There's so many. Yeah. But I think even some of those people, and I'm not saying that all of the attributes I just mentioned and apply to Neil deGrasse Tyson. But, but that's some of those, some of those people are now updating on UFOs. And it's wild because like you have a documentary, you know, The Age of Disclosure, where all these high-ranking intel people are saying UFOs are real repeatedly in front of a chalkboard, saying they are real, take my word for it. And it's bludgeoning you basically to a point where you're like, okay, they're probably not like lying to me, you know. And so, and then you end up with Neil deGrasse Neil deGrasse Tyson being like, look, okay, this is an overwhelming amount of accounts now. Now I'm, you know, I do think there's probably something here and we should look into it. And it's like, dude, you weren't doing science before. What is all it took, a documentary?
Jesse Michels — The Joe Rogan Experience · #2545 - Jesse Michels · 2026-08-25This is the Fox News Rundown Extra. I'm Jessica Rosenthal. In an effort to address high beef prices, President Trump says they will boost imports by temporarily allowing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to enter the country tariff-free. The cost of burgers, steaks, and other beef products has suffered from sticky inflation due in large part to a nationwide cattle shortage. Before the president's announcement, we spoke with Nate Rempe, president and CEO of Omaha Steaks, and Steve Lucie, a 5th-generation farmer in Illinois. We discussed the cattle shortage, pressures on the industry, and Tyson Foods, one of the Big Four meatpacking companies, and their announcement that they're ending operations at their Jocelyn, Illinois beef facility and their Eagle Mountain, Utah case-ready facility. They're also selling a facility in Pasco, Washington. Both guests share their perspectives on the challenges facing the beef industry and what they say can be done to help consumers and producers. We couldn't fit both full conversations into our midweek version of The Rundown, so today On the Fox News Rundown Extra, you'll hear both extended interviews. First, we'll hear from Nate Rempe, but stay tuned right after that for our conversation with Steve Lucey. Thanks for listening. If you don't already, please follow the weekday Fox News Rundown podcast. Now here's Nate Rempe on the Fox News Rundown Extra. Tell me your reaction to hearing— I mean, Tyson announces it's ending operations at, it sounds like, two facilities, one in Illinois, one in Utah. And they're gonna effort to sell this facility in Pasco, Washington. Mm-hmm. Is this, is this quite a hit? Is this, is this, is this a lot?
Jessica Rosenthal — The Fox News Rundown · Extra: Where’s the Beef? The Real Reasons Behind Skyrocketing Prices · 2026-08-22I do. I mean, there are three pillars in the beef supply chain. The first is the rancher and the feedlot operator. I mean, their responsibility in the supply chain is to, uh, to raise the animal, and to sell it to market. The middle pillar is the packer and the processor, and their responsibility is to buy the live animal, to harvest it, and to provide that boxed beef— I guess is a way to put it— to the retailer. And then the retailer carries that forward to, to the customer. For many, many years in this country, the rancher and the feedlot operator were not in the optimal position in that supply chain because there were more cattle, or at least call it sufficient cattle, to address the processing capacity in the middle of the supply chain. The last couple years, 2.5 years or so, you know, we've been talking about the cattle shortages, the herd size reduction, that has shifted the, you know, sort of the power, if you will, has moved into the hands of the rancher and the feedlot operator as the capacity in the middle was in excess and demand in retail was strong. The rancher and the feedlot operator could sell the live animal to market at very healthy prices and were able to, you know, make a better margin on the live animal. And in the middle, the packer and the processor had this excess capacity with not enough live animals, uh, to keep these facilities running efficiently. So the reduction of processing capacity that is happening in this country now is a right-sizing step to try to lower the processing costs in the middle of the supply chain in order to bring the rancher feedlot operator processor balance back in check. Of sorts. Now, this is going to lead us to a conversation about how does that impact the end consumer. And the truth is, is that it really will not lower beef prices to the consumer in grocery stores, for example. If anything, the market will continue to stay high, if not even increase slightly. So all of the changes that were announced recently that Tyson has, has done and other packers have done to reduce processing capacity are not going to lower the cost of beef for America.
Nate Rempe — The Fox News Rundown · Extra: Where’s the Beef? The Real Reasons Behind Skyrocketing Prices · 2026-08-22I was going to ask, I was going to ask what you guys were doing. So thank you for that. You know, what is interesting here, though, is beef prices keep going up. Um, but it looks like the likes of Tyson and Cargill are reporting pretty significant losses in recent quarters. They say they're losing money. When you see that, what do you think that means as the Big Four are under investigation for antitrust violations?
Jessica Rosenthal — The Fox News Rundown · Extra: Where’s the Beef? The Real Reasons Behind Skyrocketing Prices · 2026-08-22Yeah, I, I know what it means. It means that, uh, the same thing that it means in, in the, in the plants that I operate to process the end product. It's that plants run best when they're busy, quote unquote. It's just that simple. You know, Tyson and JBS and the other, you know, beef packers across the country increased their capacity dramatically around the COVID timeframe. You know, they opened plants, they opened processing capacity, and then the herd size decreased and that processing capacity went unutilized. And it's just not sustainable. You know, when you have a massive, you know, harvesting packing plant, the way that that plant makes sense is to, to quote, keep knives moving, is to keep product moving through the fabrication floor and to process the animals through the facility. And when there aren't enough cattle to move through the facility, you start to see the types of losses that these organizations have experienced because they relied on the idea that to work at sort of efficient levels, they needed economies of scale. That's what's behind the losses and the impact to the packer is the, the fact that that pillar in the supply chain is all about scale and volume. Hundreds of thousands of head, you know, being processed per week is required in order for that to work efficiently and in an optimum fashion.
Nate Rempe — The Fox News Rundown · Extra: Where’s the Beef? The Real Reasons Behind Skyrocketing Prices · 2026-08-22And so, As I mentioned, ingenuity, finding ways to create value and extending that value to our customers is what we're doing at Omaha Steaks. And we've been through this before, 109 years. We've seen two world wars, we've seen moon landings, we've seen pandemics. It's not really all that scary when you take a step back and you think, I'm going to zoom out and recognize that, you know, this, this whole issue of increasing beef costs has happened before in this country, and, uh, and we find a way through it. And we're gonna, we're gonna provide value in any way we can to our customers. And I'm sure my competition and other people in the, in the space providing beef to America, we're going to do the same thing. And as a country, we're going to find a way through this. And I think things that Tyson and the other packers are doing is just a part of that process of trying to run an efficient business. And, you know, if you've got too much capacity, you have to, you have to lower that capacity. It's just sort of the reality of the situation, especially if you just recently increased it and the, you know, the factors in the space have changed. And, you know, I think if, if anything, we'll look back a couple years from now and there'll be learnings from it. Um, but we will look back a couple years from now as a healthy industry, just as we have before, as we make the changes necessary to continue to make sure that beef is at the center of place, center of plate on, you know, dinner tables across the country.
Nate Rempe — The Fox News Rundown · Extra: Where’s the Beef? The Real Reasons Behind Skyrocketing Prices · 2026-08-22We thank Omaha Steaks CEO and President Nate Rempe. Now here's our conversation with 5th generation farmer Steve Lucie on the Fox News Rundown Extra. So Steve, tell me, when you hear about a major company like Tyson ending its operations, I'm reading here in Jocelyn, Illinois, and the Eagle Mountain, Utah, Case Ready facility, they're also selling a facility in Pasco, Washington. You hear that. What's— what was your initial reaction to hearing they're closing this much?
Jessica Rosenthal — The Fox News Rundown · Extra: Where’s the Beef? The Real Reasons Behind Skyrocketing Prices · 2026-08-22Well, so that's simply just from transportation, let's say. You know, if we were going to take cattle to Jocelyn to have processed, now people are going to have to go another 400 to 500 miles to get a market that was similar to that. So you're talking about easily $50 per head more in transportation cost that goes directly to the rancher or the feedlot person. Like Tyson doesn't care if it costs you $50 a head to transport those cattle from Illinois out west to a different facility. So the person that are buying my calves off the farm to then feed them, they have to reduce their price to me, because they know it's going to cost them more to get to a processing plant. Now, hopefully, that'll all alleviate over, you know, over some time. But the initial impact is pretty bad because people have, people have beef that are ready to go out the door like today. So what are they going to do with those animals? They're going to have to take a loss, or they're going to take less. I don't know about a loss. They're going to take less. Some of them might take a loss because I don't know what they've got in that, that animal.
