SIGNAL SITDOWN With Nick Freitas

As America approaches the 250th anniversary of its divorce from England, Nick Freitas joins the Signal Sitdown podcast to discuss the state of the United Kingdom. This transcript has been slightly edited for clarity.

Bradley Devlin: You were just in the United Kingdom.

Nick Freitas: Yes, I was.

Bradley Devlin: On our 250th birthday, you were in the United Kingdom. What were you doing there? Are you some sort of traitor?

Nick Freitas: I was spying out what we do next.
