(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson, six days away from
the Great Debate. What do thepoll numbers look like? We need to
know, We need to know.Fox not happy if you're Trump by the
Fox polling, but we got alot of other poles to look at.

(00:30):
A new Fox News poll shows Bidenleading Trump by two points fifty to forty
eight. Trump responding on social media, writing, Fox News polls are always
the worst for me. They havebeen from the beginning and always will be.
Have they have? They really It'snot been a good couple weeks for

(00:52):
Trump when it comes to polling.But polling doesn't matter. We've talked about
that over and over again. Itmatters in certain air in states. But
it also you can frame everything insuch a way that you can kind of
elicit the answers and things you want, depending how you phrase stuff. But
if we were to look at stuffover the swing states, which is the
only thing that matters, that's it. I hate to break it to you

(01:19):
guys, but I live in Maine. You matter as a person, but
you don't matter in the election.But I live in Florida. You matter
as a person, but not theelection. California you matter, but not
for the election. New York,you matter, Texas, you met,
not for the election. What's itlook like? Average? Trump up by

(01:47):
one point seven on average up untilMay thirtieth. Now Biden is up by
less than a point, almost atwo point swing. Trump has lost ground
in Michigan and Wisconsin big time,but Biden's still not up by a full

(02:10):
point in either of those, allwithin the margin of air. Now when
it comes to places, that's thisMichigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona,
Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina.Trump is still winning Pennsylvania, but it's
a push. He's still up inArizona by almost three points, Nevada three
points, Georgia almost five, inNorth Carolina up by about six. But

(02:36):
Biden is cut into the leads ofevery one of those, and in fact,
in Nevada he went from a sixpoint two lead Trump down to a
two point nine, so a threepoints swing right there. And we're just
days away from the Great Debate,which I think will have a massive play

(02:58):
on every thing. This I think, and CNN is hoping that this is
it, right, like this iseverything that is the thing, that this
will be the start because I lookat this as the start really of the
presidential race in earnest because they getto look at each other, They get

(03:19):
to stare at each other. Thisis it. Biden on the coin flip,
so he gets to stand on theright side. I guess at the
podium, Trump will have the lastword, which you know Trump will love.
No audience, the microphones will bemuted. It's the great debate,
edlous. Your new piece is entitledthe Mother of all US presidential debates.

(03:43):
What are you expecting set the scenefor us? Important thing, Mika,
I think is that the terms andthe rules of next week's debate mostly suit
Biden. We're the ones. Bidenrequested no live audience, which Trump of
course needs and feeds off. Sothat's bad for Trump. Mike of the
one not speaking, gets turned off. They're muted, and then there's two

(04:04):
commercial breaks. I guess you couldsee them as, given both men's age,
as bathroom breaks. Okay, soBiden got those things. Trump gave
in a lot. Let's be real, he gave in a lot that live
audience, and I'm glad there's nolive audience because I think it is you
start playing to the audience I thinkit becomes a clapfest. I'm totally fine

(04:24):
with that. These are two menwho want to be leaders of the free
world. You don't need cheering.Okay, let's just hear what you have
to say. I think this isgoing to be one of the few presidential
debates this and the one schedule forSeptember that could sway an election. There's
only really been three, and thatwas the first between Nixon and Kennedy in
nineteen sixty, which had a hugeimpact for those who watched it on TV

(04:49):
as opposed to listening to it onthe radio in a very close election.
I think this debate between Biden andTrump in hugely consequential, it sky high
importance. Yeah, I think sotoo, and we'll talk about that in
a second for both men, bythe way. So but when you think
about it, how many of thesesway? Well, that first one We've

(05:11):
talked about a lot over the years. Nixon looked Listening and watching separated the
way that people voted. People whosaw Nixon, It's okay, they saw
what was going on, the sweatthe whole. Like. We can go
on and on about how that thingplayed itself out, but there's no doubt

(05:32):
that the optics compared to just listeningchanged the lot during that debate. There
are really sort of two parameters.One is we want not to be talking.
Biden wants people not to be talkingabout his age, and he wants
people to be talking about Trump's character. That's really the goal here, and
for Trump, he's going to flipthe script. He wants to talk about

(05:55):
the age. He wants to talkabout all the things that are happening globally.
They're going south. He wants totalk about the nightmare immigration. He
wants to talk about a lot ofstuff that is going on that people are
not thrilled by those numbers we seeinflation, immigration, those numbers are big.
Biden's going to make it about reproductiverights, and I'm sure I'll make

(06:19):
it about the character side of things. I don't know how that's going to
play and how that goes over andcan Trump maintain cool and calm character in
that situation will be very interesting tosee. Van Jones though he thinks this
is it this, this, thisis the entire election. As far as

(06:40):
I'm concerned, the entire world willbe watching there. If you if you
are a carbon based life form,you're going to be watching. If you've
got a functioning brainstem, you're goingto be watching. Because if Biden goes
out there and messes up, it'sgame over. If he if he walks
out of there and a week laterhe's lower in the polls, it's panic

(07:00):
in the party. But if hegoes in there and he can handle himself
against Donald Trump, a runaway train, a locomotive, a raging bull,
then this guy deserves another shot tobe president because that is tough. You
couldn't do it. I couldn't doit. If you can stand toe to
toe with a runaway train like DonaldTrump for an hour and a half,
you are fit to be president,period, point blank. This is the

(07:21):
whole presidency in a bottle in aweek, the whole presidency, the enchilada,
the big enchilada in one week.So it's going to be very very
interesting to see how this plays itselfout. Obviously, we're gonna have all
kinds of full team coverage on Friday. But the the way that this because

(07:45):
the big fear for both sides isthe senior moment is the it's that we're
looking we know what we get withTrump. We kind of know what we
get with Biden and a lot ofthe stuff. What we don't know is
what are we getting with Biden?Does he have a senior moment? Does
he freeze? Does he pull aMitch McConnell, or just does he do

(08:11):
something where you're just like, thereis no way he can survive another four
years? There is no way.Does Trump do what he did in the
first as he screamed, as heyelled? Does he talk over everything even
though the MIC's are muted, doeshe show his anger? What happens?
Does he have a senior moment?Those what people are looking for. Are
we looking at policy? Now?We kind of know what we get with

(08:33):
these guys, and policy does matter, but it's temperament and age that's going
to be on display. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ChadBenson Show, to Twitter, your
Instagram. A lot of stuff toget to today, including scotus. Are
they going to have any of thesethings day tomorrow, next week when it

(08:56):
because they in not a lot oftime left. The court's term is scheduled
and in a week. Key questionswe still expect the justices to answer include
these, whether City's efforts to banhomeless encampments violate the Constitution, whether hospitals
in states where abortion is banned mustprovide the procedure and emergencies, whether alleged
domestic abusers can have their guns takenaway, And what's perhaps the most watched

(09:18):
case of the term, whether DonaldTrump enjoys absolute immunity for his official acts
leading up to January sixth. Thatis going to be very interesting. We're
not going to get them all today. We may get one or two,
and maybe we talk about him today, maybe we don't, depending on when
they come in. But I don'tthink that they're you know, they're going

(09:39):
to roll them out much later.I think towards more of the controversial ones,
towards the end of next week.We may get something today. It's
a Friday that you know, maybewe get a dump of something, if
you will. But the immunity thingsinteresting. And one of the things I
was reading about with the Scout iswhy it's taking so long, and we
touched on them the other day,is the miss trust right now, not

(10:01):
so much with the justices, butbecause of the Dobbs decision and the leak,
things are taking longer. They're beingmore careful with what is going on,
because they don't want another situation wheresomething gets out and is leaked and
then of course causes hell and havoc. And ah, they've already got I
think they've already got fences up.I don't know if that's just precaution or

(10:26):
if they expect something crazy. Woo. Speaking of crazy, it's going on
with social media. I e.TikTok. You guys remember that it's Chinese
owned parent companies says it will notsell the app to American investors, as
required by a recently passed federal lawprompted by national security concerns. In newly
filed court documents, TikTok argues thelaw violates the First Amendment and says it's

(10:48):
engaged the US government for years onways to protect Americans data and criticizing lawmakers,
say they reached for a sledgehammer withouteven considering a scalpel. Would suffice
so hard when it comes to TikTok. And we have fun on TikTok Tuesdays,
but look at what the Chinese arein it to win it. We

(11:11):
know they're doing all of these thingswhen it comes to grabbing our data,
spying, on us. We addedanother tool for them to use, and
a tool where we became obsessed andthis people say it's a free speech It's
not a free speech thing. Thereare other places you can go and do

(11:33):
the same thing. Maybe not withthose algorithms, maybe not with those things
that they have, at least notyet that magic sauce. But that being
said, it is still a toolthey use, and to say that they
don't would be an absolute lie.Three two, three, five, three

hot out there. It's going tobe a hot one this weekend from Oklahoma
City to Little Rock, Nashville,Washington, d C. As we go
through the latter half of the weekend, all have a shot of breaking records.
So we're not done with it,Nope, not done with it at
all. Be prepared, make suredrink water, be careful out there.

(13:33):
Yesterday my son and I played somegolf and it was hot, but we
made sure we drink a lot ofwater. It was still though it's hot
everywhere. Just want everybody to understandhow hot it's going to be because it's
summer, and that happens all climatechange. I know, I know it.
It is Friday, by the way, and because it's Friday, you
know what that means. It's finallyFriday. Do not drink me, please,

(14:01):
for y'all safety, do not draftme. Well, I have two.
My greatest in baseball was last weekwhen I hit my five hundred and
twelve home runs. Donald Trump isdestroying our country. I've got one hundred
dollars walking in my hole. Iknow how I say. Anybody's burning a
hold, go through my fugging inand do my skim Come on morning,

(14:24):
I'll be burned. It's fine,fine, I'm free. I've done my
motor running more again. It's finethat drum working working. Overweight people keep
all the food in their belly.Therefore they would live longer than people who

(14:48):
aren't overweight. It's over trying tosave again Boston. Anything's possible, fatter
number eighteen, that's been secure.It's fine. And then from this is

(15:13):
all about family unity, keeping familiestogether. We can both secure the border
and provide legal passports and citizens.They have to acknowledge that's the patience and
good rule of the American people's beingtested by the spirits of the board.
They don't understand the long Anderson Cooperhas never never had mustard anahato in his
life. I mean, what's thepoint if you like catch up, Wow,
you need mustard? How is thatpossible? You know? Why do

(15:35):
you need it? Why isn't itnormal to say, how do you pride
to people with the entire month ofJune? Like in real life? Three
two, three, five, threeeight, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Show, is your Twittertweet? At as text? The program
in the Chad Benson Show coming up? So much stuff still to get to
the craziest question, I think thathas been asked at a debate in I

(15:56):
don't know, maybe forever. Whenyou hear this, you're thinking to yourself,
how in God's name is this evenreal? Because it is so looney,
you will think this has to bea parody. It is not.
It is San Francisco, which inmany cases always feels like a parody.
Plus McDonald's what's on that five dollarsvalue menu? Are people happy or angry

(16:21):
about that? Do you think Grimaceis on the value menu? I don't.
You don't get to eat Grimace orany of them. Silly, don't
even ask that question. Plus,Reggie Jackson last night went back to a
minor league ballpark that he played atat one time in Birmingham, Alabama.
What he said, Man, howfar we've come? But whoa what he

(16:44):
went through? Talk about that aswell right here on the Chat Benson Show,

(17:37):
Son, Chad Benson, Joe,Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This

(18:02):
is Chad Benson. McDonald's is rollingat a special five dollars value menu next
month to try to luris and priceconscious consumers back to its restaurants as inflation
sticks around. Will it work?Five dollars value meal and a national ad
campaign. I'll have people loving itagain. The problem is consumers at the
lower end of the income spectrum havejust been painfully stretched lately. As we
saw on Wednesday CPI report, rentprices are hogging family budgets, leaving less

(18:27):
for splurges like eating out. That'sright, McDonald's Debta, debtad da.
Will you be loving it? Theyhave unveiled they're five dollars value menu.
My bobber So, I thought itwas going to be a full menu of
stuff, but it is not.It's kind of like a meal. Well
it sounds great. You get asandwich, either a my Chicken or a

(18:48):
mcdouble, which I had never heardof, but apparently it's a budget double
cheeseburg was only one slice of cheese, small fries, small drinks, four
nuggets. Now, getting this valuemenu you approved by the franchisees was like
passing them in to the constitution.They sent it back, said the numbers
don't work. Coca Cola had tobreak the deadlock by kicking in a few
million dollars of vicentdos. But nowMcDonald's can do a national ad campaign with

(19:10):
a simple message with a low pricethat people want, a low price that
people want, So that's what youget. I was looking at, going
really, mcdouble or the chicken.By the way, I've had the mcdouble.
It's good, small fries, fournuggets, a drink. They've also
been running free fries Friday. Saythat three times fast. It started a

(19:33):
promotion with the customers. So whatyou do if you buy a menu item
that cost a dollar through the chain'sapps. So you gotta have the app,
you get a complementary medium fry.So it started last year, they've
bringing that back. How do customersfeel about Are they loving it? McDonald's
this month, June twenty fifth,is going to be releasing for a limited

(19:56):
time only, a five dollar valuemenu. You can get to the McChicken,
supposedly, the mcdouble, and ofcourse a banging four piece McNugget meal,
all for five dollars. Who wefool in McDonald's That value menu sucks.

(20:17):
Five dollars value meal, A fourpiece nugget. I think dat got
me the most. A four piecenugget for five dollars. I'd just try
to get a happy meal. Sothere you go. It's kind of what
it is. It's a little bitof a happy all. You just don't
get a toy, but it's onlyfive bucks. I'll tell you what.
I still have sticker shock last night. So yesterday Jack, my son fourteen,

(20:41):
I played golf yesterday. I haven'tgolfed in months because I'm million to
the pick a ball, playing alot, getting fit, and so we
went golf last night. We stoppedat a place that is a popular fast
food chain. I just want totell you. Even my son said,
are you kid kidding me? Isaid, Jack, I'm gonna tell that

(21:03):
story tomorrow. We got four drinksand four cookies. Brought the cookies home
for the girls because my wife andbarbecue while we're out golfing, and we
got everybody four drinks. We've gotsome sprites, nothing big, thirty two
ounces. Oh my god, twentyfive bucks? Are you kidding me?
Donnut dut dutt wasn't McDonald's. ButI'll tell you what. I ain't loving

(21:25):
that. Are you kidding me?Holy Moley? That is insane? And
he said twenty five dollars for that? I said, I know, brother,
life is expensive. We got fourcookies and four drinks. That's nuts.

(21:47):
That is crazy. And they weren'tlike they were the greatest cookies of
all time. It wasn't. Itwas just I was again the sticker shock
inflation. Right, you guys arefeeling it, big deal, no doubt
about that. Moving on, lastnight, Major League Baseball played a baseball
game in Birmingham, Alabama, homeof it racism the South Civil rights movement.

(22:17):
They played at an old stadium,Rickwood Stadium, Reggie Jackson was there
and this you're going to see thiseverywhere today. And I even debated pulling
out some of the language he usedbecause he used it on life. He
bet it was cable, so it'sa little bit different. But I will
tell you they asked him because heplayed here. He played at this stadium,

(22:37):
and he played at a time evenin Major League Baseball with the A's
where there was all kinds of issuesrace wise. When people ask me a
question like that, it's like,coming back here is not easy. The
racism that I played here, whenI played here, the diffult call,

(23:00):
the of going through different places wherewe traveled. Fortunately I had a manager
and I had players on the teamthat helped me get through it. But
I wouldn't wish it on anybody.That's how it started out. How'd you
feel about all of this? Comein back here, seeing the stadium.

(23:21):
Then he gets serious about what happenedand tells the story of what it was
like back in the day. Peoplesaid to me today. I spoke and
I said, you think you're abetter person. You think you you won
when you played here and conquered.I said, you know, I would

(23:41):
never wanted to do it if youwant to do it again. I walked
into restaurants and they would point atme and said eat here. I would
go to a hotel and I say, they can't stay here. We went
to Charlie Finley's country club for awelcome home dinner and they pointed with the
end word, he can't come inhere. Finley marched the whole team out.

(24:07):
Finally they let me in there.He said, we're going to go
to the diner and eat Hamburgers.Ll go where we're wanted. Fortunately,
I had a manager and Johnny McNamarathat if I couldn't eat in the place
nobody would eat, we'd get foodto travel. If I couldn't stay in
a hotel, they'd drive to thenext hotel and find a place where I
could stay. Think about that fora second greatest baseball players of all time.

(24:33):
You know, we talk about theracism in the world and from where
we've come from and acknowledged that,you know, to where we are today.
How we eliminate it by the way, you know, you go look
at the rest of the world.It took them beyond a few decades.
It took them sentries upon sentries uponsentries upon sentries to get rid of slavery

(24:56):
and stuff. It doesn't mean racism'sgone, but understand we've come a long
way. But when you listen tohim, and he was choked up because
understand the time Birmingham, Alabama.Understand the time he was in. Even
people that helped him faced issues.Had it not been for Roley Fingers,

(25:17):
Johnny McNamara, Dave Duncan, Joeand Sharon Rudy. I slept on their
couch three four nights a week forabout a two month and a half.
Finally they were threatened that they wouldburn our apartment complex down unless I got
out. I wouldn't wish it onanyone. The year I came here,

(25:38):
boll Connor was the sheriff the yearbefore, and they took based by the
League Baseball out of here because innineteen sixty three, the clan murdered four
black girls children in eleven, twelve, fourteen years old at a church here
and never got indicted. It wasthere from the Klan Life magazine did a

(26:00):
story on them, like you werebeing honored. I wouldn't wish it on
anyone. Just fascinating to watch andhow raw and real it was. From
mister October. Last night, ReggieJackson going back to Rickwood, going back
to Birmingham, and you know,I think he you know, he said,

(26:22):
look, did it make me kindof who I am? Yeah?
Would I ever want to go throughthat again? No? No, it's
sad. But then at the sametime, thope that I think we need
to have because of where we havecome from and I think where we're going.

(26:48):
I think it's just it's amazing.And I don't think we give ourselves
enough credit as a nation and asa people because everybody's always especially here in
this country, younger generation is alwayslooking to damn the older generation and that
this is the evil nation. Andyou're an idiot if you think that.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty three
at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter,tweet atis texta program? All right?

(27:12):
I said I was gonna play it, and I'm gonna play it. I
want to give you guys a snapshotof what's going on. There is a
mayoral race in San Francisco. Right, San Francisco the feces human feces Capital
of the World. They have poopmaps. San Francisco the drug capital,

(27:33):
shopping shoplifting capitol. I'm going togo on and on how not to run
a city. And Mayor London Breedwants another chance, so she's running.
And the person that's probably closest towinning is also a Democrat, but he
would be considered probably a Republican bythe way that we measure them. So

(27:56):
the first debate they got into itabout LGBTQ stuff. This debate also the
one question that you were allowed toask another candidate, Mayor Breed, take
it away. You were at thedebate last week and couldn't name any drag
queens on your own. I waswondering if you could have this is an

(28:22):
opportunity to redeem yourself, and ifyou could name three LGBTQ advisors for your
campaign and three drag queens at SanFrancisco. I just that is the measure,
apparently in San Francisco, of howyou get elected. If you can't

(28:42):
name the three drag queens that areyour favorites, you're not fit to hold
office. This is why San Franciscois a blanking mess. Three two,
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad
Benson showed your Twitter a lot ofstuff still to get to. We lost
a legendary actor yesterday, Queen setto make a lot of money. The

(30:15):
sounds great compared to this. Ithink he's the greatest frontman ever for any
band since passed away. Obviously weknow Freddie Mercury, but Queen still is
massive. How massive they're selling theircatalog? What do you get with the
catalog? We'll tell you about it, but let's enjoy some of the amazing

(30:38):
music of Queen. I me,I could listen to Queen all day.

(31:17):
Some of you are probably rocking outin the car as well. But they're
for sale, and if you havethe right amount of money, you could
buy Queen sony music, buying theirentire catalog, but not just their catalog,

(31:45):
everything for one point two billion dollars. So get ready for this.
You guys know about Queen founded inthe nineteen sixties. Obviously Freddy Mercury again,
like I said, the greatest frontmanin rock and roll history. This

(32:06):
is what you get for your onepoint two million dollars, recording and publishing
rights as well as ownership the band'sname, image and likeness. What's that
mean? Broadway Show on the Way, more films, advertisement. According to
a valuation, this is a greatdeal for Sony because based on the music

(32:28):
of Queen, the opportunity to cashin is massive. I don't know how
they break it up. I'm assumingit's going to be what three hundred million
dollars to each member, and Freddie'sestate will get a portion of though he'll
get the three hundred million, andthen you know, the other guys will
divide up. I'm assuming. Idon't know, but that is a lot

(32:49):
of money and it is the biggestin history. Oh yeah, Hey,
this weekend, what are you gonnado? Go see a movie. I
think I'm taking the kids and seeInside Out. Although I kind of like
to see this movie. The bikeriders roaring into theaters this weekend, though
the sixties motorcycle gang Flip won't berevving up the box office FORLD you to
take that and jacket off. You'dhave to kill me to get this jacket

(33:09):
off. The film, starring AustinButler, Tom Hardy, and Jody Komer,
is looking at maybe ten million dollaropening in North America, which should
top all new releases, but it'llbe trounced by last weekend's winner, Inside
Out two. Yeah, there's nodoubt about that. But it looks cool.
And I'm always fascinated with motorcycle world, the one percenter kind of thing.

(33:31):
And every Wednesday night and Sunday night, I watched this Hell's Angel thing
on, which isn't just a Hell'sAngel. I mean, Hell's Angels is
what it's about, but it's aboutall of the motorcycle gangs. And I
got Jack into it the other night. He's like, I'd like to see
this. I said, we will, just you and I do. We'll
go out one day and we'll watchthis movie. And I love Tom Hardy.
He's awesome. He really is.Three two three, five, three

(33:51):
eight, twenty four to twenty threeat Chad Benson Show. Is Your Twitter?
One of the greatest actors of alltime. According Tiefer Sutherland, his
father, Donald Sutherlan, passed awayyesterday eighty eight years old and brilliant actor.
Loved him in Animal House, butjust in a ton of stuff stuff.
You forget that. He was inmash right, the Hunger Games,

(34:12):
ordinary people. Let's take a fondlook back at the amazing Donald Sutherland.
You know something, You're not strong, and I don't know if you're really
giving, tell me something. Soyou love me, you really love me.
I feel the way I've always feltit that I don't think he's going
to come back again. I justdon't want to be alone right now.
What else do you remember about theman of Beatum? Nothing? But you

(34:35):
cannot identify this man as Tom Grinneman. I can't identify him as anybody.
What do you do? Who I'mdoing in this hospital? Man? We
are surgeons and we are here tooperate. We're just waiting for a starting
time. You can't even go neara patients until Colonel Nell says it's okay,
and he's still out to lunch hop. It is the only thing stronger
than fear. Yeah. Just abrilliant actor and his voice was just amazing.

(35:00):
Passed away after a decent illness.It was. He fought it for
a while and his last part thathe played was in the bass Reeves mini
series. That's incredible if you've donewho bass Reeves is arguably the greatest lawman
in the Old West, and hewas in it, and he's just he's

(35:22):
a brilliant actor. And it passedaway yesterday. Ahad eight three two three,
five three eight twenty four twenty threeat Chedminston Show. Is your Twitter
little entertainment for you right there.I hope you feel good that you've learned
some stuff about the entertainment world.On the Chad Beinson Show coming up next
hour, so much stuff to getyou. Got some of your comments about
the wacky insane question that London Breedasked. We also have just a bunch

(35:46):
of other stuff. We're heading intodebate week. I mean, this is
it. It's it's getting serious.Now we know what's going on in the
world of politics. We know what'shappening. What does that look like?
More on the Fauci insane and hejust watching the view yesterday, just fallen
over him and it's nuts. I'msorry. The guy lied through his damn

(36:07):
teeth. That guy played the gamepolitically. That guy represented science, which
was just such horsecrap. So wehad got so much stuff, including yes,
the horsecrap of fout you. Itis the Chad Benson Show. This
is the Chad Benson Show, Independentthoughts, independent life, This is Chad

(36:52):
Benson. You know when you're inmiddle school and your two worst enemies have
a sleepover and spend the whole nighttalking about you, Well, that just
happened to America. Two of America'sfiercest adversaries together on North Korean soil,
Vladimir Putin arriving in Pyongyang for thefirst time in nearly a quarter of a
century, North Korea's Kim Jongling pullingout all this time. Best friends forever,

(37:17):
Russia and North Korea. It's theperfect alliance. They go together like
vodka and famine. Yeah, kindof funny. I think it is because
they're insane and they're together and theyneed each other. Part of what we'll
be talked about, I'm sure inthe debating world on Thursday night, less

(37:38):
than a week away. We'll getto debate in a minute. But together,
best friends, frenemies, no morelovers lovers. How does that make
you feel? Doesn't it make youfeel warm and cozy? That nuclear powers
who hate the West are pals.Everyone wins. I mean Russia against North

(38:00):
Korean weapons and North Korea gets whateverPutin has of those nesting dolls and Tucker
Cousland's phone number I don't know.And now that Russias North Korean weapons,
watch out, Ukraine, get readyfor some missiles that blow up on the
launching pad. Ah look at theway they did that. It's possible.

(38:21):
It's possible, but they're already helpingthem out. But this is part of
the stuff that needs to be talkedabout at the debate. One of the
other things is what the hell's goingon with Israel. So they're supposed to
meet yesterday. A bunch of officialsTuesday, Biebe puts out a video basically
says, yeah, this administration sucks. We aren't getting crap from you guys.

(38:45):
And they were already on their wayover here when the administration says,
yeah, we're canceling all of this. We're not going to meet with you
guys. There is a growing senseof frustration among US officials towards Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin that Yahoo after those commentswhere he claimed the the US was withholding
military aid for Israel yesterday, theWhite House pushed back on that, saying

(39:06):
they have no idea what Nott inYahoo was talking about, and we generally
do not know what he's talking about. Do you really not know what he's
talking about? I don't know.Maybe they do, maybe they don't.
Are they holding stuff back? See? This is the thing with this administration
and how they operate and I'm nottrying to look I think, especially at

(39:29):
first, I think they came outand I think they're very strong when it
came to Israel. Then they hemmedin hard, which is exactly what Biden
does. Go look at Biden's trackrecord of talking circles don't really have any
action, doesn't real That's what happens, especially in the geopolitical world, which

(39:52):
isn't a good thing. By theway, we do know that in early
May, the US paused a shipmentof heavy bo to Israel out of concern
about the way it could be usedin densely populated population areas in Rafa.
And take a listen to what boththe Secretary of State and the White House
had to say. We, asyou know, are continuing to review one

(40:15):
shipment that President Biden has talked aboutwith regard to two thousand pound bombs because
of our concerns about their use ina densely populated area like Rafa. That
remains under review. But everything elseis moving as it normally would move.
We generally do not know what he'stalking about. We just don't. Yeah,

(40:35):
we know you don't, but maybethe other adults in the room too.
KJP does not very nice jet.For the record, one of their
big military folks came out today andsaid, we're never going to defeat the
ideology of Hamas, the thing thatwe've been talking about for a long time.
What will defeat Hamas is the peoplerealizing they no longer want to live

(40:59):
like it's fifth century. That's whatwill defeat Hamas. But you have to
finish whatever job you think you're starting. The problem is with bb and I
understand the frustration a lot of placesis what exactly is the end goal?
Because the goal is to win?What is winning absolutely look like that?

(41:21):
I don't know, and we're goingto find that out sooner rather than later.
Debate the Great Debate taking place thisThursday, So six days from today
next Thursday night, the debate it'sgoing to look like. Is this it?

(41:46):
Why so early? There's a lotof reasons. I think we all
know why early is a part ofthis because what's going on with Biden and
going to get better between now andNovember. There's just a sense that because
the Biden can't really pushed for it, no crowd, because Trump plays off
the crowd so well, he'll bedeprived of that there was a coin flip

(42:07):
yesterday and the Biden team won thecoin flip picked which podium to have as
opposed to the ability to go last. So actually it will be Trump who
delivers the closing argument next Thursday,at least to Eugene's point, the Biden
camp, we can tell how importantthey think this moment is for when they
wanted to have it June, theearliest we've had a general action debate in

(42:27):
decades, because they do need toremind Americans this is the choice. They
need to remind Americans, Hey,this is who Donald Trump is and who
he will be again and exactly whois that? Well, he's a meanie,
okay, but did he lead usinto wars? No, we're times
good. Yeah, but COVID Okay, we step away from COVID for a
second. Like the failure on COVIDand we're going to talk about it later

(42:52):
on this hour is tremendous. Andthat a lot of people have blame for
that nuclear war, right like someof the stuff I saw that the war.
He's going to lead us to warafter war. No, wants no
part of any of that stuff.He is going to do this, He's
going to do None of that stuffhappened. It was all rhetoric. And

(43:15):
as I say over and over againwith somebody like Donald Trump, is so
much of it is personality based.You don't like his personality. So but
we know what we're going to getand how and how evil it was when
he ran. It's nuts. Butthere is a reason why they're doing it
early. There is, and whatthe Democrats are afraid of, Well,

(43:40):
the Biden campaign needs to set thenarrative early that Biden is confident and capable,
capable to lead going forward and heabsolutely cannot have a senior moment at
this debate. That's what I heardfrom I was in Wisconsin and Michigan two
weeks ago for a lot of focusgroups, and what I heard from voters

(44:00):
Democrats who support Biden is just thatthey are going to be watching and they
want to make sure that he's upto the task. They might still be
planning to vote for him, butif they, but they still they're uncomfortable
about the age. And it reallyis an alpatross that is hanging around this
candidate campaign. Yeah, that momentthey're waiting for. For a lot of

(44:23):
people, somebody like Van Jones,Hey, this this is the moment potentially
in this race. This this,this is the entire election. As far
as I'm concerned, the entire worldwill be watching there. If you,
if you are a carbon based lifeform, you're going to be watching.
If you've got a functioning brainstem,you're going to be watching. Because if

(44:46):
Biden goes out there and messes up, it's game over. If he If
he walks out there and a weeklater he's lower in the polls, it's
panic in the party. But ifhe goes in there and he can handle
himself against Donald Trump, a runawaytrain, a locomotive, a raging bull,
then this guy deserves another shot tobe president. Because that is tough.

(45:06):
You couldn't do it. I couldn'tdo it. If you can stand
toe to toe with a runaway trainlike Donald Trump for an hour and a
half, you are fit to bepresident, period, point blank. This
is the whole presidency in a bottlein a week, the Agelada, if
you will. So, do Ithink Biden's going to do well. I
think he's going to be fine.I do. I think they're giving me

(45:29):
a shot in the ass, asTrump would say, And I think he's
going to be fine. I thinkhe's going to come through this thing relatively
unscathed. I saw New Gingrich earliertoday said all Trump needs to do is
remain calm, Easier said than done. What's going to be asked? What
are the topics? Trump will hadthe last word? Biden gets to pick

(45:52):
what podium he's at. It's goingto be muted, you know. I
mean he gave in a lot Trumpdid, which shows you the eagerness to
want to get up there in debate. Now, I do agree. If,
by the way, and I'll saythis too, if Trump has a
senior moment, what if both ofthem do? What if both of them

(46:12):
have absolutely awful moments where you realize, oh my god, there's got to
be another way. It's possible,of course it is. Is it possible
Biden sails through and Trump has asenior moment? One hundred percent? Is
it possible that Biden the eyeball testthat we've seen the shot doesn't work like

(46:36):
it used to, and lo andbehold, he does have a Mitch McConnell
frozen in time senior moment. Oneof the things is they wanted these things
early, and Democrats push for thisbecause a they know it's not going to
get any better, and b thisis very important. There is still time,
if need be, to maybe changethe jockey mid race. So it's

(47:06):
it is definitely going to be veryinteresting to see the way that they play
play this thing out. But yeah, I just, you know, the
eyeball test tells me that there's morethere and there's some serious issues. Does
Trump have senior moments? Yeah?But do I and everybody like I go
out and I play pickleball with allsorts of people. There are people I

(47:30):
play pick a ball with that they'rein their seventies and they're great. You
wouldn't know. There are people Iplay pickleball with in their thirties and forties
who they are a mess and theydon't look great. I do think that
he'll he'll, you know, Ithink they'll prop him up long enough to
get through this thing. But theeyeball test for the rest of the time

(47:53):
is I think what people are worriedabout, and yes, should one of
them have an absolute awful moment,there's no doubt it would affect the race
big time. And to think thatboth the Republicans and Democrats don't have a
backup plan you're fooling yourself there aswell. Three two, three, five,

N S O N. Is flyingsafe? We will answer the question,
yes, there was another incident.We'll do that straight ahead right here on
the Chad Benson Show. You're listeningto the Chad Benson Show. Is flying

(49:50):
safe? Great question? Right?You hear incidents all the time? Is
it because we have social media?It's twenty four to seven. These things
go on long before four we hadsocial media. We just didn't really hear
about him because we'd have the twentyfour hour news cycle. Yet another incidents
Southwest flight leaving from Oklahoma heading toLas Vegas. They were five hundred and

(50:15):
twenty five feet above the ground,flying over houses. People thought it was
going to crash. What the hellhappened? These kinds of incidents where the
aircraft gets so close to the groundare very very rare. There are systems,
there are people in the loop toprevent these kinds of mishaps from happening.
Maybe, but you've got to admitit feels like there's a lot more

(50:38):
of this happening, and there aresystems. There was warning systems saying hey,
you better pull up. You're reallyreally too close to the damn ground.
What's going on? The real dangerhere was that the crew didn't seem
to understand that they had blown throughthis assigned altitude and they were getting so
close to the ground. Yeah,they were told maintain three thousand feet.

(51:00):
There were five hundred and twenty fivefeet. FAA. What you going to
do? The FAA is going towant to go back and look at what
were the human factors involved here?Why did this crew continue past their assigned
altitude? Was there something wrong withthe airplane or was this purely human factors?
Was it fatigue? Was it somesort of visual or disorientation that caused

(51:22):
them to miss this altitude and getso close to the ground. I read
a great article yesterday, reread itagain today. Flying is getting scarier?
But is it still safe? Chrisisadore Or in CNN wrote the article is
it getting safe? Is it notsafe? Is it getting more dangerous?

(51:43):
And he breaks down a lot ofthe stuff that's happening from the Alaskan Airlines
flight to the Boeing incidents, becausehe says, look, it's not just
a situation of what's happening in theair on the ground with Boeing and all
the stuff you're hearing, it ismaking people feel comfortable. Statistically, still
way safer than driving. Last timethere was a jet or a plane passenger

(52:08):
plane that crashed, of note,was in two thousand and nine in Buffalo.
That's it three two, three,five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show'syour Twitter, tweet at us text the
program right here on The Chad BensonShow. Since then, there's been some

(52:29):
incidents. Asiana Airlines broke apart whenthey landed, shorted the runway in San
Francisco. Obviously, a Southwest personon Southwest died when the engine cover broke
off and shattered the window next towhere she was sitting. And really nothing

(52:49):
big, But some of the stuffhe talks about I find interesting. He
says, one of the big thingis is we're over confident because we've had
a near perfect record, and becauseit's a near perfect record we have and
we're the gold Star like same thing. We're like, we're the gold star
in everything, whether it's you know, getting drugs approved right through the FDA
and everything to this right here,flying we're the gold star. We all

(53:15):
know in our mind that it's safe. Doesn't mean it makes us feel like
it's safe because we have no control, and that's a big deal control.
One of the other things that hegoes on about, I'd like to hear
from you if maybe you're a littlehesitant of flying is the fact that he

(53:35):
also points out in this article thata lot of what's happened is luck.
That luck has played a big rolein why we haven't had any crashes,
and that to me worries me morethan over confidence. A lot of stuff
still to get to, including isin Nvidia keeping the stock market of float.

(54:00):
To talk to our buddy Zach Abraham, chief investment Officer Puller Capital later
around this hour about what's going onin the market and how one company is
kind of making everything go. Alot of other stuff to get to it.
It's the Chad Benson Show, SuchChad Benson, Joe, independent Thoughts,

(54:37):
Independent life. This is Chad Benson. Is it so hard to find
on hig Value? Man, Whatdo you mean by that? Like?
All I want is a good guythat takes care of me, But there's
plenty of good guys out there.What do you mean by take care of
you? I don't know, likemake me feel safe, take away my
stress, take charge for ones.Oh I got it to a man who
could submit to What A man who'sbigger and stronger than you? Yeah,

(54:59):
a man who can financially support thetwo of you, preferably man who takes
the lead on things, sure right, A man superior to you? Oh?
Why are you saying it like that? Like? What superior? Submit?
Like? All these words are disgusting. Just because I'm a woman doesn't
mean that men are superior to me. Yeah, look at that they're having
fun. But I want somebody totake care of me and do everything.

(55:19):
But there we're going to be equal, and I do mean do everything.
I'm a strong woman. I don'tsubmit to anyone. But you want to?
Huh? How can a man leadif you don't want to submit to
that lead? How can a manmake you feel safe if he isn't physically
superior to you? How can aman support you financially and take away your
stress? If you don't allow himto. You say that you want all
of these things. So at themoment a man with those qualities comes around,
you feel your independent slipping away andyou panic. So how about you

(55:44):
submit for ones and let one ofthose good men give you what you want.
I'll never submit, and you'll neverfind a man there. You go,
figure out what you want. Ladies, figure out what you want.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson chow is your Twittertweet at as texts the program. Love
hearing from all of you. Severalof you texted in. One person said,

(56:06):
I decided to text because I reallywanted to comment on the black guy
we played yesterday about how much heloves Trump, but he loves the Republican
Party. He says. I'm ablack man. I would never vote for
a racist pos and the black manthat you had on the air, I
put him right up there with ClarenceThomas, Tim Scott and all those other
African Americans who were bound down tothat racist piece of blank Donald Trump.

(56:29):
There you go, fantastic. Wedo all the text here, good,
bad, all of that stuff.I will talk about it. I will,
and I'm fine with that. Youdon't have to like Trump. You
don't have to hate Trump. Andby the way, you being a black
man and somebody else has a differentidea than you on how they want to

(56:52):
vote. By the way, thatguy he said on numerous occasions, it's
not about Trump, it's about theRepublican Party. I agree with them more
than what the Democrats are doing.So but because Trump is in the lead,
that's what it is. And thenyou you lump everybody in there together,

(57:12):
so can continue voting for Democrats andyou're going to continue to get the
same thing where you go out.Just doesn't seem to be working. Nothing
is working. Why isn't that workin the way I wanted it to?
Because why should it? If youcontinue to you We've known this for years,
we get the government we deserve.I don't care how you vote,

(57:36):
vote for whoever you want for,or don't vote or don't. I would
never tell you how to vote.But what I will say is if you
are always frustrated with your side ofthe aisle, if you will and they
never seem to do anything, andthey continue to feed you lip service,

(57:59):
and then you can you to votefor them. Who's the fool. And
by the way, you mentioned whata horrible all of the things he is.
You never mentioned policy once. Younever mentioned any of that, because
personality is what is all about inthis day and age. Unfortunate, but

(58:23):
reality, it's not the only onethat feels that way. Does anybody else
think it's kind of funny that alot of people in this country believe that
the last thing standing between this countryand not being a country anymore is Donald
Trump. We need to rely ona thrice bankrupted, thrice adulterous, porn

(58:44):
star, hush payment off, snakeoil salesman, couldn't pack it in Atlantic
City, buried his wife at hisgolf club in New Jersey type of guy.
He's the one that's going to savethe Republic. God help us all.
If that's the case, we deserveto die. We don't have to
do that stupidly Greenwood song while we'reall dying. And I'm proud. Yeah,

(59:06):
you seem to be proud to bean American. So wait, so
Trump says. Both sides say they'rethe last bastion, the last savior of
democracy. And I'm here to tellyou neither of these gentlemen are the last
of that if this nation, I'vealways said, this isn't strong enough to
handle four bad years of this orfour bad years of that, depending on

(59:29):
how you look at things, thenwhat are we this great experiment that didn't
make it as far as people thinkit should. And if you go back
through history and you look at democracies, there's a shelf life. There is
three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty three.
Hatch I meanted, show is yourTwitter? Do you remember about three

(59:50):
and a half four years ago wewere going through stuff coronavirus will call it
a pandemic, and you couldn't mentioncertain things at all the old web anywhere.
Right, you get in trouble forthat because it became political. It
did. Finally somebody brought something upand it was like, okay, we
can say something that we all kindof think. And you remember John Stewart,

(01:00:14):
Oh, a great debt of gratitudeto science. Science has in many
ways helped ease the suffering of thispandemic, which was more than likely caused
by science. So yeah, andyou couldn't even bring it up. Do

(01:00:42):
you remember that you couldn't even bringit up? Well, Fauci's out there
doing the rounds. And I blameFauci for a lot of this. He
is lied. They have hidden stuff, all of the things that you would
look at anybody else and you wouldsay, you don't want me to see
that. There's a reason you don'twant me to see that. Oh it's

(01:01:02):
because I got your birthday president.No, no, no, there's a
reason you want me to see thesethings. The NHA, NIH, Francis
Collins, Peter Dazak, and allof these people that your names you kind
of remember and hear. But allthese people that played with science, I
played god with science. And I'vealways said this. The thing is,
when you brought up coronavirus, howis it always mentioned, Well, it's

(01:01:25):
not a lab league, it occurredin nature. Now it came out of
a lab. I think everybody recognizesthat, if you're honest. But because
politics, and there are more andmore articles about how politics became a nightmare

(01:01:45):
and how this became even worse becausewe decided we were going to sit in
camps and we were going to demeananybody who didn't believe a certain way,
and that they were ignorant and theydidn't believe science. Yet science lie maid
over and over again, and thefact that people fawn over a guy who
really needs to come up, andyou can go back long before this pandemic,

(01:02:09):
to the AIDS epidemic and find outthat, yes, he was an
ass hat then too. People areso glad to see you, so thank
you for coming on the show andfor everything. Everything you've done from the
very beginning. It's extraordinary and you'reno worse for the wear. You look

(01:02:30):
good. Thank you. There's aLatin phrase that has consistently come up for
you, I legitimate non coborundo,which means don't let the bastards wear you
down. But you were a massivepart of that. You lied continuously,
You hid stuff from everybody, andyou wonder why people are frustrated and angry.

(01:02:55):
I said it earlier this week,and I mean it. I didn't
want it to be political. Inever once thought it was fake ever,
But I also knew there was alot of things out there that didn't add
up. And the fact that weas a nation shut people down from having
conversations, even if at times theywere insane, was not good. And

(01:03:20):
there's still no reckoning to what happened. And the fact that people fawn over.
This guy is sad, but itstill shows you the red hat versus
the rest of the world that welive in at times three two, three,

(01:05:36):
think it's right. I think they'veadded about one point eight trillion in market
cap this year alone, which isodd to say, right like, it
sounds that sounds like something out ofa movie or something, but yeah,
it's it's it's it's a situation wherethe concentration that has kind of been the

(01:05:59):
hallmark of this market. Meaning youknow, I think we all know that,
and and for some good reasons.In no way am I saying it's
all a bubble or it's all fakeor anything like that. But you know,
this whole rally coming out of eighto nine has been dominated by one
sector, you know, tech,and so you've reached these points now where

(01:06:23):
the what we like to do tokeep an eye on market composition is we
like to always be looking at theregular SMP five hundred, which is market
cap weighted, meaning the biggest companiesie Microsoft and now in video and video
being the largest. If you investin the S and P five hundred,

(01:06:45):
somewhere along the lines of you know, let's say twelve to thirteen percent of
your money right out of the gate, if not a little bit more,
let's call it somewhere in neighborhood ofeleven to fifteen percent of your money goes
into those two companies, right so, and then we like to look at
and then all the way down theline. So the bigger you are,

(01:07:08):
the bigger the bigger stake you getin the s and P five hundred.
Then we like to look at theeven weighted index, which gives every single
stock the same waiting. Okay,so you just have five hundred stocks,
and I think that that would beeach of anyway, Yeah, they each
get the exact same weighting in theSMP. And one of the reasons you
like to look at that metric ishistorically the even weighted SMP actually outperforms the

(01:07:30):
market cap weighted SMP. And oneof the reasons for that is the biggest
companies are usually the smallest or someof the slowest growing. When you look
at that today, the divergence betweenthose two has never been wider in history.
And virtually every single day over thelast i don't know, two three
weeks, maybe even longer, you'remaking new all time records in the dispersion

(01:07:55):
of those two indexes. So whatit tells you is that you're it's kind
of like building a pyramid, right, You're getting to the top where that
relationship has to tip over. Ithas to by law it's just impossible to
know exactly when. And so we'rekind of referring to this as the high
lender market. There can only beone, right, and it's just in

(01:08:17):
video. So you know, ifin Vidia, if Nvidia got hit,
this entire market it gets smoked.Yeah, we explain that to everybody.
So let's just say in Vidia,something happened to Nvidia and it got hit.
What does that do for the marketitself? Because it is it's normally
tech is pretty much the heavyweights inthis thing. You know what, we've
also seen the bubble. What doesthat look like if Nvidia gets just smoked?

(01:08:43):
Well, to put in perspective,so this year alone, I think
that you've got the stock market uplike fourteen percent right somewhere in that ballpark,
about six percent of that or excuseme, about six of that fourteen
percent is attributed just to in video. And that's that's that's the index with
five hundred stocks. Okay, Soif if in Vidia starts going, it

(01:09:10):
will take think of all the thinkall the AI premium, right. The
only the thing that would be ashock to AI or excuse me, in
VideA would would be something that Ithink is probably most likely to happen,
which is, I don't think therevenue growth and margins are going to be
are going to continue to escalate theway that most people are forecasting them to

(01:09:32):
do. And I just think generallyspeaking, it's going to take more time
than people think for for companies tomonetize AI. And and that's always the
case with new technology. It alwaysyou know, you know it's going to
be a big deal, but ittakes a while for companies to learn how
to work it and how to generaterevenue and how to turn it into a
business. And so I don't thinkthis will be any different. It might

(01:09:53):
happen faster than previous technologies happen inthe past because of the existence of the
Internet and you know, the wideusage of it. But you have a
you have a scenario where if itgets hit, it has to be because
kind of some of that reality forAI is setting in. And then you
start looking at all of these companies, including Apple that have gotten that have

(01:10:16):
gotten multiple expansion because of the wholeAI boom. So if Nvidia goes down,
it's going to take those top techcompanies with it. And if you're
in the S and P five hundred. It really doesn't matter what the rest
of the index is doing. Ifthose stocks are going down, you're going
down with it. Crazy Zach A. Ram, Chief investment Officer, bull

D B, E, N,S O, N can reach out
to us. Love talking to allof you right here on the Chad Benson
Show. Coming up next hour,final hour of the week. So much
stuff still to get to look forwardto debate. We talked a little bit
about that top of that, we'vegot what's trending, sound solid. If

(01:12:28):
you don't know what that is,you're new to the program. These are
the stories that maybe we didn't haveenough time for. And why do you
hear what qualifies as a debate question? In San Francisco, we're getting ready
to watch a big debate next week, the presidential debate six days from now.
This question won't be there, Thankgod for that. But London Breed,

(01:12:50):
the mayor, asked one of ouropponents a question that is insane.
We will talk about that as well. You are listening to the Chad Benson
Show. This is the Chad BensonShow, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(01:13:30):
This is Chad Benson Trump pro immigration. Yeah, way do you hear this?
And it's something I've talked about.We need the best in the brightest,
not just the poor and the needy. That's not very nice, yet
I'm being honest. We could getthese great people into our country and that's
a loss for our adversaries and ourcompetitors, and it's a game for us.

(01:13:50):
But I've never heard you talk aboutthis. Can you please promise us
you will give us more ability toimport the best and brightest real world to
mir, I do promise, butI happen to agree. That's why I
promise, Otherwise I wouldn't promise.Let me just tell you that it's so
said when we lose people from Harvard, mit from the greatest schools and lesser

(01:14:12):
schools that are phenomenal schools. Also, what I want to do and what
I will do, is you graduatefrom a college, I think you should
get automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to
stay in this country. And thatincludes junior colleges too. What no way,
he's all for open borders. Nonow what it sounded like yesterday on
a podcast all In talking about,Hey, you're here, you're educated,

(01:14:36):
got educated here, no reason youshouldn't stay here. We don't lose the
best in the brightest, which Iagree with. Anybody graduates from a college,
you're going there for two years orfour years. If you graduate or
you get a doctorate degree from acollege, you should be able to stay
in this country. And you knowmore stories than I do, But I
know of stories where people graduated froma top college or from college and they

(01:15:00):
desperately wanted to stay here. Theyhad a plan for a company, a
concept, and they can't. Theygo back to India, they go back
to China. They do the samebasic company in those places and they become
multi billionaires, employing thousands and thousandsof people. And it could have been
done here. Who has a problemwith that, say with the young young
DOCA kids. Not like you wereseventeen you came here. I'm talking about

(01:15:23):
the kids. Like I've got severalfriends, people I have worked with in
the past and still work with,who came here. One of them who
I might try to get on totalk about her heroing story of coming here,
how her family did it. Butnow she's an American citizen and she's
married, and she's got children andtheir Americans, and she loves this country

(01:15:44):
like there's no she's Her story isamazing. She was educated here and having
you here is amazing through no faultof her own. She didn't walk here
when she was one or two.That didn't happen. Well, one of
the things you know that you goand you look this this story up about
Trump and green cards, if youis the way that it's covered Politico perfect

(01:16:11):
example. The former president has usedharsh rhetoric about illegal immigration, often at
campaign rallies and recently criticized President JoeBiden on his efforts to decrease the number
of migrants crossing illegally because a,it's Kabooki theater, right, it's fake,
it's performative. You put an executiveorder out there and then tell everybody

(01:16:34):
don't follow the order. That's notdecreasing. He has harshwortz. Yes,
we should all have harshworts for illegalimmigration because it's not legal. One more
from the Trumpster, and a biggerexample is you need a pull of people
to work for your companies. Youhave great companies, and they have to
be smart people. Not everybody canbe less than smart. You need brilliant

(01:16:56):
people, and we force the brilliantpeople, the people that grad from college
to people that are number one oftheir clasts, one of the best colleges.
You have to be able to recruitthese people and keep the people.
It was such a big deal.Somebody graduates at the top of the class.
They can't even make a deal withthe company because they don't think they're
going to be able to stay inthe country. That is going to end
on day one. I like it. Who shouldn't like it? Sounds great,

(01:17:23):
let's do it. Where do wesign up? But are you I'm
for legal immigration. You've come here, you now, have spent several years
here going through school, whether itis you know, high school, maybe
your dad worked over here and thenyou went on to whatever it is,
and you've got the opportunity now tostay here and to contribute. And the

(01:17:48):
other part of it is, let'sbe real when it comes to illegal immigration
as well. Workers are important.We're not having children. Okay, just
to let you guys know that we'renot having kids. And because we're not
having kids, guess what, we'renot replenishing the workers needed. So there

(01:18:13):
are jobs out there that Americans apparentlywon't do speak of, said Economy Janet
Yellen. It's very interesting. Shewas on with Neil Cavudo and they talked
a bit about the border and whetherthey should shut it or not. But
the inflation thing was interesting because NeilCavudo basically said, you know he's Biden
lies about inflation, right, youdo call him out about that, don't
you. You're you're you're the topmoney person in the White House, and

(01:18:39):
you know that was not the case. Have you ever tried to pull him
aside and say, mister president,just so you know, inflation was not
that high when you took office.Well, looks the pandemic head hits the
economy hit hit America and the worldwith full force at the time that President

(01:19:00):
Biden assumed office, which is whyit was so low, right, which
is why it was so low whenhe took office. So I just I
know that that factor's behind that andwhat was going on, And you're quite
right to point that out, buthe doesn't. He doesn't say that,
Well, inflation hit nine percent atits peak sixteen months after he came off.

(01:19:21):
That was due to inflation was lowerbefore the pandemic. That's absolutely true.
There you go, just and Iknow you've got to go defend the
administration, your boss, you haveto. And finally she goes, yeah,
it was totally it was definitely lower. Yeah, yeah, you're right,

(01:19:44):
you're right. I don't nowhere elseto go with this. I don't
it was lower. It was lower. I is nothing else that I can
say. You're correct. I thoughtthat was very refreshing, but you could
see on her face she's like,ah, there's nowhere else I can go.
You don't want to talk about abortion, Not with you, Janet,
not with you? The debates lessthan a week away. How big will

(01:20:12):
these debates be? Could this bethe it moment for either of these candidates.
There's a sense that because the Bidencan't really pushed for it, no
crowd, because Trump plays off thecrowd, so well, he'll be deprived
of that. There was a coinflip yesterday and the Biden team won the
coin flip picked which podium to haveas opposed to the ability to go last.
So actually it will be Trump whodelivers the closing argument next Thursday,

(01:20:33):
at least to Eugene's point, theBiden camp, we can tell how important
they think this moment is when forwhen they'd wanted to have it June,
the earliest we've had a general electiondebate in decades, because they do need
to remind Americans this is the choice. I need to remind Americans. Hey,
this is who Donald Trump is andwho he will be again. This

(01:20:55):
is who he is, this iswho he will be again. Whoever that
is, Donald's kind of always beenDonald. So there you go. Do
you know he was a Philander.Yeah, back in the eighties when it
was almost back all of the magazinesand the newspapers and everything and the society.
Yeah, he was always it,come on, do you know about

(01:21:17):
this? Do you know about that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you
know what's funny. He was like, you know, he's gone bankrupt,
He's done this, he's aid youknow what, Trump has never done.
He's never gone public. There's nopublic with Trump. So when stuff happens
with Trump, it happens to Trump. There's a lot of businesses out there
that we fawn over that have filedbankruptcy to protect themselves. But it's a

(01:21:40):
company, not a person. Dothat makes sense? So yeah, this
is a big deal potentially, andthey're having it earlier because here's the reality.
A seventy eight year old and aneighty one year old. Time is
not on their side, and thereis a fear factor, especially with Biden.

(01:22:04):
They can't have crowds there because thosethings scared not very nice yead.
There is a fear factor that ifthis goes south, that could be it
for him. Well, the Bidencampaign needs to set the narrative early that
Biden is competent and capable to leadgoing forward, and he absolutely cannot have

(01:22:29):
a senior moment at this debate.That's what I heard from. I was
in Wisconsin and Michigan two weeks agofor a lot of focus groups, and
what I heard from voters Democrats whosupport Biden is just that they are going
to be watching and they want tomake sure that he's up to the task.
They might still be planning to votefor him, but if they,
but they still they're uncomfortable about theage. And it really is an albatross

(01:22:51):
that is hanging around this candidate campaign. I don't know why we put an
albatross around your neck? So weird. Of all the things to put around
somebody's neck, how about an animal. Okay, what kind tiger? Nah
at albatross? Almost made an albatrossyesterday golfing. Oh I was so close.

(01:23:12):
So if you know what albatross is. It was a par four.
It's like two hundred and seventy.We had the wind behind us, and
I smashed my ball. This isa little side here and I crushed it.
And I'm like, I told Jack, I said, I don't know
if I made it over the water. She did a provisional, so I
did a provisional and I said,oh, there it is. There's my
provisional. I see it. Iflew. We got up there and you

(01:23:33):
couldn't see it was like four feetaway from the pin. My first ball,
Oh made an eagle, was delicious, but then albatross over his eck.
Yeah, here it is. Peopleknow he's old. That lady just
said something that was very eye opening. Democrats are especially going to be tuned

(01:23:55):
in, not because of Trump.They know what they're going to get with
Trump, because they don't know ifhe's up for the job. Van Jones,
is this big? This this,This is the entire election. As
far as I'm concerned, The entireworld will be watching there. If you
have if you are a carbon basedlife form, you're going to be watching.

(01:24:17):
If you've got a functioning brainstem,you're going to be watching. Because
if Biden goes out there and messesup, it's game over. If he
If he walks out of there anda week later he's lower in the polls,
it's panic in the party. Butif he goes in there and he
can handle himself against Donald Trump,a runaway train, a locomotive, a
raging bull, then this guy deservesanother shot to be president. Because that

(01:24:41):
is tough. You couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. If you
can stand toe to toe with arunaway train like Donald Trump for an hour
and a half, you are fitto be president, period, point blank.
This is the whole presidency in abottle in a week. Well said,
and I think he's absolutely right.Three two, three, five three

It's a bunch of stores we missedduring the week that we're gonna hit make
sure we get those some fun stories, some interesting stories, some serious stories.

(01:29:50):
We just have time to get to. Top of that, we got
some other interesting things, including arguablythe worst question because we're talking about debates
right got a big debate coming up. San Francisco had a debate this past
week that everybody's going, are areyou being serious? Mayor London Breed,

(01:30:15):
who's the mayor of the worst runcity in America? According to I don't
know? Everybody asked a question ofone of her opponents, that is,
if this is the qualifications to bea mayor? Ay you kidding me?
I can guarantee you Trump or Bidenwill not ask this question. But when

(01:30:39):
you hear it, you'd be like, that is not real. Plus,
we've got sound Salad coming straight atyou as well. Three two, three,
five, twenty four to twenty threeat Chad Benson Show. That is
your Twitter, your Instagram, allof the other stuff. It is the
Chad Benson Show, the Chad BensonShow, Independent Thoughts, independent life.

(01:31:19):
This is Chad Benson. If you'renew to the program. Every week we
do a little thing called sound Salad. These are some of the stories that
we wanted to get to. Butbecause of the twenty four hour news cycle
and the fact that there's so manythings happening all the time, we just
don't have the time to do it. So let's us sound solid it out.
Are you ready? Mickey D's dD D dent how much McDonald's is

(01:31:43):
rolling at a special five dollars valuemenu next month to try to lure some
price conscious consumers back to its restaurantsas inflation sticks around. Will it work?
Five dollars value meal and a nationalad campaign, I'll have people loving
it again. The problem is consumersat the lower end of the income spectrum
have just been painfully stretched lately.As we saw on Wednesday CPI report,
rent prices are hogging family budgets,leaving less for splurges like eating out,

(01:32:08):
less for splurges. Yes, lastnight, a son and I we went
golfing. We got finished, calledmy wife. She was barbecue and I
said, look, we're thirsty,We're gonna stop and get a drink.
And we picked up a couple ofdrinks for them, just drinks and a
couple of cookies. Because they hadthese cookies with Rhese's pieces in it.
I thought, oh, that looksgood. Twenty five bucks. It is
expensive to eat out, and they'vegot a new value meal. And it

(01:32:30):
took a while to get it togetherbecause well it's five bucks. But it's
not only price conscious for the peoplebut for the people that are selling it,
because you're counting pennies. Well,it sounds great. You got a
sandwich, either my chicken or amcdouble, which I had never heard of,
but apparently it's a budget double cheeseburgwas only one slice of cheese,

(01:32:51):
small fries, small drinks, fournuggets. Now, getting this value menuer
you approved by the franchisees was likepassing to them into the constitution. They
send it back so the numbers don'twork. Coca Cola had to break the
deadlock by kicking in a few milliondollars with incentives. But now McDonald's can
do a national ad campaign with asimple message with a low price that people

(01:33:11):
want it low price, that peoplewant da da da da da. Are
they loving it? Not? Everybodyis loving it. McDonald's this month,
June twenty fifth, is going tobe releasing for a limited time only a
five dollar value menu you can getto the McChicken Supposedly the mcdouble and of

(01:33:34):
course a banging four piece McNugget mealall for five dollars. Who we fool
in McDonald's that value menu, sixfive dollars value meal, a four piece
nugget. I think that's what gotme the most, A four piece nugget
for five dollars. I'd just ratherget a happy meal. Yeah, well,

(01:33:58):
you know what, I don't thinkit's awful. They're also brought back
free fries Friday, where if you'vegot their app and you spend a buck,
you get a medium fry for free. Everybody understand it's inflation. We
talk about this stuff and you thinkit's kind of silly, but here's the
reality us. We eat on thego, We do a lot of that
stuff. This matters to people becauseit matters to me because I spent twenty

(01:34:20):
five bucks on four drinks and acouple of cookies last night, which is
insane. Speaking of buns not agood idea. First of all, I
want to talk about aout saying Iapologize to the whole city of Nowark,
New Jersey. Most importantly, Iwant to apologize to the principal cook the
content and this video. You guysknew nothing about we were doing the event,

(01:34:41):
and then you know, things wenta little left and out of control.
And I take a four responsibility forthat because you guys had no knowledge
what these girls will be wearing inthis celebrity game and whatever. Whoever was
affected by this video. I wantto apologize to the parents, to the
students, who's that You guys readyfor this? This is spectacular stories you

(01:35:02):
need to know, but you don'treally need to know that. Right there
is Big Fendi and he is apologizingbecause there is a video that's out there.
They were gonna do a basketball celebritytournament at this high school for the
NBA, nothing but as where girlswere going to play in thong and some

(01:35:26):
not playing thong at all. Itcame out the promotion video and the school's
like, no, we can't suit. Ah, yeah, how about those
apples kids? Oh geez. Meanwhile, in the middle of Sound Solid,
we head to California. Guess whatCalifornia Taxifornia loves taxes. There was a

(01:35:49):
new bill, potentially a new chancefor people to vote on something that could
have become law in California that wouldtell the people and politicians who run this
state that I love because I wasborn and raised there. Don't live there
anymore. I haven't lived there foryears because it's not what it used to

(01:36:09):
be. But I will tell youthis. It shows you the power of
these politicians and really the insanity becausethe bill was essentially going to make it
harder for politicians to because they remember, it's a one party state and it

(01:36:30):
is a super majority. Even ifGavin Newsom, who as we all know,
is insane, that's true, becauseit's true, thank you, we
know that. But even if hedidn't want to do something, they could
override him. Well, what wasthis bill? You were going to need
to have the people of California voteon whether or not you could raise taxes?

(01:36:51):
Supreme Court said yeah. California's highestcourt took a rare step Thursday,
unanimously deciding to block a measure fromthe ballot that would have given voters the
final say in all future state taxincreases and raise the vote threshold needed for
local taxes. And it's seventy fourpage ruling, the court said this would
have amended the state constitution in away that an initiative is not allowed to

(01:37:15):
do. Justice Goodwin Lou wrote thechanges would substantially alter our basic plan of
government. We now know that theplaying field is severely unbalanced. Major business
and tax groups backing the measure calledthe ruling a travesty, and the consequence
of California's democratic supermajority government direct democracyis no longer alive and well in California.

(01:37:38):
Yeah, think about that. Soyou do everything, you gather the
signature, so you do all ofthe stuff. In the Supreme Court to
California says now, you can't dothis. Now, I've not read the
ruling. It's like seventy pages.I've skimmed through it. And their argument
is, look this this is aconstitutional issue, and you would shape California

(01:37:58):
away. That is an insane probablythat's what they're saying. But there was
a lot of money spent by politiciansto make sure this didn't get on the
ballot. There's several others out therethat they are facing the opportunity of getting
on the ballot that they don't wanton the ballot because they know California is
just saying we've had enough and it'sreally about taxes. Because they want to

(01:38:19):
be able to rob Peter, topay Paul, and to rob Peter and
Paul to pay Mary to Rob Peter, Paul and Mary as well. Some
state lawmakers and the governor worried themeasure would restrict the government's ability to provide
key services, from emergency response totrash collection. In a statement, Governor
Kavin Newsom's office said, in part, the governor believes the initiative process is

(01:38:42):
a sacred part of our democracy,but, as the court's decision affirmed today,
that process does not allow for anillegal constitutional revision. Meanwhile, business
and tax groups vowing to put asimilar tax measure on the ballot in twenty
twenty six. This for us isjust a battle in the bigger war.
Yeah, good luck with that.We move from one insanity in California.

(01:39:04):
It's a homelessness in California. Manbeing homeless in California. It is uh,
Well, let's find out what youget, because they got new apartments
for you in story development known asthe Wininguart Tower. It's intended to help
people currently without shelter on skid row. This will be LA's largest permanent supportive
housing project. There is an entirefloor of offices for caseworkers and the list

(01:39:28):
of amenities is pretty impressive. There'sa gym, an art room, a
music room, and a computer roomand library. People living here will enjoy
six common balconies and a cafe insane, in freaking sane, just what you
need if you're trying to get offcrack a gym. The one hundred and
sixty five million dollar project is receivingpermanent financing from Proposition HHH, which voters

(01:39:53):
overwhelmingly passed in twenty sixteen. Thenew tower is also receiving state housing funds
and fifty six million in state taxcredits. Yeah, six hundred thousand a
unit. And by the way,the HHH thing. Know this, when
politicians doesn't matter where you are inthe country, they will always put something
on the ballot that is a bshey. This is like saving fluffy puppy

(01:40:18):
dogs initiative, and that stuff isburied in there and then they lie about
it. Six hundred grand a unit. How do you think those things are
gonna end up? Hmm three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three atchad bedsand shows your Twitter little sound salad stories

out the Chat Benson Show. OhI love it. Queen Baby, Freddie

(01:42:28):
Mercury the greatest of all time whenit comes to being a front man,
and I think his voice is thegreatest of all time. Why are we
playing Queen? There's not a newalbum but Sony Music. It's purchasing the

(01:42:50):
rights to Queen everything. You're gonnaget their likeness, their images, the
catalog, the music, the namefor one point two billion with a B,
which will lead to a lot ofthings, including a musical, which
I'm sure will be huge. I'mnot a big fan of musicals, and
I've seen a lot. I willtell you this. I go see the

(01:43:15):
Queen one one hundred percent, soone point two billion. I don't know
how they break that up. Doeseverybody get a little bit? You know?
I mean, does somebody own morethan others? Brian may have this.
I have no ords. It justgoing to be split four ways.
Freddie's estate gets three hundred million,Brian may get three million. They break
it down like that. I don'tknow, but that is huge. One

(01:43:35):
point two billion, dollars. Somebody, somebody out there knows what Queen is
worth. And I still think they'rethe greatest of all time. And if
you go back and if you wantto see the greatest seventeen minutes or fifteen
minutes of rock and roll ever,go watch them at Live eight. Nothing

(01:43:58):
comes close to what they do.Get it live absolutely this weekend. What
you're gonna do? The bike ridersroaring into theaters this weekend, though the
sixties motorcycle Gang flick won't be revvingup. The box office told you to
take that and jacket off, andyou'd have to kill me to get this
checked off. The film, starringAustin Butler, Tom Hardy and Jody Komer,
is looking at maybe ten million dollaropening in North America, which should

(01:44:19):
top all new releases, but it'llbe trounced by last weekend's Winter Inside Out
two. Yeah. I might seeboth of them this weekend. Jack and
I might go see the Bike moviebecause I love Tom Hardy, Austin Butler's
cool, but it's just that lookscool and because my dad wrote bikes and
stuff and the other side of it. Kids want to go see Inside Out.

(01:44:40):
That's beauty. Of jay Ja.That's a beauty of my son.
My son is fourteen, and he'slike, yeah, the Biker movie looks
great too. But then there's stillthe kid in him. He's like,
I do want to see inside out. That's all right, all right,
So we'll probably do a little bitof both this weekend. It's the calm
before the storm. I don't knowif you guys are aware of this,
but there's a debate next Thursday.I heard, yeah, Donald Trump and

(01:45:04):
Joe Biden will be debating next Thursday. For all the marbles, Trump,
after months of describing Biden as weakenedmentally unfit, is now raising expectations for
Biden's performance. Meanwhile, Biden's debateprep back camp David is being led by
his former chief of staff. Bidenwill reportedly focus on Trump's quote extreme record

(01:45:26):
and is expected to attack Trump's stanceon reproductive rights. So we'll see how
it goes. It's going to bea back and forth. I saw Van
Jones basically came out and says,look if Biden, Jack's the pooch on
this, and he messes up andhe freezes up, and he did a
stutter. You know, Old Chatthe's got a story. Okay, let's
let it go. We know whatwe're talking about here. Not a stutter,
but the bizarre things that he says. If he has that moment like

(01:45:47):
that, a senior moment, BenJones is like, that's it, it's
over, it's done, And thatis a possibility. Both of them could
have senior moments because both of themare seniors. Who gets to go first,
right, Biden want a coin tossand got to choose where he'll stand.
He chose the podium on the right. Now. Trump got to pick
the order of closing statements, andhe chose to have the last word.

(01:46:10):
Not a shocker there, so lessthan a week away, get ready for
it. Oh yeah, what wereyou doing when you were this age?
Were you part of Menza? Youknow division? Yeah? So then you
know your multiplication tables? Yeah,and you just finished first grade. Yeah,
that's impressive. His family thinks sotoo. When did you realize there's

(01:46:31):
something different about Hank As soon ashe could start talking, really, he
was obsessed with the alphabet, aboutkim I and spell monkey and O n

(01:46:53):
okay ey. After standardized testing,they found out he scored in the top
two percent of the general population.It has an IQ of one thirty,
qualifying him for the High Intelligence OrganizationMENSA. There you go, young kid
that age part of MENSA one thirty. He builds legos. Some of the

(01:47:15):
legos he built are for engineers overeighteen, but on average you're talking about
people that are in your thirties,and he build him in a day or
so. Kid is uh, well, he's smart, so smart. Damn
kids? Who brings us to this? And then I go and spoil it
all by saying something stupid. Itall takes stupid pills this morning. It's

(01:47:35):
the honest ones you want to watchout for because you can never predict they're
going to do something incredibly stupid.Now you're the fat, stupid one with
the big mouth. Is stupid,little astro. Time You should never underestimize
the predictability of stupidity. Now it'stime fall stupid IQs. Let's look at

(01:48:01):
the IQs, shall we? HighestIQ ever? As of May twenty twenty
four, the highest IQ ever recordedis two hundred and seventy six, belonging
to Young Hoon Kim of South Korea. Some other people whose IQs have been
measured well above the one thirty oneforty Marilyn Vaughan Savant, Are you ready
for this? Her IQ is measuredat two hundred and twenty eight and a

(01:48:24):
mental age of twenty two years andeleven months when she was ten. Nikola
Tesla is IQ. They range betweenone sixty and three ten and William James
Sidtis the Child Prodigy is IQ wasbetween two and three hundred. Now you
guys know something you didn't know before. So I would like to end the

(01:48:45):
show every single day three two,three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad BensonShow. Is your Twitter? Your Instagram?
Thanks for listening this week on TheChad Benson Show. Coming up next
week, Big week. Obviously,we're gonna have more stuff coming out when
it comes to Scotus. On topof that, we've got the Big Debate
as well next week. What isthat going to entail? Some people say

(01:49:08):
Trump's not going to show up.They're both going to show up. They're
both going to debate. Do Ithink anything crazy is going to happen?
I don't know. I have noidea, but I do know it's going
to be very, very interesting becauseyou've got two guys who have had some
missteps. This is their chance toget into the spotlight. And could one
of these not because of policy,but because of the way that they act

(01:49:30):
or look. Could this be serioustrouble for them. We'll find out next
week. You guys, have ablessed rest of your Friday, and we'll
