Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. While all of the
media is focused for the most parton what's going on in Lower Manhattan.
We'll get to that in a minute. What's happening there? This guy named
Donald Trump's on trial? Who isit salacious? Of course it is?
Is it really? Now? It'sa bookkeeping thing and it's not silacious,
(00:31):
But they're gonna make it latious becausewell sex sells the other side of it.
The biggest story in the world isthe fact that Iran, from their
home turf if you will, firedoff rockets over the weekend, taking us
a step closer to who knows whatin a region that is on fire?
(00:52):
Did Teyron a massive rally in supportof the attack on Israel, Iranian leader
signaling they don't want an escalation,saying that after their assault they consider the
matter closed, warning Israel if ittakes additional action, you run will respond
within seconds. Oh really, yeah, now what was it? See?
That's the debate over the last coupleof days. Was this as I think
(01:15):
it is, Hey, we gotcrazy here inside of this country and they
expect us to do something, butyou did fire off three hundred Well we
knew most of them were going toget there. Ninety nine percent of them
didn't. Oh okay, So wasthis what I think a lot of it
(01:38):
is. We've got to have ashow for somewhat. Some people think it
was a test. Hey, we'retesting you guys. See what you got.
See how you guys can react.You can handle three? Can you
handle five hundred? Can you handlefifteen hundred? As they threatened yesterday?
No? Or is this the beginningof something that is going to get uglier
(02:01):
than we could ever imagine? Nowwe know Israel is going to come back
and do what Israel does, whichis respond. Ninety nine percent of those
missiles and drones blocked taken out ofthe sky with the help of the US,
Israel's top military chief vowing they willrespond. We would choose our responds,
the White House and other world leadersurging extreme caution, warning Israel to
(02:24):
be extraordinarily careful with whatever decision itmakes. Extraordinarily careful because like every situation
when it comes to Israel, you'vebeen attacked. Now you must be careful
in the way that you react.They weren't careful, Yeah, but you
(02:46):
have to be. Why because ofperception Okay, just be honest. It's
perception. Perception is we're the strongeston the block, even though everybody hates
us. That's the person. No, that's the reality. But to the
world, the perception is you guysare meanies. Now are we going to
(03:10):
help? That's the big question.I want you to listen to this.
Oh, these are three different reportsreally quick about what the next move is
for Israel, and now we're notdoing anything with it. The US warning
Israel it will not participate in anyIsraeli counterstrike on Iran. President Biden shaying
the US is committed to Israel's securityand commended the US efforts to help protect
(03:31):
Israel from Iran's attack. While thePresident is underscoring America's ironclad defense of Israel,
the White House is also made clearand said the US will not participate
in any retaliatory counter strikes against Iran. The Pentagon will not be evolved in
assisting with any Israeli attack on Iran, not Ariel refueling nothing. A senior
(03:52):
US official warning that Israel is intenton responding, adding that the world may
think this is over, it isnot. It is not, and we're
not helping. We might but wewon't, but there's a possibility we will.
Oh, biggest story in the world. But what's taking place in the
(04:12):
Lower Manhattan that is taking away fromall kinds of stuff like that's all that
matters, the amount of time spent. And look, there's no doubt that
anytime a US president former president ontrial in the United States never happened before.
Biggest deal ever when it comes toour politics, one hundred percent.
(04:32):
I understand that because he's also theleading candidate for the opposition party. That's
huge. But I think we doneed to show some respect to the fact
that this place here is a tenderboxready to explode. And if you think
that Israel isn't going to do somethingelse, you're fooling yourself. It's not
(04:53):
if, but when, and everybody'sexpecting something big. They said, one
of the things we're not going tohelp with is ree and that's a big
deal because there's a likelihood that theywould want to do something with jets if
they're going to attack like that,and that would need some refueling, which
they If we're not participating, that'snot going to happen. So I think
(05:17):
cyber and I heard my clients We'regoing to try to get him on later
on this week. Our military expertsay that if I'm a nuclear scientist,
which I'm not, or if you'rean Iranian general, which I am not,
have your head on a swivel.Have somebody else start your car.
Okay three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benton shows yourTwitter tweet at as text to program.
(05:40):
Okay, okay, Lower Manhattan yesterday. The trial has started the Trial of
the century. Yes, Trump bookkeeping. No, it's about Stormy. No,
No, it's about bookkeeping. Across section of New Yorkers. An
on collegy nurse, a bookseller,a salesman originally from Ireland answered questions one
by one. A woman who worksin retail sent home after saying she had
(06:04):
strong opinions about Trump that would interferewith her ability to be a fair and
impartial juror. Because that's where weare. We're on the jury side of
it now. The jury side ofthis can't get to that point of actually
getting into the trial until you havea jury and you need those The judge
(06:25):
asking if they knew potential witnesses,a who's who of the Trump family,
campaign and administration, Milania Trump,Ivanka Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Hope picks,
Michael Cohen. The judge then saying, raise your hand if you believe
you cannot be fair and impartial.More than half of the first batch of
ninety six potential jurors raised their handand were immediately dismissed. In the hallway,
(06:46):
one heard saying I just couldn't doit. At Least that person was
honest, because, as we talkedyesterday about the celebrity jurors, how many
people aren't going to be honest becausethey want to be on there. Maybe
you can't stand Trump and this isyour chance to get him. Maybe you
love Trump and this is your chanceto save them, or maybe you don't
(07:08):
care. Either way, this isyour chance to get a little bit of
fame and maybe write a book ordo something silly. No Access Hollywood tape.
No. Eight other women who madeallegations against Donald Trump going to be
admitted in this case. The judgegiving him this time to respond to the
gag order, etc. All ofthis undermines the argument that this is a
judge who is so hopelessly unfair.That's the big thing. Can he get
(07:32):
a fair trial. Dan Abrams there, who, by the way, said
last night, Ah, this trialshould never have gone on if you know
the specifics of the trial. Andit's not about a pard star, it's
about payments, It's about where didthe money come from, how did it
get there. It's bookkeeping misdemeanor atbest. The Department of Justice turned it
down. The predecessor to Alvin Braggturned it down. It had already gone
(07:57):
past its sell by date, ifyou will, and they said, well,
because of COVID, will give youanother year. So they snuck it
in under that bs. It's it'sridiculous, and we understand that. But
I'll tell you it's going to beconvicted. Absolutely, it's going to be
convicted. It's gonna happen. Now. I don't know what happens in the
(08:20):
appeals court, but I will tellyou in New York Trump's gonna beet evicted
of everything. So understand that that'sgonna happen. Then it's the appeals court.
All of these things are gonna endup in the appeals court. We're
gonna talk a little bit later aboutwhat he should be worried about trial wise,
and what he shouldn't be worried abouta lot of other stuff to get
(08:43):
to as well. Three two,three, five, three eight, twenty
four, twenty three At Shead Benson'sshows your Twitter, it's TikTok Tuesday.

(10:13):
show. You're listening to the ChadBenson Show. All eyes, or at
least both in my eyes, wereon Lower Manhattan today where the first criminal
trial against Donald Trump is officially underway. The trial began at ten am with
(10:37):
the court clerk announcing the people ofthe State of New York versus Donald J.
Trump, followed by fifteen minutes ofthunderous applause. There's a you know,
there's a gag order on Trump.He's not allowed to make inflammatory statements
about witnesses, families, of thecourt staff, or the case itself.
So, of course, on hisway into the courtroom, this morning,
Folonious Monk immediately violated that order.This is a lot of persecution, and
(11:01):
that's why I'm very proud to behere. This is an assaul of our
country. He's proud to be therefor the assault on our countries, proud
to be at his trial for payingoff a porn star. That's not what
this is about. By the way, I joked yesterday, we have a
porn star and a pecker. Waitwhat Yeah, the guy that used to
run the Inquirer, who is partof this whole thing. He'll be testifying,
(11:24):
I guess. But it's not aboutpaying off a porn star. That's
none of that is illegal. Youcan call it what you want to call
it, but it's not about that. I just want to remind everybody again,
over and over again, it isnot about that. It is bookkeeping.
Heirrors is the way that he's goingto frame it, when in fact
(11:46):
he was paying hush money to somebodyso he didn't embarrass his wife. And
you know what, whatever we're allgetting over this, it grow up.
It's not about that. And thefact that they're in this position over something
that federally they decided not to chargethat you decided you were going to go
after on a federal level, AlvinBragg. And again I'm going to We're
(12:07):
gonna go over more detail later inthe fact that you use COVID as a
reason to extend it. And thishappened back when, and oh my god,
but listen to the media, justlose their freaking mind. Israel and
Iran are close to going toe totoe to each other. You've got starvation
and war happening in Gaza and PalestineRafa soon to be. You have a
(12:33):
nightmare going on in Ukraine. Thatis a stalemate that we've all been like,
Eh, I'm kind of over this. And all that anybody cares about
is this salaciousness. It's crazy Trumpderangement Syndrome's TikTok Tuesday. What And I
ask you guys, one question,justly, one question, and I'll be
done with this because I got togo to work at forty minutes. How
angry? How angry does America haveto get to lock this mother froup?
(12:58):
Huh of get over it? Manenraged? Does any other American feel this
way? I'm sure some crazy peopleout there do, some people who are
unhinged. I get several of youwho text me and enraged. You know
what, people said the exact opposite. Why aren't you enraged about the way
that America's going? But just listento that that guy. Listen to this
(13:20):
guy again, listen to just howjust angry he is over what, sir?
Over what what has he done toyou? Tell me? I get
you don't like his politics, andmaybe you don't like him, but this
is all personal. You let itget person. You can't let it get
personal. I ask you, guys, one question. Okay, just one
question. Done with this because Igotta go to work at forty minutes.
(13:43):
Okay, how angry? How angrydoes America have to get to? Louck
this mother froup? Huh? Getover it? Man? Enraged? Does
any other American feel this way?A lot of cursed words, Sir,
I don't know if we really theway you feel. You just you need
to relax. Later on the show, we're gonna talk about stress. We're
(14:03):
gonna give you some stress tips tobreathe, not be so angry, not
take things personally. Last night,I just all night, I was like
I had things to do. I'mlike I can't WNBA draft with the first
pick in the twenty twenty four WNBADraft, the Indiana Fever select Caitlin Clark
(14:28):
University of Thank God, that wasa shocker. All of her jerseys are
sold out, so from extra smallall the way to XX large, all
of them sold out almost ten Chad, that's not very nice. It's not
(14:48):
that's just she is. She's what. I'm not gonna be mean. I
mean, you're look, they're trying. She's a great white hope. No,
she's a good basketball player. She'sa great basketball player for a woman
she is. Is she gonna changethe league where all of a sudden the
revenues are gonna explode? No,just isn't gonna happen. But and the
(15:13):
and in truth, a vast majorityand I do mean a vast majority of
money that she's gonna make has nothingto do with on court. The payday
for Caitlin Clark and the other starsof the night may not be as big
as you think. Clark will makejust over seventy six thousand dollars in a
rookie year. Over the next fouryears, she'll make just three hundred and
thirty eight thousand. Compare that tothe men of the NBA who take home
(15:37):
a minimum salary of just over onepoint one million dollars. The top draft
pick last year made more than twelvemillion, oh one hundred and eighty to
two hundred million dollars. Is theWNBA revenue, Okay, the NBA revenue
four point five billion dollars. TheWNBA is a tax right for the NBA.
(16:00):
That's it. Now here's something he'snot talked about. The National Women's
Soccer League. They've got their ownstadiums, they're they're growing the game for
soccer. They're doing all of thesethings. And obviously it's very interesting to
see the way this plays because youknow, all these women are coming here
and you're finding women over there whoare getting four or five hundred thousand dollars
(16:23):
a year to play soccer here inthe Women's Soccer League compared to the WNBA,
because because the thing is MLS isa decent league, not great,
but more kids are playing soccer thanbasketball, especially young girls. And the
women winning the World Cup back inyou know, ninety nine was huge,
(16:47):
and so we can go on andon about that. But they're they're making
bank comparatively to the WNBA, andit's because, you know, the other
product is so much better, andI wish you're the best. But she's
gonna make millions but have nothing todo Like a lot of women in sports,
we'll have nothing to do with oncourt. It's the reality of it.
(17:08):
They're gonna sell their sex appeal,they're gonna sell all of their other
things. And most people now makea ton of money off the court,
off the field comparatively to on thecourt. But and that even goes for
men, but for women in particular, it's it's vast different. Three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three At Chad
(17:29):
menton show your Twitter, It's ChadBenton Chat such Chad Benson Show, Independent
(17:55):
Thoughts, Independent Life. This isChad. Do you know what it really
sucks when your fifteen year old comesup to you and says, are you
going shopping soon? I was hopingthere would be food in the fridge today
I have ninety dollars. I haveto try to not only buy dog food,
cat food, toilet paper and garbagebags. I have to fill the
(18:17):
fridge. But it really does feellike one of those favor I'm going to
break down and cry in the grocerystore. So wish we luck. I
guess nightmare TikTok Tuesday. People arefrustrated. Inflation is going to be the
massive driver outside of some catastrophic eventsterror attack on the United States, soil,
(18:37):
World War three, things of thatnature. It's going to be huge.
Now you heard her, ninety buckstry to fill up everything, groceries
right, all of the stuff.Speaking of TikTok, let's stay there with
Alyssa Milano because it kind of playsinto what we just heard. I want
to live in America where children haveenough food deat. I want to live
(19:02):
in America where people don't have towork three jobs just to make ends meet.
And I want to live in Americathat includes women in its constitution and
passes the Equal Rights Amendment to ensurethat women have equal protections under the law.
And you know what with Bible cancan we really can we? What
(19:27):
can't you do, Alissa? Firstof all, stop asking people for money.
Secondly, what can't you do?I'm curious what can't you, Alyssa
Milano do just curious about all ofthat stuff. Well, we can't have
abortion whenever we want on demand.Well you can in California, maybe not
(19:47):
in other places. Yesterday, KellyClarkson, stay in your own lane?
Had Hillary Clinton on? Bill wantedto be here, but Hillary told me
no. Last week we saw theArizona Supreme Court uphold a law from eighteen
sixty four that band's nearly all abortions. Did you ever think in your lifetime
that we would see that happen?And like, how it's just insane to
me the thinking that went on ineighteen sixty four, Like, it's a
(20:11):
very different world. We know alot more now we're going backwards. I
know. It is horrifying. Yeah, in every way. You know,
I feared it would happen, butI hoped it wouldn't happen. And now
here we are in the you knowthe middle of this very difficult period where
women in about half the states ofour country, okay, half the states
(20:33):
in your country, which is ourcountry, can't what can't kill babies,
don't get the access you want.I mean, I mean it, just
break it down because this is farfrom settled. We understand this can be
a big deal. And again,Kelly, I wish you to stay in
your lane. Right, You're lookinggood, lost the weight, feel and
fit, you're happy, and thenyou had to go and you get into
(20:53):
the abortion battle. Why the oldlaw in Arizona, which, by the
way, can we just again thatold law is going to be gone soon
and then it'll be fifteen weeks.What happens when it's fifteen weeks? I'm
curious? Is it not enough forsome? And with exceptions obviously, right,
(21:18):
life of the you know, motherthings of that, the exception not
because I decided to know or whateverI mean? Is fifteen weeks not enough
for some people? Well you're acis white male talking about Yeah, I
am, because I'm an American andthis is a conversation. And we always
(21:41):
talk about the women that hate thewomen. Why is it never, oh
you hate the women? Why isit never, oh you hate the babies?
Oh? Well, that's not verynice. The old law in Arizona
is, you know, without exceptions. You know, the danger to women's
lives as well as to who ourright to make our own decisions about our
(22:03):
bodies and ourselves is so profound.And there's another element to it which I
find so troubling, kind of crueltyto it. No exception for rape incests,
really, and you don't realize howhard it is the fact that you
would take that away from someone canliterally kill them, the fact that they're
rape, the fact of the bytheir family member, and they have to
like that. It's just like insaneto me, of cause it is again,
(22:27):
one hundred and sixty year old lawthat will be off the books sometime
this week. Unless the Republicans areinsane, it's going to be gone.
And I go back to this.Everybody's mad at the State Supreme Court here
in Arizona. Don't be They didn'tand by the way, don't be mad
at these lawmakers. They didn't writethat law either. It's one hundred and
(22:49):
sixty years old. They just lookedand said, look, based on what
we have in front of us,as the judges, we got to go
with this. They didn't say ifit was good, if it was bad,
whether they support it don't support it. They're just saying, based on
the facts at hand and what wehave in front of us, this is
what we have to go with.There is so much voter apathy going on,
(23:11):
and that is why things like thisare happening. I agree. What
I'm hearing from everyone is that they'rejust exhausted and they feel powerless. And
even if I do vote what doesit matter. I want to vote in
a way that's going to make lifebetter for the maximum number of people and
not be trying to impose your viewson the rest of us. And so
whatever you care about, voting isyour superpower and it may not seem like
(23:33):
it, but it really is.And by the way, as I'm just
quick quick here when it comes tolet's not impose your views on others.
So when you vote for abortion ondemand or put all these trans insanity things
into everything that you can in theschools, in the whole nine yards,
(23:59):
because the school board we're voted on, they put it there and they want
to put this in there. Anddon't force your views on me, but
let me force my views on you. Is that it? We all vote
selfishly, that's the reality of it. You're voting for your own self interest
for the most part. When Ilistened to that, though, I just
(24:22):
sit there and shake my head,say, Kelly, why why'd you go
and do it? Why did yougo and do it? Do you think
there'll be somebody that's gonna come onfrom a pro life conservative that's going to
be brought on? Are you gonnabring Ted Cruz or Tom cotton or Marsha
blackberr any anybody? No? Probablynot three two three, five, three
(24:42):
eight, twenty four to twenty threeat Chad Benson Show's Your Twitter tweeted as
texta program yesterday in California, insanityreared. It's ugly head. How many
times do we have to tell youpeople get off the GT roads? Think
I heard emotions running high on theGolden gay Bridge. Cars unable to get
(25:02):
through the Golden gate Bridge shut downin both directions because of a pro Palestinian
protest. A protester a telling methat they're doing this on tax Day because
it's an economic blockade for a freePalestine. I think he jumped. Did
you help him? I did?When you block roads, I'm done with
you. When you block roads,when you say I'm gonna make your day,
(25:27):
which is already hard enough, abigger pain in the ass. You've
lost me. If I was inthat yesterday, you know what I would
have said. Hope Israel bombs theliving hell out of them. You're so
mean. You've made my day worse, You've made my day longer. That's
(25:48):
not very nice. No, it'snot. It's not very nice, but
it is reality. There and youknow this, even some of you sympathize
with maybe the Palestinian plight. Youdon't mess with people's days. A lot
of these companies that are just thinkingabout their profits and unless they're effected,
(26:08):
they need pressure. Okay, soyou're gonna go out and pressure them.
And do you think that's changing anyof this stuff? Heading into the city
for a medical procedure that involves somestem cells which are frozen and are now
defrosted and waiting for me. Iwas supposed to have them put in at
nine a m. This morning,so they have to get in today,
so I have to get there.Well, how's that going. I'm feeling
(26:29):
pretty frustrated. You know what,I believe in the rights to protest,
and I believe in the right toexpress your point of view. But I
think causing the type of disturbance tothousands and thousands of people isn't the right
way to go about it. No, and you louse, and I could
probably tell you in San Francisco she'sprobably not a uber conservative. But what
you've now done is you've pissed peopleoff and they don't fall in love with
(26:52):
your side. I'm supposed to beat UCSF at nine point thirty. I
left Sandra fell at eight thirty andsurgery department said, I have to be
there by one or I have toreschedule. And I'm supposed to have colon
surgery. Probably not gonna make itfrustrated as well, but it's okay because
they got their message across. Andwhat was that message again? Something about
Palestine that nobody cares about because you'veruined their day. Three two, three,

do that? Delegate responsibilities if youhave kids that are you know, like
for us, Charlie's five, andI have a fifteen year old a thirteen
year old. The thirteen year oldcan help get Charlie ready. She does
that every day. They go tothe same school, so it's easy and
Charlie's fairly simple. But we getour clothes and stuff laid out the day
before, and limit technology in themorning. Smart thing to do back to
(31:23):
TikTok tuesdays destressing ourselves. Here aretwo weird things you can do anytime of
day to instantly reduce your anxiety ifyou're in a constant state of perpetual anxiety
and despair. The first one islateral eye movements looking side to side.
There's literally evidence if you just lookside aside for about thirty seconds or more,
you're going to improve stress, improvesymptoms of PTSD, and break this
negative thought loop in your brain.This is kind of why walking in nature
(31:45):
often helps you with your anxiety,because you're kind of looking back and forth.
Scanning your environment is going to calmthe amygdala, which is like the
fear part of your brain. Sotry that out. Two. Is this
a stress management technique where you literallyjust take a deep breath of air through
your nose and then before you exhale, take another deep breath. Do this
for a run five minutes. It'sliterally been proven to be more effective than
meditation. Who the hell has fiveminutes to do that? We like to
(32:07):
help you, guys, but whohas that? Who's got five minutes to
go? It's wrong with Steve.I think he's on cocaine. Just helping
you out, guys, trying todistress you, because that's what we do
here. The Olympics not too faraway. I don't know if you guys
are aware of that. You wantto hear the Olympic. They had a
(32:29):
big to do today because they launched. You know, they're getting ready to
the things, getting ready to makeits run around the world. The church
we've had enough of you. Yeah, I'm excited about the Olympics. They're
break dancing in this one. Ithink they do. That's gonna be cool.
(32:52):
I mean, you know what theyshould have parkour absolutely, Like,
what's pickleball going to be in theOlympics? You had golf? Why not
pickleball? When's all that stuff canhappen? People playing around the word pad
l If you've never seen that game, that game's awesome pad L. But
it's kind of like it's it's picka ball. You could play anywhere.
It was joke. They got abig tournament this weekend. My buddy inga,
(33:12):
who what's up? Man? Butthe uh pad l is great.
It's tennis, racquetball, and picka ball all rolled into one. So
it's a lot of fun. Butbreak dancing, I'm excited. It's gonna
be a lot of cool stuff inthere. But what about the marathon.
Of course, there's gonna be amarathon. And I say that because if
you guys haven't heard a story aboutthe half marathon in China the other day
(33:37):
where people are going, I'm notquite sure this guy should have won.
This is the moment a group ofrunners appear to let Chinese runner Hoojia win
at the Beijing half marathon. Chineseinternet users pointed out this trio of African
runners who seem to slow down asthey near the finish line. One runner
from Kenya appears to wave Hoojia aheadof the rest of the pack. Just
(33:58):
seconds away from the finish, Hejjitook the lead. The trio runners cheered
for Heuji's victory and took joint secondplace. Beijing authorities and the Beijing Sports
Bureau are investigating the incident. Accordingto Chinese state run outlet The Paper,
Yeah, Hija should never have won. Those guys slowed down to a crawl,
(34:19):
and they're like waving him ahead.He's running as hard as he could.
They look like they're walking. They'reon a relaxing walk. Hey,
come on hit you. We've alreadyhad to slow our ass down one hundred
times. Oh my lord, AhGoda love sports, right, And there's
controversy. And the controversy is itwas filmed in such a way that it
(34:43):
got out. That's the controversy becauseChina would celebrate this, but the fact
that it got out and everybody's like, well, we can't celebrate this now
because it totally looks like that theylet him win because they're waving him forward.
Oh the Olympics three five, eight, twenty four, twenty three at
Chad Benson Show, It's your Twitter, your Instagram. A lot of stuff
(35:05):
to get to. More on theTrump trial, When will it happen?
Not if. When it comes toIsrael's retaliation, talked about it earlier,
It's coming, but Israel doesn't dostuff reactionary. And I was talking yesterday
a couple of people about this.Was out playing pick a ball, and
I said, Israel does stuff likethis. Watch a sporting event and a
(35:30):
player will get whacked or hit orbumped and the ref doesn't see it,
but then the guy reacts and thenthe ref catches that Israel's not that guy.
Israel's like, okay, Yeah,it's coming, but it is gonna
come today. Oh, it's coming, may come tomorrow, may come in
(35:52):
a month, may come in sixweeks. You guys may be an hour
away from a nuclear weapon. Theexcitement may be there, and we're gonna
set you back twenty five years ina heartbeat. It's coming. So talk
about that amongst other things. Threetwo, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenson Show's your Twitter. It is
the Chad Benson Show. This isthe Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,
(36:40):
Independent life, this is Chad BensonTrump on trial. We've got to build
up something for that. That's thebest I could do right now. It's
a big deal in a former presidentof the United States, the leading candidate
in the opposition party, that isfacing a trial over hush money from a
(37:06):
two thousand and six affair that youdidn't want to get out and who paid
with this the haward what? Butso it's a federal crime, but you're
charging it as a state crime.And I'm trying to put all the pieces
together here because there's a lot ofmoving pieces. So this goes back aways
(37:30):
back to the early days of thetwo thousands, then you flash ahead.
August twenty fifteen, former President Trumpmeets with the American Media Inc. CEO
David Pecker. Pecker departsar Trump Tower. Prosecutor say where Pecker agrees to be
the eyes and the ears for Trumpcampaign and flag any negative stories, which,
(37:50):
by the way, is that's nota crime. September twenty sixteen,
Donald Trump discusses one hundred and fiftythousand dollars hush payment understood to be for
former Playboy model Karen McDougall. EhMichael Cohne secretly records the conversation because that's
what you do. McDougall is allegedthat she had an extra marital affair with
Trump beginning in two thousand and six, which he denied. So what do
(38:12):
we have to do to pay forthis one? One? Fifty October seven,
twenty sixteen, The Washington Post releasesthe Access Hollywood video What two thousand
and five? Again? I'm tryingto what are we doing here? I
mean, honestly, Finally we getto Stormy Daniels October twenty seventh, the
year of the Lord twenty sixteen.According to prosecutors, Michael Cohen pays Stormy
Daniels hundred thirty thousand dollars to attorneythrough a shell company in the exchange for
(38:36):
silence about the affair she allegedly hadwith Donald Trump. The one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars some is separate paymentsfrom the one hundred and fifty thousand for
Karen, So that's two eighty.Trump had publicly denied any affairs and denied
making payments. Prosecutors say Daniel's firstbroad her story to Ami, whose executives
(38:58):
brought the story to Cone on Trump'shave and then we get into where we
are today. Well, how dowe get here? Who paid who?
How did that go? Who gotreimbursed? How did that go? Who's
your lead witness? This guy overhere, Michael Cohne. Oh, he's
a clown. Oh my lord,it's going to be fair, right.
(39:19):
Rep. Goldman Democrat Da Bragg willtreat this case with the respect that the
justice system deserves. He will onlyspeak through his prosecutors in court and court
documents. You will not see anypress conferences. He will not politicize this.
He will let the facts and theevidence speak as to whether they are
(39:40):
applied sufficiently to the law. Toget a conviction, except for the part
that he came out that day andstayed in all kinds of bologney after this
went down. Thirty four counts hecharged each count. That's I mean,
it's Look, there are some thingsthat I think Trump has to worry about,
and this is one of the things. Would this affect the way that
(40:04):
people view No, because people lookat this one as so politically motivated,
as so ridiculous that they're not goingto buy into any of You took a
federal offense of which the Department ofJustice, and your predecessor, Monsieur Bragg
said, yeah, I wan anypart of this, and you've turned it
into well, this is going tohelp you. Of course it is,
(40:25):
because that's what this is about.It's about you. It's about getting the
bad guy and getting you. Thereare plenty of things that Trump I think
needs to worry about in some ofthese other cases where there are some legitimate
concerns. This though, is ridiculous. There is actually no criminality here whatsoever.
They're trying to take a misdemeanor bookkeepingcharge and then ramp it up to
(40:46):
be a felony. Yeah, that'sit. A misdemeanor book keeping charge and
make it a felony thirty four counts, which instead of going, ah,
we got one count of this,no, thirty four, We're gonna get
him and he's going to be convicted. I am telling you guys this.
He is going to be convicted rightnow. The trial in theory is going
(41:07):
on, but it's not. It'sjury selection time. One woman essentially excuse
herself and could be heard in thehallway after she left the courtroom saying I
just couldn't do it. So itis a very small but very telling moment
about the task at hand here totry to find twelve jurors and six alternates,
that would be eighteen. I startedwith ninety six. They're down to
(41:28):
fifty. Today's the swimsuit competition.We'll see how far they get. And
each day when they eliminate people,they do it by handing them a rose.
The one who doesn't get a rosehas to leave Dan Abrams. These
were the jurors who were honest,right they came forward and said I can't
be impartial. The concern has gotto be about the other half, the
ones who will say, oh eah, I could be totally impartial. In
(41:49):
this case, how many of themare real? And I don't care if
you're for Trump or a guest Trump. You should look at the evidence in
this case and the cross section ofeverything is a politically motivated have Has there
been other cases like this that peoplehave chosen not to go after? Is
it based solely on this? Isthis really? Did you stretch this thing?
Of course you did it already passedthe statute of limitation, the sell
(42:13):
by date, and you're like,hey, COVID, You're like aheah,
COVID, We'll give you another year. What this isn't college basketball? My
COVID year is ruine. That'd likesto e college a year longer. No,
Now, there are some cases potentiallythat Trump should worry about. Let's
talk about those Donald Trump faces forcriminal indictments. And they're all serious.
But which one poses the biggest threatto him legally and practically? Now,
(42:37):
the least threatening case is the FultonCounty District Attorney's indictment of Trump for trying
to overturn the twenty twenty election inGeorgia. The prosecution's case has been playing
by legal and ethical issues, andwhile the DA's office has been angling for
a trial in August. This one'slikely to be the last of the four
tried, almost certainly after the twentytwenty four election. Okay, that's the
(42:58):
least of his concent continue. Thesecond least threatening case is the Manhattan District
Attorney's indictment of Donald Trump. He'saccused of falsifying business records relating to hush
money payments made to the adult filmactress Stormy Daniels before the twenty sixteen election.
On the one hand, this mightbe the only case tried before the
(43:19):
twenty twenty four presidential election. Onthe other hand, even if Trump is
convicted, he's looking at either amisdemeanor or a low level felony, and
he might not even be sentenced toprison time. Lloie could be And I'm
gonna say this again to everybody whwants to see him locked Up's never gonna
happen. The Secret Service has alreadysaid never going to happen. Okay,
just isn't going to happen because they'vegot to protect him and this isn't a
(43:43):
place that that can happen at.They're not going to sentence him to jail.
That's ridiculous. Part of the lawis the equal application under it.
That's part of it. So let'sjust roll with what we know here and
also let them play themselves out.I'm telling you this now now that I'm
a c sayer, he's going tobe found guilty in this. It's the
(44:04):
appeals courts that you have to go. Okay, where do we go from
here? Continue? The second mostthreatening case to Donald Trump was brought by
the federal government. Now, thisis DOJ's Special Council Jack Smith's indictment of
Trump for retaining classified documents at MarA Lago and for obstruction of justice.
Now, Donald Trump faces very seriousfederal felony charges here, and the evidence
(44:28):
seems strong and straightforward. However,he might get a favorable jury pool in
Florida, a state that he wonin both twenty sixteen and twenty twenty,
and it's not clear whether the judgewill schedule trial for before the twenty twenty
four presidential election. And as weall know, if he wins, he
can make those that one go wayalong with the one in DC. Here's
the thing about that one. Youthink jury's election is hard now in New
(44:52):
York, imagine Florida and then havingto get people through classified security clearances to
you look at the evidence. Yeah, And finally, finally, the most
threatening case against Donald Trump, DOJSpecial Council Jack Smith's indictment relating to twenty
twenty elections a version and January sixth. Now, the charges in this case
(45:14):
are the most serious, the proofseems straightforward and compelling, and Smith is
likely to have a favorable jury poolin Washington, DC. The big question,
however, is whether this case willget tried before the twenty twenty four
election. It's currently on hold whilethe Supreme Court considers Trump's argument of presidential
immunity. But if the court rulesagainst Trump promptly, we still could see
(45:36):
a trial late summer or early fallbefore the twenty twenty four election. But
no, this there is a timelimit when it comes to this thing,
because one of the things that theoptics of it is you're not going to
have him in court weeks before anelection. It's just not something that's going
to happen. And Jack Smith's alreadysaid that. So while they're trying to
(46:00):
push this thing through and the SupremeCourts can hear his immunity, and who
knows how these things are gonna go. All the people that are excited thinking
he's going to jail forever, it'snot gonna happen. And all the people
that think he's gonna walk away fromall these things with unscathed, that's not
gonna happen. Is where does allof this land when it comes to the
political side of it, Because ifthe two federal cases disappear in Atlanta and
(46:22):
the the Manhattan one, you knowhe gets convicted of the reality is,
as most people think those are sopolitical and they are, nobody's gonna care,
especially Manhattan at this point in time. And I don't know what's gonna
go on with Jordan, So we'rea long way from any of these things.
But the reality is, it's abig deal when a former president and
(46:44):
the leader in the clubhouse when itcomes to the Republicans and the opposition party
is on trial. Three two,three, five, three, eight,

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show. US Government of America. You've made
a big mistake that you can takeaway our app Well, we are the
most powerful generation that they're that thereever was. We heed our generation Z.
We won't let TikTok fall. Wewill rise, rise above it all.
(48:21):
We will save TikTok times running out? Can you hear the clock?
Oh my god, TikTok Tuesday.That person's lost their blanking mind. We
we'll save TikTok tow you defeat America. Take away the Internet where we're like,
(48:45):
I don't young kids like, doyou? So you talk face to
face with other people? You haveto be around them? You do?
You have to be around them?I don't so, but like next to
them them? Yes, yes,it's one of those things. Take Away
the Internet name we'll shame. Doyou realize that if we got rid of
(49:07):
all the scrolling stuff like not thatwe're gonna get rid of news and stuff
like that, but if you gotrid of the the endless hours of waste
that people myself included, all ofus. I raise my hand that we
do when it comes to scrolling orgetting stucked into those videos? Could you
imagine what we could get done?We could get done anything, but alas
(49:30):
we don't, and without it,we wouldn't have this. I don't even
want to go shopping anywhere. Idon't because every time I go, you
either see an elderly person not beingable to pay for a loaf of bread.
You see a mom explaining to herkids why they can't have ice cream.
I don't know where do we gofrom here? You have to destroyed
this country. They are taking awayyour rights, they are taking away your
(49:52):
money. Look at your paychecks,guys, look at your pay steps.
Okay, look at them taking awayyour money doing stuff like that. Life
is expensive. We have talked aboutit. This is and I've seen it,
and we've sitting in and we talkedabout obviously if something was to go.
We've talked about Israel. We'll talkabout it again throughout the show because
(50:14):
it's big and ron arguably the biggeststory in the world. What's happening there
and the potential what could go down. Could this lead to a domino effect
that sees all of powers, youknow, facing off. Yeah, I
think doesn't even bigger than that.But when it comes to you and I,
the average American going through our dayday to day, it's the expensive
(50:39):
life. Last night, so mywife she went to her church thing and
she's singing and doing stuff. Oh, I'm not a good singer, as
you guys know. And then Iwent and I played pick a ball and
the kids were home and we orderedin pizza. It was eighty five bucks.
And I'm like, how many pizzaswe get in a medium cheese and
we got a like they got abarbecue one. We got a couple wings
(51:02):
and like a cinnabon thing. Itwas eighty five dollars. Eighty five bucks.
That, my friend, will bethe number one factor in this election.
I go back to Abe. Abortion. Yes, going to be an
issue, no doubt about it,especially at the state levels, which will
(51:23):
drive voters to come out. That'swhat the Democrats are hoping for. But
the quicker that states can get aclear path Arizona fifteen weeks everybody moves on,
the better it's going to be forthe Republicans. Border big issue,
especially we have a terror attack somethinglike that, no doubt. But still
(51:44):
the amount of people flowing in here, it's going to be a major issue.
The economy, and we talked aboutit last week. We talked about
it, whether it's Buddy Zach.You know, here's a guy wh's a
big investment officer, manages billions ofdollars and We've talked about the fact that
he's like, Chad, you laidit up perfect. The two economies,
(52:05):
your day to day economy, thatis your work. You feel fine with
right, You're not worried about itgoing away. Business is there at this
point you feel okay. Then youtake off the hat of being the producer,
the seller, the employee, andyou put on the hat of being
the consumer. And that is goingto be the number one factor. I
(52:30):
think in November, that's about gasprices. They've been going up over the
last month twenty cents a gallon.Is the president considering any new action is
like releasing more from the strategic atilitiesduring so don't have I don't have any
new actions to read out. Iwill say I will note that gas prices
remain well below their peak back intwenty twenty two. I think that's important.
(52:52):
And the average gas price right nowis cheaper than this time last year,
and that's because of what this presidenthas been doing over the last three
years, including the SPRU strategic petroleumreserves releasing we don't have any more to
release. And what he's been doingis telling everybody, Hey, buy EV
(53:14):
vehicles because they're awesome. And theev makers are like, nah, obviously
they're not as awesome as we thinkso, but there's a perfect example of
something. And right now gas pricesstubbornly climbing again, which they normally do
this time of year. We're headingtowards Memorial Day sprigue. People get to
dig in their trips and we getthat we're switching over to the different blends
(53:37):
and blah blah blah blah blah,hurricane season whatever they come up with.
But then you throw in what's goingon throughout the Middle East and the potential
there. It is not helping,and people don't want to hear that.
Right, my old boss, yousay, don't be b problems, bring
me solutions. That's what people want. So people expect three two, three,
five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Shows.
(54:00):
Tweet out his text the program.If you miss in the show,
make sure you've had the podcast.It's a Chad Benson show, such Chad
Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independentlife. This is Chad Benson. Supreme
(54:35):
Court's busy. Over the next coupleweeks. You can hear an interesting case
today. We'll talk about that yesterday. Clarence Thomas didn't show up. Nobody
knew where he was. No noexplanation. You know, we talk about
like everybody's like sid on my orneeds to retired. If I'm a Republican
and I win, I'm like,you need to retire, dude. It's
unfortunate that this is what we haveto do. But we need some twenty
(54:58):
year old in there that can survivethe next seventy years. Oh my goodness,
but they're gonna here's some important cases. Trump's community case is next week,
and we've already been told that Trumpis not going to that because the
Judge of New York's like, thisis important too. You know that that's
important. So is this so youwill be here for this case in Manhattan?
(55:22):
Deal with it. Well. Oneof the cases being heard is so
very American in so many ways.I'm gonna tell you why. Pharmacy,
big pharma, and the government whenit comes to certain things, play the
same damn game. So what isthis. This is about January sixth and
(55:44):
the law in which these people arebeing charged under and where that law comes
from. The question for the justicesis whether a law pastor is part of
the Sarbanes Oxley financial reforms can beread to cover the January sixth riot.
Hundreds of people, including Donald Trump, have been charged with obstructing and official
proceeding, but defense attorneys argue thatstatute refers to documents and congressional investigations,
(56:07):
not the counting of electoral votes beforea joint session. The Biden administration will
urge the court to read the lawmore broadly and allow the prosecutions to stand.
Wait, what so, Sarbanes Oxley? So what took place? If
you guys don't remember Enron? Enronwas essentially a well, they were a
commodity strating company and didn't really doanything. They were supposed to be a
(56:30):
power company and they weren't. Theyjust sold all kinds of wacky things like
on options and collected bunches of moneyand put that down as money that they
were profiting, and then went againstthem. They never put the light.
It was just it was a giant, hot mess and it fell apart and
eventually so people went to jail.It was a nightmare. So they put
this into play in twenty twenty andaway it went. Now fast forward,
(56:55):
okay, so fast forward, andlo and behold January sixth, twenty twenty
one. It happens, and whattakes place, well, we know of
it. So they're charging one hundredand seventy to defendants in this, and
one of the defendants is suing andhis lawyer's like, look, this was
(57:20):
not meant for this. This wasmeant for financial records and destroying of financial
records and obstructing the investigation. Itwas not meant for this. And the
Biden Administration's like, that's pretty narrow. And why I say, they're like
big pharma. Big Pharma will goand they'll create something. Okay, Really,
(57:45):
what they're creating isn't a drug tosave your life. It's a patent.
But your patent has a sell byday. So what do they look
for? Where else can this thingwork? And whether other place can it
work so I can continue hold onto the patent. Here it's we've written
a law. Where else can weapply this law? Even though it really
has nothing to do with it tookplace on January sixth, and if you
can't see that, I think it'sridiculous. Would this have a big impact
(58:07):
on January sixth? Defendants? Absolutelyit would, So it'll be interesting.
And you know, remember When youhear the way they talk, the questions
they ask, you get a senseof where things are going and where that
ruling might come from. But togo back to twenty twenty and a financial
thing, it's like big Pharma going, hey, this stuff for heart medication.
(58:32):
We found out it's good for ADHD, So we need to expand our
patent and keep it whatever you canuse it for, right three two,
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three. Atch
had meant to shows your Twitter tweetat his text the program. Meanwhile,
Scotus has ruled about Idaho. TheSupreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its
ban on gender affirming care for transgenderminers, while lawsuits over the law go
(58:53):
forward that reverses lower courts. Thelaw passed last year allows up to ten
years in prison if actors provide hormones, huberty blockers, or other gender affirming
care to people under eighteen. Theruling show's confusion and disruption, says the
American Civil Liberties Union. Idaho's attorneygeneral says medical care should be rooted in
biological reality. I agree, onehundred percent biological reality. You've got you
(59:15):
know we're running at this thing insome states, it's ridiculous. Till you're
eighteen and you've formed this this realyou've matured. You get to the point
in your life where your body isno longer changing and it's getting to where
(59:35):
it's getting to, and it's matured, and your brain is there and you're
able to make a real decision.I don't think you should be playing around
with it. Should be experimenting onkids. We shouldn't doing any of this
dance stuff. That big report thatcame out in Britain, nary a word
from a vast majority of the left, and Europe is running away from this
because they're going, look, thesekids have some mental problems that nobody is
(59:59):
addressed. We're telling everybody that thereis no long term effects when there is
zero data to support this. Andthe reason is simple. People are terrified
to speak out. Advocacy groups.Yep, they'll come after you. They'll
hunt you down. Idaho now joinsmore than twenty other states and severely restricting
gender andfirming treatments over the objection ofmany American medical organizations. The three liberal
(01:00:23):
justices here said they would have keptthe law on hold, assuming they'll take
up the case some point in thefuture gender affirming care. It's not gender
affirming care. It is experimentation onchildren with stuff that has zero data to
back it up long term. Andbecause people are pushing this insanity, they
(01:00:44):
care about only the moments, notthe ramifications in the future because it's about
them. It's not about getting thekids better. It's not about finding out
you know, I was being aChristian. You know, there's always you
know, like, oh, doyou believe in ghosts and spirits and exorcism
(01:01:04):
and stuff? You'll you know what'sfunny is if you like The Exorcists,
one of my favorite movies, toget an Exorcist. If you want an
exorcist, you know, that'll tellyou we gotta go see psychiatr. You
gotta go see this. I'm talkingabout. If you're gonna through the Catholic
church right, doing the big thing, right the movie stuff there there are
things you have to go through.If you go in today and you said,
(01:01:24):
M'm a boy, I'm a girl, They're like, here's the medicine.
A couple of friends of mine whowanted to have weight law surgery,
They're like, the hoops I hadto go through for weight loss surgery.
They were telling me of seeing apsychiatrist doing all of these things. It's
crazy, little kid. You wantto hand them off and say good luck
(01:01:44):
to you, have a good time. Let's see where this goes. Sad
sad indeed three two, three,five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show,to Twitter, your Insta, all of
the other stuff. Iran Israel.Israeli officials telling me that there are multiple
options, from a targeted strike onan Iranian commander in a third country to
a direct strike on Iran. Andit seems that the military here is adamant
(01:02:07):
that has to reassert deterrence to signalIran that this cannot happen again. But
I'm told that every move is beingcarefully calibrated not to squander this defensive coalition
that the US built to protect Israel. What are the moves? That is
a big question, because Israel willanswer back it's not if, but when
(01:02:28):
they're patient, they're not going tojust rush out and do something that's not
their mo They're going to pick theirtime and it is not going to be
one of these things where they launchX amount of missiles and blah, blah,
no, no, no, it'sgoing to be something different. Mike
Lyons I heard him the other talk. We're going to get him later on
this week, hopefully on to talkabout this. A couple other military experts,
(01:02:52):
but they've all kind of intimated thesame thing. Hey, if you're
a nuclear scientist or a general headon a swivel, the coordination was extraordinary.
You had dozens of US and Israelifighter jets in the air, the
US fighters alone shooting down eighty armeddrones with heat seeking missiles. There were
(01:03:13):
refueling tankers in the air, shipsat sea launching anti ballistic missiles, all
the while tracking more than three hundreddrones and missiles launched by Iran and its
proxy. Sounds like we were doinga lot. But here's what we won't
be doing a little mashup of here, just to make sure everybody knows what
page we're on, the US warningIsrael it will not participate in any Israeli
(01:03:37):
counterstrike on Iran. While the Presidentis underscoring America's ironclad defense of Israel,
the White House has also made clearand said the US will not participate in
any retaliatory counter strikes against Iran.The Pentagon will not be evolved in assisting
with any Israeli attack on Iran,not aerial refueling, nothing, But we're
not going to participate. They aremaking it known that we are not going
(01:04:00):
to participate. My god, thispresident is such an effectless wonder best way
to describe him there. I justwe're gonna do everything in our power to
make sure nothing happens. You.Will defend you at all costs, but
we're not going to participate in yourrevenge tour. Just say we stand with
Israel. It's all you have tosay. Who Who's that? For?
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty three

(01:05:49):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory andI can't get out the chat Benson Show,
does anybody on you're looking for friends? That's like really hypathetic task.
But say, I have no friends. I'm not kidding. I don't have
anybody. I don't have family.I'm so alone and it's been like this
(01:06:10):
for a year and I just feelit, like at this point, it's
like eating at me, Like I'mso depressed from being so alone. It
sucks. It does. We area species that need to be in the
herd and we've gotten away from that. And you sit there and you're like,
ah, it's a gen Z kidwhining about being alone. No,
(01:06:30):
But the reality is loneliness is killingpeople, not just here Western nine countries
in particular, the westernized modern societyhas a epidemic, not just in America,
but globally. The more we're connected, the further apart we are,
and you'll get a lot more ofthese. So I don't want to make
this all long and sappy and intoa whole life story right now. But
(01:06:55):
if anybody I live in Vegas,you don't even need to live in Vegas
if you just want to, likeI don't know what texts me just to
be able to talk to people.I'm just so tired of just having no
one. If anybody wants to kietto know me, wants to be my
friend, yeah, just leave mea comment or something things Chad Benson Show
(01:07:17):
will be a friend man. Youcan enjoy it. By the way,
new data out. I want youguys to understand this. All jokes aside
TikTok Tuesday. That person's on TikTok. They're looking for somebody connections. Oh
yeah, followers doesn't mean you havefriends. New survey fifty three middle aged
adults from the US and thirteen Europeannations from two thousand and two to twenty
(01:07:38):
twenty. They track their report ofchange in loneliness every two years across midlife
years, so forty five to sixtyfive. The span provided data from the
so called silent generation of people borebetween thirty seven and forty five, baby
boomers and jen X. The studymakes it clear that middle aged Americans today
are expiring more loneliness than their peersin Europe, and that coincides with existing
(01:08:01):
evidence that mortality rates are rising forworking age adults in the US. Loneliness
is not a good thing, andwe don't get together anymore. We don't
we don't get together and do thingslike we used to. We don't go
(01:08:21):
to the to the local you knowit was the Kauwanas Club or the Elks
Lodge like we used to. Wedon't go to church. I mean obviously
that's but part of the thing aboutgetting together nothing to do with the service,
yes, I mean as a Christian, absolutely, but it had all
(01:08:42):
to do with also fellowship, beingaround other people. And we just don't
do that anymore, not like weused to, not like we used to
at all. And it's not agood situation. It shows you over and
over again through you know, andI know this is crazy. You go
through all of these, you know, studies, whether it's from Europe or
(01:09:06):
America or wherever, and study afterstudy after study shows people that being isolated,
being alone is not a healthy thing. It's not. And you don't
have to have five thousand gazillion friends. I mean, I've you know,
(01:09:28):
it's having one or two close peoplethat you talk to, that you spend
time with, that you that thatisn't your you know. For me again,
I golf. I like to dothat alone or with Jack. But
I play pickable and I love it. I go out, I'll probably go
today. I go to the reccenter. Some people look where you go.
It's not very good there. I'mlike, you know, but I
have fun. People are great,it's a good time. It's exercise,
(01:09:53):
getting out having a good time withpeople. That's why. And we just
aren't doing that enough more. Andwe need to get out there and do
it more. And I don't knowhow much of this is also not only
the connectivity right, obviously COVID playeda part over the last few years in
certain things, but just the waythat I think that we have gotten to
(01:10:16):
this point too, where we're becomingvery much a nation of everybody's in their
own bubble and echo chamber, whichis not healthy for a nation. By
the way. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson's showis your Twitter, one thing you can
do is exercise, and this grandmakilled it with her exercise. You think
you can plank, I think again. Remember that planking craze from a decade
(01:10:41):
ago. Well right around that time, Donna Jean had actually just broken her
wrist. It was an introduced herto the trendy exercise of clenching your stomach.
I'm so happy because I thought,hey, I can do something with
a cast. Once she got hercast off, every time I needed to
do schoolwork or emails or anything,I just get down and planks. Ten
years and many grated later, DonnaJean applied to Guinness World Records a few
(01:11:02):
weeks ago. If an official cameto record her attempt in front of friends,
family, and many of her formerstudents. All right, so here's
the planking records, So Donna Jean, uh, good for her. Donna
Jean though the World records, andlet's go over it, because remember,
there's different she did a there's differentfor age groups, for all kinds of
(01:11:25):
stuff. For men. The benchmarkwas set by a fifty three year old
Joseph Salek from Chechen May of lastyear. You guys ready for this nine
hours, thirty eight minutes and fortyseven seconds. Most of us probably couldn't
do forty seven seconds, let alonenine hours and thirty eight minutes. This
grandma, though, she set therecord the other day four hours and what
(01:11:48):
fifty minutes? Good for her?That's a long time. By the way,
she's yoked. It's one of thoseladies' is got the thin arms,
so you can see the veins.She's fit, fit as a fiddle.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty three
at Chad Benson Shows Your Twitter.Tweet at as text the program. A
lot of stuff still to get toMoron obviously Trump, what's going on there?
(01:12:11):
Should this have happened? Which trialis he really in some serious trouble
with? Because he's good. I'mtelling you now mark this day down.
Whatever he's going to be convicted inthis, it's going to happen. So
just to let you guys know thatit's going to happen, so not to
be a shock. Here's something we'regoing to talk about what Republicans and likely
Trump voters actually think about this trialin particular, but also what are some
(01:12:35):
of the other things that he couldseriously be in some trouble for. We'll
talk a bit about that more onIsrael. A lot of other things to
get through. Three two three,five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Shows YourTwitter. It is the Chad Benson chol.
This is the Chad Benson Show,Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This
(01:13:19):
is Chad Benson from the bottom ofthe Arroyo Seco. The view of Alejandro
Diaz's custom home. There are multiplemakeshift homes built from scrap lumber and scavenged
trash on this narrow strip next tothe one ten Freeway. But diaz Is
home, yellow with white trim,stands out. There's a concrete path to
the front door. On the otherside a garden with freshly planted flowers and
(01:13:42):
trees. Thought, I hate this. Listen where yeah he Diaz says,
everyone approves of his home, andit's clear he's house proud. How is
everybody approof of your home? Youbuilt a makeshift house on a river bed
in so other in California, everybodyapproves if you want to add like a
(01:14:04):
bathroom to your house. It's likefifty gazillion dollars in California, and it
takes months and months of baberwork.This guy builds himself a casa and everybody's
like, it's all good. Thereyou go, there you go. He
somehow managed to get the materials likethese ornamental stones across the arroyo, The
installed ladders to access his little plotof land, and there's a pulley.
(01:14:27):
Diaz came to the US from Guatemalaeight years ago. He's lived here happily
two years, not even quiam here. No one bothers him, he says,
no police, no strangers. Pleamust bendente. Inside the structure,
there's a neatly made bed. Thoughhe apologizes for the mass, he enjoys
TV and lights, extension cords drawingpower from the street light in this small
(01:14:51):
room, a toilet without running water. What in God's name are we doing
in southern California or California across theboard. You've allowed a man to build
a structure and to live on it. It's not just there, it's all
over the country where homelessness has exploded. California, though, being the epicenter
(01:15:14):
of it, this guy did.He's got TV's got the Netflix, he
is. Nobody bugs me here.I like my quiet piece of land.
It's not yours, ah, God, but I expect nothing less from California.
Case in point, people, whyit matters where the money goes?
You always talking about we need moretaxes. We need more taxes, everybody,
(01:15:36):
we need more taxes. Why isthat because we got to pay for
stuff? Okay, so where's themoney going? Oh, that's a good
question. It's the issue impacting communitiesacross the state. Homelessness. It's such
a big issue that, according tothe Legislative Analyst's Office, the state invested
(01:15:56):
twenty four billion dollars over the lastfive years to curb the problem. But
this just released report from the CaliforniaAuditor found the state lacks the proper information
to determine the ongoing costs and resultsof its homelessness programs because the California Inner
Agency Council or ICCH, in chargeof overseeing the implementation of Housing First policies,
has quote not consistently tracked and evaluatedthe state's efforts to prevent and end
(01:16:20):
homelessness. Are you kidding me?Now? How did we get here?
Well? Simple, homelessness, notjust in California, but across the country,
in big blue cities in particular,is a booming business, huge homeless
industrial complex. Billions of dollars ofmoney pour into places with no oversight.
(01:16:47):
We're not even gonna look. Wedon't care where it goes. We don't
care at all. How much don'tknow? Billions upon billions depends on what
audit side you're looking at. Howabout this? Are you guys ready for
this? What they could surmise istwenty four billion dollars to thirty programs dedicated
(01:17:09):
to preventing homelessness. Now this moneyhas been allocated from programs from twenty eighteen
to twenty twenty three, the homelesspopulation is up fifty six percent. Hey,
wait a minute, are we tryingto decrease it or increase it?
That's disappointing. I would say itwas very troubling. That was the reaction
(01:17:30):
from Republican Assembly Member Josh Hoover andDemocratic Senator Dave Cortesi. They were the
bipartisan lawmakers who originally requested the auditto take place. The audit found the
ICCH Council did track homelessess spending betweentwenty eighteen and twenty twenty one, but
not since then. Above that itshowed despite the billions of dollars spent to
combat the issue, the number ofpeople experiencing homelessness increased by more than fifty
(01:17:53):
percent between twenty thirteen and twenty twentythree. If you're a taxpayer, right
you should be outraged because obviously yourmoney is being wasted. But even if
you're a homeless advocate, someone thatwants to support these programs with state dollars,
you should be outraged, right,because the reality is is they're clearly
not getting people the help that theyneed. At the bottom line is something's
(01:18:15):
not effective, something's not getting theresults, and we just need to do
a better job now going forward oftracking and assessing. Is that it we
need to do a better job.Twenty four billion dollars. I always hear
it's like, you know, withthat money, what we could do?
Yeah, I know what we coulddo. We could have giant NGOs who
(01:18:38):
get massive contracts, who get moneythat flood into their facilities, who do
very little but the real kind oflike you know, glossy, We hand
out snacks and stuff. Everybody makessix figures plus and nothing ever gets done,
zero accountability, zero account ability.But we're doing good. And then
(01:19:00):
they'll roll out somebody who was onthe streets and maybe they had a drug
problem. They find one and thenthey parade him in front of everybody,
And the reality is the rest ofit's just pissed away. And if you
don't believe me, all of theseNGOs, all these nonprofits, go look
at their salaries. They're at nonprofits. Their salaries are out there. You
(01:19:20):
can go see what they make.It's like Wow, I didn't know.
Four hundred and fifty grand to helpthe homeless. That's great. Twenty four
billion dollars five years, basically fivebillion dollars a year, and you've increased
(01:19:41):
homelessness fifty percent. In response tothe Audit's findings, the Inner Agency Council
on Homeless has said the audit underscoresa need to continue to hold local governments
accountable, who are primarily responsible forimplementing these programs and collecting data on outcomes
the state can use to evaluate programeffectiveness. The Council continues to improve its
ability to ensure that taxpayer dollars arespent judiciously and effectively. As for what
(01:20:05):
happens next, the audit is callingon the legislature to require state agencies to
report the costs and outcomes of theirhomelessness programs. You know, we know
what's broken. We can go rightto the cure and make sure this doesn't
happen any longer. We as alegislature should be very troubled by this report
and ready to take action. Readyto take action now. Accountability it's the
(01:20:27):
word, it's accountable. Are youaccountable for what it is that you're supposed
to do. We gave you Xamount of millions of dollars. You have
built this facility, you've got thesebeds, you've done these things, and
nothing gets done and there is zeroaccountability. Maybe some of your program work,
maybe some of it didn't, butwe'll never know because we're not really
(01:20:49):
asking you to tell us whether ornot it's working. Talk about waste of
money. My god, twenty fourbillion dollars again. I want to go
over this. Were we supposed toincrease or decrease the homeless population? Well,
(01:21:09):
if you're supposed to increase that,you guys are doing a bang up
job. Three two, three,five, three eight twenty four twenty three
at Sheed Benson Show issued twitter tweetat US text the program, what will
happen in Israel? In Iran andthe conflict? Does the word don't mean
anything anymore? We've lost the bubble, We've lost the turns right. The
(01:21:30):
Uranians have already attacked Israel once onOctober seventh through their proxy Hamas. They're
continuing to fire on American interests inthe region now over one hundred times since
October seventh, and so what we'retalking about in the next twenty four or
forty eight hours is just a continuationof a failed policy to actually protect Israel.
And so when I hear President Bidensay he's prepared to defend them,
(01:21:51):
you know, last week he toldthem they couldn't continue to destroy Hamas,
and so they've really told the Iraniansthis is green light. Even even his
statements today which says, what's yourwhat's your response is don't. Well he
said don't multiple times, and don'tisn't a national security policy. It's not
even a deterrent. This is franklydon't from President Biden suggests, don't do
(01:22:12):
anything that would draw us in,and then we'll accept it. This is
really dangerous stuff. Yeah, we'regonna have more about this coming up.

TikTok world and whatnot. He wasattacked by a now what they're calling a
terrorist suspect and apparently so he gotstabbed a couple of times, and when
they finally took the guy down,apparently he prayed over the guy, which
I thought was really cool. Andthey're saying because it was a it was
like a knife was retractable what wouldhave been potentially the death blow. The

Remember that? Remember a Vander andMike ha thought, man, Mike skinning
kick his ass? And what happened? No, because the Vander was a
(01:33:30):
boxer. He was a great fighter, but he was a great boxer and
Mike's a great fighter and an averageboxer. And so what happened once the
street fight ended after the third orfourth round, it was all a boxing
match and Mike couldn't handle it.Can't believe you said that chat. I
(01:33:53):
know, I know, I know. I'm just saying, so maybe that
happens. Maybe Biden is cool calmand collected or maybe not. And it's
a mess. But if he avoidsdebate after debate after debate, does it
(01:34:13):
hurt him? I think it does. I really think it does. Let's
let's let's be hundred percent honest rightnow, and Trump's going through all kinds
of stuff. We'll talk about itin a little bit. But one of
the things is the disdain for Trump, is the enthusiasm that the Democrats have
the disdain for Trump. There isno enthusiasm elsewhere. I think him avoiding
(01:34:38):
is probably smart in some in someways. I mean here in Arizona.
Katie Hobbs is the governor. Shetook on Carrie Lake. Carrie wanted to
debate her anywhere and everywhere, andKatie wouldn't do it because she knew that
Carrie would wipe the floor with her. Because she's polished. She's an attack
(01:35:00):
you know, she's always on theattack. She's quick on her feet,
she understands the media, she understandswhat the optics would be. But nobody
questions Katie Hobbs and whether or notshe's all there. That's the difference.
In a situation like this, thereare serious questions about the mental fitness of
this president. And I think insome cases, you know, debating.
(01:35:24):
First of all, debates to meare are awful. This isn't about whose
policies are better. We kind ofknow what everybody's policy is. Anyways.
The reality is this is more aboutmental competency and do you have the wherewithal
to get out there and do things? And this we're talking five six months
from now. This debates, whathappened? You're not getting better? I
(01:35:46):
think we know that. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ChadMenson shows, your Twitter, tweet at
US text the program. You know, if you listen to the show,
you do something. When it comesto traffic and whatever you're protesting, I
hate you. I think I heardemotions running high on the Golden gate Bridge.
Cars unable to get through the Goldengate Bridge shut down in both directions
(01:36:11):
because of a pro Palestinian protest.A protests are telling me that they're doing
this on tax Day because it's aneconomic blockade for a free Palestine, a
free Palestine. Golden Gate Bridge,you guys are doing what. I wonder
how people feel about this. Headinginto the city for a medical procedure,
that involves some stem cells which arefrozen and are now defrosted and waiting for
(01:36:35):
me. I was supposed to havethem put in at nine am this morning,
so they have to get in today, so I have to get there.
You've got to get there. Soyou're thrilled by this, I'm feeling
pretty frustrated. You know what.I believe in the rights of protest,
and I believe in the right toexpress your point of view, But I
think causing the type of disturbance tothousands and thousands of people isn't the right
way to go about it. He'snot lying. I am all about protesting.
(01:37:01):
I am completely about protesting. Haveyour voice heard if you're not,
you know, screaming kill, kill, kill any I mean, I got
zero problems with I think we allknow you know the no those can fire
and crowded theater. Can I screamfire when I'm the only one in the
theater? Well yeah, then Iguess you know who you offending at that
point. But when you mess withpeople whose lives, especially in big cities,
(01:37:30):
like you know, everything is achore to get to. So if
you live in in a major city, it's not getting in your car drive
five minutes, you're there. It'sget in your car, drive somewhere,
hop on a bus, take itover. It is a chore, and
when you do these things to people, it doesn't endear them to your calls.
(01:37:54):
And in many cases, people likeme go the exact opposite way of
your cause. I will do everythingnow in my power to make sure that
I can defeat whatever cause you have. But it's not very nice, Chad.
It's not they have a right toprotest. I'm not saying that I
have a right to protest. Onehundred percent have a right to protest.
(01:38:17):
But there's a difference between you know. I mean, you're out there doing
something, and I've often wondered whatgoes through your mind, Like when you
guys are all sitting there, thisis going to bring us what notoriety it's
gonna get? Don't you guys havejobs? Obviously not because your job would
be like why aren't you here?And you're like, because I'm standing on
the Golden gate bridge for Balstein.But what happens is is your goal is
(01:38:43):
to catch more flies with honey,right, you'll attract more with crap.
But they're not staying honey. They'recoming and they're stuck in staying. What
you're doing here is you're turning peopleagainst your cause. And whether it's climate
change, insanity or this, itisn't working. And when you've got to
(01:39:03):
be somewhere and your life is turnedupside down because of your ass hattery and
all you know, somebody else isdoing something and now you've got to pay
for it. It doesn't endure peopleto your cost, nor should it.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty three

interesting and right stupid things you shouldknow. We'll do that straight head running
(01:41:13):
with scissors sounds great compared to this. Alexander comes home yesterday and this is
my he's almost eight years old.He comes home and he says, Mom,
I need you to sign this paper. Sure, I'll sign your paper.
I assumed it was for like afield trip or something, and he
was like, it's for me toget free ice cream. And I think
free ice cream. I gotta signfor that. That's weird and really nothing
(01:41:35):
could have prepared me for this formthat he hands to me. He hands
to me a form for children thathave gone through like their parents being divorced
or separated. The group is calledbanana splitz Ah, banana splitz, Hey,
(01:41:58):
are you struggling, how about anice cream? Talk about it?
Work it out? Banana splits momand dad separated? Who thought that was
a good idea? Like, yeah, these kids their parents are divorced,
we'll call the group banana splits.So anyway, I have to explain to
my son that no, I can'tsign this paper and you cannot be part
of this club because your parents aren'tdivorced. Banana splits. That's so fiss
(01:42:26):
up. That is spectacular. WhatI love is the fact that the kid
knows mom and dad aren't divorced,but he's like free ice cream, I'll
do something for free ice cream,which you got whatever, Oh goodness to
me. I figured it was oneof those things that you sign on this
TikTok Tuesday that you know, likethere may be a peanut in the building
and your kid could be allergic topeanut, so you have to sign this
(01:42:49):
to make sure or whatever. Becausecould you imagine that when because I'm fifty
three, at no point in time, I always go back to this,
and I peanut allergies are are awful, There's no doubt. I mean,
we talked about it before. Butdo you remember like the kid in your
school that had a peanut allergy andat lunch he had to sit in the
(01:43:10):
corner with the teacher. It was, you know what, because I got
peanuts, Well you shouldn't bring him. I bet they're here. So we're
just gonna do it, and you'regonna sit over there and then we'll go
play dodgeball. We'll go play dodgeballat break in between. Oh geez,
A lot of stuff going on aswe wrap up. Today's a fun show,
obviously, what's next with Iran andIsrael? Israeli officials telling me that
(01:43:33):
there are multiple options, ranging froma targeted strike on an Iranian commander in
a third country to a direct strikeon Iran. And it seems that the
military here is adamant that has toreassert deterrence to signal Iran that this cannot
happen again. But I'm told thatevery move is being carefully calibrated not to
squander this defensive coalition that the USbuilt to protect Israel. Yeah, you
(01:43:58):
know, I heard Mikelines. We'regonna get him on later on this week
to talk about this as dust settlesa little bit more. The deterrence through
force? Are they going to ornot? Was this really an attack?
We've talked about this. Yes,it was an attack, But was this
more of a hey, we gotto send some of these things. Are
crazy people need to see us dosomething otherwise they're going to go, well,
you're not crazy enough for us,so we're coming for you. So
(01:44:20):
we got to show some force.Was this a feeling out process? And
I heard Mike cleons and we'll talkto him again later on this week.
He our military expert. He said, if you're a nuclear scientist or a
general in Iran, your head ison a swivel at this point in time,
and let's not forget. And Idon't know why we talk about the
(01:44:43):
because Iran said, hey, look, as far as we're we're done in
concern is over. It's over.But Iran doesn't really understand that this is
not the way that Israel operates.It's over for you. They killed a
few of your generals and people,and yes, horrors when it came to
killing the kitchen workers. But thereality is, is you fired off three
(01:45:05):
hundred rockets and drones. What wouldthat look like had that gotten through?
So was it proportionate? No,So we'll see, we'll see what this
looks like. But it's coming andwhat is it? And I keep saying,
don't take off the table the cyberattacks and stuff like that, that
(01:45:29):
is really important, especially when itcomes to their nuclear facility. And so
I you know, we we're allthinking major bombs and jets, think about
some other things as well. Andthen of course obviously Trump Trump uh in
court for the ridiculous Stormy Daniels thing. Oh goodness, I just he can't
(01:45:54):
help himself, you know, itwas like the gagord. He just can't
help himself. I get it.It's repost related to attacks that he made
against Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen thatare causing problems for the Warren President.
For each one of those posts,one thousand dollars fine is what prosecutors say
Donald Trump deserves. Now that's notgoing to be heard until about a week
from now if that happens. Remember, we've heard another judge in the New
(01:46:17):
York Attorney General's case he is DonaldTrump say hey, listen to a certain
point, I'm going to hold gingcontempt of court. He just this is
this goes back to this is myissue a lot of times with Trump.
But I was talking to a coupleof people yesterday because you know, I
always talking about I go out andplay golf and pick a ball, and
these guys are really cool. Butyou know, they start asking me questions
earlier today about you know, Trumpand this, and I said, you
(01:46:38):
know, I like a lot ofwhat he does. But they said,
you know, I like when yousay he could pick a fight with his
own shadow in a dark room.Some of the ridiculousness of it, the
fact that he attacks being his attorney, has got to be just chaos at
this point in time because you're like, no matter what you say is like,
don't do it. He's like,all right, I'm not going to
(01:46:59):
do it. And the minute youturn around, it's like, where is
he He's doing it? You figured, Okay, this is the way this
is gonna go. Just focus whereyou can focus. That's what I'm trying
to tell you, guys. Threetwo, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenson Show, to Twitter, your
Instagram, all of the other things. We end the show each and every
day giving you, well, justsome stupid info, and then I go
and spoil it all by saying somethingstupid. We'll take stupid pills this morning.
(01:47:24):
It's the honest ones you want towatch out for, because you can
never predict they're gonna do something incrediblystupid. Now you're the fact stupid one
with the big mouth is stupid.Little last try. You should never underestimize
the predictability of stupiditing. Now it'stime for stupid information. All right,
(01:47:49):
talk a little bit about stupid information. We live in a twenty four hour
news cycle. You guys know thatthat twenty four hour news cycle really is
about twenty four minutes. Because somethingis changing every single second. We have
access like we never had access before. And we know that and things change
on a dime. As they wouldsay. April eighteenth, nineteen thirty,
according to the BBC, good eveningtoday is good Friday. There's no news
(01:48:13):
what Yeah, this is what itsounded like. This is the national program
of the BBC. There was nonews tonight. So until nine o'clock,
here is some music on record.There's no news tonight. In reality,
April eighteenth, nineteen thirty was quitea notable day when it came to the
(01:48:34):
Brits. Nationalist rebels conducted a raidon British forces in India, which then
part of the British Empire. Butcommunication lines were cut during the attack,
making you possible for anybody. Therewas no phones, There was none of
that stuff the way that we thinkof it today, So they didn't know
what was going on. They wereunder the impression that there was no big
news happening and they weren't going toreport on local stuff, so they just
(01:48:56):
came out and said there is nonews today. He has some music.
You'll never get that today. Threetwo, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad BensonShow it's your Twitter, tweet and
text. You guys have a blessed, blessed, amazing Tuesday. Okay,
I'm not really a fan of Tuesday. We know you're not, but you
