Ben Stein on Supreme Court Mysteries, Fracking, and National Security
Listen, it would just be The Average Day. But I wanted to ask you, Ben, something else that you said: because of banning fracking, banning of fracking, obviously right, but you bring up these things, these policies that they've put on people that have been extremely unconstitutional now and where we don't know the side effects, right, we have zero data, as you love to always use data.
Ever wondered what happens when the Supreme Court can't find a leaker? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by Newsweek contributing editor Peter Roff for a fascinating chat. They kick things off with the Supreme Court's baffling failure to identify the leaker of the Dobbs opinion. It's a head-scratcher that sets the tone for an episode packed with deep dives into pressing issues.
From there, the conversation zigzags through topics like fracking and its controversial ban in California, which Ben and Judah argue is unconstitutional. They also tackle the broader implications of Congress's control over interstate commerce and how it impacts the oil industry. But that's not all. The trio shifts gears to discuss the security of Israel, offering insights into why this topic remains crucial for American foreign policy.
And just when you think they've covered it all, they dive into the Biden administration's handling of classified information leaks and the ongoing Hunter Biden controversy. With their unique blend of expertise and candid discussion, Ben, Judah, and Peter make complex topics accessible and engaging. Tune in for a rollercoaster of a conversation that leaves no stone unturned.
