Europeans LOVE America During Their First Visit For World Cup

0:00 We mentioned these people who hate America who we were talking about like the whatever the ones who can't stand the USC and think it's an example of modern day slavery whatever it is that is contrasted as I pointed out with these Europeans who are coming through for the World Cup. I heard you guys discuss this on the editors too. They're so joyful. It's so great to listen to these guys because they're experienced our country, experiencing our country for the first time. And so it gives you the chance to see some of the things we take for granted through fresh eyes and it's wonderful. And wokeness online put together a montage of some of these guys. Watch SAT 23B. >> Everybody's so friendly. Southern hospitality. The air smells nice. >> When you're in the UK, okay, if you're next to the beach, it smells. The beach

0:47 doesn't smell here, right? >> No. Everything's for you. >> I can refill. >> Yeah. One, two, >> I can refill this a thousand times. >> Yeah, but you won't drink 1,000 cups of co and it's free. >> You paid for it. You paid it >> once. >> Bro, slow down. >> Free refills. >> It's the best burger. Honestly, it's so good. And then I also got the animal style fries and burger. >> The diet lemonade for balance is pink. >> I just love it here. Like and they give to fight human trafficking which is awesome. They have Bible verses on the

1:33 bottom of their cup. Never if you can see. But yeah, look at that burger. It's so good. And then we've got the sunset. I love America. I can never leave. >> The German guy, he's been amazing. I think it was, is that the guy who was on Jake Tapper? The the German guy, you guys? Yeah, we'll watch a little. He went on Jake Taber South 22. >> What do you make of all the viral content coming out of this tournament and and all the love for the European tourists uh from the American people as you show us our country with fresh eyes? Yeah, I know Freddy. He's a nice guy. He's from He's from like close to me.

2:18 So, I've been talking to him. He's loving it. Uh he's more touring the South. I did Chicago. And I think it's more like because in Europe, we have a lot of um rather negative news about the Americans in the last 5 years. Let's say that. And I think we are all enjoying like the fact that this country is so great to visit. The people are amazing, so welcoming. The culture is amazing. It's like Europeans are getting a new view of America right now. I think through also through our continent. That's cool. I think >> so. This has just been so great, right? Because it's like they're seeing places like Waffle House, which I know that's that's down by you in Florida, right, Charlie? Waffle House. We don't have those really up by me. Bies, >> and and they're falling in love with how big and like the the facilities are, the

3:03 offerings, the the meals, and so on. And it's like I've seen a lot of people say this online and I totally second it which is wait till you get a load of our diners. Wait until you get a load of like the corner bar, the corner pub, Charlie Cook, that's your favorite place. Like the real America too. Like once you dig a little deeper has all that charm and more. And the the testimonials about the people have been so great. Just how friendly they are. How they Americans they make eye contact. They offer to help you if you ask for directions. They they'll walk you to the next spot. There was a French guy being like, "This does not happen in France." Uh, trust me. So, it's it's such a feel-good moment, Charlie. >> Yeah. So, I I love this because this is how I feel, of course, as well. But the

3:50 thing that I like the most about it is less that Americans who didn't like America to start with is seeing people like America. uh they should have already known but that the Europeans who are coming here are having the propaganda they've been sold wiped away. I couple of weeks ago was in New York and we took the kids to the Statue of Liberty in Ellis Island and there's this plaque there and it has a story on it of a woman from Russia and uh she said that when she went up to a cop when she first moved to the United States, she was shocked that he didn't hit her because they'd been told in the Soviet Union uh that that's what American cops would do, right? It was supposed to be this sort of barbaric place. And it's not quite on

4:35 that level, but I really must implore Americans to understand that what Europeans are told about America all the time by the news, but also by entertainment is relentlessly negative. It bears no resemblance to what America is actually like, to what Americans are actually like. And so when the German guy in that clip says, you know, what we have heard in the last 5 years is very negative. Yeah, it will have been. it will have been everywhere. And then to come to the United States and see what it's actually like uh must be absolutely astonishing. In one way, it must completely rewire your worldview. I I saw an English guy on Twitter yesterday who ended up in an American hospital. I don't think he did anything stupid, but he just he needed to use a hospital while he was here. And he was amazed too

5:22 because I think what he'd been told is either we don't have any or that they take your credit card when you walk in and you know all everyone in there uh is is sort of corrupt or redneck. I don't know what he thought but but he said it was a really nice hospital. I had a really it's a really good visit to the hospital and I thought well yeah cuz you're in a very technologically advanced innovative rich country uh which is actually ahead of most of Europe uh in its technology in medicine. So, it's just great to watch this because the only way you can really get past all of that negative propaganda is to come and visit yourself. >> You know, Rich, it's kind of reminding me um just because I'm in the middle of this, I I for for some reason I decided to order and read the autobiography of

6:08 Katherine Hepern. Um I just always thought she was cool and I wanted to know more about her. She was born in 1907 and uh she was one of six, second child, was raised in Connecticut where I live now and was the daughter of a suffragette like remembers actively campaigning for women to get the vote. Anyway, she came up at a time that wasn't great, I would say, versus today for women, you know, like she didn't quite have the same right. She couldn't even vote. Her parents, her mother couldn't vote when she was a child. >> Zero complaints. Mhm. >> She had an attitude which I've been talking to Doug about like every page is like life is so amazing. It's so exciting. There's so many opportunities >> and she loved Connecticut. Love love love love. I love the change of seasons

6:54 too. But it's like she she talks about it like all the things that are so beautiful about it. And sometimes you need that reminder, whether it's from a book like this or our German friend or the people from France, what have you, >> of how lucky you are just in the amazing gifts that are all around you just by virtue of the fact that you won the lottery and were born in the United States of America. >> Totally. This guy Freddy, what a trek he's on. He was he was posting videos yesterday of getting a tour of the Artemis rocket. I mean, someone's going to make a movie about the guy. It's it's unbelievable. But yeah, there's they're they're stunned, especially given, as Charlie points out, what they hear from the European press, which is all guns, violence, you know, things they don't like about Trump to come here in this land that's so abundant, that's so open, that's so convenient, that's so

7:41 friendly. And you're so right that none of us created any of this really. Some of us have done our little bits, you know, across our careers or whatever, but it was bequeathed to us by being Americans, right? And one of the most depressing things about the country last week or two, we've had this polling, this NBC poll over the weekend. It shows pride in the country. People are extremely very proud of America is down, I think, a new low 56% if you had those two categories up. And the the Democrats numbers are just in the toilet. You This kind of goes back to the Michelle Obama conversation. You should just be so filled with gratitude for being here in this country at this time and place. And if it takes Europeans coming over here and discovering free refills and that

8:26 you can actually get ice in your soda to to remind us of it, so be it. It's a great thing. >> Yeah. Amen. It I I want to see way more of all of these guys. It's just a great reminder. And I love the things that they're pointing out because they are great. You know, it's like it is amazing. You go to the Waffle House, like whatever your h heart desires, it's right there. and the all you can eat buffets. It's like you could keep going. And honestly, for me too, having spent the last 17 years in Manhattan. So many wonderful little shops less thanks to Delasio and now Mom Donnie. It's really I can't blame mom Donnie. It was really Bill Delasio tried to ruin New York. But those momand pop shops, those small delies, the bakeries, the small shops

9:12 that you know the shopkeepers put up, whether they're bookstores or clothing stores, just so much charm, so much character. Uh I love that stuff about our big cities as well. We don't we don't have the European age uh in terms of the buildings and so on. And not all of our modern architecture is that beautiful, but man, we have culture galore and it's it's ours. It's uniquely ours. Thanks for watching this clip. If you're new here, subscribe. We got a whole lot more goodness where that came from. Would love to hear your feedback. You can email me, too.

9:58 going to talk about it and respect. No BS, no agenda, no fear. For the first time since World War II, our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic product. America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us. Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses, and higher interest payments on the national debt. Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.
