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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
If I'm Donald Trump, I say, hey, get me a card.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I need to send it to ABC what and to
say thank you? You know, look, I'm not going to
be ask you. I don't do that. He blew opportunity
after opportunity. But there's no doubt that nobody's talking much
about the actual debate. They're talking about the moderators. They're

(00:45):
talking about the fact that the moderators were more than
just a participant that was there to be a vehicle.
They're talking about the fact that, hey, you guys played
a major role in this. You came after him as
if you were part of the program rather than somebody

(01:07):
who was supposed to be facilitating a debate being a moderator.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
You didn't do that. You didn't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I had more people reach out to me in the
last twenty four hours, some people upset with me because
you know, Chad Trump stuck to the facts and blah blah.
I had more people reach out to me, though on
the left, some of the usual who liked to fight
with me, and they'll fight about anything. Even if you
agree with him. It's never enough to say, you know,

(01:42):
don't like Trump, but I didn't like what I saw
the other night. It is interesting how quick that narrative
could change. It's very interesting. This is the guy who
is the head of the Presidential Debate Commission, who didn't
get this debate, by the way. He came out earlier
and said, look, look how many people watch this thing.

(02:02):
People realize it's a money thing now and we're not
as involved as we used to be because you know,
the way we used to do it is you get
ninety minutes, and these ninety minutes are there's no cut,
there's no commercial break, there's none of that stuff. It's
just we're doing this and instead, he goes, it's changed,

(02:24):
he goes. But one thing's for sure, man, those moderators sucked.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
You know. We always explain to our moderators, and we've
done thirty three of those credits starting back in nineteen
eighty eight, that their job is to be facilitators. They're
not involved themselves. It's different than if you had someone
on your show and you asked them a question and
they answered in a different way than they'd said the
month before, you would correct them. But moderators are not
supposed to do that. A debate is between the candidates,

(02:51):
not a debate between the candidate and the moderators. And
these moderators, as so far as I was concerned, it
was the worst performance that I've seen, and I've I said,
I've done thirty three of these things over the years.
I don't know what their thoughts were, but they clearly
were oversized. I think on the way they treated the
former president and the way they treated the president vice president,

(03:13):
I think they've bent backwards to help her.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
And that was evident, evident even to people who don't
like Trump. And here's the other part where it was evident.
Two people out there who are undecided, who still don't
know if they're going to vote for Trump, but what
they do know is what they saw the other night
felt like three on one and we said, look it
was I said that yesterday. I also said, you missed

(03:36):
opportunity after opportunity after opportunity where you know, she was
able to get you off your game. Thank you, ABC,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
It was.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I mean, the reality of you fact check Trump on
everything and you don't do it once to her so egregious,
Like the part where they asked him about you know,
you said you lost by a whisker. And when he
was on the Lex Friedman podcast and he said, I
have was sarcasm.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
And then was it mirrors? That didn't sound like sarcasm.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
What the hell are you talking about, dude, You're not
part of this, but it felt that way. People wonder
why he at times can be a sympathetic figure. You
look at how he's treated in the media outside of
Fox at a few other places.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
It is brutal.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
And that one statistic that the people on the left
want to completely ignore is ABC's coverage of Kamala has
been one hundred percent positive. The coverage of Trump has
been ninety three percent negative. Those things become bigger now.
I still think he didn't do great, and some people
are pissed about that. Totally understand. I tell you this

(04:49):
all the time. I'm going to give you the reality.
I'm going to give you what you need to hear,
not what you want to hear. And that's part of
the echo chamber. And I think Trump has got lost
in that echo chamber. And we'll talk about that a
little bit later. But thank you is what you should
be saying.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Holy smokes, this debate could not have been worse for
the Harris campaign. It could not have been any worse.
And the sad thing is she actually looked pretty good
on stage, but the moderators in ABC ruined it for her.
You got to remember, folks, campaigns are two things, sound
bites and snapshots. People aren't going to remember most of
what happened tonight except for this. The moderators at ABC

(05:28):
allowed Kamala Harris to stand on that stage over and
over and over again, eyeing to people, lied about her record,
her involvement, and the Biden Harris administration. She lied about everything,
and the moderators let her get away with it.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
People will remember that, and that's the interesting thing is
you're no longer talking about Harris talking about the moderators.
You're no longer talking about whether or not she did
good bad as she won or didn't win. People now
are defending them fact checking Trump and trying to say
that there was no reason to fact check her there.

(06:05):
So ABC essentially you surped her as the story, which
is the story itself, and that's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yet the same moderators seemed to have prepared clarifications for
the things that they suspected that Donald Trump was going
to bring up most of those fact checks were not
true and everyone knows it because people aren't stupid. They
allowed Kamala Harris to lie repeatedly, and then they tried
to take Donald Trump down themselves.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
And look, I'm not going to be the one that
blows smoke and tell you that he did a great job.
He didn't. I mean, and in a day of presentation matters,
he didn't present the arguments that he needed to present
the way he needed to present them. He got off

(06:57):
track too much. He didn't stay on top, and none
of them did. But he was easily swayed. And I'm
gonna tell you something else, and we're gonna get into
his next hour. He didn't look happy. You know. The
great thing about twenty sixteen and this, you know, this
run up into the twenty sixteen election, and you know,

(07:19):
and him and you know, here he is in twenty fifteen,
comes down to the escalator smile on his face. He's
beaming all of the stuff that he was having fun.
He was enjoying himself. Now nine years of getting beat down,
being impeached, indicted, the fights that go on, the the

(07:40):
criticism twenty four to seven from everybody, people, you thought
were your friends. Aren't your friends that get on anybody?
But there was a certain joy that came with the
way that he did things back then that he doesn't
have now, A certain freedom, if you will, that is lost.
And we're going to get into that a little bit later.

(08:03):
But across the board, he didn't win, but because of ABC,
he comes out a sympathetic character. And I'm talking about
for the three hundred thousand to you half a million
people that will decide this race, a lot of them

(08:25):
are like, you know, I remember that the economy was good.
I don't think it was fair that they only fact
check him. It shows you that Meadia's got it in
for him and they love him at the same time,
because sixty seven million people watch that, that's a big

(08:48):
ass number. They're not watching that if it's Harris versus
Nikki Haley, not watching that, not sixty seven million. Trump
brings something to them they don't have. He's a great
foil and he plays into it. But ABC, if your

(09:11):
goal was to make him a sympathetic character rather than
hold his feet to the fire, well you made him
a sympathetic character. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your
Twitter tweet ats, texted program. A lot of stuff to
get to today, the conspiracy world. We're going to talk
about the real issue in a place like Springfield that

(09:35):
isn't being talked about enough, and the frustration that people
are having, and yes, the conspiracy side of it, which
just continues to go and go. And it's so weird
because no matter what you show people what the truth is,
some people just will never believe it. Raycon best here
but around love my Raycon's. Wear them every single day workout.

(09:58):

easily charge these things in between shows, and it doesn't
take that long because they have new fast charging function.

Chad Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
I just want to say, after surviving the PTSD of
the last presidential debate, how unbelievably refreshing it is to
go back to the same old Nobody's getting ants that
was true. I love that nobody did. I tweeted that
out the other night. That should be the headline. Nobody

(11:55):
answers any of the questions that were actually asked to them.
We heard Ja Tapp her earlier talk about it.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
It was all about pivot, pivot, pivot, and.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I mean, now that the dust is settled, as we
were talking about, people look around and they're thinking to themselves,
all right, well, you know, okay. Presentation wise, maybe she
did a little bit better, but she answered no questions.
There was her questions are and we're going to give

(12:30):
you money to help you with the American dream. That's
not answering a question. That's just you're throwing something out there.
That's a campaign slogan, how do you do it? But policy, Remember,
policy no longer matters. As we talked about, it's presentation.

(12:52):
That's the thing that matters more than anything else, especially
when it comes to these debates. It's presentation. What does
How do you present yourself? That's the thing that matters.
Are you likable? Were the words no longer matter? Which
is a shame speaking of words. There were some words

(13:14):
spoken answered. It was some nice, some funny ones. It
was nine to eleven, jd Vance and everybody were together,
which he talked about, by the way, and we'll get
to that in a second, But he went to New York.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
This is a great city in a great country, and
I'm very proud to be here today. But I will
say I even got I took you know, my wife
and I went on a walk in Central Park just
a couple of hours ago.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
We had a little.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
Downtime, and I think the most welcoming thing that I
got was the universal Manhattan symbol of we're number one
from somebody who was nearby. So it's been good vibes
all the way down here in New York City.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Which you know. I'm looking forward to his debate with
Tim Walls, which will be the first, I think Tuesday
the first. I'm looking forward to that because I think
that is going to be very interesting because if there's
a guy that's policy based, it is that guy. But
he did talk about something that I think we need
to emphasize more that we don't do enough in this country.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
With President Trump and President Biden and Vice President Harris,
and I think it's important, of course, to show some
real bipartisan unity over what was one of the most
significant tragic moments in the history of our country, which
was September the eleventh, just twenty three years ago.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
And if he didn't see it, they were actually all
together yesterday. So Trump had never met Gumhlaris until debate night,
and then the next day, within like twelve hours, they're
shaking hands again at this ceremony, and the way he
shook her hand and he stared at her, and it
was it was just.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
It was a good moment.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
And everybody's bringing up Laura Lumer was there, and maybe
we'll talk about that a little later, the conspiracy side
of things and how this is affecting Trump. There's just
so much conspiracies out there, and you get sucked into
those things. But it was a nice moment that we
could put aside some partisanship and say, look it in
about us.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's about America.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
It's about what happened on that day, and that matters
more than anything else. I found this interesting, and I'll
tell you why, because this whole thing is rather interesting,
what Iran is doing. But there was a man who
was hired by a foreign government to go hire people

(15:35):
to kill people.

Speaker 9 (15:36):
The Justice Department says a sigherr Chant, a Pakistani national
with allegedly running and connections, sought to hire hitman to
assassinate former President Trump and others, according to an indictment,
after arriving in the US from Pakistan in April, where
Chad met with undercover law enforcement agents in New York,
believing them to be hitmen, he paid them five thousand
dollars for the job and discussed plans for the assassination,

(15:58):
which was to be carried out in late August or
early September, where transplot was reported by a confidential source
he initially contacted for assistance.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Why is that interesting? Iran's tentacles, no, no about. They
are using everybody they can to essentially kill anybody that criticize,
especially the Iranians who criticize the government, including the Mob

(16:32):
and the Hell's Angels. Those are some of the people.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
They've reached out to, the Mob globally and the Hell's Angels.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
To pay them to go.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
And kill foreign nationals who may be speaking out against
the government or may be involved in trials that Iranian
people who are supporters of the government may be a
part of. So they're actually and they've reached out to

(17:07):
the Hell's Angels and the Mob that is nuts three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
is your Twitter tweet.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
At his text the program and Hell's Angels. I expect
better from you. I do know who you're working with.
It's a Chad Benson.

Speaker 10 (17:28):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
This is Chad Benson there.

Speaker 11 (18:05):
Eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. Eat the cat,
Eat eat the cat. They're eating the dogs, They're eating
the cats, eat the cats, eat the cat. They're eating
the cats. They're eating the dogs, eat the cat, eat
the cat.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
The cat. Somebody remixed that.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Did you know that?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
That's not the way it actually came out. They're eating
the dogs, they're eating the cat. Cat, eat the cat,
eat the cat. That's not true. I know it's not true.
When he said it the other night, I rolled my
eyes and I thought, Jimminy freaking crick, what the hell
are you doing?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
What are you doing?

Speaker 8 (18:44):
Chad?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
I've seen body cameras, yes, of a woman who's black
and an American and lives in Canton, Ohio, not Springfield.
I've told you that she's mentally disturbed, but it doesn't matter.
It doesn't it doesn't matter. I told you guys all
the time, and I always tell you this. I'm gonna tell.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
You the truth. I'm gonna tell you what you want
to hear.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
This ecosystem of people who live in an echo chamber.
And this goes for both sides, both sides of you,
because the left hates me at times and the right
hates me. You don't say something nice about Trump the
way that you you want to hear it, you're gonna
get in trouble for it. Case in point ends. And
we always remind everybody you can leave us a voicemail.

(19:29):
Love or hate, we don't care. Just calm down on
the F bombs, cause I don't have to edit everything.
But you can call three two three five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three and leave us a voicemail.

Speaker 12 (19:40):
It's that it just hurt you make the comment on
the radio that Donald Trump did too well.

Speaker 13 (19:46):
I definitely disagree with you.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
He stuck to any issues like he was supposed to, andyf.

Speaker 14 (19:51):
It didn't help that.

Speaker 12 (19:52):
He had two moderators, had.

Speaker 11 (19:54):
An opponent ganging up on it.

Speaker 15 (19:56):
It's truly too bad.

Speaker 11 (19:57):
That you can't see that you blindness a person that
I've ever seen not to message your rhinal litz hard
too in an idiot at that.

Speaker 8 (20:07):
If you didn't do well.

Speaker 10 (20:08):
Then how come they're the ones that are opting for
another defeat.

Speaker 16 (20:12):
I bet you didn't to think about that, did you?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Your pore on God.

Speaker 17 (20:16):
I can't believe how stupid you are.

Speaker 14 (20:18):
You're fifty three years.

Speaker 17 (20:19):
Old or fifty four, and you act like your.

Speaker 18 (20:22):
Hand all the time.

Speaker 11 (20:23):
Absolute stupidity join with stupidity and the finest in it all.

Speaker 16 (20:29):
Unbelieve the whole.

Speaker 8 (20:30):
Just how dumb you really are.

Speaker 17 (20:32):
I don't know how you manage to make it in
radio like you did. That's how stupid you are. Aunflup
more idiot.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
I love that you said something about my Yaley, and
I don't like it. He didn't do well the other night.
He had opportunities. We've talked about the moderators at nauseum.
But you could have done better. You could have done better,
There's no doubt about that. He gets stuck in these conspiracies.
You know we're joking about the cat thing.

Speaker 12 (20:58):
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
You don't need to do that. When he brought it up,
I thought, and then he says in the middle of it. Well,
you know it's been on the TV, and you're like, so,
what's a real truth about what's going on in Springfield?
Because I do think that matters. I think it matters
because there is a serious issue there and it is

(21:20):
not being addressed.

Speaker 19 (21:21):
This immigration situation here is affecting nearly every aspect of life,
from what I can tell and from what the residents
are telling me here in Springfield, Ohio. I'm here at
a jobs and kind of family center here in Springfield.
This was packed with a line all day. It was
primarily Haitian immigrants, Like literally all day long. I couldn't

(21:43):
get me to speak to me because they don't speak English.
But the services here, they're really understrained. It's the infrastructure.
The accidents on the roads are skyrocketing. People are really
concerned about that. That I was told there are three
alone today. The crime rate, if.

Speaker 18 (21:59):
You look at the BIDATA, the.

Speaker 19 (22:01):
Crime rate from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two is
up one hundred and forty two percent. Residents say that
is during the time when this kind of influx has come.

Speaker 20 (22:13):
Yeah, that's a real issue. What brought people to the
issue was the conspiracy thing that somebody spread some sort
of disinformation slash misinformation and it exploded.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
But truth is, there are real issues there.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Nobody is interested in finding out the truth in certain
situations because there's a narrative that goes there, or it
doesn't fit the sensationalism you want. And that's frustrating, you know,
the biggest issue. But yes, we talk about the crime
and all that stuff. The driving issue is a massive
issue in Springfield. Insurance rates through the roof. This is

(22:58):
a mother who lost her mother speaking out a couple
days ago.

Speaker 21 (23:06):
Everyone is talking about the death of ducks and cats
in this town, but I'd like to talk about the
death of one very special person, my mother in law,
Kathy Heaton. On December first, I received a phone call
that changed in.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
My life forever.

Speaker 21 (23:19):
She was collecting her trash can from her driveway when
her car struck and killed her instantly, a tash she
had done over two thousand times spanning four decades in
Springfield that morning, though a Haitian immigrant was allegedly driving
recklessly when he struck and killed her, I say allegedly
because to the state, there's been no punishment, not even
for the expired tags on the vehicle he was driving.

(23:41):
Months before she was killed. I began noticing the reckless
driving and complete disregard for our driving laws by some
members of the Haitian community. It made me angry, but
now my anger has tard to fear for the safety
of my family and the citizens of Springfield.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I'd been to.

Speaker 21 (23:56):
Haiti fourteen years ago. My husband and I went, and
it was my first time in a third world country.
I sabbed when I saw the poverty living there, and
I have great empathy and compassion for them longing for
a safe place to call home.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
So there's a woman who's upset because she feels abandoned
by her city and the federal government that decided, hey,
there's some jobs over here that are menial, we'll put
these people here. They'll be under protective custody because they're
here for asylum, and so they've got that kind of
you know, where they're here, they're allowed to work. They're
parolled out there, allowed to work, and they'll have you know,

(24:32):
and they we'll just kind of throw them out there
and see what happens. This is the unintended consequences that
nobody wants to talk about. Federal government and you know
the conspiracy side of it. And we talked yesterday about
the ducks, right, did they take a duck or geese?
I've said this, If they took a duck or a geese,
I don't have a problem with that. Now, I don't
want you to do it next to my kids at

(24:53):
the park. But if you're down in some ravine to
catch a duck, what's the difference to you a damn
duck from or a damn duck from the Chinese restaurant.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Well, it's different. I don't have to see it.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's but it's happening, and they don't want to admit it.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
The government's never going to come out if somebody caught
and killed the dog and ate it.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
The government's not gonna.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Come out and go, yeah, they're doing that. They're not.
They're not going to do that. But all of this
takes away from the real issues that are happening there,
the frustration that people feel inside of the city being overrunned,
their services overrun, their schools overrun.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
It's all.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Becomes such an issue for them on a day to
day basis, but in reality it's been that way for
a while and this brought eyeballs to it, but they'll
recognize it in a week or so. People will move on.

Speaker 13 (25:47):
So this isn't the community that you grew up in
or have lived in your whole life.

Speaker 8 (25:52):
Not even close.

Speaker 16 (25:53):
The commissioners, attorney general, all this stuff, most of them
won't call you back. They don't want to talk about it.
And the city they'll just lie to you, flat out
lie to you. You know, they'll tell you that there's
really not a bad problem here. There's an extremely bad
problem here and it's only getting worse.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
And I fear what's.

Speaker 16 (26:14):
Going to happen next because the people are mad.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
And that's it. The people are mad. They've got every
right to be mad. And a vast majority of the
people that are mad, they're not mad at the Haitians.
They understand what's going on. They're not thrilled by it,
and they're pissed and feeling like at times, yes, the
Haitians are are are overstepping and doing things that they
they shouldn't be doing, But in reality, they're pissed at

(26:40):
the people that have allowed this to happen. They're leaders
in the city, the state, and the federal government. That's
where the anger right now should be placed three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson
shows your Twitter, somebody just text me and go. You
don't care that they take a duck. It's the difference
if you duck hunt.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Now.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Like I said, if I'm at the park feeding the
ducks with my kid and you come over and snatch
the duck, I'd be a little pissed about that. But
if you're down in the stream in a reservoir, nobody

Speaker 23 (28:50):
House speaker Mike Johnson has this plan for a temporary
funding of the federal government, keeping the lights on it
while they work out the broader plan.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
But there was.

Speaker 23 (28:59):
A serious setback yesterday because Mike Johnson's plan has fallen apart.
He pulled it from a vote that was expected to
take place yesterday afternoon, because it was an acknowledgement of
the fact that he doesn't have the votes right now
to get his vision for what this temporary government funding
plan would look like done.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
And so really back to square one.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Oh my god, we're talking about shutting down the government again.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
What does that mean?

Speaker 23 (29:23):
Tell me hundreds of thousands of government employees going just
fully without pay, being told not to go to work
and therefore not getting paid, or government employees who have
to show up to work but they don't get paid
until finally the government gets fully funded. Not to mention,
by the way, the impacts of the services the federal
government provides and the fact that it has a serious

(29:44):
impact on the US economy, and one of those key
aspects of the US economy, which is trust in the
federal government to do its job and to meet its obligations.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Well, I don't trust in the federal government to do
its job, and a lot of things A lot of
people do.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
A lot of people don't. I think, Uh, the federal
government is too damn big.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
I think a lot of people This used to be
a staple of Republicans, smaller government, smart spending, and accountability
Now doesn't matter what side of the al you're on.
Bigger government, more spending, zero accountability. It's kind of what, Well,

(30:28):
it's what government has kind of always been. But the
staple of one of the beliefs of the Republican Party
was that, and it is. It is frustrating, and you know,
it's interesting. It's like, so wait, I just want to
so all these people are going to go home and
they're not going to work, and then some are going
to work. And they always make it seem like if

(30:49):
there's a government shut down, the people that go to
work and work, they're doing it for free. They're going
to get their money when they fund the government. That
will happen. So it just it amazes like, ah, those

(31:09):
people are working for free. They're not.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
They're still going to get their money when the government
gets funded. It's the way it works.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
And I love how all these people can go home
yet like it's a vast majority of the services continue on.
And you know, one of the things that Trump you
know what he talks about.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
You know, they would talk about Project twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
You know, one of the big things in there is
you know, and then even Trump has talked about long befour.
This is actually getting rid of several agencies that are
crossover agencies, getting rid of a lot of people in
the government, which is hard to do because there's so
much of it that is not needed, that is antiquated,

(31:58):
and the amount of money we spend and waste, it's it's.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Crazy.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
What would happen if quote unquote the government shutdown? What
would happen? How would that look? Would the world come
to an end for us? What if only a portion
of the bureaucrats were funded? It would be interesting because
there was a interesting thing that happened. There is study

(32:30):
about people who went on strike and this was out
of out of London. All the garbage people went on
strike and after a month there was garbage everywhere, and
finally they caved and gave them what they wanted. The

(32:51):
bankers said, we're going to do the same thing. We're
going to go on strike. They were on strike for
like six months and nobody cared. Do you think if
some of these people just never came back to work
that the work wouldn't get done.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I think that's not true. I think it would get done.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
And I think then you would realize, oh, my god,
they don't need us and the money we could save.
But here we go with another we're gonna.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Cancel everything because the government shutting down.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Fight three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet at
as text to program. I do wonder how long does
Mike Johnson have because that's the new thing now that
they're back in session. They're like, he survived the first one.
How long do you think he has now? Well, I

(33:40):
think he's gonna get through this. But because he's raising money,
that's the other side of it. He's raising money. Is
he raising as much as Ken McCarthy. I don't think
he is. But he's raising money. But they're already eyeing
should we if he gets a funding thing done, should
we get rid of him? And you're like, this is

(34:00):
where we're going with this crap? Hey, speaking of something
that's not crap. A spacewalk by a billionaire eb.

Speaker 15 (34:06):
One you or go for manual hatch.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Open, manual hatch open. So this, of course is the polaris.
They're out there spacewalking. How cool is that?

Speaker 8 (34:17):
Now?

Speaker 3 (34:19):
People are very excited, as you would be, because hey,
it's it's not bowing, cheering. And so they're going to
be back in a couple of days. And this is
we talked about it earlier this week. So this is
all private SpaceX. They went up there, farthest they've been
away from the earth, farthest people have gone since the

(34:42):
Gemini nineteen sixty six, and.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
All private, which is awesome.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
So and they're supposed to get back here and it's
the first ever private spacewalk. So you're out there, you're
doing your jam, you're spacewalking. That's pretty damn cool.

Speaker 12 (35:02):
Speaking of Boeing, thirty three thousand Boeing workers could walk
off the job on Friday. There will be one ballot
on Thursday to accept or reject a new contract offer
and another to say yes or no to authorizing a strike.
Boeing and the union came to a new tenet of
agreement this week, impacting workers on airplane assembly lines, but
Boeing workers who made it clear they don't like it.

(35:22):
They want their pensions restored, and the proposed contract removes
incentive bonuses and does not offer the pay raises they want.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Are you guys not? This is when you read the room.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Maybe you take a short term, one year deal, and
we'll revisit it when our stock isn't dying and we
are not being looked at as a para by the
world by not being able to do our jobs and
planes falling apart and our space stuff not being able
to get the people back. Maybe you're like, look, wasn't
a good year for us. Let's take a short term

(35:54):
deal right, short term, no long term, and then we'll
test the free agent market next year. Three two three, five,

(36:16):
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent life,

(36:50):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
We love it when you reach out to us.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Please do three two three, five, three eight twenty four
twenty three at Chat Benson Show. That's your Twitter or Instagram.
I've got some of your tweets and some of your calls,
you can leave a voicemail there. Last hour we talked
about the Haitian immigrants, you know, the stuff that's that
It's been frustrating as hell over the last twenty four
to forty eight hours when it came to the debate,

(37:13):
and then you know, prior to that, with the memes
and all the stuff and the disinformation, and again I
have said it didn't happen, and no matter how many
times you tell people, doesn't matter. But then at the
same time, some people hear things and they take it
in a much different way.

Speaker 17 (37:28):
Yeah, I was calling in regards to the statement that
was made about the Asian immigrants, which I found very
insulting and very revolting me being a descendant of hatient
dependent in the Caribbean. The notion that people would even

(37:53):
want to eat animals is just a bunch of malarkey,
and to stretch that into some kind of norm is
absolutely ridiculous and absurd. If people actually go back and
study the.

Speaker 14 (38:08):
History of our culture and our beliefs, and you know
how we embrace I mean and those that actually come
here into the United States. We are the fabric of
what it means of building unity and democracy.

Speaker 17 (38:29):
So this whole thing.

Speaker 14 (38:30):
About what was spread about.

Speaker 17 (38:33):
Gdie Vance and Trump who.

Speaker 14 (38:36):
Continues to dispute great division, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Again, I didn't say it, and I said, there's no proof.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
There's no proof it's not happening.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
But it's frustrating because there's a real issue in a
place like Springfield and several other cities across this country,
and it takes a conspiracy theory to talk about something
like immigration and the bad things that are going on
when you throw people into a culture they're unprepared for

(39:10):
and a town and city that is unprepared to handle
an influx like that, and then you get chaos. And
I blame this administration as you should, as any of
us should, because it's their fault. It is, But it's

(39:32):
the conspiracy theory thing. And I see why people get frustrated.
You know how many times a day I get something
sent to me that is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
And then you're like no, and then.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
They'll go and say you're wrong or I saw it.
It is frustrating as hell because it's an echo chamber.
And that's the sad thing. People get caught in these
echo chambers and they just live there.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Both sides do it. The left sitting there. Good that
does it happen to us? It does? You have bluin'
on trust me? Russia? Russia.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Russia was a big ass uh ah, wasn't real.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
People knew it, right.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
The conspiracy that the Republicans came up with Hunter Biden's
laptop wasn't real. Oh wait it was. So everybody's got
their own. And part of that's because everybody lives in
an echo chamber.

Speaker 24 (40:39):
But MAGA is also in a bubble, and a very
significant bubble, and they don't get that. The rest of
the country doesn't think that immigrants are eating cats and dogs,
and that there's post birth abortions and all the other
lunatic things that Donald Trump won twenty twenty. So if
you stay in your own bubble, you buy definition are
not reaching enough people to win an election.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Chank you were there from the young Turks and everybody
stays in a bubble somewhat.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
We all have some confirmation bias.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Both sides do it, and then they fight over which
conspiracy is true. And I'm not saying some things aren't true. See,
the problem is in the media, the establishment version of it.
They love to take something that the hunter Biden laptop

(41:32):
turn it into a conspiracy theory for their people, Russia, Russia, Russia,
and the dossier turn it into a conspiracy when the
FBI knew that you couldn't trust this guy was a
fake novel.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
That's the frustration.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
And then you get disinformation versus misinformation versus reality.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
And if you get to that.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Point where it's all muddled up, well then whoever wanted
it muddled up wins.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
ABC failed the other night.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
You guys know that, I know that people are talking
more about ABC. One of the reasons a lot of
people are saying that Kamala wants to have another debate
is because they stole her thunder. They stole her thunder
and will there be another debate? Well, you know, when

(42:29):
you don't win, it's like a fighter.

Speaker 11 (42:32):
When a fighter is a bad fight, gets knocked out
or loses the fight.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
The first thing he says is we want to rematch.

Speaker 18 (42:40):
So we won the debate.

Speaker 11 (42:41):
According to every pole, every single pole, I think that
are we going to do a rematch?

Speaker 18 (42:46):
I just don't know, but we'll think about it.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
And you know, we had a caller earlier who yelled
at me and says that's why they want another debate
because she lost. She didn't lose. ABC was the biggest loser.
Trump did not do well. Here's a guy who's endorsed
him and trying to help him get elected.

Speaker 25 (43:06):
Vice President Harris clearly won the debate in terms of
her delivery, her polish, her organization, and her preparation. I
think on substance, president Trump wins in terms of his governance,
but he didn't tell that story. In fact, the first

(43:30):
question was an extraordinary lost opportunity because there's a question,
and I think Doris pointed out that she never answered,
which is our Americans better four years later?

Speaker 3 (43:41):
And that was the reason he lost the debate on substance.
On the things people look back and think, four years better,
We're better off with the policies you had. We were
better off with, you know, at least from what we
can remember, stuff getting out of wars, not funding. I mean,

(44:04):
we can go on and on and on about that
we have, but he never told the story, and that's
the loss. Presentation in today's world matters a lot. Policy.
It's presentation that matters. Policy is the thing that governs us.
Presentation is how you get that job, and normally Trump

(44:27):
wins that. But I said this earlier and I'm going
to continue to say this over and over again. You
go watch twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen, him coming down, smile
on his face, laughter, not angry, those debates that he
have even with Hillary laughter, funny, quick smile. Yeah, he's

(44:54):
lost something on his fastball. If you don't think he has,
you're fooling yourself and you're telling yourself a lie because
it makes you feel better. But there's no joy in
it anymore. There isn't and there was and people saw that,
and they saw how genuine he was, and he was
very genuine. But now he's kind of you know, I mean,

(45:18):
you go through nine years of the media, after you lawfarempeachment,
government battles, here you go, you're gonna be not the

(45:38):
same as you were. The hell that he went through,
and some of that was his own making, is a
lot to take. I mean, we always talk about when
a president goes in what he looks like and when
he comes out what he looks like. Well, think about

(46:00):
the disdain that how many people out there have of him,
the fact that somebody took a shot at him, what
like six weeks ago, eight weeks ago, and that's kind
of like a forgotten thing. The fact that das are
willing to essentially do whatever they possibly can to come

(46:26):
for him. By hey, I got a novel theory, and
that's how I'm going to win this race. The fact
that people profit off his back by coming after him.
The industry like an, MSNBC and CNN live off of him.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
That's got to be a lot.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
And they live off the fact that people hate him,
and he's also got people that love him.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
That's a lot.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
There's no joy there like there used to be, and
you can tell and that does matter. People feel that
people see that.

Speaker 8 (47:04):
You know.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
One of the things is by all metrics, if you
go back and watch the three debates with Hillary, she
probably won two, if not all three. She on the
other hand, though, was unlikable. That was very evident along
the entire race up. She felt not only unlikable, she

(47:28):
felt like she was above it all and all the people,
and that did not help her. There wasn't any fun
enjoy in it. Trump spoke like somebody we'd never seen
in the world of politics. He was a much different person,
and there was joy there and there's not, and that's

(47:49):
what's missing. And I'm not talking about the joy that
they're trying to spread over there with Kammlin stuff. I'm
talking about the fact that the way he approached things
he did in a serious way, but with a laugh
And you'll get that every once in a while at
one of his rallies, because he is funny. But it's
not the same as it used to be. Three two, three, five,

(48:10):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show,
to Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. A
lot of stuff still to get to man, so much stuff.
We're gonna teach you how to sleep a little bit better.
We got the ten things that are gonna help you

Speaker 2 (48:27):

Speaker 3 (48:29):
I'm one of those people. But I've been, I've you know,
it's not that I struggle, I just I just never have,
even when I was a kid that didn't sleep a lot.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
God try some new things sometimes.

Speaker 3 (48:39):

Speaker 6 (50:08):

Speaker 26 (50:10):
We are still buzzing after the Lincoln dumbass debate. Couldn't
have gone much better and did for Kamala Harris. He
baited him masterfully. He was either blowing a stack or
staring straight ahead, squinting with a sad mad face that
he had the same look on his face said he
has when McDonald's won't make him a mcgriddle after ten
thirty am.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
I talk about it. Imagine how pissed and anger you
would be if everybody in the world made fun of you,
fought you, and came after you. You'd build up some anger.
I think at times, there's no doubt about that. You
think about it, how angry so many people are on

(50:53):
the left, how much disdain so many people have for him.
As we talked about it earlier, the joy at times
has been lost, and you can sense that. But you've
got what four or five like late night talk shows.

(51:16):
It wasn't until the very end of Biden that they
would even touch Biden. It was we hate Trump. Let's
make it known. That would wear on anybody, absolutely all right,
Sleeping vitally important. Trump doesn't get a lot of sleep.
I don't either. There are ten things that you have

(51:39):
to know when it comes to sleep. You just like
must things that you need to know, and many people don't.
First and foremost, it's gonna help you sleep better. Not
knowing how much sleep you really need. People tend to
underestimate the amount of sleep. Margat Thatcher's sleep four hours

(52:00):
a night.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
That's kind of about me.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Dakota Johnson, actress says she cannot function unless she gets
at least ten hours a night. Number two Eating too
much or too little. Yeah, we've all been there, going
to bed on a big fur and did at the
same time being hungry. You better figure out where's the
sweet spot when it comes to that. Screens before bed.

(52:26):
Number three, No, which is so hard, Yeah, very hard
to do. Because we live on our phones. We'll even
get up the middle night. You gotta go to the bathroom,
will you might check your phone? Number four mistake not
winding down.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
I know this.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
When I used to play like indoor soccer and our
games would be late. I would get home at like
ten thirty and I couldn't sleep. Till two I didn't
wind down. It was tough. It was just a hard
thing to do when you gotta get up extra early.
That sucks napping too much. Now I nap better than
I do sleep. So sometimes I'll take a good hour
or two nap in the middle of the day because
I know I'm only going to sleep two hours at night.

(53:03):
And whether I take a nap or does or don't,
my sleep pattern at night never changes. For a lot
of people, it does spending too much time awake in bed.
Number six is that you, yeah, we sit around there
and sometimes we just lay there and we're just like dude,
dood dud dud dud dud do. Not getting enough sleep

(53:23):
on weeknights thinking you're gonna make it up on the
weekend is a no.

Speaker 18 (53:26):
No.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Number eight inconsistent sleep schedule, which in the modern time
a little tougher than back in the olden days. Number
nine drinking too much caffeine and alcohol can disrupt sleep.
And number ten actually worrying about sleep and whether or
not you're getting enough is also a bit of an issue.

(53:52):
So those are some of the things if you worry
about your sleep. Some of those things you can do.
The screen. Thing is a big deal. Absolutely three two, three, five, three,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your
Twitter tweet at us text the program. It is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (54:16):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Remember no, you know you can't.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
That right there. Biden yesterday, I don't know where he was.
I was still surprised he was making appearances, but it
was actually interesting the video. There's an old guy who
probably as old ast Biden, and you know, like if
you were just straight out of Central casting. He's got
a belt on, he's also got suspenders on, a white

(55:20):
T shirt and like jeans or khakis, and he's talking
to Biden byes on the stage and Biden gives him
a hat and signs it and he's a Trump support.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
He's got a Trump hat. Just very nice.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
They're having a conversation about being old and he gives
him his Trump hat and he goes put it on.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
He's like no, and he goes, do you want me too?
He goes, it'll show unity and he.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Put it on and everybody's chair and then he said
don't eat dogs or cats.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Every once in a while. He is a lucid moment
that makes us laugh. Amazon.

Speaker 27 (55:53):
Amazon is revealing a new food brand called Amazon Severt,
which will include pantry, staples, produce, and protein, most of
the products priced under five dollars. It comes after Walmart
and Target announce their own price cuts in recent months,
and as the biggest proposed supermarket merger in US history
between Kroger and Albertson's. Ald is also adding to the competition.

(56:15):
The discount grocery chain says it's adding thirteen thousand workers
while boosting its average hourly rate to twenty three dollars.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
It's kind of interesting Amazon.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Everybody's looking to where can they make inroads on something? Right, Like,
where can they make these inroads? What is the thing that.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
You can do.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
To like the industry? And they're looking around and they're like,
oh my gosh, she's talking about price gouging. Well, guess
what we can do all of these things and in
a better way and cheaper and blah blah. And they're
making a run at it, and people will bitch and
then they'll go, well, if they're gonna bring me my food,
we can do some grocery stuff like this. If we
can do a pharmacy like this, we can do this
like this. It's uh, you know, you take advantage of it.

(57:04):
I've the other day I ordered something on it. It
was so cheap and it was like three or four bucks,
you know, from Amazon and it and it got here
the next day, and I thought to myself, that's all
they came to my house. I live in the middle
of nowhere. Somebody made money on that. I don't know

(57:28):
how much they made, maybe a nickel. But it's crazy.
We love our you know. Let's say, do you know
what the Trump talks about the tariffs that stuff they
got into the other night. It's a tax on America
and stuff. We've had tariffs before. By the way, Trump
brought up something again. It gets lost in this this,
you know, the debate chaos of you know, he won,

(57:51):
she won this, that and the other. But the tariffs,
you know, Biden, he you know, totally forgotten because for
them it wasn't important. It is the fact that Trump
put a lot of tariffs on China and Biden didn't
remove any of them. Some of them be captain some
of them even strengthened. So we forget that. But we

(58:14):
like stuff cheap. You know, we became a consumer country.
We wanted to consume and people wanted to sell to us.
Speaking of the debate the other night, Dave Smith, comedian
talking about what he saw.

Speaker 28 (58:29):
I gotta say a word about the moderating where it is.

Speaker 18 (58:37):
Look, it's a given.

Speaker 28 (58:39):
Anybody who pays attention over the last eight years should know.
It's a given that any of the corporate media hacks
who moderate these debates are obviously going to have an
anti Trump bias.

Speaker 18 (58:52):
That goes without saying that's always the case.

Speaker 28 (58:56):
Last night's debate was by far the most egregious version
of that that I've ever seen.

Speaker 18 (59:04):
It was. It really was a three.

Speaker 28 (59:07):
On one debate where not the the moderators were not
only in the framing of their questions, where half of
I mean half the questions were like, now, Donald Trump,
people tend to feel like you're a piece of shit.

Speaker 18 (59:22):
What do you think? Why are you such a piece
of sh They'd be like, okay, Kamala Harris, why why
do you think Donald Trumps such a piece of sh And.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Then she would say your crowd sizes are tiny, and
then he would just go off, Oh, it's not very nice.
It was kind of funny though, but that was you know,
that's the way people felt because it was that way
it was. And I started the show out by saying
he should send them a thank you card because while

(59:52):
I think her presentation in the way she came off
was better than him, and he got way too distracted
and didn't explain his positions good enough in the opportunities
he had to capitalize on plenty of different things he
didn't pull off. And you can blame the moderators, but
you had chances, and you could have challenged her and
tried to get her off her game, and you didn't.

(01:00:13):
There was no doubt in anybody's mind that it was
slanted in a way that everybody recognized. There was never
any good follow ups. She never explained any of her positions,
and I think, you know a lot of people are
starting to go okay, people want to figure out you
got to come with more than just cause I'll get
people to send I got somebody who send stuff to

(01:00:36):
me every day.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
And as I always say, I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Don't care that you say bad things about me, you
know whatever, you can at least be cordial at times.
But he'll say, look at all the things that Kamala
wants to do. And they're just campaign slogans. Give you
twenty five thousand dollars for your house, okay, and how

(01:01:02):
are you doing that? How are we funding that? What
do you think will happen? What are the repercussions?

Speaker 13 (01:01:07):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Those are campaign slogans, And they never went back at it.
It's just I mean, when Jake Tapper's calling you out.

Speaker 29 (01:01:15):
Vice President Harris began the debate by punting the first
question on the economy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
You believe Americans are better off than they were four
years ago.

Speaker 30 (01:01:22):
So I was raised as a middle class kid, and
I am actually the only person on this stage who
has a plan that is about lifting up the middle
class and working people of America.

Speaker 8 (01:01:34):
They went on from there.

Speaker 29 (01:01:35):
Despite the economy being the number one issue facing the country,
the sitting Vice president generally reverted to talking points about
a few of her policy proposals. Even harris allies today
are saying that she needs to talk more about what
she will do for Americans if elected.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Because Okay, I understand that you're saying you want to
do those things, but saying, hey, I I am this
and I'm for you. Do you have anything to back
that up or is that just that I'm supposed to
take your word at.

Speaker 29 (01:02:07):
It, but more about the need for her to fill
in some of those blanks on the border, another vulnerable
issue for Harris.

Speaker 24 (01:02:14):
She also dodged.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
Would you have done anything differently from president by numbus?

Speaker 30 (01:02:19):
So I'm the only person on this stage who has
prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs,
and human beings.

Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
Okay, that wasn't the question.

Speaker 29 (01:02:30):
When asked how she would break through the Israel Lamas
war scalemate, Harris said this.

Speaker 30 (01:02:35):
We need a cease fire deal and we need the
hostages out, and so we will continue to work around
the clock on that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
Okay, but again, how well, you're not going to get
the how. And a lot of that has to do
with the fact that we just don't do debates like
we used to. This is the guy who runs the
Presidential Debate Commission. They're kind of the people that in
the past have done all of the debates. But since

(01:03:03):
money making has become a big part of it, he
was talking about it. Look, money making is part of it.
We used to give ninety minutes, no commercial breaks. Well,
there's lots of money you made on those commercial breaks,
so it was sixty seven million people tuned in the
other night.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
ABC cleaned up.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
They did, they think about sixty seven million people eyes
on them, so they cleaned up big time. So of
course they're going to do things differently. Plus, rather than
get deep into stumping where you may have five to
seven minutes on a subject where you can talk a
little bit more, they run through it rather quickly and

(01:03:41):
zero substance with stuff like that. But that's also on
us because we don't demand to know the how. We
just want you to tell us all the great things
you're gonna do, and that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
That's all you got to do is tell us.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
And of course he had did have something to say
about the moderators, which part of the thing that we
talked about was keeping everybody in their lanes with their
questions and making sure that they answered the question, and

(01:04:16):
in many cases they didn't. And then it was evident
throughout the entire time that it was three on one.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
You know, we always explain to our moderators, and we've
done thirty three of those got Its starting back in
nineteen eighty eight, that their job is to be facilitated
they're not the involved themselves. It's different than if you
had someone on your show and you asked them a
question and they answered in a different way than they'd
said the month before, you would correct them. But moderators
are not supposed to do that. A debate is between

(01:04:43):
the candidates, not a debate between the candidate and the moderators.
And these moderators, as so far as I was concerned,
it was the worst performance that I've seen, and I've,
as I said, I've done thirty three of these things
over the years. I don't know what their thoughts were,
but they clearly were oversized on the way they treated
the former president and the way they treated the president

(01:05:04):
vice president. I think they've bent backwards to help her.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
There was no doubt that they did, and that was evident.
People saw that, even people who can't stand Trump that
were honest enough to go, yeah, that happened. I mean,
you know, you're fact checking people in the middle of
something people like. Don't you like fact checks? Here's the thing.
What you need to understand about the people who support

(01:05:29):
Trump and the people on the right, all they want
is fairness. If you're going to say we are going
to fact check you, and then you get fact checked,
and then the other side doesn't get fact checked. That's

(01:05:49):
the frustration that people have and they say, well it's
not fair. Well you've got your own. Well she's not
debating with bright Bart, she's not debating, you know, with
some right wing she debated with ABC. Who We remind
everybody when you look at the numbers, here is and

(01:06:13):
this is from all sides, and give you everything balanced news.
One hundred percent positive stories for Harris, ninety three percent
negative for Trump. You expect them to be fair. That's all.
People are asking for fairness. That's what they want, fairness.

(01:06:35):
Give them the same as you're going to get. And
they didn't do that the other night, which turned out
to be within twenty four hours. Look how great she
did to Yeah, she may have won, but ABC sold
the entire story because they ended up being part of
the story because it was three on one, three, two, three, five,

(01:06:56):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three. Actually had Benson
shows your Twitter tweet at us text the program and
like I said, presentation is a big deal and we've
been talking about it throughout the day.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
There is not the joy that Trump used to have.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
The you know, Devil may care smile, the kind of
you know, just this this swagger about him that he
used to have, that you could see on stage that
he was enjoying himself. Now it is not the same,
and he is angry, and it doesn't come across that way.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
And it's understandable why he's angry.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
That being said, that joy and the way he came
at it before, and the way that he handled this
business in the first presidential race, and that feeling and
that you know, you could see it on the stage,
that separated him from everybody else. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Welcome to Chade. No, not the country, the Institution, The
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 31 (01:09:15):
I'm not gonna take a knee. I'm not gonna, you know,
ask to defund the police. I'm not going to protest.
I'm not gonna do any of that when it comes
to being inside of this this football, you know, because
this is this is my therapy, like football is my therapy.
This is how I get away from like a lot
of stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
That's Tyreek Hill and I love the fact he said, look,
I'm not going to ask the defund the police.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
I'm not gonna do any of those things.

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
If you remember, the Star headed to the game opening day,
it was pulled over by the police, opened his window,
didn't open it far enough. A second cop came. That's
when the incident happened where he was pulled out by
the cops, detained on the ground, and it was again

(01:10:03):
it was filmed. That cop is on administrative leave and
he you know, the fact that he comes out, he says, Look,
I don't want to defund the police.

Speaker 31 (01:10:11):
I don't think that we should, you know, use his
as a moment to you know, separate you know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
People, or divide people.

Speaker 31 (01:10:22):
Or you know, make it a battle or anything like that. Man,
because I still love I still love cops.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
He talks about the fact that he wants to be
a cop.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
He also talked about the fact that, look, I am
Tyreek Hill and what if I wasn't Tyreek Hill. Now,
he admitted to hey, I should have rolled down the window.
I should have not been that person. But me, there's
no law that says you have to roll your window down,
so me not. You know, I should have done that,

(01:10:52):
But it still didn't give them the right to do
what they did. But he did talk about the fact that,
you know what about his kids and how they get
to see Hi.

Speaker 31 (01:11:00):
I think it's good my kids get to see me
in a different light instead of playing football, to get
to see me as like a hero in this aspect now,
So it's a win win man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
It's a win win man.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
I just it's refreshing that this hasn't turned into a
big racist thing and helps the cop is not a
white guy, right if his name is Cracker McGee, we'd
be having probably a different story. He was also upset
about the way that they treated his teammates who came
over to try to figure out what was going on.
And eventually he was released and he went on played
a hell of a game, as he.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Tends to do.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
But it became a bigger story than it should have,
and a big reason, obviously it is because he was
Tyreek Hill. But I think everybody can learn a lesson here,
and they want that cop fired. I don't know if
that's going to happen. Could some disciplinary actions take place,
that's a possibility. I mean, the way he came at it,
I mean, I think it's fair to say that there

(01:11:55):
was that second cop and that's what it was the
first cop didn't seem to have an issue. It was
the second cop that got there then ripped the door
open and pulled him out. But he did recognize that
his part to play in it was I should have
complied a little bit more. I should have rolled the
window down. Three two, three, five, three eight. Twenty four,

of you've chimed in about you saying you you didn't
see it, but now you do. The Trump not having
the same kind. It's just not having fun and that

(01:12:41):
was such a big allure in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
He was fresh.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
It was different, yes, but he was having fun then
and it is evident that he is not having fun now.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
Yeah, that's all the queer kids in the Midwest watching

That are those apples?

Speaker 15 (01:15:25):
Chad?

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
It's important.

Speaker 18 (01:15:26):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
I get Will the Swift endorsement do anything move the needle?

Speaker 34 (01:15:31):
Hi race for it.

Speaker 33 (01:15:32):
Tuesday night, immediately after the ABC News presidential debate, Taylor
Swift but a full throated endorsement if Kamala Harris for president,
calling her a steady handed, gifted leader.

Speaker 25 (01:15:41):
I was not a tailor Swift fan.

Speaker 33 (01:15:43):
President Donald Trump, responding to Swift's pick Wednesday Morning on
Fox and Friends.

Speaker 25 (01:15:46):
She's a very liberal person.

Speaker 11 (01:15:48):
She seems to always endorse a Democrat, and she'll probably
pay a price for it at the in the marketplace.

Speaker 33 (01:15:55):
Swift, perhaps the most popular music artists on the planet,
stayed out of politics earlier in her but in twenty
twenty endorsed Joe Biden for president.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
Stadt of politics, You're gonna get hurt by She's not.
I'm gonna tell you that right now. Swift is not
gonna get hurt by this. It isn't happening. It isn't
She's not. It's like, oh my god. People are like,
it's not happening. And she's not arguably the biggest she
is the biggest star. She's at the point now where

(01:16:25):
it is safe to say, and I'm sure somebody will
get pushed back here. The Beatles, Elvis, Taylor, that kind
of size, he throw some other rolling stones.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Obviously, you two.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
At their height, not not close as big as they were.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
I mean, but when you talk about mania, it's Elvis,
it's the Beatles, it's Taylor. That's that's huge. I mean,
other acts have had their moments, but not like this.
Beyonce as big as she is. Beyonce and jay Z
touring together. Aren't this big? She is an event? Now

(01:17:03):
does it move the needle? Are people? Like we talked
about yesterday?

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
The one thing she's not going to get is a
bunch of guys, which is what Kamala needs.

Speaker 8 (01:17:12):
Taylor Swift.

Speaker 15 (01:17:13):
Last evening, she endorsed Kamala Harris for president and urged
her own fans to go out and register to vote.

Speaker 8 (01:17:19):
So the question is will this have any impact? I
think it might, you know.

Speaker 15 (01:17:22):
In her Instagram post, Taylor Swift posted a link in
there urging her fans to go out and register to vote.
How many folks actually clicked on that link? Nearly three
hundred and forty thousand. That was just as of two
pm today. Clicked on that link that took them to
vote dot gov.

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
Okay, so that happens. So they go vote dot gov,
they sign up, do that stuff great? By the way,
writer left, you need to go register to vote. Unless
you're taking your cues from a pop star to vote, Well, Chad,
you talk on the radio.

Speaker 8 (01:17:50):
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
This is my job. That being said, I will never
tell you to vote for vote for hell.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
You want, you want to vote for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, Mickey Mouse,
Kamala Harris. Vote for whoever you want to vote for
based on the research that you do about the issues
that matter to you. Go ahead. But if you are

(01:18:14):
only voting because she told you to, please God, don't
so very nice.

Speaker 8 (01:18:21):
Now.

Speaker 15 (01:18:21):
In the past, Taylor Swift has actually shown that she
can move voter registrations. Look back at twenty twenty three
when she posts on Instagram and urged her fans to
go out there and register to vote. In twenty twenty
three on National Voter Registration Day, voter registrations we're up
twenty three percent versus twenty twenty two. So Swift does
have an impact in terms of voter registration. But voter

(01:18:43):
registration is one thing. How about convincing those in the
electorate who are already registered to vote to vote for
a different candidate.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
See the one thing about she told everybody go register
and it was a week week nod nod kind of thing.
And she sometimes talks around stuff because she also understands
that a lot, a lot of the people that are
her fans.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Mom and Dad are maybe more conservative. So it's walking
the fine line. Because Michael Jordan put it best, Republicans
buy shoes too. Now Trump, it's much different with Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
And I will say this the stars today, it is
a lot easier to come out and say I hate
Donald Trump than if this was say Nicky Haley. I
think you would find less stars doing what they're doing. Yeah,
they may lean left, but the way that they would
come at this, I think would be a totally different thing.

(01:19:43):
Trump evokes a reaction out of people, and so for
some it is, hey, they feel totally fine.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
But if you put Nicky Haley up there, somebody who
is an old school conservative that talks at times about
women's issues in a much different way and doesn't have
all the baggage that rightly so and wrongly so that
is attached to Trump, I don't think you would find

(01:20:17):
the stars and the people coming out the way that
they do against Donald Trump, because it's not against it
is truly against a guy that they hate with all
of their heart and soul.

Speaker 8 (01:20:32):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:20:32):
Donald Trump says that Taylor Swift will probably pay a
price for her political endorsement of Kamala Harris, but has she.

Speaker 8 (01:20:39):
Paid a price for her past political endorsements.

Speaker 15 (01:20:42):
Nah, In twenty eighteen and twenty twenty, she endorsed Democrats
for office, including Joe Biden in twenty twenty and then
last year, guess what, for the first time, she made
the Forbes Billionaire List.

Speaker 8 (01:20:53):
So it hasn't hurt her bottom line so far.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
No, it hasn't, and it's not going to so for
those of you because I got some text yesterday, she's done.
She's not done. She is not done, not done now. Eventually,
like everything else, the star shine will fade, There'll be

(01:21:17):
a controversy hero there and then you know, the next thing,
you know, she is not I mean even the Beatles,
you know, I mean.

I'm signed James Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, ser.

Speaker 22 (01:24:12):
Lot trumping.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
That's why I was turning on the old indewebs on
this Thursday. Where do we start today? Start over? And yeah,
who led Donald Trump? Obviously lots of stuff going on
with the Donald. You saw the debate. Vm A Awards

war Laura Lumer nine to eleven yesterday?

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
His Trump brought her somebody here? I don't know. And
if she's one time she was a really good reporter.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
Now she's kind of gone off. Everything's a conspiracy, Uh,
it's you know, and like anything, can't have a conversation
about somebody where you think there's a lot of conspiracy there.
Some of it may be true, because it's you have
to put somebody into camp either you're this or you're.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
That, and that's and that's a sad thing.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
John Bon Jovie, did you see that Save the Lady
in Nashville on a bridge Innyana Fever? It's a basketball team.
Those who don't know, not that not that there's some
sort of fever that you get when you're in Indiana.
That would be weird. Uh, Springfield, Ohio talked a little
bit about that today. Not going anywhere is what I'm saying.
Start over now on Twitter, Trump VMAs, never forget yesterday

(01:25:35):
nine to eleven. Haitian Springfield David Muir, he was the
other person that Trump was debating. Oh goodness me.

Speaker 15 (01:25:49):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
September eleventh, ABC News Dave Grohl, Charlottesville Moderators PAC twelve.
So the PAC twelve is down to two teams, but
now they're going into other conferences instealing their teams, So
apparently they're backup to six math not their strong point. Finally,

(01:26:14):
over to the magical world of Google, Shannon Sharp addressing
his sex tape Instagram thingy VMA Winner's body found in
foodline freezer and Raleigh, North Carolina. And you guys are
worried about Haitians eating kiddies? What are they doing in
North Carolina? Oh jeez? Katy Perry, John bon Jovi, Sabrina Carpenter, Springfield, Ohio,

(01:26:39):
Katz which is the name of my new band. What
Lenny Kravitz, Aubrey Plaza, Addison Ray, Kendrick Lamar, new song,
all of these things trending in the magical world of
Google three two, three five, twenty four, twenty three at

(01:27:02):
Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter tweet at as text
the program. You know, some of you yesterday were pissed
at me because I didn't support Trump enough. Some of
you were pissed at me because you think all I
am is Mecca. That means I'm doing my job, which
to make you think right. And that's what I'm trying

(01:27:25):
to do, is make you think. I'll never tell you
who to vote for. You guys, know where I stand
on the issues, and vote for whoever you think is
going to do the job that you want them to do.
You know where I stand on the issues. I believe

(01:27:45):
the conservatives and the right have better ideas. Doesn't mean
that they're going to pull them off. It is frustrating
out there though, you know, for those of you on
the left who don't want to believe. The other night, yes,
Trump didn't do well. We could sit here and talk about, oh,
you know, he stayed here on the facts and this,

(01:28:05):
that and the other. He just didn't do well. He
can say it's the greatest of all time, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
He didn't do well.

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
And the bar is so low when it comes to
what he was facing last time Biden with her, you know,
I mean they oh, she was transcended. It wasn't that
it was marginally average. You'dn't jack the booch, and you
were able to throw Trump off his game. And it's
interesting because I've seen people talk about you go back

(01:28:38):
and watch Hillary and him compared to now, he's more
than lost a bit off his fastball, but you know
what else he's lost. Trump was having fun. He was
having fun in twenty sixteen. He was having he was
enjoying it, and he's not anymore. And that is an issue.

(01:29:02):
And you can see it when people talk about the anchor,
and there's a reason for that. Look, you can have
a disdain for Trump all you want. Take a step
back for just a second, though, and think to yourself.
Imagine having half the country hate you, and in many cases,

(01:29:24):
take one little thing and run with it, having media
try to destroy you over and over again, having people
in the media like Joe, Mika and Joe who once
loved you, who now can't stand you who make a
living off of you, channels that are devoted essentially to
destroying you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
That'd get under anybody's skin.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
It would, but you can see, and we talked about
it earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
He's not having the same kind of fun.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
Part of the reason he did so well in twenty
sixteen is because he came at this in a much
different way and he was enjoying himself. And somewhere along
the line he's lost a lot of that. And it
shows three two three five three eight twenty four twenty three.

(01:30:18):
That's the text line, tweet at us text the program
love hearing from each and every one of you. And
by the way, when you that text line, I give
you the three two three five three eight Chad when
you go there, if you want to leave a message,
you can call that number and actually leave a message
on any subject. And we do love hearing from you.

(01:30:39):
We play plenty of those. We've got more of those
coming up as well. Missing the show, gread the podcast,
Chad Benson.

Speaker 10 (01:30:45):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
What's true, what's not true? Does it matter? As long
as the story's good.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
You know, the situation with the Haitians in Springfield. I
was probably the first, and I've reiterated it over and
over again.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Kat wasn't eaten by a Haitian.

Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
The video that you saw was real, but it was
by a mentally disturbed person who was an American in
a different city in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
But the rumors ran wild.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
Then Trump brought it up the other night and the debate,
as we all know, and then the rest of the
media is like, well, we got to make sure that
none of this is true. So let's send people out there,
and we'll do this. Find everybody who agrees with us.
And if you shoot, you know, and by that I
mean film, not shoot people. If you shoot one hundred
hours of tape, find the only people that agree with

(01:32:18):
our point of view.

Speaker 34 (01:32:20):
This morning, a stunning moment from the debate stage going viral.

Speaker 18 (01:32:23):
In Springfield.

Speaker 11 (01:32:25):
They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, They're
eating the cats.

Speaker 34 (01:32:29):
Former President Trump is spreading unfounded claims that members of
the growing Haitian population in Springfield, Ohio, are eating animals.
City officials say there's no evidence of that. Mister Trump's
basis allegation, setting off a social media firestorm.

Speaker 11 (01:32:43):
They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.

Speaker 34 (01:32:45):
Overnight, Ohio's Republican governor saying there's no evidence of the claims.

Speaker 11 (01:32:50):
This is something that came up on the internet, and
the internet can be quite crazy sometimes.

Speaker 34 (01:32:55):
Haitian immigrants here shocked and hurt going to this man
to frightened to show his face or us his name,
says Coworkers at his construction job have repeatedly asked him
if he eats cats. V Les Dorsetville, who runs a
community center for Haitians, says many foot violence at home.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
I got a friend calling me asking me if he
has to live because he's screedful for his life. So
you're going to find the person that is going to
back up your claiming story. Okay, that's what you're doing.
It's you know, perfect example is that if I went
to a Trump rally and I couldn't stand Trump. By

(01:33:37):
the way, I've been at pretty much everybody's rallies, So
the one that was the most entertaining, but Trump rally
was too damn long. I'm gonna be Underson host you
just way too long. The Bernie's rallies were entertaining because
there was a lot of crazy people, fun people, very

(01:33:57):
nice people.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
Trump's fantastic, Biden.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
I was the only one there. Uh Joe dating men showup. Kamala,
she's she's been out here in a while. She had
that big one up, you know, and she had the
big one in Phoenix and niny good.

Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
But I've been to a bunch.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
But if you want to get views, clicks and likes,
you nutpick. That's what they do with UFO people, right Like,
if there's twenty people all in suits, all reputable people
in the community, and they saw something, but there's a
guy in overalls with no shirt, hat flipped backwards, eighteeth

(01:34:39):
cross eyed, that's the person that you're gonna want to
talk to because that's gonna get clicks, likes, and views.
Now they're gonna go find everything that goes against anything
that Trump said.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
On Monday, Trump's running meete Senator JD.

Speaker 34 (01:34:55):
Vans claimed on social media that there were reports of
pets being abducted and eaten here, doubling down after the debate,
what do you say to Haitian Americans and Haitian immigrants
who say spreading false claims about them put their lives
at risk?

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
Well, I don't think that no one has spread false claims.

Speaker 7 (01:35:14):
What they've said that small migrant community has caused a
lot of problems.

Speaker 34 (01:35:18):
Bill Monaghan helps manage a local Facebook group called Stop
the Influx into Springfield, Ohio, and says he believes some
of the baseless claims are credible.

Speaker 15 (01:35:27):
It's going to continue to turn basically from an American
community to a Haitian community.

Speaker 34 (01:35:34):
Tensions have been high here since eleven year old Aiden
Clark was killed in a school bus crash last year
and May a jury found a Haitian immigrant guilty of
vehicular homicide. But Aiden's parents are urging people to stop
using their son's death to spread hate.

Speaker 31 (01:35:48):
Did you know that one of the worst feelings in
the world is to not be able to protect your child.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
Even worse, we can't even protect his memory when he's gone.

Speaker 18 (01:35:55):
Please stop the hate.

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
Yeah, and totally understandable.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
That kid became a symbol that and that's how a
lot of this real issue started.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
And see, here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
While taking something like the cat thing and then turning
it into something what ends up happening is the real
issue in this city is the fact that you've brought
fifteen to twenty thousand people in the space of about
thirty six months, give or.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
Take drop them off in a community where.

Speaker 3 (01:36:35):
They have crushed the services, put pressure on all of
the community. There has been a frustration, a lot of it.
I'm gonna tell you this right now. Driving is a
big issue. Driving is a huge issue. Haitians aren't good drivers.

(01:36:57):
They're just not. They're not.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
A crime has gone up. I blame the federal government,
the city.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
Council, the community around there, the powers that be there
in the state, because this town that had fifty eight
thousand people now is almost seventy eight thousand people in
a short period of time, and people are going, what
the hell's going on in our community where we feel
like we're being put in the back, and all of

(01:37:26):
a sudden, these people are elevated, and there's a frustration there.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
They're not adapting to our culture.

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
And we're seeing our town change in such a quick
way that they're pissed about it as anybody would be.
And I blame Kamala as Joe Biden, their administration for
what they have done. And this is so many towns
that are dealing with something like this. This just became

(01:37:59):
a big thing and all of a sudden it was conspiracy,
and we're gonna debunk it in the whole nine yards.
The bigger issue is the fact that you've allowed how
many millions of people to come here. We have no
idea who some of these people are. They show up

(01:38:21):
and God bless them. Let me tell you something if
you guys know nothing about Haiti. I was telling my
stepdaughter Lily, she's thirteen, she's very She and I have
conversations a lot about politics and stuff. She's very interested.
She's really interested in constitution and we have chats all
the time. And I was trying to explain to her
and I said, you know what's going on in Gaza

(01:38:44):
with the Palestine And she's like yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38:47):
I said, you would rather have been there.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
Before what took place on October seventh than been in
Haiti over the la last several years on its best day.
Is how bad it is? So you've got all these
people and influx of people. They've got jobs that that's

(01:39:11):
a lot of it too.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
Who's getting paid?

Speaker 16 (01:39:13):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
Who are these people? What businesses have said, hey, we
could use cheap labor. I mean, there's so much that
goes into this. But if you're in a community you
would feel like, what the hell's going on?

Speaker 34 (01:39:27):
The pet rumors seemingly got started with an unrelated case
in a separate part of Ohio where a US citizen
was arrested over a gruesome incident with a cat.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
It is you know, somebody said to me yesterday. It's
perfect example. So he said, Chad, what if they were
all white people. I said, I'm going to tell you
this right now. If there were a bunch of Swedish
people who moved into my town, didn't assimilate, treated my
town like crap, drove recklessly, putting people's lives at risk,

(01:40:03):
and in times killing people, I would be pissed and
we need a change or a movie. I would want accountability.
This isn't about the skin color. It's about the actions.
And you can't blame them for wanting to come here.
I blame the government for allowing these things to go

(01:40:24):
on in such a way because you are not vetting
them properly. You are not helping them along the way
to assimilate into communities, and you're not going to the
communities and assimilating helping them assimilate in by asking the community,
we're going to need your help. This is what's going

(01:40:48):
to happen. We're going to need your help instead. It's
like you guys are asked out. And while that father
is upset about his kid, as anybody would be, and
people are trying to make it this big symbol, he's
not the only one who has struggled and suffered because

(01:41:08):
of well what has taken place there and the I'm
telling you guys, the driving side of it is a
massive issue.

Speaker 21 (01:41:18):
Everyone is talking about the death of ducks and cats
in this town, but I'd like to talk about the
death of one very special person, my mother in law,
Kathy Heaton. On December first, I received a phone call
that changed my life forever. She was collecting her trash
can from her driveway when he struck and killed her instantly,
a tash she had done over two thousand times spanning

(01:41:38):
four decades in Springfield that morning, though, a Haitian immigrant
was allegedly driving recklessly when he struck and killed her.
I say allegedly because to the state there's been no punishment,
not even for the expired tags on the vehicle he
was driving. Months before she was killed, I began noticing
the reckless driving and complete disregard for our driving laws
by some members of the Haitian community. It made me angry,

(01:42:02):
but now my anger has heard to fear for the
safety of my family and the citizens of Springfield. I've
been to Haiti fourteen years ago. My husband and I
went and it was my first time in a third
world country. I sabbed when I saw the poverty living there,
and I have great empathy and compassion for them longing
for a safe place to call home.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
You can do that. Do you realize that you welcome
these people in and they're willing to assimilate. It's going
to take time. They are back ass word. It's not
their fault where they come from. That's the reality of
the life that they have led. We've talked about it
for the last several days. I mean, you got a

(01:42:43):
guy named Barbecue who's running your country, or at least
certain portions of it, Kenya sending people to come over
and battle the street gangs. That's not good. You're a
failed nation state. But if you're not going to get
buy off from the community, you're going to have tension.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
And it's no longer about the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:43:07):
Though that should be talked about, it has become Trump
said something wacky and wild. It started a conspiracy, and
because of that, we'll ignore the real problem because now
we can go do this and instead of actually talking
to a whole bunch of people in Springfield, we'll go

(01:43:27):
find the people that we find to be either the
most angry and we can pin racism on them, or
the people who are part of that community who feel
like they've been victimized.

Speaker 16 (01:43:39):
They come in towing them on a rope at night,
things like that. So you know that's not right.

Speaker 13 (01:43:45):
So this isn't the community that you grew up in
or have lived in your whole life, not even close.

Speaker 16 (01:43:51):
The commissioners, attorney general, all this stuff. Most of them
won't call you back. They don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 12 (01:44:00):
The city.

Speaker 16 (01:44:00):
They'll just lie to you, flat out lie to you.
You know, they'll tell you that there's really not a
bad problem here. There's an extremely bad problem here and
it's only getting worse. And I fear what's going to
happen next. Because the people are mad.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
They are and they're frustrated. Put the frustration where it
needs to be from the government, the federal government in particular,
because they're the ones who handle immigration. Your local government
who are probably telling you the whole story of what
is going on and how it is that the town
was chosen. There are plenty of places to put the blame,

(01:44:41):
and yes, personal responsibility needs to absolutely be talked about,
especially when it comes to driving, and assimilation should be expected.
But you can't expect the town to go from fifty
eight thousand to almost eighty thousand in a short period
of time with a vast majority of them uneducated, don't

(01:45:04):
speak English, looking for services, and not have a problem.
That will be ignored though, because Trump said somebody ate

Fronnie with Scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 8 (01:46:28):
This, say.

Speaker 5 (01:46:29):
The ABC News presidential debate starts right now.

Speaker 33 (01:46:32):
Tuesday Night's debate, the first base off between Forum President
Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris outkicked the last
debate between President Joe Biden and Trump. Nielsen says sixty
seven point one million viewers watched on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN,
Box News, and MSNBC, of thirty one percent from the
Biden Trump matchup, which true fifty one point two million viewers.

Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
That's pretty damn good. One of the issues that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
I think a lot of people are starting to recognize
is now that they've turned us into a television show.
Maybe we're not getting the best questions moderators answer, it's
become a show rather than an opportunity to learn about
the candidates.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
Oh, which brings us to this.

Speaker 30 (01:47:18):
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
something stupid.

Speaker 18 (01:47:23):
We'll take stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 12 (01:47:25):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict they're going to do something
incredibly stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
Now you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid little time. You should never underestimize the predictability
of stupidity.

Speaker 18 (01:47:43):
Now it's time for.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Stupid information.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
What are the biggest viewership debates ever? Which ones? What
are the numbers? Mondale Reagan sixty seven point three million,
along with Ducacas Bush and now this debate Carter Ford
almost got seventy million, same thing with Clinton, Bush, Perroh
Clinton and Trump number two got seventy one point six million.

(01:48:13):
Trump Biden first one last time twenty twenty seventy three
point one million, Carter Reagan got eighty point six million,
but the number one most watch presidential debate Clinton Trump
Numero Uno September twenty six, twenty sixteen, eighty four plus

(01:48:34):
million people viewed that ooh three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benton Show, to Twitter,
