Clueless Spring Breakers Know NOTHING About America!
Liberty Hangout hosts quiz Clearwater Beach spring breakers on civics, exposing widespread ignorance where guests misidentify America's continent, confuse the 9-11 date, and wrongly name Pearl Harbor attackers. Confusion persists regarding Civil War outcomes, slavery's end, Senate counts, and military leadership, prompting a debate on mandatory voter literacy tests. While an ad for American Hartford Gold interrupts, the segment concludes that fundamental knowledge of laws and history remains essential for informed citizenship. [Automatically generated summary]

Sorry.
If you watch Liberty Hangout, you already know this isn't just about culture.
It's about power.
We spend a lot of time on the street talking to people who trust the system way more than it deserves.
They believe money just works.
Institutions are neutral and central planners always know best.
History says otherwise.
Fit government spending, endless debt, and monetary experiments don't just hurt the economy.
They quietly erode the value of your savings.
That's why we believe in something simple and real.
Physical gold and silver from American Hartford Gold.
Gold doesn't rely on government credibility.
It's held value through inflation, collapses in every failed experiment and centralized control.
American Hartford Gold has an A-plus rating with a better business bureau and thousands of five-star reviews.
You can have gold and silver shipped straight to your door or stored securely in a tax-advantage gold IRA if you are thinking about protecting your future.
And right now, when you call and mention that I sent you, you could get up to $20,000 in free silver with your first purchase.
Call 855-799-8989 or text Liberty to 65532.
Freedom isn't just about speech or self-defense.
It's about independence.
And owning something real is one of the simplest ways to keep it.

Five, yeah.

Well, that's fair.
That's fair.
So, the reason we're asking these today, there's a lot of questions about like voter ID and like who should have the right to vote.
What do our voters know?
Is everybody's vote equal?
Do you think people should have to pass a test and know these questions, basic, simple questions like this to be able to vote?
Um, I think it's a good idea.
Like, I like the concept because I think a lot of people aren't informed about it.
Do you think people should know those to have to vote?
100%.
Yeah, I think so.
Okay, all right.
How old are you guys?
20.
Okay, so did you vote in the last election?
Uh, no, no, no, no, okay, that's okay.
Do you guys think that people should have to pass a test with some of those questions on there to be able to vote?
I think they should have at least a lot of knowledge on those type of things to vote.
Yeah, yeah.
What about you?
I guess, yeah.
To some extent, it matters like how much you know about the country and the laws and who's running.
You win the shelves on the beach because it's really, it's really not bad.
Even though today was a lighthearted and fun video, I still brought security with me because I am very serious about my safety when I go out to film.
If you guys go to patreon.com/slash Caitlin Bennett, 100% of what you donate goes to my security fund.
I'm very serious about my safety.
I want to stay safe out here and make it home to my kids.
So, patreon.com/slash Caitlin Bennett to support my work and my security fund.
