Shapiro Explains Why the U.S. Is the Greatest Country in the World

Here's why the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.

This is a reupload from the Q&A portion of my 2019 @YAFTV speech at Stanford University.

This is one of the more educated kids asking ben a question that I've seen.

[brianandrea]

Yeah, say that to a British, Canadian, Swedish, Norwegian, Australian, French, German etc etc etc audience and you will get laughed off the stage.

[yazanhussam]

That was actually a pretty decent and genuinely honest question, props for that guy.

[sakkekvist]

I was watching an American movie in a Belgian cinema, when the male lead proudly announced the US was the best country in the world to live.
The audience erupted into spontaneous laughter, all the funnier because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant to be comic.

[SANCHIGO_MUSIC]

The best joke that I ever heard is that America is the best country in the world 😂😂😂

[wimvanderstraeten]

Where does Shapiro get the absurd idea that other countries don't have freedom of speech and freedom of assembly from? Does he think that all other countries in the world are dictatorships? You really have to be an ignorant American to say stuff like that.

In many countries schools are affordable and no one comes to the school with guns

[oftin_wong]

Why do americans desperately need to have the constant reassurance that they are the best country on earth ?

The most shocking thing I learned in this video is that the Nationals won the World Series. It's been a much longer time since I followed sports than I thought

[allanwest]

Get out of your bubble Ben and have another look.

[deanckc]

Germany italy austria and MANY countries are better than america.
Americans just live in a buble
Im not saying its the worst or even a bad country but its surely not the best

[keifer]

"Least racist country on Earth"

I'm from the UK and while racism is alive and well here, I don't think it holds a candle to racism in the US 😂

[CaseyBurnsInvesting]

People don’t realize how good they have it until they leave.

[stefankapanski]

In Europe, this is a joke. Nobody except Americans believes in this nonsense.

[liamdale]

when he said "america is the least racist country in the world" i actually laughed out loud

[georgebrady]

America stopped being the best country a long time ago. At this point, America is the greatest country to live in, if you are a millionaire. If not Australia is better, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, etc... America has too much violence, crime, poverty, and a border crisis. The country is more politically divided than ever, medical services are too expensive, students have enormous debts after finishing university, in the big cities, the traffic is torture, etc... America has not been the greatest country for the last 20 years. And by the looks of it, things are getting worse.

[darrena]

Absolutely nothing Ben said was “unique”, like freedom fo speech and freedom of religion is unique to America. Has he ever heard of western and southern European countries?

[joelmouton]

Ben lies. America is not the greatest country in the world according to any positive metric. Citation needed Ben! Where are you getting your facts? From the back of a cereal box? Or maybe from Tucker Carlson? Or from NewsMax? What are your sources?

[michaelignite]

This is where I would disagree with Ben.
1. USA does not have the best crime situation in the world. The streets are not the safest.
2. Freedom of speech is basically the advantage only on the paper. Almost all of the free countries (not counting the totalitarian ones) have the freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Of course maybe you wouldn't be able to express everything that comes to your mind, but in many cases I believe it to be the advantage. I would rather have a Nazi rotting in a grave for saying Nazi shit than a guy that smokes weed f.e.
3. Many other countries are cleaner.
4. Many other countries have better education system.
5. Many other countries have a better living standard for the larger part of their population.
6. It is also true that America committed atrocities around the world during its foreign military interventions while at the same time sending their own kids to fight in the same wars only for the interests of the few.

This is not me dissing anyone. This is me saying it is not very simple.

The progressive movement wants to make our country a Banana republic.
