Oh, okay, because it's an American team.
Yeah, okay, that's nice.
No, but there was a figure skater in the Olympics called Michael Weiss.
Who fell on his ass.
So I think that's... How'd he do?
Well, he very badly, apparently, fall on your ass, you know, win the Olympics or get a gold medal.
So I think subconsciously I've treated that as a reason not to watch these sports competitions.
I do embrace it.
And to bring it full circle, this is one element of the Rubio speech that kind of resonated.
He talked about we're children of Europe.
And he mentioned his Spanish ancestry going back 250 years.
You know, the Scots-Irish who built the Midwest and the Germans and so on and so forth.
But yes, it extends beyond Europe now, doesn't it?
I mean, there are plenty of people from Latin America.
There are plenty of people from Asia Pacific who come to the United States and, you know, raise families who...
Their children go on to get university degrees and to become civil servants and politicians and doctors and so on.
And yes, that should be celebrated.
And it's interesting that MAGA chooses to celebrate that probably only in sort of contrast to other countries of the world.
