Brooke Rollins tackles farm country challenges

Friday, May 22, 2026

This week on the Scott Jennings Show, we're diving into the latest news on Capitol Hill, where the US Senate abruptly adjourned for its Memorial Day recess without passing a reconciliation bill needed to fund US immigration enforcement. The Senate was blown up over a proposed $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who were unfairly targeted by the federal government. The fund is a response to the government's weaponization against Donald Trump, but some Republicans have concerns about its implementation.

The episode also covers the debate over daylight saving time, with President Trump backing a renewed push to make it permanent nationwide. Democrats have also been in the spotlight for abandoning a national women's museum project after adding language that defined the museum as showcasing only biological women. The conversation also touches on the importance of Memorial Day and the sacrifices made by soldiers who gave their lives for their country.

The Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, joins the show to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to stabilize the farm economy and lower fertilizer prices. She explains how the administration is working to bring production of fertilizer back into the US through projects like the Blue Point Project, a $3.7 billion ammonia plan in Louisiana. The conversation also covers the beef industry and the impact of high fertilizer prices on farmers.

The episode wraps up with a discussion on the latest news and analysis from the world of politics, including the resignation of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the upcoming runoff election in Georgia. The conversation also touches on the Democratic National Committee's autopsy report and the latest developments in the world of politics.
