Monica Crowley, America's Ambassador for Protocol, details the "Freedom 250" initiative celebrating the U.S. founding anniversary with events like a National Mall prayer, a White House UFC fight, and an international naval review. She asserts President Trump holds leverage over global trade by isolating Iran and Venezuela, drawing parallels to Nixon's strategy against the Soviets while calling him the most honest president since Washington and Lincoln. Ultimately, Crowley frames these actions as a necessary spiritual and political counter-assault against "dark forces," urging listeners to trust his fearless vision for American exceptionalism.

Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me here today.
Thanks for everybody for coming out on a rainy morning.
Really appreciate it.
You know, thank you also for saying that I have the coolest jobs because I remember when President Trump nominated me for the chief of protocol position, everybody came up to me and said, You're going to have the best job in all of Washington, D.C.
And I thought, well, there are some really cool jobs out.
There, right?
Secretary of War, Secretary of Homeland Security, so many great jobs.
And they said, no, no, no, you don't understand, but you will when you become Chief of Protocol of the United States.
And now that I've been in this position for just about a year, I can honestly tell you I do have the best job in all of Washington, D.C. Extremely grateful to President Trump for thinking of me for this position, for his confidence in me to do it and to serve him as his administration, his agenda, and of course, the American people.
In this position, it really is a blessing.
God is very good.
So, 250, yes.
So, when the president did call me and nominate me for this, he said, Monica, I really want you to be chief of protocol of the United States.
And I said, Thank you so much, sir.
This is the greatest honor of my life, of course.
And then he said, But wait, there's more.
And I said, Yes, sir.
What else would you like me to do?
And he said, I would like for you to be my administration's representative for all of the major US hosted events in the second term.
That includes America's 250th birthday.
It also includes the FIFA World Cup coming to the United States in just a few short weeks.
And it also includes the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
And I have to tell you, both portfolios are absolutely fantastic, extraordinary.
Every day is the greatest adventure because I am Senate confirmed.
I have ambassador rank.
And I'd like to call myself America's ambassador.
And what an incredible blessing that is.
So, on 250, which is the first big major event that is coming upon us here very shortly, we have an entire array of extraordinary events for the American people.
We don't just want to make this a national celebration of our 250th birthday.
We want to make this a truly global celebration.
And one of the things I always talk about when I talk about 250 is that there may be some of us in this room, and I will not ask for hands, but there may be some in this room who remember 50 years ago, America's bicentennial.
You don't have to raise your hand.
But there may be some.
I'm not going to ask you to time stamp yourself.
But there may be some in this room and watching who do remember America's bicentennial celebration in 1976.
And while you may not remember the specifics about that day, I certainly don't because I was very, very, very young.
I don't remember the specifics like where President Ford was that day or what he said to the nation in his big speech to the country that night.
I don't remember those specifics.
But I do remember how I felt.
And I was a little girl, and I remember being at the Jersey seashore with my parents and my sister, Matt, and I remember being at the beach on July 4th that year, holding a sparkler in one hand and a small American flag in the other, waving that flag so proudly.
It was this indelible sense of American patriotism and love for my country, even though I was too young to fully understand what that meant.
I remember being surrounded, of course, by my family, but also by the community on Long Beach Island in New Jersey, and also that feeling of being enveloped by this overwhelming, warm, common love of our exceptional country.
What a gift that was to me and to my generation and the generations that do remember that bicentennial.
And that is exactly what we're trying to recreate for our semi quincentennial this year.
It is that feeling of American patriotism.
Around our shared values, around this shared sense of renewed civic pride.
And so we have built our programming going forth to July 4th and then beyond July 4th, which we'll talk about as well, to really bring this country together.
Because a lot of people, especially if you were born after 1976, you may not understand how divided this country was during the bicentennial year.
We had just come out of Watergate and the resignation of President Nixon.
We had come out of the Vietnam War.
Both episodes really tore this country apart.
There were serious, serious divisions.
And this time around, too, we are a very divided country.
And so, what happened in 1976 was it created a unifying event, a unifying purpose that healed the nation and brought this country together.
And so, we are hoping that our programming, Freedom 250, the website is freedom250.org.
I'm going to say that many times over the course of our conversation.
Freedom250.org, all of the things that we are going to put forth here, all of our programming is really centered on this a couple of ideas, bringing the country together, but also celebrating our exceptional history in our exceptional nation, our extraordinary present under President Donald J. Trump, and our extraordinary future of our next 250 years.
Okay, so, Madam Ambassador, I want to get into a lot of the things that are programmed.
But before we do, I think it's important to note that something you just said there about how, you know, again, the bicentennial, we were pretty divided as a nation.
And again, we're very much so now.
But I think we have a president right now, and President Trump, who really deeply loves this country.
Say what you will about him, love him, hate him.
I get it.
There's a lot of people out there that don't like him.
Trump derangement syndrome runs very, very deep in our political class.
But the fact is he loves this country, and you see it every day.
With what he's doing and just how hard he works.
So, can you talk to us about how important it is that President Trump is the president here on the 250th year?
He said, Well, my first term, I brought the FIFA World Cup to America and I brought the 2028 Olympic Games to America.
And I thought, you know, I'm not going to be around to actually see it because I'll serve two consecutive terms.
And we all know what happened in 2020 where he did win in a landslide.
And we will soon be able to get evidence about that.
But now, I mean, this is absolutely the hand of God here because what a gift it is to have President Trump as president right now in this moment to celebrate America's 250th.
And the president jokes, yeah, I tried to take credit for America's 250th birthday also, but that wasn't quite working out that way.
But yeah, what a gift to have him as president in this moment.
Can you imagine if the other side had been in office, you'd probably get a press release on the morning of July 4th.
And you'd see her out on the beach the rest of the day, yeah, sleeping on the beach.
We are going to have the most momentous and exciting celebration in American history because President Trump has promised the American people that.
Well, it's absolutely perfect, Matt, that this event is really the first major event this year to kick off America's 250th birthday.
Because our big project here, I know at Breitbart, certainly in the White House, President Trump's big project is to restore America back.
To her foundational principles of individual liberty, economic freedom, and self governance, and restore power back to the people.
That's what Make America Great Again is really all about.
So, in order to restore our nation back to those core pillars, you have to have God.
Our founding fathers, in so many of their documents and their letters, refer to God and how they couldn't do what they did in establishing our exceptional country without the hand of God on them, and they recognized that at the time.
So now, here we are, 250 years later, restoring the Republic, and we certainly cannot do it without him.
So, this is why we decided that we were going to have the National Prayer Event on the National Mall as really the first big event to kick off a whole series of events of celebration.
It is called Rededicate 250 on the National Mall, beginning at the park opens at about 8 a.m., and the programming will begin mid morning.
And it is really a national jubilee of prayer, faith, repentance, redemption, and thanksgiving.
For all of the blessings that we have had in this country for the last 250 years.
It's about renewing our personal faith in God.
It's about coming together as a national community to restore this nation as one nation under God.
There have been times in the life of this nation where we've lost our way a little bit with regard to our collective faith.
And what we wanted to do with this event is really bring the American people, bring the country back.
In one big celebration of faith and restoration, a return, if you will, to God.
You know, it's amazing because if you listen to some people on the left, I was just in Europe, I was doing a bunch of panels, and there were some lefty, you know, really not so pro America people on these panels with me.
And we did an America 250 thing at this big Delphi Economic Forum in Greece.
And one of the guys there was trying to, it was paraphrasing our Declaration of Independence.
And he goes, All men born equal, right?
Like the left wants to remove the word created.
They don't like the fact.
That our founders were very focused on faith.
Can you talk to us a little bit about that and how we see, you know, we've maybe moved away from the faith a little bit here in the United States and around the world.
Yeah, I would say in the last hundred years, Woodrow Wilson and kind of the birth of progressivism, there has been really a move towards secularism in our society and not just in America, but really across the West.
And I think what we are trying to do is restore the nation back to its moorings of faith.
The founding fathers, and certainly George Washington, if you go to Mount Vernon, but if you look at all of their letters to each other, to their spouses, Abigail Adams, they all invoke God, and they knew that their mission was blessed.
I mean, if you think about it, and even now, 250 years later, with President Trump, there is no logical explanation for Donald Trump and his path over the last 11 years except the hand of God.
That, I mean, that is just as a person of faith, I believe that.
And then when you zoom out and you look at the life of this country, because it was founded on Judeo Christian principles, because our founders so deeply believed in God, they realized that when God is for you, who can be against you?
And that's why they felt so emboldened and empowered to take on the world's greatest empire.
That showed up in the Revolutionary War in crisp red coats.
And here we came at them, a bunch of ragtag group of country farmers, country lawyers, country merchants, all in their basic clothes and some muskets, took on the world's greatest empire at the time and won.
And created the greatest experiment in human freedom that to this day we seek to preserve.
Oh, but Matt, you're skipping a huge event in between the prayer event, which is critically important, and something else that's also very important to the president.
It's all important to the president, but this one in particular lights him up like no other, and that is the UFC fight on the South Lawn.
They're going to begin building the Octagon at the end of this month, right on the South Lawn.
The president has talked about how there's going to be a 5,000 person theater all around the Octagon, right out of the back door of the White House on the South Lawn.
June 14th, these fights are going to take place.
It's going to be the most extraordinary thing, quite a spectacle.
June 14th happens to be Flag Day.
And it also happens to be the president's birthday.
This is a big birthday for the president, which I know he doesn't want to talk about, but we are going to celebrate that birthday with this massive UFC fight, which is going to be just beyond belief.
So the Great American State Fair launches on June 25th and it runs through July 10th.
So, you'll have 16 days to come out with your family, your friends, get everybody here to Washington, D.C.
It's going to line the National Mall, Matt, and all 50 states and six territories will be represented, each with their own pavilions.
And in every state pavilion, each state is going to showcase what makes them special.
So, I'm sure for Wisconsin, you'll have a lot of cheese curd and other things.
But each state is up to them to decide what they want to showcase in terms of.
Their agriculture, their scientific innovations, anything that makes their state really stand out among the 50 and the six territories, they will highlight in those pavilions.
So, this is going to be a massive nationwide fair, all set on the National Mall.
We're going to have rodeo, we're going to have traditional games and competitions.
And the big highlight for the first time ever on the National Mall, we are going to have a 110 foot Ferris wheel.
So, you'll be able to ride that Ferris wheel and see a perspective of your nation's capital, which is now incredibly safe and clean and increasingly beautiful, all thanks to President Trump, who, when he came in in this term, said, Our capital city should be an absolute gem.
It should sparkle for the people who live and work here, but also for all of the visitors that come from around the country and around the world.
So, when you go up in that Ferris wheel, you will see a newly sparkling Washington, D.C.
And I should mention that the Ferris wheel and the National State Fair, the doors will open every day at 10 a.m., they will go into the evening hours.
So whether you work, you want to spend part of your lunch break there, whatever, but bring all of your family and friends.
10 a.m. till the evening hours, and on the weekends later.
Yes, July 4th, our big salute to America.
And I should say, before I get to Washington, D.C., on July 4th, again, if you remember 1976, there was an international naval review in New York City, in New York Harbor.
And it was a procession of tall ships as well as modern naval ships that started around the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor and then went up the Hudson River.
Absolutely gorgeous.
And at that time, Matt, we had about 20 countries represented with tall ships.
This year, we're looking at over 30 countries sending a gorgeous tall ship from the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th centuries.
Absolutely beautiful.
I will say, being chief of protocol, Matt, I'm around world leaders all the time, and they're ambassadors, and I have hustled every single one to send a tall ship or a modern naval vessel.
So, we are looking at over 30 countries represented in New York City that morning of July 4th, 10 a.m., international procession of tall ships and modern naval vessels.
This is exciting because, by the way, it gives a reason to actually come to D.C. in August because usually, D.C., there's nothing going on here in August.
Everybody leaves, right?
Congress is on recess, et cetera.
This is actually going to be fun.
So tell us what's going to happen here with the IndyCar race.
They're calling it Freedom 250 IndyCar, celebration of America's 250th.
Roger Penske is very close to President Trump.
So, there was a conversation there, and the president said, Let's make it happen.
Let's make it happen as soon as possible.
When can we get this done?
How cool is this?
Well, originally, the original track was going to go around the Capitol building, which, of course, would have been amazing.
Congress could not get their act together.
They would have to sign a waiver because there will be advertising around the track, and you are not allowed to advertise around the Capitol building for obvious reasons.
So, we were trying to get a waiver and work that through, and Congress couldn't get it done in time.
So, the president picked up the phone, made one phone call, and Penske, they just turned it around in one day, redesigned the entire track to go close to the Capitol, but not physically around the Capitol.
Is so cool.
Independence Avenue, Constitution Avenue.
I've seen the entire layout of the areas of the pit stops and where the media is going to be in the different boxes.
This city is going to be transformed into an IndyCar track that is not going to be believed.
The president will drop the flag and kick off the race.
And then Secretary Duffy, Secretary of Transportation, will drop the flag for the winning car.
And we're expecting upwards of 75,000 to 100,000 people coming to DC for that.
Free of charge.
All of these events are free of charge.
Some, I think, you do have to register for Secret Service security and so on, but it costs you absolutely nothing.
Yeah, and then in addition to all of these events, too, you guys have on the website, too, because I was doing my homework before we did this, also several opportunities for students around the country to do things and use their creative juices to help here.
There's an art contest, a poetry contest for young folks across the country.
Yes, so that is called American Heroes Student Art Contest.
You have until July 1st to register and submit the work that you would like to submit for this contest.
Again, freedom250.org for all of the details there.
It's all about celebrating American patriotism, and that's why we called it American Heroes, because we really want to involve these younger generations in a love for the country, because you guys at Breitbart talk about this all the time.
There has been serious indoctrination.
Of our kids for generations, maybe 100 years or so, through public education, but also through private education as well, to really tear kids away from America, what it means to be an American, and tear at the love, the innate love that I certainly had when I was a little girl in 1976, that all of us in this room grew up with.
They've been indoctrinated away from that.
So, what we're trying to do is counterbalance that with a real message of love for America, appreciation.
And get them to have some skin in the game by giving them great incentives with contests like that one.
We're also in the fall, Matt, going to have the Patriot Games, which is also something that's very special to the president.
Yesterday, he announced the renewal of the presidential fitness, physical fitness test for kids in school so that they're not just sitting looking at their phones.
We're all guilty of that, but kids really need to get out in the fresh air and move.
So he has resurrected that to his great credit.
And then in the fall, we're going to have these.
Patriot Games for high school aged kids to really showcase what it means to have the American competitive spirit.
So, the, the, I, a lot of, so, and I think they interconnect, by the way, so I really do.
In that, you know, look, we're talking about our 250th year right now, but the big question, I think, you know, when we're talking about all these other civilizations around the world, whether it's Iranians, the Chinese, et cetera, there's a big question.
They've been around thousands of years.
We've been around 200.
We're the new kids on the block.
But how do we make sure we're around for another 250 and another 250 beyond that and another 250 beyond that?
And I think that's something that President Trump is very much focused on.
So one of the big things that's going to happen next week is President Trump is scheduled to go to China.
And I know.
Both sides are very excited about this meeting, and there's been a lot of maneuvering between the two sides, et cetera.
Tell us about what to expect next week when President Trump goes there, because I know you'll go with him.
So, talk to us about what to see, what we'll see there in China when President Trump visits.
Well, we're all very much looking forward to this trip to China, and the president obviously has a long list of issues to talk to Xi Jinping about, including Iran, of course, and the entire rebalancing of global trade, thanks to President Trump.
He came in in the first term and began instituting tariffs, primarily directed toward China, but also the European Union, so many other countries around the world, because he saw that the United States, the American worker, the American people were getting ripped off by globalization.
And he wanted to rectify that.
He saw entire communities being hollowed out and gutted by globalization in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, but really all across the country.
And he said, what was happening to the American worker?
American industrial base, American agriculture was grossly unfair.
So he began this process in the first term.
Second term, he's taken it on steroids.
It really has rebalanced the global trade balance in a way that nobody expected and nobody thought could be done, and he has done it.
So obviously, trade is at the top of the list.
Iran, the world's oil supply, and the world's energy routes, which this president is also realigning to dramatic effect.
For the benefit of the United States of America and the American people, taking out Maduro, freeing up the Venezuelan oil supply, then going after Iran.
Now we see the blockade in place.
A lot of this is designed to isolate China, which has no real natural oil or energy supplies of its own.
It imports a great percentage of its energy supplies.
So the president going into this meeting with Xi Jinping holds all of the cards.
He actually posted something on True Social the other day with the cards.
Retweeted and put accurate, he does hold all of the cards going into this meeting.
That's exactly where you want the American president to be going into a serious conversation over the course of two days with Xi Jinping.
Because he is realigning the entire global power structure, Xi Jinping understands that as well.
And that is why you have not seen a lot of agitation or complication coming out of Beijing with regard to what we are doing around the world, not just in the Middle East with Iran.
But Venezuela, et cetera, you have not seen Xi Jinping openly complain about it, try to retaliate in any way.
And I will tell you this, Matt you know, you mentioned my position as chief protocol.
I am extremely honored and blessed to be with these world leaders prior to, during, and after they see President Trump.
And I will tell you to a person, these leaders, even when there are serious policy, political, and ideological differences with him, his administration, and with America, They all appreciate a strong American president because they understand exactly where they stand with him and with this country.
President Trump does not leave a question mark over anything.
He tells you exactly what he believes, exactly where he stands, and he will tell you the truth.
President Trump is, dare I say, apart from George Washington, okay, and maybe Abraham Lincoln, he is the most honest president we have ever had.
Now, you may not like what he's telling you.
The truth hurts sometimes.
Truth can be really brutal sometimes.
We all know that to be true.
You may not like what he's saying.
You may not like the way he's telling you the truth, but he will always tell you the truth.
And every leader around the world, whether it's President Putin, President Xi Jinping, they all understand President Trump and they know exactly where they stand with regard to him.
Yes, and that made them, and they were America first.
President Nixon was America first really before there was an America first.
And really, We're champions of the American worker, of the American people, really love this country, body and soul.
There are many similarities.
Maybe you and I will do another conversation like this about that.
It is quite extraordinary, and it both made them top targets of the deep state because they were peacemakers and because they put America first, and the deep state could not have that.
So we can talk about Watergate as a deep state coup another time.
Dissertation about this, about Truman Acheson, and then 20 years later, Nixon Kissinger, and how they treated the People's Republic of China in two very different eras.
But Nixon saw that at the height of the Vietnam War, the United States was really drained domestically, financially, militarily, economically, in every possible way, culturally.
We were being drained by this war.
So his freedom of movement, his latitude, To carry out a very aggressive foreign policy toward the Soviet Union, toward China, et cetera, was very, very restricted.
His hands were tied.
So, what did Nixon do?
Well, he looked at the global chessboard and he understood that he couldn't aggressively confront the Soviet Union at the time.
And Soviet power, in very real and relative terms, was growing in the late 60s, early 70s, particularly with regard to their nuclear arsenal, but also the Soviet conventional arsenal was growing as well.
So he realized he couldn't take them on in a full frontal way.
So the best way to counterbalance the Soviet Union at the time.
Was to open the door to China and use China as a counterweight against growing Soviet power.
And it worked at the time.
You asked me what Nixon would think now.
Nixon was absolutely brilliant and was a true visionary in the sense that he was one of the very few leaders, and I would put Donald Trump in this category as well, who could see what the world was going to look like 20, 30, 40 years down the road, and then make American policy in the moment as president to anticipate that world.
That's what he was trying to do with China deal with them in the moment, counterbalance Soviet power, try to use China as a weight to end or facilitate the end of the war in Vietnam.
And so it was a brilliant strategic move at the time.
What he saw happen over the next 30 years that he lived after that was that China then was leveraging its growing power and its billion plus people to.
Open up economically to the rest of the world and then use our money via trade and other ways to enrich and empower itself in a very fast period of time.
My very first trip to China was in 1993 with President Nixon.
It was his last trip to China, my first.
And Matt, when I tell you it was just coming out of this agrarian kind of societal period, there were four main lanes in the highway in Beijing.
So, the middle lane had no cars on it in 1993, and that lane was dedicated for the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.
So, whenever the leader, the premier, wanted to go along with his entourage, that lane was always clear, no cars.
The second lane in was meant for personal vehicles.
That lane was also empty.
I think maybe I saw one or two personal cars going through Beijing in that lane in 1993.
The fourth lane over.
Was bicycles, and that was packed.
Millions of people in those bike lanes.
And the fourth lane over was for donkeys and oxen and carts.
And that lane was also jammed.
Fast forward to 2019, and I'm working for the first Trump administration at the Treasury Department with Secretary Mnuchin, and we went in August of 2019 to talk about phase one trade deal.
And I could not believe my eyes.
I had not been to China in the previous 20, 25 years.
I could not believe what I was saying.
In the space of one generation, China had become a nuclear and industrial superpower.
Okay?
In the space of one generation.
And I remember leaving in 2019, shortly before COVID exploded in Wuhan.
We were there maybe two months before it exploded there.
But I remember thinking every American who has the resources to go to China must go and see with their own eyes what we are up against.
You can read about it.
You can see it on TV.
Unless and until you go there and experience what they have done in 25 to 30 years, you will not understand it.
President Trump understands it.
He gets that the CCP is an existential threat to the United States.
So while he tweets and true socials about how he's got a great relationship with Xi Jinping, as Xi Jinping is highly respected, all of that is true.
But the president understands the nature of this threat in every way strategic, economic, trade wise, in every aspect.
And his priority is the United States and getting America into the Premier position where we remain the world superpower in every part of that superpower portfolio, and China does not get to that point.
So that is what he is going into these meetings with.
President Nixon understood that as well, and he set the table.
And right now, President Nixon would 1,000% be behind President Trump and what he was doing.
He would have understood 15 years ago, 20 years ago, that the orientation of China to the rest of the world had changed, and therefore American policy.
Toward China had to change.
And he would not have allowed this kind of exploitation of America's industrial base, the American people, American workers, to have occurred had he been president during that period of time, the 80s and the 90s and into the 2000s.
But the fact is, I feel like the, and I say this whenever I go overseas, I mentioned I was just in Greece and, you know, it was my third trip there in the last year.
I've been to Italy, to a number of other places as well.
I've had conversations with a number of different embassies around town.
It's been a really fascinating experience here, especially in Trump's second term, because I think that I try to explain this to folks.
I get it that they freak out about this thing or that thing, or, you know, Greenland, oh, tariffs, oh, you know, whatever the latest thing is.
The fact of the matter is that what President Trump, I think, is trying to do, and I think you see this on the front lines, he is trying to basically rally the entire free world to the United States' side.
Ronald Reagan called us the shining city on a hill.
Are we that shining city on a hill?
And how do we make sure that we lead the entire world for another 250 and another 250 beyond that?
Let's go for 5,000, right?
But let's start with another 250.
So I think that's very much what the president is trying to do in all of these things, in everything that he's doing, whether it's the trade policies, whether it's the peace deals, whether it's the The military actions, like what he's doing with Iran and what he did with Venezuela, or what he's doing with our diplomatic power as well.
So it's just, it's pretty incredible to watch, I think.
So just in the last little bit we got left here, Madam Ambassador, kind of give us that bigger, broader vision here, because I do think that what the President is doing is designed.
And again, I get it, sometimes they freak out, you know, this one or that one off this comment or that comment.
No, there's a bigger vision here from President Trump, and I think that you see it coming together on a bigger stage, especially if you study geopolitics at all.
Listen, President Trump has been a public figure for 50 years.
He's been a political figure for the last 11 or 12 since he decided to run for president back in 2015.
I think at this point, if you still don't know who this man is, what he believes, What he has done and what he intends to do.
I don't know what to tell you because he, like I said, he is the most honest president we've ever had.
He tells you point blank what his objectives are.
I also think he understands, and we were talking about the spiritual aspect of America before.
And because this country was founded on Judeo Christian principles and under the hand of God, this country has been under spiritual assault literally from day one Revolutionary War, Civil War, Great Depression, two world wars, deep state wars from within.
This country has been in assault because there are some dark forces that really want to see this country collapse.
I think President Trump understands that aspect.
I think he feels it.
I think he sees it.
And he understands, just as the founding fathers did, that every day in America is a fight because we're under constant assault.
This man gets up every single day, puts on the armor of God, and goes to battle for the United States.
And therefore, each one of us who believes in this country has to do the exact same.
I proudly do it every single day.
I know you at Breitbart, you all do it too.
Everybody in this room, everybody watching does the same thing.
So, when you hear something that sounds a little off, understand that President Trump understands the bigger picture.
He gets it.
And he is a master of the game.
So, he'll troll somebody, he'll throw something out there that sounds completely outrageous, right, to the natural ear.
And just right on cue, the press, the left, everybody goes absolutely crazy.
They're all chasing that shiny object.
He's laughing because he's over here.
Doing something else that's incredibly important for the country and for the West.
So understand that when you hear or see something that may not jive with what you think is right or something, just understand there is always a plan.
There is always a method to his madness.
And after being through everything he's been through, he didn't take us this far just to leave us behind or to leave the agenda half done.
Absolutely not.
You know, in January of last year, January of 2025, I think he had been in office this time for about 10 days, Matt, and somebody tweeted, I think I bookmarked it, but I forget who tweeted it.
Somebody tweeted, and it went crazy viral because it was so good.
They wrote President Trump is governing like a man who's been arrested, raided, impeached, indicted, and shot.
And it's so true because he literally has nothing left to lose.
Absolutely fearless.
He does not waste a single moment in this administration.
We're all just trying to catch up with him and keep pace with him because he is understandable.
You can find out all of the details of everything we've discussed here today, find out what's happening nationally, all of these big events, but also what's happening in your state, your community, and also how you can get involved.
One thing we didn't mention were the Freedom Trucks, which are phenomenal.
They're a fleet of 18 wheelers packed full of America's story, beautifully done.
They're museums on wheels.
And if you've got like a trade conference or a corporate conference coming close to July 4th or even after, You can book one of these freedom trucks for any event, even a birthday party or something you want to do.
All of it can be found at freedom250.org.
So please get involved.
I do have such great memories of 1976 and just, you know, corporations had everything was red, white, and blue.
If you go into Target now, you see some of that.
But we really want to create an overwhelming sense of American patriotism as we celebrate this birthday.
So I encourage everybody to get involved, come out to all of our events, freedom250.org.
