(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. Trump on trial.
I got to get one of those. Maybe I'll make one of those today.
Trump bun trial. Yep, Trumpstill on trial in the President of
the United States, former president thelater in the clubhouse by the way for

(00:30):
the Republicans. Who is going tobe in court again today, Not on
the campaign trail, but in court. Donald Trump must return here when Jerry's
selection resumes this morning to find thefive remaining jurors and six alternates. A
whole new batch of prospective jurors isgoing to be responding to the questionnaire that

(00:51):
asks things like whether they've ever beento a political rally for or against Trump,
whether they have any strong views ofTrump that would prevent them from being
fair. Hmm, that's tough.That's tough. Do you have any strong
Yeah, they've got some strong views. Most people do have strong views of
Trump. Trump got the most votesin the last election. And by that,

(01:15):
I mean he got the most votesfor and the most votes against.
If you will, because you werethe coming and voting for him because you
liked him or you hated him,and you're voting for Biden. Buden got
the most votes Yeah, but hewouldn't have had Trump not been running,
is what I'm trying to say.And before we even get to sit down
and have that trial, you gotto get rid of these jurors. You
got to find some jurors. Thosealready sworn in must be ready as soon

(01:38):
as Monday for possible opening statements.There's the school teacher who said she admires
how Trump speaks his mind, andthe grandfather who called Trump fascinating and mysterious.
I'm not quite sure the mysterious,fascinating, absolutely mysterious. Yeah,
we don't know who he is.No, we know exactly who Trump is.
Trump's whoever you want him to be. So far, each side has

(02:01):
used six of its ten peremptory strikesthat eliminate a potential juror for almost any
reason. Each side will be givenmore such strikes when it comes time to
see if the alternates. Trump hascomplained about this process, but it is
on track to end, perhaps bythe end of the week. Perhaps perhaps

(02:21):
it does, Perhaps it doesn't.They get strikes that'd be neat if you
had a h button it and ifthey should do it like it's is it
the voice where everybody sits and facesthe other direction, and when they start
asking questions to the juror the potentialjurors, you can hit it and your

(02:44):
chair spins around to see it ifit's the juror you want. It's about
to get a little slower. Whybecause once they're out of their peremptory challenges
right, once each side can nolonger just dismiss a juror for any reason
apart from race, then the fightsstart over whether and why jurors should be
dismissed. Hmm, it's going totake a while. I have a feeling

(03:09):
they keep saying, get ready forMonday. They can still fight over jurors
right now for cause, But whenyou've got no more challenges left the four
cause fights become a little more vicious, So be prepared for that. Could
you be opening arguments start on Monday? It's potential. Is there also potential

(03:31):
that this thing could drag on andhe could fall asleep? Again? She
didn't fall he did, because it'sboring. I would have fallen asleep speaking
of jurors, that some of thejurors that were potential jurors were dismissed were
out there and MSNBC ran over,let's talk to them. You were seated

(03:52):
there, how far away from DonaldTrump, the former president? Quite close
on oh gosh, estimate, youknow, maybe hmm, thirty feet twenty
feet. It was odd. Itwas so odd, such an interesting experience
because it's I had never seen himin person before, you know, and

(04:14):
you see someone blown up so largerthan life on the media for so many
years. To see them in personis very jarring, and you get the
sense that it's like, oh,this is just another guy. And also
he sees me talking about him,which is bizarre. Did you make eye
contact with him? Yes? Yeah, at what point? What was that?

(04:39):
I believe right before I started toread off the questionnaire and right after
I finished, before I got upto go, when I was just it
made the whole thing feel more realin a way, because I guess when
you're on any jury, it's youhave elements of that person's future in your
hands. So, whether it wasTrump or or whether it was some stranger

(05:02):
off the street in Manhattan who Ihad never heard of before, if you
commit to sitting on the jury,you can change that person's life forever.
And you felt that, yeah,you can't change that person's life. Let's
explain this. You deliver a verdictbased on things that they've done and the

(05:26):
truth. You don't get to changethat person's life. You're just delivering yay
or nay on guilt. You changetheir life if you lie about the situation
that you have presented evidence with.That's how you change their lives. I

(05:48):
can't stand Trump, I Hayden,but I could totally be unbiased. Can
you share your opinion of the formerpresident and why you felt that you could
be unbiased. I'm not a fan. I during COVID nineteen, I lived
with someone who was munocompromised, andI think his handling of COVID nineteen was

(06:12):
abysmal. I also have associate whohas adopted from China, and the comments
he made about China when who wasrunning for president made her very anxious and
therefore made me angry. There arepolicies he's supported that in regard to women

(06:36):
and reductive health that I do notagree with, and I think all of
that needs to be addressed. WhatThank god you're not on the jury.
At least she was honest. Right. It's funny because I want you guys

(07:00):
to listen to sunny host and talkabout the jury. She just talks about
Clay Travis is like, Ah,you got to get some conservatives on that
jury. It's sad that we're atthat point now in our lives where it's
like, we better get somebody whoreally supports him or hates him on the
jury so we can get a verdict. We like, they are never going
to find someone that doesn't know aboutthe former twice impeached loser president, right,

(07:23):
No, one's no, They're nevereven find that. But what I
did find also interesting about my SuperBowl is that the legal teams will be
checking the juriors social media profiles tosee if they can assess the truthfulness and
intention of what they said during VOIDIR, which is their questioning. And I
think that's really really important because ifyou start liking Trump, say you follow

(07:45):
Trump's stuff on social media, areyou going to can you be impartial?
I don't really think so. AndI think what could happen in a case
like this is if you have someoneand we were talking about this morning,
someone named Klay Travis is sort oftelling people to get onto that jury.
You get one person that sneaks ontothat jury with untoward feelings that person can

(08:05):
hang that drury and that's on toa jury. You have to be caught.
You lie, you lie, yousay, yeah, that's I hate
Trump, but I can be impartialand I this than that, and then
all of a sudden, that's theperson they're going to find. The jury
of perspaure is how many bloated orangecycles out there? God Trump derangement syndrome.
So would you guys feel the sameway if somebody got on the jury

(08:28):
that hated Trump specifically to make surethat Trump was found guilty. Probably not
Trump derangement syndrome. It is real. The cult. There is a cult
of Trump that some people out therejust they adore him. They hang on
every word. I'm not gonna lieto you. I don't do that.
I hear from you guys a lot. And there are people out there who

(08:50):
have a cult of hating Trump,which is also fascinating. Speaking of fascinating,
Joe Biden can't stop lying. That'snot true. Joe Biden tells the
true twenty four to seven. Now, the dude lies all the time.
This one's about his uncle and whathappened to him in World War Two.
It's a doozy I'm not gonna lieto you guys. It is a zouze.

(09:11):
We're gonna talk a bit about thatabortion majorcas. So much stuff the
USC valor Victorian's not gonna be ableto speak. Why is that talk about
that? Amongst other things? Somuch stuff to get to my pillow right
now, speaking of stuff to getto twenty five dollars, Super Extravaganza to

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show. On this vote, the yea's
are fifty one, the nays areforty eight. One senator responded, President,

(10:39):
the point of order is well takenand the article falls. What woh
not gonna impeach my orcists? Noimpeachment for you? So, oh,
my goodness me, we know thatwas gonna fail, right, all of
you understood that was going to fail. I just want everybody to understand that

(11:03):
that was always going to fail becauseit was ridiculous. Now it doesn't mean
you shouldn't have heard it, butblaming my orci is for the administration's failure
to do anything when it came toanything at the border that was real is
a joke. He's just you know, he's just doing what they ask him

(11:24):
to do, and he, Iguess, does it. Well, this
process must not be abused, Itmust not be short circuited. History will
not judge this moment. Well,no, oh, marriage. That's Mitch
McConnell. There, bah history willnot very well, that's terrible for our

(11:46):
conscercial or Chuck Sherbridge just blew itup. So say goodbye to impeachment trials
because that's the practical result. Butshould he have been impeached, that's the
big question. Should he have beenimpeached? Well, he's failing at his
job, understandable, but we knowthat and I've said this over and over
again, as has several other peoplethat maybe you've listened to. Peachment is

(12:07):
a political process. High crimes andmisdemeanors. None of that stuff rose to
this level. While he has failedat his job, the reality of his
job is the president sets the agendafor his job. And that's why Cum
November is our good buddy here saysyou're a good buddy in mind. Mike
Johnson, Well, there could bea reckoning. The idea that the Senate

(12:28):
and under Chuck Schumer's leadership, votedon party lines to not even allow the
American people to evaluate the evidence isshameful. So's a violation of their constitutional
responsibility. And I think there'll bea reckoning for all this in the election
cycle. In the fall, Ireally do well, thank you very much
for that. There'll be a reckoningin the fall. There's a good chance
of that. What have we said, abortion, border, economy, those

(12:52):
are the three big things this fall. An abortion is something the Democrats know
is a winning argument. And yesterdayin a swing state, Arizona got that
one hundred and sixty four year oldlaw. That's now a place, you
guys gonna get rid of it.Arizona Republican lawmakers refusing to repeal one of
the toughest abortion laws in the country, banning abortion in all cases except to

(13:16):
save the life of the mother.The last thing we should be here today
is rushing a bill through the legislativeprocess. Democrats outraged. We're talking about
a bill that was passed before Arizonawas even a state, before women had
the right to vote. Arizona oneof twenty one states to ban or severely
restrict abortion since the Supreme Court overturnedRoev Wade. Yes. And why does

(13:37):
that matter? Simple? If hegets on the ballot, Republicans, what
happens you lose Arizona one of fourteenstates where abortion could be on the ballot
this fall. Abortion rights has wonwherever it's gone before voters, including in
conservative states like Kansas, Kentucky,and Ohio. Republican lawmakers told me they're
not worried. Voters are smart.They would rather vote for somebody that they

(14:00):
respect and disagree with than somebody whodoesn't believe in anything. Donald Trump has
boasted of nominating three of the fivejustices who overturned row we Broke, gro
V Wade. Still, Trump saysArizona went too far. Yeah, I
can't have it both ways. AndI like I said, well, you
know, we'd rather vote for somebodythat we believe in and like than somebody

(14:22):
who doesn't believe in something. Well, then you don't vote for anybody in
politics because the people will tell themwhat to like and they'll go with it
because they're worried about power and theirjob. And so that's it. And
it's the thing that we've talked aboutwhen it comes to this abortion issue.
Do I think it's life, yes? Do I think you're killing something?

(14:43):
Yes? Do I want to takeaway your choice? We live in a
divided time. There's got to begiven takes. But you let's step away
from the moral argument, which ishard for a lot of people to do.
When it becomes a political argument andthe goal is to win elections,
And if you continue to lose elections, what happens you lose the power to

(15:05):
do anything. And when you losethe power to do anything, you find
out that the things that you oncehoped that you are going to have,
whether it's lower taxes, whether it'sless regulation, whether it's energy independence,
whether it's you know, whatever youwant to talk about, life choice,
all of that, it all goesaway. So you have to ask yourself

(15:26):
the question in the give and takeworld, is it worth it? So
what you're saying is you are prochoice. I am a person who believes
we all make choices, got theright. Do I think that it is
life and that you're killing a baby? I do do. I think that

(15:50):
is a choice for you to make. Unfortunately, for a lot of people
out there, they don't want tohear this. And I'm talking about from
the political side. Yeah, youleave that there, because on the political
side, you're finding out that evenconservatives quote unquote, Republicans quote whatever,
they are, Libertarians who lean right, independence who lean right, don't want

(16:12):
that choice taken away, but theydo want restrictions on when you can do
it. And this is where theRepublicans need to get a handle on it,
and they need to be in frontand saying, Look, it's not
about hating the woman, it's aboutchoosing life. Nobody ever says a woman

(16:33):
who chooses to have an abortion hateschildren. Do you need to phrase it
that way? You hate kids?You hate life? No, it's just
the fact that we live in agive and take time. And moralistically,
you look at this in a moralway, you're killing a baby. If
you look at this from a politicalway, you're restricting somebody. It's finding

(17:00):
that sweet spot, which is apolitical thing. And I think the problem
is with the Republicans. They don'tknow how to talk about this. They
don't find a lane that's right.Their messages are mixed, so they either
avoid it or put their foot intheir mouth. Three two, three,
five, three, eight, twentyfour to twenty three at Chad Benton Show's
your Twitter. A lot of stuffto get to today. Got some crazy

(17:22):
stuff USC that is the University SouthernCalifornia says no to the Valle Victoria for
security reasons. Talk about that.Chad Benson, Joe s Chad Benson Joe

(18:00):
and Thought Independent life. This isChad Benson. Chad, you said Joe
Biden lies earlier, but you didn'ttalk about it yet. Well I'm going
to so. Joe Biden says hisuncle was eating back when D Day occurred,

(18:27):
and on Sunday the next day,my mother's four brothers all went down
in the coracruiting station and joined themilitary, every one of them volunteer.
And my uncle they called him AmbroseBrosie. They called him my uncle Bosey.
It's a hell of an athlete,they tell me. When he was
a kid, and he became anAir Corps before the Air Force came home.

(18:52):
Hest of those single engine planes hasreconnaissance over war zones. They got
shot down and no Guinea, andthey never found the body because there used
to be. There are a lotof cannibals for real in that part.
You did it? I eat cannibalby the way, Chat, Well,

(19:18):
how did they lie? Uh?It's been disproven a thousand times, right,
So they've had to go out andshow him over and over again because
he lies about some of the justthe dumbest things in the world. Everybody
knows the story's fake. Everybody knowhe's full. He ditched in the ocean
and they never found him. Iwasn't shot down, didn't land in Papua
New Guinea. By the way,the Kowori is the tribe and Papa New

(19:42):
Guinea that still practices cannibalism. Iguess in this state. It's one of
those ones where nobody really goes nearhim. It's not like some of those
other islands where people go, youknow, the missionaries and they get killed.
You know, the YouTubers, let'sgo out and these people get eaten
or killed. No, it's notlike that, but just you know the
fact that he said it, andeverybody knows that that didn't happen, but

(20:06):
he did. By the way,anytime I could do Toto Colio, that's
the band. I Eat Cannibal wastheir hit. It was the only hit
they had. Oh my goodness methree two, three, five, three
eight, twenty four twenty three atyou d Benson shows your Twitter tweeted as
texta program I Eat Cannibal. What'sgoing on in college campus is insane.

(20:29):
We all know that Columbia University's presidenthad to go out there get grilled by
everybody talking about Yes, anti semitismdoes calling for the genocide of Jews,
violate Columbia's code of conduct. MisterGreenwald, yes it does. Ms.
Shipman, yes it does. DoctorSchaffee, yes it does. And Professor
Schuzer yes it does. Okay,so we know it does. Good.

(20:56):
Anti Semitism has no place on ourcampus, and I am personally admitted to
doing everything I can to confront itdirectly. Okay, good, everything you
can't get out there? Do peoplefeel that way? No, they don't
feel that way at all, notjust in Colombia, Harvard, everywhere else.
They just don't feel like this isbecoming a nightmare on campuses across the

(21:21):
country, in particular the you know, the big schools like the IVY leagues
and the big private schools. Andwe'll talk about what one private school is
doing. That's the exact opposite ofthis. Safety is paramount, and we
would do whatever is necessary to ensurethe safety of our campus. Because of
those efforts, the vast majority ofour demonstrations have been peaceful, the vast

(21:42):
majority mostly peaceful protest. Well,is that true? Are you really doing
everything you can? Probably not,because what are you going to be able
to do? Just out of curiosity? Because a lot of people who are
coming on campus don't go to theschool. They're doing stuff off campus,

(22:03):
but then they're bringing some of thatstuff on. It's a tough thing,
I get it, but you haveto be vocal in support. That's what
people are looking for. It's likeanything. They want to feel like you're
with them. And we saw whathappened the first time. They were all
dragged out in front of the worldto get grilled by you know, senate
folk, and what do they do. They caved. They're like, well,

(22:25):
we won't condemn this, won't condemnit. They want to feel the
Jewish students and community that they're safeand come on campus and they go about
their day without having a bunch ofpink haired lunatics yell in fought at them.
That's what they want like anybody else. So USC's went a different way.

(22:45):
Their valor, Victorian is actually aMuslim who is very pro Palestine.
He's not a fan of the Jews. And you know what they said,
you aren't going to be given thespeech. And she was all smiles when
she spoke with me, although shedid admit that she was said when the
school told her she would no longerbe allowed to give a speech at commencement.
She says, though since then,in the hours and days since she

(23:06):
was told that and the announcement cameout, there has been an overwhelming wave
of support from students here on campusand even folks across the country. Wasn't
it Tabassim was announced as valedictorian justtwo weeks ago, which was supposed to
be the final crowning achievement of herillustrious four years at USC. That was
a primary emotion is pride and humilityand humbleness, and then, you know,

(23:27):
very quickly it turned into shock andsurprise. Shock that days later USC
suddenly told her she was no longerallowed to give a commencement speech, citing
non specific safety concerns. Tabasim,whose Muslim isn't accused of doing anything or
saying anything to incite violence. Instead, it was links and likes to pro
Palestinian posts on social media that ledto some saying she was propagating hateful rhetoric

(23:51):
against the Jewish community. And that'san interesting thing right there, because liking
stuff, linking stuff, is thatthe same? Well, in some cases
it damn will. Maybe you maylike something somebody posted that has nothing to
do with Palestine or anything that iscontroversial. But that person maybe should you

(24:17):
be in trouble for that. Iwas reading an article yesterday about a soccer
player who's young, up and comingsuperstar and the team is having to have
conversations with him because he's liking thingsthat are just liking things, maybe some
comments that are making them have togo out and handle things that people are

(24:42):
raising to the team sponsors and thingsof that nature. So but she is
not, you know, I mean, let me tell you some about this.
I've gone and seen some of thestuff she's like. I've gone and
seen some of the stuff that shepoints, you know, links to.
By the way, she also hasthe destruction of Israel on her Twitter page,

(25:03):
which is also something that I thinkraises some you know, some red
flags there. And I'm a freespeech absolutist, but the minute you start
talking about killing, destroying, etcetera, et cetera, well then you
get to a point where okay,you've passed. I think that this is
genocide and Palestine. You could saythat all day. I think there are

(25:26):
certain things going on in Palestine rightnow the Israel needs to deal with in
a much better way. Whether theylike it or not, wish hat down
with Tabasim on campus today and Iasked her if she regrets any part of
her very vocal activism. Absolutely not. I stand by exactly what I stand
by, and I don't believe it'sironic for me to minor and something called
resistance to genocide and then speak outon it and then be revoked. Resistance

(25:49):
to Genocide. Student activist group Trojansfor Israel have been equally unspoken about their
concern that Tabasim was selected to speaka commencement, considering her post to be
at a minimum device because explicitly inher bio she states that she calls for
the abolishment of the state of Israel, which is complete antisemitic, and that
makes us Jewish students at USC feelunsafe, unheard, and targeted. That's

(26:15):
fair if you're calling for the abolishmentof a nation like go put on your
Twitter bio today, the abolishment ofwhatever, like you know, pick a
country that's going to raise some redflags. And what makes me laugh about
this is, you know, theytalk about free speech. Remember these are
college campuses where if a conservative showsup, they lose their blanking mind.

(26:40):
And how big of a deal.Is this the valed victorian for USC They
get sixty five thousand people at theirgraduation. It is a big deal.
Do I think she should have beengiven the opportunity to speak. I'm a
free speech absolutist. I would havesaid, give her the oppera tunity,

(27:00):
let her speak, tell her notto make it political, which she's going
to because you heard her minor ingenocide studies or whatever it is, prevention
of genocide. I don't These arethe people that protest everywhere. We've got
some good protest stuff coming up laterthat involves furries and middle school three two,

(28:30):
Wolf rented the twenty nineteen movie Yesterday, you genuinely don't know I heard the
Who's ah, they were horrified tofind out that actress Enna de Armis wasn't
in it. They said they onlyrented it because she's in the movies trailer
and they wanted to see her,but her role had been cut, so
they sued Universal for false advertising,and after a couple of years and hundreds
of thousands of dollars in legal fees, the case has been settled. Variety

(28:52):
points out that Rosa and Wolf's argumentwas gaining traction with the judge, but
a ruling against them put them onthe hook for part of Universal's legal fees
almost five hundred grand. Terms ofthe settlement weren't disclosed. Wow, they
paid three ninety nine for that movie. If I sued every movie I went
to because the trailer didn't match whatthe movie was, how many of you

(29:15):
have gone and seen a movie andyou're like, none of that's in the
trailer. Then the trailer that wesaw, none of that's in the movie.
I didn't even know who, Like, hey, by the way,
aded to armis, come on,how how cool is it that you're an
actress? Pretty od to that peoplewere so excited to see in a movie

(29:40):
that when you weren't in the movieand you didn't make the final cut,
they sued, Oh my goodness,me, I wonder how much it ended
up costing them. Originally they thejudge ruled in their favor, finding that
the movie trailers should not be exemptfrom false advertising laws. Universal attorney said
argue the trailers are are stistic,expressive work that should be considered protected by

(30:03):
free speech. Complications arose, however, when Universal fought to have the plaintiffs
pay for a portion of the studio'slegal fees, which amounted to hundreds of
thousands of dollars. What if youwould have just gave them three ninety nine
could had this all gone away andmaybe go, hey, guys, I'm
sorry about this. This is ridiculous. We put the trailer together. And

(30:25):
if you don't know how trailers work, I have a couple bodies work at
big trailer houses and uh, andI've done voices for trailers. The way
it works is they'll get everything.So the director is and the editor maybe
cutting up a different film, butyou're getting everything, and you're taking it

(30:49):
and you're splicing it, and you'reputting it all together and you don't know
what the final film is going tolook like. So now, regularly in
the rate scheduled trailer, usually thestar as big as annad Arnest would probably
have been in the movie. Idon't know why she wasn't so, but

(31:11):
very interesting. Was it worth it, guys? Was it worth it?
Speaking of worth it, was itworth it, you can no longer play
in the NBA and probably anywhere.Ever, again, the investigation revealing Porter
left the game after just three minuteslast month, claiming he was ill to
benefit people who had gambled that he'dhave only limited playing time that night.
The NBA says one gambler associated withPorter had placed an eighty thousand dollars bet

(31:34):
on him underperforming and stood to makemore than a million dollars. The commissioner
saying while legal sports betting creates transparencythat helps identify suspicious or abnormal activity,
this matter also raises important issues aboutthe sufficiency of the regulatory framework currently in
place. Well, they caught it. So here's a guy who doesn't play
that much. By the way,Johntay Porter's salary is about four hundred and

(31:56):
ten thousand. He was on atwo way deal, so that means he
gets X amount of money for playingin the NBA, and if he went
down to the G League, wherehe spent most of his time, he
got certain money. And I don'tknow, I mean, I just it's
here's a guy who's playing two minutesthree minutes a game and frustrating, right,

(32:22):
you know, this is the frustratingfor a lot of athletes out there
who I talked to. So whenI used to work in town, as
I'd like to call it, becauseI live out here in the valley of
the dirt people and out in betweenTucson and Phoenix, we at our sports
station there, we'd see athletes allday. They're frustrated with the way that
the betting world has gone, especiallywhen it comes to prop bets on all

(32:45):
of their stuff. And this goesfrom baseball to hockey, to basketball,
to football in particular, Football isfrustrated already with fantasy football, the football
players. But they caught it becausehere there's a guy who had massive bets
on him and he plays like threeminutes a game. He's accused of providing

(33:06):
betters with information about his own health, how he was feeling, and whether
or not he would be able toparticipate. And so these other betters had
this information, this inside information,and placed as much as eighty thousand dollars
on some bets that would feature Porterstatistics. For something like this to happen
is a big deal. Yeah,it is a big deal because this is

(33:28):
always the big worry about athletes,because here's here's something you got to think
about when when you talk about athletes, young men fully charged with testosterone,
a lot of time on their hands, millions of dollars and take away the
sport that they play. Because ina lot of these these in the NBA

(33:49):
and across the board, you canbet on sports and go to the casino.
You can't bet on your sport.Although I continue to say, I
think it would be more interesting ifyou were forced to bet on your team
winning every night. This sports bettinghas taken the joy out of playing the
game for the athletes. You seethe NCAA trying to ban prop bets in

(34:10):
that as well. These are realimpactful things where you are dealing with social
media fans yelling at them miss theshot. Well, and probably that's being
like these more elaborate things of likeI know how many free throws this person's
gonna make, so all of asudden, this random free throw is a
huge deal in the arena, andyou're cheering for them to miss, not
because you want your team to win, but you're cheering them to miss because

(34:31):
you want to win the bet.Yeah, that's it. Like even the
other night, like they brought intoquestion, remember the was it. Monday,
we played that the guy from wasit the Rockets or somebody? If
you if the opposing team misses twofree throws in a row at the Clippers
game, everybody gets free chicken andhe's like, I'm gonna miss. I'm

(34:52):
gonna miss because they were up bya bunch and everybody was cheering him on.
And then the question is, well, you know that's all it takes
for something like that, And howmany times have you heard even watching a
sporting event where ah, dude,it sucked they kicked that extra point.
So tell you lots of issues here. To me, the prop bets should

(35:14):
go away when it comes to collegebasketball because that's where I think they're the
most corrupt opportunities to get to playersto do stuff. The NBA. They
don't need the money, but itdoesn't mean he can't be gotten to three
two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three
at Chadventon show is your Twitter tweetdot is text to program. A lot
of stuff still to get to nexthour, some Trump stuff obviously. Later

(35:37):
on in the show, a youngsterby the name of Misha, say,
youngster, he's younger than me,half my age. He is a Ukrainian
been on the front lines, alsohas a think tank here in the United
States. Loves America, loves freedom. He's gonna give us a breakdown of
what it's like for real, whatAmericans are missing in this situation, especially

(35:59):
in the concern srivative side of stuff. Who think it's about Nazis and thinks
it's about this, and thinks it'sabout that. He's going to give us
a breakdown of a lot of what'sgoing on over there and a real look.
I think you guys are going toenjoy that. We're going to talk
to him in the third hour.It's a Chad Benson Show. This is
the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

(36:47):
Anti ha ISRALD. Protesters blocking theBrooklyn Bridge, burned to the American
flag, enchanted depth to America.Do you condemn this type of rhetoric?
We've got to get her onto hernext event. Are you okay with people
burning the American flag? Do youlike too? Are you okay with people
chanting death to America? Sorry,we've got a head in congressman Porter,

(37:13):
Are you okay with people chanting deathto America? Is it Okay, do
you not have a problem with it? Nothing? No, not a thing,
okay, Katie Porter, congress personwalking trying to ask you a question.
People chanting death to America, peoplesaying, you know, America should

(37:35):
be eliminated? Were the worst thingin the history of mankind? Are you
okay with that? And you couldn'tsay no, I'm not okay with that.
Hell no, I'm not okay withthat. Are you out of your
blanking mind? And apparently reading alot lately as they do every day,
that the DNC is going to haveone hell of a convention with protesters,

(38:00):
I mean, a nightmare pro Palestiniandeath to America folks are gonna be there.
It is spectacular. Look what youcreated people, We got some you
know. The protester thing is justwe're talking a little bit more about that
later because we've got a good furryprotest and also Tom Cotton. But how

(38:23):
hard is it for a congress personto say no, She walked with a
smug look the entire time, Andall you have to say is, look,
people have right to free speech.But I love this country. It
is the greatest thing ever. Andeverybody you know who's left and and thinks

(38:45):
that this is the worst country inthe history of the world. Has never
lived anywhere else, never understood anythingelse, and understand that A vast majority
of the reasons why they like alot of those other countries is because what
America provides for them in safety,comfort, consumer stuff, all of those
things. But yes, people havea right to free speech. But no,

(39:08):
no, I condemn death to America. She couldn't. She's walked with
a smug look on her face.It's gonna go to the floor eventually.
What you say, see that transitionthere, the aid bills, they're gonna
go in three different packets, threedifferent packets. Yeah, of Israel,

(39:29):
you're gonna have Ukraine, Taiwan,all going in different And I think somewhere
in there there's gonna, of course, as you all know, there's Omnibus
build and there's gonna be a lotof stuff in there and crap. But
Johnson's gonna do it. He's gonnabe gone. They're gonna get rid of
him. Actually, Marjorie Taylor Greenhas already called for his head. I
can go ahead and rule that out. She's ruling out getting rid of him,

(39:50):
at least for now. Apparently insideof these aid packages, and one
of them is going to be somethingthat is going to make it harder to
oust the speaker, which apparently theRepublicans love doing. But I think somebody
said, hey, enough of thiscrap. So the aid package going to
the floor. House speaker Mike Johnson. To put it bluntly, I would
rather send bullets to Ukraine than Americanboys. My son is going to begin

(40:15):
in the Navel Academy this fall.This is a live fire exercise for me.
Is it is so many American families? Yeah? I agree? Who's
with them there? Would you rathersend bodies, souls, people that are
our soldiers, our young men andwomen, our future to die over there?

(40:36):
No? No, I don't thinkwe would. Now what's in the
bill? Well, again you haveto pass and find out kind of thing,
but a lot of what is inthere because and this is the thing
that frustrates me with modern politics ispeople will pick one or two things and
they'll highlight it. You never knowreally what it is until you get a
chance to read it. In manyof these cases, these things aren't three
pages long, they're fourteen thousand pages. They bring him in a wheelbarrow.

(41:00):
But from what I understand, andwhat I've gotten through so far of you
know, the highlighted notes is alot of this money is never even our
shores, which it is mostly truewhen it comes to any of the stuff.
Anyways, we say we're given Xamount of billions of dollars to Ukraine
or whatever, all that means iswe've got a credit card at a bunch

(41:21):
of companies here in America that wecan swipe and they produce weapons. It
doesn't really go to them the waythat people think. But we've also depleted
our stock. Eighty percent of themoney that would be allocated in this legislation
is for replenishment of our own weaponsand stocks. I mean, this is
something that makes sense. We're whatwe're doing is funding America's industrial defense base,

(41:45):
which is I think a good thing, don't you? I mean,
are you you guys kind of withme on this? I mean, that's
like a we need to replenish ourstuff and no doubt about that. And
you can have the debate. We'regonna talk next hour to a guy,
young man, he's twenty seven yearsold. It's been on the front lines

(42:06):
in Ukraine. He is Ukrainian,also lives a portion of time in the
United States. Loves America, everythingthat America is about. But Misha's gonna
talk about the stuff that we don'tquite understand. I'm gonna ask him questions
about it. What it's America notget right? Like the Nazi thing.
It got brought up to me twiceyesterday, and I just I you know,

(42:29):
I sit there and I'm like,Okay, I'm this this ridiculousness of
of the Putin propaganda and the factthat so many people buy into it.
But I'm also not a fool inthinking, hey, look, there's got
to be an off ramp here.There has to be an off ramp so
we can get past this. Butit's it's tough to have a discussion with

(42:57):
people who are hell bent on Andyou know, I was talking somebody the
other day about this because I said, look, I'm gonna have this guy
on and he's like, oh god, yeah, it's probably a Nazi,
and I'm like, dude, whatare you talking about. It's not a
Nazi. They're all Nazis. They'renot all Nazis. And then well,
he hates Christians and he shut downthe churches over there. He didn't the

(43:19):
the the Orthodox Church that is alignedwith the Russian Orthodox Church was spying for
Russia, so like, let's getit out there and have everything out there.
Well, he didn't help Trump,and so you know, it's like
it's it's always something. How aboutwe live in the world of reality and

(43:44):
go over it. Do I thinkwe need an off ramp? I absolutely
do. Do. I think wedon't need to be wasting billions of dollars
and the lives of Ukrainians. Yeah, and the Russian lives for that matter.
But you And the funny thing iswhen you talk to a lot of
the people out there who are like, we can't support Ukraine, they all

(44:05):
say the same thing, though,Oh but Putin's a bastard, He's horrible.
I'm like, so you're just goingto allow him to just take parts
of land because he's already signaling inseveral other former Eastern Bloc countries, a
couple of them which are aligned withNATO, that the Russian speaking people are
being treated poorly and he must cometo the defense. What happens at that

(44:28):
point, Oh yeah, So I'minteresting to see when this thing gets to
a vote. The Matt Gates andthe mtgs of the World, Margerie Taylor
Green, how many of them reallyare going to stand up and say,
no, we're not going to giveUkraine money. This is not a game,
it's not a joke. We can'tplay politics of this. We have

(44:51):
to do the right thing. AndI'm going to allow an opportunity for every
single member of the House to votetheir conscience and their will on this.
And I think that's the way thisinstitution is supposed to work. And I'm
willing to take personal risk for thatbecause we have to do the right thing
in historial judges. I agree hundredpercent, one hundred percent. We'll see
what it looks like. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ChadBenson Show, is your Twitter tweet at

(45:13):
us text the program man. There'sso much stuff to talk about there is
We've got an abortion to talk about. I know, very not sexy,
but the reality is is it's goingto be an issue. Boeing whistleblowers,
talk about that. More on Trumpand his trials and tribulations and Uri Berlinner

(45:35):
yesterday after we got off the air. He was the guy who wrote the
piece about NPR because he'd worked therefor so long guess what. He was
suspended for five days and then hetold him to pack it. He quit
talk a bit about that as well. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twentythree at Chad Benson Show. It's your
Twitter, your ex, your Insta, whatever. All of those things are

we wouldn't have gotten out of him. I wasn't for rough Greens. One
of the things we noticed was hisfur, his skin. He had some
allergies. They've actually disappeared. Topof that, the energy level with rough

(46:21):
Greens, it was up and itwas just it was amazing to see,
and of course for us, themost important thing at that point in time
was his joint pain, which wasvirtually eliminated. It was incredible. Try

are called eight eight eight ninety mydog. That's eight eight eight ninety my
dog. For Roughgreens. Boeing whistleblowerswe discussed. You're listening to the Chad

(47:08):
Benson Show. I was sidelined,I was told to shut up. I
received physical threads. My boss saidI would have killed someone who said what
you said in a meeting. Thatis insane. That is one of the
whistleblowers from Boeing. Sam Salapor andEd Pearson yesterday talking both whistleblowers about Boeing,

(47:32):
what's going on at Boeing and what'snot going on at Boeing, And
he said, hey, they threatenedme, told to shut up. They
did horrible things. Because I wasconcerned about what was going on. I
raised the alarm and people didn't care. And of course you had the other

(47:55):
whistleblower who couldn't make it because hekilled himself. Allegedly. That's a great
conspiracy. Did he I don't know. Is it possible that they had him
wiped out? Could you imagine thatjust for a second, let's just play

(48:15):
the conspiracy game. They found outthat he actually was killed by Boeing's hit
man. What would that be like? Oh my goodness me more from the
hearings, the world is shocked tolearn about Boeing's current production quality issues.
I'm not surprised because nothing changed afterthe two crashes. There was no accountability,

(48:36):
Not a single person from Boeing wentto jail. Hundreds of people died,
and there's been no justice. Nojustice. Now they ruled that the
seven thirty seven Max in particular,So you got the seven seven seven and
the seven thirty seven in the Maxproduction. You had two crashes, both
in countries with not great safety thatmaybe they didn't have the training they needed,

(49:01):
which some of that I'm sure ison Boeing. Some of that's on
the airline companies themselves. But theseare billion dollar corporations and you know what
else, they are jobs? Socontinue, sir. This is Ed Pearson,
the NTSB chair, reiterated Congress lastweek that Boeing has said there are
no records documenting the removal of theAlaska Airline store. I'm not going to

(49:23):
sugarcoat this. This is a criminalcover up. Records do, in fact
exist. I know this because I'vepersonally passed them to the FBI. And
that's interesting because the evidence side ofthings was supposed to be there yesterday and
everybody's like, well, where's yourevidence because they said they were going to
deliver it. Well they did,he said, and the lawyer said that

(49:44):
they would be giving us evidence nextweek, and we did not get that.
But as lawyers do, tell ABCNews that the evidence is there,
it is documented, and it hasbeen turned over to the committee. We've
reached out to the committee to seeif they will be releasing that and they
have not made a decision. Sothe media didn't get the evidence, but
the committee did and that's a bigdeal. That is a big deal that

(50:07):
they've got something, whether or notwe get to find out what it is.
I can't go behind closed doors.There are donors involved, there are
jobs involved. Who are voters.Will you get it? Won't you get
it? Plus, if you're aBoeing stockholder, and maybe you are in

(50:29):
Congress, you got to figure outwhat you're going to do with your stock.
I literally saw people jumping on thepieces of the airplane to get them
to aligned. I call it theTarzan effect, among other improper methods.
You have to be honest with you. I don't really want to know that
you're jumping up and down trying toget something to fit. I mean,

(50:51):
I want the fit to be snugbecause of how high the plane is,
and that we go over this allthe time. When it comes to airplanes.
There is no pull over to theside of the road scenario. The
side of the road comes at fourhundred and fifty miles an hour and it's
over at that point. I haveanalyzed Boeing's own data to conclude that the
company's taken manufacturing shortcuts on the seveneighty seven program that may significantly reduce the

(51:19):
airplane's safety. Get it not good, Sam Salaford. There a whistleblower for
employee been threatened. You heard atthe beginning they threatened him with physical harm
and his boss said for reporting thiskind of stuff that he should be killed.
I want to make clear that Ihave raised these issues over three years.

(51:40):
I was ignored. I was toldnot to create, not to create
delays. I was told frankly toshut up. That's not good. It's
not good. Now on Boeing's defenseand said, look, we're looking for,
you know, to fix this,and we want everybody to come forward.
You also have to keep in mindthat Boeing is begging its employees to
come forward with any information that maysignal that there's a problem with one of

(52:04):
their airplanes or a part of themanufacturing process, and they are getting a
surge of reports. Normally, inan average year they get about four hundred
a year. They are telling usthat they are getting more than four hundred
a month. That's a lot.There are some serious issues in this situation
here that need to be addressed.First of all, we want to know
that it's safe to fly. That'sa big deal. People want to know

(52:29):
that it's safe to fly. Theywant to know that getting on the airplane
you are going to be okay.That's what they want to know. The
aircraft as a whole may be safeinsofar as people getting on planes shouldn't panic,
but they need to be made fullysafe. It's tough. You're hearing

(52:55):
more and more that people are callingand asking what plane am I going to
be on? They're like you're ona Boeing. They're like, is there
something else I can be on?Do you have a cessna? Maybe a
prop engine? How about one ofthose things that lands in the water.
Do you have a helicopter? Don'tget on a helicopter, So Boeing,
get your Boeing stock ready, getready for the dip, and then buy

(53:16):
the dip. Three two three,five three eight, twenty four twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, It's yourTwitter tweet at US. Got a great
furry story coming up and protest?Did Tom Cotton say it's okay to beat
up protesters? Talk a bit aboutthat and again. Next hour, Misha
joins the program. Who is he? He is a Ukrainian that has worked

(53:37):
here in the United States, lovesAmerica, also loves his home country and
has been home, has been onthe front lines. He's gonna tell us
what it's like, what America ismissing out on as far as the story,
It's going to be an interesting conversationfor sure. He'll join some program
next hour three two three, fivethree eight twenty four twenty three at Ched
Benson Show, is Your Twitter Tweetat US? Tax the program. I

(54:00):
love hearing from every single one ofyou, The Chad Benson Show, The
Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,Independent Life. This is Chad Benson Trump

(54:37):
on trial Doom Doom. I'm gonnahave stuff with real special effects tomorrow.
Although I will say those were prettyspecial. You want to know that what
to expect because they're telling jurors thathave already been selected, Hey, Monday,
be prepared for Monday. Okay,so bere ready for that. This

(55:00):
is one of these rare cases wherejust about everything that's been litigated in the
court of public opinion, but therewill be legal arguments. What is the
legal theory exactly of the da herethat got it to the level of a
felony. That's going to be onething I'm very interested in. And from
the defense perspective, are they goingto come out and say it's not true

(55:22):
that he had sex with Stormy Daniels. I don't think they're going to actually
say that, But how detailed thedefense gets is also going to be something
that I'll be looking for. Hmmm, very interesting. Well, of course
you got to say you had sex. And by the way, there were
two payments. People forget because thesalaciousness is the adult actress Stormy Daniels.

(55:45):
The other part was Katherine McDougall,who is smoking on by the way,
and he paid her actually more thanhe paid Stormy. So the hush money
side of things is interesting, butthat's not what this is. Not about
out having sex with other people.Although if I'm correct, and I want
to make sure that I'm correct,and we're gonna double check that in a

(56:07):
second where our cracked team is onit, I think, actually, and
I'm surprised they didn't go after himon this, I think having an extra
marital affair in New York is illegal. Oh my god, I don't even
think they knew that. She broughta check and see if it is illegal,
let me get that up here.We'll get some music while you guys
wait. All right, Okay,let's see here. Twenty five so hell

(56:32):
oh yeah, okay, okay,okay, okay, we've got it.
We've got it, We've got it, We've got it. Adultery has been
illegal in New York since nineteen ohseven, has defined his sexual intercourse between
two people when one of them ismarried. The penalty for adultery is a
Class B misdemeanor, which I'm sureif Alvin Bragg tried hard enough, he
can make it a felony, whichone can carry up to three months in

(56:52):
jail or five hundred dollars fine.However, the law is rarely enforced and
most New Yorkers are unaware of it. Since nineteen seventy two, only thirteen
people in charged with adultery and onlyfive have been convicted. So there's something
they left on the table. Trump, though, has another thing going on.
It's called an election. Everysingle dayhe's sitting inside of that courthouse is
a day that he's not making hiscase to the American people. He can

(57:15):
come out and say, sure thatthis is all a witch hunt, and
that might rev up his base,but is that really appealing to the independent
voters, the Republicans who are notsold on the former president that he needs
to win over in order to clinchthe White House. By the way,
only one in three Americans think thathe acted illegally in hush money. And
let's go over this again to setthis thing correct. It is not hush

(57:39):
money. It is campaign finance violations. Hush moneyes NDAs. None of those
things are illegal, None of themare. It is campaign finance violations.
He put that the hush money paymentswere legal expenses. That's what this is

(58:00):
about. It's not about having sexwith a has been adult film actress or
the beautiful Cather mcdougle. It's notabout any of those things. It's about
campaign finance. And if we wereto put people in jail for campaign finance
violations, go look at Obama petyhuge, huge, huge, huge,

(58:21):
five I think the biggest ever forcampaign finance. Go look at Hillary who
put legal expenses I think for theSteele dossier. So this is when it
comes to this case in particular,nobody's moved by it. And for a
lot of people who are independents whoare leaning towards Trump, they're not scared

(58:43):
away by it because the reality isthey look at this thing right here,
and they say to themselves, thisfeels like a wit jump, just throwing
it out there. Three two,three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenson shows your Twitter, tweet at US
text the program. Larry Nasser,this interesting, Remember him, scumbag,
horrible human being molested all of thoseyoung women for the United States Olympic teams

(59:07):
as well as many other colleges.To be clear, I blame Larry Nasser,
and I also blame an entire systemthat enabled and perpetrated his abuse.
Right there was it, Mikayla Maroneywho was one of the US gymnast superstars

(59:27):
who he molested some own biles.I began crying at the memory over the
phone, and there was just deadsilence. I was so shocked at the
agent's silence in disregard for my trauma. Yeah, you should be because of
the way they treated you. Well. The FBI and Department of Justice has
to pay one hundred million dollars tothree hundred sexual abuse survivors of Larry Nasser.

(59:49):
Why is that because they didn't actwhen they should have. It's not
your job to decide whether it shouldbe investigated or not. It's your job
to make sure it does get investigated. And they did do that. They
were told on numerous occasions, andstuff was reported to them, and yet
they did nothing. This particular caseis so egregious because if the FBI would

(01:00:13):
have acted in a timely manner whenthey got this information, it would have
stop Larry Nasser, maybe over ayear before he actually got caught with a
scumbag see dead. I can't Remember, if he's dead, he should be.
I don't know if he's dead ornot, but he should be.
Uh. He is in prison fora billion years, which is good.

(01:00:37):
But the things he did to theseyoung girls is horrific. The fact that
he got away with it was horrific. And and I'll say this, there
were the amount of women and younggirls that he molested, you can't tell
me. You know, we talka lot about the church, right and

(01:00:57):
the protection of the church and it, which is it's like bureaucracy, right,
Like the protection of bureaucracy becomes whatit's all about, no matter what
it is. So if it's abig government program that started out being something
great for the homeless, it becomesabout the program, not the homeless.
This was Cya and yourself for theUnited States, Gymnastics, Michigan State,

(01:01:22):
all these things. It's the samething with you know, the FBI,
they knew they dropped the ball.They were more than a few whispers.
People had talked about it. Ithad been presented on several occasions. And
that's why you had to be onehundred million dollars because you failed, and
you're not going to catch everything,and everything's not going to be cut and
dry and simple. Five hundred victims, and you knew that there were more

(01:01:45):
than a few whispers, and youdidn't put it togetherh goodness me three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three atch had
Benson shows your Twitter tweeted as textto program. I got more emails,
text messages and stuff yesterday about theKaitlin Klok thing. She is getting paid
like seventy six grand for a firstyear. That's she gets a decent amount

(01:02:05):
of revenue off the jersey sales Iheard yesterday is up to fifty percent and
they've already sold out of all ofher jerseys for the Indiana Fever or whatever
or whatever they're called. But it'svery interesting because a lot of people are
are, you know, pissed ather because they think that she's doing something

(01:02:25):
that disparages men, which is yourstupid thinking that they're mad at men because
the women aren't getting paid equally.By the way, the women have already
said, it's we're building something.There is no way we should be paid
equally, so people are missing outon. But Michelle de Foy brought something

(01:02:47):
up that I think people need tounderstand, is this is a it's a
new league. It takes a whileto get your feet underneath you to build
an audience, and Major League SoccerI talked about that yesterday. What they
should do is have designated players,players who are big, who are superstars,
who are going to be treated different, and who should make more money.

(01:03:08):
They get to make more money thanwhat the salary cap would be through
the help of sponsors helping pay someof their salaries, like they did with
David Beckham. I know MESSI Ithink gets a big cut of Apple TV's
pay per view on all of theleague. You could do things like that

(01:03:28):
for certain players, which will causejealousy and anger and stuff. But remember
this isn't so much about hers,it about the league itself. Do you
see the NFL trying to permeate allkinds of new markets around the world.
Major League Baseball has done that successfully. China is a huge market for the
NBA, massive market for the NBA, and that's where they get so much

(01:03:49):
to the influx of cash. TheWNB doesn't have that yet. Dan only
maybe half the teams in the WNBAare actually owned by their NBA counterparts.
The rest are owned independently. Ittakes a while to build it up,
and it's never going to be asbig as the Men, partly because it's
just globally not going to be asbig as the Men. But to watch
people fight over ridiculousness online over this, trust me, Caitlin's going to be

(01:04:12):
fine. She's gonna be fine,But it's it's weird. Some stuff touches
a nerve with people, and someother stuff doesn't. Three two, three,

states no deep doo doo. Yeahthe chat fans and show that they're still
wear them every day doesn't make themget in trouble. Yeah. All the
principals just be kind, nicey nice. What's the pot address? It look
like a f atention so people couldcome at them and just look at them

(01:06:05):
and together they're so cool. Okay, are you guys gonna be in trouble
for walking out of school today?This is wrong? Are out here?
What is that as a protest inUtah? Why? Because these kids are

(01:06:26):
upset? A bunch of kids dressup like furries. If you don't know
what a furry is. If yourspirit animal, you dress up like a
wolf for a fox or whatever,it's fringe. It's weird in some world.
That can be sexual in a lotof places. Just it's so ridiculous.

(01:06:48):
If I showed up every day dressedas a mascot, I'm assuming there's
gonna be a conversation about me.Well, they're not dressed like a mascot.
You know. The school has said, look, the letter we sent
out was misinterpreted. We're not takingthe sides of one group or another.
But some of the kids just saying, look, they're barking at us,

(01:07:09):
and they're trying to scratch us,and they think they're cats and dogs,
and it's it's a distraction. Wejust want to learn. You get in
trouble, they attack on how elsedo they attack you? Guys? Scratch
just so we can't talk or sayanything to the birds or even look at

(01:07:32):
them. But they can come lookat us and they can say stuff to
us and touch us and get introuble. Interesting, that sounds like a
double standard to me. Yes,okay, so that is a talk show
host in Utah who is apparently youknow. It's funny because when you go
when you look up, like like, I've gone to like eight different places

(01:07:56):
when it comes to this story tryingto get the entire amount of information you
need to understand. First of all, it's in sate. You dressed like
a furry. I'm sorry, youcan't do it. You're not wearing a
tail. This is a place tolearn. The school's like, we need
to be nice to everybody. Yes, we do that. Being said,
you need to not be a distraction. Okay, all right, you know

(01:08:19):
stop me owting at people. Youknow, back in the olden days we'll
call it the nineteen nineties, ifyou be out at people and not as
a joke, but because you thoughtmaybe that you were a cat, somebody
would be like, I think heneeds help. Nowadays we're like, well,
it's just part of its culture,it's its truth. So it's just

(01:08:43):
and it's funny. Because when themedia depends on where you look, they
pick up a story this guy isanti this and anti that, and he's
it's just it's crazy. Just goto school and learn kids. That's it
the protest. Speaking of protest theother day, watching states handle the anti

(01:09:03):
Israel pro Palestine Debt to America protests, that's what I call it. Because
if you're out there near the GoldenGate Bridge and now it was five hours
those people were stuck out there onthe Golden Gate Bridge, think about that
for a second. Five hours.New York and a lot of other places
like, get you ass up,we're moving. You're not staying here.
California's like we can't do anything,and people are sick and tired of it.

(01:09:24):
Tom Cotton was actually talking about protestersacross the country because it's becoming ridiculous.
And look, I am all finewith protesting. I just continue to
tell you this, the more thatyou make people's lives miserable, the more
they're going to hate what it isthat you're protesting. I agree with you
that you have to get to orthese criminals early. If something like this

(01:09:45):
happened in Arkansas on a bridge there, let's just say I think there'd be
a lot of very wet criminals thathave been tossed overboard, not by law
enforcement, but by the people who'sroad their blocking. They glued their hands
to car or the pavement. Well, probably pretty painful to have their ripped
off, but I think that's theway we'd handle in Arkansas. And I
have encourage most people anywhere that getstuck behind criminals like this s who are

(01:10:06):
trying to block traffic to take mattersin their own hands. Oh my god,
he's for vigilante justice. Tom Cottonwants people dead. There's only usually
a few of them, and there'sa lot of people being inconvenience. It's
time to put an end to thisnonsense. I sympathized with law enforcement having
to deal with this, but Ithink it's time for private citizens, who
are the ones being inconvenienced here whenthey're confronted with these protesters, just to

(01:10:29):
solve matters on their own before thepolice even show up. He just gave
me the okay you're in court,like Tom Coddon said. It was okay,
and that guy's a senator. That'swhat's going to start to happen,
though, I'm telling you guys,now you've met somebody who's had a really
bad day. I want to paintthe picture for you. Gone to work,

(01:10:51):
your boss has just kicked in thegrundle one hundred times. Right,
you're late for your kids soccer practice. You you you've had a you know
you're you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's just that day everybody's had that.
You stub your toe on the wayout, you spilled your coffee on
your dress, or your or yourtie. You've just it. It isn't

(01:11:15):
going your way, and you justwant to get home. You want to
sit down, You want to talkto your kids, You want to eat
a little food, have a beer, watch a little TV, go to
bed. And you're stuck in traffic. Why not because of an accident?
Because some ass had up there thinksthat climate change is going to destroy the
world and it's all over, orbetter yet, Palestine, evil zionist.

(01:11:42):
Somebody's gonna lose their mind. Somebody, it's gonna click, right like that
Michael Douglas movie where you just hadenough because they wouldn't give him his breakfast
at McDonald's at ten thirty one,and boom, it's gonna happen. I
am surprised nobody got thrown over.Oh three, two three five, twenty

(01:12:04):
four, twenty three At Chad BensonShow, it's your Twitter, your Instagram,
A lot of stuff still to getto. Next hour, a young
man by the name of a Mishais going to join the program and he
has a lot to say. Hehas been in the wars in Ukraine,
in Russia. He has been onthe front lines retrieving bodies and wounded soldiers.

(01:12:28):
He's going to break down what it'sreally like over there day to day
in places like Kiev compared to otherplaces. How their life is what America
is missing when it comes to alot of the propaganda that the Russian spew.
So we talk to him next hour. Make sure you join us for
that. It is the Chad BensonShow. This is the Chad Benson Show,

(01:13:15):
Independent Thoughts, Independent life, Thisis Chad Benson. While Trump has
his trials and tribulations, there isgoing to be an election this year,
and something that is going to bean issue is abortion. And yesterday the
Arizona Legislature decided, Hey, thislaw from the twelve hundreds or whatever it

(01:13:40):
was, it's one hundred and sixtyfour years old. We're going to keep
it. Wait what the law prohibitsabortion in every instance except one to save
the life of a mother. Ifno repeal is passed, the ban could
take effect as soon as June.Effectively, our ability to provide abortion care
goes away. So if this lawstands, you can no longer provide abortions

(01:14:00):
here. That is correct, PeterClinic and Phoenix doctor DeShawn Taylor is telling
patients they might not be able toget the care they need. Yeah,
one hundred and sixty four year oldlaw. I thought the Republicans are going
to repeal it. I think it'sa smart thing to do. They're not
going to do. Why. Well, behind it is a fifteen week ban

(01:14:21):
which they signed in the law preDobb's decision. This is going to end
up being on the ballot and what'sthat mean. Well, that's a struggle
for Republicans. Arizona one of fourteenstates where abortion could be on the ballot
this fall. Abortion rights has wonwherever it's gone before voters, including in
conservative states like Kansas, Kentucky,and Ohio. Republican lawmakers told me they're

(01:14:45):
not worried. Voters are smart theywould rather vote for somebody that they respect
and disagree with than somebody who doesn'tbelieve in anything. Donald Trump has boasted
of nominating three of the five justiceswho overturned Roe. We broke Roe v.
Wade says Arizona went too far again. If you're losing in the Bible
belt on this, and I wantto explain to everybody this again. I

(01:15:08):
want to go over this. There'sa moral side, there's a legal side,
and then there's a political side.The moral side, you believe it's
life. I believe it's life.The legal side, it's legal in some
states, not legal in others.That's the debate that's going on here.
Then there's the political side, whichis we try to lump everything in together,

(01:15:29):
which is morally I think it's wrong. I think you're killing a baby.
But I live in a world wherethere's got to be compromise in life,
and to get elected you may haveto give in. Well I don't
want to give in. Okay,then you don't get elected, and then
that person doesn't get elected, andall of a sudden you go from having

(01:15:49):
a house full of Republicans that canhelp you in other ways, not just
about abortion and the I mean,the fight in many cases is the extreme
pro life and the extreme pro choice. They're the two, are the ones

(01:16:10):
we hear all the time. They'rethe one issue people the rest of us
may look at that and go,I believe that life is at conception,
and lo and behold. That isa belief that you have. But you
also understand you live in a worldwhere there has to be compromised because you
don't win all the elections you want. And because of that, you say

(01:16:32):
to yourself, well, the compromise. Then with fifteen weeks, what about
that? And then the extremes getinvolved? Says no or yes. But
I tell everybody this, and Iwont everybody to understand. If you go
and you lose every election and you'relet's say you're a pro life conservative,
it's the only thing that matters toyou, and you lose every election,

(01:16:55):
then eventually you have no power andall the stuff that you worked hard to
get is gone. Then they codifyit, then they make it virtually impossible
to get rid of it, andall of a sudden, the stuff that
you worked for gone. And ontop of that, other things you like,
like your rights, taxes, regulation, well, guess who's in power

(01:17:21):
the opposite party and the things thatyou believe in now, well you no
longer have a say in those thingsbecause you didn't win elections. So moral
side, legal side, the politicalside, and that's where you have to
decide where am I going to be. And for the most part, even

(01:17:43):
conservatives, Republicans, Rhinos whatever youwant to call them, in the Bible
belt are I don't want to banit completely. So yeah, let's not
now. I thought the Republicans shouldwent in Arizona. And why it's important
is because it's the one of theseven swing states and you need Arizona.

(01:18:08):
We know what a nightmare Arizona wasin twenty twenty. It didn't break for
Trump. I'm not going to relitigateit was stolen any of this stuff.
But putting this on the ballot,we have seen what happens when it gets
on the ballot. A choice endsup staying and b In other races,
you may face a serious issue whereyou lose a race and at a time

(01:18:31):
when you don't have a lot togive. It's not like you've got a
forty seat lead. You have asingle seat. And in state legislatures,
same thing here you got like oneor two seats, so you're risking losing
all of it and then losing everythingthat came with people that had and shared
many of your beliefs and the Republicansnot getting rid of this. I myself

(01:18:58):
think it's a mistake. I do, and it was, and I know
what people are saying because I'll getit a ton of emails. So let
me let me already stop you.You're not pro life. I could be
pro life, but understand that you'remaking the choice, not me, and
for me to restrict you and takeyou down to nothing except for the health
of the mother. By the way, this one hundred and sixty four year

(01:19:18):
old, this is the health ofthe mother. Not rape, not incess,
none of that stuff. Not viabilityof the child, none of that
stuff. The health of the mother. I want you to take that in
for a second. Is it worthit if you lose and you no longer
have the House and the Senate onthe national level, and at your state

(01:19:42):
level you no longer have the Housein the Senate, is it worth it
for your not being able to compromiseand give because for the people out there
that are independence and you are Republicanswho this isn't the number one issue,
but it's an issue. But they'reworried about regulation, foreign wars, taxes,

(01:20:06):
things of that nature. They're nowgoing to pay the price as well
because the other side on the leftwill have the power to implement the things
that they're not thrilled with. Soit's not just compromise and giving into quote
unquote the other side, And thesame thing goes for the left. Yesterday,
our buddy John Kennedy hilarious talking tothe Health and Human Services person.

(01:20:34):
It's just trying to get an answerout of people, is hilarious, and
we played last aur Katie Porter.Won't denounce people who say death to America.
Rep just trying to get somebody totalk about, like, is fifteen
weeks good? What restrictions do yousupport in the third trimester to the right
to an abortion? Tell me whatrestriction? If you read the Roe versus

(01:20:55):
Wade decision, it'll answer your question. Why don't you just answer it for
me? I did Road versus Way? What rats the projection you support on
the right to an abortion in thethird trime? Mister you personally Road versus
Wait? Okay, Roe versus Wadedoesn't say what restrictions Roe versus Waye just
says the state and the federal governmenthave the right to impose restriction twenty five

(01:21:18):
twenty six weeks. See, theydon't want to say it out loud because
there what are you afraid of hurting? Well, just like on the right,
the left doesn't want to hurt theirbase because a vast majority of people
and the left doesn't like to hear, and pro choice people don't want to
hear. Is after the first trimester, the support for abortion drops big time,

(01:21:38):
and by the third trimester virtually nosupport. I'm asking you what restrictions
you you you support. For example, if the mother and the baby are
healthy, and we're a week beforebirth, and the parents change their mind
and say we don't want a boy, wouldn't want a girl, abort the
baby who happens to be a girl, would you support that right? I

(01:21:58):
know no one who would go asfar as what you're indicating. Well,
then what wouldn't you say you willto pose it? Because I'm telling you
where I stand, which is nowhereJavier Backeria, Well, then wana wouldn't
you say you will to pose it? Because I'm telling you where I stand
now. I have been very clearfor a while, loping and weaving and
flip flopping them like, let mestand as still as you'd like, satate,

(01:22:21):
I won't move and I'll just movemy legs. A week before birth,
maybe healthy mother, healthy, wouldyou support the right to an amortion
because of the parents dislike the genderof the baby? Yes, I'm not
Yeah, As I said, awoman should have the right. Yeah,
he's not going to answer. Womanshould have the right to choose. Not

(01:22:41):
going to answer. It's a yesor no question, which is what you
do in politics. I understand that, but you're not going to get any
answer out of it because nobody everwants to offend their base, so they
play. At koy three two,three, five, three eight, twenty
four twenty three At Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter coming up? A
little bit bottom of the hour,We're going to talk to Misha, a

Man City, Real Madrid number onetrending thing yesterday, Real Madrid second trending
thing yesterday. Miami Heat Arsenal soccerteam. A Jontay Porter contract. Talked
about him earlier. He got thePete Rose band. He was a player
in the NBA fringe player at best. His brother's a superstar, but he

(01:25:26):
has been banned from the NBA forlife for betting on basketball on prop bets
in many cases where he was involved. And I'm sure there's going to be
more that comes out. Talk abit, maybe more about that. The
bulls, Nelly love Me some Nellyand Ashanti. They're expecting a baby and
engaged under the Bridge. It's anew show out on Hulu starring Lily Gladstone,

(01:25:50):
Jimmy Butler, Red Lobster, TrevorBauer. You guys don't know who.
Trevor Bauer is baseball player and arguablythree years ago best pitcher in baseball.
Dodger signed him to a fat contract, three year deal, and halfway
through the season he's accused of sexualassaults and all this stuff. Women came

(01:26:11):
forward, comes out and find outeverything was consensual. She was in it
for the money. And now anotherwoman who said that he did the similar
thing has been charged with extortion andfraud. Meanwhile, he's pitching in Mexico
making no money. Mike Johnson movingforward with Ukraine, Bill, We're going

(01:26:38):
to talk to somebody who has notonly been in Ukraine, been on the
front lines, somebody who has beenhere in the United States and who is
Ukrainian and has gone over back homeand been on the front lines of Ukraine.
And we're going to talk to himget in perspective that you're not getting

(01:27:00):
many other places, especially on talkradio. His name is Misha. He's
gonna join us in a few minutes, talk about what it's like over there,
what it was like when they attacked, kind of get a breakdown of
it, and the whole Nazi thing, which you guys send me tons of
emails about. Head on over tothe magical world of Yahoo. Cherry Turner,
Primrose Hill, what's the new songthat is? Julian Lennon and Paul

(01:27:27):
McCartney's son, Donald Trump, Alejandro, Majorcas, Dubai flooding all there,
and then finally in the magical magicalworld of Twitter. Ooh, what is
on Twitter? WNBA? Lots ofNBA stuff, Clay Sixers, Majorcas Man.
That went over like a thud,didn't it. You knew it was
going to the Majorcas thing. Wetouched on it earlier. What did you

(01:27:51):
expect them to do? They're notgoing to impeach me? We are you
gonna get it sixty votes? Anyways, And it's Paul and remember high crimes
and misdemeanors. It's a political thing. My orcist didn't do anything but carry
out the bidding of the president,that's all he did. Every right to

(01:28:12):
dislike the way that he's doing things, but he works basically at the best
of the president, and he wentout and has done what the President has
asked him to do, which waswhatever it is he's doing, which is
not a lot Zion Williamson, notZionist. Rosie O'Donnell. Maybe we'll play

(01:28:35):
some of that a little bit laterbefore we wrap up the show. Chanti
Trey Young and more on the youngman who will no longer be playing in
the NBA. The NBA. Yeah, some of the bets that guy made
were really like, first of all, I've always wondered criminals. Sometimes there

(01:28:57):
are criminals out there and you're like, dude, you could have been in
anything. You're brilliant, and youthink what happened, and then you meet
people and you're like, you're anidiot. I'm surprised you didn't get caught
sooner. There were prop bets onthis guy, a guy who plays like
three minutes a game, that werelike one hundred thousand dollars, that's how

(01:29:18):
ridiculous it was. Rather than spreadit out over forty different betting things,
it was prop bets on this guyat one clip. Still not as bad
as the interpreter for the Dodgers.That guy was forty million dollars in the
hole forty million dollars. How badof a better do you have to be

(01:29:43):
to be forty million dollars down whenyour average bet is twelve thousand dollars.
You've got to the cold streak.You must go on? Is is incredible?
Three two, three, five,three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show,he's your Twitter tweet edis texta program coming
up? His name is Misha.It's been an intern here in America,

(01:30:08):
got a school in America. Theguy has done a lot of things.
Loves liberty, loves all of thestuff that we stand for. But he's
Ukrainian and he went home, beenon the front lines. He's done a
lot of stuff. He's gonna giveus a breakdown of what's going on,
what America doesn't understand about the fightthat's going on over there. And we're

(01:30:29):
gonna talk to him straight ahead.We're gonna do that next right here from
the Chad Benson Show, The ChadBenson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(01:31:04):
This is Chad Benson. We knowwhat's going on in Ukraine, and
since October seventh, things have changed. Our eyes move away from because we
have a short attention band. It'sAmerica, welcome to it. Joining us
now is a guy that understands Ukrainebetter than all of us because he's been
there, because he is Ukrainian,and he's going to fill us in a
little bit more. And it's crazy. Misha joins the program. Now,

(01:31:29):
all right, my man, Iwant you. You're young, what are
you in your early twenties, midtwenties seven? Okay, I want you
to tell a lot of people wholisten, you know, conservative talk radio,
they always think, oh, it'syou know, you guys are a
bunch of Nazis and that's why heinvaded you, and you've got the wakadoo's
out there. I want you toexplain to everybody what it's really like and

(01:31:50):
what's going on over there. Yeah. Sure. So it's actually interesting because
you know, this idea that Ukrainiansare Nazis and all of that, it
came from a Russian Russian propaganda Butthat's crazy. And the problem I see
right now in the United States isthat a lot of people actually are buying
Russian propaganda. So and I nowonder why, because Russians are really good

(01:32:15):
at that. And with the recentdata that we have. Russia spent four
billion dollars on the propaganda the West, and the majority of this money,
of course went to the United States. If you open Twitter right now,
you can see all of these peoplewho support Russia, who support at the
same time they support Iran, theysupport China and the patriots of the United

(01:32:40):
States. And that drives me crazybecause it's hard to be the patriot of
your country when you support the foreignadversaries. So Miche, let me ask
you this. Right, So youare, you're twenty seven, You're in
the United States, you did someinternships, you love what the United States
is about. Then your country getsinvaded, and what's your next step in

(01:33:00):
that situation? February day rolls overall of a sudden, here it is
your country's invaded. What do youdo? On February twenty fourth, That's
actually how that happened. I wokeup from the explosions. I was actually
visiting my parents because back the time, in January I have I had my
birthday, so and twenty five yearsis actually a legal age when you could

(01:33:21):
own a rifle in Ukraine. SoI was preparing for Russians to come.
So I went to my home cityto buy a rifle. Actually, I
volunteer. That's how I became basicallycombat matic. I went through the training
and since then I've been on deploymentson the East, working with the regular

(01:33:43):
army units. So we go tothe very front line and ever created the
wounded, to be created the deadsoldiers. That's basically my job on the
battlefield. Talking to Misha Lavarowski,who is twenty seven, it's over there
is on the front lines. Wehear stuff all the time, you know,
and nowadays and you know this,Mesu. You're out there, you've

(01:34:04):
got phones, you've got internet access, we can see a lot of things.
Give people here in America a descriptionof what it is you see on
a day to day basis, notonly in the front lines and when you're
out there volunteering and bringing people back, but also what's it like average day
in Kiev? I mean, peoplegoing about their business. I mean,

(01:34:25):
because we don't get a sense ofwhat that is here. So just like
Kiev, they say that it's hardto feel the work in the city because
after we'll repel to the Russians fromthe outskirts of Kiev, is it's more
or less back to its normal life. During the spring of twenty twenty two
or just when Russians were close toKiyo, I was in the city and

(01:34:46):
I would say you it looked likesome scene from the apocalyptic movie, because
Kiev is the city where I leavefor the last six years and see such
a huge city with almost like fourmillion people living there being completely empty.
It's something that still I still havein my mind because it was like,

(01:35:11):
you know, the movie I'm theLegend that or something like that, is
like totally empty streets, Like couldyou imagine New York without like any anyone
just here the like distant explosions.But now it's completely different. City is
more or less back to normal peopleworking, although like we have like occasional
air strikes happening, like missiles urinyand drones flying over. My apartment is

(01:35:38):
actually on the seventeenth floor, whichis one of the tallest buildings in the
area of ki if I leave,so every night when we have this air
raid, allar going on and rocketsflying over, I could see the explosions,
I could see the air defense working, I could hear the Patriot missiles
flying and all of that. Soit's more or less normal in the Ukrainian

(01:36:02):
way, I would say, butstill that's something that we are fighting for
to have this normal life. Theparts of Ukraine that are not so much
exposed to the Russian aggression, butif you move just a few hours to
the east, you have cities likeHarkiv which now are basically been erased from

(01:36:23):
the existence because Putting completely change hisstrategy in Ukraine, because when he first
started this full scale invasion, hesaw that like that, we know that
in three days they've got to captureKia and Ukrainian we're gonna agree to Russian
soldiers with flowers. Didn't happen.And now he sees that he cannot capture

(01:36:45):
those cities as easily to have themas the Russian cities, so he just
destroyed them to the ground. AndHarkive is a great example. Right now,
every day we have like thousands notthousands, sorry, like tons of
rockets, tons of bombs dropping offon the seat, and we have cities

(01:37:05):
like Mario. We have cities likea vehicle, which is basically does not
exist anymore. I was stationed ina vehicle last summer and it was already
heavily shelved, but like what happenedduring the last few MONTHSS was just crazy
because Russians developed this new kind ofweapons. They put the wings to their

(01:37:27):
bombs, which allows them to launchthem as far as seventy eighty kilometers from
the from the front line where theyfeel themselves relatively safe from the Ukrainian air
defense. And we cann't do anythingabout that because we fort that we need
the Patriot misas we need the Fsixteens, and as you could see,

(01:37:50):
we haven't got them. As forpatriot missiles, not not as many as
we need, and for F sixteens, we haven't got any. Like after
two years suppose invasion. Talking toMisha, who is a Ukrainian who has
been on the front lines and backand forth to the United States and Ukraine,
what do you want people to knowhere about what's going on over there?

(01:38:10):
Because again October seventh happened and wechanged our focus to what's going on
with Israel, what's going on obviouslyin Palestine and then Iran the other day,
what do you want people to recognize, Hey, don't forget that we're
still battling something here that is arguablybigger because of the nuclear weapons. I
mean, what would you like theAmerican people to know. Yeah, One

(01:38:32):
of I think important things to realizeis that what happens in Israel, what
happened just a happened just a fewdays ago, the Uranian attack, and
what is happening in Ukraine and whatwould probably happen in Taiwan. It's not
the separate events. It's the sameevents of these authoritarian regimes that are now

(01:38:55):
uniting in this I would say excessof evil, because you see Iran attacked
Israel a few days ago with thesame weapons Russia used, and that was
provided by Iran. In Ukraine,they tested them well for the last two
years because as far as I remember, Russia launch more than two thousand Iranian

(01:39:16):
drones, plus now they have Iranianballistic missiles also launching, and as well
as the Korean ones, the NorthKorean ones. So there is a bigger
picture that people somehow choose not tosee. But as I said, it's
all the parts of this big puzzlethat actually is more or less the same,

(01:39:40):
because we are facing the same regimes, the same ideals, I would
say, because on the one side, we have the Western world with yeah,
maybe not flawless, but democracy andfreedom On the other side, we

(01:40:00):
have regimes as putting, as asChinese, as Uranian, as North Korean
that basically say, we don't likethe way you live in guys, we
don't we like you to also bethe Tuitarian regimes, we hate democracy,
and they openly saying that. Ifyou look at what the imitative is saying,

(01:40:23):
he's basically advocating for the genocide ofUkrainians, and he's saying that Russia
is at war not only with withUkraine, but it was the Western world
with native with the US, andand they hate us. So that kind
of drives me crazy to see thatsome people could actually use their arguments and
that some people here on the West, in the US especially, could could

(01:40:45):
support such tyrannical regimes that have novalue in human life. And I'm not
even saying that they don't support thefreedom and liberty that we love here.
It's crazy, man, And it'sbeen a crazy couple of years. And
I'm sure you just want this thingover as fast as possible. We appreciate

(01:41:09):
you coming on today, taking timeout of your day, and we hope
to talk to you again soon.I really appreciate it. Man. Be
safe out there. Yeah, thankyou. There you have it again,
a different perspective as all this stuffgoes on, Johnson, they're trying to
get through all of this Ukraine aid. They need help. But you're hearing
from people and what it's like there. And we can be frustrated about the

(01:41:30):
amount of money we spent and alot of different things like that, but
let's be honest about what's going onover there. The end of the day,
they were attacked and that's the realityof It's the same thing that we've
talked about over and over again whenit comes to even now with Israel and
Iran. Why are people being killed, famine and destruction in places like Gaza

(01:41:56):
Rafa throughout Palestine into Lebanon now withthe battle that's going on there, the
potential with Iran squaring off with Israel. Simple October seventh, Hamas, that's
why. That is why, solots of stuff to figure out. Great
interview. Appreciate them coming on.We'll get them on again if you miss

rare and dripping with irony. It'sChad Benson, to put it bluntly,

(01:43:51):
I would rather send bullets to Ukrainethan American boys. My son is
going to begin in the navel lookout of this all this is a live
fire exercise for me. Is itis so many American families that right there
house speaker of Mike Johnson talking aboutthe Ukraine package. We just had me
Sean who has Who's Ukrainians been onthe front lines in the battle and some

(01:44:14):
of you, man, you likethat guy is full of it. There's
Nazis everywhere and you know it's weknow who you are. We can't let
Putin be the bully on the streetthat he's going to be. We just
can't. We may hate the factthat we got to send money, but
as George Will points out, thereality is the money we're sending that's a
rounding air in America. It isit's a rounding air in our budget.

(01:44:38):
The end of the day. Thesacrifice is what they're making because they're sacrificing
everything for their freedoms. And thisbe a yeah, and I get it.
I get into it all the timewith my uncle, who's gonna be
on the show tomorrow. We havea lot of tech stuff to talk about.
AI thinks of that nature cause hethinks they're everybody there is corrupt.
Well, first of all, wasthe most corrupt nation in Europe. That

(01:45:00):
is the reality of the corruption hasgone down. Is it still corrupt?
Yeah, it's unfortunate. A lotof Eastern European countries are super corrupt.
But who invaded who? Tell mewho invaded who? And we have to
continue to do what we can.But we need accountability for the money.
And one of the things that MikeJohnson talks about in this situation is is
where a lot of that money isgoing. Eighty percent of the money that

(01:45:24):
would be allocated in this legislation isfor replenishment of our own weapons and stocks.
I mean, this is something thatmakes sense. We're what we're doing
is funding America's industrial defense base,which I think is smart because we have
taken it way down. And youhave a few people on the fringe right
who I don't disagree with in everythingwhen it comes to Ukraine. But as

(01:45:47):
I've said since the beginning of this, we're like we're sending I had to
explain to people the other day,you know, they don't see the money
that you think that they see.Do we send them some cash, yes,
for certain things, small amounts comparativelyto what you hear. What do
you hear all this money here?Now, this money never leaves our country.

(01:46:08):
It goes to the military industrial complex, but it pays for stuff,
for jobs, for things like thatin our country. So think about that
for a second. And I wantedto get to the floor just to see
who's going to vote forward or againstit. Now I don't even know if
Biden is going to sign. Hesaid he wouldn't. It's not the way
the world works, brother, Right, they send you something, you sign

(01:46:29):
it. If you're going to vetoit, you better have the veto power.
And I don't think you do havethe veto power in this sense,
because I think they can override you. And I don't you know, you're
sitting here like a perfect example isthe border Bill Well, I won't sign
a border bill without all this stuffin it. We need money for your
crank, Well, we're going tosend you that. We're going to send
the bill separately. Well, no, I'm not going to sign that.
It needs to be all together.Politics. It's ridiculous at times, isn't

(01:46:51):
it. This is not a game, it's not a joke. We can't
play politics of this. We haveto do the right thing. And I'm
going to allow an opportunity for everysingle member of the House to vote their
conscience and their will on this.And I think that's the way this institution
is supposed to work. And I'mwilling to take personal risk for that because
we have to do the right thingin historial judges. Yep. And that's
what leaders do. You take therisk, and the risk is let me

(01:47:13):
show you that I think this isthe right thing to do, and if
you vote me out, which oneof the things in this bill apparently is
a provision to make it harder tounseat the Speaker of the House by just
one vote, and a lot ofRepublicans for that because they look at this
and think this is going to beridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, it's time
to learn a bit, and thenI go and spoil it all by saying

(01:47:35):
something stupid. It will take stupidpills this morning. It's the honest ones.
You want to watch out full becauseyou can never predict they're going to
do something incredibly stupid. Now you'rethe fat, stupid one with the big
mouth. Is stupid. You shouldnever underestimize the predictability of stupidity. Now

(01:47:57):
it's time fall stupid information. Stupidinformation comes from a quote from the President
of the United States about his uncle, uncle Bosey, and he became a
Lami Air Corps before the Air Forcecame along. He's of those single engine
planes has reconnaissance over war zones.They got shot down in New Guinea and

(01:48:24):
they never found the body because thereused to be there a lot of cannibals
for real in that part. Andyou did it. I eat cannibal.
I eat cannibals. Oh so isthat true? Well no, it's not.
Your uncle actually ditched in the ocean, wasn't shot down. But are

(01:48:45):
there cannibals in Papua New Guinea.Yes. The Kowari tribe if Baba,
New Guinea is one of the lastknown tribes who have practiced cannibalism and to
this day still do. Because ofthe kowari's belief in evil spirits, it
was necessary to kill and eat aperson they believe who had been taken over
by the kakou or demon. Theyalso ate the flesh of their deceased family
members as a way to mourn andguide the deceased spirits into the afterlife.

(01:49:10):
But not your uncle Bosson three twothree, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweadtexts of program solid fun show today.
We'll do it again tomorrow. Isee you Friday Night, night Jack.
