Comedian Chris Distefano told Fox News Digital that he has never seen the pride of America since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The comedian noted that while the country is clearly still divided politically, he believes people are “exhausted” by the ongoing political conflict and may be ready to become American again.
“I think, honestly, my country now, I know it’s very divided, but I think – it’s probably because of exhaustion, if you think otherwise – I do think we’re going to work hard and try to get more together with more effort. Of course, I might have this constant feeling.

Distefano noted that the boycott of President Donald Trump’s second term did not seem to be as enthusiastic as he did during the first time.
“I mean, you look at this Trump presidency, its early stages with the last Trump presidency…I mean, people are trying as much as possible to make him scream in the streets, so screaming wildly,” Distefano said.
He went on to explain that resistance to Trump seemed to have lost its former steam.
“Yes, the first three months of his presidency were just problematic, people were trying, but there was no real professional, for example, mouth-watering because I think people were like, well, let’s be like…doing that is exhausting.

Distefano goes on to point out that America’s pride has returned in a way he hasn’t seen it in more than 20 years.
“In our country, America is more proud than I remember. I don’t feel… like this American pride, like that, like 9/11. After that. Just like after that, there’s a lot of American pride, everyone is getting together. Now I feel it again, I think it’s good.”
He clarified that having American pride does not mean that American citizens feel better than citizens of another country, but they are proud of who they are. He added that citizens of other countries should feel the same way.
I understand that the United States is on the map like every other country, but to be a better country for everyone, it is better for us. I’m not saying that America is the only one, all Xico.
Comedians about why people flock to podcasts for information

As a comedian, Distefano feels it is not his job to tell people that they should and shouldn’t vote, but what he sees and makes fun of both parties when promised.
“For me, comedian, I think we call it reality, and perception is reality. I’m in the middle, I’m Chrissy Grey-Zone, I’m America first. I’ve always been, forever, always,” Distefano said. “You know, it’s like who I vote for, to me, like a comedian, I feel like I’m number one, that’s not why I’m here. It’s not why I’m in the public eye, it’s why I’m choosing one side.
He went on to point out that one side of the political aisle had been ripping up anti-American sentiment across the country, although he did lie on both sides during installation.
“I’m going to say that over the past two years, people’s perceptions have certainly become called – I’m not smart enough to know why – Democrats are anti-American, Republicans are pro-American. That’s definitely that.” “What I’m seeing is Democrats saying, you know, ‘American is, we have all these problems, you should be anti-American, oh my god;’ Republicans say, “Yes, we have these problems, but you should be pro-American.” ”
The comedian also spoke about his views on Trump’s comments about getting Greenland and Canada, which could be the 51st state.
“I think even with Trump’s efforts, who knows whether the execution order will pass, who knows whether we will buy Greenland or Canada’s 51st state? Who will be who? Who knows, right? That’s probably what he’s talking about. But what I’m really doing is trying to re-determine the dominance of America, and it’s a privilege to us again.

He summed up the topic by pointing the American flag at a symbol of changing emotions in our country.
“I remember after 9/11, if you didn’t have the American flag outside the house, people would be like, ‘What are you, terrorists? What are you? them? Then, if you have an American flag outside the house, 20 years later, people will be like, “Are you a terrorist? What are you them? “Distefano said. “So, it flipped. Now, I don’t think it’s even going back, I just feel like it’s neutralizing what people are going to say: ‘Hey, I’m honored to be in the United States. ‘”
