spectacular possibilities of life hers . e. i really mean that. not to get all serious because i look like i get paid ine tr tequil a. but the truth is, everybody sitting here is an incredible story that's only possiblestorsn america. i'm a good example of a guy who was at one point driving a taxia gune. dresse now i'm sitting on a tv setd dressed like an affordable stripper. okay, that doesn'table happen in the wor other parts of the world. but usa, this one's for you, buu baby cali. and i said, welcome to jimmy. okay, just in case you don't really don'tt that's. that's pretty good, jimmy, right there. can i say i'm a little disappointed thau didn't t you bring the glitter thing or the sequins? it was the problem was, if i put on one of my normalut outfits, they would have absolutely thought i drank before this. and i'm nofits te vet. an i did it twice. sure. that i would. you know, i appreciatesaying i t to know how much we love this a country. jimmy and i actually coordinatend id our outfits and this is the best we came up with. i've got a declaration is t of independence. he's got the american flag. we are so happy to be here havingerican so much fun alread i mean, there's people gathered around. want to know who these people ar d aroundnge, what we're talking. we're talking about independence day. i like to say independence

, not just 4th of july. independence day has an added connotatio n. that means we fought force, independence. and it's a it's a reminder right there in the name whenrthf you celebrate 4th of july, maybe you celebrate freedoms and liberty, but you als je o o celebrate fun, which is a big part of it. independence day is how we get those freedoms., liberties secured, and we get to talk and brag about some of those people tonight to. and obviously, we love independence day because we beatt >> and w the aliens.e no that's real. oh, have to looka. that land og opportunity. it's the land where alarms go offo , but it's the land of a opportunity for someone like me, an immigrantn came to this country at a very young age,engs six years old. i mean, english was not my first language. i usedh first ge, i us to run out ofy my classroom because my english was so badenh . and look at me. here i am now.in i mean, only in america cang somethinhag like that. l how can i bring out the american point? dot english waane and yos not yt language and you speak much better english and still i think you both are good. te te

okay, well, here inm new york city, i don't appreciate them giving me this this toptopic. the world's top competitive eater, joey chestnut joe, again, but not without some stiff competition from the weather. officials calling off the nathan's hot dog eating eatg men's contest due to torrential storms hitting the coney island area. yeah, but chestnut didn't let soggy weather bloc k him fromgnn his 16th title. the reigning champ urgedo once organizers to save the contest. and he went on to once again rg take home the gold after how uring 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes. this is actually kind of funny how this all went down becauseta . like you said, there was a bigsu thunderstorm that happened. the competition was supposed to happepposed noonn at noon.f a yeah. and all of it got delayed and then allsuddat a sudden wori out that it got canceled. and then there's this picture ol of joey chestnut, and he's like, it's storming. and he like it just blows up. o a bunch of reporters said that h hee was heard saying, i'm goint to get all the guys out here. l thi'm going to do the thing.

good for him.m or and i don't know if it was him or not, but lo and behold, at 2 p.m., the contest went off. what a leader had an absolutet i leader. i mean, you put him there in the halls of, you know, n joe montana, john elway, joeyut chestnut, man, can we just like point out the obvioue pos, too? like, i love that they're pretending to care about anybody's health and atdog hot eating contest with this rain. somebody might get pneumonia, but go have 83 hot dogs in a minute. what could go wrong for your health? every year why you . i wonder, though, how has nobody else trained hard>>r. to beat the guy who made him somewhat harder? physical anomalyl anom. al you know, also what i thought was funny is i listen to a id podcastodcast couple of days agn and joey chestnut was being interviewed and he did say say t the weather does have an impact on his performance>> on hi got s he said that if it gets too hot, the buns dry out and it'sik hard to eat. if it's cold, the hot dogs with cold, it's hardan to eat. so it was perfect forecast,

to be like 82 and overcast and it rained. so he didn't do 77, which wasin his goal. but he did. he k abou did still win what youis talked about. incredible. only in america stories. anyonegut rich could do anythin. this is a guy who just got rich and famous eating hot dogs, right? it doesn't go on in the name.>> no, it's a great photo. w one the girls competitioonition. well, only in america. oh, by the way, i will. you're going to see goe the then scenes of coney island and the nathan's hot dog eating competitio hotdon at that, beca i got a sneak peek beforetest the contest started and i tooken some dogs. nice. and i love your hat thank you.ve very nice outfit. i love that i saved it. that was a solid in the top.e wk yeah, that was pretty impressive. oh, i actually thought you working at nathan's because you got the same performance review i did last week. okaylast w. g of foo comes as a relief for you. well, speaking of food, every year, the 4th of july, there's s these websites that come out with the most popular item by state. so we have all of our states. i'm new jersey and apparently baked beans are the most popular. most you're from new york. col yeah coleslaw georgia baked beans as well. i don't know i georgif. n

nothing here, so he burgers at jack in the box and sold clothes at the j.c. men'sut department just to put a roof over our heads. over. r meantime, put the right values in our heads. she taught us thhe e of prayer and the value of honesty and. but after finishinga a bachelor's degree and just two and a half years, my dad became a respected engineer at general motors, where he is finally, hopefully thinking about retiring. hat is hard work and sacrifice. that is what my parents taughtrr ,and they learned it from their parents who lost everythingo lost refugees. so believe me when i say there e isn't a day goes by that i don't think about how a little brown girl from a third world country who grew up in a very pooa veryr town, indiana, is now somehow sitting here in new york city, living her wildest dreams with my best. if you have drive, if you haveve determined action and you have

big, big dreams, there is no place better than this shiningi. city on a hill. i think about that all the time. and i am certain 1,000% and certain that every immis, nt american acros the country thinks that every single day. how proud we arear to.e here be an american and how lucky we are to be here. it's incredible and to be sone. welcomed by everyone. i love my family. what i first of all, that made me emotional is there are a bunch of people at home that are experiencing the same emotions. that's a beautifula . and we became fast friends. when you started here atfayo th were some details in there that i didn't know. soo you're covering you're on capitol hill right now. hi and you went to taiwan and you covered the ukraine. p f and you're doing such an incredible job every single step of the way. i i'm proud of you. i can only imagine how your parents feel. efully my pare i'm my parentss e are proud. but i always you know, my bosses here at forefox,x alw

give them credit. and i was always thanking them alwal them,lways tel like, you have made my wildest dreams come true. i meanmeanu talk, you talk abou, you talk about when i went i haoland, i have traveled all the world for fox and got to cover incredible storie s it' and people. and it just it's a it's a dream. it's a lifs it'e i could have r imagined where, you know, that ims the really the first. conversation we had. it was not really meaning to. but that'sreally mnd kind of tt conversation we had becoming friends. and what's so amazing about is in a place now wherewh everything you cover is through the lens of conservativeere , bo liberal, republican or democrat. but for your story and your and your understandingdemocratr country is through the lens of gratitude and pride. and i hope i hope a and know thateven t you're bringing some of that even to d.c. with the swamp as swampo they as it is to have anyone like you there who's just absolutely gratefult , call yourself an american. i hope some of that rubs off on on some of thos some trying to bring those midwestern values that i learned. and you do. and that's values right.br and thank you for saying thatin we are best friends, because
