The next story is farmers. This story got me so emotional that I came in on fire yesterday

and I brought Tommy and I brought Paul and I said, guys, I want to share this with you.

Rob, do you have that clip of the farmers? If you go to my Twitter account,

if you go to my Twitter account, here's what you'll find. Keep going. Keep going.

It's like the right there. That video. So, check this out. Imagine you own a farm that's been

passed you from your family and a family that passed it to you, bless you, grandparents passed

down to you. That farm is roughly $6,000 an acre, which will be a total of $2.6 million.

And a data center company comes in and offers you 10 times the amount. What do you mean?

Not $2.6 million. We'll pay you $26 million. What would you do? Here's what this lady did

when they got the $26 million offer. Go for it, Rob. If it's my way, I'll stay and hold and feed a

nation. $26 million doesn't mean anything. Some people might find it hard to understand how

Delcia Bearer can turn away a $26 million offer to buy some of her land until you spend a little

time with her walking the dirt road she grew up on and in the house her daddy built.

My grandfather and great-grandfather and a whole bunch of family has all lived here for years.

Paid taxes on it, fed a nation off of it, even raised wheat through the depression and kept

bread lines up in the United States of America when people didn't have anything else.

Delcia is one of dozens of landowners approached by an anonymous buyer, one of the major players

in artificial intelligence, likely Google or Meta or Amazon, to purchase their land.

The market value for land in Mason County is about $6,000 an acre.

The realtor that came to her door last April offered her and her mother about 10 times that.

They call us old stupid farmers, you know, but we're not. We know whenever our food is disappearing,

our lands are disappearing, and we don't have any water and poison. We know we've had it.

Delcia's mom, Aida Huddleston, is now 82 years old. She says she does not need the money or the

hassle. She was born on this land and she plans to die here and she certainly does not trust the

promises made by the AI companies or the people who want them to build here. So what do you say to

the people who are in town that say, hey, this is going to bring jobs. This is going to bring

economic prosperity. I say there are a lot and a truth ain't in them. This is what I say. It's a scam.

For Delcia scam or not, she says she's connected to her home like Scarlet O'Hara was

in gone with the wind. As long as she was attached to that land, her spirit never would die.

That's that's the exact same same thing for me right here. As long as I'm on this land,

as long as it's feeding me, as long as it's taking care of me, there's nothing can destroy me

if I've got this land. Ain't that amazing? That's cool. Ain't that amazing? Ain't that kind of

emotional right when you watch it? Wow. Right. You know, I watched this multiple times and it

reminded me of something. You know, back in the days, there was a Paul Harvey. Okay. And Paul

Harvey told the story one time about the farmer, Rob, I sent it to you. This is one of the most,

I don't know why it's one of the most emotional videos you'll listen to on how it ends.

I brought Tom and Tom and I are literally sitting in my office and Tom is asking himself,

why the hell has Pat showed me a video of farming? Are we about to go into the farm business?

Are we going to turn our, you know, 11 acre property into a farm? Are we now all of us

are going to see cows and stuff like that and animals? I mean, I'm sure Vinny would like the animals.

Are we going to do that? I said, no, just watch this video to the end because I have some thoughts.

I'm thinking about something. Watch this message discernment from Paul Harvey decades ago on farmers.

Go ahead, Rob. And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said,

I need a caretaker. So God made a farmer. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before

dawn, milk cows work all day in the fields, milk cows again, each supper, then go to town and

stay past midnight at the meeting of the school board. So God made a farmer. I need somebody with

arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild.

Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to wait lunch until his

wife's done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon

and mean it. So God made a farmer. God said, I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a new

born cold and watch it die and dry his eyes and say maybe next year. I need somebody who can

shape an axe and pull from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make

harness out of hay, wire, feed, sacks and shoe scraps, who planting time and harvest season will

finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon and then painting from tractor back, put in another 72

hours. So God made a farmer. God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to

get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in midfield and grace to help when you see

the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So God made a farmer. God said, I need somebody strong

enough to clear trees and heave veils, yet gentle enough to yeen lambs and ween pigs and tend to

pink combed bullets who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a metal arc.

It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed weed,

feed, breed and break and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and

replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard week's work with a five mile drive to church.

Somebody who'd bail a family together with a soft strong bonds of sharing who would laugh and then

sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life

doing what dad does. So God made a farmer. Wow. Wow. It's not powerful. Wow. It's not amazing.

That's crazy. It's not amazing. It's beautiful, Harvey. You know, there's something about

farmers that's emotional. I don't know what it is. You know, to me, I'm convinced God's

favorite sport is baseball. I think he watches a baseball. And a part of baseball for me is when

you think about the movie with Kevin Costner, what is it called? The Field of Dreams. Yeah.

And they're on that farm and you know, shoeless Joe Jackson comes out and every night they're

out there and it's like, this can't be real. I'm telling you, people are going to come and they

start showing up and just a good old, you know, you and I sit there and we eat the chicken or we

eat this and we don't think about it. You know, what did the steak come from? What did the chicken come

from? I go, how did they do it? What did they do? It's because of farmers. And the fact that you

hear, so there's, it's funny because we went from all AI, what Courtney is doing, what Anthropics

doing, what Claude is doing. But to me, I would prefer to talk to human beings every single day

and not have to talk to these language learning models. I prefer team human. I prefer people.

I prefer us going. I don't think people realize truly, if you work here, Tom, Brandon, Rob,

guys in the back that are doing their thing, Justin, how often do we run podcasts?

All day, we're running a podcast. It's always like this. We're always talking like this. What do you

think about this? What do you think? Well, here's what I would do and it's constant debate back and

forth. You know why? I love human beings, man. I love people. I love, it's not even close. All

these tools that are out there, we got to use it to be competitive. But at the end of the day,

there is something so beautiful about what a farmer does that an AI language learning model will

never, ever get my heart the way a farmer gets my heart. Something about it. Something about it.

When you see that, Tom, your thoughts.

You know, I think that in an ancient technology and everything that's out there, you know,

it grows up around you and everything that's going on. And sometimes you miss, you can miss

the human side of it. And Paul Harvey, I remember listening to Paul Harvey. I was in college and

and I would go over my, go over to my grandma like twice a week, round, right around lunchtime,

just to check on her and say hi, never mind she'd made lunch, you know, and I'm a college student,

I'm broke. And she'd be listening to news and on AM radio and LA and Paul Harvey used to come on

at noon on AM radio and LA. And I would hear him in his common sense tone and it was just the

human tone. And then I see this and I see the images that are put with it. And it's like,

have we lost it? Have we lost that humanness? Has the anonymity of the internet allowed people

to be just so intense with their words that they've lost the human side of it? And so when I see

that, I just think of the human side and it's like, wow, you know, how much more can we, you know,

calibrate, you know, to the human side? You know, that's what I love about baseball games.

I love going to baseball games because you're sitting around a lot of other people.

Well, but you're also sitting around other people, right? And you're forced to sit really close

to the other so you meet somebody and you talk to somebody. Would you rather sit next to other

people or Courtney? Can you imagine if like the anthropic is sitting next to you? So Courtney,

what's the most likely result that this game's going to end up with? This is probably going to end

up being a score of four, two, where the picture will have nine strikeouts.

What a boring conversation. Can you imagine that? No. I want to talk to a human being that's

going to make a mistake. That's emotional. That's ax dumb says dumb things at times. You know,

sometimes you get it right. You get it like, wow, that was a great point. And you know,

that you want that feeling. What COVID did to us was what? And what COVID did to us is just tell us,

no matter the most annoying thing in the world, which is a human being is also the thing we love

the most. Yeah, we missed it. How you doing, man? Remember, remember, you're hugging your,

you hugged in a different way. It was like a hug like bodybuilder sucks. Man, how you doing?

Man, what's your human being? This is cool. I'm seeing other people. You wanted to go to restaurants.

There's other people here, man. This is so great. It was a very weird thing. But I think as we're

going this next direction, there was a guy in LA, Tom, you may remember this guy from the church.

He was a felon. He went to prison for many years. And he looked like a felon. And he talked

like a felon. And when I mean like a felon, I'm talking tatted up, probably on TRT, juiced up, but

on fire with Jesus, guy, and just sincere. And he came up with a very weird idea. Here's what

his idea was. He worked for a junkyard when he got out of prison because nobody would hire him.

And he made a promise to himself that he's going to build a company that 100% of all his hires are

what? Expolence. Expons. 100%. So he goes, he saves the money that he makes working at this junkyard

and he buys a junkyard later on. And he's got like 100 some employees. They're doing 27, 28

million a year. Guess what they are? Every one of them was a felon. And he says, look, that's, I'm

I'm team second chances because I understand. You know what I think's going to happen? I think

we're going to experience that in the future where some companies are like, we hire human beings.

Can you imagine? It's going to be like, look, I know it's not the popular thing to do is 2052

or 2048. Think about what 2048 is going to be like. We're in 2026. What is 2048 going to look like?

You know, the woman in the podcast was said something that I was a lot of what she said,

obviously struck a chord. But the fact that food and water, you take this land for data centers

and understand the profit motive. But where's food and water going to come from if that just continues

to get eaten up? So I mean, she said, God bless this woman. I mean, she really,

innocent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, I don't know how many people could turn down

that type of money with that type of belief and conviction. You know, I think if you know,

most of us, if we're honest, that's it's a hard thing to turn down and have that type of

of moral compass that this woman has. So, you know, it's wonderful to see. Yeah, inspirational.

Some people would say 26 million is not what it used to be. But Brandon, what do you think about it?

Um, yeah. I'll say you converted me a little bit because there are the last couple of years,

I was kind of hard on the farmers. And that was all team vertical farming and desalination and

whatnot. Talk about how irrigation is inefficient. But you're totally right. You know, farming is

a beautiful thing. And it's like, it's like, it's like church, man. Yeah. Going to good church

interacted with the world. Oh, man, it's so beautiful, man. If you if you're a farmer out there,

I just want to say thank you. Honestly, thank you. You know how we walk at least when you go

to the airport and you see a man in uniform, what can you say? Thank you for your service.

Unfortunately, we don't have a uniform farmer's wear for us to say thank you for your service.

But truly, I want to say thank you to you. You're so important for society. You're doing God's work.

Can you imagine how important your job, you're doing God's work and we're all grateful for you.

May you have protection to continue doing what you're doing. The legacy left behind you with

your father, your grandfather, your grandmother, all of them. Very important, very important what

you're doing. 51% of you consume the content here on the podcast. We have not subscribed.

can go here. We're planning on building a building. And we got some good news on how high we can

go on the building that we're going to build here to a house, a couple thousand employees. We're

hiring aggressively. Rob, if you want to play the clip for some people, I just think this is a

podcast. There's a lot of stuff that's going on here. Go for it and play this clip. Many times,

when people think about vitamin, all they think about is a podcast, but it's a lot more than that.

It's nine companies working together on an 11 acre campus. If I was to give you virtual tour here,

you'll see the HR department hiring talent acquisition. We have full stack developers that are

working on maniac and hire metrics. We have a full-fledged events team that puts together events with

thousands of people. We have a merch department designing the latest product. We just launched the

FLB shoes made in Italy. We have a marketing department. Then if you go to the complete office

of society, to build 50, 60 people making calls working for bed even consulting sales,

setters. And then on the complete office of society campus, there's a full-on production company

with editors, shooters, creating content, doing podcasts. Then it can drive down a couple

miles and go to our private boardroom, cigar lounge, with members only. Regardless of what it is,

working at value-taming every day is a surprise. You could be walking into work and right next to you

is a governor, is a billionaire, is an athlete. We are hiring aggressively, but vitaminism for everybody.

For the right person, this could be the last company you ever work for. So if you're watching this,
