Summary
What if the food on your table was the frontline of America’s fight for freedom? Former Navy SEAL David Rutherford sits down with RS June from the Beef Initiative to expose how corporate giants control 85% of America’s beef—and how local ranchers are fighting back.
RS June’s story is one of resilience. From the streets of Philadelphia to helping launch the Beef Initiative alongside Texas Slim, he shares how food sovereignty, Bitcoin, and rancher-direct beef became his mission for freedom and health.
Key Takeaways:
- How four multinational corporations control the U.S. beef supply
- Why we’re losing 77 family farms every day
- The truth about seed oils, obesity, and broken food systems
- How the Beef Initiative connects you directly to ranchers
- Why local beef is about more than food—it’s about freedom, health, and community

| 0:04.2 | So if you're like me and you're got your head buried in current events and constantly |
| 0:11.5 | looking for things that provoke a deeper emotional reaction to amidst all of the madness and |
| 0:20.3 | the chaos going on in life, I got to tell you, this |
| 0:24.4 | group came across my feet on X, man, and it stopped me in my tracks. It's, you know, under |
| 0:34.0 | the name beef initiative.com. And I stopped on this and I started to dig into it. |
| 0:40.2 | And I saw this incredible organization that is really dedicated to bringing ranchers back to the forefront of the food supply chain and to try and get rid of all of the other corporate entities that are trying to disrupt our connection to nature and to our food supply. |
| 1:02.0 | And so when I saw this, man, I just got overwhelmed and reached out through direct message, which I have a tendency to do for people. And lo and behold, |
| 1:14.3 | this wonderful gentleman that is on with us today, reached back out and was like, yeah, |

| 2:07.3 | You know, all right, RS, before we, you know, can you just give us a topical introduction to what it is you all are doing and just what it is, where people can find it and the overall |
| 2:21.8 | general idea of what's going on. |
| 2:25.0 | So the beef initiative, I like to say, is a think tank. |
| 2:29.2 | It's essentially what it is. |
| 2:30.7 | It's a modern day cattle organization with a focus on truth in food and truth in |
| 2:37.6 | journalism. You can't have one without the other. You need to educate people about where your food |
