Proponents say this program is needed to address longstanding discrimination in USDA\u2019s lending, but farmers don\u2019t have to prove discrimination to receive a payment. Earlier this week, USDA released guidance on the program noting that women are excluded, unless they meet the race or ethnicity requirement, and foreign nationals are eligible, regardless of their immigration status.\n\nDuring today\u2019s segment, Rep. Scott also touched on the ongoing boycotts over Georgia\u2019s election reforms and China\u2019s increasing role in Central and South America, including their connection to cartels.\n\nClick here to watch Rep.
