the american indians, did they include mineral rights at that time? and also, would you say that george's position against the federal government, was that sort of the beginning of a states rights kind of idea, do you think? dr. butterfield: yes. do you want to talk about that? prof. robertson: yes. george is -- it was not the first. made noises.they you go back to jefferson, position that protest and stuff, so there is a long southern tradition with this, but the georgia position did p

nutritious diet is important for all americans, and access to fresh quality ingredients shouldn't be a luxury. i had the honor of serving as the chair of the agriculture subcommittee on nutrition. during my time on that subcommittee i've met with many advocates and stake holders who understand the role nutrition plays in the lives of all americans at every stage of life. it plays a particular role in the lives of our nation's children. during critical development years, children are dependent on foods packed with nutrients. in some cases the meals students receive at school may be the only time they eat during the day. it's important to do what we can to ensure schools have the resources they need to provide students with delicious and nutritious options. in january, we usda announced two proposals to expand nutritious options for our nation's schoolchildren. the new -- these new rules allow schools to offer a greater variety of vegetables options to customize breakfast and the ability to purchase items ala cart. this anti-flexibility will not only bolster the consumption of food in our school bus also food waste. at the end of the day, doesn't matter

agriculture, e.u. is not a major market for american farmers. yet we have seen the risk aversion partially to steer them away from gmos. as long as you have a long supply chain and you want to make sure that everybody in the chain is -- [inaudible] >> yeah. i'm going to go back here. microphone. please identify yourself. >> yes. hi, i'm cynthia roberts, i teach an international security program here at columbia. is so my question's a little bit out of left field, but i couldn't resist coming. i teach also european if securities this semester. i couldn't resist coming to a talk on the brussels effect and how the e.u. rules the world in part because of some of the questions asked at the beginning. but there are two other domains besides food that i want to raise for you and get your feedback. one is an area -- both are areas where the u.s. is dominant, so i wonder if there's any cross-domain effects that we could learn are from your work on regulatory interest. one is a little bit closer than the other, and that, of course, is the financial world

at the same moment that we're expanding the agricultural needs because we're feeding people at home, feeding americans abroad and then we're feeding all of our allies, right, helping feed our allies. at the same time, the laborers are shrinking. there's a huge push to get american women involved in this. right? we had seen this before. we had seen this in world war i. there was a volunteer organization called the women's land army of america that was around. we expand that in world war ii. there was a women's land army in great britain. we model a lot of what goes on in the united states after that. there's this huge push to get american women as part of this. there were other organizations. have you read about that? what was the burserra program? >> an agreement between the u.s. and mexico to allow workers to come and work in the fields. >> this agreement between the united states and mexico to allow laborers to come to the united states and work. this program goes from 1942 to 1951. this is a huge program. we will talk about it in another class. but they try that to -- the government tries that to e

turn our attention to the experiences of african-american, which has an important dimension in the south in terms of slavery and sharecropping agriculture. so what we are talking about today is not a universal experience among all women everywhere, but has important historical and geographical and structural -- dimensions to it. when we talk about the agrarian ideology in the family farm, agrarianism is a very old ideology, thousands of years old. and this ideology is rooted in the belief have economic and political primacy over other industries, that farming is the most valuable, the most moral of all industries and all economic endeavors. so in the u.s., when we think about agrarianism, it is thomas jefferson, our third president, who most clearly embodies the idea of agrarian ideology. thomas jefferson spoke about agrarian is him, he wrote about it and was perhaps most influential in shaping this idea. when jefferson talked about agrarianism, he defined it in relation to family farms. but jefferson, as we know, was a slave owner, so perhaps there is irony there, but in terms of developing the republic in the u.s., jefferson argued in

agricultural secretary sonny perdue told the program last week that america's food supply is secure and americanst worry about any such food shortages. meanwhile the national media is stooping to the point of writing propaganda for the chinese commonest party, new nbc news article stating that with italy and dire need of medical equipment, and economic superpower stepped in to help. not the united states, it was china. china of course with the deadly virus started, the commonest party covered up the severity hindering the rest of the world to respond, we also told you last week that the testing kits to china provided to countries like spain and italy that did not work, china has charged many countries millions of dollars for their so-called help that they labeled as donations. ining me now is peter navarro assistants to the president, and a member of the presidents coronavirus task force. great to see you. >> you look marvelous but we miss lou, a little shout out to lou. david: you will get him full board beginning next week on monday. believe me, he is back in style next week. absolutely, i just

the agricultural party was strongest, they ruled, but in 1947 the communist party took over in hungary -- they ruled, but in 1947 the commonest party took over. there was also british and american occupation in budapest, but the soviets dominated those places because they liberated them and set up communists with postwar governments and that threaten to happen in austria because after vienna was liberated in mid-april of 1945, a so-called provisional government was established in austria, an old socialist leader had already been the head of state after world war i was brought back into power, but there was one third socialist and one third comment list -- communist representation and stalin and roosevelt did not like that because there were supposed to be a joint government by all three powers, so from the west it looked like the same thing would happen indiana by what happen in budapest and elsewhere in the soviets were trying to set up the communist for ruling and interestingly enough, we think of churchill's iron curtain metaphor. it that is when churchill spoke to the world about the iron curtain having rattled down down into the adriatic, but he was already using that meta

every single american depends on them every single day, so it is so important to include agriculture in this bill and that is what we worked to do, to make sure there is provision in their whether it is our cattle producers or farmers raising crops across the great nation that they continue to do what they do every day on behalf of all americans. our colleagues want to emphasize how important farmers and ranchers and rural america is part of the legislation. you see what is going on, whatever it may be. it is a huge challenge. it comes from the rural areas, it comes from rural america. we've got to be there, for those who supply people across the nation and communities, large and small. i would like to turn to my friend from the state of kansas, and asked the good senator from kansas to make some comments. >> senator from kansas. >> appreciate the leadership of my colleagues on his efforts, he chairs the subcommittee and appropriation of agriculture and rural development, and senator fisher and my colleague from kansas, to highlight something that is potentially going to be absent fr

americans, but people around the globe. so it's so important that we include agriculture in this bill. and that's what we have worked to do. we've worked to make sure there is provision in there, so whether it is our cattle producers or whether it is our farmers raising crops across this great nation, that they can continue to do what they do every day on behalf of all americans. and so i talked about that a little bitter earlier. but some of my colleagues want to join in emphasizing how critically important that our farmers and ranchers and rural america is part of this legislation. you know, you see on television the cities every day and what's going on in the cities. in new york or san francisco or wherever it may be. we get it. there's a lot of peop÷ -- a lot of people there and they're close together and it's a huge challenge. but the food, the u.s.s. nantz, the -- the sustenance, the food, fuel, and fiber, it comes from rural areas. it doesn't just come from the grocery stores. it comes from rural america. we've got to keep them going so they can supply people across this nation

today in recognition of national agriculture day, i want to highlight the work that millions of americans do each day to make the agriculture industry in america the greatest in the world. this industry is incredibly expansive and at its most basic level, it is defined by the food, feed, fiber, and fuel it generates. but it's so much more. it fuels the global economy and is driven by millions of dedicated hardworking people who are working every day to deliver these products. these folks are our nation's farmers, ranchers, foresters and producers. this includes those who manufacture and sell equipment, who drive trucks and barges to move product, who provide seed and fertilizer, and who store, process, and market these products. it spans small and large businesses, from family farms to community banks, to universities, to science, veterinarians, and livestock operations. in my home state of georgia, agriculture is our number one industry. it accounts for more than one in seven jobs and we have 42,000 farms in georgia. i grew up working in the soybean fields and the feed lot of my family's
