Today I'm revealing the title and cover of my brand new book, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.

0:04.8

It is available for presale at dailywire.com slash ben. That's dailywire.com slash ben.

Here's what's important about the book. The country is falling apart. We all know this.

0:14.1

I mean, the country was falling apart months ago before coronavirus. The coronavirus pandemic has really

0:18.6

exacerbated a lot of the divisions that undergirded what was happening before.

0:22.6

What we are watching right now is at least half the country really does not see America as a cohesive unit.

0:28.8

It doesn't see America as an idea. It doesn't see America as a nation. Instead, America is a set of competing interests.

0:34.3

America is just a bunch of groups that hate each other, and whoever grasps the

0:37.5

brass ring of power is able to cram down their viewpoint on everybody else. Why exactly is the country falling apart? I think the country is falling apart, because there are a lot of people who want to fundamentally change the country, and then there are some people who see that America was meant to be unified, that America is based on a shared philosophy, it's based on a shared culture.

1:15.8

to fundamentally reshape the free markets and capitalism in America.

It's a whole.

1:19.7

You see this sort of stuff from Nancy Pelosi wanting to reshape America on the back of a pandemic.

1:23.5

Hillary Clinton says, let no good crisis go to waste.

1:26.9

The fact that people want to fundamentally

1:28.2

remake America, that has really become the dominant ideology of the political left. And more than

1:35.1

anything else, it's not just the left-right division. It's a question of whether we stay together as a

1:38.7

country. There's a traditional, what I call unionist history to the United States, a traditional

1:43.3

unionist philosophy, a traditional

1:44.8

unionist culture. And that is an idea that America does have these shared things, the shared

1:49.2

philosophy, and that philosophy can be summed up in the Declaration of Independence, the idea

1:52.7

of pre-existing rights, rights that pre-exist government, God-given, that are to be protected by
