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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It is the economy, the economy, the economy. I will
tell you this, and I've told you this all along,
all of the rest of the stuff while it is news,
and it is a feather, if you will, in the
cap of any administration when they do something, If the

(00:34):
economy isn't rocking and rolling, you're in trouble. And right now, uncertainty,
uncomfortable times.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
That are going on with the battle of.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
The tariffs, even Trump admitting there's a chance there's a
chance that we're going to go to some sort of recession,
a pullback. The times may be a little tougher, but
it's going to get better.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Ap Morgan Chase now puts the odds of a recession
this year at forty percent, up from thirty percent. I
spoke with Mark Zandi, he's the chief economist over at Moody's.
He said at the beginning of the year he had
a fifteen percent odds of a recession this year. It's
now thirty five percent. If Trump implements these tariffs and
leaves them in place for the next few months.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's the economy. As goes the economy, so goes your presidency.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
And one thing I know about the American public is
we're not to patient folk.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
We're not batchya.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Angar Sargon was on Fox over the weekend talking about
the great things that Trump is doing in the economy
and talking about how the Republicans are now the working
class party and how great this is all going to be.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Donald Trump has done an amazing thing. He turned the
GOP into the party of the working class, and working
class voters love tariffs because they make.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Their labor more rewarding for them.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
They get the American working class higher wages, which they
can then use in the marketplace to compete against elites
and to actually achieve the American dream. President Trump is
teaching a generation of Republicans and business leaders how to
build an amazing economy that will lift all boats, that

(02:42):
will lift working class people as well as the stock market,
and that will give the GOP a ruling majority for
years and years to come. An economy based on love
of country that will make America into the powerhouse of
manufacturing the superpower that.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
It used to be. And I cannot get over.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Are the hootspah of these business leaders sitting there whining
about their quarterly reports while President Trump teaches them how
to build an economy based on love of country and
love of your neighbor. We should be listening and watching
and saying thank you, rather than whining and moaning.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Ooh, that's not the answer the American public was hoping
to hear. While all of that may be true, you
know what else is absolutely true. Our patients, we have
very little of it. Hell, we can't get through a
TikTok that's ninety seconds. We just not on what the
hell the end of the TikTok's all about. All of

(03:45):
that stuff sounds great. We're gonna bring back manufacturing. We're
gonna we're gonna have that union jobs. The middle class
is gonna be stronger than ever, the working class is
gonna be just rocking and rolling.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And all of it does down great.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
But we decided a while ago that we like cheap goods,
and because of that, we became a consumer based nation,
not a manufacturer.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Based nation. Because again, we like cheap goods.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
The consumer has been the pillar of this economy, continuing
to spend despite it all, high inflation, higher interest rates.
If that starts to pull back and the job market
starts to weaken, and some economists are saying, because of
Trump's policies on deportation and the government layoffs, we could
see a big pullback in the job market, and that's
when the economy may pull back enough to dip us

(04:45):
into a recession.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Now do I think that we're going to have a recession? Yeah,
By the way, Trump will be president. Probably have a
little bit of a recession. We'll get out of it.
Things will be good. And then in five or six
or seven years after Trump is gone, there'll be another
president and that person will go through recession. Because it's
kind of like a hurricane they come, that happens, like

(05:12):
an earthquake, they come, it happens. You don't have the
rocking and rolling the economy forever. That's how you deal
with it. But we consume we are not a nation
that wants to wait a decade or two to rebuild manufacturing.

(05:34):
We are not that kind of nation.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
And while everybody says, look how much better these jobs
are going to be. That's great, all that's great, But
are you willing to wait a decade for that to happen? Well, no,
I'm not, no, of course not, of course not. Now,
over time we can build back some of it. But
we're always going to be a price oriented society. We're

(06:00):
always going to be stock them deep and sell them cheap.
And that isn't going to change anytime soon. As goes
the economy, so goes your presidency. Now, I said there
was going to be transition, much like a new football
coach comes in, Right, you got a time. You got
to implement your coach. You got to implement your game plan,

(06:22):
You got to bring in the players that fit the scheme.
Right now, you're working with what you got. This isn't
an overnight situation here, Mike Johnson.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
I believe that the policies that we're putting forth are
going to improve the.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Economy and bring down costs for people.

Speaker 8 (06:34):
It takes a little while. We're in a transition period.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
And that's what's going on. We're in a transition period.
But how long do people stick with you during the
transition period? People, as long as you're forward and honest
about what you're trying to do, people are going to
stick with you for a while. Now, there comes a
point in time, And I talked to a bunch of
people over the weekend as I traveled and was at

(06:59):
a wedding, and and I was talking to several people
about the economy, because you know, I wasn't going to
enjoy my sister's wedding, but people'd rather talk to me
about politics. But as I was talking to some of them,
some of them were my family. So I'm like, all right,
I'll give you a pass. I said, Look, I think

(07:19):
people will stick.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Around a little bit longer than they normally would.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
But do I think that Trump is going to get
a year or two to rebuild the economy in a
way that he thinks is going to lead to certain things.

Speaker 9 (07:32):
No.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
And it's not because I don't think it's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's just because I recognize people and people are impatient.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
We're already a fickle bunch.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
We You know, how many times do we talk about
the fact that once one party gets power, and I'm
talking about you got the House, you got the Senate,
and you've got the presidency, we get a little nervous
and we decide maybe it's a little but too much.
That's already our fickleness coming in. Now you multiply that
by a potential recession and a market that is coming down,

(08:13):
people start to get nervous and then they react to that.
So it is about the economy and will always be
about the economy. I did a video last night. I
had so many people say, yeah, I really don't care
what happens around the rest of the globe. As long
as the economy's good, we're good. And a lot of
people feel that way. They want to see something happen

(08:37):
because they feel like our money's going places and is
being wasted and they would rather stay here.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Totally understand that, but.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's still about us first, because you care about your
world and I care about my world.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Howard Ludne, Commerce Secretary.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Do you acknowledge that prices will go up for consumers
because of these terror I.

Speaker 10 (09:00):
Think it's important for people to realize that we run
two trillion dollar deficits and Donald Trump is going to
try to balance the budget of the United States America.
And when you bounce the budget of the United States America,
you drive interest rates down one hundred and fifty basis
points one and a half percent, you're gonna have mortgages
come smashing down, the cost of your home will come

(09:21):
smashing down. The We're gonna drill, baby, drill, and drive
down the price of energy that's coming down. So these
two massive moves are gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Massive all sounds great. If it works out, we're gonna
have so much money, says Trump.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
All I know is is.

Speaker 11 (09:38):
We're gonna take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs,
and we're gonna become so rich.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
You're not gonna know where to spend all that money.
I'm telling you, you just watch. We're gonna have jobs.
We're gonna have open factories. It's gonna be great.

Speaker 11 (09:50):
And to play it is landing, and we gotta thank
you for a lot of good questions.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
You're welcome back to Howard. And you know it's gonna
pay for that.

Speaker 10 (09:58):
Tariffs and outside country than who just leech off of us,
lean on us, earn money off of us. They've got
to start to pay. I want President Trump wants the
American people to start to understand the external revenue service.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Should start to pay.

Speaker 10 (10:13):
Yes, some products that are made foreign might be more expensive,
but American products will get cheaper. And that's the point.
By American made by great Americans. We're going to bring
manufacturing back. That's where we're going. That's where this president
is going bring it back?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Do I think it's going to come back if we're
patient and we can wait. Yeah, But answer me this,
Are you willing to wait? Are you patient? Probably not.
It all sounds great, it's a long term plan that
sounds awesome, But I know this about America and Americans

(10:55):
any humans in general, we're not patient anymore.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
So will there be distortions?

Speaker 10 (11:01):
Of course, foreign goods may get a little more expensive,
but American goods are going to get cheaper, and you're
going to be helping Americans by buying American.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
All good and you should do as much as you
can if you can find someplace you can buy American goods.
That's if you can afford it. And that's a big
if for a lot of people because we're still a
consumer based nation. Until we become that manufacturing based nation,
we're still going to be price motivated. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 3 (12:56):
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Chad Benson, I've said.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
From the outset of Doge, the battle that's going to
come from this is going to be massive because bureaucracy
of DC is okay, is the number one lobbyist of
the government itself, meaning all of these unions, all of
these people, they have got the old establishment media behind them.

(13:35):
They have made Elon out to be, you know, the
Nazi invading as the president of the United States, and
it's the next person to take over, Sir Donald Trump,
because he, of course is the furo.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
And I've said that.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
In taking this thing on, at what point do you
realize you're running up against something that is so massive,
that is so huge, This machine is so big that
to get the things done that you want to get
done maybe virtually impossible. I was listening to him yesterday,

(14:16):
you know, first talking about the cyber attack against x
slash Twitter follow along at Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
There was a cyber attack on x today which shut
it down and may have been foreign sourced. It's a
big story. You want to give us a moment on that.

Speaker 12 (14:32):
Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was
a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the
X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Now I'm not quite sure that's I would find it
hard to believe that the Ukrainians would make it so
easy to find out if they're going to destroy X
based on the fact that it's part of what they
see as the evil of the Trump administration against their cause,
that they would make it that simple. But you know,

(15:05):
we'll see that being said. I want you to listen
to Elon here. Tell me if you don't think he
sounds exhausted and frustrated.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
You're giving up your other stuff? I mean, how are
you running your other businesses with very difficulty? Yeah, I
mean that there's no turning back.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
You're saying, I'm.

Speaker 12 (15:29):
Just here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate waste
and fraward, and so far we're making good progress.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter tweet at his text
the program right here on the Chad.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Benson show, he's exhausted and he's feeling it. I'm sure
from the board.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Would they lose thirty billion yesterday over there at Tesla?

Speaker 3 (16:00):
This is an uphill battle. Government loves government.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm not saying he's given up, but i will tell
you that sounded like a man that was exhausted.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Son Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I am a big free speech guy. You guys know that.
And there is a situation going on on college campuses.
We know what's happening Palestine. A lot of outside agitators.
The way that many Jewish students have felt, and not
only felt, but were actually persecuted, chased, threatened is ridiculous

(18:30):
and college I look at you, guys, and I blame
you guys. I blame you guys for allowing stuff to
go on that would go on with no other group,
right you you take out the Jewish student and you
put lgbt Q plus ia whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Boom, those kids were tossed out on their ass.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
You take out that and and Black Lives Matter and
you say that they're persecuted.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Boom, you're out on your ass.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
So why did they allow this to happen, to go on,
to get to a point of insanity where you had
outside agitators. They're taking over hauls, they're throwing a fit.
I mean, we already know that colleges are anything but
the free speech bastions.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
They used to be. They're not.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
They're quite the opposite at this point in time, which
is scary. That being said, So, Mahmood Khalil has been arrested.
And if you don't know who he is, not following
his story Columbia grad students. And the story has changed

(19:44):
over the last couple of days because like anything, it's
all the facts have to come in somewhat. We don't
know what all the facts are. Yesterday he was just
a student visa holder. Then you find out later on
last night. Actually, he's a permanent resident who's got a
green cart, married to a woman here and.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Nobody knows where he's at. Been arrested, and nobody knows
where he's at.

Speaker 13 (20:14):
As a Columbia University graduate student, Khalil helped lead pro
Palestinian protest. Federal agents arrested Khalil Saturday. He's currently being
helped at attention facility in Louisiana. The Fed say Khalil
was detained in support of President Trump's executive orders prohibiting
anti Semitism and because he led activities aligned to hamas
a designated terrorist organization. His lawyers call Khalil's arrest open

(20:36):
repression of student activism and political speech.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Now, I look at this in a lot of different ways.
Do I think that if you are advocating for violence
against the Jews that you should be out on your
ass and absolutely, but you are in this country allowed

(21:04):
due process. Now, I'd like to see the evidence of
where he advocated for violence against the Jews. He is
apparently very anti America, anti West, you know, the usual
liberal nonsense you find on college campuses. But you are

(21:27):
due the process, especially when you're a Green card holder,
A permanent residence. You're not a visa student holder where
it's just easier to go get your ass out here,
and that's what a lot of people are going. Well,
hold on a second, this guy's a student visa holder,
should get his ass out of here. Marco Rubio has
already talked about it. Doesn't have the power to toss
him out.

Speaker 14 (21:45):
Does Marco Rubio have the power to revoke a person's
green card or legal status?

Speaker 15 (21:52):
So under the immigration laws, there are extreme circumstances where
someone's status can be reconsidered if they are alive with,
for example, a terrorist organization or an organization that's been
designated a terrorist organization. It is not the case here
that mister Khalil that there's any evidence that he is
aligned with a terrorist organization or as part of a

(22:12):
terrorist organization.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
So this sort of goes.

Speaker 15 (22:13):
Back to the question of due process, like, yes, statuses
can be revoked, but typically when that happens, there's an
entire legal process that has followed. And what is surprising here,
alarming even, is that this is essentially the kind of
strong man move that you've seen in other places where
democracy has literally crumbled, places like Pinochet's Chile and things

(22:37):
of that nature. This is not typically what we see
in the United States, even in circumstances where we've had
individuals whose statuses have been reconsidered and revoked.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Like I said, if you are here at a visa
and you're a guest of the United States and you're
advocating violence against the Jews and all this kind of
you know, against anyone that's on you, this I have
issues with because I want to do process. I want

(23:07):
to see. Columbia kicked him out and then they said
they found no evidence of any of the stuff that
people were saying. Now that might be there, but we
all want due process right.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
And this is the thing.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
And I'm a big free speech If he doesn't do
this on campus, I don't.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Think this is a big deal.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
If he does this on the streets of New York,
this isn't as big of a deal. Now he's advocating
for the overthrowing of the United States.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Look again, we're a free speech society. We are.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
If he's advocating violence, if he's doing those are questions
that yes, you have to bring him to court. You
have to show that this guy did do those things.
And they very well may do that, but he's not
being charged with anything.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
They say he's in Louisiana, but.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
His lawyer and his wife late, we have no idea
where he's at because he was just gone like that.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
And then of course the battle of free speech not
free speech? Is it right? Is it not right?

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Lonely Scott and a Navarro and the rest of the
peeps at CNN.

Speaker 16 (24:22):
Finish, But before you move on, because I think that's
a really important point, right, that's the statute that they're using.
Have you seen any evidence to suggest that there is
actually a serious reason to believe that this student is
going to be a threat to national security?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
And I've certainly watched the abomination that's.

Speaker 17 (24:41):
Gone on at Columbia and in another place, and I
will just tell you, and I'll just tell.

Speaker 16 (24:45):
You that it was not going to let you move
on because this is Yeah.

Speaker 18 (24:48):
I'll tell you why it's a threat of national security.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
If you let me answer you, scot you wotan to
answer you.

Speaker 9 (24:53):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
His organization says we are dedicated fighting for the total
eradication of Western civilization.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
He's not a citizen. That's not grounds for tossing him out.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
That is it did he say again, I want to prove,
and there may be a ton of things that lead
to this guy being tossed out, and that's fine, but.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
We should all want proof.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
We don't want people to be essentially told by the President, hey,
get this person out of here because of it's a
good look, the optics are great.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I don't want that. I don't think you want that.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
And by the way, if it's overthrown, because already a
judge said sorry, you can't do that. If this thing
is eventually litigated and they find out to be nothing
other than he was used as a scapegoat, that doesn't
look good either.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
These college campus insane wackad do things that have happened
over the last several years, even before Palestine, with people
going to give speeches and the threats there. All of
that is an embarrassment. But I blame the college for
those things. I blame the colleges for allowing those things

(26:13):
to happen. I blame the colleges who have indoctrinated these
kids with this insanity of you. If you hear anything
that's on the conservative side, it's evil. These sit ins
and giving these kids the opportunity to sit down at
the table and essentially bargain stuff that they have no
rights doing.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
That's all on the colleges and they needed to take action.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
But I'm talking about speech as a whole, and what
I find.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
To be abhorrent.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I would never take away from somebody again, unless you're
advocating violence. And if you're saying I want the Jews
all killed and you're threatening, that's a different story. But
you've got to prove it, and we want due process
in this country.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
We need due process in this country.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
He doesn't have just a student visa which changes this,
and he's not been charged. This is going to be interesting, indeed,
And I'm sure I pissed some people off and say, oh,
you're anti American, you sound like a liberal. No, what
I am is somebody who loves speech, free speech, somebody

(27:26):
who wants to protect the speech of individuals and people,
and somebody who looks and says, I want there to
be due process and people do have the opportunity to
defend themselves and not be made a scapegoat three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at us text the program. Let me

(27:47):
know what you think. I love hearing from all of you.
Raycon best earbuds around. Love my Raycon told you guys,
I was traveling the other day. I never charged my
earbuds even used to me yesterday and I still haven't
charged him. I was on four different planes, flew all over,
had him on during the weekend when I was doing
certain things.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
It was incredible.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
If you're like me and you love great sound, Raycon
delivers that and then some. The every day earbuds have
eight hours of talk time, thirty two hours of battery life,
the best fit, the best feel. They are absolutely incredible.
And I'm telling you this active noise cancelation saw on
a couple of those flights. I was tired. I didn't
want to hear the engines or anything else that was

(28:27):
going on. Put on my active noise cancelation.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Who why it is can be? They're awesome.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
If you want best sound quality, if you want multi connectivity,
fast charging, the every day earbuds deliver that and then
some go to buy Raycon dot Com slash Chad now
to save twenty percent thirty day happiness guarantee. Buy Raycon
dot Com slash Chad coming up. Locknest Monster. There's a
job for you if you want it. Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 19 (29:06):
Hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped
in a hashtag factory and I can't get out the
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (29:15):
There's a mystery that hasn't been solved yet, but could
there be something lurking in that there lock.

Speaker 21 (29:27):
Beneath the murky waters of the legendary Scottish Lock lurks
a mystery and this week perhaps a new clue.

Speaker 22 (29:34):
We think it's the first potential site of twenty twenty five.
Is absolutely fantastic. It really looks like something is like
under bulgeon from underneath the water.

Speaker 21 (29:45):
A new picture has surfaced showing what appeared to be
a large dark mass beneath the calm, still waters of
the lock. According to the official Lock Nest Center.

Speaker 22 (29:54):
I just think it shows us that there's possibilities that
the search is not over, that there's still well every
We're still carrying out research and surface wa wash on
the waters.

Speaker 21 (30:04):
In fact, the center is now looking for a new
full time monster hunter, an adventurous skipper. The ad says
for the deep scanned vessel to keep the search alive.
The job joins a long line of NeSSI hunters over
the last century.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
All right, that sounds like quite a gig.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
So they're looking for somebody to hunt, but not kill, right,
because that's always the thing.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
It sounds like a good idea.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
We're gonna go hunting, but it's a hunting in a
different way to view, to capture footage, to bring back
evidence that there is indeed something lurking beneath the waters
of the lock, not shoot it, which many people are.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Let's capture it by killing it. That way we can
solve the mystery. Well, that's no fun.

Speaker 21 (30:50):
Since the early nineteen thirties, there have been more than
a thousand recorded sightings of some kind of creature dwelling
in lock Ness, so of thice.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Come out of the world. It was like a torpedo
going through the water.

Speaker 21 (31:02):
Nowadays there's a live stream of the lock, but researchers
have deployed all tools, imaginable submarines, sonar, and last summer
flew drones overhead. For decades, the leading theory was that
NeSSI was a plesiosaur, a dinosaur who had somehow survived,
but scientists have tested the water for DNA.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Let's get down to it them. Is there a plesiosaur
un lockless?

Speaker 21 (31:26):
No, but they did find evidence of eel DNA.

Speaker 23 (31:31):
It's plausible that there might be one that they or
two they grow to extreme size.

Speaker 21 (31:36):
Plausible, sure, but no photograph has ever proven.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
That definite fig A definite fig.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
It's a figure out there now, that's very plausible. The
question is how big could an eel get if an
eel had the opportunity to get you enormous, Well, that's
the funny thing. Freshwater eels don't get particularly huge. This
would be some sort of freak eel. Like it's a

(32:05):
freak eel. Now, if you guys know anything about goldfish,
there are a goldfish. Whether they just catch a goldfish
it was like sixty pounds, like Ponio gone crazy, Prue,
there's no way goldfish. Goldfish will grow and grow and
grow and grow. Normally they just die, but they will

(32:27):
continue to grow and given the opportunity. Is that true
for Neil? I don't know, But is it a possibility.
I think that's more of a possibility. As much as
I wanted to be a pleasasaur, it's probably more of
a possibility. That's some sort of giant eel that has
grown to well an unusual size.

Speaker 21 (32:44):
Most snaps of NeSSI, and there have been a lot,
have been debunked, but the myth survives well.

Speaker 23 (32:51):
He toured a nice bit of fiberglass behind his boot,
but this is the famous one. What people think, no,
is that it's actually this little thing. It's a submarine
with a plastician monster's head on top of it.

Speaker 21 (33:02):
Experts and researchers will now analyze this week's newest sighting
looking for any evidence that NeSSI lives on.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
I hope.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
So it's great, right, you want to keep the mystery going.
There's definitely something in there.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Somebody said it's there really a sixty pound goldfish. That's
according to the French, and we can't believe anything. According
to the French, the largest goldfish ever was caught by
a British angler.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
His name is Andy Rickett. It's forty two.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
He spent twenty five minutes reeling it in into France.
Weighed sixty seven pounds four ounces. But they get massive,
so could an eel do the same thing. That's a possibility.
There's a giant goldfish just caught recently where lake Erie.
If you haven't seen it, it is massive. Uh, because

(33:52):
goldfish can grow to be huge, so could that happen
with an eel? That is always a possibility. Now the
question is would you like this gear? And what does
it pay?

Speaker 1 (34:01):
It's a good gig.

Speaker 24 (34:02):
I'm looking at the ad right now, Craig, and I
quote a successful candidate will spend their days searching for
the legendary nessy. You have to be an experienced skipper
and key a passionate storyteller. It pays about two hundred
and thirty bucks a day and you get to spend
the day on the water.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Not a bad gig, not a bad gig at all.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
And you gotta be a great storyteller because the whole
thing is it's part of the tourism thing, and it's
telling and weaving in the stories of what it is
you're looking for?

Speaker 3 (34:29):
What have you seen?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Talk about the history? And I've been to Lockness it's
much younger. I was a much younger lad when I
went to Locknest. And I will tell you this. Locks
are very deep.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
If you don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's why maybe a please a sorta can hide down there.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
How deep is it?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Chad Well I'll tell you now, it's very deep. In fact,
it's about are you ready for this? At the deepest
point two hundred and thirty meters there is about seven
hundred and fifty feet below.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Holy moly. Plus it's dark.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Very dark, barely see anything even when you're just standing
in it.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
You can see your feet.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Oh, lock Ness second deepest, by the way, lock of
all and.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Scoling luck more are is deeper.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
But nobody cares because they don't got a giant, huge
nest monster in there.

Speaker 25 (35:27):
Do that?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
No?

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Please? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Here three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter tweet at
his text the program right here in the Chad Benson Show,
coming up our number two more on the economy. Got
a lot of stuff on Ukraine and Israel, which again

(35:50):
all of these things are going on global nightmare that
is happening when it comes to battles and wars, and
maybe we'll even talk about some other stuff that's happening
that is just as violent and deadly, including what's going
on in Syria that isn't being talked about as much
as it should be.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
And what can we or will we do?

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Which is I think a very interesting question as well
a bunch of other things to get to. If you're
miss any of the show, we always say, shame on,
make sure you grant the podcast. It is the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

(36:53):
How patient will you be as Trump rebuilds the economy?

Speaker 2 (37:00):
We could talk about all the other stuff, right, free
speech we talked about last hour. I got a lot
of tax we'll talk about that a little bit. Lockneest Monster,
always fun Ukraine, talk about here Israel, immigration, all of
these things. We can talk about, all of these things
to doge liberals loosing their mind. All of these things

(37:25):
we can talk about. But it's still about the economy.
Your life is based in your needs, your wants, what
you can afford, what you can afford. That puts stress
on you, take stress off you. It's the economy. James
Carville hit it out the park long time ago and
he said, it's the economy stupid. Well, it's the economy stupid, stupid.

(37:48):
If you don't think it's the economy stupid, it absolutely is.
And while Trump is trying to rebuild the economy, he's
trying to bring manufacturing back. He's trying to make America
strong again. And this country there was once this great
bastion of building everything and just pushing it out to
the world saying look at this, guess what we export

(38:08):
ideas Now we import cheap goods.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
That's the reality.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
And people can sit there and say, well, you know,
I mean I want there to be a great manufactur
of course you do.

Speaker 13 (38:22):
We all do.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
I would love for us to have this great, thriving
manufacturing industry going again Detroit to b what it once was.
We're making cars, We're doing all those things. That sounds awesome.
It ain't gonna happen in the time though, that people want.
Because the one thing I do know about Americans and

(38:46):
human beings is we are very much impatient. And because
of that, we may say that sounds great as long
as it doesn't affect me in the account to me
right now getting worse, because if it makes me any
more uncomfortable, that's an issue. And why it's an issue
is Trump's not running again. But you know what is happening,

(39:08):
there will be a midterm. Trump won't be held accountable
in the way that the Republicans will at the ballot
box and if they're held accountable there, Trump will spend
the last two years fending off god knows what. And
that's something he doesn't want to do. That's something I
don't want to see done. And I understand what he's

(39:28):
trying to do, but what he's trying to do also
has an expiration date when it comes to patients and people.

Speaker 26 (39:35):
President Trump is a acknowledge that there's going to be
a little disturbance due to his economic policies. How bad
is this disturbance going to be? And how long is
it going to last? Donald Trump walked in with a
crappy economy. The number of full time jobs been dropping.
They've almost the entire Biden administration.

Speaker 27 (39:50):
This is a lot of work. Now manufacturing jobs are
coming back. I had not been happening to under Biden.
That's a big deal. The number one thing is we
got to get American manufacturing back into this country. So
I'm very optimistic that we're going to get this done.

Speaker 13 (40:01):
Now.

Speaker 27 (40:02):
Is it work to balance a budget?

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, it's work.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
It is work.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Balancing the budget right, bringing more money in here on tariffs.
But while you're sitting there going well, hold on a second,
you're balancing the budget on me having to pay more
money for stuff. I'm not sure I like that because
my job isn't quite catching up to what's going on
when it comes to inflation and essentially the tariff tax,

(40:31):
that's going to kick everybody in the grundle.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
I'm not trying to be negative. I'm being honest.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
This is and this is why Trump has to be
out in front of it all the time, talking about
the fact that, hey, look, this is a long term play.
Some people think, as I always say, micro and macro.
I'm thinking macro, I'm thinking long term. But you and
I both know most people don't think long term. Most

(40:58):
people think momentary. Why because they're just trying to keep
their head above water.

Speaker 26 (41:02):
Center, Rick Scott, your constituents that are living paycheck to paycheck,
how long is this disturbance going to land?

Speaker 27 (41:07):
The disturbance is the twenty percent inflation under Biden, the
fact there's no full time jobs, so it's already changing.
We're already adding full time jobs. You've already added ten
I think ten thousand manufacturing jobs just last month. I'm
not very optimistic it's going to happen very quickly.

Speaker 28 (41:20):
Okay.

Speaker 26 (41:21):
I mean inflation was high, but it was not twenty percent.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Well that's.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Not twenty percent the way that people think that every
good was up twenty percent. But you and I both
know one hundred dollars of groceries when Trump was in
office was one hundred and twenty or thirty. Because when
you start, it's a compound. When you start adding four
percent here, five percent there, six percent there, Eventually that
adds up and you're like, oh my god, so was

(41:49):
a bar of soap at one time.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
I'm just going to use it. You know, two dollars?
Was it two forty? Probably not, It might have been
two ten. I don't know what a bar soap cost.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
But when you add up that and then something else,
and then something else will low and behold, it was ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
We all recognize that how long can people wait?

Speaker 2 (42:16):
That's a question that I think a lot of people
are asking themselves because they're willing to give Trump the chance,
as they should, as am I. But I also recognize
we don't even like waiting in line behind.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Two or three people at a store.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
We can't wait to get to the end of the
TikTok to find out what's going on and it's sixty
freaking seconds. So do I think we have the patience
for all the other stuff? Maybe not so much.

Speaker 29 (42:55):
Do you think we're headed for a recession?

Speaker 30 (42:57):
We're real possibility of it. I would have shed a
couple months ago that a recession was really unlikely this year.
Now it's probably not fifty to fifty, but it's getting
close to our fifty to fifty. And there's one central reasons,
which is that we've had economic policies that have been

(43:20):
completely counterproductive. All of this emphasis on tariffs and all
of the ambiguity and uncertainty created about tariffs.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
And there is some uncertainty because it's been you know,
as they've even described it, it's whiplash. One minute is
this one Minute's that it's going this direction, it's going
that direction. We're doing it today, but then we're not
going to do it. We're going to do it on
some stuff and we're not going to do it, And
a vast majority of stuff there are no tariffs. And
when it comes to the fentyl thing in Canada again,

(43:51):
I go back to less than one percent, which is
still ridiculous because ventanyl is a nightmare. But we have
a consumption problem. Again, we're a consumer based nation and
that includes drugs. I understand Mexico and why we're doing that,
but there is a domino effect.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
You put it on us over years we ignored it.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Now we're going to put it on you, and we're
going to put it on them, and then they're going
to put it on you, and then they may put
it on us. Because this is what's happening. And if
you're willing to go to the met there's no doubt
America can easily take on a trade war and a terarf.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
But are we as a nation willing to do that.

Speaker 31 (44:37):
All of this emphasis on tariffs has ironically both chilled
demand businesses not in vast made consumers think they should
hold off before making big spending commitments. And usually when
you do something like that, prices go down. But this time,
when people are worried they're not going to be able
to get supplies in the future, or not be able

(44:59):
to get supplied without paying big care, prices actually go up.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Larry Summer's right there, kind of knows what he's talking about.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Smart guy chatterre you saying the economy is going to
be destroyed. I'm not saying that what I'm saying is
as human beings, our human nature is we want something,
We want it now. My child's the same way she
wants it. She wants to now, Hey, you can get this,
but you're gonna have to wait a week, or you
can get this which isn't as good, but it'll come tomorrow.
I want what comes tomorrow. And that's just us across

(45:29):
the board, all of us. I don't want to wait.
I don't want to wait. I don't want to wait.
Waiting may be better, but it's harder. But are we
willing to do that? How long are people willing to
wait for the economy to turn around? If indeed there

(45:52):
is a trade war and a tear for if it
means that we get ourselves, we balance a budget, we
actually start to do things where money is flowing in
in a way that we haven't seen for a while.
Even though goods may go up, but if people start
to lose their jobs with more expensive goods, you watch
what happens.

Speaker 31 (46:11):
Cars and houses have been taraffed, pushing up their price.
So we're getting the worst of both worlds. More concerns
about inflation and more concerns about economic downturn and more
uncertainty about the future, which just slows everything down. This

(46:32):
is pretty much a self inflicted wound.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
And it's used as a negotiating tool for a lot
of different reasons, not just about whether or not we're
going to bring money in, but also can we get
other countries to do things we need them to do
when it comes to geopolitical situations, not just about money,
but for us it's out today, it's about surviving. Jake Tapper,

(47:02):
what about people to live paycheck to paycheck? Who voted
for Trump? What about that? Well, that's a great question.
What about people that live paycheck to paycheck? Some people,
like I said, if you're with them and you show
them why you're doing this, that's great. But if you
start to see jobs start to go away, and you

(47:25):
start to see inflation rise and wages not keep up
with that, that's when the issues come in.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
It's about the economy.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
I want my president, no matter who they are, to succeed,
and if you don't, you're an ass hat and you're
not very patriotic. At the same time, I recognize there's
a limit to what people can withstand. Because that limit

(47:59):
comes in bank account and we all know, much like
our patients.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
For many people, it is how should we say this?
Wearing thin?

Speaker 2 (48:14):

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
For all the talk of all of the stuff, there's
other things going on out therese that's supposed to me.
I'm still talking about Ukraine, obviously to Israel. Let's start
first and foremost in Saudi Arabia, having nothing to do
with Israel and Hamas, but all to do with Ukraine
and Russia.

Speaker 32 (50:09):
Members of President Zelenski's top team are meeting with US
officials in the Saudi Arabian city Jetta. Ukraine is hoping
they can get the Trump administration back on side. The
Ukrainians will propose a mutual pause on long range strikes
from the air and see Russia so far has not
signaled support for that. Trump administration officials have also said

(50:30):
the talks could influence whether the US restores intelligence sharing
and military aid to Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Which is what they desperately need, especially the intelligence side
of stuff. It's gonna get there. What does it look
like when it gets there.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Apparently Zelenski sent a letter of apology to Trump and
we'll see what it looks like. I have no idea
what this looks like in the end. I mean, there's
a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of
moving parts all over the place. If you blink for

(51:06):
a second, something new has happened, if you blink for
a second with this administration, because they're doing everything they can,
and I mean they're stretching thin when you think about it,
that's the amount of stuff that they're trying to do,
from the DOGE to Ukraine, to the economy, to Israel. Yeah,

(51:28):
that's right, Israel. That thing's still going on as well.
We forget about Israel and Hamas because there's so many
other things going on.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Today.

Speaker 28 (51:35):
Negotiations were zooming between all the parties in Cutter but
those negotiations are being overshadowed by those side talks that
the Trump administration was having directly with Hamas.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
And this breaks a massive taboo.

Speaker 28 (51:48):
Never before has any US administration ever spoken directly to Hamas.
We understand Israel was not happy about.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
It, probably not, but Israel.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
I mean again, this is something that people keep asking me,
which one do you think is gonna end? First, I said, well,
the one in the one in the Middle East, Israel
and everything that's never gonna end. I don't care what
kind of ceasefire you think you're gonna get until they
have it a complete different way. They approach this by prosperity,
You're going to continue to have fighting three two, three, five,

(52:20):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Shows,
your Twitter, tweet ATS text program right here on the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
That's the way this thing's gonna.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Go forever and ever and ever, because that's the way
this thing is always gone. One group will always look
at another group and say you have something that we
don't have, and it's based on the fact that you
try to destroy us and keep us basically starving. And
I can be open and honest and look at Israel

(52:53):
and say, I get why you do what you do,
but you've not got the results long term that you want.
So what's the next step, Because you're losing support here
in America when it comes to the public. You're losing
support here in a place that has supported you forever
when it comes to Palestine and the question of what

(53:19):
happens with Palestine because people now look over there and say,
all right, well, this is enough, let's sort this out.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
I think we're war weary. I think we're exhausted.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
I think we have had this conversation a gazillion times.
And I'm a person that can stand back and say
you're not going to get a result that you want
if your answer is Pommel, Pommel, Pummel. Yes, you've got
to defeat Amass, but you're not going to defeat Amas
by killing tons of people who in turn will have

(53:53):
relatives that become new Hamas fighters. So you have to
change what you've done outside the box. And that also
goes for the people in Palestine. What are you going
to do when it comes to standing up to Hamas
and saying we want prosperity.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Not endless wars. You're missing any show, the podcast Chat Benson.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
Show, then Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:40):

Speaker 2 (54:43):
I rarely talk about continuing resolutions because I think they're stupid.
I think the government doesn't do its job. I think
they kick the can down the road. I think it's
ridiculous in the way that they handle stuff. The reality
is the government may shut down on the fourteenth, and

(55:04):
Republicans don't want to look like they're the ones who
are in trouble because they have the House, they have
the Senate, they have the Presidency. Of course it would
be on them, and so they're doing everything they can
and Trump is doing everything they can to push forward
getting something done so the government doesn't shut down.

Speaker 29 (55:20):
Well, that deadline is fast approaching, just March fourteenth, to
avoid a government shut down, and this is how Speaker
Mike Johnson's potential solution. He is laying out a stopgap
measure known as a continuing resolution that would fund the
government through September thirtieth, and it does have President Trump's support.

(55:40):
In fact, he went to social media after Johnson revealed
that text to say, quote, the House and Senate have
put together under the circumstances a very good funding bill.
All Republicans should vote in parentheses, please in all caps yes,
next week.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Yeah, he needs something done. Trump doesn't want to be
the one that shuts the government down. I am look
how many times when the Democrats were in control of everything,
where Republicans are like, let's shut the government down and
see what happens.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Let's do it. Let's see what happens. This is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
The margin is slim, but how much is in there
that really needs to be cut? Are you guys doing something?
I will say there are some cuts in there. We'll
talk about that in a second. But I understand not
wanting to be the people that shut the government down
because they're always trying to blame each other. The reality
is this should have been done a long time ago.

(56:36):
All you do is continuing resolutions. You never ever pass
a budget ever. You just kick it down the curve,
kick it down the road, kick to the curve, kick
it down the road, kick it to the wall, kick.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
It across the street. That's all you do.

Speaker 29 (56:49):
And Republicans are hoping that that's enough to get their
party on board. But Johnson leads with a very slim
majority of the House and House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries
has all said that he doesn't think Democrats will be
on board. He's instead calling for a more long term
negotiated bill and warning Johnson that Republicans may need to

(57:10):
do this on their own.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Well, of course you're gonna have to do on their own.
Welcome to modern politics. And there is a holdout Thomas Massey.
We'll get to him in a second. But the reality
you don't want to be the one holding the bag.
Yet you always say, hey, I want the government to
shut down. We'll sho everybody. We don't need the government.

(57:33):
Now it's your chance. Imagine what Elon could do. We
could run hogwild fire people that aren't even there. That
being said, we need to get something done. We need
to cut and is there a reduction in this Yes,
there is.

Speaker 17 (57:47):
I counted, and you have voted against at least thirty
eight different federal budget resolutions and your time on the hill.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Why would you vote yes.

Speaker 7 (57:54):
Now there's actual cuts in there the first time.

Speaker 17 (57:57):
It has nothing to do with the fact that if
you vote no, it could shut the govern.

Speaker 7 (58:00):
I've voted to shut We've shut the government down multiple times, and.

Speaker 17 (58:04):
But the margin is smaller this time, and if you
know right now there's one hard no vote Thomas Massey.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
I don't know of any definite nos.

Speaker 17 (58:11):
So, so why would you vote yes this time if
typically you vote against something like that.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
Because this is the first time since I've been in
Congress that we've decreased the size of government.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Yes, Now, as far as the spending goes, it would
reduce spending by seven billion, that's it.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
Reduce it.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Uh, mandatory spending programs that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid
are not affected by the c R because those are
things that are mandatory. So, and he mentioned Thomas Massey.
Thomas Massey has been a absolute let's get something done,
Let's do it the right way. This has been a

(58:53):
guy who's always been know on things like this. He's
that kind of guy. How do you think Trump react?
President Trump last out Rep. Massy saying yes he should
be primaried and pledging to lead the charge against him.
He likened him to Rep. Liz Cheney. He said, Congressman
Thomas Massey, beautiful Kentucky is an automatic no vote on

(59:15):
just about everything, despite the fact that he's always voted
for continuing resolutions in the past. He should be primaried,
and I will lead the charge against him. He's just
another grandstander who's too much trouble and not worth the fight.
He reminds me of Liz Cheney before her historic record
breaking fall loss. The people of Kentucky won't stand for it.

(59:35):
Just watch. Do I have any takers? All cap question mark?
The thing I find interesting about this is if you
go and you look, and he's trending in everything, and
we'll get to what's trending next hour. But the amount
of support that he has, the amount of you've got

(59:55):
the Maga people that are out there. If you say anything,
you know, they lead the charge in the cult. I
hear from you guys all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Yeah. Whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
The amount of support though, of even people who and
by the way, Thomas Massey for those who not keeping score,
is one of Trump's biggest supporters. But if you ask
a majority of people in Congress, lobbyists and stuff, people
who are like he's one of those people like, yeah,
that guy's probably like the realist deal you're gonna find here.

(01:00:24):
And there's not a lot of those people out there.
And there's a lot of even influencers in the MAGA
world or like now, I support Thomas on this one.
So we'll see, we'll see what happens. It's very interesting,
there has no doubt about that. A little battle on
the inside when it comes to yes, everybody, the continuing resolution,

(01:00:45):
don't dang. We move on from there to something that
really matters, ultra processed food.

Speaker 33 (01:00:52):
There are studies coming out of Stanford and Harvard that
show a lot of mental illness, including anxiety and depression,
are related to food, and that your diet food is medicine.
By changing your diet, you can lose some of those diagnoses.
And you know this, Sean is a uniquely American problem.
This is not happening like it is here other elsewhere
in the world. And my oncle's present, three percent of

(01:01:14):
Americans were obese. It's now close to eighty percent of adults,
fifty percent of children, but in Japan it's still three percent.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
Yeah, I mean, we have a massive problem when it
comes to food in this country, There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
But it's also the consumption. I go back to this
over and over again.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
It's not just because it's in front of you doesn't
mean you have to eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
And that is our issue. It's consumption.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
You could have all of the worst food, but if you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Don't eat, it doesn't matter. You could pause.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
That's a hell out of something. But we can't stop ourselves.
Trust me, I'm one of those. I have an issue
like don't it's very processed.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
But very yummy.

Speaker 33 (01:02:01):
And this extraordinary explosion, the epidemic we have of chronic disease.
My uncle was president. Three percent of Americans at chronic disease.
Today is sixty percent. We have sixty six percent of
adults are diabetic or pre diabetic, thirty eight percent of teens.
When you and I were a kids, the average pedia
tradition would see one case of juvenile diabetes in his
lifetime or a forty or fifty year career. Today, one

(01:02:24):
out of every three kids who walks with his office
stories I have are pre diabetic.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
I watched yesterday. I watched, I posted it last night.
I'm like, before the Chosen, there was Highway to Heaven.
So I'm watching Highway to Heaven and they're a bunch
of kids playing on the playground behind. Not one of
the kids was fat, and they're all outside playing, not.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
One of them was. I mean, it is absolutely true.
We are.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
And it's not just by the way I ate some
crap when I was a kid as well. It's also
activity that helps. But the ultra process food, I told
my wife after this weekend, I got to eat better,
right like and I and it sucks. Let's be real,
the person of us said, I don't care about ozembic
and I don't care about any of that stuff. If
you can find a human being that can make a

(01:03:15):
donut taste good and be healthy, that'll be the richest
person in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Because so much of the ultra process.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Food so good comparatively to like it's a keen wis
salad and blah blah blah blah. You know when it
tastes good when I drop twelve gallons of ranch on it.

Speaker 33 (01:03:35):
Oh, we spend three times two to three times on
healthcare what other countries do, and we have the worst outcomes.
And it's not and we have the best medical system
in the world. We are poisoning ourselves and it's coming from,
you know, principally, these ultra process foods. And what we're
trying to do and is President Trump wants has to
have radical transparency and to incentivize his companies to switch

(01:03:58):
to to traditional ingredients like a beef towel.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
I mean, you know, you can argue with them about
the vaccines and a lot of stuff that's coming out,
But the health side of it of getting our asses
not to be so fat was the study the other day.
By twenty fifty half the planet will be fatties, obese,
not just pleasant plumpers, not just nutritional overachievers, but people

(01:04:31):
of size.

Speaker 33 (01:04:32):
This generation of our kids is the first generation in
two hundred years that is going to have a shorter
life span than their parents.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
It's scary.

Speaker 33 (01:04:40):
We are, you know, we are letting down these kids.
And there is a moral issue here and we need
to start grappling with it. Because it's a moral issue,
it's a financial issue of the healthcare costs are going
to think us. And the only way that we're going
to solve it is by changing what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
We eat, which is again easier said than done, because
we like convenience, and yeah, we like taste and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Not not everything is it is good for you. Taste
really good.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
And I know that food's not supposed to be about taste,
supposed to be about getting the nutrits you want.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Well, you know what damn it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
I like a little taste three two, three, five, three,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your
Twitter tweet at me and texta program And you guys know,
I eat like a seven year old. I'm trying, though,
I'm trying to eat like an eleven year old. But
give me a break. Okay, it's baby steps. Kids, don't
take baby steps with what's going on in the marketplace.

(01:05:42):
Fears of a recession, fears of climbing inflation, fears of
a dropping dollar, just fears about a lot of stuff.

(01:06:46):
Deep States.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Not deep doo doo. Yeah, the chat Benson shows.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
If you haven't seen the video, it is crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
It is a track meet and this has nothing to
do with girls versus boys, and boys versus girls, men
versus women and vice versa. No, no, no, no, this
is a girls track meet. It's high school and it's
a relay race. So they give you the baton and
apparently this girl thought it was a weapon.

Speaker 34 (01:07:19):
This is a crazy video that you have to see.
It's unimaginable, unsportsmanlike conduct on the track this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
A high school track star. It's still recovering.

Speaker 34 (01:07:26):
Nearly a week after being hit on the head by
another runner during a race, junior Kaylin Tucker was running
the second leg of the four x two hundred relay
in the Virginia State High School League Championships when the
shocking incident happened.

Speaker 11 (01:07:39):
That's when she hit me with the batar.

Speaker 25 (01:07:42):
Watch again as you see the two sprinters running side
by side as they round the corner, with Kaylin on
the outside, Kaylin's mother cheering her on. Just as Kaylan
is passing the other runner, the athlete swings her baton,
striking Kaylan.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Is the big on my head and then I fell
off the check immediately.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Yeah you did.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
You got thumped, and I mean it was a thumpin'.
And of course, you know, one video comes out, just
a regular video you see and you're like, oh my god,
what happened. And then once people realize something happened, five
hundred videos come out of people.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Filming their kids running and just the race in general.
And then you can really see what happens.

Speaker 25 (01:08:26):
Kaylan dropping her baton and reaching for her head the
whole colisee.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
I'm pretty much gassed.

Speaker 35 (01:08:32):
I just jumped up out of the leitches immediately and
ran to her on the main floor.

Speaker 25 (01:08:36):
The sixteen year old was later diagnosed with a concussion.
The family says neither the athlete who struck Kaylan nor
the other team's coaches checked on Caitlin or reached out
afterwards to.

Speaker 35 (01:08:47):
See that they kept running and she not stop and
check on my daughter.

Speaker 16 (01:08:51):
That was the part I was like, it couldn't have
been an accident.

Speaker 25 (01:08:54):
The other runner, who attends Icy Norcom High School, has
not been named. Kaylan's parents say Norcomm's athletic director and
the girl's father apologize in a phone call, but they're
still waiting for the opposing athlete and her coaches to
reach out.

Speaker 17 (01:09:08):
We definitely want the coaches and a personal apology from
the actual athlete as well, because it's only you know,
it's only right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Yeah, and I will tell you this. And first I
was like, did it happen? Didn't it happen? Was it
an accident? How are they going to spin this? I'm sorry.
I've seen it from ten different angles. You can tell
when somebody's right. There's a stride right like that, there's

(01:09:38):
a stride that goes on this is and this is
what they practice, the stride, keeping in pace the whole
nine yards. And you could see that as she's running,
she takes her right hand and it breaks the stride
that she's in a boom.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
And I'm thinking, yeah, you did that on purpose.

Speaker 25 (01:09:57):
Let's not pretend The Virginia High School League saying in
a statement, we thoroughly review every instance like this, adding
the VHSL membership has always made it a priority to
provide student athletes with a safe environment for competition.

Speaker 34 (01:10:12):
Meanwhile, Kaylen's parents say that they're still waiting to see
what disciplinary actions will be taken against the other athlete
before deciding their next steps. In the meantime, guys, because
Kaylen's been recovering for a week, they're hoping that she
can finally return to school today.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
Now the girl that is accused of hitting her opponent
has come out.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
It's speaking on it. Oh she is, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
And she's very emotional over this. She was asked, how
do you feel about this? Was it intentional?

Speaker 25 (01:10:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 35 (01:10:47):
Plenty of Like people that I don't even know at
my school found my Instagram and texting me because they
know it's not in my character. Even other tracks teams
like Norview and Manner to me because they notice not
in my curates.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
But I've seen the video and you Whacker's that's what
you did.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
And by the way, I watched a lot of the interview.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Fix your damn smoke detector. The beating's driving me crazy.
I know it's not to your character.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
I you you did it, you can say, because she
starts out, No, it's just my natural It wasn't your
natural stride. Your natural stride isn't to run ten times
pumping your arms with two times, swinging the baton like
a weapon.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
That is not your natural running Pat.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
I'm just pointing that out just in case there's any
mistake in this three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
Will there or.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Won't there be a recession really depends on who you're
talking to. Do I think there'll be a recession. I
will tell you this right now and then I, my friends,
am not a sea sayer. There will always be recessions.
There will be ups, and yes, there will be downs. No, yes,

(01:13:57):
I know crazy, right. The question is is this one
coming soon? And what does it look like? Donald Trump
over the weekend talking to Maria Barchi.

Speaker 25 (01:14:06):
Roma, let me stay on the economy for a moment,
because there are rising worries about a slowdown.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to
have a contraction in the first quarter.

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
Look, I know that you inherited a mess, and you
say the other I've been here too.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
Are you expecting a recession this year?

Speaker 11 (01:14:21):
I hate to predict things like that. There is a
period of transition because what we're doing is very big.
We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing,
and there are always periods of it takes a little time.
It takes a little time. But don't I think it
should be great for us? I mean, I think it
should be great.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
It should be great for us, the kind of great.
We've never seen anything so great. It's the greatest, greatest
of the greatest things ever. Will there be a recession?
How does that affect you? I have said from the beginning.
Trump is trying some stuff. Remember, tariffs are used for
a lot of different things, even the playing field right,
to rebuild countries and economies. See what we did after

(01:15:03):
World War Two. There's a lot of things that tariffs
have been used for, and negotiating ploy is one of them.
Could these tariffs be used for something else? There's a
few people out there that think.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
There's more to the story than just this, and that
we are heading towards a recession.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
Ap Morgan Chase now puts the odds of a recession
this year at forty percent, up from thirty percent. I
spoke with Mark Zandi, he's the chief economist over at Moody's.
He said, at the beginning of the year he had
a fifteen percent odds of a recession this year, it's
now thirty five percent. If Trump implements these tariffs and
leaves them in place for the next few months.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Oh well, that's not good because you don't want that, right,
You don't want to you don't want it on your watch.
They're gonna come. It's how you react to them that matters.
And as long as Trump is open and honest with people. Okay,
you know, tell us why you're doing this, tell us why.
But remember, we Americans, we have a short attention span.

(01:16:03):
We've had a short attention span for quite a long time,
and it's gotten worse over the last teen years. Because
we live in an instant gratification world and we're a
consumer based society.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
We want him to everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Say with me, stockham deep and sell them cheap BATCHA
younger Sargon says, no, Trump is doing something here that's
setting us up forever.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
Donald Trump has done an amazing thing. He turned the
GOP into the Party of the working class and working
class voters love tariffs because they make their labor more
rewarding for them. They get the American working class higher wages,
which they can then use in the marketplace to compete

(01:16:47):
against elites and to actually achieve the American dream. President
Trump is teaching a generation of Republicans and business leaders
how to build an amazing economy that will lift all boats,
that will lift working class people as well as the
stock market, and that will give the GOP a ruling

(01:17:08):
majority for years and years to come. An economy based
on love of country that will make America into the
powerhouse of manufacturing, the superpower that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
It used to be.

Speaker 5 (01:17:18):
And I cannot get over the hutzpah hooks of these
business leaders sitting there whining about their quarterly reports while
President Trump teaches them how to build an economy based
on love of country and love of your neighbor. We
should be listening and watching and saying thank you, rather
than whining and moaning.

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
Oh wrong answer.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
It all sounds great, But you know what, I go
back to the attention span, and that attention span is
in your bank account.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
And while people are willing to stay with you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
For a lot of things, and they're even willing to go, hey,
while you put in your plan, we're willing to stick
it out for a little while. There's always an expiration
date on the little while. And what is that for

(01:18:16):
not just the MAGA voter, for the independent voter, for
the Republican voter, for the Democrats who were pissed off
with the way that the Democrats ran everything over the
last four years.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
What does that expiration date look like? And when does
it come.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
That's a good question because I still have no idea why,
in my mind, why he's doing this with Canada and
a few others. I understand, you know, Mexico China, there's
a battle there. This is not We've been putting tariffs

(01:18:57):
on each other for a while, so the the oh
my god, this scenario. But remember we're consumer based society.
Manufacturing's not coming back. We're not waiting a decade or
two to bring manufacturing back, even though that's the long
term play. That's great. People live in the moment because
their bank account tells them this is the moment. They're

(01:19:21):
living paycheck to paycheck. They do not live in the
I see the future. I see what you're trying to do.
I've got plenty of money and time to get through it. No,
they're living in the Oh my god, it's paycheck to paycheck.
This needs to get better. Now, there's another school of
thought out there. Trump's doing this on purpose. Trump's doing

(01:19:46):
this on purpose. And this is where it gets a
little wonky. Stick with me here. I'm going to try
to make it, you know, kind of simple and easy.
Trump puts tariffs on countries, causes uncertainty in the market.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
The market starts to fall.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
People pull their money out, they need to put it somewhere,
They throw it in bonds. Market continues to fall. What
ends up happening is the worry from the Fed. Uh, oh,
we better do something here. So what should we do. Well,
we're gonna have to start lowering interest rates. He starts
to get them to lower interest rates. We then go

(01:20:22):
refinance all of our debt because right now the service
on our debt is so ridiculously high. And when he
wanted to do it last time, when he was president,
everybody thought that was stupid. Well, now getting it down
where we are no longer paying more for the service
of our debt than the military is what some people

(01:20:43):
are suggesting that's a theory that's out there. Is that possible,
of course it is, But everything's got to go in
a certain direction, and we're in a certain way, so
we're going to find out. But the thought of us
being a manufacturing country again just isn't.

Speaker 3 (01:21:07):
Gonna happen. We don't manufacture.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
We export ideas that are built cheaper elsewhere and sold
back here at a price that people like. We do
not build here the way we used to, for a
myriad of reasons, of which some of it is cost.

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
There's no doubt the consumer has been the pillar of
this economy, continuing to spend despite it all high inflation,
higher interest rates. If that starts to pull back and
the job market starts to weaken, and some economists are
saying because of Trump's policies on deportation and the government layoffs,
we could see a big pullback in the job market,

(01:21:47):
and that's when the economy may pull back enough to
dip us into a recession.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
And these are all big gifts, But you have to
start asking yourself, at what point do.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
The people start to get a little nervy.

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
What point does the people start to say, this isn't
what we thought was gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:22:10):
At what point does that start to upset folks?

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
Because even if your goal is to get those rates down,
hope that they cut rates, go in re essentially, you know,
refinance our debt at a much lower rate. Even if
you do all of those things that sounds wonderful, you
also have to remember in doing this, you want to
make sure that you also put yourself in a position

(01:22:40):
to get all of your people back in office in
the midterms, so you're not a you know, not just
a lame duck, potentially a sitting duck. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your Twitter tweet at us text the program. I
do love hearing from every single one of you. We're
going to talk a little bit more about free speech.
Some of you are angry about Mahmood Khalil. We're going

(01:23:05):
to talk about that in a little bit because it
is a serious question. This isn't whether or not I
like what the guy said. This isn't whether or not.
And if you don't know who he is, he is
a Columbia graduate student who has been detained by.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Ice, has not been charged.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
I mean it's a free speech case and there's a
lot to it. It's not about whether or not I
like what he said. I tell you guys this, it
is about the due process that matters. We're going to
get to that in a little bit. But first, Southwest
Airlines doing what.

Speaker 18 (01:23:42):
The line two Bags fly Free is a registered trademark
on southwest website, but the company has been under pressure
from an investor group that's demanding changes in the business
model to make the carrier more profitable. Starting in late May,
two bags will fly free, but only for passengers who've
upgraded their seats or datus or have a Southwest Airlines
credit card.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
What two bags kind of fly free? Two bags? It depends.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
It's getting so expensive to fly to certain places or
just to fly at all.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
It's we we flew this past.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
Weekend and at one point we had to cause it
was over by, like you know a little bit, we
had to like reconfigure the bag so they'd have to
charge us more.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
And I thought to myself, my god, really.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
It's not a weight issue, because all the stuff still flew,
just flew in different areas.

Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
But I just started thinking to myself, you know, I
was talking to one guy.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
He and I were walking up we dropped our car
for earlierly and he was explaining to how cheap it
was to fly until he had got to the airport,
and then every bag got charged something. And I'm thinking, man,
it's gonna be cheaper to just fly somewhere with nothing.
Go buy all new stuff and then throw it away.

of all the stuff friends, you know, stuff that we've
done interview wise in the past with Ghettos and I
it's kind enough to send a card, which I thought, well,
that's awfully nice of you. Free speech, all things trending
in the magical world of Twitter. Speaking of Twitter slash
x yesterday an attack. It's quite interesting throughout the day,

(01:29:34):
the cyber attack that was going on, because one minute
Twitter would be okay, the next minute Twitter was virtually
not working at all. Then you would have one person
that I was talking to my Twitter's okay, the next
person's like, ah, my Twitter's not working at all.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
It was, it was wacky.

Speaker 6 (01:29:51):
There was a cyber attack on X today which shut
it down and may have been foreign sourced. It's a
big story. You want to give us a moment on that.

Speaker 12 (01:30:00):
Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was
a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the
X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.

Speaker 3 (01:30:13):
Do I think that it's Ukrainians?

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
I don't know, but I will tell you the thought
that they would use an IP address out of Ukraine
to attack Twitter, slash X to go after Elon and
the essentially Trump for what they see as being essentially

(01:30:38):
abandoned by this administration in their battle against Russia.

Speaker 3 (01:30:43):
I would find that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:44):

Love me or hate me? Feel free to reach out
to me and leave a message. The line is wide
open always. I don't always have time to get to
everything the day of But yesterday we were talking about
the rule of law and how the guy in Michigan
who was arrested in line dropping his kid off by

(01:31:44):
ice who had a action essentially against him, a removal
action from twenty fourteen, I believe, so it's eleven years
and people were upset by it because this guy's coming
here legally, he's not done anything wrong, but he went
through the system.

Speaker 3 (01:31:59):
So you got to be the law. That's just it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
And somebody didn't agree with me, little Trump dranger at
the syndrome. I'm sure, and that's great that you don't
agree with me. Let's talk it out. There's nothing wrong
with that. You may show me, oh you know what,
I'm missing something here, and I may say to you,
are you seeing the whole thing?

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
It's the beauty of our country being able to have
a conversation.

Speaker 9 (01:32:27):
Hello, Chad, listening to your show, and I'm just curious
how you juxta post your perspective on rules law and
we're not going to follow the rules. Why we have courts.
Let's look at our leader and he doesn't lead by example.
He does not follow the rule of law, nor does
he follow what the courts tell him to do so,

(01:32:49):
why should the rest of us follow the rules of law?
Chad answer that one for me. You probably won't because
you want to pander to your hardcore conservative right wing listeners.
And that's why you care about your AD revenue. The
truth doesn't really matter. Gorgeous parody, good luck.

Speaker 18 (01:33:05):
Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:33:07):
I'm always having a good day. And secondly, who doesn't
care about ad revenue? Hello, this is a business second
and third, uh, you'd be surprised my right wing quote
unquote base isn't as right wing as you think, because
we're the exhausted majority. And tell me what Trump has
gone against court wise, tell me, I mean lower federal courts,

(01:33:33):
stop stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
Nothing's got to the Supreme Court. He isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
The minute they say you can't do this, he goes
all right, whatever moves on. He knows, like everybody, you
throw a bunch of stuff against the wall, and every
president thinks they are able to do a whole bunch
of stuff. He probably didn't say the same thing about
Biden when he was trying to forgive debt that people
took out with student loans. You probably didn't think, oh, well,

(01:34:01):
he can't do that. No, every one of them do that.
But if you don't want to, if you just want
to have an open border, which is is I guess
that's what you're you're about, you know, I mean, that's
that's your right to say, yeah, we should just have
an open border and.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
We don't need to have rules.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Okay, that's that's fair. That's absolutely fair if that's what
you believe. But don't tell me that, Well, we should
give these everybody a chance here to apply for asylum
and go through the system. And when the system doesn't work,
you just say screw the system, because.

Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
That's ridiculous. You know that, you absolutely know that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
And when you say, how do you how do you
hold this up and even think about talking like something
like this, because you know you you juxtapose that against
your hard right base. Let me tell you some my
herd right base is pissed at me today, supposedly because uh.

Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
My hood, my mood, my mood, want to get that right,
my mood. Khalil who is is the graduate student.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Who currently is somewhere And I say that because I
don't know where he's at.

Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
And this is a guy who, for.

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
The most part, I find everything he says about America,
about the West, abhorrent.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
That being said, what has he been charged with? Where's
his due process? Where is his due process? I want
to know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
I don't have to like what he says. Hell no,
and this isn't all about what he said. That being said,
he needs due process. Where is he Why hasn't he
spoken to lawyer? What's he been charged with? I would
like to know, as a person who's an absolutist when

(01:35:56):
it comes to free speech. Well, he's here on a visa.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
He's not he's a Green card holder, a permanent resident.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
It's not a hit, just here on a regular old visa,
which is what was reported yesterday by a lot of outlets.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
He's part of a terrorist organization, then prove it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:14):
It should be easy. I am about due process. I
cherished the Constitution. I look at it. I understand it
is a love letter to the American people that protects
us from an overreach and overbearing government. And this guy,

(01:36:34):
like I said, I may find everything he talks about abhorrent,
and I don't think he's a martyr.

Speaker 3 (01:36:40):
The way that they're making him out to be.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
But he deserves due process, and you've got to do
it right, because if you screw this up and you
go and yet don't charge him with anything, which the
last eye of check, Now this could change.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
You may be listening to just hours later, he could
have been charged with him. I don't know. But the
fact that he's last heard in.

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
Louisiana, so they took him from New York and moved
him to Louisiana. Is even his attorney and his wife like,
we have no idea where he is.

Speaker 13 (01:37:12):
Demonstrators have massed here in Lower Manhattan in protest of
the arrest by federal immigration agents of maflu Khalil, a
Columbia University graduate student who had been organizing some of
the protests against Israel on Columbia's campus last spring. President
Trump says the arrest was in furtherance of his policies
against anti Semitism. But these demonstrators say the arrest violated

(01:37:37):
free speech rights and is unconstitutional.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Well, that doesn't do you well when you're talking about
from the river to the sea at the end there,
But did he do stuff? Did he advocate for the
violence against Jews? Did he threaten students?

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
Was he a part of taking over part of Columbia's campus.
That is something that people are looking at. He was
suspended originally and then they rescinded that suspension after they
investigated and said he there's nothing there. They said he

(01:38:20):
was a leader of the the you know, agitator, and
that the group he works for and with is a
known terrorist organization. All of those things should be easy
to prove. That's why you give them the due process.
So you go through and you say we followed the steps.
He was part of an organization that was not only

(01:38:44):
pro Palestine, but pro Humas, advocated for the death of Jews,
threatened Jews, and you go through it and that way
you have no there'thing else. You say, you did it right.

(01:39:05):
You showed everybody you did it right. So and remember
last week acxios reported the state departments planning on the
they were going to scan the social media accounts of
thousands of foreigners and revoke the visas who they believe
was pro Hamas.

Speaker 3 (01:39:24):
This guy.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
Is not on a student visa, which makes it much
different than if he was just here on a student
VIDIA visa. He's on a permanent green card, which almost
gives him essentially the same rights as an American citizen.

Speaker 34 (01:39:42):
I am here today because I know in my bones
as an American Jew, how dangerous it is when the
government starts abducting legal residents that they disagree with.

Speaker 23 (01:39:52):
I am mortified as an American, as a Jew, and
as an alumnus of this institution that you have been
taken into custody.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
Now do I think he's this wonderful human being?

Speaker 21 (01:40:04):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
I think he hates the West. He hates all the
things the West stands for. He thinks it's evil, he
thinks it's bad, et cetera, et cetera. Like I said,
what I find to be abhorrent doesn't mean that he
shouldn't have us rights and we shouldn't respect those things.

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
And we should.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
And they're gonna turn and here's the thing. The Left
is gonna turn him into this this great martyr and
this this victim and stuff. I'm looking at none of
this stuff on the emotional side, and I'm looking all
from the analytical. Let's break it down for real. He
is here, he's here legally, he's a permanent Green card holder.

(01:40:53):
You say he's pro Hamas. Prove that he's pro Hamas.
Prove that he because you can be pro Hamas. That's
that's free speech. But did you threaten Jews? Were you
anti Semitic threatening to kill Jews? Or you know, doing

(01:41:14):
the things that they that they said that he's accused of.
Did you take over the parts of the campus, which
is one of the grounds that he could be removed
from this country? Did you do all the things they're
accusing you of, Because if he did, yeah, again, I

(01:41:36):
find what he says abhorreent. But we're going to find
out through due process, and I hope that's what happens,
because if he was to be removed without the process
of a hearing and just essentially sent back to Syria,
which is where he was from, I've that's that to

(01:41:57):
me is an issue and it should be for everyonebody
else out there, because this should be about again, not
a student visa. Want to remind everybody at a Green
card holder and because of that, following the process and

(01:42:17):
the steps of the due process to get to where
it needs to be, because if you go and do
all these things and you find out, oh, you guys
can have the authority to do that, because I already
judges that NA that a hold on here. You can't
get rid of him. We're gonna have a hearing tomorrow
and we'll go from there. Is he a threat to

(01:42:38):
our country? He hates the West, he hates all the
Western culture, which again boggles my mind. While you're here,
you know why, because you can say crap that you
can't say elsewhere. Even places that you agree with in
the way they feel about things, you know, you can't
say them there.

Speaker 37 (01:42:53):
Tonight we're talking about this particular case. But the statue
you quoted, it's an obscure statue. All statute that's being
used is about being against US foreign policy.

Speaker 31 (01:43:04):
Right.

Speaker 37 (01:43:04):
So, for example, when I was part of protests in
Miami when the Clinton administration and Janet Reno returned Elean
Gonzalez to Cuba, is.

Speaker 13 (01:43:14):
That were you trying?

Speaker 3 (01:43:15):
Were you trying to eradicate Western civilization?

Speaker 37 (01:43:17):
No, I was trying to stop the US government, and
I was protesting against what the US government had done.

Speaker 18 (01:43:22):
I was preoccupying buildings.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
I was protesting.

Speaker 22 (01:43:25):
I was doing that.

Speaker 4 (01:43:28):
Doing what that statue I was a US foreign policy.

Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
Are you intimidating people?

Speaker 34 (01:43:33):
We were.

Speaker 37 (01:43:34):
We were shutting down streets, they were shutting down buildings,
and we were.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
Just man, that's a lot of yelling and screaming back
and forth. Were you doing any of those things? You weren't.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
You were pissed off of the American government because of
Ilian Gonzales going back to Colombia. You didn't want to
overthrow the US government. It's a different thing, Anna. Does
this guy want to throw the US government? Does he
want to? You know, we can go on and on

(01:44:05):
about this. How much did the you know, the ADL
and several Jewish organizations push for this is another question
that's being asked.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
There's a lot that goes on to this.

Speaker 2 (01:44:16):
Like I said, I find a vast majority because I
don't know the guy of what he said that I've
heard so far.

Speaker 3 (01:44:24):
Not a fan of not I find it exactly the
opposite of my beliefs.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
But as much as I want people that do not
like the West, do not like America, do not like Israel,
as much as I'm not a fan and don't want
them here because they don't represent my values. My values
first and foremost as the Constitution, and I believe in
the due process. And when you do it the right way,

(01:44:55):
you'd be surprised what happens. And remember this, as I
explained to some people earlier, and some of you were
mad at me because I talked about this earlier and
you didn't like what I said.

Speaker 3 (01:45:05):
You won't always be in charge.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
And what happens when another group of people decides that, hey,
you know what, I don't like that over there, and
I want to get rid of that visa or that
person needs to go somewhere because I think they're a threat.

Speaker 5 (01:46:58):
You voted for Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:47:01):
You are not a Christian.

Speaker 14 (01:47:02):
You have no rats to claim that you love God,
or you love Jesus or you love Jesus's word. What
you love a systems of control. You love systems of
power that allow you to rise to the top. It
allow the people who you think deserve to be at

usually a solid way to show your Christianity. Oh my god, insane.
Speaking of insane, did you know that the police are
apparently having a rap battle. I'm not lying, kids, there's

(01:47:50):
a disk track.

Speaker 18 (01:47:51):
Dallas and fort Worth are just thirty miles apart, and
they draw from the same pool of potential police recruits.
Dallas recently bought a billboard near fort Worth police headquarters
proclaiming we are hiring.

Speaker 3 (01:48:01):
The way they go about recruiting is different from how
we go about.

Speaker 18 (01:48:04):
Recruiting, says fort Worth officer Terrence Parker. We try to
be a step above full worked on the Gato, recognize
all the time on the street and go Parker stores
and Kendrick Lamar inspired disk track and music video touting
fort Worth and throwing shade on Dallas.

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
As you do. That's the way you want your cops.

Speaker 2 (01:48:22):
You're like, I was going to join your police force,
but their disk track was way better. You need to
laugh every once in a while, otherwise you will cry.
We don't want that, okay, we don't want that. At
