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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Are we headed to a constitutional crisis? Crisis grisius crisis.
I say that because yesterday Donald Trump does what Donald
Trump does, says some stuff gets people going ah, and
then the next thing, you know, people are going ah
and discussing it. And it all starts with the President

(00:34):
of Salvador. Presidente, who's in town for a visit. By
the way, did not bring mister Garcia back. We'll talk
about that in a second. But the questions about mister
Garcia's that you.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Said that if the Supreme Court said someone needed to
be returned, that you would abide by that.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
You said that on Air Force one just a few
days ago, and they said.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
That, why didn't you just say, isn't it oneiful that
we're keeping criminals out of our country?

Speaker 5 (01:02):
Why can't you just say that?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Why can't you just say that, isn't it wonderful we're
keeping criminals out of the Why? Why why you gotta
do that? Why why you gotta do stuff like this? Now?
Bookulele who uh Kelly, I call him. That's not his name.
His name is Boukelly. I like Buculele though sounds a
little bit more, you know, I don't know, Like, hey,
how you doing. Let's go Bookulele was asked about why

(01:28):
didn't you bring the guy, and it was just it's
everything you expected to be in the Oval office with
CNN and whatnot.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
How can I smuggle how can I return him to
Da Lata State. It's like, I smuggle him and to
the United States or what do we do? Of course
I'm not gonna do it. The question is preposterous. How
can I smuggle the terrorists to the United States. I
don't have the power to return him to the United States. Yeah,
but I'm not releasing I mean, we're not very fond
of re thising terrorists into our country. We just turned

(01:58):
the murder couple of the world to the Center's country
in the Western Hemisphere. And you want us to go
back and to the releasing criminals so we can go
back to being the murder capital of the world. And
that's not gonna rap.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Well, they'd love to have a criminal you know, reactually
do it.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
I mean, I mean, there's fain.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
They would love it.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
Sick.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
These are sick people.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
These are sick people. Sick people. Now this all stems
from the Garcia case. You're sent there and whether they
specifically said you had to bring him home or you
had to facilitate some sort of move. You know, that's

(02:40):
the debatable side of things when it comes to this.
But that wasn't all of the big talking. And we'll
get a little bit later into mister Garcia's case, because
I think it's warranted that we have this conversation. But
it was something else about deportations that Trump brought up, which,
by the way, I'm going to say right off the top,

(03:02):
it's absurd and ridiculous, and it is everything that Trump
does to troll How.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Many illegal criminals are you planning on exporting to El
Salvador and President of Kelly, how many are you willing
to take from the.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
US as many as possible. I'd like to go a
step further. I mean, I say I said it to Pam.
I don't know what the laws are. We always have
to obey the laws.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
But we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways,
that hit elderly ladies on the back of the head
with a baseball bat, that are absolute monsters. I'd like
to include them in the group of people to get
them out of the country, but you'll have to be
looking at the laws on that.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Steve, Okay, Steve, can you look at that? No you can't,
zero zilch, no chance. What the hell are you doing?
But you're trolling and everybody's talking about today, which of
course is a lot of what you like doing, which
is stirring up the front. If you will.

Speaker 8 (03:57):
He says he would like to have some of the
what he calls the home grown criminals people push people
into subways and bash people over the head. He'd like
to include them American citizens in the group of people
to be shipped to this prison in El Savre. He said, Ah,
but he'd have to obey the laws. His relationship with
obeying the laws is flexible, to say the least. It's

(04:20):
kind of like the thing he says about running for
a third term. Iy is just joking. He's just trying
to stir up the Libs until maybe he's not, until
maybe he's not.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Do I think he's running for a third term. I
do not. I've said this over and over again, and
I will say it over and over again. If he
decides to run for a third term, I will absolutely
everything I can to campaign against him, because that's not
what we do that's not who we are. The fact

(04:49):
that you want to even joke about that, well, you
know what, I'll give you that. The fact that you
have people out there pulling for it is the scary
part of it.

Speaker 9 (04:57):
Now.

Speaker 10 (04:57):
The President was musing about sending some of the most
horrible people in this country down to that mega prison.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
You know, people that.

Speaker 10 (05:05):
Push ladies into subways and hit old ladies with baseball
bats to the head.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Is that legal to do?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Is that something you're allowed to do?

Speaker 11 (05:14):
Well, Jesse, these are Americans, who he is saying, who
have committed the most heinous crimes in our country, and
crime is going to decrease dramatically because he has given
us a directive to make America safe again. These people
need to be locked up as long as they can,
as long as the law allows.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
We're not going to.

Speaker 11 (05:34):
Let them go anywhere. And if we have to build
more prisons in our country, we will do it.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Right, That's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's what I thought too. The answer to that is no,
you can't, and you know you can't, so stop with
the insanity. You just can't. Even if they're a naturalized citizen,
you can't if they're a dual citizen. You can't. Now
the question would become if you go and try to
do something like this, what would happen. I just don't

(06:04):
think we're ever going to get there. The question I
have is with the guy from Maryland. I know he
doesn't like to be called the father from Maryland and
this stuff. But this Garcia fellow who is in this
prison sekaw, which is brutal in El Salvador and people yesterday.

(06:24):
I put out a video last night. If you have
a chance to go check it out, YouTube like and subscribe,
and I threw it out on all the social media
and a lot of people are like, oh, he's a citizen.
He's not a citizen. He's not here legally. But there
was an order, first of all, an order of removal,
but also an order to not deport to El Salvador.

(06:45):
And what's going on is the Supreme Court was kind
of flimsy in the way that they handled this situation
here in the sense that they gave you've kind of
a vague. If you can try get him back, great,

(07:15):
If you can't try to facilitate that. A couple things
going on here. First, it's not our country, he's an
l Salvadorian citizen, and because he's an l Salvadorian citizen,
we don't have any jurisdiction there that's on them. Now.
There was an order to not to port there, but

(07:36):
the reality is he is there. So there's that, and
we don't have any sway if you will, in theory
over their laws. And of course we have were America.
We're friends with Bouquelee. We could if we need to,

(07:59):
but we're not going to. The second thing is if
he was to be brought back, he would start a
tsunami of how many people do we have to bring
back and go through the rigoroor again? And that would

(08:23):
open up a can of worms that the administration isn't
going to open, rightly or wrongly, depending on where you stand.
It ain't going to happen. So alas here we are.
The question I have is in the future, what happens

(08:47):
if there are orders and Trump decides to go Yeah. No,
And I'm talking about from Scotus in particular. We've seen
with the lower courts what he can do with Scotus
in particular. How does that play itself out? Because that

(09:07):
would in theory be a crisis, and you would have
to figure out does Congress have the balls at that
moment in time to go after the president through impeachment,
limiting his powers, et cetera. I don't think this Congress does.

(09:31):
It's going to be interesting to see the way that
plays itself out. Meanwhile, China, here's a few things that
China produces, just to give you a sense of how
much they produce of the goods that we use. In particular,
the electronics.

Speaker 12 (09:51):
Eighty percent of smartphones, sixty six percent of laptops, and
that is only the finished product. I'm not even talking
about the input products. Some sixty nine percent of lithium
ion batteries. You have three quarters of all children's toys,
you have fifty percent of headphones, You've got fifty six
percent of sports footwear, You've got fifty three percent of

(10:14):
rubber footwear.

Speaker 13 (10:16):
Ceramics, sinks.

Speaker 12 (10:18):
I mean, you know, you can go down the line
for video game consoles eighty six percent, electric fans eighty
eight percent, Christmas festivity goods eighty seven percent. I guess
we won't be saying Merry Christmas in December. Stainless China
war on Christmas eighty six percent.

Speaker 13 (10:36):
You know, plastic kitchen wear eighty percent.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's breaking points right there. Soccer and Ryan Grim and yeah,
they produce a lot. And the question is who's gonna
blink first. Yesterday China did something that is really I
think puts this tariff battle into perspective and I think

(11:01):
amps it up a bit. And it has to do
with rare earth exports, which are important. And so the
battle has begun and we're going to talk about that
in a little bit. How important this may be and
who has the upper hand?

Speaker 14 (11:21):
Is it g.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Is it the US short term? Long term? And are
we willing to go to the mat? A lot of
stuff to get to today. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Chad Benson Breaking News our affiliate KGTV breaking into programming.

Speaker 16 (13:05):
We are bringing you breaking news here at ten sixteen.
And you may have felt at a pretty strong earthquake.

Speaker 15 (13:11):
Home surveillance cameras catching the tremor. Reggie Novenario was thirty
five floors up.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Were you worried about your life?

Speaker 17 (13:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (13:19):
Yeah, as everybody was.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
The guy's on top.

Speaker 19 (13:21):
They're on the side of the building and they could
fall off.

Speaker 15 (13:24):
The five point two quakes epicenter near Julian, California, a
mountain town about sixty miles northeast of San Diego.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Now, I was on the air two hour difference between
my son who's in San Diego and myself. It's noon
time here ten there. He's in class. I text him
to feel the earthquake. Here is his words, crazy back

(13:55):
to you. Oh goodness me, they were shaken. You know what,
elephants show you the brilliance of our Pacadermy friends.

Speaker 15 (14:07):
At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park frightened elephants instinctively
forming what's known as an alert circle to protect the herd.
The quake sending boulders onto roads. Authorities still assessing damage tonight.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Assessing damage. It was a good shaker.

Speaker 15 (14:23):
People got an early warning. Scientists at Caltech say the
my Shake app alerted people this quake was coming just seconds.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Before it hit. What I know the my Shake app.
You know, I was talking to my buddy Ken, he's
my news guy when I do my local show, and
he's directed to the station that I work at locally
and he and I because he was a tornado chaser
for a while when he worked in Oklahoma. That was
like his part of his reporting gig was go out

(14:51):
and chase tornadoes. And he and I were chatting about it,
and he said, you know, He's like, look, here's the
thing about tornado tornadoes. You kind of get a sense
of the weather. Seeing the patterns and certain things. You
can kind of get a feel of there is something coming.

(15:13):
Be alert today. This is what it looks like. And
you know, you get a sense of that. Hurricanes obviously
days out you can see that. But the my shake
app really sounds like a weight loss thing. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show

(15:35):
is your ex and your Instagram on The Chad Benson Show. Now,
being in California, one of the things, even though I
haven't lived there for many years, is there's always this
bizarre kind of feeling when it's humid, unseasonable humidity for

(15:57):
the time of the year. One of the other things
for those of you listening around the country who do
not know and understand, is earthquakes sometimes can be precursors
too bigger earthquakes.

Speaker 20 (16:13):
There is about a five percent chance of a larger
earthquake occurring as a result of this event.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
So I was asking my family, who all are southern California, said,
what kind of earthquake was it? Man? Was it shallow?
Was it deep? Did it shake violently? Was it the
roly type?

Speaker 20 (16:32):
Because the earthquake was far underground, that means that the
waves had to travel quite a distance to get up
to the surface of the earth and to where people
will feel it.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Kind of a rollie type and again crazy three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is
your Insta your ex check out the YouTube, like and
subscribe there as well. So much stuff to get to
that is non earthquake related this hour, including was Alex

(17:05):
Jones right about the gay frogs quit to hear this story?
We got more on immigration, more on tariffs and havard
folks have it and the Trump administration. I'm out ready
to go toe to toe. We're gonna talk about that.
Reach out to us across all of our social media
and make sure you check out our YouTube. Every night
we go live right around seven o'clock Eastern time. This

(17:27):
is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 21 (17:28):
Show, then Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
The battle is on, the trade war is on. What happens.
It's very interesting. You got a TikTok and the algorithms
run a while. So obviously Chinese company, even though quote
unquote the American they're separated. It's the we know what
it is and a lot of stuff out there and

(18:18):
how great China is and not all of it's a
lie when it comes to they like our money, but
when it comes to our stuff allo from China.

Speaker 18 (18:27):
Let me show you the United States products in my home.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Do you have something from China in your home? Now?
Could I easily make an argument that, yeah, a lot
of what you have in your home we came up
with you guys stole it, but you are making it there.
And the battle is on and it's who blinks first.
So we could sit here and talk about, well, what

(18:52):
about this? What about that? You know?

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
I think they're gonna talk as tough as they possibly can,
as they should. It's their country. I expect Trump to
do the same thing. But one of the things that's
not being talked about that should be talked about is
rare earth minerals. One of the things China has done
over the last unteen years is make sure they produce

(19:20):
a ton of rare earth minerals, make sure they go
to places and ingratiate themselves to these people by building
them things Belton Road, things like that, so they can
get access to these minerals, so they can control all
of these things. And we learned nothing from the pandemic

(19:41):
about hey, maybe we should think about some of these
things about the rare earth.

Speaker 12 (19:48):
Arguably it's the Chinese tariffs do not matter as much
as where those targetive tariffs are. And so this was
the single biggest news to me, and let's put it
up there on the screen. And obviously we'd be covering
it from my this week, and we knew it was coming.
But China has now quote halted critical exports as a
trade war intensified. They have suspended exports of certain rare
earth minerals and magnets that are crucial for the world's car,

(20:11):
semiconductor and aerospace industries. Now, this is a very important
story because it really does reveal the entire game. Quote,
ninety percent of the six rare earth minerals which they
have now ordered export restrictions on are produced in China
and refined in China. The metals and the special magnets
made with them can now only be shipped out of
China with a special export license for which US companies

(20:33):
no longer qualify.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
No longer qualify, You don't qualify for those Sorry you
don't continue, sir quote.

Speaker 12 (20:44):
But China has barely started even setting up that system
for issuing those licenses, meaning that the concentration there is.

Speaker 13 (20:50):
A complete freeze.

Speaker 12 (20:52):
If factories in Detroit and elsewhere run out of these
rare earth magnets, that would prevent them from assembling cars
and products with electric motors that require them. Companies very
widely in their size of emergency stockpiles, so the timing
of production disruption is very hard to predict.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Meaning how much do we have? Not a lot? Have
we saved any? Do we have any? We built some
stuff up? Not quite sure? Can we get some from elsewhere?
The competition they're producing ninety percent of it, refining ninety
percent of it. That means the rest of the globe
that is not in a battle with China in some
way shape performed China is going to be going after

(21:28):
some of these things and where do we stand.

Speaker 12 (21:31):
But the main flag was actually a quote that was
buried deep within which just shows either rot at the
center of the US economy.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Quote.

Speaker 12 (21:39):
Many American companies keep little or no inventory because they
do not want to tie up cash and stockpiles of
costing materials. One of the metals, for example, subject to
the new controls, dysprosium oxide trades for two hundred and
four dollars per kilogram in Shanghai, but much much more
than that outside of China, meaning that you, first of all,
you would be competing for almost percent of whatever of

(22:01):
the minerals or the refined minerals and magnets and other
inputs that you need for your car. But second that
you are in a situation where when you create, you
know and produce over ninety percent of something and you
yourself have nothing on the balance sheet. Again, we are
looking at just a freeze of economic activity.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
A frieze of it. Well, I thought, that's the exact
opposite of what we wanted. It is. Now I'm going
to do something here that many people probably at this
point go, ah, all the more reason we have to
go to the mat. I've been saying, if we're going
to do this because we look at China as absolutely
our opponents, our enemy, for a lack of a better term.

(22:41):
Then we've got to go to the mat. We didn't
think this thing through. We didn't strategically set ourselves up
in such a way as to make sure that we
have enough of the things that we need at this
moment in time. We maybe jump the go on a
little spread out too much, took on too many fronts.

(23:05):
But this right here shows you, especially after COVID and
the you know, uh, you know, all of the stuff
when it came to the medical and the pharmaceutical and
the and all of that stuff, we need to do
this and we've got to figure out a way to
uncouple completely if we really believe, as I do, that

(23:25):
this is who she is now, another leader, maybe something else,
but at this moment in time, with g much different
story with.

Speaker 12 (23:33):
These rare earth minerals, there has been no plan from
the government around a stockpile. It's not like we can
look to the you know, EPA or some other agency,
you know, the Energy Department and have confidence and they're like,
we have gone to Australia and we've ensured that us
companies will have preferential export agreements here with our allies. No, instead,
we're actually hitting Australia with ten percent tariff at the

(23:55):
same time.

Speaker 13 (23:55):
But why would they give you anything? They don't want
to give us anything truth.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
So we'll see again, we don't know where all of
this ends up. But when they do something like this
based on the situation that we find ourselves in is
we're not talking about toys or electronics or some of
that stuff. When they do something like this, it shows
you that this is what we need to do. We

(24:20):
need to uncouple. We need to and it's not about
even onshoreing, because let's be real, we're not gonna onshore
the way that a lot of people out there are
being told that this is gonna happen. But we need
to make sure that we work with people that are
allies who have the betterment of not only America but
the free world in their mind. And we need to

(24:42):
figure this out sooner rather than later. If that is
what we believe, Like I said, it could change, something
could happen to Gee Whitty the pooh gun. But until then,
if we're gonna do this, then let's do this or
what are we doing. I don't want trade wars. I
like free trade. We're a consumption based nation that's not
going to change at all. Even if we brought all

(25:03):
our manufacturing home. At some point in time, everybody's going
to figure out a way to make it cheaper and
faster here in the United States. It may be made
in the US, but it's made by a robot. But
if we're not going to do it, then stop blowing smoke.
Either go hard or go home, if that makes sense.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson's show, is your Twitter tweet at

(25:25):
US text the program. I love hearing from all of you, Yes,
even you Tally. No more kissing China's ass. I'm never
working for a company that's regulated by a communist government. Okay, okay.
No more selling to the Chinese.

Speaker 22 (25:39):
And say it, say the Chinese government, Chinese government.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
I didn't hear you. The Chinese government there makes me
laugh just a little bit. We need a little bit
of that every once in a while. You know what's
funny is I posted something the other day. Pretty soon
we're going to see fla acts of China on you know,
people's Twitter and blue Sky and Facebook and Instagram like

(26:08):
they do with Ukraine, says I stand with China because
of the disdain for Donald Trump. If you think I'm lying,
you're fooling yourself. That's how much disdain is out there
for Donald Trump. There is that much hate for the
Donald that people would like to see China win this

(26:32):
just so they could say good because I can't stand
Donald Trump, which is absurd, which is insane, But I
absolutely believe it wholeheartedly. Absolutely believe there are people out
there that want China to win so they could go good, good,

(26:57):
I'm glad they won, which is just nuts. That's where
we are in the world of politics. You know, last
night I was I did my video and if you
have a chance to check out every night we go live,
usually four or five nights a week, but we go
live right around seven or eight Eastern. I'm trying to

(27:18):
get it to ride around seven eastern, although eight seems
to work pretty damn good too. But one of the
things that I find interesting is when we talk about Trump,
for instance, or anything that we talk about, is I
always try to get people look at the bigger picture,
and even with on both sides of the aisle. With
the immigration conversation that we're having right now of shipping

(27:41):
people off to El Salvador, it's not about the guy.
Look at the bigger picture. It's about two process. It's
about our constitution. It's about the legislative branch, the executive branch,
the judicial branch. Three co equals. Are they going to
co equal or is one going to try to usurp

(28:03):
the other one? Trying to figure out what is their
lane when it comes to certain things like international affairs
that they don't want to potentially overstep. There's all kinds
of things that go into it. There's a bigger picture.
We're just focused on this and you got to look
at the bigger picture, which most people they don't. I

(28:25):
understand that we like it easy in this country. That's
why I always said the Russia Russia Russia thing was
never going to happen, even if and it was bs
it was true, because it was too damn confusing. The
phone call was a Linsky easy for people to understand.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three.
At Chad Benson's show, is your Twitter, tweet and text

(28:47):
Birch Gold, We're just talking about rare earth minerals. Why gold,
because it's been around forever. It is a great way
to hedge what's going on in the world geopolitically, financially,

(29:50):
What Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 23 (29:59):
Welcome to No not the country, the institution the chat
Vans and show.

Speaker 24 (30:06):
Pfiser was hoping to bring the first weight loss pill
to the market as weight loss injections have skyrocketed in popularity.
The company's once daily golp one pill is now officially scrapped,
but Pfizer is not out of the race just yet,
saying that while disappointed, we remain committed to evaluating and
advancing promising programs in an effort to bring innovative new

(30:29):
medicines to patients.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Oh so, no, the reason apparently they scrapped it is
there was an issue with somebody's liver, and so they said, no,
we can't do this. But if you have those pills
and you're on the test trial, do not flush them.
Do not flush them. Was Alex Jones, Right, listen to this.

Speaker 25 (30:53):
Spring is a time of migration, birds, beast and fish
setting off for their seasonal homes. Well, now there's a
question of whether some of those long haulers might be
on drugs. Last week, a study came out in the
journal Science claiming that Atlantic salmon had been witnessed in
rivers acting. Strangely, these happened to be the same rivers
where scientists had introduced pharmaceuticals as an experiment. See, we

(31:16):
know that drugs are making their ways into waterways. It's
been documented for years. It's why authorities beg you not
to flutch unused pills down the toilet, because while sewage
plants can treat human waste, they're not able to screen
out the compounds from your prescriptions even after they passed
through you.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, what do you mean? Alice Jones was right, you
remember this.

Speaker 9 (31:43):
I don't like them putting chemicals in the water. They
turn the friggin frog gay.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
What say that again, sir.

Speaker 9 (31:51):
I don't like them putting chemicals in the water. They
turn the friggin frog gay.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
None of us like that. But are they doing something
to these salmon?

Speaker 25 (32:01):
Maybe they found elevated levels of these substances downstream from
wastewater plants. They've also seen similar phenomena in rivers near
pharmaceutical factories. And think about all the drugs we might
take in a day, from aspirin to coding to psychmids
to birth control. These are all chemicals that have been
measured in waterways, at least in trace amounts. Well in

(32:23):
this river in Sweden, salmon were exposed to klabazan, which
is used to treat epilepsy and anxiety, and tramadol of
pain medication.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Wait a minute, you guys, you know epileptic fish? No,
not not anymore tramadol. What think Wait till they introduce
them to fentanyl? That the whole things are going to
go sideways.

Speaker 25 (32:44):
Scientists noticed that suddenly these fish were not clumping up
in groups or shoals as often. They seemed a little
bit more individualistic, even stand off fish. And when they
got to these big damn turbines, they were startlingly quick
to take risks. They'd shoot right through without giving it
a second thought, which might make sense. I definitely feel
like I've witnessed people on drugs saying, hey, I got

(33:05):
a great idea. No man, no more talking, Let's just
go for it, you know, no more questions, just live
our lives.

Speaker 18 (33:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Well, they've also done some other stuff like, hey, you
know what you got five bucks? Let me tell you
what I'll do for you. Settle down. These fish are weird,
they're propositioning me, and no they don't have any televisions
for sale.

Speaker 25 (33:24):
Well, interestingly, you could argue these drugs actually had a
positive effect more salmon were able to quickly make their
way to their ocean destinations. But scientists say, don't get
it twisted. Any behavioral effects from man made drugs flooding
the water will have negative impacts on the food chain
more broadly. And that's the thing. We're not just talking
about fish. These chemical compounds don't go away when they

(33:46):
pass through us. They also don't die out with the fish.
They can get ingested by birds, they can be sucked
up into plant roots, and in the most ironic twist
of all, for all we talk about wanting seafood free
from chemicals and hormones, that seafood might be increasingly laced
with small traces of the drugs that we've already flushed.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Oh no, how is your seafood. Jim's got a cocaine problem. Now, ah,
he got the grouper, He got the grouper. Oh geez,
is't that crazy though? I mean, it's gotta go somewhere,
So we could study it for years, or we could

(34:25):
figure out how to filter it out and what that
would cost. Instead, we're like, no, let's see what happens.
Let's see what happens when we introduce heroin to Bluegill.
I don't know if that sounds good. I guess Alex

(34:46):
was right.

Speaker 9 (34:46):
I don't like them putting chemicals in the water because
they turn the friggin frogs day.

Speaker 2 (34:51):

have time to get deeper into. So check that out
really helps us out right here on the Chat Benson Show.

(35:32):
Jumping up our number two of the program, immigration, are
we headed to a constitutional crisis? Plus if you go
to space? Are you really an astronaut? If you don't
go all the way to space, you don't fly the ship.
We're gonna debate that kid's an idiot. We know that,

(35:52):
but this kid did something stupid and for that he
will be serving eight months in prison. We'll talk about that.
Plus the latest on two college kids who got into
a tussle apparently with an uber driver in Denmark, and
these American kids now are in jail. We shall discuss that,
among other things. It's the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Will he be coming back? I'm gonna go with no.
Of course. This is the immigration debate that's going on.
Are we headed towards a constitutional crisis? No, but it's
always fun to speculate. Now we're talking about the Maryland
man who apparently doesn't like to be called the Maryland
father man, mister Garcia, and the Supreme Court handed down

(37:09):
a ruling you have to and this is the big
debate yesterday, the nuance of the conversation, you have to
facilitate his return to the United States. What exactly does
that mean? Is it actually you must bring him home

(37:30):
or you must make an effort? Not quite sure because
you start talking about, well, it's stuff that maybe the
Supreme Court really can't get into because this is more
of a foreign affairs issue as opposed to our constitution. Yeah,

(37:56):
I see, I see. It's interesting. Right. They did really
lay everything out I think the way they should have
when it came to this case.

Speaker 14 (38:05):
Well, first of all, the court did not do a
particularly good job. The Supreme Court in order to get
to be nine to nothing, they had to compromise all
over the place. So they said, basically, look, the authority
lies with the foreign policy of the United States.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Court shouldn't interfere with that.

Speaker 14 (38:23):
If he's going to come back, you should facilitate it.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
But we're not going to have any deadlines.

Speaker 14 (38:29):
So the Trump administration, stretching the opinion in its favor, says, well,
they didn't give us a deadline, and they didn't order
him to be brought back. They said facilitated. He shouldn't
be brought back. He should be given a hearing quickly
on the issue of whether he has a legitimate claim

(38:50):
of sanctuary, and then he should be sent back because
he's not a US citizen. Once you're not a US
citizen and you're here illegally, your rights are very, very constraints.
This is not like the Khalide case where he's a
green cart. It's not even a student visa. He may
have a visa, but the question is if he came
legally in the beginning, he has no right to stay
here accept subject to the humanitarian claim that if he

(39:13):
sent back, the gangs are gonna kill him. That's his claim.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Well, I think he claims politics if I'm correct. Again,
there's so many of these cases, and you never know
what they argue in court. A lot of the times
isn't actually what they come out and tell you. And
that gets very frustrating because in front of the cameras
like he's this, he's that. Then they go to court
and they're like, hey, we don't really have any evidence
that these either of those things. But he does the

(39:41):
due process. And this is what I keep saying, look
at a bigger picture. It's not about this guy in particular. Now,
if you're part of his family's friends, whatever, Yes, it's
about him obviously, duh. But this situation, there is a
bigger picture here. And that's why I continue to say,

(40:05):
you measure twice, sometimes three times, you cut once, and
all too often, as we saw in the first Trump administration,
he'll make things harder on himself than he needs to.
More from Desuitz, it's a very simple case.

Speaker 14 (40:23):
If not to the fact that a judge had stayed
his deportation on the ground that he had pending a
claim of asylum a claim of asylum.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Very simple.

Speaker 14 (40:34):
You can deport without any further due process anybody who's
in the country illegally. This guy is in the country illegally,
and if he didn't have a court order that said,
wait a minute, you're here illegally, but you've made an
application to stay here even though you're here illegally, in
order to avoid being sent back to Al Salvador because
you think he'll be killed in Al Salvador. It's only

(40:56):
that court order technically, which is the mistake. And it
is a mistake because they did violate a court order.
But once he's given his asylum claim, and if that's
then he can easily be deported because he's an illegal alien.
It doesn't matter with he's committed crimes or anything else.
You have no right to say in the country if
you came into the country illegally.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
And there is the thing we've talked about. He had
an order, and that order at this moment in time,
was not to be deported to l Salvador. They did.
They went over that and said, nah, we're just going
to deport him all together. That's the issue that I
have for this, that's the due process. He was deserved

(41:41):
anybody else, you know. And again the green cards, the
student v says those are going to be adjudicated in
many different ways over the coming days, weeks, and months.
But when it comes to this, this was about the
due process side of stuff. That's the issue I had,
and we should all want due process measure twice cut once.

(42:04):
Give them nothing to bitch about, they'll bitch, but it
becomes less of a loud, crazy, frenzied noise and more
of a were you saying something? If you know what
I mean speaking of that, Trump did give them something
to talk about.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
How many illegal criminals are you planning on exporting to
El Salvador? And President of Kelly, how many are you
willing to take from.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
The US as many as possible? I'd like to go
a step further. I mean, I say I said it
to Pam. I don't know what the laws are. We
always have to obey the laws.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
But we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways,
that hit elderly ladies on the back of the head
with a baseball bat, that are absolute monsters.

Speaker 6 (42:51):
I'd like to.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
Include them in the group of people to get them
out of the country.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
But You'll have to be looking at the laws on
that statement.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Okay, that's not happening. That is not happening. That isn't
going to happen. Stop it. You're not. First of all,
you can't deport US citizens to other countries because they're
US citizens, even if they're naturalized US citizens or dual citizens.

(43:21):
You can't this insanity of oh yeah, well get rid
of them. What jeffery. We did hear the president on
that hot mic saying that he wants to send US
citizens to l Salvador, urging the President to build a
bunch of extra prisons there. Remotely constitutional, not.

Speaker 26 (43:36):
Not as far as I'm aware. You know, there are
laws about how we punish people in this in this country.
You know, Title eighteen of the United States Code defines
criminal laws in this country, defines the kinds of punishment,
and it is there is not included in Title eighteen
send someone out of the country, much less to a
hellhole prison in another country. It just doesn't exist that

(43:59):
loyal that that authority.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
But it's got people talking, and they enjoy the fact
that they can argue and talk and gives them something
to yell about with Trump, and he probably sits back
there and goes, they're talking about it. Anything I say
they're going to do. Even Pam Bondy was kind of
pressed last night by you know, Jesse Waters, and he's like, yeah, okay.

Speaker 10 (44:22):
Now, the President was musing about sending some of the
most horrible people in this country down to that mega prison.
You know, people that push ladies into subways and hit
old ladies with baseball bats to the head. Is that
legal to do? Is that something you're allowed to do?

Speaker 11 (44:38):
Well, Jesse, these are Americans who he is saying, who
have committed the most heinous crimes in our country, and
crime is going to decrease dramatically because he has given
us a directive to make America safe again. These people
need to be locked up as long as they can,
as long as the law allows.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
We're not going to.

Speaker 11 (44:59):
Let him go anywhere. And we have to build more
prisons in our country.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
We will do it, right, That's what I thought. That's
what I thought. You have no plans for that, but
everybody's going to talk about and that's really what you
guys were looking to do, because you can't do that.
It's it's ridiculous to think that anybody even trying to
figure out a way to justify that as a real

(45:28):
comment and take it seriously. You are You're a whack
of do. It's just it's not happening. It's great for commentary, right,
it's great for the for the fun of a conversation
to have that debate, but it ain't happening. Something that

(45:49):
is happening is the case in Texas. Carmelo Anthony stabbed
Austin Metcalf almost two weeks ago, killed him. Both high
school students track meet And the question now is they
reduced his bond yesterday to two hundred and fifty thousand.

(46:10):
He's out on house arrests, and now the battle in
the public has begun. Whether people like it or not,
It's become an issue of race and bias, right versus left,
black versus white. This is the modern world we live in,

(46:31):
driven by algorithms, likes, clicks, shares, things of that nature.
Mark O'Meara, who is a defense attorney. Well, no, it's
definitely a consideration.

Speaker 27 (46:42):
It always is, whether it's sort of obvious to what
we're doing or the implicit one, because we all carry
these implicit biases with us that perceive or impact how
we perceive an event. Now what's really it's going to
come down to it. And I disagree with the guy
who said this is not a self defense case. Yesterday
he said it, This is definitely a self defense case,
because it always is one until you look at the

(47:02):
facts of the case and compare the two. You have
to compare who was the initial aggressor. Was it an
aggressive actor him to go up and say get away
from the tent? Did he do more than that? My
understanding it was maybe he touched him and put hands
on him. Granted, that makes the decenion in this case
maybe the initial aggressor, but you really still didn't have
to look at whether or not Carmello Anthony responded with

(47:25):
appropriate force, he used a deadly weapon, and whether or
not he was in imminent fear of great body injury.
That's the standard in Texas, in most every state, to
determine whether or not his actions the way he perceived
the way Carmello Anthony perceived him when he took out
that knife and stabbed him.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
One of the other things that he talks about that
may work against him, we'll get into this maybe a
little bit later, is the fact that he said if
you touch me, you're going to get it, which he
points out is a threat back to and in some

(48:04):
ways will potentially derail his case of essentially self defense
standing your ground. But the court of public opinion that's
going to have it say first before a court ever
gets the case. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

Speaker 28 (49:43):
Katie Perry has safely returned to Earth. The pop star
made a quick trip to space on a Blue Origin
rocket alongside Gail King and Lauren Sanchez. This lift off
marks the first all female space flight since nineteen sixty three,
according to the company. Perry said she brought a daisy
with her in in honor of her four year old daughter, Daisy.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Oh that's nice. Uh are they astronauts. It's funny because
I saw a couple of port Chester like their astronauts.
I'm like, no, no, they didn't control anything. They got
shot straight up in the air and then they came
back down. It was really cool, Okay, but they weren't
flying anything. It wasn't pilot, not none of them were pilots,
and you know it's a neat story, but are the astronauts.

(50:27):
That's like saying if I went on one of those
like you know, trips with a jet fight fighter pilot
and I was in the back, you know where they
make you pass out because they do all the g's
and that, all of a sudden, I'm now a jet
fighter pilot. That's that's that's not that's not it. Gail,

(50:50):
you did it.

Speaker 29 (50:51):
I never in a gazillion years thought I could do this.
I was so afraid. I just wanted to get into
my seat because I just wanted to let the training
kick in. I just wanted to get inside the capsule
and sit down.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Kind of training did you go through years of rigorous training,
running hours on and putting yourself through things. What kind
of William Shatner went up there? Shatner, I don't know
how much training he did.

Speaker 29 (51:21):
I might even now get my ears pierced. I've never
gotten my ears, But I feel I walked out of
there thinking, gosh, I can do anything.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Yes, yes, you can you can do anything.

Speaker 9 (51:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
I mean you can't play center for like the Lakers
or something. It's probably it's probably not gonna happen, Katie,
you enjoyed yourself.

Speaker 30 (51:40):
I brought a daisy because I have so much love
for my daughter Daisy, and I have so much love
for mother Earth, and I believe you can see the
beauty in the mother Earth in a single resilient daisy.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
I like that. You're an astronaut Daisy's.

Speaker 30 (52:00):
Sometimes people consider Daisy's weeds because they grow everywhere and
through everything, and they show up in so many different places.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, your Instagram,
all the other things right here in the Chad Benson Show.
I don't know. I don't think they're astronauts, but you
know what cool that you did it. And let's be
real to have a little nerve going up there, like
so the guy from Amazon's gonna shoot me in the space. Interesting.

(52:33):
Speaking of travel, don't do this if you don't get
a travel because you know jail upset he.

Speaker 31 (52:40):
Had to watch pets while his girlfriend's family went on
a cruise. A Michigan man was sentenced to eight months
in prison for making a fake bomb threat. Prosecutors say
nineteen year old Joshua Lowe sent an email that forced
Carnival to check more than a thousand rooms. After the
ship departed in Miami. In January twenty twenty four, FBI
agents trace the email addressed too low who was living
with his girlfriend's family. Low apologized in a separate letter

(53:03):
to the judge, saying it was all his fault and
he took full responsibility.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Can you sentence somebody to stupid? So you used your
own email address? So he was super pissed because his
girlfriend's family and everybody went on a cruise without and
so once they got outs in the water, so they
were going from Miami to Jamaica, he emails and says,

(53:29):
hey probably said that to you, Hey, I think someone
might have a bomb on your Sunrise cruise ship. Batt'll
show him and lo and behold they caught him. What
an idiot? What an absolute idiot?

Speaker 5 (53:45):

A swing, Wiley, how are things up there at the
Corona Rooftop?

Speaker 18 (54:41):
Thanks are pretty great, Brandon. We're having a lot of
fun up here off the Corona rooftop. Who do we
got here? What's your name?

Speaker 1 (54:46):
My name is Lauren Laurence all right, and I'm Kayla Kayla.

Speaker 18 (54:50):
And you guys hang out the rooftop lounge often once
a year I come out to visit. Okay, we timed
it pretty well.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
All right?

Speaker 5 (54:57):
Good.

Speaker 18 (54:57):
How are you guys feeling my roof for the Braves today?

Speaker 22 (55:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 30 (55:01):
I'm hoping for the best.

Speaker 18 (55:03):
What about you?

Speaker 19 (55:04):
Are you?

Speaker 18 (55:04):
Braves fan? Now?

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Not quiet?

Speaker 18 (55:06):
Not quiet? All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go to
work up here, guys. Good luck the rest of the way.

Speaker 19 (55:10):
Okay, Wiley. We got five innings, four innings to get
the numbers.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
That right. There's a live Braves game, as you can tell.
So they got this young guy up there, good looking guy,
two fairly attractive young ladies, and he's up in the like, hey,
it's the fun box, right, the Corona, super duper fun thing,
and and and he's having a chat. They're like hey,
you should get the numbers. Let's see how he did.

Speaker 18 (55:37):
Come on it.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Get us some more braves fans.

Speaker 32 (55:42):
All right, so they want me to get your number,
they want you to get I'm dead serious, they're saying
to my right now. Shouldn't believe me because she thinks
you guys are are not making this up. Even if
you guys weren't to, I might use that in the future.
That's a actually pretty good move. This is unbelievable.

Speaker 28 (55:59):
So the best part of this right now is that
Wiley could totally be faking it.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
This might be the new move.

Speaker 28 (56:03):
Just walk around with a fan dueled microphone and an
earpiece in and convinced fans that they're actually on TV.

Speaker 19 (56:08):
I should have thought of this years ago. I am speechless.
I got the number. We're good.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
I like that. Good for you, Wiley, Good for you.
If we don't laugh, we'll cry, ladies and gentlemen, and
we don't want to do that. I find this interesting
because I like interesting stuff. An effort to get him
on the show. He is a human biologist, researcher, biohacker,
and he specializes in anti aging, longevity and the thing

(56:39):
that I find interesting about this and he was on
with Joe Rogan talking about like obviously anti aging, what
you can do, what you shouldn't eat, what you know
should eat, things of that nature, you know, the blue zones,
all those kind of things. But they got into longevity,
and it's so simple in so many ways. Yes, the

(57:00):
you consume, how you live your life, all those things
are very much play into your longevity. But one of
the other things that he brings up, and maybe the
most important few things that he brings up, is something
that I don't think many people really understand, especially in
today's world.

Speaker 33 (57:17):
Two things that were non interchangeable were sense of purpose
in community and activity into later in life. So you
didn't have any of the blue zones where people didn't
feel a sense of purpose in community in life. In fact,
there were no such things as cystic care living facilities,
you know, the assistic care in those countries, as mom
and dad moved back in with kids until the day
that day till the day that they die. And there's

(57:39):
a lot to be said for that, because maybe grandma's
only purpose is to go out and get vegetables for
dinner that night, but she has a purpose and she's
a part of the community, and she's also poked up
in a home with a bunch of people don't really
care about her.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Which is so true. And sometimes we do that here
in the way in particular, really us, we tend to
offload that responsibility that for a vast majority of the
rest of the globe, it is just part of life.

(58:17):
Now there comes a point when maybe you can't. You've
got to, for lack of a manager, farm out certain
responsibilities because you're not capable of handling that situation, especially
if it becomes a certain medical thing. But we tend
to just kind of get rid of the elderly. You know,

(58:41):
it's like Logan's Run, but in a sadder way. If
you don't know what Logan's Run is, it was a movie.
I think you got to thirty and then they put
you on a run and they would eliminate you. So
a little bit different. We're older talking about here, but
I get that man and seeing people, you know, like
you know, we're joking about Trump and his weight and stuff.

(59:02):
We have for the last couple days. We'd talk about
it here in a little bit. But the he's seventy eight,
somebody who's elderly got a purpose. I don't think it's
Trump as elderly. It's isn't it weird? Like you don't
well know he's the leader.

Speaker 18 (59:15):
Of the free world.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Don't think of it as elderly. That's kind of an
interesting thing. But there's a purpose being part of a community,
being part of a family, feeling like you are contributing
and still part of something rather than a drag.

Speaker 33 (59:31):
You know, we knew something in the mortality space because
I used to study mortality and mortality research, and we
knew that if you wanted to cut somebody's life expectancy
in half at any age, and I mean at any age,
you put them in isolation. So as soon as you
create isolation, you dramatically reduce, if not half, the life expectancy.

(59:54):
Now later in life, we would call this broken heart
syndrome caregiver syndrome, and these were actually very valid syndrome.
So if we actually were doing the life expectancy on
an elderly spouse who was still applying for insurance, or
we were looking at what's called a second to die
claim on life insurance policy and one spouse had passed away,
we would dramatically reduce the life expectancy of the second

(01:00:17):
spouse fascinating.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
So much of it is mental as it is physical.

Speaker 33 (01:00:23):
And the reason why that's important is I think that
people don't realize that we are actually being isolated in
plain sight, right. I mean, we are trying to create
connection through our phones or cry and create core connection
through social media, and these are not human connections in fact.
You know, if you look at the rates and depression, suicide, suicidal, ideation, obesity,

(01:00:43):
you know, chronic mental illness, and I think we actually
have a chronic lack of mental fitness, not necessarily a
mental illness crisis in this country. And if you look
at the skyrocketing rates of these conditions and how they
are creeping into younger and younger and younger generations. You
got nine year olds being treated for depression.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Now, that israzy, That is so crazy. Sense of community
we don't have that anymore. You know, we don't have
the neighborhood cookouts the way in many places we used to.
We don't have that sense of community. It's not just
about politics, it's about life. You know, everybody's working, everybody's
got a different time line that they're on. Right, kids,

(01:01:20):
everything's planned out for the kids. I was talking about
this the other day. When I was a kid growing up,
as much as I love soccer, I didn't get into
club soccer until I was older because we really didn't
have it the way we did. There was a season
even then, there was a season for it, right, so
you played baseball, and then maybe you played basketball or football,
and then you maybe had the summer to go fround,

(01:01:41):
but you played a little whatever it was, but there
were seasons. We don't have those kind of things anymore.
Where there's that community of everything now is completely planned out.
Everything is scheduled out. Kid's got to be here, he's
got practice here, he's got private training here, she's got this.
It's go, go go. And as we're go go going,

(01:02:03):
and we're pulled in many different directions, we're getting lonelier
because we're not spending time together. We're not saying, hey,
this weekend, we are having a big, giant, huge pancake
breakfast slash, you know, Fourth of July, fun thing here
in the street. That's what I love about my mom's
house out in Cyprus, which Orange County, California. They shut

(01:02:27):
down the little Culta saxis in and they have a fun,
almost old style nineteen fifties kind of you know, good
time neighborhood cookout, which is shocking in today's world.

Speaker 33 (01:02:43):
What's happening is isolation and plain sight. You know, we
don't problem solve anymore. We don't have communities with our
friends anymore. We actually don't build social connections.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
No, no, we don't, not like we used to. And
all of those things add up to longevity, a happier,
better life, and we don't do those things anymore. Damn it.
We need to get back to that stuff. Three two, three, five,

The results are in for President Trump's annual physical exam,
and guess what.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
He's in excellent health. Of course he is. He eats right,
he avoids.

Speaker 35 (01:05:18):
Unhealthy foods, diet soda, He manages stress, he doesn't hang
on to anger, He gets a good night sleepy, limits
his time on social media. He spends lots of time
with loved ones, and gets plenty of exercise getting in.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
And out of that golf cart.

Speaker 35 (01:05:30):
And he's got a body like Brad Pitt to show it.
He stays fit thanks to frequent victories in golf event.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Which reminds me.

Speaker 35 (01:05:40):
Congratulations to President Trump on winning the Masters this week.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
At look at that's kind of funny, Not really, although
I will say I cops on the six foot three,
two hundred and twenty pounds. Not buying that, although one
thing you can say, look, he's what seventy eight lived
past his sell by date and he's still going strong.
So all things considered, most people go, yeah, I'd sign

(01:06:09):
up for that. And still going and still going, and
still going in the most stressful job on the planet.
Think about that, still going strong in the most stressful
job on the planet. At seventy eight. There's still hope
for all of us kids. What's going on in Denmark

(01:06:31):
with Uber and a couple Americans.

Speaker 36 (01:06:34):
Sarah Buchan Ray was preparing to pick up her son
Owen in Chicago from his return from Denmark when she.

Speaker 13 (01:06:40):
Learned, Mom, I'm in prison in Copenhagen.

Speaker 36 (01:06:42):
She says, Owen and his friend were taking an Uber
back to their hotel on March thirty first, when they
realized they'd entered the wrong address and canceled the ride.
According to the family's attorney, the Uber driver came.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Back around, got out of his car, and then proceeded
to kick Owen in the groin.

Speaker 36 (01:06:59):
Uber telling ABC News, the driver reported to Uber that
he was assaulted by two writers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
By the way, you're not getting five stars for me
if you kick me in the grundle, you are not,
I repeat, you were not getting five stars from me.
Here's the thing about this. Denmark does it different when

(01:07:25):
it comes to how long they can hold someone because
it is a lot longer than we have here in
this country. So if you're arrested in this country, there's
a you know, you've got x amount of time to
hold somebody. Now, under state and federal there are two
different links for being held. Forty eight to seventy two

(01:07:51):
hours is typical. Under federal rules, person arrested must be
brought before a judge without unnecessary delay, usually within forty
eight hours hours, and it's about seventy two hours at
the most. At the state level if it's immigration excluding holidays,
about forty eight hours, so like a weekend you can

(01:08:11):
hold them. That doesn't really count as the way they
look at it. And then there is the odd situation
where national security enemy combatants can be held at times indefinitely.
As we all know, governments will try that. I don't
think the uber guy is that how long can they

(01:08:33):
be held without being charged?

Speaker 22 (01:08:37):
So Mills is actually right, So in Denmark it's about
four weeks. That's pretty typical. I worked extensively actually with
the Danes during my time at the CIA, and yes,
their legal system is incredibly different than ours.

Speaker 13 (01:08:50):
My guess is the.

Speaker 22 (01:08:51):
Reasoning that they are being held for as long as
they are is because of the flight risk issue. It's
not to say they would leave the country that. I
don't know. That is something that the us SEE is
going to have to work out whether or not they
take their passports. That may be something that they can
work out. Let them free on essentially a parole, but
they can really hold them for up to four weeks
without any charges.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Now, Sarah Waldner there, she's a former CIA analyst. Now
she points out, look, well, obviously get kicked in the grundle.
There's probably gonna be a throwdown because there is more
to the story then meets the eye and or the ear.

Speaker 22 (01:09:27):
There's a bit more to this story, in my opinion,
other than just not settling affair. The cab driver did
go to the hospital for various wounds that he sustained,
and now he is alleging a pretty severe assault that
the boys inflicted on him. Now I don't know, obviously
if that's true, and I do not know what precipitated
all of it. But my guess is that's why they
are being held for as long as they are.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Because he got kicked in the grundle. Maybe, I mean,
that's you kick somebody in the balls the grundle. Let's
be honest, there's probably gonna after I get off the ground,
when I'm rubbled or front, there's probably going to be
some words. That's That's what I'm saying there now, this
is he said, he said, kind of scenario. But it's

(01:10:11):
interesting what she said here. And you've got to know
the rules in other people's countries. Okay, know the laws
in other people's countries. Now, I think anywhere around the globe,
the the uber etiquette is the uber drivers shouldn't allegedly
kicking the balls. I don't think that's a that's a

(01:10:32):
thing that they've got going on. I don't know different
rules different you know, for different countries, but knowing the
laws is very important, and she points something out here,
especially if there's a dispute.

Speaker 22 (01:10:45):
I don't want to ever tell anyone to not travel
right as a result of this, because I don't think
that that's effective in any way, shape or form. But
I do think not engaging with anyone, I understand. I
don't know who started obviously the fight in regards to this,
but not going forward with that assault probably would have
been the best place to start. Obviously. Also, always have

(01:11:06):
your cell phone recording. Start the record button on your
cell phone, so they're not just relying on the cab
driver's version of events. So if you see yourself in
a difficult situation, that would be my first piece of advice.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
We shall see what happens in the Danish uber case
and with us fighting with Denmark potentially going to war
over Greenland. Who knows what will take place. Will they
be used as some sort of hostage negotiation tools held
up in front of the world as evil Americans? We

(01:11:43):
do not know. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

Coming up our number three of the program. A lot
of stuff to get to touch, a little bit on
Tariff's obviously the deportation battle that is going on right now.
What will happen, what won't happen? We do not know,

(01:12:28):
a bunch of other good stuff to get to as well,
including my son's report, yesterday from the massive earthquake that
struck San Diego. Very very fourteen year old boy report.
Let's just put it that way. If you miss any
of the program, grab the podcast. We appreciate you to

aforementioned Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
It's tariff time in Texas.

Speaker 17 (01:13:30):
In Katie, Texas outside Houston. Nick Walk is co owner
of Good Times Running Company, where much of the apparel
comes from overseas. He says he's prepared as he can be.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
My stock room is about as full as they can get.

Speaker 18 (01:13:43):
To kind of help with that preparation.

Speaker 17 (01:13:45):
He and other local businesses are teaming up finding whatever
solutions they can.

Speaker 18 (01:13:50):
It's one of those kind of.

Speaker 31 (01:13:51):
Give and takes that if they have a product that
they need and can't source and I have it, I
mail it to.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Which is great that you're pulling together. You're out thinking
our government before and now we're going to talk about
that a second. But if you're curious as to what
China makes and the amount of market share that they
have in certain things. Now they may have American names

(01:14:22):
on it, but for all intents and purposes, somewhat built there,
fully built there. You get where I'm going with this.
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 12 (01:14:31):
Eighty percent of smartphones, sixty six percent of laptops, and
that is only the finished product. I'm not even talking
about the input products. Some sixty nine percent of lithium
ion batteries. You have three quarters of all children's toys,
you have fifty percent of headphones, You've got what fifty
six percent of sports footwear, You've got fifty three percent

(01:14:54):
of rubber footwear, ceramics, sinks. I mean you know, you
can go down the line for game consoles eighty six percent,
electric fans eighty eight percent, Christmas festivity goods eighty seven percent.
I guess we won't be saying Merry Christmas in December.
Stainless China want the war on Christmas eighty six percent.

Speaker 13 (01:15:15):
You know, plastic kitchen wear eighty percent.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
That's a lot of stuff. They're winning. No, no they're not.
But this is why I'm gonna say, if we're gonna
do it, because as I see it, right, and that
we learn through what took place during COVID. They're not

(01:15:42):
our friends, they're not our pals. And it is of
the utmost importance that we start to do things, not
always from here. I'm not saying you have to, oh,
we gotta, we gotta on shore everything, No, because that's
just not gonna happen. But working with people countries that
share our interest and our interest of freedom, you know,

(01:16:11):
the West belief of all the stuff that we enjoy,
that right there is of utmost importance. If we're serious,
let's do it, because if not, then I don't want
to hear about well they want to come to the table. No,
if you think that they're all of the things, and
I do believe that China is all of the things,

(01:16:32):
and I'm talking about the Communist Party, but there's quite
a lot of people over there who are nationalistic and
who want their country to succeed and believe that their
way is the best way. So you know, this is
always we're going to prove this is not about the people.
Now some of the people. Now, all of this could change.

(01:16:53):
Should something happen to ge maybe he steps down, who
knows what happens, they get angry with him. Whatever. I'm
not wishing death upon him because he's a mowist, though
I mean he's cut, he's cut from the moulcloth, he's
not cut from Hey, you know what, we need to
be more open and need to give us people some

(01:17:13):
free He's not. It's not his jam, it's not his gig.
But if we're serious about this, they're not our pals.
They're our adversary. I won't say they're our enemy. I
think I said it earlier. Maybe that wasn't the best phrase.
They're an adversary at this point in time. Giving them

(01:17:36):
anything more I think is foolish and ridiculous. And they're
playing hardball. We need to as well. And they ain't
screwing around, by the way. They're not. They're trying to
lure our people in with all kinds of stuff, using
the social media stuff, the tiktoks and whatnot, to give

(01:17:59):
you deals right how to do a workaround so that
way you won't have to pay any of these ridiculous tariffs.
As they see it.

Speaker 7 (01:18:08):
China said them tear they are offering thirteen percent cash
back on any purchases from American citizens, and not only that,
they are gonna give you two hundred and eighty hours
of visa free injury into China to go shopping, no paperwork,
nothing to do, no visa needed. You can just go

(01:18:32):
to China and buy whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
It is you want.

Speaker 13 (01:18:35):
They said.

Speaker 7 (01:18:35):
If America wants to try to keep American citizens from
buying foreign goods, good luck.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
They're not messing around, and we need to make our decision.
If we're gonna go, let's do it, let's go hard.
If we're not and we're gonna tiptoe around and we're
gonna play well, maybe this or maybe that, or we're
gonna play this. You know what. No, if we we
really believe that they are the great dragon that wants

(01:19:05):
to swallow the world, which I believe that's what they're about,
then we need to start getting serious about it.

Speaker 37 (01:19:13):
China literally said they don't give off. We don't care.
During an interview with Victor gal who is a lawyer
and businessman but also the vice president of the Center
for China and Globalization, reporter told him, if you lose
the United States, you will lose fifteen percent of your business.

Speaker 9 (01:19:29):
We don't care.

Speaker 16 (01:19:30):
China has been here for five thousand years, most of.

Speaker 21 (01:19:34):
The time there was no United States, and we.

Speaker 27 (01:19:36):
Survive China is fully prepared to fight to the very
end because the world is big enough that the United
States is not the totality of a market in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
And that's the way they're looking at us. We don't
need you. We've done enough, We've stolen enough of your ips,
we have done all the things we need to do.
We understand exactly what we need to do. We'll take
eighty five percent of the rest of the globe over you, guys.
Hence the reason the bat is going on between us
at times. And I do believe some of these tariffs
on other countries are to say, are you with us
or you against us? This is not something I want.

(01:20:12):
I'm a free trade guy, but I also understand if
we're going to make a decision and we're gonna do it,
then let's go whole hog or shut up about it.
If we're gonna do that, whole hog or shut up,
don't tiptoe, don't play panteastic games, do it or be
done with it. So many of you know the great
phrase fish or cut bait. Now I say that because

(01:20:37):
China did something that is emblematic of this entire situation,
but also of how we have not prepared knowing potentially
may be going into this, but not really because I
think quite frankly, the Trump administration. This sounded great, and
I understand the battle that he wants to get into,

(01:20:59):
but the reality of not preparing for what potentially is
coming because there's just uncertainty all the time. It is
an issue, and I'm talking about rare earth minerals. Considering
all of the things we use, electronics and whatnot, rare
earth minerals are involved. Who do you think corners and

(01:21:22):
owns that market.

Speaker 12 (01:21:23):
Arguably it's the Chinese tariffs do not matter as much
as where those targetive tariffs are. And so this was
the single biggest news to me. Let's put it up
there on the screen. And obviously we've been covering it
from last week and we knew it was coming.

Speaker 13 (01:21:36):
But China has now.

Speaker 12 (01:21:37):
Quote halted critical exports as a trade war intensified. They
have suspended exports of certain rare earth minerals and magnets
that are crucial for the world's car, semiconductor and aerospace industries. Now,
this is a very important story because it really does
reveal the entire game. Quote, ninety percent of the six
rare earth minerals which they have now ordered export restrictions on,

(01:22:00):
are produced in China and refined in China. The metals
and the special magnets made with them can now only
be shipped out of China with a special export license,
for which US companies no longer qualify.

Speaker 22 (01:22:11):
What.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Yeah, that's not a win. That is not a win
at all. So they're going to clamp down on the
rare earth. Hence the reason over the last umpteen years
they have spread their wings in many places through the
Belton Road initiative, but also going into poor African nations,

(01:22:33):
handing them gobs of cash, building hospitals and infrastructure, saying, look,
how wonderful we are. Look at the Americans over there.
They want to play this game where you got to
be nice to each other. We don't give a rats
ask what you guys do to each other. We want
to show you how nice we are. And oh, by
the way, at some point in time, we want all
that crap underground quote.

Speaker 12 (01:22:56):
But China has barely started even setting up that system
for shooting those licenses, meaning that the concentration there is
a complete freeze. If factories in Detroit and elsewhere run
out of these rare earth magnets that would prevent them
from assembling cars and products with electric motors that require them.
Companies very widely in their size of emergency stockpiles, so
the timing of production disruption is very hard to predict.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
So what does that mean. You maybe have a couple months,
a couple weeks. We don't know, Like everything else could
last a month a week. This could be something new.
We didn't plan for this. We didn't get out in
front of this. We weren't forward thinking like we are
with strategically when we have all of our oil reserves

(01:23:42):
and whatnot. We have failed this portion of the program,
and we better figure out what we're going to do.
But we better figure this out in a way where
we decide sooner rather than later. Either we're gonna do it,

(01:24:07):
or we're gonna stop pretending that we are in getting
back to letting us consume. This is the perfect example
of them saying to the world, look what we can do.
They did this to Japan as well when they got
into a trade war with them. They will hold this

(01:24:28):
over our head as any nation would, but we better
figure out what our response is going to be if
we're going to have one or if this is gonna
be a situation where we tiptoe around, Oh what about
going to some of our allies like Australia. Oh yeah,
they're thrilled with us right now. What you put a
ten percent tariff on them? Yeah, they'll be sure to

(01:24:50):
put us at the front of the line. Fish or

Speaker 15 (01:29:30):
Our affiliate KGTV breaking into programming.

Speaker 16 (01:29:33):
We are bringing you breaking news here at ten sixteen.
And you may have felt it a pretty strong earthquake.

Speaker 15 (01:29:39):
Home surveillance cameras catching the tremor. Reggie Novenario was thirty
five floors up.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
Were you worried about your life?

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:29:47):
Yeah, as everybody was.

Speaker 19 (01:29:48):
The guys on top, they're on the side of the

The five point two quakes epicenter near Julian, California, a
mountain town about sixty miles northeast of San Diego.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Julian, by the way, spectacular for those of you not
keeping score. So I was on the air and it's
two hour difference between where I am and where my
son is. It's in San Diego. And I text him
and I said, feel the earthquake? How was it? You

(01:30:21):
guys ready for this? Crazy? Thanks back to you dad.
Oh my lord, He said that was a first earthquake.
Though I talked him last night that he's like that,
I can remember where I felt it felt it because
a lot of times there's an earthquake three point four
the smaller ones that you is that a truck? Not
quite sure, but his crack reporting solid right there. If

(01:30:46):
you're missing the Joe, shame on you grabbed the podcast.

Speaker 39 (01:30:49):
It is the Chad Benson Show, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
Havard. You might loast some money, Harvard, and you're fine
with that. The battle of Havard and the Trump administration
has begun.

Speaker 31 (01:31:27):
Can I first just get your response to the administration
saying tonight that it's going to have this two point
two billion dollar freeze.

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
What kind of impact does that have?

Speaker 40 (01:31:36):
This cut is obviously deeply disappointing and a real blow
not just to Harvard but to higher education across the
United States. The impacts of those cuts will be severe,
not just to cutting edge research cures for cancer, cures
for diseases, all of the work that happens at these
universities with respects to how we study our history, the
things that are essential to our democracy. There's a lot

(01:31:58):
that happens at these universities that are to having a
free democracy.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Except for the part we have freedom of thought. You're
not a big fan of that. Now I'm gonna throw
something at you that maybe you didn't know. Not a
fan of the way that a lot of people have
handled the anti semitism on campus, the way that the

(01:32:27):
Trump administration has come at some of these colleges by
allowing a group outside to influence in ways that I
don't think people really understand a group called Batar if
you don't know who they are. They are a group that,

(01:32:47):
let's just say, very Zionist, very much a group that
is Is that a point where the eighty it's like, yeah,
now we're gonna move away from you, like that's you're
doing something there when the ADL is going maybe maybe

(01:33:13):
maybe maybe no, maybe no. Do you want first of all,
I I understand putting money into things inside of colleges.

Speaker 17 (01:33:24):
I e.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
We're gonna help you guys with this research because we're
gonna benefit the school's gonna bet everybody's gonna benefit fantastic
some of the money and the stuff that's thrown at
the schools. I do question why the schools are getting
so much. It's not all just for research. On cancer, right,

(01:33:49):
it's just for kids and cancer and stuff. It's they
make it seem like that's all it is, and that's
that's not true. And the colleges, you guys have made
your bed over decades by being so left leaning, getting
to the point where you became insufferable and wouldn't even
allow a differing point of view on campus without throwing

(01:34:12):
a hissy fit. So you've got to expect some reaction now. Obviously,
after October seventh, that reaction changed because it went from
you know, talking about you know there's a conservative Ben
Shapiro's on the campus, Oh my gosh, I gotta go
find a safe space to something far more sinister and
evil in the battle. That was not just some students

(01:34:34):
and outside agitators, but there's just a lot that went on.
So Harvard said, no, we're not going to give in.
I mean, now they have a fifty four billion dollar endowment.
You're doing okay, right? I sup was James Madison yesterday
said all right, we'll follow your rules de I rules
Trump because we only have one hundred and fifty five million,

(01:34:57):
we don't have billions, so we're going to have to
play your game. I don't want outside agitators on either
side playing too much in the world of politics inside
of our college campuses any more than they already freaking do.
And by the way, this group betsar they are hardcore.

(01:35:23):
They not only report to and they're wide open with
These are the people that we're investigating. We want you
to go after them. Trump, get their visas, revoke them,
kicking them out of here. But they're also reporting back
to Israel saying, hey, here's a whole bunch of people
who should never allow into Israel. I'm a big supporter

(01:35:44):
of Israel behind them. That being said, not a fan
of this continue.

Speaker 40 (01:35:55):
Trump Administration's decision to cut two point two billion dollars
from Harvard tonight makes clear just how essential this lawsuit
is and how critical this fight is, and why it's
so important for Harvard and really every university in the
country to take a stand at this critical moment, because
this is a clear, unquestionable violation of First Amendment rights.

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
We're going to find out what the courts say about
First Amendment rights. DEI all the stuff that is that
the Trump administration is demanding of higher education, and now
I will and I've said this from the beginning, you
remove the Jews, And I said, the Jews' biggest sin

(01:36:36):
in this situation is the fact that they're not people
of color. It's a race, but on the outside you
look white. So that's your biggest sin right there when
it comes to this stuff. The other side of it
is you remove the Jews from this right, so we

(01:36:56):
the Jews. Israeli students supports you. You remove them, and
you put anybody else in this situation, gay, trans, black woman, Latino, whatever.
The colleges would have none of it. So they've made
more than a bit of their bed in this situation.

Speaker 40 (01:37:19):
You mentioned some of the demands that the administration has
made of Harvard. It includes things like trying to appoint
a federally named oversight official to do an audit of
every course, every department at Harvard to see if we
have ideological balance to meet the Trump administration's test for
what we teach and what we say at these universities.
It's a transparent effort to change what is taught, what

(01:37:43):
we say in our classrooms, what we teach our students,
to make sure that the only things that are actually
said on university campuses are things that the Trump administration
wants to hear well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
You said balanced. I mean, I think it would be
fair that you at least give two sides to the story.
And if another person says, you know what, I think
that side of the story is something I find to be,
you know, a better side based on the data and
the facts that you don't say, well, we're going to
you know, freak out and this person's hurt my feelings
and everybody's going to cry again. You made your own

(01:38:12):
bed in a lot of this. What do we talk
about a lot on this? When you live in the
world of extremes, both the left and the right, what
eventually happens You ever go to a fair and you
ride like the you know, the pirate ship or whatever,
and he goes way up to one side, You're like,
oh my god, we might flip over, and then all
of a sudden, the bucking ride comes all the way

(01:38:33):
back over here. That's what happens when you live in
the world of extremes. So I don't think people, now
the Trump administration is a different thing, But I think
for the most part, people aren't looking for fifty to
fifty although that'd be nice, but that's not the world
we live in. A little balance would be okay, Like
ninety ten would be like, oh my god, are you

(01:38:55):
guys going conservative? You can't even get that on college camps.
So we're going to find out what takes place in
the coming weeks and months. And this is going to
be interesting. Again. Harvard's got fifty four billion in the
piggy bank. Not every college has that, and I think

(01:39:17):
Harvard looks like we'll take them on head on. And
just to give you a breakdown money wise, I wanted
to make sure I've double check late eighteen gazillion times.
So last year Harvard got almost seven hundred million total
when it came from the federal government. It's about sixty
eight percent of Harvard's total sponsored research. Only about thirty

(01:39:42):
three million dollars went to the overall financial side of
the college, ie student aid, things of that nature. So
a vast majority of the money is research grant oriented,

(01:40:04):
not even classroom oriented, which is important. And this is
what the Trump administration is going to do. And like
I said, I've got you live in the world of extremes.
You got to expect at some point in time the
extreme is going to come back, and that goes for
the right as well. I would rather get off the
world of extremes. We're going to find out what the

(01:40:28):
courts say, what's going to happen. I'm going to give
you a snapshot of what I think is going to happen.
Trump and them will go and fight this out in
a court, of which will be filed by the College
at a court that they think will get a favorable
verdict for them, of which will be appealed eventually get

(01:40:48):
to the Supreme Court, and from there, who knows what.
Speaking of courts, the battle for the Maryland person who
doesn't want to be called a father, it's really bizarre
that the things that he is apparently requested by his families,
like that he doesn't want to be known as a father, this, that,
and the other. But the guy that was deported to

(01:41:09):
El Salvador, he still there, not coming back. Jeffrey Tobin
said that I don't expect him to come back. The
question about what happens from here when it comes to
is there any recourse for the courts is interesting.

Speaker 8 (01:41:32):
She can hold the individual lawyers from the Department of
Justice in contempt of court.

Speaker 2 (01:41:37):
Courts do have contempt powers. She could find them day
by day. She could put them in jail.

Speaker 8 (01:41:42):
If they continue not to obey the order as she
sees it, that would appeal and get to the Supreme
Court again.

Speaker 2 (01:41:48):
Now here's the issue that I have with this entire situation.
The Supreme Court itself wasn't very I think it's the
best way to say this. They didn't give the kind

(01:42:09):
of directions that you would say were absolute. And part
of that is because they don't want to feel like
they're overstepping a case here in America that is now
that person, while his case may still be here, he
is no longer here. He's an El Salvador, and El

(01:42:30):
Salvador says we're not giving back because he's our citizen.
So it's a weird situation where they kind of gave
vague instructions if that makes sense, like you have to
make an effort to do all that you can, but

(01:42:51):
there wasn't any real because what can they do? What
can they do?

Speaker 37 (01:42:55):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
Could Trump, in theory, absolutely get him back, Yes, don't
doubt that for an instance he could, But he's not
going to because the fear of you know, if I
bring him back, then all of a sudden, these there's
already gonna be there's already a flood of lawsuits, but
that'll expand exponentially, So that's just not gonna happen. But

(01:43:17):
we can pretend that we're making an effort. And we
just heard from Buquela yesterday. I said, no, we're not
giving him back. And so that's where the Supreme Court goes,
all right, Well, I'm there's not a lot we can
do from here. We don't want to overstep because those
are a that's a foreign affair, if you will, And
that's one of the purviews that the President himself in
those dealings. That's that's his lane. Gonna be interesting going forward,

(01:43:43):
And that's why I keep saying the bigger picture isn't
so much about this guy as a person or whatever.
The particulars are so lost in the conspiracy and wackadness.
At this point in time, I'm not even thinking about that,
but I am thinking about the next situation that presents

(01:44:06):
itself and how Scotus deals with that and the administration
deals with that. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your

Speaker 23 (01:45:20):
Show, serving up talk radio, medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:45:34):
It's Chad Beenson.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
College sports has gotten wacky, to say the least. The
money these guys and gals are making is incredible, and
they are a big deal on campus, and they're a
big deal in a lot of other plays, especially social
media things like that, and so for a companies, they're
willing to spend money. But that's not really like the
NIL It's the most important person now on any college

(01:46:02):
program staff probably isn't the coach anymore or even the recruiter.
It's a general manager, a person who can work the
name and likeness the NIL deals that matter most. And
there is a big controversy going on because pops for
a lot of these kids now dads, and yes even
some moms realize what their kids are worth and sometimes

(01:46:25):
think their kids are worth a lot more. Case in
point this is you.

Speaker 5 (01:46:28):
Well.

Speaker 41 (01:46:28):
Quarterback Nico im Aliava came to Tennessee one of the
first big winners of the NIL era. His deal was
believed to be worth over eight million dollars over four years,
but now he is leaving Tennessee in search of even
more money. The Spring Transfer portal opens Wednesday, and im
Aliava has told Tennessee coaches he is entering it. On
three dot Com reported Thursday Tennessee and Emaliava were in

(01:46:52):
fact negotiating a new nil deal to pay him more money.
But Friday he didn't show up for team meetings or practice,
and that reportedly became the point when Tennessee decided it
was moving on and im Aliava could seek his financial
fortunes elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:47:08):
And that's what he's going to do. The problem is
you don't have Tennessee there to now free agent it
up against So Pops pushed his son. His son didn't
show up at camp. They said, we're done. We wish
you all the best.

Speaker 42 (01:47:24):
I want to thank him for everything that he's done
since he's gotten here. You know, that's as a recruit
to who he was as a player and how he
competed inside of the building, and so a great appreciation
for that side of it. Obviously, we're moving forward as
a program without him. You know, I said it to

(01:47:44):
the guys today, there's no one that's that's bigger than
the power team, and that includes me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
That's the coach Josh Hipelbert talking about it. It is insane.
Ohio State last year spent forty two million dollars on
its football program, which is and I'm just talking about
the team, right, that's insane the amount of money. So
this guy has talked himself out of stuff because his hope,
I think, was to have leverage. And one of the

(01:48:12):
big colleges out there that was looking at him potentially
who had reached out to him or he reached out
to them, it was Oregon.

Speaker 41 (01:48:20):
Ill Oregon coach Dan Lanning reportedly told Tennessee they were
they received in an inquiry about a deal for iam Aliava,
but said they were not interested. Now, wherever he winds up,
don't expect it to be at an SEC school conference.
Rules would ban him from playing this season.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
You talk to yourself out of some not a good move.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
