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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Does policy even matter? We know normally the vice presidential
pick matters. Very little evidence has shown that. Study after
study has shown that. Now the latest study said that
Josh Shapiro may have given Vice President Harris a bit

(00:37):
of a boost in Pennsylvania in a state that was
going to be very very close. That might have put
her over the hump and the state where for the
most part they probably have to win to get to
two seventy. But yesterday the debut of Tim Walls to
the world, who is this guy? Folksy, midwestern values coach,

(00:59):
good guy. Hurt a lot of that. Okay, so he's
a nice guy. What are is policies? That's what matters.
What are is policies? What does he stand for? What
does this ticket stand for? If policies are the things
that matter? Choice, open border, Oh, I'll have a hard

(01:22):
pass on that. Higher taxes. I think most people have
a hard pass on that. People are always fine with
higher taxes as long as it's not their taxes. If
you notice that, we can go on and on economy, immigration,
those are probably the two biggest things.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Well, we know where they stand on that.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
So does policy actually matter, because in many cases I
don't think it does.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
But you know what, to hear a lot of this.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I personally feel like the economy is sucking right now.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Less pay, more expenses, Bill's going up, Print's going up.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's pretty big.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I works three jobs just to break even every month,
and I have a master's degree from Colombia.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
The economy is pretty rough.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Everybody is concerned about economic situation.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I certainly am.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
I think the economy, you know, in large poor had
done well.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Our current government has absolutely ruined everything. Can't afford life.

Speaker 8 (02:22):
I make six figures a year, live in the city,
Still can't afford life, can't even afford to go out,
likely used toill.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
You hear a lot of that. Does it matter? Does
policy matter? Or is it just about it being nice?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well, this guy's folksy right, former high school teacher. He's
a good guy, and I'm sure he is.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
By the way, I talked to two governors yesterday via text.
Both of them told me.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Really good guy, sweet guy, fun guy, very nice guy.
Ticks are insane. But does this even matter? I mean,
his policy even matter? Take away tim walls and you know,
I mean he's there to serve a specific reason. He's
there to be the shield. He's there to do the

(03:14):
hard part of interviews and attack dog and to shield
her from having to answer any real questions. He's also
not a threat. If you watched any of that yesterday,
Josh Shapiro and we're going to get to the anti

(03:34):
semitism and that stuff in a little bit was absolutely awesome.
There's a reason that Donald Trump truth out thank you
right after this announcement. There's a reason for that because

(03:56):
that guy's the future of the party. This guy poses
zero threat. He didn't want the gig as far as president.
I mean, everybody says that when you're that close to it, though,
but he where everybody knows.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Shapiro wants to be president.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Everybody understands that guy has an eye on a bigger
prize and would have made a much.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Tougher situation even tougher.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And I say that because in reality, as I sit
here and watch this, the Republicans, in particular, Trump is
fumbling this thing away left right and center.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
We get that a little bit later, but does policy
even matter?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Producer Anthony watching it last night, text me and says,
this guy's folksy very Midwestern. My mother in law, she goes,
he's a really nice guy, very folksy, and I'm like, yeah,
but do you know anything about his policies.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I'm like, no, it's so open borders. Well I didn't
know that.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Let us let his town kind of burn down a
little bit, you know. I mean, he's he's very very
very very very left. And both sides have decided this
is where they're going with everything now, and that leaves
you and I the extreme, you know, the extreme, evil centrist.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Pick a side.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Reality is my side. But I'm frustrated because I don't
think Paulicy even matters. It's just about are you nice?
You a nice guy? Are you swell?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Right?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Ah? Shucks. The left is got this thing on. We've
got this thing on, you know, dial down and on
and on. The tracks moving forward in a way that
the Republicans are struggling with, and partially because you have
Donald Trump, who is not disciplined at all, makes everything personal,

(06:04):
doesn't focus where he needs to. And it's and I
said this three weeks ago, whoever the pick was going
to be? And I said, you know, it's gonna end
up being her. You're not running against her. You're running
against the absolute beast of a machine that the Democrats

(06:27):
will put together between Hollywood, social media, the Democratic Party.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
You have to get through all of that before you
ever get to Harris. Trump isn't doing that. It should
be about policy.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
So I said the other day, if anybody asked you
a question about do you not like black people, you
just say, Look, immigration is rampant, that hurts everybody, black
and white. Unfettered access to this country and people coming
through left, right and center is awful. Inflation is still
too damn high, and there is a chance we could
get drawn in to not one, but two major conflicts

(07:04):
in the coming months.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Those things are the things I'm focused on. But he can't.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's the undisciplined side of him. Policy matters, That's what
it should be. Vivek yesterday on CNN.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
Well, the reality is I'll be the first to admit
the last couple of weeks, Brianna have not been great
for Republicans.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
This gives us the opportunity to reset.

Speaker 8 (07:29):
I think there is a fundamental contradiction in how they're
pitching Walls. On one hand, they're presenting him as a
Midwestern unifier. On the other hand, This is the guy
who just called seventy plus million people in this country
just plain weird.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
The reality is his progressive.

Speaker 8 (07:44):
Policies are going to cause Democrats to lose a lot
of centrist voters. And the reality is if Democrats do
lose this election come November, I think this will be
the moment they look back to as a moment of
soul searching to say they passed over Joshapiro, somebody who
likely could have delivered Pennsylvania because he's Jewish.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
That's going to be a.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Moment for deep soul searching for the Democratic Party come November.
But in the meantime, this is exactly the reset that
Republicans needed, and I think's progressive policy record hopefully refocuses
this presidential race where it should be on policy and
on those merits.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
I think Republicans are going to be.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Successful policy refocus. I've been saying it for a while,
and I've heard from a lot of you get mad
at me because I say something, you know, disparaging against Trump.
It's not.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's just being honest.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
If you don't want the truth and you just want
to be told what you want to be told, I
want to hear my beliefs reinforced by you not going
to do that. Trump is blowing it. The other night, Georgia,
you attack Brian Camp. What the hell was that about
your grievance? Fast? Okay, we're sorry that this is happening,

(08:53):
but you have an election to win, and you focusing
on what took place before and the anger you have
for some people isn't going to help you deliver that
in the long run. Focus on the policy, because your
policies are going to win. I was talking to a

(09:16):
Democrat yesterday, pretty left, and we play pickleball together, and
he always likes to, you know, say stuff, and we're
just we're just chatting and goofing around as we're playing,
and I said, let me ask you a question.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
He said, all right, I'm gonna ask you a couple questions.
I go, do you think.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
We should have wide open borders where we allow just
about anybody in here and people to take advantage of
our system? He goes, well, no, no, he goes, I
think we should have you know, a more welcoming I.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Didn't say that.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I said, do you think we should have what we
have now? Do you think we can absorb x amount
of millions? People every single year and it not affect
our cities and communities. And he goesaid, well no, I said, okay,
I said, do you like the way the economy is
going now?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
And he said no, life's too expensive.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
So I said to him, if we continue with these policies,
we continue to see things like let's go after energy prices,
I mean the energy and fossil fuel world, which will
make things a little bit more expensive, far more regulations
which will make things more expensive.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Do you want to see all of these policies continue
to happen and the expenses to be up and around?

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Here?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Said well, no, I don't want that. And I said,
do you want us to be dragged into more foreign wars?
Or do you want our men and women home and
us protect our allies and stand by our allies. Do
you want to see us bend the knee to the

(10:59):
Irans and the Chinas of the world and Russia? And
he goes, well, I don't want that. I said, well,
there you go. Those are policies that you have right now. Yeah,
but I don't like Trump. I said, it's a personal
thing for you and for a lot of people it is.

(11:21):
We're going to get deeper into that because for a
lot of people, this is in particular when I see
something like it last night Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump the same. No,
it's ridiculous. It's never about policy. This is all personal.
It's personality, personal shots at each other, never about policy.

It's a Chad Benson show.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 9 (13:12):
It is one week exactly since and his ready air
strike took out a top Hesbolah commander in southern Beirut.
The leader of Hezbola Hassa Nasrala saying a response is coming.
He's threatening that very valuable is ready factories up in
northern Israel. Could he boasts be taken out within half
an hour. But he's also being slightly cryptic about whether

(13:34):
or not Hesbola is going to act alone.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, and this remember Iran has to try to figure
out how to save face. You killed a Hamas leader
in our country. You got that close that you know. Again,
We've heard two different things that a bomb was placed
inside of the place he was staying and had been

(13:57):
there for months, or you knew exact actly where he was.
Either way, they were supposed to protect him. It was embarrassing.
People are going, what are you going to do about it?
On the other side of it, they're weighing their options
carefully because they have to show some force. But at
the same time, you don't want something bigger that you

(14:20):
can't handle.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Because as much as in some ways.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Israel wants to not open another front, the reality is
they've been itching for a fight with these guys for
a long time.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
They're sick and tired of the rhetoric. You've talked to
talk Can you walk the walk?

Speaker 2 (14:39):
That's the question that I think some people are asking
over in Israel. Is it time? Have they've gotten too
big for their bridges? They're funding all of this. Essentially,
we're fighting against Iran, against their freelancers.

Speaker 9 (14:55):
I come off the phone to a format Israeli general
and he said, in some ways, Israel hes Blah and
Irana all trying to do the same thing here. They're
retaliating to each other's attacks. They want to put forward
to terrence for future attacks, but they all want to
avoid a wider war. Everyone agrees that is in no

(15:15):
one's interest right now.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
No, you don't want that. But you know something's coming.
How big will it be? We're going to talk to
Mike Lyons, our military expert, a little bit later in
the show, about how big he thinks that can get.
Israel has already occupied north, the South, They've got what's
going on in Gaza three two, three, five, three eight,

(15:39):
twenty four, twenty three. It's your tax line at Chad
Benson Show is your Twitter, you can always feel free
to tweet at me and the Chad Benson Show. You've
got all of these things happening, and then of course
you've got houties. You've got hes Blah and Iran, which
are kind of one and the same, but Iran and

(16:00):
proper is a whole different story. So how do you
work all of that and what could be? You know,
I mean, at what point does somebody go big? And
then what happens here? Ugly interesting civil war in the UK.

Speaker 10 (16:15):
The British government win seeing after Elon Musk said on
social media that civil war is now inevitable in the UK.
Prime Minister Starmer counters.

Speaker 11 (16:24):
Over four hundred people now have been arrested, one hundred
of being charged, some in relation to online activity, and
a number of them are already in court.

Speaker 10 (16:32):
Muscantins the British criminal justice system treats Muslims more leniently
than far right activists. The violence on the streets here
has been going on now for more than a week.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
We've been talking about that this isn't something that took
place in a one off incident. You've got a lot
of people in Britain on the right and the left,
young people who were over what has gone on over
the last decade with just this mass flow of immigrants

(17:04):
coming in from countries who are not interested in being British,
not interested in being English, not interested in assimilating, just
want what goodies you can hand out, and they're feeling
like they're getting pushed aside.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
So this just didn't happen overnight.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
We've got a lot more on this, some woke stuff
coming up as well. Feel free to reach out to us.
Three two three five three eight twenty four, twenty three.
Like said our buddy Mike Lions Military, Ana's going to
join the program later talk about what could happen in
the Middle East and what he thinks will happen.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh Man Pack Show Today. Chad Benson, Joe the.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Chad Benson, Joe, independent Thoughts, independent life.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 12 (18:05):
His running mate shares his dangerous and backward agenda for
this country.

Speaker 13 (18:09):
JD.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Vance literally wrote the foreword for.

Speaker 12 (18:12):
The Architect of the Project twenty twenty five agenda. Like
all regular people I grew up with in the heartland.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
JD studied at Yale.

Speaker 12 (18:19):
Had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then
wrote a best seller trashing that community.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Come on, that's not what Middle America is. And I
gotta tell you, I can't wait to debate the guy.

Speaker 12 (18:34):
That is, if he's willing to get off the couch
and show up.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
So I just went, if you don't know what that's about.
The minute that Vance was chosen, all this stuff came out.
You know, the weird, the weird. This guy started the weird,
and there was some sort of BS story that it's
been debunked by everybody. New York Times watch was that

(18:58):
he had sex with a couch and college and that
was a slap in his face. There.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, he doesn't understand Middle America.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Now, if you guys don't mind, I have to go
put some tampons in the boys bathroom because, as you know,
everybody with a paint it's gonna have a period. What again,
does policy matter? He's a good old guy. Does policy matter?
He's just a good dude. Jad, He's a good guy.
He's folksy. Don't you get folksy. I didn't say he

(19:29):
was a bad guy. Never once did I say he
was a bad guy. I just said I would like
to know more.

Speaker 14 (19:37):
But they shouldn't get too confident with this choice, because
Mike Waltz, yes has a progressive record that they're going
to attack him for the hands down they are going
to But to Jamie's point, she reads like a normy,
uncle dad, white guy in the Midwest, and I think
that he's somebody who can play in those critical swing
states Wisconsin, Michigan, his home state of Minnesota, but also
in Pennsylvania. And then he's boosted by the fact that

(20:00):
a moment for Josh Shapiro knocked it out of the
park at the kickoff of this and made very clear
he's going to be out campaigning for this ticket. So
it's not like it was a net loss that you
didn't get the Shapiro factor.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Well, we're going to talk more about that next hour.
But the whole he's just an aw shucks kind of guy. Ah,
he shucks Janny's you know, he shucks, junny guy. What's
his policy, Well, he's for sanctuary states and sanctuary cities.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'm not. He failed miserably when it came to protecting
his state and cities during the summer of mostly peaceful
protesting five hundred million dollars in damage. Jacob Frey, who
is the or. Fry, who is the mayor.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Said, I asked him for for guard he didn't get
it to me. He's like, he didn't. Nobody he did.
He did ask you, No, he didn't.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Not only are their call records, there's text messages to
back it up, and you felt like, hey, it's about equity, right,
you know, they had kind of a right to do
this because they're angry. They needed to put their displaced
anger somewhere. Well, nothing says social justice like absolutely destroying
a target and stealing a bunch of crap.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's a joke policy. That's why I want to know
about her.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Great, if you've evolved on all of these things, fracking
and the border, and I'm not saying you can't because
as Obama has told you, as many presidents have said, Look,
you have a position, and you get in there and
you see things you've never seen before, and you get
a bird's eye view of something and you're like, well

(21:51):
that changes that. So if you've changed your positions, then
come out and defend your changing And she has it,
and she's not going to until somebody pushes her. And
guess what, the media is never going to do that.
They are never going to do that. And any kind
of of of real discussion that the media is going
to have with this ticket is going to be through

(22:13):
Tim Walls.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Absolutely. Hey, it's Wednesday, it's get woke.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
You know, we have to stay woke.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Like everybody needs to be woke.

Speaker 15 (22:23):
And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker,
but just stay more woke than less woke.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
We have to stay woke.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
You gotta stay woke.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Man.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is she absolutely right on that.

Speaker 16 (22:36):
Buckle up, everybody, it's time to talk about my pronouns.

Speaker 17 (22:39):
When babies are born, the doctor looks at them and
they make a guess.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
About whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

Speaker 18 (22:45):
But sometimes the doctor is wrong.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
She Lucy is a g a.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
They them, they, there was two of them.

Speaker 19 (22:56):
Yesterday I came out of don' let's go rock brocks pronouns.

Speaker 18 (23:01):
That sounds so cool.

Speaker 20 (23:03):
Let me introduce you to our non binary.

Speaker 17 (23:06):
I am non binary and I use say them pronouns,
and my students know this.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
We just came up with new words that fit us better.

Speaker 18 (23:11):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
What if I want to be called sir Elton Johnny.
It's time for woke Wednesday. Yes, indeed, woke Wednesday. People,
Let's get woke. Where do we start? How about non binary?

Speaker 20 (23:25):
I'm non binary. I'm transgender. I was assigned male at birth.
And oftentimes I'll get comms of people being like, oh
my gosh, I thought that you were assigned female at birth.
I thought you were trans mask this whole time. And
I get that you guys are like really trying to
like compliment me and let me know that I like
passway more than I ever suspected. But I think it's

(23:46):
stupid that we think about gender discourse in terms of
AMAB and AFAB because I'm not binary, and I thought
the goal of that was for me to not be
a man or a woman and not be restricted by
those boundaries.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
The beauty of our country, the absolute beauty of our country.
So a person like that exists. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yet even though you don't want them to.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Six, I didn't say that. Number one said that.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
I'm carey nine BiiN Eric if your trans I care
if you push it on kids and vulnerable children who
are suffering in many cases with autism and other emotional things,
and you push stuff like that, I absolutely care about
that one hundred percent, and so should you be. But
why I say it's great is because our world is
so good that your biggest issue is whether or not
you're going to argue with somebody because they misgendered you,

(24:30):
not whether your next meal is coming from. When your
biggest issue in the world is you felt you were
assigned the wrong gender, that's kind of a good place
to be in a weird way.

Speaker 20 (24:40):
Assigned gender at birth kind of gets rid of a
lot of the progress that we've been striving for as
trans people. I mean like I used to care a
lot a lot about passing trust me, like it was
the only important thing in the entire world to me
for a significant period of time. And I think that
a lot of my feelings about it were just boiled

(25:02):
in this deep dislike of the person I was, not
just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
It matters mentally and emotional memory of nine binary. You
were assigned something at birth, but we thought you were female.
Nobody did, and you only have to listen and understand
that that nobody, nobody, nobody did that you were a female.

Speaker 20 (25:22):
And I ended up as this weird little non binary creature.
And I'm very happy with the person that I am.
And I think that it goes back on a lot
of our progress as trans people to reduce me down
to an assigned male at birth person.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Does it reduce you down? I go back to this always,
when is it your responsibility to care about how you
feel about yourself? And when does my responsibility for how
you feel? And isn't it nutty? Well craziness and and tampon.
Tim was trending yesterday and if you don't know what
that is, Tim Walls passed a bill or signed a

(25:58):
bill into law when.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
In January of this year, that is crazy.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
But one of the things inside of it, and again
this is what most Midwestern men think about, is hey, guys,
right after the football game, you get yourself in here
and let's all check and see if we've got ladies
feminine period stuff inside the bathrooms. Because yeah, because that's

(26:28):
what they all think about, right coach three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson shows
your Twitter tweet at us text the program policy. That's
all I'm asking kids, that's all am asking. It's a
policy question. What are the policies of these people? For real?

Road Rage in Texas and California Chad bensa.

Speaker 21 (28:10):
Joe, Welcome to chess che No not the country, the
institution The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (28:24):
A ten pack of nominations for Taylor Swift for this
year's MTV Video Music Awards, making her this year's most
nominated artist. The video for her single Fortnite, scoring eight
nods alone, and she was also nominated for Artists of
the Year and Best Pop Swiss Fortnite collaborator post Malone
in second place with nine nominations. Swift has won twenty
three VMA's during her career. If she wins six this year,

(28:44):
she'll pass Beyonce for the most Moonmen, or maybe she'll
need seven. Beyonce didn't put out a video in the
past year, but she did get a nomination. Her single
Texas Hold Them nominated for Song of the Year.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, and there's no Kanye to be upset run up
there and say that she shouldn't have this award. I
have a feeling, she sweeps. Speaking of music, Florida International
University they got a new sponsor for their football stadium.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to pitt Bull Stadium. Mister three
O five, I saw I came my concorde horse, did

(29:19):
I say, I saw I come?

Speaker 10 (29:20):
And I came?

Speaker 4 (29:21):
You said, do what you go on five.

Speaker 18 (29:22):
He know that, y'all said, But he's running a game now,
baby Van.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Mister three oh five, So check this out. It's the
first stadium to be named after a musician. It's in Miami.
He came from right around there. Talks about how important
this is to him, how he built himself up, how
much he loves the city. It's part of the deal.

(29:52):
It's one point two million years, about six million bucks.
He's gonna get use of the stadium ten days per
year throughout the term of the deal, and the vodka
company he owns will be the preferred brand distributed in
the stadium. There's also perks like two reserved suites for
all home games. It holds about twenty thousand people. So

(30:13):
mister three to zero five, you know what I'm talking boot.
Road rage is up? Did you guys know that it's up? Up? Up?

Speaker 23 (30:22):
It isn't just about a rude gesture or the blast
of a car horn. In the past decade, road rage
shooting surged from ninety two and twenty fourteen to four
hundred and eighty one last year. Data from the nonprofit
Gun Violence Archives suggests that some of the most hot
headed drivers are in the South, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Virginia
the most polite the Midwest.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Now this on the heels of two incidents that took
place yesterday. Are you guys ready for these? By the way,
the number one state, we'll get to that in a
little bit, but this is one of the places that's
number one. Now we're going to go back and forth
between the reports of both states.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Let's start first in Dallas.

Speaker 22 (31:04):
PAOs on six point thirty five at Forest Lane, when
Dallas police belief started as a multi collision crash ended violently.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
The really bizarre set of events here.

Speaker 16 (31:14):
It all started around seventy yet when Dallas Fire and
police were called to respond to a multi vehicle accident
when the suspect driver began fighting another driver involved, but
it didn't stop there. Video circling around on social media
showed this aspect continuing to get violent. Another driver tried
to stop the fight, but was stabbed by the suspect.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay, so we got a stabbing in Dallas. I repeat,
we got a stabbing in Dallas because of our road
rate incident. Quick over to California.

Speaker 24 (31:41):
West Hollywood Sheriff's deputies swarm around the scene of what
appears to be a case of deadly road rage. Authorities
tell us two vehicles collided in the parking lot of
a strip mall along Santa Monica Boulevard Tuesday afternoon. One
man was driving a white pickup truck described as a
Solar Handle company vehicle. Another man was behind the wheel

(32:03):
of an older model minivan. Witnesses say both drivers were
middle aged in their forties, possibly early fifties. They jumped
out of their vehicles and got into an argument.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
As grown men tend to do when there's heat and
rage back to Dallas.

Speaker 16 (32:20):
Then a text out employee saw what happened. They stopped
to assist instead. This aspect then got inside the text
at workers vehicle and hit the employee with the car.
When another driver saw the text out employee get hit,
they stopped to provide aid when this aspect once again
took hold of their car and hit that driver too.
It was at that point several Good Samaritans were able

(32:42):
to charge and hold this aspect down until police arrived.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
So that guy got in a bunch of people's cars.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Wasn't just his cars, He's running people over and smashing
into Back to California. So they were facing off, and
then the larger guy.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Just popped them, just knocked the light in the face.
I mean cocked him, but it didn't look like it
was a punch that would kill someone. I was getting
some food from the Mexican food restaurant and then I
came out and this guy just cold cocked this guy
in the face and the guy went down and hit
his head. And then when I walked by, the guy
was holding the guy's hand with his head just like

(33:17):
dangling off the ground. And I'm like like a doll,
like a rag doll, rag doll, And I was like,
what the And I heard the guy say.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
He got my face.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
I punched him. He only punched him one time, and
he killed him.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
And I'm just like in shock. He's just like in shock.
By the way, he is everything that you would if
you were to go and say I need somebody from
nineteen nineties that looks like they were going to see
a smash Mouth concert, and they're like, we got a guy.
He's got yellow Oakley blades, flat hat, wife beaterter shirt spectacular.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
We'll get back to him in a second. Quick over
to Dallas.

Speaker 16 (33:52):
We spoke to one way this who can be seen
driving a white Honda by the scene.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
I mean I was shaking.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
I mean, when I was calling nine one, my voice
was shaking because I was thinking, like I'm I'm watching
someone try to kill another person. Like it's a terrifying
Tuesday morning. People can get angry, but like, I mean,
that was evil.

Speaker 16 (34:11):
The suspect was arrested and charges our pending. We're still
waiting on identification from police at last check. He was
taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yes, so stabbing people smashing into each other anger road
rage in Texas back over to California, and if this
witness could make it about himself, he will.

Speaker 24 (34:31):
Paramedics arrived and took both men to the hospital to
treat their injuries, but only one would survive. The man
who collapsed in the parking lot was later pronounced dead.
He may have suffered significant head trauma, but that part
of the investigation is still unclear.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, just one punch.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
You just never know. That's why I'm like, damn, I'm
gonna keep my mouth shut. You know, why can't we
just all get along?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Good?

Speaker 7 (35:00):
Dad's done right now from cancer. It's just like he's
fighting for his life. In this Dude, he played an
expect to die today.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
This is horrible. Yeah, he probably didn't expect to die today.
So road rage incident is California, by the way, is
number one with road rage incidents. It's a one hundred
out of one hundred according to the study they've done,
one hundred out of one hundred.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
California tops them all.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Duh insane three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three At Chad Benson Show, it's your Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things right here on
the Chad Benson Show, our number two. A lot of
stuff still to get to more on. Does it matter
when it comes to your vice presidential pick? It's jd

(35:53):
Vance moving the needle negatively positively. Did the Democrats make
a mistake or was this the right pick? Because there's
no evidence to show that it actually does anything. Although
according to the latest data, they're saying, yeah, you know what,
Shapiro may have moved the needle enough in a state

(36:15):
that they need to get them over the hump for
the Democrats. We talk about that a lot of other
stuff to get do more woke things as well.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life,

(36:53):

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Is there an anti Semitic problem when it comes to
the likes of the Democratic Party. If yesterday the choice
was between a Jewish candidate and somebody else for the
vice presidential nomination for Donald Trump, and they went with
somebody else, it would have been anti Semitism, anti semitism,

(37:19):
anti semitism. There was lots of work done behind the
scenes to make sure that Josh Shapiro was not going
to be it. Well, he's a Jew. Can't have a
Jew on the ticket, especially now with all the stuff
going on with Palestine. By the way, Tim Walls has

(37:40):
been far more fervent in his support of the likes
of Israel comparatively to Josh Shapiro. Josh Shapiro has been
very stern and hard against the protesters and the way
they've acted, but in reality he's been kind of mild,

(38:05):
and in fact, I saw Michael Rappaport say, this is
what happens when you try to did you yourself, you
lose out. But there is definitely an issue inside of
the party that needs to be addressed.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
People don't want to talk about it, we got to
talk about it. On the one hand, you have a
lot of young people who are concerned about Gaza. You
have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others. They
have not felt seen by the Biden administration. Genocide Joe,
that was a building and so those folks needed to
have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with. This
helps him in that regard. But you also have anti

(38:39):
Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party. You can
be for the Palestinians without being an anti Jewish bigot,
but there are some anti Jewish bigots out there, and
there's some disquiet now and there has to be how
much of what just happened is caving into some of
these darker parts in the party big time?

Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think that's very real. And if you listened to
Jos Shapiro last night, and there was a lot there.
It wasn't just the uber progressive, anti Semitic, pro Palestine
side of it. There was some of that. And those
out there on the left too say there was none
of that. You were fooling yourselves. That being said, he

(39:26):
is the future of the party. He is absolutely my
uncle who is a staunch Maga guy goes, I really
like him, said, I like him too.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
I think he is.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Very much what you would consider a centrist populace. He
is not a big fan of the unions. That's what
hurt him a lot too. But he is for pro
and drilling and drill, baby drill. He is definitely somebody
who comes that stuff with a realistic thing is, Hey,

(40:00):
we can be cool to pride, but yeah, maybe not
so much forcing it on the kids. Hey, if you're
going to go to college and you decide to break
the college, all the hell you're gonna be held accountable
for that. It's kind of this common sense thing. But
he's young, he's got it. The dude was also a threat,

(40:22):
let's be real, because a lot of people were thinking, oh, oh,
the opening act may be better, and last night he
was a hell of an opening act.

Speaker 13 (40:31):
Started here in our taverns and our town squares and
an independence hall just a couple miles from here, nearly
two and a half centuries ago. You see, they came together.
They came together to declare our independence from a king,
and we're not going back to a king. Octavius kind

(40:54):
of understood that responsibility cecil be more understood that responsibility.
Gen Z when they're organizing on TikTok, understand that responsibility.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
He was great. He was also a threat because you
hear stories all the time of rock bands and apparently Aerosmith,
who just retired, was famous for this. I was watching
a thing the other day where I think it was
Kansas the thirty eight Special dating ourselves here that at
that time was kind of like they were the absolutely

(41:32):
at the zenith of their careers. They were rocket and
rolling like never four. They had two or three hits
on the charts. Aerosmith was a big band, but they
have any hits for a while. But they were headlining
a tour and you know, thirty eight Special, Kansas were
going with them to kind of you know, as this
up and coming.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Band, but they were killing it.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
And they had heard stories about how Steven Tyler would
get mad if the opening act was bad, I mean
was better than than them, so he would have a
tendency to go mess with their equipment, even unplug it
because he didn't want them to outshine them. And that

(42:12):
was the worry too on this ticket, that he was
going to outshine her, which is always a possibility where
people are going around it. Rather have that guy, rather
have that guy. So there's a lot that went into
this pick. Does it matter? I don't think it matters.
It's empirically it's never mattered. Although latest data says yas

(42:34):
a possibility that he could have helped potentially with a
half a percent to one percent in Pennsylvania, and when
you look at the numbers and how close it is,
that could be a huge win because without Pennsylvania, it's
going to be tough for them to get to two seventy.

(42:54):
But they have an issue, There's no doubt about that.
They absolutely have an issue when it comes to a
certain portion of this.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Democratic, progressive.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Group of voters make noise are very angry and are
willing to let everybody know it in such a way
that it is not good.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
And yes, they're anti Semitic.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
They view Israel as colonialists, they're apartheid state, and if
you're Jew, unless you damn Israel, you're screwed. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad menton show,
is your Twitter, your Instagram, a lot of other stuff.
It's about policy, people.

Speaker 8 (43:42):
Look what I believe is if you could airlift the
most assailable thing that someone has said from either side.
You're going to find a lot worse from Kamala Harriser
Joe Biden. But the reality is you said this, and
I agree with you. If this comes down to immigration
and the economy, that's where this election lands. Then I
think when it comes to a policy record and a
policy vision, Donald Trump and Jadvans have the undoubted advantage,

(44:05):
especially after choosing Waltz today. He's somebody who's talked about
even building a ladder over the border wall. When you
think about what that means for Americans today, you see
rampant crimes spreading across this country. We don't want to
see a repeat of what happened in Minneapolis and Saint
Paul in the summer of twenty twenty under Waltz as
a governor in cities across this country. That's not what

(44:27):
we want from the vice president of the President of
the United States.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Keep it on policy, which is hard. That's why I
say some of you chirped, and why do you always
pick on Trump?

Speaker 3 (44:36):
I don't. If you want the truth, I'm going to
tell it to you.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
If you want somebody who's going to reassure you and
tell you that everything is going to be okay and
that this is going to be an easy win. I'm
not going to do that. I'll say it over and
over again. I believe the policies that Trump and Vance
and the Republicans want are better for our count Do

(45:02):
I think they can pull it off? Do I think
they can sell it to the American people? No? I
don't at times, and I get frustrated because it becomes
more about him and less about the policies. If you
stick to the policies, you win. It's that simple. Stick
to the policies, you win. Wander away from the policies,

(45:24):
make it about grievances and anger at people that wronged you.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
That isn't going to help.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
You've got a big enough fight right now where you
have to take on the media and everybody else. Make
it about the policies.

Speaker 17 (45:40):
This is a gamble. I do think it is a gamble.
She didn't pick the quote unquote save choice. A lot
of the right wing reaction is that this was a
bad pick. Only time will tell. There's just no way
to say immediately in the moment. It could be brilliant. Honestly,
it could cement that theory of victory for where she goes.
I am telling Republicans, though, do not underestimate these people,

(46:02):
because I just think every choice that they have made
in the last sixteen days, from you know, not agreen
day interviews, to disavowing everything, to running basically on nothing
except I'm not Trump and I'm not Joe Biden. I
hate to say that, it is it's the very viable path.

Speaker 18 (46:19):
The Poles kept saying generic democrats beat.

Speaker 17 (46:21):
Trump, and they went and found that's true.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Very much true. Generic can beat Trump if he doesn't
push policies, it's going to happen. And people do not
want to hear that, but you better hear it. I
saw energy in that crowd last night. I saw people

(46:46):
that are excited because they were so down on Biden.
Stick to policy, make it about immigration, inflation, the economy,
and wars go from there.

Speaker 8 (47:02):
So my advice to Republicans is this, we have to
focus on our own vision. I think it is a
trap we can fall into to just criticize the other side.
My message to the Republican Party has been for a
little bit, forget about the other side and offer our
own vision for the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
And if we do that.

Speaker 8 (47:18):
I think we're in now in as strong of a
position as we've been. Thankfully for Republicans, Kamala Harris didn't
select Joshapiro, she went the other way. This provides an
opening that resets the race after admittedly a rough couple
of weeks for Republicans. I'll be the first admit that
this now actually gives us the reset we needed, and
I think this is going to shake up the race
in the next couple of months.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
I agree one hundred percent. And when you're doing that,
and we'll get into this a little bit later, do
it with the smile on your face. One of the
things I've heard from so many people is they're energetic
and they have smiles on their faces.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
They don't seem angry.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I agree, it's easy to scare the other side, but
you got to put positive spins on some stuff. This
is just me.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Some of you will disagree, well, I'm angry because of this.
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
You can be angry, but at the same time, if
you're not offering some hope other than if you don't
vote for me, the world's going to an end. That
was the big problem over there with the likes of Biden.
Everybody is the world's coming to an end. If you
don't vote for me. Make it about policy. Talk about
how good things are going to be. Talk about where

(48:31):
we're coming from. Give a positive spin. It's going to
go a lot further. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Don't go anywhere, kids, Chad, bensa joe.

Speaker 6 (49:48):
You're listening to.

Speaker 25 (49:49):
Peoples coming have a right to be safe, and yet
we've seen Muslim communities targeted, attacks on mosques, other minority
communities sing Nazi salutes in the street. I wouldn't shy
away from calling it what it is, far right.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Thuggery, thuggery. Kirstahmer there, who is the Prime Minister of Britain.
What's going on in the UK is brutal. We talked
about it yesterday. Some of you have chimed in and
have said, yeah, this is a culture clash, and it
absolutely is a culture clash. This is a clash of
Western culture versus the culture. You find in a lot

(50:32):
of places where these immigrants are coming from. They do
not want to be part of whatever country they're finding
some safe harbor. They do not want to assimilate, They
don't want to do any of those things, which is
a shame. And I think you know as it's not
about and I've said this over and again, it's not

(50:55):
about getting rid of your culture. It's not keep your culture,
but you become part of the culture you're going to
you went there for a reason. And in reality, most
of these people are just going there because there's a
better opportunity. They're gonna give me a bunch of stuff.
I don't really have to do anything, and I don't
have to assimilate, and I'm not going to assimilate. And

(51:17):
that's what you're finding. You're finding in Britain right now.
Horrific battle going on because for those of you who
don't know, Britain is their GDP. So let's just throw
it out there. You look at London. I lived in
London for a while. I love London. Super expensive. Outside

(51:38):
of there, their GDP for the most part is they'd
be like the forty eighth state just above, like West
Virginia and Mississippi.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
It's not a rich place.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
People are feeling like they're being left behind by the
last two governments, Labor and Tory. That's the Labor is
the left, toris of the right that the Conservatives and
the Liberals have just allowed mass immigration to go unchecked
and unfettered, and you've got groups of people that have
come there, and you've got this chaos, and you've got
a bunch of people who are sitting around going They're

(52:16):
getting all this stuff and we're getting nothing. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's
show is your Twitter and your Instagram. We're being left behind.
We're having to fight for jobs and we're losing out,
and they're pissed and they're frustrated.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
I still think there's a lot of ugliness to go on.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
We're gonna talk a little bit more about this because
I want to talk about how blessed we are in
this country for our freedom of speech comparatively to Britain.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
A lot of other stuff to get to woke stuff,
and yes, some Olympic stuff.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
But if you didn't hear yesterday, there was an arrest
when it came to an assassination plot against Trump.

Speaker 26 (53:00):
His name is a Sief Merchant, and he entered the
United States, according to federal prosecutors in Brooklyn in April.
And while he was here in the United States, he
made phone calls trying to hire hitmen to carry out
his alleged scheme to assassinate government officials on US soil.
The criminal complaint is not mentioned former President Trump by name,

(53:22):
but multiple sources familiar with this case say one of
the intended targets was former President Trump. The hitmen that
Asief Merchant allegedly contacted ended up being confidential sources of
the FBI, So there was never any real danger here
because it seems the Feds were onto this man from

(53:44):
the start. They followed him for several months and arrested
him July twelfth, just before he was about to board
a flight and leave the country, which.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Was also the day before that crooks guy shot at
Trump in Pennsylvania had nothing to do with it, but
still crazy. Who'd want to be a politician in today's
world with nutjobs, lunatics, lone wolves, and then you've got
states like Iran who would love to have you dead. No,
thank you. Got some Olympic stuff coming up, a lot

(54:14):
of other good stuff as well, right.

Speaker 3 (54:17):

Is it?

Speaker 3 (54:50):
A possibility. Joining us now is the man.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Who knows, tired major guy who knows everything about the military.
We turned to him. He's our experts, Mike clients, Mike,
I tell you what, man, Let's first start with Iran
and what the hell is going on over there, because
I feel like this is far more than what happened
a few months ago, where Iran is going to fire

(55:13):
back some stuff to show you know, hey, look, you know,
don't messle with us. I feel like this is at
a tipping point into place we haven't been in a
long time.

Speaker 18 (55:20):
Well, the fact that they haven't done anything yet is
telling me that they're at least getting smarter. Right, Israel
has had the advantage really since its inception, since nineteen
forty eight, of an enemy that's not been creative. Well, whoever,
the enemy has not been creative, not been synchronized, not
been on the same page. You know, multiple times in
history had these Arab countries decided to get on the

(55:40):
same page, and they could have created a lot more
damage this time. Given what happened back in April, given
the fact that the Irans were embarrassed. I mean, when
you think about it, they threw the kitchen sink at Israel.
Over three hundred missiles, drones, rock, it's all kinds of things,
and ninety nine percent of them were intercepted, even though
they tipped it off. I mean, it's still miraculous that

(56:02):
that happened. It's an embarrassment for the Iranian military capability.
So this time it looks like they are being more measured.
Perhaps they'll do something in phases, and you know what
by by spending this kind of time, by basically telegraphing
it two or three days ago, the economic forces are
acting on Israel now right, the countries on high alert,
people are not working, so I don't know, maybe maybe

(56:23):
the Iranians are calculating, find trying to figure out what
the target is going to be given the fact, you know,
the fact that they had this Hamas leader executed on
Iranian soils, you know, shows that they can't even keep
their guests safe. But I do agree with you that
we're getting to the point where Iran's going to decide
whether they're going to escalate or not. Because one more point,

(56:44):
if Israel does get hit and they're civilians killed, we
know Israel's deterrence is disproportionate. Response, And so who knows
what Israel do going back this time. They might not
just send missiles to that nuclear site, and in Saja,
they might actually send missiles and destroy it.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Well, see what happens, you know you talk about you know,
because I said the other day when I saw this happening,
this was as much about a message to Iran Israel
as we all know. I mean, go back through time,
whether you know they were hunting Nazis back in the
day in South America. They will come and find you.
I wass tell everybody Black September. It may not be tomorrow,

(57:21):
but they will find you and they will come for you.
And this felt like a message that, hey, Ron, we
know your tentacles are everywhere, but that being said, at
any moment in time, even in your own house, we
can get you.

Speaker 18 (57:33):
Yeah, and think about that two months ago they set
this explosive device there. They obviously have insiders inside Iran.
It shows you that that government is not you know,
have its p's and q's all covered, knowing that it
would be used as a guest house for one of
these kinds of leaders. So if something does happen, let's say,

(57:55):
things do escalate, you might see more of a revolution.
There's no question Israel would like to see gene change
in Iran, and as they continue to go towards a
nuclear path, at some point there might be a military
response to do that. In fact, you know, our administration
has not helped out whatsoever Israel in this regard. We
still are trying to appease Iran. We've been doing it

(58:16):
for forty plus years. We've been doing it since the revolution.
And now look who was in the area. You have
the USS coal in the area there. What would happen
if one of these missiles, a hooty missile or some
kind of missile hit the coal or something. And as
opposed to where they were trying to defend Israel, what
would the United States do? What's our deterrence against Iran?
I'm not sure it's anything right now. The Uranians will
do anything against us, and that just shows you how weak, frankly,

(58:39):
we are against that government.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Talking to my clients military analysts, Mike, you know what's interesting,
We're just talking about the whole thing with how they
bomb this guy. There had to be help from the inside.
Are they trying to figure out how this bomb or
whatever got in there? Because it wasn't like somebody from
Israel snuck over there. They've got to have some people
on the inside working because I'm sure there are back
channels where people like see regime change as well.

Speaker 18 (59:02):
Yeah, I mean for sure that. And what the Ranians
do when when this kind of situation happens is they
just go back and start murdering anybody that was involved.
If you if you were a repairman in the last
you know, three months there, you know, repairing a pipe
in that house, you're probably dead by now, and so
is your family members at this point. You know, that's
how they roll there. But no question there's inside uh

(59:25):
information that the Israelis are working in and that's taken
years to nurture those relationships. And this is why you
know to your point that you know time is on
their side. They have the same patience of job to
make sure that they're going to get to you. They're
going to hunt you down. This is what they're doing.
They're also this decapitation strategy continues to work as they've
gone after heads Blah leaders in Lebanon. We saw that,

(59:46):
some in be Root, we saw and and they continue
they killed the Hamas leader recently down in Gaza too.
It's the it's the way to go, given the fact
that this you know, this enemy they're fighting is now
looking to do probably more of an insurgency now as
they kind of try to peel back into the society
that they have. But yeah, Israel, it's not stopping until

(01:00:07):
they find somebody that stands up and says we surrender.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
You talked about the US coal being there, You talked
about our role, which has been at.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Best very placid. What would happen?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
You know, I was thinking about this the other day.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
We saw some attacks on our bases. What kind of injuries?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
We don't know. They've been attacking our ships and bases
for months now and we really don't hear anything about it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
But should they do damage? Is do we have a.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Response or are we just going to go We don't
want to escalate, so we're not going to do anything
because I feel like we've been trying that and it
ain't working.

Speaker 17 (01:00:46):
No.

Speaker 18 (01:00:46):
I agree, and the scenario here that I think is
a nightmare for us. And if I don't want to give
advice and counsel to my enemies, but in order to
attack Israel right now, what you have to do is
overwhelm the air defense systems that are in depth and
are synchronized with US and allied forces there. And what
you can do is you can have your proxies try

(01:01:07):
to take out the US layer of that. So if
the Houthi's decided to launch multiple missiles at US destroyers
and even the carriers in all directions, the ones in
the Persian Gulf as one, as well as the ones
we have two destroyers in the in the med right now,
they're going to have to defend themselves first, and it'll
take away capability from defending Israel, which is what they're doing,

(01:01:30):
and then perhaps they could sneak through.

Speaker 10 (01:01:32):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (01:01:32):
But what happens if one of those missiles hits one
of those destroyers. I can tell you that it's been close.
They've had a couple of close calls with some of
those hoothy rockets. What would we do? I mean, knowing
full well that it's Iran that's got their fingerprints on it,
would we You know, this is where we've got to
come up with a new level of deterns. I don't
know what you call it. I I have something called
like what I called the duck roll like looks like

(01:01:53):
a duck, quacks like a duck, talk like like well,
you know, the bottom line is the Houthis are acting
like the Iranians. So so as far as we're concerned,
the Iranians have pulled the trigger on that. If they
hit a US carrier, there hit a US destroyer. So
you know, I say we retaliate inside of Iran because
they're the ones that are responsible. That's the only deterrence
that that's going to keep Iran from possibly being involved
with something like this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Talking to Mike Lions, military analyst, yesterday there was an
era or was announced there was an arrest of a
Pakistani man who looks like he was working on behalf
of Iran to try to assassinate some leaders, including potentially
former President Trump. I've thought this, what if somebody from
Iran was able, through their government and everything to perpetrate

(01:02:37):
such a thing. Do we have any kind of answer
back to them? Because it is an interesting question, and
it's a horrible question to think about, But the reality
isn't a dangerous time like this you would have to
think about what would be our answer.

Speaker 18 (01:02:49):
No, it's a great point. I you know, I had
been fearful before when the president got shot. I had talked,
you know, not not necessarily on the air, but it
said that, you know, it's been a long time since
we had political assassinations in our country, and if if
we don't keep paying attention to both sides, you know,
the Trump supporters in particular, perhaps you know, the next

(01:03:10):
time they come to Washington, they're not going to bring
Trump flags, They'll bring something else. And not accusing them
of things one way or the other either, But the
bottom line is the red hot the rhetoric that's taking
place when when you have what what the Democrats have
been saying about Donald Trump, it wasn't didn't surprise me
that someone's taking a pot shot at him, So I think,

(01:03:31):
and then now you take that a step further. We've
used a capitation strategy political assassinations overseas all the time.
So what's to keep our enemies from doing the same thing?
So what would our response be? I think I think
we'd circle the wagons. Unfortunately, as we're seeing our insiders
do right now, not a lot of information coming out
about the Trump attempted assassination. But what would our response be?

(01:03:53):
It's a great it's a great question militarily. I think
the problem is we we think we own the whole thing.
We think we'd have regime change. I just assume see
regime change in Iran and let the country burn. Same
thing in Gaza. If the gods and leaders can't, if
the Policitian leaders don't recognize what they're doing to their people, well,
and frankly, there's no hope for them at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
No, no, I agree, speaking of regime change or whatever,
let's jump over really quick to Ukraine. It is ugly still,
it is nasty. It is forgotten because there is no colonization,
angry college kids marching in the streets talking about it.
But it is still going on, and it is nastier

(01:04:34):
than it's ever been. And I feel like it's the
forgotten war that is ready to bubble up into something
way worse than what we're seeing at times in the
Middle East.

Speaker 18 (01:04:43):
Yeah, Chad, we have talked about this. It's World War
One all over again, one hundred years later, one hundred
and twenty years later. Okay, you got the Russia basically
on an offense for ten months, but virtually limited territorial gain,
so their military can't accomplass their objectives. They're not vanquishing
Kiev anytime soon. They're not going that direct the the
Ukraine has relied on this passive defense as they use

(01:05:05):
economy of scale and moving troops around as they try
to exhaust There's Russian forces that are launching these counter offensive.
But but the bottom line is the slow pace is
still you know, kind of edging away at what Ukraine
is trying to do. I think I think that you know,
we're going to introduce step sixteens now from Ukraine side.

(01:05:25):
Like like World War One, someone's going to have to
come in on one side or the other in order
to tip the balance. And World War One it was
the United States. It came on the side of the
Allies against the Axis forces. What's going to happen here
is potentially if somebody comes to help, could help Russia.
You could have the North Koreans provide them more more subsistence,
even the Chinese or so. But the bottom line is

(01:05:45):
the stalemate's going to take place. I think for a
very long time, Russia could possibly focus on the central
Domebass region, you know, try to cut a knife in
between the two errors they hold. But I don't think
there's going to be any peaceful revolution resolution any time soon.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
If you are the Pooter, if you are she, if
you are any of the people in Gaza that are
you know, working with Hamas. You're looking at our political
world right now, what's your hope in this election?

Speaker 18 (01:06:17):
Are your hope is not Donald Trump? Your hope is
you know, Trump will at least try to get Ukraine
to stop the fighting and try to get both sides
to stop. You know, in the case of this, different
than the Middle East where that enemy is you know,
not as sophisticated. You know, Russia remains a sophisticated power.

(01:06:37):
It's got nuclear weapons and but but I think Donald
Trump will try to do that. What that means Ukraine
would have to give concessions that they're not willing to
do right now. If you're the other, if you if
you want the other administration, I guess it's Harrison and
Walts's guy, you know, who knows. Who knows what they
would do, Probably not a lot of anything. I don't
think they believe in anything. Frankly, I'm not sure what

(01:06:57):
they believe in from a military perspective and what they
think natural security is. The bottom line is Donald Trump
will act in our country's best interest, which is what
our allies want us to do in our country's best
interest right now. I was to try to stop the
fighting there at least and get both sides to agree
that they're not going to go much further.

text the program great. Talking to Mike Lions interesting talking

(01:12:24):
about how this administration has been pretty feckless, the fact
that our people are being fired on all the time,
and the what if scenario if they hit one of
our ships, they kill one of our people. Questions that
aren't being asked the way they should be asked, because
what would this administration do? I don't know if they
do anything. I know we don't want to escalate the situation.

(01:12:47):
I think we all understand we do not want to
escalate the situation. That being said, doing nothing would probably
escalate the situation as well.

(01:13:32):

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
He is America's dad.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Apparently the Midwestern values that he brings to the rest
of the country. Of course, we're talking about the new
vice presidential candidate that's going to be running with Kamala Harris,
who nobody talks to anymore because she doesn't talk to
anybody else.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
She talks at them.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Joining us now is a guy's got his a finger
on the pulse in politics. Jim Kennedy Kennedy iss Whed
of Public Policy Research. Jim, he's America's dad. I heard
last night. He's likable, he's folks. I heard a lot
of those things. I never heard one thing about policy.

Speaker 29 (01:14:05):
Well, probably not, because I don't think that's really what
they want to talk about with him. He's also known
as everybody's uncle, or he could be referred to as
coach by many people too, for as many years coaching
football in Minnesota. But no, I don't think they really
want to talk about a lot of his policies because
they need to move camm A law back to the
middle and he doesn't do it. Because he was a
guy who believed in Midwestern socialism. Means that during the

(01:14:29):
COVID pandemic, he set up a hotline so that if
your neighbor shows up with a friend and they don't
have their masks on, you can rack them out to
the government. Or if you go out walking your dog
and you're not supposed to during COVID, you could get
ratted out to the government and find for it. Along
with the fact that he likes to take away the

(01:14:49):
children from parents who don't believe in gender affirming care
for their fourteen year old. So those are not policies
that you might play well in California, but they don't
play well in probably about forty seven forty eight of
the other states in America.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Yeah, that's you know, I keep hearing he's got these
Midwestern values and I'm like, I'm trying to figure out
what those are because those sound like Berkeley values. The Hey,
let's put and and look, how much does this matter
in the long run? Well, I think it's gonna matter
more because I think she He's gonna do more attacking
and more interviews than any other vice presidential candidate.

Speaker 3 (01:15:23):
Both of these guys are in the history of America.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
This is gonna be it because jd Vance has already
his own tax dog, tax dog. He also gets social
media and people want to talk to him because you
know that figure he's gonna say something wacky, and this
guy is gonna be running cover, so Kamala doesn't have
to answer any questions. That being said, when I listen
to his policies and I look at what he says,

(01:15:48):
I don't feel like that's Minnesota. I feel like it's
a wolf in Sheef's clothing. Of Hey, I'm a nice guy.
If you you guys aren't paying attention, I'm fine with
opening the hell out of the borders. I'm fine with
this kind of wacky let crime run a little bit
free as we saw. I'm fine with, you know, the
gender firming care and experimenting on your kids and let's

(01:16:11):
put tampons in you know, boys' restrooms. I'm fine with
a lot of stuff that you would really kind of
say is all about the far left.

Speaker 29 (01:16:20):
Yeah, it's basically as as they've tried to find Kamala.
It is what you'd call San Francisco liberal policies. And
he fits right in with Kamala on that. When it
comes out again, Yeah, he wanted. He was fine letting
the George Floyd protesters burn Minneapolis in twenty twenty, and
to the point where he literally thought it would calm
them down if they let if he basically relinquished the

(01:16:42):
third the third precinct a police station to them to
let them burn the police station down, thinking that would
calm them down a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Truly, that didn't.

Speaker 29 (01:16:50):
Clearly that didn't work, but that was one of his policies.
They did, and then you had a great hand and
you know, he and Hill or or he he Kamala
worked well together because he lets them burn it down
than Kamala was in. They're bailing them all out if
they did happen to get arrested. So they're just a
great one too. And it comes to fighting crime in Minnesota.
So yeah, but that's kind of the stuff they don't
want to talk about because yeah, they do want to
make them you know, a folksy midwesterner who you know

(01:17:13):
is is you know, everybody's favorite person, who's everybody's uncle,
and that you should all vote for him, that he's
going to bring this party back, that he's going to
bring the race back to the center, and just don't
see that in time, and I don't think it's going
to do well. I think a great debate will be
coming between him and mister Vance. As you said, that
should certainly be entertaining between the two because they are

(01:17:35):
two people that are going to be speaking up a lot,
and they are pretty good at talking to each other
or talking to people. Walt's being a former school teacher,
is you know, used to getting people's attention and keeping
it even for younger student from what I understand, so he,
you know, he's pretty good at at keeping a crowd.
And I think they'll be pretty interesting when it comes
to debate, and they will be the attack dogs going

(01:17:57):
forward in the campaign because they don't dare let cam Kama,
let's speak without a script, because it usually goes off
the rails.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
That's no reason to man. And I keep telling everybody,
if not broke right now, don't fix it right don't
put yourself in a position where she could go off
script and go oh yeah, yeah, Now I remember why
they hit her for so long. Talking to Jim Kennedy
Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, you know, look, by
all accounts, he seems to be a really good guy.

(01:18:25):
I talked to a couple of governors yesterday, both Republicans
both said, Hey, this guy is he is the nicest guy.
I don't agree with his politics, but He is the
nicest guy that you're going to meet in politics, and
he's very genuine. You know, I look at him and
I think, Okay, is it really gonna matter. I don't
think it's really going to matter too much. He's going

(01:18:46):
to be more of the attack dog. My issue with
all that's going on, Jim is the fact that I
feel that Donald Trump is doing everything in his power
at this moment in time to not win this race.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
And a lot of people get pissed to me for
saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
He goes out there and I'm sure you saw it
Saturday night in Georgia, a swing state, and destroys the
guy who's endorsed him, who's the governor of the state.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
I don't know how that helps you in this situation.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
And it boggles my mind that you have everything in
front of you and you can't stick to your script,
which is economy, immigration, foreign wars. Yeah.

Speaker 29 (01:19:24):
Well, you know, first of all, you know, the best
Donald Trump had been was the nine days after the
debate when he went out and played golf and he
didn't hear anything from him while they were all figuring
out what they're gonna do with Joe Biden. That was
the best Donald Trump and probably made the most points
for himself and for the campaign he needs. You know,
he's in common and ear in some ways the same
you you know, he can uplift crowds of time, and

(01:19:47):
he can generate support, but he can also shot himself
in the foot. But yes, by going out and attacking
a very popular sitting governor in Georgia and basically going
after him again, why well, because he wants to go
back and read and read debate the twenty twenty election,
that's you know, and again when when they have this
model for Kamala where the future Donald Trump is still

(01:20:08):
certainly running in the past, and that's not something that's
going to help him with sound bites and stuff. So yeah,
I mean, Trump can very much be his own worst enemy.
If he just keeps his mouth quiet and shut, he
can probably win this. To me, it'd be almost similar
to what somebody said about the debate with Biden was basically,
take thirty seconds to answer your question and let Biden

(01:20:29):
ramble for the for the rest of your time and
his time, and you'll see that he's you know, isn't
wasn't fed and he did and he wasn't fit and
the same thing with with with with Kamala. I would
just let her talk the whole time because at some
point she's going to go off script and it's going
to become a great SoundBite for them. But he wants
to keep that Mike copen. He wants to be on camera,
and he wants to people to listen to him. And

(01:20:51):
it's becoming his own worst enemy. And a race that
seemed to be almost unlosable is Mickey is becoming losable
because of this and because of these crazy attacks that
he goes off.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
On unforced airs. That's what I tell everybody, unforced airs.
And I see a lot of it with him. It's
again Saturday Night, Popular Governor. You roast him and you
air your grievances. And people care about the economy, they
care about, you know, just unstoppable tsunami of immigration that's
going on. They care about the kitchen, you know, table

(01:21:22):
kind of things. And you're out there, like you said,
on your grievance you know, on your grievance box, screaming
and yelling. Move on from that, and when somebody asks
you a question like do you not like women or
black people? You say, I love everybody. I love them
so much that I want to fix the economy. I
want to get working for everybody. I want to stop immigration.
I want to allow it to happen legally. Simple things

(01:21:44):
that he just can't do. And that's my frustration with him.
And I know a lot of people get frustrated because
you should be in it to win it for him. No,
I'm in it to be honest about what's going on.
I love the policies, but this guy screwing it up.
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
I watched Josh Shapiro last night and I thought to myself, Yeah,

(01:22:06):
in a way, they did dodge a bullet, because I
think a lot of people surprised yesterday about the VP pick.
The reality is, though Walls is not a threat to Harris.
He said he doesn't want to be the president. Of course,
you get that close to it, you never know what
people are gonna do. That being said that, dude's energetic,

(01:22:27):
he is smart, He's pretty damn moderate all things considered
in this all extreme world. I think in some ways
they did dodge a bullet, But it also showed the
left has got a real anti Semitic issue. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

Speaker 29 (01:22:44):
I mean basically it sounds like that Shapiro wasn't approved
by the Hamas anti semmit wing of the Democrat Party
right now, and that's probably what's shut down his chances. Yeah,
he came out and gave a good speech, probably better
than any of the other two speeches. It came along
last night introduction ceremony or the introduction speeches. It leaves
with a couple of questions, was it You know that

(01:23:06):
there are some rumors out there that he actually turned
down the opportunity or withdrew his name, not that he
was offered and said no, but that he took his
name out of contention. Now, it could have been for
a number of reasons. It could have been because he
didn't get along with with Kamala, or it could be
that after the interview he said it didn't go well
and he decided that he didn't want to go forward

(01:23:26):
with the process. It could be that he went there,
had an interview, she went off on a word salad
for thirty minutes and goes, oh my gosh, this is
going to be a dumpster fire. Don't I want to
be president one day? And I don't want myself tarnished
by this, because nobody who's ever done one of these
where they've come out as a losing end, other than
Richard Nixon sixty plus years ago, has ever come back
to win the presidency, and he knows the history of that,

(01:23:48):
so he doesn't. You know, he could thinking that I
don't want to be part of this dumpster fire. You know,
I'm out, And or it could be like I said,
it could be that the homess winger of the party
decided that he wasn't fit and you can't have a
Jewish person and an African American slash East Asian women
on the ballot, and they didn't want to go forward
with us. So there's lots of different reasons and maybe
at some point we may get the truth.

Speaker 21 (01:24:10):
You never know.

Speaker 29 (01:24:10):
I'm sure he's going to be a good political ally
of them and tow the party line and not an
embarrasser or call her out for being a word salid
clown if that's really what it turned out to be.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
Well, if they can get to that point of word
seal it, because you know, the media has not asked
her any questions. But I always tell everybody that'll change
if the race stays as tied as as is, and
Trump starts to pull back ahead again. She's going to
be forced to go out and answer some questions because
the media is even asking, all right, we gave you
two weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Now we're going on three weeks. You haven't sad a
word to us. So maybe, just maybe it's time for
you to come out and.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
At least do a softball interview with somebody to show
that you're all there. So we'll see if that happens.
Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. Always good
to have my man on it. We're going to do

He shall lee start with the ah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Missouri election. Corey Bush, second member of the squad that
will no longer be participating in squad like stuff loss
last night to Wesley Bell. A lot of people in
our district were mad. They felt she was are you
ready for this? A pelebrity. I coined the phrase pelebrity.
But she didn't care about the district. She cared more

(01:27:24):
about her high profile and going after Israel than dealing
with stuff right there at home. Oh wait, what, Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
I know right?

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
Russia, Ukraine, War, Iran, Donald Trump, Tim Walls all trending
on the amazing incredible yeahhoo. Head over to Google. Always
different on Google Sports stuff, sports climbing combined. If you

(01:28:00):
didn't watch the sports climbing yesterday, it is a trip
to watch those guys and gals go up that wall
so fast. It was crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:28:09):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
I got sucked into the Olympics last night. Told my
wife I can't go to bed yet.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
I got to see who wins between Chinese Taipei and
Japan in ping pong? Do you guys know table tennis?
Excuse me? Do you guys don't they have doubles? Who
was unaware of doubles ping pong, table tennis? I'm sorry?

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
Jd Vance couch story.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
Billy Bean, one of the first openly gay baseball players,
passed away yesterday at sixty.

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
Cole Hawker another exciting story, White.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Dude want to race a long distance race, which was
fascinating to watch because he came kind of out of nowhere.
It's pretty awesome. Wendy's Frosty only a buck. That's always
a great deal. It is Gabby Thomas. Another amazing race
yesterday smoked Everybody three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at chadventson shows. Your Twitter tweeted

(01:28:58):
at his text the program right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Tamp on Tim that's his nickname, Tim Walls
and Andy Ogles. FBI agents executed a search warrant on
the Tennessee Congressman's office and house. I guess yesterday and

(01:29:21):
finally over to Twitter Walls Shapiro, Minneapolis, Paul Trending, Ben
Stiller wants to be black. You heard that. I got
a text last night from producer Anthony because he watched
a lot of what was going on in Philadelphia, and
he said he is very folksy, very likable. I said,

(01:29:42):
he is very likable. Tim Plenty, who was the former
Minnesota governor before Tim Walls, said, dude, he's great.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Everybody meets and loves him. He's an amazing guy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
I don't have anything politically that basically we agree on
at all. He has gone so far left that it's
even surprised people on the left how far left he
has gone. But there's no doubt he's a very likable guy.
But as I pointed out to Anthony's I point out

(01:30:15):
to a lot of people, as I watch all of
these things, and this includes Trump, why are we not
talking about the only things that matter to the people.
We're not talking about immigration, we're not talking about the economy,
we're not talking about the potential foreign wars, we're not
talking about policy. It is bizarre because I don't I mean,
do people even care about policy now? Is it just

(01:30:37):
who can get the best zingers out there?

Speaker 16 (01:30:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Three two, three, five, four twenty three at Chad Benson
Charles your Twitter tweet at his text the program. We
got some woke stuff coming up, a lot of other
good stuff as well, including are you becoming more like
your parents?

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Chad Benson, Joe, independent Thoughts, Independent life.

Speaker 6 (01:31:22):

Speaker 18 (01:31:34):
You a frands.

Women can breast me and this is great news.

Speaker 6 (01:31:37):
No no, no, no no, There's something I need to
tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:40):
The princess who came to your ball tonight with me,
I'm Gonzarella.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
That's the one where Harry waves the magic wand and
turns everybody back to their select gender.

Speaker 19 (01:31:51):
Miss Danny it you can't speculate about someone's sexuality unless
they're famous for peppermint.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
Addie, it's time for woke Wednesday. We're gonna get woke
in a second. I love Bridget Vetsy, comedian. We've had
her on the show before. We'll probably gett her on soon.
She just tweeted out I miss the halcyon days of
the Hawk two girl. Oh goodness me. You know our
hopeful one day maybe president, the one who will lead

(01:32:20):
us out of the dark ages of evil.

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah, VP Harris.
She used to be woke.

Speaker 27 (01:32:29):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:32:30):
We have to stay woke, like everybody needs to be woke.

Speaker 15 (01:32:36):
And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker,
but just stay more woke than less woke.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
Yeah, okay, we'll do that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
Thanks so much.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Pronounce hi hi friends.

Speaker 28 (01:32:47):
Today we're talking about something super cool called pronouns. Pronouns
are little words that help us talk about each other.
We all have pronouns. Some people use he and him
like this bear, he's so cuddly. Some people use she
and per like this cat, she's so plateful. Some people

(01:33:09):
use they and them like this frog they like to hop.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Remember when kids used to just go to school to learn?

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
I continue to say this, Did you know your teacher's pronoun? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
I was Miss Price right, it is Miss Wilson, mister whoever?

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
Like I didn't know if they were married, I didn't
know if they were care straight. I didn't care I
didn't want to know. They didn't want me to buy
pals of friends, none of that stuff. Like you went there,
you learned, that was it. They never taught me, like, hey,
do you know what this frog's pronoun is? Like, I
don't even know what a pronoun is and that's a toad,

(01:33:53):
by the way, not a frog. Can you say he's
so cuddly? Good? Can you say she's so playful?

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
Good?

Speaker 28 (01:34:03):
Can you say they like to hop?

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Good? Job?

Speaker 28 (01:34:07):
And it's important to ask people what their pronouns are
because you can't always tell by what they look like.
Here's how you do it. Hi, my name is Lilix.
My pronouns are she and her?

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
What about you?

Speaker 28 (01:34:19):
Then the other person can tell you their name and pronouns.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
Oh my god, you really is that learned?

Speaker 4 (01:34:28):
Like what.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
What I just I mean? Look, we live in a
country where this is important to people, and I don't
want to diminish it. I think people think, oh, you
don't like the LGBTQ community. You're absolutely wrong. There are
problems with anybody. I don't I don't have a problems
with anybody. Some of my best friends are gay, some

(01:34:52):
of the people I work with closely are gay and
I love them. They're my ride or die and I
feel that way about them. But it's the indoctrination. It's
what it is. It's this wacky world of gender and
non binary. It's this because think about this and I

(01:35:16):
saw I should have grabbed this the other day. It
was really interesting. It was a guy who he's part
of the LGBTQ plus community and his goal. You know,
he wanted marriage equality. I have zero problems with that, absolutely.
I think the government should be able to marriage altogether.
But he goes, once we got it, nobody wanted to

(01:35:36):
close up doors of their nonprofits. It was onto being
aggrieved for something else so you could continue to raise money. Right,
So if we if we solved hunger tomorrow, you think
all those places that are out there to you know,
stop hunger are going to shut their doors and say,
well we're done. No, they're onto something else. Because activists

(01:35:59):
need to activate. If you will, oh yeah, three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Shad Benson Show,
as your Twitter tweet at as text the program Chaos
in Britain.

Speaker 27 (01:36:11):
Because let's not forget how this all started, which was
with misinformation about the identity of the person that killed
those three small girls at a Taylor Swift themed dance
class in the seaside town of Southport near Liverpool in
northwest England. So things do seem to have taken on
a bit of a life of their own, but they
really have degenerated into perhaps even more violence. This is

(01:36:32):
in Tamworth. The mob there tried to and succeeded in
setting fire to a holiday in extra which has been
housing asylum seekers, people that have come to this country
to try to get refugee status.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
It's a nightmare over there and it's going to continue
to be a nightmare. They're cracking down, which is good
to see. Even on the right wingers. Shed Yeah, if
you're burning crap, you're you're an you should absolutely pay
the price for it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
If you're rioting, you should pay the price for it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
One of the arguments being made by the evil right wingers, which,
by the way, if those are all the evil right wingers,
then a lot of these politicians should be terrified they're
going to be voted out soon. On the left, no,
they're just frustrated and angry Brits who look around and
feel like there's a two tier justice system.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
That if we go out and throw something, you guys
arrest us.

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
If we post something inflammonatory according to you, you guys
arrest us. And I did say post. We'll get to
that in a second. If somebody have, in particular the
Muslim face. Let's be real, this is what it is,
all right. It's not the uh, the the Amish, it's

(01:37:52):
it's not that. But if they post something inflammatory or
they throw something, you turn a blind eye. That's one
of the things that's arguing about this two tiered justicism
justice system that they're pissed about.

Speaker 27 (01:38:04):
Continue on a few hours after, a mob also managed
to set fire to a holiday in extra in Rotherham
in the north of England, where also the fire was
put out. Officers there with riot shields seemingly pinned against
the wall of the hotel there as the rioters through
projectiles at them. They smashed their way into the hotel.

(01:38:25):
They took out furniture and started hurling that at the
officers as well. At least ten officers have been injured.
There have been well, there's something like one hundred and
fifty arrests the after yesterday's violence. No doubt there have
been many more today.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
I abhor violence, but when you fail to and this
is something that didn't happen over a month or a
week or the last couple six months a year, the
British leaders on both the right and the left have
allowed hundreds of thousands and millions of people to come

(01:39:01):
into their country and to essentially live off their country
with no want to become a part of society, to assimilate,
and in doing so, people are frustrated. They're jumping the
line when it comes to housing, and they're jumping the
line when it comes to the NHS system that's National
Health Services. They're jumping the line and we're getting left behind.

(01:39:23):
And they're pissed and they're angry, and they see these
elitist people from you know, ten Downing Street and you
know they're in the Capitol who feel like they're judging
all these people as essentially poor white trash. And it's
not just whites, by the way. There are a lot

(01:39:44):
of young black males in particular who are Brits who
are pissed by what is happening too, feeling like, oh,
are you kidding me? But it is ugly, But you've
allowed this to happen. You know, yesterday we talked about
this and I'm like, I'll get some hate. I got
some great hate. By the way, here's a couple of

(01:40:05):
them for you. The problem is you have no culture
and you hate that. You have no clue who you are,
and that's funny, af And you didn't serve, so f
so shut the blank up, fake ass patriot. I never
once said I serve. Did anybody hear me say that?
Never once said I served? Never, Never one time have

(01:40:28):
I ever say said that. So unless you've served, you're
the only person who gets to be patriotic and love
their country. I just want to make that clear. And
I do know who I am. I took my DNA test,
so I know a lot. I'm roommated, I'm I'm related
to Charlemagne, the god know, the actual Charlemagne the king.

(01:40:53):
Oh my goodness me, you blanking pos You've done zero
for this country.

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
How could it be yours? Ever said it was mine?

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
Do a blanking day, Chad, Shut the f up, solid
I love people, fantastic. Here's something the UK is talking about,
maybe they should just get rid of in times like this,
social media. And we talked about that joking earlier. They're
arresting people for post They do not have free speech

(01:41:23):
like we have free speech. They are not free like
we are. Be blessed and happy to be in this country.
They are not free like we are when it comes
to stuff. I found that out when I was over
there broadcasting. I'm used to us having free speech, and
more than a few occasions I said some more, pummit,

(01:41:43):
you can't say those things. Got to apologize or else.
I'm like, are you kidding me? And this was the
early nineties, the mid nineties, and yeah, they're talking about, Hey,
maybe we should get rid of social media right now.

Speaker 3 (01:41:56):
I think so.

Speaker 31 (01:41:57):
I think we should stop. It is only a temporary
measure in order to limit the spread of inflammatory information
missing information as well across the United Kingdom at this point,
and I think we should focus in keeping people safe
and communities safe as well.

Speaker 3 (01:42:17):
Yeah, that's what we should do. We should just temporarily.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
By the way, when they say just temporarily, it means
we can do whenever we want, however we want, and
it's always in the guise of hey, it's just out
of safety, out of an abundance of gasion.

Speaker 11 (01:42:33):
I had a Cobra meeting this morning, which was an
opportunity that I took to thank the police for their
work over the last few days, to express my support
for the police officers who have been injured and the
communities impacted by this mindless thubborary for a number of
actions that came out of the meeting. The first is
we will have a standing army of specialist officers public

(01:42:58):
duty officers, so we'll have enough officers to deal with
this where we need them. The second is we'll ramp
up criminal justice. There've already been hundreds of arrests, some
have appeared in court this morning. I've asked for early
consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved

(01:43:18):
in the process who will feel the full force of
the law. And thirdly, have been absolutely clear that the
criminal law applies online as well as offline, and I'm
assured that that's the approach that is being taken.

Speaker 2 (01:43:33):
So even if you're online and you post something inflammatory
or what they deemed to be inflammatory, because remember over there,
it is only how you take it. So if you
think that, hey, I feel like our country is getting
away from us. I feel like that the British soul
has been taken away, and they don't like that they
can come get you. That is scary dystopian creepiness. Three two, three, five,

(01:43:57):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadminton Show,
it's your Twitter, your Instagram.

Speaker 3 (01:44:03):
Maybe we'll have some more awesome tweets and texts coming up.

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
People who are angry at me for whatever reason, because
you're a meani Chad. You hate America? No, you hate Democrats?
Do not? You hate trans Nope? No, I hate none
of those things. Actually I don't. I don't hate anything.

Speaker 6 (01:44:24):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:44:24):
Hate is an emotion that there's so much power behind.
It just seems like such a waste of time and
too much energy. You know what I do, I will
say hate. I'm gonna say this protesting the way that
it's done now, it's just NonStop twenty four to seven.
I just in the boycotts, all that stuff. I hate

(01:44:46):
that stuff, but not like serious hate, just like ah.
But if you do stop me on my way home
from wherever I'm at and you cause my day to
be even longer, then you'll feel the wrath of my anger.
And by that I mean I'll yell at you on
my show. Ah jeez, Chad, Raycon best earbuds around. Love

And then we get to the sound, which is incredible.

Speaker 4 (01:45:31):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):

rather easily, can tap it and answer calls. It is awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
Rap it up straight at Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 6 (01:46:18):
If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
You've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
It's that time of the program where we alerts up
stupid stuff and then I.

Speaker 31 (01:46:30):
Go and spoil it all by saying something stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
It will take stupid tills this morning.

Speaker 16 (01:46:35):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict they're gonna do something incredibly stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:46:43):
No, you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid, little astro crime. You should never underestimize the
predictability of stupidity.

Speaker 20 (01:46:52):
Now it's time for.

Speaker 18 (01:46:57):
Stupid information.

Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
The Olympic torch, you know, it's lit in the old
fashioned way in an ancient ceremony at the Temple of
Hera in Greece. Actresses wearing costumes of Greek priestesses use
a parabolic mirror and sun rays to kindle the torch.
From there, the torch starts its relay to the host city.
It's carried by runners, but it's also traveled on a boat,
travels on airplanes, on horseback, yeah, even on camel via

(01:47:24):
radio signal, underwater and in a canoe. It even went
to space several times. But here's something else. The relay
torch and the Olympic flame are supposed to burn during
the entire event. In the case the flame goes out,
so it goes and it's gone. It can only be
reignited with a backup flame, which has been lit in
Greece as well.

Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
So think about that. What they're saying is kids, no lighter.

Speaker 20 (01:47:50):
For that.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
Oh, now you know something silly and stupid. Some of
even chiming in mad at me because I said something
during the last segment about what's going on in Europe,
and oh, Chad, you're massive and muscle.

Speaker 3 (01:48:03):
I'm not mad at any musk.

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
But there is a group of people who want to
live like it is the fifth century, who want to
do the things they want to do in their way
of life, and they do not want to assimilate into
modern Western culture.

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
It is not a good fit. That's not being mean,
that is being honest.

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
And if they don't get their way, they become angry
and they don't care who knows about it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:32):
I'm just throwing it out there.

Speaker 2 (01:48:33):
Text the program always three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at chadmentson show is your
text line, Twitter, all of that stuff. On The Chad
Benson Show. Good show today, right, we got you over
the hump. We went a little woke, talk a little
bit about Walls, talked a little bit about Kamala I

(01:48:53):
know a lot of people out there think that I
don't like Trump, and you're wrong. I love a lot
of what he has to offer. My frustration is right now,
I think you have to pivot.

Speaker 3 (01:49:06):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:07):
I think what the Republicans bring is much better. But
I would be lying to you if I didn't tell
you the truth and think that the momentum is on
the side of the Democrats right now. Plenty of time
still left, but you better start to pivot or you'll
pay the price at the ballot box. Have a blasted
rest of your Wednesday. Will do it again tomorrow as always,
Night Night Jack.

Speaker 6 (01:49:29):
This is the Chad Benson Show.
