(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson, Trump, Bennis Packer,
David Pecker, that is that washis pal, his buddy ran the
National Inquirer, caught and killed stories, wanted to help Trump in the twenty
sixteen campaign. So what is thata crime? Is it? I'm curious,

(00:35):
is it a crime to do that? Well, you know, Chad,
because of the things and no,I'm telling, I'm asking, I'm
asking for say, let's talk abouta laptop, which I rarely ever talked
about hunterd laptop. Was that storynot killed by everybody in the media outside

(00:55):
of The New York Post. Wasthat not passed off as disinformation even when
everybody knew it was real? Oh, we had a bunch of people sign
off saying was Russian disinformation. Thisis insane. And I'm gonna tell you
something else. I think Trump wantsto go to jail. I think Trump

(01:17):
is goating this guy into locking himup so he could say, told you
guys, they're coming for me.They want to lock me up. I
can't campaign. They want me behindbars. They want me behind bars.
Surreal. He walked the jury throughthe first time that he ever caught and
killed a story for Donald Trump.It was in late twenty fifteen, and

(01:41):
it was a doorman who worked atTrump Tower was shopping a false story that
Donald Trump had fathered an illegitimate childwith a maid at Trump Tower. And
you can sort of see Donald Trump'sface, his head is shaking as he's
sitting at the defense table. WhenPecker first says what that allegation is,
says Pecker, you got to doit David Pecker's name. We know that

(02:02):
that story did end up not beingtrue. There was no illegitimate child that
Donald Trump had with a maid atTrump Tower. But the really telling part
of this testimony is when the prosecutor, Joshua steinlass ass and why are you
paying thirty thousand dollars to bury anuntrue story? And Pecker ultimately testifies because

(02:23):
if the story got out to anotherpublication, it would have been embarrassing for
the campaign. Yeah, here's something. They're like, Hey, why did
you pay to have somebody go outthere and say, all right, fine,
I'll take thirty thousand dollars and Iwon't sell this story that's not true
to somebody else. Nobody's asking thequestion, Hey, why is this guy

(02:46):
trying to lie? And blackmail usinto giving him money so he doesn't sell
a false story. And why wouldother publications print something they know is false?
Oh yeah, that's weird, right, It's so insane that we're at
this point now. I've said thisover and over again. If you guys

(03:07):
listen to the show, you guysknow me, like a lot of the
policies, think there's way too muchdrama around Trump. I like the fact
that he fights for certain things.But I've said it over and over again.
I think he could pick a fightwith his shadow in a dark room.
But this is ridiculous. Well,they killed stories, They caught and
killed stories, even stories that weren'ttrue. Why because it would have hurt

(03:30):
him. So people were out tohurt him, and so you had to
give somebody money to not hurt isn'tthat blackmail? I thought that would be
blackmail. No, no, no, that's just the cost of doing business,
eh? Is that what that is? Are we going to hear that

(03:53):
Donald Trump came to him and said, you know what, I really love
Malania. I can't let her hearabout this. This would devastate the children.
Think about what would happened to Baron? Or are we going to hear.
No, I want to win thiselection. I don't want people to
hear about this because of the accessHollywood tapes, because of the consistent Karen
mcdoll's story. Now, Stormy Daniels, I want to win this election.

(04:14):
Which Donald Trump? Are we goingto hear? Probably a little bit of
both. Of course, he wantedto win the election. Did I think
he wanted to hurt Milania? Idon't know. Maybe they have agreement.
Just don't let it get out.Whatever you do, don't let it get
out. So let me get thisright. If the reason that he wanted
a story killed, I'm just tryingto follow the logic. The reason he

(04:34):
wanted the story killed was I don'twant to hurt my wife and my kids,
then we're good. If it's becauseI want to win an election,
well then that's just evil. I'mstill trying to figure out exactly how we
tie all this together. And Ithink it again, this entire thing's ridiculous.
Look at what's going on in DCand mar A Lago. I'm fine,

(04:57):
go ahead, look get deep.If the trials are gonna happen,
and again, I don't think thosetrials are happening anytime soon if at all.
Okay, but these two in Georgia, New York, so political and
so ridiculous, so ridiculous, AndI know what you guys are. Some
of you are gonna text you he'sa rapist, not a rapist. He

(05:19):
was never charged with rape. It'sjust absolutely asinine and stupid that we're here.
But alas here we are. Here, we are three two, three,
five, three eight, twenty fourto twenty three at Chad Benson shows
your Twitter, tweet at us,text the program. I love hearing from
all of you. I'm telling youguys, right now, he is tempting

(05:42):
this judge to put him in jailover the gag order. And the more
that he does it, he wantsto see because this judge also understands if
I put him in jail because heviolated a gag order, the left's gonna
cheer, and the right and evensome independence You're going out, Wow,
they really are going after this guy. And there's also going to be First

(06:04):
Amendment challenges when it comes to alot of these things going on and campaign
issues. I think he wants towear it as a you know, the
red badge of courage. So weshall see. But Meanwhile, there is
a lot of spending going on inDC. They passed that big bill ninety

(06:25):
five kazillion kabillion dollars to help outUkraine, Taiwan and Israel. Also maybe
to go after TikTok. After morethan six months of hard work, many
twists and turns in the road,America sends a message to the entire world.
We will not turn our back onyou. That's right, not turn

(06:46):
our back on you, even Israelwho are friends in Israel, America will
soon deliver a to help you fightthe scourge of Hamas and stand up to
Iran, to winnocent civilians in Gazain the midst of a war, and
that those around the world who facehunger. America will deliver food and medicine
and clothing and bombs to the peoplethat are bombing you, Which is so

(07:10):
weird if you think about it justfor a second. Hey, Israel,
we got all kinds of stuff foryou. You got some new stuff too.
Wow, is it awesome? You'regonna be able to blow a whole
bunch of crap up and protect yourself, So you're gonna be able to go
after a boss and just do allkinds of stuff. Hey, hey,

(07:30):
hey, hey, hey, Gazaat Palestine, we got you guys some
pop tarts. So bizarre. Sowait, we're we're giving people bombs and
pop tarts. I don't think they'regiving them pop tarts, you know what
I mean. It is such aweird thing. It is when you think

(07:53):
about it, pick a side andI look over there and I see what's
going on, and it is horrific. I also continue to point out none
of this would be happening if notfor October seventh. And we're gonna get
to what's going on in college campuses, the lunacy there, and there's plenty
of it, and it's getting worse. Columbia shutting down school show some balls.

(08:18):
For God's sakes, We're gonna haveto shut the school down. Some
of these kids are very angry.They're super angry, and they've got like
a tent. I saw what Isaid this post yesterday. There's a bunch
of people that were like doing interpretivedance. Somebody posts so moving, what

(08:41):
how is that helping the people inGaza. Take off your damn mask as
well? Stop with that. That'sthat's a sign of the resistance. You
see a young kid wearing a mask. That's a sign that they're resisting jeez.

half of us wind to prison.The other half wins of the military,
so we've got the necessary skills,not including the fact that we were
raised by World War one and twoand Korea and Vietnam veterans, so we're

(10:54):
pretty familiar with gorilla tactics rot.Yeah, that's right. We're also latch
key kids. We got to fixit. We're the smallest generation. It's
nothing else. I mean, youknow, the baby Boomers get the blame

three, two, three, five, eight, twenty four to twenty three
Atch d Benson Show, It's yourTwitter tweet at US text to program.

(12:24):
Uh, President Biden, you weresaying, no sense I don't know why
he's We're surprised, but Trump,how many times he have to prove we
can't be trusted? We can't betrusted? Okay? I don't trust you.
In fact, I don't trust anypolitician because it's funny because when politicians

(12:45):
speak, the joke, what's theold adage, right, if your mouth
is moving, chances are your line. So politicians are whichever way the wind
blows at that moment in time.They know what the right thing is to
do. But the right thing forthem will always be the most important thing.

(13:05):
It's the thing we always break down, the three piece party, personal
people. Party first means getting reelected, which is personal, which means,
hey, whatever's left, guess what, we'll give that to the people.
That was Biden yesterday talking about abortion. Trump was literally taking us back one

(13:26):
hundred and sixty years. He saysit's up to the states and this is
all about state rights. But he'swrong. The Supreme Court was wrong.
It should be a constitutional right inthe Federal Constitution, in the Federal Constitution
to be a constitutional right Constitution Constitution. Trump's not taking us back one hundred

(13:48):
and sixty years like that whole thingin Arizona. And that's what he's talking
about back when he was a kid, talking about the abortion law that is
in Arizona, which I think theRepublicans need to get rid of. But
for whatever reason, and you know, Carrie Lake, I saw our flip
flop the other day because she waslike, they went too far with this

(14:09):
one hundred and sixty four year oldwhatever it is law that they have in
you know, it's literally a territoriallaw because this was Arizona was not a
state when this law was passed,and it supersedes the fifteen week abortion plan

(14:31):
that they had that Doug Doucy,former governor, put into place, because
you know, Dobbs came in overthrewRoe v Wade boom way it went.
But saying Trump and took you back, Trump wasn't around one hundred and sixty
four years ago. Both of youguys are old, but you're not that
old. Okay. Speaking of abortion, here's a new ad campaign the Democrats

(14:54):
are rolling out I want you guysto listen to this and picture it,
and then I'll explain it to you. If you've not seen it, you're
gonna make it. Trump Republicans wantto criminalize young Alabama women who travel for
reproductive care mass. I'm gonna needyou to step out of the vehicle,
take a pregnancy test. Stop themby taking action at right to Travel dot

(15:18):
Org. Campaign for Democracy group isresponsible for the content of this advertising.
Right to Travel dot Org. Soa officer pulls over two young women who
are fleeing this state, and he'sgot a pregnancy test in his hand.

(15:39):
Oh god, it's like parody,Chad. That's what it's really gonna be.
It's not gonna be like that.First of all, already a ton
of states said we're not even gonna, you know, hold people accountable for
any of these things that are putin place, partially because people are just
confused. They don't know what iswhat. Scotus is hearing another case about
a bord right now as well,so and it's it's it is confusing as

(16:04):
hell. I keep going with thefifteen weeks, take it away, take
it and you know, the wholethought process. It was never settled.
It was never settled, and it'snot settled now. And as long as
there's an opportunity when it comes toabortion, choice, life, whatever you
want to call it, to raisemoney on it, to keep it a

(16:26):
political issue, they're going to continueto do that because it's good business for
them. Three two, three,five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show toTwitter, your Instagram. We've got a
lot of fun stuff coming up withwen Day. We've got some wacky,
woke stuff as well. More onwhat's going on on college campuses. Oh
my goodness, it's insane. Columbiahas canceled all in person classes for the

(16:53):
rest of the year. Soak thatup for a second. The protester are
winning. You're giving in to abunch of children who are demanding you do
certain things and allowing the campus toessentially become their chop, their chaz.

(17:17):
Remember that back in the the mostlypeaceful protest that took place in the summer
of George Floyd riots just nuts andsome Columbia parents are like, you know
what, I think I'd like mymoney back. Three two, three,
five, twenty four twenty three atchat Benson show's your Twitter. It is
the Chad Benson Champion, the ChadBenson shoe dependent Thoughts, independent life.

(18:03):
This is Chad Benson. It isWednesday. Not only do we get you
over the hump, we get youwoke. We get you to understand the
insanity of the things that are goingon out there in the world. We're
going to take a fresh look intowhat's happening on college campuses around the nation.
Buckle up, everybody, It's timeto talk about my pronouns. When
people are born, the doctor looksat them and they make a guess,

(18:25):
not sure whether the baby is aboy or girl. But sometimes the doctor
is wrong. No, chee lucyis a ghos are the pronouns? They
them? They there was two ofthem. Fun thing about you yesterday I
came out of So let's go rockrockspronouns. That sounds so cool. Let

(18:45):
me introduce you to our non binaryI am non binary and I use they
them pronouns. And my students knowthis. We just came up with new
words that fit us better. It'sfine. What if I want to be
called sir Elton Johnny. It's timefor Woke Wednesday. Woke Insanity on college
campuses. We know that. Let'sstart first with another IVY League school that

(19:08):
has nothing to do with Columbia,but they are having a hunger strike.
Over all the chaos that's going onabout shouldn't you be eating for them?
It's not very nice, jued oneof the Yale graduate students doing the hunger
strike, calling for Yale to divestfrom weapons manufacturer, specifically from those being
used for genociding Gaza because this isnot normal. We've been asking, we've

(19:30):
been demanding on the streets with statements, with all kinds of actions for the
military and financial support for genocide tostop. We have seen massacre after massacre.
We've seen extermination, cultural extermination,we've seen bodies, we've seen resistance,
and we need to side with thosewho are resisting. Okay, do

(19:52):
you hear that in the background rightcall the prayer and stuff that's on Yale's
campus resisting, continue to resist,and we are resisting apartheid, to our
assisting colonialism and genocide, and weneed to stand with the people who are
opposing all of those things. Andthis is why we are hunger striking.
We are putting our bodies on theline to suffer just a little bit meniscal

(20:18):
portion about Caza, and both thingsare going through, and I call on
everyone in the United States around theworld to join us. No I had
a protein shake a lot while ago. Is that okay, losing a ton
of weight and working out a lot. But I'm not going to join you.
I'm not because you guys have lostthe plot. You're fine with the

(20:40):
death of Israel. You're fine withthe destruction of Israel because your thought is
they're colonizers, they're zion Is,so if we kill them all, it's
okay. There's a justification there.They never say what the what they want,
say what you want as far asbecause you never come up with a

(21:04):
different like you know what we need, we all need to live together.
It's never that a two states solutions, never any of those things, because
it'll never be enough. And infact, the today in Cutter, one
of their reps basically said, Octoberseventh is just the beginning. These are
the ass hats that we're turning toto help us negotiate for hostages. And

(21:32):
they are calling on their floor.It's like our Congress calling for the annihilation
of Israel. So insane, soinsane, it's crazy the White House.
What do you think about it?While every American has the right to peaceful
protest, calls for violence and physicalintimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community

(21:52):
are blatantly anti Semitic, unconscionable,and dangerous, and they have no place
on any college campus or anywhere inthe United States of America. Yeah,
that's one of the spokes folks,spokes folks for the White House. You
can tell he's on an airplane,although it may be a trained because you
know how much Biden lies. Helikes a Hamtrak. Oh, Biden lies,

(22:15):
and he likes Amtrak. You know, I've written this thing four hundred
million miles, really went to themoon in it nice, so unsettling to
see what's going on on our campuses. It is. And later on in
the show the third hour, we'regoing to talk to a lady wh's got

(22:36):
a new book out. She coauthored a book about Marxism, the next
gen Marxism? What is it?How do you combat it? And so
much of it? I mean,you couldn't have written a better kind of
script to bring out a book anddebut it than what's going on in college
campuses. This is a Columbia likea like a professor. She's not one

(22:57):
of those like tenured ones like butshe's worked in national security in the White
House, both under Barack Obama andBush. And she is not excited about
what's going on on college campuses.She understands that this is uncomfortable. She

(23:18):
went to Colombia and this is thewoman who's worked in the world of you
know, chasing down terrorist things ofthat nature, and yeah, unsettled.
Well, so I should be clear. I was there last Thursday, and
I was there on Saturday, andI was horrified by what I saw.
And definition of peaceful is an interestingway to put it because it doesn't mean

(23:41):
that the protests on campus that's withinthe gates of Columbia were violent. I
didn't see anybody throwing anything, butthat doesn't mean that the messages weren't inciting
violence, inciting hate or anti Semitic. I walked by the protests during Saturday
afternoon and I saw two posters ofterrorists, the faces of terrorists staring at

(24:03):
me back in the face. Wow, her name is Hagar Shimali talking about
so so think about this. Twoposters of known terrorists staring her back in
the face. Now, let's justchange the feel of this for a second
bunch of white kids and their favoriteclans members. Oh well, that would

(24:26):
be different, Yeah, it wouldbe. But this seems to be okay.
And it's what I said yesterday.I got a lot of you have
read some text messages and some tweetsabout what I said yesterday of skin color
matters in this The success side ofit is the way they look at Israel,
the things that they blame the Jewson. But the skin color in
this situation matters in a big way. I used to work in counter terrorism

(24:48):
when I was in the US government, and when I saw those photos,
I was stunned. I just Istopped breathing. I couldn't believe what I
was looking at. And perhaps thestudents aren't aware of who these individuals are,
except I'm pretty sure if you've gottento Columbia, you know how to
use Google. And so the responsibilityis on them. One of them is
an individual tied to the Popular Frontfor the Liberation of Palestine that is a

(25:11):
US designated terroist organization, and theother is a former spokesperson for Palestinian Islamic
You're Hot also a US designated teristorganization, which, by the way,
is currently holding hostages in Gaza rightnow. Now, I have to tell
you that I've learned that today thoseposters were taken down. I don't know
if the students did it proactively,if the administration did. Either way,

(25:33):
that's the right move. And sowhat I saw on Saturday was peaceful in
that it wasn't physically violent, buthostile messaging. And by Saturday night they
had turned into violent rhetoric, callsfor intofada and violent protests outside of the
camp. Yeah, and they're justifiedin their minds to do so. They're

(25:59):
justified in their minds to do allof these things because they believe they're fighting
the good fight and that the Jewsare colonizers and they're bad. And remember
this has very little to do withthe religious aspect, That is very little
to do with really anything other thanthey look at the Jews more successful life

(26:21):
is good for them, and theylook over and they see what's going over
on Palestine, and there is noblame to Amas for any of the things
that are going on, no blameto a Moss for any of the money
that's been stolen and the billions ofdollars have been funneled to their leaders,
and the fact that there are peoplein many cases live in abject poverty,
no blame for any of those things. They look at it as overdog,

(26:42):
underdog, oppressor, and the oppressed. Donald Trump, what do you think
when they're closing Columbia? Now,I mean, it's just crazy. Columbia
should gain a little strength, alittle courage, and keep their school open.
Some balls, baby, I thinkthat's what he's trying to say.

You want to know something that pissesme off and just it'll never make
sense to me. How in themother hell do we get to the moon
But I can't get service in themiddle of one of America's largest cities.
Like I'm on a phone call andI'm a get but I can FaceTime them

(28:40):
up in China. I don't getit. I don't get it. I
don't get it. We got selfdriving cars on the freeway, but I
can't get service in the middle ofPhoenix, Arizona. Mega. That's sense.
I have to be honest with her. I agree. I totally agree.
There's times I'm like, I'm standingin the middle of one of the

(29:00):
biggest cities on the planet and mycell service sucks. And then I do
my show, as you guys know, from the Valley of the dirt people
out here in Arizona, in betweenTucson in Phoenix, and my service out
here, when it comes to mycomputer and all that stuff, it's it's

(29:22):
fretting incredible. But my cell service, there's a when I drive in to
Phoenix, there is a fifteen milestretch where I have no cell service and
I'm just sitting there going really really. But when I drive to see Jack
in San Diego, going through Godf'ssake and nowhere, my cell service is

(29:42):
fine. I think all of youlistening know there's a place or two no
matter where you are, that thetowers don't connect and it frustrates you.
Three two three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, it's yourTwitter and all of the other things.
Let me tell you something. Yousay a lot about t Swift, but

(30:06):
she sells. She is a brand, and that brand right now is a
bankable The place where Taylor Swift's newalbum is setting streaming records, Spotify is
setting revenue records. And it's thelatest earnings report. The company says in
the first quarter of twenty twenty four, it passed a billion dollars in gross
profit for the first time ever.Total active monthly users free and paid were

(30:29):
up nineteen percent year over year.The six hundred and fifteen million worldwide and
paid subscribers were up fourteen percent.This comes after big time cost cutting and
layoffs. Last year, Spotify letgo around seventeen percent of its staff,
about fifteen hundred jobs. You knowwhat's crazy? So her her album sold
one point six million copies in theUS in a single day. Now you're

(30:52):
ready for this. A vast majorityof it CDs and vinyl. What YEP
CDs and vinyl? Seven hundred thousandactual vinyl albums sold. I think I
think vinyl albums are the uh,the new Pokemon cards for hip kids and

(31:18):
uh, and you know, Imean just it's kind of the new thing
because my daughter, my stepdaughter isso into vinyl. She loves albums,
and you know, she got theBluetooth like record player and all that stuff.
But it is still not bringing backthe tape, no cassette tape yet.
But the CD thing too, Ithought was rather interesting. But seven

(31:42):
hundred thousand actual vinyl albums sold,which is crazy. She didn't even sign
on one of them. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ChadBenson's show, is your Twitter tweet at
as text to pro Will there beTikTok? Will there not be TikTok?
That is the great question. Congressis on the verge of passing legislation that

(32:06):
would essentially ban TikTok if it's notsold. Can you be specific about what
your fear is. TikTok represents anational security concern. TikTok's parent company is
beholden to the Chinese government, sothat for US manifests itself in three specific
ways. It has to do withthe data, It has to do with

(32:27):
the recommendation algorithm. It has todeal with the software. Okay has to
deal with all of those things,and the fact that China, remember the
law in China. If you're acompany doing business in China and you're a
Chinese company, I mean, they'realready going to spy on you and take
your stuff anyways, if you're doingbusiness but you're not a Chinese company.
But if you're a Chinese company,even if it's like one percent, they

(32:52):
have every right to come in andtake your stuff, to look through it,
and you have an obligation to makesure that they know what's going on
because for the most part, you'redoing business as whatever, but you're a
part of the Communist party. AndChristopher Ray, the FBI director, wants
to point out to everybody, Look, this is a real problem. He

(33:14):
seems to be the only one that'snot asleep at the wheel. We're talking
about the ability to control or collectdata on millions and millions of users and
to use it for all sorts ofinfluence operations like driving their AI efforts,
which are not remotely constrained by therule of law. Are they doing that
now? That's simply they have thecapability to do that. What I would
say to you is that they arecurrently attempting to steal our ai and hack

(33:39):
American technology every day. Yeah wow, I mean we think about this.
We're imagine having a neighbor, rightwho you share a wall with. I
mean we don't, but I'm justthrowing this out there. I won't you
guys understand something? And all daythey're trying to break into your house.

(34:04):
They're trying to come over your wallinto your backyard. They're spying on you
in every way, shape or formright that they possibly can. They want
to know everything about you. Theygo, they go to your mailbox and
take out your mail. They openit up, they look at everything,
they reseal it, put it backin. They're doing all of those things.
They're grabbing your phone when you're notlooking. That is what China is

(34:28):
doing every opportunity they get. Whatdo you say to the millions of Americans
who have likely heard what you andothers had to say, but they've rejected
it. They don't care. Theylike TikTok, they like making money on
TikTok. What would your message beto them? My message is you need
to take into account who the Chinesegovernment is, who the Chinese Communist Party

(34:49):
is even if for some reason youdon't care about that, which I would
argue you should. What about allof your friends, family members, classmates,
coworkers, neighbors, etc. Whoare also participating and are connected to
you through all those same things.Maybe they would care about the ability of
the Chinese government and the Chinese intelligenceservices to access all that. Sorry,
man, steph Ears, they don'tcare. They don't care. They've opted

(35:15):
in to my numbing hours of silliness. They don't care. They do not
care at all. Okay, Imean, look in college campuses. Do
you think that those people who areusing TikTok to spread this insanity about Palestine

(35:35):
and all of this stuff, doyou think for a second those people care
about the Chinese Communist Party getting theirdata. No, chances are they're fine
with it. A lot of peopleare because they're not thinking about the ramifications.
It is instant gratifications of something thatmakes you go, oh, that
was funny, Oh that's neat,Ooh. I like the dancing three two,

(35:58):
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Show. It is yourTwitter, your Instagram. If you miss
any of the show, shame grabthe podcast please do. You can get
it where podcasts are available, goodand bad podcast that's up for to make
what mine is. I think it'spretty much okay. I think it's a
good podcast. Chad Benson, Joe, this is the Chad Benson Show,

(36:44):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. Thisis Chad Benson. We'll get to the
Trump trial and a bit doom don'talso Scotus and a very interesting story about
what the head of essentially the FBIin Mexico said about the production of fentanyl

(37:05):
and what happens in Mexico that goescompletely against the President of Mexico. We'll
talk about that, but first fourand eight. It's finally there. After
more than six months of hard work, many twists and turns in the road,
America sends a message to the entireworld, we will not turn our
back on you. Nope, we'renot doing it. Ninety five billion dollars

(37:30):
an old chuck there, an oldmerch getting together celebrating their win. By
the way, depending on who youtalk to, the big winner, big
loser Mike Johnson, because he's theone that got these things through the house.
He's the one that said, youknow, I'll stick my neck out
because I think it's the right thingto do. This is an extremely important
day in the history of our country, end of the free world. They're

(37:54):
all watching waiting to see what wewould do, and what we did was
spend a lot of money. Now, I want to remind everybody a vast
majority of this ninety five billion dollars, let's just say eighty five billion goes
to stuff militarily Israel, Taiwan,and Ukraine. I have to remind everybody

(38:15):
this. We're not handing them cashand then they can go to any vendor
they want. No. What we'resaying is, hey, we've got your
credit card. We've been entrusted asthe signee on your credit card. You
tell us what you want, andthen we will deduct it from your little

(38:36):
debit card here. And that's theway that that will go. Most of
that money, if not all ofit, is staying right here in the
United States of America. And thenyou've got ten billion dollars going to FOURGN
eight. Again. I joked earlierthat we're going to send Israel bombs and
we're gonna send people in Gaza andPalestine pop tarts. But that's kind of
what we're doing. None of usis absolved of our duty to see the
world as it actually is. Noneof us is this excuse from our obligation

(39:01):
to equip the United States to facedown those who wish us harm. True.
True, and we need to seeit for what it is. It's
a dangerous place, you know that. And I know that our enemies have
tested whether the arsenal of democracy isin fact built to endure. Well.
Tonight, the Senate will sound aclear message, and that messages yes,

(39:25):
at least for now, it's builtto endure. As we all know,
democracies have trouble later on when peoplerealize, oh my god, I can
vote myself free stuff. Wow,that's crazy. Speaking of crazy terrorism,
big deal. Obviously, as wetalk about what's going on Ukraine, we
talk about what's happening in Israel andPalestine and Hamas and the battle that goes
there, not to mention Taiwan anda bunch of other things, and we

(39:47):
have a wide open border. FBIDirector christopherra Out talking about it. It's
not just about TikTok. Have youever seen a threat environment quite length the
one we're experiencing. As I lookback over my career in law, enforcement.
I'm hard pressed to come up witha time where I've seen so many
different threats all elevated, all atthe same time. Whether it's the threats

(40:08):
from China, Rushia, Iran,the terrorism threats, both foreign terrorist threats
and domestic terrorist threats. There's alot of stuff out there, a lot
of threats going on. We've beentalking about ABE for the last couple of
weeks. Okay, abortion, we'llget to that in a second. Border
which I think this and Christophray's beenvery open about the fact that the border

(40:29):
is a nightmare and that no matterwhat they do, there's only so much
they can do. And there isno doubt that there are people here that
want to do America harm, notjust American interest in foreign countries, but
here. What are you talking aboutit? And I know what it was
gonna say, it's all about domesticterror. No it's not. And the
moment that there is an attack,what do we all do. We all

(40:52):
run to find out what's their politicalaffiliation? And if we found out that
it was somebody who snuck across theborder or just walked across quite frankly,
not eve and sneaking. At thispoint in time, that maybe we even
had in some sort of custody,but we had to cut them loose,
and in doing so, they joinedup with other people that we're already here,
planned an attack and then perpetrated thatattack on American soil. And it

(41:14):
points back to the border. That'sone of those things where border becomes the
most important things out of abortion,border and economy. But there are threats
here, there is no doubt aboutit, and we need to be well
wary of it. There's an environmentright now we're seeing play out on some
college campuses, the protests over what'shappening in Gaza. Are you watching that
arily well. Of course, demonstrationsthemselves are not something that we the FBI,

(41:38):
get involved in. But when thisis pro violence ensues, and so
we have seen even before October seventh, we saw a significant increase, especially
in anti Semitic threats and anti Semiticviolence. Are you actively monitoring these protests.
We don't monitor protests, so wedo share intelligence about specific threats of

(41:59):
violence. Yeah, there are peoplethere, there's no doubt that would love
to do harm to the United Statesof America, and not all of them
are foreign based and snuck across someof them here. Even we were talking
earlier about what's going on in Columbia. There are a bunch of agitators on
that campus that do not go tothat school, but are there to stir

(42:22):
the pot. And would they beeasy to get to and to get them
to do something stupid? All thingsthat we need to pay attention to.
I don't care if it's some whiteright wing militia group or some lunacy on
college campuses. We need to payattention to it. And let's not forget

(42:45):
I believe Columbia that's where the weatherUnderground was, you know, Alinsky and
all the boys and girls out therebombing stuff. So let's not forget that.
Yeah, it could happen, andwe need to pay attention to it.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter, tweet at US text the program.

(43:07):
Love hearing from all of you.Trump. It was August twenty fifteen when
former National Inquirer publisher David Pecker saidhe was summoned to Trump Tower. Donald
Trump had announced his candidacy, andPecker testified Trump and Michael Cohen asked me,
what can I do? And whatmy magazines could do to help the
campaign. Pecker said the three menhatched a confidential agreement the National Inquirer would

(43:27):
publish positive stories about Trump and negativestories about his opponents. He said,
Cohen would send me information about TedCruz or Ben Carson or Marco Rubio,
and that was the basis for ourstory, and we would embellish. Yeah,
the embellishment side is not good.The embellishment side is not good at
all. I don't know what kindof negative story you're going to get about
Ben Carson, like we looked,We just he's just a nice guy.

(43:49):
That's his downfall. Ted curuse thatyou remember Ted Curs. Then they have
Ted Cruz's dad killing Kennedy just nutty, just crazy. Still shouldn't be taking
place, this trial, No wayshould this thing be taking place, zero
reasons. And last hour we talkedabout it. They even killed a story

(44:12):
that wasn't true that cost them thirtygrand because somebody was going to well sell
a story that Trump had gotten amade pregnant that wasn't true, so they
paid to have it go away eventhough it wasn't true, because it could
get out and hurt him. Ooh, politics is dirty. He lays the
foundation for the key to the prosecution'scase, which is that the falsification of

(44:35):
the business records was about something else, and the something else was to protect
him in the twenty sixteen campaign.Okay, all right, so now do
do all politicians do something to tryto protect themselves and the potential of the
what if? I'm just curious aboutthat Packer making the point Packer that he

(44:55):
had never done one of these catchand killed deals before the twenty fifteen point,
when Michael Cohene and Donald Trump aremeeting with him and talking about how
to deal with potentially negative stories.Okay, negative stories, you're gonna be
out there. We get that catchand kill means you pay for something that
may or may not be true andyou just don't run it. He apparently

(45:17):
said to David Pecker, I don'tbuy stories, and so that is something
that certainly the defense is going tofocus on to stay Wait a second,
didn't you say that Donald Trump doesn'tbuy stories? Well, that's a big
deal because if you're buying stories andhe's not, well, then it's hard
to justify that this was spent insuch a way, Which is the whole

(45:38):
big deal about this, how wasthe spent? What were you doing this
for? And remember who the otherperson is. It's mister Cohen, who
has already been in trouble on morethan a few occasions. So still going
on, and here we go.I still think that Trump wants to be
put in jail because I think Trumpwants to go out there and say,
look at what they've done to me. Three two three five eight three at

(47:07):
listening to the Chad Benson Show.So you know what I don't understand.
This is why I don't understand.See this, See this. This is
worth fifty dollars. This is worthfive dollars. This is the same thing.
We made up these arbitrary numbers,and then we said we can't print
more or else it'll be worthless.How about just don't let it be worthless.

(47:30):
How about just don't tell anybody,or just like, don't let it
happen. We literally made this up. This is a construct we made up.
Just don't let it inflate. Ohmy god, everything's a construct.
Just don't let it inflate. Thisis that simple, Hey, fed chair,
just don't let it inflate, saysthat arbitrary things these, these,

(47:50):
these figures, these these drawings arearbitrary. Just don't let it inflate.
This is what our new fed chairis going to be in the future.
Like, no way, inflation isstupid again Fleet, but I don't like,
just don't let it, you letthis happen. How about you just
let everything else happen. Do Whyare you just lets of non inflate,

(48:13):
like just deflat it? Just totallydeflating, man, I don't She probably
went to Columbia. They canceled allthe classes at Columbia. I just want
to point that out. Now youhave to do it online. Parents are
like, you know what, Ithink I'd like a refund. I wanted
my kids to learn you wanted mymoney? And what do they have a

(48:37):
bunch of people in the quad settingup tents to chant slogans about killing Jews.
Nutty in my god, just totallydeflating. I'm so nice. Is
the American dream dead? Is it? Or is it still alive? A
new bank rate survey finding three andfour Americans still consider owning a home to

(49:00):
be part of the American dream morethan retiring a successful career or having kids.
Get The thing holding them back money. Fifty six percent of people say
they don't make enough, and fortyseven percent say prices are too high.
Bank Rate CFA Greg McBride says plentyof Americans are willing to find affordable homes.
Top seven and ten Americans say they'dbe willing to do something, most

(49:21):
commonly downsizing the problem is, Hesays the high prices means less space might
not proportionally mean less cost. MarkRamilard, ABC News. So really,
so seven and ten say, yeah, absolutely, I love to own a
home. You know what's holding meback? Uh, cost and money.
That's like say to somebody, I'dlove to play in the NBA. You

(49:44):
know it's holding me back height,talent, and skill. Well, what
are you gonna do? I don'tknow what you're gonna do. There's no
doubt that it's ugly out there rightnow. And we've talked about that consumer
confidence is low, low, lowlow. It's not We're not in a

(50:04):
good place. People are frustrated,and we go back to the the two
economies that are out there, andeverybody said, well, what do you
mean two econ odes to haves andthe have nots. Well, that's always
going to be there, good times, bad times. You're always going to
have that. Talking about the differencebetween the consumer based economy and then the

(50:28):
worker slash employer employee base. Youfeel pretty good in your job, things
seem to be going okay, you'renot worried about it. But then when
you take off that hat and becomethe consumer, well, things just don't
feel great. Consumer sentiment hit arecord low last month, as new polling
shows forty two percent of Americans arestruggling to remain where they are financially,

(50:50):
nearly double from a year ago,and eighty five percent think the economy is
getting worse, especially after COVID.Nobody has money for anything and now everything
up higher and higher. Yeah,that's an issue. That is a big
issue. When you look at thecost of just everyday items and what we
said, it compounds a compound interest. So if something costs three percent more,

(51:15):
and this costs ten percent more,and this costs four percent more,
it starts adding up. And that'swhy people are living this weird paycheck to
paycheck almost then credit cards. It'sforcing families to make brutal decisions that's like
what do you want to eat oryou want to have to drive? Some
foregoing bills or medications, many othersturning to assistance programs like food banks.

(51:37):
You have seen skyrocketing numbers of peopleneeding food and unfortunately we're not getting the
same level in donations that we usedto. Gasoline up sixty percent in a
year and groceries up twelve percent.It's working, Oh, it's it's not
working. This will be the numberone issue going forward outside again abortion,

(52:02):
big issue. We've talked about itlast hour. We're probably talk about again
later on the show. Scotus ishearing another case. Yes, in a
few states, it's not going tobe on every ballot, but it's going
to be an issue. Immigration orthe border going to be an issue for
sure, especially if there's a terrorattack and you know, all bets are

(52:24):
off again that's that Black Swan event. But inflation and you go look at
the numbers when it comes to Trumpand Biden and it's hard to argue it
is. But there's chaos around Trump. We know that, we're seeing it.

(52:45):
And it's not just Trump. Trumpbrings chaos with him in some ways.
But with that being said, themedia brings their chaos and you put
it together and you boom. Youhave a nuclear bomb of insanity. But
more people I talk to like,I'll take a mean tweet or two.
I really don't care what he says. I just want gas to be cheaper

(53:07):
and to be able to afford actualbacon ice hikes are straining. Karen Martin,
a nine to one one operator nearTampa, Florida, and a single
mom raising two sons while making lessthan twenty bucks an hour. I get
paid tomorrow and already my whole paycheckis spoken for. And it's the first
time in my life I've had toapply for foodstamps because I don't know how
we're going to continue eating groceries.That's a lot of people out there.

(53:30):
They're voters, and they'll hold theirnose when it comes to how they may
feel about Trump and the cost ofliving. Says I'll take a mean tweet
and I'll take some crazy fighting inthe White House and whatever. If you

(53:52):
can get prices down, that's theirtrade off in their mind. Three two,
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three at
Chadmnton Show, Twitter got some wokestuff coming up, more on what's going
on in the magical trials and tribulationsof Donald Trump as well. It is
the Chad Benson Show, The ChadBenson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(54:37):
This is Chad Benson. It isthat time of the week, Wednesday,
when we actually get woke. Andthis time it has nothing to do
with Columbia University any other insane universityprotesting. The support group is for people
who are so woke they're finding itimpossible to have any fun at all.
It's that time of the week wherewe break it down for you and get

(55:00):
you woke. It's all right,I'll do that way too. It's all
right. Let it out, like, can we actually agree that women get
pregnant and not men? Oh dad, you white women raise the white boys
who grew up to be little misogynistic, patriarchal tarlets. I am Kamela,

(55:20):
here, my client, underste ofher. I'm a woman sitting at the
table wearing a blue seat. It'stime for woke Wednesday. Woke Wednesday.
Where do we start? How aboutsome fun stuff from Pillmark. Maybe it's
time to admit that sometimes drag Queen'sStory Hour is more for the queen than
the kids. Sure kids love aclown, but does the clown have to

(55:45):
have? And when I see afive year old tipping tipping at a bar
under a sign that maybe it's timeto admit that sometimes Drag Queen's Story Hour
is more for the queen than thekids. Sure kids love a clown,
but does the clown have to have? And when I see a five year
old tipping tipping at a bar undera sign that says it's not going to

(56:07):
lick itself? Do I have topretend that's cool in order to keep my
Liberal ID card? Sorry, Ican't do that. If you want kids
to be more tolerant, why nothave handicapped people read them stories. Kids
are more likely to encounter disabled peoplethan drag queens in life. Maybe it's
time to admit that sometimes Drag Queen'sStory Hour is more for the queen than

(56:30):
the kids. Yeah, you neverhear Drag Queen's Story Hour at old folks
home right, a retirement community.You never have that. No, you
don't for the kids because it's indoctrination, No doubt about that. Indoctrination,
entrapment, suggesting someone into something theywouldn't otherwise do. And if you

(56:52):
think that some of that isn't goingon with genderin schools, you're not watching
enough TikTok videos. I to thequeers, I'm not allowed to be out
as trans binary at school. That'smy response to this is to be as
obnoxiously queer as possibles. There's acertain kind of activist these days who wants

(57:14):
to take heterosexuality, old school,old fashioned, boring, minding its own
business heterosexuality and lump it in withpatriarchy and sexism and racism and tell kids,
wouldn't it be cool if you wereanything but that? Yeah, insight,
we know that, continue, sir. It also seems to be the

(57:36):
theme of kind of a lot ofkids' books these days. I never used
the phrase gay agenda because I thoughtit was mostly nonsense, and it is
mostly But a director for Disney TelevisionAnimation did say after she was hired,
the showrunners were super welcoming to likemy like not at all secret gay agenda.
Like I was just wherever I could, just basically adding. No one

(58:00):
would stop me, and no onewas trying to stop me. Look,
I'm all for adding queerness wherever Iput some in my drink before I came
out here. But maybe we shouldthink about giving kids a break from our
culture wars for a minute, orat least until the election is over.
Yeah, Like, weree one hundredand ten percent insanity getting kids into this

(58:22):
this? And I've seen it.I've seen it with my eldest daughter.
The pushing, the activism, thethe that when it all cost and it
doesn't matter who you leave in yourwake. Bs with this in particular,
this transgender movement and the thought processof experimenting on children is nuts. Sorry,

(58:45):
I just and it's it's not healthyto cut things off that are fine,
not healthy to tell kids that doyou see? There was a guy
in Canada And now I want youto soak this up for a second.
And I have talked about this fora long time. This in particular,

(59:07):
are you ready for this? Itis a it's a well, like everything,
it's been classified as something, andthe something is bid body integrity identity
disorder. A twenty year old unnamedman in Canada had not one, but
two of his fingers removed because heinsist that he had intrusive thoughts about the

(59:31):
fourth and fifth fingers on his lefthand, so they amputated him to cure
his body dysmorphia. Are you blankingkidding me? Just soak that up for
a second. And there was aand I think it was on HBO people

(59:53):
who had this, And here inAmerica this was pre insanity. No doctor
and so far I don't think anydoctor has. Maybe they have, and
I just don't know done this wherethey're just gonna lop your fingers off because
you insist that they're mean or whatever. I don't know, whatever this thought.
But these people would go to sucha like, they would bend over

(01:00:21):
backwards, they would go to sucha distance, if you will, to
try to get themselves into a situationwhere the doctor and no choice, but
they amputate, including packing their legsin dry ice, because they believed that
they were double amputees. That's nota mental illness. You need better activists

(01:00:42):
speaking of something I think is insane. How about eco activism and eco anxiety.
Eco anxiety is an environmental justice issuethat disproportionately impacts black youth. According
to the American Psychological Association, ecoanxieties define as a chronic fear of environmental
doom and that may include feelings ofworry, guilt, shame, despair,

(01:01:04):
and even hope. And we fullyunderstand the relationship between social determinants and mental
health and climate change. You beginto understand that the nature of a person's
eco anxiety is also informed by systemicfactors that exacerbate the ways that it's felt
and addressed. Sweet Mother of God, systemic racism in climate This is where

(01:01:24):
how do do you wonder? Howlike, how did you arrive at this?
When you went to school, youbecame overly educated and pushed by groups
of people that have an agenda,and their agenda essentially to say that everything
is in doctrination, everything is eviland bad every so anything out there showing
up in time, that's indoctrination ofthe white man trying to get you to

(01:01:45):
show up on time. Two plustwo is for again patriarchy in doctrination.
The air is smoggy, Well that'sbecause white people. By the way,
and you know, as you're talkingabout the eco anxiety and how it disproportionately
hurts blacks, let you guys ina little something. White people have special
lungs that we don't have to breathethat way. No, that's not true.

(01:02:05):
Oh, it's not my God,continue not drop. Communities of color,
and particularly black ones, are morevulnerable than white ones to sea level
rise, wildfire, and heat waveslinked to climate change. Black youth are
more likely to reside in hotter regionsthat trap and radiate heat, have the
highest asthma rates in the country,and are increasingly more likely to experience mental

(01:02:25):
health illness. When we couple contributingfactors to mental health like poverty rates and
white supremacy, with generally worse exposureto environmental hazards and the climate crisis,
we begin to understand how a racializeddifference in eco anxiety can emerge. Are
you reading that off a pamphlet?And by the way, rising sea levels

(01:02:47):
feels to me like you live onthe beach. That's pretty good. You
don't hear Barber streisand saying, youknow, climate Tate's is destroying the world.
We need to just give up ourjeet mansion on the ocean for nothing.
No people will find racism and anythingthey will. You guys are still
thinking about that Canadian guy that hisfinger's left off. Right. If you

(01:03:12):
went to your doctor today and said, I just don't think I got a
right arm and it's just been buggingme the whole time. Silly, right
arm? What do you think yourdoctor would say if you're asking him to
lop it off? And then doctorin Canada is like, oh yeah,
okay, hey, I'll do thatfor you. Sure, Sure, I'll
take your arm off. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:05:13):
Welcome to Cheshe No, not thecountry, the institution, The Chad Benson
Show. Pop one New Guinea PrimeMinister James Mrape says his nation does not
deserve to be labeled cannibals and toask the United States to clear up the
remnants of World War To littered acrossthe Pacific. This comes after US President

(01:05:34):
Joe Biden's comments regarding his missing servicemanuncle. Biden said last week that is
uncle Ambrose Finnegan was shot down overthe Pacific nation during World War Two,
suggesting his body was never found asthere were a lot of canibals in the
area. Oh my god, we'regonna have to fight Papa New Guinea.

(01:05:56):
Now see what you've did, Joe. See what you did, did,
President Biden. Papua New Guinea isnow mad at us because you said that
your uncle was eating he got shutdown in New Guinea. They never found
the body because we used to bethere are a lot of cannibals, for
real in that part in New Guinea. Responding to Biden's comments, Marape's office

(01:06:20):
issued as statement saying and die quotePresident Biden's remarks may have been a slip
of the tongue, however, mycountry does not deserve to be labeled as
such. The eighty one year oldpresident's comments are another one of his goths.
Biden's anecdote of his uncle's death andas possible, cannibalization has some loopholes,

(01:06:43):
has some loopholes. First of all, here's the biggest one. It
didn't happen. Here's the biggest loopholeof all. Even the military said,
no, he crashed into the oceanand we never found him. He didn't
land on an island. And itwas descended upon by a bunch of people,
right that we would think of backin the day of cannibals, right

(01:07:03):
and spears, And they're wearing loinclothlike things, and they take him and
they've got the you know him ona steak and they walk him over and
put them and it didn't happen.You idiot. Sorry, I shouldn't call
the president. I'm going to callyou this this because now you've started a
fight with papno giddy. According toDefense bowm I accounting agency, I'm rose

(01:07:25):
Finn against Plaine in nineteen forty four, heading to the country was forced to
ditch in the ocean. White HousePress Secretary Krine Jean Pierre also confirmed this
information and again try to cover ourPresident Biden's goofa by claiming that it was
an incredibly emotional and important moment forthe president to honor his uncle at the

(01:07:46):
memorial. Okay, look, it'sincredibly important that I lie about your country
and how my uncle died. Soif you guys could just go along with
it, just this one time,it's all I'm asking, and say,
yes, your people ate him.This will be awesome. It's good.
It's a good thing, right,just one time. I'm not gonna I'm

(01:08:08):
not gonna tell you guys to getand if you don't know anything about his
his his family stories change on adaily basis about his uncle. Right,
and his uncle was like, eh, you know, he joined the military
and now was like he was inthird grade, he left school, he
joined the military. By the time, you know, he was a pilot.
Immediately he shot down you know,zero's over the Pacific, fought the

(01:08:29):
Loufaffa, and then had to ditchin the ocean again, where he swammed
ashore and was consumed by Papua Newgideons three two, three, five,
three, eight, twenty four,twenty three at she had menton show,
it's sure Twitter, it should bein a book, but not a book.
In Minnesota, after conservative groups soughtto ban books dealing with sexuality,
gender, and race, in Bloomington, Minnesota, a not straight eighteen year

(01:08:51):
old Shay Ross and friends organized andhelped persuade their school board to make it
much harder to do so. Minnesotais one of several Democratic leading states pursuing
bands on book bands. Washington andMaryland passed them this year Illinois last year.
Over four thousand books were targeted lastyear, says the American Library Association,
a big increase from the year before. So let's just go over the

(01:09:15):
difference between banning and not available atschool. Are adult movies available at school?
No? Are they banned? Thatmakes it seem like they're banned for
life. Nobody can find them,can't do it, no age appropriate.

(01:09:40):
And I get it. There arepeople out there going, you know,
Chad, you should, you shouldjust let him have anything. I'm not
one of those people. I'm not. I am not one of those people
that lets our kids watch anything.Now. I do let my kids probably
watch you know, like like thirteen, right, thirteen, fourteen, a

(01:10:01):
little bit older. You know,maybe if there's a movie where there's a
monster or something like that. Yeah, okay, but I'm not watching letting
watch sex stuff. It's just notI'm not letting him watch stuff like that,
But it doesn't mean it's banned.And if you want your kid to
read something you think it's vitally importantthat they learn about, you know,

(01:10:25):
rape, and that you learn aboutsex and all kinds of stuff, then
that should be something for you.Do I think that they should have access
to it? If I can't readit on the air without the fear of
being fired, why should a nineyear old read it? While we're talking
about this, every book is bannedfor a child that doesn't know how to

(01:10:51):
read, well, then what dothey care a kid does not read?
You can give them anything right,Well, that doesn't make sense. That's
one of the activists there while we'retalking about this. How about teaching them

(01:11:11):
to read first and then worrying aboutsome of the other stuff second. For
me and a lot of other people, especially when I was in like sixth
seventh grade, i'd say reading books, especially books with gay characters, was
sort of It was a way thatI could feel seen and represented it.
Okay, great, it's fine.Doesn't mean it's banned. Banned from the

(01:11:34):
school library. And learning about agay character or racism or any of those
things is I got zero problems withthat. It's the stuff that goes well
beyond what you and I both knowshould be in front of a child.

(01:11:55):
Not about banning quote unquote the books. It's about age appropriate, time appropriate.
When should a child see this?Like I said, if I can't
read it on the air without thefear of being fired, I don't think
a nine year old should have accessto it either. Three two, three,
five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
It's your Twitter, your Instagram.Got a great interview coming up next

(01:12:18):
hour about the next gen Marxism takingplace on campuses. Yeah, the author
Katie Gourk is gonna join us talkabout the new book that herner co author
have out about next gen Marxism.What is it? How do you combat
it? It's very interesting. I'mexcited to hear from her. Will do
that straight ahead next hour. Plusget a lot of other stuff coming up,

(01:12:41):
more on Trump. I don't knowif you guys areware this standing trial
for something that is ridiculous. Talkmore about that as well. Chad Benson
Show. This is the Chad BensonShow, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(01:13:21):
This is Chad Benson. The USChamber of Commerce says the ban on non
compete agreements is an unlawful power grapbut the Federal Trade Commission says that banning
workers from joining a rival company fora certain period of time or in a
certain geographical area keeps wages low androbs the economy of new ideas. The
new rule bans new non compete agreementsfor all workers. Existing agreements would be

(01:13:45):
allowed to stay in place only forsenior executives who make more than one hundred
and fifty one thousand dollars a year. So very interesting. So the FTC
came out today and said, nopgone, So nod compete if you don't
know what this legal contract of preventsan employee from competing within employer after their
employment ends. Meaning if you fireme today or you let's say you fired

(01:14:09):
me yesterday, I have Company A, and you made me sign a non
compete to even work there, Ican't work, you know, either at
this field of business or whatever itis that I'm stuck for. And in
radio it's a big deal because inradio you get a lot of these things

(01:14:30):
where you have non competes that youcan't work in the market. If you're
you know, X Y and Z, and I've always thought they were a
little bit bs because if you're payingout a contract, I could see it.
So let's say you sign a contractwith somebody for X amount of dollars
and you know it's a three yeardeal, and halfway through it, you
let that person go okay, andit's just it's budget cuts or it's something

(01:14:54):
like that, and then you tellthem, well, we're not going to
pay you out your contract. Well, then I should be able to go
to work where I want to work. Know you've signed it no compete.
Well yeah, but you didn't honoryour contract. So it's these things have
been a nightmare to deal with.Now, if you're paying out somebody in
their contract, well then if yougo somewhere else, a lot of times

(01:15:15):
you're not gonna get paid out thatcontract. If you go and earn money
somewhere else, then you're supposed tolook for a job. And for this,
if you work at Widget Factory Aand they make you sign a non
compete and Widget Factory B, youeither quit or get like, oh,
the whole thing is you shouldn't beable to go across the street and get
a job over there. Now,why they go after the C level suite

(01:15:39):
people I totally get because they havemore secrets. It's a difference between being
a cog and the wheel and theperson who designs the wheel, who could
go across the street and get luredin to give up certain things. But
we'll see again. Legal challenges.Like always, speaking of legal challenges,
let's talk abortion. At the centerof the case is Idaho. The state

(01:16:00):
ban's abortions in nearly all cases.It does include a narrow exception to save
the life of the mother, Butthe Justice Department is arguing that even in
states where abortion is ban under federalhealthcare law, hospitals are still required to
terminate pregnancies if the patient's life orhealth is at serious risk. Yeah,
so they're going to listen to acase brought from Idaho, and they're looking

(01:16:28):
at it in a way where it'slike the defense side of if you will
pro life people are saying, Wow, you guys are taking a law that
was pre Roe v. Wade,pre Dobb's decision, and now you're trying
to massage it into this. Andthat law is what they call Emergency Medical
Treatment and Labor Act. So amother could go to an emergency room or

(01:16:53):
perspective mother or person who's pregnant,and could the doctor then say, you
say you want to terminate your pregnancy, and the doctors say, well,
we're not supposed to do that,but I could always say that you are
blah blah blah blah blah. Imean, that's the way that they're coming
at this situation. Here. TheJustice Department is pointing to a law from

(01:17:13):
decades ago, before ROVERSUS way wasoverturned, that was originally created to ensure
that patients who do not have insurancearen't turned away from hospitals. Anti abortion
rights advocates argue that the Biden administrationis misusing this law to try to justify
abortions. On the other side ofthis, though, we have talked to
doctors and patients who have told usthey are caught in a web of what
they call confusing laws. And that'sthe big thing. I mean, we've

(01:17:36):
talked about it it being settled,and that was the whole thing. You
know, Roe never settled anything.Well, the Dobbs decision hasn't settled anything.
The states haven't settled and part ofthat is because it's fresh and new,
and there's lawsuits and people are tryingto get it on the ballot,
and we can go on and onand on about it, but this is
you know, and like anything whenit comes to these laws, look at

(01:17:59):
the what's going on when Biden triesto forgive debt for anything doesn't matter,
right, like let's just say,well, just take student loan. He's
looking at, well, this lawsaid here, the Patriot Act, or
you know, any of these thingsthat they could try to massage what they
want into something that's already there,because they know they're not going to get

(01:18:20):
something that's already there passed. WhenRoe went away, states had essentially free
reign to restrict or even to prohibitabortion in the way that Idaho has done.
But there are other bodies of lawthat remain intact, and a federal
law here does conflict with Idaho's lawand other states laws. But beyond this
particular case, this is a reminderthat when Dobbs said the abortion question is

(01:18:44):
going to be left to the states. Each state can decide for themselves what
to do about abortion, that wasnever really a settlement that was going to
hold no, because there's gonna betons of lawsuits, and that's what you're
going to have and you've got doctorswho are confused, doctors are afraid to
do stuff. You've got das andages saying they're not going to pross.
But people are still scared because theydon't know exactly what's gonna happen. And
do I have to go like ifI say, look this woman in a

(01:19:08):
snapshot moment, let's just say sheis potentially going to die, we have
to make a serious choice. Isthere a three panel judge? Which is
the way they're gonna make out thateverything is like this that I have to
go to who have no medical experiencewhatsoever. Who are gonna give me the
thumbs upper thumbs down to Perford,this uh to do this procedure, and

(01:19:29):
that's the way they're going to paintit. You're gonna hear a lot of
ads like this. We're almost sir, you're gonna make it. Trump Republicans
want to criminalize young Alabama women whotravel for reproductive care mass. I'm gonna
need you to step out of thevehicle, take a pregnancy test. Stop
them by taking action at right tootraveldot org. Campaign for Democracy Group is

(01:19:51):
responsible for the content of this advertising. It's my favorite Mayas and Aigenus step
out, Fimkarr and take your hifof pregnancy test. It's a cop pulling
them over. He's going to thosepregnancy testing his hands. Yeah, I
need you do it right now,right there in front of me. He's
going to go across to state anddon't kill your baby. Think, Okay,

(01:20:12):
here we go. Oh, it'sgoing to be on the ballots and
a lot of places. I'm justletting you guys know that it's not going
away anytime soon. Settled never,partially because nobody wants it settled. The
pro life people don't want fifteen weeks. We know that the pro choice people
a vast majority of them, andI'm just talking about the everyday voter are

(01:20:35):
that's their sweet spot. We've talkedabout it over and over again. But
the activists don't want it settled forseveral reasons. One of them is,
like everything else, if a problemgoes away, then there's nobody that you
have to hire to find a solution, because they're not interested in a solution.
The fight is what they're interested in. Three two, three, five,

(01:20:55):
three eight, twenty four to twentythree at Chad ben to show to
Twitter your Instagram come up. Atthe bottom of the hour, we're going
to talk to Katie Gorka next GenMarxism. She's co author of a new
book, What Is It? HowTo Fight It? And with what's going
on at college campuses and the lunacyout there, and there's plenty of it
and we're hearing about it. Eventhe White House is having to step up

(01:21:17):
and say, come on, guys, when we witness calls for violence,
physical intimidation, hateful anti Semitic rhetoric, those are unacceptable. We will denounce
them. The President knows that silenceis complicity, and that's why he uses
the platforms he has to try andensure that our fellow Americans are safe.

(01:21:40):
Yes, silence is violence. Denouncethe hell out of the stuff. And
it's happening on Yale campus, Berkeley. There's always I've been to Berkeley a
few times. It doesn't you cango on a Tuesday with nothing happening.
Somebody is protesting something somewhere. Butwhat's going on in colle Umbia. The

(01:22:00):
talk of bringing the National Guard into protect Jewish students. They've canceled.
They have canceled. I'm gonna pointthis out again classes for the rest of
the year. You can do themonline. Parents are pissed. You've got
outside agitators and college kids. It'sit's an ugly situation. And you could
say that you're pro people and humanityand what's going on and refugees and whatnot

(01:22:25):
in Palestine, but the reality is, while the violence insomuch there, the
threat of it is very real,is very real. So if kids are
uncomfortable because somebody misgenders them or usedto the wrong pronouns, how do you
think they feel if they're Jewish andthey're screaming, We're gonna blow up Israel
and we're gonna kill all the Jews. Probably uncomfortable. Three two, three,

(01:27:15):
She said she was trying to getsomething from a family member who has
Alzheimer's or something. I'm not quitesure how this will play itself out,
uh, but we shall see.Tesla stocks FTC non compete. New FTC
rules banned non compete agreements in allemployment, which is very interesting. So

(01:27:40):
I don't know how they're going toenforce this. Not enforce this. So
under a new Federal Trade Commission rule, for profit employers are prohibited from entering
into new non compete agreements with allemployees, including senior executives. So usually
when you sign a non compete,right, so meant you can't go across
the street, and so you couldyou know people, because my thing is,

(01:28:06):
well, why not just hire abunch of people, send him over
there, you know, and thenyou know, have them he say,
hey, go cross the street,get a job there. Da da da
come across and say, hey,I know a lot about this company and
a lot about this. My noncompeteis non enforceable, so I can come
over here and work. This willbe interesting to see how that plays itself

(01:28:26):

(01:29:10):
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three At Chad
Benson Show, it's your Twitter tweetat US text the program coming up,
We're to talk to Katie Gorka,she's got a new book out and herner
co author Mike Gonzales talking about thisinsanity going on in places like our campus.
This is called next gen Marxism.What is it and how do we

(01:29:30):
combat it? It's a very interestingbook. It's a good, good read.
I'm telling you guys right now whenwe talk about what is happening on
college campuses, what is going onin our world today, of this young
group of people who are embracing thiscrazy ideology of intersectionality and Marxism and communism.

(01:29:57):
It is scary. We're going totalk to her and find out what
the hell is happening? How dowe get here? Where should we be
looking for it? Is it happeningin the younger age groups now even faster
when it comes to things like sexualidentity, all this wacky gender studies.
Is this a part of it?Yeah? I think. I think I'm

(01:30:19):
telling you guys right now, thisbook is needed at a time like this.
Can we combat this stuff? Threetwo, three, five, three
eight, twenty four, twenty threeat Chad Benson Show as your Twitter next
Jen Marxism? What is it?And how do we combat it? The
author Katie Gorcas she's going to joinus straight ahead. It is the Chad
Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, This

(01:31:08):
is Chad Benson Chaos on campus.Like if you were going to go,
what's the best advertising we could getfor our book? This may be joining
us now. Co author Katie Gorka, who's got a new book out it's
called Next Gen Marxism. What itis and how to combat it. She's
also the new chair of the FairfaxGOP. Appreciate you joining the Chad Benson
Show today, and can I justsay, chaos on campus? Is this

(01:31:31):
like this book hits perfectly. Yeah, even more than you might think,
because you know, one of thethings we do is we tell the story
of how we've gotten to where weare today. And one of the really
key chapters is the fact that youhad radicals coming over here to our country
from Europe because their own revolutions failed. So the communist revolutions in Italy and

(01:31:55):
Germany around nineteen nineteen nineteen twenty,they failed, and the arc texts of
those revolutions eventually found their way tothe United States, and lo and behold
who gave them a home Columbia University. And you wonder why we are where
we are today. You know,we were talking earlier today on my show

(01:32:15):
that Eisenhower was the president of ColumbiaUniversity. One of the things that he
really was a proponent of was makingsure that people didn't forget about the Holocaust.
And then you see what's going onthere and you're like, wow,
this is like this is just surrealand insane. Wow, that's actually kind
of sad when you think about it. I just can't believe what's happening on

(01:32:39):
our universities. But you know,another story that Mike and I, my
co author and I came across anddoing the research for the book was the
reminder that McGeorge Bundy, who eventuallybecame head of the Ford Foundation, when
he was dean of students at HarvardUniversity. I think this was the year
nineteen fifteen nine, they actually invitedthe young revolutionary Fidel Castro, having just

(01:33:06):
overthrown the Cuban government, he wasinvited to Harvard to speak to students.
Of course, yes, and that'sthe insanity of what we tend to do.
The book is called Next Gen Marxism. What is it? And how
do we combat it? There's thatold saying Katie, and we're talking to
one of the co authors, KatieGorka joins the program that there is some

(01:33:28):
things that only are so stupid thatonly an intellectual would believe it. And
that is so much where this isrooted right European intellectuals, this intersectionality the
oppressor the oppressed, and then itspreads into places like universities, and schools
and young people TikTok and whatnot acrossthe globe. Yeah. Absolutely, you

(01:33:50):
know, in one of the reallyimportant turning points was exactly where this whole
revolutionary movement got put into the handsof the intellectual and the students. So,
you know, under the vision,the flawed vision of Karl Marx and
then of course the tyrannical vision ofLenin. For them, the revolution was

(01:34:10):
going to sit with the workers.But it really never happened. It didn't
happen in this country, it didn'thappen in Europe. So around the late
fifties, some of the revolutionaries gotthe idea, well, we can make
this revolution happen if we just putit in the hands of the students and
some of the intellectuals. And sureenough they have gone absolutely crazy with it.

(01:34:32):
And you know, our universities justmake no sense anymore. Why are
we spending why are we writing checksfor seventy thousand dollars a year to turn
our kids into little radicals. That'sa great question. You know. I
keep telling my kids, take acouple years off going to trade school,

(01:34:53):
find something where that's not insane.Not that education is great, you can
find your education a lot of places. But you know, if you're going
to go to school, make itfor a purpose, and you know,
great to have open minds. Iremember, you know, Knny, and
I'm sure you remember this. I'mfifty three. When I was a kid,
college was supposed to be this bastionof open mindedness and you would go

(01:35:13):
there and you came from a differentbackground. I came from a different background.
We're going to share ideas, We'regoing to share where we came from.
And it was just all we weregoing to start to shape ourselves.
Now it's the exact opposite. Youcome there and you get shaped not based
on your thoughts and what you learn, based on professors and even outside influences.
Yeah, you know, there wasa time, I would say,

(01:35:35):
when I was in college, whichwas late seventies, early eighties, and
even when I was in graduate schoolat the London School of Economics, you
know, you knew that you hadprofessors which were either on the left or
the right, but they kept theirpolitics out of the classroom. You know,
one of my professors at LSC wasa leading Marxist. You never ever

(01:35:58):
would have known that from the thingsthat he said. It just didn't seep
into the classroom. But you know, a fascinating thing happened in nineteen eighty
nine. Most of us were reallybelieved that was the year that Marxism socialism
collapsed, right, that it diedits final death, because you had the
fall of the Berlin Wall, youhad the opening of those countries to democracy.

(01:36:21):
But the New York Times published anarticle that year by their former Moscow
bureau chief, Felicity Barringer, andshe said, this is the year that
Marxists have found widespread acceptance on Americanuniversities. And you know, I think
it was true. And most ofus, who understood how threatening that would

(01:36:45):
be, we weren't paying attention.We simply missed it. We did talking
to one of the co authors,Katie Gorka, the new book Next Gen
Marxism, What it is and howto combat it? You know what I've
seen in this neo Marxism, nextGen Marxism, that you see as the
whole collectivism, the polepot world,you know, of insanity that he pushed

(01:37:08):
out there, all this role equalwe're going to live in these societies?
Where is that? You know,with that intersectionality, it is spread from
the worker and the you know,the working class and the class above them,
if you will, to the wecan take sexual identity, we can
take color of skin, we cantake anything right a fat acceptance, and

(01:37:30):
we can turn it into something thatwe can weaponize and make in many cases
a Marxist ideology. Yeah, that'sright. So there have been like these
transitions where you know, originally marxand then Lenin said, well, it's
the worker who's going to be therevolutionary. Then you had the whole shift
to the new Left in the latesixties where it was going to be students

(01:37:51):
and intellectuals, and I would saythat lasted up until about nineteen eighty nine.
And it was really that year whennot only did the New York Times
recognize that Marxism had gone kind ofmainstream on colleges, but the other momentous
thing that happened that year is youhad the conference. It was a small

(01:38:11):
conference, maybe thirty five people gathered, but that was the year that they
established critical race theory. And thatwas really the beginning of what Mike and
I call next gen Marxism, thatversion of Marxism that says, today the
revolution is going to be brought aboutby people because of their skin color,
their ethnic identity, or their sexualorientation. It's in us versus them world.

(01:38:38):
They want to overthrow us. Idon't know what they want to do
with us, like dispose of ussomehow, and they want to take over
the world. You know, we'retalking to Katie Gorkos, the book's next
gen Marxism. What is it andhow to combat it? That old critical
race theory. You know, Iwas saying earlier today race is playing a
part in this anti Semitism, Andsomebody said, well, how is that.

(01:38:59):
I said, It's simple. Isaid, if Israeli's look wise,
looked more like Palestinians, these kidswould have nothing to gripe, wine,
bitch and moan about. The realityis they see the Jewish community as just
another white group oppressing another group ofcolor. Yeah, and I think there's
this whole tendency to sort of lumpanybody that can succeed into the oppressor group.

(01:39:24):
I mean, let's face it,the Israelis have been just tremendously successful
in both establishing a thriving democracy,but also in business and being leaders of
tech, you know, all kindsof things. Because the other group that
I find is so interesting that they'vebeen lumped in with the quote oppressors are

(01:39:44):
the Asians. Yeah, so,you know, I'm sitting here in Fairfax
County, Virginia, and you know, we've had a terrible battle with Asians
being persecuted because they were doing toowell and too many of them were getting
into our elite high school, ThomasJefferson High School, so they change the
admission standards. It's it's nuts.I know it's the new form of Asians

(01:40:08):
or the new form of white supremacists. I've heard that a bunch of times,
and I shake my head. Goingforward, you look at this,
obviously we need to have some youknow, come to Jesus moments with these
kids who are going to get outthere in the real world. And that's
the scary thing. Many of thesekids are going to be working in places
that a lot of people are working. Many of them are going to be
working in big law firms, DC, other places across the country that are

(01:40:31):
influential. How do we combat it. That's the big question. And I
think a lot of people are wonderingthat. I think it's I truly believe
that the ideology is going to implodeon itself. Honestly, this is what
happens every time Marxism reaches a certainlevel of success. It is such an

(01:40:54):
unrealistic, unsustainable, unhappy ideology thatany time it reaches a sort of critical
mass, it just somehow it's likepopping a balloon and it just collapses on
itself. I don't think that weneed to look at this like, Okay,
how do we combat each of oneof these students coming out of school?

(01:41:15):
I just think the whole thing's goingto fall apart now. To be
fair, I think you do havea lot of people fighting it, and
I will say this, I don'tthink anybody's fighting it harder than parents with
kids in K through twelve. Theyhave really, in a lot of ways
been the front line of this becausethey see that their children are on the

(01:41:36):
front line, and they will nothave anything to do with that. I
think what's going to be really interestingis that if you take these parents who've
been fighting so hard to sort ofrestore sanity in K through twelve, what
are they going to do when itcomes time to send their kids to college.
I can't believe that they're just goingto roll over and send their kids

(01:41:56):
off to these indoctrination institutions, notfirst seventy five grand a year. What
do you see as a bigger threat? Is it the you know, the
K through twelve with their you know, whether it's the feelings version of of
you know, uh, you know, gender and race and the way they
look at it, whether it isjust a straight you know, racial ideology,

(01:42:17):
uh, and the pushing of stuff. Is it? Is it a
bigger issue in the lower levels ofschool rather than college. Oh, that's
a good question. I mean whatI think what troubles me so much about
what they're doing in K through twelve. I mean, there is just such
crazy brainwashing going on in K throughtwelve, And I think what's particularly scary

(01:42:42):
about that is, for example,the way it's sending I think for girls
especially, it's it's really making amess of things. You know, we
just had the Biden administration just issuedtheir new Title nine regulations, you know,
twelve hundred page worth, where they'veessentially, you know, kind of
negated all the gains that were madefor girls through Title nine. Right,

(01:43:09):
so now transgender men have the samerights, which is going to be really
destructive. But it's what's going onin K through twelve. That's causing so
many girls especially to have to reallyquestion their identity as female and to say
they don't like it and that theywant to be male. I think this

(01:43:30):
is deeply, deeply disturbing, Katie. This is something that I always you
know, you go back to Orwelland look a lot of other books,
whether it is historic books or bookswritten in some sort of fiction but thinking
about the future, like Orwell's eightyfour. So many of what I hear
when I see on college campus isI hear the screaming, the yelling.
I hear the interviews, watch theinterviews. So much of it is young

(01:43:54):
women. Oh I think there.I mean I hear it anecdotally, but
you can see it's toatistically. It'sso weird how young men are kind of
moving to the right and women aremoving to the left. It's an absolute
phenomenon, and it's going to bevery, very tough on our boys,

(01:44:15):
Like Well, it's tough on thegirls too. I think it's going to
be kind of tragic to see thiswedge get driven between the sexes, between
male and female. I don't quiteknow how we're going to heal that.
No me either, it's going tobe interesting going forward, next gen Marxism,
what is it and how to combatit? And one of the co

(01:44:35):
authors, Katie gor could join theprogram. If everybody wants to get the
book, I highly recommend it.Where do they go? How can they
get it? Well? I alwayslove to recommend that people go to their
local bookstores, as long as it'snot one of the revolutionary bookstores. Support
your local bookstore. But if youcan't do that, then bite the bullet,
go to Amazon. I just thinkit's important that people understand the history

(01:45:00):
of this so that they really understandthe depravity of it and the seriesness of
it, and it motivates them tostand up to it and fight back.

deep doo doo eyah the chats andshow did you know? However, there
is a gender identity that is linkedto the seasons. This is called gender

(01:47:17):
season. The end of season isan individual who explores the gender identity in
relation to a season or all theseasons. So this might be somebody whose
gender expression and identity is linked toone season, so for example, winter
all this might be somebody whose genderidentity and expression changes depending on the season.
The hell are you talking about?There's no such thing. Did you

(01:47:39):
know that? Did you know there'sno such thing? So wait a minute,
I just want to get this right. In winter, you're feeling kind
