Yeah.
So I love this because this is how I feel, of course, as well.
But the thing that I like the most about it is less that Americans who didn't like America to start with are seeing people like America.
They should have already known.
But the Europeans who are coming here are having the propaganda they've been sold wiped away.
A couple of weeks ago, I was in New York, and we took the kids to the Statue of Liberty in Ellis Island.

And 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 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 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've heard in the last five years is very negative.

It will have been everywhere.
And then to come to the United States and see what it's actually like must be absolutely astonishing.
In one way, it must completely rewire your worldview.
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 needed to use the hospital while he was here.
And he was amazed too, 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,
