Well, welcome to FreightCasts. I am here with my co-host, Max Fuller. We have Matt Leffler that is going to join us here shortly to talk about what we're seeing around freight. This is July 2nd. It is the last day before the 4th. It's America's 250, Dad.

It's 250 and it's really great. It is. It does feel great. Do you think American patriotism, did you see the World Cup, by the way? I did see the World Cup and it's pretty exciting. Pretty exciting. I feel like patriotism, I feel like it was this period over the last decade and maybe over the last two decades since the Iraq War where there's been this like America guilt and like patriotism was frowned upon. But I think we're back. I think we're back. And if you look at especially how America's team is playing, it's really good.

Yeah, America's team is playing. And look, we're a warring nation. We've been at war for, believe it or not, 235 years of our 250. So, but America is great now. There has been so many fantastic memes about the referee and the red card and our player being dejected.

And a lot of American patriots are calling for B2 bombers to take out some of those refs. I don't know that that's allowed. We'll hear from Matt Leffler whether that is something that is frowned upon or accepted.
