00:00Hey, good morning, guys. Sean here. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but as a cattle farmer,
00:07cattle producer, or cattle rancher, whatever title you want to give us, I can't believe that
00:13President Trump and Secretary Rawlings just kicked us in the teeth yesterday by saying that they're
00:19going to import foreign beef here into the United States. This plan that he's actually talking about,
00:26you can go and look for yourself. The Cattleman Association at the national level,
00:31every state is coming out totally against it, and it's 100% because it's not going to have any real
00:38effect on prices of beef in the grocery store. The reality of it is the Packers control everything.
00:46Until we address the four Packers and how they control everything, we're doing absolutely nothing.
00:51Mr. President, your decision is going to run ranchers like myself and others. We don't
00:57make any difference. We're big or small. You're going to run us out of business, and we will never,
01:02ever be able to rebuild the herd. Right now, as everyone knows, the herd is the smallest it's ever
01:08been. But with this action for the next 90 days, what it's doing is pushing down the price of beef
01:16that we sell to the sale barn that ultimately goes to your table. This action that the president is
01:23doing is not doing anything to help the American people. He thinks it is. I wish he would listen
01:30to the Cattleman Association and others that understand agriculture because the reality of it
01:35is right now, what this is happening to us is straight up bullshit. There's no other way to do it.
01:41So I just want to clearly put out there. I'm totally against it. I'm going to fight every
01:46day for our farmers, fight every day for our ranchers, because somebody got to get to DC that
01:52understand agriculture and going to stand with agriculture. Because right now, if we continue
01:57on this path, we're going to run agriculture and run Cattleman completely out of business.
02:03Guys, thank you for all your support. Look forward to talking to you out there on the trail.
02:08But this, I couldn't even sleep last night. I'm just out here this morning checking on
02:13the cows. But I couldn't believe that the president would actually do this. So with that,
02:19I'll see you. I got it off my chest. I look forward to seeing you somewhere the day and
02:24tomorrow and the future days out. But for the next 90 days, I think it's going to make it is
02:29going to run some of our cattle producers out of business.
02:32Trump announced earlier that he's going to allow the importation of 300,000 tons of foreign
02:42beef.
02:43Country of origin, still unknown. We don't know. But I can assume it's probably Argentina,
02:50the country with the most Zionist president ever, as he has self-proclaimed.
02:55Guys, this is a slap in the face to all of our own ranchers and farmers. You know, Thomas
03:00Massey just had a bill that would have allowed the farmers and ranchers to sell directly to
03:05the consumer and the communities that they produce this food and just cut out the middlemen
03:10entirely. That there would bring down prices and make accessibility to good, high-quality beef
03:16much easier. I mean, going for foreign beef, I mean, we don't even know exactly where it's coming
03:22from. What kind of regulations? I mean, what kind of standards are they held to? I mean,
03:26we have some of the best beef in the world growing right here in America, but they make
03:30it so goddamn hard for the consumer to get to these mom-and-pop ranches, these legacy
03:37ranches who've been doing it for generations. And all we're really left with is to go with
03:43the big corporate farms, right? There's like three or four of them who own basically almost
03:48all the slaughterhouses. So all the meat in the supermarket comes from just a few select
03:53people. And it's usually full of hormones and all kinds of shit. Not healthy. So I don't
04:01know what you're thinking, Mr. President, but you just pissed a lot of people off. A lot
04:05of our ranchers and farmers, I don't think you'll find any of them that would agree with
04:10what you just did. Seems to benefit a certain select group of people. But we're not even going
04:16to go there, right? So yeah. What the hell, Trump?
04:21Chris Gibbs here in Ohio, where we've got the trifecta of stupid. But first, I want you
04:26to meet my cows. They're pasture fed, making the best use possible of non-cropland with
04:31no chemical applications. And they're working hard every day to do everything right to feed
04:37you, a nation, and beyond. And what do we get for it here in Ohio? We get Vivek Ramaswamy,
04:43who believes my livelihood is immoral, because he believes these animals were put on the
04:49earth to be worshipped and not used to sustain us. And by the way, they make terrible house
04:54pets. And beyond that, we've got John Euston, who never saw a retaliatory reciprocal tariff
04:59he didn't like. And now, their daddy Trump is going to import beef from other countries
05:04like Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Uruguay to make sure I'm not making too much money.
05:11Somebody help me make sense of it.
