Here’s something I agree with Kyle on: break up the existing monopolies whether they be in big tech or manufacturing!

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism " - Thomas Jefferson

Kind of a silly question. People are fleeing from worse off conditions. No one ever says USA is the worst country to live in. But the United States is worst out of the developed countries in many markers as Kyle touched on. I find it silly when people call other people communist when they criticize the governments failings. If you think about it in analogy as a home. The parents being the government and the kids being the citizens. United States is an upper middle class family and the kids are complaining that the food and the pantry is unhealthy and the school they are going to is terrible. And then the parents turn around and say, if it's so terrible living here why do your cousins that live in low income housing want to come here then? Or just start calling them bad kids for not being grateful living in a upper middle class house. It really demoralizes the kids and the problem still exists that they have bad food and bad health.

Never thought these two would meet up lol

Worked with a guy who immigrated from Egypt, up until he moved here he was convinced (based on hearsay and media) that americans all lived in big houses and had 2 cars and no one was hungry. Of course people want to move to America, they believe the American dream is still alive.

there are various countries that have way higher migration and migration rates than the US including scandinavian countries like sweden and norway...switzerland for example has double the migrants and tripple the migration rate than the US

I'm Australian and I've spoken to lots of immigrants that had America as their first choice but couldnt get in and came to Australia instead but are so happy and relieved that they didn't go to America because of what a dumpster fire it is today.

It's mostly people who are poor coming from dangerous countries that have always had the United States involvement in choosing the leaders for corporate benefit.

If you're in Central or South America, it's much easier to try to get to America. If you're in the Middle East or North Africa, it's easier to try to get to Europe. And the multiple waves of Jewish and other European / Eastern European migrations all have their own historical contexts. America also has a strong mythos, was founded by immigrants, and has a long history of inviting immigrants... “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

"I got lucky, therefore America is amazing" - the host. 79% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Truly amazing.

My aunt and uncle moved to America and they realised how bad it was and moved to Australia. I had to live there for a year for work and it was a nightmare

Better question is what kind of people are moving to US?

Why would you borrow 80k for college? That’s a waste of money.

We get taxed heavily in Canada for universal healthcare. When you combine all the income tax, carbon tax, sales tax, and high property tax, we are close to 60-70% of our income gone in taxes. The wait times to see a specialist and get MRIs for example can be well over 6 months. We also have chronically over filled emergency rooms. I would say anything our government touches becomes a more expensive and inefficient money pit. Anyone who argues for this "hybrid system" should at least live in it for a few years. It's not all rainbows and unicorns.

I don’t remember seeing an immigrant saying America is bad, it is usually Americans who are complaining.

wtf is with Kyle's hair are we back in middle school the beach blonde, gel through comb with mini spoiler in front.

It’s not difficult to understand: It’s cos the cost of living in america is so stupidly high that wages are inflated, meaning that an immigrant can get a low paid job here easily, but then send that money home and support an entire family. Same happens in the uk but there it’s for the free healthcare. Movies and tv shows used to be a big influence people chasing some idealistic dream life but that’s not real america.

Kyle would say "America being bad is the wrong conversation to have" meanwhile EVERY SINGLE topic he and his pals lead off with is here's what's bad about America and how capitalism needs to be upended.

native americans were wiped out

Kyle gets the W

It is a matter of perspective. A citizen can see each generations quality of life is decreasing year on year. If your dodging bullets in a dessert somewhere of course America is better.

So contradictory… he praises capitalism for how competition drives productivity, but then advocates for universal health care and college in which there is no competition… just a government monopolies

As someone that was brought over from a young age. It’s because of jobs. If people could work here a few months then go back home they would do that. Some do but a lot stay to start their family here because they find a good job or they’re fleeing the crime in their home countries

A lot of immigrants go to the US is becuz the marketing is good. The ppl i know who travelled to the US regretted it - beautiful places and nature but high prices, high crime rates, a huge amount of homeless ppl.. I could tell 20 more reasons. Howeever being rich in the states is probably one of the best things.

My dude Patrick is traumatized and is letting his personal experiences clout his judgement

That "mixed system" applies socialism and capitalism as it benefits those in power and maintains our current class system.

America doesn’t rank 11 out of 11 countries in health care. This guy is just making up stuff as he goes

Well, it is like coming to the office for work. Your office might have the coolest workspace and the most gorgeous cafeteria, it is still an office. You are only there for the paycheck, not loyalty. The idea is you come to make the money, then spend it elsewhere that doesn’t suck.

'80k in debt for a job they are overqualified for' Two things on that. One, no one pointed a gun to their heads to become 80k in debt. Two, there are consequences for your choices. If you went to college and are 80k in debt because you didn't do the research on what the ROI of that 80k will be, that's on you.

America is the best country to live in. If you rich 😂

i know a lot of people from russia that would rather come to germany or switzerland rather than america, because they know they would be fucked if they did

It's better than the other places, but we do have work to do here in the states.

Because it’s better then where they come from but that still doesn’t mean it Doesn’t suck lol in terms of developed nations it’s near the bottom.

Many immigrants come to USA for possibility of earning higher income than back home. To achieve that they live very frugal and save later either to go back to their home or stay.

They don't know it sux until they get there

Because it’s the greatest country on earth where anyone, and I mean anyone, can make a great life here. Obviously it’s not without flaws but, it’s the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Dumb or ignorant question, #1 reason why the rest of the world wants to come to 'America' is Hollywood movies/ the movie industry. Second reason is work. They just want to work.

Love all these experts on working people who have never worked a day in their life.

same reason people get married.

It's definitely better to live in America than the majority of the countries in the world. But it significantly better to live in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Canada, Australia, New, Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, than it is to live in America.

I never heard anyone say "America is so bad", but I do hear people want better for everyone That thinking of "being happy just to have anything, so, corruption shouldn't be complained about" is too common for immigrants If everyone has that thinking, this country will turn into a developing country cause those people will bring their thinking with them. We see this with states that have a lot of new immigrants, they turn the place into an old world with the thinking, and problems come from it, at least in my experience. It's the children who bring their parents into modern thinking, but that's after the nonsense they go through

You can bend issues to fit your narrative. This guy doesn't know anything.

If he thinks that social democracy is so great why doesn't he live in social democratic countries in Europe?

One word: Geography. Do you know why south and central americans move to america? Bc it's the closest and best option. If you're um the other part of the world ppl move to Europe

You are reducing America to third world country level in this comparison. Are we saying the US is the best of the third world countries? Kyle made the right points on this one.

The trouble with this exchange is PBD is asking her to answer his question by coming up with an original thought based on logic. If that was something she was capable of doing, she wouldn't have to be on the left in the first place

The US is great but it is in decline. It's easy to say immigrants want to come here from nations in turmoil but how many immigrants from nations like the Scandinavian countries, Singapore, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, etc really want to move here. Sure, some are but the vast majority want to stay in their nations that offer a higher quality of life. I moved to the USA 30 years ago and while I love many aspects of this nation, I am very aware of how things are going with the declining middle class. Too much corruption on all levels of government and in this country, if we are honest this is an oligarchy and not a democracy. The very few in the elites/corporations control everything. Our politicians are puppets and they are not there for the people.

Kyle doesn't factor in all the government regulation that has helped monopolies....cronyism. The federal government is a very big employer....get rid of department s that are not needed. Unions seem to protect more incompetent people and seems to stifle innovation.

Soy boy: "we need competition in the market to create good products, we should also tax people super hard to fund a massive redistribution program so that everyone has less incentive to compete."

Same stuff here in the Uk

My perception as a foreigner about what's crumbling America: 1) The absurdly expensive healthcare system and millions of Americans who cannot afford proper medical care. The right to healthcare is equivalent to the right to life and cannot be conditioned by the profit of companies. You don't put profit over people's lives. 2) American companies have preferred to outsource jobs in search of cheaper labor and have found everything they wanted in China. You're naive if you think capitalism has anything in common with patriotism or belonging to a particular country. These companies could just as easily work in North Korea if there was an opportunity. China demonstrates that capitalism is not conditioned by the existence of democracy. 3) There is no longer a middle class, no longer liquid assets. All Americans have now are debts upon debts. There is an extremely high pressure on families who find that raising a child has become a luxury, a whim. 4) The public education system is a joke . I always hear about how parents should give up on it! If an institution is inefficient, it needs to be reformed, not dismantled. 5) The government prioritizes the interests of the extremely wealthy over those of ordinary people. The elected officials should represent the interests of the population, and if not, their role is wrong and needs to be reformed, not abolished! 6) Tax the hell out of the extremely wealthy and use the money for education and healthcare. In schools, future employees are educated and trained, and if they have any problems, they are treated in hospitals, not in company offices!

Easy to say Americas systems rank last when you’re comparing a country of almost 400 million to countries half or even a 10th of its size.

Ppl migrate not because of a moral value judgement of the host country, but simply on whether they’re going to be able to survive and have a decent standard of life. The Nazis had the most advanced country in the world at the time, and if they allowed immigrants, the entire world would have tried to pour in. That doesn’t mean they were morally good. I guess we need to make a disambiguation between material good, and moral good.

this question is so stupid. it is like asking if smoking cigarettes is so bad why some people still smoke.

🤔..I have just checked South and North America. If i had to pick, obviously i would choose North America first. Then, Canada. FYI: The Top 10 Countries for Moving Abroad / Number of countries that want to move here the most 1. Canada - 30 2. Japan - 13 3. Spain - 12 4. Germany - 8 5. Qatar - 6 6. Australia - 5 7. Switzerland - 4 8. Portugal - 3 9. USA - 2 10. United Kingdom - 2

The problem is everyone wants free shit but expect others to pay for it.

Because they haven't updated their myths .

I find this phrasing so ridiculous and the question in general so idiotic its sad it's coming from the mouth of a man who I know to be so inquisitive and thoughtful. When an AMERICAN who only knows AMERICA criticizes his country, it's because he knows INHERENTLY its flaws and where it is lacking. Those who say 'this is terrible' or 'we should do something about this' or 'we should change this' have NEVER SAID 'God you know where things are much better? Haiti!' 😒 But just because it is 'not as bad' as North Korea it doesn't mean we don't have things to fix and it doesn't mean we should stop trying to fix it. This is not a school paper we're tired of redoing. This is a country, made up of laws and policy and legislation. Things that could materially change the lives of millions of people. It is worth tweaking and altering and changing and improving. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Vietnam is the best

Im in canada and would never want to go anywhere near the US,,,guns guns guns,,no healthcare,,no goverment assistance,,,the politicians and 2 party system doesnt do a thing for you

Today they are not all immigrants but refugees . European peasants came to America to seek a better life. Life in Europe was/is not like the romantic fantasy version on TV, it was a painful and a hard life. Sadly, genociding the Native Americans and bringing in African slavery is the level of common sense they had. Britain tried to destroy Asia and the Orient and America today has created unjust wars, regime changes so why should not others want to escape pain too. It is human nature to explore and try to better ourselves. America is a nation of immigrants seeking a better life. But to seek a better life everyone needs to confront why things did not work in Europe/Asia/Orient/Africa...Let's be honest with ourselves. America should have been a new beginning, a civilization of science, common sense, it started out good but is now losing it's soul. We should be seekers of the truth again. The James Webb telescope discoveries are AWESOME yet that has not registered in the primitive thinking of Humans. Why???? Human thinking is not higher and our ego's not lower., we shamelessly are not humbled, Why!!! Women did not get freedom because the Europeans were advanced, women achieved freedom because men went to war and women needed to work. Space is the new frontier yet America has become involved in this new European Tribal war in Ukraine to destroy Russia? We have European Tribal Wars? Asian Tribal Wars? Oriental Tribal Wars? African Tribal Wars? INSANITY! Our ancestors would be ashamed of us because space is "THE WONDER" the new frontier. You could give everyone a planet to call their own, to research and be a part of something BIG, BIG, BIG.

Why the fuck would anyone take the risks and put in the work to "compete" when 90% of the rewards are taxed away from them to feed a massive social safety net that doesn't work.

3:49 I'm German.. Kyle really understood the system here in favor of his point he was trying to make. Yes, education, going to uni is (mostly) free. Also, "trade schools", or the german equivalent to them are also "free". But this is paid by state taxes with the reason of "lets finance these students so they can pay more taxes when they make more income in the future". Also, health care is not "free" as everyone thinks it is. When earning for example 60.000€ a year, you pay ~800€ a month for health care insurance which is not including any really expensive treatments e.g. cancer treatments and also teeth replacements.

America looks great to a lot of immigrants because America does a great job of selling itself as the land of opportunity. for ex: Movies typically only show you the best parts of NY, LA or any other major city they never show you the slums or the ghettos

Patrick Bet-David, it appears that the son I never had is your guest, Kyle Kulinski, and aside from the juvenile gratuitous profanity and in public, he made more sense than any guest you've ever had. However, there is his 'misapplication of verbiage' that he employs to make his valid points. For instance, there really isn't any such thing as social-democracy, but rather there is only a democracy that has a level playing field, so to speak, where the rule of law applies across the board equally for everyone and this rule of law extends into the business world which absolutely is not the case here in the U. S. This fact brings up the subject of anti-trust and anti-monopolies that is in extremely dire need of being exercised once again since what we currently have, if we were to be brutally honest, is the United Mafia States of America that is in the process of collapsing in upon itself to the point that we'll all soon be walking around with weapons and identifying with a certain gang instead of a political party that will act as a political party which is what we are a hop, skip and a jump away from already. Then there is Mr. Kulinski's objection to having 'medical debt' and or an 'education debt' which I couldn't agree more with, but at the same time I know what the answer is, or at least I know what the foundation is for achieving these goals of not having an education debt and not having a medical debt (video 4, Equity Spending KZfaq channel) as well as having a fairer distribution of our nation's infinite wealth which relates directly to the subjects of anti-trust and anti-monopoly and that answer is the public acknowledgement of quantitative easing (QE) and then the full explanation of how and why it works. In other words, to a very great degree, it's all about the money and that is exactly what quantitative easing is, it's about having federal funding to - "Infinitum" - to quote Fed Chairman Powell. The entire explanatory narrative on how and why quantitative easing works is called Equity Spending (KZfaq) or ES, not to be confused with the more politically correct, Left leaning, in my opinion, inferior MMT explanatory narrative on QE spending. Then there is the very much shadow banned, censored/suppressed quintessential literary contribution for explaining exactly how and why quantitative easing works that uses a fictional novel format which storyline is fun to read as well as being profoundly satisfying, titled: (Revised 2nd Edition) "All About Equity Spending... With a Love Story". Then too, there is the non-fictional Continuing Commentary section between chapters nineteen and twenty due to the uniqueness of the subject matter. This book is the 'Top Five' MUST READ BOOK (singular) for everyone from twelve to sixteen to the grave, and especially for you, Patrick Bet-David. P.O.O.F.O.O.S.I.E.

Great branding

| Kyle's ideas are in practice: its called the Navajo Nation. I would challenge him to find a job, hold down that job for a good month and then find a house within that month.

I moved from Brazil 20 yrs ago and I never went back to Brazil. I am way better off than anyone I know in Brazil

Freedom man

Because it's the best country on earth!! As a legal immigrant I worked my ass off to get here. I love everything this country stands for and the opportunity it gives to EVERYONE. People who hate it haven't seen what's outside

I'm new to stock market /Crypto and would like to invest but I've go no idea on how to make good profits. Pls what's the best approach you'd recommend?

Nice goat bro

People are not running away from Switzerland united Arab Emirates or Japan. People who are dying to get to America are running away from extreme poverty & cartels. No one in the first world is dying to get to America. This guy is silly

Take good part of capitalism and socialism, and bend them togather to make the society better. This only sounds good, but it is impossible to do. You might say greed is bad, but the fact is greed is a part of the capitalism that drive you to challenge more and take more risks.

A grown man who dyes their hair blonde shouldn't have an opinion on anything.

Patrick Would you move to USA today? Be honest please

My family decided to come to Canada instead of the US. I genuinely don't understand how anyone would prefer otherwise. All the benefits of a capitalistic market and the western world without having to go bankrupt after a doctor's appointment, a trip to the hospital, giving birth etc.

many Americans do not understand what country they live in and how many opportunities there are. while migrants are used to working for pennies in their countries, and when they come to the US, they get what they deserve for their work and enjoy other benefits of the country. I have many acquaintances who have left for the USA and are very satisfied with their lives, they work well and receive rewards for this.

America is already a social democracy. Name another country that spends more on social programs.

We I came to this country young as well from the Middle East. When you come hungry and from a war zone. Being here is like putting a wolf with sheep. I had and and still have that immigrant mind set. I fear poverty. People don’t respect broke people. My father was a workaholic and loved America. He recently passed away and the last discussion he had was how much he loved this country and how much America provided for us. We didn’t sit on our asses. We worked

As Milton Friedman once said, you can’t have a welfare state and a open border state at the same time. To achieve this hybrid economic system that Kyle is advocating, illegal immigration needs to be cut to zero and legal immigration needs to be reduced dramatically.

Only people from 'Third World countries' wanna immigrate to America because they wanna find better paid jobs and scape poverty but most of them are NOT aware of the mess of a country America is these days as they don't speak English plus don't have the money to move to a country with better living standards. I moved to the US years ago but looking forward to leaving in the near future.

So you go to college and end up having a huge loan to pay off is who's fault ? This is one example of how letting govt into any institution might start out ok but eventually becomes a disaster, less govt is the answer to all these issues.

This kid should live in argentina and have all tje good bs of socialism

Get Jimmy Dore on next!!!!

American say that,all immigrants know this the best country in the world, people here complain about everything now and days and are ungrateful to be here

Because Scandinavian social democracies wouldn't let you in. They're the most difficult countries to migrate to, it's a closed loop system.

The blonde guy is decent at least

Under God we trust, USA!!

Lots of people emigrate from other countries [devastated by war and poverty] to America because Churches sponser them and then become part of the parish...and that means good business for that certain Church. Hazzah!

Kyle made some good points here.

Only reason why is the movies, usa is worse then most developed countries. In brazil happens the same thing, where everyone wants to move to rio because its where all soap operas and tv shows are shot eventhough its not the best place to live

Freedom and free money

Kyle crushed it in this segment. His answer was flawless.

It’s partly the way America has been branded. A lot of people in third world countries just hear America and think it would be so nice if they could get here

Says the rich guy in the US classic

Vagest answer ever, Pat's question was simple.

His problem is he keeps repeating “and I think most people would agree with me”. They don’t.

America the beautiful!

People keep coming to America for the same reason people keep going to college. They think its the right thing to do until they do it
