    Great video brother! Thanks for replying You mentioned America is special and unique, I 100% agree with you. Shall not be infringed. Erik Prince has some cool podcasts where he talks about what makes America special. You might like them. Washington crossing the Delaware is pretty cool, I like the painting we have very little freedom in Australia, they had covid camps in 2021 were you could be sent without a trial. It was pretty bad Looking forward to the transitioning video. Only other questions I had were 1) What do you think about the migrant crisis on the southern boarder, any thoughts about why the government is doing it? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me 2) Are you worried about the government debt in the USA? It is like >110% of GDP and I don't understand why they don't cut back. Any thoughts on that?
