is purged from the system and cattle producers, america s cattle ranchers are suffering as a result. we have complete disconnect between the valley of beef consumers buy in the grocery store and value of cattle that cattle producers receive. price points are moving in opposite direction. beef prices skyrocketing and cattle producers, americans, ranchers are receiving depressed prices in the marketplace. and meat packers destroy profit as result. they are fighting hard to make sure no changes are made. we filed a class action anti-trust lawsuit alleging four largest packers conspired to artificially inflate beef prices consumers pay. this is a serious problem. our industry is in crisis for seven years, at which time we realized disconnect between value of beef and cattle.
what happens? a progressive group puts out poll tested messaging and says here s what you do to fight back. you just blame all of the private sector for being greedy. and they tried it with the energy company. now they are trying it with meat. i m not saying that there isn t a problem especially when it comes to the producers, like the cattle ranchers. that is a problem, i do think, that s one of the things that both the trump administration and the biden administration are looking into. but when it comes to consumer prices, all these other things fall into it. you have got to get the cows to market. you have got to get the trucks fueled. all of that stuff adds up. packaging is more expensive. the supply chain, all of that happens. if you ever wondered how the democrats get on one on the same page and they are all singing from the same song sheet it s because you have a poll tested thing that goes out greed. that s it, go out and talk about greed. geraldo: every morning. dana: la
