🚨Trump COLLAPSES in ARKANSAS as US SENATE SLIPS AWAY!!
Donald Trump getting a rude awakening in. ruby red Arkansas before the midterms. where he is in full collapse mode folks. His approval right now net negative 14. in Arkansas heading into the midterms. and Donald Trump's mega stooges not. faring much better in the latest Hendrix. College poll for Arkansas. The. Democratic candidate Holly Shaffner. leads 47%. to 44% a three-point lead for a.
Democratic Senate candidate in what was. once believed to be ruby red Arkansas. And when you look at the cross tabs. here, they tell quite the story. Amongst. independents Holly Shaffner leads 59% to. Trump's. overall approval dismal. Trump's. approval on the economy dismal. Trump's. approval on the Iran war dismal. This. also comes at the same time there was a. Reuters Ipsos poll showing just 13% of.
Americans strongly approve of Trump. That's it. Just 13% nationwide. So for. all those people saying you know, what's. going on America? Only 13% of all people. in the United States strongly approve. I. don't still don't know who those 13.5%. are. The Arkansas Times reports Shaffner. takes lead against Cotton. Yes, you read. that right. And then when you get into. some of the analysis that's being done.
here in this latest Hendrix poll. Here's how people describe Tom Cotton. the mega Republican Senate stooge aloof. out of touch, rarely spends time in the. state. And as this Arkansas Times. article says, it's starting to add up. for this mega Republican stooge two-term. Senator. Cotton. I want to bring in Holly. Shaffner right now the Democratic. candidate for for United States Senate. seat. Sixth generation farmer, you know. the state, your family's grown up in the.
state, you're with the people of the. state. You know, oftentimes I do these. reports and people say, "Ben, you know, don't give us this hopium. Arkansas's. ruby red. Don't do the Trump's. collapsing in Arkansas story and get our. hopes up." But, Haily, there's a lot of. momentum that people really need to be. paying attention to around your. campaign. Can you talk about it? >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the poll. really just confirms what we already. knew. It actually mirrored an. independent poll, not an independent.
poll, it mirrored a poll that we did. internally 2 weeks ago. And it also. mirrors what we're seeing on the ground, which is Arkansans are very. independent-minded. In fact, most of our voters aren't even. registered with the party. And 15 years ago, we elected a Democrat. as governor and he won all 75 counties. When I'm traveling around the state and. I'm talking to folks who are either. Republican or Democrat, in fact, a lot. of them say, "You know what? You cut me. open and I'm purple.". You don't have to change your party to.
want to change your senator. We're all. looking at the past 12 years of Tom. Cotton and realizing that Washington is. absolutely not working for us. >> Sixth generation farmer, seems that. every day the Trump regime does. something new to attack farmers. Announces this week the new policy is. central planning communism, but for the. benefit of mystery foreign countries.
We're going to be bringing mystery. foreign frozen meat and beef in here. We're not going to tell you really where. it's from, whether it'll have the health. checks or go through the processes here. that our ranchers go through. But, what. Trump does want our ranchers to know. here as well as that they'll be undercut. by 25% by the foreign beef. And then you. go across the board. I mean, I know, you. know, your your family and your. background, soybean farmers. I mean, Donald Trump, you know, blew up that. market, then wanted a participation.
trophy, that China buys half the. soybeans it did, you know, previously. Talk to us about, you know, what you're. seeing on the ground there. >> I mean, right now, Arkansas, we lead the. nation in farm bankruptcies and farmer. suicides. And we've lost 25% of the. family farms in Arkansas in the last 18. months. I closed my operation last year. I mean, I really wouldn't be here today if Tom. Cotton hadn't taken my job by voting. against the farm bill twice. We have. been kicking the can down the road on a. farm bill that has contributed to the. farm crisis, of course, the trade war.
with China. And I will actually say the. trade war with China in 2018. really initiated this downhill slide. that farmers have been on. And it really. just ramped up last year with the second. trade war. Because you're right, our. product, which is soybeans, that's. that's the main product in Arkansas, we're just sitting in bins across the. state unsold. Farmers aren't making any. money. They can't pay off their. operating loans. The war in Iran has. jacked up diesel prices for them.
And it's not just farmers. I mean, let's. be clear. Arkansas, we're the hungriest. state in the country, we're the second. sickest, and the fourth poorest. I mean, I'm not just a farmer and a small. business owner. I'm also a wife, um the. mom of a 7-year-old boy. I care give for. a parent who has dementia. These are all. factors that folks in Arkansas are. really identifying with because we're. struggling in pretty much every aspect. of our lives. >> You know, but when you see Trump and. Cotton, what they just repeat is, "You. love us, don't you? We love you." You.
know, and we we we no one no one's done. more ever in the history. We love you. We love you. We love you. You know, you. know, and. they're relying on that. You know, you. love us, don't don't you? You know, and. you know, it does seem like with every. Ponzi scheme, at some point when you. promise everything and you lie about it. and they've I mean you can see and I. think the farmers in Arkansas, just. people in Arkansas, you can see how this. fire hose of lies works from the Trump.
regime. There's no shame. If you or I or. most people in Arkansas tell a lie, even. a small lie, you feel a sense of like. guilt like I. whatever even if it's a little tiny fib. He lies relent every word utterance. sounds so You know, so it's easy for him. to say, "I'm going to promise you this. You're going to get so rich. It's right. around the corner. I promise you. I. promise you." But here we are and it. didn't happen. And the people not only. did it not happen, but he's destroyed. the people's lives. And so it feels like.
with every Ponzi scheme eventually. someone says, "All right, you said all. that. You told me we were going to be. rich. Now pay up. What am I going to. get?" And we seem to be at that moment. where people are like, "Okay, well now. we're here." And now my family's lives. but what are you going to do? >> I mean eventually the house of cards. collapses, right? And and folks in. Arkansas, I mean we're pulling out our. pockets and there's nothing in them. And. we all know the grocery store doesn't. have a Democrat price and a Republican. price. When you're all struggling, you're all struggling. And I know a lot. of folks across Arkansas who have voted.
Republican in the last three elections, who did vote for the president in the. last three elections and they're really. feeling betrayed. They feel like they. were sold a bill of goods that then was. not delivered on. Especially farmers. I mean I I've I've. been to farms all over the state and. they really feel like they've been used. as the tip of the spear in the war in. Iran and in this trade war with China. and with the rest of the world because. we do sell a lot of agricultural. products to Canada and Mexico and Europe. and it seems like everybody's just mad.
at us and so they're buying their. agricultural products somewhere else. Arkansans are ready for a change and it. doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat. or Republican if you're suffering. And I. argue I'm not asking anybody to become a. Democrat. I'm just asking can't we do a. heck of a lot better than Tom Cotton? >> You know, I think one of the most. offensive aspects in this catastrophic. war. when Donald Trump said Iran's going to. be the one doing the bailout. Do you. remember when he said that? He said. farmers, Iran's going to be purchasing.
all of your soybeans, and so we've got. we've got it saved. It's coming from. Iran right now, and people are like, huh? What are What are you saying right. now? Um so you've got that. But tell us about. your background though. So people know. who you are. Um I think people would. love to hear from you. >> I mean, um I'm sixth generation farmer. Most people know that about me. Um I am. a wife. I'm the mother of a little. 7-year-old boy who's about to be eight. Um my parents are both seniors. Uh. they're getting older. My dad has. dementia. Uh one of the things I talk about a lot.
is that this story of the farm closing. last year, which was a really difficult. thing for my family to go through, that's the story of Arkansas right now. I mean, we are doing everything right. We're working harder than ever, and. we're still not making it. And it's not. because we have failed. It's because we. live in a system rigged against us, and. it's rigged by and for politicians like. Tom Cotton. to further their own national political. ambitions, um the interest of their.
biggest donors, and Washington insiders. Today I went on a conservative talk. radio. show, and I argued that the issue we. have today is that our politicians have. gone to Washington, they have stayed too. long, and they've pulled the ladder up. behind them, and they don't come home. Tom Cotton is probably the worst about. this. He does not live in Arkansas. He. lives in Virginia. He does not come home. He has no. constituent services program to speak. of, and he has voted against our. interest every chance he got, including. voting against the farm bill twice.
>> You know, and then you see him. wrapping his arm around Donald Trump. over golden ballrooms and gilded bronze. statues and supporting Donald Trump. 21,000 stock trades in 2025, 1,000 stock. trades in June alone. Donald Trump. running around with Natalie hiding in uh. catering containers, you know, in the. NATO summit, bragging about how rich he. is. I know, I I think there's also the.
contrast of here's how people in. Arkansas are doing and here's what. they're doing and they're just flaunting. it. Right? Like the Cotton's and the. Trump's, they're like letting the people. of Arkansas know, oh, you're struggling? We're going to just do gold everywhere. with your taxpayer money. Also, while we. cover up the Epstein files, you know, while while we're at it, which we. promised we were going to release. So, they're just doing it. >> And people are tired. I mean, my god, we. are sick and tired of being sick and.
tired and we are exhausted. Let me tell. you, whether I'm in a farm shop, a. diner, or a Democratic County Party. meeting, people are tired of the rhetoric and the. political theater. They're tired of the. left and right and the liberal and. conservative. We're real people, we have. real problems and we're crying out for. someone who believes that the purpose of. government is to solve problems, create. progress, and not just posture around. for the next election. >> So, we have about 7 million subscribers. here on the Midas Touch YouTube channel.

and it's like I say all the time and. it's like the feedback I'm getting, you. do not have to change your party to want. a better senator for Arkansas. >> Natalie Shockley, thanks for joining us.
