Source of music, call and response.
You automatically become a part of it, but you got to see it live.
Hearing a recorded version of a Go-Go song, it don't really do nothing for you.
But if you see it live, then you can automatically embrace it.
Because Go-Go music is a live field.
You right there with it.
You right there with it.
You can't stay still.
Especially when I look around the world by me traveling so many places.
I can see that living in America has been a blessing to me.
People living in poverty.
People are poor.
People don't have water.
They don't have clothes.
They don't have food and shelter.
I'm free.
So this means a lot to me.
Whatever your dream is, go get it.
Nobody can stop you but you.
Believe in yourself, apply yourself, and be the best you can be.
This is Sugar Bear.
This is our American story.
Welcome back.

So we started this morning talking about Iran, but other things facing the nation today includes how major airports are grappling with hours-long security wait times.
Excuse me.
I turned to an NBC news article.
The headline is, Major airports grapple with hours-long security wait times and TSA staffing shortages amid partial government shutdown.
It includes William P. H. Hobby Airport in Houston was experiencing wait times of nearly three hours Sunday, federal officials said.
If you just scroll down just a little bit, it goes on to say that travel at major U.S. airports turned into a nightmare Sunday with up to three hour security wait times and a shortage of TSA workers at the start of spring break travel amid the partial government shutdown.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Lauren Biz said, We'll leave this here as the U.S. House is about to gavel in for what we expect to be a brief session today.
