  Speaker 1: You know, in one of the things that we often forget,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and I remember struggling with this when I was a child,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: first learning this magnificent history from family members, but also
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: from school, but mainly from family members.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Celebrating the fourth of July.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The men and women who took up arms against a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: king against a tyrant. They had been British subjects living
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in America for generations, for one hundred and fifty years.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It is all they knew.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's all their parents knew, their grandparents, it's all their
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: great grandparents knew. And the courage, the guts, the wisdom
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it took for them to say, you know what, everything
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that I have known and my grandparents have known, we
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: are going to set aside for something better.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I want to give you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: A live look here over the Washington Well, you're seeing
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: this massive flyover that's happening. This guy's is the Navy's
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: elite fighters right there going over our heads right now.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Faaighteen e F super Hornets.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: They're followed by the thirty five Lightning two, the Joint
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Strike Fighters.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You can see their information there with two aircrafts there.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: This is the backbone of what Navy aircraft carriers carry
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: as a threat to any enemy, many of them obviously
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: stationed out in the Gulf in the Middle East now,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: But this is the threat that we have that is
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: matched by none on the planet. We have the most fierce,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: capable air fighting superiority on the nation.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And it's flying over to the mall now.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: So I grew up in Air Force, Brad. That's like
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: sort of like the soundtrack of My life, of my
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: chocolate here the perfume, Jeff. I went to many air
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: shows as a kid. My father would say, listen up, Rachel.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You hear that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: That's the sound of freedom. And it absolutely is the
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: sound of freedom. And these these men and women who
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: fly these look at these the acrobatics they do in air.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: It just it makes us so proud of our nation,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: of our military and the power we have to defend ourselves,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: which is really the primary purpose of of our government.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And as they call our aircraft carries what it's one
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand tons, one hundred thousand tons of diplomacy.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And when you have twelve of them.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Keeping the trade routes free and open around the world,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it gives us a lot of benefits that they should
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: be grateful for.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Every day. And when you.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: See an faaighteen EF fighter super Hornet, which is what
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I believe we're looking at right here, coming your way,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you are not going to win. You are not going
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: to overcome their superiority when they take the disguise, because
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: these specific super Hordets can do aired air combat or
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: they could go on sorties, fly missions.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Just to say, there's so many things I love about Griff,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but one of the things I love about Griff he
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: actually knows what he's talking about when he talks about this.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But also it takes a lot of guts to sit
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: on national television.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And test your trivia knowledge.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: About this because there are millions of Americans sitting around
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: right now watching and they know whether what you just
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: said was it right, you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Called the exact name correctly or not.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: There are maybe air fighters and I'm sure Air Force
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: guys as well, like talking, well, you didn't get this right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: But you know what, I've been there. I've been on
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: those carriers when they've taken off. I've been there when
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: they came back from successful missions. But I love that
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: we're taking a look now because there have been so
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: many I mean, there's like hundreds of aircraft over hours
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and hours flying over all day. These particularly were worth
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: pointing out because you know, our F eighteens in our
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: F thirty five's are just nothing matches it. This is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the fiercest thing we have in the air to throw
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: at our would be enemies in a great deterrent. President
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Turp talks about peace through strength. You're watching strength right there.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: They're also just really cool. I've been talking to a
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: lot of the FIFA fans who are swarming our country,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and we love them all, and they just can't believe,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: you know, one how gorgeous our stadiums are. By the way,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I've heard like people saying FIFA should be here every
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: every World Cup, should be here because they love our
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: beautiful stadiums, and they love these flyovers that have also
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: been happening over games and and they're just so impressive.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's really also cool about this is
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: this is not just your regular flyover that you get
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: at a stadium.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: This is a full on air show.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: They're not just like you know, coming from the distance
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and then disappearing in the distance.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: They are flying around.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: The mall for all those people who are gathered there,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and they're getting a real show here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: You've been up in the air in a jet.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You know what it's like to pull these blue one
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: griff Yeah, how many.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: At them? We pulled nine plus g's.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But and you know, in all seriousness, I really do
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: think that, like if I were Elon Musk and the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: world's first trillionaire, I would start a program to allow
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: every single American who wants to fly in one of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: these jets.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Start a program so.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That everybody can fly in one of these things. This, however,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: much in awe you are of our and our country,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of this technology, and in the men and women who
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: fly these things. It is when you go up with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: one of these guys or gals and do the flips
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and do the turns and then landst especially most importantly
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: land safely back on earth, is it is?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It's truly all inspiring. Yea, yeah, that's super important right there.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I think we've seen some single seaters in some two seaters,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: but the maneuvers that they're pulling off over that crowd
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: down there on the mall, they just must be speechless.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the spectacle over over Washington, DC right now, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: it's been happening all day. We've been hearing it from
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: where I was staying this afternoon. All day long, we're
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: hearing it, and people are just watching, impressed and proud
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of America on two hundred and fifty years. That's the
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: sound of freedom.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And I'm so glad you mentioned a sound too, because literally,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: look how tired he's pulling that turn as he goes
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: over the.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And that looks like that could be a two seater.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: These are all super hornets FA eighteen super hornets.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But you know, to put on this sort of skill
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and display.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: This is a young man or woman that many years
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: ago in their youth, decided I want to do.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: The things it takes to be able to do that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: But if you talk.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: About what freedom probably feels like, as Charlie knows is
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: a pilot now full nineties, nothing feels like freedom like
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: being in a jet going that fast and pulling those maneuvers.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Remember going actually going down the runway and the guy
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is like, so you want to do an unrestricted climb?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, sure, that sounds good. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: don't know what that is, but that sounds perfectly fine.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And then the next thing you know, you're going literally
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: straight up in the air for whatever, you know, a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: mile and then you turn upside down, and I.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Just remember loving putting on the flight suit and feeling
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: really cool and fashionable, and then the very slim whether
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: you and then and then the thing goes over the.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Hood thing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the canopy comes up, comes over, and all of
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: a sudden, he's like two hundred miles an hour, three
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: hundred and four to eight hundred miles an hour.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Was like, oh my god, it's too late, and.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I had to just sit back and try and enjoy
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the ride. And it was incredible, but I did get
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: a little nauseous. And I also pulled nine geese, which was.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Pretty for all of us because we're roughly the same
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: age and obviously when we were young.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Top Gun, the original.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Top Gun, was exactly what I was thinking.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Was such a classic, and it really was, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the Hollywood version of these brave, amazing, talented pilots lives.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: And everybody saw that I had not one but two
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: high school friends from from my high school class in
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Memphis that went on to be Air Force.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Well, of course, and of course the Great Blue Sky
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is the last Frontier.
