Ep 22: April Roadtrip Recap (Texas to Virginia to Illinois)

Download MP3

We're in a very,
very special place tonight.

We're recording it Sunday night.

We're in Illinois.

And it's been a journey
once again here.

This dude calling himself
Texas Slim has gone

all over the country again
and we can't find him.

Where's Waldo?
Where's Texas Slim?

But it's been a hell of a
journey.

Last year,
I did this journey not like this

kind of rhymes to this year.

But what I didn't do is
I didn't film it.

It was reconnaissance.

I've told a lot of people this.

Today is going to be,
I don't know,

maybe some storytelling places
where we've been,

where we are
and where we're going.

I'm getting better
at telling stories.

I was talking to June,
our wonderful

executive producer
for Texas Times Media.

He's along on this trip.

He's the one that's
got the set up.

He's basically
increasing the production

value of everything that we do
within the beef initiative

for our ranchers,

for our producers,
for our farmers, for everybody

that basically is funneling
into the beef initiative.

June is our executive producer
that is raising that bar.

So everybody applaud.

Thank you, June.
Thank you, June.

Thank you, June.
But he's along for the ride.

And so we've been
obtaining equipment

throughout the last year,

ever since one year ago,
we were in Kerrville, Texas.

Whenever I said
that we were going to have that,

we're running for conferences
in one year.

Everybody thought I was crazy
and everybody basically

tried to talk me out of it
honestly.

And that's
the last thing you do with me,

is try to talk me out of it.

Whenever I was 19 years old,
I that year

that I moved to Austin,
a lot of people know that.

I've told that story many times.

I left small town Texas,
and I was looking for life.

I was full of wanderlust
and made it to Austin.

But that same 12 month period,
I headed up towards Maine

and there was a mountain up
there.

It's called Cadillac Mountain.

Y'all look it up
Mount Desert Island.

There's a rock up there
that you can sit on top of.

And if you

if you're the first person
on that rock,

first time in the morning,
you can be the first person

that sees that sunrise
in the United States.

I think this is probably
the 11th time

I've driven
across the United States

in different various forms

and fashions interstates, back
roads, dirt roads.

It doesn't really matter.
I've done it.

I know how to navigate
across this country.

I've been doing it all my life.

I had my license
when I was 15 years old

in the dirt roads of West Texas
outside of Canyon, Texas.

I've been basically
circumventing around this globe

ever since I was in my twenties.

And so everything that I do
is based on that wanderlust.

When I started the Beef
initiative,

I knew I couldn't
do it from behind

the digital screen, in which
I spent a lot of my career.

I knew that

I had to get back to the roots
in so many different ways.

One of those is driving across
this country in this year.

Last year was reconnaissance.

This year.

Well,
we're going to tell every story.

It's a fascinating story.

It's like Jack Kerouac,
cowboy style,

modern day cattle drive style.

There's a lot of new aspects
to this.

We're going to throw
in a little Baxter

Black little Johnny Cash.

So my role within the Beef
initiative is now truly is to be

the number one spokesperson
for the beef initiative.

The ranchers
producers are the ones

that are orchestrating
the beef initiative.

We meet, we talk,
we have these strategy sessions,

we learn pain points.

And I'm going to say
before we get started

on the storytelling

today of where we've been

the last couple of weeks
or last month, I guess, is

that every rancher producer
get your butt

into the beef initiative.

We're about saving
the great American rancher.

This is not about competition.

We want to hear from everyone
that is involved in agriculture,

not in any form
or fashion in the United States.

We're taking a stand.

We're not validating
the deceptions.

And we want to hear your story

because of that, because
we want to hear your story.

We don't want you to pay
for your story to be heard.

Here we are.

We're an outside of Shirley,
Illinois.

Is that a place
that's been here for 200 years?

Folks,
It is the source of the seed of

maybe grain within livestock
where at least we came from.

We're getting closer and closer.

200 years ago,
the Funk family came here

and it's called Funk Farms
and it's a trust now

and it's outside of Shirley,
Illinois.

This is where we're sitting.

They are modern day
cattle people, cattle

men and cattle, women.

They're carrying to carrying
their heritage along.

They're moving forward.

And they came all the way
from Illinois, drove

all the way to Virginia,
and they don't have time

nor the money,
nor the resources

to be gone for four days
in which

they were to come to Ginger
Hill,

come to the Ginger
Hill Angus Beef Initiative

Summit, which
will now be an annual summit.

But let's
start from the beginning

and then we'll end up back here.

So me and my boy went across

a couple of hemispheres

on to several continent
continents over two months.

A lot of y'all saw
that it was a rite of passage.

It's a rite of passage
for Finley, my son and myself,

a father and son,
keeping promises, getting away

from all of this pressure,
the crazy prohibition

that was

enforced on that generation,
the mindset of the generation

that had to sit at home
during COVID is criminal, that

it was created in the innocence
of our children.

And so this trip with
my son was a rite of passage

for him, saying, Hey,
you don't have to be afraid.

It's time to step up.

It's time to become a man.

And this is going to help
you give you a vision.

Your dad has a lot of whom
he's had a lot of them.

So come along.

But now we're finished
with that journey.

My son was damn tired of me.

I tell everybody that comes
into the beef initiative,

including my son.

If you all get in here,

get ready because you're going
to work your ass off.

And I mean that.

And then all you producers

and ranchers,
you're already doing that.

Well, let's work smarter,
not as hard.

And you're going to leverage

the beef initiative
and the voice that we're going

to give
the great American rancher

during these times

because it's needed and
we're at a precipice of time.

There's something
that needs to change.

This nation needs a voice.

But that voice is sometimes
from the basically the source

and how we got here,
how we got here.

It's the great
American rancher producer.

So me,

my son struck out from
West Texas, and we drove his El

Camino 1976, El Camino,
500 miles to Austin, Texas.

I dropped him off even to spend
some time with his friends.

And then I was off and
I was straight to the airport,

had to go pick up June,
and he flew in from Florida.

And then where do we have to go?

Well,
we had to go meet Justin Trammel

of Tear Balloon Panhandle meet
outside of Canyon, Texas.

Justin was the first rancher
that I shook hands with.

And what was he doing in Austin,
Texas?

Well, he's been there

while I was gallivanting around
the globe.

Justin was in Austin, Texas,
working with legislation,

working with Farm and Ranch
Freedom Alliance.

He's basically

leading

the passing of legislation
in that we have three laws

coming up in Texas.

They're market access laws.

Remember that? Market access?

I'm going to be saying that
for the next decade.

What is your market
access to clean food?

Ask yourself. Take a pause.

Ask yourself right now,

what is your market
access to clean food?

Who do you have to go through?

What hoops
do you have to go through?

What regulations are keeping
you from it?

What nefarious media
communications news programs,

doctors?

Who is stopping you

from having market access to the
best nutrition on the planet?

Because that's what we produce
in the United States.

No matter what we look like
as a nation in our health,

which it has been destroyed,
it is bankrupt.

We still produce the best food
in the world.

Who does that?

The regenerative
farmer and rancher,

especially those people that
have been around for 200 years.

So Justin and Jun did a podcast,
if you haven't seen it,

it's last week right there
in front of the Capitol.

And then we went down to Luling,
Texas, spent the night

and had some barbecue

and we went out there and
we met up with hometown meat.

Of course,

June and I, we were over there
to Barresi Ranch earlier

and we met up with Jason Clyde,
another podcast.

And you guys have seen

so what we're doing,
we're making the rounds.

Folks were giving the rancher
a voice in a way that nobody's

really been able to achieve
before

because we we're podcasting 2.0.

We're decentralized,
decentralized communications.

So Clyde, Jason,
we met up with Ronnie.

Oh, Bush, of course,

called Bolton County cattle
Hometown means second rancher.

I shook hands with Carl Bolton.

You're going to hear a lot more

from Carl Bolton,
that's for sure,

because he's running
one of the best

processing centers
in this nation.

He's had some painful times.

But guess what?

Justin and Coleman Justin run
in a micro processing center

up in the Panhandle,
the Texas Cobalt Bolton run

in a regional processing center
down there in Luling, Texas,

right next to Gonzales County,
most populated

county of cattle per capita
in the state of Texas.

It is basically

one of the founding counties
of the state of Texas.

Look it up.

It's historical, folks.

Well, we spent that
time down there in central Texas

when we embarked on the back
roads of Texas in June, captured

monumental amounts of footage
of the backroads of Texas

and how much land is out there

that the modern day
and the cattlemen of days gone

by are using,
regenerating, growing,

using the land tools,

some of the

most beautiful country,
some of the most beautiful cows.

Highway 21 all the way up,
all the way up to East Texas.

We spent and spent
the night there in East Texas.

Can't name remember where now.

And but I know
we were pointing to Arkansas

because we were going to go
and of course,

meet up with Todd, which I met
a year ago this was now the.

How many times have I seen Todd?

One, two, three.

I think this was the fourth
time.

And now what?

Tomorrow
we're pointing back to Arkansas.

But first we had to go
and have dinner with Todd.

He cooked up all bull that he
had there for about seven years.

And so we had beef intelligence.

We talked about the Ozark Beef
Initiative summit

that comes up on the fifth
and 6th of May this next week.

Today,
you're probably looking at this.

Hopefully it's Wednesday.

Get your butt to Prairie
Grove, Arkansas.

That's
where we're headed, folks.

And so John Todd, June, Ashley,
all of us,

we sat down there
and we gave grace,

we gave thanks,

and we talked about the journey
in which we came together.

All you ranchers and producers.

I didn't know Todd a year ago,

and now he's holding a summit
in his small town of Prairie

Grove, Arkansas.

There's meaning behind that.

This is not a marketing plan.

This is to help everybody regrow
their communities.

Todd's got speakers.

He's got people in his community
coming to this summit.

He organized it.

I didn't organize it.

That was last year.

The people that organize
this year

are the producers themselves,
and the beef initiative is there

to help, to instruct, to consult
and to advise and to support

and to bring a voice in a way
that has never been done off.

From Arkansas, we headed towards

Nashville, Tennessee, Tennessee,
see be finished of last year.

I met up with Rod, met up
with Josh, met up with Kim

Mills, met up with the crew,
their Bitcoin part.

I don't know how many times
I've been there,

but we've already had a summit
there.

Last year in October
it was December.

We're going to have a one
this year in October.

Nashville,
Make your plans, everybody.

You're going to be in Nashville
in October.

Tennessee Beef Initiative
Summit second annual one.

So get ready.

I spent a couple of days
there, did some editing.

I started doing that
little thing.

Think we started there
in Luling, Texas.

As I am Texas,
I'm checking in with Texas.

Sam So you guys go to Twitter,
check that at Modern Teen Man.

Start following you, getting
daily updates from here on out

every morning, 7:00 Central,
you're going to get an update

no matter where we are,
how ugly it is, how beautiful

it is,
how tired I am, whatever it is.

You guys are getting updates
from here on out

seven days
a week, Manatee, man on Twitter.

It's going to talk about where

we've been, where we are
and where we're going.

That's
exactly the story of my life.

And then it's making it
a story of your life.

And so from Nashville,
we headed out towards Virginia,

and basically
we spent the night,

I don't know, right
on the border of Tennessee.

And Carolina, I believe, wasn't
the same path I took last year

because we were just wanting
to get to Ginger Hill,

Ginger Hill, Angus, Doctor
Brooke Miller.

And and and what we did is
we were anticipating.

Have you all ever seen Virginia?

Have you ever seen
that part of Virginia?

It's not in the Shenandoah
Valley.

It's a little bit removed,
about 70 miles.

Some of the oldest parts of this
country, Washington, Virginia.

I said it before and I misspoke.

It's the first township
that ever called itself

Washington in the United States.

I think
you've seen some footage.

You're going to see some footage

as you're watching this podcast
of everything that transpired.

We've got so many hours
of footage and one person

that really stepped up
was Bitcoin shooter.

Michael showed up,
flew all the way from L.A.,

didn't get paid a dime

because the beef initiative
is about volunteers

that are getting value
for value exchange.

He showed up at Ginger

Hill Angus,
and he filmed the whole thing.

We've got the interviews
with Dr.

Robert Malone and Dr.

Sabine Hazen.

We have, of course,

brought Brooke Miller, everybody
that was involved

with the Beef Initiative
Summit at Ginger Hill.

We have it on video
and we're going to be releasing

it's going to be part
of a documentary, maybe a movie.

I don't know.

We got some people
starting to pay attention to us.

Finally, one person there was
John John of Epoch Times.

He came a day
basically the morning of

and he spent time with me
and he talked

and then he invited me to do
American thought leaders in D.C.

that following Monday.

So we had a lot of people there.

We had a lot
of great discussions.

We had a nation coming together
right there at Ginger

Hill, Angus US Cattlemen's
Association, in which Brooke

just now finished his tenure
as president, we had Leah.

She's basically asking
and we're in negotiations

for the Beef Initiative

and the US Cattlemen's
Association to partner up now,

we had people coming from
better Fed feeds.

We had the funk fam, we had
Brian and Carrie come from

farms.

As I told you, they drove
all the way out there, sat

right there in the front
and listened to everyone speak.

We had a cattlemen's feast
that we're putting on

and holding across this nation.

If you guys want a cattlemen's
feast,

go to definition the dot com.

Contact us.

Let us know we're bringing it.

We're going to bring it across
this nation.

It's a workshop.
We cut up a cow.

You learn cuts of the cow, Texas
limbs, cuts.

It's come in strong working on
product design with cobalt.

And right now in there
and just some surprises

coming down that cattle
drive path.

So Ginger Hill, the workshop,
the Cattlemen's

Feast,
everybody absolutely loved it.

Buckshot was his name
and I appreciate him.

And we honored him.

Some of the best beef folks,
the best beef in the world

comes through the gates
of the beef initiative.

Brooke Miller, his ranch,

generational generations
and generations of people

that have stewarded beef
intelligence in this nation.

It's what you are yearning for.

Folks quit trying so hard
not to pay attention.

Quit trying so hard

not to basically share
this podcast 100 times.

I dare you, because
this is about intentionality

you living right now.

This is a bigger cause
than any of us

basically hearing this voice, me
speaking,

Anybody that you share this
with, this is a movement.

This is not a marketing plan.

This is not a 12 second
Tik Tok video.

This is not an Instagram short.

What some LARPing

influencer talking
about how he's a carnivore.

This is about saving
children's lives.

This is a health initiative

that is being led
by the great American rancher.

This is a health initiative
that is being led

by the great American rancher.

Make no bones about it.

This is serious business.

But you know what?

We're going to make it love,
caring, authentic,

full of integrity, transparency,
everything

that everybody's yearning for,
they just don't know it.

We're bringing health back
to this nation.

And the great American rancher
is going to be the first one

that starts
saving children's lives.

We had all kinds of great

talks at the summit,
and then on Sunday,

we even battled a rainstorm
came through there.

Everybody, not a soul left.

We finished off the night
with a lot of grace,

a lot of gratitude,
a wonderful cattlemen's feast.

And on Sunday, we did rest.

We rested as a family.

Brooke and Amanda, Matt

Hodge,
everybody that we met there.

I'm sorry if I'm leaving.

Yeah,
there's a lot of big names,

but your family now,

the part of the beef initiative,

and they're going to be
a strong voice

for the great American rancher
Brooke Miller has been yelling

from the freaking mountaintop
for ten years.

Everybody share this podcast.

Get it out there.

This is a call to action.

And that's what I said
during the speech.

And you're going to be able
to see that

if you go to the Substack Texas
one dot substack dot com,

you'll be able to see a 12
minute basically video clip,

but you're
going to be able to see more.

After we rested.

We were off to DC Monday
morning at 6:00 and who

practice travel pack
well and did

she took us in she sent us off
and she said hit the road,

be safe
and let's get going boys.

And that's what we did.

John was waiting for us
in DC at one

on one Constitution Avenue.

We did a little Hi,

I'm checking in with Texans,
so I'm right there in

front of the nation's capital.

And then we went up and John
basically was a wonderful host.

We had about two
and a half hours

we spent with him
about an hour and a half.

I believe that our article that
interview will be coming out.

American thought leaders,
they've had Dr.

Sabina Hasan on it.

They've had Robert Kennedy
Jr just finished.

If you all heart

paying attention

that part times in American
thought leaders with you on

you need to get there right now
go subscribe pay attention

there are clean news
organization

they're grassroots just like the
US Cattlemen's Association,

just like the beef initiative.

We're all grassroots here

and we're working and we're
collaborating together.

Thank you. John Epoch Times.

American Thought Leaders Can't
Wait to see the Interview.

Hopefully I did.

Did it justice
for basically the beef

initiative and all the ranchers
that we're producing.

After DC,
we went off to West Virginia

and I'm going to name off
some names here.

We have not been without beef,
regenerative beef, the best

beef in the world
since we left West Texas,

traveling in a pickup truck.

I don't know how many steaks
that I've cooked on the tailgate

with my propane burger.

Me and June sitting out there
at the pocket night

cutting board that actually Todd
and Todd made for me

from Wood of his ranch
and actually a lot of water

out of his home
in which he grew with.

It's been there for a long dang
time.

I'm not going to

say any dates,
but it's I'd say over 100 years,

just like everything out there,
Ginger Hill,

just like Funk Farms, 200 years.

But anyways, we've got into West
Virginia, which we stepped on

over the border of into Maryland
and we found some beef at.

Let me look here it is

to see there's so much beef that
I can't remember all the names

and I'm
always calling people out.

If you're going to show people

beef online,
you better talk about it.

So anyways, we went off
and we found Needwood Farms

and right out there in Maryland,
Needwood Farms,

fantastic beef.

They were suspect of old Texas
lamb.

They didn't know what to
think of me. But you know what?

We got some beef.

They fed us.
We had a good story.

They even have

a small processing
plant out there called Wagner.

So see, folks,

there's people
there's communities

that have been doing this
for a long time.

You need to create your market
access.

You need

to turn off the Netflix,
turn off the TV where you stand.

You start
doing your own reconnaissance,

you get out there,
you find out where

those processing centers are.

You find out
if they have processing centers.

You find out who those ranchers
and producers are,

and you go shake their hands

and you say, Will you educate me
what is going on here?

What do you need from me?
What do you need

from your community?
Let's do this together.

This is a collaboration.

Have you heard of the beef
initiative?

Let's get your butt in there.

We've only had three ranchers
that I asked to be

in the beef initiative.

Everybody else has put
themselves in there voluntarily

because they heard it.

Because they heard grass roots,

grass fed,
and they heard word of mouth.

They had some handshakes
that it went on.

So you folks do
the same. It's a call to action.

You are now the marketing arm
of the great American rancher,

just like Needwood Farms there
in Maryland using Wagner

Processing Center.

So we've been eating well
and we kind of hung

out in the sticks
there in West Virginia.

Mountain Mama had a
really good, nice day there,

wonderful little

place called the train Station,
and it was out of cash.

What is that place?

You know, that real famous place
in West Virginia

that everybody loves is Harpers
Ferry, of course.

So it's close to Harpers Ferry,

very beautiful
part of the country.

You guys ever been in West
Virginia?

You need to get there.
They got some good beef.

Anyways,
we kind of got rested up there

in West Virginia,
and then we headed off to Ohio.

Don't even know where we stayed

in Ohio,
but we were outside of Columbus.

It was more of a working
overnight stay.

We're very busy.
Lots of phone calls.

Didn't have much time
to even get the camera out.

But we did do a checking
and checking in with Texas.

Remember,
get on Twitter daily, check ins,

share it, share
those with everybody.

Let's get going.

Let's make this basically
a live stream

the rest of the year,
because this is this is the year

the great American
rancher has a voice from Ohio.

We went to Indiana.

I ended up on a county square
just by chance, and

it was called Nobles in place,
Covington, Covington, Indiana.

Wonderful little Airbnb there.

Stayed the night, did
another check in County Square.

Looks a lot like canyon, Texas.

Guess what?
We had some more beef.

Had it on the tailgate,
had it in

the kitchen,
had it for breakfast.

We haven't done without.

And I'm traveling on the road

and everybody asked me,
How do you do this, Slim?

How do you travel on the road?

Well, it's not that hard.

Whenever you go out and shake
ranchers hands,

everybody always say, well,
I can't find a rancher.

Well, I found I don't know
how many on this trip,

how long we got just in travel.

We got coal bolts
and we got Jason, We got Clyde.

Who else do we have?
We've got him.

And it's unlimited, folks.

No more excuses.

No more rationalization.

No more justification.

Get this party started.

It's a modern day
cattle drive from Indiana.

We ended up gas where Park

Farms 1824.

Brian and Carrie came to Ginger
Hill.

Fascinating story.

Look it up. Go to their website.

I'm going to do a challenge here
and I you you call farms

and you ask them say,
hey, I can't be there in person.

And if you can come in person,

come in person,
because it's a beautiful place.

As you can see,
this is just a small part of it.

They've got history
on the walls.

They got history in the soil.

They got a history in the beef,
got a retail front,

they got milk,
they got beef bacon,

they got honey,
they got maple sirup.

They've got
I think it's called a food shed,

food locker,
whatever it is, It's a community

that's being supported
by their local rancher, producer

that's been here for 200 years.

It's called Heritage
folks. It's called culture.

It's called legacy.

It's called market access
that you can create for yourself

and for your children.

Quit allowing your children

to eat the deceptions,
Quit validating the deceptions.

This place has proof for work
200 years

that they are survived
the manipulation of the seed,

the genetically modified,
the bioengineered,

the chemical, multinational,
chemical and grain companies.

Guess what?

They're still here.
They're still feeding.

They're still

feeding from the soil
in which where they came from.

You should see the soil here.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

It has a density,
dark color to it.

I wish West Texas
looked like that,

but it doesn't anymore.

But it does right here,
because I've been doing

something right for 200 years.

You guys want to know
how to do it?

You guys regenerative

that clean food, clean living,
clean farming, ranching.

You want to know about it?

Give them the call.

Call up foreign farms.

Ask them.

They got a museum here, too.

Actually, there's a museum here.

So you know what?

You can spend the weekend here.

They got lodging.
That's what we're doing.

They don't have lodging
on the farm.

Maybe we can make that happen
one of these days.

But what are we going, folks?

Are we going to do it together?

We did an
interview with Brian yesterday.

We had dinner, we broke bread.

We didn't have any bread.

We had a tenderloin and a big,
big pecan yet.

Do y'all know
what a bacon you cut is on?

Let me tell you a story. Bacon.

You cut supporters
of the back in there.

Okay. But you know what?
The butcher is usually do?

They usually don't sell
the bacon.

You cut back in the day.

They kept it for themselves.

Some of the best beef
you're going to have,

you know,
you're how you're going

to find that through Texas Slims
cuts.

We're going to reeducate
everybody

of what you've been missing
all this years.

And I'm going to start
saying something.

Will you reason you don't know
that corn.

You've only bought your beef

from the supermarket
now, haven't you?

Once you

ask the right questions,
you don't

have to ask the right questions.

You already know because you're
in the beef finished.

And you you're actually being
educated by Texas Slims cuts,

maybe old butch,
maybe old farms,

maybe the 160 true producers
and ranchers that are soon to be

I don't know.

We're going to open up
10,000 gates across this country

so we can what

so we could what?

So we can feed a million
children in this nation.

That's the call to action.

It's always been that way.

We're going to consult,
we're going to educate.

We're going to check
each other's hands.

We're going to have dinner
with each other.

We're going to have
conversations.

We're going to say

no to the Division
of Interpersonal communication.

We're going to speak louder.

We're going to speak
with confidence.

We're not going to be guests

working around beef
intelligence,

because the best beef
intelligence is coming

right straight
through the beef initiative,

because what are we doing
sitting right here?

We're giving media kits
to ever rancher producer

that opens up their gate
across the United States.

It's a challenge.

I've been
doing this my whole life.

If you've got
something that you want to say,

if you've got something special,
if you've got history

that's been here for hundreds
of centuries

of education
that lies within these walls,

you ranchers and producers,

if you're doing something
that is truth in food,

authentic, is based
in integrity, transparency,

and you want people
to know who you are,

you want to have
that digital voice

that they have made sure
that you have never had

to be finished.

It's Texas Slims Media.

It's people like June
executive producer.

One year ago,

one year ago,
he was in Philadelphia.

Now he lives in Florida.

And guess what?

There's a Florida
beef initiative now.

And ranchers, Leonard,
you can about to hear

a lot more about Florida.

They're selling beef.

They're
building their community.

Ron and Kerry here.

They're
going to have a summit here.

Don't know when, but it's locked
in and it's got an airport.

It's got an interstate,

it's got lodging,
and it's going to be loaded

with all kinds of beef
intelligence.

We're cooking on the tailgate.

We're driving.

Now, where are we pointing
or pointing?

Back to Arkansas.

All right.

Ozark Beef Initiative, Summit
15 six, Prairie Grove, Arkansas.

Todd, Todd.

Wow, what a beautiful,
beautiful human being.

And I'm a much better person
for getting to meet him.

And I owe him.

I owe him.

I'm forever indebted.

I have an obligation to be
his voice, because guess what?

Our producers

and ranchers don't have a voice
because you don't know.

But now
they're going to know you

and you are going to know them

because you are
now their marketing arm.

Every time
you have a conversation

about food,
you're going to bring up

your American rancher producer.

Every time you talk
about beef online

and on the Internet,
on social media,

you're going to bring up your
great American rancher, producer

and if you don't have one,

you're going to be bringing up
the beef initiative.

You're going to go find one.

This is about

saving children's lives
across this nation, folks.

And I'm going to get very loud
and very stern.

I'm going to get a little cowboy
on you from West Texas.

A little history about me.

Never had any money.

All I had was a wealth
of knowledge

when it came to basically
handshakes.

Look at a man
or woman in the eye

and being full of integrity
because of my grandpa. So

this is what this place is.

This is what this nation wants.

This is what this nation is is
inviting you to participate in.

You don't have to ask
for permission.

You can lead forward
with integrity

in what you're going to do
is you're going to follow this.

It's the modern day cattlemen,
and each one of us is learning

how to be the modern day
cattlemen and cattle.

Woman.

It's the type of beef
intelligence.

It's the type of health intelligence that our kids deserve.

Turn off the TV,

Get busy.

I dare you to share this
a hundred times, everyone.

If we get 10,000 ranchers
to open up the gates

of the United States of America,

we will basically change history
within the beef industry.

It's word of mouth.

It's based on integrity,
honesty, transparency.

It's not judgment.

This is not competition.

Ranchers and producers,

that's basically
what they started in 1971.

We're not going to play that
game.

This is a collaboration.

We're all one big family.

We're going to act like it.

What we're going to do
is we're going to join forces

at the dinner tables

within our counties,
within our regions,

within our state
and across this nation.

Once we do that
will basically shift this global

industrial food shift
that is unfolding in front of us

and will stop it in its tracks.

Your consumer demand
is the reason they are able to

basically facilitate the changes
within our food industry.

Take ownership of that.

It's a slow step
into changing your behavior

when it comes
to your consumption

model of your audio
and your video and your food.

It's okay. Slow step into it.

Start with your rancher.

Start with that handshake.

Once we leave Arkansas, we're
going to go back to West Texas.

We're going to be filming almost
a mini documentary back there.

Y'all want to come to West Texas

where
you're going to be coming there

because we're going to establish
something there

right outside of Panhandle meat.

We've got our first client

within the Beef
Initiative Association Council.

We're starting to build
processing centers across Texas.

Y'all
going to come along for a ride.

You will learn how to do it.

Go to TBI,
Acey dawg, figure it out.

We're here.

We're going to be consulting,

we're going to be

bringing truth and food back.

And then after that,
we're going to go to Colorado

and see Jason
and Rick of Rick Ranches.

Do you know, he's
a first generational educator.

He's one of the best educators
in regenerative

farming and ranching
that I know.

Guess what?

He gets a grant this year.

It's a $10,000 grant
to stop everything right now.

Everything go to be finished,
dot com forward slash donation.

Get in there and see what
that is.

It's a basically a grant program
that is a nonprofit.

It's a nonprofit money.

Guess what I believe Brooke
Miller and Miller, everybody,

they're going to donate to it.

Why do you think they had their
summit there in Ginger Hill

so they could give to
all of the nonprofits?

They they feel they didn't
make any money off of that.

They opened up their gates.

They met new people.

They got some new beef
intelligence.

They spread beef intelligence

further
and wider across this nation.

The only thing they gained
was basically

they didn't gain
any monetary value.

Yet what they did is they sold
a little bit of their legacy.

Jason Rick.

Well, he wants to do the same
first generational kiss, $10,000

grant this year.

Let's get it funded folks

Beef initiative dot
com for slash donation.

We're going
to go out to Colorado

I believe my good friend Bubba,
which is the first person

to ever share
the harvest of deception.

Have y'all read
The Harvest of Deception?

Well, you need to get there
and read it.

But he basically spread it out

and he got me
on my first podcast ever.

Well, he's going to come
to Colorado with this.

It's going to be one big party.

We're going to have Bubba,
his lovely wife.

We're going to have June. Me.

Jason's going to be there.

Jason's Family is going to be
there.

We're going to have drone
footage coverage.

Y'all ever know what needle rock
is? Look it up.

It's right
there in the North Fork Valley

outside of Crawford, Colorado.
We're heading there next, I

guess, where this

party ends on this leg of this
tour of this journey.

Well, we're
heading back to Austin, Texas,

and we're going to go

wrap it up full circle
there, hometown mates.

And we'll start back off
from panhandle

mates
and charge up with old Justin.

We might even take Justin back
with this.

Maybe
legislation will be back in.

But anyways, Panhandle Meats
hometown meat

processing center is the center
of the universe, folks.

That's where all our beef comes
through. The beef initiative.

You know what our goal is
this year?

I'll be straight up honest
and transparent with you.

We're going
to sell the most beef

that we can through the beef
initiative.

Texas Slims
cuts, K and C, cattle.

Holy cow.

Jason. Rick of Rick Ranches.

Justin Trammell, Panhandle
Made's Tare bloom handle.

Guess what? Frank Farms trusts.

Everybody is in the beef
initiative.

We're going to gather around

and we're going to sell more
beef than the multinationals

and what they're going
to start paying attention

because they're going
to start learning from us.

This is how you feed
your community.

So say now quit
validating the deceptions,

get into the beef initiative,

and I'm going to get very loud
because I'm Texas.

Slim. Are you?

Hey, guys.
