They are on Fox News.
and they thought they were going to have this massive crowd behind them,
and there's just absolutely nobody behind them while they break this news.
Connecticut and Maine are sharing a space and basically just put up some chairs and their state logos.
Brah! What did Connecticut and Maine do to deserve this? What?
All right, everybody, I just learned the truth about Trump's 16-day America 250 celebration,
and it is way more tragic and depressing than anybody could have guessed.
This is not at all what it was supposed to look like.
This empty shell of a fair is not at all what was supposed to be presented to the American people.
For years, almost a decade, there were genuine planners who were envisioning America's 250th anniversary
as something on the scale of a modern world's fair, a month-long celebration nationally showcasing every single corner of the country.
It has since been hijacked and perverted into this campaign rally where Trump puts his thumb on the scale and has people that he like, has campaign rallies, and basically controls a lot of this, which means it turned to shit.
Almost everything Trump touches turns to shit.
I made a deeper video earlier about the World Fair happening today, but this one is going to go a little bit more in depth on the secret behind this fair and the corruption that actually exists behind it.
So check out that video.
It was a rather funny one.
We walked through a bunch of crazy shit happening, but this video is going to be a bit more serious.
On screen now, you see the turnout for the fair on day three, and it does not look good at all.
If you appreciate these videos where we bring the truth to you and the American people, make sure you drop a like, make sure you subscribe.
And I guess let's just start off by showcasing the British experience in the United States.
This UK reporter went to the fair, and I think this is a perfect encapsulation, because you get to see it through fresh eyes and just how bizarre it is.
From there, we will jump into the corruption aspect of it and how Donald Trump hijacked this event from a serious group, a very serious group, and then recreated his own shitty version.
It is so incredibly despicable.
And the Freedom 250 was not what this was supposed to be at all.
There was something called America 250 that Trump then hijacked into Freedom 250.
Take a look at this.
At the great American state fair in Washington, D.C., or as people are starting to call it, the American Scottish Willie Washington.
bunker experience.
But we're going to have special performances, patriotic music, high-tech demonstrations,
and even an old-fashioned rodeo.
I love rodeo.
It's the end of it.
One of the headline events announced by Donald Trump's 250th Anniversary Committee
with the Great American State Fair.
It's to take place here on the National Mall.
It's two weeks and it's a celebration of all things American with stands representing all
50 states, a 100 foot tall Ferris wheel and a rodeo.
And I really wanted to love this event.
It's right up my alley, but it's kind of rubbish.
In fact, it's a bit like the Scottish Willy Wonka experience, but on a larger scale.
And when I say larger scale, it's stretched over three fields the size of this one.
If you wanted to visit the stands of all 50 states, you'd have to walk about three miles.
Each state has got its own little room, which is mercifully air-conditioned.
But the quality of the exhibits is somewhat inconsistent.
Wyoming gets a shout-out because they let you try lassoing chatt.
chairs with horns on them. On the other hand, a lot of the booths are just rooms with a couple of posters and some chairs.
What did Maine do? What did Maine do to deserve simply two chairs and nothing else?
Lucky. Every government department has its own booth as well. And let me tell you, the Homeland Security booth is a barrel of laughs.
At the end of each field, there's a big exhibition. But there's no particular theme to any of it. It's just, you know, whoever they could get to turn up.
Look how shallow this is. It's like the shell of a fair. It's a shell of a fair. It's not real. There's no real turn-out.
There were power outages on the first few nights of the fair, meaning the Ferris wheel wasn't working on Thursday nights.
There's nowhere to sit for children, so they have to sit on the ground when eating.
And when they do eat, food is like $20 to $30 just to get anything.
The hamburgers there are over $20.
And all of that is without mentioning that it's not even really a fair.
There's no fair food.
Apparently, there's just burgers that you can grab.
There's even a section where you can get baptized.
There's a section where you can listen to bad music.
by an artist who only ever paints the American flag
and he's come to do a live painting of a new work of art
of the American flag
if you go right up to the other end which is a fair old walk
there's a place where there's a booth from Truth Social
SpaceX and TikTok right next to each other
and there are a few cool things to see don't get me wrong
it's just that they're very very far apart
there's a sort of middle bit as well
where most of the stands are from the weird organisations
you only normally see it at conferences like CPAC
Mom's for America was somehow there. Okay. We'll revisit this in just one moment, but I think that gives you some perspective into what the fair is. Now I want to talk about what the fair could be. This Reddit comment written by somebody anonymously has gone incredibly viral and I think it's worth highlighting. This says, quote, I worked out the Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month.
long folk life festival on the mall. The Festival of Festivals was going to feature well-known
festivals like Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Opry, as well as smaller local and regional festivals
from across the U.S. and territories. Already, this sounds amazing, but this was going to be hosted
by an existing bipartisan group called America 250. The existing America 250 group was created
by Congress years prior, and had already fundraised a bunch of money.
But then Donald Trump decided to subvert America 250 and create his own, which was called Freedom 250.
He used Freedom 250 and the money raised there to put on his own 16-day campaign rally and then denied the permits for America 250, the bipartisan group, to do what they wanted to do.
Investigations have found that roughly $100 million in federal contracts and grants tied to America's 250th anniversary flowed through organizations,
that were connected to admin officials and political allies.
There were a bunch of no-bid contracts,
meaning Trump wasn't going out looking for the best contractors to do these things.
He was going out looking for his friends to funnel money into
to build this 16-day rally for him,
which nobody has showed up to thus far on day three.
It's going to go through the 4th of July,
so we're thinking about doing a live stream there with Machler Media,
where we interview people, debate people,
and we go on the ground with a live stream and show you everything.
I might bring Chris, if you guys want to see that, then drop a like and just comment below.
If there's a demand for that, then we're going to do that, maybe on July 4th and give you an inside experience.
So people say that this vision is collapsed.
And I think even the people over at Fox News know that it has collapsed.
Just look at their coverage of it, trying to describe this as thousands and thousands of people,
which is honestly quite a small number.
Most concerts pull more than that.
Pride parades, pride rallies in my state of Illinois and across the country are pulling more than that this weekend.
Happy early birthday America. We're celebrating already at the great American State Fair.
Man, we've got thousands of people celebrating this birthday with it.
I like I always said it like that. We've got thousands.
Like that's going to make it more impressive.
Tommy, you and I had to...
With the empty field behind them, Fox News set up their desk and there's just an empty field behind them.
Chance to go out. We got to see some of the exhibits.
I'm sure you got what I got, which was a lot of people going, hey, love to watch it on Fox.
I hope a lot of them left them all, went home and turned on their TV.
Okay.
I want to talk more about the vision behind why this secret was ruined in the first place.
This right here is the secret of what America 250 could have been.
So they were going to be a bunch of really beautiful, recognizable festivals.
You guys know Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Opry, even more, combined together as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories.
Anyone know the Iowa State Fair, the Minnesota State Fair, these things are huge cultural phenoms in these states,
and people come from other states, so imagine combining it all.
The goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression
in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community.
This was what it was supposed to be.
This is the secret behind why the vision has collapsed so thoroughly
after Donald Trump took control of it, just like it does for everything else.
Donald Trump took control of the country, and it has collapsed.
The economy sucks.
We are currently stuck in a war with Iran due to our supposed ally of Israel,
and everybody is struggling.
He took control of the reflecting pool.
It is an absolute failure.
Everything he touches dies.
This says, can't name names, but the plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.
Think the types of people, sorry, think the types of names who would have been affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals.
Stars were willing to perform because it was under the banner of Smithsonian.
It was history.
I've said this repeatedly on my show.
I am never going to inherently be against an America 250 celebration.
I know Adam Kinsinger, who is a pro-democracy warrior, who served in the military, said he was looking forward to this.
He wanted to see something.
But what I'm not going to appreciate is a 16-day Donald Trump rally.
If there was this huge festival that was what's being described here, and we had like Beyonce and Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen,
and we had all of these, you know, phenomenal artists with phenomenal arts and craft traditions, dance, that would be different.
But this has turned into a hollowed out version of that to continue.
stars were willing to perform because it was under the banner of Smithsonian.
It had to all be scrapped because the administration would not release permits to host on the mall.
The administration shut it down, stole the permits to host at the National Mall, and did it themselves, and did a significantly worse version.
Just imagine what could have been instead of this.
Every state bringing its own food, bringing its own music, bringing its own inventions, artists, museums, traditions.
I'm going to show you one second in just one second what was actually in each state's
booth. We're going to run through them. But it's not at all what could have been. It says the money
went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation
cultural moment. That would have been incredibly, incredibly cool to see. Instead, we have North
Carolina with a Confederate flag.
There's one Confederate flag, and then, oh, there's two Confederate flags.
You know, when I think of America, and when I think of the celebration of America,
I don't think of celebrating the, quote-unquote, country that seceded in order to declare war on America.
Is that not just traitorous? It's incredibly traitorous.
Let's see what's actually in these boots.
Eric Flack TV did a pretty good report here. Check it out.
President Trump wants all 50 states to come together here at
the great American state fair to show their pride.
North Carolina planned to skip this,
but the Freedom 250 organizers asked the Winston-Salem company
that built their tractor trailers to step in.
Their exhibit is a race car and some North Carolina potatoes.
He missed the Confederate flag that was there, but we'll continue.
Arizona had the longest line to get in for a black light star experience
and a free cactus pen.
Maryland is featuring a different local artist every day and a photo booth to go back in time.
DC has a positivity tree.
Virginia has a photo.
Is that just an AI generated photo booth?
Is it just AI slot?
What is Maryland State Fair about this?
D.C. has a positivity tree.
Virginia has a photo op with letters made out of stuff that grows there.
Connecticut and Maine are sharing a space and basically just put up some chairs and
and their state logos.
Brah, what did Connecticut and Maine do to deserve this?
What?
Connecticut and Maine are sharing a space
and basically just put up some chairs
and their state logos.
Michigan has a fake cow you can milk.
Wisconsin has a real Harley you can sit on
and this guy definitely wins for best T-Shash.
Okay, that gives us a little bit of an insight
into what's actually happening here.
You know, for many Americans,
the anniversary of 250 represented a rare opportunity
to celebrate the country's,
future, what the country could be, bring people together at a time when we're uniquely divided,
but instead, Donald Trump decided to make this an incredibly divisive, like 16-day campaign
rally. It was supposed to be a bipartisan event. It was supposed to be once-in-a-generation event
that was funded by bipartisan groups to put on something beautiful, spectacular, grandiose.
And now, what do we have? We have this. We have basically an empty fair. Look it. There's like,
there's some scattered people around there going to the different booths, but this is nothing
like what it was going to be. Governor Newsom's press account said, breaking, the DC police is
investigating a massive heist at the National State Fair. Vandals managed to get inside and steal
practically every person, practically every person. He's making fun of the Trump reflecting
pool. They're saying vandalizers tried to slit a gash in it and poured chemicals when in reality
just naturally grew. Governor Newsom here is making fun of the fact that there is absolutely
nobody in the crowd. I do want to point out while all of this was happening, the reporters at Fox News
who are covering the state fair, then had, sorry, the national fair, then had to break the news
with Representative Anna Pauline Luna that there were more strikes in Iran. So we're doing this
shitty, wannabe, grandiose national fair spending a bunch of taxpayer dollars on it.
And then in return, we get to continue to escalate our war with Iran.
Take a listen to this.
What I will say is that if people would just allow the president to go forward with his foreign policy, including the trade stuff, I think that we're in pretty good shape.
But again, my number one-
Dude, I like how on Fox News.
You can see how scarce the crowd is.
Look at this.
They're on Fox News and they thought they were going to have this massive crowd behind them.
And there's just absolutely nobody behind them while they break this news.
If people would just allow the president to go forward with his foreign policy, including the trade stuff,
I think that we're in pretty good shape.
But again, my number one gold objective here is voter ID plus proof of citizenship.
You have Chuck Schumer literally telling the entire country they want to give mass amnesty and citizenship to over 20 million illegal immigrants.
Look, you and me, you and me, we're women, you know, I'm a veteran and I'm also a minority.
I'm not stupid and I can figure out how to, you know, provide proof of citizenship.
Okay, this is all just a lie.
But I feel like sitting there on Fox News and attacking immigration, attacking democracy,
attacking some of the foundational aspects of America, while you have the banner, America 250 in
front of you, is just very hypocritical.
At the same time, Fox News had to report on the new airstrikes that we have conducted against Iran.
I just spoke to a senior U.S. defense official who tells me that, who confirms to me
that the U.S. military is carrying out a new round of airstrikes against Iran right now.
this is in response to the IRGC hitting a ship in the Strait of Hormuz earlier today.
It was about 4.30 a.m. when that ship was hit near the Strait of Hormuz.
That's the second ship in two days, and this is the second night of bombing that the U.S. military is carrying out.
Obviously, Fox News is going to be missing the context, that the ceasefire was already broken by Israel when they continued to invade southern Lebanon, continue to strike Beirut,
And it was broken by the United States when Trump threatened Iran and when Trump was unsuccessful in reeling in BB Netanyahu.
Targets include air defense systems, drone storage sites, cruise missiles, targeting radars and mine laying capabilities, as well as surface to air missiles.
That's according to a U.S. official.
I'm told that this strike is much larger than last night, which lasted for about an hour.
Iran, I'm told, had a chance to stop shooting.
This official said they didn't take it.
Instead, they attacked another ship in the Strait of Hormuz this morning, the M.T. Kiku.
That's the name of the ship.
That ship was carrying about 200,000 barrels of oil, and so it could have...
Right now, there is zero political incentive for Iran to stop shooting.
People on Fox News would call me anti-American for telling you guys the truth there,
But as I always say on this feed, I'm telling the truth because I love America.
I love what America could be, and I see this administration pulling us away from that.
Every single time they host a shitty fair and eff things up and distort and bastardize what the celebration of America really should be,
which is democracy, human dignity, the ever-expanding circle of rights that we continue to impose in America.
But you know what Republicans do?
They want to repeal rights.
They want to take away the right of women to choose.
They want to take away the right of minorities to vote in red states, as they are due.
with overturning the Voting Rights Act and then overturning a bunch of other laws that allows
elections to be further at rate.
That is so incredibly despicable.
And while this is all happening, again, I want to point out that Iran war is continuing to escalate.
Even on Fox News, they say this is an escalatory spiral.
It's been a disaster in the Strait of Hormuz's a very dangerous situation.
These are attack drones, one-way attack drones that Iran and the IRC have been ascending towards
these ships.
I also learned that Iran last night responded to the first round of U.S. air strikes, that one hour of air strikes with attacks of their own on U.S. forces at Bahrain.
So it is all just escalating over and over and over.
I was going to make an entire video about this, but I've made about like 50 videos at this point where I just say,
hey, the ceasefire Trump claims we have has now been broken.
And at this point, everybody understands we are being dogwalked by Iran and cannot find an off ramp while they continue to squeeze concessions.
