Happy Independance Day 250th Birthday Special
Podcasts > The Attorney Patrick Smith Show
Saturday, July 4, 2026
On this special, Patrick celebrates the nation with patriotic greetings, shares his safe fireworks viewing from home, and thanks fill-in co-hosts. The show highlights the bravery of the Founding Fathers by detailing the British laws they broke to create the U.S.—most notably high treason (punishable by the gruesome hanged-drawn-and-quartered execution), plus smuggling, tax evasion, the Boston Tea Party property destruction, and even scrapping the Articles of Confederation to ratify the Constitution with only 9 of 13 states. Smith underscores their youth, risks, and “win at all costs” spirit, while touching on their estate planning. A caller discusses mineral rights and receives advice on trusts to avoid probate (with the $695 package promoted). The episode covers Founding Fathers’ wills, a lively rundown of presidential scandals (“fireworks”) from Clinton-Lewinsky to Watergate, Grant’s speeding ticket, and more, then ends with a trust package giveaway won by a caller guessing The Patriot, fireworks safety tips, and a heartfelt “God bless the USA.”
