But part of that is because we pay our people so much more. There are people without arms and legs who can't get prosthetics because the Va. Is that screwed up?
Ever feel like the news leaves you with more questions than answers? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman, joined by Gary Collins and Remso Martinez, tackle some heavy topics. They start by reflecting on recent events in Kabul and the US-Mexico border, highlighting the chaos in America's inner cities. But the main focus is on ISIS-K.
Ben expresses disbelief that this group, once dismissed by the Obama administration, still poses a significant threat. Remso dives into the origins of ISIS-K, shedding light on key figures like Al-Zarqawi. However, there's confusion about who the US is actually targeting, with mixed messages from various government bodies. The discussion then shifts to how the media shapes public opinion about ISIS-K.
Judah argues that many people are unaware of the group's true nature and danger, while Ben points out that the media often downplays these threats to push political agendas. But it's not all about ISIS-K. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Ben and Remso discuss the struggles faced by veterans, especially those who need prosthetics but can't get them through the VA. Ben is visibly upset by the lack of support for veterans and calls for more government assistance.
He also emphasizes the need for empathy and compassion in political discussions, reflecting on Jesse Jackson's current battle with COVID-19. Ben wraps up the episode with a call to action, urging listeners to subscribe to his newsletter and tune in for more episodes. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and insights, offering a deep dive into ISIS-K's threat, media influence, and the urgent need for better veteran support.
