Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Life is not a zero sum game. I want to
tell you that, especially politics. Oh can certain things be
zero sum? Yes? I mean, you know, look at the election,
right right, Trump either won or he lost. Well, he won,
there you go, she lost, zero sum. But when it
comes to politics, politics, it's not a zero sum game.

(00:34):
And I say that because I deal with the left
and the right. I'm not going to sit here and
sugarcoat it for the people on the left when things
don't look good and right now things don't look good
for you, and on the right, I'm not going to
sit here and blow smoke and tell you if Donald
Trump is doing something that I think is ridiculous, so
you can feel good about who you are because he won.

(00:56):
But we've turned politics into a zero sum game. I
say that because all day I get text messages and
emails from both sides of the aisle. God bless each
and every one of you. Some of you say, look
look at all the stuff they found, Look at how
things are going. It's amazing, it's the greatest thing ever.
We've already won. The other side of the aisle, of
the left side, sends me stuff all day saying, oh,

(01:16):
my god, Look it's over. They've done it all. I'm
resigned to the loss. And what do I tell you, guys?
Every day we'll see. And I say that because there's
a parable called the Chinese farmer. And if you never
heard this parable, it's a perfect example of how we

(01:39):
should actually live our life and our politics rather than
in the moment. And it goes something like this. We
got a wise old farmer and his horse runs away.
The villagers come to me like, dude, sorry, your horse

(02:00):
ran away. It's bad luck for you, and he goes,
we'll see. A week or so later, horse shows up.
He brought back with him several wild horses, and everybody's like, dude,
how cool is that. The farmer's like, eh, we'll see.
Farmer's son tried to tame one of the horses. What happens,

(02:23):
falls off, breaks his arm. Oh. People are like that sucks, dude,
sorry about your kid, and he goes, eh, we'll see.
Then the military shows up, says we need all healthy
young men to come and fight. They look over son's

(02:43):
got a broken arm, and he says, you can't go,
and everybody's like, man, how lucky is that? And he says, eh,
we'll see what it teaches us is while you're react
acting to the immediate, the reality is, we'll see. Could

(03:06):
Donald Trump and the doge and all of this goes
sideways in a heartbeat. It's possible, but that's gonna be
something that will happen over time. Could they actually find
a bunch of stuff that we already know is there,
but uncover more, find some corruption, find a bunch of ways,
and actually put us on a path that's actually pretty

(03:28):
damn good. It's possible, but we won't know until we see.
We want immediate answers and fixes. We want immediate responses
because we live in a knee jerk, reactionary world built

(03:49):
on headlines and not reality. Will this go a great way?
Maybe maybe it won't. Will this end up being the
worst thing ever? Maybe maybe it won't. I can probably

(04:11):
to a person say, it'll be a little gray. Find
some junk, we'll expose some ridiculousness, We'll cut some fat.
People will see the bureaucracy for what it is, and
the courts will decide a lot of the rest. But
to think that you lost or you won based on

(04:36):
headlines and reaction, rather than taking the position of we'll
see is not good. I couldn't go play sports with
you guys. It's score basket in the first minute of
our basketball game like it's over. Or maybe we'll see,
because you have to let it play itself out. Are

(04:59):
people happy right now? I think some people to be
surprised that people are happy with the way things are going.
And those people aren't Republicans, but people who have been
Democrats who outpushed Trump over the line, who got frustrated
with the way things were going.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
You've been speaking with a number of voters who were
Hillary Clinton twenty sixteen, Joe Biden twenty twenty, and then
went for Trump in twenty twenty four. How are these
folks seeing the early days of Trump's second term? Pretty
well really.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
And they're reacting to it because they love the pace
of change. They were very fed up over the last
four years. They wanted action, they wanted results. They looked
at prices, they looked at affordability, looked at immigration, and
they didn't see anything happening. They still don't like what
he says, but they like what he does. And these
are Democrats now, Frank Lunster are there and I like

(05:55):
that now. I don't like a lot of what he says.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
At times. Some of it's hilarious. I'm not gonna lie
to you. Some of it's very trully, and everybody buys
into it because again, reactionary. That being said, I'm an
action guy. So as he sits here and talks about Ukraine,
for instance, we'll get to that in a second. Is
that you guys started it, or you did this, or
you did that. The reaction is, oh my god. But

(06:22):
is there more at work here? We'll see because what
I noticed more and more every single day is people
are more interested in the immediacy and the reaction of
what headline they see or what they hear than the
outcome itself. And that's why I say, everybody relax and

(06:44):
we'll see.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
These are Democrats now who felt that they were not
securing the border, they were doing nothing to prevent illegal immigration,
that nothing was actually happening. They wanted to see a
reduction and waste for Washington spending, and they're seeing that.
So what they tell me is, I wish you'd be
a little bit less rude. But at the same time,
they like what he's doing. They believe he's serious about it,

(07:06):
and for the first time, they have confidence in the future,
which is why you now see some significant shifts in
the polling about the expectations for the direction in the
coming years.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
We'll see. Do I want to see Trump be successful,
petch Candy ass Do I want to see waste and
fraud taken out of Washington? One hundred percent? Do I
think it's going to happen one hundred percent? Probably not,
because I'm a realist. But we'll see, because that's all

(07:42):
we can do in this situation is say, we'll see.
And if you're living in a world where it's not
balls and strikes but wins and losses on every pitch,
that's exhausting.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's a big wake up call for Democrats.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
I'm waiting for them to get a message. I'm waiting
for them to unify and to understand that to oppose
and to be the resistance, which is what some of
them use that phrase. That's not what democrats in grassroots
areas want from them. They may not want the approach
that Trump is doing President Trump, by the way, I
now notice say President Trump, but they do want action

(08:22):
and they don't see action from the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Because the Democrats continually do the wrong thing. We talked
about it last week. They run it stupid faster than
anybody I have seen. They run at the worst idea.
They are a rudderless ship in a ocean that is
not calm, and they continue to go, let's steer deeper

(08:49):
into the ocean and its storm. That's insane. And Frank
Lunz is right. It's not hard to see. I mean
to be honest with you, it's easy to see where
the opening is for the Democrats. And yet the powers

(09:11):
that be continue to pick the wrong fight. They side
with the elitists. They're not populous. Trump's a populace. He's
not a conservative. He looks around the room, go, what's
the most popular idea in here? All right? I get
behind that. We'll add our twist to it. We'll add this,
that and the other to it. He's great at finding
the eighty twenty. What's the eighty twenty out of all

(09:33):
of us here, what do we all agree on? Eighty percent? Boom,
there's my idea. Let's do it. He's great at finding those.
Not everything is that way, but he's great at those.
The Democrats are like, what's what's ninety five percent? The
worst answer we could give fantastic let's do that. This

(09:54):
is even the best of the worst ideas. This is
just the worst of the worst ideas. That's what they choose.
It should be a wake up call, but it's not.
People were frustrated and they spoke. People were angry and
they spoke. But to think that it's a zero sum

(10:16):
game and a wins and a loss, that your team
didn't get over the hump and that Trump is in
there means that somehow you'll never be able to vote again,
and that your team won and somehow you get alauded
over your neighbor because they didn't win and they're not
going to be able to vote is ridiculous. We need

(10:40):
to relax. We need to take away the insanity of
wins and losses on every pitch and say to ourselves,
this could be amazing, we'll see, could be awful, we'll see,
but we've got to let it actually take place before

(11:03):
we make a judgment. And in today's world, we don't
like that. So it's tough for everybody. Go we'll see

Of ice flew off a big rig and slammed into

Speaker 8 (17:37):
Show, Son Chad Benson Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Mental Illness runs wild with Democrats. I threw that headline
out there. The reality is though, Axios leans a little
left publish an article claiming that mental health experts are
seeing a huge increase in patience. Who are Democratic voters
complaining of despair and burnout in the wake of President's

(18:23):
Trump winning election and taking office for a second time. No, yeah,
The article notes, mental health professionals say even people who
don't see themselves as directly affected by the administration's actions
are feeling frazzled by the dizzying pace in Trump's enduring
ability to command attention. Then don't pay attention, Chad. This

(18:44):
is not true. Oh, it's true.

Speaker 9 (18:46):
It is not normal. There is nothing normal about having
to ask yourself every day, is today the day I
need to flee the country? That is literally where I'm
at every day. I'm trying to go about my routine.
I'm trying to get my work done, participate in life. Okay,
s not thinking I go is today the day? Today?
Is today? The day we got to go? What like that?

(19:08):
Is how on edge? I feel so many of us
have to.

Speaker 10 (19:11):
Be right now?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Are you? Are you kidding me? That's how you feel
right now? They may feel it through venting to a spouse.
They're saying the distress of a neighbor with a trans
child or an anxious friend who works for the government
as a contractor. The Peace further states that Andrea Bonor,
a Georgetown University psychology professor, says she's seen an uptick

(19:34):
in patients, particularly Democrats, expressing a sense of burnout, guilt,
and despair at losing an old way of life. Oh
my god, Chad, are you? Are you? Is? This can't
be real?

Speaker 9 (19:47):
And then I see headlines today once again another horror
is unleashed. A plane crash lands in Toronto, and I'm like,
that is not normal. It's nearly every day that we're
hearing a plane crashes now since the man took office,
what is happening?

Speaker 11 (20:03):
And then today how ironic he fires illegally thousands of
people who work for the FAA.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
What are you doing?

Speaker 9 (20:11):
And we don't know anything.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
We don't know.

Speaker 9 (20:14):
We don't know who these people are, where in the country,
what positions did they hold in the FAA or any
of these agencies that are dealing with mass terminations. We
don't know that they were in their positions for a reason,
to keep us safe and alive.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's a mental illness right now that you are struggling with, sir,
you have a mental illness. You need to take a
deep breath. As we said earlier, we will see. But
our way of life is ruined. What was your way
of life that has changed? Honestly, tell me what has
changed for you? Because the narrative on the television, the

(20:50):
same people that tried to freak you out and did
a good job and is failing to capture audience, runs
around screaming and yelling that the world's coming to an end,
that Putin and them are gonna come together and take
everything from you. That soon you'll have to go back

(21:10):
in the closet. Soon, soon you will only be able
to have a quafft combover. All men must be orange.
I mean, this is the the city. I've got to
wake up every day and decide, is this the day
I have to flee the country? Where would I go?

(21:34):
Palm Springs? No, No, that's not it, Chad. I just
think that that maybe they're nuts, is what I think.
I think you have a serious problem and this has
been shown out through time. Though you always talk about
facts of her feelings. Feelings, I mean you should have feelings.

(21:55):
Don't get me wrong, because you don't want to be
a psycho. But if your feelings run everything in your life,
that's a problem. It is which way do you think
this person voted?

Speaker 12 (22:05):
Hey, guys, it's Kelsey. So today I'm wearing my dead
baby dress. You know what kind of baby don't cry
a dead one. But anyways, the reason I'm making this
post is just I've had a lot of people say, well,
your trains, you'll never see a baby, or have a
baby or experience the beautiful joy. Well, you know, I've
been on hormones ten years and I've never wanted a baby.

(22:26):
I don't like kids. I don't have to give birth
to you know, prove that I'm a woman. You know
it's not your business, so you know.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Grow up. You're right, it is none of my business.
And you can't have a child even if you wanted to.
It's just not gonna happen. Just putting that out there.
But the other thing is, why are you telling the
world that it's none of your business? Why are you
taking to them? Trust me? The world knew you could
never have a child. Were you worried that? People think,

(22:56):
Oh my god, why isn't Kelsey having a baby? Were
you worried about that? Was that something sitting on the
top of your head? Oh my lord, we're continuing with
the insanity here on this Wednesday, A little wokesh stuff.
How about conservative women? You know you guys are a
problem too. You guys didn't know that? Yeah, absolutely a problem.

(23:19):
You and your heteronormative stuff and your male, white, cist
gendered husband successful only because he's why.

Speaker 13 (23:29):
Conservative women, by their very nature are pigmies. They use
their white privilege to affix them I'm.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Trying to did she say pigmies because I don't don't.
I don't think they are. They're pigmies, Is that what
she said?

Speaker 13 (23:39):
Conservingive women, by their very nature are pigmies. They use
their white privilege to affix themselves to the white man
who was at the top of race based and gender
based power systems of oppression. They do this by proving
themselves to be the good girl within misogyny that divides
women into good girls and bad girls. They're well behaved
and pretty. They also vote away the rights of everyone

(24:00):
else to maintain the white male oppressor at the top
of the hierarchy, which in turn makes their lives easier.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh okay, trying to figure out what? Wait, what, what's
going on here? So white women are pickmies. That's a
new one for me. And you go and gravitate toward
white successful men who will then do racist things to

(24:29):
become success. Fall along with me or she maybe she's
gonna explain a little bit better.

Speaker 13 (24:33):
Here, But by signing away the rights of everyone around them,
including themselves, they're creating a world in which women cannot
exist dependently from men.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
What do you think about this? All day? I do?
I do. It's what I do when I'm not planning
on leaving the country or fleeing. I've no idea. By
the way, you guys can't exist without us, can't exist
without you. That's kind of the nature thing. I think
we understand that. But I'm not sure where you're going

(25:07):
with any of this. And you and because you voted
for the thing that you believe to be true and
what you wanted to happen, somehow you've taken away everybody
else's rights. Okay, what neither side sees in this situation
is they've got the things that they think work well

(25:30):
for them, and they're not seeing the things that you like,
and vice versa, and how that may have an effect
on you. One more, just with the ele of.

Speaker 14 (25:43):
It, margat manofs are screwed. H Who's gonna do your laundry,
clean your house, make sure the bills are paid? I
mean you may bring home the money, but you know,
the one that makes sure the bills are paid is
to a woman. Who's gonna take care of your kids,
who's going to drive your kids through the school, who's
gonna cook? And tie the presence away from women?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
You better run mental illness right there. Who's gonna take
your kids to school? The woman? Right because we just
took everybody's rights away the women, So now you're our slaves,
is is what I think I'm gathering. I'm I'm not

(26:24):
sure where you're going with that. Good God, Mental illness, folks,
Mental illness three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three Atchad Benson show to your Twitter, your Instagram,

the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 15 (28:18):
If you like doc radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 16 (28:26):
I have been panicking over all this insanity with these plays. Yeah,
you know, and there's all kinds of stuff going on.
So let's start with the string of mass firings by
Elon Musk's dot Doggy Dog Dog Dog DOGI has sparked
a lot of chaos, confusion, and fear because Transportation Secretary

(28:47):
Sean Duffy is defending the firing of four hundred FAA workers,
but former Secretary of People Buddha Judge slam the firings
of employees who control communications rade computer systems. Given all
the confusion, is this really the time to be laying
off folks.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
There's never a good time to lay off people. These
were probationary, so let you guys know. And the way
they make it sound, they elude like, well, you know,
because they laid people off. Stuff's happening. And there were
several people yesterday, including the likes of Pete Bootages, who
over the last couple of days has kind of hinted at, well,
safety's gone to hell, that's why things are happening. You're like,

(29:29):
is that really what we're going to do now? Is
that it It's like a few weeks in stuff happens
off just because of Trump. It's okay, you can't have
a conversation with people we've talked about that. The conversation
world is over anymore, and that is frustrating. Af Let's

(29:49):
turn to something we can all agree on. Cartels are bad, absolutely,
and Trump wants to designate them and will terrorist organizations.
Something that's been happening at the border that's rather interesting
is drones, reaper drones taking a peak on the other
side of the border.

Speaker 17 (30:10):
We're seeing these reaper drones quite literally on the hunt
in international airspace over in Mexico looking for the criminal
drunk cartels and their fetanyl labs. They are ramping up
their operations and combating these criminal organizations, something that the
president of course promises to designate them as a terrorist organization.
So these are called MQ nine Reaper drones, and they're

(30:32):
out there carrying out these stealthy, covert missions and They
are not currently armed, but they can be equipped with
payloads for precision strikes. The CIA, however, has not been
authorized to use these drones to take lethal actions, officials
told The New York Times, adding that they do not
envision using these drones to conduct air strikes, but they could.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
And the cartels have basically said, come on, if you
think you guys are man enough, come on, let's do it.
Throw down. And I'm like, a, it's a different world.
It is. Yes, you guys are brutal and you have
absolutely no fear in causing mass chaos and killing in bunches.

(31:17):
But this technology, along with the training is otherworldly and
they're just taking a peek for now.

Speaker 17 (31:25):
The CIA officers in Mexico are passing information that is
being collected by these drones to Mexican officials. They are
adamant about finding these fentanyl labs dismantling them, which apparently
emit chemicals that make them easier to find from the air,
and that's why they are doing this from the air
with these drones because of that access. Now, the CIA

(31:45):
has reportedly flown surveillance drones to hunt cartels inside Mexico
before partnering with Mexican authorities. But here's the deal with
the more recent flights that were communicated to Congress. They
were actually under the Trump administration using a particular notification
that's for new or updated covert programs that the CIA
intends either to conceal or deny. That is what a

(32:06):
source familiar with the matter said, adding that the notifications
made no mention of Mexican partners this time around.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
So what does that mean? They have no idea what's
going on. We're coming over, we're conducting secret stuff, and
we haven't alerted them.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Reaper.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
It's called reaper for a reason.

Speaker 17 (32:29):
So we talked with Darren god He is a geopolitical strategist,
a US Army veteran, and a former Blackhawk pilot about
the CIA's covert drone missions in Mexico. Take a listen
to what he said.

Speaker 10 (32:39):
For the most part, I do not want to have
see America truants on its own constitution and just invade
a foreign nation without well thought out concept of how
you get there, in having the people of this nation
accept the risk through Congress to do something. Now, I'm
not saying that we would decide to quote in Mexico,

(33:01):
but if you're crossing the border into a foreign country
with the US military forces intent on accomplishing something like that,
that looks a lot like an invasion, and you've just
changed the situation significantly.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Absolutely, there's no doubt about that. If we're going to
do this, America needs to know and Congress needs to
be not only privy to it, they have to be
the one to take the action on this. That's if
this gets done, doesn't mean we may not do some
strategic strikes with strategicy, it's possibility. I'm just pointing out
that there are risk and rewards for all of this,

(33:39):
and how do we go about doing this where we
don't get dragged into something Because I don't think anybody
as he's trying to fix stuff in Ukraine and let's
get rid of, you know, the chaos in the Middle
East and getting dragged into this, Well, this affects us.
It does affect us, There's no doubt about that. But
we have to be smart about this, and in many
cases we are not when it comes to getting into

(34:00):
certain things. But there's no doubt the cartels are dangerous.
They are a terror They're a terrorist organization. I mean
they are the question is how do we handle it.
I think it is time for us to take the
gloves off, but are we ready for what's next? Cause
I think the American people need to know what's coming.
What's next. Yes, we want you to go, and we

(34:23):
want you to be strong at the border and want
you to push back and want you to take on
the cartels, But what exactly does that look like in
your mind? Paint the picture, because there's no doubt fentanyl
is a serious issue, and a lot of that has
to do with the fact that we are a great
market to sell to because we consume a lot of
it and we have a problem. But there's a lot

(34:44):
more to it than just that, and we've got to
come at this in a smart way, a two pronged attack,
if you will. But it is time to get tough
on the border, and not just for the fentanyl. We've
talked about this before. The human trafficking is another issue
because as much as fentanyl is a problem, the money
maker for them for the last several years has been trafficking.

(35:07):
So it's time to get tough. Yes, but let's be
smart about it, not rush in. We'll see. But when
I hear people go well, I don't think we should
do that. No, we needed that. We need to have
a show force that we haven't had before. There is
no doubt we need to treat them in a much
different way that we haven't before. But we've got to

(35:28):
be smart about it, because, as we know, we love
to rush in and then we have trouble getting out.
Mm hm three two three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Twitter, tweet
at us texted program right here in the Chad Benson
Show coming up next hour. That'd be the second hour
of the show to you. If you're not paying any attention,

(35:49):
shame on you. Man. Have we got a story for you.
We talked about it two weeks ago, but now it's
all starting to come to light. They're vegans, sort of
a check against them, trans computer AI, anarchist death cult
and the story that we touched on about a week

(36:11):
or two ago. It's way bigger than I thought. It's
fascinating and also so freaking weird. If you miss any
of the show, shame on you. Grab the podcast. It
is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 15 (36:27):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson show.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
People panicking make me laugh when it comes to stuff
like Paul, I'm not talking about in a real situation
where there's a reason to have panic and worry. I'm
talking about in hypotheticals, in things like politics, because for
the most part, can I just say this, ninety percent
of this, if not more, zero effect on your life,

(37:20):
zero zero effect. Your local congressman and state senator, your
city council person, your mayor, your dog catcher, the people
who run your municipality, your hoa will have a bigger
effect than a vast majority of this stuff. Not that

(37:41):
it won't come into play at some point in time,
but listening to people lose their mind over things. And
this goes back to what we talked about and have
talked about for a while. The left, in particular at
this moment time, on the wrong side of everything, and
I do mean the wrong side. They run it's stupid,
and they run it bad ideas on a daily basis,

(38:03):
and they can't read a room.

Speaker 18 (38:04):
I mean a lot of people are losing their jobs
at some point that you filters through. But to everybody's
point here usaid, although it has tremendous value in our
foreign policy, even our national security, our place in the world.
I don't think it's something that people, hardworking Americans paycheck
to paycheck, see the value in their lives. And I

(38:27):
guess the big question is when do people really feel
what is happening here as President Trump works to sort
of reshape that's I think a kind of way of
putting it.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
The federal government that right there is Mika Bersinski, missus
Joe Scarborough to you. When do Americans realize how important
this is? Never they don't because they think it's stupid,
because they look at all of these things and think
this is ridiculous. None of this stuff. I care about

(39:02):
price of life. I care about paying my bills. I
care about not having to figure out who to call
this week that I can put off for another week
so I can keep my lights on or my water running.
I don't want to go and be that person who

(39:23):
goes to the gas station and everybody's been there who
puts in three dollars and eighty two cents, because that's
all you have. You ever pulled in behind somebody like
that or been that person, You're like, damn, They're not
worried about gender issues in other parts of the world,

(39:43):
they're not. You guys are are are dying on a
hill that is not resonating with the average person in America.
This is Alex Karp. He's a CEO of a very
big corporation that is growing on a daily basis, pallanteer

(40:06):
and a Democrat who sees how this is a dying, silly,
ridiculous issue that you're fighting like.

Speaker 19 (40:19):
I've been a Democrat most of my life. I would
still I kind of few myself as outside it, but
I don't like watching the Democrats just commit suicide at
this point, given the fraud wasting abuse we know is there.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Ninety percent of the country.

Speaker 19 (40:32):
Is like, get rid of that froudwation abuse. I just
view this as yet another example of progressive left boxing
themselves in into a suicide dance boom.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
And they continue to push out ridiculous, insane talking points,
they continue to follow headlines, and you guys are fighting
for something that the average person in America finds ridiculous.
The average person in America looks at this stuff and says,

(41:06):
first of all, and the overall scheme of things and
towards our budget, it's not a lot. But when you're
trying to live your life on a daily basis, and
you find out that they're giving X amount of dollars
to Juatemala or Honduras or Colombia or Peru or Nepal

(41:26):
or wherever for things that are just sound like something
that only ridiculous academics at liberal schools would come up with,
or Hollywood. They think, what a waste, What a freaking waste.

Speaker 19 (41:46):
What the progressive left should be doing is saying, Okay, Elon,
you're clearly the most qualified person in the world to
do something like this. We want a dialogue with you
about how you're doing or what are you doing. I
don't believe that's actually what happened. And again I probably
I like Kilon is obviously the most important builder in
the world, and I just think, if you want to
say my former side, I don't believe that they're actually engaging.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
No, because they don't want to, because to engage with
him would be two things. First, you'd be giving in
to Elon, and right now, Elon is all of the
things that the uber progressive paint as the worst thing
in the world. So you're recognizing him and giving him,

(42:30):
I guess, some sort of credentials which they refuse to
do because his only credentials, as far as they're concerned,
is evil. He's a billionaire's. And the second thing is
they'd also be having to be honest over the fact that, Yeah,
there's a lot of waste, there's a lot of fraud,

(42:50):
there's a lot of abuse, there is a lot of
stuff that is happening and has happened for years in
government that nobody paid attention to, And that while everybody's
making a martyr out of a lot of these people
in these in these agencies, in truth, they were unnecessary,
they were expensive, and they didn't further any agenda outside

(43:15):
of a very small group of people in the United
States who have wacky ideas. I said to somebody the
other day, I'd rather them spend five hundred thousand dollars
on seeing if a duck can juggle, then give five
hundred grand for some opera about a transgender person in
Colombia or a Peruvian transgender comic. Sorry because you don't

(43:40):
like transgender. No, because it's all stupid, including the duck juggling.
We've tried it. It doesn't work. There's two revolutions happening.
One is transparency and one is ai.

Speaker 19 (43:50):
Why is it that we do not know where every
penny of our money goes?

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Like, how do you explain that to people?

Speaker 19 (43:56):
And by the way, slightly more technically, what large Lane
which models do is they mean you can go into
the contracts and see exactly what happened. So in the
past we couldn't do this, now we can. The right
response is we want this to happen. We want to happen,
we want to be involved in the dialogue.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
The real response is.

Speaker 19 (44:14):
It feels like the people criticizing Elon don't want it
to happen, and this is going to destroy those people.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Which means it destroys that party they run. It stupid
the amount of money that has been lost. And I
know everybody's like going o oh. Trump said there was
four hundred and sixty five gazillion people that are over
one hundred and fifty years old, And I don't know
what the real number is. But one thing I do
know is d duplicates exist. What's that you could have

(44:44):
my Social Security card number and I can have You
could be getting paid and I can be getting paid.
They have no head attract that. Oh that adds up.
This is Jose mart on MSNBC no relation to Paul
Blart mall Coon fame talking about a like kind of

(45:07):
tiny study that the Biden administration did, and what I
mean tiny, They like looked over and go all right,
let's see what's going on here, let's count it up
really quick, and we'll just we're not going to do
the whole thing, just a small little area, and then
we'll report back.

Speaker 20 (45:17):
There was an Inspector General audit last year that showed
over an eight year period, the Social Security Administration made
almost seventy two billion dollars in improper payments, a little
less than one percent of payments in that time period. Now,
the report also says that most of these improper payments
were over payments, not payments to decease people or people

(45:41):
who didn't qualify to receive these payments. At the same time, Jose,
this effort by Dose is to go through this agency
like every other and try to weed out waste and fraud.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, I mean, and also seventy two billion, and that's
without a comprehensive search. I mean, that's that's that's significant,
either of you know what to say. He's like, that's
a lot, and that wasn't even there, like we're gonna
take a small piece and we're just gonna do a

(46:13):
quick audit. Why don't know? We know where it's going.
Every day you turn around and you're like, whoa, well,
where'd that go? Where's this? How many trillions of dollars
have been pissed away or disappeared? Magically? It is a
shell game and the messenger the Democrats hate because the

(46:40):
other messenger who brought him on they also hate. But
the message if that the hill you want to die on?
Is that the hill where you want to make your
your stand? No, I like fraud and abuse, I like
wasting money, I like these great programs. Really, ah, is

(47:04):
is that the stand that you want to take? Because
the rest of America is going uh uh new new.
I have a buddy who is a he's a Democrat
like strategist, and he works with state level and federal

(47:28):
level like congressman, senators and stuff and helping plan campaigns, this,
that and the other. And uh he said to me, yeah,
I didn't realize it was this bad. I'm old. Did
you not realize it or you just didn't care? And
he goes probably a bit of both. We bitch about

(47:50):
we want universal healthcare. We should do this, we should
do that. We want more money so we can do this,
and we can do that. But the sounds of it.
We got all kinds of money, but we're not doing
the right thing with it. And why should you get

(48:13):
more if you can't handle what you already have in
a responsible way? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

Speaker 21 (49:53):
Chad Benson Russia, Russia, Russia, President Trump claiming he has
the power to end this war and falsely blaming Ukraine
for Russia's invasion.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
And I think I have the power to end this war,
and I think it's going very well. But today I heard, oh,
we weren't invited. Well, you've been there for three years.
You should have ended it. Three years. You should have
never started it. You could have made a deal.

Speaker 22 (50:16):
This is a major win for the Kremlin after being
isolated from the West diplomatically and financially. Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov already taking a victory lamp, saying, the US
is finally starting to listen to Moscow?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Are they? Or is it just Trump? Because Trump loves Putin?
They love us? Are they? It's weird. I've never seen
somebody who wants to have peace more than Trump. A leader.
I mean, yeah, there's leaders out there, but yeah, I'm
talking about real leaders. I'm not talking about people in
ancillary countries. You guys are just there because we needed
to fill the map. And the pushback is huge, huge,

(50:57):
Well it's because he loves Russia or is it because
he sees the bigger picture? I'm curious. Well, you shouldn't
appease Putin. So the goal is to what endure this forever?
And Europe, where the hell are you just out of curiosity? Well,
we're all worried, Okay, Well, then get more involved for
this thor in relations. It's sending a shiver down the

(51:18):
spine of Europe and above all, Ukraine neither invited to
this meeting. Now European leaders are set together in Paris
for a second day of an emergency summit, the French
Prime Minister saint we're witnessing an unthinkable alliance between Putin
and Trump that's marginalizing Europe on its own soil. Then
get in the game. I mean that's there. You go,

(51:42):
get in the game. You do you we won't worry
about it anymore. You guys can supply Ukraine with everything
they need and go from there. How's that problem solved?
Solve the problem right there, Jed, solve the problem? Well, Chad,
it's not as simple as that. It's it is, in
some ways as simple as that. You need to handle

(52:06):
your business. It's it's that simple. I don't know what
else I think we need to say at this point
in time. I want peace three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter
tweet at as text to program right here on the

(52:28):
Chad Benson Show. I don't want to see anybody die.
But at some point in time you're while you're bitching
at us, then you get off yo ass and do it.
It's that simple. Well, it's not that simple, I think
it is. I think you're making it more complicated because
you can continue to look over and go, well, what
do you think we should do? I think you should

(52:48):
handle your business. Speaking of handling business, asap Rocky was
acquitted of shooting another Asap. By the way, nobody else
is going to go from Russia to Asap like this
kid right here, and yes there were two Asaps. You
guys get that. Hip hop star.

Speaker 23 (53:07):
Asap Rocky was charged in twenty twenty two with two
counts of assault with a semi automatic firearm for allegedly
firing a gun in the direction of Terrell Ephron or Asaprelly.
The gun was never recovered and was a key focal
point in the trial. Asap Rocky did not take the stand,
but Asaprelly testified his hand was grazed by a bullet.

(53:27):
The defense argued the gun in question was actually a
prop gun that asap Rocky carried for security.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Yeah, it's really bizarre because there was really no evidence
whatsoever that asap Rocky, who is the boyfriend Slash Pargner
of Rihanna. By the way, their kids are named Riza
two and Riot one. I love it right just in
case there's a second riot. Mostly peaceful, but there was

(53:57):
no evidence whatsoever like the guy who got shot brought
showcasings from the scene, even though the police had been
there and didn't find any. I mean, that's the kind
of wackiness. And then they kept trying to plead it
down for him. They're like, look, we're in way over ahead,
could you just take some sort of compleat agreement three
two three five, twenty four, twenty three at Chat Benson
shows your Twitter listening to the show the podcast Chad

(54:18):
Benson shown Chad.

Speaker 8 (54:23):
Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
A couple of weeks ago, we did a story about
a bunch of wackadoos that were trans vegan death cult.
I think it was the best way to describe it.
Others have a different way to describe.

Speaker 24 (55:00):
It, transgender homicidal computer nerd vegans.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Wow, thank you very much. Well coming to find out
that whole thing is much worse than we thought.

Speaker 25 (55:18):
Well Today, the alleged leader of that cult, a blogger
known as Zizz, faced a judge in Maryland and was
ordered held without bail. Prosecutors argue that Ziz, whose real
name is jack Lesoda, is a flight risk and is
a danger to public safety. The thirty four year old
from California was arrested on Sunday, and he's accused of
leading an extremist group known as Zizians, and they're tied

(55:41):
to the killings of six different people across the country
dating back more than two years. Two associates of Lysoda's,
thirty two year old Michelle Zako of Pennsylvania and twenty
six year old Daniel Blank of California, were also arrested
with Lysoda, and they will be held in custody as
well with bail. The trio were busted to Maryland by

(56:02):
someone who called police after they noticed a bunch of
people living in white box trucks on private property. And
even that bizarre note hardly scratches the surface.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
She's so right, Like this is crazier every time we
hear something new about this insane group.

Speaker 24 (56:22):
Of transgender homicidal computer nerd vegans.

Speaker 26 (56:26):
Wow, this is the accused leader of a cult like
group known as the Zizians. Jack Lasoda, leader of the
group of brainiac vegan computer scientists linked to the killing
of Border Patrol agent David Miland and five other homicides
in Vermont, Pennsylvania, and California.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Some call it a death cult.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Some call it a vegan cult.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Someone did go to the residence and they were met
by someone at that cabin who was wearing a sword
type weapon. So understand that. First of all, they're vegans,
so that's awful. Secondly, they're literally an apocalyptic anarchist death cult.

(57:14):
Then you throw the trans wackadoo and we'll get to
that into it in a little bit. And there's a
reason it's a wackadoo. Oh so because you don't like
trans people. No, it's because these people are wackado's and
they're LARPing because it's part of being anti establishment nutjobs.
But they've killed the people. Do you understand.

Speaker 24 (57:34):
Transgender homicidal computer nerd vegans.

Speaker 26 (57:37):
Wow NewsNation reviewed court records and the recent arrest of
the cult leader that tell the story of how the
group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists met online and
shared anarchist beliefs, some identifying as transgender. Their violent rampage

(57:58):
started in twenty twenty, which is reported by a local
news outlet Open val Ayo, when police say eighty two
year old Curtis Lynde was stabbed with a sword by
three members of the Zizian cult. He lost an eye,
in the attack and was later allegedly killed by the
cult members who were squatting on his Solano County, California property.
I spoke with one of Lynn's closest friends.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
So originally when this story first came out, we didn't
know this guy had died because they they sword fought.
Remember they want to pay rent, and so they fought
him with a sword and they took out his eyeball
and he managed to hurt a couple of them. But
it was way worse than we thought because they.

Speaker 24 (58:40):
Are transgender, homicidal computer nerd vegans.

Speaker 7 (58:44):
Wow, can you tell me what he said led to
the attack and what happened.

Speaker 27 (58:55):
Basically, what led to it was the idea. I think
that these pans candor homicidal computer scientist vegans thought that
they could get away with not paying him any rent
by killing him.

Speaker 28 (59:14):
And they jumped him and tried to chop.

Speaker 27 (59:18):
Him up and solve them in a tank of live
was their intent.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
So that was their intent. And like I said, they
took out a sigh, but he fought back in the
hole nine yards I mean, this is this is insanity
because this is where it started, and then it spread
out across the nation. Eventually there are several killings that
are attributed to them, and there are more out there
they think they committed.

Speaker 26 (59:40):
The friend says he took these computers from box trucks
on the property that he says the cult members used
for surgeries, and he says he saw scalpels and other
surgical instruments what.

Speaker 28 (59:50):
Looked like the beginning of an operating room. I got
the impression from what I was seeing that they had
been engaging in or were starting to engage in surgery,
you know, like transgender surgery in one.

Speaker 29 (01:00:04):
Of the box trucks.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
That is not what healthy normal people do. You know
who does that?

Speaker 24 (01:00:12):
Transgender homicidal computer? Nerd vegans wow.

Speaker 26 (01:00:22):
After the shooting of the border agent, investigators, sound pistols, ammunition,
night vision goggles, face respirators, a ballistic helmet, shooting range targets,
and radios in the suspects car, a former friend of
one of the suspects says she dropped off the radar
before joining the cult.

Speaker 30 (01:00:39):
It seems like based on what was in the car,
they might have been preparing for some sort of operation
or violence of some form in terms of having bullets
and walkie talkies and wanting not to be observed.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
He is described as a tech genius Jack zizz Lesoda,
who uses the pronouns she her, that matters, uh she her.
They them. That guy is being held on several charges.
According to jail records, the cult had spread out across

(01:01:15):
the country in it included murders and or attempted murders,
on top of other things including resisting or interfering with
an arrest, having a handgun on person, obstruction and and
or hindering, trespassing. These are just the name of few.
Another member, Daniel Blank, was also arrested. He faced charges

(01:01:36):
trespassing a private property, obstructing, and or hindering. The three
have been on the run since twenty twenty three. They
were found by officers in Chester City, Pennsylvania, conducting a
search ward after Zajaco or Zayko's parents, Rita and Richard,
were found shot to death in their home on January second.

(01:01:57):
My goodness me, this is an ugly bunch as ways, well,
can I just say it's it's not a wild bunch,
it's an ugly bunch. And remember they killed or allegedly
shot and killed a David Miland, who was a border
patrol agent a couple of weeks ago. And now that
they are finding out who these people are, they're tracing
back from whence they came as now they're finding family

(01:02:19):
members and or potentially other people that are victims. And
it is it's what we talked about before. How do
you fall into this thing? I mean, now that they've
arrested a whole I mean when we first started talking
about this, they had a couple of them in custody
and we're looking for others. Now they've got a whole
bunch in custody. And remember they're described as rationalist humanist. Wow,

(01:02:44):
if you have a chance, go look look them up
there not a like I said, they are not a
good looking group of folk. How do you get there?
So they have been on the run in California, Pennsylvania,
and yet Maryland, Vermont. And they say they're now looking

(01:03:05):
into another six deaths across the country. Yeah, I know,
probably Democrats. Oh geez, chat Well, I don't even think
they really cared about it. They're an anarchists. They want
to see the destruction of everything so they can live.
And they're vegans, which is worse than anything. Can we
all just admit it. Let's just be honest. They never
shut up about being vegans, and this with the trans

(01:03:26):

What we won't talk about.

Speaker 24 (01:04:39):
Is transgender homicidal computer nerd vegans.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
Wow, that's right, we won't talk about them, but we
will talk about the measles and the weather, a bunch
of other stuff. You mis see the show gra the podcast.

Speaker 15 (01:04:49):
It is the Chad Benson Show, serving up talk radio medium,
rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
It's cold out there, so you know what that means.

Speaker 5 (01:05:13):
Now it's time for the Chad Action news weather reports
when weather weather's we weather the storm.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Oh, we do weather the storm. And it's cold out
there in them hills, valleys and the lone Star state elsewhere.

Speaker 31 (01:05:28):
Comparisons between this cold snap and the one that crashed
the power grid four years ago are inescapable. The difference,
says Governor Greg Abbott, is that in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 28 (01:05:38):
For several days, almost an entire week, the entire state
of Texas was at orbolow freezing.

Speaker 31 (01:05:44):
This freeze will end before the weekend.

Speaker 10 (01:05:46):
So it's not going to be as severe.

Speaker 31 (01:05:47):
Still, the three degrees recorded in the Panhandle city of
Amarillo overnight felt more like minus twenty three when the
bitter north wind was factored in.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Good God, it's cold minus sixty in Bismarck. Are you
getting me minus sixty? Meanwhile, in China, this is great
story of the day. The Chinese attraction promised tourists a
snowy winter wonderland. People showed up found out that winter

(01:06:17):
wonderland in the brochures was actually cotton in bed sheets.
What what wow w w w wa, whoa whoa. The
Shengdu Snow Village project in the Sechuan province famous for

(01:06:37):
its smicy food and pandas not together. Although that'd be weird.
What do you having? Spicy bandit? They sought to lure
tourists over the Lunar New Year holiday with promotional photos
featuring thick layers of snow blanketing. The roofs of log
cabins turned out to be large sheets of cotton and
bed sheets. People were not happy. They said, look, we

(01:07:02):
had to because it's unusually warm. It looks like from
the pictures that they went to one of those Hallmark
Christmas movie sets and then said, come here, that's fantastic,
speaking of cold and Texas and whatnot, Let's stay there
because we have an issue. Those issues, the measles.

Speaker 32 (01:07:24):
There is growing concern about measles spreading fast in this
West Texas community so far, mostly hitting unvaccinated kids in
religious Mennonite communities. This mother and her eight children, some
of whom were coughing and had a fever, got tested
this week at a mobile site in the outbreaks epicenter
Gains County.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
We have a high number of unvaccinated. They just don't
believe in it.

Speaker 32 (01:07:48):
Confirmed cases of measles, one of the most contagious viruses
on the planet, more than doubling here in a single
week from twenty four to forty nine, thirteen kids hospitalized
so far.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Now, I'm going to point something out here. It's not
that they don't believe in vaccines. The Mennonite community as
well as even the Amish, they have nothing against that.
They just don't go to the doctor for anything at all.
And even though the Mennonites are kind of what I
like to call Amish light it's like we're kind we
dress like it, you know, we're LARPing as it. We

(01:08:24):
like the look we do we do, we like the look,
the beard. We're just not into the horse and buggy.
That's kind of really what it is. The Amish generally
reject modern technology, and the Mennonites, well, they like technology
and they drive electric cars and participate a lot more
in society. So when they say, well, they don't get

(01:08:44):
shots because they they don't believe in them. It's not
that they don't go to the doctors for most things,
because that's just what they do. It has nothing against
modern medicine.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
People aren't getting tested.

Speaker 32 (01:09:01):
Health officials on the ground believe the true number of
measles cases is as high as two to three hundred
and already spreading to nearby Lubbock, less than two hours away.
So are people here in Lubbock already being exposed to measles? Yes,
So communities who don't vaccinate are not necessarily isolated to
their area.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
The outbreak comes as Robert F.

Speaker 32 (01:09:22):
Kennedy Junior takes over as head of the Department of
Health and Human Services. During recent Senate testimony, he suggested
a pause on studying infectious diseases like measles.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Oh, oh, so this is his It is his fault,
It's my fault. Settle down. You know he's going to
get blamed for this. Totally is He's been in there
for an hour and a half and they're like, hey,
there's a giant spread of measles in the Mennonite community
in Texas. I believe this is your doing.

Speaker 32 (01:09:52):
The growing outbreak is worrisome to families in Lubbock like
ben Ham and Karina Perez, who's eighteen month old, is vaccinated,
but it has a weak immune system. She was diagnosed
medically fragile that in her first year she got RSV
and was in the ICU.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
A simple cold can land her in the ICU. Absolutely, yes,
it was a simple cold that did land her in
the ICU the last time.

Speaker 32 (01:10:15):
A family on edge in a region at the center
of this fast moving measles outbreak.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
By the way, if you want to know how bad
measles is, it sucks. It's horrible, but the chances of
people dying from measles is very very very very very rare,
especially healthy kits. Doesn't mean we should want to be
plague enthusiast, and we should absolutely figure out how we

(01:10:45):
stopped the spread of this. And before everybody goes, well,
this is his doing over there, that new RFK guy junior, right,
because the shot the first one, probably because he wanted
to get rid of vaccines. You know, he probably wasn't
ring back polio. This is his doing. No, no, it's not.
But for those of you who aren't getting the any

(01:11:07):
kind of vaccine because you feel that your kid's gonna
become magnetic or autistic or whatever, Okay, that's that's a
you thing. It's your choice. I would say it consult
your doctor. I was putting that out there, but to
blame it all on him and say he's looking at this,
so that's why this thing's spreading. He's been in for
less than a week, So let's figure out what happens

(01:11:31):
with these, you know, vaccinations. It's like we were talking
about earlier. It's either it's over or we've won. That's
how everybody looks at things tribally, and that includes stuff
like this. It's like, ah, God, he's gonna get rid
of every vaccine. You're like, he isn't even what what
are you talking about? Or oh, thank God, he's getting
rid of all the vac again. What are you talking about?

(01:11:53):
Stop jumping to conclusions on what will and won't happen.
Just know, if you're going to the men and I
community in parts of Texas, there is a chance if
you're not vaccinated, you may come back with a great
piece of furniture and the measles. Three two, three, five,

(01:12:16):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three Atch Head Benson Show.
It's your Twitter, your Instagram and all of the other
things right here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up
in the third hour of the program, Boil boy. Do
we have some fun for you? Yes, kids, we do
have fun for you, including more on obviously the Doge, Trump, Ukraine,

(01:12:36):
a lot of that stuff we're going to talk about.
We've got a little watch trending as well, because there's
some wacky stuff trending that you need to know about
and we will keep you abreast of that. We've got
some woke stuff. Oh oh yeah, we do baby like
I mean you like nobody does it like weed. We
do it crazy style, from weather to asap Rocky to

(01:12:57):
Ukraine to the measles to all kinds of things. That's
what we do here. If you're missing the show and
you miss out on all that fun stuff, Shane grab
the podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Don't freak out over stuff. I live in a world
of reality, which is scary to a lot of people
because people live in a world of emotion. And sometimes
I'll be honest, it's not always good. Not that I'm
not emotional, because I can be as any human can be,

(01:13:58):
but I don't react act because I'm not like, let's
see how it works out kind of guy. And I
say that because, as we talked about the beginning of
the show, politics is not a zero sum game. And
what that means is there's a winner, there's a loser.
Period Sometimes in politics in particular, there can be winners,

(01:14:19):
winners and losers because some people on both sides of
the aisle are only happy if they get one hundred
percent of something and that includes nothing. But for the
vast majority of the show that I do is for
you guys, the exhausted magilarity, and we're over the zero
sum game. I'm over allowing people this wacky kind of

(01:14:43):
let's hyperbolic, let's scream and yell and throw a fit
kind of vs. It doesn't do anybody any good. I
care about the end product. That's what I care about.
And when I see Doge or any of this stuff
going on with Trump, I see people react as if

(01:15:03):
they won something or react as if they lost something.
And my thing is, we'll see, we'll see. Do you
know how many text messages and emails and direct messages
I've gotten over the last I don't know, thirty days.
You happy? Are you happy?

Speaker 28 (01:15:20):
Chad?

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
This is what you get. It's over.

Speaker 28 (01:15:22):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
What what are you talking about? It's over. What's over,
it's done. Government doesn't exist anymore. Or on the other side,
are you happy We're gonna have no illegal aliens. Everybody's
going home again. No, none of that's real. Stop living
in the world of headlines and let it play itself out,

(01:15:46):
which is hard for government to do and hard for
newspeople and media folks to do. I don't know what's
gonna happen, but we're gonna find out. I don't know
how this is going to play itself out for several reasons.
It's not just he deems it so so it happens,
or he said this is going to happen and then

(01:16:08):
magically it takes place, or don't worry, the courts will
shoot down anything he does, because as we all know,
none of those things are real. We have no idea
what it's going to look like, but nobody cares because
it's all about reaction. And I don't do that very well.

(01:16:31):
I'm forward thinking, I'm pragmatic, and I look at stuff
and go hmm, I don't see how this plays itself out.
At start of the show, I talked about the Chinese
farmer parable. I'll just run through it really quickly, and
it's a parable about a wise old Chinese farmer. And

(01:16:53):
what happens is he's coming home one day and his
horse runs off. Everybody in the village is like, oh
my god, your horse ran away. This is horrible for you,
and he says, we'll see. And then a week goes
by and the horse comes back and he's got a
bunch of other wild horses with him, and the villagers
are like, wow, this is great. You got all these horses. Now,

(01:17:16):
this is great for you, isn't it. And he goes, eh,
we'll see. Then his son tries to break. One of
the horses falls off, breaks his arm, and everybody's like,
that's a tragedy. It's horrible that that's happened to your son.
We feel so sorry for you, and he says, we'll see.
Then the military shows up and they said there's a

(01:17:36):
war and all able bodied young men have to fight,
but he can't because his arm's all broken, and people
are like, wow, that's a blessing he missed out, and
he says, eh, we'll see. And the parable is all
about we don't know what's going to happen because we

(01:17:57):
have to let it play itself out to see, and
we don't do that anymore. We don't and that's sad.
That's very sad because I look at us and I
think we're reacting. We're fighting, we're arguing over stuff that
we have no idea what the outcome is going to be.
And the reactionary side of it from the media in
particular left, is just so crazy and they gin up

(01:18:22):
the crowd and the crowd's like, oh my god, the
world's coming to an end, don't you think that. No,
by the way, I don't think the world's coming to
an end or there's going to be a great awakening
where every dollar now is going to be counted perfectly
by the government, and we're going to trim the fat
and we're going to balance our checkbook because no, I

(01:18:47):
live in a world a reality. But will things get better?
I believe they will, but we'll see. Could things get worse,
It's always a possibility, but we'll see. As far as
right now, how do people feel, oddly enough? For Democrats

(01:19:11):
who voted for Trump, who put him over the herm
pretty happy.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
You've been speaking with a number of voters who were
Hillary Clinton twenty sixteen, Joe Biden twenty twenty, and then
went for Trump in twenty twenty four. How are these
folks seeing the early days of Trump's second term?

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Pretty well?

Speaker 4 (01:19:31):
Really, And they're reacting to it because they loved the
pace of change. They were very fed up over the
last four years. They wanted action, they wanted results. They
looked at prices, they looked at affordability, looked at immigration,
and they didn't see anything happening. They still don't like
what he says, but they like what he does. And
these are Democrats now, and.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
I'm a very big actions person. Most people nowadays don't
care about the They don't care about the result. They
care about the hyperbolic nature which things are said, and
then the reaction to that, But they don't care about
anything else, which is all I care about. You then screaming,

(01:20:18):
yell all you want, But if the screaming and yelling
doesn't match the action that it doesn't matter. If you
tell me the world's coming to an end, you tell
me this is a coup, You tell me all of
the things, and then all of a sudden we look
up and we found a way to cut more than
a half a trillion dollars to bring down our deficit

(01:20:40):
and debt a little bit when it comes to trade,
and actually are our service of the debt that we have,
and and and we get out some of these wars.
They really don't care what he tweets and says, because
I care about the the the actual action. But for
a lot of people it's it's not about that. There's
an old saying in sales, you sell the sizzle, right,

(01:21:04):
but you buy the steak. Well, in today's world, people
only care about disizzle, and they never even stick around
long enough to find out the stakes any good.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
These are democrats now who felt that they were not
securing the border, they were doing nothing to prevent illegal immigration,
that nothing was actually happening. They wanted to see a
reduction a waste for Washington spending, and they're seeing that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
So what they tell me is, I wish you would
be a little bit less rude.

Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
But at the same time, they like what he's doing.
They believe he's serious about it, and for the first time,
they have confidence in the future, which is why you
now see some significant shifts in the polling about the
expectations for the direction in the coming years.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
Which is phenomenal. But again we'll see because one thing
I do know about us as a nation is we
are a fickle bunch. How many times have we seen
a party have the House, the Senate, and the presidency,
and even if things are okay, we're like, they got

(01:22:05):
a little bit too much power, and they pull it
back a little bit and they give some of the
power back to the group that's not in power, whether
it's the Democrats or Republicans. The one thing that's different
about this is the Democrats, as usual are choosing the
wrong hill to die on and continuing to push insanity,

(01:22:30):
wokeness and waste and fraud in some cases based on
a lot of this stuff, especially with the doge as
the thing that Americans want, and they're choosing the wrong hill.
There's plenty of hills to die on. There's plenty of
ways to go forth and to spread a new message

(01:22:53):
that would resonate with people. But you continue to go
back to the same horse and you hit it over
and over again. They try to tell you it's dead
and the stick isn't magic.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
That's a big wake up call for Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
I'm waiting for them to get a message.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
I'm waiting for them to unify and to understand that
to oppose and to be the resistance, which is what
some of them use that phrase. That's not what democrats
in grassroots areas want from them. They may not want
the approach that Trump is doing President Trump, by the way,
I now know to say President Trump, but they do

(01:23:29):
want action and they don't see action from the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
Nope, it is not hard. I've explained it to you.
Trump is great at eighty twenties. Scott Jennings brought that
up a couple of weeks ago. He finds the subject
any issue, whatever it is, that a vast majority of
Americans agree with like, dudes shouldn't play in girls' sports.

(01:23:55):
Vast majority of Americans agree with that. That's a winning issue.
What did the Democrats do? They double down on stupidity.
He's a populist, not a conservative. Mag is a movement,
not a moment. If they don't figure out what to do,

(01:24:18):
their moment may be over. Three two, three, five, three eight,

No, No, we ain't given no hoot, I boomed over.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
No vote, what is your name as a group the click.

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
Click or click click, let's do that right. There is
Delta Airlines unmanned airplane celebration that is flying around the
interwaps right now now, I am not a big conspiracy theorist.

(01:32:16):
I am not. But we always joke about Di I, right,
Like DI I sounds great if you're working in an office,
but if it's a brain surgeon, a pilot something like that,
you're like, nope, I want the best. I don't care
what color. I don't care if they're purple, I don't care.
I do not care. But isn't it weird we know

(01:32:37):
who the pilots are? Still my wife? When when Sully
landed the plane on the Hudson, by the time the
thing came to a stop, the media was around him.
He's doing interviews. This plane in Toronto flipped over. Everybody
got out, and nobody knows a lot. We've got a

(01:32:58):
lot of video from the messengers, not much else.

Speaker 35 (01:33:02):
The black boxes have now been recovered. That's going to
give investigators some key information there. But without a doubt,
the fact that you can actually talk to these pilots
because they also survive, that's going to be key as well,
because they'll be able to tell investigators what they felt
inside that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Play, well they felt the thud I would assume. Now,
like I say, I am no conspiracy theorist. I have
no idea, what the hell happen? Zero zilch nod. But
what I will tell you is the more that you

(01:33:38):
hide things from people, the more that you don't want
to tell people what actually happened because it might make
somebody look bad or a group look bad, the worse
it becomes some of the comments I'm seeing. I don't
know if Delta would actually release their identities, considering that

(01:34:00):
everyone survived, but you never know. I'm really just nervous
about the names and identities of people involved with tragedies
moving forward. The reason why I'm nervous is it's because
it's either one of the pilots happen to be a woman, queerer,
person of color, then the right is just going to
start shouting DEEI hire and then claim the particular pilots

(01:34:21):
or both are one hundred percent responsible for the crash.
I don't know what happened in the crash, None of
us do. But when you hide things from people, people
get curious. They do, and people are asking the question
about this because days after this thing happened in Toronto,

(01:34:44):
Delta's double triple, quadruple down on all of this stuff,
and people do get nervous. Especially right now, because if
we're honest, family guy got it right, but nobody wants
to be honest about it. Wow, this place is cool.

Speaker 29 (01:35:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
What are all these buttons? Do? Like? What's this red one?
That's a voice filter?

Speaker 9 (01:35:06):
So the passengers always think the pilot is a sixty
year old Midwestern white man.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
What that's impossible? Hi, y'all, this is Cleveland.

Speaker 29 (01:35:14):
Good afternoon, folks. This is Captain Dale Clark up here
on the flight deck.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
We're way up in the air.

Speaker 29 (01:35:20):
We've reached our cruising altitude of thirty seven thousand feet.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
Y'all get ready to watch Big Mama's House.

Speaker 29 (01:35:26):
Our inflying entertainment today will be under the Tuscan sun.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Oh. I like that? Well here, it's good. That's not
very nice, it's true. Just like we like to know
that the people that we're flying with who are pilots,
would you rather they went to a trade school or
that they were in the military learned how to fly?
There makes you feel better, doesn't it? Well, of course
it does. Is this the best in the world? Exactly?

(01:35:53):
But I do find it curious, and it's not from
I have no idea what happened. I saw it boom,
and hit the ground. Why it came down that way,
why the wings flew off, why it flipped upside down,
all of that stuff, I have zero idea why. I'm
just saying from the perspective of when you try to

(01:36:13):
hide things, or you don't want a narrative out there,
or you want to hide the name of somebody or this,
that and the other for whatever thing that has happened,
what ends up happening is it becomes far worse because
it looks like you're hiding something, which then makes everybody
go see, see, see, see what's going on.

Speaker 35 (01:36:35):
At least twenty one people injured, including a child who
was taken to the hospital. Patients treated for various injuries,
including backs, brains, head injuries, and nausea, but miraculously, all
seventy six passengers and four crew members survived, which.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Is the best thing. And if you are hiding something
because you don't want a narrative out there, instead of
coming out there going look, our pilots were amazing, they
were great. Things were going sideways. They still managed to
keep everybody alive, and it was upside down. But when
you double down and then you don't tell anybody what's

(01:37:10):
going on. Then all of a sudden it starts to
run wild. And as we know, we're reactionary society. We
don't care about the reality of it. The sizzle matters
more than anything else. And you've got videos of your
pilot's gone, hey girl, what's up?

Speaker 14 (01:37:24):
Girl?

Speaker 33 (01:37:25):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
You know that's it doesn't look good. That's what I'm
trying to tell you kids, Just giving you a little
bit of advice from your uncle Chad right here. That's it,
just a little bit of advice from you uncle Chad.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweet at us text
the program. I love hearing from all of you. We

(01:37:47):
move from anxiety in the sky to anxiety at the
doctor's office. No, not that doctor, the head doctor, shrink, psychologist, psychiatrist.
Folks should talk to therapy folk. Axios published something that

(01:38:08):
says democrats losing their freaking mind, having a mental breakdown.
I'm surmising it and having to go to seek professional help.
Then I thought, there's no way that's true. But lo
and behold, and this is Axios, by the way, not
a super right wing conservative. This is a new York Post, Okay, Breitbart,

(01:38:30):
Daily Caller, Wire Daily Daily. I don't even know what's
out there anymore. This isn't Fox News, this is Axios
saying yeah, they're struggling and they're having to go seek therapy.
And I'm like, ah, that's probably that's probably true. It
is not normal.

Speaker 9 (01:38:48):
There is nothing normal about having to ask yourself every
day is today the day I need to flee the country?
That is literally where I'm at every day. I'm trying
to go about my routine. I'm trying to get my
work done, participate in life. Okay, star, thinking I go
is today the day? Today?

Speaker 1 (01:39:06):
Is today the day we gotta go?

Speaker 28 (01:39:08):
What like that?

Speaker 9 (01:39:09):
Is how on edge? I feel so many of us
have to be right now.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
Really And you feel that way, yeah, because you told
that every single day by the Hair on Fire media
that Elon Musk has taken over everything. It's a coup.
He's stolen everything. They're running everything inside of a special
room where they go inside and.

Speaker 34 (01:39:33):
It's like a boys club and they're just stealing your
soul and you're taking everything and you can't stop it,
and you one day you may be having to, you know,
hide right in your car in the garage.

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
So the Trump musk police don't take you away. And
the next day you think everything's okay. Next thing you know,
out of the bushes comes a net and drag it's
you away. No, that's not true. You think it though,
because in your mind you're thinking the worst of the
worst of the worst, and it's all based on politics. Man,

(01:40:10):
you need to get a life.

Speaker 9 (01:40:12):
And then I see headlines today once again another horror
is unleash have plane crash lands in Toronto, And I'm like,
that is not normal. It's nearly every day that we're
hearing a plane crash. Is now since the man took office?
What is happening?

Speaker 11 (01:40:27):
And then today how ironic he fires illegally thousands of
people who work for the FAA.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
What are you doing?

Speaker 9 (01:40:36):
And we don't know anything. We don't know. We don't
know who these people are, where in the country, What
positions did they hold in the FAA or any of
these agencies that are dealing with mass terminations. We don't
know that they were in their positions for a reason
to keep us safe and alive.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Can I just say this little side note? So we
started with the whole DEI in santit the delta. Both
sides are kind of hilarious in this. So the rights,
Oh my god, it's d I's two chicks fly to play.
They drove it straight to the ground. They can't even
drive their cars rectly.

Speaker 28 (01:41:15):
D I.

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
They've picked up worst because they had were women or
people of color or whatever equity. And then on the
other side you've got the left going. They got rid
of the most important person, the only person that could
help land in that plane in Toronto safely. They got
rid of them, and drop and Musk fired him and
be like it's in Canada for cunscs. All of you

(01:41:36):
need to take up a new hobby. That's all I'm saying.

Job sashtag me too, hashtag immigration reform, hashtag help.

Speaker 15 (01:44:01):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the chat Benson Show.

Speaker 31 (01:44:06):
Cuban Marcus has occupied a full city block in downtown
Dallas since nineteen fourteen. It's welcomed royalty and hosted fashion
shows over the decades, and.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
It's all brought to you buy none other than Neiman Market.

Speaker 31 (01:44:17):
Beyond that, says former buyer Kate Sheldon.

Speaker 1 (01:44:20):
This is Texas history, This is retail history.

Speaker 31 (01:44:22):
Stanley Marcus demanded that his store be desegregated even before
it was the law. After closing, the flagship parent company
Sacks Global, plans to pump millions into the Neeman Marcus
store at a shopping center a few miles north of downtown.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
But it's not the same, kids, because that was the flagship.
That was the place, That was the place. See where
I'm going with this was the place, and now they're
moving it, just like KFC is getting out of Kentucky.
What that's right, they're getting out of Kentucky. They are
leaving Kentucky. So they're just gonna be FC. That's right,

(01:44:57):
They're just gonna be fried chicken. People are upset about that.
Sometimes things change. I mean, how many of you were
surprised to even realize there were retail stores? This was
news to me. Oh, it's not very nice, Chad. Plenty
of retail stores are coming back, by the way, they are.
As much as we like shopping online and I do.

(01:45:19):
I'm a convenience kind of guy, and one of those guys.
This is the kind of person I am. If I
can take decisions out of my hand really fast that
I don't have to make later on, I do it.
I lay my clothes out the night before. Why it's
a decision I don't have to make in the morning.
Where I'm standing in front of the closet cold. I

(01:45:39):
don't even know what toyer. I just pick it out
the night before. I have it laid out, ready to roll,
get up, shower, go, bam, done. And it's weird because
if you listen to the show, you guys know I
love to go shopping at the holiday times because I
like to get out and about and be amongst the
hustle and muscle. But for the most part, I was
surprised to find out that Neiman Marcus a was still around,

(01:46:00):
that there were retail stores. But the youngsters are bringing
it back. You know what else the youngsters are doing
which is fascinating study and I'm talking about the Alphas.
They're going dry wait what, turning off their WiFi for
hours at a time.

Speaker 5 (01:46:19):
I know, right.

Speaker 2 (01:46:22):
Crazy, But they're trying to not do what gen Z
and the millennials have done, which is living insanity because
they get sucked up in the world of the Internet.
But I find that to be fascinating and in fact,
I read a really interesting article yesterday e Seek.

Speaker 33 (01:46:38):
We love to do this.

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
I mean, everybody else is doing a bunch of crap
about it. We're doing fun stuff. We're giving you things
that matter in your life, baby, that's what we do.
But this was very interesting. So this article said, and
it was a study that was done about turning off
or going dry as I call it, your WiFi and

(01:47:00):
just having a phone be the phone, texting or whatever.
But they say blocking the Internet on your mobile phone
can lead to mental health improvements with an effect size
larger than typically seen in things like antidepressants. Well, you
know who's gonna prescribe this, right, Yeah, I'm gonna come

(01:47:23):
out and tell everybody no more red dye or Wi Fi.
But what it does is it's improving sustained attention, comparable
to reversing the age of your brain if you will,
about ten years. And here's the big thing, well being boom.
Ninety one percent of participants said their well being had improved. Well,

(01:47:48):
why is that Internet access allows us to kind of
just do our own thing. Participants naturally spend more time socializing,
person exercising, and being outdoors, which helped with people's well being,
which is incredible something to think about out there. And
that's why a younger generation, I think is trying to do.
They look around, they see the gen zers and stuff

(01:48:10):
and say, I kind of want what they had right
a little bit of freedom, which parents, you have to
allow them to have. But a lot of that freedom
came with the fact that we weren't tethered to something,
which for a lot of people out there is a
tough thing because we're not only tethered to devices, we've
become tethered to people, in particular our kids. But if
you could improve your well being for two weeks taking

(01:48:31):
this challenge and seeing that, how would you and why
would you even want to go back to the other thing?
I mean, that's a tough thing. And if I I'll
say this, if I didn't have to do so much
work all day, I don't know if I would be
on even have a regular phone outside of texting and

(01:48:52):
some phone calls, which is new to the kids as well.
I don't even know if I would do it. It's
that easy and simple. I love not being tethered to
that thing. Three two, three, five, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your Twitter tweet at
a text the program? Are you in the Chad Benson Show?
That was a fun show today flew by. That's what
I'm trying to tell you, guys, is so much more

(01:49:14):
out there than the crazy politics. And if we could
take a moment and say to ourselves, you know what,
before I overreact to something, maybe let's just see what
this looks like. So when people are freaking out about
Doge or whatever it is that the latest thing is
that we have to freak out about, maybe we sit
back and go, you know what, let's just see how
this thing plays itself out because it could surprise us

(01:49:35):
or maybe awful. But worrying about it being awful and
then it not coming true is not good for you.
Just the thought out there. You guys, have a blessed
rest of your day. We will do it again Tomorrow's
always like that, Chet.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
Th
