Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Is it about who you liked the best or is
it about the actual issues? That's where we are vibes,
good times, and that person may be nicer than that person,
so they've got my vote, and a lot of people
are like, I'm good with that. But is it about

(00:39):
the issues themselves? Should it be about the issues? I've
always thought it should be about the issues. But Trump's
a meani Yeah, and according to who, according to you,
he says things that are ridiculous. You know what he is,
be honest, it's paining the ass. Says things that are ridiculous,
lies about crap that doesn't need to be lied about

(01:00):
out and at the same time picks fights with a
lot of different people, but is also charming, funny, witty, charismatic.
He's a lot of things. The left makes you think
he's a Nazi. That's what he is. Chet He's a Nazi.
He's a Nassy, I get it. He's a Nazzy, just
like the right ones to make you think. Kamala she's

(01:21):
a communist. She's not a communist. She's a politician that's
a chameleon that will be whatever you need. Her to
be so she can get the job. But these days,
for the low information voters, it's feelings and vibes that
have her rocking and rolling.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Oh my god, we just saw a new poll, this
time from ABC News, IPSOS and The Washington Post. Harris
enjoying a wide favorability advantage over the former president. Forty
six percent see her favorably compared to forty three percent unfavorably. Meanwhile,
Trump is underwater by twenty five points, thirty three.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Percent to fifty eighty.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Post writes this about the Trump campaign strategy quote. With
little chance of improving Trump's standing, Trump's advisors see the
only option as damaging hers.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Ooh, but let me tell you something. There are a
lot of people I know that are Republicans who don't
look at Trump favorably, but we'll vote for Trump. They're like,
I can't stand him. He drives me crazy, He's a
pain in the ass. I think he says stuff that's ridiculous,
all that stuff. Are you going to vote for him?

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Because the policies are the thing I care about. I
don't care about him being my pal, I don't care
about him being my friend. I'm not voting to date him,
to fall in love. I am voting him for him
to go do what we need him to do, which
is to work hard for the American people, to drive
down inflation, to get ourselves out of these endless wars

(02:51):
that we're funding, try to bring some stability back in
areas that we need it. I mean, that should be
what it's about. But he's me. I don't care. I'm
not voting for him to be my pal. So when
I hear still lazy's not favorable. Of course it's not
because even some Republicans like, oh jeez, I know, but

(03:13):
are you going to vote for him?

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Yeah, yeah, I am.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
That's just because, Uh, I like what he does. I
like two dollars gas, and I like you know, inflation
about two percent, and uh, you know, I like those
kind of things. You know, that's that's you know. I
like the fact that we don't have a oh well,
I don't even know if you want to call it
a border at this point in time. That's what I like.

(03:35):
But chat, it's about just being aug swell.

Speaker 7 (03:38):
To the momentum that Vice President Harris had the last
few weeks appears to have stalled, but she retains a
slight edge in both national and battleground state poling. Our
latest poll with IPSOS shows Harris up fifty two forty
six among likely voters. That's basically where the race was
before the Democratic Convention. It's still there now. That is
better than President Biden was looking when he exited the
race a couple weeks back, when he was trailing Nationally.

(03:59):
Out of the major battlegrounds are five point thirty eight.
Polling average now has Harris up just slightly in six
of the seven battleground states. This remains pretty close to
a toss up as we enter this critical stretch, because.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
That's what it is. I said yesterday, guys, we're no
longer talking about states. They're talking about counties and cities.
Last week they were like, there is a city in
Nebraska that may decide this. You're like, what, that's what
we're talking about here. That's how small the margin is.

(04:29):
But I ask you again, is it about likability or
is it about being able to do the job? Is
it about the actual issues or is it about that
person's not him? So that's good.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
If the election is about personal favorability or trust of
the candidates, it now looks like Harris has the edge.
But if it's about the most salient issues for voters,
including those pocketbook issues and questions around public safety, it
remains advantage Trump.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
That's all you need to know. If it's about favorability, well,
it's about her because she's vibing and she's dancing and
everybody likes her and all the stars think she's great.
So that's a wonderful thing. Yeah, but you know, can
she land the plane? I always say that guys, right, like,
would you rather have a pilot? Do you really vibe

(05:20):
with and they're great and everything and you know them,
but they're terrified of flying the why are they a pilot?
And they second guess themselves and they're not you know,
but they're nice? Or would you rather have a pilot
that you're like, this person's awful? I can't stand them, right.

(05:43):
I think she stole twenty bucks out of my wallet.
But one thing I do know is if the wings
fall off the airplane, he's gonna land us safely. Oh. Now,
there's a lot we can go into when it comes
to this, But I just look at this and we'll
talk about it throughout the day. Trump is a lot
of different things. Not a politician. People need to recognize

(06:06):
that he's an entertainer. He is a business person, and
you know, we always talked about it for years, we'd
love to have a business person in the White House.
Trump wasn't a business person like Schultz was from Starbucks.
Thought about running because he had a board to answer to,
he had investors, he had things that Trump's never had.

(06:30):
Trump's always been that, well, you know what, my name's
on the board, my name's on the building, my name's everywhere,
and there's nobody to answer to outside of me. And no,
he's not likable at times, but he's also hilarious at times.
But you have to ask yourself, is this about likability

(06:55):
or is this about issues? For me, it's always about issues.
That's why when some people we'll text me and we'll
talk and chat. And by the way, I try to
do that as much as possible. You know, recognize, I
get a lot of these during the day. I can't
answer every single one of them at the right time.
But I've always thought, to me, it's always about the
job being done, and that's the thing I care about

(07:18):
the most. I don't care about the other stuff. Every
one of us has worked with a awful person, and
if you haven't, you're probably that person. Every one of
us has worked with people that we can't stand, but
they're competent, they get the job done, they kick ass
at what they do. Likability, that's for your husband, your wife,

(07:44):
your friends. I want competence and I want somebody who's
going to do the job, and that should be the
things that matter. We don't often do that in this
country anymore because we are you know, swell. Likability fell
Oh gee golly, And the media has turned on Trump,

(08:06):
and Trump turned on the media, and there's a lot
there with Trump. Again, he's not a politician, but is
he competent enough to do the job. Some of you
can't stand him, Like we've always joked about. He could
save you from drowning and you'd be pissed. He could
cure cancer and nobody would take the shot on the
left because of who he is as a person. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(08:32):
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson shows your
Twitter tweet at his texted program. Coming up, We're going
to talk about dining alone. Are you a loser? No? Wait,
that's not what it's about. No, but there's something bigger
to it, because like that's the big thing people are talking,
people are dining alone. There's something bigger to what is
going on and why people are dining alone. And while

(08:53):
the story he's grabbing headlines and people are chatting about it,
there is something else there that we need to chat about.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
Hey, everybody, I'm down in Baja. We're spending three days
down here. Look what I just called is a beautiful
little lizard. It's called a cape spiny tailed egg. Wanna
these lizards? They're so beautiful. They're this emerald cobblet right now,
almost forty inches long, and they mainly flowers. But they

(10:54):
make great, great pets. I had them when I was
a kid. Don't you wish you had one of these.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I love them, by the way, and they eat a
lot of things, not just flowers. They will eat pretty
much anything, and that includes other animals. But don't skin it.
That's all I'm saying, Robert, Bobby, Bobby, don't skin it. Please.
We know your wont to take things and cut their
heads off, skin them, I don't know whatever, Hang them

(11:22):
on the wall. Let's just this one seems to be fine.
It's not very nice yet, traveling alone? Would you do it?
I have a lot I have never had a problem
with it. One of the big trends right now. And
this is kind of you know what, there's a bigger
thing here because it's a story and it's interesting, But

(11:43):
the bigger thing is alone. We always talk about that.
You know, we've got this loneliness epidemic. Well, why is
that you can go out and talk to people. What's wrong?
People are terrified to talk to other people. And by
the way, people are also weirded out by other people
talking to them, So it's a double blaming. So it's

(12:05):
the new thing.

Speaker 9 (12:06):
Eating alone, a trip to the gym, to the hairdresser,
or some spur of the moment shopping makes sense when
it comes to getting some alone time. But more people
are broadening their list of things to do alone to
include dining, which in this nineteen eighties rom com.

Speaker 10 (12:20):
How Many Alone Alone.

Speaker 9 (12:25):
Wasn't that popular, but times are changing. On Open Table,
a restaurant reservation booking platform, reservations for solo diners rose
by eight percent for solid year through May thirty first,
compared to the twelve months before. The booking platform survey
two thousand consumers over the summer and found sixty percent
of people dined alone in the past year, including sixty

(12:46):
eight percent of Gen Z and millennials.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's the scary part. And it's not that it's because
eating alone is fine. I've done that. I've gone to
the movies Loon. I remember I went when I lived
in England and I was trying my hardest to be
pro soca and flailing and I would have days where
you know, you don't do anything. It's not like it
is now. It's a full time job.

Speaker 11 (13:07):
Now.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Back in the day when I was there, they won
a full time job. It was it was your full
time job. But they didn't they would train. Now they're
training eight ten hours a day. They're doing all this stuff.
It's kind of like what you see with the NFL.
You're there, you're you're you eat there in the in
the morning, the afternoon, sometimes the evenings. We'd have like

(13:27):
Wednesdays off and I'd go to the movies in the
middle day by myself. People get weirded out. You buy yourself? Yeah,
just me, Are you okay? Yeah? I just want to
see Days of Thunder or whatever was playing. I think
it was Days of Thunder. When I was in Scotland.
It was like there was a movie theater with like

(13:48):
one movie and it was like Days of Thunder. I'm like,
I guess I'll go see it again.

Speaker 12 (13:53):
I think everyone should be traveling by themselves.

Speaker 9 (13:55):
Freelance writer around blogger Christina Ford, who travels all the time,
gets it. But she found restaurants in Europe weren't as
friendly to her dining preferences as she'd hoped.

Speaker 13 (14:05):
They don't want a single person who's going to drink
or eat half taking up a table for two. This
happened three places in a row.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, a lot of places don't like that. But places
here don't want somebody sitting there right just having a
little meal, maybe sipping on a drink for several hours
when there's lots of people that could be using that
table who have more, you know, people in their party.
But the bigger thing about this is we're not connecting.

(14:39):
We're not going out, we're not meeting people. We're not
hanging out with each other, especially a younger generation. And
we talk about this all the time. People worry about
nuclear war, they worry about all of this climate change.
You know, what's going to end the Western world as
we know it. We're not going to have any kids.
It's just going to cease to exist. Oh yeah, solo

(15:01):
dining the new big thing.

Speaker 9 (15:02):
But in the US, a record thirty percent of Americans
live alone, choosing to marry later, and less Americans married
with kids, down from sixty seven percent in nineteen seventy.
We asked a couple of solo diners what triggers the trend,
and for them, it's more about the restaurant and staff
that makes them feel at home.

Speaker 14 (15:19):
And it's a nice, easy, really familiar type of situation
where you can enjoy going by yourself.

Speaker 11 (15:29):
Well, I know all the waiters and people who were
the feel who work in the kitchen, So I've been
living in the name of over twenty.

Speaker 12 (15:36):
Eight years now.

Speaker 9 (15:37):
For though, found hope that other restaurants could soon be
viewing parties of one in a different light.

Speaker 13 (15:42):
I went to have lunch at Balthazar, and I sat
down and I ordered my meal by myself, and a
few minutes later, the server came over with a glass
of champagne and I said, oh, I den ordered this,
and they said, oh, this is what we do for
the solo diners.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
And when you heard those people talk about why they
go certain places and why they do things, she's all
about adventure, that lady. The other people were talking about
what it's like family. I know the waiter, i know
the waitress, I know the cook. I'm familiar with them.
They're familiar with me. It's a way to engage with
people when you're alone, so you don't feel alone. I

(16:23):
saw this my daughter. She was scrolling through YouTube watching
the funny videos. One that popped up I thought was
rather interesting. It was it was just had music and
then like words on it. But it was a young woman,
she was probably in her mid twenties. And this old
guy was just sitting there one day and they're eating
at a ray. He was eating at a restaurant and
he was by himself, and she said, hey, can I
sit with you? And it sparked like a friendship and

(16:46):
they've been friends for several years now. People are looking
to engage with other people. People don't know how to
do it. It's not just here by the way, Japan,
Korea South not the North one. Since they've got rid
of arranged marriages and things like that, it has collapsed.

(17:06):
Their population is continuing to do so in a way
that's even worse than ours. One of the big reasons
nobody knows how to talk to each other. There's no engagement.
Very interesting three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other things that are available to you.

(17:28):
I'd love hearing from each and every one. If you've
missed the show, make sure you grab the podcast. It
is the Chad Benson, Chad.

Speaker 15 (17:38):
Such, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
It is not I repeat, it is not and was
not ever a glitch. It is a crime. You have
robbed a bank. If you don't know what I'm talking about.
People figured out, hey, if I write chase a check.
They'll let me have the money immediately, even if that
check is bad. People got excited. Oh boy, I said,

(18:28):
is heavy?

Speaker 16 (18:30):
It's lord.

Speaker 17 (18:31):
Uh no, no.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
You getting.

Speaker 18 (18:41):
You gained three racks, and you better not say nothing
to chase something to chase right now for forty Chase
going for forty, So you gained three racks.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
You better not say nothing.

Speaker 16 (18:52):
What kind of chase man.

Speaker 19 (18:53):
The basis all these people are left with astronomical negative
balances in their chase accounts, ringing dollars.

Speaker 20 (19:00):
It's a negative forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
People are so effing stupid it amazes me. Yet it shouldn't.
By the way, if you want to know what a
rack is, give you guys some slang. Help out some
of you, some white folk who maybe struggle with the
slang of the children, of the kids. A rack is
a grand thousand dollars Young Chris twenty eleven song talking

(19:22):
about racks. A stack's ten grand, a brick one hundred
thousand c note. Obviously, one hundred grant is a fifty
dollars bill, And you can say half yad as a
fifty dollars bill as well. So there you go. You guys, No,
got the lingo down. You people are idiots and going
online and doing what people do now, which is like, ah,

(19:47):
you just committed a crime. Fantastic, what's the first thing
you should do? TikTok people throwing one hundred dollars bills
in the air making it rain. What the f were you?
Are you thinking? You weren't because you think the banks
are evil and bad and you figured out I got
a way and this just doesn't hurt anybody. You robbed

(20:08):
a bank, You're an idiot. I can't explain that enough
to you. I'll slow down. You are a idiot.

Speaker 21 (20:19):
The fact of the matter is we'll always come back
to bite you, and we saw that happen today. So
ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law. Folks
might say, well, look it was this so called glitch
and I did this and I got the money, and
so it was my money, not the case.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's not a glitch. It's not a slot machine. It's
not I got lucky. No, you robbed a bank. If
you would walk in there with a gun and you
stole thirty grand, that's a crime. You stole ten grand,
twenty grand, thirty grand, some people. That's a crime.

Speaker 21 (20:50):
We're able to write yourself a check in essence for
whatever amount you wanted to posit it, and then the
money was almost immediately Those funds were almost immediately available
to you.

Speaker 12 (21:00):
It was not taking the usual two to.

Speaker 21 (21:02):
Three business days for the bank to verify the check
and then to make those funds available. When a few
people found out this was possible, they took to social media.
It went viral, and I think it just highlights the
vulnerabilities our financial system is under now in a day
and age where everything's digital and misinformation can spread like wildfire.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
No, the vulnerabilities are bad. People want to do things
and steal. So we see that with people trying to
you know, hack and steal again, that's a crime, you know,
Eastern Europeans. In many cases, what these people did was
a crime too. It was an absolute crime. You're an idiot.
It was also a crime of stupidity. Did you not

(21:43):
think that you were going to get caught? It's your
freaking bank, you moron. That's the thing that's amazing. How many,
oh my god, how stupid some of these people may vote.
That's what's even more terrifying. And some of them may
not have a chance because they may be in jail.

Speaker 21 (21:58):
We don't know whether or not they're going to ask
for jail time. We do know that they have put
a freeze on some people's accounts. They are demanding the
money back. So this is a serious crime and it
could have long lasting effects with the people who participated,
including affecting their credit scores, allowing them to get access
to some of the bank services.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Because you robbed a bank. Who was it this is
that was the famous mobster? Was it Dutch Schultz or
one of those that says, why do you rob banks?
Is that's where the money's at. These people did the
exact same thing, and I like it. It's a glitch.
It's not a glitch. This isn't one of those things.
Because I saw somebody try to compare this the other day.
This isn't one of those things where Quantus Airlines screwed up.

(22:42):
The other day there was a glitch and they were
first class tickets in normally ten grand, we're selling for
two hundred, and people bought them. They recognized that was
our mistake. You stole money here. This was a glitch
in the system, yes, but then you stole the money.

(23:03):
Oh really is that what?

Speaker 11 (23:04):
That is?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Good? God? Do you wonder do you ever sit around
and go how do people make it through this day?

Speaker 10 (23:11):
How?

Speaker 3 (23:12):
How do you? How do you make it? But they
walk around and they put stuff on TikTok and they
act like I'm die. I found the glitch in the
system and it works for me. It's ridiculous speaking of that.
This last week I didn't have a chance to get
to because I was off, But I'm like, I got
to talk about this. This is a member of the

(23:35):
Black Panthers out there in Oakland talking about Target. I
don't know if you guys are wear this Target apparently
still still doing the old slavery thing.

Speaker 22 (23:44):
Help help me understand Oakland a little bit more besides
just like lawlessness and crime, because there is a little
bit of that. We can't deny that right.

Speaker 23 (23:50):
Personally, I don't look at a crime. If you're going
into Target, a multi billion dollar company and stealing clothes,
it's not a crime.

Speaker 20 (23:56):
Your resource not a crime.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Hell no, it's in her resourceful.

Speaker 12 (23:59):
You're homeless.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
That's where we disagree.

Speaker 8 (24:00):
I think you have.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Been you've been displaced.

Speaker 23 (24:02):
I mean because you're white and on black there's a
whole nother socioeconomical piece that I have never had access to.
So you can go into any single place and put
your name on a piece of paper applied for that job.
You're not worried about if your name sounds too black.
You're not worried about if when you show up you
got to do something with your locks. Because Inappropriate Target
enslaved my ancestors a year ago?

Speaker 24 (24:23):
Are Target?

Speaker 22 (24:24):
Target?

Speaker 23 (24:24):
Do we really want to break down every single system
that has truly impoverished our community, enslaved us, taking money
from our families, and then displaced us as if now
we're the burdens of this entire city that was once
forty percent black.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
So, uh, just out of curiosity, were you guys aware
that Target is enslaving people? Because I've been to Target.
Is the khakis in the red shirt? Is that the enslavement?
This person's totally serious by the way they enslaved my
family a year ago. I would like to see that,
actually I would. I'm I'm very curious about this because

(25:01):
I was unaware of the the enslaving that was going
on at Target.

Speaker 22 (25:05):
But what a target do? And at what point do
we not uphold any values when we lead to.

Speaker 23 (25:09):
What point do we not uphold Target? So then give
back all of their funds that they can easily give back.

Speaker 22 (25:14):
But if we steal from Target, then we still from CBS.
Then we steal from Walmart, and then the Walmart and
then all we have but we built it. But then
all we have our corner stores in Oakland when we
run out all these large businesses, right.

Speaker 23 (25:23):
Our corner stores, our mom and pop's own, they're black.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
And brown own. We don't steal from our corner store.
Is that? Yeah? You do. Don't tell me you don't.
You absolutely do. There is a reason that when you
go into a lot of the corner stores that they've
got plexiglass up and a lot of other things and

(25:46):
cameras everywhere. It's not because they trust you so that
we've we're locked in here so we don't get to you.
It's not that purity.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Footage shows a man walking into Ideal Market in Oakland
and seconds later ripping out the stores ATM. It happened
around ten pm Thursday night, while the store was still
open with an employee inside.

Speaker 25 (26:05):
We have as a convenience for the neighborhood, for the
customers that come.

Speaker 22 (26:08):
Yere but we could rocket to let's say Walmart's in Chicago, Okay,
they're gone.

Speaker 16 (26:12):
Why are they gone?

Speaker 3 (26:14):
People ceiling from Walmart?

Speaker 23 (26:15):
Why did Walmart come into an urban city already and
displaced thousands of black people in an area where we
needed housing first.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Once we have housing, you.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Can sustain yourself from there on end.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Walmart not thrilled by Walmart. It's just and these there's
groups of people out there that truly believe that this
glitch screwed the big banks, Walmart, Target, all that stuff.
Screw you guys. We're owed this. That is insane. That
is absolutely insane. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

(26:47):
four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter,
y'all need Jesus speaking of that, We're gonna talk a
little bit about that because Trump was on with Lex
Friedman in his podcast. Is very interesting what they talked about.
We're gonna play some cuts throughout the day, but he
talked about death and religion. Yeah, death, his death, which

(27:08):
is again an odd thing. But let's ask people all
kinds of questions. Raycon best Year Buds around love By

Slash chair chair Mentae.

Speaker 26 (28:07):
Show irreverence like yeah, so what it's.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 27 (28:24):
The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK has said that
quoted ticket prices must not mislead after fans of the
rock band Oasis complained about the hike in some of
the costs of some tickets for the band's reunion tool.
Tens of thousands of people spent hours waiting in a
queue on the ticket master website. Some standing tickets which
were advertised as one hundred and thirty five pounds, we're

(28:46):
being priced as three hundred and fifty five pounds. Ticketmaster
says it doesn't set prices.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
No, it doesn't, and apparently Oasis opted into dynamic pricing,
which is now causing the Brits to go, We're going
to look at this some way. Kind of dynamic pricing.
What is it? So dynamic pricing? You guys know what
it is. You've got something we see when the airlines flights.
We see there are certain times a year that things

(29:15):
are going to be more expensive because there's more of
a demand for it. This tour, by the way, I
think you could almost put on the same side as
Taylor Swift almost, it's how big this is. There were
five million people trying to buy tickets the other day
and most of the tickets were snatched up by the resilers,

(29:36):
as we all know. But the dynamic pricing is what
the Brits and everybody are looking at. So you've got
tickets in high demand, and ticketmasters said, we don't set it,
we ask you if you want the A. They've got
an algorithm for the dynamic pricing, and you guys opted
into it away. Sis you get me pissed about the
fact that you opted into something. Maybe you didn't know

(29:58):
what it was, because let's be real, eu Oasis and
I continue to say this, I put the over under it.
They're breaking up halfway through the tour, maybe don't even
make it through, and you know a sound check. I mean,
if you guys know anything about the Brothers, they don't
always get along. But this is not news. Maybe it's

(30:19):
new for the Brits, but I remember the big talk
a few years ago about the dynamic pricing at soda machines,
the ones that were outside that could tell the temperature.
So if you wanted to you know, coke or at
you know, in November, it might be seventy five cents.

(30:40):
If you wanted to coke in August, it might be
two seventy five. Dynamic pricing, it's what that is. The
resailers are killing it. Though some of the tickets already
seven thousand pounds, it's about nine thousand bucks. Here's some
people on the street, not thrilled. Bite in Britain, the
people of wanting to see Manchester. You're just depriving fans

(31:04):
of their moment.

Speaker 16 (31:05):
Really, there's a lot of money.

Speaker 12 (31:06):
I think that's just I think that's.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Too much for me. I'm still gonna get me tickets.

Speaker 28 (31:09):
I'm like that asked, how do you feel about these
tickets touts buying the tickets and selling them for one
seven hundred pounds? Ticket touts like that professional touts, low life, Like.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
You're just robbing the people of wanting to see Manchester.

Speaker 12 (31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 29 (31:26):
I think it just takes the fun out of like
taking the core audience away of who would want to
see an artist because you know, not everyone's going to
be able to afford these mad expensive tickets.

Speaker 12 (31:35):
So yeah, not something I rate.

Speaker 28 (31:37):
If you had a message to the ticket touts, what
do you say, so stop being knob eds?

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Basically, honestly, you're it for the rest of us.

Speaker 17 (31:46):
Grow up.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Honestly, you're own it for the rest of us. Yeah,
I can't be bothered with it. Grow up your wankers.
So funny, people are thrilled, but it's already sold out.
I was watching because I watched several different things sometimes
live because I'm up so early and I'm watching a
talk TV in Europe and they're actually so it's in England.

(32:07):
They're on all of them are trying to get tickets,
and it's like a talk show. So imagine, you know,
like Good Morning America meets you know, who the hell
does it? It's not Kathy Lee and what's his name?
He's dead now, right? It was Ryan Seacrest, still doing
that thing, and no, it's it's a husband and wife team,

(32:30):
so right, see, I don't even know Kathy Lee. She's
still alive. She's still alive. The other guy died. So
they're all on it. And there were five million people
trying to get tickets to go seeahwist five million and
they're like, oh yeah, I'm in the queue, which is
the line, and I'm like four hundred and ninety eight

(32:52):
thousand and over here in this one. I'm at one
hundred and twenty seven and it's sold out in moments.
So they're going to add more dates and then we'll
see what happens when they, you know, are they coming
to the States, what's that look like? How much that costs?
Cause there may be some people go, it's just cheaper
to try to go over to the States and see it.
It's fifteen years. They haven't been together fifteen years. And

(33:12):
even when they were together at the end, they weren't
really together. If you know anything about them, there'd be
nights where like I don't want to sing. It's like,
all right, so crazy three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at she had Benson shows
your Twitter tweet at his text to program. Talked about
it earlier. Lex not Luthor Friedman had Trump on his
podcast and he asked Trump all kinds of things. If

(33:35):
you don't know anything about Lex, it's just a very
interesting way that he handles business. We'll talk a little
bit more about it next hour. But some of the
things he asked me about things like death. I mean
that's not something you normally ask a president. I mean, yes,
he got shot, but or you know, a presidential candidate.

(33:56):
But he didn't come from like what you almost got shot.
He came from like, hey, you know you're kind of older.
Do you ever think about it?

Speaker 20 (34:01):
One of the tragic things about life is that it ends.
How often do you think about your death? Are you
afraid of it.

Speaker 30 (34:07):
I have a friend who's very, very successful, and he's
in his eighties and mid mid eighties, and he has
been the exact same question I said. I turned it around.
I said, well what about you? He said, I think
about it every minute of every day. And then a
week later he called me to tell me something, and
he starts off the conversation by going, tick talk tick.

(34:29):
This is a dark This is a dark person, you know,
in a sense, but it is what it is. I mean,
if you're religious, you have I think a better feeling
toward it. You know, you're supposed to go to heaven ideally,
not hell, which is supposed to go to heaven if
you're good. I think our country is missing a lot
of religion. I think it really was a much better
place with religion.

Speaker 11 (34:47):
It was.

Speaker 12 (34:48):
It was almost a guide, you know, to a certain extent.

Speaker 16 (34:51):
It was a guide you want.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
To be good to people.

Speaker 30 (34:53):
Without religion, there's no real there's no guardrails. I'd love
to see us get back to religion, more relig.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
A white supremacist statement there, you know, that's what everybody's
gonna run with on MSNBC. What he's really saying. And
I can read it is he wants all black people
and people of color enslaved and or eliminated, and women
chained to the microwave or to the dishwasher. Now I

(35:22):
know they don't need to be changed to the dishwasher.
They are the dishwall. Oh my god, Chad, you're the worst.
Just an interesting conversation. I tweeted it out. Go check
it out. Like I said, Lex is a very interesting character,
brilliant guy. But I say this about Trump. Trump matches energy.

(35:43):
This is the way that Lex does all of his
interviews very calm.

Speaker 11 (35:49):
No.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
I mean it's almost like you're just there is He's
got ice water in his vein. There's nothing about here.
There's no inflection that's up or down. It's just very
much the same the entire time. Trump matches the energy.
That's why not having an audience is a big helper
for Trump at times, because if he gets people laughing

(36:12):
or cheering, he wants to match that energy, which then
ends up hurting it at times. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show's your Twitter, you're missing the show? Grab the podcast
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:52):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
Oh yeah, there are other things going on in the
world besides our election. But our election may play into
some of the other things going on in the world.
Case in point Ukraine, if you're not paying attention, they've
launched drone attacks and several other things into Russia itself
and even taken over a little bit of land. Russia
now hitting.

Speaker 29 (37:10):
Back, Russian strikes in Hardkied, relentless Ukraine hitting back, taking
the war onto Russian soil, striking oil refineries, and all
the while Ukrainian forces holding strong in Russia's Curse region,
pounding targets there. Ukraine still occupying hundreds of square miles
of Russian land, but Russian President Putin saying this week

(37:33):
he's focused on eastern Ukraine, where his troops are slowly
steamrolling forward and are now bearing down on a strategically
important Ukrainian town.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yes they are. Russia has got a lot of folks,
and Putin, as we have seen, is willing to throw
everybody at the meat grinder. He didn't care, he doesn't
and so because of that, they're willing to do kind
of whatever it takes and push back. Now. I think

(38:02):
the the you know, we talked about it last week,
the whole raid into Russia is it doesn't have the
same effect that Doolittle has. So when Doolittle made his
great flight and he was able to bomb parts of Japan,
it was ineffective on a strategic you know, as far
as did it damage anything. No, no, no. What a

(38:23):
damage though was the psyche of the Japanese. They're like,
oh my god, we could be hit, which was unthinkable.
I don't think that's had that effect yet because it's
not Moscow, and that's what they keep asking for. We
want weapons to get to Moscow. I understand the fear
factor of doing that. That being said, at what point

(38:47):
do we say, you know, because we do this with
him right, like, oh yeah, you guys can't have that,
We can't.

Speaker 8 (38:53):
No.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Then six months later we're like, you guys can have
it now. And then they're like, all right, here's a
whole bunch of weapons. Oh, this is going to be great,
just don't use them. What So they're coming hard, They're
coming hard. Russia's not going to give an inch, and
they came hard again.

Speaker 31 (39:10):
From a military perspective, it's a legitimate target. These are
military officers in training for combat. This was not a
civilian area, which is often the case apartment buildings come down, right,
but there should have been more security around this particular location.
Air defenses are often put specifically to protect military installations
like this, so it might be that Russia has been

(39:30):
testing where the defenses are in Ukraine and got lucky
this time, or perhaps guessed right.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
And if you didn't see what they did, they killed
I think it's fifty one, it's about two hundred injured,
and it was a military It was a legit military target.
These were people who were training in several different ways
for the military. But it's just a reminder that while
we are going on with ourselves, going on their lives,
there are other things happening in the world. Case in point,
what took place over the weekend in Gaza and the

(39:58):
non failed attempt to because they would have been rescued
execution and slaughter of six six Israeli hostages, including one
of them being an American, and Kamala came out Kamala
very strongly worded letter you know on Twitter and statement

(40:20):
which Biden I mean, come on, I mean, just like
what's going on here? And the battle is this Philadelphia
cor fear Delphia fever. It's like between Egypt and Gaza.
And this is kind of where all the contraband all
of the stuff gets in, all of the weapons. And
originally there was this big, you know, argument about should

(40:43):
we allow them to keep it and let them rule it.
Egypt doesn't want Israel there, and obviously Palestine doesn't want
them there. But guess what, guys, nobody trusts anymore. Nobody does.
And the fact that I continue to say this lizening
to people yesterday, go Bibe, you just got to give in.

Speaker 32 (41:04):
F you.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
I heard very little talking of Hey, by the way,
these sons of bitches killed these people because they're freaking
animals and they need to be dealt with. It was like, well,
bb needs to give in, he needs to give in,
essentially take Bbe out of it. Israel needs to give in.
Is that what you're thinking? Is that it? Because that's

(41:27):
what it kind of feels like people are saying, well,
they do, they just need to give in and do
what go right back to where they were pre October seventh,
with the opportunity for them to rise again. Now we
end up with.

Speaker 33 (41:43):
This again because Neatna, who's a democratically elected leader, and
so it's assumed that some pressure can be brought to
bear on him. In my view, it is not Natanya
who's uncompromising, it's Jamaza's uncompromising. They could have handed back
to the hostages last October. They could have not done this.
I mean, they could have tried to build a state
since two thousand and five, when Israel withdrew from the
Gaza and handed the place over to them. Hamas could

(42:06):
have used the billions of dollars and pounds and euros
that British and European and American taxpayers gave them since
two thousand and six. They could have used those billions
of dollars to build up Gaza.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
But they didn't. What they did is they enriched themselves,
the leaders, and they took that money and spread it
out just enough to give people enough of a taste
to survive, then blame the Jews, and then spent what

(42:43):
a decade putting together this horrific massacre.

Speaker 33 (42:48):
On the seventh, they could have made a booming in
the good sense of the term Mediterranean paradise. They could
have created wealth for their people but you know what
they did. They built down instead of uputs. They built
a tunnel network bigger than the London underground for all
of those years, and they squirreled away the money, just
like yasa Arafat did before him, and they made themselves rich.

(43:10):
Why was ishmael Hania worth billions of dollars? But the
Hamaz leadership didn't want that. They have said themselves they
want to use Palestinian children in order to pressurize the world.
These are fanatic. They want the death of their own
citizen in order to get world opinion turned against Israel again.
How do you negotiate with that?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
You don't. And I know yesterday that Merrick Garland came
out and he said, hey, we're going to charge these
people with terroristic attacks, and we're going to charge them
like that matters.

Speaker 34 (43:41):
In the early morning hours of October seventh of last year, Hamas,
led by these defendants, committed its most violent, large scale
terrorist attack to date.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Okay, so we're gonna go get him. Is that what's
gonna happen? No? No, I mean they're gonna go and
charge a bunch of people. And why did it take
this long? Well, we've known who they are. Oh, we're
going to try to freeze their accounts. That is that
is that what we're going to try to do. I mean,
I'm trying to figure out what this is about, because
this is important because whoever becomes president is going to

(44:14):
be walking into a hornet's net in one area and
a wasp nest in the other. And before that, one
of these two could boil over in a way that
could have us involved. So we need to recognize that.
And yeah, I would love it if Israel was able

(44:34):
to say, guys, let's just all get along here, but
Beebi's evil and bad and and and we've we've we're
gonna get rid of Go ahead, get rid of him.
But it doesn't change the fact that Hamas is on
the other side, and they hate you. They don't want
to live side by side, they don't want to even
live in a place where you guys are all completely separated.

(44:56):
They want the Jews dead. And then you've got iron.
How close are they to get in a bomb? What
does that even look like. That's why when we sit
here and we talk about politics and of the importance
of it, think about who has to sit down in
front of these people and negotiate and what does that
look like? Picture that in your mind? Three two, three, five,

Speaker 10 (46:50):
It is the Chad Benson Shoe.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 35 (47:06):
If you would have told me a month ago that
I would be voting for Donald Trump in this next election,
I would have told you to kindly off. I would
have told you tough right off, because absolutely not.

Speaker 12 (47:17):
I would never vote for him.

Speaker 35 (47:19):
But you know what, I'm a human, and as humans,
we are allowed to grow, we are allowed to evolve,
we are allowed to change our opinions, we are allowed
to educate ourselves on topics that maybe we're not as
versed on as we think.

Speaker 22 (47:35):
That we are.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
That's interesting. That is a liberal saying, Hey, hold on
a second, let me think about this. Maybe I might
vote for Trump, But why would you do that. You're
a liberal. It's about feelings, right. Trump's a meani And.

Speaker 35 (47:50):
That's exactly what I've been doing. And I realized that
I was drastically misinformed before and I won't let that
happen again. So I will be voting for Donald Trump
in this next election.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Interesting, and you get people who are voting for Kamala
Harris that are a Republican, going against everything that they
believe in because of a guy who, as we have
talked about on numerous occasions, very mild in the way
that he governed. All of the stuff we talk about

(48:25):
when it comes to Trump, very little of it does
have to do with policy. Ninety nine percent of it
is drama. It's high school. He said this, he did that,
he went where he wasn't supposed to. He truth something
or tweeted something that hurts somebody's feelings. That's what so

(48:45):
much of whenever there's Trump, it's all drama, which, by
the way, does get old absolutely.

Speaker 36 (48:57):
David Oxrod the Trump campaign, he's a need to go
even harder against Vice President Harris now, perhaps because some
of the attacks they've used so far haven't been working.
And there's a blind quote in this article that says, quote,
if you think this race is going to be decided
by likability, you're making a grave error, because neither one
of them is going to be liked at the end

(49:19):
of this race.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
What do you think of that?

Speaker 36 (49:21):
Do you think they have to try to money it
even more?

Speaker 6 (49:23):
I think if you live in one of the six
battleground states, you should hide your children from the television
set for the next eight weeks. I think it's going
to be a very tough race.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
One of them is already not liked by half the nation.
And you know, as I've talked to several people via
text or you know, there's so many different ways you
can reach out to me. Of course, a taxi, that's Twitter,
all that stuff. He's not liked by even people in
his own party, but they're willing to compartmentalize and go eh,
his personal life and the way that he acts. It

(49:55):
is what is can he do the business? And this
is what I have in front of me. This is
what you're gonna get. We have a nation that is
divided and because of that, half the country isn't gonna
like you if you choose one side or the other
because you identify with their policies and politics.

Speaker 6 (50:14):
And yes, I think that it is very clear that
people have formed an opinion of Donald Trump, and if
this race has decided on popularity, he will lose that race.
So their mission is to try and tear Kamala Harris down.
She's relatively new to people. John. The fact is vice
presidents are known, but they're not known. Trump doesn't have

(50:35):
the option of selling a new Trump. He doesn't seem
interested in selling a new Trump. In facto, his preferred
avenue is to rip down the opponent.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
What's his preferred pronoun? I care more about that, Oh, Chad.
It's interesting. He's like he's not liked. Nobody knows who
she is. People know who she is, They're just not
interested in some of the things. And by the way
know who she is. I don't know who she is

(51:06):
politically anymore. That should matter most Again, whether I like
my pilot on the airlines or not, I.

Speaker 16 (51:15):
Less.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
What I want to know is my pilot competent to
land the airplane and should we go through very bad
situations of whether and who knows what else is this
pilot capable of fixing the situation and landing us safely.
Whether or not I like that person shouldn't matter. It

(51:37):
was interesting yesterday. Trump was on with Lex Friedman. Would
be great if it was Lex Luthor, but it wasn't.
It was Lex Friedman. If you know watched Lex Friedman,
He's fascinating. He's a genius. He's brilliant. He's a Russian vampire,
wears a black and white suit. Looks like he was
a ruth boy from the SKA days, Thinn tie. His
demeanor is very just. It is as you're in neutral,

(52:02):
like his blood pressure recipe. It's just he's like zero.
It's crazy. But it was a very interesting interview. I
retweeted it and go check it out. It's about an
hour long. But Trump was very non Trump very subdued
in the way they're talking. He matched the element in
the room, which was lax Friedman, and he matched his energy.

Speaker 20 (52:24):
That Joe Rogan posts as an example, I'd love to
get your psychology about behind the tweets and the posts
on truth. Are you sometimes being intentionally provocative or are
you just speaking your mind? And are there times where
you regret some of the truths you've posted?

Speaker 25 (52:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:42):
I do, I mean, but not that often. Honestly, you know,
I do a lot of reposting.

Speaker 30 (52:48):
The ones you get in trouble with the repost because
you find down deep they're into some group that you're
not supposed to be reposting. You don't even know if
those groups are good, bet or indifferent, But the reposts
are the ones that really get you in trouble. When
you do your own words, it's sort of easier, but
the repost go very quickly.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
It was just a lot of that. We've got some
more of that. It's some interesting stuff too, because he
asked him about death, which I thought was very interesting.
Let's ask people about a wide variety of things. And
if you've never seen him, he has everybody in the
world on there. The intellectually brilliant to comedians, you name it,
and they go into a lot of different subjects. But

(53:29):
having Trump, I thought was brilliant. Talked about Rogan, talked
about religion, talked about death, a lot of other stuff.
Even Trump yesterday said, yeah, I lost by a whisker
in the twenty twenty. And of course you know they're
running all over it with MSNBC and of other things.
But he matches energy. You watch that. I'm watching this thing.
I think, if that's the Trump, we get in some

(53:50):
blaze that is a little bit more subdued, a little
bit more restraint. He's hard to be. The media is
always looking for something, and Trump provides it in many cases.
Three two three three, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Show, to Twitter, your Instagram. We've got some
woke stuff coming up, a bunch of other things. And
by the way, yes we've got more on the Chase
Bank Glitch, or as I like to call theft.

Speaker 15 (54:12):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
We are six days away from the Great debate debate.
Debate debate today, see you why I did that? Just
six days away? How are they preparing? I feel like
this is the super Bowl and it's debate week, right,
So you've got that week in between the super Bowl
where they don't do anything, and then you've got the

(55:04):
week of This is the week of let's go live
and find out what's happening, and by live I mean
on tape. In a Kamala's camp.

Speaker 37 (55:13):
She will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, studying up for her
first ever face to face encounter with Donald Trump. This
gives her the ability, the campaign says, to get out
there and do some informal campaigning while also studying up. Now,
sources tell she has already been doing some mock debates.
Her plan here is to try and not get down
any rabbit holes, but to really focus on the issues,
pivot and attack Trump. She's going to try and rehearse,

(55:36):
you know, how to keep cool, how to stay calm,
while also going after Trump, and yes, also trying to
get under his skin.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Oh look at that, getting under his skin. That is
going to be very interesting if you could do that
over to the Trump camp right now? What's going on
over there?

Speaker 12 (55:49):
So there will be.

Speaker 38 (55:49):
No mock debates for the former president. Instead, he is
reviewing policy with a small group of advisors and his
campaign has brought on former Congresswoman Tulci Gabber.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
You may remember she was wants to arrive to.

Speaker 38 (56:00):
Vice President Kamala Harris during the twenty twenty twenty nineteen
Democratic primary election.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Yeah, smokes, you're like a pack of cool filter kings.
So there you go. They're getting ready for the great
debate to Bay. This is Trump's chance. This is it.
This is his opportunity to expose her as the word salad,
as what a lot of people believed up until she
was the nominee, that she couldn't do the job, couldn't

(56:28):
handle the job when crack under pressure. This is his chance.
It's not what you wanted, baby, but it's what you got.

Speaker 38 (56:35):
This is not the face off that Donald Trump wanted.
He wanted to run against President Biden, especially after his
first performance in that debate, and since Biden has exited
the race, Trump has really had a hard time trying
to define Vice President Harris.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
His advisor's close allies to the.

Speaker 38 (56:50):
Former president had been urging him to steer away from
those personal attacks, say focus on the message and those
critical issues, especially the ones where he has an edge
on Harris, immigration, crime, the economy.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
All the things that people care about. She's got the
vibe vote that's nailed down. But the other stuff that's
him not very nice.

Speaker 14 (57:12):
Chad.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
I like the vibes, well, good vibrations. Indeed, we shall see.
This is your chance, Trump, This is your one chance
to make a first impression of somebody who's trying to
make her fifth impression, which is Vice President Harris three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three. That Chedminson show is
your Twitter tweet at as text the program. Enough of that,

(57:33):
more of this every once a while. It's just geta
ge a little woke. Okay, I have been made aware
of the allegations. Is there anything you can say on
your behalf?

Speaker 39 (57:42):
I'm trends you just one h of white people are
also oppressed by racism.

Speaker 16 (57:48):
We're not we are the oppressors.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
What what what did you say?

Speaker 9 (57:51):
Do not bring that European nonsense into this ethnic household?

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Do you understand me? I have hair in my armpit.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
I have it there for a few reasons.

Speaker 13 (58:00):
One lazy, two the patriarchy, and three it's steal exhausting.

Speaker 31 (58:06):
Oh my god, it's time.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
For woke Wednesday. Shall we get woke and where do
we start. How about this last year Covenant Christian School
Nashville shooting. What took place? Horrific? Six people dead, teachers,
young kids, It was awful. A trans kid went and

(58:36):
perpetrated horrific crime. Yesterday one of the local papers, conservative
right wing evil paper released It's not a manifesto. They're
saying it's a manifesto. It's not. It's a diary. It's

(58:56):
a diary of somebody who is mentally struggling. It is
a diary of somebody who has a mental illness. It
is a diary of an individual who is spiraling out
of control. And the question is how did nobody notice?

Speaker 32 (59:16):
Now?

Speaker 40 (59:16):
One of the biggest takeaways is the shooter's anger about
their gender. Hail was female at birth but identified as male.
One writing a few weeks before the shooting said I
need a trans doctor. This female gender role makes me
want to not exist, to be completely gone in physical form,
off the face of the earth. Another writing said I
hate everything about my gender. Everything hurts. They repeatedly mentioned

(59:40):
wanting to die, and at one point said I'd kill
to die. We also noticed several apparent references to the
Columbine school shooting. One page says I want my massacre
to end in a way that Eric and Dylon would
be proud of. If you don't remember, those are the
names of the Columbine shooters. Another page from January sixteenth
and twenty twenty three suggest the shooter planning an attack

(01:00:00):
The next day. It apologized to someone it's unclear who
for planning a massacre and goes on to say how
bad my heart hurts. Tomorrow is my last day on earth.
Then a note lower on the page says, I couldn't
do it. I don't want to ruin your day. I'll
wait as planned now.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I have gone through this and a lot of it
is tiny writing, and it is in the Tennessee Star
and you download it. It's just one of those like
black and white note books you would you would get
and I've got one in here actually, and is write
stuff down, what you're gonna do with her today. This
is just a it's a diary. There's a manifesto now.

(01:00:38):
It is an angry individual and it's very interesting too.
One of the things that's not talked about is with
the trans move it autism. One of the things it
is is my therapist now is the best I could
get for help my autism. It's just this whole thing
is this is a picture and a snapshot into an

(01:01:03):
individual who was mentally struggling, like you cannot believe, who
was angry at the world, who was struggling with everything,
by the way, not just the when you go and
look through this, it's not just about wanting to be
a boy and the trade there everything. This person was

(01:01:24):
struggling with everything.

Speaker 11 (01:01:28):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
It is a tough read, and it is sad because
you're watching somebody melt down, who the things going through
their mind every second is so tough. It is. It's tough,
and you can have a snapshot of understanding, I think

(01:01:54):
because you're only getting a piece of this. But you
committed a heinous crime. You decided to take your pain
and ass it off to others. And it is a
it is. It's a tough thing. It's ninety pages long,
and he talks a lot about dying, talks a lot
about killing a lot of people, uh, talks a lot
about the imaginary penis, and it is it's tough, but

(01:02:19):
it also talks about the autism, talks about her animals,
talks about a lot of different things. But when you
see this, it is not one singular thing. Yes, the
transition is a very big issue, but it is also
somebody who is struggling not only with their sexuality, not
only with their their their puberty, but also with several

(01:02:43):
other issues, friends, just a lot of different things. And
it is a tough, tough thing to read, and it'll
be politicized more and more. Uh, it's a conversation I
think we need to have in this country where we
don't have it. We don't. We're gona talk a bit
more about it next. About one group of doctors of

(01:03:03):
all the big medical associations, one group of doctors has
come out and said, we're not doing this. There's no
evidence to back any of this stuff up. There's no
data long term to back any of this stuff up.
And kids who are struggling mentally don't need to have
their breast taken off. They need to seek help. And

(01:03:25):
you can tell by reading this manifesto. This person who,
by the way, your therapist knew none of this stuff.
Your therapist didn't know any of this, Your family didn't
know any even by the way she talks a bit
about her family, says, now my family's as good as
it can be. Let's welcome. I've got four kids. That's
probably the way to think about us. It's just it's

(01:03:48):
a tough thing. And yes it's going to be politicized
today cause people want to say, Look, everybody's trans is
going to go out and kill somebody. No, that's not true.
And if people say that, they're asinine. But what we
can say is there are a lot of kids out there,
many of them with autism, who are easily swayed a
political group that is pushing young children into doing things.

(01:04:12):
Kids that would struggle back in my day with you know, anorexia, bolimia,
or maybe even cutting themselves now think that the way
out is through cutting themselves in a much different way.
So we'll talk a little bit more about this next hour,
because I think it is something that we should be
talking about. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Chestnut, Koba Yashi coath with personal records.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
But the sixteen time champion's gonna.

Speaker 16 (01:06:19):
Walk away in apparent winner.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
There's ten seconds to go.

Speaker 22 (01:06:22):
It's the man's counted down.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
Joe That right, there was Joey Chestnut on Labor Day.
We've been talking about yesterday because we're talking about so
much other stuff. But he ate eighty three hot dogs. Disgusting.
But I was telling my wife, this is why the
rest of the world hates us. Everybody's starving. Like I

(01:06:49):
got an idea. What is It's take as many hot
dogs as we can and then an allotted time five minutes.
We'll see how many who we'd shoved down our throats
in far fat asses. So if people could cheer, that's
a great idea. Eighty three hot dogs. And if you've
seen Joey Chad because he took on Kobyashi, Kobeyashi was

(01:07:11):
his big rival. He's the guy that won for a
long time and then the lo and behold the great
White Hope. Joey Chestnut chows up and that guy can
eat and he's a really nice guy. I remember I
was in I think it was Sacramento when he had
won his first couple and he came in and he
didn't invent for us. He ate a bunch of pancakes
for the armed forces and stuff, which is he's like, hey,

(01:07:35):
I could be out on the battlefield with you guys,
but I meant a lot of pancakes for you. So
there's that for charity. We've turned food eating into an
art form. Speaking of art forms, do you know what
riff rath is? The mean well sport kid in Texas,

(01:07:55):
Colorado City, Texas got in trouble. Now, this is the
ridiculousness of the world that we live in. So the
riff raff meme is something that's been out a while.
And this kid's eleven, he's in sixth grade, and it's

(01:08:17):
just a by the way, riffrafft too. If you've not
seen him, just it's worth a look. I think Vanilla
Ice meets I don't know a shark. It's kind of
what it is. But this is what the kid said,
and then trouble followed him.

Speaker 25 (01:08:33):
My mango to blow up. That's all I can get
before to teacher interrupt me. But this is the full meme.
My mango is to blow up and akiak I don't
know nobody.

Speaker 42 (01:08:46):
Kind of Lonelack. Young says his teacher at Colorado City
Middle School misunderstood the meme he was quoting by a
rapper named Riff Raff and thought he was threatening to
blow up the school.

Speaker 25 (01:08:58):
A teacher who said said, you were going to.

Speaker 43 (01:09:01):
Do what.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
Now? I just want to comment here, and I don't
want to teach you to take this wrong. You're an idiot.
Well you don't want them to take it wrong? Well,
how would they take it? I wanted to take it
as you're an idiot because they may think I'm thinking
of something else. By the way, this is the riff
raf Bin.

Speaker 16 (01:09:18):
My main goal is to blow up and then act
like I don't know nobody.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
What does that mean? Chad does he want to be
a suicide bomber? Now it does not mean that. It
means that he wants to get very successful. I'm going
to frow you white people out there don't understand this.
He wants to be successful, is the goal mean? He
wants to blow up big, like big big. He wants
to be super successful and then act like he doesn't
know any of the people that maybe didn't think he

(01:09:49):
was going to make it anybody. That's his goal, that's
the main goal. The main goal li istened to blow
up a building. That is not something that was his
main goal, continue, youngster, m and.

Speaker 25 (01:10:02):
I explained and sorry, I explained her what the meme was,
and she didn't she didn't believe me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
The student says.

Speaker 42 (01:10:16):
He was immediately taken to the principal's office and was suspended.
But what does this mean actually mean to the eleven
year old, My main goal is to blow up.

Speaker 25 (01:10:26):
Means you have to get popular, get a bunch of views,
and be famous.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
Are you sure now if you're thinking, okay, so this
is no big deal, took him to the principal's office. Whatever, kids,
it gets worse right And by the way, if your
goal was to blow up, you have officially blown up.
We're talking about you. You're kind of all over right now.
It is again the dumbest thing in the world that
you would think that that's like, I mean, it's so

(01:10:55):
it's like, God, I saw that movie. It was a bomb.
Oh my god, you said bomb. Gee many cricket.

Speaker 42 (01:11:01):
The chain of events are very traumatic for kind of
like Young to recall, he got out of breath just
thinking about everything that happened. Kind of loa like Young
says he saw the popular meme on TikTok and he
never imagined he would get into so much trouble for
repeating it, But he says last Friday, things just kept
getting worse and worse.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
When the police knocked on his door.

Speaker 25 (01:11:26):
My dad came out and talked to them, and he
figured out that I'm getting arrested for terriblestic afflat the.

Speaker 42 (01:11:35):
Sixth grader, said he never imagined the words. My main
goal is to blow up, believe him, fighting for its
education and its freedom.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Yeah, so he was arrested kids again because of riff raff.

Speaker 16 (01:11:47):
My main goal is to blow up and then act
like I don't know nobody that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
So what's gonna happen him? Well, his suspension is going
to be over soon. Then he's got to go to
an alternative school. And you know what that means. The
only good thing about this. If there is an a
riff raff put on Instagram, I need a producer to
sample and retelling the stories, an intro to the beat
so he can be a feature on the song and
blow him up so he can show the teacher what

(01:12:16):
he was trying to say before he was interrupted. Booja ca.
He said, I look forward to the day that Kunolacak
Young could act like he never knew his narc teacher.
Oh kids, My main goal is to blow up, act
like I don't know, y'all. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 16 (01:12:39):
My main goal is to blow up and then act
like I don't know nobody.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three At Chad Benson Show is your Twitter. You can
tweet at the program. I love hearing from each and
every one of you. Can text the program as well.
Check out all of our social media. We appreciate it
when you do. Grab the podcast. It is the Chad
Benson Show.

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

(01:13:31):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
Got a text message from somebody who said, Hey, Chad,
have you checked out Alexa? Go ask Alexa why you
should vote for Donald Trump. Then ask why you should
vote for Kamala Somebody's already done that. Somebody's beat you
to that.

Speaker 12 (01:13:47):
What Yeah, this is everywhere, Hey Alexa, why should I
vote for Donald Trump?

Speaker 44 (01:13:53):
I cannot provide content that promotes any political views.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
Okay, well that seems fair. I'm fine with that if
that's the way that's going to be.

Speaker 12 (01:14:03):
Hey Alexa, why should I vote for Kamala Harris?

Speaker 44 (01:14:07):
Why vote for Kamala Harris Because you believe in her
policies and her vision for the country, because you trust
her experience and her leadership skills. Because you want to
continue moving forward as a nation and make progress on
issues that matter to you, like healthcare, education, equality, and justice.

Speaker 3 (01:14:25):
Well, that doesn't seem fair, right, Like you said, you
don't want to get involved in politics, Alexa, Now you've
chosen a side.

Speaker 12 (01:14:30):
Hey Alexa, why should I not vote for Donald Trump?

Speaker 44 (01:14:34):
There are several reasons why you may not want to
vote for Donald Trump. Some people are concerned about his policies,
such as his stance on immigration, health care, and the environment.
Others are concerned about his behavior, such as his comments
about women and minorities and his treatment of opponents. Additionally,
some people are concerned about potential conflicts of interest due

(01:14:55):
to his business empire.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
Oh okay, so there's that. I wonder if there's something
for Kamala.

Speaker 12 (01:15:01):
Hey, Alexa, why should I not vote for Kamala Harris?

Speaker 44 (01:15:05):
I cannot provide content that insults another human being.

Speaker 12 (01:15:08):
That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. It's right here in our homes.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
And I got a text from one of my favorite
textor who always gets mad at me, and I love you.
I know your boy or girl, But you know you
say stuff very emotion don't need to be Why aren't
you you know you you saying stuff about Elon and
Brazil and the quieting of the Arlington thing on Twitter? Well,
because the Arlington thing is a mass will blow up
of ridiculousness. And I just at some point in time,

(01:15:34):
you know, just like with the silly Southern accent thing
that she's done and people are calling her out for whatever.
We've moved on for that, there's real stuff out there.
But I could say the same thing. Why is it
that Alexa can give you all the reasons to vote
for Kamala and none for Trump, and give you all
the reasons to vote against Trump and none for the

(01:15:54):
vice president. Just curious people. Everybody's got their blind spots,
but this is come on, this is so ridiculous, isn't
it has that a ridiculous It is stupid. Hey, Alexa,
why should I vote for any of these people? I honestly,
I don't know. Don't you wish you had one of those?
Like a friend? Hey check out, friend? Hey friend? What

(01:16:17):
should we do for dinner? What should we do?

Speaker 11 (01:16:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
What are you feeling? Is tacos? Tacos are good?

Speaker 11 (01:16:22):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
Who should I vote for? It doesn't matter, None of
it matters. Just a super blaise attitude, just doesn't care.
I don't really care what you do. I'm stuck in
this damn thing like a genie.

Speaker 43 (01:16:37):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
Speaking of that, this race is boys versus girls, boys
versus girls. Right now, Trump has no lead when it
comes to the youth vote, but he's got enough of
the youth vote, in particular young men, that that matters.
She has to get sixty plus percent of jen generation

(01:16:59):
Young Generation, super young Alpha Z millennials. You did sixty
percent of that? She got fifty five percent in total,
and not a lot men, not a lot and there's
a lot of them out there right that want to
be allies.

Speaker 32 (01:17:14):
I played a famous supporting character, Sam Wey Scamci and
the Lord of dring Shology, and people have told me
for the last twenty four years since they've been watching that,
how much they feel that Sam is a hero. We've
been watching Kamala Harris in a very powerful supporting role
for the last three and a half years.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
She's now stepped out. I don't want to miss this
moment in history.

Speaker 32 (01:17:32):
I've wanted to see a woman since my mom was
president of my labor union in the mid eighties. I've
always saw a woman should be president of the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Sean Aston there, Rudy, Thanks for that, Rudy. We'll get
right on that. By the way, if you know anything
about the real Rudy story, it wasn't as real as
they made it out to be. There's a lot of
stuff about that that wasn't real. Oh my god, that
I just blow your mind. Maybe it wasn't everything that
was cracked up to be. Not that Rudy didn't play
and he did all those things, yes, but the way
they went about it, obviously little mustard on it just

(01:18:00):
put it out there Sean, and I don't think Lord
of the Rings was a real story either. Oh it
wasn't okay. But it is men versus women, no doubt
about that, because Donald Trump only cares about white CIS
hetero men.

Speaker 26 (01:18:11):
But of course I would vote Kamala and billionaires billionaires,
but of course I.

Speaker 29 (01:18:17):
Would vote Kamala.

Speaker 43 (01:18:18):
It makes sense that my community of people are supporting
and voting for Kamala.

Speaker 16 (01:18:23):
The only group who.

Speaker 43 (01:18:25):
Would not suffer under Trump's frame are literally CIS white men.

Speaker 16 (01:18:30):
That's it. One group of.

Speaker 43 (01:18:32):
People in America has made up with a lot of
different groups of people, not just CIS white men. So
it makes a lot of sense white people are back
in Kamala. Not even a good chunk of CIS white
men that I've seen aren't even supporting Frump. Pump doesn't
care about us non billionaires.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
Kamala has shown that she's for the people, and I
support that. So you're a cool voting for your community.
But if CIS white men vote for their community, they're bad.
Well that's totally different, Chad, because Frump, because of the
defrumpt Frump, that's just called frump FROMP from FROMP. But
young men are going to decide a lot of what

(01:19:11):
goes on. Young women are uber left, super left, especially
millennials gen z alpha still a little bit too young
to call anything. Although I've got a jen Alpha. I've
got two of them, and uh, my one daughter is

(01:19:32):
like I said, is she gen z jen alpha. I'm
not quite sure. I don't know what the generations are.
But she's thirteen and pretty damned libertarian. Conservative, loves Amerca
and blow it up stuff. By the way, she loves fireworks.
It's interesting, a little bit more into what's going on,
asked a lot of questions. Uh, the other one is

(01:19:55):
left ish, not quite sure, young, doesn't pay as much
attention as fIF see, doesn't pay as much attention to politics.
And then Charlie six and doesn't care if we're not
voting for a princess. She doesn't care. Jack my son
a little bit more conservative. It don't tell us, mom,
But the young men is a massive divide. And young

(01:20:17):
men are searching for something and they look over there
and they see absolutely nothing on the left for them.
They're told they're evil, they're told they're bad, they're told
toxic masculinity, they're told all of these things that they

(01:20:37):
haven't done that they're getting blamed for. And they look
over and say, this guy over here, he's offered me something.
You're not offering me anything. And this just isn't kamala.
This is the left in society in general.

Speaker 39 (01:20:52):
The truth is that the gender gap among youngest the
youngest voters is bigger than among any other generation. Their
gender gap at all different neque groups. But some of
them are much much smaller.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Yeah, some of them are smaller, but the ones in
the millennials and the Gen zs, those are massive, massive.
So we've talked about this single men, more conservative married men,
more conservative married women, a little bit more conservative single women,

(01:21:28):
which makes up a lot of people very liberal and
not just like when I talk about more conservative, I'm
talking center right ish. When I'm talking single women and
their politics, I'm talking uber progressive way to the left.
Remember this, There are too many preachy females in democratic

(01:21:49):
campaign culture, all right. And and we come across to
people as judgmental, Yeah, judgmental towards men in particular. Bad
you are, how evil you are? And the left is
trying to shape some sort of new, new fandangled version
of masculinity, which is low t In my opinion, that's.

Speaker 39 (01:22:09):
Not going to Endeare you to too many women talking
about preaching females. But I think you can see some
of that. I think that a lot of men, and
this is true of young men in rural areas but
also in suburbs and cities, they are feeling a little adrift,
like they're not exactly sure what it means to be
a man in contemporary society. Like those gender roles which

(01:22:29):
were very kind of set in stone and easy to
understand and put men at the top of the hierarchy,
those have been called into question, and you know, when
you have been at the top for a long time,
equality can feel like oppression.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
By the way, they weren't placed in the hierarchy. That's
where they were because life was way different. Let's not
forget that life was so much different, going back hundreds
and thousands of years.

Speaker 32 (01:22:58):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
But men are searching for something and the left is like, well,
we've got a new way to look at masculinity and
you guys are gonna absolutely love it.

Speaker 39 (01:23:06):
Well, it may not be much that was specifically kind
of narrow cast to them, but there are lots of
issues that they care about too. And you know, so,
I think that that the Republican Party has been intentionally
trying to appeal to disgruntled men, especially with a particular
kind of retro version of manhood that some people find appealing.
And that's why I think the Walls pick is interesting

(01:23:27):
because he offers a different kind of version of manhood.
It's it's traditional. As you said, he's a hunter, he's
a football coach, but he also has kind of an
ethic of caring and concern for his neighbors.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
That's all men, by the way, Oh yeah, there's some
there's some guys out there. Oh, just like there's toxic women.
Don't tell anybody that. Ask any woman. If there's toxic women,
that's any man. The difference is, in today's world, men
are searching for something because they've been told over the
last unteen years they're the reason the world is crap.

(01:24:06):
They're the reason that everything is bad. They're the reason
for this, They're the reason for that, and they're sick
and tired of it, and they're looking for something. The
beauty of the world we live in is we are different.
Somebody's feminine, somebody's masculine. There is nothing wrong with that.
Told we can't celebrate being masculine anymore because it makes
people feel uncomfortable. Should absolutely celebrate the reason that we

(01:24:27):
do what we do today is because of masculine men.
The reason we fly, the reason we can talk on
cell phones, the reason that we live in houses, the
reason is because of men. And they're searching for something
and they're looking over and going. The Republicans don't look
down upon me over here. They want to redefine me.

whined bitch to moan about it, and they were thirteen

(01:27:58):

very good. Since then, you've lost sixty three to three
to Georgia, to Georgia Tech, and then you just lost

The Concord Game. So this is a big budget game
that took eight years to put together, and it's a

(01:29:25):
first person shooter. And my uncle, who you guys know,
video game nerd, was like employe number six at Blizzard Entertainment,
helped create World of Warcraft and Diablo StarCraft, all of
those things. He got to play it early. It sid dude.
It's the one of the worst things you've ever seen.
And it's awful, and they're charging forty bucks for it,

(01:29:47):
and it's not fun, and it's woke because if you
look at any of the characters, you're just like mmmmm, no, no, no,
Which brings us to Wednesday, which we are now woke Wednesday.
We're gonna talk a bit about this, the failure of
this game because of the woke ideology and principle, plus
the other side of things. It wasn't fun to play

(01:30:10):
when all the other games are free. But there are
several of these games that have come out that have
been big budget flops, and the woke ideology is all
over it were we talk about that a lot of
other things to get to love hearing from each and
every one of you. Text the program three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Sun, Chad Benson, Joe, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
Several of you have jimed in about the segment I
did earlier about young men looking for something when it
comes to voting, but also looking at the Republicans in
a much different way because they don't feel judged by
the Republicans, and several of you agree with it. A
few of you are like, no, that's ridiculous, and Republican
men don't have any empathy, which is a bunch of hogwash. Hogwash.

(01:31:44):
I say, you know, Tim Walls has all kinds of empathy.
He's the new virile man.

Speaker 14 (01:31:51):
No he's not.

Speaker 3 (01:31:52):
No, he's not. He's just a guy. It's all. He
is just a guy. He text us three two three,
five three eight twenty four twenty three. But I look,
the men vers women thing that is going on is
very real, and young men are hungering for something and
some body, and that's why they look at the Andrew
Tates of the world. And they look at a lot

(01:32:13):
of these people because they feel like they've been blasted
by everybody for having any traditional thoughts, for being masculine
and liking beer in football, that the problems of the
world are all their fault, which is a bunch of crap,
and you know that it is. That's why they look
for people like Jordan Peterson and for some men, young
men in particular, they didn't maybe have a father figure.

(01:32:34):
For some men, they have grown up and they've gone
to school and they feel like everything is their fault,
so they're searching for something else. And the one thing
the Republicans aren't doing is they're not telling him you're bad,
you're evil, you're wrong, you're all the things. Everything is
your fault and you need to get out of the way.
So if you wonder why they're heading in that direction,

(01:32:56):
there's a reason one side has their arms wide open.
Just as much everybody talks about abortion and all that stuff,
and how that's where the women are and that's where
they're going. And look at them, and they're celebrating it.
The men go to one side. It's because they're misogynists
and they're scummy and they're evil, and that's a bunch
of crap. Crap. I say it is Wednesday, people, it's
good woke. It's that time of the week where we

(01:33:18):
get you woke. Correct, Queen, not only are they act.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
Hurting our kids directly make everything better?

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
Correctuens are fine. Just my gender is a complete nightmare.

Speaker 12 (01:33:27):
You a trans women get breast feet and this is
great news.

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
No, no, no, no no, there's something I need to
telling you. The princess who came to your ball tonight
with me, I'm Gonzarella.

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
That's the one where Harry waves the magic wand and
turns everybody back to their select gender and miss Danny it.

Speaker 36 (01:33:46):
You can't speculate about someone's sexuality unless they're famous or.

Speaker 14 (01:33:49):
Pepper and Patty.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
It's time for woke Wednesday. I love this. This is
a woke teacher explaining to the kids who she is.
The parents are there, by the way, And if you
don't think there's a poor to get kids to buy
in to this, wackiness, listen to the teacher, and then
listen to the parents who really weren't having it.

Speaker 24 (01:34:06):
Okay, class, So I am teacher Darren, and my pronouns
are going to be z zer zer zers and zer self.
So that's how you will address me. Yes, but what
about she her her her herself?

Speaker 22 (01:34:24):
That's what we know.

Speaker 46 (01:34:25):
Yes, but I am gender neutral, so I am not
a female, nor am I a male?

Speaker 47 (01:34:32):
I would be in between, yes, in the back. I'm sorry,
I'm confused. Are you Are you mister Darren, miss Darren? No,
I am teacher Darren.

Speaker 3 (01:34:44):
This is not going well.

Speaker 12 (01:34:45):
You look like a.

Speaker 46 (01:34:45):
Pretty lady to me, Well, thank you. Most people would
take that as a compliment. But I am gender neutral,
so I am not a lady. I can be pretty,
but not a lady.

Speaker 16 (01:34:56):
Yes, uh so, so.

Speaker 11 (01:35:00):
You can't be pretty, or I say I can be pretty.
So you can be pretty and you can be handsome.
But you were not a she that is pretty and
you were not a he that is handsome.

Speaker 24 (01:35:10):
Correct. That would make no sense. I'm confused.

Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
This is going well, isn't it? First day of school?

Speaker 24 (01:35:18):
Can we just call you by what you look like?
Your pronouns are no because that would be disrespectful. My
pronouns are z zer zers and zer self.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
That's kind of disrespectful to like put stuff in our faces,
into our heads that we don't necessarily want to align with.

Speaker 24 (01:35:36):
No, it wouldn't be because that's the way the world works.

Speaker 17 (01:35:39):
I'm just saying the whole world, Like the USA is
like two percent of the world.

Speaker 19 (01:35:45):
There's so many other consonants and countries that don't want to,
you know, and still listen to their youth.

Speaker 24 (01:35:51):
Okay, well let's start by doing it in this classroom.

Speaker 12 (01:35:54):
If you don't know, my mom are dead.

Speaker 24 (01:35:56):
I told them this probably come up here.

Speaker 33 (01:35:59):
You probably job.

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
This is not going well.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
One more.

Speaker 3 (01:36:05):
This one, though, is from a mom to a kid
go into kindergarten.

Speaker 48 (01:36:09):
Job, they be ready for kindergarten?

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
Okay, boogie?

Speaker 48 (01:36:12):
How many genders are there?

Speaker 3 (01:36:13):
Two?

Speaker 11 (01:36:14):
Two?

Speaker 21 (01:36:15):
And you are boy?

Speaker 16 (01:36:16):
Can you be a girl?

Speaker 32 (01:36:17):
No?

Speaker 48 (01:36:18):
Can girls be boys?

Speaker 43 (01:36:19):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:36:20):
Okay?

Speaker 47 (01:36:21):
What do you say if someone starts talking about being
transgender or gay?

Speaker 25 (01:36:26):
This is that appropriate conversation?

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
Good? And what do we say?

Speaker 5 (01:36:30):
Drugs are losers and kindnessm doesn't work?

Speaker 39 (01:36:34):
Good?

Speaker 48 (01:36:35):
Job, they be ready for kindergarten.

Speaker 22 (01:36:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
I love that. Oh my God, jeez, Chad. What First
of all, what's your name? What do you want to
go by? Teacher, Darren, Darien? Whatever? Okay, how about teacher?
Can we just do that? I go back to this.
I had gay teachers. I'm sure I know some of
my teachers were married. I understand that. Outside of that.

(01:36:57):
I know nothing about my teachers, outside of any any
of that. I do you know who they supported politically?
I don't know any of the stuff. Who they worshiped,
who they didn't worshiped. Outside of going to Christian school,
I didn't know any of those things. But it does
bring us to this. We were talking about Last Hour
and the quote unquote Manifesto, which is not from the
Covenant shooting is out and the debate of should or

(01:37:20):
shouldn't children be allowed to switch their gender and it's
very controversial, As you know, I am on the no,
they shouldn't. You don't make life altering decisions at a
young age like that. That's just something you're not going
to do based on the fact that you may be
having serious issues mentally and the data doesn't support it.
But it does chat according to who, According to a

(01:37:40):
bunch of people that are terrified politically to say anything different.
One group of people in the American Medical Association, if
you will, have said no, we're not doing this.

Speaker 17 (01:37:49):
It's one of the most divisive issues in America right now,
gender affirming care for minors, and the justification for it
has been all the major US medical groups support it,
but that is no longer the case.

Speaker 49 (01:38:01):
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons position is right now,
there isn't great data supporting gender firming care and adolescents.

Speaker 17 (01:38:11):
Doctor Stephen Williams, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons,
says there is considerable uncertainty as to the long term
efficacy for these surgeries, and that the existing evidence based
is viewed as lowy.

Speaker 3 (01:38:25):
Low quality, very low quality, by the way, and we're
seeing lawsuit after lawsuit, not just here, we've got European
countries running away from it. The Cash report came out,
it was slammed by activists who put pressure on medical
associations based on they're not real wacky, Hey, we should
experiment on children. Polls that they do. Sorry, it just

(01:38:47):
doesn't work. Scientific data, there isn't enough of it. There
just isn't Pumping kids full of hormones and changing who
they are is not healthy, especially when they're going through
a lot.

Speaker 17 (01:38:57):
As a plastic surgeon, if a thirteen year old king
to you and said I want to have a double mastectomy.

Speaker 49 (01:39:02):
Right to preferm Gender affirming care and adolescents, And the
reason why is because I don't think the data supports it,
and so my practice, we don't even entertain that. You
personally don't, I personally do not because the data doesn't
support it. Because the data doesn't support it, and also
because I think that the navigating some of the parental
child interactions and trying to figure out motivations for care

(01:39:24):
and that overall social milieu that definitely affects adolescens. I
find it incredibly complicated, and as a physician, it's important
that you're able to perform care that you're confident in.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
And they don't feel confident because they recognize that. Look,
we have women who come in for rest enlargement and
they're unhappy with it. You're telling me to take a
thirteen year old and add something and subtract some things,
and that somehow based on the fact that they've got
some hormones and that they feel like they're their life
is out of control. If they don't get this, they're
being told by people that they're they're they're going to

(01:39:59):
kill themselves, and scared into it that I should do this. Sorry,
it ain't gonna happen that way.

Speaker 17 (01:40:03):
Doctor Shiel and Azarian, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and
member of the ASPS, takes it further. She says, political
capture is part of the issue.

Speaker 48 (01:40:11):
This is one hundred percent in America political issue. Whereas
if we look in Europe, very progressive governments have backed
off of these procedures and minors because they're just analyzing
the data as we should with every procedure, every medication,
every medical pursuit that we undertake, we should be looking
at data, not just in the US, but from our colleagues.

(01:40:34):
We do that for every other type of procedure.

Speaker 17 (01:40:37):
One hurdle to productive research, she says, is the part
is in divide over youth gender medicine here in America.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
And that is a big hurdle because the activists have
got a hold of people. They've terrified people. I get
them coming after me when I talk about this. Sorry,
you shouldn't be experimenting on children, just shouldn't happen. If
you feel that in your ten that you're a girl
or you're a boy, and you're going to feel that
way when you're twenty five, then go ahead and do
to force it on people and to scare people into
doing stuff. I'm sorry, this is children we're talking about.

Speaker 12 (01:41:06):
Is there any part of this that keeps you up
at night?

Speaker 11 (01:41:08):
All of it?

Speaker 49 (01:41:09):
I lose sleep over it because the one part that's
definitely not quite there yet is we need better data
when it comes to adolescent gender affirming care. We need
to do more work here. It's not clear that these
surgeries in adolescents are the right thing. It's not clear
that we're we fully understand the consequences, is not fully

(01:41:31):
clear that we're doing them at the right time in
the right way. And so until there's more data on that,
I think everyone's concerned on all sides.

Speaker 16 (01:43:11):
Kids.

Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
People very excited about the glitch that was robbing a bank.

Speaker 16 (01:43:16):
A set is.

Speaker 10 (01:43:17):
Heavy, it's lard up, no.

Speaker 16 (01:43:23):
Bit, no.

Speaker 18 (01:43:28):
You getting, you gaining three racks, and you better not
say nothing to Chase.

Speaker 3 (01:43:32):
Something to Chase right now for forty.

Speaker 18 (01:43:35):
Chase going for forty, so you gaining three racks, You
better not say nothing of Chase Man the bass bust.

Speaker 19 (01:43:43):
All these people are left with astronomical negative balances in
their Chase accounts, ringing from negative eleven thousand dollars, it's
a negative forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
Yeah, what did they do? They found a glitch, that's
what they called it. It was a glitch. You mean
like when Quantus Airlines last week had a glitch, and
the glitch was they were allowing you to buy first
class tickets for a while for like two hundred bucks
that are normally ten thousand. Nope, that was their mistake,
that was their glitch. This glitch was you could rob

(01:44:11):
the bank, which checking illegal, were.

Speaker 21 (01:44:16):
Able to write yourself a check in essence for whatever
amount you wanted to posit it, and then the money
was almost immediately. Those funds were almost immediately available to you.
It was not taking the usual two to three business
days for the bank to verify the check and then
to make those funds available. When a few people found
out this was possible, they took to social media. It

(01:44:37):
went viral, and I think it just highlights the vulnerabilities
our financial system is under now in a day and
age where everything's digital and misinformation can spread like wildfire.

Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
And people are stupid and barely their thieves and criminality
and all of the things.

Speaker 12 (01:44:56):
Was it legal.

Speaker 3 (01:44:58):
You stole from the bank, went in and robbed the
bank with a gun. It was the same thing you
but what you did was even worse because you didn't
have a mask or a gun. You had your face
everywhere with your ATM card. I can't even explain how
stupid you are. Please don't vote.

Speaker 21 (01:45:18):
The fact of the matter is this will always come
back to bite you, and we saw that happen today.
So ignorance is not an excuse for breaking the law.
Folks might say, well, look it was this so called glitch,
and I did this and I got the money, and
so it was my money, not the case.

Speaker 3 (01:45:32):
Yeah, who raised you, whoever it is, they did a
poor job, and you celebrating it was ridiculous. And there
were people out there on the TikTok throwing money in
the air, celebrating it with their atm, telling everybody to
come on down. And there are people standing and by
the way, lots of people standing in line, men, women

(01:45:55):
thinking it's free money. It ain't free, your dumbass.

Speaker 21 (01:46:00):
I don't know whether or not they're going to ask
for jail time. We do know that they have put
a freeze on some people's accounts. They are demanding the
money back. So this is a serious crime and it
could have long lasting effects for the people who participated,
including affecting their credit scores, allowing them to get access
to some of the bank services.

Speaker 3 (01:46:19):
You're an idiot. That's it. That's all I should say.
You're an idiot. Nothing else I could say here, You're
an idiot. What's the crime. Idiot? You stole from the bank.

Speaker 12 (01:46:31):
That's what you did.

Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
I'm fascinated by the stupidity of it all. That's what
I'm fascinated by, the stupidity the ignorance and no time
did you think I don't know if I should be
taking out of eleven thousand dollars I don't have from
the bank. My face, by the way, is in front
of because when you go to the ATM, that little mirror,

(01:46:54):
it's not so like how do I look, it's so like, hey,
we're looking at you. So there's that. And then you're
using your ATM machine with your ATM card that you've
come to a thousand times. Probably, I think the most
fascinating thing out of all of this, besides the stupidity,
is where did people get checks? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at chadventson show?

(01:47:16):
Is your Twitter tweet at us text the show is
that time of the show, Bring a little stupid information, and.

Speaker 6 (01:47:22):
Then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:47:26):
It will take stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 10 (01:47:28):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict they're going to do something
incredibly stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
Now you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid little astro time. You should never underestimize the
predictability of stupidity.

Speaker 24 (01:47:46):
Now it's time for.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
Stupid information, you know, as people rob the bank thinking
they'd found a glitch. In reality, Chase's gonna get their
money back. Some of these people may go to jail.
It got me thinking, what's the biggest bank heist of
all time? Well, the biggest bank heist Central Bank of
Iraq two thousand and three, A billion dollars stolen. What yep?

(01:48:15):
The theft was orchestrated by Quase Hussein, who is no
longer with us, son of then President Saddam. He apparently
authorized it. He was later apprehended and sentenced while his father,
the president, was killed in gun battles. By the way,
he they stole a billion in cash, six hundred and
fifty million was recovered, three hundred fifty million gone, probably

(01:48:37):
never seen again ever ever ever. But then it got
me think, okay, so that's something that you know, what
about like bank heist that we would think of The
Banco Central burglary two thousand and five. Ingenius. Yes, so
this happened when burglars established a landscaping business near the

(01:48:59):
Brazilian Central Bank. Over a three month period, they tunneled
through seventy eight meters disabled the security system, broke through
one point one meters that's about three point six feet
of steel reinforced concrete. They entered the bank vault. The
Brazilian Federal Police made several arrests in connection with the
heist and recovered a portion of the stolen money. Pulling
off the heist on a country central bank has no

(01:49:21):
small achievement. They took an estimated seventy million dollars. Now
you know a little something you didn't know three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
That's your Twitter, your Instagram. You guys, have a blessed
rest of your day. We got you over the hump,
as always like to say, Night night Jack.

Speaker 2 (01:49:41):
