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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I told you, I told you Florida was going to
go to the Republicans and they would underperform and Wisconsin
would easily go to the Democrats. And last night it happened.
Oh boy, did it happen. What does this mean? I
don't know. What it means is money and Musk didn't

(00:37):
help one guy get over the finish line. And Crawford
is now the new Supreme Court justice in Wisconsin, which
means they'll have the opportunity to draw up new districts
Jerry Mander, whatever you want to call it, and that

(01:00):
change what the House looks like next year. Potentially. Again,
everything's potential. You never know, you never ever know. It
was easy to see last night what was gonna happen.
And I mean, you figured, Wow, this is gonna be great.
They're gonna win Wisconsin. Trump's got the mandate. It's Liberation Day,
which we're gonna get to. Oh do you guys feel liberated?

(01:24):
N No, it's ah, that didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
This is Wisconsin. This is a critical battleground state. This
was President Donald Trump's narrow wisp margin of victory in
the November election. He won this state by just about
thirty thousand votes.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Not only is this a critical.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Battleground, but the state Supreme Court here could have big
rulings coming up, including on abortion rights, and also they
could be potentially ruling on any congressional redistricting.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's really what matters. Congressional re districting. That's the thing
that matters to me. Everything else is just noise. Everything
else is just noise at this point in time. It's
the re district. If they're able to redistrict it in
a certain way, draw up the lines, well, it's it's

(02:16):
illegal when they do it, but it's right when we
do it, which is such maloney. Have you seen some
of the lines, some of these on both sides of
it that they drop. It's like, okay, so I just
want to go over this again. So this area over
here is yours. Then you skip eight blocks and that
area over here is also yours. Yeah, yeah, that's the
way that works. Okay, I just want to make sure
that's it. That's the way that that works. Yeah. Yeah,

(02:39):
it's it's crazy, it is. It's it's nuts. And both
sides do it. They're both culpable in this insanity. But
it will be important going forward is going to be important.
And the millions of dollars that poured in. And by

(03:00):
the way I said yesterday and I continue to say,
it wasn't just Musk. Musk was the face and the
left has branded himself. They love Musk, by the way,
the media, oh, because they're worried about Trump going away,
because like if Trump goes away, there isn't that other
foil for them, right, you know, they believe themselves to
be Batman, And we'll get to Batman a little bit

(03:22):
passed away yesterday, one of the Batman's But the reality
is he is giving them new life of somebody to
fight against, a new face of somebody to fight against
in this doge thing. And the fact that he's joined

(03:43):
up with the evil that is right. I mean, at
one time he was Luke Skywalker, but now he's joined
up with Darth Vader. That's the way they look at it.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
So a judge RaSE election in Wisconsin will decide whether
or not the Democrats can Jerry Amanda Wisconsin in order
to remove two houses from Republican to Democrat because of
the raiser of thin margins in the House. That would
mean potentially a flip of the House from a Republican

(04:14):
to Democrat.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
That means at the.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Next election, roughly less than two years from now, the
House will then immediately take action to stop the president's agenda.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
So that's what potentially could happen. Everything's a potential, right,
everything's a potential in life as well as politics. You
never know what's going to happen. Two years from now,
we could be on a path to enormous growth like
we've never seen before. Peace in the Middle East, peace

(04:50):
in the eastern part of Europe. Everybody's flush with cash.
And it wouldn't matter if all seven these judges were
liberal in Wisconsin and that they just drew one big
line and say all eight people get because it doesn't

(05:10):
matter because Trump has got everybody moving in such a direction.
Oh my god, we're all gonna win because or the
opposite wouldn't matter if the conservative guy won last night,
if everything's going to hell in a handbasket and the
economy struggling, because let's be real, you want to know

(05:33):
how people vote, Ask them how their bank account is.
They'll tell you right there. And today is Liberation Day?
Are you ready to be liberated? Are you? Are you?
Because we're Today's it's all about we're liberating is we've
never been more liberated. Today's gonna be the day we're
gona get liberated.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
And those four oh one k people who are depending,
those retirees, all of that, just talking speak with them. Look,
when this nation used to go to war, people in
this country would support the war effort with with their
materials at home and making things for weaponry and all that.
We got to do one hundred percent buy in over
this bumpy period. Just communicate.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
So you want people to grow their own food, build
their own cars. You want to fix this situation of
cheap goods that we've become addicted to, You're going to
have to change our mindset. That's how you fix a
problem like tariffing and the potential for more inflation and

(06:36):
the potential for a lot of this stuff. If you
want to fix that, it's about the people, and the
people are worried about life getting more expensive on fixed incomes.
That's what people are worried about. Oh yes, indeedy.

Speaker 7 (06:49):
Black Rocks cu Larry Fink wrote some faithful words today.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Quote.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
I hear it from nearly every client, nearly every leader,
really every person I talk to they're more anxious about
the economy than any time in recent memory.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
End quote.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I believe that. I believe that wholeheartedly.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
But let's think about what that really means for you
and me. We have declining inflation except the Presidence putting
on inflationary tariffs. We have incredibly low unemployment except where
it's caused by the Trump administration. We have a market
that was doing extremely well last year, and so the
Trump administration soto level uncertainty that I can't recall anytime
since Jimmy Carter, which is the last time people were
really worried about inflation.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
WHOA Kramer? Wait what, Yeah, it's it's it's a worry.
Let's be honest. There is a worry out there of
what this might do. And we can all say it's
all time for us to take up the war effort
and to all get together, and we'll bandy together, we'll
hold arms and well, sex sogs and well. If you're

(07:49):
on a fixed income and lives get more expensive, it's
I understand you want to take care of your grandkids
thirty years from now. You want to make sure apparently
they have some sort of manufacturing job. But you want
to fixed income. You're living your life now and all
of us, our life in this moment revolves around us,
and this is the how does this affect me at

(08:10):
this moment time?

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Everything about this economy is good, everything, everything except one thing.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
We have a president who's very angry.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
At everyone, and his wrath has made investors so downkissed
and so negative that people have just given up. They
want nothing to do with stocks, nothing to do with
this world, because they're sure the White House will keep
laying on the tiers that seem to wipe me out.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Your wealth in my wealth.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
In this environment, it's a wonder anyone's buying anything unless
they think that the one person who's standing in the
way of a great economy, one that could have incredible growth.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
With lowered inflation, lower oil prices.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Less regulation, more confidence, will finally change the stripes. If
Trump can lose the anger, drop the scout'll stop diminishing
our friends and rivals while making common caluths with our enemies,
and generally start acting like he did in his first turn.
Well that would be huge for the stockborn.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
WHOA, he's got a I need some of those I
need a bell. Let's say, do I have anything here.
That's a bell like, haven't you got anything here? I
got Selena? That was a song. Now it's not that elon.
What do you think go yourself. Oh that's not very nice.
I don't think that was very nice at all. That
was quite mean. I gonna talk to you anymore about that.

(09:14):
Continue Kramer, bottom my baby. Wednesday is a deliteration day.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
It's just the day when American investors may be finally
liberated from the President's not so pro business attitude once
he gets the tariffs out of the way.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh, now here's what I'll tell you about tariffs. I
don't know. I have no idea. I don't know how
long they're gonna last. I don't know how long this
is gonna go on. I don't know any of those things.
Why is that because nobody knows. Nobody knows, because it's
Donald Trump. Tariffs could be on for an hour, they

(09:48):
could be on for a week, they could be on
for a month, or they could not go on. All
of those things are true. Some tariffs could go on,
some could People asking him, so are you going to
tear iff these ten? Where'd you hear that? I've heard
it around? No, where'd you hear that. No, I'm tariffing
a whole bunch.

Speaker 8 (10:07):
Okay, well, who Well you'll find out, Okay, Well, then
we'll find out.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
What matters is how you feel about it, and if
you're worried about it, and if you stop spending, and
if there's a slow down and then the market slows
down and then the job market starts to become a
real issue, then Trump will pivot. Do I think it's
a good idea? Look, do I think there's some unfair

(10:37):
kind of trading? I think we can all realize that
we have some trade deficits out there that are ridiculous
and that we need to address those things. Do I
think opening up a whole bunch of essentially fronts and
a tear for war is the smartest thing to do. No,

(10:58):
but we're going to find out how it works. Trump
loves to do these kind of things. He's a risk taker.
That's what got him there. And this could work out
perfectly fine. Or it could be a nothing, which is
always a possibility in today's world. It could be a
nothing where people talk about it and then nothing happens.

(11:19):

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Game, Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
There was a message sent to Luigi Mangioni from the
FEDS and from New York. Don't do what you did
because you will face the death penalty, absolutely as you should.
It is insane the support that people give this guy,

(13:36):
it truly is, and the reality that he's become some
sort of Robin Hood figure, some sort of hero, is nuts.
And the message is clear.

Speaker 9 (13:53):
Nope, clearly the Justice Department wants to send some kind
of a message. And that's been consistent from one can
administration to the next. Remember the crime was committed while
Joe Biden was still president, and it was the Biden
administration that pushed to have him charged in federal court
in addition to the state charges that Mangioni faces, and

(14:14):
that was done in anticipation of just this him facing
the death penalty as a possible deterrent to putting other
CEOs in danger like that.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Absolutely, you have to have so. And I'm not a
big fan of death penalty just because I think it's costly,
it's time consuming. I don't think it works as a deterrent.
But you needed something here because remember the best that
he could have gotten in I believe New York was
twenty five to live with a chance to get out,

(14:47):
and they decided, hey, if we charge federally, we can
get this guy to make sure he never gets out again,
as he shouldn't again, allegedly being the shooter, stalking an
individual and killing him and then being celebrated for it.

Speaker 10 (15:09):
The messaging couldn't be clearer. She and others around the
country have kind of been shocked by this public reaction,
this public sympathy that we've seen toward MANGIONI obviously his
cause seems to be grievances with the healthcare industry, and
what she's trying to kind of convey I believe with
this announcement is that this kind of murder and the
public aspect of it that's shocking. Video and the tensions

(15:32):
and flaring passions that it invoked. I think she wants
to make clear that this is something at least in
their agenda is not acceptable.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
text the program love hearing from all of you right
here on the Chad Benson Show. No and New York
also wants to make sure you know, Hey, CEOs, if
you're gonna come here and you're gonna have a big event,
you're gonna be safe. We're not gonna have a bunch
of lunatics running around shooting you to start some sort

(16:00):
of class warfare. I also go back to this, If
he's four hundred pounds, nobody cares, a couple double chins,
a limp, nobody cares. Not trying to be mean, just
being honest. The look has a lot to do with this.
We'll get into that a little bit later. But first,

This is the Chad Benson Show, Son Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:01):

Speaker 2 (18:04):
We'll get back to being liberated very soon, but first
liberation for some of these people not so much. The
immigration debate continues.

Speaker 13 (18:13):
Lawyers for the Salvadorian man Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia are
partitioning for his immediate return. They say Abrego Garcia was
removed against a twenty nineteen judges order preventing him from
being sent back to his home country. Why else still
acknowledging the oversight unapologetic.

Speaker 14 (18:30):
It was an administrative error. The administration maintains the position
that this individual who was deported to El Salvador and
will not be returning to our country was a member
of the brutal a vicious MS thirteen gang.

Speaker 13 (18:43):
Brigo Garcia's family says he's no gang member.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Then show us all of the information. It's that simple,
should be easy to show you. Look, this is all
the things that he was accused of and or participated
in and or did no offense. Don't want to just
take your word for it. Wouldn't take Joe Biden's word

(19:08):
for it either. And those of you who think it's
just yeah, let's all take their word for it, you're insane.
We've got to do the right thing. And yes, getting
people out of here that are criminals is a good thing.

(19:28):
And there's going to be some mistakes. Somebody said yesterday
based on their tattoos, Chad, they can tell I said, really,
because some of those tattoos, including the crown I have
on my arm. You do, yeah? Yeah, her king says
underneath what Well, based on that should I go? Just

(19:52):
out of curiosity? I say this because getting it right
is important, and everybody's terrified of the tribe. Everybody's terrified
to say something that that may make them seem like
they're oh, they're they're If I say this, Chad, and

(20:14):
I agree with you, a due process is good. But
if I say this, the tribe will tell me that
I'm not anti illegal immigration enough. No, that's that's that's
not what it's about. It's it's it's about the due process.
I mean, in college campuses, the insanity of going after

(20:37):
some of these people and flying them to Louisiana, right
like se So you take them and you take them
to custody, whether your five or seven folks getting out
of a van, snatching her up and flying her to Louisiana. Okay,

(20:59):
And do you guys feel safer that you got that
off the streets that MS Oh she wasn't an MS thirteen. No,
it's where the hell's the common sense? This is all
about sending messages, and it is frustrating because there are
bad dudes and bad gals out there. There are bad people.

(21:21):
Just based on the numbers alone, the numbers alone. If
you think that ten million people came across this border
over the last four years, ten million and even a

(21:44):
half a percent, we're bad ombres. You're looking at fifty
thousand people. So, yeah, they're bad people. Let's get them.
Let's get them the hell out of here. But let's
do it right.

Speaker 15 (22:01):
With the bunch of these trend to aar Agua guys.
Allegedly they got one guy who at least one guy
who wasn't a criminal, who was just a gay bob
who I think, according to the story, came here legally.
And I think a human being being plucked out of
nowhere and ending up in the country's never been in
a maximum security prison with gang members seems like a

(22:23):
bad thing to happen to me.

Speaker 16 (22:25):
It's horrific. It's horrific.

Speaker 15 (22:26):
I don't think that should be controversial.

Speaker 16 (22:28):
No, that's not controversial at all. And this is the thing,
you know, measured twice cut once.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
M I keep saying that, I say it over and
over again. Measure twice, cut once, sometimes, measure a third time.
Get it right because we're better than that. And to
ask to be better than that not perfection, there's no perfection.

(22:54):
It was one person who was perfect. We know what
happened to him. But to get it right and to
have transparent and see, damn skippy, we should.

Speaker 16 (23:02):
Well, that's horrific. And that's again that's bad for the cause.
Like the cause is, let's get the gang members out.
Everybody agrees, but what's not innocent? Gay hairdressers get lumped
up with the gangs, and then like, how long before
that guy can get out? Can we figure out how
to get him out?

Speaker 15 (23:16):
Well, if you think about it from a government perspective,
and this is where I think it gets quite sinister,
is once you've done that, the incentive structure is never
going to be to admit that and deal with it.
The incentive structure is to say nothing, to cover it up,
to pretend it didn't happen. Right, So someone ends up
in a black hole. But we've seen it, like, we've
seen it in every country, including in America.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's true. I mean, come on, I mean we saw
that in many places. We'll say Russia for one, so
before we want to start lumping ourselves into certain situations.
May and like I said, it's not perfection. Not looking
for perfection as much as we'd want it. We got

(23:59):
to do the best we can to get as close
to it as we can. But we will make mistakes.
But you measure, you're transparent, You leave no doubt in
people's mind that this is what we're doing and we're
doing it right. So there is no blowback. This shouldn't

(24:22):
be controversial. The judge order is that.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
He should remain in this country.

Speaker 17 (24:26):
So are you saying that it is okay to ignore
a judge's ruling if you don't like him.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Who does that judge work for?

Speaker 14 (24:33):
It was an immigration judge who works for the Department
of Justice at the direction of the Attorney General of
the United States, whose name is Pam Bondy, who has
committed to eradicating Ms thirteen from our nation's interior.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
What that right there is ridiculous. Who does she work for? Pambondy? Okay,
so well, why don't we just grab everybody? Well no,
I mean, come on, yeah, that's read no. But there
was an order that says, now this dude is to

(25:07):
stay here. I mean doesn't mean he's not going to
eventually leave, but let's do it right. And when you're
going against judges again, I have a frustration with that.
I have an absolute frustration with that. We should all

(25:27):
these things shouldn't be controversial. They become that way because
you're seen by the many to not support whatever. And
this includes both sides of the out We all know that,
right if you don't support everything you're supposed to, the
tribes's gonna be like, ah, you need to leave me.

Speaker 18 (25:42):
Shut up.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's Liberation Day. Hold on a second, I'm checking and
see if I'm liberated. Not yet.

Speaker 14 (25:48):
Looking ahead to tomorrow, April second, twenty twenty five will
go down as one of the most important days in
modern American history. Our country has been one of the
most open economies in the world, and we have the
consumer base, hands down the best consumer base, but too
many foreign countries have their markets closed to our exports.

(26:10):
This is fundamentally unfair. The lack of reciprocity contributes to
our large and persistent annual trade deficit that's gutted our
industries and hollowed out key workforces. But those days of
America beginning tomorrow being ripped off are over?

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Okay, good, I'm let's see right, I'm ready for it.
I don't know how long they're gonna last. They could last,
like I said, an hour, they could never go on.
I mean, we just know the whip ladd. You know.
That's the other thing that's not being talked about. There
is an uncomfortableness out there in the marketplace. We've talked
about this with our buddy Sack on numrous occasions, and

(26:49):
that is the market wants stability, wants to know where
things are going if you are unsure. Let's say I
have a business that produces widgets, okay, and at this
moment in time, I don't know what's going to happen
with tariffs. I don't know how this is going to
affect me. I don't know what some of my stuff

(27:11):
that I get from other places because we don't produce
it here for whatever reason, is going to cost coming in.
I need some workers. Yet at the same time, I'm
not sure I will based on where the tariffs are.
So I'm just going to pause, which doesn't help anybody.

(27:40):
So and and you know, Karen Levitt there talked about
our consumer base. I've been saying it. If you want
to fix all of this, you have to retrain American
shoppers that cheap goods aren't what you're looking for. You're
looking for American made goods, stuff produced here or stuff

(28:09):
that is maybe produced elsewhere. But there are allies and
we've got, you know, a fair trade agreement with that's
what you're looking for, and it's going to cost you
more money. The issue with that is we've become addicted
to cheap goods, and before the wages rise up to counterbalance,

(28:31):
if you will, the rising cost of something that takes
a while, so you feel it. They don't work hand
in hand. Oh if tomorrow they put you know, the
tariffs went into total effect or today or whatever, and

(28:53):
your wages rose accordingly to whatever these prices are going
to potentially rise, well it would be a different story.
But that's not the way that works, and so there's
a delay in that action. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is

Val Kilmer was born in Los Angeles and Hollywood was
in his blood.

Speaker 20 (30:40):
I'm not the first guy of fell in love with
the girl he met in the restaurant, who then.

Speaker 19 (30:43):
Making his featured debut in the nineteen eighty four spy
movie spoof Top Secrets. Later roles had him playing Elvis
Presley and doors icon Jim Morrison. He was paired with
Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

Speaker 11 (30:54):
You're Everyone's problem.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
That's because every time you go up in the air.

Speaker 19 (30:56):
You're unsafe and immortalized as Doc Holiday with three words,
I'm Haklbert. Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in twenty fourteen,
but recovered. His daughter says, he saycumbed to pneumonia.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
You know, it's funny. I watch a ton of his movies, right,
like Real Genius is hilarious, Top Secret and all those
are great. If you don't guys don't know, they're very
very funny. Early movies, very comedic. He was brilliant. And
then they talk about, you know, Batman, and then they

(31:29):
talk about you know, oh what about the fact that
he was Jim Morrison and of course Iceman and all
of those things. Yet nobody cares about Jim Morrison's and
him playing that not that nobody cares about the doors.
I'm just saying him playing that part. People forget he
played Batman. The most famous thing about that movie he

(31:50):
is probably Kiss from a Rose, even though it was
hugely successful. And yes, Iceman, but still that's Tom Cruise
when you think of it, when you think of Val Kilmer,
one role comes to mind, one role. You know what

(32:11):
I'm talking about. Well, I didn't think you had.

Speaker 21 (32:22):
It in you.

Speaker 22 (32:24):
I'm your Huckleberry. Why, Johnny Ringo, you looked like somebody
just walked over your grave.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I fight's out with you holiday I beg the differencer.
We started the game, we never got to.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Finish Play for Blood.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Remember I was just fooling about, say when come oh, Johnny,
come on.

Speaker 11 (33:09):
You're no daisy, you know they.

Speaker 21 (33:14):
Or so.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
You were just too high strum.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I could listen to that. It's one of those movies
where you're sitting around on a Saturday and it's five
or ten minutes in and you're like, I'm going to
watch the whole movie. I know almost every word, yet
I'm going to watch the whole freaking movie. And you
do and for you know, Tombstone, and I've been to Tombstone.

(33:43):
It's awesome, so tiny, so weeet tiny. I don't think
people realize how tiny it is. It's incredible how one
moment captures and Doc Holiday. People beloved Doc coll That
movie's not about Wyatt er as much as it's about,

(34:05):
you know, his revenge and the tour and the whole thing.
At the end of today, it's about a relationship between
Wyatt and Doc, mostly on the revenge tour, but he
steals the show. Didn't get an Academy Award nomination for it,
which sucked. And the other movie that came out that
was about Doc Holliday and Whiter was Costner's movie, which

(34:30):
actually was longer than all of their lives, which was
a tough thing to watch. And I did enjoy that
movie with Costner and Quaid, But this this was epic.

Speaker 20 (34:46):
Epic.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Indeed, Man sixty five struggled big time last several years
cancer and then he had the throat surgery to help
and breathe Betther and he just never really recovered and
he couldn't speak, and you know it, it was sad

(35:08):
to watch the way that he kind of just faded
away and for something like pneumonia to take him. But
it just shows you how much damage was done. Three two, three, five,

from all of you. A lot of stuff coming up
in our number two more on Wisconsin. Is this a

(35:53):
warning shot on this Liberation Day if you will? Is
this a message that has been sent? Or is this
just a situation here that took place, because even with
Florida's when underperforming in both of those areas compared to
what happened in November of last year. We'll talk a
little bit more about that bunch of other stuff to
get to. If you're missing the show, shame on you

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Will today be one of the great days and our history?
Because it is. It's a day of liberation. Do you
guys like that little effect right there? I got all
kinds of effects over here. It's kind of more entertaining
playing with the effects and listen to the rest of
this crap.

Speaker 14 (37:10):
April second, twenty twenty five will go down as one
of the most important days in modern American history. Our
country has been one of the most open economies in
the world, and we have the consumer base, hands down
the best consumer base. But too many foreign countries have
their markets closed to our exports. This is fundamentally unfair.

(37:33):
The lack of reciprocity contributes to our large and persistent
annual trade deficit that's gutted our industries and hollowed out
key workforces.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
But those days of.

Speaker 14 (37:43):
America beginning tomorrow being ripped off are over all.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Right.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Let's get to it, baby, what's gonna happen? I don't
know how long is this gonna last? I don't know
will this last a long time? Will it not last?
But moments? Minutes? What do you say, mister robot.

Speaker 16 (38:07):
We do not compute with the length of what this
train tariff wore.

Speaker 23 (38:11):
Maybe because Donald Trump is a known quantity.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Wow, you just need to go to the tariff robot.
Tell you the truth. I don't know how long these
things are gonna last. I really do. And the reason
is simple. Everything's in negotiation with Trump. It's all a show.
It's a negotiation, and there's something else out there. It's
called politics. Trump is great at reading the room. Trump

(38:38):
is great at understanding a lot of things, including the
politics of the moment. And if things got uncomfortable, would
he pivot. Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (38:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (38:50):
There has been a lot of internal discussion about, you know,
how far Togo, where to target, how precise to be
in targeting the tariff. But there's a a I mean,
my reporting is that this is and this is obvious.
This is just what the president wants to do. He's
always believed firmly in tariffs. And this is not an
administration where the president is getting a ton of pushback.
And actually the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnik, has been pinpointed

(39:13):
as a person who inside the administration has really enabled
and encouraged this push The concern is not just from
Republicans in competitive seats on the hill or from economists
of different parties. It's also shared by some people around
the president who are worried, and the President himself and
other aides have said, look, there is going to be
some short term pain.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
How much can the American public handle. We're a consumer
based nation, where a consumer based nation. Where a consumer
based nation. That's just the reality of it. If you
want us to think differently and to act differently, that's
going to take time. If you want us to get
off of cheap goods, which I've talked about for years,

(39:56):
we export ideas, import cheap crap. If you want that
to happen, and you think you're gonna shock us into it,
be ready for what may happen. Politically it might be
best for us, but on the politics, and we all

(40:16):
know this, what may be best for us isn't always
great for politics.

Speaker 24 (40:21):
Donald Trump is not a guy who's usually all about
delaying gratification. He wants the payoff now, and so this
is a little out of character and an admission on
his part to say this is going to hurt. The
question is what's Donald Trump's political pain tolerance for this?
Maybe it's a little higher than it was in his
first term, but I don't know if it's as high

(40:42):
as he wants everyone to think it is. Yea, And
there are a lot of people out there who think, look,
this is just sort of starting.

Speaker 5 (40:48):
This is the show, and.

Speaker 24 (40:49):
This is the sort of start of a negotiation.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Says that, and that is so a huge part of it. Yeah,
you know what I'm going to say, This take a
way the evening out the trade side of things. Okay,
let's just let's take that away because there's so many
unknowns that come with that. We don't know what's going
on behind you know, the the the the White House wall,

(41:18):
if you will, the discussions that they're having where where
they're going to put these Is it twenty percent across
the board? Is it twenty percent for this? But five
percent of that or two percent of this take let's
just take all that away. We need to get off
of this. It is good for us to get off
of the cheap consumer goods. The issue is we're not

(41:41):
priced for it yet, meaning our incomes for certain things
will not match the things we need and yes want.
Oh and that's where the politics comes in, because the

(42:02):
politics are where these politicians, these leaders decide how far
they're willing to go on something. It may be right
for us, but if it's wrong for them, well then
they're going to do what's best for them.

Speaker 25 (42:27):
So like it or not, at least for the moment,
the day of liberation is here. For the moment three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is
your Twitter twait at his texta program.

Speaker 26 (42:44):
Meanwhile, Democratic back judge Susan Crawford decisively beat GOP back
judge Brad Shimmel in a race that attracted national attention
and big money. Elon Musk poured more than twenty million
dollars into the state to support Shimmel, arguing the fate
of Western civilization was at stake in the election. Both
sides believe a continued four to three liberal majority on
the court could advantage the Democrats in a future fight

(43:07):
over Wisconsin's congressional districts.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Hmm, I woke up today and humanity was still here.
We'll see how this plays out. And there's a perfect example.
So yesterday and over the last couple of weeks, we
have been talking about the money that's pouring in how
important this race was for the Republicans. Was this a
litmus test? Et cetera, et cetera. Okay, well here's the unknowns.

(43:34):
Let's move forward a year, and when we do, we
see an economy that is thriving and Trump's stuff all
worked out, and we've got peace in the Middle East,
and we have peace in the eastern parts of Europe.
We have a low you know, energy prices, things are rocking,

(43:56):
and Roland laf Field. Then that doesn't matter redraw the districts.
We all know. You want to know how politics is
going for your side, check your bank account, because if
you feel great about it and everybody else does, they're

(44:18):
not going to change jockeys mid race. But if the
Republicans would have won this last night and all that
stuff I just said, economy sucks, wars still raging in
both places, We've been dragged into certain things. We haven't

(44:38):
deported everybody he promised. It's that none of it would
have mattered. You could add seven conservatives on the Wisconsin
Supreme Court and it wouldn't have mattered. So much of
this is predicated on whether or not a lot of

(45:01):
other stuff happens, or if it stays the same, then
there's going to be potential to see redistricting, giving the
opportunity for the Democrats to get one or two seats.
I mean they talk, well, you know, it's about abortion,
it's about it's about redistricting. It's about where do I

(45:23):
get to draw the lines? Because I want to know
where I draw the lines? Where do I draw the lines?
Here's something that isn't being talked about. You know what
did win last night in Wisconsin? Voter ID by twenty percent.
That's how you know that the Elon Musk effect that
turned a lot of people off in Wisconsin really had

(45:47):
a adverse effect. I think in this race, which I
want to remind everybody, and I've been saying it, the Democrats, well,
Elon put the most money in. The Democrats put more
money in. As a collective, she raised more money. But

(46:12):
the effect I think that he had in this race
was very well noted by a lot of people and
felt by a lot of people in Wisconsin who felt like,
you came here to buy this.

Speaker 17 (46:28):
These races are nonpartists. But that did not stop Democrats
and Republicans from going all in. But perhaps no one
more than Elon Musk, the world's richest man in groups
that he backed, bouring more than twenty one million dollars
into this race to back the conservative judge, Musk hosting
a town hall, virtual events, even handing out two one

(46:48):
million dollar checks.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
In the end, it was not.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Enough, and I think there was definitely some pushback. We
heard that yesterday from a lot of voters out there
who were not thrilled by what they saw as somebody
encroaching in their space to try to buy an election,

(47:13):
not understanding that the Democrats and the Soroses and everybody
else had thrown a ton of money at it collectively
as well. But right now, Elon Musk is the face
of evil for a lot of people out there because
of Doge for Better or Worse Kids three two, three, five,

(47:36):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad buntin Sure
is your Twitter tweet at a Texas program coming up?
So much stuff to get to, including.

Speaker 8 (47:50):
Corey Booker, what Yes, Corey Booker people, Corey Booker, the
booker of Corey's twenty five Hours he spoke, We will
discuss that.

Speaker 2 (48:01):

We'll leave it blank there. You'll have to tune in
and listen. But first Lean, Lean Baby, Lean into getting thinner,

Speaker 27 (49:49):
Chad Benson, New Jersey Senator Corey Booker finished a record
breaking speech protesting the Trump administration's agenda. Booker began his
speech at seven pm Monday, ending just after eight of
clock last night, more than twenty five hours, no sitting down,
no eating, surpassing the length of Senator Strom Thurman's historic
speech in nineteen fifty seven opposing civil rights.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Wow, so brave have you talked for that long? I could?
I always say, I want to do it for charity.
I there you go. I don't even know what to say.
I mean, did it change anything?

Speaker 21 (50:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Is that for the brand? That's for the brand. That's
what that was. That was for the brand. Let's be real.
That was great for the brand. Did it change anything? No,
it didn't. It also helped him take a little step

(50:47):
further as they inch towards who gets to be the
leader not only of the Democrats, but potentially the leader
when it comes to twenty twenty eight. But it didn't
change a damn thing, nothing, nothing, because it's Liberation Day.
People people got liberated. When it comes to AHHS, what, Yes,

(51:12):
lots of cuts.

Speaker 23 (51:13):
The impact to this is really still unfurling. We know
that ten thousand people were expected to lose their jobs
in this round of layoffs, and that's in addition to
ten thousand people who had already decided to leave HHS
through early retirement or deferred resignation programs. So the federal
agency is going to fall from a staff of eighty
two thousand round sixty two thousand. That's a quarter of

(51:33):
the workforce, and experts say that is going to hugely
change the work that AHHS is able to do.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Okay, what's going to happen? This was interesting because first
of all, a quarter of the workforce. Remember everything is
going to be challenged in court, so let's not forget that.
But secondly, how many of these jobs could be done
and are being overlapped in other areas right diagram? How

(52:00):
many of these things could be done elsewhere if we're
trying to save money, and we should be trying to
save money and also making things more efficient. Saving money
to run like crap is not something we want three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show

(52:20):
is your ex and your Instagram. Check out chadbensonshow dot
com for all the latest on the Chad Benson Show.
That's why technology needs to be a big part of this.
It can't just be let's cut everything, but who knows
what any of it looks like because these things are
going to drag on for years, these court battles. So

(52:44):
understand that this thought that Doge is going to sort
everything out and it's going to be done lickety split. Ooh,
you're fooling yourselves. Kids. Some of the other cuts that
happen include tobacco.

Speaker 23 (52:54):
I spoke to one employee at the CDC. He was
a health scientist at the Office on Smoking and Health,
which is the lead federal agency for comprehensive tobacco prevention
and control. Distributes money to every US state to prevent
and reduce smoking, vaping, and using nicotine products, especially among
young people. He said he was surprised because tobacco is
the leading cause of preventable death in the US and

(53:17):
a serious producer of chronic disease, which is a primary
goal of the new HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior's commitment.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Don't already know what tobacco's been, Well, it's different. Check
because we've got vaping. Now we get all this stuff.
I understand it. We do. I've often wondered how many
of those campaigns really work? Honestly, I mean, do we
have an idea of how many things really work? Because

(53:49):
I think a lot of times you change your habits
when you're forced to change your habits. Seeing a commercial
or a website or a billboard really change your habits.
Just curious, let me know. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three At Chad Benson shows your ex

(54:12):
and your Instagram all the other things she's missing the show, credit,
the podcast, It is Deep Chat Benson.

Speaker 28 (54:18):
Show, then Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
It is Wednesday, and you know with Wednesday comes Wednesday.
Fun like a little wokeness.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Buckle up, everybody, it's time to talk about my pronouns.

Speaker 27 (54:51):
When babies are born, the doctor looks at them and
they make a guess about whether the baby is a
boy or girl, but sometimes the doctor is wrong.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
It lucy are pronoun.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
They them they, there was two of them I came
out of.

Speaker 29 (55:12):
So let's go rock brocks pronouns.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
That sounds so cool.

Speaker 27 (55:16):
Let me introduce you to our non binary.

Speaker 30 (55:18):
I am non binary and I use them pronouns.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
And my students know this.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
We just came up with new words that fit us better.

Speaker 11 (55:24):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
What if I want to be called sir Elton Johnson?
It's time for woke Wednesday? Shall we get woke and
shall we do fun thing?

Speaker 21 (55:35):
Like?

Speaker 2 (55:35):
What do you identify as? Sarcastically saying, I think that
I would like validation for my gender identity.

Speaker 21 (55:43):
My pronouns are it and they my gender is none.
I enjoy dressing in a more feminine I guess way,
but I don't want to be associated with gender. I
enjoy looking like a clown. I I kind of view myself.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
As a doll. I don't abide by gender.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
I'm built different, built different, said with sarcasticness. Nah oh, kids,
takes all kinds. That's right. Like this one, and there's
an update to this one even as the story comes out.

Speaker 30 (56:23):
Hi, I'm Rosie, Texas English teacher and transgender goddess. Here
with just a couple of thoughts about some gender euphoria
that I have.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
Been feeling today.

Speaker 30 (56:33):
So, for those of you that don't know, gender euphoria
is the feeling you get when you finally feel comfortable
in your gender, when something good happens, and it just
brings you a lot of joy and calm. And it's
been happening to me a lot today. This morning, when
I stopped at the gas station for my morning energy drink,
I got mammed, which is so funny because I know
that there are a lot of women who really don't

(56:55):
like being called man, but I like it a lot.
It's so new to me, and it's so wonderful, and
it was such a small thing to make me this happy.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Oh that's good. It's easy to make you happy. Rosie
or Zachary or Rosie. You want to be called Rosie,
knock yourself out. Stop playing pretend in front of the kids.
That's all I'm asking to do.

Speaker 30 (57:13):
And then at school today, I'm surrounded by kids. I
teach sophomores, and I have these fifteen sixteen year olds
who are completely on board, who when I told them
I had changed my pronouns jumped right into it. They
call me man, they call me miss, They use my
correct pronouns and know my correct name, and it is

(57:34):
incredibly affirming.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Good. I'm glad you're affirmed, because really it's about you.
The more that we can make this about you, Rosie,
the better it is for everybody. Now, Rosie's a teacher,
as you could hear, and this came out on libs
A TikTok. Well we've got an update with Rosie. Rosie,
take it away.

Speaker 30 (57:57):
I do want to share with you the one track
that I see in all of this, and that is this.
I never had the opportunity to say goodbye to my students.
This happened so quickly. I was not allowed back in
the classroom. And the one thing that breaks my heart
right now, as I will never get to tell all

(58:19):
of these students the impact that they have had on me.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Now, all that being said, Rosie's no longer teaching. Rosie
was a teacher, no longer teaching at Red Oak ISD
and the reason, obviously the backlash of this thing coming
out a lot of people were upset. I'm going to
tell you guys this right now, as an adult, you
decide to transition, knock yourself out, do whatever you want

(58:46):
to do, as long as you're not hurting anybody. It's
about the kids. Is if you're doing stupid things of
the kids, I'm sorry. If you're preaching insanity, if you're
pushing an ideology, no matter what it is, no, no
can all agree with that. In fact, later on yesterday
I had on Brad Palumbo and play some of that

(59:07):
for you a little bit later in the show. He's
a YouTube influencer, independent, but he's gay, and we talked
about the fact that the tea has caused a lot
of issues in the lgbt Q community, and a lot
of that has to do with the fact that this

(59:27):
became an ideology that was pushed advocates pushing in doctor nation,
especially to kids. And you can't do that. I'm sorry,
not going to do it, not going to accept it.
Nobody should. And I'm happy if somebody said, would you
be fine if somebody who has trans taught your kid,

(59:48):
I said, are they teaching my kid to learn to
read to write? Or they pushing in doctrination? You mean
you would be I've got friends people I know who
are trans. And the last thing they would ever do
is push an ideology or anything on anybody, and you'd
be surprised one of them is uber conservative and no
it's not Caitlin Jenner. But to threaten, and that's what's

(01:00:11):
happened here is asinine. To threaten to kill somebody is asinine.
And this is where the woke insanity has gotten us,
because yes, while that person's an idiot for threatening to
kill this person, Rosie, the other side of it is

(01:00:31):
you've pushed ideology onto a bunch of people that have
finally said they've had enough, and it doesn't give you
a right to threaten, and you shouldn't and this should
find out who that is and go after them. That's
not free speech. You're threatening to hurt somebody, you're threatening
to kill somebody. You've crossed that line. But in today's world,
you're in Texas, you might want to say, look, you know,

(01:00:53):
I'm here to teach. This is my dream. I want
to teach somebody and teach these kids, and I want
to teach them to learn to read to and a
quick conversation about hey, this is who I am, and
then let it go for there. The problem was we
passed that a long time ago when it became and
as Rosie even put you know how it was about

(01:01:15):
her him, they them neutral Zezer. It becomes about something
that is not about the teaching. It becomes about you
more than the kids can't have that, won't have that.
I have a new favorite group though I like they're
out of Cambridge in England. It's my new favorite group.

(01:01:36):
It's the Communist in the college.

Speaker 29 (01:01:39):
The results are in and just under a thousand students
at Cardiff UNI voted for a communist program.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Now, this is an enormous victory.

Speaker 29 (01:01:46):
It means almost a thousand students at Cardiff are open
to the ideas of communism. Now, if you voted for
me and agreed with the program, you should join the
RCP and you should join the Communists on campus so
that we can build this movement to back against the
cuts and fight back against management. Because we know the
crisis of capitalism is only going to get worse, and

(01:02:06):
they are going to be more attacks in education, more
attacks in the public sector, and we need to build
a movement to fight back against this. This election is
not the end of the campaign, but instead the beginning.
We're going to be out every single week speaking to
students building this movement because we know it's the only
way to fight back against the cuts in the university
and to fight back against capitalism.

Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
So if you want to.

Speaker 29 (01:02:28):
Get involved of us, send a message to the Instagram.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Instagram. Yeah that was building by communists. It was now
it wasn't. They're my new favorite. I watch at least
one or two videos a day of them. I'll post them.
You guys, they're They're hilarious because they're sitting there and
they've got nikes on, They've got all this stuff on.
They will talk about communism and all this and I
just laugh and I'm like, ah, you know, it makes
me smile. You guys are idiots. You don't know the

(01:02:55):
real world. And go look at the comments, because, as
we all know, the comments are far more entertaining, and
many of them are from people who came from communist
country saying, yeah, can we have a chat. I want
to tell you what it's about. And there's a part
in one of the videos that's longer, and we'll do
a segment on it soon. How they try to explain

(01:03:15):
as their peers did before them, and the peers did
before them, how their version of communism will work and
how the other ones just didn't do it right three two, three, five, three,

Liberation Day, it's good to have some protection. Gold is

Is shifting way from its iconic skimpy waitress outfits and
bikini days, instead opting for a family friendly vibe. Facing
nearly four hundred million dollars in debt, the chain now
filing for bankruptcy protection as it looks to sell its
company owned restaurants to two groups backed by the original founders.
They're vowing to improve the food and ingredients, and staff

(01:05:21):
is now being urged to greet women first when groups arrive.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
So that's gonna help. What are you gonna call yourself?
We have that.

Speaker 8 (01:05:31):
It's called ihop, it's called Applebee's, it's called TGI Fridays,
Red Robin, I can go on.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
I mean really, no, this is gonna be good. No,
No it's not. No, No, it's not this is this
is not working the way you think. Okay, you're you're
you're going down the J. C. Penny route at this
point in time. K Mart's coming soon.

Speaker 31 (01:05:56):
Many restaurant chains have been struggling with rising costs and
customers cutting back in the face of inflation. Red Lobster
and TGR Fridays also filing for bankruptcy recently.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
And do you think that that Red Lobster is like,
all right, here's the deal. We're not gonna serve Lobster anymore.
It's too expensive and greet women first. You think that's
gonna help them. Certain crawdads will tell them it's mini Lobsters.
It's not gonna help them. It's not. I just love
that's so funny though. It's like, all right, here's the deal. No,

(01:06:30):
no more of the Skippy shorts and the Tide shirts,
no more of that, No more of that now straight
across the board. It's about pancakes and family. Oh okay o,
speaking of ladies and mills, Chad, I'm just saying they're

(01:06:53):
messing with Congress. This is a big deal to some.
To me, I just think it's hilarious.

Speaker 18 (01:07:00):
Brought the House of Representatives to a grinding halt yesterday,
and they're pushed to allow proxy voting for new parents
in Congress. Democrat Britney Peterson and Republican and A Paulina
Luna have been working to pass a bill that would
allow proxy voting for twelve weeks around the birth of
a child, meaning during that time a lawmaker could have
a colleague vote on their behalf.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
I don't have a problem with this. I see a
lot of people out there MTG out there because it's
an opportunity to say something and to get likes and
tweets and blah blah blah. It's you know, it's it's
modern politics.

Speaker 32 (01:07:42):
What we just voted on this rule. Lunasville is extremely unfortunate.
You know, being in Congress is a privilege. You don't
have to be here, and there's plenty of people in
her district that could serve in Congress if she chose
it for, you know, time to be home and be
a mother. I'm very much against the bill that she's

(01:08:02):
trying to force to the floor and the way she's
going about it, and I think it's wrong and it's
really going to open up the door to proxy voting,
which is already unconstitutional and we shouldn't be doing it.
And I think members of Congress need to basically leave
their egos at the door and realize that this is
an important job. In the same way that soldiers go

(01:08:24):
off and they're deployed overseas, they come home and actually
meet their babies for the first time, and their babies
are several months old. Members of Congress don't have to
be here. Is they don't have to be here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Oh god, she's just insufferable. It is crazy. So they're
holding up this bill. Mike Johnson's pissed about it, and
he's like, that's it. We can't do anything ever again.

Speaker 33 (01:08:48):
Let me just make this clear that rule being brought
down means that we can't have any further action on
the floor this week. That means we will not be
voting on the Save Act for Election Integrity, We will
not be voting on the road judges who are attacking
President Trump's agenda. We will not be taking down these
terrible Biden policies with the CRA votes. All that was
just wiped off the table is very unfortunate.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Well, why did you throw this in there? Why didn't
you just deal with this separately. There's a lot of
people are asking It's like, why didn't you just deal
with this thing on a separate issue. Mike Johnson not
a real name. Why didn't you just do that? I mean,
I'm curious as to why it threw it all in.
We're just going to kind of mumbo jumpoed up and

(01:09:33):
see Rep. Pauline and Luna, who's one of the Republicans
who is voting with the Democrats, ooh, oil and water
about this. It's very interesting what she had to say,
because now she is of course, you know, they'll they'll
lump her in. As she's remind everybody, I'm very conservative,

(01:09:54):
by the way, So go to point this out now
it's too late. The internet's coming for you.

Speaker 34 (01:09:59):
For a while, we've had the majority, and we've had
the ability to bring legislation to the floor on election
integrity and also to call out rogue judges. And yet
they chose at this point in time to tie this
discharge petition killer to this rule that would also permanently
paint me and the members supporting it. And I would
like to also share that I'm one of the most
conservative members of this body. I'd like to hold up

(01:10:20):
my voting record to anyone else as not just being
anti election integrity, but also enabling a position that I
don't typically agree with. That in itself, I would say
in this entire process has been the most disappointing, especially
from among my party.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
It's like high school skid over it. It's twelve weeks, yes,
but if we allow this to happen, then what you're
going to make Diane Weinstein show up? She was brain dead,
she still showed up. Somebody voted for her. How about
term limits and cognitive test once you hit a certain age,

(01:11:04):
it's twelve weeks. Well, if we allow this, okay, can't
have a conversation with anybody without it becoming insanity. Talking
today got several of your TAXX coming in about the
loss of a great actor that had a lot of
memorable roles, which was his most memorable.

Speaker 18 (01:11:27):
In nineteen ninety one, Kilmer got his breakout role playing
rockstar Jim Morrison in The Doors, solidifying his status as
a leading many. A few years later, he would start
opposite Kurt Russell in Tombstone, I'm Ja Huckelberra, and in
nineteen ninety five he would join Al Pacino and Robert

(01:11:48):
de Niro in Michael Mann's Heat. That same year, Kilmer
would get his Blockbuster moment, Dotting the Black Cow and
Batman Forever.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Let us know what you think. His best role was
a lot of people real genius going backaways. Obviously, Doc Holiday,
a lot of shout outs for that TEXTA program three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, your Twitter,

(01:12:19):
Coming up our number three. A lot of stuff still
to squeeze in. More on Wisconsin last night. Who would
have thought a Supreme Court race that was supposed to
be wink wink, nudge nudge, nonpartisan would have such an
effect on people? Talk a little bit about that. We
got more on immigration, and of course it is it's

(01:12:42):
liberation Day. You guys feel liberated, yet we're going to
talk about how liberated we all feel. Man, I'm super
excited now. Tomorrow could be non liberation Day. So just
understand whiplash could be a part of all of this liberation.
I'm not quite sure if I feel liberated.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
I'll find out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
Now are three. It is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Guess what today is? Everybody Liboration Day. Good night. Now,
that's right, It's liberation day. We're gonna be liberated from
these evil trade deficits. Finally, I was like, thank God
for that, because I was having trouble sleeping. I mean,

(01:13:53):
this is wow, the day. This is the day that
the Lord hath made. Oh yeah, you guys ready for it,
Let's do it.

Speaker 14 (01:14:04):
Looking ahead to tomorrow, April second, twenty twenty five will
go down as one of the most important days in
modern American history. Our country has been one of the
most open economies in the world, and we have the
consumer base, hands down the best consumer base. But too
many foreign countries have their markets closed to our exports.

(01:14:27):
This is fundamentally unfair. The lack of reciprocity contributes to
our large and persistent annual trade deficit that's gutted our
industries and hallowed out key workforces. But those days of
America beginning tomorrow being ripped off are over.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
They're over. I can feel it. People are rejoicing in
the streets. People are excited. No fears, no worries. This
is the day of I'm kidding, of course, of course,
there's lots of nerves. This could be great, though, I mean,

(01:15:05):
this could be awesome. We could be on a road
to go in places. That's what could happen. I honestly,
I don't know. We have a trade deficit. I get that.
That's that's partially on us, right Like little we like

(01:15:25):
cheap goods, we do. We became a price focused nation.
We didn't care about what it costs until we found
out we could get it cheaper. Then we went cheaper.
Then we found out we get it cheaper somewhere else.
Then somebody's like, screw it. To get it even cheaper
than that, I got to take it somewhere else. And
then we're like, give me some of that, give me

(01:15:47):
a little bit more than that. We're like a junkie out,
give me some of that.

Speaker 20 (01:15:50):
Give us some that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, you got socks, you got nine of
them for a dollar. Oh give me some of that.
Oh yeah, what's that over there? Is that a T shirt?
With that cost you and nickel? Ooh yeah, give me
some of that. This is how we buy stuff. Either
it costs you thirty two hundred dollars for a T
shirt or a dollar for thirty two T shirts, nothing

(01:16:11):
in between. What about the politics, because that's kind of
what it's all about. It's about the politics. It may
be the day of liberation, but the politics matter the
most in this situation, meaning how long people stay with

(01:16:31):
the president is how long you'll stay with the tariffs.

Speaker 24 (01:16:35):
Yeah, there has been a lot of internal discussion about,
you know, how far Togo, where to target, how precise
to be in targeting the tariffs, But there's a a
I mean, my reporting is that this is and this
is obvious, this is just what the president wants to do.
He's always believed firmly in tariffs, and this is not
an administration where the president's getting a ton of pushback.
And actually the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnek, has been pinpointed

(01:16:58):
as a person who inside the administration has really enabled
and encouraged this push. The concern is not just from
Republicans in competitive seats on the hill or from economists
of different parties. It's also shared by some people around
the president who are worried. And the President him self
and other aides have said, look, there is going to
be some short term pain.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
And if people understand there's short term pain and it's
short term, people I think are willing to absolutely get
president of benefit of out you have to. But it
also goes back to the politics of it, because you see,
there is an election next year, and if the politics

(01:17:41):
of this, even if it's right for us, understand that
the politics means a lot to politician, for most of
us it means nothing. So when I say that, this
is what I mean just in case you're like, what
if it's good for us that you know what, Yes,
we should be on boarding on show bring more of
these manufacturing jobs or making more stuff here, bringing certain

(01:18:05):
things home. We should be doing that. We should be
looking for a way to make ourselves more competitive with
the rest of the globe when it comes to manufacturing,
not just exporting our ideas or exporting our stock market,
if you will. We should be looking at how we
can bring stuff back here and make it here and

(01:18:26):
give better goods and services to people, bringing in revenue.
But even if that's good for us long term, if
the short term and I'm not talking about short term
being a couple of weeks, I'm talking about over the
next several months, is that the economy slows down, the

(01:18:47):
stock market stalls or takes a dip, jobs start to
get lost, we go to stagnation or recession. Ooh, everything
changes because it's politic that will decide this more than
anything else. And that politics is simply if your threshold
is here, and we blow past that, and we continue

(01:19:11):
to stay up past, well passed where your threshold was,
well you see at that point, you're thinking, I can't
survive this any longer. Trump hasn't given me the things
I need and wanted and the things he's promised, So
that means I'm going to have to make a decision
that this stuff needs to come to an end. That

(01:19:33):
means during the mid terms, I may have to vote
for some people that I may not agree with, but
it's going to help fort what's going on with this
president and all of a sudden politics changes, We're like, well,
we're going back to the way we were.

Speaker 24 (01:19:47):
Donald Trump is not a guy who's usually all about
delayed gratification.

Speaker 5 (01:19:51):
He wants the payoff now, and so.

Speaker 24 (01:19:54):
This is a little out of character and an admission
on his part to say this is going to hurt.
The question is what's Donald Trump's political pain tolerance for this.
Maybe it's a little higher than it was in his
first term, but I don't know if it's as high
as he wants.

Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
Everyone to think it is.

Speaker 24 (01:20:10):
Yeah, and there are a lot of people out there
who think, look, this is just sort.

Speaker 5 (01:20:12):
Of starting economics.

Speaker 24 (01:20:14):
This is the show, and this is the sort of
start of a negotiation.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
Says that start of a negotiation, which is also something.
And then I preface all of this with it could
go way tomorrow. So always that we've been talking about
something that may not be here tomorrow. Wake me up
in six weeks. If it's still on, the pain of
the politician will always show you which way that they're

(01:20:38):
going to try to make a move. And Trump is
great at the eighty twenty thing. If this thing really
starts to crack down on people with fixed incomes, if
this this tariff battle really starts to slow the economy
to the point where we may head into a recession
or even worse right stagflation where it's just inflation's hi,

(01:21:00):
we're not really doing anything. If we get to that
point where the struggle is just everybody feels it and
they're pissed and they're angry, they take it out because
they know they can't vote for Trump, but they can
vote against Trump when it comes to the mid terms,
and he understands that would make his last two years

(01:21:20):
a living hell. And he don't want that new three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson,
show your Twitter, your Instagram, and all of the other things.
You know, the one thing he doesn't have to worry
about right now, at this moment in time is popularity

(01:21:41):
amongst the Democrats in the world of Congress.

Speaker 35 (01:21:45):
Holy Toledo voters' views of the Democrats in Congress among
all voters disapproved sixty eight percent. And look at the
approved number, just twenty one percent, even lower than the
Democratic Party at large.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
This is the lowest on ride record.

Speaker 35 (01:22:00):
For Democrats, according to Prinipiac University Polling. You think these
numbers have bad, Let's go to this side of the screen.
We'll look how Democratic voters feel. Get this, the plurality
of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at forty
nine percent, and just forty percent approve.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Speaker 35 (01:22:19):
Oh my goodness, gracious, you just can't get worse than
these number.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
Horrible, horrible, horrible, Get your horrible over hair I love
Harriet is Oh goodness, gracious me, what.

Speaker 5 (01:22:31):
Is going on.

Speaker 35 (01:22:31):
I'll tell you what's going on. They don't like what's
coming out of some of those Senate Democrats like Chuck Schumer,
because take a look at the direction of the party.
Democratic voters on Democrats in Congress doing too little to
oppose Donald Trump. Look at this, seventy seven percent should
stay principled even if it means nothing gets done in Washington,
d C. Sixty five percent, And this sixty five percent

(01:22:52):
is such a difference from where we were in twenty
seventeen at this point when just thirty three percent of
Democrats state that should say principled, compared to fifteen nine
percent who said they want to compromise. Democrats do not
want to compromise at this point. They want a fighter.
They want to go into the ring like Muhammad Alite
did against Sunny. Listen, they want to take down the Republicans.
They do not want this compromise anymore. They want to

(01:23:12):
be more like Republicans can get up to that stage
and fight, and right now they feel like their leaders
in Congress are simply put not doing so.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
Fight fight, fight. Here's the issue. Everybody's happy now with
getting nothing. That's the loud fringes that force that, and
because of politics and because we care about the credit
more than the results, we get this ridiculous soap opera

(01:23:41):
that leads to not a lot getting done, and I
don't want a lot lot getting done where the extremes
are running everything, and we go from one extreme to
the other, which is kind of what weirdly getting until
you get to the actual getting crap did for the
American people, not just the fringe issues, but because of

(01:24:04):
the I care more about how I look, we don't
get stuff done. Democrats should have been in there with
Doge on a daily basis, going right, what are you
guys going to try to do? And fight for the
why you don't want that done? But also you should
be in there going yeah, I recognize we have a
lot of issues and we need to fix some of

(01:24:25):
this stuff and we need to streamline it and make
it better. But instead it became a battle and both
sides haven't handled it great. But it's insane to think
that you couldn't have really dealt with this in a
much more adult way, and now it's like, go in
there and fight. Okay, well, what are you fighting for?

(01:24:46):
Wasting more money? Inefficient government? If it's about the people.

the fact that, as we talked about yesterday, you have
a bill in California not named after the victim but
named after the perpetrator, that he's some working class just
a great hero Robin Hood is insane.

Speaker 10 (01:30:03):
The messaging couldn't be clearer. She and others around the
country have kind of been shocked by this public reaction,
this public sympathy that we've seen toward Mangioni. Obviously, his
cause seems to be grievances with the healthcare industry, and
what she's trying to kind of convey I believe with
this announcement is that this kind of murder and the
public aspect of it, that shocking video and the tensions

(01:30:27):
and flaring passions that it invoked. I think she wants
to make clear that this is something, at least in
their agenda, is not acceptable.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Hey man, it's not acceptable. But this is becoming a
class battle and the fact that he is being portrayed
as a hero is not a good thing. People three two, three, five,
twenty four to twenty three Act Chad Benson Show, to
your Twitter, listening to the show, the podcast Chat Benson.

Speaker 37 (01:30:53):
Jow Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Yesterday, I had a chance to get on a guy
I hope becomes a regular on here. Sam's Brad Palumbo.
He's a YouTuber, was a journalist for a long while,
The Washington Exameter, great YouTube show, a lot of fun,
independent leans a little bit right, But we talked about
a lot of things and in this world, because we're
trying to do things differently here, we want everybody to

(01:31:45):
feel like they have a place to come hang out
and talk in a logical way. One of the things
we got into yesterday was about the tribes in politics
and how it's easier to be tribal than to do
what we are doing.

Speaker 5 (01:32:00):
It is.

Speaker 38 (01:32:01):
I mean, look, if all I cared about was my career,
I would have done one of two things, gone all
aboard the Trump train in like twenty eighteen and just
become a hardcore Trump defender. Every door in the world
would have opened up to me in media, or become
total Trump hater, join the MSNBC couch because I actually

(01:32:21):
agree with him on some things, disagree with him on
other things. That's actually where it's pretty hard to be
because a lot of people will come into my content
or my show because I'm mocking crazy left wing people,
and then the second I push back on something from
Trump or the right, they're like, whoa, Brad went woke,
And I'm like, no, I didn't. You're just new here,

(01:32:43):
and so maybe you don't understand quite what this is.
But over time I have been able to build a
somewhat loyal audience of people who are interested in critical thinking.

Speaker 5 (01:32:52):
But it's just the.

Speaker 38 (01:32:53):
Cheap path is through raw partisanship sensationalism. If you actually
want to do something interesting and intellectually honest. Though I
think I maybe I'm naive. I do believe in the
long term it can be successful still, but in the
short term it is not going to instantly reward you
with massive platforms and adoration the way that it will

(01:33:13):
if you just pander to one side exclusively.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
Now playing a little bit of my interview yesterday with
Brad Palumbo, he's a YouTuber journalist. As we talk about politics,
issues of politics, and one of the things we talked
about with the extremes and whatnot is something that I
always love to talk about when it comes to how

(01:33:38):
I look at politicians, which for the most part now
the ones we do talk about are polebrities. They're interested
in being polebrities, and the one that leads it and
the one that maybe the first of the quote unquote
pelebrities is AOC. They're more interested in the how how

(01:34:00):
many followers they have, how many views they have, likes, clicks,
are they on podcasts? Where are they are they on
Charlemagne or are they on you? They're more interested in that
than who they represent and what their ideas are they're about.
They're a brand. They've become a brand.

Speaker 5 (01:34:15):
Yeah, and it's not a good brand. No. The other
thing is the Democrats are.

Speaker 38 (01:34:20):
Scared of their own shadow, in the sense that most
Americans are not radical, like woke progressives, but like a
diehard ten percent is. And those are the people they're
scared of. Those are their young staffers who they know
will revolt if they do, if they do anything that
contravenes this fringe social agenda. A great example of this,

(01:34:41):
Kamala Harris had the opportunity to go on Joe Rogan
and look, do I think this would have changed the
election result? No, but millions of people, millions of young
men in particular, men of different racial and socioeconomic background.
She could have reached and tried to make the case
for it. Part of the reason she ended up not
going she was afraid what her woke staffers would say

(01:35:03):
because Joel Rogan is transphobic or Joel Rogan is problematic
or whatever. And it's like, you're seriously that scared of
the twenty something blue hair theyvams that work in your
campaign office that you would pass up one of the
biggest media opportunities to ever exist in human history in
the peak, and just because you're afraid you might hurt

(01:35:25):
some junior level staffers feelings. It's actually pathetic and it's
political malpractice one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
And by the way, just by not going because you're
afraid of them shows me everything I need to know
of why you shouldn't be president of the United States.
If you're scared of somebody with purple hair who decided
that they don't want to actually take a side of
even their gender, then for me, I'm sorry you've lost
the opportunity to rise to the highest place in the

(01:35:53):
land and in the world, potentially being the president. Last question,
I appreciate you going on da man. I like doing
this because you know what, You're not insane, and I
deal with a lot of insanity every day. The trans thing.
You talked about that, and I've talked to Brianna wo
on several occasions. I'm sure you know Brianna and stuff,
and you know in the transgender insanity that's out there.
And my producer for ten years, who I love to death,

(01:36:14):
he's gay and he talks about it's one letter right
that we have nothing to do with that has dragged
us through this insanity. And I'm like, yeah, dude, I
get it. But it's the same thing. Right, it's a
quiet bunch of people that are you know out there

(01:36:35):
who who are gay or bisexual or lesbians who should
stand up and say, look, we've had enough of this. Right,
stay away from the kids. Right, if you're forty two
and you want to be trans, knock yourself out. I'll
protect your rights. I'll do everything you can. If you
want to talk to my six year old about the
fact that they may feel like they should be a boy,
you've jumped the shark, and I may push you into

(01:36:56):
the shark.

Speaker 38 (01:36:57):
And you know what, You're not a bigot for feeling
that way. No, No, but they actually argue that you are. Look,
what's interesting about this issue is I've been saying the
same thing since twenty eighteen. I said then, and I
say now, trans women who are biologically male and women's
sports is nuts. It's totally unfair, it's unsafe, and it's

(01:37:19):
going to rub most people the wrong way. Medically transitioning
children is radical, totally unproven scientifically, and they can't consent.
It's an absolute disaster. And then and I warned, these
things are going to cause a pendulum swing against the
entire LGBT community, and they are, and now that has

(01:37:39):
come true. And what's funny though, is that at that
time I was attacked by the far left LGBT types
for being transphobic. I was even like excommunicated from a
gay men's soccer league because they claimed that my views
on trans people, which by the way, never really discussed
at soccer practice, made hype pathetical because of course there

(01:38:01):
weren't any virtue signaling hypothetical transgender members of the team.
Unsafe that I thought we shouldn't medically transition minors. It
is a sinking ship. They are dragging it down with
this stuff. But at the same time, I know there
are some people who from a very young age experience
this intense gender dysphoria that never goes away. And as
far as I'm concerned, if as adults they want to

(01:38:23):
transition and live as if they are the other sex,
that's part of their freedom. Knock yourself out, it's no
skin off my back. But now we have such an
extreme backlash that I see genuine vitriol towards just people
like Brianna Wu who aren't hurting anybody, who are living
their life as adults. In a way that's maybe different
or maybe you or I don't understand. And now I

(01:38:44):
was taxed as transphobic. Now some people call me like
a woke pro trans lib and it's like, like, no,
it's just common sense. Leave kids alone, maintain fairness and
common sense, but also let people live the way they
want to live, within reason, and have tolerance for the
fact that we're very diverse society and people will live
in the same way. I might not understand certain people's

(01:39:04):
religious beliefs or whatever they may have. Going on, live
and let live. Now people are turning against that, but
it's been a disaster for the LGBT community. I agree
these groups don't necessarily have a ton in common, but unfortunately,
I mean, they have just been lumped together and I'm
not really sure that ship is going to be turned around.
It is a but it's a disaster of the community's

(01:39:26):
own making. They were warned, We warned them a long
time ago, and now to the extent that there is
genuine back sliding and things like support for gay marriage.
I still disagree with it. I still support gay marriage,
but it's like when you make Americans. Unfortunately, Americans can
be black and white thinkers because that's just human nature.
But when you present them with a package that is

(01:39:47):
either accept not just gay marriage, not just trans adults,
but also the mutilation of children, also trans women and
women's sports so biological males, or reject all of it, right,
because if you you agree with some of it but
not all of it, they'll still call you a bigot.
So you really have to accept all or nothing. They're
going to go with nothing. And while I mean disagree

(01:40:08):
with that to some extent, I don't exactly blame them. No,
this is terrible place the LGBT activists put this community
in and now they have to lie in the bed
that they made for themselves, and unfortunately that cuts us up,
people like me in it, which I think is a
real disgrace and a disservice.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
I do too. I think it's ridiculous, and I think
the whole thing has become a nightmare because it became
more about becoming a business and trying to force an
ideology onto people or else. It didn't become a situation
where you're educating people, talking to people, explaining what's going on,
trying to understand, which, unfortunately, man, as you know, in
this day and age, people don't want that. Appreciate you
coming on today, man.

Speaker 5 (01:40:45):
Yeah, absolutely, thanks for having me.

Speaker 18 (01:42:39):
Hollywood is remembering Thal Kilmer, best known for his roles
in Batman, Forever and The Doors.

Speaker 1 (01:42:45):
Born and raised in Los Angeles.

Speaker 18 (01:42:47):
Kilmer broke onto the Hollywood scene in the eighties, starring
in comedies like Real Genius and Top Secret.

Speaker 11 (01:42:53):
I'm sorry, I really don't know any German I know
it is German.

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
He's sting over therenineteen.

Speaker 18 (01:43:00):
Eighty six, he played Tom Cruise's rival iceman in Top Gun.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Val Kilmer's kid said he died of pneumonia. He had
struggled with cancer, had some issues afterwards, complications that included
a trake and then throat surgery that caused him did
talk like this. It was tough man to watch because
he was so awesome and he was in a ton

(01:43:25):
of roles. He was very you know what, because he
was good looking when he was younger. I think he
got overlooked as an actor, but he was in a
ton of stuff. And I asked earlier today, what do
you remember him? Ass actor wise? Like, what was the part?
You remember? So many of them? Remember in the funny movies?

(01:43:48):
He did real genius in Top Secrets, Nick Rivers, right,
He was in Willow Ghost in the Darkness, although those
two weren't comedies. Ghost in Darkness was great. He had
a ton of roles that he played, including Batman. Remember
when he was Batman, because we forget he was Batman.

(01:44:11):
But it was three words in a movie with Kurt
Russell that solidified him, immortalized him in ways that the
rest of those never did, not Iceman, not Batman, not

(01:44:31):
Nick Rivers. But as Doc, Well, I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:44:42):
Think you had it in you.

Speaker 22 (01:44:44):
I'm your huckingber Why Johnny Ringo? He looked like somebody
had just walked over your grave.

Speaker 2 (01:44:55):
Fight's not with you, Holiday, I'll beg to differ, sir.
Got of the game.

Speaker 22 (01:45:00):
We never got to finish Play for Blood.

Speaker 2 (01:45:04):
Remember, I was just fooling about they.

Speaker 19 (01:45:07):
When oh, Donny come.

Speaker 11 (01:45:27):
With no daisy?

Speaker 5 (01:45:28):
You know?

Speaker 21 (01:45:31):
Poor?

Speaker 15 (01:45:32):
So he was just too high strum.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
Love that part. Who does it mortalize Doc Holliday and
really stole the movie. The movie was about Wyater Right
and his last ride, his love story, all of that stuff,
but it was about Doc and him in their relationship.
But he stole that movie. It was I think for

(01:46:02):
all the other parts, for all the other things you did,
that was easily the part he will always be most
remembered for. Indeed, Well, today is a day of liberation.
You guys feel liberated, Yet it's going to happen. It's coming,
the liberation and you better be prepared for it and
you better like it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:22):
And those four oh one k people who are depending,
those retirees, all of that just talking plane. Speak with them. Look,
when this nation used to go to war, people in
this country would support the war effort with their materials
at home and making things for weaponry and all that.
We got to do one hundred percent. Buy in over
this bumpy period. Just communicate.

Speaker 2 (01:46:42):
It's all you got to do. Just deal with it.

Speaker 21 (01:46:45):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
If you're struggling and you're not making ends meat and
because of the tariff things you get a little bit
more expensive, damn it. You go outside and you absolutely
grow your own guarden, You raise your own animals, your
own meat. You do that. You buy into this. This
is about the future, not the past. This is about
today and tomorrow and tomorrow's tomorrow. I don't know full crap.

(01:47:10):
I have no idea. Let me tell you how much
I know. I know how tariff's work. I don't know
how tariff's work under President Trump because I don't know
how long they'll last. You could be listening to this
and within the time you started listening, it could have
changed several different times. Several different times it could have changed.

(01:47:31):
So we will see how this plays itself out. There's
no doubt though people are worried, and as goes the economy,
so goes not just the presidency and the administration, but
as goes the economy, so goes the midterms. Because if

(01:47:52):
the struggle lasts a long time, and I'm not saying
there's going to be a struggle, because I'm not even
say there's going to be tariffs that actually go on.
But if the struggle happens to come and people's stresholder

(01:48:13):
here and it goes past that and it doesn't seem
to come, it doesn't seem to be transitory, that's going
to be an issue that will cost in the next
election the midterms. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
