We Are the Backstop: USA First, No Dual Loyalties Needed

Ben Shapiro once said Israel's existence acts as a "backstop" for Jewish loyalty to the US—making America a safer place for him because Israel is there if things go wrong.

We rebut that in the Short with a direct counter:

"We don't need a backstop. We are the backstop."

The clip plays Shapiro's words, then hits with the line that flips it: America is the ultimate safeguard, the first and last line of defense. No need for another country to guarantee loyalty here.

Our point: loyalty shouldn't be split. USA first in everything. When someone frames their allegiance to America as contingent on another nation's existence, it raises questions about priorities. We the people are the backstop—no outsourcing that role.

This ties into broader debates on dual loyalties, foreign influence, and putting America ahead. The video calls it out plainly: that take didn't age well, especially amid Epstein files discussions or other controversies where agendas seem clear.

We made this to stress: America stands alone as the protector. No backstop required.
