There's no limit to how much we should praise these guys and the idea that the bolsheviks who are running this country right now cannot bring themselves to praise the men and women in uniform who keep us alive, whether they're in the military or in the police or some other brand of law enforcement, but instead dump on them, rip them all day long just because they're trying to protect our lives.
What happens when a rock musician dives into the murky waters of political controversy? In this episode of 'The World According To Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman welcome John Ondrasik from Five For Fighting to discuss his new song, 'Blood On My Hands'. The song is a poignant reflection on the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and John doesn't hold back on his views.
But that's not all—he also treats listeners to live performances of 'Blood On My Hands' and his classic hit 'Superman'. John shares his journey, expressing gratitude for his success despite not fitting the typical rock star mold. The conversation takes a deep dive into the impact of tribalism in America and the often overlooked silent majority.
Ben Stein adds his perspective, highlighting the sacrifices made by soldiers and law enforcement officers, and questioning why they don't receive the praise they deserve. The episode also touches on the role of media in shaping public opinion and introduces a surprising new topic for Ben—animal cruelty. With its blend of music, heartfelt discussion, and critical analysis, this episode promises to be both engaging and thought-provoking.
If you're curious about the intersection of music and politics, or simply want to hear some great live performances, this episode is a must-listen.
