The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Tariff of Palooza, Liberation Day, all of the things, How
is it working out? Will there be a tariff battle
going on? Will China come back and throw tariffs in
our face? All of these things will be answered right now.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Just moments ago, China announced they are striking back against
US tariffs. China imposing twenty four percent tariffs on all
imports from the United States. That's going to start on
April tenth. Right now, the US is putting tariffs that
total fifty four percent on Chinese goods.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
There we go. The battle is on. The battle is on.
It's not just and I'll say it again, and I'll
say it again and again. Part of this is on us.
It's consumption. We're addicted to stuff, we like, cheap goods.
It's the way that we've always kind of acted, and
I don't expect that to change anytime soon. I don't
know how long these things will last. I don't think

(01:11):
anybody does. I think part of it is negotiation tool absolutely.
I think part of it is trying to level the
playing field. I also think that you know, Trump has
sold on this. This is something he has been sold
on for a very long time. The thing is that
what you may be sold on thirty years ago and
what you hope you may want to do because of

(01:31):
the ever changing world, especially with technology, may not be
something that can come to fruition. But it is a risk,
there's no doubt about it. But this is Trump's risk.
So let's go for it. Give him the opportunity. What
else are you going to do? It's already in play

(01:54):
and the plane ain't turning around right now.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Political take right now is I think that people are
freaking out of about the tariffs unnecessarily. I think it
could be the best thing that has happened to this
country in one hundred and thirty five years. I don't
know if you're aware or not, but in eighteen ninety,
there was no sales tax, there was no income tux,
there was no property tucks. There were only tariffs on

(02:18):
what was coming into the country. And in eighteen ninety
the Congress had to convene a special commission to figure
out what to do with the surplus money. They had
never had such a huge surplus.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's a different time, though times have changed. You go
back to then, we also had the horse and buggy
things of that nature.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
We have changed.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
We've moved on from the horse and buggy to the car,
and the airplane and space flights were global. Now it's
a lot different. There's no doubt about that. It is
a lot different. So you know when everybody goes back to, well,
we did this then, and what about that, and we

(02:57):
did this and those were different times. Those were different times,
and we have since advance and we're not going to
go backwards. And I still think we're not going backwards
when it comes to our consumption of cheap goods.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
So I would not be surprised if Trump being a businessman,
whether you agree he is a good businessman, he doesn't quit.
He keeps going, which you know, Winston Churchill has once
said that success is going from failure to failure without
losing enthusiasm. So he's failed in business. But I'm willing

(03:33):
to give him.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
A chance, and we're going to have that now. I
don't know how long they're gonna last. I continue to
say that because some of them probably will.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Some of them. Is absolutely a negotiation tool.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I think there's more to it with China and a
few other ones, as the battle is going to go on.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
There and this whole thing in the math.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't know if you guys have seen the math right,
the math problem, the equation.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
How they came up with something is farcical, but it's
got Greek letters. It's like there's a picture. It is
at best.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I don't again, we'll see what happens. I want him
to succeed. Here's the other side of it, all right,
like the business side, the stock market obviously know what's
gonna happen, but that's going to fluctuate. What do people think?
Do they care? Is this something that was on their mind?

Speaker 6 (04:33):
Do Americans feel like there should be or where does
this reordering of the global economic order rank?

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Look at this should be a high priority for Trump
number one, the economy at eighty two, number two, inflecation
eighty Look at this, Tariffs eight out of eight on
the list in terms of things that should be a
high priority for Donald Trump at just thirty percent, fifty
points less than inflation. Americans want simply put nothing to
do with it. Yet Trump decides to keep pushing forward.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Right or wrong.

Speaker 6 (04:59):
I think it is safe to say this is a
huge political risk. He is taking one hundred percent. This
could be a risk that ends up ending his presidency
in my.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Mind, or it could be something that turns out to
be great myself. I feel like it's gonna slow some
things down. There's gonna be some you know, some people
who are nervous, like as John Kennedy would say, they're
nervous like a long tail, cats and a room full
of rock and chairs with fat people in him through
the fat people thing in there. And if you're a
nutritional overachiever, I apologize for that. But there's definitely something

(05:31):
to that side of it, there's no doubt. But it's
about the politics as much as anything else. Because if
this doesn't go the way Trump wants, if it doesn't
go the way that he believes it's gonna go, does
he pivot?

Speaker 5 (05:46):
And at what point does he pivot?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Because that has to happen at some point in time,
as you know, if things aren't going to roll the
way that he wants them to roll. Because it's not
about him. It's going to be about him after the midterms,
but it'll be about the people before that, meaning his party,
the Republicans, because if they start getting signals that they

(06:15):
could lose their gig, did they start coming out and
saying yeah, I want no part of that.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Harry, the Press Secretary criticized the people she calls the
naysayers when it comes to each sureers.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
The naysayers are the majority of the American public. It's
the American people who are the naysayers. Oppose new tariffs
on other countries all goods. Look at this, fifty six
percent of Americans oppose new tariffs on all goods. How
about cars in particular, fifty six percent of Americans oppose
new tariffs on imported cars and park car parts. Look,

(06:52):
the bottom line is the American people oppose, oppose, oppose, no, no, no.
They do not want new tariffs.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
They do not want Nobody wants new tariffs. Nobody does,
especially if they think it's going to cost them more.

Speaker 8 (07:06):
So.

Speaker 7 (07:07):
I looked at a ton of polling. It's really hard
to find any in which you find folks supporting your tariffs.
Maybe against China, but against all other countries, especially our allies. No, no, no,
a pose A pose a post.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Do I oppose them. I'm never a big fan of tariffs.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
And you know what, there's two types of trade that
goes on, one of which is not talked about, which
is the service side. We for the most part, have
quite a large surplus of what we call.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Service trade.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
So there's the hard goods, and then there's service trade
that's things like banking, investment, spending by foreign tourists, you know, software,
cloud computing, streaming rights, etcetera, etcetera, shipping, air, cargo, logistics.
We've got a huge surplus in that. In fact, on
average we're averaging about two hundred and sixty billion plus

(08:03):
a year to the good it's the other side of it,
because we like cheap goods, so we import a bunch
of crap.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
That's what happens, not a shocker.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Got a strong economy, the strongest in the world, Our
dollars strong, it's stable. Most people around the globe have
the dollar as the reserve currency, so they've got plenty
of it. Then you've got weak economies, poor economies, and
you know, so there were in some ways, we're always

(08:34):
going to run certain deficits because well, we're going to
be importing the cheap goods from there, and they're not
going to be importing really anything from us because they
can't afford it. So that's just I mean, you know,
it's dollars and cents The real thing is how does
it affect you? If this goes south? The Republicans will

(08:58):
pay the price if it doesn't awesome.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I don't want it to go south. I want it
to be good. I want it to be rocking. I
want it to be rolling. I want us to be in.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
A situation where we are loving every second of all
this great money we're bringing in, and it's incredible. We've
never had it this way. It's just amazing. I don't
know what that looks like though, in two or three weeks,
because some of these tariffs will be gone. I think
that Japan thing is interesting. I think the Korea thing

(09:33):
is interesting, but China, obviously, this is a battle that
is a lot of different things. But politics will play
this thing out because it's politics, and it will decide
far more than anything else.

Speaker 9 (09:51):
We're in uncharted waters.

Speaker 10 (09:54):
Tariffs are more art, in my opinion, than science.

Speaker 11 (10:00):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
Tear tariffs are like whiskey.

Speaker 10 (10:03):
A little whiskey under the right circumstances can be refreshing.
Too much whiskey under the wrong circumstances, uh, and you
end up drunk as a goat. We just don't know
right now, but we'll know within the next six months.
If it works, let's let's let's take a dozen. If

(10:27):
it doesn't work, the President's going to have to recap.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Right, we'll find out what that looks like. I hope
it works.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I also understand politics will play a bigger role in this,
even if it's good for us. Politics will play the
biggest role in deciding how long these things last. Because
if there is an upward trajectory and we're kicking butt,

(10:57):
then you know what, Like you said, give a dozen
and keep it going. But if things slow down, people
get jittery. When it comes to the economy. We see
a real slow down when it comes to hiring, it
maybe even mass layoffs or at least temporary layoffs for
a while while these things work themselves out. We're seeing

(11:17):
some of that, and we're seeing goods go up and
spending really coming down and the potential to go into recession.
The politics of that, even if long term this would
be good for us, the politics will say to stay
in power the way you want, you're gonna have to
pivot three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three At Chad Benson's show, is your Twitter tweet

Oh my god, penguins crazy, what a week, right, And
yes he did put tariffs on penguins, as you would
do because they're penguins.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Coming up, actor Billy Baldwin joins the program talk about
a new movie. It is called Fentonal Death Incorporated and
it is gripping and interesting to say the least.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
He joins the program straight Ahead, Chad Benson, Shoe Son
Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Joining the program now is doctor Marbaret, the producer of
the movie Fentanyl Death Incorporated, as well as actor Billy Baldwin,
who voices the entire documentary, which is fascinating and sad,
but something I think everybody should take a look at.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
And see because it is scary.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
How much this has gotten into our society and the
damage it has done.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
Doctor Marbaret, Why this movie, why this subject.

Speaker 21 (18:35):
There's nothing that's as much of the existential threat entire
country right now as fentanyl. More people have died in
the last three and a half four years on fentanyl
than all the American men and women's service in the
last one hundred years of war. So think about that
World War two, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Vietnam, Golf War one,
Golf War two, Global War, and tear at them all up.

(18:58):
More people, more Americans have died because of fentanyl than
our servicemen.

Speaker 22 (19:02):
Fifty eight thousand plus died in fifteen years in Vietnam,
and one hundred thousand died from ventanyl last year.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
You know, I was watching a couple of interviews you
guys were given about this, and you were talking about,
you know, our population compared to the world, but our
consumption and the death is so we have a consumption
problem as much as anything else.

Speaker 22 (19:21):
We have to address it from the supply side of
the demand side. We have to work with the Chinese government,
the Mexican government, the Canadian government. This is as much,
almost as much coming in over the Canadian border, as
there is over the Mexican border. So we have to
work on the on the supply side with all three
of those countries, but we have to work on the
demand side. We have four percent of the world's population,
thirty eight percent of the global consumption of fentanyl and

(19:42):
sixty six percent of the global deaths from ventanyl with
four percent of the population.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Which is is it is frightening and the trailer and
for me it's it's important. My my mother was an alcoholic.
My dad died of he had a heart to take it.
It was like a fifth of drug overdose. And this
was back before feentanyl was the long before it was
the thing. We've got a huge problem and we need
to figure this thing out because it is a true
threat and because it's people that are nameless, faceless, and

(20:10):
we stick them somewhere and you hope you don't see them.
It's tough to get because that's somebody's daughter, that's somebody's son,
is somebody's husband and wife.

Speaker 21 (20:17):
And think about nineteen fifty, there were half a million
government funded mental health beds in America nineteen fifty. Our
country is what trice is big down now and we
have less than thirty thousand government funded mental health beds
in America, and almost all those are forensic beds. And
so where did the untreated mental illness go in America?
It's gone to the emergency rooms, it's gone to the jail,

(20:39):
it's gone to the streets. And that's why a lot
of people have a misconception, especially on my side of
the table. I'm on the right side, Billy's on the left,
but on the right side there a lot of people say,
this is substance, you'se driven. It's really untreated mental illness
in yourself medicating because there's nobody.

Speaker 15 (20:58):
Getting much dressed with this stuff. And then agains and
fentanyl has just changed this.

Speaker 22 (21:02):
Well you ask them, yeah, I mean fetanyl and covid
have homeless has went from four thousand to seventeen thousand
in Sacramento, won from fifty four thousand to seventy six
thousand in La County. And now you have sort of
the compassionate component that's always been there saying we have
to help these people in some way, and now all
of a sudden, because the numbers have gotten so bad
because of fetanyl and covid, and it doesn't discriminate. The

(21:25):
woman who founded YouTube is a billionaire. Her son overdosed
at Berkeley a year are ago.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Nobody cares like black, white, gay, straight, Republican demigration or
it doesn't matter.

Speaker 22 (21:35):
It does not discriminate. So it's getting more and more
people's attention for that reason. But it's also getting their
attention because it's now not the people that you sweep
under the carpet that you don't see every day. It's
now when you when I explain to people what it
might take. I'm not an expert on this, but I've
learned a lot over about it over the years. And
when I explain the type of care that's required, the

(21:55):
type of care that his facility in San Antonio, Haven
for Hope is doing for the people there, seventy percent
plus success rate, comprehensive wrap around type of care, mental health,
addiction treatment, job training, job placement, you know, livable wages,
affordable housing, all of that stuff that gets seventy percent
of them back on their feet, self sufficient, independent, requiring

(22:16):
no more services. They're like, oh, that sounds awfully expensive,
and I'm like, well, it's costing you more right now
to not do enough. Because there's a nine to one
one call, and when we were in a Spokane there
was a nine to one one call for the same
person six times in one day. So then you deploy
the fire department, the police department, the sheriff, the paramedics.
Then they go to the emergency room, then they're admitted,

(22:37):
then they go into the court system, and then they're incarcerated.

Speaker 15 (22:41):
Then you go downtown.

Speaker 22 (22:42):
It's small business administration, Department of Commerce, Department of Tourism.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Property values dropping, So it's affecting.

Speaker 22 (22:48):
You have a compassionate component to it, and you have
a quality of life, an economic argument.

Speaker 15 (22:55):
To be made as well.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Absolutely, talking to Billy Baldwin and doctor Marbatt, they've got
the new documentary, the must see it's called Fennel Death Incorporated.
This didn't start out of nowhere, especially with fentanyl, and
a lot of it started because we had a huge
opioid crisis and people were hunting and craving more and
that has been a disaster and it's led to fentanyl cheap,
easy and deadly.

Speaker 21 (23:17):
There's a direct tie from the Purdue pharma crisis.

Speaker 23 (23:21):
Of course.

Speaker 15 (23:21):
Yeah, fourteen years ago.

Speaker 21 (23:22):
This is really recent, just fourteen years ago, and when
all the lawsuits happened, the dock stops prescribing, the pharmacy
stopped giving it out, the hospitals stopped using it. What
happened was the Mexican cartel said, we already have a
supply chain in with meth. We're already bringing in another product.
So they already had the supply chain built and they

(23:44):
worked with the Chinese and immediately, like within months, we're
able to backfill that supply. And remember, we had millions
of people on prescriptions with oxycotton type synthetic opioids, hundreds
of thousands addicted. And so the cartels, they're in city
group of people, but they're incredible entrepreneurs, and they just said,
we're already there. We can backfill this and put it in,

(24:07):
and that's why it ramped up so so fast.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
We're talking to doctor Robert Marbert, producer of the movie
Fentanyl Death Incorporated, as well as Billy Baldwin. Billy, what
made you want to get involved with this movie?

Speaker 22 (24:23):
Well, of course, the subject matter, it's just been uh,
you know, I've never seen between COVID and fentanyl. I've
never seen something affect our society and affect our economy
and the psyche of America faster than fentanyl when COVID did,
It's just exacerbated and compounded a.

Speaker 15 (24:39):
Problem that was already there.

Speaker 22 (24:41):
We have a fentanyl drug problem, we have a homelessness problem,
but we really have a severe mental health crisis and
we have to address that in a very meaningful way.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Doctor, you do this, I mean you see this, You're
you're on the right side of the aisle you talk
about and again, this is this isn't politics, this is
just life. What have you seen over the last week
We were talk talking before this, Like my buddy lived
in Portugal for a long time.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
He came over, we were up in San Francisco. He's like, man,
we don't have any of this.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
They decriminalized it and they made it so though you
don't do it on the streets, you have to go
through partial treatment as you get any of these drugs,
and if you're caught with the drugs out, you pay
the price for its.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
Somehow that went away and it's not the same.

Speaker 21 (25:21):
Yeah, and a lot of people have you know, go
to Amsterdam and say, oh they legalize they actually haven't.
It's actually a very controlled process. Now, low end stuff
you can do at the coffee shop. But if you're
talking about something like fentanyl or math, you have to
be in a treatment program. You have to have accountability.
It's compassion with accountability together. And there's tendency on my

(25:44):
side of the aisle say let's don't fund it. There
it's their choice. We're already spending so much money in this,
in our emergency response system, our nine to one one,
our jails, our medical centers, our ers. We're already spending
the money, so why not spend the money that are
on the right and on the left really needs to
say allow for a compassion with accountability, we have to

(26:07):
add some strings with the treatment.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
I think lowering it to a misdemeanor was a mistake.

Speaker 15 (26:12):
I think it should be a felony.

Speaker 22 (26:13):
In the old days, when my father was a kid
in the forties and fifties, judges would say, you're in trouble.
You're either going to prison or you're going to go
to the army. They'll straighten your butt out. And a
lot of people the right candidates for that. You don't
just throw anybody in the military, the people that could
be sick.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
And I think that these.

Speaker 22 (26:30):
These these misdemeanor drug issues should be felonies, and then
they should be given an option. Do you want to
go do time in prison or do you want to
go to rehab for six months and have a chance
to turn your life around? And that would be one
of a pilot program that I think would be worth
experimenting with.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Absolutely one of the things though, and I've got young kids.
I've got, you know, sixteen year old, a couple of
fourteen year olds and a six year old. One of
the things that scares me, and I talked to Eric
Bowling about this a few years ago, it's the one
pill can kill these kids. Nowadays, Fentanyl is as frightening
as a game, and they have no idea what they're taking.
They're thinking they're getting an adderall or a ridlin and

(27:04):
the next thing you know, their life is over and
done with. And that is terrifying.

Speaker 21 (27:08):
It is the fastest growing death rate of children's zero
to four ist fentanyl.

Speaker 15 (27:15):
That's just mind boggling to me how we got here.

Speaker 22 (27:17):
And the number one cause of death between eighteen and
forty five, more than cancer and heart disease, is fentanyl
right now.

Speaker 21 (27:23):
And it's because two to three grains salt equivalent of
fentanyl will kill one person. One rice grain will kill fifteen.
We've never seen something that on the street, this potent.
A sugar packet can kill five hundred people. Yeah, packet
of sugar, if it was fentanyl, would kill five hundred people.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
I remember watching a documentary kind of like you know,
Seattle's Burning whatever that documentary was, but there was. It
was in San Francisco and a guy, these guys are
looking for some drugs and this drugg he goes, give
me your twenty bucks. I'll go get your drugs, because
they were going to buy from another guy, and he
went and got them drugs. He says, there's no fentanyl
in this. If you guys would have smoked that, both
of you guys would have been dead immediately. It is

(28:00):
It is terrifying because it is such a this isn't
your mom and dad's kind of party.

Speaker 21 (28:05):
And all the other drug illicita drugs on the street,
I mean all the way from weed to math and
trank and all these other things that DA is finding
about seventy percent of it is now laced with fentanyl,
just with cross contamination. Because the drug dealers one day
are making fentanyl and the next day they're making math
and the next day they're making K two spice. So

(28:27):
they're not sitting there in a clean lab cleaning down
the table, so the fentanyl dust is still there. And
so this cross contamination is becoming a huge problem, and
a lot of the increasing desks are not even being
reported as fentanyl, the being reported as another drug because
it's cross contamination.

Speaker 22 (28:44):
In the documentary, there's a young girl talking about her
friend who didn't do drugs at all ever, and she
went to a sorority party. She had a glass of
champagne too much. She woke up the next day with
a hangover. Asked her housemates, I have a split headache
from a hangover. They just handed her pillars that take this,
it'll take care of it. She thought it was extra

(29:04):
strength tiltal or something or advilain.

Speaker 11 (29:06):
It wound up being.

Speaker 22 (29:09):
A street oxycoton or something, a painkiller. That was Lasa's fentanyl,
and she took it and never woke up nineteen years old.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
You know, somebody is just asked why fentanyl, Like, why
is the fentanyl so easy? Why is it out there?
When you know you think about the why is it
put inside of all this? Why would anybody even think
about taking it.

Speaker 15 (29:27):
Well, and that's what the suppliers are having a problem.

Speaker 21 (29:30):
They've tried to dilute it down, and they're really working
to dilute it because in the beginning, the first three
or four years of market, people are one pilling down. Yeah,
you're killing your customers. Yes, it's not good business model.
And so they have been trying to dilute it and
dilute it. But fentanyl is so powerful, so potent. We've
had one hundred times more powerful than morphine, So you

(29:52):
can't You got to have microscopic lab equipment to get
it that precise. So now they're starting to dilute it
with other things. And so you know in Philadelphia particular,
that sort of became the center of traink which is
thirty percent horse tranquilizers and seventy percent fendl This is insane.
This is like out of control. And and now they're

(30:15):
with the cross contamination. Some people are purposely lacing this.

Speaker 22 (30:20):
The dealers will give it, will give it away for
free to hook you to get your hook. You walk
around the streets of Vancouver and Seattle, Spokana. They'll give
it away for free. You take this once or twice
you're done, and then you're buying it. And it's not
like the old days one hundred dollars a gram. This
is you get one of these pills for two or
three dollars. Yeah, and people are doing it every four
or five, six hours. And part of it in the

(30:42):
beginning the business model was margin. It was like thirty
five dollars per pill.

Speaker 21 (30:47):
Now most pills around the country are running about eighty
seven cents, so it's dropped. This is why the invention
of the biker gangs in Canada coming in. They just
started to compete with the Mexican cartel and so in demand.
So when they came in, it was no longer you know,
a sort of monopoly out of Mexico. So now you've

(31:07):
got stuff coming in and you're starting to get local
street gangs starting to make it themselves and starting to
go online get all the chemicals themselves and making it.
So that's what's driven the price down. So this is
the most potent drug ever on the street and one
of the cheapest drugs ever on the street.

Speaker 24 (33:22):
Deep stinks note Deep Doo doo e the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
This could be good, it could be awful. We're gonna
find out. I mean, come on, you're taking over for
one of the great comedic folks of my young adult life.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Can you handle it?

Speaker 15 (33:45):
Liam?

Speaker 9 (33:46):
Who are you Frank Dreben please squad.

Speaker 25 (33:51):
The new version, Liam Neeson takes over from Leslie Nielsen
as the star of the upcoming sequel to The Naked Gun,
which we're getting our first look at new trailer. Famela
Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser are also on the case,
with Family Guide creator Seth McFarland in the producer's chair.
The Naked Gun hits theaters August first.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Could be interesting, could be awful, You never know.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Speaking of awful, Disney looked at how bad snow White bombed,
and they scrapped another live action Princess remake, which was
going to be a reimagining of Tangled Rapunzel because there
was that twenty ten hit by the way, Tangled, and
they're like, well, we're not going to do that.

Speaker 13 (34:34):
Why.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Well, because we had this great grand plan that you know, Rapunzel,
Tangled was going to be a black man, and we
didn't think that was going to work. Or you could
just stick to whatever it was that made you know,
I don't know, Tangled good. If you're going to do
live action and go from there, it shouldn't be this hard.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
It shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
But Disney, you guys make it hard because you allow
people who live in an echo chamber of liberal progressive
insanity to drive the narrative and what happens. They do
stuff that they think they and their friends, or they
them and their friends would want to see, and in

(35:21):
doing so you find out that they them are the
only folks that want to see it, and not the
rest of the country. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Also, if
you're missing the show, make sure you grab the podcast.
Really helps us out right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up our number two, a lot of stuff to

(35:43):
get to What is Laura Lumer doing at the White House.
We're going to talk a little bit about that. I know,
I know, guys, I trust me. I get it, I
get it, I get it. We're also going to have
the Wheel of Surprise more on Austin Metcalf, the young

(36:03):
Texas football player who has stabbed to death.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
That story gains more and more attraction.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
We're going to talk a little bit more about that
as well a bunch of other things to get to
reach out across all of our social media. Make sure
you check out our YouTube, like and subscribe there The
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:52):
We talk about a lot of stuff on the show
because that's what we do. We talk about life. And
something took place the other day in Frisco, Frisco, Texas,
and it is starting to garner some national attention.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
We touched on it, but it deserves a deep dive.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
And if you guys haven't heard the story, it is
a story of tragedy in a lot of different ways,
of a young life being lost and somebody else who's
ruined his life forever. It's also about a story of forgiveness.
And I get frustrated because I know where everybody starts

(37:42):
to go with this. So Austin Metcalf seventeen, twin brother, right,
got everything going for them, getting ready to head into
their senior year. Dude's gonna have a chance to play
D one football. Maybe it's got a four point I know,
life seems to be great.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
Track meet.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Gets into dispute, gets stabbed, dies in his twin brother's arms,
and then of course the battle begins. It's black versus white,
it's politics, it's this, that and the other. This is
his father actually wanting to shut all of that down.

Speaker 26 (38:26):
Now, I want to clarify something brought off the start
because I've already heard some rumors and gossip. This was
not a race thing. This is not a political thing.
Please do not comment if you do not know what happened.
Try do not turn this into a racial thing.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
It was not.

Speaker 15 (38:43):
Do not politicize this. It's not.

Speaker 26 (38:45):
This is a human being thing. This person made a
bad choice and affected both his family and my family forever.
It's a very unfortunate thing. But I know exactly what
was happening. His brother was there who tried to save him,
and he died in his arms.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Well, unfortunately, you live in a time when everybody turns
everything into politics, and it was something that shouldn't have happened.
It's a track meet, for God's sakes, and you got
stabbed at a track meet on a Wednesday for what.

Speaker 9 (39:26):
So it was a really bad storm.

Speaker 8 (39:29):
In the morning and they had a lot of the
lace and me and my brother, a couple of kids
were walking back from the fieldhouse all the middle school
because he attended that middle school when we went to
middle school, and we were saying aho else. All coaches
and catching up with them, and then we're walking back
to our sand. We put our tent up, so all
the bleachers right there were now wet from all the rain.

(39:50):
We come back, we sit down and this kid says
something behind me. I've never met this skit in on time.
I've never knew he was. Says something just inappropriate and
uh uncalled for and I turned around and asked him.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Who he was.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
He started getting really aggressive, my brother staid, and he
started being.

Speaker 15 (40:08):
You know how hell he always is with me.

Speaker 8 (40:10):
His brothers just hoping my back and thinks. Things started
getting more like higher intensity. And the kids said, there's
some like aggressive self rightless stuff. You also trying to
handle the problem.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
And then he got stabbed and he died.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
And we were talking yesterday about the manisphere and why
do kids nowadays think they've got to settle everything through violence.

Speaker 11 (40:38):
It is.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Beyond frustrating. And I've already seen you know, I mean,
why isn't this getting covered more? Why isn't this getting
covered the way it should be. Why isn't this a
national story? It's becoming a national story, it is. And
one of the reasons things like this become a national
story is because there is a force in play to

(41:00):
make it about race or to make it about politics.
It's a tragedy, it's a crime.

Speaker 12 (41:08):
It is.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Devastating Austin's father, by the way, because within hours doing
an interview, he said, look, I forgive him, and he
doubled down on that yesterday, which I find once again,
in this day and age, you don't hear.

Speaker 13 (41:30):
A lot of this.

Speaker 26 (41:31):
People ask me, how can you forgive what to this
other person? I forgive the other person because the forgiveness
is not for him. The forgiveness is for me, so
I can have peace. His life is destroyed, My life
is destroyed. It's an unfortunate, tragic tragedy to affect us

(41:51):
for the rest of our lives. I want to get
the word out so maybe parents can educate their children
to where this doesn't happen to someone else. Sinceus, acts
of violence in this world have become more I don't
want to say acceptable, but I think today's society is
more calloused to all these to all.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
The things agreed.

Speaker 27 (42:16):
It's a.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Frustrating thing because could race have played an issue? Of course,
could politics have played an issue? I don't know how
politics play an issue, but you know where it plays
an issue though, is the aftermath losing your son I
couldn't even comprehend, losing your twin brother, couldn't even comprehend.

(42:43):
And as much as the father doesn't want to make
it about politics, it's going to be. It's going to
be about politics. It's going to be about race. People
are going to take their sides. Nobody needs to know
the story, and that is frustrating because two people, his
families lives are upended. One of them is going to
spend forever in jail for a crime that should never

(43:06):
have happened. And the question is, as the father asked
the other day, who's his family? Nobody is really talking
about the killer. His dad wanted to know about the
fact that his kid got stabbed. Why is one thing,
but the family did. How did he get here? How

(43:28):
did how did this kid get to the point where
he's at a track meet on a Wednesday and stab
somebody over a fight in a tent?

Speaker 5 (43:39):
What could have possibly happened?

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Why?

Speaker 5 (43:43):
We aren't going to know for a while.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
The politics, well, the minute this thing hit the news,
the politics was always going to be there. And that's
frustrating because nobody's interested in the truth, which is it's
the hell out of me. People are interested in the
did I get points from my point of view.

Speaker 5 (44:08):
On the internet? Did I get points from my point
of view for my team and my tribe? That's what
they want to know.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chadmnson Show. Is your Twitter tweet at us
text the program. Love hearing from all of you. It's
about the economy, stupid as we move on and jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.

Speaker 28 (44:34):
Total non farm payroll employment rose by two hundred and
twenty eight thousand in March, nearly one hundred thousand jobs
over the consensus. Job gains came in healthcare, transportation, and warehousing.
Considering sweeping dog layoffs. Federal government employment declined despite the
unexpected gains. The nation's unemployment rate last month was little
changed at four point two percent.

Speaker 5 (44:55):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
So that's good lacking indicator because next month, obviously, with
the tariffs and everything going in, we'll have to see
what that looks like. And the tariffs may or may
not have an effect, because you know what, a month
orm now, there may not be any tariffs because you
just don't know.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
At this moment in time how this is gonna play
itself out. What I do know is it's.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
The beginning of something. Could it be great, absolutely, Could
it be bad? It's a possibility. Will politics be involved,
of course it will. But this is gonna take time
to work itself out, and it may take a much
longer time. If the tariffs are on and they're on

(45:45):
for good, it may be a mixed bag where tariffs
stay on over here, but they're removed over here. We're
gonna find that out again over time.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
What I hear from you is that there isn't room
for negotiation. Is that right he said to the president?

Speaker 29 (46:03):
Was I said very clearly, the President is not going
to back off.

Speaker 9 (46:07):
So he's not back off.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
But what he announced yesterday he is not going to
back off. That is not bad.

Speaker 9 (46:12):
Nothing could change that.

Speaker 29 (46:13):
But countries can fix their tariffs their non tariff trade barriers,
which are much much rougher.

Speaker 5 (46:23):
Much much rougher. Continue, mister Ludnik.

Speaker 29 (46:25):
In twenty twelve, when I grew up, there was no
Korean cars in America. When we took cars from Korea,
the deal was we could sell ag to Korea.

Speaker 23 (46:33):
That was the deal.

Speaker 29 (46:34):
They wouldn't let McDonald's bring in French fries because they
couldn't prove the origin of the French fry.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
That is not a tariff. That is called a non
tariff trade barrier.

Speaker 29 (46:44):
They take their taxes and they subsidize their steel industry,
or they subsidize their energy, or they subsidize they give
the tax back to their car manufacture.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
This stuff has got to stop.

Speaker 9 (46:55):
America's got to stop being exploited.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
And you're going to see America.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Prosper America is pretty damn prosperous. Nobody else is close
to what we are. But could we be better? Of
course everything could be better, But could it get worse?
We'll see, as the old Chinese farmer parable says, We'll see.

Speaker 29 (47:19):
And then and only then will Donald Trump make a
deal with each country when they've really really changed their ways.

Speaker 9 (47:27):
Then the road.

Speaker 13 (47:30):
But not off.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
And that's not off, No, that's not back off. That's hey,
we've got enough. You guys have decided to get rid
of your tariffs. And for that, okay, that's not so
much backing off. Backing off though, may come if the
politics don't go the right way, as we all recognize,

(47:54):
and if the politics start to go the wrong way,
well then and the risk of losing the midterms. Ye,
you don't want any of those things because if those
things show up next thing, you know, you've got two
years left as a really a lame duck and potentially
a sitting duck. As the Democrats who could potentially control everything.
Just look at you and say, all right, then, how

(48:16):
do we impeach you?

Speaker 13 (48:17):
This time?

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Chad Benson, Dick Dick Dick Doc.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
Will It Go Away?

Speaker 30 (49:55):
There are so many calls happening right now behind the scenes,
and because we're expecting extension, they would then have a
longer period of time to hash all of this out.
What I'm hearing from a source close to the deal
is that the Trump administration has been considering a variety
of proposals and that this week he met with top
officials to go through them. One of those possible deals
would have China actually maintaining control of the algorithm that

(50:18):
would be leased to a US company that would have
a minority ownership stake.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Interesting but we're leasing it. I'm curious about this. So
they still hold on to everything. They don't want to
give up that algorithm that is a guarded secret they
considered a national security secret, so kind of sort of
leasing it.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
I'm was there an option to buy.

Speaker 30 (50:43):
What I'm hearing from sources is that buyers are demanding
liability protection. They're only willing to pour billions on TikTok
if there are guarantees that they're not just going to
be sued by the next administration. And as we get
closer and closer to this deadline, so many buyers jumping in.
You now have Amazon throwing their hat into the ring.
There's Tech Giant, Oracle, you know, they've all thrown their

(51:05):
hats into the ring.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
App Loving as well. I think the guy from Only
Fans who owns it is throwing his name into the ring.
So I don't know what kind of deal gets done.
And this is all predicated that China is willing to
do this in some way, shape or form. And then
with the battle of tariffs, and obviously with China's done
today is they've added tariffs on top of the it's

(51:28):
these like.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
This, Yeah, let's do this, let's get this done. I
have no idea. It's go and get done.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
And that's gonna make a lot of people nervous over
the weekend. Remember in January when it went away for
a day and people are like, I don't even know
what to do with myself.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
What am I gonna do? No idea, what you're gonna do?
It sounds like a personal problem.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
I mean, there's other things out there, But do I
understand why people I enjoyed looking at the tiktoks.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
It's fun. I enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
That being said, it was never about the information. I've
always said that It's never about stealing the info. China's
doing that every day in every way, shape or form.
It was always about the trying to infiltrate our society,
especially amongst the young three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is

(52:21):
your Twitter tweet?

Speaker 5 (52:22):
At is texted program?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Right here on The Chad Benson Show, and in doing so,
taking their eye off the ball, pushing propaganda about how
bad America is. That was a bigger issue to me
than you know, whether or not they were trying to
steal data and info, because we know they're doing that. Meanwhile,

(52:46):
Donald Trump apparently has Laura Lumer looming about, and she's
taking credit yet not taking credit for maybe a few
staff members being let go who aren't loyal to Trump.

Speaker 31 (53:00):
General Timothy Hawk has been fired as director of the
National Security Agency. Now Hawk has also been removed as
head of US cybersecurity at the Pentagon. Trump said he
had fired some national security officials, but did not say
exactly who. The firings came after he met with far
right activists Laura Lumer, where Lumer reportedly urged Trump to
purge any staffers that she deemed not loyal to his agenda.

(53:23):
Lumer is known for spreading conspiracy theory. Trump said he
sometimes takes Lumour's advice, but denied that she was responsible
for the firings.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
She denied it, but yet kind of took credit for it.

Speaker 13 (53:34):
Who she is?

Speaker 32 (53:35):
Somebody who advised Trump on the campaign trail. You remember
seeing her at times flying on Trump's plane with him.
She has remained a force in Donald Trump's ear on
all sorts of various different issues. She's known to obviously
peddle some conspiracy theories. We do know that, but we
do also know that she does have significant ties to

(53:57):
the White House, and she is somebody who President Trump
taught to oft.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Yeah, if she was four hundred pounds, he wouldn't. Chad,
are you saying it's because she's pretty? I'm saying there's
a chance three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three That Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet
at a texta program, wheel of Surprise, trad ahead, Chat.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Show, the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
It is that time of the show. You guys are
new to the show, we called the wheel of Surprise.
Now you're saying yourself, that was the wheel of surprise. Well,
this is where we have numbered the stories, but we
have no idea what the stories are.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
So we spin it. Then we say, hey, it lands
on whatever it lands on, and then we go to
the story. It's that simple. It's a surprise to me.
Hence the wheel of surprise.

Speaker 15 (55:10):
And a lay read the.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
Number six.

Speaker 18 (55:21):
Having the entire internet, half of the country hating you
and calling you disgusting things, telling you to kill yourself,
telling you that you're a horrible person, that you deserve
to die. That's a really hard thing.

Speaker 33 (55:33):
For a girl to go through.

Speaker 12 (55:34):
In her first TV interview, Old Miss freshman Mary Kate
Cornett told me how she became famous on the Internet
and social media in the.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
Worst possible way.

Speaker 12 (55:45):
In February, and online rumor went viral claiming an Old
Miss sorority sister slept with her boyfriend's father. Then someone
attached Cornett's name and photo to it.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
This was a big story and talk about a young
girl who absolutely got dragged through the social media mud
in a way that was it was crazy and if
you guys don't remember the story. So somewhere along line,

(56:19):
there was a rumor and I said two things. I said,
first of all, I don't believe it. And secondly, I
couldn't tell if the if the rumor came from her.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
Or if it was fake.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
And the reason I said her is because we live
in a time when people enjoy spreading certain things because
if it means that they're going to get likes and
clicks and social media stardom, that's great.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
Well, come to find out, she wanted no part of it.

Speaker 15 (56:49):
Do you know why the rumor started?

Speaker 18 (56:51):
No clue, no clue.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
I had zero, zero, zero knowledge of this.

Speaker 12 (56:55):
This disgusting rumor was a top trending topic on Twitter.

Speaker 18 (56:59):
Within two and anine hours later that night, around seven pm,
I was number one trending in the United States. I
felt so helpless and so alone because so many people
were hating on me for something that I had no
idea anything about. I mean, I'm a very normal person,

(57:22):
just like any teenage girl. I care about what people
think about me. I mean, any teenage girl can relate
to that.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
Of course, most people can relate to that.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
But a teenage girl that got thrust into the spotlight
in a way that just it blew up. And you know,
imagine this. You go off to college, right your sorority.
You think you got the world at your feet. Yeah,
look great, let's be real. If she's three hundred pounds,
we'll probably not having this conversation. But you've got all

(57:53):
the things going for you, you think, and your life's
in front of you, and all of a sudden, you're
out there in front of the world and you're being
accused of something. And now everywhere you go people are
staring at you, looking at you, pointing at you, people
who are talking about you on television and stuff.

Speaker 5 (58:12):
How that's just crazy.

Speaker 12 (58:16):
Cornett's phone number was also shared online she was overwhelmed
with harassing texts and voicemails.

Speaker 18 (58:22):
I was having thousands of calls come through, thousands of
texts coming through calling me a whoror calling me a slut,
telling me I deserve to die.

Speaker 12 (58:32):
When you look back at the last five weeks, is
there one moment that sticks out for you?

Speaker 1 (58:37):
With myself, it would probably be.

Speaker 18 (58:41):
At three am when I was throwing up while holding
the phone with all the texts on it, just saying
how horrible of a person I was and I should
in my life, all because of an Internet all because
of an Internet rumor that has zero truth to it.

Speaker 5 (58:56):
Zero zero truth.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
By the way, the guy that got was accused of
doing this too, just got throttled the whole thing. And
it shows you what can happen in a situation where
you let loose something and thinking maybe it was funny
or whatever, or you heard a rumor, and boom away

(59:19):
it goes and your people's lives are absolutely in turmoil.

Speaker 12 (59:23):
Cornett says she could barely leave her dorm room, had
to switch to online classes. Someone even sent police to
her mother's house in a fake nine one one call
some home.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
Miss frabro yepkay hey k D girlfriend.

Speaker 12 (59:38):
Soon the rumor was picked up by ESPN host Pat McAfee,
though he didn't use her name.

Speaker 15 (59:44):
This is what is being reported by everybody on.

Speaker 5 (59:47):
The internet that had sex with son's girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
Man, all of a sudden, the people that live in
the intersphere, and for us, maybe because we don't live
on the internet so much, you're like, what's this about. Well,
you know, if you've got a daughter, you got a son,
this kind of stuff can take off. It can be damaging,
and that's why you got to always remind everybody the
Internet is not real. You can turn it off and
walk away from it. But at this point, now they're

(01:00:14):
talking about on television.

Speaker 15 (01:00:16):
Has anyone apologized to you?

Speaker 18 (01:00:18):
No, no, they have not at all. I want these
famous people to know that I was not famous before this.
I'm not a public figure that you can go talk
about on your show to get more views. I'm not sorry.
Nobody knows who I am, or nobody did know who
I was. But them pressing this and pushing it farther

(01:00:41):
made my situation so much worse because the people who
were talking about it are the people that I would
want to take a picture with. If I saw it
in public. They're people that I watched Pat McAfee, ESPN.
That's all my living room TV every single night.

Speaker 9 (01:00:55):
That's kind of hurt thing it does.

Speaker 18 (01:00:57):
It does because I used to look up to these
people and now these same people are making me feel
worthless and I'm.

Speaker 10 (01:01:04):
Just a joke.

Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
Just you can hear how upset she is, and rightly.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
So, you know, we were talking yesterday and we've got
a lot of text about adolescents the show, and you
know the conversation around it. These are things that you
know they're talking about in cells and the Internet and
the manisphere. This is the other side of stuff that happens.
And the Internet is amazing, but it's also fraught with

(01:01:34):
all kinds of pitfalls and dangers and the excitement of
going viral if you don't want to take advantage of
certain situations. Right, some people will go, oh, this is great,
I've gone viral and I'm going to run with it
and see what happens hawk to a girl and somebody
like this, This girl, she didn't want any part of it.

Speaker 12 (01:01:56):
ESPN and Pat McAfee declined NBC News's requests for comment.
Cornett says she hit rock bottom when she realized her
name would forever be linked to the rumor spread online.

Speaker 18 (01:02:07):
I don't think that these boys realize what they're doing
to people.

Speaker 9 (01:02:14):
It's awful.

Speaker 25 (01:02:15):
It's awful, and.

Speaker 18 (01:02:19):
Having your life ruined by people who have no idea
who you are is the worst feeling in the world.

Speaker 25 (01:02:26):
It makes you feel so alone.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
I would assume. So, man, I'm sitting there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
I've got my fourteen year old stepdaughter, I've got my
sixteen year old stepdaughter, and I've got my six year
old daughter, and I think to myself, what is that
going to be like? But I also have my son,
you know, and think, Okay, it's different. You know, yesterday
we talked about, you know, the manosphere and all this
kind of stuff. This situation here is different because you know,

(01:02:51):
you're coming from a female perspective and as a father,
how would I react in a situation like this?

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
And who do I go after?

Speaker 23 (01:02:57):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:02:58):
Because you know, daddy bear it's involved.

Speaker 15 (01:03:00):
Cornett now wants justice.

Speaker 12 (01:03:03):
Her lawyer says she's been defamed and is a victim
of cyber bullying.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
The rumor is false.

Speaker 34 (01:03:09):
People promoted it without looking into it.

Speaker 12 (01:03:12):
You can't lie for money, are there laws that protect
Mary Kate because it seems like the Internet, social media,
it's the wild wild West.

Speaker 34 (01:03:19):
To some degree, the law hasn't caught up with the
speed at which a lie travels online and the fact
that it's now kind of anchored to her name forever.
But defamation exists. There's growing protections against cyber bullying. There's
growing protections against you know, making fake pictures, which is

(01:03:43):
also happened to Mary Kate. The legal regime is catching up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
It's hard, though, because as fast as you catch up,
laws are, they take forever to get done, take forever
to get implemented, And with the speed of not just
the Internet but technology itself, it's so hard for people
to get in front of this because there's always a

(01:04:08):
work around and technology is always gonna be one step ahead.

Speaker 12 (01:04:11):
For now, she says, she's leaning on her friends and family,
including her father.

Speaker 23 (01:04:16):
I just wonder why, why my daughter. She wasn't looking
for anty of this. She never asked for any attention.
She's trying to be a freshman in college.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
Instead, she's been tested like never before.

Speaker 18 (01:04:30):
I have no idea how this started or why, but
I do know that this has affected me in such
an awful way and has practically ruined my life.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
Yeah, what would you tell them to that person, Just that.

Speaker 18 (01:04:48):
Your actions have consequences, real consequences that I will be
living and facing for the rest of my life. That
many other girls face things like this that will affect
the us their lives.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
We'll see what happens in the future. But you know what,
you're gonna get through it. You got a great life
in front of you. You live in the greatest country
in the world, and now you've got an opportunity to
take this and spread the word about this. And this
goes back to something we talked about with the fake
you know pictures of taking somebody's head and putting their

(01:05:22):
body on it that the kids have done. When it
comes to you know, pornography and stuff. These things are here,
especially with AI and with the Internet and all this stuff.
It's going to be tough in the future to figure
out how you get ahead of it, to try to
stem it from happening.

Speaker 27 (01:05:39):
We're playing the wheel of surprise number one, only our
cameras are there.

Speaker 35 (01:05:58):
When forty four year old step Fanned Demetrius appeared virtually
before a judge, accused of hiring a teenage student to
gun down her husband.

Speaker 12 (01:06:08):
Involved in this case.

Speaker 21 (01:06:09):
The feat in the back.

Speaker 23 (01:06:10):
I'll have your attorney have a discussion.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
With you, okay.

Speaker 35 (01:06:13):
Police tell us Demetrius, a teacher at the Academy for
Urban Scholars High School, offered two grand the unidentified boy
to shoot and kill her estranged husband.

Speaker 36 (01:06:23):
This particular teacher was attempting to groom this young person
into committing murder.

Speaker 5 (01:06:29):
Insane.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
So this is an Ohio teacher who is trying to
get one of her students to kill her husband. And
I've read the story on a few occasions. She is
a something and that's being kind.

Speaker 35 (01:06:47):
Court document show. Columbus police have a recorded conversation between
Demetrius and the teen where she tells him when her
husband would be home, but their four children would not.

Speaker 15 (01:06:56):
Police say she paid.

Speaker 35 (01:06:58):
That teen a two hundred and fifty dollars down payment
last week.

Speaker 36 (01:07:01):
We're unsure of the specific reason asked to why this
teacher chose this particular student.

Speaker 35 (01:07:08):
Investigators learning about the alleged murder for higher plot when
the teen's mother found something on his phone.

Speaker 9 (01:07:13):
And called police without their help.

Speaker 5 (01:07:16):
Some of this may not have come completely the light.

Speaker 36 (01:07:18):
And this was a situation where the parent was able
to capture things inside of this young person's phone to
alert authorities.

Speaker 5 (01:07:28):
Hey son, how school today? That it's all right? My
teacher wants me to kill her husband. But you know,
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
And when I mean she is something her and her
husband going through a divorce, and can I just say
this is not the first time that she's tried to
do something against her husband. Why is God's name is
she teaching anywhere or anywhere near kids?

Speaker 35 (01:07:54):
Demetrius and her husband were married in two thousand and
four and had been going through a divorce. Police say
in the past, she's been accused of trying to stab
her husband, run him over, and even set the home
on fire. We tried to contact him at his home,
but no one answered the door. During the court hearing,
Demitrius denied the allegations, calling them fabricated.

Speaker 36 (01:08:14):
It's extremely bizarre and it's unfortunate that this particular suspect
put such a low value on someone else's life.

Speaker 5 (01:08:24):
Wait, what if it was one hundred thousand, you'd be like, well, no,
that's fair. Two grand?

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Why again is she teaching three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Betson shows your

Speaker 37 (01:10:08):
Breaking news out of Mexico. Paul and Christy are out
of Mexico. This has finally happened. This Michigan couple held
for thirty two days at a maximum security prison in Cancun,
a resort down. All of it over a timeshare dispute.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
It's insane what happened to this couple, and yes, all
over a time share dispute over the fact that they
were overcharged one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars. They disputed it,
American Express gave them back their money. And then when

(01:10:47):
they were in Mexico, they had posted on Facebook a
few times that if you've had the same thing happen,
let me tell you how to get your money back,
and they arrested them, put him in a horrific jail.

Speaker 37 (01:11:02):
If you've been following the coverage, you know that they
flew to Cancun on vacation last month and were promptly
arrested at the airport. They were alleged crime, having been
mired in what looks like a civil dispute with a
high end hotel chain called the Palace Resorts. Let me
repeat that a timeshare contract dispute landed this American couple

(01:11:24):
in a maximum security prison in Mexico for a month.
It took a freshman US congressman from Michigan and a
top hostage negotiator from the Trump administration to spring the
Akos from that hellhole.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
And I do mean hellhole.

Speaker 37 (01:11:39):
The toilets didn't flush, the food was inedible, they said,
cells were overcrowded, and fellow inmates were rapists and murderers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
On top of that, the food sucked and they lost
thirty pounds. It's insane, But they are home and I
don't think this helps the timeshare world. By the way,
in Mexico, just letting you guys think, Hey, maybe we
should get a timeshare in Mexico or no, could be
that answer. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

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

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
We got liberated this week. The question is were you
hoping to get liberated? That's an interesting question. Was this
on top of mine for you? Probably not, in fact
not for most people.

Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
Do Americans feel like there should be or where does
this reordering of the global economic order rank?

Speaker 7 (01:13:55):
Look at this should be a high priority for Trump
number one. The economy at eighty two to inflection eighty
look at this. Terris eight out of eight on the
list in terms of things that should be a high
priority for Donald Trump. At just thirty percent, fifty points
less than inflation, Americans want simply put nothing to do
with it. Yet Trump decides to keep pushing forward.

Speaker 5 (01:14:15):
Right or wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:14:15):
I think it is safe to say this is a
huge political risk he is taking.

Speaker 5 (01:14:19):
One hundred percent. This could be a risk that ends
up ending his presidency.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
In my mind, it's possible, no doubt about that. John
Kennedy actually talked about that and the potential of what
could happen if things don't go the way that the
president wants.

Speaker 9 (01:14:36):
Here's what I think. America is rich. We buy a
lot of stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:14:42):
President Trump is saying that if you American business, are
you a foreign businesses want to sell in America, then
move your business here and hire American workers. That's an
audible goal and I support it. It'll work long term.
But as you mentioned in the long term word and
short term matters, and the truth is, nobody knows what

(01:15:04):
the impact of these tariffs are gonna be.

Speaker 9 (01:15:06):
Bill.

Speaker 10 (01:15:07):
I listen to my friend on another network, Willie Geist
this morning predict raging inflation. Now I know mister Geist
is smart and well educated because he went to Vanderbilt.

Speaker 9 (01:15:20):
But that's just a wag. That's a wild ass gas
wild ass.

Speaker 5 (01:15:25):
Yes, indeed, and could this be amazing?

Speaker 17 (01:15:29):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
One of the things that a lot of people have
been talking about is how bad it's going to be.
The opportunity for this thing to be good? Is there
the opportunity to reset some fair leveler playing fields globally
in trade? Is there as well as getting other things

(01:15:52):
that's not just about trade because I think we always
think it's just about goods. There are other things that
play here too. John Kennedy again because he also understands
the politics of it.

Speaker 9 (01:16:09):
We're in uncharted waters.

Speaker 12 (01:16:11):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (01:16:11):
Tariffs are more art, in my opinion, than science.

Speaker 10 (01:16:17):
Uh. Te Tariffs are like whiskey. A little whiskey under
the right circumstances can be refreshing. Too much whiskey under
the wrong circumstances, uh, and you end up drunk as
a goat.

Speaker 9 (01:16:35):
We just don't know right now, but we'll know within
the next six months. If it works.

Speaker 10 (01:16:42):
Let's let's let's take a dozen. If it doesn't work,
the President's going to have to recap, right.

Speaker 5 (01:16:48):
And we're going to figure that out again. Over time.
That's what's going to sort this out. It is not
going to be immediate.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Some things make it done immediately. Some of the smaller
things get done. But earlier today China said, well, you
know what, you're going to do that, then we're going
to answer.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
Back, and they did.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
They hit us with tariffs, which was not a shocker.
They kind of signaled, if you do that, we're going
to do this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
Just moments ago, China announced they are striking back against
US tariffs. China imposing thirty four percent tariffs on all
imports from the United States. That's going to start on
April tenth. Right now, the US is putting tariffs that
total fifty four percent on Chinese goods.

Speaker 5 (01:17:38):
Ohn Janney.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
Good. Trump's doing what he said he was going to do.
Some people are surprised. Some people aren't cause in point
lonely Scott.

Speaker 33 (01:17:51):
He's also executing, as you all have acknowledged, his economic agenda,
just as he said he was going to do. He's
an acting tariffs, and he's asking the Congress to make
the text cuts permanent, and he's unleashing American energy. So
I agree it is I told you so. And about
half the country is okay with it, and about half
the country.

Speaker 5 (01:18:06):
Voted for it.

Speaker 15 (01:18:07):
So it strikes me that this is a healthy level of.

Speaker 33 (01:18:10):
Copium going on right now among Democrats who are telling
themselves stories that the people who voted for this are
not happy with it. The vast majority of not everyone
who voted for Donald Trump, is some level of happiness
ranging from nine to ten on that.

Speaker 5 (01:18:26):
Here's the and this where I'm going to disagree with.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Scott Lonely Scott, who I love, by the way, because
out there is working hard, putting in the effort. I
disagree with lonely Scott because a lot of people voted
for Trump for a lot of different reasons. But I
will say this, I've talked to several super Maga supporters
who are worried because, as you heard at the beginning

(01:18:51):
of this segment, this was not on their radar. Yes,
he talked about tariffs, but I think a lot of
people thought it was going to be more about China
and US and the battle there, not globally and the
impact with Canada, and you know, because it's Trump and
the impact with Mexico and the battles, you know, we

(01:19:13):
expect some of the trolling, but this was much greater,
I think than some people thought it was going to be.
And so there's some people out there that, yeah, they
voted for Trump and they want this to work, but
they're nervous.

Speaker 5 (01:19:28):
How could you not be nervous. You have to have
some nerves, Kramer.

Speaker 11 (01:19:34):
What bothered me on was that they really did over
and over again. The President said, listen, it's going to
be reciprocalcy you do it, we do it. And that
was going to be so good, and I really believed
in it. And I feel like a sucker tonight because
I am not a free trader and I do not
believe in free trade. And I was just as tough,
if not tougher than his people. But they screwed it
up and they really made a totally ill advised way,

(01:19:58):
and I was very let down as someone who truly
believes the free trade is awful for the American working person.

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
This is what they came up with.

Speaker 9 (01:20:05):
Geez, come on, have some gumption.

Speaker 5 (01:20:06):
I have some math. Math. They had math. They had
that math thing that they did where they like they
had the Greek letters.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
And stuff, and everybody laughed at them because they're like,
it's completely bs made up, whack of doness. Oh no,
it's it's not. It's not it's like it's it's okay,
that's the way you feel. I have not talked to
one economist, and I've talked to several who've all said, Chad,

(01:20:35):
it's it's it's a joke. How they arrived at some
of these things just seems like okay. To carry the
four plus a buffalo over here to an orange minus seven,
there's four x's and flip a coin thirty six thirty
six percent.

Speaker 5 (01:20:53):
See how generous we are.

Speaker 11 (01:20:54):
They are sure, it's over and over again, earned that
they were going to do the thing that would make
it so that the tarriffs would come down and the
countries that were bad actors would change their ways. And
then so then Israel decided to get rid of tarifor
and them anyway, Vietnam decides to cut their tariff and
they still got the highest tariff. It was such a
shame because they missed the opportunity and now they have
to pay the price. And it's funny too, because none

(01:21:15):
of this stock market, none of this had to happen.
And I feel bad because a lot of people lose
money when this happens. I hope people just be calm,
be constructive. But the way that they handled it was
so bushling that I was surprised. President Trump has people
around him know these things, but.

Speaker 5 (01:21:31):
They've also got people out there that are pushing certain things, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
They believe that there's going to be this great renaissance
of industrial manufacturing and whatnot.

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
And maybe there is. Maybe I'm completely wrong. But even if.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
It's good for us in the long run, will the
President and the powers that be if things really start
to go in a direction that is evident that the
public doesn't want and can't stomach, will they stick with it?
And again, we can always sit here and go good

(01:22:12):
for us in the long run. That's that's that's for
you to decide, me to decide. But as a whole,
we do cheat. We do like our chief goods. I've
been saying this for years. We export ideas, our ideas.
We have a surplus of those with our trade. Surplus
that we do have is through our services, banking, finance, insurance.

Speaker 5 (01:22:35):
Et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
It's the goods we have an issue with three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
is your Twitter, tweet at us text the program. Love
hearing from all of you, a lot of you chiming
in about Austin Metcalf and what his father said.

Speaker 5 (01:22:54):
If you guys haven't heard, here's a young man, prime
of his life.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Twin brother and him out having a great day at
a track meet, gets into a fight or dispute that
turns into a stabbing and takes his life. And his
father has been very vocal about a lot of things,
including the politics which this has become because the perpetrator

(01:23:20):
is a seventeen year old black male and the victim
is a white male kid, And it became politics, and
it became race, it became all these things. And his
dad says, hey, I'm here to tell you enough, stop it.

Speaker 26 (01:23:35):
I want to clarify something brought off the start because
I've already heard some rumors and gossip. This was not
a race thing, and this is not a political thing.
Please do not comment if you do not know what happened.
Try do not turn this into a racial thing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
It was not.

Speaker 15 (01:23:51):
Do not politicize this is not. This is a human
being thing.

Speaker 26 (01:23:56):
This person made a bad choice and affected both his
family and my family forever it's a very unfortunate thing.

Speaker 9 (01:24:05):
But I know exactly what was happening.

Speaker 26 (01:24:07):
His brother was there who tried to save him, and
he died.

Speaker 15 (01:24:10):
In his arms.

Speaker 5 (01:24:12):
It's a tough situation.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
And while it may not be a race or political thing,
and try not to make it that, it's hard for
people not to because their business is in division and
their business is in hyping up things like this. And
that's a sad thing because this was a horrific crime

(01:24:39):
that should never have happened. And the wise don't matter
when politics and the opportunity to run with something gets involved,
especially on the interwebs. Three two, three five, twenty four

At Chad Benson's Show, Your X and Instagram everything else
right here on the Chad Benson Show. All of these
things and more are trending all over the Internet. Each
and every single day, there's some sort of wacky thing trending.
Mary Cornette, we talked about her earlier and the nightmare

(01:29:21):
that she's gone through with the Internet rumors that almost
destroyed her life also trending as she's speaking out, Could
a deal be done for TikTok? Is it possible that
deal may get did? It is possible, There's no doubt
about that. But it's a big gif as always.

Speaker 30 (01:29:43):
The Trump administration has been considering a variety of proposal.
One of those possible deals would have China actually maintaining
control of the algorithm that would be leased to a
US company that would have a minority ownership stake. Point
it's unclear if this proposal actually follows the Biparties in
law that Congress pass because the law bans the maintenance

(01:30:05):
of this app with a foreign adversary, including cooperation when
it comes to the algorithm.

Speaker 5 (01:30:12):
I have no idea if this is going to get done.
I'm sure they'll try to figure ot a way to.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Extend the sales cycle a little longer as they try
to figure out how to do this. But China's not
letting that thing go because it's a national security.

Speaker 5 (01:30:32):
Thing for them.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
They believe that this is a very important thing in
their arsenal against the West. Understandable, So now we can
lease it?

Speaker 5 (01:30:41):
Okay? Is it the same? Who knows?

three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter, your Instagram, coming up,
Our buddy, Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute Public Policy Research joins
the program.

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
We talk tariffs and ooh so much more.

Chat Benson, Jim, Chad Benson, Joe, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
We love having him on. Comes on every Friday's our Man.
He's the metheis the legend. Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute of
Public Policy A Research.

Speaker 5 (01:31:28):
All right, Jim, I don't know if you're aware of this.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
I don't know if you've heard, but tariffs have been
enacted to everybody and everything, including penguins. Apparently, what is
the McDonald Islands just, which is part of Australia that
only has penguins as inhabitants, they too got tariffed. Trump
is not holding back. He is bringing the penguin manufacturing

(01:31:51):
back to America.

Speaker 39 (01:31:53):
I'm not sure that we know how to manufacture penguins
in America, but that certainly would be something that'll be
interesting in.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
These little ones, don't ours will fly, They'll be bigger,
they'll be better.

Speaker 5 (01:32:04):
They'll be way better than these stupid walking birds.

Speaker 13 (01:32:08):
They would be. But we will only be importing emperor
penguin because we.

Speaker 5 (01:32:11):
Really want the best, only the best and the biggest.

Speaker 13 (01:32:13):
One of these regular penguins, Emperor penguins only.

Speaker 5 (01:32:16):
Let's be real, this is how much of this is.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
We need negotiations, let's get some stuff done, and how
much of this is no, I'm serious. I want to
try to bring back manufacturing. I want to try to
build a middle class this way that Because he's been
on this for about thirty years, but you know what,
thirty years ago, we didn't have all the things we
have now, including our appetite for cheap goods.

Speaker 13 (01:32:39):
No, absolutely not. But we did have an appetite.

Speaker 39 (01:32:41):
We just didn't have the ability to fulfill the appetite
for cheaper goods. And we have been buying crap and
garbage from overseas for years, which is you know, like
you said, it's wonderful you can get a pair of
shoes in eight hours delivered to you this And do
we necessarily want to be the shoe manufacturer to the world, No,
we probably don't. I mean, you look at a country
like Korea if you want to know how some of

(01:33:02):
this kind of works. Fifty years ago, Korea exported raw
materials because they didn't produce anything.

Speaker 13 (01:33:07):
They just dug it up and sent it out of
the country.

Speaker 39 (01:33:10):
Twenty five years ago, we would buy textiles, computer keyboards
from them. What are we buying from South Korea today? Cars, computers,
and cameras. The standard of living in Korea has probably
gone up about tenfold over those fifty years because they
produced stuff and they export it. And they've also moved
up the chain in value adding exporting. They've basically begun
to export products that have higher values as they've gone

(01:33:32):
along from you know, China, has done this too, but
Korea is a better example of it because it's a
democracy that's done it. And this is how lots of
countries throughout the world have basically made their people better off.

Speaker 13 (01:33:42):
That's how we did it.

Speaker 39 (01:33:43):
We did it over one hundred years or two hundred
years to get ourselves to where we are today, and
we're the world's leader.

Speaker 13 (01:33:49):
Just about you know in most of these things.

Speaker 39 (01:33:51):
But the important thing is that they've got and they've
developed a middle class in Korea that fifty years ago
they don't think they really had.

Speaker 13 (01:33:56):
They just had a lot of poor and a lot
of rich people. We have a middle class.

Speaker 39 (01:34:00):
Yes, we want to help that middle class, but we
don't necessarily want to be the t shirt exporters to
the world because there's no value in it. We want
to bring back things like pharmaceuticals, is items that have
the items in the national interest, computer chips, airplane parts,
titanium manufacturing things are titanium processing stuff like that that's
important for both the security of the company and is

(01:34:21):
high value adding.

Speaker 13 (01:34:23):
Okay, those are the type of things that we want
to do.

Speaker 39 (01:34:25):
We don't necessarily want everything to come back into the
country because that's just not efficient. You're not going to
make any money being the leading soccer manufacturer in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy as who Public Policy Research,
we talk about politics and all that fun stuff. Each
president has a few months to really set an agenda,
get it going in the right direction, and as you
and I both know, midterms always seem to be right
around the corner. If this doesn't work out the way
that Trump wants it to, He's not going to pay

(01:34:56):
the price immediately, but those congressmen and women will, And
as we all know, how does this affect me?

Speaker 5 (01:35:04):
Is a very real thing when it comes to politics.

Speaker 39 (01:35:08):
If this goes the wrong way and isn't cured and
or the people don't come and capitulate in three months,
six months, or nine months, Yeah, it's going to cost
a lot of Republicans their jobs in Congress, which means
is going to cost the Republicans the House, possibly the Senate.
And Trump, as I think you've pointed out earlier, is
going to have nothing to do because they are.

Speaker 13 (01:35:26):
Just going to be It's gonna be a cost.

Speaker 39 (01:35:27):
He's not gonna be able to get anything done, I
should say, because they're just going to be constantly fighting
him tooth and nail, and they'll have the votes to
do it. And I don't think Speaker Jeffreys is going
to be very cooperative with President Trump when it comes
to doing tariffs or any sort of ideas they go on,
especially if they want to extend the Trump tax cuts
from twenty sixteen going forward or whatever it is, that
it's going to be on his agenda. If they don't,

(01:35:49):
if they don't keep the House in the Senate, those
are pretty much things that are out the window, and
you're basically looking at it too, your lame duck period
for Trump. So it's got to get worked out and
these things have to pan out. I really hope there's
a plan behind it. I really hope that they have
expectations or expect Okay, fine, we put twenty five percent
on these guys. We figured they'll come back and they'll

(01:36:10):
the goods negotiate us down to fifteen percent, and they'll
throw in some reduction on tariffs on some of the
stuff that we want to export into their country, and
that'd be a win win for everybody, because remember fair
there is free trade, but there also needs to be
fair trade, which kind of was what Trump talks about,
and we don't need to be taking disadvantages like for example,
in Europe, we have a one hundred and fifty nine
billion dollar trade deficit with them, but on the services side,

(01:36:34):
because you talked about we export so many services. Now
we have one hundred and two billion dollar surplus. So
when he netted out, it's still over fifty billion dollars,
but it's a lot better if you just look at
the product side of it.

Speaker 13 (01:36:46):
So there is that in some of those cases.

Speaker 39 (01:36:48):
But if we could get some of those numbers down
on they get that fifty billion down to twenty or
twenty five billion, or maybe even get lucky and get
it evened out, that'd be great for America, and wedn't
necessarily have to bring a lot of manufacturing back and
just be reduction the tariffs and a reduction of some
of the terrorifts that they've got on some of our
products overseas.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
let's talk about the special elections.

Speaker 5 (01:37:10):
They won Florida, not by as much as I think
they would like to.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
They did win voter ID, which was a win, but
they lost the special election when it came to the
Supreme Court in Wisconsin. I look at that as more
of an Elon issue as much as it was a
Trump issue.

Speaker 13 (01:37:28):
Yeah, I would.

Speaker 39 (01:37:29):
I would probably say that if you notice shortly there
after the next day Elon was announced that Elon will
be stepping away from Doge, you know, in a couple
of months. So I'm not sure if those two events
are connected or I'm just basically a conspiracy theorist, but
you'd have to wonder about that.

Speaker 13 (01:37:43):
Yeah, you're exactly right. They underperformed in the Florida races.

Speaker 39 (01:37:46):
They won them handily, but like you said, they underperformed
to compare to what Bush or to what Trump won
them by, and what those and what the elected representatives
who gave up those seats.

Speaker 13 (01:37:56):
Won them by. So absolutely that is some Trump, That
is some some some Elon.

Speaker 39 (01:38:01):
But the thing was Elon I don't think cares about
the flack because he's not elected official. He's a billionaire.
You can't cancel the guy. And if he walked away
from this, he's got twelve other things he can do
tomorrow that basically keeps them from having more than four
hours sleep at night, I believe. So it doesn't really matter.
And this was gonna have to be something as far
as the dojeff, It's gonna have to be something. They're

(01:38:22):
gonna have to hit hard and fast, because the more
they drew it out, the more they were gonna throw
lawsuits up the block it. And they needed to get
in there and whack as much as they can. I
don't know if they're gonna be able to make any more.
I mean, I think they've completed everything. I know they're
trying to look at Social Security for fraud and waste,
which I'm sure there probably is a fair amount of
in there. But of course, the the the Democrats. I've

(01:38:43):
got a you know, my former lefty radio partner who
talks about how, you know how how he's you know,
ruining it, you know how he's ruining the lives of
elderly people bye bye bye by cutting the Social Security
And every time I ask him, please explain how much
benefits have been cut into who they've been cut to,
he can't answer that. He talked about offices being closed
and you have to go in to get your get

(01:39:03):
your automatic deposits set up and stuff like that, but
you can't come up with any benefits because they haven't
been any benefit.

Speaker 5 (01:39:09):
No, no, no, people and that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
He was a perfect example of how everybody spins it
the way they want. Are they going to close some offices?
Yes to some people. The first if you're going in
for benefits, like for survivor benefits, or you're going in
the first time to get your benefits set up, you
have to go into person. Now, that's what they're going
to say. Everybody else can handle stuff by phone. On

(01:39:32):
the other side, they say, you know, forty percent of
the phone calls to come into Social Security are fraud.

Speaker 5 (01:39:38):
No, that's not true.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
Forty percent of the direct deposit calls that they're trying
to change are fraud. So sure, everybody spins the things
that they want to spend. The reality is, first of all,
I don't even know apparently today I read somewhere is
between two hundred and fifty five and two hundred and
fifteen thousand jobs that includes tractors and stuff like that

(01:40:01):
that work for the government who those jobs have been slashed.
But out of that, how many of them are going
to get their job back because Okay, we overfired or
we need you. And how many of them are going
to get their job back because the courts are going
to hold it up and order them back, which I
think is a big problem here. I've you've heard me
say it. Man, he's going to get to Mars and

(01:40:22):
populated faster, and he's going to get through this bureaucracy.

Speaker 39 (01:40:25):
No, absolutely, and that's part part of what may have been,
you know, whether he decided to jump off the cliff
or Trump pushed them as far as backing down on
some of his doge work. You know, certainly that's one
of the manufactors. I'm sure that's involved with it. And
now remember, you know you talk about that, you're talking
what two hundred fifty one thousand you're talking here. The

(01:40:46):
don't forget Clinton Gore cut over three hundred thousand government
jobs when they were cleaning stuff up in the late nineties.
So we haven't even gotten to that. And you know,
the government's way larger, much larger than it was in
those days in the last twenty five years. I mean
in California, I know they're state jobs, but the only
jobs that they've basically been created in the state of
California were the last about for about the last nine months,

(01:41:06):
have been state jobs. Everything else has been negative. They've
been adding employment, the government employment out here and no
private sector employment. So I'm sure the federal government has
been growing like that. I'm sure the last two months
they haven't been growing. But outside of that, I'm sure
they were adding jobs left and right all over the place.
So there's still plenty to cut. And there's still plenty
of people that they you know, they're either going to
decide to either they go into the office or they

(01:41:27):
quit type of situation because they we need to get
them back in. And there's still you know, so there's
still lots of opportunities there. As far as I'm concerned
about streamlining government.

Speaker 2 (01:41:36):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy instead of public policy research. Uh,
let's quickly jump into the voter ID thing before I
let you go. It's it's so funny, and this is
a perfect example of how purple I think really, Wisconsin
is one of the few purple places that's out there.
Arizona's become pretty purple.

Speaker 5 (01:41:56):
But the reality of.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Okay, the Wisconsin the Supreme Court that went to the
Democrats she wanted pretty handily, even though getting nonpartisan, but
voter ID one by twenty points. Yeah, and that shows me, Look,
you know what, there's some common sense out there.

Speaker 39 (01:42:16):
Yeah, and that also means that based on those numbers,
there's some Democrats who voted for her and voted for ID,
and there's you know, because that those things otherwise the
numbers just don't add upright. So but yeah, absolutely, and
it you know, it goes to that because there are
people that still were Bien supporters that kind of have
some questions about how how the election was, you know
that aren't the hardcore rabid ones. Shall we say that

(01:42:36):
probably the white female liberals that are become so rabid
on the on the progressive side where they you know,
were other than other than them, have basically had some
questions about well, yeah, you know what, I don't think
it's that hard to get an ID. I don't think
that you're basically hurting brown and black and underserved communities
by making them get IDs. And I've put out an
article that shows all of the things that how far

(01:42:58):
disconnected you have to be from society and from basically
the mainstream of the world to not have an ID.

Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
You are.

Speaker 39 (01:43:07):
There are so few things you can do in this
world or in America right now, and one of them
things is not get on an airplane. You've never been
on an airplane if you've got to if you don't know,
if you don't have an ID, You've never opened a
bank account if you don't have ID.

Speaker 13 (01:43:20):
Almost everywhere you've got to show IDA to buy public
transportation passes. You have to have an ID. You have to.

Speaker 39 (01:43:26):
If you have ever got a prescription, you've had to
show IDEA to get that prescription. So you've ever gotten
to a federal office building, you've got to show ID
in many cases to get into them if you're not
an employee in there. So there are so many things
that you'd be disconnected from if you don't have an ID.
So I don't think it's don't I think a lot
of people are looking at very rationally, going, this is
not that crazy of a requirement. We're not, you know,

(01:43:49):
I'm not buying into the liberal you know, talking points
about how it's racist or how it's or voter suppression
or anything like that. It's a reasonable requirement. It's one
that Supreme Court is hell to be reasonable and has
no problem with, and almost half the states in America
now have it. So it's something that I think they
agreed to and while they voted for the Democrats for
the State Supreme Court and moved on.

Donald Trump is using tariffs in the dumbest way imaginable.
In fact, Donald Trump slapped tariffs on penguins and not
on putin.

Speaker 5 (01:48:29):
What a week?

Speaker 13 (01:48:29):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
Did he really put tariffs on penguins? Kind of sort
of but not really. And if he did, it's only
because they don't fly. We're we're gonna find penguins that fly.

(01:48:51):
helps us out here right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Solid week of insanity and shows, and what do you
bet we have another crazy week of shows and insanity
next week. And I'm telling you guys, the tariff thing
that became the big thing towards the end of the week.

(01:49:11):
It's going to be interesting to see how it plays
itself out because I just think there's so much more
to this as everybody freaks out about it, and the
reality is nobody knows because nobody knows how long they're
going to stay on and as we all know, as
we talk about with politicians and everybody else, if it
starts to affect them negatively, not us, but them, they'll

(01:49:33):
figure out a way to make the pain go away.

Speaker 5 (01:49:35):
You guys have a blessed weekend. We'll do it again
on Monday as always.

Speaker 17 (01:49:38):
