Sarah Zubiate Bennett (00:00):
Hi. I'm Sarah Zubiate Bennett and

(00:02):
today's episode of Let's TalkLocal is one you won't want to
miss. You've heard my husbandMonty Bennett on here before but
never like this. This time he'sjoined by none other than social
media star Alex Stein. And whenyou put these two together, the
conversation is pure magic. Wecover everything from Alex's
viral, Doctor Fauci give me thatOuchie video to the
supernatural, and even whetherthe Dallas Cowboys finally

(00:24):
winning another Super Bowl couldfix half of the world's
problems. This episode truly hasit all. Stick around for the
full ride and don't forget tolike and subscribe so you never
miss an episode. Thanks fortuning in. Okay. So this is new

(00:52):
territory for me. I'm sittinghere with two provocateurs
essentially.

Alex Stein (00:57):
Well, Monty's not as mean, he's provocative.

Oh, you have no idea.

Alex Stein (01:01):
I know. Trust me. I know. Monty Bennett is a legend.
I'm just saying he doesn't wearthe tug friendly bathing suit to
a city council meeting.
Is I think Monty he is aprovocateur behind the scenes.
He's not public provocateur as Iam. I don't think.

Yes. But

Monty Bennett (01:15):
I'm happy to agree with that.

Alex Stein (01:16):
Yeah. Trust me. You should. You don't wanna be like
me, Monty. I'm I tell I say thisall the time, Sarah.
I am not a role model like I I'mnot somebody to maybe maybe you
might wanna be bold like me orunapologetic like me, but
really, I'm like CharlesBarkley. I'm not I'm not a role
model. I do a lot of weird stuffthat put myself in danger

What's wrong with Charles Barkley?

Alex Stein (01:35):
No. I'm saying he would always say I love Charles
Barkley. I'm a huge CharlesBarkley fan, but he would always
say that. He would say, I'm nota role model, like, he'd get
thrown out of a he got arrestedfor throwing a guy through a
plate glass window and got abunch of kickback for it. He
said, listen, I'm CharlesBarkley. I'm not a role model.
I'm a gambler. I'm an, you know,hall of fame basketball player.
So that's kind of like me. I'mnot a hall of fame basketball
player, but you don't want toemulate me because my path to

(01:59):
where I'm at right right now isa bumpy road. And I hope people
have a smoother path to successthan my path.

Quick question for both of you. What
in your lives has given you thefortitude and perhaps just not
even the fortitude inconjunction with flat out guts
to not care. No shame in many inmany of these deliveries?

Alex Stein (02:26):
Well, I don't know what Monty is gonna say, but the
reason why I am act the way thatI act or and I was acting this
way a little bit before, but Iwas, you know, obviously very
anti lockdowns. And I don't knowif you know this, Monty, but I
mean a lot of people do, youknow, my mom got COVID, went to
the hospital, she's breathing,she's fine. They say, oh, we
want to intubate her. And mymom's like, we don't want be

(02:46):
intubated. We don't want to beintubated. So then the next day,
they make a sign a do notresuscitate DNR. My mom and I
are like, This is a second dayin there. Then the third day she
gets like progressively worse. Ifind out and I we said this in
the beginning, do not give herremdesivir. Do not give her
remdesivir. Gave her remdesivir.She died seven days later in my
arm.

And and I'm so sorry.

Alex Stein (03:06):
And it was so bad. But what I think about every
time when I go to a meeting or Igo somewhere where I don't,
know, there's a lot of thingsthat I do that I don't wanna do,
you know, if I really I wouldlike to just vacation all day
long, you know, travel if Ireally could just do what I
want. But I do a lot of stuffthat I don't wanna do. And I go
back and I think about how hardit was to walk in there and, you
know, just be in that, you know,the hospital room and everything

(03:27):
else seems easy. So
For me, it was a really badthing that motivated me and it
realized how finite life is. Mymom was 59 and so

She was young.

Alex Stein (03:39):
I just it motivated me to like, hey, look, the time,
you know, the clock is ticking.I don't have that much time left
so I need to go out there and bemore bold and it's made me a lot
less fearless. So a bad thing,you know, Of you gotta turn into
a course.

Of course.

Alex Stein (03:52):
Terrible thing.

You know, as far as me, I think you just give me
too much credit. I did it's notsomething that, you know, I wake
up and say, oh, I have theseguts or not guts. It's just,
waking up and seeing some thingsthat need to be done, some
people that need to be helped,some matters that need some
attention, then moving forward.And along the way, there's

(04:15):
always persons that don't likeit for one reason or the other.
What's so interesting is it's sofunny when I come across people
that hadn't been my fan and someof the things I've tried to do
in the city. Every fact they'vegot is wrong about things I've
said or done or whatever. Andthat tells you a couple of
things. One, just how easily allof us can be manipulated by

(04:36):
something we hear or said. Wetake something that someone says
as true all the time, eventhough many times it's not true.
And many times, they don't evenknow it's not true.
They're just repeatingsomething. And the fact that
there's probably just somepeople in there that, for their
own reasons, don't want thingsto change. And you've got to be

(04:57):
careful about that. I mean, youlook at our homelessness
problem, and it's a problem. Butsometimes you look at what's
going on and you scratch yourhead and you say, is everyone
that's involved in helping thisproblem trying to solve the
problem? Or are some people,some, hopefully a very small

(05:19):
minority, making sure theproblem's not solved so that
they can still get grants andstill stay employed and still
doing what they're doing?Because in some cases, the
ability, inability to solve theproblem is so high that you've

(05:39):
got to think something else isgoing on.

Alex Stein (05:41):
Well, I have to call you out, Monty. You know you're
being naive. You know that youknow how bad this homeless
industrial complex is and howthey benefit from being freaking
homeless. And they do thesestudies where they give them a
free home, and and they don'teven wanna live in the
apartment. So you know there's awhole business behind this that
people don't talk about. So Iappreciate you bringing it up,
but this is like the homelessproblem we could fix, but it's a

(06:02):
mental health issue because youcan even give them all the
resources. They give them a freeapartment in Seattle. Have or
they give them a free tiny home,and they don't even wanna sleep
in the tiny home. They wannasleep on the street. So it's
like, we can pour billions ofdollars into homelessness.
They're not gonna it's not gonnafix the problem. It's just we're
gonna make the people that workin the, what I call, the
homeless industrial complex. Andit sounds crazy, but it's not as
crazy as it, you know, just likeMonty just said, like, there are

(06:23):
people that benefit from peoplebeing homeless through, you
know, government organizations,through, you know, city funding.
So there's a business behindpeople being homeless and
keeping people homeless.

There's that and there's an ideology. It's kind
of like when you see, the mayorof Chicago say, you know what?
These grocery prices are toohigh. We're going go open a city
owned grocery store. Well, look,everybody in this room, we know
that's a disaster before ithappens. We know what happens,
and it's simple. It's because ofhow human beings are, and
because how they operate, thatwill never ever be a success

(06:57):
ever. Yet, there's a lot ofpeople that think that that
could somehow work and thereforepursue it. And will pursue it
and will fail over and over andover and over and over again and
never learn and keep wanting totake other people's money at the
working end of a gun and take itfrom them and then go pursue

(07:21):
these strategies that have neverworked, but somehow think that
they're going to work. And thatis a problem when people are so
locked into a way of believingthings and aren't willing to
say, Okay, this didn't work.Let's try something else.

Back to the homelessness bit. I don't
think that everyone in theindustrial homeless

Alex Stein (07:42):
Complex. a
There's a lot of industrialcomplex. Pharmaceutical
industrial, anything can have anindustrial complex. But yeah.

I've interacted with so many of the
people in that industry. Somepeople are genuine

Alex Stein (07:53):
Of course.

In their care. Don't know. I can't speak
to people's intent. But back toyour point

We should run a poll. Aren't we just talking
genuine? Yeah.

Alex Stein (08:02):
Aren't we genuine?

Sarah Zubiate Bennett: To your point, it's not working. (08:08):
undefined
There's some self serving natureto all humanity unfortunately.
But I don't know. I don't knowif people are willing to get
really honest about it. But isthere anything in particular
that you both believe would beable to critically change the
trajectory of the homelessnesslandscape?

Well, yes. First I think there's got to be a
recognition. And the recognitionis what Alex said a couple
minutes ago is, many people wantto be on the streets. They want
to be on the streets. And mostof the thoughts don't revolve
around it. Like everyone wantsto be off the street, that's
just not true. If you've everbeen to a college dorm where

(08:50):
boys live, you can see how weall can live like animals. Yeah.
Men can live.

Isn't that true?

How many women do you see on the streets? You
hardly see any women? No, no,why? Is there is there more
discrimination against men inhousing than there is against
women? I mean, this this wholethis whole construct of the
reason around homelessness isfalse. The reason is because
women have reasons not to be onthe street. First, they're just

(09:17):
not as disgusting as men. Mencan be animals, but also women
can be harmed on streets. Theyhave reasons not to be on the
streets. Right? They can havethings stolen from them. They
can be abused. Men, much lessso. So there's a lot more men on
the streets. When you see thepeople on the streets, you see
mainly white men and black men.Well, where are the Hispanics?

(09:39):
Where are the Indians?

Alex Stein (09:40):
You don't really see a lot of Indian homeless guys.
Don't see lot of them. That'strue. You really don't. And
there are lot of them are vets.

Yeah, it's true.

There's cultural reasons. There's cultural
reasons as part of it. So youhave to look at each one of
these reasons and say, Okay, whyis it culturally Okay,
acceptable in this people groupand not in this people group?
And then start to address that.Why are there men and not women?
And start to address that. Andso you have to kind of break it
down in kind of this just biggeneral blanket of, well,

(10:11):
everyone's a victim, and thesepeople are all victims, and
that's it. I can tell you a guythat's doing a lot here in town,
and he probably didn't want meto mention his name so that he's
associated with me, he's a greatguy. His name is Rob Walters. I
think you're going to try to gethim

Yeah.

Works for one of the preeminent law firms in the
world here in town. And he isworking hard to bring players
together. They've launched aprogram here over the past
couple of months that has reallyimproved homelessness downtown
at least. It still has a goodbit to go, but it has made some
great progress. And the questionis, well, why wasn't the city

(10:46):
doing this on their own? Right?Why does someone outside have to
get involved and do all this?And praise God in heaven that he
is. And I hope that his effortscontinue to make more and more
inroads into the problem. Butthese are not like Elon Musk
trying to fly to Mars. This isnot trying to split the atom.

(11:06):
These problems are veryaddressable. But people won't
spend the political capital togo solve them for a variety of
reasons. And that's that's theshame. That's that's unfortunate
because people suffer in themeantime.
But I have a question for ourguest. May I ask one question?

(11:27):
When you sit and you decide tobe really funny about something,
if that makes sense, right? Idon't have the gift of humor
that you've got. And you'regonna go down and you're gonna
testify at this hearing rightdown in Austin. And you take out
your pen. Mhmm. And you're aboutto write down what you're gonna
do. How does it start? Wheredoes it come from?

Alex Stein (11:51):
That's a great because because I I wanna tell
you. So you're bringing up how Irecently went to a Texas state
hearing and I talked and I madesome jokes about how
transgenders would be great inthe military because, you know,
since they have a high suiciderate, we could use them as
suicide bombers. It was a joke,but it it it went viral because
obviously conservatives werelaughing about it. But then the

(12:11):
transgender community got inlike, this is what they think of
us. They want us to suicide bombthem. Obviously, don't want
anybody to commit suicide, butthat's why that video blew up
because it, you know, it hit anerve. But to your question of
the process, so that video wentsuper viral and then a marijuana
lobbyist called me and Iactually disagree. I I do want
them to ban this syntheticmarijuana. I think it's really
dangerous. I hope Abbott bans itbecause I think that's worse

(12:32):
than the regular marijuana. Thesynthetic stuff is even worse,
believe it or not.

I am a huge lover of the hemp drinks.

Alex Stein (12:37):
Well see I don't like that. That I've tried the
Delta eight and stuff. It makesWell,

it's not Delta eight.

Alex Stein (12:42):
Oh, it's not Delta eight.

Ones that I have now.

Okay. Well,

Alex Stein (12:44):
The regular the ones you get at a dispensary, that I
I I have no doubt that isactually safer than a lot of the
synthetic stuff that you getlike at a gas station.
Yeah, but so this this lobbyistfirm hit me up and they're like,
Alex, give us some ideas. Wewanna pay you and I'm like,
well, how much do you guys pay?They're like, well, we pay our
lobbyists 10 to $50,000. I waslike, well, maybe I'm
interested. Okay? I'm kind ofinterested now. So then I start,

(13:04):
you know, brainstorming myideas. So with the marijuana
state hearing, it just gotpassed in the house and now
they're gonna have a senatehearing for that potentially
this week. And they're like, Ialways want you to come up with
an idea. So my idea for the forthis one is I'm going to I have
a Hispanic comedian friendbecause I can't do this. I don't
think it'll I might saysomething, but I'm really more
interested in his speech. I havea Hispanic guy. He's a comedian,

(13:27):
local guy in Dallas, and he'statted up. He's from El
Salvador. He's a young kid. He'slike 21. Nice guy. But I'm gonna
have him go to the meeting andI'm gonna have him say that I
work for the cartel and then I'mso grateful that you guys are
banning this hemp because now mybusiness is gonna go through the
roof. Yeah. The more you guysban stuff, the more money I
make. And I I can already tellyou that video is gonna blow up.

(13:49):
Especially from him. Know, I tryto do a dress in a Mexican
sombrero or something, know,they would just laugh me. You
know, it wouldn't work. But areal Hispanic guy.

I don't know. That'd be funny too.

Alex Stein (13:57):
It would be funny. Would I I want See, but but
money, I've done this enoughwhere the the the way it hits
the best when you go to a publicmeeting or a government meeting,
whatever it is, people have tobelieve it. If they
automatically you're in a bananacostume or something like, well,
this guy's joking. Yeah. Youknow, already people might
laugh, but if they believe it,it it the joke works a lot
better if they actually So atfirst, while they're like, wait

(14:18):
a minute, is this happening? IsIs this real? That's the way you
hook her in. You gotta make themthink it's real.

That's why it went viral. Yes. I mean,
that entire comment because

They said, look, Alex Stein, he's a serious
person.

Yeah. He's sick. He's demented. Trans
people said they're serious.They're calling for our
assassination. I said, They tookthat threat serious. It blew up.
And obviously, I wasn't beingserious. Don't want anybody to
commit suicide, but they tookthat as gospel, and you know, it
it blew up.
What is your kind of your legacythat you're wanting to leave?
Because I I see I see so muchtruth in what you're doing

(14:55):
behind the humor.

Mhmm.

I mean, there a lot of power behind what
you're doing.

Alex Stein (14:59):
But the simple thing I want the simple thing I want
is I can't no amount ofinformation can convince an
idiot and and and I learned thatkind of through COVID and stuff.
So I don't even really wannaconvince people of my opinion. I
I and I'm not just saying thisyou know to to overgeneralize. I
just want people to start askingquestions like people aren't
asking questions and that's whenI started asking. So it's my

(15:22):
motivation is I want more peopleto start asking these questions
of why isn't this working?
Why is this happening? And Ithink that that is kind of how
we would fully evolve as asociety is if we can actually
get people interested in findingthe truth of what's really going
on because there's just so manylies. There's so much government
corruption and maybe ourgovernment's not as corrupt as
some other ones, there's stillcorruption in our government.
And I want people to just askwhy is this happening because

(15:45):
that's once they get thatinterest and they want to do
their own research and I kind ofwant to look into making society
better, that that's my goal atthe end of the day. Just ask
what and why everything is goingthe way it is.

I wanna play this. And it's from the
Jewish Journal. And it was ait's AI that is reading your
kind of whenever you were inscrubs at the

Alex Stein (16:11):
That was the first one that I blew up and one thing
I want to say earlier. So,Marnie, when you're talking
about my my, you know, process,when I first spoke at these
meetings, it was during COVID. Ispoke serious. Like I said some
sarcastic stuff but I was deadserious. They shut down the
bathrooms.
They shut I I live by Yeah. Waslike they shut down the bathroom
of Bachman Lake. This is an openair bathroom like how is this

(16:32):
you know?

The colostomy

Alex Stein (16:33):
The colostomy That's what I'm saying. There's an 80
year old guy Rudy would walk allthe time and I'd see him I
became Facebook friends with himand like he was 80 and he walks
I was like man this guy has somuch energy for an 80 year old
but you know he had a colostomybag and I stopped seeing him I
messaged him on Facebook I'mlike Rudy I never see a balkman
leg never see in the morninganymore you okay because it's
kind of where he died trying tobe you know you know sad or I

(16:54):
was like are you okay he's yeahbut you know I have the
colostomy bag I can't use thebathroom there so I don't walk a
block when I just walk in thetreadmill in my house and I'm
like you gotta be kidding melike this is the

Is the treadmill in his house?

Alex Stein (17:06):
Yeah I mean I just remember he just said he walked
to his house.

Maybe he got one right?

Alex Stein (17:09):
Yeah I think he might have got one he said he
got a treadmill. And I'm like,that really kind of made me mad
because I'm like, 80 year oldguy don't even wanna walk. How
is this better for our healthtelling us not to exercise? And
so I spoke serious and they theydidn't even listen. They could
care less, you know.
They were obviously gonna shuteverything down because they
were worried and it didn't haveany effect. It just didn't it

(17:30):
just didn't hit. And then beforethe one you're about to play the
the transcript from, I had avideo where I was when the
heartbeat bill passed and andI'm really anti abortion. I
understand why somebody mightwanna have one. They don't have
the money, but I'm really I I dobelieve that, you know, you're
murdering a baby.
You know, I I don't know howelse to describe it. But they
had the heartbeat bill. It justgot passed and I went up there

(17:51):
and I said because everybody wasmad about this heartbeat bill
and I and I said, I I'm so mad Iwas talking to the Dallas City
Council that you guys are youknow making it abortion so hard
I love abortion it's the safestform of

Yeah I heard you

Alex Stein (18:04):
And I was like you know I'm about to go on a trip
to Cancun I got multiple babymamas, know, I said all this you
say, you know, inflammatorythings, all this this crazy
stuff. And Charlie Kirk sharedit and that was one of the first
videos I got a million views. Iwas like, oh, this is what I
need to do. This is what I needto do is I need to kind of put a
mirror up to the most egregiousand craziest things of our
society and that is how we bringattention to it. So it shows the

(18:27):
absurdity of it. So thatmotivated me and then I kind of
started that process and thenthat I think it was like of less
than a month later I went therein scrubs and that's when like
the height of COVID and they'redoing all of the vaccine, know,
get vaccinated in Fair Park, getvaccinated here. So I went up
there and I sing

Sarah Zubiate Bennett: How did you come up with this? (18:43):
undefined

Alex Stein (18:44):
I mean, I just kind of freestyle that I was in.

This was a freestyle?

Alex Stein (18:47):
A lot of it was. Yes.

How did you come up with my favorite famous line
is, you know, doctor Fauci, giveme that Ouchie.

Alex Stein (18:53):
I thought of that before. I had that before.

I still remember that.

Alex Stein (18:58):
I'm like, doctor Fauci that ouchie.

Everything I'm trying to get something to rhyme
with Fauci.

That was the one thing that I wanted to
have played. Oh my god. It'sfine.
It's fine.

Alex Stein (19:06):
It's fine.

It's fine. It's okay. It's okay. But
it was it was hilarious becauseit was so effective.

Then you had your head back because I remember you
dropping something on your face.

Alex Stein (19:14):
Yeah. Had to have sanitizer. Hand sanitizer. Hand
sanitizer. My god.

But you know what? You're touching on a
phenomenon here that is soamazing. How fast so many people
in our country went into amaniacal crazed mode regarding
these vaccines and these kindsof things. And look, I think we
can all understand people aresaying, hey, look, these
vaccines were even believingthat they work. To go to the

(19:42):
point where they were willing tocommit atrocities on people that
didn't believe with them onthat.

Alex Stein (19:48):
That's right.

How fast that happened. You know what I always
wondered, how on earth couldNazi Germany ever happen, right?
How could people believe

Alex Stein (19:56):
Yeah.

These things that are so terrible

Sarah Zubiate Bennett: Disgusting. (19:58):
undefined

Yeah. And outrageous and just and then
commit these atrocities becauseof these absurdities that they
believed. And then I saw COVIDand you see how fast people can
be told something and believesomething. And it's just a huge
network of media, many of whichI believe are paid by elements
of our government in order topush all kinds of profit. Well,

(20:22):
it's come out now, right? That'shappened a lot, and I'm sure
it's still even happening. Andyou guys heard of this Project
Mockingbird, I'm sure, where theCIA

Yeah. I think everyone has.

Alex Stein (20:32):
Every media wing, yeah.

Yeah. Now I see some articles, Project
Mockingbird may not have goneaway. Oh, well, no kidding? Duh.
You mean they got caught andthey said, you know what? We
just better stop this. Ofcourse, they don't stop this
action.

Alex Stein (20:47):
Well, they even have a government liaison for movies.
Like, if, you know, they wannause a a real tank, a military
tank that they'll there's a it'slike office of governmental
military Proprietorship.

Ministry of truth.

Alex Stein (20:59):
But there's a liaison where you can get you
can actually use real militaryequipment. And in the movie True
Lies, there's a I forget itwasn't James maybe it was James
Cameron. I forget the director.But the director said, I wanted
to make he wanted to make theterrorists Asian for some reason
or Chinese. And he wanted to usereal military tanks so that he
gives them the script. And theysaid, oh, well, let's use the
tanks. We wanna make one change.We'd like the terrorists to be

(21:22):
Muslim fundamentalistterrorists. He said, okay. No
problem.
If you're gonna let me do this.So the government, that's just a
clear example that's out in theopen of how they can change
stuff. And then this is TrueLies and then shortly
thereafter, you know, the kindof the war on terror. So I'm
just saying that

It makes you think.

Alex Stein (21:37):
It makes you think. It it makes you think. It's like
It

you think.

Alex Stein (21:40):
It kinda they wanna paint a picture of something
before it happens whether

What would people do if they had unlimited amount
of money and absolute power?What might they do? Well, of
course, that's what they have.And human beings are not the
best under those circumstances.No.
And and

Alex Stein (21:55):
the pandemic how you're saying about the
pandemic, I thought that was soweird. How many people didn't
want the pandemic to end? Thatthat just liked it because I I
was watching this this Instagramvideo, and it was it was about
like financial literacy literacyand they did like a sociological
study where they give 200 people$10,000 and and over one year
they tracked it and it was like86% of the people spend it all.

(22:17):
It was like I think it was

It's a high percentage.

Alex Stein (22:19):
It was 10% had that or a little bit more, you know,
like within $500 either way. Andthen 4% turned it from anything
from 10,000 to a milliondollars. So the it's there's a
very few people that 4% of thepeople that kind of remind me
the people that are speaking outagainst COVID. You know what I
It it there's only a few peoplethat are willing to kind of be
bold and take chances. Andduring COVID, we learned that a

(22:40):
lot of people just wanna followwhatever the government tells
them. I hate to describe youguys like this, but they wanted
to be sheep. And I just feellike that was a good litmus test
for people to see if they reallykind of knew what was going on.

Monty Bennett: A lot of people give their (22:55):
undefined
agency. They'll give their theirauthority to someone else and
essentially say, you governmentin this case. And it's not
always just the government, butyou government, you get to
decide Yeah. Whether I walkoutside, or stay inside, or do
this, or do that.

Alex Stein (23:10):
Whether I travel. I mean, it's so ridiculous.

Yeah, crazy. It was a crazy, crazy time.

And now looking forward, because we have
a lot of different, I think,politically divisive elements
that are very, very activetoday, what are some of the
aspects that you're working inpreventing or changing both of
you?

Alex Stein (23:33):
Well, for me, you know, I I noticed I'm kind of
worried after Trump. I'm alittle worried about the kind of
future of the country. I mean,you know, everybody's like JD
Vance and you know, I see Bannonsays he's gonna run. Now Gavin
Newsom's gonna run. So, yep Idon't know I I think Gavin
Newsom would be better thanKamala Harris like I think we'll
get more votes than her but forme I I think that we go they say

(23:55):
the horseshoe theory is like ifyou're too far right or too far
left you kind of end up meetingAnd I guess I I would just kind
of encourage people to be alittle more moderate. Not that
we shouldn't be moreconservative, but I guess just
sometimes conservatives we canbe a little, you know, we can be
a lack of a better word. We canbe a to people on the left and
vice versa. And I think that weneed

It's always a truth. It's always a danger.

Alex Stein (24:15):
Yeah. I think we need to kinda just

Monty Bennett: People dunk, right? They wanna, (24:18):
undefined
you know, spike the ball.

Alex Stein (24:19):
And both sides do it. So I guess just kind of for
me, it's just let's just what isit? Why can't we all be friends
and it sounds so cliche.

It's why can't we all get along?

Alex Stein (24:29):
Yeah. Why can't we all get along?

You're too young to hear I'm

Alex Stein (24:33):
just saying why is it so hard? We really don't hate
each other like, you know, theysay racism is a real problem but
I don't think it's as bad aproblem. When you go to the
grocery store nobody checkingNo. Your But I'm saying it
exists. Like, it's just how dowe how do we cohesively come
together as a society?
So I would encourage people tobe, you know, a little less
judgmental. You know,everybody's so judgy in this
society.

Yeah. Need to take a deep breath, you know,
and relax a little bit. Is whatwe need to do.

Do you think we need to be less judgy,
Monty?

I think that's always helpful. I don't hear of
any situation where things gotbetter because one party got
more judgmental than the others.An interesting dynamic happened
that I did not anticipate, andthat is that as Trump has done
things that are farther right,right? And a lot of things, a
lot of people on the right havewanted, right? Bring order to

(25:20):
Washington DC. It's anembarrassment to go there and to
try to do anything. How is thecity of the greatest country on
Earth? Can't even walk down thestreet. And here he rolls us
out. He's been doing things likethat since he became president
here in the second term,especially. But what it has done
is it has taken one segment ofthe Democratic party to such

(25:46):
levels of crazy. They cannotstand it. They're just so the
the smokes coming out of theirears. They're just so hostile
that while it has the effectmany times of the the boomerang,
you also have a situation whereI believe what's happened in
Democratic Party is, some splitshappening where a good segment

(26:09):
of the Democratic Party issaying, look, I'm more for
butter than guns. Andconservatives are typically more
about guns than butter.
And that's a fair debate tohave. But wait a minute, we're
going to have lawlessness in ourstreets where people are killed
all the time, even though itaffects blacks, 10 to one more

(26:31):
than whites. We're going topretend that that's not
important. But then if a whiteperson kills a black, then
that's the worst thing thathappens on planet. But blacks
can kill blacks. I mean, it'sjust all this absurdity that
happens. And so the negativereaction to it by this core part
of the Democratic Party, I sayDemocratic Party, those on the
far left, they may be part ofthe Democratic Party or not, is

(26:53):
such a reaction and such anoverreaction that I think it's
pushing away. You even look atthe approval in the Democratic
Party now of the party leaders.And those big negatives are
coming from the people on thefar, far, far left because
they're furious that theirleaders aren't creating counter

(27:13):
revolutions, right? Mean, can't.
The president's the president,he's got certain powers, and he
exercises those powers. And someof the left are so upset with
it, and they want their leadersto lead a physical violent
revolution. And of course,that's not going to happen, or
if it does, it won't happen forvery long. And so it's it's
creating a dynamic where you'rekinda having a reverse, effect

(27:36):
on the reverse effect almost. SoI'm interested to see how that
all plays out.

Alex Stein (27:40):
Well, and to your point though, you know, I love
Donald Trump. I love what he'sdoing. January 6 really helped
out. But, you know, this Epsteinstuff was up was a very bad, you
know, public relationsnightmare. And to your point
though, now you see the left.Now all of a sudden, they care
about Jeffrey Epstein eventhough Joe Biden was in office
for four years. They don't evenmention Jeffrey Epstein. They
don't mention it. So it justshows you how they can, you
know, latch on to one thing and,you know, attack it. And so,

(28:03):
obviously, want moretransparency. It's probably
classified where even thepresident can't declassify
something and, you know, I knowthat's not gonna make people
happy. It doesn't make me happy,but I just to your point that
you see that with now all ofsudden, the people on the left
calling for Epsteintransparency, when they were in
power for the last four years,they didn't say a peep about it.

What if this is supposed to happen? What
if this divisiveness and this

Alex Stein (28:23):
Oh, it is.

Pull like full of people

Alex Stein (28:25):
Social engineers, this isn't

supposed to happen. Like, literally, like

According to God's plan?

According to yeah. According

Alex Stein (28:33):
to But God's but I know

But like

Alex Stein (28:35):
the social engineers, they want us
fighting. They want, you know,blacks versus white, women
versus men. Want it.

They want it. They want it.

Alex Stein (28:42):
Once work Once we have conflict, then we can
actually solve the problems.

That's exactly right.

Alex Stein (28:46):
So that that is all done very strategically to make
us fight one another. So that'skind of to my point. It's like
we need to stop fighting somuch. If we don't get anywhere
by fighting, we need to all getalong.

And it's interesting because I know that
you especially use words thatare provocative.

Alex Stein (29:06):
Inflammatory is inflammatory. Well, I grew up
and and this is my thing. It'sso sad because this is this is
this is you'll kinda learn a lotabout my personality. But I used
to when I was a kid, I used tolove Howard Stern. I used to
love the show.
Now I hate Howard Stern, but I Iwas the It's biggest funny. I
was the biggest Howard SternWhat do you

make of that though that, you know, Howard
Stern's gone, and all theseothers on the left especially
seem to be gone. Look, it's notlike overnight everyone became a
conservative, right? Andpolitical change. What do you
make of that of and then we seesome of these late night TV
shows. I love Howard.
Yeah.

Alex Stein (29:42):
Well, I'm a diehard Howard Stern. He was on the

Sarah Zubiate Bennett: Yeah, he's funny. (29:45):
undefined

Alex Stein (29:46):
But but right when 2016, when Trump started to run
for president, this is what mademe so mad because I was a big
Howard Stern fan. Howard wouldhave Donald Trump on all the
time. He would. And and and hewould call Thank you. He would
call Donald so nice. He said,mister Trump that he would kiss
his I mean, mean, more than I'mkissing money, more than I'm
kissing my head. He had kneepads on and then all of sudden

(30:06):
he runs for president and thenhe's the worst guy in the world
and I saw with my own eyes, Isaw those interviews and they
were they were legendaryinterviews. One of them went
viral back in the day becauseDonald Trump said that the Miss
America had gained weight andate her way out of title and
that was a huge thing. And hewas just stating a fact that she
won the thing and then gained 40pounds. But they were laughing
about it. It was a very funnything. Donald was very self

(30:28):
deprecating even in thoseinterviews. He was very open and
honest, and they were you couldtell that they had, like, a, you
know, rapport.

Uh-huh.

Alex Stein (30:36):
And then all of sudden, he's interviewed in
2016. He's having HillaryClinton on. He's not asking
Hillary Clinton about anythingwith FC, not asking her any
hardball questions about herhusband, about Monica. He for
for twenty years, he's beentalking about Monica Lewinsky.
Then he finally gets, you know,Hillary Clinton in there and
doesn't even bring up MonicaLewinsky. So that's when I was
like, Howard has changed. So Idon't know what made him make
that change to where he used tobe very inflammatory and and

(30:58):
that worked for him. And so I'vekinda, you know, modeled myself
a little bit after that. Alittle shock jockey. I know
that's a little cringe, but I Ido think it's effective. It's
effective for him. But once helost that edge, he lost his
popularity.

So you think that was it? Do you think it was
because he caught TDS and

Alex Stein (31:16):
Yeah. He definitely caught TDS, but like I said,
these interviews, I can send youthe clips. Everybody can go
watch them. They're all onYouTube. Mean, they sounded like
they were best freaking friends.

I'm sure they were, at least as much as

Alex Stein (31:28):
they could be.

They could be friends, right? I don't know if
they ran the same circles andeverything. And they certainly
helped each other and gainpopularity and on and on.

I think there's something to be said for
the fact that he probably wasinauthentic. At one point he was
probably authentic in thatrapport with Trump. And then
once the political divide wallkind of came down perhaps that
brainwashing of Trumpderangement syndrome or whatever

(31:56):
happened and allowed hisbusiness to kind of fail. I I I
don't know.

Alex Stein (32:01):
But, Monty, how could a guy with $500,000,000
vote for more taxes? You know?Mean, how could a guy I just
don't understand how a guysuccessful as Howard Stern. And
and you know how Richard Sterndoes every kind of, you know,
gimmick to try to pay like I'mjust, you know, he moved his
house is based in Florida, know,he does every kind of gimmick.
So it's funny he he is now aleft wing champion for all these
causes for your basicallysocialism when he's the most

(32:24):
capitalistic radio You host

grew up there. See that a lot in other places,
right? It's the virtuesignaling, right? Yes. People
love to virtue signal.

Alex Stein (32:31):
That's what everybody does.

And you know, say that they're trying to do all
this help and get the collapseand then nothing happens.

Alex Stein (32:37):
But nobody wants to see a guy virtue signal that you
should throw a baloney onstripper's butts. You know I
mean? It's true. That's not hisjob to virtue signal. Somebody
else let somebody let thepoliticians virtue signal.
You be Howard Stern and and be alibertarian. Because that's what
he used say. Used to say he

was libertarian.

Alex Stein (32:52):
That changed.

Not libertarian. He said he was a
libertarian, I think, in orderfor me to marry him.

Alex Stein (32:57):
Well, I think Monty has a lot of libertarian
viewpoints. I do too.

Libertarian libertarian parts of
conservatism. Yeah. I've gotcertain

Alex Stein (33:04):
For sure. I just want less government. The
federal government getsinvolved, the local government,
it just screws everything up. Itscrews business, more Even, you
know, I was in the car businessbefore, you know, I worked as a
producer and

we Oh my gosh. Were you a used car

Alex Stein (33:15):
salesman? The biggest

I bet you were good.

Alex Stein (33:19):
Oh, I could sell car. I could sell, you know, ice
But to an but I was really inthe wholesale business, I'd like
to buy people's cars. I wouldfix them up, you know, sell them
at the auction or, you know, I'dretail them. But even in the car
business, they made it so hard.Of course, illegal immigrants
could buy cars. You know, theymade it easy for them, but they
just the the paperwork and stuffthat I had to do as a dealer,
they made it just so difficult.And again, I saw it progressive.

(33:42):
In the eight years I was sellingcars, it got progressively
worse. I'm like, gosh.

You know, this is It becomes more difficult to
operate a business Yes. Everyday and to live your life. Every
day. More regulations.Governments is bigger, bigger
than it ever is.
It always grows bigger. And weare going to go the direction of
just about every empire ever,where we are going to collapse
into our own weight

Why do you say these things?

Alex Stein (34:03):
Well, because every I empire know.

But maybe we won't.

I don't know.

Alex Stein: I don't think saying it makes it more likely to happen. (34:08):
undefined
And maybe it encourages peopleto not. But it it's almost
inevitable because everysociety, you know you know, the
the Roman Empire

Oh, we know. We we all know history, I
think,

Alex Stein (34:17):
pretty well.

That's because people get on their knees and
pray to God to be better people,to worship God for who he is,
and to humble themselves and totry to do right for other people
in a selfless way, myselfincluded, not enough. And as a
society, we won't do it asenough and we become more

(34:39):
entitled. Boy, I mean theentitlement we have. We live in
the richest country in therichest times in the history of
the world, right? And we areowed this, we deserve that, it's
not on.
And then we also build our owngovernment bigger, bigger and
give them more and more powerfor one reason or another. And
it's just a formula fordisaster. It's been a terrible

(35:01):
formula for thousands of years,and it's the same terrible
formula. So it's possible thatit's not. I mean, there's this
whole effort of convention ofstates you've probably heard
about where the states can callthe convention.
Mhmm. And in that convention canstrip power away from the
federal government. I think thatmay be our only hope all through
divine intervention of course.And people recommitting their

(35:24):
lives to God and to worshipingGod because it's very bad if we
don't. And you see that over andover and over again.
I mean, you never see a countrywhere they say, what happened?
Well, they really devotedthemselves to God. So everything
fell apart. Right? You neverhear that story.
That never happens. So that'swhat we need to do. We get these

(35:46):
crazy ideas. We get thesecularism. We come up with
these absurdities, right?
I mean, the whole Soviet Unionand these absurdities that they
came up with that's for thepeople and to help everybody,
whether they really believed ornot, were horrible, right? Every
evil deed in the history of theworld has come on the backs of,

(36:06):
quote, the greater good. Oh,well, this is gonna be for the
greater good. Let's go kill allthese people. It's just
horrible.
Respect people. Love people.Sacrifice yourself for other
people. That is what makes asociety great. And that's what
God asks us to do.
So let's do that. So it won'thappen if we do that. So let's

(36:29):
hold on.

Are you emotional?

Alex Stein (36:30):
Yeah. We're getting emotional. Getting emotional
about these things.

I mean, it's it's it's a straightforward formula,
but boy, do we resist.

Alex Stein (36:40):
And and and to everything you said, you know,
very eloquently, America isstill the greatest country on
Earth, and it's still the onlycountry that, you know, a
Mexican guy can come over hereand and, know, paint houses and
become a roofer and become, youknow, successful. And the the
one thing and the reason why Idon't think people are
successful here in America isbecause they're not trying.
Because if you actually put inthe effort, if you actually, you

(37:02):
know, go out there and grind inAmerica, it's almost impossible
to not be successful if you putin the work. And that's why our
country's is our greatestcountry on earth.

And we've got lots of problems. But you're
right. We can choose to look atthe positive or look at the
negative. And in many regards,there's some things about this
country that are the best of anycountry in the history of the
world. And that should becelebrated, not denigrated,
right?
Not pushed against. No, it's notperfect in this. No, it's not
perfect in racism orimmigration, these kinds of

(37:30):
things. But boy, do people havea chance here more so than any
other place, any

Alex Stein (37:36):
other country, history. That's why they all
want to be here.

My gosh that's right. It's my life
story. Mean my family comes fromnothing, nothing. And the only
reason we made successes ofourselves independently is
because of our grit and workethic. And literally it's that.

The countries that won't get you anywhere.

Right. Here at you.

Alex Stein (38:05):
That's why an Asian immigrant could come here and be
incredibly successful. Andthat's why they're incredibly
successful.

Of course.

Alex Stein (38:10):
You know, and that's that's why because they have a
good culture around it andthey're self starter. So anybody
can come to this country and besuccessful if you're willing to
work hard.

And one last thing that I kind of want
to leave with because I saw Manigetting emotional over there.
Mani and I are part of a kind ofa network of people of believers
who I mean are very faithabiding and I want to think that
we both are at this point in ourlives. But these people can see

(38:39):
into the supernatural, one inparticular. Like, can see
angels, demons, like we see eachother here. This person is
really profound.

Alex Stein (38:54):
You know, there's frequencies that we can't hear
with

our ears, that

Alex Stein (38:56):
a dog can hear. There's stuff we can't with see
our eyes that animals can see.So that means there's stuff
around us right now that wecan't see anymore.

And this person can.

Alex Stein (39:04):
Yeah.

And they have spoken about the the dark
darkness of force of of spirits,demons.

Alex Stein (39:13):
The devil's real.

Mean, hovering over the city of
Dallas. And I mean, it's justinsane not to believe the way we
do now because we have thesepeople in our lives that are
like and the healing that we'veboth experienced from all of
this kind of

Revelation.

Yeah, revelation and deliverance. I
mean, it is nothing short of amiracle how our lives have been
transformed. And the radicalaspects of life that people
aren't willing to accept whenit's right among us at all
times.

No. You hit it right. Evil is real. It's real.
It's real.
And and a a big problem is thatmany people won't think that it
exists. Yeah. And that's

It's real.

Alex Stein (40:00):
That's even even this sounds even crazy. We can
go with that crazy like, there'speople in Louisiana went to LSU.
I I didn't practice it, likepeople practicing black magic
and some Oh, yes. It's real.People think people think we're
joking.
And then, you know, there's aguy, you know, Jimmy Seville. He
was the he was knighted by thequeen. He was, you know, Prince
Charles's alleged best friendand he was the host of a show

(40:21):
called Top of the Pops. He was abig show in the sixties. And
after his death, you know, he hewas kind of like a Jeffrey
Epstein situation.
They found out what he wasdoing. And listen what he would
do. He would go he was a porterat the World Children's
Hospital. And they would takebodies out of the morgue. And
they would take these bodies onboats.
And they would do SRA, satanicritualistic abuse, where they
would do occult practices Ofcourse. To give them power. And

(40:41):
these are the most powerfulpeople in the world. That's I'm
just saying there is somethingto that. If you sell your soul
to the devil, you might besuccessful, but that's a real
contract you signed to thedevil.
I know people like to think thatthat's cliche or that's a joke.
It's not a joke. I would notmess with the there's Yeah.
There's God is real and thedevil is real and and I would
not mess around. Like, peoplemight think, oh, you an atheist

(41:02):
is gonna listen to this andthink we're Looney Tunes, but
you're the Looney Tunes becausethere is a lot of real,
metaphysical stuff that we can'tsee and and that we can't see
around us, but it is around us.

Oh,

yeah. Absolutely. I I was in treatment
for workaholism and all thisstuff for forty days. And I saw
a woman's face distorting. Noone else could see it.
She was there for suicidalideations.

Alex Stein (41:25):
And

I saw her face distorting like the
dementors from Harry Pottersucking her face. I called Monty
that night and I was like, youneed to pray for me. You need to
send like absolute protection.Know what I saw. This is
happening.
It's real. Fast forward the nextday, I felt put upon me after I
slept with my freaking bibleover my chest that night. And in

(41:50):
this low of my life, I know whatI saw. I had just a desire to
tell this woman, listen, I knowthat you're suffering from
wanting to kill yourself. It'sevil within you.
I mean, don't know if you'veopened yourself up spiritually
to forces that that you are notaware of. And then she tells me,

(42:14):
I'm a member of the satanictemple. No. Swear. Wow.
That's You cannot make this up.

Alex Stein (42:20):
That's weird.

First satanist I ever met.

And you didn't even know that.

Didn't know.

Alex Stein (42:24):
Can feel

the energy. I believe it. Saw it.

Alex Stein (42:26):
Well, we're all energetic beings and and they
they say this is woo woo, butit's like, with your high
vibrational, you're morepositive. For sure. You're gonna
be attracted to more, you know,high vibrational people. When
you're low vibrational andconstantly depressed, you're
gonna be attracted to more lowYes. Vibrational people.
So you can feel people'senergies. That's spooky.

It's spooky and it's real because I'm
not someone who can seeeverything so clearly, but

And and and there's Oh, it

Alex Stein (42:47):
is real.

To Sarah's point It's real. I don't see into the
spiritual realm. But there's anumber of people, not just this
one people she's

Alex Stein (42:55):
But, Monty, you don't feel God?

Number of people.

Alex Stein (42:57):
You don't you don't

feel God? Oh, I I can feel. I can feel sometimes.

Alex Stein (42:59):
I don't see anything, but I can I can like
feel God?

But I know some people can see, and they see,
and they will describe the samething that someone else will see
that I can't see. And so thiswhole realm is real, and it
exists. And it's not a smallnumber of people Mhmm. That can
see into this realm. But Mhmm.
Boy, will our society push thatoff to the side and try to

(43:25):
pretend that that didn't exist.

Alex Stein (43:26):
But that's

the number

Alex Stein (43:27):
one thing. They wanna push it aside. God. That's
I'm just saying that's like thethat's where that's kind of the
root of all this evil.

That's right.

I did not expect this to take this turn.

Alex Stein (43:35):
I think I kinda took it I this hear crazy and blue
eyeing different, but I But herewe go. I I like talking about
it, you know. I I do believe inthe Bible, like, you know, let's
Let's end it on a realconspiracy. I love reading all
the conspiracies about Nephilim,the giant

Oh my gosh. That's not a conspiracy.

Alex Stein (43:50):
That's not a conspiracy.

The Nephilim are real.

Alex Stein (43:52):
I know crap. I'm saying, duh, we had giants on
earth and why don't we see thesebones? So there's a lot they're
not telling us about

our origins. Genesis chapter six talks all
about the Netflix.

Alex Stein (44:02):
David and Goliath. I mean, who's Goliath?

Of course. You

Alex Stein (44:04):
know? Of course. Come on. So

And we we've been talking in our family. There's a
a a book that didn't make thecut to make the Bible. Mhmm. And
it's the

Alex Stein (44:12):
book of Enoch.

Yeah. Goes big time into the watchers of the
Nephilim and and all these kindsof things. So, yeah.

You're

Alex Stein (44:19):
I'm dialed into it. Everybody needs to. I know some
of you atheists watching rightnow are gonna say, at these
three, but you guys look intoit. I mean, I I really encourage
you to do your own research onthis. And I know we sound a
little weird, but everythingwe're saying is

Maybe we invite Alex to our this weekend.
Yeah. Why don't you come to ourranch this weekend?

Yeah. It's getting more weird than than him
talking about, you know, peoplewith peacups, you know.

Alex Stein (44:41):
Oh, yeah.

Thought it was hilarious,

but it's so weird. Right? I mean,

Alex Stein (44:45):
it's true. The point I was trying to make It's true.
Funny is this asymmetricalproblem because really if a
trans woman, you know, a womantransitioning to a male walking
to the men's bathroom, Iwouldn't care.

Yeah. Most guys like whatever.

Of course.

Alex Stein (44:56):
But it's women having men in dresses
Absolutely. That's the problem.

Absolutely. It's big problem. Yeah. And it's it's
a danger for women and forgirls. Yeah.
And and and just pretend thatit's not is absurd. And we need
to protect those that are in oursociety that need protection.
Women to a certain extent, andespecially children.

Alex Stein (45:14):
Yeah.

This and I'm just going to end this one
really quick story. There wasthis woman or man who followed
my son into the bathroom atSebby's. And this man, it was
something, I guess vibrationalenergy, an angel whatever God
said get up. I went over to myson because I saw this man

(45:37):
following him into the bathroom.And this odd couple, I had
watched a series of theirexchanges all day, and this one
person that we were with who hasthis ability to see.
Anyway, I chased my son over tothe bathroom. It was a man in
there with him, right? Ofcourse. Yeah. And I said, Lewis,
Lewis, are you okay?
And the man answered. And hesaid, he's right here. He's just

(46:00):
fine. Lewis told me this man hadhim in the corner, and he's
like, mommy, I don't know whathe was gonna do to me. He
stopped.
He stopped the second he heardyour voice. So Lewis went in
there to use the restroom. Iguess they were at the urinal
urinal. This man kind of cornershim. Here's the thing, men are

(46:22):
categorically, statistically thepeople who cause harm.
Yeah, woman can't rape her.Exactly.

Alex Stein (46:31):
If you

have this happening, of course. And so my
son just ran out and he waslike, that was a God thing that
you came because I don't knowwhat he was going to do. He was
terrified.

Alex Stein (46:41):
That's weird.

And I was like, I will kill him. I carry
everywhere I go. I had to getthe family out of there, get my
friend out of there. And myfriend or the person that was
with us who has these giftssaid, an evil like a dark blob,
it doesn't even matter. The evilis out there, yes.

(47:02):
But children, women cannotdefend themselves against fully
grown men on average. Yeah. Arethe few that can.

I ask a few women out there, you know, if they
carry or so. Why would a womanever walk around if if I walked
around in public and there werepeople that twice my size that
constantly wanted to do harm tome or have sexual relations with
me against my will, I'd carryevery single day. I wouldn't

(47:34):
trust these. Maybe you guys gotto get in the head of a man and
understand how depraved men arebecause I would never be out
there as a woman withoutcarrying a gun

Same.

All the time. Same. Because It's evil. Men are
imbued with this aggression thatbrings about great harm. Right?
And you can see it in the jails.Men aren't discriminated against
when it comes to arrests. Theycommit more crimes.

Alex Stein (48:01):
Well, and money somebody Google this real quick.
In June, was 200 people werearrested for with child sex
trafficking here in Dallas, andit was not even a national
story. Was 200 people. They theycalled it operation It's gonna
bug me.

You must have read it on the Dallas Express.

Alex Stein (48:16):
Oh, yeah. It was yours. Yeah. Yeah. I think I
did.
Yo. And what I'm saying is, sowe have hundreds of kids, and
hundreds of sex traffickersgetting caught in Dallas. Like,
it is a more prevalent problemthan the media than anybody will
tell you. They think, oh, it'sonly a couple people. You know,
it's called some operation.
What is it called? What is it?

Ceteria Shield.

Alex Stein (48:35):
Yeah. The Ceteria Shield. So this so this happened
in Dallas where the CeteriaShield, they they arrested 250,
sex traffickers and a 109children in just Dallas.

That's right.

Alex Stein (48:49):
So this is a very serious

You talk about emotional.

Texas Senator Crimes Against Yep.
Child Task Force. Uh-huh. Yeah.More than 70 Texas law
enforcement agencies.

Alex Stein (48:58):
So And that wasn't a huge story. That was, you know,
Dallas Express. I'm saying,know, you you didn't see that on
NBC News. You didn't see that

NBC about the media.

Well, the the left won't make a lot of hay
over this. The left, the mediaoutlets that aren't left won't
make a lot of hay typically oversex trafficking stuff. That's
And it's very concerning to me.It's weird. And it's weird.

Yeah, it's not on the Dallas Morning
News.

Alex Stein (49:26):
The coyotes taking the kids across the border.
Exactly.

And they won't tell these stories. So
Monty and I both started theDallas Express because there
were stories not being told.

Alex Stein (49:39):
Yeah a lot.

And a lot was misinterpreted and just
distorted about And even my ownat that point during COVID it
was a necessity to start anoutlet that would actually be
truthful. And then just theother day you were who did you
say? MSNBC or NBC?

Alex Stein (50:00):
MSNBC. Well, you see they changed? Now they're going
to MS N and they're changing nowto MS now. They just announced
today. Are you seeing that?
I did not see Yeah. That thisThey're rebranding actually. And
I don't know if that video hadanything to with it but isn't
that a weird timing?

I think it may means they're gonna lose even
more money.

Alex Stein (50:17):
Yeah. Oh, yeah. That that Rachel Maddow is our only
host, and I know her showscan't, you know, be that
profitable, and she's theirnumber one host. And I'm friends
with Tucker. I'm wearing theTucker hat, and he actually
talks, you know, nicely aboutRachel Maddow.
So she is a talentedbroadcaster, but nobody Jordan
Reed's not. Jordan Reed

polite to come on my wife's show wearing someone
in the suit.

Alex Stein (50:33):
Think it's fine. Think it is. I gotta plug them.
Think it's fine. Well, know,know.
I did go to Cotillion at DallasCountry Club, but I I'm not I
don't think you graduated. Yeah.That's what I'm saying. Didn't
graduate. I don't think it'sbad.

I I like Tucker. And

Alex Stein (50:48):
just like

it's like coming out here and just like slapping
you across the face.

Alex Stein (50:51):
No. No. It's not. Maybe Tucker will share it and
then the podcast will blow up.It's just a joke.
No. I'm just kidding.

We are in the top 1% of

Alex Stein (50:58):
Texas. Funny you say that.

Money though, you do

Alex Stein (51:01):
have a good point because I wear this hat on my
show sometimes and the CEO ofBlaze is like, why do you wear a
Tucker Carlson hat? I shouldn'thave

a Blaze hat on.

Alex Stein (51:08):
Yeah. Know. And and he said that I go, well, I don't
wanna wear my you know, like aband wouldn't wear their own
band shirt. You know, Van Halenwouldn't wear a Van Halen shirt.
So I'm like, I can't wear my ownshirt.

So quickly, what are your plans for
expanding your cause and yourefforts? Because as I sit with
you here, you are a really goodperson.

Alex Stein (51:27):
Well, I appreciate that.

But it's interesting because I was like,
I can't wait to sit with himbecause I I know how edgy he is.
And I love edgy people. I amdrawn to edgy people. So what
are your plans?

Alex Stein (51:38):
Well, for me, in this upcoming semester, I work
for the Blaze, but I also workfor Turning Point USA. Uh-huh.
And they're great, you know,conservative organization. And I
have a tour. I'm going to 10colleges this semester.
So I'm going to, where I'm goingto Rutgers. I'm going to, UC San
Diego. I'm going to Oklahoma.I'm going to University of

(51:59):
Florida. Where else am I?
I I don't know. I gotta look atmy calendar. But on these
campuses, I do a lot of debates.Mhmm. And I just started doing
those debates.
Turning Point just startedletting me do the debates last
semester. And that stuff iseverybody has a podcast. I have
a podcast. You have a podcast.People like podcasts.
But really, sadly, we've kind ofdevolved as a society where we
just wanna see people argue. Ihate to admit it. I hate to

(52:21):
admit it. That's like the whatgets the most clicks and that
because I'm very aware of what'spopular on the Internet. And so
those videos started to blow upfor me last semester.
So I'm gonna go to thesecampuses, talk to these college
kids because that's actuallylike for me, I feel like I'm
actually doing some good insociety because I'm making kids
ask questions and a lot and nowwhen I was in college, most kids
weren't very political, but Inoticed on college campuses,

(52:43):
there are a lot more there are alot more political than they
were when I was there. So thesekids are more involved. They're
more willing to debate. They'remore willing to have these
conversations, and I thinkdebate, debating these issues,
no matter the issue, is the bestthing we can do for society. So
my goal is to, in the next sixmonths, create a lot of good
debate content and hopefully,know, kind of stir up some drama
and bring some attention to, youknow, social issues that I think

(53:06):
need attention.

Great. Great. And Monty, what about
you? You have so much happeningright now with

I've got enough I'm doing. I don't need to go do
anything else. I'm the hotelindustry, which still hasn't
recovered from COVID. It's justa challenge.

Alex Stein (53:20):
What do you think about Vegas? Sorry to cut you
off. They say it's 6% down, butthen they say it's up. What do
you think about that?

It's interesting, isn't it? Well, you definitely
have a downturn ofinternational.

Alex Stein (53:31):
Right? Yeah. Huge. 20 18% down from Canada. But
this is the thing.
As they say there's a 6% hoteloccupancy, it's usually 2%. Is
that that that's that huge of adifference when it goes from 2%?
Oh, yes. I'm saying I know.

Relatively small changes. Hotels have a high
degree of operating leverage. Soa 5% change in revenues can mean
everything on the bottom line.Wow. And Vegas is getting
crushed.
And I think it has a lot to dowith a lot of things. But a lot
of people aren't traveling toThe United States because they
have this anti Trumpism, andthey're not going to come. And
we see it with the Canadians andall these other kinds of things.

(54:06):
So it's it's tough. And thewhole industry has still not
recovered from

Alex Stein (54:11):
COVID.

COVID. It bounced back somewhat. But I think just
last year, the revenues of theindustry hit the revenues from
2019. But the problem is is thatthe costs are up 50% higher.

Alex Stein (54:26):
See that?

Yeah. And your and interest rates are up much,
much higher. So it is thesqueeze. It's been the squeeze
in the industry for some time.

Alex Stein (54:34):
Yeah. I'm just surprised because, you know,
they even say the gamblingnumbers are about the same, but
that that 4% drop and they saythat 18% less Canadians is
killing the the industry in inVegas right now. Sad.

I mean It is. It's really sad.

Alex Stein (54:45):
I love a city like Vegas. You know, know it's in
city or whatever, but it isstill it's like New York classic
City. It's American It's

shows, everything.

Alex Stein (54:53):
And like the that's what makes you mad the
international travelers don'twanna come there. That is like
the the theme park city, youknow, and it's you get to, you
know, you get to experience, Youhave the fine dining to
McDonald's and everything inbetween. So it's just, you know,
I think we need Vegas and NewYork to come back, hopefully.
But I don't know if they will.

Or just make Dallas the next

Alex Stein (55:11):
Make Dallas. Slash New York. What do you think
about that? Now they're tryingto do the gambling. I don't I
don't know.
What do you think, Monty? Thethe legal gambling. That's
that's not a you know,

you're hijacking this podcast, aren't you?

Alex Stein (55:22):
Yeah. A little bit. Well, I just

Both of them. I Both of them are

Alex Stein (55:25):
trying to conduct the podcast. It's fine. They
turned off the cameras a half an

hour ago, so don't worry about that. There
you go. I do have thelibertarianism side and want to
just let things be, but you'veto look at when gambling comes
into a city, how has that helpedthings? How has things turned
out to be so much better becauseit's there when it wasn't there

(55:53):
to begin with. And there'salways these promises of, oh,
we're going to take all thismoney, we're going go use it for
the schools, for the children.
We're going use it for thechildren. Everything's for the
children. We're going do theseterrible things, but it's for
the children. And gambling,they're going to help. But no
one says, you know, I'm goingVegas, move there, because the
schools are fantastic around.

Alex Stein (56:13):
That's true.

It is true.

Alex Stein (56:15):
Yeah, I'm going to Vegas for the school.

Yeah, right. And so when I look at it, I think,
good is going to happen? Yes,people will be more entertained,
as if we need more of that. ButOkay, they're going be more
entertained. But how is it goingto solve and help address some
of our problems?
And I just don't see it, right?I just don't see it. So
everything around here seemsfine. And don't walk outside my
house saying, gosh, I wish Icould go play the slots. Can't.

(56:40):
Mean, so

people can drive up to the

Alex Stein (56:41):
Yeah, Oklahoma or I think that is better to keep it
like that.

It's there. And again, some people want it and
like it, that's fine. And talkabout the economic activity that
it brings. But it's not likeDallas Fort Worth can handle the
people moving here already.We're having crazy growth.
If we were Detroit, okay. Well,okay. Let's talk about it. But
so I just don't see the overallneed for it. What how is our

(57:07):
society better because of it?
And and I just don't see it. SoAnd it's kinda where

Alex Stein (57:13):
I am. And this is coming from a guy. I like to
play poker. I like to gamble alittle bit. My my one of my best
friends is a guy, Tim Pool.
We love to sit and we'll playpoker all night. You know? I'm
not a huge huge gamer. I justit's kinda more of a social
thing. But it just to what Mannysaid, it's like, it's he's out
in outside of DC, so we'll goplay poker in Charlestown, West
Virginia.
In that city, they don't haveanything else going on. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You know what mean? ButDallas, I just I see the MGM

(57:36):
that we go sometimes the one inDC, and you just see it's right
there by DC a lot of brokendreams, and that's in a major
metropolitan city. So I can seeif you're in a small town, maybe
they can have a casino. Theydon't have anything going on.
But in Dallas, DC, think it'sonly gonna it's gonna be a
nightmare for most people towalk in there and lose
everything they got.

It sure sure seems that way. Yeah. We don't
need more bad habits to develop.I certainly don't need anymore.

No, no. Neither of us do. But I mean, at
this point, it doesn't seem likeit's gonna happen. Right?

Alex Stein (58:03):
No, I don't think so.

No. But they're not gonna

Alex Stein (58:05):
stop. Neither.

Yeah, there's a lot of money

behind it. Very wealthy. Yeah. And they're very
determined. Yep.
And I don't know if they'llthey're not gonna give up
anytime soon, don't think. Sowe'll see. We'll see.

Alex Stein (58:16):
And what blew my mind, I remember it's 2012 or
2010. I forget the exact year,but that's when, know, the
stadium was built. I forget whatyear it opened, the the Cowboys
Stadium. Maybe it was 2010, but,you know, shortly after they
built that Texas Live becausethey wanted that to be a
DraftKings back when Jerry Joneswas really involved with
DraftKings. And Jerry couldn'tget it done, then I don't know
if anybody can get it

Are we on a first name basis now?

Alex Stein (58:36):
What? Jerry Jones.

Oh. What? I thought you'd call him, like,
mister Jones or something.

Alex Stein (58:40):
No. No. Oh, no.

Who calls Jerry Jones?

Alex Stein (58:42):
Jerry. Mister Jones.

Say Jerry.

I'm just hanging out with Jerry.

Alex Stein (58:46):
Well, you know what I mean. I mean, I'm such a
diehard Cowboys fan. That's myother complaint. This is the
other problem in our city,Manny. And I'm not even kidding.
Sorry to point you. This wouldsolve so many of our problems,
and you think I'm kidding if theDallas Cowboys could win a Super
Bowl because you were here inDallas when you remember you
remember the energy? Absolutely.Whether you like football or
not, you go to the gas station,people are in a better mood. At
the

It's true.

Alex Stein (59:08):
Seriously, people are like, oh the Cowboys, you
read the newspaper even though astory's around it. If the damn
Dallas Cowboys win, it's beenthirty years.

We need another we need like a counseling
session here.

Alex Stein (59:19):
Mean There

was so much anger residual anger.

How he opened the the entire thing at
the state ledge? He was like,some people will say that I'm
anti And then like, but I'm aDallas Cowboys fan and I was
like, yes. Because they're justnot

Alex Stein (59:33):
They're worst run team and Jerry. And this is the
other thing is, you know, mycomplaint, I don't hope money's
not good friends with Jerry, I Ilisten. The Jones family,
they're great, but they're notgood at running a football team.
You know, I

assume I think everyone would agree

Alex Stein (59:44):
with that. Soon as Jimmy Johnson left, it's like,
Jerry, you were a SpinGali ofyour first, ten years or five
years, then all of sudden wehaven't won a Super Bowl in
thirty years. They need to maybehire somebody to run the team.

You'd think.

Alex Stein (59:57):
You'd think. You'd think. Right.

Sarah Zubiate Bennett (01:00:01):
Well you guys, this has been very
entertaining. I was expecting alittle more shock value, but
this has been good.

Alex Stein (01:00:08):
Are you kidding? I'm gonna come in here on your
podcast and we want me to breakthis up.

No, no. This is good. I was glad that we
even kind of took that littledeviation towards over the
supernatural and faith spacebecause I was not expecting
that.

That's the most interesting stuff to me too is,
you know Yeah. Like you talkedabout the Nephilim, Book of
Enoch. There's a lot of stuffinformation out there that Oh,
yeah. It sounds a little, like Isay, woo woo and weird, but just
look into it. There's peoplethat have been practicing stuff
a lot longer than us and, you

Monty Bennett (01:00:33):
know Well, does until they say, oh, yeah.
Beneath the pyramids, by theway, there's a two kilometer
structure underneath therethat's been there two thousand
years. Like, what? How is thiseven possible?

And then

you just flip the news and you just keep on going.
Right? So everything's strangeuntil it's not.

And there's been so much stuff too. In Turkey,
there's this thing Gobekli Tepe,and there's this new thing. And
they say maybe that was whereNoah's Ark landed because
there's, you know, it's theoldest I read that. You look
into it. It's very interesting.
The guy, Jimmy Corsetti, does alot of good work on it and he
does he's a pyramid expert. Hegoes to Egypt and the oldest
church, Gobekli Tepe and andthere's a there's a shrine to

(01:01:12):
the animals, to these animalsthat they would sacrifice. And
they say that maybe those arethe animals from Noah's Ark. And
this sounds crazy too. There wasdefinitely a big flood at some
point on

the Oh, I so much evidence of

that. So

And Gobekli Tepe. They Tepe. Yeah. Tepe. It's like
22,000 years old.

Yeah, that makes sense. It changes the whole
narrative.

Yeah, they say wait a minute, people weren't
supposed to be able to buildtemples back then. And this is
what science is, right? They'reso so sure of something, so so
sure of something. Then whenthey say, oh, did we say that
forever? Sorry, we didn't meanthat.
This is the real story. But thenif you try to challenge it, in
the meantime, you're a heretic,you're so stupid, you don't know
anything.

The Shroud of Turin, just on the
Tucker show recently.

Yeah, that's right.

The Shroud of Turin, came from the 1200s,
1300s, if it's not real. And nowthe guy comes out and he's got
this whole thing he did onTucker. I'm sure you saw it.

No, was great.

Yeah. I know. They took a patch of the corner.
That's why it's twelve, thirteenhundred.

That's right.

Here's all the evidence why

Did you watch it?

Yeah. But this is my favorite thing, though. Oh, of
course, that was a greatinterview. But this my favorite
thing though. Or not favoritething, this is what makes me so
mad.
Is that they say that we evolvedfrom monkeys, but we have no
transitional species.

That's right.

I think there'd be millions of fossils of our
transitional species. I just Godcreated us. Just I have no doubt
in my mind about that.

What was that guy's name? Jeremiah Johnson or
Jedediah? I think it wasJedediah. Jedediah.

Think that was on the show.

Yeah. Jedediah. Jedediah? Jedediah.
Jedediah.

Jedediah Johnson.

That's kind

of a cool name, isn't it? Yeah. Sounds like a
sounds like hung out with DavyCrockett, right?

Yeah. And he

was on the Wild Frontier. Jedidiah Johnson.

Jedidiah with a straw. Yeah.

I mean it was interesting. And I've known
for years that I had the sameblood type as Jesus. Because it
was the same as what was on theShroud. But I just appreciate
you all coming on. There's lotsthat I didn't get to but I think
we have some good stuff.
Thank you.

Well have me back anytime. We can get into it. I
really appreciate you having meon.

Thank you.

Great having you on the show. Great being on the
show. It's been a while.

It has been a while.

Did an outstanding job on the show,
love. People

I was quite a lot because I think I
have two additional interviewerswith me here today.

You do. I do.

People people tell me all the time how much
they love your show, love. And Ilove it. Thank you. It's
fantastic.

And I'm telling you, I appreciate you. I mean that. I
appreciate you guys having on.

Thank you. Thank you.
