Speaking at Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, to mark the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, Ben argues that the United States remains the greatest polity in human history: the most dynamic engine of prosperity, the most extraordinary military power, and the true empire of liberty the Founders envisioned. And yet large parts of both the Left and the horseshoe Right have embraced a corrosive blackpill: the claim that America is irredeemably corrupt, that individual agency is a myth, and that only tyranny can save us. The Founders knew better. They built this country on three non-negotiable foundations: Virtue. Freedom. Strength. Without those three, the American experiment collapses. The blackpillers on both sides are actively working to erase them. We cannot let them succeed. -- -- -- Subscribe to DailyWire+ and watch all of our content ad-free: https://get.dailywire.com/ben-shapiro/subscribe LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos daily: https://youtube.com/@BenShapiro -- -- -- DailyWire+ Become a Daily Wire Member and watch all of our content ad-free: https://www.dailywire.com/subscribe 📚📝 Back-to-School Sale - Get 3 months for $19 📲 Download the free Daily Wire app today on iPhone, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Samsung, and more. 📰 Follow me on the Daily Wire app or DailyWire.com to read my daily articles and receive my Friday newsletter. 📘 My book "Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics)" is available here: https://dwplus.shop/LionsandScavengers 👕 Get your Ben Shapiro merch here: https://dwplus.shop/BenShapiroMerch #BenShapiro #TheBenShapiroShow #DailyWire #News #Politics
