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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
We're not going We're not going back. Just like a tree,
that's where it final.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Were go back, going for.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're not going back.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Control our bind.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We're not going back.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
That is awful. Then it is a choir. We'll be
playing that throughout the day, singing songs about Harrison Walls.
They're not going back, They're not. Oh my god, you
should go check it out. Maybe i'll post it a

(01:02):
little bit later. It's uh, it's everything you've dreamed of
a lot of low t and sue, Subarus, TV dad
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Kamala is gonna unveil
it today something. She still won't take any damn questions,
So get that out of your damn mind. But she's

(01:26):
gonna go out and fix the economy. It is the
number one thing that is on the mind of voters
in America, the economy. She's gonna fix it for you.
She can do it through price controls. What yeah, price controls.
People really care about the economy. You know that. I

(01:48):
know that.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
Case in point, forty six percent of Americans consider themselves
to be broke, sixty six percent living paycheck to paycheck.
Latest polling from New York Times Stanta College, Harris trails
Trump seven percent among working class voters in battleground states Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
Those are voters without a college degree. That number was
significantly higher when it was Trump Biden for Donald Trump.

(02:15):
There is something about what Kamala Harris is talking about
in the economy that resonates.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
What is it? Well, first, let me tell you there
my friend. One of the things is she's younger than
Biden that across the board is going to give you
a bump three, four, five, ten percent in some cases
on stuff. And she's selling insanity, goodies, gum drops, rainbows, unicorns,

(02:41):
all of the stuff. The price control, even thinking about
talking about price control is absolutely nuts. Where's it worked nowhere? Ever? Nowhere, Venezuela.
They got all kinds of price control. What don't they
have anything? Why? Because why would you produce something if
I'm capped on what I could make? And because of

(03:04):
where they've put the prices, I am losing money every
time I make one of these and sell them. Oh,
oh you know, this is where do you want to here?
Here's a perfect example of my frustration with the Donald.
It isn't hard to sell. Supposed to be the greatest
salesman of the world, the greatest ever. And when you
come out to sell, you then talk about a lot

(03:27):
of crap that we don't really care about it anymore.
It's be real. It's falling on deaf ears and the people.
You need to sell this to, the everyday American, the
person who is right now just hanging out with the Kamala.
But then you know, you reach them and say snap
and go, oh yeah, that's right. This lady's been involved

(03:48):
with this thing for the last three years. She's part
of Bidenomics. She wanted to be the last one in
the room. This is how you sell it. The insanity
of even thinking about price control is insane. Trish Reagan,

(04:10):
My blood's like boiling.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
It's not that hard to figure out. You give everybody
twenty five thousand dollars to go out and buy their
first home. You've just jacked the price up by twenty
five thousand dollars for everybody's first home. It's the same
as the student loan thing. They can't figure out why
student loan costs are so Highway college costs are so high.
Guys it's because you gave a bunch of kids a
blank check and said, hey, go take out as much

(04:35):
money as you need to take out, and they did.
And this is the byproduct. So you want more housing inflation,
you put in rent control. You gave everybody twenty five
thousand dollars. Gosh, it sounds good, right. This is like
straight out of the Latin American playbook. I can think
of a country Venezuela who offered things like this. This

(04:55):
is Java's style stuff. And I don't mean to be alarmist,
but when you're talking about her stum, she's going to
cap grocery prices. She thinks that the grocery stores are
gouging everyone.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
That's why they've got stray force. That's right, they do.
It's ridiculous. But Chad, they're greedy and they're evil. They
are They're greedy and evil. Let's take a look at
the numbers, shall we.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
Here's the numbers I tak eggs. For example, fifty three
percent meets twenty one point three percent. So let's focus
on that per second, because that's what we are told
the Harris team is going to focus on tomorrow. So
meets twenty one percent it's basically the same number as coffee,
But there are other items that are significantly higher, for example, eggs.
And then let me take you through some other ones.

(05:44):
Auto insurance fifty five percent, gas thirty five percent, electricity
up twenty eight percent. These are the numbers since the
beginning of the Biden administration. So if you are going
to put price cats, price controls, whatever you want to
call it, on meat, should we do this on insurance,
on geic goo on all states? Should you do it
on the major gas companies? Should you do it on
the major egg companies?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Oh, major Egg, Big Egg. You gotta watch out for
Big Egg. Yeah, why not? Why don't we just cap
certain things?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Right?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
It's because it's totally going to work now. People get
out of the business. So today it's going to be
about meats. But across the board. And we've heard this
because of the cost of groceries. It's groceries. It's groceries.
It is those evil, greedy grocery folks. They're just living

(06:36):
off of us, making tons of money, smiling fat cats,
jumping in like Scrooge McDuck into piles of gold in
their back office, laughing at us. Oh you morons.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
My colleague Iver hear at some many six research and
I we were looking at some of these bigger retailers
and these grocery change and the consumer staple companies, and
the reality is, guess what, they're paying more for everything
as well, and they can't pass as many of those
costs on as they would like, so their profitability margins suffer.

Speaker 8 (07:11):
I mean, it's not rocket science.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
But the woman does not understand economics period case.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Clothes end of story, Tris Reagan. She does understand economics
because that's what she does for a living. Well, why
do people talk about price controls if it's so bad?
Because it's about winning an election, that's it. It's about
winning an election. And the minute you can start to

(07:38):
vote your self goodies, that's when democracy really starts to
struggle in ways that many cases leads to a bit
of a doubtfall. Go look at what took place back
in the day of Rome. Everybody wanted free stuff. Give
me some free stuff. It's you can't do it. Are

(08:05):
there bad people out there who are greedy will take advantage?
Of course there is. But price controls don't work. Rent
control doesn't work. It doesn't And when you go and
you do and you All you're trying to do is
get a group of people who don't understand what's going on.

(08:27):
In many cases, truly, the low information von rock out
with the vibes. Give them some fun like, Hey, it's
gonna be great because I'm gonna make everything better. Government's
gonna make everything better. How are they gonna do that?
Because we're gonna fix it so certain groups who are

(08:48):
evil and bad won't be making money like they used to.
And we'll pass that on to you. It doesn't work,
you know how I know because I'm not an idiot.
Let's see, did price control work for Nixon and rent control?
It did not. It did not. It's not gonna work here,

(09:14):
butch had There's yes, there are bad actors out there,
but just to show everybody, you know, because they're gonna
come after the meats and the groceries. We talked earlier
this week about Kroger. Right, they've got dynamic pricing and
all of these things. They investigated Kroger for price gouging.

(09:35):
You know what, the FTC said, Yeah, there's nothing here.
They haven't done that. Their margins are profit wise are
about the same as they were when inflation took off.
You mean they're not, No, that's there. It is what
it is. And free market and capitalism will solve things

(09:58):
when you give people choice. Because if you're gonna charge
me fifteen bucks and I'm going across the street and
get something for ten, I'm gonna go over there and
it's the same thing, right, I'm gonna go over there
and you'll either adjust or you'll go out of business.

(10:23):
Oh man, so much stuff to get to today. I
mean this is you know when everybody talks about and
see the thing is with Trump, You've got to frame
it in a way that is understandable for a lot
of people. Think of everybody as a low information voter.
Think of everybody as the person who isn't paying attention.

(10:46):
Either they're not the sharpest or they're just not paying
attention because they're busy with their life. Remind them you're
working two jobs because the expense of life, and her
telling you that she's going to price control things is
then going to create shortages, which will then create create

(11:08):
more inflation, which will then mean you can have a
third job if you can get a job three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show's

Matthew Perry. Talk a bit about that as well. Board Capital.
I'm going to talk to her buddy Zach Abraham next hour.
We'll ask him a bit about this. But let me
tell you something about Bullwark Risk reviews. What they want
to do. It's free, doesn't cost anything. How many people
out there know what's going on in their retirement? They're

weird things that took place during the week because it's
finally Friday.

Speaker 9 (13:26):
My faulty spot the late start.

Speaker 11 (13:28):
We unfortunately had a massive distributed malog service attack.

Speaker 12 (13:32):
This information on Twitter is not just a campaign issue,
it's a you know, it's an America issue. What role
does the White House where the president have in sort
of stopping that.

Speaker 9 (13:42):
I'm not a hundred dollars walking in my hole.

bron It's fine Friday.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'm done my motor.

Speaker 7 (14:04):
Basically, what they were asking for is fifteen dollars for
anti Trump content on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Her on TikTok.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
She is killing it.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Oh, I'm not gonna let somebody get eat by a bear.

Speaker 14 (14:14):
I got her sugar baby down the road. She's sitting
really robbed in a daze.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Stone on that.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
We'll be working.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
All on, doing all all.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
It's fine fire, I'm done my motor.

Speaker 15 (14:35):
Aumila Harris has yet to hold a press conference.

Speaker 16 (14:38):
It seems like she has time if she wanted to
do an interview.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Would it kill you guys to have a press conference.

Speaker 9 (14:44):
Why isn't she had a press coffee?

Speaker 17 (14:46):
She could do an interview today, I would think, you know,
because she's not out there today.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Why isn't she had a press conference. She's the vice president,
she can handle the questions.

Speaker 9 (14:53):
Why not do it?

Speaker 16 (14:53):
I'm not sure the issues were ever central to how
people make up their mind about a president of the
United States.

Speaker 18 (15:07):
We need a very.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Slowly unity bun.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
The tick talkers are at it again. They just discovered
raw dogging flights.

Speaker 19 (15:25):
Because America isn't just for the whites. It's not just
for the blacks, It's not just for the Mexicans now,
it's for everyone around the world.

Speaker 20 (15:32):
I think there are enormous problems that mass migration is
created in terms of our culture.

Speaker 21 (15:36):
I'm actually going to need to stop for a second.
Some of you may know that I occasionally get affected
by some panic attack.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
At Chad Bentson shows. Your Twitter tweeted its text a
program right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (15:50):
People need to breathe.

Speaker 10 (15:52):
Dadful and overing ruined my kids.

Speaker 23 (15:54):
I'm very modest, I'm very mindful. You see my shirt
only a little chee chyo.

Speaker 15 (16:00):
This is what I've lived doing my entire life, and
there's a tournament doing it.

Speaker 9 (16:03):
I want to do this.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's a Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
I said, don't do it.

Speaker 16 (16:07):
I told him things what I do and he said
no way, And I said way.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
What a week? Right? I love the people starting to
ask questions now about why won't she do an interview?
John Berman there and Jim Shooto and everybody starting to
ask questions, you know, and and oh will we're going
to do it, But she did kind of do sit down.
Of course, it happened to be with her vice presidential

(16:34):
running mate. They talked about hard hitting things like white
guy tacos, like I have white guy tacos, and is
that like mayonnaise and tunea?

Speaker 24 (16:43):
What are you doing?

Speaker 22 (16:44):
Pretty much ground beef and cheese.

Speaker 25 (16:46):
That's okay, you put any flavoring it.

Speaker 9 (16:48):
No, here's the deal.

Speaker 15 (16:51):
No, they said to be careful and let her know
this that black pepper is the top of the spice
level in Minnesota.

Speaker 25 (16:56):
You know, I'm the first vice president I believe who
has ever grown chilli peppers.

Speaker 22 (17:01):
I'm trying to food knowledge.

Speaker 13 (17:03):
Do you know what.

Speaker 8 (17:04):
We've got some canalogs.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
You'll be fine. Yeah, Oh my god, just awful speaking
so awful. We're going to play because there's like a
Kamala Harris choir thing of these people singing low te
by the way, the guys that are in there, very
very low tea, and a lot of Subaru drivers, you

(17:25):
know what I mean? As well talk a little bit
about that. A bunch of other stuff to get to,
including her big speech on the economy, because she's like, hey,
it's going well over there in Venezuela. Maybe we should
do what they're doing, but in our own way.

Speaker 26 (17:37):
It's a Chad Benson, Joe, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Hey, you're live on the Chad Benson Show. Hey, I've
got a request. I want to hear support that great
song for the hairs Choir. They're so amazing. You've got it,
you want it. It's number one with a bullet again
this week it's the hairs Choir, just like that.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Where not going Yeah, we're not going.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh that's.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Wow. Glad that quest came through. We'll have more of it.
I'm sure number one with a bullet this week of
crappy songs. It's not very nice, Chad. They're trying very hard.
Oh my goodness. Next week the convention. Who's ready for it?
Are you ready for it? Are you ready for its?
Chicago ready for it? So you're gonna have two issues.

(19:17):
You're gonna have people inside and I continue to say
that there are going to be be some people who
get inside who whether through fake press credentials as far
as they're with this press and they got let in,
or they're going to cause some disruption. Some people disagree,
but on the outside, oo lording will Chicago burn?

Speaker 27 (19:39):
Despite the legal battles that we've been seeing over the
past couple of weeks and months, there was literally a
court hearing today, you can expect there to be massive
protests here in Chicago. The organizer one of the coalition groups,
the largest group that we know about, says that they're
planning for about twenty to twenty five thousand protesters on
Monday alone. I want you to listen to what the

(20:00):
superintendent of Chicago's police department told me about that, because
he said he welcomes the peaceful protesters, but for those
who are have that intentions, he has a pretty clear
message for them.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Listen here.

Speaker 28 (20:11):
So, do we want to clash with people, Absolutely not.
Do we want to have fights in the streets with people.

Speaker 9 (20:17):
Absolutely not. But I want to make one thing clear,
make it clear. I want to.

Speaker 22 (20:22):
Make this perfectly clear.

Speaker 28 (20:24):
We need to know the difference between rioting and protesting.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Well, I know the difference. Do you the minute they
try to attack you, beat you, start destroying things, stealing stuff.
We're going to go with rioting standing there singing great
songs like we Shall overcome or We're never going back
or whatever. Those people are singing. That's protesting. So should

(20:50):
we should we draw a picture or do you need
to explain to them the difference between rioting and protesting?
Is that what you're going with. I mean, I'm trying
to figure this out here. I feel like maybe you're
not as prepared as you think you are, and you
need to be prepared because there's a very good chance,
especially outside, it's gonna get ugly. I don't want it to.

(21:11):
I mean, this apportioned me that always votes for chaos.
But no, I don't want it to. But is it
a possibility?

Speaker 27 (21:17):
He told me his officers have received de escalation training
training on first and fourth Amendment.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
They also are having.

Speaker 27 (21:24):
Other departments come in to help backfill the secure zone
so that it's Chicago Police Department officers that are out
interacting with the public.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
So we'll find out how that goes on the outside. Now,
on the inside, you're going to have a bunch of
delics and people who got a lot of votes. Right,
This is seven hundred thousand people that decided to vote
for somebody else that wasn't Biden that now is going
to go to Kamala Harris. And the reason is simple,
what's gone on in palast What will they be like?

(21:56):
What is that going to be like? This is doctor
James Zogbie talking about the potential of chaos on the inside.

Speaker 29 (22:04):
But no, the uncommitted people in the convention are not
going to do disruption. That's not what they're doing. They
did not engage in a political campaign to win seven
hundred thousand votes across the country to trash things inside
the convention.

Speaker 22 (22:18):
That's not the game they play.

Speaker 29 (22:19):
These are folks who are solid political organizers, who think
deeply and care a lot about the future of the
Democratic Party in the country. They are not people who
are going to do what they can to disrupt things.
That's not the approach they've taken.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
We'll find out. I still think there's going to be
some you know, some craziness because you just this is
what these protests have become on college campuses. I mean,
my god. They shut down the four L five freeway
in Los Angeles this week, and that was a few.
They're expecting twenty five thousand, Day one, what's it look like?
Day two? Three? What's it looked like? On Thursday when

(22:54):
she speaks? Oh, speaking of the convention, there's going to
be a lot of celebrities, and Harris and the powers
to be feel a little uncomfortable with what is happening
celebrity wise, like, oh, this is feeling like an award show.

Speaker 15 (23:14):
How many celebrities are going to populate the convention in Chicago.

Speaker 30 (23:19):
Because you know, celebrities have been coming out big for
Kamala Harris and showing up at rallies, but in Chicago,
it's going to look a little different, and by design
has campaign.

Speaker 15 (23:32):
Because there is a thing that has happened over the
last I don't know twenty years where lots and lots
of celebrities have spoken up in favor of Democratic candidates
and there has been a little bit of a backlash
from time to time. And the Harris campaign, we're told,
is very conscious of that. So they want celebrities there,

(23:56):
but they don't want too many of them, right.

Speaker 30 (23:57):
And they don't want them in high pro file. In
other words, you don't want what they don't want as
a parade of celebrities on stage where the DNC ends
up looking more like the Oscars.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Oh that's smart, that is smart. You don't want that.
There's a lot of reasons for that. But they had
Hull Cocain and Kid Rock settled down. God bless, I
love Kid Rock. He rocks it. He's a celebrity. It's
a rock star. Hull cogin thirty five years ago, one

(24:29):
of the biggest celebrities in the world. Still like the Holkster,
but you know, come on, it was insane. Let's be real.
But the amount of celebrities are going to be there's
huge because it's hip and it's cool and it's all
the things and again vibes.

Speaker 15 (24:42):
There will be celebrities, but there is a backlash that
occurs when there are too many of them because a
lot of people, you know, not in the flyover states,
as we call it, they're not crazy. They call it that,
they don't call it that, But they're not crazy about
big celebrities telling people how to vote.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, that's what they're worried about. They're worried about being elitist.
I remember for years with Kid growing up, the Republican
Party was the elite party. Now the elites tend to
be in the world of the Democrats, right, big tech, academia, Hollywood,

(25:26):
all of those. So there is a sense that and
it's one of the reasons Trump is doing so well
with a lot of unions because the fact is is
the members identify more with the Republicans in a lot
of ways than they do the people that are pushing
for the unions and who are you know, closing up

(25:46):
to them because they want their endorsements, but their endorsements
they feel like the Democrats have left them, that they've
become you know, you guys, are you get your hands dirty?
We're now academia and we look down a bit upon you.
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 31 (26:02):
I think it's actually a really smart move by the
campaign to be very selective and choosy about who they're
bringing out, because there are lessons to be learned from
Hillary Clinton's campaign where it was chock full of celebrities.
You remember Kim Kardashian came out all sorts of celebrities
back to Hillary Clinton and it didn't work then. So
Kamala Harris's campaign is like, we can be selective here.
We got a lot of enthusiasm, let's get the right celebrities.

(26:23):
Maybe George Clooney's in that mix. Maybe not, but we
know John Legend for sure.

Speaker 28 (26:26):
We know.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
And here's the thing about Cloney. Clooney was the number
one fundraiser for Biden. The Democrats raised a ton of money.
A lot of them are going to be there in
the back. Some by design don't want to be seen,
and others by design from the campaign don't want to
show them. But there is one they want. Can you guess? Beyonce,

(26:51):
no Carrot Top, no day Swizzle, the.

Speaker 15 (26:59):
One person and who could really make a difference for
the Democrats. I mean, there is one person and it's
not Clooney, and it's not Oprah, and it's only to.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Say her name.

Speaker 15 (27:09):
Just say her name already, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift. But
it is true can change the election. And I'll tell
you she is a very intentional person. She came out
and support of Biden in twenty twenty. I don't think
there's much doubt at all if she's going to endorse someone,
she's going to endorse Harris, but she will do it.

Speaker 9 (27:30):
We don't know that she's going to.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
We don't know that she's going to.

Speaker 15 (27:32):
But if she does it, she would do it strategically,
and that would probably be in late October, you would think,
because the idea would be to mobilize people to get
them to the polls and her call to action. She
did this with the get out of the Vote campaign,
moved the needle. So she's the one person. If they
had to pick anybody, it's going to be Taylor Swift right.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Now and saying that her concert last night went off
without a hitch. But some Swifties we're very upset by
what took place last week in Austria and are asking
questions about, well, maybe the Republicans have a better way
to deal with some of these nut jobs guys.

Speaker 32 (28:09):
I never saw this on my twenty twenty four Bengo card,
But the Swifties are waking up the Swifties. I never
thought i'd see the day that Swifties were rallying for Trump.
I guess something with Isis happened. There's a lot of

(28:30):
terrorism going on.

Speaker 33 (28:31):
I guess she had to shut down some shows because
of it. I'm there finally waking up, and it's wild
to see, Like I'm so proud, literally so fricking proud
right now, Like go swifties like, let's fucking do this, bro.
We're in it together now.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Baby.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I know how real that is, but yeah, I have
a feeling there are more people out there than people realize.
Why Taylor Swift is so kind of ambiguous in the
political world is I don't need to piss off Republicans
because they buy tickets too. And I remember Michael Jordan

(29:12):
said the same thing about shoes. So she will support Harris,
But how she does it, I don't think it's gonna
be a big, splashy thing. They would love it to be.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Irreverence Like yeah, so what it's the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 34 (30:48):
At the center of the operation Justviine Sung and elect
drug trafficker known as the Ketamine Queen and licensed medical
practitioner Salvador Placentia known as doctor p Court dot It
showed that just days before Perry died, his personal assistant,
Kenneth Ewasama, paid doctor p twenty one five hundred dollars
in cash. Perry's personal assistant pleading guilty to one count

(31:11):
of conspiracy, admitting to authorities he repeatedly injected Perry with ketamine,
even injecting that fatal dose o ketamine.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Queen, she got eleven grand, the doctor got fifty five grand.
It's just a couple hundred dollars worth of vial of
these things, and the doctor taxed at one time, saying
you know how much money you think we get basically
from this moron. It's horrible that Matthew Perry died, but
it brings to I think the forefront a lot of

(31:43):
what's going on in the world of mental health, with
things like ketamine, which was approved a long time ago
as part of an anesthesia, and we've talked a bit
about that yesterday. And like anything, you start to get
to a point where you abuse anything, there's always that chance.

Speaker 34 (32:03):
The US attorney detailing what he called a broad criminal
network responsible for illegally distributing large amounts of the drug
to Perry.

Speaker 35 (32:12):
Over two months from September to October twenty twenty three,
they distributed approximately twenty vials of ketamine to mister Perry
in exchange for fifty five thousand dollars in cash.

Speaker 34 (32:26):
At the center of the operation, Jasvine Sung and alleged
drug traffickers and licensed medical practitioner Salvador Placentia.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
She, by the way, is already being looked at for
a twenty nineteen overdose. And again, it's a horrible situation.
But there's a reason that people use ketemine. And you know,
Hollywood is kind of where it started at. There's a
reason that people are using it.

Speaker 34 (32:54):
Ketamine is being legitimately used as psychiatric treatment all over America,
legally administered through ivs and lozenges and nose sprays. This
is not on the same level as fentanyl and heroin
and other opioids. This is a Schedule three drug, basically
on par with anabolic steroids in terms of illegality. So

(33:14):
the punishment for possession and selling of this particular narcotic
is not nearly as severe as some of the others.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
No, but why people use it, It's a big deal.
I want you listen to this. This sums up everything
in a real way. People are struggling, they're on antidepressants,
and what ketamine can do comparatively to other things.

Speaker 17 (33:37):
The average antidepressant takes about two months to produce a
reduction in symptoms. Ketamine produces those same kinds of improvements
within twenty four hours in many people.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
That is massive. So imagine you go to a doctor
and you're struggling and you've tried everything. They want to
put you on antidepressants, and like anything, there's going to
be side effect, but the thought is it may take
two three months, this may not be the right thing
for you, and so we might have to switch on

(34:10):
to something else. And you know, we're going to try ketamine.
Within twenty four hours, you notice a difference. You're like, WHOA, Like,
that's that's huge. That's massive. What could these people face
if convicted?

Speaker 24 (34:30):
Both Sangha and Plasencia could spend the rest of their
lives in prison, And Perry's assistant and two other suspects
had pleaded guilty, they are facing shorter prison sentences.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
So the Kademine Queen again, she's facing some serious charges.
The doctor's his his attorney's already been out and said, look,
he didn't do anything illegal. Everything was completely legal, and
I I think he's got a real case that he

(35:01):
can stand on and say, I did everything the right way.
I'm licensed to do this. I sold this. The fact
that you abused it isn't my issue. Isn't my issue.
That's a U issue. It's kind of what their attorney said.
And I think he's got a stronger foot to stand
up rather than the kenemy Queen kadd I mean, Queen,

(35:24):
Oh Chad, If you guys don't know that, there's carabing
Queen the Great Billy Oshan three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your
Twitter tweet at as text to program. Love hearing from
all of you right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up second hour. A lot of good stuff. More

(35:44):
on the big speech VP Harris about the economy, how
they're going to fix the economy, juxtaposed that against what
Trump came out and did yesterday. And I continue to
say this, My frustration level with Trump has so much
to do with the fact that a lot of people
can see the path on how to win, and unfortunately
the message right now that he is delivering in many

(36:06):
cases is all over the place. And it is frustrating
because when you hear the price Oh we're gonna do
price control. We can do I just think, oh my god,
are you nuts? Doesn't work. It's never worked in the
history of ever. That's why we should all be frustrated
and worried. If you're missing the show, make sure you
grabbed the podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (36:24):
This is the Chad.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent life.

Speaker 10 (36:54):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
It is not the government's job two solve the problems
of the people. You know what the government is about.
It isn't I mean, you know, there's a lot of

(37:17):
people out there. They look at the government. The government
has become their god. And the people on the left
want to give as much power to the government as possible.
People on the right they want the people to have
the power. That that's the reality of it. You want
the people to have the power. And you're going to

(37:45):
hear a bunch of stuff from the left, from Harris
and everybody about what they're going to do when it
comes to the economy, the number one thing that people
care about, and her plan is going to be what
we're not quite sure. We're not quite sure, but price control.

(38:13):
That is scary, how scary Washington Post is all that
is scary.

Speaker 36 (38:18):
So Senator, let me just read a quick passage from
a piece of the Washington Washington Post this morning, and
I bed that writes, quote, it's hard to exaggerate how
bad this policy is. It is in all but name,
a sweeping set of government enforced price controls across every industry,
not only foods. Supply and demand would no longer determine
prices or profit levels far off Washington bureaucrats would the

(38:40):
FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio,
the acceptable price it can charge for milk. Curious how
you respond to that from the Washington Post, And who
exactly decides when a price at the grocery store in
Ohio is excessive?

Speaker 4 (38:56):
That right there, Willy Geist on morning Joe reading from
the op ed in the Washington Post about the price control.
We're going to price control, rent control. We can do
all these things. Government can solve all the problems. By
the way, government is a serial arsonist who also wants
to be a fireman, but in many cases doesn't have

(39:17):
a fire truck. So you heard that. We talked this
week about you know, the prices in Kroger with their
dynamic pricing and all of these things. You hear all
this stuff about they're gouging, it's greedflation, it's all of
these things. Yet when they investigated them Kroger, they didn't

(39:46):
find anything. What do you mean they didn't find anything?
Can But they're evil, greedy sons of bows of.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
No.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
They want control, centralize it, give it to us, will
decide who gets what. Very much like this guy, oh god,
what was his name, ran a country South America, Venezuela,
some sort of jave as fellow, and then the guy
he then the guy in Maduro took over and they

(40:18):
did the price.

Speaker 9 (40:19):
What.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Yeah, that doesn't work. This is Bob Casey, Willie. Guys
who's talking to Senator. This should scare you.

Speaker 11 (40:27):
Well's that it's really not at the grocery store level.
This is at the corporate level, Willie. They've been they've
been making record profits. We've never seen the kind of
profits in corporate America the.

Speaker 9 (40:37):
Last couple of years.

Speaker 11 (40:38):
And when they're doing that, they're they're bragging about increasing prices.

Speaker 9 (40:42):
So my point is that we should.

Speaker 11 (40:44):
Give the federal government the power to investigate just just
run of the mill price gouging, and you give the
people an opportunity to fight back against them. As I said,
if they're not engaged in corporate price couch and they
got nothing to worry about.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
You already have the power to investigate, and you did.
The FTC investigated Kroger.

Speaker 37 (41:07):
Are you guys ruining people's lives by charging a lot
more than you should be and your costs have gone
down or stayed the same.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
And they investigated and found no, No, I haven't done that,
haven't done that at all. So you said, well, we
want the power to investigate, You already have that power.

(41:42):
You don't want the power to investigate. In reality, you
want the power to control. That's terrifying. This alone should
get Trump to the White House.

Speaker 11 (41:54):
This is long I think long overdue. People are tired
of just accepting a higher price.

Speaker 9 (42:00):
Says now. Consumers obviously have a lot of power here.
And because I've.

Speaker 11 (42:04):
Pointed it out for the better part of nine or
ten months now, people are putting pressure and some some
of that public pressure is working on some of these
big corporations. But look, they've had it, they've had it
pretty good. They've they've got they got the biggest tax
cut imaginable along with the billionaires. That's why they're attacking
me in this campaign. They don't they know I won't

(42:24):
vote for their tax cuts. And they also know that
I'm not gonna not going to give up on prosecuting
this case on corporate price couching.

Speaker 9 (42:33):
And people get it?

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Do they do? They really get it?

Speaker 9 (42:39):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Yeah, they totally get it. They've got it. They understand,
do they? Because your whole goal is what you want
to be able to control and tell the people we're
going to fix everything. That's our goal. To raise taxes.

(43:01):
But she apparently is going to cut taxes on the
middle class. You can cut tax by the way, you
could raise taxes on the wealthy to a kabillion percent.
That's why I've always never understood the corporate taxes I
would keep low, but on the wealthy. I got friends
who are uber wealthy, and they're like, dude, you can

(43:22):
raise taxes to one hundred percent. I got guys, Well,
you've got people I do want to Yeah, of course,
middle class. I think we could all use little tax break,
couldn't we. You know what I never hear though when
they talk about that is responsible spending responsible spending. Rarely

(43:50):
do you hear it. The thing that should scare you
the most, you know, when they talk about her being
a socialist, and when they talk about her, you know,
they never explain it. And then Trump gets lost, and
then Trump's all over the place, and quite frankly, the

(44:11):
messenger that he was, he isn't any more. You mean
mad at me? I'm fine with that. This right here
alone should say this is why if you think inflation's bad. Now,
By the way, who causes inflation? Anybody who causes inflation? Government,

(44:33):
who prints money, government, the great Milton Friedman economists.

Speaker 18 (44:42):
I am afraid that the chances that we shall have
price in wage controls are unfortunately not negligible. It is
a device that governments have repeatedly resorted to to try
to cover up the effects of their own policy. It
is offered as a cure for influence inflation. It is
not a cure for inflation. It has never been a

(45:03):
cure for inflation. It is an alleged cure that is
far worse than the disease.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Like I said, they're serial arsonist who want to put
out a fire and they don't have a fire truck.
Should be an easy sell to the American people. You
see what's going on in Venezuela. They're about price control.
How are they about price control? Because Hugo Chavez started it.

(45:33):
He would walk in and say, these TVs are four
hundred dollars, they're now one hundred bucks. And what happened?
People bought them, there was a run on them. Then
there was no more TVs. And then they're like, why
don't we have any more TVs? Well, why would I
get a TV that's going to cost me two hundred

(45:54):
and fifty or three hundred dollars and I can only
sell it for a hundred bucks, therefore losing a couple
hundred dollars. That doesn't make sense. So I've decided to
get out of the TV business. It's for show. Why
does it fail? But government continues to push things like

(46:17):
this because amongst the people, there will always be more
have nots than halves. So amongst the people that are
in theory, the have nots who are struggling on a
day to day basis basically a lot of America. The
goal is simply is how can I make you feel
like I'm going to solve your problems? Rather than solving

(46:38):
the problems by reducing wasteful spending, spending correctly, not printing money,
not going anymore in debt, cutting regulations, and getting out
of your way. Well that's just that's why don't I
just fix it for you? And then that makes everything great?

(47:03):
It's crazy, it is, and it should be an easy sell,
but it's not because the struggle's real. And this is
my frustration with Trump, and I hear from a lot
of you get pissed off about this, But the reality
is this should be an easy cell. Will it be?

(47:26):
Can you explain it? Can you keep it simple? Stupid?
As if you're talking to somebody who has no idea
about anything when it comes to economics, no idea about
any of that stuff. How do you paint a picture
and how do you make it not about you and
stay on message? He can't. He can't. That's the reality

(47:50):
of it. He just can't. And I blame a lot
of this on the people around him who need to
be more forceful and say and that's why he brought
korn Luisdowski back. So we brought Corey back, and we'll
try to get Corey on next week. But keep it simple, stupid,
and keep it short, you don't need to be out

(48:11):
somewhere talking for an hour and forty minutes or hour
and twenty minutes. Why say something in an hour that
you can say in fifteen twenty minutes. And this right here,
laid out perfectly for you, should be an easy sell.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Menton shows your Twitter, tweet at us,

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 38 (49:51):
Crane claims to have pushed over twenty one miles inside Russia,
occupying over four hundred and forty square miles of territory.
President Zelenski declaring Ukraine is now in full control of
the small town of Suja, six miles from the border
inside Russia. Zelenski said Ukraine's military is now setting up

(50:12):
a command office in Suja, suggesting they may be planning
to stay longer term.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
WHOA the shocker, isn't it. I mean some people are like,
I can't believe they're doing that. I'm like, remember they
got invaded. Let's not forget this. What we talk about
the presidential election. We're eighty some days away from that,
and I'm getting close to the finish line. We can
almost see it and all the stuff. I want you
to think about the big picture here, Trump and VP

(50:46):
Harris in negotiations in the room. Hmm, hard man, hard ass.
VP Harris. What is she going to do? Maybe she
is a hard ass. Maybe she is I don't know. Again,
we know very little about her, even though we know

(51:06):
a lot about her. But there's some real stuff going down.
And I kind of want the dick, the mean guy
in there, you know, the mean, tweety guy. I kind
of want that. I want somebody who would look at
Putin and said when he said no way, I said, way,

(51:28):
that guy, don't you continue?

Speaker 39 (51:32):
The United States has been Ukraine's strongest STYLI throughout this war.
And yes, it appears it was kept in the dark
about this operation before it began, and astonishingly depends on
saying it's still looking for guidance from Ukraine about their
true intentions for the Curse offensive.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
It's to take back really what it is. It's not
taking back anything. It's the further we get in, the
more we make you uncomfortable. The more that we bring
the war to you, right kind of like when Abbott
started shipping if you will, all of the people that
have come here illegally, so all these are legal limics,

(52:12):
all of these places you brought it to them. The
attitude changed three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson's show. Is your Twitter
tweet at us text the program right here on the
Chad Benton Show. If they can get the attitude to change, like, hey,
we thought this was some sort of police operation going

(52:34):
on over on the other side, but they're at my
front door. So the goal simply put yourself in a
better bargaining. And they've taken over like four or five
hundred square miles. Do you know how many square miles
the Russians have taken over? One hundred thousand. Meanwhile, another
hot spot on the.

Speaker 20 (52:52):
Globe, Hamasa said it's not formally participating in the talks,
but the talks are happening in Dohacats. But there are
a lot of ha Mass officials based in that city,
and it is possible that they are represented in some
shape or form, and even the Katari's key mediators alongside
with the us know and represent the position of Hamas

(53:14):
in these talks more generally, over the last few months, they're.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Doing everything they can to get a ceasefire. Everything they can.
It's simple, lay your arms down, give back the hostages.

Speaker 7 (53:25):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
That's it. But as I'll continue to tell you, as
many others have told everybody through the years, this is
a business for Hamas is not Think of them as
a corporation. Best way's ground. Think of them in a corporation.
Much like racism, right, and all these things. These activists
that that's a business. War and pissing off and hating

(53:47):
the Jews is a business. They're customers, if you will,
aren't the people in Palestine. The customers are use idiots
like college kids and things of that nature. The un
want because the more that they get those people on board,
the more money they receive, the more power they keep.

(54:12):
Oh you're missing any the show, grab the podcast, love
hearing from all of you. It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 26 (54:18):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
Love it when you tax the program three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
is your Twitter tweet at US text the program yesterday
we were talking about the housing issue, you know, because
again government gets involved, they overregulate, they do things that
are ridiculous because it's about pleasing voters.

Speaker 9 (55:04):
Not.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
In the way that we should think about pleasing voters,
which is I'm going to do my best in life
to stay out of your way and give you the
runway so you have a chance to either have success
or fail. But I'm not going to put up any roadblocks.
But instead what they do is I've threw up millions
of roadblocks. Then says the only way that I can
get out of this is by adding more roadblocks. But

(55:28):
it'll help you momentarily. And that's the housing issue. A
lot of blue cities, one person says, all cities are blue,
diversity and empathy. Why are blue cities safer in blue
states than blue cities in red states? It's the bizarre thing.
Another person says, want to fix the housing crisis, stop
letting companies buy them. Simple, Look, a lot of these

(55:49):
companies bought up a lot of houses, Ain't no doubt
about that. That being said, if there was tons of
houses that were available comparatively to these small amount of
houses that are available because you can't build anywhere outside
of a few states without being charged to death. Guess what,

(56:09):
you don't have that problem, but you do have that
problem because government likes to make problems that they think
are solving problem. Case in point California. You remember in California,
they arbitrarily said we should raise minimum wage to twenty
dollars an hour, but only for fast food workers. Now,
if you work down the street at a bank and
you're making seventy dollars an hour, you're sol But if

(56:32):
you're flipping a burger and making the fries twenty bucks.

Speaker 40 (56:34):
California's political geniuses, in the name of helping workers, have
once again passed a law that kills jobs.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
The minimum wage for fast food workers will rise to
twenty dollars an hour.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
We need this, We need this so bad. We need this.

Speaker 40 (56:49):
As this union activist, and in California, when unions want,
they generally get. California approve the higher minimum just for
fast food workers.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
My workers, Wait, did this.

Speaker 40 (57:06):
But what they really did was lose nearly ten thousand
fast food.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Job What yeah, they lost jobs. What did you think
was going to happen out of curiosity when government wants
to do things like price control, rent control, things of
that nature. What did you think was going to happen
when you start putting these things in place that there

(57:31):
isn't going to have some sort of knock on effect.
This is what happens, right, the consequences of your good intentions.
Who does that help? Well, it feels good, great? Does
it help?

Speaker 41 (57:47):
Pizza Hot preemptively laid off twelve hundred delivery drivers like
Michael o'hada.

Speaker 9 (57:52):
Well, what's the point of the raise if you don't
have a job anymore.

Speaker 40 (57:54):
The new law also caused prices to rise.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
A reporter ask Governor new.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
Song, can Californians expect the prices of their McDonald's and.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Starbucks to go out?

Speaker 4 (58:02):
I've heard that rhetoric before and it didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
But it did happen.

Speaker 41 (58:06):
McDonald's, Chipotle, and Starbucks already saying they planned to raise
prices to offset the rising labor costs.

Speaker 40 (58:12):
And there was other Damn. Some restaurants said we're no
longer hiring. Others just closed. The owner of this restaurant text.

Speaker 5 (58:18):
It couldn't survive the mandated wage increases.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Oh jeez, But what do you mean you should have right?
Everybody should be forced to pay more for workers just
in a specific area, and you should force customers to
what either eat the rising cost if you will, for
lack of a better term, or you should lose because

(58:45):
in theory, and this is what government takes a lot
of places. You're not there to run a business. You're
there to keep people employed and to make them happen. Oh,
that's that that shouldn't be right.

Speaker 40 (58:56):
Now that the twenty dollars minimums take out effects.

Speaker 42 (58:59):
Restaurants in the state have increased prices by ten percent
faster than all other states.

Speaker 40 (59:05):
A cup of Starbucks coffee may not cost fifteen percent
more Chipotle chicken burrito eight percent more.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Thank you for making this happen.

Speaker 40 (59:14):
How can California's politicians be so foolish? If you force
people to raise wages, they'll either raise prices, cut jobs,
or replace workers with machines.

Speaker 43 (59:25):
Almost everything here is made by machines.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
The fries my robot called Flippy, Oh Flipy the robot.
At least he's got a job. Trust me. Eventually they'll
figure out a way to charge you. Attacks on the
robot for stealing your job.

Speaker 10 (59:43):
Fifteen in Seattle is just a beginning.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
We have ano to.

Speaker 8 (59:48):
Win increase the minimum wages, having an opposite.

Speaker 19 (59:50):
Effect, costing thousands of jobs and actually hurting low income workers.

Speaker 43 (59:54):
It's really presented by minimum wage advocates as a win win.
It's a win win for employers, it's a win win
for workers.

Speaker 8 (01:00:02):
And you know, there are no negatives.

Speaker 24 (01:00:03):
But there are negatives politicians that have no sense whatsoever
about what it means to small businesses like us.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
And they don't because the thing is, they don't care
about your business. They don't they care about the voters
that will vote them into power. And if telling the
voters I'm going to fix your problems, I'm going to
solve the issues, and in doing so, you will continue
to be loyal to me and cast your vote to me.

(01:00:32):
And if these people go away because they can't afford
it anymore, the scapegoat for them is they're evil and bad.
It's greed. They're lying to you. Those numbers are fake,
they're all fake. Nobody lost their jobs, in fact, more
jobs than ever. Nobody's done this. Everybody's happier than ever before. Well,

(01:00:54):
why don't you have a job, and they get you
to believe. Well, it's because these people over here and bad.

Speaker 41 (01:01:00):
That's why lift up the minimum waged at least fifteen
dollars an hour.

Speaker 40 (01:01:04):
It's easy to see why a higher minimum wage is
so popular.

Speaker 8 (01:01:08):
On the surface, you think, oh, this is a great idea.

Speaker 40 (01:01:10):
Because it raises some people's wages.

Speaker 22 (01:01:13):
Everybody deserves a living wage.

Speaker 40 (01:01:15):
But while it helps some, it harms many others, especially
young people who may now not be offered their first job.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
I'm fourteen. It'd be very difficult for me to find
a job. My labor wouldn't be worth fifteen dollars an hour.

Speaker 40 (01:01:28):
If only politicians were as smart as those kids.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
And that's a big thing. What's your labor worth? It's
a balancing act. I bring you in. You've got no experience, Okay,
I give you twenty dollars an hour. You're giving me
three dollars an hour back because you're learning. So I'm
out seventeen dollars an hour. Over Here, this person is

(01:01:53):
giving me twenty five bucks an hour, but because I
have to offset that, I can only give them twenty
bucks an hour. So you guys are making the same
now over here, though Flippy's doing a damn good job.
That's why. How many of you have been into restaurants
lately where they've got the kiosks. I've been two in

(01:02:15):
the last two weeks where they no longer have humans
doing stuff kiosk, only the humans are making stuff in
the back. Nature will find a way, That's all I'm saying.
Nature will find a way. It sounds good twenty bucks
an hour, but if it hurts the low skilled employee

(01:02:42):
or the employee with no experience, so you decide I'm
not going to have a low skilled employee or somebody
with no experience, I can't afford it. You didn't help anybody.
You hurt. And what I'll hear from people who are
text in is, oh, you don't want people to have
a living wage. I remind you fast food was never

(01:03:06):
intended for you to raise a family of four on.
It was never intended to be that minimum wage was
never intended to be that three two, three, five, three eight,

Chad zach Abram, chief investment Officer Board joins us talk
the economy. It's the Chad Benson.

Speaker 42 (01:04:37):
Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 10 (01:04:52):
It's Chad Benson that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Time of the week.

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
We've talked about the accountmies, what's going on in the economy,
we're talking about Zach Abram, chief investment officer Board, Apple
as friend of the show, sponsored the show, and what
the hell is going on?

Speaker 22 (01:05:04):
Man?

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
Last week we were talking about this could be the
end of the world, or at least a lot of
people are now. It's like consumer spending is things look rosy?
We're talking about rake cuts? Is that was our soft
landing more of a speed pump.

Speaker 44 (01:05:17):
I mean, look, whenever the market has a freak out
like it did the last week and a half two
weeks ago, you got to pay attention. You know, I
remember you and I talking at the time. We really
thought it had a lot less to do with macroeconomic
and even political stuff, and we just thought I had
to do with the unwind of basically shorting small and
mid cap stocks and going along the tech names.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
Right.

Speaker 22 (01:05:36):
Honestly, I will say.

Speaker 44 (01:05:38):
That the economic news that came out today was probably
a little better than we were thinking. You know, I
think the economy is slowing. And look, man, I I
tend to have a natural bearish bias that I try
to be aware of, right, just because at the end
of the day, it's not.

Speaker 22 (01:05:53):
About being right, it's about getting it right.

Speaker 44 (01:05:55):
And you know, I'll be the first to point out
weaknesses or issues that I see.

Speaker 22 (01:06:00):
The economy is slowing.

Speaker 44 (01:06:01):
There's not the data there to suggest a recession, and
we didn't think it was like that a week and
a half ago. And I actually think the way that
things are setting up, Chad, I think you've got a
pretty good setup for a really really aggressive rip in
the year end here in equity prices. And the reason
I say that is retail spending is still really strong.
The FED is going to cut that is baked into

(01:06:23):
the cake. You're cutting into a strong economy, where again
it's not strong in the sense that it was like
three years ago.

Speaker 22 (01:06:31):
It's not strong in real terms, but we can't really
look at it that way, right If the economy.

Speaker 44 (01:06:37):
Is strong for natural reasons, or the economy is strong
because our government's insane it's just burning money. You know,
the results are the same, right, So I think it's
a time where I want to own outrageously expensive and
speculative stuff.

Speaker 22 (01:06:49):
But what has happened over the last year and a half.

Speaker 44 (01:06:52):
We have probably bought more new positions in the last
two or three weeks than we have at any time
in the last two years. Reason why is a we
didn't see the significant economic weakness.

Speaker 22 (01:07:03):
We certainly certainly saw the potential of it.

Speaker 44 (01:07:05):
But that whole trend where the only stocks that have
run have been the Magnificent seven over the last year,
it's created a lot of really good buying opportunities and
a lot of really good companies. They're not the things
that are Jim Cramer's talking about. They're not the stuff
that's on the you know, that's that's making the nightly news.
But you know, even if you think a period of
economic weakness is coming along and you're buying companies at

(01:07:28):
you know, twelve thirteen, fourteen times earnings that are growing
revenue at fifteen to twenty percent a year, it doesn't
guarantee you that you've gotten the bottom.

Speaker 22 (01:07:35):
But you know, if you're buying a.

Speaker 44 (01:07:36):
Really good company, that's growing at fifteen to twenty percent
a year, and you're buying it for twelve or thirteen
times earnings. I mean, I'll take that, you know, even
if we're going into economic weakness.

Speaker 22 (01:07:44):
So look, there's a lot of things that could go wrong.

Speaker 44 (01:07:47):
This market is vastly overinflated, but you know, there's parts
of it that aren't. And there's great companies that are
not expensive right now. And again they're not the ones
that everybody's talking about. They're not everybody's darlings. But if
you know where to look, there there's great stuff out there,
and I think a lot of it has a recession
priced in and you're just not seeing that in the data.

Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
Talking to Zach Abram, chief investment officer Bullard Capital, I
think it's evident that there's going to be a rate cut.
What are you looking for it's going to be? Is
it going to be quarters, is it going to be half?
What's your sense?

Speaker 44 (01:08:18):
If I had to guess, I think the easiest thing
for the FED to do is I think the thing
that would make the most sense would be twenty five
basis points. If you stuck a gun in my head,
I'd probably bet fifty and the only reason why I
bet fifty is you've got to understand the dynamics of
the market, and I haven't checked right now.

Speaker 22 (01:08:36):
So don't take this. Nobody take this to the bank.

Speaker 44 (01:08:38):
I'm not sure about this, but I believe the market
is pricing in fifty. The FED has only gone against
the market. So whatever interest rate futures were pricing in
what we call infrastrightforwards, whatever they were pricing in for
the last twenty five years, the FED has gone with
that number, whether it's a cut or a raise, every

(01:08:59):
single time except one for the last twenty five years.
So whatever rate futures are pricing in the day up
to the cut, you're running a ninety eight percent chance
that that's going to be the numbers what you're not
going to see. And the one thing that I do
think is a bit concerning. I don't think you're going
to get anywhere near the amount of rate cuts that
people were thinking you were going to get sixty days ago, right,

(01:09:20):
And there is a dynamic, and I think it's kind
of crazy, you know, wed in a weird way. It
does make sense if people are expecting rate cuts due
to a weaker economy, you're going to see the Magnificent
Seven get bid, right, And the reason why is everybody
thinks that they're you know, they're they're undefeatable, right they
And to a large degree, you know, there's definitely some

(01:09:42):
stuff to back that up. But for instance, let's say
you go through a mild recession, I wouldn't see I
wouldn't expect to see Amazon or Google's earnings to really
take a hit, right, And you can't really say that
for a lot of companies. But now you've got a
situation where clearly the recessionary fears of two weeks ago
were overblown. Those stocks have been going through the roof

(01:10:02):
without the production or their earnings to really back those
moves up. And I think a big part of that
was really big rate cut expectations due to economic weakness.
Now I'm looking around at all this other stuff that
got blown up or got completely left in the dust
while the Magnificent Seven was just doing its moronic melt up.

Speaker 22 (01:10:20):
I think the setup looks really good for a lot
of that other stuff.

Speaker 44 (01:10:23):
So yeah, it's definitely it's still very much a complicated background.
But the other thing people have to keep in mind.
Let's say we do finally get that recession.

Speaker 22 (01:10:30):
What's the FED going to do?

Speaker 44 (01:10:31):
They're gonna cut If that doesn't work, what's the.

Speaker 22 (01:10:33):
FED in the US government going to do.

Speaker 44 (01:10:34):
They're probably going to reinstitute quantitative easing. If that doesn't work,
what are they going to do? They're gonna send out checks, right,
And I firmly believe that you've crossed the rubicon as
far as that's concerned, meaning because US consumers have seen
checks mailed out in meaningful amounts during an economic crisis.
I don't think the US consumer is prepared to deal

(01:10:54):
with seven or eight percent unemployment because if an election
cycle's coming up, somebody's going to come out promising to
do what we did during COVID and they're going to
get elected. So I'm not saying stocks can't go down,
but as long as we are facing issues that printed
money can fix, I just don't think you're going to
see a long I just don't think you're going to
see a really long down cycle, and not for good reasons,

(01:11:18):
not due to the strength of the American economy, not
due to American exceptionalism, just because this is what we
do now. We don't tolerate markets not going higher for everybody,
and we will compromise our future to pay for better
stock prices today.

Speaker 22 (01:11:33):
And we've shown that over and over again.

Speaker 44 (01:11:34):
So until that dynamic changes, you probably need to buy
every growth scare that you have. You know, still pay
attention to fundamentals and valuations and things like that. But
I'll tell you right now, and I could be one
hundred percent wrong, and please, nobody out there trade on
this information.

Speaker 22 (01:11:49):
Nobody including me, knows what's going to happen.

Speaker 44 (01:11:51):
I actually think that you've got a really good setup
for that blowoff top that we were talking about, meaning economy.
Economic numbers came in stronger than anybody who's expected. Retail
sales have picked up, and then the Fed's is going
to cut rates.

Speaker 22 (01:12:03):
So wow, the last time they cut was ninety eight.

Speaker 44 (01:12:06):
The last time they cut into strength was ninety eight,
and we all know what happened then. So I think
you could see an absolute ripper of a rally into
the end of the year.

This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 25 (01:13:33):
Thursday, five people were charged and two arrested, a doctor
named Salvador Placentia and a woman known as the Kenemine,
Queen of Los Angeles.

Speaker 35 (01:13:40):
These defendants took advantage of mister Perry's addiction issues w
enriched themselves.

Speaker 25 (01:13:44):
US attorney Martinez Strada says they supplied Perry with dozens
of vials of ketemine in just a few short weeks,
charging fifty five thousand dollars for a couple hundred dollars
worth of drugs. Perry's living assistant was also charged for
getting the drugs and shooting him up.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
Yeah, horrible. Remember when that happened and these people took
advantage of it. Now the doctor has said, hey, I
did everything legal. I didn't do anything illegal. I could
prescribe him I did did he price goug probably a
couple hundred dollars worth of vials for fifty five grand.
The ketamine queen, who is I guess being looked at
for twenty nineteen overdose. There's some issues there. There is.

(01:14:20):
There's no doubt about that on what they're gonna do
with her, and she faces a long time in jail.
But here's the thing. Ketamine is legit. It is It
is legit.

Speaker 34 (01:14:31):
Ketamine is being legitimately used as psychiatric treatment all over America,
legally administered through ivs and lozenges and nose sprays. This
is not on the same level as fentanyl and heroin
and other opioids. This is a schedule three drug basically
on par with anabolic steroids in terms of illegality. So

(01:14:52):
the punishment for possession and selling of this particular narcotic
is not nearly as severe as some of the others.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Now some of them face life in jail because of
the death, So selling them, having them, it's bad, but
not going to get you in jail forever. Supplying people
and them dying, well, that's an issue right there. Top
of all of that, though, because I got a lot
of people, what the hell is Kennedy, what's to do for?
In people in Hollywood? And it's been around for a while.

(01:15:21):
It's been known that is for some people, especially with depression,
how long it could take when it comes to just
the regular antidepressants and all these kind of things. But
it's more than just that. Some people think it's a
miracle in the way that it works. Listen to this doctor.

Speaker 17 (01:15:35):
The average antidepressant takes about two months to produce a
reduction in symptoms. Ketamine produces those same kinds of improvements
within twenty four hours in many people.

Speaker 4 (01:15:47):
You twenty four hours. Think about that. Think about if
you know people, maybe you've been on antidepressants, you have
fiddle fart around with them because you don't know how
much you're supposed to take. They increase it, they decrease it.

Speaker 43 (01:16:00):
It.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Maybe one you think might work and it gives you
too many side effects. The other one doesn't work the
way you wanted to. This is one of those kind
of one size fits all for a lot of people,
and you're not playing around with it and adjusting it
for months. You do it on a Monday, and by
Tuesday afternoon you have a different Like reset your brain.

(01:16:24):
Kamala give them a big speech about the economy today.
She can talk about all her success in the economy,
et cetera, et cetera, and it should be an easy
win for the Republicans. In Trump, there should be an
absolutely easy win socialism, which is what she's pushing out there,
Hugo Chavez Maduro, like price controls, rent controls, government in

(01:16:47):
your life, bad blar should be easy to overcome. The
problem with Trump is trump messaging. Yesterday, even I thought
to myself, you go out, you do this thing with
you know, you got all the cheerios and all the
snacks behind you, and eggs and bacon, and you know
you got the stuff, and you're gonna show how much
all this stuff is gone up and it's all that
should be easy. And then you know, well, you go

(01:17:11):
and you do something, and you think to yourself, was
that even necessary?

Speaker 45 (01:17:13):
Miriam in remarks it is Bedminster, New Jersey golf Club.
Donald Trump paid tribute to Miriam Addelson, a long time
GOP mega donor, in twenty eighteen, he gave her the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Speaker 18 (01:17:24):
That's the highest award you can get as a civilian.

Speaker 45 (01:17:26):
Trump compared it to the Medal of Honor, awarded for
conspicuous gallantry. Then he said, it's actually much better than.

Speaker 18 (01:17:32):
That because they've been hit so many times by bullets
or they're dead.

Speaker 45 (01:17:36):
Online democrats called that part of a pattern of Trump
denigrating service members who've been wounded, killed, or captured.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
It's stupid, is what it is. It's outright stupid. It
boggles the mind. He just it frustrates. You should be frustrated,
even if you support Trump. And by the way, two
years ago, if I would have said something, you know,
my frustration like this, the amount of MAGA that would
come after me was a lot. I hear from a few,

(01:18:07):
but I hear from a lot that are like, I'm
frustrated as you are. Why doesn't he listen? I'm angry
as you are. Why doesn't he listen? She's rolling out
insane things today. Price controls. That's your fix for inflation.
Price controls. You're gonna make it so supply and demand
are gonna be what. It's gonna be easier, it's gonna

(01:18:29):
be better based on government regulation and intervention, no chance
and out, it's going to be ten times worse. See
every place that's ever tried to do this before.

Speaker 36 (01:18:39):
So Santa, let me just read a quick passage from
a piece of the Washington Post this morning and ID
that writes, quote, it's hard to exaggerate how bad this
policy is. It is in all but name, a sweeping
set of government enforced price controls across every industry, not
only foods. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices
or profit levels far off Washington bureaucrats would the FTC

(01:19:02):
would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio,
the acceptable price it can charge for milk. I'm curious
how you respond to that from the Washington Post and
who exactly decides when a price at the grocery store
in Ohio is excessive.

Speaker 4 (01:19:17):
Who gets to decide that. I'm curious. There's Willie Guys
this morning on Morning Joe and he's talking to Senator
Bob Casey, and they're talking about this, like, this is
the Washington Post. This isn't the New York Post, this

(01:19:38):
isn't Breitbart, the Daily Wire, this is the Washington Post,
going yeah, this is a bad idea, Like this is
a bad, bad idea, but they want control. Hey, things
aren't going so well. We think it's because of evil,
greedy corporations. So the best thing for you to do

(01:20:00):
is to give all your power to us.

Speaker 11 (01:20:01):
Well's that it's really not at the grocery store level.
This is at the corporate.

Speaker 9 (01:20:05):
Level, Willie. They've been they've been making record profits.

Speaker 11 (01:20:08):
We've never seen the kind of profits in corporate America the.

Speaker 9 (01:20:11):
Last couple of years.

Speaker 11 (01:20:12):
And when they're doing that, they're they're bragging about increasing prices.

Speaker 9 (01:20:17):
So my point is that we should.

Speaker 11 (01:20:19):
Give the federal government the power to investigate just just
run of the mill price gouging, and you give the
people an opportunity to fight back against them. As I said,
if they're not engaged in corporate price couching, they got
nothing to worry about.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
Well, they investigated Kroger. So they go to Kroger and
they say, you are evil. We have the government. We're
here to make sure you're evil. Isn't more evil than
usual because you're back there laughing at the little people?
So they have to see goes on in there, go
on it. Look at this, Give us your box. We're

(01:20:57):
gonna site. Oh we got you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
Now we got wi you.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
What'd you guys find that? Nothing? Excuse me, you wouldn't
find anything. And Bob Casey says, we want the right
and the ability to go and to do this. You've
already got that right. You've already got that ability, you're
already doing it. You want the control. Some of the

(01:21:23):
other things that she's throwing out there today, twenty five
thousand dollars subsity first time home buyers child tax credit
that would ride six thousand per child families for the
first year of the baby's life. JD. Vance wanted to
move that from two thousand to five thousand, and then
she went price is right, She's like five thousand and one.
Elimination of medical debt for millions of American The first

(01:21:45):
ever ban on price gouging cap on prescription drug cost. Again,
who gets to decide what the price gouge? It is?
More from Senator Casey.

Speaker 11 (01:21:56):
This is long, I think long overdue. People are tired
of just accepting higher prices.

Speaker 9 (01:22:02):
Now.

Speaker 11 (01:22:03):
Consumers obviously have a lot of power here, and because
I've pointed it out for the better part of nine
or ten months now, people are putting pressure and some
some of that public pressure is working on some of
these big corporations.

Speaker 9 (01:22:15):
But look, they've had it. They've had it pretty good.

Speaker 11 (01:22:17):
They've they've got they got the biggest tax cut imaginable
along with the billionaires. That's why they're attacking me in
this campaign. They don't they know I won't vote for
their tax cuts, and they also know that I'm not
gonna not going to give up on prosecuting this case
on corporate price couching.

Speaker 9 (01:22:35):
And people get it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
People get it. People get it just out of curiosity.
It's just me, what's this cost? Because all the stuff
they're rolling out is very raw, raw, no cost, and
no figuring out who gets to implement what what kind
of bureaucracy we're going to have? She wants to cut

(01:22:58):
taxes for the little class. So do I want to
raise on the corporations? Don't do it silly, it's stupid,
it's ridiculous. Our corporate tax were so ridiculous. Look at
the rest of the world that socialism. Ah, so settle
down there, We'll raise money on the wealthy. Do you

(01:23:20):
think the wealthy really cares about that? Honestly, do you
think they do? They don't. The wealthy doesn't care about that.
They just go whatever. Talked about it last hour. I've
got friends who are stupid wealthy, like stupid wealthy, and
they still won't give me any of their money. Super sucks,

(01:23:40):
but I'm trying. Uh but you know what they tell me,
You've raisse it two hundred percent. I got guys, we
find a way. Never understood that. If I'm the Republicans,
I'm like, look, you guys, do need to pay your
fair share? Wing quink. We know you're not. We already
know you're going to pay a lot comparatively to the
average person. But no matter what I did, boom fires

(01:24:01):
the Republicans, I'd walk out there going we are gonna
make them pay their fair share. We are going to
and we're gonna lower it on the middle class. They
know they're gonna get their tax breaks because it's written
into all of this insanity that they've built these giant
tax codes, and they'll figure it out. You get the

(01:24:21):
middle class, it's not that hard. But the price gouging
and all this kind of stuff that they're gonna roll with,
it's ridiculous and it's scary. Government wants to be the
central part of your life and they're gonna dictate this
insanity that is socialism. By the way, see Venezuela. And
if you need an example of what's going on in Venezuela,

(01:24:45):
ask one of the God knows how many folks have
come here from there?

Speaker 9 (01:24:52):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):

Speaker 4 (01:26:38):
Now it's time to find out what's trending.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
What's trending? Sign James de.

Speaker 12 (01:26:51):
Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Serenell me.

Speaker 7 (01:27:02):
Lot trupping.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
Let's find out what's trending on the old interwebs on
this fry yay. Let's start over with Twitter today. Nancy
Mace played a little bit of it earlier. She was
on a panel on CNN. She said kamala instead of
kamala or kamala instead of kamala, and then there was
E're a racist, and then the battle ensued and ugh, jeez,

(01:27:32):
why can't we just all get along? Medal of Honor
Bruno Mars, Trending Alien Scooby Doo, post Malone, Jack Russell,
lead singer and co founder of Great White, My My My,
I'm Once Bitten twice, Shy Baby past wed age sixty three,

(01:27:56):
Cheerios because of Trump yesterday, all trending on Twitter. Quiet
day on Twitter, it's early though, Head over to Yeahoo,
Atlanta Braves, jd Vance, Jack Russell, Colin Kaepernick. Johnny Wactor
was an actor. Johnny Wacktor, the actor who was killed

(01:28:19):
famous for being in general hospital, was murdered and they
arrested four people yesterday on his birthday, actually what would
have been I think it's thirty eighth to thirty ninth birthday.
Taylor Swift, Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs. He's in the
news and trending because of a very interesting and bizarre

(01:28:40):
situation where he's offered to pay one point five million
dollars to free a woman who's been sentenced to nine
years in prison for stealing one point five million dollars
of chicken wings. What Donald Trump and Joe Biden all
trending three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three act che Benson shows, your Twitter tweet edis

(01:29:02):
text the program right here on The Chad Benson Show
and finally over to Google. Matthew Perry number one trending thing,
obviously the arrest yesterday of several people involved or at
least people that are allegedly involved in the death of
Matthew Perry. Sam Ponder ESPN was let go yesterday. Jack Russell,

(01:29:26):
Greg Ken, I love saying jet Beady Baby passed away
as well.

Speaker 46 (01:29:31):
Sixty eight year old Vera Liddall was charged with theft
and operating a criminal enterprise. She was the food service
director for the district. According to CORE records, Liddell is
accused of ordering more than eleven thousand cases of chicken
wings through the district between August and November of twenty
twenty one, but those wings never made it to students.
Laddell was hired as a food services director despite multiple

(01:29:53):
bankruptcies in her past. She was sentenced to nine years
in prison.

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
Nine years and that's when Joan says, I will pay
one point five million dollars to free her. Take it.
You know what they you know why they caught her.
This is interesting. I find this the reason they caught
her because it shows you the ineffectiveness of government. It
was took forever for them, through their accounting, to figure out,

(01:30:20):
oh my god, we've why are we spend three hundred
thousand dollars more than we should have. The reason they
caught her, it's always the bone.

Speaker 25 (01:30:27):
Kids.

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
They she ordered chicken wings with the bone. You can't
serve kids chicken wings with bones in them. They have
to be boneless wings. That's how they caught her. Essentially,
three two, three, five, three eight twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. That is your Twitter, your
Instagram and all of the other things. Little sound salads,

(01:30:49):
some stories we missed throughout the week. We're gonna touch
on those sts forget your finally Friday sounds as well.
It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 47 (01:30:55):
Show, The Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 10 (01:31:21):
This is Chad Benson boning for.

Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
We're not going back, boning for their future. We're not
going that, just like a tree that's finding my where
not going.

Speaker 9 (01:31:44):
That.

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
Right there is a horrible group of people singing a
song about how much they love Kamala and how they're
not going back. They refuse to go back. They're never
going back. I don't know what they're not going back to,
but they're not. Just let you guys know that that
time of the week. Well the thing called sound salad,
some of the stuff that maybe we missed this week
or we talked about briefly, or update you on some stuff.

(01:32:07):
Let's start in London because this week was Pakistani Independence Day,
so in areas of London they shut everything down for
three days. People are not thrilled by it.

Speaker 48 (01:32:19):
You're talking about closing major roads for three days in
some areas for a foreign country's independence day. Now I
would have the if it was Polish people, Romanians Day
or the French National Day and we were shutting our roads.
So before anyone tries to go, oh, he's racist or
he is Lamophobic, no, this gives me the arm. Whatever

(01:32:41):
country this would be, it's wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Closed roads, closed.

Speaker 48 (01:32:45):
Businesses affect a lot of jobs and a lot of
people our economy.

Speaker 4 (01:32:49):
Yes, people are pissed. And why it's the two tier policing.
They see if you're an immigrant and you're over here,
you can do all of these things, including not becase
I'm part of the country. We've talked about this and
this is growing today. Scandinavians set up a new gang
police squad. Why because gang violence has gotten out of

(01:33:11):
control in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark. They've had enough. What
is it? What do you think it is? Crazy asylum
laws that have allowed immigration to happen in such a
way that now what you're getting is groups of people
who want all the goodies that the Scandinavians are willing
to hand out, but they want to be no part

(01:33:32):
of the Scandinavian culture and they've basically walled themselves off
in certain areas and now there's gangs that are set
up and they've had enough of it. Continue Adam Brooks.
When it comes to London.

Speaker 48 (01:33:44):
Also groups of people letting off fireworks in the street illegally,
they won't be nits, they won't have facial recognition on them.
Cars beeping their homes till twelve maybe one night. Would
that be allowed from England fans? No, it wouldn't. I
think this is two tier policing yet again, and I
think it's a disgrace.

Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
Yeah, a lot of people feel that way. It's a
little sound solid here. We're having fun. New study about age.
Couple of them here. First, let's talk about when you
start to feel old.

Speaker 43 (01:34:15):
US study out this morning on aging pinpoints two specific
ages when our bodies go through physical decline, age forty
four and age sixty. Researchers say it's around those two
birthdays when our bodies can see significant changes in metabolism,
cardiovascular health and immune function.

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Nah, crap, So forty four and sixty you start to
feel it? Oh, you do feel it? How many of
you listening? I taking a nap and you woke up
and like, my neck hurts, it can't move. Too many
of us is what I'm trying to tell you. Aging
is not for the week. Okay, speaking of aging.

Speaker 8 (01:34:52):
Ladies, American women live an average of eighty years. That's
five years less compared to thirteen other high income nations
a In a study by the Commonwealth Fund, it found
women in the US are more likely to take multiple
prescriptions on a regular basis and to have the highest
rates of mental health and social needs. Disparities are even
greater among women of color. The US is also the

(01:35:14):
only country in the study with a considerable amount of
uninsured women.

Speaker 4 (01:35:18):
Yeah, never mentioned a dude there by the way, because
we die younger than women. But we've got issues here.
There's no doubt about that. So you think about it.
If you live in Italy, you may live to be
eighty five on average. You live in here eighty what's
going on? Some of it is our diet, because what
they do in other countries is although they're catching up

(01:35:38):
to us, what do they do. They don't have the weight,
They're more active than we are, they don't have the
sedentary lifestyle. It's a lot that goes into that. Oh,
if you need a job, the dams are hiring.

Speaker 10 (01:35:50):
One of my followers received a casting call or the
Democratic Party.

Speaker 49 (01:35:55):
So apparently Kamala Harris has been using literal casting call
to recruit supporters.

Speaker 22 (01:36:02):
It's to recruit perceived supporters.

Speaker 49 (01:36:04):
People have been receiving emails from a company called Casting
Networks claiming that they're looking for real people for a
Democratic event. This website's tagline literally states, are you a
performer looking for your next role?

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
Really?

Speaker 9 (01:36:20):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:36:20):
What? It says? Let's see, I'm here looking at it.
Bo yah, there's a lot of that stuff. What he said,
search roles that are fit for you, build your profile?
What they wouldn't.

Speaker 49 (01:36:30):
People were opening this email to find that the name
of this casting project was called People from the South
of USA. It says that you can be from the
ages of fourteen to ninety, any gender, any ethnic appearance,
and they'll even pay for your meals and your transportation.
It says people from the South Regional accents encouraged.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
What does that mean?

Speaker 22 (01:36:55):
But here's the kicker.

Speaker 49 (01:36:56):
You are being cast as a real person who supports
it's the Democratic Party.

Speaker 4 (01:37:02):
The party say, by the way, there's a couple other
things I'm looking at. If if you're a white male
with brown hair, seven foot to seven eight Happy Gilmore
Too casting for that one more.

Speaker 49 (01:37:15):
No acting right, because if I want genuine people to
support my political party genuinely, I'm going to use the
same exact company that's casting for Happy Gilmore Too. It says,
we will pay for your flight and expenses. Now we
can just make the claim that she's treating these supposed
supporters and every other unfortunately naive, so as if they're

(01:37:37):
in or watching some.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
Big, dramatic, goofy reality TV show.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
You're fired, You're fired, sry, You're fired, I say fired.
We move on and sound salad. Remember the judge discipline
that young girl for fall asleep in a.

Speaker 22 (01:37:51):
Court Would you want someone to treat your child like that?

Speaker 24 (01:37:53):
The distraught mother of Eva Goodman is speaking out after
a Detroit judge with the fifteen year old in handcuffs
during a field trip visit to his courtroom wall. He's
now been temporarily removed from the bench and will undergo
training after the incident, But Goodman's mom is setting the
record straight.

Speaker 4 (01:38:13):
I'm a single mother. I'm trying my.

Speaker 24 (01:38:16):
Bess, explaining her daughter was tired because their family does
not have a permanent home right now.

Speaker 4 (01:38:22):
Uh, which sucks. But all the more reason in some
ways to play this scared straight because you're a single
mom who's struggling and you don't have a place to live.
What do you think is going to happen to that girl?
Where do you think her path is headed to? Out
of curiosity? And this judge says, look, I'm gonna mentor her.

(01:38:47):
Sometimes that's scared straight. It ain't a bad thing, but
he's going to pay the price in today's world of
being a little too tough. And finally, mister quaid Randy Qui,
not Randy quid Dennis quid On with Rogan talking about
his movie Reagan.

Speaker 50 (01:39:07):
With Reagan right now, the movie we're going through a
censorship is happening to us through Facebook. Facebook banned advertising
a lot of the podcasts over the last couple of months.

Speaker 14 (01:39:17):
Really just because it's a is it a positive film
about Reagan?

Speaker 50 (01:39:21):
It's a bio follows him from when he was a
boy in Dixon all the way through when he said
goodbye to the American people, when he was diagnosed for Alzheimer's.
It's a fight against communism, you know, which he fought
all of his life. They the reason being was that
the content in it was an attempt to sway an election.
I mean, the last time I heard Reagan was on

(01:39:42):
the ballot forty years ago. And to me, just the
act of banning or censoring that material as you were
talking about, is an attempt to sway an election.

Speaker 4 (01:39:51):
Yeah, one hundred percent. And let's not forget that Harris's
people have been buying ads, using real stories and then
changing the headlines as if the paper's endorsing stuff. Remember
what I said, Trump is going up against a machine,

(01:40:11):
and that machine includes social media, the media, the Democratic Party,
long before he ever gets to take on VP Hares

Speaker 25 (01:41:41):
To this same right, will people run into the box
office for Alien Romulus, the seventh film and the Aliens franchise,
which dates back to nineteen seventy nine. This one a
standalone movie that doesn't tie into the others, and it's
looking to make somewhere between thirty and fifty million dollars
this opening weekend. That's a wide margin, but tracking has
been rather unreliable this year. Whatever of the case, it
should be enough to beat Blake lively as it ends

(01:42:02):

with a great song and some of those sounds.

Speaker 9 (01:42:48):
My fault you for the late start.

Speaker 11 (01:42:49):
We unfortunately had a massive distributed denial of service attack.

Speaker 12 (01:42:53):
Misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue. It's
an America issue.

Speaker 37 (01:42:58):
We'll roll the White House for the President to.

Speaker 4 (01:43:01):
Have in sort of stopping at her.

Speaker 14 (01:43:03):
I've got a hundred dollars walking in my hole.

Speaker 13 (01:43:07):
I knew how I see it in Burdi's burning hold
right through my pocketing and do my skin. Come on
in the morning, I'll be brown king. It's fining, dead, fire, down, freezing.
I've done my motor running again.

Speaker 7 (01:43:25):
Basically, what they're asking for is fifteen hundred dollars for
anti Trump content.

Speaker 8 (01:43:29):
On TikTok, her on TikTok. She is killing it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:32):
Oh, I'm not gonna let somebody get eat by a bear.

Speaker 14 (01:43:35):
I got a sugar baby down the road and she's
sitting on ready and rocked in the hogle.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
Look at circle Stone on night.

Speaker 13 (01:43:45):
We'll be working all our doing all her oung things. Right,
it's firing, dead, fire, freezing. I've done my motor running
way again.

Speaker 22 (01:43:56):
I'm Ona Harris as yet to hold a press conference.

Speaker 4 (01:43:59):
It seems like she has time if she wanted to
do an interview. Would it kill you guys to have
a press conference.

Speaker 2 (01:44:05):
Why isn't she had a press conference?

Speaker 17 (01:44:06):
She could do an interview today, I would think, you know,
because she's not out there today.

Speaker 4 (01:44:10):
Why isn't she had a press conference?

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
She's the vice president.

Speaker 22 (01:44:12):
She can handle the questions.

Speaker 9 (01:44:13):
Why not do it.

Speaker 16 (01:44:14):
I'm not sure the issues were ever central to how
people make up their mind about a president of the
United States.

Speaker 22 (01:44:27):
Wendy A thirty Dunity.

Speaker 13 (01:44:36):
I'm free.

Speaker 22 (01:44:42):
The tick talkers are at it again. They just discovered
raw dogging flights.

Speaker 19 (01:44:46):
Because America isn't just for the whites, it's not just
for the black, it's not just for the Mexicans. Now
it's for everyone around the world.

Speaker 20 (01:44:52):
I think there are enormous problems that mass migration has
created in terms of our culture.

Speaker 21 (01:44:57):
I'm actually going to need to stop for a second.
Some of you may know that I occasionally get affected
by some panic attacks.

Speaker 22 (01:45:04):
People need to breathe. Dadful and offering ruined my kids.

Speaker 23 (01:45:07):
I'm very modest, I'm very mindful. You see my shirt
only a little chee chiau, not my chacho.

Speaker 15 (01:45:13):
This is what I've lived doing my entire life, and
there's a tournament doing it.

Speaker 9 (01:45:17):
I want to do this.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
It's a Vladimir Putin. I said, don't do it.

Speaker 4 (01:45:20):
I told them things what I do, and he said
no way, And I said way. What a crazy week. Indeed,
in another crazy week coming up next week. Of course,
who knows what we're going to get at the Democratic
Convention today, supposedly rolling out the economic plan because we
still have no real plans from the Vice President and

(01:45:43):
what they're going to.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
Do, long on.

Speaker 4 (01:45:47):
Raw ra, short on actual plans to get to all
the great stuff outside of price controls.

Speaker 42 (01:45:54):
Is Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to unveal her plan
to crack down on price gouging at the supermarket.

Speaker 22 (01:46:00):
Donald Trump trying to undercut her message.

Speaker 18 (01:46:02):
Kamala is reportedly proposing communist price controls.

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
She wants price controls, and if they worked, I'd go
along with it too, But they don't work.

Speaker 4 (01:46:10):
They actually have the exact opposite impact and effect.

Speaker 10 (01:46:14):
His comments coming as inflation hits a three year low.

Speaker 4 (01:46:17):
Yeah, a three year low from really really high. We're
not going back to where we were because inflation is
you know, we count on two percent, so it's still
gonna be higher than it was three four years ago.
But let's not forget a three year low is still
on average twenty percent higher. That's a serious issue. You
know it, and I know it. And price controls, as

(01:46:39):
we talked about throughout the day, ain't gonna get it done.
At that time of the show where he teach you
something a little well, stupid information that you don't need
to know, but it's nice to know.

Speaker 22 (01:46:48):
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something.

Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
It's all takes stupid pills this morning. It's the honest ones.
You want to watch out full because you can never predict.

Speaker 22 (01:46:59):
They're gonna do something.

Speaker 4 (01:47:00):
We're incredibly stupid. Now you're the fat, stupid one with
the big mouth.

Speaker 10 (01:47:05):
Is stupid little at time.

Speaker 4 (01:47:08):
You should never underestimize the predictability of stupiditing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
Now it's time for stupid information.

Speaker 4 (01:47:20):
All all this talk about the cost of this and
the cost of that. Some things, though, over time, have
gone down. Clothing, for instance, in the mid twentieth century,
the average Americans spent about twelve percent of their income
on clothing. Today it's about three percent. Bananas, So after
the Civil War, bananas became you know, kind of a

(01:47:40):
cool item, but a luxury item. Back then. Are you
ready for this? One banana cost ten cents about three
dollars and fifty cents in today's dollars. Ooh, I hate bananas. Televisions.
A lot of things that we want are cheaper than
ever before. Get ready for this. RCA debuted its first
color TV in nineteen fifty four or fifteen inch screen,

(01:48:01):
one thousand dollars price tag? What would that be today?
Eleven thousand, six hundred. You can get a sixty five
inch high definition smart TV for less than five hundred
bucks today. Airfare. Carter signed the Air Deregulation Act in
nineteen seventy eight. Deregulation. What did it do? Open up competition?
So are you ready for this? The average airfare in

(01:48:22):
nineteen forty one, if you were going to go to
Los Angeles to Boston and you are sitting in coach
and it was a fifteen hour flight, five thousand dollars
in today's money today about three four hundred bucks. No way,
washing machines, toys, aluminum. We can go on and on.
There's a lot of stuff that's cheaper today. And why

(01:48:44):
is that? In many cases? Deregulation three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three. At Chad Benson Shows, your Twitter,

Solid fun shows This week crazy indeed, my friends crazy indeed.
And next week I have a feeling we're gonna get

(01:49:05):
some wackiness. I do think we're going to get some
chaos on the floor. There's gonna be stuff outside because
the protesters are going to demand a lot and they're
going to be loud about it. And you've got a
lot of delegates inside that are unpledged and those people
are very, very pro Palestinian stop this. Do I think

(01:49:27):
there's gonna be chaos? I have a feeling there's going
to be some chaos, both inside and out. Do I
think it's going to be awful and go back to like,
you know, the riots in Chicago. No, but I think
it's going to be interesting. You guys have a blessed
rest of your week. We will do it again on
Monday as always, Night Night, Jackie.

Speaker 10 (01:49:41):
This is the Chad Benson Show.
