Ben Stein Ferris Bueller

It’s been 30 years since Ben Stein’s dry, droning roll call in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” but that iconic line is still regularly quoted by fans of the cult classic. Remarkably, Stein says he didn’t even consider himself an actor when he delivered that infamous scene. The former lawyer says he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.“Talk about good luck,” Stein tells “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” in the above clip.

“One of the people I met when I was first out here, they said ‘We’re making a movie called “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and we’d like you to read the roll off-camera.’ Under John Hughes’ direction, Stein read the roll again. The cast laughed even harder, Stein says. “[Hughes] said, ‘Alright, I want you to do a scene – just make it up in your head, don’t even tell it to me, in which you’re teaching about some current economic event and some controversy.’

Ben Stein Expelled

Author, actor and political commentator Ben Stein poses the argument that intelligent design and evolution are both valid scientific explanations for the development of life on earth, and that institutions that don’t embrace both views are guilty of stifling academic freedom. Stein makes his case through film clips, interviews with creationists and scientists and his own acerbic observations, including the opinion that Darwin’s theory of evolution is partially responsible for the Holocaust.

Stein is also a filmmaker. He co-wrote and starred in the 2008 documentary Expelled, which portrays intelligent design (which some associate with creationism) as a scientifically valid alternative to Darwinian evolution and alleges a scientific conspiracy against those promoting intelligent design in laboratories and classrooms. Stein said that his aim was to expose “people out there who want to keep science in a little box where it can’t possibly touch God.”

Ben Stein On Trump

Stein’s sense of humor was very much evident in a talk that warmed up the audience with a stream of jokes. But after that, he got down to business, and a grim business it was. After cataloging ills ranging from slavery to the 2008 economic meltdown that the United States has survived, only to see new problems crop up, he concluded “What have we learned? Things are very uncertain.”

Then he launched into what he sees as the most pressing problems confronting the nation today. First on his list was the deficit. “It’s getting out of control,” he said. He had harsh words for President Donald Trump’s tax cuts.

“You cannot expect to cut taxes drastically and expect to have more revenue,” he said. “It can’t be done. It’s the Republican answer to the Green New Deal. It’s a childish fantasy.”As for the Democrats’ Green New Deal and Medicare for All proposals, if they were enacted “we will be bankrupt instantly,” Stein said. Come to that, “we’re bankrupt right now” if we add up all the country owes in bond payments, Medicare, Social Security, and other benefits, he said.

“We are living in a Pollyannaish best of all possible worlds but it can’t go on,” he said. Stein also raised red flags about the U.S. education system, for which he said the country pays more and gets less than other developed nations, and loosening marijuana laws. His pal tycoon Warren Buffett says the country will get through these problems just as it has the ones that preceded them, Stein said.
