It was clear to me, and they were actually well-fingered, you could see some of the original owners, they spent a lot of time on this section.

The amount of time that people spent and actually wanted to celebrate the founding and the birth of the nation at the 150th birthday, or even at that time, I'm talking about 1903, it would shock the average young person, I think, today.

And that's really what depresses me, is we're gonna have gladiator fights like literal bread and circus.

And yeah.

Without the bread.

Without the bread, you're right, because everything is so ridiculously expensive.

Anybody else driving July 4th?

I'm excited to see how expensive gas is all the way up the I-95 corridor.

That's what, you know, kind of really sticks with me is the cultural reflection because this is who we are.

We are the UFC, right?

We are the UFC on the South Lawn.

We are in the social media era.

No reverence for education, for our founding, to even talk or to feel excited about where the nation is going.

The only thing I can console myself with is that's kind of how the bicentennial was too, 1976-1979.

You don't have to read a book to know it was a horrible year.

And there were a lot of same questions, I think, swirling in the air.

We got through it.

I'm sure we'll get through it now, but I think it's a genuine reflection of who we are.

I really do.

From the artists, to our culture, to the UFC, to Trump himself.
