Ngày 07/05/2025, Việt Nam và Mỹ chính thức tiến hành phiên đàm phán đầu tiên về mức thuế 46% do tổng thống Trump áp đặt. Vừa đàm phán với thị trường lớn nhất, Hà Nội vừa khẩn trương tìm cách thúc đẩy xuất khẩu sang 17 thị trường đã ký các hiệp định thương mại tự do, mở rộng thêm đối tác, trong đó có Brazil. Cả hai nước muốn giảm phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào một đối tác : Đối với Brazil là Trung Quốc và với Việt Nam là Mỹ, đồng thời hỗ trợ thâm nhập thị trường khu vực của nhau ASEAN và Mercosur.Mở rộng thị trường với BrazilViệt Nam và Brazil ký Kế hoạch hành động triển khai quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược giai đoạn 2025-2030 sau khi nâng cấp vào tháng 11/2024. Trong chuyến công du Hà Nội ngày 28/03/2025, tổng thống Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva khẳng định “kế hoạch này sẽ giúp chúng tôi tiến triển trong nhiều lĩnh vực”. Cả hai nước còn nhiều tiềm năng, biên độ phát triển để thúc đẩy hợp tác trong nhiều lĩnh vực, theo giải thích của nhà báo Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của đài RFI :“Điều đáng chú ý là với Kế hoạch hành động triển khai quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược giai đoạn 2025-2030, mối quan hệ đối tác rất rộng rãi, bao gồm kinh tế, quốc phòng, nông nghiệp và an ninh lương thực, cũng như các vấn đề liên quan đến môi trường và cuộc chiến chống biến đổi khí hậu. Ông Lula công bố quyết định của Brazil công nhận Quy chế kinh tế thị trường của Việt Nam để tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho dòng đầu tư và phát triển thương mại.Về thương mại, tổng thống Lula cũng đề cập đến việc mở cửa thị trường Việt Nam về thịt và khả năng Việt Nam trở thành trung tâm khu vực về chế biến thịt của Brazil, qua đó tạo điều kiện tiếp cận thị trường châu Á. Brazil có thể xuất khẩu các sản phẩm có giá trị gia tăng cao hơn sang Việt Nam, bao gồm máy bay Embraer - loại máy bay tầm trung. Tham vọng rất là lớn : năm 2024, kim ngạch thương mại giữa hai nước đạt 7,7 tỷ đô la. Mục tiêu chung là đạt 15 tỷ đô la vào năm 2030”.Theo trang web chính phủ Brazil, Việt Nam là nguồn nhập khẩu lớn nhất trong ASEAN và là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ 14 thế giới của Brazil. Brazil xuất khẩu sang Việt Nam nhiều hơn sang Bồ Đào Nha, Anh Quốc, Pháp hoặc Paraguay. Việt Nam là khách hàng lớn thứ 5 cho xuất khẩu nông sản của Brazil, ví dụ Brazil cung cấp đến 70% lượng đậu nành nhập khẩu của Việt Nam, khoảng 37% lượng thịt lợn và là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ hai cho Việt Nam về gia cầm và bông.Tầm quan trọng của Việt Nam, cũng như sự quan tâm của chính phủ Brazil được thông tín viên RFI - ban Brazil Vivian Osvald tại Rio de Janeiro giải thích :“Việt Nam là một quốc gia châu Á quan trọng. Đây không chỉ là một quốc gia mới nổi mà còn là thành viên của ASEAN, Hiệp hội các quốc gia Đông Nam Á, mà Brazil cũng muốn xích lại gần hơn. Có khả năng ông Lula sẽ được mời tham dự hội nghị thượng đỉnh ASEAN năm nay.Kim ngạch thương mại song phương với Việt Nam đạt khoảng 8 tỷ đô la mỗi năm. Con số này trông có vẻ không đáng kể, nhưng lại lớn hơn trao đổi thương mại với một số nước châu Âu. Ông Lula là tổng thống Brazil đầu tiên đến thăm Việt Nam vào năm 2007.Mục đích của chuyến công du là tăng cường mối quan hệ. Việt Nam nhập khẩu nhiều mặt hàng từ Brazil như đậu nành, ngô và bông và xuất khẩu sang Brazil đồ điện tử, lốp xe, quần áo và giày dép”.Đọc thêmCúp bóng đá Đông Nam Á: Cầu thủ gốc Brazil trở thành niềm hy vọng của tuyển Việt NamVề phía Việt Nam, theo báo chính phủ, tính lũy kế đến tháng 10/2024, Brazil có 7 dự án đầu tư vào Việt Nam với tổng vốn đăng ký 3,85 triệu đô la, chủ yếu trong lĩnh vực công nghiệp chế tạo, bán buôn và bán lẻ, hoạt động chuyên môn khoa học công nghệ. Trong khuôn khổ chuyến công du của tổng thống Lula, hãng đóng gói thịt JBS của Brazil đã ký biên bản ghi nhớ về một thỏa thuận đầu tư trị giá 100 triệu đô la xây dựng hai nhà máy đóng gói thịt ở Việt Nam, chủ yếu là đóng gói thịt thô nhập từ Brazil phân phối cho thị trường Việt Nam và khu vực.Ngoài bóng đá, cà phê cũng là một lĩnh vực khác được chính phủ Brazil nhấn mạnh để tăng cường quan hệ giữa hai nước, cũng là hai nhà sản xuất cà phê lớn nhất thế giới, nghiên cứu giống cây trồng có khả năng chống chịu tốt hơn với tác động của biến đổi khí hậu. Tổng thống Lula khẳng định : “Việt Nam có thể hưởng lợi từ Quỹ Rừng nhiệt đới vĩnh cửu (Fundo Florestas Tropicais para Sempre) do Brazil đề xuất và được đánh giá cao về những nỗ lực bảo vệ môi trường”.Cổ vũ cho “không liên kết” và hợp tác “đa phương”Trang Foreign Policy ngày 28/03 nhận định vòng công du hai nước châu Á Nhật Bản và Việt Nam của tổng thống Lula cho thấy rõ hoạt động đối ngoại đa phương, không liên kết của Brazil, trái ngược với chính sách bảo hộ của tổng thống Donald Trump của Hoa Kỳ, đối tác thương mại lớn thứ hai của Brasilia. Brazil không bị áp mức thuế đối ứng cao như Việt Nam nhưng cũng chịu mức thuế chung đối với nhôm, thép nhập khẩu vào Mỹ. Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của RFI, nhận định :“Cách tiếp cận đa dạng hóa thị trường này đến đúng lúc Mỹ áp dụng mức thuế mới là 25% đối với thép và nhôm và 10% đối với tất cả các sản phẩm khác. Brazil, là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ hai cho Hoa Kỳ, đang tìm cách giảm sự phụ thuộc vào thị trường Mỹ song song với việc tiếp tục đàm phán với Washington để tìm giải pháp cho các mức thuế bị áp đặt. Ví dụ, tại Tokyo, tổng thống Lula tuyên bố ông sẽ đi đầu để giúp thúc đẩy hiệp định thương mại tự do giữa Nhật Bản và khối Mercosur, khối bao gồm Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay và Uruguay”.Đọc thêmBrazil trở thành quốc gia BRICS thứ hai không tham gia dự án BRI của Trung QuốcNgoài ra, giống như Việt Nam, Brazil cũng bị phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào đối tác Trung Quốc trong những năm gần đây và có thể đẩy Brazil vào thế nguy hiểm, dễ bị tác động hơn trong bối cảnh chiến tranh thương mại Mỹ-Trung. Do đó, Brazil tự vệ bằng cách phát triển quan hệ với nhiều nước châu Á khác, theo giải thích của nhà báo Elcio Ramalho :“Chuyến đi này rất quan trọng vì Brazil đang tìm kiếm đối tác thay thế để đối phó với chủ nghĩa bảo hộ của Mỹ. Đáng chú ý là tổng thống Lula đi cùng với một phái đoàn lớn các chính trị gia, chủ tịch Hạ viện và Thượng viện, cũng như các doanh nhân và giám đốc công ty.Việc lựa chọn Nhật Bản và Việt Nam được giải thích bởi tiềm năng thương mại của hai nước và cũng chứng minh tầm quan trọng mà Brazil dành cho khu vực châu Á và để tránh sự phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào Trung Quốc, đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Brazil. Đối với Nhật Bản, việc mở cửa thị trường thịt bò Brazil đang bị thách thức”.Tiếp cận thị trường khu vực của nhau thông qua đối tácTại Hà Nội, tổng thống Brazil khẳng định mong muốn làm cầu nối đưa Việt Nam đến khối Mercosur và Nam Mỹ và cũng coi Việt Nam là cầu nối giữa Brazil và thị trường ASEAN với hơn 600 triệu dân. Theo ông Lula, Mỹ latinh và ASEAN là hai khu vực năng động, góp phần hình thành trật tự thế giới đa cực. GDP của thị trường chung Nam Mỹ Mercosur và ASEAN lần lượt đạt khoảng 2.800 tỷ đô la và 3.800 tỷ đô la, cho thấy tầm quan trọng của hai khu vực trên trường quốc tế.Thủ tướng Việt Nam Phạm Minh Chính cũng đề nghị chính phủ Brazil ủng hộ, thúc đẩy sớm khởi động đàm phán FTA giữa Việt Nam và Mercosur. Khối Thị trường Chung Nam Mỹ - Mercosur (thành lập ngày 26/03/1991) hiện có 4 nước thành viên thường trực Achentina, Brazil, Paraguay và Uruguay sau khi Venezuela bị đình chỉ tư cách thành viên năm 2017. Các nước Colombia, Chilê, Pêru, Bolivia và Ecuador, Guyana và Suriname có tư cách thành viên liên kết.Liệu Hà Nội có thể dựa vào Brazil để chinh phục các thị trường xuất khẩu mới ? Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của đài RFI, nhận định : “Là nước giữ chủ tịch Mercosur từ tháng 07/2025, Brazil sẽ nỗ lực hướng tới một thỏa thuận cân bằng với Việt Nam. Hơn nữa, Brazil đã mời Việt Nam tham dự hội nghị thượng đỉnh BRICS vào tháng 7 tại Rio de Janeiro và COP30 tại Belém, cho thấy mong muốn đưa Việt Nam vào các diễn đàn đa phương này nhiều hơn nữa và điều này có thể mở ra những cơ hội xuất khẩu mới cho Hà Nội”.Đọc thêmTại sao Việt Nam không phản hồi lời mời trở thành "quốc gia đối tác" của BRICS ?Bài học từ mức thuế 46% do tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đơn phương áp đặt buộc Việt Nam cơ cấu lại sản xuất, thúc đẩy tiêu dùng… và tránh “không bị phụ thuộc vào bất cứ đối tác nào” bằng cách thúc đẩy mở rộng, đa dạng hóa thị trường xuất khẩu thông qua các hiệp định thương mại tự do (FTA), được thủ tướng Phạm Minh Chính nhấn mạnh là “cánh cửa quan trọng kết nối Việt Nam với thế giới”.Việt Nam hiện có 17 FTA, trong đó có nhiều hiệp định với các khu vực như với Liên minh Kinh tế Á-Âu (EAEU), Hiệp định Đối tác Toàn diện và Tiến bộ xuyên Thái Bình Dương (CPTPP), Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (EVFTA), Hiệp định Đối tác Kinh tế Toàn diện Khu vực (RECEP)… và đang đàm phán hai FTA mới : EFTA (gồm Thụy Sĩ, Na Uy, Iceland, Liechtenstein) và ASEAN-Canada. Theo thủ tướng Việt Nam, các FTA đã mang lại hiệu quả, năm 2024, tổng kim ngạch xuất nhập khẩu đạt gần 800 tỷ đô la.Song song với những hiệp định thương mại, Việt Nam không ngừng thắt chặt hợp tác thương mại với các nước đối tác để giữ vững mục tiêu tăng trưởng 8% trong năm 2025. Điều này được thể hiện qua số chuyến công du nước ngoài của các nhà lãnh đạo Việt Nam cũng như những chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước đến Việt Nam như Nga, Bỉ, Hà Lan, Tây Ban Nha, Trung Quốc, Nhật Bản… Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron dự kiến đến thăm Việt Nam vào cuối tháng 05.

In October of 2024, McDonald's sued four of the world's largest meat producers – Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef Packing – for allegedly conspiring to inflate the price of beef by creating artificial scarcity in the market. This is not the first time McDonald's has sued these meat producers, and it is not the first time these meat producers have been sued. Over 200 cases have been brought by restaurants, retailers, wholesalers, and ranchers. Some are still pending and others have been settled - with high payouts but no admission of wrongdoing. In this week's episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner reviews the case McDonald's is making against the Big 4: The price setting power associated with controlling 80 percent of the U.S. beef market The complexity associated with trying to track cost and price data in a highly concentrated market Why being the largest beef buyer in the world isn't enough to tip the scales in McDonald's favor Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement  

For our weekly catchup with the Green Party's Ricardo Menendez-March, Oto speak to him about Simeon Brown's Health Infrastructure Plan, the downgrading of climate change in the new Defence Capability Plan and the recently announced extension of military assistance to Ukraine. He spoke to Amanda Larsson - Senior Campaign manager for Greenpeace Aotearoa, about Greenpeace's investigation into meat processing corporation JBS and their role in the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. And he spoke to Sue Coutts, an advocate for the Zero Waste Network about their take on the government's proposal to update the waste minimisation act. Max spoke to the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa co-chair, John Minto, about the PSNA appeal to New Zealand Foreign Minister, Winston Peters, in which they requested that New Zealand initiate the call for an internationally enforced “no-fly” zone over Gaza.

Greenpeace recently conducted an investigation into the meat processing corporation, JBS, which concluded that the company had failed to meet its deforestation-free commitment. The Brazilian multinational is the largest meat processing enterprise in the world and largely operates in the Amazon Rainforest, where they have been accused of contributing to illegal deforestation, mistreating their livestock and even spreading zoonotic diseases. In 2020, JBS announced their plan for zero deforestation by this year, which included a monitoring system for their suppliers. However, the Greenpeace investigation found that the company had made little progress on their commitment and was continuing to contribute to the Amazon's deforestation. Oto spoke to Amanda Larsson - Senior Campaign manager for Greenpeace Aotearoa, about their investigation into JBS and how they plan to hold them accountable for their deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join me Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and my crew as we hear how Angus, Red Angus, Smokey and Buff colored calves all can receive the same premium.  Plus news, markets and a whole lot of the cow stuff that you will only get on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel.   Season 5, EPISODE 231 Sustainable Beef: A Processing Plant Where Color Doesn't Matter New Beef Processing Plant With Competitive Fed Cattle Grid Premiums The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) recently showcased an innovative fed cattle grid pricing system at the NCBA Trade Show. This system, adopted by Sustainable Beef LLC, is set to transform the industry by offering competitive premiums for upper two-thirds Choice carcasses, regardless of hide color. Angus, Red Angus & Charolais Cross Cattle Receive Same Premium Tom Brink, RAAA CEO, announced that Sustainable Beef LLC, opening in April 2025 in North Platte, Nebraska, will implement a color-blind grid system, equally rewarding Red Angus, Black Angus, and smoky cattle. “This system levels the feeder calf market, allowing feedlots to confidently invest in Red Angus and black-hided cattle, knowing both will qualify for top premiums,” Brink said. Kelly Smith, RAAA Director of Commercial Marketing, emphasized RAAA's efforts to connect Red Angus producers with feedlots through its feeder cattle network. He highlighted that FCCP-tagged cattle will meet the Angus label's genetic verification standards, ensuring seamless access to premium marketing opportunities. Mark Nelson, Sustainable Beef's Director of Cattle Procurement, reinforced the company's commitment to sustainability and producer profitability. Sustainable Beef will provide an exceptional work environment and favor moderate carcass sizes, which naturally benefits Red Angus genetics. The RAAA-Sustainable Beef collaboration represents a significant step forward in ensuring equitable market opportunities for all quality cattle. This initiative will drive profitability for producers while delivering high-quality beef to consumers. For more details, visit RedAngus.org. Cattle Industry News JBS Sees Strong Demand Despite Challenges In The U.S. Cattle Cycle According to JBS executives, JBS expects a more challenging US cattle supply scenario in 2025 compared to last year, when strong beef consumption and initiatives to improve commercial and operational efficiencies contributed to the performance of the US beef business unit. Executives commented saying that the U.S. cattle cycle will likely be more challenging this year, regardless of the speed of herd replacement, specifically saying that JBS Beef North America's margins still have room to improve by 1% to 1.5% in 2025 due to the company's initiatives to improve commercial and operational efficiencies. Robust demand continues to support the company's investments in expanding its US meat processing and prepared food facilities. In February, JBS announced $200 million in investments to expand its beef production facilities in Cactus, Texas, and Greeley, Colo. In the other regions where JBS operates, demand for all animal proteins also remains strong.

I'm honored to have Jeff Scott, CEO of as a, rejoin me to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of AI within the SAP ecosystem, specifically focusing on the impact of partnerships like SAP and Microsoft's collaboration on copilot and Joule. [00:00:26] Mustansir Saifuddin: Listen in as we explore how these advancements will shape enterprise operations in 2025 and beyond, and why you can't afford to ignore this technological shift. [00:00:39] Mustansir Saifuddin: Thanks for coming back on our podcast. Geoff, it was really nice to have you back. You remember, you know you came on last year and we dove into this whole [00:00:48] Geoff Scott: Oh. [00:00:49] Mustansir Saifuddin: gen AI topic. Everybody remembers that, you know, it was a very hot topic last year and, you know, everybody was going in that direction. Now, fast forwarding everything to this year and say, Hey, what is going on? And this year, SAP has had some major announcements, as we all know about the partnerships that we leverage the power of AI within the SAP ecosystem. And what I see with the majority of SAP clients using Microsoft in the enterprises. There is a lot of opportunity in SAP and Microsoft , you know, the whole partnership, especially around copilot and SAP Joule. I believe it'll make a big impact. [00:01:30] Geoff Scott: I'm surprised you have me back. I was very nervous. It's a year later. I was like, okay, this is never gonna happen again. I, I disinvited myself from future podcasts. [00:01:39] Mustansir Saifuddin: Well, I have you back [00:01:42] Mustansir Saifuddin: on. [00:01:43] Mustansir Saifuddin: and I am telling you that it is more exciting than what we were talking about last year, and I think this is what I want to get some thoughts on, Hey, what's going on? What's your take on how these partnerships are coming together and what are we going to see in 2025? [00:02:01] Geoff Scott: Well, the good news is that what we see in 2025 is no apparent slowdown in any of this technology. You know, but what's interesting is we, in the SAP space, [00:02:13] Geoff Scott: are not necessarily meeting that challenge head on, and we probably are not moving as quickly as we should to capture the amount of opportunity that's out there. I, I think AI is real. It's gonna continue to evolve at a furious pace, and that necessitates that we as technology practitioners determine how we best leverage that technology. [00:02:36] Geoff Scott: You, you talked about Microsoft Copilot, Joule, right? I mean AWS. Bedrock , Google Gemini, you know, now we've got, other LLMs popping out all over the place. Right. , deep seek . Which just popped up very quickly. So there's just, a tremendous amount of movement here and it's really hard [00:02:57] Geoff Scott: to stay abreast of it. And I think the opportunity to jump in and start leveraging this is mission critical and what I think it really necessitates, and you talked about some announcements from SAP that I think double or triple down on this notion that AI is here, so if you really want to take your SAP data and make it AI enabled using Joule or using any other series of tools, [00:03:24] Geoff Scott: it's gonna necessitate that we as technology practitioners start to do some fairly radical things with our data. Number one is we start to de-customize everywhere we can and move the responsibility for code back to SAP so that they are responsible for figuring out how to make the AI work, not us. [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: So [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: , [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: how [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: do we over time de-customize and how do we over time think about the necessity of adopting SaaS based solutions such as SAP's Public Cloud? Many of our of our community members are implementing private cloud right [00:04:00] now through Rise which is great, but ultimately if we recreate all those customizations downstream, then we have to figure out how to make them AI enabled, and I think that's where we're gonna find ourselves under continuing amounts of stress as the business innovates faster and faster. [00:04:17] Geoff Scott: We typically in the SAP ecosystem, think about our innovations on a stair step model. And what I mean by that is we do an upgrade, we sit on that upgrade for a couple of years, as long as we possibly can. You know, and then we do an upgrade again. And the challenge I think that's gonna present is that there's so much innovation happening and, all these things are moving at such a speed that if we're not continuously innovating, [00:04:39] Geoff Scott: we are gonna find ourselves further and further behind. I, I'd like to see our SAP data be the sole source of truth inside our enterprises and an innovation gold mine. [00:04:49] Geoff Scott: And to do that, I think we have to de-customize. I think we have to be able to, innovate faster. I think we have to be able to look at this data, do a lot more work around archiving and getting the old stuff, swept up and moved out. Master data is gonna become a major, major opportunity for all of us. [00:05:05] Geoff Scott: And if we do all those things really, really well. We will have a fighting chance at making our enterprises very savvy. And on top of the latest trends versus trying to perpetually catch up. [00:05:16] Mustansir Saifuddin: It's a race, the way I look at it, and I think , you summed it up very well, and I think that leads me to my question into this whole topic of collaboration. Let's take that right now. What would you tell your SAP users about the power of Microsoft and SAP's collaboration? [00:05:33] Mustansir Saifuddin: How will it positively impact their day-to-day operations? Let's start with that. [00:05:38] Geoff Scott: Well, I, I think you set this up really well. We, we know from an ASUG research perspective that most SAP customers are also Microsoft customers. And that partnership has gone back almost as long as SAP and Microsoft have been in business. You know, there's some pictures I've seen of Bill Gates and Hasso Plattner, the two founders of both organizations working together early on. [00:06:04] Geoff Scott: So this is a partnership that goes back a long, long time and it's a tremendously powerful partnership. And it indicates to me that these are organizations that work very well together, very closely together and collaborate. I mean, almost everyone I know who works in SAP also uses Excel spreadsheets, also uses PowerPoint slides, [00:06:23] Geoff Scott: also creates Word documents. I do these almost every single day. It makes perfect sense to me that a tool such as Microsoft Copilot and SAP's Joule would be working in harmony together. And I think we're seeing some interesting innovation from both organizations where they're able to demonstrate that. [00:06:39] Geoff Scott: I saw some really cool, rag based technologies, a few weeks ago where a copilot can reach out and grab some data from SAP and bring it back. Likewise Joule is being able to show some similar capabilities. For most customers, as much as we'd like to have one AI tool, I just don't think that that's going to be the way this works. [00:06:58] Geoff Scott: I think we're gonna have multiple, which, which makes the enterprise architect's role that much more challenging because they're gonna have to figure out how to integrate these tools, when these tools are best used, how they're used, and how do we as as organizations, get value from them. [00:07:15] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. And if you take this a step further, right? The hype around Agentic AI, everybody's talking about agents. What are you seeing in the marketplace? What, what is your take? [00:07:25] Mustansir Saifuddin: How are SAP users benefitting from Agentic AI within their organizations? [00:07:31] Geoff Scott: As it relates specifically to the SAP ecosystem, my. My perception, maybe right or wrong, probably more wrong than right, is that many of them are investigating and researching. I haven't necessarily seen any specific in production, customer running, agentic AI using SAP dot dot yet. Is it coming? [00:08:00] I think it's coming. [00:08:01] Geoff Scott: Has everyone figured this out yet? No certainly SAP's talking about it. I saw some presentations from the AI team at SAP led by Philip Herzig where they're demonstrating a lot of this. And I think it's gonna be very interesting to watch how agentic, you know, agent-based AI starts to manage tasks. [00:08:19] Geoff Scott: And I'm very keen to see how this works. [00:08:24] Mustansir Saifuddin: It's still very early on in, in this space where a lot of SAP customers are thinking about using it. But [00:08:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: how [00:08:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: do we really find a use case that is really beneficial to the organization at least from a investment standpoint, the time standpoint , and the value add you get as a, as a result of this application basically. [00:08:47] Geoff Scott: And I think the, the potential challenge with agentic AI is it also has to be reasonable from a, you know, a what is this agent, what is this agent's tasks? One of the things that we all know about the SAP ecosystem is we exist here because our businesses are complicated. Someone used to say to me, if, if you didn't need to run SAP, you wouldn't. [00:09:11] Geoff Scott: Right. So you know, most of the organizations that run SAP are of a, a sufficient size and scale and complexity, whether that be that they're multiple businesses running, they have international components, the business makes a complicated product that has a lot of configuration to it, right? There's reasons why these organizations are running SAP. [00:09:32] Geoff Scott: So that kind of then begets the next point, which is, an agent based AI. It's going to have to be fairly complicated in order to handle all of those different, particulars of a business. So I, I think it's gonna be interesting to watch how organizations slice that down to make it so that they can demonstrate some success early days without making the agents so complicated that they basically can't function. [00:09:58] Geoff Scott: You know, even some of this agent AI we talk about that seems like really simple. Like, Hey, I want to go out to eat at a restaurant tonight. Have agentic AI make a reservation. When you break that down. How does it do that? what type of food do you want? [00:10:13] Geoff Scott: I don't know. Maybe Italian, maybe French, maybe American. What about what time do you want to eat? How far away do you want to go? And so much of that is, is left to our brains to just on a whim, we make these decisions. How do you have that conversation with AG Agentic AI, right? Where it says, Hey, you know, here's a reservation at Italian restaurant at six 30. [00:10:32] Geoff Scott: Nah, well, 6 45, nah. Well, what do you want? Not Italian. Well, what do you want instead? I don't know French. No. You want a burger? Nah, I don't feel like a burger tonight. I mean, oh my God. I mean, it's exhausting. [00:10:47] Mustansir Saifuddin: Let's take a step up, right? Let's, let's talk about from SAP customers, you know. Everybody's getting on this [00:10:55] Mustansir Saifuddin: What word of advice would you have for SAP customers when they get further into the journey with AI? Like, what are the things that they should be looking at? [00:11:03] Geoff Scott: First and foremost, take the time to experiment, right? I mean, if you're not using these AI tools every day start. And this has taken me a little bit of time to warm up to, I'm finding now that, I have enough, road underneath my tires that it's hard for me to do new things, [00:11:22] Geoff Scott: 'cause I'm fairly, you know, set in my ways. But if I don't, use these tools to do things, I'm just not, I'm not learning. And so I. As an example, I'm recording a podcast tomorrow with a couple of fellow ASUG board members, and last night I needed to get them some prep materials. [00:11:40] Geoff Scott: I uploaded three or four documents into Claude and I said, please look at these three documents and I need to brief the podcast participants on what they say. And it looked at all three documents and it coughed up a pretty darn good summary. [00:11:55] Geoff Scott: Perfect? No. Pretty good. Yes. Was it [00:12:00] easier that I didn't, I didn't have to go and look at each document and figure out what to say. I could take a look at its summarization and determine if that was something that I wanted, that I thought was accurate and something that I thought we could share. And the answer was it was pretty good. [00:12:15] Geoff Scott: That was a great experiment. And then I said, okay, now create the podcast questions. And it did it. Now, are we using all of them? No. Did it give me at least a starting point? A hundred percent. And by the way, for the people out there was like, oh my God. He put that into, he put that into Claude. Oh my God. What about the security things? We own a subscription to Claude. So it was in a subscription. It was, it was in our protected space. It was public information. So, you know, but you gotta think about those things, right? [00:12:42] Mustansir Saifuddin: . [00:12:42] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. And I think the one thing that you hit upon is time to value, right? When you look at these tools, these technology aspects of how it can make things faster, better . But it brings up another point, like when, when you look at these, these use cases, everything is about data. What you feeding into the model. [00:13:07] Mustansir Saifuddin: So, you know, from a data perspective, I know a lot of customers doesn't matter, SAP or other technologies, and especially in SAP you know, either struggle with clean governed data and kind of makes it very difficult. So what, what's your take on that in that space? You know, especially when they are ready to go to the AI [00:13:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: journey, but they have some work to do. [00:13:34] Geoff Scott: I think there's a tremendous amount of work to do on this, and this kind of comes back to a part of our earlier dialogue that I think that data has to be right. Right. If, if we're gonna succeed in this future AI enabled world, the data that is being accessed, from your SAP systems, whether through some sort of rag or wherever you're doing, it has to be accurate. [00:13:57] Geoff Scott: So the archiving perspective of this has to be right. And you know also what has to be right is your ability to get master data correct. So if you have the same customer in your SAP system, this is an easy example, five times. Well, you now have increased by factors, the likelihood that the answer that pops back is wrong. [00:14:18] Geoff Scott: So, you know, we've been talking about this for a long time, that your SAP data has to be accurate, has to be right, and SAP data is very accurate at the time that it was entered. I think this is one of the brilliant things about SAP. And where we as SAP, you know, professionals spend so much time is getting the data into the system correctly from the get go. [00:14:41] Geoff Scott: The problem is it doesn't age so well, right? It's not like a fine wine. It can sometimes get a little stale and old and if we're not also getting it broomed out. The challenge we run into is it could be part of a , hallucination that we're not aware of. And if all of a sudden people are looking at this data and making broader based decisions on it, and the decision processes was flawed and the data's flawed, we could be making a lot of really bad decisions. [00:15:12] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah, absolutely. Data and analytics is very near and dear to me. So I, I know that whole conversation about getting The data clean, having that value around data, right. Which drives a lot of those those results out of the tools that we [00:15:28] Mustansir Saifuddin: want to apply. Especially. [00:15:30] Geoff Scott: It's all gonna come down to data at the end of the day, right? The data wins and the accuracy of the data wins. And the more that we're gonna use these tools to summarize and roll up, the higher the risk that that summary is inaccurate because the data underneath it isn't right. [00:15:49] Geoff Scott: We had this conversation in an ASUG executive exchange forum last week. And I think most people are starting to recognize that , if you have been [00:16:00] deferring your archiving routines, now might be a good time to get some of that back under control. [00:16:07] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah, [00:16:08] Geoff Scott: Most of the models right now, the L lms right, are based on data that doesn't, that the, you know books, fueling [00:16:15] Geoff Scott: research reports, fueling these LLMs that that data has been around for a long time and is, and has stood the test of time. Most of our SAP data, you know, has to be thought of through a very specific lens. But I, I think it's critical, a hundred percent critical. [00:16:33] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah. So let, so let's take it down a, a notch, right? From an ASUG perspective, how have you seen ASUG members approaching realtime data analytics moving to the cloud? I know ASUG does a lot of research on this. What have you seen? What, what do you see in this year? [00:16:49] Geoff Scott: So I think, you know, almost everyone is having cloud conversations, which is the beginning of this, because I don't think you can innovate at scale if you're not thinking about moving into the cloud. You know, the other thing is, is that most of these solutions, if you think about the innovation curve, mostly solutions are gonna appear first in the latest additions of your software. [00:17:08] Geoff Scott: So if you can't start innovating at a faster and faster cycle, move out of the stair step you and I discussed earlier, moving to a constant innovation framework, you're gonna find yourself further and further behind because if you want to take advantage of innovation at scale at the time it's released or near to the time it's released you need to be on the latest versions of software. [00:17:27] Geoff Scott: The hard reality of most of our ecosystem is we are not. And if we are not, that's where this stuff is gonna appear first. Will it make it down to other versions of the software? Yes. Is it gonna be on SAP's first order priority to do that? No. They're gonna want to make sure where they get it out [00:17:44] Geoff Scott: to market fast and they're gonna look at their latest versions of the software to do that, where they're the most comfortable. You know, there's this question, why can't I run AI in my on-prem data center? Well, you could, but you're gonna have to do all of that lift by yourself. And that becomes a very costly exercise that unless you're the bigs of the bigs, is probably outside of your budget to do that. [00:18:08] Geoff Scott: So if you want to do this with some degree of economy, you have to be in the cloud, you have to de-customize. You have to think about your SAP implementation as a SaaS service, push accountability and responsibility for code and business process back to SAP, right? I mean, I, I think that, you know, what has AI told me, loud and clear at a volume level of 11? [00:18:30] Geoff Scott: We as SAP customers now more than ever, need to stop customizing and moving responsibility for code back to SAP, 'cause if we don't, we are never gonna be able to keep up. .In, in addition to that, that many of us over these years have outsourced our application maintenance services. We rely on consultants to do most of the work we need done, right, so we're not even in control of the productive resources necessary to make this stuff a reality. [00:19:05] Geoff Scott: We are project managers. We are business analysts, right? We don't necessarily know how to write code to do this, and if we're gonna have to rely on outside resources every time we make one of these moves, that's gonna be super costly and super slow. [00:19:22] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah. I hear you. [00:19:23] Mustansir Saifuddin: and I know the ASUG community hears that [00:19:26] Geoff Scott: But we have a lot in our ASUG community, right, who have been around for a long time that says, well, you know, my job is an ABAP programmer. What do you want me to do next? Or I'm a basis person and I don't like this. And I'm like, you are some of the people that are in , the best position to retool and relearn. [00:19:42] Geoff Scott: We're all gonna have to relearn. And, you know, is your business's, joy in life to have you produce more ABAP code or figure out how to get that ABAP code out, move it to SAP and say, congratulations, SAP, you're now responsible for this. Here's what I need this business process to do. Right. [00:20:00] And using your, using ASUG to help you influence that business process, instead of you saying, well, I'm gonna just take it and twist it to my own needs. [00:20:08] Geoff Scott: Even with me saying that, I still think that there's a lot of distance that SAP has to travel, by the way, I don't think they have this figured out. I don't think that they'll look at this and they go, yep, we got this. You just, you know, trust us. No, I think in certain areas they have this well done. [00:20:23] Geoff Scott: In other areas they do not. So what's the best thing we can do? Help them get there faster, influence them, participate in your ASUG chapter meetings, have a voice, talk about where you're hitting challenges. How do we need SAP to make better business processes? How are we gonna use the, you know, the tools that they have, like Lean IX and Signavio to help drive some of this? [00:20:48] Geoff Scott: That's to me where this is gonna need to happen. I would much prefer to have SAP struggle to keep up with business process than have. 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 customers do it on their own. It doesn't scale. [00:21:03] Mustansir Saifuddin: No, it doesn't. And I think, and that's a fair point, right? And this is where the value of ASUG comes in. And, and I mean the journey is long, but the, the path is there for us to follow. [00:21:14] Geoff Scott: I, I, yeah. [00:21:14] Mustansir Saifuddin: Right. And that's the, [00:21:15] Geoff Scott: I think the journey is long and the journey is more important than ever. It's time to get off the couch and go out and start walking, and then when you can walk, you can run, then, you know, then you can sprint. And I think , that's kind of the, the message that we're giving as ASUG is this isn't gonna slow down for you, you're gonna have to catch up to it. [00:21:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: No, I think, and that's the message. A lot of people are hearing loud and clear now, especially 2025 has brought in that that whole concept of either you go along with it or you're gonna be left behind. [00:21:44] Geoff Scott: Or, or, or at some point you're going to have to catch up, and the question is, is how much lifting are you gonna have to do to get there? I, again, I don't think this is easy. I, I don't think that there's , a magic pill we can swallow, you know, that that cleans us all up and we're all perfect. [00:22:01] Mustansir Saifuddin: No. No, for sure. And I think I, I know we talked about a lot of things today and we can keep on talking and the journey keeps on you know, is it's a [00:22:11] Geoff Scott: It's journey. [00:22:11] Mustansir Saifuddin: it's, [00:22:12] Geoff Scott: Yeah. [00:22:12] Mustansir Saifuddin: ending, but what, what is the one key takeaway that you want to leave with the listeners [00:22:18] Geoff Scott: One key takeaway [00:22:18] Mustansir Saifuddin: as we wrap up? [00:22:19] Geoff Scott: it. [00:22:20] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yep. [00:22:21] Geoff Scott: Spend time experimenting and learning this stuff. Get comfortable being uncomfortable with these tools. Use them. Think about how your business can benefit from them. Spend some time, you know, in BTP learning how to access these LLMs through your BTP interface. If you're having a challenge getting a business case written to move from your ECC environment to S 4. [00:22:46] Geoff Scott: Talk to us at ASUG, we will help you with that. Go to a chapter meeting and ask others how they made that investment work. Spend some time, you know, if you don't have a, a license for copilot where you and I started this afternoon, ask your IT counterparts to have access to copilot, use it. [00:23:04] Ask it questions, engage in iterative rep iterative prompts. These are things I think the, the faster we get comfortable with these technologies, the better off we as technologists will have light bulbs go off and say, oh, I, now I get how I can really put agent AI to work. Right. And I'm not gonna listen to just, you know, Microsoft, you know, talk about it or SAP talk about it. [00:23:24] Geoff Scott: I actually have some ideas. And these are good ideas and I'm excited, I'm excited to share 'em. Get out of the stands and on the field. [00:23:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: And who better do it? I mean, I think I, I love , your closing, right? Especially when you are looking at your own business, your own technology, and your way of doing things. Who better can come up with , a solution , or see the applications of these co-pilot Gemini, no matter what I mean, type of tools you can use. [00:23:51] Mustansir Saifuddin: But these are , the ways you can innovate, right by looking at the processes. [00:23:56] Geoff Scott: Yes. Someone told me that they set up two agentic AI bots [00:24:00] and the two of them constructed a podcast and it was pretty good. So withstand zero. I'm worried that next time you and I meet, it's not gonna be you or I, it's gonna be our agentic AI counterparts, some version of us. [00:24:14] Mustansir Saifuddin: and yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I think it is here. It's going to be here at some point, so might as well embrace it. [00:24:22] Geoff Scott: Yeah. Absolutely. [00:24:23] Mustansir Saifuddin: Thanks for listening to Tech-Driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. Embracing innovation is no longer an option, but really a necessity for enterprise success. Geoff's key takeaway? Proactive experimentation with AI is crucial for SAP users to discover its business benefits. Engage with tools like copilot and Joule, participate in ASUG, and push for cloud migration to stay ahead of the rapid technological changes. We would love to hear from you.

O economista Marcus Thieme, que assumiu no início deste ano o comando da Caramuru Alimentos, uma das maiores processadoras de produtos como soja, milho, girassol e canola do País, diz que a questão da sustentabilidade é um desafio constante nesse negócio. “A sustentabilidade no setor agrícola não depende apenas das práticas dos produtores, mas de uma ação conjunta em toda a cadeia de suprimentos”, afirma. Thieme defende o papel de protagonismo do Brasil na questão ambiental, e diz que o País deve deixar o posto de observador e passar a pautar o debate.

Traders are anticipating a significant rise in corn acreage this year, with analysts estimating 94.4 million acres, up 4.2% from last year. Soybean futures were mostly unchanged, with expectations for acreage totaling 83.8 million, a decrease of 3.8% from last season. Wheat futures were under pressure due to potential developments surrounding the Black Sea ceasefire agreement.President Trump to Impose 25% Tariff on Imported Vehicles-President Trump announced that a 25% tariff will be imposed on all imported vehicles starting April 2, 2025. This permanent tariff is expected to significantly raise vehicle costs, potentially adding up to $12,000 to certain models. The move comes despite initial opposition from U.S. automakers who warned that such tariffs would harm their businesses. This new tariff will likely affect Mexico, the largest exporter of automobiles to the U.S., and Japan, the second largest exporter. Both countries are also major buyers of U.S. corn.Russian and Ukrainian Agricultural Exports Near Pre-War Levels-Despite ongoing conflicts, Russian and Ukrainian agricultural exports are almost back to pre-war levels. Ukraine's Black Sea grain shipments are performing near pre-war figures, and Russia continues to dominate the global wheat market. If a ceasefire agreement is reached, it is expected to reduce shipping costs by lowering war-related insurance premiums, making trade in the region more efficient.Nutrien Believes Black Sea Ceasefire Won't Significantly Impact Global Supplies-Nutrien, a Canadian fertilizer company, believes the proposed Black Sea ceasefire deal will have minimal impact on global fertilizer or grain supplies this year. Russian fertilizer exports are operating near full capacity, and Ukraine continues strong exports through alternative routes.US Ethanol Production Declines-U.S. ethanol production saw a decline last week, with weekly output of 1.05 million barrels per day down 4.7% from the previous week and slightly lower than the same week last year. Ethanol stocks rose by 2.9% from the previous week and 4.8% year-over-year, staying at levels comparable to early COVID times.JBS Surpasses Earnings Expectations-JBS, the world's largest meatpacker, reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, more than double the prior year. Strong demand for chicken and pork boosted earnings as consumers turned to more affordable meat options. However, JBS faces challenges due to historically low U.S. cattle supplies, which have driven beef prices to all-time highs.

Fundador da Fama Re.capital, primeira gestora de ativos voltada a unir retorno dos investimentos com o impacto para um futuro mais sustentável, Fabio Alperowitch diz que os ventos que levaram grande parte das companhias e agentes financeiros a se comprometer com questões climáticas, logo após a pandemia, não era a preocupação genuína. “Era interesses em captar recursos, porque era o momento em que o mundo falava disso.” Com a mudança no tabuleiro político, os compromissos dessas companhias desapareceram na mesma velocidade que tinham surgido. Para ele, vivemos apenas um “aperitivo” do que virá em relação às transformações climáticas. “Vem muito mais por aí”, afirma. “A realidade se impõe e a natureza é muito maior do que (Donald) Trump (presidente dos EUA).” Os prejuízos forçarão as mudanças verdadeiras.

This is a story about how a single TikTok video, taped in 2023 outside a meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado would change the lives of hundreds of Haitian immigrants, and embroil JBS – the world's largest meatpacking company – in a controversy over mistreating workers. Reported by FERN senior producer Ted Genoways and produced in partnership with Reveal, this episode dives deep into a poorly understood part of the food system, which is depended on foreign-born workers the government now seems intent on deporting.

Give to help Chris make Truce William F. Buckley Jr. helped change the face of conservatism in the US because he gave it intellectual backing. But that doesn't mean that his ideas were accepted completely. He had several nemesis within his own movement that tried to derail him. One opponent was the John Birch Society. Buckley's whole modus operandi was to make conservatism respectable. But Robert Welch and other members of the JBS were using their movement to spread bogus conspiracy theories. They were actively discrediting the movement that Buckley tried to build. So Buckley, National Review, and Barry Goldwater tried to bring it down. Another enemy was Ayn Rand. Buckley and Rand were libertarians, but they disagreed on something important: religion. Rand was an ardent atheist, while Buckley believed Christianity and conservatism were inseparable. When Buckley started Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) he discovered that his young followers were incorporating many other ideas into their ideology. Rand's writings were impacting the students. So Buckley had to work to expel those ideas from YAF. Libertarian economist Murray Rothbard was another enemy. Rothbard actively encouraged his followers to split YAF and leave the organization. Extremism leads to extremism. Extremism lends itself to ideological purity, which means that groups like YAF were destined to split and split and split again. Buckley has his work cut out for him.

When it comes to solving the world's biggest challenges—climate change, food insecurity, and public health—where do we even start? According to Sarah Lake, CEO of Tilt Collective, the answer lies in a powerful combination of philanthropy and plant-rich diets. In her conversation with Dr. Frank Sabatino on the Health Science Podcast, Sarah outlined how these two forces can drive systemic change and create a sustainable future. Here's why this matters—and how you can help move the needle. Philanthropy: A Critical Catalyst for Change Can philanthropy really make a difference in climate action? Sarah Lake confirmed this to be true. Philanthropic investments do more than fund projects—they de-risk innovative ideas, paving the way for larger public and private sector funding. “Philanthropy is critical in paving the pathway for greater investment, even when governments are slow to act,” Sarah explained. Examples from renewable energy and electric vehicles show how early philanthropic contributions spark momentum that leads to transformative results. But philanthropy doesn't just support new technologies; it also helps reframe critical conversations. Tilt Collective conducts research to showcase the value of these investments, providing policymakers with clear, actionable data that resonates with their priorities. Whether it's reducing healthcare costs or strengthening food security, philanthropy opens doors to solutions that might otherwise be overlooked. The Power of Plant-Rich Diets: Five Times the Impact Here's a shocking statistic: Shifting to plant-rich diets has five times the climate impact of renewable energy. That's right—your plate has more power than your Prius. “This isn't about making a more sustainable cow—it's about removing the cow from the equation,” Sarah noted. Producing and consuming less meat drastically cuts greenhouse gas emissions, reduces food waste, and frees up land for carbon sequestration. By turning agricultural land into carbon sinks, we can double down on climate benefits. The best part? Change doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. Sarah emphasized that even small reductions in meat consumption—especially among the biggest consumers—can make a huge difference. In the U.S., for example, 50% of red meat is consumed by just 12% of the population. Addressing overconsumption alone could move us significantly closer to climate goals. Breaking Barriers: Making Plant-Based Choices Accessible Why aren't plant-based options more widespread? Sarah pointed to systemic issues like food deserts and economic inequality, particularly in the U.S., where affordable, calorie-dense fast food often wins over healthier, more sustainable choices. “People want the McDonald's Big Mac that fits their $5 budget,” she explained. Meanwhile, in countries like the U.K., government subsidies make plant-based options more affordable, encouraging widespread adoption. Tilt Collective is working to bridge this gap by advocating for policies that make plant-rich options accessible and affordable for everyone. But they can't do it alone—and that's where you come in. Hope on the Horizon: Why Change Is Possible Despite the challenges, Sarah is optimistic. “Money talks and cows walk,” she said, pointing to businesses that are already profiting from plant-based innovations. Companies like JBS, the world's largest meat processor, have entered the plant-based market and are seeing exponential growth in alternative protein products. Capitalism, Sarah believes, will ultimately drive the transition to sustainable food systems. But to accelerate this shift, we need public demand and continued investment in research and innovation. What You Can Do Today Here's how you can make a difference: Support Plant-Rich Choices: Every meal matters. Start by incorporating more plant-based options into your diet. Demand Better Policies: Call on companies and governments to prioritize sustainable food systems. Invest in the Movement: Support organizations like Tilt Collective that are driving systemic change through research, advocacy, and innovation. Join the Movement Tilt Collective hosted the webinar, Five Big Ideas for 2025, to spotlight progress in plant-rich food systems and outline actionable steps for the future.

Thinking "White" lost the fight in every civilization & kingdom our Gothic/Germanic ancestors created.

JBS Journalist Micah Halpern continues exploring the ethics of releasing convicted terrorists from Israeli prisons, drawing parallels to the 1286 kidnapping and ransom of Rabbi Meir of Rothenberg—this and more on this episode of "Thinking Out Loud" on JBS.

Mackenson Remy didn't plan to bypass security when he drove into the parking lot of a factory in Greeley, Colorado. He'd never been there before. All he knew was this place had jobs…lots of jobs. Remy is originally from Haiti, and in 2023, he'd been making TikTok videos about job openings in the area for his few followers, mostly other Haitians.What Remy didn't know was that he had stumbled onto a meatpacking plant owned by the largest meat producer in the world, JBS. The video he made outside the facility went viral, and hundreds of Haitians moved for jobs at the plant. But less than a year later, Remy—and JBS—were accused of human trafficking and exploitation by the union representing workers at the plant. “This is America. I was hoping America to be better than back home,” says Tchelly Moise, a Haitian immigrant and union rep. “Someone needs to be held accountable for this, because this is not okay anywhere.” This week on Reveal, reporter Ted Genoways with the Food & Environment Reporting Network looks into JBS' long reliance on immigrant labor for this work—and its track record of not treating those workers well. The difference this time is those same workers are now targets of President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda.

Give to help Chris make Truce Robert Welch was a candy magnate who invented the Sugar Daddy and sold favorites like Junior Mints and Milk Duds. He was also very anti-communist. His dubious research led him to found the John Birch Society, a group whose mission was to spread conspiracy theories worldwide. They had major support from wealthy men like Fred Koch, father of the Koch brothers (who financed opposition to Obamacare and climate change legislation). Some of their most notable campaigns were those against Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren and President Dwight Eisenhower. They claimed that these men were communist sympathizers working behind the scenes to put the communist agenda. Bogus stuff, but they gained thousands of followers across the country. They also fought the income tax, said that black people would not have wanted equality if the communists hadn't taught them to, and argued that the US is a republic and not a democratic republic. Phyllis Schlafly, RJ Rushdoony, Tim LaHaye, and many others had ties to the birchers. This group had a huge influence on the Religious Right! Not to mention shifting the GOP to accept extremists. Our special guest for this episode is Dr. Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University. His book is Birchers: How the John Birch Society Radicalized the American Right.
