Jay TruittGUEST
don't talk to me about it.
Trent LoosHOST
For example, and I don't have time to tell this story, Tyson did sell its building in Lexington, Nebraska.
Trent LoosHOST
And I talked to a guy who went in there and was taking the parts out.
Trent LoosHOST
And two weeks before they shut the doors, they bought a $20 million, $20 million building.
Austin SchroederGUEST
Yeah, it definitely has some, uh, basis, uh, implications there obviously with, with the North and the South being a little bit spread.
Austin SchroederGUEST
You know, the North's been, been kind of weaker here but, you know, as it relates to, that's, that's kind of where a lot of the cattle are and, you know, just from a, uh, uh, the, the standpoint of, of where some of these plant closures have been, right? You've seen, uh, you know, obviously the Lexington, Nebraska plant close, and then you've seen some, some plants over east, uh, kind of close as well.
Austin SchroederGUEST
And, you know, that's gonna kind of shift some of those eastern cattle towards some of those more, more northern, uh, uh, plants over in, you know, like, uh, you know, just, uh, north, uh, or, uh, excuse me, Sioux City, I believe is, is one, or Dakota City.
Austin SchroederGUEST
I can't, uh, so- somewhere over there.
Dan OsbornGUEST
No, no, this is a massive mistake.
Dan OsbornGUEST
I was up Saturday night, probably way too late, talking to a rancher out by Lexington, Nebraska, where they just closed.
Dan OsbornGUEST
Tyson just closed a beef manufacturing plant.
Dan OsbornGUEST
6% of the nation's beef came out of that plant, and Tyson just closed it, putting 3,500 Nebraskans out of jobs.
Dan OsbornGUEST
We got to rely on them to increase our herds.
Dan OsbornGUEST
And this beef deal undercuts them directly.
Dan OsbornGUEST
So they're, you know, the guy I was talking to out in Lexington, he's very frustrated with this deal.
Dan OsbornGUEST
And he's a three-time Trump voter.
Michael BrownHOST
Tyson actually lost money on beef last year, and they've told their investors, according to their SEC filings, to expect hundreds of millions more in beef losses this year.
Michael BrownHOST
In January, Tyson shut down a plant in Lexington, Nebraska that could kill about 5,000 head a day.
Michael BrownHOST
They cut their Amarillo, Texas plant to one shift.
Michael BrownHOST
Together, that's like almost 9% of the country's beef processing capacity is just gone.

Hey, Mike, you just mentioned one of the packing plants closing in Lexington, Nebraska.
speaker_25AUDIENCE
I grew up about 15 miles south of there, so I'm pretty familiar with that area and the whole ruckus around that getting closed this year.
Brian Tyler CohenHOST
Where do you stand on that issue?
Dan OsborneGUEST

Dan OsborneGUEST
They work with the other, there are four meat packers that have formed a monopoly.
Dan OsborneGUEST
They work with the other ones.

Michael, I have a theory, and it's fairly simple, but I think these would-be terrorists in the UK that were caught and then released for lack of evidence, my suspicion is they planned it that way so that we wouldn't be able to find the evidence to put them away.
DragonHOST
What do you think about that theory? Hey, Mike, you just mentioned one of the packing plants closing in Lexington, Nebraska.
DragonHOST
I grew up about 15 miles south of there, so I'm pretty familiar with that area and the whole ruckus around that getting closed this year.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
Michael, have you heard that apparently a significant number of cold Americans would favor this idea where we basically eliminate Israel, Give the Palestinians a state and the price of gas will come down so we won't have to pay so much for gas.
Stephen BanksGUEST
We need to have...
Stephen BanksGUEST
The Lexington plant, the Tyson plant, Lexington, Nebraska, right? Right.
Stephen BanksGUEST
Okay.
Stephen BanksGUEST
That's 3,200 employees in a town of 11,000.
Stephen BanksGUEST
Or we measure...
Stephen BanksGUEST
Our measurement is efficiency, okay? We worship at the altar of efficiency.
Stephen BanksGUEST
Okay, so when I go into Lexington, Nebraska last February, just after the Tyson plant was closed, I talked to a realtor, okay? The realtor said, I cannot sell a house now because we're expecting property values to fall 20-30 percent and banks won't write mortgages.
Stephen BanksGUEST
The question is, as we look at this word efficiency, the question is efficient for who? I think that we need to be very careful here.
