Episode Transcription

our my office too we're actually back  here live on youtube for the clean version  

of the uh world according to ben stein so give me  one second and um rob's got his hat off tonight  

interestingly enough very handsome very handsome i  would say i agree looks he looks great it's uh 100  

and if you just tuned in you are listening to the  world according to that man benjamin jeremy stein  

i want to welcome i can't get this conversation  that we had before the show out of my head  

but for my wife cats that's all i mean  a lot of people have cats from 1931 wibc  

indiana bam the future of conservative talk  radio future politician himself rob kendall  

and there's not a doubt in my mind rob that you  were you you have that in your sights am i wrong  

uh i'm happy being retired from politics because  i get off the air at noon each day i go home and  

i don't have to listen to anybody i get to hang  out with ben is that fun though is that fun i mean  

i myself like to go out and about i like to go out  to the beach i like to go to the grocery store i  

like to go to my computer and write write write  write write write write i write like an angry  

maniac and i'm just writing writing writing and i  go visit my wife and i play with her cats she has  

diverse cats very sweet little cats and uh that's  all we have i'm sadly allergic to but i didn't i  

didn't i didn't introduce you ben of course writer  provocateur actor saint sinner lover of cats  

former shoe salesman and now doctor and america's  teacher benjamin jeremy stein we salute you first  

and fore first and foremost before the show starts  so we don't forget behind me you can see a door  

that says ben stein private dick rob's father i  believe his name is mike right yes yes kendall  

wants to know what the origins of this door is ben  because we did when we were doing windmill signs  

monday we did an episode where i pretended to be  a private investigator and they made a whole set  

which was my uh 1940s filmore type office  as a private detective and that was the  

door and actually we had a much much much more  elaborate set but unfortunately someone in the  

stein household and i'm strongly suspect against  my wife i had it thrown away and disposed of and  

i liked it very very much but uh this is such his  life when you're married you have to take a lot of  

whacks from your wife and uh so there you go rob  your father was inquisitive and he and he didn't  

win ben stein's door but he he got the answer but  ben i want to get to something right off the bat  

right off the bat it's you know you you you've  taught me about this constitutional crisis we  

are going through um it doesn't take i mean we we  could see it and now we know they're coming for  

they truly are coming for the guns and  uh biden just announced it today that  

they are coming after rifles they're  going to come after the assault rifles  

they're going to do something very soon i'm  sure he's going to do with executive action  

and um i i think he's going to have a  little trouble doing that considering  

various supreme court rulings i don't think  he's going to be able to do that that easily  

uh there's a lot of stuff ben there's a lot  of stuff i've thought and never thought of my  

wildest dreams they'd be able to do that they  are doing right now that they are starting to  

do that they are implementing that i wouldn't  i i i wouldn't put it past them to at least  

try it oh no i'm sure that i'm sure they're going  to try it and the crazy thing is there are people  

stupid enough to believe that guns kill  people whereas everyone who has ever had a gun  

knows guns don't kill people people kill people  using guns and it is a scary thing that americans  

really believe that guns somehow get up off their  shelves or off their cabins wherever they are  

load themselves point themselves pull back their  triggers and fire i mean that that is so it's  

so obvious that that is not what's happening i i  don't understand how it could be any more obvious  

what are your thoughts on this rob so we talked  about this today on the air and first let me say  

for all the crap the police officers have  received over the past year this thing in  

colorado was an incredible display of what  heroes the vast majority of police officers  

you bet god bless them all my wifey and i every  night pray for the police and the sheriff's  

deputies and the national guard every night and  boy do we and we appreciate them wow and their  

heroism is standard heroism is standard that  dude ran to danger lost his life in the process  

you know we don't i've always taken the approach  i don't say that these mass murderers names on the  

air because i don't want to give them publicity  um so god i don't think you could pronounce it  

it would be difficult um but god bless that guy  but you guys are right they're gonna run on the  

guns they do this every time that there's a mass  shooting regardless of the political affiliation  

of the person or whatever they spin it into  whatever narrative they need and look it's  

another example to me bad guys are always going to  find a way to have guns it's the good people who  

need the guns to be able to defend themselves  and this was a great example of that well  

it's an amazing thing that uh this horrible  horrible massacre in colorado happened  

it's just a terrible terrible thing and it's  just awful just unspeakably awful every weekend  

far more people than this are killed by  guns in chicago a very very great city  

nobody says boo about that nobody says oh well  take let's take away glocks let's take away  

assault rifles from gang members nobody says  a word why why those were my thoughts today  

i swear to god as i was i was watching all these  psychotic people you know never letting a you  

know never letting a massacre or anything go  to waste i was thinking about what's going on  

in these inner cities with you know chicago on  a weekly basis looking like a like like your  

son playing one of those video games like a war  zone and and and what what possible excuse does  

local or federal or state government have for not  taking action about this about about these gangs  

it's to me it seems as if the police not the  police but the politicians are scared of the gangs  

the police aren't scared of anyone the police  are fearless but the uh but why why when this one  

crazy person who's obviously never going to do  it again uh kills all these people and which is  

unspeakably horrible why now make that an occasion  for taking away guns from law abiding people  

when there are these dozens hundreds of shootings  every month in the inner cities and nobody says  

anything right the people and the people get  it too right like i went to the gun range it  

had been a long time since i've been we  went to the gun range two weekends ago i  

had several boxes of bullets which i left at  home and said i'll just get them at the gun range  

the price of ammo and the shortage of ammo  is unbelievable and i'm thinking my bolt my  

four or five boxes of bullets here may be worth  more than bitcoin at this point people are and  

the guy at the range said it he said people are  buying this stuff up we at the range can't get our  

hands on it in many cases which shows that people  are very worried about this we're also going to

it doesn't fit the narrative right  chicago the inner cities doesn't fit their  

beautiful narrative about who the you know  who you know who's doing these atrocities  

and secondly to what rob just said there is as  we've brought up before there's a reason why the  

washington dc is still barricaded and has over  20 000 national guardsmen because these numbers  

you know of the amount of ammo that is hard to  find and the amount of guns that are going to be  

hard to find is really staggering well everything  about the gun the situation in american staggering  

there by definition law-abiding citizens do  not take out guns and kill people there are  

so many people who have guns who don't  take out their guns and kill anyone  

why are we taking away their guns or even talking  about it when there are gang members who are  

right there readily visible to the police readily  visible to sheriffs everyone in the neighborhood  

knows who they are nobody touches them why  well ben i think you know i mean you're gonna  

you're gonna say that i'm gonna say it's because  they're black no the the policemen are black too  

the sheriffs are blacks too i mean  every part of the equation is black  

but the politicians do not want to take away guns  from blacks because i'm afraid they'll be called  

racist the police aren't afraid i think that the  politicians are but i want alone quite insane at  

least i think i'm not a psychiatrist but quite  insane guy killing these poor poor poor people  

that that's that somehow is a clear cause celeb  whereas the killings every weekend in chicago they  

just didn't stay in the woodwork and and there's  there's this entity called black lives matter they  

don't attack gangs they don't attack the black  people are killing other black people they attack  

the police 99 percent of the killings of black  people are done by other black people they're  

never attacked by black lives matter i don't get  it but ben here's a i want to ask both of you this  

question because you raised a good point because  we live in los angeles yeah you know rob you live  

in indiana there's a huge fear of with the police  here of of obviously everybody having a cell phone  

on them everybody recording every single thing  they could possibly do so policemen other than  

having a fear for getting shot for getting  stabbed for you know for at any moment you  

know we're getting ready to run over right every  every bad scenario they could face they also have  

to worry about being filmed right and right and  and i don't know how you do your job effectively  

of protecting people when you can't even get that  protection onto yourself because we know it's it  

we've seen even in atlanta where the cop had total  you know it was totally justified for shooting  

the guy that stole and his stun gun you know and  it was running away shooting from behind or his  

right whatever and even a video where we know  the comp is he's it's still the situation so  

we have a war against the police by people  who do not want law and order who wants some  

kind of crazy jacobin which is a faction in the  french revolution uh craziness in america we have  

a large faction of people especially in the media  who genuinely want chaos in america unfortunately  

those of us who want a clean orderly america we  are fewer and fewer and fewer and more far between  

or that's what the media is telling us i don't  know that it's true but something something is  

drastically wrong if you want to stop gun violence  how about taking people who shoot people with guns  

in the inner cities of america or in any parts  in suburbs and farms anywhere and putting them in  

prison for a really long time instead of letting  him out sometimes with no bail why not do that  

that's not allowed because judah says it  doesn't fit the narrative the narrative  

is that black people are being persecuted and  killed by the police that narrative is phoned as  

a three dollar bill and look at what's going on  right now with the l.a county district attorney  

the george soros guys letting everybody  go he's paroling everybody the guy doesn't  

how is it indiana in indiana uh rob  because you i know you bring up the  

the governor there how are the police  responding to this i'm reacting to this stuff  

well first of all indiana actually has pretty good  gun laws it makes sense it's a red state they're  

currently debating constitutional carry in the  state of indiana which i i think is a great thing  

um the city of indianapolis has the the job the  mayor who's democrat hog said is his name has done  

in terms of leading the gutting uh certainly at  least on the morale side of the police department  

it has been unbelievable to watch this transpire  the past four or five years and and there it  

really started several years ago there was a there  was an officer involved shooting with a guy named  

aaron bailey and special prosecutors brought in he  looks at it i think it went to a grand jury grand  

jury says hey these officers acted correctly  no criminal charges so then they take it to  

the merit board and the merit board looks at it  and says okay these officers acted appropriately  

there's no need to demote them there's nobody do  anything to them everything was done by the book  

the mayor comes out and again this was two or  three years ago and instead of saying thank god  

that multiple who have looked at this our officers  acted appropriately this was a terrible thing we  

hate that it happens in our city but thank  god our officers are doing it the right way  

the mayor comes out and condemns the merit board  and vows to make changes to the merit board  

when a special prosecutor and the merit board  with separate eyes and no way connected come  

to the same conclusion and what that told  the criminals in the city of indianapolis  

is we're open for business and you've had record  or near record homicides ever since including  

eclipsing i think we went over 200 last year and  these democrats these radical leftists are telling  

these criminals our cities are open for business  and we've got your back before the cops that's  

that is exactly the message of the entire democrat  party as far as i can tell although i don't know  

if this mayor is a republican or democrat  uh in america today that we are on the side  

of the most violent people in the country and the  orderly law-abiding people can go uh i don't know  

go uh you know pitch a fit there's no there's  nothing bad that's gonna happen to them and if  

you just tuned in you are listening to the world  according to ben stein i want to thank everybody  

that's listening to us in the youtube chat but  most of all i i sincerely thank everybody that's  

downloading this podcast it's doing amazingly well  we are humbled by it we thank you it's the world  

according to ben stein it's uh the pod it's thank  you and um you could also find ben's newsletter  

at benstein.substance.com you could find rob every  day from what is it nine to nine nine and noon on  

uh ninety three one w i b c bam the the bam the  future of conservative talk radio and of course  

you can find ben stein at parlor and of course  at spectator.org but i wanted to get to something  

now that we're touching on this because it's it's  there's a there's a vacuum right now like they're  

like there's never been before president trump  is banned from all social media platforms and  

and and pretty much everywhere and i know part  he's announced that he's going to um start his  

own social media platform which i find i find that  is that's going to be really a hard thing because  

well he's you know apple and google won't carry  the app or whatever but ben i mean i and we were  

bringing this up today don't you think it's time  for him to get the show on the road yeah i think  

i think if if he were if he were more deadlocked  technically hip a technology hip he should have  

gotten this done already uh i i if he gets it done  at all it will be a miracle because i'm sure that  

the powers that be in the technological internet  world will do everything they can to sabotage him  

or wouldn't you if you were him right now with  the border crisis going on with biden coming  

after their guns and you know i mean we know  the networks by the way msnbc and cnn have lost  

50 of their viewership and trump should constantly  say miss me yet i mean ben 50 of you losing your  

viewership is a lot hell viewers there's a hell  of a lot of viewers to lose and donald trump is  

still the only person that could suck the oxygen  out of everything and even if it's just a troll  

bite in his administration and get the people his  supporters you know still still in the in caring  

he really does need to get back on the road he  needs to get back on the road and pronto his  

fans and friends of whom there are tens of  millions are ready to get back there with him  

yeah let's get going i'm not not sure what's  keeping him from doing it but i'm as he's very  

tired i imagine he's very discouraged after having  terrible things happen to him during the election  

we're not allowed to say it was stolen because  i do not want the gestapo coming in there and  

arresting me but something happened that was  unfortunate and uh let's just say uh it's uh  

it's time for him to start and uh i'd like to  be the first guest or second on a third or any  

any number yeah i mean i would die to go to a  rally right now rob they're awesome have you  

ever been have you guys ever been to one no they  didn't they didn't hold i haven't they didn't hold  

that many in california they're they held up judah  they were holding them right down the streets with  

me in beverly hills but i met with trump i met  with i've never been to one with trump they're  

awesome man i'll tell you what look i you know  they're every bit as i've seen the rolling stones  

play in front of 65 000 people i was in the ninth  row for the rolling stones i've been in the first  

row for bruce springsteen a trump rally is every  bit as exciting as your favorite rock concert  

and it is interesting how much this sort of  mirrors what's going on the music industry right  

guys don't make albums to make money anymore  because of the digital downloads etc there's  

not nearly as much they make it with concerts yeah  right right you do the album now to go on the road  

and for trump i think he's wasting a lot of time  with this this digital platform because look apple  

and and bin's the economist he can speak to this  more than i can apple and and and android and  

google they still have a basic monopoly once you  make the app on where it goes so if you're going  

to put all your time into that and it still  can't get on the devices you needed to get on  

then you basically just have parlor again well  what good does that do you go out to the people  

right yeah uh a hundred percent and ben here's  the thing right now i don't see any republicans  

um that happens this is getting the recession  why aren't the republicans out there  

saying attaboy donald we're right behind  you we'd like to be guests on the show  

anything we can do to help it get rolling  of course we'd like to do it there's no  

there's no doubt without mr trump the energy  is sucks right out of the republican party  

let's put it back in there and get the thing going  get it rolling and you you nailed it we have so  

many constitutional crises going on right now the  border thing is clearly a constitutional crisis  

the uh election thing is clearly oh my god is that  a constitutional crisis the idea of standardizing  

the election election rules throughout the united  states that's never been done before uh the the uh  

gun thing again a clear constitutional crisis are  just one after another of that of biden and his  

henchmen and henchwomen standing up and slapping  the constitution and i am sure i am positive  

morally positive that before very long mr  biden and his fathers will say the constitution  

was written largely by slaveholders and therefore  it is invalid and we need a new constitution  

hey judah i wanted to piggyback off this about  trump do you see trump being a pitch man for  

somebody else no absolutely absolutely absolutely  not i think donald go ahead i think he's going  

to run again i i i trump doesn't want on his  gravestone one term president you know he wants  

to be 45 and 40 and 46 and a half or 40s he wants  to be 45 46 and 47. i don't see trump you know  

it's not a matter of of i don't think donald trump  is brilliant i mean i think ben we could all agree  

that that you know you know and i have a friend  that constantly says the republican party needs  

a new reagan you know and i think we've got we've  got our new reagan his name is donald trump right  

and his name is donald and his name is donald  j trump and you know i don't i don't see him as  

as he if he thought that there was somebody that  could actually be president he might get behind  

that person but i don't think donald trump sees  any of these people as a viable candidate right so  

the reason i ask that is take a guy like desantis  and there was no bigger trump guy than me that's  

why i got the interview but i look at a desantis  and i say okay if i can get 90 of the trump stuff  

and he's rock solid and he's a fighter which he  has been thus far but you get 10 percent of the  

drama which might make him more electable man  it's hard it's hard not to get behind that so  

the question is if you get a trump guy i'm not  saying if it's you know an establishment figure  

like a jeb bush being the standard bearer but  if you get a there is a laugh if you get a trump  

guess again go ahead you soon say would trump  because he could be a huge asset but i don't  

know if he'd be willing to do that i gotta i got  he's he's not gonna do it then and and i don't  

know what i'm saying he's not he's not going to  i i either donald trump is all in or he's all out  

i don't see him as being appointing somebody  no no i think he's i mean he loves publicity  

he loves attention why shouldn't he do this i  mean what what about better stuff does he have  

to do he he he already uh has a beautiful home  he already has a nice like gets a lot of nice  

cars i'm sure he's surrounded by beautiful  women he certainly has a beautiful wife  

uh why don't uh what's next i mean fame fame fame  fame is a drug but there's also something there's  

also something separate if donald trump starts to  go on the road again he's gonna he's gonna force  

them into covering issues that they don't want  to cover okay so donald trump gets on it gets on  

very good it gets on and shows videos of the  border crisis going on right now where 500 people  

earn if it's or kids or my whatever you want to  call them earn a facility that's built for 300  

and donald trump starts talking about the violence  going on and all these different things ben  

he's going to force cable news networks to pick  him up because then they're going to have to make  

a decision do we go with the ratings or do we  go with or do we try to continue to block and  

shield for biden or harris or whatever they've  they've already made the decision to block and  

shield for kamala harris and mr biden but  uh that decision is going to be changed  

just this afternoon it's coming over the  internet and i'm sure you saw i'm sure we  

also i'm sorry i've been watching this the kama  harris basically spit on the uh military guards  

saluting her as she went up the steps to air  force one or maybe if she's on air force two  

what what why isn't that a perfect perfect  perfect place for mr trump to begin his  

broadcast that this is a perfect example of how  the biden kamala harris team has no respect for  

people who are risking their lives for america  and has no respect for people are risking their  

lives from america in the inner cities of america  too why don't we see mr biden going to the inner  

cities of america and saying i'm i'm with you  policeman yes it's true i don't want to get shot  

i'm not going to walk in the middle of a hold up  of 7-eleven but i who would but but but i'm with  

you policeman whatever you have to do at police  woman i'm whatever you have to do i'm with you  

rob i think it's going to be well so i i did  have a question for ben because we talked about  

this today on the air can you ever remember  a time where it was so and so and so and so  

administration like they're actively calling  it now and there's been instructions to call it  

the biden harris administration like i i i never  it wasn't reagan bush administration it wasn't  

clinton gore administration it wasn't bush cheney  administration i've never seen a vice president  

so prominently mentioned especially within three  months of the of the opening term like i've never  

seen this well as i think i would i've said this  on the air a million times that in washington  

among the cognoscenti the people are in the know  uh it is known that mr uh biden god bless us all  

is not well and uh so uh he probably will not  be there very long he certainly looks extremely  

unwell when he's on tv and rare occasionally on  tv he's not well enough to have a press conference  

that's really astonishing and he's been in office  as long as he has the energetic press conference  

something's really really wrong and he looks  very frail he obviously had trouble walking up  

the steps although i will say i've walked up those  steps those are very very hard steps to walk up  

but what is going on why can't he do something and  step up but let's go back to our friend mr trump  

why doesn't he show the incredible contrast  and vitality between him and mr biden  

by starting up this network and by appearing  on it for a good long time every week  

yeah i mean there's there's no reason i mean  i think listen the guy he needs if he means

he needed he needed a vacation even even president  trump with all his you know um you know 20 year  

old you know phys you know with his 20 year old  body and mind sometimes needs a little break but  

i do think you know donald trump knows how to do  tv and he knows the art of the tease but i think  

at a certain point this is the perfect time to  cut to come back out there and really point to  

what's going on because there's only there's only  so much hiding they could do what's going on at  

the border right now i mean this is ab this is  an absolute catastrophe that's going to affect  

every major city in the united states of america  there's no way it's not and the fact that they're  

spending 86 million dollars in hotel rooms for  illegal just the beginning that's just the start  

yeah yeah that's that's a that's just a start i  mean this this administration is spending money  

as if there were no cost to any of it i mean this  money has to come from somewhere yes the fed is  

printing it there's no doubt about that and we're  pre but the consequence of the fan print of the  

central bank printing and the supplies of money  is usually quite negative will it be this time  

so i think some of our other panelists have  mentioned over the last couple months that  

there's something called the new economics  who says it doesn't matter how much you go  

into debt doesn't matter how much money you print  i think that has yet to be proved whereas this was  

where as there is a great deal of evidence that  printing all this money is going to have very  

negative economic consequences why is no one  from the republican party speaking up and saying  

hey let's have a look at this let's have a let's  have some hearings about this and have some famous  

economists if there are any and i think there  are some uh come up and talk about what the  

effects are of running these huge deficits  because they're scared of their shadow ben  

right but they've got that okay there you go that  has got to stop if the republican party members  

in congress are scared of their shadows and as  i told you several times mr nixon told me my own  

bad self that missed that most republican congress  members are not fit to be dog catcher okay there  

must be a few of them who can have a hearing and  and have some attention paid to the fact that  

we're running these gigantic governments i mean  these are very very big deficits we can't possibly  

repay these deficits it's impossible and they  will eventually stimulate inflation ben i have a  

washington question uh about this how do you book  86 million dollars of hotel rooms like how does  

that even happen like does somebody have to call  all the days in belgium i will leave the light on  

for you uh i i priceline i don't know but there  are the government has gigantic travel bureaus  

and i guess they can do they can call up hilton  or uh whatever other change there are and ask for  

a room and i guess get the room and get the rooms  but obviously that's a lot of rooms but as we know  

that's just the beginning there are more and more  and more illegal aliens coming across the border  

day by day more and more and more is anything ever  going to stop him somehow the word got out as soon  

as mr biden became president that everybody  from central and south america and iran well  

you're all welcome come to america the party's on  when is that going to stop and if it doesn't stop  

we are a different america and i think really  what this election was largely about is  

do you like the america we have an  english-speaking primarily well it's not  

essential to me as english speakers primarily  english-speaking people with an anglo-saxon  

heritage of believing in the common law of england  do we like that or do we like people who are used  

to coming from dictatorships and places where  there are cartels and violence running things  

what do we want no but you know it's funny  though that's that is a great question rob  

and you know that they're not skimping you know  they're paying full price on those those hotels  

and those motels they're not showing a triple a  card yeah you know they're not using a triple a  

card you know they're not like looking at econo  lodges you know you know that you know they're  

taking the fir these guys these people could give  two craps about how much money these things then  

somebody raises a point and i don't i don't really  uh what are you about washington with becoming a  

state the district of columbia being becoming  a city and actually the democrats want that  

because that's either one two or three guaranteed  electoral votes and more senators for the uh for  

the african-americans which is the same with the  democrats and that's a very scary thing it's not  

in the constitution there's no uh justification  for it in the constitution but as i say the  

constitution is just being chucked aside and as i  say it's going to happen the wave of rage against  

uh slavery which was an absolutely terrible thing  is so powerful even the greatest achievements  

of slave owners in terms of writing the  constitution are going to be thrown away gladstone  

the great great great thing a great english jury  english statement said the constitution of the  

united states was the greatest single work ever  struck off by the mind that any other man had  

anyone done doesn't matter some people wrote it  we're slave holders it's going to be thrown away  

and and then that's the end of america then there  really is no more america and if you just tuned

yeah today was two months so we're two months  in they said by four months it's fully in man  

i'm gonna look like i'm 21 years old again it's  gonna be awesome you know i just somebody just  

put up on the screen that uh the ottoman empire  which is what we now know turkey we're still  

enslaving people uh mostly white people caucasian  people uh who they captured on ships and other  

maybe unraised or other slavic countries for  20 years after the u.s civil war ended so and  

by the way slavery is still going on in much of  the arab and muslim world so that's still going  

on but that doesn't stop us from liking them it  doesn't stop us from feeling as if there are pals  

that doesn't stop us from leaning towards iran  and away from errors israel that doesn't stop us  

from from kissing the ass or the iranians at all  nothing by the way i have to i have to do a plug  

my assistant and capable gentleman who's a  southern baptist minister is uh a uh is uh  

a one has written a book called fatherland  about uh children of american servicemen and  

filipino mothers who are denied the right to  emigrate to the united states which is an outrage  

and it's a very good book it's called fatherland  it's by my assistant reverend glenn o'yan  

who is a very capable guy and he is the guy  who called up the police last march not this  

much last march when our governor newsom announced  that we were all going to be locked down and said  

he his can i have a service with 10 people no okay  i have observed with five people no so that guy's  

written a book look for it and i will put i'll  plug that on parlor tomorrow rob somebody said  

you look great mock must be loving it um so kudos  to your hair kudos to glenn's book and you bring  

up something then you just said something and it  it rings in my head they did this crazy they've  

been doing these polls now about masks and stuff  and um i think it was almost 64 i could be wrong  

it's either 54 or 64 percent of people still will  wear masks after they're vaccinated and i i gotta  

tell you if you if if you know we're talking about  slavery if you don't believe that you are a slave  

at that point that you are still wearing a goddamn  mask and there are these enemy excuse my language  

i don't mean to offend anybody with that but  if you're getting vaccinated and we're all that  

and you still want to wear a mask you are a  sucker you yeah i this country is but they won't  

let you into the stores my friend no no no but i'm  saying eventually after everybody's vaccinated if  

then there's going to come a point where people  are just going to start running at the stores  

i mean i know a lot of people in different  states that do go into stores without masks  

on one of them being on the screen and one of  them being somebody that's a contributor to the  

show regularly who walks around without his mask  on and now in beverly hills bend you see half  

the street wearing their masks and the other  half sometimes have those monster face shields  

going down and it's can you i mean when you think  about it ben it's in over a year it's crazy it's  

it's just great we've lost the freedom to even  see our fellow citizens faces seeing your fellow  

citizens face is a big way to understand what  kind of person that man or woman is we've lost  

that basic freedom we are locked in a aluminum  foil or metal or cloth a cage so he cannot he  

can't see out it's uh it's very very anti-freedom  rob go ahead judy no no i was going to you know  

well so this is interesting so today our governor  comes out lock down mcgee holcomb himself and uh  

says okay so uh we're gonna finally lift the  mask mandate but we're gonna wait until april 6th  

that's kind of a random day why  are we waiting till april 6th  

because april 5th is the day that the ncaa  basketball tournament gets out of town  

so this is the bullcrap science that they  talk about that the governor facilitates a  

basketball tournament to come here because  he likes basketball now admits people don't  

have to be wearing masks anymore and yet he's  going to wait until the ncaa tournament gets  

out of town because that's what the ncaa wanted  him to do these republicans and democrats are  

completely embedded together on most of the  stuff and it's to serve corporate bosses and  

and and donors and lobbyists ahead of the people  i wanted to puke watching this this infomercial  

he had today i wanted to puke well look look  let's let's add up the things that have happened  

just since the election the crazed lie there  was an insurrection trying to seize control  

of the government that was just a bunch of  goofballs wandering around the capitol it was  

bad things should never have happened very bad  people who did it deserve to be punished but an  

that's just nonsense the gun seizing  thing just nonsense the mass thing just in  

further and safer judah has it right the aim is  to enslave americans and when they start talking  

about getting rid of the constitution we'll know  that they really are really mean and and and  

that is when if the republican party doesn't  get off its butt and really fight like mad to  

keep the constitution then we are done for and  america was a great experiment it was a fabulous  

experiment and it didn't last i can't believe  how ben i can't believe it it's amazing when i  

hear these things coming out of your mouth it's  amazing and rob i said this the other night when  

i hear ben stein say the words like rhino when  i hear ben referring to republicans as spineless  

in my wildest dreams i never thought ben  stein would use these certain terminologies  

but there are some very good ones  and obviously you and i differ a  

lot about lindsey graham but i think he's  great well he no because he the reason i  

what you're asking for lindsey graham promised for  two and a half years and he never did right for  

two and a half yeah but look we we've got to all  get our brains in gear just take whatever coffee  

i don't think all that tea chocolate whatever and  we need for energy get out there start right away  

on the next on the midterm elections i am  so motivated that even though i'm very very  

very very concerned about the recession and about  money i'm going to write a check to the republican  

senatorial campaign committee just tonight i'll  write one for the congratulations wait ben i  

really think you should wait and be selective i  really think you should because i think there i  

think there are going to be certain primaries  certain people that are running against people  

that we do not want in there so for instance in  illinois if we could get this guy if we could get  

this guy was how do you pronounce it rob kissinger  out and there's a primary guy that's primary him  

that's where you put your money it's time to get  these rhinos out it's time to get these people  

the eight people that voted to impeach in  the house or nine out that's that's what we  

should you we this is we could do this you  know people always say what's the solution  

is to strategically pick people and primary  people that are in safe republican places but  

those people don't represent who are there right  now republican values so for instance indiana is  

the perfect example rob i'm sure there's some  red towns there you know that that might be run  

by rhinos so you get rid of you you strategically  pick these certain areas well yeah two things one  

ben had a piggyback on judah and i say this as  a compliment somebody who watches the show on  

the regular since i started coming on and is a  huge fan of yours and has been for a long time  

the other day they go wow stein stein's really  coming around and they said that because they  

love you and and as judah said to hear you say  some of these things are wonderful and amazing

in indiana we could start by primarying our  senator who's up for reelection next year  

todd young who's done nothing the the  landscape is littered with republicans  

who are obsessed with power they've done nothing  they do nothing the only thing todd young has  

done in the in the five years he's been there is  raised the smoking age across the board across the  

united states to 21. that was his bill other than  that he's asked mitch mcconnell for permission  

for everything else he's had to do so you're  absolutely right judah republicans in many  

cases are the problem and you got to get  those guys out and then let's start with  

but my point is let's start working on it right  away which i don't want to have it happen where  

we wait to the last minute to turn on the gas or  seven i should say step right for the campaign  

the campaign for mr trump was not a fabulously  well-run campaign and didn't really hit high  

gear until quite late in the campaign let's  not let that happen this time let's get  

high gear right away well i think the biggest  thing you're referring to as far as high gear  

the silent majority listen let's let's  be real no matter what we did we weren't  

going to win this election i mean let's let's  let's let let's be totally realistic no matter  

what number trump came up with the number  there was going to be greater votes provided  

just hypothetically speaking of course no matter  how many votes i mean and i always remember you  

know talking to you that night and i don't care  how many times we have to bring it up when i  

called you up at 2 30 in the morning and i said to  you ben it's over it's done the fix is in you said  

the fix is in and you said you're wrong and and  you know and and and and i wish i would have been  

wrong i i wasn't wrong i was well whatever but the  the thing that has to really get out like you just  

said ben the thing that was a little too late for  the party was the silent majority right we started  

seeing with two months before the election and a  month we started seeing all these caravans even in  

beverly hills we started yes lots of valleys and  lots of them down in the desert too we have a home  

down in the desert lots of them in the desert too  that's what really needs to be started now that's  

what really we need to see like you said get  off our asses and start really rallying and if  

they want to call it an insurrection if they want  to call it whatever we're doing but but decide but  

but people need to realize because i think people  still feel uncomfortable with asso with a lot with  

saying out loud they're a trump supporter  obviously so many people are in the closet  

more and more people need to start coming out and  saying you know what i'm a trump supporter i'm  

a conservative i'm this or i'm that but i i it's  time to it's time to fight it's time to peacefully  

fight back you know always peacefully always  time to fight back rally vote pray right right  

right right right appear on tv any chance you  can appear on the internet any chance you can  

i mean people always say to me why do you bother  going on the internet when you you have so many  

other things to do because every time i go even if  i just get one vote for a change in administration  

a change in government it's well worth doing  it this is my country i love my country i'll  

do anything to get the constitution back you  brought up something i was just trying to if  

you just tuned in you are listening to the world  according to ben stein we're joined by the newly

rob kendall from 931 widc bam the computer of  conservative talk radio and the reason i always  

do that people are curious is because it's one  of my favorite scenes in rain man when he kept on  

saying 97x bam the future of rock and roll and of  course ben stein but you raise a great point ben  

and somebody told us to me years ago about the  12 steps you know that every time you speak  

you know you have to remember you have one vote  your voice is your vote your what you're saying  

could affect and change people's lives so be very  careful with what you say and you know i i don't  

know where it got lost the precious thing of our  one vote how important that is ben how people died  

so we have each absolutely absolutely my wifey and  i watched watch documentaries about world war one  

world war ii world war two night every night and  i'm thinking there are these guys getting leeches  

attached to their bodies having their limbs blown  off having their brains blown out so that we can  

vote and then i have friends who are conservatives  who really love america and really love the  

constitution they just said it's too much trouble  to vote and anyway it's reacted against you no it  

is maybe it is somewhat rigged but i mean i mean  enough americans who love the constitution turnout  

it will be say well it will be saved that must  be saved must must must be saved rob will you you  

know you're a little younger than i am rob um were  you told in school the importance of your vote  

no i don't no i don't that's a great  point i guess i would i guess it was  

ingrained in me because my grandfather was a world  war ii vet and my dad was very politically uh  

conscious and and we talked a lot about it  growing up so i guess it was ingrained in me  

from my family the importance of voting but  like i don't know how it is in california it's  

probably even worse there you basically only  have to take one semester of civics in high  

school in the state of indiana you think i don't  know just take any in california i don't know  

i'm not sure they do i mean i just read about  a uh a school district uh in oakland california  

i think we've talked about this before  where one person in the entire high school  

was proficient in mathematics and i think maybe  it was zero were proficient in reading and they're  

not being taught anything except how the white  man is oppressing him that's got to stop i mean  

you know where we are people the democrats  like to talk about insurrection we're facing  

an insurrection right now in which the young  people of america are being taught that their  

country is rotten to the core as they must step  forward and do something to change this country  

around change the country's government around  that's terrifying that's really really terrifying  

and yes i am much older i'm sure i'm as old as as  old as the two of you put together of course we  

were taught to love and worship the constitution  and venerate the constitution yes of course we  

thought that slavery was a terrible terrible thing  and but nothing like it must ever happen again  

but what are they taught now who knows if  anything is being taught now that's a great  

question because i don't have kids in school i  highly doubt these things are being taught you  

have this town now in atlanta i believe that it  is uh starting with reparations i'm not kidding  

um you know we are heading down ben i i in my  wildest dreams and i i say this to people you know  

i said this the other night it's like i turned off  the tv and i turned it back on and i was watching  

a whole new network of network you know it  it's like i do not i i can't believe i'm and is  

and aside from the masks it's a country i never  thought i would say i don't recognize i truly but  

when i read the newspaper when i go out and about  to the stores i have an interesting thing i should  

do when i'm checking out of the pavilions which is  my favorite uh grocery store it's a really great  

question or out of the vintage which is a great  grocery store in melbourne do you do your own  

grocery shopping bin what you do your own grocery  shop i do i do good for you yeah thank you i  

i had a i have it i said i always say the checker  a checkout person i always say god bless you man  

and he or she will often say god bless you and  i i almost always add and god bless america  

by the way none of them say it back to me that  really bothers me unless they're as old as i  

am then they'll say it back to me no it's it's ben  it's frightening it's um but somebody corrected me  

thank you it's evanston illinois it's not atlanta  it's not atlanta but you're right ben there's that  

that thing that that that that we've lost that  that um conversation you know that even that  

that that have a great day that that that thing at  the end of the checkout line we we we we we have  

gone astray i mean i i don't um think rob there's  any i mean i know you live in a small town rob  

smallish town i should say you know in indiana but  um i mean i would imagine the same things going  

on there no there's a rapid and public education  is a huge part of it and and whether you live in  

a liberal place like where you guys are or  a conservative republican state like indiana  

uh look i live in a in a a highly republican  republican suburb but yet the you know they've  

got the the equity officer here you know in the  school system oh no no no no no it's just it's  

just common sense no no no no no no rob no rob  explain to people because i've never no no no no  

i've never heard you want to get you want to give  it a go first the equity officer is the person  

you go to and you complain that you're being  mistreated because you're black or a woman or  

of uh asian extraction and you are that is where  you go to just to lodge your racial complaints  

and get people into trouble and get yourself  excused from doing any homework and and and all  

of these suburban school systems so we're you know  they call donut counties because it forms a donut  

around indianapolis which is hardcore liberal  but all the donut counties are conservative  

they're all starting to do this stuff and so the  question becomes i know we've asked it before  

voting is not enough liberals find a way to  infiltrate everything and here in our state in in  

these republican areas they're still getting  into the public education it's amazing  

the tool the ideological tool that is being used  to destroy education destroy policing destroy  

murder control destroy the constitution is the  false allegation of racism the amazing thing is  

i remember when racism was a real thing when  legalized racism was a real thing now it's an  

imaginary thing and it's more real than ever  in terms of its control over the mind of the  

body politics and of the politicians racism  allegations the false allegation of racism  

is going to be the death of this incredibly  great country which has already made unimaginable  

strides towards equality for everyone and the  the interesting thing it's like when i went to  

school my dad every day when i'd come home  would ask me what i learned and if there was  

stuff that was bullcrap he would challenge me  on it and it's very clear even in these again  

i keep doing the air quotes because at least  in name they're republican areas it's clear  

these parents aren't doing this because there's  no way these things like these equity officers  

should be allowed to function in republican area  school districts yet it's obvious many of these  

parents are just sending their kids to school  and going yeah whatever it is is what it is  

you know what i can you know what i gotta ask you  both and i can't understand this i really have a  

hard time with this if you if everybody like you  know we're talking about like some i'm 44 i don't  

know how old you are but if all these parents of  parenting age i would imagine some of them are 30  

yeah don't they have i mean critical thinking i  know it's dead they don't know a goddamn thing  

but just to say to yourself god i did  that you know it it it's like you know  

to look back on situations that we've all done you  know there's nobody safe from the from the public  

bureau they're just they're doing that that's  i talked to that phrase yeah you did and you  

you taught it to me very well there's no because  we've all done we've all done what these crimes  

these crimes against humanity we've all done so  that's the point why that's where what their goal  

and their that's their endgame is knowing that  people are all guilty of something so they're not  

going to stand up for themselves because they're  scared of something they might have tweeted  

texted emailed said anything and there's no  due process so somebody could come out and say  

hey rob kendall did this thing so and so  10 years ago and rob's got no defense and  

that's their game and that's i believe why these  republicans are scary it's very very much like sex  

harassment allegations someone says oh uh uh when  i was uh in uh uh 12th i was a senior in college  

ben stein sexually harassed me holy smoke  that's close to 50 no it's more than 50  

years ago how am i gonna prove that's  true yet the allegations can be made  

no it's it is it it's terrible there is a  quarterback right now and i'm not kidding  

for the um houston texans who is being accused  at this moment it's gone from it started at one  

and ben this happened like what rob when did the  story break on friday yeah it's like over five  

days yeah over a five-day period ben guess the  amount of women that have come out and accused him  

masseuses of being inappropriate in a five-day  period how many lawsuits by different women take  

a guess let me seriously masseuses masseuses yes  massage therapist five 16. he has 16 he has 16  

lawsuits against him he orders 16 civil lawsuits  and i've written ben this is where i i've read it  

you know it's it you you're a masseuse going  to an athlete's house i'm not defending i  

i don't i'm not taking sides in this thing  for all i know maybe he did nefarious things  

but i mean there are certain things if you're  listening what craziness i mean it's absolutely  

crazy and they're ruining it for everybody that's  what they don't get they are taking the joy  

and any everything that's brilliant they take  everything we're talking about is taking the  

joy out of life the masks take the joy out of  life the boosters that may or may not work i  

have my doubts about whether or not they work  they're taking the joy out of life the stats  

taking scaring people that the gestapo is  going to come in and take away their guns  

accusing people of sexual crimes which are just  incredibly trivial i mean i'm no fan of mr cuomo  

the governor of new york but god's other stuff  he secured his accused of helping a woman out of  

her chair at a dinner party and then she left  kissing her hand what the heck that is now a  

crime this is just you're right you're taking all  the joy out of life in the wonderful novel 1984  

there's a thing called the anti-sex league and  that's what we're getting at now the anti-sex  

league it's really really scary no and and it  begs to like you know it's like i was talking  

to a friend of mine less and i said to him you  know because i'm not dating but you know not  

not a choice but um just because you know as  i told as i told rob i posted on my profile  

i'm a conservative and now i get people that  are emailing me well how conservative are you  

and i'm like you look good you look good for  44 judah you live thank you i had you at 34.  

thank you very much and i say and they say how  conservative are you and i go i'm all the way  

you know and even like this they took the joy out  of me posting something saying don't talk to me  

because i'm saying to you this is my political  thing stop questioning me on how i am just because  

you might like my my um my picture or something  it's like it it's it's been this next generation  

i got to tell you if you're 25 30 or under  you're screwed what i'm not 25. you look at it  

and i said but this next generation is  screwed i mean are you allowed to open a  

car door for a girl or is that sexist because  she could open the car door for herself right

you're going to be leaving your  house with a million questions  

so i mean it's almost like i feel like every  day on the news what's allowed today very scary
