Who's Running The Country, Anyone? Anyone? The confusion around vaccinations, to the shading of the police by this regime.
okay
we are live oh great great good for you good for you good for you
god bless you figured that out i don't know what happened and i want to welcome
i want to welcome everybody to the world according to that man benjamin jeremy
stein and of course we're
joined tonight with some technical difficulties we're joined tonight from 931 wibc bam
and we have still have that echo issue and um you heard that again rob didn't you i heard
it we'll make it work though it's all right something's going on with ben's microphone
but we will make it work the microphone will just use the microphone on the computer we did
okay here's the thing ben you gotta move a little closer to your computer okay you look beautiful
thank you but but of course this show wouldn't be complete without actor writer saints in her
love or father uh that doctor doctor doctor yogurt aficionado yes and herbal tea herbal tea
um and let me know if you're still hearing that echo rob because i i i wouldn't know what to do
at this point um we will have a but i think that's what's what sort of makes us different and what
separates us is how unprofessional we truly are and it's what makes us lovable with the people
out there it's what uh people are attracted to us it's why so many people have been downloading this
podcast thank you everybody for all the downloads we are humbled we are touched we are in your debt
um overwhelmed we are overwhelmed we are truly overwhelmed by the by the overworld support
and um i don't want to welcome everybody to the world according to ben stein like i said rob
kendall from 1931 ben stein america's humble servant remember everybody go to rumble.com
also apple podcast and of course ben the most important ben stein's email benstein.substance.com
ben stein at the american spectator don't forget that spectator.org i always get to that ben right
off the bat i want to get into something because it's really bothering me this thing they're
calling the january 6 commission that they want to put together or oh i've seen about that that's
crazy or as i call it the january 6th crucifixion ben stein oh very good and i'm thinking to myself
of all the things for the last year they want to do a commission on of course it's one more
chance to stomp on not just trump's neck the but the neck of his voters they just want to
absolutely make us kneel into absolute submission ben stein um kevin mccarthy says he's not on
board at least it i want to get into something else but so kevin mccarthy's not on board but
this idea that they're going to have a commission about january 6th it's just comical i mean i mean
what is there what is there to know it was all videotaped it was all there it was all there it is
as if there was any kind of secret conspiracy like 911 or like the assassination of john f kennedy
uh what what is there to learn as you say it's just an opportunity to let the media crucify
trump and crucify his followers again why why are they so fuc why are they so [ __ ] afraid of trump
you know you raise the greatest question right i i think i know why i think i know
because i think he is the first president in a long time who has tapped into the actual thoughts
and heart of america and i'm not into the heart thoughts and heart of the media and the
beautiful people but into the heart of america and you wouldn't think he would he's a rich man
lives a rich man's life uh but somehow he's tapped into the heart of the heart of america
what are your thoughts on that rob it's really interesting right people are starting to wake up
to the fact that like i don't know where it is how it is where you guys are but there the governor
came out with a report today that said there's a hundred and sixteen thousand jobs in the state
of indiana that employers are looking for yeah all over the country it's rob it's all over the
country it's all over the country they cannot fill these jobs right the people are starting
to wake up and now these guys they're realizing the government has created this absolute disaster
there's fires all over the place and i think and i'm a little surprised but i think people it's
quicker than i expected are beginning to realize this presidency is a disaster and they need to
spend their time solving these problems not worried about the guy that used to be president
well i think that well i i wouldn't say it's a let me make a tiny bit more complicated than that
i think what we're seeing is that the plans that trump put into effect before he left office
uh have worked so fantastically that there's been such a big boom that that there's now a
terrible shortage of workers but then for the unfor the democrats are now making that far
worse by uh paying people to stay home and so unless you're in a rather special circumstance
you make more money just staying home and watching tv or doing whatever you're doing at home then you
would going to work so we are now in a situation where we are paying people to be idle and there's
shortages of car searches and electronics uh the shortages of automobiles i understand is
quite intense i see shortages even a fish at the grocery store as i've said many many times i do
the shopping most of the shopping today my very friend good friend jeff bought us some fish but
uh we i do most of the shopping i see shortages even officially used to be in great abundance
a few months ago there's a tremendous shortage of workers because we have tremendous prosperity and
the shortages compound by bribing people to not work yeah it's really interesting here in indiana
there's very little that our governor does that i agree with but he finally said we're done with
the federal unemployment because the federal unemployment is bribing people not to work
and look i'm not naive a lot of his donor buddies said we need workers and we can't find them
you got to cut this off at the pass so these people go back to work but look i mean there's
problems all over this country right the the border is a disaster you got the the the gas
issue which is a disaster i mean there's very the middle east is on fire as we've talked about
and yet they're still focused on trump and i think that's going to rub a lot of these
people in the middle the wrong way you're there to solve problems you just keep creating problems
and you're not investigating actual problems it's like that's the thing in the middle east is a
real serious problem because what is happening is that because of the media's wickedness they
are stirring it up into an anti-semitic cauldron and i was just being visited today by a charming
person and friend from the midwest who said that in the midwest and the rural communities they're
all being uh brainwashed into thinking that it's some kind of jewish conspiracy but of course
the data is absolutely clear-cut that the arabs the palestinians
started this whole thing with the rocket attacks there there was no a starting attack by the jews
they started a rocket attack following gigantic stones throwing and shooting at the
israeli defense forces and somehow the media has transformed that into israeli killing of innocent
palestinian children the israelis would be happy to stop and never fire another shot ever again
it's the palestinians are always starting it this was actually going to be my next segment because
the white house came out and said that what trump brought really wasn't peace to the middle east
and i'm like thinking to myself i mean i get that you could say something but here's where
in lies the major problem is that when nobody's questioning what you're saying you're right
the white house could say if you're on the left you could essentially say whatever the hell it
is you want if facts don't matter science doesn't matter nothing matters because nobody calls you
out on it and that's where we are as a society there are no gatekeepers there are zeros
sorry go ahead i'm sorry go ahead please there's a wonderful scene a terrifying scene in a very
very fine german movie i don't know i think it's a german movie called downfall about the
last days of adolf hitler it's with bruno gans it's a great movie yeah it's a great movie very
very scary upsetting movie and at one point uh ava brown who is hitler's girlfriend uh uh
is being told by her brother or maybe it's her brother-in-law you must leave germany hitler
you have to leave you're going to die you're going to get killed hitler is making a mistake staying
here you've got to leave and she looks at him evan brown looks at her brother or maybe it's about her
brother-in-law and says but he's the fuhrer he can't be wrong he's the fuhrer and that's how it
is with the media and the democrats if they're the democrats they can't be wrong and they're
that's how the media sees it whereas if they're the trump people they can't be right
no and and and robin we were discussing this because there's so many different nuances and
things that we're going to delve into tonight because they're so i brought this up the other
night there's so much there's so much [ __ ] out there that it's almost like nobody could focus
on one on one piece right it it it's almost like smoke and mirrors so much distraction over what's
going on kamala harris hasn't been to the border in 55 days she's supposed to be in charge of she's
excuse me she's in charge of the border there's so much going on by i mean it's it's rob it's
almost too it's sensory overload what they're doing to us sensory sensory fight problems
the media just will not play a constructive role they refuse to play a constructive role
the the problem the problem ben can speak to this is voters are motivated by how things impact them
right yes the borders bad but they don't really personally experience the border would not do
yes not yet not yet right but what they do experience is that when they go to wendy's
and it's a 30 minute wait to get into the restaurant or go through the drive-through
they do recognize that which is why i think the worker shortage is such a big deal because i've
seen many many people start posting about this on what the hell is going on out there
and they're starting to realize gee bribing people not to work for the past year plus
might not have been a great idea and now this child tax credit thing on top of it is really
pissing people off yeah and of course the people who have it in them to work will work anyway
there's a certain kind of person who just doesn't have it in him or her to work and
if the government makes it easy to make pay your bills without working those people will not work
but it's very very sad but there are such people in this country there are quite a few of them
there are quite a few of them in every country as far as i know so pretty much but i want to i want
to get back to something quickly sir we've and rob we've just discussed pretty much five things
that are are getting zero zero media attraction i mean i don't even know what they are the wall
street journal has written about this okay ben ben it's the you're bringing up one publication
out of the bill you know out of the thousands one publication is talking about a certain thing
and even that one publication isn't what that one publication used to be we all could you can see
the wall street journal isn't the conservative beacon that at one point it was they were on
i'm referring to the front section sir where people actually see the first you know you
know the first few pages that people read became very anti uh the trump base it was it was they
they were not exactly on board but on that note sorry if you just tuned in you are listening to
the world according to that man benjamin jeremy stein i want to thank everybody that's watching
in the youtube channel sorry that bruno gans from that movie just died oh i didn't even know that
i didn't know that either somebody said it in the youtube chat and uh he was so scarily good in that
movie yeah he was he was terrific i think he might have been nominated i i he was absolutely terrific
um remind everybody go to rumble.com catch our latest episodes even the ones you've just seen
it'll help us a lot give us a rumble go to a apple podcast or wherever you're streaming give us a
good review and of course ben stein um welcome back to the world according to ben stein we're
joined tonight by rob kendall as always from 931 wibc bam the president and future of conservative
talk radio you know people listen i know you guys love bongino rob kendall is the man okay rob is
screwed you know vangino rob kendall we got okay the best and of course i happen to love bronzino
why why are we talking about bronzino um bon gino but that's very funny and of course ben was on
good morning america this morning introducing um uh i was on them and also on newsmax
oh you did that's great and i think gma is pretty big too you know and people still wanting to hear
the bueller thing but i want to welcome everybody back like i said so i want to get back real quick
real quick jude i didn't mean to cut you off but ben stein will be on the mock and rob show
tomorrow at 10 15 eastern yes he will and and for everybody to know we will be for if you decide
to stay an extra 15 minutes we will be recording that special we're gonna post that on rumble too
but welcome back um i want to get to something uh you're referring to um franklin graham
came out and said something and and i was reading this story sir about israel too
about how they they they don't know how to handle the media and and franklin graham
said the same thing about trump that even he thinks that trump didn't handle the media and
and i'm thinking myself i love franklin graham your father was your father was a great man but
sometimes you don't understand certain things no matter and a lot of people don't understand this
no matter how much you capitulate no matter what you try to do the media hates us
there's no there's no bowing or begging if israel would have done this differently or if trump
would have done that differently they wanted blood when it comes to israel they want blood
when it comes to christians they want blood and when it comes to trump supporters they want
blood when it comes to unborn babies and when it comes to unborn babies there's nothing you can do
that would make it that the media would write a different narrative there's nothing that could be
done so why even try that can't be your your that can't be how you treat this disease which is the
media ben what it has to be is is is is i don't know that i will let you speak i i would i would
like to say if i may i am the oldest of us all by quite a bit and i saw this happen with nixon
and nixon tried and tried and tried to be friendly than me they had lots of press conferences he took
a lot of questions he would have enormous press conferences not just little press conferences in
the press room he would have enormous giant press conferences in the east rim of the white house
they went after him tooth and nail anyway there is where they are the jackal pack i think it was
i'm not sure whether it was pat buchanan or bill sapphire who called him that but the jack
when the jackal pack went after him there was just no stop him but he could reach the voters
he won the largest electoral majority electoral landslide there had ever been in 1972 he could
reach the voters but then the media could leapfrog over the voters and tar and veteran and slam him
for doing nothing and they did the same thing to trump if you look back on the four trump years
he didn't do anything wrong and yet now you have to apologize for being a trump supporter of trump
fan but he didn't do anything wrong it's just complete media hype and complete media sliming
that is is going on here it's just it shocks the conscience and yet that's the way it is
rob kendall i always wondered why trump did as much media availability as he did because
everything he liked he likes attention yeah but every time he did it they took you know they
would never report on the good stuff they take the one thing they wanted i know i know always
always always always and in a weird way trump got super punished for being the most transparent
president we've probably ever seen yes well nixon was quite transparent too but uh nixon
gave it back to them and uh and of course they all acted like uh nixon was a terrible terrible guy
and nixon was an incredible president i'm writing a book right now about nixon and me and uh it's a
very inconsequential book to everyone except those of us who love nixon uh but i i i was coming i was
going through my files of the speeches i wrote for nixon messages messages and one was the first
comprehensive national energy conservation plan nobody ever gives him credit for that the first
universal health plan proposed by the president of the congress nobody ever gives him credit for that
ending not just reducing ending school segregation in the deep south nobody ever gives him credit for
that same with trump he accomplished miracles saving israel saving israel especially
for israel he gets no credit for that especially from the jews from us jews ben i have a question
yes what nixon was a republican but he wasn't a right-wing grenade thrower why did the media
hate nixon so much you saw it from the inside why did why did nixon perceive that the media hated
they hated him one because he did not come from the upper ivy league a privileged beautiful people
class and they resented very much the fact that he had become so successful anyway two
because he had gone after a state department trader named alger hiss
and he had exposed alger hiss as being a soviet spy and uh but aldress was a fair-haired boy of
the media and of the beautiful people in the east and in los angeles and hollywood
and they never could i'm sorry forgive nixon for exposing alger his but alger hiss
actually was a soviet spy responsible for his by his leaks to the soviets for starting the korean
war and the media could never forgive him for that and they leapt all over him in every way
and denounced him and then when he bounced back after having been robbed of the election in 1960
it won and 68 the media just couldn't believe it's like they couldn't believe that trump had won and
they went after him tooth and nail and when he won an enormous landslide in 72 they just went berserk
for nothing even now look it's it's 50 years after watergate still nobody can tell you what happened
and you know what i love about this show more than anything rob you get to ask a question and
get a first-hand response of a person that was there while this was going on and not him he was
there his father was there um and i want to tell a really cool story at the end of the show for
ben's dad as israel is going through what they're going through so don't let me forget because it's
ben tells me stories about his father and for people that don't know who ben's father is i beg
you to google him he's a true he's a true american hero and a true israeli hero and when ben tells me
stories about what his father did i get the chills and i actually get the chills just thinking about
them god bless you and somebody raised them real real quick jude i didn't mean to cut you off but
this is forrest gump where he sees the the break-in ben is like you always call him the
genius gump and it's so true because like ben experienced the things that we move you're like
wow wouldn't that have been cool to be there yeah i know it's insane but i want to tell this
story and i don't want to tell a story somebody in the chat brought up a good point and it's
listen four and a half years ago when trump was running ben was not a trump supporter okay he was
a lindsey graham supporter he loved lindsey graham he spoke some ill words of donald trump but on the
same token ben did have some dealings with donald trump but i could tell you since day one of trump
being in office there has been no bigger supporter there is nobody that said more than my lifetime
there's at an economist that has said i was wrong about a lot of things that i thought to be the
truth in law like ben stein and that's what makes ben stein your absolute greatest so yes four and
a half years ago there's video of ben saying and i i gotta tell you i was on that ride home with him
afterwards and it was a very uncomfortable ride because i was very upset with the way ben but 90
days into the trump administration i'll never forget this 100 days in he was on a panel with
your former boss gergen and somebody else and they had said this is the fir the worst first hundred
days of of a person's office and ben's like so this is worse than the civil war and um it was it
was the perfect response and since pretty much day one there's been no bigger defender of the trump
movement and donald trump than ben stein so yes we all have had opinions of people that could change
that's what's called life and that's what this show is about is about discourse and realizing
sometimes that we were wrong and it's okay to admit you were wrong so i hope that answers that
question i want to get more back back more into this media thing um we we have a media right now
that i heard god felt ben say this years ago he doesn't think we could have won world war ii if
social media was out there and i truly don't bel and i i don't the what the social media is doing
and we've discussed this within regards to israel and with the social media we have rasheeda talib
who who who who who literally my sis somebody i know very i'm very close to called her just in
you know looks at her and she said she's as ugly as the insider she is in the outside she is joe
biden now capitulating that's how strong i know he's praised her today he praised her today i know
unbelievable i mean an absolute anti-semite is getting anti-semite that you know there are lots
of anti-semites out there she's anti-american that's the main problem yeah people are allowed
to be anti-semites that's that's history that's fine that's i mean i don't like it but it's fun
but she's an american congresswoman and she's an anti-american that's what's so terrible
right i mean no no it's frightening that we have right now in the house so many people rob that are
that are that are anti-american that are anti the people that we've saved people like elon
omar who we saved from from from inevitable rape inevitable death and they come here and they have
zero freaking gratitude does not one person in the democrat party have enough balls to walk up
to elon omar and say where the [ __ ] is your gratitude you'd be dead if not for this great
country nobody nobody said i'm sorry go ahead rob sorry well i was just gonna say judas judah you
know it's it's interesting because those peop some of the people you've mentioned could only
have succeeded in america i mean it we got into this with the critical race theory stuff over the
videos that they teach these kids and they teach these young people they hate this country
when in fact that they created this wonderful system of governance and the ability where you if
you believe it and you dream it and you're willing to work for it you can do whatever you want to do
and yet we're led to believe that america is this awful place but we're littered unlike any country
in the history of the world of people who have made themselves great and would not have been
able to do it anywhere else absolutely right i mean it's gonna be i've said this before and i'll
say it again gladstone the great great english statesman said that the american constitution
was the greatest document ever stressed achievement of the human mind and hand of all time
glance and british statesmen very very high order of magnitude of intelligence
we never hear anything like that when the democrats in the house of representatives
are in the senate where is their gratitude where is their gratitude for living in america i go
shopping almost every night not every night but almost every night and walk up and down the aisles
of the grocery store i'm in tears of gratitude this is a free country they're not going to arrest
me for being a jew or for being a republican at least not yet i hope and and there's so much food
there's so many friendly smiling people this is such a great place where is the gratitude
now you you raise an incredible point and you great you raise a point where uh growing up in
an observant jewish home i was taught about how you know the the the connection between america
and israel i was taught how much is america did for israel and the gratitude that i should have
for this great country for for what they did you know and i knew that that many of my people would
be would have been slaughtered again like sheep if it not been for america for people like sadly i
didn't i didn't get the education until ben stein about how much richard nixon did the best friend
not only that israel ever had but that the jewish people have ever had the jewish religion
is approximately 6 000 years old there's never been a better family of jews than richard nixon
ever i want to tell you robin i want to i think what i think sometimes is the bigger problem and
we've spoken about this that the silent majority has to get louder okay we've spoken about this and
there are more people that believe in god and country or the universe and country
and righteousness then don't and it really rob has to become our job when people are spewing vile
stuff about our country and who we are and who our allies are we have to rob stand up to them and say
shut the you don't know what the hell you're talking about yeah and it and it works a lot
of times and i don't know why people don't do it more often it's like i don't know how it is where
you guys are out there but there's a big push in central indiana now by a large group of parents
throughout many school districts to defeat this critical race theory stuff they know that they're
teaching that in indiana rather oh yeah they keep saying they're not teaching it but it's it's all
the tenets of critical race theory they just say well we're not teaching it but in reality
it's you know the sel it's all of it and the point is the parents here in all these different
school districts have gotten loud they said we see you we know what you're doing we're going
to fight you and then we're going to kick your ass in the next school board elections and take
our public schools back when people stand up it's why trump got elected people in michigan and ohio
and pennsylvania and wisconsin who had never not stood up for themselves in a very long time said
we're taking our country back and i don't know why people don't do it more often because it
works when people do it and i'm going to get into why i think that is after this next segment after
this brief break but if you just tuned in you are listening to the world according to that
man benjamin jeremy stein and i consider it an honor and a privilege to do this um people
just love the podcast we have had such a great reception such a great reaction we are humbled
we thank you sorry for some of the cursing tonight i know it offends some of you but sometimes
we sometimes i just don't know what else or how else to say it's a papa kendall i'm sorry i know
your father probably isn't into the cursing he hires all the time judah he swears all the time
okay good thank you i don't want to welcome you remind you benstein.substance.com and of course um
apple podcasts and everywhere podcasts you can download them and of course you can find
bennettspectator.org and rob every day at 931 wibc bam the future of conservative talk radio um
but i want to get into what we're discussing because it all comes to leaders so when trump
was there the movement the base fought back right we we we we had developed parlor we had developed
certain things where we had this thing to fight back right now and i brought this up before the
show ben's time with rob when when when the first hearing started with trump the democrats
republicans held the house in the senate um with russiagate yes could i have some aspirin please 5.
he needs his aspirin now all right as soon as you mention the congress i get ahead no no but
ben so so but so so they get they all of a sudden we get russiagate when they have the
hat when republicans have the house and the senate we allow this to happen when they have
the house and when they have the house they get impeachment where in god's name are republicans
doing commissions on voting regularities um notice how i said regularities youtube i didn't
say anything else where are the commissions on um how this damn virus got into the country
where it came from where are the commissions that lindsey graham promised us for god knows how long
on air biden's son where and and and here's the problem we have no leaders ben because we don't
have we don't have adequate leaders but where are the where are the commissions on why is
chicago the murder capital of the industrial world where there's a commission on that
no you raise a great question where are any of the commissions rob kendall and this is the problem
people have with the gop and when i say gop i mean the grand old party
and republicans people look at them and they and they're like what are you doing
yeah that's the problem every time you give these guys power the republicans are great when
they're in the opposition they stink they stink in terms of actual governance and that's the problem
you keep going back to these people either because they sell you a load of bull crap that you go okay
well this is the eighth time they can't lie to me eight times in a row or the democrats are so bad
and the problem is dating back to 1994 every time you give them an ounce of power they lie
and they just become the party of big government again it's just their buddies who get emboldened
instead of the democrats and it's just it's it's horrible because we need viable opposition to the
democrats but we don't have but we don't have it so we we have to be a teeny tiny atom in the
universe of opposition and we have to stand up and say something wicked this way comes and uh it's
led by a hologram named joe biden and a i don't know how to describe her name tomorrow harris
you know somebody actually um what is our pro are we what we're having a youtube issue
i'm not exactly sure what it is um but i apologize for people in the chat room i'm not sure
or we're all still here right we're all still hearing each other i'm still i'm not exactly sure
um what why people are losing the feed but so you you guys keep talking and i want to
figure this out but somebody brought up a point beforehand which was as i missed trey gowdy
i love trey gowdy he was very tough during the hearings i didn't really follow through quite
as much as i would like him to but he was very very good now my granddaughter and son
and the former grand former daughter-in-law a simply staggeringly beautiful young woman
uh is they live in south carolina they're uh and i think one of them is about to move to the hometown
of mr graham and i hope to go visit her there and see mr graham uh he he talks and i'll be
a good game i wish he could get more done but i like him a lot and i really love trey gowdy a lot
yeah it's funny rob you have to be sometimes be careful what you um what you wish for because
as much as i didn't like the job trade gowdy didn't get accomplished at least trey gowdy was
a shark he was he was a shark trey gowdy's awesome because he's on a whole bunch of old episodes of
forensic files he was a prosecuting attorney i've seen him he's great he's great i love seeing those
and we need more people to bring the heat is that show still on or has it been taken off because of
the political correctness oh it's on like uh the netflix still has it and okay great great
great great great oh yeah uh headline news still runs and oh yeah it's great old episode headline
news still runs it headline news wouldn't be a channel if not for forensic files that they've
done a forensic files too and but it's just not the same without that guy's voice peter thomas
yeah yeah i mean just the the pipes of an angel just angelic pipes but that's the question ben is
that and i and this is and we were discussing this the other night my biggest issue um with
you have like listen we know people have to make money we know people are in the business of making
money but for four years certain of our allies in the in the media from fox news certain people
pretty much gaslit the trump base into convincing them that every day there would be a new you know
there would be a new indictment you had john solomon you had all these different people in
there and never once was something brought to the table and i think that's people's
biggest struggle right now is we where where are the fighters in this movement
well we are we're here we are here we are and there's trey and there's lindsay and lindsey
doesn't fight quite as hard as we would like him to but he talks very well and he's a good he's a
good friend and we like him a lot and there will be others and i know judah will probably kill me
after the show but i like mitch mcconnell quite a lot i he's not fiery but i think he's really good
i love franklin graham i think he's wonderful i think he's going to do great things forever um so
they're they're around we have to hear more from them but they're around i'd like the governor of
florida very very much very very much i think he's going to we're going to hear great things from him
ben when you visit with lindsey graham do you guys like talk candidly about you know he has to know
could certain conservatives are you know just it's a love-hate relationship right now he doesn't know
me well enough to know enough about me to know anything about me all he knows is that i run into
him a couple of times in the greenville airport i am very impressed that he carries his own luggage
uh he knows that my son and granddaughter and former daughter and i'll live there
uh he knows that i'm a fairly substantial contributor to him and uh other other than
that i don't think he knows anything about me i guess he knows i'm republican he probably knows
what i've seen from ferris bueller i don't think he knows much about me at all but i am a supporter
because i would love to be able to get these politicians like candidly and like lindsey
graham because he was great during kavanaugh he was awesome yes he was fantastic during kavanaugh
and by the way and by the way we keep bringing getting back to this issue i've been around
watching congressional hearings for a long time a really long time i'm 76 i'm an old man and i've
been watching congressional hearings since i was five or six years old and i have never seen as
slimy an attack on a human being as i've see as i saw during the kavanaugh hearings and somehow
the people who did those completely got away with it nobody was prosecuted nobody was punished
that was a far worse attack on the capital than anything that happened on january 6th
or whatever was it january's until december 6th january 6 no no ben i mean you're talking about
a year of things that were or year and a half okay let's be real you're talking about four years of
something disgusting of absolute disgust that went that work that an insurrection or whatever
you want to call it how about a coup a a real life attempted coup it's right it was an attempt
at work but look who's president yeah no right of of of a presidency and they like to and they like
to um uh i mean it's just it's it's scary it's it's frightening um but right now we are in the
midst of of of actual of a hostile takeover by the left by this six seven percent of this squad rob
of of or as laura luma likes to call them the um hamas caucus
that that nobody that nobody has enough guts to stand up to these people why is that you
that why is that because if you stand up to them they will call you the worst word in
the english language which is a racist and i think we have to go back to them and say
we're the ones who've suffered from racism we know what racism you miss ocasio-cortez
don't know the first thing about it we do and we're telling you you're a liar a liar a liar
we were talking about that today on the show about how when you call everyone a racist it
loses its meaning and i don't i don't know when we get to that point but i'm hoping that's more
regular people not the people that are super political or involved in politics
are recognizing that that when you call everybody that that it does it just doesn't mean what it
what but it does drop i wish you were right but it does it's just like when they call call someone i
mean there was someone i forget who was some politician and he might have been a democrat
who was being called on the carpet for inviting a woman to lunch and he and he said oh no it was
kate says bill gates he's been being roasted for inviting a woman in his office to lunch by email
and saying if it makes it all uncomfortable to forget i haven't sent for inviting a lodge you're
going to invite her to a motelly invited lunch so you can call people sexist and go on racist i have
to start calling again it's like a schoolyard it's like calling people names in a schoolyard that's
that's what american politics have become and americans social life have become like
you see ben but the biggest problem that these people face like bill gates and and these people
that get attacked like cuomo the lack of sympathy that they have the lack of empathy
that they have when people like us are getting hit and they don't come to our defense like god
oh my god dude are you kidding are you kidding they're not going to have any empathy for people
no what my point being is so there's gonna be very little defense for them because the
one people they already gotten away with it cuomo's completely gotten away with it judah
he's completely gotten away with it he's he's not in trouble anymore he's completely gotten
away with it and bill gates will get away with this because he's fantastically rich
and cumber will get away with it because he's a leader of left-wing democrats they're all going
to get away with it's only us who don't get only we on the conservative side don't get away with it
no i mean you're completely right um and i'm very sorry for the technical difficulties i
have no idea what's going on with the youtube live stream maybe it has to do because rob wants to do
the interview with ben so badly that it's acting up on us i don't know what it is it's going to be
really choppy on youtube and of course on rumble i apologize for that um but on that note if you
just tuned in you are listening to the world according to ben stein if you could still hear us
i know it's a bit blurry i actually see a lot of people in the chat room right now so there we are
um but we're joined tonight from uh by bobby kendall do people call you bobby or just call
me whatever you want uh just don't call me shirley um and of course america's humble servant benjamin
jeremy stein um we've been discussing a lot tonight and um you know somebody said to us
before the show your friend from the midwest was asking us how devastating it is for us what's
going on in israel and i think um to get back to what she said what's more what's more hurtful i've
never seen the lack of support for israel the the amount of lack of support from americans
we have these pro-palestinian marches going on in the streets of new york city all across
america ben you have the social media stuff going on and i think i want to tell you something that's
one of the most heartbreaking things for me it's heartbreaking it's absolutely heartbreaking and
what's heartbreaking to me is that a number of the people who are marching against israel are
african-american and they of all people should know what it's like to suffer from racism and
they should know that what great friends and jews have been to them and it's just heartbreaking that
they're that they're that they're on the wrong side of this and it's heartbreaking that so many
young people are the wrong side but young people are almost always on the wrong side of everything
you know ben i used to i i i don't know i don't know if that's if that's the case anymore where
you know i i i social media has really changed the the the ability of social media to bully people
to put people in a corner to make people think and feel a certain way
has really changed i don't think children anymore have have any ability to to think critically
to think outside the box and to be different from their friends i think you may just have said a
mouthful it's very scary it's very very scary what are your thoughts on that rob well i we
were talking about this earlier today the the lack of critical thinking that people have i mean it's
like walmart comes out and says you don't wear a mask in the store anymore well in our state 40 of
the people have been fully vaccinated roughly and then we're talking about it today on the air and
when you take the people that are fully vaccinated and then the people who who've had it on top of
that you're looking at probably eighty percent of the population that he there has had it and has
the antibodies or has been fully vaccinated and yet when i went to walmart the other day
that have removed the mass policy it's still probably 70 percent of the people maybe 75
are wearing the mask it's just it's people aren't stopping and thinking about it and that means a
huge group of fully vaccinated people are still wearing the mask no i mean ben and ben and i think
we're discussing this before nobody knows what the hell is going on with you know what the policy is
somebody in the chat i i've never seen a chat some in the chat tell us what the policy is i don't
know no nobody knows why i'm going to pavilions they're very strict about me wearing a mask
right but target on the other hand has said that you do now don't need to wear a mask
but i don't know if california has adopted the state of you know the federal because you can't
federally this isn't federal stuff rob right it's state stuff trump made sure that he did
not federally mandate anything right but but the but the problem is they emboldened these governors
and mayors to do this because they kept letting fauchi run out there and spew bullcrap
fauci's first initial reaction on mass which was probably the real one was completely correct when
he said they're largely ineffective and you don't need them that was his initial reaction before it
got politicized and well that's what so i'm sorry i please i beg your pardon no no i just they
kept running this guy out of here who would change his mind as often as he changed his underwear
well what i like is that here we know those of us who have even the slightest bit of knowledge
of science are just a very slight bit know that a little teeny uh viral particle is so
tiny compared to the a mask the the apertures in the mask it might as well be a cannonball being
fired at your head and yet we're still told that a mask is effective it's scientifically comical i
i don't i don't know if i told this story but i had a um a loved one that was in the
hospital and they're fine now and it was a they had a surgical procedure but every time you'd
go into the hospital unless you had one of those surgical masks they would make you take it off and
they would give you a mask in order to enter the hospital and i was asking one of my buddies who
delivers uh medical equipment to hospitals i said why do they do that he said because the medical
people know those cloth masks are bull crap they don't do anything accomplish anything they're a
complete waste of time and space yet they're out there saying oh wear your mask you'll be fine
and people and people in malibu the style in malibu where i have a house is that you just wear
a bandana a hippie bandana you don't even wear a mask or a hippie bandana and so that's the thing
is it masks work fine there's not much evidence that they do which is why fauci said it in the
beginning that you didn't need a mask that's why the surgeon general under trump said initially
you didn't need a mask but you're just you're lying to people and you're deceiving them and
then people just tune you out when you actually have pertinent information but that's all we
i'm sorry to say i and again i'll go back to the fact that i'm so much older than either of you
the government largely is in the business of lying and deceiving
sorry to say that so are so are scientific experts i'm focused on the youtube rob so
talk because i know i dude i think your youtube may be okay i was watching it on my phone just a
moment ago and it looks fun to me it go it keeps on going in and out like and and you know what
it could just be simply that youtube is having their issues right now youtube could be down
youtube could be having streaming issues i don't want to get all larry claiming on youtube
yet just just just yet and i really do think um larry clayman should be a verb
um you know to not go all larry claiming on something but no that would be an adjective
is that an adjective or a verb
you got larry clayman would be a verb right but if to go all larry clayman would be that
would be well let's see we could use him as a verb as an as as an adjective
and but anyways i i i i think what we're discussing is it is this real frustration
that's going on in the in in in this country right now it's it's i'm very frustrated about it about
almost everything but i'm awfully awfully awfully glad that i happen to have as my wife the world's
finest human being let's be thankful for what's good in our lives i am married to a saint she's
beautiful she's intelligent she's forgiving she is the most kind saintly god-like person i've
ever known in my life if god is love then my wife is a big chunk of god and and i am so blessed and
i look at the world and i see how [ __ ] up it is partnering with my speech and then i think
a few feet away from me is the world's finest human being and my eyes brighten
see okay and that's beautiful and i know you believe it and it's extremely well said but i
want to get to something once again and i want to get to this mask thing and i brought this
up the other night rob kendall the rob kendall the the the the midterms are coming up very soon
they are coming up really soon i don't think they realized how quickly tr how good as ben
said the economy is strong because of trump but so is the vaccination process strong because of trump
and i don't think that they planned on this being i thought they i think they really thought they
could keep us in for another two years and all this back and forth is nothing more than keeping
us from having free and fair you know from people going to the polls live from the from from and
from certain things that wouldn't cause voter regularity rob yeah and and the the issue like
the red sox boston that you don't get any more blue than boston came out and said well starting
next week we're going to have full capacity at the red sox games and gillette stadium with the
patriots play is going to be full this fall you can only keep the lie up for so long and people
look around and see what happened in texas you know the rangers had a full stadium for opening
day there was no super spreader event at the super bowl in tampa it wasn't a super spreader event
people see these things and eventually they catch on you're lying to us you're deceiving us and
then the problem is that that it starts to topple over on itself because it's so easily disprovable
and people are only going to put up with it for for so long now you're completely right i
you know ben i think texas had its first day today they reported no covides which we don't even know
what that means anymore a coveted death or a knockout right right but it was it was the first
it was it was the first day and and remember they were considered they were called neanderthals ben
i know texas is often way ahead of the curve and by the way that someday some statistician is going
to go through the covet deaths and is going to find out that there are an awful lot of people who
died of things not related to government and the dakota deaths were greatly overseen don't get me
wrong it's a bad terrible thing awful evil thing terrible terrible thing but uh there's been a lot
of hanky bankers the statistics about that and yes let's go back to being fully open everywhere
and somebody brings up in the chat which is working right now that they're i i and and ben
knows this about me i have a really usually and so does rob i mean have a really good pulse we all do
have a real i mean so do you in the chat have a really good pulse on the midterms and i could be
honest with you i do not think i have a good point i i could be honest with you i do not either rob
i have no idea what the future what what what the midterms are gonna are gonna are gonna bring forth
but i do know one thing we have a better chance if the mass mandates are lifted
yes but the problem is a whole bunch of these republican governors like that
idiot in ohio completely bought into this and they do even more stupid stuff on top of that
like trying to say well we'll raffle away a million dollars if you get a vaccination
we're literally what about that woman in michigan for god's sake where did she come from
but but i don't know how the republicans get the high ground on this because they these governors
and mayors in some cases who are republican have been just as guilty as the democrats i agree and i
totally agree every everyone has strong detours it's not just that everybody's wronged the
kool-aid you used to have republican governors for the you really had some really strong republican
governors in the past and the republican governors were witnessing right now are i don't even want
to use the word rhino but they're spineless you know like rob's guy in indiana spineless
you have these people that are voted in sort of through the oligarchy of the state just being an
r and it's it's it's it's you're getting these spineless republicans who haven't fought back and
i love desantis you're right ben desantis is the and abbott are two of the best governors in the
country yeah i think desantis is fantastic and rob the question is why can't others follow their lead
what what is this even chrissy gnome on the trans stuff back down you know in south dakota and the
ncaa which is great news capitulated and said we're not going to move events the ncaa caved in
today or i don't want to say caved in they finally acted normally because what are they going to do
the states where the ncaa thrives tend to be republican states what are they going to do
move the games rob to like san francisco because the issue is and this is why the media in part
hated trump so much and i think it was rush who initially pointed this out the media didn't make
trump so they couldn't break him only trump could make break the bond with his voters and so many
of these republicans man they buy into this idea that they have to be liked by the media that they
have to be liked by people who are going to vote for them no matter what they do and so they're
weak they're brutally weak and the the front runner for the republican nomination for president
right now is not even close is ron desantis his people we love him because we love him
they're looking for leadership people who are real they're looking for people
who are going to be honest with them and ron desantis has been that and so many of these
weak establishment republicans like this loser holcomb that we have here in indiana they just
they don't get it they don't care they're not strong enough they don't have the ability to fight
i like santa's a lot i like trump better but we're very lucky we have desantis and i we're very lucky
because our florida estate which i think is a bellwether for the nation but as to the midterms
i don't know either i'm just terrified of what has happened because we've become media wise a
one-party state and that is very scary we've become i mean you just you you just said then
and it's so true and it's so frightening this this it's more than just being a one media state
it's being a one media government yes yes yes yes yes yes yes we are being run by the media
and that is frightening ben the other day i mean this is so glossed over and nobody's
talking about it rob you're a reporter a guy a person that wrote over 50 stories for saying
yeah about the tweeting about you know about landing his tweets by saying hitler yeah and
saying the world needs more hitler's and and saying all that stuff rob did you see that yeah
yeah and and that and and and nothing nothing and i'm not gonna say it wasn't even on the front
page of the new york times or the wall street journal it was incredible yeah it was absolutely
incredible we're running out of time um what i'm going to do because i want to get this interview
for rob's show is i am going to end the live stream and then i am going to try to redo the live
stream so that way and we'll see if rob could pull it like that so i want to thank everybody that's
