1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,759 The Port of Baltimore oscillates between being a top ten port and a top fifteen 2 00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:08,359 port in the United States. It's definitely a top five port on the eastern 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,880 United States. You saw Pete Boodhage, Judge Secretary of Transportation, go on 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,920 and talk about how it's not as though this is a long beach harbor or 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,320 harbor on the West coast to take in forty percent of our trade. Well, 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,359 it's because it's the trade that comes from Asia. But for to sit 7 00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,559 here and minimize the impact of what this Baltimore harbor would have on the supply 8 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,399 chain is just well, it's it's idiotic because first of all, we're obviously 9 00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:36,679 going to see inflationary costs rise. Just over the next thirty days, we're 10 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,920 going to have to see trade move up and down the seaboard. You and 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,600 I both know that the longer that these ships sit out in the ocean, 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,840 the more the costs are passed on to the consumers, So there will be 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,079 an immediate inflation from this.

I'm your host Kerry Lutz. Well, you've heard 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:29,280 about the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsing, A lot of rumors about it a 20 00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:36,560 terrorist attack. I mean, Francis Scott Key authored The Star Spangled batter when 21 00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:42,280 he was in a British prison ship in the War of eighteen twelve, So 22 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,120 was it symbolic? Hot? What do we make of all this? Well, 23 00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:51,280 Jason Nelson is with us. Jason, thank you for your service. 24 00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:57,560 You were you worked a lot there. You were at Curtis Bay, and 25 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,159 you know that geography there as well as just about anybody. What the heck 26 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:08,319 happened here? Yeah, it's beyond the obvious that it's just a horrible tragedy. 27 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,639 And I do want to acknowledge that lives were lost in this. Obviously 28 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,960 there were a series of cascading errors that impacted what happened. And I don't 29 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,680 think we can wave off any conspiracy necessarily, but we can definitely see that 30 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:28,879 there are other reasons why this tragedy would have happened, and we can see 31 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:30,919 the reverbrating impacts that are going to come from that for a long time. 32 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,360 Yeah, So what a fact is about what's the impact upon the supply chain? 33 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,960 I mean, I think I heard somewhere Baltimore or to Baltimore is the 34 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,919 ninth busiest port to the seventeenth busiest. Supposedly three percent of the country's trade 35 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,240 goes through there. I mean, how bad is it really? Well, 36 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,000 Well, when you think about the fact that most stores operate on about a 37 00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:58,000 five percent margin, I think it's not very hard to sit here and say 38 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,840 that there could be a much larger impact across the country. But let's get 39 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,360 into some details real quick on exactly what goes to Baltimore and why this particular 40 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,840 incident is so important. The port of Baltimore oscillates between being a top ten 41 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,080 port and a top fifteen port in the United States. It's definitely a top 42 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:20,719 five port on the Eastern United States. You saw Pete Bootage Jeddge, Secretary 43 00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,879 of Transportation, go on and talk about how it's not as though this is 44 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:29,719 a long beach harbor or harbor on the West coast to take in forty percent 45 00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,560 of our trade, well, that's because it's the trade that comes from Asia. 46 00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:36,840 But for to sit here and minimize the impact of what this Baltimore Harbor 47 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,759 would have on the supply chain is just well, it's idiotic because first of 48 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,039 all, we're obviously going to see inflationary costs rise. Just over the next 49 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,800 thirty days, we're going to have to see trade move up and down the 50 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,120 seaboard. You and I both know that the longer that these ships sit out 51 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,680 in the ocean, the more the costs are passed on to the consumers. 52 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:59,719 So there will be an immediate inflation from this, but long term we have 53 00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,360 to take to look at the accident itself to understand what this means. So 54 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:05,199 do you mind if I opine for a moment here on the Bartomine Harbor. 55 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,800 Is you're our expert here, that's why we have you on. So you're 56 00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:14,039 entitled to a pine. Okay. So I was stationed at Curtis Bay. 57 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,800 My primary job in the Army Special Operations was in civil affairs, but my 58 00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:21,839 last two years was attached to a boat's unit right at Curtis Bay. In 59 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,519 other words, I could throw a tennis ball and hit where the Francis Scott 60 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,959 Key Bridge was. What you need to understand about the harbor there is and 61 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,920 so let's cut down some of these conspiracy theories. And we can do that 62 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,160 just by talking about operations. First of all, the person in charge of 63 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,600 the vessel at the time it was inside of the harbor is a harbor pilot. 64 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,360 That is a person who has spent years and years and years studying to 65 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,920 understand that very nuanced shipping lane. The reason for that is you see that 66 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,639 the result because what happens if there's an accident inside of a harbor. It 67 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,720 shuts down operations and that's extremely expensive for everyone, not to mention it could 68 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,240 result in obviously law of life and other things like that. So the harbor 69 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,959 pilot was in charge of this vessel. When you're looking at the Baltimore Harbor, 70 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,560 there's a very narrow channel it's about one hundred and twenty feet deep, 71 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,160 and that they shift through. It's in the middle of the pylons that you 72 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,040 would have seen in that bridge. What happens is is a vessel comes in, 73 00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:20,040 unloads its cargo, and loads its cargo. It's peer side for about 74 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,959 forty eight hours. In this particular ship's into instance, I can verify reports 75 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,879 that there were power outages happening on the vessel during its forty eight hours. 76 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,839 Now, there's many numerous it's repeated myself. There are numerous reasons why this 77 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:41,360 could happen, includes electrical systems, engine failures, other such things. But 78 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,800 what we do know is that ships are slaved to the dock, which means 79 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,839 that most of their electricity, if not all, is coming from the dock 80 00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:50,879 itself. So if there's power outages, that's likely an electrical system. Now, 81 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,480 this is supposed to be reported, supposed to be reported to the harbor 82 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,120 master. The ship's captain is supposed to take note as well as ship's engineer, 83 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,959 and they're supposed to address to fix the problem, in other words, 84 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,279 to make the vessel sea worthy. A ship came right, correct. So 85 00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:11,439 whether or not someone reported this is going to be something that the NTSB finds 86 00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:14,879 out over the next couple of years as they does they work their way through 87 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,720 this investigation. Nonetheless, this ship did leave the harbor at forty eight hours. 88 00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:23,000 Why because they can't stay there, Because if you have to do a 89 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,319 major repair in your peer side and you're right there inside of that area. 90 00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,600 Not only are you laden with your own cargo, which causes you a penalty 91 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,959 for your employer, but you're also holding back other ships from moving. There 92 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:39,439 are massive penalties for this, so there's an incentive for someone to lie or 93 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,680 OPTU, skate the truth and move a vessel outside and move it from the 94 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,040 pier. So there we have an issue. We also know that that, 95 00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:56,160 contrary to the graphics being shown right now that it's the ship didn't make what 96 00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:59,839 you would call a port turn. It didn't move out and move out of 97 00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:03,040 the harbor or into the shipping length. It didn't move directly into that. 98 00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:05,360 Instead, it swung wide, as a matter of fact, in a very 99 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,920 dangerous way. When you look at the water and the shoals there and you 100 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,079 can see that it gets slowest thirty one feet in some of those areas. 101 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,920 How do I know this correct? How do I know this happened? Well, 102 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:16,720 not only do I have someone that verified that the data showed this. 103 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,680 However, you could see in the long form videos that the vessel itself is 104 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:27,759 moving parallel to the Francis Scott Key Bridge for a prior to making its turn 105 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,600 its hard starboard turn and then before it hit the pilon. So there we 106 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,319 have another issue. What was the harbor pilot doing. Was he testing the 107 00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:39,360 system? Was there a failure in a system we know they called the may 108 00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:42,800 day? We know the power went out, So we get into another conspiracy 109 00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:47,240 theory here the ship made an abrupt movement into the pilon. Well I could 110 00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,120 answer that one, and that the power went out twice on the vessel, 111 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:55,360 and then there are redundant systems put in place. But essentially, if someone 112 00:07:55,439 --> 00:08:00,240 had made a move and the STI ships aren't steered by their rudder, this 113 00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:05,000 isn't the eighteen orties right. They're adjusted, especially at slow speeds, by 114 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,399 thrusters on the bow and the stern. So with this vessel, what it 115 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,839 would have done if you could see prior to the second time the power went 116 00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:16,319 out and where it was headed, I can see the maneuvers the captain would 117 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,120 have made, or that at least who was captain in the vessel would have 118 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:22,800 made to avoid hitting the pylon and to enter the center of the channel with 119 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,399 the power out. As it drifted, you could see when the power comes 120 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:31,120 on the second time that it makes a sudden lurch. There's only two possibilities 121 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,799 for that. The anchor that they had dropped, and they would have dropped 122 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,360 an emergency anchor would have caught purchase, which wouldn't make sense in a declining 123 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,080 v that would be the channel, or that the last commands that they entered 124 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,159 in were what hit and it made the shift the ship adjusted and suddenly slammed 125 00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:52,480 into the pilot. Which is a whole separate issue in that the Baltimore, 126 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,600 the Francis Scott key Bridge did not have protections in place, and then five 127 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,480 years ago had a budget to do so but didn't enact it. There's lots 128 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,840 of correct politicians doing what they do best, which is nothing correct. So 129 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,480 I look at this as that I'm not eliminating all conspiracy theories, because you 130 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,759 won't know until you get all of the results of the NTSB investigation. But 131 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,200 what I can say is, I'm seeing a lot of c ya right now. 132 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:22,759 I'm seeing a lot of people pulling back information and they're doing so because 133 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,360 right now someone's going to be held financially liable for what happened here, and 134 00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:31,480 there's going to be a lot of careers that are ended over this, and 135 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,320 in the end, you're going to see that it was a cascading level of 136 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,840 failures. It was it can be cylinder right, correct. Now, why 137 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:43,039 does our supply chain affected and impacted so much by this? Because the Francis 138 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:48,639 Scott Key Bridge allows flammable materials to move over the bridge. That means that 139 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:52,919 when you talk about all of the vehicles coming in, when you talk about 140 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,200 fertilizer, when you talk about helium, anything that can't go through the two 141 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,559 tunnels, has to go over the bridge. And you can't just make a 142 00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,720 land route for the next and just send people over through a neighborhood to take 143 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,879 these They said it's going to take two years just to create an alternate route 144 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,799 in order to move this traffic. So that's two years. For two years, 145 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,759 harbor's around the East Coast are going to have to take in that cargo 146 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:22,480 that was intended for that and that includes specialized loading and unloading facilities, and 147 00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,080 all of that creates inflation that is going to be passed on to the consumer. 148 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,399 It's going to create artificial shortages. Baltimore is not the sexiest harbor. 149 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,840 It doesn't bring in all of your finished goods. It brings in the things 150 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,360 that make your finished goods that make your factories work. This is going to 151 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,279 have a long term, huge impact on our supply chain. And you know, 152 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,840 it just puts us one step closer because as we see between this Texas 153 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,080 prairie fires, the food facilities that go up in flames, the railroads that 154 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,919 are having crashes, you know, there's only so many accidents that we can 155 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,519 have in our supply chain before our supply chain becomes overwhelmed and collapses. And 156 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:05,080 this one here is a huge piece of It's just it's another big foundational stone 157 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,360 that's been removed from the building that is our supply chain. And eventually it's 158 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,759 just going to take one more, just one more. That's how much closer 159 00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:16,080 we are. And for them to treat it so lightly, Boodoo judge, 160 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,519 to treat it so lightly and to say that, oh, you know, 161 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,799 other people are going to absorb this, that's not sarious. He's not serious, 162 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,559 the serious government official. He's a joke. He's a joke. And 163 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,519 it's treated get lis. Oh, hey we had an earthquake here at South 164 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,519 Bend, and oh the other grocery shore is going to have your groceries for 165 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,879 you. This is ridiculous to imply that it's about three percent of the nation's 166 00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:43,720 traffic and cargo is somehow going to miraculously be pushed around to other ports and 167 00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:48,039 have it not impact at least the consumer level when we're talking about prices. 168 00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,080 This is going to raise prices across the board. This is going to have 169 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,159 a massive impact. And then beyond that again where it puts our supply chain. 170 00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,639 Right now, that's why we created our company. It was because understanding 171 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:03,440 that being able to turn around and vertically integrate and make a domestically dependent supply 172 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,960 chain is so important. Right now, we are so focused on this international 173 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,519 trade and the cheap products we get from that that we've forgotten that our way 174 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,519 of life is at risk quite literally. Yeah yeah, Well, the supply 175 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,559 chain is resilient, but it's also delicate, right Well, that that is 176 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,279 the point. Right So, look, they just called how many chickens down 177 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:35,200 here in Texas and millions because of bird flu avian flu? Correct? So 178 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,799 you know we see this EBB and flow right now, you know. So 179 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,320 obviously I pay attention to beef, right so prepperbeef dot Com we listed here. 180 00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,240 We focus on shell stable beef and not just beef, but you know, 181 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,960 actual beef people want to eat. So I have to sit here and 182 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,879 watch the cattle here in Central Texas because I about importing cattle. I'm not 183 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:58,320 bringing cattle in from Argentina or Venezuela, or Canada or Australia. We're sitting 184 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,120 here, We're doing TeX's cattle, which means that we're impacted very much so 185 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,080 by the fires that just happened here in Central Texas, although are both North 186 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,159 Central Texas, but in the Panhandle, they're going to need so much feed 187 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,600 to be able to stay in the livestock they were able to save, which 188 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,320 raises the prices here locally in those local impacts. Of course, because Texas 189 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,120 provides so much cattle for the rest of the United States, impacts the supply 190 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,399 chain there again. Couple that with the excess costs you've got to see from 191 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,960 Baltimore. Couple that with excess costs here get to see from the calling with 192 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,480 chicken heerts. It's just it is that precarious and as we sit here in 193 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,600 an inflationary nightmare, these are not the signs you want to see. What 194 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:43,679 you want to see is you want to see production running smoothly. You want 195 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,679 to see our supply chain running smoothly. You want to see this opposed to 196 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:52,000 infrastructure spending that the Biden regime put in actually have an impact rather than just 197 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:56,879 words and DEI and a bunch of people making TikTok videos about how they're all 198 00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:01,120 accepted. Yeah, well, there's a lot more to the supply chain than 199 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,720 just TikTok videos. Hey, what are three things the country can do to 200 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,639 help strengthen the supply chain right now? Well, the first thing you want 201 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,039 to do is pay attention to what you're eating. And that's important. I 202 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,360 say that because of what you want to do is support local farmers. You 203 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:24,360 want to support support local ranchers. You want to support companies that support local 204 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,799 farmers and local ranchers. So it's time for you to take a deep dive 205 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,919 on the brands and what you get your food from. Understand where do they 206 00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,840 spend your money, your money, because it is your money when you give 207 00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:35,679 them money, Where do they take those profits and how do they spend them. 208 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,279 Do they spend them to increase your quality of life or did they spend 209 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:43,480 them to decrease your quality of life? So by supporting companies and people who 210 00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:48,639 at local ranchers, local farmers. You're not only sending a message to these 211 00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,720 large corporations, but what you're also doing is to change their ways. But 212 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:54,639 on top of that, what you're also doing is creating a paradigm shift. 213 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:58,919 You're creating a parallel economy in which you can have a direct impact on the 214 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,320 policies to impact to you and your families. I would think it's important to 215 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:05,960 maintain as domestic as possible, to vertically at a great our supply chain so 216 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,480 that we're dependent on Americans for American products. And I don't say that as 217 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,279 a zofoe by say that as a person who understands that there are just certain 218 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,960 things you can't farm out, and that is barring. It's something that we 219 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,399 are great at. We are the bread basket of the world and we need 220 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,559 to continue to embrace that. And the final thing I would say is that 221 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,840 we need to say special attention to the bureaucracy in this country and how through 222 00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:33,200 the EPA and through other regulatory agency, through BLM, which has been reducing 223 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:39,919 grazing land BLM as in the Bureau of Land Management right well, unfortunately now 224 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:45,120 there to BLM. Neither of them were good. How coincidental, yeah, 225 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:50,120 but the idea yes. So the idea that we need to pay attention to 226 00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,639 the policies that are being put forth and be active. Be active with your 227 00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:58,639 state legislators. Make sure they're not allowing people to put MR and A vaccines 228 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,000 inside of your cattle. Make sure they're not able to sit here and make 229 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,919 vaccine inducing food. I mean, this is a real thing, and for 230 00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:08,600 those to say that aren't possible. By the way, that's how we used 231 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:12,960 to give vaccines to Afghan children. We used to put up on wafers and 232 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,200 give them to them in their mouths. So yes, you can give people 233 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,919 vaccines through food. So we need to pay attention to what's being done. 234 00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:23,399 We need to make sure we stop with these breaking meats and these you know, 235 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,639 they're making lab grown food beatups from a pasture, not from a petri 236 00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:32,320 dish. So you know, these are the things that we could do. 237 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:34,519 I know they don't sound simple, but they are simple, and they all 238 00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:40,919 center around one thing, educating yourself and then sharing that education. Couldn't agree 239 00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:45,919 with him more. You know, have been having Florida honey for twelve years, 240 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:52,600 best honting around and it also helps with local allergies too. And you 241 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,399 know, Florida is I think the fifth largest producer of cattle in the country, 242 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,720 but they ship it off to other states to finish it because there's nothing 243 00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:07,440 glamorous about Florida cattle. Well, you know, you guys have orges, 244 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,880 so I think you have plenty to brag about down there. So we let 245 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,359 us have our cattle here in Texas. Come on, that's out there, 246 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:23,519 organic, organically grown, no no antibiotics, no hormones, right and free 247 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:29,079 range right, yes, that's any time. The regenerative farming has been a 248 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,920 key to that, and that's why we've partnered with the rancher that is focused 249 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,200 on that. Because being able to allow your cattle to move about builds, 250 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,440 builds, better bodies. It's the type of protein you want to eat. 251 00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:42,799 You know, people can have their Kobe beef all they want, you know, 252 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:48,599 I this best cattle come from cattle that are able to free reach, 253 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:52,119 move about and grow as they as God intended. And you know, there's 254 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,839 a lot to be said. I understand why factory farming exists, but the 255 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,240 invinal thing is is that we've been able to shift away from that. We've 256 00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:04,880 been able to create new methodologies, So a factory farming came about so that 257 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,119 they could create mass quantities of food. Now we found that we could create 258 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,799 mass quantities of food without having to do factory farming, and I'm excited about 259 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,200 being able to show that that paradigm shift is worthwhile so true. I mean 260 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:22,759 a few like ten years ago, I noticed that the meat just wasn't tasting 261 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:27,279 as good, even in good restaurants. And what my investigations discovered is that 262 00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:32,920 because they're using the hormone the cow, they can they can butcher it after 263 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,079 a year instead of two years because it artificially builds up its muscle and fat 264 00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:41,400 and all that. And since I switched back to the free range stuff, 265 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:47,559 I found it it's really as good as it ever was. It's that stuff 266 00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:52,400 that the franken food as we call it. You know, I call it 267 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,480 what passes for food because it looks like food, it tastes like food, 268 00:18:56,599 --> 00:19:00,640 but it ain't food. Jason, No, it's not food. You know. 269 00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:06,039 People ask that because you know, so we started huh Prepper all naturals 270 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:10,440 of prepperbeef dot called. The whole reason we did it was obviously supply chain 271 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,240 issues of other things like that. But as we were building it, and 272 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:15,559 you know, I begin to educate myself. I started to see the things 273 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:21,519 that these quote unquote innovations that they're putting out there, and and uh, 274 00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:25,880 did you see what the Italians are doing with uh They've taken I'm just going 275 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,599 to tell you so the spare parts of the cow, the part that quite 276 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,640 literally they turned into cat food. This is their words, not mine. 277 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,960 They bunchet all together and they put it into a machine that then makes simulated 278 00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:42,880 steak and they they show them cutting it. How amazing this is going to 279 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,599 be. And I'm thinking, uh, this in Italy and this is what's 280 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,240 coming to the EU. You know what they're doing to the Dutch farmers. 281 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:56,359 But they done is it has been very out front and proactive with food quality. 282 00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:00,640 There's a lot of stuff they won't even import from the United States because 283 00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:04,759 it's Franken food. Absolutely, but here they are doing exactly the same thing. 284 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,880 So you know, it bothers me because we don't have a shortage of 285 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,160 food. And this is not what's causing a climate disaster. The climate disaster 286 00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:15,599 is being caused by China. If there is a climate disaster, and you 287 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,519 know, I quite frankly, don't think there is one. I think what 288 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,359 we have is we just have a hysteria and we have a cult. But 289 00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:26,279 we have a changing climate. Yes, but yes, but that's what happens 290 00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:30,640 at Earth. It's something to blame, you know, well correct now? 291 00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:37,440 I mean they're no different than ancients shaking their fist at the sky and blaming 292 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,359 the gods they can't see because their crops were ruined. It just reminded me 293 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,680 of something when we're not political at all, but just the funniest thing when 294 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,720 Trump was elected and all of these people were screaming and there's that one woman 295 00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:56,240 with the wool hat on it just screaming and they're ranting and raving, and 296 00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,480 it's just like but you know, it's that thing they're like cursing the gods. 297 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,799 Hey, Jason, question, where do we do?
