Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is Chad Benson, angry, revenge, vindictive, also cringeworthy few
of the words to describe yesterday's bizarre situation where Donald
Trump spoke to the National Association of Black Journalists. I'm

(00:36):
here to tell you, guys, I give it to you straight.
If you love Trump, sometimes you're pissed at me because
you think I don't back him enough. If you hate Trump,
you think I'm a Nazi and evil, etc. I don't
pull punches and I'm never going to. It was cringeworthy.

(00:57):
Yet at the same time, he went into the lions
Then those journalists yesterday, some of them were there because
hey chance to speak to the former president and say
the things that we want to say. Some of the

(01:19):
they're out of curiosity because it wasn't just all journalists.
There were podcasters. There was all kinds of of of
as one person said, journalists, adjacent people in the room.
But it was contentious, it was uncomfortable at times. But

(01:41):
he went into the lions Den. Now will it matter
six days from now, six weeks from now, four months
from now. I couldn't tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Both.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I thought failed to make a mark the way they
should have yesterday. The fact that the person who runs
the National Association Black Journalists resigned because Trump was platformed.
That's a load of hooey that you did. That he

(02:17):
may be the former president and the next president, and
the fact that you don't want to talk to him
shows you where you are. It was awful, and yet
you couldn't take your eyes off of it. Normally, I
don't do this. It's a longer sound bite. I'm going

(02:39):
to play the whole thing. Rachel Scott, ABC News, who
I've spoken with on several occasions, she came out of
the box, almost like she was going to set the
record straight. This is where she sounds. I'm not interested
in your answer. I'm interested in making a statement.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Mister President. We so appreciate you giving us an hour
of your time. I want to start by addressing the
elephant in the room, Sir. A lot of people did
not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.
You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals,
from Nicki Hayley to former President Barack Obama, saying that
they were not born in the United States, which is

(03:23):
not true. You have told four congressmen woumnic Color who
were American citizens to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe
black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser,
saying the questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist.
You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your marraologue resort.

(03:45):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have used language like that.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
A first question, you.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Don't even say, hello, how are you? Are you with ABC?
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible
net work. And I think it's disgraceful that I came
here in good spirit. I love the black population of
this country. I've done so much for the black population

(04:26):
of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones. With Senator
Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I think he did well there. I think that was
you asked fifty different things. Ask one, let him answer.
You were there to make a statement. You were there
to make a statement, as I was talking to several
people last night about this, because it's what I do

(05:00):
for a living, I said the same thing I'll always say,
focus on the issues. Focus on the issues. I love
a lot of what Trump does. I can't stand the chaos.

(05:20):
He frustrates me because I've never seen somebody who can
make something that should be so simple, so tough. You
don't always have to fight. You know what people care
about inflation? You know what people care about their paycheck
feels like it's getting smaller, even though in theory they're
earning more money. They care about the fact that rent

(05:43):
seems too damn high and the dreams of owning a
house may be slipping away. Getting into arguments, No, I
give you credit for going in there. Absolutely. Where's Kamala?
When's the last time she answered a real question? By
the way, it's been ten days since she's spoken to
the press. She goes, she gives speeches. Why is that?

(06:06):
Because she's the actress. We talked about it yesterday. She's
the actress. They've got to play the part right now.
She is the actress that the machine wants, and she's
doing an okay job at it. Last night she gave
a good speech but it's easy to do when you
are not getting bombarded with questions. Nobody's asking you anything real.

(06:30):
Everything is superficial. That's easy to do. It's like being
in a fight where you're the only one who gets
to punch. You had to have known yesterday you're gonna
get some questions that are going to be uncomfortable. How
do you react to those questions? That's important?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Why come here?

Speaker 6 (06:52):
What is your message today? My message is to stop.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
People from invading our country. Out of the journalists in
this room are black. Coming from the border are millions
and millions of.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
People that happen to be taking black jobs.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
What exactly the black job.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Sir, A black job is anybody that has a job.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
That's what it is, anybody.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
That has ye all right, they're taking the employment away
from black people. They're invading It's an invasion of millions
of people, probably fifteen, sixteen, seventeen million people. Well, the
black population is affected.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Most by that. Kamala is allowing it to happen.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
She's the borders are She's people are coming into our
country and they're taking black jobs and Hispanic jobs, and frankly,
they're taking union jobs. Unions are being very badly affected.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
The black jobs comment, what's a black job? Explain it?
One thing about Trump is he's funny, he's quick on
his feet, he's not articulate. He doesn't you know, it
doesn't wax poetry when he speaks very straightforward, which a
lot of people like you. Stick to the things that matter. Why,
because five hundred thousand to a million people are going
to decide this next election. Do you know what they

(08:02):
care about? None of this stuff. They don't care about
the social justice bs. They care about making rent, keeping
the lights on no longer, robbing Peter to pay Paul?
Why is car insurance becoming so damn hot. They care
about the things that affect them on a daily basis,
And they don't pay that much attention to politics. It's

(08:24):
in the periphery and they're frustrated, but they're not watching
it twenty four to seven, So they get a SoundBite
here and a SoundBite there, and the message gets to
be crafted by who the media? Who does the media
want they want? Come on? It is frustrating. It was
frustrating to watch yesterday, very frustrating. And one of my
buddies jokes, somebody's getting fired for allowing him to go

(08:47):
there in this campaign. No, I'm glad he went there.
He goes places others don't. And no, for all of
people out there, Steve Smith's of the world and everything elsewhere,
you know, Oh, this was the right thing to do
in the way that No, the way that they attacked
him was less about journalism and more about them and

(09:09):
more about some sort of retribution and being a part
of the Democrat wing, which is what we've been talking about.
But you have to know that. And yes, the black
thing with Kamala that was obviously a big issue.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she
was Indian all the way and then all of a
sudden she made her turn and she went she became
a black. Just to be clear, sir, I think somebody
should look into that too. When you ask a continue
in a very hostile, nasty tone, it's a direct.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Question, sir.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is a
DEI higher at someone?

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Really does? I mean, I really don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
It could be stay away from it. Stay but you've
started to do this, You've started to get into the DEI.
And she was black and then she was Asian, she's black.
She went to Howard, it's part of a black That's
the stuff that frustrates. And if you can't point out

(10:19):
the fact that that is frustrating because you're afraid the
tribe may turn on you, that's silly. Think about who
you have to get into your tent to win this election.
That's what matters most. The people that are defending him,
they were always going to love him and vote for him.

(10:44):
The people that love Kamalin care about the race and
the and gender and all that stuff. They were always
going to It's that five hundred thousand to a million
people that matter. How do you get them. They're not
focused on this because they're too busy living life, and
life is expensive, and that's where you should be. Every

(11:08):
time they ask you a question that you feels a
gotcha question, go you know what. I'm here to talk
about how my administration moving forward can make life easier
for everybody, black, white, gay, straight. That's what I'm here for.
The past is the past. I'm moving forward. I'm looking
for it. I don't have a time machine. We're not

(11:29):
fixing anything in the past. All we can do is
try to fix the mistakes from the past in the future.
That's it. Focus on the things that matter.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Who's already in the tent you need to add to

Chadroughgreens dot com slash Chad or call eight eight eight
ninety my dog for rough Greens' So Chad Benson.

Speaker 8 (12:58):
Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 9 (13:11):
The accused mastermind of the nine eleven terror attacks and
two other defendants striking plea deals with prosecutors. The New
York Times reporting they struck that deal to avoid the
death penalty. In addition to Khalid Sheik, Mohammad Whalid bin
Natash and Mustafa al Hasaui have agreed to plead guilty.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now while that was going on yesterday, and they'll actually
formally plead guilty next week. The nine to eleven families
are still suing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and that
was in court yesterday and the families got to see
a bunch of new evidence that has not been released

(13:53):
to them up until yesterday. They're not thrilled.

Speaker 10 (13:57):
Jed Eaglson, he's the president of nine to eleven. His father,
Bruce Eagleson, was killed in the September eleventh terrorist attack. Brett,
you were in court today more than two hundred exhibits
were unsealed.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
What is your main takeaway?

Speaker 11 (14:10):
The main takeaway is wow, shocking. This is the first
time that the nine to eleventh families have seen presented
in a full story all the evidence that our former
FBI agents, former nationally security officials have amassed over the
past twenty three years about the Saudi Arabian government's involvement
in nine to eleven.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, who knew what all of that stuff? And it's
unfortunate that geopolitics comes into this because there is some
of that. And that's awful because we lost a lot
of people that day, and that led to a lot
of other people around the world losing their lives. And
they got to see a video and the video is

(14:51):
very interesting. A guy named Bayumi who supposedly didn't work
for the Saudi government or their intelligence, but at the
same time getting paid by their intelligence. Again, it's ugly and.

Speaker 11 (15:05):
It was shown today in court, and it was shown
with the hijackers hosting them at his house that was
never known before. There were parts of it where there
were other Saudi government officials brand new to anyone that
in Beyumi's apartment there were senior Saudi government officials with him,
higher ranking than Beyumi himself, hosting the hijackers, slicing meat

(15:28):
for the hijackers, passing food around. They were addressing each
other in very respectable ways, meaning that they were using
a form of Islam that shows a very high level
of respect for these individuals.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, three two, three, five, twenty four, twenty three at
Chad Benson show, is your Twitter tweet? At his text
to program. He also went to the Capitol and filmed
and that was in court as well. And the stuff
that he was saying on there was more like, hey,

(16:01):
brothers and sisters, look at all this stuff here. Here
are a bunch of demon senators for evil democracy in
the West. There's a lot to unpack here, for sure.
It's I mean, it's we look back on that day.
Everybody knows where you were. If you were alive and
you're old enough to understand what was going on. It's
one of those moments that is burned into your mind.

(16:26):
The survivors who are still dealing with the guilt. What
is it three firemen die a month in New York
City because of what they did on that day going
into that building, all the stuff that got in their body.
It is awful and will we ever know the truth? Unfortunately,

(16:47):
in the world of politics, in particular geopolitical politics, sometimes
the enemy of both my enemy and my friend, depending
on the day. It is what it is. And right
now Saudi Arabia somewhat of a friend. Why because that
enemy that we talk about, Iran is a bigger threat

(17:13):
at this moment in time. And it's awful that we
have to deal with geopolitics and look back at some
people as a political sacrifice. But that's kind of what happens,
and that's unfortunate. You piss us all off. There's a
big world out there, and depending on the day, you
may be my friend, you may be a friend of me,

(17:35):
or you may be an enemy. It's a Chad Benson show,
s Chad.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Benson shoe independent, independent life.

Speaker 8 (18:03):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Down in flames. Another racist remark. Those are things I'm
getting on the text line some tweets as well. You
can tweet at us at Chad Benson's show three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three. It's not down in flames.
I'm here to tell you that now we have a
short attention span. So this is a guy who, what
two and a half weeks ago there was an assassination attempt,

(18:26):
and how many times have we moved on from that
to this to this to this. There's no doubt that
yesterday was not good. It wasn't And people get mad
at me because somehow they think I'm here to get
Donald Trump elected. No, and then the other people get
mad at me and say, you're here to get Harris elected. No.

(18:50):
I've said this over and over again. I'll say it again.
I don't care who you vote for. I will never
tell you who you vote for. But if you want
to win, focus on the thing didn't matter if you
want to win, as he did in twenty sixteen, because
while the talking points from a lot of the media
because of the entertainment value, was the locker up and

(19:13):
the Hillary this and the killery and all that stuff,
the reality was jobs, jobs, jobs that mattered, that did
and yesterday because I'm already being yelled at by some people.
As Scott Jennings said, he did crap the bed. This
is got. This is one of the bigger, not just pundits,

(19:35):
strategists in the Republican Party. He's honest.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
First of all.

Speaker 12 (19:39):
I think he deserves some points for showing up at
this thing and giving it a go. That having been said,
he did crap the bed today. The only question is
whether he's gonna roll around in it or get up
and change the sheets. My advice would be get up
and change the sheets and do what your campaign is doing.
The campaign knows how to prosecute the case soon of
millions of dollars on her policy record. That's what they
should be doing. A better way to do this, and

(20:01):
they know what to do. But it's on him to
do it. It's on him to do it. How many
ang advice is to perform.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
It is on him to do it. And I've always
said this and I always will. You have to be
honest with yourself about what you see. Yesterday wasn't great.
It wasn't and if you think it was, you're fooling yourself.
But on the other side, on the left, If you

(20:27):
think this thing matters in the long run, you're fooling yourself.
Look at the numbers. Independents don't care about stuff like this.
That's what matters. If the goal is to get the
best joke and to have your crowd cheer, well, then
Donald Trump would easily win. But it's not. It's just

(20:48):
not the people that will put you over the top
at five hundred thousand to a million in several states
because everybody else has already been decided. I know what's
happening in Texas and California, I know what's happening if
Florida to New York, those states, seven maybe six North
Carolina is kind of if he at this point, how

(21:09):
do you get them? That's the question. How do you
get them? Inflation, economy, immigration, those things matter for common
on them. They're going to focus on abortion. That's a
big deal because they're going after but you already have

(21:31):
those young women. What about the young women that are
out there that are married with kids and lean a
little bit right, because as we know, if you look
at the numbers, single women very very progressive single men
and men in general conservative married women with children tend
to lean a little conservative those women you're going to

(21:53):
need focus on the needs. That's it, not the noise.
The needs, not the noise. Here's a caller who loves me. Yo.
By the way, I'm.

Speaker 13 (22:06):
Kidding yo, Shot, it would be really nice if you
would stop putting Kamala Harris on a pestl Tom of
us don't like to hear that garbage, okay, and you're
once again fashion ConA Trump. You need to stop doing
that or you're gonna faithful law food. You're idiot apperiments

(22:28):
and you're tipping off all the people, including me. But
that's your reminder of the woods are just sitting on
your door calling you out of your house to check
your out for you, you're getting old, man, talk about
some new subjects down for me, you're really getting old.
Talk about something else. I'll shut your hearing on Kala
Harris and you put your on a festal, deliberatearian lifts her.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
He's fun, piss off all sides. I don't put her
on a pedestal. I tell you the truth. You didn't
like what you heard. I get a lot of calls
like that, and some from him. You didn't like what
you heard. Never put her on her pedestal, not once.

(23:19):
If you want to win, focus on the things that matter.
If you want to actually win, those are the things
you need to do. Focus on what matters. Abigail Schreyer,
who I love. We've had her on the program several times.
She's got great books, in particular about the transgender movement.
She worked for the New York Times. She's to the left.

(23:42):
But what ended up happening was she took on a
subject that made her go ooh, and of course the
then establishment media crushed her for it. But she's got
a great article out today in the Free Press. Republicans,
you're going after Kamala all wrong, talks about the DEI.

(24:05):
Nobody cares, No, nobody cares. It taught the fact that
you even bring that up. Oh well, maybe she's a DII.
She's not a DEI. She's not an idiot. She comes
across at times like the word sell, but she's You
don't get to that point where you are without having

(24:26):
some political chops bringing up the fact that she had
an affair when she was younger, and slut shaming, as
she says, that's not going to work either, because none
of those things make life less expensive, make life more manageable.
What do you focus on? Who are you really you

(24:51):
want to do? Abolish ice? Under your watch, we've seen
a jump in immigration like you cannot believe. Under your watch,
you push for the Green New Deal that would absolutely
crush the energy industry and make life more expensive. And

(25:12):
you were the first champion of that under your watch,
as she puts in this article, Wisconsin, do you want
to be California? Do you want to step over people
sleeping on the streets? Do you want super high taxes
so you can afford to pay for all of the
stuff that people are coming here to get from different countries?

(25:32):
Is that what you're interested in? Do you want drugs everywhere? No? No,
I don't know. No no. You focus on those things
under your watch as the prosecutor that you are. You
were about defunding the police. You even went so far

(25:56):
as to share links on your Twitter page for the
people in Minneapolis who help burn parts of that town down.
Focus on the stuff that matters. Point out who she
is saying she's DEI or whatever. It ain't gonna work three, two, three, five, three, eight,

(26:20):
twenty four to twenty three at you had Benson show
to your Twitter your Instagram all of the other things.
We got little breaking news, which is always good when
it's good news, and it is good news. So, uh,
looks like there's a prisoner swap and the Wall Street
Journal reporter Gersovich and the marine Wheelin are going to

(26:43):
be freed in a prison swap with Russia. So Russia
once again got what they wanted. Who knows who they're
getting now, what evil person they're getting. But the good
news is is the reporter and the former marine Paul
Whelan are coming home and details, I'm sure you're going
to come out in the next couple days exactly who

(27:07):
is being swapped, what are they getting. But that is
good news right there. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad mentioned show, it's
your Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. Somebody
just tweeted at me and asked me, is jd Vance?
Is he good for the ticket? He will be. This

(27:29):
noise will die down about the cat stuff. This noise
will die down about that. That stuff doesn't matter either.
It doesn't None of that stuff does. That's all noise.
The media wants to play the game of noise and
they want to put that stuff out there because it
looks oh he hates women. You already have those votes,
by the way. Left. That's not fixing what you need

(27:52):
to fix. You need to answer for the issues on
why life is so expensive. Why maybe some of these
single women don't want to be single. It would love
to have kids one day, but feel they can't afford it.
Instead they go get cats. Oh, Chad, that's what Jad
Vets would say. Three two three five three eight twenty
four twenty three at Chad Vets and shows your Twitter,

(28:13):
your Instagram. If you'd like to leave a lovely voicemail,
you can at the three two three number. Appreciate it
when you do, and even if it's full of hate, Uh,
I'm okay with that. If it makes you feel better
to yell at me again. Good. The goal should be
to win. Talk about the things that matter. Talk about
the things that matter. If the goal is to make

(28:37):
your base excited, but the base that you have isn't
going to get you the victory, then you better figure
out how to expand the base. Bullard capital retirement, Man,

It's Chad Benson.

We talk about all kinds of things on our Little
Dog and Pony Show here. As you guys know, I
have kids, two step kids, and then I have my
son and my daughter. They're all my kids, so way
I look at it, but they're young. I have a
five year old and a fifteen year old. I have
a fourteen year old and a thirteen year old. And

(30:36):
the Internet has a lot of things. And right now
for the younger generation, they're going through with skibbity. What's

it is.

Speaker 15 (30:49):
Even if it shows up once and it's complete nonsense,
it's still a word.

Speaker 16 (30:51):
What is a skibbity toilette? Well, on a fundamental level,
it is a head placed inside of a toilet.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, everybody's finding out what the hell a skimby toilet is.
And if you've got kids or grandkids, you guys are
trying to figure out what the hell a skivty toilet is.
It's ahead and side a toilet.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
They have speakers as heads.

Speaker 7 (31:10):
They aren't considered stronger because they can blast music from
their heads.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
That cooks up the skivty toilets.

Speaker 7 (31:16):
But remember the toilets always come back. It has an
arm cannon that basically made the skivvy toilets useless. The
Alliance was back to winning the war, so what did
the toilets do well? The skivty toilets found a way
to hit back harder. In episode thirty, we've discovered something
extremely shocking. The toilets captured two cameramen and held them hostage.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
There might be a skivty toilet movie. And if you're
a teacher, you know exactly what skivvy toilet is.

Speaker 16 (31:45):
What was the meaning of putting a head inside of
a toilet? Now you have heard the phrase get your
mind out of the gut, or a common truism warning
about the dangers of deviancy of sin. However, you understand
that concept. But what if I said to you the
phrase gets your mind out of the toilet? Ah? What
if the skivity toilets are the physical manifestation of degeneracy?

(32:08):
And what then is the world of skibbity toilet, but
a world conquered by sin.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Soap, bizarre. Oh my god, what do you people do
in you crazy kids? That's what passes nowadays is entertainment.
Skivty toilet. I don't get it. That's not for me
though it's not my generation. They don't get some of
my uh stuff. I don't get some of theirs. So

(32:35):
that's the way it's supposed to be. Although when I
was a kid, would I have found skivty toilet entertaining?
I don't know. I don't think so, but you never know.
But if you want to know what it is, it's
a head in a toilet. And so if you got grandkids,
you got kids special, little bit younger ones, that's a
big deal to them. That is a big deal. And
there may be a movie moving on. Red meat doing

(32:59):
all kinds of stuf, processed meat doing all kinds of stuff.
What the hell is going on?

Speaker 17 (33:03):
Researchers observed more than one hundred thousand people for over
forty years and found that eating about two servings a
week of processed red meat like bacon or hot dogs,
increased a person's risk of dementia by fourteen percent. ABC
Medical correspondent doctor Darien Sutton says.

Speaker 16 (33:19):
The specific things you're looking for to avoid are things
like nitrates and nitrites because those chemicals are associated with harm.

Speaker 17 (33:25):
The same study found people who replaced processed red meat
with plant based proteins like kinwa saw their dementia risk decrease.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
So we've got dementia and the potential of it. What else? Cancer,
especially amongst the young.

Speaker 17 (33:42):
Incidence rates for pancreatic and kidney cancers were two to
four times higher, and someone born in nineteen ninety compared
to someone born in nineteen fifty five. The question is why,
Stemming from the American Cancer Society research that found Gen
X and millennials are at a higher risk of seventeen
different types of cancer, while cancer and younger patients could

(34:02):
be due to environmental or lifestyle factors.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
That's a possibility. We're not as active as he used
to be. That's evidence. I mean, we don't. We may
not smoke the way we used to, which is bad,
but we're nowhere near as active as we used to be.
Plus the processed foods, it's just easier, junk, it's quick.
We're feeding the masses and There's so much that goes

(34:27):
into it. But the rates of cancer, and how many
of you guys have heard somebody who's like thirty two
and they've got cancer. You're thinking that's something somebody would
you would think seventy would.

Speaker 18 (34:36):
Get cancers like pancreatic, kidney and small intestinal cancers. People
who are Gen X or millennials have a two to
four times higher rate of getting those cancers compared to
people born in let's say nineteen fifty five, right, So
that is what we're talking about here. There's also cancers
like breast and colon. Those rates are up for Gen

(34:57):
X and millennials.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Very interesting. Food has a lot to do with it. Also,
our sedentary lifestyle has a lot to do with it.
There's a lot that goes into it. But the processed meat,
you know that, it's just because we're feeding the masses.
We don't eat the fresh meat. We don't. We're all
guilty of it. Somebody's gonna call in and go, no, no,
we're not Chad, because I catch and kill all my

(35:21):
own meat. Okay, well you're the one three, two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadbentson Show,
that is your Twitter, your Instagram. You can also leave
a comment on the text line as well right here
on The Chad Benson Show coming up, second hour. A
lot more to get to. Some of you are reacting

(35:43):
to the phone call message that I got. It's interesting,
Like I say, you got to see this stuff I
get every day. I don't post it. I don't put
it out there. Every once in a while, will because
it's funny some of the messages I get every day.
And the fact that I piss off both I think
is a good thing. I think it's a very very
good thing. We need more people that are willing to

(36:05):
call out both sides, including your own. And some people
don't want that. They're obsession with their tribe and protecting
their tribe at all costs. They're willing to go I
don't care what happens. I need to protect my trick.
We'll talk about that. A lot of other stuff to
get to Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 8 (36:52):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 17 (36:54):
We've got breaking news.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I don't have a sound effect, so I have to
do it myself. But we do have some breaking.

Speaker 19 (37:03):
News we can report according to a senior Administration official,
that among those being released by Russia today are Paul
Wheelan and Evan Gershkovich. They are being released by Russia.
They are going to be on their way home, if
not already then in short order.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
This is such wonderful news.

Speaker 19 (37:22):
These are the biggest names of those who are expected
to be part of this exchange. That has been such
a battle to try to get these two men released
from Russian custody. Paul Wheelan arrested first in twenty eighteen
and held for the past six years, convicted on espionage charges.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Back in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Breaking news, So Paul Wheeland Marine Boom, he was accused
of espionage. He's been there for a while. Talked about
him at nauseum at time because of Britney Griner and
the spotlight that actually because of her arrest was really

(38:06):
shown down on him as well, and reminded folks, hey,
there are other people here.

Speaker 19 (38:12):
And then Evan Gershkovitch, simply doing his job as an
American reporter in Russia, arrested last March, very quickly accused
of espionage and then finally convicted last month in July
on those charges and sentenced to sixteen years in a
penal colony. Now that sentence last month came really as

(38:38):
not as a shock, but certainly a realization that it
could be a long journey before getting him home. But
at the same time, we knew that the Russians would
have to convict him before they could start talking about
releasing him in exchange for other Russians. So this is
tremendous news from the Biden administration confirming that Paul Wheelan

(39:02):
and Evan Gershkovich will be part of this exchange. We
are waiting more details others who may be released, not
just from the Russian side and the US, but also
from Germany and other countries as well.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Kate, Yeah, so my name is Chad, but I appreciate that.
I'm sure Kate's nice. Twenty to thirty prisoners they're saying
twenty to thirty prisoners, including Vladimir Kara Murza, a Russian
British dissident journalist who was jailed in Russia, also reported
to have disappeared from view, prompting speculation he is among
those going to be released. He was arrested right after

(39:38):
a CNN interview CNN shame was it because you went
on CNN. Oh no, it's because of the interview what
you said in which he stated Russia was run by
a regime of murderers. He got twenty five years in
prison Siberia jail, so like Siberia itself, kind of prisoning,
but the jail there ten feet long by five feet wide.

(40:02):
So the people that looks like we're releasing solid individuals,
cybercrime folks, smuggling and money laundering, some good folks like that.
So I'm sure we'll learn more again on who is
or isn't gonna be released. There are some people that
maybe from other countries as you're hearing some of the
Brits and whatnot. So there you go. Kind of breaking news.

(40:23):
Speaking of news, yesterday not a great day for Donald Trump,
and a lot of you're mad at me because I'll
chat you should be speaking up for Donald Trump. I
said he went into the lions Den. I said it
was great. I think the way he handled the first
question that wasn't really a question. By the way, it
wasn't from Rachel Scott, who by the way, I've said,

(40:45):
we've we've I've had Rachel on my show. We've she's
she's always been nice. It was and it was grand standing,
it was all of the things. I'm gonna play it
right now. It's about a minute thirty. I thought the
way he handled it was pretty damn good.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
I'm a sur president. We so appreciate you giving us
an hour of your time. I want to start by
addressing the elephant in the room, Sir. A lot of
people did not think it was appropriate for you to
be here today. You have pushed false claims about some
of your rivals, from Nicki Haley to former President Barack Obama,
saying that they were not born in the United States,

(41:19):
which is not true. You have told four congressmen Wounic
color who were American citizens to go back to where
they came from. You have used words like animal and
rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists,
calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask
are quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a
white supremacist at your Maraologua resort. So my question, sir,

(41:44):
now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you,
why should black voters trust you after you have used
language like that.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
A first question, you don't even say hello, how are you?
Are you? With ABC? Because I think they're a fake news.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Network, a terrible red work, and I think it's disgraceful
that I came here in good spirit. I love the
black population of this country. I've done so much for
the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones.

(42:29):
With Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Speaker 20 (42:33):
And.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
I thought he handled that stuff really well. He got
into race stuff, talked about her being potentially a DEI
you can't take the bait. You just can't. I've been
saying this for a while. Trump now has to run
against the Democrat machine, and I sure some people don't

(42:57):
want to hear this, probably get yelled at for Itmocratic
machine is way better than the Republican machine that's supposed
to meet. I'm not talking about the ideas. A vast
majority of American, by the way, believe in Republican ideas.
It's the people that they have an issue with who

(43:19):
are trying to deliver some of those things. But I
will tell you this, the machine that they have Hollywood,
social media, the media, and yes, the machine behind it
is got the momentum, and that is something you have
to pay attention. Trump has to run against that. She's
running against Donald Trump with the help of all of this. Yes,

(43:44):
he's got his help here, but it is not the
size or the organization that she has what matters. That's
all you should talk about. Inflation, immigration, economy, world affairs.
We don't want to be dragged into another war that's

(44:04):
not only potentially going to put boots on the ground,
but also might cost us billions upon billions of dollars.
Focus on the things that matter. But for the average
person you meet everybody else, it's the cost of life.
That's it. Five hundred thousand to a million people are

(44:24):
going to decide this election, that's it. And out of
that maybe two hundred thousand are going to be the
ones that vote. Some may say, hey, I don't want
any part of this. So you're focusing on a very
narrow pathway right now. Both sides are going to their
tent and preaching to them, and there's another tent in
the middle with a bunch of independents who are looking

(44:45):
around going why what about us? What about us, and
the left is going what about a borshe huh h,
you're huha what about that? And they're like, I don't know, no, no,

(45:10):
And then the rights going DEI and the people in
our center goo, I don't what matters. Inflation. This is
where I thought he did a hell of a job.
Stick to this.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
Inflation is absolutely destroying our middle class, our working class.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
Inflation is a disaster.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
Inflation is a country buster, in my opinion, the worst
inflation we've had. They say it's fifty eight years, but
I think it's much more than that. And if you
just take a look at a lot of things they
don't include, like interest rates. Interest rates went from two
point four percent to ten percent.

Speaker 6 (45:46):
And you can't get the money.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
People can't buy houses, They no longer have the American dream.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Guess what focus on that? Because while the journalists and
the journalists like Rachel scotten them the way that they acted,
it was about revenge. It was about getting yourself that
five minutes of you know, talking points. It was nasty.

(46:15):
You weren't there to have a conversation and ask questions.
You were there to prove a point. But you got
to rise above it and you talk inflation, people can't
afford the American dream. What about black jobs? He could

(46:36):
have explained that much better. Let me tell you about
black jobs. Go to construction site day. What do you see.
You see a lot of people, some of them here legally,
some of them here illegally. But you don't see a
lot of black construction workers, do you. No, people getting
paid under the table doesn't mean they're getting a dollar
for the job. No, they're getting the twenty dollars that

(46:57):
you would be getting for the job. The difference is,
I don't have to pay for your insurance, I don't
have to pay your taxes. I don't have to do
any of that stuff. So why you cost me thirty
seven dollars an hour? In real life they only cost
me twenty bucks. I'm saving seventeen bucks an hour, and
I got ten of them. That's one hundred and seventy
dollars an hour I'm saving. Talk about the things that

(47:21):
matter to people. Keep it simple, stupid, short and sweet
and out. That's what you need to do if you
want to win. If you want to win, this will
be forgotten in a few days because we move so
fast in today's world, and we're going to get to

(47:42):
that in a little bit. What a month July was
in the speed of history. It was very busy and
normally this time of year in our business kind of slow.
It was anything, but it was anything but. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(48:03):
twenty four to twenty three Atch Had Benson Show's your
Twitter tweet at us text the program again, Breaking news
Paul Wheeling and The Wall Street General reporter Evan Jersevich
I think his name is. I've both been freed in
a prison swap with Russia, somewhere between twenty and thirty people.

(48:25):
So we'll have more on that as it breaks. Raycon
best of earbuds around. Love my Raycon wear them every
single day. Yesterday I played about an hour of pickleball
and had to do a lot of work.

Speaker 6 (48:37):
Man.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
I tell you what, there they were. I haven't charge
them in like three days. They're still rock and a rolling.
That's what I love about Raycons, the length you can
go without having to charge them. The new everyday earbuds
have fast charging, multi connectivity which is awesome, and sweat
and weather resistant, not to mention noise cancelation. Still the

(48:58):
best fit around. Comfortable, your ears don't hurt after having
them in. There's no stems, there's no wires, and the sound,
oh my lord. You can switch between all the sound
modes whatever it is that you're looking for. Awareness mode.
You just want to cancel the noise altogether. It's awesome.
The price point will not break the bank. You normally
spend two three hundred bucks on anything close to this.

(49:18):
Under one hundred dollars, I save you fifteen percent and
free shipping with a thirty day happiness guarantee. Boom. You
want the best year buds around the cold raycons, go
to buy raycon dot com slash chad today. Check out
the styles and the colors. You will love them by
raycon dot com slash Chad. Buye raycon dot Com slash Chad.

Speaker 8 (49:46):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 21 (49:48):
Obviously, Hesmo's gonna feel like they have to respond to
the killing of their senior leader and our ronwell because
essentially Ismael Haneia was their guest to visit on the
inauguration day of their new president. So something that almost
looks like it was made to embarrass them from the
Iranian perspective.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
It was there to send a message. Plus Israel announced
that the killing of the number two Hamas leader that
happened last month was indeed their doing. They do not
play games. They're not here to screw around, and that
was message sent, and message was this, we'll get you anywhere,

(50:29):
anytime of our choosing. And not only did they get him,
they got him in Iran. They got him in Iran,
and Iran's got to figure out what the hell they're
going to do because this was an embarrassing thing. They
got him in Iran. Iran, as we all know, pulls
the levers. Iran, as we all know, is the largest

(50:50):
state sponsor of terror on the planet. They got him
in Iran.

Speaker 21 (50:55):
It is clear, I think from the Iranian perspective that
they might try to do another missile and drone barrage,
but it was essentially unineffective last time. Nine percent of
them were shot down before they got there. Where Iran
tends to be better at is using their proxy forces,
which is Hezbelohamad the Houthis, and they certainly will try
to attack in Israel from the north, in Lebanon, from

(51:18):
Siri with their horses, and of course from the sea
with the Houthis.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
All of those are not Iran, they sponsor him, they
give them, But Iran's one of those They don't want
to get there themselves dirty, they don't want to get
their people involved. So the best thing to do is
to send money to do all of these things. That's
what everybody understands. And there is a lot of worry
throughout the Middle East when it comes to Iran. It's

(51:45):
not just Israel. By the way, Saudi Arabia cannot stand Iran,
and Iran can't stand Saudi Arabia. They hate each other.
They do so always the fear of if what happens,
If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, they become the power
in the region outside of Israel. And so it's in
everybody's best interest that never happens, because they understand what

(52:07):
goes on. They love the fighting as long as they
don't have to do it. Oh three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benton Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at us text the program got some
of your texts and tweets coming up right here on
the Chad Benton Show. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, Maduro is still there.

Speaker 22 (52:31):
Our patients and that of the international community is running out.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
It's running out on waiting for.

Speaker 22 (52:40):
The Venezuelan electoral authorities to come clean and release the
full detailed data on this election.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Yeah, you think that's going to happen. No, not as
long as he's got the military. Not as long as
he's got the strong it's not going to happen. That's
why the world is appealing to South American countries, some
of which who have been sympathetic with Maduro originally as
well as Hugo Chavez. And you know what they're saying, Hey, guys,

(53:07):
they've already lost a quarter of their population. We've absorbed
five hundred thousand plus. Can you imagine what it's going
to be like now when he starts cracking down again.
Where do you think those people are going to go?

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yeah, they're not just all coming here.

Speaker 23 (53:24):
The government of Colombia, to its foreign minister, is asking
the Venezuelan government for an audit of the election tallies
and allow them to be reviewed by the international community.
In other words, it's not just enough to release them.
They want them to be audited. And this is significant
because Colombia is a leftist government. They share a border
with Venezuela and that is where the majority of Venezulas

(53:45):
have fled to after this crisis.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Yeah, they don't want to absorb anymore material. Lost big time.
It's completely evident he lost big time and he's not
going without a fight. If the people of Venezuela want
their country back, they're gonna have to take it back.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three

(54:10):
at Chad Benson Show's Your Twitter. A lot of stuff
still to get to and yes, some Olympic updates as well.
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I just watched some of the Olympics because I got
him up here. Go on the screen and the women's
boxing is going on, and there is a boxer in
the Olympics who has failed the gender test at other competitions,
but the Olympics allowed the boxer to be in this competition.

(55:05):
So the boxer in question is Algerian boxer Immain kelf
Or Calif. She fought the Italian Angela Karini, despite being
banned from major boxing contests before the Olympics. Karini appeared
to wipe away tears after being hit twice in the face,

(55:25):
then turning around and saying, yeah, I'm not doing this.
That's a man baby. So she also was screaming this
is unjust, but it sounded like adis isn't just because
of the Italian thing. So we'll have some more Olympics
stuff coming up in a bit. Middle class. What I

(55:48):
keep telling everybody, it's more expensive to be in the
middle class. Donald Trump, people are looking at him yesterday
after what was arguably cringeworthy. Some of you not happy
to hear that. But and I've given implotins for being there,
so don't be yelling at me all the time, you know.
Like Donald Tripp, I like the policies. I could do

(56:10):
without the chaos. Okay, that's in any aspect of life,
right Like I like this guy, I like this girl school,
but I could do without a lot of the drama.
It's the same thing. But here's some people, and this
is the people that you have to reach that don't
follow politics every day. And that's what I'm trying to

(56:31):
tell you. You're listening to this, you probably listen to a
lot of talk radio, probably watch a lot of news,
read a lot of stuff. You're politically involved. You've got
an understanding far more than the average person who is
not playing the game of politics, who's not using it
as their favorite entertainment and sport. So when I say

(56:53):
you've got to reach those people, you have to reach them.
They're not coming to you. So when you go to them,
your grievances about what happened in twenty twenty don't matter.
Your grievance is about what's going on in the court
system right now doesn't matter, but it should. But it

(57:16):
doesn't stop thinking about you and the political realm that
you're in now, think about the people you have to
reach people like this, You.

Speaker 15 (57:24):
Don't have to be an economist to know that the
middle class salary is now one hundred thousand dollars. In
twenty nineteen, forty to fifty thousand dollars would buy you
a middle class life. In twenty twenty four, it's one
hundred grand. Even if you look at my life, my
wife and I bought a four hundred thousand dollars home,
which is the average home in America. We drive two
volts wagons, not BMW's. The payment total is eight hundred
and fifty dollars. We do spend one thousand dollars a
month on groceries. We eat healthy whole food steak, grass

(57:46):
fed beef, eggs, salmon, meat, vegetables.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
We make our coffee at home. We don't do Starbucks.

Speaker 15 (57:51):
We have a four to one K health insurance, car insurance, gas,
cell phone. My wife does get her hair and nails
done once a month. I get my hair cut once
a month. We go to date night every single Friday,
but at like a local tavern or even Chili's for
one hundred dollars. And our bills monthly bills are seven
thousand dollars a month.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
That is now becoming the average person. Again, it depends
on where you live. Obviously, your house may have cost
to twenty five. In California, house may have cost eight
hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 15 (58:18):
This is a medium and we have no credit cards,
no student loans, and we don't have children. I can't
imagine when people tell me that their daycares twenty five
hundred and their student loan is five hundred, Like that
would make our monthly bills ten thousand dollars. What we
are living a middle class life in twenty nineteen, if
you made forty thousand, you would have what we have now.
Spending one hundred thousand for it. So the reason we

(58:39):
keep bringing this up is that we don't want to
see a repeat in the next five years of it
going to one fifty or two hundred thousand for the
middle class. Like we're watching the middle class just be
pushed right out.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Focus where you need to focus. Inflation, inflation, inflation, inflation, inflation, inflation.
Let them talk about the dog whistle and he's a racist.
You just do it, you do and hit the things
that matter.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
Young people, young Black people. They don't have the American
dream anymore. They can't buy a house. They can't borrow
the money because of the cost of the money.

Speaker 6 (59:12):
They can't buy it, because of the.

Speaker 5 (59:13):
Cost of housing, because of the cost of build it,
because of inflation. Inflation is a disaster, and it's destroying
our country, and it's destroying the Black community, probably as much.

Speaker 6 (59:24):
More what do you do than what's your plan?

Speaker 2 (59:28):
It's Harrison Faulkner asking the question after at the National
Association Black Journalist, But that was him yesterday. Inflation, the
American Dream, it's dying. Focus on the things that matter.
Abigail Schreyer's article, I'm going to post it on the
Facebook and the Insta and the Twitter. This is what

(59:52):
she said in your article. Tens of millions of migrants
have entered our country since Harris was put in charge
of the border, and they're ready for millions more. Would
they like to find their own schools and hospitals so
over roam with the American citizens sent away as it
happened in New York and Texas. No, you wouldn't. That's
what you focus on, the American dream inflation. She also

(01:00:14):
says the vast majority of American families prefer American Republican policies.
It's the messengers who are so often the problem, and
perhaps that's especially the case this year. Jd Vance already
having issues even Trump yesterday, the struggle at times and
trying to find how you position with Kamala Harris, how

(01:00:39):
you position yourself. It's simple. I'm not running against Kamala Harris.
I'm running against the bad policies. I'm not running against
the is she DEI or is I'm running against the policies.
I'm not running against she black or she Asian. I'm
running against the policies. I'm not running if she's pro
choice and she's all about women I'm running against the policies.

(01:01:03):
Don't make it personal, make it policy. That's what you
have to do. Because the media is out there waiting
for the gotcha moment. They felt they got tons of
gotcha moments yesterday. They were super excited about the gotcha moments.

Speaker 24 (01:01:15):
Donald Trump accepted this invitation to use that platform to
play to his mega his MAGA crowd, and those bigots
that will say tonight, he went in there and stood
up to those black journalists, traded those few black men
that he's trying to get off. He came to do
what he did, came to use them as a backboard

(01:01:38):
to score with the MAGA crowd to say, I want
to y'all, I will go to their own conference and
do everything but call them the ND word.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
So full of crap. That's al Sharpson, Race Spader extraordinary.
But it is frustrating because you continue to give them
ammunition that they're gonna use. Here's the good thing, though
most independents don't care about this. Most independents aren't paying

(01:02:12):
attention to this. Most independents say it doesn't matter. You
know what matters life and the expense of life, the economy.
The frustration you're having by robbing Peter to pay Paul.
We can go on and on about this stuff. That's
what matters. So go where the fish are, Go to

(01:02:34):
the people. Stay away from DEI, Stay away from race,
stay away from sex and gender and all that stuff.
If you want to talk about some of the woke,
wacky stuff. I have zero problems with that kind of stuff.
But stay away from She's only a DEI candidate. Stay
away from she. She is here because she's a woman

(01:02:55):
and that's it. Stay away from the the any of
the stuff that is personal, and focus on policy. I'm
not running against you. I'm running against your policies. My
policies are better. We're gonna do everything we can to
write the ship of the expense of the world, to

(01:03:16):
bring down interest rates, to push forward when it comes
to our energy policies, to get us out of needless
wars and wasting money, to try to shrink the government
from the ridiculous bureaucracy we have. Focus on that. Don't
make it personal, make it policy. Let them make it personal,

(01:03:40):
because the more personal they make it, guess what, the
people that cheering that on, they're already voting for her.
Three two three five eight, twenty four to twenty three
at Sheed Benson Show, is your Twitter, tweet at us
text the program. You guys haven't heard release of the
two big prisoners that we know about. I don't even

accused of stuff. But Paul Wheelan is coming out. That's
the marine that's been there for quite a while, and
the Wall Street General Porter is also coming out as well.

(01:04:22):
And I'm not quite sure how many people are in
the swap. We've heard twenty to thirty, so it'll be
interesting to see. We're giving up money launderers and cyber
criminals and stuff like that. It's it's horrible that we
have to do that. It is. It's it's horrible that

(01:04:42):
they're using our people and not just our people, other
people from allies of ours, as basically currency to get
back They're bad people. Talk a little Olympics coming up

we are at each other for having an opinion that's
different and telling you the truth. Okay, yeah, Roughgreens areuff

lot of other dogs, especially this time of year, is
my dogs have no allergies. They don't have any issues

It's awesome energy through the roof. I love that. But

(01:05:49):

Speaker 25 (01:06:21):
Joe running with scissors sounds great compared.

Speaker 26 (01:06:34):
To this same It is that time of the show
where talk a little bit about the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
The Olympics, what's going on right now? A lot of
people are watching it. Actually, the number has been pretty big,
and for the first time in a real way, you
can watch just about everything in the Olympics. Today. Golf
is going on, which is awesome. So we have two
gold medalists. We have Nelly Korda, she's going to defend,

(01:07:14):
and we have Xander Shoffley who's on a roll right now.
He's won two majors this year and is feeling it.
So he and Scottie Scheffler are playing well. Matts Yama
Japan is playing well. It's pretty damn cool. He's watching
a bit of it earlier. I'll be watching the golf
all weekend. Last night, though, it was all about the pool.

Speaker 17 (01:07:33):
Katie Ledecki twenty five meters left for Ladecci to make
more history.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
Won the gold in Tokyo.

Speaker 17 (01:07:41):
It's going to back it up again here in Paris,
and the greatest swimming.

Speaker 15 (01:07:46):
Machine we've ever seen rose on to another gold.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Here in Paris for the new Olympic record. Pro Pitchnikova
is up there in lane three for France takes the sun.
That Isabella Gosa, that Germany gets the bronze.

Speaker 17 (01:08:13):
As they all take a backseat again to the.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
Greatest s the greatest. Indeed, so the fifteen one hundred meter.
Not only did she win, I just want to point
out when you talk about dominance in sport, we talk
about you know, Yokovic the tennis player, or Nadal at
his time, or you can go look at so and so,
Tiger Woods, this and the other, the top twenty times
in history. In this thing, she owns every single record.

(01:08:40):
She won by ten seconds. That's like winning by a
week in racing, like let's say NASCAR or Formula one.

Speaker 12 (01:08:49):
Katie now tied for the most goals and overall Olympic
medals of any American woman in history.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
When you hear that, what is your reaction?

Speaker 27 (01:09:01):
Oh, I'm just so honored to represent our country and
those swimming that have set the standard for so many
years have inspired me. They inspired me when I first
started swimming. So thank you to them, Thank you to
everyone that has supported me all these years.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
What a reaction by you after that race? What are
you most proud of about that swim?

Speaker 27 (01:09:20):
I prought at the time. I just really wanted us
some of the time that I could feel really proud
of and happy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
With, which a lot of people are frustrated because, like
we talked about it, it's a slow pool because it's made
of sand. No, just because of the way that they
build the pool. I guess it's rather slow. Indeed, now today,
what's going on? Fun stuff? I watch Yesterda'm gonna say this,
I tweeted up. I watched Saber. I don't know what

(01:09:46):
it is. It's some sort of fencing, and I watched
South Korea versus. I think it was hungry. I have
no idea what's going on. I mean, you know, everything's
and it's neat if you've never seen it. So it's
like a long almost runway and they're in the middle
of this arena and the lights are shining on them,
and there's crowds around them, and it's just the two guys,

(01:10:06):
and they're attached to something in their back right, like
it's like this long looks like a rope or some
sort of band, and everything's electronic and it is so
I just I sat there watching, going I would never
watch this otherwise, And here I am watching Hungary and
South Korea go at it over a sport. I have

(01:10:28):
no idea how you even keep score because they both
look like they touch each other with their little saber
at the same time. Yet somebody gets a point. So
today you've got a lot of that stuff, but also
got women's gymnastics. And the lady called in left a
message about gymnastics.

Speaker 20 (01:10:46):
I still with the current Olympics that it's unfortunate that
they do not mention the nine of the other gymnasts
when they report on the event. They only mention one,
and I think it will be nice if it would
mention the nine of the other gymnasts.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
Thank you, you're welcome, and I understand. But it's also
a business. And Simone Biles, she drives it right, She
absolutely drives this. Now today she takes on sunny Lee
team mate in the whole nine yards in the all
around or whatever it is, but you go with what

(01:11:31):
drives viewership, and viewership isn't driven the way it has
been in the past, because while they're showing lots of sports,
a lot of it has to do with people in
the sport reporting on the sport itself. It's very interesting
the way this is going now and how it's being
reported and what is becoming kind of the big thing

(01:11:54):
at the Olympics. Just fun to watch and it takes
your mind off the chaos and craziness of politics, which
I think we need every once in a damn great
while that unfortunately has become our sport and at times
our religion. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at she Had Benson Show, to Twitter,
your Instagram, everything else of the Chad Benson Show coming up.

(01:12:17):
More on Trump's National Association of Black Journalists debacle. And
it was and I know some people don't like to
hear that, and they get frustrated. I give you the
straight truth. I tell it like it is. And that
was not good. And not just me, but several people,
even amongst Republicans are saying this, Oh my god, will

(01:12:38):
it matter? Won't it matter? That's the question we've got
some of your text coming up as well. Can follow
us across all the social media at Chad Benson Show, Twitter,
c Chad b E n Son. You can leave a
voicemail there as well. If it's crazy, fun and not
too violent, we'll play it. If it's the other side
and crazy and not fun and too violent, we also
may play. It's what we do here, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 8 (01:13:30):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
It was a hell of a day yesterday for Donald Trump.
Some of you are mad at me because I'm not
sticking up for him. Well, first of all, Trump doesn't
need me to stick up for him or you. Secondly,
he went into the lions den or whatever you want
to say, hostile environment. Times he handled himself well, other
times it was a bit cringey and not because he

(01:13:54):
wasn't on the right track. You are never going to
impress that audience. They were there to attack you for
social issues, perceived issues in their minds of the fact
that they believe here all of the things. They're part
of the resistance. We go on and on about that,
but you didn't articulate the data that is easily available

(01:14:16):
to you to make a point. That's my frustration right there.
That's why when people say, you know, you don't give
Trump enough love. First of all, it's not my job
to give them love. It's not my job is to
read the news, dissect the news, give you my opinion
about these things based not in let me put it

(01:14:38):
in terms like this or that, looking at it from
a different perspective. Okay, giving it to you from the
human side of it, not the political side of it.
And yeah, yesterday I went to a hostile environment and no,
they didn't treat them right because there was a lot
of grand standing and stuff like that. It started out

(01:14:59):
like this. This is right, Scott ABC News.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Mister President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour
of your time. I want to start by addressing the
elephant in the room, Sir. A lot of people did
not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.
You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals,
from Nicki Hayley to former President Barack Obama, saying that
they were not born in the United States, which is

(01:15:24):
not true. You have told four congress when womnic color
who were American citizens to go back to where they
came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit
to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling
them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are
quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white
supremacist at.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
Your Marologua resort.

Speaker 4 (01:15:47):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have used language like that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:58):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever and
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.

Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
A first question, you.

Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
Don't even say, hello, how are you?

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
Are you with ABC?

Speaker 5 (01:16:11):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible
red work. And I think it's disgraceful that I came
here in good spirit. I love the black population of
this country. I've done so much for the black population
of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones.

Speaker 6 (01:16:34):
With Senator Tim Scott of South.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
Carolina starts out, does his thing, I don't think it's awful.
It's horrible the way that they came at him. I thought, was,
you know, wasn't the best. I think we can all
understand that I thought it was a you know, there
was a bit of revenge. It felt like there was
a bit of let's do this right. You were there,

(01:17:00):
You're the opportunity, set the record straight. This is my frustration.
The delivering of the message matters. The delivering of the
mess how you deliver the message matters. Said Last Hour,
Abigail Schreyer's articles amazing. I love what she says here.
The vast majority of American families prefer Republican policies. It's

(01:17:20):
the messengers who are so often the problem, and perhaps
that's especially the case this year. I like Trump. I
hate the drama. Stuff that should be easy. He doesn't
articulate well enough, and it goes sideways. Great opportunity here
when it comes to immigration, all of the things that

(01:17:45):
matter to the average person, economy, illegal immigration, cost of living, etc.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
Why come here?

Speaker 6 (01:17:52):
What is your message today?

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
My message is to stop people from invading our country.
A lot of journalists in this room are black. Coming
from the border. Are millions and millions of people that
happen to be taking black jobs.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
What exactly the black job, sir?

Speaker 5 (01:18:10):
A black job is anybody that has a job, That's
what it is.

Speaker 6 (01:18:14):
Anybody that has legal right.

Speaker 5 (01:18:15):
They're taking the employment away from black people. They're invading
it's an invasion of millions of people, probably fifteen sixteen,
seventeen million people. Well, the black population is affected most
by that.

Speaker 6 (01:18:27):
Kamala is allowing it to happen.

Speaker 5 (01:18:28):
She's the borders are She's people are coming into our
country and they're taking black jobs and Hispanic jobs, and
frankly they're taking union jobs. Unions are being very badly affected.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
Spot on, Now you go into it a little bit more.
That's why I'm here. What's a black job? Simple? In
many cases, especially among young men, low skilled workers, they're
losing their jobs left, right and center when mass immigration happens.
Eagle or otherwise. Who suffers the most? The black population.

(01:19:06):
From nineteen forty to nineteen eighty, lower immigration levels than
we've ever seen. Tight labor markets, what's that do? Competition
for jobs. From nineteen forty to nineteen eighty, black middle
class exploded from twenty one percent to seventy one percent.

(01:19:29):
Think about that. Then it started to slow down as
they increased, and finally they decided to allow one million
people here annually. Since then, it's not gone well, it's
not gone well at all. You've seen eight falling in wages.

(01:19:53):
In fact, from nineteen forty nineteen eighty, black men's wages
grew way faster than white man's wages. Oh, you saw
the black middle class expand far faster than the white
middle class. Their negative consequences, you see the inner city.

(01:20:24):
Let's be honest. That's what I would have said to
to the journalist. Let's be honest. We can understand and
have empathy with these people coming here, but they've got
to do it in a legal way. This is not fair.
What about the people in the inner city, Chicago, New York,
San Francisco. They're seeing these people get housing, they're getting vouchers,

(01:20:45):
they're getting put up in hotels, their kids are going
to their schools. We can start, well, it's that bad, Yes,
it is, because now that's coming at the cost of
your child's education, that's coming at the cost of your
taxpayer dollars. Doesn't mean we can't have sympathy and empathy,
but we've got to do this the right way. So

(01:21:06):
when I say black jobs, let's be real. Black America
gets hurt far worse than White America or Asian America.
Stick to policies don't make it personal. And they tried
to drag him into it, and he bit. The numbers
are out there, they're easy to see. It's when he

(01:21:32):
starts to go off that it goes sideways and they
want to fight. Don't take debate. Don't take debate. Some
people are mad at me though this guy spectacular.

Speaker 20 (01:21:43):
Yo. Good.

Speaker 13 (01:21:45):
It would be really nice if you would stop putting
Tama Harris on a pestal Tamamas don't like to hear
that garbage. Okay, and you're once again fashion dolls. You
need to stop doing that or you're gonna faithful law pood.
You're an idiot. I'm permission. You're tipping off all people

(01:22:06):
excluding me. That's your reminder of the woods. I'll just
staying on your door, calling you out of your house
to check your ouse for you. You're getting old, man,
talk about some new suckers. Now you're really getting old.
Talk about something else. I'll shut your hearing. I'll call
a Harris and just putting her on a vessel. Deliberatearian

(01:22:29):
lifts her.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Uh, never wants to put her on it. Never once.
What you're hearing is I'm pointing out something that is
going against your belief and challenging in such a way
it's probably making you think, oh my god, so you're panicking.
Never once put her on a pedestal. But I understand

(01:22:54):
what's going on. I understand people. I've had more people, Republicans,
maga folks over the last several days call me, some pissed,
some worried. You've got a right to be. Now. The
momentums with her, but that will change. There's ebbs and flows. No,

(01:23:16):
the honeymoon's not going to go away. But once the
chaos settles of the excitement, the momentum they still have,
you know there next week they're going to announce, probably
Josh Shapiro. Then they're gonna do their big push for
a couple of days. Then they're going to go and
do the convention, and there'll be all kinds of momentum

(01:23:38):
and love for her. And then you put her through
the primary. She never has. You talk about her ever
shifting positions. You talk about how she was once this
and now she's that, How at one time she was this,
and woila that that she once was has disappeared.

Speaker 6 (01:23:59):
And you know the press this is very corrupt. You
know that they gave her a transformation.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
Like Houdini, and they have. You put her through the primary.
You get the American people to see that she is
a left wing uber progressive from San Francisco. You get
her to announce who she really is. She's playing the
part well because she's not had to answer any questions
ten days since she's talked to the press. She's playing

(01:24:28):
the part well because it's easy to read a script.
What happens when you have to answer questions? How do
you juxtapose your positions from this to this? And how
did you how do you do that? That's the primary
she's not had and you're going to have to give
it to her. And that means yes, debating her as

(01:24:50):
many times as possible on a daily basis. And that
also means not making it personal, which is hard for Trump.
That also means not making it about you, which is
also hard for Trump. Three two, three, five, three eight,

in particular the families, because it is we're twenty three
years heading towards to you removed from that day, that awful,
horrific day, and there still hasn't been a trial. Families

(01:30:17):
wanted to know why. So they took the death penalty
off the table and they pled guilty, and they're still
in getto Some of the families are not happy. They
wanted to see not only justice served cold and execution style,
but I think they wanted the world to see this
entire situation play out, and that will not happen. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(01:30:40):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your
Twitter tweet at his Texas program. A lot of stuff
to get to yes including more about yesterday's battle with
the National Association of Black Journalists, Donald Trump, and some
other fun stuff as well, because we just don't do politics,
we do fun style. Chad Benson, Joe Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Joe, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 29 (01:31:21):
He considered it both a privilege and responsibility that he
was credited, and that he was a foreign journalist, not
a Russian and co he was one of three people
who could report honestly.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
What he saw.

Speaker 29 (01:31:33):
Were a lot of people who were working there cannot
say as much as they did.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
So how about that prisoner swap? So Wall Street Journal
reporter would he get seventeen years in jail or sixteen
years in jail for spying? Gerskovic is out, as is
Paul Wheelan. If you guys don't remember Paul Wheeland, he
was the marine that had been in jail. I believe

(01:31:59):
the longest of the bunch.

Speaker 30 (01:32:00):
Paul Wheelan really though, was the beginning of what has
been a campaign of hostage taking. I remember back in
late twenty eighteen when he was first arrested and accused
of spying that hadn't been an American arrested and accused
of spying like that since the Cold War, and at
the time it was extremely unusual.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
Yeah. He by the way, so you got Evan Gerskovic
is going to be out, Paul Wheelan out. He got
a sixteen year cents for espionage. That's two thousand and eight,
so he's been in there for six years. It's only
been a little over a year plus for Gerskovich. But
there are others in prison that are Americans. Gordon Black,

(01:32:45):
Robert Gilman, Mark Fogel, just to name a few that
are over there. I think up to twelve are currently there.
And Paul Wheelan in particular kind of came to the
forefront because of the whole Brittany Grinder saying and she's
ecstatic for this, but that kind of brought him into

(01:33:06):
the forefront because he's kind of been the guy that's
there and forgotten.

Speaker 30 (01:33:10):
I've been covering these sorts of cases now for half
a decade really, which is how long Paul Whelan has
been kept in prison in Russia, and I've seen firsthand
how incredibly painful it is for families, just a men's uncertainty,
and also there's appalling weight that you feel that you
must do something to get these people out, but there's
no way that you can as a family except to

(01:33:31):
make noise. There's no way to influence, of course, the
Kremlin to release them. Paul Wheelin has been left behind
several times in previous in previous prisoner swaps, and obviously
that has been agonizing for his family. He was passed
over when Britney Griner was released, for example, and so
the US for years now has been trying to come
up with a deal that would allow them to free

(01:33:52):
him as well recently as Evan Gershkiwiz. It seems finally
that they have managed to do this and that is awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
So good news coming home. Up to twenty or so.
Not quite sure exactly how many people are involved, if
there's going to be more Americans. There's some others that
are allies. A couple Russians who are now brit citizens,
I think are getting out as well. We're giving them

(01:34:20):
the usual scumbags, cyber criminals, money launderer, drug dealers, et cetera.
None are doctor Death or whatever his name was his name,
doctor Death, Dealer of Death. But just a great situation
for the family, but horrible that this has to happen.
But Russia is Russia, and the Pewter will do what

(01:34:42):
the Pewter does. Speaking of world is cus.

Speaker 21 (01:34:46):
Obviously, Hesbo's gonna feel like they have to respond to
the killing of their senior leader and now our ronwell
because essentially Ismael Hania was their guest to visit on
the inauguration day of their new president. So something that
looks like it was made to embarrass them from the
Iranian perspective.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
We're now figuring out how they did it. It was
a bomb inside that dude's house. So he has gone
there on numerous occasions and he stays in the same
place every time. So you know, somebody on the insides
like these people are nuts. We got to get rid
of some of them. They planted a bomb a long

(01:35:26):
time ago, and we're just waiting for him to show up,
and it just happened to be now and they blew
him up. Not if, but when, not if, but when?
Oh those guys, those those those three leaes three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ched menton shows your
Twitter tweet at his text to program. So we're now

(01:35:50):
in August. First, it's the first of a month. Get up,
Get up. Thirty one days of history. It has been crazy.
Shall we just kind of go over a little bit
of what took place this month. Let's start with July first,
my mom's birthday. That had nothing to do with this
dork month. Supreme Court rules that Donald Trump and all

(01:36:13):
presidents are entitled to immunity for official acts. Okay. July second,
first elected Democrat, calls on President Biden to stab aside.
July fifth, Biden tells ABC's George Stephanopolis that only the
Lord Olmie could convince him to drop out. So we're
now only five days in and we've got stuff rolling here.

(01:36:35):
In July. July thirteenth, Trump narrowly survives an assassination attempt
at a rally, and Butler BA, what yeah. July fifteenth.
Federal judge smissus Trump's classified documents case. July fifteenth, same day,
Trump picks JD Vance on the rnc's opening day. July sixteenth,
Bob Menendez, remember that cat convicted of sweeping corruption in

(01:37:01):
his trial taking gold and cash. July seventeen, Biden tests
positive for COVID self isolates. Oh, very interesting, very So
we're only halfway through the month. Historic month, by the way,
normally this time here canniboring. July eighteenth, Trump accepts the
GOP nomination with the speech that ends all speculation that

(01:37:22):
his assassination attempt changed him. July nineteenth, the flawed CrowdStrike
software takes down key Internet services. And that's still going on.
What did CrowdStrike give their people like ten dollars gift
certificates to, like Chili's. So and I'm not talking about
like the average person who's stuck on a flight and

(01:37:44):
could get out somewhere. I'm talking about the vendors. Hey,
just give them a crowd you know, CrowdStrike Chili's gift card.
Oh jeez. July twenty first, Biden quits raised, quickly endorses
VP Heiris. July twenty second, Harris secures enough delegates to
become the Democratic nominea. Bark's on a record fundraising spree.
July twenty fourth, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Dettinya delivers a

(01:38:05):
fiery speech to a partially empty joint session of Congress.
On the twenty fourth of July, Biden finally addresses the
nation from the Oval Office at prime time, saying it's
time the past the torch. Two days later, the Summer
Olympics in Barry kicks off. July twenty seventh, the rocket
attack from Lebanon kills twelve children and teenagers on a
soccer field. Three days later, Israel kills top Hesbela commander

(01:38:29):
in beav root strike and then the top a hospolitical
leaders assassinated in Iran. We just talked about how they
blew them up with the bomb that was planted already. Wow,
that is like there are days and you're like, ohoh,

(01:38:50):
then there are months, then you're like, oh, that's interesting.
This felt like whiplash. Indeed, always something, always seems to
be something going on. And we start the first of
August off with the prisoners coming back and Trump's debacle, slash, attack,
slash whatever you want to call it. Yesterday, Oh, Chad,

(01:39:12):
you're just not being nice to Trump. Ken It's not
about being nice. Trump's a big boy, can handle himself.
It's about understanding what needs to be done to win
the election. I believe the Republican ideas are better. I
believe at time the message isn't delivered the right way,
and I think both parties are flawed because the tenets

(01:39:35):
of what it was and is supposed to be about
have been corrupted, have been watered down, have been twisted
for their own gain, which is frustrating. But there is
no doubt my mind that yesterday could have gone better.
Scott Jennings, Republican strategist, brilliant cats work with a lot
of presidents not thrilled by yesterday either.

Speaker 12 (01:39:57):
First of all, I think he deserves some points for
showing up at this thing and giving it a go.
That having been said, he did crap the bed today.
The only question is whether he's going to roll around
in it or get.

Speaker 3 (01:40:06):
Up and change the sheets.

Speaker 12 (01:40:07):
My advice would be get up and change the sheets
and do what your campaign is doing. The campaign knows
how to prosecute the case soon of millions of dollars
on her policy record.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
That's what they should be doing.

Speaker 12 (01:40:18):
There's a better way to do this, and they know
what to do, but it's on him to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:22):
It's on him to do it.

Speaker 13 (01:40:22):
How long.

Speaker 2 (01:40:23):
Advice is to perform, perform, and what we've been saying
for quite a while not personal policy. I don't care
about your DEI I don't care about your gender. I
don't care about where you're from your I don't care
about you know as far as oh, is she black?
Is she Asian? You know what, she's an American, period
case close. She's a woman. She's also a politician. This
is nothing personal. I don't like the policies you and

(01:40:46):
your side are offering offering, and that's why I'm doing
what I'm doing. It's not about you. It's about the policies.
It's not personal. It's about the policies. That's what you
need to do. Three two three, five three eight twenty

Speaker 25 (01:42:11):
Welcome to jestshef no, not the country, the institution, the
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 31 (01:42:18):
Okay, Taco Bell fans, you could soon be ordering from
an AI machine instead of a real person. The fast
food company's owner announcing today that artificial intelligence will work
the drive through at hundreds of locations by the end
of this year. Now this is eventually going to expand
to KFC and Pizza Hut, they say, But they say
they won't be replacing any human workers. The argument is

(01:42:41):
it will let those humans focus on other tasks like
actually preparing the food.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
Until we get the robots that know how to prepare
the food. In our travels over the last week, we
went to a McDonald's in I don't know where it was,
will Cox Bowie, Arizona. I don't know Bowie Arizona. Know
where Rambo is from. Uh, there is no more at

(01:43:07):
all humans taking any orders. Even though McDonald's got rid
of it. Now you have to do everything yourself, which
means if they screw it up, you can really yell
at them because you put the order it and you
guys really screwed it up. But I was talking to
the manager like, nope, we got rid of it, and
it's kind of annoying, and you gotta scroll to the stand.

(01:43:29):
I gotta do this, gotta go. Hey, this is kind
of annoying. This is where we're going as we talk
about work today and what jobs are this and that?
Oh my lord, yeah, it's happening more people. AI is here.
Thank god it's not four in the morning.

Speaker 3 (01:43:43):
There's a song medally I put together. It's for the morning.

Speaker 32 (01:43:57):
Did you ever notice that four in the morning has
become some sort of meme or shorthand It means something
like you are awake at the worst possible hour, a
time for inconveniences, mishaps, yearnings.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
Yeah, I'm always awaking for I get up extra early.
There's new study out that confirms that there is a
gene that some people have where they need three hours
to sleep, maybe four, and they function as well as
anybody else all the time, and it does not affect them,

(01:44:34):
and they don't know why. But four in the morning kids.

Speaker 32 (01:44:37):
A time for plotting to whack the chief of police,
like in this classic scene from The Godfather, couple of
script describes these guys exhausted in shirt sleeves.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
It is four in the morning.

Speaker 32 (01:44:47):
A time for even grimmer stuff than that, like autopsies
and embalmings, ungwins and morticians paced they worked until four
o'clock in the morning, a time for even grimmer stuff
then that, or a time that I find to be
the most placid and uneventful hour of the day. Four
in the morning sure gets an awful lot of bad press.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
Four in the morning. How many of you wake up
at four in the morning.

Speaker 32 (01:45:13):
There is something more going on here, something deliberate, something secret,
And who got the four in the morning bad rap
ball rolling?

Speaker 3 (01:45:22):
Anyway?

Speaker 32 (01:45:22):
I say this guy Alberto Giacomettis shown here with some
of his sculptures on the Swiss one hundred franc note.
He did it with this famous piece, its title The
Palace at Four in the Morning nineteen thirty two, an
incredible key to virtually every artistic depiction of four in
the morning to follow it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:43):
I call this the gia Cometti code four.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
In the morning. Are you like that? Do you have
trouble sleep? I just don't. I've never slept. I have
never slept, even when I was a kid, I would
be awake, That's it all the time, never ever, ever slept.
Still to this day, I go to bed sometimes at ten,

(01:46:08):
and you know, my alarm goes off at two, and
then I would say, nine out of ten days I'm
up by one thirty, wide awake, and I don't feel it.
I don't. And maybe once a week I'd like to
take a little nap in the day. And always slept
better in the day too, Always slept better you know,
from like noon till two than I ever do overnight. Hmmmm.

(01:46:30):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three.
At Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter tweet at his
texted program, I love hearing from all of you while
we talk about the craziness, the lunacy of yesterday and
the National Association of Black Journalists and Trump and the
whole nine yards. I want to offer hope because there
needs to be that, And the reality is of how
much closer we are and how much we are not

(01:46:53):
about black and white, but about human and that brings
us to our silly, stupid and at times informational info
of the day.

Speaker 32 (01:47:02):
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
something stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
We'll take stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 23 (01:47:08):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out because
you can never predict they're gonna do something incredibly stupid.

Speaker 9 (01:47:15):
Now you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:47:21):
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidoting.

Speaker 25 (01:47:25):
Now it's time full.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Stupid information.

Speaker 2 (01:47:31):
As we talk about the Olympics and the human spirit
and watching all these people overcome stuff, especially people who
aren't in positions where they're playing ping pong and they're
flying coach and they make very little money and they're
overcoming all of these things, and you know, people coming
together and stuff. And we saw what happened yesterday and
the fight that we have in our identity politics. Remind
everybody of nineteen sixty eight Mexico City. Two sprinters, no

(01:47:57):
three sprinters made a statement that day on Carlos and
Tommy Smith in their black power salute on the podium
in the Games in Mexico City. What was not really
known and never really talked about much was the silver medallist.
He was an Australian guy, a white dude. His name
was Peter Norman. He stood by the duo in solidary

(01:48:19):
while displaying a human rights badge. Norman was just blasted
by his country. In fact, they barred him from competing
in future Olympics. He's now been recognized and when he
died in two thousand and six, both Carlos and Smith
were Paul Barrowers at his funeral. Information that you need

(01:48:44):
to know. Even back then, the fight was there three two, three, five,
twenty four to twenty three at she had Benson show
is your Twitter? Tweet at his text to program solid
enjoyable show today. So much stuff to get to. It
has been a month of months. We were just talking
about it, a historic month, starting with Trump's community as

(01:49:06):
we talked about to the assassination and everything in between
and I feel like it's just now starting to heat
up and we haven't even got to Labor Day. Oh
cheeze Chad. And let's not forget the Olympics are going on.
What you guys, have a blessed and amazing rest of
your day. If you want to reach out to us,
we'd love to hear from you at Chad Benson Show.
Is your X slash, Twitter or whatever it's called. Of course,

(01:49:28):
check out the Instagram and Facebook as well, and always
remember you could text a program or leave a voicemail
at three two three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three.
I see you Friday n Night Jack.
