John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.
The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.

The American people deserve to hear, directly from Jack Smith, what his investigation into Trump found.
Instead of that transparency, today Republicans brought him in for a closed door deposition, all in an effort to cover up Trump’s attempt to overturn a free and fair election.
