Episode Transcription

i'm live not for long but i'm live

that's actually quite it's actually very funny  um let me uh we uh start this and let's hope  

this actually takes this time uh sorry i'm working  on it that's uh that's what we're working on we're  

saying we're workers we are not the bosses we're  not the bosses and i want to welcome everybody  

back to the world according to ben stein i am  sure we lost everybody in the youtube chat um  

but uh we are back sometimes uh technical  difficulties do happen especially in the age  

of zoom where you totally lose your internet  it's almost like as we were talking about ken  

about how there's a media blackout we became  blacked out and um i want to welcome everybody  

back to the world according to ben stein  uh we're here tonight with ken lacourt  

from media action network and of course  ben stein who's a little tired tonight  

but that's to be expected i got my hair cut  okay my haircut always makes me very diabetes  

each hair has a teeny tiny blood vessel in it  very very small and when you cut it the blood  

comes exploding out of your head but in microsoft  microscopic portions it then evaporates floats  

into the air and your brain blood is gone for  a few minutes but now it's coming back and uh  

that's the rumor but i want to welcome everybody  back this is back in the youtube chat i'll have  

to figure that out later how i'm going to do this  um with my vast technical skills but um ken one of  

the things um i we were talking about before the  break or before we got blocked out was joe biden  

and the media but one of the things and i really  want to get the solutions to tonight because  

you're doing something that's very interesting  with your media action network which is  

if for people that don't know here's the problem  now right you know and i was thinking about your  

your um your um the thing you're about to  do which is um have a bunch of people send  

letters to harry's razor because harry's razor  canceled um their commercials on a person's show  

because two people complain wait a minute wait a  minute wait a minute wait back up here pal i just  

bought some of those razors and i i can't believe  that tell me that part again i can't believe that  

and why don't you tell them oh they had a somebody  from a a twitter account with two followers which  

basically means one person um um complained  because they had uh the harry knoll show uh which  

is uh uh ben shapiro's uh ben shapiro's gang and  you know they complained because a guest didn't  

like transgenders it was it was that kind of thing  and so in this day and age that harry's razors  

just turned into just just flapping manginas and  and capitulated at the first hint of everything so  

wait wait wait wait where is it where is it when  it was let me back up a minute let me back up  

a second you are telling me that a nationally  nationwide company um backed off because of two  

people complaining i think it was one person  with two twitter followers yeah ben he's not  

been he's not joking and i gotta be honest with  you and i had a thought because remember in the  

old days it used to be like a like a massive  compliment if you were [ __ ] on by rickles  

like everybody like would go to the show hoping  like he would insult them i almost think like it's  

a badge of honor for these companies and it's also  a good way of advertising like i wouldn't doubt if  

harry's razor had was that twitter account  and they complained they didn't complain to  

themselves and they complained on themselves and  then all of a sudden that harry's razor is awoke  

company because business isn't what it was i mean  it's a very competitive business right now that is  

i never even thought of that so then why wouldn't  every small company uh start a campaign against  

itself to get attention to itself by being uh  woke down into the cellar that's a good question  

how do we know they're not well maybe maybe they  aren't but my own feeling is if the razor is sharp  

it shaves all the whiskers appropriately it's  fine i don't really care what they are but what  

what i find very very funny is the um is they  asked for these razor blade gummies to say  

the blade is made of super sharp german  steel a super sharp german engineering  

i'm thinking wait a second the germans are used  to be criticized for making instruments of death  

and now we're praising them for making sense  of death i don't get that what happened  

well you know when you shave it  the blood bursts out of your beard  

what a sharp knife though but ken tell people  what you're doing very very small amounts of blood  

look so so conservatives don't love to jump  around and go to protest as much as liberals  

they're not as unhappy with life as liberals or  at least as leftists not necessarily liberals  

um they the conservatives don't quite  hate themselves as much and they have  

a good enough self-esteem that they can  actually be like yeah i like this razor blade  

whereas as leftists seem to uh seem to  bring their politics into things like that  

um and because of that we're losing because  of because the fact that conservatives aren't  

fighting in the right arena we we we fight  today's fight as opposed to the upstream battles  

and i'm completely convinced of that there is no  reason why i mean why the media is ninety percent  

liberal in america okay let's just yeah about  about that i'd say no no i would say it's about 97  

you know it's like depends how you how  you how you look at that i realize i can  

can you're a smart guy you live in a houseboat  in a very exclusive neighborhood of houseboats  

you tell me why are the media generally  so left-wing what is the psychological uh  

pla which is a mechanism that makes them be  so left-wing i mean i i would used to be on  

the editorial page of the wall street journal  i had a regular column there an office there  

long ago in the days when  we used manual typewriters  

what is it that made us so conservative what  is it that makes media today so exactly liberal  

what is the psychiatric mechanism maybe there's  some way we can approach the problem that way  

you know there probably are some  long-term really i mean you know of course  

that to me the best answer is that is that  organizations perpetuate their own values yes  

yes absolutely and and if you go if you are a  young conservative who joins the new york times uh  

editorial staff a if they found out that you were  a young conservative you weren't going to get to  

the job i mean there's a self-selection process  going on um um b you are either going to convert  

or get squished out of that company at a certain  point so no no no nobody's going from uh hillsdale  

college to cnn and is going to get promoted  through the ranks on that so i i think i wonder  

if that's completely true i mean i i've been at  uh now at various different uh tv and internet  

to news organizations and have been promoted  little by little although it is true once i  

reach a certain level wham the glass ceiling that  closes down elderly jews it's me right in the head  

um um i think the whole concept of diversity  and by that they mean ethnic diversity  

generally makes an entity more liberal um  um i'll go with the jew thing um um i mean  

the jew thing hey brother you know so so i was  looking around at fox i remember sitting at one  

one dinner one time and geraldo was there and his  brother and i looked around i was like you know  

25 of of of people around my my table were jewish  and and jews are very heavily over represented in  

certain industries and the media is one of them  and they are also by and large lefties um um  

so you know i don't have a problem with the  jewish party i often have a problem with the  

lefty part but but i don't know why that is why  is why is that a why is that a a a viable and big  

media why is that a a thing that jewish kids  want to get into a lot more why is it why is it  

well but it's i'm not sure why it is but i  think it's very important we find out because  

as the media becomes more and more heavily jewish  as the media becomes more and more solidly left us  

the chance of it ever swinging back at least in  our lifetimes when you're you're much younger  

than i am in your lifetimes it gets to be  more and more remote now there was a time oh  

six 40 40 30 years ago when there was a  big efflorescence of jewish conservatives  

irving crystal a real genius a really wonderful  guy uh bill sapphire a really really wonderful guy  

my father herbert stein really really wonderful  guy uh blend garment nut case but a very very very  

wonderful guy these guys all exploded on the scene  where are they now where are they now why am i the  

only jewish conservative right now i'm not david  harwicks is right and he does a damn good job  

but why are they why what happened in the  jewish community to make it bubble up and  

then bubble down what happened you raised a  great great point ken about with the media but i  

i want to bring back to a time about so you know  when it when hollywood started these were they  

weren't jewish liberals in those states they  were actually jewish conservatives very good  

they started that started the studios and it  wasn't like it was a posh position to start these  

studios you know these were guys that came out  here you know and this was their shot sort of like  

bugsy siegel you know seeing being in the desert  and seeing gold when everybody else saw sand  

so so there was a paradigm shift that happened  and a lot of it could be attributed ben  

i could be wrong in this and speaking out of turn  with the communists you know a lot of it happened  

the influence that the communists have  had in this country pre-war during a war  

immediately after the war was enormous and that's  why i always get a chuckle when i see it about how  

mccarthy was totally out to lunch and how you  didn't know what he was talking about and there  

were no comments in the government are you  kidding me we wouldn't have had a korean  

war if it weren't for our communists in the state  department named alger hiss we would not have had  

52 or 55 000 americans dead because the korean war  everywhere for a communist in the state department  

named alger hiss the communists are all over the  place and it it amazingly it took somebody who now  

generally considered a dirty word like a word as  dirty as any word you could think of joe mccarthy  

to actually go in there and point out that there  were some real problems that needed to be solved  

and he got his life ruined and reacts  because he did because he stood up like that  

but nobody's standing up for it now i mean now  the media is full of glasses look at look at the  

people who persecuted the trump administration  during his first few years all communist agents  

not all might as well have been communist agents  working in the fbi in the cia to smear and destroy  

trump appointees and we let that happen the  american people didn't give a damn about it that's  

they could get away with anything why because  the rest of the media is covering up for them  

so ben are you are you saying that that jewish  americans in your lifetime or or a little before  

were politically conservative and or aligned  with the republican party more not not all by  

by no means was a time roughly coinciding  not exactly with the alexa richard m nixon  

p president when there was this neoliberal neo  neoconservative sorry neoconservative movement of  

people who were conservatives and were jewish and  they seemed to be taking over the block then they  

were stopped in their tracks why i'm not sure  but there there's still some of them around  

but not many and why were they stopping their  tracks and why did they why were there so few  

of them in the first place that's a good question  at least to me why why aren't enough i could never  

i could never understand it because because by  and large jewish people shared a good number of  

values with conservatives um more than i would say  liberals for the most part not all of them but but  

it was self-reliance it was education it was it  was i mean small you know owning a small business  

in america turns you into conservative because  every time some guy from the and that's why i'm  

conservative or was a big chunk of it my parents  were small business owners and every time the  

government came to help it was like jesus christ  it was it was no fun so i never except for the the  

the fear of persecution of minorities whatever  those minorities are jews are canaries in the  

coal mines in most countries right when when  crap goes bad and and and the fuhrer decides  

that we're going to blame all this on on somebody  for some reason jews are often at the front of the  

line on that so from for a group of people to say  hey we're worried about minority rights and and  

the tyranny the majority and and that's a little  bit that has been traditionally up i think until  

the last few years more of a democratic value  sometimes uh or at least a liberal value um but  

otherwise i never understood why why jews were you  know 80 80 20 dem to republican i never talking to  

the two jews let me give you the answer yours by  the way you're talking to two guys i just want to  

just say this you're talking to two people that  have had constant conversations about this very  

subject for the better part of 17 years so don't  feel weird for asking this anybody out there you  

know you know these are these are really important  questions to have and i want ben to get to the  

answer i just want to reintro the show if you just  tuned in you are listening to the world according  

to ben stein i want to thank everybody that came  back after we had that bit of a power outage  

thank you everybody that's back on youtube i  want to thank everybody who downloads the podcast  

remind everybody to go to bendstein.stubstack.com  for your newsletter and ken the court joined by  

tonight from media action network um an amazing  organization and of course america's humble  

servant ben stein and let's get back to it  ben because we've actually had disagreements  

uh ben and myself on this i have my own theories  ben has his own theory he's been on myself ben  

am i ben and i thank you mrs lovin um go for it  ben it makes me scared well i my what as it was  

always explained to me by my beloved mom and pop  was that jews came here they weren't allowed in  

the restricted clubs they weren't allowed in  the restricted schools and so they were angry  

at the establishment and so they joined up with  the rebels who turned out to be democrats who  

did welcome them in although they and they're  behind their back they called them [ __ ] but  

they were welcomed in by the democrats so they  became democrats and and so uh that so that so  

the large bulk of jewish immigrants became  democrats then little by little started to  

change the jews were little by little welcome  and little by little turned out to realize  

as as kansas said that jews have an awful lot in  common with conservative main street protestant  

small town christians so but  what chance that was so they said

we'll be conservatives we'll all be happy doing  and then along came an alien force which was a  

very highly trained and highly disciplined reds  from actually from red square in russia who said  

oh no no you can't be a real rebel as a jew and  be anything but a communist or something very  

close to economist so the influence i mean people  are always talking about oh in the influence of  

russia and american intellectual life that's where  the really big influence was and still is and it's  

coming right out of russia it may have stopped now  i often say to myself why is it that during world  

war ii was the time when the american intellectual  community was the most united has ever been beyond  

any single goal which was the defeat of adolf  hitler why because the russians wanted it that way  

in america in 1941 before pearl harbor the  incredibly communist unions at defense plans  

struck and vandalized company property rather  than let american defense companies build the p-51  

mustang uh because they were they had orders and  mosques got to do so now that could never happen  

but but but the idea is the same they can be  brought to heal by orders from moscow even now hmm

you know it's very confusing but the better  question is i think also to an extent is ben  

and this is something ben and i have discussed  there have been no better presidents to the  

to the to the jews to us jews for israel as  the two presidents which is donald trump and  

richard nixon there'd be no nixon there'd  be no israel without nixon and i mean there  

you know there'd be no massive you know a dream of  peace in the middle east if not for donald trump  

um you know and i have a theory on  this and ben and i have discussed this  

you know just it's a generational thing a lot  of jews you know the you know the youngers as  

the generations get younger and younger they don't  think they don't they don't identify with israel

it's not their identification anymore it's  almost like uh an albatross on their back  

that they constantly have to defend and it's  easier as you know in our society to be a sheep  

it's easier yeah it's much easier to say you're  right why do we need that why do we need that  

place and and and ben and i were raised in houses  that were very very very very pro-israel houses  

and sadly about 70 percent of the jewish community  isn't raised in that can and it breaks our hearts  

it does make our hearts and so it's very  hard to understand i myself my own self  

talked and i used to talk to richard nixon when  i first moved to gloria southern california in 76  

i was permitted the incredible privilege of  driving down to san clemente and having visits  

with lastic for an hour or two with mr nixon and  would ask him about these questions he gave me  

some very very interesting answers which i  will put in my book that's coming out soon  

uh but uh the sad truth is the jewish people have  been brainwashed steadily more and more and more  

to care less and less and less about israel we  have in our glorious beverly hills where i live  

and judah lives very nearby and is often in our  house which we're very very happy about uh the uh  

the people are tending very conservative  and very pro republican pro nixon  

but they're fewer fewer and fewer and fewer of us  and where the others are i don't know i imagine  

they're smoking dope somewhere over at ucla so we  hope that it helped answer some of your questions  

ken but it's something that bothers us uh uh quite  a bit i would imagine if you if you switch and you  

flip it now to the african-american community  i would imagine it bothers the ten percent  

of the of of the black community that looks at  what democrats have systematically done to them  

and then the 10 or the 15 percent that vote  republican are looking at the other 85 going  

i just don't get it i just don't get it these  people have caused more damage to us and yet  

we still vote for them and um and that's just  my humble opinion of um you know how that you  

know i often identify with the southern black you  know who tends to be more on the conservative side  

and um you know so yeah so we hope i don't know if  those answered your questions can but it baffles  

us what are you gonna say we're crazy oh should i  tell my story from the other night man yeah yeah

as you believe so as so as you know i just want to  talk about something though before i bring this up  

um is is this new thing that if you are for the  if you're if you're for ending the filibuster  

you are a racist that is the new tagline if you  um if you uh this is al sharpton's thing for joe  

manchin and kristen cinema if you vote to for this  um to end the filibuster you're you're a racist  

and um al sharpton the fact that he has a  seat at the table it's mind-boggling it's  

mind-boggling i mean people if if you're under  40 you probably don't know the story but he  

burst onto the national consciousness because he  perpetuated a race hoax in new york city uh just  

just look up tawanna brawley's i think she was  i think she was out in the suburbs somewhere  

no no it was the bronx i believe and it was not a  suburb is broncos in the suburbs i i don't think  

there aren't many there aren't many people that  are calling the bronx the suburbs but you're right  

it is a suburb i guess of new york but it's not  suburbia um there was a cop named steven pogonis  

and he literally tawanna brawley made up a story  that she was raped by by a bunch of white men and  

um stephen pagonis was one of the police  officers and his life was absolutely ruined  

to this day al sharpton has never apologized and  and and ken let's take it a little further he  

created riots and crown heights which got uncle  rosenbaum killed so sorry ken no i said it was  

a big deal and it was a huge big deal literally  it was obvious from day one that it was a hoax  

the fact that the media didn't label it as a  hoax from day one is it's humiliating and and  

he knew about it if not from day one uh from from  pretty much and the fact that anybody looks at him  

and and takes anything out of his mouth coming  coming to do with with with race is is ridiculous  

and don't get me going on the reverend part  either but the problem is the media does and  

that's what i was going to say before as you were  asking the question the media really created the  

narrative the media has been creating a narrative  in this country for god knows how long i mean for  

god knows how long so if you want to ask the  question about why jews tend to you know i was  

thinking about this as we were talking or blacks  is because the media has created a narrative right  

you know they created the narrative that richard  nixon was an anti-semite they created the the  

narrative that donald trump was an anti-semite  and there are people sadly that watch the news  

and take it on face value that listen to every  single thing that walter cronkite said and it  

was the word of god even though as he was dying he  admitted he had a liberal slant so the media has  

literally shaped our country's narrative of hate  for for for for decades upon decades upon decades  

so you know it's now you have like you said  how does al sharpton have a seat at the table  

how does he have a show on msnbc well look  at all the people my god look at don lamont  

as as uh that wonderful guy understand that fox  calls him look at look at all of you look at that  

[ __ ] but i won't say that many other  people on various other networks that  

what what are they so what's going on here who  does deserve a seat at the table at this point  

so this is why like for all the reasons of  why is why i believe that republicans need to  

start actively taking things to take over the  media and and that happens on a small level and  

it happens on a high level um um you know rupert  murdoch did it he put a billion dollars into fox  

news and he hired roger ailes and said build me a  channel that that speaks to conservative america  

and roger did it and it was wildly successful um  um we are seeing some companies starting to do  

that online where where the next where the media  is gonna know whether that's parlor whether it's  

gab whether it's it's telegram at least being  non or open open thing whether it's the trump  

the uh the you know whatever trump ends up doing  with his online thing and i think conservatives  

have an obligation to support those and to get  into that world um so it's like you know we can  

keep bitching about it but it's also time to be  like all right well rush did it roger ailes and  

rupert murdoch did it um um parlors yeah and  some of the online guys in in that world did  

it and i think that if you're a republican donor  stop giving money to lindsey graham's campaign  

he's fine but he's got more money than  he knows what to do with um um but  

he's gonna keep getting reelected right these guys  raised hundreds of millions of dollars for today's  

campaign and we need to be investing in the future  and this is what we discussed the other night when  

you said i'm going to give to the to the and ken  we were discussing this the other night when ben  

said i'm going to give tonight the rnc and i said  let's slow our roll a little bit and let's see  

who's running and needs to be and who's in safe  zones that and who's not that we could primary  

you know so if his enjoyment so if adam that  idiot and how it can't even pronounce never  

pronounced his name correctly in chicago um is  in a safe red spot let's primary the hell out of  

him let's let's let's put our money here about  stuff like that i care about the upstream fight  

it you know it's like you're arguing over what  fish we're catching i want to argue about how to  

learn how to fish and and i'm totally convinced  if in 10 years you and i are sitting around here  

and ben's in his wheelchair and we're like the  liberal media we're still getting a wheelchair  

we're still be getting our asses kicked in the day  you're completely right but so i like literally  

it's like everybody gets so much into these drama  fights because look they're like the reality tv  

of america right oh look at look at what uh the  guy in the senate and then the filibuster and  

that oh the hp all that's fine to argue over  but the upstream fights is where conservatives  

need to go and that means getting 400 more ben  steins into the entertainment industry so that  

so that when when somebody comes up and says  hey i got a great idea for a show how about if  

we show how like everybody in america hates gays  you know that somebody can have an alternative  

voices it means it means pastors and conservative  synagogues since the liberal ones already do it  

saying you know what get into teaching be hey  conservative young person be a professor and you  

might have to shut your mouth for the first few  years and you might not have the easiest route but  

get into that as a field and let's take that back  and most importantly from my personal view just  

because it's it's it's my myopic view is if you're  a conservative young person get into media now  

that might mean that might not mean joining cnn  it might mean starting you know get in there and  

have your sub stacks uh things uh uh get in there  and start some of these i mean guys have started  

alternative youtube channels that cover the trump  presidency it was two dudes and a video camera and  

a live stream and they've they've got audiences  of millions of people it's like the more we can  

while we're trashing the crap out of the media  who deserves to be trashed how do we fix it more  

that we can get into this game and get seats at  the table the more power we'll have and the more  

we'll be able to balance this off and there  was nothing more fun than being at fox news  

and saying oh yeah you know i know everybody else  on the tv dial was conservative but or was liberal  

but our the fact that we're not gave  us so much power and money that we had  

a voice that nobody else had you might  all be 97 but i tell you fox news had  

over 50 percent of the entire cable news audience  because there was a market of americans that said  

i don't want the lefty [ __ ] i want the  righty [ __ ] and that works pretty well  

so then we should go out and say we want to  write a [ __ ] i i i'm perfectly in favor of  

doing anything we could do to get it not easy to  do and i know lots and lots of very very smart  

conservatives who can't get arrested who can't get  on tv you can't get anything going and even i your  

fan your humble servant who used to be on fox all  the time have never on fox anymore i don't know  

why what happened to them why are they doing that  i have no idea they never even paid me so it's not  

as if they're saving money but having fired me  they never paid me a penny why why did they do  

that why did they do that the number of other  conservatives who also just have just vanished  

you actually chose not to take money wait i can't  hear you my friend i can't you have to turn up  

did i lose my audio again so ben explained ben  actually chose not to take money from fox a lot of  

those pundits on the show that is true you chose  not to take money so you could be on all the other  

networks and not be holding to one um which is an  extremely admirable thing but can we your point is  

it's almost like we have to infiltrate we we  have to find teachers that get into colombia  

we have to have find teachers that get it to  stanford into berkeley and and you're right it's  

a long-term project but you know it's it it's it  that could be a fun fight that could actually be  

a a real fun challenge 100 100 we need to do  that yeah so wherever you're ready to sign  

up throw yourself at the door of your local news  station tomorrow monday morning and ask for a job  

well what it mean what it means is young  conservatives finding mentors in the industry  

what it means is young conservatives knowing  that cancel culture is real and we need to  

fight against it need to shut the [ __ ] up on  social media and not maybe you can't say it on tv  

but you said [ __ ] so my wife has three  lovely cats she's a cat stuff instagram  

and and um i'm sorry i just got us demonetized  um um um it means we don't monetize by the way  

not anymore it means the number you  know as a con as a young conservative  

it means hey if you want to get  into that world maybe maybe uh uh  

um you know dust off your instagram feed and take  off your uh take off certain things to get in  

in there and infiltrate until you can until you  can grab some positions of power it also means the  

rich friends that that i know and that ben knows  and that i don't know if judah knows anything  

to encourage them to say hey let's invest in in  in right-of-center media it's a there's a great  

point i i can i i i love what you're talking about  sadly he recently passed away it was my only issue  

and i brought this up with you before in the past  my only issue with sheldon adelson was you know he  

was an analog guy in a digital world and i always  wish he would have pumped more and more money into  

in into online stuff and and he did so many great  things of donating money and helping people get  

elected um but um you know he's you know he's  gone and um but you're right that is the way in  

and ben has had a very long day ben are you with  us i'm thinking about myself it's been a very  

very long day i had my hair cut the blood exploded  in my kitchen i'm just trying to think to myself  

seriously if i were a young brilliant conservative  it's now thursday night how do i start and it's  

a simple thing it's really simple and this is  how i did it with all due respect and i became  

modestly well known for doing it just go to your  computer and start writing an essay and keep  

writing an essay so you've got 800 to 1500 good  words about something that's really bothering you  

mine tonight is going to be about face masks which  i find repulsive and repellent and totalitarian  

so let's write something about that and send it  in to everybody we can think of and that's how we  

start and write one of those every day yeah ben  actually can bombard the nazi apparatus of the  

media until they it's easier for them to say yes  and for them to say no kenny's actually raising a  

great point because basically what ben is saying  without realizing it is he's talking about seo  

right he's talking about organic event it's  it's it's a term of optimizing on the internet  

if you put enough if you put a if you put enough  articles and if you put enough stories in if you  

confuse you know jesus what don't confuse them  with seo i don't know what that means it's  

basically of course you don't you're not supposed  to you're not supposed to but then basically what  

you're saying is we have to do this organically  right we have to post as much as we can but  

we have to draw it out of our bowels and put it in  the computer and then spread it all over the world

i have a friend a young incredibly  

charming lovely friend uh she's not an  expert in politics she's not an expert in  

aware of so far except medicine and she has used  a tiny little platform on twitter to get sometimes  

hundreds of thousands of followers if she hits  the right subject we can keep all keep trying to  

do that it doesn't the price as we economist would  say the price of entry is almost inconceivably low  

let's try to burst through that door as the price  of entry as i said is almost inconceivably low  

why not try to get through it and besides what  else do you have to do tonight that's better

so pulling from my battles if i could just shift  just a little bit please do the concept that  

racism is now becoming completely acceptable in  america like real racism so libby schaff the the  

mayor of oakland came out and said we've got a new  uh a basic universal income experiment plan that  

we're doing with people in oakland and it's for  poor people who are black asian hispanic illegals  

any color except white people oh my god now it's  now but it's coming from private you know it's  

it's a private partnership so it's private money  they're doing the same similar thing over in in  

in in san francisco but the concept that you could  get a city mayor to stand up and said we're going  

to give cash to to numbers of poor people in  our neighborhood because poor people are bad  

except for the white people is driving me freaking  insane and do i want to be the guy that has to  

start up the white poor person's fund it's like  i kind of don't want to be but we are seeing more  

and more politicians and corporations and and  and so much more of this just overtly saying  

black equals good or any color any hint of  bipac which was a word i learned this year  

and and whites are not and and there was a hundred  articles written on this and not one was like  

hey this is kind of creepy just pure racism when  we're saying every person with a tinge of color  

in oakland has a poor person poor families can  get money including illegal aliens who whatever  

they're criminals by definition by definition  they committed a criminal act absolutely  

who do i know i i commit criminal acts on saturday  so cancer my question to you is now that they all  

said in your and you're about solution how the  hell do we combat this and absolute insanity i  

mean i i ben i'll share the story now um to the  people out there listening my my my you know  

about my dating experimentations and the other  night i was talking to this girl this is a true  

story again and um was she a girl or a woman she  was sorry she was i didn't find out long enough  

that would have offended her um so we're talking  and she says she's i asked her where she's from  

she said she's not from america because she didn't  get a music or a movie reference and i said oh  

okay and i said where are you from she said bombay  so i'm like google searching you know and i'm like  

well they don't even call it bombay anymore but  it's now mumbai and i said to her i swear to god  

this is exactly what i said i said you must you  must have been here for a long time your english  

is exceptional and she said that is racist oh my  god why wait wait wait wait wait you told me that  

story before while i was lying on my bed gasping  for air tell me why it's racist i don't know she  

didn't explain she said she excuse me you tell  me you tell me why is that racist well i don't  

know it's like why when i tell a girl she has a  hot ass is that sexist no no no it's not that ken

you know why is it racist it's because she's a [  __ ] whiner and she's looking to be a victim and  

she has low self-esteem and and her her ability  to fight back is because she can accuse people of  

being worse than her that's why it's okay that's a  good answer i like that that's a very good answer  

or sexist or whatever it was that is a very good  answer yeah and i'm like i'm like i'm like you're  

from india why am i supposed to assume that all  that all of india had this great education where  

we were everybody there spoke english it's not  like ben who has got a lot of filipinos that  

work for him i you know it used to be you know  it used to be one of it used to be ours right i  

mean i could understand we have a base there so  you can understand you are a very very bad man  

judah friedman i was like i was like i'm sure  she reported me to the to the to the to the uh  

the dating app poet bureau and and i'm sitting  there going i'm gonna remember like thank god  

this happened before i actually might have  gone out with her because you know but it's  

just it's an insane thing and it's it's that  tag right you call somebody eraser it's the it's  

it's it's so cheap it's so easy way to feel better  it's a way to express power over people right has  

nothing to do with race anymore it's all about  we love you anyway judah we think you're great  

thank you then i appreciate that thank you  and i know you would date me if you were only  

40 years younger um but ken i mean and that's  what we're dealing with so how do we fight  

back and this goes back to what we constantly  talk about with with you see and the reason i  

brought this up before wyatt is important ken with  politics because we need more of our politicians  

getting out there and standing up for this  but we need people like ted cruz and rand paul  

who are saying about the masks this is insanity  this is theater i've had vaccines you know and we  

need more republicans coming out and saying  this race [ __ ] you guys are talking about  

is insane it's racist i don't care if  you call me a racist after i said this  

but you guys are absolutely out of your minds you  know and and and that is a very important thing  

that we really have to with our candidates really  bet them ken i think you should have apologized  

i might have dated her i think you should  have banged her and when you were just  

right after the point of ejaculation you  should have said you know what your english  

isn't that good after all let's see what happens  i think that you're going a little too far here  

okay it would have been a fun friday night  you're under arrest you're in a restaurant no  

you know ben thought that he just didn't say it  out loud but um thought i think ken should be  

arrested for this um but no i mean it can and  so that you know we're talking about solutions  

i have handcuffs here both of you have  offered very good solutions tonight ben's  

exactly right right you get as many things  out there on the net as you can possibly get  

you bang on as many doors like you can as  you're doing with the harry's razor thing  

and get all your people to to you know to say even  if it is a publicity stunt by harry's razor like  

are you guys out of your damn minds like have we  you know and they are we've lost our we we've lost  

balance and we lost our way we lost our way and  i got to tell you something guys well you know  

we've this past year hasn't helped i i mean i i  was thinking about this on the drive down to your  

house today ben we don't even know the mental  health consequences of what's gone on in the  

last year about how this is gonna stop not just  you know children but adults at the same time  

it's scary as hell and nobody gives a damn about  it and the whole country is well they take away  

cigarettes which are one of the main ways that  people used to call themselves and feel better  

that's fine cigarettes are bad for you now  they've locked us up they've taken away face masks  

they put on bro they've required face masks face  masks are a way that we see what's going on around  

us i i am privileged to say i've been alive for 76  years and i've learned more from watching people's  

faces than i have from any other single source  on this earth and i really really like to look  

at a person's face i think it's criminal that  we're not allowed to see a person's face anymore  

and and and ken i agree with you ben 100 but ken  

this harry's read the razor thing how do  people that are listening how do they get  

in on your network how do they hold this for  anybody who wants to play in this game go to

www.mediaactionnetwork3words.com you'll sign up  for our daily newsletter where we look every day  

i give you one way to poke the liberal media back  or something along those lines or in this instance  

poke the liberal razor jerky little reasonable  people back um um and we just need to start using  

some of the we look we need to start using some of  the tactics of the left and getting back into this  

and creating problems for them and we need to  look corporations in the in the final analysis  

are all about hey whatever's the thing  that's going to make them the most money  

and create them the fewest problems you know when  we create problems for when they when they do woke  

stuff like that uh that helps us we need  to start bringing in some of those tactics  

the left has been at war with us on a cultural way  for years and we've been intellectualizing it's  

like well you know that's as they're beating the  brains out of us i mean we're like the guy at the  

bar who's still saying i don't think you should  be hitting me in the face and and conservatives  

need to need to fight back harder right i i i love  it i love it i love it okay can i do my song now  

yes but before that i just wanted to re i just  wanted to read a quick thing um uh first of all  

i want to wish my father happy birthday and i want  to wish everybody a happy i want to wish everybody  

that's celebrating happy passover i can't believe  it's another year i was thinking about this and  

people are gonna they still can't be fully with  their families but um there was a song in the 80s  

by a band called tears for fears and ben you've  been very big on this with the face you know with  

the faces that this mask has taken away her face  and they had a song called mad world and this is  

it's really profound because it says all around me  are familiar faces worn out places worn out faces  

bright and early for the daily races going nowhere  going nowhere their tears are filling up their  

glasses no expression no expression hide my head  i want to drown my sorrow no tomorrow no tomorrow  

and you know i don't want to read the whole song  but it's um it's um you know there's a line where  

it says children waiting for the day they feel  good happy birthday happy birthday we have kids  

that still learn in school where you know we got  it we you know ben i look you got to keep pouncing  

on this mass stuff because it's so damn important  and i think it's time bennett you could also take  

a stand and some people say and just take that  mask off it's worth it i do take that mask off  

when i'm at my coaster store to be in malibu  and some little bolsomist comes up to me and  

tells me to put it back on so and then they say  they're going to call the malibu sheriffs and  

l.a county sheriff's station  have me arrested i didn't want  

a confrontation about that i want to  just go home and make my wife her steak  

and watch tv go to sleep um i will gladly  bail you out uh i don't think you can bail  

me out my friend i think there's i think  i think in today's america you cannot be  

bailed out for crimes against humanity which  this clearly is uh we will have larry claiming  

i will be there with larry claim and i'll end up  before you sing us out it's mediaactionnetwork.com  

right ken can i have 30 seconds yes yes go ahead i  think we should start theming some of these shows

anyhow

three things happen i got into three things this  week one is i saw a netflix documentary called  

wild wild country and it was about the  rajneesh the the the kind of quasi cult cult  

that that that came into central oregon in the uh  in the in the early 80s and it was and it was a  

couple years old on uh on netflix but it was one  of the most interesting documentaries i've seen  

in years it was a six parter six hours it was  it's it's horrifying it's horrifying but but you  

know what they did then they they got a lot of the  raj nish including like one of their main lawyers  

in and and the gal who was the the really evil  one to talk a lot about it so it was a little kind  

of how do i say pro raj nishi just a little bit  but it it raised so many intellectual issues of  

religion versus cult of of land rights use of  americans versus versus immigrants that i found  

it was one of the most entertaining six  hours of tv i've had in years and years  

that's number one point number two i watched a  thing on the unabomber and i've started reading  

again the unibody or manifesto he's got some  points i'll get back to that on the next one
