The World According To Ben Stein
Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the two-tiered system of justice on full display in New York after a jury found former President Trump liable for defamation for merely defending himself against false allegations of rape. It’s clear there is nothing the Left will not destroy in pursuit of taking down President Trump. Plus, we discuss how the reparations buck did actually stop with California Governor Gavin Newsom – surprisingly – and we really do want our MTV.
