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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yesterday in Georgia, a shooting killed four, wounded several others,
perpetrated by a fourteen year old, and you're gonna heal.
People say this was a tragedy, it was not. It
was cold blooded murder. It was an act of evil.

(00:38):
But it didn't take long for it to become politics.
And I'm here to tell you. We can have all
the gun laws we want, we can have all of
the things that the people who want to control guns want,
but the reality is if you're not going to a

(00:58):
enforce those things and b and this may be the
most important portion of them. Understand what we're looking for
in certain people, and when they give us signals that
maybe we should pay attention. You see, this fourteen year
old was on the radar when he was thirteen. He
was telegraphing potentially the things that he was going to do.

(01:21):
There was even a call to the school apparently. And
again some of this information will change, as we all know,
but one thing's for sure, the FBI seemed to be
aware of him.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
The FBI in the Jackson County Sheriff's Office released a
joint statement that confirms that the fourteen year old accused
of shooting and killing four people today at Appalachi High
School had been on their radar before. They say he
was thirteen years old back in May of twenty twenty three,
when the FBI's National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous

(01:51):
tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at
an unidentified location and time. They say the online threats
contain photographs of guns, and that within twenty four hours,
the FBI determined the online post originated in Georgia, and
the FBI's Atlanta Field Office referred that information to the
Jackson County Sheriff's Office for further action, and the Jackson

(02:14):
County Sheriff's Office located a thirteen year old. They interviewed
both him and his father. The father stated he had
hunting guns in the house, but that his son did
not have unsupervised access to them.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
So on the radar. What happened there was even tips
earlier yesterday. Apparently it became politics immediately, which is frustrating.
There used to be a day and age when the
politics would come much later. And then what happens is
the dust settles. People take a deep breath and then

(02:49):
they can talk about certain things. It's not that anymore.
Like I said, within ten minutes, it was politics, politics, politics,
and it's frustrating because politics usually gets in the way
of getting things done and having conversations that are going
to advance the ball forward. To use the metaphor on

(03:10):
the radar, it is, I don't know what else you're
going to be able to do. It's like we could
talk about all the red flag laws, we could talk
about all the things that we want to do to
prevent some of these things. But the reality is, in
many cases, people ignore all the signs, and a lot

(03:32):
of times it's the people closest to them. This story
the other day about a guy who killed a rookie
police officer in Dallas, we haven't heard this story. The
rookie police officer, Officer Burks, is forty six years old.

(03:53):
The guy who killed him started to lose his mind
over the last several weeks, said demons were to get him.
Was filming saying the car behind me's got demons in
him and they're chasing me. They talked to his father
and his father said, oh yeah, we knew he had guns,
and we knew that demons were coming for him, and
you did nothing. You didn't think there was something to

(04:16):
do there. This kid obviously had serious issues, and we'll
find out what some of those issues were and are
in the coming days. I'm sure what the motivation was,
but he had serious issues, very serious issues, and obviously

(04:40):
was the danger. No matter how many signs people give,
the reality is some of the people the closest who
see those signs. If you don't act on him, it

(05:01):
doesn't matter if you're not willing to say, you know what,
I don't think my son as well. I think he
needs to seek serious help, help that I cannot give
him at home. I just can't. And that maybe you know,
and I'm not saying. You know, here's the thing about

(05:21):
the guns and the and and you know I said yesterday,
if somebody gets drunk, gets in a car, crashes kills people,
we want to hold them responsible for their actions. We
don't say alcohol did it. We don't say the car
did it. The gun is a different thing. But if

(05:43):
my kids lost the plot like this, first of all,
because I had been around it understanding what can happen.
I don't have guns anywhere near him, And I mean
anywhere near him. If we're not going to take the

(06:08):
cues that people give us, that's an issue. And no
matter how look you can, there's going to be times,
no matter what you do, stuff happens. No matter how
much that you try, you're not going to be able
to save everyone and to fix a situation that may

(06:30):
happen and stop it from happening, because sometimes people are
so hell Bent's got to make the effort. And that's
the whole thing. Well, it can't be my kid, There's
no way it could be my kid. There seem to
be a lot of red flags. How many times do
we do this? First of all, too many damn times

(06:50):
that we talk about stuff like this, whether it's somebody
who shoots up a bowling alley or somebody who goes
on a rampage at a school. The signs are there
over and over again, and nobody seems to follow them. Luckily,

(07:16):
yesterday it wasn't worse because what stops a bad guy,
or in this case, a bad kid with a gun
a good guy with a gun.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Obviously, the shooter was armed, and our school resource officer
engaged him, and the shooter quickly realized that if he
did not give up.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
That he would end.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
With an ois or an officer involved shooting. He gave up,
got on the ground, and the deputy took him into custody.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
The exact opposite to have took place in your faulty
is engage. Engage, engage, and the kid gave up. And
listening to the parents and the kids talk about by
the way, the teachers. Listening to some of the kids

(08:10):
talk about what the teachers did and how they went
about handling their business, protecting the kids first and foremost,
I thought was amazing. But hearing their stories firsthand and
seeing even and this is in the time that we
live in the digital age, seeing stuff being broadcast live
again is scary.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Af The teachers came in and they were like, everybody,
get on the floor, cover ourselves.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Like we were all like hugging each other.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
So we were all like it was a small little
ball of us, like all holding each other. And I remember,
like my friends crying.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Why wouldn't you You'd be terrified because you realize at
that point in time, you have no way to fight back.
And of course this is gonna be brought up. Should
teachers have It's a conversation that. First of all, I
don't want my teachers to have guns, But would I
like them to have an option if there's no school

(09:09):
resource officer, to have one or two people that are trained.
I don't have a problem with that. Do I want
my fourth grade teacher, Missus Price, one of the few
teachers I remember, it's kind of a hoty, Do I
want her to have a gun? I do not. Missus Paul,

(09:32):
my fifth grade teacher, shea very sweet lady. But no, no, no,
I don't even want her to have mace. But would
I like there to be an option if the school
chooses so, to have somebody? I'd have no problem with that.

(09:53):
I think about my kids. I want to know they're protected.
I want to know that there is a good guy
who has the power to stop a bad guy. It
is frustrating because again politics gets in the way of
conversations and common sense gets tossed out of the window

(10:16):
because people are more interested in the hype and the
blowing the issue up than actually trying to solve problems.
And the problem here is red flags everywhere, tips everywhere.
A map that he had kind of sound like and

(10:39):
from the information we're getting again, some of the stuff
will change a roadmap to what he was going to do,
And the only time that it was stopped is when
a good guy with a gun stopped him from killing more.

(11:00):
A lot of stuff to talk about today. Three two three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's show,

Speaker 7 (12:58):
Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson ship hip hop.

Speaker 8 (13:12):
We have this thing you step up or you step off.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
You need to know your place. Is there any merit
in those criticisms? Yeah, Look, it's really it is really
sad to hear those criticisms.

Speaker 9 (13:29):
And I am very sorry for, you know, the backlash
that the community has experienced, but I can't control how
people react. Unfortunately, we just need some more resources in
Australia for us to have a chance to beat world
champions you know, historically, unfortunately we haven't had the best

(13:51):
track record of winning world championships.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
So you know, I don't think that's just on me.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's Reagun, the Aussie brand dancer. Yeah, and hip hop
you step up or step off? First of all, the
hate that she got at times was ridiculous. Also the
love people loved her, the wackiness, the craziness. She became
a meme. And I think she's starting to understand Okay,
I can play this for all it's worth. But she

(14:18):
talked about resources. Now, I'm gonna throw this out there.
If you are an Aboriginal kid and you want to
play ice hockey, yeah, I don't think we have the
resources that mite. Sorry about that, and he can be like, man,
I really want to play ice hockey. No, there's no
resource for that. Hip hop, breakdancing music and a place

(14:42):
to dance. What more resources do you need. You don't
need a hoop, you don't need a field, you don't
need anything. You need some music, you need some some
really good beats, and that's it. We'll let more on
this because it's funny. She's out speaking for the first
time and there's controversy on the peacock pulled down all

(15:04):
of her stuff. So you can't go back and watch it,
but I will tell you this. I watched so the
Paralympics are going on. They have break dancing in the
Paralympics and it is awesome. And no it's not. It's
not the special Olympics there, you know. I watch this

(15:24):
guy comes out, he's on crutches, he's missing a leg,
and he does like three flips on his crutches. Then
he throws it down and he starts doing the power moves.
It was amazing. It was incredible. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chet Benson Show.
It's your Twitter tweet at his text the program right
here on the Chad Benson Show. She said in the

(15:51):
interview she knew she was going to lose. She knew
she had no business being there and had no chance
of winning. And I think, and she kind of admitted,
I didn't realize how big this was going to be.
I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. And
that's on her, no doubt about that. I don't think
she deserved the hate though. Got some tweets and text
about something I posted yesterday ten minutes after the shooting.

(16:15):
It was politics, and we've touched on it. We've got
some of your tweets and texts coming up in a
minute about that. But today, remember the Hunter Biden thing. Yeah,
there's a trial that's getting ready to start.

Speaker 10 (16:28):
In a case brought by Special Counsel David Wise, Hunter
Biden faces nine tax related counts after he was convicted
on gun charges in Delaware in June. He's accused here
of spending millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle without
paying one point four million dollars in taxes while he
was in the throes of a cocaine addiction. Biden is
pleaded not guilty, saying he did pay all of the

(16:50):
taxes after he became sober in twenty nineteen. Jury selection
will begin today with a pool of one hundred potential.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Jurors, and it's very interesting because he did pay all
the time. Access This though, is going to be interesting
because it's kind of now nobody cares, and it shows
you the politics of what goes on. Nobody cares anymore
because Biden stepped away. Nobody really cares anymore in the
sense that this isn't gonna get the coverage it would
have had Biden decided to continue to run. So this

(17:19):
will be interesting to see how this plays out and
the coverage it gets and what will be exposed or
won't be exposed. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Twitter
tweet at US text the program. Do the Republicans secretly
want Trump to lose? We're going to talk about that
a lot of other stuff as well. So Chad Benson.

Speaker 11 (17:38):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 12 (18:05):
Oh, I started running. He started shooting, like like ten times.
He shot at least at least ten times and then
I ran to the back of the classroom. I died
behind the desk, and my teacher had gotten in front
of me, like he was guarding, but like the gunshots
were so close to me, Like my ears started ringing
real bad, Like the whole classroom was smoking.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, he listened to that kid right there talking about
teacher jumping in front of trying to protect him. Wasn't
the only teacher, a person on campus who was an
adult who did that.

Speaker 13 (18:39):
His coach hanging up locking his door and locking the
door pers to prevent the shooter for coming in his classroom.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
It is another sad situation, and then the politics gets
involved in the way. It goes everything any common sense
or conversation. It's the NRA's fault, it's the it's the
gun's fault. It's the kid's fault, the evil SOB who
did this. The warning signs were there, they were ignored.

(19:13):
Now again, stuff will change. We may find out that
people were a lot more in the know about what
this kid may have done. We may find out that
his dad didn't really know. But it's kind of hard
I think dad didn't really know, considering the fbi'd been
to your house last year to talk about it. But

(19:36):
maybe he'd got a lot of therapy and his therapist
is like, hey, look he's turned the corner. But by
all accounts, at this point in time, I think we
realize that there was a roadmap. This guy was leaving
crumbs everywhere of what he was going to do. The
other day we talked about the manifesto that really was

(19:56):
a diary from the Covenant shooter in Nashville. I don't
know what anybody else needs to see. That person was hurting,
that person was mentally unstable. That person had told their
therapist this. The road map of what that person was
going to do was in front of everybody. All of

(20:17):
us knows somebody who's got issues, maybe it's you. And
for the most part, ninety nine nine percent of people
will never act on any of those issues. And I'm
not just talking about walking in and shooting up a place.
I'm talking about harming themselves certain things like that. With
my family, my little brother, who I love dearly, he's
got issues. And when I mean issues, he's got issues. Kids.

(20:38):
I bring you guys into my life. It's got some
serious issues. And to the point I'm just wanting to
give you guys a snapshot, So if he's just a
quick snapshot into the world that we live in. I've
got nieces and nephews that my mother's adopted. She's raising,
my sister. She's a hot mess. And my sister caused
a lot of this because of the drugs and the
damage she did to these kids. The four younger ones,

(21:01):
the three older ones, they're fine, And the younger ones,
for the most part, are fine except for Spencer. If
you guys heard me talk about Spencer, my brothers just
turned twenty one. Was never supposed to live to night,
let alone twenty one years wheelchair, can't walk, can't talk,
breeze out of a tube, eats out of a tube.
He may be the best of the bunch. Song See

(21:22):
the other ones are nuts. But then I've got my
little brother, Elijah, who I love dearly. But to give
you guys a sense of what issues that he can have,
he has a therapist come to the house every morning
to help him get ready because he has defiant order.
They come at night, almost nightly. To say that there

(21:48):
is a worry would be a lie. But we recognize
that we're doing everything we can with that. But understanding
at the age of thirteen, and he has grown out
of a lot of different things, and he's a very
loving kid. But you have to watch him because his
first instinct is to, at this age right now, be mischievous.

(22:17):
But he's also been prone at times to be violent,
and we pay attention to that, and you hope and
pray that nothing happens, but you can only do so much.
And I recognize that. And for the years that when
I was in southern California, I coached my brother Spencer,
the one I told you about in wheelchair, I coached

(22:37):
his special needs soccer team. No, not the Paralympics, It's
just a regular old special lead soccer team. We had
kids with Down syndrome, we had kids with autism, we
had the kids with serious issues. And I coached his
basketball team as well, and one of the kids that
played on the other basketball team, because it really was
only two basketball teams, they would just play each other

(22:59):
every week. He was his dad was like six ' three,
he was like fifteen, and he was about six six
and his dad said, we're gonna have to put him
in a home. We can't control them, and he's getting
out of control. In the nature that he has is violent.
We can't do it. And his dad was huge. You

(23:20):
recognize there are certain signs, but some people don't want
to believe that their kid could do that. This guy gave,
by all accounts, was giving signs everywhere to the point
where the FBI came and visited Pops and him. Like
I said, the politics gets involved and then it goes
sideways and we can't have a conversation. But to have laws,

(23:42):
to put things in place, to have road maps of
what somebody is going to do. Potentially we're gonna find out.
I bet that there was a lot of, as we
always tend to do in situations like this, a lot
of things that were missed along the way or ignored

(24:05):
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson's show to Twitter Instagram. Do the Republicans
want Trump to lose? Some do?

Speaker 14 (24:16):
As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares
about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this and
because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only
am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will
be voting for Conald Harris.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
That is Liz Cheney. She's just her hatred of Trump
is spectacular. But now you've just told me you hate
your values. No, I love the Constitution. No, you love
the party and what it used to be the corporation. No,
it's not what it used to be. God, I remember

(24:54):
the fun we used to have here. You love that.
But there's an article that came out about quietly the
Republicans are telling people they want Trump to lose. And
it's in Politico, and it's done by Jonathan Martin, senior

(25:14):
editor over there. And it's very interesting because I've talked
to Republicans straight down the middle, old school kind of
you know, small government Republicans. They're not a fan of Trump.
They would like him to go away. Why is that
Because he's moved the party in a different direction. It's

(25:35):
now his party and that bugs and it bugs the
hell out of him. And they don't want him to lose.
They want him to get boat raced because they feel
the only way to get rid of him is if
he gets blown out of the water. And they also
lose seats in the House Senate, and then they can

(26:01):
feel like, Okay, you've won one and then you lost
a bunch midterms, another presidential election, another midterms, a special
Senate race in Georgia, and they go on. That's what
a lot of them are. They're part of, you know
what people like to call the uniparty, because there is

(26:26):
this hope that they can get rid of from You're
not You're not going to by the way, Trump has
done something. He is not a politician, and that is
evident on a daily basis. But he's exposed a lot
that people don't like to hear, and Republicans don't like
to hear. He exposed a lot of the bs that

(26:47):
goes on in Washington. He was right about the swamp,
he was right about a lot of the stuff. Now
along the way he is misspoke and misstepped, said things
that were ridiculous, lied for the dumbest thing out there,
and he's made their job harder. He's made their job

(27:08):
way harder at times because he didn't fall in line.
He doesn't and I always hear you know, he's only
in it for himself, really, because that guy's taking a
kick to the grundle. In more occasions than I can remember,
that guy has got he's lost tons of money, his

(27:29):
name's been absolutely squished. They have come after him through
law fair They've done so many things, which makes you
start to think, if you're somebody who's not in the
quote unquote club, hey, maybe there is something to what
this guy is doing and how he's upset the apple cart.

(27:50):
Maybe Chris Galiza formerly of CNN, now he's got a
really cool substack. He needs to check that out. Talking
last night about the article, is it true? Do they
want him gun? Is it even possible?

Speaker 15 (28:02):
Well, the establishment is a little worried about Donald Trump
and they'd love to usher him off the stage.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, no kidding. Also, Donald Trump has taken over the
entire party.

Speaker 16 (28:12):
And the most important thing you said in that open
lyland was this, the base loves Trump.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
They have zero interest in moving on. And that's all
that matters. The base loves him. Now, there are Republicans
out there that can compartmentalize his ridiculousness at times and
is over the topness and the wacky stuff that he does,

(28:39):
and recognize that he governs pretty damn good when you
go just look at straight across the board, the governance
of it all. And he's not a Republican. You know,
people say, we Republicans use to be for small government.
Trump's not a Republican. Trump is Trump. He's in the
Republican Party because that's the way the system is, but
he's not a Republican. And the Republicans, for the most part,

(29:03):
have a band in all of the things they used
to be, small government, all all the stuff that there's
none of what they used to be anymore. He's changed
so many things when it comes to politics, and he's
exposed a lot of stuff. But if you don't think
that quietly in many places, from DC to your home state,

(29:28):
that there aren't people in that party that want him
to lose and lose bad because for them business will
be better, you're fooling yourself. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three act you had Benson show

So they're making this thing that they're dominating the weekend.
So you got tonight tomorrow, then all day Sunday, and

(32:41):
then Monday. Tomorrow night's game is in Brasil. They're going global, kids,
They're going to Brasil. Oh really yes, and not everybody's
stoked by it. So you've got the Eagles and the Packers,
tomorrow night and Sapalo. But there is a serious worry

(33:02):
about crime in the country because Brazil is a hot
mess and because of that, they told the players, Yeah,
you guys can't do anything. So wait, you're taking us
to a place that is out of the country so
we can spread the word and we shouldn't leave our hotel.
This is Darius Sleigh from the Eagles talking about if

(33:25):
he's excited or not to go on the trip.

Speaker 18 (33:28):
This is on his podcast earlier this week Week one.
I am looking forward to it. I can't wait, but man,
I do not want to go to Brazil. And you
want to know why. I'm going to tell you why.
They already told us not to leave the hotel. They
told us we can't do too much going on because
it's the rate is crazy, you know what I'm saying.
I'm like, NFL, why don't y'all want to send us
somewhere with the crime rate this high? And like we

(33:50):
got the country.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, you are out the country some of the things
they're doing, which is insane. So they are and it's
going to be a sellout. People are super exciting Brazil
to see this, but the security operations and somebody hit
me up this week. He said, Hey, chat, are you
going to talk about it? So Ye're gonna talk about
later on in the week. They're going to be special

(34:13):
police forces that will be providing escorts to and from
the game for team buses. I mean, this is crazy.
I get wanting to spread the global reach of the NFL,

(34:35):
because as big as the NFL is here and it
is growing globally in places like Australia, in places like Europe,
South America's a new reach and I get that. The
issue I find is, first of all, your guys can't
leave the hotel. There's a worry about that. I mean,
it's almost as bad as San Francisco. It's not very

(34:58):
nice yet, but part of the experience is the guys
getting out there and doing things, sightseeing. The cameras follow them,
interacting with fans, and you put them in a position
where you're really just having the game there. And I
don't think that was a smart thing. Several of the
Eagles players like, we will not comment on this. Understandable,

(35:22):
understandable indeed three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet
at as text the program. Right here on the Chad
Benson Show, there will be a debate.

Speaker 19 (35:41):
The rules are set ABC News clarifying that the candidate's
microphones will be muted when it's not their term to speak,
they won't be allowed to bring any notes with them,
and they won't be allowed to question each other during
the debate.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
So rules are set in stone. Ish that's a win
for Trump because she can't bring notes, she can't have
a coach, and they're gonna shut his microphone off, so
that's a win for Trump. There we talked about the
debate a lot of other stuff to get to more
on what's taking place in Georgia, the shooting, the politics
around tragedies as well. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(36:16):
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's your
ex and your Insta, it is the Chad Benson Show.

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

(36:52):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
I was scared.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
I have so much fear, Like I'm so shacking, like
I was so scared and.

Speaker 6 (37:01):
On to the hallway that it happening.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
And that's when I saw like my math teacher and
he was all covered.

Speaker 6 (37:09):
I saw blood everywhere.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Four people dead, nine in the hospital. Several others were injured,
most likely from trying to escape glass fragments, things of
that nature. Another horrible event and a evil act is
the best way to describe what that was. That was
an evil act perpetrated by somebody who wanted to take

(37:32):
his pain and anger and get it out to the
rest of the world. And we've been talking about it
throughout the show. Mental illness, Mental illness, it is. It's
a serious issue. And access to guns. Yeah, but we
act as if we you know, because so many because

(37:55):
I posted something yesterday and then you know, people started,
of course arguing with each other, yelling at me, as
you do, as you do. The thing about this is
people say, well, they don't have these things in Australia.
Well they did have this in Australia. And then they
took away not all guns, people who still have guns,
but they took away what the quote unquote an assault rifle.

(38:20):
Within six weeks, all the states had banned certain guns.
Mental illness is a serious issue, no doubt the gun
and this is the problem. We turned it into a debate,
We turned into an argument. We don't turn it into
a conversation on how we go about figuring these things
out so we can prevent them. I watched this show

(38:45):
and it's I say, it's an older show. It's only
a couple of years old, but it's no longer on
Netflix as far as any new episodes. But if you
guys should check it out. It is called mind Hunters,
and if you don't know what it is, it is
the true story of how the FBI put together profilers
for serial killers. It started essentially in the basement with

(39:07):
this old kind of you know, he's not old, but
he was an older kind of gruff FBI guy and
a young, idealistic, you know, college graduate guy. And then
they brought a woman in who essentially is kind of
the doctor side of stuff, the psychology side of stuff,

(39:32):
and how they started to build what became known today
as modern profile. So the ones who came up with
serial killers, what did they do? They went and they
interviewed serial killers. You find out what made him tick.
The one thing about this is they've got him. Rarely happens.
You've got the kid in Parkland, you've got him. But

(39:55):
most of the time they want to go out in
a blaze of glory, most of the time they want
to die. But almost all the time, we can tell
you who these people are almost all the time. Yes,
every once in a while you're going to get something
that's an anomaly that you don't see that's truly a
lone wolf. But when you go look at serial killers,

(40:17):
when you go look at people who perpetrate acts like this,
they have a lot in common. And this guy was
on the radar.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
The FBI in the Jackson County Sheriff's Office released a

(40:47):
contain photographs of guns, and that within twenty four hours,
the FBI determined the online posts originated in Georgia, and

(41:10):

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, obviously he must have. Now it doesn't mean they've
gotten from dad. But the question is going to be
simply this, what did you know they came to your house?
They were concerned enough that they came to your house.
What did you know? Was he getting therapy? Was he
I mean, they were concerned enough. And of course, and
we talk about this, and I say this all the
time because this is one of those things where in

(41:43):
a time of information, not everything you see is real,
not everything you hear is real, and not everything that
you think there's no way that could be true isn't untrue.
So I've read several things that said there were warnings
yesterday that something happen. Apparently he went in was it school,

(42:07):
was in class, got up, left class, came back, the
door was locked. Where did he go? We went to
get the gun. And it is a frustrating thing because
they knew he was on the radar. There may have
been because for the most part Not only are they

(42:29):
giving you leads and clues about what they're going to do,
there are people within the sphere of influence of them
who understand that something might be going on. I talked
a bit about it last hour, the ignoring of signs.
Officer Darren Burk's was killed the other day in Dallas,

(42:55):
a forty six year old who was a teacher decided
to become a cop at forty six, was a rookie
was he was executed by a guy who his family
had said, oh, yeah, for the last couple of weeks,
he's been here and seeing demons everywhere. Yeah, oh we
knew he had guns. Yeah, of course he's got guns.

(43:16):
He has him in his car and stuff. But yeah,
he's nobody's saying anything, nobody's trying to do anything. So
there are all of these road maps, and you know,
like the profilers put stuff together, you kind of know
what you're looking for, you kind of know who you're
looking for. So we could talk about the rage killer

(43:41):
that does something like this. But when you go and look,
for the most part, go to Central casting, and you
will find virtually the same person over and over again.
Their ages may vary, but it's mostly white males pissed
off the world. Angry. Mental illness plays a role in

(44:03):
it in some occasions, some of it's just pure anger
and hate. Is that we miss the signs or we
ignore them. That's something that needs to be talked about
because within moments, again, it became a political issue. And
that's the frustrating thing, because once the politics gets involved,

(44:25):
it's no longer about solving an issue finding out how
we go about addressing certain issues. It's about can I
score points politically for myself? Can I beat somebody in
an argument online? That seems to be the thing that
matters to a lot of people more than anything else,

(44:46):
which is again takes away from actually trying to solve something,
and you're not going to be perfect. That's the other thing. Well,
we can't have these guns, these weapons of war and stuff,
and people talk about that. Go look at the numbers.
Handguns kill far more. In fact, I think long rifles
long guns killed about two percent, which is still way

(45:11):
more than we want. But recognize that it becomes so
political if it's I always say this, The reaction to
it reminds me of when I was a kid growing
up hearing stories of the way they used to call sharks.

(45:32):
There would be a shark attack, and they say, well,
we can't have this. Let's go out and kill all
the sharks, as if that's going to solve all the problems.
And obviously that didn't solve any of the problems, because
there's still shark attacks to this day. But it happened
so very rarely, and it became a big story and
everybody wanted some sort of reaction. It became an emotional thing.
And then they go kill all the sharks. I'm not

(45:53):
saying you go, you understand, say it's like, oh, let's
go take all away the guns. Does that mean nothing
like this is going to happen. No. I think we're
trying to solve something that is going to be tough
to solve if we don't come at it in a
non political way, which is hard to do because politics matters.
You know that three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

(46:15):
twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is your Twitter? Tweet
at us text the program. Uh, there's going to be
a debate. It's coming up soon. We're what sixty days
away from the election. Trump. For the most part, everybody's like, well,
Trump got his way in this next debate. No, he didn't.
It was the rules that we're always there, and Absa

(46:36):
said to Kamala, we're we're not changing the rules. We're
not going to do it. So this is what you get,
which is no notes, no ear pieces, no coaching from
the sidelines, and no microphone on and no challenging the
other person. So when you're not talking, your MIC's not on.

(46:58):
When it's not addressed to you, your MIC's not on.
And you can't challenge the other person when they're saying something.

Speaker 19 (47:02):
Trump fielding questions at a Fox News town hall in Pennsylvania,
painting a dark picture of the current state of the
nation and blaming the Biden administration with these clowns.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
So you haven't now you're going to end up having World.

Speaker 6 (47:16):
War three if she gets in.

Speaker 15 (47:17):
I think we will have a depression, nineteen twenty nine
style depression.

Speaker 6 (47:22):
That's what I think will happen to our country.

Speaker 19 (47:24):
Trump taking aim at Harris's economic plan.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
And you know, the economic plans are what they are.
They're hopes and dreams, but the reality is very little
of it is going to come to fruition, and it's
it's a wish list to people that makes them go yeah.
But first of all, if it was to come to fruition,
how do you pay for it? Somebody's got to pay

(47:50):
for it. So he's going to roll out his economic
plan today and we'll see what that looks like. And
then you can compare the two and realize, Okay, each
of them gives you twenty throw away eighteen of the things.
Maybe one kind of gets half done and then one
may get done. Because that's politics. Three two, three, five,

(48:11):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's
show to Twitter or Instagram, let me know what you think.
But about anything. Love to hear from you about what's
going on in Georgia obviously the shooting there. Love to
hear from you. Bullwark right now has something amazing. What

(49:36):
Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (49:48):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (49:51):
The data analysis firm Inrix has looked at traffic patterns worldwide,
finding that in most places, congestion is right where it
was before the COVID nineteen hut downs. In this country,
the average driver is spending forty two hours or a
whole work week stuck in traffic every year. The New
York Urban area has it worst of all. Drivers there
lose one hundred and one hours a year to congestion.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Traffic sucks. And you know, when you get older. It's
funny because when you're younger, you'll just you'll do anything right.
You'll just like a let's do it. I've always been
that way with traffic and parking. People like, why don't
you go do a lot of big things because I
get invited to all kinds of big events all the time. Honestly, traffic,
traffic and parking. I hate parking. And by that I mean,

(50:35):
you know, you go to a sporting event, and I
remember when we went when the World Cup was here
in ninety four, we went to all the games in
Los Angeles. Because at that time I was still really
connected the soccer world. So we had all the tickets,
we had everything we wanted, and I remember the nightmare
of the traffic as much as I remember any of
the games. And then I remember the parking lot because

(50:57):
where the games were played in the Rose Bowl, there's
one way in in, one way out, and you've got
one hundred thousand people, so about forty thousand cars, and
sometimes you were there for four or five hours, and
I'm like, I don't want to do it. And that's
when I didn't care about, uh, you know, whether or
not my time was worth money. But now it's just

(51:18):
like nah, no, I'm I'm you know, you get older,
it's like, hey, what's the parking link? Oh jeez? Chad
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet at his
texta program. I mean, yesterday there was Department of Justice
coming out unseiling things when it comes to Russia.

Speaker 21 (51:38):
This morning we unsealed an indictment in the Southern District
of New York of Konstantine Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasieva, two
Russian based employees of rt A, Russian state controlled media outlet.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
So here's where it gets interesting, because you know, it's Russia, Russia,
Russia all over again. There are people that are very
popular in the world of my business, opinion, pop culture, politics,
in particular Timpoole, Benny Johnson and several others Dave Rubin

(52:15):
who are indirectly tied into this. And I say indirectly
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benton Show is your Twitter tweet at
as text the program.

Speaker 21 (52:29):
The Justice Department is seizing thirty two Internet domains that
the Russian government and the Russian sponsored actors have used
to engage in a covert campaign to interfere and influence
the outcome of our country's elections.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
And that is important, the outcome of it. We're going
to talk a bit about that and how these people
were indirectly tied into it. Talk a bit about that
coming up. Also, more text are coming in. Obviously the
Georgia shue a big story. But the people who don't

(53:07):
understand what our constitution means from other countries because they
see a tragedy, well, and let me rephrase that's that's
that's not a right phrase. That yesterday was an evil act.
A tragedy is the Titanic. Nobody set out to sink

(53:31):
the ship, but it happened. That was an evil act
perpetrated by a disturbed young man. People just don't get
the freedoms we have, and especially from other countries. And
I remember being in England and them not quite understanding

(53:53):
what freedom was all about and the Constitution. And it
is very interesting because a lot of people have commented
from different countries on a post I did yesterday. We're
gonna talk a bit about that as well. Reach out
to us across all of our social media. I do
love hearing from your three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter, It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (54:18):
Then Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Stop me if you've heard this one before. Russia, Russia, Russia,
They're back at it. No, yes, did you guys know
that they're trying to influence our elections? No, we would
never do that us. Settle down. We do that all

(55:04):
the time and pretty much every place we possibly can.
So they did it to us, as they've done in
the past and we'll do in the future. So is
China right now. That's not a shocker either. In fact,
every country on Earth tries to influence in some way,

(55:28):
shape or form their enemies, their friends, their allies, their frenemies.
It's what happens. How did this one come about? You
have an organization called Artie Russia today that is Putin's
best friend over here. They set up a bunch of domains,

(55:58):
fake names, set up fank accounts, and funneled money to
a company that had kind of been put together by
several different political influencers, Tim Poole, I liked Tim by
the way, Dave Rubin, I've had Dave on the show.

(56:21):
I like Dave, Benny Johnson know who he is, very popular,
and several others. And so they put together this company
and about ten million dollars was spent on these influencers

(56:41):
or these political pundits on their shows. And what they
were doing now they had nothing to do with. They
just thought somebody had set up something and you know, wanted, Hey,
they want us to talk about this, or you know,
they want to advertise on their show, and they so
they it wasn't them. They were being used and even

(57:03):
Tempole came out to the other and said, look, you know,
we might be the victims here on this, and we'll
find out more. But you know, it was about propaganda
and helping Trump.

Speaker 22 (57:15):
If you look at the court documents, it is clear
their aim was to benefit the candidacy of Donald Trump. Again,
but more broadly, obviously they have an interest in promoting
the Russian government. They have an interest in promoting less
involvement by the US in assisting Ukraine and its war
against Russia, and also just basically the broader destabilization of

(57:38):
the US more distrust in our institutions.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
And our institutions do that enough for themselves. There's no
doubt about that, do I Mean, this happens all the time,
and we talk about it, and the Chinese do it
every day, and we do it to them, and we
do it to Russia. You don't think we do everything
we possibly can. And so you know, they're making this
all about the political pundits, the influencers, whatever you call it.

(58:07):
It's not about them. They were just a tool that
Russia was putting out there. By the way, here's something
Putin came out today and endorsed Kamala Harris. Of course
that's not real. Of course, that's what he wants everybody
to believe. He doesn't want Kamala Harris. He'd like it
to be nobody. If that's possibility. He'd like four more

(58:28):
years of Biden. I'm sure.

Speaker 23 (58:30):
Kadidio one involved the seizure of about thirty two Internet
domains that the Justice Department alleges was used by a
top deputy to Russian President Vladimir Putin to essentially inject
disinformation into the US political sphere via social media, essentially
pushing things like anti Ukraine propaganda, things that were also

(58:52):
related to you know, pushing pro Russia and government narratives.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
And you know, you've got enough of that with the
likes of Carlson, who's just by the way, just ane
of you guys. Have you know I I never watched
Tucker really. I've had him on the show before several
years ago, you know, a couple times for his books
before he seemed to go into this bizarre world of

(59:19):
being the anti whatever you are is the way I
always look at it, and uh, yeah, there's there there
there are groups out there that are pushing certain things.
And this group wanted to show everybody, look at what
America is doing. They're spending all of these billions of dollars,
giving all this money over here to Ukraine. They're wasting

(59:41):
it and they're really the enemy. Rush is not and
some of them, you know, bought into that. Putin's the enemy,
by the way, Just let you guys know, the pooter
is the enemy of Ukraine. Is here the enemy to us? Eh?
Not really not the way that people think. But is
it the enemy to a a peaceful Europe? You can

(01:00:02):
make that argument easily. And I have to say this
over and over again. We give Ukraine very little in dollars.
We give ourselves, meaning the military industrial complex, billions of
dollars on a credit card that we say, go ahead
and swipe it and send them some weapons. People will

(01:00:22):
make a huge deal out of this today. How big
is it? What kind of influence? You know? They're doing that?
I don't have to tell you that. Everybody knows they're
doing that. So is China, so was North Korea, so
is Venezuela if they have the opportunity, and anybody else
that doesn't like what we bring in freedoms and our
way of life and wants to upend it and get

(01:00:45):
us fighting with one another, and we do the same
to them three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter
tweet at us text the program. I guess we should
talk a little bit about the elections. Yes, is there
any polls?

Speaker 8 (01:01:01):
Of course, our new polling shows yes, some Harris momentum.
But the big headline is this is a very very,
very very I could ad a few more very close races.
Here's our new polling. Harris ahead in Wisconsin outside the margin.
Harris ahead in Michigan, just outside the margin, that gets
her to two fifty right, Donald Trump ahead in Arizona
outside the margin that, let me make that red, that
would move him up to two forty six.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Pretty close, right, And.

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Then you mentioned these other states are too close to
call Pennsylvania a genuine tide.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Let's just say Harris is exact.

Speaker 8 (01:01:28):
Is really plus one in Georgia and plus one in Nevada.

Speaker 6 (01:01:32):
This is just one poll.

Speaker 8 (01:01:33):
This is a hypothetical here that alone, though, if she
could help that, we'll get her to two hundred and
seventy two, and she could win the presidency without Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
And that's a big if again both of there. It's
really interesting because I don't buy a lot of these poles,
partially because buyers are liars. We've talked about that on numerusicasions.
People will tell you what they think you want to hear.
More often than not. They also just sometimes lie because
they want to the other side of it is, what's

(01:02:03):
these polls based on how you write the polls, the
questions you answer, who you're asking. You go and ask
one hundred people and you find out that only thirty
of them are gonna vote, But you're gonna use all
one hundred in your poll, Well, that doesn't matter. Tell
me the thirty they're going to vote, that matters. So
it's tough to get a gauge on this. Plus the

(01:02:24):
media and certain polling, it obviously leads to left bias
in a lot of way. And because of that, I
like to watch Mark Caliprin. He gets it a lot
more than most. He's ahead of things a lot more
of than most. He's on the ground and talking to
people that love there's always one or two of those
people that everybody loves to give information to, both on

(01:02:48):
the left and the right. And he says this whole
thing that you know, it's that close. In some of
these states, it's not. And Trump's way further ahead than
people realize. It's just as plausible.

Speaker 8 (01:03:00):
And we've seen other data that Donald Trump could win
Georgia and Donald Trump could win Nevada as well. That
would get him to two sixty eight. So what happens
then you're looking at Pennsylvania. Right Let's assume Harris ekes
it out. It's a tie right now. If Trump wanted,
he'd be president the United States if Harris wanted under
this scenario, that gets you to two sixty nine, two
sixty eight, and it all comes down to Nebraska's second

(01:03:21):
congressional district, either a tie or it puts Harris over
the top at two seventy. I'm not saying that's going
to happen. What I'm saying is it's competitive.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
And we talked about that the other day. They're no
longer talking about states, they're talking about counties and cities
in Nebraska. Maybe the one that pushes somebody over. That's
how close it's going to be. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 24 (01:05:09):
Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 7 (01:05:23):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Imagine this don't feel good. You're on vacation and you
go to the hospital and say you're gonna have to
have a surgery. You got some issues, and you're like, ah,
I should go see my doctor back home because we're
not too far away. They're like, no, you may die,

(01:05:47):
and then they removed the wrong thing and you die. Anyways,
what yeah, why do you hear this?

Speaker 25 (01:05:53):
Beverly Bryant and her husband Bill traveled from Muscle Shoals, Alabama,
to enjoy a vacation that they're condo and destined. While
they were there, her husband began feeling pain on his
left side.

Speaker 26 (01:06:04):
So we went to Sacred Heart on the Emeral Coast
and he was admitted and became a patient of doctor Sheknovsky's.

Speaker 25 (01:06:11):
After running tests, she says, doctors identified assists that had
ruptured and bled around his spleen. She says she wanted
to bring her husband back to North Alabama to see
his own doctors.

Speaker 26 (01:06:21):
I tried to convince doctor Sheknovsky to let me take
him home or arranged for him to be transported. But
doctor sheknosk she said that Bill would bleed to death
if he was moved.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Okay, would bleed to death if he was moved. So
I mean, you're on vacation. It's not the way you
want vacation to go. Continue.

Speaker 25 (01:06:38):
On Wednesday, August twenty first, Bill underwent surgery to remove
his spleen. By that evening, Bill was dead.

Speaker 26 (01:06:45):
They took him from us while he was completely helpless
on an operating room table. They removed his liver instead
of his spleen, So of course he bled to death
on the operating room table. Everyone knows you can't live
without your liver. About the same thing as if they
had pulled out your heart. His heart.

Speaker 25 (01:07:03):
According to a report from Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast,
doctor Thomas Chechnovski is identified as the primary surgeon attorney
Joe Zarzar, who was hired by the family, gave us
what is called the operative documentation from the hospital. It
details the operation and what led up to it. The
document reveals Brian was admitted to the hospital on August eighteenth.

(01:07:23):
It indicates several tests were done, including an MRI and
a CT scan.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
I think that doctor should add some tests so the
spleen and the liver don't look anything alike. And the spleen,
quite comparatively to liver, is a big thing. And your
liver will grow back, by the way, not the whole thing,
but if you take portions of your liver, it will
grow back. It's kind of an odd thing. The spleen though,
like the guys like I nailed it. No you didn't.
That's the wrong thing. Who are you?

Speaker 17 (01:07:51):
My client was went to Sacred Heart Emerald Coast with
pain discomfort and he was treated and doctor Shaknovsky recommended
that he go through a splenectomy, which is a removal
of the spleen.

Speaker 25 (01:08:08):
When Brian went into surgery, Zarzar says that's when something
went wrong. The report says Brian lost a lot of
blood during the procedure and his blood pressure dropped abruptly
setting him into cardiac arrest. Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
According to the document. Tsarsar also provided the surgical pathology
report from the hospital that showed the organ labeled spleen

(01:08:30):
was something else.

Speaker 17 (01:08:31):
Doctor Shaknovsky was intending to take the spleen out when
the splin was sent.

Speaker 6 (01:08:36):
To pathology at the hospital.

Speaker 17 (01:08:38):
The pathologists at the hospital after the procedure is over said,
this is not a splain.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
This is a liver. Like you know, this is not
a spleen, right, you're you're aware of that. Just I
want you to be aware of this. There's the difference
size the whole nine yard. You've you've missed by that much,
not even close. I bet you. They didn't even have

(01:09:02):
to run tests, like we got to get it under
a microscope and we got to take a buy out. No,
they probably just looked at it and go, what the
hell is this guy doing.

Speaker 25 (01:09:09):
Zarthar pointed to the operative document, saying that's not what
the doctor reported.

Speaker 17 (01:09:14):
The doctor reported as if it was a spleen complication, uh,
and that the patient had actually died from a spleen
operation that went bad, right.

Speaker 26 (01:09:23):
I know, I'm not the only wife that has lost
her husband suddenly. But the loss of my bill was
exceptionally unnecessary and brutal.

Speaker 17 (01:09:32):
She wants I would too write. She wants the criminal
case to proceed. She wants a culpable negligence case and
the criminal side, and she wants everybody, whether it's one
doctor or doctors and nurses or multiple doctors and a hospital,
she wants everybody to be held responsible so that they
don't let this happen again. Your risk management team shouldn't

(01:09:54):
be more robust than your credentialing team at a hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
No, And they'll tell you if you go in to
have a surgery, let's say you're going to operate on
your left leg or you're right, they'll tell you right
on your leg, not this leg. Something that's said because
doctors come out. I mean, you know, so it was
because how many times we hear it every year. Doctor

(01:10:18):
removed the wrong leg, doctor moved the wrong arm. And
if you want to know, go look at how many
mistakes are made during surgery. Go look at how many
people go back weeks later with massive pains found out,
Oh we left something in there, which you mean you
left the I thought you took out the appendix out.
It wasn't the appendix. We left some of the surgical equipment.

(01:10:41):
It is crazy, poor dude, you removed the wrong thing.

Speaker 25 (01:10:47):
Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast did not answer our questions
about the incident or about doctor Schechnosky's relationship with the
hospital following the incident, releasing only this statement. Our thoughts
in prayers are with the family, Sacred Heart and World
Coast leadership as investigating this matter. The Walton County Sheriff's
Office is also investigating Brian's death. In a statement, it
says it is reviewing the facts to determine if anything

(01:11:09):
criminal took place. The agency also asking for the public's patients,
as it says these cases are quote extremely complex and
take time to investigate. Brian says her husband leaves behind
three children and eight grandchildren. She described him as honest,
kind and dependable, saying he deserves justice.

Speaker 26 (01:11:28):
Our family and community is devastated about what's happened, and
we feel that it is our duty to spread awareness
and more than others.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Yeah, I would assume that's something everybody should do in
the hospital should be doing the same thing. And I
like how we don't know the relationship with this doctor.
Well he does work here, right, yeah, but he's just
a general practitioner. He has no business doing surgery. What
do you think this is going to cost them? You
remove the wrong organ and then you sent it to

(01:12:00):
was it pathology or whatever? Have to take a look
and they're like, this isn't even this You're not even close.
What is this? Oh my god? Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. To your Twitter,
your Instagram and everything else right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up third hour, a lot more on

(01:12:23):
the shooting in Georgia. What did people know about this kid?
And when did they know it? Which is becoming again
part of the politics of this, which, unfortunately, that's all
that matters after something like this. The dust doesn't settle
anymore before people start making it political, and that's frustrating
to a lot of people. We're going to talk about that.

(01:12:44):
We've got some other stuff, including do the Republicans quietly
want Trump to lose? It's an interesting article the other
day in Politico. I'm going to talk about that. A
lot of other things reach out to us across all
of our social media at Chad Benson Show, Facebook, insta ax.
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life,

(01:13:33):

Speaker 10 (01:13:34):
In a case brought by special counsel David Wise Hunter,
Biden faces nine tax related counts after he was convicted
on gun charges in Delaware in June. He's accused here
of spending millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle without
paying one point four million dollars in taxes while he
was in the throes of a cocaine addiction. Biden is
pleaded not guilty, saying he did pay all of the

(01:13:56):
taxes after he became sober in twenty nineteen. Reselection will
begin today with a pool of one hundred potential jurors.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Whoa remember that how big this was gonna be? And
then Biden dropped out and everybody is like, Eh, we
don't care anymore. Uh, he paid back the taxes he owed.
The question isn't the taxes, The question is how did
you make your money? And really it's not even about

(01:14:24):
a hundred Let's be honest. This was all about Joe
Biden and Joe's not in the race anymore, so nobody cares.
There's some people that will pay attention to this, and
they'll they'll, you know, and especially if they really connect
all the dots to Joe and say, look at this,
look at all this crap, because it's a way of
pointing back to the lies that were told in the

(01:14:46):
media about Joe Biden not being involved. But for the
most part, it's nobody's paying attention to it. And it
shows you how fast saying can change. I mean, if
Joe Biden was still running, this would be it. Do

(01:15:07):
you think he's gonna get convicted either way? He's not
going to jail, and I'll tell you why in a second.
But the pool of jury's it's a win for him.

Speaker 10 (01:15:16):
Judge Mark Scarzy has not allowed the case to stall
at all. He has forced lawyers to keep moving forward,
leading to the trial beginning today. He was appointed by
former President Trump. He was confirmed by the Senate in
twenty twenty. As for the jury pool, potential jurors are
being pulled in from six southern California counties that overwhelmingly
supported Joe Biden over Trump in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Yeah, so he's got a good jury pool to pick from.
And this isn't about Hunter. This was always about Joe
and connecting Hunter and Joe together in the business dealings.
And with Joe not running, he's no longer part of
the for the most part. Oh, he's going to be involved,

(01:16:04):
and because of the fact that they're going to dredge
up a lot of stuff, so I'm sure it's gonna
bump him out all of that stuff. But as far
as him being a part of the political sphere in
the world, he's not. He's on the sidelines. He's done.
So there's that. I talked to a couple of Republicans
the other day and it's like, I don't even care
anymore Republicans who pushed for this, Republicans of the power,

(01:16:26):
who say, yeah, it's it's it's there's nothing here now,
because it wasn't about convicting Hunter. It was about tying
stuff to Joe. Joe's not involved in this rate he's
not running for reelection, so for the most part, this
will be out of sight, out of mind. And when
I said he's not going to jail, he's not gonna

(01:16:46):
go to jail. He isn't. Because two things are gonna happen.
And I'm gonna give you both scenarios here. I want
you guys to pay attention. If Trump wins, Trump's gonna
pardon because it'll a be the right thing to do,
and B it'll piss the Democrats off. If Kamala wins,

(01:17:11):
she's going to pardon Hunter and she's going to pardon
Trump and everything will go away. And that will be
that because why because it'll please the Democrats and it'll
piss off Trump. Modern Politics three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That

(01:17:32):
is your Twitter and all of the other things that
are out there. You X, your Insta, We have my Space.
I don't even know if there's Does my Space still exist?
I have no idea if it exists or not. It
might it might not. Yesterday, absolute horror. What took place
was awful in Georgia. It was a crime. It was vile,

(01:17:55):
It was evil. It was not a tragedy. I continue
to say this. The Titanic was a tragedy. This was
a crime perpetrated by an individual who was full of hate,
potentially had mental illness, and who was on the FBI's radar.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
The FBI and the Jackson County Sheriff's Office released a

(01:18:30):
contained photographs of guns, and that within twenty four hours,
the FBI determined the online post originated in Georgia, and

(01:18:53):

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Well, if this is that same kid, did he get
him from pops, did he get the unsupervised access? Did
he get him somewhere else? There will be a lot
in the next twenty four to forty eight hours that'll
come out from this, There's no doubt about that. The

(01:19:27):
reality is he gave Judging by what we've read, heard
and have learned so far, there was a lot of
red flags. He had drawn a map, laid breadcrumbs leading
to where this was, and he still got an opportunity

(01:19:47):
to kill a bunch of people. Luckily, and I say
that in a horrible way, but the realities luckily he
was only four and not twenty, not thirty. Why is that?
Because a good guy with a gu met the bad
guy with a gun.

Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
Obviously, the shooter was armed, and our school resource officer
engaged him, and the shooter quickly realized that if he
did not give up.

Speaker 26 (01:20:14):
That it would end.

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
With an ois an officer involved shooting. He gave up,
got on the ground, and the deputy took him into custody.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
So just being engaged he gave up. Normally, that is
not them of people like this, which is interesting because
that's what makes me think, you know, how much more
was mental illness a part of this? Because people who

(01:20:46):
hate the world, they want to take the world out
and go out with the world. He gave up immediately.
He didn't even return fire. He just was like, Okay,
it's over, which doesn't happen very often. And I'm sure
we're gonna find out, you know, they're gonna was he bullied?

(01:21:06):
Was he All of those those things will come out
down the road. But there was something here that was
leading to somebody who probably not only should have been
somewhat monitored more, and we don't know if he was
in therapy or any of that stuff, but also somebody who,

(01:21:26):
by the sounds of it, shouldn't probably have been in
the school that he was in. Yet there he was.

Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
I don't know him. I've rarely spoke to him.

Speaker 5 (01:21:36):
He doesn't really speak when he is there in school,
and he's not skipping, he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Talk, So I don't really know him, doesn't know him,
doesn't talk. He was in class, he left class, came back,
knocked on the door, they wouldn't let him in, and
then I guess that's when the shooting and everything started.

(01:22:00):
And then by the time the last bullet fired and
he gave himself up, the politics started.

Speaker 13 (01:22:04):
It's senseless, it is We've got to stop it, and.

Speaker 14 (01:22:08):
We have to end this epidemic of gun violence in
our country once and for all.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
You know, it doesn't have to be this way.

Speaker 6 (01:22:16):
It doesn't have to be this way.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Uh no, it doesn't. And it's violence. Guns are the
tool or mind people of that. It's weird. Somebody drives drunk.
We don't blame alcohol or the car. We blame the person.
Somebody perpetrates a horrible, horrific, evil act like this, it's

(01:22:42):
the gun's fault because we're never talking about we've got
to figure out a way to reach these people earlier.
We've got to figure out a way to find out
who these people are, identify them earlier, get them the
therapy they need so they can leave productive life that
do not harm people, or make sure they're never in
a position to do that. Instead's we should probably take
guns away from people. And it becomes politics, And I

(01:23:05):
tweeted out earlier, the minute politics gets involved in an issue,
it's no longer about trying to solve the issue and
instead becomes a way for people who are arguing the
issue to elevate who they are more than anything else.

(01:23:25):
And that is frustrating. As the kids would say, af well,
that's a cursed language. Hey, we're gonna have a debate.

Speaker 19 (01:23:33):
ABC News clarifying that the candidate's microphones will be muted
when it's not their term to speak, they won't be
allowed to bring any notes with them, and they won't
be allowed to question each other during the debate.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Oh so everybody's like Trump got what he wanted. Trump
didn't get anything. Trump got what was greed upon. She
wanted there to be questioning, She wanted there to be
all of the other stuff. She wanted the crowd, She
wanted all of the things because she recognizes that would

(01:24:05):
benefit her. ABC said, now this is what we a
greet upon. This is how it's gonna happen. So this
is what's gonna go down, and she's got no choice. Then, yeah,
I said, a win for Trump. It's weird do we
say that. Yeah, Mike's not gonna be on. That's a win.
But we're gonna get to Trump in a little bit
and talk about an article that came out the other
day about do Republicans quietly want him not just to lose,

(01:24:30):
but to get blown out across the board. Plus, we're
gonna talk more interesting politics. You want to see what
happens when true virtue signaling meets actual potential consequences. We'll
discuss what happened the other day when it came to
reparations in California. Plus the NFL kicks off tonight. We'll
talk a bit about that as well. Three two, three, five,

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Now it's time to find out what's trending? What's trending?

Speaker 27 (01:26:36):
James Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, serene.

Speaker 28 (01:26:52):
Um what truping?

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Find out's trending? Go on the old interwebs. I think
we can guess what's number one start over in Google today?
The number one trending thing, Yes, the shooting yesterday in Georgia,
five million searches Appalachi High School Powerlifting Paralympics. Yes, I've

(01:27:21):
watched some of the Paralympics. Here's some interesting things, do
you know? So I watched the sprinting and the people
who are side and paired, not all of them are
fully blind, but the ones who are side impaired, everybody
has a runner with them. They get medals as well,
which I didn't know. So, so you're there and you're

(01:27:43):
running and U it's very interesting. We might get into
a little bit later, just the uniqueness on how some
of that works. Minecraft The movie trailer dropped yesterday, very interesting.
Temple talk a little bit about that. Temple is a
I don't want to say he's a wing influencer. That's
what people are gonna say. He's liberal in some ways.

(01:28:03):
Other ways he's he's right wing ish. But he and
several others, including Dave Rubin were duped by the Russians
and RT and we talked. We touched on a little
bit earlier. They gave him up to ten million dollars
for their company, Tenet Media, and to basically push propaganda

(01:28:28):
in certain ways, and they were duped. It was not
them that was pushing out this stuff. The Russians were
helping them ten million dollars to get you do a
lot of things. Liz Cheney says she's going to vote
for Kamala Harris chiefs ravens, Oh, that's right. Football back
tonight over to Twitter Russia. We were just talking about that,

(01:28:48):
Minecraft Churchill. We might touch on that a little bit.
This chaos and wackiness of Tucker Carlson three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Show is
your Twitter tweet at US text the show right here
on the Chedminton Shure. Alexa talked about that yesterday. Georgia

(01:29:13):
putin and finally over to Yahoo, Harris small business tax plan,
Georgia shooting, Pope Francis is in Indonesia, US open sees,
fire talks, Paralympics, all trending in the magical world of yahooooooooo.
And it only took yesterday ten minutes and I posted
that on the Twitter for it to become political, the shooting,

(01:29:36):
and we've talked about it throughout the day. A vast
majority of Americans are fined with certain regulations, right, I
think we all agree with that. The reality is though
it is hard for US, as a very divided country
in a lot of ways, to cut through the politics

(01:29:59):
for the exhaust majority to be able to have a
real conversation and get things done. And it is very frustrated.
It absolutely is. Somebody just texted me a little while ago, said,
you know, you can't sell your car in a Walmart
parking lot without trading papers and this, that and the other.
And you can go and buy a gun off somebody

(01:30:20):
you know, off the street and you know, or a neighbor,
and in some states you can, There's no doubt. But
one of those, you know, for us when it comes
to guns, is a right. The other is a privilege
to drive a car. We forget that we have rights

(01:30:40):
which we protect. One of the reasons we're armed is
we're able to protect those rights. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Here's your Twitter tweet at US text the program yesterday
show grabbed the podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 7 (01:31:23):

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
I love listening to Mark Halprin. Sometimes I'll check out
his two way Zoom call. He does in the morning,
sometimes in the afternoons at evenings as well, and he
has the best political pundits on. He has people from
all sides of the aisle, people who work for Trump, Obama,
people who work for I mean, you name it. I mean,
this guy is tied in ways that many people aren't.

(01:31:45):
And he's one of those people with Mark Alprin that
everybody goes to and will feed him information because they
know it's in the right hands. And he was on
his call the other day, and anybody. The beauty of
it is anybody can go on his zoom call and
you can raise your hand and ask questions of all

(01:32:06):
these people, which is phenomenal, which I appreciate. Talking about
the polls and where Trump has an advantage on.

Speaker 29 (01:32:16):
The economy, take a look at that number. Who do
you trust more and handle the nation's economy? Trump massive
advantage over Harris fifty one thirty nine. Next, who do
you trust on immigration? The Trump massive lead fifty five
thirty seven. And then finally who do you trust on
foreign affairs? Trump much more narrowly lead. There was another
question about keeping the world safe that was less close,

(01:32:38):
but anyway, the first two are obviously the two of
the more important issues. Again, Trump massive lead and yet
tied in the horse race.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
Yeah, tied in the horse race. Why is that? Because
he's a many He's a jerk, he's awful, liar, is
a Nazi, settled down, he's all the things. But is
he wrong? You know, there's an article in Politico about

(01:33:11):
now a lot of people in the Republican Party who
are establishment, the Mitch McConnell's of the world, the people
like that, who the Liz Cheneyese, the Mitt Romney's all.
They want him gone because he has taken the party away.

(01:33:32):
And it is very interesting because it is Trump's party.
Now there is a question that needs to be asked.
I call it the at right after Trump? What happens
after Trump? Because win or lose, this is it for him.
This is it for him. Who's going to pass the

(01:33:53):
mantle to for some people out there? And this article
points out Trump needs to not only lose, he needs
to lose big, and there's a good chance to wipe
the slate clean, have them lose everything so they can
then start fresh and anew and try to wash off

(01:34:14):
the Trump like feel and smell he makes. You know,
I tell everybody he's not a politician, and I've said
that for a very long time. He makes Republicans as
nervous as Democrats. And he does frustrate me because I

(01:34:34):
think a lot of the good ideas are ruined. And
you can blame the media times for overblowing things. That's true,
but they enjoy fighting with him because he makes them
more relevant than they are. But a lot of the
stuff that he does, he blows himself up and makes
him a bigger part of the story. And that's the frustrating.

(01:34:56):
That's the thing I've always had. I don't fall in
love or hate with any politician. That's too much energy
that I want to vote to individuals that aren't my
family members or friends. And the fact that we do
have a cult of Trump at time is and we
have a cult of hating Trump too. That's a very

(01:35:17):
real thing. But this article is very interesting, and Chris
Kaliza was on NewsNation. He's form, He's got a great
substack and go check that out. But he was also
on with NewsNation talking about the cult of Trump, and
you know in this article itself.

Speaker 15 (01:35:32):
Well, the establishment is a little worried about Donald Trump,
and they'd love to usher him off the stage.

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
Yeah, no kidding. Also, Donald Trump has taken over the
entire party.

Speaker 16 (01:35:41):
And the most important thing you said in that open
lyland was this, the base loves Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
They have zero interest in moving on. And he's right.
There is a certain amount of the base that Trump
really brought to politics in a way that the Republicans
hadn't had. Trump is not a Republican. Oh he runs

(01:36:10):
with an R by his name, but we know the
system you see with Robert Kennedy Jr. That's it's unfortunate
that these corporations and that's the thing, their corporations and
they they don't like Trump because Trump was right in
a lot of ways that how swampy and scummy and

(01:36:34):
collusional and cozy with with you know, corporations and all
the stuff that both parties are. He's not the guy
that I mean remember how he you know, with guns.
You can make an argument that he was horrible in
some cases for the Second Amendment. He the other day

(01:36:55):
tried to say, I mean legalized marijuana. People freaked out
about it. Flip flopped them the abortion thing. Why because
in reality he's not an extremist like that. Everybody makes
him out to be that way. Go look at the
way he governed, very mild. He got in the way
of the two party system, and he took a lot

(01:37:16):
of people with him, and a lot of Republicans don't
like him. A lot of the establishment doesn't like him.
The Liz Chainey's of the world, yes, and a lot
of those, yeah, they don't because he is It's like
that song, I've got friends in low places. He's that
kind of guy, right. You know, he's very uncouth at times.

(01:37:39):
He makes them uncomfortable, and I enjoy the fact that
he makes them uncomfortable. That's one of the big things
that people liked about him is he was willing to
look at both sides of the establishment and telling me
kissed his ass, and then at the same time he
would tell everybody he's got the greatest ass in the world.
And you know, I mean it's I mean, think about
the fact that what they have gone through to try

(01:38:01):
to get this guy, it is pretty damn amazing.

Speaker 30 (01:38:04):
There is this middle ground of Republicans, right, there's Glenn Youngkin,
there's Brian Kemp, Governor of Virginia, Governor of Yep, Georgia.
They have not in the words of Jonathan Martin converted
to the Church of Maga.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
They have not they I think they mouthed.

Speaker 15 (01:38:22):
You know, when you're at church, some people sing full
voice and some people just kind of mouth the words.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
I would say, they're in the mouth the words category.

Speaker 15 (01:38:29):
So it's not as though they are directly opposed to
Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:38:33):
Because we know what happens to those people.

Speaker 15 (01:38:35):
Mitt Romney retiring, Liz Cheney out of politics, lost in
the primary. Adam Kinzinger retired because he was gonna lose
in a primary. Like, we know what happens to the
like loud anti Trump folks what they are, and you're right,
they do exist. Are people who say, yeah, yeah, Donald Trump, yep,
definitely gonna vote for him.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
Yeah. The Glenn Youngkin thing is a perfect thing. He
ran on a lot of what Trump was and at
the same time he kept Trump somewhat at an arm's length.
And the big thing is and this is something that
I continue to tell people who are out there on

(01:39:12):
the right who are in politics and can't stand Trump,
much like the Democrats. When you insult the Republicans that
support Trump, the Trumpocrats, the Trumplicans, whatever you want to
call them, when you do that, they're going to turn
on you. That's it. And you've seen a lot of that.

(01:39:37):
So do they want them Is there a portion of
establishment that absolutely wants him to leave. Yes, they want
him to get blown out. They tell me they want
him to get blown out. They tell me they want
him to lose. And by the way, they're not very
interested in actually governing. Just let you guys know, so
many of these people they don't care if they win
to lose. As long as they keep their position, they're fine.

(01:39:58):
And in many cases in today's world, being out of
power is the best place to be for the power
because you can do and say all the things you
want with zero repercussions. Oh wow, yeah, speaking of repercussions.
When you virtue signal and then you talk that talk

(01:40:20):
and you waved the proverbial whatever flag you're waving, said
look at us, look at us, we're doing this, and
then push comes to shove, and all of a sudden
you have to do something. You find out that that's
truly all you're doing was signaling. There wasn't there wasn't
action involved. Case in Point Reparations in California, that was

(01:40:41):
gonna be easy, right. They're going to give everybody who
was affected by slavery, everybody who knew a slave, every
I mean, all of the things that were gonna do.
Everybody who was black is getting something. And then it
came time to vote, and they're like, wha wait a minute.

Speaker 28 (01:40:58):
Emotions still high after this scene at the state capitol
over the weekend.

Speaker 31 (01:41:02):
Is black people stopping they own people from giving the reparations.

Speaker 28 (01:41:07):
Reparation supporters frustrated by the Legislative Black Caucus's last minute
decision to block votes in the Assembly on proposals that
would establish a state agency and state fund for reparations.
The Black Caucus divided, with some saying they were afraid
of the governor's veto, while the caucus leader, Assembly member
Laurie Wilson, claimed the bills did not have the votes.

Speaker 13 (01:41:28):
I think what happened on Saturday was unconscionable.

Speaker 28 (01:41:31):
Camilla Moore led California's Reparations task Force that helped come
up with these recommendations. She did not expect this.

Speaker 6 (01:41:39):
What we saw was a complete betrayal.

Speaker 13 (01:41:42):
By the California Legislative Black Caucus against their own constituents.
They chose to prioritize their ego and their own self
interests over the people that they claimed to serve.

Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
What they chose was, yeah, the veto, But they also
chose the fact that a vast majority of Californians think
it's ridiculous, yes, even black Californians. And the cost to
California would be almost a trillion dollars, of which they
don't have. Then you've got to decide who's next. How
about the Japanese there are some still alive that we're

(01:42:18):
in camps who lost? How about that? What about Mexicans,
El Salvadorians, Guatemalans? But where does it end and at
what cost? It sounded great, We're going to give everybody
a million dollars and five hundred thousand dollars a week
for life, and it's like the publisher's clearing house, except
you have no money.

Speaker 28 (01:42:38):
It seemed like Democratic legislative leaders were hands off about this.

Speaker 6 (01:42:42):
Do you think they should have stepped in?

Speaker 13 (01:42:43):
I do think that the Assibly leadership, namely the Sibly
speaker Robert Revas, should have you know, intervened and effect
he sided with the black Hawk.

Speaker 28 (01:42:55):
Is how do you the advocates of supporters, how do
you all move forward here?

Speaker 6 (01:42:59):
What are the next step?

Speaker 13 (01:43:00):
So the next step for us is to keep pushing
to hold the Californy and let us say of Black
Caucus accountable.

Speaker 28 (01:43:09):
We tried to get a response from caucus leader assembly
Member Laurie Wilson at a different reparations related rally that
she was supposed to headline at the state capitol Tuesday,
but she canceled her appearance.

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
Of course she did. Remember this is the Black Caucus
that said, now we're not going to get the vote.
They understand because they're being told from behind, don't do it.
If you do this, we're gonna have to vote against it.
It's gonna look awful for everybody. This isn't and the
Governor's probably gonna veto it, and then you're gonna have

(01:43:41):
chaos because in reality, it was supposed to be a
grand conversation and a virtue signal. It was never supposed
to get to the point where Rubber met the road.

Speaker 28 (01:43:54):
Now, assembly Member Wilson spokes first and told us in
part she canceled her appearance there because she did not
want to detract from the importance of that rally.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
As we worked on.

Speaker 28 (01:44:03):
This story, we also tried to interview California Secretary of
State Shirley Weber, who wrote the law that launched the
Reparations Task Force years ago. She declined our request. We
should note her daughter is Assembly Member Akila Weber. She's
another Black Caucus member who is under scrutiny for Saturday's actions.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
So we'll see. But it sounded great, and in reality,
it was more about the sound, not the reality of
getting something done. Trillion dollars, it's a little spending. Do
you think you're already in debt of what twenty four billion?

(01:44:43):
Now you want to add another eight hundred billion onto that?
What's that look like? There's going to be nobody left

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
Hurd NFL baby is back tonight. Tell your loved ones
you'll see them in mid February kicks off tonight the
NFL season in Arnest, going for a three peat. The

(01:46:42):
Fighting Mahomes and Kelsey's along with Taylor Swift taking on
the always amazing yet at times underachieving Baltimore Ravens kicks
off the game tonight. It's opening weekend the domination of
football itself college as well as the NFL. Tomorrow night,
we got a game in but I'll see what. By
the way, the players for the Eagles in particular are

(01:47:04):
not thrilled by going to Brazil because of crime.

Speaker 23 (01:47:08):
One.

Speaker 31 (01:47:09):
I am looking forward to it. I can't wait, But man,
I do not want to go to Brazil. And you
want to know why. I'm going to tell you why.
They already told us not to lead a hotel. They
told us we can't do too much going on because
it's the crowd.

Speaker 11 (01:47:20):
Rate is crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:47:21):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 31 (01:47:22):
I'm like, NFL, why don't y'all want to send us
somewhere with the crowright this high and.

Speaker 6 (01:47:28):
Like we got the country.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Yeah, they're not happy about it, and there's a reason
for that, because crime is ridiculous. They're gonna have to
have several hundred several hundred police people as well as
military protecting their buses. Both sets of buses about three
hundred each to make sure they get to and from
the place safe. And part of growing the game is

(01:47:53):
allowing the players to go to places that are foreign
and get out and interact and let people. I'm and
watch and do that stuff, and I feel like I
like the enthusiasm. Maybe Brazil wasn't it. They're playing in
South follow tomorrow night, the Packers and the Eggles, which
brings us to this and.

Speaker 9 (01:48:11):
Then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
We'll take stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:48:17):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict they're gonna do something incredibly stupid.

Speaker 19 (01:48:24):
Now you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid little last time.

Speaker 3 (01:48:30):
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupiditing.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Now it's time fall.

Speaker 6 (01:48:39):
Stupid information.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
Well, tomorrow night they're playing a Brazil, and they play
all over the world now at least a couple times
a year. The NFL's first regular season game played outside
the United States took place on October second, two thousand
and five, three two three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chadminton Show, Alid Fun Show Today,
as always, love hearing from each and every one of you. Big, big,

(01:49:06):
big few days coming up, arguably the most important day.
What's gonna happen on Tuesday, which will be the debate.
Talk a lot about that in the coming few days.
A lot of other stuff, but that debate I think
will be the most influential thing that Trump can do

(01:49:27):
on his own when it comes to facing her. And
we'll find out if vibes and momentum can get you
over the hump. You guys, have a blessed rest of
your day. We will do it again tomorrow. Is all
