Both the men have immigrant backgrounds, both have traveled in America and abroad, and both said they are proud to be Americans. <\/p>\n<p>Nick, whose family is Italian, said his experience traveling to other countries has helped him appreciate America. \u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege to go to other countries before, and I feel like a big part of really appreciating America is going to other countries, experiencing them, and then coming back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like we\u2019ve lost that sense of community that I have seen in other countries where they\u2019ve had that community,\u201d Nick added. \u201cBut at the same time, we\u2019ve opened up our country to all these great people from all different places around the world, and we\u2019ve built kind of a newer community, and I think that\u2019s something that is really unique to America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James, whose family is Greek, expressed similar sentiments after having traveled abroad. \u201cI\u2019ve been to France and to Iceland \u2014 not that those are bad countries, but I definitely feel the freest here,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t just international travel that has shaped Nick and James\u2019s perspectives, however. James said that his travel within the United States has made him understand the importance of self-government. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn our trip from Florida, we were driving through like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana in the woods, and we just kind of noticed how arrogant it is for some people from these big cities to talk about, \u2018Oh, we don\u2019t need an AK-47.\u2019 You don\u2019t even know what you\u2019re talking about, right? You\u2019ve never been to a place like this where you\u2019re 100 miles from civilization,\u201d James said. \u201cWe just need the government to take a step back, and people need to be able to govern themselves a little bit more.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This interview followed a different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JRmUsYPStC4&#038;t=392s\">video from July 4<\/a> that showed Crowder interviewing a couple, Fate and Laura, who had been homeless for a long time before someone helped them move from Dallas to Iowa where they could find work. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what America is supposed to always be about,\u201d said Fate, who is also black and said he doesn\u2019t care about the skin color of his fellow Iowans. \u201cIt\u2019s supposed to be looking after your fellow man.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The pair said the kindness of their fellow Americans has helped them make it through. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould you consider yourself proud to be American?\u201d Crowder asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Laura said. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Olivia Hajicek is an intern at The Federalist and a junior at Hillsdale College studying history and journalism.
