A
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it.

B
I know you don't like hearing that.

A
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go

Friday Thursday 3July, year of our Lord 2026. Of course, commemoration of Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Get to all that in the 250th this weekend. Kicking off the combat aircraft already at treetop level or Capitol Hill and down to the Mall. If you're around, you can see it's amazing. Tomorrow, the military, the naval, the Naval review is going to be incredible. Seven to about 9:30, naval review. We're going to have top experts are going to join us for that. That's the warships and then the combatants. Then we'll get to the tall ships. We're also going to do a special tour down at Freedom Plaza. And Matthew Taylor, the creator of all that and the organizer of all that, is going to join us here momentarily. Eric Metaxas is going to be here to tell us about what was going on on this day in Philadelphia as they prepped for tomorrow. Author Pfitzenmaier joins us from home. Title LOCK Arthur, I got a question. Particularly on this weekend, I want people to commemorate the 250th. They never think in a million years that somebody could get in their title and actually take possession of it and either monetize it by taking out a hard money loan or which they got to pay back, essentially they'll go into bankruptcy and or sometimes Natalie comes on with these stories to actually sell your property, Is that outside the level of probability? I mean, this is a pretty prevalent crime and you've seen this in your years in the FBI.
- [02:19]
D
Well, first of all, happy Fourth of July. Thanks for having me again.
- [02:24]
A
Thank you, sir.
- [02:25]
D
The whole concept of people thinking that can't happen to me is, you know, like sticking your head in the water and hoping that, you know, it doesn't find you. And I can give you a very personal experience. And that's My life. I have two older sisters and I can say old because I'm old. And one of them passed away at the end of last year. And years ago I put their property on my account so I could monitor, make sure they're okay. And about a month ago I got a notification from Home Title Lock and they said there's been a name change on your property. And so I went in and looked at it and essentially it was in a trust. And at some point, as they re did the trust from a trust between my sister and my brother in law and she dropped off, they had to redo it, they dropped the trust name and just put my brother in law's name in now. You know, even if it's not a foreign cyber thief attacking you, it's things like this that you really need to pay attention. Wow.
- [03:36]
A
Wow.
- [03:37]
D
If you're, if your title gets all screwed up and it sits there for years and you don't know it and then it comes time to sell your house, you're going to find out that you've got weeks, if not months of legal wrangling to make sure that the title gets back in your name. And my brother in law's case, I called him right away and I said, look, the trust is no longer the owner of your house, you are. And I said that down the road could be big problems for your heirs and you need to straighten it out right away. And he looked at it and he called me back a couple days later, he said, yeah, my attorneys looked at it and they said for some reason one of the insurance companies involved in this whole trust deal changed the name on the trust to your name rather than having the trust with both their names on it. I'm going to say strictly a, you know,
- [04:32]
A
and Home Title Lock and Home Title Lock will pick that up immediately. Right. Even a mistake, it's bad enough having rogue lawyer or rogue accountant. They will pick that up immediately. Correct.
- [04:43]
D
This is, yeah, this is what we do all the time. I mean it's amazing how many times a month someone will subscribe to Home Title Lock. And the, it's called the apn, the assessor parcel number that's like, I call it the nuclear code for your property. It said 1214 digit secret number that you can never remember and nobody should, but they get transposed either at the con recorder's office or when you're signing up. We catch those things right there and stop it. Our software, I should say, catches those things and it'll send you a note that there's A problem with your property. And then our restoration people, and this is, you know, routine for them now, they do this so often so well, they'll go in there with you and correct that record right away so that it doesn't sit there. You know, when you think about selling your house, you'll sell your house because you need the money to buy a new house. And the person buying your house needs to get out of their house and get into your house. And if that gets delayed by a couple of months, the whole deal goes upside down. Oh, you don't want that to happen. You need to make sure your house is in your name and that you've got it protected so that never changes. And it's, it's, it's a critical piece of your.
- [06:00]
A
Wow.
- [06:01]
D
Most important asset and that's your house. All of your net worth is sitting right there.
- [06:06]
A
Oh no. It's all there. So every dream you ever had in your net worth. We're gonna. I'd love that term, nuclear code. We're gonna be back on hometitle lock.com promo code Steve 25. 25% off a two year pennies a day, two year installment of working with home title lock and getting 1 million dollar triple lock protection. Natalie Dominguez and the team just go to hometitlelock.com promo code steve25 to get all the, to get all the answer, to get all the aspects of your nuclear code. It's brilliant, Arthur. Thank you. By the way, Arthur, how many years did. Were you in service to the country in the FBI?
- [06:47]
D
Well, I was with the FBI for 26 years, but I've been involved in law enforcement for like the last 50 or 60 years. Correctly. When I left the Bureau, I actually went with the San Diego County Sheriff's search and rescue team for about eight or nine years, plus other boards and things that I've been on, participated in. It's part of my fabric and this thing right here, that means everything to me, period.
- [07:16]
A
Wow, brother, thank you so much. Thank you for your service in law enforcement at the FBI. Appreciate you. Happy fourth of July. Happy.
- [07:24]
D
Thank you. Same to you.
- [07:27]
A
Eric Metaxas. Do I have my taxes? Do I have my taxes? Okay, you can say hi, Eric, do we have you? Hello, how are you? Hey, fourth day early.
- [07:44]
B
I'm excited like a kid. Like we're going to land on the moon tomorrow. This is exciting. Once in a lifetime, big deal stuff. I'm here in D.C. i can hear the jets roaring overhead. They're doing flybys right outside my window. I just. I praise God for this country. God bless America. An exciting time for all of us to be alive.
- [08:09]
A
We're having, by the way, War Room posse members and War Room engine room are contacting me, the ones in D.C. around the areas and their grandkids are loving the jets. And, yeah, they're coming in. They're coming in hot and heavy. That's the sound of freedom, baby. So Drudge has a link up to a poll. I think it's Gallup. Less than 50%, 46% of Americans that they polled did not know what we were celebrating. The 250th anniversary. 46%, 53% knew it was the signing of the declaration of independence. 46%. No, gots. No.
- [08:51]
E
No.
- [08:51]
A
Eric. Taxes. What do you say to that, brother, on the day before 4th of July?
- [08:58]
B
Listen, I always have a lot to say. I'll try to keep my remarks brief, honestly. Number one, there have always been ignorant people. There have always been people who don't care about anything. If you go to Nazi Germany, not everybody was pro Hitler. Plenty of people were just willing to sit on the fence. They didn't care about good or evil. And then there were people that were working for the dark side in America in 1776. Let's not pretend that every American was on the side of the patriots. They were not. A lot of people didn't care which way it went. And a lot of people were absolutely staunchly with King George iii. And in America today, you have a similar situation. You have a lot of people that they hate this country. They don't understand this country. They don't care about this country. The question is all, are there enough of us willing to fight, willing to sacrifice everything as we should be, as the heroes of the revolution were? And the reason I wrote my book is we need to be reminded that people bled and died and suffered and sacrificed for us. We owe them a debt. We should know their names and their stories, and we should be part of the ongoing revolution for liberty. This is not something that, you know, was sealed in 1783 or 1787. It's an ongoing thing. And as you have talked about, we wax and wane in our fidelity to the principles of the founding. And so we need to know what they are. But you know what's funny to me is in doing the research for the book, I learned so much. And obviously I put it in the book because I want everybody to know. But everybody thinks that the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th. Everybody knows it, right? It was Not. It was not signed on July 4th. Everybody says, but I've seen the photos. No, you haven't seen the photos. You haven't even seen the painting. The painting depicts what happened on August 2, 1776. So what happened on July 4? What happened on July 4 was the text of the Declaration of Independence was officially approved by Congress. We know that July 2nd was the day that Congress voted for independence. That's why John Adams thought, that's the day we're gonna celebrate with humble acts of devotion to God and fireworks and flyovers. Actually, he didn't say flyovers in his letter, but he implied it. It's kind of funny to me that that's what happened on July 2 is we voted for independence. So he thought, that's the big day. And then on the third, we debated the text of the declaration. On the fourth, finally it was approved. So at the top of the official, engrossed version is written July 4th. So we all kind of think, oh, it happened on that day. But that's the day they approved the text. Then it gets put into this official version, the engrossed version, which is so beautifully written and everything. And then they actually signed it on August 2nd. So these things matter in a way. It's not the most important thing in the world. Like, we can only celebrate one date. And tomorrow, July 4th is that beautiful date that we celebrate. But it's interesting to understand how these things work, how the process worked. And actually, even before that, I guess it was. Was it June 7th when they had the vote really, to declare independence? You know, Richard Henry Lee famously puts the. The. The thing before Congress, and they have the debate. So there's a lot of pieces to it. But of course, tomorrow, that's the day we saw. That's the big day.
- [12:31]
A
Just go back through. I want to go to the. I know the seventh, they had the debate. They had the drafting of it. But on starting on the 1st of July, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Walk us through the chain of events, chain of custody of this that we get to tomorrow.
- [12:45]
B
The chain of custody. They lost the ballots. They don't know what happened. There's no chain of custody. Basically, the. Well, it's an interesting thing again, because. And it's good for us to understand how this works, right? John Adams, he's the mastermind behind independence. He's the one that is maneuvering politically and thinking, how do we do this? And that's why I was saying the other day on your show he needed to get Virginians, because he said, they don't trust Massachusetts. We're considered the hyper Christian Puritan hotheads. And we need to let the other colonies know we're not the only ones behind this. There's Virginians that are with us. So he gets Richard Henry Lee to put forth this motion for independence and that's it. I mean, when they vote that day, it's over. They have voted, but then they say, well, we're going to need to have a document that lays out why we did what we did. We all know why. Because we debated in Congress. We didn't do it for no reason, but we need to kind of officially put it in a document. So they have a committee. Obviously, it's Ben Franklin, John Adams.
- [13:52]
A
Well, they, they, they know, they say, by the way, we're gonna go to break and we'll hold you through the break. They know that they've got to put it in writing because this is, they understand that this is. The crown will take this as a declaration of war, Correct? I mean, the crown, they. The concept of independence is not a concept that they can take and wrap their head around. You're a colony. You're, you're like India.
- [14:15]
D
That's the whole point.
- [14:15]
A
Independence. Metaxas. I want to hang on. I want to get down to all this. The book is Revolution, is number three in the New York Times bestseller list. Amazing. It was number two. Went to eight. Now back to three. You will see the work of the hand of divine Providence working through human agency in this book. It's magnificent. Reads like it's got many novelistic techniques that keep the narrative. It's just unbelievable. A page turner about a revolution at about 600 pages won't be able to put it down short.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

A
Okay, Metaxas. The reason they had to have. And the Virginia. Virginia had. The Commonwealth of Virginia had to do it because it was the. One of the powerhouse states, or the powerhouse state, as we like to say, from the Commonwealth. But you had to have a family like the Lees. Richard Henry Lee, another powerhouse family. They knew the reason there was so much contention and they considered Adams an obnoxious jerk, was that they felt that certain elements in Boston and Massachusetts were too radical and were pushing this thing to war. And a lot of these guys didn't want war. Remember, they're all Englishmen, they're living in colonies, but these are all subjects. These are all English subjects. They realize that what Adams is proposing, they ain't a declaration of independence. It's a declaration of war against the Crown. And remember Dickinson and the guys in Pennsylvania win a compromise to send a letter to say, hey, King George, we're loyal. We're great. You know, let's discuss. We don't want to do this. Let's discuss. And he goes, I think the letter comes back and says, yo, anybody in this assembly that's even talking about this guilty of treason, and I'll hang them. I mean, that's when Adams. So this declaration that we're going, we call it a Declaration of Independence. The British and the guys that signed it felt it was a declaration of war. And we did have a war of independence, basically starting the next day for what, seven or eight years, a war, right? So they knew they were signing their death warrants. They signed this. The Crown's got every right to hang you, don't they?
- [18:35]
B
Well, see, here's the thing, Steve. Most people listening to us right now have not done what you've done. You went to jail. It's easy to talk. It's easy to say things like, oh, you know, I would. I would. These guys knew that this is. This is real. They trembled when they signed it on August 2. They trembled with the severity. I mean, there's accounts. I write in the book about it, that there was a deadly silence in the room. This was not fun. They didn't know how this is gonna turn out. So this was as real as it gets. And so, yes, in June, when John Adams persuades Richard Henry Lee to put forth his Declaration of Independence, or the motion on June 7th. So now it's real, and now they're all scrambling. What do we do? They're all in Philadelphia, but they have to go home to find out or write letters home, I should say. And to have these letters blasted off on horses to all their home states, to their home colonies and assemblies to say, what do you think? What do you think? How do we do? They didn't really feel the freedom to, like, you know, so they have to wait now from June 7th until roughly July 1st second, when the letters come back, and they're gonna. They're gonna make their decisions. And we know John Dickinson of Philadelphia. He was. It's kind of funny. John Adams would mock him privately in letters, call him the farmer, because he wrote in 1768, A famous thing, letters from a farmer, you know, sort of a reasonable thing, you know, about why we're being mistreated by the British. But he was always reasonable and moderate and Quaker. And John Adams would refer to him in letters as the Farmer said the Farmer, you know, so we forget that not everybody was on board and that you have. I mean, let's be blunt. These are radical Christians. These are people like John Adams, who will understand our rights come from God, not from the king. And if we are going to be burnt at the stake or hanged or drawn in quarter or whatever, or we obey God rather than men. You cannot have the American Revolution without God and without very serious Christians. I'm not talking about twice a year I go to church. I believe in God, BS Christians. I'm talking about actual people who live out their faith, willing to die for their faith. That's who made this country. And so John Adams is very canny. He gets Richard Henry Lee to put forth this resolution on June 7th. Now they're all scrambling, writing to their, you know, whatever. So they gather, you know, July 1st, July 2nd. Now they have to actually vote on this, and then they have to debate it. And so the vote, of course, July 2nd, they. They're all in. And, you know, you have to give credit to people like Dickinson. And at the end, he was like, okay, I understand. Even though I don't like this idea. Even though he still foolishly thinks maybe there's a path forward of reconciliation with the crown. And he understood. They all understood. We have to hang together. To use Franklin's famous phrase, we've gotta. You know. So they didn't want to give the crown the appearance of. Well, there's a few colonies we can pick off. They stood together. So that's an amazing thing right there, that they understood the battle. And then when they debate the text that, you know. And again, people always say. And it drives me crazy, people always say, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. That's not really accurate. It's just not accurate. I mean, he was asked to produce.
- [22:07]
A
You're anti. You're anti Southern. Metaxas, I love you. You're anti Southern. Where are you from? Metaxas. Where are you born?
- [22:13]
B
No, no, listen, that's not true.
- [22:15]
A
No, I'm just. I'm just saying.
- [22:16]
E
I'm not. I'm just.
- [22:17]
A
I'm just asking. I'm just asking for information. Don't take it personally. I'm gonna make it. Where are you from?
- [22:25]
B
No, what I was gonna say was that I see Jefferson in a different strain from.
- [22:30]
A
Oh, man.
- [22:31]
B
Let's think about George Washington. The great Virginia folks should know Virginia.
- [22:36]
A
The Virginia. Massachusetts starts at the first Thanksgiving and the fight goes all the way through. Is it Adams or Jefferson? It's two competitive commonwealths. Let's say that.
- [22:46]
D
Eric.
- [22:46]
B
I'm the son of immigrants. I was born in New York City. I was born in Queens, like a famous president.
- [22:52]
A
Okay, good. I love that. Listen, let me ask you a question before we go on. When this thing was getting ready to sign, if we had poly markets. Markets in the day, which is supposed to be. Polymarkets are supposed to be really. The world's an efficient market theory. And polymarkets are supposed to be people that have the information. And I'm not saying inside information, but the collective wisdom of markets is what poly markets is. What would poly markets say on the day this was signed? The odds. Polymarkets understanding that when you say Declaration of Independence and they read the Declaration of Independence, you got this really flowery, brilliant, beautiful stuff of all mankind up at the pursuit of happiness. But 75% of it is a bill of indictment against a guy named George iii. Right. In Commons. Right. This is going to war. And they're not shy by the way what they say about the king is not particularly pleasant. You can't say, you know, in a family situation. So they realize Polymarkus knows this is a declaration of war. Where would would it be? 90, 10 against? What. What would Polymark it say the odds against success would be?
- [24:00]
B
You have to answer that question. Because what I was going to say was there are times, and I know because of who you are that you understand this and I hope I understand this. There's times when you don't look at the odds. You look at what is right and what is wrong. And is God real? If God is real, my job is to do the right thing and to trust God with the details. How long is this going to go? Am I going to be drawn in quarter people?
- [24:25]
A
Hang on, hang on, hang on. That's my point, by the way. The way they killed guys. The way they killed guys was horrible. But that's my point. In a rational world of markets, right? In the rational world of markets, the odds here are 9010 against. Again, This is why they considered this a sacred duty and that they were acting divine providence were working through them as instruments of divine will. Is that essentially your case? And your case you make in the
- [25:01]
B
book that's so interesting. In other words, in the natural right, what we Christians call in the natural right, the worldly wisdom says safe money, you bet against the colonies all day long if you want. That's the worldly wisdom. They're always going to be people like that. Always going to be people that they don't really care about the right or wrong. Like how can I make money? What's the safe bet? The men involved in creating this country were not those kind of men. They were actual leaders. They were the kind of people willing to suffer and die and lose things, sacrifice for what is right and true. And you know what? That's real faith, Steve. That's real faith. Cuz it's easy to talk about. I believe this. I believe that you believe nothing until you're actually willing to live it out and to lose everything you know in doing it. And Washington was that kind of a man. Adams was that kind of a man. They were the real thing. They really believed that my duty is to do the right thing before God. They lived it out. And when you. That's why I said I wanted to write the book in the first place. We need to know their stories. It's really not okay that we don't know this. And previous generations of Americans all knew this. You could throw any name from My book at anybody in America, you know, 60 plus years ago, we all knew it. We learned it in school over and over and over again. The Sons of Liberty, James Otis Jr. Paul Revere. These details were part of the warp and the wolf of American culture. It's gone out of the culture. And if you want to know why we've become soft and weak to the point that we've had to go through the hell we've gone through, it's because we've forgotten this history. So I feel, you know, thrilled that. And in our 250th year, we are now refocusing. We're talking about it. Even people who don't want to talk about it, we're talking about it.
- [26:45]
A
You are an instrument. Okay, we got a minute and a half, 90 seconds. Where did he get this book, folks? And look, tomorrow doesn't end it. Tomorrow we really go turbocharged for covering this here in the war. And we're going to take the next almost daily talk about the War of Independence. We're starting now a grind. Where do people get this book? Because you've got it all in here. The great stories, the vignettes, the personalities, both foreign again, where do they go? Metaxas?
- [27:13]
B
Probably the easiest place is Amazon. If you want to go other places, you can go to my website, ericmataxas.com but Amazon now has books again. It sold so quickly that they were out of stock, but it's back in stock. People are telling me, you know, and you've been saying this, and it thrills me as the writer, that people are loving to read it. They're enjoying reading it. I always say, like, if it's a dull history book, it's a bad history book. But my thing is, we've said it on this program, we have to get this into the mainstream. It's not enough that people who are on our page, we're gonna do it, are reading this. We have to get this into the hands.
- [27:50]
A
We're gonna get it. It's a beach read. Here's what I'm telling you, folks. If you put this under your arm, people are gonna think that person's a smart person. If you actually read it, you'll become a smart person. Eric Metaxas, we'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow on the 4th of July. Thank you, brother. Thank you for coming back to the imperial capital, sir. Appreciate you.
- [28:10]

Thank you.

Okay, let's go out to Mount Rushmore. Our own Neil McCabe is out there. Neal, great job out in the Badlands the other day. You're at Mount Rushmore. Tell us we can expect and anticipate tonight and kind of the timing as you know it. I know things are shifting around because I think the president just became aware like yesterday that he wasn't scheduled to go on until like 11:00 o', clock, 11:00pm Eastern Daylight Time. Back here for a speech. And hey, I don't know about you, but Stephen K. Bannon is long, long asleep. I think he's moved it up. What's going on, Neil?
- [30:47]
E
Well, the, the schedule as at, you know, as it was set and these are local times. So I think we're in mountain time. I've been bouncing between time zones so my math isn't very good. So I'm just going to tell you the locals. So gates open at 1 o'. Clock. The program begins at 4 and then sometime around twilight or sunset. Sunset is at 8:39 tonight. Local governor Larry Rodham and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum will, they will sort of make opening remarks and then introduce President Donald J. Trump. And so as you said, you know, you add two hours to that.
- [31:27]
A
Yeah, but that, yeah, but 8:30 is 10:30. That's still too late. They gotta move this anyway. I'm sure this is a movable feast today. Just stay in touch with real America's voice throughout the day. Neil McKay will be coming in and out of shows. I'm sure there's going to be some tweaking to that. Maybe the speech starts before the sun goes down and the fireworks start right after that. But it's, you know, 10:30 is pretty late, particularly when you get all the Fourth of July celebrations. What are you anticipating? The crowd? Yeah. I wonder. The crowd in North Dakota never, they had a massive crowd. Never really covered that well by the media. But the president was warmly received, correct?
- [32:08]
E
Oh, extremely well. I mean I don't know what the numbers but he gets Saddam Hussein type vote counts here in this part of the country. And so they love him here and you could feel him sort of feeding off of the love from the crowd and it was going back and forth and I think you're going to see a lot of that also. And I, I also want to make the point. I don't know if I'll have time. I'll, I'll just say now the, the Indian name, the Lakota name for Mount Rushmore is translated into Sikh. It means six grandfathers. So there could be a chance that we could have, you know, one or two more faces up there. And Secretary Burgum has said in interviews that he thinks it's possible to at least carve one more face up there. And he thinks it might be Donald Trump. The official of the park service is that says it can't happen. They say it's impossible. But you know these careerists, Steve. Right. They're always going to say no to. But Burgum thinks it's possible. I counted at least two more spots. As I said, the Indian name for this place is six grandfathers.
- [33:17]
A
Yeah. No, it's definitely possible. Boy, if you let Metaxas take. You may take Jefferson down or play. No, I'm just kidding, Eric. Just friendly banner. Friendly banner between Yankees and folks from the South. Well, we're going to look forward. I really want to thank you, Neil. On the, on the spur of the moment, David Zier, our great David Zier was Supposed to go. David is a little under the weather, but I should say under the weather. Had a foot injury. I think it's taken care of. And David's supposed to be with us on a naval coverage. He and Posobic are going to actually be there tomorrow. Neil McCabe is covering for him at Mount Rushmore. This is going to be spectacular. The President's really looking forward to this. That's why I hope enough people are up to make this. I hope it's a little earlier so people can. So people can actually see it. So, McCabe, you're going to be on Real America's Voice throughout the day. What are your socials until then? Brother, you're doing a great job out there.
- [34:10]
E
You can find me at reporter McCabe on all the socials.
- [34:14]
D
Steve,
- [34:16]
A
you know, McCabe also, you know, we send the out there. Don't go native on me. Don't start giving me Lakota Sioux. I don't want to. I don't want to hear the. I don't want to hear the Great War Dance or the Ghost Dance. Don't be doing. Don't bring back. And you're going to do the Ghost Dance out here in front of the Supreme Court. Okay. Don't go native on me. Neil McCabe. Neil McCabe out at Mount Rushmore. The Dakotas will do that. It's so stunningly beautiful, right? The Dakotas will do that. It'll do that to you. Okay. A very special guest, Matthew Taylor, joins us. Matthew, it was director of photography and then editor for many, many of the documentary films I made. Absolute genius. He then became a director. In fact, Matthew, correct me if I'm wrong, Government Gangsters. I think you're the director of Government Gangsters.
- [35:05]
F
Yes, I am. I am proud director of Government Gangsters. It's one of our best films.
- [35:10]
A
One of our best. I love that film. I'm sending it back over to Cash to make sure he has cash. We made a decision. Cash, you're the only guy in Government Gangsters. We just want you kind of basically tell us what's in the book. No, Matthew, I think the gem here in this entire time of what we're doing with the fourth is something that you've conceived. It's so stunning, in fact, because every now and again, Matthew and Dan, my production team will pitch me an idea that's so out there. I go, guys, that's ridiculous. That's ridonkulous.
- [35:44]
D
Right?
- [35:45]
A
You talked to me about this months ago. I said, yeah, okay, Matthew, it sounds great. Figuring it couldn't be true because if it was even one third true, it'd be shut down by somebody in Congress.
- [35:58]
D
Right.
- [35:59]
A
Or the media would tear it apart. And then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, when Ambassador Crowley was here the other day, I was going through the checklist. I go, hold it. The Freedom Plaza with the statues that didn't actually happen. Or they've moved that out to like the Shenandoah Valley. They go, oh, no, no, it's right outside the Willard National Theater. I go, it's right there across from World War I. The Magnificent, you know, architecture. Tell us about it. First off, tell us what's there. And tomorrow we're going to have a special. You are the conceiver of this. We're going to have during the naval review from 7 to 1. And we're going to get a time probably later in the morning as we turn to the tall ships. Matthew's going to give us an exclusive walkthrough as the creat this. What in the hell are we talking about? And why is this so magnificent? And I hope and I pray and we will work to make sure this is permanent in Washington D.C. sir.
- [36:54]

Well, you know, America has not been building large scale monuments for a long time. And this was a massive installation of 22 sculptures. The major piece of the, of the Freedom Plaza, which is where it sits, is of course the Cesar Rodney statue that was torn down in Delaware in 2020. So we helped bring it back. We put him on a giant pedestal. Of course, he's a critical member. That's that rode through the night 80 miles through a storm with cancer and emphysema to break the tie in Philadelphia that would actually create the Declaration of Independence. And then there's also a massive monument to the notorious British prison ships. More people died on the prison ships than in combat. It was almost 12,000 people. And all they had to do was just renounce the king and they could go home. And they did not. And then you have 12 soldiers of the revolution, citizen soldiers, regular people who did extraordinary things. And as you can see, they're being pulled through on a tractor trailer right there the day we installed them. There are six black patriots. There are five sculptures of people that have never been made before. And then of course, the pinnacle of the entire exhibition is a new symbol of American liberty. You have the Statue of Liberty, you have the Statue of Freedom on top of the Capitol. But this is a 21st century, completely original statue called the Spirit of Liberty. And she holds the Declaration in one hand and points A sword to the sky. And the entire exhibition comes to this focal point. And along her base there are three reliefs that show the signing of the Declaration, the crossing of the Delaware, and the surrender at Yorktown. And so what this is, it's a massive exhibition to take people through these amazing events, to inspire them for the America 250. And of course, you know, it shows that we can build again, we can create beautiful things again. You know, I'm very proud. I actually designed the Spirit of Liberty from the ground up. You showed a drawing earlier and the ship panels and the bases and things like that. And a lot of this credit actually goes to Vince Haley, who was one of the people who put this project forward in the first place. And he allowed some guy from art school, a sculptor from art school and filmmaker to basically put this whole thing together. So we opened a couple days ago to a wonderful event. And I've been going there every day, just asking people in the plaza, what do you think of the statues? And if they like the statues, you might see me there and I'll give you a personal tour and walk you through all of them. But again, it's 22 statues. One of them, of course, is Cesar Rodney. And as you can see right there, that is Simon Knowles, who's the great, great, great, great grandfather of Michael Knowles.
- [39:37]
A
But hold on, hang on for a second. Tell me about the Caesar. This is why I love this. If you remember, in the summer of love of 2020, they were spitting on these monuments they were tearing down over in England. I think they marked up Lincoln, they marked up Winston Churchill. Tell me about the Caesar Romney statue specifically.
- [39:59]
F
Well, the city took him down and put him in a box. And I believe when he was being transported, his head hit a bridge and I think the driver put it in reverse and caused great damage to the statute. Of course the statue was repaired, but he had been sitting in a box for a very long time. And so with the help of state senator Eric Buxton, I was able to retrieve the statue. And of course, with the help of National Park Services and the Department of Interior, we were able to do this project on a large scale. And he is now hoisted back to where he belongs. He's a critical, critical member. People say, who's Cesar Rodney? And I say he's the guy. He had to ride. There was a deadlock and he broke the deadlock and that's why we have this country. And so he is the pinnacle. Of course, at the other end of the park is the pre existing Pulaski statue, Polish war hero. And so he also faces Cesar Rodney. And as you can see in this image here, you see the ship panels in the back that show the prison ship. But it really, it's really inspiring. You know, this, this guy just said, no, this has to happen. He has cancer, his emphysema. There's a storm. It's 80 miles. It's through the night. And he just rode and rode and rode. And he really helped create this beautiful, beautiful country we have. And there he is. He's. He's back to where he belongs. And he's on loan for us from Delaware. And so we're grateful to Delaware for
- [41:25]
A
allowing us that have him of the 22. And by the way, people don't know this, you were a major sculptor. You were a sculptor before you came into film. How many of the 22 are original to this project and how many did you save or take from other locations? Because this is kind of President Trump's dream. He's wanted to have an area that had kind of the statues of the heroes of this country. How many original and how many did you guys save from other areas?
- [41:58]
F
We saved just the Cesar Rodney statue and 21 of the statues are original. But what's really interesting is that we are using contemporary technology to make these statues. And so where it would take many years to make a statue, we can make statues, beautiful, high quality statues at a much quicker pace now. And so as statues are being torn down, they can be replaced. They can, we can make new statues. And so this isn't to inspire the country that we can once again build. We can build great things. We can build beautiful things. And that, that's what it should inspire people to do. Young people can do this. People can get involved. And so, you know, the, the horror we saw in 2020 can be reversed. And this is hopefully the first step towards doing that.
- [42:46]
A
Okay, we're going to see you tomorrow. What is your social media? Where can people go Send them to a site right now. They can get pretty prep for tomorrow because tomorrow is going to be a major part of our coverage. Sir, where do they go?
- [42:55]
F
I'm, I'm on Instagram M aortaylor. So please, is this where, where can they request.
- [43:04]
A
Where can they see go? Is there a site you have right now that have videos and photos of the, of the square?
- [43:10]
F
Currently, National Park Services has full bios on everything and there's more material coming out. We just, just launched a couple days ago and of course, we want to make sure we promote this but the National Park Service deserves a great deal of credit for the work they did in hosting all of these statues on their websites.
- [43:29]
A
They're amazing. Okay, brother, we'll see you tomorrow. The master.
- [43:33]
F
See you tomorrow. Thank you so much.
- [43:35]
A
Let's give a shout out to Vince Haley. Vince has been head of the Domestic Policy Council, I think really, I think one of the Newt's guys. But there did the been one of the major architects President Trump's speeches for since late 17, the Polish speech, one of his, some of the greatest speeches President Trump has given Vince Haley who has a very deep understanding of American history. Very involved. A short break. Back in the moment.
- [44:04]
C
July of 1776, King George III still towered over New York City. Not in person, in lead. At Bowling Green, near the tip of Manhattan stood a gilded 4,000 pound statue of King George on horseback, dressed like a Roman emperor. It had been erected just six years earlier as a monument to British power. But by the summer of 1776, Americans no longer saw majesty in this statue. They saw tyranny. On July 9, 1776, George Washington gathered his troops in New York and had the newly adopted Declaration of Independence read aloud. The words had barely settled before soldiers, sailors and patriots surged down Broadway to Bowling Green and toppled the King George statue. While the crowd saw tyranny toppled, Connecticut patriot Oliver Walcott saw bullets. 4,000 pounds of lead bullets for a continental army Walcott knew would be desperate for ammunition. So Walcott had the shattered pieces of King George loaded onto boats and shipped to Connecticut. From there, oxcarts hauled the remains of King George more than 60 miles over rough country roads to Walcott's home in Litchfield. And in the Walcott family orchard, a shed became a foundry. His wife Laura, his daughter Mary Ann and local neighbors worked over melting pots, pouring the King's lead into bullet mold. 42,088 musket balls in all. Some of those boats were fired two years later at the Battle of Monmouth, the brutal New Jersey showdown where Washington's army proved good stand in the open field against British regulars. You have to love the irony. Britain sent America a monument to empire. America sent it right back at muzzle velocity. So let's celebrate our nation's 250th birthday as we remember patriots like Oliver Wilcott who made it all possible. From the White House, I'm Peter Navarro.
- [46:36]
A
Now you know why I love Navarro. Gotta love that guy. That's the bantam rooster that never, never stops fighting. That's a magnificent little vignette. He told me the other day, he was going to do that, and I said, dude, let her rip. Fantastic. Peter. Bravo Zulu. Great job. This is the type of thing we're going to have over the next couple of days, so keep it right here. Real America's voice. Mike Lindell. Brother, tell me. I hear, and I kind of see that there's another poll out that has you separating now even farther from the field as people understand the message of the war room and backing Mike Lindell to be the next governor of the great state of Minnesota. Sir.
- [47:18]
G
Yeah, another poll came out on Friday. It'll be. I think they're putting it up on Monday, actually. But I've seen the early results, and we gained even another 2 percentage points on Lisa Daymoth. And with the president endorsement, it goes up by like 30. It's. But the guy that is pretty amazing to just keep going, gaining and gaining and gaining as we. As we're doing the biggest campaign, I believe, ever for a governor in history. We've just this weekend alone or the last few days, we put out over 2,000 yard signs. I know people say, well, what good are the yards? And people need to know that I'm running for governor. Minnesota. The Minnesota media keeps suppressing it. And one of the things is our voice. And I'll tell you, the war room. I know the president's called me the Patrick Henry of our lifetime before. And I said, you know, we're all Patrick Henry. The war room posse, you guys, we just keep, keep, keep getting our voice out there and getting heard. And right now, I believe, Steve, we have the biggest voice in the history of the world where all these social media platforms. You started it all with your great podcast here, a great show with the war room. And this is where it got everybody.
- [48:28]
A
Mike, Mike, Mike, hang on a second. As I said, when it came to the 16 campaign, we didn't have really money for a lot of tv. Yard signs are psychological warfare because yard signs are people making a statement. I'm with this guy. Yard signs are very, very, very powerful. The reason the consultants don't like it is they can't skim their 20% off of. Like they can do in the TV ads. I always prioritize yard signs. Yard signs show commitment. Yard signs show authenticity. People can look around and go, hey. And they said, those people are pretty good people. Look, they're back in Lindell. No, get your yard signs and get them out, man. That's a psyop coming, sir.
- [49:07]
G
Well, thank you. And we're getting upwards of 20,000 placed over the next two weeks, I'm delivering on myself. I'm helping my son and I going around the state. I want to encourage our volunteers to get out there and keep going. And we divided the state up into 67 districts, and we have ambassadors in every one of them and teams getting the churches involved. We got to win this. This is the most critical midterm election in our country's history and Minnesota's history. And we gotta bring hope. They said, I did a big call last night in a hailstorm, a zoom call to thousands of people. And I said, you know, this. What did. They said, well, what's the biggest message you wanna get out there? I wanna give a message of hope that we can win and we will win. And, you know, I'm always optimistic. But we've been given in Minnesota. We've been giving a blessing of the fraud. That fraud is the biggest blessing. It's a door we need to walk through and where you finally have something where everybody's waking. You need things like the 2020 election woke up the whole nation to the corruption and the uniparty and the CCP and the deep state globalists. So I'm really looking forward to really hitting into the campaign here with getting motivated with the grassroots and getting the word out.
