Let's move on to the next question. Go
ahead. Hi, my name is Jenny. I'm a
sophomore and this is for all three of
you. Can you say in one sentence or less what
what
um you know what I mean? Can you say why
America is the greatest country in the world?
world?
Diversity and opportunity. Lewis, uh
freedom and freedom. So, let's keep it
that way. Well,
Well,
No, I'm going to hold you to an answer
on that. What makes America the greatest
Well, Lewis and Sharon said it.
Diversity and opportunity and freedom
I'm not letting you go back to the
Well, our Constitution is a masterpiece.
James Madison was a genius. The
Declaration of Independence is for me
the single greatest piece of American writing.
You don't look satisfied.
One's a set of laws and the other's a
declaration of war. I want a human
What about the people? Why is not the
greatest country in the world,
You're saying yes.
Let's talk about fine Sharon. The NEA is
a loser. Yeah, it accounts for a penny
out of our paycheck, but he gets to hit
you with it anytime he wants. It doesn't
cost money. It costs boats. It costs
airtime and column inches. You know why
people don't like liberals? Cuz they
lose. If liberals are so [ __ ] smart,
how come they lose so goddamn always?
And with a straight face, you're going
to tell students that America is so star
spangled awesome that we're the only
ones in the world who have freedom.
Canada has freedom. Japan has freedom.
The UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain,
Australia, Belgium has freedom. So 207
sovereign states in the world, like 180
of them have freedom. And yeah, you uh
sorority girl, just in case you
accidentally wander into a voting booth
one day, there's some things you should
know. And one of them is there is
absolutely no evidence to support the
statement that we're the greatest
country in the world. We're seventh in
literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science,
49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant
mortality, third in median household
income, number four in labor force, and
number four in exports. We lead the
world in only three categories. Number
of incarcerated citizens per capita,
number of adults who believe angels are
real, and defense spending, where we
spend more than the next 26 countries
combined, 25 of whom are allies. Now,
none of this is the fault of a
20-year-old college student. But you
nonetheless are without a doubt a member
of the worst period generation period
ever. Period. So, when you ask what
makes us the greatest country in the
world, I don't know what the [ __ ] you're
Sure used to be.
We stood up for what was right.
We fought for moral reasons. We passed
laws, struck down laws for moral
reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not
poor people.
We sacrificed. We cared about our
neighbors. We put our money where our
mouths were, and we never beat our
chest. We built great big things, made
ungodly technological advances, explored
the universe, cured diseas, and we
cultivated the world's greatest artists
We reached for the stars, [Music]
[Music]
acted like men. We aspired to
intelligence. We didn't belittle it. It
didn't make us feel inferior. [Music]
[Music]
We didn't identify ourselves by who we
voted for in the last election. And we
[Music]
We were able to be all these things and
do all these things because we were informed
informed
First step in solving any problem is
recognizing there is one. America
is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
