  Speaker 3: everybody knows. Different time for my show on Real America's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Voice TV.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I wanted to open the show today.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: With what I think is the number one story in America,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: which is the fact that everything I feel is pretty good.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It's like a Christmas.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Greeting, you know? I'm giving you a good, positive message
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: for Christmas to start my show, because of course next
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: week is Christmas.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's already Christmas. We're here.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: We're here. I'm so excited.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I love Christmas.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And we're almost at it. The glass is half full.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's not half empty. I need you to be patient
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and stop listening to the agents of negativity. Okay, Tucker Carlson,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: a negative, I'd like to say the word on national TV,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: but I won't say it. Candace Owens, a negative, I'd
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: like to say the word on national TV, but I
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: won't say it. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a negative witch. These
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: people are trying to destroy our movement and our party
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: when we have a great president breaking his back to
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: do the right thing.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I agree with him 95%.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Of the time. 5% I disagree.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Who cares? I'm with him 95%.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan once said, if you agree 70% of the time,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: you're my friend, not my enemy. So let me give
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you the list of what's going on. Stock market all-time highs.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I'm going to take a look right now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what the market did today. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: just know it's been at all-time highs for a couple
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: weeks now. Let me look right now and see if
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: we had a good day today. Hopefully.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Hopefully. Yeah, yeah, we did.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Up almost 200 points today. So stock market at all-time highs.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: S & P at all-time highs. NASDAQ at all-time highs.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Gold at all-time highs. Silver at all-time highs. I don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: know what people want. Gas way down. All over this country,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: gas way down. below $ 3 a gallon. Wages way up.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Wages have gone up compared to Biden. Job growth looks mediocre.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: It's not mediocre because Trump has pulled off a miracle.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Remember that famous fairy tale or cartoon with the three bears?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: It's like this bear is this, this bear is that,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: and this bear is just perfect. This bear is perfect. Well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: this jobs market is perfect because the reason it looks
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: mediocre is is that real jobs, private sector jobs that matter,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that pay taxes into the system, are actually doing good.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Not great, but good. They're positive.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: There's growth higher than experts predicted several months in a row.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: They're growing.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And illegal alien jobs are disappearing.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And government jobs that don't pay into the system, government
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: jobs steal money from the system, pensions, Cadillac Healthcare, They
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: pay way above what the average person makes in the
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: same job in the private sector. Government jobs are a
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: drain on the system. They're being killed. Trump's killing government jobs.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Trump's killing illegal alien jobs. And yet private sector jobs
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: are growing. It's perfection. It's absolutely perfection.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And then next year, 2026, everybody gets.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: A massive bonus.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Either they get a tax cut because Trump's big, beautiful
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: bill gave a lot of people tax cuts. No tax
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: in overtime. No tax on Social Security. Their version, a
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: new $ 6, 000 deduction for Social Security. Hopefully, everybody gets a $ 2, 000
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: tariff bonus if the Supreme Court allows it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: That would be great, too.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And then because Trump extended tax cuts, everybody gets a
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: tax refund in their withholding.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Whatever they withheld, they're going to get back like $ 1, 000, $ 2, 000.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I predict a Reagan-like economic boom next year. Prosperity and
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: jobs and rising wages for all and inflation dropping. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: don't forget, Trump's going to give every new baby born $ 1, 000
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: savings account. I think that comes around July 4th. He's
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: going to give a warrior bonus to the military, almost $ 2, 000.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: And then we haven't even gotten to the fact that
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: there's $ 18 trillion invested by foreign countries in our economy.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It's going to start to hit. Jobs will explode. Assets
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: will explode. Stocks will explode.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And there's going to be a new Fed chair in
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: early spring and maybe much sooner because the old Fed chair.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Powell, Jerome Powell is the biggest jerk that ever lived.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: He is a jerk.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Space, he's off, if you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean. He will be gone maybe even sooner.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: He may choose to resign once he knows he's lame duck.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And with the new Fed chair chosen by Trump, interest
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: rates will start to drop dramatically. And if the rumor
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: is true, and this is the rumor I hear, If
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Trump gives like a property tax national holiday, meaning a
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: 12 to 18 month window to sell your home and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: pay either no capital gains tax or a dramatically reduced
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: amount of capital gains tax, maybe you get two thirds
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: off and you only pay one third.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Of your capital gains tax.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: If you sell in that window, 12 to 18 months,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: we will have a real estate explosion, a boom like
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: never before in history with interest rates down and everybody
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: motivated to sell so they pay no capital gains on
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: their home. They've got to sell the next 12 months.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: then everybody's going to try and sell in the next
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: 12 to 18 months. And if all of this happens,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: as I predict and expect, we will win the midterms.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: All people care about is their pocketbook. Everything else is meaningless.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Trump's doing a great job at all the other stuff,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: but right now they're upset.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They think inflation's still bad.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: They think things need to get better.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: We will win the midterms because their pocketbooks will be healthy.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: God bless Trump. God bless capitalism. God bless American exceptionalism.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So, you know, it's... In.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: My opinion, we're headed for a great, great, great situation.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: And just to hit on it, I want to see.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I had some article I just found that kind of
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: backed me up on that, but I've got to find it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, here it is.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Here it is. So there's new polling out, and it
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: signals serious trouble for Democrats in the upcoming midterms, right?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: They think it's locked up. And it's certainly not locked up.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: They're not winning this thing automatically, especially if we can
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: get any sort of voter integrity bills passed at the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: United States Congress.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: But that's a big question.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: But voters are delivering Democrats in Congress a brutal verdict
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: heading into the 2026 midterm cycle with just 18 percent
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: approval of their performance and a staggering 73 percent disapproving
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the worst rating Quinnipiac has recorded since it began asking
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: these questions in history. Literally, since the day Quinnipiac asked
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the question, do you approve or disapprove of Congress or
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Republican Congress or Democrat Congress? This is the lowest rating
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: in history. Even Democrats themselves in open revolt, 42% of
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Democrat voters approve of their own party's members in Congress, 42%.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: 48% disapprove.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And it was 58%.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Who approved back in October. So that means that the
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: government shutdown killed the Democrat Party. Among independents, things descend
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: from terrible to apocalyptic for the Democrats. The gap between
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: approval and disapproval is a huge 61 points, leaving Democrats
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: literally universally despised among independent demographic. But the more shocking
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: revelation came from within their own ranks. For the first
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: time in Quinnipiac's history, even Democrats give Democrats a thumbs down.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Support among party voters has cratered 28%. points since October,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: swinging from positive 22 to negative 6 in just two months.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: So as... What's the guy at CNN?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: His name is Eaton. I can never remember his first name,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: but I think it's Harry. Harry Eaton at CNN is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: their data numbers cruncher. He says.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Democrats in the minds of the American public are lower
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: than the Dead Sea. And CNN is the Democrat network, right?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Communist News Network.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: So I think that this idea that Democrats are about
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: to win the midterm because always the party out of
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: power wins the midterm and because Trump is so unpopular,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I think that whole idea is going down the drain.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It looks to me like we are the ones who
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: have a great chance to win the midterm. So So
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: good news there, good news there. News about the idiocy
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and insanity of people in America today. The Rhode Island
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Attorney General says that the Brown University shooter might have
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: been making barking noises before opening fire. You know, in
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: a country where liberals encourage children to think they're cats
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: or boys to think they're girls, girls to think they're boys,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Anyone to think they're furry animals. This guy was barking
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: before he opened fire and killed innocent young people. And
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it just goes to show you how insane liberals have
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: made our society. Just insanity. Barking. He was barking like
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a dog and then he killed nice people for no reason.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I'm Wade Allyn Root.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Liberal insanity reigns.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: All right, Wayne Allen Root here with Allen Pariser, an
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: advocate for greatpatriotstore.com. What a great company, great American company,
• 12:01

• 12:05
  Speaker 3: by USA Today as one of America's best stores in 2025.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I know we've got a slide up there, Allen, that
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: we could show everyone not only the product's exceptional, but
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the prices are exceptional.

  Speaker 5: from us at better pricing, more reliable service sent directly

  Speaker 5: to your front doorstep.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Now, President Trump obviously doing a great job, but he's
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: being impacted by some things that were from the Biden administration,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: like inflation. There's still rising prices. There's still companies like
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Procter & Gamble and Amazon talking about increasing prices. Membership
• 12:53

  Speaker 3: a member.

  Speaker 2: And beat inflation.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I knew I was looking for another story. Wayne Allyn Root,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: War Zone. I was looking for another story to back
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: up my contention that next year is going to be
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: a great year. And it wasn't just, you know, all
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the money that's coming in from the tax cuts and
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: all the tax refunds and the warrior bonuses and the
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: new Fed chief and the $ 18 trillion to trickle down.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: But also, Trump strikes deals with nine more drug companies
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: to drastically lower drug prices for Americans. You wanted affordability. Man,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: he's giving you affordability. Would you call it affordability that
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: everyone could sell their homes? That's the rumor I hear.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: He's going to announce early next year that everyone's going
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: to have like a one-year window to sell your house
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: and pay no.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Capital gains taxes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: If that's the case, this is going to create the
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: greatest real estate boom and explosion in history.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: And then you wanted affordability.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: How about Trump announced agreements with Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genetec,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Gilead Sciences, Merck, Novartis, Sanofi. The deals follow those already
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: reached with Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, EMD, Serrano.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: This represents the greatest victory for patient affordability in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: history of American healthcare by far.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And every single American will benefit. Biggest thing to ever
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: happen on drug pricing and on healthcare.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: And the question becomes, if liberals are gonna go, oh,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: no big deal. We're not impressed, no big deal.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Staple this. So I got it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: No big deal.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Really? So why didn't you do it? Why didn't Joe
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Biden do it? Why didn't Obama do it? Obama had
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: eight years to lower drug prices. He passed Obamacare, which
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: exploded every price for everything. Drugs, surgery, doctor visits, you
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: name it, health care. How about any hospital visit? How
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: about any health insurance? Tripled, quadrupled. Why didn't he cut prices?
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: None of them cut prices. They cut deals with insurance
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: companies to make them rich and make you poor. So
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: great job. Great job by President Trump. Fantastic. That should
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: add up to a really fantastic 2026.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Also, really good news.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan found guilty of obstruction for helping
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: a legal alien evade ICE agents. faces five years in prison.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, a jury found a Wisconsin judge
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: accused of helping a Mexican immigrant dodge federal authorities guilty
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: of obstruction on Thursday. She became angry, this judge, when
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: her courtroom to arrest Eduardo Flores Ruiz. And a legal
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: She allegedly directed Flores Ruiz. Now you don't have to
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: say allegedly, do you? She got found guilty. She directed
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Flores Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: door to evade arrest. She intentionally misdirected federal agents away
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: then she learned of ICE's presence and angrily, she went outside,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: angrily confronted The ICE agents. And then later on, Flores
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Ruiz and his lawyer are seen sneaking out the jury
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: door so he could evade arrest. She found guilty of
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: a felony and faces up to five years in prison.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: The question is, look, I feel great. I think that's
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: wonderful news. We need to do it to all these judges,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: every one of them that's aiding and abetting illegals. We
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: need to do it to all of them. But you
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: know what? I don't know if she's going to get
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: a day in prison because judges don't want to put
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: judges in prison, right? They're a little bit prejudiced. They're like,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: if I put that judge in prison, someday it could
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: be me in prison. So I'll give her time served.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I'll give her probation. And that may be what we see.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I hope she winds up doing a hard time in prison.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: She certainly deserves it. She certainly deserves it. Another story
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: that just came in, brand new.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: U.S. launches massive strike program.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: On ISIS in Syria after American troops were killed in
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: an ambush. So we are now bombing ISIS in Syria.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you, President Trump.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Great job. Kill the bad guys.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Kill the Islamic extremists. Kill anyone that touches our soldiers.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: And don't forget to bomb the drug traffickers coming from Venezuela.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Great job.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: As we say goodbye for this segment, when we come
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: back with a great guest, I mean a great guest,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I want to mention the sponsor of this show, Energized Health.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: They've got an incredible program.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I started it five years ago, November of 2020. Changed
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: my life, changed my career. I lost 25 pounds of
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: fat and gained 10 pounds of muscle in only 88
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: days to start the program. That's the only time you
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: have to work hard is the first 88 days and
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: after that you just skate. Because now it's been five
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: years and I kept the weight off and I kept
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the muscle on and there's no work involved, nothing. It's unbelievable.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I gained energy. I gained health. I gained intercellular hydration.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Got in the best shape of my life. Gained four
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: new TV shows and podcasts past the age of 61.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Never happened in history. Look better now. At age 64,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: about to be 65. Then I looked at age 50.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Put that picture on the screen. Me at age.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: 50 and me in the gym at age almost 65.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: 15 years later, I've reversed age. So just go to my555challenge. com

• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the week, by the way, before I get to my
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: wonderful guest. The National Transportation Board says the pilot in
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the fatal North Carolina plane crash that killed NASCAR's Greg Biffle,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: not yet identified. But three people aboard the Cessna were
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: licensed pilots. Three. Three licensed pilots and the plane crashed.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Does that make sense to anyone? You can't say that
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: one guy had a heart attack and the plane went down.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: No one knew how to fly it. There were three
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: licensed pilots on a Cessna. Why would it go down
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and everybody aboard is killed and a NASCAR star's entire
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: family wiped out? Strange story. Strange story. Let me mention
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: the sponsor of this segment of the show, Great Patriot Store.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: If you're sick and tired of supporting wool companies, I
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: have great news for you. You don't have to anymore.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: This is the answer to inflation. Hundreds of households and
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: personal products that you're already buying at your local supermarket
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: or at Amazon or Costco or Walmart. Now you can
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: buy online at great.com. patriotstore.com, but their products are much
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: less expensive, higher quality, made with no toxic chemicals, all
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: made in the USA, delivered right to your door at
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: incredible prices. Stop talking about affordability. This is how you
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: beat inflation. This is affordability. Great Patriot Store is not
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: a secret anymore. It must be good. Two million members,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: over two million members, and over 20,000 American families joining
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: every month.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: You should too.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: And for me, the key is that they've expanded their
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: beef division. They've got their own amazing, I think it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a 200,000 to 300,000 acre ranch. and they have their
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: own beef, and they raise their cows in a certain way,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: their cattle in a certain way, so that it's all pasture-raised,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: no hormones, no antibiotics, no mRNA, inexpensive, much less, as
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: an example, in Omaha Steaks, much less expensive. But like
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Costco or Sam's Club, you need to become a member.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: And did I say, by the way, that I love
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: their steaks? They taste better than any steak at any
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: restaurant I go to.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: So don't wait.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Go to greatpatriotstore.com, greatpatriotstore.com.

  Speaker 3: them in a matter of minutes. You remember, it's very inexpensive.

• 24:19
  Speaker 2: All right, now our guest.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Is in the house, Mark Skousen, producer of the one
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: and only Freedom Fest every summer, July 2026 in Las Vegas.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Freedom Fest is the world's greatest libertarian event and freedom-loving event.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: People fly in, usually about 3,000 people from all over
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: the United States and all over the world. Mark is
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the author of The Greatest American, Benjamin Franklin, History's Most
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Versatile Genius. And we've got him here today to talk
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: about his new book, because I love history. I love
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: American history. There it is.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: There's the book.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: There's Mark.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Mark, you are descended from Benjamin Franklin, right?
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: He's a relative.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there was always a family tradition on my mother's
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: side that we were somehow related to Ben Franklin. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: lo and behold, after my wife and I did the
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: genealogy in Philadelphia, I'm the sixth generation grandson of Benjamin Franklin. However,
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: I've only inherited one trait. We're both left-handed. Ha ha ha!
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Well, that makes three of us because I'm left-handed too,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: but my parents switched me after birth. When they saw
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: that I was left-handed, they made me over the next
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: few years do it right-handed, which they say screws up
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: people's mind, which explains everything about me.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: So Wayne Root is a transgender. I'm Sean.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I'm a trans lefty righty. Tell us about your new book,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: The Greatest American, Benjamin Franklin, History's most versatile genius. What
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: makes him the most versatile genius? I think I know.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Teacher, teacher, let me raise my hand.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: From what I remember from history about Benjamin Franklin is
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: he was, you know, they say a master of none,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: but a guy who's good at everything. He was a
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: master of everything. He was amazing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: He was just great at everything. Am I on the
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: right trail?
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, in my book, I came up with
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: 22 careers that he, you know, he was a printer
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: and a publisher and And he was a legislator and
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: he was an inventor and a scientist and a diplomat.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: He had all of these traits. And I came up
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: with 22 careers. But what's different from my book is
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: there's lots of biographies of Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: and H.L. Brands and many others. But what my book
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: is different is that it is 80 chapters on how
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: to apply Franklin to today's hot topics of investing today.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: of business, of diplomacy. You know, just the other day,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: since you're a big fan of Donald Trump, he actually
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: had the famous Houdon bust of Ben Franklin in the
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Oval Office. And I think he was channeling Ben Franklin's
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: diplomatic skills, the world's greatest diplomat, according to Ken Burns. And,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: you know, Trump needs that kind of diplomacy to deal
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: with guys like Putin. The trade war and trying to
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: get fair trade. There's lots of things that you could
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: learn from Ben Franklin. But he did do one thing
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: that I really emphasize in my book, The Greatest American,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: and that was he made the decision to never criticize
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: his enemies in public. So that's something that Trump could
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: learn from.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Trump's definitely the opposite of that one.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: That's for sure. You know, I think, you know, I
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: visited the Oval Office. I had my first Oval Office
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: visit ever back about two months ago. And I saw
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the bust of Abraham Lincoln and I saw the bust
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: of Winston Churchill. And I must have missed Abraham Lincoln.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: You say that's in the Oval Office as well.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: The bust of Benjamin Franklin. And I think he just
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: brought it in specifically as kind of a way to
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: channel Franklin's unique ability of diplomacy. You know, he was.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Personally responsible. I have a whole chapter on his diplomacy
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: and his ability to raise all the money from the
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: French and the ammunition sending generals over there. And without
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: the French help, the war would have lasted another 10 years.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: So Franklin, I mean, President Trump, I think, was subconsciously
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: channeling Ben Franklin's ability to be a great diplomat.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I love what you do with your book. I'm
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: going to do a quick shameless plug. You know, I
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: wrote the book Trump Rules, and I thought what made
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: it special was lots of people have written books about Donald.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Trump and what makes him tick.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: But for every single one of the rules in my book,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I've got 10 major rules and then I've got like
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: 20 minor rules that Trump that make Trump successful. I
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: show you how to apply them in the real world.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: How do you how to become your own little mini
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump? And I show how it worked for me
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: in my own world. I became a self-made millionaire at
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: the age of 27. And I was channeling Trump from
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the day I turned 18 years old as a freshman
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: at Columbia University. I decided he would be my mentor.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: And I would watch everything he did and try and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: model Donald Trump by the time I was 27. Self-made
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: millionaire with a house on the beach in Malibu. So
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: I think you did the same thing I did, channeling
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Ben Franklin and showing anybody else how.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: To do it as well.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great idea, Mark, and that makes
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: me want to buy your book because I want to
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: see how I can apply Benjamin Franklin's brilliant genius to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: all the things that I do in my life.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Life.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: So brilliant, brilliant idea. Talk about taxes and inflation. How
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: did he think about tax inflation and how would he
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: tackle them today?
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Well, one of the things that Franklin said was an
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: industrious and virtuous people may be cheaply governed. He was
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: a firm believer in laissez-faire, limited government, low taxes. He
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: was one who believed, he said, the system of America
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: is commerce with all and war with none. He believed
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: that government could operate on a fairly small budget. He
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: would be certainly appalled. Franklin was an optimist. He was
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: very optimistic about the greatness of America. And he would
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: be so impressed with the advances in technology. He'd be
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: the first one on a cell phone and texting.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: But he'd be appalled by the spending of debt, right?
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: He would love this new technology.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: He'd be appalled by the spending of the debt.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: He would be appalled by the size and scope of
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: government today and high levels of taxation. For sure, he'd
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: like to see that being reduced.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: As smart as Benjamin was, I don't even know if
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: he could tackle that. You know, people say to me
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: they can think of many great things Trump's done. A
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: lot of people love him, but they still think he's
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: done nothing as far as spending and debt.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: And I keep saying to them, you don't understand.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: There's nothing anyone seems to be able to do because
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the minute you try and cut a dollar from one program,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: there's 100000 people in the media complaining that they're going
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: to die forever. Babies will die. Children will die. Adults
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: will starve to death. You're the meanest person in the world. Well,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: if you can't cut a dollar off any one program,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: how do you ever cut collectively trillions of dollars? Every
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: congressman fights for every dollar in their district, and they
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: only get reelected if they spend money, not if they
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: save money. So the system is set up that there's
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: really nothing Trump or any president could ever do to
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: cut runaway spending and debt, it seems to me. Thoughts?
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, the thing is, uh, uh, you know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: you have to remember that, that, uh, one of the
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: best chapters I have in my book, the greatest American
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: is the chapter on economy. And, uh, Franklin said there's
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: much revenue in economy and no revenue is sufficient without it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: So that's something that needs to be learned. And, and,
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: and also, uh, you know, you have a Franklin saying that, uh,
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: We can never be independent as a nation. And Trump
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: is always trying to be independent in so many ways
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: and making America independent of foreigners and all that sort
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: of thing. We can never be independent if we don't
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: discharge our public debt. And I don't think he means
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: eliminating it because the treasury, the security market provides tremendous
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: liquidity around the world. But when you get excessive government
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: spending and growth, then there's just there's nothing left for
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: the private sector. We need to have a proper balance.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: And that's what Franklin's about. And I will mention one
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: other thing about my book, The Greatest American, why it's unique.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Franklin changed his mind frequently. He was a British loyalist
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: and then at age 70 became a rebel and a
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: believer in democratic economics. in democracy, in democratic republic. He
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: switched from being a pro-slavery man to be an abolitionist.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: He was pro-inflation and then became anti-inflation.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: And finally, Wayne, the other thing, he changed.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, hold on, hold on. Hold that thought. We're
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: going to a quick break. I want you to come
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: back and talk about Freedom Fest anyway.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: So hold that thought.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with Mark Skousen,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: author of The Greatest American, Benjamin Franklin.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: All right, a special treat for you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I want to introduce you to a real hero of
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: the American energy industry, a legend, Mark Bruner, founder and
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas in the United States.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Lost Soldier is the last major BCGA, Basin Centered Oil.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: gas accumulation. This is code for a monster field where
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: gas or oil is in a basin, which makes the
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: drilling and production much easier. Mark, you're a legend in
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: the oil industry and the gas industry. Tell us about
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: your track record.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm a second-generation oil and gas guy. My father,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: in the early 1950s, started a company called Techstar. It
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: later became Texas.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Oil and Gas.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: When it sold out to U.S. Steel, it was the
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: largest independent in the world. Delhi Pipelines was the largest
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: gas distribution system in.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: The United States.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: When it sold out to U.S. Steel, I worked with
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: him for four years. I've been in the oil and
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: gas business ever since. You would probably know me better
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: as the chairman of Ultra Petroleum. And I Ultra had
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: a pretty good track record, which you're very familiar with,
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I think a $ 10, 000 investor in Ultra turned it
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: into $ 13 million. Is that correct, in the nine-year run
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: of your publicly traded company?
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, at the high, that's true.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: $ 10, 000 turned it to $ 13 million. That means $ 100, 000 turned
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: it to $ 130 million. That's an incredible track record. Now
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: tell me why this deal, Lost Soldier, this project is
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: so important. I hear about projects and deals all the time.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: What makes this one special, Mark?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: What's special about this is all the other basins in
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: the United States have been drilled. We've known for 50
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: years what they are. This one could not be drilled
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: because there was a uranium mine out here. Until it
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: was reclamated three years ago, no one could drill it.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: This is surrounded by large oil and gas fields with
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: billions of dollars of infrastructure that at this.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Point is 85% empty.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: So we made this discovery. We are the only operator
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: in this field. And right now we can see that
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: we've got enough room for 500 horizontal wells out here
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: with what we've drilled so far. Very exciting. It's the
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: new basin in the United States. And as far as
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I'm concerned, this is an order of magnitude bigger than
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Ultra Petroleum, the one that I did.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: The website is lostsoldier.com.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Pretty simple stuff. Lostsoldier.com. The project, 40,000 acres, took 40
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: years to piece together. It's called Lost Soldier Oil and
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Gas LLC. That's the company. That's the project. But the website, Lostsoldier.com.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: If you're an accredited investor, Mark wants to hear from you.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: If you want to hear more information, check it out.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Fill out the form and you get to Lost Soldier.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Mark and his people will get back to you as CFOs.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: and let you know all the details you need to know, LostSoldier.com. Thanks, Mark,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: for being with us today.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: God bless. Thank you, Wayne.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Good to see you again. All right. Wayne Allen, root
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: the root, the root, the roots on fire. I just
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: sent a note, actually, to President Trump because my director
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: just gave me some really great information. I did not
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: know that when he bombs those those drug boats, those
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: drug traffickers coming from Venezuela and international water. He always
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: talks about how many lives he saved, which is great,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: but he doesn't talk about how much money the drugs
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: are worth on each boat. And Pitar says he just
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: found out each boat is carrying 30 to 50 million
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: dollars worth of fentanyl and other hard drugs or other
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: hard drugs. cocaine, heroin, whatever they're carrying, 30 to 50
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: million on each boat. I think the American people would
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: like to hear that. I think that's an important number.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Every time you blow up one of those boats and
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: kill the drug traffickers aboard the boat, you're not only
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: saving lives, but they were willing to kill our American
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: children so they could make 30 to 50 million on
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: each boatload of drugs and we blew it out of
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: the water. That's good stuff. So I sent a text
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Just now to President Trump's cell phone to let him
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: know that.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Petar. That was a good stat. Good stat.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Let's get back with Mark Skousen, producer of Freedom Fest,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: July 2026 in Las Vegas. Freedomfest.com is where you find it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: It's the world's greatest show on earth for libertarians and
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: people who believe in freedom and liberty. And that includes
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Republicans and conservatives and MAGA.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Patriots of all stripes.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: He's the author of The Greatest American, Benjamin Franklin, history's
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: most versatile genius.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: And before we get back.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: To the book, let's really delve into Freedom Fest. For
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the people watching right now, freedomfest.com, freedomfest.com. Why do they
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: want to go to Freedom Fest? What are they going
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: to see at the world's greatest liberty show?
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: We've been doing this for over a dozen years. And
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: of course, Wayne, you have been one of our keynote speakers.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: We're always grateful for having you. We bring together the
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: best and the brightest from all around the world, Steve Forbes,
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: John Mackey of Whole Foods Markets. We've had Ice-T there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: We've had Kennedy as our moderator from Fox News for
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: many years. I mean, the list goes on and on
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: of the famous people. We've had Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank,
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs. Donald Trump, we had Donald
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Trump 10 years ago when he was running for president
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: and that was at 7-11 in Vegas. And it was
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: a turnaround for his campaign. So we're taking full credit
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: or blame for Donald Trump.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: 7-11-15, that's when he came.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: July 11, 2015. Boy, was that a lifetime ago. I
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: don't know if you know this, but I was at
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: the White House Christmas party on Monday, this past Monday.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: And Trump introduced me to the crowd. He's never done
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: that before at the White House. And he said, Wayne's
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: been with me from the first day, even before the
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: first day, and I will never forget you. And that's
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: really true because I was encouraging him to run for
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: president in April of 2015. And in May, he said
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: to me, I've got a big announcement I'm about to make.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: You're going to get very excited, Wayne. And then on
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: June 15th, 2015, he announced for president of the United States.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And then in July, he was at Freedom Fest. And
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: from there, everything took off. So great stuff. And by
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: the way, you say I've had a big part in it.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: My role lately has been the last five times in
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: a row, I love to be the guy in the
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: big debate at Freedom Fest.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: In front of the whole crowd.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: So let's do that again this year. Let's come up
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: with a great topic after Christmas, after New Year's. Let's
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: you and I put our heads together in January, February,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: come up with a great debate topic, and let's plan
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: who I could debate, because I think that would be
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun, and we could really enjoy ourselves,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: and the crowd would love it at Freedom Fest again.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Wayne, we have... That's what Freedom Fest is famous for.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: We even had Paul Krugman and Steve Moore debate, and
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: it's been... hilarious. And, uh, we would love to have
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: you back and involved in a debate this year. We
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: are calling next year's freedom fast, the world's fair of Liberty.
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: So we're inviting people from all over the world to
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: come to the world's fair in Las Vegas, and we're
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: going to celebrate Liberty. So it's really going to be
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: an exciting conference. And I hope people can, can join us.
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: I'll be there. I'll be signing my book and, uh,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: I understand Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and George Washington
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: are all planning to show up at Freedom Fest next July.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: And you're going to be Ben Franklin.
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: It should be exciting.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: You look just like Ben Franklin. When you're dressed as
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Ben Franklin, you can't even tell it's not Ben Franklin.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: It's eerie how much you look like Benjamin Franklin. It's very,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: very interesting.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, after that many generations, you'd think that I
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: would inherit some of his looks. Actually, my mother looked
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: more like Ben Franklin than I do because I have
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: a little bit of the droopy nose, which Franklin did
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: not have. But, you know, I've played Franklin a number
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: of times and I will be playing him again and
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: hopefully hoping to play Ben Franklin at the White House
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: someday with your help. So we'll see what happens in
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: that regard.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: You know, the big event is coming up, the celebration
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: from 1776 to 2026. And Trump's going to be having
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: a big event at the White House.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: So we shall see.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned the World's Fair because that's one
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: of my earliest memories that's still alive in my mind.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: I was born in 1961 in New York and we
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: had the World's Fair, I believe, in 64 in New York.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: And I remember going to the World's Fair. I still
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: remember it. I still remember the little cars. They had
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: a display with little cars that were running around the city,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: and I was fascinated by it. I was three or
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: four years old, whatever it was at that point.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: Well, we're really excited about Freedom Fest this year, the
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: World's Fair of Liberty, and we're going to have pavilions
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: and famous speakers and everything. We look forward to having
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: you there at freedomfest.com.
