My win is tourists in the US uh for the World Cup. What the world is finding out
00:00:05
is that America at its core, Americans are generous, interesting, wonderful people and it's an amazing culture and
00:00:11
they're getting to see that. And then Americans are getting to see just how wonderful these nations are. I think the
00:00:17
World Cup is doing what the UN initially envisioned it would do. I think it's bringing people together. You see people
00:00:22
in Kansas welcoming, you know, these people from Norway. You see the Japanese. I think we forget that
00:00:29
generally speaking, these cultures are wonderful. People want to get along. We're not that divided. We just have the
00:00:35
most profitable companies in the world trying to divide us. >> And we have a president who's trying to
00:00:39
divide us.
