Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson Inflation Nation, man,
I tell you what. Inflation isup hotter than expected. You know what's
going on, don't you. It'sall part of the plan. It's transitory.
Oh it's not transitory, Biden.You know it's it's like it's crazy.

(00:31):
So you had two stories yesterday.Obviously the abortion story will get that
a little bit in Arizona, howthat potentially could affect things. And then
the other side of it, thecost of living, which is through the
roof for anything. I just paidover ten dollars for two burritos and a
drink, whereas in the past thatwould be half that cost. It's not
cheap. It looks cheap, butit's not. Usually you could go and

(00:54):
you could get you know, cheapvalue menu items and get full. Remember
when white castles were eight. Wejust don't do it as often anymore because
the prices are really ridiculous. Icould fill it myself for a dollar.
You can't look at anything for adollar at the Bad trou Bad meals are
like almost thirty hundreds for just aburger. As a drier probably don't want
it. Pays only five bucks fora meal. I can't say I completely

(01:15):
understand why those prices are as strongas theyre. But yeah, the taco
bell's bad McDonald's, and you're notgetting very good food and it's not very
it's not a lot of food either. Hurts your pockets. Hurt your pockets.
Hurt your pockets. This is anissue that is dogging this administration.
They come out and say we're doingthis and we're doing that, and they

(01:38):
got the strike force. Do youguys remember that the reality of it is
people are not feeling it. Peopleare struggling every single day just to put
food on the table. They're makingdecisions on what to pay and what not
to pay. Before the pandemic,all of these groceries about thirty items.

(02:00):
It's one hundred dollars on average.Now, five years later, according to
Nielsen and IQ, all this coststhirty three percent more, meaning you'd have
to skip about ten items like chicken, bread, milk, and bananas to
make your one hundred dollars budget.Wow, it's cumulative. That's what we

(02:21):
talked about, right, Well,it's up three percent for no add it
up four percent there, eight percentthere, fifteen percent there. All of
a sudden and this is an issuethat this administration is going to have to
try their hardest and their damnedest toget through. But people are feeling it
every single day. I do.I know that. Man. I'll go

(02:46):
to the store and I'm like,excuse me, how much does you want?
I don't, I don't do Ihave to take out a second.
I just wanted some groceries. It'scrazy. It's just greed. It's not
just the greeds. It's always greed, man, It's just always about the

(03:06):
evil, evil corporations. It's greed. Great, great, it's nuts,
is what it is. You pompthat much money into the economy. You
hand out all of those things,you print, print, print, you
do the things, the supply change, all of that stuff. You've got
wacky ideas across the country. California, We've got plenty of those. All
of a sudden, what's it addup to. Well, the economy's great,

(03:30):
it's hot. Look at all themoney people are spending. People are
not spending money on fun goods.They're spending money on eating, and that's
gotten more expensive, so they're havingto spend more. President has an issue
something that is going to be massivefor him because I said it yesterday,

(03:51):
Abe right. The acronym abortion bordereconomy. Now it could be the economy
for you. It could be theborder for you, could be abortion for
you. But those are the threebiggies, and the economy is on everybody's
list all the time. I dostand by my prediction that before the year

(04:13):
is out to be a rake cut, just may delay it a month or
so. I'm not sure that wedon't know what the Fed is going to
do for certain, but look,we have dramatically reduced inflation from nine percent
down close to three percent, haveyou, Because this is the growth of
inflation. Let's not forget. Thisis the growth of what stuff costs,

(04:38):
and your dollars aren't keeping up withit. Even if they say our wage
growth has been great, great wagegrowth, fantastic, But then you look
and you balance out what you're makingand how much things are costing, and
you've actually taken a pay cut,and let's not forget. Then when they
look at a lot of these things, they throw out a lot of that

(04:59):
other stuff account housing and fuel andfood and ugly, we have a plan
to deal with it. Whereas theopposition, my opposition talks about two things
they just want to cut taxes forthe wealthy and uh raise taxes on other
people. And so I think theyhave no plan. Our plan is one
I think is so sustainable. Thatstrikeforce, you guys, remember that,

(05:21):
the the the strikeforce, Inflation strikeforce, you guys that I can't even you
know, I remember when they cameout with that a month or so ago.
He's like, Yeah, we're gonnahave the strikeforce thing. It's gonna
be great. It's gonna go outthere and it's just gonna it's gonna solve

(05:42):
everything. We're gonna get inflation down. These prices they're too right. There
was so funny money money, moneysuckers. There is one who is it?
A man who's vision could stop this, who leads an army of fighters.

(06:03):
Who could it be the President ofthe United States? So could he
help us? He leads a secretstrikeforce against price gouchers, crack down on
companies who break the law. I'llkeeping prices high and corporate greed monsters.
Greed is good in a world ofnumbers. We're prices or high. There's
a force that fights for you.I'm launching a new strikeforce to up unfair

(06:27):
and illegal pricing. So the nexttime you see prices soaring high, remember
Strikeforce Inflation fighters are here to pander, I mean, fight for you.
The American people are tired of beingplayed for sucker. Oh my god,
we're so we did in for nevergoing to happen. There you go.
So strike Force isn't working the waywe thought it was going to work.

(06:49):

at chat Benson Show is your Twittertweet at as text the program the other
part of ABE. Right, Sowe got the eCOM to me. We
have abortion and obviously here Arizona itis the hub of insanity. We call

(07:09):
it the Crazy az for a reason. And I said yesterday, if I'm
Republicans, I get in front ofthis, I take it to the floor
state legislator, let's repeal this thing. Well yesterday on the floor, shame
on you, Shame on you.Ha that vote. Ha vote. We

(07:30):
know that the Supreme Court decision yesterdayis extreme, and we know that should
the eighteen sixty four ban on abortionremain the law in Arizona, people will
die. People will die. That'sa wrap from Tucson. People will die.
How are they going to die.I'm just curious because the year one

(07:55):
hundred and sixty year thing isn't goingto stand. But they had a chance
to do to appeal, yes,the repeal it. They should have.
That should have been the first thing. Should have went out there, done
it. Take it. Take anote from Alabama and what took place there,
how fast they fixed that issue there, put it into this, But
instead they didn't. They tabled thevote till later on next week. The

(08:18):
Arizona Supreme Court's forty seven page rulingwas released just yesterday and twenty four hours
later. Chance from the floor ofshame. Shame, and it's simply because
we do not want to repeal thepre row law without first having a conversation
about it. The House will standadjourned until ten am Wednesday, April seventeenth,

US officials are warning Israel of animminent attack by Iran in the coming days,

(10:31):
possibly using drones and missiles to hitIsrael's regional assets to retaliate for an
airstrike last week at its consulate inSyria which killed two of its generals.
Israel has not admitted responsibility, butPentagon officials say Israel was behind the airstrike.
Israel's Defense minister is now threatening apowerful response if Iran launches an attack.

(10:52):
Yeah, they say, it's eminent. How bad of an attack is
it? You land something in TelAviv? A bunch of people, Remember
Israel, they don't mess around.They're no joke, right, It's I
always go back to remember the moveof the Untouchables, Sean Connery and Kevin
Cosner getting into it. He says, you know, you put one of

(11:13):
if they put one of ours inthe hospital, we put two of theirs
in the morgue. That's Israel.Israel is no joke. And with the
escalation to this, I tell youwhat if if they do? And in
Iran they've got a lot of proxies, so it's always you know, oh,
we didn't do anything, but yeah, we know who did it.

(11:35):
So at what point do they dosomething. Does it come directly from them
as a message or is it Hesbelah? And if it happens, does Israel
say, you know what, we'renot going after Hesbalah, we know who
ordered this. We're going straight afteryou. And we're hearing they're getting closer
with that nuclear weapon. So wouldn'tbe surprised if some nuclear facilities where Israel

(11:58):
knows where all of them are,are eventually blown to hell. Speaking of
Israel, man, what a nightmarethis is over there, and it ain't
gonna get any better. I wanteverybody understand it didn't get any better anytime
soon. There's a humanitarian crisis goingon that is massive. That being said,

(12:22):
the humanitarian crisis is caused by agroup of people that isnt Israel.
Oh, Israel is playing its partnow. But I go back to this,
None of this would happen if Octoberseventh didn't happen. So much as
we talk about this negotiation, somuch of the burden has been placed on

(12:45):
Israel, and yes, they haveto do better. With the way they're
prosecuting the war. We've said that, yes, they have to allow more
aid into Gaza, We've said thatad nauseum here. But they have someone
across the table for them from themwho carried out one of the worst attacks
in human history on October the seand is holding and killed. They could
release the hostages and make this goaway, you know. So, I

(13:05):
think, yes, there's plenty ofcriticism to be levied at Israel for the
way they've conducted the war, butlet's not forget who they're dealing with that
first of all, the way they'veconducted it. They are going after and
this is the problem. You're goingafter a bunch of people that aren't wearing
uniforms, and the collateral damage ismassive, but a vast majority of that

(13:26):
is on Hamas. A dead Palestinianis way more important to them as far
as optics looks, than a deadIsraeli soldier. They like a dead kid.
It sounds horrible, that's the realityof it. I'll throw it out
there. They love a dead kid. I've said this, Hamas has won
this round. They never want atwo state solution. Donny Deutsch brings up

(13:52):
the fact that who are you dealingwith here? Understand who it is you're
dealing with when it comes to Hamas. I want to just we bring people
back to the Hamas Charter, whichis of course all about destroying Jews in
the world. Article thirteen says therewill never be a negotiated settlement. Jihad

(14:13):
is the only answer. So wekeep talking and we're looking for a solution.
We're looking for negotiation, we're lookingfor It's not on the table for
them. And what we also takefor granted is what I call the curve
that if God some if some Godwilling, these hostages are alive, that
will get forty and we give youhundreds of prisoners back. So the ones
that did the slaughter, the onesthat started this, the ones that want

(14:35):
to destroy Western civilization, destroy Jews, Israel has to negotiate with one hand
tie by the backs. But I'llgo back to my original point. There
is negotiation. It's in their charter. They will not negotiate. They don't
want a settlement, they want aghd. Jihad is the answer. These
are their word, their words,Jihad's the answer death to Jews. They

(14:56):
want a two state solution. Twostate solutions because for Hamas it's power.
Yes, they hate the Jews,and that gives them the power they need
to control to make millions and billionsof dollars to do the things. That's
why death to Jews is important toscream, but death of Palestinians gives us
more power. Go back to whatClinton did, not the one that didn't

(15:20):
win but thought she won, Billthe actual winner. Look what happened,
how close they got. He gotIsrael to give up everything for a two
state solution. Everything, We're gonnagive it all back to you. We're
gonna give you this, we're gonnagive you some compensation, We're giving you
everything. And Amas is like,no, no, because it wasn't in

(15:46):
their best interest, which is thebest interest of Hamas. They want nothing
else but chaos. They thrive onit. And I like what Donnie Deutsch
says here because here's the reality ofall the stuff that Israel's doing. And

(16:06):
I don't agree with everything that beingsaid. Every time a kid dies,
son dies, a mother dies,a grandpa dies, what are you creating?
Thanks your question, and this isa tough question. There's two million
Palestinians, and I mean two millionin Gaza, and we know the tragedy

(16:27):
that happens. My concern going forwardis that so many are radicalized by no
fault on theirn I mean thoughts whentheir children, they're taught in school,
the hatred, and so it's notlike you can just lift off this top
piece. That's what always worries megoing forward is how radicalizes the entire population
no matter what you do. Andthat that's why I loosely go over it.

(16:48):
Think a lot of people do.Are you creating tens of thousands of
a mass fighters. It's a potentialfor that, no doubt. Three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three at Chad
Menton show your Twitter, tweet atUS text the program. We'll have more
about this. A lot of otherstuff, inflation and interesting piece John Stossel
did the other day, gigwork.Remember what we always talk about in California.

(17:10):
It's a petri dish for insanity attimes. And they love to do
stuff twenty dollars an hour for youknow, fast food workers, and then
they like to push it out tothe rest of the country. Let them
have a tryad even though it failsin California. And what they're doing with
gigwork. We'll talk about that alot of other stuff straight ahead. Chad
Benson, John Chad Benson, Joe, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This

(18:02):
is Chad Benson. California the Peatreedish of insanity. They like trying stuff.
Of course, last week it wasn'tApril Fool's joke. What did they
do. They said, hey,we've passed this law. Now all of
you get a raise. Who workat fast food, just fast food,
all of you are getting a raiseup to twenty dollars an hour, twenty

(18:26):
bucks a day, yep, twentydollars an hour. And so what are
businesses doing? They're like, yeah, no, we'll work with less,
we'll automate, will fire, layoff, whatever you want to call it,
or we'll close. Well, it'sCalifornia. They're just they're doing their thing.
And I say this because it's thePetrie dish of insanity, because the

(18:48):
whole thing is to push, push, push out their insane ideas that are
working so well in California as businessesflee and people flee California because of the
insanity that runs the state. We'lltalk later on about the new law they're

(19:10):
trying to pass, which will makeit illegal for businesses like grocery stores to
leave California without giving six months notice, trying to find a replacement grocery store.
Crazy, right, Gig workers,gig workers? What's a gig worker?
If I want to do a voiceoverfor somebody, that's just a gig

(19:32):
doing it. Well, they wantto change that because they're going to protect
me. The so called gig economyis about to get a big makeover.
The Labor Department just imposed three hundredpages of new regulations that could see millions
of American workers reclassified from independent contractorsto regular employees. I'm told this will
help freelancers recover lost wages, supportor family. This is one of the

(19:56):
President Biden's most important priorities, whichis to make sure that one job is
enough to sustain a family. Butwait, didn't left us notice how similar
rules in California made it harder tosustain a family. The law destroyed jobs.
Well, they don't care, andwe'll talk about that because remember special
interest. Everybody gets theirs. Ifyou've got enough and you can buy into

(20:19):
the club, you get yours.The goal is we're here for the little
person, even if that means wedestroy the little person. Just know we're
taking care of you. Politicians saidthis will help freelancers a lot. You're
thinking you're helping us, but you'renot. Freelancers like Ari Hirstance say this
law hurts us. This law waswritten to help the little guy. I'm

(20:41):
the little guy. I'm a musician. I'll play a gig at a venue
in and I want to hire adrummer, a bassist, and a guitar
player two hundred bucks each. Nowbefore I just cut him a check for
two hundred dollars. Now I actuallyhave to take that drummer, put him
on payroll, W two him,get workers Common Insurance, unemployment insurance.
I have to pay payroll taxes.I also have to now hire a payroll

(21:04):
company. Well that's good, likeis it? Look at all the people
you're going to employ while going broke. How good is that for you?
Man? All that extra work?I know you just wanted to play your
music at a at You know,hey, this this company's hired us to
come. We're going to play therea bunch of songs for them. They're
gonna cut us a check. Iwas gonna give you guys the money,

(21:26):
But now I have to do apayroll thing. But the good news is
we're gonna go broke having fun doingstuff. The law targeted ride share companies
like over and Lift. Politicians claimthe company's amused drivers, but now many
drivers are upset by the laws,saying I like being independent. I don't
want a boss to tell me whenor where to drive. I want to

(21:47):
do this when I want to dothis. And if now I'm an employee
and i'm w two, they're gonnadictate my hours. I don't want that.
The reason I do this is forthe freedom and the flexibility. Yeah,
isn't the hybrid work the reason everybodywants that freedom? And that's the
hybrid. I want to work atthe house when I have the freedom doing
my kind of stuff. The lookgig economy, it's so funny. People

(22:07):
have to take second job, sometimesthird jobs because the economy is doing so
well, because it sucks, andsometimes the gig economy is it's a gig.
It's what I love doing. It'snot my main source of income,
but it's what I love doing,and now you're turning it into something that
well, quite frankly, I justdon't want to do anymore. Thank you.

(22:30):
No, hey, thank you,we're protecting you. But the lawmakers
say, we know better. Whenyou have to take a side job or
third gig or fourth gig, that'snot flexibility, that's feudalism. No,
but we want to you're preventing usfrom doing what we want to do.
The law upset truck drivers too.Dozens of independents who own and operate their

(22:51):
own trucks drove around the Capitol protestingthe bill. Their protest won them an
exemption from the law. The otherpolitically connected profession got exemptions too. That's
what it's about. It's like,we're just talking about the twenty dollars an
hour minimum weights. Why is itfor fast food workers? As long as
you work at a fast food restaurantthat has more than sixty locations nationwide,

(23:12):
which is just so bizarre. Panerabread that like, oh or if you
know, if you make bread ina certain area, you don't have to.
It's wacky, But it shows youalso what politics will do the better
you're lobbing. If I was tostart an industry today, the first thing
I would do is go out andspend a vast majority of my money buying

(23:33):
the best lobbyist out there that canget to every politician. So whatever widget
I create, I can corner themarket and or force people to do certain
things in the political world that willbenefit me. It's definitely not the solution.
Can you just write us out ofthis law and help us out here,
here's some money for your next campaign. Like, No, that doesn't
seem like that's the way to kindof legislate. No, it does,

(23:57):
but that's how it's often done.Pocrats want the rest of America to copy
California's law because they say freelance workis exploitive, abusive, it's a scam.
I don't feel like I'm being takenadvantage of by anybody. When Gonzales
lobbied for the law, she didn'tmention jobs that her law might kill,
but she did say it preserves ourcurrent union jobs. AHH, there you

(24:22):
go. Who do you think isbehind a lot of this stuff? The
unions, unions, Unions, unionspush, push push unions. Unions.
Unions got to do this. They'rethe backbone of America. They're this,
They're that. They're the ones whopush why because they got a great lobbying
group and they go they spend aton of money. And who do you

(24:44):
think they spend it on Democrats?Why? Because they can get crazy,
wacky things like this past. ThisAB five is backed by labor groups who
want to unionize gig workers. Theywere expecting that all of these companies were
going to reclassify their independent contractors asemployees. In reality, what's actually happening
is they're just letting them all go. People have lost their jobs, people

(25:07):
are leaving the state. Employers aresaying I'm sorry, I can't hire you
you're from California. Now President Bidenwants to go even further past the pact.
The proact would reclassify the workers theway California did, but without the
exemptions. Once again, politicians teamup with special interests and take away our
freedom. Frustrating. And I knowbecause I'm going to get the text about

(25:33):
California is this calif It's the fourthlargest economy ab edited. It's always been
that way. When I was achild, California was the fourth largest economy
or the fifth largest economy in theworld. It's always been. Nothing has
changed. You know what's changed.It's becoming unlivable. It's becoming unaffordable for
the average person. The wacky thingsand ideas, like I said earlier,

(25:55):
were going to talk about it nexthour. So they're trying to pass a
new law in California that if youare a business owner in particular, like
a grocery store, and you wantto leave, close the store, whatever,
you have to give like six monthsnotice, you have to do everything
in your power to find somebody toreplace you. So wait, let me,

(26:18):
let me go over this. Ican't afford to do business here anymore.
I can't afford because of the crimeand the restrictions to do all of
these things that would make us profitableand sustainable. And you want me to
go out and try to convince somebodyto come in and take over for something

(26:45):
that I say is stupid and itsucks and it's breaking me. And yeah,
that's basically what we want. It'spoliticians in a nutshell right there.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty three.

(28:37):
bed participant is Tiger Woods, despitebeing listed at eighty to one odds to
win it all. Woods did makethe cut last year before having to leave

go look at all these Masters championsfrom the past, there's always a few
in there like that guy won one. Yeah, you got a green jacket,
gets to go to the dinner everyyear, gets to play in the
tournament forever. So but it'll befun. It's the Masters, lah,
you know, It's just it's oneof those places. It's tranquill. It's

just beautiful, absolutely stunning to watchthe nerves the whole nine yards. If
I was to say who my pickis this weekend, brooks Kopka, brooks
Kopka, That's that's who I'm goingwith. Speaking of nostalgia, baseball is
very nostalgic. One thing they're notnostalgic on is betting. Sho Hey Otani,

(30:26):
remember that thing a couple of weeksago. The investigation has been ongoing
since news broke three weeks ago thatfour point five million dollars had been transferred
from Otani's bank account to California bookmaker Matthew Boyer. Otani maintaining his innocence
his attorney's claiming he was the victimof a massive theft, A source confirming
to ESPN those claims were accurate.Meantime, ESPN reporting Mizoo Horrible now face

(30:48):
federal charges and is reportedly working ona plea deal. A plea deal.
Interesting, right, Like this iskind of coming gone rather quickly. Show
Hayes hitting home runs. You know, life seems to return. Still trying
to figure out how your interpreter gotall of your banking information. Show Hey.

(31:10):
Otani has maintained is inno sense,saying he wasn't involved and that he
has never bett it on baseball orany sport. ESPN reporting investigators have determined
that to be true. Fans sayingthey're eager to put this scandal behind them
and get back to baseball. Ithink shaw Hey handled it like a professional.
I think the Dodgers handled it likeprofessionals. Now we could get on
with the with the game and Loukesee who wins. Well, there you

(31:32):
go. There's only one hundred andfifty of those games left. So I
just here's a question. He wassupposedly your best friend. Is he taking
a fall for you that? Idon't know. I don't know if show
hate bet or not. I mean, it's you're an athlete and you have
millions dollars. At that point,it's just numbers. It's it's not real,

(31:57):
you know, you think about it. You've got God knows because we
talk about this big contract here,but that dude has got more money over
in Japan that flows in that youcould not believe. So it's it's just
numbers. It's not even it's notreal. So could he have bet possibility?
Major League Baseball just wants this goneLike the faster this can go away,

(32:22):
the better it is for everybody.Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twentythree at Chad Benson Show, as your
Twitter, tweet, at US textthe program. I love hearing from every
one of you. Kamala Harris iscoming out here to Arizona to fight the
good fight for the abortion issue.So that's who you send, right,

(32:44):
you send Kamala because she does agreat job on the border and we're a
border states, so why not sendher? And she was earlier this week
on a podcast and it was justit's just I don't even know how to
describe it, like it was wacky, but I expect that in the podcast

(33:05):
is just two uber liberal women arelike, oh my god, right,
oh my god. I don't thinkit's hyperbolic to say this genuinely could be
the last democratic election we ever have. You're right, listen to what he
says. He's telling me dictators aren'ta dictator for one day and then it's
let the people decide. No.And I'm going to tell you as Vice
president, I've now met with overone hundred and fifty world leaders, presidents,

(33:30):
prime ministers, chancellors, and kings. And in the last three international
trips I've taken, which are youknow, going back to the end of
last year through this year, worldleaders have come up to me expressing their
real concern. Really, I don'tthink it's hyperbolic to say something that I'm

(33:52):
going to say that's absolutely insane,although that is the definition of what's going
to happen a dictator. Dictators don'tsay you they're going to be a dictator.
Oh he did. He was joking, irony, it's being ironic there.
Yes, I'm going to be adictator day one. What I'm just
gonna undo the things that he undidthat I did before. Oh that's screams

(34:12):
of dictatorship right there. It's goingto steal everything. It's going to steal
our souls. It's going to putus all in. You know, if
you didn't vote for him, you'regoing to jail. I've met with one
hundred and fifty world leaders. Didyou did you really remember you're the one
supposed to be in charge of theborder. Let's have some fun. How
about a word salad from Kamala.It's important to see that, you know

(34:38):
the nature of democracy, there's aduality to it, has two sides to
it. Okay, On the onehand, there's an incredible strength right that
when a democracy is intact, whatit does for its people in terms of
the strength that gives its people,who protects in terms of individual freedoms and
rights, right and liberties. There'san incredible strength in that what it does

(35:00):
for its people when it is intact. On the other hand, democracy extraordinarily
fragile. Yeah, it's only asstrong as our willingness to fight for that's
by nature what a democracy is.It is about the people. Did you

(35:21):
ask them the one hundred and fiftyworld leaders? Kamala, Hey, who
are you more afraid of? Theguy that didn't ruin the world when he
was in there before? Whateverbody thoughthe was going to and is going to
become a dictator according to the freakingout in the news media lunacy or me

(35:42):
you honey you three two three fivethree eight twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Chery, which your Twittertweeteds texted program, come up. A
lot of stuff still to get to. Border stuff. We've got plenty of
that. Is there going to bean executive order from Biden? He's weighing
the options. He's weighing it,and by that he's going out and finding
out. Are people still pissed?They still believe in me? For this?

(36:06):
Talk a bit about that and moreon inflation. A lot of other
stuff to get to as well.Three two three five three eight twenty four
twenty three at Chad Benson Show's yourTwitter tweet text love hearing from all of
you. It is the Chad BensonShow. This is the Chad Benson Show,

(36:43):
Independent Thoughts, Independent life, Thisis Chad Benson. A. I
coined that term yesterday. Abortion,border economy. We've been talking about inflation.
It's up. We'll touch on thatin a little bit. Abortion obviously
big news. What's going on inthe Arizona and the border. What's going

(37:05):
to happen with the border? Bidenwas asked about the border and he's like,
what which one? And he's discussingstuff with his people. Translation,
I'll translate that for you. He'sfinding out which way the wind is blowing
and whether or not people are buyingit over the It's all Trump's fault for

(37:28):
this mess because he got the Republicansto vote against something that really wouldn't have
had much teeth to it, atleast with this president. Because how am
I going to give you more toolswhen you don't use the tools you have?
Why should I trust you to dothat? So? Could there be
executive situations here, executive orders andactions taking We're examining whether or not I

(37:50):
have that power. I would havethat power under the legislation when the border
has over five hundred thousand people,five thousand people a day trying to cross
the border because you can't manage toslow it up. There's no guarantee that
I have that power all by myselfwithout legislation, and some suggests so that

(38:12):
I should just go ahead and tryit and if I get shut down by
the court, and get shut downby the court, but we're trying to
work through them right now. Okay, But Trump did it right, and
you undid all of that. Wasit? Ninety four actions you took on
the border pretty much the first fewdays you were there in the White House?

(38:36):
Ninety four. Well, it workedand it stood up to challenges.
But this is politics, and youknow you don't want to be seen as
the bad guy. Speaking of theborder, Trump yesterday releasing all of these
videos one by one talking about Michiganand their insanity of handing money to people
to essentially airbnb their house to peoplethat are here. Lead in Michigan,

(39:00):
radical left Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer ishanding out five hundred dollars a month in
cash to anyone who accepts illegal aliensinto your homes. Isn't that nice?
She's calling this scam the Newcomer rentalsubsidy. In other words, she's calling
illegal immigrants, many coming from jails, many coming from mental institutions, many

(39:22):
a terrorists, She's calling them newcomers. Isn't that wonderful? And it's all
funded by federal taxpayer dollars distributed bycrooked Joe Biden. He's the most crooked
president we've ever had, and he'sby far the worst president we've ever had.
In other words, Biden and Whitmerare selecting and stealing your money to

(39:42):
get free housing to illegal alien migrantsand then asking you to quarter these foreign
armies. And that's what they are. They're armies. They're coming in at
levels that we've never seen ever inour country before. Foreign armies. You're
quartering them. You can't do that, right? Do we have a rule
for that? A constitution? Can't? You can't can't harbor foreign armies.

(40:07):
I will say this, and I'vesaid this before, whenever I go see
my son Jack down in San Diego, I drive by an area that is
a hotbed for not just Yuma,but a hot bed for people that are
coming across the border illegally. AndJack and I drove back last time and

(40:30):
I said, Jack, look overthere and he sees these tents and he
sees what hundreds of fighting age men. Well, Chad, most of from
me here to just just be belaw abiding citizens. Blah blah blah.
You know they don't commit as manycrimes. How would you know? Well,

(40:52):
because because they don't, it sayswhere does that come from? By
the way, a lot of thecrimes, if they do commit, are
probably against who people that are alsohere illegally. They're probably not calling the
police, so we don't know whatthey're doing. But let's just say one
percent of the people that have comehere from other countries are here to do

(41:12):
bad, whether it's crime or terrorism. What is it under Biden? Seven
point five million, maybe a littlebit more, maybe less, seventy five
thousand people we've talked about that,no reason to import that. Sorry,
oh oh yeah, continue, Butquarter these foreign armies in the spare bedroom

(41:36):
that you happen to have next toyour children. I don't know. Somehow
it doesn't sound like a very goodidea, considering many of these people came
from prisons and jails, They camefrom mental institutions and insaness alums, many
A terrorists that are coming into ourcountry totally unchecked and totally unvetted. Doesn't
sound like a good idea to havethem next to your children. But that's

(41:58):
Biden for you. Whitmer and theradical left Democrats care more about illegal aliens
than about American citizens or our military, our vets. They care much more
about illegal aliens. Oh, Crown, well, we don't treat our vets
for it. We just don't treatthem. Well, we don't. This

(42:20):
doesn't happen. But people are desperate. Why because the border is wide open,
and politically it is not right ifyou're a Democrat to come out against
Biden and say we got to fixthis. It's it's because why because you
got to support him, And thewhole thought is, we got to blame
this all on Trump, and wegot to blame this all on the Republicans,

(42:42):
and we got to blame this allon all the other stuff. Can't
just we can't ask Biden to fixthis thing, because then it could be
seen as his mess one more fromTrump. Thanks to their inflation disaster.
You can't afford to buy a house, you can't afford the increase in rent.
Yet if they're taking your money andgiving it to so called newcomers.
There's such a nice name who illegallycharged across our border. They came in

(43:07):
illegally into our country. They're callednewcomers. They're not called illegal immigrants,
they're not called illegal aliens. Thisis a scandal, and this is a
disgusting insult to hard working American taxpayers. I will end it on day one,
and when I take the oath ofoffice, America is going to be
strong, powerful, and rich again. When I'm president. Instead of asking

(43:30):
you to cram illegal aliens into yourhomes, I'll tell the illegal aliens that
they must not come into our country. They have to go back to their
homes in their countries. One wayor another, we will send them back
to their own countries. We willhave the largest and most efficient deportation effort
in the history of our country,bigger than that of Dwight Eisenhower, a

(43:53):
president from a long time ago,Thank you very much. I like Arthur's
our president from a long time ago. He's got to deport everybody because he's
a Nazi. It's gonna round himup in what send them back. Shouldn't
be here. We should be welcoming. We should be opening. You guys
know that I talk about that.Oh he just hates brown people, by

(44:15):
the way, which is a bunchof crap. You and I both know
that. How do Latinos if youwill feel about building a border wall and
deporting all undocumented immigrants. Well,since twenty twenty one, it's jump.
Forty two percent of a Latino adultsurvey say they support building a wall.

(44:36):
Forty percent say sending all on documentintegrates to the US here back should be
done. Sixty four percent of Latinossay they support giving the president authority to
shut the border down. Cuban Americans, it's sixty percent. They're not thrilled.
But my grandfather, who came herefrom Mexico, born and raised,
became a US citizen, did itthe right way. He was a big

(44:58):
let's close this border. Oh mygoodness me so much wackiness. We'll go
to the world of politics, people, so abe go over it again.
Abortion, border, economy, thosethree things outside of a world war,
those are going to be the biggestthings that are going to sway this next

(45:22):
election. And right now, theeconomy and ain't going the way that people
like because of the inflation, borderain't going the way that people like,
so two to one right now,the abortion issue is the issue for the
Republicans. They got to figure outhow to deal with. But the economy
and the border, that's all onDemocrats three two, three, five,

(47:01):
Benson Show. You my pronouns?Are they? Then? How are you
doing? Yeah? Thank you fortelling me your pronouns. I use correct
grammar, so the only only thingI'll need to refer you to is to
your face would be you. ButI'm not being rude. You can choose
your pronuns, you can choose whatyou want to call yourself, but you
don't have You don't get to requireme to use incorrect grammar and factually incorrect

(47:24):
things. You're not a plural,You're you're you're a one person, and
you're you're a female person, soI will use she and her. Thank
you very much. Wow. Thisis an interview took place about the cash
report, which we'll get to ina minute. Oh, it's just getting
started. And again, I don'tknow why you're telling me your pronouns.
I'm going to introduce you as whateveryour name is. Do what you like.

(47:46):
I guess they didn't need to tellme then, did you. Maybe
I'm just making sure people know incase they're watching and they want to refer
to me respectfully. Is it disrespectfulfor me to use correct factual grammar.
It's not incorrect or on factual gramto use singular day then pronouns for an
individual. But we're here to talkabout the cast review. Yeah, but
for you chose to bring it up. You chose to use there pronouns for

(48:07):
me, I chose to use thecorrect pronouns for a single woman who is
appearing on my show. Yeah,single woman correct, correct English correct.
You are a single person. You'renot a day. They is plural.
You're a single person. I'm nota single woman, though, I'm a
very special non binary trans person.As you just pointed out, I didn't.

(48:31):
I didn't just point that. Iintroduced you as a journalist and a
virgin radio presenter. No, justbefore I came on, you were talking
about how people with all these labelslike to be special, and I'm just
making sure that everyone knows I'm special. Okay, I'm not special. I'm
just a boring, old heterosexual marriedwoman. But you know, sorry about
that. We're not allowed to dothat anymore. That probably does make me
special. Now, I don't know. I likes. Yes, I am

(48:54):
special because I have all of thesepronouns and I have all of these things.
And the support is what they weretalking about. If you don't know
what this is, this is adamning report that came out of Britain.
What the BRIT's have done some soit's called the cast Review, four hunderd
pages done by doctor Hillary Cass,a British PEDII attrician. Everybody who's waiting

(49:15):
for their support. What did itfind out? This has to do with
gender insanity? Tell you what theyfound out. Thousands of vulnerable young people
were given life altering treatments with nogood evidence on long term outcomes. Oh,
hormone treatment that they said, oh, this is great for him.
Elevated risk of death by suicide inthis population. That's what they were told.

(49:38):
Right, if you don't give themhormones, you don't do this EH
zero evidence to support this conclusion,and social justice ideology is driving the medical
decision making. The toxicity of thedebate has created environment where professionals are terrified
to openly discuss their views. JoeRogan had a guest, a brit actually

(49:58):
talking about this willingness to monkey withthe truth just to push a narrative.
It's so bizarre, and it's it'sso bizarre that it goes all the way
down to gender experiments on children.That's how far, which you would think
would be the people that we wouldprotect the most from bad decisions, The

(50:19):
people that we protect the most historicallychildren, little kids, little kids that
are confused and may have insane parentsthat are trying to talk them into something,
which is a real thing. Yeah, little kids who have not been
sacrificed at the altar of gender ideology. That's what's happened. This is child
sacrifice in a modern form, that'swhat's happening. And their bodies are being
used to prove an ideological point.Absolutely true. So this doctor went through

(50:47):
everything and here are some of thedamning conclusions. Oh, Jad, you
only talking No, I'm talking aboutthis because this is insane, not because
this is a right red you know, meaty, juicy thing to go out.
No, it's insanity. It's children. Joe Rogan said it best.
The people should be protecting the mostchildren. We're not. We're allowing social

(51:09):
justice advocacy of I mean activists pushingthings that should never be pushed on kids.
Kids who are vulnerable, kids whoare struggling mentally, Kids who twenty
five, thirty, forty years agomaybe have struggles with boliamia, cutting,
anorexia. Now think they're a boyor a girl, and so will pump

(51:36):
them full of hormones and will doall of these things, not thinking about
the long term repercussions of somebody who'snot fully formed as a human being.
I'm talking about the brain and everything. So the report Cash report, clinicians
are unable to reliably predict which childrenand young people will transition successfully, which
might regret Who's going to regret thisin the future. A lot disproportionate number

(51:59):
of patients were birth registered females presentingin adolescence. It's one of the things
we've talked about. Autistm kids whoare you know, it's like a contagion,
right, they get around each otherall of a sudden, everybody's non
binary or trans. Many parents fearedtheir children had been medicalized by professionals who
didn't take other difficulties into account,such as loss as a parent, traumatic

(52:22):
illness, diagnoses of neurodivergency. Wetalked about autism and isolation, are bullying
in school. There's a lack ofstrong evidence that shows that puberty blockers may
improve gender dysphoria or overall mental health, which is so much of this and
this one. The majority of genderdysphoria patients and early studies found that their
symptoms kind of went away with puberty, kind of came with puberty, and

(52:46):
as they got through the puberty sideof it, they found out they were
gay or bisexual. So it startedwith the onset of puberty. They struggled
with it, and then all ofa sudden, once they kind of settled
in, they're like, ah,I'm not this or that. And they

(53:07):
talk about the fact that Finland,Sweden and many of these other countries have
already moved away from this. Butthe big takeaway, parents and medical professionals
are terrified to come out and saywe shouldn't be doing this because a small
group of people are able to pushan agenda and do things to your children
that shouldn't be done, that shouldnot be done. It is ridiculous,

(53:34):
it really is, and terrifying.It is a crazy ideology that is being
pushed upon the most vulnerable in oursociety who are struggling at a time in
their life. When a lot ofkids struggle, and then they get pushed
into something that long term effects willbe damning. And I think we're finding
that out now and in the nextfew years through lawsuits and many other things.

(53:58):
This is going to be ugly threetwo, three, five, twenty
four, twenty three at Chad BensonShow's Your Twitter, It's Chad Benson Show,
a Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad

(54:37):
Benson Inflation Nation. I always sayit, how did the millennials feel about
the economy when we report on howgreat the economy is doing? Do you
feel that? I don't feel it. I don't doubt that it's gotten better,
but nothing necessarily feels like it reallygot easier on us. I don't
feel like I'm getting a break anywhere. The American economy looks strong, a

(54:58):
robust job market, stocks near recordhas the many people are not feeling the
positive vibes. I see four hundreddollars going towards my stern loans, and
I see five hundred and forty fiveone for HOA, and I see groceries
averaging about one hundred and fifty aweek. You know, retirement portfolio might
be looking great, but we needto get there first, right, Yeah,

(55:19):
get there first. Got to getthere first. And here's the thing,
and I think this is where theDemocrats, in particular Biden misses out
on stuff is you can tell peoplehow great everything is, but if they
don't feel it. And that's whyI always said to me, consumer confidence
is always the number one indicator ofhow people are in the economy. We

(55:40):
can look at inflation, we canlook at a lot of different things,
but if you feel the economy isgood, you're going to act in a
much different way than if you feelit's bad. Inflation economy, you can
separate them somewhat. The economy inthe sense of how's your job, Oh,
my job's good, not worried aboutlosing it. We got moored enough

(56:02):
business, okay that you feel goodabout that. But on the other side
of the economy is the inflation side, where you're not the person that is
producing and or collecting from stuff youproduced, but now having to consume,
and that consumption is where it's gettingpeople. Dan and Navarro did not plan
to be a TikTok creator. Thatwas not his goal. When he graduated

(56:24):
with a history degree from the Universityof Virginia and started working at a nonprofit.
I was at the sixty thousand dollarsmark, and the only way that
I was going to crack eighty ninetypotentially was to get a grad school degree.
So Danny went back to school fora master's degree in public administration.
I had to take out seventy thousanddollars LUNs, which is more than what

(56:45):
I was making right off the bat, having to pay that debt down thrown
into the hole and right away wehave to start climbing out of it,
saddled with massive amounts of debt.Later on we're going to get to.
Last Night, News Nation had aspecial with Mike Rowe about what's going on
with the younger generation, why they'rechoosing trade schools and they're looking for other

(57:07):
things, and the stigma around college, for instance, which is you got
to go to college it's all theseamazing things. If you go to trade
school, ah jeez, you knowyou're not going to be anything. You're
gonna have to you're gonna get yourhands dirty. It's and lo and behold,
what are they finding out? Thosekids are happier. They're coming out

(57:29):
of there with very little, ifany debt at all, and they're jumping
into jobs that are paying far morethan college degrees in many places, with
better security, and and anyone,anyone, they're not behind the eight ball
with massive loans. Continue Millennial,that was eight years ago, and the

(57:49):
promise that his college degrees would leadto a steady paycheck has not paid off.
What was the dream if you wentto college we would escape provert.
Do you describe yourself as middle class? I like to think we are.
I would say lower middle class.Why because when I think of middle class,
I think about people who are ableto just get up and go and
do things within their means, andlike, not extravagant things, but be

(58:10):
able to get up and go todinner or whenever they want, or maybe
take that trip, that long weekendtrip. We don't have that luxury.
That's that's what a lot of peopleare saying they're making decisions, hard decisions
on what to pay, what notto pay. An emergency comes up,

(58:30):
they look around and they say,I gotta get new tires. There is
there. I can't avoid it.I have to do it. But I
gotta pay my phone bill, andso I'm going to have to call and
try to rob Peter to pay Paul, and then from there I'm going to
have to try to get an extensionhere or there. Frustrating, and that's
why we broke it down just alittle while ago. The difference in the
economy when you feel good about theconsumer side spending, that is what this

(58:58):
is about. Can you afford life? Many people they don't feel really worried
about whether or not they're going tohave a job. They do feel worried
about whether or not that job's goingto pay enough and help them afford life.
So when we look at the economy, you got to look at it
from the consumer side. When you'rea consumer compared to when you are a

(59:21):
manufacturer of a good, a sellerof a good, an employee, and
that's tough to do. At timesthree, two, three, five,
three, eight, twenty four totwenty three at Chad Benson show is your
Twitter tweet at as TEXTA program isgoing to be an issue going forward for
the Democrats. For the Republicans,it's abortion. For Republicans in Arizona,
the Civil War era near total abortionban is a liability come election day in

(59:44):
November. Abortion rights have won inall six states where they've been on ballots.
Many Republicans, including former Governor DougDousey and former President Trump, are
indicating the old law needs to gowhen the state needs to stick with the
current fifteen week abortion ban. Buton Wednesday, republic plans in the Arizona
State Legislature torpedoed an attempt to repealthe one hundred and sixty year old law,

(01:00:06):
which is what I said they needto do one hundred percent yesterday,
little chaos on the floor in Arizona. I said yesterday, Republicans, you
need to be in front of this. You need to repeal this law and
put in place the law you alreadypassed signed into law by Doug Doucy fifteen
weeks. But instead, shame jabyou, shame h you. How that
about? We know that the SupremeCourt decision yesterday is extreme, and we

(01:00:34):
know that should the eighteen sixty fourban on abortion remain the law in Arizona.
People will die. Ooh, it'sa local rep in Tucson talking about
people dying. Here's the thing,and I wanted my buddy Barry pointed this
out. Yesterda Barry's attorney, goodguy Barry, said, Hey, don't

(01:00:57):
be mad at the Supreme Court.Their job isn't a class. Their job
isn't to do any of the thingsthat the evil Republicans want them to do.
Their job is simply to interpret whatis in front of them and rule
on that. It is not tocraft it. Now. Unfortunately, we

(01:01:20):
have activist judges. We know thesekind of things. But that's what it
is. This isn't about them.And that's why I said, getting in
front of this, if you area Republican and getting this thing done and
dusted and put away fast. Ifyou don't do that, it's going to
cause more hell for the Republicans becauseyou don't know how to talk about this.

(01:01:42):
You just don't. This is aThis is Teresa Martinez. She's a
rap here in Arizona. She's actuallya repping on the area I'm at.
She gets mad at me all thetime because I say where I live is
the valley of the dirt people,and she gets all pissed off. But
she's a Republican talking about why aren'tyou guys repealing this now? The Arizona
Supreme Court forty seven page ruling wasreleased just yesterday and twenty four hours later,

(01:02:07):
Chance from the floor of shame,shame, and as simply because we
do not want to repeal the prerow law without first having a conversation about
it, the House will stand adjourneduntil ten am Wednesday, April seventeenth,
twenty twenty four. I don't knowwhat conversation you guys are gonna have about
it, but the only conversation shouldbe let's get rid of this thing because

(01:02:28):
it's a pain in our ass.Get text the programs several of you had
about this. Some of you arelike Chad, I I agree with you
on abortion. I don't want to, but I do. Another person says,
hey, I just want to saysomething, but what we said in
today's show. If you think abortionshouldn't be restricted, then your pro choice
not pro life. It's true thatGod gave us free will, but we
live in a society where we've decidedto make some things be illegal. So

(01:02:51):
if things like driving a car withouta license a robbing stores is illegal,
than killing babies had better be illegaltoo. Also, you said that the
fifteen week law here in Arizona impliedthe repeal of the eighteen sixty four band,
But there was language in the fifteenweek law directly saying that in no
way repealed any previous abortion related laws. That can all be solved, You
know that, And that's what theyneed to do. That's what they need

(01:03:15):
to do. They need to repealthis and then codify the fifteen week ban
and we move on with our lives. And people say, are you pro
lifed? Look, I'm pro life. That being said, I don't want
to take so away somebody's choice.I don't. And it's a state's issue
and the states you're gonna have todeal with it. But the Democrats are

(01:03:37):
going to make it a national issueand the Republicans struggle talking about this.

(01:04:42):
chat Chad Benson Show, I like, yeah, so what it's the Chat
Benson Show. The California Highway Patrolhas been cracking down on organized retail theft.

(01:05:03):
They've been making some big busts ofthings like stolen makeup and hardware store
items. Now, investigators have recoveredthree hundred thousand dollars worth of stolen lagos
in a bust. Three men anda woman have been arrested, accused of
stealing the legos from stores and thenin turn selling them for profit online and
elsewhere. Officers found rooms full ofstolen legos. Wow, three hundred thousand

(01:05:27):
dollars in stolen. That's a lotof legos. Although legos are expensive.
It's inflation crazy. You know whatelse is crazy? Have you heard a
word about that heist? Remember Easter, thirty million dollars was stolen from a
facility that houses money essentially for allover the place. Business is all over

(01:05:50):
and inhabited in California. And thenit's been quite thirty million dollars was stolen.
Thirty million dollars. We sit hereand we talk about crime and places,
the big cities where you do whateveryou want. These guys and maybe
gals or both, or maybe it'sjust gals. I don't know. Thirty

(01:06:11):
million dollars. They stole thirty milliondollars and experts are saying they may never
get these guys or gals or both. They were so clean in what they
did, they were so smooth inwhat they did. There is absolutely zero
leads at this point and who knows. So what happened is they snuck into

(01:06:38):
a site through the roof access issafe without setting off any alarms and then
disappeared. He says, all theyknow is the laped said they're great at
getting in and out without anybody noticing. So far, there's nothing, no
leads, nothing person with the case. It's quite possible they this could go

(01:07:02):
unsolved, given the level of skillinvolved with this, the fact that there's
already been zero compelling leads. Andhere's here's the other thing. They talk
about the nature of what they sold. They said, you can work backwards.
If someone sees highly unusual diamond,they remember, hey, I know
that stone, But nobody's going tobe like, oh yeah, I remember
that one hundred dollars bill. Ohmy lord, that is crazy. Narry

(01:07:29):
a word. Over the last severaldays, I still find this fascinating.
And what is it with us tooas human beings. It's I saw a
lot of stuff online about this,and a lot of people are cheering the
fact that these people stole a bunchof money, other people's money, small
businesses, and there, you know, there is this weird sense of like,

(01:07:56):
yeah, I hope they get awaywith it. You know this,
It's like with dB Cooper, right, the romantic side of things is he
steals money, he jumps out ofthe airplane. It's a mystery, the
romanticism of all of that stuff thatgoes with it. It's weird that because
I think we have this robinhood mentality. We think that that you know,
they went into some big, meancorporation's place and stole everybody's money. And

(01:08:18):
what they did is they hurt abunch of people, not physically, but
financially. Insurance companies, well,I'm glad they did insurance companies. I
mean, we're always trying to justifythat doing something like this. And what
are they doing with that money?Are they paying off everybody's medical bills quietly?

(01:08:39):
I don't know, But there isthat weird romanticism of we kind of
hope they get away with it.Staying in California and insanity. If you're
a business and you want to leave, well you might have to pay for
that, San Francisco wants to stopbusinesses from leaving by making it illegal.
Yep, if you're a grocery storein the city San Francisco, you better

(01:09:00):
give the border supervisors six months noticebefore even trying to close down your store,
according to a new proposal that's onthe table. Let's say you don't
comply by putting a bunch of noticesin your store indicating to your customers that
you are going to be closing downwithin six months. Well guess what,
then one of them can say,you're no longer providing a food resource in

(01:09:20):
my neighborhood, and now, underSan Francisco's new rule, I get to
sue you. That's right. Kids, you want to leave, you gotta
tell everybody you have to be shaped. I would put big signs everywhere going
your city council, your leaders suck. Too many people are stealing crap.

(01:09:43):
It's no longer feasible to live here. We're taxed to the hilt, and
we've decided we're bouncing. So whatSan Francisco is proposing to prevent itself from
becoming a food desert from all thesestores closing down right away is either you
can be sued by a bunch ofcitizens and a bunch of constituents. Or
you can stay open for an extrasix months and take on all those losses

(01:10:06):
yourself. That city is run bya bunch of communists, a bunch of
nutjobs who don't live in a worldof reality. Think about that. Oh,
it gets better. Now. Whoare they to tell me, as
a business owner that I have tokeep my store open and take on all
these losses, and that I evenhave to notify them that I'm going to

(01:10:28):
be leaving the city. That's mybusiness. I get to take my business
elsewhere. I don't need the permissionof some city elected bureaucrats who don't know
what the hell they're doing. Yes, yes, you do. You also
apparently have to do everything in yourpower to find a replacement store as you
leave. So think about that.Think about that for a second. You

(01:10:59):
are leaving because us it's just nolonger feasible to do business there, from
taxes to the wacky regulations, tothe fact that crime is running rapid,
especially in grocery stores and places likethat. Then you have to go out
and say, hey, why don'tyou come in here? Oh, oh,
why are you guys? Leaving becauseit's great. It's bad. No,

(01:11:23):
we're leaving because of all of thecrap. Oh that's not very nice.
I don't want to be there SanFrancisco, California. Keep doing what
you're doing, and you're gonna keepgetting what you get. Three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three Atchadventon show.
That is your ex your instant,and all that other stuff. And I'm
gonna hear from people in California,especially the liberals, going, you know,

(01:11:44):
with the fifth largest economy in theworld, you've always been that.
I lived in California a vast majorityof my life. I was born and
raised there. It's never not beenthe fourth or fifth largest economy since I
was a child. Nothing is changechanged except it's gone wackier than ever before.
Crime is a nightmare. Homelessness,the amount of money they spent on

(01:12:11):
homeless touched on a little bit earlier, we'll probably get to it next hour
is tremendous. And then with thisnew report that just came out that says,
oh, by the way, therewas zero accountability for the money.
Of course not so when people comeand say how amazing California is, eh
used to be isn't anymore. Oh, it's beautiful, but Gavin Newsom didn't

(01:12:34):
do that. Beautiful in certain places, not beautiful in a lot of other
places. Three two, three,five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson show itto your acts, your insta. Feel
free to send us a tax.By the way, on that text line
that I give you, you canalso leave voicemails if you want to as
well. It's a Chad Benson show. This is the Chad Benson Show,

(01:13:18):
Independent thoughts, independent life, thisis Chad Benson. Undecided Voters were also
asked how they think President Biden isdoing on the economy. I think he's
been absolutely disastrous for the economy.I agree. President Biden argues that his
economic record has been very good toPresident Trump's was not as good. What

(01:13:40):
are you keing off of to sayPresident Trump's economic policies would better for I
mean my past performance of my fouroh one K. I know it was
post twenty twenty and of everything kindof flipped around, But you can't you
can't blame everything on twenty twenty forforever. Oh oh, people don't sound
happy. I wonder why, becausetalked about it earlier, and I want

(01:14:02):
This is where I think politicians missout. Is the one of the great
things about Biden was he was supposedto get you right right. He had
this the great compassion in chief.Suppose you able to feel everything, and
it isn't working, and this administrationis failing to understand that. Their gas

(01:14:25):
lighting America. That's fantastic. Theeconomy and the economy while it all goes
together, you've got to separate theeconomy in a sense of consumer and producer.
I produce, work, a widget, whatever it is you're buying it.
I feel my job and my careerand everything else is going pretty damn

(01:14:46):
good. I'm not worried about losingthe gig. Then you become the opposite
of that, you're the consumer.So while the economy on the production elements
side somewhat is good, the consumptionside is the thing that worries people.
And that's where they're missing the boat. We have areas here in Pennsylvania where

(01:15:12):
it's just at a standstill right now, like things are supposed to be being
built, and the interest rates arejust way too high for people to invest
and start moving around, and Virginiajust staying with you because Pennsylvania near and
dear to Joe Biden's heart, arethere bidy policies that you would blame for
the problem, And if so,what are they? The interest rate is
so high right now, and Iknow they're trying to cut the inflation down,

(01:15:35):
but like if nobody is building,no businesses are really coming to Pennsylvania
right now, I'm trying to becomea first time hallfire. Crisis is so
high right now, it's just hard, it is. It's very hard.
In fact, what was it lastweek of the fifty major cities in America,
it's now cheaper to rent than toown. Part of that is gathering

(01:15:57):
up the down payments because you're livingpaycheck to paycheck, and that paycheck that
in twenty nineteen stretched right so youhad a little left over every paycheck that
you could put away. Then thingswent crazy and all of a sudden that
paycheck shrunk a little less. Thenit was break even. Literally paycheck to

(01:16:19):
paycheck now it is I need mypaycheck to go to ten. It goes
to eight and a half. Andthat's the struggle that people have. And
interest rates are big, they playa huge part in it. Why your
credit cards, which you've been survivingon. Those interest rates have gone up.
If you bought a car, thoseinterest rates have gone up. Let's

(01:16:41):
not even talk about the cost ofpreparing a car. And one thing that
never gets talked about, which istwenty two percent jump in car insurance.
One more from the undecided. Isthere anything Joe Biden could do or say
between now and the time you votethat would make you feel differently? Don't
even take accountability through us at allwith what's going on in the accounty,

(01:17:02):
and not even accountability like he's indenial that it's happening. Boyne Is Biden
needs to hear the people because whenhe's talking about the economy doing instellar,
he's talking about the stock market.He's not looking at homelessness or joblessness.
He's not on the ages point andthinking about how much it costs go to
the grocery store. And he's gasolatingliterally everyone in the process. That right
there is just what I was talkingabout, which was he doesn't get it.

(01:17:26):
He doesn't put himself in that situation. He sees job numbers and he
thinks jobs are great. He seeswhat's going on in the stock market,
and he says all I got.It's amazing what he doesn't understand and what
they don't get, and partially nowbecause we live in this day and age
where you could show no weakness.What he doesn't get is the consumption side.

(01:17:50):
If you make one hundred twenty granda year and you have to live
and where you live, and thecost of living, and the cost of
life is one hundred and thirty fivethousand dollars. Now with everything, you're
down, You're you're you're not livingpaycheck to paycheck. You're you're living paycheck

(01:18:11):
to paycheck to borrow to paycheck topaycheck to borrow. Speaking of Biden,
I do stand by my prediction thatbefore the year is out to be a
rake cut. Just may delay ita month or so. I'm not sure
that I don't we don't know whatthe Fed is going to do for certain,
but look we have dramatically reduced inflationfrom nine percent down so close to
three percent. Sorry, it's you'renot getting it. I expected more,

(01:18:39):
you know, I'll say. WhenBiden came in, the one thing I
said is Trump struggles with I wantto say he's not touchy feely. Let's
be real. Trump is none ofthose things. He's not touchy feely.
He's not a person that is empathizingwith you. He's more like, Ah,

(01:19:00):
you got a little cut there,rub some dirt on it, and
get on with your life, whichwe need every now and then, but
every once in a while, weneed a little bit of empathy. And
I'm talking about as a whole.Individually you may not, but I'm talking
about as a group. And Ithought Biden would be better, but he
isn't. He just isn't. Heisn't better. It isn't. He's not

(01:19:21):
selling the people the way that heshould. I'd be out there every day.
I heard ron Klain, and Ithink part of it is that just
they're so disconnected from the real world. Ron Klain is former chief staff.
Apparently he's caught on a hot micthe other day saying, yeah, nobody
gives a rats ass essentially about youbuilding a bridge where they don't live and

(01:19:45):
your infrastructure crap. What they careabout is the fact that it's five thousand
dollars for bacon. That's what theycare about. They're like, we got
one lego? What do you mean? Yeah, you guys all need the
lego? My ag because We onlygot one, so we're gonna split it,
have a little for breakfast, we'regoing to skip lunch, and we'll

(01:20:08):
have a little for dinner. Butwe built a bridge. Bridge you can
live under soon. One more fromBiden. We have a plan to deal
with it. Whereas the opposition,my opposition, talks about two things.
They just want to cut taxes forthe wealthy and raise taxes on other people.
And so I think they have noplan. Our plan is one I

(01:20:30):
think is still sustainable. Yeah,but your plan isn't what you think it
is, and it's not working.Whatever you think your plan is, it
isn't working. And people feel that, and they don't feel that you understand
what's going on. I can't blamethat all. Look, everybody says this
is all Biden Biden. I've saidthis, and I'll say I said it

(01:20:51):
with Trump, and I'll say itwith Biden. I said it with Obama,
I said with luck. We giveway too much credit to presidents when
it comes to things like the economyand whatnot. We give way too much
credit, and we also put toomuch blame on them. But there are
plenty of things that the president inparticular can do and one of those things

(01:21:14):
is selling the nation the look timesa little tough. I'm not gonna lie
to you, but we don't wantto hear that. Part of that's on
us. Part of that is onus because we want to be told what
we want to hear. Long goneare the days, you know, the
Winston Churchill saying we're gonna have to, you know, tighten our belts.
It's gonna be a long one.We can get through this together. We

(01:21:35):
we we we don't want that.We don't want to be told those things,
so they just avoid it now tryto gaslight us, which is ridiculous
three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweetat us text. The program got some
text coming in about what abortion.Everybody goes, Yeah, they did.
He'll be straight. Yeah, andyou know some of the states, right,

(01:22:00):
and I'm sure that the governor andeverybody else is going to bring it
back into reason and that will betaking care of by the very quickly.
Yeah. Trump talking about hey,Arizona, way way way too far.
So for fifty two years people havewanted to end wrote me way to get
it back to the states. Wedid that it was an incredible thing,
an incredible achievement. We did that, and now the states have it,

(01:22:21):
and the states are putting out whatthey want. It's the will of the
people. It's the will of thepeople. You put it to a vote,
and which is what I think weshould do. The problem is if
you are a Republican, you don'thave the answers because there's the rock and
the hard place for the Republicans,which is, everybody wants you to be

(01:22:43):
pro life and you may be.That being said, at the same time,
they also want choice, and thepro life people will primary you,
and you don't want to risk that. At the same time, you understand
that if you go too far,which is and you're going to be lumped
in with everybody, you're going topay the price of the best ballot box.
It's damned if you do, anddamned if you don't. And there's
not a unified message. And thisis going to be the economy is going

(01:23:08):
to be an issue for the Democrats, the borders an issue for the Democrats
and this president in particular, andthis abortion huge issue for the Republicans.

(01:27:05):
We'll talk about this in a littlebit. Seattle Dance Squad was at the
Emerald City Hodown in Seattle, andapparently now it's a hodown. So my
assumption is it's going to be alittle country country tends to lean a little
bit patriotic, you know, proudto be an American, stuff like that.

(01:27:28):
Well, apparently these ladies who wereasked to come there and perform were
booed and then told they can't dotheir dance because their American flag shirts were
offensive and triggering to audience members.I'm not lying. Kids, can't make

(01:27:50):

you know what's trending three two,three, five, three eight, twenty
four, twenty three at Chad Bensonshows your Twitter that whole nightmare about like
this is. You know, earlierthis week we played a several bits and

(01:28:35):
maybe we'll bring it back a littlebit from where from Michigan, dearborn United
States of America, where you've gotpeople who are giving speeches talking about how
America's the worst thing ever in thehistory of forever, followed by Israel that

(01:28:56):
we have no redeeming qualities, thatwere the worst thing in the history of
forever on our soil. Now that'syour right and your free speech, and
I protect your right, but understandwhat we're dealing with here, and the
fact that apparently American flagged shirts aretriggering to people, is insane, but

(01:29:27):
I expect that in today's world.I expect that big time. Three two
three, five, three, eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad
Benson's show Is Your Twitter? Alot of stuff still to get to Inflation
Nation. If you guys haven't heard, inflation is up. I do stand
by my prediction that before the yearis out to be a rake cut,
just may delay it a month orso. I'm not sure that I don't

(01:29:49):
we don't know what the Fed isgoing to do for certain, but look,
we have dramatically reduced inflation from ninepercent down close to three percent.
But let's once again go over alot of the stuff that goes into the
CPI report Inflation three months in arow. How expensive is you don't have

Sun Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

(01:31:14):
A lot of you are chiming inon the abortion issue and it's interest.
It is very interesting to hear whatpeople are saying about it. Buddy,
Phil listens out there in McMinnville,Oregon, so he thinks it was
a calculated attempt from the left toinsight so much outrage it will cause liberals
in the country to fight even thatmuch harder to win twenty twenty four based

(01:31:39):
on the Arizona election decision. It'sunderstandable. Look everything is outrage now,
Phil. I want you to understandthat. I want you to get that.
One person says, damn if youain't right about abortion, Chad,
No, I get it. Anotherperson says, we were just talking about
him in last hour and he wastalking about, you know the fact that

(01:32:05):
your pro choice. Guess what ifyou think abortion shouldn't be restricted, I'm
not saying it shouldn't be restricted.I sinking fifteen weeks is good and your
pro life if you think it is. And he said there's some things that
should be legal. So if thingslike driving a car with a license of
robbing stores illegal, than killing babieshad better be illegal too. Here's the

(01:32:26):
thing, Okay, there's no debateabout robbing stores, right left, we
think it. The debate here isis it life? Is it not life?
Is it your body? Is itthe baby? All of those things
play into it. There is nodebate on whether or not robbing stores is

(01:32:50):
and should be legal. There's nopolitics to it. There's no pro robbing
well, I mean there is Democrats, and we're just talking about I think
it would He meant is like peoplegoing with guns and robbing things. But
you know, I mean, thereis no debate about the you know,
robbing banks should be legal. It'snot like there's a big lobby group out

(01:33:11):
there going, you know what,I think we should really push for letting
people to rob banks. It doesn'twork that way, doesn't The Republicans are
going to struggle, and the leftknows that the Republicans are going to be
on the losing side of not onlythe ballot initiative, but I would also
watch Keith districts in the legislature.Yeah, cause we think of like ASAI

(01:33:35):
the presidential thing down ballot. Youalways got to look at downballot. You
know, the whole two thousand andyou know twenty was stolen well down ballot
the Republicans did. Okay, sothe Democrats only wanted to stop Trump or
some Republicans did whatever. I mean, I don't want to re litigate that
over and over again. This issomething that it's going to bring out people

(01:33:58):
that primarily on the left, thatmaybe wouldn't come out to vote. And
so those down ballots, they're goingto see D's and they're going to go,
oh yeah, this person probably hasthe same belief that I do.
It's not about convincing somebody to havean abortion or not. That is their
choice. This is about do wetrust the people to make the best decision

(01:34:19):
for themselves, and we're saying yeswe do. I would just like to
see it on the ballot where itputs it in context of weeks. So
maybe you have three choices, doyou like, here's the choice, Like,

(01:34:40):
do you think you know abortion shouldbe legal? Yes? Okay,
so up to fifteen weeks, upto you know, through the second trimester,
all the way until the the youknow, with exemptions obviously, all
the way to the birth of thebaby, all the way through the entire

(01:35:02):
pregnancy. Because I think what youwould get is a vast majority, you
know of yes, even some Republicans, a decent amount of Republicans. We've
seen that with other places in thecountry that are the Bible Belt, the
buckle of the Bible Belt in manyplaces have said, yeah, we want
to keep this legal. But Ithink what would surprise the left and take

(01:35:26):
the sting out of it, isthey're not getting thirty weeks, They're not
getting all the way up until birth, and I think that would surprise them.
So we'll see. It's definitely awin for the Democrats right now.
The Republicans are smart, They're goingto get in front of this in Arizona
and the really take this issue awayfrom the Democrats. Otherwise it's going to

(01:35:48):
be a nightmare. It's already astruggle for Republicans. It really is inflation
running wild. You know who elseis struggling inflation? Your pets. We're
helping people by helping pets, sopeople many people will go hungry before they
let their pets suffer. They'll sharewhat little food they have with their pet.
That's number one, number two.For many people, their pet is

(01:36:11):
their only family. Cody's Friends partnerswith local food banks to make sure everyone
in the family gets a meal.There are people who you know, her
in need who come for food.And there was one couple that came up
and my wife had asked whether theyneeded any dog or cat food, and
they just started crying because what theyhad been doing was sharing the food from

(01:36:32):
their table, which they have verylittle of with their pets. And each
year they give more and more.Cody's Friends provides both cat and dog foods
people in need, and they distributetwenty two thousand pounds of pet food each
month, which is over ten thousanddollars. The price of pet food is
almost doubled, and the need hasgone up dramatically, the number of people

(01:36:53):
in need. You know, withthe economy as it is, we're seeing
a lot more people. Yeah,it's a shame we forget about that.
People are their dogs and their catsand they can't afford their life, let
alone the dogs or the cats,and so It's another one of those things,
little things you don't even think about. You're like, yeah, what
about your pets. So these peopleare going out and they're they're you're going

(01:37:18):
just like you went to a foodbank and they're giving you dog and cat
food. And I will say Iwent into PetSmart a couple of weeks ago
to get dog and cat fit.I was looking at the prices of some
of this stuff and I was like, are you kidding me? I had
to come home and tell the dogs. Look, guys, we got a

(01:37:39):
lot of rabbits, and you guysare pretty quick. I think it's about
time you learned how to hunt.That dog. Don't hunt. No,
that dog, don't hunt at all. Loneliness very dangerous. Obesity and loneliness
together super dangerous, and being lonelycan trigger obesity, especially women. And
it has huge ramifications in terms ofit's on the brain. This is one

(01:38:00):
one that does not surprise me becausealso we know can cause clinical depression,
can cause anxiety disorders, can increasethe risk of alcohol and substance abuse,
and so no surprise, Yes,it can impact systems that have to do
with reward, which is food.You know, Evolutionarily speaking, we were

(01:38:21):
meant to be together with groups ofpeople and have bonds. That's how we
survived, and when that was atrisk, we look for other resources and
food is a big resource. Soagain not surprising, but it also was
interesting that it decreased centers abilities thathave to do with willpower. That right

(01:38:42):
there is doctor Saltz, psychiatrist outof New York, talking about the fact
that a we should be together andb that loneliness trigger certain things that cause
us potentially to eat, you know, bored of eating whatever it is.
One of the things that's brought upis, hey, maybe you know we
take two more any drugs. Maybeone of the things should be exercise,
because exercise has been shown over andover again that what it does to the

(01:39:06):
body, the brain, the endorphinsis tremendous. I would like to say
that psycho education should be telling peoplethen in fact, there are great benefits
to aerobic exercise three to four timesa week, thirty minutes, get your
heart rate up, and as yousaid, can go head to head with
medication from mild to moderate clinical depression, not severe depression. So it's important

(01:39:27):
for people to because loneliness is abouthaving just a few people that you feel
really intimately connected with and you canbe vulnerable with. And how do we
do that. We have to putmore of an emphasis on forming communities,
on it's okay to be vulnerable.We're not at that point now. So
just having a few people tremendous help. Loneliness epidemic in many cases leads to

(01:39:48):
obesity, which leads to a lotof other troubles. Three two, three,
five, eight, twenty four totwenty three Atchad Benton show your Twitter

We'll get to the silly, uselessinformation coming up in a little bit,
which I know you will love.But speaking of stupid and useless, if
you didn't hear Sheila Jackson Lee onMonday. She was at a high school.
Now she's a what fifteen time congresspurpose representing like central Houston area and

(01:41:46):
surrounding areas. She sits on thescience committee. She's spectacular, by the
way. So she was delivering youknow, the eclipse here it is,
she's out there. I don't know, you know why why they brought her
to this high school to do whateverit is that she was doing. But
she delivered some perplexing information about themoon, the Sun, the stars,

(01:42:09):
everything. What you will see todaywill be the closest distance that the Moon
has ever been in the last twentyyears, which means that's why they will
shut the light down, because theywill be close to the Earth, which
is an amazing experience and what weare supposed to experience. And I'm hoping
we can complete darkness, that everythingwill be shut out. Now, we

(01:42:30):
don't have any animals around here tobe able to Maybe we'll hear some dogs
barking a what how they are impacted, but you will be able to tell
because there'll be complete darkness. Okay, what it gets better, It gets
better. The sun is a mightypowerful heat. It is almost impossible to

(01:42:50):
go near the Sun, the moonis more manageable. And you will see
in a moment, or not amoment, you'll see in a couple of
years that NASA is going back tothe Moon when human beings anybody who heard
of that. We are working nowin the Artemis Project to take human beings
astronauts to land on the Moon.I don't think we've been on the Moon

(01:43:14):
in the last fifty years, sowe will be landing on the moon.
She's fun. So you guys didn'tknow about the sun. The Sun is
a mighty powerful heat, mighty powerful. She is a congress person fifteen times
who didn't get the job. Sothe moon's moving really close, the Sun
really hot. She's explaining everything toeverybody. The kids are looking bewildered.

(01:43:40):
Smaller than the sun, and theSun went in a direction and then the
Earth. Now those provide unique lightand energy, so that you have the
energy of the moon at night.And sometimes you've heard the word full moon.
Sometimes you need to take the opportunityjust to come out and see a
full moon is that complete rounded circlewhich is made up mostly of gases.

(01:44:01):
And that's why the question is whyor how could we as humans live on
the moon. Oh, it getsbetter. It's not made up of gases.
By the way, I'm so outsideof saying, you guys know the
moon's made of cheese. Uh.It just it's bewildering term limits. How
about I mean she went to Yale, she went to Virginia Law School.

(01:44:24):
You're on the science committee, lady. Oh, it's better. It gets
better. Provide unique light and energyso that you have the energy of the
moon at night. And sometimes you'veheard the word full moon. Sometimes you
need to take the opportunity just tocome out and see a full moon.
Is that complete rounded circle, okay? Which is made up mostly of gases?

(01:44:45):
Gases? And that's why the pusha question is why or how could
we as humans live on the moon. Are the gases such that we could
do that? The Sun is amighty powerful heat, and it's almost impossible
to go near the Sun. TheMoon is more manageable. And you will

(01:45:05):
see in a moment, or nota moment, you'll see in a couple
of years that NASA is going backto the Moon. Just wanted to make
sure we got it all in onemore time. I again, just what
the Sun is a mighty powerful heatThat's everything I needed to know, right
there. Geez, Oh, mylord. By the way, here's some

(01:45:30):
of the other brilliant things that shehas done. Sheila Jackson Lee. She
like I said, she's on theway. She on the Science Committee,
right, the House Science Committee SpaceSubcommittee. She made false statements during her
booker t Washington High School eclipse whatever. She You've heard the word full moon
at Lee. He's told students,right, you just heard that it's made

(01:45:56):
of gases. It's a mighty powerfulheat's almost but I mean almost impossible.
To God, You're not going tothe Sun, for God's sakes. Some
of the other stuff she's done inthe past my favorite. She went to
NASA in nineteen ninety seven and shedemanded to see the flag that the astronauts
planted on Mars. She was gentlyadvised to no human being had ever been

(01:46:17):
to Mars because it was so faraway. She then went into a rage
and accused the Space Agency, asyou do, of racism, before pointing
out her membership on the House ScienceCommittee. She's also, you know,
said in twenty fourteen on a floorspeech that the Constitution was four hundred years
old for this. She has comeout and said, look, I made

(01:46:40):
a mistake about some of the stuffthe Republicans are bouncing out of. It
wasn't even Sheila. We've listened toyou for a long time. Yes,
people make mistakes. You you're onthe House Science and Space Subcommittee. This
wasn't even close. And the BacTat nineteen ninety seven you win and said

(01:47:01):
it show me the flag you plantedon Mars. Let's just say we went
to Mars and we planted a flag. Do you think we bring that flag
back? No? Okay, justcurious about that. Three two, three,
five, three eight, twenty fourto twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your Twitter tweet at us textthe program that time of the day
when we wrap up the show.We do it every day by giving you

(01:47:26):
silly and stupid information and then Igo and smoile it all by saying something
stupid. It will take stupid tillsthis morning. It's the honest ones you
want to watch out for, becauseyou can never predict they're gonna do something
incredibly stupid. Now you're the factstupid one with the big mouth is stupid
little Last time, you should neverunderestimate the predictability of stupidity. Now it's

(01:47:53):
time for stupid informations. Talk aboutthe Moon, thanks to Shila Jackson Lee.
The Moon's average distance from Earth itis about two hundred thirty eight thousand
miles. It takes the Moon twentyseven point three earth days to revolve around
the planet. The Moon's average compositionby its weight is forty three percent oxygen,

(01:48:15):
twenty percent silicon, nineteen percent magnesium, ten percent iron, three percent
calcium, three percent aluminium, pointfour two percent chromium, zero point one
eight percent titanium. Oh yeah,yeah yeah. The Moon is mostly made
up of iron, but also containsother metals like magnesium, aluminum, silicone,
titanium, gold, silver, andmercury. The gravity is about one

(01:48:39):
six of Earth, so objects onthe Moon weigh only one six of their
weight. We could all use alittle bit of that. The Moon has
a very thin atmosphere known as exosphere, which contains helium, are Gone,
are Gone, Take me away,neon, ammonia, methane, and carbon
dioxide. The Moon's tilt means thatsome parts of the surface never see sunlight,
which allows water ice to survive insome of its craters. The average

(01:49:04):
temperature varies from minus two hundred andninety eight at night to two hundred and
twenty four during the day when infull sun, temperature on the moon can
also reach two hundred and sixty,but in darkness the temperature can go to
minus two hundred and eighty and itis not made of cheese. At Chad
Benson Show Twitter C Chad b EN s N. You guys have me
