Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Man.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Imagine waking up today and the nightmare of being in
a Russian prison is over. It's not very nice, d
We three very nice old people come here. Sometimes they
leave a little early in the baldy big but still,
you know.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
We do nice things before that.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's crazy, right, And at the same time, did we
put a target on the back of other Americans around
the world in places that aren't very friendly to America
and the West. On the human side, freaking amazing, We
got them home. That is awesome on the human side.

(00:54):
On the geopolitical side, did we just say taking our people,
we'll get some goodies taking our people. If we've got
one of your people, or you need money, we can
help you out with that.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
Today you're bringing known Paul Evan, also Vladimir, three American
citizens of one American Green card holder. All four have
been imprisoned onjustly in Russia. Paul for nearly six years,
Vladimir since twenty twenty two, Evan since March of twenty
twenty three, and also since October of twenty twenty three.

(01:29):
Russian authorities arrested them, convicted them and show trials and
send them the long prison terms with absolutely no legitimate
reason whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
None, one hundred percent agree with that. One hundred percent
agree with that. Look, could any one of them have
been a spy? Of course, come on, you don't think
they've got spies here. But for the most part, no,
they look like they're pretty damn innocent. We always kind
of chalk it off. It's like, no way they could

(01:59):
be a spy. It's no way. We traded the cyber
guy a couple of but we also traded one of
the guys we gave up was a hitman who was
also a spy and has lots of data and information
that the Russians are really really after. But you do wonder, man,

(02:21):
did we just I mean, the I'm stoke their home
just you have to be you have to be excited
that they're back. But for somebody, and I've traveled a lot.
I remember we played when I was a kid. We
had an opportunity to go to the Eastern Bloc at
the time. So because my kids are fascinating the fact
that there was an East in a West Germany and

(02:44):
we got to go play a game in East Germany,
just literally across the border, and it was scary, right,
like they boarded the bus. You know, we're just like twelve,
super weird, take your passports and stuff. You know, you
have no idea, you know, you're just like, this is

(03:04):
just a soccer games. It was that kind of weird,
you know, middle of the Cold War thing. And you think,
to all these people who travel around the globe in
certain places, does this give ideas to other despots and
bad people, even people that are aligned with Putin? Hey,
go steal some people and you can get what you want.

(03:28):
Will help you out with it.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Paul, a former marine the Russia for a wedding. Evan,
a journalist signed by the Wall Street Journal also also
a journalist, was in Russia to see family. All three
falsely accused of being spies. Vladimir pull enterprize meaning journalist,
and was Paul Bear my friend John McCain's trunel with me.
He spoke out against Putin's regime for that it was

(03:50):
convicted of treason. Now their brutal or deal is over
and they're free.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Amen. Amen, there's some hard words right here though from
this guy.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
What is your message to nights of Vladimir.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Put strapped Okay, I'm sure he's going to do that.
Here's Paul Willing as they touched down last night. Again
it has to be just he looks by the way
and sounds like, yeah, this sucked, but I'll be all right.

Speaker 7 (04:14):
You know, sometimes some harsh words with the government, having
to keep them accountable for taking care of us. But
in the end, you know, here I am. I just
say thank you to everybody, you know, thank you for
all your prayers, your you know, good wishes. Thanks for
doing everything you did. You know it all it all
helped looking forward to seeing my family down here and

(04:34):
just recuperating from five years, seven months and five days
of just absolute nonsense by the Russian government. That's when
it became real. We flew over Ireland, then Canada and
into America, and then I knew.

Speaker 8 (04:45):
I was home.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
There you go. I mean just that.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
If you ever watched prisoner swaps or any of those things,
like even when we got the hostages back from Iran,
they said it wasn't until they were at international airspace
that they said, oh they could start to breathe because
they were waiting for something to happen, waiting, waiting and waiting.

(05:10):
But you do have to ask yourself again, great that
we got him back, what's long term ramifications?

Speaker 9 (05:18):
The administration has sent a signal, as they have before
with Britney Griner, as they did with hostages in Iran,
for the right price, we'll buy an American back from you.
And every time that happens, it reinforces in the minds
of regimes like Russia, in the minds of terrorist groups,
that this administration at least is in the bizarre And

(05:41):
the only question is what's the price that endangers other Americans.
Everybody who carries one of those blue passports becomes a
piece of currency for some terrorists or some authoritarian regime
to grab it makes all Americans more dangerous, more at risk.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, John Bolton, right there, Jake Sullivan earlier today.

Speaker 10 (06:01):
We've done deals to get seventy Americans out, and we
haven't seen another seventy Americans taken. Could that change in
the future. It's possible, It is possible.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Are there seventy Americans left? I don't think there is
seventy Americans?

Speaker 4 (06:19):
They fall run?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Uh you know, somebody said, well, you know Putin, he's
not Putin, will do whatever Putin does. I'm not always
worried about what the pooter does. I know a lot
of people worry about that. I worry about the other
despots around the globe because we've.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Got a lot of people in places like Africa.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
We have a lot of people in places around the globe,
even yes, Eastern European, but mostly in places like that
South America, where they're looking around and they're thinking, is.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Maybe right, maybe we do something.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean, it worked for these guys and we're friendly
with them, so maybe.

Speaker 9 (06:59):
Look, this is not the way for the United States
to behave. The value of an American hostage to anybody
in the world.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Should be zero.

Speaker 9 (07:08):
We don't trade for them, don't take them.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
So there we go. It's very very very interesting. I mean,
it's awesome. It is incredible to see the looks on
their faces, the you know, just all of that, their
families talking about. They got a call from the White House.
So they said it's got to be good news. They're
inviting us, and said we'll settle down. Because remember it
was that Oliver Warmber whatever his name was, from North Korea. Yeah,

(07:37):
they got him back, but it wasn't quite the same
kind of thing. So but thank god, their life that's
what matters, and you cheer on because you got that
side of it, and then cautiously you go, sweet mother
of God, I hope this doesn't happen again, but you
know it will three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Sheed Benson shows your Twitter

(07:59):
tweet text to program sooner rather than later.

Speaker 11 (08:03):
ABC News has learned from its reporter that Shapiro and
Kelly have met with the Harris vetting team for vice
presidential possible picks, a group of others who are unnamed.
I've also met with this team, So it doesn't necessarily
mean that there is only a two person short list,
but clearly it is a step in the direction of

(08:24):
Harris finalizing this pick.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, finalizing the pick. Now, who is the pick going
to be? That's the big thing. Who is the pick.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Going to be?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Uh, it's going to be Shapiro, it is It's going
to be Shapiro.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
I like Kelly.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I like Shapiro as far as you know, you're as
far as First of all, I know Mark Kelly.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
He's always been nice to me.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
He gets mad at me because he won't tell me
where all the UFOs are. Every time I talk to
him interviews like Chad stop asking about UFOs. I'm like,
he goes, there's no UFOs. I'm like, that's exactly what
somebody would say to throw me off, whether or not
there's UFOs.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
They are closing in.

Speaker 11 (09:05):
On a pick this fairly new presidential campaign, and we
know that whoever she picks his VP will be the
attack dog for this ticket, in addition to the attacks
that Harris already aims at Trump. Trying to prosecute the
case against Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, now why somebody like say, for instance, Shapiro over
Kelly Several reasons. First, you're gonna have to balance a ticket. Secondly,

(09:44):
nineteen votes Electro College votes compared to eleven for Arizona.
It's the russ Belt. They do a lot of drilling there.
He's a Jew, and you are seen as the uber
progressive because you are candidate who is more sympathetic with
the Palestinian protesters. Because you are, and you need somebody

(10:08):
to kind of balance that. So that's what you're gonna get. Plus,
she's making the announcement in Philadelphia. He's canceled all of
his big stuff this week. It's a bit of an
attack dog for and he's also the future of the party.

(10:30):
It's not Gretchen Wittmer, and it's not Gavin Newsom. It's
this guy. This guy is I've said it for a while.
Dude is super, super smart, very likable. He would be
even at times considered, probably in the eighties, a Reagan Democrat.
He's for cutting corporate taxes, He's for a lot of things.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
You're like, WHOA, So he I think is the future.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
They're setting this up as if she wins, we may
have sixteen years here. If she doesn't win, he is
going to be front and center and he's going to
be the future. That will just elevate him to that
part of the pedestal and let him run with it.

(11:16):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, you Instagram, all
the other things. A lot of stuff coming up today.

He has been held hostage and been told what to

three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
to Twitter and your Instagram right here at the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 19 (15:49):
We're in Paris.

Speaker 10 (15:52):
Why should black voters trust you after you have used
language like that?

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Jesus is gonna get you some of the fun from
the week.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
You know, I put all this stuff together, and the
amount of crazy that's out there every week is amazing.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
It was just it was a hell of a week.

Speaker 20 (16:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
I think that the story that to this this entire week, Yes,
what took place in the National Association of Black Journalists
was crazy. The Jackson, Mississippi trying to close a Texico because.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
People rob it.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
And there have been shootings in front of the Texico,
and you've got council members and people are like, we
need to close this down because it's a nuisance, never
once bringing up the fact that crime is the nuisance.
The Texico is just a gas station that sells snacks.
I just I'm still gobsmacked by that.

Speaker 13 (16:54):
Just what.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
How did we get here? Speaking of that controversy in
the Olympics, We're gonna talk a bit about the controversy.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
It It's the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Independent Thought, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I found this funny yesterday, Michael Malice was on He's
a political pundit and he was on with Rogan and
he described Kamala Harris as a wine mom.

Speaker 23 (18:17):
I think of her as America's wine mom, because which
seems like she's three deep by noon, and she's got
the three phases of wine mom. She's got happy drunk.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Oh my god, this cereal's gonna rab it on it.

Speaker 23 (18:29):
It's so great, cackling, cackling, cackling. Then there is trying
to drunk at work, where you're trying to make sense
but you don't. Space is around us all and unites
the saul and inspires us aul. And then there's I'm
being sterned so you don't realize how plastered I am.
And I'm making a point. Doctor little girl was me.

(18:50):
Now I'm gonna go upstairs and don't knock on the
door because I'm gonna pass out. So those are her
three ways she talks, and those are the wine mom phases, you.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Know what's And they go on and they kind of
get a little conspiracy about. Sometimes she acts like she's high.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
My wife said, like two weeks ago, she looks like
she's on painkillers. Sometimes I don't think she is. And
I know I'm gonna hear hell from people. Oh jeed,
you just hate her. I don't hate her by the
way she is. And I'll say this, she's Milli Vanilly.
She's Milli Vanilly. She is a boy band constructed in

(19:30):
the laboratory. What is that supposed to mean? If you
look and see what's going on yesterday, I saw a
bunch of people in leftgund one hundred venture capitalists are
right behind Kamala Harris. That shows you a lot about
Donald Trump. I'm like it kind of does that they
think he's an idiot? No, that they think, oh, this

(19:51):
guy here, he may not play our game. We want
the FTC person out of there. We need her out
of there. We got to get rid of her. We
got stuff going on, and we want it to be
the status quo. And it's funny that Democrats, who for

(20:17):
years talked about the evil of big business and money,
love the fact that money's being thrown at her. You
don't think they want something. Of course they do. Of
course they do. They want something big time because some
of the people are really throwing tons of money at

(20:41):
her in packs. And they're doing this because the lady
that sits on the Lena Kahan is a woman that
they would like to see removed from the FTC. Stuff
that won't be talked about, stuff that's actually business that's
important because it's not easy and it's not sexy. But

(21:05):
a bunch of these venture capitalists are throwing tons of
money around for a reason. It's because Trump's a bad
business person, or they recognize that with this neoliberalism and
the opportunity here to have far more of a say
because of the purse strings behind the scenes, that it's

(21:30):
simple and easy to get the powers that be to
program the robot.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
She wants to win man. She wants it bad.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
And when you want something that bad, when you're that
close to it you can taste it, you're willing to
do just about anything. I watched a really cool three
part documentary on Netflix the other night. It was very fascinating,
and you see this a lot in politics, stuff that

(22:03):
doesn't get talked about as much as it should.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
And the show against three parts.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
And if you are my age, a little bit younger,
a little bit older, you would, I think you'd love this.
It is called Dirty Pop the boy band Scam, and
there's about a guy named Lou Pearlman who put together
the Backstreet Boys, who put together.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
In Sync.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
And built an entire scam by the way of Ponzi
scheme of about five hundred plus million dollars through Transcontinental.
This company he had where he had blimps and all
these kind of things. But he manufactured these these bands.
He manufactured these these pop bands, and he seduced them

(22:51):
with power, seduced them with a little bit of money,
seduced them with fame, all the while making the money
and pulling the levers behind them. And that's why when
you see it was at end Sync. That first album
they did after they left him was called No Strings Attached,

(23:12):
and there was the video where they're all kind of
like Marionette's. The whole thought process is they were cutting
the strings to that guy. They were allowed to be themselves,
so there was always going to be a give and take,
and they recognized that, but they wanted it so bad
that they were willing to do just about anything that

(23:34):
includes being the chameleon deciding that she is not for
banning fracking, that she wants to be stronger on the borders,
that she needs to be that strong prosecutor again because
she wants it. That may not be the way she feels.
Maybe she has evolved.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
But the powers that be, like the billionaires, they're doing
stuff behind the scenes because they feel she'll be our
Milli Vanilli. She'll go out there, she'll do what we
ask her to do, and we'll go from there and
for that we'll get what we want. Is it possible? Yeah,

(24:18):
I think it is very much possible. Again, its politics.
Everybody's got to have give and take, and money's in politics.
And because money's in politics, and the power courts money,
money courts power. It's always been that way, it'll always

(24:39):
be that way. That's both right and left. But from
somebody who was for getting rid of ice starting from scratch,
to giving everybody the opportunity that comes here legally and
illegally free health care to all of it, you sure

(25:04):
seemed to have changed a bit of your tune because
you want it so bad, and the people behind you going,
You're going to do what we say and we'll get
you over the hump three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show, It's your Twitter,

(25:24):
your Instagram, Love hearing from all of you. Remember when
you call the text line, it is also a comment line.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
You can leave your voicemail.

Speaker 17 (25:34):
I just wanted to say that I don't feel like
it's fair for him to come at Donald Trump like
either a racist or whatever. Or when he went to
talk to those journalists and the questions were fully loaded
high or asked triple off, buck shot, and he answered

(25:58):
on them, answered their questions. Questions they asked were the
answers they wanted the best he could so anyway, that'llso,
I guess it's appropriate to condemn that man for going
out on a limb and answering their questions. Thank you, goodbye.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I it was first of all, going there was great,
and the way they treated him, it was more about
making statements and having a grievous fest than having a conversation,
but also the opportunities to talk about things and to

(26:41):
put things in your favor when it comes to positions
about the black community, which is just America.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
But whatever you knew who were going with this, He.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Missed the mark and Scott Jenny said, Uh, he crapt

It's the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 12 (28:12):
Welcome to Cheshe No, not the country, the Institution, The
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Concert's Trap.

Speaker 24 (28:21):
M Night Traumalan's Trap is looking to trap some cash.
The tense thriller about the hunt for a serial killer
should catch the most money of the new releases, about
fifteen to twenty million dollars, followed by the family friendly
Harold and The Purple Crayon looking at six to seven
million according to tracking, but neither will be a match
for the merk. With them Out, Cool, Dead, Full and Wolverine,
we'll easily top the box office for a second weekend
in a row. This weekend, it'll likely become the second

(28:43):
highest grossing film of the year so far, behind only
Inside Out two.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I got a decision tomorrow, so we're off on Monday,
so I might just having to make it a double
movie weekend.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
So my daughter's girlfriend's coming up.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
They're gonna have a weekend where they hang out together
and stuff, and they want to go see that.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
They're big call they're they're big comic book nerds, and
they're just so into this.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
And at the same time, my five year old Charlie,
she loves Inside Out, wants to go see Inside Out too,
so excited. And I'm like, Okay, so we're all gonna
go to the movies tomorrow. But what do I do
I split and go with the teenagers go watch that?
Which I or do I want to go with my
daughter because I know how much she loves Inside Out too,
and or just my my wife's like I want to
see that with Charlie. And I'm like, I'm can I

(29:31):
do both? I think I might have to do both.
I think I might.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
I don't know. Decisions.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Oh god, what a great decision to make, right, Oh jeez,
it's that time of the show is sit back and
relax and we talk a little.

Speaker 25 (29:47):
Olympics, the Olympics kids. Let's talk it, shall we? Yesterday

(30:08):
Smoane Biles win a winner.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
She's awesome.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Now I'm gonna say I gave her a lot of
crap in the last Olympics, because I don't think anybody
knew what happened. Seemed like she just quit found out
she was dealing with a lot of stuff, and essentially
she got the yips. And if you don't know what
that is, golfers get it. There there are, there are.
It's amazing to see, like baseball players, guys who are
second baseman can't throw the ball to first. Mackie Sasser,

(30:34):
who was a catcher for the Mets, couldn't throw the ball.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Back to the pitcher.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
They got the yips, right, Butter you getting putt? I
can't putt, you know, it's it's a foot away, and
just I can hit a forty footer, but I can't
hit one a foot away. And she kind of had that,
and I thought she she she good honor for coming
back and winning last night. Good honor.

Speaker 26 (31:00):
I'm super proud of my performance tonight and the fight
that I've had for the last three years mentally and
physically just to get back competing on a world stage
Olympic Games is an amazing experience. So I couldn't be prouder.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Well, proud of you. Way to kick some ass.

Speaker 26 (31:14):
It's amazing to have our village out there and supporting
us because they didn't get to do that in Tokyo.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
So for us all.

Speaker 26 (31:20):
To come together and be able to cherish this memory
together forever is super special.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, because remember told me remb what weird Tokyo was.
It was like people are competing and nobody was. Nobody
there or sparse crowds at best. That was that was bizarre.
But this was you know, so the team event she
won the other night, and this was the all around.
So she's competing at She's competing on all of these

(31:47):
and then I think they have the individual one where
you're like, okay, you're going to compete from on the
problem Wars or the you know, uneven bars, things of
that nature.

Speaker 26 (31:55):
Team competition is always my favorite because we all get
to go out there and compete together and it's just
such a fun time. But for me personally tonight it
means the world to me.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Yeah, because you came back from it from what what
was it? You know, as as a athlete, the biggest, craziest,
worst thing that can happen, which is getting the yips.
Getting that just understandable good for track and field today.
Chikari Richardson's gonna out smoke everybody. I think the US

(32:26):
is gonna have a a massive, massive track and field
win over the next couple of days, and then you've
got more basketball. I was watching the shooting, so you know,
they go out and if the stuff that the people have,
you know, they got stuff covering their eyes. They look

(32:47):
like terminators. They wear these leather suits. I'm like, what
the hell is this? Did you see the guy from
Turkey a which used to be Turkey. He goes out right,
He's like some fifty five or sixty year old dude,
looks like he's in a countant. He's standing there shooting
his pistol, you know, going up against people. They're wearing
special like goggles, stuff that covers one of their eyes.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
It's just that they look like the terminator. And he
goes out there.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
He's got glasses and he's got his hand in his
pocket as if whatever I'll do this. I guess it's
just spectacular. But there was controversy. Kids, I'm not gonna
lie to you. So there's already been some issues with
this Olympic, as we know. The controversy yesterday was about
a boxer from Algeria who beat a boxer from Italy

(33:39):
female boxing. The boxer from Algeria has been banned in
other competitions because of testosterone. On the passport it says female,
Is it intersect is it something else? We know in
Algeria that they don't allow you to do those kind

(34:01):
of things transgender, But it is a situation that they're
dealing with right now. Because the boxer from Algeria punched
the Italian chicks so hard. She said, I've never been
punched at art. The whole fight was forty six seconds,
broke her nose. She was screaming, this is unfair, this

(34:24):
is unjust. You got everybody in the world talking about
it now.

Speaker 27 (34:30):
So now we're watching the Olympics and this Italian girl
has made it. She's boxing, commend her whole life to boxing,
committed her whole life. This girl her dad passed away,
I do believe recently. I assume her and her dad
hit like I assume it's a big story. And then
all of a sudden, she finds herself in the Olympics
moving forward, and she has to fight somebody from Algeria

(34:50):
who has been banned from other competitions because not woman
enough to compete, and then forty six seconds in to
her Olympic fight with this uh person from this woman
from Algeria basically taps out broken nose and then afterward
she cries and she's like, I've never been punched out
hard in my life.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
I mean, she just quit.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
She got hit once, turned around, walked straight over to
her corner, took her took her headgear off, she was done.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
So controversy.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
And there's another fighter also who's been banned by the
same organization.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
So controversy in the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Kids three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, It's your Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other things on the Chad Benson Show
coming up next to our A lot of stuff still
to get to you. More on the prisoner swap. It's
good and bad. Let's be honest with this. It is

(35:46):
good and it is bad from the American human side. Yes,
they're home from the American Oh my god, did we
just tell nations snatch our people off the street and
America will pay for them.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
So you have that balance.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
You can see the good, but you also have to
understand what this potentially does to other people.

Speaker 4 (36:10):

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 24 (36:54):
We've got breaking new news again.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
I don't have sound effects. You're gonna have to deal
with that. Job jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, in to it.

Speaker 8 (37:07):
It's time for the July Jobs Report.

Speaker 28 (37:09):
The underwins for the July Jobs Jobs, Jobs Report, non
farm payrolls comes in at one hundred and fourteen thousand,
one hundred and fourteen thousand. Of course, that is the
lightest level going back to minus two hundred and forty
three thousand, which was DCE of twenty twenty in the
pandemic affected months. Of course, Now, if we look at

(37:32):
the unemployment rate, the unemployment rate moved up to four
point three.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Moved up to four point three.

Speaker 28 (37:40):
That is the warmest it's been since October of twenty one.
October of twenty one, and if we look at revisions,
I should bring that out rather quickly, we see that
last month's non farm moved from two hundred and six
thousand down to one hundred and seventy nine thousand.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Breaking news.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
I feel like Kramer, right, gotta push all the buttons.
I got all kinds of buttons here. You guys want
to hear some. Here's some.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
That's pretty good for the job support.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Uh revision down, this job support down. Let me explain
to you what non farm is. Maybe that'll help you, guys,
because I want to make sure that you guys get
that because a lot of people what the hills that
even mean? So something like farm, right, those are seasonal workers,
they're in and out their temporary jobs. The nonfarm is

(38:35):
everything that is in the private and public sector that
is a job, a permanent job.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Okay, so it doesn't count active military.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
So if they add fifty thousand active mility, that doesn't count.
If you are a nonprofit, that's not counting. These are
essentially what we would consider just regular, run of the
mill jobs. And does that signal that we're going to
have a bigger it you when it comes to what's
happening in the economy. We're going to talk to our

(39:06):
buddy Zach Abraham coming up a little bit later. But
you know, this is also maybe signal that we're going
to see a situation.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
Where they're thinking about lowering rates.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
So if you want lower rates, you're gonna need a
tick up and unemployment. We got that tighter job market,
cooling of inflation, then you could start to see rates
maybe take a step down. We're gonna get Zach's feel
on this coming up a little bit later this hour,
but just toting into the program breaking news. I love

(39:42):
the airhorn. I do feel like Kramer. I'm not gonna
lie to the You know what else do I have here?
There you go? Uh, job numbers were kind of ugly.
They revised last months from two hundred and six down
to one hundred and seventy four, and this month was
well below where it should have been by some sixty thousand,

(40:04):
and they'll revise that to and this first number is
always a revision and rarely did they revise it up.
So not only could we be seeing a slowdown in
the economy, but which could help with lowering of rates,
But is there a potential for a recession on the horizon?
To show you what the weird economy we have? You

(40:24):
probably didn't see this. Maybe you find interest, maybe you don't.
There was a building sold yesterday in Manhattan, New York City,
No York City. Originally bought for three hundred and thirty
two million dollars, sold for eight point five million, about

(40:47):
two and a half percent of what they paid for it.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Think about that.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
The office space, it's it's a it's an interesting building
because you own the building, but you don't own the land.
And it's got this leaves forever and stuff, but there's
just nobody there.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
It's only like thirty percent occupied.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
And you go, look at what's going on when it
comes to offices and office space.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
Good luck. Who wants it?

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Nobody? Nobody does. Why would you need it? And for
people who do need a storefront if you will, or something,
they're downsizing, Oh geez three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three. At Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter tweet? At is texted program? We've got an
election coming up, and it's boys versus girls, especially young

(41:37):
men versus young women.

Speaker 20 (41:38):
It used to be that you could pretty reliably rely
on releast young men to espouse more liberal views than
their older counterpoints and more aligned with gender now, something
basically true throughout modern history. The recent educational divide, though,
and especially the population of media with college educated viewpoints,
has now flipped that on a dime, seemingly overnight. Young men,

(42:00):
it seems, for the very first time ever in modern
American history, are actually becoming increasingly right wing. A new
Wall Street Journal analysis of multiple different data sets finds
that young men between the ages of eighteen to twenty
nine are becoming astonishingly republican, and perhaps even more importantly,
are diverging significantly from young women and their peer group.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
What Yeah, male versus female, especially amongst the young. We've
been talking about it for quite a while. That's her
buddy Saga from Breaking Boys Love SoC If you guys
ever want to watch someboddy, who's going to give you
both sides? No bs, don't pull any punches. It's Saga
and Crystal Sager Conservative, young cool guy, Crystal Priat, very progressive.

(42:46):
They're good friends. They talk politics at times. The progressive
will agree with the conservative, and the conservative will agree
with the progressive in some of the things because they
see the ugliness and reality of what goes on behind this.
Because they're based in DC, and this is what they've
done their entire adult life. So he's breaking down the
fact that you have boys versus girls, which we've been

(43:08):
talking about, and you got to split this up. The
young women of today single very progressive. All you have
to do is look on college campus is a vast
majority of the protests you're seeing are led in most
part by women. So you've got that young men more
conservative and becoming more conservative, frustrated at what they see

(43:31):
going on in the world, essentially being neutered across the board,
and everything they do is toxic masculinity, and so there's
a divide, which also doesn't help in the dating world.
And when we don't have children, you become that cat
lady or the weird dude who is just weird.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
You see where I'm going with this. I do? Okay,
Well continue please, sir.

Speaker 20 (43:53):
When you dig down into the issue sets, it actually
starts to get very crazy. Take quote favoring or opposing
major action on climate change. For women, it's a plus
sixty seven percent issue. For men, it's just plus thirty
two for legal abortion. With women it is plus fifty
three for men, just plus sixteen. For student loans, it's
plus forty five for women, for men plus two allowing

(44:15):
kids to pick their gender identity women plus two for men.
It is a whopping minus thirty three for supporting task cuts.
With men, it's a plus twenty three with women. It's
a minus twenty for building a border wall with Mexico,
minus four for men, minus forty seven for women. So,
in other words, for some pretty major issues in US politics,

(44:36):
the spread in importance and depth of feeling for young
men and women is significant. That's spread itself, and what
parties are running on, namely immigration and abortion, explains why
both would them trend majorly in both directions.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Correct Sager, Correct, here's a young woman talking about why
women are far more liberal.

Speaker 29 (44:56):
I think that a big reason that young women are
mostly the booting for Democrats is because of abortion and
the overturn of Roe v. Wade and just the general
stance on abortion from the Republican Party. I do believe
that that is a policy issue and that is a
big reason that women are putting for Democrats.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
Yeah, it's abortion.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
I mean, even in the sense where they were talking
about the gender side of stuff, two percent of women
say yeah they should. But a lot of it's based
on the feeling side of things. And that's the differing
that we're seeing emotional feelings, you know, in a certain way.
And for young men it's different, not that they don't
have feelings. But I see it. I see it with

(45:36):
my son. I see it with his little friends. I
see it with you know. And then my daughter's fifteen,
she is you know, she's very kind of left then
quite she's show on the spectrum, so she doesn't quite
always get everything, and she's easily influenced and stuff.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
But I see it.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Then I see it with my thirteen year old daughter,
who is not she's very very skeptical and a lot
of things, ask questions.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
But it's very different and how they're engaged.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
And for those of you guys, I'm telling you, guys, TikTok,
the influence is massive continue soccer.

Speaker 20 (46:05):
So what does this relate to education? Well, I would
point out to you that the student loan question. The
reason there's a forty percent net difference between young men
and women on student loans is it's mostly young women
who are going to college. As I have covered here
now for several years, many young men, at higher rates
than ever before are dropping out. Many elite colleges are
now running a two to one ratio of women to men,

(46:27):
with a trend only going in an even further polarized direction.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
And it's getting worse, much worse, much much worse that
gap at college, which says a lot. And when you
talk about, like, let's just say the dating aspect, or
us coming together and producing children so nobody becomes a
cat lady or an in cell, the reality is we
are dividing in such a way that isn't healthy at

(46:54):
all and doesn't promote a strong future for America. You've
also got a lot of young women out there who
look at men who work with their hands as ugh,
that's beneath me, even if they make more money.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Something about dirty fingernails. I guess.

Speaker 20 (47:11):
Simultaneously, if you're a young dude you watch fitness content
or the UFC, what are you seeing pop up things
like Jake Paul's Trump endorsement or Logan Paul's Trump interview,
Trump literally walking out to a massive fanfare at the
UFC and fighters who are constantly talking him up. Both
are cultural institutions of men and women who are very
young and are polarizing significantly. They consume very different media,

(47:34):
they care dramatically about different issues, and in the future
it could set us up for some very interesting politics,
one where men and women of the very same race,
and probably even the very same class.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
Begin to diverge their votes.

Speaker 20 (47:46):
I've spoken at lengthier about how I think the social
consequences of this will likely be bad. But at this
point all we can really say is that the ball
is now clearly in motion and the future will be
I guess interesting if this trend continues, and.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
It's going to and again the social aspect of it, dating,
having children. It's not just about the climate change and affordability.
If you look over and you see somebody's conservative and
you're very liberal, you're not gonna date them.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
You're not gonna have kids with them.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
And if you've got women going to school in masses
and men not going to school but taking a different
route and they're more conservative and you're more liberal, who
three two.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty three at
Chet Bedson.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Shows your Twitter talk about the beepsteaks coming up my

You're listening to the Chad Benson show.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
It's called The veep Steaks. Who could it? Veep b
Did I say veeep? Yeah? Vep.

Speaker 11 (49:56):
ABC News has learned from its reporter that Shapiro and
Kelly have met with the Harris vetting team for vice
presidential possible picks, a group of others who are unnamed.
I've also met with this team, So it doesn't necessarily
mean that there is only a two person short list,
but clearly it is a step in the direction of

(50:17):
Harris finalizing this pick.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
I think we know who is going to be. I
think Kelly had the edge originally, but Shapiro. Everything points
to Shapiro. The people I've talked to point to Shapiro.
They said, it's it's already kind of a done deal.
And the reason is simple. She's got a few problems

(50:45):
blind spots if you will. Of course Jed gets you
hater no, because reality is, she is seen as a well,
she's seen for what she is. She's a San Francisco progressive,
very liberal. She's been and very outspoken about what's going
on in Israel, and because of that there needs to

(51:09):
be balance. Shapiro balances that and it's also Pennsylvania. If
you were gonna lose one of the two, if you
had to choose between Arizona or Pennsylvania, and you say,
all right, whichever one I pick, I'm probably going to win.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
You're gonna go with Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
It's more important. It is plus you can do a
couple different things.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
The border.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
You've got to say to yourself, I'm gonna lose the
border issue. So doesn't matter what I do, I'm losing
the border issue. I've got to add Pennsylvania because not
only can I, for lack of a better term, but
kill two birds with one stone, which is he's Jewish
young and I'll be honest, of all of the Democrats

(51:53):
that are out there at the bench, you know, as
I was talking about who's got a deep bench, he
probably should be at the top of the ticket. That
being said, he is a semi conservative Ish Democrat, if
you know, for what it's worth, especially.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
In today's world.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
at Chad Benton Show, it's your Twitter, your Instagram, all
of the other things right here on the Chad Benon Show.
He's been very much pro Israel. He's been very much
down on the protesters, which they're already coming hard for him.

(52:39):
Pro Palestinian groups are trying to just crush him to
make sure he's not a part of it.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
All the more reasons she might. And the other thing
is comes from a state.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Would they do a lot of drilling so you're gonna
get energy and maybe a balance on the ticket without
losing the Jewish vote. You know, yesterday, it's funny I
played that phone call where that guy's like, he's threatening
to kick my ass and all that stuff, and I
just laugh because I get that a lot. I got
a couple more of those, and I'm like, yeah, it's
not worth it. On the other side of things, the left,

(53:09):
you know, tax me on Twitter because you're just a
cheap rush limbah blah blah blah blah blah. You're just
you're all of the things that the right is and
you just go after you know, Harrison, I'm like, I
haven't gone after.

Speaker 4 (53:21):
That's an old point.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
I mean, you know, I joke, make fun, but I
do that with everybody, by the way, but people hear what.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
They want to hear. They do.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
They hear what they want to hear, and it is
amazing what people hear.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
We used to do a thing.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Maybe we'll bring it back what I said, what you heard,
And you can do that with politicians too, what I
just said and what you hurt, because in this day
and age, it's no longer what you say or even
how you say it.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
It's how it's taken that matters.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
at Chad Benson Shows your Twitter. I got some of
your tweets, some of your texts well, a lot of
other good stuff to get to, including our buddy Zach Abram,
Chief Investment Option Bulber Capital's going to join the program.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
We're going to talk about the Fed. Are they going
to lower rates? Is it political?

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Where are we seeing this economy headed. We'll do that
as well with Zach coming up in a little bit.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Does getting the prisoners back make our citizens around the
globe targets? I think that is a fair question to ask,
and I know the White House has asked that. That
being said, we need to cheer on the fact that
Paul Wheeler and and Evan Grisovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter,

(55:04):
and two others are back.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
That is amazing. That is freaking incredible.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
That being said doesn't mean that long term it was
the right thing. And I know that sounds horrible because
you want to like, oh my god, if that was
me or my family, all I care about is I
want them home.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
I want them home. I want them home.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
You're not thinking about the next person that is somewhere
And you know what I've gone from the macro micro
kind of look at this because micro is Russia, Russia, Russia.
Macro is what about other despots around the globe who
decide we're just gonna snatch them up in places like Africa,

(55:46):
warlords or you know those kind of things, which we
It's weird because that happens a lot more than I
think people realize. And it used to be kind of
status quo in places like South America. In places like
South America, this is what it was. It was business.
They would you know, fark or one of these groups
would snatch you up. You're kind of like what you

(56:08):
see with the shipping companies, the cargo right, They've got
insurance they're going to pay out to the pirates or
the kidnappers the Proof of Life Russell Crowe movie, remember that,
Meg Ryan, and You're gonna pay off and then everybody
moves on with their life. But now if you think,
well I can get money out of the government, that's
a different story. It is great their home, but did

(56:31):
we put a bullseye in the back of American citizens today?

Speaker 5 (56:35):
You're bringing on Paul Evan also Vladimir, three American citizens
of one American green card holder.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
All four have been.

Speaker 5 (56:43):
Imprisoned on justly in Russia. Paul for nearly six years,
Vladimir since twenty twenty two, Evan since March of twenty
twenty three, and also since October of twenty twenty three.
Russian authorities arrested them, convicted them, and show trials and
in the long prison terms with absolutely no legitimate reason
whatsoever none.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
By the way, if you've not seen the picture.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Of them when they're finally in international airspace, it's freaking
amazing in the plane.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
It's just it's awesome, it really is.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
And everybody's like, Biden gotta win. Trump said he could
have brought him home. Well he didn't, and you know
it's this is one of those things where you understand
the criticism you're gonna get, and you accept that, and
you rightly understand that that criticism is very much warranted

(57:43):
based on the world that we're living in, especially right now,
because you understand that you're also putting other people at risk.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
Paul, a former marine the Russia for a wedding. Evan
a journalist signed by the Wall Street Journal also also
a journalist, was in Russia to see family. All three
falsely accused of me spies Vladimir pull enterprise men journalists,
and was Paul Bear my friend John McCain's schunel with me.
He spoke out against Putin's regime for that, he was

(58:09):
convicted of treason. Now their brutal ordeal is over and
they're free.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Which is amazing. Paul Will in touchdown last night, had
lots say.

Speaker 7 (58:17):
You know, sometimes some harsh works with the government, having
to keep them accountable for taking care of us, but
in the end, you know, here I am. I just
say thank you to everybody, you know, thank you for
all your prayers, your good wishes, Thanks for doing everything
you did. You know it all, it all helped looking
forward to seeing my family down here and just recuperating

(58:38):
from five years, seven months and five days of just
absolute nonsense by the Russian government. That's when it became real.
We flew over Ireland, in Canada and into America, and
then I knew I.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Was home, getting the international airspace. I remember watching a
great document about the Iranian hostages, So when that happened.
As a kid, I every day waking up. And for
those of you are little bit younger, we used to
get a thing called a.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
Newspaper and.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
They would have day two, day three, and people forget
Nightline Chard Cropple that started because of Iran a failed attempt.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
Right was it Eagle Talent or whatever that Carter tried
to do.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
But they talked about they didn't feel they were safe
until they got to international air space. They were waiting
to be shot down. And you hear him there like
it didn't really sink in until it's like you are.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
There.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
And the hostages talked about the fact that when they
took off, even when the wheels got in the air,
not a word was said until they got the plane full.
Nothing not a word said until they got too international

(59:59):
air space. There's going to be a lot to adjust to.
This is a former prisoner Alex Druki, who was held
by the Russians.

Speaker 30 (01:00:08):
Our diet was so horrible that when I first came
back and everybody thought, oh, you were starving and you
lost thirty pounds, Like I surely wanted to eat, but
I had to ease back into eating. We had to
be really careful with you know, not too many spices,
not too many meat fats, you know, anything that could
upset my stomach. This September will be the two year
anniversary of my release, and I'm still dealing with a
lot of things. It's a whole lot of She's readjusting

(01:00:30):
to being back in a normal place with rights and
people that love you and food.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
And then you go to the other side of it,
the humanitarian side you're cheering on, You're stoked, You're like,
this is awesome. Imagine waking up today after spending years
somebody like Wheel in prison and being forgotten his name,
and the knowing of him nationally grew because of Britney Griner,
who was over the moon. Yes they good for her,

(01:00:56):
she should be, but that being said, he was there
for a long time, and waking up today just got
to feel so surreal and weird, but I do go
back to did we now say America is open for business?

Speaker 9 (01:01:13):
The administration has sent a signal, as they have before
with Brittaney Griner, as they did with hostages in Iran.
For the right price, we'll buy an American back from you.
And every time that happens, it reinforces in the minds
of regimes like Russia, in the minds of terrorist groups,
that this administration at least is in the bizarre. And

(01:01:36):
the only question is what's the price that endangers other Americans.
Everybody who carries one of those blue passports becomes a
piece of currency for some terrorists or some authoritarian regime
to grab. It makes all Americans more dangerous, more at risk.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Yeah, John Bolton, right there, it does. And he talked
about the terrorist organizations, and you know, you talk about
several of the the warlords and the groups throughout places,
especially in Africa, who are liigned with Russia and China
and Iran. Ugly but awesome at the same time. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(01:02:15):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your
Twitter tweet at as text the program, What a month
for VP Harris? So she started out as the vice president.
Just Joe is great. It's never been better.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
I just I went in the room. He was on
his Nordic track.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
He was juggling, he was writing poetry, and he was
also he's got a new abacus he's been working with.
He's he's doing this amazing stuff that you couldn't even
understand because it's so complex to She's now the candidate
and the presumptive nominee.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
And July was good money wise.

Speaker 31 (01:02:52):
Vice President Kamala Harris's political operation raised a record three
hundred and ten million dollars in July. As she enters August,
her campaign has three hundred and seventy seven million dollars
cash on hand. This massive hall was raised by three
million people, two thirds of which were first time donors
and ninety four percent of which were from supporters donating

(01:03:12):
two hundred dollars or less, a sign of new enthusiasm
surrounding her campaign. Brittany Shepherd ABC News Washington.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
And we talked earlier about the amount of money coming
in from venture capitalists, and some of you are like,
what are you saying stuff like that because they're on
her side and not trump sides, because they see him
as a bad businessman. They see him as somebody he's
probably a little bit harder to deal with and not
have the opportunity to manipulate. And you know what they
call the PayPal mafia, where you've got a bunch of

(01:03:41):
people start a PayPal who are throwing tons of money
at this And there's a reason for that because there
are certain things they would like to see done, in
particular with the FDC chair who they're not a fan
of and would like to have some of the things
that they dream of put into place. I've said this once,

(01:04:03):
maybe five thousand times. There is very little between Republicans
and Democrats. And I'm not talking about the belief. The
structure is business, the belief is something else. It's a business.
That's what politics has become, a straightforward business. They are
two companies fighting. Coke and PEPSI are sodas, colas, pop

(01:04:30):
whatever you want to call it. That's what they are.
Coke and PEPSI just happened to be a business. Republican
and Democrats are businesses. So if you've got to go court,
business money money gets you listening and get you the
opportunity to get in the room. Three two three five,

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Every Friday, we sit down on top of the economy.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Our buddies zat game Ramchievestment Officer Bowl Capitol, friend of
the show, sponsor of the show.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
What'd you make of the fed?

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
First off, the bat sounds like he's signaling pal Probably September,
they're gonna think about dropping, you know, rates down, which
feels very much like, hey, that gets close to election time.

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
But whatever.

Speaker 13 (01:06:47):
Yeah, I mean, there's nothing guaranteed in this business, and
anybody that tells you there is run the other way
because they're a charlatan or worse, they're a fraudster. But
when you think when we start talking about rate cut,
expectations in September. I think twenty five basis points is
about as close as you can get to an absolute
lack of a sure thing. And I, based on economic

(01:07:08):
data we're seeing come out this week and even today,
I'm really starting to think you're going to see more
like a fifty basis points cut. It's interesting how fast
it's happening. But I am seeing action in the bond
market that looks like we're we've got a growth concern
or a growth scare. I'm seeing employment data coming out
that looks like we've got a growth scare. I'm seeing
earnings reports coming out that are disappointing. I'm looking at

(01:07:31):
different sectors in the stock market that are performing others
that aren't that are traditionally phenomenal signs.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
Of slowing growth and growth issues.

Speaker 13 (01:07:40):
You're checking a lot of boxes and it's happening really fast.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
You know, if you'd ask me a.

Speaker 13 (01:07:45):
Week ago, Chad, where we're at, I'd be like, it
was really just looking like a systematic unwind of the
short small and mid cap play that had been going
on so long. So with the most popular trade of
the year had been short small and mid cap stocks.
Long the magnificence seven and Tech and it just got
way overdone. So for the last week and a half,
as Tech's been pulling back, it looked like just an

(01:08:07):
unlined But now we're seeing several different things going on,
include the action and yields. The TLT, which measures the
twenty year treasury crested ninety five for the first time
in a while.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
Today.

Speaker 13 (01:08:18):
You're watching, you know, markets getting hammered. We're watching defensives
have a very nice day. We've been loading up on
tobacco companies and typical defensive plays like utilities and all
that kind of stuff for the last two to three months.
They're really booying us today and you're seeing the high
flyers get hammered. I mean, if you look at economic

(01:08:39):
data coming out and then you look at the way
the market's responding to it, and again it's just today,
we don't want to make too much of it, but
the orderliness of this all and the way it is
all pointing in the same direction right now, it feels
very much like the market's starting to go.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
Uh oh, we could have a problem talking to Zach Abraham,
Chief Vestment Officer or Capital Okay, so let's just say
he moves fifty basis points. What's that do for the
market itself? What does that do for well, just everybody
in general. I mean, because there's going to be a
sense of okay, things you're getting back to normal. We're
seeing some job losses. Maybe at the tightening of the marketplace,

(01:09:16):
is inflation you're going to start to come down things
like that.

Speaker 13 (01:09:19):
Yeah, good question. So the way that we would approach this,
and as always in this business, I reserve the right
to completely reverse myself a week from now right, but
based on what we're seeing, like, for instance, let's say
tomorrow a rate cut announcement came out, or let's say
the Fed was going to announce their rate decision tomorrow,
I would cash out all of our short positions that

(01:09:40):
we've had on for the last two weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:09:41):
And it's not a lot.

Speaker 13 (01:09:42):
We've been shorting tech and we've got a pretty nice
short position against in video that's up about seventeen percent today.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
Good day. Yeah, we'll take it. We lucked out a.

Speaker 13 (01:09:53):
Little bit on the timing because we kind of top
clipped that one, But if that was going to happen tomorrow,
with the close of business today, I close out all
of our shorts, and I would look to sell into
strength because this market is trained like a Pavlovian, you know,
like a pack of Pavlovan dogs. If the FED cuts
by everything, and I don't think that that relationship is broken,

(01:10:14):
but I do think it's I think it's overrun. And
again that's assuming that, like the economic data is what
we're seeing right now. So I think you'd probably see
a really significant rally for a day or two, maybe
even three, maybe a week. But for us, again assuming
that things look the way they look now, that would
be a selling opportunity for us, especially on anything that

(01:10:36):
we consider to be a little more speculative, higher valuation.
And the other thing I was talking about, you know,
one of the reasons that we're quote unquote defensively positioned
isn't because we're trying to time the market. It's just
that so much of the popular stocks had reached such
an extreme and so many of these defensive dividend type
payers were just stupidly cheap that it was almost the

(01:11:00):
value play as opposed to a defensive you know, and
and obviously there's a kicker. It makes it a little
more attractive knowing that those things are going to hold
up in a storm. But you know, I keep pounding
the table on this. I just think it is such
a wonderful time to rediversify your portfolio. Everybody is so
loaded up on the stuff that's getting smacked, and there's

(01:11:20):
so much good stuff out there that will act like
a booie or a life veest. But it's also throwing
off really good earnings. They're really cheap, and they're throwing
off fat dividends. So I think they're attractive on their
own right at this point, but also considering what we're
looking at on the economic front, I think it makes
a lot of sense.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
I love that my name of a new band fat dividends.

No.

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
I think he's not going to stop. So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
Yeah, got our people back. It's a good thing. They
got the calls yesterday had to be kind of a
weird thing.

Speaker 21 (01:13:53):
We've got to call from the White House that we're
invited in to the White House. We were uncertain, so
much so that we even hopes to get to the
Taylor Swift concert, and we were supposed.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
To go to this Friday. Hey, we got your wife back.
You know, I get it. I'm Stokes.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
I mean we like any other day would be awesome,
but we have Taylor Swift tickets and I don't know
if I can make it. These are hard to get.
These are harder to get than to get them out.
That's what they actually had a trade to get to
get their family members out. He's like, what you got
for me? We've got this guy over here's a hit man.

(01:14:33):
He knows all these secrets about Germany and NATO. No, no, no,
the interested We got this person. Here's some money launderer.
All right, you know between the two maybe but still
not enough. All right, all right, Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
Now you've got me. You give me Taylor Swift tickets.
I give you back. Butterson, that's the there we go.

Speaker 33 (01:14:53):
We thought, well, we can't be called to the White
House for badness, So we were very happy to get
the call and we're so thankful for everything that's happening.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Yeah, one of the wives very excited. They're home. They're
on American soil, which is fansiastic. I know there's.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
Some of you are like, why can't you give Biden
a win? First of all, it's America who has the win. Secondly,
good for them, But you do have to ask yourself,
did we do something that is going to put more
people in danger in the future. That's a very fair question.
That's not being partisan, that's being honest. We would like

(01:15:34):
it if the world was full of fluffy unicorns, but
it's not so. The American in me raw Rah Usa. Yeah, baby,
they're home. The realist who's traveled all over in me goes.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
Wooh, what do we do? So all fair things to
ask kids. By the way, job supports out to it,
it's time for the July jobs Report.

Speaker 28 (01:16:09):
The underwins for the July Jobs Jobs Jobs Report, non
farm payrolls comes in at one hundred and fourteen thousand.
One hundred and fourteen thousand. Of course, that is the
lightest level going back to minus two hundred and forty
three thousand, which was DCE of twenty twenty in the
pandemic affected months. Of course, Now, if you look at

(01:16:31):
the unemployment rate, the unemployment rate moved up to four
point three. Moved up to four point three. That is
the warmest it's been since October of twenty one. October
of twenty one. And if we look at revisions, I
should bring that out rather quickly. We see that last
month's non farm moved from two hundred and six thousand

(01:16:54):
down to one hundred and seventy nine thousand.

Speaker 4 (01:16:57):
Whoa not a great job support.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
The good news is the tightening of the marketplace means
that while it ticks up, remember as unemployment ticks up,
what ends up happening is there's a good chance that,
as we talked to our Budy Zach Gabram last hour,
you're gonna get.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
Rates coming down, which will help.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
But you've seen a second revision and you know you're
gonna get a revision on this one, and it is
ticking up.

Speaker 4 (01:17:32):
Yeah, are we headed towards a resession? Hope not? I
think all of us hope not.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
I've never understood people who are like I want my
political party to win so bad.

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
I hope and pray that the economy takes a crap
so my team can get in because I'll get that
from I'll get that from people who will say stuff
like that. Remember what it was Bill.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
Maher said, look before COVID, if you want to get
Trump out, the best you can hope for and everybody
should go for, is there is a massive recession.

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
Everybody got all pissed off and angry with them rightly
so uh so.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
Crazy crazy. Indeed, uh will she pick a ship Hero
not Ben Shapiro. Wouldn't that be hilarious if Kamala Harris
came out and picked Ben Shapiro as the vice presidential candidate.
No Josh Shapiro. And it's about a balancing act. At

(01:18:43):
this point in time, they're looking at the ticket, and
I do wonder how much she's got say in.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
What is going on with this?

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
The way that I think people think that they have
say she is surrounded by people who are now in charge.
She as I've and it sounds say whatever you want,
I'm gonna say it because whatever you already say crabby
things about me, And I'm fine with that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
She's Millie Vanilli. She's a product at this point in
time of I want this job so bad? What do
I have to do to get it?

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
This is what you're going to do if you want
this job, and this is what's going to happen. And
they have manufactured her into there's a reason she's not
spoken to the press in twelve twelve days. She's the
presumptive nominee. She goes, she says a few things, and
then she moves on. But she has a progressive issue

(01:19:41):
to deal with. Joshapiro brings with him potentially Pennsylvania nineteen
electoral College votes. On top of that, it is a
state where they drill, It's russ Belt, He's Jewish, and
a time when you're seen as sympathetic to the Palestinians
and harsh Israel. That balances things out. And there are

(01:20:04):
people out there who hate Donald Trump. Casing point Michael Rappaport.

Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
I'm concerned. I'm not voting for Kamala Harris. I can't
do it.

Speaker 34 (01:20:15):
Why because I can't support a party that is about
all this vote.

Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
You know, a couple of weeks ago, bb.

Speaker 34 (01:20:23):
Net, Now, I don't care what people think of the
Prime Minister of Israel. While there's eight American hostages in Gaza.

Speaker 4 (01:20:30):
They didn't show up proudly.

Speaker 34 (01:20:32):
Bernie and the burnouts, the squad and all these race hustling.
They weaponize it to a point where it's dangerous, and
they didn't show up to hear the Prime Minister. I
don't America's greatest isl like, whether you like it or not,
Israel's America's greatest isl like.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
You don't show up.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Because for the most part, the Jewish population votes Democrat,
and they're looking here saying you do have some that
are sympathetic with Palestine, very liberal, but you have a
lot of people who are like, well, hold on a second.
We may not be a fan of bib at Yahoo,

(01:21:13):
but Israel is Israel, and that will always be.

Speaker 4 (01:21:23):
Regardless of who the leader is, and you need to
show them respect.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
And on top of that, you are supporting people who
are outright saying Hamas is coming, putting the Palestinian flag
up over the American flag, talking about how they're coming
to finish the job. Those kind of things that is
not going to win over a lot of people. And
let me tell you what will happened. I've talked to
cout my buddies. I found out last year I was Jewish.

(01:21:48):
We did one of those uh, those DNA things. And
you know, I'm Jewish, but I talked to cout my
buddies whose grandparents who I loved. We're at Birkanou in Auschwitz,
and while they are so liberal, they'll set it out

(01:22:12):
rather than vote for Trump or Kamala, you.

Speaker 34 (01:22:16):
Don't show up while we're under siege from not just Hamas,
these gang banging, criminal Gestapo mobs, all these other proxies
from Iran, Like this isn't just about Israel, like this
is you know, Iran.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
They want the whole thing to not show up and
to not hear the man speak. And it's it's just
crazy to me. It's just like you get a little older,
you start to go, what the hell is going on here?
Michael Rappaport there talking about why he won't vote for her.
Shapiro looks likely to be it. He is brilliant, he
is smart.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
I think he is the future of the Democratic Party,
and I think he could bring a lot of independence
and even some disgruntled conservatives over because he's also very
pro business.

Speaker 20 (01:23:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
But they're trying to balance this ticket out because she's
going to have that issue, and there's already people pushing
against him who are pro Palestinians saying you better not
or else.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
That's insane.

Speaker 35 (01:23:16):
I am really glad to see these high profile folks
coming out and condemning the anti semitism of the left's
attacks on Josh Shapiro. Of course, every single one of
the picks, the potential picks for VP, is pro Israel.
Josh Shapiro's crime was saying that we would not tolerate,
you know, people dressed up like the KKK on college campuses,
and thus we should not tolerate people dressed up as

(01:23:38):
hamas and hits bulla right and for this he must
be eviscerated. I have to say, though, Leland, I'm taking
heart not just in the reports that you know she's
potentially choosing him, but in what it signifies, because if
we know anything about Kamala Harrits, it's that she is
a flip flopper, right. She takes the position that she
considers to be wherever the center of gravity of the

(01:24:01):
party happens to be.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
And that's why I keep saying she wants it so bad,
she's willing to do anything, and so when people say
what does she stand for, they're gaslighting and say she
was none of these things. I think she's more progressive
San Francisco style in her beliefs, but understanding that that
doesn't sell well to the rest of the country and
the people that you need to get you over the hump, well,

(01:24:27):
you better figure out how to temper that message with, Hey,
we're not going to get rid of all fossil fuels.

Speaker 4 (01:24:31):
In fact, I'm going to champion them. Hey, we're going
to do everything we can to close down the border.
And I did a lot of stuff. They're going to
try to sell it in a much different way.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
And she needs to balance the ticket because people look
at her and say, you try to bail a bunch
of people out in Minnesota by putting up a link
after they burn down a good portion of the city,
and you've been pretty harsh towards Israel.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
You better figure it out. And they're saying, if you want,
you're gonna do what we say.

that looks like we would have made it up after school,
you know, if you're after school program, boys and girls
club whatever, and they've got indoor soccer nets, but nobody
can kick a soccer ball. But they have a little
soccer ball, so you pick it up and you're like,

(01:30:00):

kidding me?

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
That was just a week. Yep, that was just a week.

Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three At Chad Bentson Show, It's your Twitter, Gainsta and
all the other things, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
Hey, it's that time of the week on Fridays when
we look at some stories that maybe we didn't have
a chance to get to this week because it's been
a crazy, chaotic week, as you guys all know.

Speaker 4 (01:31:36):
We call this a little sound salad, and we start
with Dave.

Speaker 36 (01:31:41):
Sick of swiping dating apps. One West Philadelphia man is
putting himself out there in a very public way. Twenty
eight year old data manager Dave bought this billboard in
his neighborhood near thirty fourth in Wharton and put details
about his search for a date on it. He's a
good cook, has normal hobbies, and owns a cat, also

(01:32:01):
pictured there on the billboard. We talked to Dave today
about his unique approach to finding a lady friend.

Speaker 32 (01:32:08):
It's just supposed to be funny for the most part,
but I'm not gonna lie that. The added benefit is
that girls are interesting messaging me first now, which is great.

Speaker 36 (01:32:19):
Interesting party should hit him up on his Instagram page
Date Dave Philly. He's already received hundreds of dms, with
a date already in the works about a week after
the billboard went up.

Speaker 32 (01:32:32):
I have one setup for tomorrow. I think it's probably
going to be a little walk or something. But yeah,
people are being very forward if they want a date,
which I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
Right on Dave, Dave's you know you take a look
at Dave. I gotta be honest with the you worry
again now, trying to be mean right like Dave. But
that's how bad dating is.

Speaker 4 (01:32:56):
Nowadays.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
And we heard that girl earlier this week. She wanted
money for even going to the date. We used to
have a name for something different than that. But she
had receipts because it was going to cost you to
date her.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
Just for showing up. She had pre and post date expenses.

Speaker 36 (01:33:22):
He's also getting a lot of messages from people just
telling him the billboard made their day, which he considers
a major success. This was kind of a bucket list
thing of his, just to get his face on a billboard.
Dave spent over one thousand dollars to put up the
billboard for one month. As for his ideal date, he's
into food, sit down dinner, lunch in the park. As

(01:33:43):
I said, mostly Brian, he just liked the idea of
being on a billboard, thought it would be funny, thought
his friends would get a kick out of it as well.

Speaker 6 (01:33:50):
And he admits the date requests or a nice little bonus.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
Little bonus.

Speaker 19 (01:33:54):
Yeah, I like I said, said, the women are being
forward now, isn't it?

Speaker 30 (01:33:58):
Isn't he the one being forward?

Speaker 4 (01:34:00):
Face on the billboard?

Speaker 19 (01:34:01):
I cat it's good. It's a great story.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
We're going to follow up on that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
Keep us updated.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
Please do yeah, we want to know with the outcome.
Good for you, Dave.

Speaker 10 (01:34:09):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
Dave saw something and an opportunity. And Dave's like, I'm
doing it. I got nothing else going on. I played
video games all day.

Speaker 4 (01:34:19):
I have a cat. Maybe I'm becoming an inseel. I
don't know. It's not very nice, Jad and all joking aside.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
We talked about it earlier, the younger generation and the
issues that are happening, talked about it last hour, how
we are so far apart and the cultural ramifications when
it comes to dating as liberal as women are becoming
far more liberal, especially young women and young men are
becoming more conservative. But on top of that, when it

(01:34:54):
comes to looks, study after study says most women are
attracted to about twenty eighty percent of the population, and
that is a you got to think about that. So
the other eighty percent are doing anything they can. And
Dave's like, I'm doing this. Good for you, Dave, Good

(01:35:15):
for you. Speaking of the younger generation gen Zers dropping
out of the workforce, why.

Speaker 33 (01:35:22):
Well, first and foremost is interesting because it's a worldwide
trend that we're seeing, right, It's one that doesn't that
crosses cultural and geographic boundaries. It's known as gen zs
being neats. That stands for not in education, employment or training.
They don't necessarily kind of adopt or believe in the
hustle culture that we have seen in past generations, not

(01:35:45):
valuing jobs as much or careers, and valuing kind of
free time more so. As I mentioned again, this crosses
cultural boundaries geographic boundaries. It is a worldwide trend. We're
told one in five gen zs are categorized as needs.
That includes in Spain alone about half a million people
or gen zs between the ages of fifteen and twenty five.

(01:36:07):
They're not studying, they're not working, and in the UK
it looks like three million gen z or is not
working and quote unquote not being economically active.

Speaker 4 (01:36:17):
That is not sustainable.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Cause I don't know what the population is of let's
say England, England's population.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
Just take a look at this here on the England population.

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
So England population is about fifty five million, so about
five percent of working age ele eligible people have just decided, nah,
I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:44):
We're just we're just done. Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
That is absolutely not sustainable. No way that is sustainable
and not everybody. You know, It's like when I hear that,
you know, there's X amount of millions of men who
aren't working. They're not working traditional jobs. There are people
out there, and I bet a lot of these people
fall into that category. Some don't, but a lot of
them do. And that category is I'm gonna hustle on

(01:37:13):
the side. I sell a few things on eBay, you know,
I work under the table over here, one or two
day's a week, So they kind of piecemeal together certain things,
but it's based on their need and their timeline for
life that day, if that makes sense.

Speaker 33 (01:37:32):
Unknown though, if there's a correlation, But it's kind of
interesting to note that when we look at gen Z,
psychologists in particular have seen them right now two times
as stress as millennials. A third of them from eighteen
to twenty four suffer from anxiety, depression and a bipolar disorder.
So again not necessarily correlated, but it's interesting this generation
adopting this mentality of not being economically active and then

(01:37:54):
having kind of some of these issues.

Speaker 36 (01:37:56):
Kinda so, Lisia, we don't see a correlation yet.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
You mentioned it's mental health issues, anything else that's contributing
to gen Z adopting this mentality.

Speaker 33 (01:38:04):
So for one, they reject kind of that wholes of
hustle cultures that's associated with millennials, right, and then another
thing that's really important is they really have this sense
of hopelessness when it comes to hitting major milestones when
it comes to buying a house. A house right now
growing twice as fast in terms of price as it
correlates to millennials. And then what money they make. They
make around forty five thousand dollars at the age of
twenty compared to millennials who made around fifty two and

(01:38:27):
that's even with inflation adjusted. So there's that hopelessness that
they don't want to focus in the future. They're just
living in the present. And so we're seeing that maybe
a factor here for gen z ers.

Speaker 4 (01:38:37):
Yeah, I could see that. I could.

Speaker 3 (01:38:41):
But you know what I've always learned is if you
work hard and you hustle, opportunities will come. That's that's it.
So the mental health aspect doesn't get talked about enough.
We've got a group of of we've got a young
population that is struggling mentally. Online maybe has a lot

(01:39:03):
to do with it. Also, we've kind of woosked out
a lot of our population and made everything an issue
and make everything some sort of illness or sickness that.

Speaker 4 (01:39:15):
Is not helping.

Speaker 3 (01:39:17):
Every once in a while you've got to say you
got to buck up. I mean, there's just when you
go and think about I'm gen X. So you look
at gen X, you look at the baby boomers, you
look at the greatest generation.

Speaker 4 (01:39:30):
Look is it just? What is it that has made
them so fragile?

Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
And part of that I think is easy living because
they've got life so good, just like we had life
so good comparatively to the boomers who had life so
good comparatively to the Greatest generation. But somewhere along the
line we've turned everything into some sort of mental illness
and they've become fragile. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Speaker 13 (01:44:00):
No colvid here, no COVID.

Speaker 4 (01:44:01):
Here, what about overeir?

Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
It kills you guys to think that liberals can be
successful when liberals make more money than you because we.

Speaker 4 (01:44:08):
Go to college.

Speaker 21 (01:44:09):
He has been held hostage and been told what to
do by the Russian government for five and a half years.

Speaker 4 (01:44:14):
The brutal ordeal is over.

Speaker 5 (01:44:16):
They're free.

Speaker 22 (01:44:17):
Can you name a single Paris accomplishment or result from
the time that she was elected vice president?

Speaker 4 (01:44:25):
You name a few of her accomplishment I honestly don't
think she has any.

Speaker 19 (01:44:28):
Vulnerable in Tokyo and victorious here in Paris.

Speaker 31 (01:44:34):
Why should black voters trust you after you have used
language like that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such.

Speaker 4 (01:44:44):
A horrible manner, Jesus is going to get you.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
Wow, what a week. That is crazy when you think
about that's just a week, that's it. Hmm, Man, who.

Speaker 4 (01:44:58):
Knows what next week is going to have for us?

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
So I know we're going to get a VEEP candidate
from kamala've been saying, you know, it was always two.

Speaker 4 (01:45:08):
Some people threw themselves in the mix and made some noise.
But Josh Shapiro.

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
Looks like the front runner, partially because you're picking from first.

Speaker 4 (01:45:21):
Of all, and I said this the other day and
some people got mad at me. You need a white dude.

Speaker 3 (01:45:25):
You need a white dude who can balance the ticket
because you're going to come across uber progressive, and you
also need somebody from a swing state. And your choice,
really in that situation is going to be Mark Kelly
of Arizona or Josh Shapiro. You're going to announce it

(01:45:47):
in Philadelphia. Josh Shapiro's canceled all of his events. Pretty
sure it's going to be Josh Shapiro. That's what my
people are saying. Kelly was definitely in the running, and
there could be some craziness because there are people out there,
pro Palestinian people who are doing everything they can to
try to stop Shapiro from being the vice presidential candidate

(01:46:11):
on that ticket because he's.

Speaker 4 (01:46:13):
Jewish, is a Zionist.

Speaker 3 (01:46:16):
He is somebody who's gone after all of the protesters,
been a defender. He's been a critic of Netnyahu, but
a defender of Israel. And so there's a lot of
people out there that don't want that. But you go
too progressive because Americans look these college protests, the average American,

(01:46:41):
they're not liking this they're not liking what they're seeing
and they're not happy with it. So it'll be very
interesting to see how this plays itself out with this
balance to the ticket and does she lose potentially Michigan
because of this.

Speaker 4 (01:46:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:46:57):
Three two, three, five, three eight twenty four three at
Sheadmnton show is your Twitter? A lot of Olympic stuff
this weekend. You've got the track and field starting today,
which will be awesome. Gary Richardson and everybody that we
are stacked this year. I have a feeling we were
going a ton of metals with that, so that'll be
very interesting to watch, which brings us to this at

(01:47:18):
the end of my show, and.

Speaker 14 (01:47:19):
Then I go and spoil it all, I say something stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:47:24):
It will takes stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 30 (01:47:26):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for
because you can never predict.

Speaker 4 (01:47:30):
They're gonna do something incredibly stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
Now you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:47:39):
You should never underestimize the predictability of stupidoting.

Speaker 14 (01:47:44):
Now it's time fall.

Speaker 4 (01:47:48):
Stupid information.

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
Couple silly things to learn about the Olympics. Figure skating
was once part of the Summer Olympics. There was no
Winter Games until nineteen two twenty four. Figure skating was
part of the Summer Olympics because well why not still
do it indoors, right? And the torch relay, which everybody
loves to watch. The torch I remember in nineteen eighty

(01:48:12):
four is a thirteen year old lad going to watch
I was at Marina pacifica mall with my family watching
the torch run by people waving and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
And I was like, Oh, there's a torch. Look at that.
It was invented by the Nazis.

Speaker 3 (01:48:27):
The Nazis used the Torch Relay and subsequent games as propaganda.
Lenny Griefenstahal creating the film's Olympia after the events, but
the durission of moving the Olympic flame from the country
to country until it reached the host nation seemed much older,
but it was actually conceived by Olympian Carl Diim for
the thirty six Games.

Speaker 4 (01:48:47):
Oh geez, now it's not so fun, is it?

Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
