- Capitalism-and low prices-depend on consumers having choices. The four conglomerates controlling 80% of American meat packing are hiking prices and forcing out small businesses. Rep. Katie Porter sat down with Rep. Cindy Axne to discuss Axne's bill to fix this broken market, boost competition, and lower costs for families.
I wished everyone in the government did their job like Katie porter. She is the best. I can’t express how much I appreciate her.
100% agree! Our future Speaker of the House.
And hooray for Cindy working with Katie to get things done.
Well her district didn't appreciate her enough to keep her. She's out in January. Adam Schiff won the primary. It is a HUGE loss for the American people.
Love Katie Porter!! My wife and I live in Iowa! Katie Porter for PRESIDENT!!! My granddaughters are in 4H !
Why on earth is this not being talked about on a national stage I want more of this on the #news!!! 😒 #CNN #FOX #MSNBC get it together 👏 👏 👏
Katie and Cindy, thank you so much for caring about us and coming up with a viable solution for consumers! Katie, you rock! Cindy I don't know much about you, but if Katie has got your back then so do I. Thank you for working so hard!
I find such comfort in Katie's intelligence, eloquence, and most of all her willingness to do everything in her power to help real people.
@Tyg that's what they are all supposed to be like but education in America has diminished so much that the populace votes like they did in high school. It's a popularity contest, only with a lot more money.
Thank you Katie and Cindy.
Thank you so much, ladies! KATIE RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Thank you for having the backs of our food producers and their consumers. So many kinds of businesses need to be broken up this way. If we can get both sides together on this issue, imagine the benefits to our citizens!
Awesome job ladies. I agree with your thought processes. Rep. Porter, when are you running for President?
We need more Katie Porters. She's my hero.
Ladies, thank you for being so knowledgeable & for working on this legislation to help protect American consumers & small farmers.👍🏽🥰
Thank you for this informative video and excellent explanation of the bill. Appreciate that Katie Porter is always fighting for the consumer.
Can we please have some election reform?! I’m so tired of these big companies deciding who gets to run for office and then how OUR representatives vote on bills like these afraid they’re going to lose campaign funds from Cargil!!
Thank you both for educating us on this important legislation and being specific about how it can help small business and consumers. Also, thank you for mentioning food safety. Hopefully, a smaller local business with connections to their consumers might not be so quick to cut corners and risk the possibility of losing consumer confidence.
Hello 👋 Cindy. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Thank you for your work!
I love this! I wish the FDA would require grains, flours, rice, things that usually have bugs, insect eggs, worms etc. to flash freeze them upon harvest to remove those insects that harm our food quality! Thank you. Rebecca from Kansas
I love Katie she is so insightful and really has a strong desire to genuinely help people and so often she finds ways to really impact her constituents but also help a wide swath of Americans as well. I don't have much faith this will pass, while there may be GOP co sponsers of the bill if McConnel or Trump says a single negative thing about it then they will drop that support faster than their support for Democracy, and their patriotism.
AAA!!!! I'm from Iowa. I forgot you were and thank you for this act.
Katie Porter is the demonstration of the kind of Public Servant that offers integrity & insight on better choices that benefit the Greater Good! Time to end the many who serve the few that has People paying more for less! Not only critical analysis but positive resolutions! Imagine if All the legislators in US were like her!!!! 🍴💧🇺🇲🌎
When you go to the store, the middle is filled with sugary, high fructose corn syrup laced products. Even the fish and meat choices are frequently limited to China unhealthy farmed fish, and finding healthy raised and processed meat and poultry products requires dedicated looking. Thank you!
The nutrition research makes it clear that many of the lifestyle diseases of modern living would be greatly reduced or eliminated if we removed animal products from our diet. Meat isn't healthy.
I bet even after Katie is advocating for free market capitalism, competition, and fighting for consumers the right will still scream "socialist!"
Oh you know they will. ☹️
Yup
Thanks for explaining how this affects us in our every day life. When you're busy just trying to get through the day it is great to hear what you're working on for us in a way that is very helpful and understandable. Keep up the incredible work you do.
I’d vote for Katie for president in a heartbeat. If she had a moderate FEMALE republican vice, I’d vote for them too. Just a thought.
Is there such a thing? I'd vote for them too.
I don't give a damn about the female part, the ideology is what matters. She's one of the very few that isn't morally bankrupt to the bone.
Katie Porter for President 2024.
I would vote for Katie for president.
100% agree. Love her
@@chrislaprise398 I wouldn't say no
As much as I love the concept, Katie Porter is one of the few that makes Congress function. I think we need her working on domestic/national issues more than international issues/foreign policy. She is one of the best we have in Congress and we need her fixing Congress first. But in the future when her kids are older and Congress functions better, absolutely! Though if she ran, I would vote for her.
@@kathyd9324 can't argue with that either
Excellent job! Starting to address part of our food crisis. Those who have any education on the topic find this subject deeply concerning. 👏
Let's break up "Too-Big-To-Fail" right now, BEFORE they Fail.
As a Kiwi I'd like to say :
Katie Porter you are my Greatest American Hero. Your fairness is soo refreshing.
✌️❤️🇳🇿
Ms Porter is the only rep that I donate to monthly. When I got a postcard from her, I put it on my bulletin board. She's not getting the credit that she deserves for the work she's done!
Wow.. thanks for all you do Ladies. 🥂
Just try not to overregulate upcomers right out of business.
A Bipartisan bill to help farmers & consumers by lowering the 4 biggest meat processors 85% market share & improve supply chains.
Nothing better than hearing two intelligent people talk about real solutions for American citizens, and they work for US. Nice
Yes Katie!!!!! Iowa meets California= Excellence!
Farmers are very , very important to the American public . Its important for family farms and rural growers to,operator and not be lushed out of the market . Having choice and competition levels the playing field . Let's be honest here , if only four big corporations are buying and producing beef for market , if there is a natural disaster you are going to go hungry . Its important to suppirt agriculture . No more monopolies on anything . Manufacturing and farming needs to come the north America !
Katie and Cindy are two intelligent working together. Hopefully they can make a change.
Thank Congressman Katie Porter for doing your job that everyone will benefited from your eloquence to breakdown stuff amazes me in a plain English so that everyone can understand. Your the epitome of real public servant. Kudos to you and your staff. Stay health and keep safe. Thank you Rep Cindy Axe for this bill.
Greetings,
Hi Ms. Porter..
Thank you for representing
Orange county in Washington Dc.
I am soo pleased to see you go get 'em. The way you do. I live in between Knotts and Disneyland .I am a single Mom as well but now retired. I have not watched such heat being put to the feet of the GREEDY and the sloths
Of big corporate entities.
You definitely bring it.
Irvine is very lucky to have you.
Good work
Thank you for your efforts
God.Bless
C&E in Ca.
THANK YOU KATIE 💕 😊
Keep doing what you're doing. You're the one of VERY few shinning lights in Congress.
Katie is one of the sharpest...
❤❤❤love you so much. Katie, please talk to Joel Salitin. He is a good example of how sustainable farming should be. Big agriculture is so very detrimental in many ways. Pollution of water, air and soil by overuse of herbicides and pesticides. Animals being overbred to the point of diseases. Bayer/Monsanto and others are the biggest contributors to these terrible practices. Please talk to Joel Salitin. He is doing farming the right way.
Hello 👋 Kathrine. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Katie please run for President!
Great job, ladies! I gave up meat several years ago because of the filth and brutality of the meatpacking industry, also because of livestock's environmental impact. But to be honest, I wouldn't be able to bankroll a week's worth of meat these days, anyway. Next, I'm going to try to adjust to almond milk, since the dairy industry isn't much more humane than the meatpacking industry. I also gave up commercial cleaning solutions and laundry detergent, as well as single-use paper products. My grocery budget is still way under $50 a week. It's not for everyone, I know, but when prices go up, we sometimes have to make adjustments. Trust me, consumers do have considerable power in this issue -- if everyone in the country decided to give up meat next week, producers would bring those prices down. FAST!
I went to oat milk, bit pricier but almonds needs too much water to grow.
19 gallons of water for an almond. Try hempmilk for a nutty taste. It's very sustainable too.
@@diwi1942 very true!
Katie is a ROCKSTAR!
You got it girls keep up the good work. Windows are open and we can hear the feedback outside of town. Smackdad in the middle of the Land of Oz.👠👠
Thank you.
Thank you! I was born in Iowa and lived my formative years in OC. Now can you tell my HOA in CA to let me grow my tomatoes?! Half kidding, keep up the good work!
Where is OC?
If it's good with Katie, it's good with me.
Katie 4 prez!
Representative Katie is very much needed in India, like I said in my previous comments, Iam never going to come across you, but sincerely wish I could vote for you, and what Iam doing is pray for you and your family welfare, all the very best
Consolidation sounds a lot like "a monopoly" and I always thought monopolys where illegal in America...
This is a fantastic bill that would greatly benefit both primary producers and consumers!
I hadn't heard of Cindy Axne before this, but I like her based of what I see here.
I love Katie. She make ya think. What if we reduced, just a little, the subsidies the large corn growers get and then subsidize small and medium independent growers of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Not a farmer, don't know if that is feasible. What I do know is when you are struggling to make ends meet, the first thing to go is the fruit and vegetables because of their high price. Ok, second thing to go, meat is the first. Back when we were struggling it, was dried beans, pasta, eggs, soup, crackers, cheese, and bread that we bought the most. I guess food preferences would be different for everyone.
Hello 👋 Laurie. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Seriously Katie must to consider run for president...the whole country will vote for her.
Greetings from Denmark. ❤
I agree with proposed law, well done.
But..... we have to eat less meat and the pirice should be higher.
Porter-Sanders 2024!!!!
Katie Porter for democrat party leader please
Katie Porter is the Senator California needs ⚖️😄👍
They're so knowledgeable and focused, and clearly grounded in the reality. Middle men should be scrapped, and large farming corporations need to stop getting money from the Government and be forced to efficiently re-allocate their money. Farmers and consumers should be allowed to provide lawsuits against unfair business practices of these companies, and attempt to break extremely large companies to smaller ones that can be run by the farmers themselves.
Also, farmers used to have a lot of knowledge about many crop varieties that were water-efficient and beneficial to the overall ecology. Companies are not aware of this. If farmers are given the choice to grow what they want, and are supported in selling their stuff, both the consumer and the producer will have more choices. I'm so happy that we're seeing such a sensitive, nuanced, grounded policy by a democrat who is finally giving rural america the empowerment they deserve. Making them free from corporations, or government interference. Hopefully the appalachian poor can be helped after this. Let's work towards rural empowerment too! Not just urban!
Super strong Smart Women!
We love you Katie!!!❤️🩷🧡
This will help but until serious anti-trust actions are taken on the big 4 packers the major problems will continue.
My sweetheart of politics 💐🥰💐🥰👍🏽🥰💐🥰💐💕💕💕💕💕Great Job Ms Porter
This is important. We need to help small producers.🐄
Great job, Rep. Porter! Eat veggies & fruits, y'all!
Finally. The little guy gets a say and a seat at the table.
I would love to be able to purchase small cattle ranch products at the store or order online. I am afraid of most grocery store meats - I want them from the USA and small farmers.
Beans, lentils, pasta, tofu. All better for the planet, cheaper, better for us and better for the animals.
All you had to do is listen to the cattle market report. It's like a short report. You'll know what ranchers get per pound. Go to the store and see the price for meat. So, yeah 2 dollars per pound at the ranch = 7.00 per pound steak at the grocery store. What consumers need to do is save your money. Go to a rancher buy a steer and have the rancher take it to a butcher. You'll save a lot of money. You'll have to have a freezer. You can buy half a cow at the butcher.
Won’t hold my breath - the large corporations (oil, food, tobacco etc.) are running things now.
Love you Katie porter!!!!!❤
LOVE YOU KATIE❤️🇺🇲
Go Katie and Cindy!! Buy local.
I hope she becomes president...and soon
Cindy, Are you also working on this for Pork and not just Beef? This is needed on both sides. My family are pork producers in Iowa.
The big 4 cattle people will squash this with their lobbyists.
I'm vegetarian so price of meat isn't important to me but it isn't fair to those that still do.
But the dairy and egg industry are absolutely awful and those products are a big incentive to continue the systemic cruelty and slaughter of animals. We need to keep working to treat animals better! :)
Everything is monopoly in the USA, we need the tax laws to punish buying other businesses, if you own two or more already, & liquidating businesses you didn’t create, raise the tariff price on importing so local goods have a chance to compete. Ban private equity investment scams that heap unearned debt onto American businesses which has forced thousands of them to close, ToysRUs is only one example.
Porter for PRESIDENT!!!
🎯
🇺🇸 Katie Porter for President 🇺🇸
Raising prices is what oligarchy does their doing it to surpass the 99 period!
🇺🇸 Katie Porter For President 2024 🇺🇸
Please take on the Big Oil executives next. And don't forget to bring your white board
Never president, Katie Porter lifelong senator, please.
YES PLEASE... KATIE PORTER FOR PRESIDENT 2024!
♥️it!!
I have one question. When are you gonna stop teasing us and run for president? With AOC as your VP?
Meat needs to be expensive, especially beef which is hard on land and uses a lot of water.
I live in So Maryland and would love to work for you!!
SANDERS & PORTER 2024
Just make sure all farms have cameras, is ok to eat meat we are all Wildlife but is not OK to be cruel sadistic and monstrous , people need to be able to choose who to by from..
Beef prices have more to do with regulations sponsored by Monsanto via the FDA. Small ranchers can't sell beef at a profit at all. There are still small producers.
What regulations are you speaking about? Cost of beef has more to do with weather and commodity prices on the CME
@@RebeccaWhite30 Don't try to get technical when it is obvious you have never tried to or sold beef. Put yourself in the shoes of a small rancher literally, and then you can expect to understand. No one has time to explain life to people who will waste it.
@@MrZacchery sell beef directly to customers and have worked in ag for over 20 years. Happy to discuss these details with you.
@@RebeccaWhite30 ok; could you make a living from selling cattle on a farm less than 10 acres? How much? In all of my calculations the difference between the butchered beef and the living cow are the greatest cost in the food. I don't understand what weather and commodities have to do with the price of cattle, unless you are the type of person draining the aquifers, and justifying it by raising the most water intense livestock possible? You are explaining a scale that is problematic to anyone with less than 100 acres.
@@MrZacchery so when there is drought, cattle owners end up selling their cattle early because there isn’t enough grass to feed them (ie small cattle producers that rely on snowmelt or rain to grow grasses, not row crops which is what I believe you are referring too). This floods the market with a supply of beef but then there is a huge gap. The life cycle of cattle is longer than pigs or chicken. Calf is born and either had its first calf at 2 years of age or is slaughtered ideally around 16-20 months depending on finishing. So instead of selling their cattle, why don’t we just buy feed? Well, because if everyone else is experiencing drought or a good portion, feed prices skyrocket. Yeah supply and demand. This has been happening and now cull prices are at a all time high because of the lack of cattle going to market (cull cattle are ones that are sold because of age, productivity etc and usually made into ground beef). As far as the CME, that’s a hot mess and better to ask an ag economics specialist. I worked in dairy markets for a decade and it’s a lot! Oh, and wildfires in Australia a few world catastrophes ago also totally changed cattle and feed prices all over the world. Now to answer your other question about cattle on small acreage and making money, it’s too complicated to just pencil out because feed, resources, butcher vicinity, and weather are way too different in all parts of our country to boil it down to one number.
Recommend Gold Shaw Farm on utube. New farmer working to have sustainable farming. Just him and his wife. Being going about 3 years. Plus they are fun to watch.
I watch Gold Shaw Farm too! Love and Morgan and Allison leaving the big city and starting their homestead in Vermont! Good people and really care about their animals!
Stop saying literally. The playing field isn't literally a thing. It is a figurative representation of the environs in which a competitive practice takes place.
Where’s the beef?!
Otherwise we're gonna start eating greedy executives
Bernie Sanders for President and Katie Porter or Sheldon Whitehouse for Vice President in 2024. Y’all could REAL and TRULY fix are COUNTRY problem with Ease. I know this pairing would work for EVERYONE LIVING IN AMERICA 🇺🇸. 🤘😎
'Beyond Beef: The Rise and Fall of the Cattle Culture,' (Jeremy Rifkin)
is a must read...sorry, Floriduh...reading.
*Katie Porter/Liz Cheney*2024!
Capitalism always becomes monopoly
Lowering the cost of meat will increase demand for one of the biggest contributors to climate change.
