We've lost all definition of what heroes are, of what stars are, of what of of of of people to look up to the villains, the heroes and the villains, as the song goes and we, we, we don't know what they are anymore.
Ever wondered why everyday essentials like food, gas, and energy are starting to feel like luxuries? Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman dive into this very issue in this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein'. They explore the troubling effects of inflation and how it’s turning necessities into high-priced commodities. But that's not all. The duo also takes a hard look at rising crime rates and the erosion of moral values in American society.
They lament the loss of heroes in our culture, arguing that we no longer have clear role models to look up to. According to Ben, this is a significant moral collapse, while Judah adds that our understanding of heroes and stars has become muddled. Another fascinating topic they touch on is Southern California's rich history as a leading oil producer, contrasting it with today's economic challenges.
They also discuss the controversial blame placed on Jews for various societal issues, with Ben emphasizing the importance of understanding root causes rather than scapegoating. This episode is a blend of raw commentary and thought-provoking insights, offering a candid look at the state of America today. If you're interested in understanding the deeper issues affecting our society, this episode is a must-listen.
