These childrenβs articulate observations reflect a world where digital globalization has replaced local innocence with a precocious, media-filtered understanding of international politics.

>> What's the biggest difference [music] between America and Britain?
>> The languages.
Can I have a bottle of soda? Can I have a bowl of water?
>> Bottle of water, ain't it?
>> Can I have a bottle of water? That's a bowl of water.
>> Dang, she locked in quick. You saw she changed her exit. did so good.
>> I always wonder how they can do our accents and we can't do theirs. It's so crazy. She's probably like six years old.
>> Water.
>> She locked in. Hold on.
>> So cute.
>> A bottle of water.
>> Bottle of water.
>> How does she do?
I'm going to chuck this thing in the trash.
>> What is trash? It just sounds like >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, we did learn that they call trash bin over there. We call it trash.
>> They're deeply bothered by the fact that we call it trash.
>> Trash. I guess bin sounds more like nicer than >> Yeah, it does sound more respectable >> than trash.
>> Throw it in the bin.
>> Throw it in the bin. Yeah, put it in the bin.
>> Yeah, >> then put it in the trash, I guess.
Oh god.
>> Trash. Money is trash. It just sounds like Americans, [laughter] they always say, "Oh, I got $50 here."
>> It's a very good American accent. I like that.
>> We say potato. They say >> potato.
>> They say potato.
>> What?
>> Wait, what?
>> American because they're mental.
>> Wait. No, we don't.
>> I was going to say we say potatoes, man.
>> Potatoes. I love some baked potatoes, man.
>> The little boy was like, "What?"
>> He's like, "What?" Don't be lying to him.
I love because they're mental off the head like me.
>> That's the catchphrase. We're mental off our head like George.
>> Cuz we're crazy.
>> What's the biggest >> It's crazy how these kids learned this at an early age. They said they're crazy.
>> They're crazy. But I love them.
>> Oh, okay. Okay. This is different >> when men off our head like George.
>> What's the biggest difference between America and the UK?
>> America don't have kettles. We don't have radiators. We don't have switches for plugs. Our plugs are always on.
>> Very good answers. Do you know who the American >> I heard about that? I heard about that.
>> You're not wrong. Every plug that we own is on right now. Like everything is just plugged in.
>> Everything's plugged in.
>> The fan, the phone charger, the light.
>> Someone did tell us, check out this video about the difference in their plugs. I think they can turn like he said they they could turn theirs on.
Yeah, but that's what um not extension cords, but like some extension cords have the onoff switch button. Yeah. So you can turn it off so the power is not surging through it all the time.
>> That makes sense. Yeah, we don't have time for that.
>> No, we don't have time for that. Our power energy just just just waste throughout the day.
>> The plug of plugs are always on.
>> Very good answers. Do you know who the American president is?

>> Yeah. Cuz that's saying something.
>> Yeah. I will I will admit that we have a very stupid sense of humor.
>> Yeah. Very goofy stupid >> especially at this age.
>> But they're very witty with their sense of humor. You have to be very smart to catch on to their jokes, which I appreciate cuz >> guys, >> I know our Yeah, our our humor is kind of very stupid.

Pete and Buzz.

>> Bos has hair.
>> Yeah, Buzz does have hair down. And I loved when he had his hair flowing.
>> Y'all got to let us know. We got to get back to that Pete vibes. We definitely got to do some more Pete and vibes for sure.
>> Anything don't come off.
>> I mean, you say you don't offend him, but you call him Mr. Potato Head and you're sticking [clears throat] stuff on his head so he looks like a unicorn.
>> Do you think Joe Biden is too old to be in charge of America?
>> Nope.
>> Adult. [clears throat] >> She's a vibe.
>> The voice.
>> She is a vibe and a half, man. I can't be 99 or 100.
>> Do you think I'm an old person?
>> Um, no.
>> How old do you think?
>> Hell no.
>> 55.
>> She >> 55.
>> Epic.
>> What do you think about Trump coming back as president?
>> I don't want him to come back cuz he's orange.
>> You don't like him?
>> Cuz he's orange.
>> It's fact that they know so much.
>> Cuz he's orange.
He speaks really weirdly.
>> I mean, you sound like you're describing a lot of people from Essics.
>> I don't [clears throat] like Donald Trump as well.
>> I don't like Donald Trump. I like him the same as Boris Johnson, which is not very much. [laughter] >> I don't know who.

>> Y'all comment down below. Let me know.
Got to know what young man just said.
Something.
>> These kids are smart.
>> These kids are smart.
You're describing a lot of people from Essics.
>> I don't like Donald Trump as well.
>> I don't like Donald Trump. I like him the same as Boris Johnson, which is not very much >> Johnson. Y'all let me let us know who who Boris Johnson is. He must not be a liked person. I don't know who Boris Johnson is.

>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> That was an interesting video.
>> They're precious.
>> Yeah. And it give you kind of inside view of like how school is over there and how smart these kids are. I also think it's really impressive the level of communication they can have with an adult face to face because >> like in working in education we struggled with our high schoolers >> to communicate >> like that >> kids in America are not speaking like that. No, >> they're not comfortable enough to have conversations with adults to ask questions to answer questions to even have like a full conversation. So it's just mindblowing that they're so But they're so very like >> wellversed and confident in their their public speaking.
>> Yeah. It's like you talk to a regular adult, you know, a lot of them and just feel like they're just having a regular conversation. So yeah, I thought that was crazy just hearing them just how they conversate with each other.
>> Very impressed. And like the command of the language that they have is also so impressive >> because kids in America, granted some do, but a majority do not have that much command over the language at that age.
>> That's facts.
>> I could just keep going on and on and on about how impressive that is.
>> I It blew my mind.
>> That was very cool to watch, man. Y'all got to let us know what to check out next, man. It's your boy Tris >> and Gigi.
