0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you guys up in Chicago, your family, Yes.

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Because Chicago summertime is Chicago's the best, like May to October,

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and Chicago's summers are wonderful and we would always do

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 2>just a family barbecue, have everybody over. And you know,

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful for those times because as you as

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>you age make myself sound old, but you remember kind

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 2>of the strong moments in your life, right, Like you

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 2>don't necessarily remember the the every day, but you remember

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>like those family holidays and what you did and family

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>vacations and just getting together as family. I was so

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>important to me growing up and I continue to see

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>is so important. And those holidays are those market points

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>when we can do that. So I always think for

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the July is like a simple one, right, what do

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you do? You probably just grill burgers.

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And hot dogs, hot dogs and you hang out to

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>firework somewhere. My mom, dad, my brother, and I when

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>we were younger, we would go down to the Cotton

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Bowl in Dallas, Texas, down at the fairgrounds, and the

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Cotton Bowl would have a massive kind of all day

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>thing and then a huge fireworks display. We were too

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>poor to go inside, so we would sit in the

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>parking lot. My dad would drive us down there. We'd

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.119
<v Speaker 1>sit in the bed of the truck outside the cotton Bowl,

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and you would miss some stuff. You could see, you know,

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>lights and things going on inside. But eventually the fireworks

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>show would be above the cotton Bowl and we'd watch it.

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>And we did that for years, and I just loved it.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>It was you know, you just you remember those things

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>because you look around in your mind's eye now and

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you see your mom, your dad, your brother and just

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>being together. And or we'd go up later, we'd go

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>up to Flagpole Hill there in Dallas, Texas, was right

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>by my house, and you could kind of a high

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>point in Dallas. You could see all around and see

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of firework shows. But I always remember being

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>with family, homemade ice cream, you know, someone cranking the

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>ice cream machine and making some good vanilla ice cream

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and hot dogs, hamburgers, just being with family, and that's

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:20.839
<v Speaker 1>a good thing.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, I am very proud and happy

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 2>to be from America. I saw statistic the other day

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>about how much that pride is going down with younger people,

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think, especially when you travel the world or

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>like you look at you know how many people are

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to come into America and live here. It's a

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>reminder like there's a reason for that. This is a

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>great country to be from. We enjoy so many incredible

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>freedoms here. Yes, as you said, we're not perfect right now,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 2>but I always believe in hope and hope for the future.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And I think instead of being like angry at our country,

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 2>it's like get involved and try to do something to

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>make it better because it's an amazing place to be from.

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I'm just very grateful and I don't know

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling. I think holidays are also always a good

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 2>time to just like reflect, for take a second to

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>reflect and be like grateful and live in the present.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Moment am into that and just you know, public service.

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>We're just going to say it. Don't like the fireworks

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>in your hands. Oh God, don't be the person that

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>is on the news. Just don't. Just don't be safe.

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>But to all of you, in all seriousness, have a

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>great holiday week. I love you all, and I can't

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>wait to talk to you on the flip side, because

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>on the other side that week, we will be in Tahoe.
