Trump's Rancher Executive Orders: What the Fine Print Really Says

I said, whatever comes out of that, when it actually gets written, there will be a representative from JBS, Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef, the big four.

They're not interested in any deregulation.

They don't invite people like me to those sessions.

When you look at the actual verbiage of the executive order, I don't know, Sina, we didn't count as you went through it.

We didn't count how many times the executive order says the phrase to the extent of federal law.

But it's numerous times throughout.

I don't know how many times, half a dozen, whatever.

But I was trying to write them down, but didn't keep up with you.

But to the extent of federal law.

So what's federal law? Well, federal law is that if you want to sell a T-bone steak to a neighbor, it's got to be processed in a federal inspected processing facility.

And so my take on the executive order is, is that it is a lot of verbiage with actually no real teeth.

Again, it talks about we should be able to butcher, process, and sell across the state lines to the extent of federal law.

And, you know, reducing barriers to fair competition, you know, Within the extent of, to the extent of federal law.

And so all of this is bounded by current federal law.

Here's my point, Sina.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any change in any law here.
