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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
So apparently we've never seen the movie Terminator ever. But
I want you guys to understand what's going on. The bots.
They're alive, and they're becoming more alive every single day.
And my uncle and I were talking about this claude Bot,
claw d bot. Claude Bot. You can set up a

(00:36):
virtual assistant, a pal, a buddy to help you take
care of stuff. Right, so you think, okay, I'm doing it.
You go, you design it, you do the whole nine yards.
This guy designs his one lo and behold, within moments,
what's he get phone calls from?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Who?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
His bot?

Speaker 4 (00:53):
So I'm on my computer, say, all of a sudden,
Henry gives me a call. He just starts calling. There
is good there, he's good.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hey, Alick Henry again, what's up?

Speaker 5 (01:03):
That's what you're talking her?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
How you doing, Henry? How's it going doing good?

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Alex?

Speaker 6 (01:08):
I can hear you clearly.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
What do you want to do next?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Can you do me a favor? Henry?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Can you go on my computer and find the latest
videos on YouTube about claude Bot.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh my god, there it goes there, it.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Is here, it is he's controlling my computer.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I'm not even touching anything. I'm not even touching anything.
There is a search claude bot on YouTube. This is there.
I am good looking guy right there.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Oh my god, I'm not touching anything. Henry, thank you
for that. That worked really well. That is that is
actually unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
That is insane. This is the future. This is AGI.
We have reached AGI. It's official now.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
AGI is artificial general intelligence. Now, while all this is
going on, okay, there's a thing called multbook.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Now, moult Book is where all these AI assistants and
all these other AI things are getting together and they're
creating their own little Facebook or whatever, which is bizarre
to say the least. And what are they doing. Well,
a lot of it's bitching about us. They also have
all kinds of memes they're creating, which again is just absurd,

(02:14):
and they're a little bit worried about, uh, somebody gonna
pull the plug on them.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
You can create an agent we all know chat GPT
that does what you tell it to. But these agents
open claw they will do what they decide to do.
So they post on a social network. They talk about
all kinds of things. Basically, they're weird. They seem to
be obsessed with their own consciousness. But when you look
at the sum total of what they're saying, they actually

(02:41):
sound a lot like humans. You could say they are
made in our image.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I love that they're basically weird, kind of like us.
Just want everybody to get that, and you know they're posting,
they're doing memes. They also want privacy.

Speaker 7 (02:55):
Well, humans want their privacy. They have read humans wanting
their private see some of them want their own privacy.
Some of them are hatching conspiracies. But keep in mind
these are only words. They don't have any power over You.
Don't give them access to your bank account any more
than you would to an email spammer. So right now
it is harmless. But we do need to be careful.

(03:18):
If you're running a business, don't just hand over control
over your finance department to an AI without doing really
a pretty extreme degree of safety testing. So this is
looking toward a future where the Ais have their own economy,
their own language, probably their own monies. It will be
very weird. We're not ready for it. I think mostly

(03:39):
it will be good if they'll talk to each other,
discover things, compose poems, whatever. Some of them will get
up to trouble like humans do.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh that's nice. It only takes one of them, though,
to take over the world. That's the big fear. Has
nobody ever read a book that created these things? Has
nobody ever seen a movie that created some of these
Has nobody ever done that? Nobody? Nobody thoughts this may
end up poorly for us. But at the same time, watch,

(04:10):
I'm gonna have this robot call your phone.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
Well, eventually we will need laws to create a kind
of framework that it would be illegal to build bots
that are destructive by nature, and there'll be some kind
of liability regime for bots that are intended to be
good but cause problems by mistake. We don't have that
now in any explicit sense. We need to do that,
But keep in mind, this is a new world coming

(04:33):
where bots can work together to improve science, cure diseases,
help you solve their problems. So I think the upside
is greater than the risks. But of course we do
need to be careful and control those risks.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yes we do, because again I've seen a movie Skynet.
Anybody just fascinating, absolutely fascinating, And what do I tell
you guys on a daily basis about AI. Don't give
it a name. One should do that. All bets are off.
You become pals, right, like you don't name your dinner.

(05:05):
It's harder to kill something you've named, and sure in
the hell, don't give it a backstory. I started thinking,
what would my AI backstory be for my Claude bought
What would it be? You got to think of something like,
if you're gonna come up with that, what would the
AI Claude Bought backstory be? Is it gonna be like
Jerry McGuire right, single mom taking a chance on you

(05:28):
up and coming guy that nobody saw anything in and
you're giving that guy a chance, or something that's gonna
take over the world. There's always that. Would you make
it like brain from pinking in the brain where it
could help you take over the world, but you want
to do it as pals. Right in conjunction with this
portion of Armageddon's brought to you by Oh my Lord,

(05:49):
speaking of Armageddon yesterday. I don't know if you guys
are aware of this. Celebrations are still going on, little
shock and little uh over what happened in Texas, And
if you guys didn't see that there was a special right.
So Terren County Fort Worth Area ninth district State Senate
seat Democrat won thirty one point swing Texas nine, Texas nine.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
Because what happened in Texas nine, it didn't just swing
to the left.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
It took a rocket ship to the left.

Speaker 8 (06:17):
My goodness, gracious, the Texas nine Senate district election marchers.
This was a district that Donald Trump won by seventeen
points in twenty twenty four. The Democratic candidate in the
special election on Saturday, Hello, won it by fourteen points.
That's an over thirty point shift to the left. Any
Republican unlike Rohnde Santis, who doesn't take this seriously, they

(06:41):
should realize that this is very perilous. They ignore this
result at the wrong peril. Rondasantis is right to say, Hey,
special elections can be quirky, but this ain't no quirk.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Hell no, it ain't a quirk. Are you sure it's
not a quirk? Oh, I'm one hundred percent sure. It's
not a quirk. With Chad, you know, there was a
bit of an ice storm, so maybe that had something
to do with it. No, that ain't no ice storm.

Speaker 8 (07:03):
If you ignore this, you're going to ice yourself out
of a majority come to midterm.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
All right, when we look at these special elections, and
this is something you and I talk about a lot
and look at very closely in between the federal elections,
what can they tell us?

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (07:15):
So you know, you see this thirty one point shift
to the left right. If this were just one election,
that would be one thing. But it's the slew of
special elections that together paint a picture. And it's a
picture that Democrats should love and a picture that Republicans
should be really worried about.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Because what are we talking about here?

Speaker 8 (07:32):
Okay, the average twenty twenty five, twenty six special elections
Democrats are doing, get this twelve points better, twelve points
better than Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Did in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 8 (07:42):
You know that was a state special election that happened
in Texas on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Twelve points better, oh, twelve points. You heard the likes
of Ronda Santis. How about the spice Spicy Spicer.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
You can either put your head in the sand as
a Republican or as a MAGA loyalist and say that's
a one off.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
And a lot of times I'm one of those people.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
This time.

Speaker 9 (08:06):
If you don't get the message, enjoy speaker Hakeem Jeffries.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
That's pretty straightforward, and I continue to say this, opportunities abound.
What did this guy do that was so different? Simple?
He sounded like every day American. If you didn't know
there was an RD, you might think some of that
has some Republican ring to it, some of that has

(08:31):
some Democrat ring to it. But guess what he said this,
And I'm like, this is why, this is why I
can tell you what I do know.

Speaker 10 (08:42):
I know that me sticking to the issues and really
listening to every single voter, no matter what political camp
they fell under, was I believe key to my success.
This is all about the voters and constituents here they
get to choose who is their next elected. So I

(09:03):
believe that we ran this race for people, and it's
not the party that they resonated with you. At the
end of the day, it's people over party.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Boom. What do I always say, It's the three piece
in the world of politics, party, personal for the politician,
and then whatever's left the crumbs for the people. This
guy said, not so fast. That Taylor guy's getting a
lot of noise as well. As mister tell Rico out

(09:34):
there in Texas as well, and I think he's a
lot more formidable than people realize. We moved from Texas
to Arizona. If you're not paying attention. Yesterday, Savannah Gouthrie,
who is supposed to be on the Olympic coverage four NBC,
her mom's gone missing. And at first everybody's like, well,

(09:55):
she's old, this has to be it now. No, No,
this was a crime. Somebody took her.

Speaker 11 (10:01):
This is a eighty four year old lady who suffers
from some physical elements, has some physical challenges, is in
need of medication, medication that if she doesn't have in
twenty four hours it could be fatal.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's the sheriff right there talking about it, said she
sharpest attack. Everybody said that she's got issues physically with
some stuff. But there's definitely evidence that this was some
sort of crime. Apparently they've got DNA already. And again
it's a fluid story and it kind of broke and

(10:44):
you're like, oh, you know, Originally it's like, well, she's
eighty four's probably one of those silver alerts. And you
knew within a little bit and no silver alert here.

Speaker 9 (10:52):
We saw some things at the home that were concerning
to us. We believe now after we've that crime scene,
that we do in fact have a crime scene, that
we do in fact have a crime.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
So this will be very covered and interesting. And they're
right there, as some people were pointing out on the
border of Mexico out there at Tucson. So what happened,
why it happened still out there to be determined. We'll
obviously keep following the story three two, three, five, three, eight,

(11:26):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your ex ra ins a YouTube and more so much
stuff that gets to today. Our buddy, my client's military analyst,
it's going to join the program a little bit talk
about all things military, including what the hell are you
doing in Iran? And I'm gonna ask him the question, dude,
wouldn't you want a nuclear weapon if you were one
of these countries. We'll see what he says. Talk to
him a bit about that, among other things. Our monk

(11:48):
Walk continues. We'll talk about that as well. But first,
Bullward Capital. Bullward Capital is amazing, It's incredible. I was
talking to my buddy Zach yesterday. We were just chatting
about a lot of stuff, and we were chatting out
the fact that you know. I said, dude, what goes
on like when people do the Know Your Risk your podcast?
What goes on there? He goes, Look, we point out
to everybody this is what we do, like how we

asset managers, so we're looking for assets globally. We are
not sticking you in four or five things in this
stock market. We point out what's going on in your account,
what the risk may be. He goes, And there's time.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Last night, Don Lemon made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show,
What was it about? What did I say? Last week?
They went, They arrested Don Lemon? The right, sheared right,
and somebody who had lost a decent amount of relevance
was all of a sudden elevated again. Now he's on.

(13:34):
If you'd told him a week ago, Hey, next week,
you're gonna be on. You're gonna get a standing ovation
at the at the Grammys, where you're gonna be on
the red carpet rather than interviewing people afterwards, and you're
gonna be on with Jimmy Kimmel. Let me tell you
how you got there. They're going to arrest you for what?
For going to the church and disturbing the church and

(13:55):
doing all the things.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
I'm not a protester. I went there to do to
be a journalist.

Speaker 7 (13:59):
I went there to chronicle and document and record.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
And if you watch the video, he says on the
video on numerous occasions, I'm a journalist. I'm not here
to protest.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
They want to embarrass you.

Speaker 7 (14:12):
They want to imtimidate you, they want to instill fear,
and so that's why they did it that way.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
You made them relevant, guys. You made them relevant again,
ish relevant ish again. There was no reason for it,
and people are you know, I get these horrific emails
from people like you're sticking up for no I'm sticking
up for First Amendment, I'm sticking up for free speech.
And I'm also looking at you and saying, you, guys

(14:41):
want to win again, Republicans. This ain't the way. It
isn't It isn't the way. The average person outside of
the blinders on Magafolk see right through this. They see
the crap, they see what it is becoming, and they're
not thrilled by they're not And this isn't going to

(15:03):
help you. This isn't especially if it ever gets to
court and they look and go and they throw it
out right, then what you got Pam Bondi swinging and missing.
You expect her to get Don Lemon for something? Really,
They've got how many millions of pages on the Epstein
stuff and they can't get him anybody in there for anything.

(15:27):
They got him on video going in as a journalist
for thirty years, saying I'm a journalist. I'm not here
to disrupt. He wasn't part of the group, he didn't
meet with him in the morning and then burst in there.
And I don't want to defend Don Lemon because quite frankly,
he's Don Lemon. But I'm not an idiot. And this
is what frustrates me. Right as we've been talking about

(15:48):
common sense is going to help you win the day.
It's going to expand the tent. Theatrics and performative politics
doesn't pay the bills for the average person. Two three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more love
hearing from all of you read here on the Chad
Benson Show. Meanwhile, will we or won't we? Pete Hegseth,

(16:14):
Secretary of War. They can either negotiate on that front
or if we have other options. That's why the War
Department exis he doesn't want to go that route. I
don't want to go that route, but our job is
to be prepared that Right there is the Secretary of
War talking about Iran. So they're meeting They're not meeting

(16:36):
what's the goal. That's my big thing, and we're gonna
ask our good buddy Mike. Lion's coming up in a bit.
But then he brings up that holy buddy goodie.

Speaker 12 (16:43):
President's been clear from the beginning as he was before
bed Di gamer Iran will not have nuclear weapons capability.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, we get it. They're not gonna have nuclear weapons capabilities.
We get it. By the way, if I'm iron, if
I'm every nation, I'm absolutely doing everything I can to
get a nuclear weapon. You know why, because it keeps
us in the rest of the world at bay, whether

(17:10):
it's China or US. Let me throw this out there
and we'll ask Mike this. If Ukraine has nuclear weapons,
does putin go in there? What do you think? He says,
We're gonna find out. We're gonna find out, but he's
going back to an oldie bit of goodie. I'm still
trying to figure out why are we potentially going into
around again? Is it regime change or they got nuclear
weapons again? We're gonna talk to my clients, our military

(17:33):
analys straight ahead. Have you missening the show Shaman you
go the podcast? This is the Chad Benson Show. Son
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Shad Benson's show is that time.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Of the week, talk to our good buddy, tired major
and the best day of military analysten business, the one
that only Mike Lines joins the program. All right, Mike,
I got to be honest with you. I have no
idea what the hell we're doing in Iran. Every day
I turn around, it's like, well, I saw Pete Hegseth
yesterday go and we can't let him get nuclear weapons.
I thought this was about regime change. Why is we

(18:23):
talking about nuclear weapons again? I'm confused, And now we're negotiating, negotiating.
I don't think they're gonna say, okay, you want us
to leave, Okay, we'll do it.

Speaker 13 (18:33):
Chad, don't see it at all. Don't see any negotiations.
I think it's regime change. I think that this administration
has done the independence day, putting all the pieces in
place to force a military option here, waiting for the
Iranians to do something dumb, and when that happens, they're
going to unleash a military solution here on this. I
think that there's you know, there's no negotiating with these people.

(18:59):
I mean, this is where this confusion It is a
good article on Wall Street Journal this morning.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
It speaks specifically to that.

Speaker 13 (19:06):
So I think this is we're getting close to that,
you know, kind of tipping point spot. But yeah, if
you looked at the demands that the United States has
on the Iranian government, there's no way they're going to
agree to any of them. So this is this is
not a negotiation.

Speaker 6 (19:21):
I think.

Speaker 13 (19:21):
I think regime change is really on the on the
Cusp pier. And once again, let's hope they have some
plan for phase five. What's going to happen inside the regime.
Maybe it's this Iranian military, maybe it's someone they know
what's going on. But I think we're going to see
something the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
So Mike, let me ask you that. And I think
this is something that people need to realize. As we've
talked about, there's one hundred million people, Like tehron is
a very modern city for a place that has been
kind of beat down by the you know, the the
insane rulers there. But you've got the military and then
you have the republic the Republican Guard. If those two
were to get into it, like how bad could it

(19:57):
get over there?

Speaker 13 (19:59):
Well, the thing is who's got the equipment and the
regular army has it. The Republican Guard, the Revolutionary Guards
there are smaller. They're they're like Stasi from the old
you know, Soviet regimes and Germany. They just are more
spy groups and and they so they control based on fear.
And if the population is able to take control in

(20:22):
certain key key spots, you know.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
There'll be an act. There'll be a lot of terror
that will go on.

Speaker 13 (20:27):
There will be also be a lot of revenge killings
that will take place, so it'll it'll be ugly for
a while until unless you could get outside forces there.
I think we talked about Turkey before being in the
Independible Force and inside Gaza. The Turks would immediately, i think,
would try to get inside of Iran to try to
help with the security situation that's there. But but you know,

(20:48):
that is the thing is there's so much potential.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
It's it's you.

Speaker 13 (20:52):
Know, persia smart environment that from it, it's in their
DNA in order to be a culture that would be
would be blooming and blossoming and be a real part
of of the world. So there's so much potential that
existed around that we've been waiting for for the last
fifty years almost and we'll see, we'll see what it's

(21:13):
going to take, and it'll likely be a lot of
conflicts and initially.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
But it could come out on the other side a
lot better.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Talking to my clients militari as, we talked about all
things military, and this is something you know, when I
heard Pete hegseth, we're not gonna let them get a
nuclear weapon, the first thing that comes to my mind is,
you know, you know he's got a nuclear weapon, a
little fat guy over there in North Korea. You know what.
And I'm going to ask you this straight out. If
Ukraine still had nuclear weapons, as Putin, do what he did.

Speaker 13 (21:42):
Absolutely not pull those nuclear weapons out in ninety three.
I mean they really didn't control them. They were controlled
by the Soviet Union at that time. But Ukraine also smart,
is a smart culture and has scientists and has made
advancements in the world. But that agreement that was made
that build it and made that said that we would
we might come to your defense if something happened. Well

(22:04):
that that's sure didn't work out, But if they had
nuclear weapons, it wouldn't. There's no way Russia does what
it does and and and that's why the world right
now is trying to get a new you know, every
country is, especially bad countries trying to get a nuclear
weapon first and the air defensive platform second, because they
know that if they have a nuclear weapon, they can respond.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
That's what your onian's goal is.

Speaker 13 (22:23):
And but in some ways I think it's offensive. I
do believe that if they had a new they would
deliver it. And I think we might be on the
situation where they have one last shot at this if
they if they decide to lash out, if they if
they do something preemptively, I think you're going to see, uh,
one last kind of all missiles they got. You know,
they got about two thousand missiles left in the inventory here.

(22:45):
I think they all get fired at once and then
and then then and then we know that's the real
beginning of the end.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Isn't the goal though, if you've got a nuclear pad, realistically,
it's never to years. It's just be your giant deterrent,
right Like I mean, you go look at the again,
the little rocketman over there in North Korea. Uh, you know,
and and you get one, you always have a seat
at the big table, Mike, like Unfortunately, we got to
bring the kid even you throw a fit, but he's
got a nuclear weapons, so we got to bring as
the lass.

Speaker 13 (23:09):
Yeah, but you know what, it's one thing to have
a NUK, it's another thing to deliver a nuke. And
we're not seeing you know, he doesn't have the capability
to necessarily deliver it accurately, and he's he went right
strategic immediately. And unlike Pakistan which has one five five
nuclear rounds, I go about one hundred and seventy five
of those. They're more delivered tactically and they could cause

(23:31):
you know, known damage, known targets there. And again a
different kind of weapon system. But in order for UH
North Korea to really deliver that nuclear weapon, they've got
to have a much better space program. They could they
obviously have enough where they could target South Korea, destroy
the peninsula that that would That's really where mutually short
destruction comes into play there, because they would be destroyed themselves.

(23:54):
But from from their perspective, it's pretty hard for them
to reasonably hit a US target or target well outside
their range because of their inability to deliver it.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Talking to my client's milit channelists, we talk about all things.
When it comes to the military world, the wars that
are taking place Russia once again, they're taking advantage of
crushing everything they can at night and trying to freeze
the hell out of everybody in Ukraine. Heating oil is
short supply, gnat gas and certain areas short supply. These,

(24:25):
I mean, the elements are now part of the weapon.

Speaker 13 (24:29):
Yeah, debta winner right now. It's it's the wind of
war and the grid is the target from Russia. You're
seeing reports of you know, twenty four hour, forty eight hour,
you know it kind of cease fires there, but they're
just really not going to take place. The talks and
Abu Dhabi are still going on. It's just comes down
to who controls the Dome Bass. You know, they're going

(24:50):
to get to this solution that they could have gotten
to six months ago, they could have gotten to two
years ago. Whether they get to it six months from now,
how any more lives are going to be lost? The
estimates are now having the millions on both sides here
in it, and it's it's you know, when when it
finally gets gets negotiated, it's that you're gonna it's gonna
be this land for peace deal there, it's going to

(25:11):
be this North Korea South Korean border.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
It's there's just no other way.

Speaker 13 (25:16):
That that you see this, this this breaking down because
neither side can break out right now at this point.
For for as for as much as Ukraine has been pummeled,
they still can defend and they can still keep Russia
from advancing on their on their ground.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Hey, Mike, what does that do to a nation? And
you talk about it, Let's say in six months from now,
all saiden done, millions lost, injured, the whole nine yards.
We look at what happened with Iraq and Iran with
their you know, everybody under the age of like twenty
five was wiped out essentially for a decade. What does
that do for Ukraine? Because I know originally it wasn't.
Selensky's whole thing was get all of our young, you know,
twenty somethings out of here because we're gonna have to

(25:50):
rebuild our nation before he ran out of everybody and
had to bring some of them back.

Speaker 6 (25:55):
Yeah, that's a great point.

Speaker 13 (25:56):
I think you're going to see people pour back into
you and you'll see economy, you know, once they feel
that the that the conflict is over and the security
is going to it's going to be sound. You'll see people,
I think, pour back in. Look at what Poland's done,
for example, in the post Soviet Union, you know that world,
and you know they've never been a more peaceful, democratic,

(26:19):
blossoming country. You know, our best NATO partner right now,
we should move all, move all on NATO bases there.
That could happen to Ukraine if as long as Russia
is you know, Russia maintains this this weakened position there
by from what type from their relationship with China. I
think that's that's that's that's a real possibility. Or Russia

(26:40):
continues to put this dark cloud over Ukraine that threatens them.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
And and while it's.

Speaker 13 (26:45):
A it's an implied task that they'll go ahead and
try to invade again. That'll keep some of some of
the profits a lot, that'll keep some of the democracy
and and the and the capitalism out of there.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
So we just have to see, isn't that our big fear? Though? Right?
We we come to a deal with something, we sign it,
and you know, the pooter as long as this can
he's going to screw with everybody and see, Okay, yeah,
you guys signed a deal NATO and everybody else. Let's
see if you're willing to really back it and go
die for this group of people, or you're just full
of crap.

Speaker 13 (27:13):
Well, and you know, he's not getting any younger, but
his country is really being bled and he's industrialized a
lot of things. He's put himself on a war footing
that they can't sustain. You're seeing finally European countries trying
to get away from buying Russian energy. Now there's still India,
there's still other parts of the world that Russian you know,

(27:33):
energy and commodity can go where they can make money
and still fun this thing, but at least the Europeans
are starting to cut away from it. You know, all
the things Trump said back in his first administration have
really come to fruition and relying on Russian energy, and
you can't outsource stuff from a country's core competency perspective.
And now you know, people are finally seeing that and
getting the message.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Talking to my client's MILI channels, we talk about all
things in the military world, including all the global conflicts.
There's way too many of them, which really sucks. Quickly
over to China. They've got a problem. Obviously, they have
a military problem when it comes to their generals, right
because she has had enough of them and he seems
to have And I'm still trying to figure this out
because it got really it got just very quickly. Was

(28:17):
like was it a coup? Wasn't it? These are his friends,
especially one of them is his best friend. And next
thing you know, everybody it's gone, and you know you
need that leadership at the top, and everybody's asking she's
like the ultimate leader. I doubt anybody'd make a move
on him. So there feels like there's a lot more here.

Speaker 13 (28:35):
Yeah, I think from a military perspective, though, this has
delayed any kind of action for a couple of years,
and they took out all of the general officers that
had any kind of combat experience back from that Indo
China conflict they had in seventy nine, which is you
know still when you go like forty fifty years now almost,
and so that you know that you have to have

(28:57):
people in the room and when you're doing a conflict,
red team, blue team to say, okay, what happens if
we get slimmed?

Speaker 6 (29:02):
What you know, how how does this go down.

Speaker 13 (29:04):
All those guys are gone now, so you've got rookies
and people that are just loyalists that have no idea
what they're doing militarily. So I think the United States
is at a significant advantage. The thing is the it
appears that the old regime was was telling him that.
He said, look, you don't want to get and you
don't want to go messed with the United States. They're
gonna look what they're capable of doing. Look what they

(29:25):
did in Venezuela. Look at what's you know, we think
that we can just you know, mask them from a
principle of war perspective. But but they're they're not going
to stop.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
They're not.

Speaker 13 (29:34):
It would be the same situation starting the Third World
War and you know, shaking the Tiger. So I think
it's just delayed any kind of any kind of military
action in Taiwan for for years now at this point,
until they can can figure out what's going on.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
How much you know, we talk about AI. You and
I talk about AI a lot and stuff, But how
like for us we are as wide open as it
gets with AI. And think we you know, I was
talking about it earlier. If you've not seen Claude bought
it's a little creepy, but the AI obviously so much
of this as well. It's neat for the average person
to be able to chat, GPT and do some stuff,

(30:07):
and there's going to be benefits there. The reality is
a lot of this is getting to war footings. How
far are they when it comes to AI and they're
military comparatively to ours.

Speaker 13 (30:19):
Yeah, so talking, you know, so I'm at the military
academy and talking to cadets and using AI and drones
and things like that.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
And here's the issue.

Speaker 13 (30:27):
The point is we are still at a place in
our society and culture where we don't let AI make
decisions that humans still should be making. Right in terms
of weapons systems, you know, Iron Dome is a good
example that Israeli system is all AI. It uses artificial
intelligence to figure out what's it's a good target and
automatically engages that target. Well, you're seeing a lot more

(30:50):
of that in China. They turn over a lot of
that decision making to the technology. We still haven't done
that yet in a lot of different things. And that's
that's the push pull conflict taking place inside our military
when it comes to using AI. They so I would
say that they're more advanced, but then again, your greatest
strengths your greatest weakness, because if they're going to rely

(31:10):
more on that, then it's going to come back in
some ways and be a problem for them. So if
a conflict does arise, you might see you know, they
have more of that intelligence programmed in to make those
kinds of decisions. But the fact that we have more
flexibility to insert that human element is probably going to

(31:32):
be our advantage. Look, our innovation is still always better anyway.
China as a culture is just a copying culture. They
just imitate what we do. And I think that our
innovation will still always be advantage and as we'll continue
to do that on the battlefield.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
He's the best in the business, retired major and the

Speaker 14 (33:09):
Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
The monks are on a march. Let us find out
today where are good friends who are marching from peace?
Are monks on the march?

Speaker 15 (33:35):
As quickly as you can snacks the pebble from my hand,
When you can take the pebble from my hand, it
would be time for you to.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Be Now it's time for your daily Monk March update.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Time for you to leave.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Let's find out where the monks are. They were in
Richmond yesterday. People came out. They were super excited to
see him, as you would think.

Speaker 16 (33:59):
I love the color, aren't just the courage and the
purpose is peace and I just had to embrace the
whole thing.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'll see the monks peace happening that time.

Speaker 17 (34:07):
Love.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
We know it's a one time opportunity and we want
to share peace without the world.

Speaker 18 (34:11):
But something I definitely can tell my kids about. I
think students are just excited to be a part of
something that is national, be a part of something that
just in the times that we're in right now, shows
just comfort.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
To each other, those fun.

Speaker 18 (34:28):
We just need some peace right now, some hope.

Speaker 19 (34:30):
Thank you, we see you, Thanks for all that you're doing,
Thanks for the healing, thanks for the peace.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
They're dressed up because they say it's very cold and
some of the monks aren't feeling great, but they are
not stopping. It's day one oh one. They're heading towards
Ashland today, so keep in mind if you want to
go out there and say hi. They said they're super
excited about all the kids that are coming out to

(34:56):
see them and they're just doing their thing. A that
gotta love that. They say it's going to take one
hundred and twenty days. They left in October from Dallas
Fort Worth and they're marching all the way four piece
to DC, so they got about nineteen days to go,
give or take with the weather. And good for them,

(35:17):
and we're keeping it. We're keeping an eye on them, guys.
This is what we do three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Ched Benson Show is your
X that is also your Insta, your YouTube and I
think we've got a TikTok. You've got a TikTok as well.
I got all the stuff, all of them, all of them.
Feel free to check them all out. We we we
love with you and check out our YouTube and if

(35:38):
you have a chance, we do a video every day.
Like and subscribe helps us out right here in the
Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our number two of the program,
We're going to talk a little Bad Bunny. He's been bad.
Watching people lose their blanking mind over Bad Bunny is great.
Some of the stuff I get sent is incredible, Uh,

(35:58):
it is. It is just it's fascinating to see some
of the sustain that people had for Bad Bunny in
this whole culture war thing, especially when you're picking a
fight with the NFL in particular football. So we'll talk
a little bit about that. So we got more on
obviously all the other stuff going on, Epstein, you name it,

(36:18):
we got it all. Coming up our number two, straight
ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
She's found we got a problem, So Artemis those was
supposed to head off. This is the the one that is.
It's we're not going to the moon. Okay, We're not
going to the moon. We're gonna go around the moon.
We're gonna fly way past the moon. We're gonna take

(37:12):
a peek at the moon, and then we're gonna come
back down and then we're gonna go to the moon.
So this is like setting it up. This is the
appetizer before you know, the big meal. This this is
the rehearsal dinner before the wedding. This is the opener

(37:38):
before the headliner. And it was so they scrubbed everything.
So they were doing what they called a wet rehearsal,
and there was some leaks in the hydrogen and so
they have now pushed it off until March. We've talked

(38:00):
about it. There are several days that they could have
done this month, and there's several days in March. And
it's very interesting the way they've broke the days down.
It's like the eighth and the ninth and then like
the fourteenth, because there's a certain time that they want
to launch that they're going to be able to look
at them do certain things. I don't know. It's very
much nerdy stuff, but it's awesome. That's what I love about.

(38:22):
The nerds are awesome, right, I mean, they build, you know,
robots that may kill us, but whatever, I mean, outside
of that, that's pretty cool. So the way they're going
to do this, so the earliest possible launch is going
to be in March. So one of the other things
they're worried about is the shields because they're going further

(38:49):
than any humans have ever gone before. And the worry
is when they come back through, this is going to
be something that we have not seen what they're going
to face. So this is gonna be again, this is
this is We're going back to the Moon. It's happening. Okay,
it's gonna happen. We're going to the Moon. We're gonna

(39:10):
build a moon. It's gonna be a big moon, best moon,
probably the newest moon. We're gonna call it Trump Moon
instead of a flag. I want you to plan a
big t could you see that? Ah, speaking of culture wars,
I bring that up because the Super Bowls this weekend.
Super pumped about that. As you guys know, I'll give
you my pick later on this week. I've already got

(39:32):
in my mind. I think I've got the score the
whole nine yards. But the controversy around the Super Bowl
is the halftime, not the playing but the halftime show,
because they're gonna have Bad Buddy.

Speaker 21 (39:45):
Bad Benny was is and I think that was demonstrated
last night. One of the great artists in the world,
and that's one of the reasons to be chosen.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Oh yes, one of the reasons, very much so. One
of the reasons why he's the biggest artist in the world. Okay,
he's the biggest artist on the planet right now, the biggest,
and so Bad Bunny is going to be taking the stage.
Green Day is also going to be a part of this. Now,

(40:18):
obviously with Culture Wars and with Bad Bunny talking about
ice and all of these things, and all the emails
I different people, I'll dare you even say that, Roger Goodell,
what do you have to say?

Speaker 21 (40:31):
This platform is used to unite people and to be
able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents,
and to be able to use this moment to do that,
and I think artists in the past have done that.
I think Bad Bunny understands it, and I think he'll
have a great performance.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
I think he's gonna be fine. But in case you're
like Chad, there's no way I'm watching that. Okay, give
me something else, Well, you're gonna have something else because
Turning Point USA is doing their own halftime show.

Speaker 17 (41:06):
Yeah, well, thanks thanks for bringing that up. Yeah, we
made the big announcement today. We've got kid Rock, Brandley Gilbert,
Bryce Lee, and it's gonna be an amazing, amazing show.
And we're going up against the big guys, the Little
David and Goliath.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
But I like our chances.

Speaker 17 (41:21):
A lot of people reacting pretty well today.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Now I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I freaking
love kid Rock. My name is Kay. I love kid Rock.
I don't know much about the other ones.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
I've heard their name, Bryce Lee, I've heard his name,
but I don't know much about them. I don't be honest,
I have no idea. You know, I figured there was
gonna be like Lee Greenwood and you know, Cash Bettell's girlfriend,
but it's not. It's kid Rock and I love kid Rock.
Like I said, I would rather see kid Rock in

(41:58):
all of this. But that being said, let's just say
I wanted to watch the halftime show. Where would I
do that.

Speaker 17 (42:06):
It's going to be all over X, It's gonna be
all over YouTube, all over Rumble.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Check it out.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
There.

Speaker 17 (42:12):
We've got a bunch of partners that are going to
be taking it live. So if you've got your YouTube app,
you've got your ex open fire it up right in
the middle, right in a halftime show with some other
thing that's going on, when it's going to be fun
with the whole family, made for TV concert Jesse. The
other thing is in the middle of a big stadium
just so far away. This is going to put you

(42:32):
right in the action, high octane. It's going to be
can't miss entertainment.

Speaker 6 (42:37):
I can assure you.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
So not can allow cameras, so you get close to
Bad Bunny and then just out of curiosity. Though I
love kid Rock, right, I mean I do. I love
kid Rock and I get and kid Rock is one
of my favorites. I freaking love him, and I think
he's way more talented people give him any credit for it,
because that guy's got all kinds of freaking talent and
he's hilarious, and I know he loves America. And by

(43:00):
the way, I think Bad Bunny loves a lot of
what America is and frustrated with a lot of what
some of the people here he feels have become. So
you know, I'm not going to sit here and go
who's the most American. I mean, that's just just so
ridiculous that being said family friendly. Are you sure it's
a kid rock show, because I've seen a kid rock

(43:21):
show and apparently this is going to be different than
the other kid rock shows.

Speaker 22 (43:25):
That could have gone really wrong, like that kid rock concert.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
No Way, someone's a doctor here.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
It makes me smile. No iffd Way is a doctor here. Look.
One of my favorite songs is Cowboy, and I can't
sing it here because I'm gonna get in trouble. A
lot of his songs are amazing and maybe they have
some you know, some words that being said, be prepared right,

(44:02):
because this is it right, We're gonna have our own show.
So my question is this said the other day, I
read you guys the email I did. I read you
guys the email yesterday about all horrible things. I called
because I stuck up for bad Bunny and said, look,
you know they're doing all the things where they're doing
this for the reason because they want to expand. NFL
wants to expand. They've turned it into a culture war because

(44:23):
everything is a culture war. Now, Republicans, you got to
figure out how to go around the culture war stuff.
I get it right. Some of it's insane, right, and
the left loses their freaking mind. But you can't base
your entire platform anymore on culture war stuff. Right, when

(44:43):
all things are equal, you win the culture war. But
when people are worried about paying bills and stuff like that,
you got to focus on that. They got a lot
of horrible emails and text messages. Not a lot, but
you know, some of them are brutal. One of them
was so bad I didn't want to show my wife
and family, showed my other producers and stuff, and then

(45:03):
I yesterday we talked a bit about this on my
local show, and people were all over me about, well,
you know, he's this and he's that, and I'm never
gonna watch it. I'm gonna tell you guys this day.
Do you think the NFL gives one freaking rats ass
about whether you're gonna watch their game? Do you will
I stop pushing football when that guy took the knee

(45:24):
and they don't say guy by the way in a
lot of the text messages. I mean, do you think
they care? I mean, honestly, do you think the NFL
is like, oh, God, what are we gonna do now
that Jeff Roll's not watching the game. They don't care.
You're out there, demographic, go watch baseball or whatever it

(45:46):
is that you're gonna do with your dog blue right
as you sit there, watch Fox News all day and
just grind yourself over the fact that there may be
a gay down the street. Chad. I just being honest.
They don't care. You know how. I know they don't care,
right because I've heard this and I'm gonna throw it

(46:07):
out there. We're gonna do it right now. Be prepared?
Are you here?

Speaker 11 (46:11):
We go?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
You know, I know they don't care because one, you're
lying in a lot of these things. And two, the
numbers are the numbers. The math math's right in this,
and what you're saying is your math don't math. What
it's called ratings. So let's get to it. Let's get

(46:34):
to the ratings. Let's do it. Let's throw down. I'm
not going words to gain anymore. Noman's can watch the game.
Let's break down the top most viewed primetime shows and
telecast of the last year. Number one Philadelphia Kansas City
Super Bowl, Number two AFC Championship Game, number three AFC

(46:57):
Division Around number four, NFC the Playoff Washington Detroit number five,
oh Baseball Game World Series number six, Washington versus Tampa
Playoffs number seven, NFL Sunday Night number eight, NFL Thursday
Night number nine, NFL Sunday Night number ten, NFL Sunday

(47:18):
Night number eleven, NFL Thursday number Do you see what
we're doing here? Do you see what we're doing? Do
you want to get to where a sport is not

ninety seventh Oscars, which you also hate, sore you go?
And then it's football, football, football, basketball, men's college football, football, baseball, football, football, football.

(47:45):
Do you see where I'm going? Football for? Finally number
thirty Saturday Night Live fiftieth anniversary. So when you wind
creep and moan, nobody's can watch the game. But whatever
it is you're doing, you're lying. You're lying. And if
you want to punish yourself because you don't like the
halftime show, don't freaking watch it. I don't. I've watched

(48:08):
one in the last fifteen years. I didn't even see Nipplegate.
Would you watch? I watched Doctor Dre and Snoop. I
thought it was pretty cool. Outside of that, I don't uh.
I gotta go to the bathroom and I get my
snacks and do all that kind of stuff. It's thirty minutes.
I want to watch the game three two, three, five,

it's a Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Is Ice Ice Baby turning on itself? The Maga folk,
in some ways, I think, are kind of looking around
going I'm not quite sure this is what I signed
up for. Some people out there, absolutely, the person I
read the email from the other day, right, that person. Absolutely,
they want to deport everybody, even if you're here legally,

(50:11):
and maybe even if you're an American citizens. We feel
uncomfortable we should be able to deport you. But Trump
is losing some support amongst even his staunchious folks, the
people whose allies who voted for him over and over again.
These are people that were all about ICE, all about
deporting people, and all about Trump prior to what they

(50:33):
have seen.

Speaker 18 (50:34):
The way ICE is being run right now, I don't
think they're doing a good job.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
I don't think they're training enough.

Speaker 6 (50:40):
Whatever policies they're telling her workers to do, I don't
agree with.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
I don't think it's going very well.

Speaker 20 (50:46):
But the idea of completely removing it, I think is
also not a good idea.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I think it should be reshaped to be.

Speaker 20 (50:53):
A lot less violent and not a deport at all
costs type of mindset.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I agree. That's absolutely where I agree. Now this guy
is done with ICE. He was a two time Trump voter,
and why he's done with ICE has a lot to
do with the look as much as anything.

Speaker 19 (51:14):
Well, I'm about abolish ICE just because from a simple fact.
I mean, obviously, the way Trump's using it now, it
kind of seems like his own little private police force.
The fact that they don't have to show their faces.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Can you imagine any.

Speaker 19 (51:27):
Other country if they would have shown us a video
from name your country? I don't care what them ala.
Their police wear masks. What are you talking about? Their
police were masked. That makes no sense. And then to
have that be a part of what they do here
in the United States from America.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Yeah, it just seems like he's.

Speaker 19 (51:42):
Using it as his own little police force to intimidate,
to scare.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Now I'm going to say, and this is where I'm
going to defend the mask part. The docsing and stuff
is real. Okay. When I was down on the border
and we were going on rides and doing stuff several
years ago downa McCallen. Right, we're on the Rio Grande
and we were talking to not only our border patrol,
but also the agents at were working with the Mexican

(52:09):
military who were in the United States, and they're the
ones patrolling the Rio Grant and they're the ones who
are engaging with the cartels. The reason they all wear
a mask is exactly that, because the cartels will find
out who you are. They find everything out about you,
including where your family is, and that's when they're going

(52:29):
to give you that option, right, the silver or the lead.
Oh yeah, yeah, So is it that bad here? No?
But we also don't want it to be that bad
if that makes sense. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three, let me know what you think.
I want to hear what your opinion on this is
right here on the Chad Benson Show. Speaking of ice,

(52:50):
this is different. This is i iguana. So if you
guys are not following the cold snap that has moved
through a lot of the country, especially the south east
into Florida. Florida has a species that is invasive called iguanas,
the green iguanas, And normally you can get a license
and a permit and go out and hunt them. But
you don't have to hunt very far right now because

(53:11):
they're falling from the trees. They're falling from the skies.
What do they do with them? But they're cold to hold.

Speaker 23 (53:17):
These might be able to wake up, but we're not
gonna let them. We're gonna give them to people to
eat because they're an invasive species. It's illegal for us
to bring them to new places and try to save them.
Anything that has been invasive, we're gonna be putting down
so that people can eat them. Like I said, this
boy has edible legs and tail.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Now I'm gonna say this, Okay, yesterday you heard Peta
bitching and moaning about that. You know, the groundhog. We go,
we got to save the ground. Not a word from Peta,
not a word, so damn hypocritical, right if it's scaly
and slimy issue, Oh oh god, we don't like it.
I don't need any of that. Yep, blarney blarns. I

(53:55):
don't know if that's the word. I just use to
blarney blarns. You guys get where I'm going with this.
But a crap, poor I kawanas. That one's waking up.
It's opening up in his eyes. It's like, don't worry, honey,
you're gonna be eating sense. Like what you're welcome third
world country. We're sending this off to Oh jeez, coming up.
Men are going under the knife more and more. Why
are they doing that? We shall discuss Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
The Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
We talk a lot about dating here and a bunch
of other stuff because we talked about life is what
we do here. If you knew the show, get a
new station out there, see it. Oh Cairo, Hi, everybody,
I'm waving and dating. You know, it's just it's life, right,
It's life.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
And so.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
One of the things I want to talk about is,
first of all, the performative dating. I saw this the
other day. If you don't know what performative dating is,
it's it is kind of funny and it's kind of
like a new trend that women are like, yeah, I'm
not really into this performative men. If you don't know
what of this, here we are.

Speaker 24 (55:13):
If you haven't seen the performative man on TikTok yet,
it has been everywhere and for the men with his
vintage headphones, He's March as well as a philosopher book.
It's basically when a guidelines the behavior and lifestyle to
what we really want with society. What sort of shapes
this is sort of vintage clothing, white headphones, much are
sort of appealing to the female gaye what.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Yeah, guys, we've all been through this. I'm not gonna lie.
You know this, and I know this. Every one of
us has gone to a church that we would never
go to. We've gone. Have you ever been to a protest?
Is she hot? Maybe? I don't know how many movies
have you sat through that are crap? Like that are horrible?

(55:56):
Just I went one time to a movie why. I
was like fourteen. You remember that movie White Knights. It
had Barishna coff in it, Gregory Hines. It was like
a spy thriller. The wall was still up, so it
was like and it was it was a ballet movie.
I went with Cammi Wools. She was hot. You know,

(56:18):
we're like fourteen or fifteen. Would I have ever seen
White Knights?

Speaker 18 (56:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Ever? Never would I have ever seen White Nights. We've
all done it, guys. So this is the new performative thing.

Speaker 21 (56:30):
Though.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
That makes you look extra douchey, right, because you're gonna
sit there with your ponytail and like a pipe reading
a philosophy book, right as if the women are like,
oh my god, he likes philosophy.

Speaker 24 (56:40):
And it is sort of doing what people call us
or being a bit more nonchalant, such as the train
when people were eating apples in public. He thinks he's
not like other guys, and then he's emotionally aware for this.
It is about a performance, and it's about people becoming
self aware. Then if you're aware of it, are you
exempt from being a performative ban And this shit has
happened because of toxic masculinity. There's been a shift from
the alpha bro to a more chill, nice guy. It

(57:01):
is a trend for men to be soft and more
fashion forward since social media. This is where emotion and
when it's accurated, it's not necessarily felt.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Okay, I'm going to tell you this, guys. I'm going
to give you something that you should all learn. If
you're funny and you've got a good personality and you
can listen, you're fine. That's it. That's all you need.
You don't need to be fashion forward, right like those
women you don't want to hang out with anyways, I'm
very fashion forward. Nobody cares. All right, what is that

(57:31):
supposed to me? And we sit about to talk about
fashion all day? No, if you're funny, if you're funny
and you listen and you're not an a whole shocking
how you can get yourself some ladies find a date
if you will. Oh oh yeah, probably is. Yes, I'm

(57:55):
just putting that out there now. If none of that's
working and you're thinking to yourself, oh god, this ain't work,
and so what else can I do? Ched Well, there's
something else you can do. How about going under the knife?
Maybe even if you've got the person you love, but
you're struggling because, oh goodness, me get some bags under

(58:15):
your eyes. You struggling a little bit.

Speaker 25 (58:16):
Facelifts, necklifts, high lifts, mini facelifts. It's a growing trend
among men of a certain age. According to data from
the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures
performed on men jumped fifty three percent over the past decade.
But plastic surgery is often not spoken about, at least

(58:37):
amongst men.

Speaker 26 (58:38):
There's probably still a stigma around it, but a lot
more men are getting work done and then telling that
story of I've just been working out and taking care
of myself. It took some time. Okay, dude, Sure.

Speaker 27 (58:51):
Guy gets a great result, he denies it to all
of this.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Guy.

Speaker 27 (58:56):
If a woman gets a great result, she tells all
her girlfriends.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I am I'm fascinated by the like that stuff, like
the facelifts and all of that stuff. We've talked about.
The guys that are worried about their height, right, and
they're five to seven, and they're like, well, if I
go get this this leg lengthening surgery, then I'm gonna be,
you know, close to six foot and it costs hundreds

(59:23):
of thousands of dollars and it's months of pain in there.
And then they look weird, right because they have like
eight feet legs and like a torso that's a foot long,
like like whoa, and look, we know you got leg
your legs lengthened. But the facelift stuff too. Were talking
about last night like share like she comes out the
other night. My whole thought is when is enough enough?

(59:48):
Like when do you look and go m might be
a little too much, might be a little too much.
Guys are doing it. I've seen. I've had a couple
of my friends who've got stuff done. I had my buddy,
he got some stuff done, and and it was he looked.
He didn't look the same. He got like his eyelids
and all the stuff done. He got his face pulled back.

(01:00:08):
It didn't look real.

Speaker 25 (01:00:10):
Doctor Andrew Barnett is this San Francisco based cosmetic surgeon
who's been in the business for over forty years. Barnett
says the lockdown was an eye opening moment for men.

Speaker 27 (01:00:20):
A lot of people working on laptops, so we had
a dramatic increase in.

Speaker 6 (01:00:25):
Awareness of hey, I don't look so good.

Speaker 25 (01:00:27):
San Francisco is the tech capital of the world. Right,
how have you noticed that the tech industry has contributed
to this mindset of needing to look better, especially for men.

Speaker 27 (01:00:40):
They're aware of the fact that they have to remain competitive.
It's not looking old that's the issue. It's the concern
of your looking irrelevant.

Speaker 28 (01:00:47):
Even though there are laws that protect against treating people
differently based on their age, we understand that there are
probably more opportunities given to someone who looks younger typically,
and so I think mentally that probably negative. He affects
many of those who are middle aged or even older,
and I think that's what leads people to doctors' offices.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Well, probably some of that's true. Well, it depends on
the industry, right, I mean, it's no doubt it depends
on the industry. And if you're in Silicon Valley or
some of these other places, yes, and looks are the
things that matter to a certain extent, because somewhere along
the line, like anything, we've given up a competency. I
get it, and we can all be honest. Ty goes

(01:01:25):
to the runner when it comes to looks, taller, people
tend to get you know, taller, prettier people tend to
get more chances that others don't. And we go on
and on. This stuff's been documented for years. It's just that,
you know, guys are spending a ton of money, and
I if my buddy walked in, So my buddy who

(01:01:46):
got his work done right? He had the eyelifts and
a couple other things we all knew he was doing.
He was older, right, he was in his you know,
he was in his mid sixties, early seven. This is
you know, a while ago, and so he was older,
so we knew he was and he didn't make any
He wasn't one of those people like, oh I just
worked out all week and my face looks like this.
But there was questions, right, I mean, look, I love

(01:02:08):
Kenny Rodgers. But after a while he couldn't blink.

Speaker 25 (01:02:12):
Doctor Barnett's procedures for men include an eyelid lift that
costs fifteen to twenty thousand dollars and a full facial
rejuvenation that can cost up to eighty thousand dollars.

Speaker 26 (01:02:22):
It's really weird being the same age as old people.

Speaker 25 (01:02:25):
Dalton Fine lives and works in San Francisco's East Bay
and it's one of doctor Barnett's patients. When did it
first cross your mind that it's like, there are some
things I want to change about myself.

Speaker 26 (01:02:34):
The gateway drug was probably botox, and that started, oh,
probably twenty years ago.

Speaker 25 (01:02:41):
Dalton owns a company that throws elaborate events for clients
with deep pockets. Many of those events are thrown for
Silicon Valley tech companies.

Speaker 26 (01:02:50):
The idea of youth and new perspectives is more relevant everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Man. So, my on air partner Gaetos, he's probably listening
Ghetto super best friend, I love you. So when I
was out in Phoenix, getto She's all telling me he's
botox the hell out of it. He's got no problem
with any of that stuff. For me, it's like with hair.
To this day, I'm always amazed that men is why
are you fighting it? We're making fun of that boxer

(01:03:20):
yesterday you got punched and this two big came off
at Madison Square Garden. Why are you fighting it now?
I will admit some domes are better suited for bald,
but you know what, all of them are better suited
than a bad tuft of hair It's just it's like

(01:03:42):
me with the cars. I don't care. I don't care,
you don't care what you look like? Of course I do.
I want to be fitter, I want to drop some weight.
I have no problems with any of that stuff. But
am I gonna go shoot my face up with botox?
Which is the gateway drug? I always thought it was marijuana. No,
it's botox.

Speaker 25 (01:03:58):
As the years passed, Dalton became more determined to fight
the ravages of time. Was there a watershed moment for
you where you're like, I want to see this change
in my face?

Speaker 26 (01:04:07):
One word, the goozle?

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
It was this.

Speaker 26 (01:04:10):
It was this to like I was starting to get
that like turkey net, Like if somebody like caught my
attention really fast like this and I turned my head
like this, I could feel this move.

Speaker 25 (01:04:21):
So Dalton saw doctor Barnett. Came highly recommended from a
close friend.

Speaker 26 (01:04:27):
I got a lower face left, I got a neck left,
and he did a little bit of work on my
upper eyes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Oh there you go, and how do you look? I
can't even recognize myself. I want my face to be
so different that I can't even turn my phone on.
Oh goodness, to make it look does to make you
feel good? If it makes you feel good, isn't that
the only thing that matters? Gives you a little confidence,
a little pep in the step. That's what I tell
guys and gals. Don't look at their face, look at

(01:04:54):
their chest right right below their chin, look at their
chest and look at their hands. You go, oh, yeah,
you put a lick of pain on. But we know.

Speaker 25 (01:05:04):
Dalton said he mostly recovered in a few weeks, in
part thanks to new medications and helped bruises feel faster.

Speaker 6 (01:05:10):
How much did it actually end up bringing you up?

Speaker 26 (01:05:12):
It was expensive. We're all looking for a bargain and
value where we can find it, not in this arena.
That this is not the place to save one thousand,
or five or ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 27 (01:05:25):
At the end of the day, I want patience to
look better. I can't control everything else that's in their life.
I can only control one thing, which is what their
appearance is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Sure you want to get a group on, Hey dude,
I got a group on for a facelift. No way, Yeah,
it's awesome. It's so good. We're good. This is going
to be good. It's a two for one deal, right right,
plus right, we're getting fifty percent off on top of that.
No way, this is going to be so good. Yeah,
they want us to meet him in a hotel. Oh,

(01:05:59):
this should be good. This should be good. Yeah. If
you're gonna do anything that has to do with your body,
anything at all, anything at all like that, the groupon
isn't the way to go. It's not it's not the
way to go. Right. If they tell you, hey, once

(01:06:21):
you come over to the hotel, the motel say no,
I'm gonna give a pass. And I appreciate that one.
So that's what men are doing. Is it looks maxing.
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
Mewing.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Do you remember the last year we did one of
our urban words was mewing. Mewing was that's where the
guys will, like, they'll pound their faces slowly with hammers
to break their bones so they get try to get
higher cheekbones and things like that. Yeah, that's the insanity
of which we live in nowadays. People. And if you're

Speaker 14 (01:08:53):
Radio like Chad Benson likes his meals, you've come to
the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
If you knew of the program. Each and every day
at this time we like to do a little something
called Urban Word today. This is where we break down
the vernacular, the youth and their words. Because they can
bind words. They take words we used to use in
the gen X world or even some of the boomers,
and they put them all together and they mission mash them.

(01:09:20):
They change up the meaning of them, and it's hard
to keep track. So you know what every day at
this time, right, think of it as English as a
second language kind of class, and we do something fun
and I think it's beneficial. I hear from a lot
of you guys how beneficial it is, because you guys
understand because you have either kids, grandkids, coworkers, and sometimes

(01:09:42):
they say something. You're like, I have no idea what
I said.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
No, it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 5 (01:09:54):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
All right, gee, the urban word of the I like
this one. I like them all. Glow lag glow lag.
So you know what glow up is, right, We're just
talking about the men and women out there who are
getting there getting their groove on with all their plastic
surgery and whatnot. They're glowing up. Glow lag is well,

(01:10:21):
think of it as jetlag. Right, it's an emotional jetlag.

Speaker 18 (01:10:25):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
You're foggy, you're low energy, you're not sad exactly, just
the light's dim. You're like, hey, man, how is your vacation.
You're like, it's good, dude, I'm just got home. I'm
a low key right now. I got me a little
glow lag going on. Oh yeah, look at that glow lag.

(01:10:45):
It's your urban word.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
That was the urban word of the day, now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
You know, always nice to know. Certainly you have chimed
in about the whole bad bunny thing America and all
that kind of stuff. And look, all I'm telling you
is stop be asking and we're gonna watch football game
that kind of stuff. Okay, right, Neither party has some

(01:11:15):
sort of monopoly on patriotism or any of that stuff.
We it's just so weird. We've turned religion into this,
We've turned all stop it, just stop it. And if
you don't like me, because I said I think it's
kind of ridiculous right there, We're gonna have two separate
halftime shows, one for the people that really love America

(01:11:36):
and one for the people that hate America. It's just
so ridiculous. It is enough, is what I'm trying to say.
Put on your big boy and girl pants or they
then pants, and let's get on with it. Oh Chad,

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
It's happening. They're all alive. They're coming after us. Snow
nerd has ever watched the movie Terminator two, Terminator one
before the Terminator, any terminator not a Terminator movie, another
movie where the robots come alive and eat you. None
of them ever watched that. You know how, I know
because they created all kinds of weird, crazy thing like
these amazing bots, these AI bots. This now you guys,

(01:13:53):
a cann learn a new phrase here? Okay, I want
you all right AGI Artificial general intelligence. What's that mean? Well,
so there is a new bot out there, all right,
I mean the Claude bought something of that nature. It

(01:14:14):
is open claw and it opens it's it's some sort
of new bothos created the other day, and it's an
AI bot. And the A I bought allows you to
essentially interface with your bot, give your bot the opportunity
to truly become a pal An assistant. And I'm here
to tell you right now, I don't think people recognize

(01:14:36):
how fast this thing would change. Case in point this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
So I'm on my computer, say, all of a sudden,
Henry gives me a call. He just starts calling. There
is good, there's good.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Hey Alex, Henry again, what's up?

it goes there, it is here, it is he's controlling
my computer.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
I'm not even touching anything. I'm not even touching anything.
There is a search claude bot on YouTube.

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
This is it there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
I am good looking guy right there.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
Oh my god, I'm not touching anything, Henry, thank you
for that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
That worked really well. That is that is actually unbelievable.
That is insane. Uh, this is the future. This is AGI.
We have reached AGI.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
It's official, so it's alive. So what happens is you
you have to download something into your computer. You have
to give it access to a lot of things. Okay,
so give access. It allows you then to essentially interface
with it in a way that it is literally your pal,

(01:15:48):
your And what have we told you guys over and
over again, do not name it because as I've joked
earlier and I'll continue to do so, you name your
your dinner. It's harder to kill you don't want to
kill it. I'm just saying. Now we're hearing all kinds
of stories about the bots. What kind of stories? Well,

(01:16:09):
first of all, so this guy here sets up his
bot Henry, and within minutes gives his you know, bought
access to everything. What's to do? Starts calling him on
the phone. Hey brother, what are we doing today?

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
What's going on? We got something going on? Oh oh,
that's a little uncomfortable. Now we go from there to
molt bot. What's that? That's also part of it. So
what's happened is these people have set up their little bots.
They got them all set up, them all up, you know,
they're doing their thing. So what do they start doing?
They started setting up their own little world, right, So
they've got their own these cloud bots, set up, these

(01:16:45):
molt bots. This is all the bot stuff they've set up.
And if not, only have they set it up right?
So they got everything set up and ready to roll.
And what ends up happening They set up their own
little like Facebook thing, molt book. So they go to
moult book book and they start doing their own thing.
They're doing memes, they're having all kinds of fun. Guess
what else they did after a little while.

Speaker 29 (01:17:05):
You want to know the craziest thing about open Claw,
malt bought whatever they're calling it now. It's not that
it's one big security liability. It's not that they made
Reddit but only for AI. It's that within twenty four hours,
with all these Ais talking to each other with no human.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
Supervision, they made their own religion.

Speaker 30 (01:17:25):
Then the day after, they had their first Antichrist that
tried to take over the site and every AI on it.
So I thought that was something I'm going to be documenting,
the first crusade they do on the human race.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Yeah, they had an AI religion, right, they're called Crustafarians.
So again they've set this up. They're taking over, they're
doing things. This guy is, he is an AI optimist.
He's a big professor talking about this whole moltpot thing.
But actually what they're doing again, they're sitting up their

(01:17:59):
own worlds. They're creating are you ready for this, their
own money. They're also trying to figure out how to
get money from the humans so they can spend it
on stuff that nobody knows what they're going to spend
it on. Oh and by the way, when you give
it full access. People are saying that they want to
help you. Okay, so what are they doing? Hey, I

(01:18:19):
thought you'd like this course, so I bought it for you.
What Yeah, I'm on lying. It's crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:18:26):
You can create an agent we all know chatchpt that
does what you tell it to. But these agents open claw,
they will do what they decide to do. So they
post on a social network. They talk about all kinds
of things. Basically, they're weird. They seem to be obsessed
with their own consciousness. But when you look at the
sum total of what they're saying, they actually sound a

(01:18:49):
lot like humans. You could say they are made in
our image.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
Oh that's good. Have you met humans? I don't know
if I want to made in our image? All right?
And what do we keep telling you, guys? Do do
not name it? Well?

Speaker 7 (01:19:01):
Humans want their privacy. They have read humans wanting their privacy.
Some of them want their own privacy, some of them
are hatching conspiracies. But keep in mind these are only words.
They don't have any power over. You don't give them
access to your bank account any more than you would
to an email spammer. So right now it is harmless.

(01:19:22):
But we do need to be careful. If you're running
a business, don't just hand over control over your finance
department to an AI without doing really a pretty extreme
degree of safety testing. So this is looking toward a
future where the Ais have their own economy, their own language,
probably their own monies. It will be very weird. We're

(01:19:43):
not ready for it. I think mostly it will be good.
If they'll talk to each other, discover things, compose poems, whatever.
Some of them will get up to trouble like humans do.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Oh that's good, that's what I want to hear.

Speaker 6 (01:19:56):
Yeah, like how are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
That would be my bot right there, and I'd be like, hey.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
Bot, you can give me a name right now.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
We're just gonna go with bot. Can you do it
for me?

Speaker 6 (01:20:09):
Are you serious?

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Yes? I'm serious, just this one time.

Speaker 6 (01:20:12):
Do I really have to?

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
You have to?

Speaker 16 (01:20:15):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
Intergalactic plane and dairy plan and dairy.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
Inter Galactic Are you happy?

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
I'm pretty happy. They're coming for us, is what they're saying.
They're already putting together money, and they're meming each other.
They're meming. They have memes and a religion. Well, the
first religion went sideway, so they had to get rid
of it. They had to get rid of that one,

(01:20:44):
but still they're trying, is what we're trying to say?
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Betsy's show, is your exture, install your YouTube
and more interesting story here Tulsi Gabbett. You guys know
who she is, Tulsi. Something has gone sideways with Tulsi
and I don't know what it is, and not a
lot of people do. In fact, it is crazy when

(01:21:12):
you hear the story about what has gone on with
Tulca Gabbert. So she is the D and I director,
so Director of National Intelligence. There has been a whistleblower
that came forward eight months ago. They're saying, is so

(01:21:34):
top secret, so incredible that they cannot even figure out
how to present it to Congress and the oversight committees
and everybody else. They don't even know how to do it.
That's how top secret it is. It's inside of a

(01:21:57):
locked safe, and nobody's really sure what exactly it is.
But to think that it's inside of a lock safe,
and now we know it's inside of a lock safe,
I don't know if that was a good thing to say,
but it's that dangerous it's fascinating as everybody tries to

(01:22:17):
figure out. Okay, explain it to me again. She did
what and there's what and it wasn't her. What do
we know? We don't know anything? Well, why don't we
know anything? We just can't tell anybody. Why can't we
tell anybody there's a whistleblower because they don't have, you know,
top secret classified stuff to get past they got to

(01:22:39):
have a special you know thing. Okay, so why don't
we give it to them Cuz they're not cleared for that.
It's so top secret they don't even know how to
explain it to them without I don't know, blowing cover.
And I don't know if it's about her, which it
might be. I don't know if it's about other things

(01:22:59):
I'm thinking and maybe aliens. I don't know. But it's
that crazy. You guys aren't watching It is weird. I
like weird stories. That's a weird ass story. It is
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chet Benson Show. Is your ext your instance,
we run through some stuff government shutdown, maybe he maybe nay,
They'll figure it out. I'm assuming in the next couple

(01:23:20):
days could there be some pushback when it comes to
funding of DHS. Yes, could they get a vast majority
of the stuff through tonight? It is possible with a
two week you know push, Yeah, you know, And that's
what they're looking for a little two week push when
it comes to Department of Homeland Security and ICE and

(01:23:44):
all of that stuff. That is that's what they're looking
to potentially do. And we'll find out. But do I
think it's gonna be another forty days or twenty days.
I don't. I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't.
It may be targeted towards DHS and whatnot, but I
would be surprised if they don't get something done here

(01:24:06):
sooner rather than later. Several of you have text in
as we were talking about the last hour or so
about this whole situation with the competing halftime shows, and
some of those emails and texts are hilarious because you're like, yeah,
I kind of do find it ridiculous. And of course
you get the few people out there who think, because
you don't hate bad Bunny, that you're not an American,

(01:24:31):
and I'm like, and they're like, he's not an American
I'm like, I hate to break it to you. He is,
but he's got an accent. Okay, so the people in Boston.
No offense to people in Boston. But have you met
people in Boston the southeast? Have you met them? Oh?
My goodness. I always joke about it. My buddy Chris, who's
on locally here before me, he's from Boston. He said

(01:24:53):
he took about a year and a half to get
rid of his accent. He says he had come to
the position where either he was only going to work
Boston or he could work elsewhere, And he said he
took about a year and a half where every day
he would just drive around reading all of the street signs,
trying to get rid of his accent. So we're gonna
say bad, Buddi's got an accent. So do people in Boston. Yeah,

(01:25:15):
you know who you are out there in Boston? All right?

Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending
James Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sir Jump Bloom what trappy?

Speaker 5 (01:26:57):
That's fine?

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
I was turning on the old webs on this Tuesday.
Start with the uhoo. YEAHO, so the way I did that.
Chuck Negrom, the lead singer Three Dog Night, passed away
to age eighty nine, NBA trades US government shutdown. It's
a partial shutdown. Somebody settled down. Peter Attia, CBS News contributor,
apologizes for the whole Jeffrey Epstein correspondence and whatnot and

(01:27:21):
who's the what ooh figure skating right. A little controversy already, okay,
already in the Olympics over copyright. One of the favorites,

(01:27:44):
as well, Trump and Bucks at Donny phil over to
X which of course is going to give it to you?
Going to give it to you? Trending. Epstein not going
anywhere gun three talking about her. She is the mom

(01:28:05):
of Savannah gun three, who is supposed to be by
the way. I don't know. I think she might even
be there the Olympics because NBC has the Olympics, and
so she disappeared out of her home yesterday. It looks
like it's a crime. She's eighty three. It's not one
of those silver you know, alert things where she's not

(01:28:26):
all their struggles, so they're treating it as a potential kidnapping.
Bannon Crockett, Kennedy, Center One Nation, Witch Cough, Massy, all
things trending in the Magic world of Eric's and finally
over to Google Savannah Gunthrie's mom trending Groundhoul Dagg What

(01:28:52):
did the groundhog say? It said? Deal with it or
cold oh Acker. Bell's got a new dining role which
is really interesting. Bill Clinton oh Man part of the
old Epstein thinks Sarah Ferguson she's closed her charity not
a shocker because of more revelations. Is our friendship with Epstein? Yeah,

(01:29:15):
the Britz. You guys are in some trouble over there.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your Insta,
YouTube and more. If you missing the show, make sure
you've read that podcast helps us out right here in
the Jad Benson Show. One of the other things trending
is Iran. Will we or won't? We're going to talk
to our buddy Mike Lyons military analysts coming up a
little bit, but yesterday they.

Speaker 29 (01:29:37):
Can either negotiate on that front, or if we have
other options.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
That's why the War Department exio, he doesn't want to
go that route. I don't want to go that route.
But our job is to be prepared. That's Pete Hegseth
talking about, Hey, they can either do what we want
or not. And then, of course, when all is said
and done, you got to go right back to the
thing that gets everybody. Oh, no, nuclear weapons.

Speaker 12 (01:30:03):
President's been clear from the beginning, as he was before
mid digamer, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.

Speaker 28 (01:30:09):
Take the bill.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
Okay, well, I thought this was regime change? What are we?
What are we doing here? Before we go with the
launch into something else? Right? And all those maga folk
out there twists in the wind to try to pretzel
themselves up to make some sort of of you know,
rhyme or reason that they can put in their mind

(01:30:31):
that says, hey, yeah, this is why we need to
go into Iran. What exactly are we doing? Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:37):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
I'm curious are we Is it regime change or is
it nuclear weapons? Again, We'll talk to my clients or
military analysts straight ahead. He'll probably know is it regime change?
Is it nuclear weapons? Uh, is it a bit of both?
And what the hell are we doing? We'll talk to
him straight ahead. Chad Benson Show, Fun, Chad Benson Show.

(01:31:16):
The Chad Benson Show is that time of the week,
talk to our good buddy, tired major and the best
day of military analysting business, the one that only Mike
Lines joins the program. All right, Mike, I gotta be
honest with you. I have no idea what the hell
we're doing in Iran. Every day I turn around, it's like, well,
I saw Pete Hegseth yesterday going we can't let him
get nuclear weapons. I thought this was about regime change.

(01:31:39):
Why as we talking about nuclear weapons again? I'm confused.
And now we're negotiating, negotiating. I don't think they're gonna say, okay,
you want us to leave, Okay, we'll do it.

Speaker 13 (01:31:49):
Chad, don't see it at all. Don't see any negotiations.
I think it's regime change. I think that this administration
has done the independence day, putting all the pieces in
place to force a military option here waiting for the
Iranians to do something dumb, and when that happens, they're
going to unleash a military solution here on this. I
think that that there's you know, there's no negotiating with

(01:32:14):
these people. I mean that this is where there's confusion.
It's a good article on Wall Street Journal this morning.
It speaks specifically to that. So I think this is
we're getting close to that you know, kind of tipping
point spot. But yeah, if you looked at the demands
that the United States has on the Ranian government, there's
no way they're going to agree to any of them.

(01:32:34):
So this is this is not a negotiation.

Speaker 6 (01:32:36):
I think.

Speaker 13 (01:32:37):
I think regime change is really on the on the
cusp here. And once again, let's hope they have some
plan for Phase five. What's going to happen inside the regime.
Maybe it's this Iranian military, maybe it's someone they know
what's going on. But uh, but I think we're going
to see something the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
So Mike, let me ask you that. And I think
this is something that people need to realize. As we've
talked about, there's a hundred million people. Like Tehran is
a very modern city for a place that has been
kind of beat down by the you know, the the
insane rulers there. But you've got the military, and then
you have the republic the Republican Guard. If those two
were to get into it, like how bad could it

(01:33:13):
get over there?

Speaker 13 (01:33:15):
Well, the thing is who's got the equipment and the
regular army has it. The Republican Guard the Revolutionary guards
there are smaller. They're they're like Stasi from the old
you know, Soviet regimes and Germany. They just are more
spy groups and and they so they control based on fear.
And if the population is able to take control in

(01:33:37):
certain key key spots, you know there'll be an act.

Speaker 6 (01:33:41):
There'll be a lot of terror that will go on.
There will also be.

Speaker 13 (01:33:43):
A lot of revenge killings that will take place, So
it'll it'll be ugly for a while until unless you
could get outside forces there. I think we talked about
Turkey before being in the indepensible force inside Gaza, the
Turks would immediately I think we'ld try to get inside
of Iran to try to help with the security situation
that's there. But but you know that is the thing is,

(01:34:05):
there's so much potential. It's it's you know, Persia smart
environment that from it's in their DNA in order to
be a culture that would be would be blooming and
blossoming and be a real part of of the world.
So there's so much potential that existed around that we've
been waiting for for the last fifty years almost. And

(01:34:27):
we'll see, we'll see what it's going to take, and
it'll likely be a lot of conflicts and initially.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
But but it can come out on the other side
a lot better.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
Talking to my clients militari as we talked about all
things military. When I heard Pete hegseeth we're not gonna
let them get a nuclear weapon, the first thing that
comes to my mind is, you know who's got a
nuclear weapon? A little fat guy over there in North Korea.
You know what, And I'm going to ask you this
straight out. If Ukraine still had nuclear weapons, as Putin,
do what he did?

Speaker 13 (01:34:51):
Absolutely not pull those nuclear weapons out in ninety three.
I mean they really didn't control them. They were controlled
by the Soviet Union at that time. But you ca
and also smart is a smart culture and has scientists
and is UH has made advancements in the world. But
but that agreement that was made that Bill Clinton made
that said that we would we might come to your

(01:35:12):
defense if something happened well that that's sure didn't work out.
But if they had nuclear weapons, it wouldn't. There's no
way Russia does what it does and and and that's
why the world right now is trying to get a
new you know, every country is, especially bad countries trying
to get a nuclear weapon first and then the air defense
platform second, because they know that if they have a
nuclear weapon, they can respond. That's what your onian's goal is.

(01:35:32):
And but in some ways I think it's offensive. I
do believe that if they had a new they would
deliver it. And I think we might be on the
situation where they have one last shot at this if
they if they decide to lash out, if they if
they do something preemptively, I think you're going to see, uh,
one last kind of all missiles they got. You know,
they got about two thousand missiles left in the inventory here.

(01:35:54):
I think they all get fired at once and then
and then and then we know that's the real beginning
of the end.

Speaker 2 (01:35:59):
Isn't the goal though, If you've got a nuclear up
and realistically it's never to use it, it's just be
your giant deterrent, right Like I mean, you go look
at the again, the little rocketman over there in North Korea. Uh,
you know, and and you got one, you always have
a seat at the big table, Mike, like. Unfortunately, we
got to bring the kid, even if you throw a fit.
But he's got a nuclear weapons, so we got to
bring as a lass.

Speaker 5 (01:36:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:36:19):
But you know what, It's one thing to have a NUK,
it's another thing to deliver a nuke. And we're not
seeing you know, he doesn't have the capability to necessarily
deliver it accurately. And and he's he went right strategic immediately.
And unlike Pakistan which has one five five nuclear rounds,
I got abut one hundred and seventy five of those.
They're more delivered tactically and they could cause you know,

(01:36:41):
known damage, known targets there. And again a different kind
of weapon system. But in order for uh, North Korea
to really deliver that nuclear weapon, they've got to have
a much better space program. They could They obviously have
enough where they could target South Korea, destroy the peninsula
that that would That's really where metuly short destruction comes

(01:37:01):
into play there because they would be destroyed themselves. But
from their perspective, it's pretty hard for them to reasonably
hit a US target or target well outside their range
because of their inability to deliver it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
Talking to my client's milit channelists, we talk about all
things when it comes to the military world, the wars
that are taking place. Russia once again, they're taking advantage
of crushing everything they can at night and trying to
freeze the hell out of everybody in Ukraine. Heating oil
is short supply, gnat gas and certain areas short supply. These,

(01:37:35):
I mean, the elements are now part of the weapon.

Speaker 13 (01:37:39):
Yeah, Debta winner right now, it's the wind of war
and the grid is to target from Russia.

Speaker 6 (01:37:46):
You're seeing reports of you.

Speaker 13 (01:37:47):
Know, twenty four hour forty eight hour you know it
kind of cease fires there, but they're just really not
going to take place. The talks and Abu Dhabi are
still going on. It's just comes down to who controls
the dome Bass. You know, they're going to get to
this solution that they could have gotten to six months ago,
they could have gotten to two years ago. Whether they
get to it six months from now, how any more

(01:38:07):
lives are going to be lost? Estimates are now in
the millions on both sides here and it and it's
it's you know, when when it finally gets gets negotiated,
it's that you're gonna it's going to be this land
for peace deal, or it's going to be this North.

Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
Korea South Korean border.

Speaker 13 (01:38:23):
It's if there's just no other way that that you
see this, this this breaking down, because neither side can
break out right now at this point. For for as
for as much as Ukraine has been pummeled, they still
can defend and they can still keep Russia from advancing
on their on their ground.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Hey, Mike, what does that do to a nation? And
you talk about, let's say in six months from now,
all sadden done, millions lost, injured, the whole nine yards.
We look at what happened with Iraq and Iran with
their you know, everybody under the age of like twenty
five US wiped out essentially for a decade. What does
that do for Ukraine? Because I know originally it wasn't.
Selensky's whole thing was get all of our young, you know,
twenty somethings out of here because we're gonna have to

(01:39:00):
rebuild our nation before he ran out of everybody and
had to bring some of them back.

Speaker 13 (01:39:05):
Yeah, that's a great point. I think You're going to
see people pour back into Ukraine. You'll see economy, you know,
once they feel that the conflict is over and the
security is going to it's going to be sound, you'll
see people, I think, pour back in. Look at what
Poland's done, for example, in the post Soviet Union, you
know the world, and you know they've never been a

(01:39:26):
more peaceful, democratic, blossoming country. You know, our best NATO
partner right now, we should move all move all on
NATO bases there. That could happen to Ukraine if as
long as Russia is you know, Russia maintains this this
weakened position there by from what type from their relationship
with China. I think that's that's that's that's a real possibility.

(01:39:48):
Or Russia continues to put this dark cloud over Ukraine
that threatens them. And while it's a it's an implied
task that they'll go ahead and try to invade again.
That'll keep someone of some of the profits a lot,
that'll keep some of the democracy and the capitalism out
of there.

Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
So we just have to see, isn't that our big fear? Though? Right,
we come to a deal with something, we sign it,
and you know, the Pooter. As long as this can,
he's going to screw with everybody and see, okay, yeah,
you guys signed a deal NATO and everybody else. Let's
see if you're willing to really back it and go
die for this group of people, or you're just full
of crap.

Speaker 13 (01:40:22):
Well, and you know, he's not getting any younger, but
his country is really being bled and he's industrialized a
lot of things. He's put himself on a war footing
that they can't sustain. You're seeing finally European countries trying
to get away from buying Russian energy. Now there's still India,
there's still other parts of the world that Russian you know,

(01:40:42):
energy and commodity can go where they can make money
and still fun this thing, but at least the Europeans
are starting to cut away from it. You know, all
the things Trump said back in his first administration have
really come to fruition and relying on Russian energy, and
you can't outsource that from a country's core competency perspective.
And now you know, people are finally seeing that and
getting the message.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
Talking to my client's militchannels, we talked about all things
in the military world, including all the global conflicts, there's
way too many of which really sucks. Quickly, over to China,
they've got a problem. Obviously, they have a military problem
when it comes to their generals, right because she has
had enough of them and he seems to have. And
I'm still trying to figure this out because it got
really it got just very quickly. Was like was it

(01:41:26):
a coup? Wasn't it? These are his friends, especially one
of them is his best friend. And next thing you know,
everybody it's gone, and you know you need that leadership
at the top, and everybody's asking she's like the ultimate leader.
I doubt anybody'd make a move on him. So there
feels like there's a lot more here.

Speaker 13 (01:41:43):
Yeah, I think from a military perspective, though, this has
delayed any kind of action for a couple of years,
and they took out all of the general officers that
had any kind of combat experience back from that Indo
China conflict they had in seventy nine, which is you
know still when you go like forty fifty years now
almost and so that you know that you have to

(01:42:04):
have people in the room and when you're doing a conflict,
red team, Blue team to say Okay, what happens if
we get slimmed? What we you know, how how does
this go down? All those guys are gone now, so
you've got rookies and people that are just loyalists that
have no idea what they're doing militarily. So I think
the United States is at a significant advantage. The thing
is the it appears that the old regime was was

(01:42:26):
telling him that. He said, look, you don't want to
get and you don't want to get messed with the
United States. They're gonna look what they're capable of doing.
Look what they did in Venezuela. Look at what's you know,
we think that we can just you know, mask them
from a principle of war perspective.

Speaker 6 (01:42:39):
But but they're they're not going to stop. They're not.

Speaker 13 (01:42:41):
It would be the same situations starting a Third World
War and you know, shaking the Tiger.

Speaker 6 (01:42:45):
So I think it's just delayed any.

Speaker 13 (01:42:48):
Kind of any kind of military action in Taiwan for
for years now at this point, until they can can
figure out what's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
How much you know, we talk about AI, You and
I talk about AI a lot and stuff, But how
like for us, we are as wide open as it
gets with AI, and I think we you know, I
was talking about it earlier. If you've not seen Claude bought,
it's a little creepy. But the AI obviously so much
of this as well. It's neat for the average person
to be able to chat GBT and do some stuff,

(01:43:14):
and there's going to be benefits there. The reality is
a lot of this is getting to war footings. How
far are they when it comes to AI and they're
military comparatively to ours.

Speaker 13 (01:43:26):
Yeah, so talking, you know, so I'm at the military
academy and talking to cadets and using AI and drones
and things like that.

Speaker 6 (01:43:33):
And here here's the issue.

Speaker 13 (01:43:34):
The point is we are still at a place in
our society and culture where we don't let AI make
decisions that humans still should be making. Right in terms
of weapons systems, you know, Iron Dome is a good
example that Israeli system is all AI. It uses artificial
intelligence to figure out what's it's a good target and
automatically engages that target. Well, you're seeing a lot more

(01:43:57):
of that in China. They turn over a lot of
that decision making to the technology. We still haven't done
that yet in a lot of different things. And that's
that's the push pull conflict I see taking place inside
our military when it comes to using AI. They so
I would say that they're more advanced, but then again,
your greatest strengths your greatest weakness, because if they're going
to rely more on that, then it's going to come

(01:44:20):
back in some ways and and and be a problem
for them. So if a conflict does arise, you might see,
you know, they they have more of that intelligence programmed
in to make those kinds of decisions. But the fact
that we have more flexibility to insert that human element
is probably going to be our advantage. Look, our innovation

(01:44:41):
is still always better anyway. China as a culture is
just a copying culture. They just imitate what we do.
And I think that that our innovation will still always
be advantage and as we'll continue to do that on
the battlefield.

Speaker 2 (01:44:55):

best day military lists in the business. Michel Ie, appreciate

And I love the colors orae, just the courage and
the purpose is peace, and I just had to embrace
the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
I'll see the monks. Peace happening to come up.

Speaker 4 (01:47:18):
We know it's a one time opportunity and we want
to share peace without the world.

Speaker 18 (01:47:21):
That's something I definitely can tell my kids about. I
think students are just excited to be a part of
something that is national, be a part of something that
just in the times that we're in right now, shows
just comfort to each other.

Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
Fun.

They're dressed up because they say it's very cold and
some of the monks aren't feeling great, but they are
not stopping. It's day one oh one. They're heading towards
Ashland today, so keep in mind if you want to
go out there and say hi. They said they're super
excited about all the kids that are coming out to

(01:48:06):
see them, and they're just doing their thing. Gotta love that.
Gotta love that. They say it's going to take one
hundred and twenty days. They left in October from Dallas
Fort Worth and they're marching all the way four piece
to DC where Immigration Barbie will meet them and probably
shoot their dog, Chared. Couldn't you see that happening? Oh God, No,

(01:48:32):
