WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.160
just the very present because I think that we've done that for quite a number

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:06.720
of years,

3
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:13.280
just looking at fixing problems when we should be looking at prevention and

4
00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:15.480
looking at how

5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.240
agriculture is going to look into the future.

6
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:24.550
There are candidates that are supportive of protecting soil as a natural

7
00:00:24.550 --> 00:00:25.600
resource and

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.320
looking at the future of agriculture.

9
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.080
And for so many in Iowa, farming runs in the family.

10
00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:33.080
Hey, Patch.

11
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:34.080
Let's go to it.

12
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:35.080
Come on.

13
00:00:35.080 --> 00:00:39.410
Well, as a little kid, I've always rode around with my dad, so I mean, I guess

14
00:00:39.410 --> 00:00:39.960
I've

15
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.840
always wanted to be a farmer.

16
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.310
Mike Holden is a third-generation farmer, now weathering the weight of being on

17
00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:46.500
the

18
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:48.800
front lines during the pandemic.

19
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:51.320
My wife works in a hospital.

20
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.800
My daughter drove by her earlier, works in a hospital in Des Moines, commutes.

21
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.040
Her frontline people, I work seven days a week, virtually 365 days, but if I

22
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:05.800
don't come here,

23
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:07.520
they're not going to get fed.

24
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:11.840
But he's feeling the impact of how the farming industry has changed.

25
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.880
It's an interesting way of life that has really become more corporate.

26
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:24.660
And I've farmed for over 40 years now, and I'm not happy with the way farming

27
00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:25.600
has become

28
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:32.720
the neighborly thing, the thing that you used to do because you wanted to help.

29
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.800
Sorry, I get emotional here.

30
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:42.080
You want to help, because that person needed your help.

31
00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:45.000
This year, he chose to cast his ballot for Biden.

32
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.270
The money that the Trump administration then gave to farmers in Iowa to keep

33
00:01:50.270 --> 00:01:50.840
them afloat

34
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.440
was welcomed, but not enough.

35
00:01:52.440 --> 00:01:55.840
Yeah, it doesn't make up for the losses we had.

36
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.180
It certainly softens the blow.

37
00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:58.180
I think it was bribery.

38
00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:02.100
I'm going to buy your vote on the threes of money, and hopefully you'll keep

39
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:02.840
supporting

40
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:03.840
me.

41
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.840
And they do.

42
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:05.840
And I don't get it.

43
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.730
The bailouts, not enough for him to overlook what he views as failed leadership

44
00:02:09.730 --> 00:02:10.160
and a lack

45
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:12.120
of civility in the White House.

46
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:19.000
I think he's dangerously reckless, he's brutally insensitive and disrespectful.

47
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.960
I mean, you can be tough without being a bully.

48
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.600
And we need badly need some civility in my opinion.

49
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:30.330
And Lindsey, most importantly, the farmers that I spoke with said no matter

50
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:30.880
what happens

51
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:33.840
on election day, they will still wake up early.

52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.840
They will go to work.

53
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.760
They will do their jobs feeding the country.

54
00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:40.160
Hi everyone, George Stephanopoulos here.

55
00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:42.240
Thanks for checking out the ABC News YouTube channel.

56
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.170
If you'd like to get more video show, fuck up, George, I will watch the

57
00:02:46.170 --> 00:02:51.640
Vietnamese one.

58
00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:57.280
In fact, Vietnam, despite our horrific war crimes there.

59
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.080
And I was, I was shocked when I found out about this as well.

60
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.700
But in fact, about Vietnam, the most, the country that views the United States

61
00:03:06.700 --> 00:03:07.120
of America

62
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.760
the most favorably is Vietnam.

63
00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:19.110
Despite our actual war crimes there in our, in our genocidal efforts in the

64
00:03:19.110 --> 00:03:20.040
region, you

65
00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:25.310
know, fighting communism, of course, necessary, if you ask some people, still

66
00:03:25.310 --> 00:03:26.400
having generational

67
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:31.910
impact with like children being born with disabilities to this day because of

68
00:03:31.910 --> 00:03:34.200
Agent Orange.

69
00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:40.400
Vietnam, despite all of that, has the best, most favorable opinion of the

70
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.680
United States

71
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:48.480
out of every country on the planet, Vietnamese people do.

72
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.160
I don't mean that like, I'm talking about Vietnamese people.

73
00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:58.360
I don't know why I have no understanding of why it is.

74
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.750
Maybe it's because they see us, they see the United States as like a like a cud

75
00:04:01.750 --> 00:04:02.400
gel against

76
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:07.960
China or something and they fucking really hate China.

77
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.800
But excuse me, I'm sorry.

78
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:17.880
They, they like the United States more than they, more than Israel in Israel as

79
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:18.960
the highest

80
00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:23.040
favorability of the United States after Vietnam, if I'm not mistaken.

81
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.520
It is a remarkable fact that I was very confused by and very shocked by a very

82
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:30.440
weird, very

83
00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:42.080
strange.

84
00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:49.410
I really don't have any idea why our Vietnamese community is overwhelmingly

85
00:04:49.410 --> 00:04:50.560
conservative.

86
00:04:50.560 --> 00:05:08.130
We support President Donald Trump because as Vietnamese refugees, we have

87
00:05:08.130 --> 00:05:09.840
endure suffering

88
00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:16.220
under the Communist regime and we believe that, okay, fuck you, dude, I mean,

89
00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:17.040
seriously,

90
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.720
fuck you, old lady, shut the fuck up.

91
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:26.510
You stupid fucking idiotic old lady with your stupid fucking gamer head said,

92
00:05:26.510 --> 00:05:27.320
who is fucked

93
00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:31.840
you harder America or fucking Ho Chi Minh suck my dick, old lady.

94
00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:37.750
God damn, dude, you'll fuck this refugee, okay, seriously, fuck this South

95
00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:38.960
Vietnamese mother

96
00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:44.200
fucking whatever, like Christian supremacist psychotic fucking refugee living

97
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:44.760
in America

98
00:05:44.760 --> 00:05:47.860
now and, and, and able to talk that shit, why don't you go back and live in

99
00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:48.560
fucking South

100
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.120
Vietnam in the same conditions, if that's your perspective, be careful, be

101
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.180
careful.

102
00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:58.040
No, I fucking hate these people, dude.

103
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:03.310
They're so insane, like they, they fucking beat in to the American propaganda

104
00:06:03.310 --> 00:06:03.920
hook line

105
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.280
and sinker, like it's bullshit.

106
00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:09.170
Well, the fuckers were self-immulating because of our, because of our actions

107
00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:09.840
over in fucking

108
00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:14.200
Vietnam and, and this lady's like, oh no, it's the communist, like fuck you.

109
00:06:14.200 --> 00:06:21.400
And Trump is, definitely, he doesn't like socialism or communism, he's fight

110
00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:22.400
for freedom

111
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:26.720
and democracy, he bring a lot of jobs back to America.

112
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.720
Shut the fuck up.

113
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.320
You feel happy, even though it's a lot of people say he's bad.

114
00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:41.080
I think a lot of us, the majority of us, are really, it's not the same as Cuba.

115
00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:44.600
It's not the same as Cuba.

116
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:52.380
It's way worse than Cuba, because at least America didn't like directly have

117
00:06:52.380 --> 00:06:53.160
the same

118
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:58.430
kind of fucking immediate and horrific actions took immediate and horrific

119
00:06:58.430 --> 00:06:59.480
actions in Cuba.

120
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.750
It was, it was Castro versus Batista, not America versus Vietnam or the fucking

121
00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:05.120
North

122
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.120
Vietnamese.

123
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.960
So like, it's literally worse than that, okay?

124
00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:15.290
I get Cubans being like, oh, I fucking hate like, you know, I hate communism,

125
00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:16.160
whatever,

126
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.160
a fuck Castro, fuck Jay, all that stuff is whatever.

127
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.050
You have to tie it back to the United States to be like, oh, well, it was a

128
00:07:25.050 --> 00:07:25.840
fascist puppet

129
00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:29.410
dictator and like, he was favorable to America and that's why he was able to do

130
00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:30.320
so much torment

131
00:07:30.320 --> 00:07:31.840
to our people, whatever.

132
00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:33.840
That's a secondary consequence.

133
00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:39.110
It's not like, I mean, not for a lack of trying mind you, but it's not like

134
00:07:39.110 --> 00:07:39.920
America went

135
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:45.190
in and like fucking did the shit that we did to Vietnam, specifically South

136
00:07:45.190 --> 00:07:45.800
Vietnam, not

137
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.600
even North Vietnam.

138
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.720
I really like the song, the music.

139
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.480
It's a level of delusion that is like, on the fathomable.

140
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.440
My parents were victim of war.

141
00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:06.370
So when the communist forces took over Vietnam, my dad were forced to live in a

142
00:08:06.370 --> 00:08:08.040
jungle literally

143
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.920
for much of his childhood.

144
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:18.320
So anything that is a step up from that is something to be grateful for.

145
00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:47.920
So the Vietnamese community grew in Oakland City back in the mid 70s.

146
00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:51.520
So a lot of these refugees saw the bigger city.

147
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:53.280
There were jobs available here.

148
00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:55.950
There were factories that they could work out that they didn't have to have a

149
00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:56.640
good grasp

150
00:08:56.640 --> 00:08:58.160
of the English language.

151
00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:02.090
And so all they needed was just the determination to work hard and support

152
00:09:02.090 --> 00:09:03.040
their family.

153
00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:05.200
Coming from an undemocratic.

154
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.360
By the way, this is like low key to true as well.

155
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.720
I think, okay, correct me if I'm wrong.

156
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.720
I think this is another one of those like tidbit Oklahoma facts that I know in

157
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.320
the back of

158
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:15.320
my mind.

159
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:21.160
But I'm pretty sure under FDR, the internment camps were in Oklahoma, right?

160
00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:26.430
So that's why there is the only like significant group of Asian population in

161
00:09:26.430 --> 00:09:27.560
Oklahoma is Vietnamese

162
00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:34.720
people that came in as refugees after Vietnam and every other fucking, every

163
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:35.920
other, by all

164
00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:41.840
the Japanese people that were there or all the other Asian people left Oklahoma

165
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.360
never to

166
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:49.260
look back because of the internment camps there in most of the camps on the

167
00:09:49.260 --> 00:09:50.800
west coast.

168
00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:54.510
I thought they were also, I thought they were like big ones were built in

169
00:09:54.510 --> 00:09:55.240
Oklahoma.

170
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.000
Maybe I'm wrong though.

171
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:03.640
In a democratic country with a dysfunctional democracy, America was the

172
00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:05.360
pinnacle for what

173
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.320
a government should look like.

174
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.760
Yeah, so my dad is definitely a Republican.

175
00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:17.400
He is a strong believer in America and American exceptionalism.

176
00:10:17.400 --> 00:10:25.160
I had assumed he would be voting for Trump in the November election.
