00:04 There is no other industry that is centered in the nucleus of one geographic location
00:12 that has so much influence on the world.
00:14 This industry is really put together by much of North Georgia hillbillies,
00:18 and half of them couldn't read or write.
00:20 I don't really -- that's my favorite.
00:22 This is billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of information
00:26 that you don't even think of.
00:30 It is the canvas on which all the other art rests.
00:34 I did this.
00:36 This is carpet.
00:40 That's carpet, okay?
00:42 [Music]
00:44 I'm a cowboy.
00:46 They call me the Scottish cowboy.
00:48 I'm a carpet designer.
00:50 I'm a politician.
00:52 I'm a lawyer.
00:54 I'm a carpet designer.

01:09 I don't know.
01:10 Well, tell me.
01:11 I don't know.
01:12 I know style.
01:13 I've always had an eye for what looks good.
01:16 So I'm going to build a business.
01:18 Trust me, these are going to sell like hotcakes.
01:21 [Music]
01:33 The carpet industry has gotten stale for me.
01:36 I've got to have something new.
01:39 I really don't know where America is going right now.
01:43 When you look at different cultures, different countries, and empires,
01:48 most of them, the big majority, lasted just a couple hundred years.
01:52 [Music]
01:56 You know, everybody wants to go to America, you know, and live the dream, you know.
02:01 [Music]
02:05 Well, I had that dream.
