Rancher Chad Sullivan joins me to talk about the war on beef and the need to protect our food supply from environmental extremists who want to control all food production in order to reduce the amount of food we can eat.
00:00:58.840Believe it or not, it is the war on beef.
00:01:03.060Using climate change as a shield, this war seeks to control all food production.
00:01:10.300Major players, including politicians and megacorporations, all at the expense of the small American farms and the small farms all around the world.
00:01:20.220One rancher has been speaking out about this for quite some time.
00:01:23.540And he's here to talk about what you can do to stop it.
00:01:27.500He's a cattle rancher that believes in private property rights.
00:01:31.780He is the committee chair of R-CALF USA.
00:01:38.900Before we get to Shad, when you are faced with a situation where you might have to shoot somebody in self-defense, God forbid this ever happens, in defense of your family, you have to make a decision like this fast.
00:01:52.560Are you willing to face the legal consequences?
00:04:31.000The way I understand that proposition was is 63% of the voters voted in favor of requiring cage size requirements for chickens and hogs and such as that.
00:04:46.800And so that did go ahead and pass, but we knew, you know, we know that that wasn't the end intention.
00:08:22.880Explain what California just did and why it affects all of us.
00:08:26.240Well, with the passage of Prop 12, that would inhibit importers into California.
00:08:35.580That would regulate the people who sell into California under the same rules, which would eliminate, you know, a lot of transactions that they need for their economy.
00:08:47.160And what they said was the pens have to be even bigger.
00:10:56.300Well, there's a plethora of reasons that come into it.
00:11:00.140You know, droughts may have an effect.
00:11:02.760But the overall mechanism here that we've seen come into play is corporate control.
00:11:09.760They, and that's what we're really seeing as a symptom of what's going on in California.
00:11:16.220This corporate control has emboldened, their power has become emboldened.
00:11:24.320And so the symptom of it is, hey, you're going to produce as we see fit, or you're going to get out of the game.
00:11:30.280And see, it's a very convoluted and complex issue, because on one side you have these ideologues, and then you have, on the other side, you have this takeover of corporate control in the United States.
00:11:43.280And when they come together, it's just like a snowball headed for hell.
00:11:56.600I think the Lord has given me a good sense of where it came from and where it's going.
00:12:02.120It's not something that I set out to learn, but my family was affected by a land taking in 1999, and it opened my eyes to a corrupt system.
00:13:17.840But there's, we're to the point, I think it was this year or last year, where it costs more to feed the animal than they were willing to sell or buy at.
00:13:54.140And I'll tell you this, the global elite, in fact, an individual from the World Wildlife Fund said, we have to use collusion in order to implement this agenda.
00:14:07.840And so they are using the corporate packers, you know.
00:14:12.000And the corporate packers are volunteering for it, obviously.
00:14:15.820There's four main packers control 85% of the supply chain in the beef industry today.
00:14:23.460Two of them are foreign-owned, National Marfrig and JBS.
00:16:25.300The problem with, you know, as I say, it was a gift.
00:16:31.220It was something that COVID gave us was that expansion of those local and regional packing facilities and the ability for us to take our product and sell it locally.
00:16:42.580But now they're coming in and saying, oh, we got the EPA.
00:16:46.660We got to go by their environmental regulations.
00:16:48.680So now there's local and regional packing companies that are going to have to spend millions and millions on wastewater treatment plants in their own organization.
00:17:58.620You know, I said this a few years back when I first came on with, you know, ESG and and the World Economic Forum and what they were talking about in Agenda 21 at first.
00:23:43.660And we have to, we have to get on board and understand that the found our founding fathers and their creation of this living document, we call the Constitution of the United States is the only way we save this country.
00:23:57.060And we save it through private property and private property.
00:25:49.100Well, the natural asset companies, the New York Stock Exchange petitioned the Securities and Exchange Commission to create what they call natural asset companies.
00:26:01.780And they are so convoluted and so complex, it's hard to understand.
00:26:06.960But the basic is, is they would take control of our natural outputs.
00:26:12.640In other words, they would monetize and quantify our air, our water, anything productively tied to the land.
00:26:20.360And so at the end of it, in the beginning of it, it would affect really state and federally owned lands.
00:26:27.860Those lands that have been given over to conservation easements.
00:26:33.860Private lands, you could enroll your private land into it.
00:26:38.180But the gist of it is, is they end, the end result is they take control of the management of those natural outputs.
00:26:45.720And then they can dictate how you produce on that land.
00:27:33.280I mean, we have national heritage areas.
00:27:35.420My, you know, I was part of an organization that defeated one in Southeast Colorado in 2014.
00:27:41.040And the only reason we knew about it, Glenn, was it was leaked from the National Park Service to an individual.
00:27:46.340They weren't going to tell us about that.
00:27:47.960You have conservation easements that people are going into, farmers and ranchers are going into under the guise of protecting their future rights on these lands.
00:28:27.900And I'll tell you what, under some conservation easement contracts, my neighbor can put a conservation easement on his ranch and under that contract, it can say no oil wells pumping in the view shed.
00:28:42.880It ends up kicking you out because nobody's going to come drill for oil on your land.
00:28:47.900You know, they make all of these very corrupt principles and they hide them in these contracts.
00:28:54.440And I, you know, in my country where I grew up, southeast Colorado, all ranch country, thousands of farmers and ranchers put their land in easements.
00:29:04.180And my dad was like, don't, don't do it.
00:29:07.720You're, you're dictating from the grave.
00:29:48.980So when we have all of these cattle men and women, I know going across Florida, everybody's talking about how many people are moving in and we got to put these lands in conservation easements.
00:30:12.220And so here we are talking about conservation easements.
00:30:17.000You know, we have the American Prairie Reserve in, in Montana, totally controlled by the World Wildlife Fund.
00:30:25.640The World Wildlife Fund is, is interested in management of the natural asset companies.
00:30:30.780You see how this is all interwoven and inter, intertwined at these non-governmental environmental or extreme environmental organizations are, are so heavily funded that we can't compete.
00:30:45.500And now you have what they call public-private partnerships.
00:30:49.520They're the most dangerous thing on earth.
00:31:16.680I saw what was happening back in 1999, and then we come in in about 2010, and they start talking about the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.
00:31:25.980And when I hear global, and I knew that they were stealing the word sustainable, I knew we were in trouble.
00:31:31.860And I'm telling you, our trade organizations have signed on to these sustainability models, and they did it without knowing what true sustainability meant.
00:31:42.960There's only one sustainer, and it's not the global elite.
00:31:47.620We are in trouble, and I'm telling you, they're pushing since the delineation of the natural asset companies.
00:31:56.880They're coming out stronger than ever.
00:31:58.340They're pushing for global control through sustainable development, and it's not good.
00:34:22.920Well, a lot of people are loyal to their trade organizations.
00:34:30.600And you can see that here in Texas, big.
00:34:32.640You know, there's one of the largest trade organizations here is a great organization that provides a lot of good things, but they've signed on to the sustainability model.
00:34:44.200But their members don't understand that model, but they're loyal, and I call them organization loyalists.
00:40:22.740And I like to tout that I'm a freedom maker, not a freedom taker.
00:40:26.900I've never served my country in the military.
00:40:28.880So, I guess this is kind of my way of serving my country is to make sure that, you know, we can produce independently under the guise of our own thought, you know, not under independent production or not under the sustainable development.
00:40:47.620You know, people don't know under the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef you have to produce as they see fit or you get out of the market.
00:40:55.920That happened in Brazil under the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Soy.
00:41:05.980So, they sell all of their soy to the European Union.
00:41:10.080And in order to be able to sell, you had to be a member or a part of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Soy, which means that you produce that soy as they tell you to produce.
00:41:20.480They're pushing the same thing in the United States under the Global and U.S. Roundtables for Sustainable Beef.
00:41:27.420You get on board or you get out of the market.
00:41:29.580Now, here in the United States, they say, oh, Chad, you're wrong.
00:43:10.780Well, they're saying it's for disease traceability.
00:43:13.540But we have an adequate system that traces disease.
00:43:19.360If they were worried about disease traceability, why did we move our disease laboratory from Plum Island to Manhattan, Kansas, in the middle of cattle country?
00:43:29.320And foot and mouth has escaped that laboratory off of Plum Island off the coast of New York before dissipated out in the ocean.
00:43:39.860But we've moved that laboratory that contains all these deadly diseases into Manhattan, Kansas, right in the middle of beef cattle country?
00:44:20.460And how and what we see not only depends on the strength of our own eyes, but the brain fills in certain things and it helps us make optimal decisions.
00:44:32.620This is why you need as much vision field and peripheral vision as possible.
00:44:36.960Vision is so important to humans that almost half of our brain's capacity, 25% of all of the energy that we expend every day, is powering our eyes.
00:46:11.820You know, I'm not an expert in that area.
00:46:14.080I know what I do is I actually finish mine on grass.
00:46:19.900Southeast Colorado is, you're able to do that because our grass is so powerful.
00:46:24.960But as far as the labeling of grass-fed, you know, there are supposed mechanisms in there through the organic movement that would guarantee that.
00:46:38.320But, you know, I question that because isn't corn a grass?
00:47:17.380That is what I'm talking about through this carbon credit system that the USDA is coming out with.
00:47:24.240And I have ranchers that are neighbors that are participating in a program, a low-carbon credit program, through the USDA, getting paid to monitor their carbon emissions.
00:53:46.760And, you know, here we go again under the America the Beautiful executive order 14.008, the 30 by 30, you know, Biden's America the Beautiful plan is supposed to take control of all conservative 30 percent of the land and water and water by 2030 across the United States, only to be followed up by the U.N.
00:54:12.94050 by 50 by 50 resolution, you know, take conserve 50 percent of the water, the world's water and lands by 2050.
00:55:47.320I know that if you, you know, those management skills of those people I've often questioned because that's where really my advocacy started and was watching them try to manage my family.
01:02:19.960And the blood shed that these men and women, millions of men and women spilled their blood so we could sit here and talk like this without reprise, hopefully.
01:02:38.560The good news is, we know how it ends.
01:02:42.000I don't know what it's going to be like to get to that part, but evil is always conquered, and these rights are, they belong to him, not to us.
