      I am unable to follow his answer about cases where a mother's life is in danger from a pregnancy. He says those are extraordinarily rare, and that if you leave loopholes in the law, everyone will evade it. Also says something about that not being too hot a topic for legislation.

      Not having understood King's answer here, I don't want to mischaracterize it. But he certainly believes that 20% of the American population is missing due to abortion, reasserts his belief that life starts at the instant of fertilization.

      Next question is about commercial hemp! Iowa farmers want to grow it, it has high BTU (thermal) content per acre, is friendlier to the soil. Iowa allows 40 acre test plots for now, but no more. The farmer asking the question wants to know King's position on expanding hemp growing

      King explains that a problem with hemp is it is visually indistinguishable from THC-containing marijuana, and would mean de facto legalization, turning Iowa into Colorado. He doesn't want to go there yet. Promises questioner to look further into the issue of hemp as biofuel

      Hemp farmer won't give up easy. He explains high BTU content of hemp oil, that it's a less thirsty crop than corn. This leads to a discussion of ethanol; for every 100 bushels of corn grown in the United States, 38 go to ethanol production

      The next question is about King's stance on ag-gag laws. These are laws that prohibit the undercover photography of animal cruelty in concentrated feeding operations. Questioner is torn; he wouldn't let strangers skulk around his business, but some of the animal cruelty is awful

      King also deplores animal cruelty, but accuses the Humane Society of the United States of "trying to take the meat off our plate". Iowa is #1 in egg and pork production. People don't want California regulating Iowa meat, or telling Iowans how to make their ethanol

      "We have Californians going into our hen houses with measuring tape," King says. Sees the attempts by California and other states at enforcing certain production methods as an unconstitutional violation of the interstate commerce clause.

      Next question is by a wind farmer. Many Iowa farmers put up a wind turbine on their land, it pays tens of thousands to the farmer, and same in taxes. Asks for Kings's support for that, and solar. King again explains the difficulty of talking to Trump about renewable energy.

      Can someone ask whether he thinks the president’s 15-flush toilets indicate that (1) he’s dangerously delusional or (2) his colon is about to explode

      I disagree with the President on nearly every issue, but 100% have his back on the multi-flush toilets
