Josh Krashauer coming up in 15 minutes. But right now, I want to bring in Rachel Campo-Suffi, Boxing Friends Weekend co-host, filling in for Ainsley today and tomorrow.

And she has this great book out: American Patriotism, Celebrating 250 Years of American Greatness, which is going to pick up steam leading up to the 4th of July. Rachel, who did you dedicate this book to?

Well, before I tell you that, can I tell you one little thing? Yes. You and I spent three hours on the couch. I left the studio. I jumped in my car to come home because I'm having a break before I go and do the five.

I'm hosting the five tonight. I jump in the car. My husband Sean gives me a call and he says. I watched you today at the top of the eight. And I'm sorry, honey.

Brian and Lawrence are totally right. You're wrong. Really? About Amazon? Yes.

He's like, I get what you're trying to say, but like, no. Wait a second. That took a lot of guts for him to say that. And by the way, I didn't put him up to that.

So, what you were saying is, well, I want to go over that too, but just real first, just in answer to my question, you dedicate to the president of the United States, right? I did. I did. So, I dedicated to the president. It said, I dedicate this to the man who's taught us all how to love, serve, and fight, fight, fight for America.

And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I think he's changed politics, he's changed conservative, you know, the conservative party, the GOP. I think. Maybe forever. And so I just, I really love him.

I think he loves America. And I think this book is about American dreams. He sort of has an amazing personal life story, but everything he does is he really wants to help America and make it better and make it great. And so I thought, this is the guy I want to dedicate it to. And I did.

I went to the Oval Office last week and I presented it to him. And did he say to you it goes going to go into his library? Yes, you know, he said he loved the book. He actually did a little video, which I'm going to post here soon, and said, go out and buy the book. He loved it.

And he loves everybody at our network. He loves so many of the hosts. And as you know, each chapter is another chapter by, you know, you have a chapter, Lawrence has a chapter, Ainsley has a chapter, Charlie Griff, so many people in our Fox family, and they all have a different American dream story. And that's what we're trying to promote. It's America 250.

Right. I mean, think about it. If even if you're listening in our country and are not impressed with our country, or if you're listening in Canada or listening around the country or around the world. There's only one country people are trying to desperately try to get in.

So why would people try to come here if it was so bad? And the problem we have is people born here can't appreciate what they've always had. That's human nature. If you've always had something, if you were born in a mansion, You expect to live in another mansion. You can't, but if you were the one who started in a shack.

And earn that mansion every day, you appreciate it, and you should that's just the way it is.

So it's hard to appreciate something we've always had. That's why I tell people travel. And if you find some place better, stay. But they always come back. Yeah, travel is great.

You know, and I grew up as a military brat living in third world countries.

So, I mean, for me, my sense of gratitude is so grounded in having lived in countries like Turkey and Peru. And I lived in Venezuela for a while. I've traveled through India. I mean, go to any of those places. But even if you go to Europe, you know, what's interesting about Europe is that it's still very classist.

So is Latin America. It's very classist. There's that sort of mobility, that fluidity that we have, that if you work hard, you can rise from poverty. To the middle class in America is not something that you see so often in Europe. In fact, in Europe, if you talk to your neighbor and say, I'm thinking about starting a new business, they'll probably try and talk you out of it.

They're super neg. You say it to a fellow American, they'll go, Go for it. And Europeans will tell you all the time that that's the case. We've all heard the radio ads about the IRS. They tell you to be afraid and they try to frighten you into calling.

It was interesting, but that's the whole thing of giving yourself a shot. People are an opportunity. They don't want outcomes.

I remember Phil Night told us that, you know, he starts Nike. He said, I asked my sister to go down and fill out an applica, a business operating application. That was it. He said, if I was to start Nike now, I would have to get a lawyer to go over all the aspects and all the liabilities and go get insurance. He said, I would not be able to do it.

We have gotten so conditioned to all these regulations. And still people are breaking through. You know, I had a conversation once with a guy named John Menard. John Menard is an amazing guy, came from poverty, started just to make some extra money building pole barns. And he's now has a store called Menards, that's a chain that's a competitor.

With Home Depot, very popular in Wisconsin. He's the richest man in Wisconsin. And I asked him, because he donates a lot of money to economic freedom causes, to organizations that promote economic freedom. And I asked him, why do you do this? Why do you give away your millions to these kinds of organizations?

And he says, because. I would not be able to start my company today. I was just a guy with an idea and a thought and a lot of hard work. He said, exactly what you said. I would have to have.

The money to hire a team of lawyers, I would have to deal with so much regulation, I couldn't even have opened the first store. That's a scary thought. And that's what will kill the American dream more than anything else. All right.

So, when you talk about who's in your book, can you run down some of the names that we'll all hear from and get their essays? Absolutely.

Well, Brian Kilmean, Ainsley, Charlie, Griff. I've got Sean Hannity in there, Will Kane, Charles Payne, Harris Faulkner, Shannon Bream. Martha McCallum. I mean, the list goes on and on. Joey Jones, who we know just re-enlisted yesterday, the list goes on and on.

And it's every story is different. Every story is regional, you know, like the story from Emily Campano growing up in Northern California and also her move to the Northwest up in Washington is different than, say, Will Cain's story in Texas. And Hawaii. Will never stop talking about Hawaii. He used to work with us.

He loves it. Rachel Campos Duffy, congratulations. It's called Celebrating 250 Years of America Greatness. Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. I don't know if you knew this, but anyone can get the same premium wireless for $15 a month plan that I've been enjoying.
