Thanks Biden, administration, punishing them with free, smart phones. Imagine a country that punished you once you violated its immigration law by giving you a free, smart phone and then free education, free health care and free airline flights, kind of tempting to go there wouldnt it. So the three things that matter to any country long term are food, water and energy. If you have a problem with those, you have a real problem. The price of wheat in this country is now higher than its been in more than a decade, Joe Biden is openly saying were going to get food shortages, so, as weve been running out of food, China has been buying up Americas farmland. China now owns more than two dollars billion worth of farmland in the United States. A new member of Congress representing Washington State has noticed this unlike most people and is trying to stop it tonight. Thank you so much for coming on congressman. This sounds like a threat to user national security. If threat to our national security, if

there ever was one. Thank you for shedding light on something that I think is very very important for our country to discuss a lot of people. Dont know about it and arent talking about it. So this is really important. I appreciate that what can be done well, theres, several things that can be done. Weve done some things actually in this congress that just passed in the latest appropriations bill to tell the USDA to come back to us with a report telling us about foreign ownership of agricultural lands in this country by adversaries. Certainly, China is one of those. China is a threat to our country country. Unfortunately, and youve been talking about a lot of different things tonight, the Biden administration is hurting the: U Dot S by their policies and theyre, actually helping China and ive got legislation that I think will go a long ways to stopping China from starting an agricultural monopoly in the United States of America. I want to preclude the communist

chinese government from purchasing agricultural assets in the United States of America. Can they buy Lockheed and the great Lakes and the permion basin? Why would you ever give up your basic staples to an adversary? Just like you said what does the country need energy? They need food, they need water. China understands this China. I ive had the opportunity to take some trips to other parts of the world and ive seen firsthand that some of the things China is doing in other countries in Central America and South America ive heard of things theyre doing in Europe and in Africa we dont want them to get a foothold in our country, and I think ten or twenty years from now f we dont act. If we dont act, people will look back and say why didnt you guys do something. The time to act is now and be preemptive. So we can prevent China from gaining a foothold on our important domestic food production thats. What my legislation will do?

Gosh well bless you for doing this. If you encounter any resistance from your colleagues really on either side of the aisle, I hope youll come back and explain who they are, because I think its that important. Well, the good thing I can report my amendment in the appropriations Committee last summer passed with a unanimous vote, so this is this: has bipartisan support and im very encouraged by that we are too.
