Senator Ted Cruz recently tweeted a segment that he likely did not realize was from our show. About two years ago, we went out on the street and asked people, if they could name a country on the map. Many of them could not. This had nothing to do with their political affiliation, but Ted Cruz posted it and wrote… “This is Bernie’s base - the same folks who tell pollsters that socialism is great because free stuff is cool & they have no idea how many countries have tried it and utterly failed. The antidote: facts, truth & substance.” Unfortunately, the guy talking about facts, truth and substance, made that all up. These were not Bernie supporters - we don’t know who they supported, we didn’t ask. Bernie wasn’t even running when we shot that. So, we decided to revisit this by asking people who do not support Bernie Sanders (in fact, quite the opposite) to name a country, and this is how that went.

In fact, this is very scary. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, New Zealand.
This makes me instantly fell like the smartest person on Earth
I worked twenty years as flight attendant on long haul flights One day flying back to the US from London I started chatting with an American lady after her stay in the UK I asked her if she enjoyed England : she said she really liked the country and the fact they speak such good English 😂😂
This is how the rest of the world views Americans. Honest.
As an American that has studied Geography, this made me want to cry. Just ONE country people!
As an American, I make a point to practice my world geography every day so I don’t end up like these people. That way if someone comes up to me on the street and asks me to name a country, I have at least half and their locations memorized.
"That's China." "Nope Senator, that's Singapore."
This could be my imagination, but a good number of these folks seemed almost PROUD to not be able to located even a single country. Like, a bunch had a "why would I?" sort of response to being asked if they could find a country.
As an American with a bachelor's in Geography, this made me cry. It also made me cry when I went to go find a job in the field. 😆 🤣
Half of these people look like they’ve never heard the word “country” before
This is terrifying. Greetings from Pyongyang, Denmark 🇩🇰
This is very sad and honestly scary. Greetings from Poland, the Island that England, the capital of London is located on!
I workrd with a guy from El Salvador once. A coworker asked " What part of Mexico is El Salvador in ?" Without missing a beat the Salvadorian answered " The southern part."
this is very sad for Americans, greetings from Tokyo, Africa
I hope the schoolsystem gets improved, greetings from The Netherlands, capiltal of Paris.
...."Tell me you're an American without telling me that you're an American." Greetings from Indonesia, the largest city in Africa.
I’m an American who actually knows geography, and it’s just embarrassing to watch grown adults not be able to name a country, they literally think continents are countries
