00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: of the strong moments in your life, right, Like you

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: don't necessarily remember the the every day, but you remember

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: like those family holidays and what you did and family

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: vacations and just getting together as family. I was so

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: important to me growing up and I continue to see

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: is so important. And those holidays are those market points

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: when we can do that. So I always think for

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: the July is like a simple one, right, what do

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: you do? You probably just grill burgers.

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: And hot dogs, hot dogs and you hang out to

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: firework somewhere. My mom, dad, my brother, and I when

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: we were younger, we would go down to the Cotton

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: Bowl in Dallas, Texas, down at the fairgrounds, and the

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl would have a massive kind of all day

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: thing and then a huge fireworks display. We were too

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: poor to go inside, so we would sit in the

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: parking lot. My dad would drive us down there. We'd

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: sit in the bed of the truck outside the cotton Bowl,

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: and you would miss some stuff. You could see, you know,

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: lights and things going on inside. But eventually the fireworks

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: show would be above the cotton Bowl and we'd watch it.

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: And we did that for years, and I just loved it.

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: It was you know, you just you remember those things

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: because you look around in your mind's eye now and

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: you see your mom, your dad, your brother and just

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: being together. And or we'd go up later, we'd go

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: up to Flagpole Hill there in Dallas, Texas, was right

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: by my house, and you could kind of a high

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: point in Dallas. You could see all around and see

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: a bunch of firework shows. But I always remember being

45
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: with family, homemade ice cream, you know, someone cranking the

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: ice cream machine and making some good vanilla ice cream

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: and hot dogs, hamburgers, just being with family, and that's

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: a good thing.

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: And by the way, I am very proud and happy

50
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: to be from America. I saw statistic the other day

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: about how much that pride is going down with younger people,

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: and I think, especially when you travel the world or

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: like you look at you know how many people are

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: trying to come into America and live here. It's a

55
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: reminder like there's a reason for that. This is a

56
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: great country to be from. We enjoy so many incredible

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: freedoms here. Yes, as you said, we're not perfect right now,

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: but I always believe in hope and hope for the future.

59
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: And I think instead of being like angry at our country,

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: it's like get involved and try to do something to

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: make it better because it's an amazing place to be from.

62
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm just very grateful and I don't know

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm feeling. I think holidays are also always a good

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: time to just like reflect, for take a second to

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: reflect and be like grateful and live in the present.

66
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Moment am into that and just you know, public service.

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: We're just going to say it. Don't like the fireworks

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: in your hands. Oh God, don't be the person that

69
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: is on the news. Just don't. Just don't be safe.

70
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600
