Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
He said he was going to do it, and he's
damn well doing it.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I said this week, there are five things Trump needs
to tackle, right, We went over them, everything from the debt,
the deficit to Ukraine. You know, the economy obviously will
always be number one or two, but immigration was going
to be the one that was the easiest to tackle
when you're going to be taking actions first. He put

(00:40):
certain actions in place when he was president before that
were undone by Biden that were easily replaced by Trump
once he got into office, and he said, I'm doing
this and guess what. So far, starting out pretty good, as.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Been, Trump already getting results as he cracks down on
illegal immigration during his first week in office, Homeland security
sources telling News Nation that border patrol has seen a
more than forty percent dropping encounters. In the final days
of the Biden presidency, border patrol recorded four thousand encounters
with illegal immigrants compared to just fewer than twenty four

(01:17):
hundred since inauguration day. That news coming as the President
sends fifteen hundred more troops to the southern border, along
with the Pentagon sending aircraft or sending intelligence.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You name it.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Lots of stuff going on at the border. That's a
good thing. That's what we wanted. Now, obviously you've got
to tackle all the people that are here. We've got
to sort that out. But as I've said on numerous occasions,
you don't bail out the boat as it's filling with water.
Will not fixing the hole first. You got to fix

(01:51):
the whole first. And that's what's happening, which is awesome
big time. And Ali Bradley, our friend from News Nation,
I think I'm gona try to get wrong or tomorrow.
Who is down at the border. They asked you, Yeah, like,
has anything changed, And there's one thing that absolutely has changed.
I know this because I talked to called my buddy,
so I play pickleball with that I miss in Arizona,

(02:12):
who are Border patrol agents, and they have called the
same thing.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
I would say the biggest change down here at the
southern border is really the shift in energy as President
Trump's executive actions take hold. Because the men and women
down here on the front lines that I'm fighting this
fight along the border, they say they can finally do
their job, and yeah, they're going to have a little
bit of help here doing it as the President announced
that fifteen hundred active duty soldiers are being deployed down

(02:37):
to the southern border. Now, it's worth noting that four
thousand troops National Guard soldiers were deployed down here under
President Trump in twenty eighteen under Operation Guardian Support, so
there have been thousands of DoD soldiers down here. A
big difference is a difference in active versus inactive, which
the National Guard are considered non active militaries.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
So fifteen hundred head and there, the question is what
the hell can they do because we know what the.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
National Guard, they really can't do anything.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
They're there, they transport, they do a few things, but
they don't do anything big.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
They're not doing anything.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
They're not taking custody of people, they're not going out
catching people.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
So what can they do?

Speaker 6 (03:18):
What can they actually do?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Well, see what happens there when they don't have immigration
authority JESSE, so they're going to have to kind of
navigate that. One another big thing that we're seeing changing
is barriers are expanding down here. We've seen Governor Abbot
this week putting new buoys into the Rio Grand that's
a controversial barrier that has gone back and forth in
the courts. That is expanding the wall also expanding down

(03:40):
here along the southern border under Governor Abbot, he is
likely going to be excited to pass that project off
to the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, get that out of our hair.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
So a lot is happening, and this is exactly what
he said he was going to do. I'm doing this.
This is what's going to happen. I'm going to eliminate
the insanity that the last administration unleashed on America, and
I'm going to roll back to where we were when
I was president and we didn't seem to have an

(04:15):
immigration problem outside of the fact that the left going,
it's just so mean. No, we have a border for
a reason. They do not respect our border. Who are they?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Everybody is who they are.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
Oh, the American people have been waiting for such a
time as this for our Department of Defense to actually
take homeland security seriously. This is a number one priority
of the American people, and the President is already delivered them.

Speaker 8 (04:44):
Also worth noting, the President has signed an executive order
directing DHS, the Department of Justice, and State Department to quote, repel, repatriate,
and remove illegal aliens across the southern border. The message
from the White House being don't come amen.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Part of the soldiers going there is also optics.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Optics are a big deal.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Optics for the cartels, optics for the people that are
trying to cross.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
The border without the help of the cartels.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's just the optics itself is a very big deal.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
And right now.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Trump is doing everything he said he was going to do.
Now the question is what does Mexico start to do.
What are some of these other countries start to do
as people really are trying to figure out how they
navigate their way up here and now get to the border.

Speaker 8 (05:49):
Well, we've heard from Mexico's president, Claudia Shanbaum, who says
that they are preparing for the return of some of
their Mexican citizens. And what you're seeing along the US
Mexico border is the construction of all of these camps
that are currently being built. And this is happening in
multiple cities all the way from the Gulf of Mexico
out to the California border as well. But something to

(06:11):
note here, Marquis is that while the Mexican president says
that they're prepared to take in their citizens, they have
not necessarily agreed to take in citizens from other countries,
saying that they intend to continue to uphold their own
laws when it comes to migration and repatriation.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's kind of funny, right, You're going to uphold your
own laws. This is what you're going to do about
people that are crossing through your country, and you're fine
with them using you as a pathway to our country,
but the minute they are in your country, you're like, well,
you don't want them here. So it's gonna be very interesting.

(06:51):
But he's doing everything he said he was going to do,
and people shouldn't be shocked. And we're going to talk
a little bit later about the other side of it.
What's going to happen in this country. How are states
and cities going to fight the Feds or work with
the Feds, Because there's going to be some clashes, There's

(07:16):
no doubt about that. There's going to be some serious clashes.
And I do believe we're going to see official or
two who is going to.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Be arrested.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Because they tried to stop and hinder Ice and the
Feds from doing their job. Again, he is doing what
he said he was going to do, which brings us
to this January sixth. You know, everybody asked me about
January six I have a I'm very honest about it.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
If you destroyed property, if you.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Beat and or fought with the police, you should be punished,
and many, if not all, already have. If you didn't
do any of that, you walk through, you stood there,

(08:10):
then you left. You never threw a punch, you never
broke anything, you were just milling about. You should have
got a find and a misdemeanor and we move on
with our life. It should be that simple. But the
left and the media will not ever let this go.

(08:32):
This is one of those I was reading a great thing.
I get this email every day from the thing called
the Liberal Patriot, and it's basically an old fashioned kind
of liberal you would think about. You know, it's like, eh,
you know, not insane has the best way to describe it,
talking about the weird hills that the left has abandoned
the common sense world and decided to die on certain hills.

(08:57):
And it's everything from the DEI wacky crap to you know,
all this stuff that the average working class person just
doesn't care about and thinks is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
And one of them is the continual.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
January sixth push that most people don't care about.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
What happened to backing police officers. You're part of it,
says time it again, we back the blue. It sounds
like you let down the blue. You're betraying the blue.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
Dan, Why don't you just give an editorial and not
let me come on, Look what happened in the last
four years with police? What happened with all the riots
that took place all across the country. Police officers were murdered,
courthouses were burned. Over twenty two police cars were burned.
Yet no one went to jail for that. Where's your
crocodile engaged for that? Now you're engaging games. You're engaging

(09:51):
the game in a game of what about ism?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's not what about ism, Jim, that's reality. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yes, he's asking you a question, trying to compare the two.
But that's an easy comparison to do. It's it's that simple.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It is.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Most Republicans don't view these people as political prisoners or hostages,
but most of them also agree that a vast majority.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Of them should have been punished the way they were.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
They should have got a misdemeanor and a fine and
moved on with their life.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
That's what should have happened.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes, the ones who fought the cops did horrific things.
You bet you throw the book at him, and they did.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
People were every CNN didn't star the Capital. These people did,
and President Trump let them out of jail. Why not
just say you were wrong, mister President? Say it? Why
can't you say.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
It because you're hoping he just comes on to say
you were wrong because you're not interested in actually having
a conversation about anything real. You just want to get
the I Got you moment. And that's why nobody trusts CNN,
MSNBC's in the world three two, three, five, three eight,

(11:18):
twenty four to twenty three Atchadbenton, Josh your Twitter tweet

(12:57):
It is the Chad Benson Show, Jad Benson.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
Just after eleven AM, SWAT teams are swarming Antioch High
School with nearly two thousand students inside.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
All of a sudden, we were hearing all the.

Speaker 10 (13:18):
Shooting, Frantic students barricading themselves in classrooms.

Speaker 11 (13:22):
We had tables, desk.

Speaker 10 (13:24):
Chairs, family and friends flooded with texts from students inside.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I mean, just chaos.

Speaker 10 (13:31):
Police say seventeen year old student Solomon Henderson opened fire
with a pistol, killing sixteen year old Jocelyn Escalante. Another
male student was grazed by a bullet.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I was on the air not too far away from
where this took place. And here's the thing. We want
immediate answers the stuff.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
And yesterday, hearing all of this, and I did my
local Nashville show three hours of this, there wasn't a
lot of answers. Again, everybody wants to know who's this kid.
And finally we found Outka was a seven year old.
He killed a girl.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
The whole thought in my mind, I said, sounds like
a lover's quarrel.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I mean not to be rude, but if a kid
walks in and shoots a girl and shoots himself, you
would probably think that's a lover's quarrel.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Not so fast. This kid had.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
All kinds of issues and a disdain for things like himself.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
He's black, and he said he hated being black.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Inspired by several people including Candice Owens, Nick Fuentes, Douchebag,
and just crazy at a manifesto.

Speaker 12 (14:39):
It starts with the title the West has Fallen, Billions
must Die. He says this book is dedicated to killing everyone.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I hate, Death to all unworthy men.

Speaker 12 (14:51):
Traders and infiltrators. It appears that he was radicalized. He
is heavily anti Semitic. In here, says death to Israel,
blames Jews for so many things that they are quote
poisoning our culture and rap that violence against Jews should happen.
Retaliation and retribution for what they have stolen is legitimate
and a good thing.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
He writes.

Speaker 12 (15:12):
There are many other racial and ethnic slurs in here.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
The N word is used.

Speaker 12 (15:15):
Extensively throughout, but he says I am ashamed to.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Be black self hate. Indeed, were there warning signs, well,
there was enough. It seems to be on some of these.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Sites for sure.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
And in the fluid situation that these things are, remember
so many people nowadays they want instantaneous information, not accurate information.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Shows, your Twitter, tweet at us
text the program right here at the Chad Benson Show.
And I say instantaneous rather than accurate, because people nowadays

(15:53):
turn everything into politics. We know that, So what does
everybody want to know? It's a social media like whose
side is this person on? Is somebody mentally ill? Is
he erradicalized? Islamist? Is he erradicalized? Right winger?

Speaker 2 (16:15):
I thought to myself, sounds like a lover's quarrel. I
was wrong.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
He had a lot of writing about hating the Jews.
He also wanted to be noticed, said he was never
really bullied, but really had like and praise for school shooters,
including the one here in Nashville, the Covenant shooting, but

(16:39):
several others.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
And how did you get here? How'd you get the gun?
How the path go that nobody noticed?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I mean, those are the questions that are going to
come in the days and weeks. But in today's world,
we don't spend days and weeks focusing on something. We
spent minutes and hours and then the next shiny thing
comes and that's yesterday. That's out of style already. I'm
onto something else. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty

(17:10):
four to twenty three. At Chad Benson show's your Twitter.
If you miss any of the show, we always say,
shame on you. Make sure you've read the podcast.

Speaker 13 (17:17):
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 14 (17:36):
Such Chad Benson Show, the.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Trump has released the letter that Biden left in the desk.
If you didn't see that. The other day, they're like,
did Biden leave you a letter? And he's like, oh,
hold on, and he opened up the desk he's, oh, yeah,
I sure did. And then the next day said what
was it. He said, it's a very nice letter. This is

(18:21):
what it said. Dear President Trump, does that take leave
of this sacred office. I wish you and your family
all the best in the next four years. The American
people and people around the world look to this house
for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history. And my
prayer is that in the coming years will be a

(18:43):
time of prosperity, peace and grace for our nation. May
God bless you and guide you, as he has blessed
and guided our beloved country since our founding. Then that
letter was written by the person who was working with
Joe Biden, because if he would wrote a letter, it
would have been in kran and when it would have
been dog faced pony soldier.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
I'll fight you.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
I don't really think he would have done that. Now,
that's good, that's good, that's nice. So what you're supposed
to do, right, long standing tradition. Indeed, yesterday quietly, I
don't know if you guys know this, but Trump has
the DEI stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Great good.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
He's doing the things he said he was gonna do,
like the shock that's some people. Well, he's what he's
doing stuff he said he was gonna do out top.
But he pulled the security clearances of the fifty one
intelligence officers who said that the Biden laptop was this,
the hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, knowing full well

(19:48):
it wasn't. For the most of them, they knew that,
but they still put it out there anyways, and everybody's
like it's a revenge to it.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
No, that's the right thing to do in that situation.
And let me tell you something.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Those things, those those clearances, this big money because with
those clearances, these guys and gals sit on boards of
companies where they need people to have security clearance when
they go and bid jobs that they're gonna hopefully get.
But the average person in that place, even the average

(20:23):
board member, can't go and look at some of these
things because you need top secret.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Clearance.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
So that's a big that's a big deal. That's absolutely
a big deal. And I had zero problems with that.
The Milli thing, I had a little bit more problems
with if you guys didn't see Millies. You know, if
you run the Pentagon, your pictures up and his picture
was taken down, And I have more problem with that

(20:52):
because you can't.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Get pissed at people.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Who want to pull down on statues and erased history,
and then you pull his portrait down because everybody's portrait's
up there.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
He's part of that.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Whether whether you like him, dislike him, think he's a trader,
all of those things, the reality is he was the
head of the Pentagon, so his pictures should still be
up there.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
And it's going to be back up there when you leave.
So I don't know why you did it, because at
times you can be petty.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
So we understand that now in keeping his promises, one
hasn't come true yet.

Speaker 15 (21:32):
Ukraine powerful barrages of deadly Russian thermobaric missiles raining down
on Ukrainian positions in Russia's Perseqwegian as Vladimir Putin's army
continues its assault. President Trump now changing his once positive
tone towards the Kremlin, threatening Moscow with tough sanctions if
we don't make a deal and soon, I have no

(21:54):
other choice but to put high levels of taxes, tariffs,
and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the
United States and various other participating countries. Trump wrote on
his social media account, and then added quote, we can
do it the easy way or the hard way.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
I like that. We could do the easy way or
the hard way. It's up to you. Either way is
a good way.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
But it's going to get done. I think it will eventually.
The question is when so I said something to Anthony
last night. I said, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna do
this tomorrow, and he's like, lex Friedman, if you don't
know Lex Friedman, and he's he's a genius, brilliant mathematician, scientist,
guy who looks like he's the academic version of Dracula.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
He's brilliant, very dry.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
But one of those people were like his his brain
is so big. And he interviews. He's got a podcast.
He interviews everybody. And he went and met with Zelensky
and they talked about how how do you get to
this point where and this is he was all with
Rogan talking to this where you can finish this war.

Speaker 16 (23:06):
All of them believe Putin and Zelensky that Trump can
do some crazy shit. Whatever you think about Donald Trump,
he is this person that world leaders respect in the
full meaning of the word of respect, not like admire,
but fear. I think both Zelenski and Putin fear Donald Trump,

(23:27):
and that's a great person to then make peace.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Leaders will tell you this, you'd rather be admired, but
if you can't be admired, feared is a good thing.
And then Lex says something here rather interesting because you know,
he sat down with Zelensky and he wants to sit
down with Putin, but because the money thing is the

(23:53):
big battle. And I remind everybody about the money thing.
We're really not giving Ukraine money. It's a double day
for the people who work at these you know, military
industrial complexes, these huge corporations, which is we're paying them.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
They ship the equipment, then we have.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
To restock the equipment with new equipment that costs money
as well.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
So it's a double dip and a double win for them.
But about that money.

Speaker 16 (24:21):
I believe US actually gave not enough money to Ukraine.
They should have given more money, hit really hard and
then make peace. This is the point. A month or
two after the start of the war. You can learn
the same kind of lesson with the rock in Afghanistan
that there's no reason those invasions, those military out.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
There, there's no other way. There's no other way than
just give money, give money and hit hard. There's no
other way avoid it. Yeah, what about how NATO back out?

Speaker 16 (24:47):
A lot of this is about diplomatic rhetoric, And yes,
NATO was consistently talking to Putin.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Which is absolutely true. Now he went in when he
should know, and had he got to Kiev rather easily,
I think he would have continued to move to other places.
That being said, there's no doubt that NATO pushed and
pushed and pushed and.

Speaker 16 (25:13):
Pushed, and yes, NATO was consistently talking to Putin. Putin
has laid out the interest of the Russian Federation. They
want their security to be respected, they want their nation
to be respected. You can't just say and you come
to the table. You have to show respect. You have
to treat other world leaders. As funny as this is to
say the way you want to be treated.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
And the one thing Putin has always had is this
want to be respected. He knows he's feared, but he
wants to be respected and he wants his country to
be respected. And he felt his country wasn't respected because
Europe and NATO pushed, pushed and pushed and teased the

(25:54):
idea on numerous occasions about Ukraine joining NATO, which is
probably never going to happen, and so he made his move.

Speaker 16 (26:04):
Zelenski, have to sit and save your nation by compromising.
That's it, and that's the hard thing of it. Especially
now there's an opportunity where it's a Trump figure rolls
in who wants to make peace, and you have to
use this opportunity. Yeah, and it's tough, it's very very tough.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, you're putting it mildly.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Because compromise means you're giving up a portion of your country.
You've seen hundreds of thousands of your fellow countrymen and
women die, You've god knows how many have been kidnapped.
You have turned portions of the country between the fighting
between you and Russia into vast wasteland of absolute nothingness.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And now you have to give up a piece of
your land.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
But that's unfortunately the way that this thing ends, and
I do think it will end sooner rather than later.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet at as
text the program.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Love hearing from every single one of you.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Read here on the Chad Benson Show. Bullwark Capital, You
canna say about bullwork investing is a very interesting thing.
Most people they have a four to one K, they've
got an I R. They just allow that person to
do whatever is they're doing. And most of the people
out there doing this stuff, it's cookie cutter. They put
them in a few funds, they're kind of locked in
a certain area and then it's let it go and

(27:26):
whatever happens happens.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Great. No, that's not who you are.

Speaker 3 (27:29):

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Draw it up? Is Elon really a Nazi? No? Is
the autistic? Probably Chad Bettage Joe, Welcome.

Speaker 17 (28:29):
To Cheshe No, not the country, the institution, the Chat
Benson Show.

Speaker 18 (28:35):
It's too late, It's too late to sound the alarms.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
You didn't listen, so.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Nobody can hear those alarms.

Speaker 18 (28:44):
It's falling on deaf ears, just like our Please for
you guys to understand what was going to happen when
that man got into office. Again, y'all had your hearing
ears off, and now you are sounding alarms that the
rest of us already heard. We heard them loud and clear,

(29:07):
and we voted.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Per those loud alarms.

Speaker 18 (29:12):
It's too late to sound the alarms.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Who's who's sounding the alarms? The same people that sounded
alarms pre Trump? We're terrified, But who else is sounding
the alarms? The media is right because they're back at
it and they're like, oh this is great, like now
he's even got a Nazi working with him, and we'll
get to that in a second. But I'm is anybody
sounding the alarms? I mean, you know, I mean, there's

(29:39):
hair on fire. But that's the media. They love that
in the politicians again, they love that in the January
sixth day. Oh god, that's just this is going to
give them years of fun. But who else is sounding
I mean, it's I'm curious, like the who's sounded? If
you're sounding alarms? I'd like to know you, text me right,

(30:00):
tweet at me, all of that stuff. Feel free to
reach out. I would like to hear from you. And
speaking of Nazis, so I didn't really want to touch
on the aswer because I think it's so ridiculous. Elon
Musk did not do a Nazi slip. We touched on
a little bit. But the fact that people are still

(30:23):
talking about it. The Chris Murphy's of the world, democratic
senator from Jersey and all of these people are still
going on and on about it is fascinating.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Have you nothing else to do? Well?

Speaker 3 (30:36):
It shows you that he surrounded himself with Nazis. No, no,
he's not surrounded himself with Nazis. Get over yourself, watch
the whole thing and realize that's not what happened. And
can we just all be honest?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
All right? Yesterday I was on the Chicks on the
right filled in and.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
I said, guys, can we all just for second realize
who Elon is. He's got the tism. He's been touched, right,
He's on the spectrum.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
We know that.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
So it makes him brilliant. And I mean he's super
high functioning obviously, but I mean the hair should have
told you. If you've saw the clip, if you see
him turn his head, it's like he didn't brush his hair,
put on a tuxedo, but didn't brush his hair.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Do you see where I'm going with this?

Speaker 3 (31:27):
And he is awkward, but the disingenuousness of like, well,
I know somewhere in there he's got lightning bolts right
on his arm.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
And he's definitely a Nazi.

Speaker 19 (31:42):
If you are someone who truly believed that what Elon
must did was a Nazi salute, you are.

Speaker 11 (31:46):
Not intelligent enough to be in politics, nor should you
be sharing your opinion online.

Speaker 19 (31:50):
If anything, we should all be pointing and laughing at you,
because if you truly believe that he did that, then
you truly believe all these democrats did one as well.

Speaker 11 (31:58):
So why weren't you outraged about it?

Speaker 20 (31:59):
Then?

Speaker 11 (32:00):
Oh, because you knew that wasn't what they're doing.

Speaker 19 (32:02):
The same way that when Elon Musk makes a statement
saying from my heart to yours and does that motion,
you know he's not doing a Nazi salute.

Speaker 11 (32:09):
You're just so angry that you lost.

Speaker 19 (32:11):
You're so angry that America woke up and is tired
of the leftist bullshit that you've been pushing upon us
for so long.

Speaker 11 (32:17):
So you're trying to say and do anything.

Speaker 19 (32:19):
That will make people second guests themselves now supporting the right.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
No, not the right, the right in their mind it's right.
It's the next coming the right, not the right, but
that right.

Speaker 19 (32:35):
If anything, I honestly feel really bad for Elon Musk.
Not that I agree with necessarily everything he says, but
people forget that this man is a diagnosed autistic man.
There are going to be certain ticks and behaviors and
speech patterns that he has that other people aren't going
to understand. As somebody with autism. Myself, I can attest
to this. There's a lot of times where I think

(32:56):
I'm being perfectly.

Speaker 11 (32:57):
Normal and nobody else does.

Speaker 19 (32:59):
So it's really sad to me to see the media
vilify him for things that literally are just symptoms of autism.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Or symptoms of DT.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Oh God, I said yesterday, Well, I guess you just
don't like people who are neurodivergent. The Democrats hate neurodivergents.
So what we meant get over it? Are you gonna
really look for everything.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Like that?

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Is that really what we're gonna do? Are we gonna
spend the next four years.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Doing this? I mean, come on, gotta do better.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Speaking of Elon Musk, So the AI announcement, stargate happens,
and like I said yesterday, I think it's a huge announcement.
I think it could arguably be the biggest thing that
Trump may do is the facilitating and pumping money into AI.

(34:04):
Now that was Larry Ellison, not a fan of Musk
their nuphouse. That was also Sam Altman, definitely not a
fan of Musk. So what happened, Well, let's just say
after the announcement, the doge leader and the person in Zirich,

(34:24):
Elon Musk, said, hold on a second.

Speaker 21 (34:26):
About all this, Musk saying that tech investors Trump stood
with don't actually have the money and quote, no one
should take it seriously. Sam Altman, the artificial intelligence pioneer
who made the announcement with Trump, has clashed with Musk
before firing back with a message for Musk, saying, I
realize what is great for the country isn't always what

(34:47):
is optimal for your companies. But in your new role,
I hope you'll mostly put America first.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Ooh, you guys will hear this at first. I've said
it for a while. At some point in time, Musk
and Trump are going to clash big time. Let's put
it this way. Donald Trump is Eddie van Halen, Elon

(35:15):
Musk is David Lee Roth. There's only so much they
can take of each other. And then you got to
bring in Sammy Hagar three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ch Edmonton show. Is your
Twitter tweet at us text the program. Love hearing from
every single one of you right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up, second hour of the show. More

(35:39):
at immigration. The troops are heading towards the border. Oh
my goodness me. You know, he said he was going
to do that. This shouldn't be a shocker to you.
And I see people freaking out and they're trying to say, hey,
we shouldn't have all these we shouldn't do these.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
No, Remember, as.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I pointed out, Democrats, you allowed this to happen. You
were fine with an open border until America wasn't. And
now that somebody's gonna do something about it, you're trying
to figure out, well, yeah, we want you to do something,
but not this. Desperate times, desperate measures.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
If you're missing the show. Grab the podcast. Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
It's all happening.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's a busy news year and we're not even close
to really getting going.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
We're not even out of January. We still got a
bit to go with that.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yesterday will hard at work, so I tend to be
trying my hardest. There was a shooting not too far
from where I'm at that happened just before I went
on air, and it was a situation that was fluid

(37:23):
because in any of these situations, the amount of information
that comes out, where it comes out from, how it
gets to you is tremendous because there's so many different
ways to get information, and not all of it's good,
not all of it's bad on purpose.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
I was explaining yesterday to my local producer bell I said.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
When situations like this happen, it's like a game of
telephone or I said. Then I compared it to Fast Times,
Rigemond High Jeff spccoley, do you remember when he called mister.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Hann A, Oh jeez, Chad, you said the word, yeah, Richard,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
By the time it got to lunch in Phoebe Kate's
was sitting down with her friend talking about it. Jeff
Speccoli in the movie had stabbed him. Now she was
in there, she saw what happened. But you see how
things can get crazy. And look, I got it wrong,

(38:26):
I said, you know, based on what I had heard,
because no other information was coming out. What did I say?
Because everybody wants to know. Now, we want instantaneous access
to everything. We want to be able to know immediately
what took.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Place, and out here there is.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Because of the Covenant shooting in March of twenty three,
the fact that there was a bunch of stuff that
was being hidden from the public on what took place.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Three kids, three teachers died.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
It was a situation where stuff started to leak out
right at the manifesto and people just don't trust. And
that is understandable. Again, people want instantaneous access to everything.
They wanted all of that stuff. What happened though, was
surprising because what I heard was seventeen year old kid

(39:22):
shot a girl and killed him, then killed himself. If
you were there, you would go feels like a lover's quarrel. No, not,
by the sounds of it. This guy had a lot
of stuff out there, this seventeen year old, on several
different platforms. And again I always take everything with a
grain of salt, because things change, right that happens. We

(39:44):
had a shooting what two three months ago.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
In was it Wisconsin or Michigan? Where?

Speaker 3 (39:54):
And how many these are, which is just crazy where
it went from There was eight people two down to
like two and then a few injured. But they that's
how fast these things change. And people have no patience.
They want to know right now. But I said, look,
by the sounds of it, if I had to put
money on it, and I would have lost. It was

(40:15):
a lover's quarrel. Turns out that wasn't true. It was
far more to the story.

Speaker 12 (40:20):
It starts with the title the West has fallen, Billions
must die. He says this book is dedicated to killing everyone.
I hate, death to all unworthy men, traders and infiltrators.
It appears that he was radicalized. He is heavily anti Semitic.
In here says death to Israel, blames Jews for so

(40:42):
many things that they are quote poisoning our culture.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
And rap that violence against.

Speaker 12 (40:47):
Jews should happen retaliation and retribution for what they have
stolen is legitimate and a good thing.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
He writes.

Speaker 12 (40:54):
There are many other racial and ethnic slurs in here.
The N word is used extensively throughout. He says, I
am ashamed.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
To be black. Wow.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
So he's seventeen and there is a decent amount in
this stuff. And I go back to is everything his?

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Is it not his?

Speaker 3 (41:16):
What do you believe? What do you not believe? And
that's we should have a skeptical lian. A lot of
stuff out there, there's no doubt about that. And Anthony said, man,
you said stuff like this was going to happen. I said, yeah,
stuff like this is going to happen. And we have
got a problem with parenting that had a problem with kids.
We've got a problem with a lot of stuff when
it comes to a younger generation. And I remind everybody

(41:41):
out there, who you know, myself included at times who
get frustrated with the younger generation. They didn't raise themselves
see gen X, which is what I am. We did
raise ourselves and it wasn't always for the best, but
these kids didn't raise themselves. But there is a lot
of issues with because this kid got down a rabbit

(42:03):
hole and kept on spire it and did anybody know?

Speaker 12 (42:08):
Then he posts a series of questions and answers, such
as with killing random high schoolers save the white race
or something, and he answers, yes if they were people
of color. He writes, are you a victim of bullying?
He says, I can't remember a single instance of being
bullied personally, but says the media and attention seekers will
say that I was an other BS like he was

(42:29):
just a quiet kid. He writes, why did you attack
a school? He doesn't specifically answer that one, but then
goes on to describe the various people who should be targeted,
a long list of people from presidents to journalists and children.
Among the people who he says radicalized him, he cites
Candace Owens and Nick Fuintes, hard right anti Semitic pundit

(42:52):
who you may remember was here in Nashville again for
those neo Nazi attacks. He writes, do you plan to
survive the attack? He writes, I plan on going out
as a hero by blowing my brains with my gun
while live streaming.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Which is what he tried to do, And some of
it was live streamed, but not all of it. It was
on a platform called kick and they took it down immediately.
But I mean this again, how did you get here?
You wrote all the stuff, some of it's been out

(43:26):
there for a while. How did nobody notice? And apparently
he had an issue before this as well. Was he
on anybody's radar? They have everybody's Like, well, what happened
to the metal detectors? They weren't working? Wouldn't have stopped.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Somebody who wants to kill a lot of people? Am
I right?

Speaker 8 (43:43):
Like?

Speaker 3 (43:43):
If that is your your hell bent on doing that
or die trying? What is going to happen if you
get up to a metal detector who it may not
even be being manned.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Do you think that that's gonna stop? No?

Speaker 3 (43:57):
No, you just blash your way through it if that's
your goal to kill as many as possible.

Speaker 12 (44:03):
And this is particularly disturbing because we saw video posted
this morning on this same ex account purportedly belonging to him,
that shows video labeled as a test. He includes a
map of the school under the heading my gear, weapons
and clothing.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
There's a photo of.

Speaker 12 (44:19):
The gun and cartridges that match the photos of the
gun that were also posted on that same account shortly
before the shootings. There's a photo of a lock picking kit.
He also pays tribute to people he modeled his attack
after and lists half a dozen people who committed mass murders,
and finally he closes with what he calls final remarks.

(44:40):
What's interesting is that these are dated November eighteenth of
twenty twenty four, meaning he'd been thinking about this for
a while, and he writes, I was so miserable, I
wanted to kill myself. I just couldn't take anymore. He
includes the lists of various social media accounts that he
says where his many have now been suspended. At least
one we found included a link to instructions on how

(45:01):
to carry out a mass killing.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Nobody knew that he was going through all this stuff.
Nobody knew he was spiraling out of control. Parents, parent, grandparent, friend,
all questions that may or may not get answered. But
here's the sad part by Friday. For the most part,

(45:27):
this will be out of the news because the shiny
thing will pop up and we'll pay attention to that
until the next one comes along. And here's the other
sad part. A couple stations that carry me nationwide. They

(45:47):
hit me up yesterday when all this happened, and when
they said, well, what do you know, and I said, well,
I said everything as far as body count is, it's
too dead.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And they're like, well, that's that's not enough to make
a big splash, So there's anything more. Let us know.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
It's unfortunate that we're that desensitized and numb to it,
but that's the reality of it. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at chadminsons show
to your Twitter, your Instagram, and a bunch of other things.
Trump gonna get his first test in court, if you will, No,
not that kind of court or something like that having

(46:34):
to do with his executive orders.

Speaker 22 (46:37):
Today, a judge in Seattle will hear the first challenge
to Trump's executive order blocking birthright citizenship, which is protected
by the fourteenth Amendment in the Constitution. The Trump administration
is seeking to interpret the amendment to argue that not
all children born in the US should be granted citizenship,
including those whose parents are either undocumented or on temporary visas.

(46:59):
Most experts agree it's a long shot. One expert says
she does not think Trump's order will stand.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
I don't think it will either, but doesn't mean it's
not a conversation starter. And I think it absolutely is.
But conversation starting and changing something are two separate things.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
There could be a way to attack it.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Through law about certain things, length of time you're here before,
Maybe you can sponsor somebody to come over, those kind
of things. I mean, I'm spitballing here, but you're gonna
have to come at it at that direction because the Constitution,
sacred founding fathers made it hard to change because they

(47:45):
did want the trends of the day to influence the
Constitution where it was just going back and forth from
one extreme to another extreme, etcetera, etcetera. They didn't want that.
They wanted to make it difficult. They wanted everybody to
essentially be on the same damn page. So I don't

(48:08):
think it's gonna stand up. Good effort, right, good effort.
Conversation definitely needs to be had, But there are other
fights to fight, and there are other ways to attack
this that isn't about the Constitution. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch had Benson shows your
Twitter tweet text, got some tweets coming up, a little bit,

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Now it's time for the Chad Action News Weather Report.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
When weather weathers, we weather the storm. We do weather
the storm, and the weather weathers, and the weather's been
weathering quite weatherly.

Speaker 23 (50:00):
Breaking Gulf Coast snow and ice from a once in
a lifetime storm paralyzing the region, turning parts of the
Deep South into a frozen tundra. South of Atlanta, authorities
finally reopening this stretch of I seventy five north of Atlanta,
icy chaos, drivers helplessly sliding and crashing, and in Louisiana,
authorities shutting down more than one hundred miles of the

(50:21):
crucial Interstate ten in both directions from Baton Rouge all
the way to the Texas state line.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yes, it is ugly out there, still cold.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Yesterday I went out, took the dogs out early in
the morning. It was one wind, chill was one. That's gold,
that's chili, but the South's not. I mean, I saw
something I never thought i'd see. Somebody was skating in
the canals. Not in Holland, which is very popular to do.
If you've ever seen that in the winter, the canals

(50:54):
freeze over in Holland.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
People will actually go to work that way.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
They'll throw on their ice skates and then they'll skate
to work, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Now, this was Louisiana, New Orleans.

Speaker 24 (51:05):
What typically with a rare southern snow, you don't have
much evidence of it a day or two later. Not
this time, record snow and record cold, extreme cold warnings
from Mobile to Tallahassee, cold weather advisories from New Orleans
all the way to Norfolk. So you're looking at wind
chills that they're going to be in the teens and twenties.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Teens and twenties.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
So that stuff stuck. And I was on yesterday. I
did Chicks on the Right. I filled in for a Daisy.
So Mack's out in South Carolina and she's like, Yeah,
it's snowing on the beach.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
That's apocalyptic.

Speaker 23 (51:41):
Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis said the other day that they
had eleven plows for the state. They've been taking some
out on loan. I mean Houston brought in some snowplows
from Wisconsin. A few different states that have been generous
enough to give some of their supply of snowplows. That
will help out a little bit. But I spent all
day in Tallahassee yesterday. I did not see a single snowplow.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
No, probably not three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three. At Chad Benson Show, it's your Twitter,

(52:27):
of the world freezes, California is still on fire.

Speaker 25 (52:32):
The Hughes Fire and Castaic north of La forcing thirty
thousand people to evacuate, including students from at least five schools.
The skies above turning orange.

Speaker 26 (52:42):
I was really scared because I thought I was gonna
get really hurt.

Speaker 25 (52:45):
Parts of the five Freeway had to be closed, the
flames consuming thirty acres per minute. Cruise last night said
they were gaining the upper hand, but wins up to
seventy five miles per hour forced officials to extend the
fire warning across the region into tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
Yeah, and that is has the potential again of getting worse.
Our buddy, Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
lives right there. We're going to talk to him, if
not a little bit later today tomorrow, depending on his situation.
But it is again, it's nature, and nature will do
what nature does, and as we all know, if nature
wants to, it'll mess you up.

Speaker 27 (53:19):
Tony Kapaio and his neighbors spending hours hosing down their homes.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
And I knew who's come this way. Amber's just gonna
shoot over this way.

Speaker 27 (53:27):
Thirty five thousand people under evacuation orders.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Got our dogs out, my niece, that's a baby that's
in here, We got her out.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
This fire just one up.

Speaker 27 (53:34):
Nearly a dozen new wildfires erupting over the past twenty
four hours in southern California.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
God willing cooler weather, some more humidity, and less wins
get these things under control.

But you never know.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
At least under this administration, the orders are flying in.

Speaker 28 (54:48):
Holy moly, there's a lot of confusion across the federal
workforce this morning about several of these orders. This one
on DEI calls for an end to all diversity, equity
and inclusion programs across the federal government, telling the employees
to work in such programs to stop working as of
five o'clock yesterday on paid administrative leave.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Man, that's good, you get it. You get a weight.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
You're already at home anyways, so it's like, don't come
into the office. That you don't come into.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Good, did you.

Speaker 28 (55:19):
The order was accompanied by a memo that went out
to federal employees telling them that sometimes these DEI programs
are hidden through quote coded or imprecise language, and it
directed federal employees to report anybody secretly working on such programs,
and then if they do not report such people, they
would have adverse consequences.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Adverse consequences.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
Do I think that we should have DEI programs that
don't I think we should be a merit based society.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
I think we should get people opportunities.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Of course, jeez, come on, I mean that's part of it.
Is it going to be perfect?

Speaker 2 (55:58):
No?

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Nothing ever is are some people going to feel slided?

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Absolutely? Is it going to be times where people are slided?

Speaker 29 (56:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's unfair.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
And there are going to be other times where people
are going to get chances that they should get based
on merit, based on ability, and they're going to excel
and that's what we want. At least that's what I thought.
I don't know about you, but they are freaking out
about it. And it does make me laugh because, just
like with immigration and everything else, he's doing exactly what

(56:29):
he said he was going to do, and why should
that be a surprise. But you don't understand, No, explain
it to me. What don't I understand?

Speaker 2 (56:37):
He's doing it? Yeah, but he said he was going
to do it, so are't you getting that? But it's
too late because he's doing it.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
That's what he said he was going to do. And
remember he's throwing a lot of things against the wall.
We'll see what sticks. The programs me may go away,
but do the people in these programs who are federal
employees go away? That's different story altogether. But there's all
kinds of confusions.

Speaker 20 (57:04):
Are those seederal employees going to ultimately lose their jobs?

Speaker 26 (57:07):
It essentially seems like they are going to be either
reassigned or basically laid off from their positions, Jake, What
we do know is right now they are not going
into the office because as of about sixteen minutes ago,
any employee who works on diversity, inclusion or equity initiatives
is not allowed to work, not allowed to report to
work and go into the federal government. They are paid leave.

(57:28):
I should note that's an important part of this. They
are still getting.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
Paid, which is good. And I settle down with going
to the office. We remind everybody that they haven't gone
to the office for a long time. People haven't been
reporting the office, and when they do it sparingly, So
let's just slow down on that.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
But they'll be reassigned because it's government.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
And the one thing we've talked about with all of
this stuff when it comes to the DOGE is these
unions have got ironclad contracts, they have got laws that
have been passed that protect them specifically, and so more
than likely they're going to be just reassigned.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
That's it, no more, no less. What people will freak
out about my daughter. Let me say this, I'm so
proud of her.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
The other day she's six, because we were actually talking,
my wife and I were talking about this and and
she was sitting there and she goes, what's diversy equity? Conclusion?
And I just I told her, I said, look, here's
the thing. And then I went into a really big
rant about no, she's six. I'm like, it's just something

(58:40):
that grown ups do to make themselves.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Feel better, that's all it is. She goes, oh.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
I said, diversity is is good, like when we go
to church, right, you have friends who are black, and
you have friends who are are are are you know Latino?
You have friends you know, you know. And I just
I kind of walked her through that as best that
you could because you're dealing with a six year old.
And I said, an inclusion is a good thing. Means you,

(59:08):
you and all your friends get to play together. You
include them in the game. And she's like yeah, and
I said, but equity is the stupid part. And she
looked at me and I said, and I kind of
broke it down to her, like you what a six
year old? I said, Okay, here's the thing. You and
d ed that's her sister. Name is Lily, but she
calls her DDI. I said, could you imagine if you

(59:31):
did all the work in the house and Dede did
nothing because they get their little allowances. And I said,
and I gave her half your allowance essentially, And she goes, oh,
I wouldn't like that. I said, that's what that is again.
Six You're explaining to a six year old in a

(59:52):
way that I wouldn't expect her to get it all.
And I don't want her to have to talk about
stuff like that. I try to keep my job as
quiet as possible from her. She just knows they talk
into a microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
But she asked the question, so I gave it to her.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Here you go three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter, tweet
edis text the program. She also asked me about immigration,
illegal immigration. I said, so imagine, Dora, you didn't do that, Jed, No,
that'd be great. Though it's a good way to describe it.
I'll tell you that right now. Speaking of immigration, the

(01:00:31):
Lincoln Riley Bill has passed mar and I I think
it's a good bill. Is it perfect nothing ever is
are there some serious questions I have with it?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Absolutely there is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
But it got support from like almost fifty Democrats in
the House.

Speaker 30 (01:00:53):
We have lost a number of lives across our country.
So whether it's from futanol who reduces or whether it
is the tragedy that occurred to Lincoln Riley or Rachel
Marin or Jocelyn Nungary or a countless number of people.
And so today we said we hear you to the
American people, and we not only hear you, but weave.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Sprung into action, not even know if you've sprung in
the action. It makes you seem like you're superman. I
am a little conflicted on this, and I'll tell you
why they can hold you no matter what the crime
is just has to be an accusation. You don't even
have to be charged.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
With the crime.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
And this is where it gets a little weird, because
for me, I could go, I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Why they're holding you. Shouldn't you be charged with a crime.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
We'll hold on a second, because if that's going to
be the test of it, woke das may not charge
people they know they should charge out of fear of
them being deported. And you're like, oh, so there we
go with that one. Then you say, well, okay, I

(01:02:10):
can see that. But then on the other side of it,
I don't want people to be accused of something held
in perpetuity.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Before they're charged, if they're ever charged waiting for ice.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
You're like, oh, okay, I could see that. Then on
the other side, you're like, well, shouldn't there at least
be a conviction? Yeah, I get that, But then the
conviction side is, well, then they're going to be here
because we're not going to convict somebody of something and
then toss them out of the country giving them the
chance to come right back here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
So what does it look like?

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
I mean, these are all the things that have to
be answered, and it's frustrating because common sense should say,
if you're charged with a crime, you can be held.
If you're accused of a crime but there are no charges,
how long are you helped for?

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Yeah? See, see it's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
Not that simple, because the beauty of our country is
we are a nation of laws and we should respect
those laws and people deserve due process. So where is
the common sense in that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Hmm? That is interesting, very very interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
And then, like I said, if you convict somebody, Let's
say you convict somebody of a heinous violent crime, rape,
something like that. We're not going to immediately toss you
out of the country because in doing that, you're going
to be free in the other country to just turn
around and come straight back. So do we put them

(01:03:58):
in jail on our time, hold them in prison, and
then release them to their country? All these questions I
like to know what what the you know, the unintended
consequences are, What does it really look like? I love
the spirit of the bill, which is, hey, some of
these people who've done heinous things, had done and been
accused and even charged with heinous things. What the hell

(01:04:19):
are they doing out of jail? So we'll see how
this goes. Lots of opposition from, of course, some of
the wha could do left, which, again the spirit of
it is people who do bad things, who've come here illegally,
should be punished and shouldn't be rewarded with Staying that

(01:04:41):
being said, everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
Deserves due process.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):

Speaker 17 (01:06:06):
Joe serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 31 (01:06:20):
It's Chad Benson, Hello, exciting and you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
I love cruising, but I have to be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
We expecting this would have shocked me. And I've seen
a lot of.

Speaker 32 (01:06:48):
Things on a PANDO cruise liner. In December, staff members
in dress up parade across the pool deck to at
least some applause, but many are horror.

Speaker 29 (01:06:59):
Fy, scary, hand offensive.

Speaker 32 (01:07:01):
Yeah, saying they are a clear resemblance of the white
supremacist far right hate.

Speaker 11 (01:07:07):
Group the ku Klux Klan.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
Oh that looks very very like something.

Speaker 32 (01:07:12):
Of the company says the parade was part of a
Christmas themed cruise event and they were dressed as upside
down snow cones.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Snow cones of hate. This was not planned well, so
the video really went viral yesterday. If you've not seen.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
It, it's a you know, it's it's a cruise if
you've ever been on a cruise.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
First of all, they're interesting, they're fun, They're a petri
dish of disease and apparently hate. So like there's eight
or ten of them that come out on the deck
and they look like they're clans members, and I thought,

(01:07:54):
what the hell is going on?

Speaker 29 (01:07:57):
Come on, no one can see seriously think that was
their intentions. Our housekeeping crew were dressed as snowcone.

Speaker 32 (01:08:05):
The cruise liner says crew are from different cultures and
had never heard of the KKK now were very apologetic.

Speaker 29 (01:08:12):
Look, we accept this should not have happened and we
take responsibility for it. Our housekeeping crew were so distressed
when they realized what their outfits could symbolize.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Yeah, look, it's sad that we have to play this
dog and pony show where everybody's got to go put
out some sort.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Of giant statement.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
It's evident that you guys didn't know, and the shock
on people's faces was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
But nobody knew, like nobody knew.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
And if you've ever been on a cruise, man, you
meet people from like especially people that work there because
it's their adventure, right. So you've got people from Nigeria,
You've got people from you know, when I was on
a cruise, I was talking to somebody who is from
Laos and Romania. They're from all over the place and
they're out there and these people think they're a snow cone.
They have no idea. But there was nobody, not a

(01:09:10):
soul that was an American, Canadian, or even a European.
They went, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, let's not do this.
Let's not no, this will be no no no, no,
no no, let's let's let's let's not do this. I'm

(01:09:31):
telling you as a friend, this is a poor idea. No,
but we're snow going. No no, no, no, you're not
snow cones. You're a hate group. That's what you look like.
What do you mean we're snow cones. It's Christmas. We're
upside down. No no, no, no, no, no, no no,
you're a snow cone of hate. If that's what you want,

(01:09:51):
this is gonna be filmed. It's going to go everywhere.
So I'm gonna give you my two cents.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
Don't do it.

Speaker 32 (01:10:00):
English is a second language they've obviously misinterpreted.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Most people should know about it. It's common history.

Speaker 32 (01:10:07):
Pino Cruises says the crew live and work at sea,
so they weren't able to shop for fancy dress items
and had to make do with limited resources. Experts in
tackling hate say, regardless of the intent, the action still causes.

Speaker 33 (01:10:23):
Harm clearly and elicits strong negative emotionals.

Speaker 32 (01:10:28):
Hoping it was not a prank but a terrible mistake,
which is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
What it was.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Right the p and O Cruz or any cruise lines, Like,
I got a great idea halfway through our cruise with
everybody filming, let's all come dressed up as.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
Klansmen. And I like how they say our crew lives
and works at sea.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Yeah, yeah, that's true, but they should have an understanding
of some of this just a smitch, Like I wouldn't
understand Americans to know about a hate group in let's
just say, let's just you pick a country in eastern Europe, right, Like,

(01:11:13):
so let's pick, uh, you know, the Czech Republic.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
If there's a hate group there.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
I wouldn't expect Americans to know all of those things. Okay,
that's fair, But we're America and we're way different than say,
the Czech Republic. The symbolism of stuff that comes out
of America is pretty well known, the movies, the television shows,

(01:11:43):
we can go on and on. Somebody there should have said, hey, hey,
let's not but they didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
And alas the Clan Cruise began three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
At Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter twet Atstexi program.
We love hearing from all of you right here on
the Chad Benson Show. Coming up third hour, more on
the battle of immigration cities States verse the United States government.

Speaker 34 (01:12:22):
I think the States will have very very strong arguments
that they don't need to cooperate. They can obstruct, but
they don't need to cooperate it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:30):
I'm a big States rights guy, but when it comes
to immigration, this is the one thing that the United
States government has as their duty, which is to protect us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
And to deal with immigration.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
And I think we need to have a serious conversation
about what the hell is going to happen. Reach out
to us across all of our social media. If you're
mistening to the show, grab the podcast. It is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
Trump is doing what he said he was going to do.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
And people are still shocked about. Okay, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
First and foremost, he's done a lot of executive actions
and orders.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
Doesn't mean all of them are going to pan out.
But the troops going to the border that is happening.

Speaker 33 (01:13:51):
This is really a show of forests by the Trump
administration along the US Sothern border. There are already troops
who are helping US border patrol along the border, so
this is going to be in addition to that with
those fifteen hundred and perhaps more to follow.

Speaker 20 (01:14:05):
So what are they going to do well.

Speaker 33 (01:14:06):
They're going to be focused on operational readiness, on augmenting
air operations, on providing intelligence support when it comes to
assessing threats and the flow of migrants. A lot of
work that can be done and is often done behind
the scenes. But in addition to all of that, they
are also sending military aircraft today to San Diego and
to al Paso to repatriate those who are already in

(01:14:29):
border patrol customers.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
Damn skippy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
We can be empathetic, we can have an understanding, or
we talk about all the time. Any one of us
in that situation is doing the same damn thing, trying
to get your ass to the golden ticket that is
in America.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
But it has to stop. It has gotten out of hand.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
And this is as much about optics as anything else.
There are things they're going to be able to do.
But remember so much of what was going on. And
when I used to talk to my friends, and I
talked to coupleman yesterday who were by the way, They're like,
it is a different vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Border patrol wise. They're like, I mean, they're just feeling it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
They got energy because they feel like stuff's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
We could do stuff now.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Our job is no longer to be an intake with
a high five and a slap on the ass, welcome
to our country. It's about doing the job, and they're
excited about that. My buddy said, Dude, I was essentially
a data taker. I would go out within a little

(01:15:44):
while being out there, we would either most of the
time people would surrender. Sometimes we'd have to chase. We'd
get somebody, and then the rest of the night it
was paperwork and it was facilitating certain things, knowing full
well that all I did was really just take a
name and slow somebody down from wherever the hell they

(01:16:05):
were going. Now they feel like they've got something and
some of this stuff, which is you know, you've got
the National Guard that's there in some areas, but some
of this stuff is going to be it's going to
help them get back out there much quicker, which is important.

Speaker 33 (01:16:22):
That would mean those recent border crossers who can be
quickly repatriated to their origin country, So they will be
using military aircraft to do that. Now, the border is
relatively quiet. I'm told that there are just between eleven
hundred to thirteen hundred crossings a day. That is far
below when it was six thousand, eighty twelve thousand before.

(01:16:44):
So this is going to be a way to augment
support along the US southern border. But it also comes
at a time when crossings are lower than where they've
been before, and also as the administration has essentially sealed
off the border to asylum seekers.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
Yeah, and by the way, you're not sealed off. That
is disingenuous. What are you supposed to do if you're
an asylum seeker? Okay, so if you're in Mexico and
you are fleeing for your life, you've President Shinbam has
vowed to kill you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Right, this is all hypothetical. I don't think she would
do that. I'm just putting it out.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
Vowed to get you and yours and lock you up
for eternity for having a differing opinion.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
You feel your.

Speaker 3 (01:17:35):
Political outcasts soon to be a prisoner, you must get
to safety. Well, the first place you come is America.
You're allowed to do that. You can apply for asylum
and come across if you are traveling from Venezuela, if
you're traveling from whatever stand and you travel through a

(01:17:59):
dozen countries, you can still apply for asylum.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
You just have to wait to Mexico. The person in
Mexico can come over here to apply for asylum because
that's the first safe place that they've arrived.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
You're supposed to apply once you exit the place you
believe you're being persecuted and you get to a place
of what is safety, that's where you apply and then
you wait. So the asylum process is just actually being implemented.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Rather than ignored.

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
And speaking of ignoring, we head to sanctuary cities because
the battle of the sanctuary city is about to begin.

Speaker 33 (01:18:47):
I have been targeting sanctuary cities or the course of
the campaign, but even during Donald Trump's first term. These
are cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement authorities
and other words for they do not or they limit
their information sharing with those authorities. Now, as you mentioned,
Tom Homan has often criticized them, and as has the President.

(01:19:08):
He mentioned them during an interview with Sean Hannity last night,
suggesting that he would keep federal federal funding from those cities, which.

Speaker 6 (01:19:16):
Will you get rid of them?

Speaker 21 (01:19:17):
Were kind of end them in a lot of the
people in those communities don't want them.

Speaker 11 (01:19:21):
You know, California is a big exam at off their money.
I might have to do that sometimes that's the only
thing you can do.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Sometimes that is now the way you cut off money,
obviously is federal money. Any money that's been allocated already,
So the money disn't pledged for the fiscal year that
started in you know, October or whatever, that goes all
the way through till the end of September, that money
you can't withhold that's already pledged.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
That that's the law.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
After that, though, is when you can start to say no, no.
And isn't it weird that we have this situation where
it's the city and state versus the federal.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
That's not weird.

Speaker 3 (01:20:11):
But the weird part is the federal government has very
few things they're supposed to do and they're supposed to
manage and immigration that is like the most defining thing
in the States.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Are like no we're not going to listen to you.
So what do you think of that?

Speaker 35 (01:20:31):
Now?

Speaker 33 (01:20:31):
He made a similar threat during his first term. This
could be detrimental to cities and states, particularly in moments
of natural disaster. See California as an example of that,
as they have fought these fires. But this effort is
already underway, perhaps in other ways, which is to say,
the Justice Department sending out a memo yesterday saying that

(01:20:53):
they would threaten, or rather they would the plans to
crack down on immigration if state and local officials do
not help in those plans, if they get in the
way of those plans, they threaten to prosecute those state
and local officials. So you can start to see how
their plans are coming together to go after these cities
which they have said get in the way of their

(01:21:16):
immigration enforcement goals.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
And that right there is important get in the way.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
There's a difference between.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
I don't know, I'm not going to help you, I
don't got any information on that, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
No, you can't have them. We will not do something.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Where you're harboring, you're hiding, you are trying to impede
an investigation, and or a situation where you may apprehend somebody.

Speaker 34 (01:21:45):
I think the states will have very very strong arguments
that they don't need to cooperate. They can obstruct, but
they don't need to cooperate.

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
It it's important you cannot obstruct. But the cooperation side
of stuff, yeah, you don't have to, you don't. But
will they Some cities will, Some cities won't. Some cities
will fight the fight because that is what they are

(01:22:15):
going to do, because.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Trump is evil, Trump is bad, etc. Etc.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
Other places, even in a place like California, are like, no,
we're not a sanctuary city.

Speaker 36 (01:22:25):
Huntington Beach declaring itself as a non sanctuary city Tuesday
after a unanimous vote by the city council in favor
of the proposal introduced by Mayor Pat Burns. The designation
subverts a state law known as the California Values Act,
or SB fifty four, which limits local authorities' ability to
cooperate with federal immigration officials. The state law does have

(01:22:48):
exceptions for violent crimes, sex abuse, and felonies. Huntington Beach
is currently challenging SB fifty four for the second time
since twenty eighteen in a lawsuit filed earlier this month.

Speaker 3 (01:23:01):
And you hear that quote unquote, well, there's some exceptions
that never seems to happen, does it. That's why we
got the Lincoln Riley Bill, and that's why last hour
I did have some issues with it because you would think, well,
that seems to be about right. But when it comes
to the sanctuary cities and it comes to these sanctuary states,

(01:23:23):
they in many cases have ignored ICE's call to basically
hand over somebody you have, we know, in custody. On
top of that, orders to remove. If somebody was in custody,

(01:23:43):
would you hand over that person who have an order
to be removed because they went through the asylum process.
They tried on several occasions through the quote unquote proper.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
Channels and they were denied. That person needs to leave.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
If we are not going to enforce the laws that
everybody says, well, should give everybody due process and give
them their chance, then they go and you didn't like
the outcome of it, and you're like, no, we're not
going to do it, then what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
What are we doing? So I expect there will be
a martyr or two, because you know that's what the
left will make them out to be. Who will.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Impede and or ignore and or do something to a
virtue signal and b raise their profile. You know they will,
oh absolutely three two three, five three eight, twenty four
to twenty three Atch you. I bets the show, show, Twitter,

I Nashville school shooting touched on that throughout the show.
Just a horrible situation and seeing as I'm in the
midst of it all out here in Nashville, It's on
the air yesterday and again, how and I got it
a bit wrong, man. I thought, oh, this kid, you know,

(01:27:23):
sounded like a lover's quarrel. It was not talk about
that in a little bit. Russia Ukraine War? What did
Trump sign? Baron Trump Kai Trump, All Things trending and
Yahoo over to Twitter, m RNA.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):

over to Google. No more trending thing yesterday was the
antiox shooting. Equal employment opportunity at US presidents orders? What

(01:28:23):
has he ordered America to do? It's again, the the
chaos that goes with so much. Is it what Trump
does or is it the reaction to what Trump does?

Speaker 2 (01:28:37):
To me, I think it's the reaction of what Trump
does that is so insane.

Speaker 3 (01:28:44):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter? Tweet at
us text the program, check us out on YouTube. As
well Chad Benson Show TV right here on the Ched
Benson Show. Yeah, that shooting yesterday, I was on the air,
and you know, finding.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
Out information.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
In a situation that it starts to happen is tough because,
as I was saying to the people in Tennessee, we
live in a time of instantaneous I want to know,
what's the social media?

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
What is this about? I said, By the sounds of it,
it sounds like a lover's quarrel. But turns out it
wasn't that that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
This kid had some dark, hateful thoughts in.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Serious issues.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
Some of his writings, and he had writings in several
different places, praised Cantice Own as his biggest inspiration. Also
had tons of anti Semitic writings. He was black, and
he said he hated being black. There's no doubt this
kid was absolutely disturbed and had a lot of issues.

(01:30:04):
We'll find out more, I'm sure in the subsequent days,
but as is everything in today's world, this will be
off everybody's mind by the weekend because we'll find a new,
shiny thing to follow. That's just the way that the
world works now and how fast things go.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
If you miss any of the show. I say, shame on,
you grabbed the podcast. It is for Chad Benson's.

Speaker 14 (01:30:30):
Show such Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:08):
The Chad Benson Shell.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
Ladies and Gentlemen. We didn't get to everything we need
to do. Woke wise, yes, or there's so much stuff.
I like a good bit of insanity. Who does it right?
How many genders?

Speaker 38 (01:31:27):
Again?

Speaker 11 (01:31:28):
So, how do you kind of feel about Trump saying
they're two genders? Well, that's just like false.

Speaker 38 (01:31:32):
So I'm gender fluid. So that means that sometimes I
feel like presenting female and sometimes I feel like presenting
male or non binary. Gender and sects are different things.
So gender there's a huge spectrum. If you say like
there's two sexes, like, there's a lot of gray area.
So he's just not very knowledgeable about the stuff he's

(01:31:54):
talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
He's not very knowledgeable. Okay, continue because well.

Speaker 38 (01:32:00):
Why not having Trump as a president again makes me
feel insecure, It makes me feel threatened, and it also
makes me concerned about the future of our country and
makes me concerned about my future because I'm directly affected
by the policies that he's putting in.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
Place, and what are those I think it's an important
question because not the gay community. It's not lesbians aren't
freaking out. I mean they may not like Trump for
a myriad of reasons. A lot of people don't like Trump,
a lot of people love Trump. But what are the
specific things. Well, the number one thing is for a

(01:32:39):
person like this is he calls BS on your delusions
in the game that you play. That's I'm gender fluid today,
I feel like a boy. Tomorrow I may feel like
a girl today. No, sorry, he calls BS. That's a
mental illness. If you've flipping and flopping back and forth.
If I said today I feel like Caesar and since

(01:33:03):
tomorrow I feel like Nobodion, you'd be like, dude, what
the hell is wrong with you? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
This has always been about the kids. They don't want
to admit that. Here's the reality.

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
These nonprofit activist groups were set up to fight the
good fight in their mind for equality, marriage equality, equality
be recognized, protected in the workplace, all the stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
And they did what they were supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
But then all of a sudden, once you get protections
in the workplace, once you get the marriage equality, well
that was what.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
We were here for.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Yeah, but I don't want to lose my job. Well,
let's find something else to fight the good fight for.
I can guarantee you tomorrow if we got the homeless
crisis solved, do you think the homeless places would shudder?

(01:34:14):
Or do you think they just move into something else
that they could advocate for because they're victim farming. They're
looking for groups, people, individuals, whatever that they could go, Oh,
look something we can do.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Let's gravitate towards that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
Let's farm out their issues there, whatever it is, they're
perceived slights and will turn.

Speaker 2 (01:34:46):
A profit doing it. That's what this is all about.

Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
The gays aren't hiding, the lesbians aren't turning in their
suparoos and not doing anything. You said, supers, I know,
I know, but you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
Would it be funny? Drum's like? And lesbians can have
super rus like?

Speaker 39 (01:35:11):
No, no, it's you can't tell a seven year old
at school you can pick the gender you want to
be thanks to the genderbread man, and uh, don't tell
mommy and daddy, And here's a bunch of hormones.

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
And if they don't like it, they could be in trouble.
You went after kids. That's what changed. If you're twenty
seven and you want to go the full Monty knock
yourself out. But if you're twenty seven, non binary, sometimes lesbian,

(01:35:51):
part time nut job, and you want to tell a
nine year old that what they're feeling is they're in
the wrong body and if we don't do what you say,
that child may kill themselves. So pump them full of
body altering hormones and when they get a little bit older,

(01:36:16):
lop some stuff off. Well, that's when we have a problem, kids,
that's when we have a problem. Speaking of problems, that's
the way I did that January sixth, still there. The
left is never going to let it go. If it

(01:36:37):
was working, I would say, okay, don't but it's not working.
Nobody's paying attention, nobody is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
Will they let people out? I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
Did a vast majority of those people serve way too
much time?

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Yes, yes, one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
If you didn't break anything, you didn't steal anything, you
didn't bust into offices and do horrific things in somebody's desk,
you didn't fight punch kick cops, you should have got
a ticket and they should have said don't be a dumbass,
and we moved on with our life.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
But they're not gonna let it go. They have.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
No want to let it go because it's the one
thing they feel like we've truly got moral superiority over
these evil Republicans because they tried to start a coup.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):
It's not true, and everybody knows that. That being said,
it's not working.

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
If it was working, like I said, keep at it, guys, right,
if it's totally working, like if you're playing sports and
you know that your receiver is gonna eat up this dB,
they can't stop it. Throw the ball to him every
time until they prove otherwise, Well this this ain't working.

Speaker 6 (01:38:09):
What happened to backing police officers? You're part of it,
says time and again we back the blue. It sounds
like you let down the blue. You're betraying the blue.

Speaker 9 (01:38:18):
Dan, Why don't you just give an editorial and not
let me come on? Look what happened in the last
four years with police? What happened with all the riots
that took place all across the country. Police officers were murdered,
courthouses were burned, Over twenty two police cars were burned,
Yet no one went to jail for that.

Speaker 6 (01:38:34):
Where's your crocodile engage for that. Now you're engaging the games.
You're engaging the game in a game of what about ism?

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
No, No, those are all what he said was all true?
So what about ism?

Speaker 3 (01:38:49):
Because while that was all going on, remember it was
mostly peaceful at the time, and you didn't want to
talk about all of that stuff. You only want to
talk about which you want to talk about, and that
is Well, there's Republicans, all these people that are bad,
all these people that were that were awful, all these
people who hate cops and America and want to overthrow it,

(01:39:12):
which we know is a bunch of bunk and bs.
I'm not saying there weren't some people there that needed
to absolutely pay the price for what they did. You
acted on your own behalf and you did things that
you shouldn't have done. You should absolutely be punished for it.
Now there is a thought that were some of them
over punished that even got longer periods of time they

(01:39:34):
did some stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
Yeah, there was.

Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
But again, if this was working for the Democrats and
for the media, I would say have had it more.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
But it ain't.

Speaker 6 (01:39:44):
People were every what we're doing at CNN. We didn't
stewary the capital. These people did, and President Trump let
them out of jail. Why not just say you were wrong?
Mister President say it? Why can't you say it?

Speaker 2 (01:40:01):
Why would he say it?

Speaker 3 (01:40:03):
You're only interested in getting him to say something that
you want him to affirm your belief because he sees
something differently, and you want him to look like a
schmuck in front of Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
You're not interested in the truth. You're not.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
If it was working, i'd say run with it. But
it isn't working, and it hasn't and it won't anytime soon.

Joe irreverence Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Ship.

Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
She's the mayor of a very big city. She's not
a good speller, ladies and gentlemen. The mayor of Philadelphia,
the mayor of the place that has one of the
best NFL football teams fighting for a birth in the
Super Bowl. Oh you know who I'm talking about, that team,

(01:42:25):
the one that flies, right, Mayor Parker, let me hear.

Speaker 41 (01:42:30):
You all saying, he ow ge he me s megs.

Speaker 2 (01:42:38):
Let's go birth What wait? What spell that again for me?

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
I mean Philadelphia going to the Super Bowl, potentially playing
Washington this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
It's gonna be awesome NFC Championship game.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Mayor.

Speaker 2 (01:42:59):
I don't think I heard you right, and.

Speaker 3 (01:43:00):
I don't want to get this wrong because I'm not
great at spelling either.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Spell that name for me one more time for the Eagles.

Speaker 41 (01:43:06):
Let me hear you all saying, he ow gee mes egles,
let's go Birds.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
Is that how you spell it? E hed hell e
he all?

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Oh, you were missing a very important letter. She's not
great at spelling. It's okay, she apologized. She's like, look,
I never promised perfection. How could I after misspelling the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
It's okay. We're gonna give you a pass on this one.
I'm not a strong speller.

Speaker 3 (01:43:50):
Speaking of sports, you've heard about the high profile robberies
of athletes who, while playing games away from home on
national television have their houses robbed.

Speaker 14 (01:44:04):
Burrow Sideline Chase spell touchdown Bengals.

Speaker 35 (01:44:10):
On December ninth, Burrow was on the field for the
Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football for all the world
to see. While Burrow was playing, his home was ransacked.
A bedroom window shattered, shattered.

Speaker 3 (01:44:23):
So you know how long you got right, Either they're
not in the state because they're playing somewhere else, or
you know exactly where the guy is because of the TV. Yeah.

Speaker 35 (01:44:38):
Burrow one of a number of athletes victim to a
string of robberies. Now four Chilean nationals facing charges after
they were apprehended by an Ohio State Highway patrolman who
spotted suspicious luggage being carried to a vehicle outside a hotel.
According to court records, the officer pulling the car over
three of the four men inside, allegedly presenting fake IDs.

(01:44:59):
Upon search the vehicle, the officer says he discovered tools
which burglars use to break glass, along with an old
shirt from LSU, where Burrows starred in college, and a
Bengals hat, both believed to have been taken from Burrough's home.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
And this has gone on across the country.

Speaker 3 (01:45:15):
And it is not so much a situation where it's
like we can go rob this house and take some
good ease. It is far more sophisticated than that. Yes,
you rob the house, you take the goodies, but there's
an endgame to it that again sophistication.

Speaker 42 (01:45:31):
They many times will bring false passports with them to
go open bank accounts, and once they can do that whatever,
they can turn stolen goods into cash, then then wire
the money back to their homeland and then they leave.

Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
How dare you go after some of our most revered
people in this country?

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
How dare you?

Speaker 3 (01:45:55):
But it also shows the sophistication of some of these groups,
and we've seen that with a shoplifting and how there's
cartels of people that go and do that. I mean,
this is crazy, but we caught one group. Now, on
to the next. Speaking of on to the next. Tomorrow,
we're gonna be breaking down the razzies, which are the

(01:46:16):
kind of movies that I would probably watch. But today
The Oscar goes to.

Speaker 20 (01:46:25):
Amelia Perez leads and Oscar nominations this year, with thirteen
in total. The Spanish language musical about a transgender former
drug kingpin was nominated for Best Picture and Best International
Feature was also recognized for lead actress Carlo Sophia Gascon. Meanwhile,
The Brutalist, a three and a half hour epic about
the post war immigrant experience, got nominations for lead actor

(01:46:47):
Adrian Brody and supporting actor Guy Pearce. It tied with
Wicked with ten nominations.

Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
I remind you, guys of the fact that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
Somebody green lit that movie Amelia Perez, about a trans
gender drug kingpin.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
Who is now living her authentic life, and it's a musical.
Who the f is that for?

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Who tell me? Tell me who's that for? I would
love to know. I know of nobody who would even think, Oh,
that sounds like a movie I want to see. Even
some of my friends who are pretty damn woke, are like,

(01:47:50):
what the hell is that? Oh God, who'd you make
that for? Out of curiosity? Oh you're curious? Or yes
I am, I'm damn curious, are you gonnas? I am
not going to see it. I had no idea it
was out until a month or two ago, or even

(01:48:11):
what it was about.

Speaker 2 (01:48:13):
Then when I saw the trailer, I thought, what in
God's name is this?

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
It's a musical on top of a turd sandwich, which
makes it a double turn sandwich again.

Speaker 2 (01:48:27):
Tomorrow we'll go through the razzies. Those are the kind
of movies that I.

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
