00:00:00.000We have done something deeply wrong to entire generations of people if you're not proud to be American.
00:00:04.000If your pride in America is completely dependent on who is in political office, you are doing it wrong.
00:00:15.000There is an incredibly amusing thread on X from a German soccer fan at FreddyLA7 who is going around in the American South and experiencing it.
00:00:30.000Hysterically funny because it turns out that people who actually come and experience America love it here because America is awesome.
00:01:57.000This is why when, when you hear people just ripping on America, it's typically people who have not spent a lot of time outside America traditionally.
00:02:04.000And again, this is why we need those pride in being American graphs to go up.
00:02:08.000This should not be a political matter.
00:02:10.000If you're a Democrat, you should be proud of being American.
00:02:12.000If you're a Republican, you should be proud of being American.
00:02:14.000Now, traditionally, Americans who are very proud of being American happen to be Republican.
00:02:19.000Since 2001, every single Gallup poll shows that well over 80% of Republicans say that they are extremely or very proud to be American.
00:02:32.000That was true when Barack Obama was president, it was true when Joe Biden was president.
00:02:36.000We did not become markedly less proud to be American when a Democrat was president.
00:02:40.000For Democrats, however, that changes really rapidly.
00:02:44.000So, 87% of Democrats in 2001 said that they were very proud to be an American.
00:02:51.000And then that number maintained above 70% all the way until about 2014, 2015.
00:02:57.000And then when President Trump won, it nosedived.
00:03:01.000And now only 36% of Democrats say they are very or extremely proud to be American.
00:03:52.000The world is a better place because of it.
00:03:54.000We'll get some more on this in just one second.
00:03:56.000First, you know, your biggest asset very clearly is your home.
00:04:00.000That's true for the vast majority of people.
00:04:02.000And if you've ever been the victim of identity theft in any realm, understand the worst form of that is home title fraud.
00:04:08.000It's title theft, and it's exactly as bad as it sounds.
00:04:11.000Criminals can forge a signature, transfer your property out of your name, steal your home equity all before you even know what's happening.

00:05:19.000So that's what the Trump administration is doing, according to the New York Times.
00:05:22.000There's a person named Omar Abdul Qadir Artan, a Somali referee.
00:05:28.000This person was a select, he was among a select group of about 50 World Cup referees and was detained and became another example of how U.S. immigration policy could upend the world's biggest sporting event.
00:05:37.000Now, again, We are admitting like World Cup fans who go around and see Buckies and talk about how awesome it is.
00:05:43.000But this is a bit of a different story because it turns out the reason this guy was detained is because he kind of likes terrorists.
00:05:49.000Immigration officials questioned Mr. Artan.
00:05:51.000They placed him in a holding cell and then they deported him.
00:05:53.000He had traveled from Turkey to Miami and, according to an interview he then gave to the New York Times, was deported back to Turkey.
00:05:59.000Last year, he was named the best referee in Africa by the region's governing body for soccer.
00:06:18.000Do you put that on your mantle or what?
00:06:21.000For referees, the World Cup is considered the pinnacle moment of a career as it is for players.
00:06:25.000And he said the biggest dream of his life had been snatched away.
00:06:28.000So, why exactly was he not allowed in?
00:06:29.000Well, an administration official told CBS News on Wednesday that Artan was denied entry based on derogatory information that included association with suspected terrorist group members.
00:06:41.000Well, I'm sorry that his dream of ref a World Cup couldn't happen here in the United States because just.
00:06:46.000For the, for the, you know, ancillary reason that he likes hanging out with people who are suspected terrorists.
00:07:48.000Speaking, by the way, of people that we don't need here, but who came here and we should never have let in, Ilhan Omar went after Nancy Mace yesterday, another Somali immigrant who he took in and then put in Congress.
00:07:59.000Nancy Mace, of course, was defeated in her gubernatorial run in the primaries by leaps and bounds.
00:08:48.000It turns out that we probably should immigrate fewer people to the United States who then allegedly engage in immigration fraud by allegedly marrying their alleged brother.
