Just finished taping my Real America's Voice TV show, America's

Speaker 3 (02:01):
So so three major runs of my show this weekend
ten pm East Coast on Saturday, and on Sunday three
pm and nine pm.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
All right, I wanted to make sure you all knew
about that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'll do that again in hour number two to make
sure everybody knows different time from my show on Real
America's Voice TV. I wanted to open the show today
with what I think is the number one story in America,
which is the fact that everything I feel is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
A It's like a Christmas greeting, you know. I'm giving
you a good.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Positive message for Christmas to start my show, because of
course next week is already Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
We're here, We're here. I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I love Christmas, and we're almost at it. The glass
is half fall, it's not half empty. I need you
to be patient and stop lift listening to the agents
of negativity. Okay, Tucker Carlson a negative. I'd like to
say the word on National TV, but I won't say it.
Cannas Owens a negative. I'd like to say the word
on National TV, but i won't say it. Marjorie Taylor
(03:05):
gree and a negative. Which these people are destroying, trying
to destroy our movement and our party when we have
a great president breaking us back to do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I agree with him ninety five percent at time. Five
percent I disagree. Who cares? I'm with him ninety five percent.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Ronald Reagan once said, if you agree seventy percent of time,
you're my friend, not my enemy. So let me give
you the list of what's going on. Stock market all
time highs, matter of fact, matter of fact, I'm gonna
take a look right now. I don't even know what
the market did today. I just know it's been at
all time highs for a couple of weeks. Now, let
me look right down. See if we had a good
day today, hopefully hopefully Yeah, yeah, we did up almost
(03:46):
two hundred points today. So stock market at all time highs, s,
and P at all time highs, NASDAK at all time highs,
gold at all time highs, Silver at all time highs.
I don't know what people want. Gas way down all
over this country. Gas way down below three dollars a gallon.
(04:06):
Wages way up. Wages have gone up compared to Biden.
Job growth looks mediocre. It's not mediocre because Trumps pulled
off a miracle. Remember that famous fairy tale with a
or a cartoon with the three bears. It's like, this
bear is this, and this bear is that, and this
bear is just perfect. This bear is perfect. Well, this
(04:29):
job's market is perfect because the reason that looks mediocre
is at real jobs. Private sector jobs that matter that
pay taxes into the system.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Are actually doing good. Not great, but good. They're positive.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
There's growth higher than experts predicted several months in a row.
They're growing. And illegal alian jobs are disappearing.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And government jobs that don't pay into the system. Government
jobs steal money from the system, pensions, Cadillac healthcare. They
pay way above what the average person makes in the
same job in the private sector. Government jobs are a
drain on the system. They're being killed. Trump's killing government jobs,
Trump's killing illegal alien jobs, and yet private sector jobs
(05:15):
are growing.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It's perfection. It's absolutely perfection.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And then next year, twenty twenty six, everybody gets.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
A massive bonus. They get either they get a.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Tax cut because Trump's big beautiful bill gave a lot
of people tax cuts, no tax in overtime, no tax
on so security, their version of new six thousand dollars
deduction for soial security. Hopefully everybody gets a two thousand
dollars tariff bonus and Supreme Court allows it.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That would be great too.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And then because Trump extended tax cuts, everybody gets a
tax refund and they're withholding whatever they withheld, they're gonna
get back like a thousand, two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I predict a.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Reagan like economic boom next year, prosperity and jobs and
rising wages for all and inflation dropping. And don't forget,
Trump's gonna give every new baby born one thousand dollars
savings account. I think that comes around July fourth. He's
gonna give a warrior bonus to the military almost two
thousand dollars. And then we haven't even gotten to the
fact that there's eighteen trillion dollars invested by foreign countries
(06:19):
in our economy.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
It's gonna start to hit.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Jobs will explode, assets will explode, stocks will explode, and
there's gonna be a new fed Share in early spring,
and maybe much sooner because the old fed share Powell jerme.
Powell is the biggest jerk that ever lived. He is
a jerk. Space He's off, if you.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
He will be gone, maybe even sooner. You may choose
to resign once he knows he's lame duck. And with
a new fed Share chosen by Trump, interest rates will
start to drop dramatically. And if the rumor is true,
and this is the rumor I hear, if Trump gives
like a property tax national holiday, meaning a twelve to
eighteen month window to sell your home and pay either
(07:04):
no capital gains tax or a dramatically reduced amount of
capital gains tax. Maybe you get two thirds off and
you only pay one third of your capital gain tax.
If you sell in that window twelve to eighteen months,
we will have a real estate explosion, a boom like
never before in history, with interest rates down and everybody
motivated to sell so they pay no capital gains on
(07:25):
their home. They've got to sell the next twelve months.
Then everybody's going to try and sell the next twelve
to eighteen months. And if all of this happens, as
I predict and expect, we will win the midterms.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
All people care about is their pocketbook.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Everything else is meaningless. Trump's doing a great job, but
all the other stuff. But right now they're upset. They
think inflation is still bad, they think things need to
get better. Well, guess what, we will win the midterms
because their pocketbooks will be healthy. God bless Trump, God
bless capitalism, God bless American exceptionalism. So you know, it's
in my opinion, we're headed for a great, great, great situation.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And just to.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Just to hit on it, I want to see I
had some article I just found that kind of backed
me up on that, but I got to find it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, here it is. Here it is. So there's new.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Pulling out and it signals serious trouble for Democrats in
the upcoming midterms.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right they think it's locked up, and it's certainly not
locked up.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
They're not winning this thing automatically, especially if we can
get any sort of voter integrity bills passed at the
United States Congress.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But that's a big question. But voters are.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Delivering Democrats in Congress a brutal verdict heading into the
twenty twenty six midterm cycle, with just eighteen percent approval
of their performance and is staggering seventy three percent disapproving,
the worst rating Quinnipiac has recorded since it began asking
these questions in history, literally since the day Quinnipiac asked
(08:59):
the quest question, do you approve or disapprove of Congress
or Republican Congress or Democrat Congress? This is the lowest
rating in history. Even Democrats themselves in open revolt. Forty
two percent of Democrat voters approve of their own parties
members in Congress forty two percent, forty eight percent disapprove,
(09:20):
and it was fifty eight percent to approve back in October.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So that means that the government shutdown killed the Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Among independents, things descend from terrible to apocalyptic. For the Democrats,
the gap between approval and disapproval is a huge sixty
one points, leaving Democrats literally universally despise despised among independent
demographic But the more shocking revelation came within their own
(09:49):
ranks for the first time in Quinnipiac's history, even Democrats
give Democrats a thumbs down. Support among party voters has
created twenty eight points since October, swinging from positive twenty
two to negative six in just two months. So as up,
(10:10):
what's the guy at CNN. His name is eating I
can't remember his first name, but I think it's Harry.
Harry Eaton at CNN. Is their data numbers cruncher? He says, Democrats,
in the minds of the American public are lower.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Than the dead sea.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And these, you know, CNN is the Democrat network, right
communist news network.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So I think.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
That this, you know, idea that Democrats are about to
win the midterm because always the party out of power
wins the midterm, and because Trump is so unpopular, I
think that whole idea is going down the drain. It
looks to me like we are the ones who have
a great chance to win the midterm. So so good
news there, good news there.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
News about the.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Idiocy of an insanity of people in America today. The
Rhode Island Attorney General says that the Brown University shooter
might have been making barking noises before opening fire. You know,
in a country where liberals encouraged children to think their cats,
(11:16):
or boys to think they're girls, girls to think they're boys,
anyone to think they're furry animals. This guy was barking
before he opened fire and killed innocent young people, and
it just goes to show you how insane liberals have
made our society. Just insanity barking. He was barking like
(11:37):
a dog, and then he killed nice people for no reason.
I'm way ala route, will be right back. Liberal insanity reigns.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right way down n Route.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Here with Alan Powiser, an advocate for Great Patriots Store
dot com. What a great company, great American company, an
alternative to wokenness, run by pro American conservatives, just voted
by USA Today as one of America's best stores in
twenty twenty five. I know we've got a slide up there, Allen,
that we could show everyone not only the product's exceptional,
(12:15):
but the prices are exceptional.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Absolutely, when for the last forty years our company has
focused on manufacturing exceptional products at reasonable prices right here
in the United States of America. We were just voted
America's most trusted brand because you can get everything that
you need from us at better pricing, more reliable, service
sent directly to your front doorstep.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Now, President Trump obviously doing a great job, but he's
being impacted by some things that were from the Biden administration,
like inflation.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
There's still rising prices.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
There's still companies like Procter, Gamble and Amazon talking about
increasing prices. Membership at Costco and Amazon continue to go up.
How does your products at Great Patriot Store compare to
other national.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Brands we're doing. We're a very very competitively priced. In fact,
if you take a look, we've got hundreds of products.
But if you just drill down our laundry detertion, it's
a staple for everybody. It's a patented product, and you
get ninety six loads of wash for nineteen dollars and
forty nine cents versus our competitor, it's.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Twice the price. Our competitors are twice.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
The price in almost all cases of all of our
consumer goods. And by the way, you mentioned Costco's membership increasing.
Our membership has been the same for forty years. It's
never gone up. And right now you can get a
membership for only one dollar for the entire year.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All right, My top reason for buying at Great Patriot
is the meat. I love the meat. I love the beef,
I love the sirloin, I love the hamburgers, I love
the hot dogs. It is fantastic, But I want you

company has sit wide. Number three you get one hundred

right away, and for a limited time, it's only one

Speaker 1 (14:44):
And beat inflation.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I knew I was looking for another story, Wayne Olroote
war Zone. I've looking for another story to back up
my contention that next year is gonna be a great year.
And it wasn't just you know, all the money that's
coming in from the tax cuts and the tax refunds
and the Warrior bonuses and the new Fed chief and
the eighteen trillion dollars to trickle down, but also Trump
(15:29):
strikes deals with nine more drug companies to drastically lower
drug prices for Americans. You wanted affordability, man, He's giving
you affordability.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Would you call it affordability?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Then everyone could sell their homes, That's the rumor I
hear he's gonna announce early next year that everyone's gonna
have like a one year window to sell your house
and pay no capital gains taxes. If that's the case,
this is gonna create the greatest real estate boom and
explosion in history. And then you wanted affordability, how about
Trump announced agreements with am Bristol, Meyers, Squibb, gene Tech,
(16:03):
Jilliad Sciences, merk Novartists, Safi. The deals follow those already
reached with Pfizer, Eli Lilly Novo, Nordist Astra Zenica, EMD Serrano.
This represents the greatest victory for patient affordability in the
history of American healthcare by far, and every single America
will benefit. Biggest thing to ever happen on drug pricing
(16:25):
and on healthcare. And the question becomes if liberals is
gonna go.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Oh, no big deal, We're not impressed. No big deal.
Stapleiss So I got it all right, no big deal.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Really, so why did you do it? Why did Joe
Biden do it? Why did Obama do it?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Obama in eight years to lower drug prices? He passed Obamacare,
which exploded.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Every price for everything, drugs, surgery, doctor visits, you name it, healthcare.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How about any hospital visit? How about any health.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Insurance drippled, quadrupleed. Why didn't he cut prices? None of
them cut prices. They cut deals with insurance companies to
make them rich and make you poor.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So great job, great job by President Trump. Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
That should add up to a really fantastic twenty six.
Also really good news. Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan, found guilty
of obstruction for helping illegal alien evade ICE agents, faces
five years in prison. Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, a jury
found a was constant judge accused of helping a Mexican
(17:35):
immigrant dodge federal authorities guilty of obstruction on Thursday. She
became angry this judge when she found out that ICE
agents were waiting outside of her courtroom to arrest Eduardo
Flores Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case.
She was overseeing allegedly directed Flores Ruiz. Now you don't
(17:57):
have to say allegedly, do you? She got found guilty.
She directed Floresurese to exit the courthouse through a private
jury door to evade arrest. She intentionally misdirected federal agents
away from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse,
and then she learned of ICE's presence, and angrily she
went outside, angrily confronted the ICE agents and then later
(18:22):
on Flooresis and his lawyer are seen sneaking out the
jury door so he could evade arrest. She found guilty
of a felony and faces up to five years in prison.
The question is, look, I feel great. I think that's
wonderful news. We need to do it to all these judges,
every one of them. That's aiding and abetting illegals. We
need to do it to all of them. But you
(18:43):
know what, I don't know if she's gonna get a
day in prison, because judges don't want to put judges.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
In prison, right, They're a little bit prejudiced.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
They're like, if I put that judge in prison, someday
could be me in prison. So I'll give her time served,
I'll give her probation, and that may be what we've said.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
See, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I hope she winds up to a hard time in prison.
She certainly deserves it. She certainly deserves it. Another story
that just came in brand new. US launches massive strike
on ISIS in Syria after American troops were killed in
a ambush. So we are now bombing ISIS in Syria.
Thank you, President Trump. Great job. Kill the bad guys,
(19:23):
kill the Islamic extremists, kill anyone that touches our soldiers,
and don't forget to bomb the drug traffickers coming from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
A great job, all right.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
As we say goodbye for this segment, when we come
back with a great guest, I mean a great guest.
I want to mention the sponsor of this show, Energized Health.
They've got an incredible program. I started five years ago
November of twenty twenty, changed my life, changed my career.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I lost twenty five pounds of fat.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
And gained ten pounds of muscle on only eighty eight
days to start the program. That's the only time you
have to work hard is the first eighty eight days,
and after that you just skate. Because now it's been
five years and I kept the weight off and I
kept the muscle on and there's no work involved, nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I gained energy, I gained health, I gained intercellular hydration,
got in the best shape in my life, gained four
new TV shows and podcasts past the age of sixty one.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Never happened in history. Look better now.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
At age sixty four, about to be sixty five. Then
I looked at age fifty. Put that picture on the screen,
me at age fifty and me and the gym at
age almost sixty five.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Fifteen years later, I have reversed age.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
The weirdest story in the week, by the way, before
I get to my wonderful guest. The National Transportation Board
says the pilot and the fatal North Carolina plane crash
that killed NASCAR's Greg Biffel not yet identified. But three
people aboard the Cessna were licensed pilots. Three three licensed
pilots and the plane crashed.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Does that make sense to anyone?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
You can't say that one guy had a heart attack
and the plane went down. No one knew how to
fly it. There were three licensed pilots on a Sessna.
Why would it go down? And everybody aboard is killed
and a NASCAR star's entire family wiped out.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Strange story, Strange story.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Let me mention the sponsor of this segment of the show,
Great Patriots Store, if you're sick and tired of supporting
world companies, I have great news for you.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Don't have to anymore. This is the answer to inflation.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Hundreds of household and personal products that you're already buying
at your local supermarketer in Amazon or Costco or Walmart.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Now you can buy online a Great Patriots.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
But their products are much less expensive, higher quality, made
with no toxic chemicals, all made in the USA, delivered
right to your door at a credible prices. Stop talking
about affordability. This is how you beat inflation. This is affordability.
Great Patriots Store is not a secret anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It must be good.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Two million members, over two million members and over twenty
thousand American families joining every month.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
You should too.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
And for me, the key is that they've expanded their
beef division. They've got their own amazing I think it's
a two hundred and three hundred thousand acre ranch and
they have their own beef, and they raise their cows
in a certain way, their cattle in a certain way
so that it's all pasture raised, no hormones, no antibotics,
no mRNA. Inexpensive, much less as an example in Omaha,
(23:48):
steaks much less expensive. But like Coscar or Sam's Club,
you need to become a member. And did I say,
by the way, that I love their steaks. They taste
better than any steak at any restaurant I go to.
Oh wait, go to Great Patriot Store dot com. Great
Patriotstore dot com.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Fhil that form.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
One of their team members will get right back to you,
and they're all conservatives and patriots. You'll enjoy talking to them.
In a matter of minutes, you're remember it's very inexpensive.
Got a great Patriots Store dot com. Great Patriot Store
dot com. All right, now, our guest is in the
house Mark Skousen, producer of the one and only Freedom
Fest every summer July twenty twenty six in Las Vegas.
(24:29):
Freedom Fest is the world's greatest libertarian event and freedom
loving event. People fly in usually about three thousand people
from all over the United States and all.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Over the world.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Mark is the author of the Greatest American Benjamin Franklin,
History's most versatile genius. And we've got him here today
to talk about his new book because I love history.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I love American history. There it is, there's the book.
There's Mark. Mark.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
You are descended from Benjamin Franklin, right, he's a relative.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
There was always a fan tradition on my mother's side
that we were somehow related to ben Franklin, and lo
and behold, after my wife and I did the genealogy
in Philadelphia, I'm a sixth generation grandson of Benjamin Franklin. However,
I've only inherited one trait. We're both left handed.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Well that makes three of us because I'm left handed too,
but my parents switched me after birth.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
When they saw that I.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Was left handed, they made me over the next few
years do it right handed, which they say screws all
people's mind, which explains everything about me.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
So tell us about it.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
So, Wayne Rhode, it's a transgender. I'm sean.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
That's exactly right. I'm a trans lefty, righty. Tell us
about your new book, The Greatest American Benjamin Franklin, History's
most versatile genius.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
What makes him the most versatile genius? I think I know.
Wait a minute, teacher, teacher, let me raise my hand.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
From what I remember from history about Benjamin Franklin is
he was, you know, they say, a master of none,
but a guy who's good at everything.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
He was a master of everything. He was amazing. He
was just great at everything. Am I on the right trail?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
You know.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
In my book, I came up with twenty two careers
that he you know, he was a printer and a publisher,
and he was a legislator, and he was an inventor
and a scientist and a diplomat. He had all of
these traits, and I came up with twenty two careers.
But what's different from my book, because there's lots of
biographies of bench from Franklin by Walter Isaacson and HL
(26:32):
Brands and many others. But what my book is different
is that it is eighty chapters on how to apply
Franklin to today's hot topics of investing, of business, of diplomacy.
You know, just the other day, since you're a big
fan of Donald Trump, he actually had the famous who
(26:54):
Don bust of Ben Franklin in the Oval Office, and
I think he was channeling Ben Franklin's diplomatic skills. The
world's greatest diplomat according to Ken Burns, and you know,
Trump needs needs that kind of diplomacy to deal with
with guys like Putin the trade war and trying to
(27:15):
get fair trade. There's lots of things that you could
learn from Ben Franklin. But he did do one thing
that I really emphasized in my book, The Greatest American,
and that was he made the decision to never criticize
his enemies in public. So that's something that Trump could
learn from.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, Trump's definitely the opposite of that one, that's for sure.
You know, I think you know, I visited the Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I had my first Oval offs visit ever back about
two months Ago, and I saw the bust of Abraham Lincoln,
and I saw the bust of Winston Churchill, and I
must have missed Abraham Lincoln. You say, that's in the
Oval office as well.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
The bust of Benjamin Franklin.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
And I think he just brought it in specifically to
as kind of a way to channel Franklin's unique ability
of diplomacy.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
You know, he he was personally responsible.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
I have a whole chapter on his diplomacy and his
ability to raise all the money from the French and
the ammunitions sending generals over there, and without the French health,
the war would have lasted another ten years. So Franklin,
I mean President Trump, I think, was, you know, subconsciously
(28:29):
channeling Ben Franklin's ability to be a great diplomat.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, I love what you do with your book. I'm
gonna do a quick shameless plug. You know.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I wrote the book Trump Rules, and I thought what
made it special was lots of people have written books
about Donald.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Trump and what makes him tick.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
But for every single one of the rules in my book,
I've got ten major rules, and then I've got like
twenty minor rules that Trump that make Trump successful. I
show you how to apply them in the real world.
How do you how to become your own little mini
Donald Trump? And I show how it worked for me
in my own world. You know, I became a self
made millionaire at the age of twenty seven, and I
(29:06):
was shot channeling Trump from the day I turned eighteen
years old as a freshman at Columbia University. I decided
he would be my mentor and I would watch everything
he did and.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Try and model Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
By the time I was twenty seven, self made millionaire
with a house on the beach in Malibu. So you know,
I think you did the same thing I did, channeling
Ben Franklin and showing anybody else.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
How to do it as well.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I think that's a great idea, Mark, and that makes
me want to buy your book because I want to
see how I can apply Benjamin Franklin's brilliant genius to
all the things that I do in my life. So brilliant,
brilliant idea. Talk about taxes and inflation. How did he
think about tax inflation and how would he tackle them today?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Well, one of the things that Franklin said was an
industrious and virtuous people may be cheaply governed, and he's
he was a firm believer in lays fair of limited government,
low taxes. He was one who believed, he said, the
system of America is commerce with all and war with none,
(30:10):
and so he believed that government could operate on a
fairly small budget. He would be certainly a palled you know,
Franklin was an optimist. He was very optimistic about the
greatness of America. And he would be so impressed with
the advances in technology.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
He'd be the first one on a cell phone.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And apalled by the spending of debt new technology.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
He'd be appalled the debt, appalled.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
By the he would be appalled by the size and
scope of government today and high levels of taxation.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
For sure, he'd like to see that being reduced.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
As smart as Benjamin was, I don't even know if
he could tackle that. You know, people say to me,
they can think of many great things Trump's done. A
lot of people love him, but they still think he's
done nothing as far as spending and debt. And I
keep saying to them, you don't understand. There's nothing any
one seems.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
To be able to do.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Because the minute you try and cut a dollar from
one program. There's one hundred thousand people in the media
complaining that they're gonna die. Babies will die, children will die,
adults will starve to death.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You're the meanest person in the world.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Well, if you can't cut a dollar off any one program,
how do you ever cut collectively.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Trillions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Every congressman fights for every dollar in their district, and
they only get reelected if they spend money, not if
they save money. So the system is set up that
there's really nothing Trump, where any present could ever do
to cut runaway spending and dead It seems to me thoughts.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Well, you know the thing is, you know, you have
to remember that one of the best chapters I have
in my book, The Greatest America is the chapter on economy,
and Franklin said, there's much revenue in economy, and no revenue.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Is sufficient without it. So that's something that needs to
be learned.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
And also, you know, you have a Franklin saying that
we can never be independent as a nation, and Trump
is always trying to be independent in so many ways
and making America independent of foreigners and all that sort
of thing. We can never be independent if we don't
discharge our public debt.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
And I don't think he means eliminating.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
It because the treasury, the security market provides tremendous liquidity
around the world. But when you get excessive government spending
and growth, then there's just there's nothing left for the
private sector. We need to have a proper balance. And
that's what Franklin's about. And I will mention one other
thing about my book, The Greatest American, Why it's unique.
(32:49):
Franklin changed his mind frequently. He was a British loyalist
and then at age seventy, became a rebel and a
believer in democratic in democracy and democratic republic. He switched
from being a pro slavery man to be an abolitionist.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
See you've got to be open mind what you're saying.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Became anti inflation, and finally, Wayne the other thing he
came Mark.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Hold on hunt hold that thought. We're going to a
quick break. I want you to come back and talk
about Freedom Fest anyway, So hold that thought. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
We'll be right back with Mark Skausen, author of the
Greatest American.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Benjamin Franklin. All right, a special treat for you.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
I want to introduce you to a real hero of
the American energy industry, A legend. Mark Brunner, founder and
CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas in the United States.
Lost Soldier is the last major BCGA basin centered gas accumulation.
This is code for a monster field where gas or
(33:55):
oil is in a basin.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Which makes the drilling and production much easier. Mark, you're a.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Legend in the oil industry, in the gas industry.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Tell us about your track record.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Well, I'm a second generation oil and gas guy. My
father in the early nineteen fifties started a company called
tech Star. It later became Texas Oil and Gas. When
it sold out to US Steel, it was the largest
independent in the world. Dell High Pipelines was the largest
gas distribution system in the United States when it sold
out to a US steal. I worked with him for
(34:26):
four years. I've been in the oil and gas z
ever since. You would probably know me better as this
chairman of Ultra Petroleum, and Ultra had a pretty good
track record, which you're very familiar with.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I think, well, I think ten thousand dollars investor in
Ultra turned it into thirteen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
In the nine year run of your publicly traded company.
Speaker 8 (34:49):
Yeah at the high that's true.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Ten thousand dollars turned into thirteen million. That means one
hundred thousand dollars turned into one hundred and thirty million.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
That's an incredible track record. Now tell me.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Why this deal lost Soldier. This project is so special.
I hear about projects and deals all the time. What
makes this one special?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (35:08):
What's special about this is all the other basins of
the United States have been drilled. We've known for fifty
years what they are. This one could not be drilled
because there was a uranium mine out here. Until it
was reclimated three years ago. No one could drill it.
This is surrounded by large oil and gas fields with
billions of dollars of infrastructure that at this point eighty
(35:29):
five percent empty. So we made this discovery. We are
the only operator in this field, and right now we
can see that we've got enough room for five hundred
horizontal wells out here with what we drilled so far.
Very exciting. It's the new basin in the United States,
and as far as I'm concerned, this is an order
of a magnitude bigger than Ultra Petroleum, the one that
(35:51):
I did.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
All right.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
The website is Lost Soldier dot com.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Pretty simple stuff. Lost Soldier dot com.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
The project forty thousand acres took forty years to piece together.
It's called Lost Soldier Oil and Gas LLC. That's the
company that's the project. But the website Lost Soldier dot com.
If you're an a credit investor, Mark wants to hear
from you. If you want to hear more information, check
it out. Fill out the form and you get the
Lost Soldier. Mark and his people will get back to
(36:19):
you as CFO and let you know all the details
you need to know. Lost Soldier dot com. Thanks Mark
for being with us today.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Thank you Wayne, good to see you again.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
All right, Wayne, Allen Root the root, the root, The
Root's on fire.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
I just sent a note actually to President Trump because Patar,
my director, just gave me some really great information. I
did not know that when he bombs those those drug
boats with those drug traffickers coming from Venezuela and International water,
he always talks about how many lives he saved, which
is great, but he doesn't talk about how much money
the drugs are worth on each boat. And Patar says
(37:12):
he just foud out each boat is carrying thirty to
fifty million dollars worth of fentanyl and other hard drugs
or other hard drugs, cocaine, heroin, whatever. They're carrying thirty
to fifty million on each boat. I think the American
people would like to hear that. I think that's an
important number. Every time you blow up one of those
boats and kill, you know, the drug traffickers aboard the boat,
(37:33):
You're not only saving lives, but they were willing to
kill our American children so they could make thirty to
fifty million on each boatload of drugs, and we blew
it out of the water.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
That's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
So I sent a text just now to President Trump's
cell phone to let him know that, Thank you, patar
that was a good stat.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Good stat.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Let's get back with Mark Scausen, producer of Freedom Fest,
July twenty twenty six in Las Vegas. Freedomfest dot com
is where you find it. It's the world's greatest show
on Earth for libertarians and people believe in freedom and liberty,
and that includes Republicans and conservatives and maga.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Patriots of all stripes.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
He's the author of the Greatest American Benjamin Franklin history's
most versatile genius. And before we get back to the book,
let's really delve into Freedom Fest. For the people watching
right now, Freedomfest dot com, Freedomfest dot com.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Why do they want to go to Freedom Fest?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
What are they going to see at the world's greatest
liberty show.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
We've been doing this for over a dozen years, and
of course, Wayne, you have been a one of our
keynote speakers. We're always grateful for having you. We bring
together the best and the brightest from all around the world.
Steve Forbes, John mackiew of Whole Foods Markets.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
We've had iced Tea there.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
We've had Kennedy as our moderator from Fox News for
many years. I mean, the list goes on and on
up the famous people. Well, we've had Kevin O'Leary of
Shark Tank, Micro, Donald.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Trumps, Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
We had Donald Trump ten years ago when he was
running for president, and that was at seven eleven in Vegas,
and it was a turnaround for his campaign. So we're
taking full credit or blamed for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Seven eleven twenty five, seven eleven fifteen, that's when he came.
July eleven, twenty fifteen. Boy, that was at a lifetime ago.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
You know.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
I don't know if you know this, but I was
at the White House Christmas party on Monday this past Monday,
and Trump introduced me to the crowd. He's never done
that before at the White House, and he said, Wayne's
been with me from the first day, even before the
first day, and I will never forget you. And that's
really true, because I was encouraging him to run for
president in April of twenty fifteen, and in May he
(39:51):
said to me, I've got a big announcement I'm about
to make.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
You're gonna get very excited, Wayne.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
And then on June fifteenth, twenty fifteen, he announced for
president United States. And then in July he was at
Free and from there everything took off.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
So great stuff.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
So and by the way, you say, I've had a
big part of it, my role lately has been the
last five times in a row, I love to be
the guy in the big debate at Freedom.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Fest in front of the whole crowd. So let's do
that again this year.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Let's come up with a great topic after Christmas, after
New Year's Lets you and I put our heads together
in January February come up with a great debate topic,
and let's plan who I could debate, because I think
that'd be a lot of fun and we can really
enjoy ourselves and the crowd would love it.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
At Freedom Fest again.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Wayne, we have that's what Freedom Fest is famous for.
We even had Paul Krugman and Steve Moore debate and
it's been hilarious and we would love to have you
back and involved in a debate this year. We are
calling next year's Freedom Fest the World's Fair of Liberty,
So we're inviting people from all over the world to
(40:55):
come to the World's Fair in Las Vegas and we're
going to celebrate liberty. So it's really going to be
an exciting conference and I hope people can can join us.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
I'll be there. I'll be signing my book.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
And I understand Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and George
Washington are all planning to show up at Freedom Fest
next July.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
And you're gonna be Ben frank You're gonna be exciting.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
You look just like Ben Franklin when you're dressed. Is
Ben Franklin. You can't even tell it's not Ben Franklin.
It's eerie how much you look like Benjamin Franklin, very
very interesting.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
Yeah, well, after that many generations, you'd think that I
would inherit some of his looks. Actually, my mother looked
more like Ben Franklin than I do, because I have
a little bit of the droopy nose which Franklin did
not have. But you know, I've played Franklin a number
of times, and I will be playing him again, and
hopefully I'm hoping to play Ben Franklin at the White
(41:49):
House someday with your help.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
So I'll see what happens in that regard.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
You know, the big event is coming up, the celebration
of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United
States of America from seventeen six to twenty twenty six,
and Trump's going to be having a big event at.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
The White House, so we shall see.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
It's funny you mentioned the World's Fair, because that's one
of my earliest memories that's still alive in my mind.
I was born in nineteen sixty one in New York
and we had the World's Fair, I believe in sixty
four in New York, right, and I remember going to
the World's Fair.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I still remember it. I still remember the little cars.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
They had a display with little cars that were running
around this city and I was fascinated by it.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I was three or four years old, whatever it was
at that point.
Speaker 7 (42:30):
Well, we're really excited about Freedom Fest this year, the
world's fair of liberty, and we're going to have pavilions
