chicago nice okay here we have it the liberty bell it was one of many relics of the revels
74
by giving the name the Liberty Bell.
75
And what do we say when we say all men are created equal?
76
That includes the enslaved.
77
The bell gave the American people a purpose that maybe just independence didn't confirm.
78
This bell became something more than it began with.
79
And the irony is we have people here for the World Cup.
80
The irony is that if we weren't wearing our t -shirts or our Croatia jerseys,
81
I couldn't tell where any of you were from.

You want a symbol for liberty throughout the world?

It's a cracked bell from 1752.

The Amish are in town.
116
They're selling stuff, so you're good.
117
Thank you so much.
118
Oh, look at this.
119
This is Ritten Island Square.
120
Nice part of town.
121
The Amish are here.
122
And you can see this woman over here is Amish with her bonnet.
123
And so the reason why so many Amish came to Pennsylvania is because William Penn,
124
the founder of the state created a place of true religious freedom
125
and incentivized the Amish to come from Europe
126
because he knew there are fantastic farmers
127
and that's what they did they came in droves went out
128
to Lancaster County Pennsylvania rolling hills beautiful farmland set up shop
129
and now they've multiplied there's a ton out
130
there today in many also in Holmes County where i've made quite a few amish videos
131
but what a place look at this let's see
132
if we can talk to one of these guys how you doing sir good how's
133
it going good good nice morning yeah can i record all this is
134
that okay sure okay as long as i keep working
135
i don't lose too much are you uh are you old order new order yes old order
136
so steel wheels on the carriages keeping it real
137
so you guys come in here for the farmers markets
138
and how's it working out really good it's incredible just love it bringing the joy into the city fantastic
139
so pennsylvania is a great agricultural state not far from here you know fruits
140
and vegetables grown a lot of small farms organic stuff got
141
blueberries plums strawberries pies amish pies are the best in my opinion a lot of foreigners
142
when they come to the u .s
143
and we see a lot right now with the world cup
144
you know they see taco bell they get excited about all the chains
145
which i guess a lot of them are new to them
146
but what many don't know is we do have a thriving food world here with good natural products
147
and a lot of craft and heart and soul put into things like homebrew
148
or fresh baked pastries or just really good organic vegetables
149
and that's my old school vermont hippie side coming out right now where i really love
150
that stuff i'd love to see that
151
so you're not seeing any of the jerseys over here we got the game tonight we're gonna go check
152
that out not get in it
153
but get into the environment get around the stadium see what
154
that energy is like but this is old money up here
155
so we're roughly 10 minutes from where we started
156
and this is more of a residential philly more of a lived here for generations type philly
157
there's a great vibe in this city and look at these old beauties so much cool architecture here
158
just think really not
159
that long ago this country is three lifetimes old that's just wild to think of it's
160
when benjamin franklin
161
and thomas jefferson adams
162
they were all walking these streets figuring out what the country
163
is going to be how it's going to be different from
164
leaving the monarchies of europe giving independence to the people
165
and creating a place where really anyone can become american
166
there are a few countries in the world where someone could truly become
167
that identity but if i move to china
168
or japan no matter how well i speak the language never going to be chinese
169
or japanese doesn't mean they won't take me in
170
but the identity of america that's something new in human history where
171
if you're a citizen you're a citizen doesn't matter where you're from what you look like
172
this beauty i mean you can just walk these streets and run into this stuff left and right
173
listen to that get silent no more noise from the streets just a few fans wow what a beauty
174
this place is great little village feel to it
175
which is storefronts i'm sure some great restaurants out here even
176
some old school stuff like acm quality paints lee's hardware that's what you want to see in these neighborhoods
177
that some of the old school guys and old businesses can still make it I can't imagine the price of these places.
178
You know what?
179

181
Rain's not stopping anyone.

190
and it has such a unique feel to it philly the architecture is all over the place
191
you know you have all that finance over there all the men high up in the suits, big businesses, but then this historical element to it,
192
which really makes it special.
193

211
we still continue to put our best foot forward
212

213
so many people continue to come here for those
214
that don't know what is
215
so special about philly what is the vibe it's the people it's yeah it's bigger than like the nice buildings
216
that we have and being america's first there are lineages of people
217
that you could just never get anywhere else like this market for example
218
this place is 33 years old right most of these places are family run generations
219
of family no way what's the story with this market
220
i just walked in a bunch of food used to come right in here oh the trains oh

284
Malcolm, born and raised in Philly. For sure.
285
How's it going right now?
286
It's going.
287
Just doing a little Uber today.
288
It's a World Cup going on, so it's a lot going on in the city.
289
OK, so what have you been doing, Malcolm?
290
You got your own what?
291
A luxury designer brand called Savage Series 8.
292
Got New York Fashion Week coming up in September.
293
Nice.
294
You wearing these clothes?
295
Yeah, this is actually one of my sweatsuits.
296
This is 101, custom made.
297
Nobody else got this.
298
Do you think I could get away with wearing that?
299
Could I pull that off?
300
Yeah, you got style.
301
You got style.
302
You're being nice, Malcolm.
303
I got a black shirt on and some dorky shoes.
304
But you love your city?
305
Of course, for sure.
306
I was born in the inner city, so that's even more of a way to see how
307
Philly have grown in so many years.
308
It's unbelievable to even see it because this is such a hustle type of mentality city.
309
The grit, the culture.
310
So we're cruising to North Philly right now.
311
It's got the bad reputation, right?
312
Or it depends where you're at.
313
It depends where you're at.
314
Because so many people from outside the city is coming to New York.
315
Different people from outside the city is coming to move here.
316
They're building something over there now.
317
They're building new stuff.
318
Oh, yeah.
319
Growing up in the city, to get to a point on some sense of happiness is far -fetched
320
because the outlets of resources are not a wide range versus the subway part.
321
even a lot of schools that got closed down, like a lot of public schools that got closed down in Philly.
322
Okay, but I was asking you off camera why you're so positive.
323
Yeah, because like, coming from a city like
324
Philly, where so much like, it can seem like crabs in a barrel mentality, you gotta have the positive because that's what keeps you going.
325
It's something to look forward to when accomplishing a goal.
326
That's where I like positivity, it helps.
327
Versus looking on the other side like, damn, somebody's sticking on the street or somebody got a needle in their arm.
328
And it's just so much to have in North Philly
329
so growing to know fully when you're having that positive spirit or positive mindset can help
330
malcolm are you going to go off the clock
331
and cruise you want to do that let's go it's completed there we start rating let's go
332
fishtown is that way fish down that way so

336

You just never know what's going to happen.
434
I look at it as like, doing Uber is already an adventure in itself.

479
it's a family out here it's almost like country living in

so she's got to close her blinds just so i know she's safe
491
because i live there and she lives there yep and

499
so he knows the rules exactly what are the rules the
500
rules are don't be an you know what i mean to your neighbors don't
501
Don't be ignorant.
502
That's right.
503
Look out for each other.
504
You know what I mean?
505
Right.
506
If you're gonna have stuff, keep it up.
507
You want some good videos to go down there?
508
You know what I'm saying?
509
I'm going to Kensington right now. Are you?
510
Yo, be careful though.
511
Yeah, watch your back.
512
Watch your back down there.
513
Love what you guys got going on here.
514
Thank you.
515
Thank you.
516
The Pearson Square Park, I know that place.
517
Have a good one.
518
You too.
519
Thank you.
520
Dude, that was awesome.
521
It's like its own world down there.
522
We call Philly its own country a little bit.
523
Yeah, right?
524
Straight ahead is the K &A Zombieland if you want to go there.
525
Let's do Zombieland.
526
Okay.
527
Because I haven't been there.
528
I did a video there almost two years ago.
529
And I was with a guy that's bringing kids off the streets through boxing and religion.
530
And I liked his mission as in he's trying to help the place.
531
And I want to see what it's like two years later.
532
There you go.
533
This is every day.
534
Jeez, man.
535
So kids just got to walk through this stuff.
536
Yes.
537
Yeah.
538
So imagine, how can you behave from seeing all this every day?
539
No, it's a heavy energy here, obviously.
540
Okay, so why do you think the city has not fixed this issue?
541
Like, they're not going to allow this to happen in other parts of the city.
542
I mean, people are doing what they're doing.
543
How can you stop when people are doing what they're doing?
544
Well, you stop it by not allowing it on the street.
545
So, for example, I'll get pushback.
546
Someone will say, well, hey, don't put him in prison.
547
I understand that argument.
548
I think you need therapy.
549
Or prison, right?
550
You need treatment.
551
You need psychiatric therapy.
552
I mean, it's just not humanity.
553
Like, they're just on Fent nodding off.
554
It's awful.
555
That's the weight of the train.
556
Holy sh...
557
It's unacceptable.
558
Okay, so my point is this.
559
You gotta get people out of this environment.
560
This isn't compassion.
561
Right, look at that guy
562
In the wheelchair
563
In front of the health center
564
Yeah, in front of the health center, there you go
565
What a shot Jeez Get him off the streets, right?
566
I've met guys that went to prison
567
That said that was the best thing for me
568
Because I got out of the drugs to see how messed I was And I'm not saying that's the answer
569
But because they can't take him off the streets
570
Then you get this
571
Which is just like
572
highly unsustainable we're circling around here
573
but i'm just trying to understand the strategy here of this city is it like just contain
574
it to this one area and let it rip
575
i mean i don't know that part i don't think nobody in the way answer for that
576
yeah how do you want to get on that line imagine going on the train here
577
We can park right here.
578
Back away from you right here or we can get out and...
579
You can wait if you want.
580
I'm sure you do.
581
I'll be quick.
582
You know, you gotta move quick with the camera in the sub.
583
geez these guys musing over there city of philly whoever has
584
the power to do something time to get to work
585
because two years ago it was like this and you can see needles in between the tracks
586
what's up you guys you guys live in the neighborhood yeah how is it right now
587
um very easy like if you live in here i mean it's all right
588
but like a lot of a lot of It's rough, huh?
589
I mean, walking by all the drugs every day.
590
Yeah, and there's all these needles on the floor.
591
Needles on the floor.
592
Okay, what would you say to the city leadership if you could speak to them directly?
593
What would you say to them?
594
Camilla Harris, get your shit out of here.
595
Because this shit is insane.
596
How y 'all got birds and everything past Gerard looking clean, and y 'all got this shit looking a mess.
597
Fix this shit clean
598
and then y 'all make
599
it unnecessary y 'all got contractors working out here doing a
600
piece of job in these streets like I really don't understand but
601
I just hope everything you have to watch out for yourselves alright take care of yourselves
602
yeah guys this is yeah that was gross huh that's nasty
603
so puffed up beyond belief because it doesn't have to be
604
that way this needs a lot of energy a lot of
605
people are helping right a lot of people are feeding people
606
a lot of people are trying to get people off the streets we got it
607
but it's more of a legislative thing you need government to actually come in with some muscle
608
and be like okay this doesn't work we're actually going to enforce the law.
609
You can't do FENT on the streets with kids walking around.
610
You're going to go to rehab or treatment or you're going to prison.
611
I don't know another option really to be honest.
612
That's the best thing I can come up with.
613
I'm oversimplifying it but I've never seen a place on this planet, 85 countries that I've been to, with less humanity than that.
614
Doesn't mean there aren't people really trying but energetically it's...
615
Do you feel it at all or no?
616
Or you're immune to it at this point.
617
Yeah, it's something to be numb to.
618
Immune.
619
It's just normal.
620
Right.
621
It's been normalized.
622
So people from Philly wouldn't think twice about it unless it's like it has to be like the mayor,
623
like the woman like one of the other woman said it.
624
She said it's the mayor.
625
Now, it was a point in time when the mayor did get into office.
626
That street was probably clean of people and trash for about a couple days.
627
And then, you know, people went back out there.
628
Now, she was right.
629
People was, it was cleaned up but it wasn't for that long.
630
And it's crazy.
631
Not long ago, these were blue -collar jobs, working at the factories, working -class neighborhood.
632
And I also want to mention, you guys, I'm showing you the nice part, Rittenhouse Park area, and then the hardest -hitting part, Kensington.
633
There's a lot of middle class.
634
When you fly into Philly, it's suburb after suburb after suburb after suburb.
635
And not showing that today.
636
So it's not like there are just these two extremes.
637
It's most in the middle, actually.
638
But we're staying in Philly today.
639
Outside of Philly, there are neighborhoods that are way nicer than Rittenhouse Park.
640
There are a lot of standard, you know, classic Americana housing developments for as far as the eye can see.
641
From this bridge right here, you're going to start seeing the differences with the housing, cleanliness of it.
642
It's just going to look different.
643
It just totally changes.
644
Yes.
645
So now we're going into the direction of Fishtown.
646
Like, Edelnees' new apartment over here.
647
Right.
648
That's wild.
649
Over there on the left side.
650
Yep.
651
So this wasn't like this long ago?
652
No. This was pretty run down?
653
Yes.
654
Like you'll say, right there on that brick wall, that yeah where the graffiti is at yeah
655
that's how it was looking like even these buildings right here
656
next to it is uh new the streets are clean totally different reality
657
and you can see on the right side that's how you look before right
658
and you'll start seeing a lot more buildings getting built like new residential townhouses to luxury apartments
659
so these probably like minimum 3 000 there's delaware avenues
660
and the river's right over there right yes okay
661
so that's the draw nice waterfront
662
this place took off huh you'd be surprised how fast they built a lot of
663
that took a couple years another philly staple
664
thank you so we went cooper sharp cooper sharp cheese light onion you know we forgot what's
665
that that was behind the counter that she told us ketchup we forgot the ketchup
666
but hopefully this is one of my favorite cheap take places
667
oh wow on a seated roll seated roll look at that mouth on nice look at that oh yeah see
668
Let me ratio to the bread.
669

670

675
Del Rossi's can't miss.
676
And so the bread, they make their own bread, right?
677
Tastes like it.
678
And the bread's what helps the cheesesteak, too.
679
Like, mm -hmm.
680
I would have automatically know this is going to be a good cheesesteak because the bread is soft.
681
Oh yeah.
682
This is the best one I've had.
683
I did a cheesesteak last time.
684
It was good but this is fire.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
