start asking with all that we know 41 00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,920 about places like walmart that become 42 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:47,759 the one-stop shop for multinational 43 00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:50,159 subpar products or corporate chain 44 00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:52,159 restaurants serving preservative-packed 45 00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,399 calorie loaded meals shipped by freezer 46 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:55,920 truck from one side of the country to 47 00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,960 the other 48 00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:59,280 why do we allow these places to hoover 49 00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:01,280 up all of our purchasing power when none 50 00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:02,880 of their products come from our local 51 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,200 communities and none of our neighbors 52 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,119 unfortunate enough to be stuck working 53 00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,599 there are paid a living wage 54 00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,680 it's the ultimate example of

country lives in 58 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,720 drive-thru dominated food deserts but 59 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:22,800 the answer is pretty clear 60 00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:25,520 we do not allow our capital to circulate 61 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:28,239 locally we fail to provide a supportive 62 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,160 customer base for anyone who takes the 63 00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:32,080 chance to start a small business and we 64 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,160 end up with a thousand plastic things 65 00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,239 made in china owned by the same five 66 00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,400 companies a food culture with no 67 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,560 nutritional value that is slowly killing 68 00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:42,879 us and a capstone cabal of gates and 69 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:44,800 schwab foot soldiers that are more than 70 00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:47,519 willing to exacerbate our problems 71 00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:50,800 toxic dyes pesticides factory

00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:56,880 reasons i left was because the 159 00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:59,199 agricultural debacle that happened in 160 00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,000 the 80s killed my small town 161 00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,240 so here i am a teenager wanting to live 162 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:06,479 life and basically stay on the farm 163 00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:08,560 basically you know be the cowboy be the 164 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,319 rancher that you know i always wanted to 165 00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,160 be but i had to escape the small town 166 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,840 and i went to austin 167 00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:15,840 ended up in austin with about you know 168 00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:18,960 120 in my pocket by the time i got there 169 00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,680 and i was 19 years old and you know i 170 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,120 didn't have an education i wasn't 171 00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:25,520 formally educated didn't have the money 172 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:28,080 our family was pretty much poor the land 173 00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:30,160 was gone in which my grandfather 174 00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:33,120 stewarded ever since you know the 1920s 175 00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:34,479 i would say 176 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:37,919 and before that his parents it started 177 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,880 but what i did is i fell into technology 178 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:42,560 and throughout the years you know i 179 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:44,960 became a research analyst and so about 180 00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,039 three years ago you know saying that i 181 00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:49,280 was i was a cowboy well i got beat up 182 00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:51,120 pretty good as far as 183 00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,600 i had a injury not beat up by somebody 184 00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:55,360 but just work and stuff like that i had 185 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,960 an internal injury and i had to look at 186 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,639 food again and i wanted to kind of 187 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:00,720 rebuild myself and so 188 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,919 i dove down and i started getting into 189 00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:05,759 food intelligence and i used a lot of 190 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,160 research skills and i started i knew 191 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:10,160 there was problems you know but a lot of 192 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:12,960 people don't know where the problem is 193 00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:15,440 and so i did a deep dive in and i 194 00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:17,199 created this hashtag about food 195 00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:18,800 intelligence it was probably about a 196 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:20,400 year and a half ago but i've been on the 197 00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,360 road 198 00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:23,280 i've been studying things as far as 199 00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:24,479 industry 200 00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:26,720 community food programs 201 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:29,199 public

00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:37,039 pretty scary and what i know now is that 206 00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:38,720 we're going through a global industrial 207 00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:40,080 food shift 208 00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,599 and how they're going to orchestrate it 209 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,599 and how they've already orchestrated and 210 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,360 basically the hundreds of millions of 211 00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:47,199 dollars and hundreds of billions of 212 00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:49,440 dollars really that have been spent 213 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:52,080 to basically do this food shift and so i 214 00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,759 knew that i had to you know kind of tell 215 00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:55,680 what the problem was but i also had to 216 00:07:59,270 --> 00:07:57,280 create a solution 217 00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,280 and that solution comes back to kind of 218 00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:01,759 how i was i was raised was a 219 00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,240 decentralized food system a peer-to-peer 220 00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:06,080 transactional system 221 00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:07,520 and something that was based on 222 00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,000 community programs instead of you know a 223 00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,400 global industrial food complex 224 00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:14,080 so that's kind of like the quick and the 225 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,680 short of it but you know we can go 226 00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:17,919 deeper into it from there 227 00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,160 i love it and going deeper is the name 228 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,240 of the game i've heard you reference 229 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:24,400 your grandfather in previous interviews 230 00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,720 and referenced the history of ranchers 231 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:28,879 in america even saying they've been 232 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:32,159 under attack since 1878 right on up to 233 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:33,120 today 234 00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:35,360 and you mentioned the economic debacle 235 00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:38,000 that happened in the 80s well maybe you 236 00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:40,240 could elaborate a bit on some of the 237 00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:42,399 elements of this important history that 238 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,120 people either might not know or might 239 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,680 just not truly understand the effects of 240 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,200 and at least for the economic front 241 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,040 maybe even some possible solves that you 242 00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:53,360 guys are working on 243 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:55,680 you know i i talk a lot about bitcoin 244 00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:58,000 and we leverage bitcoin as a tool and a 245 00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:59,839 lot of people that understand bitcoin to 246 00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:01,519 the level that they need to 247 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,440 you know a lot of things that we refer 248 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,519 to and i'll just start with this is 249 00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,200 whenever we went off the gold standard 250 00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:08,959 in 1971 251 00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:11,839 we de-based our dollar right well what 252 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:14,080 happened with that if you debase your 253 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:15,279 dollar 254 00:09:19,150 --> 00:09:17,440 you de-base everything around it and we 255 00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:19,160 debased our food supplier our 256 00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:21,200 agricultural industry in the united 257 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,160 states was dramatically debased at that 258 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,080 same time 259 00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,800 we evolved into a debt economy instead 260 00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:30,720 of something that was backed by some 261 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:32,640 hard money which was gold 262 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:35,519 and whenever we did that in the 1970s we 263 00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,360 changed how we basically farm and 264 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:39,680 ranched in the united states you had a 265 00:09:43,590 --> 00:09:42,080 guy named eric butts he was in the nixon 266 00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:43,600 administration 267 00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:45,440 he basically is quoted as saying hey 268 00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:47,200 you're going to go big or go home we're 269 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,200 going fence to fence with our crops now 270 00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:50,640 and that's when we started model 271 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:51,680 cropping 272 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:53,360 and he used this slogan as like we're 273 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:55,040 going to feed the world 274 00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:57,200 and what he meant by that is that hey 275 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:58,959 our dollar is debased we got to make 276 00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:01,200 some new profits within our agricultural 277 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:03,200 system and so we're going to use all 278 00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:05,200 these new chemicals and these new types 279 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,040 of seeds and these new types of farming 280 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:09,360 and ranching to where we can make higher 281 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:11,760 yields and we can actually feed more 282 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,680 people across the world 283 00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:16,399 but by saying that we squeezed out 284 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:19,279 basically our agricultural industry that 285 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,959 had been exploited 286 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:22,720 you know especially in the last 100 287 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:25,360 years it was exploited during the 1920s 288 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:27,120 of course with wheat and then that led 289 00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:28,640 to the dust bowl 290 00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:31,120 but in the 1970s we got exploited 291 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:32,800 dramatically because we really started 292 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,279 introducing chemicals herbicides 293 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:38,079 pesticides genetically modified seeds 294 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,120 into our 295 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:41,519 agricultural system and by the time we 296 00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,160 got to the 80s we had farm aid 297 00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:45,760 and that's when we really started you 298 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:47,760 know a lot of people were liquidating at 299 00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:49,760 that time because we were going through 300 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:51,680 basically a kind of a monetary reset 301 00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:53,440 because we were really adopting that 302 00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:54,880 debt economy 303 00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:56,959 and so that hit the agricultural world 304 00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:58,640 really hard you had you know willie 305 00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:00,800 nelson singing farming you know you had 306 00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:03,760 the savings and loan debacle of the 80s 307 00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:05,519 well that was a direct result of us 308 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:08,079 going off the gold standard in the 70s 309 00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:11,760 and why we did that and when we did that 310 00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,160 we were changing basically the history 311 00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:15,920 of farming and ranching in the united 312 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,920 states to where we started introducing 313 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:20,000 what i call fake commodities into our 314 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:21,839 consumption models 315 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:23,519 and stuff like you know you started 316 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,120 getting the seed oils you started 317 00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,040 getting rapeseed we started playing 318 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:29,040 around with soybeans more we started 319 00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:30,640 doing all kinds of different 320 00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:33,600 manipulations and injecting them into 321 00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:35,760 processed foods and we got very good at 322 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,360 processing food 323 00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:39,040 and so you had this industrial food 324 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:40,800 shift that happened back then and we're 325 00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:47,750 that is a really great summary of a 326 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,279 multi-decades-long 327 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:51,519 problem and let's elaborate on the 328 00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:53,040 bitcoin thing because that might have 329 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:55,040 sounded a little out of left field for 330 00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:57,279 some people i know you are good friends 331 00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:59,120 with adam curry i was lucky enough to 332 00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:01,440 have him on here not long ago talking 333 00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:04,880 about podcasting 2.0 and value for value 334 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,839 and i often hear you talking about sound 335 00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:09,440 food sound money and sound 336 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:11,920 communications as well as following the 337 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:15,360 bitcoin ethos as much as you can what is 338 00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:17,839 that ethos and what can you say to help 339 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,079 people see the connection between 340 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,800 bitcoin and what you're doing with beef 341 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:25,040 sure there's a lot of ways you look at 342 00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:26,880 it right the way i look at it from my 343 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:29,040 perspective as far as being you know the 344 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:30,880 founder of the beef initiative ranching 345 00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,519 agricultural food land 346 00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:35,360 cows everything 347 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:37,519 one thing that i always like to say 348 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,240 i think in i was the same way in bitcoin 349 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:42,240 it's like i looked at it the wrong way 350 00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:43,760 you know you compare it to what do you 351 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:46,079 compare it to oh the stock market or you 352 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,920 compare it to the cryptocurrency 353 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:49,920 coins you compare it to so many 354 00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:51,279 different things what a lot of people 355 00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:52,800 don't understand that they should really 356 00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:54,959 look at it from the very beginning 357 00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:57,920 is the decentralized aspect of that 358 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,480 whenever i was in big tech and doing 359 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,639 research and analysis what i was first 360 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:05,200 was a networker a computer networker so 361 00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:08,399 i understand what decentralization means 362 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:10,320 and whenever you have a currency that is 363 00:13:16,350 --> 00:13:13,920 basically mined as bitcoin is as far as 364 00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:16,360 how it is created it's created in a 365 00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:18,639 decentralized way but it's also 366 00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:21,720 validated every 10 minutes on the blog 367 00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:24,800 tiktoknexblock they say so what it is is 368 00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:27,680 it's a type of currency that we've never 369 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,800 seen for is man because it actually does 370 00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:32,399 store value 371 00:13:39,509 --> 00:13:35,920 it does have transactional capabilities 372 00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:39,519 it does fight inflation it is a tool it 373 00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:42,800 is a protocol it is open sourced it is 374 00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:45,360 free to build on there's so many things 375 00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:46,959 that people really don't look at it 376 00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:48,240 because they're looking at it and 377 00:13:51,190 --> 00:13:50,320 comparing it to something like amazon or 378 00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:51,200 apple 379 00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:53,440 and it's just not and so i try to lay 380 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,440 that groundwork of really understanding 381 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:57,360 what a store value is in our life 382 00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,240 anymore what is money you know what is 383 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,560 sound money and if everybody looks at 384 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:04,160 the united states dollar right now and 385 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,680 says it's a good form of money then 386 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:07,360 they're not paying attention to how much 387 00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:09,600 they actually lost of their time spent 388 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:10,480 working 389 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,959 the last let's say three years 390 00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:15,040 and so you look out you know we're going 391 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:17,440 through hyperinflation at this time 392 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:19,680 well you can look at bitcoin as 393 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:21,760 basically a store of value that will 394 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:24,160 fight hyperinflation and it's happening 395 00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,079 right in front of us right now 396 00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,000 and people say well it's too volatile no 397 00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:30,240 it's not volatile it's gone up 100 398 00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:31,199 percent 399 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,000 it's lifespan for the last 11 years and 400 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,320 then i use the comparison of saying well 401 00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:38,240 you want to look at volatility 402 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,240 you know i was in big tech i was in dot 403 00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:42,800 com boom days i was younger and i was in 404 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:44,959 innovation at that time and you don't 405 00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:46,800 talk volatility how about amazon 406 00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:49,199 crashing over 80 percent over 407 00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:51,120 nine times in its history that's 408 00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:52,240 volatile 409 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:54,399 and you look at a stock like apple where 410 00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:55,920 you couldn't even trade for it it was 411 00:14:59,910 --> 00:14:58,399 against the law in massachusetts to buy 412 00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:59,920 apple stock 413 00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:01,279 you know you've looked at the stock 414 00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:03,680 market you look at our financial systems 415 00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:05,839 and bitcoin a lot of people don't 416 00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:07,600 understand it because it gets a bad rap 417 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:08,880 because what they're doing is they're 418 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,040 doing a prohibition of really 419 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:13,360 understanding what bitcoin is because it 420 00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:15,760 is a decentralized currency that has a 421 00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:18,240 store of value that we've never seen 422 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:19,839 in a digital form 423 00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:22,320 and you know you look at my grandfather 424 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:24,800 he understood what bitcoin was he just 425 00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:26,720 didn't have it he understood what a 426 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:29,519 store of value was and he had that store 427 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:31,279 of value in his land 428 00:15:35,590 --> 00:15:33,920 and the cattle itself well that land and 429 00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:35,600 the cattle itself is not a store of 430 00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:37,040 value anymore 431 00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,880 and it's been leveraged in a way to 432 00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:41,199 where it's more of a you know a tool 433 00:15:45,750 --> 00:15:43,040 that gets used against us with 434 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:45,760 hyperinflation with taxation with asset 435 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:47,279 reallocation 436 00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:49,120 and bitcoin is going to be a tool in the 437 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:51,279 future that we can really leverage for 438 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,519 our agricultural world as far as those 439 00:15:57,710 --> 00:15:55,120 farmers and ranchers 440 00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:57,720 not having a store of value or having a 441 00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,480 decentralized tool that they don't have 442 00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:02,079 to report 443 00:16:06,069 --> 00:16:03,839 bitcoin is property and that's what 444 00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:06,079 people don't understand it's a ledger 445 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,240 that's all it is and so if you have 446 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:10,079 property that you can leverage against 447 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,480 hyperinflation and gets taxation that's 448 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:14,320 you know that is basically is 449 00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,839 hyperinflation 450 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:17,839 then you can have a tool that is open 451 00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,680 sourced it's not something that you have 452 00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:21,440 to go out and buy for them you don't 453 00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:23,279 have to have a financial advisor you 454 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:24,800 don't have all these centralized 455 00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,199 apparatuses kind of telling you how you 456 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,360 should run your farm in your ranch you 457 00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:31,440 the rancher get to do it just like your 458 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:34,639 ancestors did community based open 459 00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:38,399 sourced crowdfunded crowdsourced and 460 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,160 it's a trial and error you know we go 461 00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:41,839 through adoption 462 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:43,839 and even within this year 463 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:45,600 you know in the beef initiative we've 464 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:47,920 got ranchers now that are earning 465 00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:50,480 bitcoin they're storing it they're using 466 00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:53,040 at a store of value and they're growing 467 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:54,560 their ranches 468 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,880 by doing that because they're fighting 469 00:17:01,670 --> 00:16:59,199 inflation their beef prices are actually 470 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,680 going down as beef prices in the 471 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:03,600 supermarkets are going up 472 00:17:07,669 --> 00:17:05,280 and they're using bitcoin to leverage 473 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:07,679 that type of price manipulation to where 474 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:09,120 they can have that store of value and 475 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:10,720 they can grow their herds instead of 476 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:12,640 liquidate their herds 477 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,240 and so it's a learning experience 478 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:15,919 there's education involved but i mean 479 00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:19,039 we've evolved very fast right on that's 480 00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,600 a great pitch and you have proof of work 481 00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:24,240 in the ranchers already doing it and i 482 00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:26,079 definitely want this to be way more 483 00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:29,200 about beef than bitcoin it is and that's 484 00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:31,039 what i'd like to say too really off the 485 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:33,120 bat not to interrupt you this is about 486 00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:35,120 beef this is about saving the american 487 00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:37,679 rancher bitcoin is nothing but a tool 488 00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:40,000 just like a screwdriver or a hammer and 489 00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:42,320 that's something to be very clarify of 490 00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:44,160 up front this is not about shilling 491 00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:45,919 bitcoin this is about really getting 492 00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:47,679 awareness what is going on with our 493 00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:49,679 american rancher what's going on with 494 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:51,840 our food supply our nutrition and you 495 00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:53,760 know what we can do to save them 496 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:56,480 yes yes and it is about giving 497 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,400 people an option i mean i'm not a 498 00:18:01,990 --> 00:18:00,160 bitcoin skeptic i've been using it since 499 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,000 like 2014 500 00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:03,840 but there are people who say to me well 501 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:05,840 this is a ploy to onboard us into a 502 00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:07,679 central bank digital currency into that 503 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,080 i say well then don't use that just use 504 00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:12,320 bitcoin and then you won't get onboarded 505 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:15,600 into some other thing yeah and you know 506 00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:18,000 people worry about bitcoin's reliance on 507 00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,000 the grid and there being no physical 508 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:22,799 cash aspect to it i kind of understand 509 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,480 that but hey if the grid goes down you 510 00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:26,240 think your bank account's safe there's 511 00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:28,080 going to be a lot of problems if the 512 00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,760 grid goes down so 513 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,200 i don't know and then that's also 514 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:33,600 probably a temporary 515 00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:35,679 concern that is 516 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:37,039 i don't know how realistic it is 517 00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:39,039 honestly i do think that maybe when the 518 00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:41,520 world economic forum says their 519 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:43,600 concerned about a cyber pandemic that 520 00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:45,280 could be in the cards but 521 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:47,760 look the the canadian trucker protests 522 00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:50,080 should be all we have to cite to explain 523 00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:53,039 the need for a permissionless anonymous 524 00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:54,640 payment system 525 00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,720 100 percent and you know once again 526 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:58,559 people compare and comparison is the 527 00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:00,799 thief of joy and happiness and basically 528 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:02,160 progress 529 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:04,559 and so whenever you compared you know 530 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:06,160 something like bitcoin to the grid going 531 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:07,840 down well the grid's down you need to be 532 00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:09,919 worried about somebody else instead of 533 00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:11,919 just the you know or something else 534 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:14,000 being the major issue in life 535 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:15,600 and you know that's where perspective 536 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,200 comes in and you gotta lay that 537 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:19,679 groundwork of perspective 538 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:21,840 and you know you can compare and you can 539 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:24,080 look at things to say well what if well 540 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,440 what if well 541 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:27,600 what about how about this is actually 542 00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:29,120 truly happening 543 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:31,600 this is the fact of the matter right now 544 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:33,360 and this is the tools that you have at 545 00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:35,280 your availability that you should 546 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,039 probably be paying attention to instead 547 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:39,360 of the deceptions and all the propaganda 548 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:42,480 and the fear porn that are out there 549 00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:45,200 well said and so let's talk about the 550 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:47,919 need for the beef initiative we've both 551 00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:50,480 used the term war on meat a little bit 552 00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:51,520 lately 553 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,000 and yet i know so many people who think 554 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:56,400 that's hyperbole or they just don't see 555 00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:59,360 any evidence of it and the problems that 556 00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:01,520 have been in our food supply chain for 557 00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:03,919 the past couple decades that's one thing 558 00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:06,640 but help people understand that this is 559 00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:09,360 seriously ramping up there is a level 560 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:11,919 change going on here and what would you 561 00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:14,640 cite for evidence that it is happening 562 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:16,720 and they need to open their eyes 563 00:20:20,150 --> 00:20:17,679 sure 564 00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:20,160 when we say there's a war on meat people 565 00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:21,440 think that they're going to get rid of 566 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:23,360 the cow they're not getting rid of the 567 00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:25,200 cow they're going to eliminate your 568 00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:27,679 market access to that cow 569 00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:29,760 to the common man 570 00:20:33,909 --> 00:20:31,440 and how they're going to do that is 571 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:33,919 basically interject and inject a new 572 00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:36,159 fake commodity into the food system like 573 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:37,840 they've already done 574 00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:40,480 many many times over and so when you 575 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:42,640 look at the war on meat it's a 576 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:44,320 psychological war 577 00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:45,679 it's something that they've been 578 00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,679 planning for a long time they've tried 579 00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:49,280 to do it before they've been doing it 580 00:20:54,549 --> 00:20:51,919 for a long time in this country 581 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:54,559 and people can look at it and you 582 00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:56,480 they have a sense of complacency like 583 00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:58,880 you say because it's always there it's 584 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:01,600 readily available yeah meat prices go up 585 00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:03,200 and down but they don't understand the 586 00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:04,159 global 587 00:21:08,549 --> 00:21:06,799 beef industry and who controls that 588 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:08,559 and so whenever you say a war on meat 589 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:10,799 well they have basically 590 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:13,360 labeled the cow as the carbon hazard now 591 00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:16,559 you know the wef the imf the united 592 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:17,679 nations 593 00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:19,120 they're saying that it's bad for the 594 00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:21,200 climate one that's the biggest lie that 595 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:22,880 they can perpetuate and they're gonna 596 00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:25,200 say it's causing climate change 597 00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:27,440 another psy up right there which is 598 00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,760 complete basically 599 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:31,600 and so whenever you look at how they're 600 00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:34,240 leveraging against the cow as far as the 601 00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:37,840 understanding of livestock overall you 602 00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:39,919 can tell that basically what they're 603 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:42,720 doing is they're designing this new fake 604 00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:44,799 commodity that they're injecting into 605 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:46,240 the food supply 606 00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:48,720 and so you look at right now 607 00:21:52,470 --> 00:21:50,240 everything that's going on i think i 608 00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:52,480 said on adam's show last october or 609 00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:55,360 november i said you know they're going 610 00:21:59,909 --> 00:21:57,679 to basically have a global marketing 611 00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:59,919 plan around fake meat well that's here 612 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,280 we're seeing it 613 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:03,120 and then they're gonna do something else 614 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:04,400 well what's that well now they're 615 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:06,240 talking about bugs of course and 616 00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:07,840 everybody looks at it and say well i'm 617 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:10,240 not gonna eat those damn bugs well i'm 618 00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:12,000 not gonna eat that fake steak well 619 00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:13,760 that's not what they're that's the 620 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,760 distraction and that's what people can't 621 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,120 understand 622 00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:18,960 and what they're doing here is they're 623 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:20,720 making you look at like saying well 624 00:22:25,350 --> 00:22:23,280 you're gonna buy steaks that are 3d 625 00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:25,360 printed or stem cell or you're going to 626 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,760 buy burgers that are pea protein or soy 627 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,520 protein and bugs 628 00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:31,440 and no you're probably not going to but 629 00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:32,720 you know you're still eating those 630 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:34,320 chicken tendies and you're still eating 631 00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:35,840 those pizza pockets and you're still 632 00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:37,760 eating restaurant food and you're still 633 00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:40,159 eating all that industrial food guess 634 00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:42,400 what that's going to be cricket dust 635 00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:44,400 that is the new fake commodity that 636 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,880 they're injecting into the food supply 637 00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:48,240 they don't even have to tell you that 638 00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:50,240 they're doing it and what's going to be 639 00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:52,559 absent in that food is going to be pure 640 00:22:56,950 --> 00:22:54,640 animal protein and they're basically 641 00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:56,960 going to take the pure animal protein 642 00:23:01,669 --> 00:22:59,039 out of our consumption models 643 00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,679 especially in the western countries 644 00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:03,840 and where's all that beef going to go 645 00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:05,600 well the beef is going to be sold to the 646 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,679 highest bidder on the global market 647 00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:09,840 we're still going to produce tons and 648 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,799 tons and hundreds of tons of beef 649 00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,159 you're just not going to have market 650 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:15,600 access because they're going to turn 651 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:17,919 beef into caviar and they're going to 652 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:21,520 price it out of the common man's budget 653 00:23:25,669 --> 00:23:23,280 the common man's gonna say well i'll 654 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:25,679 just have to consume something else 655 00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:28,320 and that is the plan to have to do that 656 00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:30,400 well who's driving that well you've got 657 00:23:35,669 --> 00:23:32,559 the the packers and the processors we 658 00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:35,679 have four major global packer processors 659 00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:37,360 national tyson 660 00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:38,960 and cargill 661 00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:40,799 and basically let's look at somebody 662 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:44,559 like jbs well they basically are one of 663 00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:46,720 the biggest investors in new processing 664 00:23:51,270 --> 00:23:49,520 centers that take the cow or the animal 665 00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:51,280 out of the processing center and 666 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:52,880 basically process this new fake 667 00:23:56,549 --> 00:23:54,080 commodity 668 00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:56,559 that's just kind of a good general over 669 00:24:01,190 --> 00:23:58,880 you know study of that and how that you 670 00:24:03,270 --> 00:24:01,200 need to look at how they're actually 671 00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:03,280 there is the war on meat but it 672 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:05,600 basically is got world-class marketing 673 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,520 behind it plus it has world-class 674 00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:09,600 deception that we've already been seeing 675 00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:12,159 the last 50 years when they are putting 676 00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:15,600 all this fake commodity into our food 677 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,679 systems that we all consume because we 678 00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:19,919 don't understand the labeling laws how 679 00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:21,919 they've changed and how they can sneak 680 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:23,520 this stuff into our food supplies 681 00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:25,440 without us even knowing it and they'll 682 00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:27,600 say hey this is saving the planet this 683 00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:29,279 is healthy for you this is what little 684 00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:31,360 johnny needs and they'll say hey it's 685 00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:33,200 got 14 grams of protein but it really 686 00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:35,520 doesn't and you know it's loaded with 687 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:36,640 garbage 688 00:24:41,110 --> 00:24:38,400 and that's why people need to start 689 00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:41,120 looking at this it's commoditized it's 690 00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:43,520 subsidized and you are paying the price 691 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:46,960 nutritionally and in the pocketbook yes 692 00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:49,840 yes and i really love that you make that 693 00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:52,480 point about those folks who say well i'm 694 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,600 not eating the bugs or the 3d printed 695 00:24:58,950 --> 00:24:57,120 steak but 696 00:25:02,390 --> 00:24:58,960 you know as you've said this is nothing 697 00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:02,400 new almost 90 of americans are obese or 698 00:25:08,230 --> 00:25:05,520 overweight and many of us already eat so 699 00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:08,240 many factory products like chips and 700 00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:09,679 crackers and 701 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:12,520 plastic packaged products full of 702 00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:15,440 hydrogenated soybean oil and 703 00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:17,440 all kinds of meat binders and high 704 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:19,679 fructose corn syrup so when they put 705 00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:21,840 insect powder in it is that really going 706 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,000 to be your line in the sand i mean come 707 00:25:27,909 --> 00:25:26,240 on if they make it taste good most 708 00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:27,919 people are just going to go along with 709 00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:29,039 it 710 00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:31,600 of course they are they've proven that 711 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:33,840 and as you point out you know how have 712 00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:35,520 they proven it well our consumption 713 00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:36,720 model has led us to where we're 714 00:25:40,870 --> 00:25:39,360 metabolically bankrupt and this is a 715 00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:40,880 short period of time that they've done 716 00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:41,760 this 717 00:25:46,149 --> 00:25:42,960 you know everybody's looked at the 718 00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:46,159 pictures of the beach in 1969 and 1970 719 00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:48,159 and then you look at the beach now 720 00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:50,159 man you can't compare man you can't even 721 00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:52,640 look at it without saying there's an 722 00:25:57,110 --> 00:25:55,120 issue here well how did we get there 723 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:57,120 well it's exactly what we've just been 724 00:26:01,750 --> 00:25:59,440 talking about the last 20 minutes 725 00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:01,760 and it's happening and what sucks about 726 00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:03,679 it is it takes you to look at the 727 00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,000 accountability mirror it's not a 728 00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:08,400 judgment man this is just an observation 729 00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:10,720 is based on some real freaking facts 730 00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:12,880 that we need to change our consumer 731 00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:13,919 demand 732 00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:16,000 to something different that has been 733 00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:18,960 chemically engineered to taste good and 734 00:26:23,029 --> 00:26:21,120 to make our body treat it like it's a 735 00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:23,039 drug and that we have to have that next 736 00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:29,190 and in terms of the bug thing and just 737 00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:30,880 retooling 738 00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:33,360 all the processing plants i think i 739 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:35,279 heard adam curry mention this and it was 740 00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:37,120 really concerning and i think he heard 741 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:38,480 it from you 742 00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:40,080 but apparently 743 00:26:45,269 --> 00:26:42,080 the food processing plants in america 744 00:26:47,669 --> 00:26:45,279 are already retooling and restructuring 745 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:47,679 for the franken meat and insect based 746 00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:48,880 products 747 00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:51,520 so it really is full steam ahead on this 748 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:53,679 stuff because once the plants switch 749 00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:55,840 over their processes and change their 750 00:27:01,510 --> 00:26:58,400 systems they're probably not going back 751 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,520 are we really seeing that already 752 00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:03,840 yeah on the industrial level whenever i 753 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:06,320 say a global industrial food shift right 754 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,600 what does that mean 755 00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:09,440 people don't understand what that means 756 00:27:14,870 --> 00:27:12,320 and well it's an industrial shift 757 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:14,880 all the equipment all the technology all 758 00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:17,440 the product everything involved from the 759 00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:19,200 blueprint up 760 00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:21,840 changes and you know everybody i get all 761 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:24,400 the the conspiracies coming at me every 762 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:25,200 day 763 00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,880 you know 30 something how many 764 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:28,720 processing plants have gone up in fire 765 00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:31,360 right right well the way i look at it 766 00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:33,760 and this is my subjective observation is 767 00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:35,520 that you know this is a good excuse for 768 00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:37,760 them to say well during covid we 769 00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:39,760 couldn't employ enough people these 770 00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:42,320 became unsafe and they always use the 771 00:27:46,390 --> 00:27:44,320 ploy of we're going to keep you safer 772 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:46,400 you're going to make your food safer 773 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:47,679 and we're going to do something to your 774 00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:49,919 food where you can have more confidence 775 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:51,440 you know that's what they always do in 776 00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:54,240 the general mindset of the public 777 00:27:58,230 --> 00:27:56,080 so what i see is that in global 778 00:28:00,710 --> 00:27:58,240 industrial food shift basically they 779 00:28:03,029 --> 00:28:00,720 they're taking the animal and the soil 780 00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:03,039 out of the processing plants 781 00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:05,520 and whenever you have somebody like jbs 782 00:28:09,669 --> 00:28:07,760 cargill national and tyson the ones that 783 00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:09,679 are in charge of processing your meat 784 00:28:14,549 --> 00:28:12,080 proteins and they're some of the biggest 785 00:28:16,870 --> 00:28:14,559 investors in the new processing centers 786 00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:16,880 that are coming they're basically 787 00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:18,559 writing on the walls saying we're not 788 00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,039 going to process as much meat 789 00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:22,720 and especially whenever they're in the 790 00:28:26,389 --> 00:28:24,880 united states that means 791 00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,399 you're local you go 792 00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:28,399 you drive through arkansas man you want 793 00:28:33,350 --> 00:28:30,640 to see some processing centers going up 794 00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:33,360 that feed walmart every one of them none 795 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:35,200 of them have anything to do with animal 796 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,399 protein 797 00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:38,640 and so you take the technology you 798 00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:40,640 advance the technology you build it out 799 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:42,000 with a debt 800 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:44,720 that basically has no value they got 801 00:28:49,350 --> 00:28:47,120 unlimited amount of money to basically 802 00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:49,360 transition out of this food consumption 803 00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:51,760 model which is already damaged and 804 00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:53,039 destroyed 805 00:28:57,190 --> 00:28:54,799 and all they're going to do is basically 806 00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,200 stack it on a new layer of debt of 807 00:29:01,269 --> 00:28:59,120 course but actually of that fake 808 00:29:03,430 --> 00:29:01,279 commodity and so you can't argue the 809 00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:03,440 fact that is what exactly is taking 810 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:04,399 place 811 00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:06,720 i mean they have invested hundreds of 812 00:29:09,990 --> 00:29:09,120 millions of dollars billions of dollars 813 00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,000 really 814 00:29:14,389 --> 00:29:12,320 in the last 10 years this is just not 815 00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:14,399 something that was just thought up 816 00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:16,000 and there's been four major 817 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:18,240 consolidations on the global scale of 818 00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:19,840 corporations 819 00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:20,880 food 820 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:24,080 corporations the last one was 2017 and 821 00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:25,360 18 and that's when they got their 822 00:29:28,870 --> 00:29:26,799 marching orders and if you look at 823 00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:28,880 what's happened the last four years 824 00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:30,640 they're ready to go they're pulling the 825 00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:32,480 trigger and whenever you look at 826 00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:34,880 freaking the netherlands in the farmers 827 00:29:38,870 --> 00:29:36,960 having to fight for that land that land 828 00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:38,880 is already gone and people don't realize 829 00:29:42,789 --> 00:29:41,120 it and that's not taking anything away 830 00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:42,799 from what the farmers and ranchers are 831 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:44,880 doing in the netherlands but they got 832 00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:46,960 plans for that land this is asset 833 00:29:52,149 --> 00:29:49,679 reallocation that's based on a monetary 834 00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:52,159 reset here and people need to wake up to 835 00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:54,000 it because their consumption model and 836 00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:56,559 their consumer demand is what is driving 837 00:29:59,269 --> 00:29:57,600 this 838 00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:59,279 yes i'm glad you mentioned that because 839 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:00,799 that was going to be one of my questions 840 00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:02,960 i wanted to make sure we hit was how 841 00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:05,440 much of this is a land grab you know 842 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:08,000 under the guise of safety and climate 843 00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:10,080 change we hear about bill gates buying a 844 00:30:16,310 --> 00:30:13,200 ton of farmland in america but once a 845 00:30:18,549 --> 00:30:16,320 rancher loses their land and has to sell 846 00:30:21,669 --> 00:30:18,559 or they go bankrupt they don't get it 847 00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:21,679 back so we're now limited we're kind of 848 00:30:26,149 --> 00:30:24,640 at the mercy of these big food companies 849 00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:26,159 and that's another thing this is kind of 850 00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:30,240 agreed play for monopoly because once 851 00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:32,559 most of the freezer space in the grocery 852 00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:35,520 store is franken meat or impossible 853 00:30:40,230 --> 00:30:38,320 burgers that's not something an average 854 00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:40,240 person can produce so you got these 855 00:30:45,669 --> 00:30:43,200 highly technical processes that average 856 00:30:49,029 --> 00:30:45,679 people can't duplicate we are totally 857 00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:49,039 dependent on those big food companies 858 00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:51,520 because we won't be able to find 859 00:30:55,830 --> 00:30:53,600 the normal stuff anywhere you can't get 860 00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:55,840 a pig raise it and slaughter it because 861 00:30:59,590 --> 00:30:57,600 that's actually illegal in most 862 00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:59,600 neighborhoods or it's against the hoa 863 00:31:03,830 --> 00:31:01,760 and all that kind of stuff so if you're 864 00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:03,840 going to the grocery store for your food 865 00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:07,039 and only this highly technical 866 00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:09,600 franken meat is what's left well that's 867 00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:13,600 a total monopoly capture on food but i'm 868 00:31:17,350 --> 00:31:15,760 getting sidetracked here the land grab 869 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:17,360 aspect i mean what 870 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:18,960 what's motivating that what do they want 871 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:21,520 to do with this land and why is this 872 00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:23,760 such a big deal that kind of goes a 873 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:25,360 little bit under the radar with this 874 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:27,120 whole agenda 875 00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:29,360 well it's broad why are they doing what 876 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:30,880 they're doing well they're doing it so 877 00:31:35,430 --> 00:31:33,600 they can own the damn land right i guess 878 00:31:37,269 --> 00:31:35,440 it's that so okay and then therefore 879 00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:37,279 whenever they own the land they can do 880 00:31:41,509 --> 00:31:39,279 whatever they want with that land 881 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:41,519 but whatever it is it's basically you 882 00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:44,159 know reallocation and you see this asset 883 00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:45,760 reallocation a lot of people don't 884 00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:47,600 realize what that means 885 00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:49,519 whenever they print all the money that 886 00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:52,159 you look at 2008 that was somewhat of an 887 00:31:55,669 --> 00:31:54,240 asset reallocation in the residential 888 00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:55,679 housing market 889 00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:57,200 okay you know what did they do they 890 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,799 bailed it out and everything well those 891 00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:00,480 guys that lost money got their money 892 00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:02,559 back you know people like vanguard 893 00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:05,120 blackrock what is vanguard and blackrock 894 00:32:09,669 --> 00:32:06,880 doing right now well they're buying up 895 00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:09,679 residential areas in the united states 896 00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:12,080 to where they're buying tons and tons of 897 00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:15,120 residential real estate okay well what's 898 00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:17,120 going on with the actual the farms and 899 00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:18,799 the ranches and the farmland and 900 00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:21,120 everything that we have well of course 901 00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:23,600 bill gates well he's one of the major 902 00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:26,000 investors in all the fake meat companies 903 00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:28,000 that have spawned a lot of people don't 904 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:29,840 realize a lot of this technology came 905 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:31,200 out of israel 906 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:32,880 and they do a lot of startups they have 907 00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:35,120 a lot of technology based around this 908 00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:36,960 and so he's got a lot of shell companies 909 00:32:41,430 --> 00:32:39,440 that he hides under his uh cascade 910 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:41,440 investments i believe it is 911 00:32:46,710 --> 00:32:44,000 so the land grab has a lot of intentions 912 00:32:48,789 --> 00:32:46,720 a lot of intentionality behind it 913 00:32:50,789 --> 00:32:48,799 but that's once again you know gates is 914 00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:50,799 somewhat of the distraction 915 00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:52,559 while that was happening china went 916 00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:54,159 ahead and bought almost the same amount 917 00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:57,120 of land during covid and well why would 918 00:33:02,149 --> 00:32:59,200 china do that well they have billions of 919 00:33:06,230 --> 00:33:02,159 people to feed one right but then they 920 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:06,240 can use our land to produce on our soil 921 00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:08,480 and then they can commoditize and they 922 00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:11,360 can profiteer off of everything that is 923 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:14,320 local to us and they can take it over to 924 00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:16,880 china they can actually you know that 925 00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:18,799 land that they have they can leverage it 926 00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:22,000 for beef production hog production corn 927 00:33:26,149 --> 00:33:24,480 wheat whatever they need to do and they 928 00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:26,159 don't have to sell it to the local 929 00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:28,640 communities in america they already have 930 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,799 an apparatus to where the distribution 931 00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:33,120 model is set up to sell globally anyway 932 00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:34,799 so they leverage just something that is 933 00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:36,559 already developed 934 00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:38,640 and has been engineered the last 50 935 00:33:43,110 --> 00:33:40,720 years to where if they can get that 936 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:43,120 production model and the distribution 937 00:33:48,149 --> 00:33:46,559 model they have the exact market access 938 00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:48,159 that they can leverage that makes us 939 00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:50,960 weaker makes them stronger 940 00:33:55,830 --> 00:33:53,840 mm-hmm yeah they don't make more land so 941 00:33:57,590 --> 00:33:55,840 no they don't make more land that's for 942 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:57,600 sure you can just get all the good land 943 00:34:01,830 --> 00:33:59,760 you're gonna win the game 944 00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:01,840 and you mention the netherlands we keep 945 00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:03,919 hearing about a fertilizer shortage we 946 00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:05,679 also hear about wheat problems due to 947 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,840 what's going on in the ukraine 948 00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:09,599 can you help us understand the domino 949 00:34:13,990 --> 00:34:12,240 effect of these things and the timeline 950 00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:14,000 as to when these 951 00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:16,560 shortages are going to be noticeable to 952 00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:17,359 most 953 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:19,200 regular consumers 954 00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:23,040 sure let's look at you know how ammonia 955 00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:24,960 uric there's certain things that are 956 00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:26,800 required to make fertilizer who makes 957 00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:28,960 fertilizer who makes ammonia 958 00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:31,200 well you know eastern europe russia 959 00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:32,800 china you know they're the biggest 960 00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:34,879 suppliers of fertilizer really that 961 00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:37,440 there is and so that got cut off a long 962 00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:38,560 time ago 963 00:34:43,829 --> 00:34:41,200 whenever i was on i embedded myself in a 964 00:34:46,069 --> 00:34:43,839 harvest company last summer i was there 965 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:46,079 this time last year because i was doing 966 00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:48,480 a deep dive into the grain industry and 967 00:34:51,349 --> 00:34:50,399 what i saw is like we're in trouble here 968 00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:51,359 because 969 00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:53,760 what we were producing and you know the 970 00:34:58,230 --> 00:34:55,520 yields we were in a drought a little bit 971 00:35:00,069 --> 00:34:58,240 last year and it's even worse this year 972 00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:00,079 but whenever you have to rely on 973 00:35:05,349 --> 00:35:02,640 fertilizer to do your mono cropping and 974 00:35:07,109 --> 00:35:05,359 a lot of ranchers use it to grow grass 975 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:07,119 you know so they can regen it to farming 976 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,720 ranch or disgraze their cattle because 977 00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:10,480 that's how cattle get started of course 978 00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:12,000 is on grass 979 00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:14,160 so if you create a fertilizer shortage 980 00:35:17,270 --> 00:35:16,079 well what's next if you don't have 981 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:17,280 fertilizer what do you use for 982 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:19,200 fertilizer well you use it for grass and 983 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:20,880 use it for grains 984 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,800 and then if you can't grow your grains 985 00:35:26,230 --> 00:35:24,800 in a way to either feed your animals or 986 00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:26,240 feed your people 987 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:27,760 then there's going to be a domino effect 988 00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:29,520 that starts happening and it's not 989 00:35:33,349 --> 00:35:31,920 instantaneous and with our short you 990 00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:33,359 know attention spans that we've now 991 00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:34,640 developed 992 00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:36,240 you know we don't understand a sequence 993 00:35:40,069 --> 00:35:37,920 of events that plays out on a global 994 00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:40,079 scale because it is a very large macro 995 00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:42,160 scale that we're looking at 996 00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:44,320 you look at commodity prices you look at 997 00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:46,640 the cost of fertilizer now it used to be 998 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:48,000 about 200 999 00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:50,400 for i think a two ton delivery 1000 00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:54,400 fertilizer well now that's 14 12 to 1400 1001 00:35:57,750 --> 00:35:56,000 well that farmer rancher is going to say 1002 00:35:59,910 --> 00:35:57,760 i'm just not using it man i can't do it 1003 00:36:01,670 --> 00:35:59,920 i'm just not growing this year 1004 00:36:03,589 --> 00:36:01,680 and sometimes they'll get paid even not 1005 00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:03,599 to plant their crops 1006 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:04,400 so 1007 00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:06,720 not having enough fertilizer not growing 1008 00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:08,000 enough grain 1009 00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:09,440 therefore you're not going to have the 1010 00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:10,720 livestock 1011 00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:12,560 there's a sequence of events that plays 1012 00:36:17,829 --> 00:36:15,280 out over basically from a six month to 1013 00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:17,839 an 18th month window 1014 00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:20,320 that what you do is you deplete your 1015 00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:22,400 inventories of the products that you 1016 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,440 need to basically feed your societies 1017 00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:27,599 and it's coming and there's going to be 1018 00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:29,920 a prohibition against 1019 00:36:34,069 --> 00:36:32,480 the market access to food 1020 00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:34,079 and it's going to be something that has 1021 00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:36,400 been engineered it's being engineered on 1022 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:37,520 purpose 1023 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:38,960 and it's going to be a shock to the 1024 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:41,200 system and whenever you have a shock to 1025 00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:43,200 the system that's whenever you basically 1026 00:36:47,349 --> 00:36:45,440 introduce a new system 1027 00:36:49,349 --> 00:36:47,359 and it's part of the overall play to 1028 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:49,359 create this short-term food supply 1029 00:36:54,150 --> 00:36:51,760 shortage or insecurity 1030 00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:54,160 and it'll play out across you know the 1031 00:36:58,230 --> 00:36:56,160 world of course and it'll play out in 1032 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:58,240 the cities we don't know nobody knows 1033 00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:00,720 exactly but when it happens it happens 1034 00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:02,640 pretty quick you can clean out a city 1035 00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:04,720 within two to three days 1036 00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:06,960 with food and you look at the supply 1037 00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:09,599 chain line breakdowns during covid you 1038 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:11,920 look how they're being reassessed you 1039 00:37:15,589 --> 00:37:14,240 look at the food industrial shift that 1040 00:37:17,829 --> 00:37:15,599 is going on 1041 00:37:19,829 --> 00:37:17,839 that is part of it as well is you create 1042 00:37:22,390 --> 00:37:19,839 a little chaos and then you come in and 1043 00:37:26,150 --> 00:37:22,400 then all of a sudden you're the savior 1044 00:37:28,310 --> 00:37:26,160 and whenever you take a food industry as 1045 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:28,320 we have it and you make it to where it's 1046 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:31,760 so subsidized it's so centralized and 1047 00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:33,760 it's so globalized 1048 00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:35,520 then it becomes something that's very 1049 00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:37,520 cheap to produce 1050 00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:40,240 and to transport we're not out of food 1051 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:41,920 here and we probably won't even get 1052 00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:44,480 there what we are out of though is 1053 00:37:48,550 --> 00:37:46,960 having that market access to a good food 1054 00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:48,560 supply system 1055 00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:50,400 that's what's going to be the hit unless 1056 00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:52,800 you understand who is producing your 1057 00:37:58,230 --> 00:37:55,520 food and what your market access truly 1058 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:58,240 is or that you have options for it 1059 00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:00,240 then you're either going to be woken up 1060 00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:02,240 very quickly or you're going to be very 1061 00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:03,359 prepared 1062 00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:04,960 um 1063 00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:07,760 yes yes it's very important to as you 1064 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:10,560 say go out and shake a rancher's hand 1065 00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:11,359 and 1066 00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:13,839 let them know you got their back so they 1067 00:38:18,069 --> 00:38:16,400 can do what they need to do and 1068 00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:18,079 you'll have the comfort of knowing that 1069 00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:21,040 you also have a good meat supply 1070 00:38:23,589 --> 00:38:21,760 but 1071 00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:23,599 i'm hearing people say i think i've had 1072 00:38:27,910 --> 00:38:25,680 two previous guests who say they think 1073 00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:27,920 this impact could come as soon as 1074 00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:31,200 september or october of this year do you 1075 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:33,359 think that's reasonable to suggest that 1076 00:38:37,510 --> 00:38:35,760 like we'll see noticeable issues we 1077 00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:37,520 can't say how bad they'll be but 1078 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:40,079 something clearly noticeable 1079 00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:40,960 will 1080 00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:45,040 hit us around q4 of this year 1081 00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:46,800 yeah that's always been my target window 1082 00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:48,320 last year that's what i said back in 1083 00:38:53,349 --> 00:38:49,839 october or november i said it was going 1084 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:53,359 to be the fall of 2022 going into 2023 1085 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:54,720 and you know 1086 00:38:58,470 --> 00:38:56,640 yes we will see it happen it's going to 1087 00:39:00,790 --> 00:38:58,480 happen in europe for sure i mean you 1088 00:39:03,030 --> 00:39:00,800 look at the netherlands let's look at 1089 00:39:05,589 --> 00:39:03,040 their food supply they're the number two 1090 00:39:06,950 --> 00:39:05,599 exporter of produce in the world 1091 00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:06,960 and well 1092 00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:08,800 they're taking that land away from them 1093 00:39:13,829 --> 00:39:11,280 they're not producing as much and so 1094 00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:13,839 you'll see touch points across the world 1095 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:16,640 you'll see famine this year in the next 1096 00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:18,320 12 months you will see famine in this 1097 00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:21,040 world don't know where it'll be and 1098 00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:22,560 because of that famine you'll see 1099 00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:23,839 migration 1100 00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:26,800 so yeah i believe the basically the 1101 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:29,520 spark of what we're gonna suffer through 1102 00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:31,280 or that we're gonna have to engineer our 1103 00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:33,200 own personal lives through 1104 00:39:37,109 --> 00:39:35,200 will be starting this year 1105 00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:37,119 nobody knows you know and i'm not one of 1106 00:39:41,430 --> 00:39:39,200 these persons that say it's definitive 1107 00:39:43,109 --> 00:39:41,440 but everybody that i do work with and i 1108 00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:43,119 work with some of the same people that 1109 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:44,480 adam does 1110 00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:46,079 and i've worked with some people that 1111 00:39:51,030 --> 00:39:48,240 are actually out there right now and 1112 00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:51,040 they say this is happening and that 1113 00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:52,960 you don't mess with the people that tell 1114 00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:55,520 us but like i say you know this is what 1115 00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:56,880 i hear 1116 00:40:01,510 --> 00:39:59,280 and as much as i know and what i've been 1117 00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:01,520 doing the last three years if i had you 1118 00:40:06,150 --> 00:40:03,760 know if that damn gun to my head i'd 1119 00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:06,160 have to say well buckle up buttercup 1120 00:40:08,829 --> 00:40:07,839 because here it comes 1121 00:40:12,150 --> 00:40:08,839 mm-hmm 1122 00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:12,160 yeah it seems scary but you know people 1123 00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:14,000 have been following this show i have 1124 00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:16,160 interviewed a rancher 1125 00:40:20,069 --> 00:40:18,400 here and there for several years now 1126 00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:20,079 trying to say hey 1127 00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:21,760 why don't you just get your 1128 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:23,680 meat from this person i've interviewed a 1129 00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:25,760 west coast an east coast and a 1130 00:40:30,230 --> 00:40:28,160 midwestern rancher all of which between 1131 00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:30,240 the three of them cover the whole united 1132 00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:32,320 states and their supply and i know of 1133 00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:34,640 course now you're doing so much in that 1134 00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,160 regard as well 1135 00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:39,119 and i wanted to ask you to compare and 1136 00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:41,920 contrast grass-fed regenerative beef 1137 00:40:46,870 --> 00:40:45,280 from typical corn fed grocery store beef 1138 00:40:49,829 --> 00:40:46,880 they're not all created equal what can 1139 00:40:52,310 --> 00:40:49,839 you tell us about the antibiotics the 1140 00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:52,320 additives and the things people probably 1141 00:40:57,270 --> 00:40:54,480 aren't even aware of when they see that 1142 00:40:59,109 --> 00:40:57,280 usda prime label 1143 00:41:00,710 --> 00:40:59,119 well whenever you look at regenerative 1144 00:41:03,030 --> 00:41:00,720 what does that mean well that means 1145 00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:03,040 basically from the soil up 1146 00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:05,280 you're not using any inputs that don't 1147 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:06,640 come from the soil 1148 00:41:10,390 --> 00:41:08,400 you go from the soil to the grass to the 1149 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:10,400 cow to the producer to the processing 1150 00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:11,920 center to your fork 1151 00:41:15,510 --> 00:41:13,119 that's something that doesn't have 1152 00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:15,520 chemicals associated with it correct 1153 00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:18,319 okay if you get into a commodity cowboy 1154 00:41:23,829 --> 00:41:21,040 i think we call them commodity cowboys 1155 00:41:26,069 --> 00:41:23,839 what everybody does or factory farming 1156 00:41:27,430 --> 00:41:26,079 some people will take it like that 1157 00:41:29,829 --> 00:41:27,440 what you do is you're going to start 1158 00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:29,839 that calf on grazing you know it'll go 1159 00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:32,000 from grass and then a certain point 1160 00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:35,040 it'll be led into a process that is fed 1161 00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:37,520 grains a lot of those grains these days 1162 00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:40,160 come from the major grain companies 1163 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:42,400 they're you know bare monsanto stuff 1164 00:41:46,150 --> 00:41:43,520 like that 1165 00:41:48,309 --> 00:41:46,160 and so they will be fed a form of grain 1166 00:41:51,430 --> 00:41:48,319 that has been genetically modified 1167 00:41:53,510 --> 00:41:51,440 usually it is basically produced with 1168 00:41:55,109 --> 00:41:53,520 fertilizers pesticides you know as far 1169 00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:55,119 as the grain 1170 00:41:59,750 --> 00:41:57,119 a lot of times within that factory 1171 00:42:01,670 --> 00:41:59,760 farming the cattle will be injected it's 1172 00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:01,680 across the board so different that you 1173 00:42:06,309 --> 00:42:03,920 can't generalize and it'd be a 1174 00:42:08,790 --> 00:42:06,319 horrible thing for the american rancher 1175 00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:08,800 to try to generalize all this 1176 00:42:13,670 --> 00:42:11,280 but a lot of that that does happen to 1177 00:42:15,910 --> 00:42:13,680 that cow at certain points of time has 1178 00:42:17,750 --> 00:42:15,920 nothing to do with the american ranchers 1179 00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:17,760 what their protocol that they have to 1180 00:42:23,030 --> 00:42:19,839 follow or they're out of business 1181 00:42:25,750 --> 00:42:23,040 who it really is is the global corporate 1182 00:42:27,349 --> 00:42:25,760 grain companies and processing centers 1183 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:27,359 the best thing that you can do is take 1184 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:30,000 that cow into a level they call it you 1185 00:42:35,910 --> 00:42:33,119 know fat cow you get a fat cow you take 1186 00:42:37,829 --> 00:42:35,920 that fat cow to harvest and it needs to 1187 00:42:38,790 --> 00:42:37,839 be as big as it can well you're going to 1188 00:42:40,630 --> 00:42:38,800 pump it 1189 00:42:42,790 --> 00:42:40,640 full of whatever you can to get it to 1190 00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:42,800 that weight so they can make that money 1191 00:42:47,190 --> 00:42:45,040 and that profit you know that subsidized 1192 00:42:48,790 --> 00:42:47,200 profit based on commodity 1193 00:42:51,349 --> 00:42:48,800 consumption 1194 00:42:53,910 --> 00:42:51,359 and so that's where you know our meat 1195 00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:53,920 has gotten as a nation is because that 1196 00:42:58,309 --> 00:42:55,760 type of farming 1197 00:42:59,910 --> 00:42:58,319 as far as going the commodity route you 1198 00:43:01,829 --> 00:42:59,920 know in the beginning it wasn't a bad 1199 00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:01,839 thing it was a good thing 1200 00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:04,240 you can go really deep into you know 1201 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:07,680 grain and you know chemical uh in gmo 1202 00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:08,640 grain 1203 00:43:13,349 --> 00:43:11,280 it's not even fit for human consumption 1204 00:43:15,270 --> 00:43:13,359 but therefore we're feeding it to our 1205 00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:15,280 cattle and then we're feeding the cattle 1206 00:43:19,829 --> 00:43:16,880 to ourselves 1207 00:43:23,430 --> 00:43:19,839 so we are consuming that unedible grain 1208 00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:23,440 in certain ways through that process 1209 00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:25,200 when i look at regenerative farming and 1210 00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:26,880 ranching i work with all kinds of 1211 00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:28,240 different regenerative farming and 1212 00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:30,640 ranching producers 1213 00:43:35,430 --> 00:43:32,960 and across the board what they do they 1214 00:43:37,430 --> 00:43:35,440 have the mindset that they are chemical 1215 00:43:39,349 --> 00:43:37,440 free and that's what it is 1216 00:43:41,510 --> 00:43:39,359 you will have to use some form of 1217 00:43:43,349 --> 00:43:41,520 antibiotics on any cow 1218 00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:43,359 especially you have something like black 1219 00:43:48,390 --> 00:43:46,400 hoof it's very common in in ranching a 1220 00:43:50,150 --> 00:43:48,400 lot of cattle will get that will you get 1221 00:43:52,309 --> 00:43:50,160 a regenerative farmer rancher that 1222 00:43:54,390 --> 00:43:52,319 basically you know he has to use some 1223 00:43:56,710 --> 00:43:54,400 form of antibiotic or any time that he 1224 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:56,720 does have to inject that cattle 1225 00:44:00,950 --> 00:43:58,880 with some form of chemical as far as 1226 00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:00,960 antibiotic or you know it's never a 1227 00:44:04,790 --> 00:44:03,040 steroid if you're regenerative you know 1228 00:44:06,630 --> 00:44:04,800 he'll usually take that cow out and put 1229 00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:06,640 it into the factory farming market you 1230 00:44:11,150 --> 00:44:08,400 know the commodity market 1231 00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:11,160 and he'll never sell regenerative or a 1232 00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:13,760 non-regenerative meat product 1233 00:44:17,430 --> 00:44:15,920 to his consumers 1234 00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:17,440 okay this is where the big 1235 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:19,200 misunderstanding is 1236 00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:22,000 the american producer is not the one 1237 00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:24,160 that should be judged here 1238 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:26,960 what should be judged here is the global 1239 00:44:31,109 --> 00:44:28,560 processing centers in the grain 1240 00:44:33,750 --> 00:44:31,119 companies that perpetuate this 1241 00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:33,760 because they have control over the 1242 00:44:38,550 --> 00:44:36,400 distribution in the market access 1243 00:44:40,870 --> 00:44:38,560 and so i have ranchers like our number 1244 00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:40,880 one you know one of our biggest ranchers 1245 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:43,680 is k c cattle out of austin texas cole 1246 00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:44,720 bolton 1247 00:44:48,150 --> 00:44:47,040 and you know he he basically came from 1248 00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:48,160 his you know 1249 00:44:51,589 --> 00:44:49,920 in texas a lot of people and especially 1250 00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,599 where i came from you know they grew up 1251 00:44:55,510 --> 00:44:53,440 the commodity route 1252 00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:55,520 but what he decided to do is like he was 1253 00:44:59,990 --> 00:44:57,920 going to do regenerative ranching but he 1254 00:45:01,910 --> 00:45:00,000 was going to do grass fed 1255 00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:01,920 and grass finish but he's also doing 1256 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:05,359 grass-fed and non-gmo organic grain 1257 00:45:08,470 --> 00:45:06,480 finished 1258 00:45:11,270 --> 00:45:08,480 that way he protects himself from 1259 00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:11,280 drought from price manipulations from 1260 00:45:15,670 --> 00:45:12,720 input cost 1261 00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:15,680 so you look at all the different ways we 1262 00:45:22,150 --> 00:45:18,800 still grow the best beef in the world in 1263 00:45:24,069 --> 00:45:22,160 united states and especially in texas 1264 00:45:25,670 --> 00:45:24,079 but what's the difference is a lot of 1265 00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:25,680 times whenever we're in the united 1266 00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:27,760 states we're eating beef that was raised 1267 00:45:32,309 --> 00:45:29,200 in brazil 1268 00:45:34,550 --> 00:45:32,319 that had a stop in mexico or a cattle 1269 00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:34,560 that was raised in africa 1270 00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:36,480 had to stop somewhere else and then they 1271 00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:38,480 get processed in the united states and 1272 00:45:41,670 --> 00:45:40,000 then they get to put that stamp on it 1273 00:45:43,910 --> 00:45:41,680 usda 1274 00:45:45,829 --> 00:45:43,920 what the big deception is there is you 1275 00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:45,839 don't even know what you're eating or 1276 00:45:51,030 --> 00:45:47,839 where it came from and they hide it 1277 00:45:52,630 --> 00:45:51,040 under that guise of usda prime 1278 00:45:55,430 --> 00:45:52,640 and that has happened over a period of 1279 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:55,440 time it used to mean something 1280 00:45:59,910 --> 00:45:57,359 but now what i'm doing with the beef 1281 00:46:02,470 --> 00:45:59,920 initiative is saying hey glad you're the 1282 00:46:04,950 --> 00:46:02,480 usda well we're the beef initiative 1283 00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:04,960 and we have a certain protocol that you 1284 00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:06,720 can definitely rely on when you know 1285 00:46:11,190 --> 00:46:09,280 exactly where your beef is coming from 1286 00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:11,200 and we've all shake their hands and you 1287 00:46:15,910 --> 00:46:13,920 can too either virtually because you're 1288 00:46:17,829 --> 00:46:15,920 coming through the beef initiative 1289 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:17,839 or you can go out there if you're local 1290 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:19,040 and you can go out there and meet your 1291 00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:21,119 rancher again and that's what they have 1292 00:46:25,589 --> 00:46:23,040 been stolen from 1293 00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:25,599 is the factory farming the commodity 1294 00:46:29,990 --> 00:46:28,000 cowboy they've got squeezed out they 1295 00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:30,000 don't have a voice anymore they don't 1296 00:46:34,230 --> 00:46:31,920 have a digital voice and they don't have 1297 00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:34,240 a market access voice 1298 00:46:38,710 --> 00:46:36,880 they don't have a way to where if they 1299 00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:38,720 wanted to drop out and not get their 1300 00:46:43,670 --> 00:46:42,640 meat processed by jbs cargill tyson or 1301 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:43,680 national 1302 00:46:48,150 --> 00:46:46,000 they don't have access to a processing 1303 00:46:50,069 --> 00:46:48,160 center and so what you're seeing is 1304 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:50,079 we're circumventing around that and 1305 00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:52,079 we're building microprocessing centers 1306 00:46:55,589 --> 00:46:52,960 again 1307 00:46:58,470 --> 00:46:55,599 and that's the key right there the key 1308 00:47:01,030 --> 00:46:58,480 big bottleneck to our nutrition and to 1309 00:47:02,150 --> 00:47:01,040 basically go to a more clean route of 1310 00:47:04,230 --> 00:47:02,160 your food 1311 00:47:06,870 --> 00:47:04,240 is the microprocessing centers it's not 1312 00:47:08,069 --> 00:47:06,880 these big 100 million dollar processing 1313 00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:08,079 centers that we're trying to compete 1314 00:47:12,069 --> 00:47:09,599 with jbs 1315 00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:12,079 no it's each little processing center 1316 00:47:16,309 --> 00:47:14,160 that already used to exist in every 1317 00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:16,319 county across the united states just 1318 00:47:20,790 --> 00:47:18,480 like in texas 1319 00:47:22,710 --> 00:47:20,800 and texas is a great place for this kind 1320 00:47:24,470 --> 00:47:22,720 of thing i've been considering moving to 1321 00:47:27,190 --> 00:47:24,480 many different states texas is on the 1322 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:27,200 list no income tax and even though 1323 00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:29,520 property tax can be expensive you got 1324 00:47:34,790 --> 00:47:31,760 the homestead exemption and you have 1325 00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:34,800 exemptions for livestock on your land 1326 00:47:39,829 --> 00:47:37,680 and then i've also found several mobile 1327 00:47:41,750 --> 00:47:39,839 butchers so i'm not trying to get in 1328 00:47:44,309 --> 00:47:41,760 over my head here and stuff i don't 1329 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:44,319 understand that's really complex and 1330 00:47:48,550 --> 00:47:45,839 difficult to do 1331 00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:48,560 but you know if i had some land and some 1332 00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:51,359 pigs on there eating the grass living a 1333 00:47:55,910 --> 00:47:54,000 pretty natural life i could call a 1334 00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:55,920 mobile processor 1335 00:47:59,750 --> 00:47:56,880 and 1336 00:48:01,670 --> 00:47:59,760 kind of raise my own hog in a sense 1337 00:48:04,390 --> 00:48:01,680 and that's something that's kind of 1338 00:48:07,349 --> 00:48:04,400 unique to texas and there's also 1339 00:48:09,190 --> 00:48:07,359 policies and laws around 1340 00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:09,200 processing that 1341 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:11,280 that are protected that other states 1342 00:48:15,750 --> 00:48:13,520 don't have right talk to us about 1343 00:48:18,870 --> 00:48:15,760 those things why the texas 1344 00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:18,880 culture and government and policies are 1345 00:48:23,510 --> 00:48:20,800 different from a lot of other states 1346 00:48:25,910 --> 00:48:23,520 where you really can't do this stuff 1347 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:25,920 yeah what you have is 1348 00:48:29,589 --> 00:48:28,000 you have the usda certification in 1349 00:48:31,349 --> 00:48:29,599 processing right 1350 00:48:33,990 --> 00:48:31,359 what that allows you to do is you can 1351 00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:34,000 sell beef nationally and so that gives 1352 00:48:37,670 --> 00:48:36,000 you the stamp of approval right so 1353 00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:37,680 that's a certain certification if you're 1354 00:48:41,670 --> 00:48:39,839 going to be a processor and we'll talk 1355 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:41,680 about the sizes of processors all the 1356 00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:43,680 way from mobile all the way up into you 1357 00:48:48,390 --> 00:48:46,000 know 500 cal a day 1358 00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:48,400 so in texas you also have the texas 1359 00:48:52,069 --> 00:48:50,480 certification and there's a lot of other 1360 00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:52,079 states that do this 1361 00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:54,400 but what you means is that you can sell 1362 00:48:59,589 --> 00:48:56,720 in the state of texas and you can sell 1363 00:49:01,670 --> 00:48:59,599 basically to the surrounding states 1364 00:49:04,630 --> 00:49:01,680 and so you don't have to be usda your 1365 00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:04,640 texas certification is your usda within 1366 00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:06,880 your region within your state of being 1367 00:49:11,589 --> 00:49:08,400 able to sell to 1368 00:49:14,230 --> 00:49:11,599 so by saying that texas acts like a 1369 00:49:17,109 --> 00:49:14,240 shield against the usda saying hey we 1370 00:49:19,030 --> 00:49:17,119 approve this over here like my processor 1371 00:49:21,910 --> 00:49:19,040 up in the texas panhandle justin 1372 00:49:24,470 --> 00:49:21,920 trammell of panhandle meets see he's a 1373 00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:24,480 texas certified processing center he's a 1374 00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:27,760 micro processing center column avatar he 1375 00:49:32,309 --> 00:49:30,160 does about 30 a week that his is his 1376 00:49:34,230 --> 00:49:32,319 capacity 1377 00:49:37,190 --> 00:49:34,240 by saying that he's really only trying 1378 00:49:39,510 --> 00:49:37,200 to feed around a 60 to 80 mile radius 1379 00:49:42,069 --> 00:49:39,520 that is his consumer demand that he 1380 00:49:45,670 --> 00:49:42,079 takes care of it's localized it's 1381 00:49:48,870 --> 00:49:45,680 community based it's a food shed and he 1382 00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:48,880 is thriving right now and you know what 1383 00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:51,040 he did is he started up from the ground 1384 00:49:55,430 --> 00:49:53,200 up and he built his own processing 1385 00:49:58,870 --> 00:49:55,440 center and he went through 1386 00:50:00,790 --> 00:49:58,880 and basically whenever he got inspected 1387 00:50:04,309 --> 00:50:00,800 and he got passed 1388 00:50:07,349 --> 00:50:04,319 well now he has precedence he has usda 1389 00:50:09,829 --> 00:50:07,359 precedence and he has texas precedence 1390 00:50:11,910 --> 00:50:09,839 and by doing that that's very hard to 1391 00:50:14,390 --> 00:50:11,920 achieve in the united states right now 1392 00:50:16,470 --> 00:50:14,400 because what they did is all he did was 1393 00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:16,480 mirror what we used to do in the united 1394 00:50:19,990 --> 00:50:17,680 states 1395 00:50:20,790 --> 00:50:20,000 well what changed is we went into this 1396 00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:20,800 big 1397 00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:26,720 processing 3000 to five thousand cattle 1398 00:50:31,430 --> 00:50:29,359 a day out of one processing center 1399 00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:31,440 okay that's the global market that i'm 1400 00:50:35,190 --> 00:50:33,040 talking about 1401 00:50:37,349 --> 00:50:35,200 well they don't know how to basically 1402 00:50:39,990 --> 00:50:37,359 most states don't know how to go back 1403 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:40,000 and scale down that's a big problem 1404 00:50:42,950 --> 00:50:41,280 texas does 1405 00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:42,960 and so what we've done within the beef 1406 00:50:46,470 --> 00:50:44,800 initiative we've created the beef and 1407 00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:46,480 it's about a two year plan that we've 1408 00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:48,000 been working on 1409 00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:49,920 and it had a road map from the very 1410 00:50:53,670 --> 00:50:51,760 beginning but it's the beef initiative 1411 00:50:55,750 --> 00:50:53,680 association council 1412 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:55,760 and what we're doing is we're opening 1413 00:51:00,349 --> 00:50:57,440 the door for people in the state of 1414 00:51:02,630 --> 00:51:00,359 texas right now if you want to open up a 1415 00:51:05,510 --> 00:51:02,640 microprocessing center we have proof of 1416 00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:05,520 work we have usda precedence and we have 1417 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:07,760 texas presidents from the ground up to 1418 00:51:12,870 --> 00:51:11,040 the last inspection we will advise you 1419 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:12,880 so where you can understand what you're 1420 00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:15,599 up against how to circumvent around the 1421 00:51:19,030 --> 00:51:17,599 regulations and the inspections that are 1422 00:51:21,349 --> 00:51:19,040 coming your way 1423 00:51:23,589 --> 00:51:21,359 so we're bringing education into the law 1424 00:51:25,589 --> 00:51:23,599 itself saying we know how to do this 1425 00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:25,599 better than you now and so you have to 1426 00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:27,359 pay attention to us 1427 00:51:31,990 --> 00:51:29,920 and so cole bolton down in central texas 1428 00:51:33,990 --> 00:51:32,000 well he's done the same thing 1429 00:51:35,589 --> 00:51:34,000 so he's opening his processing center 1430 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:35,599 this next month 1431 00:51:40,069 --> 00:51:37,920 and he's going to process about 250 1432 00:51:42,230 --> 00:51:40,079 cattle a day well he's the number one 1433 00:51:45,910 --> 00:51:42,240 supplier for the beef initiative so our 1434 00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:45,920 volume is about to explode tenfold to 1435 00:51:48,950 --> 00:51:47,599 where we can actually start feeding a 1436 00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:48,960 nation again 1437 00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:51,119 but by saying that coal doesn't want to 1438 00:51:55,270 --> 00:51:53,359 feed a nation we will in the beginning 1439 00:51:57,510 --> 00:51:55,280 because that's the demand right now we 1440 00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:57,520 want to feed the 48 states 1441 00:52:01,670 --> 00:51:59,440 but what he wants to do he wants to 1442 00:52:03,990 --> 00:52:01,680 scale back towards we're just feeding 1443 00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:04,000 texas and the surrounding states and 1444 00:52:09,670 --> 00:52:06,640 we're going to bring in other states to 1445 00:52:12,150 --> 00:52:09,680 where we can do california we can do 1446 00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:12,160 florida we can do washington we can do 1447 00:52:16,630 --> 00:52:14,880 wyoming we can do oklahoma you know 1448 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:16,640 these other states tennessee i have a 1449 00:52:22,069 --> 00:52:18,720 headquarters in tennessee in nashville 1450 00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:22,079 now i have a headquarters in colorado 1451 00:52:26,309 --> 00:52:24,160 so we're building out those nodes to 1452 00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:26,319 where what we're looking at is what is 1453 00:52:30,309 --> 00:52:27,680 our access 1454 00:52:32,309 --> 00:52:30,319 to processing centers for the future to 1455 00:52:34,790 --> 00:52:32,319 where like in the state of texas justin 1456 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:34,800 and i and cole were saying we want a 1457 00:52:40,069 --> 00:52:37,040 processing center in every county in the 1458 00:52:41,270 --> 00:52:40,079 state of texas we have 254 counties 1459 00:52:43,030 --> 00:52:41,280 that's pretty 1460 00:52:45,349 --> 00:52:43,040 pretty big dream in here but actually 1461 00:52:47,829 --> 00:52:45,359 that's exactly where we came from every 1462 00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:47,839 county did have a processing center and 1463 00:52:52,390 --> 00:52:50,319 so we're going to be basically creating 1464 00:52:54,950 --> 00:52:52,400 a hornet's nest of processing centers 1465 00:52:56,309 --> 00:52:54,960 this next decade that's how we fight 1466 00:52:59,990 --> 00:52:56,319 against this 1467 00:53:02,390 --> 00:53:00,000 ah i love it it is so complicated 1468 00:53:04,710 --> 00:53:02,400 there's many layers many steps and you 1469 00:53:05,750 --> 00:53:04,720 are hitting all of them and trying to 1470 00:53:07,910 --> 00:53:05,760 just 1471 00:53:11,430 --> 00:53:07,920 cut through all the that would 1472 00:53:14,230 --> 00:53:11,440 stop people from accessing their food or 1473 00:53:16,710 --> 00:53:14,240 producing food if that's the side of the 1474 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:16,720 coin people want to be on and it's just 1475 00:53:22,230 --> 00:53:20,000 like so so impressive and 1476 00:53:25,349 --> 00:53:22,240 i mean you're really leaving a mark 1477 00:53:27,670 --> 00:53:25,359 on on america right now and it's 1478 00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:27,680 just mind-boggling to me how many people 1479 00:53:32,470 --> 00:53:30,160 are out there totally ignorant that this 1480 00:53:34,230 --> 00:53:32,480 is even needed and then like you're 1481 00:53:35,589 --> 00:53:34,240 gonna be right there when they do need 1482 00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:35,599 it and it's because you've done this 1483 00:53:42,630 --> 00:53:38,800 work for several years i'm curious our 1484 00:53:44,710 --> 00:53:42,640 regenerative agriculture systems immune 1485 00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:44,720 or at least less affected by the 1486 00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:47,359 fertilizer problem 1487 00:53:51,349 --> 00:53:49,520 yeah well let's look at today in texas 1488 00:53:54,829 --> 00:53:51,359 you know we're going through a massive 1489 00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:54,839 drought right now okay yeah and you know 1490 00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:57,760 regenerative farmer rancher animal 1491 00:54:02,470 --> 00:54:00,000 producers you call them grass farmers 1492 00:54:04,549 --> 00:54:02,480 they they all go by different titles so 1493 00:54:06,069 --> 00:54:04,559 you don't want to disrespect any of them 1494 00:54:07,910 --> 00:54:06,079 but you look at the drought that we're 1495 00:54:10,069 --> 00:54:07,920 suffering through you know there's a lot 1496 00:54:12,069 --> 00:54:10,079 of guys out there that do regenerative 1497 00:54:13,589 --> 00:54:12,079 and sometimes you can call them a hobby 1498 00:54:15,510 --> 00:54:13,599 farmer rancher 1499 00:54:17,829 --> 00:54:15,520 you know and they do they rely on good 1500 00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:17,839 weather they rely on good rains you know 1501 00:54:21,670 --> 00:54:19,520 they let the cattle graze they let the 1502 00:54:23,109 --> 00:54:21,680 cattle have a really good life well 1503 00:54:24,470 --> 00:54:23,119 maybe this year they're going to be a 1504 00:54:26,549 --> 00:54:24,480 little bit suspect 1505 00:54:28,470 --> 00:54:26,559 of you know the drought because that's 1506 00:54:30,150 --> 00:54:28,480 going to basically squeeze them 1507 00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:30,160 and everybody has this thing that 1508 00:54:34,390 --> 00:54:32,400 ranchers are rich so they're not rich 1509 00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:34,400 man they're just making every cycle that 1510 00:54:37,750 --> 00:54:36,240 they can because they love doing what 1511 00:54:41,190 --> 00:54:37,760 they're doing 1512 00:54:44,069 --> 00:54:41,200 regenerative yes they are vulnerable in 1513 00:54:45,589 --> 00:54:44,079 certain ways they're vulnerable to the 1514 00:54:48,309 --> 00:54:45,599 elements 1515 00:54:50,470 --> 00:54:48,319 more so than anybody right 1516 00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:50,480 they're less vulnerable to the 1517 00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:52,640 deceptions into the global chemical 1518 00:54:57,030 --> 00:54:54,400 companies and everything they don't have 1519 00:54:59,990 --> 00:54:57,040 to rely on all those input costs 1520 00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:00,000 so therefore they have more wiggle room 1521 00:55:04,950 --> 00:55:02,720 but by saying that the proof of work has 1522 00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:04,960 to be a little bit deeper than maybe 1523 00:55:09,750 --> 00:55:07,920 you'd say a commodity cowboy that can go 1524 00:55:11,510 --> 00:55:09,760 and knows that he's got a year's worth 1525 00:55:13,349 --> 00:55:11,520 of grain and he's going to be able to 1526 00:55:14,390 --> 00:55:13,359 use that grain to finish off his herd 1527 00:55:15,829 --> 00:55:14,400 that year 1528 00:55:17,670 --> 00:55:15,839 so you know you've got to put it in 1529 00:55:20,069 --> 00:55:17,680 perspective once again 1530 00:55:22,069 --> 00:55:20,079 and look at a regenerative and rancher 1531 00:55:23,349 --> 00:55:22,079 make sure that they had like cole bolton 1532 00:55:25,990 --> 00:55:23,359 he's got his 1533 00:55:27,670 --> 00:55:26,000 regenerative commodities lined up he 1534 00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:27,680 planned ahead he's been doing this a 1535 00:55:31,430 --> 00:55:30,160 while then you got guys who's like well 1536 00:55:33,430 --> 00:55:31,440 i'm going to go ahead and take my cattle 1537 00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:33,440 to the market this year drought year i'm 1538 00:55:37,030 --> 00:55:35,520 going to drop out and you see these 1539 00:55:39,109 --> 00:55:37,040 videos like oh my god everybody's 1540 00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:39,119 selling all of their cattle well let's 1541 00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:41,040 put it in perspective 1542 00:55:44,630 --> 00:55:42,640 that one video that was out there on the 1543 00:55:46,150 --> 00:55:44,640 internet you know for a while that 1544 00:55:47,109 --> 00:55:46,160 everybody's been you know parroting 1545 00:55:49,109 --> 00:55:47,119 about 1546 00:55:50,870 --> 00:55:49,119 well let's look at that city let's look 1547 00:55:52,789 --> 00:55:50,880 at that town well they usually have two 1548 00:55:55,190 --> 00:55:52,799 auctions a week well that week that they 1549 00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:55,200 had that big line of trucks and you can 1550 00:56:00,470 --> 00:55:57,440 look all the trailers had two to three 1551 00:56:02,309 --> 00:56:00,480 cattle and it wasn't massive cattle's 1552 00:56:04,150 --> 00:56:02,319 that were being sold off but there was 1553 00:56:06,309 --> 00:56:04,160 only one auction that week we are in a 1554 00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:06,319 drought a lot of them probably saying 1555 00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:07,920 hey i'm just not going to suffer through 1556 00:56:11,510 --> 00:56:09,440 this drought anymore i don't want to 1557 00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:11,520 have to buy anymore or i don't have 1558 00:56:15,829 --> 00:56:13,440 market access to hay 1559 00:56:17,829 --> 00:56:15,839 so you have to really know the ranching 1560 00:56:19,750 --> 00:56:17,839 industry to be able to speak to it or 1561 00:56:22,069 --> 00:56:19,760 really to have an opinion saying hey 1562 00:56:24,470 --> 00:56:22,079 this is exactly what's going on 1563 00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:24,480 i don't see that being a big problem 1564 00:56:28,230 --> 00:56:25,680 right now there's going to be some 1565 00:56:30,230 --> 00:56:28,240 regenerative that suffers because if you 1566 00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:30,240 have a regenerative cow that's not taken 1567 00:56:33,990 --> 00:56:31,599 to weight but then you're going to have 1568 00:56:37,030 --> 00:56:34,000 people that are processing that cow and 1569 00:56:38,789 --> 00:56:37,040 it's only a 600 weight cattle man that 1570 00:56:41,109 --> 00:56:38,799 beef is not going to be good that's not 1571 00:56:43,030 --> 00:56:41,119 good for the regenerative market 1572 00:56:44,789 --> 00:56:43,040 and so that works against regenerative 1573 00:56:46,470 --> 00:56:44,799 farming and ranching because you don't 1574 00:56:49,109 --> 00:56:46,480 have people that are doing it somebody 1575 00:56:51,349 --> 00:56:49,119 like justin trammell cobalt and jason 1576 00:56:53,750 --> 00:56:51,359 rick up in colorado 1577 00:56:55,430 --> 00:56:53,760 scott hauck out in colorado as well some 1578 00:56:56,829 --> 00:56:55,440 of the top four of the you know guys 1579 00:56:58,630 --> 00:56:56,839 that i'm working with currently right 1580 00:57:00,950 --> 00:56:58,640 now so 1581 00:57:02,950 --> 00:57:00,960 it's such a universe within the universe 1582 00:57:05,430 --> 00:57:02,960 of the beef industry 1583 00:57:07,589 --> 00:57:05,440 and that's one of the most valuable 1584 00:57:09,030 --> 00:57:07,599 aspects of the beef initiative is that 1585 00:57:11,109 --> 00:57:09,040 we look at everything we look at the 1586 00:57:13,190 --> 00:57:11,119 full spectrum we're just not parroting 1587 00:57:15,109 --> 00:57:13,200 the fear porn what we're doing is like 1588 00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:15,119 hey this is really what's going on 1589 00:57:19,109 --> 00:57:17,359 what's really going on is the american 1590 00:57:20,549 --> 00:57:19,119 rapture has lost 40 percent of its 1591 00:57:21,829 --> 00:57:20,559 ranching land and nobody's paying 1592 00:57:24,150 --> 00:57:21,839 attention to it 1593 00:57:27,670 --> 00:57:24,160 what's really going on during covid we 1594 00:57:30,390 --> 00:57:27,680 lived in abundance and basically jbs 1595 00:57:32,549 --> 00:57:30,400 price fixed and manipulated prices to 1596 00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:32,559 the tune of 500 million dollars worth of 1597 00:57:36,789 --> 00:57:34,720 profit and they were on they settled out 1598 00:57:39,349 --> 00:57:36,799 of court for only 56 million dollars in 1599 00:57:41,750 --> 00:57:39,359 a fine well how did that happen well our 1600 00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:41,760 consumer demand happened and we're okay 1601 00:57:45,430 --> 00:57:43,520 with it and we don't raise enough 1602 00:57:47,670 --> 00:57:45,440 about it and the ranchers have been 1603 00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:47,680 trying to tell us for a while now we've 1604 00:57:51,510 --> 00:57:50,400 got a problem going on here and we need 1605 00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:51,520 some help 1606 00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:53,440 and we need a voice again we need you 1607 00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:55,200 guys to listen well how do you listen 1608 00:57:58,870 --> 00:57:57,119 well you go and you shake my hand and 1609 00:58:02,309 --> 00:57:58,880 let me sell you some beef 1610 00:58:04,549 --> 00:58:02,319 let's quit relying on costco or or this 1611 00:58:06,630 --> 00:58:04,559 online type of shopping boxes that you 1612 00:58:09,030 --> 00:58:06,640 can buy now the beef doesn't even come 1613 00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:09,040 from the united states right and so 1614 00:58:12,950 --> 00:58:11,040 knowing where your beef comes from 1615 00:58:14,549 --> 00:58:12,960 knowing that you should create a new 1616 00:58:16,710 --> 00:58:14,559 consumer demand 1617 00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:16,720 you eliminate all the deceptions the 1618 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,880 conspiracies and you go okay this is 1619 00:58:22,950 --> 00:58:20,160 really what's going on in our food 1620 00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:22,960 supply i don't feel food insecure i feel 1621 00:58:27,829 --> 00:58:24,960 very empowered right now because i know 1622 00:58:29,510 --> 00:58:27,839 exactly the truth and then how i can 1623 00:58:30,870 --> 00:58:29,520 move forward 1624 00:58:32,230 --> 00:58:30,880 well said 1625 00:58:34,549 --> 00:58:32,240 and so 1626 00:58:37,670 --> 00:58:34,559 in terms of what you guys are doing 1627 00:58:39,670 --> 00:58:37,680 one component is networking 1628 00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:39,680 regenerative ranchers that are already 1629 00:58:45,270 --> 00:58:41,760 kind of doing it that way and you're 1630 00:58:46,150 --> 00:58:45,280 kind of becoming a central hub for them 1631 00:58:48,870 --> 00:58:46,160 and 1632 00:58:50,710 --> 00:58:48,880 that's a beautiful thing are you also 1633 00:58:53,270 --> 00:58:50,720 seems like you are but it just seems 1634 00:58:54,630 --> 00:58:53,280 like it'd be more of a difficult task 1635 00:58:57,910 --> 00:58:54,640 approaching 1636 00:58:59,829 --> 00:58:57,920 these mono crop farmers who are kind of 1637 00:59:01,829 --> 00:58:59,839 stuck in the system and showing them a 1638 00:59:04,470 --> 00:59:01,839 better way if they own their land i 1639 00:59:06,950 --> 00:59:04,480 assume once they're out of contract they 1640 00:59:08,870 --> 00:59:06,960 can do whatever they want to do but are 1641 00:59:10,870 --> 00:59:08,880 you having success in 1642 00:59:12,870 --> 00:59:10,880 actually converting 1643 00:59:14,230 --> 00:59:12,880 to this new way for people who are kind 1644 00:59:16,470 --> 00:59:14,240 of stuck in the old way or the 1645 00:59:19,109 --> 00:59:16,480 industrial way i should say 1646 00:59:20,789 --> 00:59:19,119 yeah i mean like i said this is a low 1647 00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:20,799 time preference you know we didn't get 1648 00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:22,160 here overnight 1649 00:59:26,069 --> 00:59:24,240 but we can recover a lot quicker than 1650 00:59:29,270 --> 00:59:26,079 people think and 1651 00:59:31,670 --> 00:59:29,280 me being from texas texas cowboy mindset 1652 00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:31,680 and you know beef of course you know i 1653 00:59:35,750 --> 00:59:33,760 really started off with you know let's 1654 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:35,760 look at the cattle rancher let's look at 1655 00:59:40,549 --> 00:59:37,920 pure animal protein first 1656 00:59:42,950 --> 00:59:40,559 and that's a great case study and it's a 1657 00:59:43,829 --> 00:59:42,960 great way to showcase your proof of work 1658 00:59:45,829 --> 00:59:43,839 right 1659 00:59:47,910 --> 00:59:45,839 because you do have a cow an individual 1660 00:59:49,190 --> 00:59:47,920 cow that you can piece and then you can 1661 00:59:50,950 --> 00:59:49,200 actually really 1662 00:59:53,430 --> 00:59:50,960 really people can see that tangible 1663 00:59:55,829 --> 00:59:53,440 aspect of that cow in the whole life 1664 00:59:58,870 --> 00:59:55,839 cycle of it the harvesting the delivery 1665 01:00:01,109 --> 00:59:58,880 of everything you look at mono cropping 1666 01:00:02,870 --> 01:00:01,119 and everything there is a movement going 1667 01:00:05,910 --> 01:00:02,880 on there's a lot of ways that people are 1668 01:00:07,829 --> 01:00:05,920 looking at producing produce you know 1669 01:00:10,390 --> 01:00:07,839 from vegetables and everything you look 1670 01:00:12,549 --> 01:00:10,400 at california and how they do things out 1671 01:00:15,270 --> 01:00:12,559 in california how california really is 1672 01:00:17,270 --> 01:00:15,280 the bread basket you know for produce in 1673 01:00:18,710 --> 01:00:17,280 the united states right now 1674 01:00:20,069 --> 01:00:18,720 always has been people just don't 1675 01:00:22,309 --> 01:00:20,079 realize it 1676 01:00:24,549 --> 01:00:22,319 of course everybody's looking at it if 1677 01:00:26,549 --> 01:00:24,559 they have the means and a lot of them 1678 01:00:28,069 --> 01:00:26,559 don't want to change because they have a 1679 01:00:30,150 --> 01:00:28,079 good life they're doing it and they're 1680 01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:30,160 doing it in a very responsible way up to 1681 01:00:33,270 --> 01:00:31,920 the point to where they can 1682 01:00:34,950 --> 01:00:33,280 and that's once again we can't 1683 01:00:37,109 --> 01:00:34,960 generalize here 1684 01:00:39,589 --> 01:00:37,119 the beef initiative is about pure animal 1685 01:00:41,589 --> 01:00:39,599 protein beef texas beef in the beginning 1686 01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:41,599 right now it's a national thing it's 1687 01:00:46,309 --> 01:00:43,920 becoming a global thing but it really 1688 01:00:48,950 --> 01:00:46,319 comes down to how do we do pure food 1689 01:00:51,990 --> 01:00:48,960 again and so yeah we're expanding out 1690 01:00:53,990 --> 01:00:52,000 the knowledge base and as far as the uh 1691 01:00:56,230 --> 01:00:54,000 the protocol itself 1692 01:00:57,589 --> 01:00:56,240 it is expanding out and i i think that 1693 01:00:59,829 --> 01:00:57,599 you know i'm trying to get over to the 1694 01:01:01,270 --> 01:00:59,839 netherlands here as soon as possible i 1695 01:01:02,789 --> 01:01:01,280 don't know exactly when it been it won't 1696 01:01:03,670 --> 01:01:02,799 put probably to be this year i'm not for 1697 01:01:06,630 --> 01:01:03,680 sure 1698 01:01:08,390 --> 01:01:06,640 but i i'm going to australia in january 1699 01:01:09,990 --> 01:01:08,400 and so we've got people in australia 1700 01:01:11,589 --> 01:01:10,000 that are wanting to be part of the beef 1701 01:01:14,390 --> 01:01:11,599 initiative and so we're going to have a 1702 01:01:16,230 --> 01:01:14,400 couple of events over there so 1703 01:01:18,630 --> 01:01:16,240 this is something that we started in 1704 01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:18,640 texas but it is going to go global 1705 01:01:22,150 --> 01:01:20,640 because this is a global issue 1706 01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:22,160 and we have to understand that we have 1707 01:01:25,829 --> 01:01:24,400 to look at it you know it's open sourced 1708 01:01:27,990 --> 01:01:25,839 it's something that doesn't have any 1709 01:01:30,069 --> 01:01:28,000 boundaries it doesn't have any borders 1710 01:01:32,789 --> 01:01:30,079 but what it does it has a mindset to get 1711 01:01:34,789 --> 01:01:32,799 back to where we were once upon a time 1712 01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:34,799 that actually did give us a strength to 1713 01:01:38,710 --> 01:01:37,040 be able to give us the life that we you 1714 01:01:40,870 --> 01:01:38,720 and i live right now 1715 01:01:42,789 --> 01:01:40,880 it didn't come from basically our 1716 01:01:44,870 --> 01:01:42,799 grandparents consuming the type of food 1717 01:01:49,750 --> 01:01:44,880 that they did they did it with clean 1718 01:01:54,789 --> 01:01:52,549 yeah i just am so impressed with how 1719 01:01:57,430 --> 01:01:54,799 effective you have been it's like a lot 1720 01:01:59,829 --> 01:01:57,440 of us especially people like me 1721 01:02:02,789 --> 01:01:59,839 have been complaining about there being 1722 01:02:05,030 --> 01:02:02,799 a problem here for a while right and 1723 01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:05,040 just waiting for someone to come along 1724 01:02:08,309

want to build out these protocols 1945 01:09:49,030 --> 01:09:46,319 to where these communities can start 1946 01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:49,040 building locally so we can broadcast 1947 01:09:52,309 --> 01:09:50,400 globally 1948 01:09:54,310 --> 01:09:52,319 yes yes 1949 01:09:56,709 --> 01:09:54,320 just so impressive man 1950 01:09:58,630 --> 01:09:56,719 and i know that everybody's always 1951

initiative to expand to pork 1954 01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:06,400 and chicken because some of these boxes 1955 01:10:10,470 --> 01:10:08,159 you can get you know they're often 1956 01:10:13,110 --> 01:10:10,480 multifaceted with the these at least 1957 01:10:15,590 --> 01:10:13,120 three various proteins 1958 01:10:17,270 --> 01:10:15,600 yeah and that goes to scale right and 1959 01:10:19,110 --> 01:10:17,280 you look at these other programs that 1960 01:10:20,630 --> 01:10:19,120 have that well that's commodity based 1961 01:10:22,149 --> 01:10:20,640 crap 1962 01:10:24,630 --> 01:10:22,159 unless you know you're going through a 1963 01:10:26,550 --> 01:10:24,640 regenerative platform or anything right 1964 01:10:28,950 --> 01:10:26,560 once again it goes to scale right it 1965 01:10:31,430 --> 01:10:28,960 goes to basically consumer demand 1966 01:10:33,030 --> 01:10:31,440 basically creates that skill and that's 1967 01:10:35,110 --> 01:10:33,040 what people need to understand of course 1968 01:10:37,990 --> 01:10:35,120 we will bring we'll bring lamb we'll 1969 01:10:39,510 --> 01:10:38,000 bring yak we'll bring bison we'll bring 1970 01:10:41,669 --> 01:10:39,520 pork fowl 1971 01:10:43,430 --> 01:10:41,679 it doesn't matter what it is it's up to 1972 01:10:45,110 --> 01:10:43,440 the consumer demand and how we can 1973 01:10:47,030 --> 01:10:45,120 actually project that out how to plan 1974 01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:47,040 that out and how to leverage the 1975 01:10:51,510 --> 01:10:49,600 producer in a way that is beneficial to 1976 01:10:53,350 --> 01:10:51,520 the producer instead of a commodity 1977 01:10:54,550 --> 01:10:53,360 based leverage in which they're being 1978 01:10:57,270 --> 01:10:54,560 exploited 1979 01:10:59,990 --> 01:10:57,280 so as we move forward this is once again 1980 01:11:02,310 --> 01:11:00,000 this is about pure clean animal protein 1981 01:11:04,149 --> 01:11:02,320 and pure clean produce 1982 01:11:05,750 --> 01:11:04,159 whatever we can put into this model that 1983 01:11:07,669 --> 01:11:05,760 we've created within the beef initiative 1984 01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:07,679 you damn right we're gonna do it because 1985 01:11:11,350 --> 01:11:09,760 that's gonna basically compete with the 1986 01:11:14,229 --> 01:11:11,360 people that are trying to nutritionally 1987 01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:14,239 starve us yes good to hear good to hear 1988 01:11:17,510 --> 01:11:16,000 and i know i got to let you go but i 1989 01:11:20,149 --> 01:11:17,520 just want to make sure

01:14:12,070 --> 01:14:10,320 ranchers and farmers that are kind of 2068 01:14:14,149 --> 01:14:12,080 about the same thing but now we're 2069 01:14:16,550 --> 01:14:14,159 talking to a real go-getter who is 2070 01:14:18,550 --> 01:14:16,560 helping to give these guys the tools and 2071 01:14:22,149 --> 01:14:18,560 education they need 2072 01:14:24,709 --> 01:14:22,159 to move to direct to

some of our previous rancher 2079 01:14:38,149 --> 01:14:36,400 interviews were much more regional so 2080 01:14:39,910 --> 01:14:38,159 when people would get really motivated 2081 01:14:42,390 --> 01:14:39,920 hearing the interview they couldn't go 2082 01:14:44,470 --> 01:14:42,400 to that direct person but this is 2083 01:14:47,270 --> 01:14:44,480 different check out slim's website and 2084 01:14:48,790 --> 01:14:47,280 get a box of high quality meat 2085 01:14:50,709 --> 01:14:48,800 i've been through 2086 01:14:52,390 --> 01:14:50,719 a bunch of these subscription boxes to 2087

2093 01:15:06,470 --> 01:15:05,120 totally a good price here's just an 2094 01:15:09,430 --> 01:15:06,480 example 2095 01:15:11,990 --> 01:15:09,440 two new york strips two filet mignons a 2096

01:15:36,470 --> 01:15:34,000 when you count the roast is two 2106 01:15:38,950 --> 01:15:36,480 five pounds of ribs is two five pounds 2107 01:15:40,630 --> 01:15:38,960 of ground beef might even be

to be some kind of 2111 01:15:48,070 --> 01:15:46,400 michelin star chef to 2112 01:15:49,590 --> 01:15:48,080 grill some meat and roast some 2113 01:15:51,030 --> 01:15:49,600 vegetables 2114 01:15:52,790 --> 01:15:51,040 extra points if you roast your own 2115 01:15:54,950 --> 01:15:52,800 vegetables too 2116 01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:54,960 and maybe this is not the most epic 2117 01:15:59,270 --> 01:15:56,960 stuff we've talked about 2118 01:16:00,950 --> 01:15:59,280 but to rebuild a strong foundation in 2119 01:16:03,110 --> 01:16:00,960 this country first you have to be aware 2120 01:16:05,350 --> 01:16:03,120 that it's needed so that's already a 2121 01:16:07,990 --> 01:16:05,360 minority of us right 2122 01:16:09,510 --> 01:16:08,000 the conspiracy folks let's call it 30 2123 01:16:11,590 --> 01:16:09,520 percent of people that's probably 2124 01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:11,600 generous but a third 2125 01:16:16,310 --> 01:16:13,840 right there we're already so far behind 2126 01:16:18,630 --> 01:16:16,320 that we really need all of us in that 2127 01:16:21,030 --> 01:16:18,640 minority to make sure that we're eating 2128 01:16:23,990 --> 01:16:21,040 clean and eating local and supporting 2129 01:16:26,630 --> 01:16:24,000 the infrastructure that allows for that 2130 01:16:28,390 --> 01:16:26,640 enough with the big chain conglomerates 2131 01:16:30,470 --> 01:16:28,400 we know they're feeding us we 2132 01:16:32,390 --> 01:16:30,480 know they're taking our local dollar out 2133 01:16:35,590 --> 01:16:32,400 of circulation we know they're paying 2134 01:16:38,149 --> 01:16:35,600 people in our community a dog wage 2135 01:16:40,390 --> 01:16:38,159 well it's time we put our foot down 2136 01:16:42,630 --> 01:16:40,400 we gotta do more than just online 2137 01:16:44,790 --> 01:16:42,640 about the world economic forum 2138 01:16:45,590 --> 01:16:44,800 this is a really practical thing you can 2139 01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:45,600 do 2140 01:16:50,229 --> 01:16:47,679 dedicate yourself to this one thing it 2141 01:16:52,070 --> 01:16:50,239 does make a difference in your life and 2142 01:16:54,070 --> 01:16:52,080 the strength of your food supply and 2143 01:16:55,990 --> 01:16:54,080 your health and it takes a few more 2144 01:16:57,110 --> 01:16:56,000 dollars out of the food tech corporate 2145 01:16:58,709 --> 01:16:57,120 cabal 2146 01:17:00,310 --> 01:16:58,719 they tell us what they want to do are we 2147 01:17:01,189 --> 01:17:00,320 just going to roll over and let them do 2148 01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:01,199 it 2149 01:17:05,430 --> 01:17:02,560 but i did see this i was going to 2150 01:17:08,229 --> 01:17:05,440 mention it is a little bit of good news 2151 01:17:11,030 --> 01:17:08,239 i saw this headline from the daily mail 2152 01:17:14,470 --> 01:17:11,040 but it says fake meat fail beyond meat 2153 01:17:16,070 --> 01:17:14,480 reels as sales slow and stock plummets 2154 01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:16,080 with an analyst saying that they are 2155 01:17:21,030 --> 01:17:18,480 burning through cash and may go bankrupt 2156 01:17:23,270 --> 01:17:21,040 as partnerships with mcdonald's and taco 2157 01:17:25,590 --> 01:17:23,280 bell don't pan out 2158 01:17:27,910 --> 01:17:25,600 so good i mean if we go back to the 2159 01:17:30,870 --> 01:17:27,920 interview with dr laura 2160 01:17:33,990 --> 01:17:30,880 the ceo of impossible foods said they 2161 01:17:36,709 --> 01:17:34,000 intend to send red meat producers into a 2162 01:17:39,270 --> 01:17:36,719 quote death spiral 2163 01:17:41,590 --> 01:17:39,280 so you dude 2164 01:17:44,070 --> 01:17:41,600 but again this just means impossible 2165 01:17:46,149 --> 01:17:44,080 meats weren't working for fast food 2166 01:17:47,350 --> 01:17:46,159 customers well you shouldn't be there 2167 01:17:49,030 --> 01:17:47,360 anyway 2168 01:17:51,910 --> 01:17:49,040 the regular stuff they're selling isn't 2169 01:17:55,030 --> 01:17:51,920 much closer to meat either you know 2170 01:17:57,270 --> 01:17:55,040 but dr frederick laura said several 2171 01:17:59,110 --> 01:17:57,280 times this is their plan 2172 01:18:01,430 --> 01:17:59,120 but that's not to say it will be 2173 01:18:03,270 --> 01:18:01,440 successful so stuff like this is 2174 01:18:06,149 --> 01:18:03,280 encouraging to hear interviews like 2175 01:18:08,229 --> 01:18:06,159 today's really inspire me as well 2176 01:18:10,870 --> 01:18:08,239 it is important to not have a defeatist 2177 01:18:13,030 --> 01:18:10,880 mindset but recognize the 2178 01:18:14,470 --> 01:18:13,040 problems and the challenges and then go 2179 01:18:16,310 --> 01:18:14,480 after them 2180 01:18:18,709 --> 01:18:16,320 if they can get things done using a 2181 01:18:19,590 --> 01:18:18,719 problem reaction solution model so can 2182 01:18:22,310 --> 01:18:19,600 we 2183 01:18:24,790 --> 01:18:22,320 so big thanks to texas slim for stepping 2184 01:18:27,110 --> 01:18:24,800 up and to adam curry for bringing slim 2185 01:18:28,790 --> 01:18:27,120 up on no agenda as often as he has or 2186 01:18:31,430 --> 01:18:28,800 i'd have no idea 2187 01:18:33,350 --> 01:18:31,440 and i did bring up moving again on this 2188 01:18:35,830 --> 01:18:33,360 one i already made the decision to knock 2189 01:18:37,830 --> 01:18:35,840 that off it's getting a bit repetitive 2190 01:18:40,070 --> 01:18:37,840 it'll happen when it happens 2191 01:18:42,630 --> 01:18:40,080 but i already had this one recorded and 2192 01:18:44,550 --> 01:18:42,640 i also do appreciate some of the culture 2193 01:18:46,149 --> 01:18:44,560 in texas regarding food and thought it 2194 01:18:47,750 --> 01:18:46,159 was worth bringing up 2195 01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:47,760 here's another little story as an 2196 01:18:50,790 --> 01:18:48,960 example 2197 01:18:52,950 --> 01:18:50,800 my wife and i are friends with a couple 2198 01:18:54,870 --> 01:18:52,960 who moved from here out to texas 2199 01:18:56,630 --> 01:18:54,880 recently and when we were doing our big 2200 01:18:58,390 --> 01:18:56,640 road trip we stopped in to hang with 2201 01:18:59,590 --> 01:18:58,400 them for the weekend see their new house 2202 01:19:01,350 --> 01:18:59,600 and everything 2203 01:19:03,110 --> 01:19:01,360 and we went to a place for breakfast 2204 01:19:05,189 --> 01:19:03,120 that just happened to have a bunch of 2205 01:19:07,430 --> 01:19:05,199 vendors set up as well 2206 01:19:09,189 --> 01:19:07,440 and we saw a meat cart and started 2207 01:19:11,430 --> 01:19:09,199 talking to the woman about their family 2208 01:19:12,470 --> 01:19:11,440 farm totally regenerative grass-fed and 2209 01:19:14,630 --> 01:19:12,480 finished 2210 01:19:16,630 --> 01:19:14,640 and my buddy needed some eggs which they 2211 01:19:18,149 --> 01:19:16,640 also sold at this cart 2212 01:19:20,070 --> 01:19:18,159 but they also had a sign that said if 2213 01:19:22,310 --> 01:19:20,080 you buy a tri-tip then you get a free 2214 01:19:23,110 --> 01:19:22,320 carton of eggs so boom let's just do 2215 01:19:25,270 --> 01:19:23,120 that 2216 01:19:26,630 --> 01:19:25,280 well she gave my man four free cartons 2217 01:19:27,669 --> 01:19:26,640 of eggs 2218 01:19:29,750 --> 01:19:27,679 and they don't even have to be 2219 01:19:32,229 --> 01:19:29,760 refrigerated because they still have the 2220 01:19:33,669 --> 01:19:32,239 bloom on them which is also just 2221 01:19:35,510 --> 01:19:33,679 interesting if you ever wondered why 2222 01:19:37,830 --> 01:19:35,520 some eggs need to be refrigerated and 2223 01:19:41,110 --> 01:19:37,840 some don't they come out of the chicken 2224 01:19:43,350 --> 01:19:41,120 with a film on them that protects them 2225 01:19:44,950 --> 01:19:43,360 from that need for temperature control i 2226 01:19:46,870 --> 01:19:44,960 had no idea 2227 01:19:49,189 --> 01:19:46,880 but the whole thing was cool so high 2228 01:19:51,270 --> 01:19:49,199 quality food talking to the producer 2229 01:19:53,910 --> 01:19:51,280 getting a bonus just for having a good 2230 01:19:56,149 --> 01:19:53,920 conversation it was a memorable exchange 2231 01:19:58,470 --> 01:19:56,159 and it was very texas 2232 01:20:00,630 --> 01:19:58,480 i definitely walked away thinking 2233 01:20:02,470 --> 01:20:00,640 i want to be a part of this 2234 01:20:04,470 --> 01:20:02,480 if this was going on right down the 2235 01:20:06,630 --> 01:20:04,480 street from where i bought a new house i 2236 01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:06,640 would not be disappointed 2237 01:20:11,030 --> 01:20:09,040 plus texas gives you tax breaks for 2238 01:20:13,270 --> 01:20:11,040 animals on your property literally 2239 01:20:16,310 --> 01:20:13,280 paying citizens to keep the food supply 2240 01:20:18,229 --> 01:20:16,320 strong and decentralized that's great 2241 01:20:20,229 --> 01:20:18,239 i wish it wasn't so hot and so 2242 01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:20,239 drought-stricken and so 2243 01:20:24,630 --> 01:20:22,560 archaic about marijuana 2244 01:20:26,390 --> 01:20:24,640 but the food aspect of the culture and 2245 01:20:28,070 --> 01:20:26,400 stories like the one i just told are a 2246 01:20:30,229 --> 01:20:28,080 beautiful thing 2247 01:20:32,550 --> 01:20:30,239 also in the plush show one of the things 2248 01:20:35,430 --> 01:20:32,560 we talked about was the three-day bone 2249 01:20:37,430 --> 01:20:35,440 broth fast inspired by dr care 2250 01:20:38,950 --> 01:20:37,440 and if you saw my social media at all 2251 01:20:41,669 --> 01:20:38,960 this week you know that i actually 2252 01:20:44,229 --> 01:20:41,679 started that three days ago 2253 01:20:46,870 --> 01:20:44,239 so i had an early dinner on monday and 2254 01:20:48,950 --> 01:20:46,880 then tuesday and wednesday did not eat 2255 01:20:51,030 --> 01:20:48,960 anything except for bone broth and 2256 01:20:53,910 --> 01:20:51,040 drinking some water 2257 01:20:56,390 --> 01:20:53,920 but today i did wake up not feeling so 2258 01:20:57,750 --> 01:20:56,400 great allergy wise and so i kind of just 2259 01:21:00,870 --> 01:20:57,760 said it 2260 01:21:03,669 --> 01:21:00,880 the point was to feel amazing and i felt 2261 01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:03,679 better on the second day of the fast 2262 01:21:08,149 --> 01:21:06,080 than i did today so i woke up and i did 2263 01:21:11,030 --> 01:21:08,159 have some eggs with the family but it's 2264 01:21:12,950 --> 01:21:11,040 really to me about no sugar no carbs and 2265 01:21:14,550 --> 01:21:12,960 nothing artificial 2266 01:21:16,070 --> 01:21:14,560 and it probably does make for a good 2267 01:21:18,149 --> 01:21:16,080 reset 2268 01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:18,159 i definitely had an easier time than i 2269 01:21:22,550 --> 01:21:20,320 expected if you were considering such a 2270 01:21:24,470 --> 01:21:22,560 thing i was barely hungry 2271 01:21:26,870 --> 01:21:24,480 the harder part was just being bored 2272 01:21:29,110 --> 01:21:26,880 without eating for two days 2273 01:21:30,870 --> 01:21:29,120 but i think going without everything for 2274 01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:30,880 that little while will make it much 2275 01:21:36,149 --> 01:21:33,440 easier to appreciate small meals and 2276 01:21:37,750 --> 01:21:36,159 exercise more portion control 2277 01:21:40,709 --> 01:21:37,760 but we'll see 2278 01:21:43,990 --> 01:21:40,719 so i did about 60 hours is how far i 2279 01:21:45,110 --> 01:21:44,000 made it a bit shy of the full 72 but i 2280 01:21:46,709 --> 01:21:45,120 tried 2281 01:21:48,950 --> 01:21:46,719 discipline has never really been my 2282 01:21:51,430 --> 01:21:48,960 strong suit and had i woke up today 2283 01:21:52,870 --> 01:21:51,440 feeling energized and breathing all 2284 01:21:55,350 --> 01:21:52,880 right i would have probably cruised 2285 01:21:57,510 --> 01:21:55,360 right on through today as well 2286 01:21:59,669 --> 01:21:57,520 but something really really triggered 2287 01:22:02,149 --> 01:21:59,679 those allergies maybe i smoked some weed 2288 01:22:04,629 --> 01:22:02,159 with pesticides on it yesterday 2289 01:22:07,110 --> 01:22:04,639 another thing i gotta be better about 2290 01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:07,120 but dr care has seen some amazing 2291 01:22:11,590 --> 01:22:09,040 results converting families from the 2292 01:22:14,629 --> 01:22:11,600 typical american diet to an all organic 2293 01:22:16,470 --> 01:22:14,639 and grass-fed one really impressive 2294 01:22:18,550 --> 01:22:16,480 and other things we talked about today 2295 01:22:20,070 --> 01:22:18,560 in the plush show for plus members would 2296 01:22:23,030 --> 01:22:20,080 be 2297 01:22:25,270 --> 01:22:23,040 issues with analysis paralysis and the 2298 01:22:27,510 --> 01:22:25,280 right ways to think about food 2299 01:22:29,110 --> 01:22:27,520 the four sixes ranch school lunch 2300 01:22:31,350 --> 01:22:29,120 success story 2301 01:22:33,830 --> 01:22:31,360 the political takeover of school lunches 2302 01:22:36,390 --> 01:22:33,840 and the attack on kids grooming and 2303 01:22:39,189 --> 01:22:36,400 social engineering through hollywood and 2304 01:22:41,350 --> 01:22:39,199 quote the science the reasons why 2305 01:22:43,590 --> 01:22:41,360 they're nutritionally starving us the 2306 01:22:45,590 --> 01:22:43,600 truth about food delivery apps the way 2307 01:22:47,110 --> 01:22:45,600 the conventional system enslaves the 2308 01:22:49,270 --> 01:22:47,120 modern farmer 2309 01:22:51,110 --> 01:22:49,280 we also talked about problems with the 2310 01:22:53,830 --> 01:22:51,120 farm equipment manufacturing 2311 01:22:55,430 --> 01:22:53,840 corporations and how to revitalize soil 2312 01:22:57,350 --> 01:22:55,440 and keep it healthy 2313 01:22:59,350 --> 01:22:57,360 become a plus member if you like the way 2314 01:23:00,470 --> 01:22:59,360 i do a show and you want to hear it in 2315 01:23:02,629 --> 01:23:00,480 full 2316 01:23:05,110 --> 01:23:02,639 we also talked about the value for value 2317 01:23:07,030 --> 01:23:05,120 model and this event that they're doing 2318 01:23:08,550 --> 01:23:07,040 actually this weekend so i'm clearly not 2319 01:23:11,350 --> 01:23:08,560 going to be going there but it is in 2320 01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:11,360 georgia texas slim and adam curry will 2321 01:23:16,070 --> 01:23:12,800 be there 2322 01:23:17,910 --> 01:23:16,080 it's at wild oak pastures and it's all 2323 01:23:19,990 --> 01:23:17,920 weekend and you can get your tickets at 2324 01:23:22,149 --> 01:23:20,000 beefinitiative.com 2325 01:23:25,030 --> 01:23:22,159 but i have great respect for the value 2326 01:23:27,430 --> 01:23:25,040 for value model in contrast to the 2327 01:23:29,590 --> 01:23:27,440 sponsorship advertising model that has 2328 01:23:31,910 --> 01:23:29,600 taken over podcasting 2329 01:23:33,350 --> 01:23:31,920 but neither of those models advertising 2330 01:23:35,750 --> 01:23:33,360 it's pretty clear why it doesn't work 2331 01:23:38,070 --> 01:23:35,760 around here but value for value really 2332 01:23:39,910 --> 01:23:38,080 doesn't work for the way i have the show 2333 01:23:42,229 --> 01:23:39,920 structured either 2334 01:23:44,390 --> 01:23:42,239 because i did try it first 2335 01:23:46,629 --> 01:23:44,400 and big donations came with guest 2336 01:23:49,990 --> 01:23:46,639 recommendations attached and it started 2337 01:23:51,830 --> 01:23:50,000 to feel dirty i'm relying on a few 2338 01:23:54,870 --> 01:23:51,840 high dollar 2339 01:23:57,030 --> 01:23:54,880 contributors and when i don't interview 2340 01:24:00,229 --> 01:23:57,040 the list of guests they give me then the 2341 01:24:01,990 --> 01:24:00,239 donations go away and now i'm stuck 2342 01:24:04,149 --> 01:24:02,000 it was feeling a bit dirty and it was 2343 01:24:05,990 --> 01:24:04,159 feeling like i wasn't as independent as 2344 01:24:07,830 --> 01:24:06,000 i sought out to be 2345 01:24:10,310 --> 01:24:07,840 it kind of felt like people were buying 2346 01:24:12,390 --> 01:24:10,320 guest spots and we don't want that 2347 01:24:14,390 --> 01:24:12,400 but a show like no agenda doesn't have 2348 01:24:17,750 --> 01:24:14,400 to worry about such a thing because of 2349 01:24:19,430 --> 01:24:17,760 their format either way a tip of my hat 2350 01:24:20,709 --> 01:24:19,440 to what they do 2351 01:24:22,550 --> 01:24:20,719 we have the eight bucks a month 2352 01:24:23,669 --> 01:24:22,560 subscription model and it does me just 2353 01:24:25,750 --> 01:24:23,679 fine 2354 01:24:28,550 --> 01:24:25,760 my attitude is really any way you figure 2355 01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:28,560 out how to do it ad and sponsorship free 2356 01:24:33,750 --> 01:24:31,440 i think is a win but of course in higher 2357 01:24:36,229 --> 01:24:33,760 side news we got that event with the 2358 01:24:39,430 -->

highersidechats.com 2472 01:30:43,350 --> 01:30:40,639 where new first-time subscribers always 2473 01:30:45,990 --> 01:30:43,360 get a free 7-day trial because i'm just 2474 01:30:48,070 --> 01:30:46,000 that confident there's no paypal on the 2475 01:30:50,070 --> 01:30:48,080 website but if you need to use paypal 2476 01:30:51,830 --> 01:30:50,080 then sign up through patreon and you

the other 2480 01:31:01,110 --> 01:30:58,560 options like a few various cryptos cash 2481 01:31:02,950 --> 01:31:01,120 or check mail to the po box and i'll 2482 01:31:04,790 --> 01:31:02,960 even barter with most people if you have 2483 01:31:07,430 --> 01:31:04,800 your own business and produce something 2484 01:31:09,430 --> 01:31:07,440 nice that my wife or kid or taste buds 2485 01:31:11,430 --> 01:31:09,440 might like but the architects of 2486 01:31:13,110 --> 01:31:11,440 consensus reality have made it clear 2487 01:31:15,510 --> 01:31:13,120 that these themes and topics aren't 2488 01:31:17,350 --> 01:31:15,520 really welcome on the main stage and so 2489 01:31:19,430 --> 01:31:17,360 this is how we secure a little 2490 01:31:21,669 --> 01:31:19,440 counterculture corner for ourselves and 2491 01:31:23,510 --> 01:31:21,679 i hope you'll join plus because that is 2492 01:31:26,070 --> 01:31:23,520 the only way it works 2493 01:31:28,470 --> 01:31:26,080 besides

01:31:33,040 unsure if thc plus will work with their 2497 01:31:38,229 --> 01:31:35,440 podcast app and the answer is probably 2498 01:31:40,310 --> 01:31:38,239 yes but if not we have several high 2499 01:31:42,390 --> 01:31:40,320 level app recommendations for whatever 2500 01:31:43,750 --> 01:31:42,400 phone you use and the website is made 2501 01:31:45,430 --> 01:31:43,760 for mobile too 2502 01:31:47,110 --> 01:31:45,440 we're trained to tip a waitress for 2503 01:31:48,950 --> 01:31:47,120 bringing us a sandwich but that tip 2504 01:31:51,510 --> 01:31:48,960 doesn't give you access to a second 2505 01:31:53,110 --> 01:31:51,520 sandwich really i'm not asking for any 2506 01:31:55,030 --> 01:31:53,120 more than that and i think i offer a 2507 01:31:57,350 --> 01:31:55,040 better

01:32:02,000 appreciation beyond that let it also be 2511 01:32:06,310 --> 01:32:03,920 known that we have grown and survived as 2512 01:32:08,310 --> 01:32:06,320 long as we have by word of mouth 2513 01:32:10,390 --> 01:32:08,320 i don't care so much about social media 2514 01:32:13,590 --> 01:32:10,400 likes or follows but tell the right 2515 01:32:15,270 --> 01:32:13,600 people about thc
