Milken Institute founder Michael Milken visualizes the center exhibition of the center focused on the American dream and its four pillars: health, entrepreneurship, education and finance.
Philanthropist, financier and innovator Michael Milken redefine the American dream as something deeper than financial success.
“What is essential for the American dream?” Milken asked in an exclusive interview On “Morning with Maria” Friday. “The freedom to live your life is essential. And when you ask what is not essential? Personal wealth.”
“Wealth does not bring happiness,” he repeated, recalling the story of a man who found his dream not on Wall Street but on the sidelines. “And I just watched this video of a man who told me that he had achieved his American dream by training his daughter’s football team.”
On the other side of the White House street, the Milken Institute opens an exhibition called “The Center for the Prevention of the American Dream.” The interactive gallery mixes bold ideas with stories and technology to “visualize your potential in new ways,” according to its website.
Experts warn the Federal Reserve is “frozen” the American Dream with “incompetence”
“For a person who has never known his father (they), they can come and look at the stories of people who have never known their fathers,” Milken said. “They can see this tree for generations. They can put their painting, a picture of their parents, their children. And they can think what it means to have freedom and live in America.”

The American Dream is not in personal wealth, but rather “the freedom to live your life,” says Michael Milken. (Foxbusiness)
In addition to the symbolization of family, roots and continuity, the exhibit projects four pillars of heritage and shared values: education, entrepreneurship, health and finance.
“Unfortunately, still in America, The life span of your life It is still linked to your postcode. We need to convey this message that all health care is available to everyone, “Milk explained, moving to the Entrepreneurship Ladder.” Those unusual people who think of new ideas and new ways to do things are their stories. “
“Tommy Laren is a fearless” host of Outkick Tomi Lahren, weighs on reports that Gen Z feels “judged” about managing his money and that young people are skeptical of the American dream.
“You could have dreams but these dreams don’t have to come true if no one will borrow you money … 40 to 50 years or more before the carrierThere was a doctor who had to cool the operating rooms and he created an air conditioner, but no one would give him money. And so his idea has never become a reality. “
The education “subjugated all this,” said Milk about the last pillar: “What we have found for over 50 years is that the most important factor for a person outside the home is the teacher and the classroom. We have a story here … to a young woman who was very difficult to hear almost deaf.

The chairman of the Milken Institute Michael Milken joined the Mornings with Maria to discuss the future of the Ai Health Care and the Federal Reserve, predicting a “light recession” later this year.
Milken said he hoped the project would connect the inheritance with the younger generations seeking the opportunity, defined not by money but by the family, health and the community.
“What we hope is that it is a symbol of hope that anyone can enter here … and they can think what it means to have freedom and live in America.”
