an A+ Culinary Experience.

And then, there was very little food options.

He said, "The entertainment's gonna be incredible."

It basically looks like you're going to my eighth grade science fair. And quite literally nobody showed up. So, they're basically canceling it and they're blaming it on the weather. Oh, yes, there was so much rain

in Washington, D.C. that they had to just shut down the Great-American-Fair for the entire day. Look, the day before, the power was basically broken everywhere in the shack area that they were basically calling the unique culinary experience.

The lights would flicker on and off. They're having massive power issues. The Ferris Wheel wasn't working. That was like one of the only attractions. The entire thing was just an absolute failure.

And by the way, I'm the guy who brought down Fire Festival. And before, I started the My Distension Network. I was a class action lawyer in a civil rights lawyer. And I was the guy who filed the first case against Fire Festival

where they promised it was gonna be this incredible experience

on Pablo Escobar's Island. Okay, Fire Festival looks much better than whatever the heck this is. So, this was posted from the official Freedom 250 account due to inclimit weather in the area. The Freedom 250 Great-American State Fair

and the FIFA World Cup 2026 fan zone will be closed for the rest of the day, Friday, June 26, 2026. The safety of our guests, staff and partners remains our top priority, pause.

What guests? What partners? Who's even no one's there? We are actively monitoring conditions and we'll provide updates as they become available.

The Great-American State Fair will reopen tomorrow at 10am. Like this actually could have been a great event. It didn't have to be political.

It could have been incredible to have states represented

and real incredible music, but Donald Trump made the things so weird and divisive. And we're gonna go and find the communists here and the weird reflecting pool stuff. The vandals are ripping it apart

and there's like national guard everywhere and weird AI devices trying to find that antifa vandals and people are just like, I don't wanna be associated with this. The North Carolina booth at the state fair,

which I guess the state of North Carolina didn't wanna send anybody because this thing was such an utter failure, was sponsored by like private companies and groups. And of course, Confederate flags everywhere. Rubin Jones, a reporter who stopped

by the North Carolina booth at the Great-American State Fair, which was sponsored by all of these companies, at an event in Washington, D.C., which is supposed to be sponsored by the United States, Confederate flags everywhere,

but a spokesperson for the booth said,

The flags that were shown were not approved.

As soon as we were made aware,

we immediately removed the video and began reviewing how it occurred. I'll tell you how it occurred. You put it up, idiots. You put it up, it was everywhere

and this little crappy booth, the only thing that was really there was Confederate flags everywhere. That was the point you wanted to make. You wanted to make a racist point

and that's what she did right there.

You all saw the tens of people who were attending right here.

You can see the Great-American State Fair. This is the model of the triumphal arch right there. You can see the pavilion where there's one, two, three, four, five. I'm objectively, there may be like 19 people over here as it got later, there may have been to be fair 120 people later on.

I guess those are all the guests and the partners as Homa Bash says. Opening day of the Great-American Fair, can look, there's like, again, nobody there at all. Lots of national guard there

throughout Washington, D.C. and they are tasked, look at them. They're tasked with guarding the reflecting pool and being used as props for Donald Trump's photos and his social media posts.

Good morning from the pool. Oh, absolutely. That's exactly what we wanted to see there as a man to more capture this moment right here. Loitering is not permitted in this area.

Please pursue to the designated location. It's like, stupid, 1984.

I mean, 1984 or well was combined with idiocracy.

This is what you have. National guard troops going around the reflecting pool with voice coming out of an AI machine, telling people, you can't loiter and walk around the reflecting pool.

Loitering is not permitted. Okay, this is, again, an utterly deranged scene here. Watch for yourself. Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please pursue to the designated location.

Please pursue to the location. D.C. Councilwoman Christina Henderson said, "When to the Great-American State Fairies today, "so you don't have to. "Not a funnel cake, no corn dogs, no bucket lemonade,

"no fried snickers and sights. "The only ride is the Ferris wheel." And by the way, the Ferris wheel is broken. It's not that kind of state-fairy all. Saxophones were not added to this recording.

And she also writes, "Before you pack up your kids

"to go down there, just know the main attraction

"is the state boots. "Not every state offers an interactive attraction, "real missed opportunity on the food aspect, though. "A taste of the states would have been fun. "There's this weird willy-wank,

"is weird willy-wank a thing right there "as Ben Brash writes. "The weekday, the weekday daytime crowd here "at the Great-American State Fairies light. "Speaking of light, the lights keep turning on and off

"and the power keeps going on and off in the food tense. "And then the ice cream started to melt "and the food started to rot "because the power wasn't working as city-casties as oops. "The much-hyped Ferris wheel per calices,

"at the Great-American State Fairies down, "the power continued to go down over there." - Most people assume that if they're taking supplements every day, they're getting the benefits.

But the reality is the vast majority of supplements

have incredibly low absorption rates, meaning most of what people spend money on never actually get used by the body. The absorption company is focused on solving that exact problem, with pharmaceutical grade absorption technology,

designed to help nutrients actually work. Their WLP-1 is a daily weight management solution, their regulates appetite and cravings, increases the tidy, and reduces absorption of fat and carbs. Their burberryen, that supports metabolism,

blood sugar, insulin resistance, and cravings. And their magnesium, that promotes better sleep, supports muscle recovery and regulate stress and moods. The absorption company uses cutting-edge technologies to make supplements with pharmaceutical grade absorption,

up to 149 times better than standard supplements. Because no matter how powerful a supplement is on paper, it only matters if your body can actually absorb it. I cannot recommend the absorption company enough, and I'm just thrilled with how their magnesium

has positively impacted nicely. Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb. Go to absorb more.com and enter Midas at checkout

freedom 250 showcases that-- and here's how they describe-- I'm sorry, this is what bars are. That was from the website of the Freedom 250 event. Food showcases, Americans, culinary traditions.

Then it was like, this was what it was.

Pulled pork burger and fries.

And what that is even going on there. Anyway, I'll just try to show for you how even the propaganda coming out

of the Trump regime tried to frame this.

Where you'll see nobody there. So this was the post from NASA. We are at the Great American State Fair in Washington, DC. Discover the technology and science, driving our most exciting missions.

And it's like astronauts-- a cardboard box versions of the astronauts here. You can see this for yourself. Let's play this clip. [MUSIC PLAYING]

And then on Fox, they were like, the event was going to be great,

but the rain squirted all up here.

Let's play this clip. [MUSIC PLAYING] Home is where the heartland is, as today's America's 250 celebrations spotlight the country's farmers, ranchers, and agriculture leaders.

No mother nature had a bit of an agenda of her own today. Senior National correspondent Kevin Cork shows us the sights and sounds of today's festivities. When I saw you out there, it wasn't raining yet. No, it had not started.

We were looking west. We were like, it's going to rain. Indeed. But you know, they say rain on your wedding day is good luck. And if that's any indication of the future fortunes

of the Great American State Fair,

they're in for a great many days of fun and fortune, just not tonight. Thanks to the bad weather in the area, Freedom 250 is no moss. It'll start again tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

in the meantime, be there, Aloha. As for the folks who are out there today, while it lasted today's theme was American grown. And we're not just talking about American produce. We're talking about being American grown,

being part of the American family comfortable, listening to jazz as we are to country, a community that celebrates 4-H, FFA, rodeos ranching while paying respects to our farmers. I feel like it's a renewed focus on the importance of our farmers

and our ranchers and agriculture in general. If we can't feed ourselves, then we lose freedom in this country. There will not be in America 350 or 450 or 500. - Salute to the farmers and the ranchers. Now for the many thousands who did brave the heat

in humidity and beat the rain, today's celebration was just as enjoyable as it was meaningful.

- So the history, but I think coming back

and remembering it is important for not only us, but for our children. - The fair itself, it's a great big birthday party. You know, it's family friendly, it's clean, the rides, just everything representing all the states

and what makes America an America. - As mentioned, the fair resumes tomorrow at 10 AM. No word on the flyovers, we suspect they'll be plenty. And we don't know about vanilla ice. He was slated to perform tonight.

We'll see if he hangs out for tomorrow. - But vanilla ice was gonna perform over here. This was the special report coming out of it as well. Let's play this clip. - Isn't DC with the details Kevin.

So is vanilla ice getting iced out? - Uh, you're so funny. Don't quit your day job, Raymond. If you are hilarious, now listen Charlie, unfortunately, listen, you got out there early today.

Chances are you had a great time. You got to see the great all-American state fair, but if you plan to slide in there tonight, after five o'clock, two late, two bad, mother nature and put you right back in your car,

rain moved into the area right around five o'clock Eastern time, which means if you left work and you're thinking pop over, you missed out, at least for today. Not to worry tomorrow, the fair resumes at 10 AM. vanilla ice was slated for tonight. We don't know if he's got to hang around. A lot of people

looking forward to seeing him, but he was a good sport today all the same Charlie. And then Ray Minderroyo tried to make this thing look good. But again, it just looks absolutely horrible. Let's play this clip. We made it. We made it. We are great American state fair Laura. Cozys and K-rings from all 56 territories. Wow, little stuffed animals all made of the United States. And a fair student, let's go. All right, let's go.

They're thin oak fibs. Yeah. Maybe this is the space lounge where. So now we're here at the state

pavilion. Yes. What are we doing? Why are you holding? Oh, you have boys. Is there a cute cowboy?

Yeah. And here's how K-List is the article from City Cast dc. Here's how K-List Cody described it. I went to the great American state fair so you don't have to. Nobody, they're seriously nobody a man shouting into his phone as he exited the great American state fair. It was a pretty good one liner for what I was about to experience. I got there at 5 p.m. opening day walked right in despite being one of America 250's biggest attractions.

There was no line. Suddenly I was a lone sims character dropped into a brand new game. And she says a few other confused red-wide and blue sims wandered around the premises.

There's no music, no laughter, no fried dose emails.

Ferris wheel. There was nothing to suggest any type of state fair that I grew up with. She goes on to

talk about how it was it's a 16 day exhibition on the national mall that runs from June 25 to July

to July 10th. I say halls, but a closer inspection revealed them to be makeshift plywood jacks with ionic pillars printed on vinyl and staple to the side. George's booth is filled with

scary AI art of chicken farmers and crates from the beloved north Georgia roadside market.

Alabama's booth is just one room with a bucket of peanuts in the middle. Florida's booth was

the best I found was a small mini golf course and a wall of famous Florida men and women including Mississippi born Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy Buffett. The DC booth was a small cabin with a fake cherry blossom cheat where people were encouraged to place tags. They range from John 3 16 to love Jesus Christ and how we're into my excursion. It was time for the main event. The food stand. So far I was underwhelmed but I figured that could easily be washed away with deep fried

car and dogs and hot pink cotton candy, right? And she goes I walked into the hilariously long makeshift food hall which was empty. Say for a few apathetic looking employees scrolling on their phones. When I saw made a 7-Eleven roller grill hot dog look like a gastronomic masterpiece. A few anemic burgers set limpy behind the kiosk. It looked like they had been sitting in the hot tent for several hours. The women at the cash register told me they had been experiencing

powder-hour powder, power outages on an awful day. It was not reassuring. Was this even safe?

I pointed to the pathetic thing. What's that? That's a pulled pork burger. I would just have to believe her. I paid $27 to put it out of its misery. Oh man. Well there you have a box. Let me
