No Joy in Leftville! Parler was the reason I wanted to start my for-fun and free podcast. While we do stream on YouTube—which we do mainly for the interaction and the live comments—we have had episodes banned and our audience numbers suppressed. I will not capitulate to BIG TECH! We also post an audio-only version of the show, and I’ve been humbled by the response. I have read and heard your suggestions about Rumble, and we are starting to integrate our content and use their new live feature.

power to the people right over the people and right off the bat i want to get to something
we're so into words as a society and if you were following the news at all today there's
nothing more confusing when i hear the word guidelines i think of bureaucracy and the the cbc
has thrown out so many different guidelines not only thrown out like they've thrown them in the
garbage like we wish we had been they have come up with so many different guidelines for covid with
me i think they've changed it twice today and who gives guidelines to these people with guidelines
and and that's my question you sir it's it's the most it's the craziest thing i've ever seen
with the cdc there's a saying in latin we all used to take latin in high school quiz custodia
custodias which means who guards the guards i think that applies very much to the bureaucracy
right now who is restraining the cdc if anyone who is this the voice of reason there uh maybe
there isn't any maybe there's denny who's running the government altogether it's not clear at all
regulated government at all or that's moving in any particular direction except to please
alexandria ocasio-cortez and her friends and damn the cause damn whether or not it's necessary damn
the constitution we are being run now by a group of people who i'm sure are fine people in many
ways but uh have no idea of the constitution or what it means or how it should be how it should
be interpreted and how it should work that should be the guidelines and by the way i'm in greenville
south carolina which is really a great place it's not sandwich idaho but it's greenville greenville
southern it's a great great great place yesterday or day before we're fabulously beautiful days here
we went around without masks we were walking up and down main street without mess only a few
people out on this it was great it was like having been led out of prison it was great
i really strongly recommend it i recommend to you that you use every opportunity to not wear a mask
i rob what are your thoughts on this thinking about this today what if no one's actually in
charge i it's like it just kind of dawned on me it was actually after i got off the air today
and it was it was it really hit home it's like what if no one's actually in charge
and everyone in the government is just doing their own thing yeah they're a funky thing
yeah exactly and we have we have some uh environmentalists environmentalists dictators and
controllers and that's what environmentalism about environmentalism has always been about uh and they
are controlling things we have some uh why people are wild and subject to racism even though racism
has pretty much completely disappeared as a real thing except it exists as a slogan but as a real
thing it's pretty much disappeared and those are running government those people who have their
agendas mr biden issues no guidance mr biden as uh has been said before he's a hologram he doesn't
really exist does karma harris exist i don't know she cannot bring herself to go to the southern
border where the crisis is she can't bring herself do you know that at least it's been reported i
don't think she's denied it that she's giving out hundreds maybe thousands of copies of her book
to these poor immigrant children her book they probably can't even read english of her book
what what does she have said it's all useful now but you raise a great point robin he does raise
a great point because it's something i i can't help that people are thinking about right now
is who's running what because i know people are going to say they're doing it for aoc
or they're doing it for this but it almost seems like there is nobody in any faction
running anything it's like every day something new well everything makes no sense saying what
what's what's our foreign policy now do we even have a foreign policy
can i tell you why this dawned on me today when i was driving home yes of course it's
it's something that happened here in indiana uh it is illegal to fundraise for any statewide
officeholder or state rapper state senator during the legislative session in the state of indiana
and that's designed so theoretically legislators and statewide lawmakers can't be bribed while
they're crafting legislation it makes sense right you don't want you don't want people a lobbyist
handing out cash to people while they're crafting laws it comes out our legislative session ends at
the earliest it's open to interpretation but the earliest anyone could interpret it ending is april
the 29th on the 26th of april the secretary of state named holly sullivan sent out a fundraising
blast on social media she she's the chief election officer in the state of michigan it's great great
that's great and and we were talking about it today on the air and i said look there's only
two interpretations of this either she didn't know what the election law was which is scary as hell
or she doesn't care because no one's in charge and no one's going to do anything to her either way
i'm petrified and then i start thinking this is going on all over the country
ben he raises the greatest point and i'll go to you on this ben there are no gatekeepers
they are they are able to get away with saying and doing anything as they please the washington post
today which we is a piece of direct anyways took away the fact checking for joe biden
it's incredible it's incredible absolutely incredible absolutely incredible absolutely
incredible but we don't live in america as we knew it then today your humble servant me
was with a park here in greenville with my incredibly unbelievably cute granddaughter coco
the world's cutest human being a goddess uh nine years old but a goddess nonetheless and uh there's
a park was like a miracle it was a beautiful beautiful park and there's many many black
people and many many white people black and white children who never had known each other before
playing on gems and complicated things i've never seen before uh happily together when i was a child
the schools and the parks were segregated black people couldn't go to the same parks
as white people now they're all happily playing together does anyone ever even
mention that is there any appreciation of that at all whatsoever none have none mr biden asked
as if we're in nazi germany and the blacks are the jews it's incredible he he really
doesn't know what's going on kamala she's the biggest phony in the world the biggest i think
you're right but i think i want to raise this point because i raised it on parlor and you know
people are answering it correctly but um i raised the question who could name that the head of the
the you know who's the head of the congress or the republicans and the reason i asked that question
was it took me before when i was thinking about it rob and ben i was thinking is it kevin brady
is it kevin and i and finally i got kevin mccarthy thank you everyone kevin it's kevin what could be
kevin bacon because for all intense purposes kevin mccarthy is not doing anything right now
to lead the republican party sir sir we all are locked in a box by the bolshevist media czars
buddy but i agree he could be doing work that's not that's a non-responsive answer
okay i'm going to challenge you that is an extremely non-responsive answer what could
he do he could go on to you know what could he do there could be a rebellion what could he do
there could be a rebellion in the republican party and get rid of this
guy that is not doing anything do any of you see anything that he had that that any agenda or is it
wait wait wait wait that tells us something i your humble servant who am a writer as well as being a
doctor should write a book called the conservative agenda for 20 the 2020s or something like that
anyway it's it's sure you're right there should be there should be a list of priorities for the
republican party one respect for the constitution two no invasion of free speech when i think of the
things that we republicans should be doing what i think of is the bill of rights the bill
of rights that's what we want america for america to follow the bill of rights not that complicated
rob kendall what are your thoughts on this well but think about this we had a leader of the
republican party we had a leader who brought people who hadn't voted for republicans in a
generation if ever to the republican party and an organized group of republicans ensured that
guy was thrown out of office republicans you're right you're you're right right the rhinos are
a dangerous group i agree you're right i think there's i think there's many republicans who
would rather be in the minority and not have trump than have any sort of power and have to deal with
trump i think they're okay i don't think there's that difference between a lot of these republicans
and democrats not all of them but a lot of them well it depends on the democrats i mean i don't
know how many republicans would say they have no differences with afc but by the way is it
interesting how aoc came from being a manicurist or wages or whatever she was a bartender
a bar gender to being the basically the ideological head of the largest political
part larger political party in the us shows what a vacuum there was for ideas what so what are our
ideas well i think if i may say so that madison and the other people who wrote the constitution
came up with the great ideas we have to make sure when they are followed and respected it's no joke
the constitution is not a joke we cannot toss it aside without the gravest consequences for this
country what is it what is america without the contradiction see but here's the problem there
are no consequences for treacherous republicans there there there just are zero consequences
in the republican party for for our for the traders within so i give you an example and um
i want to talk about this more which is the liz cheney effect i mean let's let's speak
let's be honest it's dick cheney's uh daughter oh who who voted to impeach
trump who is outright calling for rob what is she you know doesn't want trump to run in 2020
or whatever idiotic things she's saying when her father whatever you i know been you
you were clear close or friendly with him did horrifically disastrous things for this country
caused great harm to our country and trump is the one that pardoned his guy and you know
i was ashamed as a shonda and my point being is why is liz cheney even allowed to have a
voice at this point rob but i don't know if she does have a voice outside we talk about
this actually on the air today i think the problem is these people get so wrapped up
in the washington media praising them that they assume oh everybody feels this way
i mean and so if you're a liz cheney and your whole life has been washington i mean she was
intimately involved with her father's campaign and the bush administration
your whole life is washington you you think that's the way the people are and so she genuinely is
stupid enough to believe she could run for president which they're talking about doing
yeah okay well there you are okay it it it's it's a frightening thing it's um we're not you
know here's the thing you can't make this stuff up but at least with the democrats
they coalesce around each other and look at what they're doing at joe manchin and kristen
cinema who who who i would never
we would never have enough guts to do that to members of her own party trump
had enough cuts to do that to members of her own party but our party i mean the fact that paul ryan
it's it's yeah it's um i don't i don't know where to go from there because it's uh we're
in trouble and on that note if you just tuned in you are listening to the world according to that
man benjamin jeremy stein i want to thank everybody in the youtube channel i want to
thank everybody that follows us on parlor at benstein i want to thank everybody for
getting ben's newsletter benstein.substance.com i put the um rumble link in the youtube chat
um be grateful to see how that goes they do have live chat so that can be uh a a form of uh if we
ever get banned from a certain site but i want to welcome everybody back to the world according to
ben stein we're joined tonight by rob kendall the best conservative talk show host in america with
his safe ferris shirt and of course ben the humble servant stein um i want to get to be
he br you brought up something interesting which is foreign policy so today we have john kerry
who who gave secrets he he did he did whatever jonathan pollard did times 10 or 100 to the
iranians at least jonathan pollard gave intel to an ally he gave intel of where
yeah he says he didn't like he hasn't had plastic surgery um yeah john kerry said he didn't but
here's the thing i love how he said he didn't and it's being reported can you
imagine if this was the trump administration he would have been hung by the nuts at this point
they would have had hearings and they would be yelling and screaming but
well but we we as a party are weak i mean we're weak in many many different ways we have to get
our strengths back and you know some mr nix and my boss long ago god a long time ago said i can
say and i've said this on our show many times the republic the average member of the republican uh
every republican member of the house isn't fit to be a dog catcher
and i i we're we're seeing evidence for that why is that why aren't we getting
stronger people to run in the republican party why where are the tough guys okay so i'm gonna
write i brought up an interesting question today uh or something i thought was very interesting so
let's use ourselves as an example of california we're recalling gavin newsom here the recall is
about to go through and so rob it's like you have all these names the same people it's like
you know other than caitlyn jenner and i thought of a good name i thought of somebody like tim al
right are you paying attention depending on questions i thought of tim allen and um
very famous obviously comedian conservative um and i can't think of anybody bad name recognition wise
that could actually beat we have conservatives that live all across america and have homes in
california is there not one viable candidate in the state of california to run against avenues
i notice you're not including uh adult film star mary kerry in your list
yes i've never heard of her who is that she does
and you said you didn't want to do it and i think at a certain point whether it's peter thiel
whether it's certain people they do have a civic responsibility and duty to to
to to do what trump did and to get their asses in gear and run and that goes across the country
why are people why is it is it the lack of civics that we've had in school where are people's civic
responsibility and duties and i think a lot of that has to do with it people don't well it's
a very difficult job being a congressman or a senator very very difficult being a governor of
california is a thankless job there's just no why we didn't want to do it i mean when they called me
and asked me if i wanted to do it i said the worst i would love campaigning the worst thing would be
if by some incredible fluke i won which i'm sure i wouldn't uh what did i do all day i go to meetings
get up early and i'm just governor what do you mean it doesn't appear that gavin newsom does
that much but to the people in the chat room that are saying names okay i like kevin sorbo but he's
he's nobody knows who kevin sorbo is right and as much as ben and myself and rob all love james
evan and i lose thank you mrs levin there's not a shot right now
um i'm trying to think of candidates that have a crossover appeal yes rob i see you wanted well i
just i was gonna say one of the reasons i got out of elected office i'm one of the few people who
left by choice instead of by force and went back to radio was i felt i could do more good
talking to a huge swath of people tens of thousands of people every single day versus
being one person who can't get anything done and just pissed off all the time so i think a
lot of people especially in the media field who would be great at this are trying to figure out
where they can do the most amount of good now you mentioned a guy like tim allen he's not doing that
but there's a lot of people out there who are trying to find that space in which they can do
the most amount of good and look it's going to take more than one person winning an election
to inspire people because it's more than just winning an election it's involvement and
engagement on a bevy of issues well sir if i may say this respectfully of course we are fighting an
incredible uphill battle we're like because we are we have basically a totalitarian bolshevist media
that is trying to hammer down any conservative point of view at any about anything at all or
a libertarian point of view they wanted to hammer hammer hammer down their own agenda
can you i mean it was amazing i was sitting at dinner with my my incredibly unbelievably cute
granddaughter and of several other people she's only nice she's really cute and uh
then we were talking about president biden and as i said the words president we don't use that
so strange i mean it's not like a term from a science fiction story president
pipe that would happen so in a world like this who wants to be in politics
okay but again you're that's i love you and you would say to me that's a non-responsive answer
it's too hard i it's too hard a question one by one people have to work their way up i'm going
to recommend an incredibly good book called the greatest comeback by an incredible guy named pat
buchanan really really really smart guy and about nixon's come back after his defeat by
john f kennedy in 1960 and how he worked his way up to the top of the party and won the election
and uh what uh what who's there on the scene who's comfortable well you know after nixon
ran in 60 laws supposedly around 62 for governor of california it was just absolutely buried by
a mocking hospital media and then everybody thought he was dead and they would report on
the uh on the on the obituary of richard nixon and then he won when he went 40 to 48 49
states since in 72. he came back for the avengers there has to be somebody there with that kind of
balls and that kind of perseverance helped along by people like pat buchanan
maybe you know how old is pat he's pretty old he's he's a little too old and he's like
he's he's got to be in his 80s at least um but no listen you know and you might people might
disagree with me but i think tim allen is a very viable name i think he's he's or kelsey grammer
is another example i don't love kelsey graham it was on a very successful many successful shows
he's very charismatic is a conservative has enough money that he never has to work again
go for it i love it there's no anything to get rid of you know the the american psycho that we have
in there and rob it's i i'm sorry that you had a rough time in politics but it's really extremely
important that we get people like you that that you know that i know you're doing your show
but get back in there because you'd have a chance rob somebody like you yeah but it wasn't that i
had a rough time i loved it i loved every second of it the problem was though as a conservative
and a guy who cut taxes and used money for things that actually benefited the public good
you're always in a fight and i realized at 30 years old i was gonna die of a stroke by 35 if
i didn't get out of it because i was angry and i was pissed off and i was mad at people who were
trying to pull bull crap all the time look i'm off at noon each day now like for the first time
in my life i love my job i go home i get to hang out with you guys and if i can do good doing that
why would somebody like a kelsey grammer or tim allen who has a great life that's a tough sell to
subject them i couldn't be more couldn't agree more couldn't agree and by the way i feel like
people in the chat room are like trolling me with the names they're saying like and i like the names
i like dean kane but he was cute it was superman right he was cute as superman but nobody knows who
he doesn't have that power we're talking about a-listers as far as acting goes we're
not talking about a guy that wore a cape 20 years 25 years ago no offense to dean kane he's a nice
guy he's a good patriot and a good conservative we need people that could actually win and that
is a that is something that we're dealing with but you asked rob and both of you
said why does somebody need the aggravation because it's their civic responsibility rob
it's their civic duty to help try and help save the country like president trump did
i'm not i'm not i'm not saying you're wrong and i can say it as somebody who did it and got out
of it that i was glad i did it it was it was for the best years of my life again i'm just saying
this is a very difficult ask when your goal is not to try to buy people support with other
people's money which should be a attempt you know a pillar of the republican party
it's not anymore the other problem i think a lot of people have now judah is they have no idea what
the republican party actually stands for and what it means to be a republican right we have to that
is a task of people like us who are who still have enough vibrancy even if we're old and pathetic
in our brains to talk about what the goals of the republican party should be number one free damn
speech free speech free speech please when i was at the park today uh i uh i said uh to my uh my
close relative uh i said isn't this great my boy look at this i said this is great that when i was
a child in my native maryland uh this would not have been allowed an integrated park there wasn't
a while uh and he said something like shut up dad that you're talking too loud or something
like that but i said i i said even in a lowered voice you shouldn't say that and what he meant
i think god look god bless that boy whom i love so much is don't even have those thoughts don't
even have the thought in your head that it could have been any other way than it is now
and that means don't ever have a thought in your head of how much it's improved and that's what's
scary that was very scary coming coming from my own heart's blood that is very scary and by
the way it's the people in the chat the reason we bring up celebrity names we do live in california
we have had an actor that became president we do have an actor that became governor this is
that type of state where especially at this point where name recognition means an awful awful lot
it's um you know you're going up against gavin newsom whose approval ratings have gone up again
so so so you need somebody in a recall who's got flair back you need somebody that's got that
that star power and yes we associate star power sometimes with hollywood although nobody watched
the oscars thank god i haven't been watching you know under 10 under 10 million people watch the
oscars wow i can remember everyone on the street watch i mean you couldn't get anyone out of his
house yeah but you know last year's was its lowest rated at 23 million wow and this year it was under
10 million and um the funniest thing though was that anthony hopkins people are so upset with them
for winning the award for best actor or what was he supposed to do say you know what i'm white
i give up the award to chadwick boseman god rest his soul may have a you know just just give it
up i mean and i'm happy that anthony hopkins i gotta give it up for anthony hopkins for
not doing that because i think a lot of actors of a younger generation would have apologized
and said take the oscar it's yours absolutely you're absolutely right it's a startlingly true
analysis of the present situation in which everybody now is totally uh which i say uh
masked up mentally by uh fake systemic racism fake fake fake and yet uh it is believed especially as
believed within hollywood it is really really believed and on that note if you just tuned in
you are listening to the world according to that man benjamin jeremy stein and the reason i keep
on saying it's a non-responsive answer to people just so everybody knows is that is something ben
has been saying to me for 18 years when he asks me a question and i don't give a satisfactory answer
when you don't give an answer well i sort of give an answer this is my answer but um sorry
that's like saying that that's like what uh the democrats say when you say something to them
about uh racism and then they can't say they say well it's my truth okay
but i want to thank everybody at the youtube chat i am reading your chats i am not running for
president thank you and i thank you for all your suggestions for people that are running for the
governor and i wasn't mocking those people by any metrics i love john boyd i love james i
love it i love the guy we love john boyd but he doesn't have he's not a viable candidate and um
i don't want to thank the people that are listening to youtube chat remember to check out
the rumble subscribe i want to see if it has any if it's working if it's flowing i want to thank
everybody that's been downloading our podcast i want to remind everybody to get ben's newsletter
at um benstein.stubssubstack.com and of course keep on downloading those podcasts giving us our
five star reviews he's extremely helpful we're joined tonight by rob candel as always who's do
i say it correctly is it kendall or kendall yeah rob kendall yeah close enough whatever you got
okay and uh i've been saying it wrong i like but i like kendall that would work perfectly
in hollywood i've been called worse man don't and of course benjamin jeremy stein and you touched on
something sir that's that's very frightening um which is the uh leftist part which is the left
there's no left there's no more democrat party it's the left party they are beholden to extremism
they are to to to their behold into these extremes um do you think do you think there is a
they're the loudest heart they're the loudest minority do you think how do you how do you
in your in your years of experience how do you overcome that how do you overcome
of the loud majority the loud minority it will become louder you're going to become louder now mr
george wallace uh former governor of alabama i had a very politically incorrect uh comment on that
kind of thing but will be even louder it's like what uh what's the guy who plays uh the agent the
hollywood agent in the top thunder says he says to his clients if you cry if he cries and you cry
harder we we have to come up with some principles that we really can fight for and believe in that
there are ordinary american beliefs in as well but you would have thought then ben you
you keep bringing it up and you would have thought that trump did have a lot of principles trump was
a very sorry i think he did i mean and if the republican base would go off trump's principles
we would which would be fighting back against the meteorob which would be obviously the
immigration crisis and would be hammering down on this crazy mass polls mass laws are sadistic
but but again i think it comes back to you i don't think the establishment wing of the republican
party which is the donor and lobbyist class they don't want conservatives they're they would rather
be in the minority than have the trump people like they hate the trump people think about that
75 million people voted for donald trump and they try to ostracize any person who voted for trump
like it's some like you're a green party candidate or something 75 million more than any other except
maybe biden any other candidate in history and they act like the guy's some you know fringe
candidate that ran for a county assessor in northern idaho no offense to northern idaho
brilliant point somehow they have shamed us they have shamed us by their lies about trump
and making trump sound like a dirty word they may have shamed us into thinking there is something
wicked about trump and all he did was good things i as a jew think particularly here's
a man who followed the biblical objection to make jerusalem the capital of the children of israel's
country israel he's the one who made peace between israel and a whole bunch of
muslim states he is a like like nixon a peacemaker blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be
called the children of god nobody remembers that that's a good thing for us conservatives say
blessed are the peacemakers we know that biden is waiting to do to do some kind of incredible act
of craving cowardice to iran it's going to make them try to bully us and start a war and we don't
want war with iran at all period so what when when he's when he gets us into a war we're going to say
where were we where are we to stop and get into a war now you know what they're gonna say what you
know what they're gonna it was trump's fault yeah well they say everything's true yeah it
would it it was trump's fault but rob he does have those principles he set forth principles and it
always baffles me why republicans and i get what you're saying some of them like the status quo
but you do have some that whether it's you know you do have a few in the senate and a handful in
the house that have followed trump's leader trying to and so that is hopeful the hope though is that
as the midterms are coming up we could start finding viable candidates in in and and listen
it's it's it's it's only cheating if it's if you get caught or if it's against the law so we know
the democrats we know mitt romney that jackass is what he's he's run for governor he's senator
of utah he's run for governor of massachusetts and if he loses there he'll just buy a house somewhere
else so it's really time for us to start following that path and i don't care who it is rent the
yurts in parts of georgia yes but but here's the thing judah is the there is so much money from
the establishment side of the republican party that they have such an advantage in the primaries
that it's almost in many cases not every time but in many cases it's almost impossible
for conservatives to get a foothold because there's so much money bombarded
against conservatives in the primary whether it's through pax run by mitch mcconnell the
chamber of commerce you know the regular players they're invested in not letting conservatives
especially on these you know senate the senate side especially get out of these primaries
and and i don't know what the answer is that's a scary thought but don't
i i guess i'm sort of in a minority here in this little chat because i i think the first first step
is to have a set of principles now let's see who rallies around that flag yeah the
problem then is as rob's pointing out you're talking about people that don't have principles
we will give them a set of principles that you as you as as well you know that as well as i
know you can't hand somebody principles you're either you're born with them or you you you well
respectfully i disagree with abraham lincoln i'll start with life america would not have been
considered ending slavery by the end of his life slavery had been abolished at least in the states
that had been a part of the confederacy so uh big changes can happen giant change can
a real world example of this about what people are up against is that all right yeah of course so uh
several years ago i worked for the indiana state auditor and part of what would do is we would go
to these different events and this was i don't know a year after a guy named richard murdoch
had ran for the united states senate in indiana he won the republican primary he was a he was
a great conservative he was a constitutionalist historian and right before the election he made
an egregious mistake in a debate said something about abortion that torpedoed his campaign
and the republican party in the state of indiana you got all these lincoln day dinners and all
these various republican functions and the party leadership this was eight years ago now
would openly in these with hundreds of people there say we're never allowing another richard
murdoch to happen in this party again we don't like conservatives and we will do everything
possible to defeat these people and ever since then in the state of indiana actual conservatives
have not been very effective at winning u.s senate races they've not been effective at winning
statewide offices republicans win those seats but there's uber liberal left republicans who cater to
that donor lobbyist chamber of commerce crowd and it's happening in states all across the country i
think about the u.s senate primary here in 2016. marlon stutzman who was a super conservative
really respected guy ran against todd young in the primary mitch mcconnell put millions and millions
of dollars behind todd young because that was his guy marlon stutzman couldn't match that especially
not in the statewide race so conservatives have to start stepping up with their pocketbooks if
they're going to compete with these people because the establishment wing of the republican party
hates conservatives and will continue to do whatever they can to ensure they don't win
these primaries we need to like start a movement with the real conservatives please stand there
was that song will the real you know please stand up really stated yeah the real slim shady
yeah the real slim slayer well the real conservatives please stand up please stand up
or you know but we know the real conservatives that aren't standing up because there's
they're a little too timid but um ben these are i mean it really is frightening and you witnessed
it firsthand with nixon and it's it's we learned nothing from history and it's it's an absolutely
frightening thought to me that we haven't learned anything well it's scary to me if you'd like
to look at history look at the history of how southern soviet union russia became a bolshevik
country it was it was not a czarist dictatorship as people would think it was a democracy when the
bolsheviks overthrew the democracy and made it into a rigid violent cruel dictatorship i don't
think that people like afc have any goal other than to make america into a dictatorship that will
start doing uh her bidding about all kinds of wacky ideas i don't think they really want to
preserve freedom preserve the constitution people enter the military service and any any services
for the government they could vow to protect which or and preserve the constitution i don't think afc
has an idea what the contribution is now you're completely right and by the way i just want to uh
you did you were amazing on newsmax last night and um and i want to ask everybody this because i i
wanted to bring this up the other night it used to be we had places that we could go to get our news
or or the news you know it used to be fox news was fair and balanced yeah you have maybe now you have
maybe three hours but we lost the drudge report we've lost so many different um sites obviously
rush limbaugh has you know passed away rob ben where do you go for your new w what are some of
the places you guys get your news i don't have any news no i'm just kidding i get my news off
the internet of the internet but what i know well when i see it says aol i know it's going to be uh
bolshevism when i say it's fox news i trust it i i i know you don't like them and i agree they made
some big mistakes and they're not as conservative as they should be but i i think they're still
doing a heck of a lot better job than almost all the other big players except newsmax that newsmax
is exploding with energy and growth and they they i think are going to become the leaders and that
they will be where we get our news what are your thoughts on that rob well first of all 93 wibc
yes this this award-winning program three nights a week and then you know part of what we've lacked
the ability to do anymore because we we we have we don't educate critical thinking anymore is i
enjoy reading publications that i know are left i feel like i learn more about myself and about
our world reading how the other side thinks and then sifting through it and picking it apart so i
actually will read a lot of liberal publications because i think it's important it is important
i read the new york times played off not not to cover the government when i read the cover of
governor i realized that as we jews say one long distraught just one long district black people are
being mistreated women are being mistreated people fluid gender are being mistreated
everybody's being mistreated but wait a minute how about all the people driving around in fancy cars
and living beautiful houses or apartments how about all the people who are so happy and they
have big smiles on their faces as they're walking down the street or eating their shoes you're
screaming they don't look mistreated and by the way i agree with you guys i missed louis
a great point i miss lou dobbs oan i'm not i'm not that familiar with yet but um you know you
you i wanna totally forgot what point i was just gonna bring up but so i will go to a quick segment
on how to find us if you just tuned in you are listening to the world according to ben stein of
course you can get our podcast wherever podcasts are downloadable you can get uh our newsletter
benstein.subscribe.com you can find ben on parlor at ben stein and you can find rob kendall at a
very conservative news talk station uh 931 wibc and of course you can find ben at spectator.org
but you um yesterday you were on newsmax and there are some sites that are uh but just that we have
to uh do this type of thing that that that we need a site is a very frightening thing that
you know i mean by god the thing that we can be censored for the most obvious questions about how
america is run it's unbelievable i i kept saying to you and to to all my other friends this isn't
america anymore and yet and yeah let's be honest the new america has real integration and real
real equality for african americans that's a new wonderful part of america it's it's new and it's
wonderful and it's glorious and uh i think we should take a lot of pride and i i'd like to
see americans have a lot more pride in what we've accomplished you're asking a huge favor because at
that point we're going back to the schools we're going back to children being taught how bad we are
i know but but but
we as parents and grandparents can fight that and tell our children what's right or what's wrong i
mean i i sat with my unbelievably unbelievably beautiful granddaughter at dinner tonight
and told her some history and it wasn't stuff she wasn't learning in school
and uh she seemed to be absorbing quite well like she seems she is terribly intelligent of course
we have to we have to be even if we're not doing it through the new york times we have to do
whatever we can teach your children well their parents know we'll slowly go by and rob we have
somebody in the chat room that is a huge fan of yours josh richardson who says he listens to you
every single day he has a cardboard cutout of you in his apartment and he said he said he's your
biggest fan so i don't know take that for what it means rob but uh that's that's a huge compliment
great he's my fan singular no yeah rob you have tons of fans but i want to get back
let's let's have a little fun for the last 15 minutes we need a little time off from politics
um i i wouldn't you agree ben just a little fortunate
no no i what what i want you to talk about
i don't want you to sing i want you to i want i want to talk about a little bit about
something that interests you ben stein tell us what interests ben stein well a beautiful young
woman whom i met at a gas station in malibu a few days ago when i was driving through there in my
ravenously hungry car and used gasoline i drive a car that is the exact opposite of what the aoc
people would want it's a v8 twin turbo it goes like a rocket ship i'm my uh my uh companion i
pulled into a gas station in melbourne there were four beautiful young kids well groomed intelligent
and i started asking them about their lives and it's amazing they're all hard workers they all
have ambitions they all have plans for their lives they're going to do things with their lives i was
very very impressed with them there are some good eggs out there in america that we there's plenty
of good to be done but i want to go back and say well here's some things we've done
we america developed the vaccine against the coronavirus that the chinese loosed around the
world we america started my warps operation warp speed by donald trump uh have been knocking at
roughly roughly half of our population very very very quickly we america america got through the
covenant recession without it turning into another great depression which many people including that
imbecile paul krugman uh forecast we have we have we have done incredible good in the middle east we
got peace there in places that could not conceivably have had peace without us this is
an incredible achievement that we've been we've incredible achievements the last four years and
let's even include the last few months under mr biden i've seen amazing progress in america
let's have some pride yes we are losing free speech we've got to fight back against that
we've got to speak out freely and not be afraid but we have made incredible progress just much
to be proud of about america you just gave me actually you actually just gave me a thought
rob he just gave ben you just gave me as you always do you gave me a thought
and it's this you're out there enjoying your life and you know i said i'm not that much i i
didn't have a very good dessert tonight and and as and as you know one of the things i say
a lot is that the left just seems for people that are are woke they're just so damn asleep
and rob wouldn't it be great if we just showed them how to have fun like we're the conservatives
and i said we're the counter culture let's start having fun and maybe that could be contagious like
you know what maybe i'd rather have fun than [ __ ] maybe i'd rather have fun than than tweet
maybe i'd i'd rather you know go go get the second we could go to concerts let's show up
for those concerts let's show up those comedy clubs let's get the hell out of our houses rob
let's play with our incredibly cute nine-year-old granddaughter
exactly because our grandparents let's play with our grandchildren
by the way can you can you imagine showing up to your local park and ben stein is there
well uh yeah why not somewhere everybody's gonna be pretty cool hey you're that guy from the movies
yeah yeah you're that guy no i yeah there's so much that we can do to have fun and to be proud
part of our age station my point is with my plan my point is to you is when you have fun and
you're enjoying life you're proud there's a certain amount of inner you know
um security contentment that a person has when they're able to go to the park
with their granddaughter when they're able to go outside and be with friends
and that is truly missing in the left there is no joy rob there's joy in stepping on our faces
i think it's like one of the reasons our show the award-winning mock and rob show
no weekdays nine to noon on 93 wibc bam does so well is because we spend a lot of time talking
on things that aren't necessarily political we laugh a lot we have fun a lot on the important
stuff we get down to business and talk about it we talk about what a great country this is and how
wonderfully blessed we are to live in the greatest idea ever conceived by man and why it is that
but we also we laugh a lot about what happens in pop culture in society
and that's that's something that that people who love liberty and the constitution have to do
is show that there is benefit to your existence to believe in this way and it's a betterment of
your existence a happier more fun existence to have these liberties and freedoms we love america
and we love being in america and we will fight for america we're old and we eat too much but we love
america and let's let's let's have that be part of our journey love love is an important part of our
lives i love so many different people and i don't hold grudges against anyone and i just love love
love being an american every day i look i say i'll say this a million times i'll say it again
i'm a jew i grew up looking at pictures of cup concentration gifts as they were being liberated
and then i said oh my god i live in america i live in a beautiful house designed by a famous
architect with a green forest and lawn all around all the food i want anything i want
basically and yet yeah how many people in all of history have lived the way we live let's be
happy about that there's joy in that this human race as we know it has existed for maybe i don't
know eight six seven eight thousand years there's never been anything like that that's their goal
is to suck the ever living joy out of our country that is the left's goal is to just be joy suckers
okay if we're enjoying something we're not allowed to we're not allowed to because there aren't
enough blacks in it we're not allowed to because there are enough women in it we have to wonder
if there's a paid discrepancy we have to worry about kneeling and you know what our job is to say
screw you and we're going to enjoy our lives our god-given lives in the greatest country
that's ever been created and i really think of enough people say to the aoc shut up you
miserable shrew of a woman just shut up and stop ruining it for everybody
other people i i i don't think we're as dire and dare or whatever as as some would say i do believe
there's hope i believe most people ben want to live this great life that you talk about one word
look at how people risk their lives every day to get here for god's sake aoc wake the [ __ ] up
people are risking their lives every day to get here doesn't that tell you something
about what a great country this is no you're you're wrong well i was gonna say one thing
the left has done very very well and a lot of it's been done with george soros money
is while conservatives have been focused on large-scale elections presidency senate house
governor's office they've they've done a tremendous job of winning local elections
and if you're a conservative or you're a liberty loving person you talk about people needing to
be involved you can it's not that hard to win a local election i'm telling you from experience
a little motivation couple of volunteers you can go out and win a school board race you can
win a town or city council race you can get a good person to win it when a prosecutorial race
county council county commissioners these are things that local the conservatives on a local
level that don't take a ton of effort they can win these elections and start making a profound
different so if you're thinking about how you can get involved i would encourage so many people i
would encourage so many of the people hearing our voice to look long and hard on a local level
about where you can make a difference it's a great idea we can make a difference look it
starts in little tiny i educate my granddaughter my granddaughter educates her friends they stand
up to the teacher and i mean i i've seen the teachers actually her score great but
some kids stand up to jesus and i want to hear your bolshevism america is the
greatest as as you said america is the greatest idea made flesh i mean they say
the bible says that christ is the word made flesh i think america is the word made flesh
that's that's that's brilliantly said um and just for the record he doesn't have a
cardboard cut out of you rob i i do apologize for that comment but he is a huge fan of yours
but i have a cardboard cut out of ben and that's for many other reasons um but i do really think
fun is contagious sir i really do i think living a joyful life living a spiritual life is contagious
i don't think the life listen the numbers prove were right okay if they were correct
60 million people would be watching the oscars if virtue signaling and their ideas were working
25 million people would be watching the nba but every single number of every single media event
sporting event is down that is proof positive that their way isn't working they're not
they're not there's no contagious of their thoughts in my humble opinion i could be wrong rob
there's contagion i'm sorry no i think you're you're absolutely right and we talked about this
just the other day the i call it the swarm the left is great at the swarm where on social media
or whatever they swarm people to an argument or a debate it's why corporations cater to these people
it's why people are quiet on social media they want to make you feel as though you're completely
overwhelmed by people that there's you know of the 330 million people in the country that all
but seven of them believe like they do and the the proof is in the pudding it's not they're just very
loud they're very vocal they're often very mean and very nasty and the big reason is there's never
any ramification for them doing that you know any consequence so people have to remember that
you're not alone you're the majority don't act like you're the minority you are our majority
act like it that is great i love that i love that i love that on that no you're you raise agree i
mean you know it's brilliant it was brilliantly said and and again i heart i go back to the thing
the image of ben with his uh granddaughter in the park today living life enjoying life and that's
contagious you know what's not contagious is people screaming at you to put on a mask
that's not contagious somebody playing with their grandchild contagious and we need to start and it
from our elected officials they really need to start contagious of you talk about principles ben
but of getting back to the american way of life and that's and that's an extremely important
message that needs to start coming from from the conservative movement from the republican party
is let's let's let's let's let's show them let's let's win at life let's have fun let's
enjoy ourselves let's eat a good meal let's treat ourselves right we deserve it we don't not deserve
these things because it's closer to the past maybe because we're white we don't we're not supposed to
enjoy these things and i just want to and quickly i don't really watch the news i read and i have a
friend that calls me up and every other day i got to tell you he calls me up and he tells me
so and so was cancelled and i say are you like on this like canceling feed like if somebody gets
cancelled like you get alerted like i have no idea who these people are they're canceling i mean who
is it isaac newton that got cancelled the other day and i'm like why should i care that i stick
newton with wait a minute jude was a mathematician hundreds of years ago yeah i think they're trying
to i think they're trying to to cancel him for sins of the sins of his past and it's like
somebody's alive for hundreds of years it doesn't matter ben when they when they run out of the live
thing they'll go after the dead it what do you mean look at all the statues they've tried to
remove that's the left's new policy we've run out of the living to cancel let's go after the dying
and and and that's how big of a joke it is and that's why you know under 10 million people watch
an awards event that used to be amazing that we could all agree was a fun time to watch i missed
the days of billy crystal that was my what about bob hope he was really good he was too young for
