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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Let's be real. It was awesome last night, right. What
are you talking about, Chad? Is it the Trump thing? No? No,
what is that the other politics? Last play NFL biggest
television show in America. Oh my goodness me, it was amazing. Rush,
poor Lamar trying to make the mathic happen.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
So it's my way to be down. Touchdown, I say, claim.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
What an amazing play. I mean, no time left on
the clock. Lamar back there a thinner Lamar who was
already a stick. Now you can't even see it. He's like,
he's like, you know, flat Stanley. I mean you can't
even see him. Boom finds Isaiah likely back of the
end zone. Incredible. Unfortunately we have like quadruple HD nine

(01:12):
thousand K and uh to the replay, they go, they're
enough to overturn. Oh that's on. That's on the line,
isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I think Terry McCauley's gonna have to make this call.
But it looks like that toes on the line, Terry,
I agree completely.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh, Mike Terrico, Ah, no overtime. What a game twenty
seven twenty It was awesome. I'm glad football's back and
we had all the stuff talk about, right, we get
the the the craziness of the election, which we're going
to talk about today because Alan Lickman, the guy who

(01:52):
is the noster Damis of elections, came out yesterday with
his pick and if you know past performance, there's anything
to go on. He's nine out of ten and he
only missed on one. We'll talk about that, but it
was just great to watch because we need that. And
we're gonna have your NFL picks coming up at the
end of this hour, which I'm pumped with. I do

(02:13):
it every single year. I'm gonna break it down for you.
And of course tonight there's a game because they decided, hey,
you know what, we could own everything. Well on Thursday,
well on Friday they're in Salpallow but I see then
of course you got college tomorrow, Sunday all day, Sunday night,
and then Monday night to wrap up this big weekend
of the NFL. And I talk about it because it

(02:33):
is the biggest television show in America. That's why speaking
of television shows, the election is going. As you guys
all know, the sprint is earned and Alan Lickman is
the guy that called the noster damis of election. The
only election he's missed out of the last ten in
his formula has been Bush vgor That's it. Hanging chats

(02:56):
got him. Outside of that, he's been spot on. Made
his pick yesterday. Are you nervous about the call you're
about to make?

Speaker 5 (03:07):
I've been doing this for forty years and are you nervous?

Speaker 6 (03:12):
You bet?

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I am nervous, particularly in this crazy topsy turvy political year.
But I stick with my predictions no matter what. The
keys are the north Star, the unchanging system.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
The unchanging system. So he's got thirteen keys. We'll go
over those. And a lot of people think it really
feel still a little bit early. Can you wait until
the debate and then make the prediction.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
I did not want to wait to the debate because
my big message is it's governing, not campaigning that counts,
and the keys gauge the strength and performance of the
White House Party right independent of the events of the campaign,
and I wanted to prove that once again in my prediction.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
He's a nerd, no doubt. Guy's brilliant though, so he's
a distinguished professor because the ones who are undistinguished, they're
not fun. From the American University in Washington, d C.
He's got a PhD specializing in modern American history and
quantitative methods at Harvard and he put this together with
another I think he was an computer engineer, like super Nerd,

(04:21):
like super Nerdy. I mean, we're talking. They broke this down,
they went back, they reviewed history. This guy has been
doing this for quite a long time. So there are
thirteen keys. We're gonna break those down for you, and
then we're gonna get to his peck. The White House
Party gained House seats during the midterm elections. The sitting

(04:42):
president is running for reelection, which he kind of counts
because it's common. The White House Party is avoiding a
primary contest it did. There is a third party challenger. No,
not anymore. Short term economy is strong. Long term economy
economic growth has been good for at least two terms.
The White House Party has made major changes to national policy.

(05:06):
There is a sustained social unrests during the term. These
are his thirteen keys. The White House is untainted by scandal.
The incumbent party is charismatic. Challenger is uncharismatic. The incumbent
is charismatic. The White House Party has a major failure

(05:28):
in foreign policy, and the White House Party has foreign
poly policy success. So those are his thirteen keys. You
guys ready see what you picked?

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I remember this guy's like the Noster Damas guy. This
is the guy they talk about.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Who is it and why it's going to be a
pathbreaking victory the first woman president, Kamala Harris. And here's why.
Under my thirteen key system, which as you said, has
been right for forty years, it takes six of the
thirteen keys to turn against the White House Party to
predict their defeat. At a maximum of the White House

(06:09):
Party this time loses five keys, one key short of
the six needed to predict their defeat. And that's why,
based on a system that's worked for forty years and
has nothing to do with my own political preferences. After all,
I picked Trump, I predicted Trump in twenty sixteen. I'm
now predicting a path breaking Harris victory.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
No, No, is it possible? Yeah? His big thing is
it's about governance, not campaigning. Although I think we've changed
a little bit. And again he has been wrong once
he got it wrong with the hanging chads in two thousand.
But governance is the way he looks at it, and

(06:57):
he's saying that she's going to get it done, that
she is going to be the winner. Now, let's look
in and see how good your justification is for the keys.
Why do you think it's only five? Put them up
there again, I got to see which one they are.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
So these are the keys in favor.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, obviously no contest. They united behind Harris, the third
party kisled away big changes in policy from Trump to Biden.
Social unrest has raided. They've tried for four years to
pin a scandal on Biden have failed. What goes on
with his son or his family doesn't count on my system.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
And of course we know yesterday Hunter took one for
the team when it came to Pops, took one for
the team. So that's what he thinks for me. Again,
he even said he's nervous because this is something he's
never seen before. And when I look at his thirteen keys,
I'll be honest with you. The charismatic thing is one

(07:59):
of the things he said. You know, Trump, he's charismatic
to his people, but is he charismatic across the board
compared to her absolutely, for just talking about who's more charismatic.
I think he wins. They did better in the midterms,
let's be real, than a lot of people thought. They
thought it was going to be a red wave, and

(08:20):
it was a trickle kind of running for reelection, but
not really. There was no primary. They've they've circled around
the wagons. There's a third party challenger. There was, but
not really. And even the data now is saying that
not everybody likes. It's barely split when it comes to
RFK Junior's people heading over to Trump. Short term economy

(08:42):
is strong, It's stronger than the rest of the world.
But is it great? No, No, I don't think it is.
He thinks it is. Long term economic growth has been
good again. I think we can debate those things. Major

(09:02):
changes to national policy, he said, yeah, he absolutely has.
I mean, obviously they got the Infrastructure Bill, the Chips Act,
which is a great act, by the way, super win
for Biden, a hell of a win for America and
I think the world. So you know, and then you
can look at the Inflation Reduction Act that really is

(09:23):
kind of this weird green New Deal thing that I
don't think did what a lot of people thought it
was going to at least that they were pitched. Social unrest,
that's a different thing. He said, No, there's not really
social unrest. Well, school's back, and I think we're going
to find that untainted by scandal. Hunter walked away. Is
she charismatic? No, no, she's not, and she feels phony.

(09:51):
Trump is who he is, but you can't say he's
not charismatic. And the failure to foreign policy has been
an absolute. Yeah, there's been a failure. So that's what
he says. We'll find out come November fifth. But it
was interesting, no doubt about that. Three two, three, five,

(10:11):

Sure you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's that time of the week where we listen back
to some of the chaos, craziness and sad stuff that
took place this week. My goodness me, labor day, short week.
A lot of stuff happened, though, I'm got to Chase man.
The basis, all these people are left with astronomical negative
balances in their Chase accounts. Ignorance is not an excuse

(12:20):
for breaking the law.

Speaker 8 (12:21):
Since when does the vice president have what sounds like
a Southern accent.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
You beat us by a whisker.

Speaker 9 (12:30):

Speaker 7 (13:29):
Target enslaved my ancestors a year ago.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Are you Target and hip hop?

Speaker 12 (13:34):
We have this thing.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
You step up or you step off.

Speaker 10 (13:37):
You need to know your place and as could have
used the billions of dollars the British and European and
American taxpayers gave them to build up Gaza.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
It is what it is money.

Speaker 10 (13:47):
I'll be hurting my head in a spice, Dundy, I
be wondering, But ever so weekein a thirty hours slowly
tunity Friday.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I'll I'm.

Speaker 13 (14:08):
The election is about personal favorability or trust of the candidates.

Speaker 14 (14:11):
It now looks like Harris has the edge, but if
it's about the most salient issues for voters, it remains
advantage Trump.

Speaker 15 (14:17):
If you would have told me a month ago that
I would be voting for Donald Trump in his next election,
I would have told you the kindly.

Speaker 16 (14:24):
His coach Hey and up blocking his door and locking
the door perse to permit the shooter for coming in
his classroom.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
And that's when I saw, like my math teacher, he
was all covered. I saw blood everywhere.

Speaker 17 (14:36):
School resorce officer engaged him, and the shooter quickly realized
that if he did not give up, that it would
end with an ois involve shooting.

Speaker 16 (14:45):
That's why I tell my kid, I said, I always
pray before you go to school.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah. What a week. And of course yesterday the arrest
of the father of the shooter. I'm not going to
say alleged. If he wants assume me, he can. I
think we know. But the story of his life is horrific.
It doesn't excuse what he did, but you could see

(15:11):
how it shaped his life, and so many people failed him.
The anger and hate, and it goes back to things
that we've talked about in the past. You've get choices.
Some people take a choice and go one way, some

(15:33):
people take a choice go another way. This kid was
so full of hate and anger, and people like his father,
who's been charged the fuel to the fire that they
continue to add to it and then hand him a gun.
We're going to talk about that and the failure of

(15:54):
not just the parents, and by the way, his mother
is a doozy, got grandparents, got his aunt, and you've
got child services, by the way, who failed miserably over
and over again with this kid. It is awful. Doesn't

(16:17):
excuse his actions, but much like the bread crumbs that
he put out there saying what he was going to do,
there were bread crumbs along the way leading him down
a path that didn't help him. That's for damn sure.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three At Chad Benson's show, it's your Twitter, your Instagram,

(16:38):
all of the other things. Man, there's still so much
stuff to get to, including Lincoln Park's got a new singer,
very interesting who they went with. We're going to talk
about that. We got your NFL picks coming up at
the end of this hour. I'm excited watch that first
game last night. We talked about it. Number one television

(16:58):
show in America by far, not even close, and last
night it was awesome, it was incredible. We got a
game tonight as well. We'll talk about that previews, and
I'm gonna give you my Super Bowl pick because that's
what I do kids. I do that for you. So

(17:18):
bet the house three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other stuff. This is the Chad Benson Show,
the Chad Benson.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
Show, independent thoughts, independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
An absolute failure in every sense of the word. An
evil act perpetrated by a fourteen year old. But before
any of that stuff happened on Tuesday, he was failed
a gazillion times. If you want to look at what
causes serial killer, psychopath any of the things, this kid

(18:25):
in Georgia is the perfect, i'm gonna say it, specimen
to look at. And it is a sad situation. Across
the board. You have four people lost their life, several
others injured, mental scars that are going to be there
for the rest of their lives. They arrested his dad yesterday,
SAME's Colin Gray. His mother's already in jail because she's

(18:47):
a big winner. This kid had a path that you
sit there and you go well. At best, his life
was going to be awful for the most part. And
the thing is people overcome these things they do and
you can see that when they're younger, the determination to
overcome things. But at the same time, you can see
when they're younger that they're not going to overcome anything.

(19:09):
They're going to go down a different path. And this
unless you got in for intervention, and there wasn't any
of that. So he kills four. And by the way,
that was a first day of school that he had
been to at his new school. He went one day
apparently and then left. Then that was his first day
in that school. But yesterday they arrested Pops because he's

(19:31):
an efing loser who is just as guilty as he
is in this situation.

Speaker 17 (19:37):
The GBI has arrested Colin Gray, age fifty four, in
connection to the shooting here at Appalechi High School. Colin
is Cote Gray's father that was arrested yesterday.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
And he should have been arrested. And it's really interesting
because in Georgia they don't have the same laws like
they have in like Michigan. Remember the Ethan Crumbley case,
And we'll get to that in a second. Let's talk
about his life though. And now you can tell past
that people are going to go down even when they're younger.
Unless you get some intervention. This kid mother an absolute

(20:15):
hot mess, arrested on so many occasions. I think she's
doing time right now. Father abusive loser. He's got two
little siblings as well, Grandpa and aunt and everybody else
is like well, he never really had a chance. Well
not with an attitude like that. Why didn't you help?
Why didn't you step up? Then I look over and

(20:36):
I say, hey, child Services. The neighbor called you several times.
He was locked out of his house overnight with the
other kids. Mom wouldn't let him in. She fed them.
But you can still take a different path. Some people
have a different way of doing things. I grew up
in a horrific situation at times broke af mother busting

(20:58):
her butt so we could bear survive. My dad a
drug addict and died of a drug induced heart attack
when I was sixteen, physically and sexually abused. I decided
to go down a different path. Never touched alcohol in
my life, never touched a drug in my life. The

(21:23):
difference is is as bad as my dad was and
as bad at times that my mother had it, and
she was because she was an alcoholic. They didn't beat
me or abuse me but they loved me, and I
knew that I took the bad things and decided I

(21:44):
wasn't going to allow that to define my life. I wasn't.
This kid had so much hate for the world that
he wanted to take it out on everybody else, and
people saw it coming. This is recording of the cops

(22:06):
talking to Pops in him last year because on discord
there were threats made and they pretty much traced it
back to him. But because of the way discord is,
you can get in and around, but you can't one
hundred percent say it was about it was his. But
this is the recording from last year, twenty twenty. He's
thirteen years old making threats.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
You have weapons in the house.

Speaker 18 (22:30):
Are they accessible for him?

Speaker 5 (22:32):
They are? I mean there's nothing loaded, but they are down.

Speaker 16 (22:36):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (22:37):
We actually we do a.

Speaker 16 (22:38):
Lot of shooting.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
We do a lot of deer hunt, and he shot
his first deer this year.

Speaker 19 (22:42):
You know, So like, I'm pretty much in shop to
be honest with you, Well, I'm a little pissed off
to be even really honest with you.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
If that is what was said, Well that is what
was not only said but done. Now you say you
had guns in and around the house. But the reality
is is he doesn't have a chance to get to him.
He doesn't touch him on supervised. He knows what they're about,
the dangers of them, how to use them correctly. At

(23:11):
Da da da, Then at Christmas you bought him a
damn gun. Continue like, this is some serious stuff.

Speaker 9 (23:18):
Yeah, he knows, trust me, did I hate to I'd
rather do than that, because so we because God forbid
something happening right did in my job, I'd be that
I feel pretty bad about this, and.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
I bet you do. But across the board these things
had been dropped. He perpetrated an act that was evil.
That's on him. He made a decision. That's on him.
He's angry at the world and the way the world
treated him. That's on a lot of the other adults
around him who are supposed to be family members, who

(23:56):
were supposed to be there protecting him and instead abandoned
him and abused him. I'm glad Dad is being charged.
I am, and people are going man. I thought that
whole ethan crumbly thing was bad. This is something wholly different,

(24:17):
you think, I.

Speaker 6 (24:18):
Have to say.

Speaker 14 (24:18):
I did not think we were going to see at
least in any time in the short term, a fact
pattern worse than that. In the case of Ethan Crumbly,
who also shot up a school, that one in Michigan,
there there were questions about the parents not responding to
his calls for help, the parents being called to the

(24:39):
school that morning.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
But this is different.

Speaker 14 (24:43):
This is literally threats that were reported to the FBI
about a possible school shooting.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, the failure on law enforcement is going to be
asked here. How did you miss out? Because it wasn't
like you didn't know, you knew, but you knew knew.
I mean you knew this was a real distinct possibility.

(25:13):
How didn't the school identify? How didn't they say he
can't be in school? It's impossible. So there's gonna be
a lot of questions there. But my questions go back
even further than that. Child services went out there on
several occasions. You locked your kid outside the house, don't

(25:37):
let him in, don't feed him, don't clothe them. Neighbors
said they did have the same clothes on for days.
Mom would be passed out in the car, laying in
the street, car running music blaring. What the hell are
you doing? Child Services just out of curiosity and the
father a piece of work right there. He's as culpable

(26:00):
as anybody else. The action was one hundred percent on
this kid. The reality. Long before this took place, they
were laying the groundwork for somebody who chose a different path.
Didn't want to fight, resilient, say to themselves, I'm not
going to live this way. I'm going to better myself.

(26:21):
Said the anger he took out on the world, and
really his family and everybody else failed him. How did
all though.

Speaker 20 (26:29):
Colin Gray is the most outrageously irresponsible father in America
Dan he is absolutely appalling in his recklessness. Not only
did he give his son this AR fifteen style weapon
for Christmas, but that was seven months after they had
been questioned by the FBI about school shooting threats that

(26:52):
the kid made in the county where they lived before
they moved to the county where he committed the atrocity yesterday.
This father knew that his son had a propensity to
be threatening, that he was unhinged. The house was a
mess in turmoil, So he gives his son a present.

(27:13):
He gives him this killing weapon after the FBI has
interviewed them about him. The son giving threats at his
previous school. It is unbelievable to me.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I think it's unbelievable to a lot of people. One
of the things the first thing I thought of after
learning about all this, I'm surprised you didn't kill Pops. Honestly,
it is a horrible situation. Parenting matters. You're not going

(27:46):
to get it perfect. I know I don't, and I
told you about my life and how horrible it was
at times. But you know what I knew my mother,
my father, my grandmother's I knew they loved me and
they wanted me to learn from their mistakes. And I'm

(28:10):
the person I am because of what I went through,
and I wouldn't change that. But it's not hard to
see how you take two forks and that there's a
fork in the road which way you're going to go.
But once that person's identified, that that's the way they're
going to go unless you get help quick. If it

(28:31):
isn't a mass killing, it's prison, it's drugs, its abuse,
it's death. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

Slash Chad Chadbentson Show, hashtag.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Enough called jump yo joo. That right there is Lincoln
Park's new singer, Chester Bennington, the former lead singer who

(30:50):
took his life in twenty seventeen. You haven't done anything since.
They're getting ready to bark on a new tour. They've
got a new singer. Her name is Emily Armstrong. She's
also going to be the official lead singer. So this
is just a tour thing. They're gonna do a tour,
but she's also gonna be the new lead singer across
the board. That includes that includes their new album that

(31:13):
they're putting together. So very interesting, indeed, because I like
Lincoln Park and they're a hell of a band. And
I think they took time off, quite a bit of time,
and they thought, well, you know, is this what we
should be doing? Should we get back out there? And
that's what they're gonna do with a new lead singer.
And a lot of people were skeptically going with a woman.

(31:36):
But she's she got the jobs for it. She's four
hundred pounds. That's weird, is she? No, she's not, because
that doesn't happen. Oh jeez, Chad, Hey guys, it's Friday.
Last night it began, you know what I'm talking about
the earner of her. So, as we do every single year,

(32:05):
we'll give you a breakdown of the week's games, what
to watch, what not to watch, give you the picks.
Bet your house on it. No, don't, that's silly. You
shouldn't bet that kind of money. Nut jobs. All right,
last night, yesterday I picked the Chiefs. I got that
one right tonight, Packers they're going to beat the Eggles.

(32:28):
Put that in the bank, kids, Oh you think, yes,
I do. They're in South Polo. That's but us. See
then I've got the Saints beating the Panthers. I got
the Giants beating the Vikings, the Bengals beat the Patriots.
This is an interesting one. I went with the Falcons

(32:49):
beating the Steelers. I got the Texans over the Colts,
although I think it's gonna be a good game. Bills
will crush the Cardinals as you do. Bears get by
the Titans, renewed to home Man, and I will say
I watched the hard knocks with the Bears, and not
to give false hope because there's too much of that

(33:10):
for Chicago already. I think they may have found a
guy that can take in places I do in Williams.
So we'll see Dolphins beat the Jaguars. I went with
the Broncos over the Seahawks. Chargers beat the Raiders, Browns
in a win over the Boys, Bucks crushed the Commanders,

(33:33):
Lions get by the Rams, and Monday Night forty nine
Ers and the Jets. I take the forty nine Ers
all do. I do think that Aaron Rodgers will play
a little longer than the two snaps he played last
year or whatever it was before he fell apart. No
people are asking me as you do, because my love
of the game. Who's gonna win it all? It's hard.

(33:59):
I think you're gonna have the Beagles the Beagles, the
Bengals and the Chiefs facing off, and I think you're
gonna have the Rams and the Lions again battling it out.
I just don't see anybody stopping the Chiefs. You got
to beat the King. And I think Bengals are a

(34:25):
hell of a team. I think last night the Ravens
are a hell of a team. But it is hard
not to look at what they've put together over there
and think that they're not going to get a third
super Bowl in a row. And how about this, he
gets three in a row, even at his young age.
Patrick Mahomes, especially for football, it's the greatest fall time.

(34:49):
He's on his way. He gonna he's gonna surpass Brady.
There's no doubt in my mind he's gonna surpass. He's
gonna blow right past Brady in the talk of the
greatest of all time at the Radies going barring some
catastrophe and injury that he can never recover from, it's
hard to see how he's not going to three two, three, five, three, eight,

(35:12):
twenty four, twenty three. At Chad Benton's show, that is
your ex and your Instagram. You got the Facebook as well,
a lot of stuff still to get to several text
messages and tweets and stuff about the shooter's father and
the life that this kid in Georgia went through. Doesn't

(35:34):
excuse anything that he did. The actions on that day
were all on him, but boy was he in a
position that was awfu. We're gonna talk more about that. Trump, Kamala,
their plans economically, what do they mean. It's it's interesting

(35:54):
because you know they all come out and promise something.
How much of that is real? But he's Zach Abraham's
going to join the show in the second hour to
talk about which one's got a better outlook realistically of
pulling some of this stuff off when it comes to
the economy, and a bunch of other things to get
to fall across all of our social media. If you

(36:15):
miss any of the program, as we always say, shame
on you, go ahead and grab that podcast. It is
the Chad Benson Show.

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

(36:54):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 21 (36:55):
I'm just curious about a position for elong Mo that
Trump was proposing, among other things. I've read the article.
I don't see anything about the childcare comments. It's just
it's all very curious. It's like a tree falls in
the forest. I guess no one hears it is Donald
Trump saying something ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous that proves them to

(37:19):
be completely unfit.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
And they, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
That was Mika Brzinski useless as can be. They're upset
because nobody criticizes enough, uh Trump. Inside the media, they're
not criticizing him. Just type in childcare and Trump, and
all you get is them making fun of Trump in

(37:46):
his answer. And the fact that Mika Brazinski and Morning
Joe and all of those people would even say, well,
nobody criticizes him is the most asinine thing on the
planet considering who they are. They live on criticizing Trump.

(38:10):
If it wasn't for Trump, what would they talk about?
So what's this crazy thing? So yesterday he does he
rolls out his economic plan and we're going to talk
a little bit deeper on that in a little bit.
But he rolls out the economic plan, and in his
economic plan, there was a question about childcare. This incoherent question.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
It's what it was.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Incoherent. First of all, somebody's asking him a question and
he's answering it. Somebody's going, hey, I have a question
for you. Here is said question on childcare.

Speaker 22 (38:49):
You talked about how the increase in the price of food, gas,
and rent is hurting families, But the real cousse that's
breaking families backs and preventing women from participating in the
workforce is childcare. Childcare is now more expensive than rent
for working families and is costing the economy more than
one hundred and twenty two billion dollars a year, making

(39:10):
it one of the most urgent economic issues that is
facing our country. In fact, the cost of childcare is
outpacing the cost of inflation, with the majority of American
families of young children spending more than twenty percent of
their income on childcare. One thing that Democrats and Republicans
have in common is that both parties talk a lot
about what they're going to do to address the childcare crisis,

(39:32):
but neither party has delivered meaningful change. If you win
in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make
childcare affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation
will you advance?

Speaker 2 (39:49):
All Right, So there was the It was long, but
I wanted you I want to put it in context
because we never do that. We never do. I wanted
you hear at all. So yesterday a lot of the economics,
it was about terrorists, which I'm not a fan of.
I'm going to tell you that right now. And I
think both economic plans are pie in the sky. But

(40:09):
that's what you do in politics, right you lay something
out your vision. How are you going to get there?
You don't know? So but this was his answer about childcare.

Speaker 23 (40:19):
Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, you know,
I was somebody we had Senator Marco Rubio and my
daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It's a
very important issue. But I think when you talk about
the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because
childcare is childcare, couldn't you know there's something.

Speaker 6 (40:41):
You have to have it in this country?

Speaker 24 (40:43):
You have to have it.

Speaker 23 (40:45):
But when you talk about those numbers compared to the
kind of numbers that I'm talking about, by taxing foreign
nations at levels that they're not used to, but they'll
get used to it very quickly, and it's not going
to stop them from doing business with us, but they'll
have a very substantial tax when they send product into
our country.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Okay, so it starts out, you know, it's Trump. It's
kind of a little bit of oh squirrel, look at that,
and he's got twelve things in his mind. And okay,
but they made it sound like he was drooling, right,
and we're gonna get the Stephanie rule here in a minute.
They made it sound like it was okay, he's The
big thing is tariffs. We're gonna put tariffs on everything.
We're gonna tariff the hell out if everybody wants to

(41:24):
do business in the country, who is undercutting our businesses,
and in doing so, we're going to tax the hell
out him, to the point where if they want to
do business with us, guess what. We're gonna collect so
much damn money. Childcare be nothing to worry about.

Speaker 23 (41:40):
Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that
we're talking about, including childcare, that it's going to take
care we're gonna have. I look forward to having no
deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with
the reductions that I told you about on waste and
fraud and all of the other things that are going
on in our country. Because I have to say, with childcare,

(42:00):
I want to stay with childcare, but those numbers are
small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm
talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by
what the plan is that I that I just told
you about. We're going to be taking in trillions of dollars.
And as much as childcare is talked about as being expensive,

(42:21):
it's relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind
of numbers we'll be taken. And we're going to make
this into an incredible country that can afford to take
care of its people. And then we'll worry about the
rest of the world. Let's help other people, but we're
going to take care of our country first. This is
about America first. It's about make America great again. We

(42:42):
have to do it because right now we're a failing nation.

Speaker 6 (42:45):
So we'll take care of it.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Thank you, very good question.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Thank you. I don't think we're a failing nation, but
that's what you say.

Speaker 13 (42:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
One side's like we're a failing nation. On the other
side like Democracy's dad. Everybody they love scaring the cravity you.
By the way, I'm here to tell you this. I've
said it all along. Kamala Harris wins. Life is what
it is. It's the same good to work every day.
That's what it is. We'll still be here in four
years and there'll be another election, and democracy will still

(43:11):
be here. We won't be a socialist, communist nation. I
mean recognize that the things that they would all like
to do, it's the way that we have our politics.
Thank god, you don't have those extreme swings and wackiness.
Everybody wants to scare you. I'm not here to do that.
I'm here to tell you the truth. If Trump wins,
they'll be an election in four years. He's not going

(43:31):
to hand it over to his children. So everybody to
settle the f down, You nut job Stephanie Rule talking
about the blithering idiot that is Trump.

Speaker 11 (43:41):
If Donald Trump was inarticulate yesterday when he was explaining
the childcare policy, when he had to answer about the deficit,
we can accept that, right.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
What do I do for a living.

Speaker 11 (43:51):
I analyze economic policy and the comments politicians make about
the economy. He didn't utter a single coach he sentence.
Many of the things he said. There weren't even verbs
in his sentences. It was Marco Rubio, my daughter in Vanka.
Childcare is childcare right?

Speaker 2 (44:09):
And the fact that.

Speaker 11 (44:10):
We're not covering that, like, let's be clear, day in
and day out, we're saying, I need to see every
single one of Kamala Harris's policies. I don't want to
see every punctuation, and I want to see it listed in.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Fifteen right five because we don't know anything about any
of it because she won't ask answer any questions. And
it's all about vibes and joy. That's what it's all about.
So yeah, he's out there answering questions, talking about, hey,
we don't pay for the tears, which again I don't
think is a good idea, and that's just me. Do
I think he's gonna get everything he wants? No? Do

(44:41):
I think he can magically turn gas to a dollar?

Speaker 9 (44:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Are there things that he can do that put pressure
on other countries?

Speaker 13 (44:49):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (44:50):
But does it guarantee it? No, it doesn't. Hers are
like it's gonna be great. I'm gonna give everybody all
the money I want. Oh my god, I'm gonna have
so vibe.

Speaker 11 (44:59):
There's an absolute yea double standard in the way these
two individuals.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
Are being covered.

Speaker 11 (45:03):
Remember how Joe Biden performed at the debate. It was
a disastrous. Everybody here at the table knows it was
a disaster, and we talked about it day in and
day out. Where's the media talking about what Donald Trump presented.
If under that word salad there was policy, bring it on,
let's talk about it. I would love to do so
Donald Trump is invited to come on and let's discuss it.

(45:24):
But there isn't a policy to discuss. So anybody who's
passing it off is just really saying, I just want
those tax cuts.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Okay, Well, let's look at the policies. Let's do that.
We're going to get down and dirty in the policies
in a little bit. How do we pay for it all?
What's the reality of any of these things happening? And
we're going to talk to our buddy Zach Abraham a
little bit as well when it comes to whose would
be better for the economy, because remember, everybody goes, I
got twenty things I want to do. If you're lucky,

(45:53):
you'll get one and a half of those things that
you want to do if you're lucky three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three. At Chad Show, it's youre Twitter,
and how dare you say Oh, you know Trump, he
never gets covered incorrectly. Right, He's the worst human being
on earth. Nobody would ever say he's a scumbag pos
Nobody would ever say that. And then you got a
bunch of people around a table on CNN, MSNBC, The

(46:15):
New York Times, LA Times, you name it all talking
about what a pos he is twenty four to seven,
and then passed that nobody else will say it. Everybody

Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 25 (47:22):
Hunter Biden had nothing to say to reporters as he
left the courthouse, but he has now released a statement
saying he decided to plead guilty because he will not
subject to his family to more pain. He claims prosecutors
were focused on dehumanizing him for his actions during addiction.
He claims, like many Americans, he failed to pay his
taxes on time, and for that, he says, he is responsible.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I don't think it's the failed to pay on time
because millions of Americans. I've been late before. I think
a lot of you have. Come on, we're human beings.
The trying to write off, you know, the hookers as
a business expense. That was maybe an issue as well,
but that really look, let's be real, he said, nothing
to do with failing to pay your taxes on time.

(48:08):
This had all to do with preferential treatment, and it
had all to do with how did you get all
of this money? Where did it come from? Why do
you have four hundred and twenty five gazillion Shell companies.
He pled guilty yesterday because he knew that a lot
of stuff was going to come out that wasn't going

(48:29):
to be favorable to Pops. That's it. He fell on
the sword. But he also knows he's not going to
do a day in jail.

Speaker 26 (48:37):
Like millions of Americans, Hunter was late in filing and
paying his taxes. Unlike those millions of Americans, he was
charged criminally for his failures that occurred during the depths
of his addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Now having grown up around drugs and alcohol eventually took
my fun, others life, drugs It is horrific, and people
do really bad things. The reality, though, is you've made
a choice and you did some things. We get that,

(49:21):
and God bless him. I hope, I hope he stays
clean and sober for the rest of his life. I
hope all of that is real, and I think it is.
This wasn't about that. I think we know this wasn't
about that. This is about Pops absolutely, one hundred percent,

(49:42):
because the stuff that would have come out would have
been embarrassing for.

Speaker 22 (49:47):
Pops as president, would vice now vice president Harris pardon him?

Speaker 7 (49:53):
Or is that off the table?

Speaker 24 (49:55):
Well, you've heard President Biden make the commitment that that
wouldn't happen.

Speaker 6 (49:59):
I wouldn't imagine that changing.

Speaker 24 (50:00):
With Vice President has obviously, you know, the case is
still ongoing, and we want to be really careful and
respectful of the court process. I don't think that this
should be politicized from the Harris campaign.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
So I understood.

Speaker 26 (50:14):
I mean President Biden has taken it off the table.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
Has the Vice president taken it off the table?

Speaker 24 (50:18):
Well, I just answered, I said, I think that she's
not planning to pardon anyone. But again, there's no I
think it's important to understand there's no sentence or anything
like that happening right now. And so you know, I
would leave this question to the White House and to
President Biden, obviously to Hunter Biden and his personal team.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Would you pardon him if he was your kid? Hell, yes,
commute the sentence, pardon him, do whatever you have to do.
I would absolutely do that. Who in God's name is
not going to pardon their kid. I'm just curious, like, well,

(50:56):
I was thinking about it, But you know, it serves
him bright. This is a lesson he needs to learn.
Are you blank and kidding me? This is Sarah Isker.
She's to work for the Trump administration, brilliant part of
the Dispatch lawyer, like arguably one of the best people

(51:17):
out there when it comes to so much of what's
going on in politics. This is what she said yesterday
and last night, and I'm with her one hundred and
ten percent. I think most human beings would be with her.

Speaker 12 (51:30):
I mean, I think we're in the realm of human
psychology at this point. I think Hearaldo's right that Biden's
honor and his word is very important to him. But
I do think there's one thing that's more important to him,
and that's his family. And what father with the power
to give his son his life back wouldn't do that.

Speaker 27 (51:46):
Now.

Speaker 12 (51:46):
I do think there's a question of when Hunter Biden's sentenced,
whether he'll actually receive jail time. You and I have
talked about this in the past. With the gun charge,
of particular, his sentencing range would be around a year,
but he has no previous criminal It's very possible he
would get home arrest or something to that effect. And
similar with the tax charges. I mean, we've said this before.

(52:07):
These are unusual charges for them to bring. However, once
they've brought them, the DOJ is like a dog with
a bone. They don't let go. And they will seek
the sentence within the guideline range. But will a judge
actually sentence Hunter Biden to jail if he's sentenced to
home arrest, for instance, I could see a world where
Joe Biden does not commute his sentence, does not pardon him.

(52:29):
But if he's going to federal prison, I just can't
imagine a father with the power of the magic wand
would allow.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
That to happen. Amen. And I said this yesterday, tweeted
it out even so I'm on the record as much
as that matters anymore. If Trump wins, he's going to
pardon Hunter. If Kamala wins, she's going to pardon Hunter.

(52:58):
And I think, and I tweeted this out again, on
the record, she's going to pardon Trump because she wants
us all to go away, get past it, move on.
It's kind of an olive branch to America, if that
makes sense. But yes, as a father, absolutely I would,

(53:20):
And and anybody who says they wouldn't, this isn't a
fifteen year old. You're trying to teach a lesson to
plus he took one for the team and as we
all know, hey, he kept his mouth shut. Three two
three five, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
To Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. A
lot of stuff still to get to. Our buddy, Zach Abrahm,

(53:40):
chief investment Officer Bula Capital, is going to join us
talk about what the hell happened with the Nvidia? Why
did their rate? You know, their earnings come in and
they were great, but why did it the stock lose
a kazillion dollars and fall? Plus two economic plans President,
former president and the wanna be president and vice president?

(54:04):
Which plan would be better for America? So much stuff
to get through. Three two three, five, three eight twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That's your Twitter,
your Instagram, Love hearing from you.

Speaker 27 (54:13):
Happy Friday, everybody, It's a Chad Benson Show, The Chad
Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 7 (54:44):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Russia, Russia, Russia, my buddy. Eight three to one. Eric
Coo text me and always mad at me. But we
always have nice conversations. But usually it starts with him
calling me and SOB said, did you hear about the
story we talked about yesterday with the influencers Timpoole, Benny Johnson,

(55:08):
Dave Ruben. They were paid a lot of money. They
should have done their due diligence. I was joking with
my uncle yesterday. I don't see anybody paying me ten
million dollars to spread propaganda, would you. Everybody's got a price.
They should have done their due diligence, and they didn't.

(55:30):
But the DOJ report says, look, they were the victims.

Speaker 13 (55:32):
Here.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
The RT that's the Russian today set up all of
these fake shell companies and all of these things to
get to influencers, and they got to them. And it's
a story. It's like, oh my god, Oh my god,
everybody's figure. Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (55:51):
It is what it is.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
And what's amazing is while all that's going on, China's
meddling for Harris, nobody cares Trump. The end of the day.
It's always about Trump.

Speaker 8 (56:04):
Because the utility of this story, you know, as a
propaganda vehicle, is entirely designed. It's aimed at Donald Trump squarely.
This story would not be in the news. You wouldn't
have every network covering it, You wouldn't have Joe Scarborough
doing rants about it if it didn't have a Donald
Trump angle to it.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
And this has been true since the very first time.

Speaker 8 (56:25):
They unveiled the story way back in twenty sixteen. We've
seen so many iterations of this same theme, and every
time it turns out to be less than meets the
ie or a hoax like I discovered with the Hamilton
sixty eight site in the Twitter files or the Steele dossier.

Speaker 6 (56:45):
So you know, we'll find out. But this idea that
there's this.

Speaker 8 (56:48):
Ongoing, relentless, massive organized campaign by Russia to get Donald
Trump elected is just a phony story.

Speaker 6 (56:55):
This might be a real story, but it's not a
big story.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Matt ty there of course, Matt Tybee, great reporter. Matt
Tybee lived in Russia for a long time. Matt tyebe
very much a lefty but cares about the truth and
was kind of the spearhead of all of the Twitter
files that Elon gave. Speaking of Elon yesterday, Trump decided, Hey,
that Elon guy's pretty smart. Let's do some with him.

Speaker 23 (57:18):
That the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me
his complete and total endorsement.

Speaker 7 (57:23):
That's nice, smart guy.

Speaker 23 (57:25):
I will create a Government Efficiency Commission task with conducting
a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal
government and making recommendations for drastic reforms we need to do.
It can't go on the way we are now. And Elon,
because he's not very busy, has agreed to hit that
task force. Be interesting if.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
He has the time, have a good one to do it.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Could that happen? Should that happen? I hope it does happen.
You know, of all the things that interest me with
Trump's plan, Because for those of you out there who
think he snapped at his fingers and he's a genie,
he's going to fix everything overnight, you're fooling. Our economy
is still stronger than the rest of the world. Our
inflation is high, but lower than so many other places.
And I put that down again, President Deciety. He says

(58:10):
this about Trump, it's the people. It's you and I
see everyday folks that are doing this. Government can be
a helper or can be a hinder it and could
even smash it more than they can help. And the
best help they can do is do everything they can
to take away the roadblocks and the ridiculousness. I like
the fact that he's trying to go ten to one
when it comes to regulation. Some of these things, I

(58:31):
think we're going to help. But the Government Accountability Agency
is awesome. Bureaucracy is the worst of the worst when
it comes to government. For all the conspiracies and the
bs and the for the everyday people, it's bureaucracy. The
amount of money wasted. How often do you get pissed

(58:53):
about that? When you hear about the dumbest things in
the world. How often do you hear a we spent
eight trizillion dollars on studies that don't mean a damn thing.
I was reading one today they put mosquitoes on a treadmill,
or fruit flies or something on a treadmill. What's that helping?

(59:16):
The amount of money wasted? And it got me thinking.
There was a movie that came out I think ninety six,
Kevin Kleine, Sigourney Weaver, Uh Franklinjella, Charles Groden. It's called Dave.
And in the movie there is a president who's awful
played by Kevin Klein, and cheets on his wife cheat

(59:38):
jol a crap super DC. He's the president horrible. You know,
everything is about power in the whole nine yards, but
you don't really hear much about him because you only
seem at the beginning where he's having sex with the
co ed. He has a stroke and they go, we
got to cover this up because you know, it's part
of the movie. They go get Kevin Kleine, who's this

(01:00:00):
guy named Dave who looks just like the president too,
play the president while the people and the powers that
be behind the scenes can navigate the things that they
want done, kind of like what was going on now.
But he goes to like this homeless shelter and he
wants to save so his buddy Charles Groden isn't accountant

(01:00:23):
like an H and R Block liberty, you know, it's
just like a small little private He brings them in.
And why I think this is important is this is
so what our government is about, in the waste of
money and stuff, and says, hey, I need to save
some money.

Speaker 18 (01:00:40):
You gotta help me cut the budget a little.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
You've got to cut the budget.

Speaker 18 (01:00:44):
Yeah, six hundred and fifty million dollars.

Speaker 28 (01:00:48):
I'll tell you, Dave, I've been over this stuff a
bunch of times, it just doesn't add up.

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
Who does these books? I mean, if I ran my
business this way, I'd be out of business.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
And it makes me laugh. So he's got to save
six hundred fifty million dollar, save this homeless thing. He
goes into a meeting and by then they only wanted
to make one or two appearances. He's now soaking it up.
And he goes into a meeting and he wants to
talk to budget and that's not what everybody wants to
talk and how can we save money? But listen to
the waste here?

Speaker 18 (01:01:15):
Now, the way I see it, we need six hundred
and fifty million dollars in order to keep the project. Now,
some of this can be done, it seems to me
through some simple changes in our cash management. For example,
according to the ONB, we've got seventeen defense contractors who
are delinquent in their contracts. Is this true, Frank, I

(01:01:38):
believe so.

Speaker 9 (01:01:38):
Yes.

Speaker 18 (01:01:39):
So even though they're late, we keep paying them on time.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Well in a sense, yeah, yeah, yeah, we keep doing
those things. And you could take that out further. I mean,
remember AOC a few years ago when she was hammering
one of the defense contractors, go, how much does this
cost how much three dollars you charge it? It's like

(01:02:03):
twenty seven thousand, because it's a waste. Because government is
a giant piggybank for a lot of people. This one
is a perfect example of craziness.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
The Commerce Department.

Speaker 18 (01:02:17):
Yes, mister President, you're spending forty seven million dollars on
an ad campaign to boost consumer confidence in the American
auto industry.

Speaker 27 (01:02:27):
Yes, sir, you see, it's designed to bolster individual confidence
in a previous domestic ato modeve purchase.

Speaker 18 (01:02:35):
So we're spending forty seven million dollars so that somebody
can feel better about a car that they've already bought.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Perfect example of ridiculousness. Now that's a movie, but in
real life it's way worse. Waste and accountability. Who would
want that? What if we could trim billions and hundreds
of billions of dollars off agencies that we don't need
people who are going to lose their jobs. People lose

(01:03:03):
their jobs every day in private sectors bureaucracy, and these
agencies and these employee unions are lobbying for each other
because they don't want to lose their gig. Because it's easy,
it pays ridiculously. Well, even if it's useless, there's so
much we could do. And the thought that everybody would laugh, like, oh,

(01:03:26):
we should have an accountability. Where else wouldn't you work
where they didn't have some sort of accountability for the
way that things were spent. Well, government's the only place
that doesn't seem to have that, and I'm for it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:26):
Welcome to Chade. No, not the country, the institution, The
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
That time of the week we talked to the economy,
the thing that everybody cares about. Joining us now, Zach Abrahm,
Chief investment Officer, Board Capital, friend of the show sponsored
the show. All Right, first and foremost, we're at that
time now, it's the Labor Day sprint, the you know,
we're gonna be all over the place when it comes
to the stock market. The reality is people don't seem

(01:05:54):
to be too worried about the jobs market. But I'll
tell you what, earnings. Let's be real, the video thing
didn't knock people off their socks when it came to that,
and it just feels like we're in for a ride. Maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Yeah, a couple thoughts on that.

Speaker 29 (01:06:10):
So, first of all, for a lot of people out
there that don't understand are hesitancy on Nvidian. Look, you know,
I thought it was expensive a year ago, so you know,
take take it with a grain of salt.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
These things are very hard to predict, and.

Speaker 29 (01:06:22):
Especially where in video was you know, let's say, a
couple months ago, and still where it is today.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
Here in lies the issue.

Speaker 29 (01:06:29):
If you go look at the quarter that they announced
by all measures, it was phenomenal, okay, but you just
had a little bit of margin compression and the stock's
down twenty one percent. This is the problem when a
stock gets that expensive, even the most innocuous little change.
What I can tell you with a high degree of

(01:06:49):
confidence is that the chances that they will maintain these
same margins for the next decade they're virtually nil. This
is the problem when something gets so expensive, just the
littlest week can just violently impact the stock.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
And don't look now.

Speaker 29 (01:07:05):
I think he got all these meg seven stocks that
have been driving the market single handedly for the last year.
They've been stalling out, and what you've seen is the
market as too. This goes back to what you and
I were talking about. If you're just betting on the
overall market and those stocks are overextended and they're not
going up, nothing's going up, right, Like they just said,
they have too much weight in the index. Not sitting
here saying the sky's falling, not sitting her sam around

(01:07:25):
the precipice of.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
Some big crash.

Speaker 29 (01:07:27):
But I think you're going I think you're in an
interesting spot here because you've got very very lofty earnings
expectations and the underlying economic activity is not going in
a way that is, let's say, complimentary to those earnings expectations. Right,
you need things to be rolling along, so it looks
right now like you've got much higher earnings expectations than
what's most likely going to happen. The earnings expectations are

(01:07:50):
just buzz lightyear right to infinity and beyond. Everything's rocking
and rolling. But there's no question the economy is slowing down.
You're watching companies that are very consumer facing lou lu Lemon, Alta, Nike, Starbucks,
just name a few, citing weakness on the consumer side.
The other thing is the market has priced in a
good amount of raycuts going into the end of the year,

(01:08:10):
and I just don't see any evidence you're going to
get that amount of raycuts right now. You got markets
priced to perfection and you don't have perfection in the
underlying I think there's some real vulnerability here. You know,
again there's spots of weakness, but overall, this would not
be an economic environment you'd typically think of compelling the
FED to cut, So there's still the risk of that
melt up blowoff top. Yeah, I think it was right

(01:08:32):
for you to key on Nvidia, Chad, because you know,
that's kind of one of those earnings issues where you're
looking at the quarter going wait a second, why is
the stock getting hammered. They did really well, well, really well.
Isn't priced into that? Walking on water is what they're
priced on.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
Talking to Zach Abrahm, chie investment Officer Board Capital, h
we've got obviously the election, all of this that they're
rolling out their economic plans and you sit there and
it's so interesting because obviously she wants to give away
the world and he's also because it's a populism, Sach.
That's what it's all about. Populist And let's tell everybody,
they're going to get all the goodies and we're going

(01:09:07):
to be able to afford it. The fact is we
can afford it. And that's the reality of this. And
you look at their economic plans, what's your sense that
might which one might be better if indeed they were
able to implement any of the stuff they dream of implementing.

Speaker 29 (01:09:20):
Yeah, I mean, unquestionably Trump not because I might ideologically
captured or anything like that. But you know, for instance,
you look at the capital gains tax that you know,
on unrealized gains that she's talking about, that doesn't scare
me so much. But if you look underneath the surface
of it, if the government, like, let's look at something
like property tax.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Okay, so you buy, you buy a piece.

Speaker 29 (01:09:41):
Property, you already you're already compelled to pay the government
rent on that piece, on that asset into perpetuity.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
It's called property tax. Right.

Speaker 29 (01:09:49):
So if the government then in addition to that, also
has the ability to tell you when to take the
realized profit, therefore making you pay cap gains certain period
of time, they already own the right of rent into perpetuity.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
You're really really, you're really.

Speaker 29 (01:10:06):
Challenging the concept of private ownership of an asset. And
it's stuff like that that scares the heck out of me,
and it should because it is her cohorts, it's her ilk.
It's the people that are in her camp that have
made the comments like you'll own nothing, you'll and you'll
be happy. You look at that capital gains tax that
goes part and parcel with that statement of you'll own
nothing and be happy, meaning we're going to structurally change

(01:10:28):
the definition of what ownership of an asset means. If
you've got to pay property tax every single year and
then they tell you when you're going to realize the gain,
therefore compelling when you pay capital gains tax, do you
really own the asset.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
You don't control when the profit's realized.

Speaker 29 (01:10:44):
You don't control whether it is it is bleeding cash
every single year in the form of property tax.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
So do you really own the asset? And I think
that's a fair question.

Speaker 29 (01:10:52):
So look, if you're looking for either candidate to balance
the budget, ain't gonna happen. But if you're talking about
preserving personal freedoms and free markets and the other thing,
listen to her.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
There are no free market solutions.

Speaker 29 (01:11:05):
We're talking about passing legislation price gouging on grocery stores,
which I'm still waiting for somebody to explain to me
how you price gouge one and a half percent margins.
All of these are legislative answers. And I think that
she's speaking very loudly without telling you anything. This woman
is a statist, and this see is she is a socialist,
and that she thinks that a bitter control over personal

(01:11:26):
liberties individual freedoms is the answer to all of our problems.
I think it's going to be very scary if America
decides she's right.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
How could people protect themselves? What do they do? They
want to sit down and talk to you, get a
free risk review You've got your retirement webinar and stuff
coming up? What do people do to reach out to Google?

Speaker 3 (01:11:40):
Know your Risk?

stuff to get to look ahead. The debate coming up
a few days. Last time, I think Trump's gonna see

(01:12:27):
her on stage, and I don't think the media is
claiming for another interview. So this is his chance to
make the case to America. She's not the answer, and
on her side, it's her chance to say he's unstable,
he's not fit. My ideas are better. We're going to
talk about that. We got a little sound souad, some
wacky stories we didn't get to this week. We've got

What's Cool?

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Your bar? Try to make the matter happen. So way
to be down, touchdown. What I say? What a play?
I say? A likely likely? He made the play and
it was a damn good one. NFL back last night,
Chiefs and Ravens rematch the AFC Championship game came down

(01:14:05):
to the last play, Lamar. They're trying to tackle him.
You're not tackling him. He's a video game moved around,
finds Isaiah likely. It was incredible. They're not even thinking
about overtime. Harbrough's running out there with his fingers up.
Not peace too. We're going for two. We're gonna win
it here. We're sending a statement hurled on a second
though something happened. They're enough to overturn. Oh, that's all

(01:14:30):
that's on the line, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
I think Sarry McCauley's gonna have to make this call.
But it looks like that toes on the line, Terry.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
I agree completely, A son of my thir Oh that
was so it was so awesome. I'm so it was
just awesome. It's great. It was a hell of a game.
I'm gonna give you my picks for the weekend. Give
you my picks over all. We wrap up the show

(01:15:02):
later on today, but last night I had to get
a right in Chiefs twenty seven, Ravens twenty We have
a game tonight in sabaut O Brazi. It is the
Eggles and the pack is give you that pick a
little bit later as well. Yesterday there was supposed to
be the start of a trial, that trial is not

(01:15:24):
happening because he's already played guilty.

Speaker 25 (01:15:28):
Hunter Biden had nothing to say to reporters as he
left the courthouse, but he has now released a statement
saying he decided to plead guilty because he will not
subject to his family to more pain. He claims prosecutors
were focused on dehumanizing him for his actions during addiction.
He claims, like many Americans, he failed to pay his
taxes on time, and for that, he says he is responsible.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Okay, millions of Americans. I've been like before when I
pay quarterly and he gets you know, it's it's everybody's
done it. It wasn't about that, Let's be real. This
was about anyone. It was about how'd you get all

(01:16:11):
that money. It was about the fact that there were
a gazillion shell companies and you overnight became an expert
in oil and gas and financial stuff, all of that.
That's what a lot of this was about. That they
were worried about coming out and you paid your taxes.

(01:16:32):
You didn't pay them on time, and you did pay
your taxes. The issue here, though, is some of the
stuff you put down. You're like, all right, I know
I got forty hookers and that is totally a business expense.
So's the sex club. I mean it is a club.
If I could ride off my gym. There was a
lot of that was the issue, But this was about
protecting the brand, protecting the family.

Speaker 26 (01:16:52):
Like millions of Americans, Hunter was late in filing and
paying his taxes. Unlike those millions of Americans, he was
charged criminally for his failures that occurred during the depths
of his addiction to drugs and outcome.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
Look, I wish him nothing but the absolute best. I
don't want him to go down that nightmarish road. And
we're going to talk about drugs and addiction coming up
here in a second. Because it's awful. Everybody knows it,
and thank God that he's got himself clean by the

(01:17:32):
sounds of it. But you're doing this because you know
what the potential was, even though Biden's gone and nobody's
really paying attention, the potential was it would expose a
lot of things that would have been bad for Biden
the brand, Biden the president. They're also been bad for

(01:17:56):
the media who puhooed everything and lied about a lot
of stuff and covered and that would have come out
making them look bad. So across the board, you sacrificing
wasn't because you wanted to save your dad from a
hard time in your family, and you don't know there
was a lot more to it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
Hunter put his family first today.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
And it was a brave and loving thing for him
to do. I don't think he's doing jail time, and
I know that's the big thing. He's got to do jail, Chad,
So he's got he faces a year because of the
gun charges, and he bases a lot of time potentially here.

(01:18:38):
I don't think he's going to do any time, nor
do I think he should. Much like Trump, these things
came up because of his last name, who he's associated with.
That's that's the facts say. It wasn't political. But also
at the same time, the entire time this was going
through up until that judge called bs on a lot
of stuff. Remember when they tried to get that plea

(01:18:59):
deal done, and it was going to basically exonerate him
for everything else. That's an issue right there. So you
were willing to do all of these things and make
it go away magically. That wouldn't happen to the normal
person in the running interference but no, I don't think
he's going to jail. This is Sarah Isker from The Dispatch,
used to work with Trump, a spokesperson in the Department
of Justice. I agree with her here, but I.

Speaker 12 (01:19:20):
Think we're in the realm of human psychology at this point.
I think Hearaldo's right that Biden's honor and his word
is very important to him. But I do think there's
one thing that's more important to him, and that's his
family and what father with the power to give his
son his life back wouldn't do that.

Speaker 8 (01:19:36):
Now.

Speaker 12 (01:19:36):
I do think there's a question of when Hunter Biden's sentenced,
whether he'll actually receive jail time.

Speaker 6 (01:19:41):
You and I have talked about this in the past.

Speaker 12 (01:19:42):
With the gun charge in particular, his sentencing range would
be around a year, but he has no previous criminal record.
It's very possible he would get home arrest or something
to that effect. And similar with the tax charges. I mean,
we've said this before. These are unusual charges for them
to bring. However, once they've brought them, the DOJ is

(01:20:03):
like a dog with a bone. They don't let go
and they will seek the sentence within the guideline range.
But will a judge actually sentence Hunter Biden to jail.
If he's sentenced to home arrest, for instance, I could
see a world where Joe Biden does not commute his sentence,
does not pardon him. But if he's going to federal prison,
I just can't imagine a father with the power of

(01:20:25):
the magic wand would allow that to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
I agree that your kid, and you love your kid.
So one thing, Biden, you know he loves his family.
How could he, It's not You're not running for president anymore.
You know, got a lot of time. It's ridiculous. But
I'm here to tell you something, So get ready for this.
Hold on your hats and glasses. I've already put it

(01:20:48):
on the record, threw it out there on the X machine,
the X Twitter thingy. Biden Hunter Biden will get pardoned
no matter who wins the election. No matter who wins
the election. It's the right thing to do, because of

(01:21:10):
let's just put everything behind us. And Trump knows it'll
piss off Biden and the Democrats. Here's something that'll piss
off the other side. Kamala will pardon Hunter, and I
believe will pardon Trump. So I'm throwing that out there.

(01:21:32):
Put that on the record. Take that to the bank.
three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter, tweet at his
text the program. Let me know what you think. And
the reason that I believe that she will is if
she wins. And again it's a big if. It's because
people recognize what's going on. They've understood how ridiculous this

(01:21:54):
lawfair has been. They I think, calmer people who aren't
living in emotion and rah rah rally the tribe in
government recognize that this is one of those things that

(01:22:16):
will bite everybody in the ass eventually if they don't
nip it in the butt now. So when you've got
you have a Department of Justice guy who came out
was it yesterday and talked about how ridiculous this is
in the over zealousness of Trump's trials and his indictments.

(01:22:46):
That's just my two cents about what I think will happen.
Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson show
to your Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. Also,
Alan Men who has his thirteen Keys to Victory thirteen keys.

(01:23:07):
You say, yes, he came out yesterday and delivered his
verdict on who will win the election. Now, this guy
here is the dude, the nostodamis they count of elections.
Nine out of ten elections he's gotten right. Only one

(01:23:27):
he missed was Bush Gore. And he has these thirteen
keys for the incumbent, which is what essentially she is.
She can't lose six and win the race. So she's
got to have essentially eight keys going her way for

(01:23:51):
her to win the race. As quote unquote the kind
of incumbent, who did he pick?

Speaker 6 (01:23:57):
Who will win the.

Speaker 7 (01:23:58):
Next president of the United States?

Speaker 5 (01:24:00):
According to the keys to the White House, which has
been right for forty years, we are going to have
a precedent breaking victory, Kamala Harris President of the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):

start with Yuah Georgia school shooting, talking about it throughout
the day. The suspect father arrested. Quite frankly, I think
you should arrest everybody in his family because this kid

is the poster child of being failed and then taking
his pain and committing an act of evil. Jessica Peculia,

hearing from every single one of you on this beautiful
Friday right here on the Chad Benton Show. Yeah, the
whole thing with the father, and we've talked about it

(01:29:22):
throughout the show of the school shooter failure big time,
but the giving him a gun for Christmas. As bad
as that was and it was horrific, the reality is

(01:29:44):
that wasn't the act that caused all of this horrific
act to be committed. It was the years of abuse
neglect that caused it. And he shouldn't be forgiven it
all for the crime that he couldmit. That that's on him,

(01:30:05):
But he had help along the way, and it wasn't
just about the gun. The parents, the grandparents' society, as
far as the social services that failed him on numerous occasions.
Everybody's got a part in this. It is awful what happened,

(01:30:27):
and that act that he perpetrated, that's on him, But
what led up to it is on a lot of
other people three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter, your Instagram,
Little Sound Salad coming straight up. Some stories we miss
during the week. We're gonna hit up on those. A
bunch of other stuff as well. Chad Benson Chow The

(01:30:59):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 7 (01:31:19):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 13 (01:31:24):
I don't know about anyone else out there but me.
The teacher is super stressful because I do not want
to be involved at all.

Speaker 26 (01:31:33):
I don't want to do all that extra.

Speaker 13 (01:31:35):
I don't want to come in, I don't want to
set up. If the room mom needs money for everyone
to participate, fine, I'll Vemo money right over. I even
told one of the coaches today that I am a Venmo.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
Mom, so thumbs up. That is Venmo mom. She's very
controversial and I don't know why. That's kind of my
attitude for a lot of the stuff too. And it's Look,
it's not that I don't want to participate, it's just
that I don't want to participate. Wait what, I think
a lot of people feel that way? What do you mean?

(01:32:08):
It's like, do I really have to? And by the way,
it's not just about your kids either, Like that's the
way I think a lot of people feel about a
whole bunch of stuff. It's like, our daughter's getting married,
will you be there? No, here's five hundred dollars. Tell
her congratulations. I love her, She's wonderful. I think it's
Venmo life, Like do you want me to show up
because that'll be my gift? Or do you want the stuff?

(01:32:28):
Those are the choices Venmo mom causing controversy.

Speaker 7 (01:32:32):
Oh my lord, you know it's important context here.

Speaker 15 (01:32:35):
The Surgeon General just to this new advisory Saint parents
are stressed out.

Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
You have four kids.

Speaker 9 (01:32:40):
I don't know how you do it.

Speaker 16 (01:32:41):
You work full time?

Speaker 13 (01:32:43):
Yes, well, I honestly didn't think that it would go viral.
We just moved to a new county and I was
getting really stressed. It was three meets the teachers that day.
It was cheer practice after all of that. Then I
had baseball practice and I just was starting to feel
super overwhelmed. I've been a parent for eleven years now,
and I'm just I'm tired.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
That's life, and it's this scheduling. It's like my son
is a perfect example of like so scheduled. So he
is wrestling, wrestling, wrestling, wrestling, hockey, hockey, other hockey team,
other hockey team, wrestling, then a night off, and then
hockey games to go along with all the other stuff

(01:33:28):
that's exhausting. It is, and you could see you know,
you got you got you doing all these things. You're like,
the last thing I want to do is be the
mom or dad that shows up inside the classroom so
I can feed the kids' cupcakes and with everybody Happy birthday.
Now for me, I love doing them because my daughter's

(01:33:49):
school is very tiny, so it's not a big deal.
At much bigger school, I might be like, sorry, honey,
we're gonna have a party.

Speaker 13 (01:33:56):
Some teachers don't even want a room mom. They're like,
they don't want the ex for help, and they've got it.
I have other moms that are like, I'm right there
with you, like I will spend the money and drop
off the snacks. And then I have the parents that
call me a trash parent or tell me that my
kids are missing out and that they're deprived of me
not being in the classroom and that I don't care,

(01:34:19):
and those are the farthest things from the truth. I
appreciate the moms that do want to do it, but
I'm personally stretched too thin as it is. I'm not
doing it anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
And that's good and that's you know what. The lesson
is here as well. If we can have a lesson
outside because the people are going to bitch all the
time about everything. Oh, I have a chance to criticize somebody, fantastic,
I'm going to do it. You're also showing your kids boundaries. Hey,
Sometimes in life, for the betterment of you, you've got

(01:34:52):
to say no. You may want to do something, but
you got to say no. Speak of parents on the
sound Slid Friday, is it good to be a lazy parent?

Speaker 15 (01:35:04):
You need to be a lazier parent. I think everyone's
helping their kids too much.

Speaker 16 (01:35:09):
What is the expression, like.

Speaker 15 (01:35:10):
The best form of parenting is high attentiveness but low interference.

Speaker 5 (01:35:16):
Is that a thing?

Speaker 15 (01:35:17):
I think that's a thing. Be around, be there if
they need you. Just be like, honey, I'm literally having
a coffee right now. You can get it yourself.

Speaker 7 (01:35:25):
Obviously, as trying to get people's attention by using the.

Speaker 15 (01:35:28):
Word lazy, we all do so much now, especially with
the expectation of after school activities and everyone's kids have
to be making perfect praise. You want to be perceived,
both in real life and online as like a perfect parent.

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
Of course everybody does. But you know what, she's absolutely right.
There's no perfect parents and there's no perfect kids. But
we have gotten to the point where we see it.
Parents do everything for their children and they don't let
their children make mistakes. And part of that is the
fact that, you know, we no longer let kids kind

(01:36:03):
of free roam, like going to the park by yourself.
You're probably gonna get kidnapped. But it's more than just that.
Letting your kids find out about life make mistakes is
a big deal. So I don't know if you're lazy
or if you're just you know, a normal seventies and
eighties parent.

Speaker 15 (01:36:22):
The other sort of secret sauce of it is having
your kids two things on their own. They're going to
make a mess when they're putting cream cheese on a bagel,
or they're going to load the dishwasher incorrectly. It's not
truly lazy, because you're having to teach them to be
self sufficient little people who turn into self sufficient adults.
But I totally think it's it's worth it. Full transparency

(01:36:44):
during COVID. A lot of that self sufficiency got ramped
up because we were working remotely and they were home
during the day. It's like, you guys, know where the
snacks are if you would like to get yourself a snack,
get yourself a snack. You know, I'm on a call
for the next hour and i won't be able to
help you, which was tough, but I think it's been
great for them.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
It is so great for them. So Charlie just turned six.
She made herself dinner the other night. She made herself
a little pizza. She made herself lunch yesterday. Very independent.
That's what I want with my kids. It's tough because
you're watching them grow up fast, you know, but that's
you know. We let our kids kind of free roam out,

(01:37:26):
you know, in the middle of the valley, the nowhere.
So I always like to joke about we did we
let them free roam. They'll take off on their bikes
old school. They've got a little dune buggy and they'll
bounce out of here and be gone for you know hours.
We let him wander around till ten o'clock at night
because I want them, you know, I mean, they're fourteen
I want them. I don't let Charlie do that. I

(01:37:47):
want them to have that. It's okay to get away
a little bit further from the nest, do your thing.
That's that's what life should be about you, because it's
about raising little ones that will become medium sized ones.
It'll become big at ones and then they'll become adults.
And self sufficiency is a huge thing and it's not lazy.
It's just parenting. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

(01:38:09):
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your
Twitter tweet at us text the program speaking of parenting.
The father of the shooter in Georgia was arrested because
he's a pos, not a parent. He's an enabler, he's
an abuser, He's a loser.

Speaker 17 (01:38:27):
The GBI has arrested Colin Gray, age fifty four, in
connection to the shooting here at Appalecchi High School. Colin
is Cote Gray's father that was arrested yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
A disgusting, vile family, this kid. There are two paths
you can go down as a somebody who goes through
hard times. There are I chose a different path. Some
people choose a path that leads them to drugs and

(01:39:01):
crime and just the life of barely surviving. Some people
end up in prison, some people end up dead, some
people end up very few end up like this kid did.
The abuse, the neglect, the failure by family, not just
mother and father. Mother horrible as bad as this guy is,

(01:39:25):
and he's horrible. She's awful. She's in jail. Numerous occasions
would lock him out of the house with the other
two little kids. Neighbors, call CPS and chop protect Services
or whatever they have in Georgia, and they didn't do
anything either. Grappa an aunt new things were going on.

(01:39:46):
They failed miserably. But you can be resilient or or
you can go down another path. His anger took him
in a different direction, but his anger was on display.
Everybody knew this kid had serious issues, knew he was
going down a path. And the reason his dad was
arrested because his dad handed him a freaking gun at

(01:40:07):
Christmas as a present. Not too long after, they showed
up at his house to go, hey, are you threatening
to kill folks in the house?

Speaker 7 (01:40:20):
Are they accessible to him?

Speaker 19 (01:40:22):
They are, I mean, there's nothing, nothing loaded, but they
are down.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
Okay, we we actually we do a lot of shooting.
We do a lot of deer hut and he shot
his first.

Speaker 5 (01:40:31):
Deer this year.

Speaker 19 (01:40:32):
You know, so like I'm pretty much in shop to
be honest with you, Well, I'm a little pissed off
to be even really honest with you.

Speaker 18 (01:40:40):
If that if that is what was said.

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
And what was said was he was going to go
out and shoot a bunch of things up. And they
found this on discord. People are alerted, the cops, they
came over there, they interviewed him.

Speaker 6 (01:40:54):
Right, this is some serious stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:40:55):
Yeah, oh he knows, I'll say, trust me.

Speaker 9 (01:40:58):
Did I hate to I'd rather do it than have
because sover we because God forbid, something happened, right, I
did in my job, I'd be that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
I feel pretty bad about this, as you should. You
have a path that you can choose. My home life
as a kid not great. My father died of a
drug induced heart attack. Was an addict. My mother was

(01:41:26):
an alcoholic, got herself clean, She worked her ass off.
We didn't have a lot, and then there was times
we had nothing. I saw what was going on. I
didn't want that more resilient. But one thing I knew,
even through my dad's addiction and through my mom's issues

(01:41:49):
with alcohol and stuff. Is they loved me. My grandmother,
my aunt in particular, really raised me. I had that,
and I knew I didn't want to end up like
my dad did, and my mom's kick ass and all
that stuff. But here's a perfect example of standing up

(01:42:10):
and saying, all right, this kid over here cannot live
this life. Grandpa, where the hell are you? Aunt? Where
the hell are you? You're on social media, you're hammering people,
and then you're taking stuff down. My mother has adopted
my nieces and nephews, so when I talk about my
little brothers and sisters, she's seventy three years old and

(01:42:31):
I have a little twelve year old brother. But the
path that those kids would have been heading down was horrific.
This situation is a snapshot that people should look at.

(01:42:51):
You had a choice and you chose the wrong choice.
You're evil and hatred of the world. That action that
you did, that's on you. But you didn't get there
by yourself. And that's why there's accountability when it comes
to his father, and there should be accountability when it

(01:43:13):
comes to the people weren't paying attention with the threats,
and there should have been accountability when it came to
CPS and everybody else coming out to the house and
allowing kids that were outside all night being locked in
the backyard not let in the house, no food, same clothes.

(01:43:33):
My god, how many times did people fail a lot? Three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter,

Speaker 6 (01:45:45):
It is, and they're having a fuck conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
How do you know they're having a fun conversation? Hmm,
Young Collinsworth, there was a tea Swizzle sighting last night
at the game. The NFL season is in full effect.
Are you ready? If you're new to the program, I
do my picks every week. I lay them out there
for you every week. Not saying you should mortgage your house.

(01:46:09):
I'm saying I'm putting them out there. Of course, I'm
kidding about that. Are you ready for him?

Speaker 30 (01:46:16):
Let's do it?

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
So last night was the first game of the year.
I got a hell of a game as well. So
I picked the Chiefs yesterday and lo and behold the Chiefs. Well,
they came through for me. The game was awesome, though.
Got a game tonight and stop Polo Overrazil. Take the
Packers over the Eagles. Packers over the Eagles, Panthers, Saints

(01:46:53):
go with Saints, Vikings, Giants go to the Giants. Bengals
will beat the Patriots. We got the Falcons beating the Steelers.
I got the Texans over the Colts Bill's crushing the Cardinals,
crushing their soul. I'm going with the Bears to beat
the Titans. Dolphins will beat the Jags, Broncos, little Bow Knicks,

(01:47:19):
Action beats the Seahawks, Chargers beat up on the Raiders,
and the Browns getting by the Cowboys, Buccaneers over the Commanders, Lions, Rams,
Sunday Night game Go with the Lions. And Monday Night
how long will Aaron Rodgers last? Forty nine Ers taking

(01:47:39):
on the Jets, Go with the Niners. Right, there should
be a hell of a weekend of football. The most
popular television show not even close. Tonight's games on Peacock.
If you don't have Peacock, you can't watch it. From
South Pato, Brazil talked a bit yesterday about how they
were doing the security because it's crazy, you know, I

(01:48:07):
mean the crime. You know, we think as bad as
crime is in certain cities, blue cities mostly, as bad
as it is, it pales in comparison to places like Brazil,
where it is crazy, how dangerous it is. So those
are my picks for the weekend. Now let me break

(01:48:28):
it down for you. I do have the Lions in
the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and have the
Bengals and the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, and
I have the winner of those games. I'm gonna go
with the Lions over the Rams and the Chiefs over

(01:48:51):
the Bengals, and I have the Chiefs winning another Super
Bowl three in a row. I think he wins three
in a row. He's the greatest of all time. That'd
be four what seven years something like that. He's gonna
blow past Brady and everybody else. He's just Mahomes is
just another level of incredible. He really is. As you

(01:49:15):
picks right there, kids, all the way through. I mean,
they're gonna play the season. They might as well. The
one thing about picks, as you never know, is injuries.
So we shall see three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter,
your Instagram. You guys, have a blessed incredible day and weekend.
We'll do it all over again on Monday, and then
of course Tuesday night at the Big Debate. I can't

(01:49:36):
wait for that. I will do it again with you
on Monday. As always, kids and denied by Jack.
