Science or Politics? Ben Stein Questions the Left's Agenda
I would never in my wildest dreams, as a young person in this country, thought that the one of the major political parties would be standing and cheering to the rafters for the right to murder their own children and saying that you are, there's something wrong with you and you're a Nazi and you don't want to murder your own children.
Are we sacrificing common sense at the altar of 'science'? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman welcome Mandy Gunasekara, a senior policy analyst with the Independent Women’s Forum and former chief of staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Together, they tackle some heavy-hitting topics that might just make you rethink what you thought you knew about the intersection of science and politics.
They dive into the left's intense focus on science, questioning whether it’s genuinely about progress or if there’s a more sinister agenda at play. From government-funded military abortions to inflation, oil, fracking, and crime, the trio covers it all. They also shed light on why Republicans often fumble their messaging on these crucial issues. And if you're curious about how the strategic petroleum reserve might influence the upcoming midterms, they’ve got you covered. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Stein and Friedman also emphasize personal responsibility, especially when it comes to family planning and the controversial use of abortion as birth control. Ben Stein doesn't hold back, expressing his disbelief at how one of the major political parties champions what he sees as morally questionable policies. This episode is a rollercoaster of insights, opinions, and thought-provoking discussions that will leave you pondering long after it’s over.
