from 99% Nvisible t1

If you live in an American city and you don’t personally use a wheelchair, it's easy to overlook the small ramp at most intersections, between the sidewalk and the street. Today, these curb cuts are everywhere, but fifty years ago -- when an activist named Ed Roberts was young -- most urban corners featured a sharp drop-off, making it difficult for him and other wheelchair users to get between blocks without assistance.

Alex Stein will take you on an unscripted roller coaster ride that mocks political correctness and takes on the liberal world order with courage and humor. Stein became an overnight sensation with his outrageous and over-the-top trolling of the Left — like when he crashed a woke city council meeting while wearing a woman’s one-piece bathing suit to demand that he be allowed to compete against female swimmers. When it comes to politics these days, sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from crying — and “Prime Time with Alex Stein” will leave you in stitches.
