Ben Stein on America's Legitimacy Crisis: Media, Trials, and Politics
When we talk about the country being a total mess, it is. This is the same one where the Cnn reporter was out front with the Chyron saying fiery, fiery, but mostly peaceful protests, as literally the city was burning up behind him. We're going to use those in the future, I mean, and I think it should have been made clear by the authorities in Kenosha and in Wisconsin generally, and federal authorities that we will borrow from the what was done in the mafia trials to protect the judge and jurors.
What happens when trust in institutions starts to crumble? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by Ken LaCorte and Ben Boychuk to tackle some of America's most pressing issues. They dive right into the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, highlighting the intense pressure on jurors from the media and public hysteria.
This isn't just about one case; it's a broader conversation about how media influence can shape justice and public perception. Kamala Harris's rocky tenure as vice-president also comes under the microscope. The hosts discuss her challenges and what they mean for the current administration. The episode doesn't shy away from controversy, especially when it touches on Biden's nominee for comptroller of the United States.
This nominee's past in the Soviet Union and accolades like the Lenin award raise eyebrows and questions about ideological leanings. The conversation is lively, unfiltered, and sure to make you rethink what you know about these topics. Ben and his guests bring a mix of humor and serious analysis, making complex issues accessible and engaging. Whether you're deeply invested in political discourse or just curious about current events, this episode offers a fresh perspective that's worth your time.
