(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson White House trying to figure
out why swing state voters don't seemto be on Biden's side. It's the
economy, stupid. We can sithere talk immigration. That's going to be
a big deal, there's no doubtabout that. But it's the economy.

(00:30):
We say it a thousand times.You go to bed at night. Are
you worried about what? How amI going to pay my bills? Who
am I going to have to calltomorrow to see if I get an extension
on something? Who can I delay? Who can I pay a portion to?
How am I going to afford this? The kids need this. That's
what people worry about. It's alwaysat the top of the list, and

(00:51):
right now it is definitely up there. No matter what people think in the
White House or in DC or it'slike we should have good news, look
at the economy, look at this. People struggle with that because every day
they go to work, every singleday, pay some money for game,
get some food. They've got bills. That stuff doesn't go away. They

(01:11):
see what gas costs, they seewhat goods cost. You can tell me
things are great, but I'm notkeeping up with anything, let alone the
Joneses. It's no way around notliving check the check. We all live
in check the check at this pointbecause you want to live in a good
neighborhood, right, you don't wantto live in a hood. Bills and
all this shit is not doing nothingbut going up. The average apartment one

(01:34):
bedroom is like fifteen sixteen hundred dollars, especially if you living on your own.
That's what makes it twice as harder. That's why people always try to
go out for like a second sourceof income, really just to have some
free money. Now, guy's bringingthat. Guy's speaking for a lot of
people. He's not done speaking.We'll get them in a second. I'm

(01:56):
telling you guys right now that youknow we we And again the state numbers,
we talked about it yesterday. Trumpleads in six of the seven.
It's a tie in the seventh,and some of them he leads well past
the the you know the margin forair. And these are likely voters,
so not just a blanket thing.These are seven states that will decide this
election. Now, things can change, are we already know that. And

(02:19):
we're a nation of reaction in manycases. So if something horrific happens because
there's a terror attack traces back tothe border, that'll be the number one
thing that took place, and peoplewill react in that I mean that way.
That's that's reactionary, and we dothat. But once that, you
know, dies down, if youwill, we go right back at it.
David Shallion CNN. What's underneath thosehorse race numbers, Well, a

(02:43):
really dismal approval rating of President JoeBiden. He's at thirty eight percent approval,
sixty percent disapproved. That's across allseven of the battleground states. How
does that compare with Trump's approval ratingin terms of asking people now how Trump
handled the presidency and this you seea much more evenly divided nation here.

(03:05):
Fifty one percent approve of the wayDonald Trump handled his job as president,
forty seven percent disapprove. Across thesebattleground states. Well, this is a
trouble sign for the Biden campaign becauseacross the seven states in this Wall Street
Journal poll, only thirty six percentsay that the strength of the economy is
excellent or good. Sixty three percent. Nearly two thirds of Americans in these

(03:25):
seven decisive states say not so goodor poor. That's not a helper,
and when you look at those numbersright now again today, things can change.
Still a long way to go,and with both of these guys being
elderly, it's a very long wayto go. When you look at these
numbers and you've got thirty nine percentapproval rating for Biden and a fifty one

(03:47):
percent for Trump, it's tough.It's the economy, stupid, Continue sir
from your aunt earlier about how expensivelife is and how you live in paycheck
to paycheck. Okay, let's sayyou work too, you work two jobs,
you don't have no sacking time toyourself because when you're away from the
first job that you're at, you'rethinking about going to the damn second job,

(04:09):
or you gotta get ready to goto that second job. The economy
nine days is like it's to thepoint where it's meant for us to struggle.
Like, I'm off making twenty fivedollars an hour back in in twenty
fourteen, that's got there fifty anhour. Now twenty five dollars an hour
is like sixteen dollars an hour,Like what the fuck? It's not happy.

(04:29):
Understand them, and we'll get tothe frustration of wages in a second,
because this is where you know,they talk about inflation going down,
but remember inflation isn't going down.The rate of inflation is slower, but
then it's sped up in the lastmonth. One of the other things that
goes on that they never talk aboutis wages versus inflation, and we'll get

(04:53):
to that in a second. Let'sjust continue, sir. You already gotta
worry about rent, and then yougotta worry about bills outside of your house,
phone bill, car not and youknow it's a low to have insurance,
and that ain't even half of thebills that majority of us got.
That's why it'd be so hard toyou know, save money and just maintain

(05:14):
a good living. At least,I get it, you got to work
without looking at the clock. Butgod, a lot of people feel that
way. Now, let's get tothe wages thing, and I don't.
And it's tough explaining, you know, I try to break it down and
keep it simple, stupid, whichis it's the invisible tax. Right,
Prices go up inflation. All thestuff we've talked about inflation is natural.

(05:35):
Things are gonna bet a little bitmore expensive, but they were you know,
through COVID and all this stuff,we've continued to see inflation continued rise.
And when people say well it's comingdown, it's not coming down.
The rate of infati is slowing incertain areas. Then it picked back up
again. But they'll say, well, wages are up. Wages. So
if your wages are up over thelast three years ten percent, you didn't

(05:57):
keep up with inflation. You lostmoney. It's a tax you don't see,
but you feel. And let memake the wage point. I've made
it with you before. Biden's achillesheel has been the decline in real wages
because prices have risen much faster thanwages, especially essentials like groceries and energy.

(06:17):
This is an absolute killer. Thetax you don't see. People say
I got a five percent raise.Well, if inflation is up eight percent,
you actually lost three percent. Oh, simple math. Under the Trump
administration, typical families increase their incomeby six thousand dollars. So far under

(06:39):
the Biden administration, typical families havelost over two thousand dollars. That's a
big spread at eight grand, andthat's going to be an affordability issue.
That's going to be a killer inthis election, it's about the economy.
Stupid three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three At Chad Benson Show,it's your Twitter, your Instagram, a
lot of other things that you canreach out to us. We love hearing

(07:01):
from every single one of you.One of the other big things that Biden
has a problem with is what's goingon in Israel. He's trying to get
the young voters. They're pissed,they're angry, and this killing of the
aid workers is really set things offin a way that Biden is having real
issues with. But like I saidyesterday, the actions, not the words

(07:28):
matter. We all too often arefocused on words. Trump derangement syndrome is
a perfect example the actions. ThoughBiden comes out, he says this,
he says that I'm pissed, blahblah blah blah blah, look at this.
And then the action is here's abunch of more weapons. That says
to me, it's just lip service. The world Central kitchen workers, an

(07:50):
American, three British nationals, andAustralian, a Polish national and a Palestinian
driver were traveling in a caravan whenit was attacked. Their vehicle's clear branded
with the food relief organization's logo.Chef Jose Andres, founder of World Central
Kitchen, claims the group was targeted. Prime Minister Netanya Who's foreign policy advisor,
insists the attack was not intentional.Was it or was it not?

(08:13):
Was it an accident? Because ChefJose Andres, who has this World's Kitchen,
said no, no, no,no, they were targeted. They
were targeted. Look, I don'tknow what happened. What's the first you
know, casualty of war, it'sthe truth, the fog of war,
whatever. There's always going to becasualties in war that are collateral damage of

(08:33):
people who are innocent. Do Ifor a moment think that they're like,
hey, let's kill a bunch ofAID workers because this will make us look
good to the world. I don'tthink that seven team members between the special
security people, we have three Britishindividuals and three three International Group plus one

(08:54):
Palestinian, that they were targeted systematicallyCarbi car and this happened over more than
one point five one point eight kilometers, So this was not use a bad
luck situation where oops, we droppedthe bomb in the wrong place or or
no, this was over one pointfive one point eight kilometers with a very

(09:18):
defined humanitarian convoy that had signs inthe top, in the roof, a
very colorful logo that we are obviouslyvery proud of. But that's very clear
who we are and what we do. So they're having a phone call today,
BB and Biden. It's the beesat it. There's a lot of
pressure on bb and there's tons ofpressure on Biden and this thing is going

(09:43):
to get a lot worse before itgets better. But what are they talking
about today? A lot of it'sgoing to be about Rafa, don't go
in there. The political pressure onehundred percent. And yet at the same
time, even though they canceled allthat stuff last week, Remember we're canceling
everything that's sending our people over totalk about what's going on, you know,

(10:03):
Israel and the battle that's going onthere because the UN vote, what
happened. Well, their defense ministercame over and he met with Lloyd Austin
talking about okay, so we're goinginto Rafa, what do you think we
should do? Actions? And thekids, the young voters in the world
are going, yeah, you're sayingsomething in front of the camera, but
your actions are saying something else threetwo, three, five, three eight,

(10:24):
twenty four to twenty three Atch youhad Benson shows your Twitter tweet at
as text the program sports programs broughtto you by Better Help. You know
something that I learned to do along time ago thanks to I used to
worry about this, right like tellingpeople no, people you love, people
you like. Now everybody knows.They just don't ask me to do certain
things, partially because I'm always busy. I have a limited time to do

(10:46):
things, and it has helped memore than anything else. Saying no to
build time for yourself, when's theright time to say yes, and how
not to feel guilty about it.Better Help can help you get that time.
And it's az So it's online therapy. You do it from your house.

Show. As you check off yourlist before the total solar eclipse, including
getting those essential safety glasses. Makesure to keep checking the weather. Some

(11:52):
of the twenty two states included inthe path of totality from Texas to Maine
could have cloud cover or even snow. Mother Nature wields her own power on
April eighth. The sky's the lastpiece of the puzzle for millions flocking to
areas to watch when the moon blocksthe sun. Some spending up pretty penny
on hotels, travel, and partieswrapped around the event that won't happen again

(12:15):
until twenty forty four. It's gonnabe very interesting. So that takes place
Monday solar clips. It's gonna bea trip. I think here in Arizona,
I think we're gonna get sixty sevenpercent of the eclips, and then
in other parts of the country.There's about thirty three million people in the
direct path, but they expect Godknows how many people to flock to these

(12:35):
areas to watch it. It isit three four minutes they expect to dip
in, you know, the temperature. Once it happens to drop rather quickly,
it's gonna be crazy. And ifyou guys are nice, I'll bring
the sun back after those four minutes. If not, well, then you're
on your own. Some people don'tknow what's gonna happen with animals, right

(12:56):
Like they're worried about electronics. Talkeda bit about that even in the airline
industry is like, eh, shouldbe okay, settle down, Boeing.
We're not taking your word for it. What about animals? What could happen
there? Zoo animals is another areathat people don't know how they react.
One story I read was a flockof penguins that got their morning food and

(13:18):
then the eclipse happened and they allgot really worried that it was getting dark
and they hadn't had their dinner yet. So they were pretty active, pretty
active, Pretty active, Pretty activepenguins, are they? Yeah, they're
pretty boring. Otherwise, if you'veever been to a like SeaWorld or any
of those places, you go inthere, they just kind of all stand
around. What do you do justhanging out? I'm waiting. I'm waiting
for food. That's what we dohere. I don't even know anything else.

(13:41):
Why do we have wings? Wehad fly It's kind of a weird
thing. So what can you know? I mean, I don't know how
the animals are going to react.I have no idea. I'm sure that
because it's a weird thing, right, Like, when we think about it,
think about it. If you thinkabout caveman brain, go back all
those years, caveman brain, whatwhat it is like if you were in

(14:01):
the middle of the day and allof a sudden, boom, there goes
the sun for a little while,you would think, oh my god,
trip, it's a trip. It'sgonna be cool. We'll be recording notes
into our software that we can trackit too, to see how our animals
react. Find out find out whatyour animals do. Speaking of travel and
getting there, travel is always topof mine because we do it more often

(14:24):
than ever. Before people are flyingthere. They've got flights specifically for this.
It's gonna be crazy. I wantto see what the traffic is like,
because I've heard that traffic after asituation like this is a zoo.
It's like the worst traffic you couldever imagine Karmageddon if you will, it's
supposed to be that bad. Whatabout flights, There's gonna be a lot

(14:46):
of extra flights. Some people saythis could be the busiest flying day of
the year, which is insane.What's that cost? Speaking of costs,
jet Blue is doing something. They'retrying something, as everybody is. When
Wendy's, the hamburger chain, talkedabout implementing dynamic pricing depending on time of
day on its menu items, therewas outrage. Now Jet Blue says it

(15:09):
will be implementing dynamic pricing for checkedluggage, that the price of a first
checked bag will range from thirty fiveto fifty dollars depending on when you're flying.
On busier days, a price willbe hired to check luggage. Flyers
will be able to get a tendollars discount if they notify the airline of
their plan to check a bag atleast twenty four hours before their flight.
So they're going to try dynamic pricing, but not for the price of the

(15:33):
flight, which I find to beinteresting because I think a lot of people
because you already have that right ifyou're flying around the holidays, it's going
to be a little bit more expensiveif you're flying on a Tuesday in February
with nothing going on, a littlecheaper. So what do they do?
Well, they go after the bags. How's it work, you say.
The way it'll work on Jet Blueis on busy days, the price of
a first checked bag will be fiftydollars. Not so busy days thirty five

(15:58):
bucks. Those peak days will appearto be about half of the year,
including all through the summer and aroundThanksgiving and Christmas. If you notify Jet
Blue on its website that you plantto check a bag twenty four hours before
your flight, you get a tendollars discount. Interesting was it Ryanair that
it's kind of like a Southwest inEurope. In Britain they were going to
charge to use the bathroom. Theythought about that, we'll charge people to

(16:22):
use the bathroom. Trying to makea buck. Try here's the thing,
trying to make a buck and savea buck, if that makes sense.
Try to make a buck obviously asan owner. Try to save a buck
as an owner, and the samething goes. You're trying to save a
buck. If you're a customer,how can I save a dollar here?
Save a dollar there. If Imake everything all a caart, maybe you

(16:45):
just want to get from point Ato point B. Okay, I'm willing
to be part of the cattle.I'm not going to bring anything. Give
me the cheapest. Maybe you're goingsomewhere and you want to take a lot
of stuff. It's interesting to seethe way that this works. But we
already have some dynamic pricing. AndI go back to it was about five
six years ago. The they werelike essentially you know smartphones, they were

(17:07):
smart vending machines. Do you rememberthat it had and they're still out there.
The temperature so if it was likeeighty five ninety outside and you wanted
to buy a coke, it wastwo fifty or three bucks. If it's
thirty five outside, you want tobuy a coke, it's a buck.
That's surge pricing right there. Threetwo, three, five, three,

(18:00):
Dependent Thoughts, Independent Life. Thisis Chad Benson. I say this
all the time. We're not asdivided as the media wants us to be.
In real life, IRL, weare not as far away in our
beliefs. We're the exhausted majority andwe need to flex our muscles. So

(18:26):
there's a new poll out talking aboutthe commonality. So that's one of the
things I always talking when we talkabout diversity. Everybody's always like color,
that thought is the most important partof diversity. Because if you and I,
regardless of what you identify your color, et cetera, et cetera,
if we can have a conversation andmy thought process is different than your thought

(18:52):
process, but we can still getalong, that's great. We could be
the same color. And if youcan't stand the thoughts that I have as
far as the you know, Ibelieve this, or I believe we should
have strong immigration, I believe inthe Second Amendment. You you know I
believe in in you know, I'mpro life, understandable. We live in

(19:14):
a different world where you know,I would rather see us not have to
make decisions like that, But thereality is that people do. We would
differ in a lot of ways.You will give me the same color.
And if you can't stand my beliefsor my political ideology and you want nothing
to do with me, that's notthat's not diversity, that's insanity. But

(19:40):
commonalities are the things that that reallybind us. So that's like when you
hear people talk about you know whatTrump said, Oh, it's the we're
poisoning the blood. No, we'renot a poisoning blood. Stop with that
silliness of of that, because Ithink it's bs when people try to draw
this conclusion that Trump's saying, Oh, it's all about the white race.
No, what he's saying is,here's America. We all have a belief

(20:04):
the beauty of us is we canall be different colors, different races,
we can do different sexuality, butwe can have commonalities. Those are things
that bind us more than anything else. Having a bunch of people who believe
different things, who can't stand eachother, that's not good for a country.

(20:26):
It's not a successful country. Indeed. So I found this interesting new
poll out about what Americans believe,and guess what, We're not too far
apart. When it comes to politics. It seems like there isn't a lot
that Americans can agree on these days. But a new polf shows that when
it comes to some of the mostimportant values and freedoms, Americans are on

(20:49):
the same page, more than ninetypercent of US adults say the right to
vote and equal protection under the laware important or very important. Eighty eight
percent say this about the right toprivacy, and eighty four percent say the
freedom of religion is important or veryimportant. Yes, it is boom love
that Wow. That's that's Democrats,that's independence, that's Republicans. That's black,

(21:14):
that's white, that's gay, that'sstraight. A vast majority of Americans
do not live in the extremes.That's why our voice needs to be louder
and stronger, because we are thepeople who do not live on emotions and
extremes and are more interested in livingour lives not bothering anybody else, rather

(21:37):
than the giant cluster hump that wehave right now in our political world.
Now, the media loves the fightingbecause it's you know, I was explaining
something the kids the other day,so you know, I've got my two
thirteen year olds. I have myson Jack and my stepdaughter Lily, and
they're best friends. And we weretalking the other day in the car about
Real Housewives and they said, whyis it so popular? So because people

(22:03):
like to watch fighting in chaos.That's what people enjoy. They enjoy fighting
in chaos as far as you know. It's like I used always say this,
Uh, I don't like I don't. I don't like drama if it's
mine, but drama for other peoplecould be entertaining. It's the same kind
of thing. So we watch itand we see the extremes because it's a
car wreck. Right, we're gonnayou know, we're gonna rubber neck.

(22:26):
But it's not who we are.The average person doesn't hate a Democrat or
Republican. Right. If you're aDemocrat and you're an average Democrat, right,
you believe in pro choice, you'restrong union, you want you know,
the rich to pay their fair share, but you're not into this insanity
of wokeness. Same thing for theRepublicans. You know you want you you

(22:47):
want everybody to have equal opportunity,not equal outcome. You you want a
strong border. I mean we wewe agree in a lot of things.
We're just a little bit right ora little bit left. The media wants
us to be further a part becauseit's great for their bottom line and it
gets clicks and views. Hence thebottom line. You're not going to watch
two people sitting there having a normalconversation. It's just something you're not interested

(23:12):
in the average viewer for these things. So what is it that they want?
They want chaos and craziness because wewill rubber deck. There are some
divides, though, about the valuesthat underpin our identity as a nation.
More than half of Republicans say aculture grounded in Christian values is important for

(23:32):
the US's identity as a country.Will Only eighteen percent of Democrats agree with
that, And while three quarters ofAmericans agree that a democratically elected government is
important for America's identity as a nation, most people don't think our democracy is
functioning. Well, no, it'snot. They don't get along. And
why Well, that's simple because thepeople that enjoy the divide are people who

(23:56):
are not interested in solutions. They'reinterested in what it's in it for them,
and that goes to both sides.They're interested in the thing that we've
coined for a long time. Pelebrities. They're politicians who are celebrities. They
care more about what's on Instagram,x slash Twitter, what show can they
be on today? They care abouttheir brand, and that's what they've become.

(24:22):
So many of these politicians have becomebrands, kind of like athletes.
I mean, they might as wellhave name and likeness deals. They're interested
in what's in it for them,and what's in it for them is to
stoke the extremes because it's good fortheir brand. Do they believe it in
real life? Most likely know andin many cases do the exact opposite.

(24:47):
But it's about the brand. Onlyabout three and ten US adults think that
the US's democracy is functioning well.About half say that the US's democracy is
functioning but poorly, and fourteen percentsay the US is not a democracy.
Well, we're a republic based onthe ideals of democracy, but we're a

(25:08):
republic. But again, it goesback to how you're viewing things. And
because of the fake news, becauseof the battles that have gone on over
the last unteen years, starting withTrump coming down the escalator and the left
loving him for a little while andthen hating him the most, to you
know, fake news, this,that and the other, it's hard to

(25:30):
get a feel of what's going on, and so people now have a lot
of disbelief and that is understandable.There was a big age divide on this
question. The youngest respondence in thepoll those between the ages of eighteen and
twenty nine. We're much less likelythan people over the age of sixty to
say that the US is a wellfunctioning democracy. These findings reflect one of

(25:56):
the big challenges for American democracy rightnow. We're actually not as divided as
we think on the importance of someof the most important rights and freedoms.
But Americans also agree that democracy justisn't working the way it should. Not
because democracy is bad, but becausesomething we'll talk about a little bit later
when we get into the debate aboutcommunism, because they've got some great audio

(26:18):
of loonies. It has a lotto do with what human beings. Human
beings will in inevitably screw things up. Democracies are hard, They fail.
More often than not. They fail. Democratic republic is what we are.

(26:41):
We're a republic the ideals of democracy. But why is that Because democracies fail,
people become dissolution, they become angry, they realize they could vote themselves
stuff, and eventually mob rule.And then it's so democratic republics, Well,
we're giving it a go. Betterthan anything else. Greatest thing in

(27:03):
history when it comes to any countryor anything else. It's been the United
States for what it offers the world, Well, it does a lot of
bad things. Show me a countrythat doesn't. You can't. And again,
humans, humans involved will inevitably screwthings up because they'll take something that
should be great, amazing and pure, put their twist on whatever it is

you guys didn't know anything about outthat school that he had set up.

(30:02):
Apparently he's afraid of stars, sothey had this like two story building,
but nobody was allowed to go upstairs. It's just he's so freaking where.
You can't tell me he doesn't havesome issues mentally, You can't. I
mean, come on, I mean, it's just and what was the other

(30:22):
thing? They only served sushi atlunch? Right? Was that the weird
thing? Which it's such a bizarreI'm surprised he's only being sued by it
for thirty five grand. That's it. I mean, goodness me, I
mean that's a lot of money forKanye now that he's uh struggles. I
mean, he's still worth like sixseven hundred million. Imagine going for like
two or three billion, and thenyour insanity drops you down to five hundred

(30:47):
million, and you're like, youmad at your ex wife, so you
go and marry somebody looks just likeso bizarre. Speaking of bizarre, everybody's
mad at Beyonce. She did acountry album. Matt Walsh Daily Wire took
exception apparently to people saying that shewas talented and I find it weird,

(31:08):
but this is from autumn. Shesays, Beyonce and mediocre don't belong in
the same sentence. Well, Iwould agree if you're talking about her looks
or her dance moves, like she'sa good looking woman, no question,
she's a great dancer. But thetruth is, and you know this,
you know it deep down, youknow, deep down, autumn that if
she was not an attractive woman,she would have no career as a singer.

(31:29):
And that's not a statement that's trueof every female singer. There are
plenty of female singers who have hadgreat careers, legendary careers, despite not
being necessarily beautiful, And the reasonthat they had those careers is because their
music was that incredible. But they'regreat artists. But Beyonce, take out
the looks and she's you know,she's a passively okay singer who doesn't play

(31:52):
any instruments, doesn't write her ownmusic. So on talent alone, on
merit alone, she's mediocre. Sorryto say, it's just it's no,
it's not she's uper talented. I'mnot a fan of a lot of the
music, of course, I don'treally listen to a ton of music.
I don't and I like mostly badseventies songs. Don't ask. I don't

(32:13):
know why punk obviously a lot ofpunk music. But well, she needs
forty five people to write a song, It's not true. She's actually written
a lot of songs from EM andM and Lady Gaga. Here's the thing.
When people see that there's eight,ten, twelve songwriters you know why
that is? Lawyers is why.Now I'm not saying there may not be

(32:34):
two or three or four people thatcollaborate on the song and help write it,
but lawyers why because I make usea sample here, and because of
that sample, I need to crediteverybody, because at some point in time,
somebody's gonna feel like that they dida beat or that they did something,
and they're gonna drag their butting courtand lo and behold, I'm going
to have to pay a ton ofmusic. See Marvin Gaye's family. Yeah,

(33:00):
I just it's weird. Again,She's super talented, and I think
part of the problem even in today'sworld, and this is this is on
us, right, this is theTikTok generation. More. Once videos came,
I always go back to this.Looks matter. Don't think that they
don't they do. We were lessshallow in the sixties and seventies. But

(33:20):
even then, go look at themop tops, right, go look at
the British invasion. Outside of themamas and the papas and a few of
the hippie dippies, they were allkind of a cookie cutter. Look.
Then you got to the seventies,you know, the Shaggy, the Look
and the Hole nine Yards and thedisco era again. Then you got to
the eighties and MTV came around,And I say this over and over again.

(33:45):
Christopher Cross was arguably the biggest artistin the world for a while.
MTV came around and he sailed away. Say why because he wasn't a looker,
And Duran Duran came and Duran Duranwas talented, but they were models
who could sing. It was theway that people look at and play instruments,

(34:08):
and that's the way that we went. So, Yes, looks do
matter, regardless of what you think. Yes, every once in a while
people will break through that look differentJelly Roll, perfect example, Post Malone
even for the time though, let'sbe real the tattoos on the face.
Looks do matter three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show isyour Twitter tweet at as text the

(34:30):
program and looks may get you something, but staying there is on you.
Like Beyonce wouldn't be where she isif it wasn't for the fact that she
had talent and she had drive.You gotta have some of that stuff.
And I find it interesting that youknow and again today's world, I find

(34:53):
it interesting. People are like,well, it's because of the looks.
Yeah, there's a certain part ofthat that's absolutely true. I mean,
Beyonce wouldn't be who she is ifshe was four hundred pounds. She may
have all the talent, she mayhave some success, but would she be
who she is at three hundred pounds. Probably not. But once you get
to a certain level, it becomesa manufacturing brand and you have to give

(35:19):
it to the people, and thepeople want big and flashy and boomy,
and they you know, it's it'sit's the way we are today. Three
two, three, five, threeeight, twenty four to twenty three,
Hatch had Benson's show, It's yourTwitter, your install all of the other
things. A lot of stuff comingup next hour, including more in the
Wall Street Journal. Swing pole thatwe talked about, that swing state pole

(35:40):
that everybody's freaking out about, especiallyin the Biden administration. Why because Trump
is winning in all the swing states. Go's some of that. Gen Z,
So millennials, you guys were ghostingemployers. Gen Z, you guys
are a part of it now too, and this is why employers are so
frustrated with a younger generation. Talka bit about that as well. Reach

out to us across the board.You can tweet at us at Chad Benson
Show. I guess X at usis it still a tweet even though it's
on X Instagram us If you'd liketo send us a tax at three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four, twenty three. It
is the Chad Benson Show. Thisis the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,

(36:46):
Independent Life. This is Chad BensonBB and Biden's speaking today. A
lot of uneasiness in the friendship betweenthis administration and Israel at this moment in
time, at least in public.But it's not just us, by the

(37:07):
way, So the killing of theaid workers has really kind of pushed forward
a real issue that a lot ofpeople were already starting to feel the pressure
of not just us, but alliesacross the board because of what's going on

(37:28):
in Gaza and now into Rafa,they're getting ready to ahead. You've got
all of this nightmarish famine going on. It is it's not a good place
for anybody to be politically at thispoint in time, let alone the humanitarian
nightmare that's happening there. The listof Israel's allies condemning the deadly airstrike on
seven aid workers in Gaza is growing, Poland's Prime minister calling it a tragic

(37:52):
attack, Australia saying his country isoutraged, and the British Prime minister called
the attack appalling. President Biden isexpected to speak with Prime Minister Benjamin nettan
Yahoo today for the first time sinceMonday's attack. I don't know how that
goes, because in public, Bidenis condemned, wants to get them to

(38:13):
stop, says all the things thathe thinks is going to make the young
people go oh yeah. In privatehe does the exact opposite. What kind
of weapons do you need? Doyou need a kabillion bombs? We could
get you those. You need this, We'll do that as well. Hey,
Biebe, you know I gotta goin front of the cameras and say
you're a richard, but you knowand what you're doing that we condemn.

(38:35):
But that being said, you know, it's just business. The reality is,
you know, we got you back. You know what I'm talking about,
Oh now, the killing of theaid workers. This is Chef Andres
talking about his aid workers. Sothis is the world's kitchen and they were
killed. And this has started thisreal pressure on not just America and what

(38:57):
we can do, but all ofthe allies questioning, okay, is this
enough? Seven team members between thespecial security people, we have three British
individuals and three three International Group plusone Palestinian that they were targeted systematically,
Carboy Car and this happened over morethan one point five one point eight kilometers,

(39:22):
So this was not use a badluck situation where oops, we dropped
the bomb in the wrong place oror no. This was over one point
five one point eight kilometers with avery defined humanitarian conboy that had signs in
the top, in the roof,a very colorful logo that we are obviously

(39:44):
very proud of. But that's veryclear who we are and what we do.
Tell you what I mean. Youlisten to that. And now these
were his people that were killed.He's not saying it wasn't act because understand
the folk of war Wing go allthat stuff. We've talked about it before.
He said, no, no,no, no, they they were

(40:05):
targeted. What I know is thatwe were targeted deliberately, none as stuff
until everybody was dead in this convoythat that that cannot be. That cannot
be the role of an army.That cannot be the role of an army
that has hundreds of drones above GASAin any single moment, targeted specifically.

(40:30):
Now they're you know, they've they'vesaid in its excuse, they say,
you know, it was dark,it was this, it was that.
I'm sure they're probably thinking maybe oneof these people is working for you know,
they're saying it's eight or I meanI I because the story will change
and you'll never know the story.But is this is this that point that

(40:53):
changes? Is the picture of theVietnam and the gun pointing at the head
of the you know, the guythat is about to be shot and the
picture is this the moment that istoo much? And everybody's like, all
right, that's enough. President Biden'ssharp condemnation has not been met by any

(41:15):
change in US policy. He hasbeen resisting calls to put limits or conditions
on the weapons that the US sendsto Israel to fight this war, something
critics say is contradictory and hypocritical.The big question now, will the president
change course? Will these deadly strikesbe a breaking point? Great question?
Is this it, no beaus.As I've said before, the condemnation is

(41:40):
just business. Hey man, it'sjust business. Worries orry about It's just
business. You know. I gotto go out and say what I have
to say. Right, I'm running. If I was the lame duck president,
I won't give her ads ask IfI was two three years away from
an election, I wouldn't care.We're an election time. I gotta go

(42:02):
out and do my thing. Youknow that is come on, bebe Now
that being said, what do youneed? Oh well yeah, yeah,
crazy right, No, business iswhat it is. Speaking of business,
Swing state voters talked a bit aboutit yesterday. David Shallion, C A
D had some interesting facts. Moreof it as they break down the Wall

(42:22):
Street journals look at swing state votersthe seven states, How do they feel
about this president versus Trump? Howdo they feel about even the economy versus
Biden and Trump? What's underneath thosehorse race numbers? Well, really dismal

(42:43):
approval rating of President Joe Biden.He's at thirty eight percent approval, sixty
percent disapproved. That's across all sevenof the battleground states. How does that
compare with Trump's approval rating? Interms of asking people now how Trump handled
the presidency, and this you seea much more evenly divided nation here.

(43:04):
Fifty one percent approve of the wayDonald Trump handled his job as president.
Forty seven percent disapprove. Across thesebattleground states. Well, this is a
trouble sign for the Biden campaign becauseacross the seven states in this Wall Street
Journal poll, only thirty six percentsay that the strength of the economy is
excellent or good. Sixty three percent, nearly two thirds of Americans in these

(43:25):
seven decisive states say not so goodor poor. That's big time right there.
That's a struggle. The seven statesare going to decide everything, and
so we've pointed out and we'll continueto do so things will change. We're
a long way away from this election. We still have months to go.
We haven't even got to the conventionyet. So things are going to change.

(43:49):
Is the economy going to implode?Did you see the they did like
AI simulations of where they think theeconomy is going to go as almost ninety
percent of it thinks the economy ofthese simulations to think the economy is going
to implode, so or have seriousissues in the coming you know, months
and year or so. And thatincludes the massive amount of debt that we

(44:10):
have, the fact that you know, solid security and Medicare is hemorrhaging.
So there's a lot going on here, but a lot can change. Immigration
is a big issue. Will itcontinue to be a big issue several months
from now? I think it will. And Trump leads in those situations as

(44:31):
well. Earlier today, Brandon JuddBorder Patrol, one of the talking head
union members chief of it, talkingabout immigration where we are now compared to
the guy that was there before Biden. And what really makes me sick about
everything is when you hear people say, well, illegal immigrants don't commit as

(44:53):
many crimes as what United States citizensdo. That is a red herring.
It doesn't matter. Those individual shouldn'tbe here anyway. And when you look
at President Trump's policies and you recognizethat he was able to keep crime out
of this country, when he wasable to keep people like Lake and Riley
alive, when he was able tokeep people that are poisoning from fentanyl from

(45:14):
dying, when he was able tokeep those people from dying, you have
to recognize that the policies actually worked. And when you look at everything that
we're facing right now. Everything isstrictly based upon the policies that this administration
is put in place. When youbring back catch and release, you are
inviting people to cross our borders illegally, and that's exactly what he's done.
He is rewarding people for violating ourloss and as long as you do that,

(45:36):
they're going to continue to come.Absolutely one hundred percent, there's no
repercussions. They're going to continue tocome, and the repercussions that seem to
be there for a vast majority ofpeople are what come on in This will
continue to be an issue, andthe only way it overtakes the economy in
my mind immigration, which will benumber two probably of the big issues going

(46:01):
forward. The only way that itovertakes it is if there is some horrific
act of violence, terrorism, whateverthat comes from there that traces back to
the zero border enforcement policy laws ofthis administration, then I think it overtakes

(46:22):
everything and is being a reactionary society. That'll be the issue, But the
economy is stupid three two, three, five, eight, twenty four to
twenty three Act ch Had Benson Show, should Twitter your Instagram rofgreens are you

Chad Benson Show. Respect for Peoplewho cares about respect. They want to
kill my friends, they want tokill me, they want to kill my
family. Who wants to kill you? Conservatism maga huts. That's all a
right, you know how many peoplecapitalism is killed? All right, let's
talk about let's talk about how manypeople atheist have killed. Atheism killed.

(48:02):
Yep, holy, you're the mostuninforgned mother seen on the planet. And
A yeah, wow, who's that? If you're not seeing this this guy,
it is uh, he's very interesting. He is a a he's a

(48:23):
legal scholar. I think he's aprofessor. He goes out and he debates
people about the Bible and things ofthis nature, and he gets into it
with this guy that's upset because hethinks every conservative is out to kill him
and capitalism is evil and bad.Was mount Say Tongue an atheist now was
the leader of the people. Howmany people did Mount Say Tongue as an

(48:45):
atheist murder? Good? All right? Roughly around one hundred Owner Tongue an
atheist murdered. How many people didJoseph Stalin, another atheist murder? How
many people did Joseph Okay, Solet's talk about how atheism opens you up

(49:07):
to slaughtering people. Why why doesatheism open you up to slaughtering people.
That's a good question. Capitalism killstwenty five billion people a year. No,
you know what, people kill people. Capitalism is a idea. It

(49:28):
is something that is the best idea. It's brought more people out of poverty
than anywhere else. Go look atthe poverty numbers. It is not capitalism
or the theory of capitalism, oreven the implementation of real capitalism. It
is human beings' So why And I'vealways said this, you know we we

(49:51):
we sit here, We've talked aboutthis all the time. When they talk
about socialists. Never been tried,real communists, never tried. It's been
tried, and it fails because humansare involved. Humans are the ones who
take something, bend it, useit, abuse it, and in many

(50:14):
cases do that based on government,ideology, whatever. The pure form of
anything would be perfect if people weren'tinvolved, continue irrational human So why is
a human being valuable? Come on, guys, that's not a hard question.
We're valuable because God created us andGod gave us innate value. No,

(50:36):
we're valuable because we're human beings andwe have an innate value that isn't
defined by some ornate religious order.We are defined by our our common interest
in keeping each other alive. Andthe only people that want to destroy that
are the enemies of the people,and they should be destroyed in a revolution.
That's what I'm talking about. Yes, that what you're talking about.
No, because you're a human being. I'm a human being. I don't

(50:59):
want some need to die. Butthe reality is is people do die,
and people take advantage of other people, whether it's political parties or corporations or
whatever. That happens, it willcontinue to happen because again, it is
people, people that make the decisions, people that pull the strings, people

(51:27):
that bend ideologies, whether it's religion, whether it is politics or capitalism,
and make it bad. I willfight in the streets, I'll fight here,
I'll fight anywhere, and I'm gonnafight for no matter how many mother
Conservatives come after me. You cankill me, but there will be ten

(51:47):
more in my place. You willthe Conservatives enemy. Don't mother people?
Is that respect for people who caresabout respect? They want to kill my
friends, they want to kill me, They want to kill my who wants
to kill you? Conservatism Mega shuts. That's I don't want to kill you.

(52:07):
Nobody here wants to kill you,sir. Maybe you're not you love,
but you and your magice just nuts. You can't. That's all emotion.
And by the way, if that'ssomebody who got to run the revolution,
how do you think that revolution wouldgo. He's a human being,
he's obviously driven by nothing but emotions. Do you think that that would end

(52:28):
up? Well if somebody said,hey, I don't like what you're doing.
No, because humans innately are goingto do what's best for them as
we all would when they said theworld doesn't revolve around you, You're right,
you know whose world does revolve aroundme? Me? Mine? Oh

(52:50):
yeah, Innately, everybody's going todo what's best for themselves. Always has
been that way, always will bethat way. Three two, three,
five, three eight, twenty fourto twenty three At Chad Benson shows your
Twitter, your Instagram, all ofthe other things interesting. We're gonna talk
a little bit about gen Z.So we've talked a lot about millennials,
and gen Z is an interesting groupof folks. Right, So I've got

(53:15):
Jen Alpha and gen Z and theinteresting way and I mean my kids that
employers are looking at gen Z.It's very interesting because you know, obviously
the millennials, we know about themand the frustration that people have. But

(53:36):
one person who is a hiring managerfor a company describes basically working with gen
Z in two words, a nightmare. We'll talk about that as well.
As California is trying to get yetanother law passed. This one is about
work life balance. Talk about thatas well. You can reach out to

(53:57):
us three two three five three eighttwenty five for twenty three. That is
your tax line three two three fivethree eight Chad, or tweet at us
X addus whatever the hell it isat Chad Benson Show. It is the
Chad Benson Show, The Chad BensonShow, Independent Thoughts, Independent life,

(54:37):
This is Chad Benson. A nightmareis how one employer describes gen Z to
work with, A nightmare. Ithought millennials were bad. Check out gen
Z. They're afraid to talk onthe phone, they have zero enter personal

(54:58):
skills. Look at you, it'scrazy. Well, part of that's because
they live in a digital age,right. We have to stop passing that
off as well. That's what happens. There's a lot of gen Z out
there that works their ass of samething with millennials. But there are a
lot of people who in this youngergeneration struggle in a major, major way.

(55:24):
And in the Telegraph they've got thisgreat article about hiring gen Z as
a nightmare. They don't turn upon their first day of work, ghosting.
Absolutely, it is crazy. Oneperson says, hey, we book
interviews, but people wouldn't turn up. They'd turn up late, or they

(55:46):
turn up when they were wildly unprepared. A person who runs ready to lease
the card leasing firms, they don'tknow anything about what they're doing and what
they're even there for. She saysshe did. And this lady Janelle or
now so that I don't want tomake generalizations because she goes. My best
employee happens to be from this generation, but she goes, I've had to

(56:08):
fire everybody else from this generation.Gen Z is defined by people born between
ninety seven and twenty twelve. Thecurrent age is twelve to twenty seven.
So my two kids are well,my three older ones are all gen Z,
and then Charlie is Alpha. It'syou know, it's funny because yes

(56:35):
we can plain. In fact,somebody just said, you know, the
reason the world's going to hellas boomersand I'm like, okay, every generation
complains about another generation, although it'skind of quiet like Gen X, we
don't get complained about a lot becausewe's first of all with the smallest generation
and second like whatever. But itis interesting in the way that this group,

(57:00):
younger group is going to take atit because I think what you're gonna
have is the millennials definitely struggle towork with. I've worked with a lot
of them for the most part.There's been a lot of struggles because there
are a lot about feelings and there'sa lot it's just the gen Z I
think is going to be a littlebit of that and also only digital age,

(57:22):
and I think that's going to bean issue. It's one of the
things they talk about in this articleis how great they are on social media,
the Savva where all that stuff.But they don't have a lot of
entrepreneurial wants and there is a lotof things that they do and they come
in where they expect to be it'sthe boss, and they want big bucks

(57:47):
and it's you know, and thereare restrictions in the things that they're willing
to do. Some of the otherthings they talked about. They're terrified to
the phone. They think everything shouldbe done via text, which I it's
a hard thing because I know inbusiness you got to do a lot of
phone calls. We do a lot, like I do a lot of phone
calls. Sometimes I think that welike meetings, like I'm all with them

(58:10):
in meetings. We don't need tohave a meeting. I think a lot
of times, you know, thiscould have been done in an email.
But they also never show up forjobs. That's one of the big things
is that, well, we knowwe have to hire several people overbook because
we know vast majority of them aren'tgoing to show up. One person says,

(58:30):
they don't seem to be arched aboutanything but their own personal space and
experience, what they need, whatthey want, and they never think about
a bigger picture. Oh yeah,that's uh. I got that with my
kids. That's a lot of kids. The difference is when I went into
the workforce, like a lot ofyou out there, I think you felt

(58:52):
the same way. It's like,I know, I got to bust my
ass here and they they don't.I don't know what it is. You
know, you got you got toblame the parents. They's somewhat, you
know, blame society, and there'sa lot of things. Blame some of
the wacky college ideas. I thinkthere's a lot of that out there too.
Social media's got a big part toplay in this, There's no doubt

(59:15):
about that. But when you lookat these numbers and you look at the
frustration that employers have and this,you know, this is why we talk
about the twenty dollars an hour jobfor flipping burgers in California, and it
should be a living wage. Firstof all, again I go back to
this, it never meant to bea living wage. Secondly, it's are
you giving me twenty dollars of workan hour? Are you? Are you

(59:42):
delivering that? Or am I payingyou twenty bucks an hour and getting five
dollars an hour out of you andlosing fifteen dollars an hour on you?
Oh yeah, California's trying something new. Not a shocker. Why do you
check this out? Speaking of worklife balance, how about no more contacts
after work? As the digital ageblurs workplace boundaries, there's a push to

(01:00:06):
give employees the right to ignore emails, texts, and calls after hours.
Calling me on my day off isbeyond me. Well. Similar laws have
already been enacted in some other countries. California could become the first US state
to require employers to give their workersthe right to disconnect during non working hours
unless explicitly noted or in the caseof an emergency. Violations could be punishable

(01:00:30):
by a fine. It would benice to not even have the stress of
thinking that someone might call you.It would be probably good for your mental
health. It would be be greatfor your mental health. That's not the
real world anymore. And I dothink that we need to learn to disconnect.
But that also goes for the peoplethat are workers, because I know
a lot of people who have toughtime, and I've been guilty of that,

(01:00:53):
of disconnecting myself. I've gotten betters, I've gotten older, you know.
But when I was coming up,no, it was tough. I
was so driven and you know,and this is what I want to do,
and disconnecting was a tough thing todo. But you know, there
was was work life balance. Well, here's the other thing. We hear
all kinds of story about when you'reat work, you're not even working,

(01:01:15):
for God's sakes, you have towork twenty four hours today, so I
get eight hours of work out ofyou. California assembly Member Matt Haney penned
the proposal, why introduce this bill. You shouldn't just because you have a
smartphone be expected to work twenty fourto seven without consenting to that. Let's
make sure that there's some time forpeople to be able to disconnect. It

(01:01:37):
comes, amit a broader wave ofefforts to prioritize work life balance and hang
up on so called extreme expectation.There's some extreme expectations out there, but
the work life balance, I mean, yeah, I mean, as you
get a little bit older, youwant to find out what that is.
But I think when you're young,the whole thought process work life balance comes

(01:02:00):
when you have something to balance withyour work. You got family, you've
got all of these things. That'swhat you're trying to find. You work
hard, you don't have to workas hard. They want to start out
in the I don't want to workas hard phase. Oh yeah, that's
different. And like I said,here's one of the interesting things is how

(01:02:22):
many times we have with the quietquitting and then this and the barely minimum
mondays and all these things. Hashtagslike act your wage, bare minimum,
mondays, and quiet quitting have wrappedup millions of views on social media.
I will not sacrifice my mental healthand wellness for somebody else's profits. Last
month, Senator Bernie Sanders introduced abill to cut the standard work week from

(01:02:45):
five to four days. Despite massivegrowth in technology and worker productivity, millions
of workers in our country are workinglonger hours for lower wages. The overlap
of work in personal life has beenturbo charged by the pandemic. Pew Research
reports the majority of workers respond tomessages outside of their normal hours at least

(01:03:07):
sometimes. Twenty eight percent do sooften. I understood what I was signing
on for. John Ferrari makes himselfavailable around the clock for a tech startup
in Silicon Valley, but says hegets flexibility in return. I'm contacted on
a regular basis, often multiple timesa day, and we operate our company

(01:03:27):
like a family, so I'm availablewhenever my family needs me. There you
go. Don't worry though, youguys have to worry about a lot of
that stuff. AI is coming foryour jobs anyways. Oh good, Now
I can stay home and make art. Okay. One person text in we
should be making art. AI shoulddo the jobs that we don't want to
do. Okay, who pays youthough? And the whole thought process that

(01:03:49):
everybody's going to go make art andwrite the great novel. You weren't doing
that anyways, and you don't knowhow to paint three two, three,

(01:05:27):
Benson Show. It's that time ofthe program where we talk about nature and
what nature can do to you.Nature weird mess you because it will.
Is it time to panic? We'vegot a new bird flu out there.

(01:05:48):
Oh my god, yeah yeah,this one the headlines again. I go
back to this because it's remember welive in a clickbait society. Free everybody
out. Most people say, youhave really nothing to worry about it here,
right, nothing to worry about it. They're monitoring it. We'll get
the KGP in a minute. Butthis bird flu, you know, you

(01:06:10):
look like a lot of these things. This thing's fifty fifty percent of people
who get it died fifty percent.So you get it, You're dead,
debt dead, You're like oh,and then of course the conspiracy. Oh,
just in time for an election.So what's going on right now?
Birds are migrating. You know howI mentioned this is in wild birds.
So birds are migrating. They're flocking, right, and so what that means

(01:06:30):
is that they are flying over chickenfarms and poultry farms in the US and
they leave their droppings and you haveto consistently monitor this. So birds pooping
on birds? Hmmm, how's thisbread? Bird flu has not just been
found in birds. We've known thatbird flu circulates in birds. That's quiet
why it's called bird flu or avianflu. But what we're seeing now is

(01:06:54):
that eleven cattle herds, so cows, have also been found with the virus.
And this week a man in Texaswho was in close contact with one
of those herds, he also wasinfected with bird flu. Oh my god.
So it went from the bird tothe cattle to a man. Is

(01:07:14):
this thing going to spread? Likewildfire? It can be highly contagious,
It evolves rapidly, just like ourflu that circulates in our populations. There
have been some instances of people gettinginfected with bird flu. But typically it's
people who work with poultry, workwith animals. But tell me the mask
I need to wear. So you'llhear a lot about the bird flu coming

(01:07:35):
up, So be prepared for that, all right, be prepared for that.
What do you say, KJP?So look, this is something that
we are certainly monitoring. We havebeen CDC has been certainly working on top
working and focusing on this. Youknow, we take health and safety of

(01:07:55):
the American people seriously. It isvery important to this president. Our top
rity is to keep communities healthy,safe and informed. Thank God. All
right, So they're gonna keep ushealthy, safe and informed. As we
continue with the nature messing you up. Sometimes you go to nature because it's
beautiful. You want to see it, you want to look at it,
You want to see it in itsnatural form, not at a zoo,

(01:08:15):
but somewhere else. Fortunately, sometimesnature decides to do something different. Also
tonight, we're learning more about anAmerican who died on a safari tour in
Zambia with a terrifying moment caught oncamera. Yeah, terrifying. Why is
that elephant? I don't know ifyou're aware of this. They're giant ormus,
especially the bull. Dramatic video showingthe moment in African Safari turned deadly.

(01:08:43):
A massive African bull elephant is seenin the distance running toward a vehicle
full of tourists, suddenly charging rightat the group, eventually flipping over the
entire thing with its tusks. Thesix passengers and tour guidance said, tumbling
over one of those passengers, aneighty year old American woman, tragically killed,

(01:09:05):
according to the tour company Wilderness.Another guest was taken to a medical
facility in South Africa for treatment,as four others were treated for minor injuries.
Yeah, and if you see this, because it's it's everywhere this thing
is. It's not like they droveby it and it was like three feet
away. And this thing is comingfrom a far distance and it is it

(01:09:30):
is hauling ass to get to them. And there was no and I liked,
hey, hey stop stop, likeit's oh, oh you want me
to stop. I didn't know.I thought this was part of the tour.
No it wasn't. And so they'rein this like vehicle and the elephant
flips it over as if it's justnothing. The CEO of wilderness, pointing
to the terrain and vegetation in astatement, writing the guide's route became blocked

(01:09:54):
and he could not move the vehicleout of harm's way quickly enough. The
deadly episode playing out in the FuiNational Park in Zambia. The massive five
hundred and fifty thousand acre wildlife preserveis the oldest and second largest safari park
in the world, A popular destinationfor people looking for an encounter with iconic
African animals like lions, hippos,and elephants. The Safari Guide Company promises

(01:10:18):
a tour of quote one of thewildest, most pristine places on Earth,
but journeys into the home of Africa'swild animals can come with risk. So
we talk about nature messing up.You want to go see nature. It's
amazing, it's beautiful, it's incredible. We're talking earlier day about the eclipse
and all the stuff that can happenin nature that is amazing. But they
do all come with risk and avast majority and I do be in a

(01:10:40):
vast majority of is nothing. Therisk is minuscule, but there is always
a risk when you go into nature, especially for us as tourists. I
mean you know, it's like whetheryou know, and these were not people
that were idiots, where like yousee in the national parks where they're gonna

(01:11:02):
go up and try to pet abison and take a selfie with it,
they were You would think you werecompletely safe, you're so far away from
it, until you see it startto charge and realize, wow, it's
a big thing that can move reallyfast. While elephant attacks are not common,

(01:11:24):
videos of the animal getting aggressive withtourists have gone viral before, but
in Zambia, the tour company saysit is cooperating fully with local police and
wildlife officials in their investigation. Aslocal authorities work with the US embassy to
get the American woman who lost herlife back home. Are they gonna arrest

(01:11:45):
the elephant? No? Are theygonna put the elephant down? I wonder
that not. The elephant was doingwhat elephants do, which is nature stuff,
protecting something. Who knows why itdid what it did. Here's something
interesting, though, the numbers ofpeople that I from elephants every year.
One question I was having as Iwas researching in this story and reporting this
story out was how common is this? And I was surprised to learn that.

(01:12:08):
There's actually a term for what wesaw in that video, Halley.
It's called elephant human conflict. It'sthe focus of entire studies. In fact,
India's Ministry of Environment released to reporta couple of years ago that estimated
about five hundred people are killed byelephants every year. Think about that for
a second. Over one person aday is killed by an elephant every day.

(01:12:31):
Crazy, right, And it isIndia, different continent and stuff.
But and a lot of people diein India, by the way, God
knows how many people die every dayfrom snake bites. But again, nature,
they're not going to see nature,they live amongst them. Three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three at Chad
Benson Joe to Twitter, your Instagram. If you miss any of the show,
grab the podcast Chad Bena Joe,this is the Chad Benson Show,

(01:13:19):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. Thisis Chad ben said, So you see
what happened with these six squatters thatgot arrested, These illegal alien squatters in
somebody else's home that they are invading. They weren't arrested because of that.
These illegal alien squatters were arrested becausethey had lull its off in guns,

(01:13:44):
ammo, drugs, and they livedright across the street from an elementary school.
Another satisfied customer in New York.He almost sounds like a parent,
like that's not a real person.He lives right across the street from an
elementary school. Are you're freaking kiddingme? Forget about it. He's not
done, continued sir. Now Iwant to beat a mayor for five minutes.

(01:14:08):
Somebody passed me that torch right now, because I would have the first
line of business executive order is tohave every one of these illegal alien young
men of military age, violence criminals. I'd have them dropped off and force
them to live in the houses.Are you liberals who support this sanctuary city?

(01:14:30):
Give me that torch for five minutes. By the way, they ate
ineigrants, Uh, who are not? They're legal aliens? I didn't.
They didn't migrate here legally, right, They came here illegally. They were
found squatting last week inside of aplace, guns, drugs, all of

(01:14:54):
the stuff. They're still in jailnow. They released them without belle what
now yo. According to the NYPD, the alleged squatters were busted last Wednesday,
just after ten, somebody called andsaid, hey, there's a dude
with a gun. The officers foundtwenty four year old man armed with a

(01:15:15):
pistol. Police chased him to thebasement, where he was arrested, along
with several others suspected illegal immigrants,including a twenty two old man who tried
to run off with a weapon.Yes, there were drugs inside the house
as well child as well child endangerment. They faced gun, drug and child
endangerment charges, and the liberal loonydas have decided you know what, you

(01:15:44):
guys, guys, you guys,you get out of here. You've been
treated too bad already. Yesterday,interestingly enough, Doocey sparring with KJP talking
about liberally you guys think that somebig cities in this country have liberal DA's

(01:16:04):
that are too soft on a crime. Look, what I will say is
I'm not going to speak to everystate or city here. It's not for
me to speak to We have beenvery clear about this. Anyone who commits
a crime and is fay guilty needsto be held accountable. That's what this

(01:16:25):
president believes. Yeah. No,liberal DA's looney's who decided that let's allow
anybody out that needs to be out. You know me yesterday there are more
women punched yesterday in the face takingthe TikTok talk about being punched in the
face in New York? Why isthat? Well, because why not?
We played that lady yesterday who wascrying about being punched in the face and

(01:16:47):
that she was excited. She dida follow up that they arrested the guy
and they released the guy. Saidthat, eh, it's a misdemeanor.
It's a misdemeanor because you know therewas no intent. What how is no
intent? Crazy? Crazy? Indeed, speaking of New York Mayor Adams talking
about how great crime is, we'redown in crime in the subway system.

(01:17:13):
Was March of twenty twenty two.I committed to Cardinal Sin and said,
perception is playing into this. Youknow everyone blasted me, Oh you had
a touch, It's not reality.I said it back then. I always
knew from the days of being atransit cop, the perception can overrive this.
So these guys can bring crime downto zero. But if you don't

(01:17:35):
feel safe because you see this disordergoing on, then you're going to say
that, hey, we're not safe. Is that what we're gonna say,
or is it the fact that peopledon't feel safe because they're not safe?
Why is crime down? Did youguys not put the National Guard on the

(01:17:59):
subway? Oh? Yeah, youdid that. So seeing a bunch of
National Guard members around doesn't that makeyou feel like, well, maybe things
are a little bit better. AndI always go back to this when it
comes to crime, and this tome is a big deal, and partially
because you'll hear people say, well, crime is down, look at the

(01:18:21):
incident reports. How many times Ihave to say that the incident reports are
totally different when people First of all, when people start stop reporting crimes doesn't
mean crimes not happening. It's justtoday, know there's no consequences. If
you're in San Francisco and you breakinto a place and yes, steal a
bunch of things, and you knowthat the cops are going to do nothing,

(01:18:43):
and you sided out the call.Did the crime happen or not?
Yeah? Continue, mister Adams mayorwe know. The biggest challenge that we
are facing. I say over andover again, it's three areas. Recidivism,
recidivism, recidivism. There are toomany bad people who are doing bad
things. Good people of the cityand they believe they have the right to
do that. A small number ofpeople are committing a large number of crimes,

(01:19:08):
and why are they getting out?That's I think it's a fair question,
is not a mean question. Whyare they getting out if if a
small number of people. We wentover it yesterday, he was talking about
like five hundred and forty seven peoplehave been arrested to seven thousand times when
it comes to shoplifting, and whenit came to the transit side. Was

(01:19:35):
it just a handful of people andarrested up to two thousand times? Why
are they still out there? That'sthe question. Some are citicism. It's
not gay. They got out inthe confronted jobs, so they took up
crime again, no mentally ill drugs, and some people also recognize they can
do what they want and they're notgoing to be prosecuted, So there's no

(01:19:59):
reason to stop if there are zerorepercussions. Oh yeah, probably not.
I wouldn't think so. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad BensonShow, as your Twitter tweet at US
text to program. You want someTrump arrangement syndrome? You know what,
Chad? I would love some.Are you kidding me? Law enforcement?

(01:20:20):
Are you kidding me? Tonight inGrand Rapids, multiple law enforcement officers stood
behind Donald Trump as he spoke.People that are elected officials like sheriffs,
others hired to protect and enforce thelaw for the entire citizenry, not for
a political partly explicitly forbidden from beinga partisan authoritarian police force standing on stage

(01:20:44):
entirely unethical, probably illegal. Ontop of which Donald Trump has been indicted
ninety one times. He's upset.But you gotta see us on libs and
TikTok. If you just want togo check it out, you know what
it may because I'll get text limbsof TikTok is horrible, Like why is
it horrible? They put stuff upthat other people already put out. They

(01:21:06):
didn't go film these people. Thesepeople film themselves and they just put it
out there for people to take apeek at. And they're insane. Whose
faults? That just curious? Continue, sir, I didn't mean to stop
your rant. He's liable for sexualassault, his entire business was found to
be fraudulent, and law enforcement havethe goal to stand on stage with him.

(01:21:30):
Enough is enough? Are you kiddingme. His entire business was fraudulent.
Yes, everything fraudular. The scubagis the worst of the worst.
Ah. Yet, all that beingsaid, swing voters, you know who
you are. How are you lookingat this situation? You're looking at it

(01:21:50):
in a much different way, because, well, swing voters don't care about
the noise and the wackiness. Apparentlythey care about results. What's underneath the
horse race numbers? Well, areally dismal approval rating of President Joe Biden,
he said, thirty eight percent approval, sixty percent disapproved. That's across
all seven of the battleground states.How does that compare with Trump's approval rating

(01:22:15):
in terms of asking people, nowhow Trump handled the presidency? And this
you see a much more evenly dividednation here. Fifty one percent approve of
the way Donald Trump handled his jobas president, forty seven percent disapprove.
Across these battleground states. Well,this is a trouble sign for the Biden
campaign because across the seven states inthis Wall Street Journal poll, only thirty

(01:22:38):
six percent say that the strength ofthe economy is excellent or good sixty three
percent. Nearly two thirds of Americansin these seven decisive states say not so
good or poor. Ooh, seeeconomy stupid. Let's not forget about immigration
and crime, just to mention afew chat it's just in their minds that
the economy's not good. Now it'sin their pocketbooks as well, because they're

(01:23:00):
going to the bank going, yeah, you know what, Wow, I
broke that sucks. Hey the economy'sgreat, it's working. No, it's
not, at least not for them. Three two, three, five,

(01:26:17):
Indeed, Happy Friday, Eve,Dan Rather, he tweeted out something about
him being a patriot and that's whyhe doesn't like Trump or something. I
don't know, but it pissed peopleoff, as things tend to do,
and we talked about it throughout theday. Remember it's the extremes that control
a lot of the narrative because youand I the exhausted majority. We look

(01:26:42):
around him and go, yeah,they're fighting. It's like a train wreck,
right, it's a car wreck.We rubberneck. But it doesn't solve
anything. That's why he's trending becausepeople are mad at him. Taiwan after
the earthquake. Jack Smith and JudgeCannon both trending. Of course, Jack
Smith Old Trump Trials. Judge Cannonoverseeing the trial in Florida with Trump and

(01:27:09):
what's going on there. Head onover to Google. Number one trending thing
yesterday. Stefan Dicks may Thurner syndrome, which is what Loriita Bobbitt supposedly has.
I guess she had to have anoperation through diagnosis. It has to
do with veins being pinched in andaround the pelvic and lower abdomen and it's,

(01:27:31):
you know, wish her speedy recovery. Do you think it'll happen?
I think she'll be fine. InMiami, Man City, Arsenal, Celtics
all trending today. Disney stock Manthat proxy battle. If you don't know
what a proxy battle is. Basically, there are activists people on the board
at Disney, and there was afight between the the head haun show at

(01:27:57):
Disney and over you know, becauseyou've seen what's going on with Disney,
right, you know, go wogo broke kind of thing, and they
the woke lost if you will,in this battle. Oh, Travis Kelty,
Taylor Swift all trending fast food workersminimum wage increase. Every time I
even talk a little bit about that, people freak out. It's so funny.

(01:28:24):
It's like, Chad, you justdon't understand. I go back to
this with the fast food thing andtwenty dollars an hour. And now that
you know, if you've been onany social media in the last couple of
days, you've seen probably the preminimum wage hike in California. If you
don't know what happened, a quick, oh, somebody's quick here. Twenty

(01:28:45):
dollars minimum wage for about five hundredthousand people in California, specifically pathifically for
restaurant chains that have sixty or morefranchises or stores across the country. So

(01:29:08):
this is a weird thing, right, So if you've got sixty or more
it's across the country, even thoughyou may only own one in California.
It went from you know, aminimum wage of whatever it was to twenty
bucks twenty bucks an hour flip hamburgers, and prices are already starting to go
up. And I just I laughbecause, you know, it's simple economics

(01:29:31):
that many people don't understand, especiallypeople on the left. They just think
it's like, well, we'll justprint money. It doesn't work that way.
It gets passed off to the consumer. The people that you want to
help end up being hurt the most. Why is that because they consume fast
food. Now it's more expensive forthem. Oh yeah, yeah. They

(01:29:56):
lose hours and in many cases theirjobs. And now you've made it more
expensive for the consumer. Did yousolve anything? No will. People have
a right to have a living wage. Fast food was never meant to be
the living wage. It was meantto be a starter job, a second
job. It was never meant foryou to raise a family of four in

(01:30:21):
one of the most expensive places onthe planet. Oh yeah, three,
two, three, five, eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad
Benson Show to Twitter, your Instagramif you miss any of the show,
grab the podcast. Now you knowit's trending. It's a Chad Benson show,

(01:30:48):
the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad

(01:31:14):
Benson. It amazes me how manyof you hate r FK Jr. It
does amaze me. Look because Italked about him being in the race,
and many people out there, especiallyBiden supporters who listening, God bless you
well, and you're not Biden supporters. Let me let me rephrase that.
You are a hater of Trump,so by default you're for anything that's against

(01:31:38):
Trump. But RFK Jr. Jumpinginto the race, and when we talked
about the swing pole that we talkedabout earlier in yesterday about how Trump leads
in six of the seven states,it's a dead heat, I said,
RFK Junior needs to be on thisbecause that is probably going to change for
the most part, how this looksand probably benefit Trump. At this point,

(01:32:00):
a lot of you got upset.He's a conspiracy theory, he's a
loutony blah blah blah blah. Becausehe came out the other day too and
he talked about what he said,you know that Biden is a bigger threat
to democracy, which flipped a lotof people up, how can that be
Trump's the biggest threat democracy? Lastnight he was on with the Chris Cuomo
News Nation, and Chris hit himup about his conspiracy died of things.

(01:32:25):
A lot of the write ups areplaying to your biggest weakness, which is
that you spout a lot of conspiracy. Think whether it's deep state, whether
it's nine to eleven, whether it'svaccines. You are painted with that brush.
And I know you and the campaignthink that this is water under the

(01:32:45):
bridge. We've already addressed it.But I think that you should greatly rethink
going there because all those write upstoday called you a conspiracist, and I
think that there are a lot ofpeople in this country that want another choice,
but they're not going to vote fora conspiracist. They're not. Conspiracies
aren't real, Chad, They're not. Yes, they are. Now,
is every one of them real?No? Is every one of them something

(01:33:08):
that is easily explained. It's agood chance that the most part it is
that being said. You know,as Ron Funchius, the great comedian said,
you don't believe in what he says. He's in charge of one person,
his son, and he lies tohim all the time government's charge of
all of us. You don't thinkthey lie. Of course they do.
Of course they do have their ownagendas. They push things. I mean,
you all have to go back.Let's just go secret bombings and cambody

(01:33:30):
little things like that. So RFcase up there in the conspiracy theories.
You know, it's vaccine nine toeleven. You know all of this stuff.
He says, all right, allright, Chris, tell me where
I'm wrong. I was called aconspiracy theorist because I said that life essay,
which is the active ingrediment of Roundup, caused non Hodgkins and foma.

(01:33:51):
People said, that's a conspiracy theory. As it turned out, we won
three jury trials in which they agreedwith us, and Monsantos settled for thirteen
billion dollars. Remember that you don'thave to turn on the TV for five
minutes in the middle of day,in particular to find commercials for do you
have non Hodgkins lymphoma? Did youuse Roundup? You could be in line

(01:34:12):
for a settlement. Oh, continue, COVID, the big one. I
said at the beginning of the pandemic, the vaccines, We're not going to
prevent transmission, I said, thatbecause I was reading the science. I
was reading the monkey studies that showedthat they didn't prevent a transmission and monkeys,
so I knew they weren't going todo it any humans. I was
called a conspiracy theoris, and noweverybody admits that. I said that COVID

(01:34:35):
lockdowns were going to be very,very harmful to children, particularly, they
would damage our economy, and theywould not prevent the spread of a respiratory
virus. And the reason I saidthat I was reading the science. I
was reading pandemic protocols over the pastforty years. I was called the conspiracy
theoris. I said the mass we'renot going to work to prevent the spread

(01:34:55):
of the disease, and that theywould probably do more harm than good.
And now everybody he agrees with that. I said the same thing about social
distancing that it was in Science Base, and Tony Fauji has now acknowledged that's
true. Tell me a theory thatyou think I got wrong. Wow,
those seemed pretty spot on. Imean they do. Is it not fair

(01:35:16):
to ask questions? But see,and this is why when he talked the
other day about the biggest threat todemocracy, a lot of it was about
the COVID thing. I saw DanaBash the other day try to explain away
the the he's the biggest threat todemocracy because he shut me up in many
other people who had different opinions,in particular about COVID and things of that

(01:35:38):
nature. And she goes, well, he didn't mean it to to,
you know, suppress your speech.He was trying to do what was right
for the country. And that showsyou perfect example first of all, trying
to put things in certain contexts andmake you feel good. That's a buch
BS. I said from the beginning, whether it was the Wuhan Lap couldn't
even ask the question. Remember themasking, which was the dumbest thing,

(01:36:00):
because I remember Fauci coming out sayingthose masks don't work unless you get the
right mask, and even at thatpoint you have to change it all the
time, and nobody was ever goingto do that, And then it became
a symbol of I'm standing against Trump. Social distancing was BS, which was
made up. And the kid thing. Let's not get started on the kid
thing. So there where did heget it wrong? Quiet? Isn't it

(01:36:28):
to show me facts? You know, I'm not somebody I don't say things
unless I have a factual basis ofwhat. The defense of the political establishment
is that anybody who questions reigning politicalorthodoxies is discredit and marginalized and demonized by
characterizing them as a conspiracy theorist.But I don't you know, I don't
know any place where I have advocateda theory that is not factual based.

(01:36:55):
Tell me what it is. I'mhappy to answer it. It's fair.
Tell me show me now. I'mnot saying he does have some wacky ideas,
it's the conspiracies that maybe I differin the thought process than he does.
Doesn't mean I'm right and he's wrong. Doesn't mean he's right and I'm
wrong. And then Quomo hit himup with nine to eleven. I don't

(01:37:16):
know what happened on nine to eleven, but I do understand the government's reckoning
of it, and I don't haveany reason to not believe it. Is
that what you're saying, or yousaying that you don't know whether you believe
what the government says happened on nineto eleven, this matters, well,
I don't you know. Listen,I've been around long enough, and I
question everything that the government tells me, And I think people who don't question

(01:37:41):
what the government tells them are notpaying attention. And is nine to eleven.
He's skeptical of a lot of thestuff that was in there. Does
he he knows it happened, buthe doesn't know the full story. I
think will always have questions about There'sa lot of people that have questions about
it. What do I think happened? I think what happened happened. I

(01:38:04):
think a bunch of hijackers got ontoairplanes and it was more incompetence than some
sort of grand conspiracy. We candiffer on those things. Do I think
there was maybe more to the story, probably, But I think as it
sets itself out, I think wewere attacked by terrorists who were in this

(01:38:27):
country that we knew far more thanwe told the world, that we didn't
go after them when we had chances, and partially because we were very busy,
you know, being independent agencies ofone another, not sharing information.
I think that was a real issue. And of course then he brings up

(01:38:53):
you know seven World Trade Center buildingthat closes t Wins Towers did not fall
because of an attack nearby, anda lot of you will send me stuff
here, I'll see what happens.I get that, I understand. I'm
just saying I'm pointing out to youguys. I don't believe in all the
conspiracy theories, but you have tounderstand that there's a lot that the government's
lied to us about. There's areason, for instance, why his uncle's

(01:39:15):
information and the investigation of the shootingof his uncle dead in Dallas, all
of it's never been released. There'sa reason that when some stuff gets relieved,
most of it's redacted. You're protectingsomething, aren't you? Not a
conspiracy? But if there's nothing tohide, why are you hiding something?

(01:39:41):
And the COVID stuff is what reallypissed off a lot of people mostly day.
Look, the media wouldn't care anythingabout him if it wasn't for the
fact that his being in the raceis going to hurt Biden because liberal far
more little. Take out the conspiraciesand stuff, and the COVID stuff is
not a conspiracy, it's just realityand a differing of opinion in some of

(01:40:04):
these stuff. But take out thosethings, because that's again the salaciousness.
The way that he is is stilla Democrat, and he's very left,
and the person that he brought on, bizarrely enough as his vice president,
Machean Ann, is very very left. And that is gonna hurt who.
It's gonna hurt Biden more to hurtsTrump three two three, five, three

Biden Bibie, gonna have a phonecall about what's going on in Israel.
Biden not happy about everything that's happening, obviously, at least publicly. The

(01:43:04):
reality is behind closed doors business asusual, but the aid worker killing is
not helping the Israelis and their cause. During his phone call today with Prime
Minister net and Yahoo, President Bidenis expected to express his outrage and concerns
over the depths of the seven humanitarianaid workers in Gaza. It's the first

(01:43:26):
time the two leaders have spoken sincethat deadly Israeli airstrike and comes after the
President issued a strong statement criticizing Israelfor not doing enough to protect civilians and
aid workers in Gaza, but sofar that sharp rebuke has not led to
any change in US policy toward Israel. The White House not putting limits or
conditions on weapons the US is sendingthere. Karen Travers, ABC News Washington.

(01:43:47):
That's the you know, it's theaction side of stuff. You know,
so often with Trump is a visceraldisdain for his rhetoric or that he
offended somebody or whatever. But actions, what kind of actions do you do?

(01:44:14):
Is your action matching your lips?And Biden is saying all the things
in public. He thinks gonna helphim with the younger generation because he's seeing
this again, oppressor versus a pressedcolonizer, all that stuff. The younger
vote is on anything to do withthis guy, and he thinks, well,

(01:44:34):
if I get him, And Michiganobviously is a huge Muslim population,
and so he's saying all these things. And yet at the same time he's
handing them weapons and people are going, what the hell are you doing.
You're handing them weapons. You're handingthem weapons. So they're gonna have a
conversation today, We're gonna find outwhat that conversation and how it goes tomorrow.

(01:45:00):
I just think that it's going togo this way, he is going
to condemn it at the highest order. You need to do better, Bibe,
you need to do this. Baby'sgoing to come back and say,
yeah, we understand that, butwhat more are you going to give me?
And then Biden's going to say,you know, well, what do
you need and they'll go from there. That's that's it. And going into

(01:45:23):
Rafa, when are you going afterRamadan? Okay, some million plus people
by the way, in Rafa.The amount of people that are going to
die, not just from starvation,from what's going to happen there is going
to be uglier than we have everseen, maybe ever ever, because we
are watching in Ukraine and here inPalestine and the conflict going on with hamas

(01:45:50):
the largest information exposure when it comesto war than we have ever seen.
This isn't people landing on D Dayfilming. These are everyday people who are
filming everything and then giving it tothe world. Ooh and it you know.

(01:46:15):
I mean, you just have togo back to Vietnam and see how
people changed their attitude based on whatwas coming out in one picture in particular
three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson show's your Twittertweet at is texted program. It's that
time of the show. Now it'stime for stupid information, little stupid information

(01:46:43):
for you. I could bring itto you, but you know what,
I'm pretty sure Anthony found this reallystupid facts about Canada in America and our
border. Did you know that mostof the Canada and United States border is
just a cleared strip of forest.Yes. They decided to mark the longest
land boundary in the world just thatway, for five hundred miles from the
state of Maine to Alaska, bysimply cutting a twenty foot wide strip of

(01:47:05):
forest wherever there are trees. Thisdeforestation is also known as the slash.
The dividing line is also marked bymonuments. There are about eight thousand of
them along the border. All thisis done in order to have a physical
marking of the border. For example, during a hike, a person can
easily identify the boundary. Ooh canyou now, Yeah, need to build

(01:47:27):
a wall between us in Canada?Oh you think more and stupid information.
The longest border the planet with nowall and virtually nobody's stop people walking back
and forth. The slash is maintainedby the International Boundary Commission, which also
removes new trees there every five tofifteen years. An interesting fact, the
clearing of these trees costs each UStaxpayer about fifty cents per year. Unlike

(01:47:50):
the southern border, there are nofences, barriers, or military support,
making the border between the USA andCanada the most undefended border in the world.
But you can't easily cross the slashthere. Residents of the USA and
Canada can only cross the border throughcheckpoints located on major roads. Yeah,
that happens at the southern border too, that's where you're supposed to do that,

(01:48:11):
but it doesn't. If I wastrying to get into America, screw
going through the South through cartels,whether the pancake cartels though, you know,
or you need to go to Americay. Oh yeah, we'll take you.
There's not a big deal. That'sa ride setup shop. If I
was them longest undefended border on theplanet. Little stupid information for you.
Solid show today at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, your Instagram,

(01:48:33):
all of the other stuff. We'regonna have a lot of good stuff for
you tomorrow as we do, includingmore on the phone call today that I
think is one of the biggest storieson the planet, which is obviously what's
going on with Gaza and Hamas andthe battle there and Bbe and Biden talking.
What's that conversation going to be like? I have no idea. I

(01:48:55):
have a feeling that it's going tobe, like, dude, you're making
me look like an ass at andas well as yourself. You gotta sort
this crap out now now that wegot that over, what do you need?
That's what I feel like. It'sgonna go three two, three,
