It feels so good to be back at my own desk, had a few weeks off over the summer there.

I went to Freedom Fest.

I really want to thank Tracy Beans and Jeffrey Jackson for holding the fort down.

Last week I was still running around dealing

with some other issues around the country,

but I'm so excited to be back

and it feels like the whole time I was gone things just went absolutely

haywire we're gonna talk about that all the way through the show but first I just

want to reflect the last time I was at the desk that you saw we were at Freedom

Fest which was really a celebration of liberty and you know getting outside of

party partisan thinking and looking at the future of the nation.

That's what that, you know, that festival's all about.

So it's amazing, all walks of life coming together.

I always joke, you know, if I was going to make a

poster for Freedom Fest it probably have you know some you know weed smoking guy in

a tie-died shirt and dreadlocks with a joint hanging out of his mouth

standing across from like a you know a cowboy with a big buckle in a 10-gallon hat

and it would say something like,

I won't touch your weed if you lay off my guns,

deal.

It's all about freedom there, and it brings all walks of life

in all kinds of freedom, and it looks something like this.
