A true cowboy takes his hat off before dinner, in honor of the meal before him and the people who have provided it.
Forrie J. Smith from the hit show “Yellowstone” is one of these true blue cowboys with deep rancher roots, and he has some serious wisdom to impart to Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Podcast” — as well as the rest of the country.
When Smith was a kid, he helped his grandfather take care of their cattle. However, he wasn’t so sure what the point of it all was.
“He looks at me with, ‘Well, son, we’re helping feed America. We’re helping feed our country,’ and that’s kind of the cowboy culture right there,” he tells Glenn. “We’re helping feed our country, we’re maintaining the grass and rotating our pasture to keep everything right.”
While there’s no doubt there’s an incredibly important purpose to the jobs of ranchers and farmers, the government has repeatedly attempted to hurt them through absurd rules and regulations — and it’s only getting worse.
“Another thing, Glenn, that really gets me is the cow farts,” Smith says. “We used to have 60 million buffalo and no telling how many elk running across the plains.”
“And they were farting animals,” Glenn laughs, though he notes that bison aren’t just good for farts. “There are no pure bison except in Yellowstone, and it’s my understanding that they sometimes thin the herd, and they just kill them instead of giving them to ranches so we can have pure-bred buffalo. The only pure buffalo or bison is owned by the government.”
“All of these people going hungry,” Smith says, disturbed. “It’s about one of the best meats you can eat.”
Not only is the government cracking down on meat born, raised, and butchered in the United States, but more of our meat is now coming from outside the country.
“30% of our beef now comes out of Brazil,” Smith explains. “We don’t know what has been done to it, you know, what did they inject in it before it got butchered, how are they butchering it, we have no clue.”
But it’s not just the agriculture industry that has Smith worried.
“I’m really scared of what’s going to happen after the election,” he tells Glenn. “I get around the country a lot more than I used to, and I’m meeting a lot of people and I talk to them about voting. And they’re like, ‘I ain't voting any more; I’m just buying more bullets.’”
“That’s one of the things that’s wrong with this country right now, is people don’t stand up. We just keep getting along,” he continues, adding, “I just want to spread that feeling: ‘Hey, we’re Americans.'”

Who will pick our apples, build our homes, and mow our lawns if not immigrants? Liberal politicians frequently ask this question, and the mainstream media repeats it. The goal is to disarm anyone questioning the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.
Never mind the elitist or racist undertones, to say nothing of any long-term concerns about demographic, cultural, political, or social changes all for the short-term benefit of cheap labor. The underlying message is that these jobs, filled by immigrants, are beneath American citizens.
Someone should fix America and what ails us — and not in some superficial, temporary worker kind of way.
Former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) have both recently said the quiet part out loud, but this ideology trickles down to Democratic voters. It’s reflected in people like my once-favorite journalism teacher, who shared a meme saying, “The immigrants ruining your life are Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel, not the apple picker ...”
It’s even in my own family. My mother, who moved to Houston from Cleveland, now has a man named Leo mow her grass for $25.
“I could never mow your lawn for that here,” I tell her, speaking from Ohio, where I own a landscaping company with employees on a real payroll with real payroll taxes.
But Mom thinks it is great. Cheap labor keeps her costs down. Our family wants my mother to move back to Ohio. I know she is thinking about it. She sends me links from Zillow of houses she looked at that might be more up my alley.
“I could never afford the house I have here in Ohio,” she says. “It has granite counter tops.”
Then she says something that makes me sad and makes me pause. “I couldn’t afford the house on Concord.”
That’s the house where I grew up and the one my parents, now divorced, sold for under $150,000 in the early 2000s. Houses on the same street now regularly sell for $300,000.
In the long term, my mother has less buying power than she did before, but Leo mows her lawn for practically nothing.
Hiring was bad prior to COVID — telling people to stay home and collect checks sent it into overdrive. In early spring of last year, when I pull up a list of past employees in our database we might rehire, I was stunned by the number who have since died from the heroin and opiate epidemic in the more than 15 years we’ve been in business.
And it just seems like someone should fix America and what ails us — and not in some superficial, temporary worker kind of way.
Maybe it is the drug epidemic, the destruction of the nuclear family, the nearly 1 million abortions America now performs annually, the cost of living, or the constant messaging that babies are a burden and a nuisance that is hammered into school-age children — especially girls — but Americans are not having babies like they used to.
Democrats will even tell us that Americans are not having enough babies to replace our current population, and we need mass immigration to replace them and replenish the tax base.
While campaigning for Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton suggested Georgia college student Laken Riley might still be alive if her killer had been properly vetted — something that the Biden-Harris administration neglected to do.
“Well If they’d all been properly vetted that probably wouldn’t have happened,” Clinton said regarding Riley’s murder before suggesting we still need immigration. “But if they are properly vetted and that doesn’t happen. ... And America is not having enough babies to keep our population up, so we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work.”
Clinton’s recent campaigning sounds a lot like “replacement theory” — the native population needs to be replenished and replaced by foreigners — although Wikipedia assures me that this is a “far-right conspiracy theory.” That’s a relief!
Jobs done with your bare hands offer even greater dignity than those in fields like insurance, pharmaceuticals, law, mortgage brokering, or the permanent bureaucracy.
Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance sat down recently with New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro to discuss the immigration crisis.. Garcia-Navarro seemed to bristle at the idea that American citizens could fill the jobs needed in the housing sector.
“You could absolutely re-engage American workers,” Vance said while alluding to re-engaging those who have willingly checked out of the workplace or those struggling with mental health or addiction.
“To work in construction?” Garcia-Navarro replied.
“Of course you could. ... This is one of the really deranged things that I think illegal immigration does to our society is that it gets us into the mindset of saying that we can only build houses with illegal immigrants — when we have 7 million, just men, who have completely dropped out of the labor force,” Vance said.
“People say, well, Americans won’t do those jobs. Americans won’t do those jobs for below-the-table wages. They won’t do those jobs for non-living wages,” Vance continued. “We cannot have an entire business community that is giving up on American workers and then importing millions of illegal laborers. That is what we have thanks to Kamala Harris’ border policy.”
I have heard different versions of the question of who will perform the work elitist leftists deem unclean or undesirable repeated often to defend mass immigration and the hiring of illegal immigrant workers. It is often coupled with the implication that Americans will not do the jobs they are unable to perform from the comfort of their home office and Zoom — farming, construction, or landscaping.
“Every MAGA I’ve ever seen complain about immigrants taking American jobs would never do this,” a viral tweet reads as the workers in the video harvest what appears to be broccoli.
It is somewhat laughable when I hear it, largely because I would put preparing and planting a new lawn from start to finish or building a paver patio — something we have done in the last few weeks with American employees — right up there with roofing, concrete, and indeed farming broccoli as extremely difficult and physically taxing jobs.
Work has inherent dignity — all work does. One could argue that jobs done with your bare hands offer even greater dignity than those in fields like insurance, pharmaceuticals, law, mortgage brokering, or the permanent bureaucracy.
And yet you will hear various demeaning, overtly racist or elitist iterations from liberals to the question of who will pick our produce, build our homes or mow our lawns if we do not allow for illegal immigration? And who will do that cheaply?
Jerry Nadler in January provided one the most transparent examples, saying American produce would rot in the fields if it were not for illegal immigrants.
“We need immigrants in this country — forget the fact that our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants,” the New York congressman said. “The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level, which means our population is going to start shrinking. And the ratio of people on Social Security and Medicare is going to increase relative to the number of people supporting them.”
I have wondered what it would look like if I ran my business like that.
Many of my peers or friends in the industry have done just that — as hiring foreign workers is essentially the business model throughout the “green industry” and commonplace at nurseries or with landscaping contractors.
On a cold and rainy March morning in Ohio this spring, I called a friend who also owns a landscaping company to see how he was handling the start of busy season.
“I am dropping off a load of plants,” he said.
I was shocked because at the time, I was wondering if the rain coming down might turn into snow.
“Our guys would quit,” I said, half joking, half not.
His guys were the eight Hondurans he was dropping off plants to.
They are all here legally through the H-2B program for temporary workers.
He houses them on his property — he is required to provide them with housing — and charges them rent. There was a season when he rented them a camper. This year he bought them a house.
If you zoom out — or took a drone image — of the modern business with a staff comprised of foreign workers toiling in the fields, doing the jobs deemed unworthy while living in a camper or a house out back, it must in some ways resemble a reimagining of the Southern plantation.
Maybe we should not live like that, and that business model should not be the goal. Maybe we should fix what ails us here.

A Democrat congresswoman from Michigan without a farm or farming-related license saves thousands of dollars every year in taxes because of an agriculture-related exemption for her property, an exclusive report from the New York Post reveals.
Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), a three-term congresswoman vying for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by retiring Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow, lives in Holly, Michigan, a rural village about 55 miles northwest of Detroit.
The images 'show a single-family home, woods and fields — but no farming,' the Post said
The property where she lives also comes with a full tax exemption because of a classification regarding "agricultural improvements." Under Michigan law, such improvements include:
any improvements, buildings, structures, or fixtures suitable for use in farming which are located on agricultural land. Agricultural improvements includes a single-family dwelling located on agricultural land which is or will be occupied by the beginning farmer and structures attached to or incidental to the use of the dwelling.
Michigan law permits the "agricultural" classification on properties on which at least 50% of land is used for agricultural purposes.
Once a property has been granted the classification, it can keep it even if the property changes hands and even if the property is no longer used for farming, as appears to be the case with Slotkin.
Slotkin's grandfather purchased the property in 1956 and used it to raise cattle, according to previous reporting from the Lansing City Pulse.
When Slotkin's grandfather acquired the property, he reportedly had between 400 and 500 head of cattle that eventually became the beef used in hot dogs sold at the now-defunct Tiger Stadium.
Slotkin's grandfather slowly sold his beef company, and by the time Slotkin moved to the property as a child in 1980, the cattle were "gone," the Pulse said.
Slotkin's father, Curtis, gifted the family property to Slotkin and her brother in May 2023, the Post said.
Sometime before Slotkin received the property from her father, the property was granted the "agricultural" designation that remains attached to the property to this day, saving Slotkin about $2,700 a year in property taxes, the Post claimed.
Yet according to the Post, the property has no current agricultural licenses associated with it, and aerial images of the property captured by drones indicate that no agricultural-related activity is conducted there.
The images "show a single-family home, woods and fields — but no farming," the Post said.
Though Slotkin does not currently appear to be engaging in farming activity in any meaningful sense, Michigan Farm News reported as recently as April that Slotkin "resides on her family’s beef cattle farm in Holly."
Slotkin, a member of the House Agricultural Committee, has also claimed during previous campaigns that she grew soybeans on the Holly property.
Owners can petition to have the "agricultural" classification removed from their property by submitting a written request to the Michigan State Tax Commission, the Post said.
In response to a request for comment, Slotkin's campaign told the Post: "Rep. Slotkin’s farm has been in her family for three generations since 1956. It has been agricultural since then and Oakland County has confirmed on multiple occasions that the property qualifies for the agricultural exemption."
National Republican Senatorial Committee spokeswoman Maggie Abboud told the Post that the report about Slotkin was "not a surprise."
"Phony politician Elissa Slotkin is lying to Michigan voters and pretending she is a farmer," she said.
Blaze News reached out to Slotkin's Republican opponent in the Senate race, Rep. Mike Rogers. His spokesperson redirected us to Abboud, who gave Blaze News the same statement provided to the Post.

The increase in illegal crossings has had a profound impact in recent years on American farmers and ranchers who own land near the southern border.
Illegal immigrants crossing into the United States have trespassed through agricultural land, often contaminating crops or causing property damage. Law enforcement has reported incidents of human smugglers performing "bailouts," a term used to describe when traffickers transporting illegal aliens attempt to make a high-speed car escape to evade capture. In these situations, the smugglers intentionally crash their vehicles, and the unlawful occupants flee on foot in different directions.
Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at the Heritage Foundation, told Blaze News, "The damage to federal and private land, agriculture, and wildlife caused by mass illegal border crossings by foot is one of the many types of preventable collateral damage caused by the Biden administration's opening of U.S. borders and neglect of law enforcement. Those who claim to care about the natural landscape seem to keep quiet on this issue."
Hankinson provided testimony before the House Committee on Natural Resources, Subcommittee on Federal Lands, in October, where he addressed the environmental costs caused by illegal aliens unlawfully traveling through Yuma, Arizona.
"Because of strict food safety regulations, each human trace requires farmers to destroy all the crops in a given radius from any perceived human contamination, from mere footprints to feces and menstrual pads, causing millions of dollars in uninsured losses," he told lawmakers. "The human waste and trash produced by the endless foot traffic not only pollutes crops but also harms wildlife, taints water, and damages delicate desert environments."
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality previously estimated that each person crossing the border leaves behind roughly six to eight pounds of trash.
'None of these crops are insurable.'
Gary Joiner, Texas Farm Bureau spokesperson, told Blaze News that the increase in illegal crossings has adversely affected the state's local and regional agricultural communities.
"Those impacts, particularly on an individual basis, can be devastating financially after a complete loss of the property's usability," Joiner explained. "Fences are cut, damaged, or destroyed by people and/or vehicles. Livestock escape from damaged or destroyed fences and gates onto roadways and highways. Water sources on private property are damaged or destroyed. Clothes and trash are littered on property. Many ranchers have discovered deceased illegal migrants on their property."
Larry Reagan, president of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, told Blaze News, "Our farmers and ranchers in our border communities and beyond need Congress to work together to develop solutions to the challenges they face. Together, we must ensure that foreign labor programs are usable and accessible for farmers and ranchers who rely heavily on foreign labor to fill the domestic worker shortage in food production while ensuring that our border communities are not left to deal with the increased pressures of immigration alone."
Yuma County, Arizona, is known as the nation's "winter salad bowl." From November through April, it produces more than 91% of North America's leafy greens, an industry worth over $4 billion. According to Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines (R), the county began noticing a "significant increase" in unlawful crossings around January 2022.
The increase in illegal immigration under President Joe Biden has ignited concerns among the agricultural community, particularly regarding crop preservation.
Lines told Blaze News that the Biden administration had agreed to fill the gaps left in the border wall near crop production. The federal government purchased "new material, despite the fact that all of the material purchased under [former President Donald] Trump was sitting adjacent to where these walls needed to be completed," he stated.
"They had the Corps of Engineers design a new type of wall that could easily be removed, and they plugged those gaps," Lines explained.
Before the Biden administration closed the gaps in the border wall near the farmland in Yuma County, farmers were forced to take other preventive measures to protect their crops from illegal aliens, including "inspect[ing] their fields on a daily basis and look for unauthorized entry," according to Lines.
"If they found any type of unauthorized entry into their fields, they then had to conduct tests. But for the most part, they would immediately rope it off, or destroy the crop, or make a decision to allow the entire field to go to seed," he continued. "The problem with this narrative is that none of these crops are insurable."
Lines explained that farmers could not get tractors through the fields if they constructed walls or fences around their own land.
"Their easements and their ownership of those properties would have to be extended another 20 or 30 feet in order to put a barricade. So what they did do is hired additional people to observe the crops and basically stay there 24/7 in and around those growing areas," Lines told Blaze News. "It was expensive."
Last year, the county stationed roughly a dozen portable toilets near agricultural land along the border after farmers discovered human waste in their fields, which presented serious food safety concerns.
Some of the portable toilets were placed on the U.S. side of the border near Los Algodones, Mexico, he said.
"That's where we had everybody coming across. That's where we placed toilets. Six miles down the road, we still have an open border. And that is where the Trump wall ends and the reservation begins. That's where we placed the additional portalets to keep people out of those fields, and they have served their purpose," Lines told Blaze News.
He added that Border Patrol agents are in the area to pick up illegal aliens as they come across the southern border.
"It's kind of intriguing because they [the illegal immigrants] all know what to do. They all just walk across and get lined up. So they have not ventured out into any of the fields," Lines noted.
Regarding illegal aliens entering farmland and contaminating crops, Lines told Blaze News that the county has been able to "solve the majority of the issues around that." However, he noted that the open border wall on the nearby Native American reservation land is still an ongoing problem.
'Our youngest victim, a 10-year-old male.'
According to reports, the Federal Emergency Management Agency previously stated that it would reimburse Yuma County for the expense of placing and maintaining the portable toilets.
"The feds haven't reimbursed us for anything," Lines told Blaze News.
FEMA did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.
Since Biden took office, Lines estimated that Yuma County's crop damage loss was roughly $2.5-$3 million.
Lines told Blaze News, "The farmers have had to implement their own rules and regulations in order to preserve and protect that commodity. And they've done an amazing job stepping up and making sure their food safety procedures are robust and complete. Being out there almost on a daily basis, I am very much appreciative of their efforts to keep our food supply and our food chain safe and secure. We have not had any incidents arising out of the illegals coming across because of the steps that they've taken to make sure that none of that product reaches the supply chain. They simply destroy it."
He noted that Biden's border executive order, which the administration claimed would crack down on illegal crossings, coincided with the increase in summer temperatures. The White House has boasted that within the first three weeks of the executive action's implementation, southern border encounters dropped more than 40%.
"We always see a little bit of a downturn when summer starts," Lines remarked. "However, because of the rise of the crossing in the San Diego and Jacumba [Hot Springs] area, San Diego and Tucson actually transport people from those two areas to Yuma to be processed because of the massive processing center that Homeland Security set up in Yuma."
Lines detailed other issues impacting the Yuma County community as a result of the increase in unlawful crossings.
He noted that the county is only being reimbursed roughly 10 cents on the dollar for incarcerated illegal aliens who have committed state crimes.
"As a county supervisor, that's frustrating for me that we're still shouldering that burden," Lines stated.
Additionally, he outlined the effect the open-border crisis has had on the county's food bank and women and children's center.
Due to its seasonal agricultural industry, Yuma County has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Approximately 20%-25% of residents utilize the county's food bank.
"I was the chairman for the past three years of the food bank," Lines said. "The [nongovernmental organizations] that we distribute to, they saw an increased demand in need. And so we were taking product that was designed and designated for Yuma residents and distributing that to anybody that showed up to the NGOs looking for assistance."
"Our women's and children's center was impacted," he continued. "Our youngest victim, a 10-year-old male who had been raped somewhere on his journey to the United States. And we have jurisdictional issues. Of course, they attended to him, and they were able to collect the DNA, but you have a jurisdictional issue. What do you do with it? Where do you send it?"
Jim Chilton, a fifth-generation rancher, operates a 50,000-acre ranch in Arizona with five and a half miles of land along the southern border.
Chilton told Blaze News that former President Trump's border wall replaced five miles of what used to be a four-strand barbed-wire fence along his property. The last half-mile of the wall was halted when Biden took office and left incomplete.
"The traffic coming through is twofold, very distinct," Chilton explained, adding that his ranch has motion-activate cameras for every 10,000 acres of land.
"So the probability of catching an image of people coming through is very low. However, since Biden took office, I've gotten 3,500 images of people dressed totally in camouflage and wearing carpet shoes and similar backpacks coming through my ranch going north," he said.
'We had an agent shot five times on our ranch.'
Carpet shoes are typically sneakers with flooring material and fabric fixed to the bottom to cover the tread and reduce the appearance of footprints.
Chilton said some of the individuals crossing unlawfully into the U.S. and onto his ranch are those who know they do not qualify for asylum and, therefore, do not want to be processed by law enforcement officers at the border.
"Some of them — I'm told by the Border Patrol — are packing drugs. They estimate the others are people trying to get back into the United States after being deported. People who are criminals from around the world," Chilton told Blaze News. "These are really bad guys, and they're mostly all gotaways."
"The other type of people coming around the end of the wall are dressed in street clothes from all over the world. They come around the end of the wall, and they essentially say, 'Here we are, Border Patrol. Please take us to Tucson, process us, and release us into the United States,'" he continued. "They claim asylum, but they're mostly all economic-oriented asylum-seekers."
Chilton stated that he has not seen a Border Patrol agent on his ranch in months.
"Because of the policy of the president, they are exhausted processing people. I talked to one Border Patrol agent that told me he signed up to secure the border. Now all he is is a glorified taxi driver," he remarked.
Chilton told Blaze News that there have been numerous "serious incidents" on his ranch due to the increase in illegal crossings.
"We had an agent shot five times on our ranch, and he just barely survived. We have seen groups with what appears to be the leader with an AK-47 as they go through the country. One of the outrageous things is the cartel has scouts on our mountains, and they're really in control of everything. Their duty is to know where the Border Patrol is at all times and to give directions on how the drug cartel people come through the ranch. They have really expensive phones — satellite. Of course, encryption, and it has a radio function. In today's dollars they're probably around $3,000 phones," Chilton stated.
He noted that it seems as though the scouts are guiding the illegal immigrants through more remote areas of the ranch and avoiding the houses and barns.
"President Biden made a horrible mistake by stopping the construction of the border wall. We need a wall," Chilton told Blaze News. "We need the Border Patrol at the wall, and we need to apprehend anybody trying to climb over, or cut, or dig under the wall. We need to secure the border at the border. No one in this world has the right to come into our country except legally."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced the online application process for the state's new Landowner Compensation Program in May. The program aims to protect the state's agricultural community from the consequences of illegal immigration.
The initiative provides monetary compensation for damages to farm and ranch land caused by illegal aliens. Landowners can be reimbursed up to $75,000 for repair costs.
The Texas Farm Bureau backed Senate Bill 1133 to create the program, which appropriated $18 million in state money for the 2024 and 2025 fund.
Joiner, a TFB spokesperson, told Blaze News, "Landowners of agricultural property along the Texas-Mexico border facing land and property damage from border-related crimes now have a compensation program available to them — the Landowner Compensation Program."
"Landowners have 90 days after an incident to file a claim and provide a written police report that documents the damage caused by migrants, smugglers, or drug traffickers. Landowners are also encouraged to maintain all documentation of proof that property damage was sustained and the proof and cost of repairs, if made," Joiner continued.
He added, "Property damage caused by migrants illegally crossing the border through private property has been an ongoing problem for decades, but the traffic and damage has only increased in recent years. This program allows farmers and ranchers in border and rural counties to receive relief from the damages caused by trafficking, smuggling, and bailouts that occur on their personal property."
