As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question. How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America? The answer is probably gonna surprise you. More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America. 85, that's not good.
One of the reasons I like good ranchers is because of that number. They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door. No imported mystery meat, just high-quality American beef, chicken, pork and seafood raised right here.
I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms. This July, Good Ranchers is celebrating all 50 states with $50 off anything on their site. Just visit goodranchers.com. Use the promo code Glenn at checkout, get $50 off anything on their site. Remember, that's my code Glenn, $50 off, goodranchers.com. That's goodranchers.com. This summer is one to savor. goodranchers.com, American meat delivered.

Oh my gosh, and it is. And it is the last show before we celebrate our 250th birthday as a nation, live from Washington, DC. There's a ton to talk about. We begin in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about rapid radios. When you go to a play, the audience only sees what is happening on stage. They don't see the stage manager wearing the headset backstage quietly, making sure that every actor hits their mark, every scene change happens on time, and everybody knows exactly what comes next. If that communication breaks down, the whole production starts to unravel. It turns out that it is just true about any group of people, whether you're running a job site, coordinating a church event, hunting with friends, or keeping track of the family on vacation. Good communication is what keeps everything moving in the same direction. That's why I like Rapid Radios. They give you an instant, reliable way to stay connected so everybody knows what's going on without having to chase people down or wonder whether they saw your message or not.

All right.
We're in Washington DC. It's the 250th birthday of America.
I was complaining yesterday because nobody knows about these fireworks that are happening. This is the largest fireworks show ever attempted by man on earth on Saturday. Ten times the largest fireworks show America has ever seen. You'll never see anything like this. It is absolutely incredible what is being planned. I said, nobody knows about the state fair. Nobody knows about what's happening in Washington DC. And the streets are empty here and it's sad. It's really sad. And then the Washington Post decided to cover it. And I have had it. I've had it. I drove by the Washington Post here in Washington DC. And I thought, oh wow, I wonder why half of the building's lights are out. Because you're going broke and I can't wait until you're entirely broke.
America has survived 250 years. We've survived 250 years. And that is fabulous.
But I have to tell you, I've had it with the reflex from the press, the automatic impulse to search every American moment for the dark cloud instead of the sunlight. Think about what is happening this week. Not next year, this week, this week, the United States turns 250 years old. Do you know how remarkable that is? For we have the same Constitution. The average Constitution lasts 17 years. No one living has ever seen anything like this. No one living will ever see it again. This is not another 4th of July. This is the 4th of July. I saw, as a kid, the 200th. This is the 250th. I'll be long dead, and my kids will remember, oh, I saw the 250th. And they'll remember it when it's the 300th.
