Can We Navigate the Current Crisis Without Chaos? Ben Stein and Guests Weigh In
Sometimes I think life is just, but it's just a rodeo.
Ever feel like the world is teetering on the edge of chaos? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and his co-host Judah Friedman are joined by Gary Collins from SimpleLifeNow.com and Rob Kendall from WIBC's Mock 'n' Rob show. Together, they tackle the burning question: Can the current crisis end civilly?
The discussion is anything but dull, ranging from the recent spate of high-end store looting to the pervasive belief that luxury items define our worth. They also dig into how institutions manipulate public perception and why it's crucial to see through the media's smoke and mirrors. Ben, with his economist's lens, highlights the importance of staying informed and not letting complacency allow far-left ideologies to seep into every corner of society.
Amidst the heavy topics, there's a sprinkle of nostalgia as they reminisce about John Hughes' films and how much has changed in just three decades. But it's not all doom and gloom. The conversation shifts to hope and the importance of maintaining civil discourse. Ben shares a heartfelt moment, expressing gratitude for his wife and his life, likening it to a rodeo—wild but worth enjoying.
