The World According To Ben Stein

Traffic Stops Are Never Routine!

Episode Summary

Traffic Stops Are Never Routine Democrats would and are, destroying this great country with legislation and executive orders that would make Trotsky proud. Where are the Republicans? To Republicans in Congress, I say again: “Silence like a cancer grows” and right now, the Democrats’ wicked agenda is metastasizing at warp speed.

to the world according to batman over there  benjamin jeremy stein we are joined tonight  

by the simplelifenow.com founder gary  the builder look at that union gap  

sorry i thought it was gonna be gary pocket on the  union gap okay never mind everybody oh my god of  

course we are joined again tonight by our one of  our favorite guests my mother's two out of three  

favorite guests on the show tonight 931 bam the  future conservative talk radio rob kendall hello  

who's who's i've got to tell you rob your hair is  coming in amazingly they have done fantastic work  

on your hair you are a vision for  hair plant whatever they call that um

and of course the show would  not be complete without  

founder rotary club member lawyer actor  provocateur saint center father grandfather  

statistician mathematician lawyer economist  but of course doctor benjamin jeremy stein  

hello sir hello all of you following all of you  i'm you everybody looks great tonight except me um  

you look the greatest really young  

rob's younger than i am and um i am in the weeds  but i really want to get to this story right  

away it's this story about this um police thing  that happened in new york city this morning and  

i i i i sometimes i want to say i call the police  a little bit for one word there is nothing ever  

routine about a traffic stop and for you know  for police every time they open that door they  

go to that window there's nothing routine  they don't know who they're going to be seeing  

or what dangers might face i mean this morning  in new york near new york city police pulled  

over as ben would call it an african-american  freedom fighter and um he decided to get out  

of his car after they were checking his license  and he doused one of them it might have been two  

separate occasions he threw a molotov cocktail at  one and doused another one with um um fluids um  

dangerous fluids in that and um as ben always says  as ben stein as you always say this is this is the  

stories that don't get reported enough that this  is the you know these police officers that get  

nothing paid nothing getting and and the reason  i bring this up i get right to the event is  

when we're driving somebody haunts us the  biggest reason most of us don't get angry  

or don't scream back for the most part is  because we don't know who we're dealing with  

cops are no different than us they're human  beings and and then when they go to that car  

they're humans like us and they're facing what  we would never face i said it's a terrifying  

job being a policeman by the way it's not as  badly great as you think it is but it's a very  

very dangerous job it's a terrifying job and to  think that the police are paying as the villains  

when they are the safeguarders of this society is  amazing we are talking about defunding the police  

in some way cracking down on people who save our  lives and keeping society alive is astonishing  

it's like saying we're going to start beating up  on a brain surgeon as he's doing brain surgery  

these people are life savers why are we asking  them yes of course they make mistakes there are  

hundreds of thousands of interactions between  police and civilians every day maybe millions  

they're going to be some that don't go right  but in general the police do a magnificent  

job we should be magnificently grateful  to them instead of beating up on them and  

humiliating them and making them feel scared  and making them feel that their their families  

their wives and husbands and children are not safe  that is outrageous it's incredible that's done  

and you bring up something very important about  mistakes and this is according to the washington  

post you know the source of all great news  since 2015 there have been 6 200 basically  

uh people have been killed by the police 46  percent of them have been white 24 of them  

have been black okay so when we talk about  the millions of interactions police have  

a year with the civilian with civilians that  number is minuscule is a tiny tiny number rob  

kendall i see you wanted to jump in and then  i know gary's got an interesting story on this  

but i just think it's fascinating and i can say  this my dad was a federal law enforcement officer  

and dealt with some of the worst of humanity and  every day i know his first goal was to come home  

and i think that's the goal of every law  enforcement officer is to come home and  

this idea that police seek confrontation in for  99.9 of cases is laughable there's nothing more  

than police want them to leave you alone and this  idea i mean we come back to what happened in in  

minnesota that this woman was an exemplary  officer for 25 years and then just woke up  

one day and decided i'm going to try to kill  an african-american i mean when you have to  

actually say these things out loud it all  falls apart but yet the narrative continues  

yeah well but i'm sorry i'm gonna get all right  i'm sorry oh go ahead ben go ahead i'm gonna say  

it it's very first of all that's an astonishingly  large number i'm just i'm really shocked  

that that large number i think the really  interesting statistic we were looking for is  

how many of the interactions total  interactions between civilians and police are  

instigated by african-american freedom fighters  and what percent are they of the population let's  

say they are 13 or 14 of the population what  percent of all conversations with officers  

do you think african-american freedom fighters  do i would say i would say you have to go by the  

statistic of and i can't i don't i i would have  to say i once i once looked it up i don't have  

it in my head i would say it's probably the  same percentile between very very confident

the likelihood i'm an african-american freedom  fighter being involved in a confrontation with  

a police officer is dramatically higher  than for a white [ __ ] with nothing  

gary collins i don't i don't know what to say  that um no and i agree i was in federal law  

enforcement and and i pulled people out of cars  at gunpoint a couple times and i'll tell you  

right now the pucker factor for an everyday  american i can't even tell you what it is  

a whole lot of things are going on in your head  and they're going on in milliseconds i mean it's  

so fast and and to think that these officers can  have to be and can be perfect every single time  

it's unrealistic it's completely unrealistic and  what the problem is uh you know the defund police  

soon turns in to refund the police because crime  skyrockets in those areas and now they're talking  

about in every city gary everybody exactly  every major city and the thing too is that  

what we see is again the media lighting dumpster  fires everywhere you know they go pinpoint one  

instance in like the instance of the taser right  is that the one you were talking about where she  

she pulled out her gun instead of her taser uh  there's been so many they've been going after  

recently it's hard to keep them straight like the  guy who shot the 13 year old and the 13 year old  

fully deserved yeah it was 100 a good shoot  i mean you can't even question that one  

um but they will and they do but with the taser  it's very simple that they go well why would she  

reach for a gun it's muscle memory anyone who's  been in law enforcement knows we put tens of  

thousands of rounds in a target and muscle memory  is right hand gun out engage target you do that  

tens of thousands of times in a high pressure  situation you're going to go back to the simplest  

task that your muscle memory goes to which is gun  deadly force gun it's not taser tasers are new  

you know you would have to do so many repetitions  with a taser and then at first they were putting  

the taser behind the gun in front of the gun now  it's left-handed people are just don't understand  

most people have never even been hunting let  alone had any experience with weapons period  

or situations that require deadly force  they have no clue what they're talking about  

and these reporters definitely  don't i mean why why do we assume  

considering the data why do we assume it's a  police officer person sworn to have all the  

law is trained that is the guilty person  i mean the data is overwhelming that in a  

shooting in this country only a tiny number are  caused by the police what why do we assume that  

the police are always aggressive there's no  data behind that at all why do we assume that  

well you even with this statistics bear out that  they instantly caught racist that blacks have so  

many more interactions with police officers well  those symbols because they start their minds i  

mean no no no what i'm saying though is just if  you go by that and simple statistics say if you  

have more contact with a police officer the odds  of you getting in a hostile confrontation go up  

to no matter what i don't care race whatever  that's just statistics that's the way it goes  

and the problem is we also lack respect towards  police and i i was in law enforcement when i get  

pulled over you know what i do hands on steering  wheel i don't make any fast moves yes sir no sir  

yes ma'am no ma'am yes what do you you don't trust  me obey the commands that is what you're supposed  

to do shut up even if you're right just shut up  be quiet you'd rather go to court and face them in  

court than be dead keep your mouth shut and obey  commands i can't make it any simpler than that

i just want to say one thing that's  funny that gary said or ben said  

or ben said that data like the left  cares about data okay it could be

data and science only matter to the left when it  fits their narrative let's remember that sorry no  

no i was just gonna say gary can speak to this too  they teach you in law enforcement if you hesitate  

you die i mean this is something that we nobody  ever brings up that they teach this for a reason  

in law enforcement it's a split second decision  i used to talk to my dad about this all the time  

about are you worried if you have to use your your  weapon and he said no because they've been they've  

trained us that if there's a doubt you're going to  die you've got to make a split second decision and  

later whether it's the right one or not but you're  put in a terrible awful position you have to make  

a split-second decision that you wouldn't wish  on your worst enemy well not only that but as an  

officer you have rules to follow as as a citizen  or a gangbanger a punk you don't follow any rules  

so it's a totally different ball game for the  person the law enforcement officer engaging  

someone because you're engaging something  that's a wild card every single time but  

the other person on the other end of the  officer knows what they're going to get right  

it's it frustrates me to death there's also it's  also kind of a status thing it's very low status  

for a policeman to use his weapon and then find  himself being prosecuted for a unsuitable illegal  

uh homicide whereas among the gangbangers it's a  big mark of status it's a great thing to use your  

gun but the police don't want to use your guns the  gang bangers do want you to guess just listen to  

the rap songs that's all you need to do no you're  completely right and i love something that um  

that rob brought up about when they go to work  that day the last thing police officers ever want  

to do is paperwork okay um the last thing anybody  wants to do is paperwork okay and and i can  

guarantee you that 99.999 of police officers don't  want to be involved in any sort of uh shooting  

and the problem now we're running into ben is  that pausing that pausing is going to get people  

killed it's the second you start to think that  you're dead and we are putting our policemen  

we are putting anybody out there in a very  precarious and dangerous situation right now  

because we've lost all new ones we could look  at every single of these police shootings  

the last one in minnesota the guy  ran out of his car or drove away  

he had a criminal record he was being tried he  was going to be almost sentenced to 20 years in  

jail we have atlanta where they stole the taser  gun from the police um we have all these in  

chicago with the gun because gary said justified  shooting but there is no nuance with the left ben  

that's what we've learned there's no  nuance or statistic that actually matters

fixing that that won't happen again i mean i make  another comment on the same lines the ones i've  

been making all evening which is there's just a  big question in my mind as to why we would assume  

that the police trained to protect us sworn to  protect us offering up their lives every day  

to protect us that they would start a war with  america's african-american community especially  

since at this point in the history of america  so very many other police are african-americans  

so why do we assume that the police are  the new ku klux klan there's no there's no  

quality to get this there's no evidence of it at  all and yet it is assumed why because it makes  

money for black lives matter and so the other  people who while pretending to be highly moral  

entities are in in reality either terrorist  organizations or extremely close doing terrorist  

nations but ben i i couldn't afford a house a  1.4 million dollar house in torrance as a law  

enforcement officer i mean how how else would  i be able to do that i got to stir up a bunch  

of crap and get rich off it and say black lives  matter and i'm out living in a white neighborhood  

yeah why is it all right there by the way why  is it why is it that all these uh black people  

talking about how horrible white people are and  what a vicious racist system you have perpetrated  

by the white people why as soon as they make  money do they want to live in white neighborhoods  

well not only that but if we're such a racist  country i understand why white people are so  

horrible why don't they go back to africa i  mean i don't understand if africa was so great  

and america is so awful a lot of them have lots  and lots of money i see them in beverly hills  

i see it in restaurants where dinner  for two or three hundred dollars  

why don't they go back to africa i don't  understand i'm not saying they should i think  

it's great that we have them here but they're  incredibly enriching qualities but if americans  

act great why are they staying here well why  are you imagining this country well my answer  

to that is simple why is everyone from the rest  of the world trying to sneak through our borders  

exactly exactly exactly right if america is  the horrible slimy fascist sinkhole that aoc  

and the other people say it is why is everyone in  the world want god wanted to come here and on that  

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

we're joined tonight by rob kendall from 931  wybc bam the future of conservative talk radio  

gary collins the simplelifenow.com founder member  podcaster um lover and a beautiful viewer tonight  

and a lover and a beautiful view tonight um  but we're discussing something serious and  

rob i know you wanted to get into this um but  i'm always curious what your callers are saying  

about these situations because when you when you  get these callers and i'm just curious what they  

say about these situations well first of all i  went to cracker barrel today where dinner for  

two was thirty dollars so i gotta start hanging  out with ben more often ben can't afford to take  

you those things anymore ben could afford to take  you those places before the democrats ruined the  

i'm economy kidding here's what's  here's what's really interesting so  

we just passed the one year anniversary of the  death of a police officer here in indianapolis  

named brianna taylor and she was she was  shot dead on the job in a hostage situation  

by a lunatic and there was almost nothing outside  of the basic reporting that this police officer  

was shot in fact she was denied the normal uh  officer you know a funeral that you would receive  

because of coven 19 and it's like the one year  anniversary came and went people were just like  

and it's like where where's the marching for her  where's the walking for her where's the protesting  

for her when police officers die no one seems to  care uh oh well no big deal but when it happens to  

someone else we see what we've seen in chicago  what we've seen in minneapolis and man again  

it just comes back to i i just can't imagine why  anybody would want to be a police officer anymore  

i'm incredibly thankful that they are but for what  it pays and the risk you take and what you have to  

deal with that's uh those aren't very good odds  well i i have a question i asked long long long  

ago when we had the rodney jailer uh rodney came  out of ryan's in l.a long ago why why do white  

people never lie why is that i didn't hear you  say that again why is it that white people in the  

united states of america never rise well why is it  that the african-americans arrive not the asians  

not the hispanics the african-american freedom  fighters why are they the ones who are writing  

not the people polish sheriffs not the people of  russian heritage not people of irish heritage why  

is it that the african-americans who are rioting  i don't understand that i'm sure there's a reason  

i don't know what it is it's funny that he's  not funny but it said that he said it because  

i was actually thinking about that today with the  police officer as as they got a molotov cocktail  

thrown at them and they had you know liquids uh  you know really harmful liquids thrown at them  

but there's not happen to be any riots because  of that because no because people don't  

it's just not in the dna for most people to go  out and lose and write it's just it's just not  

but i think also something that is we've touched  on this before but as i looked at the number there  

were 760 murders last year in chicago that's not  including the shootings they're on pace this year  

already to beat that number of 766 760 murders  and i think for people that are looking on the  

outside in for people like us white people um are  looking at this and going why is this not being  

spoken about and that's the heart that's it it's  very hard to reconcile that that that it doesn't  

matter those 760 people then whoever they are have  no significance to the media have no significance  

to the american public have no nothing they mean  nothing they mean nothing unless there is some  

way to make money off their dead bodies i mean  i i find it so endlessly amazing that we do not  

celebrate the fact that we have hundreds of  thousands or well over a hundred thousand men  

and women in this country are willing to be law  enforcement officers and risk their lives every  

day and we do celebrate and kneel in the aisles  of congress for a person who is a criminal and a  

lifelong criminal record who gets killed by action  by the police to be sure he should not have been  

killed to be sure i'm very glad we do have these  african-american freedom fighters in america  

enriching our lives culturally and in so many  other ways but i am very very sad we do not wonder  

why it is that the media says it's cool if you're  an african student if you're an african-american  

to riot and the loot whereas if you're a white  person it is not cool why is that gary collins  

well i've talked about this on my podcast and and  here as well that if chicago was its own country  

it'd be the most violent country in the world by  far and no one's talking about that that we have a  

rate of violence in this country that is basically  the top of the food chain no one's talking about  

it no one says anything it's not uncommon to  have 20 30 shootings in a weekend in chicago  

that's that's that's i can't even rationalize that  in any stretch but i can't i can rationalize it if  

you took the african-american freedom fighters out  of the calculations we would not have an unusually  

high murder rate it's the african-american freedom  fighters who are doing the killing and the dying  

why is that why why is that i think well i don't  think it's in the dna at all somebody mentioned  

that's in the dna i don't think it's in the dna  i think that the media is encouraging them to  

do it and the media doesn't die black people die  and i think it's very irresponsible the media to  

encourage black people to think that violence is  cool when it's not if you're the one who's dying  

are getting badly injured rob kendall i've  i've wondered this for a while and ben you  

can speak to this because you've been around  politics and dealing with the national media  

for a long time there's no doubt that the media  cheers for chaos they love to report on it yeah  

but i wonder this because you've dealt with  these men and women for a long time ben  

don't they realize that they live in this country  too i mean do they ever realize that because  

it doesn't ever seem like this bothers them and  they're manipulating people to chaos and calamity  

they they don't really feel like they live in this  country they feel like they live in a stratosphere  

above this country they feel like there is an  america which is the america people are working  

stiffs and go to work every day sometimes also  dressed in uniforms carrying guns and badges  

and then there's the america of the beautiful  people and that's a whole different american  

when i worked at the wall street journal many many  years ago and used to be in charge of covering all  

cultural events uh so that was when the  journal was a much smaller paper than this now  

uh i saw the beautiful people every day of the  week and the beautiful people really think they  

are too beautiful to be involved with america  they think they are way way above the ordinary  

america way way above you i mean you both raised  like a great question rob and great answer ben  

and it is it is frightening what the media has  done to our country i mean and we could we we  

really could you know last night chris cuomo  that jackass i mean it's a family of jack yes  

said basically he said what needs to happen is  white kids need to start getting shot by police  

and that will resolve this that will resolve this  issue the issue of eight unarmed people getting  

killed last year black people getting killed last  year by police officers will solve the issue he  

basically chris cuomo said white children  need to die so and i was thinking to myself  

and that'll change the issue most school shootings  are white kids that are getting killed okay the  

most school shootings and it hasn't changed  really our views on things because we realize  

a lot of us as a society that these are events  that are sick but they're not the guns they're  

the sick people that are committing the crimes  so this idiotic statement once again by another  

cuomo i don't know how cnn i don't know  how don lama and chris cuomo have i i don't  

ben how they have how they have jobs it's beyond  women because the people that hire them think the  

same thing and people who hire them think they're  too cold for school too i mean the people who  

hire them think that they are above you and me  by a long long long way and above the ordinary  

citizen by a long long long way and now they've  reached a hand out to the powers in corporate  

america and they've said you can be part of us  we invite you to be part of the beautiful people  

yes yes yes all you have to do is condemn whitey  say that america is a racist cesspool and you can  

be part of the beautiful people too and so they do  so turn that around rob can you imagine if chris  

cuomo would have flipped that switch a little bit  and said something you know as ben always says  

people with money white people christians you can  knock the crap out of them you could say whatever  

you want about these people we have no rights  we're privileged yeah we're the privileged class  

as gary you know was very privileged growing up i  don't know about europe bringing rob but it's it's  

it's literally can you imagine if you said that  on the air well there's a total double standard  

and what's really interesting is this guy from  cnn that o'keefe caught who who who meets this  

chick on tinder she goes and finds this guy who  works for cnn on tinder keeps pretending to be  

interested in him and he's trying to impress this  girl so they go on like four or five dates and  

he's trying to impress her by talking about what  a bunch of a-holes cnn is and how they manipulate  

the news and they were out to destroy trump and  he gives up cnn and exactly what they are what  

we know they all are because he's trying to score  with this chick i mean the media are nothing but  

up in the national media i didn't even know that  was the whole story and that's yeah he got he got  

catfish gary collins on tinder beautifully they  found you know she finds this guy or keeps it or  

whoever on tinder and says go try to hook up and  go try to pretend you're interested in this guy  

and see how much you can get him to give up and  he told everything we already knew about cnn

great super victory and it  would make a great movie except  

i would have the colombians to make  it i'm sorry gary you go ahead please  

it's very simple these these these  losers can't get laid any other way so

they're such losers in life you know and and they  have to play this game and their way to play the  

game is to impress a girl by telling her the truth  about how corrupt he is and his organization he  

works for boy that's great you know marry that guy  see how that goes you know you're using his game  

it might help you a little bit yeah but let's try  let's let's try let's try i i would like to see if  

we can try to go back to the idea that what why is  it that the real power base in this country naming  

the media and especially wealthy people in the  media are so anti-american this is the america  

that made them real this is the america to give  their children incredibly lavish private education  

this is the america that lets them have  really beautiful private vacation homes  

with uh chris crafts boats with teak decks why do  they hate this america so much what what nuttiness  

is it that makes them hate this american source  and it has to be it seems to me it has to be that  

their fellows their colleagues their comrades say  to them we love you for doing this we hate america  

too but where does it start where's the chicken  in the egg situation here where where did this  

idea of being being cool to hate american story  and i have to say i think it started with the  

communist party in the united states in the uh to  the time of the bolshevik revolution in uh russia  

and spread throughout america and it was slightly  tamed uh by uh the mccarthy era but then it came  

back and giant effort since in the 60s i mean in  the 60s the people who were running things and  

playing games in sections and i was one of them  were following a marxist agenda pure and simple  

it's a great question you ask and i want everybody  to answer that after this brief announcement if  

you just tuned in thank you for listening to the  world according to ben stein thank you everybody  

in youtube chat thank you everybody that's  been downloading the podcast it's been amazing  

um remember to give a five star review go to  and also get ben's newsletter bensign.subscribe  

um we're joined of course tonight by rob kendall  um whose hair is looking amazing from 1931  

wibc banned the future of conservative talk radio  that's the man and of course gary collins from  

simplelifenow.com you can read ben spectator.org  and find out parlor at benstein um but ben you  

asked a great question i'll answer it first  because i think i'm right because it's uh it's  

but it has to do with what you're saying and it's  the lack of god okay when you don't believe in god  

this country is offered is is the greatest thing  in the world it offers people so much it offers  

everybody a chance at something special and when  you get those special things if you don't believe  

in a in a greater in in a higher place in  a higher power you can't accept the good  

that's been given because if you don't believe it  finishes luck it's like a spinning wheel and it  

could be taken at any moment and you have no joy  in that because you don't believe in something  

you weren't you don't it's like the difference  between people that say they're lucky and blessed  

and i could say that most people that are  communists and marxists and all these people  

don't believe in god don't have a higher power  their higher power is themselves and that's what  

you're describing these people then the media  believe they're gods okay well in many ways in  

this country they are gods there's only one god  but that's my answer to your question for it oh  

that's a scary answer thank you well i i think  one of the things the left has done very well  

over the past i don't know i guess 40 years or  so is dominate the public education sphere i mean  

let's face it they have done a wonderful  job even in republican areas of getting far  

left people controlling public education both  through both teaching and administration in many  

cases and you have a group of people who grow up  thinking that america is unjust it was unjustly  

founded it's awful it's horrific it's terrible not  that there need to be reforms done to it this is  

the scary part not the reforms need to be done  they believe america is wholly awful from its  

inception and the only way to fix it is tear it  down and start all over again in their image and  

so when you have generations now of people them  believing their god you're describing all ways  

and that's always why i hated that term  nation building or building a country  

to be like us you're overwhelmed sorry go  ahead rob yeah you're good with the others  

you couldn't hear me or was  too much it was all boring  

i'm sorry basically what i was saying rob is  you're defining what people believe they're gone  

you know that's that's these are these  are people that truly believe they're gone

scary very scary gary from your yeah tell  us what you think well i think there's  

i think there's a couple pieces  to it and this is just me  

observing uh and being around a lot  of these people protecting them and  

intermingling with them in the government and  having to be around their little parties and stuff  

first of all these are the people who usually have  never been punched in the face honestly they've  

never been in a fight they've never had to fight  for you know their freedom they've never served  

their country they've never worn a uniform they're  [ __ ] and they've been coddled their entire life  

and they feel that they're more important  than you even though they've never done  

anything to be more important than you it's a  it's a weird psychop psychopathy that's hard  

to explain it's very narcissistic and it's in its  kind of stems from but it goes further than that  

because it kind of funnels into it does it's a god  complex that i know better if you just do what i  

say and we're like me this would be a better place  but they don't have any skin in the game it's like  

aoc and people i got a email saying i'm hard on  her but i am because she's an idiot and she's  

she's been cuddled her entire life and when you  get someone who's been coddled their entire life  

and you're 28 and you got a college degree and  you're still working in a bar that tells me you're  

[ __ ] idiot sorry but i hope i didn't get us in  trouble but i mean come on and then she's a she's  

a congresswoman and you're all you hear the things  that come out of her mouth that's because she's a  

nobody she's a loser who ended up in power losers  in power this is how they act i saw it firsthand  

it's and there's no way to control him because  it's unbridled i mean she's not a loser anymore  

she's called she's the puppeteer and mr biden is  the married is the puppet do you know why she is  

a loser because she's miserable and i consider  that you know that she's miserable she may be  

adopted alert i i she looks awfully angry to  me i mean people look like nancy pelosi looks  

incredibly miserable but i bet she isn't that  mean she should be miserable by this she isn't  

i mean but let's see she's got a lot of ice cream  ben she's got good good ice cream and big freezers  

and a great hairstylist um rob kendall i you  reinterrupted you for a second so sorry no i i  

do think this is interesting though we talked  about this on friday on the air pelosi's got  

a real problem now because pelosi is a far left  liberal but she also understands the confines of  

trying to get liberalism accomplished through  legislation and to keeping a majority and now  

she's dealing with people it's like when when bain  takes over in batman yeah you know you harness the  

power of a lunatic to to grow your numbers now  you gotta deal with these people and i think  

she's finding out real quickly like with nadler  and uh and marky and those guys putting forward  

this plan to expand the the supreme court you saw  it with the green new deal she doesn't want any  

part of this because she knows how the public will  respond but she has lunatics like aoc and nadler  

and the rest of the squad etcetera that are now  the most vocal and the most out there and the  

representation of her party it's a big problem for  her it's a giant problem for the whole country i  

mean but just think of we basically as a country  now or have the government run not entirely but  

in very large measure by a bunch of valley girls  now many of you are too young to remember are two  

young remember valley girlfriends basically by a  bunch of gossipy teenage girls and only these ones  

are ultra leftist teenage girls and and kind  of wacky and incredibly incredibly uneducated  

and that's who's running a country now i mean  it's terrifying to think he's running the country  

which brings me to the next point and i want  to get to this ben and which it's something  

you posted a parlor today and we posted it  twice but it's one of my favorite you know  

to the republicans silence like a cancer grows  right you know to quote the great science this  

is a great simon and garfunkel and it is  metastasizing at warps speed in the democrat  

party this cancer that they are bringing on  this country right now is is in warp speed what  

they're doing with trying to do with legislation  what they're trying to do with executive action  

ben is great yeah it's interesting my wifey and  i uh were just coming back for dinner and i said  

that i was feeling kind of uh sad and i said  this has been some year we had a media coup  

a savage dishonest media coup against the  president who was doing a perfectly fine job  

a savage vicious immediate coup basically  assassinated him character-wise then we had coven  

then we had covered used as an  excuse which you need to shut down

on the humans of course we  need to take classical activity  

but to seal up the human personality for a year  for more than a year that seems like to me a bit  

much but all this has happened and and we had this  very bad economic contraction and now we're having  

an economic expansion we're on the road to having  serious inflation and and i was about to say  

but look we rolled on and things are fine but  things aren't fine i mean yes i had a very good  

dinner tonight i guess i had crab cakes one of  my favorite foods yes i had a very good dinner  

tonight but we are losing freedom of speech very  fast the courts are being corrupt very very fast  

we have the department of justice and sensei  being run as a gestapo against conservatives  

so we're just doing no more than sightseeing in  the capital that's a this country has not come  

through this unchanged this country is a country  where there are people in fear i i have been  

alive longer than any of you and uh i think i've  never seen americans in so much fear because we  

fear our own government now i i've known i have  not known americans to fear their own government  

ever in my lifetime until the last few months  as you would say now i'm frightened rob kendall  

it's uh it's fascinating the rapid descent  of america isn't it i mean it's it's it's uh  

it's a bizarre thing where  

it was like democrats pretended to hate  republicans republicans pretended to hate  

democrats but as long as it was one of their  guys around the margins whether it was clinton  

or bush or even to extend obama who talked a  big game but in terms of actual policies there  

wasn't that much difference trump comes along  and these people freak out because they're like  

holy smokes people are paying attention now and  they're sick of our bull crap and it's like they  

completely freaked out and they have they have  hit overdrive in terms of completely destroying  

america and ensuring that freedom and liberty  loving people never hold public office ever again

somebody in the chat said they want to cancel half  of america i actually think some of them want to  

i actually think some of them want to  kill half america gary i think they do  

you know you gave them the power they absolutely  would and i worked with people like this and we  

used to call it eating their own because one day  your their friend their best friend and the next  

day they're trying to basically fire you it was  something very interesting to watch working in  

the government to watch people like this turn on  eventually they turn on each other which is funny  

to watch actually but they hunt we call them  hunters because they're not good at anything  

they're very untalented in general but what  they're good at is hunting other people and  

ruining their lives that's what they're good  at and in the and this is the sad part is  

they get their rocks off on it that is how they  actually live their life and what entertains them  

it's the strangest thing i can't explain it to  people it's the weirdest thing to watch in person  

because it makes absolutely no sense none but  it's because again they have no skin in the game  

they're talentless they have nothing going for  them so why not make everyone else miserable just  

like you why not that's how it counts oh gary my  dear dear friend with your wonderful years y'all  

and i want body and water my dear dear friend they  are they have plenty of skin again they have risen  

on top of the pyramid of power in this country  and they're all they're all going to be rich  

and by the way when you guys talk about one of  the uh black lives matter founders having a 1.4  

million or 1.8 million that's just the beginning  and these people are reiki in tens of millions  

there's no limit to what they can get if they play  that guilty white liberal string often enough it's  

going to be a bloodbath of money pouring in on  them and they're going to use it to get even  

more money and get even more power because the  thing they can play on say telling americans that  

we're racist they can play on that indefinitely  oh ben what i meant because those are so stupid

the american liberals are so stupid they  don't get the fact that america is the least  

racist country in the world what i meant by that  been they have no skin in the game they have no  

skin in the game in the blood for freedom they've  never had to fight for their own freedom we're  

the people who fight for them and yet they want to  destroy us it's purely ironic i mean it's the most  

bizarre thing i laugh at some of them because i  go if it wasn't for me you can't even act like the  

jackass you are you know i'm the one who protects  those freedoms and have most of my life and you're  

attacking me and you couldn't even act that way  if it wasn't for people like us doing this for you  

it's makes your head explode you just yeah can  i can i piggyback on what gary said because i  

i say this quite a bit on the air and gary i'm  probably gonna steal this clip for our show on  

monday because it's nice to hear somebody else  say it for once um when i worked under pence as  

state pharmacy board director when he was governor  i saw this where people talk a good game publicly  

but you get in there and you try to make actual  government reforms and you quickly realize  

there's a huge group of people who claim to be  conservative or have an r next to their name but  

they're invested in the hamster staying on the  wheel because as long as as people think they  

need government those people not only have jobs  they have security and power so if you reform the  

government and show people how little government  they actually need then people those people are  

out of jobs and out of positions of power and it's  just nice to hear somebody else say something like  

this for once you raise a great point because  the other day joe biden they bited the schmuck  

um them being nice he he said the government  employees will give you four months what was  

it four months off if you take in uh migrants  so he's basically he yes so he basically said  

those most of those people aren't doing  jobs that are needed forget about essential  

i mean you talk about waste i mean and when  we look at what's going on in this country  

right now nobody's running the country right now  thank god for certain great governors because our  

elected officials in the house and the presidency  or whatever are doing zilch and they'd like to do  

something yes but imagine if we didn't have strong  republican governors been around the country right  

now who have pretty much saved the economy by not  listening to the to dr death and dr doom fauci  

who if it was up to him you know he's the guy that  wears seven comments you know and uh well i mean  

yeah i mean he would you know anyways and he still  got pregnant right and he's right but then i mean  

it's it's it's really frightening and  somebody and and this is to what i said  

the other night and we didn't touch upon  it enough um for years ben was on a show  

and he made the show i could say he made the  show everybody knows ben from certain things  

but the greatest show that ben was ever  on and that he did in my humble opinion  

was cavuto on fox okay i don't know i loved  it i used to love going to watch you tape it  

i loved it it it was so much fun and at the end of  every show they would make fun of ben because they  

would ask gary and rob they would say what are you  investing you know give us your picks and every  

week ben and and this is when the market maybe was  at ten thousand or whatever ben would always say  

invest in the dow and invest in the specific buy  the market and buy the market and everybody would  

laugh at him and make fun like he was like  you know you know come on man like pick one  

stock and ben never would and i really think we  need to start looking then at instead of the rnc  

and we need to really start finding candidates  that that we could cherry-pick that we could  

donate to there to them and not the rnc because  the rnc has truly let us down and well sorry  

the market performs the function of valuing the  security to the market in an extremely complicated  

way and they have tens of thousands maybe  hundreds of thousands of people working on it  

it would be awfully hard for the ordinary american  to do that but you might as well give it a try but  

uh i i i first of all thank you very very much for  those kind things you said a lot of fun doing the  

show and god bless all the people i was on with  uh i wonder i wonder i wonder i wonder what will  

it take once covert is done and once people don't  have to be hiding themselves behind mass and so on  

and once people can go back to work what will  it take people to realize a as robert and gary  

said that we have more government and b that is  the total fraud that america is a racist country  

that that giant fraud is what enabled mr  biden to be elected and what gave us a  

democrat congress at least for two years that  is once we realize that that is a giant fraud  

then it seems to me we have  a real chance of turning back  

and going along with the greatness of america  also i think and i'll let rock get in on this  

we have the data now that the russian thing  was a hoax with the bounties on the troops  

and we know for sure there are going to be six or  seven other stories that come out in the next year  

that were absolute hoaxes that were perpetrated  on the president from dominion machines to the  

mail-in ballots to a lot of other things and  i can guarantee you the independent voter  

in this country rob is going to start looking at  this stuff especially people like fauci and and  

and listen and and i pray they start looking  at this going what the hell did we listen to  

well real quick i wanted to say my  grandparents who are now no longer with  

us had two favorites on fox news with cavuto  one my grandmother loved wayne rogers and she  

said he's a millionaire listen to him and my  grandfather loved ben stein so those were my two  

grandma and grandpa kendall love wayne  rogers and ben stein you're very kind  

so when do people wake up right because it always  seems like throughout american history certainly  

recently that's why i have the pendulum of  republicans and democrats back and forth because  

people usually hate both sides equally and they  realize these people can't solve the problems  

they go to these people these people don't solve  as they go to these people at what point does the  

average person does the suburban soccer mom  wake up and go holy smokes we've because of  

our own guilt in many cases unleashed a bunch of  lunatics on this country i don't know when that is  

lunatics and losers gary knows a lot about  soccer mom so gary can you answer that question

oh boy we don't open that can of worms but  um i agree there what what it is i call it  

there's muscle memory in america too and what  we're seeing is a large part of the population  

has muscle memory of indoctrination repetitive  tasks done over and over and over again you see  

it it's groundhog day for most americans um they  do the same thing they wake up the same time they  

have the same cup of coffee they watch the same  news program they believe everything they're told  

and i think part of it is a loss of also that  having a lack of a moral conscious is okay it's  

not okay and they think because their politicians  do it because big business does it that it's okay  

for them to do it too and them to act that  way and that's what i mean by its repetition  

repetition repetition this country was built  upon the foundation of freedom of the individual  

now what we're seeing is the  mindset of a broken collective  

that's the problem they don't understand  individual freedom they don't and most americans  

don't understand it either because they're part  of this ridiculously stupid collective that makes  

absolutely no sense the biggest problem they  don't think for themselves they don't understand  

how to be an individual and act on their  own behalf of protecting their own freedom  

they don't get it they don't understand it just  give me my starbucks give me my walmart give me  

my [ __ ] on my front porch from amazon every  day that i don't need that's all i care about  

and my 24 pack of hot pockets that's all i  care about don't mess with anything else so  

i mean that's what we're seeing we're we're seeing  rome that's what we're seeing well if that's true

very really serious trouble and that that's really  really scary i i hate to say that that's that's  

terrifying i mean that is not the way my wife and  i live our lives and uh i have very close friends  

from all all over the world some from the far east  some from uh the northern northern midwest and uh  

from all over the country and i don't think they  say see the world quite that way either i think  

that they see the world as a place to be that  challenges them and they have to exert their  

maximum muscle memory and their brain to overcome  and uh they and we have what we have overcomers  

we have faced terrible problems as governor before  the civil war was a far worse problem than this it  

wasn't really a civil war of the war between the  states so it was a far worse problem than what  

we're going on now and abraham lincoln was the  far worst suppressor of basic human liberties than  

abide in the neighbors democrats but we need to  teach americans this basic idea and i guess i'm  

the only one old enough to remember this we were  taught to be incredibly proud of being americans  

my sister and i went to this waterfall elementary  school called parkside elementary school  

we were taught to be incredibly proud that  we were americans and we were the luckiest  

most blessed people in the world by being in  the united states of america and that we had  

problems absolutely but that we would fight  and fight and fight to make things better  

why what it was the communists i think who  started to teaching faculty to teach children no  

america is a racist swamp and somehow that  idea got across and somehow that has to be  

turned around and i think even ordinary citizens  like us are doing our little best to do it i mean  

we're so we're so lucky we have this forum to be  able to do we thank judah for making it possible  

for arranging for making it happen uh it's  incredible we're incredibly lucky we can do it  

just if we can get across to americans  in general that there used to be terrible  

horrible disgusting slavery in this country and  that it was uh it was eradicated by the blood  

of five or six hundred thousand american  white men who gave their lives to end slavery  

and if we could get that idea across even that  would be a gigantic beginning and rehabilitating  

image of america in the brains of americans so  you raise you raise both everybody's just raised  

amazing points tonight and um i could we could go  on about this forever but i think when you know we  

have this immigration crisis that's going on we're  gonna have an inflation we might have an inflation  

crisis that goes on everything is more expensive  at the stores cases of soda have gone up two  

dollars everything has gone up and you've noticed  it when you're shopping gas everything and i think  

when people really start to look at what we're  doing with these spending bills how how nobody  

when they talk about infrastructure and you have  a million bridges to nowhere i think people will  

start to get fed up and say you know what enough  of this um this uh propaganda enough of this  

all this park about right enough of this stuff  rob and people are going to be like i'm hungry  

i can't afford this you know screw you and  your your messaging this is enough yeah i think  

if we start getting a big dose of inflation and  people realize that the government is behind it  

that's going to help i'm sorry rob go ahead well  i i was just going to say people are seeing it  

right now they don't even know they're seeing it  i don't know how the real estate market is where  

you guys are at but houses here in central indiana  are selling for astronomical numbers like in some  

cases hundred a hundred thousand dollars  above what the assessed value of a home is  

and if you're trying to buy a home right now it's  incredibly difficult because you can't get a loan  

for the price of the home which means you have  to bring a huge portion of cash to the closing  

because the prices are going for such a ridiculous  amount and i was talking to a realtor the other  

day and she was saying people are starting to feel  it they don't know why they're feeling it but they  

know they're feeling it right here in this very  specific area of the economy and people are going  

to start feeling it in other areas it's just math  in in in food prices in terms of entertainment  

whatever it is unfortunately people have to feel  pain before they wake up and realize wow this this  

isn't a very good path that we're on and then mr  mrs pelosi and mr schumer and mr biden and mrs  

harris are just pouring gasoline on the fire as  if there were no end of money and inflation can't  

happen i mean that i'm old i'm older than all of  you guys i've seen it happen before no there's no  

problem until suddenly it explodes and i've told  you before you're not ruled you're just elderly  

um uh yeah come on laughs uh gary um last thoughts  yeah i'm in the same area i'm in an area that is  

uh i'm in the poorest county of washington  and traditionally this is a property market  

that does not go up period it's pretty flat line  there's not a lot of jobs here not a lot of money  

and it is out of control we had six houses for  sale in the entire county on friday according to  

a friend of mine idaho as ben knows being  uh someone who knows sandpoint that idaho  

is even way more out of control than in montana  they're buying land sight unseen and not knowing  

you can't build on it you dummy and people are  putting they are putting money down to contractors  

to build a house three years out i'm gonna give  you a very good warning people you never give a  

contractor money to build a house three years from  now you're never going to see that money again or  

a house so don't do it i'm not a contractor i  mean i love how somebody thinks about when i  

think because somebody in the chat said i live  in ben's garage i'm not living in ben's garage  

nor am i high nor if i was in ben's house would he  allow me to get i mean i don't know where that but  

thank you for thinking that highly of me  uh i'm in the air out as an indoor forest
