About this episode
Ben Stein and cohost Judah Friedman discuss, Whoopi Goldberg embodies the ignorance of history of millions of Americans. She's 67. A Baby Boomer. She's straight out of a Sam Cooke song. "Don't know much about history"? She knows nothing! Her Jewish friend doesn't know whether Jews are a race or a religion. The generations that have followed the Boomers are worse. Millennials and Gen Z know less than nothing in many cases. How many Americans know it was illegal to be a Jew in Nazi Germany?
How many Americans know that Jimmy Carter's decision to allow the Shah of Iran to be deposed was one of the worst foreign policy blunders of the 20th century?
