Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the Brettwater Bowl Show. Great to be with
you all as we soldier on and look at all
the big stories that are out there, moving in real time.
I want you to think about our country and I
want you to understand why it is that it is
the greatest place in the world. It's not just to
honor a nation, but to make a case, a bold case,

(00:22):
one grounded in reason, reinforced by history, and of course
charged with hope. I believe that America is and must
remain the greatest place in the world. In America, freedom
isn't a luxury. It's a birthright. Our Constitution enshrines it,

(00:42):
our Bill of Rights guarantees it, and our culture cherishes it.
Where else can a person speak freely, worship freely, defend
themselves freely, and pursue their dreams without oppressive state control.
Freedom isn't just policy, its identity. With a GDP of

(01:03):
over twenty five trillion dollars, we don't just participate in
the global economy, we define it. We've pioneered the Internet, GPS,
our tech hubs like Silicon Valley and thousands of small
businesses are proof that we reward risk, nurture, creativity, and

(01:24):
let it run free. The American dream isn't a cliche,
it is measurable reality. Ninety percent of those born in
nineteen eighty out earned their parents by the time they
turned thirty. Where else does opportunity ring that loud. We're
a mosaic. Foreign Born citizens make up nearly fourteen percent

(01:48):
of our population, and they bring vitality, ideas, and drive.
We've endured wars, recessions, pandemics, the social unrest, but we
don't just survive. We adapt, We unite. We grow stronger
through strength and service. America leads with eight hundred and

(02:10):
seventy seven billion dollars being spent annually on defense. We
deter tyranny with fifty five billion in humanitarian aid. We
uplift the suffering, and with over a million international students
flocking to our universities every year, we shape tomorrow's thinkers.
And we have the strength enough to educate the haters

(02:34):
as much as the people who want to be American.
And let's not forget our soft power music movies brands.
They echo liberty across continents. America doesn't hide its flaws,
it fixes them. We abolished slavery, we expanded voting rights.
The anniversary is today. We passed the Civil Rights Act.

(02:57):
As I said, debate and reform our lifeblood where other
nations in Trench America evolves. And now to those who
challenge our greatness, Socialists, anarchists, niolists, and yes, those burdened
by mental health struggles, here's what I would say. Your

(03:17):
pain is real, Your concerns might be valid, but your
solutions they threaten the very fabric that makes this nation great. Socialism.
Look at Venezuela, innovation withers, poverty thrives anarchism. Look at
Somalia without governance, Chaos reigns. Neoism. It means denying all meaning.

(03:45):
But this nation is meaning. From moon landings to billion
dollar charity drives mental health despair. It demands empathy, treatment
and reintegration, not alienation. But folks, we can't be held back.
I've got seven ideas for renewal. Number one, teach civics boldly.

(04:08):
You know only forty seven percent of Americans can name
the three branches of government. Let's change that. Enlightened minds,
resist radical ideologies, Expand economic access, vocational training, stem education,
small business grants. When prosperity spreads, extremism shrinks. Build stronger communities, mentorships,

(04:35):
faith groups, volunteer networks. Those are the antidote to isolation
and ideological drift. We can invest in mental health. We
must identify support and care before despair becomes destruction. Create dialogue,
absolutely not echo chambers. Debate socialism versus capitalism. Question authority,

(05:03):
but back it up with facts, with truth, and with respect.
Celebrate achievements loudly. Let's launch a why America Works campaign.
Tell the stories of everyday heroes and enforce law with integrity.
When law is fair, authority is trusted, and when justice prevails,

(05:30):
anarchy loses its grip. So I ask you, in all sincerity,
not just as citizens, but the stewards of a legacy.
Are you ready? Will you pick up that mantle to
defend liberty with knowledge? Will you fight to spare with opportunity?
Will you meet division with unity? This is America. It's

(05:55):
not a perfect place, but a proven one. We should
ensure the next generation doesn't just inherit a great nation,
they build an even greater one seven O four five
