(00:03):
Newsmax brought a farmer on to praise Donald Trump's bailout
plan. Instead, he tore Donald Trump
apart. Now, as you know, right now,
Donald Trump's tariffs are destroying farmers.
China has not bought a single soybean this quarter, and
they're our largest export market.
And farmers are hurting, and Donald Trump has a plan to send
them some of the tariff money. Well, Newsmax brought a farmer

(00:24):
on to praise those tariffs, but it went a little differently
than planned. I'm paying that tariff because
my importer John Deere paid it. They paid it directly to the
Treasury. Now the the president of the
United States is going to take my money and give it back to me
and call it and call it a bailout.
That's that's just comical. Yeah, they're going to take my

(00:47):
money. My inputs have been raised.
I'm paying these tariffs. You're giving me my money back
and you want me to thank you. Newsmax tried to get praise for
Dear Leader. Instead it backfired
beautifully. And that is well done by this
farmer. Donald Trump is doing nothing to
help them, only hurt them and even are called.
Last time, like I, I, I'm tryingto understand what the hell do

(01:09):
they think was going to happen? And Vice President Kamala Harris
kept saying his tears are going to cause prices to rise and
farmers go out of business. Oh no, she not telling the
truth, OK. But they're going out of
business and, and like I said, the, the bad, the, the whole
deal with the president is they got a whole real estate, all
that's going to be buying, buying up the land people.

(01:31):
And the last time I was on your show, I was, I was saying to
back America, we need to be prepared to, to buy some land
and, and group and, and start buying some of the same because
it's going to be on the sale block here real shortly.
The market is not going to come back in, in 30 days.
I'm sorry, it's not. And those guys cannot sell
soybeans for $10 a bushes because that's what the market

(01:53):
is rolling $5 for wheat, $4.00 for corn.
Guess what? I was selling grain and in the
early 80s, man, for just under that.
And here it is the year 2025, and this president is taking us
to the lowest grain prices in history and the highest input.
Nobody's talking about that. The highest input cost in

(02:14):
history for farmers are right now under the nine months of
this president. This guy came into office in
9-10 months and caused complete havoc for for white America and
white rural America in this country.
And guess what? We need to be in the position to
go in there and start winning some of these states to come up
with a platform to steal some ofthese people, whether we like
them or not, they're down there voting in the red States and we

(02:36):
need to start winning some of the red states.
And guess what the Democrats should be saying?
Healthcare, you know what? And we coming back in rural
America, we got a plan to help some farmers out here because we
want them votes too. Well, see John, to be honest,
here's my, here's my problem. These white, and I'm
specifically saying white farmers for a reason, because
let me be real clear, them damn white farmers wouldn't stand up

(02:58):
for y'all them damn white farmers.
They weren't saying Stephen Miller is unfair blocking that,
blocking out that $5 billion going to black Latino farmers.
No, they weren't saying a damn thing.
They were like, that's y'all Negro farmers.
We don't care. But see, so my problem is they
want Democrats to now bail them out, yes?
So they can go right back and vote for MAGA policies.

(03:21):
But, but let's go on the whole thing.
I'm glad you raised that flag. Let's go over the whole thing.
They they didn't want to pay blacks to work on farms.
That's the first thing. That's what got white people in
trouble in this country when they ran blacks off the farm.
They want us to be sharecroppersand all this stuff.
They didn't pay a standard, stole our land.
Republican Senator John Tune says we have to bail out soybean

(03:42):
farmers. You mean the farmers that voted
for what's happening? Either you bail out all
Americans or nobody gets a bailout.
I know I certainly didn't vote for the farmers not being able
to sell their soybeans. I voted for somebody that was
going to allow them to sell their soybean.
And furthermore, hey, farmers, maybe grow something that you
could sell domestically. Oh, you're too used to living

(04:04):
off the government teat with soybeans, aren't you?
See, guys, the government alwaysguarantees these farmers a
profit, and I'm sure they work their books just right to where
they get the profit and the government.
But I'm done living in a societywhere some people have
healthcare and some people don't.
I'm done with, oh, we'll bail out the farmers, but the rest of

(04:25):
America needs to suffer. I didn't vote for this.
I didn't vote for people to be starving, to be hurting, to have
less than. But you did MAGA, you did the
hundreds of thousands of farmersthat are now suffering, that are
now worried of how they're goingto keep their land and pass
their generational farms down ifthey bail out the farmers and

(04:47):
they don't bail out. Everybody we.
Must protest. Hey folks, welcome back to
Echorum Vibes. I hope everyone is doing OK out
there, staying grounded, hydrated and aware because the
political noise is loud this week.
Today we are diving into the chaos surrounding Trump's new

(05:08):
proposed bill of farmers. Yes, another one, and how this
moment is exposing something much deeper about America's
relationship with race, land andpower.
And while Marga aligned farmers are panicking about collapsing
green prices, legendary farmer advocate John Boyd is giving the
black community some of the mostpractical, forward thinking

(05:31):
advice we've heard in years. Buy the land while they panic.
As always, credit to the creators on Stitches who surface
this story. Without independent media
voices, moment like this will quietly disappear.
So let's just dive into the restof the video and we'll be back
for more commentary. New he comes out and says that.

(05:52):
He's going to use. Tariff revenue.
To bail. Them out, but who pays for that?
Tariff The other thing about this is this guy said in there
that, you know, he supports farmers getting bailed out and
appreciate that. But I feel like I'm, I'm seeing
like this, this talk about the government coming and bail
farmers out more and more. And like, I know it's tough out

(06:14):
here in the ag economy and it's tough out there in the regular
economy. But I don't see personally and
hear personally a bunch of farmers screaming, screaming
from the rooftops that they needaid and they need assistance and
that they're not going to make it and the government needs to
come and bail us out. I don't see that actually being
said from the farmers. What I think is actually be
happening is I think the mega corporations, the big AG

(06:37):
corporations that sell a bunch of their stuff to farmers so
that they can put a crop in the ground or raise livestock,
whatever, are lobbying hard for a a bailout for the farmers.
Because guess what happens everytime the the government gives
farmers any money? You think that the farmer just

(06:59):
takes that and runs with it? No, the next year, input costs
go up, go way up, because those corporations know if the farmers
get more money from the government, they can raise their
prices, they can take it, they'll take it, they'll take it
right back. So it's really a way for the

(07:21):
corporations, the big corporations in agriculture, to
give them an excuse to raise their prices and take all that
government assistance and put itright back in their pocket so
we're not screaming from the fucking rooftops come bail us
out because we know exactly whathappens when that happens.

(07:43):
It doesn't stay with us, doesn'tstay with us.
It goes right back to the AG corporations that we rely on to
put a crop on the ground. So yeah, that's just my two
cents coming from a farmer. The rest of it it's your
opinion, but I just wanted to add that to you.
Why should American taxpayers bail out farmers who are hurting

(08:05):
because of the president's tariff policies?
Well, look, I think that the farmers and I represent a lot of
them and they want nothing more than open markets.
There are markets right now thataren't open to some of our
commodities. As a consequence of that, there,
we've got a big harvest coming in here in South Dakota, corn
and soybeans, and no place to gowith it.
So what the president has said is I'm going to support and I'm

(08:26):
going to help our farmers. And so we're all we are looking
at. I'm a member of the Senate, a
committee have been for some time, and we're looking at
potential solutions to make surethat we can help support farmers
until some of those markets comeback.
I think part of it is that the president's trying to achieve
with his trade policy reciprocity with countries that
have been taking advantage of usfor a long time.
And I think most of us support that.

(08:47):
I think a lot of our farmers support that.
They are anxious. They want to see markets opened
up. And so I have, when I speak to
the president and his team aboutthis, I always reiterate the
importance of keeping agriculture front and center
when you're negotiating trade deals.
But at the end of the day, our farmers are probably going to
need some financial. Welcome back, guys.
So here's the picture. Trump's own trade on tariff

(09:10):
policies, the same ones he once claimed will make America win
again, are not driving American farmers into bankruptcy.
You've got swiping prices falling to record lows, wheat
and corn not far behind. And now Trump's team is talking
about a massive bailout, not because of some political fall

(09:33):
of some global crisis, but because of policies he
personally designed. Farmers in places that voted red
across the Midwest are waking upto a hard truth.
When you corner yourself economically in the name of
political loyalty, the market doesn't care about slogans.
Tariffs were sold as economic patriotism, but all they really

(09:58):
did was shot America out of its own export.
Game over on Newsmax. It got awkward fast.
They brought on a farmer, expecting him to thank Trump for
saving agriculture. Instead, the guy called the
bailout exactly what it is, a refund on your own suffering, he

(10:21):
said. My importer paid the tariff.
That's my money. You are giving back and calling
it help. That's a brutal truth bomb on
live conservative TV. And that moment matters because
it's called through the illusionthat this bailout is generosity.
It's not. It's economic triage for

(10:42):
policies that failed. This isn't leadership.
It's damage control. And rural America is paying the
price for believing the myth that only the lips was an
economic strategy. Meanwhile, John Boyd, president
of the National Black Farmers Association, is looking at this

(11:03):
chaos with a strategist eye. He's saying, and I'm
paraphrasing here, while the market collapses, we should be
ready to buy the land. It's a bold, pragmatic idea
because for generations black farmers were systemically pushed
off the land through discriminatory loans, government

(11:27):
neglect, and outright theft. And now the same system that
ignored them is starting to crumble.
On the other side, Boyd isn't celebrating anyone's pain, is
pointing to opportunity. Land ownership is power, and if
this crisis opens doors for marginalized groups to reclaim

(11:48):
even a fraction of what was lost, then maybe, just maybe,
this collapse can serve as a turning point.
But let's also be honest. There's a bitter moral iron
here. When federal leave was proposed
for Black and Latino farmers, money that was supposed to

(12:09):
correct decades of discrimination, many of these
same MAGA farmers stayed silent.Some even supported the lawsuits
that blocked it. Now they want the same
government they distrust to savethem.
The same big government they mocked as a socialist is
suddenly their safety net. That's the real hypocrisy of

(12:31):
MAGA populism. It sells rebellion against the
system until the rebellion burnsdown the very farm it was meant
to protect.
