00:00:00Expo Ekiden is made in Ebisu.
00:00:30Do you have any news you are curious about?
00:00:32I'm curious about everything, but I haven't seen any news about the war in Ukraine.
00:00:45I wonder what's going on.
00:00:47I'd like to do this.
00:00:49Will there be a war?
00:00:50Yes.
00:00:51What about you, Toyosaki?
00:00:52I'm curious about the world, but I'm curious about the rice at my feet.
00:00:55Rice.
00:00:56I eat it every day.
00:00:57It's expensive, isn't it?
00:00:59Last year, there was no rice, and this year, there is no rice.
00:01:04Now there is rice, but it costs about 1,000 yen.
00:01:07It's more expensive than I thought.
00:01:09I'd like to ask you a question.
00:01:11Before we go to the news, I'm sorry.
00:01:16Fujii-sensei won't come this week.
00:01:20I'm sorry.
00:01:24I just got a call from you.
00:01:29There will be a storm in the evening.
00:01:33I'm afraid the train will be disqualified.
00:01:37It's not that.
00:01:39I'm sorry.
00:01:47I saw it in my dreams.
00:01:52You know, what's your name?
00:01:54I'm waiting in a lonely station in China.
00:01:59Now, Mr. Fujii is waiting in a mountain in China.
00:02:04Probably, he's wearing a coat with brown color.
00:02:08He's standing in a thin sandwich.
00:02:12If he sees you, he'll say,
00:02:14You are a fool.
00:02:16I'm looking forward to it.
00:02:19First of all, let's look at this news.
00:02:23Will the movement of the Ukrainian invasion end with President Trump?
00:02:28I'd like to ask this person about the Ukrainian invasion.
00:02:31After graduating from the Defense University, he joined the Kaiju Self-Defense Force.
00:02:34In addition, as the top of the Self-Defense Force,
00:02:37Mr. Katsutoshi Kawano, who has responded to various crises in Japan.
00:02:43There was a big movement this week.
00:02:45Please look at this.
00:02:47The movement towards a ceasefire has accelerated.
00:02:50From yesterday to tomorrow, the Security Conference will be held in Munich, Germany.
00:02:56There, Vice President Burns and President Zelensky talked.
00:03:02They talked about the end of the war with the United States.
00:03:06Mr. Burns, I want to achieve permanent peace.
00:03:09Mr. Zelensky, it was a good conversation from Facebook.
00:03:14This Wednesday, President Trump also had a phone conversation with Putin.
00:03:18President Putin is hoping for the end of the war.
00:03:21Perhaps the first meeting will be held in Beirut.
00:03:25The first meeting will be held in Saudi Arabia.
00:03:28Is this in Beirut?
00:03:29Maybe it's Ukraine and the United States.
00:03:32What do you think about that?
00:03:34Which one?
00:03:35The first meeting will be held in Beirut.
00:03:38Beirut.
00:03:39Beirut meeting.
00:03:40President Trump is planning to visit Saudi Arabia.
00:03:43I think it's a good opportunity.
00:03:45It is also said that Putin invited Trump to Moscow.
00:03:50After that, he had a phone conversation with Zelensky.
00:03:54On social media, Mr. Zelensky talked for a long time about the opportunity to achieve peace.
00:04:00President Trump shared the details of the phone conversation with President Putin.
00:04:07Mr. Zelensky, what do you think?
00:04:09Is there a high possibility that a ceasefire will be held in the United States?
00:04:13After three years of war, both countries are at a loss.
00:04:17First of all, is there a high possibility?
00:04:19I don't know the exact word.
00:04:21Please.
00:04:22It's called a conclusion.
00:04:23Yes, a conclusion.
00:04:24I don't know this.
00:04:25President Putin has not achieved his goal in the war in Ukraine.
00:04:30So it's really a conclusion.
00:04:33A ceasefire.
00:04:34A ceasefire.
00:04:35There is a high possibility that a ceasefire will be held in the United States.
00:04:38I have a question.
00:04:39What does Putin want?
00:04:42He wants to merge Ukraine with Russia.
00:04:46To put it simply.
00:04:47That's what he wants.
00:04:49A conclusion.
00:04:51A ceasefire.
00:04:52Each word is slightly different.
00:04:54Yes, that's right.
00:04:55So, is the situation bad?
00:04:58Is the situation bad?
00:04:59It's been three years since the war began.
00:05:01The military's morale has also dropped.
00:05:04I'll explain later.
00:05:06President Putin's feet are shaking.
00:05:10And President Zelensky, on the other hand,
00:05:13last year, he tried to attack Russia.
00:05:17But in the end, he failed.
00:05:19Therefore, it is a bit impractical to regain the territory that has been taken.
00:05:26That's what President Zelensky is beginning to think.
00:05:30Therefore, it is a bit impractical.
00:05:33What do you think about Ukraine's public opinion?
00:05:36Do you think it's an unforgivable counterattack against Russia's advance?
00:05:41Or do you want to fix it?
00:05:44What do you think?
00:05:46I tried it once and it didn't work.
00:05:50I think there is a difference between Russia and Ukraine.
00:05:56I think the Ukrainians want a ceasefire.
00:06:01Mr. Yoshihide Takahashi, Russia's advance in Ukraine has been three years.
00:06:06How do you see it now?
00:06:09I'm sure it's at that time.
00:06:12From President Zelensky's perspective,
00:06:15I think it's a little dissatisfying that Putin and Trump are fighting each other and can't push the results.
00:06:22That's why I've been telling Mr. Zelensky all this time.
00:06:25I'm talking about putting me and Europe in.
00:06:29It seems that Mr. Trump is doing it with Putin,
00:06:33and Mr. Zelensky is doing it a little bit, but it's selfish.
00:06:36It's like reporting selfishly.
00:06:39The order here is also difficult.
00:06:42There may be both sides.
00:06:46Please see what the background is for the ceasefire.
00:06:51As you said, Russia is being cornered.
00:06:54Where are you cornered?
00:06:56I'm not cornered.
00:06:57If you look at the map, you'll see Russia cornered.
00:07:00Russia, Ukraine, Crimea, Syria.
00:07:09Here, purple is Azerbaijan, gray is Armenia.
00:07:18What's going on here?
00:07:21It's been three years since Russia tried to put an end to it in a short period of time.
00:07:27That's why they're using a lot of physical strength in Ukraine.
00:07:30They're being cornered.
00:07:33What happened during that time?
00:07:35It's Syria, but the anti-government forces have already defeated the Assad regime.
00:07:40The Assad regime, which Russia supported in December last year, has collapsed.
00:07:44There's a Russian army in Syria, right?
00:07:47That's right.
00:07:48They have a naval base called Tartus, which is mainly in the Mediterranean Sea.
00:07:53In particular, this naval base is a base that can be used in the Mediterranean Sea,
00:07:58so there is a possibility of losing footing.
00:08:01Russia wants to go out to the Mediterranean Sea,
00:08:06and this is a very important point.
00:08:08Because Crimea and this place come out like this.
00:08:11Yes, that's right.
00:08:12This area is controlled by Turkey,
00:08:15so if you want to go to the Mediterranean Sea, it's better to be here.
00:08:18That's why...
00:08:20A long time ago, a friend of mine told me that Russia's weather forecast
00:08:25and Syria's weather forecast are the same.
00:08:30That's because there are a lot of Russian people here.
00:08:33There was an Arab Spring, right?
00:08:35Yes, there was.
00:08:36The Middle East was democratized.
00:08:38Yes, it was democratized one after another.
00:08:40However, only Syria retained the Assad regime.
00:08:44The reason is that Russia was there.
00:08:46Russia backed up.
00:08:48If Russia goes to the Mediterranean Sea or Ukraine this time,
00:08:51it will collapse at once.
00:08:53So the Assad regime was completely supported by Russia.
00:08:56That's right.
00:08:57It collapsed.
00:08:58One more thing.
00:08:59Japanese people are not very interested in this area.
00:09:02I didn't know that.
00:09:03I didn't know that.
00:09:04This area is called Caucasus.
00:09:07It's called the Caucasus region.
00:09:09In Azerbaijan, there is a region called Nagorno-Karabakh.
00:09:15It's in the territory of Azerbaijan,
00:09:18but there are actually a lot of Armenians living there.
00:09:21Armenians want to take this area to Armenia.
00:09:25There are a lot of Armenians living in this purple area.
00:09:29That's right.
00:09:30It's called Nagorno-Karabakh.
00:09:32It's not on the border.
00:09:34It's in Azerbaijan.
00:09:36There are a lot of Armenians living in this area.
00:09:40Moreover, Azerbaijan is an Islamic country.
00:09:43It's a Shia country.
00:09:45Armenia is a Christian country.
00:09:47That's what happened.
00:09:49Therefore, Armenia was constantly at war.
00:09:52Armenians always won.
00:09:55Because Russia backed Armenia.
00:09:57Azerbaijan backed Turkey.
00:10:00I have a question.
00:10:02Turkey and Russia support each other.
00:10:06What I learned as an ally is that Turkey is in NATO,
00:10:11but Russia and Turkey have a good defense relationship.
00:10:17But they are hostile to each other.
00:10:20That's right.
00:10:22They were hostile to each other here.
00:10:25So what happened?
00:10:27Armenia won.
00:10:29Russia lost to Ukraine.
00:10:33Russia lost to Russia.
00:10:36So Armenia lost.
00:10:39So what happened?
00:10:41Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan.
00:10:49Then Armenia came to the forefront.
00:10:53Russia didn't support Armenia at all.
00:10:57It was a different promise.
00:10:59So now Russia and Armenia are in a very hostile mood.
00:11:03Finally, Armenia said it would go to the EU.
00:11:06What?
00:11:08So now Russia...
00:11:11Does that mean Russia wants to join NATO?
00:11:14So far, it's only been to the EU.
00:11:16Russia hasn't said that.
00:11:18EU is an economic alliance.
00:11:20NATO will be a military power.
00:11:22Russia hasn't said that.
00:11:24If Russia says that, Russia will be in trouble.
00:11:27So Russia has been aware of this for a long time.
00:11:32Russia is now in a bad situation.
00:11:35Russia is now in a bad situation because it joined Ukraine.
00:11:42So Russia wants to stop the war and rebuild the situation.
00:11:48Russia.
00:11:50Nakama-kun, Russia.
00:11:52You can see Russia on the map.
00:11:54The story of Russia being cornered is very interesting.
00:11:57I thought it was because Russia was in a bad situation.
00:12:03I thought it was because Russia was in a bad situation.
00:12:08One more question.
00:12:10The Caspian Sea.
00:12:12The Caspian Sea is important because it is connected to the Mediterranean Sea.
00:12:16Is the existence of the Caspian Sea important to Russia?
00:12:20It's not that important.
00:12:22It's not an external issue.
00:12:24But the caviar here is very good.
00:12:26But the caviar here is very good.
00:12:30President Trump says Russia is cornering Russia.
00:12:34President Trump says Russia is cornering Russia.
00:12:37Russia is cornered by Trump's deal.
00:12:39Russia is cornered by Trump's deal.
00:12:41Because of the oil, we were concerned about the gas price.
00:12:47At the time of President Trump, the price of the oil decreased.
00:12:53At the time of President Trump, the price of the oil decreased.
00:12:55Anyway, during the Biden administration, there wasn't much oil to stop the global warming.
00:13:01The oil supply was so low that the Russian economy was able to save itself.
00:13:06Yes, the price of oil was so high that if it was dug and dug and dug, the supply would increase, right?
00:13:14Then the price would go down, right? In terms of economic theory.
00:13:17If that happens, it will be a big blow to the Russian economy, which relies on oil.
00:13:22That's why, Mr. Hong Kong, when we do news about the presidential election,
00:13:27Russia or something like that, Trump or something like that, in order to disrupt the US presidential election,
00:13:34they broadcast fake news or something like that.
00:13:36So Russia actually wanted Trump to be president, or something like that, but as far as I can tell...
00:13:42So basically, if it's a coalition government, it's going to be like this.
00:13:46It's a democratic government, so they're going to save up their power.
00:13:50Putin thinks that Trump will end in four years.
00:13:55In the meantime, they're going to have a low battle, save up their money, and do it.
00:14:01If it was Harris, I think he would have been doing it for a long time.
00:14:05As you just said, it's been four years since President Trump changed the Constitution.
00:14:10It's already been decided, right?
00:14:12So for four years, Russia is going to rebuild it again.
00:14:16Is Putin thinking that long?
00:14:18Yes, he is. He's still 70 years old.
00:14:2171 years old. That's about it.
00:14:23The average life expectancy of Russia is quite low in the world.
00:14:26But it seems that it has come up because it has become a lot like vodka.
00:14:31Mr. Takagashi, is Putin happy that Trump has become the second president or not?
00:14:41In terms of energy, the Russian economy is completely in line with energy science.
00:14:47That's exactly what it is.
00:14:48So in that sense, it's very effective that it doesn't stop rising.
00:14:52It works, but if you think about Putin and Trump,
00:14:57There's another Zelensky here, right?
00:14:59Mr. Zelensky is looking for various guarantees.
00:15:05It's absolutely Putin's fault that he's in NATO.
00:15:07So how far is Zelensky's guarantee going with just rare earths?
00:15:12I think it's a little hard to do with just rare earths.
00:15:17Last Monday, the United States supported Ukraine with several trillion dollars.
00:15:21As a return, I want rare earths worth 5 trillion dollars, which is about 76 trillion yen in Japanese yen.
00:15:28Rare earths are things that are now necessary for electronic devices, right?
00:15:32Yes, it's all in the smartphone, right?
00:15:34Do you have that much underground resources in Ukraine?
00:15:39The United States wants that.
00:15:42And the one who visited Ukraine was Mr. Vincent, the Secretary of State.
00:15:49The agreement on rare earths will be a shield of security for Ukraine after the end of the war.
00:15:55The United States is also full of motivation.
00:15:58So this is a great story, isn't it?
00:16:03Speaking of which, you've done a lot of military exercises so far, haven't you?
00:16:06It's a story about returning the money, isn't it?
00:16:08But it's very good that Trump gave the rare earths an order.
00:16:13It's got an anti-China perspective.
00:16:16So far, we've been taking rare earths from China, and if something happens to China, we'll stop it, right?
00:16:21Then, if you have this pipe in Ukraine, you won't be threatened by China.
00:16:28I think that's a good idea.
00:16:29The other thing is, it's not like NATO, but the economic interests of the United States will occur in Ukraine, right?
00:16:41At that time, if Putin says that the war is not over yet and enters again,
00:16:47Then the United States might say, wait a minute.
00:16:52I don't want you to come into my profit.
00:16:55I don't care what you're doing in the new garden that's been built recently.
00:17:01Mr. Torosaki, how did you feel when you heard all this?
00:17:06There's a lot of stuff like human rights in the end of the war, and if you give me that, I'll help you out here.
00:17:14That's the only way to talk about it, isn't it?
00:17:16It's because each of us has a reason to move, isn't it?
00:17:19Then you'll definitely think about it again someday, won't you?
00:17:21I think so.
00:17:23Last Tuesday, Trump said,
00:17:24I will give you the Nobel Peace Prize for your protest in the Gaza Strip.
00:17:28In other words, if you stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine and protest the Gaza Strip,
00:17:35I'll give you the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:17:39I wonder if he really wants it or not.
00:17:42He said he was going to get it when he was in North Korea during his first term in office.
00:17:49He hasn't given up yet, has he?
00:17:51As I said earlier, it's a power game, and it's not about human rights.
00:17:56Of course, human rights are important.
00:17:59But the reality is that this is how the world is moving.
00:18:04It's a power game, power game, historically.
00:18:08Of course, but Ukraine will never be able to join NATO.
00:18:11It's not possible right now, is it?
00:18:13The country next to Russia must be an interference zone, so it can't be allowed to have a Western military alliance.
00:18:21As I said earlier, the purpose of Putin is to make Ukraine his own.
00:18:26What does that mean?
00:18:28This means that the West will never be able to join NATO.
00:18:34He will never allow anyone to join NATO.
00:18:39The West and Trump know that, so I don't think it's possible.
00:18:44Mr. Takahashi.
00:18:45It's true that there's a power game like this.
00:18:47I'm playing a power game between Trump and Putin.
00:18:51If you're in Zelenskiy's position, what would happen if Trump was gone?
00:18:56Then I'm a little worried just to meet him.
00:18:58Zelenskiy once said,
00:19:01Whether to join NATO or have nuclear weapons.
00:19:05He said that, but he didn't say anything at the time.
00:19:11He didn't say anything at all.
00:19:12He only said one thing.
00:19:14But the nuclear weapons are there because Zelenskiy abandoned them.
00:19:20Originally, when the Soviet Union was independent from Russia, there were nuclear weapons in Ukraine, right?
00:19:30Yes, there were.
00:19:31Why did you decide to abandon them?
00:19:35Because the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia guaranteed the safety of Ukraine.
00:19:40I think it was a Bucharest statement.
00:19:43Because they guaranteed it, they returned it to Russia.
00:19:46They returned it to Russia.
00:19:47But it's completely protected.
00:19:49I definitely remember that.
00:19:51Everyone in Ukraine remembers.
00:19:53Then what happens is that there's a nuclear power plant in Ukraine, right?
00:19:57You can make plutonium there.
00:19:59I see, I see.
00:20:00In that case, a Nagasaki-type nuclear power plant may be possible in three to six months.
00:20:08It's possible to make it in Ukraine.
00:20:10In the end, there is a possibility that it will be brought to that story.
00:20:15In the end, it's a matter of good or bad.
00:20:17That's what I'm talking about.
00:20:19Here's a question from Mr. Shibuki.
00:20:24Now, how will the Ukrainian invasion end?
00:20:28I'll explain after this.
00:20:32How will the Ukrainian invasion, an ally of justice broadcast live, end?
00:20:38Please take a look at this.
00:20:40Now, this Tuesday, Zelensky said,
00:20:42In exchange for the territory that Russia is now occupying,
00:20:45The Ukrainian army in Kursk, western Russia, has signed an agreement to hand over the territory.
00:20:53Now, Putin, in 2014, Crimea, and in 2022,
00:20:58He unilaterally declared the four-state peace treaty of Donetsk, Helsinki, Luhansk, and Zaporizhia.
00:21:07On Tuesday, Zelensky made this statement.
00:21:09And the next day, Trump said,
00:21:11There is a low possibility of returning to the border before 2014.
00:21:15Now, here's a map.
00:21:17Right now, right after the invasion,
00:21:19It's the situation in Ukraine on February 12, 2025.
00:21:25It's a little easier to understand.
00:21:27Where is it?
00:21:29In the first place, this red area...
00:21:31Can I go over there?
00:21:33Yes, please.
00:21:36This doesn't matter at all.
00:21:38This was taken in 2014.
00:21:40Now, in this war,
00:21:42These are the only ones that are now in the Russian occupation.
00:21:44That's what it means.
00:21:46This is where the new deal was negotiated.
00:21:48That's right.
00:21:50There are details like this.
00:21:52To put it bluntly, that's what it is.
00:21:54So, how do I put this?

00:26:11USAID, the American International Development Agency.
00:26:17It is a agency that has been providing food, education, and health care support to poor areas around the world.
00:26:25In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake, Japan was not an exception.
00:26:30USAID provided support for rescue activities on site.
00:26:37Such an organization is now facing the threat of disintegration.
00:26:44And the one who is pushing it is...
00:26:47Yes!
00:26:51And let me tell you...
00:26:53I'm going to work my ass off for you guys.
00:26:58Elon Musk, an entrepreneur who works on electric car manufacturers like Tesla and SpaceX.
00:27:07And he can probably shrink it as well as anybody else has done better.
00:27:12President Trump appointed Musk as the top official of the government.
00:27:19Why did they target USAID?
00:27:25By reducing the cost of the administration, they can halve the cost of about 2 trillion dollars.
00:27:32President Trump claims that the purpose of USAID is to halve the cost of the administration by reducing the size of government agencies and small and medium-sized businesses.
00:27:44However, Mr. Musk was muttering on social media like this.
00:27:49USAID is a criminal organization.
00:27:53Do you know that USAID used your tax money to provide funds for biological weaponry research, including a new coronavirus infection, and took the lives of millions of people?
00:28:07It turns out that USAID was called a criminal organization and was even accused of conspiracy theories.
00:28:15And this person...
00:28:18USAID is really corrupt.
00:28:21USAID, which is run by the spiritual leftists, is in the midst of a huge fraud.
00:28:30He is cruelly refuting it.
00:28:33What will happen to USAID, which is a group of various conspiracies?
00:28:42According to American media,
00:28:44the Trump administration is planning to reduce the number of employees of USAID from 10,000 to about 290.
00:28:55Mr. West, Mr. Nakama, and Mr. Hong Kong have a question about this news.
00:29:00Please take a look at the illustration of Takewaka Gahaku when he was a Buffalo.
00:29:06What exactly did USAID do until now?
00:29:11What kind of impact will it have on the reduction of employees?
00:29:17What is the real purpose of USAID?
00:29:21It's been trending on social media, but not on TV.
00:29:27Is there anything inconvenient about it?
00:29:31Please tell us.
00:29:33Mr. Nakama, what kind of activities does USAID do?
00:29:40Does it affect the reduction of employees?
00:29:44I've been supported by Japan, so I know their names.
00:29:47But I don't know what exactly they do.
00:29:50I'd like to ask Mr. Hong Kong.
00:29:54Mr. Hong Kong, what is the real purpose of USAID?
00:29:58Is there a reason why it's not on TV?
00:30:00I've heard a lot of things about it from the media.
00:30:06Journalists and so on.
00:30:08Mr. Gackt also posted about it.
00:30:11He said it was better to do it properly.
00:30:14It's been trending all over the world.
00:30:17It's got more than 2.6 million posts.
00:30:21Mr. Gackt said it's got 10 million posts.
00:30:24But why is it always trending on social media?
00:30:30I don't know why.
00:30:32I'd like to ask Mr. Gackt.
00:30:37Please tell us.
00:30:39I'm Toshihiro Yamada, a former editor of Newsweek.
00:30:45I'm an international journalist.
00:30:48Mr. Yamada, what do you think about USAID?
00:30:53USAID is a revenge against President Trump.
00:30:58A revenge?
00:31:00Yes, it's a revenge.
00:31:03I'll tell you more about it later.
00:31:08Trump is trying to dismantle USAID, a human rights organization.
00:31:16Take a look at this.
00:31:18Why is it a target?
00:31:20What is USAID?
00:31:21USAID is an international development organization.
00:31:24It was founded in 1961.
00:31:27It has 10,000 employees.
00:31:29Three of them work abroad.
00:31:32They are based in more than 60 countries.
00:31:36Their annual budget is about 6 trillion yen.
00:31:39Their main activities are economic support for Ukraine,
00:31:42humanitarian aid for wounded, treatment, and Gaza.
00:31:45They also support Japan.
00:31:47In the Great East Japan Earthquake,
00:31:48they provided $7.13 million to Japan.
00:31:51They also provided support to the West Japan Earthquake
00:31:54and the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
00:31:56This week, Trump and Elon Musk said
00:31:59that USAID is really corrupt.
00:32:03Elon Musk is running at the top.
00:32:07At the same time, he cooperated with the government
00:32:10and said, let's eliminate the government's employees.
00:32:13It's a waste of money.
00:32:15Elon Musk is at the top.
00:32:16He cooperated with the government
00:32:19and said, let's eliminate the government's employees.
00:32:22He signed the president's order.
00:32:24The reason is that there are many projects
00:32:27that are not in line with President Trump's ideas.
00:32:30Is USAID a famous organization?
00:32:33Yes, it's a very famous organization.
00:32:35When there is a disaster abroad,
00:32:39USAID usually comes out
00:32:42and provides support.
00:32:43When refugees come out,
00:32:46I've talked about this before,
00:32:49USAID comes out with the UN
00:32:52and provides food.
00:32:55They go to the site,
00:32:57and they work with NGOs
00:33:01and other organizations in the country.
00:33:04In 2011,
00:33:06I joined the US military.
00:33:09I got in touch with USAID right away.
00:33:12I think it's good to hear that.
00:33:15I think it's good to hear that.
00:33:18What is the conspiracy theory of the budget
00:33:22and the criminal organization?
00:33:25Please tell us.
00:33:27I'm doing all the good things,
00:33:30but if you look closely at the back,
00:33:33it's not like that.
00:33:35For example,
00:33:37the budget is actually roughly
00:33:39the same as that of Japan.
00:33:41So, overseas,
00:33:43we don't use receipts like we do in Japan.
00:33:46That's why it's all over the place.
00:33:49For example,
00:33:51this is what I found out
00:33:53when I was investigating.
00:33:55The NGOs in the country
00:33:57spend a lot of money,
00:33:59but half of the money
00:34:01goes to the organization.
00:34:03That's why there are so many
00:34:05people who are corrupt.
00:34:06Mr. Trump says that
00:34:08this organization, USAID,
00:34:10is corrupt.
00:34:12What do you think about this?
00:34:14There are similar organizations in Japan.
00:34:16In fact, when there is a reform,
00:34:18it is very theoretical
00:34:20to focus on overseas organizations.
00:34:22Because it's overseas,
00:34:24it's hard to understand.
00:34:26If you look it up,
00:34:28a lot of things come up.
00:34:30In Japan, in 2008,
00:34:32when there was a reform,
00:34:33JICA,
00:34:35Japan International Corporation Agency,
00:34:37and JVIC,
00:34:39Japan Bank for International Cooperation,
00:34:41those two were the targets.
00:34:43I was told to do something,
00:34:45so I did it under the Prime Minister's order.
00:34:47As a result,
00:34:49JVIC was abolished.
00:34:51However,
00:34:53this is difficult
00:34:55because it's a huge problem.
00:34:57There are a lot of things like that.
00:34:59There are good ones,
00:35:01and there are bad ones.
00:35:03Another point is
00:35:05that if you do it only in the US,
00:35:07people will be happy.
00:35:09It's China and Russia.
00:35:11If the US withdraws from this organization,
00:35:13China will come
00:35:15and become an organization
00:35:17that meets the needs of China.
00:35:19It will become even worse.
00:35:21It's difficult to do it by hand,
00:35:23but the American way
00:35:25is to abolish it all at once.
00:35:27I couldn't do that,
00:35:29so I only abolished the executives.
00:35:30You abolished the executives.
00:35:32Yes.
00:35:34I put them in other organizations.
00:35:36If you look closely at USAID,
00:35:38I think they will put them in the Ministry of National Defense.
00:35:40Then,
00:35:42they will abolish a lot of executives,
00:35:44but they will re-approve the good ones.
00:35:46I think they will probably do it last.
00:35:48However,
00:35:50there is no doubt that something strange will happen.
00:35:52When I look at this,
00:35:54I look at the quality code.
00:35:56When I look at the quality code,
00:35:58I can tell who it is,
00:36:00and I can tell who the person is.
00:36:02There are quite a lot of people
00:36:04who haven't written their names.
00:36:06It's quite a mess.
00:36:08Every year,
00:36:10money comes in from here,
00:36:12and I think it will come in indefinitely,
00:36:14and there are a lot of bad people
00:36:16who will put it in their pocket.
00:36:18By the way,
00:36:20there are about 3,000 employees at JICA.
00:36:22The budget is about 1,000 to 2,000.
00:36:24It's that big.
00:36:26If you look at it,
00:36:27a lot of money will come out.
00:36:29That's right.
00:36:31And if we do the reform
00:36:33while taking advantage of it,
00:36:35I think it will be similar to any other country.
00:36:37There are a lot of projects
00:36:39that don't meet Trump's agenda.
00:36:41Some of the USAID projects.
00:36:43In Vietnam,
00:36:45$16.8 million in activities
00:36:47to promote sustainability.
00:36:49In Guatemala,
00:36:51$2 million in activities
00:36:53to promote gender and LGBTQ.
00:36:55In other words,
00:36:57let's go back to the beginning.
00:36:59In other words,
00:37:01Trump is the current president.
00:37:03In the presidential inauguration,
00:37:05gender is only two,
00:37:07men and women.
00:37:09Gender can't be changed.
00:37:11D.E.I.
00:37:13Diversity, Equality,
00:37:15Equality,
00:37:17There is a concept of
00:37:19criticizing the compulsion,
00:37:21so it doesn't fit
00:37:23the current USAID project.
00:37:25That's right.
00:37:27For example,
00:37:29going to Guatemala
00:37:31to support gender transformation
00:37:33is for the benefit
00:37:35of the American people.
00:37:37That's a simple example.
00:37:39There are many other cases
00:37:41like this.
00:37:43There are cases all over the world.
00:37:45By reducing these cases one by one,
00:37:47I think Trump is thinking
00:37:49about returning the share
00:37:51to the United States
00:37:53for the American people.
00:37:55D.E.I.
00:37:57In other words,
00:37:59suddenly the president is changed,
00:38:01and the status of IT companies
00:38:03is suddenly changed,
00:38:05and the people that companies employ
00:38:07are changed,
00:38:09and the top is changed,
00:38:11and everything is changed.
00:38:13I'll explain it in this way.
00:38:15What Trump is saying is
00:38:17that if we employ faculty,
00:38:19we should employ them by ability.
00:38:21In the past,
00:38:23we used D.E.I.
00:38:25such as diversity,
00:38:27and the minority as a nation.
00:38:30If we include those people in a certain number
00:38:32and hire them while balancing,
00:38:35the organization might not be able to do it.
00:38:38In fact, in the Washington area,
00:38:41there is a collision zone with a helicopter.
00:38:44Trump says that
00:38:46because of the way it is adopted,
00:38:48the person with the ability is not in a position of responsibility.
00:38:52That's how he says it.
00:38:53Do you do a fact check on that?
00:38:56Yes, we do.
00:38:57But if you look at it from a long-term perspective,
00:39:00for example, how many percent of women
00:39:02have to be in a certain position,
00:39:04it's not about the ability,
00:39:06but because of other factors.
00:39:08If there are people in a certain position,
00:39:10it's not about the ability.
00:39:12That's what he thinks.
00:39:14Here is another reason.
00:39:17The truth behind the conspiracy theory
00:39:20of the criminal organization USAID.
00:39:24First of all,
00:39:25the fact that tens of billions of dollars
00:39:27have been stolen from USAID
00:39:29and that most of the money
00:39:31has been used to publish articles
00:39:33that are not suitable for democracy
00:39:35has been criticized
00:39:37by the press.
00:39:39The press has criticized
00:39:41the political site Politico
00:39:43for not receiving any subsidies
00:39:45from the government.
00:39:47In the New York Times,
00:39:49they said that
00:39:51the government is receiving
00:39:53subsidies from the government
00:39:55and that NHK is receiving
00:39:57subsidies from the government
00:39:59in Japan as well.
00:40:01But they deny the fact
00:40:03that they are receiving
00:40:05subsidies from USAID.
00:40:07First of all,
00:40:09I would like you to tell us
00:40:11about this.
00:40:13Yes.
00:40:15For example,
00:40:17Politico is a news site
00:40:19that provides a lot of services
00:40:22to the US.
00:40:24But in reality,
00:40:26USAID provides money
00:40:28to journalists from overseas
00:40:30and overseas
00:40:32and to more than 6,000 journalists
00:40:34in Japan.
00:40:36They also provide money
00:40:38to groups and organizations
00:40:40in various countries
00:40:42and distribute money
00:40:44to those people.
00:40:46They provide education
00:40:48that can be used
00:40:50in various fields.
00:40:52In other words,
00:40:54they provide a lot of money
00:40:56to teach people
00:40:58about the policies
00:41:00of the Democratic Party.
00:41:02They provide a lot of money
00:41:04to write articles
00:41:06that are convenient
00:41:08for the Democratic Party.
00:41:10It's a little difficult
00:41:12to explain,
00:41:14but the media is giving
00:41:16a lot of money
00:41:19to the Democratic Party.
00:41:21You can find a lot of
00:41:23articles like this
00:41:25on the Internet.
00:41:27For example,
00:41:29Reuters is a very clear article.
00:41:31What does Reuters say
00:41:33in the article?
00:41:35They say they received money.
00:41:37BBC also wrote about it.
00:41:39I don't think
00:41:41it's a clear article.
00:41:43But I was surprised
00:41:45when I found out
00:41:47that they received a lot
00:41:49of money from the NPO.
00:41:51I was surprised
00:41:53when I found out
00:41:55the name of the NPO.

00:47:02You can see
00:47:04that they received a lot
00:47:06of money from the NPO.
00:47:08That's why the top
00:47:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:24Is that how it is?
00:47:26Well, of course it is, but that would be a problem.
00:47:28But there's one more thing.
00:47:30The Judiciary is another point.
00:47:32The Judiciary?
00:47:34They've changed everything there.
00:47:36The Judiciary?
00:47:38It's on top of the FBI.
00:47:40They've changed that too?
00:47:42The Judiciary Director is amazing.
00:47:44It's beautiful.
00:47:46Beautiful.
00:47:48It goes well with Trump, doesn't it?
00:47:50What do you think, Mr. Kahno?
00:47:52I'm talking about Mr. Amiga.
00:47:54The President,
00:47:56the CIA Director,
00:47:58the top of the Judiciary.
00:48:00It's only natural that they want people
00:48:02who are closer to them.
00:48:04It's only natural.
00:48:06There's a possibility that the CIA
00:48:08or the FBI will go berserk.
00:48:10They have a lot of power.
00:48:12Who was the first FBI Director?
00:48:14Hoover.
00:48:16He threatened the President.
00:48:18He threatened him.
00:48:20In other words,
00:48:22the scandal with President Kennedy
00:48:24and Marie Monroe.
00:48:26He threatened them all.
00:48:28He investigated the President's background
00:48:30and gathered information
00:48:32that he shouldn't have.
00:48:34Then he threatened them
00:48:36and took a lot of money.
00:48:38There's a history like that,
00:48:40so I think they're on guard.
00:48:42And the USAID.
00:48:44That was in 1961.
00:48:46So the US is on a cold war.
00:48:48I think it was an organization
00:48:50that was created
00:48:52to make friends with the West.
00:48:54It was an organization
00:48:56that was originally
00:48:58ideological.
00:49:00I think that's what's
00:49:02going on now.
00:49:04I think there was a root.
00:49:06It was created by the JFK,
00:49:08so it's coming from
00:49:10the Democratic Party.
00:49:12What's going to happen?
00:49:14It's a great story.
00:49:16I don't think it's possible
00:49:18in Japan.
00:49:20I think it's possible.
00:49:22But the President changed.
00:49:24The one on the right
00:49:26was on the left,
00:49:28and the one on the left
00:49:30was on the right.
00:49:32If you gather good people,
00:49:34it will work.
00:49:36They're going to aim
00:49:38for the next president.
00:49:40It's impossible in theory,
00:49:42but there's a possibility
00:49:44that it won't work.
00:49:46But I don't think it's a joke
00:49:48to make a legacy
00:49:50and win the Nobel Peace Prize
00:49:52in two years.
00:49:54Thank you very much.
00:49:56Here's the next one.
00:49:58Will the price of rice
00:50:00go down with Michikumae?
00:50:02We'll talk about it later.
00:50:06We're broadcasting
00:50:08Seigi no Mikata.
00:50:10Next, we have a reporter
00:50:12on the side of rice.
00:50:14Let's talk to her.
00:50:16She specializes in food safety
00:50:18and agricultural policy.
00:50:20She has experience in the
00:50:22Ministry of Agriculture,
00:50:24Forestry and Fisheries,
00:50:26and she's going to talk about
00:50:28food safety in Japan.
00:50:30Ms. Kazuhito Yamashita.
00:50:32Ms. Tomoko,
00:50:34you're going to buy rice
00:50:36at the supermarket.
00:50:38There's also news
00:50:40about Michikumae.
00:50:42Last summer,
00:50:44people couldn't buy rice at all
00:50:46and asked me to make
00:50:48Michikumae.
00:50:50But they said
00:50:52it's different here
00:50:54and it'll be fine later.
00:50:56Now, it's expensive
00:50:58but I'm going to make Michikumae.
00:51:00What's the standard?
00:51:02Will you make Michikumae
00:51:04every year?
00:51:06I'm curious.
00:51:08Ms. Yamashita,
00:51:10let's watch.
00:51:12How long
00:51:14will the rice crisis last?
00:51:16This is the price of rice.
00:51:18In December,
00:51:20the price of rice
00:51:22skyrocketed.
00:51:24It's the highest price
00:51:26in history.
00:51:28It's 1.6 times higher than last year.
00:51:30By the way, last September,
00:51:32the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries
00:51:34said it'll be fine
00:51:36if the price of rice stays the same.
00:51:38He said that.
00:51:40But he didn't make Michikumae.
00:51:42It's the highest price.
00:51:44Mr. Yamashita,
00:51:46what do you think?
00:51:48Last summer,
00:51:50the price of rice
00:51:52skyrocketed by 400,000 tons.
00:51:54The government said
00:51:56there's no shortage of rice.
00:51:58What do you think?
00:52:00First of all,
00:52:02the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries
00:52:04didn't make Michikumae.
00:52:06Why?
00:52:08Because if they did,
00:52:10the price of rice would go down.
00:52:12They didn't want that.
00:52:14400,000 tons of rice was not enough.
00:52:16The rice was sold out
00:52:18from the supermarkets.
00:52:20What happened then?
00:52:22In August and September,
00:52:24a new rice production
00:52:26started.
00:52:28They harvested
00:52:30and sold
00:52:32300,000 tons of rice
00:52:34in August and September.
00:52:36They harvested
00:52:38300,000 tons of rice in September
00:52:40and sold them
00:52:42for 400,000 tons
00:52:44in August and September.
00:52:46That means
00:52:48300,000 tons of rice
00:52:50was short of 400,000 tons.
00:52:52Despite that,
00:52:54they lied that
00:52:56the price would stay the same.
00:52:58400,000 tons of rice was not enough.
00:53:00In the first place,
00:53:02they harvested 400,000 tons of rice
00:53:04and sold them for 400,000 tons.
00:53:06Is that a lie?
00:53:08Didn't they know that?
00:53:10Well...
00:53:14It's a lie.
00:53:18I don't think
00:53:20the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries
00:53:22is that stupid.
00:53:24They don't want to reduce the price
00:53:26of rice.
00:53:28They don't want to admit
00:53:30the shortage of rice.
00:53:32That's why they lied
00:53:34that the rice was enough.
00:53:36They said
00:53:38it was safe.
00:53:40Here is the reason
00:53:42why the price of rice
00:53:44keeps rising.
00:53:46The reason why the price of rice
00:53:48keeps rising is
00:53:50because it's sold out.
00:53:52This is a question mark.
00:53:54In the first place,
00:53:56the amount of rice produced
00:53:58increased by 180,000 tons
00:54:00compared to the previous year.
00:54:02However,
00:54:04the amount of rice harvested
00:54:06decreased by 210,000 tons
00:54:08compared to the previous year.
00:54:10They harvested a lot of rice,
00:54:12but in the end,
00:54:14it decreased.
00:54:16Why?
00:54:18It became a hot topic
00:54:20that 210,000 tons
00:54:22of rice was stocked in Japan.
00:54:24On March 3rd,
00:54:26people who had never
00:54:28dealt with rice
00:54:30reported that they were
00:54:32investigating the issue.
00:54:34That's what they said.
00:54:36In the first place,
00:54:38this is strange.
00:54:40Even though the amount of rice
00:54:42increased by 180,000 tons,
00:54:44the amount of rice harvested
00:54:46decreased by 210,000 tons,
00:54:48which means
00:54:50the amount of rice harvested
00:54:52should be somewhere
00:54:54around 380,000 tons.
00:54:56380,000? 390,000?
00:54:58Yes, 390,000.
00:55:00So, the amount of rice harvested
00:55:02decreased by 210,000 tons,
00:55:04but the amount of rice harvested
00:55:06decreased by 390,000 tons.
00:55:08So, this is a question mark
00:55:10whether the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:55:12Forestry and Fisheries
00:55:14really calculated this.
00:55:16I don't think
00:55:18they did.
00:55:20I think someone
00:55:22is hiding it.
00:55:24The distributor
00:55:26is hiding it.
00:55:28May I explain it?
00:55:30There is a person
00:55:32who makes rice.
00:55:34He gives the rice to a
00:55:36large number of farmers.
00:55:38He is a farmer,
00:55:40and we buy the rice.
00:55:42But sometimes,
00:55:44the rice is bought
00:55:46by a new distributor.
00:55:48This time,
00:55:50the rice is stocked
00:55:52by a new distributor.
00:55:54A new distributor
00:55:56buys the rice
00:55:58from the producer
00:56:00and sells it
00:56:02when the price of the rice
00:56:04goes up.
00:56:06Does this mean that
00:56:08the rice is profitable?
00:56:10No.
00:56:12This is the opinion
00:56:14of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
00:56:16and Fisheries.
00:56:18In the 1980s,
00:56:2095% of the rice was stocked
00:56:22by a new distributor.
00:56:24Now,
00:56:26only 50% of the rice is stocked
00:56:28by a new distributor.
00:56:30So,
00:56:32the rice is stocked
00:56:34by a new distributor.
00:56:36The price of the rice
00:56:38goes up,
00:56:40so the distributor
00:56:42is hiding the truth.
00:56:44That's another story.
00:56:46I'm saying this,
00:56:48but the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:56:50Forestry and Fisheries
00:56:52hasn't confirmed this.
00:56:54Usually,
00:56:56it's a measure to
00:56:58confirm some facts.
00:57:00I see.
00:57:02But the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:57:04Forestry and Fisheries
00:57:06hasn't confirmed this.
00:57:08I just feel the presence.
00:57:10The Ministry of Agriculture,
00:57:12Forestry and Fisheries
00:57:14hasn't confirmed this.
00:57:16I just feel the presence.
00:57:18The Ministry of Agriculture,
00:57:20Forestry and Fisheries
00:57:22hasn't confirmed this.
00:57:24I just feel the presence.
00:57:26The Ministry of Agriculture,
00:57:28Forestry and Fisheries
00:57:30hasn't confirmed this.
00:57:32I just feel the presence.
00:57:34I just feel the presence.
00:57:36I just feel the presence.
00:57:38I thought you were talking about foreign goods.
00:57:40That's right.
00:57:42Mr. Earon Musk
00:57:44said the lies.
00:57:46He said,
00:57:48there are some foreign goods,
00:57:50but there are no facts.
00:57:52He said that
00:57:54there are some foreign goods,
00:57:56but there are no facts.
00:57:58There are some foreign goods,
00:58:00but there are no facts.
00:58:02That's what he said.
00:58:04That's what he said.
00:58:06This is the first time I've heard of this.
00:58:08The first time?
00:58:09This is a conspiracy theory.
00:58:10A conspiracy theory created by agricultural producers.
00:58:12Yes, that's right.
00:58:13The agricultural producers say that rice is enough, but the price has gone up because the distribution has decreased.
00:58:19And what you're saying is that the explanation of the agricultural producers is a blatant lie.
00:58:23You just don't want to admit that there's not enough rice.
00:58:26By the way, what is this picture?
00:58:29This is the warehouse for the government's stockpiling.
00:58:32This is only 20,000 tons.
00:58:34Only 20,000 tons of rice can be stored in this warehouse.
00:58:39Only 20,000 tons of rice can be stored in this warehouse.
00:58:43Where is it hidden?
00:58:45210,000 tons, 180,000 tons, 390,000 tons.
00:58:48Where is it hidden all over Japan?
00:58:51If it's such a big place, you'll be found out.
00:58:55That's what you're saying, right?
00:58:56That's right.
00:58:57That's why I'm saying there's no rice.
00:58:59And these people don't have that kind of money.
00:59:03It costs 100 million yen a year to store 10,000 tons of rice.
00:59:08They don't have it.
00:59:10If it's 210,000 tons, you have to pay 2.1 billion yen.
00:59:14I don't know if that's really possible.
00:59:16And one more thing.
00:59:18In 2008, there was an incident called the Osenmae Incident.
00:59:22Do you know that?
00:59:23A farmer sold mold-grown rice as bait.
00:59:28He just sold it as bait.
00:59:30The farmer washed the mold and sold it as a staple food.
00:59:35This was the trigger for the rice traceability law.
00:59:39In other words,
00:59:41From the producer to the harvester, the grower, the farmer, the farmer, the grower, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer, the farmer,
01:00:11I'm going to investigate!
01:00:15But when I watch the TV and the news, I think that the sellers are going to make money,
01:00:22and the harvester owners who have nothing to do with it, go directly and buy a lot,
01:00:27buy cheaply, and make a profit at a fleeting time, I thought that!
01:00:32This is a conspiracy theory that is being made in our country.
01:00:37Do you think that's a minority opinion?
01:00:42No, but if you think about it in a normal way,
01:00:45if you say that you're hiding the 210,000 tons,
01:00:48if you're actually reporting it,
01:00:51if you don't confirm it, you won't report it, right?
01:00:53Yes.
01:00:54That's why Japanese mass media...
01:00:56You have to ask questions.
01:00:57You have to ask questions.
01:00:58I see.
01:00:59But the people at the Norin Show press club
01:01:02have been hiding it for about a year or two,
01:01:04and it's been changing all the time.
01:01:06They're just reporting what the Norin Show is saying.
01:01:10Takahashi-sensei,
01:01:11you often talk about this kind of thing,
01:01:14but in the end, you're the one who's reporting
01:01:16what the Ministry of Finance is saying,
01:01:18and that's why you're writing it in the newspaper.
01:01:20People often say that.
01:01:22And the top people at the Norin Show
01:01:25don't know much about what they're saying,
01:01:27so they just write it as it is.
01:01:29Norin Show,
01:01:30is there enough rice?
01:01:31At times like this,
01:01:32the first part,
01:01:33the word,
01:01:34is usually suspicious.
01:01:36The way you say,
01:01:37is there enough rice?
01:01:38That's the suspicious part.
01:01:39If you look at the price,
01:01:40it's obvious that the supply is decreasing.
01:01:42In other words,
01:01:43in economics,
01:01:44demand and supply
01:01:45are determined by the price.
01:01:47So,
01:01:48when the price is going up,
01:01:50the demand is going up a lot,
01:01:52or the supply is going down,
01:01:53right?
01:01:54If you look at the demand,
01:01:55it's not a completely different story, right?
01:01:58So that's why
01:01:59it's normal to read it as the supply.
01:02:02I did it on this show, didn't I?
01:02:04In other words,
01:02:05in the past,
01:02:06the rice planting area was very low.
01:02:08The rice planting area was low,
01:02:09and the unit cost was a little higher,
01:02:11but basically it was low.
01:02:13So the production is decreasing.
01:02:14It's decreasing.
01:02:15That's why there's less rice.
01:02:16That's right,
01:02:17it's decreasing.
01:02:18If you think about it normally,
01:02:19I think it's decreasing.
01:02:20But it's a little strange
01:02:21to use a place that has nothing to do with it
01:02:22as a reason.
01:02:23It's strange.
01:02:24Why does the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries
01:02:25not want to recognize the shortage of rice?
01:02:26Please look at this.
01:02:27I don't want to reduce the price of rice,
01:02:29so let's reduce the rice crop
01:02:31and reduce the production of rice.
01:02:33That's why I want to continue
01:02:35this policy,
01:02:36according to the teacher.
01:02:38In 1970,
01:02:39the rice surplus for staple food
01:02:41was implemented
01:02:42to reduce the price of rice.
01:02:44Please change it to
01:02:46tensaku, wheat, or soybeans.
01:02:48I'll pay subsidies to the farmers.
01:02:50If you don't make rice,
01:02:51please make something else.
01:02:52In return,
01:02:53I'll back you up with subsidies.
01:02:55I'll reduce the production of rice
01:02:57and increase the price of rice.
01:02:59If it's not enough,
01:03:00I'll increase the price of rice
01:03:02by reducing the supply of rice.
01:03:04Let's maintain the price of rice
01:03:06high.
01:03:07In 2018,
01:03:08Abe Seikenji
01:03:09advocated the abolition of
01:03:11the staple food policy.
01:03:12However,
01:03:13the abolition of the staple food policy
01:03:14is a deception,
01:03:15according to the teacher.
01:03:16The content has not changed at all.
01:03:17If we reduce the production of rice
01:03:19and maintain the price of rice
01:03:21high,
01:03:22Chinese businesses will profit.
01:03:24Chinese businesses will benefit.
01:03:26Chinese businesses will benefit.
01:03:28Chinese businesses will benefit.
01:03:30First,
01:03:31there was a staple food policy.
01:03:33I advocated the abolition of the staple food policy
01:03:35to Abe Seikenji.
01:03:36The content has not changed at all.
01:03:38The staple food policy
01:03:40is to give subsidies to the farmers
01:03:42and reduce the production of rice
01:03:44by 3.5 billion yen every year.
01:03:46In other words,
01:03:48it is a policy to reduce the supply
01:03:50and maintain the price of rice
01:03:52by 3.5 billion yen every year.
01:03:54If we abolish the staple food policy
01:03:56as Abe Seikenji advocated,
01:03:58the price of rice will drop sharply.
01:04:00So,
01:04:01we should not participate in the TPP.
01:04:03Normally,
01:04:04there should be a big riot
01:04:06in Kasumigaseki and Nagata.
01:04:08There should be a big riot
01:04:10in Kasumigaseki and Nagata.
01:04:12However,
01:04:13at that time,
01:04:14no one had such a big riot.
01:04:16At that time,
01:04:17the Ministry of Agriculture,
01:04:18Forestry and Fisheries
01:04:19admitted that it was a lie.
01:04:21Lie?
01:04:22However,
01:04:23Mr. Abe used it
01:04:24for his own political gain.
01:04:26At that time,
01:04:27what he did was
01:04:28to increase the subsidy of the staple food policy.
01:04:30However,
01:04:31he only abolished the production target amount
01:04:33that the Ministry of Agriculture,
01:04:35Forestry and Fisheries
01:04:37notified to the farmers.
01:04:39So,
01:04:40he increased the subsidy of the staple food policy
01:04:42and abolished the production target amount.
01:04:45He said that he abolished the staple food policy.
01:04:48I see.
01:04:49However,
01:04:50the Ministry of Agriculture,
01:04:51Forestry and Fisheries
01:04:52indicated the production target amount
01:04:54every year.
01:04:55Based on that,

01:09:03There are fatherland rules in Japan
01:09:04to tell you all one by one.
01:09:07You should fill your bag and let the flocs to grow
01:09:09that's the basis of discipline well- learning.
01:09:11Sensei, what you're trying to say is that we should stop using coal to produce rice for export and use it for domestic rice shortage.
01:09:21If we stop using coal, we can produce 10 million tons of rice, but now we're reducing it to 6.5 million tons.
01:09:29So if we're exporting 3.5 million tons, even if we're short of 4 million tons this time, we can reduce 3.5 million tons to 4 million tons and export 3.1 million tons.
01:09:40It's the same everywhere. In the U.S. and the E.U., it's the same everywhere.
01:09:45So even in the U.S. and the E.U., there won't be a shortage of rice this time.
01:09:49This is a food law. You can't use rice that has been decided to be used for one purpose for other purposes.
01:09:53Another thing is subsidies. We will give subsidies to farmers for rice for export.
01:09:57There will be no subsidies for exporting rice for export to domestic markets, so we should get rid of this too, right?
01:10:04We were in trouble with the production of rice for export, so we made rice a production of rice for export.
01:10:09In other words, if you convert rice for export from rice for food, you can compensate for the price difference with subsidies for coal.
01:10:19So once you convert it to rice for export, you get subsidies, so you can't return it to the original food source.
01:10:24But as I said, if we stop using coal and reduce the price, we don't need this.
01:10:30In addition, this is a WTO-prohibited subsidy.
01:10:34It's a WTO-prohibited subsidy.
01:10:36I think it's a big problem that the Agriculture and Fisheries Commission started putting this in place.
01:10:40I did a lecture on GATT, but at that time, the E.U. subsidy was said to be an enemy of international trademarks.
01:10:49Japan, which was saying that, started putting in a subsidy.
01:10:54This is a big deal.
01:10:55In addition, if the U.S. condemns this, the U.S. will be able to raise the price of Japanese automobiles.
01:11:03That's why they started doing such a ridiculous thing.
01:11:06We have to change this too, but I'd like to hear more from Mr. Hongo.
01:11:12To give more money to farmers.
01:11:15Why don't you make rice like this?
01:11:18If it becomes a topic of rice again, I'll call you, so please come.
01:11:22Thank you very much for your time today.
