Summary of Event:

Trump narrates this show adding up all the assets of America. At the end says “don’t believe the doomsayers - america is still number one and it will stay that way for a long long time.”

Key points:

0:00 Trump: America - a land of gleaming cities and unparalleled beauty - it’s priceless right? Wrong - everything has a price and I’m going to find out what it is - i’m going to put a dollar amount on everything in america - there is money to be had everywhere - there are those who say america is a waning power, that we’re broke, i say they’re not looking hard enough

1:53 Trump: here in the US we’re the highest producer of millionaires - one reason is because we’re overflowing with resources like oil - we’re the 3rd largest oil producer in the world - when people think oil they think texas but greg drills for oil in suburban LA - Greg is an accidental oil baron - started out as property developer - abandoned oil wells on one of his properties

3:50 Greg stumbled on one of the biggest oil reserves in the world in long beach CA - how much value is there across the whole country - ⅕ comes from tx - 768 billion dollars in total - precious metals and minerals worth $700,000 under houses - Elko NV may seem sleepy but underground things are booming - these miners work the biggest gold deposit in western hemisphere

6:08 everybody is getting a piece of the action - these miners earn double the national salary - today matt and his buddies will mine 350 ounces of gold - besides NV there’s gold in AL and a dozen other states - water - the biggest source of fresh water is great lakes - ⅕ of the world’s supply of fresh water

8:02 Lance didn’t want to pay the municipal rate so he went looking for his own water - he found a lot more - then lance found a man with an unusual job - across the country americans drink more bottled water than any other nation on the planet - let’s total up all underground resources - gold, iron, coal, oil, natural gas - adding them all up is 2.4 trillion dollars

10:33 i’m donald trump and i’m putting a price on everything in america - cornerstone of american dream is homeownership - carpets, glassware, furniture worth billions - garage sale - on average there are over 45,000 garage sales in america every weekend - each one packed with treasure

13:48 i just a few hours aaron spent 250 - can he turn it around to make a profit? Aaron is happy to the tune of 175,000 dollars a year because he sees opportunities others can’t - americans own more cars per capita than any other nation on earth - in LA there are more cars than people - total value 1.3 trillion dollars - but you don’t need to manufacture cars to cash in, there’s riches to made in tearing them apart

15:41 frank deals in discarded vehicles - frank’s out 400 dollars - he needs to make it back and fast - average profit per vehicle 220 dollars, not bad - frank cashes in on discarded clunkers - here’s how they add up - bikes, computers, luggage, homes, put together is 21 trillion dollars - that’s nothing compared to the value of what we eat

18:20 i’m donald trump and I’m doing something no one has done before - what could be more american than 4th of july celebrations and the food we eat - chips, dip, burgers, beer, the final bill is 3 billion dollars and worth every deliciou penny - who’s making all the money - cattle industry is worth 74 billion - more money saving the bull from the butcher but only if he can buck - people pay top dollar for champion bull

20:06 you heard him, this bull earns 5x more money than the average american and he’s not even the most expensive - the faster they buck their riders off the more they’re worth - next up jerry’s rising star - that should up his value - dead or alive america’s supply of livestock is a cash cow - 40% of our nation is farmland - value of crops is 43 billion dollars - we throw enough food out everyday to fill a football stadium - one man’s garbage is another’s gold

22:13 How do you make a million from garbage? 20 tons of food waste a day - their garbage turned compost is worth 8.50 a bag - the money is in the bag for daniel - livestock, machinery, timber, parks, total value is 3.5 trillion dollars and that’s nothing compared to infrastructure

24:56 in america if something is worth doing it’s work doing big, moderation is another word for failure - skykings, highways, bridges, pricetag is higher than any other asset we’ve looked at so far - how do you get a slice of that money - ingenuity and hard work - let’s start with roads - america has 3 million miles of roads that have to be repaved every 10 years - you just need to be the fastest and cheapest guy out there

26:58 conventional pavers dig up the asphalt and relay it - secret to success is fire - but al’s machine doesn’t destroy the road, it recycles it - to keep this country functioning we’ve built a colossal infrastructure - railroads, sewers, power grid, roads, that brings total value to 31 trillion dollars - there’s one national asset that’s easy to forget and it’s worth a fortune

30:03 I’m donald trump and i’m putting a price on everything in america - all of these assets lay the groundwork for the most profitable part of our country: me…. And you - human assets - on average each square mile of this country has 67 million dollars of human assets - ideas - every year americans come up with amazing ideas - the people with those ideas get very rich - bob invented something that we all use today - he was a pilot - he found a solution that was  simple, brilliant, and is worth millions - that’s right, he reinvented the wheel and his bag with wheels design took off

32:55 if you don’t have that brilliant idea there’s always old fashioned hard work - the lifetime earning capacity of a crane operator is 2 million - surgeon will earn over 9 million - total up is 232 trillion dollars - it’s not about what you do, it’s about what you are - everything has a price and i mean everything - one man wanted to see if he could turn his flesh and bones into dollars and cents - as a journalist patrick started with companies who sell body fluids to researchers - if you can sell something as bilirubin then imagine what the rest of your body is worth

34:54 that makes bone marrow worth more than its weight in gold - counting every american that totals 14 quadrillion dollars - there’s a catch - we can’t sell our bodies - it’s illegal and not to mention bad for your health - so here’s the total for what we can monetize - ideas, work, together 237 trillion dollars - here’s the fun part where we add it all up - final figure that america is all worth is…

36:28 our journey is coming to an end and we’ve audited the entire nation - first there’s another vital part of our nation - it protects our borders and our entire way of life - our military - we have over 46 billion dollars worth of missiles, etc. total worth 1.2 trillion dollars - biggest defense in the world - huge military contracts - we all know these are handed out to huge corporations right? Not always - alex is an engineer - he beat out huge corporations to get contract to make clothing for marines

38:14 they set out to make bulletproof vests armed only with a warehouse full of sewing machines - one in 5 weapons is an AK47 - soldiers need protection they can count on - will the handiwork of a team of dressmakers be tough enough to protect our great troops? The vests work so well uncle sam has ordered thousands of them from this small factory - we’re almost ready to add up our numbers and reveal what this country is really worth - we have to subtract our debt - national debt is close to 15 trillion dollars - starting with a big handicap

40:46 if we had to sell america lock, stock and barrel what would be a fair price? Natural resources, rural assets, homes, army, infrastructure, us - our hard work and genius for ideas outweighs everything else - subtract the debt and the final number is 280 trillion dollars - that’s almost a million dollars for every man, woman, and child in america - don’t believe the doomsayers - america is still number one and it will stay that way for a long long time
