(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. We are one week
away from the Great Debate Debate.Debate. Trump is different. Trump is

(00:30):
completely different compared to what Trump normallyis. Just mombastic, says all kinds
of wild things at times. Anentertainer first and foremost in many ways,
but serious. Underestimate him at yourown peril. Maggie Hamberman talking about this.

(00:52):
It's a person who's not a fanof Trump but understands that, Hey,
you guys all think that this isgoing to be a walk in the
part and Trump's going to come outand screw everything up at this debate,
you're fooling yourselves. Trump is takingthis more seriously than people allow publicly,
right, I mean in public hisaids off and downplay the prep that he
does. He's been doing not standarddebate prep. He doesn't have stand ins

(01:17):
as of now for Biden in thesedebates, so he's not doing mock debates.
He's not doing mock debates. No, that could certainly change. But
he's been doing what they've been describingas policy time, where they bring in
different people to brief him. Abunch of senators have come in last week's
Senator Marco Rubeu and Senator Eric Schmidtboth briefed him at the RNC headquarters after
his meetings with lawmakers around Capitol Hill. Oh that is a little different,

(01:42):
right. We just think he justwings it, which he does. Let's
be real. Trump loves winging.I love doing There's no doubt that he
does. But I'm going to tellyou guys, this the ground game that
Trump has put together in the fielddifferent than so many other things that we've

(02:05):
seen in the past when it comesto Trump. Secondly, he has surrounded
himself with actual people who understand thepolitical campaigning side the way that Trump didn't
do before. He is he understands. Look, I I I I got
to change some things. He's stillgoing to be the fighter. He's still

(02:27):
going to be Trump, but thereare certain things that I have to do
and I have to show more disciplinein And I think everybody thinks that he's
just going to show up the youknow, the mainstream media, and he's
just going to just do say allkinds of way. It's not. It's
not the same. This is different. He's taking this in a much different
way because I think he recognizes thatfirst debate last time was a disaster.

(02:51):
Second bait debate was okay. Buthe understands the opportunity here next Thursday.
If he runs in circles around Bidenand vice versa, Biden runs circles around
him. I don't think that's gonnahappen. What that could do and what
that could look like. They arefocusing on various issues that could come up,
abortion, healthcare, COVID, andthen very specifically, and this was

(03:14):
one thing that came up last Thursday. What Trump will say when asked January
sixth related questions, particularly his statementsabout hardening some of the people who were
arrested in connection with the violence ofthat day, Well, he tried to
be vague and not be pinned downon whether he'll pardon them all. What
they are hoping he is going tosay, and again who knows what he'll
actually say, but what they're hopinghe is going to say is some version

(03:35):
of you know, it depends onthe case. He has left it much
broader in the past and said he'lllikely pardon people again across the board.
Policy matters. Policy matters so much. You know what we talked about yesterday.
What are they focusing on in alot of the media world, and

(03:55):
I'm not talking about journalism. Let'sseparate the twojournalistic people who are serious about
journalism, who want to give youthe who, what, when, how,
and why. It's a different worldout there. Those people don't exist
the way they used to, andpartly because they can't make it living it.
I'm talking about the twenty four hournews cycle kind of media where it's

(04:15):
all about opinion because you have toshout the loudest all of those things.
What are those people focusing on?Focusing on Trump? Because he's interesting.
Second thing is, and this isimportant, what Trump says is the part
that gets the people riled up,that gets the clicks and like, not
the policy or what he does.Those things are separate. Trump doesn't like

(04:39):
prep. I mean, he considersit school. So the fact that they've
gotten him to do it this wayis actually pretty revealing and also speaks to
the fact that I think he knowsthat this has to go well for him.
He has said to people multiple timesthat he knows that he interrupted too
much in the first debate with Bidenin twenty twenty, but Biden could barely
get a word in edgewise and Bidenwas kind of smiling throughout as this was
happening, because, like I've alwayssaid, with Trump, he could talk

(05:02):
himself into a fight with his ownchadow in a dark room. He doesn't
want to do that again. Thelast couple weeks have been the best weeks
of what Trump could potentially be politicallywhen he's on the stage, when he's
doing stuff. Yes, he stillhas his moments where he's like, oh,

(05:23):
woes me. It's understandable, keepit simple, stupid. The thing
that got him the win in twentysixteen is while he did take on some
of the cultural issues and a lotof the other stuff and said the stuff
that made Trump who he is,he always went back to jobs, economy

(05:44):
policy, stuff that matters to theaverage person. Chuck Todd Donald Trumps rhetoric
even and even his sort of swaggerlooks more like twenty sixteen than he looks
in twenty twenty. And when Trump'slosing, the worst version of Trump shows
up. And when Trump's or hethinks he's ahead, he's actually a different
person, a different candidate. DonaldTrump and Detroit and those events he did,

(06:05):
he was oddly loose. He wastrying to be funny where from about
twenty seventeen to twenty twenty two andeven twenty twenty three, through the primaries,
it's been nothing but angry grievance.Trump angry, angry, angry.
It's interesting if he somehow drops thegrievance, he could end up looking more
like that twenty sixteen candidate where he'sthe outside disruptor. He has to drop

(06:29):
the grievance. Not saying you don'ttalk about it, because I don't think
that's fair to ask him and henot to talk about some of that stuff,
because I think part of that iswhat makes Trump who he is.
You just can't make it all aboutyou and the grievances. It's about the
people. Focus on the economy,Focus on the rampant illegal immigration, Focus

(06:56):
on the chaos going on around theworld. Focus on the things that matter
to the people, in particular theindependence because you need them, the independence,
the disgruntled Republicans and the fed upDemocrats. Focus on the policy side
of it. You're still going tobe Trump. But if you have a

(07:18):
two hour speech, which again wealways talk about, you know, well,
Trump's losing it. Trump will goon stage for two hours and do
two hours basically of speech, ofstand up, of all kinds of stuff.
Where do you get that with Biden? No, you don't focus on
the stamina side of things. Focuson those things, be forward thinking in

(07:40):
that, and you watch what happens. If not, No, I still
think there's a still whether people wantto believe it's not. There's still a
good chance Biden wins this because ofthe incumbtence come and see, and because
everybody is waiting for you to scrowup. But if you keep it policy
bound in so many ways, whichis tough, because that's the thing about

(08:01):
Trump. What makes Trump Trump alsohurts Trump. He makes things way harder
than they need to be. Theeconomy stupid is Number one. Found this
interesting about eating out. Chris Breedenowns a century old restaurant and says soaring
food prices are making dining out morechallenging. Things are definitely more expensive to

(08:22):
eat out, which is pretty regrettable. Well, the consumer price in Deck
shows grocery price is now leveling out. Breden says that's not what he's seeing,
but he's looking for ways to keepcosts down for diners. You can't
just pass on a doubling of theprice of French fries, for example,
to the consumer, because nobody's goingto be paying seventy eight dollars for a

(08:43):
side of French fries. That meanssmaller or fewer side items right there.
Things like that. I know thatsix months ago we would talk about we
hear about the economy that I goplaces and I'm like, man, these
places are packed. Now. What'sgotten to the point where everything is so
expensive? People are picking and choosingcertain days, not eating out as much.

(09:05):
But that being said, sticker shockstill at the grocery store. So
it's like, damned if you do. Damned if you don't keep it where
people want to be because they arethere, i e. Immigration, which
you're always there, and economy talk, jobs talk, economy talk those things.

(09:31):
That's what people want to hear.Yeah, they enjoy the fighting every
once in a while. On thepushback, We're okay with that. Who
shouldn't be I expect that. Butif that is all your campaign's going to
be, is woes me. That'sa tough road to overcome when people are
seriously going, hey, just takemy family out once in a while.
Now I have to take a secondout just to go to the movies.

(09:54):
Kristen Bailey meantime owns a food trucksweets and meets barbecue. She's cut back
on expensive items to keep her priceis affordable. With proteins being so high,
was an item like brisket, I'mlosing forty percent of what I'm actually
paying for. Hospitality management professor DavidCorson says higher utility bills also drive menu
prices up, and softening demand isforcing some owners to rethink hours of operation.

(10:16):
What we've seen is a concentration ofdining out that's basically Thursday through Saturday.
Chris Breden just hope diners understand thatrestaurants are not price gouging. There's
just like a perfect storm brew andlabor cost is up, cost the foods
up. Yeah, labor costs isa huge issue depending on where you live

(10:39):
in the country. You're seeing that, California being one. I was reading
Bill illusion To does all the greatimmigration stuff. Says he goes to Hkamba,
which is near San Diego. It'swhere he does a lot of his
reporting right now, especially because immigrationis running wild there, illegal immigration,
and he says, we go tothis subway, we see the same people
every day and there is no longera tip function to tip them. And

(11:01):
he asked why, and he said, well, because labor cross is so
high they don't want to have thecustomers tipping anymore. People feel that and
see that. Make that the issue. Make the economy the issue, Make
the border the issue. Make unrestaround the globe the issue. Those are
the things that matter. Policy matters. Personality, You're always going to have

(11:26):
that, but make policy the numberone thing. That's a win right there.
We'll see because next week we area week away, can you plaly

Joe. You're listening to the ChadBenson Show. I always wonder how Trump
supporters are going to be able tolook their kids in the eye after voting

(13:16):
for him in twenty twenty four,Like they're gonna sit their kids down and
it's gonna go like, Hey,John, Hey Sarah, So you know
I just voted for a convicted fellonDonald Trump. I tell you guys to
follow the rules, but this isthe exception. And he doesn't care about
the biggest issue facing your generation,climate change, the one you guys care
about most. And he didn't makeany investments in your future the first time
he was president. But I hadto support him. I love him so

(13:37):
much. Dah, look at that, John and Sarah, how do you
guys feel about that? How dareyou climate change? He's not doing it.
Guys, he's not fixing the climatechange. You're gonna have to tape
yourself to something. Oh, wegot some good climate change stories coming up.
Why are you messing with Stonehenge?This is a TikTok influencer, tiktoking
and influencing John and Sarah. Ihad to vote for a convicted felon.

(14:01):
I had to. It's a mustbecause the other guy was not well.
What you should be saying is,hey, John and Sarah, we're sorry
that at the end of the day, we only had two choices, of
which none we were happy with.But because the system is the way the
system is, this is what wewere stuck with. Person who was mentally

(14:24):
struggling and it was getting worse.And the person behind him is an idiot.
And Sarah, Yeah, Donald Trumptook away your reproductive rights, brags
about doing it. He also braggedon audio about assaulting women and then was
held liable in court for sexually abusinga woman. And the Republicans vote against
protecting the right to contraception and protectingIVF. But I just love Trump And

(14:46):
oh John, Yeah, So allthose student loans you have, they're about
to be forgiven by President Biden becausehe's forgiven more student loans than any president
before him. Yeah, no,can't do anymore. I guess I had
to vote for Trump. That's exactlyhow the conversation is going to go.
How are you gonna sit down andhave that conversation with your kids with a
straight face? Simple, Hey,Sarah, don't get pregnant, period,

(15:07):
case close, end of story.Hey John, don't get anybody pregnant.
And if you take out loans,pay those loans back. That's the way
it should be. Constitutionally, we'regonna do this. Hey, hey guys,
we're gonna do this the constitution.He's out there. Constitutionally, he
can't just forgive stuff. It's notthe way that works, because if he

(15:28):
was just going to forgive stuff,what's to stop him from forgiving anything else?
Just to get votes? Your mortgageand oh yeah, you just can't.
The minute you can vote yourself stuff, kids, is the minute that
you can destroy democracy? Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenson Show. Is your Twitter?
It is the Chadbinson Show. Alot of stuff still to get to.

(15:52):
More on the Ten Commandments. Mousejiggling? What is that? It's not
some sort of new thing that's goingon out there with the youth of America
as far as like juggling them ordo anything crazy. It's not some other
wacky thing that the kids are usingas language. Nope, it's something that
people have been doing for a while. Since you've had a chance to work
at home. Wells Fargo said youshouldn't do that. We'll talk a bit

(16:15):
about that. What is looks Maxing? Am, I looks Maxing. I
don't know even know what that is. You'll find out kids. The looks
maxing thing is very interesting and youwant to be an influencer. Wall Street
Journal has a great, great,great article about the influencers. How much
money do they really make? Arethey making a ton? Are they making

(16:38):
none? You will be surprised andmaybe not so surprised. We will talk
about that and a lot of otherthings. You are listening to the Chad
Benson Shoe Son, Chad Benson,Joe Independents, Independent Life. This is

(18:03):
Chad Benson. This bill mandates thedisplay of the Ten Commandments in every classroom
in public, elementary, secondary,and post education schools in the State of
Louisiana. Because if you want torespect the rule of law, you got
to start from the original law gift, which was Moses. They're right there
is Louisiana Governor. I don't knowif you're aware of this. Republican Jeff
Landry signed in the law requiring publicschools the state of Louisiana display a copy

(18:30):
of the Ten Commandments. What doyou think is going to happen? ACLU
has already said they're going to suit. I mean, is this a violation
of the first Amendments, Operation ofChurch and State. Maybe maybe not.
I mean, that's for courts todecide. I don't have a particular problem
with this. If somebody wants tohang up a piece of paper in a
school room that says, you know, hey, kids, don't murder,
don't steal, don't lie, andrespect your parents. You know, that

(18:51):
doesn't bother me. I'm not outhere crusading for it, and I certainly
don't think public school teachers should bepreachers. But you know, these are
the fundamental tenets of Western civilisation.They kind of underpin, you know,
our entire criminal justices. I mean, look, if they're part of a
historical display, if they're hanging upthere next to their Constitution, the Mayflower
Compact, the Declaration of Independence,I don't have a problem with it.
Do you have a problem with it? I think some of you out there

(19:14):
will. I think some of youout there won't. Uh, it doesn't
bother me. I mean, ifyou want to put up again historical if
you want to put up all ofthe stuff, you want to put up
the cran, all these things.Here's the thing. I don't want anybody
preaching to my kids, except forthe preacher it's it. Is there worse
things to have up? Yeah,because I also don't want teachers advocating for

(19:37):
a lot of stuff, pride flags, black Lives matter flags, any kind
of thing that you know, Ijust know, it's just it used to
be. You go in, there'sthe American flag, maybe the state flag,
depending on what state you're in,and that was it. Few other
things hanging but nothing political, nothingreligious. But I think here's my thing.

(20:00):
Is there going to be an issuewith if you're hanging up a bunch
of other things, and you know, the whole thing is the First Amendment
violation. Now you're forcing them todo it, mandating it, that's a
different story. But this will bean interesting thing. And again, the
battle for the heart and soul ofthis country is going on. Let's talk

(20:22):
about democracy dies in darkness. Allthe stuff continue. I do think it's
sort of amusing that there are peopleout here so enraged by this today who
at the same time would love touse public schools and public libraries and other
public facilities to distribute information that morematches their own agenda. So I think
people are overreacting to this, andthe courts are going to have to get
involved and see what the interpretation ofthe laws are. I wouldn't be surprised

(20:45):
if they strike it down, andthen it'll be appealed and eventually probably get
to the Supreme Court, and thenof course that maga Supreme Court will destroy
it everything because they're evil and bJames Carvell, But what do you make
hast new law in your homestate management? We need to hail Mary and I
don't know which one are gonna putup. There has ten different versions of
the Ten Commandments, and our schoolsare so underfunded that I'm not sure I

(21:07):
have the kids even know how toread them. It's one of the dumbest
wasted times ever seen in my life. By the way, underfunded is that
that always makes me laugh. Youknow our schools are underfunded, are they?
When you look at per pupil?So when you go and it's funny
when they always talk about, youknow, we just don't spend enough on
schools, it's don't we never spendenough? And you go, look at
okay they're talking about the GDP,Go look at what we spend per pupil

(21:30):
though we spend so much and arewe getting anything for it? Maybe not?
We're going to talk about extreme schoolinglater on. Uh, and that's
very interesting, the extreme schooling whereyou kind of let your kid do their
own thing. Oh no way.Yeah, it's very interesting. But I

(21:52):
think this will eventually get the SupremeCourt, and the Supreme Court goes,
you can't do this, and thenwe all move on with ourselves. It's
a battle. So much of whatis done in politics is basically theater.
When we was talking about Kabooki theaterand all that kind of stuff, it
is so much, you know,theatrics, because you're trying to do what

(22:14):
you're trying to You're trying to impresscertain people. You're trying to do certain
Now you may have that belief,but some people take it too far.
And part of that is because youknow you can't do this, but you
do it anyways, because it's aboutpleasing in many cases a certain group of
people on the internet that will supposedlycheer for you. Oh wow. We're
talking about the debate earlier, andI said that Trump needs to stop this

(22:37):
insanity of always making a you know, all of his grievouses about the way
he's treated. We tell everybody whoinvite everybody, you can go to the
text line and you can leave amessage. You don't have to just text
there. Three two three five threeeight Chad three two three five three eight
Chad. And I think if Trumpreally wants to win this, and I
think he does, I don't thinkthis is performed. I think he really

(23:00):
wants to win this. And youknow, Maggie Haverman, a bunch of
other people out there in you know, on the liberal side of the media,
aren't Trump supporters are saying, Hey, he's taking this far more serious
than people realize. It can't beall about his grievances. Some people disagree.
I think Trump has every right toair his grievances. He should be

(23:21):
angry at the Department of Justice,the politication of this, the way they've
gone about treating him. He shouldbe out there talking about that economy matters.
But he has every right to beangry at what's happened to him.
Thank you, you're welcome. Iwant to hear from you. You can
leave a message three two three fivethree eight Chad three two three five three

(23:45):
eight twenty four to twenty three.He does have every right to be pissed
and angry at some of the stuffthere's no doubt about that. But that
doesn't affect my life. What doesis the economy, What does is what's
going on around the globe, Whatdoes is immigration. Those things matter more
to the average person and the personthat you know, that person right there

(24:08):
is going to vote for Trump.The person that you need to vote for
you though, the independence, thepeople out there that are disgruntled Democrats and
frustrated because the Democrats have went toofar, or the Republicans who can't stand

(24:29):
a lot of what Trump is butrealize that it's much worse in their mind
for Biden, which is understandable.So while they don't want Trump, they're
not sure they're going to vote,they're sure not voting for Biden. You're
going to have to try to swaythose people, and that matters. So
yeah, yeah, understand, you'vegot a right to be pissed and angry

(24:51):
and the grievances. We get that, but you also have to take in
to account the people that you're tryingto sway and win, those five hundred
thousand people or so through several states, those swing states. What matters to
them, that's the most important thing. Now what matters to you, It's

(25:11):
one of the things I always talkabout to advertisers when i'm I'm you know,
when my other company we do certainthings and with advertisers, and I
say, it's not about you,It's about the customer. And that's the
same thing. Like my uncle hetaught me this long time ago when he

(25:32):
was in the big video game industry, and World of Warcrafts is one of
his games he designed, and Diabloand all these things. And at the
time, Blizzard was a much tiniercompany than it is now, and the
way they approached things was it wasalways about the consumer. It was never

(25:52):
about the people designing the game.It's why Hollywood's gone sideways. They've made
it about them and not the peopleconsuming what they're putting out. And you
can't do that. So Trump's gotto look at it like, what do
the people care about? The peoplethat show up and love you, They
don't care about anything else except foryou. You've got them. What about

(26:15):
the person that's unsure, that's theperson that you need to win over,
That's the person that you need toget either back in your camp or in
your camp for the first time.What about that person? What do they
care about your grievances mean nothing notto them. Oh yeah, I could

(26:37):
see that. What about Black America? If the election was tomorrow, would
you vote for Trump or Biden?Oh? Trump, I'll vote for him
yesterday. Why when Trump was presidentwas a lot different? For real.
I know that was pre COVID.Post COVID, it has been a little
different. Do you think that Trumpshould go to jail? Hell no,
we all break the laws of times. It's all right. He ain't hurt
nobody. Free that man. I'moff of Trump man. So you're saying

(26:59):
Trump twenty twenty four, four day, odd day, see odd day.
We've been talking about particular younger blackmen gravitating towards Trump and the Hispanic vote
gravitating towards Trump. You're getting therenow because of your grievances, but because
they're looking around, going the economysucks, et cetera, et cetera.

(27:22):
To me, it's not really aTrump thing. It's just that, you
know, the Republican point of viewsjust fit me a little better. Do
you think that the trials are makingthem more popular? Our propaganda in bullsh
I'm for the Trump point of viewsbecause I mean, to me, he's
just a businessman. Everybody talk againsthim, talking personal. Nobody's even talking
politics, which to me, likewe talked about with Milwaukee the other day.

(27:45):
They make this big thing about mywife. It's not about policy.
It's all about personal, all aboutpersonal. And when he was here,
nobody was out fighting the war.Him and Dennis Rodman killed with the dude
in North Korea. John he wasthe first president to go to no everybody
was getting money. What's cool underhis watch? He was real, he

(28:07):
was doing his job. And whatI liked about him the most is the
things that regular people hate about himthe most. He was real. He
told you how he felt. Hecould have lied like other politicians. Just
make you like him. One thingabout him. You know what you're dealing
with. Yeah, keep it real, indeed three two three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twentythree at Chad Benson Show, it's your
Twitter three dead has texted program.It's funny the guy asking the questions,

(28:29):
trying to make it about the trialand all this stuff, and what is
the guy that's answering the question keepsbringing it back to policy, the things
that matter to him and then includethe Republican Party. Now's your chance Republican
Party. Now's your chance. You'llscrew it up, But now's your chance.
At Chad Benson show Twitter again.You could text or leave a message

(28:53):
at three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three.

when you thought you could escape allthe Pride Month propaganda by watching football,
apparently not. The Buffalo Bills isthe latest NFL franchise supporting a new National
Gay Flag Football League. What joiningother NFL teams like the Giants, the

(30:38):
Patriots, the Commanders, the Seahawks, the commissioner of the National Gay Flag
Football League riding in a statement They'rethrilled to bring inclusive flag football to Buffalo.
Exciting edition joins twenty seven other cities. I literally just asked the producers.
I was like, are we surethat this isn't some kind of fake
story from the Babylon But there's aNational Game Flag Football League? Now?

(31:02):
Why? Why? Is the questionI asked so often in this country.
I need to go find my owncountry. Speaking of the Babylon Bee,
they also had a headline that saysthe Buffalo Bill sponsored a gay football league,
and then it said, why dowe need that when we have the
Dallas Cowboys. I didn't say that, that's the Babylon Beach. It.
Don't get mad at me because I'llhear some crap about that. Here's my

(31:30):
question, and I'm not trying tobe You know, I don't live your
life. I got no problem withthat, zero problem. Now you know
you hate the Gates totally. That'sit. Why is right? Not because
you know it's it's, oh,we don't need inclusivity, and no,
it's just isn't the whole point beingable to everybody just to play? Isn't

(31:55):
that? It isn't that the wholepoint. It's like, you know,
it's funny when when they talking inclusivityso often they talk about excluding everybody else
to be inclusive. So why wouldn'tyou just want to have a football league
where everybody plays, regardless of yourskin tone, who you love, who

(32:19):
you worship. See where I'm goingwith that, poor rich, white,
black, gay straight I'm just throwingit out there. Are you a mouse
jiggler? Well, that's a littlepersonal chad. What is a mouse jiggler?
Somebody who jiggles the mouse? Iget that. No, it's not
some cool new phrase that the kidsare using. It's actually something that has

(32:40):
come to light over the last coupleof days because Wells Fargo fired several employees
who were mouse jigglers. Ooh,so what that is is you work from
the house, so you're a remoteworker, and you have something that's set
up at the house, so whenyou're away from your computer, the mouse

(33:00):
looks like it's doing work. Sowhen they look at you your computer and
your productivity, yeah, yeah,they know, Oh this person's working.
Do you work from home and yourlaptop as tracking software on it, and
you want to make your boss thinkyou're still working even though you just wanted
to get a snack or go tothe bathroom or stuff. Thank god that
this is a mouse jiggler. Basically, it moves the cursor on your computer

(33:24):
so that the tracking software installed byyour boss, uh, things that you're
still working, things that you're stilldoing stuff. What where's the jiggle?
I thought there was gonna be morejiggle. That's all it's doing. Why
does it have to be this big? So here's one that works with your
existing mouse. You just press thebutton and okay, so how does that
work? Oh that's still just onthe vertical line. Like that's all it

(33:45):
does. Our workers are just movinghorizontally a lot. If your boss sucks,
consider getting jiggling with it. Yeah, so you can buy stuff that
does it. You can set itup yourself. There's so many hacks.
They fired these people because they're like, oh, here's the way I think
you should measure productivity by productivity beingthere and not doing anything but showing that

(34:15):
you're there. That's not a winfor your boss or the company. Productivity
is how you should be measured.Don't you think everybody likes to jiggle?
So wells Fargo fired these people.I was there, like thirteen of them

(34:38):
from the Wealth and Investment Management Unitfor using mouse jigglers or fake working the
big picture. As they say,in some sectors of the economy, measuring
productivity is straightforward. Auto manufacturers,look how many cars are produced per labor
hour. Farmers might consider crop yields. But for other people, maybe you
work at two in the morning,right, maybe you get stuff done at

(35:00):
different times. But at the endof the day when you go to bed
and you had to do a Band C and a B and C was
done and it was done, well, shouldn't that be the only thing that
matters? I think so. Andwhat do they show if you allow people
to do their thing and they're happy, they're going to give you more.

(35:21):
It's mouse jiggling, getting jiggle itwith it, getting jiggly with I don't
know. Three two, three,five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson, show, your Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other things on theChad Benson Show. Coming up next hour.
The Ten Commandments. We've been talkingabout it. It's very very interesting,

(35:44):
Chad, these Ten Commandments? Isit something? And this is this
is my take, It has beenmy take. I don't care what you
put in there. Put the tenpenmant, put the Kuran, put the
Torah, put everything in there.I don't care. Are you teaching for
it it's a Christian school, Probablyare, but I'm just throwing out there.
I don't care. And I thinkall kids should learn about all the
religions now as a Christian and noproblem with that. Some of you do

(36:07):
understandable. Talk a bit about that. Kim Chong UN's falling in love with
the pooter, talk more about thatas well. You can tweet at us
and text the program always three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ChadBenson Show. It's your Twitter, your
Instagram. It is the Chad BensonShow. This is the Chad Benson Show.

(36:49):
Independent Thoughts, Independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. We're a week
away from the debate. What arethe polls saying? Fox is new poll?
Oh my god, what's it say? I'm Brett Baar. We are
releasing new Fox polls right now aboutthe presidential race. President Biden gets his
best result this election cycle in thehead to head against former President Donald Trump.

(37:10):
He leads fifty to forty eight.That is within the March and e
arra. President Biden hasn't been aheadof former President Trump in the poll since
October twenty twenty three. He trailedTrump by one point last month, again
all within March of era, avery tight race. Tight rais indeed,
Brett bear there, let me tellyou about polls. Doesn't matter why it's

(37:30):
a national poll. We don't votenationally, so doesn't matter. I mean
it's good for Biden on a nationallevel. Again, we don't vote nationally.
Focus on the states that matter.There's seven of them. Some people
say six. I'm gonna go withseven. Arizona, Nevada check, check,

(37:53):
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania check, Jack Michigan, check, Georgia, North Carolina.
Those are the ones that you needto focus on. Everything else doesn't
matter. And I know that soundshorrible because you may be listening to me
in Texas or in Florida, orin California or New York. Don't matter.

(38:17):
Why because we know where those votesare going. So when you listen
to the polls. Some of thestuff, though you can find interesting in
the polls is what matters to peoplewhen listing extremely important issues to their vote.
Registered voters in this survey citing thefuture of democracy at sixty eight percent,
the economy at sixty six, followedby stability and normalcy than healthcare and

(38:42):
immigration, abortion, and gons.This as bros and Biden is preparing to
share a stage with the former presidentin just over a week. It's right,
one week from today they'll be onstage, and that it's going to
be a very interesting time. Trumphas taken this very seriously. He's bringing
people into talk about policy. Heis focusing on what are they going to

(39:07):
ask me, they being the Democratsthrough Biden, What are it's going to
be about abortion? How do Itake that on? It's gonna be about
several different things. How do Itake that on? And what happens when
they hit me with you're a felon? Trump has had a good couple of
weeks being a politician. But Isay this, and this is where Biden

(39:31):
needs to focus on too, becausethey both have their weaknesses. You focus
on what matters to the people.This is Gabe Vazquez from New Mexico congress
person is asked, hey, whatdoes Biden need to do and say,
well, look, I think PresidentBiden needs to focus on the things that

(39:52):
people care about right here at home, things like these catastrophic wildfires that are
happening across the West. But mostimportantly, when we talk about people's livelihoods,
the economy is the number one issuein my district. That's what I've
been focused on. We need tomake sure that we get people back into
good paying jobs, that we remindfolks that the dollars that have been spent

(40:14):
and are being spent in communities likeRidoso, like Los Cruses or Albuquerque in
New Mexico that are now creating jobsthat are putting welders back to work,
pipefitters back to work, carpenters backto work. Are jobs that we can
count on in the future, andthat they're good paying jobs, and that
the American people are going to beprotected and going into the future, and

(40:35):
that they will have futures, thattheir kids will have jobs, and that
folks will be able to go tothe grocery store and too the gas pop
and be able to see some reliefbig time. That's what people want.
It's the economy, stupid. Yeah, there are other things out there that
matter, but everybody who's got thatone a and for most people it is
the economy. Inflation. Everybody triesto Regulable's economy, that inflation. I

(41:00):
put it all together. If money'sbeing made and money is being spent,
it's the economy and that's important topeople. And he hit it out the
park. And it's the same thingI've been saying with Trump going into this,
do not turn this into a grievousfest. You're a week away don't
turn this into woes me turn thisin. Look when he throws something at

(41:22):
you, say yeah, when Iheard talk about that, we're to talk
about policy. When I here totalk about personality a person, We're to
talk about policy. We're here totalk about policy. What about immigration?
How is that there's ten million peoplehere, they've come here illegally. How
is it you've done what ninety sixexecutive orders that people feel that the border's

(41:42):
wide open? How is it thatinflation has run completely rampant? How is
it that all of these things arehappening? And what are your solutions?
Because the solutions you've put forth isallow more people here and continue to throw
money at stuff, cheapening the dollar, making everything more expensive. Do that.

(42:04):
That is going to help big timeand focus. And I know there's
a lot of people out there.They enjoy the grievous fest. They enjoy
the politics of fighting. What aboutthe politics of solutions. I don't know
if it's there anymore? And partof that is on us, right,

(42:25):
But the way that we act,we're so ridiculous at times, and we
need to be entertained. And that'ssad. It is, It is sad.
It is sad that that's the wayour politics is gone, the way
that we've divided each other up intothese bizarre little groups and tribes of angry

(42:51):
people, more angry people, superangry people. And I continue to say
the exhausted majority, which is avast majority of the people, seventy five
eighty percent, we don't want that. We've got to take the voice back
of common sense and reason. Whatmatters to people. Immigration is a huge
deal, no doubt about that.They just signed a new immigration executive order.

(43:16):
President Biden announced a move that's letmore than five hundred thousand people that
we're learning now who are not Americancitizens stay in the country right because they
are married to a US citizen.Yeah, it's a mess. Obviously,
more than ten million people have illegallycrossed the border because of ninety four now
ninety five with the actions this weekexecutive orders to open up the border and

(43:39):
to announce to people worldwide, ifyou get to America, we will let
you in and we will eventually giveyou citizenship, which is the way that
people feel. And I said thatthat was during the second debate when Biden
said, within the first hundred days, I'm going to send a bill that
will give people the opportunity for apathway to citizenship for eleven million people.

(44:02):
What do you think people heard elsewhere? Come on down, the party is
beginning. I said ninety six.It's ninety five executive orders. The Biden
administration is also directly violating the lawand they know it. That's why they're
doing it right before the election isthey want to make this an election issue.
And they also know the courts aregoing to throw this out because the
law clearly states you can't do paroleon someone currently in the country. They

(44:27):
have to be outside the country.So this administration is just declaring people outside
the country and then giving them paroleand then giving them this legal path to
status. They know it's against thelaw, but they just want to make
this part of their electioneering. That'sthe performative side of politics. Do something
big, do it flashy, makeit bold, make it whatever. Make
sure that everybody knows what you're doing. But nobody cares about the outcome,

(44:53):
because all that you need is theheadlines at this moment in time, and
when you look at the numbers.MAJORCIS gets pressed on this, but the
numbers what people are thinking when itcomes to illegal immigration and the way that
our system is being abused, andthe way that yes, even Hispanics are

(45:13):
like, we've had enough. Youcan sit here and spin it however you
want. People are frustrated. Let'stake a look a few years back when
we provided this relief for spouses ofUS service members, men and women who
have served our country in uniform andhave been willing to risk their lives,

(45:35):
and too many have indeed made theultimate sacrifice in the service of our country.
That is what we have expanded upontoday. He is such a clown
that didn't answer any of the question. The number say, a vast majority
of people now want people to goback, a vast majority. You have

(45:58):
allowed it to become undt Hannibal.When it comes to the amount of a
legal immigration that's happening, And what'sthat one issue that we always talk about,
the black Swan event that could potentiallyhappen that would change everything, what
is that a terrorist attack? Myrioritis. We in the law enforcement community and
the intelligence community have been speaking ofa heightened threat environment, certainly exacerbated in

(46:23):
the wake of the October seventh terroristattacks against Israel. We've been speaking about
the threat of domestic violent extremism individualsalready resident in the United States who are
radicalized by foreign terrorist ideologies of falsenarratives, anti government sentiments, personal grievances,

(46:45):
and other phenomenon. We also haveseen a growth in the foreign terrorist
threat, and we have enhanced ourscreening and vetting accordingly. No, you
haven't. Why is that because eightpeople came here you couldn't do anything about
it for a year. Remember whilethey stop these guys eventually and arrested them,

(47:07):
it took them almost a year toget to that point. Think about
that, and there's only so muchwe're going to be able to do.
Frustrating, big issue. If you'reTrump, you stick to it. Make
Biden answer the questions about why isthis a massive wave? And he's going

(47:27):
to say because you stopped it fromhappening. And you're going to say,
what, No, I didn't.You have all the tools you already needed.
You've done ninety five now executive ordersto undo what I did. We
had really low amount of people cominghere illegally. You've allowed this to happen.
Why should I give you know?Why should the Republicans not me?

(47:49):
Because they can make up their ownmind. Well, why should the Republicans
give you more tools if you're notgoing to use them. You did an
executive order and then you told thepeople in San Diego, and that's ignore
that order and release people things thatmatter. That's what people want to hear,
not grievances. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Chad Benson shoe you're listening to theChad Benson Show. North Korea Welcome

(49:51):
Vladimir Putin. In spectacular style,Huge crowds feel Pyongyang's main Square under a
broiling sun. Flag from Russia andNorth Korea waved together. Goose stepping soldiers,
thousands of them paraded before the twoleaders. But this visit is about
more than festivities. It is anin your face show of unity born of

(50:13):
necessity, born of necessity. Thinkabout that. If you're Rushia, you
have to go to the little dudeto get stuff. That's how bad things
have gotten. Kim Jung dany Ineed some stuff. So they signed a
pack. The pack says, wewill always be friends. We will always
be best friends. And if somethinggoes south, if you get attacked,

(50:35):
we will come to your aid,and if we get attacked, you will
come to our aid. We willbe pals. You like that. It's
all about screwing with the West.It has nothing to do with a necessity.
Let's be real. They wouldn't bepals if they didn't need something from
one another. If life isn't goingwell and you've got one person that's willing
to be your friend and they don'thave anybody willing to be their friend except

(50:59):
for you, well guess what,you'll be friends. Kim provides Russia hundreds
of thousands of artillery rounds and missilesfor its war in Ukraine, and in
return, Kim is hoping Putin willhelp him with his nuclear and ballistic missile
program, and indeed, after hoursof meetings, the two leaders did pledge
support for one another in what Putincalled a fight against the imperialist policies of

(51:22):
the US and its allies against Russia, and Kim called it a fiery friendship
that is now closer than ever.Oh that's good. They're in love.
I'm not in love. I don'teven this is what it is. The
world is close to being on fire. But this is the way the world
has always been the last twenty fiveyears. Let's not forget the last twenty

(51:43):
five years. The world has beensomething it's never been pretty stable. For
the most part throughout human history,the world has been conquering, being conquered,
fighting, et cetera, et cetera. And now you got two ding
dongs who are together, who aregoing to well fight together if need be.

(52:06):
It's their own little NATO. Ohyeah, I could see that.
Nothing to worry about. By theway, Scotus still has a lot of
cases out there to be well,to be released, and what their decisions
are three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chadmanson Show is yourTwitter tweet at as text the program at
the Chadminton Show. Coming up.A lot of stuff, man, We've

(52:30):
got so much stuff tsa record settingover the last month. Talk about that
Stonehenge. More on the Ten Commandments, not one, not two, not
three, not four, but theTen Commandments. Some of you were chiming
in about that angry like I didit. I don't get that. Why

(52:51):
are you angry at me? Ididn't do anything. I don't live in
Louisiana. I didn't do anything.But you're angry at me. Don't be
don't be angry at me. Iam but a messenger. Or we got
some of your texts coming up thoughyou do wonder are we this divided that
you always have to yell at everybodyall the time in caps, call everybody

(53:13):
Nazis. Drop the F bomb.And I'm not one for not caring if
you drop the F bomb. Butif that's the way you're going to start
a conversation insulting somebody, it's nota conversation. You're just angry. So
ch had Ben to job such ChadBenson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(54:40):
This is Chad Benson. We havebeen through several fires in the nineteen
years we've been there. None allof them was fierce like this one.
I hope it's still there. Thefires have still been working through. So
we began preparing, packed the cars, we're ready to go. Then we
decided it was close enough and wecould smell it and see it. That

(55:07):
right, there are some people inRidoso who in New Mexico you're not seeing
the fire. Redosa is one ofthose picturesque, beautiful little towns and the
fire is just destroying everything in hispast. Then you had massive rainfall which
helped contend the fire, then causedfloods. It is bit of hell on

(55:29):
Earth. I tell you that rightnow. It is a bit of hell
on Earth. And my wife usedto live there. She was there a
couple of weeks ago and it isone of those places. It's very picture
ass and it is just a nightmarewhere she lived, just absolutely half the
homes are devastated and several of herfriends and family have had to evacuate.

(55:52):
And it is it is uh,it is crazy. But it's that season,
right, wildfire season. It's becauseof climate change. You know the
best thing you can do for climatechange people, And I want you guys
to understand this is tape glue ordestroy something. So tape yourself to something,
glue yourself to something, or goand say, I don't know Stonehenge,

(56:16):
do something there. Today will betaking action at Stonehenge the day before
the solstice. Or my name isNeve, I'm twenty one. Today I'm
taking action with to the one thatthe UK government commits to signing the Fossil
Fuel Non Preniperation Treaty and promises tostop burning fossil fuels by twenty thirty.
To refuse to do so is towarrant death, destruction and suffering on an

(56:39):
absolutely immense and immeasurable scale. Okay, so you go there and then you
spray orange pain all over everything,and then you glue yourself to stuff and
this helps. It does. Man. The minute you glude yourself to the
Mona Lisa, or try to destroyyou know, any riceless work of art,

(57:00):
or maybe go to a basketball gameand go quick to the floor glue
yourself to it, you can tellthat it's getting cooler outside. Thousands of
years people have come to Stonehenge onthe solstice to celebrate our natural world,
to celebrate the beauty of our naturalworld. But I can't help thinking,

(57:20):
what does it look like today,and what the heck have we done to
it? These stones have stood herefor five thousand years. What will the
world like in five thousand years time? What will our legacy be becoming ever
more clear that we own the fossilfuel era or the fossil fuel error unts
us. Okay, there you go, we did that, or else it's
it's too late. So the bestthing to do. These things have been

(57:43):
here for thousands of years, thesehinges, and if we go and we
destroy these hinges, it'll show theworld that they would have been destroyed anyways
without fossil fuel. So we're doingour job. What don't stop traffic?
That's all I got to say whenit comes to your protests, no matter
what it is, I think mostof your protests are ridiculous and stupid.

(58:07):
And thank god the Palestinian kids thatare out there who are ridiculously protesting and
for whatever reason, because their professorstell them to. I believe they have
stopped traffic a few times, butnothing compared to what the fossil fuel folks
have. So just want you guysto be alert. Climate change, is

(58:30):
it real? Climate changes? Ican go back and look at climate Throughout
the centuries, it seems to havebeen up and down. But it's different.
Now we're going to have an effecton the climate in particular planet.
But that being said, your insanitythat people have help you build up in

(58:53):
your mind that the world's coming toan end and all of this stuff.
This cult is you've been around fora long time. When I was a
kid growing up, it was aNew Ice Age. It's over. We're
all gonna die because of the NewIce Age. It never came. Then
it was global warming. Now it'sclimate change because as long as it goes
up or down, it doesn't matter. Because you're right, head's eye,

(59:16):
wind tails you lose. Oh yeah, AI big proponent of it. You
guys know that. How about yourmayor being AI? That's right. Man
by the name of Victor Miller wantsto be mayor and he's gonna let AI

(59:37):
do the deciding for him. Iknow that sounds weird. By the way,
when you listen to him, youthink he sounds kind of like a
robot. He is not. He'sa real person. I've seen him and
they asked him some questions the otherday about things like, hey, you
know, chet GPT says a lotof wacky things. How do we know
you're gonna get anything good out ofthis? I believe that a lot of

(59:59):
those answers to questions are probably fromolder iterations, And certainly of the best
intelligence that we've extracted so far isout of open aiyes chat GVT four and
that's what I'm using here. There'svery minimal mistakes like that. But you

(01:00:21):
know, generally you're not asking itquestions per se. No, you're not
asking questions per se. And that'swhat he's trying to get to. What
he's trying to get to is no, No, we're not asking him about
this, that and the other.It's going to help him come up with,

(01:00:42):
you know, surmise a lot ofstuff and then get to the point
where it is just going to bea yes or no kind of thing based
on data and facts. Should theydo something. It's going to be taking
in the supporting documents to you whatit knows about Cheyenne and assistants. Here

(01:01:04):
are the concerns, and it's goingto make a boat yes or no.
And it's going to do that basedon intelligence and on data. And I'm
going to go ahead and pull thelever for it. So that's what he's
saying. He's going to just pullthe lever for it, meaning I fed
all the information to it. Ithas gone through, it is analyzed,

(01:01:28):
all of the information, everything infront of it. It has gone through
from top to bottom. It haslooked at it. It is then going
to say or mister Miller is goingto say to it, should we do
A or should we do B?And it'll say, based on the data
and everything, the best path forwardto get the solution that you're looking for,

(01:01:50):
which will give you a seventy threepoint eighty five percent chance of actually
doing this is this, And thenhe's going to go, boom, let's
get that done. The question ishuman beings, how do they feel?
The response has been mixed, forsure, it's been of course, the
response from the press and just thegeneral bias of the idea, I suppose

(01:02:10):
has been something to see. Yeah, as far as the citizens go,
I'm able to talk to some ofthem, and usually how it works is
by the end of it, Iat least tell him on some kind of
a growth curve. So do I. The people that are running against and
some are saying, look, it'sunconstitutional, you can't do this. This

(01:02:31):
is not what well I think Dad. In fact, here's the one thing
about AI, and it's not perfect. Let's be real, it's not perfect.
It makes stuff up all the time. In fact, I my wife
who she is, you know,worship leader and things of that nature.
She follows a lot of these famousworship leaders and one of them the other

(01:02:53):
day was calling out AI because itwas talking about how he is gay with
an other worship leader. And it'sall this made up stuff. So there's
a lot of problems in some ofthis, right, there is, there's
no doubt. But when we useit, and my company uses it,
my other company uses it all thetime. I use it for show prep,
I do sometimes go and go.I don't not quite sure I believe

(01:03:15):
this. The one thing though,is A is getting better. But when
it comes to certain things, especiallywith data that kind of stuff and numbers,
it's damn good. It's amazing.It's incredible. It is. It
is so incredible. And when youtake emotion out of stuff, which is

(01:03:35):
hard to do because we're emotional creature, isn't that kind of what we want?
One hundred percent? That's what Iwant. What's the best way to
go A or b A. Okay, let's go to ah. Yes,
but what about B. We've leftb out we heard it? No,
no, no, The best wayto go is a using it as a

(01:03:57):
decision making tool in that situation.You're great, But I just I don't
think that. I think it's Ithink he's right, and it's it's gonna
take a while for people, becauseI mean, the pushback already now with
AI is tremendous. And I understandthat. No, baby, do I
understand that. I see it everyday, the pushback out there when it
comes to AI, and it's understandable. Whether it's creative side of things or

(01:04:20):
business kaidas things, there's there's afear factor out there. There's no doubt
about that. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

(01:05:55):
You've come to the perfect place fortakeout. So we don't reach our
children anything. Everything that they learnis in response to either their interests or
their questions. We have no curriculum, we have no school hours. We
really just respond whenever they want toknow something and do our best to make
sure they really get it. Andmy big fear about free schooling was that

(01:06:16):
if my kids only went towards whatthey were interested in, saving all of
their real estate only for things they'reinterested in, not cramming it with anything
necessary, I was concerned that theywould never be interested in things like reading
and writing and math. Free schoolingthe hell is free schooling. So where
school is free, No, it'snot. It's extreme homeschooling where kids just

(01:06:40):
be kids and they learn as theygo and out of curiosity they want to
know certain things. I mean,I'm making it very simplistic here, but
so think about this. Your kidsare interested in something, there's no agenda,
there's no there's nothing of the day, right, you don't have anything

(01:07:03):
written down. You allow the kidsto be kids, and they do this
a lot in European countries, eventhough it's a little bit more structured where
especially in Scandinavian countries. The Dutchdo it a lot as well. That's
the Netherlands holdand where they allow kidsto just kind of be kids. If
kids want to get up and theywant to go outside and play in the
middle of a lesson, they go, do that. Teacher wants to know,

(01:07:24):
do you just learn something? What'dyou see out there? You play
in the tree. It's a littlebit like that. Now this is kind
of extreme where it's like we haveno agenda. But I think what they're
trying to figure out is are kidscurious enough to find out? Hey,
I want to read to find outabout life in a way that's different how
we used to find it out.My son's six and it took some patience

(01:07:47):
and not comparing myself to other moms. But this is his book. Look
at this lamp, egg jar lion. This is him doing this. Buy
him so well, copping down wordsfrom other places. Same with addition,
mom, what's seven plus five?It will come at the right time.

(01:08:09):
If you do not like this ideaof sending your kids away for forty hours
a week and then wondering why theyhave no energy to do anything else.
Of trust that you can follow theirinterests and they will learn everything they need
to learn, not what other peopleneed them to learn. The problem is
her kids nineteen just kidding yaggin good. I don't know if I could do

(01:08:34):
that, although you know so theway my kids, if you guys don't
know anything about me, I'll teacha little something here. My kids.
I've got a younger one even thoughI am fifty three, I have a
five year old she soon to besix. I have a fifteen year old
step daughter. I have a fourteenyear old son. I have a thirteen
year old stepdaughter and a five yearold. My son lives in San Diego,

(01:08:59):
goes to school. They're great schools, awesome. God blessed Adi.
Even though you know there's some wokestuff and some crazy stuff at schools.
I've been very fortunate. He's beenblessed. My other kids, they go
to school three days a week,and a lot of the other stuff is
curiosity and learning at home on Mondaysand Fridays, they've got their homework and

(01:09:24):
the stuff that they do, andthey follow a curriculum. But my daughter,
who is five, is super curiousabout everything. She's always trying to
read She's always trying to learn newstuff, She's always interested in and that
is to me, I find thatcurious because you know, you would think
that all kids want to do isjust sit down on a computer, and
that's not true. Some kids might, but for the most part, no,

(01:09:45):
there is this, you know,this natural curiosity of kids to want
to learn things, and I findthat to be very fascinating. Speaking of
school, school choice, to me, I always find to be very important
Conde, Liza Rice. We alreadyhave a choice system in education. If
you are of means, you willmove to a district where the schools are
good and the houses are expensive,like Palo Alto, California. If you

(01:10:10):
go across the street from Stanford,Palo Alto High has a performance arts center
that looks like a smaller version ofStanford's. If you're really wealthy, you
will send your kids to private schools. So who's stuck in failing neighborhood schools?
Poor kids a lot of them minoritykids one hundred percent correct, And

(01:10:30):
the powers that be unions, especiallya lot of big cities, they never
want to get rid of poor performingschools. They never want to do any
of those things. Those kids arestuck over and over again in areas where
they really have a struggle with inmany cases not great teachers. That's where

(01:10:50):
they send the inexperienced or some ofthe bad ones, and they don't have
the resources, and it's tough,and it always makes me laugh when you
see the unions out there. We'refighting for X, Y, and z,
right, the poor kids, this, that and the other get At
the same time, you don't wantthem to have choice because the choice would

(01:11:11):
be send your kid to a betterschool somewhere else. But we don't want
to take that because you're really whatyou're doing, you're fighting for their butt
in the seat, which equals dollars. Oh yeah, So how can you
say you're for civil rights? Howcan you say you're for the poor when
you're condemning those children to not beingable to read by the time they're in
third grade. They're never going toread. So if you want to say

(01:11:33):
that school choice and bouchers and charterschools are destroying the public schools, fine
you write that editorial in the WashingtonPost, But then don't send your kids
to sit well, friends, yeah, same people that sit there and go
School choice is wrong. It's badblah blah blah blah blah. All of
the things are the same people thatnever send their kids to the school in

(01:11:58):
their district. They choose a betterschool because as parents, given the opportunity,
we're gonna choose the best we canfor our kids. And if you're
stuck, it sucks. Three twothree five three eight twenty four to twenty

(01:13:00):
It is the Chad Benson Show.This is the Chad Benson Show,

(01:13:28):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, Thisis Chad Benson. Let's go live now
to something we see happening over hereat an airport, live in London.
Yes, Chad, I'm standing outhere as I'm watching people cutting through fences
and they seem to be sneaking inwith orange paint, and they are now

(01:13:50):
painting a bunch of jets, includingTaylor Swift Jet orange. I can't believe
this insanity. Humanity, oh,the humanity. Yes, that's right,
the activist strike again. It's avideo of them cutting through, going out

(01:14:13):
and painting. They said they weregoing to after they attack Stone End yesterday.
They were gonna go get the theprivate jets and paint them orange.
I love orange, by the way, so I've been fine with that.
I'm like, that's nice. Youget who did it? Two homely girls?
Trust me, they're homely. It'snot very nice. Jet. Oh,
good god, what the hell iswrong with us? People? What

(01:14:35):
is wrong with us? I don'tknow what can save us? Could it
be a new president or the sameold president? Old being the operative word
there. A week from today,they battle who I'm talking about? Trump
and Biden? Know this, allthe talk about Trump, it's gonna wing.
It doesn't pay attention. It's gonnabe awful, it's gonna be this,
it's gonna be that. Slow yourrole, Maggie Amberman, big time

(01:15:00):
journo, as they would like tosay, talking about how serious Trump is
taking this. Trump is taking thismore seriously than people allow publicly, right,
I mean in public his aids offand downplay the prep that he does.
He's been doing not standard debate prep. He doesn't have stand ins as
of now for Biden in these debates, so he's not doing mock debates.

(01:15:20):
He's not doing mock debates. Thatcould certainly change. But he's been doing
what they've been describing as policy time, where they bring in different people to
brief him. A bunch of senatorshave come in. Last week. Senator
Marco Rubiu and Senator Eric Schmidt bothbriefed him at the RNC headquarters after his
meetings with lawmakers around Capitol Hill.Oh, that is very interesting. And

(01:15:45):
stand ins are like to mock debates, so you would call in, you
know, back four years ago ChrisChristy came in and he was going to
be Joe Biden. And so rightnow it's policy which matters, yes,
for those of you not keeping score, policy matters more than anything else.
And a personality based society where weneed to be entertained all the time.

(01:16:10):
That's not always true. But Trumpis taking this more serious than ever before.
Trump is doing something. He's beingmeasured. I've been talking about this
all day. Can't be about thegrievances. We know you've been wronged,
we know you feel you've been wronged, and I think in several of these
cases there's some serious issues and somequestions that absolutely should be asked on things

(01:16:36):
like was this a political hit jobin New York? But it can't be
all about grievances because people have theirown grievances. It's called immigration inflation.
You know, the wars going onaround the globe, all the stuff right
the economy, those are their grievances. They want their voice heard, not

(01:16:59):
just you ever met somebody and you'vehad the worst day in the world and
you just kind of want to getit off your chest, and you say
something and they try to one upyou with their grievances and their issues.
Don't be that listen, take itin, be a helper. They are
focusing on various issues that could comeup, abortion, healthcare, COVID,

(01:17:20):
and then very specifically, and thiswas one thing that came up last Thursday.
What Trump will say when asked Januarysixth related questions, particularly his statements
about pardoning some of the people whowere arrested in connection with the violence that
day. Will he tried to bevague and not be pinned down on whether
he'll pardon them all. What theyare hoping he is going to say,
and again who knows what he'll actuallysay, but what they're hoping he is

(01:17:41):
going to say is some version ofyou know, it depends on the case.
He has left it much broader inthe past and said he'll likely pardon
people again across the board. I'mokay with some of the pardons. I
have to be honest. I thinksome of it was ridiculous. And remember
the Scotus is hearing some of thecases. One of the fact one of
the cases they're hearing because it needsto be done here I think by the

(01:18:02):
end of next week. One ofthe cases is about how they've charged some
of these people by using something fromlike a financial kind of law that was
not put there to charge people withtrespassing or insurrection or I don't even if
anybody's really been in charge with insurrection, but you know, some of theme.
So they're hearing that. But okay, just say, look, I

(01:18:25):
want to talk about the policies thatmatter to the American people. The expense
of life, the economy, thefact that we have inflation that is running
rampant, that people have sticker shockwhenever they go buy an apple. Those
things are the things that people wantto know about. And not only does
Trump have to be ready for it, Biden does. And let's not forget

(01:18:46):
the second debate. It was betterthan the first debate because that first debate
between these two with the nightmare.Trump doesn't like prep I mean, he
considers it school. So the factthat they've gotten him to do it this
way is actually pretty revealing and alsospeaks to the fact that I think he
knows that this has to go wellfor him. He has said to people
multiple times that he knows that heinterrupted too much in the first debate with

(01:19:10):
Biden in twenty twenty, but Bidencould barely get a word in edgewise.
And Biden was kind of smiling throughoutas this was happening. Yeah, Beggy
hammm right there in New York TimesCNN that first debate. You can love
Trump all you want, that wasan embarrassment and a debacle. And he
knows that measured Trump has never beenthis measured in his political career as he

(01:19:34):
is now. He's totally measured ina way that he hasn't been. And
yes, you're gonna have some grievancesand stuff, but how you come out
a week from today could say alot about where things are going to go.
Now on the other side of it, Joe Biden, what's he up
to? President Biden is still athis beach home in Rehoboth, Delaware,

(01:19:55):
after spending the juneteenth Federal holiday there. Wednesday with the First Lady, the
President travels to into Camp David,where he stays for the next several days,
huddling with senior advisors and preparing forhis debate next Thursday against former President
Donald Trump. According to a campaignofficial, the president's former chief of staff
Ron Klain, is leading the debatepreparations. Other senior campaign aids and longtime

(01:20:16):
advisors, including Cedric Richmond, willalso be on hand to camp David.
He's got a good group around him. And that's the one thing that Trump
has this time. He's got agroup of people around him that understand campaigning,
that understand politics. He's got aground game that he hasn't had before.
This is not fly by the seatof the pants, But what it
is is a lot of the messagingthan you saw in the first race in

(01:20:39):
twenty sixteen, coupled with a moreprofessional kind of feel. And if I'm
Biden and I'm just talking about thecampaign side of things, those are things
I'm looking at, going, Okay, all right, Like he's serious about
this. You know they're going tocome after him. You're a fellon,
You're this, You're that take thehigh road. Keep it on policy,
you're trying to change the subject.Take it off me. Let's talk about

(01:21:00):
policy. Donald Trump rhetoric even andeven his sort of swagger looks more like
twenty sixteen than he looks in twentytwenty, and when Trump's losing, the
worst version of Trump shows up.And when Trump's winning or he thinks he's
ahead, he's actually a different person, a different candidate. Donald Trump and
Detroit and those events he did,he was oddly loose, he was trying

(01:21:20):
to be funny. Where from abouttwenty seventeen to twenty twenty two we had
and even twenty twenty three through theprimaries, it's been nothing but angry grievance.
Trump angry, angry, angry.It's interesting if he somehow drops the
grievance, he could end up lookingmore like that twenty sixteen candidate where he's
the outside disruptor. Got to dropthe grievance. Absolutely doesn't mean you don't

(01:21:45):
talk about it, doesn't mean youdon't bring it up once in a while.
But like I said, if you'vegot issues, and you've got grievances
and you have worries, what doyou do. You want to be able
to vent to somebody. You wantto be able to to brainstorm with somebody.
What you don't want is somebody tocome and make it all about them.

(01:22:14):
You've got to still be You don'tlook look and for some people out
there. They want to hear aboutyour grievances. They want to hear about
that. I get that, butyou know what, you have those people.
This isn't about the people that arevoting for Trump next week. This
isn't about the people that are votingagainst Trump next week. These are about

(01:22:34):
the people that are in the middle, the scruntled Democrats, not happy Republicans
and independence. This isn't about peoplewho've made their minds up. These campaigns
now have to understand. It isabout what matters to a certain group of

(01:22:59):
people, five hundred to maybe amillion in seven different states that will decide
this. How do you get themSaying that Trump is the worst human being
on earth isn't going to fix anything, Saying that Biden is this, that

(01:23:21):
and the other is no. Theywant to know what are you going to
do in this situation? Because we'vegotten to the point now where we feel
like we need to be entertained allthe time, which is frustrating as hell,
and we no longer care about policy. We care about personality and whether
we like you or don't like you. Based on that, most people want

(01:23:41):
to know, what are you goingto do to fix this nightmare? How
are you going to prove the situationthroughout the Middle East? What are we
going to Are we gonna get indeeper? Or what about you know Ukraine?
Because yeah, you know what,we don't want to send any more
money. Same time, we can'thave putter running all over the place.
What are you going to do whenit comes to immigration? How's that going
to play itself out? And ofcourse the economy. So what are you

(01:24:08):
going to do? If you're thispresident? How do you react to Trump?
You can't just make it. You'reevil person, You're a bad person.
Everybody hates you. You're going todestroy democracy and install yourself king.
You've already said you're going to bea dictator. Blah blah. Ignore it.
And if you're Biden and he saysyou're old, you're this, you're
that, you've got to come outand show him. I don't know,
do push up something. So butjust like everything else, you've got to

(01:24:35):
say, hey, the and ifI'm Trump, I'm Everything I'm doing is
based like it's based on how they'regoing to hit me. Go do the
Eminem thing. Do you remember themovie eight Mile? Eminem came out at
the end and what did he doall the things that that guy was going
to say about him and rap abouthim, what did he do? He

(01:24:58):
did it all first and took itaway from him. Then he hit him.
And if I'm bidener Trump, That'sthe way I come at this debate.
All the things you're gonna say aboutme that it's negative, I'm going
to address first, and then let'sget serious and talk policy three two,

(01:31:16):
Independent Thoughts, Independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. It's the economy,
stupid. Dining out, going outand eating out with your family comes so
expensive, and we're starting to seethe cracks in that because you got a
few months ago, and let's bereal, you're like, I hear the
economy is not great. But everybodyhere at the restaurant says something different.

(01:31:40):
Seeing this as a forty five minutewait, things are a change. Chris
Breeden owns a century old restaurant andsays, soaring food prices are making dining
out more challenging. Things are definitelymore expensive to eat out, which is
pretty regrettable. Well, the consumerprice in Deck shows grocery prices now leveling
out bread and say, that's notwhat he's seeing, but he's looking for

(01:32:01):
ways to keep costs down for diners. You can't just pass on a doubling
of the price of French fries,for example, to the consumer, because
nobody's going to be paying seventy eightdollars for a side of French fries.
That means smaller or fewer side items. Keep it to the things that matter
to the people. That's it groceries. I mean, for a while there

(01:32:26):
groceries out of control. Dining outwas just as good, right, it's
just cost the same. Now we'vegot fast food where you go and you're
like, okay, I could gohere in order out of a clown's mouth
and it costs the same of mesitting down at a chili's or somewhere.
So why do that? I mean, it's now everything it's catching up.
It's the economy that matters to people, and it is costing more every day

(01:32:54):
to run your business. Are yousure it's not just greed? Jed Kristen
Bailey meantime owns a food truck weeksand meets barbecue. She's cut back on
expensive items to keep her prices affordable. Well, with proteins being so high,
is an item like brisket, I'mlosing forty percent of what I'm actually
paying for. Hospitality management professor DavidCorson says higher utility bills also drive menu

(01:33:15):
prices up, and softening demand isforcing some owners to rethink hours of operation.
What we've seen is a concentration ofdining out that's basically Thursday through Saturday.
Chris Breeden just hope diners understand thatrestaurants are not price gouging. This
is like a perfect storm bruin.Labor cost is up, cost of foods
up. Well, that's not true. It's just because of greedflation. It

(01:33:41):
is not. The reality is simplythis life is more expensive from the cost
of doing business and cities and states, from the cost of keeping your lights
on, to the cost of gettingthe food, to the cost of getting
the food there. It has becomemore expensive, not to mention late,
especially in certain parts of the countryis well. I mean, for what

(01:34:03):
you're doing, it seems a littlebit out of control. But Jed,
you've got to earn a living wage, not a McDonald's. You don't.
That was never the McDonald's was nevermeant to be something. I'm going to
retire at McDonald's and that was neverThat was never supposed to be a thing
unless you want to be a manageror something like that. I'm just putting

(01:34:24):
that out there right now for youto understand. These are the things that
matter to people. These are thethings people are paying attention to. Little
things like this that add up,and that's what people are paying attention to
into the world of politics. Becausewhen people say the world doesn't revolve around

(01:34:45):
you, you're absolutely correct. Butyou know what does revolve around me?
My world and my world's more expensivethree two, three, five, three
eight, twenty four to twenty three. Act you had menton show? Is
your Twitter tweet at as text toprogram. If they can cancel Dolly Parton
and they cancel anybody, the answeris yes. Now. There's a conservative
writer writes for the Federalists, EricaAnderson. She wrote a piece earlier this

(01:35:13):
month in The Federalists about Dolly Parton'sLGBT support community. She called it fosscott
a false gospel and said Parton's invokingher Christianity is the reason she's inclusive is
wrong. Talks about immoral sexual behaviorunaligned with God's vision of humanity, and

(01:35:40):
the knives came out for Dolly.So a bunch of conservatives came out,
and there's all over Dolly, andthen the people who sport Dolly are all
over them, and then the fighthappens, and there didn't need to be
a fight. By the way,people ask me, I'm a Christian,
how do you feel about, youknow, the LGBTQ plus community. I

(01:36:02):
said, I have no problem withlesbians in case I don't bisexuals. The
transagenda I have a problem with.I think most people who are adults in
common sense understand that there's a somethingof brewing there, but I don't.
Well, you're a Christian, yeah, and you know what, I'm a
sinner, as is everybody else outthere. Go backaways. And this was

(01:36:25):
brought up to Dolly with this charactercalled Larry King. Didn't you recently those
throw support to the LGBT community.They've made me the post child. I
think all of it because I'm sooutspoken. As for as just being accepting
of people in general. I donot believe that we should criticize and judge
other people. I think we shouldbe accepting and loving. We are all

(01:36:47):
God's children. We are who weare, and we should be allowed to
be who we are. Okay,I have no problem with that, but
ched that's not very right. Butagain, I'm not here to judd anybody.
The beauty of me is. Iam but a person not here to
judge. Remember that whole part wherethe God's like, hey, you know
what, all of you guys seemto be like good with stone in this

(01:37:11):
lady. So if you've not doneanything wrong, you guys, pick up
the stone and you toss it.Not there to judge. Continue, Dolly,
any of the faith based communities thatdeeply believe the other way take on
bridge with you. Oh absolutely,Oh yes, I get it all the
time. I keep saying, well, if you're the fine Christian that you're
you think you are, why areyou judging people? Why are you That's

(01:37:34):
God's job. We're not God.We're not judges. You know. We're
supposed to love one another. We'resupposed to not judge, and we're not
supposed to take vengeance on other people. That's God's job. So I got
too much to do my own tryto do God's work too. Yeah,
and I agree with that across theboard. And then again that's going back

(01:37:54):
away. That was when Larry Kingwas still alive. They're canceling now.
The lad that wrote the article hascome out and said, look, I
love Dolly and I didn't want anyof this to happen. And it's part
of that, you know, situationthat we're in, we're finding ourselves in,
which is we battle each other overthe most ridiculous things. We want

(01:38:15):
to make one person something you know, controversial, and they were never going
to cancel Dolly. So by allaccounts, right, you know, as
one person put it in the inthe article. One of the fifty five
hundred articles have been written about thislately, which I find interesting is the
gays in California and the Hillbillies inAppalachia, they all make tracks to Dollywood

(01:38:42):
because they all love Dolly. It'slike the one thing we could all agree
on. And I just find itfascinating because why did you have to go
and do something like this, Becausethat's where we are. We can go
from there to what the New Yorkerdid when it came to Republican women.
It's a new article in the NewYorker front page about whether or not Republican

(01:39:04):
women are okay right, like,are they mentally? Are they fit?
Are they okay? Well? Ithink this article, this essay looks at
Republican women as a monolith as they'reall the same, they should all hold
be held to the same standards,and that's simply not true. And it
really looks at specifically some of theloudest voices in the party who are women,

(01:39:26):
people like Marjorie Taylor Green, NancyMace, and others who, frankly,
they don't represent the entire country,they represent their constituents. You know,
women are going to play an importantrole in this upcoming election, and
Democrats are counting on that. Pollinghas showed that suburban women, in particular
in these battleground states, they've talkedabout issues like abortion being a real motivator

(01:39:49):
for them to get out to thepolls come November. So we're going to
continue to see women, female votersbe a focus from both the left and
the right as we move forward.Yeah, but the way that they attacked
Republican women as if they're mentally disturbedthat their husbands are forcing them to be

(01:40:10):
that. Let's go over the numbersagain. I like to break this stuff
down. Single women super far progressive, super far to the left. Married
women for the most part conservative,not super hardcore MAGA, but center right.

(01:40:31):
But to ask the question in theway that they framed it as if
they're mentally disturbed is another one ofthose things where you're not interested in any
real answer, you're interested in causinga controversy. First of all, this
article spends most of its time complainingabout the historic misogyny and sexism that women
in politics have had to face throughouttheir careers, people like Hillary Clinton and

(01:40:55):
Sarah Palin constantly having to worry aboutwhat they look like, how they were
dressed, and then around and doesthe exact same thing to modern Republican women,
complaining that they're too brash, theylike guns too much, sometimes they
dress in workout clothes, and sometimesthey dress in pantsuits, and how all
of that is apparently unacceptable because theyhold the wrong political beliefs. And conservative

(01:41:15):
women have been dealing with this fromthe left for a long time. Hillary
Clinton infamously said that women who didn'tvote for her were probably pressured by their
husbands or by their fathers, Andto put it out there is if they're
mentally disturbed. And it's funny becausewhen you break things down, who spends
more time in therapy, who's onmore antidepressants? Who is depressed more often?
According to all of the polls andstatistics, it's liberal women. But

(01:41:39):
nobody's asking that question. Three two, three, five, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad BensonShows your Twitter tweet at as Text a

(01:43:16):
Chad Benson Show. I'll always wonderhow Trump supporters are going to be able
to look their kids in the eyeafter voting for him in twenty twenty four,
Like they're gonna sit their kids downand it's gonna go like Hey,
John, Hey Sarah. So youknow I just voted for convicted fellon Donald
Trump. I tell you guys tofollow the rules, but this is the
exception. And he doesn't care aboutthe biggest issue facing your generation, climate

(01:43:38):
change, the one you guys careabout most. And he didn't make any
investments in your future the first timehe was president. But I had to
support him. I love him somuch. Oh that's a social media influencer.
Harry Siston, Hey John, andSarah. I had to vote for
him. I don't have to votefor him, but I sit here and

(01:44:00):
because when you listen to that,you're like, how do you look the
kids in the eyes? He didn'tfix climate change. The rest of the
world's not doing anything about it,but Trump didn't do it himself. It
gets better, though, so you'relook in your kids in the eyes and
say, hey, you need tofollow the rules. And what I like
is when you get somebody like this. There's plenty of them out there on

(01:44:21):
both sides of the aisle, bythe way, who say wacky things.
Is nobody ever talks about personal responsibility, or maybe the other side does some
things that aren't very good either.It's always about hey, this person's bad
and evil, and Sarah, yeah, Donald Trump took away your reproductive rights,
brags about doing it. He alsobragged on audio about assaulting women and

(01:44:43):
then was held liable in court forsexually abusing a woman. And the Republicans
vote against protecting the right to contraceptionand protecting IVF. But I just love
Trump and oh, John, Yeah, So all those student loans you have,
they're about to be forgiven by PresidentBiden because he's forgiven more student loans
than any president before him. Yeah, No, can't do anymore. I
just I had to vote for Trump. That's exactly how the conversation's gonna go.

(01:45:04):
How are you gonna sit down andhave that conversation with your kids with
a straight face? Okay, soI'll have that conversation, Sarah, John,
don't get anybody pregnant, and don'tget pregnant. Personal responsibility, pretty
simple there. Secondly, if you'retaking out loans, pay those loans back.
That's it. The men into governmentwill allow people to vote themselves all

(01:45:29):
the goodies they want. The democracywill die. And constitutionally, he does
not have the right to just go. We're gonna get rid of all of
these loans. Sorry, you talkabout personal responsibility and you talk about the
fact that we have a constitution,and constitutionally, he just can't do that.
Sorry, that's the way it is. Okay, thank you, guys,

(01:45:50):
appreciate that. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three At Chad Bensonshow's your Twitter, your Instagram, all
of the other things. It's thattime the show when we give you some
stupid information and then I go andspoil it all by saying something stupid.
It all take stupid pills this morning. It's the honest ones you want to

(01:46:12):
watch out for because you can neverpredict they're gonna do something incredibly stupid.
Now you're the fact stupid one withthe big mouth is stupid, little astro
try. You should never underestimize thepredictability of stupidity. Now it's time for
stupid information. In earlier today,we're talking about social media influencers. They're

(01:46:39):
not getting rich, they're barely gettingby, making very little money. And
a lot of the reason is becausewhen social media influencers first became a thing,
a lot of these companies to getviewers, to get people to come
to their sites. We're throwing moneyat them to build up some of these
people to have celebrities, and nowwhich changing algorithms. The fact that there

(01:47:00):
are so many people already on theseplatforms they're not making money just isn't happening.
Because everybody wants to be mister Beesor Pootie Pye or all these other
people, right Ryan and Ryan's Toys. It's all changed. It has and
because you're willing to do it.It's like comedy used to be in the

(01:47:21):
eighties. Man, you make aton of money doing comedy. Now everybody
realizes people will do it for free, so they get to the point where
they can make some money, andvery few of them make any real big
money in comedy. Who was thefirst social media influencer? Many people say
Justin Kahn co founded the live streamingplatform Justin dot tv, or Julian Allison

(01:47:45):
who, well, she was ontons of different platforms and she is kind
of the godmother of social media.Remember, there were bloggers back in the
day before there became the social mediainfluencers we recognize today. We look at
social media influencers, nano influencers onethousand to ten thousand followers, micro influencers,
ten thousand to fifty thousand followers,mid tier influencers fifty to five hundred

(01:48:11):
thousand followers, macro influencers five hundredthousand to a million followers, Mega influencers
a million to five million followers,and celebrity influencers above five million. That
is crazy, by the way,if you want to know something else,
every minute, three hundred hours ofvideos are uploaded to YouTube and five million

(01:48:34):
videos are watched every single day.They don't need to spend the money anymore
to get people to come because peopleare already there. Three two, three,
five, three eight, twenty fourto twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
to Twitter, your Instagram, SolidFund Show Today as always on the
Chad Benson Show, a lot ofstuff still to get to. Where week
