Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
So past weekend, I decided to head out to a
Tesla protest event out I had get there early, not
a lot of people there yet, said all right, go
get some lunch, come back. Sidewalks packed, like all right,
this is what I want. I want to talk to people.
I'm not a gotcha guy. You know that I can

(00:34):
listen to both sides, which we should all. Do you
understand that where there's some wack of doos out there.
Of course there's wackadows everywhere. By the walk through them all,
there's a wackado in there. Some people were looking for
a fight, and by that I'm not talking about a fistfight,
an argument. Other people didn't want to talk because they
thought you were going to turn you into a gotcha

(00:56):
thing or whatever thing that they wanted to do. They
just think that you're you're out there. You can't even
talk to them because part of the reason is they're
afraid to have any conversation because they don't want to
have a conversation where they're going to be you know,
have pushback.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Me.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I just wanted to have a conversation. You got a
lot of no kings. No nazis a lot of stuff
like that. I met some very nice people. I met
some people that were angry. One thing I did notice though,
there there's a lot of fear, a lot of fear
out there, a lot of fear because things are changing.

(01:37):
They feel like they do not have any handle on
what is going on. They're scared because they think all
these things are being taken away from them, and that
these are all things that were beneficial to all kinds
of people. And it was It was interesting. Again, it's

(02:01):
an interesting display of first and foremost are freedoms, but
secondly also just to have a conversation with people. And
I love that. A lot of people out there they
don't want to have conversation. They don't they don't want
to sit down and talk. They don't want to listen

(02:22):
to what the other side has to say. This lady
named Heather, you know, like if you went to Central
Casting and he said, give me somebody from that, she
looked like the cheshire cat who has a bunch of
you know, pins and needles in her face. And I
do not want to talk. I got ear rings on

(02:42):
punk rock. I got no problem with that. But if
you were to go there, bigger girls, she dressed like
the chess. Your cat, she's got the pink hair in
the whole nine yards. And you know, I asked her
and she was totally fine with having a conversation, which
is great because some of the other people out there weren't.
But why what's your name? Way out here?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Had there because of Musk Trump, Maga racism. We're all
here illegally originally, so.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
The discrimination humanitarians. Let's go, So what would you like
to see happen? What's your ultimate goal?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Safety and security for my vents, for my disabled, for
my elderly. When you are sixty, you should be able
to retire and not have to worry about shit, and
all of that's trying to be taken up by Musk
Trump and his whole fucking crew.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Got a lot of that from her, uh, but she
also said, look, yeah, there's tons of waste and fraud.
She was, you know again, she was a bit all
over the place. But I didn't have a problem. And
there were some people out there that were trying to
get the gotcha on both sides, trying to get that
gotcha thing, trying to get you to say something ridiculous.
Everybody was filming each other it was like it. It

(03:54):
was kind of hilarious. The ultimate goal is you want
to see you want to see the the right kind
of fall and some sort of progressive utopia kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Not a utopia, there's no such thing. But we are
human beings. We all have rights, we all deserve equality.
It doesn't matter what where you come from, what color
your skin is, what you got in your clothes, it
don't matter. We are human beings on this fucking planet.
We are all equal on this planet.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Period.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
They never had a lot of it was the same
we want a quality, we want this, we want that,
we want It was never well how do we get there?
Because I asked them, and well, we need checks and bounces. Okay,
but you know we got to cut certain places. We
wouldn't run our house like that. You couldn't afford to
do that. You can't print money, you don't have unlimited
borrowing pattern power. So there was a lot of there

(04:47):
was no real answers, just a lot of anger. And
when I talked to people, because some people just wanted
to have a conversation without the camera. Totally understandable because
by the way, there were a lot of people out there.
I've ran to several constitutional conservatives out there against Trump
and what is going on. People get nervous. Your cameras
on them, they get a little bit nervous, and I

(05:09):
understand that, especially in today's Got Your World. It was interesting,
We're going to talk about it throughout the day because
they've got a lot of wants, they got a lot
of fears. They don't have a lot of answers. The
lot of wants are tax the rich more, Well, what

(05:31):
happens if you tax the rich and then eventually you
run out of their money? Well then what? Well then,
I don't know. Do you think we should have cuts? Yes,
everybody always wants to say cuts are great as long
as it's not to me. As long as it's not
to me. But they were angry at Elon, angry at Trump,

(05:55):
and angry at the system. But I also found there
was a lot of people angry at both sides and
weren't happy with the They don't want Some of them
want the uber progressive world, but they didn't want this
crazy chaos that both sides allow to happen to continue.

(06:20):
They were frustrated at both sides, and I found that
to be fascinating. And the Doge thing was fascinating as well.
I said, look, a lot of people are on board
with doge, A lot of people are on board with cutting,
a lot of people are on board with getting rid
of useless stuff. And those people were like, yeah, we

(06:41):
need to get rid of some of it, but not
all of it. I said, well, how do you know
what you're getting rid of? Well, Trump, you know, is
getting rid of all this stuff. I said, yeah, but
they're being shot down on the courts. These things were
all designed to get to a certain level, and this
is all Congress's issue. And then they all had something
to say about Congress, and we'll get to that in
a little bit. How is dough? What are people thinking
about the president?

Speaker 6 (07:01):
The agenda, the policies, the approach that he's seeking is
supported by the American people. They do believe there's waste, fraud, abuse,
and corruption in government, and they do want to be reduced.
But they don't want it done haphazardly. They don't want
it done with a chainsaw, which is that prop that
Elon used. They want it done carefully, respectfully, decently. If

(07:25):
it chooses to engage in the same kind of rhetoric
that basically says that all government is bad, all government
employees should be put on notice. The public is going
to say no.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
So everybody agrees that waste fraud abuse is bad, but
nobody really has an answer to what the waste fraud
abuse is and the corruption. Nobody really has an answer
of well, why do we need twelve people to do
something that could take two people? And nobody can answer

(07:59):
a lot of those questions. Again, some people were nervous,
didn't want to go on camera. Some people did. We're
gonna we're gonna break it down tonight. I've got some
decent amount of video as well that we're going to
play for you tonight. We're gonna do it live as
we stream it right around eight o'clock Eastern, so you
can go to an at chab Into show on YouTube

(08:19):
and Instagram and Twitter and check it out. But they
all agree that we need to cut we need to
do this, we need to do that. It's popular, but
they didn't know where to, they didn't know when, they
didn't know how. But a lot of it had to
do with feelings. They're just like, well, the people shouldn't
lose their jobs.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
I said, well, why aren't you guys out protesting when
a big you know company over here is you know,
laying off fifteen or you know, fifteen hundred and two
thousand people, Well, it's different because they see these people
as some sort.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Of of untouchables because they believe that they're working for
peanuts and that they re sacrificing, and when you point
out that they're not, then they get frustrated. And I
see that a lot. When you point out the truth,
people get angry with you.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
If this is about more efficient, more effective, and more
accountable government, the public says yes. How the president communicates
is going to determine whether or not the public backs
them or opposes him. If you push people, is it
being done with empathy? Is it being done with compassion?
Americans are angry, and they're more angry now than they've
been at any time in twenty or thirty years, and

(09:31):
they want significant change. So they like the fact that
this administration is taking an aggressive approach to the challenges
that they prioritize. But what they don't like is a
sense of meanness or politicization.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, that sense of meanness comes from the fact that
you're laying off people in the thousands. What do you
want to handshake a hug. I get it, it sucks,
but what exactly do you expect? This isn't about going

(10:07):
through finding it in tools will say I want to
get rid of that person. It's a numbers thing. They're
looking at numbers saying we got to make some changes.
Like I said, it was very interesting to gauge the
way that people feel and not everybody's there. There was
a lot of people there for immigration.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
It was just a place to protest. You had a
lot of people there who were protesting, uh you know
the the I mean and I'm talking about. There was
some whacka duds. They're protesting all kinds of stuff. Trans
Right was a big one, saying that you know, they're
they're erasing everybody and killing them all, although they couldn't.
You know. There was some people there for choice, most

(10:48):
were there for Elon and them. It was just it
was an interesting thing and I and I enjoyed talking
to people because I do juxtaposing some of their positions,
listening to what they have to say. We don't do
enough of that. One theme throughout it though, was common
sense was lost. Common sense was absolutely lost, And the

(11:09):
other theme was both sides are not good. Both sides
have turned this into a uniparty. Both sides are loving
the fact that we fight with each other because it
keeps them relevant and that they use fear a lot
of stuff to get to there. We'll talk more about this,
Plus we're gonna talk about Ezra Kleine and Derek Thompson's

(11:32):
new book. It's called Abundance. Ezra was on with Bill
Maher over the weekend and it's very interesting. A lot
of people are saying this is the roadmap for success
for the Democrats. Talk a bit about that bunch of
other stuff to get to as well. Raycon best earbuds around.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
Hundreds of unionized letter carriers and their leaders packed into
Chicago's Federal Plaza to send a message to those in
Washington who might come after their jobs. Senator Dick Durby
among the long list of politicians who came out in
support of the letter carriers.

Speaker 8 (13:26):
Do you think privatizing the postal service is a good
idea are.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
A bad idea.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Eddie moved to merge USPS with the Commerce Department may
not be possible without an Act of Congress.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Now, let's talk about USPS for just a second. And
we've heard this for how long. This goes back to
another thing we've talked about in the past, which is
how broke government is, how inefficient it is, how slow
it is for change, and we go on and on.
So let's break down the cost of running the United

(14:04):
States Postal Service losing money handover fist like you could
not believe. In fact, over the last several years, their
best year was a net loss of almost a billion,
but that is only because Congress gave them relief. On average,
it's about seven billion bucks give or take they are

(14:27):
now now it gets much worse long term. No matter
what they do, it isn't going to fix anything. It
isn't They get some breathing room, but there will be
billions of dollars a lost every single year. Can't raise
prices freely or cut unprofitable services. They're unfunded liability. So

(14:51):
these are the liabilities that are out there. You know,
when you hear Elon, come and say look, if you
think we're trillions in debt thirty six. You're right, but
you have no one idea with unfunded liabilities meaning stuff
that we've promised that we owe that we're borrowing against
essentially now to pay off that puts us towards the

(15:11):
eighty trillion four usps one hundred and twenty billion in
long term obligations that are unfunded, from health benefits to
pension liabilities, to workers comp and other costs. So they

(15:33):
can borrow a little bit, but the reality is it'll
be billions of dollars lost three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter tweet?

Speaker 3 (15:44):
At?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Is texta program right here in the Chad Benson Show.
This goes on for only so long and then what, well,
we can't afford to do it anymore. Now, it's not
to say at some point in time that the United
States Postal Service didn't have its place, But what point
in time do we say we're just going to continue

(16:05):
to lose billions of dollars every year? According to some
that's what we should do. You idiots, Oh my lord,

Speaker 9 (17:38):
Son Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
The Democrats are a hot friggin' mess. And I say
that because they are. They're a rudderless ship. They have
no idea what's going on, They have no idea where
to go. They are floundering lack a flounder that has
been taken out of the ocean, just flopping around. Oh flounder,
what are you doing. I'm floundering. Oh my god. They

(18:23):
got nothing happening. But there's a new book out called Abundance.
We're trying to get one or both of them on,
Derek Thompson and Ezra Kleine, and many people think, Hey,
this is this is the path forward for the Democrats.
This is their project twenty twenty five, this is their

(18:43):
their thing that they need to follow because it's not insane.
It's common sense, of which we lack a lot of.
And they're everywhere right now talking about their book. Now.
Bill Maher this weekend had Es Recline on, but he's
before he got into the conversation with him, he wanted

(19:05):
to tell everybody, remind everybody how insane California and the
regulations are.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
California is projected to lose three seats. New York two
also going to lose a seat. Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Illinois,
all blue states. Who's getting these Texas, Florida, Idaho, and Utah.
I mean this looks like game over, you know. And
the reason why people are voting with their feet is
axes and regulation. I did three years with a sign

(19:32):
here that said, how long is it going to take
me to get my solar hooked up?

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Three years?

Speaker 8 (19:36):
This state has almost four hundred thousand regulations. I just
put in a new roof because the fire. I thought, oh,
let's got a roof that's not going to burn up.
Two inspections. Why are you inspecting my roof? It's my
roof because.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Falls on me.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
That's my problem.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Two inspections. Can't just have one inspection? Two inspections continue, sir.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
And we're taxed more than any other state.

Speaker 8 (20:03):
People are leaving these kind of states for places where
they're not led. They feel the heavy breadth of government
on them. It's just it's not that hard for Democrats
to understand this, but they seem to be incapable of
doing anything about.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It because you've put people in power who enjoy the power.
You have decided that Congress stay Congress. Senators, you guys
have nothing. You guys are nothing. You write the laws,
but then enforcement you hand over to agencies, and agencies
have so much power. Four hundred thousand regulations, four hundred thousand.
You wonder why people leave. There's no affordable housing. How

(20:40):
are you going to have affordable housing when you can't build?
And to build is so ridiculous that you can't get
anything done in a timely fashion. You're forcing people to
make decisions that maybe politically they wouldn't want to make,

(21:00):
but they have no choice. They're taxed, they're regulated, they're
ready to leave. And by the way, with the way
that people are moving, the Democrats are in serious trouble
if it keeps moving in this direction that not even
certain states that they normally win will help them, based

(21:23):
on where the seats are going to be, the electoral
college is going to land, and how that's going to change.

Speaker 10 (21:31):
Right, the blue Wall would no longer be enough for
them to win.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
That's how bad it is.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Right, and that's because.

Speaker 10 (21:36):
They are driving people out, working class families out of
the states that they govern because the cost of living
is too high, and the cost of livings tries in
part for regulatory reasons, in part for taxes.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
But the big problem is.

Speaker 10 (21:48):
They just don't have enough of the things people need.
Not enough homes, not enough energy, not a government capable
of delivering.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Because they're not interested in delivering to the people in
the middle. They cater to the poor, and they cater
to the wealthy. The middle means very little, and so
the middle is bouncing, the upper middle is bouncing, and yes,
even the rich is bouncing. They have failed. California is

(22:20):
the perfect example of what failure looks like. You want
to turn the rest of the country into California. Hell
to the freaking no. I was in a discussion with
a young lady over the weekend at the TESLA event.
She was talking about how great California was. I said, well,

(22:40):
how many times you've been there? I've been there once.
I said, okay, well I was born to raise there.
Let me tell you you think life is unsustainable here,
go to California. You couldn't afford a house you make
one hundred and fifty grand a year. You can't afford
a mid level house. Homeless people everywhere, drugs everywhere, crime,

(23:07):
and let's not forget the regulations and insanity. People are
bouncing and going places where they've got freedom. They may
take some of their politics with them, but God bless them.
I hope they leave the insanity of the politics from
whence they came, because you left there for a reason.

Speaker 10 (23:29):
Personally, type of the left is bureaucratic.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
You can't govern.

Speaker 10 (23:33):
If you are this obsessed with process, and you can
see it in the outcome. The places you govern are
not advertisements for your governance.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
You are going to lose. Look Houston and Austin. When
people move there, they build more houses. They just do.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
They build multiples.

Speaker 10 (23:49):
More houses per you know, thousand people who come in
there than La and San Francisco and New York City do.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
True. We've talked about it more than a few occasions.
Why Carls Junior or hard Ease, depending on where you
listened to it, moved everything to Texas and why they
won't build corporate stores in California from ground to shovel
In Texas, six to eight weeks stores open their serving
burgers from the moment you find where you want to

(24:21):
build to the moment you open up your restaurant in
California upwards of two years. Are you fin insane? That
is not a win.

Speaker 10 (24:32):
LA and San Francisco and New York City should take
a page out of Texas's book on this. The problem
with a bunch of the Red States is the vision
of where they want to go with things right. The
fascinating thing to me about Texas is it's building as
much clean energy as it is, even though the politics
are anti clean energy. The Texas governor, the Texas legislature,

(24:52):
they keep putting up bills to make it harder. But
because of the default in Texas is it's easy to build,
and building clean energy is profitable because of the Inflation
Reduction Act and the technology and a bunch of other things.
They're still building a ton of it.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
They are still building a ton of it, and they're
going to continue to do so because it's affordable. The
end of the day, it's affordable, and people will go
where it's affordable. People will go where they have an
opportunity to own, to live, and to have freedoms. If
you're a taker, you want to be in one of
these states. If you're a person who ends up giving

(25:29):
more meaning and by giving more, they take more, they
ask more from you, then you want to get the
hell out of these states. But it's not just about
cheapness of living and things like that. The homeless you've
allowed them to do whatever the hell they want. The
drugs and crime, you've allowed them to do whatever the

(25:51):
hell they want. We can go on and on about this.
These are not advertisements for hey, this is what America
should look like. It's the exact opposite. These are advertisements
of what not to do. So it's a very interesting thing.

(26:11):
We're gonna talk about a little bit more because I
look at this and I sit there because I think
we need as as good as we can too, solid parties,
because there has to be checks and balances. There needs
to be checks and balances. And the reason is simple
because when you give parties no oppositions whatsoever, and in

(26:38):
many cases supermajorities, not only does the minority get crushed,
but so does common sense insanity. And we've seen that,
and so yes do I think eventually in certain states
in particular, that the Democrats and Republicans will screw up.

(27:01):
So bad that it'll a force a change. Yeah, because
they can't help themselves. They can't. There's always somebody who's
willing to take it a little bit further three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 1 (28:53):
They just one to be the fairest of them all.

Speaker 12 (28:57):
Just need use live action. Snow White number one weekend
theater box offices, but with only forty three million dollars
in ticket sales according to studio estimates, it cost over
two hundred and fifty million. Reviews were not strong. Some
talking heads alleged and overly woke production. Disney's, the parent
company of ABC News, Black Bags second in ticket sales,
and Captain America Brave New World third with over four

(29:20):
million each eyear.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think they said they had to make about seven
hundred million dollars to get into the go from the
Red to the Black. That isn't going to happen. This
thing was a disaster from jump. You had Rachel Ziegler
out there over and over again talking about whack of
do stuff, insulting the audience overly woke, got rid of

(29:46):
the little people, the dwarfs, the whatever you want to
call them. It's gonna make everybody feel good. It was
a joke, and finally when it arrived, it died.

Speaker 13 (29:59):
You tell us a little bit about your version of
snow White.

Speaker 14 (30:01):
Yeah, I mean, snow White is the girl you remember,
but she's definitely made for the modern age, and there's
such an emphasis on what it really means to be
the fairest of the mall. And for snow White, it's
coming to terms with finding herself and finding her inner
voice and finding a sense of agency so that she
can be a just ruler and a wonderful queen because

(30:23):
there's another one in town.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Oh yeah, just ruler finding her agency because that's what
it was about. Oh my lord, go oke, go broke
over the weekend we lost a legend, a legend that
was very interesting. He was very complex, He was hilarious

(30:49):
at times. Times he was called antisocial, but man, could
he throw a punch. His career spanned four decades.

Speaker 15 (30:57):
It was known for his grit and perseverance, even when
fighting younger and tougher opponents and greats like Frasier holy
Fields and I'll leave. His popularity and good natured personality
fueled his post retirement mentor as a businessman, and he
made milliates promoting and selling a line of electric and
now iconic grills bearing his name.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
George Foreman was seventy six years old. Oh George named
all his kids George. Remember that Thats the weird thing.
But he'll be remembered for a lot of things, obviously
the grill. For a lot of people didn't see him box.
He was just he was an interesting character. He won
a gold medal. He was in some of the greatest

(31:38):
fights of all time. There was no doubt about that. Obviously,
the the rumble in the jungle was huge.

Speaker 16 (31:46):
Oh right, left George warming what hard?

Speaker 2 (31:56):
And that's where we got yes kids, the rope adope,
Ali said, And so they had this big thing planned
out of what they were going to do, and that
was this guy's big. He's strong, younger than me, it's
fitter than me, right he is. He's a he's a

(32:17):
bad mofo. Let's let him punch himself out. And that's
what happened. Just let him come forward and punch, punch, punch, punch.

Speaker 17 (32:27):
Maybe this is going to be the tactic of Ali,
to let the.

Speaker 18 (32:30):
Man lunch him.

Speaker 19 (32:31):
So vote Ali is stinky right an.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Another stinky right an.

Speaker 20 (32:37):
He worked over the door.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
And that's what happened. And that's where we got the
rope adope from.

Speaker 21 (32:45):
I think Mohammed and Ali and I did something for
the world because people in Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, all
over Africa, Europe, they all stood up at weird hours
of the morning and night to see that fight.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
And what a fight it was. By the way, the
money brought in was so massive, adjusted for inflation, about
seven hundred million dollars through close circuit television and all
the stuff. It was incredible. And Foreman thought this was

(33:23):
just going to be a exhibition. Essentially, he was gonna
whoop his butt, gonna be no big deal. He was
gonna be another person that he, you know, another notch
on his belt, and Foreman realized that after the seventh
round he was exhausted and he hit Ali, and Ali
smiled at him and said, is that all you got,
big George, and he goes. That's when I realized this

(33:44):
was not going to be that at all. Then he retired,
came back ten years later, fought some more. Everybody thought
he was crazy. It's thirty eight at the time, then
finally got another shot against holy Field. Holy Field beat him,
then continued to fight. Then it aged got another shot,
this time against Michael Moore November fifth. I remember watching

(34:08):
it and man, here's an old dude against a young dude.
Twenty year difference essentially between the two. Michael Moore at
the top of his game, forty five year old George Foreman,
who looks like he spends more time snacking at the
grill than working out.

Speaker 22 (34:26):
Again, he's a forty five year old man and the
only man's game.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
But look at that competitive spirit coming on top, great
right hand landing performan.

Speaker 23 (34:35):
He's had a pretty good round here at number ten.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Again, Atlas didn't count this Adlas. Here we go again
with the Atlas. Michael Moore is down goes more on
a right hand and unbelievably coaching right hand shot. It happens,
It happened. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

(35:07):
He's a guy, we said, I said, was it pluffer? Yep,
it happened. It was amazing. Knock Michael Moore out won
the heavyweight championship twenty years between it incredible. Rip Big
George Rip three two three, five, three eight, twenty four

(35:28):
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter, sweet
ats text the program. I love hearing from all of
you right here on the Chad Benson Show, coming up
hour two on this Monday. More from my time out
at Tesla. Went out there. There was a big, big protest.

(35:50):
Was very calm, not saying there wasn't screaming, not saying
there wasn't yelling. But it was very interesting talking to
some people, the ones that would talk, some wouldn't talk.
Somewhere angry at everybody and everything. By the way, there
were some arguments amongst the people who were protesting as well.
Talk a little bit about that. Got a bunch of

(36:10):
other stuff to get to as well. You're missing this show,
we say, shame on. You grab the podcast and remember
tonight we're gonna go live about eight o'clock. You e's
gonna talk about the test of protests. Got some videos
and some other stuff joined us tonight. It is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Immigration still a big deal. The battle between the judge
and the president continues.

Speaker 24 (36:58):
President Trump escalates his few with federal Judge James Boseburg,
calling Boseburg a constitutional disaster on social media. Boseburg has
set a hearing for today to quote get to the
bottom of whether the administration ignored his order to turn
around flights bound for El Salvador carrying Venezuelan immigrants. The
administration argues it supported the alleged gang members under the

(37:20):
Wartime Alien Enemies Act, claiming the planes were already in
international waters when Boseberg made his ruling.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Now, his ruling, by the way, I'd like to point
out to everybody, is not whether or not Trump can
do this. It wasn't the ruling. It was whether or
not these people have been vetted correctly. Trump's bomping it
up to a panel to say, look this guy here
he's overstepping his place.

Speaker 25 (37:45):
A three judge panel of the DC Circuit Appeals Court
will wait the administrations pushed to overturn Judge James Boseberg's
order restraining the president's use of the Alien Enemies Act.
The appeals panel includes appointees of two Republican presidents, including Trump,
as well as an Obaminaman. The administration argues the men
who've been subject to the use of the Enemy's Law
have been thoroughly vetted as members of Trend de Arragua,

(38:06):
but attorneys and relatives say several of those who've been
sent to a Salvador in prison are not members of
the gang.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
And we'll find out what that even means, because are
they going to get them back? Probably not. Is there
going to be a oops. I have no idea what
any of it means at this point in time, because
this battle is going to go on. And remember, these
things were all meant to get to the Supreme Court,
all of them were meant to get to the Supreme

(38:33):
Court as fast as possible. Once I have the ruling,
I know it's way I can go. I'll go from there.
So we're going to find out in the coming days
how long that's going to take. I think Trump will
win this. That being said, I do think there were
mistakes made, because it's government. Government makes mistakes. Same people

(38:59):
out there on the right they're yelling, oh, he did
everything correctly with the same people who are yelling no, no, no.
Biden made a mistake or Obama made a mistake, or
it's there's mistakes made. Will they get rectified? I have
no idea. And on top of that, this weekend, Trump
administration will evoke the legal status of hundreds of thousands

(39:20):
of Latin American and Haitian migrants who under Biden came
here during a sponsorship process, urging them to self support
or face arrest and removal by deportation agents. Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela.
Now Cuba, they're arresting people that show up for their hearings,
which isn't a good look. Cuba used we used to

(39:41):
have a you're escaping tyranny and communism, wet foot, dry foot.
You're here, We're going to give you more leeway, obviously
because of what you escape. Venezuela has been that way
for a while. Haiti obviously a nightmare of Nicaragua. The same.
So they're saying, no, you got to go. The termination

(40:06):
of their work permits and deportation protections under the Immigration
Authority known as parole will take place in late April,
thirty days after March twenty fifth, according to the federal government.
So want to get rid of them.

Speaker 13 (40:24):
Go.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
This is a new sheriff. You may not like it,
it may piss you off, but I want to remind
everybody this didn't happen by accident. This happened because millions
of people walked across and were welcomed into this country
with very little pushback, all the access they wanted, and

(40:48):
a frustration by the American people eventually when they stood
up and said this can't happen. We need to do something.
And this is the reaction that you get. This is
the reaction that you're going to have. And Trump is
saying no more. Everybody's got to go. And if you
want to get super serious about it, I mean, if

(41:11):
you're really serious about it, what do you say. You
go after the employers. You tell all the employers, Hey,
we're going to get rid of you guys that are
here illegally, and employers you are going to be hit

(41:31):
hard with fines and maybe potentially a closure of business
after x amount of times that you were found to
have had people that were here illegally working on your
payroll and you knew it. Well, if you're broke, you
got no hope. You're going to bounce. You'd rather be

(41:54):
broke in your own country than broke here because of these.
So you'd see a lot more self deportations. Now will
they go after that? We'll see. Now you've got to
be able to prove that you hired people illegally if
they gave you documentation and you did all the stuff

(42:15):
you were supposed to. And the reality is, this is
what it ends up being. You know they lied, but
you I mean, there's only so much you can do.
But I think the fear of that, if you're serious
about it, you go after the employers as much as
everybody else. Watch what happens. Now you have to understand
what the repercussions are potentially to the economy, especially in

(42:36):
certain areas. But if your goal is to get everybody
to self deport as fast as possible on top of
catching all the bad guys, then this is what it
looks like. But remember this is all because of the
last four years of Biden, the last four years of Biden,
where people walked here, flew here, came here because he

(43:00):
rang the dinner bell. This is a reaction to that.
And people need to understand that this is a reaction
to what took place or didn't take place with my
Orcis and with Kamala and with the czar and with

(43:21):
Biden and the entire administration. If you think it's an overreaction,
well it's an overreaction to a bad situation that they
created and people were pissed and angry about it. So
we'll see, we'll see what happens. And I doubt they'll
ever go after the employers the way they should if

(43:43):
they're that serious about it, because big business, as we
all know, loves government, absolutely loves government. Meanwhile, Bill Maher
kid Rock.

Speaker 26 (43:54):
Was here a couple of weeks ago and he said,
I want you to meet Trump. He said, I'm going
to take you to the White House. So now we're
going to do that. And like, there will be lots
of people on the left who will be like, how
dare you talk to this man? It's like, thank you.
You know, I'm not playing this game that you mean
girls play where like, Oh, you know what, you can't
sit at my lunch table because I'm just not talking

(44:14):
to you, not talking to you. You lost the election.
Who the do you think you have to talk to
You know, it's one thing if you win it. Yeah,
that's another thing.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
If you lose it. You're talking to people. Have to talk.
I love that you have to talk to people. We
don't do that anymore in this country. We have decided
that talking to quote unquote people of a different belief
is evil and it is wrong. It is brainwashing and
could get you kicked out of the tribe. You don't

(44:44):
want to be kicked out of the tribe. That's the
fear of everybody. Kicked out of the tribe. I'm gonna
get kicked out of the tribe. People an't gonna allow
me in the tribe anymore. I'm not gonna have friends anymore.
But they kicked out of the tribe. Oh my lord,
that's not good. We need to talk to each other.
We do continue, sir.

Speaker 26 (45:01):
And I see Gavin Newsom is doing this now. He's
changed his tune. He's got a podcast and he the
first guest was Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I thought that was you know, I thought that was brilliant.

Speaker 26 (45:11):
You have to mention me. I'm noticing what Bill does,
talks to both sides, like is left leaning but not
afraid to criticize the people on his team, like we
got to get more of this going.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Absolutely, And that's why this weekend when I went out,
I spoke to the protesters of TESLA, of Trump, of immigration,
of all of the stuff. I spoke to them because
I wanted to know what they had to say. Now, Unfortunately,
because you're sitting there trying to have a conversation with somebody,

(45:49):
there's always a thousand people screaming and yelling, and I
could try to get as much as possible, but sometimes
there was a lot of f bombs dropped in the background,
and I just can't get rid of all that stuff.
But there were some great conversations was able to have.
This guy, in particular, was solid individual who's upset, who's
frustrated about what he sees going on, said I was
very apathetic about politics, and I think I needed to

(46:12):
take a stand. But then he was also very open
about how frustrated is about the way that we treat
each other.

Speaker 13 (46:17):
Why are we so hateful towards each other. We let
people be demonized. First it was the border people, then
it was the trans Then it's the gays, Now it's
the veterans. Now it's the.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Social security to older people.

Speaker 13 (46:28):
How did we get here? When does it stop? When
did they stop coming? For because they start them it
starts slow? Then how are we all protected? Okay, as
soon as you speak out against the regime, you're in trouble.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
And he and I went back and forth about the
trans thing, and he agrees that you got to stay
out of the you know that that shouldn't be debated,
the sports and stuff that's ridiculously you know. But he
also realizes that he lives in a bubble and he
wanted to come out of it. And we got into
talking about social media algorithm in particular.

Speaker 13 (47:00):
Correct because algorithms d hate. Hate drives clicks and views.
So it makes sense business wise right to write algorithms
to where people get online and they get in their
echo chambers. I can pull up on Twitter account and
it's going to be what I want to see. You
can pull up Twitter account, it's gona be what you
want to see. The comments are gonna be what you
want and what I want we don't have conflicting ideas.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
We don't talk anymore. We need information on affirmation.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Correct, correct.

Speaker 13 (47:23):
We need to speak to each other again. We need
to get back to where when we have a problem,
the difference, we talk to each other. We come to
an understanding.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
No one's ever gonna get exactly what they want. Yeah,
for beauty of compromise. Yeah. Again, there was a lot
of that. We had good conversations. There were some people
out there that were, you know, get away from me.
Who are you? Who you with? You're just there's one
lady and she was just going up and down when
I was talking to anybody, interrupting every conversation that I

(47:53):
was having with somebody. And I had several people say,
you know what, I listened to this guy locally. I
like him. You can leave me alone now, Well he's now,
Oh no he's not. She's never heard me, she's never
listened to me. But in her mind I was bad,
which you know, again, we're not having conversations. And that
was at the Tesla dealership this weekend, and like say,

(48:15):
very good conversations for the most part. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three Atch dbentson shows, your Twitter,

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

Speaker 2 (49:49):
So Saturday, Hi got up, got myself ready, headed off
to a Tesla protest and it was interesting. I you know,
we talked about it earlier. I enjoyed the opportunity to
talk to some people. There was a lot of screaming,

(50:10):
there was a lot of chanting. There were a lot
of people that were As I said earlier, there's a
lot of people out there that are scared. They're scared,
they feel like they've got no control. They're watching the
government that they think is being torn apart and being
torn asunder and destroyed. And that's not true. It's not now.

(50:35):
Are things changing, Yes, and people don't like change, especially
change that is fast, and that was evident. There was
also a lot of people out there to troll and
it's interesting to see, you know, So this guy came
up to this young girl and got in her face.
He's got the Maga hat on and the whole nine yards.
He's up in her face. He said, do you like
trans surgeries for whatever? And this is what she told

(50:59):
me afterwards, because she would have none of it. He's videoing.
I don't want to be a part of that. Who
you want to talk to him? Yeah? Why?

Speaker 27 (51:07):
Because people like him they're too far gone. They want
to start an argument.

Speaker 18 (51:12):
I'm not here for that.

Speaker 11 (51:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (51:14):
I gets people who are within reach and he is not.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
He came over.

Speaker 24 (51:18):
He is combative and rude.

Speaker 27 (51:20):
So when I didn't want to talk to about him,
he said, so you'd rather our money go to trans
surgeries in foreign countries. No, I would rather our social
security money go to our seniors who earned it.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
We had a nice talk and I played some of
that stuff earlier and I'll play something a little bit later,
but that there was a lot of that. There was
a lot of people trying to gotcha on both sides,
and there was some look he lose. It was an
interesting again. There was no violence, there was no chaos.
There was some screaming here and there there was some
people that were flipping each other off. But it was
an exercise in our freedom of speech, which is a

(51:55):
wonderful thing. But the amount of people that also came
out there to try to get the clicks and the
likes in the whole nine yards by just stating the
absurd three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter tweet at
us text the program. Also check out our Facebook as
well as our YouTube. Tonight we're going to play some

(52:17):
of these videos for you, and again you could check
out our YouTube at Chad Benson Show on YouTube, like
and subscribe. We appreciate it helps out the Chad Benson
Show across across the board. Just that that's what they
were interested in. And maybe, you know, I was telling her,
maybe that's my problem when it comes to certain things,
is I don't understand. I want to have a conversation

(52:38):
with people. I want to give everybody a chance to have,
you know, a conversation and pick their minds about what
it is they're feeling. And so many people out there
they just want the clicks and the likes, and you know,
let's let's hunt for a whackado. It was just an
interesting thing again this weekend. I went out there because
I want to have conversations. Some people didn't. There were

(52:59):
some people there that were you know, you're evil, You're bad,
even if you're asking questions that are not leading questions,
Why you pissed? Why are you so angry? What are
you scared of? Didn't matter. They were just they were
pissed and angry. And it's there was a lot of
people out there that were straight out of central casting.
I'll say that, no doubt about that. Meanwhile, in New Mexico.

Speaker 28 (53:21):
At this point, police arresting four suspects. Now all four
of them at this point are being charged with murder,
and there's a possibility for more added charges. And of
course all of this as Las Crus's police are still investigating,
and they're still looking into other active leads.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Yeah, there was a shooting. Three dead, one of the kids,
and I say kids. So there's a twenty year old,
he's the oldest of the bunch, two seventy year olds,
and now a fifteen year old charged with three counts
of homicide. How did this happen when everybody screams and
yails guns or this, that and the other. A bunch
of young men who think the only way that you

(53:58):
can settle the dispute, because that's what it was, is
by brandishing weapons and shooting at each other. And that's
what happened. What do you bet most of these young
men had no man around. What do you bet about that? Oh,
I'd say it's highly likely if you missing the show
grabbed the podcast Chad Benson.

Speaker 9 (54:15):
Show, Sun, Chad Benson Shoe.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
My uncle and I were looking at the Boston Dynamics
new robot that is eerily human, moves like human, crawls
like human, runs like human creepy, can do a lot
of stuff that humans can't do, which gets back to
the oh, my god, robots AI? What the hell is
going to change in the future? Are we gonna have jobs?
So Dan Dumont, who is an AI professional, was on

(55:04):
News Nation earlier talking about it because he actually asked about, Hey,
what should my kids do in the future, What job
or jobs are going to be out there? What industries
that are going to be semi untouched by AI?

Speaker 17 (55:19):
Honestly, if there was really just a thought experiment, after
twenty years in tech, I was curious how AI would
respond to my question and was surprised me was kind
of how quickly AI pushed it back, and it really
just made me reflect on how dramatically our industry is
changing with the rise of AI.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
And that question was what the hell should my kids do?
And things like trades. Baby, get him in trades, Baby,
get him in trades. I don't think it said baby,
but that had been funny if you did.

Speaker 17 (55:48):
You know, I think trades like carpentry, electrical plumbing.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
It's actually funny.

Speaker 17 (55:54):
We're actually looking to renovate our house and I've got
contractors in here left and right, maybe like your forest
so far, And you know, I think their jobs are
more insulated to AI, don't. I don't see a AI
coming in and having taken over a carpenter job or
a contractor's job anytime soon. So you know, I'm not

(56:14):
trying to push my children into any sort of direction.
I think, you know, we need to focus on fostering
creativity and you know, just kind of sort of let
them guide their own paths and whatever they're sort of
interested in. But yeah, I do think the trades are
less vulnerable to the AI sort of gold.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Rush, and it is a gold rush. And I tell
you guys that all the time. When you use it
in conjunction with what you do, you were going to
find out how much further and faster you can go. Here,
as we talk about all this stuff with DOGE understand
that AI can move into a lot of these things
and replace many of these workers and many of these functions,

(56:55):
which of course freaks people out there. But because I've said,
oh my god, these people can lose their jobs, well
you're upset about that, but you're not upset that other
places are losing their jobs and being replaced by AI,
or being replaced by technology or any of those things.
And if you think the trades are going to be untouched,
you're also wrong. They're just going to have an opportunity

(57:16):
to have somewhat of a partnership with AI, at least
at first. Because do I think eventually there's going to
be something that is going to come and help when
it comes to homes or this, that and the other.
Oh yeah, no doubt about that. But the impact and
the way that AI can help now is going to
be incredible.

Speaker 17 (57:34):
A skilled electrician or a plumber really just needs to
understand complex systems, and you know, solve like novel problems.
So they need to have the same cognitive cognitive skills
that we have in our white collar profession.

Speaker 25 (57:47):
But they'll almost be using.

Speaker 17 (57:48):
You know, they'll be using AI tools and automation programming
interfaces and it will evolve just like you know when
you hand a when you hit a carpenter out power
tool that was never that was a thing a long
time ago. So just as the software engineering role will
evolve as we'll trade opportunities.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
And my uncle and I have already seen it with
several where they so AI will be able to as
you put things onto a truck, like say a plumbing truck,
AI as you scan it to put it on there,
so you know everything you have on there. Now you're
going to a place where they'll give you a call.
Call is to missus Johnson at one two three Main Street,

(58:29):
blah blah blah. So head over there. She's got a
you know, something's wrong with her faucet, it's leaking something
like that. It will be able to tell you, Okay,
this is the faucet that you know if you've worked
there before, this is the faucet they put in da Dad,
You're you're gonna be able to have a really like
it's like having X rays for a doctor to look

(58:50):
up and say, all right, so I kind of get
where I'm going here and be able to roll in
there with the things you need. Because one of the
things that frustrates a lot of people is especially plumbers
or electricians, is you don't have the parts with you
or you don't know what it is. Well, now you're
going to get a snapshot of what it is and
it'll tell you hey before you go there. Based on

(59:10):
what we see, this is what could be the issue.
You don't have this part, you should stop and pick
this part up and go from there. So this is
going to be handy. Is it going to be perfect? No,
but it's going to get better in a very fast
fast way. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chadmentton Show is your Twitter tweet
at as text to program. Meanwhile, still fighting over the

(59:32):
Department of Education, which still hasn't gone anywhere. I just
want to tell everybody that all of these things that
are being done, whether it's immigration, whether it's USAID, whether
it's the Department of Education, today it's going to be
the United States Postal Service. All of these things that
are being done, these things have to still be done
through Congress. Now, the immigration side of stuff, as we've

(59:54):
smoked about. I think he's going to win that because
that is one of the things that really fall into
the purview of what the president has a right to do.
But all these other ones, it's Congress. Congress has to
be the fixer in all of these things, and they
have to be the ones that are going to stand
up and try to get something done our country.

Speaker 29 (01:00:15):
I think those that are qualified to do things should
do them. I don't think one size fits all. I
don't think all kids or adults should be graded at
the same level. We need to have merit because that
is how we progress. Everybody should have the same opportunity.
Let's and let's provide the tools, especially in education. Let's
provide the tools in education to all, but not on

(01:00:37):
you know, on a formula. Let's make sure that merit
is the real driver of where we need to be.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Absolutely and I love that, and we need more of that,
and we can't. You know, you're a teacher in a
low income area where you've got thirty kids on average,
of which seventy percent don't speaking and out of those
seventy percent of kids that don't speak English, there's three

(01:01:04):
or four different languages they speak. Your test scores are
probably going to be lower. Even if you improve, they're
still going to be lower because you're fighting a different
fight than somebody who's in a school that is doing
really well, who's got all English speakers, who they've got money.
So we have to grade in a certain way. Absolutely,
At the same time, schools that are in inner cities

(01:01:25):
in particular, that are failing in a major way, we
should not hamstring these kids by making them and forcing
them to stay in schools that are failing. We must
get them out of failing schools and into schools where
they've got an opportunity to thrive. We must look at

(01:01:47):
things differently, and that includes teaching in a different way
as well, because I think most people recognize that we
have a massive problem here the amount of money we spend.
No matter how much we spend, it doesn't seem to
change the out come, and in many cases the outcome
is going in the wrong direction. So it's time to rethink.
And just like we were talking about with the rise

(01:02:09):
of trades and people saying I don't want to go
to college because two damn expensive and much of what
I would be interested in may be replaced by AI
one day. But an opportunity to go somewhere earn while
I learned and have a career for life, I'm interested
in that, and we need to start looking at things

(01:02:29):
like that. Ooh really, yes, I say really. Meanwhile, in Ireland.

Speaker 30 (01:02:33):
I question why the first time in American history a
president has won every swing state and is also best
friends and his largest donor was a man who owns
and runs the Internet. So I would hope that that
would be investigated and that we would see whether or
not it was an anomaly or something else. That happened
on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling

(01:02:56):
up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump
was not able to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
That was a lie. She didn't phillip stadiums. You guys
all recognize that she didn't phillip stadiums. She had to
spend millions of dollars to get stars on her stage,
to show up in many places, and it was against
Trump rather than for Trump. People are still dissillusioned by

(01:03:26):
the Democrats, which we've talked about and we'll talk about
again next hour, and this whole thought process that somehow Elon,
let's not forget, well, Elon spent a lot of money.
You know, I'll spend a lot of money billionaires on Democrats.
You don't believe me.

Speaker 22 (01:03:42):
For every one billionaire that backed President Trump, Kamala Harris
had two nine of the ten richest counties in America
are represented by Democrats. Sixty five percent of Americans making
over five hundred thousand dollars a year today are crats.
Seventy five percent of hedge fund managers who make political

(01:04:05):
donations donate too Democrats, and ninety five percent of political
donations from the top three management consulting firms go to Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
So if you think it's only because of Elon's money,
we're going to talk about this more next hour. But
you're wrong because Democrats are failing in every way, shape
or form. They have no leadership. They're a rudderless ship.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Fronting with scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 31 (01:05:56):
Same your growing number of conservative influencers are getting targeted
by swatters. There have been at least a dozen incidents
in recent days of bogus calls that draw police and
first responders to the target's home, including the home of
Aaron Durham in North Carolina. She opened the door late
at night to armed officers.

Speaker 32 (01:06:16):
When I walked up to the door, he was pointing
a gun at me, you know, and obviously like immediately
stopped when he saw me. But it was a lot
of confusion, a lot of fear. I felt like I
was going to pass out. Most of the time that
they are in the house.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
It was crazy. And it's happening more and more and
more and more, and eventually somebody is going to get killed.
It is going to happen. Something bad is going to
take place, and somebody's going to react in a way
because it's a tense situation where you're going there as

(01:06:53):
an officer thinking something horrific is happening, a violent crime.
You're coming in full guns of blazing because you think
you're there to stop something, and lo and behold, what happens?
There's nothing, because it's not meant for anything other than
to scare, intimidate, and to have a laugh with and say, Haha,
you guys are idiots over there, conservatives. But what happens

(01:07:16):
when something goes south.

Speaker 33 (01:07:18):
So what we've seen is over the past two weeks
at least a dozen influencers have been targeted in these sweatings.
And not just sweatings, they're also getting things like bogus
pizza deliveries. Now, what we found commonality amongst all of
these influencers is almost all of them have some sort
of following on X, Almost all of them are pro Trump,
many of them have interacted with actually Elon Musk. It's

(01:07:38):
swatting is very dangerous and it can be deadly. This
you know, these callers will call in with bogus calls
of people being shot, of a home invasion, of holding
people hostage. It causes a huge response from police and
emergency services, which draws them away from other actual emergencies.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
And apparently the pizza thing is a big tell. So
if you're a conservative who's got a decent amount of
followers or whatever, and you know, you think you could
be in a position like this, And by the way,
it doesn't have to be somebody that is nationally known.
It's reading about a guy in Myrtle Beach who got
swatted the other day because I guess people thought it

(01:08:16):
was gonna be a funny thing to do. And so
what ends up happening in if it's not night night
night nighttime, like where everybody's sleeping, is you knock at
the door. It's a pizza delivery of which you didn't order,
but it's your name and everything. That's when you know
there's a good chance that you're going to get swatted,

(01:08:39):
which is ridiculous. So if you are any kind of
person who may be an influencer and you get that
call and there's a knock at the door and it's pizza,
the reason they do that is because they want to
make sure that you are home.

Speaker 33 (01:08:53):
And what's really notable is a lot of these influencers
are armed. They carry guns, and so so many of
them are saying this could have turned really bad because
I thought somebody was robbing my home.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
There were no sirens, no lights, no announcement, nothing, and
he's trying the door handle and I am crouched inside armed.
I'm thinking, if that man comes through my door, I'm
going to light him up. Because you're just thinking somebody's
here to murder me in my Whye.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Yeah, I mean it's insane. It is absolutely safe. But
this is what's happening because we are so have lost
the plot and people think it's hilarious. Oh yeah, that'll
be great. This isn't like ordering fifteen pieces for people
you don't know. This is much worse, and like I say,
somebody's going to pay the price.

Speaker 33 (01:09:41):
But what makes this hard to investigate is the technology
that these people use with the swatting. They spoof their
phone numbers, a lot of them even use artificial intelligence
to spoof the voices. But there have been prosecutions on
this and this is a very dangerous game that people
are playing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Very dangerous, and somebody will eventually get hurt or get killed.
It's like the same thing I keep saying about Tesla.
Somebody's gonna f around and find out. They're gonna go
up to a Tesla truck and they're gonna try to
do something stupid, and there's gonna be somebody then who's
on high alert, who is now over being yelled at,

(01:10:19):
who's over being attacked, who's over having their vehicle flipped
off and spit on, and worried, And then somebody's gonna
do something and they're gonna f around and they're going
to find out, and that is going to be a nightmare.
But can you blame people? No, you can't. This is

(01:10:41):
where we're at. We're driven by algorithms and insanity, and
we feed those algorithms by the way we feed them.
We feed the ridiculousness. But whether it's a swatting incident
or an incident with a vehicle, because we've seen a

(01:11:01):
lot of them, people doing stupid things, crossing the street
to spit on a vehicle, flipping off a car, throwing things,
keying it, I mean, they're gonna do something stupid and
then what happens, well, then you're gonna find out, and
you can't blame somebody. I mean, look if I'm in

(01:11:23):
my car and I've got my family with me, and
somebody comes up and punches at the car, kicks at
the car, does something like that. I don't know who
you are, I don't know what you're there for, but
I'm not gonna let it stand. I'm gonna try to
get away. But if you continue, well, then there's gonna
be serious issues, serious issues. And everybody understands that. I

(01:11:46):
hope they probably don't. They probably think, oh, this will
be good, This'll be good for clicks and likes, whether
it's swatting or this. We've lost the plot and it's
gonna get worse before it gets back. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's Show. Is your
Twitter tweet at us text the program. I do love

(01:12:09):
hearing from all of you right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up our number three, we've got a
little what's trending? What's going on out there? There's some
crazy stuff going on out there, yes, and there's some
normal stuff going on out there. I know it's crazy
to think that there's normal stuff, but there is. We're

(01:12:31):
going to discuss that more on my visit to Tesla
showroom this weekend as there was a decent size two
hour protest, very peaceful, talk about that. Got some audio
from that, and again tonight we're gonna go live right
around eight o'clock Eastern. So on our YouTube, our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

(01:12:53):
you'll be able to check out the live and I
got some videos some stuff from this weekend as well,
so make sure you check it out. If you missed
any show the podcast Chad Benson check.

Speaker 11 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
So this weekend I ventured out of my house, went
to a Tesla protest. Heck no, we won't go and
I got a lot of audio, and tonight I'm going
to be doing my live right around eight o'clock Eastern

(01:13:52):
and we can play a lot more of the audio.
Part of the reason is there's only so much I
can bleep out, and because I'm having a conversation with
some people and behind them people are screaming, yelling if this,
if that, So it's while you can faintly hear it,
I'm not this is the radio. We don't do that
on radio. So tonight you're gonna be able to see

(01:14:15):
a lot of the interviews and stuff, and it was interesting.
I go and I talk to everybody. I think it's
important that we talk to everybody. I think it's important
that we have conversations with people who we disagree with
politically or don't see eye to eye with politically, because
I don't think we do that enough, and in today's
world it's important. It is. I think it's very important.
But there were people out there that thought they were

(01:14:36):
looking for the gotcha moment, is what they thought. Everybody
was there because there were a lot of people out
there on the other side of the support of Elon.
They were looking to get gotcha moments with the protesters,
and some of the protesters had their influencer type people
who were trying to get the maga folk to say

(01:14:57):
something stupid to get their gotcha moment, because that's the
world we live in now. But one lady, so locally
people know who I am, and I had conversations with
more than several people, but this one lady would not
give up the ghost. She just I will not talk
to you. I want to see your badge. I'm not.
I'm like, look, I'll show you what radio station I'm on.

(01:15:18):
But I don't have a badge for that. And and
some of the people I was talking to who listen
to me, say, look, he's fine, just leave him alone.
We're having a conversation. She was obnoxious.

Speaker 34 (01:15:27):
Okay, Nazis, Okay, Nazis.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Geez Nazi.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
So you think he's a Nazi? Who I don't know?
You said, no Kings, no Nazi. I don't want to
know who the Nazis? Nazis? Who's the Nazis?

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Okay, I'm not talking to you. Are you a press?
Are you from the press?

Speaker 26 (01:15:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
Yeah, let me see your badge, so I will talk
to the press. I'm not talking to you.

Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
Do you have Do you have a badge?

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
I want to bring it. Do you want me to
show you a picture of where I'm from so that
way you can see we don't Okay, Then there we go.
There's solid individual there. I'm not going to talk to
you because you could be somebody who's trying to help me.
It's okay, And that was a lot of that. I
was like trying to show her, Look, this is who
I am. These people know who I am. We've had
several conversations. Nobody needs to you know. But she followed me.

(01:16:16):
It's several times trying to in the middle of interviews,
screaming and yelling at me, which I thought was very childish,
but whatever, you know, this is what you get. A
lot of people that are ran into had frustration with
both sides of the aisle, anger at both sides of

(01:16:37):
the aisle, pissed off at both sides of the aisle,
feel that both sides of the aisle are corrupt, both
sides of the aisle are in it for themselves, that
the parties are one and the same. And I got
a lot of this.

Speaker 20 (01:16:50):
I don't know why. You don't why other people don't
have any common sense and see through all the lives
that are happening and if there's something good, yay, But
most of it has not.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
No, I mean, you know, and it's funny. I'm frustrated
with both parties because I look around. I think common
sense as abandoned, not just the parties, but it's left everybody.

Speaker 20 (01:17:10):
Yes, it's left the building, and it's just counting on
us people to get things back together. And it might
be I mean, I don't think it's just get rid
of the people that are dictating now and throwing people
out of government and treating people so incredibly and shipping
them out of the country without being duly processed. It's

(01:17:31):
not right, that's not fair, that's not and to be
hated by all the countries overseas, that's not who we are.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
This lady was nice. We had a nice conversation. We
went back and forth about you know, Europe, and you know,
who cares whether or not they like us. I mean,
that's just they like us, right, they may not like
Trump whatever. By the way, they don't all hate Trump.
I think there's this thought process that everybody hates us.
A lot of people say stuff in front of the camera.

(01:18:01):
They're behind the camera, they're like, yeah, this is stupid.
We don't dislike him. But it was tough because not
only was that one lady walking around just going you,
who are you? Who are you? What are you doing here?
You also had every time you'd have a conversation sometimes
with people, the conversation would be interrupted by f bombs
not directed at you, but directed by one of the

(01:18:25):
cyber trucks that drove by, or just as part of
a chant. So trying to like figure out did they
say that here. It's a tough thing. This lady, young lady,
very nice. By the way. She's if you were to
go and say, all right, I need somebody straight out
of central casting for the progressive wing of it, it

(01:18:46):
was this young lady. Her name was Heather. She very nice,
she was, and she gave me a lot of time.
We chatted, we laughed about stuff. There were some commonalities
across everything, but she is, you know, like you would
look and say, this is the aggressive playbook, which is
if everybody, everybody sucks, especially on the right. But there

(01:19:07):
was also a lot of things that we agreed with
as well. But this was a perfect example of where
a lot of this stuff went with some of these
people who didn't have answers to some regular questions like well,
what would you do if you had to cut a
bunch of stuff? It's all about feelings, she'll notice. But
why what's your name? Way out here, Heather?

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Because of Musk Trump, Maga, racism. We're all here illegally originally,
so the discrimination humanitarians.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Let's go, So what would you like to see happen?
What's your ultimate goal?

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
Safety and security for my vents, for my disabled, for
my elderly. When you are sixty, you should be able
to retire and not have to worry about shit. And
all of that's trying to be taken up by Musk,
Trump and his whole sucking crew.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
A lot of that, a lot of that, and a
lot of the you know, hey, we stole this land,
and I'm like, I told one person, well, why don't
you just give it back? Well, it's not mine to
give back. Well whose is it? Well somebody else's Well no,
ill just give it back. I mean, I hear you
guys always talking about everybody's you know, wants to acknowledge
such and such and whatnot. I just give it all
back because they don't have anything. Again, this is not

(01:20:23):
about being mean or anything. It's just having a conversation.
But I think a lot of them think, well, I've
got to say these things. That's what I come to
the realization that they're saying certain things because they feel
they have to. Well, wasn't all about There was some
obviously you heard about immigration. There was some you heard
about Elon Musk. There was some who were just you know,

(01:20:45):
just out there to lookilu. There were some that were
counter protesters. There was some there for the LGBTQ plus community.
There were some there who were constitutional conservatives. I feel
like this was too much. The one thing I took
away from this was the fear. A lot of people
are scared. They see things changing, they see things moving

(01:21:10):
in a direction that they feel they have no control over.
And because of that, there's this fear factor of I
can't stop it. These things are coming in their own
mind and the world that they're living in, this fear
of this echo chamber. They're being told that everything's gonna
go away from them and it's all going to disappear,

(01:21:31):
and they can't fix it, and it's and it's gonna
be detrimental to them. And as I tried to have
a conversation with some of them about that that's not true,
it didn't matter because in their mind, they'd built up
this thought of it's over right, it's over. We can't
we can't fix any of this. It's it's over that.

(01:21:51):
You know, Trump and them are going to dismantle everything.
We're gonna have nothing left there. We're gonna have no
SOULI security, We're gonna have nothing. It's it's a tough
thing because those people have gone to the world of affirmation.
As far as you know, the information they're getting is
affirming their belief, and their belief is that everything is

(01:22:12):
evil and bad on the right and that it can't
be stopped. A lot of that, you know, with the
SOULI security, I talked to a lot of there was
a lot of older people there and that was a
big fear their SOLI security was going to go away,
and that they paid into it, they deserve it. And
I said, I totally get that. That being said, is

(01:22:36):
it fair that we waste all this money and we
lie to the American people about social security being here
and being solvent and doing nothing about it. And they
didn't really know what to do with that. But I
think that one big takeaway was when it came from
their argument was a lot of it was it feels cruel.

(01:23:00):
The way that they're doing things feels cruel. The way
that they're going about their way of quote unquote dismantling
government feels cruel. It feels like there's no empathy, there's
nothing there. We should have more empathy, we should have
more caring, we should more this, more that, And I'm like,
that's not the way the world works. I mean, you
guys don't care about the people who are getting laid

(01:23:22):
off elsewhere. You guys don't care about well, I do
care about well, yeah, but you're not out there protesting.
You're not out they're protesting these things. You're not out
there protesting this. And there was a lot of that,
kind of like this sense of well, yeah, you know,
these people have sacrifice for us. I'm like, they haven't.
They get paid really, really well, better than you do.

(01:23:45):
They get paid well and with very little accountability. And
you see them out there talking about, hey, we've sacrificed
for you, we're civil servants. In reality, they all get
paid pretty damn good. And the courts are going to
decide this. Well, the courts are in the pocket of Trump. Well,
he says, they're in the pocket of the Uni Party.

(01:24:08):
It's good to have a conversation, but it's not going
to be solved until we figure out how to actually
have real conversations and also how to have an understanding
that what both sides are saying to us is partial truth,
and that both of them are in it to win,

(01:24:28):
and they both feel like they win all the time.
They're not. It's a competition for America and politicians. It's
not a situation where politicians are working for us because
we sent them there because we have other things to do,
and they're doing their best to make sure that America wins. No,

(01:24:49):
it's about politicians verse Americans, and it's frustrating. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
to Twitter, Instagram, all the other things we're which gold love,
Birch gold. Gold is something that everybody should have a
piece of. Why is that, you say, because be foolish
not to. It's about going out and making sure that

(01:30:51):
beautiful Monday. Don't you go anywhere if youre missing these
show we always say, shame on. You've read the podcast Chad.

Speaker 9 (01:30:56):
Benson, check Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Is this the new leader of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 19 (01:31:25):
This isn't just about Republicans. We need a Democratic Party
that fights harder for us too. I want you to
look at every level of office around and support brawlers
who fight, because those are the ones who can actually
win against Republicans.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
Tell you what, she ain't lying. You need brawlers, She
ain't lying. You need some stuff out there that can
help change the way that people look at the Democrat Party,
which is quite frankly a joke. They are completely lost,
a hot friggin mess. One of the big things you're
gonna do is push for what single pair. Bernie's all

(01:32:08):
about it.

Speaker 38 (01:32:09):
And everybody knows there is something wrong when we are
the only major country on Earth not to guarantee healthcare
to all people. So Alexandria and I and others are
gonna work with you to finally do what should have
been done decades ago, pass a Medicare for all single
payer program.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
Raw people excited by the way, how does that work out?
Let's ask a Canadian who may have a brain tumor.

Speaker 18 (01:32:37):
Today on how fucked is Canadian healthcare? I need an
MRI to see if I have a fucking brain tumor,
and go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:32:45):
Guess when it is.

Speaker 18 (01:32:46):
Go ahead? Guess it's in twenty twenty six, twenty twenty six.

Speaker 16 (01:32:52):
My MRI to see if I have a brain tumor.

Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
Is in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
It's March twenty twenty five right now.

Speaker 18 (01:32:57):
And if you thought this was bad, it's actually worth
a new thought because the appointment where we decided that
I need this MRI was in December of last year,
so it's not like it's ten months from now.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
It's thirteen months.

Speaker 16 (01:33:10):
It's a thirteen month wait to see if I have
a brain tumor. At first, I just thought this was
a mistake because having an MRI every year is like
a monitoring timeline, Like I already have an MRI every
year for my spine tumor, which is why we think
maybe I have a brain tumor too. So I was like, hey,
they just made a mistake and scheduled this on a
monitoring timeline.

Speaker 18 (01:33:27):
But no. I called and the clinic was like, yeah,
the doctor actually requested that you have it earlier. But
this is the next spot we have. We're seeing about
thirteen months where these brain and spine ris cool, cool, cool,
cool Canada, where healthcare is free, but only if you
can afford to wait, you.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
Guys, looking forward to that. I saw a piece today.
I should have grabbed it but I've got so much stuff.
They were opening up a new like general practitioner in
like Ontario, and the line for people just to try

(01:34:08):
to sign up and get in to see somebody was huge,
and people like, this is not what this is supposed
to be. Well, it's what it is. It's what it is. Remember,
free isn't as free as you think. And you also
in some ways get what you pay for. Well, Chad,
we're paying for it out of our taxes among other things.

(01:34:28):
But you and many other people thinking well it's free,
it's not free healthcare. It's expensive healthcare for what you get,
which is not what you want. And we have a
problem with healthcare that we must fix make it more competitive.
But that being said, would you wait thirteen months to

(01:34:50):
fight out if you had a brain tumor? Remember when
you we said we thought you had a brain tumor, Well,
come to fight out. You did. Now, if we would
have caught it right then we could have fixed it.
But thirteen months later, you know what happens, The same
thing that happens in a lot of places. People who
are well to do will go and they will get

(01:35:11):
private healthcare. They'll work around the system that everybody else
is stuck in and you'll see the care difference. Really,
the golf will get much larger, and all of a sudden,
while everybody's covered, they're stuck and the people that can
do and lo and behold, they've got better. And then

(01:35:36):
everybody's gonna be like, ah, the rich are bad, which
is what the Brits do, which I found very interesting.
I want you check this out. This is very interesting
TikTok about the wealthy, and we here in our country
are inherently mistrustful of government. In Europe and other places,

(01:35:59):
they make it about the rich. Now we've got those
people that inherently have a disdain for the wealthy. We
see them, Nobody should have X amount of dollars, nobody
should have this much, nobody should have that much, blah blah.
We see some of those people, which by the way,
only the far left really complains about those. The average
person who's even a Democrats like I don't care that

(01:36:20):
people are well. They has won my opportunity as well.
But what I've been saying is for quite a while
they are trying to turn so much of the issues
that we see in this country into class warfare rather
than we have a distrust of government, and let's again
be honest. We our nation started because of a distrust

(01:36:43):
of government.

Speaker 23 (01:36:43):
In the US, they have a very different view. Their
cultural memory is that their anti government. They want limited government.
In twenty twenty three, there was this song that came
out called Richmond North of Richmond, and it was the
number one song in America, and the lyrics of the
song basically said, people in Washington do not care about
working people. They are taxing everything we touch. You can't

(01:37:06):
earn money, They depreciate the dollar. They tax, tax, tax, tax, tax,
and they want to control our lives. Those are the
lyrics of the songs controlling our lives and taxing us.

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
You guys remember that song? Or we got the.

Speaker 8 (01:37:18):
Folks in the street ain't got nothing, the heat and
the old me milking welfare. God, every five foot three.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
And three hundred pounds of taxes, I'm not pay your
pains and phone rounds.

Speaker 14 (01:37:33):
Don't remember putting themselves six feet in the ground.

Speaker 32 (01:37:37):
As all this damn country does is keep on kicking
them down.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Lord, here's a damn shame. It's a great song and
very apropos We still have a dis and the right
in particular, has a distrust of government. I mean you
see it everything for the Epstein files to JFK, to
R to MLK, to UFOs to COVID, all of that.

(01:38:04):
People have a healthy and we should have a healthy
skepticism because government, as we have found out in many occasions,
has completely lied to us. Europe makes it about the wealthy.
We make it about the government. But the Democrats who
do everything they can to make it about the wealthy
and turn it into a class warfare.

Speaker 23 (01:38:24):
The American reaction to this is who's to blame government?
So we want smaller government. We want a Department of
Government efficiency to come in. We want someone as a
wrecking law who will come in and smash government. The
British instinct is hate the rich. It must be the
richest for so when we look for all of the
Western countries that implemented lower economic freedoms, created more poverty,

(01:38:49):
less affluence, and more disruption to their economies. So both
US and UK for example, and Australia as well, but
both sides of the pond want someone to blame. It's
just that the Americans blame government when we blame.

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
The rich, which is true. Crony capitalism sucks. We all
can agree on that. And let's be one hundred percent honest.
I'm not a fan of crony capitalism. I wish that
everybody who went into government did it for these altruistic
reasons where they're going in there to give and to
do these things. Hey, they don't they go there because
we've got professional politicians. That was not what our founding

(01:39:24):
fathers were dreaming of, were to have professional politicians. But
that's what we have. But then you have the left,
which is lost their way. They've got nothing going for
them in a right way. And they talk about the
fact that they're all about the middle class when they're not.
They don't care about the middle class. They care about
the subservient group of poor and poverty stricken and being

(01:39:48):
a hero to them, but never really fixing anything and
complaining for the middle class, but yet at the same
time supporting the wealth class more than anybody else. Again,
if you don't believe that, here's some numbers.

Speaker 22 (01:40:05):
For every one billionaire that backed President Trump, Kamala Harris
head two. Nine of the ten richest counties in America
are represented by Democrats. Sixty five percent of Americans making
over five hundred thousand dollars a year today are Democrats.
Seventy five percent of hedge fund managers who make political

(01:40:27):
donations donate to Democrats, and ninety five percent of political
donations from the top three management consulting firms go to Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
Democrats, Democrats. That's huge, right, because we think it's all
about Elon Musk And I go back to point out two.
Zuckerberg spent three hundred plus million dollars in the last
election twenty twenty against Trump and the likes, So settle
down with they don't have anybody they care. Trump is

(01:41:00):
able to speak to people, especially in the middle and
a working class in waste, that others just can't. I watched,
or I haven't. There are some that can, but I watched.
Uh it was I think it was Dak's Dax Shepherd's podcast,
and he had on Andrew Schultz and they were talking

(01:41:23):
about Trump, and he says, look, this guy talks like
like we do. Right, he talks like we do. And
he goes, you know, doing that whole thing with you know,
Vance and Zelenski and in there, and they did that
whole thing. And then they had a press conference and
he says, you know, in the middle of it, some
lady asked him a question about a bomb drop or

(01:41:44):
something like that. He said, what if this, what if
that lady goes a bomb could drop on your head
right now? Stop with the what ifs. But and all
of them started laughing. They're like, yeah, because that sound
like somebody from the streets would say, somebody from from
a regular neighborhood, a regular, not a billionaire. Not he
He reached people that the left, for the most part,

(01:42:04):
can't stand middle class, working class individuals who may be
pissed at the rich too, but don't hate them. But
we're sick and tired of being you know, just gaslighted
all the time on numerous issues in the social world

(01:42:24):
that were ridiculous and told that they should bite their
tongue when it came to things like COVID immigration and
all this other stuff. And they had had enough.

Speaker 22 (01:42:34):
Meanwhile, President Trump absolutely crushed with Americans who make under
one hundred thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (01:42:39):
The Democrats are.

Speaker 22 (01:42:40):
The party of the wealthy, and Donald Trump is representing
the working class because he simply lifted the pro worker
elements of the Democrats' agenda when they abandoned the working
class to cater to their rich base. This is all
performance art. And what's so upsetting about it is they
are being by the American people to serve them and

(01:43:03):
they are doing nothing of the kind.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
Amen very true, they're lost because they are fighting each other,
the Democrats in ways that quite frankly, make me laugh,
because the only people that have any kind of momentum

(01:43:25):
are the uber progressives inside of the party. But that
works somewhat in the party. But what doesn't work is
how they want to get to all of the things
that they promise. That falls away rather fast when he
talks about their socialism Marxist ideas. So until you can

(01:43:48):
find somebody that has common sense in the Democratic Party,
that thing is going to just flounder and continue to
do so. And the sad thing is, Republicans, you have
every opportunity here to not only distance yourself in a
way that you cannot believe, but put yourself in the
driver's seat for decades. Think about that, especially when the

(01:44:13):
next census comes and the way that things are going
and how people are moving from red states to blue states.
You have a chance to absolutely take hold of politics
in a way that we haven't seen for a very
long time yet. I don't trust the Republicans to do that.

Speaker 11 (01:46:00):
No, not the country, the institution, the chat Benson shown.

Speaker 1 (01:46:05):
I just wanted to be the fairest.

Speaker 3 (01:46:08):
Of them all.

Speaker 12 (01:46:09):
Disney's live action Snow White number one at weekend theater
box offices, but with only forty three million dollars in
ticket sales. According to studio estimates, it cost over two
hundred and fifty million. Reviews were not strong, Some talking
heads alleged and overly woke production. Disney's, the parent company
of ABC News, Black Bags second and ticket sales, and

(01:46:29):
Captain America.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
Brave New World third with over four million each. Wow,
that movie sucked. Not Captain America. I haven't seen it.
I was talking to my uncle about it yesterday. I said,
what was it deal with Captain America? Because you know
what it was. It was convoluted, It was all over
the place. It was choppy. It was like five movies
and one they went back to relive, like the first
Hulk movie that nobody even remembers with like Nick Nolty

(01:46:53):
and litt Tyler because I don't remember that. But snow
Oak did not go well. How it was just it
looked amazingly awful. First of all snow White and the
seven Dwarves. But we decided, dah, but I can use dwarves.
We're gonna make them bandits. They're gonna be all kinds
of different sizes, colors the whole nine years. We're gonna

(01:47:15):
make its as diverse as possible. No, but by then
they had already said, well, we don't want to make
it seem like you know, these these these people are
are are dwarves. We don't want to put them inside
of a stereotype, inside of a cave. Again, it's a fantasy.
Get over yourselves. You guys talked yourself out of dwarves,

(01:47:36):
which everybody loved, and then you decided, well, we'll see Jaya,
and everybody has seen it, says Dopey's terrifying.

Speaker 14 (01:47:43):
No Longer nineteen thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
It's not gonna be ived by the Prince.

Speaker 14 (01:47:47):
It's not going to be say the Prince. And she's
not going to be dreaming about truelove. She's dreaming about
becoming the leader she knows she can be, and the
leader that her late father told her that she could
be if she was fearless.

Speaker 39 (01:47:57):
Fair, brave and true.

Speaker 14 (01:47:58):
The original cartoon came out in nineteen thirty seven, and
very evidently so there is a big focus on her
love story with a guy who literally stalks her.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird.

Speaker 39 (01:48:14):
So we didn't do that this time. I was scared
of the original cartoon.

Speaker 14 (01:48:18):
I think I watched it once and then.

Speaker 31 (01:48:19):
I never picked it up again.

Speaker 2 (01:48:20):
I watched it for the first time in.

Speaker 39 (01:48:22):
Probably sixteen seventeen years. The cartoon was made eighty five
years ago, and therefore it's extremely dated when it comes
to the ideas of women being in roles of power.

Speaker 14 (01:48:37):
No Longer nineteen thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
But it is not going to be i'ved by the Prince.

Speaker 14 (01:48:40):
It's not going to be say the Prince.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
No, she's not. And can I just say, Prince, you
dodged a bullet on this one three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
