From the tensions in the Middle East, to tensions in America, to Ben teaching us how he cooks a steak. How the minority is dictating the majority,
1absolutely insane what that's going to do that 150 dollars yeah that's crazy it's insane this is
absolute crazy talk but you were i mean what what could be a better birthday present than ben stein
saying something nice to you that's not he was what he's referring to ben's referring to the
hilton trying to get hilton a birthday thing i'll be happy to do for 149.99 i'm happy or anniversary
or sons graduating from sixth grade or something but the commercial for a giant many many many
hundreds of billions of dollars no i don't think so and on that note i want to welcome everybody
to the world according to that man benjamin jeremy stein i want to welcome everybody that's watching
our youtube chat and i want to watch everybody thank everybody that's been downloading um or
watching on rumble we will be posting exclusive videos on rumble.com um and ben's been uh sending
me videos so we can post but i want to welcome everybody i want to thank everybody and of course
before i start the show i want to send my prayers and my thoughts to my brothers and sisters in
israel who are in the midst of operation guardians of the wall walls and um my prayers are with you
got my yamacon for you and um you're in my thoughts you're in my prayers and um
yeah and on that note i welcome everybody to the world according to ben stein we're joined tonight
by the man um i was thinking so much about you today ken lacourt because i had a conversation
with somebody where they said to me somebody i'm very close to and i'm not saying this in a
negative way where they said to me well we have to pray and um in regards to social media you know we
just have to pray it and i was like and then i'm thinking about ken mccourt and i'm like thank god
for kevlar lacour because ken lacour from the media action network is not about praying he's
about action and he's about fighting back against the the storm that is social media is coming upon
us in this country well thank you i've never been an answer to a prayer best i've known before so
well we pray you know we pray for and you know people have to act you know prayer without
works as they say ben stein is dead um that's a faith without words some people think faith
alone is enough right and of course we're joined tonight from 931 wibc bam the future
of conservative talk radio not the future the conservative talk radio of the present
and the future rob kendall as always welcome back sir ben before we are done tonight i have a very
important question later to ask you my dad is a gigantic fan and he has given me a specific
ask ben question tonight okay let's hear it are we getting it right off the gate well why not
dad wants to know all about your appearance on seinfeld it was a brief appearance and i played a
if i remember correctly i played a lawyer who was talking to uh who was his kramer i think about his
grammar about his will and somehow told kramer that i wouldn't appear until i was just about
to die and i appeared early for some reason grammar thought he was just about to die got
very panicked about it so that was that but i must say i miss those days of being on lots of episodic
tv shows i miss them very very much very much so there's so much you got the past that i miss
how does that happen do they does like seinfeld people reach out to you larry i mean there
was a time when i was a very famous character actor in hollywood i'd be not not just famous
very famous and uh it was great days but to now i'm just uh cranky old conservative and
and that's ben's introduction to the to the show tonight is he's a cranky old conservative
um that likes diet coke he's a provocateur he's a saint he's a sinner he's a lover he's a father
he's a grandfather he's a husband he's uh he's a professor but of course he's also
a doctor and your counterpart doctor today dr jill biden said she feels naked without a mask
my question is how do you feel then when you're naked and this is the where did you wear her mask
naked i i can't think of it i'm thinking uh
i think i think i know her she wears your mask and um but that's the uh that that's the uh
the the scary thing the cdc said today ben stein that uh you can you no longer have to wear your
masks indoors or outdoors if you are vaccinated um that's great that that is a hundred percent
great but my biggest fear is people have become so indoctrinated right now by by by this year-long
thing i wanted to get to the major point i was talking to kent that i was talking to other people
i was talking to you covid to me was what they tried to do is what people call it the great reset
right they hated the path trump had brought us down which was liberty which was freedom
was which was prosperity they wanted to go back to the old wall old war or war world order what
better way of people keeping people confined to their homes wearing masks inside their homes as
you've said taking their faces away and that's the experience i think they've tried to and i think
they'll continue on with that method i think the mask thing is more serious than most of us realize
a man or a woman's fluid gender anybody uh face is incredibly important in determining
what kind of a person is kind of person that the owner that faces you cannot know much about
a person without being able to see his or her face and to wrap us all up in anonymous mass
essentially divides us of personality personality is a huge part of life and it's very scary to me
that we are taking away human personality it reminds me very much of uh the anti-sex league
in 1984 which is the the template of the there that the blind people are working on
which aimed to take away the orgasm from human reproductive function and uh that that they said
would permanently eliminate a great great deal of all human emotion and human feelings about other
humans and also eliminate a great deal what makes human beings unique but i think what i'm trying
to say then i think it goes deeper than that i think we're damn deep that no that is pretty
that's an excellent point of your deepness but i wanted to take it even deeper into the sense that
what they are trying to accomplish now is is we are seeing there's a storm front coming back
and i am petrified of this storm front of what they could get away with
and that's where i'm robbed that's my the bigger point of what i'm raising
right and in a weird and not in a weird way in an actual way it worked for him i mean think about
what they did by destroying this country they got biden elected president they took the us senate
they made people think that trump supporters are a bunch of insurrectionists who are trying
to overtake the government so in a weird way in a sick way they got rewarded for all of it well
they they have stays they could i mean i don't think there's ever been anything quite like it
except in nazi germany when essentially hitler did not have a majority of the voters
in fact his percentage of the voters had been very substantial but it was falling and he was
asked to deform a new government as the share of the vote was following why he has super powerful
media and the stormtroopers behind him the stormtroopers just beat up anybody who marched
against him and this is sort of what that was happening with the democrat party in the united
states of america they have black lives matter and antifa and other people go around beating
those who do not agree with them you're i mean you know i sent ben and people to find this p
this video clip on rumble basically what happened was last night i sent them a clip of andrew yang
who tweeted uh his support for israel and he was viciously violently attacked
on twitter ken lacourt and then of course what does he do he apologizes
because that's going to make it better and then secondly he says i pray for the ada for the people
that were killed in in i don't even want to call palestine because it's not palestine and
that's it there is a civil war i mean republicans might not get along ken at this point all of us
but there is more of a civil war going on in the democrat party than than meets the eye i think
that's there i think the party that's in power usually has a tendency to throw throw mud pies at
each other's heads the party out of power even if you don't like the guy next to you you know you're
losing so you you know you put up with them for a little bit longer and go after the other guys
no i think this is a lot deeper though ben i think the the the the the the from in you were in the
video you were referring to the squad now that now now i know you know like obama called isis
the jv team it turned out they were a lot darker and a lot uh more dangerous than just your average
um jv team and i think this squad while small in number is extremely dangerous i mean resilient
energetic they're working off a marxist playbook which has been shown to work over and over again
an incredibly specious appeal to equality and uh prosperity mixed with violence i mean
the russians communism never ever stays in power for very long unless it is enforced there by
at bay at that point that i'm terribly afraid is what's happening in the in the united states
although it's not banana point it's riot point it's billy club plans milestone cocktail point
it's some point where people are going to get really badly hurt i don't think we're that
far away from that ken i i don't i you know i'm looking at neighborhoods where people are going
to start using protection on them for themselves um you're looking at a you know reactions um
i don't think you can control once once things certain things start happening
well i i hope so i hope so because but i think there's some control now because we can't have
another civil war because they have islamic weapons so there couldn't be another civil
war these i hope not uh but and and we have people are so incredibly well armed all over the country
i don't think we could have another civil war but we are essentially having as my old dear friend
and next-door neighbor uh carl bernstein said a cold civil war and it's cold indeed and uh carl
and i are idealized on completely different pages but uh he he's right about that we're
having a cold civil war and it's it's getting really serious it's getting to the point where
it is basically trashing the first amendment and that's the question i have a question
and then you are uniquely qualified to answer this because you are around these politicians
and have been why do they listen to social media like three percent of americans are on twitter
ken's the best person to ask that question to because this is him
again you know twitter twitter got popular because reporters love to use it the easiest way to get a
hold of a reporter is go on to his or her twitter page and do a direct tweet at them why did they
like it because they got to kind of report stuff and say stuff without having their bosses over
over over them right that you know all reporters have editors unless you're on twitter and so they
had a good five-year run on it um um but then this ecosphere you know this ecosphere went up look a
lot i mean twitter punches above its weight class on things i don't think facebook or most of the
other sites do but but a lot of a lot of popular and powerful and and and media savvy people on
both sides of the aisle more on the liberal side are on twitter that's just kind of it's like why
is cable news punch above its weight class i mean for the for the amount of people who watch cable
news in a typical day or or night those numbers are are picky units they're small it's who's on
there um which is important it's when you go into congress members office and you see either cnn or
fox streaming continuously that's that's what allows some mediums to do better than others
see rob the better question for ben would be could could the could the people in the house and the
senate do they have enough balls to withstand that what they what is perceived as the majority
when it's in a really thin minority causing the damage do they have the willpower and to fight
to fight this but surely they but surely they know it's not the majority right they have to
it it it to them it look at what look i mean as we've spoken about on this show
turn on any network turn on any sporting event turn on anything and it seems like the majority
you know it it's like you know smoke and mirrors it's not but to these people on the left it does
seem i mean in the house i would imagine ben it looks like you know you go back to nixon nixon
didn't have to resign we've discussed this if fox news were around when nixon was there he wouldn't
have resigned probably people in the house were listening to voices that probably didn't make
sense and they all betrayed him well they betrayed him but i think to go back again to the question
why why do these networks punch you up their weight loss as a wonderful phrase it's because
there's nobody else that's giving you a minute-by-minute survey of what people are
thinking yes this is three percent as you say or two percent or four percent of the population but
statistically speaking that's enough people to be an approximation of valid so if they're getting a
deluge of thoughts about something and showing themselves something some subject and 100 or 98
of them are all going in one direction it's going to make the people watching think uh
oh i'm on the wrong side or oh i'm on the right side because there's nobody else giving him any
information about viewership whatsoever and these places don't you need viewership to make money
rob was that helpful at all yeah it just floors me though that that people give in so easily i
guess that's what i don't understand especially republicans who know that twitter is largely
dominated by liberals this is why people like ken lacourt are so important in the
media action network is so darn important ken you know look how much are republicans
capitulating these days i i've seen them toughen up certainly on the you know on the on the list
i mean look there's a million things that were you know i don't know exactly what we're talking about
we went from riot somehow to twitter and and and there's a lot of there's a lot of kind of issues
going on you know trump showed republicans how to fight back and i think a lot of them took
that took that to heart are they going to be as good as effective as him probably not because he
was a rarity on that but i mean you know you don't see them apologizing and falling down because they
because they said something mildly offensive to you know somebody with with a nose ring
and blue hair um so but that's this bad let's let's back up even further or farther than that
and say if you're a politician how do you know what people are thinking in 1936 uh franklin
delano roosevelt won by what was at the time the largest landslide there had ever been in the u.s
yet many people in the media predicted that landon was going to win the republican
because there had been a poll in some very very powerful magazine like fortune and it said send
in this card and don't give us your name just tells your address or your families they didn't
have zip codes then we'll just say your new street address and uh we will tell you who's going to win
and the great majority of people standing in court they were going to vote for landon
uh well the people who were reading these results didn't realize that only a tiny fraction of people
in the united states were represented by these subscribers and they were those subscribers were
very much more affluent than the average american so the results were completely skewed but they are
the only results that they had at the time so they went with them and on that note if you just tuned
in you are listening to the world according to ben stein you're definitely going to not win we
are we are jumping around a little bit but i want to remind everybody please thank you for all the
download uh love you've uh on we are on every site you can download so i'm sure if you have
problems with apple there is one place that you could download our streams i also remind everybody
to go to rumble.com i was able to get on at the parlor for a minute today hopefully tomorrow will
be two um and uh rumble on sing our song um we're joined tonight from the media action network song
is it is that i mean a led zeppelin song yes sir good for good on ya as they say in australia good
job man and um we're joined by the media action network's ken lacour rob kendall from 931 wibc
and of course benjamin jeremy stein um but one of the things i wanted to talk about and getting
back to this uh um social media thing and just to get back to it a little bit you know we talk about
germany a lot being a jew is against the law to be a jew now it's against the law in a sense to
defend yourself as a jew in the eyes of obviously many countries and many people in this country
um but ken i noticed the the the same level of it's they believe there's an iron dome
so that's it's like a hundred percent missile proof you know but ten percent get through and
kill people and it's sort of like they're saying going back up i think that's higher
than 90 percent i read today it's 90 but either way it's it goes to in our country we have an
assault on policemen right now we have an assault on on uh people are are and ben's a little low on
oxygen that's why he's doing that people please don't be scared um but the major thing is oxygen
what else would it uh but um it's not distracting but can there's an acceptability going on
that it's like if you have somehow have a a bulletproof vest you're allowed to be shot at
you're allowed to be stormed you're allowed to be hassled you're allowed to be chased
sir is there a question involved in that yes i got it
you're on the ball again that's really really good okay i think it's a damn good question too
let's go back even farther here was a strip of land in the middle east it had some very
beautiful spots mostly it was donkey crap on piles of sand the jews came along refugees from europe
some incredible horrible mind-boggling mystery run by europeans and they were brought there they
sneaked they walked sometimes into uh palestine as it was called then or whatever was called then
and they uh they established various pockets of jews and then when the u.n came along they were
going to make a jewish state they held up these targets and said well we wanted to stay too and so
they were states too and and then time bound and eisenhower said well i would have gotten the uh
whether the korean war over with uh let's do something i remember about we haven't
sorry i bring everybody he said sorry i'm really getting confused because this oxygen is so strong
uh i'm let me start again the i'm going to take off this oxygen it's too strong the uh the uh the
united states and britain and france said okay we've been promising the jews the homeland of
the middle east right hell of a long time let's finally do it the arab said we'll kill you all
if you do it we're going to kill you all and kill the man the women and children are going to kill
all of you jew all of you jesus kill them kill you and they were armed by the western powers
the jews had almost nothing they fought back with the sheer nerve incredible courage bravado
and ingenuity and they beat the arabs and they established israel as a much bigger
country than it was going to be under the u.n mandate so the arabs were permanently angry why
of all the conflicts in the world have we permitted this one to linger on for 50 no
my god it's now close to 75 years why have we prevented this london gone why have we said to
the jews of all the people you found a state you take donkey [ __ ] and you make it into one
of the world's top industrial and medical powers but probably the top military power for its size
in the whole world and so we hate you for it why when are people going to honestly say in the media
even in the new york times which is owned by jews what are they what are they going to say
we're jealous these guys came along and they did something incredible they wrought a miracle
in the desert when are people going to say and therefore people hated them for it jealousy envy
that's what arabism is about jealousy envy that's what the antifa and black lives matter are about
jealousy and envy are stirred up like it's crazy when people behold the state of israel brilliantly
said and i will take an oxygen deprived ben stein over any oxygen um non-deprived
person in the media or analyst out there god bless you sir that was incredible rob kendall
you know it's it's by the way i just want to say it's absolutely fascinating to listen to ben
stein talk about anything much less things of that nature and realize i'm gonna show ben stein that's
incredible it's it's it's like it's like field of dreams well god bless you you honor me way beyond
what i deserve but but isn't it fascinating we talked about this on the air uh today and it was
this idea that we are not invested as a country from our government perspective in the success of
israel and what possible reason could there be not to regardless of what your political opinion is
we should want and surely for israel to to thrive well well first of all ken la court i'd like to
hear from you about this because you're a man who knows how to handle a gun so i'd like to hear from
you oh i i think your analysis was 100 right on and and that's been part of of throughout the
recent in and distant world history has there's been a lot of resentment towards jews and and
and a lot of it is just there is a huge success going on there and that's that's fundamental
pure the fuhrer himself said that how many people on this panel have read mineconf i have
fuhrer himself said there is one race that has gone through every kind of crisis imaginable
and yet come out smiling and incredibly powerful and prosperous that's the jews
we've got to kill them everybody we've got to kill him essentially that's what the squad and those
vile horrible creatures just as an opinion i don't know maybe if i knew them better i'd like them
uh are saying essentially we we we think these people by virtue they're being so successful so
smart so capable having discovered so many cures for diseases they think they ought to be killed
can't can back to you yeah i mean look you picked a bad neighborhood to go back to it's like you
know i've been to enough of the middle east too and and there's there's you know there there's
one country that kind of has it shipped together in the middle east and and that is israel um
trying to think of another one not not counting the you know not counting that no there's there
and they were able to buy you know kuwait or you know some some of those others but they they uh
they did how do i say they inherited it instead of built it um but yeah look you know what as
i will never forget going to the museum in uh in washington dc which is now shuttered but it was
a news museum and uh and news corp where i was working for at the time it sponsored one of the
wings where you could look at at old newspapers and i remember pulling out a in a newspaper from
the late 1800s early 1900s and it was literally like palestinians and jews and it was like it was
like the headlines for today they didn't have rockets but they were the same so it's like
we should always care about humanitarian israel's been a good a good ally they're you know they help
us out a lot back and forth they wouldn't exist without the united states or at least through its
history so so you know there should be a couple thank you cards coming on our birthdays every once
in a while um um but i'm also convinced that when my grandkids are our age there's gonna be that
same fight going on there no you're completely yeah ben my wifey the world's finest human being
big wifey she has a right she said it's the anti-semitism among people in uh europe and the
middle east is genetic it's so deep inside them it's genetic just like envy as fanatic kane slew
able because kane was jealous of abel's abilities and success this whole story of the middle east is
kane slew abel over and over again and only this time abel didn't get killed he fought back and
he won but keynes walked away and he got help from the russians and soon he was a big scary
bear and he came back and david killed again abel killed him again still came back this envy is a
huge huge part of look you said as i say read nazi read nazi propaganda look at nazi movies the jews
have all the cute girls the jews have all the nice cars the jews have all the the uh great businesses
therefore we've got to kill him same thing today hamas looks across the desert wasteland of crap
that they've made and they and they see israel shining shimmering gleaming in the distance
let's kill him seems like the way you guys control the media you get a better spin on this value
we just see that's the thing as larry clayton who was on the show a couple of days ago said
jews do have a huge amount of in influence in the media huge but they're not the jews of the bible
they are not the jews that richard nixon admired so much these are jews who worship money and marx
it's a fascinating thing to be in hollywood which i have been now since 1976 and see
very very successful jews whose twin worship is money and marks yes mark supposedly is about
sharing wealth money is not about that but they that is exactly what co-exists in hollywood
money and marks you know can you raise the grape you talked about nixon for a second
he had some he had some not nice thing to say about jews when he was on his recordings when you
now i you you certainly know it firsthand and second and third hand better than i do
i remember hearing some of that stuff you're like yeah it didn't sound great how did you how did you
view that when you heard some of his some of those those conversations standard uh gentile
country club southern california talk if you went into i live uh in the exact dead middle
of beverly hills about a mile west of here is the l.a country club does basically with a very tiny
uh a number of exceptions they don't take jews that's it garnish we're jewish we gotta
even though the neighborhood around them is overwhelmingly jewish they don't take truth
it's uh you you would hear the exact same conversation about jews right now we we're
we have we belong to a country club out in the desert it's got it's about half jews after ten
dollars you don't hear much much uh racism there exactly none that i've heard but uh go a little
farther east go to uh uh some really really really fancy uh country clubs that really really old wasp
money founded or tower oil money found and there you are uh same anti-semitic chatter
one of my wife's family's best friends was a member of this club eldorado and uh i would
go there they were just endlessly making fun of jews endlessly anderson with a smile to be sure
but the same stuff and ken and rob let me give you a little history okay when nixon and and ben and
mike and ben and i speak about we're we're we're referring to the american jew we're not referring
to the israeli jew and in nixon's obviously i don't need to defend them because he saved israel
and as ben has come constantly said and i counsel to say i'd rather have somebody
call me a [ __ ] and save my life and tell me they love me like obama and you know uh pretty much
not you know not care about um not not give a [ __ ] about me um so nixon was
and a lot of those people were referring to the american jew because i got to be honest if
you're saving people's lives it's very hard to understand their lack of as you said gratitude
very hard to understand i see it all the time look i have i have all my fam my wife my wife
presbyterian her whole family our presbyterians they're incredibly wonderful people there the salt
of the earth i love them so much i can't hardly speak about them without tears filling my eyes
my side of the family are all jews and they are blasting israel blasting america all the time i
think what the f is wrong with you you live in the greatest place in the world it's a country that
has so been so good to us jews it's unbelievable there's never been anything like it we should be
on our knees every day thanking god for is for america and for america's protection of israel
and america's particular jews instead they're out there whining and yelling and screaming
what the hell is going on gratitude you don't find it in the human race but you will find
one group i will tell you you'll find among jewish republicans jewish republicans i think are the
repository of some of the best values in america but ken i also want to thank you okay you want
some gratitude i'm going to give you gratitude now i lived in israel during the intifada i was there
when rabin was assassinated i lived through all the bombings and every day the only news station
that was in israel was cnn international and it was pretty much like watching himmler propaganda
it was like watching nazi propaganda and the only defender at the time that would come
on really was bibi um you know he was the one that was on there was no fox news at the time
um it was cnn and i think israel eventually might have banned cnn and allowed fox news and i want to
thank you guys from fox news because they were and and that's why people i think were so disappointed
now in fox news because we had an ally people felt like they had an ally and in fox news and i'm so
grateful to you guys ken for doing what you did because you're so grateful you're able to create
what you can't imagine and i mean that from the bottom of my heart because it was devastating can
you imagine you're somewhere and you're being told you're the reason you're being killed
and um and it's like this is the only news you have to watch if you speak english and
you understand english ken so god bless you guys at fox news that's my gratitude towards
fox news i used to be a regular on fox news i used to be on two or three times a week they never paid
me one single penny not a single cent i even had to pay my own makeup girl though she was was and
is a genius i was a pleasure to bear but uh they were they were the lifeline of america and that we
owe them so much it's insane and i think and so ken when people are angry at fox i think that's
what they're angered about was they finally had it's like the same thing with drudge they had this
they had this paper or this online site they had this news organization that they could call home
it was cheers to us conservatives and one day say you know it seemed like sam closed the bar on us
you know and fox news shut there shut the not all the voices but a lot of what we
would call home and that's why it's a little devastating to us the fox news that's changed
but i want to thank you again ken yes we thank you humbly and right when i say hum
i mean humbled well thank you it took me to israel a couple times so what i said fox took
me to israel a couple times go ahead well i was just going to tell you ben my grandmother loved
you on bulls and bears she thought you were great no no it was cavuto on business yes is is this
cavuto and i will tell you if i may respectfully if i followed my own advice i'd be a wealthy man
um and uh but if everybody followed your advice they would have been a wealthy man because all you
would say is invest in the dow invest in the spiders it was the best show on tv you deserve it
in my humble opinion you made neil cavuto on that network you were freaking a rock star on that show

formula i try to buy a prime not choice to prime and i and i see what's on sale in the way of prime
which has gone up phenomenally in the last year everything's going up for now unbelievably fun
and i uh and i i take it home that's the main thing i take it home i put it i have a frying pan
and i put some olive oil in there i heat it to a very high temperature i put the steak in put uh
seasoned salt and precision pepper and chives on it i to turn it over i put more on the other side
i turned it over i cut it into a knife it was it was still dead i bring it up to my wife actually
one of our nurses brings up to my wife she eats it heartily i myself make a baked potato with mine
and boy do i love baked potatoes wow the irish is so it's not surprising that iris are the best
looking smartest people in the world they those potatoes are incredible i mean the irish i'm right
there with you ken i i don't i didn't know that about the irish either but um i will trust ben
stein because he's very unbelievably smart people but i will i will tell you tonight i came home
early before this show i had a great steak from costco that was uncooked and i cooked it up in
a cast iron skillet right here and finished that about 15 minutes before this show started and i
want to welcome everybody back to the barefoot to the barefoot what kind of oil or cooking oil
did you put around it to get the heat onto it without breaking use a little bit of avocado oil
spray because it's a high it's a high uh because i crank it up until the pan's screaming right
and and i put a little bit of that on and then once it's cooled off the pan and i seared both
sides i toss in some butters and shallots and some of those fun stuff you have just tuned in
to the food network uh barefoot contessa starring ben stein and replacing the barefoot contessa
and ken replacing bobby flay i want to welcome everybody back to the world the car underground
oh wait wait wait wait wait wait years ago i went to bobby flays in manhattan it was
very disappointing i will tell you we should have a contest of some kind but the winner gets
to have ben stein cook him or her steak because mine are really really good or you could have
there's a show called beat bobby flay where you could go go up against him and his steak and um
that would be must-see tv that i think is something we should we should get the food network
to do but welcome back to the world according to ben stein we're having a little bit of fun
there's a there's a certain amount of seriousness you can be serious but at the same time we also
have to realize that as we've always sand the show you have to live life at the same time um
and it's important to live life and as ben always says we still do have the greatest country
right now by far by a million miles ken you brought up something very interesting you went
to the media museum and ben ben me ben i and his wife before the show we're talking about there is
it to call now the this the media is is a joke to call what's going on journalism is an absolute i
i i know what you saw the same page 100 years ago but i don't know if a hundred years ago they were
saying this about them that this was going on with the media well they did in the late 1800s early
1900s they called it yellow journalism back there and it was hearst and it was and it was it was
about the same as it as it was right now and look we're all complicit in it too i mean listen to
what we were all just talking about fox fox is 80 conservative now and 20 percent liberal and we're
all pissed off about it i mean i mean i want to be 100 conservative yes yeah cbs 100 well and that's
an argument and that's you know and trump wasn't wrong was like hey i look at all the other ones
out there they're 100 against me these guys are only 80 for me but here we were just trashing them
because they're not puritan they actually give us some of the other side and so but it's
deeper than that fox i don't i can't bring it up because i don't want this show banned and
because this is a really good fun show but fox did something on a certain night that yeah that
wasn't uh uh they're they're calling errol i don't want to talk yeah i i don't want to
get into it wasn't a political move that was that was their look i know how that [ __ ] works there
and that was their you know they've got their team they're trying to do it they they made them i mean
in in in the long stand they were right all right they double down they you know they screwed up on
on some things they thought some votes were coming from a place where they didn't come from it well
they thought it was absentee when it was dropped off and that got classified as absentee which
it kind of was but it was a very different grouping of people and then instead of backing
off that call but it's a little much just to say that i'm just saying that's where a lot of people
oh look a lot of people have a lot of problems with it i mean i don't know and by the way
robert kennedy was playing a [ __ ] war in a long time no i'm thoroughly enjoying this i just think
robert when it takes you two hours to announce indiana i don't know some people were kind
of turned off that it took you six seconds to announce other states because we love indiana
right as it comes that that's that yeah that that's that's right that's the right thing you
watch that channel for 12 hours you're going to see 80 to 90 gop talking point i have honestly but
that i i think that's that's another part of the problem ken is most the trump base isn't the gop
so so fox right now is catering to a crowd that's not the trump supporter that's not the trump base
they still think no offense listen we love tucker he tucker is out of his mind great phone called
amazing but you could literally put on certain other shows and have them and it
could have been the same show for the last four and a half years i mean no offense to
hannity he's great at what he does he's a great salesman he's great at gaslighting republicans
but if you look at the hannity show last night i could almost venture to say
it's the same show as it was three weeks ago he opens up by saying here's my opening monologue
which most people you don't you should never say that's like saying the letrataria okay if you're
speaking that's your monologue you don't need to make a point this is my opening monologue
but that's my only thing ken and i'm just trying to say to you that's where i see the differences
this isn't a knock on fox i think the trump base left fox hey hey on that note ben when you hosted
shows like such as turned benstein on how scripted was it how much freedom did you get if any
i got i would say almost 100 freedom the only time i remember being severely centered
was uh when we when i when jimmy kimmel and i were the ghost of wynn benstein's money we did a show
which had several extra charity shows in which the winner was required to give his or her or fluid
gender uh winnings to his or her flu agenda's favorite charity and they asked our favorite
charity and the person i think said something like i don't know uh i don't i don't know some animal
shelter which is a perfectly good charity and i said national right to life and this woman in the
audience who was from she was our bosses coming generally laughing laughing laughing i said to
her how rare to find a right to life enthusiast in hollywood like me and she said you're serious
about that all right we're reshooting him again we can't do that um by the way i just i i just want
to tell you my dad texted me during the show he's embarrassed that i didn't know what yamaka was
but he but yarmouka literally means fear fear of king slash heaven that's what that's what it means
it means y'all mulka fear of king slash heaven um you got a tutorial on what a yamaka is and so
did i my father must be so proud all my years of yeshiva education um but if you just tuned
in you are listening to how did they not teach you that how they did teach me that i forgot
okay i didn't forget i was a terrible student i i i didn't listen to my love of judaism
uh is is or zionism isn't necessarily steeped from my education okay let me just say like this
my high school principal resembled alan rickman from die hard and he used to call me mr friedman
and he'd call me to his office okay so that's why you don't get an education and and we in and
i want to tell people stuff we used to tell our parents there was something a little off about him
you know that he like you know that he used to like hanging out with the wrestling team
and none of the parents you know because because the kids that are always in trouble are always the
ones that nobody believes and let's just say the new york times did a whole expose on him
um where he liked the wrestling team a lot and um so that's i'm blaming it on rabbi
finkelstein you jackass and i know welcome back to the world according to ben stein it's been
we're having a fun time tonight i want to know ken what are you guys uh doing now
who what has been a big college week um uh we had the uh uh the president of the u of
college in colorado he he used the phrase trail of tears and uh he got the eject button you know
he wasn't talking about native americans he was just using it as a phrase and uh and and
he got fired we had um um we had the the team that was censored and had to apologize because
they wore sombreros on a dress-up day we had um um what was the gals there was oh oh and then
three college girls were photographed off campus not wearing masks and i forget the college and
and we sent them a lot of nasty emails and they were told that even though they were doing like
remote learning and they were told that they could not do that that they could not take
finals and that they lost the last semester which was a sixteen thousand dollar uh a semester school
um for for because they have to retake that semester over for not wearing a mask on an
on an outdoor off-campus event all right that's enough about that let's talk about something else
yes something that doesn't make us want to want to go rain bombs on somebody no but it's
extreme beneath i mean this is extremely important stuff because this is exactly
you know you you you do the small stuff just like with the masks just like with
you you you you beta test and you push and see how far how many people you could fire
how many people you could silence and and you keep pushing it and that's exactly what they're
doing so it's a professor here it's a student on campus there and before we know it it's all of us
right well god bless you let's go on to the next topic okay um i was
who is the secretary of state of the united states right now
nobody knows is that incredible that he's so invisible nobody even knows who he is
we don't know who the secretary of state is that is probably the senior cabinet position
and nobody knows who that version ec fluid gender is it was the secretary of defense
we think we know i think somebody named mr blinken or admiral blinken or something like
that i only know that because he spoke today that's the only reason and i saw his name
who's running the government it isn't the rothschilds the royal childs are long dead
who is running the government it isn't even according to claude dalman who was leading
conspiracy theorists he died about 50 some years ago who is running a government we we does not
yeah nobody knows who's running the government is is it a guy is there a government or is it
all just uh send it on the line to moscow or to beijing for approval or disapproval
and then they go on to the next thing who is running government i want to know that
i'm actually in shock i mean rob you could erase this part because i don't want you to be
that you didn't know that you said i didn't know it was a question to the group i didn't know
asking it to all of us i i didn't know what was going on did you know who the secretary is
saying you did know you did know the secretary of state it was at that long silent period where we
were all standing there you know like my brain froze what was it like it was like the scene
out of ferris bueller he just asked us he just asked this is a good question and all of us yeah
it's like it's blinking right anyone anyone but no ben you raised an extremely scary point that
none of us knows who exactly listen we have this pipeline issue right now right where
where they asked uh um you know what but biden if he if he knew that they had to pay a ransom
you know that when the the the pipeline got hacked we got gas supply we got guests in what what is it
virginia or north carolina or one of these cities north carolina south carolina and georgia my son
my beloved son my heart's blood whom i love so very much he can't get gasoline
hey i gotta i gotta go back and i either need to look it up or not it's blinking right
not the secretary of state you know right off hand no blinking's not the secretary of state he's
the secretary of defense right that's i just said that right but who is the secretary of state do we
have a secretary of state oh i would have guessed lincoln i fully own it i got it wrong who is this
no no you're right i'm according to google hi it's lincoln who is secretary of state is is is anthony
blink and lloyd austin is secretary of defense okay that was right so here oh yeah five minutes
later you're right i know you're right five minutes later rob it's okay if if you don't uh
listen it's it's very ben's completely right we have no senior people have been to the border
we don't know what's going on with this pipeline stuff we're gonna have gas we're gonna have gas
shortages and nobody knows are they're having kids and so and my question to you is how do
we have a gas shortage i i want to when you have a second i mean you're off your phone um
ben how do we have a gas shortage when trump bought all this gas and all this oil um
when it was dirt cheap or we have tons of rooms it has to be transported they can't just wave a wand
it's a big job transport hundreds of millions of gallons in barrels of oil it's a huge job so
were they not planning on getting out of covet as quickly as so they didn't uh send it i mean
i don't know what the flaw in the transportation strategy was i know mr buffett knows all about it
is his incredibly wonderful trains from burlington from the burlington northern santa fe pass right
by my one of one of my bedroom windows at our place at sandpoint i know they're they're
carrying coal they're getting oil they can't just get them from the carolinas to uh to seattle
somebody said the funniest thing they said ask hunter biden yes exactly look he's a high paid
he's a high paid oil executive that's actually a brilliant point from charisma but ken you being
in the media these are these are really i mean and especially being at fox news that we don't
know these things right now is is absolutely frightening that biden was at a press conference
and he didn't know and nobody dug deeper whether he knew i mean we all know of trump if a pipeline
was being hacked and blackmailed you know trump would have been the cause of the effect and
everything else to do with it but he would have gone over and kicked the [ __ ] out whoever did it
yes but but it can isn't this just like a mockery on the media that we don't know who
is who's in charge well we can't blame the media for not knowing who the secretary of
state is i just kind of i do are you getting ken you are getting that's good i like that
to be able to blame cnn or fox because because judah doesn't know the secretary of state
judah you are the producer
i knew i knew the secretary of state dean russ secretary of state with alex and i met at the
state department many many many years ago we loved being rusty he was wonderful god bless his role
uh the broader question though or the that that judy you were asking is you know why
didn't they pressure him to do things because you know they're basically working for the guy
uh they you know they they they are very soft towards him they you know and uh and they all
voted for him so how mean do you expect him to be i mean if it wasn't for the skinny guy who was uh
uh from fox in there asking questions every once in a while you wouldn't have any tough questions
i know it was steve ducey i know his name or pete
i know what's amazing is i know that skinny ass reporter from fox news more than i do who
it's scary who the head who the secretary of state or the secretary i could name you
the the all the women of the view you could name yeah i can name you the pool reporter but i can't
name you who's running the government right now and i would venture to say to you most people
are in the same boat most people would be able to tell you who aoc is but not tell
you if kamala harris or any of them aoc is a genius publicist and the media loves her
joe mccarthy senator from wisconsin who created the atmosphere known as mccarthyism
was great pals with the media they loved him they would drink with him they would play cards with
him he would tell them incredibly juicy about people that's how it works aoc is smart enough
we all steered her because she was a hostess at a mind bar or something like that she turns out
to know a lot more about how the world works than most of us do i say any of us do so let's give her
a little bit of credit i don't like her but let's give her a bit of credit she is she she uses a lot
of trump's tactics yes and primary tactic that trump would do is he'd be full of crap sometimes
and he'd go over 20 percent and all of his all of his supporters said that's not what he meant and
then the press would lose their minds over it and talk about him for two days that was that's what
that that strategy that i just left gave paved his path to the presidency and it started on the day
he announced when he said yeah you know there's a lot of murders and rapists coming from mexico
and then the press was like you can't say that he said that every single mexican is a murderer and
a rapist and this all everybody on the other side was like that's not what he said he overstated it
a little bit but i get his point and it gave him two weeks of press coverage and by the way you
know like how ken like everybody and ken how um every great point by the way but you know like
we started the show circle of life they hate the jews they hate this republicans we hate the media
that's it we blame everything it's all the media no no no no look i i i am like spencer tracy you
guys don't even remember transformation spencer tracy in the old manners say wrestling with the
giant sailfish or giant marlin or whatever he got way way way out in the gulf of mexico he's
day of the day it gets the media we're the old man going after the media and the media at the
same time is going after us they couldn't just wipe us out with a touch of their fingers and
they have tried and tried inside the truck but i know warren buffett and he told me certain ideas
about investing so i am not going to starve tomorrow and that's what all of us need to do
follow solve some way of maintaining financial security so that if there's a crisis you're not
going to be wiped out by the liberal big power structure perfectly said rob what are your callers
saying i just want before we wrap up what are your callers saying i i think i think there's
just a lot of fear right now over everything seems to be collapsing down on itself right
you can handle one thing going wrong you handle one crisis but it just seems like whether it's
the border it's the gas stuff it's prices in general it's the mood of the country it's the
lack of optimism in the country it's the lockdowns and stuff that still remain in place just seems a
lot of doom and gloom and i think it's really stressing people out and wearing them down
i think that's exceptional gorgeous says we're living in an occupied country occupied
by the bolshevists who use the kovitz which is a bad thing but as a strategy to eliminate our
personality and uniqueness as individuals this is a serious serious serious psychological blow
no other government in the united states ever tried to eliminate our personalities only the
only the only the biden people and and i have to say they're given a running start by mr trump and
i bet we're going to turn around i won't live long enough to see it but you who's the youngest on
the panel probably you robert you will live longer you will live long enough to see the dead see some
brave social scientists find out that government wasn't even that big of danger it was mostly a
prop to get us all hooked on government control and bro and ben you've done that no you brought
up a brilliant point on our way we're ending soon but um you you brought up that we're living in
an occupied territory and i love that and i love how they love to claim that israel is an occupier
right now american citizens are being occupied by the social radicals that threaten to destroy us
from within and if we don't follow people like ken mccourt from the media action network and punch
back against this absolute extremism no ken and i say that with all sincerity because you're doing
the job you're doing the yeoman's work and i everybody misses your feeds on parlor because
they can't get in your news site the court news puts out great stuff and i encourage
people to go to these sites because you're getting news stories that you wouldn't see
and there's ben's phone that apparently wasn't on my son
calling to tell me that the people united can never be defeated and uh i wanna you need to know
i wanna thank everybody that's been listening to youtube to this wild hour from cooking
to israel to social media and i want to remind everybody download the shows go to rumble.com
