The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
The Battle of tariffs, the battle of messaging. It's always
a battle, It's all it ever seems to be anymore
in the world of politics. To be honest with you,
and I'm going to say it's straight up right here,
I have no idea what's going to take place when
it comes to tariffs, because I have no idea how
long they're going to last, which ones are going to

(00:35):
be taken off. Is it going to be a pause
at some point in time, How is this country over
here going to react? And how is this country over
here going to react? And is Trump going to stick
to it with China but not with other countries? I
don't know. That is the unknown in this. And the

(00:56):
messaging is simple. Democrats are loving every second of this.
They love watching the market crash because they're like, great,
closer we get to a potential recession, the better it's
going to be for us to regain the House and
the Senate come midterms. And that message, by the way,
is being felt by a lot of Republican senators and

(01:18):
congress people out there who are in positions where they're
not a sure thing, and so this feels like right now, hey,
things things feel good for the Democrats. Has nothing to
do with that they've changed their message or that they're
better at doing ninety percent of the stuff they sucked
at before. They've not improved on any of that. It

(01:40):
just has to do with the fact that there feels
like there's plenty of turmoil because there is. Under this
president there always was going to be.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
These Trump terrorists represent the largest tax increase on the
American people since at least nineteen sixty eight. What we're
seeing is that he is crashing the economy. In real
time costs of going up the Trump tariffs are likely
to result in thousands of dollars in additional costs on

(02:09):
the American people in terms of groceries and gas and goods.
And at the same time, we're seeing the retirement savings
of the American people plummeting as well.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
You have to message correctly. The action at this moment
in time means very little if you don't message it correctly.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Hawking Jeffries, this guy is driving us toward a recession,
and this is not what the American people voted for
or expected.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Are we headed towards the recession? Anything is possible at
some point in time. I think we're going to get there.
I mean, you can't imagine us continuing to ride this
ride out forever. But it's about the messaging. And I
will say Trump's messaging has been a bit all over
the place. And Trump's messaging when it comes to you know,

(03:06):
even this weekend, a tweet about well, is he doing
this on purpose? He kind of retruth tweeted something whatever
the hell you called it, and you just sit there
and you're like, ah.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
The president retweeted a post that said the market drop
was part of a deliberate strategy to force the Fed
to lower interest rates?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Is that the president's strategy?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
If not, why did he post it? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yeah, that you know.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
The bottom line is the president has been talking about
taros for forty years and this has like been absolutely
the policy that he's focused on in the campaign.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
And one of the things in the truth tweet is
that he didn't somebody else talked about that by pushing
the market down, that would force the Fed to do
something to lower rates. By lowering rates, we would be
able to refinance our debt, the national debt, so we

(03:59):
would drop the service to the debt down price wise. Therefore,
saving US potentially hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
Do I think that's true. I don't. Some people run
with and think it's absolutely true. And I think Trump,
I mean, this tariff thing is something he's been very
He feels like we've been screwed. He feels like we've

(04:19):
been taken advantage of. In some cases, we absolutely have,
but we've also indulged in cheap goods and will continue
to do so until you absolutely make it impossible for
us to indulge in cheap goods. Then we may just
stop spending at all, which will then cause issues. You

(04:39):
have to message correctly at this point in.

Speaker 7 (04:42):
Time, markets or organic animals, and you never know what
the reaction is going to be. One thing that I
can tell you is the Treasury Secretary. What I've been
very impressed with is the market infrastructure. That we had
record volume on Friday and everything is work and very smoothly.
So the American people take great comfort in that. And

(05:04):
in terms of the market reaction, Look, we get these
short term market reactions from time to time. The market
consistently underestimates Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yes they do, but he does listen to the market.
He does listen to the market. It isn't something he
has always done and it is something that is important
to him. So if he thinks it's going to go
too far one way, then can I react the possibilities there.

(05:34):
But you have to be the thing I have been
consistent on when it comes to because with Trump, you
don't know what the endgame is. But you have to
talk to the people. Not only it's not just about transparents,
it's about a certain amount of comfort. Because I talk
to a lot of people this weekend, especially on Friday,

(05:55):
Jack and I went out call for my son's here.
He's leaving today. It's been out here for about ten days,
and we were out golf and finally we had a
break in the storm. So we're out golf. So many
people ask me about this, and I'm just trying to
hang out with my son, and I'm like, look, I
don't know how long they're going to last. I don't

(06:16):
know if this is a trade war. I don't know
if this is a message being sent. I don't know
any of the things. But to a person, a vast
majority of them were Trump supporters, and they feel confused
by all of this because this well, Trump talked about this.
This was not a big thing on people's radar, as

(06:38):
we talked about on Friday, but.

Speaker 8 (06:39):
This was the biggest two day crash since the pandemic.
And the President on Saturday urging people quote to hang tough,
saying it won't be easy.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
And I guess the big.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
Question on people's minds, mister secretary, how difficult is.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
It going to be?

Speaker 8 (06:55):
And how long are Americans going to have to hang tough?

Speaker 7 (06:58):
Well, again reject that the assumption there doesn't have to
be a recession. Who knows how the market is going
to react in a day and a week.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
At some point in time. I do believe the market
will come back, because that's what happens. I mean I've
and you've listened to the show for any length of time,
you know that. Zach Abram and I always chat about this.
He's chief investment officer. Bulwick said, our market is completely overbought.
It is completely I mean, we have essentially seventy percent

(07:34):
of the global you know, market trading goes on goes
on here and there's a lot of reasons for that.
Less manipulation when it comes to which you can find
in other places. The volume is tremendous. I mean, you know,
there's a lot that goes into it, but was it
potentially overbought in certain areas? Does do things need to
come down? Yes? Is this the way to do it?

Speaker 7 (07:56):
This is an adjustment process. We saw with President Riga
when he brought down the Great Inflation and we got
past the Carter malaise. That there was some choppiness at
that time, but he held the course, and we're going
to hold the course. And this has been years in

(08:16):
the building.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Years in the makings, years in the making, not the building.

Speaker 8 (08:20):
Trump promised that he was going to improve the economy
starting on day one. He said, prices are going to
come down. More than one hundred and sixty million Americans,
mister Secretary, as you know, are invested in the market.
Many of them have spent their lives saving for their retirement.
What is your message to Americans who want to retire
right now and who've just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
I think that's a false narrative. Americans who want to
retire right now, the Americans who have put away for
years in their savings accounts, I think they don't look
at the day to day fluctuations of what's happening.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I think savings account is different than inside of the market.
People are worried, man, Let's be honest. People are worried.
People are scared. People are nervous, as they would be
am I nervous. It's a wait and see. All of

(09:24):
this is a wait and see because the long term
play that is going on now isn't going to be
solved today or tomorrow or next week or next month.
The reality of what may come out of this long
term may be good for America, but we won't know

(09:44):
that because it's long term. But we live in a
short term society, especially when that comes to things like
voting it. At some point in time, politics is going
to start to override this with the fear of losing
the House and the Senate if things don't start to
slow down and turn around, and that's when the politics
gets involved and all of a sudden, now you're going

(10:05):
to have pressure coming from Republicans saying, hey, if we
lose this and I lose my gig, your next two
years is going to be a nightmare. And he I
think recognizes that. We'll see three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at as text to programs speaking of politics? Oh,

(10:27):
there was a hands off, stay away from all of
our stuff. We're angry at you Trump, and we're angry
at you Elon protests all over this weekend.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
We protested today Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well, what's Donald Trump doing that we're protested?

Speaker 9 (10:42):
Well, he is not the American democracy right now and
trying to kind of repeal a bunch in the constitution,
like you know, rights and liberties.

Speaker 10 (10:53):
So is there anything in specific that he's I don't
have all the information, but.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
So you don't have all the information, but I'm pretty
sure this is what we're doing here is because of
that guy and the stuff that he's done. What are
you against?

Speaker 9 (11:10):
Personally? I'm against tyrants. I'm against tyranny, That's what I'm against.
What is that somebody who's coming in and trying to
take over the country and get rid of the rules
and regulations that have existed for centuries to keep US
citizens safe?

Speaker 1 (11:26):
And who do you think is doing at currently?

Speaker 9 (11:28):
Donald Trump and Elon Musk and all of his cabinet members.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
They have no idea. We got a lot more of
that coming up a lot more of that, plus the
latest on the Austin Metcalf murder and what is going
on with that and the money being raised to help
the perpetrator. Alleged three two, three, five, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter, your Instagram,

(11:54):

for Birch Gold. That's the word Benson to ninety eight,
ninety eight ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's a Jet Benson show, Chad Benson.

Speaker 12 (13:11):
Recently, our dealerships have been the target of many attacks,
and suddenly no one likes Tesla cars. So I asked
myself why, and then I answered myself because of me?
Why we were introducing the new Tesla Model V, the
first electric car in history to be fully self vandalizing,

(13:37):
with features like self smashing headlights.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Oh, a day of rage? Is that what that was?
What was it called this weekend? I don't know anger.
People are pissed, people are scared. Some people are paid,
still looking to get paid. Does anybody want me to
go out in protest? The answer to that QUESTI is
probably no, not gonna pay me enough. I just know it.

(14:05):
But there's no doubt people are upset, people are pissed,
people are angry. Tariffs are not good. Elon is the
perfect foil for all that is the new joker to
what the media and the left seas as themselves as Batman.
So you need that element, that person to fight against.

(14:31):
And they love it, and Elon's fine to play with it.
But here's the thing. Elon's Elon. Over the weekend, he
kind of broke and I've said this and I got
pushed back from a lot of people. At some point
in time, they're going to clash. The administration and Elon
and tariffs right now seem to be something that there's

(14:53):
a bit of a clash. And there's a lot of
people inside of the administration that aren't fans of Elon
and what he's doing because they feel like they're being
usurped and he's got way too much power, understandable. Plus
he and I'm going to say this, has a stake
in this game, if you will, of the tariff world

(15:17):
and of a lot of stuff when it comes to
the economic side of things, and some people inside of
the administration don't want to hear from him when it
comes to stuff like tariffs and the economy and things
of that nature. So you do have this clash, and
I don't think that's going away anytime soon. Three two, three, five,

(15:40):
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show
is your Twitter, tweet at us, text the program radio
in the Chad Benson Show. And he's going to step
away sooner rather than later, and they'll all celebrate. Look
at all the great stuff we've done. I have no
idea what you've done. I don't. I mean, you got
rid of a lot of stuff, but then you bring

(16:02):
it some stuff back and some stuff. We have no
idea what it's going to look like because there's so
much stuff sitting in the courts as well, and there
is a lot of stuff that is out there that
is sitting out there when it comes to not quite
sure what's going to happen when it comes to the
court case. Are they going to be told that you've

(16:22):
got to rehire these people? Did you get rid of
a whole bunch of people, now you're going to have
to bring them back, Which is something we said was
probably going to happen, That you're going to get rid
of a lot of these organizations, these agencies, and then
you're going to bring them back and put them somewhere else,

(16:44):
underneath another agency, which has happened before. But these battles
are as much about ego as it is anything else,
and the frustration level across the board because everybody wants
to be the leader, everybody wants to get close to
the president. So funny three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
So the weekendic a billion people marched against all of
the stuff, the Trump, the fascist that he is, and
for Alon again, another fascist man. So many fascist, so
many in one area. What the hell are we doing America?

(18:23):
So they went out and they marched, and boy that
was interesting.

Speaker 13 (18:27):
I'm at the hands off Boston March and it is
the slowest march I have ever been in and I
could not be more happy about that because that means
that the streets between the Park and City Hall are
entirely filled with people who are here because they're very

(18:48):
angry about what's going on about Trump and fascism. Jake
trying to take this wonderful country with all these wonderful
people in there are great chance going on.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
This guy's spectacular. I'm so excited. I couldn't be any
more excited. My all the things that are happening.

Speaker 13 (19:07):
Immigrants welcome here, trends, people are welcome here, trends. Kids
are welcome here. This is Massachusetts, kid, Get your hands.

Speaker 14 (19:15):
Off of it, all right.

Speaker 13 (19:16):
I'll say hi some more later if I can manage
to post this.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Fine, wow, little lo t on that one he went out,
you're protested, Okay, you don't like all the stuff that's
going Here's the thing about protests like this, there are
so many protests inside of the protest that I have
no idea who's protesting what. At this moment in time,

(19:43):
you had this guy who has a sign that says
the fascist Trump regime must go.

Speaker 15 (19:52):
So what makes Trump a fascist? What makes Trump a fascist?
Does does things without Yeah, talk loud.

Speaker 16 (20:05):
I don't have my mic on.

Speaker 15 (20:06):
Oh, I'm not really into two.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Sorry, he just doesn't.

Speaker 17 (20:13):
He just does everything He wants and you know, not.

Speaker 15 (20:16):
Following falls or you know, he was a he's a
convicted felon.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
You know, that's all I know.

Speaker 15 (20:24):
Well, but your your sign says he's a fascist, and
I'm just curious what makes him a fascist.

Speaker 18 (20:29):
One of the things is that he's trying to control
the media, right to say that again, he's trying to
control the narrative.

Speaker 15 (20:35):
Like how is he trying to control the media? Doesn't
every president try to control the narrative.

Speaker 19 (20:40):
Uh, they try to control their own narrative. But one
of the things that Trump's has done, for example, is
the renaming the you know, the Gulf.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Of Mexico, which apparently is a very big deal for
some of these people.

Speaker 19 (20:50):
Uh, and then not allowing the Associated Press to come
into the White House basically you know, trying to get
Uh what.

Speaker 15 (20:57):
Are your feelings about him renaming the Gulf of Mexico
as a Golf of America when a majority of the
golf is in fact on the coast of America as
opposed to Mexico.

Speaker 19 (21:06):
I mean it's kind of pointless, uh people, is it pointless?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah? People call it the Gulf of Mexico.

Speaker 15 (21:12):
Don't you think it could have a positive tourism impact. Potentially,
tourism has been down heavily, So I don't want to
get into a tourism debate. My question is that sign
says the fascist Trump and regime must go.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's what it does say. And again, we're fighting now
over the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of America,
which is which they're all out there. They're like, it
is hilarious. Continue, Yeah, and so I'm just curious what
makes them a fascist?

Speaker 15 (21:39):
You pointed out that maybe something about his relationship with
the media. He wants to control it. But yeah, how again,
let's you're specific, you're calling him a fascist.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, well, what it makes them a fascist?

Speaker 19 (21:50):
One of the core tenants of fascism is creating an enemy,
right and blaming those problems on the seat.

Speaker 20 (21:55):
So they gave me.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, so the guy they asked first takes out a
piece of paper that people gave him that you know,
but basically it's a one sheet so you can answer
the questions if there is any questions of why you're
so angry, who gave you that?

Speaker 21 (22:10):
And then people that gave me the sign, it's a
free sign.

Speaker 15 (22:13):
They someone gave you the sign and then they gave
you the handout, So are you reading it now to
see try.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
To answer the question.

Speaker 22 (22:20):
I see that.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Can you hold that?

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Just not? I'm just curious.

Speaker 14 (22:24):
You can have it? I can have it? Yeah, you
can have it all right here?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
So this so where did you get the signs?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (22:31):
All the way in the gate keeper's house.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Okay, yeah, it was just Pinion's door. And that's another one.
They gave you two pieces. I have that one too
if you vote.

Speaker 15 (22:42):
Okay, So what brings you guys out here today?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Because I saw people were hanging out with people from.

Speaker 19 (22:49):
The same thing as everyone else.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Executive overreach.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Really, that's why you came out Executive overreach. Okay, you
have no idea? Away you're out there. That one guy
looked like he had no idea. He's like, hold on here,
let me see here I'm here for And I don't
know if I'm here for this? This could be a
why I'm here? Am I here for this? It's just
he's a fan. I don't know. There's a lot of
people out here. I thought this would be fun, so

(23:14):
I decided to come on out. So Austin Metcalf was
killed last week's stabbed there's no debating that. And now
we have as I said, we were going to politics
was get involved. It's going to become a race thing, black
versus white. You had a seventeen year old Carmelo Anthony,
not the basketball player, stabs a white kid, Austin metcalf

(23:39):
in a like tent at a track meet, and now
the battle of politics is on. I don't know how
much is. It's not a go fundme that don't allow
you to do that. It's like a you know, go
send whatever it is. But he's got over two hundred
thousand dollars total and rising. There's two different ones, not

(24:03):
for the victim, but for the alleged perpetrator and even
some people out there who are how should we say
this black Americans. I just call them Americans. But everybody's
got to make sure everything's okay and politically correct. They're
coming out saying, well, hold on a second.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Y'all, I'm gonna have to pop off for a little bit.
The trablism in the black community needs to end. It
needs to end, point blank, period. Needs to end. The
same people who tried to make George Floyd a hero,
who built statues of the man and compared him to MLK.
Are now trying to make seventeen year old Carmelo Anthony,
who stabbed to death.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
An innocent young boy simply because.

Speaker 24 (24:41):
He touched his backpack, a victim, someone who committed cold
blooded murder.

Speaker 18 (24:47):
There is no world in which Carmelo Anthony is a victim.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Amen, Why did you bring a knife to a track meet?
Why did you do that? And the father's out again
speaking out against you know, talking about, hey, look, it's
two families were destroyed here and now he's getting destroyed, saying,
oh my god, you're a nut, You're a woke lunatic.

(25:14):
How dare you take the victim's side in any of this.

Speaker 25 (25:17):
It's very unfortunate that this other child decided to make
a bad choice that's going to affect him for the rest.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Of his life.

Speaker 25 (25:24):
I have compassion for every human being. This is not
I want to make this very clear. This is not
a race issue. This is not a black and white issue.
I don't want someone stepping up on a soapbox trying
to politicize this. I don't appreciate some of the remarks
I've seen online that people say there was this fight,
and there was they don't know, they weren't there.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
This is what happens. I mean now, So remember his
kid was stabbed, his kid died in his twin brother's arms,
and now there's tons of money being raised for Carmelo Anthony.
He's become a black white issue and the dad's getting
destroyed because he apparently doesn't hate or is it angry enough. No,

(26:06):
he's devastated, and he talked about his faith. And the
fact is he's not forgiving for him. He's for you know,
for he's not forgiving the victim for the victim's sake.
He's forgiven it for his own sake. But it doesn't
matter politics is here, but the fact that people are
raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for the alleged perpetrator,

(26:30):
and it's become this wild now crazy rumor mill of
it was a racist thing. It was why did you
bring a knife to a track meet?

Speaker 26 (26:43):
We need to divorce ourselves from this false no shape
that just because someone looks like us, we need to
defend everything that they do.

Speaker 24 (26:51):
That's how we end up defending people like R.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
Kelly.

Speaker 24 (26:53):
That's how we enup defending people like O. J. Simpson, well,
like Bill Cosby. It's wrong. I don't care what you
look like. If your blue, green, yellow, orange, white, orange
are turquoise. If you do wrong, I'm gonna call balls
and stripes wrong.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Is wrong, Macormelo.

Speaker 22 (27:09):
And he did was.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Point blank wrong.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Absolutely, you killed somebody. Did he have a gun? Did
he threaten your life? Was he choking you out? Was
he what was he? Or was it a fight? Because
you weren't supposed to be inside of the tent. They
asked you to leave on several occasions and lo and behold.

(27:34):
Somewhere between that and the pushing and the shoving out
came a knife and you ended somebody's life.

Speaker 24 (27:41):
Is it all these black social justice warriors online saying
that we need to hear the other side. Here is
the primary fact that we're dealing with. A young boy
is dead over a backpack because a.

Speaker 27 (27:52):
Kid who didn't know how to control himself. He's the
conditions around which he was raised, and that is a travesty.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Doesn't make him a victim. Truth. Carmelo's father has been
speaking out as well, so the father.

Speaker 28 (28:06):
Of Carmelo Anthony, who is the seventeen year old teen
who stabbed and killed the other seventeen year old teen
Austin Metcalf at a track meet is now saying that, oh,
his son was a good kid and he didn't do
anything wrong, and he had a three point seven gpa
and he was a good kid and he wasn't the aggressor,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And again, this is
what I tell Black people. You never hold your children

(28:30):
and you never hold each other accountable. When this stuff happens.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
You need to hold people accountable. I don't know what
the story will end up being, but what I do
know is it became too political, and it became about
race and a bunch of other stuff. And a young
boy is dead. Another young boy, his life is ruined,
and the powers that be you want to make this
about politics and race. And that's the modern world we

(28:56):
live in, which should piss us all off three two,

A Minecraft Movie, a video game adaptation, earned one hundred
and fifty seven million dollars domestically and one hundred and
forty four million internationally for a blockbuster debut. According to
Studio Estimates, it's the biggest of the year and broke
the record for a video game adaptation previously held by
the Super Mario Brothers.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Movie You're Working Man. That's right, let's play second.

Speaker 16 (30:39):
Blason Theaters was a working Man, followed by The Chosen
Last Supper Part two and Snow White.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I will say they miss it just a smidge on
how big that they thought Minecraft would be. They thought
it would be kind of big. They missed by one
hundred million dollars. It's over three hundred million dollars globally.
I think there's going to be a second one. I'm
just going out there speaking of record breaking. Last night,

(31:10):
something happened my son and I watch it. I gotta
be honest with you, I didn't think it would ever
be broken. I didn't. Then you go back to October fifth,
two thousand and five, Washington Capitals playing a home game,
first round pick on the ice.

Speaker 29 (31:27):
Alburn shaded there by Rick nash Zubra spians O.

Speaker 30 (31:32):
Betchick buys these guys.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Alexander Ovechkin, welcome on board.

Speaker 31 (31:39):
What a first goal for Alexander Ovechkin.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Now, I never thought, because the game has changed so much,
that anybody would catch the great one. Now points wise,
that's never gonna happen, just because of all the assist
he has and you have to play for a long time.
But last night it did happen. When it comes to goals,
ov became the greatest. And he called it right before,
which I found fascinating because they had him miked up.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm shit him and to take a shot.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'll bat it to you to come you right away,
all right? I skipped the one here, you passed you out,
you big it to me. I shoot the right the
way as it happened, right side to Wilson shattered up.
Oh That'stan has any stars?

Speaker 31 (32:22):
He stares alex ovestan stars eint ninety five. There's a
new goal scoring champion and his name is Alexander oh Vestan.
He has done it here on Long Island. His teammates

(32:43):
stop him.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
There is but one.

Speaker 31 (32:47):
Alexander the greats, the greatest to ever do it in
National Hockey League history.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Now Wayne Gretzky played fourteen hundred and eighty seven games.
Last night was Alex Ovechkin's fourteen hundred and eighty seventh game.
It was in New York Place went wild. Tickets were going,
even the cheapest parts of the arena for about a

(33:16):
thousand dollars a seat, and Gretzky was there. You know
what else was there? It was very interesting Cash Mattel
because Gretzky is a big fan of Trump, big Maga supporter,
and Cash Bettel was there and they have a picture
afterwards of them all together. But Gretzky had traveled around
and he said, look, when I broke the record, Gordy

(33:40):
followed around. When I got close and close to breaking
the record, he said he was going to be there,
and I felt I should be there as well, and
he was. And good on you, man for that. Good
on you. Incredible, absolutely incredible. Meanwhile, tonight it is it
the final game of college basketball's season. You have Florida

(34:07):
ready to rock and roll, playing for it all.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
Incredibly proud of these guys forgetting this win.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
And we're a lot man.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
We're playing for this national championship on Monday night.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
And you have Houston who was down by fourteen with
a few minutes left against Cooper, Flag and Duke, and
they pulled it out.

Speaker 32 (34:34):
I mean it ain't over because they still got time
on o'clock. And as long as there's time on o'clock,
we're gonna go out there and give it our off.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
And you all you did so tonight you've got Houston
taking on Florida for the national championship in the NCAA Finals.
Should be a hell of a game. I picked Duke.
I thought Duke was going to win it all. I
thought as long as Cooper was healthy, they were going
to win it all. Played great. Wasn't his fault. It

(35:03):
was defense. Defense wins championships. And Houston clamped down those
last few minutes and made it a living hell for
Duke and Lo and behold day won tonight. I gotta say,
I think Houston gets it done tonight three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.

Coming up our number two. Lot of stuff still to
get to more on tariffs. What does it mean? What

(35:45):
will happen? I don't know. How do you not know?
Because everybody I talked to always has it depends how
long did they last. Is it going to be a
blanket pullback of tariffs winning if it comes, or is
this something that is going to last for quite a
long time? Is this a trade war? We're going to

(36:05):
go into Those are the questions that a lot of economists,
financial people have, So we'll talk a little bit about that.
We have more on immigration measles as well. Listening to
the show, grab the podcast Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Tariff for palooza or anything that's a real thing. I've
made that up. Tariffs everywhere? Oh God, I have no
idea what's going to happen. What I do you know
is the market's going to be volatile for the coming days.
It's going to be unsteady. Even if all the tariffs
went awagh today, the fact that they were on the
way that things have happened, it is uncomfortable for a

(37:12):
lot of people out there when it comes to the market,
which really the reality is, isn't the indicator that some
people want. But what is the indicator is the confidence.
And if you start losing confidence, if you start feeling
like things ain't rolling the way that you want them,
the role, if you start feeling uncomfortable about things, well,

(37:34):
that's not good. That's not good because how many times
have I told you and I continue to tell you
this the thing that matters most when you look at
all the indicators, it's not inflation, it's not a lot
of that other stuff. It is consumer confidence. If you
do not feel like things are going great. If you're

(37:56):
a small business owner, you work at a company, what
you're going to stop your habits of spending, whether you're
investing in your company, Worried about whether or not you
should add more people to your company, worried about whether
or not things are going to slow down, you're gonn
have to start laying people off, worried about you may
lose your job. Things like that are the things that matter.

(38:20):
All the other stuff, to me, is just indicators of
noise more than anything else.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
The stock market futures plunging as we're preparing for tomorrow,
the downfalling more than fifteen hundred points on those futures,
What are you anticipating.

Speaker 11 (38:34):
Be a surprised given the self inflicted wound character of
the policies. That's going to increase unemployment, They're going to
hurt businesses, they're going to increase inflation, and they're going
to make it harder for the Fed to cut rates.
Markets are responding to what may be the most damaging
economic policies the United States has enacted since the Second

(38:57):
World War.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Now, how long do they last? What kind of negotiations
are going on behind the scenes, what is the endgame?
Which a lot of people are still trying to figure
out exactly what the endgame is going to be. These
are all questions that are still out there, that still
need to be talked about, that still need to be
hammered out, because we just doub't now certainly.

Speaker 11 (39:21):
What's happening in futures markets suggests that there's real disappointment
that the President is doubling down on his errors, that
policies that everybody on the outside sees has misguided are
simply being reinforced, and that's very damaging for our economy.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
And as the economy goes, so goes everything else. When
it comes to politics and that includes the midterms, which
is what a lot of politicians are worried about. You
and I are worried about the cost of life. Everybody
else in the world of politics is worried about their job.

(40:07):
Oh yeah, their job. And Trump believes this is the
best way for us to get rid of a lot
of these tariffs. Remember there's two kinds of serve their
service trade and then there's goods. And we've got to
deficit with the goods because we're buying way more than

(40:28):
we're shipping, but we're shipping out a lot of the services,
and that's why those defenses aren't even bigger. So this
is going to be very interesting the way that this
plays itself out because of the politics. And yes, the
politics may lead us to a recession, but it also

(40:51):
may lead us to something bigger. I can't bet against Trump,
but I'd be lying if I didn't say that there
was some nervousness on my part as well as everybody else's.
But it's going to play itself out, and at some
point in time you just have to go, well, there's
another that we can do to turn it around, not

(41:14):
right this second. So we're gonna have to see where
it goes from here three, two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show to Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things right here on
the Chad Benson Show. One of the other things that
intrigues me about the tariffs and the battle that is
going on is that somehow this is going to return

(41:35):
manufacturing and the greatness of manufacturing back to the United States,
which I continue to say, our greatness is no longer
about building cheap goods. Our greatness is the fact that
we come up with great ideas and we export them.
And that isn't just a China to make cheap crap, right,
That's it's not. We have service things that we do,

(41:58):
finance in durance. I mean, there's so many things that
we do that are incredible, software things like that that
is part of the getting stuff out to the globe.
And we have a surplus in a lot of those things.
But somehow there's still this thought process that hey, we're

(42:19):
going to start manufacturing stuff. Here's gonna be the greatest
thing ever. And and I just I don't see it
the way that Miss Sargon sees it here. And by
the way I think Botchya is smart. I think a
lot of stuff she says is good, and I'd like
the idea and maybe the thought of it in some ways.

(42:40):
But I don't know what generation she's speaking to when
it comes to like bringing back stuff here and this
is going to make men more men.

Speaker 33 (42:47):
The range that you see on Wall Street. What they
are trying to do here is they are shorting the
president's agenda because Wall Street thinks, after sixty years of
being utterly catered to, that they control this country and
that they should control the president and all of our
elected officials. And of course they think that because that

(43:09):
has been the case.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
For so long. I think you bring up a really
important point, Rachel.

Speaker 33 (43:14):
It's not just the destruction of the economic vitality of
the working class, but there has been a spiritual decimation
that has come along that in crisis in masculinity, because
we shipped jobs that gave men who work with their
hands for a living and rely on braad and physicality

(43:35):
off to other countries to build up their middle class,
and then we imported millions and millions of illegals to
work in construction, to work in yes, manufacturing. What's left
here to work in landscaping, to work in janitorial services,
to work in a whole bunch of jobs that used
to give men access to the American dream.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Yeah, somewhat true, But we also changed, you know. So
one of the things that I don't think people really
recognize is how much Americans have changed, how much a
younger generation has changed this thought process that we're going
to somehow magically bring back this and all of a sudden,
there's going to be the giant factories and there's going
to whistle blowing, And that isn't true because a younger

(44:21):
generation in particular, they don't want that. And they may
want to work with their hands, but they don't want
to work in a factory. And there's no guarantees that
those factories are going to be full of human beings.
But yes, is there a masculinity problem. Of course there is,
But it has a lot more to do I think,
with school and with education than it does with what's

(44:42):
going on in factories or no factories.

Speaker 33 (44:46):
Working class people now they make just a fraction more
than they made in the seventies, but the cost of
the things.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
That ensure the American dream.

Speaker 33 (44:54):
A house are retirement, healthcare, an education, for your kids.
This stuff is skyrocketed, and so their purchasing power has
been totally demolished. And what has the Democrats response been
to this, Let's open the border and bring.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
In marshpeople them for much less.

Speaker 33 (45:15):
Right, So dal Trump is only saying no more to
this and to the crisis in masculinity, which is of
course why young men feel so attracted to what he's
got fing.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Look the crisis masculinity. We've talked about it, we talked
about adolescent We've got a crisis going on right now
in I think the way that young men are taking
out their angers of so many things in the world
on each other. In case in point, what took place
last week in Texas, Dallas, the stabbings just outside of

(45:48):
Dallas and the school the track met with Austin Metcalf
and this battle of I think young men who are
trying to figure out where the hell they belong in life,
and somehow, in some way, shape or form, everything now
has to end in some sort of violence. There's no conversation,
there's not even throwing fist, as the kids would say,

(46:09):
we're not throwing hands anymore. People are shooting each other,
they're stabbing each other. It's insane. But the thought that, yeah, well,
if I had tariffs, tariffs are going to bring back manufacturing,
which you you going to help men into a world
of being, you know, from loss to being masculine. Now,

(46:30):
I gotta be honest, I'm not buying that one right.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't know if I'm buying
that one right there three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at you had Benson Show, to
your Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. A
lot of you chiming in about the wackadoo protesters that
have been out there. And there's so many crazy protesters

(46:50):
that were out this weekend in several different places. It
was funny, it was sad. And you know, I did
some stuff today with the Chicks on the Right, and
I was talking to Daisy about this, and if you
guys know a chick on the right love them, and

(47:11):
I fill in, you know, I'm the chick with a
front that's allowed to be on the show. And one
of the things, though, that we've talked about is how
old so many of these protesters were comparatively to what
you see when it goes to the climate change. And
stuff like that, and I was explaining to them it's
a fear factor. An older generation looks around and they

(47:32):
see all the stuff happening, and they're scared. They're scared
because they don't think that Social Security is going to
be their Medicare, Medicaid's going to be blown up. They're
gonna be stuck in a position where all of a
sudden they're gonna have to unretire, or they're gonna go
from being able to get by and not struggle to
struggle and have make certain decisions and things like that.

(47:53):
There is a fear factor out there with a lot
of this stuff, and watching these protests this week and
it was having it. There was a much more older
crowd compared to what you'd think when you know, as
far as a movement goes, and a bunch of young people.
Talk a little bit more about that later. We got
some wacky stuff out there. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 29 (49:47):
Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Junior now advocating for the measles
vaccine in his most direct statement yet while visiting the
epicenter of the ongoing measles outbreak. The US has now
seen more than six hundred confirmed measle cases across twenty
one state this year. That's double the number of cases
seen during all of last year and growing quickly. Now, Kennedy,
who's been highly skeptical of the measles vaccine as recently

(50:08):
as last month, now encouraging Americans to get the JAB,
releasing a statement saying the most effective way to prevent
the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
The whole vaccine thing. And I go back to this
is COVID issue, right This is a COVID issue. People
now are hesitant to get the vaccine because of covid,
not because of anything that's happening right now. This is
a failure of the federal government because they lied, they BSD,

(50:39):
they twisted, they used COVID as a means in certain
areas of control. They weren't transparent and straightforward with us,
and so now people are hesitant even though it's safe. Well,
what if I'm not saying there's not people out there
that would take this as a child and the potential

(51:00):
for something to happen. Course, how many times we said this,
If everybody took ashmen today, people are going to have
a reaction to it. Somebody is not everybody a small amount.
Do I think we over vaccinate? Yes? Do I think
our immune system needs to be allowed to do its thing. Absolutely,

(51:20):
But I blame this on the faucies of the world
and what COVID became, which was not about health, it
was about politics.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
The child was school age. They were hospitalized in Lubbock.

Speaker 34 (51:31):
They passed away Thursday, according to the recent update from
health officials, and the child died of what doctors described
as measles pulmonary failure, so a problem with their lungs,
a complication of measles. Importantly, the child was unvaccinated and
they did not have any underlying medical conditions. You know,
the measles infection is definitely a culprit here.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Absolutely, and it spreads fast. That's the worry of it.

Speaker 34 (51:56):
The real reason we are so concerned with the public
health community is so concerned about measles is because of
how contagious it is, particularly for people who are unvaccinated.
Those are the real risk of contracting it, and measles
is contagious in the way where if someone has measles
and they're inner room hours later, someone else could walk
through that same room and contract the disease.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter tweet at us
text the program right here in the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 34 (52:26):
So it is a really, really fast spreading virus.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
It's just common sense. And I understand there's some people
out there, Like I said, I'm a bit hesitant in
the amount of stuff given at once, and it's fine
to ask questions, but at the same time, we've gotten
to the point now where it's like, well, it's all
or nothing and once again no area for nuance, and

(52:51):
somebody you're saying, how is their nuance? We don't need
to give the kids the schedule. I think we get them.
I think it's smart to give some and I've talked
to my doctors people or some of them are just
doctors that I know, some are friends. I just think

(53:11):
that there's a we have to start feeling like we
can trust again, and I don't think we're going to
for a while. And COVID played a big part in it.
And should something come along that is far deadlier than
COVID because of the lack of trust we have right

(53:33):
now in our government, that is scary. That is absolutely scary.
Getting vaccinated isn't as dangerous as they want to make
it out to be. Some people out there who believe
that this is all about the pharmaceutical companies and all
about you guys. Know you guys listen to me. You know,

(53:54):
I'm not a fan of a lot of the stuff
that they have done, but this became politics more more
than common sense, and that is frustrated three two, three, five, three,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows for
Twitter tweeted us text to program letting from all of
you right here on the Chad Benson.

Speaker 5 (54:14):
Show, Sun, Chad Benson Shoe.

Speaker 1 (54:37):

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Not all protests that took place this weekend, we're anti
Trump and elon protests. Some of them were out there
pro protesting, pro tech, you know what I mean.

Speaker 21 (54:52):
Two days ago, General Notice Corporation announced that they were
expanding vehicle production in the United States in the state
of Indiana for the first time in about twenty five years. Yesterday,
the jobs report came out saying that two hundred and
twenty eight thousand jobs were added to the US economy,

(55:13):
more than all economists had predicted, which was about half
of that amount. Finally, someone is taking care of business,
the US government reducing spending. And here we have in
downtown Philadelphia protesting. They want less jobs, they want less
productions in American plants, and apparently they want more government spending.

(55:37):
And that's the way the world is to see you
next time.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Well, I guess we'll see you next time. Very excited
about all the stuff that's happening, am I.

Speaker 20 (55:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Not great by what's happening. I think that there's going
to be a lot of issues. And as I try
to explain to people who are worried about the stock market,
if you're thirty two, you're not that worried about stock
market because you're not taking any of that money out
unless you're a day trader and you like the volatility.
So there you go. If you're seventy two, you're worried

(56:10):
about the stock market, especially if you've got your four
oh one K and all that stuff tied up in it. Yes,
so there's a difference there, And depending on what audience
is listening, they're going to have different worries, different needs.
If you are seventy two, you're probably not worried about
manufacturing coming back today because you're probably not going to

(56:32):
go work in manufacturing. If you're thirty two, you're thinking,
I'd like some of these jobs to come back. But
would you really, honestly, do you really want some of
those jobs to come back? Because when I hear people say, oh,
we want jobs to come back, really, do you really
what kind of job do you want to come back?
Making socks in a factory. You don't want to do that,
so don't bs me. Making shoes for Nike, Yeah, you

(56:59):
don't want to do that either. Now you'd like to
design them, but you don't want to make them, right,
So stop with the Oh my god, it's gonna be
great when all these jobs come back. None of these
jobs or jobs you want, so don't bs me. That's
what's amazing about all this. I hears Oh, we're gonna
do this. We're gonna do I'm here to tell you

(57:22):
don't blow smoke kids. Okay, can we just be honest.
We can sit here and pretend like, oh, you don't
understand ched all these jobs are gonna come back. You're
gonna be so awesome and stuff. It's like, no, no,
they're not. They're not. You don't want to work inside

(57:42):
of a factory, so don't tell me you do if
that's the only skill you have. Okay, we can't get
these kids to work inside of an office. The thought
of them having to go back to the office is
freaking them out. You know, when they'll care about manufacturing,
when they can do from their house on their time,

(58:03):
that's when they'll care. We're doing it for the future. Yeah,
the future's not interested in that, right. They're more interested
in you fixing TikTok and making sure it stays here
than anything else.

Speaker 35 (58:17):
I spoke with some of the organizers of those protests,
and they acknowledge that in order for them to affect change,
there has to be some sort of sustained movement. It
can't just be one day of protests. But I know
that democrats are going to be looking to rally support
from folks who are out in the streets yesterday in
hopes of reclaiming some power.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Hopes of reclaiming some power. Well, you've got to be
able to lead, and you guys can't lead squad. But
the protesters were out in arms, and by that I
mean they were just out there, mostly older people, Like
I said, in a lot of these things that I saw, Yes,
there were some younger people, but when you think of
protests nowadays, you think people gluing themselves to stuff. It
was mostly older people in their sixties and seventies and

(58:56):
a lot of places who are upset about what is happening,
thinking the world is now been handed over to billionaires
and they're going to take everything that they worked hard
for and going to take it away from them. We
protesting today.

Speaker 10 (59:08):
Donald Trump, Well what's Donald Trump doing that with protesting?

Speaker 9 (59:11):
Well, he is the American democracy right now and trying
to kind of repeal a bunch in the constitution, like
you know, rights and liberties.

Speaker 10 (59:22):
So is there anything in specific that he's I don't
have all the information, but.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
But I don't have all the information, but I do
know stuff. You know, the things he's doing with the
stuff and the Nazi He's doing Nazi stuff everywhere, just
Nazi stuff. Just can't stop the Nazi stuff. What are
you against?

Speaker 9 (59:46):
Personally? I'm against tyrants. I'm against tyranny, That's what I'm against.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
What is that somebody.

Speaker 9 (59:52):
Who's coming in and trying to take over the country
and get rid of the rules and regulations that have
existed for centuries to keep US citizens safe. Who do
you think is doing to currently Donald Trump and Elon
Musk and all of his cabinet members.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Yeah, just non stop, that's all they're doing. Can't stop.
And they're like, what right can we take away from
people today? Settle down their kids. That was many a
folk out there that were out there. And you know
the other thing I noticed and everybody asked me because
I went out to the big Tesla one out here
in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. I had jacked
this weekend, so I wasn't going out. My son and

(01:00:30):
I a lot of stuff going on, and he's taken
off and leaving today. He's only been out for ten
days a mc in for a while, So I wasn't
going to go down to because you know, Focahontas was
here in Nashville, Elizabeth Warren for those of you who
don't know, and I'm just like, I don't you know.
But one thing I did notice when I saw the
science is everybody was protesting for something else. Elon's a fascists. Okay,

(01:00:52):
I don't know what that. You know, Elon's a Nazi
and Trump's a fascists. Okay, So what's the protest?

Speaker 11 (01:01:00):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
You want to affect? Change what you know? Eldon? Over here,
you had the Palestine, lots of LGBTQ, plus immigration was one.
So there wasn't a unified thing when it came to
the protests this weekend. Although I did see a lot
of people talking about immigration. That's a big deal, right.

(01:01:21):
Trump has gone and fixed the border and the mess
that was the border and stop the flow of people
coming here illegally and abusing the system. Most still have
a lot of people here, and one person may have
to come back.

Speaker 36 (01:01:36):
A federal judge yesterday refused to delay a deadline for
the Trump administration to return Kilmar a Brego Garcia to
the US. The administration acknowledges a Brego Garcia, a Green
card holder, was mistakenly put on a plane to El
Salvador with more than two hundred alleged gang members because
of an administrative error. The judge says, the government is

(01:01:56):
given no proof that a Breako Garcia was a gang member,
and you need.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Proof, and we've talked about that. I'm a big believer
in measure, not once, not twice, but maybe in some
occasions three times. And get it right. Did you get
somebody out of here that now you may have to
bring back here.

Speaker 14 (01:02:15):
Kill mar Armando Abrego, Garcia's wife, who was a US citizen,
issuing for his immediate return. A Rezruvenni, who argued the
administration's case, repeatedly struggled in court, telling the judge he
was frustrated that I have no answers for you to
so many of her questions, including under what authority Abrago
Garcia was taken into custody. Attorney General Pam Bondi also

(01:02:37):
placing his boss on leave for failure to supervise a subordinate, saying,
any attorney who fails to advocate on behalf of the
United States will face consequences.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Yeah, so, if you're not advocating on behalf of the
United States, they're going to get you out of here
if you work for the government, meaning I couldn't explain
to why we got rid of this guy because there
was no good explanation. Then we thought his tattoos looked
like they could be dangerous. I'm joking, and so we

(01:03:08):
send him on his way. Yikes. Ah, you didn't do
a good enough job. Now there's more day Immigration South Sudan.
You were looking at you kid, If you've got a visa,
you might be on your way.

Speaker 37 (01:03:21):
Secretary of State Marco Rubil announcing yesterday I am taking
actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders,
effective immediately, alleging South Sudan hasn't been taking back their
own citizens in a timely manner. The measure possibly affecting
Duke University basketball player. Come on, ma launch a freshman

(01:03:44):
from South Sudan and a star of this season's March
Madness tournament.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Yeah, I don't think he's going anywhere. They're not also
going in because they lost, So just point that out
as well. Oh, just much drama. Where's the no drama?
Do we have a no drama day? I would like that.
I keep telling everybody it's too much drama in politics.

(01:04:11):
It's become a soap opera. We don't want nothing going
on because that's scary, right. It's like when kids are
in the other room and they're quiet, and you're like,
oh my god, what's going on. I bet they're doing
something they're not supposed to. But we also don't want
what we have, which is it seems like chaos. And
that's kind of where we're at now. It's either everything

(01:04:34):
or nothing. With Biden it was nothing, and with trumpets
everything got are your text and tweets coming in. We're
talking earlier about, you know, the the whole thought of
tariffs and whatnot, and Cassandra says, this is true about terroriffs.

(01:04:58):
But I keep thinking in the future and I'm praying
and telling us that this is going to get better.
It may again, we don't know what it looks like
at the end of the day. What we do know
is at this moment in time is very uncomfortable. And
what the end goal is, or at least what the
president thinks it might be, is one thing. What the

(01:05:20):
generation that he's hoping it works for is another thing.

Irre like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Just chats. We still have TikTok still tiktoking.

Speaker 30 (01:07:02):
The deal would allow Byte Dance to keep a stake
under twenty percent, and Trump was to sign an executive
order for the agreement this week so long as China
also signed off.

Speaker 14 (01:07:10):
Vanta's team believed that they had a really good deal.

Speaker 30 (01:07:13):
But then the President made his tarif announcement on Wednesday,
and on Thursday morning, Byte Dance informed the White House
that China would not approve anything for TikTok until negotiations
could be held on the Trumps tariffs. So until then,
that algorithm remains in byte Dance's control and a deal
for TikTok remains on hold.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Oh my lord, it's still there. Though I checked on it.
Still it's still right there. So TikTok is there. Could
still go and check it out because there's a pause
in the banning of it. Could still there. Oh my god,
I don't you want the algorithm? That's the thing that matters.

(01:07:50):
Everything else can be replicated, reproduced, made better, all of
that stuff you want. The algorithm, it is all that
matters everything else. And then it was like, well, we're
gonna lease it. Wait what with an option to buy?
How does that work? How many times have we told
you guys this? The TikTok algorithm is a guarded secret.

(01:08:15):
So it is a national security secret in China. And
I don't think they're gonna let anybody in America or
anywhere else at this moment in time buy that thing.
So the battle shall continue. Indeed, don't mess up around

(01:08:36):
this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
When Michael Brian retired from Ford, okay, that.

Speaker 23 (01:08:39):
Is a serious bless Oh my god. Wow, he kept
an unusual workplace memento.

Speaker 38 (01:08:47):
This is the Bord word Shrine.

Speaker 23 (01:08:49):
An exhaustive list of every time someone at the office
flubbed a freeze.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
He's not the smartest knife in the drawer.

Speaker 23 (01:08:57):
More than twenty two hundred entries over the past decade,
some off by a single word. I heard it through
the grapefruit. I don't want to be a dead horse.
Too many cooks in the soup. There are also metaphorical
mix ups. A sheep in wolf's clothing, and then just
the totally far fetched, like the slowest elk in the jungle.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
I love this. So this guy has giant whiteboards of
every time his coworkers screwed up a phrase, got words
missed up? That's see, got words missed up? Oh my god,
I'm already on there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
What was behind this effort?

Speaker 38 (01:09:39):
What happened was there was multiple fumbles or as somebody
once said, flumble, and so I'm gonna write down on
the board, and somebody did it the next day, and
we did it again, and it just took off.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
And no one spared.

Speaker 23 (01:09:52):
You'll find O'Brien's name listed more than one hundred times.
Even Fords ceo these.

Speaker 38 (01:09:58):
Little moments within the day of levity. It just brought
everybody together.

Speaker 23 (01:10:04):
Since the Wall Street Journal first profiled O'Brien, his list
of verbal blunders has gone viral, inspiring book inquiries. I
think it speaks to the relatability factor here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
Yeah, everybody does it.

Speaker 23 (01:10:16):
He's now passed the torch to several coworkers, though in
their words, O'Brien is forever unbackfillable, unbackfillable.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
I love that. Oh my lord, we've all screwed up.
I do it. I talk for a living. Of course,
I'm going to make mistakes. Sometimes it's just a slip,
you know, in your mind. Other times you're like, did
I say that right? It feels wrong? It feels I
messed that one up, didn't I? Speaking of messing up?

(01:10:46):
Are you a micro cheater?

Speaker 16 (01:10:47):
Liking a co worker's photo on social media, sending them
direct messages, checking in on Slack more often than before,
All this with someone outside your relationship. Your significant other
might consider it micro cheating because it can build a bond.
The issue has become more common with the rise of
remote works. As William Schroeder, a therapist and owner of
Just Mind Counseling Centers in Austin, Texas, HM, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
So is it only for who you're attracted to? And
I'm talking about sex wives, So if you're straight women,
if you're gay women or men, you know, whatever, So
if you're a man and vice versa. So if if
you're a dude and your buddies are out having fun
and you click on that, that's not micro cheating. But

(01:11:36):
if one of them is a female that's out there
having fun, that's micro cheating. Hmmm, very very interesting, very
interesting indeed three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson's show. It is your ex
your Insta right, so you can go like and subscribe

forget we do have a podcast. You can grab the
podcast if you miss any of the show right here
on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up our number three

(01:12:20):
more on tariffs. What's it look like? I don't know.
What I do know is it's probably gonna go a
little higher price wise in the coming days.

Speaker 39 (01:12:29):
Analysts say Americans could see higher prices on some goods
in a week to ten days. Shoppers were seen over
the weekend at stores like Costco buying in bulk hoping
to beat any rising prices.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
The tariffs are.

Speaker 39 (01:12:41):
Also affecting high end products Jaguar and land Rover. They
are pausing shipments to the US because of that tariff
on imported cars.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
It's going to be expensive out their potential. We don't
know what it looks like because all of these things,
like in life, subject to change. You missing the show,
grab the podcast Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
This is the Chad ben Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
The stock markets are going to be the wildest ride
in New Wilderness. I stole that from Disney. When you
go take Thunder Mountain, there's a portion where they're like,
this year's the wildest ride New Wilderness. Stock markets are
that way. They're gonna be all over the place for
the coming days. Volatility Baby.

Speaker 17 (01:13:50):
The London Sock Exchange open more than five percent down.
That is a one year low. On the continent, things
are even worse. The Italian market lost more than seven percent,
Many six percent, and frants five percent. That is in
addition to the losses that these markets took last week
when Donald Trump announced these tariffs.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Up down, up down. Volatility all over the place, buying opportunities.
People are gonna jump in, shorting opportunities, they're gonna jump out.
How long do these things last? N I don't know.
If you're a day trader, you're like, this is what
I want volatility, I want movement. If you're long term trader,
you're not paying that much attention to it, And if

(01:14:30):
you're retired, you probably have your stuff and things that
are probably a little bit more conservative. That's kind of
what it's all about at this moment in time, and
there's gonna be swings. You've seen it today. You've seen
swings of about two thousand points. You're going to see
a lot of this over the coming days, weeks, and

(01:14:51):
months while these tariffs stay in play. And I don't
know how long they're gonna stay here. Could be out,
could be days, could be months.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
And the reason is simple because I don't know what
is what meaning? Are we tiffing them and it's for
real and we're going to stick to it no matter what.
Are we terriffing them because we're sending them a message
and we want to negotiate something that has nothing to
do with tariffs. Are we terriffing them because all of

(01:15:28):
these things, all of these things are subject to change.
Understand that bitternavarrow. So what is enough?

Speaker 5 (01:15:35):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:15:35):
You take any given country. They're like fingerprints. They all
cheat us in a different way. So here are the
things they cheat us on. Some of them engage in
currency manipulation, some of them have a hefty vat TEX.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
All of them dump into.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Our markets, all of them engage in heavy export subsidies
and government subsidies. All of them put up these phony
technical and fido sanitary barriers to our ad products and
our autos and everything in between. Many of them steal
our intellectual property. A lot of them runs sweatshop believer,

(01:16:09):
including forced child labor. They have pollution havens. So when
you say to me, Ed, what do we want from them?
We want fairness. We don't want them to kill American
workers by ending data is with this non tariff cheating,
and it would be really refreshing to have the media
talk more about that, this zero tariff thing. It's it's

(01:16:33):
it's a misdirection. No, it's a misdirection. It's a non terriffs.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
It's the non TEARFF barriers. What does that mean? I
don't know, because I don't know what their endgame is.
Here's where it matters to you. It doesn't at this
moment in time, until things started getting more expensive, and
that could take a couple of weeks, and in a
couple weeks some of this stuff may be removed, so

(01:17:02):
you may see a bump in price and then things
go back down because we don't know what we're doing
as far as each country. Now, I think the China
thing is much different. Like the China thing is a
bigger battle that has to do a lot more with

(01:17:27):
the long term and a new Cold War and several things.
But when it comes to Vietnam, when it comes to
a lot of these other places, this is you know, look,
Europe being one of them, even you know, you've got
Elon out here saying it'd like us to be it,
you know, kind of no tariffs anywhere in Europe.

Speaker 22 (01:17:50):
I hope that, I hope that the United States.

Speaker 5 (01:17:55):
And Europe.

Speaker 22 (01:17:57):
Can establish a very close part of show. We obviously are,
there's an alliance already, but I'm hopeful that there can
be a very close relationship with America and Europe. And
I'm hopeful, for example, with the tariffs, that that at
the end of the day, I hope it is greed
that both Europe and the United States should move ideally

(01:18:20):
in my view, to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating
a free trade zone between Europe and North America, and
that that would be my That's what I hope I
hope occurs.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
I think we all hope that. Will it happen? Maybe
maybe not, I don't know, because I again I don't
know what so we we tear iff Europe, we tear
iff the UK, we tear if Israel. Israel's like, well,
we're gonna have no tariffs. It's going to be straight
across the board. But we're still going to slap you
with the ten dollars tariff, I mean ten percent tariff

(01:18:53):
because Trump thinks that everybody should be paying to have
access to to our You know, is so many things
that is all over the place. When it comes to this,
how it matters is is it going to cost you
more money? Right, let's throw away all the crap. If
you're thirty two, you don't care about the stock market
unless you're a day trader. If you're twenty two, same thing.

(01:19:18):
You're not paying that much attention to it. If it
costs you more money, and you're starting to see the
quality of life that you have, which in many cases
may be a bit of a struggle, start to be
affected in a negative way, then this is going to
become a political issue, which it already is because everything

(01:19:42):
is politics today. I was talking to the chicks on
the right today and I said, here's what politics is about.
You could go outside and somebody could say something about
your lawn and you could say I want it here,
and the other person could say I want there, and
it can become an issue of politics. That's just the

(01:20:05):
reality of how we live our lives now is we
can take something and make it political for no reason whatsoever.
And it's frustrating as hell. We shouldn't want that, but
unfortunately that's what the world has become. This will affect
you when the things that you care about become more

(01:20:26):
expensive and life becomes more difficult. That's when this will
affect you. To sit here and pretend like well the
stock market, most people don't trade equities. They have a
four to oh one k at best, and they're nowhere
near drawing on it at this moment in time. The

(01:20:47):
market's going to go up, the market's going to go down,
and we've seen that all day today. You need to
care about when does life get more expensive because you're
already struggling with things like I don't know, affordable housing,
You're already struggling paying your bills, and if this makes

(01:21:12):
it worse, then you're going to really make enough noise
that will get some more attention, rather than the protest
that we saw this week and which quite frankly we're
mostly older generation of people that have every right to
be concerned because their money's in the market and that's

(01:21:32):
their money to live off forever. But you're thirty five, man,
you care about what you can't afford a house, you
could barely afford to pay your bills. You're thirty five.

(01:21:55):
You care about things that thirty five year olds care
about that thirty two year olds care about the twenty
five year olds care about. Not whether or not your
retirement is being affected today, because you're nowhere near retirement.
You're starting to think you're gonna have to take out
another loan, You're starting to think you have to get
another job. You got a side hustle to your side hustle.

(01:22:23):
So what's going on affects everybody in different ways, and
most of it's generational. And that's one of those things
where depending on your generation. For me, I look at
the stock market today, I go, eh, why I'm not

(01:22:44):
drawing on it anytime soon? The money's there, I can't.
You know. The plane's left all right, we're in the air.
We're not turning around at this point in time, so
nobody's getting off the ride. We're just gonna finish this
thing and see where it goes. We've got a destination
of mind. We're gonna have some turbulence there you go.

(01:23:09):
Like I said, though, if you are a baby boomer
and you're drawing on this and you got your four
oh one k and you haven't gone and really diversified
all over the place, and you've got some stuff at risk,
or you're seeing some of that draw down get really
drawn down. All of a sudden, there is a little
bit more worry. Each one of us are going to

(01:23:34):
be affected generationally in a much different way, There's no
doubt about that. But it ain't getting fixed today, and
freaking out about it ain't gonna change it. And the
one thing about politics is politicians seya themselves better than anybody.

(01:23:55):
And if this gets to the point where it's untenable
for a publicans in particular, because they're looking at their
their their chances to hold onto the House, maybe increase seats,
hold onto the Senate, maybe increase seats. If they start
to see those things go down, and now all of
a sudden they're talking about losing power, losing control. That

(01:24:16):
noise that you're making will pale in comparison to the noise.
They're making apps friggin lutely three two, three, five, three eight,

Right here In the Chad Benson Show, Phil Foden soccer

(01:29:04):
player SNL hands off protests Buncraft smashing the box office
receipts this weekend in a major way. By the way,
it's a few of the things trending in the magical
world of the Internet. I mean tariffs. It's about tariffs.

(01:29:27):
That's the reality of it. Number one trending things. What
everybody's talking about, the fear of where things are going,
what's going to happen. I couldn't tell you because I
don't know how long they're going to be on. I
don't know what the end goal is here. And when
I hear people say, well, it's about bringing back jobs,

(01:29:47):
I just I don't buy it. It sounds great, but
the reality is those just aren't the jobs that Americans
are going to do, and there's no guarantee. You know.
The fact is that we still want our cheap goods.
So even if they're made in America, you know what,
automated make them cheap. And we've got a problem. As

(01:30:10):
I've been saying for a very long time, the consumption
problem that we have in the US is tremendous. We
like crap absolutely as cheap it so we can get it,
and that is an issue when you're price focused and
a lot of people don't want us to be price focused.
A lot of people out there now now no we
being American first. That sounds great, but I'm still going

(01:30:32):
to compare you to other prices because that's what everybody's
gonna do. And if you've got a limited budget, then
you're definitely the price focused three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter? Tweet ed us text the program. If'm missing
of the show, shame on. You got the podcast. It
is the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 5 (01:30:52):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
It's about race, is it? Or is it about a
horrible situation in which a.

Speaker 1 (01:31:27):
Young man.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
Took another young man's life, and now politics has gotten involved.
And because politics gets involved, it has turned everything into
a nightmare. And it's already a nightmare. So if you
don't know the story, Austin metcalf at a track meet

(01:31:52):
with his school in Texas and Carmelo Anthony not with
his team at this track meet, goes into so his

(01:32:12):
team's on at another tent. Because you know, if you've
ever been to a track meet, first of all, they
take forever, and secondly, you've got the teams set up
in their own places. So you got Carmel Anthony goes over.
Not the basketball player. I want to tell everybody, it's

(01:32:32):
not the basketball player. So people are like, Carmelo Anthony
do what No, No, not that basketball player. This was
Another youngster goes over and gets into some sort of
argument with Austin Matthews after Austin's twins says, hey, go
be with your own team. This isn't your tent, and

(01:32:57):
words were exchanged, including now, dare you to touch me?
Shoving back and forth. Then allegedly Carmelo went into his backpack,
pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin and killed him.

(01:33:18):
One of them is black, one of them is white.
And now race has become a massive point of contention
in this situation, and Carmelo has by the last accounts
twenty or thirty give sen Goo accounts, go fund me things,

(01:33:41):
whatever they are. There's several of them. I don't think
you could do gofund me with this. There's a lot
of them out there that gives in goes and whatnot,
and a bunch of money's been raised. You've had a
lot of people, advocates and people in the black community
to come out and said he was a hero. Somebody
said and that this is just like Daniel Penny and
what's place in the subway, etc. So, I mean, this

(01:34:03):
is where it's gone. But you've also got a lot
of black snick Vinnie going, yeah, this guy's no hero.
No no, no, no no.

Speaker 28 (01:34:10):
So the father of Carmelo Anthony, who is the seventeen
year old teen who stabbed and killed the other seventeen
year old teen, Austin Metcalf at a track meet, is
now saying that, oh, his son was a good kid,
and he didn't do anything wrong, and he had a
three point seven GPA, and he was a good kid,
and he wasn't the aggressor, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And again
this is what I tell black people. You never hold

(01:34:34):
your children and you never hold each other accountable when
this stuff happens.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Oh wait a minute here, how dare you say that
you must be a racist even though you are a
person of color.

Speaker 28 (01:34:48):
And the reason that you have a seventeen year old
black kid, Carmelo Anthony that literally stabbed and killed this
other young boy, Austin Metcalf, took his life, destroyed that
family and also destroyed his own life because he's going
to be in jail for the rest of his life.
And the reason that they are like this is because

(01:35:09):
they do not have discipline, they do not have parents around.
And even he couldn't have possibly had a father around,
you would.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
Think, now, look, just because you have a dad around
doesn't mean you're going to grow up and be perfect.
Doesn't mean you're going to grow up and not do
something stupid. Doesn't mean you're going to grow up and
you're not going to snap. I mean, there are plenty
of people out there who, yes, absolutely have done horrible
things and they've had mom and dad in their life.
And there's plenty of people out there who've been raised

(01:35:41):
basically gen X style with no mom, no dad and
have gone on to have pretty good lives, be productive
society members. That's not always the case, though vast majority
of time we know what the case is. But it
became about race, and that's where we are at this

(01:36:02):
moment in time. This was a horror that this happened,
and it's got to the point now where the fathers
come out again. Austin Metcalf's father has come out and
said it's not about race. This shouldn't be about politics.
This is a horrible situation for everybody, including the family

(01:36:27):
of the alleged killer and his family.

Speaker 25 (01:36:29):
It's very unfortunate that this other child decided to make
a bad choice that's going to affect him for the
rest of his life. I have compassion for every human being.
This is not I want to make this very clear.
This is not a race issue. This is not a
black and white issue. I don't want someone stepping up
on a soapbox trying to politicize this. I don't appreciate

(01:36:51):
some of the remarks I've seen online that people say
there was this fight and there they don't know, they
weren't there.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
He came out last week said I forgive him, and
he goes, that's not about him as much as is
about me. I don't want to carry this with me,
and it became about race. Now he's getting blasted for saying,
how dare you forgive him? How dare are you kidding me? Well,

(01:37:20):
if you're a Christian, that's what you're supposed to do.
He didn't say forgive like es In, I'm never going
to forget what you did. He even said he deserves
the death penalty. But it doesn't mean I don't forgive him,
but it doesn't matter. It became about race, and it
became political. And as much as you're hearing people come
out and say this guy yes, if you don't believe me,

(01:37:42):
there are so many tweets out there like this guy's
a hero. He was attacked first. It's just like Jim
Crow and you're like, are you kidding me? You're also
getting people out there who are coming out who are
or black Americans. I just think they're Americans. But you know,
everybody's got to put somebody in some sort of box
and said, yet, no wrong, y'all.

Speaker 6 (01:38:02):
I'm gonna have to pop off for a little bit.
The travelism in the black community needs to end. It
needs to end, point blank, period needs to end. The
same people who tried to make George Floyd a hero,
who built statues of the man and compared him to MLK,
are now trying to make seventeen year old Carmelo Anthony,
who stabbed to death an innocent young boy simply because

(01:38:24):
he touched his backpack, a victim someone who.

Speaker 24 (01:38:27):
Committed cold blooded murder.

Speaker 18 (01:38:30):
There is no world in which Carmelo Anthony is a
victim Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38:37):
First of all, why you have a knife at a
track meet? Why do you have a knife at a
track meet? And why was your first response to grab
your knife and to stab somebody? Well, that's because this
person pushed me, or this person was there. Why are

(01:39:00):
you in somebody else's tent? I mean, we can go
on andno, there's so much why why why? But I
also go back to why was your first response to
take out a knife and try to stab somebody?

Speaker 26 (01:39:20):
We need to divorce ourselves from this false nose shape
that just because someone looks like us, we need to
defend everything that they do.

Speaker 24 (01:39:29):
That's how we end up defending people like R. Kelly,
That's how we have defitting people like O. J. Simpson,
but like Bill Cosby, it's wrong. I don't care what
you look like, if you're blue, green, yellow, orange, white,
orange or turquoise.

Speaker 1 (01:39:41):
If you do wrong, I'm gonna call balls and stripes.

Speaker 24 (01:39:45):
Wrong is wrong and macormelo and he did was point
blank wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
Yeah, and no doubt about that. Somebody died at a
track meet, and not because the hammer throw oh the
javelin flew off the handle, because somebody wasn't paying attention
and killed somebody, somebody made a conscious effort to kill
another human being. And I go back to the why

(01:40:14):
why was the first response grab a knife and try
to stab somebody? Why were you somewhere you shouldn't have been?
The whys are many, but the answers are few.

Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
Is it all these.

Speaker 24 (01:40:32):
Black social justice warriors online saying that we need to
hear the other side? Here is the primary fact that
we're dealing with. A young boy is dead over a
backpack because a kid.

Speaker 27 (01:40:43):
Who didn't know how to control himself. He is the
conditions around which he was raised, and that is a travesty.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
But that doesn't make him a victim, No, it doesn't.
And I go back to this over and over again
with the why you in somebody else's area that you
shouldn't have been? You've been warned and you stayed. Why
did you then pick a fight after they asked you
to leave on numerous occasions? And why was your first

(01:41:13):
response to stab somebody? Why? We know why it became
political because that's what happens. Now becomes entertainment. It sounds horrible,
but it's true. It becomes entertainment. But from a human side.

(01:41:38):
We talked last week a lot about adolescents that show
why is there a crisis of young men, not just
here but globally. There's a lot of questions about that.
And yes, father's being absent is a massive reason, probably
the biggest reason of all, but it's not the only reason.

(01:42:04):
And this was senseless. It was tragic. It shouldn't become
a racial situation, but you knew it was going to.
And even though the media doesn't really want to touch
on it a lot because it's not the narrative that

(01:42:25):
they want, they're being forced to because they have to.
And unfortunately, nobody's interested in the real thing that happened,
the truth. They're interested in the sensationalism around it, because eventually,
in the next couple of days, this will die down.

(01:42:47):
Then there'll be a case, and then somebody will remind
everybody of the case. When and if it gets to
the point where it actually goes to a trial, chances
are they'll hash out some sort of plea deal and
that'll be that. Because the entertainment value, the division value

(01:43:11):
from the media, it had worked its way through. They
got everything they could out of it, and now nothing
sad but true. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty

craziness going on, so we're gonna try to get ourselves
out there next couple days to see it. One thing
we did watch Jack and I was a little hockey
over the weekend, and the reason is simple. Move over

(01:46:48):
a great one. Now. If you go back a few years,
and we're talking more than a fewyears, almost twenty years ago,
the date October fifth, two thousand and five. The guy
that everybody was waiting to see in the the NHL
has arrived. A Russian nick name is Sasha alex Ovechkin
Alburn shaded there by Rick Nash Zubra Spians o'.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):

and eighty seventh game against the New York Islanders, talking
to one of his teammates as he gets set to
cross the threshold from one of the greatest to the greatest.

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
I got to come.

Speaker 11 (01:47:54):

Speaker 2 (01:47:56):
What he said there is, if you think you're going
to take a shot, why don't you, I'll pass it
over to you. But if you don't, you pass it
to me and I'll take a shot. That's exactly what happened.
