[00:00:02]  Back in the year 2022, when you already had the Ukraine-Russia war raging, and it was putting a lot of pressure on the fertilizer supply, the wheat exports, and you had politicians all across the world saying, hey, there's a real possibility of a food crisis coming on the horizon.
[00:00:19]  It was at that time that a lot of these farmer protests began happening.
[00:00:23]  And of course, as a reporter, I'm always looking for an interesting story, and so I saw that, and I'm like, okay, that makes sense.
[00:00:28]  I mean, there's macroeconomic problems.
[00:00:29]  I'm sure they're protesting about that.
[00:00:31]  But then you look into it, it's like, no, these farmers are protesting their own government who's handcuffing them and putting them out of business.
[00:00:39]  So it's like, that doesn't make any sense.
[00:00:41]  Like, why would that be happening, right?
