The World According To Ben Stein
Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman are joined by former Trump EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara to discuss the economic outlook with an actual economist, and the cruel harm caused by the ESG (environmental, social and governance) movement. We don’t believe any American should lose their job because some woke, intellectual in a pointy hat determined they no longer work for a “good” company. We also discuss the need for God – a true restoration in everyday life – and the alarming ways secularism manifests itself: climate extremism, transing the kids, and a suppression of speech. Finally, we clear the air on whether Ben Stein was in fact deep throat, and so much more.
