Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. If you're a Democrat
or celebrating today because of what tookplace in the crazy az Arizona. Why
is that an abortion ban? Alaw from one hundred and sixty years ago?
(00:34):
What's that mean, Chad? Thisis it. It's the end of
everything. No, it's the beginningof what democrats dream of, getting abortion
on all the ballots, especially instates that are swinging states. And yesterday
the Arizona Supreme Court decided, Hey, I know, you guys got another
(00:55):
law that you put in place,but this one from one hundred and sixty
years ago seem like the right one. What Arizona Supreme Court said is a
law that was written in eighteen sixtyfour, before Arizona was even a state.
The country was dealing with the CivilWar at that time, one hundred
and sixty years ago. That alaw that was written that bans all abortions
except to save the life of amother. That is the law of the
(01:17):
land. It was never repealed.That is what is enforceable in Arizona,
not a newer interpretation of the law, which is a fifteen week ban in
the state. So at this pointArizona Supreme Court, saying the law goes
back to eighteen sixty four. Thatis the law. Oh my goodness,
Oh you're celebrating that. But Chad, it's it's it's it's let me what
were you doing. You're celebrating thisbecause this is that one issue that we
(01:41):
have seen. We've seen even theconservative states to the Bible Belt, that
no matter how much pro life peoplecheer this on, no matter how much
that we think, you know,everybody in the Bible Belt wants, you
know, abortion overturned, the realityis it loses on the ballot when given
the opportunity. Now imagine that inswing states come November. It is a
(02:07):
near total abortion ban with one exceptionto save the life of the pregnant person.
But the law carries penalties of somewherebetween two and five years for doctors
who violated. So no doctor isgoing to risk you know, their life
liberty, professional license on the hopethat they can convince a jury and a
(02:29):
prosecutor that yes, actually an abortionwas necessary to save the life of the
pregnant person. You know, thereare no exceptions for rape or incest.
Two things. It's a woman,it's not a person. Let's put that
out there and fourteen days. Sothey got they put it on hold for
fourteen days. That's second thing,Arizona Governor Hobbes, we are fourteen days
(02:50):
away from this extreme ban coming backto life. It must be repealed immediately,
must be repealed. Out Republicans arenot thrilled by this. They're not
because they understand Donald Trump delivered someconvoluted thing the other day about you know,
the states and abortion, and itwasn't there was no roadmap and this
(03:16):
right here. Remember he lost thestate by what ten thousand votes? You
think he's thrilled by this. No, No, he's not, because it's
about winning elections. It's about winningelections, and everybody's going to trace this
back to Well, the thing I'vesaid is going to be his lasting legacy.
(03:37):
I know everybody wants to think hislasting legacy on the left is he's
going to enslave everybody and make himselfking and kill everybody to vote for him.
But when we get back to theworld of reality, his legacy the
people who look at is going tobe that Supreme Court. And this is
definitely a direct response to what theyruled on. This is a direct result
(03:58):
of dabs ushering in laws that womenhad no say in that will render them
on equal citizens, onable to havethe kind of medical care that they and
their doctors conclude as necessary. Andlet's be real, baby killer. Oh
shit, that's what it is.I mean, you know, you're your
it's your choice. And I andI say this all the time. I
never want to take anybody's choice away. I don't God gave us free will.
(04:24):
It's the way I look at it. It's your choice. I think
there comes a point in time whereyou know responsibility and reality sets in once
you get past a certain level.Fifteen weeks seems to be about the sweet
spot. That being said, youknow I get craft from pro life people,
Well, you should be one hundredpercent pro life. I can be
one hundred percent of anything, ButI live in a world where elections matter.
(04:47):
Winning matters, and I'm not goingto get one hundred percent of everything
I want, and they're not goingto get one hundred percent of everything they
want. Whoever it is on theopposite side, no matter what the issue
is. But make no doubt aboutthis, this is huge. This is
massive. Seven states will decide thisnext election and going forward where we're headed
(05:14):
seven states, Arizona being one ofthem. But as a political matter,
this could not be more of adisaster for the Republican Party. Yesterday Donald
Trump said, well, it's upto the people in the states decide.
Let the states decide. Well,here you find what happens when you let
the states decide, and Florida asix week ban is in place. I
(05:35):
guarantee you in both those states ifyou put that on the ballot, and
they will be on the ballot inthe form of initiatives, that a majority
of voters in those states do notagree with those policies. So I think
what this does is it puts abattleground state more in the leaning D column
than the leaning R column. BecauseI think there's going to be a massive
(05:58):
turnout in in November for a constitutionalamendment in the state of Arizona, because
the voters of Arizona now have ademonstration of the fragility of abortion rights in
the post Dobs era. I thinkthis is an earthquake. Those electoral votes
in Arizona could be the ones thattip this election. That's why it's so
(06:20):
big. You know what I doif I'm a Republican. If I'm a
Republican, I try to get thison the ballot at fifteen weeks. Take
back the fight, take it tothem, put it out there, and
(06:42):
if they're going to put it onthe ballot, I would do something else.
Try to get the ballot to say, Okay, you're going to have
it on the ballot. How dowe have it on the ballot? Give
the people choices, fifteen weeks,eight weeks, whenever, and obviously the
exemptions we need that the Democrats arecelebrating this, the money that's going to
(07:09):
pour in, the amount of noisethat's going to be made from this,
and the fact that there are alot of people out there, even Republicans,
who don't want it gone. Theywant limits on it, but they
don't want it gone. And you'regonna get people that may not come out
to vote, especially the young.They're pissed at Biden over Israel. He's
(07:33):
old, he's all of that.They're going to show up, maybe more
than they have in a while,because if you go and look, people
in their fifties and sixties, theyshow up to vote. People in their
twenties and thirties, they're not alwaysreliable. This is something that I think
would get them to the ballot.And at swing state time and during the
(07:54):
swing state battles that are going togo on the seven states that are out
there, we'll decide this. Thisis going to be big. We'll talk
about the economy because that's a bigdeal. Inflation, it's a massive deal.
But this to me is a winfor the Democrats. One hundred and
sixty year law. Weren't even astate like this seems like a good thing.
(08:20):
We didn't repeal it. Now thereare stupid laws out there, by
the way, that have never beenrepealed. There's a law I think in
New York adultery is against the law, but nobody follows that law. This
is something stupid. They put somethingin place fifteen weeks. You take the
(08:41):
sting out of it, give themnowhere to go make the argument hard for
them. That's a helper for you. They had already passed a law.
Doug Doocy says, hey, fifteenweeks, and everybody's like, yeah,
it seems fair. And now thiscomes and all all of a sudden,
they're able to flip the script Handmaid'sTale. Oh we'll get to that in
(09:03):
a minute. Not a win forthe Republicans yesterday at all speaking of insanity.
Got a lot of stuff to getto today. I mean there's a
ton of stuff to get to,including NPR. So if you guys didn't
hear yesterday, we touched on itbriefly. Uri Berlinner, who is a
(09:26):
guy who's been at NPR for avery long time. He's an editor,
wrote a piece yesterday about how NPRbasically lost to trust to the American people.
We can talk about that because Ithink it is fascinating. More on
the abortion stuff, Boeing, youname it, we've got it today.
It's a show that is absolutely packedfull of fun and yes, lots of
(09:48):

(11:22):
the Chad Benson Show, Ladies,have you ever wondered why some men choose
wonderbread women over you? And whenI say wonderbread, I'm just talking about
girls who are a bit more plain, a bit more basic average, And
you, on the other hand,are like a divine French croissant. And
you're confused. You're like, Idon't get it. Why are you going
for wonderbread when I'm right here.There are three reasons why this happens,
and I'm going to tell you exactlywhat they are. Starting with reason number
(11:43):
one, wonderbread is cheaper. Okay, you get a lot more value for
basically half the price of a croissant. And even though some men might appreciate
the way you look, they aregoing to choose wonderbread because she doesn't require
as much money or time to impress. All right, did you guys understand
that? Ladies? So, areyou a croissant? What about a donut?
Croissants said, okay, nobody's abagel apparently, But wonderbread. Yeah,
(12:07):
you know what, Men prefer thewonderbread they do. I think we
understand that, which brings me areason number two. Wonderbread will change yourself.
For a man, a croissant willnot okay, wonderbread will become a
grilled cheese, an avocado toast,a peeb and j any date of the
week, depending on what he wants. A croissant, on the other hand,
it's kind of like take it orleave it, as in, you
might not be as willing to compromiseor change your lifestyle for a guy.
(12:30):
And the third reason is wonderbread isless maintenance. Okay, wonderbread, you
break it apart. There are nocrumbs with a croissant, a lot of
crumbs, and some guys honestly don'twant to deal with it. But here's
the thing. The people that likecroissants love croissants and they don't even look
at wonderbread. So don't try tochange yourself, but instead embrace all of
your flaky French layers because the rightperson is going to adore them. So
(12:50):
let's recap this insanity. Wonderbread iswhat men prefer. Eh, Sturdy,
delicious, amazing, always there foryou got your back, croissant, flaky,
pain in the ass, hot messand more expensive. There you go,
(13:16):
which do you prefer? It's theeconomy stup. We've been talking about
abortion obviously, but it's the economy. It is the economy that is going
to have a big play on what'sgoing on. I think in a lot
of what's coming for these elections now, this abortion issue is going to be
(13:39):
huge. And I've been talking aboutit for a while and now some of
you are like, well, maybethis isn't a good idea, and several
of you have chimed in about yeah, you know what, Trump's a thing
the other day that he gave.It wasn't the most solid of endorsements of
anything when it came to abortion.It's a problem solved. I solved that
you didn't. There was no roadmapto success. But the economy is still
(14:03):
going to play a huge role inthis. But there's no doubt the abortion
issue especially, I mean we talkedabout it first words out of my mouth
today. Celebration for the Democrats becauseof the ruling yesterday in Arizona, which
is where I'm at, Arizona.But you still have to think about the
economy. The Federal Reserve has alreadyraised interest rates to around five and a
(14:24):
half percent to fend off stubbornly highinflation. And while the prices that we
pay are not going up as muchas they were three years ago. The
typical American household is still spending aboutone thousand dollars extra every month on the
same goods and services because of inflation. With so many struggling to make ends
meet. Jamie Diamond has been warningabout an impending recession for a while.
(14:46):
He admits that still has not happened. No, it still hasn't happened.
It doesn't mean it's not going toand that would have a play into everything,
and gas prices going up, oilsitting high. Can't blame all of
that on obvious Biden because there's alot of unrest and so there's a lot
going on. So that's not justabortion. But you know, telling people,
(15:09):
hey, you're getting it wrong.The economy is amazing. Is is
not the reality of it. Itmay be amazing for some, but the
expense is there for everybody. Andif you've been to the grocery store,
you understand that all the trend lineslook really good here. So with each
passing month, that sting that financialstings should be less painful. Okay,
(15:33):
the financial sting should be less painful. Let's remind everybody it's cumulative Wall Street
Journal today not bad the other dayabout one hundred dollars. What did one
hundred dollars get you a few yearsago compared to now? So it gets
you thirty seven dollars less at thestore. So think about that something that
(15:54):
costs you one hundred bucks that threeyears ago, two, three years ago,
four years ago, twenty nineteen ishto twenty twenty, now's costing you
one hundred and thirty seven dollars.It's a process, though it's not going
to be an event. It's notlike one day we're gonna wake up and
say, oh, this is allgreat. It's one of those things that
you know, over time we're goingto say, oh, okay, now
(16:15):
I get it. Now I getit. Disinflation, things are coming down.
It's a process. Well are youfeeling it? The economy will still
play a role. There's no doubtthis ruling yesterday in Arizona is going to
have big ramifications, especially because itis the one thing right now that the
(16:40):
Republicans don't know how to talk about, and that the Democrats absolutely are going
to try to get onto every ballotin the states that they believe that most
people believe are swing states. Andthat's going to be a tough one for
Republicans. Like I said the otherday, I was not thrilled by the
(17:00):
way that Trump handled his whatever itwas, his release of video about abortion,
about choice, because I don't thinkit gave the Republicans a roadmap.
And you better learn how to talkabout it, and you better do it
fast. Three two, three,five, three eight, twenty four,
(17:21):
twenty three At Chad Benson Show Show, Twitter, your Instagram. It's Wednesday.
We're gonna get woke, a lotof crazy chaos. Talk about that
monkst other things. Chad Benson Job, The Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,
(17:56):
Independent Life, This is BENSI.It was a fascinating piece. We
talked about it a little bit yesterdayand it's not a shock. My buddies
ang call it nakedly progressive radio.Uri Berliner is a editor. I think
he does business and tech and NPRhas been there for a long time.
(18:18):
Came out with a piece yesterday abouthow NPR had lost the trust of the
American people. Not a shock er. It's very liberal over there, and
there's been a lot of pushback andhe's got a lot of support. Some
of the stuff that he said,Well, last night he went on with
Cuomo on NewsNation. People ask meall the time, who do you watch
(18:40):
and trust? I go to NewsNation. I like it. I also
watch Breaking Points because you get twoperspectives out there with Crystal and Seger,
who I think are amazing. There'sa lot of independent media and we'll talk
about that. How that's changing everythingWith some of the stuff he said,
(19:06):
Man, it's spot on the headline. I've been at NPR for twenty five
years. Here's how we lost America'strust. Among his claims, NPR was
stacked with like minded people who appealedto an ever narrow progressive worldview, catering
to a select audience and losing itsaudience as a result. He also says
(19:26):
stories were ignored, mistakes made,corrections never issued, and that it all
quote shatters trust and engenders cynicism aboutthe media. And when he dug into
voter registration at NPR in Washington,guess what he found? Eighty seven Democrats,
not a single Republican. Does hehave a point, yep? Eighty
(19:47):
seven to zero. Some of thestuff he talked about, Russia, Russia,
Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, it came out, there was
no Russia, Russia, Russia.NPR never said a thing one of the
other things you talked about, Hey, this laptop from this guy. Now
it's disinformation, they've said, Sowe're fine with that. We're never going
to cover it. It's not real. When they found out it was real,
(20:07):
never said a thing about it.The COVID nightmare that we all lived
through. Their take on it wasit was one hundred percent natural. Fauci
is the end all, to beall and God. These are just a
few things, and a lot ofit has to do with Trump one hundred
percent. Uri Berlinner NPR talking abouthey, and you get pushed back,
(20:30):
what's going on. I'm not surprisedby the response that came from management and
the same managers that I've been makinga lot of these points about, and
they're certainly entitled to that perspective.I will say I've had a lot of
support from colleagues, and many ofthem unexpected who say they agree with me.
Some of them say this confidentially,but I think there's been a lot
(20:51):
of response saying, look, theseare things that need to be addressed.
We haven't. We've been too reluctant, too frightened, too timid to deal
with these things. And I thinkthat this is this is the right opportunity
to bring it all out in theopen, which is good, and we
need to. The trust in themedia is nothing anymore. And I say
(21:11):
media because the reality is I thinktoo often we're looking at MSNBC, Fox
and stuff that's news. That's notnews. None of that's news. That's
opinion, and everybody has their opinion, and everybody is serving an audience,
and it's become very fractured and nichewhat he's pointing out is, look here,
(21:33):
NPR is supposed to be the endall, to be all right,
Like this is National Public Radio.They're supposed to serve up you know,
this is the story here. Itis kind of thing, is what?
And he's like, it ain't happening. None of that stuff is happening.
I think it's evolved. You know, I've been at NPR a long time,
(21:55):
twenty five years. You could sayI'm a lifer, and it's a
place I've always loved working. Butwhen I started, there was a liberal
orientation, but I think we weremore guided by curiosity, open mindedness.
You know, you said talked aboutpolicy. We were kind of nerdy and
really like to dig into things andunderstand the complexity of things. That I
think that's evolved over the years intoa much narrower kind of niche thinking,
(22:18):
a group think that's really clustered arounda very selective progressive views that they don't
allow enough air, enough enough spaciousnessto consider all kinds of perspectives, and
they should. I get a lotof you can't stand me, and I
appreciate you. Listen, and wedisagree on stuff, and some stuff we
agree on, and some of youwill readily admit that nowther you just like
(22:41):
to say horrible things because that's youthrive on that. You're more interested in
being controlled than anything else. Idon't like groupthink because I think groupthink is
the confirmation bias. You're always lookingto reaffirm your beliefs. You're never looking
at challenge. It's the one thingwe always say, go chatlenge your beliefs
every day. If it can withstandthe rigor of an argument, then you've
(23:04):
got something there. If your beliefis so protected like an egg shell,
and you're afraid of what might happenif challenged, that's not good at all,
and erieber Lennard talks about the factthat, hey, you know what,
there's plenty of stuff out here.People are heading in a different direction.
They're looking for media that's going togive them they're good. They want
(23:27):
opinion, they want personality, butthey want the truth. No, I
don't think so at all. Imean, I think we're seeing a growing
number of independent writers, substackers,people with podcasts like the Free Press where
I published this story, where there'sthere's a different perspective that we could call
it heterodox, politically homeless, whereyou don't really know what you're going to
(23:49):
the take you're going to get youthere's a lot of surprise, there's curiosity.
You may not like everything you hear, but you're going to get intelligent,
open minded conversations, which I thinkmost people want. Most people want
who are interested in politics and stufflike that, they want intelligent, open
minded conversation. That's what I want. I love to hear from people who
(24:11):
disagree with me, and we haveconversations. Again, if you're just out
and you just want to say horrificthings, if it makes you feel better,
I'm glad I can help. Now. Joshua Johnson used to be at
NPR for a very long time.He had a pushback against this again NPR
eighty seven to zero. When itcomes to the editors of NPR in DC
(24:36):
and they asked, Joshua, hey, you know, like a lot of
this I had to do with Trump, because so much of this really picked
up steam because of Trump. No, there's not. And I feel that
way because worked during the Trump administrationon NPR and built a show from our
predecessor, the Diane Reem Show,to a larger audience than it had.
And the way that we did thatwas pretty simple. If you only look
at people by their political leanings ortheir part of and leanings, you're looking
(25:00):
at one of the least interesting partsabout them. There's so much more that
makes a person who they are.And so we talked about politics in the
context of someone's overall humanity, aboutyou, your story, and who you
are. I feel like mister Berlinner'spiece says there's not enough people from this
list and too many people from thatlist. Maybe he needs to stop listing
(25:22):
and start listening. Maybe what actuallyhe needs to do as an editor at
NPR is to help put stories togetherand pitches together to work with member stations
to actually solve the problem rather thangoing outside of the house and complaining about
it. And the fact that he'sbeen there so long really for me,
kills a lot of the credibility fromhis argument rather than saying, here are
(25:42):
the things I tried to do tofix this. Well, he did talk
about some of the things he triedto do. You know, one of
the other things he talked about isthe whole George Floyd thing and his piece
that DEI became the most important thingat NPR, that they essentially became a
(26:02):
religion that didn't matter if the personwas ready for to do something, didn't
matter, what talented, didn't matterwhat they were doing as long as you
check the box of color of allof this is where they went and frustration
across the board. Joshua Johnson,former NPR, hosts a show now on
(26:22):
the old YouTube again Independent Media.He says, naw, this guy's full
of crab. This this old articleis a bunch of bunk. It's fair
the same way that it was whenI was at one A. Because NPR
is in Washington, but it's notfor Washington. It's a national trust,
and Washington DC as a city ismore than ninety five percent Democrats, so
geographically that kind of makes sense.The beauty of what NPR can does and
(26:45):
this is all can do, andthis is also why I'm kind of bored
by his piece, is that NPR'spower is literally in the member stations.
NPR is not a network like oncable news, where there's one big organization
that shouts orders down to the country. Stations founded in stations literally are where
all the power is. And that'snot true. And I'll say this.
I live in Arizona. I havefriends who work at NPR, and they
(27:07):
would tell me there is not oneconservative NPR. Well, this is a
pretty much a kind of red state, you know, turning purple. No,
I have friends who work in LosAngeles, have friends who work in
NPR stations, because you hit mein this business for this long and not
have people who work all over Idon't know any conservatives to work at NPR.
(27:29):
I'm sure there's a few out there, but really, the guy doesn't
have a point. You're bored withit. You're bored with it because you
don't like what he had to say, because it challenged your belief that,
hey, we are giving it toyou straight. We're giving you the truth.

under FAA oversight. This analysis hasvalidated that these issues do not present any
safety concerns in the aircraft will maintainits service life over several decades. Now,
that's what he says. His attorneyscome out and said, yeah,
settle down. In twenty twenty oneand twenty twenty two, Boeing slowed production
(31:25):
and stopped delivering seven eighty sevens becauseof these concerns. It later said it
addressed the issue and the FAA signedoff resuming deliveries in twenty twenty two.
That Salapor's lawyer claims those fixes arenot enough. They claim that they've done
extensive testing and analysis, but haven'tshown it internally to Sam or the other
engineers. Boeing is already working onimproving its quality control. Hearing is scheduled
(31:48):
next week on Capitol Hill. Thecompany CEO already announcing he'll step down.
Yes, quality control is important ina lot of things, but when you're
thirty five thousand feet in the air, quality control is the most important thing.
It is. Several of you havetexted in about this. One person
(32:08):
very interesting, said Hey, chat, I'm buying Boeing stock now because nearly
all of this negative review and news, including the crashes with Max, it's
just a lot of media hypebs.The Max crashes were the result of third
world pilot incompetence period. Boeing buildsthe best jets on the planet. Take
that to the bank. I canspeak with some authority on the Boeing issues.
(32:30):
Thanks Dennis. Boeing builds amazing jets. There's no doubt there's been issues,
absolutely, quality control being one ofthem, and the Max seven eighty
seven. So when you buy anairplane, this is what you do.
You buy an airplane and then it'skind of all a caart. What do
you want on it? What doyou want in it? What software are
(32:50):
you going to get? What areyou not going to get? The seven
eighty seven crashes, those ones thattook place, those were issues with the
pilots, there was no doubt about. There was some serious issues with that,
not training, certain things like that. But you've got to understand something.
When you're thirty five thousand feet inthe air, the fear is real
(33:13):
for a lot of people because ofconfirmation bias seeing everything up there and It's
one of those things where the mostvisceral thing in the world that you can
have, that fear of no controlfalling. You have no control, you
don't know how to fly the plane. Although we always go over that study
that what is it seven to tenmen think that if something happened to the
pilot, they could land a plane. They could even figure out how to
(33:35):
probably talk to somebody on the ground, let alone land the plane. But
is it safe to fly? I'mtraveling with my family plane in forty eight
hours? Are we safe? Arewe okay? You're not the only person
who's been asking this to me.I think the big thing here is that
if you're on a Max nine,which is at the central of all of
these issues lately, those are probablythe safest they've ever been. Tho's been
(33:55):
gone over with a fine tooth combafter the door plug bow out of the
plane was grounded for nineteen days.There is a bit of a different question
here about these other sort of oneoff incidents, most of those at United
Airlines. There's been about a dozenof those incidents. The wheel falling off
of a Triple seven leaving San Franciscoplanes sketting off the end of the runway
in Houston engine fire of a flightleaving an airport and had to come back
(34:16):
right away. There's questions around thoseNow. I said this yesterday. I
don't know how who maintains what soBoeing sells you a plane, where does
their responsibility end. It's one ofthe things, is this a Delta thing,
is it a United thing? Thosethings are very fair, but we
(34:37):
want to know this is it safeto get on our plane. It's really
important to differentiate here. There's theMax nine issue, which really exposed a
quality control problem and systemic issues atBoeing which led to the now resignation of
their CEO by the end of theyear, and then there are these one
up. It's really important to rememberhere that the last time someone was killed
(34:58):
on the commercial airliner in the UnitedStates was back in twenty nineteen, twenty
eighteen. That was sort of afreak incident, a fan blade flew of
an engine killed a passenger on boarda plan. Last time there was a
fatal commercial airplane crash in the UStwo thousand and nine, that was the
Colgan Air crash. Led to reallysignificant changes of regulations and requirements for pilot
training aviation in the US is incrediblysafe, especially on a commercial airline.
(35:20):
There you go, and he said, especially on a commercial airline because private
jets and things like that, weknow things happen, but commercial airlines still
safe. But it's giving up thatcontrol that it's tough for a lot of
people to do. Understandable. Iraised my hand at times in that situation.
Three two, three, five,three eight, twenty four to twenty
(35:42):
three at Chad Benson Show. Itwas your Twitter. If you missed any
show, grab the podcast. Alot of stuff still to get to,
including more on that NPR article thatcame out yesterday, an opinion piece by
Ury Berliner that basically said nprs lostthis way, it's in an echo chamber,
and that it's nothing but liberals andprogressives who live in a small world.
(36:06):
He's getting pushedback for that, talkabout that border issues, A ton
of stuff. Don't go anywhere.It's the Chad Benson Show. This is
the Chad Benson Show, Independent thoughts, independent life, This is Chad Benson.
(36:45):
If you are a person who believesin choice and you live in Arizona,
or even if you're outside of Arizona, you saw what happened yesterday.
You are angry and upset. You'rea Republican and you saw what happened yesterday
with Arizona upholding a law from eighteensixty four. When it comes to abortion,
(37:13):
you're upset. If you're pro life, you're excited. If you're a
Democrat politician fundraiser, you are thrilledbecause money a chance to talk about stuff
(37:34):
that can blast Trump in an electionyear. Oh baby, that's a home
run right there, Chad. TheDemocratic politicians are probably very upset. They're
not understand. It's about power,That's what it's about. They don't care,
but they do can't know. Theydon't. They love the power,
(37:58):
the money. They're going to befine even if you made it completely illegal
here and you couldn't even it doesn'tmatter. If they needed to get an
abortion, they would. This isjust another opportunity and talking point, and
they're going to eat it up.We continue to live under an unacceptable ban,
(38:22):
a lot that still strips arizonans oftheir personal autonomy and has no exceptions
for women who are the victims ofrape or insist or any regard for pregnancy
complications. That right there's Governor Hobbsyou know, Governor Hobbs became Governor Hobbs
close election Secretary of State, soshe runs all of the elections here.
(38:45):
Trump lost, Republicans went after likeyou could not believe. They made her
a star. She would not havebeen the nominee for the Democrats. They
had other things in mind when itcame to people they wanted to run.
Eventually, she beat Carrie Lake,but because of the noise, the insanity,
(39:07):
it elevated her being on television MSNBC, CNN every single night. She
was kind of ushered into the Democraticside of it, and she ended up
winning. This is a win forDemocrats. You guys are celebrating this.
Republicans are like, I'm They're notthrilled by this. They're not They're like,
(39:29):
this sucks. What are we gonnado? We don't want to talk
about it. Trump came out andhe didn't deliver any message that was coherent
enough to say pick a lane andgo, and the media, oh choy
read well, let's talk about theendgame here. One of the things that
they're doing in the state of Arizonais attempting to make it harder for ballot
initiatives to even be placed on theballot in this state and other states to
(39:52):
try to make it harder to undoit. So the Handmad Sale, when
you watch it, what's amazing ishow mundane the lead up to it was.
They simply passed laws to make itharder to stop the small minority of
religious extremists from doing what they want. You have six members of the Supreme
Court to say no, women,you don't have that right. They've also
signaled they're coming from birth control.They want that to be legally. Think
(40:13):
that's an abortivation. They think IUDsare human pesticide and abortivation. I'm not
sure what else they have to dofor Americans to understand the endgame is the
Handmaid's Tale. The Handmaid's Tale,Handmaid's Tale, the Handmaid's Tale. It's
all happening. Soon, you'll beback in the kitchen. It's great insanity
(40:39):
to talk about, but it's importantin the sense that this is going to
get on the ballot in Arizona.Arizona's a swing state. We've been saying
this for how long since they overturnedRoe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision,
that every chance the Democrats have toget this on the ballot, even
(41:04):
if it's already legal in that state, they're going to do it. Well,
what do you mean, Well,they can then codify it. Oh,
it's legal, we're not doing anything. We want to codify it.
We want to put it into ourconstitution. Oh oh yeah. Because it's
a win for them. They knowthere are a lot of single issue voters,
(41:29):
especially young women who tend to beextremely liberal comparatively to young men,
who are going to show up indroves. Here's the problem. Republicans have
shown in Kansas, Ohio, wasOklahoma, several other states that you're thinking,
that's the Bible belt, that's thebuckle of the Bible belt. And
they voted to keep abortion. Ohyeah, yeah, So Republicans are going
(41:57):
to face a lot of issues.Now. I know a lot of people
out there pro life are celebrating this, saying this is good. But here's
my take and my opinion for you, winning elections is important. This is
not a winning election issue for Republicans. And you saying that you're then going
(42:19):
to if somebody comes out because thisis the problem. The messaging is blurry
because Republicans don't know what to dowith it. So Republicans come out and
they say, well, that's whatthey say because they don't know what else
to say. They don't they haveno idea what else to say. Carrie
(42:42):
Lake, perfect example. Not thrilledby this. Carrie Lake, a Trump
ally running for Senate in Arizona,said the ruling is out of step with
Arizona's a shift from two years agowhen she praised a near total ban.
The law would make abortion punishable byup to five years in prison for anyone
who performs the procedure or helps awoman get one. President Biden called the
ruling extreme and dangerous. The courtand it's ruling yesterday delayed enforcement to allow
(43:07):
for any legal challenges in the lowercourts. Yeah, so you had fourteen
days. But well, Carrie Lake, that seems reasonable. Remember this is
what she said when she was runningfor governor. I don't believe in abortion.
I think the older law is goingto take is going to go into
effect. That's what I believe willhappen. I don't think abortion pills should
(43:28):
be legal. We have a greatlaw in the books right now. If
that happens, we will be astate where we will not be taking the
lives of our unborn anymore. I'mincredibly thrilled that we are going to have
a great law that's already on thebooks, so it will prohibit abortion in
Arizona, and I think we're goingto be paving the way and setting course
(43:49):
for other states to follow. Oryou seem to flip floff, of course,
because what seemed like a win thento get you somewhere wasn't. And
in a place that are swing statesArizona, Michigan, Nevada, you need
to make sure that you get everybodyyou can. And you're seeing that other
states and aren't swing states that areRepublican strongholds don't want a total ban.
(44:15):
Think responsibility is fifteen weeks. Theymay not agree with It's what I always
say. A lot of stuff Idon't agree with, a lot of you
don't agree with me. We livein a world where compromise is what you
have to do, and all ornothing is usually nothing. And the problem
that the Republicans have is that they'remessaging yes, but it's also being able
(44:38):
to stand strong on your message anddeliver that message to people who are pro
life. Go ahead and primary me, go ahead and oust me and put
somebody else in who people will viewas extremist and watch them lose. Then
(45:01):
the ninety nine percent of things youagree with me, you don't get any
of that, and the one hundredpercent that you agree with with that person
you never had. Tough, toughindeed, a win for the Democrats and
the media. They can have funwith this and run with this all day.
Handmaid's Tale, et cetera, etcetera. A loss for Republicans until
(45:23):
you figure out how to message thisand get in front of it. If
I'm Republicans, I'm figuring out howto get this on the ballot at fifteen
weeks, which is something we alreadyhad and repeal that eighteen sixty four.
By the way, eighteen sixty four, here's some news from eighteen sixty four.
Sherman's March of the Sea, theBattle of the Wilderness, the Battle
(45:43):
at Petersburg, and the Burning ofAtlanta are a few things that took place
during eighteen sixty four, which,of course, as you guys all know,
there was a war in eighteen sixtyfour. Three two, three,

(47:32):
Ffgreens dot com? Slash Chadroughgreens dotcom slash chat Chad Benson Show. You're
listening to the Chad Benson Show.As to defendant James Cromley, it is
(47:52):
the sense of this court that youserve tens to fifteen years with the Michigan
Department of Directions. Whoa ten tofifteen years? What about his wife?
It is the sense of this court'shomily that you serve ten to fifteen years
with the Michigane Department of Corrections.Now you're thinking, who what this is
the parents of Ethan Crumbley. Youremember him, the kid who killed his
(48:15):
classmates in school. And the bigdebate about whether mom and dad were pretty
much blase about the entire situation thatthey gave him a gun, that they
were texting with him throughout the day, that they kind of knew stuff was
going on, and is this goingto change a lot of stuff when it
(48:36):
comes to parents and their responsibility.When you talk about a precedent, does
it mean all parents now need tobe afraid that if their child commits a
crime that they're going to be chargedto No, but it does mean if
you are grossly negligent, if youdon't provide what the law considers ordinary care,
you absolutely could go to jail,and not just for a little bit,
(48:57):
but for ten to fifteen years inthis case, Yeah, ten to
fifteen years. And he talked aboutthe ordinary care you give your kid,
all of the stuff, because nomatter how hard you try, at some
point there are you know, whatdo you want to call rotten eggs,
bad eggs. My mother did everythingshe could for my sister, I mean
(49:23):
everything, therapy, the whole nineyard stuff. You could not imagine the
amount of money they spent and shestill ended up having tons of issues,
because no matter how hard you try, there's going to be some kids that
it's just not going to work withit. It's not going to get through
to them. Now, Luckily,I think my sister's in a better place
(49:43):
than she's ever been, but she'sin her forties now. But giving that
kid the opportunity to seek help andthings of that nature, paying attention to
those things is extremely important. Ithink that's what they're trying to say here.
And the court's message is your kidhad all kinds of issues, you
(50:04):
seem to ignore all of those issuesand just pass it off as nay.
In this case, what these chargesand these convictions mean is that the Crumbles
weren't just bad parents, they weren'tjust bad gun owners. It is literally
because of their actions that these fourstudents were killed or lack of actions.
(50:25):
We'd never seen this before. Thiswas all uncharted territory, and you thought,
is the legal system going to decidethat they are willing to take this
next step with parents of a schoolshooter not just being chided as bad parents,
but actually held criminally responsible for theirdeaths, And one after another we
(50:45):
got conviction. We've got another conviction, and now we got what could be
the maximum possible sentence for these parents. Is it a one off? Are
you going to come after a momor a dad who did everything in their
power to give their child every therapy, everything that warned everybody that their kid
(51:07):
had issues. I don't think youwill, but you never know. Prosecutors
across the country absolutely are going tobe looking at this, and now know
it is at least possible after amass shooting or a school shooting to look
at the parents and to consider whetheror not they also are responsible for the
(51:28):
deaths of whoever is killed, andyou may do. Here's the other thing
too, and I think this isgoing to come up in some of these
cases, and it's unfortunate that itwill, is the responsible gun ownership.
Because you may give your child everything when it comes to it. I'm
not talking about it stuff spoiling them. I mean every advantage you can give
(51:51):
them when it comes to therapy todo all of the things. But if
you're irresponsible with the way that theguns are held and they're just everywhere,
or you're giving your child a gunknowing full well that they're unstable, well
then that's the issue that they Ithink will be an issue as well.
I think it's going to be gunownership as much it is as parenting.
(52:16):
Now if they get there, ifyou've tried everything and they get the gun
from somebody else and you had younever had a chance, and you've warned
everybody, well you've done your part. But this is definitely I think a
message that people are going to hearthree two, three, five, three
eight, twenty four to twenty threeat Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweet at
US text the program. A lotof you texting in about the abortion ruling
(52:38):
in Arizona. Well, what's theruling if you haven't heard Arizona said,
hey, I know you guys havea fifteen week band. That's what you've
passed. Doug Doocey was governor andhe signed it in the law. Then
the Dobbs decision came down, whichessentially led to the overturning of Roe v.
(52:58):
Wade, which now is to theSupreme Court in Arizona saying hey,
we got a law from one hundredand sixty years ago. We think this
is the one and several of youare pro life, are chiming in.
We're gonna get to that several ofyou who are pro life but also live
in a world of reality. We'regonna get to some of those texts as
(53:22):
well. You can text the programalways three two three, five, three
eight, twenty four, twenty threeat Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter?
Speaking of that, somebody said youyou never take calls. I don't.
I don't take calls because we movefast on the show. It's just
something we don't do. You canleave a message and if it's not insane,
(53:44):
there's a chance that's gonna get played. If it is insane, there's
a one hundred percent chance it's goingto get played. But you can leave
a message at the text line aswell. Three two three, five three
eight, twenty four, twenty three. More on this. We got woke
stuff, a bunch of other stuff. Straight ahead. It is the Chad
Benson Show, Sun, Chad BensonShow, Independent Thoughts, independent life.
(54:30):
This is Chad Benson. We'll getback in a little bit to the ruling
of eighteen sixty four and abortion thatArizona decided to uphold. Yes or name
by Arizona, I mean the SupremeCourt justices, the State Supreme Court justices
upheld. Before we do any ofthat, though, let's not forget it
is Wednesday and we gotta go walk. Buckle up, everybody, It's time
(54:51):
to talk about my pronouns. Whenbabies are born, the doctor looks at
them and they make a guess aboutwhether the baby is a boy or girl.
Sometimes the doctor is wrong. Neverlucy is ahs are the pronoun they
them they There was two of themabout me yesterday. I came out of
(55:12):
family. So let's go rock frockspronouns. That sounds so cool. Let
me introduce you to our non binarypodcast. I am non binary and I
use they them pronouns. And mystudents know this. We just came up
with new words that fit us better. It's fine. What if I want
to be called Sir Elton John.It's time for woke Wednesday. Where do
(55:34):
we start? How about in school? The poly teacher. I pride myself
on being a teacher who's very openabout her life. And one of the
things I'm very open about is mysexuality. I have a trans flag,
a by flag, and on binaryflag all on my desk at my work.
But there's one thing I'm not openabout and it's being Polly, and
today that actually became something I hadto worry about for the first time.
See, the kids are interviewing usteachers as a part of learning how to
(55:55):
write profiles. And one of thekids on Tuesday is going to ask me
if I have a partner, andthe answer is yeah, and I have
another one too. Oh, Isee see again this is in your school.
I just it is so bizarre.It is so I never ever knew
(56:15):
the sexuality of my teachers. DidI have gay teachers? Yeah, looking
back on it now, we knowthat a couple of the teachers that I
that I had were gay. Didn'tmatter because it never came up. Was
never we we I didn't even knowif they were married. Well, especially
when I was younger, it didn'tmatter. I'm still trying to figure out
(56:37):
how to spell, for God's sakes, your pronouns. Unless the word your
and pronoun is part of my spellingassignment, I don't care. And I
don't know how to handle that conversationbecause while I know that the kids are
more accepting of things like homosexuality,bisexuality, all of that, pollyamory is
not in the conversation and I worrynot only would this be something that my
(57:00):
lead to rumors that I am cheatingon my partner or that I am a
swinger or something like that, butwould also just totally derail the class.
Here's something. So you put upthe bisexuality thing, and then you put
up your trans thing, and thenyou put up whatever other flags you talked
about. You're worried that your kidswill think you're a swinger. Like if
(57:22):
your teacher, like the kids,if you're listening to this, maybe should
you know, not pay attention ormaybe laugh. It's not gonna be rude.
But if you go in and yourteacher has pineapples everywhere, know that
something's up. I'm just I'm lettingyou guys. That's the code for swinging.
I'm just letting you know. Sothe obvious answer, the one that
I went to first, is I'mnot going to talk about it. But
(57:44):
that feels wrong too. I don'tlike lying to my students. That feels
super super gross, right, SoI guess what tentatively have decided is answer
the question honestly say, while Idon't feel comfortable talking about who I'm in
a relationship with, I will saythat I am bisexual. I've dated people
with many different genders. And ifwe're willing, if you're interested to talk
about that for my own specific relationshipthat you're really really insistent, well,
(58:06):
let's just not do it in theclassroom setting and we can do it like
in lunch or in the after schoolGSA club or something like that. I
like this. This is an uncomfortablesituation, kids. I don't really want
to talk about it in classroom.Now, if you guys want to meet
at lunch, I'll share all kindsof stuff with you. Just so ridiculous.
That's at a school near you.Speaking of ridiculous, the department of
(58:27):
the Interior, You guys ready forpoetry. This DEI poetry and now we
would like to share a poem entitledIM diversity story behind this is We discovered
this several years ago when we weredesigning a diversity Change Agent poetry forum,
and that we were so moved byit. We since decided to incorporate that
(58:52):
and really resonates and it echoes alot of the themes that we learned about
this week. What you're about tosee is a video of boem Investing employees
who participated in a recording and arecitation of this poem. Okay, so
what's the Department of Interior? Theyprotect our natural resource? Sting of it
like that. Okay, it's thebest way to throw that out there.
(59:14):
Now. This apparently this is apoem that they that they that they read.
They're on a zoom meeting and you'relike, you know what, guys,
we could talk about protecting our naturalresources, our parks, our land
or water on your poem. First, I am diversity. Please include me.
I'm present in every place you go, depending on your lens. I'm
(59:37):
friend or foe. Like the windshave change, I move. I'm not
limited to age, gender, orrace. Don't exclude me due to a
lot of knowledge. Yelk of melike the recruit fresh out of college.
Let me take my seat at thetable. Even though I may be differently
able, I exclude no one.I am strengthened by all. My name
(59:58):
is diversity, and yes I standtall. I thought we were talking about
are the you know, the parks, the stuff, the thing you know,
like the natural resources? No,no, no, we're talking diversity.
Continue. I stand out in thecrowd. When I diversity, I'm
(01:00:19):
allowed to be unmasked. I amdiversity in Brakeley and will journey far.
Our diversity include me, and wewill reach the shining star. Coupled with
inclusions, our lights burn longer.Together, we are smarter, better,
and stronger. I am yeah,Yes, that's me. I'm not crying.
(01:00:43):
You are so One person said,yeah, I'm crying too. So
your money's going Folks, our parks, they're not protected, but diverse as
hell. I don't know what tosay at that point three two, three,
(01:01:04):
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenson shows your Twitter tweet at us
text the program. If you haven'theard abortion totally illegal since eighteen sixty four
here in Arizona. Apparently there wasa law that was pre date statehood in
Arizona. We're talking Civil War timesone hundred and sixty years ago, and
the Supreme Court of Arizona said,hey, we're going to keep this thing
(01:01:27):
because we feel it's just about right. And if you want an abortion,
you're gonna have to get dragged bya horse through town. Why people throw
fruit at you? I don't It'sridiculous. I'm going to get more into
it next hour, and how thisreally hurts Republicans, helps Democrats and continues
to be a divisive topic that Republicansbetter figure out how to deal with or
(01:01:52):
else it is going to continue tobe a nightmare. And they've seen election
after election it play out a certainway that doesn't benefit them. Other big
news of the day inflation. What'sgoing on with inflation? I've heard of.
Inflation is something bad happening. Ifyou're worried about how high your credit
(01:02:13):
card APR is, or you're waitingto buy a home until mortgage rates come
down, you might have to waita little bit longer after today's report.
And that's because inflation is climbing fasterthan expected, up point four percent between
February and March, up three anda half percent from a year ago.
Yes, inflation is not cooling.And remember this is the rate of inflation,
(01:02:37):
so the rate of the growth.They want to keep it right around

Chad Benson Show, hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.
(01:04:41):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory andI can't get out the Chad Benson Show.
Every day. Yeah, yes,I ache. No, I ache
every day. And I prefer warmand human and hot. And I were
getting some thunderstorms. At least it'llbe hot. It won't be like last
year. That right there, TigerWoods talking about the Masters he's playing in.
(01:05:08):
It said, I heard every day, obviously the car crash. Even
when you watch him now he's gota gate. You know he's got this
limp in his gait, and youknow he he hurts every single day.
Hey, it's just nothing about it. Where As you get older, you
hurt. Trust me. I knowthere was playing pig a ball yesterday and
(01:05:31):
it's a good mix of people.You've got some people that are older,
you know, in their seventies andeighties, and they're just out there for
exercise, and then you got somepeople in your twenties and thirties, and
it's a good mix. And Iwas joking with a guy yesterday. I
said, you should have laid outfor that one. He said, if
I laid out for that one,I'm not getting up. Are you going
to carry me out of here?And I'm like, no, no,
I'm not. I totally understand that. I think it's well, it's consistency,
(01:05:56):
it's longevity, and it's a understandingof how to play this golf course.
Yes's one of the reason why yousee players that are in their fifties
and sixties make cuts here, orplayers in their late late forties have runs
at winning the event. It's juston the understanding of how to play it.
(01:06:16):
Now you still have to go outand execute it, but there's a
lot of knowledge that goes into understandinghow to play it. Can he win?
Knowledge of the course is a hugehelp for the masters. But can
he win? Is he confident hecan win? Are you going to be?
You know? One of the thingsI'm surprised watching it is how much
(01:06:39):
he still loves golf. And Ithink part of that is for for anybody
in any situation you're listening to thisand something that you love that maybe you
aren't in love with as much asyou once were potentially goes away and then
you realize how much you love it. But he was asked, because he's
(01:07:00):
such a competitor, can you win? Can you still win? Are you
just doing the thing? I stillthink they can. So I don't know
when that day is, when thatday comes, but I still think that
I can. I haven't gotten tothat point where I don't think I can't.
We'll find out. I think he'sone hundred to one to make the
(01:07:23):
cut. It's not bad. Knowledgeof the course is important. Three two,
three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Show. Is your Twittertweet at as text the program. I
love hearing from all of you.This is interesting. I don't know if
you guys remember this. We didthis a while ago, but it's trending
again. Out there. I hatewhen people say that wheelchairs are only for
(01:07:45):
people who need them, because whenthey say that, what they mean is
wheelchair users are for people who areparalyzed, but not everyone who is a
wheelchair user, who uses a wheelchair, who needs a wheelchair is paralyzed.
Because if you're gonna do away withwheelchairs for anyone who has the physical ability
to stand for like a couple seconds, I think we should do away with
(01:08:08):
strollers because toddlers can stand, theycan walk, They can walk pretty far.
Actually, if you hold their hand, they can get around fine.
Yeah, that lady a larger lady. I used to call them fatty caps.
Wait I still do. I wastelling Anthony because there's there's a guy
that's doing a comment on it.That's why it's training but adult. Anthony
(01:08:28):
answer to pritish Anthea, I said, people who are extra large who need
to ride around on those little things, we should make them park further away
with a bigger space. Right.That's not very nice. Jed, some
adults need strollers too, and thatstroller is a wheelchair, So get the
over it. We're not in amass wheelchair shortage. Okay, what is
(01:08:50):
your commitment to making disabled people andfat people suffer. Life sucks, okay,
And if it makes a difference betweenyou going outside and not going outside,
use the wheelchair and go outside.If you actually cared about people's health,
you would stop discrediting that. AndI bring that up because General Mills
(01:09:10):
is getting blasted again because more andmore is coming out. Last week,
we touched on on a few dayson the fact that addiction is what so
many of these companies are into addictionof food. They're paying influencer who are
fat positive, body positive things likethat to post the anti diet stuff like
anti diet, don't diet, You'refine the way you are. You need
(01:09:33):
a wheelchair because you can't walk.You've eaten yourself into a wheelchair. Dietitian
Jacob May about the anti diet push. You know, so, I'm a
dietitian scientist, and I work ata research center where our whole goal is
to translate this information about nutrition fromcells out to society, and so we
(01:09:56):
want people to understand that best informationabout what food can and do to help
them with their health. The problemwith this anti diet trend is that it
transitions away and says, hey,listen to your internal hunger. Well,
we know very clearly, just dueto the obesitie issue that we have worldwide,
that if people are listening to theirinternal hunger in the food environment environment
we have, that's leading to unhealthyweight gain and an unhealthy lifestyle. So
(01:10:20):
it's very important to separate the disconnectbetween nutrition advice that is going to help
people move forward with their health towardssitting back and just saying anti diet.
You know, certainly you shouldn't havestigma because of obesity, but that doesn't
mean you don't need to address it. You can have a positive body self
image and still want to address concernsor struggles with obesity. I love that
(01:10:43):
there. You could still say,hey, you could be positive about like
I like who I am as aperson. I need to lose weight.
I need to do it for health. I needed I need to do this
right like I need to I wantto be around longer for my kids or
whatever. I mean, you cando that, but that's not what's happening.
Certainly, some of the outstanding positiveaspects to this are reducing our obesity
(01:11:06):
bias and stigma in healthcare. Peopleshouldn't feel shame or fear of eating just
because they're struggling with obesity. Theyshouldn't be treated differently just because they're struggling
with obesity. And that is oneof the great positives about this anti diet
activism is it's moving away from thestigma that we have that's inherent to obesity
(01:11:29):
that's been in our culture for somany years. On the other hand,
these anti diet people aren't pushing youcan be healthy if you lose weight.
They're not pushing that. What they'repushing is it's okay that you're four hundred
pounds and you need a wheelchair.You need to be positive about yourself.
Well, no, we shouldn't shamecertain people. Some people deserve the shame.
(01:11:54):
Let's be real. If you're yellingat me because you're in a wheelchair
and you think that toddlers shouldn't beinside of a stroller, you're you're a
fool. You're in a wheelchair becauseyou ate yourself. There. Bill Maher
said it best. I'm gonna usehis line here. Right, you ate
your way into this, you canwalk your way out. So I think
(01:12:16):
it's differentiating between Hey, you canbe positive about who you are as a
person, but also have an understandingof I need to get healthy. But
this anti diet movement isn't about health. They're trying to tell you that being
four hundred pounds is totally fine,and you and I both know it's not
unless you're twelve feet tall. Threetwo three, five three eight, twenty
(01:12:40):
four to twenty three at Chad BensonShow's your Twitter tweet? At is texta
program? You miss? Any show? Grad the podcast Chad Benson Show.
This is the Chad Benson Show,Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, This is
(01:13:15):
Chad Benson. What Arizona Supreme Courtsaid is a law that was written in
eighteen sixty four, before Arizona waseven a state. The country was dealing
with the Civil War at that time, one hundred and sixty years ago.
That a law that was written thatbans all abortions except to save the life
of a mother. That is thelaw of the land. It was never
repealed. That is what is enforceablein Arizona, not a newer interpretation of
(01:13:39):
the law, which is a fifteenweek ban in the state. So at
this point, Arizona Supreme Court sayingthe law goes back to eighteen sixty four,
that is the law, the lawof the land. The acronym ABE
is going to be the most importantthings going forward for the selection abortion border
economy. Now you may have itin a different way, right, it
(01:14:02):
may be border economy abortion, soyou know that bay, but ABE is
important. If I'm the Republicans,I'm doing everything today to go, Okay,
how do we repeal this law?Make sure that the fifteen weeks stays
in place? How do we repealthis law? What do we need to
do? How do we repeal thislaw? What do we do? How
do we do it? What dowe do? This is not good for
(01:14:27):
us the Republicans, now pro lifeis cheering this on. They're excited,
right, they feel like we gotto win. We've got to win.
This is a win, is itthough? Is it a win? You
have to ask yourself what's your win? If you're a politician, you only
(01:14:51):
care about keeping your position. Politiciansanymore, they don't do things based on
how they feel what they know isright. They do things based on what
does the public think I should doso I could continue to keep my power.
(01:15:12):
And the Republicans are looking at thetea leaves, right, They're sticking
their finger in the air and they'rethinking, man, we've got our ass
kicks over the last several of thesevotes across the country. No, this
is an issue. This is anissue, this whole Dobbs decision, Roe
v. Wade, This was nota win for us. It was a
win for a group of people.In their mind, we won pro life.
(01:15:32):
We're protecting the sanctity of life.We can't diminish that. But in
the political and let's separate the twopolitics and the issue. Politicians care about
Politicians they care about holding onto power, they care about keeping their gig,
(01:15:55):
they care about raising money, theycare about things like that. The issue,
this instance, pro life. Youhave to separate those because it got
into the world of politics. Andonce it gets into politics, politicians are
going to figure out, well,what's the best thing for me? And
right now they're looking around, goingthis ain't good. The whole Roe v.
Waite thing. You guys wanted itgone great? Now what Well,
(01:16:19):
since it's been gone back to theStates, what has happened. We've gotten
our asses kicked in places that we'vewon before and places that were supposedly the
Bible belt, the buckle of theBible belt have signaled they don't want to
get rid of choice. This isa direct result of Dobs ushering in laws
that women had no say in thatwill render them on equal citizens, onable
(01:16:41):
to have a kind of medical carethat they and their doctors conclude as necessary.
Maybe killing Chad's throwing it out there. If I'm Republicans, I'm not
looking at this as a pro lifething. I'm looking at this as a
political thing. What is my strategyhere? Strategy number one? Today,
you go, all right, here'sthe deal. They're going to raise a
craft ton of money. They're goingto use this in every way, shape
(01:17:01):
or form. They're going to makesure it's on every ballot. That's what
they've been talking about doing. Andthat's the smart thing to do. That's
what I would do. First thingwe need to do here is repeal this
eighteen billion year old law one hundredand sixty years eighteen sixty four. For
God's sakes, we need to repealthis asap because otherwise it is going to
(01:17:24):
be potentially an anchor around our neckin a whirlpool. But as a political
matter, this could not be moreof a disaster for the Republican Party.
Yesterday, Donald Trump say, well, it's up to the people in the
states decide. Let the states decide. Well, here you find what happens
when you let the states decide andFlorida a six week ban is in place.
(01:17:46):
I guarantee you in both those statesif you put that on the ballot,
and they will be on the ballotin the form of initiatives, that
a majority of voters in those statesdo not agree with those policies. So
I think what this does is itputs a battleground state more in the leaning
D column than the leaning ARE column. Because I think there's going to be
(01:18:08):
a massive turnout in November for aconstitutional amendment in the state of Arizona,
because the voters of Arizona now havea demonstration of the fragility of abortion rights
in the post Dobbs era. Ithink this is an earthquake. Those electoral
votes in Arizona could be the onesthat tip this election. It is possible.
(01:18:31):
And the celebration going on by theDemocrats right now politicians, not the
individuals. And again let's separate everything. Politicians care about the issue and how
it works well for them or againstthem. The people we care about the
outcome of the issue and how itaffects us. So you have to separate
(01:18:53):
the two. All right, I'mgetting you out. I'm getting you out
picking up when I'm throwing down.So if I'm the Republicans, I do
everything I can to repeal this law. You've got a slim, slim majority.
You could do it. It's asmart thing to do. You already
(01:19:14):
have in place fifteen weeks, whichis reasonable. I mean, everybody always
touts Europe it's a progressive, anamazing thing. They are really good and
one and they have fifteen weeks,like they just been trying that in the
constitution in France. So like fifteenweeks is fine. After that's a kid,
baby. So here is what youdo. You get your butt out
there and you make sure that ifyou're a Republican, you're doing everything you
(01:19:38):
can to repeal this thing and keepthe fifteen weeks in place. It's gonna
be on the ballot. You wantto try to do everything you can.
Here's the funny thing. Republicans orpro life people don't want to hear this
when given the choice, and they'reseeing this in other states, right,
you know, you go through Kansasand Oklahoma and Ohio. When given the
opportunity to get rid of it alltogether through ballot initiatives. You're finding out
(01:20:02):
that Nope, people are pro choice. Here's the thing for pro choice people.
When given the opportunity to have ablanket abortion whenever you want, on
demand, Guess what, That's notwhat people want. They want something reasonable.
I think Bill Clinton said it best, safe, legal, and rare.
(01:20:28):
Oh yeah, Chris mays The Ageof Arizona today on MSNBC. Something
she has told me before. Whenthis first battle started happening right after Roe
v. Wade and Dobbs, andeverybody was trying to figure out what was
going on because here in Arizona,Doocey, who was the former governor,
he had already signed a build thatsaid fifteen weeks. And then when Roe
(01:20:54):
v. Wade went away because ofthe Dobs case, what ended up happening
was everybody was confused about was itis the one from one hundred and you
know, sixty years ago? Whichone are we going with? So when
we spoke to Agmas when I wasdoing a lot of local stuff here,
she told me, yeah, we'renot prosecuting anybody yesterday, women and men,
(01:21:15):
Republicans, Independents, Democrats woke upto a situation in which the Arizona
Supreme Court reimposed this eighteen sixty fourban. It's insane, it's egregious,
it's an uffront to our freedom,and so you know, I think women
(01:21:35):
are scrambling right now to try tofigure this situation out. I have said
that I will not prosecute any woman, doctor, pharmacist, nurse, or
individual who helps a woman to seekan abortion or reproductive access. I've also
said that we are going to weare looking for at everything we can right
(01:21:57):
now from a legal standpoint to preventthe decision from going into effect. And
I've had some phone calls from myfellow attorneys general in states around Arizona,
and frankly from throughout the state,and the Vice President of the United States
calling me saying, hey, howcan we help you? Well, you're
not quite sure what you said,because well, we're going to play some
(01:22:19):
words salid later and that should sumit all up. Republicans get in front
of this. You have to stillabout winning elections, and you've been struggling
with that. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

three eight, twenty four to twentythree at Chad Benson Show, Is Your
Twitter Tweet? At as Texted Program? A lot of woke stuff coming up.
More on uh Uri Berliner, theNPR editor who wrote a piece yesterday
(01:29:30):
and we touched on it briefly yesterday, said we're going to get to it
today, and we have been abouthow NPR lost its way and how it
became essentially an echo chamber for theliberals to a point where it was ridiculous.
The news room in DC eighty seveneditors, eighty seven Democrats, zero
(01:29:53):
Republicans. And there's some people inthe NPR world who are pushing back on
that. It's hard to push back. You know, if it was seventy
Democrats and seventeen Republicans, you couldsay it's it's skewed, but at least
you've got some representation zero. It'shard to push back that there's not a
(01:30:15):
slant at zero. Talk about that. A lot of other stuff to get
through. Three two, three,five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show isyour Twitter tweet at us text the program.
It's Chad Benson Show, Such ChadBenson Show, Independent Thoughts, independent
(01:30:59):
life. This is Chad Benson.It's that time of the week where we
get you woke. Greg Queens.Not only are they act hurting our kids,
Greg, which make everything better?Gregquens are fine. Just my gender
is a complete nightmare. You atrans woman, get breastfeet and this is
great news. No, no,no, no no, there's something I
need to tell you. The princesswho came to your ball tonight with me,
(01:31:21):
I'm Gonzarella. That's the one whereHarry waves the magic wand and turns
everybody back to their select gender.Miss Danny. You can't speculate about someone's
sexuality unless they're famous or Peverman.Patty. It's time for woke Wednesday.
That is Wednesday. We get wokeevery Wednesday. Just have fun with wackiness
(01:31:42):
like this. I look like awoman and I'm not wearing any makeup.
I'm not using any filters. Youwill look a man, You'll never be
a woman. Look at me,I'm already succeeding as being a woman.
This is what I look like.This is pretty damning evidence against me being
a man. I just look likethis and I look like a woman,
and that's the end of the story. An you'll never be a woman.
(01:32:03):
Look at me. We've looked atyou and fooling nobody is what we're trying
to say. There not a soul. Hey remember that movie, uh,
Jurassic Park, that's about trans WhyJurassic Park is a trans film? You
want to know when the movie aboutdinosaurs that inexplicably change sexes so that they
can start breeding again. Because naturefinds a way a movie made in the
(01:32:27):
early nineties where they had to explainthat concept in a way that made sense
for the film because it was surprising. It was meant to be the twist
and even by modern standards, unnecessarybecause nature does find a way. Like
if overnight our society went to allwomen, nature would find a way.
Humans wouldn't stop existing, Yeah,they would. How many times we've seen
(01:32:51):
that. That's no, nature wouldfind a way. Well, you'll need
men to keep up with the world. Otherwise things go to hell in a
handbasket and fall apart. So thereis that so bizarre, Like you know
what's funny? Whenever I hear stufflike that about you know, if we
got rid of men. I neverhear of like you know, if we
(01:33:12):
got rid of women, because guysdon't feel that way, they don't continue
trans Jurassic Park. Guy, God, that's kind of the whole point of
the movie, as Nature finds away. It's all about shirking off strict
binaries and strict restraints and strict waysof thinking and saying not real you're a
(01:33:32):
dude, bro or who is amental illness doesn't make that fact go away,
and that scares a lot of people. So Jurassic Park is a trans
film because those dinosaurs, a bunchof them have technically gone from one sex
to another. Yeah, and they'rethinking about that as well. Nature finds
a way. You are insane.Meanwhile, in school, my creative insights
(01:33:57):
said, you guys want to hearabout pronouns. So my pronouncer heathing,
this is my pride flag. Ithink pronouns are really important because while labels
don't always have to define you,some if you guys find it important,
what is important to you is what'simportant to Q, right, So one
thing I find it really important forstudents and for anyone that is in the
(01:34:17):
LGBT community is be able to identifywho you are so you can find better
ways to express yourself. Okay,better ways to express yourself. Labels don't
define you, or should they bythe way you choosing you know, your
gay, your your LGBTQ plus Ia barbecue, whatever it is you you.
(01:34:38):
That's not a personality trait. That'sjust whatever you're choosing to be at
that moment of time. And Ido think that it's that moment of time
that is not a personality trade.I just want to point that out to
a lot of people out there.That's very important. Pronouns and stuff to
them as if that's part of thepersonality trade. That's not. Your happiness
is what matters, because you arewhat matters. You are your ow main
(01:34:59):
care. Right, It's really importantto have pronouns. Do some people can
find who they are and identify themselvesas they would like to be because who
you are is who you are.You know, your happiness is what matters.
Your joy is your joy. Yeah, pronouns are just descriptors. It's
fine, just descriptors. Here comestall day, Well, I'm describing they're
(01:35:26):
tall. They tall? Oh,lunacy abe we talked about it earlier.
Abortion, border, and economy thebig things in this coming election. Abortion
yesterday big news in Arizona. Antiabortion rights groups are celebrating this decision,
(01:35:48):
insisting that it protects the lives ofcountless unborn children. The justices in Arizona
have now put this ruling on holdfor fourteen days, so abortion clinics in
that state tell us that they stillplan to continue to provide their services for
a short period of time for ashort period of time, although ag Mays
has said she's not prosecuting anybody hwhen it comes to this, but one
(01:36:09):
hundred and sixty years, Really,Republicans, you need to get in front
of this asap. Seven states,abortion rights activists are going to do everything
they can to the choice people toget abortion on any ballot that they think
(01:36:30):
can swing a state. And ofthe seven states that matter that will decide
this next election, Arizona being oneof them, and we know what's happened
there. That is, if you'rea Republican, you better figure it out.
Then you've got the border. SendingMajority Leader Chuck Shimber says there are
no charges in the House complaint thatrise to the level of impeaching. Homeland
(01:36:53):
Security Secretary A. Ljandra mayorcis,we're going to move forward and resolve this
as quickly as pible. Once again, impeachment should never be used to settle
policy disagreements. Senate Republicans are pushingfor a trial. Multiple Senate Democrats say
they expect there will be a voteto either table to trial or dismiss it
all together. Waste of Time's notgetting us anywhere. He gets his marching
(01:37:16):
orders from above. I think weall recognize that. But border is going
to be an issue, the amountof people coming here. And by the
way, if you've not seen thelatest polls, we'll dig into it a
little bit tomorrow. Latinos, asthey'd like to say, I call them
Americans, but uh, guess whatthey want? A strong border and it's
(01:37:39):
overwhelming. They're not happy about what'shappening. Oh really, yeah, read
the room. That's what people want. We want a strong border. And
a strong border doesn't mean don't letanybody in. It just means don't let
people in illegally. And finally,of my ABE agreement, remember abortion,
(01:38:00):
border and economy economy, Americans paidmore overall for consumer goods and services in
March, according to the federal government, the Consumer Price Index taking up point
four percent, more than the pointthree percent increased analysts had expected. The
twelve month inflation rate now at threeand a half percent, driving the CPI
higher housing and energy costs, whilefood prices and the cost of medical care
(01:38:21):
were only slightly more expensive. Abright spot for consumer prices, the cost
of used cars went down one pointone percent, So that's good. By
the way, one of the otherdrivers of that doesn't get talked about,
car insurance is through the roof.It is through the roof. It is
(01:38:42):
one of the drivers of inflation.But inflation is up again, meaning the
Feds are going to go probably notgoing to lower rates. You're also probably
gonna see rates stay higher. Meaningwhen you go to borrow, whether it's
on your credit card, or whetheryou're trying to buy a home, or
whether you're going out there and sayingto yourself self, I'd like to buy
a used car a new car,those rates are going to be higher.

The Chat Benson Show. To thepeople across Arizona who are concerned about the
future of abortion rights in our state, who are worried about their bodily autonomy,
who don't want to see the freedomof their wives, sisters, and
daughters restricted. You can make yourconcerns known at the ballot box, and
I encourage you to do so.Oh Governor Hobbes Arizona nightmare for Republicans.
(01:41:41):
So yesterday, touched on it earliertoday quick snapshot. Supreme Court in Arizona
said, hey, the law ofthe land in Arizona because they had passed
a bill saying fifteen weeks then whenDobbs went away. We'll touch on that
in a second. You know,the Dobbs issue that came down that eventually
(01:42:03):
eliminated Roe v. Wade. Oncethat happened, Arizona had an issue.
They already had a law. WhatYeah, they had a law in place
already from one hundred and sixty yearsago. It is a near total abortion
ban with one exception to save thelife of the pregnant person. But the
(01:42:27):
law carries penalties of somewhere between twoand five years for doctors who violated.
So no doctor is going to risk, you know, their life liberty,
professional license on the hope that theycan convince a jury and a prosecutor that
yes, actually an abortion was necessaryto save the life of the pregnant person.
You know, there are no exceptionsfor rape or incest. One hundred
(01:42:51):
and sixty years ago that like,this was pre state. This was pre
state. And I said the otherday Trump needs to be more forceful.
Several of you have chimed in ofthe last couple days. You're right about
Trump's announcement. It was weak.Follow the Lindsey Grahams of the world and
kiss the GOP goodbye. Too muchsports talk. Sorry about that. I
enjoy sports and the analogy is alwaysgood. I thought it was weak as
(01:43:15):
well. And this is going tohurt Republicans at the ballot. Remember this,
Arizona is a swing state. Chaos, craziness, all of the stuff.
Everybody's already gone. We got tofigure this out. Some Republicans appear
to be distancing themselves from a rulingby Arizona's Supreme Court, which yesterday ruled
Arizona must adhere to a law datingback to eighteen sixty four, before Arizona
(01:43:39):
was a state. The law bansabortion from the moment of conception, except
when it's necessary to save the mother'slife. Arizona Congressman Want Siscomani, a
Republican who previously voted to restrict accessto abortion, called the ruling a disaster
for women and providers. Yeah,and again, swing state. What have
I been telling you, guys?Seven states matter? Follow them. Abortion
(01:44:02):
is something they're going to try toget on every ballot. They possibly can,
because they know there are certain peoplethat are one issue voters. They
tend to be super progressive and they'regoing to show up. And is that
going to be an issue for Republicans? What about Carry Lake? She's running
for senate here. How does shefeel about it? Carrie Lake, a
Trump ally running for Senate in Arizona, said the ruling is out of step
(01:44:26):
with Arizona's a shift from two yearsago when she praised a near total ban.
The law would make abortion punishable byup to five years in prison for
anyone who performs the procedure or helpsa woman get one. President Biden calls
the ruling extreme and dangerous. Thecourt, in its ruling yesterday, delayed
enforcement to allow for any legal challengesin the lower courts. Well, Carrie,
is that true? Did you reallyflip flop? I don't believe in
(01:44:49):
abortion. I think the older lawis going to take is going to go
into effect. That's what I believewill happen. I don't think abortion pills
should be legal. Have a greatlaw on the books right now. If
that happens, we will be astate where we will not be taking the
lives of our unborn anymore. I'mincredibly thrilled that we are going to have
(01:45:11):
a great law that's already on thebooks, so it will prohibit abortion in
Arizona, and I think we're goingto be paving the way and setting course
for other states to follow. Whythe flip flop Because Republicans, while they
don't know how to talk about abortion, they do know how to read the
tea leaves and say this isn't goodfor us, This isn't good for us,
(01:45:35):
and they understand that. They understandat the ballot box, which is
all that matters winning elections. Remember, for these people, it's about winning
elections that you're trying to please toomany people, the pro life people that
are celebrating this, understand while youcelebrate this, this hurts the party that
(01:46:00):
helped you in theory get there.And if that party continues to lose elections,
all of the good work that you'vedone in your celebrating will eventually go
away. Oh yeah, three,two, three, five, three,
eight, twenty four, twenty threeAt Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweet at
as texta program, Joy Reid's losther mind. But you guys knew that
(01:46:25):
states are passing laws to make itharder for women to get access to things
like education and grants and business grants, trying to drive women back into the
kitchen and then saying you also can'tcontrol your own reproduction. Women, Wake
up when a war is being wagedupon you. You are at war,
whether you want to be at ornot. And the Republican Party has openly
(01:46:45):
declared war on women. Wake up. Wow. First of all, when
I saw this, I looked atthe comments, and the comments were,
she's nuts, she's in. Thiswas on MSNBC's site. She's crazy,
she's nuts, she's loony. Where'sthat? Where are any of these things?
Now, we could talk about theabortion thing, We've just talked about
(01:47:08):
that, but when it comes tothe education side of stuff and small business,
that is hilarious. It is sowake up because the war is on.
It hasn't always been this way.That's why today, as we in
the show, I want to giveyou the little stupid info that you need
to know to impress your friends.Now it's time for stupid information. And
(01:47:36):
the reason I say that as wefinished the show, because there was I
don't gonna say a war on women. It was just a different time.
Did you know, and this issomething I don't think many people know,
but you're going to learn this.A woman was elected to Congress before she
had the right to vote. SoAugust twenty sixth, nineteen twenty US Secretary
(01:47:57):
of State Bainbridge Colby certified the nineteenthAmendment giving the women the right to vote.
But there was another situation that happenedtwo years prior. That's right,
lady by the name of Rankin fromMontana. Who what there was? Who?
(01:48:18):
Jeanette Rankin Montana actually ran for oneof the states two House seats and
won. The election of Rankin wasthe first woman ever elected to federal government.
That was a bright spot in Americanhistory, made dimmer by her misogyny.
Welcome in Washington, Rankin didn't takeher rightful seat in the Chamber until
April second, nineteen seventeen, dueto a month long debate about whether it
(01:48:40):
was appropriate for a woman to bea US representative. Even though Montana had
clearly already decided the matter, thecountry still had a long way to go
to achieve gender party parody in thenation's legislative branch, but twenty eight percent
of the members the current Congress arewomen, it's the largest in history.
Little information goes a long way,Janet Rakin, so think about that for
(01:49:03):
a second. Solid fun show today. We got you over the hump.
We made you aware of all thewoke and whacking us out there. We'll
do it again tomorrow as always,Night night Jack. This is the Chad
Benson Show.
