You don't realize how bad your sheets have gotten until you replace them with something good. That's why it is time to upgrade to our sponsor, bowl and Branch.

A hill I will absolutely, absolutely die on is the fact that I truly believe that the US is a lot more fun of a country than anywhere else. And I'm going to tell you exactly why. And the main reason is the fact that it's so huge. The fact that Texas is, I think, double the size of the UK is absolutely crazy to Me. And that is crazy. The fact that the US is so big, that there's just so much to do in all of these different states. You go to Texas, you got the yeehaws down there. Like it's so much fun down south. Lots of love it. Then you go to California. Let's get an iced latte at Erewhon, and let's go by the river and swim together. There's just so much difference to do. Whereas if you come to England, you go to Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, London, it's all the same, babe. It's all boring as hell. What can you do? You can. You can walk along the riverside and get a bit of chips and stuff.

Okay, so I mean, it is true that America rocks. Just go to our national parks. Our national parks are ridiculous. God blessed America with the best landscape ever. Ever. I mean, America is ideally placed. We're between two oceans, Canadians and Mexicans, and we control a gigantic land mass. Every state has something that is worth seeing. It is great. I think I've been to every state in the country except for Maine and Alaska. At this point, I definitely want to get to both of those. But every single state has something cool. She's right about that. It's awesome.

You should be proud to be an American. Proud of what?
- [05:00]
Historian or Political Analyst
Really? While Americans led in figuring out how to harness electricity, which we use every day, for example, with medical equipment. Think about how many lives are saved due to electrical, medical equipment, life support systems, emergency services, emergency communication. Oh, don't forget about the light bulb. How about the Internet, the telephone? Oh, and airplanes, gps, vaccines, the steam engine, air conditioning. Or how about the fact that we played a major role in stopping a genocidal dictator from taking over all of Europe and. And murdering millions of people, yet we played a major part in that. And we're not talking about Japan, which had the idea of ideological hegemony, which is basically them saying they wanted the unity of the world under Japanese control. We stopped them as well.

Ben Shapiro
I mean, again, the list of things that America is responsible for is basically endless. America is the transformative empire of the modern era. There's no question about it. Why would you not be proud to be an American? Seriously, Name a better country. Just do that. Like, what's a better country than America? Can you name one? You're lying. If you say you can, you're lying and you're a piece of sh. I gotta ask you, what is your hope for America at a time such as this?
- [06:05]
Marco Rubio
My hope for America? And how do you personally deal with that, yeah, look, I mean, my hope for America is what it's always been. I think it's the hope I hope we all share. We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential. I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly. But I think in the US we're not perfect. Our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history. And ours is a story of perpetual improvement. Each generation has left the next generation of Americans freer, more prosperous, safer. And that is our goal as well. But it is a unique and exceptional country. And as we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history. It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding.

I mean, he's very good at this. And he was going off the top of his head there. Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying it,

Conservative Military Veteran
well, you know, if you could be pro black and you can be pro Mexican, then there's nothing wrong with being pro white. There's nothing wrong with going out there and saying that you're proud to be white or, or you're proud to be black or you're proud to be a Mexican. Now, personally, for me and for the way that I see things, I always say I'm proud to be an American. And the reason why is because when you join the military, everybody kind of gets stripped of their color. You're not special because of how you look. You're special because of what you're capable of. You're special because of your leadership ability. That's what you're, that's what makes you special. And, and even if you're so special that you become a leader, as a leader, the people below you are way more special and way more valuable than you ever will be.
- [07:56]
Ben Shapiro
So again, one of the things that's amazing about the United States military, and this is true for all large scale institutions of importance, is that it orients everybody toward the same goal. If you want a social institution that works, it has to have the same goal. And then you have all sorts of different types of people from all different walks of life who are brothers in arms because they're aimed at that same goal. Churches are supposed to be like this as well. Synagogues and schools, theoretically even places of business. The fact that it's fallen away so much in America is a huge problem. You know, it's very difficult to get your business properly insured. It's just not easy. You need one platform for payroll and then another for HR and another for accounting and another for benefits and then one for compliance and then one for insurance. All of those have their own login, their own terminology, their own stack of documents nobody fully understands. Again, understanding insurance for a business is really, really difficult. You might be undercovered, you might be overcovered. Well, this is why you need Super Sure. Super sure basically acts as a centralized business insurance platform, what they call a super agency. Instead of juggling multiple brokers and scattered policies, businesses can manage coverage through one brokerage relationship with one coordinated system. And honestly, one of the smarter features they offer is something called fine print fact, which translates complicated policy language into plain English so business owners can actually understand what's covered, what isn't, and where there may be gaps. Because one of the worst business experiences is discovering that you misunderstood your coverage after something goes wrong. Superstore also centralizes policies, certificates and documents into one insurance vault. It reduces repetitive applications and provides year round account management instead of only appearing at renewal time. In a world where businesses are increasingly overwhelmed by operational complexity, simplifying infrastructure actually matters an awful lot right now. You can go to supersure.com get a full report on your current policies with no obligation. Find out if you're overinsured, underinsured, somewhere in between. Head on over to super sure.com one super agency. One powerful platform. All your policies in one place. Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency llc, a licensed insurance agency.

As a Canadian, I'm sick and tired of having to pretend like I hate the United States of America. Because quite frankly, I love that country and its aura more than anybody can comprehend.

Canadian Commentator
I got a serious job offer tomorrow and the ability to move there. I would take it. Not because I could make more money or because there's cheaper things. Because I genuinely love the spirit of America. The spirit of America. Yes, it's chaotic. Yes, it's uncertain. But it's a country that embodies the idea of burn the boats country whose core identity and ethos has delusion built into it and where delusion is celebrated instead of talked down upon. You don't think that we can do X, Y and Z. Screw you. Watch us. I love America. I love their Delusions of grandeur. I love their pomp. I love their pageantry. Love the fact that they fly military aircrafts above a stadium with 60,000 people in it during football games. Of the fact that anybody from anywhere can move there and make something of themselves. If they're delusional, too, I hate that because I'm a Canadian, I have to pretend like I don't love the United States of America.
- [11:20]
Ben Shapiro
And I mean. Correct. It wouldn't be delusional. By the way, someone's just called those dreams like the American dream. But yes, that's exactly right. I mean, there's a reason why people are moving here in overwhelming numbers and trying to get in.

Immigrant to the US
Who I am. I am a guy who wants to be famous on the Internet talking about politicians. No, I don't think I'm qualified enough. I'm just a fisherman. I'm a guy who come here with 100 bucks on the pockets, couple T shirts on the backpack. And I went every single step to become American citizen. Who I'm proud because I know how good is this place. I'm a guy who live in Europe, who live in South America. And everywhere I went, everybody wants to come and live in America. Everybody want to be here. And then you who born here, you who grow up here, you listen. These Democratic leaders who tell you to be ashamed of this place, to not be proud of be America. Let me tell you something. If any politician tell you that he should be fired.
- [12:32]
Ben Shapiro
Accurate. New immigrants to the United States who can appreciate how great this place is, they have a lot to say to Americans who are born into this thing. I mean, honestly, the greatest privilege in life is to be born into a solid family. And the second greatest privilege in life is to be born in America. In the proud spirit of America and in the proud spirit of our great country.

Conservative Military Veteran
I just got three things to say.
- [12:57]
Ben Shapiro
God bless our troops. God bless America. And gentlemen, start your. If you don't get chills from America, I don't know what you're doing. Seriously, America is so great. We do. We kick ass. I mean, seriously, this place is awesome. Well, there are some people who don't appreciate this country. And to them I say, you should go away. Honestly, this country is great. And to all the people who do, well, you're getting it right.
