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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's the economy, stupid. We talk about it all the time,
But the reality is everything else can suck. Okay, paint
the picture for you guys. The war could still be
raging in Europe, Bloom Israel and Hamas could still be battling.
Even immigration could be a bit of a nightmare. No,

(00:38):
but if you have the economy, well, well well you
still have everybody. Now let me reverse it. Immigration's handled,
peace in the Middle East, peace in Europe, all of
the things. Gulf of America economy sucks, you lose. That's reality.

(01:02):
All the other stuff it's noise. It's still down to
the economy. Period. Now. I am in no way, shape
or form saying the economy has failed because we're like
six weeks in five and a half weeks into Trump's presidency.
For God's sakes, there's gonna be bumps in the road,
there's gonna be tariffs, there's gonna be uncertain times. Some

(01:26):
of the stuff that he's trying to do is more
long term. I get that micro and macro. Micro is
the immediacy the economy. What's going on in right now?
How am I feeling? Am I feeling a little nervy.
What's going on? I feel all uncomfortable. Do I think
it's gonna be slow down? Could there be a recession? Macro?

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Is?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I see the bigger picture? But I live for today,
and that's what matters right now.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
This is a big, big Yikes, economy is currently good
or excellent?

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Look at this.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
In April of twenty seventeen, it was forty percent. Look
at where we are in February of twenty twenty five,
just half that level, twenty percent.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
My goodness, gracious.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
The term one high was sixty three percent of Americans
in February of twenty twenty thought the economy was excellent
or good. This twenty percent we have currently going on
right now is fewer Americans saying the economy is excellent
or good than at any point, any point during Trump's
first term.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
This is not a good sign.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Cap Baldwin.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, it's not mister Enton who does great things with poles.
Oh yet he does. He's the bolster, He's a magical bolster.
He's right, it's the economy. And the more I talk
to people, the more frustrated. Now they're not quite blaming
it all on Trump. How could they? Again? Six weeks in,

(02:43):
six weeks in, not even quite six weeks, but you know,
five ish weeks in. He'll be six weeks in when
he gets to his State of the Union. So I
can't mean no, no, you can't put it all on there.
But people feel there's no doubt, people feel a little uncomfortable,
There's no doubt. People are expecting. They're not quite sure

(03:06):
good or bad. They're expecting something.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
How about the future economy? Is the economy getting worse
or better? And all I can say is yikes, yikes. Again,
Compare it to where we were in the first term
at this point in April of twenty seventeen, fifty three percent,
the majority said it was getting better. How about now
in February of twenty twenty five, the majority say it's
getting worse fifty nine percent compared to just thirty five

(03:30):
percent who say it's getting better. Worse is higher now
than at any point in Trump's first term pre COVID.
This number, to me is much more worrisome, perhaps the
worst number I've seen for Trump on the economy, because
it says even if the economy now isn't great, they
also project that it's only going to get worse from here.
This is a big, big yikes.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
A big big yike. By the way, how the Democrats.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
Doing a new Quinnipi poll suggests Americans' approval of Democrats
in Congress is that an old time low.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's all I needed to know.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Continuary, Americans' fears about inflation are not going away. They
are as interested in it as they were by the
end of the Joe Biden administration, and the bottom line
as they're far more interested in it than they were
at any point during Donald Trump's first term.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
As I said at.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
The beginning the reboot, the sequel is not being anywhere
near as well received as the original when it comes
to Donald Trump and the economy, and.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I expected that. I expect there's going to be some issues.
In fact, yesterday another report came out that said, essentially,
the well to do or keeping the economy afloat because
they're spending. So you've got the well to do spending,
but the middle class and the people that are living
at or below the poverty line are not spending. And

(04:46):
because of that, you're going to see even more of
a slowdown that is going to happen inflation, and we're
going to talk about eggs a little bit. These are
all things that are affecting us now, I said yesterday,
and I stand by this. And remember this is about
the economy, and they can raid it not so much
about Trump and the economy. The way they pitch it

(05:06):
is like, is all Trump's fault, it's the worst. No, again,
five ish weeks into it, let's just settle down on that.
He's got to have some time. Or am I wrong?
Well he said he was going to make everything better
on day one, Well, then what would he do with
the rest of the days. That being said, If by
Memorial Day heading into the summer, things aren't moving in

(05:31):
a direction where people are starting to feel comfortable, starting
to feel confident, then there's an issue. And he only
has a finite time to get things moving in a
direction that is positive, because, as we all know, we

(05:51):
will at any given moment decide to jump ship. So
a year from now, if things aren't good and the
slowdown is reel, people will have made up their minds
by then, and they're going to that noise of the
Democrats that they're making when it comes to midterms, when

(06:12):
it comes to changing the direction and blaming it on
the Republicans that will get louder and louder. And what's
going to end up happening is people will jump over
to the Democratic side. Therefore the Senate in the House
will both be up for grabs. Lo and behold you
look up, and oh my god, you've got two years left,

(06:33):
President Trump. And in those two years you've got dip
Shift and Swallwell and everybody else to deal with, and
the potential to impeach you and or just make your
next two years a living hell. But you still got
to give them time, and I think they will, but

(06:53):
people will want results. And while you may be thinking,
this is what I'm setting it up for the long term,
you've got to come out, as I said, Yesterda, and
you've got to tell the people, this is what we're doing.
We're setting this thing up for the long term. This
is not an overnight thing. This is going to fix
everybody's ills. Tomorrow, things could get a little bit more pricey,
you might have to tighten your belt, austerity mashers, et cetera.

(07:16):
But if you're with the people, people will understand that.
But it can't just be what it was. The last
guy right now, this is kind of his jam right,
because it was the last guy you're now taking over.
But you only have, in my opinion, till Memorial Day.
And if people do not feel good about the economy

(07:39):
as we hit summer, that's going to be an issue.
We move from one pole to another one Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls. Friend of the show Frank Luntz talking about, well,
what's going on with Trump still, because while we see
these poles, it's not all negative.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
The level of a port for Donald Trump has fallen,
it is reasonably clear, it's been a significant measurement, but
the agreement with the general direction of what he's trying
to do is positive. So Democrats can point to the
fact that the numbers that he's dropped below fifty percent
support not significant. Republicans point to the fact that he's

(08:20):
more popular now than he was at any time in
his first term.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
And they're more unpopular now, as we played earlier. The
Quinnipiac poul says, they're not popular because they run it stupid.
They continue to go for the most insane progressive ideas
that do not resonate with the common man or person

(08:48):
or non binary whatever. That's the problem right there, continue Franklin.

Speaker 8 (08:57):
Democrats can say that the intensity of behind Trump's measures
have dropped, but Republicans can say that the support in
general for cutting wasteful spending, for cutting the bureaucracy, for
dealing with issues at the border is just as strong,
if not stronger. So tonight both sides can claim victory.
But this is only day thirty three of this administration.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
There you go, only day thirty three. So alas here
we are and the cutting wasteful spending, I'm still kind
of shocked that you have people out there who are
upset over trying to cut wasteful spending. I'm still shocked

(09:43):
there are people up there who are angry at this
stuff being exposed, and it is being exposed. Now. It
doesn't mean that we're going to cut all this stuff.
It doesn't mean all these people are going to never
work again and that all of these jobs are going away,
because we know the courts are going to handle a
lot of this stuff. But I am still shocked that

(10:05):
you have people out there who are fighting tooth and
nail for many of these men and women who feel
entitled to these jobs, and as if they're under some
sort of attack. Well that's because they are they're not. Really.

(10:28):
You were asked, what are the five things you did
last week? You could have said I did three things
last week. They were big. Here you go. We're gonna
get to that. We have so much stuff to get
to today, including the data Republican, and we're gonna talk
about that next hour. She is the person that Elon

(10:49):
has kind of turned a lot of this over to.
So while you think it's all a bro's club and
a kid's club, she is very fascinating, is very analytical,
and she's exposing both sides to the hypocrisy of which
they are saying we're fighting against, when in reality, you

(11:10):
are a big liar because you're a big part of it.
Talk about eggs, the Pope and fire festival kids. You
know what fire festival is. Oh, it's an interesting story
because the first one went so well. To the guy
you organized that went to jail for years and I

(11:33):
think he had one hundred million dollar judgment against him.
He got out and he's like, we should do another one,
and people are like, sounds like a good idea. Talk
about that. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
You know what Snoop Dogg says, poping ain't easy. I
don't think he said that. You don't know.

Speaker 9 (13:18):
Cardinals and the faithful gathering in Saint Peter's Square.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
My prayer is I would be done.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Really, I don't know what to pray for.

Speaker 10 (13:26):
I hope he's not suffering.

Speaker 9 (13:28):
The Vatican saying the eighty eight year old pope showed
slight improvement but remains in critical condition after suffering a
prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I have a feeling, and this is not being mean,
just being honest. We're gonna see some smoke. What we
may see some smoke sooner rather than later. What are
they doing? What's going on with him all kinds of stuff.
Yesterday we heard about the kidney issues. Is got double ammonia.
It's all happening.

Speaker 11 (13:57):
Kidney insufficiency is often a common comp location or finding
that we see in individuals who are battling severe illness
or hospitalization, and it can range from pretty insignificant mild
injury to more florid kidney dysfunction more serious.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
He is eighty eight, Okay, not trying to be mean,
not trying to be a jerk. The reality is, dude
is eighty eight years old and not surprised he has
a few issues. I think we can all recognize that
the Pope may have a short amount of time. Even

(14:39):
yesterday we played was it one of the It was Dolan, right,
the cardinal. He saysh I gotta be honest, not looking good.
It's probably because he wants that job. It's possible. Don't
they all want that job? I mean, isn't there. I
know you're not supposed to. You get into it for
no not the kids. Settle down, Okay, settle down. I

(15:04):
can't take you anywhere. That was hilarious, but you get
into it. But at some point in time you're thinking
I'm doing all right, all right, I'm moving up. I'm
not saying I'm gonna be it, but I might get
a hat. Chad, you're being mean. I think the whole
thing is that you We're gonna watch Conclave this week,

(15:24):
and I was talking to my buddy Ken and he
said that it is all about the politics of popin
and I'm like, of course it is. I mean, there's
a reason it takes, you know, sometimes several votes to
get a pope three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, your
Instagram and all of the other things right here in

(15:45):
the Chad Benson Show. It ain't easy poping. That's what
I've been telling you guys. I think it's just don't
willy nilly pope stuff. No, make sure you send your
hate mail right to those text messages. Speaking of that eggs.

Speaker 12 (16:03):
Getting that moons over my Hammy or the Grand Slam
will cost more. Denny's is now joining the waffle House
and announcing it will have to add a surcharge onto
any meal on its menu that includes eggs, unlike the
waffle House, which is charging fifty cents per egg. Denny's
isn't making it a set price, but instead will allow
variations market by market and restaurant by restaurant, saying it's

(16:23):
trying to navigate the rapidly changing market dynamics.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I'll be honest, I only wanted to play that because
I wanted to hear Alex Stone, who's the buddy of mine, say,
moon's over my Hammy. It's a really good dish. I
love me some Denny's Burger's delicious. By the way, somebody
yesterday sent me a text, and you can do the
same thing three two, three, five, three eight twenty four
twenty three. You can do that via text, or you

(16:49):
can actually leave a message there, said Chad, egg prices.
When it comes to this, and they've got chickens, I'll
incubate chickens for a hatch in the first week of April.
Those birds don't start to lay eggs until January February
next year, so there's still gonna be egg shortages throughout
the year. So if you think there's gonna be a

(17:11):
lot of showing up soon, egg prices may be here,
and then they're gonna be up here and they're gonna
eat for a bird that doesn't fly. Those prices are
going highs What I'm trying to say? Can you missing
to the show? Sherrymon? You grabbed the podcast?

Speaker 13 (17:26):
It is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show,

(18:00):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, everybody runs around it talks about the doge and
the emails and the whatnot and the who's what? And
what did Trump say? Now? And did you see Joy
Reid got let go? Oh we saw. We'll talk about
that next hour. Well that's happening yesterday. See French President

(18:22):
mc kong was at the White House. Now you're saying
to yourself, didn't he marry his dad? If you haven't
heard that one? That's spectacular. I love how these things
get started. But the last here we are, let's talk
about the real stuff. Three years on, where are we?

Speaker 14 (18:43):
Three years since Russia lunched a massive invasion of Ukraine.
At the White House, President Trump and French President Emmanuel
Macron pressed about the deep divisions when it comes to
the future of Ukraine.

Speaker 8 (18:56):
I've spoken to President Putin and my people dealing with
him constantly, and they want to end this war.

Speaker 14 (19:04):
With allies in Europe who've been left out of recent
negotiations between the US and Russia watching closely Macron making
it clear this war content in Russia's favor.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
No, no, it's got to be a tie where each
one of them feels like they've got something. And Trump
is pissed at Zelensky because he wants mineral rights, so
he's given the love he can to boot. It's because
they're best friends, Chad, No, it's negotiating ploy This was

(19:38):
always you guys, remember right, We talked to our buddy
Mike Clients, military analysts from the day this thing was
even close to getting started pre this, when they were
on the other side of the border, and he said,
let me tell you how these things always in land
for peace. That's how they end.

Speaker 15 (19:55):
What we heard from President Trump and President Macron, both
of them said some pretty notable things. I mean, President
Trump said he believed the war could end within weeks.
Of course, you know he's said before that he could
end it in twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
No, he hasn't. Why haven't you? I mean, I think
at some point in time they're going to come to
an agreement. And they had a long time, three years
almost to come to some sort of agreement. There were
opportunities and things on the table. Now I know what
both sides are asking for, and for Zelenski and Ukraine

(20:33):
they want assurances that should something start up again, that
there is going to be help.

Speaker 15 (20:39):
I think one of the most notable things he said
was that he had asked Vladimir Putin specifically, if European
troops were to deploy to Ukraine after the war, if
he would object to that, and he said that Putin
doesn't have a problem with it. But I think also
what we heard from President Macron was remarkable. We knew
that France is potentially ready to send peacekeepers, but he
echoed that again. He said that he believes that European troops,

(21:04):
British troops, French troops should deploy it to Ukraine after
a piece deal.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
And again I have no idea how many peacekeepers, what
does that look like, what's it under? Is it a
European force? I don't think it's a NATO force? So
who else is going to get involved? I know the
britz Keir Starmer, He's like, yeah, which, totally send people
over there. It'll be great and everything, all right, I
think he said like that, but I don't know what

(21:34):
it looks like, and how we're involved outside of that,
I think it would take some doing right now for
us to get any more involved than we already have
with the billions we gave him, with the machines of
war that we gave him. I think it would be
a virtually impossible at this point in time unless they

(21:56):
gave us a ton of mineral rights. I don't think
that's going to happen anytime soon. And we'll let you
know you're ape handle it from here go from there,
we'll see three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter
tweet as text the program? Love hearing from all of
you right here on the Chad Benson Show. Some people
are going, oh, yeah, we'll see. Huh that is that

(22:18):
your way?

Speaker 6 (22:18):
Well?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
What else? What else are you going to do? I mean, honestly,
what else are you going to do? At this point?
It's not our country, it's their country. We have done
more than enough and it's time for this thing to

(22:39):
come to an end. But what thing we can't do
is we can't agree on it for either of them.
We can't. Well, they're negotiating without them. Have you looked
around the world and see how negotiations work. Big countries
get together and they talk about what's going on in

(23:00):
certain places, and the country with the most might and
strength is probably going to be the one at the
table first. That's the way it happened. Israel's at the
table first before Amas comes on in later on in
whatever spokeshole they bring in. That's gonna lie. But we
can't make Zelenski's mine up, and we can't make up

(23:21):
Putin's mind. We know what Putin wants he wants at all.
I don't think Putin knows what he wants. I think
once he got punched in the face and he realized
it wasn't going to be a walkover that he wasn't
quite sure what to do at that point in time.
Now he's trying to figure out what's the best way
for me to get out of this looking like a

(23:43):
hero back home. Okay, well we're gonna find out. And
as I continue to remind everybody, we are not Ukrainian,
we are not Russian. We don't get to decide who
gets what. So let's not forget that Trump can go

(24:09):
out there and praise Poutin all he wants or say
he's the greatest, or we're super double triple best friends,
or whatever crap that he wants to say. He can
do all of that stuff, But it doesn't mean that
it's done and dusted in over all. It means is
that's what he says. Is there a method to the madness?

(24:29):
We shall find out, my friends, We shall find out. Meanwhile,
will there or won't there be tariffs? We are going
to find out. Trump says yesterday he is forwarding his
tariffs to Mexico and to Canaday. It's happening. What say you, youngster?

Speaker 16 (24:54):
Liberals are freaking out about tariffs. I'm just a kid,
and I even know that tar can be very good
for an economy. Did you know that Andrew Jackson, the
only president to pay down the national debt, did it
using zero income tax and having only tariffs. Liberals would
rather tax citizens on their income in possessions than tariff

(25:18):
international organizations tariffs, Yes, taxes.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Know, well, we're getting tariffs, and they're going to get tariffs,
and they're already tariffing.

Speaker 17 (25:26):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
So I don't know what it looks like. I don't
know how it's going to affect us long term and
short term, but we will tariff Mexico and Canada. Potential
impacts on US agriculture is big for Canada and Mexico.
The move essentially scraps the US Mexico Canada Agreement USMCA,

(25:47):
which is not the YMCA, that's the one that Trump
signed in this first term. The agreement lowered tariffs on products,
including tariffs on most agricultural products flowing between the trace
cun trees. That's three countries. So we'll find out Canada's
retaliatory tariffs though we'll target American beer, wine, bourbon, fruits,

(26:10):
fruit juices including orange juice, along with vegetables. Mexico will
hit US with a five to twenty percent tariff on pork, cheese,
fresh produce, manufacturer, steel, and aluminum. So we'll see what
it looks like on the other side. But be prepared
for the great tariff war that is coming. But you

(26:31):
are prepared even if the market gets a little uncomfortable.

With his business partner Billy.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Mcf is an amazing entrepreneur.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
He could convince anyone else pretty much anything.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
They just bought an island, Pablo Escobar's island. Oh my god,
we're gonna do it festively. Yeah, within forty eight hours
they sold out.

Speaker 18 (30:00):
These guys are either completely full of shit or they
their smartest guys in the room.

Speaker 19 (30:04):
And then one picture of cheese on toasts ripped down
the festival.

Speaker 20 (30:08):
The event's co founder is facing up to twenty years
in prison.

Speaker 21 (30:14):
If you had thousands of dollars a goat on a
trip to be blink one eighty two, that on you.
That is Darwinism.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
That is fine, amen. And that's how it started the
Fire Festival. They lied about everything there was supposed to be,
all these bands there was none of. And these people
showed up models to beautiful people, all the influencers it
was supposed to be on originally on this island that
was owned by not Pablo Escobar but Carlos leda of

(30:44):
the Mediine cartel. And the people who owned the island
now said don't mention any of it, and they went
out and mentioned it, and so they kicked them off
the island. Then they got an opportunity to basically do
this in a parking lot next to his sandals in
the Bahamas. And I say that because guess what, guys

(31:06):
fool me once, fool me twice.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
Fire I is real. My dream is finally becoming a reality.

Speaker 17 (31:13):
Eight years after the infamous Fire Festival spectacularly flamed out,
no one can get in the room, leaving attendees who'd
been expecting a glamorous music festival sleeping in emergency relief
tents and eating cheese sandwiches. The failed festival even gaining
global attention, with streaming documentaries showcasing the debacle.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
The biggest event a decade.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
I promise you it's founder.

Speaker 17 (31:36):
Billy McFarlane, who spent four years behind bars for fraud,
says it's.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Back and will actually happen safely this time.

Speaker 17 (31:44):
McFarland sat down exclusively with NBC News revealing the festival's
exact location islam Muheries, Mexico, and new dates May thirtieth
to June second, pushed back by a month.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Already push back by a month, Billy, Why.

Speaker 19 (32:00):
Just need the extra month to give our partners time
to get everything ready.

Speaker 17 (32:03):
Using partners is new this time around. McFarlane is no
longer handling the details. A major festival operator is on board,
along with hotel and travel partners and ticketing companies.

Speaker 22 (32:13):
Why do you think those partners agreed to partner with
you given what happened the first time?

Speaker 19 (32:18):
Fire to really isn't about the past, and it's not
really about me. It's about taking the vision, which is strong.

Speaker 17 (32:25):
Tickets go on sale this morning, just two thousand in total,
ranging in price from fourteen hundred dollars to one point
one million dollars, and experience, McFarlane says, includes yacht accommodations
and access to artists performing, though no artists have been
announced yet.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Which is a big deal because there was all these
artists announced last time, and they didn't know they were
going to be there. How about this. You had Blink
one eighty two, major laser. They were big at the time.
Lil YACHTI still big bunch of other artists at the
time that we're big that aren't really big anymore and

(33:05):
they had no idea. Imagine that, Hey, you guys going
to that concert that you're supposed to be headlining. Wait what, Well,
who's going to be there now, Chad, that's a great question, Billy,
who's going to be there this time? Do you have
the actual artists locked and loaded?

Speaker 19 (33:24):
So we're going to have artists across electronic, hip hop, pop,
and rock.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
However, it's not just music.

Speaker 19 (33:28):
We might have a professional skateboarder do a demonstration, you
might have an MMA champion teach you techniques in the morning,
and you say, we.

Speaker 17 (33:35):
Might have are any of these for sure haves?

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Are they booked?

Speaker 23 (33:39):
So?

Speaker 19 (33:39):
I think what makes Fire so cool is that we
are selling the experience of fire. I want to be
one of the first festivals that can sell out.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
With no artists, but you do have them booked.

Speaker 19 (33:49):
We're doubtsing the artists over the next few months, so
I'm not in charge of booking the talent.

Speaker 17 (33:53):
Will these be a list names that are involved?

Speaker 19 (33:56):
I really hope so, and I expect so from our conversations.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Do you guys, if you're going to go and you're
going to be an artist, get the money up front.
Apparently as four different partners that are helping out this time,
that are really doing everything by the sounds of it,
because I'm not even sure Billy's allowed to go, because
you see, Billy did go to jail for stealing a
lot of money from people.

Speaker 17 (34:22):
But whether McFarlane will see any of this firsthand and
open question because part of his penalty restricts his travel.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
Can you go to Mexico? So I don't know.

Speaker 19 (34:33):
I have to be okay with mentally maybe watching a
live stream from my computer and crying a little bit.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
I have to ask for international travel.

Speaker 17 (34:39):
McFarland says he knows the experience might not be for everyone.

Speaker 19 (34:43):
It's two thousand people taking their risk, seeking the adventure
and wanting to be there for the moment.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
Taking the risk.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Is it a risk to my ticket to fire Festival too?

Speaker 6 (34:53):
I think it's always a risk.

Speaker 19 (34:54):
You're taking a risk because I made a lot of
bad decisions and messed up the first festival.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
Until it's experienced, there is a risk component to it.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
I love that alt Roker because Owl's not a fool
but I can almost guarantee you because of the wackiness
from the first one and this opportunity to participate in
the second one and the adventure that might be, this
thing will sell the hell out, even if people lose money,

(35:24):
because they'll have an opportunity to blow it up on
the internet. Oh yeah, you watch three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Sure, Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things right here on
the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, hour number two, talk
a little bit about the economy. We're also going to

(35:44):
talk about what's going on in the sky because once again,
yet another issue when it comes to Blaines and flight,
yet another its you on a delta flight. We'll talk
about that, plus their DEI stuff. Oh yeah, kids, Wait,
do you hear about this? All this DEI stuff is

(36:06):
wacky and Wisconsin. What are you doing? Governor? Are you
being serious? This is why you fail. Keep doing it, Democrats,
keep running a stupid and you're going to continue to
lose you Missing of the show, grab the podcast. It
is a Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Well, the emails have been put out there, and they've
been extended. Today, many of these emails are being thought
about and talked about, kind of like this.

Speaker 24 (37:06):
I just got an email from Elon Musk. I have
to answer a question here.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
Okay.

Speaker 24 (37:12):
First question, how long have you been employed by the
Department of Health?

Speaker 21 (37:17):
Four years?

Speaker 24 (37:18):
Okay, this isn't that bad. Okay, all right? Next question,
what is your job title? Well, what is your job title?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
Well, what do you do? Nothing?

Speaker 5 (37:30):
No?

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Like really when you go in, what do you do like?

Speaker 6 (37:35):
Nothing?

Speaker 12 (37:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Wait a minute, this can't be real. Is this some
sort of parody? Just get that one for now.

Speaker 24 (37:40):
Okay, what is your main job responsibility?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I can figure this out, all right.

Speaker 24 (37:47):
I briefed the Assistant Health Secretary on matters of health
when she was in town.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Wait, when he was in town.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
Wait.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I don't know what to say.

Speaker 15 (38:08):
I can do this, all right.

Speaker 24 (38:09):
Last question, all right, name five things you did last week?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, that's not very funny. Nah, it kind of is funny.
You want to know what the federal employee's biggest issue
is the Democrats, and they're hyperventilating, crazy, over the top,
throw themselves in front of the car. Attitude along with

(38:47):
them going on the news all the time. Just because
they invite you doesn't mean you have to say yes,
so you can be the victim. This is a worker yesterday.
I did a video on it last night, but you
can check it out or you can listen right here,
who went on to talk about her position. Now infuriated

(39:14):
she is over all of this.

Speaker 16 (39:16):
First, just tell us about this email and what it
was like receiving it, and what you all have talked
about after getting it.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
Sure, I got.

Speaker 23 (39:27):
This email Saturday afternoon about three pm, and I felt
absolutely infuriated getting this email with a demand within forty
eight hours to provide a response and what I did
within the last week or face termination. This is clearly

(39:47):
an attempt from Elon Musk to harass and bully and
intimidate the federal workforce, which is part of his broader
plan to gut the federal workforce and privatize public sector
services to ensure that corporations like his own can get
more profit. And that makes me really angry my coworkers

(40:09):
as well.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Get over your self. Get over your self when I
hear that that's what most Americans go. That's off putting.
How dare he send me an email? Who do you
think you are? How dare you approach me? I'm a

(40:33):
civil servant and I'm very civil, indeed usive of federal workers.
And then it's just plain wrong.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
It's random abusive. Yes, I do. I do think that.

Speaker 17 (40:45):
I think the way that they are, the way that
they are treating them.

Speaker 25 (40:50):
How is this abusive email from someone that said you
better do this or else you're going to resign?

Speaker 2 (40:58):
From someone who's not your boss?

Speaker 6 (41:00):
Uh?

Speaker 18 (41:01):
Well, the White House is every federal workers boss. That's
number one, Scott.

Speaker 26 (41:08):
How is he not going to evaluate? I mean, how
is he going to evaluate the work of thousands of
federal employees when he has no idea whether he's not?

Speaker 18 (41:16):
The test was are you even paying attention to your email?

Speaker 26 (41:19):
Are federal workers? She sent it on a weekend. Some
federal workers do not have access to their emails on
the weekends.

Speaker 18 (41:25):
They just go to work today. I mean, look the
amount of outrage, melting down and sort of outpouring of
emotion over this ought to tell you everything you need
to know.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Absolutely ghetto belf Okay, you're sanctimonious doesn't work here. People
are bored with turning on the TV and seeing you
standing there crying. I can't believe they send me any
email and asked me to justify my with this. I

(41:58):
can't even believe that after I didn't even know these
kind of things could take place. Damn Skippy, they can
and they should. Everybody I know in the private sector
has goals. They must obtain, things they must do to
re to retain employment, to continue to be employed. You

(42:19):
act as if you were some h you can't approach me.
I am a civil servant. I'm both civil and servanting everything.
How dare you ask me? No? Not dare you honestly
what do you do here? So we're asking I put

(42:40):
this out last night, man, I had a bunch of
people go would you do last week? Okay, you want
to know? I did thirteen radio shows top of that that,
did several videos. Top of that, I had to do
a ton of stuff for my other company, sales and whatnot,
video editing because I employ people. See the way this goes,

(43:01):
and you know that that's what most people have to
do in the private sector. This, I can't believe. This
is the stuff when you hear people like Anna Navarro
and the people on CNN and MSNBC. It's like, I
can't believe they asked people to do this with an email.
Oh my god, you're making them out to be weak

(43:21):
victims of some oppressive regime that is giving them death
by poison or death by hanging, and none of that
is true. They're just asking, hey, what do you do
around here?

Speaker 18 (43:35):
We had a lady on CNN today, a supposed federal
worker who said she was infuriated.

Speaker 6 (43:41):
By the getting this email.

Speaker 18 (43:42):
She had time to go on CNN, but she didn't
have time to send a thirty second email saying, well,
here's what I was working on last week. This is
what people in a private sector have come to hate
about how they view the public sector. And I think
there's a great many, very dedicated public servants. But you said,
you know, it's about control. It's about control, and it's
about finding out who is actually at their job working

(44:04):
and who isn't and do we meet all of these
sending how.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Did sitting an email do that? Because they refuse to
send an email back, but they'll go on CNN. I
refuse out of principle to send an email back, but
I'll go on CNN and talk about out of principle,
how horrible these people are. I got it over the weekend. Now, look,
do I think the dough is cleaning it up?

Speaker 18 (44:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Do I think it's crushing it now, not the way
that I think that a lot of people on the
right are celebrating, because the numbers don't bear out to
the things that are really going on. Talked about that
yesterday and I had several people reach out on all
my shows, As you guys know, I do a lot
of shows, all saying well, where you get your numbers from.

(44:51):
I'm like, well, first of all, partly from DOGE, because
they put it out there. And the second part is,
once they do that, I can go check it against
other things and find out that not everything they put
out there is solid. Elon said, I'm gonna miss some,
but the one thing I do believe DOJE has done
is exposed the insanity of what is going on. Expose

(45:12):
the insanity of the waste of money. Fraud's gonna take
a little while longer, and part of the problem is
we're gonna get to this next hour in a much
deeper dive with the data Republican. Who is somebody that
Elon saw what she tweeted. Talked to her really quick

(45:36):
and said, I want you to do this all based
on AI and it's really good. But she found out that,
oh my god, everybody here's full of crap. Of course
they are. You don't want to know why we're never
gonna get to the bottom of it. It's because every
one of these people in these corporations that we call

(46:00):
Republicans and Democrats, every one of them, it's playing the
same game. It's co chit's pepsi, That's what it is.
They don't want anybody else in the game. They don't
want to share, and they want to make sure that
everybody in and around them, the sphere around them is
taken care of, because it all gets back to them.

(46:23):
They have set up their fiefdoms, they have made it
legal in a slimy way to grift on all of us,
and that includes Republicans, plenty of them. I talked to Timbershett,
who is a congressman out in Tennessee, and he and
I were chatting, and he said, I would love it

(46:45):
to be only Democrats to do this, but I know
a lot of my Republican coworkers, if you will, are
as guilty as anybody else. Of course, I go back
to that movie, Distinguished Gentleman, and if you've never seen it,

(47:06):
it is hilarious. At a time when quite frankly, Eddie
Murphy wasn't at the top of his game. I don't
know what was going on, but in that movie, he
figured out how to get elected to Congress. And he
told his band of Coharts, who were part of his
con artistry that he was involved with because he was

(47:30):
a hustler, that they were going to a place where
the greatest con was going on.

Speaker 13 (47:37):
Thomas Jefferson Johnson is no ordinary con man.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
There is only one place where people like him.

Speaker 21 (47:44):
I want to tell y'all about a town where the
streets are paved with the gold.

Speaker 6 (47:48):
I mean Las Vegas. No, none of Los Vegas.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
He's talking about Washington, d C. I am running for Congress.
That whole movie is about how he goes to Congress.
He's a con man, and it's all about money. It's
all about who you know fundraising all of this stuff.
It is funny and it's sad because it's so real.

(48:11):
I call out both sides, kids, both of you all
a bunch of hypocrites. Three two, three five three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadmnston show's your Twitter

is going on in the skies? We're gonna talk about it.
What's the weather like in the airplane? It's foggy, Jim
said Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Joe Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Now it's time in the program where we asked the
question what the is going on in the air case
in point yet another issue when it comes to flight.

Speaker 27 (50:01):
The twenty five year old Boeing seven seventeen bound for Columbia,
South Carolina, with ninety nine passengers and crew on board,
but just minutes into the flight, the cabin filling with
that thick haze. Delta saying the flight crew followed procedures
making an emergency landing. Passenger is seen going down slides
and standing on one of the wings.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
We kept saying, well, how are we gonna get down?

Speaker 25 (50:24):
And we had to go back in the plane and
during more smoke and then go to the other exit.

Speaker 27 (50:30):
Atlanta Fire Rescue helping to evacuate the plane.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
The only good news is you got to go down
the little slide. Normally, though by the way, people get
hurt on the slide. More than any other thing. Do
you know that for whatever reason, that slide is dangerous
because you don't understand how you have to go down it.
You have to put your hands across right, and then

(50:56):
put your legs across and then you slide that. You
never listen. You gotta listen. So there was Hayes, you know,
been great if it was purple haze. Purple haze, But
what the hell is going on with our planes? According
to the flight crew, they followed all procedures and there,

(51:17):
of course, in today's modern world, what do we have
video of it? So it landed on runway twenty seven,
the slides were deployed for egress. Gotta love it for
the egress, and then down people went down, they went.
It's departed from Columbia at eight thirty am, caring about

(51:37):
ninety four customers, souls, two pilots, three flight attendants. Two
of those passengers treated for e by EMT and then
released and don't know what happened again, it's it's crazy.
People are saying. They started to see smoke fill up
inside the plane, and then they said nobody was doing anything,

(51:59):
and nobody was even coming on the intercom saying hey, guys,
sorry about this, but uh, you know we're we're hot
box and nothing. I don't think they were hot boxing
three two three, five three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, your Instagram and

(52:20):
check out the YouTube Chad Benson Show TV. Like and subscribe.
Appreciate when you do that. Right here on the Chad
Benson Show. This is another Delta flight because a Saturday night,
another Delta flight bound for Sydney from well Saintealis More
smoke in the galley. This one is an A three
fifty nine hundred. That's one of those big dogs. So

(52:44):
not a good few weeks. So is this the last
piece that was missing when it comes to the JFK files?
Are we? Are we going to get everything now? Because
is there anybody left after yesterday? I would find it
hard to believe there is.

Speaker 10 (52:59):
He was the agent who raced to the presidential limousine
seconds after the shots were fired.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Clint Hill, a Secret Service agent assigned to Missus Kennedy, said,
and I quote he is dead for decades.

Speaker 10 (53:11):
Hill was consumed by grief. In twenty twenty two, he
told ABC News he'd attempted suicide.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I was ashamed, I guess, but Hill.

Speaker 10 (53:18):
Also reflected then on how lucky he was to have
traveled the world with Jackie Kennedy. On his death at
ninety three, the Secret Service calls Hill a worldwide symbol
of courage and a revered icon of the agency.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I am hoping and God bless him. And of course
he became very famous for jumping in the back of
the car, and the whole nine is we're doing to
relive that. That was ugly. But I'm hoping that we're
gonna get everything. I don't know if we will or won't.
I mean, we're already talking today. They're like, did you
guys hear that they destroyed all the epstein for us?
You're like, what already? I thought we were gonna have

(53:52):
those with the like, you know, five minutes. Whatever government does,
it makes everybody go, this is why nobody trusts you.
So could this be the last if you will piece
of the puzzle? And now we can see it? Ah,
we shall see three two three Free Chad Betson Shows,

(54:13):
your Twitter, tweet, text, love hand from all of you.

Speaker 28 (54:15):
Chad Bentson Show, Son, Chad Benson, Joe, The Chad Benson Show,

(54:42):
Joy Read is gone.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Do I take joy in that? I do not? Is
she a pious, sanctimonious, race baiting individual who for the
most part felt they were morally superior, did more to

(55:05):
divide than ever unite. She's not gone for any of
the things that she said. She's gone because she's her job.
That's it. Your job was to entertain, and you were
nothing but dour, sad, and unentertaining. You weren't. You weren't

(55:29):
anything other than that. The reality is, had you not
been on a left leaning station, if you were on
a station where they brought you on and they didn't
care what you said, but you had to be entertaining
and they weren't judging you by being a female or black,
your ass would have been fired a long time ago
because you're not entertaining. You never were ever. The most

(55:58):
entertainment people got out of you was conservative media who
thought you were so awful. You were hilarious. People are
going to be sad to see you go in that world.

Speaker 29 (56:14):
Big News tonight will be Joy Reid's final show on
MSNBC Single Tier White Woman Tears Happening right here. Joy.
She was officially fired over the weekend because She's a racist,
horrible news anchor with no ratings, and that's that's really
been the truth for a long time. MSNBC's under new management,

(56:37):
and I guess they decided to come to grips with reality.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
The truth is this is very.

Speaker 29 (56:43):
Sad news for us, as she's provided so.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Much material over the years.

Speaker 29 (56:48):
I feel the way I felt when Brian Stelter got fired,
but he came back, and you never know.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I'm sure Joy.

Speaker 29 (56:54):
Reid will wind up doing something where we will continue
to get to respond to her absolutely insane pov.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
You were never entertaining, Megan and Kelly. Look, I don't
find most people in this world entertaining, to be honest
with you, very few of them are. I will take
if you're not going to be entertaining, you better be brilliant.

(57:24):
Like brilliant, You weren't any of those You whined, you bitched,
you moaned, You made everybody a victim, and much like
Brian Stelter, At least Brian Stelter, mister potato ed was
somewhat awful, but so awful he was entertaining. You weren't

(57:44):
even that. You bitched all the time, told everybody how
awful they were made everybody a victim and then want
people to feel sorry for you. It wasn't going to happen.

Speaker 25 (58:03):
But I've been through every emotion from you know, anger, rage, disappointment, hurt,
you know, feeling that, you know, guilt. You know that
I let my team lose their jobs. My show had value,
and that I'm sorry that that what I was doing

(58:24):
head value, head value, And in the end, I'm sorry,
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
I try not to cry on to good God, get
over yourself. Don't feel bad. She decided to do contracts,
she gets three million dollars a year. I'm sure she's
walking away with a decent amount. She's not going to
starve and I don't even know where ship crop up
and she'll make more money and blah blah. That being said,

(58:48):
you didn't add value. Ratings were underneath the cat box.
They were off because you weren't entertaining right or wrong,
be entertaining. I was told that by a guy named

(59:13):
Colin Calhert when I first went and I was going
to go national, and I was excited, and I asked
him for a bit of advice set a book signing.
He said, people don't care if you're right or wrong,
be entertaining. She wanted to be right all the time.

(59:35):
Who doesn't. She was wrong a lot of the times.
Who isn't wrong at times? But she left out the
key thing. She was never entertaining, and even when she
tried to be, she wasn't. But most of the time
she came across as a buck. That's not very nice. No,

(59:58):
that's honest. That's honesty. Again, I don't revel in her
her staff losing their gigs. Never do that. Put aside,
you didn't entertain and nobody watched. And because nobody watched,

(01:00:25):
eventually you were gone. Other places you would have been
gone a lot, a lot earlier. Some people think it's
a mistake.

Speaker 30 (01:00:32):
Joy Reads show The readout ended tonight, and Joy is
not taking a different job in the network. She is
leaving the network altogether. And that is very, very very
hard to take. There is no colleague for whom I
have had more affection and more respect than Joy Read.
I love everything about her. I have learned so much

(01:00:53):
from her. I have so much more to learn from her.
I do not want to lose her as a colleague
here at MSNBC, And personally, I think it is a
bad mistake to let her walk out the door.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Why why is it a bad mistake? She was a
very good Sometimes you gotta say, hey, look, we'll miss her,
right if you had a good relationship with her, but
alas we move on. Wasn't a good fit, wasn't entertaining,
wasn't whatever will miss her. She was a solid contributor

(01:01:28):
to the eight people that watched her show. I'm sure
I'll get some flak from some people. Again, I don't
wish her knee you will, God bless her. I hope
she goes out and it's miserable somewhere else and she
can scream and yell how this was racist, because you
know that's coming sexist patriarch. It's a patriarchy, massagynistic. Whatever

(01:01:55):
they're gonna say, continue, Rachel.

Speaker 30 (01:01:57):
It is also unnerving to see that on a network
where we've got two count of two non white hosts
in primetime. Both of our non white hosts in primetime
are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the Weekend.
That feels indefensible and I do not defend it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
But the lady taken over is black. Well, that's not
the same, though it's under it once again, you're missing
the point, as you guys all tend to do. You're
not enterdating.

Speaker 30 (01:02:31):
It is not news for me to tell you that
the press and freedom of the press are under attack
in a way that is really it's a big deal
for our country. It's very visceral for us here. I
know that the business of the press is not an
easy thing.

Speaker 6 (01:02:44):
And I know that no job is forever.

Speaker 30 (01:02:47):
But I think I'm safe in saying for all of
us anchors who you know through the TV, please know
that what pains.

Speaker 6 (01:02:54):
Us the most is not what happens to us. It
is what happens to our coworkers.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
By the way, Simone Sanders Black, excuse me, Simone Sanders,
Townsend Black, Michael Steele Black, Alicia Mendez probably Latino, I
would assume. I don't want to you know who knows.
I do know that her dad's Bob Menendez. There's gold

(01:03:23):
in them there, hills. So before everybody loses it over
there at MSNBC, not only are you supposed to inform
at some point in time, you should entertain. And the
most entertaining thing you guys have, and that is a
tough thing to say, is Morning Joe. Because They are

(01:03:46):
the best bad idea you have. That says a lot kids,

to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight said, day at
Chad Benson Show, it's your Twitter, your Instagram, all of
the other things, a lot of stuff still to get to.
The Democrats run it crazy, and you think to yourself,
are they still doing that? Oh, they're doing it this

(01:05:37):
time in Wisconsin. It's a Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped
in a hashtag factory and I can't get out the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
Chat ben Democrats. I keep telling you, run it stupid,
and you'll get stupid. Run it things that have absolutely
nothing to do with reality, and you'll continue to get
what you get, which is loss after loss, and that
is going to continue to gain case and points the

(01:06:20):
hell are you doing? In Wisconsin?

Speaker 31 (01:06:22):
As Wisconsin's governor finalizes the state budget for the next
two years, he's introducing a proposal one that doesn't involve money. Instead,
it focuses on changing everyday words, removing gender specific terms
that refer to men and women. Last week, Democratic Governor
Tony Evers introduced a recommendation to the state Senate to

(01:06:43):
change a Wisconsin law. Evers wants the word mother to
be changed to inseminated person in some cases. In similar fashion,
wife or husband would become spouse and father would simply
become parent. The Republican Governor's Association calls the language a
left wing. Executive director Sarah Craig says being a mother

(01:07:03):
is one of the greatest privileges, so reducing motherhood to
an inclusive term is offensive.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
I'm gonna take politics out of it, right, Republican, Democrat, Progressive, conservative, populous, maga,
I'm gonna take it all out of it. You know
what it is. It's a push to be stupid. That's it.
What are you an insemination getter? I have no idea.

(01:07:29):
I was weener at signed at birth person. Wait what
run at stupid, and you will get more stupid prizes.
Run at stupid, and you will get loss after loss.
This is just about common sense. It's who's upset with this. Well,

(01:07:50):
if I'm a trans person and I can't have a baby,
but I can't have a baby, just not a way,
No nobody cares. Your feelings do not matter better in
the overall common sense world that we live in, they
don't matter. And here's the thing. For all the people
out there that are trans or they're worried that the
world's going to come to an end because Eli Musk,

(01:08:12):
Donald Trump, Lemma, for all of you out there. The
more that you run it stupid, the more that you
push away common sense, the more that you alienate the
average Democrat and centrist, libertarian, disgruntled Republican. The more that
you do that, the more they go in the opposite
direction of you, which makes your dreams of weird utopia

(01:08:35):
even further away, which quite frankly, I think is a
good thing.

Speaker 31 (01:08:39):
It's called Senate Bill forty five, which addresses state finances
and appropriations between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty seven.
But in section thirty one oh six it gets into
the language changes. On page one thousand, seven hundred and
sixty four, the recommendation removes the terms husband, wife, maternal,
and paternal. It goes on to use parentage instead of nity,

(01:09:00):
a term typically used to describe someone as a father
of a child. Gender language has become a key issue
within the nation, advocates wanting to use the term chest feeding,
while opponents want to continue using breastfeeding. On January first,
Massachusetts rolled out a similar law that protects LGBTQ families
and families formed using reproductive assistance. The law ensures legal

(01:09:24):
equality for all families regardless of marital status, gender identity,
or sexual orientation. It mandates an exclusion of the term
mother or father. Maine wrote Island and Vermont are among
the states with similar legislation in place. On day one
of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order aimed at
defending women and blocking gender ideology from replacing the biological

(01:09:47):
sex categories of woman and man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Good. I mean, what what are you talking about? Honest
to God, this is the problem left, This is your
problem right here. Your problem is this. You've decided to
give everybody everything they've dreamed of in their world of identity,
tell the world that they have to believe it or

(01:10:12):
else follow down a path of absolutely an empty giant hallway.
That's the path you're down because there is nobody else
on that path. And what's it going to get you?
Loss after loss, more loss after loss. Somebody text me yesterday,
you can do the same three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:10:32):
twenty four to twenty three at Shead Benson Show is
your Twitter? And I said something about, you know, this
stuff is so stupid only an academic would believe it,
And that goes back to or will. One has to
belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that. No
ordinary man could be such a fool. Yes, nobody could

(01:10:53):
be such a fool. So you've got all these states,
mostly white states. It's always about the white states, Rhode Island, Vermont, Massachusetts, Like,
we should really change the language because this person over
here that decided to want it to be a woman
but still has a willie and breast is upset he

(01:11:15):
doesn't have a womb, so we must change this to
make they them feel better. Well, guess what, keep doing
what you're doing, dumbasses, and they them aren't gonna get
you elected. Nor should they stay away from the Democrats

(01:11:37):
until they can put this nonsense behind them. And here's
the thing. We need two semi decent parties. That's as
far as I'm gonna go.

Speaker 32 (01:11:49):
Like.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
They're both great, but one of them at least is
at least lives in the world of reality. Just so
obsessed with race, gender, all of this craziness. You know what,
You're not obsessed with common sense and winning three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your

(01:12:10):
Twitter tweet at us text the program. I love hearing
from all of You're right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, third hour of the program. Talk a little
bit about the pope. You know, poping ain't easy. How's
he doing? He's old. I'm gonna be honest with you, guys.
He's old. It's eighty eight, having some issues. Talk a

(01:12:32):
little bit about that. More on eggs egg Apocalypse. We'll
talk a little bit about the doves Ukraine and a
lot of you responded. Last hour we touched on the
fire festival. Talk a little bit more about that. Next hour.
That is that festival that went awry about eight years

(01:12:53):
ago and they're coming back with Fire II. If you
miss any of the show, shame, we grab the podcast
Chad Benson jone.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
I always hate to break it to everybody when they
think my team won something and then they go and
they find out you really didn't win anything. And can
we just say this when it comes to things like
the doge, you know who wins America? If we can
cut fraud, waste, and abuse, America wins Chad. The dough
just cut five hundred gazillion dollars out of everything. It hasn't. Okay,

(01:13:57):
news Alert, it hasn't. It doesn't mean it's not exposing
certain things. Doesn't mean it's not giving people food for
thought when it comes to the ridiculousness, in particular of
the way that the Democrats have acted in their protection
of federal employees and bureaucracy, and the way that the

(01:14:19):
federal employee themselves has acted as if how dare you
ask me a question about my employment in what I
do here? But I have said this from jump, if
you're going to be serious about cutting the budget, you've
got to take on the things. What are the things

(01:14:39):
the things which everybody in politics refuse to talk about.
What's that mandated programs? Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits, unemployment, insurance, snap.
Sixty percent of our budget goes right there. Defense gets

(01:14:59):
thirteen and by the way, interest payments. When people go
why is the interest you always talk about the service
to the debt? Why is it important? Thirteen percent of
that we spend the same amount on defense and service
to our debt, not service to the American people, to
the debt we have. The other fourteen percent is for

(01:15:20):
discretionary spending. That is massive. So how are we gonna
find a lot of the waste fraud and abuse? And
I say waste fraud and abuse because let's be real,
we're not gonna touch any of the other things. I
think we've made that pretty much known. So we'll just
drive off the cliff, all the while signaling to everybody

(01:15:40):
it's gonna be okay. So if we're gonna go after waste,
fraud and abuse, how do we do it? You find
somebody who's all about data, And there is that person.
For all the talk of it's about the boys, it's
a boys club. Not so fast. There is a lady
amongst them who may be the one that is the

(01:16:03):
most surgical in all of the doge and uncovering stuff.

Speaker 33 (01:16:08):
She's gained quite a bit of popularity on social media,
even with Elon Musk. The data scientist is very secretive
about her real name being out there in her security,
but she agreed to meet me at an undisclosed location.
She is deaf and we communicated through an interpreter. Big picture,
with all the databases you're looking at and taxpayer money,

(01:16:31):
how much do you think is being wasted or stolen?

Speaker 32 (01:16:36):
If I had a guess, I would say it's over
one hundred billion. But what's more important is what they're
doing with that money.

Speaker 33 (01:16:44):
The mythical X account data Republican, shared over and over
again by Elon Musk himself, is a real person, a
former programmer now full time calling out government waste, like
exposing USAID.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
She is boo brilliant with a capital B. And it's
interesting how you know Musk founder? Was it LinkedIn? It wasn't,
but it was on the web.

Speaker 33 (01:17:13):
How did you get the attention of Elon Musk?

Speaker 22 (01:17:19):
Honestly, I don't know. You'll have to ask him, but
I'm grateful. One day, you just you know, I tweeted.

Speaker 32 (01:17:31):
What everybody should I just tweeted what I found, and
then he tweeted everyone should follow the Data Republican. My
jaw dropped to the floor and I thought, what is
this real life? But I guess tech people find tech people.
I want to be clear, I don't communicate directly with Elon.
He found me and supports my work. But I have
communicated with some people that are involved with DOGE, just

(01:17:53):
on the side, and I don't want to say much
more about that. But I have a working relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Yeah, she has more than a working relationship, There's no
doubt about that. But think about this. You're a computer programmer,
You're brilliant. You're tweeting stuff, and you get retweeted by
Elon Musk, who says follow her. Look at what she's doing.

(01:18:21):
Her stuff is fascinating too. She puts all of it up,
tell us more.

Speaker 33 (01:18:25):
She goes by data and uses AI tools to search
public databases for waste and fraud. She's been to DC
to meet with Elon Musk's DOGE team and publishes all
her findings on x and her website. Charity funding federal
grants non governmental organizations funded by taxpayers.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
It's all there.

Speaker 33 (01:18:44):
What do you say to people who think that this data,
these databases, these numbers have been out there for a
long time, that they've been public for a long time,
and that it's sort of like a publicity stunt that
they're getting all this attention.

Speaker 32 (01:18:58):
Now, that's just an ignorant saysumption. Data does not equal transparency.
I am a database expert, a database scientist, I am
a kernel engineer, and the numbers do not lie. What
I did was I added the index to the book

(01:19:19):
so that people can actually find the awards what they're
looking for. And you have to understand, without AI, this
would not be possible. Because the book is so large.
Nobody can sit down and read the entire thing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
You have no idea how big it is. And that's
where AI is playing a huge role in all of this.
And what she's uncovered is what I've been saying for
a very long time. Both sides are guilty of it.
Both sides are absolutely one hundred percent guilty of it.
And it's not just what we think of in Washington.

(01:19:57):
It's a lot of different places. And she's got a
new project from here.

Speaker 33 (01:20:02):
Her next project could be even bigger, investigating and exposing
what she believes are corrupt politicians and judges. She posted
this weekend still working on the People Connection megaproject. This
will be my first truly financially high cost initiative, so
I need to get it just right.

Speaker 32 (01:20:20):
So my project right now is to work on analyzing
connections and relationships between people in the government, because if
you research people long enough, you start to notice that
they're all working together, they're all married, they're all in laws,
they know each other, they all sit on the same

(01:20:40):
board for many years. And that's my project to map
those relationships and put it on my website.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
That's what's crazy, how many people are all related. DC
is both big and small, big in the amount of
money and opportunity and small in the group of people
that are there. They legally do whatever they want for
the most part, because they're both guilty. That's why they

(01:21:10):
don't want a third party. Last thing we want is
a third party. And because of this, they just move
money from point A to point B, from point B
to point C. But it stays in the same area.
It just moves from different places to different places, different
hands to different hands. But it's all going to the

(01:21:33):
same place whoever's directing it. And remember her name was
Dada Republican, remember that. But after being here she is,
let's just say, not thrilled by the Republicans. She says.

Speaker 33 (01:21:49):
Democrats and Republicans are both to blame.

Speaker 32 (01:21:52):
I cannot tell you enough how much.

Speaker 6 (01:21:54):
Both are involved. It is everywhere now.

Speaker 32 (01:21:57):
We even have members of Congress, So we have sitting
members of Congress that actually sit on the NGOs right now.
They vote in Congress for money for themselves, and they
sit on the same NGOs that they're voting to get money.

Speaker 6 (01:22:17):
It is a.

Speaker 32 (01:22:18):
Huge conflict of interest and it's buried very deep. The
numbers don't lie. This is not a part is an issue,
and if the American people understood completely what we're finding,
there would be outrage across the board.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
And they should. They should be pissed, they should be angry.
Will they I don't know. I don't trust either party.
I don't I think that both parties are Well, they're
really the same, aren't they. I've been saying it for
years since coke and pepsi, and they're both soda. One.

(01:22:56):
You may like a little bit more than the other.
But they don't want a third cola in their game.
So what do they do? They own all the other
colas underneath the energy drinks and everything else. They're competing
amongst themselves for money that they vote themselves. Think about
that for a second. That is just fascinating and sad

(01:23:23):
at the same time. Three two, three, five, three eight,

frustrated because it's not that I'm calling out Doch. By

(01:23:44):
the way, I'm not calling out Dough. I like it.
We all knew there was waste. We all knew there
was a bunch of that crap going on. But I
think the thought of well, we're going to cut a
kazillion dollars, but you're not going to cut into the
biggest part. And it's not about cutting the biggest part too,

(01:24:04):
It's about how do we extend what we have? And
that's where I think everybody goes wrong when they start
talking about social Security and Medicare and all that kind
of stuff. Is we're gonna have to tell people, hey,
we're all living much longer, which is great, but you're
gonna have to work a little bit longer because we
do not have A we don't have the replacement population,

(01:24:26):
and B we're not gonna be able to afford everybody.
So just putting that out there that there's gonna have
to be a real conversation and somebody's gonna have to
have it right now. All sides are terrified to talk
about any of the entitlements yet, well, this is going on.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
Do I think that she lost her job because she
was awful at it more so than her insanity and
her racistness. This is yes, there's a big reason why
she lost her job. She sucked at it.

Speaker 25 (01:29:51):
My show had value and that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
I'm sorry that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Git what I was doing head value head value.

Speaker 25 (01:30:04):
And in the end, I'm trying not to cry on TV,
and I its kind of like me on TV, So
I apologize.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
It's not that you show had value, didn't have value.
Nobody gives a rats ass, nobody cares. Was your show
entertaining It wasn't. It wasn't entertaining at all, and that
was the big issue. We'll talk a little bit more
about this. It's got a bunch of other stuff, some
pope and stuff too. Man poping ain't easy. Talk a

(01:30:35):
little bit about that. So much stuff still to get
to on this beautiful Tuesday. You can reach out across
all of our social media at Chad Benson Show is
your Twitter, your Instagram. Can also leave a voice message
at three two three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three.
We love hearing from you right here on The Chat
Benson Show.

Speaker 28 (01:30:53):
My show had value, Sun Chad Benson Show, The Chad

(01:31:20):
Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Since he became a senator, John Fetterman is my democratic
spirit animal. I find him fascinating. I find him to
be It reminds me a little bit of somebody like
Kirsten Cinema, who was a senator who at one time
was super progressive. The more they got into politics, and

(01:31:43):
then they got into the national side of politics, the
more they realized how insane so much of it was
and theatrical. That's why John doesn't fit there, That's why
it Kirsten didn't fit there. So Fetterman was on a
podcast for The New York and had a lot of
things to say, Well, Chad, did you know that people

(01:32:04):
are resigning from his staff? Yeah, because they probably got
there and thought we're going to make you know everybody
theyse and them's and all that wacky stuff, and then
they got there and realized, Nah, he's not all about that.
He's not as progressive as you thought. He's an American
and he's got common sense and he's just an interesting cat.

Speaker 5 (01:32:25):
I had the opportunity to sit down and meet with
the president. I mean, to me, I thought that was
I doing my job and because for me, for me,
I want to find things that we can work together,
and there's going to be a lot that I'm going
to disagree. I don't think it was controversial. I don't
think anybody. I mean, some people may have found that controversial,
but for me, it's just doing a job and having

(01:32:47):
a conversation, And I would like to remind everybody more
Americans picked him to be president than my team. That
doesn't mean that half our nation are fat or they're terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Are you sure? Because I were? We're told that all
the time. I'm told that all the time. What a
Nazi I am. It's like, okay, what do you say
to people? I sit here and hammer the Democrats and
Republicans all the time. You guys should be thanking me.
Do you how easy it is to be outraged? Smurf,
I'm outraged. The other side's mean or whatever. It's all

(01:33:26):
a bunch of crap.

Speaker 5 (01:33:29):
Continue, John, meeting with the president, that's not capitulation. That's
just as meeting with the president. And you're in the Senate.
The people that are saying that are ones that aren't
tasked to try to get things done. Those are the
kind of things I mean. That's that's the cheap shots
from the cheap seats. For me, having a conversation doesn't
change anything. It's it just means like, hey, maybe we

(01:33:51):
can find out something that we can work together. Otherwise,
you know, maybe not.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
And the problem is in today's world, one hundred percent
of nothing for a certain group of uber extremists online.
It's far more important than eighty percent of something for us,
the exhausted majority. It's it's not hard to see what's

(01:34:25):
going on. And that's why you know, when I talk
about our show, because it's our show, I hear from
all of you, the left, the right. Yes, are there
extremists out there.

Speaker 12 (01:34:35):
They are.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
We try to clear them out of the way, but
they're fun at times. But it's about giving you a voice.
It's about me trying to be that sledgehammer for everybody
and having some common sense which is evaporating on a
daily basis when it comes to politics.

Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
Like I in that video that I stood up for
the trans community. Like I know it's popular politically, but
that's exactly the time I wanted to lean on. That is,
as long as the Party makes it more and more difficult.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
For men, That's what I'm asking you.

Speaker 20 (01:35:08):
What is it that the Democratic Party does or supports
that makes it especially difficult for white men.

Speaker 5 (01:35:14):
I think one of the Republicans superpowers is they're immune
to cancel culture. People are more free, they don't have
to have a very strict kind of orthodox that if
you don't agree with that that must make you a
bad person, that might make you a racist, that might
make you homophobic, or those kinds of things.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
A little bit of that's true. There is some form
of conservative cancel culture. But it's more like, well, you're
not part of the tribe, or you've got to move
to a different tribe. It's not like we hope you
disappear and you never work again. That is totally different.
The left throws you out of the tribe. What's to
banish you and make sure that you never have an

(01:35:52):
opportunity to be heard from again. The right just goes, oh,
you're a rhino, and then everybody moves on. Continue Johnny,
I'm enjoying.

Speaker 20 (01:36:00):
This shuddering government agencies without congressional approval. You've said, though,
that this is not a constitutional crisis. If it's not
a constitutional crisis, what is it by definition?

Speaker 5 (01:36:11):
If they openly defy court ruling or from the Supreme Court,
then that, by definition, that is a constitutional crisis.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
Do you think we're headed there?

Speaker 5 (01:36:21):
It's absolutely possible. But you're not going to see me
on MSNBC or on a nation yelling and screaming that
we are in constitutional crisis. You know, But when we
arrive at that one. I'll be the first person to
describe that the people that we are in a constitutional crisis. Absolutely,
the Trump administration is going to test and push the boundaries.
And the second you know, he defies a court, then

(01:36:43):
by definition, that is a constitutional crisis.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
That's by definition. And what do we hear all the
time we're in a constitutional crisis. We're in a constitutional crisis.
We're not in a constitutional crisis. We're not. He's not
define anything, but he's going to Well, then let him
see what happens. I'll call him out because it do.
I'm not going to sit here and pretend that that's, oh, yeah,

(01:37:07):
it's totally fine because you're on the side I voted for.
You're even if it's right, you're on the side that
I voted against it. No, And this is the problem
in today's modern politics and really in today's issues when
it comes to the world, is we're afraid to call
out our own and we're afraid to have conversations. We

(01:37:30):
will not have conversations with somebody anymore that we don't
agree with. And that's a sad state. It really really is.

Speaker 5 (01:37:40):
I'm going to move against my own political interests and
try to say the things that people may not agree
or whatever. But like the border, that's another one. There
is rage on the ground over border and the chaos
and the Democrats. We got the border wrong. We're going
to pay for that. And I was trying to warn
that Trump's coming in hard and we really got to
watch out. And that's turned out the cases well too.

(01:38:03):
And now I'm trying to describe where are we at
right now, and perhaps maybe that's not what's necessary or
what's wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
It's probably not what wanted, because if you're out there
speaking out against your people, if you will, and you're
not speaking out, you're just looking around going I'm reading
the room, guys, and the room says, this is ridiculous.
Like we talked about it last hour, Wisconsin is running
at ridiculous, getting rid of man and woman right talking
about you know, it's just the gendered language. We're going

(01:38:37):
to get rid of it all because we don't like it.
And instead of instead of being a mother, right, you're
a chest feeder or a person that was inseminated. I'm
not making that up. Go listen to the podcast last hour.
It's crazy. They run at insanity and I think he

(01:38:57):
sits here and this is the guy who's had a stroke,
not fully recovered one hundred percent, but looks around. It goes,
I'm in better shape than these idiots.

Speaker 5 (01:39:07):
And then I don't want our party to turn into
just about performative kinds of things. I mean, that's the thing.
And if those things worked, you know, they impeached him twice,
they put him. He was on a civil trial, he
was on criminal trial. It's like, maybe that's not the
way we should be going. Maybe we shouldn't become the
party of scolding and shaming and trying to tell people, hey,

(01:39:31):
you're too dumb. You know, hey, we know more than
you do on those issues.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
But that party enjoys doing that, and they'll continue to
enjoy doing that, and they're going to continue to do
what they do until they figure out this isn't working
and that isn't happening. And I will tell you if
the Republicans don't get it right and Trump doesn't get
it right, and then all of a sudden midterms next year,
there's a changing of the guard. Democrats take back over

(01:40:00):
either the House and the Senator both. Oh I bet
on the first opportunity to go after him. They will,
even though he'll be termed out. They can't help themselves.
And what does that do? It makes everybody go here
we go again and then we react three two, three, five,

(01:41:28):
straight aad. It is the Chad Benson Show. Deep Stinks
No Deep doo doo.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
Yeah, the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
They if I sold you something, right, go knocking on
your door. Hey, everybody, it's me. Sold. So I got
this great thing. Blah blah blah blah. Show it to
You're like, oh my god, that looks amazing. You buy
it from me. In the box, you open it, I'm gone.
There's nothing but rocks. You'd be infuriated, as you should be.
Now imagine I come back. So you're pissed off, you're angry,

(01:42:06):
you're infuriated. Everybody has heard about this, and I'm back
in the neighborhood. Your neighbor's heard about it. Your neighbor's
neighbors heard about it, and I knock on the door
and they say, hey, aren't you that person that sold
my friend that thing? When she opened it up, inside

(01:42:26):
of it was a box of rocks. You would say, yes,
I am, but let me make it up to you
with something even better, and you bought it again. Maybe
there's something. Maybe there isn't. But if there's not, that's
a U issue. And I bring that up because eight

(01:42:50):
years ago there was a thing called the Fire Festival. Now,
if you don't know what the Fire Festival was, it
was supposed to be the most inclusive, luxurious music festival ever.
I mean just awesome tickets, super expensive luxury. Right, everybody's

(01:43:15):
getting their own like cabin. Think about going to a
Couchello one of these big festivals and there's only a
finite amount of people and you're basically having these rock
bands and these R and B artists and all of
this stuff, and hip hop artists, electronic music artists, all
of these soaper stars essentially playing for you in your

(01:43:36):
backyard with a couple of your friends and who's around you.
Kendall Jenner, Mela Hadid Hadid Indeed and lo and behold
it wasn't real. But I'm back with a new one.
That's right, kids. If you don't remember the Fire Festival,

(01:43:59):
let me tell you give.

Speaker 7 (01:44:00):
Memory all these models like in the Bahamas, the most
insane festival the world has ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
Island get away turned disaster.

Speaker 3 (01:44:09):
It became very far baring right now, everything, Just wait
until you see what you're getting yourselves.

Speaker 6 (01:44:19):
Into American rappers.

Speaker 31 (01:44:22):
Our rule isn't the Bahamas, which is business partner is.

Speaker 30 (01:44:26):
An amazing entrepreneur.

Speaker 6 (01:44:27):
He could convince anyone else pretty much anything.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
They just bought an island, Pablo Escobar's island. Oh my god,
we're gonna throw it festival. Yeah, within forty eight hours
they sold out.

Speaker 18 (01:44:40):
These guys are either completely full of shit or the
smartest guys in the room.

Speaker 19 (01:44:43):
And then one picture of cheese on to us thrip
down the festival.

Speaker 20 (01:44:48):
The event's co founder is facing up to twenty years
in prison.

Speaker 21 (01:44:53):
If you had thousands of dollars to go on a
trip to see Blink one eighty two, that on you.
That is Darwinism.

Speaker 9 (01:45:00):
That is fine and.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
I love it. So the Fire Festival is back. This
will be the second one because the first one never happened.
It fell apart so fast. It was incredible how fast
it fell apart. People arrived, they paid all this money.
They realized, oh, this isn't what they told us this
was going to be. They sold us a bill of goods.

(01:45:23):
None of this stuff is real. What there's no bands,
it's raining. They have nowhere to go. The yurts aren't
set up. They put the mattresses out there. This isn't
a private island, no, because the private island was not
owned by Pablo Escobar. It was owned by another Mediine
cartel member at the time. He had sold it because

(01:45:45):
of issues. And once they brought that up in some
of the advertisement after the people who had the island
and was going to lease it to them and told
him don't they said, no, we're not going to have
you guys come out here. So instead they did it
in this little area in the Bahamas. There was essentially

(01:46:06):
it wasn't secluded. It was next to like a sandals,
but you couldn't get to the sandals because they were
booked up. But it was a parking lot. It was
a nightmare. And alas this guy's got the cajone's enough
to come back because the first one went so well,
they said, Hey, let's do another fire.

Speaker 6 (01:46:25):
I is real. My dream is finally becoming a reality.

Speaker 17 (01:46:28):
Eight years after the infamous Fire festival spectacularly flamed out.
No one can get in the room, leaving attendees who'd
been expecting a glamorous music festival sleeping in emergency relief
tents and eating cheese sandwiches. The failed festival even gaining
global attention with streaming documentaries showcasing the debacle.

Speaker 6 (01:46:49):
The biggest event a decade, I promise you.

Speaker 17 (01:46:51):
It's founder Billy McFarlane, who spent four years behind bars
for fraud, says it's back and will actually happen safely
this time, and sat down exclusively with NBC News revealing
the festival's exact location, Isla Mujerres, Mexico and new dates
May thirtieth to June second, pushed back by a month.

Speaker 2 (01:47:11):
Oh no, why is it pushed back by a month?

Speaker 23 (01:47:13):
Billy?

Speaker 19 (01:47:13):
We just needed the extra month to give our partner's
time to get everything ready.

Speaker 17 (01:47:17):
Using partners is new this time around. McFarlane is no
longer handling the details. A major festival operator is on board,
along with hotel and travel partners and ticketing companies. Why
do you think those partners agreed to partner with you
given what happened the first time?

Speaker 19 (01:47:32):
Fire to really isn't about the past, and it's not
really about me. It's about taking the vision, which is strong.

Speaker 17 (01:47:39):
Tickets go on sale this morning, just two thousand in total,
ranging in price from fourteen hundred dollars to one point
one million dollars, and experience, McFarlane says, includes yacht accommodations
and access to artists performing, though no artists have been
announced yet.

Speaker 2 (01:47:56):
Oh wait what now? This is where it gets good.
By the way, he may not be able to go
there because of all of the stuff with his conviction.
But there are no artists announced. There is no like
super A listers that they've mentioned. What they've mentioned, it's
going to be an experience. So you may get like

(01:48:17):
a skateboarder or a UFC guy doing demonstrations, and you
may get a band. It's just hilarious. You know who's
going to go to this. Idiots that have money who
want to be a part of something, even if it's
an absolute disaster so they can say they were a
part of it. Oh those people do it to the
first fire, They get to say they were a part

(01:48:38):
of it. Oh, if this one sucks too, it'll be great.
You get what you get, you get what you get,
and unfortunately in America we got stupid and it's really, really,
really prevalent. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
