This is from Penn & Teller's Bullshit. The episode was on Mount Rushmore, but it was really more about freedom. This bit is so powerful that it literally brings me to tears. This is my idea of patriotism. I did post this same trick that
P&T performed on The West Wing, but this is the whole thing from their stage show, with Penn's full monologue. It cuts off the last line, but I'm sure you can figure it out. If I find a more complete clip I'll post that.
I had the great pleasure of seeing this trick performed live, and I tell you, it's ten times as powerful.
