The news, as you've been saying for the better part of 55 years, is all lies, Bolshevist lies.
In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein,' the discussion centers around several pressing issues, starting with Columbia University's significant $220 million settlement. This settlement was reached with Jewish students who faced hostility and attacks on campus, highlighting the ongoing challenges of academic freedom within a predominantly left-wing culture. Ben Stein and Peter Roff delve into the implications of this settlement and what it means for higher education institutions across the country.
The conversation then shifts to the Middle East, where peace prospects remain uncertain. Stein expresses his views on the deceptive narratives surrounding the region, particularly criticizing the United Nations for its refusal to deliver much-needed food supplies to Gaza. This action, according to Stein, underscores a long-standing anti-Semitic and anti-American bias within the organization. Economics also takes center stage as Stein discusses the puzzling trends in current economic indicators.
Contrary to predictions, tariffs have not resulted in inflation as expected, leaving many economists scratching their heads. This segment highlights Stein's expertise in economics, as he compares today's economic climate to historical events. Throughout the episode, Stein and Roff provide a critical analysis of political and social issues, drawing parallels between past and present events. The dialogue is both informative and challenging, encouraging listeners to think critically about the narratives they consume.
The episode closes with a reminder of the importance of standing up for the underdog, a theme that resonates throughout American history. Stein's poignant commentary serves as a call to action for listeners to remain vigilant and informed in their pursuit of truth and justice.
