Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Israel's gonna come hard, and they're gonna come big. The
question is when, that's the only question. Is it today?
Is it tomorrow? Is it next week? Is it a
targeted big where they're like, look, let's get this on.
Let's go after these Mullahs and the Ayahtola, let's remove

(00:38):
them and then go from there. But last night, Jim
Shudo out there CNN, he's got his phone with him
and there he is in Israel when this happened.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Okay, okay, guys, we got to get off the roof.
These they're coming down right next to us here, they're
coming down just about we gotta.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Go inside.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
A deadly fireworks display over Tel Aviv. Goodness, there was
an impact just to the left of us here.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Two hundred ish ballistic missiles two hundred. I want you
guys to soak that up. This was not a tiny attack.
This was a bigger attack. Apparently Iron wanted to send
a message, which normally they don't like to do. But
net Yea who says you will pay? Oh, you're going
to pay, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
The key issue here is how does Israel response, Does
it calibrate its response, which it did after the last
Uranian assault on Israel back in April. It was a
single attack. It was basically to send a message that yes,
we've responded, everyone's retaliated, no real damage, and it's not
going to escalate further. There's real danger here. We keep

(01:49):
talking about the dangers of escalation in this conflict. Well,
it's already escalated.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, and I've been saying and I'll continue to stand
by it. I think net Yaho wants to make a move.
I think Netan Yahoo wants to say, ef it, let's
go get him. He wants them to do something so
egregious that it forces Israel to make a move. Did

(02:17):
he get that there's two hundred missiles. None got through.
So that's a win. And if that's really what you
sent and that's the best that you got, that can't
be a win for the likes of Iran.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
US Navy destroyers deployed to the Middle East region supported
the defense of Israel by firing approximately a dozen interceptors
against the incoming Iranian missiles.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
So we're involved kind of sorta, which is another big issue.
While he may want to make a move, what is
our move. That's a big deal because they can say, well,
we're all working together, when in reality, we aren't really
doing much as far as we may supply them with

(03:04):
some information, but they're not coordinating with us. They tell
us right before or just after the fact, they don't
trust this administration. I think they think they're feckless and
they're a waste. I can't argue with that at this
point in time. Again, I go back to you can say,
look and I'll get stuff. Oh, you're just being mean

(03:26):
to Biden. I'm just being honest. This guy is these
He's always been wrong on these, and he continues to
be wrong. Not forget those people out there who love
Joe Biden and want to see Putin lose. He told Zelenski,
you need to leave. That was the first weekend YO

(03:46):
should run. He has been wrong on so many of
these right see former Defense Secretary Gates, who worked for
both Republicans and Democrats, have said forty years, this guy's
never been right when it comes to things like this.
How are we going to get drawn in? That's what
I care about, And how are we going to back

(04:08):
our ally, our only ally in the region, our only
democracy in the region. How do we back them when
it gets hot, because I think it is. I think
he vows an attack, and I don't think this is
going to be some you know the last time, right,

(04:29):
remember the last time, because they've you know, they've been
just just picking off, sniping, if you will, Their leaders,
their middle management, whether it's hamas Hesbealah, even inside the
Revolutionary Guard. They have embarrassed Iran on several occasions. And

(04:50):
now the question is how big are they going to go?
Because the last time, right, Because normally how these things
work out, it's pretty simple. They being Iran, have to
look like they've got to do something big. So they
half ass fire some missiles, maybe they hit an outhouse
or something like that, or they kill several sheep and

(05:12):
they claim a great victory for Allah and they all
jump up and down and say, don't mess with us.
And then Israel will blow up a warehouse that makes
supposedly baby formula, and you know who knows what's inside
of there, and that's it, and everybody turns and goes
there other way. I think that's what we're hoping for.

(05:34):
And I think he's not gonna do it. I think
he's gonna come big. I think his plan is let's
push him, let's not stop, let's get this over, let's
get this done with. If it's regime changed, then so
be it. That's what he was talking about the other
night when he was talking to the Iranian people, is
we got to change this. They don't care about you.

(05:57):
They don't want a world of us getting together and
even being cordial. What they want is to be a
death cult. And that's what they're doing. They're pushing the
envelope with Hesbellah, with the hooties, with Hamas, and I
think bebies like screw it. And if the Americans aren't

(06:19):
gonna help, then you guys stay over there and if
you could shoot down some of these missiles, that'd be great.
We'll handle the rest.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
This was a significant attack by Iran, and so we're
going to continue to consult closely and we're going to
continue to support their defense.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, because they're not inviting you to the rest of it.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter tweet at
is texted program. I'm gonna talk a lot about this
today and obviously last night the debate, Jad Vance won.
I mean, if we're gonna sit here and be honest
with ourselves, right, like Jade Vance mopped the floor with him.
It was adult and I don't mean we're adult. I

(06:55):
mean it was adult conversation focused on policy. There was
any sniping, any personal attacks. They came out and said
their thing. I said yesterday. Look, Jady Vance lives for this.
He is comfortable in this situation. And Walls was awful.

(07:20):
The first forty five minutes to an hour, the struggle
was real. He looked like he had seen a ghost,
a deer in the headlight. There is no doubt in
my mind, however, Governor Walls did in terms of sincerity,
that Vance won this debate.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
Jd.

Speaker 8 (07:37):
Vance is much more experienced at this, at public speaking,
at defending himself, at pivoting.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
I think the Walls did seem unsteady, and frankly, what
I saw in Walls is somebody who has not faced
questions on a national stage since he became the Democratic nominee.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
He was simply out of practice.

Speaker 9 (07:55):
I mean, I don't know why they've done it, but
they've kept him out of the limelight. They've kept them
away from reporters. They haven't had him do any interviews,
and he was clearly unsteady through much of that debate.
And in contrast, jd Vance was very smooth. He took
the arguments not to Walls, he was very respectful of Walls,
took it to Kamala Harris.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
It was clear he was not ready tonight. Now he
had some things memorized. But because they have hidden from
the American people and they hide from the press, they
don't know how to elochutes or elaborate on their policies,
and quite frankly, their policies are garbage.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Anyway, he wasn't good. He struggled. It wasn't I think
a game changer in this election the way that a
lot of people like to think it, because we've gone
back and we have the data. The data says this
doesn't move the needle. It may have helped, first of all,

(08:47):
reshape jd Vance. I think to a lot of people
in the public who then look up and go, wait
a minute, you guys, tell me this guy's a nut job.
And it seemed like a nutjob. So much stuff to
go through when it comes to this, But last night,
I mean, it was it was not fair. It was not.
It was just he thumped him. He did, and I
didn't think Walls was awful, but the gap between the

(09:11):
two was tremendous. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three Atchadbenton shows your Twitter tweeted is
text to program. So much stuff to get to the ports.
More stuff with Diddy. My goodness, me power pack show

puts it. Dog food is dead food, and so is catfood.
That's right, because they have mew Greens. Now, let me
tell you a little bit about the supplements that come.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (10:57):
Fourteen of the busiest ports in the US are at
a virtual standstill. None of that cargo is getting on
or off because the people who unload them are on strike,
and this could have ripple effects. More than half of
imports come through these fourteen ports that are now at
a standstill.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Big time. This may be an issue. Nobody's talking about it.
The way that they should be. This is going to
affect every single one of us with higher prices over
the coming weeks and potentially months, depending on how long
this thing goes. And somebody last night hit me up

(11:38):
and said, it's going to be a day or two
before you blame Biden or Harris. I'm like, why would
I blame them? They've got nothing to.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Do with this.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I mean, could Biden potentially go in there and say, hey,
you guys need to get back to work. The hartly
taffed force them to go back to work. We've talked
about that. He could you can force them to go
back to work for ninety days poling off period as
they call it. Why, First of all, I don't think
he really likes Harris that much, so that may benefit Hurt.

(12:06):
But he's got no there's no skin in the game.
This isn't his fault. There's nobody's fault. You've got a
battle here that has everybody's trying to make it. It's
about this. It's about that, you know what it is.
It's about the future. It's not about the billions the
company's making. Yes, some of that, well, these guys are
making billions of dollars, and they should be paying it forward,

(12:26):
et cetera, et cetera. Okay, argue that my got zero
problems with that. Get what you can while you can.
And I say while you can, because the reality is
simply it's coming. You can't stop it. The future, it's coming.
It is coming faster than they want to admit.

Speaker 12 (12:48):
Playing and simple. Machines don't have a family to feed.
Machines aren't hands taxes, Machines aren't spending money in our community.
We've all experienced this inflation where prices have gone up
and up and up.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Wages here at the court not going up and up.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
They've remained staay.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so what Ila is fighting for is a fair
way and I got no problem with that. Fight with
it while you can. But you heard the machines. You
heard automation. This guy, it's about the machines.

Speaker 7 (13:15):
Long Beach.

Speaker 13 (13:16):
They have a terminal one, automated cranes run by themselves,
the trucks run by themselves, ship unloads by itself, the
ship loads by itself. That ain't gonna happen here. We're
concerned about, more than anything is automation. That's really what
the strike's about.

Speaker 7 (13:32):
Last night.

Speaker 13 (13:32):
I heard there was a lot of progress, but they
didn't get there. Why they waited till the last minute.
I have no clue.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Machines the machines you're fighting the future.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
I have a buddy who works cranes in Long Beach
and automation's real. He's like, look, it's here. I couldn't
fight it. But he goes, they didn't get rid of me.
It makes everything a little bit easier. Became more of
a programmer, and what they're called is pilots more than
anything else. He goes, but off the record kind of thing.

(14:05):
As far as I'm not going to tell you who
he is, I am trying to get him on the
show later on this week. He said, facts are, it's better,
it's more efficient, less hassle. Okay, we though don't care.
We care that our stuff might be late, that this

(14:28):
may cause issues in the coming weeks and months, especially
as the holiday season is here. We care about that,
don't get me wrong. And as we all know, you
break it, it takes a while to put it back
together comparatively to building it.

Speaker 11 (14:41):
As we saw during the pandemic. When there are backlogs
in the supply chain, it takes a lot longer to
unwind them than it does to get them clogged in
the first place. So the expectation is that every day
that this strike goes on, it's going to take about
six days to clear the backlog. So even if this
does get resolved relatively quickly, they're there'd be some supply
chain impacts.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
There could be, and all the big box stores recognize this,
and this is where they can pivot where others just can't.
So what do they do. They have their stuff sent
to places like Long Beach and several other places on
the West Coast, and it might cost a little more
to get into where they need to, but they'll get
it there. Plus, they have their own way of handling business.

(15:24):
In many cases, they have their own ships, their own
own areas inside the ports. They have a lot of
things that just a smaller business can't do. And that sucks.
But you're standing in the way of progress. Is the
way people are looking at it on the outside. If
I'm looking at it again, God bless you. I want
you to get as much as possible. But the reality

(15:46):
is is I don't care who unloads the TV. I
don't care what unloads the TV. I don't care. If
it is an actual alien from space, does it get
it done, then I don't care. I don't care who
puts it on the ship on the other side of
the planet. I don't care who builds it. I just

(16:09):
want it here in the day or so. So that's it.
And if it's a robot that does it, great, If
it's you that does it, great. But to think that
you're going to be like, well, we want no automation,
we want I mean, you are becoming the I've got

(16:31):
a horse and buggy and I don't like this combustible
engine and it'll never last and we won't allow it.
The question that should be asked, if you're smart and
you work down there, is how do I get ahead
of it? How do I make it so it benefits me.
It's the future. You're standing on a railroad track and

(16:53):
the freight train is coming and it's picking up steam.
You have two choices. Figure out a way to get
on it and go where it goes, or stand there
and yell at it and see if it stops. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter,
your Instagram. We got more last night's debate. Obviously what's
going on in Israel and Iran? It's not if, but when?

(17:16):
What does that look like. There's also been a blast
in Denmark. We'll touch on that. Is it a terror blast?
Was it an accident? Who knows? We'll talk about that
and so many other things. Reach out to us across
all of our social media. If you're miss any of

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Shown Chad Benson Show, Independent, Independent Life.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Look, there's no doubt JD. Vance won last night. I
had several of you who are Trump haters, can't stand JD.
Vans who said, look, Vance won last night. There was
no doubt about that. You know, Walls did better than
they thought, which is the bar of low expectations we have. Now,

(18:25):
let's be real, we have these bar of low expectations.
Did he survived? He walked out there, said a few things,
the lights were bright, then he walked off stage. Shure,
what do he say? Doesn't matter? He survived. That's the
bar of low expectations. Did this change anything? I mean,
that's what people want to know. Did this change a thing?

(18:47):
Here's what happened last night. Walls looked like he was terrified.
He looked like get Seena Ghost like, oh my god,
this is real, this is happening. We're not taping, this
is real. We can't fix this post. Jade Vance is
comfortable with it, walked out there, did his thing? Was
it perfect? That what he's perfect? For God's sakes? Was

(19:12):
it cordial? Yeah? I tweeted that last night and two
adults having discussions about policy. Was it exciting ne so much?
Because it was two people having a conversation and we're
in a world of let's watch them fight, Let's see
them throw personal things at each other, right, hit below

(19:33):
the belt, start there and we'll go from there. It's
what people want now, it's reality television. And last night
was just one of those things where they came out
and they handled business and and you know, both of them,
I thought, I mean jd Vance changed. I think a
lot of people's minds about, Okay, this guy is not

(19:55):
a nutjob. This guy is slick. We heard that earlier.
Jonathan Carl said, Look, he was smooth because he embraces
these kind of things. He leans into this stuff. This
is where he feels comfortable like you could tell Walls
was not comfortable at all. I mean that first yeah,
forty five minutes to an hour, I mean writing stuff down, terrified.

(20:17):
I mean, he looked like he had seen a ghost
deer in headlights. I mean, it was it was. It
reminded me of if you guys, and I'm gonna go
back away and date myself and I'm apologizing for that.
I'm a kid of the eighties. I remember watching Family
ties Alex P. Keaton, right, Michael J. Fox, He and

(20:41):
his sister and that they went on a game show
and Alex knew all of the answers because he was brilliant.
But the minute the lights came on, he froze. And
she just kind of pepped up up because she was,
you know, justin Bateman was. She was cute and she
she soaked it up and that was kind of her

(21:02):
jam being in front of the camera. It was just
it was. It was a debate that you would have
seen in past years. It might as well filmed it
in black and white. That's that's the way this thing
came off. They asked a lot of questions about everything
from abortion to you know, healthcare, to all this stuff

(21:24):
and January sixth, and it was always from the perspective
of the left. But afterwards you at the usual stuff, right,
you had MSNBC saying, oh, Jade Vance is an idiot.
His technique is to not answer. It makes him, by
the way, the very first vice presidential candidate in history
who doesn't know who won the left? Where did you see?

Speaker 13 (21:52):
But so.

Speaker 14 (21:55):
It came at the end of a long list of
questions that he simply didn't answer.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
He said words, but didn't answer. He didn't answer. How
about abortion?

Speaker 15 (22:05):
We have a big country and it's diverse, and California
has a different viewpoint on this than Georgia. Georgia has
a different viewpoint from Arizona. And the proper way to
handle this is to let voters make these decisions, let
the individual states make their abortion policy. And I think
that's what makes the most sense in a very big,
a very diverse, and let's be honest, sometimes a very

(22:27):
very messy and divided country.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
I thought that was an answer. I mean, he seems
to come straightforward answered it. Let's hear some more.

Speaker 15 (22:34):
My party, we've got to do so much better of
a job at earning the American people's trust back on
this issue where they frankly just don't trust us. And
I think that's one of the things that Donald Trump
and I are endeavoring to do. I want us as
a Republican party to be pro family in the fullest
sense of the word. I want us to support fertility treatments.
I want us to make it easier for moms to

(22:55):
afford to have babies. I wanted to make it easier
for young families to afford a homes so they can
afford a place to raise that family.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
And I think there's so much that we can.

Speaker 15 (23:03):
Do on the public policy front just to give women
more options.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Those seem like pretty decent answers to the questions. Here's
the thing, and this goes for Harris and Walls as
much as it does for Trump. Advance. The best you're
going to do is impress the people in the case
of an emergency, break the glass in the future, or
you might be somebody that may be president in the

(23:30):
future running in four years or eight years whatever. That's
the best you're going to do in this situation because
you're trying to you're trying to answer questions for the
person you're running with. That's what you're trying to do.
You're trying to answer questions for Harris, for Trump. You're

(23:52):
answering questions the way that because you're on the same ticket,
so obviously you guys have similar beliefs, but you're not
giving it the answer maybe that you would give it
you were at the top of the ticket. You're trying
to both answer a question and at times defend a situation.

(24:14):
You're trying to do both of those things. Tim Wall
struggled last night with things like, hmm, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (24:24):
Tianaman Square, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets
are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until
August of that year.

Speaker 10 (24:33):
Can you explain that discrepancy?

Speaker 14 (24:35):
I joined the National Guard at seventeen, my first year out.
I got the opportunity in the summer of eighty nine
to travel to China. I came back home and then
started a program to take young people there. My community
knows who I am, they saw where I was at look.
I will be the first to tell you I have
poured my heart into my community. I've tried to do
the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and

(24:56):
I'm a knucklehead at times.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh Okay, you're a knuckle Okay, our buddy over there
on CNN Lonely Scott Jennings said he's a serial exaggerator,
so Trump a lot of times is right. You know,
I caught a fish with this. I got a great
white shark.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's a bluegill. It didn't change anything. We knew what
was going to happen. They answered some questions policy based,
they didn't fight. I think the most refreshing thing last
night it was cordial. I joke man, Vance Walls crush it.
Can I just say this though, And we're going to
get into this a little bit more next hour because
we'll have more of this stuff. And yeah, I'm sure

(25:34):
some of you watch it. You're waiting to hear the clips.
It's it was what it was. Kamala should be thankful
she's not facing Vance. Vance woodied her alive. I've heard
from several polsters and Democratic people that we talk, they

(25:57):
send me stuff who've said if it was Vance, he'd
be up by ten points. Absolutely. I agree one hundred
percent on that one. And I'm not going to sit
here and belittle Tim Walls. I'm not one of those
people this. Oh he's in me. He's a guy who

(26:18):
is an aw shucks guy. This moment was big, it
was bright the lights. Some people don't do well in
that situation, and he struggled and it was evident. I
think he did a little bit better than towards the end.
But this last night was about Vance, and Vance did
everything he needed to do. He could show he could
be good cop. He showed he could add a steadying,

(26:43):
reasonable conservative behind Trump, which I think a lot of
people are looking for, especially those independents. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at chadventson show.
Is your Twitter? Tweet at us, text the program, Love
him from all of you. More of this next hour,
a lot of other stuff. We're gonna talk Diddy here
to me because man did he well? I think we
know he did, but wait to hear about how many

(27:05):
cases are coming up now? It's it's a lot. And
when I mean a lot, I mean a lot. And
the amount of cases potentially behind Oh my god. I'm
surprised this guy had time to make music. That's all
I'm saying. Board Capital, my buddy's over there. Zach Abramchie,
investment officer at Bull Capital, Want you to know they're

(27:26):
there for you if you're ever looking for a second opinion.
That's what I call They call it a risk review.
So who doesn't want a second opinion, especially in anything
in life that's important. You would like to make sure
that you're doing it right. And for many of us,
we have no idea what's going on in our account.
We get a statement, we look into that. With Bulwark,
they'll walk you through your account, see what you're up
to as far as where are you at risk, where

(27:47):
are you underutilizing the capital or maybe putting yourself in

Speaker 7 (29:10):
A hashtag me too?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help, I'm trapped in a hashtag
factory and I can't get out The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 16 (29:19):
John Amos starred as the Dad James Evan Senior on
the iconic Norman Lear of seventy sitcom Good Time.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
I'm No Manness, Holf Not bring Home the.

Speaker 16 (29:26):
Baker, but he often clashed with the all white writers room,
who he felt didn't always understand the black experience, telling
Vlad TV a couple of years ago, like.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I said, I wasn't the most diplomatic guy, so very
often it would me saying, well, let's go outside.

Speaker 16 (29:39):
Amos was fired from the show, but the next year
he'd get an Emmy nomination for his role in the
acclaimed miniseries Roots. He also played Eddie Murphy's burger bosson
Coming to America, Admiral Fitzwallace on the West Wing, and
he had at least three projects in the works.

Speaker 17 (29:51):
When he died.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
John Amos was eighty four. Yeah, I know, Mike, that
guy was awesome. He was. I loved coming to America.
They're the Big Mac, We're the Big Mick. Yes, we
have to all be batty special sauce, lettuce, cheese, oh man,

(30:17):
good times. There's a perfect example of you go back
and you look at those seventy shows, whether it was
anything normally or created back then. I mean All in
the Family obviously couldn't get made today unless it was
a cartoon, because oddly enough, we'll allow cartoons to get
away with things that regular television shows can't get away
with unless it's on FX or something like that. Then

(30:40):
we'll be like, yeah, it's fine, but he You know,
that entire show Good Times took on a real world
look at what it was like being a black family
in America, and we didn't know what was going on

(31:01):
behind the scenes the white writers, this, that and the other.
But it was definitely something that you know, we had
never seen. Same thing with the Jeffersons, right they moved
on up And I remember watching those shows Sandford and Son,
Chico and The Man, and it just shows that you
look at and you're like, wow, okay, we do those
shows today. I don't know if we could. I don't
think we could do. You remember when he had Black Jesus,

(31:26):
put Black Jesus up and he was winning all the
pool and he would to be a hustler again. Oh
that was Those episodes were great. Dinah might indeed not
having a good time? Is this character?

Speaker 18 (31:36):
Diddy Sean Diddy Combs major new allegations today of sexual
assault and exploitation by Combs. For the first time, we
were hearing about victims who say they were miners when
they were allegedly assaulted by the music star, the youngest
allegedly just nine years old. The allegations were revealed today
by attorneys representing more than one hundred alleged victims were
preparing to sue.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
You think and from what I understand, and we'll get
to some of mister Busby here in a second. Who
is the attorney that's bringing this. There are potentially thirty
two hundred plaintiffs and witnesses that they are sifting through.
It's about one hundred and twenty now, including kids.

Speaker 19 (32:21):
When we talk about the ages of the victims when
the conduct occurred, it's shocking. Our youngest victim at the
time of the occurrence was nine years old. We have
an individual who was fourteen years old. We have one
who is fifteen. Twenty five of the one hundred and
twenty individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were miners

(32:42):
at the time of the acts complained of. The timeframe
of the acts complained of is very wide. The conduct
that issue spans from the year's nineteen ninety one all
the way till this year twenty twenty four. If you
wonder why there are so many alleged victims, that's your answer.
We're talking about more than twenty five years of this
type of conduct.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
He also went on to talk about safety and numbers,
and we've talked about that. That first person that makes
that move in a situation like this and it gets
blown out by somebody who's powerful sends a message to
everybody else. If you come, I will get you. But
the noise didn't start out as noise. It started out

(33:24):
as whispers. Then it grew to a conversation, then it
grew to a little bit of noise, and now it's
at shouting. So it started as one and then grew
to many, which gave everybody else the opportunity to feel
comfortable enough to come forward. You know, his attorney, they

(33:45):
were talking about the the lube stuff and all of this,
you know, the baby oil and stuff like that, and
he's tried to go well, you know, he lives next
to a Costco Americans buy in bulk. Dude, your guy,
and I get it right, you're getting paid a ton
of money to try to defend the abhorrent, right like
the stuff that is in some of these videos. And
we have yet to really I think, get the tip

(34:08):
of the iceberg, because from what I understand now I
got a buddy over it to the TMZ world said
that they are shopping around several videos for the highest bidder,
and there are several celebrities who some maybe not doing
nice things, others in very compromising positions. This is going

(34:30):
to be like whatever we think about the Epstein world.
As far as the amount this is going to blow that,
I think out of the water.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
And it is.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I mean, he is a vile individual. How long he
survives in jail, especially if they prove stuff with kids
is going to be it's jail, right, like you do
things to kids, you do things to women. Prisoners don't
like those kind of things. And up happening. We're you slip,

(35:02):
you fall, stuff like that, and I say good riddance
to bad rubbish. Who's with me? Huh? I mean r Kelly.
We thought he was horrific, which he was. Did he
is making him look like nothing. He's never getting out
of jail again. He is never and should he ever
get out of jail, and he's ninety five, he's not
gonna have a penny to his name. He is going

(35:23):
to be sued to the point where he is he
may die because of all the lawsuits crumble under it
as young as nine? What a pos? Three two three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Mentacchell
to Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. A
lot of stuff still to get to. Obviously, more on

(35:43):
last night's debate. What's going on in Iran? What is
going on with you know, the next move by not
just Israel but us? And how do we play into
this as well? Which I think is the question that
we're asking ourselves at this moment in time, because we
know Israel it's gonna do Israel things.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
What are we going to do?

Speaker 2 (36:04):
How do we respond with them? Are we just passive
players in this situation that could explode at any moment.
It's possible. Three two three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three Missing the show grabbed the podcast Chad Benson Show.

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

(36:49):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Other shows will just play you the boring old highlights.
Last night, I mash it up with a little bit
of old school yacht rock and Dave may we just disagree.

Speaker 15 (37:02):
We have a big country and it's diverse, and California
has a different viewpoint on this than Georgia. Georgia has
a different viewpoint from Arizona. And the proper way to
handle this is to let voters make these decisions, let
the individual states make their abortion policy.

Speaker 14 (37:18):
Say that your life and your rights, as basic as
the right to control your own body, is determined on geography.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
That's why the restoration of ROVERSUS way.

Speaker 15 (37:28):
So first of all, Margaret, before we talk about deportations,
we have to stop the bleeding. We have a historic
immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she
wanted to undo all of Donald Trump's border policies, ninety
four executive orders, suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens, massively increasing
the asylum faud that exists in our system.

Speaker 14 (37:49):
Donald Trump had four years, get four years to do this,
and he promised you, America, how easy it would be.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
I'll build you a big, beautiful wall in Mexico will
pay for it.

Speaker 14 (37:58):
Less than two percent of that all got built, and
Mexico didn't pay a dime. Now, the thing I'm most
concerned about is the idea that imprisoning your political opponents
already laying the groundwork for people not accepting this, and
a president's words matter.

Speaker 15 (38:11):
It's really rich for democratic leaders to say that Donald
Trump is a unique threat to democracy when he peacefully
gave over power on January the twentieth.

Speaker 14 (38:20):
It's those that were closest to Donald Trump that understand
how dangerous he is. When the world is this dangerous,
I've tried to do the best I can, but I've
not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
And fuck, thank you, thank you that I appreciate that.
Thank you. Anytime I get yacht rock in, I think
it's a win. And by the way, I didn't know
what they were saying, because I'm like, damn, I just

(38:52):
love Dave Mason and we just disagree with a hell
of a song. Last night went the way it went.
Did anything, Jane? Now, I think both of them, you know,
did what they needed to do. There's no doubt that jd.
Vance mopped the floor when it came to style, smoothness,
the way that he presented himself his arguments. That was easy.

(39:17):
Eventually Walls got his sea legs, but by then most
people had checked out, but he didn't. But Vance ran
circles around him. Okay, does it change anything. Here's the thing,
everybody needs. And this is the one thing I said
about Mike Pence. Trump is the wild card right now.
He's that dude, He's the wild card. He's all the

(39:40):
things you need somebody behind them. That's a steadying influence.
Mike Pence gave Trump that. Vance I think gave Trump
that last night. For a lot of people that maybe
were undecided, thought, okay, you know what this guy. You know,

(40:03):
the perception of him is he's a nut job and
all these things, and he didn't come across that way.
He equated himself rather well, he's you know, I've said
this for a while, he's Ted Cruz. See Ted always
knows he's the smartest cat in the room and he

(40:23):
wants everybody to know that. On the other side of it,
JD is probably the smartest guy in the room for
the most part, and he doesn't care if you know
that or not, and he doesn't want to advertise that.
So it was the win last night for JD. Vance.
It was also a win for a little civility because
they were civil to each other. There were times when

(40:44):
they're like, look, we agree with each other on these things,
we just disagree how we should have handled them. Okay,
that's fair. I'm good with that. But do I think
anything really is going to change. I don't this is
going to because, as I talked about it last hour,

(41:05):
you were arguing for somebody's point of view and you're
also trying to defend somebody's point of view or action.
So that's a weird thing to do. Try doing that today.
Try arguing somebody else's point of view that's not there,
and then defend an action that maybe they did that

(41:27):
you're you're not thrilled with, and maybe you disagree with
it and you have to defend it. That's a tough thing.
But I think you know, I mean jd Vance again,
he won. You need the steadying influence. And for jd
Vance the one thing that you could say would have
been the same thing if Biden would have still been running.
You would pay more attention to this based on the

(41:49):
age thing. Now, I don't think Donald Trump's going away
anytime soon. But when you look at the actuaries, the
table might say there's a chance, right maybe, cause it's
just it's a chance. He's already lived past the average
male adult life in this country. So you would say, okay,

(42:11):
could this guy handle the position man, Walls is way
more likable than her, and I had several Democratic pals
reach out to me and go, man, he is way
more likable than her. He was terrified. Let's be real.

Speaker 17 (42:27):
He was just.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Terrified. You could see that. He's like looking at the cameras,
eyes are biggings one of these things. Oh oh my god.
He was absolutely terrified. They got to sea legs later on.
But we watch for the first thirty minutes, and once
anybody wasn't screaming, yelling or throwing things at each other,
then yet how people are like, okay, there whatever, and
you moved on. So we'll see if there's any bounce

(42:53):
in any of this. I think JD had more to
lose and more to gain, and I think he gained it.
And I think if if you liked Tim Walls before
last night, you still like him. And if you didn't
have any feelings about him, you may not like his politics,
but you think, ah shucks kind of guy, and we
move on with our lives. Speaking of moving on, let's

(43:14):
move on to the real issue at hand. Right this
moment in time, what is happening in Israel and the
potential for I don't know World War III.

Speaker 20 (43:22):
The US Navy said that two destroyers knocked some of
those missiles out of the sky, but one of those
missiles hit in a school south of Tel Aviv.

Speaker 17 (43:30):
Another punched the.

Speaker 20 (43:31):
Crater in the street near the Israeli intelligence headquarters here.
At least one person killed, a Palestinian man in the
West Bank.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, there was also a terror attack earlier in the
evening in Jaffar that killed seven wounded I think fifteen.
That was horrific. But they rained about two hundred missiles
down on Israel.

Speaker 20 (44:00):
And the question is an if, But when the Israeli
military is going to present the government with a menu
of options that I'm told is very very likely to
include attacking Iranian military installations but also possibly its energy sector.
It really depends on how far the Israeli government wants
to take this, and a reprisal might not be immediate

(44:20):
or in the midst of the Jewish New Year, the
biggest holiday of the year here, and the Israeli government
is going to want to consult with the US government
before taking action.

Speaker 17 (44:30):
Are they.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
See I don't think they are. I think anything they
consult with and they don't get the answer they want
they're going to continue to move in the direction they
want to move. I've been saying this for several days now.
I believe wholeheartedly that bb Net and Yahoo is pushing
Iran into doing something so heinous as to give Israel

(44:56):
no other choice but toly go after Iran in a
way we've never seen.

Speaker 7 (45:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Back in April, it was hey, you know what, take
your wind, go home. Everybody fired their missiles. I don't
think Bibi Netanyahu wants that. I think he wants to
send a message and potentially get Ayatola and to say, hey,
we're done with this. We're not going to be in
a situation where we're terrified all the time. We're not

(45:25):
going to be in a situation where we have sirens
going off twenty four to seven because everybody around us
wants to blow us up. I was watching a report
yesterday and the guy's like, Eh, you know, these alarms
go off all the time. The Israeli people are very
sanguine about this. I'm like, my god, that's insane, the
fact that that goes off all the time, and you're

(45:47):
just like eh. I think they're over it, and I
think he's pushing for more three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three At you had Benton Show's

Speaker 10 (47:03):
You're listening to the Chad Benson show.

Speaker 21 (47:06):
More than one hundred and sixty deaths across six states
are now blamed on the storm. Hundreds of people are
unaccounted for. It comes as we learn more about the
people swept away by the floodwaters.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
I thought we were okay still.

Speaker 22 (47:21):
Until the house broke.

Speaker 21 (47:22):
Apart, Megan Dry told Fox Weather's a roof of their
house collapsed, her parents and seven year old son drowned.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Awful, absolutely awful. Currently I'm traveling, I'm out here in Tennessee,
and there's issues here. It is as we've talked about,
if you've not seen them before and after pictures in
some of these areas, it is crazy and it shows you,
like you know, we joke about the nature will mess
you up because you know there's a panda bear that

(47:52):
you know rides a bicycle and then you know, attack somebody.
This is just what nature though, the real face of
what nature can do when nature wants to.

Speaker 21 (48:01):
In Tennessee, a public health emergency now declared. Disaster response
teams rushing to provide medical care, but the governor says
volunteers are helping the most.

Speaker 23 (48:11):
There's water, there's diverster's food, there are shelters set up
hot meals being delivered.

Speaker 21 (48:17):
Some senators are calling for Congress to reconvene to approve
more relief funds.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
I don't think that's going to happen. I don't I
think was it Senator Graham said, yeah, we're not coming
back early for this, which is frustrating to say the least.
Last night, this became an issue, right, the climate change
became an issue, and what pissed me off, And I
tweeted this out and several people hit me up. The

(48:43):
first of all, when we talk about climate change and
we talk about all of the things that you know,
it's become a political issue, which shouldn't be. It shouldn't
We should all want clean air and water, and you
can't have eight billion people on the planet and not
think it's going to have some sort of effect on
the planet. That being said, my frustration with the way
that CBS asked all the questions last night. Even some

(49:03):
of you who are liberally go, yeah, I can see
your point there. Everything was stated as if it was fact.

Speaker 7 (49:08):
Right.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Climate change is one of those things. And on top
of that, it always comes from the left's perspective. It
never comes from the rights perspective. Everything comes from the
left's perspective last night made the same kind of thing
with climate change. Is jad's jd Vance's answer on climate and.

Speaker 15 (49:26):
No, or are you asked about climate change? I think
this is a very important issue. Look, a lot of
people are justifiably worried about all these crazy weather patterns.
I think it's important for us, first of all, to
say Donald Trump and I support clean air, clean water.
We want the environment to be cleaner and safer. But
one of the things that I've noticed some of our
Democratic friends talking a lot about is a concern about
carbon emissions. This idea that carbon emissions drives all of

(49:48):
the climate change. Well, let's just say that's true, just
for the sake of arguments that we're not arguing about
weird science. Let's just say that's true. Well, if you
believe that, what would you want to do. The answer
is that you'd want to reach shore as much American
manufacturing as possible, and you'd want to produce as much
energy as possible in the United States of America because
we're the cleanest economy in the entire world. What hath

(50:10):
Kamala Harris's policies actually led to more energy production in
China more manufacturing overseas, more doing business than some of
the dirtiest parts of the entire world. And when I
say that, I mean the amount of carbon emissions they're
doing per unit of economic out It's.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
One of the things we've always talked about here. We
can go and do all the things that all the
people in the green world want us to do. Right,
we can go out there and we could drive and
get the zero net zero. It's amazing. We could do
all of the stuff. If India, Africa, China don't do anything,

(50:46):
doesn't matter. It's all lip service, which is what a
lot of politics is in today's world. We expect if
we sign a piece of paper with everybody else, hey,
we're going to do these things that the rest of
the world. Well, when they sign it, they mean it,
and they don't mean it. They mean it looks good.
It's what virtue signaling is all about. But in reality,
they're not changing anything. Chinese is not going to hamstring

(51:08):
their economy because you think it's gonna get one or
two degrees warmer. And by the way, when we talk
about like even you know, the death toll here, which
is horrific. When we talk about hurricanes, and things of
this nature. Remember one hundred years ago, one hundred and
twenty years ago, one hundred and thirty years ago, nobody

(51:29):
lived in a vast majority of these places the way
they do now. So a lot of it is dollar
figures that people talk about when it's like, well, this
damage has never been bigger. Of course it's dollar figures.
But you can go back and look at massive storms
throughout history and the damage it did and the people
it killed. Even though the storms are big, less people
are dying, but the damage is bigger because life is

(51:51):
more expensive and there are more people that live in
these areas. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter
tweet at as text the program? I you know, look,
last night was good. It was really good. If you
are jd Vance, I think you put yourself in a
position where you're like, look, he picked me for a reason.

(52:12):
He did a hell of a job, Tim Walls, he
looked like a deer in headlights that first forty five
minutes to an hour. And let's be real, most people
watch these things for about thirty minutes maybe an hour.
They don't see you get better and your feet underneath you.
At the end, they don't. Jd Vance smoked him. Tim
Walls came across as very likable, but he was totally nervous.

(52:35):
You could see that, and a lot of you were
pointing out, even people who support Harris and Walls, you've
got to admit the dude was on the struggle bus
from Jump. He looked like he had seen a ghost.
His eyes were wide open. Right, It's like, oh my god,
oh my god. He struggled big time, but he came

(52:57):
across as likable. The thing, though, as we've talked about
throughout the show, cordial policy based. That was interesting, but
a lot of you said it's boring, sucks, it's no fireworks,
and it goes back to this thing we have talked about,
we've turned politics into reality television. People aren't interested in

(53:21):
policy anymore. Policy is boring. They want the fights, they
want the arguments. They want to see people essentially go
at it and throw their best mic drop stuff down.
They're not interested in whether or not you can debate
the merits of tariffs, or if you can debate what

(53:46):
we should do on immigration, unless you're gonna throw in
some sort of cat thing which, by the way, there
was no cat questions. I tweeted that out. I was
waiting for a cat question last night, and God bless them,
they didn't ask one three, two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three. Chad Benson Show is your
Twitter tweet out his text the program I love hearing
from all of you. A lot of stuff to get to.
It is Wednesday. We'll do some woke stuff as well.
It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Shown, Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 10 (54:36):
This is Chad Benson. As many of you though.

Speaker 21 (54:38):
I had a boar boar earlier this year, not only
because I don't want children right now, but what.

Speaker 10 (54:43):
Another real reason I already have a baby.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
It's this one right here. That's a dog.

Speaker 21 (54:50):
He caught me a lot of time and energy and money.

Speaker 10 (54:54):
And if I had to choose between a human baby's needs.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
In this one, I'm choosing this one every time. That's
why this fault.

Speaker 10 (55:02):
There's only one candidate producting our reproductive freedoms.

Speaker 21 (55:05):
And if she doesn't win, don't make me choose between
a human baby and this one, because this one wins
every freaking time.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Don't make me choose between being responsible and bikini season. Well,
what is that supposed to mean? Lady? You're on TikTok.
You got a nice house, right, you're capable of taking
care of your dog, and you had an abortion because

(55:36):
you're irresponsible. It's not very nice. Yet. No, it's a
fair question right there. It's a fair question. It was
the heat of the moment fell in love. So couldn't
with the morning after pill. You couldn't get the pill.

(55:56):
You can do all the just explain to me why
and to celebrate of it. That's it's not a helper,
right there. I hadn't a bora bora Like it was
a big deal. It was cocktail and baby killing, that's
what it was. I just remember there was like I

(56:22):
mean as a kid growing up, there were some things
she's never talked about. Right, if somebody had an abortion,
I was like, you never you never ain't talked about that,
Like you didn't even know wasn't celebrated, Right, if somebody
had cancer, there's his selling. So it was the biggest
sea Like what never asked anybody about their money or
anything like that. I mean, it's just something she's never
talked about. And and and there was a certain you know,

(56:44):
like shame or I didn't take a responsibility, not anymore.
It's like I had a bora boar. It's no big deal,
a little my tie, little fun, just insane. Speaking of insane,
I don't know if you guys are aware of this.
Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. Did you know that
Hollywood is full of nothing but right wingers?

Speaker 24 (57:07):
Shazam star Zachary Levi says he's aware of the consequences
he faces over going MAGA.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Take a look in my industry.

Speaker 12 (57:16):
As you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very, very
liberal town, and this very well could constitute career suicide.

Speaker 24 (57:22):
Okay, that's not necessarily true. From the beginning of Hollywood,
there have been it's always been a very right leaning town.
But I know you don't know much about the Hollywood history,
so let me school you.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Okay, we'll be school us. It's a very right leaning town.
It's not left, no left at all. Here's she goes, uh.

Speaker 23 (57:43):
Oh.

Speaker 24 (57:44):
We are like America as we're mixed. We're a mixed bunch.
And sometimes it may seem like there's more Democrats and
sometimes it seems like there's more Republicans. But the truth
of the matter is very few people seem to because
they're Republican John Voight who is working, Dennis Quaid.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Who is working people who weren't to stop that.

Speaker 24 (58:09):
It's morem bs and it's unnecessary.

Speaker 17 (58:14):
Wow. That is uh.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
And by the way, you have named several people that
are established stars. I want you to know that you've
named several people that are established already. John Voight's established,

(58:37):
Dennis Quaid is established. And in Hollywood people think Dennis
Quaid is a bit of a quack compared to his
brother Randy, who is actually a quack. But he is
cousin Eddie. He doesn't make me laugh. So you know
the Clint Eastwoods. You're talking about people that are already
major stars. They're established, people know them their box office,

(59:01):
so they're they're fine. What about the up and comer
who has a differing opinion. I do a lot of
stuff with Hollywood. I will tell you this right now.
My uncle and I talk about all the time we'll
keep our opinions to ourselves because you have to. And

(59:23):
I have seen it doing cartoon work or being told
that we don't want to work with you because we
don't like who you are politically I'm like, go, okay,
that's nice. I mean, it's so don't tell me. Oh yeah,
you know seventy years ago this place was pretty right wing.
Well those people are all dead now, so I'm gonna

(59:44):
go with a hot no on that got a phone
call earlier. You know, you guys can leave a message
whenever you want. You call three two three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benton show, at your Twitter,
your Instagram, all the other things. We'll get some of
your tweets. It's been a few days and I told
you guys this. I had to have an emergency like
jaw thing done the procedure the other day, and we're

(01:00:05):
out here. We're traveling and found a place. Doctor was
awesome and they took care of everything. So I've not
been like firing on all cylinders over Alaska. I feel
a thousand times better, but it did suck. So I'm
trying to answer as many texts and stuff. Well, we
got some calls and this person very excited.

Speaker 17 (01:00:27):
You're terrible people.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Now, when you say terrible people, my assumption is all
of us. Who are all of us? Who are the people?
And why are you mad? There was no real, that
was just somebody you wanted to be angry. I get
a lot of that. Another regular text in it says, Chad, yesterday,
when you were talking about let's just say it was

(01:00:50):
two percent of people that have come here illegally that
have broken the law, you said it was two hundred thousand.
You're an idiot because two percent on a million, it's
twenty thousand. Well I said ten million, not a million.
So I just want to point that out there. Okay, God,

(01:01:12):
you know, we've always the things that you say in
this business, in particular because you're listening in a situation
where there are things you want to hear, so you
automatically come into any conversation with somebody who may have
a different opinion with I'm looking to find a hole
in any argument, whether it's hey, it's a beautiful day
today and you you're just you have this bias already

(01:01:35):
built up. And I get that on the text, Like
last night, I got somebody said, well, I'm sure you're
gonna blame this whole strike on Biden, and I'm like,
what where did you get that? I haven't. I didn't
say you had, I said you will, Like not even
part of a conversation. But they're looking to like they're like,
I got to make a point here, and you get

(01:01:57):
a lot of that stuff in this business, which I'm
totally fine with. I mean, you can hate me all
you want. I got to bromb and again, I will
always defend your right to have a disdain for me
one percent. I got no problem with that. But at
least be genuine about it and try to get some
of it right. That's all I'm saying. Three two, three,

(01:02:17):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson, Joe to Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things. There is a
race where we thirty four days away from the election.
Some of you may be voting now.

Speaker 25 (01:02:26):
Coin flip, it is looking like a race that could
potentially be decided by one state. There's always a tipping
point state, whether it's a close election or a landslide.
But the situation we have here is that the election
looks very close, and so there is a possibility about
a one in eight shot that this election could come
down to one state. Based on five thirty eight's presidential forecast,

(01:02:49):
it gives Harris essentially a very slight edge, but the
kind of edge where I think it is best described
as still being something of a coin flip.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Coin flip. That's what they're thinking. It's a quick I
feel that way too. I was talking to a couple
of people yesterday or political pondents. I'm like, man, some
days I feel like it is going to be Trump.
Other days I feel like it's going to be Harris.
Other days I feel like it is going to be
a blowout. Either way, it really it's it's it's going
to be tight. I think we know that either way

(01:03:20):
it's going to be tight. So if both sides think
there's going to be massive blowouts, I would be surprised,
although you never know. There could be another October surprise
coming three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show to your Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other things. By the way, kind words
because at the beginning of it, and we'll play it
next hour, it's the mash up with Dave Mason yacht Rock.

(01:03:41):
We just disagree with a bunch of the U soundbites
from last night. If you will's talk about roughgreens, ruff
greens dot com, slash Chad, vitamins and minerals probiotics and
make a three six nine all of this incredible stuff
power packed with an amazing supplement. This amazing supplement is
full of things like vitamins, minerals, probiotics. Make a three

(01:04:04):
six nine all of this incredible stuff, including things like
sweet potato, BlackBerry spinach. Why is that? Because it's about
helping your animals. And I say animals because it's not
just about dogs anymore. There are cats as well, So
they have me outgreens and rough greens. We all know brown.
There's no nutrition there with green. There is doctor Dennis Black,

(01:04:25):
naturopathic doctor of Roughgreens, guy who formulated this put this together,
wants you to try it. In fact, he believes in
it so much he's willing to send you a Jumpstart
trial bag for free. All he asked you to do
is cover the cost of shipping. It is that simple.
You can do this by going to ruff greens dot
com slash Chad today or call eight eight eight ninety
my dog Now. When you go there, they'll give you

(01:04:46):
a chance to get me Outgreens roughgreens are both.

Speaker 17 (01:04:48):
Choose both.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Man, you've got a cat, maybe you got a dog,
going to make sure they're healthy this is going to
help them. Roughgreens dot com slash Chadroughgreens dot com slash Chad.
Lot of stuff to get to here. Still, are you
ready for it?

Speaker 7 (01:05:00):
I know you are.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (01:05:14):
Irreverence, Like, yeah, so what, it's the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (01:05:19):
Fourteen of the busiest ports in the US are at
a virtual standstill. None of that cargo is getting on
or off because the people who unload them are on strike,
and this could have ripple effects. More than half of
imports come through these fourteen ports that are now at
a standstill.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Okay, let's get serious about this for a second. Could
this have an effect on the holiday season? Yes, this
is a big deal. It's not sexy. She said the
word people. That's important because that's what this is all about.
People versus machines.

Speaker 13 (01:05:57):
Long Beach have a terminal hundred percent automated cranes run
by themselves, the trucks run by themselves.

Speaker 7 (01:06:04):
Ship unloads by itself, the ship loads by itself.

Speaker 13 (01:06:08):
That ain't gonna happen here. But we're concerned about more
than anything is automation. That's really what the strike's about.
Last night I heard there was a lot of progress,
but they didn't get there. Why they waited till the
last minute?

Speaker 7 (01:06:19):
I have no clue.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Do you care that your stuff is being unloaded in
Long Beach by a machine?

Speaker 7 (01:06:24):
You do not.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
You don't care. In fact, you didn't even know. And
this is called progress. I know it sucks right like
because I mean, just all you have to do is
just listen to them. It's machines Long Beach.

Speaker 13 (01:06:41):
They have a terminal one hundred percent automated cranes run
by themselves, The trucks run by themselves.

Speaker 7 (01:06:47):
Ship unloads by itself, the ship loads by itself. That
ain't gonna happen here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Why isn't going to happen here? Why you're worried about machines.
You're worried about them taking your jobs? I get that,
totally understandable. I've got no problem with that. But it works.
I have a buddy who works at Long Beach, has

(01:07:14):
been there. He and his family have basically been operators
of the big cranes, the pilots they call them, for years.
Still there, they still operate the You know, it's let's
be real, right, this is technology. This is an advancement
in the world. This is what it looks like. And

(01:07:36):
you could be frustrated, you could be pissed, but you're
standing on a track as the freight train of progress
comes towards you, and you can either figure out if
you can get on it and use it to your advantage,
or stand in its way and yell at it and
see if it changes. It's not going to change, right,

(01:07:57):
this is it. And you can sit there and say, well,
it isn't gonna happen here. We're not gonna let machines
do anything that is that isn't gonna happen.

Speaker 7 (01:08:06):
But we're concerned about more than anything is automation. That's
really what the strike's about.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
You're concerned about the future sucks, but it's here. How
do you put it to work for you? That's the thing. See,
the thing is everybody's terrified of what's coming right AI,
this and this that it's been here. Automation has been
here forever in a day. It's just gotten to the

(01:08:35):
point now where it is it's advancing at such a pace.
We talked about it earlier this week a year ago. Right,
because I've been big on AI. Everybody always yeah, new judge,
and this wacky AI stuff, and now he's like, oh
my god, he was talking about this thing forever because
we've used it, We've seen the the it grow. We
were able to get into some of the first chat
GBT beta testing Michael and I and it has gone

(01:08:59):
from essentially elementary to PhD in a year and it's
gonna get better. The issue, and this is the issue
that there's two issues. Right. Everybody's terrified that it's going
to take over the world. Maybe I'm not going to
say that's not going to happen, all right, So I'm

(01:09:21):
not saying for the one hundred percent certainty that it
won't eventually flip the script because I know there is
one issue that's not being talked about.

Speaker 17 (01:09:29):
That there is.

Speaker 26 (01:09:32):
A game.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
That two ais are playing and now they've decided to
create their own language, so nobody knows what they're talking about,
which is a little disturbing, but it is here. And
the big issue is everybody has gotten to the point
where they feel like they're going to be replaced. We
need humans, we do, but there are so many things now.

(01:09:55):
I mean, you fly, if you've been on an airplane,
who do you think flies that will they have a
pilot they do. They have a pilot. Do you think
that pilot sits in the chair and just holds onto it. No,
it's automation. They have an autopilot. You can't stand in
the way of progress, but if you figure out how

(01:10:16):
to use progress for yourself, it's going to be better.
And they're holding up this because they still want to
live like they've got a horse and buggy and they're
sick and tired of this new fangled, you know, combustible engine,
and they're striking while the iron's hot.

Speaker 17 (01:10:34):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
But even if you go when you sign a contract,
others are going to figure out a way around it.
They're going to figure out a way to automate stuff.
They're going to slowly but surely phase people out. Somebody retires,
they're not going to bring it back in. That's just
the way it's going to happen, and the people that
can adapt will succeed. Now, in the short term, even

(01:10:59):
one day, is this.

Speaker 11 (01:10:59):
R As we saw during the pandemic, When there are
backlogs in the supply chain, it takes a lot longer
to unwind them than it does to get them clogged
in the first place. So the expectation is that every
day that this strike goes on, it's going to take
about six days to clear the backlog. So even if
this does get resolved relatively quickly, there could be some
supply chain impacts.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
There could be, and it really depends. If you're going
to a big box store, which a lot of us do,
especially in certain times of the year, they are in
a much better position than a lot of the small
stores and the mom and pop shops and even medium
sized businesses.

Speaker 26 (01:11:36):
Ahead of this strike, we have already seen major retailers
like Walmart and Costco divert some of their shipments to
ports on the West Coast to avoid shortages during the holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
The issue is going to be the cost, because it's
going to cost more to get to certain places, and
how long is this going to last in a sense
that Okay, yeah, you can divert it now and you've
thought about that, and you can start sending ships there

(01:12:07):
who are bringing stuff now. But if this thing goes
on and on and on, it's only so much you're
gonna be able to do before that supply chain finally
gives out, because they're going to get a backlog in
Long Beach and other places. So and as we all know,
like they say, rebuilding it is way harder than tearing

(01:12:27):
it down. I mean, if you've ever if you've ever
got a room ready to paint, takes forever. But the
minui you want to tear it down, it takes two minutes.
Same kind of thing here. Building a backup is going
to take a while three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson, hurl it's
your Twitter. We go, well, what's trending coming out in
the next hour, as well as more on the debate,

(01:12:47):
what's going on with Israel in the Iran, a lot
of other stuff you miss any show, grab the podcast
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 10 (01:13:23):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 9 (01:13:25):
I think the walls did seem unsteady, and frankly, what
I saw in Walls is somebody who has not faced
questions on a national stage.

Speaker 7 (01:13:33):
JD.

Speaker 9 (01:13:33):
Vance was very smooth. He took the arguments not to walls,
he was very respectful of walls. Took it to Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
Smooth operator. Indeed, one of them looked like he was well.
He'd seen a ghost. Maybe he was a deer in
headlights and we know who that was. Tim Walls joining
us now, Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research.
He joins us after all the debates and all the
big political stuff, Jim, you text me five minutes into
it last night, he goes, Walls looks terrified. He did
look terrified. He got his sea legs later. But nobody

(01:14:03):
pays attention outside of the nut jobs like you and
I watching the whole thing. But he was definitely he
was overmatched last night. There was no doubt about that.

Speaker 17 (01:14:12):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:14:13):
I mean I know they'd set up some stuff where
they're trying to lower the bar for him towards like well,
you know, you know, Vance is an expert and Waltz is,
you know, just a local guy and stuff like that.
But it turned out, Yeah, he looked really nervous in
the first answer. I mean, you know, he's on the
national stage for the first time, the tensions all on him.
He knows not to screw up. They also know that
it's a vice presidential debate and they generally rarely change anything.

(01:14:35):
But still, I'm sure the guy, you know, it's the
first time he'd ever been on the national stage and
wasn't quite ready for prime time. But yeah, you're right,
he did get his legs, so some of his answers
weren't exactly wonderful. Going forward, he didn't seem like he
was as nervous giving the answers and his regardless of
if he's a knucklehead or not, he certainly did seem
to steady himself going forward.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
The reality in a situation like this is you're not
the presidential candidate, so you're arguing points for somebody who's
not there, and then arguing against what other people are
saying about actions that maybe you've done in the past.
It's a really weird situation where you really are like, Okay,
I'm going to be the stand in for this guy

(01:15:17):
or this gal, and I'm going to argue for and
against certain things.

Speaker 8 (01:15:20):
It's odd, right, because you're the surrogate for the for
the president, for the presidential candidate. No one really cares
what the vice president thinks about something, and the vice
president's supposed to think, if they're united as one, exactly
what the president thinks. And you can see with some
of the questions for advance where he's obviously had differences
with Trump in the past, and he's kind of aligned himself.
And the same thing with Kamala in the past with

(01:15:41):
Joe Biden, where she clearly had much different opinions on
things than Joe Biden did and she's aligned him. And
now that's a problem for her because it looks like
she's been flip flopping on some many things. But you're
exactly right on that they are there to advocate for
the presidential candidate or you're there to attack the opposites
presidential candidate. That's kind of what it is because they're

(01:16:01):
not gonna said no one really cares what what Walter
Vance thinks about certain things.

Speaker 17 (01:16:05):
They care what the president thinks.

Speaker 8 (01:16:07):
I thought Vance was Actually I was kind of mixed
on Vance's start where he just goes off and starts
explaining himself and he starts with middle classic Oh my.

Speaker 17 (01:16:15):
Gosh, we had another Kamala Harris going on here. But
you know, he brought it back and he did answer
the question.

Speaker 8 (01:16:20):
And there were some issues about them answering questions actually
rather than just going off on talking points.

Speaker 17 (01:16:25):
They had been fed by their by the media staffers too.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, I mean the whole weird, like the
way the moderators handled certain things, and it was just
it didn't you know, they wanted them to fact check
each other, and when there was an actual fact check.
Is even Chris Cuomo said he was absolutely right, he
was fact checking them, and they shut his mic off.
And everybody's like, well, he was trying to man explain
and two strong women shut him down. You guys are

(01:16:51):
idiots talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy inst to do of
public policy research. One thing's for sure. I think last night,
and I heard from several people who aren't fans of
jd Vance or or Donald Trump, is there is this
perception of both of these guys last night. One is
a big dufist right, and the other one is you know,
a snide a hole. I think the other one came across.

(01:17:13):
I don't have to agree with his politics. I don't
think Tim tim Wallis is a bad guy. I think
he's an Auschucks kind of guy. I think that's real.
I think jd Vance came across in a much more
stated way where if people who are watching had a
who were open minded enough and had a thought of
who he was, they could stand back and go. He's
not everything I was told.

Speaker 17 (01:17:32):
He was absolutely not. He's not what the left's media
has made him out to be.

Speaker 8 (01:17:36):
He was very relatable, he's very smart, and he was
able to basically get across the points. And he was
also very you know, accommodating to Waltz. You know, you know, well,
I agree with, you know, with some of what you said, Tim,
but and then he'd go off and basically make his
point about what walt was wrong about or what Kamala
Harris had done in the past that was wrong about
that position. So most definitely, by the way, getting back

(01:17:58):
to the moderators, moderators are like umpires. They're supposed to
be seen and not heard. They do their best when
you don't even notice they're there. You noticed those moderators
were there last night?

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Yeah, yeah, and that's not that again, if you know
the referee's name, it's usually not a good night for
the referee talking to Jim Kennedy. Kennedy ins to do
public policy research. So let's move on from here. I
don't know if this is going to have any kind
of real lasting effect. I don't think it will. But
the one thing I think for people who are who
were on the fence for the likes of maybe Donald Trump.

(01:18:31):
Does this help in a way where people look and go,
all right, He's somewhat of a steadying influence, has some
common sense. He is not maga in the way that
maybe that you know, Donald Trump, who throws around all
these fiery things. Does this give some people out there
who will not vote for Kamala or want to vote

(01:18:52):
for the right but don't really want to vote for Trump?
Will this help?

Speaker 17 (01:18:55):
Yeah? I think it does.

Speaker 8 (01:18:56):
Remember Trump, you know, Trump is a seventy nine year
old person will be eighty, I believe inauguration time. So
you're talking about somebody that is you know that that
is older. And you need to think about it because
the vice president is one heart beat away from the
presidency and they's supposed to be the person.

Speaker 17 (01:19:09):
That's the backup in case something unfortunately happens.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
They've already taken two shots at him.

Speaker 8 (01:19:14):
Well it's gonna say yes, And especially for Trump's case,
he does seem to be a target that they like
to use for target practice unfortunately, so that there is
that too, absolutely, and that's something you know, I think
vance qualmed or basically calmed people when it comes to well,
this guy is going to be some crazy, mega guy
who has just you know, got all these crazy positions
that are way way way right from what you know

(01:19:36):
the normal Americans are. And I think you very much
calm that down. He pretty much said to you know,
you should have like a responsible leader. It seems like
somebody who you know could be president if unfortunately it's
called upon him to do so. I don't think Waltz
did necessarily a bad job. I think Vance did a
better job of basically explaining his position, and certainly, yeah,
if there are some independence out there going well, I
don't really know if I can get behind Trump because

(01:19:57):
it could be Vance one day. I thinklast night pretty
much said yeah, I could understand that, and I can
get behind that because Vance doesn't scare me as much
as I've been told I should be scared of him
by the media.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedys, who do at Public Policy Research,
all right, we've got thirty four days left. What do
both candidates need to do to bring this thing home?
Because it's a coin flip, you know. Five point thirty
eight says it's coin flip. You've got Lickman from whatever college,
Virginia College, whatever, saying it's over Harris is one, and
then you've got other big political pundits going. No, this

(01:20:29):
thing is going to be a much bigger win for Trump. Realistically,
what do both of these candidates need to do to
reach that potential? Now I'm thinking it's maybe one hundred
thousand people across seven states.

Speaker 8 (01:20:40):
Yeah, No, it's really what it really is going to
come down to Trump's case, don't be stupid, Try try
to be less Trump and just try to try to
not say silly things and not say things that are
that are going to get you in the news media
for you know, for oddities or something. For Kamala Harris,
she's got a lot of things to navigate because she's
got a lot of potential world issues out there that
could affect her. This strike goes on for a couple

(01:21:01):
more weeks, it's going to start getting bad and prices
are gonna supply is going to start getting constrained, and
prices are going to go up if the dock workers
don't get you know, taken care of it.

Speaker 17 (01:21:09):
In three four weeks. We've got a couple weeks worth
of supplies.

Speaker 8 (01:21:11):
But after that as you start getting really close to
the election, this could get really hairy for them if
President Biden doesn't do something or they can't find a way.

Speaker 17 (01:21:19):
Around their disagreements on their on the labor issue.

Speaker 8 (01:21:23):
The hurricane response is going to be very critical for
them in basically in North Carolina Swing state and in
parts of Georgia also are affected by this badly, and
there's you know, heart and mind, our prayers go out
to everybody out there that's been affected by this and
the horrible flooding in those areas.

Speaker 17 (01:21:39):
So that's definitely going to be a problem if.

Speaker 8 (01:21:41):
After a couple of weeks people are thinking, hey, you know,
it's been fourteen days and we're still sitting in our roofs,
and you know, my neighbors were, but I haven't seen
them anymore and I don't think they're alive anymore.

Speaker 17 (01:21:50):
Type of problem.

Speaker 8 (01:21:51):
Also, the Middle East gonna be a problem now. Who
knows what's going to happen with the Israeli response. So
she's got a lot of things out of her control
or within minimal amounts of her control. And same thing
for her, don't say stupid things. Basically, they what you know,
what's gonna people, what are people going to dig into?
And of course what everyone wants to know, what will
the October surprise be for each of the parties.

Signed James Dean.

Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia server Where.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
What truppy? That's fine? How's trending in the old interwebs
on this most exciting Tuesday. I don't know if you
guys are were this. There was a debate last night
trending big time on Twitter, jd Vance, Tim Walls undecided,
tamp on, Tim Nicole Wallace, see where I'm going with

(01:24:29):
this knucklehead school shooter fact check, and then you get
down to some other stuff that has baseball. The playoffs
started last night. America's Hitler twenty twenty election All trending

(01:24:52):
in the world of Twitter, Obron Yahoo, who won the debate?
Numb one trending thing. Iran Israel conflict. I don't know
if it's really a conflict. I believe it's the start
of a war. But that's just me. Rashid Rice h
death toll from the Hurricane doc strike. Frankie Valley Harris

(01:25:13):
versus Trump, all trending on Yahoo. Finally over to the
magical world, Oh Google. John Amos passed away yesterday. He
of Good Times fame. He was the Dad, the Pops,
the man. Frank Fritz American Pickers passed away yesterday as well.

(01:25:34):
Jade Vance and Iran Israel number one training think two
million searches each yesterday. Not a surprise. Ma here's what
McDonald's Halloween buckets are back. That's right, baby, That's what
I'm talking about. Tieneman Square, Daniel t Lewis he's unretiring.

(01:25:56):
For those of you who don't know, he is unretiring
from the ward of acting to doing nothing, unretiring to
now act again. This time he's going to do it
in his son's movie, which is going to be a drama.

(01:26:17):
So because he's young and he's got nothing else going on,
and one of the reasons he retired. If you guys
don't know anything about Daniel d. Lewis arguably the greatest
actor of all time, at least in this modern era.

Speaker 7 (01:26:28):
He is a.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
Method actor. So when you get a method actor, you
get into character, and he gets into character. My buddy
worked on Lincoln and Last of the Mohicans, and I
will tell you this right now, he's like dude slept

(01:26:51):
into a tepee and you had to address him as
mister President. Like, he gets into it. And so because
he gets so into it, what are those situations where
I think it takes a toll on him. In fact,
his last movie was The Phantom Thread, where I think
he was a dressmaker and he spent I think a
year and a half like learning how to make dresses,

(01:27:14):
working in dress shops. Like he gets into it. That's
why he's so great because he knows how to play
make believe. He just goes overboard with the make belief
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter? Tweet at his
text the program? A lot of you chiming in about
last night's debate. You know, I mean, look who won?

(01:27:35):
I think we know who won. Jd Vance won. That
wasn't that was easy to see. Everybody understands that he's
just slicker, he's better at this stuff. Doesn't mean that
the media didn't have some things to say to jd Vance.

Speaker 28 (01:27:55):
Nicole Wallace and I actually think if you're a woman,
that might be the worst moment Jadvance had because he
was gonna man explain right over that mute button.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
He was. And again I don't.

Speaker 28 (01:28:07):
Pretend to know however we'll react to this. I think
that a lot of women in positions of authority that
should command respect just by virtue of that dynamic will
see themselves and some dude that disrespected them and talked.

Speaker 17 (01:28:20):
Over you know.

Speaker 28 (01:28:21):
I mean there was a moment like that with the
vice presidential in the Harris Pence debate.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
That's not what happened. That's not what happened. He fact checked,
which is what they told him to do. They told
both of them last night, you guys fact check each other.
We're not here to fact check your that's your job.
You guys fact check each other. So he fact checked
when it came to the Haitian immigrants and the app

(01:28:52):
that they're using. So he fact checks them and they
won't let him, and they acted like, oh, but he
was right. He was absolutely right about that. And it
has nothing to do with you being a woman. I mean, look,
do you think he would have done that to a man?
Yes or no? Absolutely? Okay, then so it has nothing

(01:29:12):
to do with you being a woman. So insane, Oh
my god. But does this change anything and the you
know what changed last night? People see JD. Evans a
little bit different. That's what changed. Outside of that, it

(01:29:35):
doesn't change anything else. Maybe it offers some people who
are nervous about Donald Trump. You know, you need that
balancing act. I've been talking about all day today. Good cop,
bad cop, good cop, bad cop. He's one of those
guys that offers I think some comfort for people out
there who are worried that Trump is evil and that

(01:29:57):
no one will balance him out and I think it
offered a little bit of some hope for people who
are like I can't vote for her, but I don't
know if I can vote for him. But I don't
think it changed anything in the big room three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benton Show,
to Twitter, your Instagram. A lot of stuff still to
get to. Obviously, what's going on in Israel? Is this

(01:30:20):
the start of World War three? What's coming in the
next twenty four to forty eight hours. I mean, I
think we all are, you know, looking at this and
then wondering as well, what is our role going to
be in this? Because there will be a role. The
question is how big? And does Israel want us anywhere
near what they may do? Talk about that. A lot

(01:30:40):
of other stuff to get to. It is the Chad
Benton shown Chad.

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
Benson shoe, independent Thoughts, Independent life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
This is Chad Benson, the President vice president going to
be heading to North Carolina, Georgia, some of the affected
places over the next several hours throughout the day, and
there's plenty of them out there. There is no doubt
about that. It's tough. I mean, I'm out here in

(01:31:31):
Tennessee right now. So I'm out here in Nashville, and
the eastern part of the state is just crushed.

Speaker 21 (01:31:36):
In Tennessee, a public health emergency now declared. Disaster response
teams rushing to provide medical care, but the governor says
volunteers are helping the most.

Speaker 23 (01:31:46):
There's water, there's diapers, there's food, there are shelters set up, hot.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
Meals being delivered.

Speaker 21 (01:31:53):
Some senators are calling for Congress to reconvene to approve
more relief funds.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
They're not going to. They are well, probably when they
get around to when they're coming in, they're not going
to reconvene.

Speaker 17 (01:32:03):
That's what you know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Lindsey Graham said that probably not going to do it.
Nature is ferocious and there are still plenty of people missing,
and you know, you can't have a conversation about something
like this. That's climate change. It's a tragedy. Hurricanes has
been around forever. It's just the reality of it. We

(01:32:25):
now live in the paths of hurricanes. So if everybody
lived in the desert, it would be super hot, but
we would not be infected by any hurricanes. So there
are people now in the path of hurricanes. There are
people now in the path of torrential downpours that this
weather system brings with it. So that is something and

(01:32:50):
it shouldn't be political, but we make everything political in
today's world. You have people that are still missing, you
have people that have lost their life. Well once this
woman lost her family and you just chost her child.

Speaker 21 (01:33:06):
More than one hundred and sixty deaths across six states
are now blamed on the storm. Hundreds of people are
unaccounted for. It comes as we learn more about the
people swept away by the floodwaters.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
I thought we were okay still.

Speaker 22 (01:33:22):
Until the house broke.

Speaker 21 (01:33:23):
Apart, making Dry told Fox Weather is a roof of
their house collapsed, Her parents and seven year old son drowned.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
And if you look at the pictures of places like
Ashville in certain areas wiped out, should nothing there. And
we talk about this. You can prepare for a lot
of things, but there's just some things in life you
can't prepare for. When nature wants to do what nature does,
it does it in such a way that it is

(01:33:55):
it's not going to be stopped. And you got to
make sure that you heed these warnings. And that's a
lot of times what happens to people. Wow, we've heard
this a thousand times, and they don't go somewhere and
then what it's so happening? You know, it's the boy
who cried I always talking about the boy who cried wolf.
What eventually happens the freaking wolf shows up? It's too late? Then,

(01:34:17):
oh yeah, By the way, if you want to help
Red Cross, uh, Helene, you text the word Helene to
nine zero nine nine nine. It's that simple, nine zero
nine nine nine and you can give right there via text.
And it's simple and easy, and I think that's the
way we like things done nowadays. Last night there was
a debate. I could play you some of the sound bites,

(01:34:38):
but I thought this was better because again I enjoy
a little bit of yacht rock. We got some Dave
Mason here. We just disagree, which they did last night,
but they showed some civility.

Speaker 15 (01:34:50):
We have a big country and it's diverse, and California
has a different viewpoint on this than Georgia.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
Georgia has a different viewpoint from Arizona.

Speaker 15 (01:34:58):
And the proper way to handle this is to let
voters make these decisions, let the individual states make their
abortion policy.

Speaker 14 (01:35:06):
Say that your life and your rights as basic as
the right to control your own body, is determined on geography.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
That's why the restoration of rovers is wave.

Speaker 15 (01:35:15):
So, first of all, Margaret, before we talk about deportations,
we have to stop the bleeding. We have a historic
immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she
wanted to undo all of Donald Trump's border policies ninety
four executive orders, suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens, massively increasing
the asylum faud that exists in our system.

Speaker 14 (01:35:37):
Donald Trump had four years, get four years to do this,
and he promised you, America, how easy it would be.
I'll build you a big, beautiful wall in Mexico, will
pay for it. Less than two percent of that wall
got built in Mexico didn't pay a dime. Now, the
thing I'm most concerned about he is the idea that
imprisoning your political opponents already laying the groundwork for people
not accepting this and a president's words matter.

Speaker 15 (01:35:58):
It's really rich for democratic leaders to say that Donald
Trump is a unique threat to democracy when he peacefully
gave over power on January the twentieth.

Speaker 14 (01:36:08):
It's those that were closest to Donald Trump that understand
how dangerous he is when the world is this dangerous.
I've tried to do the best I can, but I've
not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's gonna be stuck
in your head all day. You're like, damn, I like
that song. I go to YouTube or Spotify and fine,
and it's Dave Mason. We just disagree. It's a great song.
I don't care about what the hell they were saying.
This is the fun song. And they did disagree. And
the cordial side of it last night. You know what
won last night a bit of civility.

Speaker 7 (01:36:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
I heard people go, I bet Donald Trump's really mad
that he was civil. I'm like, everything is like, ugh,
you know, if you're not punching somebody in the throat,
you're not. It's just like so ridiculous.

Speaker 17 (01:37:06):
They were civil.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
That was it was that right there was interesting because
we live in a time now where we're like, you
know what for not throwing food at each other, then
nobody's paying attention, which is probably you know, because I
heard several of you go, this is boring, and I'm like,
is that where we are now. We're like, people are
having real conversations and you can't even focus because they're

(01:37:32):
not the shiny object of anger. That's a great name
for a band, ladies and gentlemen, the Shiny object of Anger.
Oh I love that. So good night for policy. If
you liked Kamala Harris, you still like her, and Tim

(01:37:52):
Walls that aw shucks guy. If you like Jade Evance,
you still like him. And Donald Trump. If you were
on the fence and last night was the only thing
you had to go on, you're probably going to pick
I would say eight out of ten of you are
going to pick Jade Vance just based on the fact

(01:38:14):
that he was smooth and better. He was just this
is what he does. There's no doubt he won. I
mean it was a technical knockout. But this isn't going
to be the end all to be all. There will
probably be an October surprise at some point in time.
I think we recognize that, and you know, as Jim
Kennedy as we you know, if you miss any of
the show. At the beginning of this hour, we had
Jim Kennedy on. He said, look, there are three things

(01:38:36):
right now that have a potential to go really nasty
that this administration right now has to deal with the
ports being one of them. I've talked about that throughout
the show. The other is how they handle what's going
on when it comes to the hurricane and the response

(01:38:59):
because North Carolina, Georgia and what's happening in the Middle East,
And we're going to talk a bit about that to
wrap up the show. Because we have no idea what
is going to go on there, we do know there's
going to be a response. How big of a response
it's going to be. What is our action going to
be in this situation? How far away in our communication

(01:39:23):
of their actions Israel.

Speaker 17 (01:39:26):
And US?

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Are we meaning, are we just now defending with our ships,
the drones and the missiles that are coming and it's
reactionary or we an active participant in not just intelligence
gathering but potentially some other things. Or are they just

(01:39:50):
going to go it alone and we'll pretend like we're
getting information when really we're not. So there are several
things that could potentially affect her the campaign moving forward
that in some cases maybe out of her control, but
how they react to it will show a lot. And
is he going to allow her to take some of

(01:40:11):
the lead. Probably not. I still am of the position
that he does not like Kamala Harris. I just don't
think he does. I think he looks at it and
goes firm. You you stabbed me in the back man
three two, three, five, twenty four to twenty three acts

(01:40:32):
had been to show to Twitter, your Instagram, all of
the other things. Love hearing from me. You got some

That's about it. And you know so I grinned Barrett

Speaker 1 (01:43:22):
If you like doc Radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 5 (01:43:29):
The key issue here is how does Israel response. Does
it calibrate its response which it did after the last
Erranian assault on Israel back in April.

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
It was a single attack.

Speaker 5 (01:43:39):
It was basically to send them a message that yes,
we've responded, everyone's retaliated, no real damage, and it's not
going to escalate further. There's real danger here. We keep
talking about the dangers of escalation in this conflict. Well,
it's already escalated, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:43:53):
You very much. It is escalated, and it will continue
to escalate because there's no doubt that they are going
to retality, they being Israel. And I maintain that he
wants that, Bibi Neet Yahoo wants to push this further
because I think he thinks we can no longer live
like this, we can no longer be in a position

(01:44:14):
where we are hearing sirens twenty four to seven that Iran,
and that's what this is really about. I mean, you
take Iran out of the mix. Hezballah doesn't really have anything.
I mean they're a big force, but you take away
the purse strings, things change, and then maybe minds change
because opportunities open up. And they always talk about when

(01:44:37):
you cut the head off here, right, NAZRAELA and all this,
you're not cutting the head off. All you're doing is
you're replacing one with another, and there will always be
that until you actually decapitate, And once that happens, there's
no reason to place another one because that other one's

(01:44:58):
going to be doing what throwing rocks, They're going to
have nothing. Now, what is that strike going to look like?
Because it will come.

Speaker 20 (01:45:08):
The Israeli military is going to present the government with
a menu of options, and I'm told is very very
likely to include attacking Iranian military installations, but also possibly
its energy sector. It really depends on how far the
Israeli government wants to take this, and a reprisal might
not be immediate or in the midst of the Jewish
New Year, the biggest holiday of the year here, and

(01:45:30):
the Israeli government is going to want to consult with
the US government before taking action.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
I don't know if that's true or not. The possibility
of it is real, but they haven't been because I
don't think they would like to have a conversation with us,
knowing full well our answer is going to be don't escalate,
don't do anything. Don't escalate, don't do anything. And I
think they're at the point where they're like, you know what,

(01:45:55):
every time something happens, we defend ourselves. You criticize us
and tell us not to escalate. So maybe we'll ask
for forgiveness. We're not going to ask for permission. They
are striking. For those of you not keeping score, the ports, well,
they're not really flowing.

Speaker 26 (01:46:12):
The Biden administration is now ramping up the pressure on
shipping companies to offer higher wages to the union members
here tell us that they are also demanding limits on
the use of automated machinery that they fear could replace
their jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
Of course, and that's the big deal. It's the automation. Automation, automation, automation.
They're terrified of automation. This guy here sums everything up
about what this is really all about. Yes, they want
more money, better working conditions. We can talk about all
of those things. Those are in every single strike, But
it is this singular thing that terrifies them the most.

Speaker 7 (01:46:46):
Long beach.

Speaker 13 (01:46:47):
They have a terminal, automated cranes run by themselves, the
trucks run by themselves.

Speaker 7 (01:46:53):
Ship unloads by itself, the ship loads by itself. That
ain't gonna happen here. What we're concerned about, more than
anything is automation.

Speaker 2 (01:47:01):
Automation. That's what we're concerned about. It ain't gonna happen here.
It is maybe not tomorrow, but it is. It's coming.
You're standing in the way of a freight train and
it's going downhill and it's picking up steam, and you're
yelling at it, thinking it's going to change its path.
It's not. Now you can step aside and go all right,
let me see how I get on this thing and
see where it goes. As opposed to freaking out, I get.

(01:47:23):
I have a friend that works in Long Beach, actually
a friend and his father. They've been there for years
and they're still there and they're still making gangs of cash.
But yes, automation is a big part of what goes
on there. And you and I, if we're honest, don't
care where we get our stuff from when it comes

Illinois teacher strike in nineteen eighty six October eighty six
to June of eighty seven, almost the entire school year.
Sag after went six months in two thousand. But nothing
