(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. It's getting real again.
Israel Hamas Rafa, not college campuses, although we've got some lunacy for
you later. But what's going onover there, we forget for all the
chaos that's going on and college campusesand they're canceling this and they're doing that.

(00:34):
People are going on hunger strikes andblah blah. That the reality of
our cartoonish battle that's going on here. At times, there's a real one
going on. But there's a ceasfire. Not so vast video show Israeli flags
now flying on the Palestinian side ofthe border. This as Hamas says they

(00:55):
are willing to accept a new ceasefireproposal to deal. A different agreement opposed
by Israel includes a permanent end ofmilitary operations and the withdrawal of Israeli forces
from areas adjacent to the border insideGaza. Israel now reviewing the plan but
has yet to agree to these terms. It's interesting, so Egypt and Cutter
a Qatar Cutter, they negotiated something, and remember that Hamasa's leaders, where

(01:21):
do they stay Cutter? Egypt justwants this done because they don't want anybody
pouring over their border. Remember they'vegot a massive wall there. They want
nothing to do with Palestinian refugees,and all of a sudden, this thing
gets done. Well on a second, Israel's like, who hello, why
were we not involved in negotiation?You guys are just like, all right,
here, here's the deal. Weaccept it, and you stop fighting.

(01:45):
It's completely over. And Israel's likenaa, na na nada. Prime
Minister Benjamin net Yahu's saying Hamas's counterofferis quote far from Israel's core demands,
which included a six week ceasefire andreleasing some Palestinian prisoners. Grew up to
thirty three hostages. Despite the uncertainty, crowns in Gaza celebrating Hamas's announcement well.

(02:08):
In Tel Aviv today, relatives ofhostages demonstrated in front of the US
consulate, demanding the Israeli government acceptthe deal. And that's the big problem
that Netanyahu has right now, whichis the hardliners want him to go into
Rafa, finish it, get itdone. Mike Pompeo came out and said,
look, this is the jail houseconversion. Essentially, they see the

(02:29):
writing on the wall. Hamas knowsthat they're in some serious trouble in ways
that they never thought they'd be.While they're winning the public you know,
media fight for a lot of peopleout there and the young. While they're
winning that in their mind, thereality on the ground is to get in
their asses handed to them. Andthen so you've got Benjamin dat Yao said,

(02:52):
well, hold on a second,we need our hostages back, and
then his hardliners that he needs otherwisehis government could collapse and he'd be out,
you know, he'd be out saying, yeah, you got to go
in there, you have to goin. But the families of the hostages
just say, no, you takethis. You get our people back.

(03:14):
It's been two hundred and fourteen days. We need to be reunited with our
loved ones. We're not going tosolve everything in the Middle East right now
today. Let's get our loved onesout. Let's come to the region.
One of the family members of thehospital, which is absolutely true. I
mean, we get this, weunderstand that we you know, we want
the people back, we want themback. And how many of them are

(03:35):
still alive, I don't know.And what this, you know, what
this ceasefire essentially says is we wantall of our people back Palestine, and
in the original document it was like, well, you guys aren't getting any
of yours back. It's like,hold on a second. So you want
us to give back everybody, someincluding the October seventh perpetrators. So we're

(03:55):
gonna give you back everybody. You'renot giving us anybody, and you want
us to stop. So apparently nowCutter is sending more people over to negotiate,
and Israel is announced they're going tosend some people as well to negotiate,
because it's nice to have somebody therenegotiating on your behalf. If Israel

(04:16):
does not commit to this after basicallylabeling Hamas as the only thing stopping the
ceasefire, that would be a major, major mistake. I believe. I
don't because the Mosque could come outtoday and say they want to ceasefire and
they want to end of the war. You saying that you have to back
it up with this is what we'regoing to do. We're going to lay

(04:38):
down our arms, we're going togive back all of your prisoners and hostages.
We're going to do all. Justsaying that doesn't make it so okay.
Well, we've got to take itfor you know, you know,
we've got to take it or elseNo, you can't do that. Did
CIA and the director of CIA,probably the director of operations have been involved
from the very beginning talking to partiesand Cutter talk the parties in Egypt and

(05:00):
of course talking to parties on theIsraeli side. So this is a fantastic
sign. Don't know all the detailsyet, but if we can get the
women and the children released as quicklyas possible, I think that'd be a
fantastic first step. And what dothey always say, the devil's in the
details. Well, you've got peopleout there saying, oh, it looks
like it's a good deal. Arepeople like, we don't even know if
it's the deal we proposed because itfeels like it's a different deal. They

(05:24):
put a bunch of writers in there, like they're like they're a rock band.
We only want you know, blueM and ms. Whatever it is.
So we shall see. But it'sgetting real and the humanitarian crisis is
absolutely I mean what you see overthere, first of all, what we
might see in the battle is somethingwe've never seen before because of the tunnels,

(05:46):
because of where they are because theyare as we know, like you
know animals, right, you putan animal in the corner and it's trapped,
it knows what's gonna do. It'shamas is that at this point in
time. So they understand that,and they're gonna use everything at their disposal,
including the tens and thousands and hundredsof thousands of innocent men, women
and children that will pay the priceto be a shield for them, because

(06:10):
that is a win in their mind. But you got to see what the
full details look like before you go, yeah, let's do this. Three
two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three
act. She had Minton show withyour Twitter. It's TikTok too, is
they We've got a lot of TikTokcoming up. By the way, Christyom
has struggled. Obviously, killing thedog was a was not a winner when

(06:31):
you know, putting it in thebook at least was not a winner.
But then you know, on Sunday, because everybody's auditioning to be the veep,
the the the news comes out abouther meeting with Kim Jung un or
maybe not or did she or didn'tshe? And the pushback on that is
growing every day Korean leader Kim Jongun. You've been questioned several times on

(06:56):
this. In the last couple ofdays. You write about North Korean leader
Kim Jung un. You've been questionedseveral times on this in the last couple
of days because you've issued a retraction. You said that it shouldn't have been
in the book, this passage,that it was a mistake. Why shouldn't
it have been in the book?Is it untrue? Now? What I
said is that when this was pointedout, that we made an adjustment to
what the content was in the book. I've met many world leaders around the

(07:18):
world. I've been to the DMZ, I've been traveling for years and years
talking to world leaders. Just thatname. It should not be in the
book, and I'm not going todiscuss those personal meetings. Your spokesman's hold
Politico that the world leader's names wereconflated in the book. What does that
even mean? What it means isthat I've met with many world leaders,
many of them, did you anyway, Kim jongen? Some of them are

(07:40):
in the book and some of themare not in the book, And that
when this was brought to my attention, I immediately took actions and asked to
have his name removed. Why didyou remove it? Is it because it's
untrue that cousage? You know,I've been this is something that I think
is I'm not going to talk aboutI don't talk about personal meetings with world
leaders, and I'm going to continueto stay there. Oh my god,
it's worse. So did it happen? Did it not happen? And how

(08:05):
it gets much worse is the factthat they pulled it out and they've already
apologized for it. It's the factthat she did the audio book about it
as if nobody could fact check.But clearly, if you're taking it out
of the book, it's because it'suntrue. Given you my answer, no,
and that's not the answer. Iwould say that, you know,
this is something that I asked tohave adjusted and have the content and that

(08:28):
name removed, and that is thatis truly what the action has been.
You said you when you learned ofit, you immediately took action. You
recorded the whole book in the audiobook, you read this whole passage out loud.
Why didn't you take it out?Then? When you read the audiobook?
You know I've traveled for years I'vebeen involved in policy for almost thirty
years, and so I've gone allacross the world. I've met with world
leaders. So you didn't really broughtto my book when I was brought to

(08:52):
my attention and it was I askedthe publisher if they would remove the name,
and they did. Okay, Ijust bet you didn't answer my question
when you record you a pictures andvideo of yourself recording the audiobook. When
you recorded your own audiobook, youdidn't notice. I'm not going to distress
about my meetings with world leaders.I'm not asking you to. I'm asking
about recording the audio. Did youwant to talk about something else today?
No, I just wanted to know. I mean, we're just trying to

(09:13):
get a straight answer from it.This is better we did, I mean,
and I took responsibility for it.The buck stops with me. I
was this anecdote I should not haveput in the book, and I asked
to have it taken out, andit is okay. Yeah, who would
have thought that killing your dog twentyyears ago and then putting it in the
book would not be the biggest issueyou have? How not to be part

(09:35):

(11:01):
I just got fired for my jobfor being sick and I brought home a
virus. I had to miss outon training. And they told me when
I started working there that if Ihave a fever, if I have diarrhea,
and if I have vomiting, I'mto not show up for work.
I did that, I had afever, told them I wasn't going to
be there. Finally get my trainingdone and I'm in the classroom and I
get a stomach bug. This isliterally, this is like a week and

(11:22):
a half after I got over thecold. So I told them I can't
come to work. I get overthe stomach bug. After the stomach bug,
I caught a cold, a headcold. And I mean these were
like back to back to back.So wait a minute, you caught a
cold, got a stomach bug,then got another cold, TikTok Tuesday.
I love how everybody takes to theTikTok to tell everybody how bad their world

(11:43):
is. So it sounds like,do you have a compromise immune system?
Continue, I have a head coldnow and I have a fever, so
I again can't go to work becausethey tell me if I have a fever,
I can't go to work. Sothen in between all of this,
Megan, I had two court hearingsthat I had to be there for that
I had documentation for, and sothat should have been excused. I finally

(12:07):
get over the head cold and Iget a chest cold, which I have
right now, and this past weekI had to call out. I went
to work on Monday and that's whenI started to feel the tightness in my
chest. I knew showing down.I have to be honest. You you
sound like a lot of work.So so far, you've been sick,
sick, sick, cold, stomachbug cold. Let's not forget the fact

(12:33):
that you had court dates as well, and you're like, I can't believe
I don't show up for work andthey get all mad. So that on
Tuesday I called out because I hada fever. I was on Wednesday,
I went to work, but Iwas absolutely miserable and everybody could see it.
So I asked to go home.I was there for like two and

(12:54):
a half hours, and I askedto go home early. My boss said
yeah. And I go to workyesterday and I was feeling great. I
was having a good day. Thetrees are green, it's officially summer like.
I was getting my bonus. Andso then midday, around eleven thirty,
I get called to go to HR'soffice and she terminates me for my
attendance. They just o, Nope, okay, we don't want you here.

(13:18):
No, you can't even provide mea solution. Yeah, the solution
is stop being sick and having somuch drama. This is why Computers,
AI and Robots producer Phil sends usa picture the other night is at a
Korean restaurant and the server's a robot. You're just like, it's the future.

(13:39):
It's the now three two, three, five, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson show toyour Twitter, your Instagram, all
of the other things that are outthere. Trump in court again, of
course, Trump, for those ofyou not keeping score, is in court.
This this is the the brag trialin New York, the hush money
porn porn. It has nothing todo with the porn star. It has

(14:01):
nothing to do with sex, hasnothing to do with any of that stuff.
It has all to do with moneyand accounting. And was it labeled
correctly? Was it not? Andit is. It is fascinating to watch
the media freak out about it becausepartially because the media understands this is not

(14:22):
a good situation, This is nota trial that should have ever happened.
They have still yet to provide howthey turned it from a misdemeanor into a
felony because he was going to perpetrateanother crime, although they've not actually shown
any evidence of what thatever crime is. And he, of course will not

(14:45):
be quiet because that's Trump. Trumpis not going to be quiet. Just
isn't going to happen. And heknows that he can push because they're not
going to put him in Putting himin jail would be such a massive nightmare
for the Democrats, and they understandthat. The other thing that maybe is

(15:05):
even more to switch is the gigorder, where I can't basically I have
to watch every word I tell youpeople. Yeah, but he is going
to push. He is going topush and to push and to push and
to push and to push as muchas he can. Uh. And the
excitement of the media is like,he's going to jail. That's exactly what

(15:28):
he wants. He wants that becauseI've been saying this for a while.
You can't martyr yourself without the actand the act for this one to be
going to jail. And how wouldthis look? Because even people on the
left, mucketty MUCKs on the MSNBCWorld and other places are like, first

(15:48):
of all, there would be someserious issues with the challenging of the First
Amendment, especially during an election,and you know so. But secondly,
it's going to look like you jailedyour opponent and that is not a look.
So he's gonna continue to push andbush because that's what Trump does,
like it or not, And there'sa reason there's a lot of people out
there that love the pushing and thepushing, the pushing. But I will

(16:12):
be honest with you. I continueto say he's gonna do everything he can
to get himself into a position wherethey're like, all right, we're gonna
have to jail him overnight. Andand the Secret Service is like, we
can't. What are we gonna do? Where are we gonna put him?
Honestly, where are we gonna puthim? And this judge is a lot

(16:33):
of what Trump says about this judge. It's absolutely correct, a lot of
it, including his daughter. Ifhe's like, well, he's attacking the
family. It's not a ten yearold with a puppy, right, She's
a grown ass woman who works forthe Democrats. So yeah, three two,
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three at

(16:53):
Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweetat his TEXTA program coming up in Amaze
book is out about how we've gottento where we are on college campuses,
and I was surprised to find out, according to Jeffrey Paul's new book,
that this is a century plus inthe making, this progressivism on college campuses.

(17:18):
It is not something that came aboutin the hippie sixties and seventies,
but long before that. He joinsthe program next to talk about his new
book. It's Chad Benson Job,the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,

(17:56):
Independent Life, This is Chad Bensonchaos on campus. And I had an
opportunity to talk to somebody about this, and they said, would you like
that? I said, yes,one hundred percent. I want to talk
to this guy. He's a professorresearch professor at West Virginia and he is
also an author. In his newbook, is Winning America's Second Civil War,

(18:18):
Progressive authoritarian Threat, Where it camefrom, How to Defeat It?
Jeffrey Paul joins a program. Allright, first and foremost, like what
we're seeing on campus, you've seenand you've understood that was coming for quite
a while. Yeah, it's beencoming for much longer than most Americans realize.
Indeed, probably all Americans realize,including the academics who have precipitated this.

(18:44):
What happened in the United States wasthe United States is a singular country
in the character of its founding.It was founded on specific principles that had
never been invoked in human history beforeand haven't been in since. The principles
upon which he was founded were these, that nature gives every human being an

(19:11):
entitlement of property, right in themselvesand therefore in their liberty, and therefore
in the fruits of their labor.And governments are needed only to protect those
rights, and never to violate them. A government which violates them is as

(19:32):
criminal as an individual who violates them. So the United States for its first
one hundred years reflected that, andindeed we fought a civil war to defend
those principles and free the people whohad been enslaved, and government was minimal.

(19:52):
It was the government that was describedin the Constitution. And then something
happened, and it happened shortly afterthe Civil War in the eighteen seventies.
We're talking to Jeffrey Paul. He'san author's new books called Winning America's Second
Civil War, Progressive Authoritarian Threat,Where it came from, and how to
defeat it? All Right, Soyou talk about it in a sense inside

(20:15):
of the book about you know,this didn't happen overnight, and it hasn't
been here for just a couple ofyears or decades. This has been here
for a while. When did itstart and how did it start? Presidents
of American colleges decided they wanted toconvert these colleges into research universities and that

(20:36):
the faculty to do that would haveto have doctorates. Doctorates weren't routinely given
at American universities. The faculty,no one on the faculty had doctorates.
There were one or two exceptions,and so they had to import faculty who
had doctorates. The only country thathad had doctoral programs for about two hundred

(21:00):
years was Germany. So the ideawas that they would have Americans study at
German universities, get doctorates at Germanuniversities, and then give them positions in
American colleges and universities, and thatwould upgrade dramatically American universities. Talking to

(21:22):
Jeffrey Paul about his new book thatis out very interesting with all this going
on in the world of colleges.I'm telling you, guys, it is
a hell of a read. Sowe talk about the fact that you know,
here you are, Jeff. You'retalking about the fact that we went
over we found you know, doctors, you know, who could teach all
of the sciences and everything like that. But then it was really one country

(21:45):
of the office. It's Germany.They come here, they are trained over
there, and they find out,oh wait, our system is totally different
than anything that is out there.And I love what you talk about in
the book, how they faced oursystem, what they actually thought of it.
This first generation of German trained Americanshad this elite view of themselves and

(22:10):
had nothing but contempt and attacked thefounding principles. So the universities were transformed
morally and politically in the last quarterof the nineteenth century, between about eighteen
seventy six and nineteen hundred. Thefaculty was also then given all powers of

(22:32):
hiring and firing that those were transferredfrom the president. And therefore in the
social sciences and the humanities they trainedeveryone, but they trained everyone through a
particular political and moral prism. Itwas the antithesis of that of the founders.
Talking to Jeffrey Paul about his newbook, which I think hits right

(22:56):
at home, what's going on incollege campuses and this has been a long
time coming. His new book iscalled Winning America's Second Civil War, Progressivism,
authoritarian threat, where it comes from, and how to defeat it.
In the book, one of thethings I found so interesting is the fact
that you know these are all socialists. They don't say they're socialists when they

(23:18):
come here because they know that isnot going to hit well, whether it's
on American campuses or an American life. In Germany, they would have been
called and were called state socialists.It was a good term in Germany,
but in America it would never havebeen a good term, and so they
needed a term that would disguise theirviews to the public, and that the

(23:41):
term they chose. They borrowed froma German political party, the progress Party,
and they called themselves progressives. That'swhere progressivism comes from. Outside of
the universities, people were completely unawarethat this transformation had taken place. If
they heard about it, they heardthat it was an enormous upgrade to the

(24:03):
universities. The effect of this transformation, however, was the following since more
and more people attended college and universitiesin the twentieth century. By many times,
what were the numbers that were goingto colleges and universities in the nineteenth

(24:25):
century. Graduates, undergraduates and soon from these institutions came out with very
different moral views and political views thantheir predecessors. They didn't realize they been
indoctrinated, but they had, andyou can read individual stories of how this

(24:47):
happened. Talking to author Talking toauthor Jeffrey Paul about his new book Winning
America's Second Civil War, Progressivisms,authoritarian Threat, where it came from,
and how to defeat it now Jefferyinside of the book, And it's one
thing that I've been fascinated about is, you know, we think of this
stuff from you know, maybe fortyyears ago. The reality is this has

(25:08):
been around for over a century.And I think that would shock a lot
of people to know. People thinkthat the universities are what they would call
left wing and have only become leftwing in maybe the last thirty or forty
or fifty years. That's not thecase. They have been exactly the way
they are today since nineteen hundred,and survey after survey after survey of the

(25:34):
political opinions of faculty confirm that.Yeah, because I think most people do
every think that it came from thissixties and seventies kind of out of you
know, the French philosophy, theintersectionality. All of this stuff is kind
of we get it from this modernworld, and really it's only taken foothold

(25:55):
here since like the seventies and eighties. But you're saying it goes back such
a long way, which is crazy. Yeah, that's an empirical fact because
they began to do surveys in thenineteen fifties, formal surveys and those were
done by academics, and what itshowed was the United States had effectively of
one party university. I mean,the first person who observed this and wrote

(26:19):
about it and his book became ascandal to university academics was William F.
Buckley god Man at Yale, andhe said, why are things like this?
Why is everyone in the economics departmenton the left? And then,
as I said, there were thesesurveys done over and we continue to be
done today. And what they revealedis that the universities today are really secular

(26:44):
churches. That's basically what they are. And you're only going to get one
point of view. There are noothers. There are a few people sprinkled
here and there. And therefore what'shappened is the people who graduated from university,
who have graduated since nineteen hundred,have been on the left. So
they transformed journalism and the media,they transformed constitutional law, and they have

(27:11):
transformed the entire culture. And weare now in an extremely perilous place in
our history. When you look atall of this and see what's going on
in college campuses right now, you'renot shocked. I think the average person
in America thought, well, they'rekind of left, but we didn't think
there was going to be this kindof anti Semitism, this kind of and

(27:32):
I tried to explain to people,it's this neo Marxism, this lunacy.
It's not about pow like, thisisn't about Palestine. This is about the
oppressor and the oppressed. This stuffthat's being pushed out there Palestine just happens
to be the fashion of the moment. Yeah, that's absolutely right. Although
I'll tell you something ironic. Thesame people who taught the first generation of

(27:52):
American doctorates who came over from Germany, the same German Prophetoriat that taught them
what's the same problem Saoriat that taughtthe Nazi prophesoria they taught the people who
were teaching at the universities in Germany. As the Nazis came to power and
the Nazis attributed their views to Germanto various German philosophers like Fichte and various

(28:18):
German economists like Adolf Wagner, becausethese people were the source of this view
that the nation as an organism,individuals are just parts of the organism which
have duties to perform no rights.So Nazism really state socialism. National socialism

(28:38):
was the origin of the original facultyhere, and you could see it in
many of the presidencies that came afterthat. Talking to you, author Jeffrey
Paul's new books called Winning America's SecondCivil War, Progressivism, authoritarian Threat,
Where it came from, and howto defeat it? Now you're talking about

(29:02):
obviously this progressivism, the stuff thatcame from came from in many cases the
people ended up teaching the Nazis landedon our shores. But our presidents got
involved. And I find that tobe really interesting that our presidents were involved
in many cases. Academics, howand who Woodrow Wilson was from the second

(29:23):
generation of academics. He'd been presidentof Princeton, Governor of New Jersey,
and then President of the United States, and he got the Sixteenth Amendment pass.
There hadn't been any income tax inthe United States except an emergency income
tax during the Civil War. Andif you look at Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt's term,

(29:45):
and Franklin Delanor Roosevelt was ranked secondamong all American presidents in the survey
of American historians. This is aboutfive or six months ago. If you
look at Roosevelt, one of thethings is one of the progressive journalists,
one of the first progressive journalists.If you look at the New Deal,

(30:06):
it's an exact replica of the Italianfascist regime under Mussolini. And he wrote
a book called The Good Society inwhich he describes this, and his fellow
leftists were shocked. They were stunned. But of course, first Roosevelt adopted
the whole economic plan of Italy.But second of all, his policies were

(30:30):
racist. He rounded up all Japaneseand he had them put into camps in
Kansas. He did not fill thequotas for Jews who were trying to escape
from Nazi Germany. He kept thearmy segregated, and he opposed an anti
lynch law. Where do we gofrom here, because you know your book

(30:52):
is about how you know, howwe take this thing on? What do
you think the number one thing isthat we should do when we understand what's
going on and how to combat.Transforming the universities is going to be exceedingly
difficult, although I do make someproposals about what can be done. In
part there have been some reforms inthe state of Ohio, in Florida,

(31:15):
in North Carolina, those should beemulated elsewhere, and they basically just affect
state universities. But because I feelthat we're in such a perilous condition,
I feel there has to be amajority of voters behind probably the only party

(31:36):
that can and this is not tosay they're perfect in in any way,
but the only party which will extricateit, which has a possibility of saving
us, at extricating us for thetrajectory we're on, would be the Republicans.

of us. It's the beauty ofTikTok and the scary side of TikTok.

(34:36):
The it was a and we've talkedabout it before there was and I'll find
I think it's in gallup that avast majority of Americans believe that TikTok is
an absolute threat to democracy, toour way of life. It is a
Chinese propaganda tool. Okay, Sothen this is a new study and a

(35:00):
new poll. There's plenty of themout there, and yet a vast majority
of Americans is like, well,I don't get rid of it. I
mean I don't want to get ridof it. I mean I don't want
to do it. And I thinkthe thing is with TikTok is we feel
that if we get rid of it, somehow free speech is stopped. And

(35:21):
that's not true. The reality isis there are other platforms you can go
to. Now, their speech maybe different, and they may have rules
and whatnot, but that's not onTwitter. We know that for sure.
So it's it's so bizarre. It'slike, we know this is bad,
but we'll have some more. Threetwo, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three. AtchadBenson shows your Twitter. I want

(35:42):
to think Jeffrey Paul if you missedany of the interview, This new book
out about America's civil war with progressivismand on college campuses, how it started.
It's a fascinating interview. You cangrab the podcast, and I think
you should check it out because itis a very alarming situation that we're seeing
now, but it has been hereforever, and it is so crazy how

(36:06):
long this has been on college campuses, and now that we're really paying attention
to it, is it too late. So grab the podcast if you miss
any of the show. It isthe Chad Benson Show. This is the
Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,Independent Life, This is Chad Benson.

(36:46):
Will there be a seasfire? Itdepends on who you ask. Hamas is
like, yeah, we're totally upfor a ceasefire. Let's stop the war,
give us back all of our people, and we're going to do nothing
that you've asked us to do.We've changed the rules on first word of
Hamas's acceptance of a ceasefire proposal,State Department spokesman Matthew Miller was noncommittal.

(37:07):
We are reviewing that response now anddiscussing it with our partners in the region.
CIA Director William Burns remains in theMiddle East helping to broker a deal.
The Israelis have yet to respond,but a group representing the families of
hostages says it welcomes the announcement andurges the Israeli government to accept an agreement.
Stephen Portnoy, ABC News Washington,now here's the issue that bbing Net

(37:31):
Yahoo has. All right, they'reheading into Rafa, already raised the flag.
On the other side, the issueis the hard right in his cabinet,
who he needs to have a governmentstill wants to go into raf They
want no capitulation, just go bulldozeand destroy and get it over with.

(37:52):
The families want their people back,as you understand, who wouldn't who wouldn't
want their family members back, whowouldn't want their loved ones back? So
this deal that was negotiated was donewith cutter and Egypt. Israel wasn't at
the table. Hamas is like,we'll take it but there's nothing in there

(38:13):
that Israel's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, none of the
stuff that we've asked for is evenin this stuff. You want everything and
you're giving nothing, which Israel's doneon numerous occasions. But the going into
Rafa is a big deal. We'vemade clear our views about operations in Rafa
that could potentially put more than amillion innocent people at greater risk. During
his call with Prime Minister nat Yangwith the President again made this clear,

(38:37):
Hey, look, I know youneed to do what you need to do,
but you're worried about your cabinet.I'm worried about getting re elected.
It's not good that we're supporting you. And then you know, everybody says
that it's not just geopolitics, it'slife. There are plenty of people over
there who want nothing to do withHamas, who would like to live in
peace, but are paying the pricebecause Amas uses them. So what comes

(38:57):
out of this, I don't know, because I don't trust anything Hamas does.
Remember there already was a ceasefire inOctober sixth, and that changed on
the seven. They've got a lotof what they've wanted, which is the
world in theory, turning on themthe youth. And we'll get to those
people in a second. They've gota lot of that. The problem is
in reality on the ground where theyare, they're getting destroyed and their people

(39:21):
are dying, and their people arecelebrating that there's some sort of ceasefire.
In reality, there isn't any ceasefire, at least not right this second.
And what does that even look like. I got to go a couple weeks
with the seasfire before I go,all right, there's a ceasefire, because
I think you and I both knowthis. Everybody's like, there's a ceasefire,
and then forty five minutes later theceasefire is broken. So we'll see
what takes place. But Israel Isthey're going in. They want to wipe

(39:45):
out Hamas, which you and Iknow is virtually impossible to wipe out an
ideology that every time you kill somebody, you for the most part, are
breeding another one or two in thatideology. So that's a tough thing to
do there. That is. Meanwhile, on college campuses, forty thousand people

(40:08):
dead, you're arresting kids and said, what would you like the campuses of
UCLA, USC San Diego State,anywhere else across the country, Columbia,
what would you like the police todo there? Out of curiosity? Was
You're like, oh, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, you know
what I'd like them to do.I'd like them to go over and stop.
This can't happen. Isn't gonna happen. You and I both know that

(40:30):
you're out there and you're doing stuffand you're throwing fit. But here's the
thing. Is it working? Areyou getting your message out there? What's
your message? It depends. Imean, you kids are chanting stuff that
you know nothing about, that isfully antisemitic, that is about destroying the
Jewish people. You're doing it inseveral languages that you don't know anything lost

(40:52):
in translation. You'll care it soundsgood, you know, I mean,
and you're out there and you're feelingit and stuff, but you have no
idea what a lot of this stuffmeans. And because of that, it's
it's hard for the average American toget behind you're because you're you're jumping on
the we need to get rid ofall the Jews. You're not coming at
it from look I you know,Hamas needs to be destroyed, There's no

(41:15):
doubt about that. Their terrorist organization, what they believe and how they use
their people. They need to bedestroyed, but we also need to protect
the people that are there, theinnocence, the young, the old,
the women, the children. It'salways funny, nobody ever says thinking about
it, Like a dude who wantsnothing to do with the Moss and won't
fight for them, but doesn't wantto, you know, doesn't want to
give in to Israel. He somehowis like nobody cares about him. And

(41:37):
that's the issue these college kids hashad, and they've been radicalized and they've
been just they've been hoodwinked, ifyou will. And it's sad to see.
And I'm seeing it more and moreevery single day, even here,
and we're seeing it in businesses.And how many times do we have to
tell the CEOs of companies, donot get involved, Do not allow your

(42:02):
people to get involved in politics,sell your widget. Case in point.
Jet Blue now. So I flewto Vegas on Jeff Blue last night.
When I got on a plane andsat down, and I noticed that the
flight attendant sitting right in front ofme of the jump seat was wearing a
free Palace Line pin. Also ablack Lives Matter pen and another pin.
I don't remember what I don't upsetme, but I decided, you know
what, I'm not I'm not goingto say anything. It's not worth a

(42:24):
debate. Girl next to me sitsdown. She's a Jewish and I might
have been from Israel. It upsether too, but I was like,
you know what, it's not worthit. Let it go. So op
did not to say anything and notsay anything, so right, you know,
I'm not going to say anything.But wait, there's more. And
the flight attendant put on an apronand decided to move the free Palaceline pin

(42:45):
to the apron, not the BlackLives Matter the other pin. She was
wearing, just a free palace onone and I took it as she was
doing it on purpose. I walkedup to the front and I said to
the lead, I said, areyou a leave flight attendant said yeah.
I said, look, I justwant to tell you I'm a frequent flyer
and Mosaic member. It was justupset that, you know, she wore
that. And then then she changedthat one to the front of the apron,
not the others, and she said, okay, I'll speak with her.

(43:06):
Said, you know, what.I don't want them to be an
issue. Maybe, you know,speak with her, but not now.
Maybe to speak of her after weleave the plane. Maybe later on,
just talk about it. Maybe alittle insensitive, maybe if you're uncomfortable.
Okay, This guy a frequent flyer'sfifty four years old. His name's Paul
Fouss. He's an entrepreneur from Parkland, Florida. And you know, he's
in one of those like Mosaic orone of those like hey, you know
presidential kind of We fly so muchon Jet Blue and lo and behold him

(43:30):
saying this gets him in trouble.They like pull him out of the line
when he's getting off, saying,dude, you're gonna have to come with
us. You've caused the steak.So we get some phone and he calls
the police and he says, I'mstanding here with the pastor. They caused
the disturbance on our flight. Oncehe said that, I just walked away.
I was not going to sit therewhile he makes up lies. So

(43:50):
I get up this morning and Idecided to check my Jet Blue app.
They canceled my flight home, butout telling me no notice. They canceled
my return ticket. They canceled hisreturn ticket because they said he was causing
a stink. He was causing CEOs. Stay away from this. Tell your
people be neutral. Be neutral,especially when you're with the public, if

(44:14):
you're behind the scenes, if youknow whatever it is, be neutral,
though, when you're dealing with thepublic. So I called the mosaic line,
asked to speak to a supervisor.Said to me, she's reading the
notes, it said, mister,cause the disturbance on the flight. Did
not listen to flight crew instructions,didn't listen to supervisor that met him at

(44:35):
the gate, had no communication withthis flight attendant whatsoever. I specifically told
the leaf flight attendant that I didn'twant her to speak to her while I
was on the plane because I didn'twant them to be a distruction. So
they have lied canceled my flight home. This is Jet Blue. It's one
thing that happened on college campus whenkids are don't know what they're doing.
This is now a corporation, rightor wrong, allows an employee to wear
that pin, but then allows themto treat a customer that w and cancel

(45:00):
my flight without telling me. Nota good look, jem Blue. Not
a good look at all. Thenyou've got the CEO of Hymns who's trying
to walk back his statement about he'sa Palestinian American. He's praising these kids,
saying, you know what, keepup the fight, we'll hire you
here. And now he's trying towalk that back because he saw two hundred
million dollars wiped off his stocks.Guess what, Jews and people who believe

(45:24):
in what is going on in Israelin their fight and that Israel is right
to defend themselves, they too.If you don't know what Hymns is,
they need boner pills as well.So CEOs will say it over and over
again, stop the madness. Justserve the ice cream. You don't have
to put a twist on it.Three two, three, five, three

(47:00):
Chad Benson Shows seven days without food. I'm doing this by choice. The
people of Gaza are being forced tostarve, especially the people in the north
of Gaza. Doing this for sevendays is unpleasant enough. I can't imagine
what it would be like to actuallyget to the point where you are starving
to death, and what it's likewhen you can't even get clean drinking water.

(47:22):
Inhumane. Israel must stop it's violenceagainst all of the Palestinian people in
the West Bank and Gaza in Jerusalem. Israel must stop its violence. It
must and its occupation. Oh soundshungry. I don't know how long I
can do this? Are you hungry? By the way, you know,

(47:45):
Israel into Rafa. We've been talkingabout it. Today they roll in.
It's going to be ugly. It'sgoing to be some of the worst fighting
you've ever seen. Some people aresaying, this may be the worst fighting
we've ever seen in our lifetimes.And they tried to get aid in there.

(48:06):
And what did Jimas do. Theyfired on all the eight trucks and
everything. It's remember Hamas's goal issimply, the more dead Palestinians, the
better it is. Well, Chad, there was a ceasefire, a ceasefire
plan. Everybody was at the negotiatingtable, but Israel. Israel put out
what they wanted. Then all ofa sudden, they're like, all right,
we've got a ceasefire, Hamas says, except for the fact that it

(48:29):
is has all these riders in it, with no talk of giving back hostages.
And Israel's like, yeah, we'renot doing that. We're not doing
that. I expect nothing less.The youth does not know the youth is
well, they are misinformed. Iwould like to say some of them are
just playing duh. One of themost common comments I receive is that if

(48:54):
I went to Phalestine as a nonbinary queer person that I would be on
alived by them. I just wantto say that the majority of my followers
at this point are Muslim, manyof them are Palestinian, and not a
single time have I received a deaththreat or unkind words from any of them.

(49:14):
I have been invited to people's homes, I have been called dear.
These people do not know hate theway that Zionists know hate. Well,
then let's try it out. Let'ssend you over to one of these countries
that you think has all this lovefor you. I think we could all
raise some money. We'll get yourgofund me. We'll see how this goes.

(49:36):
I am less afraid of a Palestinianor a Muslim than I am of
a Christian man, because all ofthe Christian men in my comments are hateful,
and I have received death threats fromthem. Okay, it's always about
that case back to yes or rememberthe bear. Would you rather be in
the woods with a angry christly bearthat's going to protect your cubs or with

(49:59):
a white straight mail you like,give me the grizzly bear. These are
the people that think that's that wouldbe the trade off, Like, well,
the white straight male may rape meor kill me or do something,
may try to convert me to Christianity, may get me out of this.
Who knows what insanity goes through theirmind. But on the other side of

(50:22):
it, they're like, the grizzlybear would know that I come in peace?
Would it? Would it? Speakingof it? Because it's Tuesday,
TikTok Tuesday big push on the oldTikTok for the Koran. I just started
reading the Koran and I am soexcited about it. I started following somebody
on social media that teaches the Koranand hosts a Koran book club for Muslims
and non Muslims, so I'm reallyexcited to start going to that. She

(50:45):
was describing the chapter of the Bee, and that just blew my mind,
Like the way that she describes thingsis the way that the Koran describes things
actually makes sense. To me.And also, did you know what that
Allah is beyond gender man useful idiots? I think the kid's are useful idiots
and TikTok as we know as anightmare. We'll get to the numbers here

(51:06):
and how we're playing into this.But okay, again, there's plenty of
places you could go. I guessIran is. They're not hanging gays,
They're not throwing people off buildings,right, They're not beating women for not
wearing their hit job. There,no, no, no, no,
It's all love, It's all hugs, It's all cuddles. And did you
know that each chapter is named aftera natural phenomenon? I just I don't

(51:27):
know. This whole book is justblowing my mind and I am so excited
to have so I'm honestly having awhole revolution with myself where the way that
I describe the universe and the thingsthat I believe in are actually described in
the Koran of believing in Allah.And I've never thought that I believed in
God before, and now I'm reallyhaving a revolution himself of I think I
actually believe in God. Yeah,and the Koran is all over it,

(51:47):
like we talked about with TikTok,the spread of what China is doing,
and the push through the algorithms seventyfive to one. You know, so
for every one video positive about youknow Israel or or you know Jews or
whatever, there are seventy five videosplus that are about freeing Palestine. How

(52:10):
bad the Zionists are and the Jews. It is crazy and the push Israel,
and these kids are buying into it. Have fun again. We will
arrange a trip. There are alot of people who are converting. There's
a lot of people who are readingit. I'm not saying I'm gonna convert.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't andI don't know. I just I
know that this is exactly what Ineed right now. I just wanted to

(52:31):
say thank you and just point outhow excited I am. Oh my god.
So there you go, because theMuslims are super kind to the LGBT
community and and I want to pointthis out. Remember Israel, same sex
couples, legal, LGBT rights,legal, all of those stuff. Palestine,

(52:52):
by the way, just to letyou know, is a one hundred
and forty second in the equality ranking, right above me and mar tied with
Cota, Ivory, and Tuvalu.So there you go. If you want
to know about the Arab countries acceptanceof homosexuality, ninety five percent say no,

(53:17):
just want to point that out toyou, So have fun with that.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty
three atch headventon show, to Twitter, your Instagram, No TikTok because why
evil? It's fun to watch though, I know, and that's how they
get you. It's fun. Youget sucked into it. And then the

(53:37):
last here we go New ABC poll. Vast majority of Americans think that it's
a propaganda tool by China. Alot of more Americans believe that we shouldn't
get rid of it, that thereshould be a for sale, and that
we should keep it because we're havingfun and really that's all that matters.

(53:58):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad BensonJoe, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(54:30):
This is Chad Benson. I wokeup yesterday a text from my husband,
but that was just a link toan article saying that all art institute graduate
loans are forgiven canceled. Yeah.I graduated from there, been there for
two years to get a second degree, and I ended up picking out I
think it was thirty seven thousand dollars. I graduated in two thousand and six.

(54:50):
I have been paying the loan backsince two thousand and six. I
even put a giant plump sum downon it at least ten years ago.
I am still paying that loan andI still owe roughly eleven thousand dollars on
it. Oh, student loans alwaysa big deal, specially if you're Biden
and you're trying to get the youngvote. Having that loan canceled means that
it doesn't exist anymore. No oneis paying it, no one has to

(55:15):
pay anything else. Taxpayers are notinvolved. So if you're a taxpayer and
you're upset that some people are gettingtheir loans forgiven, I don't understand it
because for me, like I hopethat things are easier for my kids,
and for some reason, you guysthink that they should be equally as hard,
if not more. Why to anyonecomplaining about anyone's loans being forgiven?

(55:36):
You have nothing to do with it, height you have an opinion on it.
I'm I'm trying to I just wantto go back to this on TikTok
to. Is they somebody takes TikToktalk about the stuff always makes us laugh
because that's not the way it works. So if if you go to a
restaurant and I cop your meal,it doesn't mean the meal was free.

(56:00):
It was free for you, butI had to buy the food. I
had to pay people, chefs,servers, dishwashers to make sure that you
got your food. You got toeat your food, clean the food up,
et cetera. It's not free.It's not magic. Do not understand

(56:24):
that there's a great article in Forbestalking about, well, you know,
they'll just fold it into the deficit. Who pays for the deficit? We
do? Who are we the taxpayers? You are dead set and believing that
your taxes are covering these looms.They're not. The loans just don't exist
anymore. They're just they're gone,Like you're not paying for it anyway.

(56:46):
I'm not paying my loans anymore.Literally, cute anybody who's not about it.
No, it's sad. You needto go get another degree. I
tell you how this works. It'sit's somebody's paying for the loan. You
do get that right, And intheory, you're back paying for it somewhat

(57:07):
because of your taxes. But nowyou've spread it out amongst other people,
and we still never deal when itcomes to college, to the reality of
how ridiculously expensive is You know,yesterday we brought up that article, not
an article, that that email thatsomebody sent me about you know, college,
and and you know how how amazingit is and how credible it is,
and I shouldn't poo poo it.And I'm kind of paraphrasing here,

(57:29):
And if you don't go to college, you're you're not really going to be
anything in life somewhat, and andand the person goes on and on about
how you can't understand art and allthis kind of stuff, and a lot
of people snap back at that person. By the way, Maya Angelou,
I think you guys would think she'spretty, was a pretty smart cooking.
She didn't go to college, solet you guys know, she was a
professor she ever went to college.So what does that say about she goes

(57:52):
I got education in other places youcan't. But we never deal with the
cost of college. And if we'regoing to continue to give OANs, we're
gonna have to do what They're gonnahave to raise taxes. By the way,
how many of you did really wellwith that one point nine trillion dollar
tax cut that increased really good shape, right, really changed? Well you
did well, that's good, youmight. I'm glad to see you're doing

(58:14):
well already, and I'm good.But guess what if you let me,
you're not gonna have you Your taxesare gonna be raised, not cut.
If you're if you're benefit of that, yeah, well we're gonna make sure
we take that away. So letyou guys know that IRS data prove Trump's
tax cut benefited middle and working classAmericans the most. You mean, it

(58:35):
didn't help the rich. The richdon't need our help. How many times
do we have to tell you this. You could make it one hundred percent
when it comes to taxes on thewealthy and they'll figure it out. You
recognize that, right, you recognizeit, But I Biden. I don't

(58:55):
expect Biden to recognize this, andnor do I expect anybody who wo works
with Biden. Case in point,his economic advisor trying to explain monetary theory
to people. And this is theguy who is his economic advisor, who
by the way, has no economydegree, is not an economist, didn't

(59:19):
you know, it was like heworks in social services and what this was
not a guy who was like wegot this guy. He was a brilliant
mind on Wall Street and and no, no, this was just a dude
that got and I want you guysto understand this. His name's Jared Bernstein
might as well have been the BernsteinBears. Listen to him trying to explain
monetary theory and why we borrow moneyand just the economy, well the so

(59:46):
the I mean again, some ofthis stuff gets some of the language that
them some of the language and conceptsare just confusing. I mean, the
government definitely prints money, and itdefinitely lends that money. Which is why
the government definitely prints money, andthen it lends that money by selling bonds.

(01:00:07):
Is that what they do? Oh? They they Yeah, they sell
bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right, since they sell bonds and
people buy the bonds and lend themthe money. Yeah. So a lot
of times, a lot of times, at least to my year with MMT,
the language and the concepts can beunnecessarily confusing, But there is no

(01:00:29):
question that the government prints money andthen it uses that money to So yeah,
I guess I'm just I don't Ican't really talk. I don't.
I don't get it. I don'tknow what they're talking about, like,
because it's like the government clearly printsmoney, it does it all the time,

(01:00:52):
and it clearly borrows. Otherwise wewould be having this debt and defist
conversation. So I don't think there'sanything confusing there. That is the economic
advisor to Biden. I don't.I don't really know what it does.
So, yeah, so there's thattalking about modern monetary theory, which is
a theory. But they do theythey print it like they like they print

(01:01:15):
it on a like paper. Isthat how it's made? Then we don't
plan it? And then then whatso we can print more? Do we
sell bonds? How does this?I'm trying to so I don't really know
how it works. Solid three twothree, five, three eight, twenty

And she, of course is thegovernor of New York. And like
all Democrats, feel sorry for peopleof color, black kids in particular,
because you've always been a victim accordingto them, and as they do their
best, the Democrats will always keepyou a victim because you do not know
how to get an ID, whichis impossible to get. We all know
that's why we can't have voter IDbecause they're races and the word computer young

(01:02:00):
black kids growing up in the Bronxwho don't even know what the word a
computer is. They don't know.They don't know these things. And I
want the world open up to allof them because when you have their diverse
voices innovating solutions through technology, thenyou're really dressing society's broader challenges. What

(01:02:23):
everything through the lens of race.Hey, black people, you're not very
smart. Do you remember, likedo you even know what the internet is?
Have you ever seen when they goon college campuses and the last questions
about something and they're like, well, you know, black people can't find
the DMV or that's why it's racist, or they don't know how to get
on the internet. It is justI can't even believe that you would say

(01:02:49):
that, but that I can becausethe goal is to always keep you on
the democratic plantation, which is tomake sure that you never rise above anything

how dare it be anything more thanthat? Because we have to help you

(01:05:50):
Benson Show. If you didn't afat people because you just happen to view
fatinas as neutral but not be particularlyattracted to it, fine, that's a
preference. If you don't date fatpeople because you think being fat means that
they are gross lazy, live anunhealthy lifestyle or embarrassing to be seen with

(01:06:11):
in public. That's fat phobic.Uh, that's fat phobic. TikTok Tuesday
here. So you're fat. Soif you're neutral on people of size,
nutritional overachievers, fatties, if you'reneutral on that and you don't want to
date somebody, wow, that's apreference. But if you're just like no,
then you're a fat phobic. Okay, I just want to I want

(01:06:32):
to clear this up. That meansyou prefer skinny people because all fat people
are those other things. That's actuallybigoted. That's actually deciding that one group
is all the same because of howthey look. Hope that makes sense.
Have a good day. It doesn't. Yes, don't we all have preferences.
What if you like tall people,short people, that's a preference.

(01:06:56):
But somehow fat phobia and and Ilove how they use it's like islamophobia.
No, I don't homophobic. Whatthere's no fear. There's no irrational fear
of fat pins. Oh my god, somebody's coming here. They've eaten too
much. Instead of that stuff,I just when they throw that out there,

(01:07:18):
just remind them, no, you'renot You're not scared of somebody who
is a nutritional overachiever. You justchoose to eat some you know, to
date somebody who is thinner thinter.That might be your jam, right,
that's that's what. If you're athin person and and you know, or

(01:07:39):
you're a large person and there's athin person, they prefer to date somebody
larger. Oh yeah, we allhave our preferences. And the phobia thing
has gotta stop. It has toHe's the most boring man on the planet.
This is great. This is inthe Wall Street Journal. Insomniacs swear

(01:08:01):
by dull narrators put them to sleep, whether on purpose or not. This
guy here, this guy, RandySmith, he is uh, well,
if you want to sleep, hemight be your man. First word processor
that I ever used was a programcalled word Star on an IBM program.
And I kind of get a kickout of IBM people who who make the

(01:08:23):
comment that the Macintosh screen is toosmall. Well, I remember on WordStar,
the entire third, the tire topthird of my screen was a menu
bar. And that menu bar wasjust to show me all the commands,
all the key commands that I hadto remember to do simple functions in the
word processing program. And so theyhad a lot of great programs for the
IBM and the IBM compatible's Word Star, Word Perfect. You're like, what

(01:08:46):
is he talking about. He's boringyou to death. That's the whole point.
Last year Randy Smith said, outof nowhere, he got a text
said thank you for putting it ors leap. He was shocked to discovered
that he he's become a YouTube star. The Ormond Beach, Florida resident and
retire He was surprised about well tutorialthat he recorded and sold. This VHS

(01:09:10):
tape in nineteen eighty nine on howto use Microsoft Word had resurfaced, the
most boring video ever made. Let'shear some more from Randy programs including Word.
It will allow you now to adjustthat space and that is called adjusting
the letting and PageMaker. For example, you can set that you can have
ten point type on eleven point letting, which will give you one point of
space in between the two lines.So that is another term. The last

(01:09:34):
term is font type font. Nowin Microsoft Word, you are allowed to
set the font that you want touse. And again, if we're going
to use the Macintosh, lets useit to its fullest capacity. It is
boring. Oh my goodness. Tome, this is spectacular, he said,
why somebody it has no interest inMicrosoft Word would be watching it,

(01:09:56):
especially such an old version. Ihave no idea the answer. White noise
like rain showers or ocean waves.That helps some people. Others find it
easier to nod off to humans yammeringssuch as the play by play of a
baseball game. And I'll tell youwhat. Every once in a while,
on a Sunday, after I've donea bunch of stuff, I'll watch a
bit of the golf and I'll findmyself fading because it's just nice. It's

(01:10:17):
just a nice thing. It's pleasant. It's nice. You guys. Get
it. Some more from Randy.A Macintosh will computer will do basically eighty
percent of us. We are becomingvery feature laden. In fact, some
people call it feature itis. Andsome of the new programs and there are
things that'll do that you'll never wantto do. So it's the other sixty
percent that we're going to focus ontoday. So let's go through those seven

(01:10:40):
features, seven functions and Microsoft Word. The first one is called selecting.
Now we used to call this highlighting, but now some of the new programs
have a function called highlighting also,so we'll call it selecting. Yeah,
it's crazy. There's a bunch ofthese out there. I can't sleep.
A boring podcast is out there.A gentleman by the name of Benjamin Boster

(01:11:01):
of Pleasant Grove, Utah. Theforty three year old trained vocal performers boss
once told him he had a boringvoice. Well, now he's making money
off of it. And since Januarywhen he got laid off, Boasters episodes
have been downloaded about ten million timesacross various platforms. And he doesn't even
have to write his own material.He slowly reads entire Wikipedia entries. Recent

(01:11:27):
gripping subjects include seahorse, utility,poll beard, pasta, and automated teller
machines. He said some people tellhim their big thing is can they stay
awake for the entire podcast? That'stheir challenge to themselves. Three two,
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three Atch had
Benson Show? Is your Twitter?Tweet at us? Text the program?

(01:11:50):
It can't all be serious? Canit? A lot of stuff? Get
to next hour if you missed anyof the show. Had a great interview
with a guy named Jeffrey Paul abouthis new book out about So it's going
basically on on college campuses in America'snew civil war, and how long this
has actually been in college campuses.We're gonna have replay some of that next

(01:12:10):
hour, and I'm telling you,guys, it is crazy. How long
this progressivism, this socialism, almostcommunism has been festering inside of our universities.
And if you think it's only beenfor a few decades, you are
absolutely wrong. It's an amazing interview. So we will play some of that
as well. More on Kathy Hocalsamazing black kids don't know what the word

(01:12:36):
computer means. Talk a little bitabout that as well. Three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show's your Twitter, It's Chad Benson, Chow. This is the Chad Benson
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson. Stormy Weather

(01:13:18):
ahead for the Donald. Prosecutors wantStormy Daniels to explain to the jury what
she alleged occurred between her and DonaldTrump back in two thousand and six at
an event in California. Trump deniesanything occurred, but Stormy Daniels said they
had a sexual encounter and on theeve of the twenty sixteen campaign, Michael

(01:13:42):
Cohen, Trump's fixer at the time, wired her one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars to keep quiet about it.Oh, obviously that didn't work. There's
a show on It was out severalyears ago. I'm talking probably fifteen maybe
more pimps up hosedown. It wasa documentary I think it was on HBO.

(01:14:04):
This one pimp there interview and there'slike, men don't pay women for
sex, men pay women to leave. Obviously that didn't work. Chad,
I'm just saying, how will Trump'steam take on Stormy? Expect the defense
to try and hammer away at StormyDaniels already happened her credibility. Remember she

(01:14:27):
denied having a sexual encounter with DonaldTrump before she said she did. And
so the defense I would expect isgoing to tell the jury you can't believe
anything. Stormy Daniels has said thather story has been consistent because it's true.
Wait, it's been consistent because it'strue. But she already said they
didn't have sex. Well, thatpart wasn't consistent. The truth part came

(01:14:49):
later. This is such a stupidcase. Oh my goodness, and again,
it's a misdemeanor case that they triedto turn into a felony and did
based on the fact that he wasgoing to commit other crimes, of which
those crimes have not yet been toldto anybody. They're super quiet. Meanwhile,

(01:15:11):
in the world of reality, we'vegot some issues in and around Mexico.
Let's start with the New Mexico.New Mexico. We want to show
you this new video from the southernborder in Sunland Park, New Mexico.
Just a few hours ago, ourcameras caught this group walking into the country
led by cartel guides. One borderpatrol agent there told our own Matt Finn
that mountain, which is in theUnited States isn't ours anymore. It belongs

(01:15:35):
to the cartels. That stretch ofthe border has been one of the busiest
sectors over this past week, withmore than one thousand people a day coming
across. Yeah you think, yeah, that stretch is the cartels right there,
and they're operating here, which isscary. I talked to border agents

(01:15:58):
almost every day. Was because alot of people I play pickleball with.
In fact, I would say fortyfifty percent of them are border agents.
In fact, I played in atournament this weekend for Border Agents, a
charity. Several friends around here thatlive around me also border agents, and
the stories they tell are at thejoke last week because I asked a few

(01:16:23):
of them, are you coming tothe charity event, They're like, now,
I got to work, and thenthey look to go. They both
said, I don't know why,because we're not stopping anybody anyways. The
frustration tremendous. No wonder they comeout and try to smatch the pickleball.
So we go from the New Mexicoto what's taking place in Old Mexico.
Be careful when you go down there, Mexican police see thirty year old American

(01:16:45):
Jack Carter Road and Australian brothers Jakeand Callum Robinson were found shot and killed
Friday after going missing late last monthin Baja California. Mexico. Authority said
Sunday that evidence points to three suspectswho appear to have attacked the tourist after
a carjacking attempt. Their burnt uptruck was found on a nearby farm last

(01:17:08):
week Fanas International Moment. The localprosecutor theorized that thieves likely wanted their truck's
tires, but said the men resisted. On Sunday, their families officially identified
the bodies, which were found dumpedinto a remote, fifty foot deep well.
The three men were on a surfingtrip near the popular coastal city of
Ensenada, but were camping in anisolated area outside of town. Yeah,

(01:17:33):
you've got to be careful when youknow other people's country in Mexico is becoming
more and more dangerous in certain areas. People like is the cartels. They
wanted the tires they didn't want thetruck. Truck was in great condition.
They wanted the tires of the truck, is what they're thinking. Going to
remote destinations sometimes it's great, butin certain situations that can work against you

(01:17:55):
where there's nobody around to be ableto help you. In case from former
LAPD detective Kevin Coffee says, travelinginternationally can be a risk. Once we
leave the soil of the good oldUSA, things are not always equal,
So having to deal with some ofthese ramifications be challenging. Sometimes police say
they're questioning three suspects in the case. Yeah, so, but a tragedy

(01:18:20):
they go down there, they're goingto surf they're living the life and dead
for what tires were they mistaken forsomebody. It's horrible, But it goes
to this, When you go toother people's countries, you need to know
all of the rules. You needto understand that you're no longer part of
the United States, where there arelaws. Their laws, what they do

(01:18:45):
is different. That couple that accidentally, that guy had his hunting bag with
him and he had a few casingsinside of his bag in Antigua and now
he's facing prison for how long.When you go to other people's countries,
you need to be aware of theirlaws. Case in point, Britney Grinder,

(01:19:05):
because joy Reid can't look through anylens without there being race or sexuality,
some sort of DEI insanity. Now, I want you to listen to
this. This is about Britney Grinder. She's coming out, she's talking about
all this stuff. Now, thisright here is the just her trying to
say. But Brittany didn't do iton purpose. It should never have been

(01:19:28):
in jail. It's to me,it's sort of shocking to think about spending
nearly a year far from home,wondering if you'll ever get out. Because
she was sentenced to nine years nineand a half years incarceration for what in
this country would amount to nothing,and for something that wasn't even deliberate.
But I think the Putin regime understoodthat they had not just a black celebrity,

(01:19:51):
a black queer celebrity, somebody whocould be used internally as upon somebody
who they could sort of internal mockand hold hostage from the United States,
knowing the trauma that it would causeback home. Really, again, she's
in a different country. Different countrieshave different laws. Do we have to

(01:20:12):
explain this to you? And doyou really think that's what they thought?
They're like, oh my god,if we snatch Britney Griner up, this
will send their entire country into afrenzy. Not only she's black, she's
tall. She's black. Oh mygod, it's tuble and she's queer.
Oh my god, this will justsend everybody through the roof and then enjoy

(01:20:34):
reads like but wouldn't have been abig deal if it was in the United
States. She wasn't in the UnitedStates. She was in Russia during a
war of which we are funding theother side. Maybe no, maybe no.
Of course they used her as apond. They're using anybody they can

(01:20:55):
as a pawn. They just caughtan American soldier who knows what they're gonna
do with him? Why are youover there? What are you doing?
All questions? You know how they'regonna spin it. He's a super spied.
They do have boots on the ground. They are fighting the West quick.
It's just you know what they're gonnado. But the thought of well,

(01:21:15):
she's a black queer celebrity, sothis is gonna upset America? What
three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four twenty three at
Chad Benson shows you here Twitter,A lot of you have been chiming in

Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sereno, what trapping? Let's
find out what's trending on the interwebson this beautiful Tuesday. I'm not I'm
really a fan of Tuesdays. Weknow that. Just deal with it.

(01:24:02):
Okay, it's Tuesday, all day, Tacos. Let's start with Google.
Lots of sports stuff and the Metnot the Met's the Met the Galley yesterday,
Timberwolf number one trending thing yesterday.Nick's Manchester United awful, awful.
I just want to say, you'reawful. Shame, shame. Rudy Gobert,

(01:24:23):
Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady Starliner launch. So they were gonna fire something
and this was Boeing's version of SpaceXand whatnot. And then they're like,
yeah, no, all the waydown at number seven Rafa Israel. Think
about that for Google, all theseother things people are searching for where is

(01:24:44):
Rafa as they go in Israel?In an absolute is what is going to
happen there? And I'm talking aboutthe battles. And we've talked a lot
today about the people in the strugglethere, the famine, the nightmare that
the average person is going through.I'm not talking about Hamas fighters because you

(01:25:05):
know they're doing okay except for thepart that they're gonna die. The battle
that is going to happen there isgoing to be everywhere. I've seen every
general that has been in and outof the theaters of war have all said
this potentially has a chance of beingsome of the worst, if not the

(01:25:28):
worst, we have seen in moderntimes, because this is not like what
we're seeing in Russia and Ukraine,where it's you know, we would say
it's kind of an old school,right, It's a battle over land,
this is tunnels, this is urbanwarfare. This is going to be awful.
But that's all the way down atseven. Then you've got a lot
of stuff about the met Gala Fone hundred Miami. Did you see how

(01:25:48):
expensive the food was there? Wemight get to that towards the end of
it. If you don't know whatFormula one is, it's not This is
not Nascar, this is not youknow, nhr A, this is not
stock car any of that stuff.Formula one is for the wealthy, right,
the haves and have nots. Ifyou're in Formula one, you're a

(01:26:10):
half. But same thing for thepeople to go to watch Formula one.
It makes the Indie five hundred looklike it's the poorest race out there.
The cost of food at Miami Formulaone race was insane. I'll just put
it away. Nachos were one hundredand eighty dollars. What head over to

(01:26:30):
h Yahoo, Met Gala, BoeingStarliner, NFL schedule deal or no deal?
Island. We're on an island,though, Why don't we just be
honest with ourselves. Okay, wewant to do this, we want to
have We're like, we're afraid tosay it, but somebody's gonna do it.
We want one of those kind ofsituation where we have a Hunger Games,
right or Lord of the Flies we'renot quite there yet. We're making

(01:26:51):
a game, but we're getting close. We're getting close. Donald Trump talked
about that throughout the day. He'sbegging people. He's gone, go do
it. I dare you, Idare you. What have we been saying
about? You know, the wholeTrump thing in the trial is he is
doing everything he can to push allthe buttons because he wants to see if

(01:27:12):
this judge will do it. Andpolitically it would be a massive win.
For a minute, it sounds weird. Putting him in jail would be a
win. It would be. Itwould be. And finally on Twitter,
mess excitement on Twitter, met gallonnumber one trending thing. Kathy Holkeel trending.
If you don't know who she is, she is the governor of New
York and she said something yesterday whichshows you so much of what you need

(01:27:35):
to know about Democrats. And therewas yeah, the yell at you Republicans.
You consider it as you're the mostracist people in the world. I'm
like, okay, okay, butwe'll play for you in a minute.
What she said. It just showsyou how they look at people of color,
people of color, and what theythink of them. Pat Riley basketball

(01:27:58):
coach. He had some heated wordsand in exchange with a press person yesterday
as well, it's nurses Week,Manchester United, all trending and of course
our good friend and yours Christino.Every time you turn around and we just
played a little bit, there's somesort of nightmare of her, from the

(01:28:19):
killing of the dog to now havingto take out like oh yeah, yeah,
we had to take out all thisstuff in the book about Kim Jong
un. Did you meet him?I've already answered that question. You didn't
really answer the question. You didread it in the audiobook, but you
didn't answer the question of whether youmet him, because now everybody's saying you
didn't meet him. Yeah. Bythe way, Kathy Hockel, if you

(01:28:44):
want to hear what she said,this is racism in the way that the
Democrats approach it, which is,anybody who is a person of color is
a victim and therefore not bright enoughto understand the modern society of which we
live, even though I know youare, Oh my goodness, young black

(01:29:04):
kids growing up in the Bronx whodon't even know what the word a computer
is. They don't know, theydon't know these things and I want the
world open up to all of them, because when you have their diverse voices
innovating solutions through technology, then you'rereally dressing society's broader challenges. So if

(01:29:25):
you're a young black kid, youdon't know what the word computer is,
just like you can't get a licensebecause you don't know how to get a
license. You don't know how toget on the internet. You know,
Oh, my lord, keep votingDemocrat and they'll keep treating you like victims.
And I know that's really not whatyou want. Hence the reason why
for all the nightmare that's going onin Trump's world, he still is leading
in a vast majority of polls,including those swing states, especially making headways

(01:29:51):
when it comes to Black Americans,because well, he doesn't go do you
guys know what the word computer means? Three? Two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twentythree At Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter coming up next? Wedid an interview played it earlier. I
think it's worth playing again. Allthe chaos on college campuses that it's going

(01:30:12):
on right now we need to payattention to. And a gentleman by the
name of Jeffy Ball has a newbook out about how this got to our
shores, this Marxism, and itcame here over a century ago and it's
really now just picking up steam.We're going to talk to Himster had Chad
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This

(01:31:00):
is Chad Benson. Earlier today wespoke with Jeffrey Paul, who is a
researcher at the University of West Virginia. He is also an author, and
I think it's important that we listento it. These are excerpts of our
conversation, which was quite long infact, and we're going to post the
entire thing on all of our socialmedia, but I think it's important to

(01:31:25):
listen to it. This is hisnew book out titled Winning America's Second Civil
War, Progressivism's authoritarian Threat, whereit came from, and how to defeat
it. And I will tell youthis right now, it's been around a
lot longer. On college campuses,This progressivism, this nightmare that we're seeing,
has been around for quite a while. Here's a bit of the interview.
All right, Jeffrey, what's goingon college campuses? Nobody should be

(01:31:46):
surprised if you pay any attention towhat happens. My god, it's good
for the book. I'm sure right. Yeah, It's been coming for much
longer than most Americans realize. Indeed, probably all Americans realize, including the
academics who have precipitated this. Whathappened in the United States was the United

(01:32:10):
States is a singular country in thecharacter of its founding. It was founded
on specific principles that had never beeninvoked in human history before and haven't been
invoked since. The principles upon whichhe was founded were these, that nature

(01:32:30):
gives every human being an entitlement ofproperty, right in themselves and therefore in
their liberty, and therefore in thefruits of their labor. And governments are
needed only to protect those rights,and never to violate them. A government

(01:32:51):
which violates them is as criminal asan individual who violates them. So the
United States for its first one hundredyears reflected that, and indeed we fought
a civil war to defend those principlesand free the people who had been enslaved,

(01:33:13):
and government was minimal. It wasthe government that was described in the
Constitution. And then something happened,And it happened shortly after the Civil War
in the eighteen seventies. We're talkingto Jeffrey Paul. He's an author's new
books called Winning America's Second Civil War, Progressive authoritarian Threat, Where it came

(01:33:34):
from, and how to defeat it? All Right, So you talk about
it in a sense inside of thebook about you know, this didn't happen
overnight, and it hasn't been herefor just a couple of years or decades.
This has been here for a while. When did it start and how
did it start? Presidents of Americancolleges decided they wanted to convert these colleges

(01:33:56):
into research universities. The faculty todo that would have to have doctorates.
Doctorates weren't routinely given at American universitiesthe faculty. No one on the faculty
had doctorates. There were one ortwo exceptions, and so they had to
import faculty who had doctorates. Theonly country that had had doctoral programs for

(01:34:23):
about two hundred years was Germany.So the idea was that they would have
Americans study at German universities, getdoctorates at German universities, and then give
them positions in American colleges and universities, and that would upgrade dramatically American universities.

(01:34:46):
Talking to Jeffrey Paul about his newbook that is out very interesting with
all this going on in the worldof colleges. I'm telling you, guys,
it is a hell of a read. So we talk about the fact
that you know, here you are, jeff You're talking about the fact that
we went over we found you know, doctors, you know, who could
teach all of the sciences and everythinglike that. But then it was really

(01:35:08):
one country, the office. It'sGermany. They come here, they are
trained over there, and they findout, oh wait, our system is
totally different than anything that is outthere. And I love what you talk
about in the book, how theyfaced our system, what they actually thought
of it. This first generation ofGerman trained Americans had this elite view of

(01:35:31):
themselves and had nothing but contempt andattacked the founding principles. So the universities
were transformed morally and politically in thelast quarter of the nineteenth century, between
about eighteen seventy six and nineteen hundred. The faculty was also then given all

(01:35:55):
powers of hiring and firing that thosewere transferred from the president and therefore in
the social sciences and the humanities.They trained everyone, but they trained everyone
through a particular political and moral prism. It was the antithesis of that of

(01:36:15):
the founders. Talking to Jeffrey Paulabout his new book, which I think
hits right at home, what's goingon in college campuses and this has been
a long time coming. His newbook is called Winning America's Second Civil War.
Progressivism authoritarian threats, where it comesfrom, and how to defeat it.
In the book, one of thethings I found so interesting is the
fact that you know, these areall socialists. They don't say they're socialists

(01:36:40):
when they come here because they knowthat is not going to hit well,
whether it's on American campuses or inAmerican life. In Germany, they would
have been called and were called statesocialists. It was a good term in
Germany, but in America it wouldnever have been a good term, and
so they needed to that would disguisetheir views to the public. And the

(01:37:02):
term they chose they borrowed from aGerman political party, the progress Party,
and they called themselves Progressives. That'swhere progressivism comes from. Outside of the
universities, people were completely unaware thatthis transformation had taken place. If they
heard about it. They heard thatit was an enormous upgrade to the universities.

(01:37:27):
The effect of this transformation, however, was the following Since more and
more people attended college and universities inthe twentieth century. By many times,
what were the numbers that were goingto colleges and universities in the nineteenth century.

(01:37:47):
The graduates, undergraduates and so onfrom these institutions came out with very
different moral views and political views thantheir predecessors. They didn't realize they'd been
indoctrinated, but they had. Andyou can read individual stories of how this

(01:38:10):
happened. Talking to author Talking toauthor Jeffrey Paul about his new book Winning
America, Second Civil War, Progressivisms, authoritarian Threat, where it came from,
and how to defeat it now,Jeffrey inside of the book, and
It's the one thing that I've beenfascinated about is, you know, we
think of this stuff from you know, maybe forty years ago. The reality

(01:38:30):
is this has been around for overa century. And I think that would
shock a lot of people to know. People think that the universities are what
they would call left wing and haveonly become left wing in maybe the last
thirty or forty or fifty years.That's not the case. They've been exactly
the way they are today since nineteenhundred and survey after survey after survey of

(01:38:58):
the political opinions of faculty confirm that. Yeah, because I think most people
do every think that it came fromthis sixties and seventies kind of out of
you know, the French philosophy,the intersectionality. All of this stuff is
kind of where we get it fromthis modern world. And really it's only
taken foothold here since like the seventiesand eighties. But you're saying it goes

(01:39:20):
back such a long way, whichis crazy. Yeah, that's an empirical
fact because they began to do surveysin the nineteen fifties, formal surveys,
and those were done by academics,and what it showed was that the United
States had effectively a one party university. I mean, the first person who

(01:39:43):
observed this and wrote about it andhis book became a scandal to university academics
was William F. Buckley god Manat Yale, and he said, why
are things like this? Why iseveryone in the economics department on the left?
And then as I said, therewere these surveys done over and we
continue to be done today, andwhat they've revealed is that the universities today

(01:40:09):
are really secular churches. That's basicallywhat they are. And you're only going
to get one point of view.There are no others. There are a
few people sprinkled here and there.And therefore what's happened is the people who
graduated from universities, who've graduated sincenineteen hundred have been on the left.

(01:40:30):
So they transformed journalism and the media, they transformed constitutional law, and they've
transformed the entire culture, and weare now in an extremely perilous place in
our history. Where do we gofrom here? Because you know your book
is about how you know, howwe take this thing on? What do
you think the number one thing isthat we should do when we understand what's

(01:40:53):
going on and how to combat this, Transforming the universities is going to be
exceedingly difficult, although I do makesome proposals about what can be done.
In part, there have been somereforms in the state of Ohio, in
Florida, in North Carolina. Thoseshould be emulated elsewhere, and they basically

(01:41:17):
just affect state universities. But becauseI feel that we're in such a perilous
condition, I feel there has tobe a majority of voters behind probably the
only party that can and this isnot to say they're perfect in any way,
but the only party which will extricateit, which has a possibility of

(01:41:40):
saving us at extricating us for thetrajectory we're on, would be the Republicans.
Books called Winning America's Second Civil War, Progressivism, authoritarian threat, where
it came from, and how todefeat it. Jeffrey Paul. Appreciate you
coming on today and we look forwardto the book. Everybody go out and
buy it, and it's scary,but you're facing a real threat. Thank
you very much for having me.I really appreciate it. Great interview right

(01:42:04):
there, Jeffrey Paul. That's excerptsfrom our interview we did earlier, and
it's incredible. We're going to postthe whole thing on our Facebook the show
page, as we talked about thepersonal pagement attacks, but the show page
is up as well as Twitter anda few other places. We'll post this
because I think you need to hearit all. And he breaks down even

(01:42:27):
the economic side of it as well. Which I find fascinating. We need
to pay attention more so than ever. But has been here for a while.
This chaos we're seeing on campusiness isnot some sort of spontaneous overnight over
the last decade or two. Nope, this has been brewing for over a
century and here we are three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:44:15):
not the country, the institution,The Chad Benson Show. So I
flew the Vegas on Jet Blue lastnight. When I got on the plane
and sat down, and I noticedthat the flight attendant sitting right in front
of me the jump seat was wearinga Free Palestine pin, also a Black
Lives Matter pen and another pin.I don't remember what I upset me,
but I decided, you know what, I'm not. I'm not going to
say anything. It's not worth thedebate. Girl next to me sits down.

(01:44:36):
She's a Jewish and might have beenfrom Israel. It upset her too,
but I was like, you knowwhat, it's not worth it.
Let it go. So op didnot this say anything? And that is
a passenger on Jet Blue. Whyare they upset because there's a free Palestine
pin? Oh, it's better.And the flight attendant put on an apron
and decided to move the free Palestinepin to the apron, not the Black

(01:44:58):
Lives Matter the other pin. Shewas wearing the free pass that one,
and I took it as she wasdoing it on purpose. I walked up
to the front and I said tothe lead I said, are you all
leave? Flight attendant said yeah.I said, look, I just want
to tell you I'm a frequent flyerand Mosaic member. It was just upsetting
that, you know, she worethat. And then then she changed that
one to the front of the apron, not the others, And she said,
okay, I'll speak with her.I said, you know what,
I don't want there to be anissue. Maybe you know, speak with

(01:45:20):
her, but not now. Maybeyou speak of her after we leave the
plane, maybe later on, justtalk about it. Maybe a little incentive.
Maybe if you're uncomforable. Yeah,you would think. By the way,
stay away from politics in your business, unless your business is actual politics
itself. Continue sir So. Iget up to when we land to get
off the plane, and as I'mwalking off the plane, she's sitting there
with someone and she goes him he'sthe other one, now, sir So,

(01:45:41):
I keep walking and he goes,Sir, I'm like me yi,
He goes, I need to speakwith you about what the disturbance She calls
on the airplane. I'm like,I don't know what you're talking about it
because you just cause the disturbance onthe aircraft or pilot called down. I
said, I didn't cause any disturbance. He said, I'm I'm going to
call Metro PD. Oh it's gettingugly again. Stay away from politics so

(01:46:01):
you feel uncomfortable or the person nextyou thought that's a little weird bringing the
politics, especially something like that,you know, Free Palestine and Black lives
Matter and whatnot. You say,you know, just it makes some people
feel uncomfortable, which in today's world, remember, as long as it's a
Jew, feel free to make themfeel uncomfortable. Continue continue, sir so,

(01:46:23):
we get some inform when he callsthe police, and he says,
I'm standing here with the pastor thatcalls the disturbance on our flight. Once
he said that, I just walkedaway. I was not going to sit
there while he makes up. Wise, So I get up this morning and
I decided to check my Jet Blueapp. They canceled my flight home,
but out telling me no notice,they canceled my return ticket. Yeah,
same as Paul Fauss. He's afifty four year old telecom entrepreneur from Parkland,

(01:46:45):
Florida, and he is not happyabout this. Other people are saying
there was no disturbance. There wasnothing like that. Somebody didn't like the
fact that they had at differing pointof view. So I called the mosaic
line as speak to a supervisor saidto me, she's reading the notes.
It said, mister caused the disturbanceon the flight. Did not listen to
flight crew instructions, didn't listen tosupervisor that met him at the gate,

(01:47:11):
had no communication with this flight attendantwhatsoever. I specifically told the lead flight
attendant that I didn't want her tospeak to her while I was on the
plane because I didn't want them tobe a distruction. So they have lied
canceled my flight home. This isJet Blue. It's one thing that happened
on college campus when the kids aregoing to look they're doing this is now
a corporation right or wrong allows anemployee to wear that pin, but it
then allows them to treat a customerthat way and cancel my flight without telling

(01:47:36):
me. Not a good look jetBlue. Not a good look at all.
By the way, already calls toboycott Jet Blue. This is not
working out well for them. Howmany times we talked about it earlier with
the hem ceo hymns and hers.Stay away from politics. It's the best
that you can do. Tell yourpeople stay away from politics. Three two,
three, five, three eight,twenty four to twenty three at jet
menton show, it's your Twitter.How about some stupid information? And then

(01:47:59):
I go and small I say somethingstupid. It all take stupid pills this
morning. It's the honest ones youwant to watch out for, because you
can never predict they're gonna do somethingincredibly stupid. Now you're the fat,
stupid one with the big mouth,is stupid little as you should never underestimate
the predictability of stupiditing. Now it'stime for stupid information. Dazzle your friends

(01:48:30):
with this one. Genghis Khan orJenghis Khan, depending on how you want
to call it. The Mongol leader, who is the greatest conquer arguably of
all time, had the largest landmass contiguous and land mass in history,
set up a postal service. Thatway he could get messages from one end
to another. Think of it kindof like the Pony Express. So while
he was conquering, killing, anddestroying, he also said, we need

(01:48:54):
to get messages placed. Oh soif you guys want to set up a
postal service, that'll be fit fantastic. It was called yam So how about
apples? That are those apples?Solid fun show today three two, three,
