Foreign. Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. So you little gamblers, there you are making all your parlay bets with your apps and people aren't going to Vegas. It's very interesting. The occupancy rates for, for conventions and hotel rooms in Vegas have, have dropped. They've, they've taken a pretty serious dip over the last couple of years. They really peaked in 2019. Then of course the pandemic hit. They essentially shut all of Las Vegas down and it hasn't quite rebounded. But 2025 was kind of a dismal year for Sin City. So maybe with Trump's reelection people are like, I better get right with the Lord. I gotta stop boozing and gambling and going and seeing strippers and hookers. But I really think there is a correlation between the availability of legal online gambling and people getting their fix. Because either all they were jonesing for is a way to get some quick cash or the compulsive gambling has taken over enough of a chunk of society that, that they're out of money from DraftKings and now they don't have any scratch to go to Vegas. I know that's not you and I'm actually very excited because Freedom Fest this year is going back to Vegas. We were in Palm Springs last year. I will serve as your emcee once again. I'm so excited. And it is going to be a phenomenal collection of free thinkers, abstract livers, I guess that could be the organ and people who live non traditionally. And we're all going to come together, we're going to talk about ways to amplify freedom in our lives in this 250th anniversary of our nation's birth. It's going to be very exciting. So Freedom Fest is going back to Vegas, which is where it absolutely belongs. And the fact that occupancy rates aren't as high as they used to be is really good news for you because it means that it is going to be a lot more affordable to come to Freedom Fest to visit Vegas in July of this year. And you know, hell, why don't we just have a big group bachelorette party since I'm walking down the aisle a little later in the year. So Vegas is a multi tool player as far as I'm concerned. I remember going to Vegas when it was all like museums and kid friendly pools and there was a massive backlash and then it became super dirty and kind of fun. And of course they have lots of sports teams now and you could always see Your favorite bands and artists in residency. And I think what Vegas has needed, obviously we weren't there in 2025. It's Freedom Fest. It's back in action. And what does freedom mean to you? Does it mean drinking a yard long margarita in a bright neon thong bikini? You can do that walking down the sidewalk. You're not going to get arrested. I mean unless all of a sudden ICE goes to Vegas and you are a social justice warrior and you decide to take the law into your own hands, then you might get arrested and deported. But if you are there for independent thought, some scintillating conversations, big main stage interviews, the mock trial, people wearing tri point hats and you know someone's going to dress up like Thomas Jefferson, it's not going to be me. I'm not going to have my taxation is theft dress. But I will have a charming 250 bootylicious dress that I will be debuting at Freedom Fest. And that means that Vegas this year is going to be pretty awesome. So I say with Vegas what I've always said with bitcoin. Buy the dip. If Vegas is down a little bit, that just means there's more of it for for you to love. The city hasn't changed. It's like Ashley Tisdale's mom's group. Most people have just moved on. And that means there's more for you and I to love in in freedom and Matrimony with Elvis impersonators and God knows what creeping up and down the strip. But a lot of the action is going to be taking place inside Caesar's Forum. So I hope you're there. Don't go anywhere more Kennedy Saves the World right after this. This is Ainsley Earhart.
