Holy cow, we had some amazing news come in today from the president that what we talked about on Wednesday, and I'm like, look, I didn't prepare this, but I think you should do this. He announces today, he is writing up a legal framework right now. So farmers and ranchers can butcher their own cattle, they can, you know, produce their product, they don't have to go to one of these big processing plants, which breaks the back of these four big processing plants, which is the cause of most of our problems for our meat producers here in America. An amazing thing, and it all came from you in this audience. We also talk about flock cameras, the fight for the West, and why it was such good news that the Fed in Philadelphia came out with their manufacturing outlook. And according to the people who run factories say, it's better than ever. The highest since 1983, and the biggest one month jump in history. And I explain why that is so important to you and your life on today's podcast.

Because the more you know history, the more I learn about history, the more I realize we have been here before. And I want to talk to you about flock cameras, but we have been here before, believe it or not.
And I know I'm talking about cameras, so it's going to seem a little weird, but hear me out. 1761, old courthouse in Boston, a lawyer named James Otis. He stands up and he argues for five hours against a piece of paper. I mean, there wasn't a lot going on, you know. The paper was called A Writ of Assistance. It was a search warrant, and it was a strange one because it didn't name a suspect, it didn't name a house, it didn't describe a crime. It authorized a customs officer to enter any building, any house, any business, break open any chest, search any drawer, any closet, anything he wants for smuggled goods. And the search warrant did not expire. It's the writ of assistance. We later call them general warrants, okay? And it was good for the life of the king plus six months.
Otis loses the case, but sitting in the room taking notes was a young lawyer nobody had ever heard of yet named John Adams. A half-century later, he wrote that then and there in that room, the child of independence was born, and it was born on general warrants. That's what it became known as a general warrant. You can't just put a warrant out and say, you know, generally, we're going to just look at all cars. We're just going to look at all houses. You can't do that, okay? And they weren't arguing that searches were wrong. They were arguing about one specific feature. General, the general warrant, the generality of all of it. A warrant that names a man and a house is an accusation, and accusations can be answered. A warrant that names no one is not an accusation at all. It's a standing condition. It doesn't say you're suspected. It says, everyone here is available for suspicion.
