Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mark Blazer with Chuck Douglas. Large number of people think
it's okay to bring eggs into the US because well
they're cheaper than what we have, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
But I just I don't know, man, I'm picturing a
guy in a trench coat standing at the bordergo a cure.
What you think any omnis man, you need an omnick,
come over here and let me help you all. I
just can't. This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well, they've seen an increase and eggs attempted to be
brought across the southern border, and so joining US now
is ABC News Law enforcement reporter is Luke Barr and uh, Luke,
I saw this and I said, man, I am. I
am intrigued by this simply because well the obvious here
with regard to uh yeah, eggs being the new contra band,
(00:42):
this is kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Well, it certainly is crazy. And on both the northern
and Southern border, a CVP has reported a forty eight
percent increase in the number of eggs that have been
brought over the over the border from October to now,
and that's compared to last year stats. And you know,
they say that you can't bring eggs over the border
because they're prohibited. They've got diseases, and they've got all
(01:10):
kinds of you know, things that might not be healthy
on you know, in the US side versus on on
the Mexico side or even in the Canada side. So
that's why you can't bring bring eggs over. And you
also can't bring over raught chicken or even live birds guys.
So yeah, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, totally. Well, and it makes sense too, Luke that
you know, the FDA is not involved obviously in Mexico
or in Canada, and so as a result, Yeah, it's
a different process as far as what the things we
consume here in the United States go through, especially when
it's food like that, and you're talking about at the
lowest or the most raw level with regard to for instance,
(01:52):
you know, we're all chicken or or even the eggs
at that point too. But it does kind of make sense.
But I have a sneak and suspicion, and I mean
I think by and large, eggs are beginning to finally
go down as far as price goes, this will probably
drop out of sight. But am I surprised that this
was an attempt? I am not surprised at all. Not
at all.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well, And and that's the thing. It remains to be
seen whether you know the whether they go down, prices
come down, the cock comes up, but you know it
just will make those that you know, they don't see
a guy with eggs and they put him in handcuffs.
Usually what happens is, you know, they go, okay, it's
you know, you can't bring eggs into the country, just
leave them here in your free to go. That is
(02:35):
what happens like ninety five percent of the time with
these cases. You know, as far as the live bird,
I don't know what you do with that, but eggs,
you just drop them, drop them and leave them, right,
can it?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And I would say too that you know, you you
got to get into into the felony range as far
as I think there's a certain monetary value.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
There's seriously a felony level for eggs.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well, I don't know, but being with eggs being as
expensive as they are, it might only take a dozen
or two to get into that that level where you
could be in big truffle. It could be a felling.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You can't bring in things in here on scrambled it
for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That's so funny, man, easy well, I saw too, Luke,
that in San Diego one hundred and fifty eight percent
increase in eggs attempted to being brought across the border. Again,
color me a little bit shocked there. But people will
try to, I guess, exploit any way that they can
in order to make money in a situation like this.
(03:33):
Pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Well, that's it really is. And now you're not not
just seeing eggs being brought across the border, but you're
actually seeing eggs being attempted to be shipped in the
United States. So, for example, in Louisville just this week,
they see three different packages of eggs being you know,
shick through the United States. They seed the total of
(03:54):
thirty nine eggs. But that's also illegal. So if you
want to buy them from Turkey, like some some folks
try to do here in Louisville, can't do that either.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right right, It makes sense. Again, this was a kind
of an interesting story. Again, my sneaking suspicion is this
is going to begin to go down. It's going to
you know, as time moves forward here. But the contraband
at the border, eggs being the new contra band. Pretty interesting,
Luke bar ABC News Law Enforcement reporter, Luke, thanks for
joining us today. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Man, thanks guys, every great weekend YouTube.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Brother, Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So I'm looking at egg prices dot org right now,
the national data. Yeah, yeah, for the end of March
twenty twenty five. Now our high point. It looks like
the high point as far as egg prices in the
US went to about eight dollars Oh, good lord, in
a quarter a dozen for large white grade A eggs.
Had they or before that? Back in April of twenty
(04:49):
four they were at about three dollars, okay, and today
they're at about three dollars. So I say, we're okay.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh today, so they're already down that month.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Egg prices dot org. That's what they're telling us about
the large Grade A white eggs.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, it was interesting because Luke kind of when I said, well,
I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to deflate
as we move forward here, because well, I don't know
about egg prices going down, and I didn't want to
get into but I'm going, yeah, they are. They're actually
on the excuse me, they're on the decline.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Right looking around the US, the highest egg prices in
the United States. Guess where California there you go. I'm
sure there's always some effect there. Eleven o seven.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
So I mean, think about that for a second. When
it's three fifty or four dollars a gallon for gas here,
they're averaging six fifty seven bucks a gallon typically, So
that's right on par with the rest of you know,
the way that that works, it costs more to live
in California, just from top to bottom.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And this is from last week with the lowest prices.
We're in South Dakota, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, and Virginia.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Which is the around the three dollars mark.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
No, that was last week's prices. They were still up
at like six dollars, but in all those states.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But you're saying currently next week.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
From what this chart stage, we got to see them
down probably with the profit margin probably you know, between
three and four.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So and then this is going to continue, by the way,
to deflate. I think this price will to continue, and
it will be in more and more states. Now, clearly
that's not the United States average. I don't know if
you're able to see that, but I would think the
United States average is probably still in the five dollar range,
six dollar range if we're talking US, because unfortunately, you
(06:26):
have to average in the very high, which is the
eleven dollars out in almost a dollar in egg that
people are paying in California or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm trying to find a whole US I can't. I
can tell you the last week Ohio's average was seven
thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So last week, so they're not really coming down a
lot here in town or here in Ohio, I should say.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
However, I've seen some farmers step it up. In fact,
I had one joy me. She's where is she Ashland?
I think, join me on Facebook last week as a
Facebook print, and they've got a farm raised chickens and
eggs so forth. And she was selling her brown eggs
for two fifty a dozen good American as far as
I'm concerned, instead of squelching your appetite for eggs and
taking advantage of the situation, selling at a reasonable price.
(07:08):
And I thought, well, that's great if I could make
the trip down there. I don't have time, but I
don't either a dozen for farm fresh well.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And you're talking about down and back, it's going to
cost almost the difference.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yes, if I was going that direction for something you
make a point to.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, and I don't think you have to. That's
it's not going to be something we're going to have
to be dependent on. I predict by June, you know,
the next couple of months. That's certainly. And if you're
somebody I could see where restaurants are really suffering with this.
If you have a huge portion of your menu that
includes eggs on it, you're a Scramblers for instance, or
(07:46):
any of those places.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Think of all the bakries, I mean, every bait good
requires eggs. I mean your your donuts and cakes and
cookies and all that stuff are affected. I don't see
that the eggs.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do you see the elevated prices.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm very impressed that they're holding and holding back on it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
To your point, we keep bringing it up, But why
is it that with all of the egg prices suffering
and so on, we haven't seen any kind of an elevation.
And chicken, Yeah, I still don't understand that. No one's
been able to explain.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You say, there's two different kinds of chicken. They've got
to laying hands, and they got to eating hens, and
the eating hens they have to kill the laying hands
and gill. So but what can you go over to
the eating hens go hey, get me some eggs, because
you know, somebody needs to help out?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Or is it the flu only it dodges the eating
hens and only attacks the ones that are like, come.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
On, could be like that, Oh cray, I only got
you when you were standing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Up exactly, eggs exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
People messaging me they're like, hey, I get you some
duck eggs, some quail eggs, and yeah, I might no, no,
chicken eggs are fine. I might try what on a whim.
Sometimes go yeah, let's see what a duck egg tastes like.
But as a general rule, I need access to my
my chicken.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I hate ducky it's too greasy me either too early tasting.
It's yeah, it's gamy man to me, and somebody might go,
well it wasn't prepared well whatever. I don't know. My
only experience with has been gross. And by the way,
not all you know, some of the chicken taste really
really strong, because it's not just like across the board
(09:15):
that every chicken breast tastes great. Right, I've had plenty
where I'm like, oh, this is gross. It's really strong taste,
really gamey, and I don't necessarily like it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I think it depends on what they feed them and
whether they could be I would much rather see chickens
eating you know, the stuff off the ground, the natural stuff,
the bugs and some corn, than chicken feed or you know,
chemically enhanced crap to make them bigger and grow faster
and all that kind of stuff. I'd rather just have
them as God intended.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Hey, switching gears here, There is a two thirds of
Americans want their favorite childhood products to return, and of
course they talk about old school products. And when you
start talking about this kind of stuff, I'm like, there
are no two people that are more qualified to have
a conversation about something like that then me and Chuck,
(10:04):
who go back thirty seven years. I mean, we both
met when we started this crazy journey we call radio.
We went to broadcasting school together, and here we are
thirty seven years later or whatever it is, And so
I go, you know, this is one of those ones
that I know you're gonna have some thoughts on an
I do. But some of the stuff they list here,
(10:27):
I'm like, no, some of that just because they are
a childhood product. I'm like, no, some of those need
to stay gone as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Like principals paddles at school.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well there's that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, keep thinking out.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I go with you on that. But some of the
stuff they list here, I'm like, yes, but then some
of them like no. For instance, banana nest quick is
on this list, and I go, no, that can stay gone.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Didn't work the first time, don't give it a second time.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And that's the last thing I want is banana es quick.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Look, I like bananas and I like ness quick, but
I don't like banana nesq quies.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, the concept of a glass of banana milk just
as an appealing right right.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
One other one on here that I went no, it
can stay gone is a BlackBerry phone. Now I don't
know where you come down on that, but I'm like,
I don't need all the extra keys on there. One
for pie, one for you know, whatever it is. BlackBerry
had its place in history, But as far as it's
on this list of some of the things people in
(11:26):
America say that they would love to return, I'm like, why,
why would the smartphones are so much more efficient? How
is it that you go I long for the day
when I had to push the three key to get A,
and then push it a second time to get B,
and then the third time and it might not be
the three key. You know what I'm saying, Where you
(11:47):
had to do that in order to text something out.
My printer still makes me do that when I'm putting
in the pass code for for my what do you
call Wi Fi at home? Really I have to log
and when you log in there, it still makes me
do that, Like where A, B and C are all
on either one or two, and then I have to
like if I need B, I have to push it
(12:08):
twice and I got to like really watch the display
to make sure it didn't put A accidentally.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Old is your printer?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's pretty old. It's pretty old, but man, it's really
still really good and so as I know you're going, Man,
a really good printer only costs ninety nine bucks. Now
you have one for home use you don't need where
you're not going. I need one thousand pages an hour,
which I don't at home, you know or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Everything should be easier to use when it comes to
stuff like that. I was griping the other night because
I had to put my password in for was it
Netflix or Prime. I can't, but you have to go
through the little square over and down and click and
up and down. Just stop that right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Some of the other things on this list I would
agree with, maybe Atari, Sega and Nintendo Consoles. I'm like, okay,
the Atari, especially for me as a soft I have
a soft spot for that. I had the twenty six
hundred growing up. Crystal Pepsi is on this list.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Again, didn't work, tasted like pepsi, looked like seven up.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I thought that's an interesting concept. But I'm not against it.
I'm not again, as they say, but is it something
that I'm longing for to return? Necessarily iPods? No, I
don't want that. I have that on my phone and
it does all the other.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Stuff on your phone. Does it all? Jolt soda Okay,
now we can talk, so Jolt twice the caffeine and
more sugar than you've ever wanted. A Minnesota I used
to drink that stuff, like, oh my gosh, that's why
I didn't sleep for one hundred and two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, I'm with that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Between Joke Cola and Vibrant, I was a man wired.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Serge soda is on here.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Mountain Dew ripoff. You know, Mellow Yellow made it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Serge did not bubble gum jeans that's on this list
and I don't even know what it is me either,
do you, Zach? Do you have Do you own any
bubblegum jeans?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
At when I was in high school? But I don't
wear them anymore?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Are you being serious? No?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No idea? What that?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay? Good? Because I was like, does he really know
what bubble gum?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I've never even heard the concept.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And not to be mistaken for apple bottom jeans.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I've never heard of that either.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It's in the song Shorty had them apple bottom jeans,
the boots with the fur. The whole club was looking
at her. She hit the floor. She hit the floor.
Next thing you know, Shorty got low bubblegum jeans.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You have to pay Kroger a royalty? Don't they use
that for their commercials?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They do, But that was a song before Kroger used it.
I guarantee they.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I told you last week, what does this is for
all the lonely people having toy shopping?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I guess they felt that most people that shop at
Kroger are lonely people that come in there. That's all
I can think again. Those are some of the things
that they're saying two thirds of Americans want.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Bubble yum now laters, I mean, I could come up
with a whole list of stuff that should come back
to make America great again and tasty.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Let's do it, Let's do it.
Mark Blazer with Chuck Douglas. Large number of people think
it's okay to bring eggs into the US because well
they're cheaper than what we have, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
But I just I don't know, man, I'm picturing a
guy in a trench coat standing at the bordergo a cure.
What you think any omnis man, you need an omnick,
come over here and let me help you all. I
just can't. This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well, they've seen an increase and eggs attempted to be

Luke bar ABC News Law Enforcement reporter, Luke, thanks for
joining us today. Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Man, thanks guys, every great weekend YouTube.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Brother, Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Egg prices dot org. That's what they're telling us about

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, it was interesting because Luke kind of when I said, well,
I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to deflate

make a point to.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, and I don't think you have to. That's
it's not going to be something we're going to have
to be dependent on. I predict by June, you know,
the next couple of months. That's certainly. And if you're
somebody I could see where restaurants are really suffering with this.
If you have a huge portion of your menu that
includes eggs on it, you're a Scramblers for instance, or
(07:46):
any of those places.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Think of all the bakries, I mean, every bait good
requires eggs. I mean your your donuts and cakes and
cookies and all that stuff are affected. I don't see
that the eggs.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do you see the elevated prices.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm very impressed that they're holding and holding back on it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
To your point, we keep bringing it up, But why
is it that with all of the egg prices suffering
and so on, we haven't seen any kind of an elevation.
And chicken, Yeah, I still don't understand that. No one's
been able to explain.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You say, there's two different kinds of chicken. They've got
to laying hands, and they got to eating hens, and
the eating hens they have to kill the laying hands
and gill. So but what can you go over to
the eating hens go hey, get me some eggs, because
you know, somebody needs to help out?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Or is it the flu only it dodges the eating
hens and only attacks the ones that are like, come.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
On, could be like that, Oh cray, I only got
you when you were standing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Up exactly, eggs exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
People messaging me they're like, hey, I get you some
duck eggs, some quail eggs, and yeah, I might no, no,
chicken eggs are fine. I might try what on a whim.
Sometimes go yeah, let's see what a duck egg tastes like.
But as a general rule, I need access to my
my chicken.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I hate ducky it's too greasy me either too early tasting.
It's yeah, it's gamy man to me, and somebody might go,
well it wasn't prepared well whatever. I don't know. My
only experience with has been gross. And by the way,
not all you know, some of the chicken taste really
really strong, because it's not just like across the board
(09:15):
that every chicken breast tastes great. Right, I've had plenty
where I'm like, oh, this is gross. It's really strong taste,
really gamey, and I don't necessarily like it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I think it depends on what they feed them and
whether they could be I would much rather see chickens
eating you know, the stuff off the ground, the natural stuff,
the bugs and some corn, than chicken feed or you know,
chemically enhanced crap to make them bigger and grow faster
and all that kind of stuff. I'd rather just have
them as God intended.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Hey, switching gears here, There is a two thirds of
Americans want their favorite childhood products to return, and of
course they talk about old school products. And when you
start talking about this kind of stuff, I'm like, there
are no two people that are more qualified to have
a conversation about something like that then me and Chuck,
(10:04):
who go back thirty seven years. I mean, we both
met when we started this crazy journey we call radio.
We went to broadcasting school together, and here we are
thirty seven years later or whatever it is, And so
I go, you know, this is one of those ones
that I know you're gonna have some thoughts on an
I do. But some of the stuff they list here,
(10:27):
I'm like, no, some of that just because they are
a childhood product. I'm like, no, some of those need
to stay gone as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Like principals paddles at school.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well there's that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, keep thinking out.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I go with you on that. But some of the
stuff they list here, I'm like, yes, but then some
of them like no. For instance, banana nest quick is
on this list, and I go, no, that can stay gone.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Didn't work the first time, don't give it a second time.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And that's the last thing I want is banana es quick.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Look, I like bananas and I like ness quick, but
I don't like banana nesq quies.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, the concept of a glass of banana milk just
as an appealing right right.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
One other one on here that I went no, it
can stay gone is a BlackBerry phone. Now I don't
know where you come down on that, but I'm like,
I don't need all the extra keys on there. One
for pie, one for you know, whatever it is. BlackBerry
had its place in history, But as far as it's
on this list of some of the things people in
(11:26):
America say that they would love to return, I'm like, why,
why would the smartphones are so much more efficient? How
is it that you go I long for the day
when I had to push the three key to get A,
and then push it a second time to get B,
and then the third time and it might not be
the three key. You know what I'm saying, Where you
(11:47):
had to do that in order to text something out.
My printer still makes me do that when I'm putting
in the pass code for for my what do you
call Wi Fi at home? Really I have to log
and when you log in there, it still makes me
do that, Like where A, B and C are all
on either one or two, and then I have to
like if I need B, I have to push it
(12:08):
twice and I got to like really watch the display
to make sure it didn't put A accidentally.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Old is your printer?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's pretty old. It's pretty old, but man, it's really
still really good and so as I know you're going, Man,
a really good printer only costs ninety nine bucks. Now
you have one for home use you don't need where
you're not going. I need one thousand pages an hour,
which I don't at home, you know or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Everything should be easier to use when it comes to
stuff like that. I was griping the other night because
I had to put my password in for was it
Netflix or Prime. I can't, but you have to go
through the little square over and down and click and
up and down. Just stop that right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Some of the other things on this list I would
agree with, maybe Atari, Sega and Nintendo Consoles. I'm like, okay,
the Atari, especially for me as a soft I have
a soft spot for that. I had the twenty six
hundred growing up. Crystal Pepsi is on this list.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Again, didn't work, tasted like pepsi, looked like seven up.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I thought that's an interesting concept. But I'm not against it.
I'm not again, as they say, but is it something
that I'm longing for to return? Necessarily iPods? No, I
don't want that. I have that on my phone and
it does all the other.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Stuff on your phone. Does it all? Jolt soda Okay,
now we can talk, so Jolt twice the caffeine and
more sugar than you've ever wanted. A Minnesota I used
to drink that stuff, like, oh my gosh, that's why
I didn't sleep for one hundred and two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, I'm with that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Between Joke Cola and Vibrant, I was a man wired.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Serge soda is on here.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Mountain Dew ripoff. You know, Mellow Yellow made it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Serge did not bubble gum jeans that's on this list
and I don't even know what it is me either,
do you, Zach? Do you have Do you own any
bubblegum jeans?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
At when I was in high school? But I don't
wear them anymore?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Are you being serious? No?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No idea? What that?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay? Good? Because I was like, does he really know
what bubble gum?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I've never even heard the concept.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And not to be mistaken for apple bottom jeans.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I've never heard of that either.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It's in the song Shorty had them apple bottom jeans,
the boots with the fur. The whole club was looking
at her. She hit the floor. She hit the floor.
Next thing you know, Shorty got low bubblegum jeans.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You have to pay Kroger a royalty? Don't they use
that for their commercials?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They do, But that was a song before Kroger used it.
I guarantee they.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I told you last week, what does this is for
all the lonely people having toy shopping?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I guess they felt that most people that shop at
Kroger are lonely people that come in there. That's all
I can think again. Those are some of the things
that they're saying two thirds of Americans want.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Bubble yum now laters, I mean, I could come up
with a whole list of stuff that should come back
to make America great again and tasty.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Let's do it, Let's do it.
