What does the American dream mean to you?

It's everything. If you're willing to work hard and, you know, bust your butt and do what needs to be done,

you can reach your goals and your dreams. What a pleasure to be with my friend Gloria Estefan. Gloria how are you?

I'm great and very happy to be with you my friend and very proud of everything you do and

thrilled to be a part of this. 100 million albums sold. 38 number one hits on the billboard.

Seven Grammys, Presidential Medal of Freedom

for you and for your husband, Emilio.

That's an extraordinary career. Gloria, how did you get here? You know what? I asked

myself the same question. I don't you know usually look back on all these accomplishments or things that have happened,

milestones, beautiful things that we've been able to live.

But sometimes like when you're waiting to speak somewhere and they put the retrospective and I go, wow, we've worked a lot and we've really been so fortunate.

And you never do it for those reasons.

I mean, we did music because I love it I sing since

I talk but it really is so special to receive something like the presidential

Medal of Freedom with my husband.

It was the first time it ever happened with a couple,

as was the Gershwin Awards, the first time

a Hispanic and a couple gets it together. We've had such amazing milestones and such a wonderful career and I thank always the incredible fans worldwide that have given us that privilege and that blessing. We don't take it lightly and

it's gone by very fast.

You know, just thinking of in 1975 when essentially you, you know, and Emilia were playing

Kinses and Fertas daqui and I bodes and weddings and you were so so young and yet you knew that this was your passion you're calling your your

commitment.
