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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Chaos, craziness, dogs, cats living together in peace and harmony,
fish falling from the sky, the world coming to an end. No,
but that's what the left and the media want you
to believe. Trump has something right now that he didn't
have when he first took office in twenty sixteen. It
was kind of Trump against the media in the world.

(00:38):
He's got something now though, that he didn't have, where
a vast majority of the arrows aren't flying at Trump,
but they're flying at his wingman, Elon Musk. Let's be real,
the media is freaking out more at times, and the
left with Elon Musk than they are with Donald Trump.

(01:00):
If you would have taken away the ridiculous we're going
to take over Gaza thing the other day, it would
be ninety nine percent about Elon Musk. And that's where
this is so much different compared to when he took

(01:20):
over Originally. He's better prepared than all of that stuff.
But he's got a wingman now. Now. At some point
in time, do I think they're going to clash, Yes,
But at this moment in time, the chaos, the craziness
and all of that other stuff, the circus much of
it is around Elon and that's got to feel nice.

(01:41):
Takes a little pressure off the likes of Trump, so
he goes about doing his thing.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Nothing wrong with looking for waste and the kinds of
bureaucracy that exists. I think we can do a whole
lot to get rid of the waste, to fraud, the
excessive bureaucracy that he's in government, especially by the way,
in the Defense Department. What is wrong right now is
one simple reality. What Musk is doing is illegal and unconstitutional.

(02:13):
You cannot go into an agency like USAID and essentially
fire everybody and get rid of that agency.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, he's not firing anybody. He's not an elected official.
He is much like the people at USAID, by the way.
He is a person who is giving recommendations of which
Donald Trump is taking too heart and very seriously to
look and see what is out there that needs to
be cut. And that's nothing wrong with that. No, Chad,

(02:44):
he's actually firing the people. The media is going to
make you believe that he's the devil, and he's okay
with that. I mean, he loves control as much as anybody.
I think last night, what did I see last night?
On his Twitter. I think you put White House tech support.

(03:05):
That's what he does now. Yeah, I mean, look, I
have some questions. I don't want him running willy nilly
all over the place doing stuff. I was joking last
night to my uncle and I were chatting, I think,
you know, at this point in time, I feel like
he's just wandering around the White House. Just what are
you doing? S hanging out? Brought some friends over that

(03:25):
being said, everyon got mad because he exposed something with
USAID and the left freaked out and everybody's like, it
was my favorite agency. I just loved it. I couldn't.
Oh my god, it's the greatest. It was my age,
it was my favorite one. I can't believe he's doing this,
and he exposed all the crap that's going on in there.
And as we said over the last couple of days,

(03:48):
hey read the room, guys, right, read the room. You
guys gotta start doing better because you're awful at this.
You've got to figure out what America's temperature is if
you want things to change, and the temperature right now
is cold towards you. You're failing at this. You're not

(04:11):
understanding the Left in particular, the Wakaduo's out there who
are like, you know this warm people are gonna die
blah blah blah blah. Those people are losing their blanking minds.
Those people out there, who are they fighting for. They're
fighting for big government and the administrative state and free

(04:33):
handouts and goodies. You're mad at the Messenger because he
exposed you and all of this insanity to everybody else,
and you thought everybody was gonna be fine with. God
knows how many millions for condoms for the Taliban, God
knows how many millions millions for a puppet show in
the Middle East, to you know, ridiculous amounts of money

(04:57):
towards silly things. When America is going eggs are super
expensive and the waffle house is charging a surcharge for
each egg you buy. That's got my gears in a bind.
I don't think we need a puppet show to advance
transgender issues in areas that quite frankly, they're not fans

(05:21):
of the transgender folks or the gays. So why don't
we just leave them to do their thing and take
them that money and spend it here or put it
towards our debt or whatever. This is not the hill
to die on it is it more from Bannie.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
You cannot do That's an agency that was created by Congress.
They want to get rid of the Usaid. Fine, come
to the Congress, make your case. You can't do it, unilattery.
You cannot withhold US funds that were appropriated for Medicaid,
for community health centers, for headstock. Cannot put a freeze

(06:01):
on that. That money was appropriated by the Congress. And
I hope every fourth grader in American knows Congress holds
the purse strings.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
No they don't, because if you're paying any attention, our
kids can't read, so they probably don't know that. Bernie
also a problem. He's right about that. But Trump is
doing something where he's throwing everything against the wall to
sing what stick? Just throw it against the wall, Let's
see what sticks. Read a great op ed piece. I

(06:33):
need to find it and post it, kind of comparing
what FDR did when he took over. And I know
the Democrats like, how could you even say those two things?
What Trump's doing now, they're going in the opposite directions
as far as what they're trying to do with government.
FDR believed there wasn't enough government. There wasn't enough federal government.

(06:55):
It needed to expand and be in people's lives so
it could help people. And so for his first hundred
days it was at least at that time chaos because
it was I'm going to do all of these things
for executive order, go go, go, go, go to expand government,
which he did. Trump's doing the exact opposite. He's doing

(07:18):
a ton of executive orders to try to shrink government.
And yes, he can't just dissolve this. Nobody said it's
going to be dissolved. But could it fold into another agency,
say the State Department. Yeah, I think it could, and
I think it will because there are some good things
it does, despite what some people say. But there's also

(07:41):
some stuff in there that is very very interesting and
we're going to touch on a little bit later. When
it comes to money that was put in there for
I don't know, eight million dollars in subscriptions for Politico, Why, well,
this is political pro check. You don't even understand something.

(08:01):
It allows people when they subscribe, to look at all
of the bills and to go through all of these
bills and to get a you know, really an understanding
of stuff. Yeah, use AI. It's cheaper. Do you guys
not know anything about password sharing? Probably not? Probably not.
You guys probably struggle with that you can password share.

(08:24):
That's all I'm saying. Yesterday Trump got impeached. No, yep,
he did. He did. Al Green, not the great singer,
but the Wackado congress person, brought articles of impeachment. And
I'm looking up the articles of impeachment. I cannot find
this anywhere in the articles of impeachment.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the
President has begun. I rise to announce that I will
bring articles of impeachments against the President for deathly deeds
proposed and destardly deeds done.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Now I am looking at the articles of impeachment. That
would be Article two, Section four. The President, vice President,
all civil officers of the United States shall be removed
from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery,

(09:26):
or other high crimes and misdemeanors. And uh, al, what again,
what are you going to go after him with destardly deeds?
Dastardly deeds. I'm gonna check that again. A conviction of
treason bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors. No, no, dastardly
deeds is not in there. Neither is Muttley. Remember that

(09:49):
show Wacky Racers, Dick Dastardly and his dog Muttley read
the room, guys, This is an working the way you
thought it was, Mike Johnson yesterday.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party truly is seemingly lost. They have
no rudder, they have no vision, they have no clear leader.
The only message they have is anti President Trump. And
we've all seen that that's a failed strategy time after time.
And it's not just rhetoric. I mean this week, Democratic
leadership sent a letter to their members that you all
saw that the media characterized as a war plan to

(10:23):
take on President Trump. In the letter, the Democrats laid
out the foundation for a government shut down. That's their plan.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Their plan is Trump bad, everything bad, based on their beliefs,
once again, not taking the temperature, not reading the room.
Part of being a great politician, a great salesman, part
of being a great anything is having an understanding of people.

(10:53):
And if your entire focus against Trump is He's bad,
He's evil. January sixth, it's not going to work. It's
going to fail, and it's going to continue to fail
because alas you've not changed, you've not learned, and if

(11:16):
you do not learn from your mistakes, you will continue
to make mistakes. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your
Twitter tweet at us text the program. A lot of
stuff to get to today. We're going to tell you
guys about how to save money when it comes to eggs,
So be prepared for that. Eggs. There's plenty of eggs everywhere. No,

(11:39):
there's not, Chad, I know, I know there's not I
was joking. There's not a lot of eggs. That's the problem.

buyout day in the government. What will happen? Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Guess what it's buyout day? What it's buy out today
in the government.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Nearly two million federal government workers face a deadline today
to take a buyout from the Trump administration or risk
being fired. At least forty thousand government employees have already
accepted the buyout, representing about two percent of the federal workforce.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh my god, it's like nobody's there just in say,
watching people freak out over this. It is government's bloated
and it's inefficient. That's even a bigger crime than the bloat.
If it was efficient, you could go, well, at least
it's efficient, but the bloat is massive and it's not

(13:58):
efficient at all. And this hole like, well, they've offered,
you know, buyouts to people, and we're going to be
in some serious trouble because nobody's going to work. It's
two percent at best. At best it's two percent. Do

(14:18):
you really think that you're going to feel that if
fifty percent of the government, and I'm talking about the bureaucracy,
I'm talking about the administrative state if it disappeared today,
would you even notice it? No, because the state of
which you live in has a bigger impact on your life.

(14:38):
And because of that, that's where a vast majority of
the stuff, if you were to feel, would be felt.
The federal side of it, Come.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
On, lawmakers and former officials, tel ABC News, those buyouts
pose a threat to national security. After Trump extended the
offer to the intelligence community, including the CIA, they also
expressed alarm. It reports the White House requested a list
of all CIA workers hired within the past two years.
A CIA spokesperson categorized the offers as part of a

(15:08):
holistic strategy to infuse the agency with renewed energy, provide
opportunities for rising leaders to emerge and better position the
CIA to deliver on its mission.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
And the CIA is being looked at today along with Politico,
as we touched on in a different way because of
the news that several news organizations got money from USAID
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty three.

(15:58):
eight million dollars for subscriptions password sharing people, huh. And
the thought that national security is going to somehow suffer
if one percent of them retire take the buyout leave
is fancy full again. But in today's media world of
hype and oh my god, oh jeez, look at all this,

(16:20):
this is I guess what you have to talk about me.
I like talking about all kinds of things. Variety, kids,

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Joe Son, Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
For all the talk of the doge and cutting things
and people get excited about it. I look at this,
and I said it the other day, and some of
you got angry with me because well, that's what you do.
I look at it like this. A lot of what
Elon is doing is we said it earlier, is taking
the heat for Trump, right, because he's running around trying

(18:24):
to do stuff and it's pissing off the Dems and
he's trolling them and it's kind of funny. But in
many ways it's like removing a statue. You can celebrate
the little victory that you think you got, but in reality,
it's like taking a dixie cup down to the ocean
and scooping out a little bit of water and saying,
all right, I've done something, and in truth not really.

(18:53):
I mean, it was great for the news, but is
it really going to change things? I don't think. So
there has to be a fundamental change across the board
in government. Wanting to do something and then cutting through
the bureaucracy to do it are separate.

Speaker 8 (19:14):
Democrats of the DC media are furious about Elon Musk
trying to cut government, starting with foreign aid, going after USAID.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
This is so preposterous.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
On the campaign trail, must talked about government waste and.

Speaker 9 (19:28):
The Department of Government Deficiency is going.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
To fix that.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
No Musk has acted fast.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
But even if he succeeds in killing USAID, that's less
than a percent of the federal budget. So can must
department really reform our bloated government? More efficient Government's been
promised before, but it's never ever happened. Government always grew
bigger and less efficient.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
It's always been that way because government's number one goal
nowadays is government. We always talk about like the NFL.
The NFL is not about the fans, it's not about
the players, It's about the owners and the badge. Protect
at all costs, that's the most important part. Protect, protect,
protect government. Is the same way when you saw all

(20:16):
of these people out there the other day, threatening, saying
crazy stuff about you know the world's coming to an
end because of this or that. They weren't protesting the
people that wouldn't be getting the stuff in the aid
that they may need in the far flung land that
they're struggling with HIV or malaria. They're upset because governments

(20:36):
being exposed and they don't like that. They want to
protect government or spending seven hundred thousand dollars studying how
male parents attract a female.

Speaker 8 (20:48):
And more than one hundred thousand dollars to study finger snapping.
Your government also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Speaker 10 (20:55):
To study whether Neil Armstrong when he stepped on the
moon said one small step for man or one small
step for a man for man.

Speaker 8 (21:06):
I don't hear an extra a either, but we paid
the National Science Foundation to do that expensive study that
concluded ambiguity exists.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
By the way, if you would like to know about
male parrots, I'll give it to you really quick. How
do they attract the ladies? First? Colorful plumage right, want
to make sure you're looking good, Vocalizing and singing right.
Mimicking shows that you're fun right, and and you're intelligent.
Dancing and movements, food offerings, gentle breening a male mate,

(21:43):
groom of females feather to show affection and build trust,
and in some species, males help prepare nesting sites to
show they're ready for breeding. So there you go. So
I want to make sure you guys, because you can't
people hanging right.

Speaker 11 (22:01):
Good God, ten thousand dollars that was given to the
Bearded Ladies Cabaret to fund ice skating shows about climate change.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Cut it all.

Speaker 8 (22:10):
Even if they cut all the silly spending, it won't
come close to eliminating. Are two trillion dollary your deficit?
Where are the bigger cuts?

Speaker 12 (22:20):
The first thing I would cut? The federal government spends
over trillion dollars in subsidies at state and local governments.
K twelve school funding, school lunch funding. This is all
activity that should be funded by state and local governments
and not the federal government.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
The feds even pay for junk food.

Speaker 12 (22:36):
Taxpayers are funding chocolate bars and candy and cake. State
governments have asked to be able to eliminate junk food
in their programs.

Speaker 8 (22:43):
And they're not allowed to.

Speaker 12 (22:44):
They're not allowed to.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
No, they're not. I always fascinated when I'll go to
a fast food restaurant, get a drink or take the
kids to get a quick bite, and it says EBT
accept it, and I think to myself, wow, that's that's
that's interesting. And junk food makes us unhealthier, which costs
us more money down the road. But we will never

(23:06):
address the real cost of our bloated government. And it's
not just the insane, you know, bureaucracy, because that is
definitely it. There's so much that goes into it, but
we'll never actually address it. So, yes, while it's fun
to see all of this wackiness exposed, and it would

(23:27):
be great, I've been saying since the beginning that there's
laws in place to protect all of these people. There's
laws in place and rules in place to protect all
of this spending. And because of that, you can cut
around the edges, but you're not going to actually do
deep enough cuts that it's felt.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
At least now President Trump is making some cuts. Trump
and a DEI programs told the workers don't come in,
but he's still paying them.

Speaker 12 (23:55):
That is very difficult to fire federal workers.

Speaker 8 (23:58):
He had a TV show where the punchline was if
I had government and they just were but that's not government.

Speaker 12 (24:05):
I think we're going to see major reforms on the
federal bureaucracy this time around.

Speaker 8 (24:09):
Maybe until then, Elon Musk is working around the bureaucracy,
and you're.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Only going to be able to do so much and
the real stuff that's out there. Even heard Bernie at
the beginning of the show, from defense to yes, those
other two names which should not be mentioned, but they're
going to mention them.

Speaker 8 (24:29):
But even if Trump fired every federal worker, that still
wouldn't come close to eliminating our deficit because politicians won't
touch the biggest spending.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Unless we are going to talk about Medicare and social
Security reforms.

Speaker 13 (24:44):
Cutting back on government waste is rearranging deck chairs on
the Titanic.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
The big one is stuff that goes to old people
like me, Medicare and Social Security, which are going broke.

Speaker 12 (24:57):
It should be easy to start cutting wealthy people off
the program that so far the President says.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
No because nobody wants to touch that. That is political suicide.
To give you, guys, Joe, a snapshot of what we're
headed to as politicians play ostridge with what's coming. Social
Security Trust Fund is projected to be depleted in eight years,

(25:28):
so if no changes are made, benefits would automatically be
reduced by twenty percent because a program then would rely
on only payroll taxes, which cover eighty percent of the
scheduled benefits. Medicare, by the way, twenty thirty one, six
years after depletion, Medicare would still be able to pay

(25:51):
about eighty nine percent of hospital costs, but full coverage
would require new revenue or cost reductions. Nobody will touch it, though,
because even mentioning it put you in a position where
the Republicans and the Democrats, as far as voters go,

(26:11):
lose their mind. And the same thing goes for defense.
We spend gobs of money on stuff that we do
not need or use. It's obsolete. Yet we signed a contract,
and that contract says we got to buy this thing

(26:32):
that we're never going to use, and we're going to
pay ten times retail for it because somebody's uncle, brother,
donor helped you get elected. It brings jobs back to
your city, and so alas there we are.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
Maybe dogs will change things, hope. So today's rules and
spending are absurd? Can they be reformed? Edwards says it
can be done. I'm skeptical. On the other hand, Donald
Trump and Elon musk sometimes do surprising things.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Take over elide, yes, take over. I don't think it's
gonna change the way that people think and as fast
as people want, But I think there's definitely some change coming.
We'll see three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chadmnson Show. That is your Twitter and
your Instagram coming up. We're going to talk about chickens

(27:33):

Speaker 14 (29:27):
Serving up Talk Radio medium rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
It's Chad Beenson. Eggs pocalypse is here.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's getting more and more expensive. We're going to tell
you how you may be able to bring that down,
but I want you to listen to this because it
is soaring prices and crime when it comes to eggs.

Speaker 15 (29:46):
Egg prices breaking records and set to soar even higher
as restaurants and grocery stores are forced to pay more
to get eggs because of bird fluod growing across the US.
The famous breakfast chain waffle House and I'm still are
an extra fifty cents per egg until egg price is ease.
In Pennsylvania, police say one hundred thousand eggs were stolen

(30:08):
from a trailer at Pete and Jerry's Organics, forty thousand
dollars worth of eggs.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
What was in those eggs? Heroin? Will those those little
plastic eggs that have money in them? Forty thousand dollars
in eggs? Tell me more?

Speaker 16 (30:23):
Pennsylvania State Police they responded to Pete and Jerry's Organics
and Greencastles southwest of Harrisburg, which reported one hundred thousand
eggs stolen from the back of a distribution trailer over
the weekend. Estimated value forty thousand dollars. The egg company
works with two hundred independent, family owned farms across the Midwest,
mid Atlantic, and New England. No word from police on

(30:45):
how such a large steft could have occurred unnoticed, or
if the case will be over easy or hard?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Nah, like what you guys did there? Now, I know
what you're saying, Chad, you're having fun with us. I
am having a little fun with this. I will be
honest with you, because it's eggs. But it is getting expensive,
and you're saying to yourself, Chad, well, what are you
going to do about it? Well, I'm going to bring
you stories in ways to help yourself. Are you ready
for that? Okay? You are.

Speaker 17 (31:15):
Fuck rent a chicken av and flu forcing farmers to
euthanize millions of egg laying hens to stop the spread,
leading to less supply in higher prices. If it feels
like a persistent problem, that's because it is, says Texas
A and M livestock economist David Anderson.

Speaker 18 (31:34):
This started in twenty twenty two, and it keeps popping up.

Speaker 17 (31:38):
Trying to keep their fridge stocked, some consumers are turning
to a novel idea Rent the Chicken.

Speaker 19 (31:44):
We bring a chicken coop with two to four egg
laying hens to someone's backyard. Two hens lay about a
dozen eggs a week, and four hens lay about two
dozen eggs a week.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Rent the chicken. Now, you don't eat the chicken. The
chicken is there is to do what to give you eggs,
and with a street value rising daily, you could be
quite the dealer in your neighborhood. You guys want some eggs?

(32:15):
You guys got any eggs? I got some eks? You
need some eggs? I got some eks? Would you get
the eggs out of your business? Well, that guy's a
big dealer. He must have several hens.

Speaker 17 (32:24):
Launched into twenty thirteen year Pittsburgh, Rent the Chicken partners
with farmers across the US and Canada, offering six month rentals.
Safety measures, Jen Tompkins says have kept their flocks from
falling ill.

Speaker 19 (32:36):
We only buy from trusted flocks or from trusted sources
to expand our flocks, or we raise our own. And
we're not offering farm tours for instance. And we have
specific shoes for when we go care for our chickens.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yes you do. We gotta have special shoes because you
don't want your chickens to get sick. Fly the coop
if you will go to the rainbow bridge and crossover
become nuggets. No, they're producers, baby, they're producers. You got
to make sure they're producing. And you remember you don't

(33:13):
get high cholesterol on your own supply.

Speaker 20 (33:16):
Oh.

Speaker 17 (33:17):
Chadmpkin says they tend to see new customers during bird
flu outbreaks, like one around twenty twenty two. That's the
same year the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a
sharp increase in egg prices, which also shot up in
twenty fifteen during another outbreak.

Speaker 18 (33:34):
Prices skyrocketed to at that time record hies over five
dollars per dozen in the wholesale market. And then the
disease went away, prices came down and we didn't have
to deal with this until twenty twenty two. And so
this time around, instead of happening and going away for
a few years, it happens, and then it happens again,

(33:55):
and it happens.

Speaker 17 (33:55):
Again, Anderson anticipates record setting egg prices before they come
down on your summertime. So if taking on chicken seems
like the way to go with no farm partners, in
nearby right now, North Texans just have to drive down
to Austin to pick them up.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
And if it's not a good fit, they can chicken out.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Look what she did there. Uh. So you get it
for six months and they've got package deals, which is interesting.
I wish I would have known this because a lot
of my big lizards, they yes, they would eat chickens
have given chance, but they like the eggs. But I
didn't know eggs we're going to be this expensive. So
the package deals are interesting. First and foremost. When you

(34:36):
rent it, you're gonna get a Amish chicken portable chicken coop,
get a bunch of little Amish people building it goes
up in a day. You're gonna get three almost ready
to lay hens, twelve to twenty one eggs per week,
one food dish, one water bowl, one bag of betting,

(34:59):
twenty pounds of nongmo or organic chicken feed, depending on
the availability. You're gonna get an instruction sheet, a video
tutorial of your coop and caring for your hens, a
copy of Fresh Eggs Daily by Lisa Steele. Rent the
Chicken Friends to answer questions and concerns about your hens.

(35:20):
So if you want to check them out, go to

three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your Twitter tweet at us text the program right
here on The Chad Benson Show. Coming up hour two.

(35:42):
More on the chaos and craziness of the Feds. Elon
Musk all of the stuff that's happening, because there's all
kinds of stuff happening and everybody's freaking out about it.
Or let's just see how it plays itself out, which
nobody wants to see that happen, because freaking out is

(36:02):
part of what makes this new media world very exciting.
Talk a little bit about that, Talk a little bit
about China's new AI Deep Seek not a Shocker. Where
do you think all the information goes? If you're missing
any show, grab the podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
It's buyout day for federal employees. If you want to
take the buyout the word, if you want to take
the buy out. It's funny because the Democrats make you
want to think that it's you're fired. Or you take
the buyout. No, the choice is I can stay or
I can take the buyout. No, it's not jet. No,

(37:14):
it's not it's either you get eight months or you're fired. No,
it's it's Hey, if you guys want to leave, feel
free to go. Don't let the door hit your ass
on the way out. Here's eight months and we're gonna
cover your I think they're covering it till the end

(37:35):
of the year, your healthcare, and yes, you still get
to keep your pension. You just leave early. Now your
your your retirement or your pension may not be as
big as if you would have stayed an extra ten
or fifteen years. But you know, it's not like they're
going to we're throwing you out. This is it. You
take your eight months and leave, we're gonna fire you
and you get nothing. Oh my god, No, what what

(37:59):
do we do without federal government? Get on with our lives.
That's what we do. Are you sure that's it, chat,
because it sounds like it's cake or death. No, it's
you can stay and do your job, or you can

(38:20):
decide to leave. That's it. Those are your choices. M Nah.
I've been told other things.

Speaker 21 (38:26):
Federal employees receive those builed offers with an email titled
a fork in the Road, the same subject line billionaire
Elon Musk sent to Twitter employees when he took over
the company in twenty twenty two, Democrats warning employees should
proceed with caution on Capitol Hills, sounding the alarm about
Musk and his massive reach into the federal government.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I move that the Committee subpoena Elon Musk to come
before it as a witness at the earliest possible moment.

Speaker 21 (38:52):
The hearing quickly turning into a shouting match.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Oh no, they're shouting at each other. Such pantomime. Meanwhile,
we'll try to figure out how do we pay for food.
It's getting more expensive, especially eggs. We need to recover
our lost wages over the last four years to the

(39:17):
inflation tax. How do we try to climb out of
this nightmare? Out of curiosity? No, it's about Elon Musk.
I said it earlier, and I continue to say this.
Donald Trump and Musk will eventually clash. That's going to happen.
Let's not pretend it's not. You have two men who've

(39:38):
got giinty egos. That being said, for Trump, it's got
to be nice. You've got somebody who is taking a
lot of the arrows at a time when everything you
say is would normally be absolutely front page news. I mean,

(39:58):
they don't even know where to focus. It's moving so fast.
One minutes it's oh, my god, birthright citizenship, the next
minute it is, oh, did you hear what he said
about this? And then over Trump said this, and the
way Elon's over here, and it's it's kind of like
they're battling it out for whose headlines are going to
be bigger, where normally it would just be Trump. And

(40:19):
you know, even the other day, they're still talking about
the you know, the Riviera of Gaza, the new Riviera.
They're still talking about it as if it's a done
deal and it's going to happen and this is what
you want, and it's evil and stuff. Trump threw something
out there. I do not agree with it, but I

(40:41):
did predict it, but I do not agree with it
us being there. I mean, he says we're gonna have
no boots on the ground. Okay, so how are we
cleaning it out? How are we maintaining it just out
of curiosity?

Speaker 22 (40:58):
I mean, here in Jordan already has a majority percentage
wise Palestinian refugee population. There are fears for national security
in the country if you add yet another million people.
It's not a big country, doesn't have a large population. Simainly,
for Egypt, the idea of having over a million Palestinians

(41:18):
moving into the Sinai deserts is a potential national security
and a humanitarian problem.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
It's funny how it's a national security. There's a reason
that Jordan and Egypt do not want them, from the
continual Muslim brotherhood in Battle and Egypt that has gone
on via Palestinians to the trying to overthrow the king
in Jordan. They don't want them there. There's a reason

(41:50):
for that, and they think inviting more people there would
bring more help. And then Trump, of course in flamed
everybody by saying it's going to be the Riviera, it's
the new riv It's beautiful, it's gorgeous, it's beautiful.

Speaker 22 (42:06):
It's fair to describe that the entire the entire idea
has been reasonably condemned across the region, from Jordan, from Egypt,
from Saudi Arabia in particular, a whole bunch of words
have been used like absurd, non negotiable, non starter, condemnation
from groups have been involved in the fight against Israel.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
That being said, it doesn't mean he's wrong about well,
the Riviera, We've already known about it because I've talked
about it. But the fact that doing what they have
done in the past, by trying to set up two
state solution where their jealousy and the anger and Hamas

(42:49):
is still around and all of that stuff, you're going
to get the exact same thing. And as we all know,
as long as a mass has a voice in it,
it's never going to happen because your making away their power,
their money, and they don't want that and control. They
love their control. So yeah, I mean, I agree, you

(43:09):
got to do something different. And I've been saying you
have to get you have to bring everybody in a room.
And I'm not talking about you know, Israel and Hamas
at this point, I'm talking about the powers that be
that can be a huge influence Egypt, Jordan, Cutter, Saudi Arabia,

(43:29):
maybe the UAE, maybe, I mean, you know, but you're
bringing in the ones who are going to be the
helpers and yes, dare I say it, the minders for
a while in this situation and you say to them,

(43:50):
I wasn't wrong about the rivier. You could take that
for what it's worth. But if you think that this
is going to continue to go on, which all the
people in the room say probably, then don't we need
to make some sort of change. Don't we need to

(44:10):
pivot in some way, shape or form. Telling the truth
may be uncomfortable. It may be a situation where some
people think, oh, these people are dead in the landings.
It's insensitive, But if you're looking at the bigger picture,

(44:30):
it's not wrong. So that's how you handle that. But
the noise was made, and that's all that matters. All
that matters says, oh my god, look what he said,
Look what he did. He's evil, I said yesterday, and
I'll continue to say this if I am them, I say, hey, Aumas,

(44:52):
get over here. First of all, you guys, do realize
any given time, Israel could kill all of you. Okay, good,
now that we've got that out of the way. Uh,
stop with the your shenanigans. This is awful and horrible.
Have you guys ever been to Vegas? Lots of gambling,
lots of mobsters. Instead of being a terrorist, how about

(45:13):
being a mobster and say this is what you could
turn it into. Think outside the box. Because the box
that you're in, it ends the same way every time,
and then the box falls apart, and then you go
get the exact same box and you do the exact

(45:35):
same experiment and it ends the exact same way. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three atchadmentson show is
your Twitter tweet nas text the program. I love hearing
from all the folks out there. Immigration. Yesterday in Aurora, Colorado,
they caught some folks what yes, and guess what they

(45:59):
weren't not. But I thought that was some sort of
right wing disinformation. There's no Trent to Agua, there's no
gangs in any of these places. That's a lie.

Speaker 9 (46:10):
One of the folks that was arrested was it a
fugitive from the country of Chile. He is a known
TDA member and he was wanted for kidnapping an extortion
from another country.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Seems like a good person. So they went in and
busted a bunch of guys that were not good dudes.
I think it is a second third time they've been
in there, and that's great. The worst first is the
most important part of this equation. And whether it's my

(46:44):
national show or my local show, whatever it is, the
pushback I get from a lot of people on both
sides is, you know, everybody should be allowed to stay,
because if you get rid of one that's bad. You know,
no wrong. There's go look at the numbers, right, let's
let's read the room. The room says has to go.
That's not negotiable, and you shouldn't want bad to be here.

(47:09):
It's the rest that is the big picture. And when
I say and tell people that if you think we're
going to get rid of everybody and we're going to
capture them all, I try to remind people it ain't
gonna happen. Kids. It didn't. Even if we do not
allow another person in here and we lock the border

(47:31):
down and not one person gets in, we don't even
allow one person to apply for asylum and get released
in here, we would have to do about eleven thousand
a day all the way through Trump's presidency just to
get to about fifteen million. They're doing a thousand a day,

(47:57):
sometimes a little bit more, and in many cases because
of the law, and they can't be held for an
extended period of time and the lack of beds. They're
re released out. So let's get the worst first and
go from there. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Last week the world was a buzz with deep Seek,
and I said to myself self, if you think TikTok's
a bad idea because of what may happen, deep Seek,
I think is far worse because it's China period. At
least TikTok tries to put out this facade that look,

(50:10):
we're two separate companies. We've got ByteDance here in America
and then the Chinese version over there, and we've separated
them and we operate on our own. Deep Sea came out.
Everybody got excited. Oh my god, they only did it
for a dollar. But wait a minute, where exactly does

(50:35):
that data go?

Speaker 23 (50:36):
This morning of security expert is raising alarms about the
explosive new AI service from Chinese upstart deep Seek. The
Expert is found hidden in deep Seek's computer code the
capability to collect data from American users and potentially send
it directly to the Chinese government in.

Speaker 24 (50:54):
Direct links to servers and to companies in China and
that are under control of the government. And this is
something that we've never seen in the past.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
They're not even pretending. My issue with TikTok has always
been the influence. It has not the whether or not
they're stealing your data. My god, if you've got Timu,
if you've got ninety percent of the apps that come
out there that you know people have, they've got something

(51:27):
on there that I'm sure they can get our information.
And we've allowed that to happen because we weren't thinking
in some cases and in some cases we just didn't care.
But with deep Seek, this this is different. This is ai.
This goes straight back to them. Oh, we didn't think
that would happen. You didn't.

Speaker 23 (51:46):
Deep Sea concedes it sends data to China, but where
Ivan Cyrianny at cybersecurity firm Fair Roots says it may
end up is concerning.

Speaker 24 (51:54):
The Sulfur code has a direct reference and ability to
send information to China mobile servers.

Speaker 23 (52:02):
China Mobile is a state owned telecommunications company that has
been sanctioned in this country over fears it could cause
irreparable damage to US national security.

Speaker 25 (52:11):
We always suspect that technology sold by a Chinese based
company as a backdoor accessible to the Chinese government.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter tweet at
a texta program right here in the Chad Benson Show.
And it's wide open. And even though it's open source,
to think that there's not back doors in the code
would be a lie as well. While it's interesting what
they're doing and it's awesome when you think about the

(52:41):
fact that in theory, again it's awesome that it didn't
cost as much, the reality is it may cost a
lot more to us. Meanwhile, in the air, and I
do mean the air Frontier air by the way, anytime
you start something off with Frontier Air know that it's
it's going to be fun.

Speaker 26 (53:02):
In this audio recorded by a person on board, fellow
passengers were holding down and restraining a man who allegedly
punched his seat and a window on a Frontier Airline
flight from Denver to Houston. The window appears to have
cracked and there was damage to the interior of the
plane around it and blood. Houston Public you say the
man was restrained on board and calmed down when the
plane landed, and Houston Frontier did not want to press

(53:24):
charges and nobody was arrested.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Because it's just another day in Frontier Airline fun. And
then you move from there because again, for whatever reason,
and I think a lot of it's top of mind
because of what's going on out there and people are
worried about flying. We had yet another incident, this time
on the ground. Thankfully nobody was hurt, but planes collided.

Speaker 13 (53:46):
The wing of the taxiing Japan Airlines flight striking the
tail of a Delta Airlines plane waiting for de icing.

Speaker 17 (53:53):
The planes kind of jolted if if you're in a
car accident.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
The Delta's tail was like lodged into the wing.

Speaker 13 (53:59):
The FAA saying the aircraft we're in an area that
is not under air traffic control. Passengers de planing from
both aircraft. No one was injured.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Got to make sure that we say that air traffic
control was not in charge, because d if you miss
any of the show, grab the podcast. It is the

You guys can always reach out to me. We love
it when you do leave a voicemail. I'm trying to
get to them more often. I get doing fifty five
other things and for that, I apologize. And you could
always leave a voicemail at the same number as the
text line three two three five three eight Chad three
two three five three A Chad. Several of you have

(55:02):
called in and left me a voicemail and I appreciate that.
Let's take and listen to a few of them. Oh yeah,
uh huh. Gotta have some musical accompaniment with it. This
lady might not like it.

Speaker 27 (55:17):
This message is for Chad Benson's show.

Speaker 28 (55:20):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
In my opinion, he needs to stop all those vocal
sound effects.

Speaker 23 (55:26):
It's irritating.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
The man he had there.

Speaker 18 (55:28):
For his holidays was excellent. Maybe he should be more
like him.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Craig Collins just say thank you, You're welcome. Good guy.
Love Craig. I love Craig. Maybe I should be more
like Craig. What vocal things that she's talking about? Not
quite sure, Uh, but you know what, I'm gonna do
everything I possibly can to continue to uh you know,
maybe not be so wacky. Uh, probably not continue, Uh sir,

(55:57):
Uh you want to be in my pals?

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Are you're thinking yet it's your friend, Josh?

Speaker 29 (56:03):
Not really, we're not friends.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
I'm going to listen to you all the.

Speaker 12 (56:06):
Time, but we probably would be friends.

Speaker 8 (56:08):
Actually.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Anyway, that was great start.

Speaker 30 (56:10):
Hey, I would love I think it would be cool
if you talk about.

Speaker 12 (56:14):
Pickleball more, because you know, people love it.

Speaker 11 (56:18):
I love it, thank you love it.

Speaker 14 (56:20):
And uh, you know we talk.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
About pickleball stuff.

Speaker 31 (56:25):
Like cool paddles and.

Speaker 7 (56:28):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 18 (56:29):
I don't know, just pick the ball stuff.

Speaker 26 (56:31):
I do love the politics.

Speaker 16 (56:33):
Listen to you most days on my way home from.

Speaker 25 (56:35):
Work and going to work on the podcast.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
And uh, you know, I'm just thinking about pickleball.

Speaker 26 (56:41):
So all right, take it easy.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
I love me some pickleball, man, tell you what, I
can't get enough of it. Not playing as much as
I used to, but now really starting to get back
into it. Took some time off because I'm moving around
and doing so much stuff. But I tell you what, baby, Josh,
You're right, more pickleball, baby, more pickleball fastest growing sport
in America. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, you know what, Josh,
we should be friends absolulutely. Can you always call the

(57:07):
show three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet at
his text the program. I love hearing from all of you.
We've got some more of these calls, some questions and
some comments. How about this one? This one is very interesting. Hey,
I heard about this age thing. Man.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Tell you what's even worse.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
I heard that the.

Speaker 26 (57:29):
Teasters the chickens are actually gonna unite, go on strike,
price is free, and go higher.

Speaker 12 (57:36):
Just a joke, guys, Why probably will happen?

Speaker 13 (57:40):
Have a good one.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Yeah, you guys are not paying attention. Chickens eggs all
through the roof. You can rent a chicken now, you
can go to rent a chicken dot com. I think
it is so you can have chickens that will give
you eggs. Because of all the high prices out there,
and then because of the fear of the bird fluke
continuing to do damage, so people are renting those chickens.

(58:03):
On top of that, it looks like lab grown chickens
are going to be on the shelves soon. Oh my God,
how about one more color for now? Three two three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three. At Chad Benson
Show is your Twitter. When you call the three two

(58:24):
three number, it is both a text line and a
message line. You can feel free to leave your message there.
This person here got a question for me? Seems kind
of like a serious question.

Speaker 25 (58:36):
I listened to Chad Benson quite a bit. He seems
to most of the time have a real logical, common
sense attitude and shows both sides of a situation. With
that being said, I don't know why he doesn't run

(58:57):
for office himself. Maybe he doesn't want the uh who.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Knows, Well, I'll tell you why I don't run for office.
A lot of it has to do with the fact
that I wouldn't put my family through that. Secondly, I
love doing my show. I feel I can reach more people,
and I feel like I have less of an issue
with this, reaching more people, talking to them, trying to
get some stuff done than going to a place where
people are more interested in, you know, the politics and

(59:25):
the pantomime, you know, theata that they put on, than
actually solving problems. And you know what, I like solving stuff.
So that's so why I don't. They're never interested in
solving anything. They're more interested in the politics and the
wackiness that goes with it and sound bites. And I
like having fun and I think I can do more
from here. Plus I love what I do. Man, I'm blessed.

(59:47):
I got to goof around talk about all kinds of stuff.
We get to talk about how crazy Miami is here
in a little bit, that's fun. Politics is lost its way,
and I think with my humor and what we try
to do here, I think we can keep more people
kind of in line and have a better time, and
the reach is bigger. But I've had the Republicans and

(01:00:09):
the Libertarians both come to me and pose questions like
that to me, And while I appreciate it, if it
isn't the Whig Party, I'm not listening. That's what I'm
trying to tell you, guys. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is
your Twitter. You could tweet at us. You can text
the program. Remember that line I give you is both
texting as well as voicemail. You can leave a voicemail

(01:00:33):
for me and I will get to it as fast
as I possibly can. Been kind of swamped the last
couple of days. That's why I didn't get to those.
By the way, the last guy that asked question is
name is John. I think soul Love. He's got a
book if you guys want to go check that out
cause I think it's called Friends Forever and money goes
to charity. So appreciate that. Thanks all so much for
your calls. Yesterday, Trump did something that of course angered people, win,

(01:00:57):
doesn't he And it had to do with the trans issue.
Oh no, you guys know my position on that. I'll
just give you a snapshot. If you're over the age
of eighteen, make your own decisions and you're not going
to hurt anybody. Knock yourself out there you go. If
you are trying to get children to change and putting
wackydo things in their minds, you're going to be in

(01:01:17):
a lot of trouble and stay away. And most people
feel that way, and by most I mean a vast
majority of America. And when it comes to women and
girls in sports, and that's what yesterday was all about. Yeah,
there is no argument for why, in particular, older males

(01:01:38):
like fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, all the way up should be
playing against girls or women in competitive sports. With this
executive order, the war on women's sports is over. It's
over now that executive order. It's all over. There is
no good argument. I mean, even in their own like

(01:02:04):
the big like GLAD, LGBTQ plus research and stuff, when
they talk about how that you defend yourself from the
rights attacks or whoever's attacks, one of the areas where
they say, yeah, don't don't even try to approach the
subject because we don't have a good argument. Because it's
just we don't have a good argument. There is none.

(01:02:29):
Men are superior athletes. Men are superior in every way,
shape or form. When it comes to obviously size of
the body, strengthen the body, speed, agility, power, I'm going
to go on and on. It's not even close. And

(01:02:52):
when I hear that, it's, oh, yeah, you're making you know,
a lot out of this, Yeah, lot's been made. Because
it's like everything else, it becomes a big deal. But
when it comes to this, it's not just about the
athletic side. We have told young girls that their voice

(01:03:14):
doesn't matter and that you must accept this situation or else,
and that while that person has a penis, that's a woman,
and if they're changing in front of you, you're just
gonna have to deal with it. And so your feelings
don't matter because this person's on even more protective status
than you, which is a bunch of bs. Didn't mean

(01:03:38):
that people weren't gonna freak out, because as you know,
it's what they do, it's who they are. Overreaction smurf. Oh,
that lady probably wouldn't have liked it. I made that
noise three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to

You're not trying to have a conversation with me. You're

say that, go for it, but come on, and I

Speaker 27 (01:05:42):
Show, Deep States No Deep Doo doo e The Chat
Benson Show.

Speaker 32 (01:05:59):
A historical pieces going up for auction and its selling
price could once again make history.

Speaker 33 (01:06:08):
So this is a seventeen fourteen Stratavarius and it was
made during the Golden period by Antonio Stratavirius.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
So this is the peak of his output.

Speaker 33 (01:06:16):
This is the best violin of this era, and it
is going to be sold at Southeby's on February seven.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
There you go. Now you're saying to yourself, Okay, it's
a violin. It all sounds the same. It's just a fiddle,
isn't it a little different? Stratavarius was apparently pretty good
at this, all right. He was the Gibson of his day.
That's a good way to say it. So it took
him a while, by the way, to make these things.

(01:06:44):
They said he made about eleven hundred over his lifetime.
But many people thought the last few years his sons
and a few other craftsmen helped him, because that's a
lot to make. Considering the fact that it took him
up to a year to make some of the ones,
and they're expensive. There's only about five hundred to six

(01:07:07):
hundred inexistence today, so if you're thinking, hey, I'd like
to get me a fiddle like that, it's going to
cost you.

Speaker 32 (01:07:16):
It still sounds pretty good for a three hundred year
old violin, but Sotheby says its owners were all famed
musicians who treated it with the utmost care.

Speaker 33 (01:07:26):
Brahms wrote the Violin Concerto specifically for this violin, and
it was debuted on this violin in the mid eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
This violin was owned.

Speaker 33 (01:07:36):
By Joseph Joachim, arguably the most famous and most notable
violinist of the nineteenth century. It was owned by him
for more than fifty years, and then it was owned
by a number of other important violinists, and then was
gifted to the New England Conservatory, which is now going
to sell it for student.

Speaker 32 (01:07:51):
Scholarships, and a lot of students could get scholarships if
the Stratavarius sells in its expected price range of twelve
to eighteen million dollars. If it sells at sixteen million
or higher, it will break a record for the most
expensive instrument ever sold.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Whoa. By the way, he didn't just make violins, that's
what you know him for. He made cellos, violas, and yes,
even getters. Guitars. No way, Yep, there's a few of
those left, but they're harder to come by. They think
there's somewhere between three and five still left, and they're

(01:08:33):
very very rare, even rarer than the violins. But the
violins are what he is obviously known for, that in
his awesome karate moves. I don't think that's true, Jed.
Speaking of style sophistication. Let's talk spring break in Miami.
It looks like the newest reality show, Miami Beach. Here

(01:08:54):
we come.

Speaker 17 (01:08:55):
There's drama.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
I'm so sick of crime, yelling. Look a hot cast ty,
I'm violent.

Speaker 33 (01:09:03):
My name is Sophia, my name is Emily.

Speaker 11 (01:09:05):
But it's not a reality show. It's actually a warning
to young people not to come to Miami Beach for
spring break, and if they do, they'll face a whole
bunch of rules and regulations they definitely will not like.
The clever public service announcement is a reaction to scenes
of chaos like these, as thousands of spring Breakers descended
on Miami beach.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Oh my lord. So they're actively pushing out advertisement saying
please don't come here. Estimated three hundred and fifty thousand
young folk head down there over and again. Spring Break
is a little different. It's not like it's just a week.

(01:09:49):
When I was younger, you know, and Fort Lauderdale was
the place to go, and it was just essentially a
week or two where now it's kind of a spread
out because colleges will take different times. And they estimate
about one hundred and twenty million dollars plus plus plus
comes in. But is it worth the hell and the chaos?
Some people say no.

Speaker 11 (01:10:07):
It's the second year in a row that the city
has launched an anti spring breaker pr campaign. Last year's
push was called We're breaking up with spring Break. Last year,
I remember I was there and Ocean Drive was very
unspring Break, Like.

Speaker 29 (01:10:22):
You didn't have any of the lawlessness that we had
seen in prior years. And we're fully anticipating a smooth
and fun, clean spring break.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Well that doesn't sound like fun. But I want a fun,
clean spring break. That's boring. I want something chaotic.

Speaker 11 (01:10:38):
The fake reality show starts off with these spring Breakers
anticipating a great and wild time.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
I'm here to have the best spring Break ever.

Speaker 11 (01:10:46):
But as spring Break reality check unfolds, the very rules
are revealed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Once we talked to Miami Beach, things went downhill fast.

Speaker 11 (01:10:54):
They're busted for drinking and other violations.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
You're drinking in public. That's not allow. This speaker, that's
not allowed.

Speaker 11 (01:11:02):
It didn't get better when they went out.

Speaker 23 (01:11:03):
At nights saying expect curfews.

Speaker 11 (01:11:06):
At the end of the video, the rules are spelled out,
expect one hundred dollars parking tickets, curfews, heavy police presence,
security checkpoints, and DULA enforcements.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
Come here, have a great time.

Speaker 29 (01:11:19):
You will have a great time if you're played by
the rules in Obayla law. But you will not have
a good time and you will face the consequences if
you come here looking.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
To break our laws.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Yeah well, I mean that should be anywhere, But the
difference is if you do it in numbers and it
can get out of control. We saw that remember during
COVID the beaches in Texas and Miami and the lakes
and Texas that they were all kind of open and
people went and being cooped up. They just let it go,

(01:11:50):
which was crazy. On top of the one hundred dollars
parking tickets in certain areas, they're doubling parking fines in
other areas up to five hundred and sixteen dollars per ticket.
So if you go to Miami, get crazy, take a
fake ID with you three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is

(01:12:10):
your Twitter tweet at us text the program. We love
hearing from all of you right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up third hour, Buddy, Jim Kennedy and
Kennedy Institute Public Policy Research is going to join us.
We're going to talk about the first what seems like
six months of Trump's presidency, but it's only been about

(01:12:31):
two weeks. We're gonna talk a bit about that. Also
more on what's going on when it comes to us
aid Elon, Musk and Doge and the chaos surrounding that,
and chaos is kind of what's going on, and not
all of that is because of the actions of the
President or Elon. It's also the reactions of the things

(01:12:54):
they're doing that make it chaotic. If you miss any
of the show, we always say, shame on you. Make
sure you've read the pot cast. It is the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Politics is all about how you look, now what you do.
We used to have a saying, we joke with our coach. Coach,
it's not whether we win or lose, it's how we
look doing it. And these uniforms are awful. That's politics.
Being in the minority party is the best position in

(01:13:55):
the federal government as far as the political side. Am
I talking about bureaucracy because you get to be on
the attack all day, You get a whine all day,
and you have zero responsibility or accountability for anything that happens. Now, yes,

(01:14:19):
there is that once in a great while something great
will happen and you're like, jeez, our team didn't win.
But if things go sideways like it ain't us in me,
that was you, guys', that's a you problem. And you
see that with what's going on with the insanity of

(01:14:42):
Elon and Trump, the dynamic duo, and how they're coming
after them. And as I said earlier, Trump has something
that he has never had before when he was president.
The first time he's we got somebody who is taking
a lot of the arrows that are coming in that

(01:15:06):
direction where normally would be all aimed at him, but
now a lot of them are aimed at Elon. And
so if you're in the opposition party, Elon is everything
you've ever dreamed of as a villain, right. I mean,
he's a straight that's fifth Chad, Caucasian, white vanilla cracker

(01:15:33):
who identifies as male, and he's the richest SOB on
the planet. Plus he's quirky. Hey, he's on the spectrum,
you know what. Quirky's a good thing. And so he,

(01:15:54):
in their mind, is the perfect villain to go along
with Trump, and so they can scream and yell and
say all kinds our Democracy's over. It's the worst thing
that's ever happened. The problem with the Democrats is you
guys pick the wrong hill to die on. Most Americans
do not care about this agency. They're not sitting around going,
oh jeez, it was my favorite agency. It's the one

(01:16:15):
I cared about the most. They're not, they're not. They're
looking around going no. Iran doesn't need twenty million dollars
for a puppet show to teach people how to like
the LGBTQ plus community. Right before they throw them off
a building. Hey, mister Boppart, what do you think I
should do it? I think you should be quiet about

(01:16:35):
what it is that you like. Okay, it's great to
be in the opposition party, but find the hill that
will resonate with people. And fear mongering, as we see,
didn't work, and it's not going to work now, especially
when the guide that is coming out saying all of
these things about look what you guys are spending money on.

(01:16:58):
You guys are mad at what he is about and
what you think he represents, and you're skipping over the
message of what are we spending money on? And center Christomaphee,
Democrat of Connecticut, joins me.

Speaker 34 (01:17:11):
Now, so I just think there's a tipping point at
which you can't get your democracy back.

Speaker 20 (01:17:16):
And I see all of.

Speaker 34 (01:17:17):
These very purposeful lines of effort that the Trump administration
and Elon Musk are taking, and I think we just
have to be right now at this moment on red
alert mode.

Speaker 20 (01:17:28):
And what I see right.

Speaker 34 (01:17:30):
Is the normalization of violent when you're thinking about going
out to a protest and you might get beat up
by somebody who has immunity for violence in Trump's name.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Wow, there's no hyperbole and fear there. So wait a minute.
I just want to get this right you. First of all,
we've got to be on red alert. I was on
orange before, I'm on dark red now. So what you're
telling me is you could go out and beat anybody up,
and as long as you invoke Trump's name, we're good.

(01:18:04):
I want to make sure we're all on the same page,
says this guy.

Speaker 34 (01:18:08):
I don't think you can underestimate the impact of what's
happening in our media infrastructure, where major platforms are either
under the direct control or influence of the administration. And
then what you're seeing now is an attempt to capture
the funding streams of the government so that Elon Mosker,
Donald Trump can turn off your grant payment to your

(01:18:32):
elementary school if it doesn't pledge loyalty to Donald Trump's
political positions or your mom's solid security check if she
goes online and says something critical of Elona Musker Donald Trump.
I mean, I just think if we don't stop this
very soon, it is going to be hard to mount
a credible political opposition in the not so distant future.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
So this is the moment to me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Let's go outside and see what the Democratic people and
the American people are thinking about Chris Murphy and his
fear mongering not resonating, That's what I'm saying. They're not this.

Speaker 28 (01:19:12):
We're stopping down with Social Security because somebody liked a
post on Facebook that was critical of Donald Trump, and
because of that, we are going to make sure that
she doesn't get her payment.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Like I said, I don't think it resonates with people.
I don't pick the hill that you think is real
and die on that hill. You guys are fighting a
fight right now that is embarrassing, and the way that

(01:19:58):
you're handling it is embarrassing. The emotions that you're putting
out there are unhinged, and the thought that people are
going to run out and beat people up based on
the fact that they think they're going to get some
sort of magical get out of jail card from Donald

(01:20:23):
Trump as long as you evoke his name or if
you say something critical of Trump and the administration, that
they have the power to stop a grant magically. And
if you're going to talk about the media, this is
not the day to do it. Considering yesterday what happened.

(01:20:46):
Oh yeah, Politico, which blamed Elon Musk for not getting
their people paid when it really it was just a snap.
Foo apparently was exposed for getting eight million dollars from
you aid sending money to groups like Politico for mega

(01:21:08):
subscriptions to the tune of about eight point two million dollars.
There were several other organizations media wise, that are all
extremely left wing and very critical of Trump when he
was in office and out of office, and I'm sure
now that he's back in office it's the same way.
And you're talking about him controlling the media. If you

(01:21:30):
would have given money to Fox and you would have
given money to New York Times, I don't think people
took care. But if you go, hey, it's kind of
weird that everything goes to this direction. So Chris, I'll
call you that. Settle down, okay, okay? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadminton Show

(01:21:52):
is your Twitter tweet at his text the program. This weekend,
there is a game called the Super Bowl. Have you
heard of it? People are worried about what might happen.
Security wise. They're locking that place down and that includes
the waterways.

Speaker 31 (01:22:10):
Our primary goal out here is just to make sure
that we've got we're providing a security zone and a
buffer to make sure that we can react to any
threat that presents itself from the water side to anyone
who's trying to enjoy a good time here in New
Orleans on the waterfront.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
What if Godzilla came out, Well, Chad, I'll be honest
with you, if that didn't happen, there is a chance
that it would be bad for everybody.

Speaker 31 (01:22:36):
With the number of cruise ships arriving, number of folks
that want to enjoy the waterfront here in New Orleans,
we want to make sure that we're doing our part
to make sure that is a safe and secure time
for them, as well as making sure we are facilitating
the commerce that moves up and down the critical Mississippi River.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
I don't how many cruise ships are going to be there.
You know. One of the things, like we've talked about
with the Super Bowl and all that is happening, is
it's not just about the inside that people need to
make sure that it's covered. To me, the critical space

(01:23:17):
is the outside and the people heading to and the
people participating in events that they may not even go
to the game itself. And we saw that with Taylor Swift,
where those guys in Austria wanted to kill a whole
bunch of people because Taylor Swift. The whole thing with
Taylor Swift is it's an event. People don't have tickets

(01:23:39):
and they show up because they want to be around
other Swifties, and so they show up the event. So
she'll be performing on you know, in a giant venue
of fifty sixty thousand people, and on the outside you
may have another fifteen or twenty thousand people mulling around.
And that was the soft target because while everybody's focused
on the inside and what was going on there, all

(01:24:00):
the people in one area, you had a bunch of
people outside who were not really being paid attention to,
didn't have that much security. And so that is, to
me the vulnerable area because you've got all of those
people potentially mulling around or just showing up to you know,

(01:24:23):
party and have fun. And that's the fear and Godzilla
coming out of the water, which would be a game changer,
Let's be real, it would change everything. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show is your Twitter tweet at us text the program.

James Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Serrat.

Speaker 31 (01:26:51):
App Boom, what trupping?

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
It's fine. I was swading on the old innwebs on
this Thursday. We'll start with, Yeah, lots of basketball talk
because the trade deadline, guys, swap it blazes. Donald Trump
faces his first articles of impeachment from Al Green and

(01:27:25):
not the great singer, but the wackado who and I
quote is impeaching him for dastardly deeds, which is fantastic.
Oh my god, that's kind of wacky racers, Dick dastardly
and Muttley is that how Muttley laughed or whatever it was? Man,

(01:27:50):
politics is just it's high school with ugly people for
the most part. Lakers, Celtics all trending, and Yahoo head
over to the mental world. Let's go to Google next,
shall we. Jimmy Butler traded number one training thing yesterday again,

(01:28:13):
tons of basketball stuff, Politico, which we've talked about, and
we're gonna touch on a little bit more with Jim
Kennedy coming up here in a little bit. Why a
several news outlets. We're getting money from a US international
development agency to the point of eight million dollars for subscriptions.

(01:28:41):
You guys don't know how to password share? What are
they charging you guys? Al Green again trending? Nancy Mace
for insensitive comments three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter

(01:29:02):
tweeted us text the program right here on The Chad
Benson Show. An overdue magical world of Twitter, Trump's executive order,
and one trading thing. More on the Politico crazy. I mean,
some of it is just I am fascinated by. I'm like, really,

(01:29:25):
you know, the whole thing with the sixty minutes interview,
it was just another situation where you look at the
media and you say to yourself, this is why nobody
trusts you. This is why you changed the answers to

(01:29:49):
a question for a presidential candidate, which, by the way,
when everything comes out, I think there's going to be
in some trouble because you're not allowed to do that.
And there's an act. I can't remember what it's called.
I think it's like fifty six years old about that
when it comes to in particular presidential races. But it's
not just about this. You've got the Politico stuff, which

(01:30:11):
is fascinating. When you dig deeper in the fact that
the CIA was involved in all kinds of you know,
it gets a little convoluted. But why are we having
a United States Agency for International Development paying eight million
dollars for subscriptions for Politico and several other organizations fascinating again,

(01:30:31):
all of them, by the way, left leaning and didn't
like Trump. I mean, there's so many things out there
where you have to ask yourself, you guys failed, why
do people believe you at all? We're gonna talk to
Aboudy Jim Kennedy. Kennedy has to do public policy research
coming up. We're gonna talk about a lot of things, including
Trump and the whirling dervish of his first two weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
It's that time of the week. We talked politics with
our good buddy, Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. Jim,
I read a really interesting piece about FDR and Trump.
FDR wanted to make his first hundred days big and
bold and to counteract all of the insanity of the

(01:31:41):
depression and the fact that he didn't feel government was there.
So he came in those first hundred days and he
did all kinds of stuff and to counter that. It
feels like Trump's going the exact opposite where his first
hundred days is. I'm going to come in and I
Am going to do the exact opposite, going going to
undo all of the stuff that the federal government has

(01:32:03):
done inside of people's lives and try to scale it back.
And it kind of feels like they're both have the
same kind of situation where they're using executive orders and
it's a whirling dervish, and at the same time they're
going in the other direction from one another. One wanted
to bring more federal government to the country, the other

(01:32:25):
Trump wants to bring less.

Speaker 20 (01:32:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:32:28):
No, that's an interesting analogy to it, and it makes
a lot of sense. You know, I'm curious is he
doing this just to basically overwhelm because obviously we have
a slightly different media environment than FDR did in thirty two,
where it's you know, it's there wasn't social media.

Speaker 20 (01:32:42):
You know.

Speaker 30 (01:32:42):
In fact, they wouldn't even report on his his his
his handicap, the fact that he couldn't really walk because
of the polio and stuff, whereas today that would obviously
be something that you wouldn't last thirty seconds with. But yeah,
I think I think Trump is throwing so much at
the media that no matter how badly out of shape
the Dems get, there's another there's another hit coming at

(01:33:02):
them twelve hours later that supersedes the first one and
makes them like, just me, O, well we got to
go focus on that. You know, they're just running around
like a bunch of banshees that just can't figure out
what they need to go attack because it's just new stuff,
new stuff, new stuff every twelve hours. Because we've gone
through I mean, you know, twenty four hours ago was
all about Gaza and now it's about you know, it's

(01:33:24):
about you, or it's still about USAID.

Speaker 20 (01:33:26):
It's about where the money's been.

Speaker 30 (01:33:27):
Spent on subscriptions, and it's also about the Women in
Sports Act that was that was signed last evening, So
you know, that's all basically now getting the news cycle
and where all that money was going from USAID. Now
that that's been released, it's all the news and you
got everybody out there claiming, no, we didn't really get that.

Speaker 20 (01:33:43):
I'm not sure we're going to talk about that, and
so on and so forth. So yeah, like he's just
flooding them.

Speaker 30 (01:33:48):
It's just it's just basically throw everything out there and
they can't react to it enough because it takes them
a couple of days to react to stuff, and by
the time they even get any sort of crisis of
response going against it, that's the third story down the list.
And it's like, well, wait, now we're just fighting a
losing battle. I don't know how they're going to get
around it. And I you know, I think it's a
great strategy for him to kind of move forward because

(01:34:08):
he's got so much stuff that would have just lit
their hair on fire. That now that you don't even
talk about because they got six other things that light
the light of.

Speaker 20 (01:34:15):
Their hair on fire.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy ensued a public policy research Jim.
Two things. First, it was strategic, US aid. It was
easy to see why they did it. It's easy to understand.
You know, you're doing gender puppets and some far away
land that cost a million dollars or you know, juggling

(01:34:37):
ducks or whatever that they're giving money to, and people
are asking serious questions when eggs are you know, being
guarded like it's Fort Knox because they're so damn expensive.
That's one thing. The other thing is Trump has something
that he didn't have the first time. Somebody stands next

(01:34:58):
to him. His name is Elon Musk, and he's taking
as much fire as Trump is, and in many occasions
he is getting more fire at him because the media
can't stand him, and the Democrats have focused on him
because he is all that is evil. He's a white

(01:35:18):
rich male.

Speaker 20 (01:35:20):
Yeah, no he is, Yeah, you're right, he is.

Speaker 30 (01:35:21):
He is the boogeyman that that that that they can
focus everything on.

Speaker 20 (01:35:25):
Well, Trump just sits mind.

Speaker 30 (01:35:26):
The scenes pulls the strings and just tosses all the
executive orders down the pike to basically irritate them. And
like I said, keep them, keep them confused, and keep
them off balanced. And yeah, I mean it was like
they were talking about, you know, the fifty billion dollars
that came up with USAID, and it's like, well, you know,
some people are saying, well, you know, we could better
spend that in America and stuff. Yeah, but that's you know,

(01:35:46):
fifty billion dollars that you know is going. Now that
we know where it's going, it seems like maybe we
should have been spending a lot of that within America.
But on the yeah, on that front, it's definitely a
great deal with Musk because what can you do. You
can't impeach him, you can't fire him. He's not really
an employee. He's just a advisor to them, and he

(01:36:07):
basically is Teflon. And it also is for something about
Elon because of the fact that he used to be
a Democrat and he used to contribute to Democrat causes
back when Obama is around, that there's something that really
about the left that really gets them about when one
of their own sees the light and moves on and changes.

Speaker 20 (01:36:25):
You know, it doesn'tely change their beliefs.

Speaker 30 (01:36:27):
But as he's shown where everything has just moved way
to the left, and he still thinks he's got the
same beliefs, and he now basically sits in the center
or right of center versus where he was in the
middle of the left twelve total fifteen years ago. That
really irritates the left, and they don't think it again,
it's they have no self awareness at all to understand
how far left the Democrat Party has moved over the

(01:36:49):
last fifteen years. It's funny because even if you I
wrote a paper on this that if you look at
West Wing, which I loved and everyone, you know, most
people did as a great television show, Jessicah Bartlett, but
nowhere near to be liberal enough today to be dominated
by the Democrats. He wasn't for woke stuff. He wasn't
for gay marriage. There was even a topic. I don't
think they even brought up on the show, but the
stuff that he was just and he was considered a

(01:37:11):
liberal president, but he wouldn't even come close today because
of how liberal the right the left has got and
must because he is basically you know, stayed in his position.
They hate him for the fact that he's no longer
a liberal and no longer a lefty.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Yeah, I mean absolutely, I mean that's so true. But
you hear that from a lot of people out there.
It's like, I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic
Party left me exactly. So talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute Public Policy Research, you know, uh, elon again. He's
his own bag of tricks and chaos and craziness, and

(01:37:47):
the left is focusing on him because he's everything that
they want to make into the boogeyman, which is he's
a billionaire, he's white, et cetera, et cetera. The hills
they choose to die on. Though they've not learned anything.
They still don't know how to read the room. They're
going out there and fighting for stuff that they think,
you know, well, yeah, you need to give four or
five million dollars to Caribbean islands who have you who

(01:38:10):
don't allow gays to marry and and take away rights
and stuff. It's like, guys, you're not reading the room.
It Do we want people to be treated poorly because
they're gay in another country? No, At the same time,
there are issues here in America people need to deal with,
and they didn't know where their taxpayer money was going.
And it's not just that the fact that you're giving

(01:38:32):
god knows how many millions of dollars to the Taliban
for condoms when we already gave them five hundred gazillion
dollars of weaponry.

Speaker 20 (01:38:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:38:39):
No, absolutely there where some of the money is going
is very interesting and it's and it's I find it strange.
And again you talk about, you know, the wrong kills
that die on how can you be irate to showing
taxpayers where there's money go, where their money is going.
I mean, when you think about that position, do you
you know, did anyone go, wait a minute, why are
we doing this? And this can't be a winning position

(01:39:01):
for us. There's no way that we're going to get
the tack we're going to get the American voters to
side with us because evil Trump and evil Elon are
showing the public where the money's going. It's like it's
you know, they have this right or that they have
this idea that the government, you know, that running the
government is bureaucrats is their right and that dare you
question their right. It's it's like they've played the long game.

(01:39:23):
They've spent forty years getting people into the bureaucracy, and
as everybody knows, it's directors come and go, presidents come
and go. I think you mentioned before, you know, these
are the people that are the homeowners in Washington versus
the renters. They're there, they're there for the long term.
They're the ones that run the daily mechanicians of the government.
And the left is spent thirty years, forty years getting

(01:39:45):
their people in place, and now that they're in place,
they are scared to death that they are going to
be either shown for what they've been doing and how
partisan it is, or they're going to be their people
are going to be so r rate that they're all
going to get thrown out of there, and you're going
to have a toss who's going to be running all
of that bureaucracy and it just might become a fair
thing like it was forty or fifty years ago, where

(01:40:06):
the people really weren't part isn't. And I think that's
part of what is scaring the stuffing out of them,
because there is because if they thought about it, there's
no rational position they can take that says we have
to berate them for letting people know where their tax
dollars are going. That's a crazy position that even if
they had enough common sense and weren't running around with
their heads cut off because of all the stuff Trump's doing,

(01:40:27):
they would realize that this is a really stupid thing
and someone needs to pull them aside, hopefully, I guess,
for their own good to tell them this is really stupid.
Let them show where the money goes. If it's bad,
well then you're gonna have to eat it. If it's not, well,
then you've done a good job and you can brag
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, So, Jim,
as people look into the USAID now, which is of
course all of our favorites when it comes to agencies,
I'm going to miss it if it goes away. One
of the things I found interesting, though, is they spent

(01:41:01):
a lot of money because it's US agency for International Development.
Yet they spent millions of dollars on subscriptions to American
publications and news outlets, which I find to be very fascinating,

(01:41:22):
many of which those news outlets were not very friendly
to Donald Trump, and at first I didn't believe it.
I doubled triple quadruple check. I thought this has to
be some bs. But lo and behold, No, it's true.
That is an odd, odd thing.

Speaker 30 (01:41:40):
Yeah, why we were white international agency was paying a
US government or a US local operation is beyond me.

Speaker 20 (01:41:48):
That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Speaker 30 (01:41:49):
The fact they're paying all left wing media, as we
talked about earlier, they're all left wing media sites.

Speaker 20 (01:41:54):
I don't see the Daily Wire getting any money.

Speaker 30 (01:41:56):
I don't see anything else that you know that is
on a right wing side of it, getting any money
from all of these. Brian Stelter was out there last
night just basically just you know, calling.

Speaker 20 (01:42:07):
Everybody passing misinformation.

Speaker 30 (01:42:08):
You don't understand how this works, you don't understand what
the point of this was, and people who are just
ripping him because there's like no basically he's trying to
back up a CNN article on it and he's just
getting He was just getting roasted because it was just
wasn't flying. Whatever he was trying to pass off as
the truth in quotes wasn't flying because it just didn't
add up, and he was just trying to cover for

(01:42:30):
them for some reason, and it was just ridiculous. And
there's other ones out there. The New York Times was
getting money, Like you said, you know, they're all left
the operations. And again, that's why I think they're really
concerned about this, is because if you really showed where
their taxpayer's dollars were going, I think you might even
irritate some of the people on the left, at least
some of the middle people on the left are going, why,
you know, why are we spending all this money? We

(01:42:50):
got a two trillion dollar deficit. And sure, okay, fifty
billion dollars is not going to cut a big hole
in that two trillion dollar deficit. But if it's bad
here where else, is it bad throughout the government?

Speaker 20 (01:43:00):
Where else?

Speaker 30 (01:43:01):
Because I know they were freaking out on Monday, because
they were because the guy that ran the US payment
system at the Treasury Department wouldn't turn over the codes
to the new political appointees. So they send Elon in
to basically get his guys to basically go in there
and crack the passwords because the guy wouldn't turn them over.
And then and then on late Friday night he resigned

(01:43:21):
and wouldn't turn over the information. So like I'm out
of here and they couldn't get into the payment system
to a make payments and b show where the payments
had gone for the last four years just probably what
more so they were trying to hide. So yeah, so
it is crazy. As he started getting into this stuff.
This doesn't seem to be going well for the left,
as much as they want to protest about it. But
just showing people, like I said, where their money's going

(01:43:43):
is not a winning is it just not going to
be a winning battle for them?

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Absolutely, Jim Kennedy Kennedy into public policy research. Good talking
to you, brother. We'll do it again next week.

(01:45:22):
We're gonna wrap it up straight ahead. This is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 14 (01:45:36):
If you like talk radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 36 (01:45:43):
I mean, in less than a month, Carla could have
become the Academy's first openly trans Best Actress winner, But
now that hype train has completely gone off the rails
as she is engulfed by a social media scandal over
her past. Some call racist and Islamophobic tweets. I'm neither

(01:46:06):
racist nor anything that all these people have tried to
make others believe I am, she said, speaking in Spanish
on CNN without Netflix's approval, Carla defended herself against the
revelation of her offensive posts targeting Islam and George Floyd.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
Now, you guys know my love hate relationship with the
movie Amelia Prez. If you don't know what it is,
it's thirteen Oscar nominations for a movie abouts and again
it's insane. A cartel leader who wants to live his
now her true life and become a trans woman. It's insane,

(01:46:44):
right Like it's a parody. You would think and this
Carla Gascone is the star of the movie, and so
she had these offensive tweets, and we'll get to those
in a second, but this may have been my favorite
of all of the tweets. Now she's denied that, but
it's kind of funny, and it's about Selena Gomez.

Speaker 36 (01:47:03):
In October, during our interview, Carla was praising Selena Gomez's
work playing her character's wife.

Speaker 2 (01:47:09):
It's a lot of work, but it's so creative and beautiful.

Speaker 36 (01:47:13):
But another alleged tweet from Carla two years earlier refers
to her on screen wife as a.

Speaker 2 (01:47:19):
Rich rat metaphidia see as a look at the oimoch.

Speaker 36 (01:47:23):
I would never refer to her that way, she says.
Carla now claims that x post is fake.

Speaker 12 (01:47:29):
Carla has deactivated her Twitter account, so it's really hard
to tell.

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
But I think the damage is there because all those
other tweets are pretty bad. They're not that bad. The
average person would go, that's really not that bad. She
criticized Islam for the way that they treat women. She
said in her home country Spain, that there are more
and more people of the Muslim faith and that when

(01:47:53):
she picks her kid up she thinks, Eh, we're gonna
probably have to teach Arabic now instead of English as
a second language, because everybody in Europe learns English. It's
it's hilarious. But George Floyd, she said he was a
drug addict and a swindler and that nobody cared about
him till he died. Oh, that's just mean.

Speaker 8 (01:48:13):
It's horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
She also made fun of the oscars and how ridiculous
it is. She thought she was watching a eight million
woman march with the BLM and an Afro Korean independent
film festival. Oh geez, I know right. I mean, good God,
get over yourselves people. The director came out and said

(01:48:35):
that she needs to leave everybody alone and stop hurting them.
Oh good god, Hey, Carla, very mannish thing you did there.
That's some balls. That's what it took. That's the old Carlin.
You's what we're trying to say. I don't think that
was a nice chat. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at his text? The program right here
on The Chad Benson Show, solid fun show to I'm

(01:49:00):
sure there'll be more chaos throughout the day and the evening.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring with the doughe with
Elon Musk, how many people will take the buyouts. Oh
my god, there's so much happening. As for us, We're
gonna go about our day doing what we do. We
keep our heads up, we root for America, and we

(01:49:24):
laugh at the ridiculousness of all of this crazy theatrics
in the world of politics and pop culture. You guys,
have yourself a blessed rest of your day and nights
as always, Night Night Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:40):
