  Speaker 3: couple of quotes. But one thing I have to say
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: is I wondered why we were getting such a bad like.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I remember Julia Roberts talking to Kamala Harrison Oprah Ripfrey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: and she said, you know, wherever I go, when people
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: find out I'm from America, they're like oh, and I thought, really,

  Speaker 3: I don't know where he's from, but he said, he said,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: if you want to hight the US, just listen to
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the media, But if you want to love the US,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: then just drive across it.

• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know, no, but I've seen that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: There's so there's this first went fire. I think the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: first one that went viral was a guy named Freddie
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: okay uh, Freddy forty seven and he went from a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you know, a couple of thousand people following him, to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: instantly thirty thousand people following him, to now hundreds of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: thousands of people following him to where it was so surreal.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: He was driving through Alabama because he had posted how
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: there's a country singer he had ever heard it before,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I heard one of her songs, loved her, and the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: radio station went, hey, you guys have to be following
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this guy, Freddie. He says he loves his country artist,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so we're playing this song for it. So he stopped
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: posted about the radio station talking about him. As he's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: driving through the United States on his first I mean,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: how surreal is And by the way, he's now gotten
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to meet that singer oh of course and get signed
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: autographs and stuff. I mean he's gone.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Well, that's another thing. Okay. So a lot of these
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: people are driving hours around the South, yes, and they
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: are saying, you know, what we've been told is not true.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: These people are so loving and caring and I share,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: and they give you this food that's so divine, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: they'll give you refiels of their drinks. I mean, they're
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: talking about the waffle House and BUCkies and Walmart and
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: kind of really renewing our love for our own country.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But I saw this post. It says this is guy
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: from named Tomo. I'll just read real quick things have
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: learned along the way. He's from Britain. Your weather's not
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to be messed with. Your sunsets are stunning, Your beer's fantastic,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Your barbecue's delicious, Your scenery is beautiful. Folks have strong
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: opinion on barbecuing. Gas prices and biscuits and graviy are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: definitely not scones and mushrooms.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: The biscuits and gravy, that's huge, that's huge. They are
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: absolutely going wild. They're talking about lines outside of waffle house. Yes,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it's insane.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: BUCkies, Yeah, I mean BUCkies. And there's another one says
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they're discovering free public restrooms. Apparently in Europe, you want
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to go to public ressroom, you have to pay. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: they're discovering free water.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: They're talking about ice and air conditioning, and you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: just the people. They keep talking about, the people they're like.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: They're said, you have to understand these people will have
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: conversations with you. They genuinely care about how you think
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and how you feel. And so it really does go
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: back to how the media portrays us, you know, here
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and abroad. If you come, you will see for yourself.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I saw one girl on there and she said, she
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: admitted she's a very lefty lefty and she said, crying,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: she said, I want these people to go home. I'm
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: starting to feel patriotic and I don't want to feel that,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: which is so bizar. But I love the fact that,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you know, when Julia said, I want to go back
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to the days when I can say I'm from America
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and people go, oh my gosh, Julia, you are there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: They are coming out droves to say how much they
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: love us.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: One of the things in Europe is if you want
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: air conditioning, you're considered a bad person because they've bought
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: them to the whole climate change thing. And now you've
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: had all these Europeans coming over here going I can't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: explain in the Dallas in Dallas at the AT and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: T Stadium, which you can't call it that for the work, Yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but they're like, this building is air conditioned. It's amazing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to have a stadium of you know, eighty ninety whatever
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, and yet it's cool inside with the air.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They're amazed by the air condition.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: They're also amazed at the reverence we have for our flag.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: One guy was talking and I won't do the accent,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: but all of these people with all these different accents
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: from everywhere talking about all of this, and it just
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: melt your heart. But this one guy got emotional and
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: he said, the reverence when I see the men take
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: their hats off in place it on their hearts, Oh yeah,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: it moves him. They all want to move here, they
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: all want to be here. They you, and I hope
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that it does renew this sense of pride and patriotism
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: for our own Americans.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: For it's sometimes is interesting in order for you to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: see yourself in a new way, it sometimes helps to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: see how other people see you, right, And this World
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Cup is giving us that opportunity like nothing I've ever
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: seen before.

• 5:26
  Speaker 3: this is on the world stage. This is global, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: so you're having all these people, for whatever reason, taken
• 5:32
