Actor, speech writer and author Ben Stein joined Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV to discuss the status of the presidential race.

Ben Stein: They say she’s so smart. Let’s see it on display… Even Mr. Nixon, my old boss and old pal, in the darkest days of watergate was taking press conferences, and I mean press conferences with hundreds of reporters. Why? What is she afraid of? That’s the question. She’s afraid of something. What’s she afraid of?

Steve Malzberg: What do you think of this health thing? We put up a picture earlier of her on Nantucket over the weekend at a fundraiser in a long coat and black pants. I mean, on Nantucket in August, Ben!

Ben Stein: Right. I think part of that is the story that she’s always wearing a bulletproof vest. That may have something to do with it. But I don’t think she looks well. When you see pictures of her face I hate to say this my poor dear mother had Lupus and she was taking powerful hydrocortisone and Mrs. Clinton looks to me like she’s taking hydrocortisone.
