Borders and Beyond: A Candid Chat with Ben Stein and Peter Roff
But a country is not a country unless it has borders. And I think there's something, and we spoke about it, we speak about it all the time- it's that they don't believe in America, in the American dream, they don't believe in American exceptionalism and they want to watch the destruction of our country.
What happens when you gather a former presidential speechwriter, an addiction specialist, and a Newsweek columnist to discuss one of the most contentious issues in America today? You get a conversation that's as fiery as it is insightful. In this episode of 'The World According To Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman sit down with Peter Roff to tackle the US-Mexico border debate head-on.
They dive into why they believe borders are essential for a nation's identity and how mass migration could be altering the American dream. But that's not all. They also take on political correctness, arguing that it stifles honest discussions about the real impact of open borders. And if you think that's heavy, they even touch on mental illness and its role in today's political landscape.
This episode isn't just about opinions; it's about challenging listeners to think critically about where America is headed. Whether you're deeply invested in political debates or just curious about different viewpoints, this episode promises to be a thought-provoking ride.
