Podcast appearances and mentions of Price fixing

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Seven Chinese nationals and four Chinese companies have been indicted by the US Department of Justice for price-fixing during the pandemic. The indictment alleges the men - through their companies - limited the production of dry good shipping containers in order to constrain the supply and drive up prices from late November 2019 through 2024. Plus, is Pax Americana ending? It doesn't have to. And that just might explain why President Trump is doing what he's doing on the international stage.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

Cattle Industry News Nebraska Fire Relief After more than 800,000 acres have burned in Nebraska wildfires, livestock producers are now searching for places to graze their animals. The Nebraska Cattlemen's Association says there are two main options — both showing how neighbors are stepping up to help. One option is feeding cattle hay. Donations are arriving by the truckload, but hay can still be expensive. The second option is a free online tool called the Nebraska Grazing Exchange. It connects ranchers who need land with farmers who have pasture available. People who want to help can sign up, list what they can offer, and connect directly with ranchers in need. Once a match is made, the next step is moving the animals to that land. Laura Field, Executive Vice President of Nebraska Cattlemen, says support has been overwhelming. She says tough times like this bring out the best in the agriculture community. Field says some ranchers have lost up to 70 or 80 percent of their summer grazing land, and may need to move cattle to entirely different regions — even out of state. But she says help is coming from all directions — across the country. Field also says she doesn't expect long-term economic damage. She says Nebraska's beef industry is strong and resilient, and will weather this challenge. While moving cattle — also known as rotational grazing — isn't new, the situation right now is complicated. Field says burned areas are filled with damaged equipment like fencing, water systems, and other infrastructure. She says groups are working with state and federal partners to match needs with resources and get supplies where they're needed most. As for concerns about ranchers leaving the state, Field says the grass will grow back — and the cattle will return. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture adds that grazing can actually help prevent future wildfires by reducing dry plant material. Nebraska Grazing Exchange   References: https://www.klkntv.com/online-tool-connects-farmers-with-available-land-to-cattle-ranchers-in-need-of-grazing-area-after-wildfires/   Global Meat Trade & Demand A series of market-moving events, including a strike at a JBS beef plant, geopolitical tensions involving Iran, shifting oil prices and tariff uncertainty, have yet to derail strong beef demand, as wholesale prices continued to climb, according to analysis by Drovers and Sterling Marketing Profit Tracker. Market fundamentals have shifted in recent weeks. Lower fed cattle prices combined with higher boxed beef values improved packer margins while pressuring feedlots. For the week ending March 14, packer margins were estimated at a loss of $54.17 per head, narrowing from deeper losses in prior weeks. The beef cutout rose to $390.66 per cwt. Feedlot margins turned negative, estimated at a loss of $48.79 per head. Elevated breakevens continue to  pressure feedlots despite strong demand. Hamburger prices on restaurant menus are 14% higher in the last three years, but beef production costs jumped 32% since January 2023, according to a new report from food industry intelligence firm,  Datassential. Burger inflation is roughly in line with broader restaurant prices, despite the effects of chronically tight beef supplies. Food away from home — which approximates all food service including dine-in, takeout and delivery — rose 4% in 2025 and is 13% higher since January 2023, according to the federal government's Consumer Price Index. The Datassential report pointed out that restaurant pricing strategy can keep prices on popular items in check to avoid hurting turnover, while causing cost burdens to be spread throughout the operation. Burgers in particular are a source of traffic, especially in the quick-service segment.

In recent months, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has floated legislation aimed at restructuring the industry, while President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Justice to investigate major beef packers for potential antitrust violations. The unusual bipartisan convergence reflects mounting political pressure to address food affordability, even as economists and industry leaders say the fundamental driver of high beef prices lies elsewhere. The renewed focus on meatpacker consolidation follows years of debate over the market dominance of the so-called “Big Four” beef packers (JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill and National Beef), which together handle roughly 80% of U.S. cattle slaughter. Trump last fall directed the DOJ to investigate whether large packers engaged in “Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation,” while several Republican lawmakers voiced support for stronger antitrust enforcement. At the same time, Schumer and other Democrats are preparing legislation that would attempt to curb consolidation across the food system, including potentially forcing meat companies to focus on a single protein.   Reference: https://meatingplace.com/in-depth-meatpacker-consolidation-back-in-washingtons-crosshairs/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260320014&utm_date=20260321-0630   Florida Ban On Lab-Grown Meat Update Florida's ban on cultivated meat will stay in place after a federal appeals court upheld the law in a ruling released Monday. The case was brought by Upside Foods, a California company that produces lab-grown chicken, after the law took effect in July of 2024. A three-judge panel on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the ban does not conflict with federal laws regulating traditional poultry. The court said the state law doesn't control how the product is made — only whether it can be sold — meaning federal law does not override it. The decision also upholds an earlier ruling from a federal district court that dismissed the case. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who supported the law, called the ruling a win for farmers and consumers. Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill, has also defended the measure, saying it protects Florida agriculture from what he calls “lab-grown alternatives.” Florida was the first state to pass a ban on cultivated meat. Since then, several others — including Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas — have followed. The bans come as the lab-grown meat industry is still in its early stages. The Food and Drug Administration first approved cultivated meat for sale in 2022. Supporters of the industry argue these state laws could slow innovation, cost jobs, and limit competition. It's not yet clear if Upside Foods plans to appeal the ruling.

Beef Industry News Tyson Announced The Closing Of Beef Plant In Nebraska The beef business has been a buzz this past week when Tyson, one of the Nation's largest meat packing companies, announced plans to close a large beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska.   The news of the possible closing comes just weeks after President Donald Trump claimed the four largest companies are driving up the prices on purpose, to keep meat prices high for the consumer. On November 7, Trump took to social media to call for a DOJ investigation into the price fixing claims by saying “I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation. We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation's food supply.” Back in October, Tyson and Cargill agreed to pay more than $87.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit for "inflating" beef prices by limiting the supply to the public. Trump's most recent claims earlier in November call out the foreign owned meat packers, as well as the American-owned ones, like Tyson. The White House website also posted about how much influence the top four meat companies have over the price of beef saying "The “Big Four” meat packers — JBS (Brazil), Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — currently dominate 85% of the U.S. beef processing market, up from just 36% in 1980. Two of these companies, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign-owned or have significant foreign ownership and control." References: https://thenationaldesk.com/news/nation-world/report-tyson-to-close-large-meat-plant-just-weeks-after-trumps-collusion-claims Price Fixing In The Beef Industry According to agricultural economists and the National News Desk, beef prices at the grocery store aren't expected to budge, even after Tyson Foods announced it will close one beef plant and scale back another. Texas A&M economist David Anderson says government investigations into meat-packer collusion are also unlikely to lower prices. He notes that cattle prices are at record highs, and even the big processors are losing money. “If they had real market power, they wouldn't be losing money,” Anderson says. Right now, ground beef averages $6.33 a pound, up more than 11% from last year. The core issue, Anderson says, is tight cattle supply—the smallest U.S. beef-cow herd since the early 1960s. Anderson explains that every beef-packing plant, not just Tyson, is operating in the red because live cattle prices are rising faster than wholesale beef prices—a normal pattern when herds are low. When cattle are plentiful, the roles reverse: ranchers lose money and packers profit. Despite concerns about the dominance of a few large meatpackers, Anderson says there's little evidence they can artificially inflate grocery store prices. “To push prices higher, you have to control supply,” he says. “And packers don't own the cattle or the feedlots.” So what is driving today's high beef prices? A shrinking cattle herd, shaped by years of drought, rising costs, and previously low prices. And rebuilding that herd takes time. A calf born last spring won't have its first calf until 2027, and that next generation won't reach market weight until late 2029. “It's hard to beat biology,” Anderson says. “We can't speed that up.” Until then, experts say beef prices at the grocery store will likely stay high—no matter what happens in the packing plants.

As of November 24, the EDCC has confirmed 29 EHV-1 cases associated with the event. The cases are located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, Arizona, and South Dakota. Herpesvirus is highly contagious among horses and can cause a variety of ailments. In many horses, the first or only sign of EHV-1 infection is fever, which can go undetected. In addition to fever, other common signs of EHV-1 infection in young horses include cough, decreased appetite, depression, and a nasal discharge. Pregnant mares typically show no signs of infection before they abort, and abortions usually occur late in gestation (around eight months) but can be earlier. Abortions can occur anywhere from two weeks to several months following infection with EHV-1. Herpesvirus is easily spread by nose-to-nose or close contact with an infectious horse; sharing contaminated equipment including bits, buckets, and towels; or clothing, hands, or equipment of people who have recently had contact with an infectious horse. Routine biosecurity measures, including hygiene and basic cleaning and disinfection practices, should be in place at all times to help prevent disease spread. Already, some equine events have been cancelled or postponed due to EHV-1, while others have been put on high alert, including the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.  If your horses show any  concerning signs or abnormalities, especially a fever or neurological symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

U.S. Officials Confirm Beef Packers Are Under Investigation U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating U.S. beef packers for antitrust issues. In posts to X (formerly Twitter), both Trump administration cabinet members seconded the president's Friday TruthSocial post, which alleged beef packers are “driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation.” Trump further alleged that “Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers” were inflating food prices and jeopardizing “the security of our Nation's food supply.” The meat institute issued their statement on the beef processing sector DOJ investigation by saying despite high consumer prices for beef, beef packers have been losing money because the price of cattle is at record highs.  For more than a year, beef packers have been operating at a loss due to a tight cattle supply and strong demand.  The meat institute said the beef industry is heavily regulated, and market transactions are transparent. The government's own data from USDA confirms that the beef packing sector is experiencing catastrophic losses and experts predict this will continue into 2026. U.S. beef processors welcome a fact-based discussion about beef affordability and how best to meet the needs of American consumers, who are the industry's most important stakeholders.

Kamala Harris claims that she simply wants food prices to be lower. However, her de facto price fixing scheme would create food shortages and raise the real price of food.

Recovering from Hurricane Milton. Please accept my apologies for not being able to post a new episode. I am safe but need a few days of mental vacation giving the nerve-wracking past few days. On this edition of Parallax Views, we delve into the explosive story of a software company and corporate landlords accused of engaging in a criminal conspiracy to artificially jack-up prices in the U.S. rental housing market. Lee Hepner of the American Economic Liberties Project joins the show to discuss the scandal-plagued software company RealPage and algorithmic price-fixing in the U.S. rental housing market as well as what was recently described in The Atlantic as the emerging "AI Price Fixing Dystopia". We'll talk about how the relationship between vacancies and rental prices has changed since the introduction of software of the kind RealPage is selling, the significance of the RealPage antitrust case, and how scandals like this tie into the issue of evictions and homelessness. We'll also delve into broader issues related to cartels and the threat monopoly capital poses to U.S. consumers, the Google antitrust lawsuit and Judge Amit Mehta ruling that Google is a monopolist in violation of antitrust laws, the significance of the Google antitrust lawsuit and what could come of it, the Federal Trade Commision's Lina Khan and Department of Justice Jonathan Kanter & the antirust project, how price fixing also ties into food and airline prices, countering anti-antitrust propaganda, the concept of "greedflation" as the cause of inflation, and much, much more.

The streets of San Francisco may be known for Dirty Harry, movie car chases, and the birth of the hippie movement, but they will no longer be associated with rental price-setting software. That's because the Golden Gate City is in line to be the first in the U.S. to ban the tech tools allegedly associated with landlord price fixing. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an ordinance introduced by its supervisor and mayoral hopeful Aaron Peskin that bans landlords from using specific software and algorithms to set rents. The measure will still need to be approved by the mayor next month before it can be enforced.
