I know Trump, all Trumps like me, they love me! In fact, the other day a Trump said, you know what it said? Its said, You know Trumps, You really do Sir. Im not suprised it said that, you know why? Because I know the best Trumps and they love me.
Brandon Davidson Mixed. We clearly have a lot of racism that still exists in this country.which is disappointing to me 150 years after the civil war. We see blacks, as a whole, have less opportunity than whites and it is clear that blacks get targeted by police more often than whites and get more punishment for the same crime. Yet some in the BLM movement are using it as an opportunity to encourage violence against police. And many of the people the BLM movement point to as being "victimized" brought the punishment on themselves.
How is national defense "extremely" important? Don't we already spend more on defense than the next 7 countries combined? Ben Stein is not an economist he is a comedian!
Yiu heard that from Bernie. We actually spend a lot of money defending or building defenses for other countries. Our military is outdated. I trust what our generals say
we subsidize our NATO allies with large amounts of cash and equipment. The united states ends up footing the bill for portions of other nations defenses as well.
We do spend a hell of a lot on national defense although as a percentage of GDP, it is not particularly big percent compared to the large industrialized countries. To be honest, I pay a lot in taxes and others are putting their lives on the line to protect US interest here and abroad. If I had my choice where the money was going, I'd want to make sure that those who risk their lives to protect my family have the best equipment money can buy. Problem with the government is that for every 2 dollars sent to them in taxes, $1.30 of that is lost to waste and inefficiency. Pretty poor investment when you give more money to the government.
He is nothing but a fool. Even fools have the purpose to entertain the King. There is a big difference between understanding economics as it should be and understanding the corrupt system that has been established to reduce America to feudalism. Trump understands both and Stein understands neither.
Can anybody point to a ruling or other official act by Judge Curiel in which he has displayed bias, or treated Trump unfairly? Trump's lead counsel, the very capable Daniel Petrocelli, has pointedly said 1) Curiel has been even-handed in presiding over the case, and 2) that he has no plans to ask for Curiel's recusal, because no grounds exist to justify such a request. In fact, Curiel made at least two rulings that benefit the defense: He granted a motion to delay the trial until November, when it was originally scheduled to begin next month, and 2) he bifurcated the trial so that the liability phase is separate from the damages phase. What this means is that even if Trump is found liable for consumer fraud (which is very difficult to prove, especially in a case like this), each individual plaintiff will have to prove specific monetary damages less than the sum he or she initially invested in "Trump University." So there isn't going to be a huge, lump-sum damage award in this case, even if the plaintiffs prevail, which is an outcome I consider unlikely. Curiel didn't grant Trump's motion for summary judgment, because he can't: There are material facts in dispute that have to be adjudicated, unless the plaintiffs move for dismissal. If Curiel were some crypto-Reconquista agent, as Trump and his adherents pretend, he certainly would have found some excuse to rig the proceeding in favor of the plaintiffs, rather than applying existing laws equitably, as he has done so far. What we're left with is Curiel's membership in private associations of Latino legal professionals that were duly scrutinized, and found to be entirely innocuous, by the Republican-led Senate at the time of his confirmation hearing, and the staggeringly irrelevant fact that he is a native-born American whose parents were born in Mexico (and became citizens, interestingly, before Trump's Scotland-born mother was naturalized).
+FreedomZealot they cantb provide proof because there is none. the trumpettes didn't even know the judges name until trump said he was mexican and therefore was biased against him, suddenly they're all legal experts screaming about how corrupt a federal judge is... Obama appointed him, yes, but the central theme to Obama nominees are corporatism, he likes judges that favor big business, if anything that should help trumps case since it's literally business vs customers. but no, a Hispanic born in Indiana is suddenly seen as a radical, simply because of his ethnicity.... and then they have the nerve to say trumps not running a racist campaign, this is a shameful time for our country. ...
Trump already released his financial disclosure forms... he shouldn't release his taxes until after the election or not at all. And by the way, Trump only filed Chapter 11, which means he paid it all back WITH interest... so what debt are you talking about ''the rest of us paying his bills''? And three times he filed bankruptcy were contracts he bought and threw directly into bankruptcy to negotiate with the banks that owned the lien. Get a clue, you low-IQ liberal.
Net worth does not mean you earned it through cunning and ingenuity. Remember that he called a loan from daddy for the tune of a cool million small. He inhereted most of his wealth. I could win the lottery and by your defenition be a good business man despite not owning a business, but who would you be to judge since I would have more money than you.
But Trump does own a business. And he turned his "cool million" into 4,500 cool millions. If he was some bumbling fool who knew nothing about business and and this country's whacked out form of capitalism, he wouldn't be accidentally doubling his worth on the reg. If you won the lottery and then went back to your shit job the next day, you wouldn't be a business owner and nobody would say you are
American Patriot Trump inherited and eventually prospered. Well over 70% of lottery winners end up far worse off than they were before they won because they dont really understand interest rates, taxes, and money, period.
I know wealth doesn't automatically determine your ability to run a business, but you're dismissing him as some goober who doesn't know anything because he "got lucky," and that's simply unfair. Again, you don't accidentally make money. And it's not like he's some kind of hedonistic playboy, or something. He is, by no means, the greatest person ever, but do you ever see him not wearing a suit? The dude runs his business. It spans the world (imagine what he has to know about foreign politics just to run businesses across the world). He makes fuggtons of money. And he's never gone broke. The dude's not an idiot
I think Stein would be a strong leader. But I think Trump should consider him for a cabinet position. He has SERIOUS smarts. Don't let his sense of humor deceive you.
They aren't no master race man . The Zionist movement is a bunch of thieves hiding inside an already racist ads religion. I disagree with giving Israel a dime or even allowing the religious lobby to speak. I think it crosses the boundary of separation of church and state
luckyone806 Israel is not a religion. It is our only safe and reliable ally in the region and the only democracy as well, a beacon of light unto the darkness of the Arab mind. One day, if we're lucky, we will be invited to become a province of Greater Israel. Then the Rapture will deliver us all! John Hagee explains it on his website.
Israel is a democracy and it definitely isn't under any sort of religious law. There are plenty of atheists who live in Israel, serve in the military and even the government. The majority of Israelis believe in the seperation of Church and state. On the other hand there are several middle eastern countries where Islamic law is the law of the land. Israel has made many concessions to Palestinians over the years including giving up territory for the establishment of an Palestinian state. The Palestinians responded by electing a terrorist organization as their ruling political party!
Thankfully, he appears to have got good advice. Plus 4 peace deals and a bunch of vaccines that we can now enjoy (if you choose). Whereas Biden has just effed up Afghanistan almost as quick as Obama destroyed Libya.
Fox News is totally obsessed with this judge issue. They are keeping it front and centre in every single flipping program and interview. Then they bash Trump for "not letting it go". Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Go Ben Stein!!!! It is Hillarious that Hillarious can be anything but RUDE and SELFISH!!!! And yes, I hope superdelegates are revolting against Hillarious!!! Both Clintons behave like mobsters!!! I am very happy Ben Stein is so BOLD!!! :)
I thought Ben Stein was supposed to be smart, he literally just said, "Trump doesn't know a fucking thing about anything but I really hate his protesters so I'm voting for him."
SJWs and violent ignorant Trump protesters are causing more and more people to decide they're voting for Trump out of spite, while in the process discovering that while Trump has made some pretty silly remarks, he is far from the KKK deacon that he is made out to be, and his ideas on taxes and immigration control actually make sense. The problem is, so many people are being brainwashed into thinking that you are racist if you don't want totally unsecured borders, and white people are inherently evil. And this shit is getting violent now, so people are waking up and taking sides with their opposition, who happens to be Trump.
+John Harrison Ben is a very smart man maybe you should follow his lead like millions of Americans are doing he is right about Hillary he seems to know her very well she will do a lot of harm to this country that we will fill for a generation
"Not a great business man" .. Really? ROFLMAO! So HOW did he get rich? By making "deals". That's what "great business men" do . He had enuf money to run for President didn't he?? And he's got more money than you! That's good enuf for me. Besides, THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. Trump for President!!! Hopefully, the jealousy among the mainstream politicians and press won't destroy the voice of the people.
Trump as president would have the U.S. file for bankruptcy. "There ! I just settled the National Debt ! Praise me !" He's very adept at bankruptcies. 4 times.
He inherited a lot of money. And he won't disclose how much he is really worth. Many analysis have shown that you could have just dumped his money in an index fund and done better than Trump ever did.
+Damon A wrong. Judges are only supposed to apply the law given as best they can. Even the supreme court is only supposed to decide the constitutional factor, not rearange, cut, and paste it into something that would frighten Dr. Frankenstein. Learn how the branches were INTENDED to work before you correct people.
love it. stein has made his whole career on his reputation as an educated person. his explanation for voting for trump boils down to: i'm going with my gut. he likes trump's stand on national defense, which is spending more. (that's it, no plan, no strategy, just spend more) so i guess spending like drunken sailors is something republicans support now. guy sells out all his values to vote for someone he admits knows nothing because he is afraid of a woman being in charge. that's it plain and simple.
Our financial system was or is capitalism (such as it is today) but our Declaration of Independence and preamble to the constitution includes belief in God (the Republic) and Democratic Socialism. Our government was founded on Christian principles but is a Democratic Republic in the sense that the Lord Jesus didn't combine church and state. No other religion or ideology offers the principles of freedom, dignity of the individual, and altruistic values.... ... "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed BY THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" ... www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html ... "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." ... www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/preamble The GOP brand no longer represents the Republic, it represents neo-con Libertarian capitalism / fascism .. with no holes barred and corporate welfare (an oligarchy).
+jannmutube why do christians always miss the all important use of the word "their" creator? it's not acknowledging one creator of man in official form, it is acknowledging that each person had their own beliefs in spirituality, and the rights given to them by THEIR interpretation of the creator. this does not mean christianity, this is just another example of this being a secular nation, where all faiths are welcomed, and none are enforced. it's this seperating of faith and government, put in place by men (not jesus christ) like Thomas jefferson, a fervent opponent of christianity, that led to this nation prospering, by allowing the government to work with its citizens and focus on the people, rather than the bible, we prospered greatly. look at nations ruled by religious law, they're oppressive hellholes, and christianity especially biblical law would be just as oppressive and horrible.
No, I stopped halfway through the first sentence. You are already wrong +Darren Kehri. Creator meaning life, everlasting, the thing that MADE us, that's why the constitution was SO prolific when it was written but most of it is based on Live and let live AND christian values. I read the rest, me with my "all knowing attitude" thought you were going a different route. I'm glad to know there is enough people left to fight these bastards, we are smarter.
Ben Stein used a double when he said "he's not a good business man in no way". see ?? he is a good business man!! Ben said it!! he's a smart man and would never use a double negative unless he really meant it!! I agree Ben; he's a great business man and will make America great again!
Mark Pugner Your just saying that because he looks like a bloated mess.......! I still think he is an intelligent bloated mess and like other bloated messes he is not always correct in what he says.....!. Look for "Bloated Mess 2", coming in September to a Theater near you....!
Okay I understand that Donald Trump had $1 million to start with. But he turned it over $4 billion. I always thought that if I've ever won a million dollars... it will last me about 5 to 10 years. I never thought about if I won a million dollar, I can turn it around make even $10 million. It never crossed my mind to even think that way. Trump is an incredible business man.
The only point I was making was, everyone has an opinion, and political people weather professional or not, make promises. It really doesn't matter what these folks think? I vote the way I see it to be. If Ben believes there is God, that's good too, because that's what I believe, but his ideas on wheat farming is the same as his thoughts on a presidential candidate. All these celebrities come out talking g about what they think on the candidates? Why would I care? I form my own Opinion? Ya take the Facts,and apply them and that is it.
+Jackson Whitlow Right. I believe he's won an Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and a CMT for good measure... He's also won accolades for writing, producing and directing blockbusters. Sir Alec Guinness... please step aside!
Ben Stein is a writer first and foremost penning Presidential speeches right out of Yale and latterly advising on economic affairs. He was a screenwriter for a time, just for the hell of it. His appearance in films and the odd tv commercial was because they wanted him, not the other way around. He didn't fail at acting because he didn't try to be one. Ben Stein is one of those guys who is smart enough to do pretty much whatever he wants. He only sounds like a moron here because he's using 'Trump' and 'President' in the same sentence.
Hey if everyone else could also write off 6.3 billion in bankruptcy through their companies (trump Air and Trump Casino) then they too could turn 1 million (plus the hundred million he inherited) into 4.5 billion (maybe even more).
Moe MGTOW Wow, you have no clue how bankruptcy works do you. A business is liable for the debt it has amassed, not its leadership. Therefor if a business amasses significant debt while paying "Yuge" salaries (and bonuses) those who profited are not liable to repay that money (or pay extra taxes etc.). Therefor a person could rack up significant debt on a business while giving themselves significant profits and when the business goes bankrupt, walk away with no losses (especially when they got others to make all of the investments as Trump stated he likes to do). Which he has done numerous times: Trump Airlines and Trump Casino (which actually has had 2 bankruptcies so far), Trump the Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Steaks, Trump Water, and numerous others. Trump only real success has been his tower (built by illegally demolishing a historic building) and his television personality. And Trump didn't make the vast majority of his money until after his father died, your point? You notice how Ben Stein never stated that Trump was a great candidate because of his strengths, only because of the weaknesses of his opponents.
Moe MGTOW Wow, your degrees taught you so MUCH... about being an idiot. So when the banks during the housing failure paid their executives tens of millions of dollars in salaries and bonuses and then went bankrupt those executives were sued right? Wait, none of them were. You know like Lehman Brothers that was even investigated for actual fraud (not related to pay) and yet their executives walked away with YUGE bonuses. Or remember the corporate raiders of the 70s and 80s who seized companies at low cost then liquidated them for personal profit and then often brought them into bankruptcy. No? Then I suggest you go back to school and actually learn something. Trump is a bad businessman because creating numerous companies and burning them the ground in a few years is a bad business model. A good model is to build a company that lasts a significant time and controls a majority of a market earning extremely large profits (companies like GE, IBM, Apple, and numerous others that makes Trumps businesses look like a kids lemonade stand). Heck even Mark Zuckerberg turned his investors money into YUGE profits and making himself MUCH wealthier than Trump, while Trump made himself wealthy while often losing his investors money (not a good business model).
This is one of the few times we have an election where BOTH candidates have had a term in office. So we can accurately compare them........and guess what? It's Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee. 😮
I can't believe there used to be a show thematically based around the idea that this guy was super smart...first nixon, then god, now this? If this is how he decides who to vote for, he must have supported George Wallace.
Ben Stein is as good here as he was in the creationist movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed". Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a 2008 documentary film directed by Nathan Frankowski and starring Ben Stein.[2][3] The film contends that the mainstream science establishment suppresses academics who believe they see evidence of intelligent design (ID) in nature and who criticize evidence supporting Darwinian evolution and the modern evolutionary synthesis as a "scientific conspiracy to keep God out of the nation's laboratories and classrooms."[4][5] The scientific theory of evolution is portrayed by the film as contributing to communism, fascism, atheism, eugenics and, in particular, Nazi atrocities in the Holocaust.[6][7] The film portrays intelligent design as motivated by science, rather than religion,
If everyone who did not plan to vote simply voted Libertarian, we'd have a president who is an ex-governor of a state. He'd be liberal on social issues and conservative on fiscal issues, which I think most people are. Give Libertarians a chance!
Stein should know about attempts to intimidate others --- because his film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" amply demonstrated the fact that evolutionary theorists preferred intimidation to incontestable proof. Every time I'm forced to debate with an atheist on one UA-cam page where that film of his is ridiculed, I'm reminded of the tactics of the Gestapo.
If you say Trump doesn't understand economics, you don't know Trump.
you obviously dont know trump. trump admittedly doesnt know crap. but im sure he'll get the best psople on it. then ignore their advice.
You think I don't know Trump? I know Trump. Believe me. I know the best Trumps.

And he made (the documentary film referred to above) by tricking the people he interviewed including Richard Dawkins. BS is not to be trusted.
It's about time someone describes a Judge as a human being with bias and opinions. Thanks Ben.
I don't think anyone ever doubted that. The point is a judge isn't allowed to let his biases subvert the constitution.
The trump university .. that judge should be removed

OK... I see the error of my ways (and of that saying).
"Not a great business man" .. Really? ROFLMAO! So HOW did he get rich? By making "deals". That's what "great business men" do . He had enuf money to run for President didn't he?? And he's got more money than you! That's good enuf for me.
Besides, THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. Trump for President!!! Hopefully, the jealousy among the mainstream politicians and press won't destroy the voice of the people.
Trump as president would have the U.S. file for bankruptcy.
"There ! I just settled the National Debt ! Praise me !"
He's very adept at bankruptcies. 4 times.
record high unfavorables, yep, the people really want him....
+TacomaPaul no that would be obama , how much money can we give away before we are filing for bankruptcy
Ronald Moore
Doesn't matter, does it ?. Trump would file for bankruptcy.
He inherited a lot of money. And he won't disclose how much he is really worth. Many analysis have shown that you could have just dumped his money in an index fund and done better than Trump ever did.
Judges make the LAW, really. Since when.
June 26, 2015, Supreme Court Gay Marriage
+Damon A wrong. Judges are only supposed to apply the law given as best they can. Even the supreme court is only supposed to decide the constitutional factor, not rearange, cut, and paste it into something that would frighten Dr. Frankenstein. Learn how the branches were INTENDED to work before you correct people.
LOOK at how his earlobes pulse when he talks... what the fuck?!!!
If Ben Stein did NOT vote for tRump I would fall to the floor with a coronary.
Thank you, Mr. Stein, for finally bringing up the judge's connection to La Raza. I was starting to wonder if that info were classified...
So he's voting for Trump out of spite?
Trump is not running against a felon. Rumor is not evidence in a court of law.
Guilty until proven innocent?
If he's going to vote for him, I wish he wouldn't tear him down so much in the process. Ben's being a fucking dork.
Is that any worse then voting for or against someone simply because of the color of their skin?
A criminal who committed multiple felonies.
Damnit Ben, pipe down and keep trying to decongest because all of those names for economic adviser were terrible, make it Peter Schiff.
Come on Benny, you will endorse anyone they pay you to endorse. You know it, know it everybody knows it.
On one hand, that's likely true. On the other hand, I don't know who still gives a fuck about Ben Stein.
Ben Stein Disses Trump ‘I’m Not Totally Sure He’s Right in the Head’
love it. stein has made his whole career on his reputation as an educated person. his explanation for voting for trump boils down to: i'm going with my gut. he likes trump's stand on national defense, which is spending more. (that's it, no plan, no strategy, just spend more) so i guess spending like drunken sailors is something republicans support now. guy sells out all his values to vote for someone he admits knows nothing because he is afraid of a woman being in charge. that's it plain and simple.
Did he just say Greenspan would give good advice?
Yeah. My enthusiasm waned after that.
The news anchor seemed to be disappointed when he said a judge can be biased.
That guy is awesome. He just says what he really things point blank. His point about how judges are biased humans like anyone else is a great one.
The judges say opposite things about what is the law, so I have very little respect for what they say the law is.
Our financial system was or is capitalism (such as it is today) but our Declaration of Independence and preamble to the constitution includes belief in God (the Republic) and Democratic Socialism.
Our government was founded on Christian principles but is a Democratic Republic in the sense that the Lord Jesus didn't combine church and state. No other religion or ideology offers the principles of freedom, dignity of the individual, and altruistic values....
... "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed BY THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" ... www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
... "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." ... www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/preamble
The GOP brand no longer represents the Republic, it represents neo-con Libertarian capitalism / fascism .. with no holes barred and corporate welfare (an oligarchy).
+jannmutube why do christians always miss the all important use of the word "their" creator? it's not acknowledging one creator of man in official form, it is acknowledging that each person had their own beliefs in spirituality, and the rights given to them by THEIR interpretation of the creator. this does not mean christianity, this is just another example of this being a secular nation, where all faiths are welcomed, and none are enforced. it's this seperating of faith and government, put in place by men (not jesus christ) like Thomas jefferson, a fervent opponent of christianity, that led to this nation prospering, by allowing the government to work with its citizens and focus on the people, rather than the bible, we prospered greatly. look at nations ruled by religious law, they're oppressive hellholes, and christianity especially biblical law would be just as oppressive and horrible.
.
Dude, I fucking LOVE you right now, I wish more people seen this comment! You made my day, really, thank you. +jannmutube.
No, I stopped halfway through the first sentence. You are already wrong +Darren Kehri. Creator meaning life, everlasting, the thing that MADE us, that's why the constitution was SO prolific when it was written but most of it is based on Live and let live AND christian values.
I read the rest, me with my "all knowing attitude" thought you were going a different route. I'm glad to know there is enough people left to fight these bastards, we are smarter.
Ben Stein used a double when he said "he's not a good business man in no way". see ?? he is a good business man!! Ben said it!! he's a smart man and would never use a double negative unless he really meant it!! I agree Ben; he's a great business man and will make America great again!
Never would have believed that I would respect Ben Stein.
Smart man.
The guy from that 80s movie said what?
Buler, Buler,...
Buler......Buler.......Buler.....
Maybe Jabba the Hut from the Empire Strikes Back. Stein's a bloated mess.
Mark Pugner
Your just saying that because he looks like a bloated mess.......!
I still think he is an intelligent bloated mess and like other bloated messes he is not always correct in what he says.....!.
Look for "Bloated Mess 2", coming in September to a Theater near you....!
Bueller? Bueller? Ferris Bueller?
I think Ben is the smartest guy I have ever seen and followed, He is brilliant and a real asset to our world.
Okay I understand that Donald Trump had $1 million to start with. But he turned it over $4 billion. I always thought that if I've ever won a million dollars... it will last me about 5 to 10 years. I never thought about if I won a million dollar, I can turn it around make even $10 million. It never crossed my mind to even think that way. Trump is an incredible business man.
Just because Ben talks in a low monotone voice,doesnt make him a smart man either! So???
His credentials do that, not his voice. Look it up.
1985cjjeeper OMG? How did I know that was coming?
Yet this is a man who believes in faith over science.
Take all those credentials, and toss em.
and has argued it to bare teeth. Listening to him discuss religion is enough to make him seem less intelligible than a Louisiana gator farmer.
The only point I was making was, everyone has an opinion, and political people weather professional or not, make promises. It really doesn't matter what these folks think? I vote the way I see it to be.
If Ben believes there is God, that's good too, because that's what I believe, but his ideas on wheat farming is the same as his thoughts on a presidential candidate. All these celebrities come out talking g about what they think on the candidates? Why would I care? I form my own Opinion?
Ya take the Facts,and apply them and that is it.
Ben Stein is one G-rated after
You are being too kind, he is a delusional moron and failed actor.
***** If you think he is some sort of successful actor it is time you crawled out from under your stupidity.
+Jackson Whitlow Right. I believe he's won an Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and a CMT for good measure... He's also won accolades for writing, producing and directing blockbusters. Sir Alec Guinness... please step aside!
Ben Stein is a writer first and foremost penning Presidential speeches right out of Yale and latterly advising on economic affairs. He was a screenwriter for a time, just for the hell of it. His appearance in films and the odd tv commercial was because they wanted him, not the other way around. He didn't fail at acting because he didn't try to be one. Ben Stein is one of those guys who is smart enough to do pretty much whatever he wants. He only sounds like a moron here because he's using 'Trump' and 'President' in the same sentence.
+Brent Pulford
LOL
Paul Winston McCracken (December 29, 1915 - August 3, 2012)
Who's the news anchor in this segment? And why wouldn't Fox post that info in the description? Sheesh...
Fuck all the rest;Jesse Ventura for president 2016!!!
Mykall McDowell heeeeelllll nah
Isn't Ben Stein the psychiatrist from the film the Mask?
also speechwriter for richard nixon and gerald ford
Long time no see Stein. Good to see a bright man, one of the best. Hope Trump hires you.
If Al Franken ran for president with Ben Stein as his running mate, their bumper stickers would say "Vote For Franken-Stein."
Trump needs Ben Stein in his cabinet. What a great advisor Ben Stein would be.
Trump is the better pick for sure, but I am just afraid there are too many women that will vote for Hillary to get a female president.
Is that because you hate women? Is that for sure.
wut?
+canyousmellasmell wow, that is way off base.
I'm a woman who will vote Clinton not because she's a woman but because she is NOT Trump.
Clinton will be a lot worse for the country than Trump. Not to mention she's a criminal.
Fox need to have more Ben Stein !
Fox Business is still uploading in 360p... what year is this???
Okay Ben Stein... You're not a good economist either if you think most people can turn 1 Million into 4.5 billion. Do the math behind that.
The guy had a game show!
I understand. Just saying he had a game show.
Hey if everyone else could also write off 6.3 billion in bankruptcy through their companies (trump Air and Trump Casino) then they too could turn 1 million (plus the hundred million he inherited) into 4.5 billion (maybe even more).
Moe MGTOW Wow, you have no clue how bankruptcy works do you. A business is liable for the debt it has amassed, not its leadership. Therefor if a business amasses significant debt while paying "Yuge" salaries (and bonuses) those who profited are not liable to repay that money (or pay extra taxes etc.). Therefor a person could rack up significant debt on a business while giving themselves significant profits and when the business goes bankrupt, walk away with no losses (especially when they got others to make all of the investments as Trump stated he likes to do). Which he has done numerous times: Trump Airlines and Trump Casino (which actually has had 2 bankruptcies so far), Trump the Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Steaks, Trump Water, and numerous others. Trump only real success has been his tower (built by illegally demolishing a historic building) and his television personality.
And Trump didn't make the vast majority of his money until after his father died, your point?
You notice how Ben Stein never stated that Trump was a great candidate because of his strengths, only because of the weaknesses of his opponents.
Moe MGTOW Wow, your degrees taught you so MUCH... about being an idiot. So when the banks during the housing failure paid their executives tens of millions of dollars in salaries and bonuses and then went bankrupt those executives were sued right? Wait, none of them were. You know like Lehman Brothers that was even investigated for actual fraud (not related to pay) and yet their executives walked away with YUGE bonuses. Or remember the corporate raiders of the 70s and 80s who seized companies at low cost then liquidated them for personal profit and then often brought them into bankruptcy. No? Then I suggest you go back to school and actually learn something.
Trump is a bad businessman because creating numerous companies and burning them the ground in a few years is a bad business model. A good model is to build a company that lasts a significant time and controls a majority of a market earning extremely large profits (companies like GE, IBM, Apple, and numerous others that makes Trumps businesses look like a kids lemonade stand). Heck even Mark Zuckerberg turned his investors money into YUGE profits and making himself MUCH wealthier than Trump, while Trump made himself wealthy while often losing his investors money (not a good business model).
As long as he votes Trump, I don't care why.
This is one of the few times we have an election where BOTH candidates have had a term in office. So we can accurately compare them........and guess what? It's Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee. 😮
I like Ben Stein. It's sad to see him loosing his edge. He doesn't seem as sharp as he used to be.
How does Ben not mention Thomas Sowell? He's getting on in years, but I'd say he's most brilliant economist alive today (including Ben).
Trump could always appoint Ben on his advisory council for economics.
I can't believe there used to be a show thematically based around the idea that this guy was super smart...first nixon, then god, now this? If this is how he decides who to vote for, he must have supported George Wallace.
Ben Stein is as good here as he was in the creationist movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed".
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a 2008 documentary film directed by Nathan Frankowski and starring Ben Stein.[2][3] The film contends that the mainstream science establishment suppresses academics who believe they see evidence of intelligent design (ID) in nature and who criticize evidence supporting Darwinian evolution and the modern evolutionary synthesis as a "scientific conspiracy to keep God out of the nation's laboratories and classrooms."[4][5] The scientific theory of evolution is portrayed by the film as contributing to communism, fascism, atheism, eugenics and, in particular, Nazi atrocities in the Holocaust.[6][7] The film portrays intelligent design as motivated by science, rather than religion,
Not Warren buffet, he was involved with the real estate meltdown.
I've always liked Ben Stein due to the fact that he's got an amazing sense of humor AND, he's also very wise!
He will have lots of advisors around him, for business .he will do his job for America
Weather you agree with him or not, he restores my faith in humanity. he tells it like it is, and its difficult to refute the truth.
I love how trump protesters are really his biggest supporters.
Clear eyes guy said to buy Merril Lynch right before it lost 3/4 of its value
Even Ben Stein sees the obvious truth of the evil shadow government, "THEY SMEAR who they FEAR" !
Yes Ben ...National defense is the MOST important issue !!! without it we wont have a country anymore !!!!
I'm scared for our future...we have no one to vote for that will measure up.
"The idea of Hillary presenting herself as a caring mother is a bad joke" Ouch! lolz
He does not need to be a good business man but does it matter. Every president has their advisors.
The spokeswomen for Fox News are always super hot, but they also have the "deer in the headlights" look in their eyes.
Liked this video after Mr. Stein mentioned Mr. Buffet. YES.
"why haven't they fixed anything? They've had 8yrs" SERIOUSLY?!!!! As if anything can get done or fixed with this DO NOTHING congress!
>The idea of hillary presenting herself as a caring mother is a bad joke
That was hilarious at 2:00
If everyone who did not plan to vote simply voted Libertarian, we'd have a president who is an ex-governor of a state. He'd be liberal on social issues and conservative on fiscal issues, which I think most people are. Give Libertarians a chance!
Stein dyes his eyebrows black, Trump dyes his skin and hair orange... they should be running mates based on that alone.
Stein should know about attempts to intimidate others --- because his film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" amply demonstrated the fact that evolutionary theorists preferred intimidation to incontestable proof. Every time I'm forced to debate with an atheist on one UA-cam page where that film of his is ridiculed, I'm reminded of the tactics of the Gestapo.
If only Ben Stein was as smart as the character he plays on tv...
simple equation: the consequences are too unforgiving.
Ben Stein is not an economist….his father was. He's a lawyer.
I see he didn't talk about how trump told to fight the protests.
Why has no one pointed out that Ben called America a democracy... I thought that we were a republic.
Ben Stein is still alive and kicking? Man, loved him in The mask.
Ben Stein for economic advisor!!! Absolutely correct about the judge!!!!
