Trust me, I had to cut a ton of footage and this was the shortest I could make the video. After nearly a decade of my life devoted to this channel, we finally approach a little place I call "home." - Thanks to all my best friends and Fellow USA Geograpeeps that helped with this video, and hope you have a HAPPY 4th of JULY! ENJOY the #USA Episode!

The longest episode yet
Hi 30 seconds ago
Happy 4th of July!
FINALLY!!!!!
I can't believe barbs flew all the way to the United States just to record this video, what a dedicated guy.
How did he uncover so much information about such a large and complex country? He must've done a lifetime worth of research!
It's such an isolated country! Who would've thought it would be easy to travel and document that place?
@@Zylork0122 I know right! Tbh I'm surprised it even managed to survive when it's so small and weak. A miracle ✨️🙌
technically, he would still have to fy ALL OVER the US... that is a HUGE task. I've driven across the US coast to coast 5 times... and up each coast around 10 times. I have lived in 10 different states and visited as many places as possible... I have still not seen most of the thing in the US.
Very good
Wow I’m impressed they found real Americans to include in the video, respect
Imagine how many of them could have been Canadians...
lol
Barbs......... The US does use the metric system........... It's not just limited to science, but that's who use it mostly. We have 2 official systems of measurement.
@@Slowdowndummy yeah.... they use 9mm all the time at schools huh
yeah, i coulda sworn we had all shot each other by now.
Honestly, it sincerely warms my heart to finally see someone not just mindlessly dunk on my country but actually praise it and remind us all why our country is so great. Yes, we are far from a perfect nation, any American will admit that, but we are still a great and influential nation that has brought many excellent things into this world, and more than anything else, it's home, and I think it's only fair to have a place in your heart for home.
Literally got teary eyed at the scene with your momma and you holding up our American flag 🥲just knowing she so embraces her new homeland and came here to provide you with the life you've dreamed for yourself is so touching and heart-warming!!!
where was this? I missed it
America is a clogged toilet of electioneering, corporate interest, and corruption.... too bad because it's a nice piece of land otherwise.
@@amritsidhu1:37
Americans must be very happy when their relatively unknown country finally gets the recognition.
Actually, we are sitting here waiting for our states to be mentioned. Haven't heard Pennsylvania yet!
Actually I almost skipped this one because of fear from the back lash, negativity and over all crap that might be found in this comment section.
@@laurahildebrand7023True. Hoes do be mad about America existing
@@dillonakaeduardo1732 Pennsylvania? Is that some kind of geological era?
yes we get mistaken for Canada all the time when traveling abroad lol
My fellow Americans, after eight years of waiting, our time has come
🇺🇸🎈🎉🎊🎆🇺🇸
Our time has come!!!!!
I'm not American.... BUT
USA!! USA!! USA!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've been watching since the China episode. That was a long time ago.
Zambian still got to wait a bit
It was a surprisingly fast-paced video for a 1 hour episode. This is a love letter for America. So patriotic, but well grounded and down to earth. Congrats! Really loved your video.
As an Indian, if there's one thing I want India to learn from USA, it is the insane amount of documentation of anything. United States is one of, if not the most well-documented countries in the world. Literally look up any American school, college, incident, company, landmark or personality on Wikipedia and see how long and well-written the page would be. Meanwhile we feel ashamed of reading our own language and rely on English instead.
There are also several other things I'd want India to learn from USA, such as openly acknowledging its problems instead of relying on whataboutism, or not littering and spitting everywhere, or having state flags. But those things are not exclusive to USA and can be found in most developed countries around the world.
Ooh, I'd love to see the states of India get their own flags!
Yeah, in America you can dox someone in under 10 minutes with entirely legally available documents
I am a history student (non academic) and I must agree with this that most part of Indian history is so poorly documented.
BASED Hollywood.
@@NazmeElahi fr. And India has some of the best history on earth
I love how this episode captured how different and diverse Americans may be in attitudes and opinions, but still emphasizes that we’re Americans at the end of the day 🇺🇸
Well said!
America is a continent & an American is from the Continent of America!
The proudest American invention, which the entire world has benefitted from for over a century and will benefit from for centuries into the future, is the National Park system. There are more than 6000 national parks across the world, 424 of which are located in the US, all beginning with Yellowstone National Park in 1872.
agreed. we do an amazing job with national parks.
The National parks are one of the best things about this country. Especially those in Cali imo.
I remember a while back the National Parks Service used the slogan "America's Best Idea" and you know what? They might be right.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721
America’s most underrated good idea, I’d say
Absolutely! And it’s all thanks to Teddy, a true leader and hero of American history
As depressing as it can be witnessing a lot of the divisions and animosities and changes happening in America, this really put into perspective a lot of the awesome beautiful things that exemplify what being an American is about. Thanks for reminding me why I love being an American 🇺🇸
Well-said!
Get them together in the same room and away from the internet they'll probably get along just fine compared to through the News lens or social media. Some of our perceptions are just there because we're both in separate places dealing with things from points of view without talking to each other.
Though social media is partly problematic because it's a technology that doesn't function on how humans talk to each before it existed. This is why messaging apps and group chats may work. But platforms like Twitter and Facebook or threads don't perform well UI well when it comes to conversations. they may be good for announcements and thoughts on subjects. But ask anyone on those platforms to have a long discussion. And their pretty much useless. Threads is also turning into a platform for people just to comment on Twitter. Due to the events that were unfolding right when it was released.
This the functionality and performance of these platforms is more reliant on outside factors then the platforms themselves.
America is a *huge* continent. Plus, an American is from the Continent of America!
I teared up a couple-few times during this. Not normal for me, not ashamed I did. Well made lads and lasses, very well done.
The fact that he had over 4 minutes of American Footage shows that he really likes he’s fellow Americans
It’s also just to show off how diverse our geography and climates are
He’s not American.
@@anonymoususer8895you
Good bro?
1:03:57 - 1:05:02 As an American (19M), I feel like the people of my country really need to hear this right now. We live in a time where more Americans than ever truly believe that the US is doomed and a country with nothing to be proud of. I have seen it online and in my own friend circles from both sides of the political spectrum. What Barbs says here really puts the "United" in United States and brings the optimism that we need in order to move forward into a bright future.
Love the United States from Australia

Love from India 🇮🇳 🤝
@@User-hz5vzI love india 🇮🇳💞 of an south American 🌎🥰
Dude, he wasn't lying when he was saying America loves the Aussies. WE LOVE THE AUSSIES!!!
As a Moroccan-American, thank you for adding Morocco was the first country to recognize American independence!
🇺🇸❤️🇲🇦
Quite a disappointment to discover you were first. We've lived for decades thinking we were the the first ones. But it's okay. I'm still fine with the idea the Dutch Republic being one of the bigger sources of inspirations next to Napoleonic France and the UK for the American Declaration of Independence and how the state should function.
@@koninkrijkdernederlanden8711sorry to disappoint you further but Napoleonic France had nothing to do with inspiring the Declaration of Independence. Might be getting those two flipped.
Yeah either Morocco or the Ragusan Republic based in Dubrovnik in modern-day Croatia but there are no official sources for that so I’m sticking with Morocco for now.
I had no idea, might have something to do with our fight with the Barbary pirates, respect to Morocco
Taiwanese here. Extremely thankful for the US. Taiwan is also a close ally of the US, despite not having formal diplomatic ties. Taiwanese people also can travel to the US visa-free (and Americans to Taiwan visa-free as well). In fact, Taiwanese Americans contribute a lot to both the tech and entertainment industries of both countries.
We love you guys! Love from USA 😁
Chiang Kai Shek was a military dictator. Also if it was so "free", then why was the Taiwan Communist Party banned for decades?
We love you all 🇺🇸❤️🇹🇼
The US may not officially recognize Taiwan as a country but all Americans know Taiwan is its own country 🇺🇸❤🇹🇼
Love from across the Pacific 🇹🇼🤝🇺🇸
It took me weeks to get through this but I loved it all. Now I'm rewatching the intro segment and, for some reason, tearing up. You've done something quite incredible here. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.
"The lost children of the world" thank you for speaking about each culture and its history. Makes me feel more connected to the U.S. 🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮
What country flag is that?
That's our US Virgin Islands@@lilprinter613

Let me take a moment to thank Theodore Roosevelt for establishing the national parks service and helping to preserve a lot of this beauty.
Theodore Roosevelt is USA personified
Teddy Gigachad Roosevelt
FYI, it was Ulysses S Grant who established the national parks, and Benjamin Harisson who established the most. Roosevelt is was the one behind national forests, not national parks.
@@slade7490 We don't talk about Harrison
@@DudeTotally1000 why? Because of Wounded Knee?
seeing how detailed each country spotlight has gotten as of late, barbs should do longer redux vids on the earlier countries when hes done with the last Z country
I totally agree, but first he should finish the alphabet lolz 🤭
As an Australian I couldn't agree more
While I totally agree, I think the team needs a little break for a bit before remaking the earlier episodes. They deserve it ❤
I also think that! As an Italian, I'd say that the episode of my country was very condensed compared to similarly sized and culturally diverse nations that he has done recently. Especially because of the insights he has recieved lately from people actually from the country he is talking about, his videos have become much more interesting.
His China Video was too lacking for me.
As someone born and raised in Hawai'i, watching this video was the first time I actually felt proud to be American. Great job guys!
Hawai'i is still under occupation
Oh look I found my fellow Hawaiians!
@@MuddafukhingdisKUSTno , it isn't
@donovanlocust1106 Ooh yeah you're right, an independent island kingdom in the pacific just magically became part of the US and nothing happened.
@MuddafukhingdisKUST I know how it happened. I'm not stupid. My point is , that you are Americans whether you like it or not.
Intro turned me American.
It's good to learn about these unpopular countries. I've never seen anyone talking about USA, good job Barbs keep going ❤ from Qitzikwaka

As a Laotian-American, a member of the first Laotian family to immigrate into the state of Georgia, I would say that the US is really diverse place, both landscape and people-wise, filled with a culture that many people across every corners of the world tend to fall in love with.

@@matthewphanmanee8102 have you ever seen King of the Hill?
After you finish with the countries of the world you should do separate, in-depth videos for each of the U.S. states. I know you did an "in-between" episode of all the states a little while back but I'd love to see each state get its own video. :)
I love being American 🇺🇲 There are flaws here, and at the same time, there is so much good, and so much opportunity to experience life in all its richness
Flaws everywhere !
Yes I agree
I wish I was american 🇺🇸 (i'm mexican :/ )
From a 6 minute video on Afghanistan to a 1 hr 5 min special on the US, great to see the channel grow along the way like this
Man, I remember those days.
I hope when he ends the alphabet he revisits earlier alphabet countries in a “things we missed” segment to add in information he didn’t include due to his previous time constraints to give him more content to do.
I know for my country (Canada) I’d love that because in comparison to current countries who get 30 minutes or more of coverage he missed ALOT.
Still blows my mind that Afghanistan’s video was just 6 mins
An hour long geography now episode is crazy, I’m bout to get comfortable
Typical yank self indulgence
it was worth every second !!
Can I say how much I love, love, love this video? Aside from the fact that I got choked up just watching the introduction, I appreciated it's thoroughness, honesty, and patriotism. Our country is not perfect, but nevertheless we are incredibly blessed to live here. My kids and I have been fans of your channel for a while and just want to say keep up the good work! We saw it as soon as it came out and will be watching this one again since it's so good!
Hello 👋
I thought this would be my favorite episode and I was right, I loved the entire hour and five minute video, thank you for this series, I liked geography a lot before this but I now love geography with a passion today, thank you so much Barbs ❤

From Vietnam, happy the 4th of July!
The history between my country and the United States had a rough start, but now it's better than ever. In modern-day Vietnam, most people have a positive view about the United States. The US is often the biggest export market of Vietnam. Many young Vietnamese people dream of education and opportunities in the US. The US has donated a lot of vaccines and funding to help Vietnamese people through the pandemic, just one example on how American technology has shaped the modern life here.
I have chances to talk to many friendly Americans, they are great people! Some of my relatives are US citizens. Always hope the relation between Vietnam and the US will grow stronger and stronger.
Sending love from the United States! 🇺🇲❤️🇻🇳
Hopefully one day I can visit your country. You are completely right in saying we had a hard start but now it’s great to see that even after hardships we can stand proudly with one another. Vietnam is one of my top countries to visit on day. Can wait to see it. Have a wonderful day…
Thank you for the the kind words! I’ve always had a deep respect for the Vietnamese people. You’re some of the most smiley and hard working people on the planet! True warriors as well! Sending love from the Hoosier State!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇻🇳🇻🇳
@@alejandromorban-calcorzi3055 Thanks. You too.
Some of the loveliest people I’ve ever met were from Vietnam. I teach college courses in the DFW area, and a number of recent immigrants from Vietnam have been enrolled in my courses. They all share the same sentiments as you: a genuine curiosity and appreciation for the USA, and yes, our shared economic interests have definitely improved relations. I have encouraged many people to visit Vietnam and to see the natural beauty that exists there. ❤
America's greatness doesn't come from being great to its people, but by the ability for its people to do great things.
Well said!
@@XchampionXFTW I wish we could do both, but I'll take pride in doing one, and hope that it will facilitate the other.
Overall, really well done, and it's impressive you packed that much action into less than an hour.
The best summary that I’ve heard of what it means to be an American was from a man who had immigrated from the USSR. When he was little, back in Latvia, his father kept illegal copies of the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights under the floorboards in their home to hide them from searches. He said he would ask his father why they were reading these things and his dad said: “Don’t you understand? This is what we believe. We ARE Americans. We were just born in the wrong place. My job as your father is to get you home.”
America is a country built on ideas, not ethnicities.
WOW. That story just brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing that !!!
WOW! Nice storyline. There are always the craziest among the crazy pep. Sounds like one of those stories. A lovely one nonetheless. Cheers!
I'm a Vietnamses-American born and raised in Hawaii. Ever since I started watching Geo Now, this is the episode I've always been enthusiastic about, and boy, you did not disappoint. Thank you for making these videos to educate us about the world and our own country. You are a blessing to America. Can't wait for the Vietnam episode.
He IS a blessing to America. I am super excited about Vietnam too !! 😀

Although there is much criticism on the US today, especially regarding its politics, we cannot deny the country had and has a great influence over the world. As someone from the Netherlands I am grateful for the US for liberating parts of Europa, as well as parts of my country during WW2.
We are a hot mess, it's true, but at least we sometimes do some things right 😁
@@fs5775a hot mess with still so much opportunity as long as there’s free elections there’s hope for progress. 🙏 I love how critical Americans are of their own country yet understand how much of a blessing it is to be here

Longest episodes Of Geography Now:
1st USA 1:05:30
2nd UK 42:25
3rd Türkiye 35:30
Russia is 32:55 minutes long, meaning that that’s not the 3rd longest
Does that mean the UAE has the 3rd longest episode?
Turkey is 3rd (35:30)
UK is 47:25
So far
With everything going on in the USA today, it's easy to feel disenfranchised and jaded, but this video reminded me of so many amazing things that I have to be grateful for and proud about as an American. Team Geography Now is the hero we need AND deserve. Thank you!
I totally agree. I just found this channel and have to recommend it to my grandson. He watches channels that have under the radar divisive stuff in it. Prefer this totally.
As an American (as in the Statesian since someone out there will probably say American doesn't just refer to the US) that seen enough BS his own country has done, Barb's video was a somewhat refreshing change in seeing what amazing things there are despite whatever problems the US has.
Agreed, this is a beautiful country and no matter the politics its important to remember the identity we all share
Can you go to heaven if you die now?
The Bible says that Jesus is a true God.

As a Taiwanese person, I am constantly amazed by the significant influence that a country so distant from Taiwan can have on its affairs. The United States has played a pivotal role in shaping Taiwan's contemporary history and has had a profound impact on the world as I know it.
Beyond the realm of politics, my personal connections further exemplify this strong link between Taiwan and the USA. I have family members who have lived in the United States, numerous friends and acquaintances studying there, and I also have some American coworkers that works with me in Taiwan.
It is truly remarkable to witness the deep connections between Taiwan and the United States, a connection that extends beyond Taiwan and can be seen in the stories of countless nations around the globe.
happy 4th or July !!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tell them to get out! We Americans don’t want them here! We Americans don’t need the anti Americanism!
🇺🇲🇹🇼 God bless the USA and her allies
*Chinese
Some people think that this series will end with Zimbabwe, but I distinctly recall remember Paul saying that Taiwan will be discussed at some point after Zimbabwe. I grew up in Fresh Meadows, Queens, and my best friend in sixth grade was Taiwanese; his name was Chun-Che. Looking forward to the Taiwanese episode, God willing.
Taiwan ? You are just a democratic Chinese
The US is not a perfect country (by far), but is still my home. One of my favorite things about it is that eventhough I'm only a second generation immigrant, I feel just as American as everyone else.
America for Americans and you’re not American and you’ll never be American!
The USA must burn to the ground for its sins and rise as a holy liberal communist state
1st generation American and feel like I couldn't have been born anywhere else
I was born and raised here in the U.S. but I’ve still never felt like it’s a home. I’ve never been able to get on board with all the over-the-top patriotism and it’s hard for me to relate to anybody talking about what an American is. Does anybody else experience this? I just really want to move somewhere else if I ever get the chance.

As a Canadian, this is what I have been waiting for for years. We may talk crap about each other sometimes, but at the end of the day, I look at Americans not very differently than Canadians. The internet and playing any online game on North American (USA/CA) Servers made that even more clear. More than half of my online friends I've made over the years are American.
I spent my childhood between Montana, Alberta, and the Dakotas. The people are so similar. Serious plainsman and women, endlessly kind, courteous to a fault. Can't ask for a better neighbor.

A Hoosier(indiana) here, I just appreciate and am in awe of the community Paul and co. has and will continue to make, they are the best spokespersons of our country.
Fellow Hoosier here! Let's go, Hoosier Nation!🔴⚪️
Define Hoosier bro
@@ryankayombya7576 Fellow Hoosier here! There is a lot of dispute as to where the term Hoosier comes from. There are some accounts of it being used as a synonym for Hick or Fieldworker, basically just a derogatory term for farmers since Indiana has some of the most fertile land due to the glacial movement in the last ice age that gave us the great lakes. I have also heard that Hoosier was slang in England for "mountain people" or "people from the hills" which makes sense for the soutern half of Indiana which is topographically distinct from the upper half for the amount of hills. Hope this answered your question.
@@thedragon9326 💛🖤
I absolutely love this episode. The presentation is wonderful. And humor goes a long way in engaging the public. Being that it was an hour, I was hesitant to watch it, but then I clicked on it and you’re always so very entertaining. Keep doing what you’re doing.

As an American (who is IN THE VIDEO!!!) I just wanted to say, I'm using the geography section as a bucket list now. Thanks Barbs!
Fun fact, Colorado is also known as ‘the centennial state’ due to its founding being 100 years after the USA’s founding. And Denver is also known as the mile high city due to its altitude is a mile above sea level.
I think I started watching you around Iceland. I just have to say, you're badass for still doing it and improving on the previous episodes. I really wonder whether you'll go through the non-UN recognized nations once you're done with Zimbabwe. It would be so nice to have Greenland, Transnistra, etc covered.
I don't care about its politics, America really is a beautiful country. Love to my current home from a Filipino-American 🇵🇭🇺🇸

I love your explanation about “Could”!
You remind me of something a past literature taught me called “rugged individualism”. From what I remember it has to do with a common literary theme in American literature of how people get by through this sense of independence that also comes with the need to get rugged and work hard to get by.
Side note: I LOVE your channel and videos! My Mom is from Mexico 🇲🇽 but is split between Basque & Spanish ancestry 🇪🇸 on one side and Belgian 🇧🇪 on the other. My dad is from Brazil 🇧🇷 but has Polish 🇵🇱 and French 🇫🇷 roots on one side and Dutch 🇳🇱 and Belgian 🇧🇪 on the other. So according to my ancestry I’m mostly French and Spanish with surprisingly some Iranian 🇮🇷 Indigenous / Native (saw your video on that too!) blood mixed in too.
The point is I’m global too and I love your passion for the world 🌍
Who cares
Does it matter who cares? I can write what I want to write. Doesn’t matter if you or anyone else cares or not. Who cares about the comment you just made? Probably no one. So you could say we’re even.
I loved this video! We need more content like this to fight the angry and depressive way we've been taught to see ourselves in the recent years.
As a Canadian part of our identity is based around "not being American". But that's just nationalist BS. For all of its problems, the USA is such an incredibly accomplished country 🎉. Best wishes to the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" from up here in the "True North Strong and Free".
Thank you my friend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
We share pretty much everything. The good and bad. And that's fine. If America does shitty politics, well we also have shitty politics. Except Vietnam and Iraq. Not joining those wars was the right decision. But in terms of being next to a country, it's probably the best agreement there is. Nobody will touch this continent and we're protected. There's no more of a secure continent than North America from any sort of foreign invasion.
Respect
Love our Canadian Brothers! We appreciate you guys more than our media would have you believe!!
Im from the USA and I absolutely love Canada. Thanks brother.
I especially love these videos where Barbs talks about some small countries no one ever hears about, truly makes us know more about our world.
Amazing video barbs, couldn’t have described what it means to be American any better than that.
Proud Wisconsinite. Keep up the great work. Go America.
I also really liked Barb’s explanation of why (North) Americans care about race and identity so much, because we’re built on identities and that is just one of many
That's only a minority of North Americans, only the US and Canada do that, the rest of the countries there (the majority too, since they are more countries) don't even really care about that. Which is actually pretty sad when they are left out, since unlike Canada and the US, the rest of the countries in North America actually have a big noticeable native american population and identify, where some of them actually see them as their ancestors and stuff.
Think of it this way, imagine being left out of your own continent just because some foreigners who came that don't even have cultural connections to the land are seen as more important and valuable than you are.
@@wariomain1482This is a video about the United States, obviously it will be somewhat exclusive of other, none United states countries.
@@bigchungus1920 I was responding to the comment of the guy who specifically said "(North) Americans", he wasn't only refering to people from the United States obviously.
it's also because we know we're from somewhere in the world, so we celebrate our unique differences and culture, we want to know who we are and what our story is, it's not just a racial thing or whatever
@@wariomain1482
All due respect- He’s explaining why race and ethnicity matter so much to Americans here in the USA… As an American, I think he explains it perfectly.
Florida man here!!! Loved the episode. I love how diverse our nation is. And I love being a proud American, and specifically a proud Black-American! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Florida es México.
I been waiting for this ☺️🥺💖
Fantastic video
As usual
I cannot believe I did not comment on this when you released it 😊
I'm a proud Canadian, but if Canada is my home, the U.S. is like my grandmother's house I love to go to whenever I can. I've lived in the U.S., I have close relatives living there, I've been to about 17 U.S. states and D.C. I have a deep soft spot for this country and I hope Canada and the United States keep having a peaceful and beneficial relationship.
Also, I've watched your channel for years. I was looking forward to this episode and you didn't disappoint. :)
The US and Canada have too many common interests to drift apart or become adversaries. We’re tied at the hip, cousin!
American culture is so omnipresent in some countries outside America that you feel a little American even if you’re not.
Hello my lovely friend
Barbs and team I’ve been watching since the beginning and have been waiting for the USA episode!!! For you to include my hometown Kansas City Missouri and for our treasured Bbq was just amazing and icing on the cake to why I love your channel thank you for everything!!! ❤
I've found this channel when Barbs was going half-way through the B countries. This episode felt like the emotional clip show that tells you the series is coming to an end. If you want to shed a tear, do it now.
I have to say, as a Maltese person I always see the USA as a crazy, wild country with the craziest people with the craziest news possible (said crazy news I'll retract), but the crazy thing is how many American friends I have. All of them are vastly different in one way or another as all of them have different backgrounds (i.e one is Puerto Rican, one is Russian-American, one is from Florida). In the end as much as I love to poke fun at America and the people, you Americans are amazing.
Hey thanks! We are all over the place, a hot mess haha. I appreciate your appreciation!
As an American it’s genuinely cool to meet someone from Malta 🇲🇹 The Maltese Language is fascinating, btw
I'm from Pakistan and have been a follower for so many yrs now. There's not a lot of channels on RUclips that can claim to never MISS, and GeographyNow is definitely one of them. Having so many amazing videos incl. the 🇵🇰 episode, this is hands down the most info-taining episode on this channel.
USA has soooo much to talk about and I'm sure there must be a ton of stuff you didn't even talk about. It was fun to learn!
It was SO fun to learn! I am American and I learned *so much* from this episode too. I also think he captured our spirit and values really well ! God bless you over there in Pakistan 😁🙏
@@Jess-737 I'd love to visit some day, hopefully soon. Eventhough we consume a lot of US content from Hollywood to Music, Games, Sports and Politics but I'm sure there must be so much more to explore than what we are able to see on our screens. Heck all of my 7 yrs of professional experience has been companies associated with US as well lol.
I loved the recognition of the First Nations and the brief touching on the tumultuous past we have had. Also great job on not ignoring sensitive topics and handling them diplomatically.
I actually got teary-eyed when i saw all the island territories and First Nations being acknowledged.
Barbs I watched back near the Georgia days I first found out about ur channel because of my Georgian dad being hype about the recognition your video got. Though I haven't watched consistently for some years now I've waited long for the video of my own homeland. Thank you for doing this
Happy 4th of July USA! From the most pro-american country in the world 🇵🇭. I want to visit the US, such a beautiful country so much diversity.
Love the Philippines from your southern neighbor
🇮🇩❤️🇵🇭
Love from Texas I've been wanting to visit your beautiful country as well
We love Filipinos !! God bless you, from USA !!
@@houstonswisha143back in the day when Texas was called "Nueva Filipinas" under Spanish rule.
As an American with Filipino roots and leaning more towards the Filipino side of his ethnic heritage than any of the European sides, thank you very much.
1:00:50 That's why Brazil deserves as remake. Such a complex nation needs a more complex, comprehensive, representative and accurate episode than the one it currently has.
Let him finish the alphabet first and I’m sure he will go back and redo critical episodes
Eu hispânico, concordo muito com cê nesse proposto, primo Latino.
Same can be said for a lot of his videos on big complex countries, like China, Australia, Canada, etc
I’m curious to see what he does once he reaches the end of the alphabet
@@coyotelong4349Canada & Australia aren't complex countries . China on the other hand is very due to its history and current events and power .
agreed
Wow, the best Geo Now video. Very nice video
I’m a proud Yemeni American. I loved this episode it was great and lengthy about USA 🇺🇸. I can’t wait to see your video about Yemen 🇾🇪
There is always an American in everyone, green card or not
You are American now.
America for Americans and you’re not American!
@@ctrob8225Nah. He’s an illegal.
@@iamaloafofbread8926Nah. You’re a traitor.
