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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're a month in to the Donald Trump reigned. What
are people saying? How will it end up? My goodness, me,
I don't know. We're a month in. What'd you expect
in a month everything?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Chad?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
He's supposed to turn the entire world around.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Chad.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I've told you there's going to be some good, there's
going to be some bad. At the end of the day,
it's probably going to be a push Welcome to the
world we live in. Somebody wants to we did the
Great disruptor. Yeah, he's going to disrupt a little bit.
You know that the media is going to overrack. But
is it going to change all that much? No, politics
is a beast. I've said since the beginning of the doge,

(00:56):
before he'd even won the presidency. Good luck with that
seventy five lawsuits right now, but Chatty's firing. All these
people were saving all this money. How much have we
really saved? Now he wants to give us some no thanks.
I thought the whole goal was to put it back
into the massive debt that we're in. I want Trump

(01:21):
to succeed. I want every president to succeed. Do I
think he's going to. I think in some cases he
absolutely is when it comes to immigration, several other things
that the common person says, Yeah, this is a good idea.
Do I think some of it's going to be throw
it against the wall, see what sticks and it won't stick?

(01:42):
I think so. Do I think it's going to collapse
in the next couple days? No, James Carville.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
You know, it seems that the angrier Democrats get, the
more it feeds into exactly what Donald Trump and Elon
Moss want. Meaning Box News plays sound bites of Democrats
heads exploding as sort of sport. So what should they do?

(02:07):
From a media or political perspective, This is.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
What I believe.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
I'll believe that this administration in less than thirty days,
in the midst of a massive collapse, and particularly a
collapse in public opinion.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Once I saw a Harvard Youth poll for damn good poll,
He's gone from fifty three approval to under thirty to
thirty nine.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's a collapse, is it?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Really? If you go and look and see what Trump
had before in his first rate, he never got anywhere
close to you even have fifty percent at any given time.
What you're going to have is both sides have about
forty percent support, and then there's twenty percent that will
throw you some support, but then panic when things don't
go perfectly, and then they'll change course because we are

(02:56):
a knee jerk reaction kind of country.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
What I've said very published that Democrats need to play possum.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
This whole thing is collapsing.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
It doesn't need Elizabeth Warren and somebody's screaming to pacify
some progressive advercy groups in Washington, which, by the way.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I wish these people were just useless. They're actually worse
than useless.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
That they're detrimental and they never ever learned to shut up.
And all we need to do is pick it five
hundred yards from the stone wall. It's going to be
easy pickings here in six weeks.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Just lay back, okay, James Carville, just lay back, Just
lay on back, guys, it's easy pick In six weeks,
it's over.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
You literally think thirty days to six weeks. The Trump
administration is effectively going to collapse in terms of public support.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well, it's collapsing right now. We're in the midst of
a collapse.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
This is the lowest approval, not even close that any
president has ever had at a comparable time. So they're
not going to be able to get a debt extraction
pretty clear. I don't think they're going to be able
to pass reconciliation, but I'm not sure. But they're going
to have to go to Hakki and that is going
to be the equivalent of stacking ms.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
It's Oh.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
I think the House Democrat I think they know exactly
what they're doing. I don't know exactly what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Okay, I will tell you this though. For as bad
as he says the numbers are for Trump, the Democrat
numbers are far worse. So that's not much No that
the numbers aren't going to be great right now. There's
a lot going on. People are scared. They're being told
every single day, my god, the world's coming going ahead.
Trump has got rid of this, and Trump has got

(04:37):
rid of that, and the Doge did this, and billionaires
a runn everything. They run around with yourself security number
of the dark web and they're selling it, yo bike.
What do numbers really look like? It's a mixed bag.
There's no doubt about that. We like change. How fast
can change come? Those are two separate things. Because we

(05:00):
I change and we say we wanted fast, but do
we really wanted that fast? Because people panic.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
Walk us through how Americans are feeling about President Trump
as we're now a month into his second term.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
These are poles, four of them released over the last week.
And you might notice there's a lot of red on
the screen and a lot of negatives. Trump is underwater
and all these poles is not approval rate. And look
at this, minus five points in the CNN poll, minus
six points in gallop, minus seven points in ipsos, minus
four points of Quinnipiac negative, negative, negative, and then negative.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
He is underwater in all of these poles.

Speaker 8 (05:32):
As I said earlier this week, he's a little bit
like the Little Mermaid underwater, underwater.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Now that being said, I expect this. You're gonna have ups,
You're gonna have downs. You're gonna have ups, You're gonna
have downs. All you hear about is how bad things are.
All you hear about is how horrible things are. It's
the same old, same from a group of people who,
by the way, are a horrible death when it comes

(06:01):
to their numbers. And I'm talking about the the establishment media.
And we'll get to that a little bit later. Bye bye,
Joy Reid. Not a joy for you. I'll tell you
that right now. No, I didn't expect his numbers to
be great, and I expected there to be a bit
of fear, and there's tons of that. But look what
he's doing to the Doge. And there was an email sent.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
Down at and you can see the trend line here.
It ain't good for President Trump. It ain't good and gallop.
He's down five points on an approval Quinnipiac down seven points,
and the reutership So Paul, get this down thirteen points,
and you can see how much Trump's numbers have taken
a dive, how much they've taken a.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Dive since he's come into office.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
The bottom line is a month and voters are not
liking what Trump's doing compared to how they thought they'd
feel a month ago.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
What has he done? Still in the midst of the
battle with Ukraine and Russia and trying to get that
sorted out. See what has happens with Israel. There's a
nightmare continuing over there, especially with the way that they
handled Palestine, the transfer of the bodies last week, which
was just appalling egg prices. We'll get to up, people,

(07:16):
worried about inflation, worried about a slowdown. All of these
things are front and center, and yeah, Trump's gonna have
to deal with them. And then the doge, which is
just suck the air out of every single situation when
it comes to anything in the world of politics. And
then what about all of his controversial nominees just hilarious.

(07:44):
But aren't you worried? No, No, I don't think the
world's coming to an end, and I don't think Donald
Trump is ushering in the end of mankind or America
as we know it. But the polls, poles or polls.
We're a very fickle group. How many times I tell
you guys that we are so fickle in so many things.

(08:09):
The minute we give a group power, we want to
take it away because we don't think they're going to
be checked. So we have the extreme swings from one
to another. Even today, one of the poles of the
many pole. There's so many poles out there right now.
What do Democrats want? They want their party to be
far more moderate, think a little bit about morals, and

(08:33):
come into line with the rest of the world with
things like I don't know, kids shouldn't choose their gender.
It two, or maybe boys shouldn't play sports with girls
when they're actually men playing against women. Oh maybe. Obviously,

(08:53):
the economy a big help to Trump in his first term.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
What about now?

Speaker 8 (08:57):
This to me is the biggest shaker of all of that,
because you can recall even when Trump was underwater during
pretty much all of his first term, he was positive
on the economy.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Trump's not approval rating on the economy.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
In February twenty seventeen, he was five points above water
in the average pole.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Look get where he is now.

Speaker 8 (09:15):
The economy, which was once his bread and butter, has
all of a sudden been something that is holding him back.
He's actually doing worse on the economy than he is
doing overall in the average poll.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
That to me is just shocking, is it?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Because it's always about the economy? Stupid it is? Now
do I judge him on the first month? No? I
think by day ninety year stuff should be rolling. So
he's on the clock, There's no doubt about that. But
he's on the clock in two ways. And we've touched
on this. Trump doesn't have four years. Trump has about
another year, maybe thirteen months to put this thing on

(09:56):
a path where people feel good, they feel confident that
they should give the Republicans more time, because if things
don't go the way that people think they're going to go,
hope that they're going to go with their vote, you
will see congressmen and women and senators lose their position.

(10:18):
Then what do you have? Not only are you elame
duck because you're you're done right, you've served your two terms,
but also you're in a position now where you look
over and you've got now Democrats running everything, which, as
we all know, what could possibly happen at that point

(10:40):
in time, trouble. Trouble.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
Indeed, that is shocking because Trump won on the economy
and just like with Joe Biden, inflation and the economy
eight the Joe Biden presidency alive. Voters elected Trump to
change the course of the economy, and so far what's happening.
Trump's not changing the enemy. The economy is changing. Voters'
views on Donald Trump. They are negative, Yes.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
They are. I think you have to give them more
than a month. Like I said ninety days in at
that point in time, your stuff should be rolling and
you got to stick with the people. Say some of
the stuff that we're doing is going to cause some pain.
Some of the stuff that we're doing is going to
cause some people to feel a little bit more. We're
gonna have to be more austere, tighten our belts. But

(11:26):
the bigger point is we're playing the long game and
not the short game. And if you stick with people,
people will respect that. Doesn't mean they'll be thrilled by
what's going on, but they will respect that. And you
have a better opportunity to have that message carry on
through while you try to rebuild. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Eggs are expensive? Could they get worse? Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (13:14):
Egg prices continue to soar up another fifteen percent in
just the last month, shoppers now seeing a dozen eggs
costing ninety six percent more than this time last year.
The USDA says what's different now is that the shortages
are affecting nearly the entire country, with confirmed bird flu

(13:34):
outbreaks in nine states resulting in the loss of nearly
twenty seven million birds.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh my god, what will we do? Tell you what?
If you go places, maybe, especially if you're gonna eat there,
eggs may not be the thing you want because they're
so damn expensive.

Speaker 9 (13:54):
Restaurants especially feeling the pinch. One popular breakfast spot in
Fresno goes through five thousand eggs per week, which now
costs an extra three thousand dollars every week. Some bakeries
are now turning to plant based egg alternatives to save money.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Remember how you cookie taste good, Well, now it's gonna suck. Ah,
chad sucks. It's the bird flu. It happens once in
a while. This will get better. It's gonna take a
few months, though it is, so egg prices are going
to be up. If we're here talking about egg prices
this time next year and the bird flu is long gone,

(14:33):
then we have some serious issues at this point in time.
It's an issue with the egg giver, which of course
is the hen the egg giver, because they've had to
destroy so many of the egg givers because of the flu.
Speaking of the flu and people not doing well, the.

Speaker 10 (14:53):
Pope, what we know is that the Pope has been
hospitalized since February fourteenth, following difficulties. He was diagnosed with
double pneumonia on Tuesday, which basically means he has pneumonia
in both lungs according to the Vatican, and on Saturday,
the Vatican said he was in critical condition after a
respiratory crisis. So as of Sunday, he remained in critical condition,

(15:16):
but the Vatican said he was no longer in an
acute crisis or respiratory crisis.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
He's eighty eight. At eighty eight, everything is a potential
something or other. Am I right? I think I'm right.
When you're eighty eight, you patch yourself by date. There's
still a chance that something could happen three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Menson Show's

(15:43):
your Twitter tweet at US text the program right here
in the Jad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (15:50):
So our holy father Pope Francis is in very, very
fragile health and probably close to death.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
That's cardon Timothy Dolan, who must want to job. That's
what the whole movie Conclave is about, the politics of poping,
if you will, So are we gonna get it? Get what?
You know? The chimney stuff. I always find that fascinating.
But there is politics in poping, because much like everything,

(16:17):
when you rise to a certain level, it's not about
why you're there and what got you there in your
belief it's about politics, and as we know right now,
this pope in particular is very political. Hmmm, you know
it's not political. Roughgreens, ruff Greens dot Com, vitamins, minerals, probiotics,

Speaker 1 (18:00):

Speaker 2 (18:02):
The Doge grabs the headlines. It's very interesting though, because
we already have a fight amongst the Doge, because emails
have gone out says hey, you better figure out exactly
what it is you do and let us know exactly
what it is that you do. What did you do
last week? That's the question.

Speaker 13 (18:22):
Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team insists
all federal workers must answer in an email, Musk adding
on a social media platform X that failure to respond
will be taken as a resignation. Three sources to NBC
News those emails were already being received by federal employees Saturday,
asking them to send five bullet points of what they

(18:43):
accomplished last week, but noting employees should not include classified information.
The deadline for replying sop for Monday at eleven fifty
nine pm.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh now, while that's all going on, you've got Republicans
people that Trump has chosen saying ignore what he is
sending you, including Cash Betel, who outright said, don't answer
the email. Don't answer the email, ignore it. Oh my lord,

(19:15):
noah nssay employees were told to do the same. State
Department employees were also told not to respond. Oh my god,
is their trouble? Who knows? It's all theatrics anyway, idiots.

Speaker 14 (19:27):
That's all we're doing when you think is keeping up promises.

Speaker 13 (19:30):
That so the President touting those efforts at the SEAPAC
conference Saturday afternoon, speaking to a crowd of his most
fervent supporters. After pushing Musk and his doge team to
get more aggressive.

Speaker 14 (19:41):
The freudsters, liars, cheers, globalists, and deep state bureaucrats are
being sent back.

Speaker 13 (19:47):
In the latest cuts hitting the Pentagon, President Trump dismissing
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General C. Q. Brown,
only the second black general to serve as the country's
highest ranking military officer fired at Melissa Franketty, the first
female officer to rise to the Navy's top job. Several
top lawyers for the Navy, air Force, and the Army

(20:09):
also dismissed.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
What's gonna happen, nohing, It's not the first time this
has happened. It won't be the last. But there's growing
There's always growing concerns. Have you ever done ever? Says never,
growing concerns amongst the left and the media. It's just
always about the right. Growing concerns. Things are happening too fast.
People are losing their mind, people are being fired. We

(20:32):
can't stop it.

Speaker 13 (20:33):
The president's rapid remake of the federal government facing pushback
in town halls hosted by Republican lawmakers I think executive orders,
and fierce criticism by Democrats.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
The Trump believes he can do anything he wants to do.

Speaker 13 (20:52):
A recent Washington Pulse pull shows the president's early actions
are unpopular, supported by just forty three percent of Americans,
fifty seven percent of respondence telling the Post they believe
the president has exceeded his authority. This as the US
and Ukraine are continuing to work on a deal that
could give the US valuable rights to Ukrainian rare minerals.

Speaker 14 (21:13):
Oh, I want them to give us something for all
of the money.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
That we put up, and I'm going to try and get.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
The war settled. We'll find out if he can. I
think he will. Some of what he wants is upon
a bunch of that natural resources. Those things matter. Make
get some of those natural resources. Maybe you know what
I'm talking about. I what matters to you and I
is can we pay for life? That's it? Everything else?
Is theatrics not going to affect you? It isn't. Well,

(21:40):
there were angry people at town halls, of course there is.
There's always angry people at town halls. It doesn't matter
where it is, doesn't matter how good things are going.
There's angry people at town halls everywhere. And how many
of them were Trump supporters then showed up before this,
Well you might have a.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Few that are.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
They're worried. They're worried because it's moving too fast, that's understandable.
They're worried because it's a little bit uncomfortable with the
way things are going. Is he overreaching? There is seventy
five lawsuits out there right now. Seventy five looks doge
and against the Trump administration, and that is going to

(22:20):
continue for the entirety of his presidential run here all
the way through until he turns himself out. Doesn't matter
how good things are, you have to be seen as
part of the resistance or else. What will matter is
what we started the show with. The economy stupid and

(22:43):
you've got to give him some time, right, I mean,
you can't just go thirty days. Well, he said, come on,
So the economy and if by I would say May June.
Things aren't rolling the economy. He's in a lot of trouble.

(23:04):
So the economy, the economy, the economy, everything else, it's
going to play itself out over time. The doage so
much of this, I don't care how many they fired
or they said we're gotten rid of this, so we
got rid of that, or USAD doesn't exist anymore. And
it's all of these things, for the most part, are
going to be decided in a courtroom. This is bureaucracy

(23:31):
at its finest. And while I see all these democrats
out there, MSNBC did this big thing with all of
these people that have been released, let go by. It's
a montage by federal workers.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
I'm al It Smarlon.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
I am doctor Ben Andrew.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
My name's Cody Anderson.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
My name is Katie Sanlon. My name is Andrew Lennox.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
My name is Nick Hannt.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'm Riley Rackliffe.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
My name is Jonathan Cammons.

Speaker 15 (23:57):
I oversawt cybersecurity for the VA dot websites, and about
a third of USDs, including me, were fired last week
Without people like me ensuring that vadf OF is secure,
the private financial and healthcare data of American veterans is
at risk of being stolensaulted the highest bidder and used
to harm people.

Speaker 16 (24:14):
We are standing in you send me at National Park
for the.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Past ten months.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
I was a castilia worker here.

Speaker 17 (24:19):
I picked diapers off the side of rough toilet paper, beer,
bile cigarette.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
But you name it so you didn't have to see it.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Oh wow, so brave, Oh Chad, a very nice Jad.
It's just such theatrics. Seventeen hundred people let go from southwest.
I didn't see any of them going. I'm was southwest.
I was no, no, I have to see any of that.
How many people were like going for meta last week?

(24:46):
We go on and on, there were many many many
more people let go in the private sector and nary
a word from the Democrats. This is bureaucracy fighting for
a bureaucracy. That's what this is. So her name is
Joy Reid. And if you know, and I know, there

(25:07):
hasn't been a lot of joy with Reid. Joy's been
let go by ms I know, I know by MSNBC
was a sad, sad situation with tens of fifteens of
twenties of people watching her on a mostly week daily.
I didn't even know what she was on at this
point in time. The entire MSNBC lineup as a hot mess,

(25:29):
and they're trying to fix it. But they decided yesterday
they had gone as far as they could with Joy
and the joy was over because Joy read she figured
it all out.

Speaker 18 (25:38):
Donald Trump had one crisis. It was called the pandemic.
You bollixed it. Trump is casting his administration like it's
a reality TV show. That was not an American president
giving an acceptance speech that was a monarch like what
Castro used to do in a Mussolini moment. You know,
a member of the old Russian czar family. We do
have a fascist ground swell in small pockets among black

(26:01):
and brown men too.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
They as a black Nazis ving don't care about Joe Biden.

Speaker 18 (26:06):
He could roll around in a wheelchair, he could be
on a skateboard. Donald Trump cannot be allowed back into
the White House. Trump was returned to the presidency after
staging a coup. It's the elephant in the room, still
a brown lady. She's getting birthered by Donald Trump. Targeting
trans people is an age old tradition which Nazi Germany did.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Goho I got to vote for in November to keep
Hitler aut the White House.

Speaker 18 (26:27):
Like Trump, Hitler was also viewed as a clown, a
goon to our local gangster. Donald Trump is already spending
his time sitting in his golden palace mar A Lago,
muscling other countries like he's Tony Soprano who the social
media site and they will control enough electoral vote to
never have to worry.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
About another presidential election.

Speaker 18 (26:45):
Iowa is about sixty one percent evangelical, white Christian. They
see themselves as the rightful inheritors of this country. Republican
voters don't vote that way. They don't vote based on economics.
They're voting on race. It's him or Trump. It's literally
you go to a dinner and your choices are steak.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Or a pile of poo.

Speaker 19 (27:03):
She's done in a box of rot.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well done, Anthony put that together for us. What a
great that is perfect. That sums her up to a t.
By the way, we're going to go through some of
her insane things that she put out there, including in
March twenty twenty one, Reid claim conservatives would trade tax
cuts for the ability to openly say the N word.

(27:30):
If it wasn't for people like me and others out
there in the world of media, whether it be on
the left or the right, but mostly conservative media, nobody
would pay attention to MSNBC. I'm going to give you
the numbers right now between CNN and MSNBC. Let's just
put it this way. The worst show on Fox crushes

(27:54):
the best show they have on c and MSNBC. This
is embarrassing. The numbers. CNN out drew MSNBC amongst adults
twenty five to fifty four for the month, averaging eighty
thousand such viewers for a full day, and one hundred
and eighteen thousand in primetime. MSNBC forty five thousand and

(28:18):
sixty three thousand, Fox two hundred and fifty three thousand,
and in primetime three hundred and fifty three thousand for
the All Important twenty five to fifty four. It's embarrassing
how bad they have fallen, and they continue to fall
because they're awful at what they do. Now they're pivoting
and they're gonna go more niche, more progressive, because they're like,

(28:42):
our goal is to eventually have nobody watching our shows.

Fun nineties too, not hate filled nineties, not very nice.

(33:14):
Oh I love it, I love it. You know what
I don't love bombs and planes. That was closed yesterday, right,
kind of sort of not surreal to watch, if you
guys haven't seen it. Plane heading to I think New Delhi,
And there was a email that came out said there's
a momb on displane and there was fighter jets flying

(33:39):
alongside of it, which had to be a little nerve wracking.

Speaker 22 (33:41):
American Airlines Flight two ninety two departed New York's JFK
Airport Saturday night with one hundred and ninety nine passengers
and fifteen crew on board, headed for New Delhi, India,
abruptly turning around over the Caspian Sea and flying to Rome,
where American has a base of operations.

Speaker 15 (33:57):
The captain came on and said that there was a
diversion due to a security issue, as.

Speaker 22 (34:03):
Senior official telling ABC News, the flight was diverted due
to a bomb threat received over email, though the threat
was deemed to be non credible. Indian officials insisting the
aircraft be inspected prior to its landing.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
It was a long flight. This is what a lot
of people were saying, but it was just weird because
there were planes, fighter jets flying alongside of it making
sure that well, who knows what this precaution?

Speaker 3 (34:28):
That's what you do.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
That's what you remember. We used to talk about how
expensive stuff was, how frustrated you were because you got bomped.
Now it seems like every day something's going on. Let's
get back to the good old fashioned Things are getting
more expensive rather than planes may have issues.

Speaker 23 (34:43):
An airline trade group predicts a four percent increase in
travelers between March first and April thirtieth.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Airfares will be up by about four percent as well.

Speaker 23 (34:52):
Experts recommend avoiding travel around Eastern and Passover to save
some money. Orlando and Las Vegas are some of the
top destination.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Because that's what you want to do. Orlando in Las
Vegas because nothing says resurrection of Christ like that. What
are you guys doing going to Vegas? I see, I see,
this will be interesting. So what Jesus would have wanted?
Because I need to get back some of that money.

Speaker 23 (35:17):
I need to.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Resurrect my dollar bills. Yo, oh jeez. Chad three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson

TV as well. That is on the YouTube, Like and
subscribe there in our Facebook as well. Right here in
the Chad Benson Show coming up, people freaking out about

(35:41):
the Doge. I get very interesting conversation with somebody on
the interwebs. They're very upset with the Doge and it's understandable. Look,
it's not gonna be perfect. There are seventy five lawsuits
right now out there, and I understand the nerve nervness
of some people about what's happening. But the reality is
this is going to take place over months and months

(36:04):
and months and not weeks and hours, despite how fast
things are moving, because there are laws in place to
protect some of these people. In other situations, there's gonna
be tons of lawsuits. And now you're even seeing pushback
inside of the administration. So we'll talk about that bunch
of other stuff in Missity Show Great the podcast Chat
Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:51):
It's the Battle of the Poles, No, not poland talking
about Trump. Are his poll numbers good? Are as bad?
Who gives a rats ass doesn't matter, None of it matters.
How do you feel.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Well?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Chat? It does matter because if I'm right with the Poles,
I get nothing, and if I'm wrong, I also get nothing.
My polls are great, My polls are horrible. My polls
are the best. My poles are the worst. Who cares?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
You know?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
People care about can they feed their family?

Speaker 4 (37:26):
You know what? People care about? Eggs?

Speaker 2 (37:31):
How expensive damn eggs are? Are we gonna be taking
on some of the nightmare debt and actually trying to
whittle it down. But you had all that people care
about our polls. That's it, That's all that matters.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
A Washington Post episodes polls shows fifty three percent of
Americans disapprove of what Trump has done since taking office.
Fifty seven percent said Trump has gone beyond his authority
as president, and only thirty four percent approve of how
Musk has handled his role. Republican lawmakers starting to feel
the heat.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
We are all freaking pissed off about this.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Angry Americans across the country from Georgia to Kansas.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
You're gonna hear it and feel it.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
In the district near Atlanta, Republican Congressman Rich McCormick facing
tough questions.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Let me ask you this. I just got an alert
twelve hundred people been laid off at Starbucks. So are
we gonna now go and throw a fit? Is that gonna?
Is that what's gonna happen? Are we gonna now go
and make sure that we have our voice heard? How

(38:41):
dare you let go of people from Starbucks? How dare
you you know you can't do that? No, we're not
gonna do any of that stuff, none of it because
people don't care. They care because this has become political.

(39:04):
That's what they care about. They don't care about anything
other than that. It's a chance to say my side
wins something or lose to something. I've did this or
they did that. They're wrong, they're lying. That's all this
is about. We're a month in and the hair on
fire is tremendous. We don't even have hair left anymore

(39:27):
at this point in time. Everybody's hair's just gone up
in GISTs like that, like Michael Jackson filming a pepsi commercial.

Speaker 18 (39:35):
Americans voted for you on the immigration and the economy,
but these voters say they're angry and frustrated by these firings.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
They don't like the work of Elon Musk.

Speaker 16 (39:43):
Why do you say that?

Speaker 3 (39:47):
No wonder?

Speaker 14 (39:51):
I have today the highest poll numbers that I've ever had.
They liked the job that we're doing. They like the
job that Elon's doll and he's doing something that a
lot of people wouldn't have the courage to do, a
streamline our country. We were in a streamline because you
know why, because we want our country to survive and thrive.
And we're finding billions and billions of dollars of waste,
fraud and abuse.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Are we?

Speaker 2 (40:14):
I mean, do you want the truth? Eh, we're a
long way from finding the billions and billions. We're cutting
some and if you add it up so far, it's
been fifty five billion, it's been seven point two billion.
Excuse me, Yeah, Well, what about the one hundred and
fifty two hundred year old who are receiving checks? That's
not true? What do you mean it's not true? Now

(40:39):
they keep them on the rolls, but they don't get
any money. I mean, so that's none of that's true.

Speaker 17 (40:46):
So what.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I told you guys from the beginning deureacracy is that
you want to know what the deep state is it's
not the deep state, it's the gooey middle that you
need to worry about. The guey middle is bureaucracy. The
gooey middle is insanity of how many people does it
take to push a piece of paper from point A
to point B when we should be doing it quickly online,

(41:13):
but instead we do things in an old fashioned way
by sucking at it. But his numbers, Chad, they're down,
They're big for him.

Speaker 24 (41:22):
I believe that Donald Trump it does have the highest
pulling that he has had from Trump one or and whatnot,
so he's not wrong in that.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
But he is doing a really great job.

Speaker 24 (41:34):
I think of reorganizing the government to keep a solvent
for the long term, and that's the key thing. I
don't think that people are going to fully recognize the
great work that he's doing to balance the budget until
it is several years from now, which means voters are
not going to initially agree with maybe some of the
chaotic nature of the reorganization of the government the efficiencies

(41:54):
that we are going to come up with us, But
in the long term, once we are decreasing taxes, is
achieving a budget that is sustainable for long term. That
is going to be very popular, I think for the
long term.

Speaker 16 (42:07):
And he's not wrong on that.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Anybody who really takes on trying to get down the debt,
anybody who is really serious about taking this on, no,
they're not going to be popular because when you have
to do stuff that's real, when you have to do
stuff where you know, this is what I have to do,

(42:32):
it's an unpopular thing. And nobody will talk about the
things that we need to do to actually face this
giant debt we have that is passing all of our
other stuff. Wait till it's the biggest thing we have
servicing it so we continue to pay the minimum on

(42:55):
our credit card on a meal we bought five years ago.
That's where we're headed right now, and it is not popular,
and you have to be a disruptor. That being said,
people i think will look upon that at a later

(43:15):
date in a much different way because I've always said
legacies aren't built in the moment, They're built through the moment,
and you have to let them breathe. This is a situation, though,
where we care about us at this moment in time.
How are things going? Well, He's only been in there

(43:37):
for a month, if you expect him to change everything
in a month. My god, when he changes something, people
freak out about it. Well, he said he was going
to change something. That's why I hired him. Then he
changed it, but I didn't like that. Okay, it's going
to take time.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
He has.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Like I've been saying, let's say give it till May June. People,
the economy is struggling and inflation is starting to spike again.
Then yeah, there's going to be some serious issues. But
this is a long term thing, and this is not
an easy fix.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
At all.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
And the Democrats, for all the talk about, well, look
how bad his numbers are, the reality is his numbers
are the best they've ever been because they were awful
to start with. In his last presidency, he didn't even
get the one hundred days. And the Democrats, your numbers
are the worst, far worse than Trump's, and you're just

(44:40):
going to keep swinging and missing.

Speaker 25 (44:42):
Some of your colleagues have been saying that America is
in a quote constitutional crisis.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
This is a constitutional crisis.

Speaker 16 (44:49):
It's the most serious assault in our constitution in the
history of this country.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Cedator.

Speaker 25 (44:53):
As you know, Democrats just lost an election largely with
The closing argument accusing Trump of a threat to the democracy,
is that the most effective messaging right now?

Speaker 26 (45:04):
Well, I think the most effective messaging is talking about
the crisis is happening to Americans.

Speaker 25 (45:09):
So don't they shouldn't be talking about cross I'm.

Speaker 26 (45:11):
Saying, we should be talking about what's happening to Americans.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Okay, that's what matters, what happens to Americans. Go and
look at the numbers. The numbers say they want you
guys more moderate, and they want their Republicans more moderate.
It's the exhaust majority we talk about all the time.
We want common sense, and common sense isn't as common
as you think. Corey Booker, I had one.

Speaker 26 (45:31):
Of the biggest hospital leaders in my state call me
up and talk about the cancer research that's now in crisis,
literally ruining years of research, literally having to take a
cancer treatments away from people, cutting edge breakthrough treatments. What's
crazy is crisis when you have planes falling from the
sky and you're cutting FAA. Folks, it is a crisis

(45:53):
when nuclear regulatories who are keeping are safe regulators are
being cut.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Settle down with the FA planes from this planes are
really falling from this guy, because four hundred people were
removed from the forty thousand workforce and they were mostly
admin folks. If that's true, then nobody should fly today
because it has nothing to do with air traffic control.
It has all to do with the fact that apparently

(46:21):
life has changed, so is gravity and flying and we
better stay away from it.

Speaker 26 (46:26):
Everywhere in America, red states and blue states, we are
seeing real crises that Elon Musk, who's a billionaire who
never has to think about whereas next meal is coming from,
where his medical treatment and how that will be paid for.
Americans are feeling a crisis right now and they're feeling
pain that to them was unimaginable and a president they
put their trust in that would lower their prices and

(46:47):
make their lives more easily, not do things that make
us so much less safe.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Four weeks. It's been there for four weeks. You guys
had four years to run the government. Four years. You
crapped on it from day one, and over time, you
built up a ridiculous amount of illegal immigration, You built
up more and more debt, you pushed insane ideas, and

(47:15):
let's not forget the economy and inflation that was over
four years. You want him to fix it over a month,
You're gonna have to give him some time. You might
not like it, but that's the reality of it. These
things take time. I'm not saying forever. Like I said,
come the summertime. If things aren't rolling well, you're getting

(47:37):
towards that may Ish area. People feel an uncomfortable Memorial
Day weekend. Things aren't very good. People are gonna have
serious questions right now. This is hair on fire. Nothing
wrong with being a hair on fire. I don't have
any hair, so I don't really care. But at what
point is it his economy? That's a fair question. Like
I said, you gotta give him to the middle of

(47:58):
the year, the Mayish Jewish kind of area, and then
we go from there. But to say that all of
this is his fault after thirty days is ridiculous. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

A lot of stuff to get to. We talked a
little bit about the Ukraine and a romance scam that
cost the lives of some elderly men. So Chad Bentichow.

Speaker 27 (49:48):
Chad Benson, Russian launching it's biggest ever drone strike on Ukraine.
The capital city of Kiev under attack, anti aircraft file
lighting up the night sky. Ukraine has weathered assaults like
these every single day for almost three years, but now
President Zelensky under political attack too. Engaged in a bitter
war of words with President Trump, who called him a

(50:08):
dictator for not holding elections.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Yeah, that was I said that last week, and there
was bunk. He's pushing for mineral rights, which I got
no problem with. For those who not up to date,
Trump wants, hey, you think all this was charity. That
was the last guy.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
If you want our help, you're gonna give us access
to a ton of your minerals. And Zelensky doesn't want
to do that, not the way that that Trump wants it,
which is basically, give us access to all your minerals
in perpetuity, and we probably won't do a lot for you,
just in think, just in case things go sideways again.

Speaker 27 (50:44):
The Ukrainian leader telling me he's ready to resign if
it means peace and he offered to stand down if
it meant membership of NATO, saying I'll do it immediately
without a long conversation about it.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
There's something interesting now. The question is going to be
coming up. You've got a couple days where you've got
European leaders meeting with Trump. What are they going to
be able to do? Because Trump's big thing is why
should we care more about this than you guys do,
which again I got zero proms with I don't know
why anybody would be if we get attacked from I

(51:16):
don't know, juamlo whatever it is. Am I expecting NATO
to jump in feet first? Am I expecting the Brits
and the French to come No? That being said, do
we have a part to play in this? Of course,
because we don't want this to spread. And despite what
Trump says, NATO is an important thing. But everybody does
need to pay their fair share, and Europe should be

(51:40):
as concerned at least as we are over all this stuff.
They talked a good game, but let's look at the
numbers just for a second. And again, numbers may vary
a little bit here, a little bit there, but by
and large, this is the the numbers one hundred and
eighty tow one hundred and eighty five billion, with sixty

(52:00):
five to seventy billion devoted specifically to weapons. That's what
we've given the EU one one hundred and fifty billion
that includes military, financial and humanitarian assistance, and report notes
that purely military terms right around forty eight to fifty
three million euros three two three, five three eight, twenty

(52:21):
four to twenty three at Chadmentton shows, your Twitter, tweet
at US text the program read here in the Chad
Benson Show, so close to home, in their backyard, and
we've provided more questions. For sure, understand that a lot
of that money never left the United States. That being said,

(52:43):
still some questions to be answered. And with Europe and
everybody's thoughts in prayers because of the insanity that goes
on there on a daily basis. Remember last week we
talked about Germany and they've got the thought police out there,
meme police. Well, Germany made a right if you will
yesterday you mean a Reich, No, just a regular old fright.

Speaker 28 (53:06):
The exit polls show the Conservatives leading with twenty nine
percent of the vote, the far right AfD party meanwhile
coming in second with a record twenty percent, the most
votes for a far right party in Germany since World
War Two. President Trump today saying it's a great day
for Germany. Frederick Metz, the Conservative leader, is now poised
to become Germany's next chancellor. He is pro Ukraine, pro NATO,

(53:26):
and has been critical at President Trump's outreach to Russia.
This evening, he said, this administration mostly doesn't care about
the fate of Europe.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
They've gone to the right. So everybody's going to say, now,
this is what happens when you allow unfettered access to
your border, import people who do not share your values
and shove multiculturalism down everybody's throat. People get sick and
tired of it. And the Germans have They've got a
different view when it comes to Ukraine. But still the

(53:54):
reality is this is what a lot of the world
to see. Multiculturism fails, and people are and tired of
their nations being essentially trashed by people coming there who
do not want to be part of their nation. They
just want someplace to be who they are, where they
can feel safe. You're missing the show the podcast Chat
Benson Show, Sun Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
You can always text the programmer. Email us at Chad
Benson Show. I've hearing from all of you. Did somebody
tweet and texted me over the weekend and we got
into a nice conversation. He actually apologize, said I'm sorry
I talked that way and it was so frustrated and upset.
I said, dude, you were we were having a great conversation.
There's nothing wrong. You didn't you didn't overstep, didn't say anything.

(55:01):
But they're upset with Trump and Doge and and me.
So sorry, Chad. I know the people of their political differences,
but I cannot help but be deeply disappointed in you
due to the fact that we are now openly advocating
for letting the chief executive get away with openly breaking
the federal law, thumbing his nose at the judiciary. Well,

(55:25):
that's not happened. None of that has happened. Everybody thinks
it's happened because the media says it's happened. That hasn't happened.
And I said, when we get to that point where
it gets to the Supreme Court, then there'll be discussions.
All of these things are going to happen over months
and months, not days and weeks. He knows what he

(55:51):
constitutionally can do and what he can't, and of course
he's going to test and push the envelope. Before we
say that it's over and that the world has come
to an end, everybody take a deep breath. One of
the other things he said is, hey, I have a
pretty strong argument that it shouldn't be against the law
for me to rob banks, but it doesn't mean it's

(56:13):
still not against the law. Because we were talking about
the fact that these things are working the way through
court and a court is going to decide so much
of this, and he's like, well, it should have gone
to court first, and I'm like, no, that's not the
way it works. The way it works is I do something,
if you think that it is against the law, then

(56:35):
you go and sue to stop whatever it is done.
I don't go there first because I think it is
constitutionally within my purview to do something. And that's what happens.
If you think that you should be able to rob banks,
you don't go to the court and say I'm going
to defend myself in the reasoning of why i believe

(56:56):
I should be able to rob banks and then go
out and rob a bank. It's not the way that works, which,
by the way, is we all know and even he admitted, no,
robbing banks is illegal, don't do it, doubt do it.
But there's a lot of that out there because a
lot of people are upset. They're upset, they're angry. They're
looking up there going Trump is doing this, and Trump
is doing that. Trump is destroying this, and Trump is

(57:17):
destroying that. Trump is doing what people hired him to do.
Some people are pissed and angry. Some people are making
a huge deal. Oh so and so got fired. Did
this happen? Here's some more of the MSNBC montage of
people that had no longer worked for the government and
what they did.

Speaker 29 (57:34):
And I served as the Chief of Safety and Emergency
Management at the Philadelphia VA This was a mission critical
role that ensure the health and safety of all those
who entered into our facilities.

Speaker 17 (57:47):
I used to be a NIPA coordinator for the Wrangel
Ranger District of the USDA for a Service where I
would coordinate environmental review for projects in and around the
town of Wrangele. Projects are crucial to the town's economy
and it's people.

Speaker 30 (58:02):
I'm lead from Alabama to Maryland to start my new
job in genemics education and Outreach at the National Institute's
of Health. My job was to help educate students, teachers,
and healthcare providers about genomics to improve patient care and
develop the future scientific workforce.

Speaker 31 (58:18):
I was a technologist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
for about a year and a half before I was
fired last week. We were the ones making sure that
you could use payment apps without being constantly scammed, that
your sensitive financial data wasn't being collected and shared with
shady companies, and that your data wouldn't be leaked in
the data preach.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Oh, so that's now happening or was that already happening
last time I checked. You guys have been hacked a
whole bunch, because if hackers want to hack, they're going
to hack. I mean, we've talked about sales. Scared has
been hacked?

Speaker 18 (58:52):
No?

Speaker 23 (58:52):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (58:53):
The only one that hasn't been hacked is the retirement
Why is that? Because it's in a limestone cave. That's
why it's all done by hand. Well, I don't want
anybody who lose their job. How many of these jobs
were necessary? Why won't we ask that question how many

(59:14):
of these jobs were absolutely necessary? Because everybody will say
there's job is necessary. Everybody will, but how many of
these jobs were necessary? And by that I mean it's
not that the job's not necessary. Were there eight people
doing it and it really called for two? Oh? Well
that's a good question. Well maybe maybe I don't know.

(59:38):
We're not asking the right questions. We're asking questions that
suit the left and some questions that suit the right.
We're not asking the real questions. Did we overfire in
some areas or let go or whatever? Yeah we did.
Did we maybe look at something and say all of
these agencies existed or these poor of agencies existed before

(01:00:01):
the us AID was up and running. They can go
back to doing that. Yeah, But what I hear people
freak out about USAID? How many people have been let
go and it's all closed now? And that's not true.

Speaker 32 (01:00:15):
Trump administration placed nearly all of USAID's forty seven hundred
employees on paid administrative leave, a memo on the agency's
website revealing sixteen hundred of those positions have now been
terminated as part of a reduction in force, with exceptions
made for mission critical function.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
And that's what government should have mission critical. If it
is mission critical, then we do it. If it is
something that we're not quite sure we need or we
have several of you, let's ask the right questions rather
than asking the questions where everybody freaks out, because that's
all anybody cares about is the freakout scenario. In this

(01:00:56):
Michael Steele, former Republican freaking out.

Speaker 33 (01:01:00):
I would actually, you know what, I'd just like you
to show that you give a damn that you got
a little emotion about the fact that people are losing
their jobs indiscriminately, that this individual sitting down the sixteen
hundred Pennsylvany Avenue has given absolute power to one man
who brings his son into the Oval office, whose son

(01:01:23):
says to him, you're not the president.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
You shouldn't be in that chair. Now, where did he
get that from?

Speaker 33 (01:01:29):
He got it from his daddy, because that's what his
daddy thinks of the man who brought him into the
Oval office.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Oh my god. More for Michael Steele, just because it's
it's funny.

Speaker 33 (01:01:39):
So I'd just like to see somebody wake the hell
up and get excited about the fact that your country
is under assault they're not at the gate anymore. They're
in your bedrooms, They're in your living rooms, they're in
your businesses. They got your data, dumb ass, they got
all your stuff. Elon Musk has his tentacles and everything
you're doing, not just off of X, but now he's

(01:02:01):
in the Treasury department, he's in the labor department, he's
in the apartment of Homeland Security.

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
And nobody seems to give a damn.

Speaker 33 (01:02:09):
So that's all I want somebody to show that they
care enough to get off their fat ass and say
something about it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Oh my god, did you guys know that? Hold on,
I gotta go next door. I gotta see if there's
Are they in the Are they in my bedroom? They
are not in my bedroom. He know it's in my bedroom.
The cat, he's in the bedroom. What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Cat?

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Get out of that bedroom. You're not taking this here.
It's hard to take it seriously when every day the
world is coming to an end, every day everything's on fire,
It's hard to take it seriously. Then when it doesn't happen,
what do you want half in Chad huh? The world
to collapse? Well, if the whole world collaps, you're gonna

(01:02:56):
blame that all on Trump. Yeah, I don't think so.
You probably would try to three two three, five, three eight,

It's a Chad Benson show.

Speaker 34 (01:05:02):
Serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
It's Chad Benson, Hello, exciting him.

Speaker 35 (01:05:27):
Forty three year old Aurora Phelps now in custody in Mexico,
US authorities accusing her of alluring older men she met
through online dating services, drugging them and stealing hundreds of
thousands of dollars from them. The twenty one count indictment
alleging Phelps sold one victim's apple stock worth approximately three

(01:05:47):
point three million and unsuccessfully attempted to remove the three
point three million from his E rate account.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
She was uh, she was on it. She scammed the
hall out of these guys and drug them. It's scurry
what she did to these old timers.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
This is a romance scam on steroids.

Speaker 36 (01:06:06):
We have not seen one like this in recent history.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
On steroids or you know, on drugs. Because that's what
she did. This would be kidnapping.

Speaker 36 (01:06:17):
We believe Phelps kidnapped one of these victims by heavily
sedating him and pushing him across the US Mexico border
in a wheelchair due to his inebriated state. Phelps then
took him to a hotel room in Mexico City, where
the victim was found dead a few hours later.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Dead dead. This passed the oh. I drugged him and
tried to steal his wallet. You were on it big time,
looking for as much cash as you could get, and
you tried to You robbed his e trade account or
at least made the effort to and you killed them.

Speaker 36 (01:06:55):
Once she incapacitated her victims, Phelps stole their cars, accessed
their bank and brokerage accounts to withdraw cash, used their
credit cards to make a variety of purchases.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
Shod every opportunity. Good looking lady, right. So, there are
eleven known victims, four of whom are included in the
federal indictment. Three of phelps victims have died. One man,
like I said it was in a wheelchair. He was
super sedated when the across the border, nobody said anything.
Another was found dead on the bathroom floor in a
Jais de Lajara home. Police discovered him after his daughter

(01:07:29):
was unable to contact him following a date with Phelps,
who later used one of his accounts to purchase a
gold coin, among other items. The fourth victim included in
phelps indictment ended up in a coma as well because
of his sedation. She took hundreds of thousands of dollars
of luxury goods and other items. She stole three point

(01:07:52):
three million of one of her victims applestock, but she
could not get it out of the account. Twenty one
counts against her, she faces life in prison, and you
think to yourself, all right, if you're just after money,
there's rich guys who are willing to pay for your companionship.

(01:08:14):
You weren't fine with that. No, no, you weren't fine
with that. Because of that, you're going to spend the
rest of your life in jail. Be careful out there, guys.
If it seems too good to be true, it's because
it is woo. In the changing times we live in,
the Yankees are doing something they haven't done for a

(01:08:35):
very long time.

Speaker 16 (01:08:36):
Beards to facial hair policy makes headlines. To be fair,
the New York Yankees have had rules in place reguarding
beards and hair length for nearly fifty years, but no longer.
Friday Yankees owner hal Steinbrenner amended the team's policy to
allow quote well groomed beards. Over the decades, the team

(01:08:58):
was much more strict, forcing players, coaches, and staff to
adhere to the policy to avoid fines and other discipline.

Speaker 37 (01:09:05):
I did make the decision that the policy that was
in place was outdated, and given how important it is
to that generation, and given that it is the norm
in this world today, that it was somewhat unreasonable, so
I made the change.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Beards. They're allowing beards the Yankees. That's been a big
deal for a long while. They did not allow any
kind of facial hair outside of a mustache.

Speaker 16 (01:09:33):
Hal's father, legendary Yankees owner George Staring Brenner, put the
policy in place before the nineteen seventy sixth season, banning beards,
but allowing players to either be clean shaven or have
a mustache like greats Don Mattingly and Reggie Jackson. They
could not grow their hair past their collars. The edicts
became part of pop culture.

Speaker 38 (01:09:54):
The Simpsons, Yeah, shaved those sideburns. That was that year
that the hair little incident in New York. And this
is funny to me when I think about this, they
taped it before any of it.

Speaker 16 (01:10:06):
Happened, and that was kind of cool, as kind of ironic.
Maddingly and others certainly had a few run ins with the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Owner because of beards. And if you know anything about
baseball players, they're a bit superstitious beards things like that.
They think those things they do, they think, this is
what gives me my power.

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
Times change.

Speaker 16 (01:10:26):
However, even for the twenty seven time World champions, the.

Speaker 37 (01:10:30):
New Vice President has a beer, members of Converce have
a beard. The list goes on and on and on.
In this country and in this world, it is a
part of who these younger men are. It's a part
of their character. It's a part of their persona. Do
I totally relate to that. It's difficult for me. I'm

(01:10:50):
an older guy who's never had a beer in his life.
But it's a very important thing to them.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
It is, like I said, there are guys that they
couldn't pursue. They knew they weren't going to cut their beers,
no matter how much money you were giving them, because
the knew they were gonna get great money elsewhere. Plus
it's New York's a lot of taxes. You got to
work around that. But guys they knew were never going
to cut their official air. They just weren't going to
do it, and they didn't pursue them. Now, just because

(01:11:17):
there's some guys out there with some beards, just because
they say, hey, we're gonna lie you that beards doesn't
mean going and get crazy.

Speaker 16 (01:11:24):
Does that mean the Yankees are going to have a
roster full of players like Brandon marsh of the Phillies
and Charlie Blackman of the Rockies not a chance. After
the change was made, general manager Brian Cashman told the players,
We're not going to look like duck Dynasty. Whether it
helps them win the World Series is another subject, but
Steinbrenner did say one of the main deciding factors was

(01:11:44):
he did not want potential high profile players to turn
the Yankees down in free agency because of that beard policy.
Vlad Guerrero Junior, you can keep your beard, can.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
You depends on what it looks like. Can't be duck
dynasty though, three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

got a little what's trending for you, talk about what's
trending out there, what's getting the buzz in the interwebs.
We'll do that more on the town hallstead of real
A lot of Republicans are hearing it about the doge
about Trump, but how much of that is real, and
how much of that is groups of people that didn't
vote for Trump going and voicing their displeasure in some

(01:12:42):
of these townholes. We'll talk a bit about that as well.
A bunch of other stuff to get to, including more
on Ukraine and the Pope. Oh no, he ain't doing well, kids,
He is not doing well. Talk a little bit about
that as well. If you miss any of the show,

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna blame the doge on this one.
We've got yet another firing downsizing. Let go if you will,
because Joey read she's figured it all out.

Speaker 18 (01:13:43):
Donald Trump had one crisis. It was called the pandemic.

Speaker 16 (01:13:46):
You bollicked it.

Speaker 18 (01:13:47):
Trump is casting his administration like it's a reality TV show.
That was not an American president giving an acceptance speech
that was a monarch like what Castro used to do
at a Mussolini moment, you know, a member of the
old Russian czar family. We do have a fascist ground
swell in small pockets among black and brown men too.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Yeah, all the black Nazis.

Speaker 18 (01:14:11):
Don't care about Joe Biden. He could roll around in
a wheelchair, he could be on a skateboard. Donald Trump
cannot be allowed back into the White House. Trump was
returned to the presidency after staging a coup. It's the
elephant in the room, still a brown lady. She's getting
birthered by Donald Trump. Targeting trans people is an age
old tradition which Nazi Germany did.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Goho I got to vote for in November to keep Hitler.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
At the White House.

Speaker 18 (01:14:33):
Like Trump, Hitler was also viewed as a clown, a
good to our local gangster. Donald Trump is already spending
his time sitting in his golden palace mar A Lago,
muscling other countries like he's Tony Soprano who the social
media site and they will control enough electoral vote to
never have to worry about another presidential election. Iowa is
about sixty one percent evangelical, white Christian. They see themselves

(01:14:56):
as the rightful inheritors of this country. Republican voters go
don't vote that way. They don't vote based on economics.
They're voting on race. It's him or Trump. It's literally
you go to a dinner and your choices are steak
or a pile.

Speaker 19 (01:15:10):
Of cool, a box of rocks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
That right there is one and only Joy read she
won't be with us any longer. No, she hasn't died.
Her show has though read out a how can this
be chad? Because nobody watched the show. Nobody watched any
of the shows. MSNBC is essentially nothing they are. I mean,

(01:15:43):
you can't even talk about how crappy their ratings are.
They're that bad. Why is that they seem to be
the arbiters of truth?

Speaker 39 (01:15:53):
MSNBC is a ghost town. No one's watching these shows
because they're all just lying. They're still lying. They're lying
cons on and you know now they're lying about the
Department of Government efficiency when before they were lying about
pandemics and vaccines.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
It's not really the news.

Speaker 18 (01:16:10):
You know.

Speaker 39 (01:16:10):
If it was the news, they wouldn't be paid for
by the pharmaceutical drug companies. You can't have the news
sponsored by the people that you're supposed to be reporting
on and then you never report on them.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
That's just crazy crazy. So let's talk about the numbers
shahweh really quick, because I just want to give you
guys a snapshot of how bad things are when it
comes to the reality of establishment media, in particular the
left leaning establishment that cries all day it's over the

(01:16:40):
worldsover you can't be saved, tay over Nazis. They're running everything.
MSNBC and CNN put them together. What you have, that's
what you have. Not a lot uh insane the numbers
by that I mean horrible, so uh MSNBC and CNN.

Speaker 29 (01:17:05):
So you have the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
Full day and then primetime and you're looking for the
magical twenty five to fifty four. For whatever reason, that's
what everybody decided it's the most important thing in the
world twenty five fifty four, although people that are living
longer and have a lot more disposal li income are
older than that. Whatever. So this month, averaging eighty thousand viewers,

(01:17:30):
is CNN the full day one hundred and eighteen thousand
and Primetie whoa, It's awful. MSNBC super sucks forty five
thousand during to day, sixty three thousand during prime time.
If you want to know what the likes of Fox
is doing, twenty five fifty four, two hundred and fifty

(01:17:52):
three thousand during the day, three hundred and fifty three
thousand in prime time baby. By the way, News Nation
had its best month to date because they're not full
of crap, and I enjoy watching News Nation. They had
during the day sixty six thousand and it's prime times

(01:18:14):
one hundred and twenty one thousand viewers. When you consider
most people have never heard of New Nation, can't find
News Nation, yet you guys will. It's the best place
to go for stuff that's unbiased and honest, straightforward. I
enjoy it. They're doing all right, and they're fighting uphill
when it comes to the size of of budgets compared

(01:18:37):
to MSNBC and CNN. So joy is gone. There's no
joy in joy that shouldn't have been though. Don't look
at the numbers. Everybody's talking about Trump. We'll get to
those numbers later. Because Trump's numbers are in the tick,
they're in the chur lit. Yet democrats numbers are in

(01:19:00):
the chailet because you're continuing to push insanity. You continue
to run it insane stuff, You continue to push wacky ideas,
and nobody is buying what you're selling. Nobody is Look
at all the people that were fired because of dogs,

(01:19:21):
who were all fired because of Doge it's gonna take
a long time. When I hear people go, oh my god,
they're making the greatest movement in history. So much of
what's going to happen is going to be decided in
the court. So let's just take a deep breath. Secondly,
no credit whatsoever. Apple announced today we're going to spend
five hundred million dollars and over the next few years

(01:19:42):
hire twenty thousand employees five hundred million, almost a half
a billion. You're gonna hire twenty thousand employees to move
us forward in AI. You want to hear a word
about that. Twelve hundred people or so give or take.
Let go buy st bucks today. I don't see anybody

(01:20:02):
outraged over that. We're not crying, oh my god, because Chad,
they make lattes, not bureaucracy. That's why nobody's crying. The
Democrats are swinging and missing. As much as you can
find out there. They've had more than ample opportunity to
do something, yet at the same time they swing and miss.

(01:20:25):
And James Carvill thinks the whole world's coming to an
end when it comes to Trump in his world, but
he has it right in some ways. I'm not talking
about the collapse of Trump. I'm talking about the insanity
of the left.

Speaker 5 (01:20:37):
You know, it seems that the angrier Democrats get, the
more it feeds into exactly what Donald Trump and Elon
Moss want. Meaning Fox News plays sound bites of Democrats'
heads exploding as sort of sport.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
So what should they do from a media or political perspective?

Speaker 19 (01:21:00):
What I believe.

Speaker 6 (01:21:00):
I believe that this administration in less than thirty days,
in the midst of a massive collapse, and particularly a
collapse in public opinion. Once I saw a Harvard Youth
poll for damn good poll, He's gone from fifty three
approval to under thirty to thirty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
That's a collapse.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
That's a collapse. It doesn't exist anymore. It's a collapse. Actually,
it's kind of where he's been his highest rate rated
polls ever. Because remember when Trump first became president, the
media couldn't stand him then, and his poll numbers were
fret These are his best numbers, that's a reality, but
the Democrat numbers are way worse. Nobody talks about that.

Speaker 6 (01:21:43):
What I've said very publiclyid Democrats need to play possum.
This whole thing is collapsing. It doesn't need Elizabeth Warren
and somebody's screaming to pacify some progressive advancy groups in Washington, which,
by the way, I wish these people were just useless,
worse than useless, that they're detrimental and they never ever

(01:22:04):
learned to shut up. And all we need to do
is pick it five hundred yards from the stone wall.
It's going to be easy pickings here in six weeks.
Just lay back.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Okay, we'll lay back. Do I think it's going to
be easy pickings. No, let me tell you what easy
pickens looks like. May and June. The economy is struggling.
Eggs are still ridiculous, gas prices have gone up, the
tariffs are kicking us in the grundle. People are getting disgruntled.
Then it'll be easy pickings. But if things slow down,

(01:22:38):
inflation slows down, the stock markets stays strong, people feel
comfortable in their jobs, guess what happens, then it won't
be easy pickings, no matter how much people scream and yell,
because at the end of the day, we care about
who us ourselves.

Speaker 5 (01:22:53):
You literally think thirty days to six weeks, the Trump
administration is effectively going to collapse in terms of public support.

Speaker 3 (01:23:01):
Well, it's collapsing right now. We're in the midst of
a collapse.

Speaker 6 (01:23:03):
This is the lowest approval, not even closer any president
has ever had at a comparable time.

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
So they're not going to be able to get a
debt extection. That's pretty clear.

Speaker 6 (01:23:15):
I don't think they're going to be able to pass reconciliation,
but I'm not sure. But they're going to have to
go to hakeeen and that is going to be the
equivalent of stacking arms.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
It's over.

Speaker 6 (01:23:24):
I think the House Democrat I think they know exactly
what they're doing. I don't know exactly what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
You hope they have no idea what they're doing. And
by the way, Hakim is useless.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
We all know that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
He's absolutely useless. He's still following in the Oh, let's
go out with the uber progressives and run around and
scream the same thing they do.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
And as a.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Constitutional crisis bs no. Trump's biggest issue, I still think
for the Democrats to capitalize on, besides the economy, is
what happens in the coming few days when they start
to try to get stuff passed, Because so far it's
been exactly of order. Well, Mike Johnson is doing a
lot of stuff behind closed doors. That is it probably

(01:24:05):
gonna make some Trump people happy. At the same time,
this is stuff that needs to get done, and there's
going to be a standoff as there already is kind
of a standoff with a few of the agencies that
Trump has pushed hard to get cash, Mattel and Tulci,
Gabbertt and a few others in there who are saying,

(01:24:25):
ignore whatever they send you. We'll do our own stuff here.
And so we'll see what it looks like. But this
whole thing is going to be over in the next
thirty to sixty days. It's going to fall apart. If
by May June things are ugly in the economy, then
there's gonna be serious issues. But we're all ways away

(01:24:49):
from that. And when it comes to all the other
stuff that's just noise. I can't believe they got rid

Yeahoo. Jane Fonda, what a speech? Really? I don't know.

Too long for me. The part I did see was
heard talking about how they really have to get to
know their character, have to get into their character once again. LARPing,

(01:27:27):
Dan Bongina, German election results of Russia, Ukraine war all
trending Gun Yahoooo, over to Google, Dan Bongino, No one
training thing cduc su. While it sounds like college, it
is not college sports. It is the German election which

(01:27:52):
swings right. And the reason is simple. People got sick
and tired of a economy that was stagnant and immigration
sag awarts. Joy Read canceled talk at bit about that
today We're gonna miss her, We're gonna miss you, Joy

(01:28:12):
now we're gonna have to go to Twitter or wherever
you've landed on because I know that Twitter is tough
for you to do because of the apartheid, because of
Elon Musk. Yeah, yeah, yes here, I'm going there. Eagles
White House. No, Eagles have declined to go to the
White House, so Trump is a meanie, will not go there. Finally,

things trending in the magical world of X.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
Well, what do they have to email? They have to
email by tonight at midnight the five things they accomplished
last week. So the five big things they accomplished. What
if you were on vacation, you have to go the
week before, or do you get a kick out a week.
That's an interesting thing. I have no idea. I have

(01:29:48):
no idea whatsoever.

Speaker 32 (01:29:49):
The email comes after President Trump praised Musk and suggested
he be more aggressive with spending cuts. On Sunday, Musk
reposted the list of five meete up accomplishments generated by
art official intelligence, saying quote, that's all it would take
for real. President Trump later reposted the image Trump earlier posted,
and bunchbomb memes shared by Musk mocking federal employees compiling

(01:30:11):
their list.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
If you didn't see the SpongeBob thing, it was pretty funny.
It said, what are the five things you did last week?
And a spongebobs all cry about Donald Trump, cry about Elon.
That said something else, and then it said, cry more
about Trump and Elon. I mean, it's just the you know,
it's the battle that is. There's seventy five lawsuits out
there right now with this, So know that this battle

(01:30:32):
isn't over and we'll continue to go forward because that's
what politics has become. Chaos, craziness very much a reality
television show. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Menton shows your Twitter, tweet
at us text the program you miss any show? Got

(01:30:53):
the podcast happen Monday. It's a Chad Benson shown Chad
Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Freak out, do the freak the chic freak out, that's
what they do. Elon freak out, freak out on Elon.
He's the worst. He's the worst. He's the worst ever.
He's the worst I've ever seen. He's the worst. But
it's a natzie that Natty Elon must we're here right now.

Speaker 4 (01:31:37):
What would you tell him?

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Go back where you come from America or where he
came from? South of Africa, South Africa, South Africa?

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
Right, Oh gotta go, hey here to South Africa.

Speaker 4 (01:31:50):
Let you go back to South Africa, Go.

Speaker 19 (01:31:52):
Back to South Africa.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
He's not a citizen.

Speaker 6 (01:31:54):
He came here illegally and stayed in Gallic citizenship, I believe.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
So, so go back to Africa. Go wow, go back
to Africa. Go get Could you imagine that? Why don't
you go up to somebody today from a different country
and tell them to go back where they came from?
See how that works? Do you don't understands?

Speaker 29 (01:32:19):
Up?

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
Jenny, he's the beanie. He's just an absolute meaning. The
entitlement of these federal workers is I think that's the
thing that they don't understand that pisses off the average
person who isn't paying too much attention to this. But
they're like, get over yourself. Well, they've got an email

(01:32:41):
that went out that says they've got to justify their jobs. Okay,
did they say, Jeff j justified? No, put down the
five things you did last week?

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Well, Chad, that's do you know what you did last
week for work?

Speaker 18 (01:32:57):
Do you.

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
Do?

Speaker 18 (01:32:59):
You?

Speaker 4 (01:32:59):
Could?

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
You you name the things you did last week for work,
the five things that you did for work? What if
I didn't do five? Well, you know, if you're working
on one big thing and that's all you're on, you
get that. But this entitlement and it's all Elon's fault. No,
it's not really all Elon's fault, and it's not really

(01:33:23):
going to change that much. Here's the reality of it.
A lot of it is just dance, song and dance.
Our government is bloated, it's massive, it wastes money more
than there is over employment. But you've got to take
on what you get to take on, and there's only
so much you're gonna be able to take on.

Speaker 40 (01:33:45):
What would you tell him, He's an unelected, greedy surface
bostard and please go away. Nobody elected him, nobody voted
for him.

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
We don't want him.

Speaker 40 (01:33:58):
He's erasist and he's a Nazi.

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
This is not what America is about. You said, you
said to go away. Where would you like him to go?

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
Go back to South Africa.

Speaker 40 (01:34:08):
His grandfather left Canada, left Canada to specifically go to
South Africa because he loved he loved hiss, racist policies
of South Africa.

Speaker 3 (01:34:17):
Go back to South Africa.

Speaker 40 (01:34:19):
Go back to immigrant as an immigrant telling another immigrant,
go back to where he came from.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
Because I am not trying to change America for the worst.

Speaker 40 (01:34:28):
I'm not the greatest selfish person wanted to take everything
for myself. Somebody who has four hundred and four billion
dollars is going to go into Social Security and tell
my grandfather or my disabled cousin that eight hundred dollars
a month is too much. And you have four hundred
and four billion dollars that you will never spend in
your lifetime. Go hey, elon, shoot yourself into the sun.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
Yeah, shoot yourself into the sun, take us to Mars,
rescue the astro or build electric cars. Do the boring company.
That's where you bore through the ground, right, do those things? Yeah?
You selfish doubt Dare you employ people and be successful?

(01:35:14):
That's your jerk, Just racist jerk. So funny, she like,
go and shoot yourself to the sun. It's like he
probably could. You could probably get there. You know who
can't get there pretty much anybody else. And I'm saying
that because the freak out over this is tremendous and

(01:35:39):
everybody's taking their eye off the prize. What matters is
the economy. What matters is the expensive life. That's what matters.
Will your wages outpace inflation? Will your wages grow and
put you in a position where you feel comfortable? Will
stuff start to slow down when it comes to inflation
and we get to that right around that mythical two
percent mark. Will those things happen into where the president

(01:36:01):
can look up and go things are going well? This
right now is all just whatever it is, that's it.
They're out there interviewing him. This one right here is spectacular.
This is a federal worker.

Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
Who is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
Using like the like they're interviewing him, like he's snitching
on the mob, talking about all the stuff that's going
on and what's all lies.

Speaker 1 (01:36:41):
Everybody's kind of been silenced at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
We all need these jobs.

Speaker 37 (01:36:44):
Tell me about that elevator, and the elevator breaks down,
and then them sometimes and then you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:48):
Nobody can retire. There's no elevator, no elevator at all.

Speaker 1 (01:36:52):
You walk down into the mine. It looks like any
other office building.

Speaker 37 (01:36:55):
The most number of people that could retire, possibly in
a month, is ten thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:36:59):
I'm not sure where where that number came from.

Speaker 4 (01:37:01):
There's no limit.

Speaker 3 (01:37:02):
There's no limit.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
All or timate paperwork is manual. That is not true.

Speaker 41 (01:37:06):
It's not built in the nineteen fifties, transformed from a mine.
It was renovated over the years into a temperature and
climate controlled facility. It's owned by a company called Iron Mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Iron Mountain, You mean those are all lies? Actually, no,
those aren't all lies. You want it to be lies.
Those aren't all lies. It is antiquated.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
It is old.

Speaker 2 (01:37:28):
And yes, there is about ten thousand or so people
that can retire a month, and that's kind of about
what's probably happening. The reality, though, is it is very
much an old facility. It is in a limestone mountain
in Pennsylvania. And this just isn't me going, oh, there's

(01:37:54):
no way this is real. Fake, this is even Snops
is like, no, that's true. That's true. And a lot
of it's because it's done by hand. And see, that's
the other thing that we're not talking about at all.
When you hear people get pissed off about people being
let go and all of this kind of stuff, I

(01:38:15):
remind everybody how many of these jobs are duplicate jobs,
how many of these jobs are jobs that are being
done by other agencies. How many of these jobs can
be done by three people instead of fifty people that's
all fair. And how many of these jobs are so
antiquated with the way that they're doing the jobs themselves

(01:38:36):
that you can eliminate the job because of technology. All
of those things right there, All of those things are
in front of us, But you can't talk about any
of that because the entitlement of hey, you know what,
you can't fire us because the stuff and junk and whatnot. No, No,
that's not true. That's not true at all.

Speaker 11 (01:38:58):
If you look at this roughly three million federal workers.
The price tag that the taxpayers pay is right at
two hundred and seventy one billion dollars a year. Is
it too much to ask for them to verify why
they're making an average salary of one hundred and six
thousand dollars a year. Do you think in the private
sector that that single mom who is working two jobs

(01:39:21):
at a restaurant can't justify where she was, or the
hygienis at the dentist's office can't.

Speaker 19 (01:39:26):
Verify what you know, how many patients they sought.

Speaker 11 (01:39:29):
The absurdity and I guess the arrogance of the workers
who says that's a heavy lift is what's wrong with
the That's what the Americans are sick and tired of.

Speaker 19 (01:39:39):
It's not their money. We're the ones who are paying
the bills. We have a right to know. You know,
he's the numbers, don't lie on what he's finding out.

Speaker 11 (01:39:48):
And again it's a great day, and it's this is
going to be transformational for America to finally realize what
these federal employees are doing.

Speaker 19 (01:39:57):
And many of them are good and can verify it.

Speaker 11 (01:39:59):
But the threaten to quit and for the labor unions
to suggest that they not provided well then risk losing
your job.

Speaker 4 (01:40:06):
Then they may or they may not.

Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
I don't know. This is what courts are going to
sort out, but I'm just talking about it. If we
look at this thing as a whole, the average person
doesn't care because you've been going through this your entire life.
I'm in an industry that well, since the nineties, has
played the can we get rid of as many people
as possible and employ enough to just do the job.

(01:40:29):
So I don't there's no sadness here in that sense. Sorry,
it's not that I'm being mean. But today we have
eleven hundre people twel hundred people let go from Starbucks
and area word was it meta? Last week? Let go
seven eight thousand, nary a word because nobody's paying attention,
nobody's caring because it's not bureaucracy. Government is the biggest

(01:40:50):
lobbyist of government, and the way that they look at this,
and the self importance and the arrogance to believe that
they are the most important part of the wheel is insane.
That's not true. Again, I don't want anybody lose their job.
I'm just being a hundred percent honest do I think

(01:41:11):
this is gonna make a huge dent. Now, it's not.
They're gonna run around a scream. You'll see be Able
on the right going, oh my god, it's making the
biggest dent of it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:17):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
It's not making a huge dent in the way that
you think, because nobody is serious about fixing the problem
when it comes to our massive debt. So we'll work
around the edges and the fight of bureaucracy. At the
end of the day, if nothing else, we will see

(01:41:42):
a battle of wills between Trump and Elon and the
doge versus bureaucracy. And that's really what this is about
more than anything else. Interesting, very interesting. Indeed, we're playing
some of the greatest hits earlier. We played our good

(01:42:06):
friend in Yours Yeah Yeah her Yeah, Joy Joy Joy.
Read Joy's out. Here's some of the stuff that Joy
said through the years. July six, twenty twenty three, reclaimed
she was too scared to leave her house in July
fourth because America is washed with guns, and then America
seemed to want to shoot people with them and use

(01:42:27):
them for whatever, you know. September twenty twenty two, Red
Cause controversy by comparing Florida's fleeing the Sunshine State in
the wake of a hurricane that was Hurricane even Ian
too a wave of illegal immigrants crossing the US border,

(01:42:47):
she suggested earlier that year. January twenty twenty two, on
her nightly show, Reid called for anyone not vaccinating against
COVID nineteen to be taxed or fine and express support
for slashing sixth pay for the unvaccinated. And of course
our favorite one. I will repeat this one was great,

(01:43:08):
Reid claimed on her show might have been it might
not have been her show because she likes to go
to a Twitter well before Twitter is bought by the Nazis.

Speaker 26 (01:43:17):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
She claimed Conservatives would rather trade tax cuts for the
ability to openly say the N word. Can't make this up?
Why are they firing her? Three two three, five three
eight twenty four twenty three at Chadmnson show, she Twitter
coming up. We're gonna wrap it up. Speaking of singing,

Things I Hate about You, Fight Club just to name
a few of the big movies. Tell me more that
was cool, Chad back than floppy disk Pokemon. Yankees won
their twenty fifth World Series, Tiger Woods won his first
BGA Championship. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets came

(01:45:39):
to the USA and Share topped the charts with Believe.
But there were two bands that dominated dominated the charts.
Ladies and gentlemen, they're going to be at a festival.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
Now you're saying to yourself, Chad, you said to I
only heard one and that was the Great Canadian band Nickelback. Well,
we rivaled them with our band of ridiculousness with Scott Stepping, Creed.

Speaker 20 (01:46:48):
Sword, sus stap.

Speaker 16 (01:47:03):
Me.

Speaker 20 (01:47:04):

(01:48:17):
concert event like no other, where you like. I don't
like these bands, but I know every song and they've
sold over a hundred million albums just those two. Sad
thing is, there's no doubt in my mind smash Mouth
would have been on here, but because of the passing,
there is no smash Mouth anymore. You could have probably
also had the guys that did come my lady, Come,

(01:48:38):
Come my lady. You're a butterfly, my sugar baby. Also
because of a passing, could Dutt make the event? Is
what we're trying to say? Three two, three, five, three eight,

the Chadminson Show, Solid fun show today to start the Monday.

(01:49:01):
We'll see what happens. We'll see what chaos and craziness
will ensue over the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
Who will fill it out? Who won't fill it out?
That will be the excitement. God only knows all. The
rest of the world, though, is trying to figure out,
what are we gonna do with Ukraine? What are you
gonna do with Israel? What are you gonna do with
these battles that are going on? What about inflation? That's
what we're all thinking about. Cheaper that's what we want. Well,

(01:49:24):
mister President, you got some time to do it, but
you better hurry. There's no doubt about that. And while
all that's going on, they're still gonna get mad at
the Doge and everything else you guys have a blessed
rescue your Monday. You know what, I think We will
do this again tomorrow as always, Night night Jack.
