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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The books are out. The cover ups bigger than we thought.
When it comes to Biden. Oh my, oh my. I
saw several people say this is worse than Watergate. You
know what, it's up there. It is up there, apps
of freaking lutely. So where do we begin today? How

(00:37):
about fake town halls?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
What?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
And Alex the fact of the fake town hall is
not actually the worst part of the story that you
report in the book.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
Yes, other campaigns have used fake town halls. Now, I
would say those town halls usually are in addition to
real town halls. Joe Biden was doing neither. This fake
town hall was in order to film it so they
can make it into campaign commercials.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
They filmed it.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
They filmed it in Delaware with supporters, but Joe Biden.
At this point, this is the spring of twenty twenty four.
Joe Biden's town hall was so bad that campaign officials
determined that it was not usable for a campaign commercial.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Think about that for a second. I want you guys
to think about that. It's a commercial. This isn't a
rock star who shows up hammered to do one of
those perfume commercials. Right where he's in the desert and
that's all filled in CPA and he looks at a
lizard and he's like baduh, you know, is it one

(01:33):
of those things where he's so drunk he can't even
stand up.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
No, this is the president of the United States, the
man who's got the nuclear codes, who does a fake
town hall.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
And that's too much for him and people around him like, yeah,
we got to hide this. No, people around you need
to be investigated for lying to the American people.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Ninety minutes, two hours out of the president's day, they
filmed an entire town hall and they determined that it
was not useful. Now, some people say this was because
Joe Biden was incoherent, he could not really articulate his
thoughts in epithy or even semi normal way.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Some people just said, like, the lighting was bad.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
That was sort of the two points of view. But
the point is it shows like what the campaign's status
was in the spring of twenty twenty four when they
were trying to deal.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
With a candidate that wasn't the climb.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Dumpster fire. The lighting was too bad? Do you really
buy that? Wait till that footage gets out.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Wait, someone told you the lighting was bad.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
That's one of you. You're saying that they spent millions
of dollars to stage a town hall. Well, we didn't
get the lighting right.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
That was one of the excuses.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Unbelievable, And this comes back to the question of how
many people were aware of things like that?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So many people, and those people need to be investigated.
You lied to the American people, nameless faceless people who
propped up a guy who, as we know now was
not only incoherent, but also in a position where he

(03:18):
shouldn't have been governing the globe. Hell, he shouldn't even
have been driving a car that god he wasn't. And
every one of us who said this, what do we
get right wing talking points? Ched awful? Chad, You're a liar, Chad,

(03:40):
all of the things of how bad So Alex Thompson
there is the only one who had the cojones enough
to go out there and do this. And I'm bringing
this up because I want everybody to understand. You want
to know why nobody trusts the media stuff like this.
You want to know why nobody trust them because for

(04:03):
the last two plus years, the former president was in
such a bad way that they had to make his
circle way smaller and hide everything from the American people.

(04:28):
You don't think that is a story, because some people
are like, ah, it's not a story anymore, let's move on. No, no, no,
no again. This is not about Joe and his health. Now.
This is about the cover up, the lies and the
people inside who need to be investigated. And if you
want to know where they are, chances are you can

(04:49):
go find them, probably on K Street, which is where
all the lobbyists are, or on some sort of large
board somewhere making a ton of money from some big
company that they helped get crapped through.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
This is.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Insane. When Mark Halprin said this is the biggest cover
up in America media history, he wasn't lying.

Speaker 8 (05:22):
Megan Kelly, over here in my ecosphere, we were covering
all of these It wasn't just falling down, it was
getting lost. It was some of the stuff you report
in your book. We knew and we were reporting on
like or It was obvious he couldn't get through a
one minute take. It was clear to us that he
was using teleprompter. There was some reporting on that at
the time, all of which the White House was denying. Now,

(05:43):
the current White House. I have some connections with the
Joe Biden White House. I had none, but you did.
There was an attempted cover up. It could only ever
work if you allowed it, if the press allowed it.
Some of us tried not to, and some of us
were complicit.

Speaker 9 (05:58):
The Biden White House, not like me. I do not
have great connections with the Biden White House.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Okay, Jake, because you don't have great connections with the
White House doesn't mean you could report with your own
eyes what you were seeing, asked questions of what was
going on. Just because you don't have great relationships with
the White House, and it doesn't mean that the people
inside of the White House that are covering it you have. Well,

(06:26):
if I don't have relationships with the White House, I
don't have relationships with anybody else. No, and on top
of that, you gas lit everybody. You remember any went
after Laura Trump and he said, yeah, I regret that.

Speaker 8 (06:37):
Well clearly source He said, you talked to over two
hundred sources for this.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Boat and worked.

Speaker 10 (06:43):
I know.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
That's the point is that they were not being honest.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
That's how the Street.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
Journal get it. In June of twenty twenty four, and
Jake Tapper and CNN couldn't find sources for this story.
Then before he dropped out.

Speaker 9 (06:54):
Annie Lynsky and Shavon Hughes did an amazing job in
their reporting and they should be heralded, and I heralded them.
I had them on my show right after the debate
to talk about their great reporting.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
To the debate.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
But you did not put them on when they published
that story, which was before the debate.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Correct. I don't know what the booking situation was.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
He's getting hambered, as he should because you were a
part of it, and you went after people who dare
bring it up. You went after people who even mentioned it,
Like I go back to the Laura Trump thing. That

(07:35):
was an absolute disaster and looking back on it, my god,
the hell were you.

Speaker 11 (07:44):
Thinking preparing for this interview. Some people are pointing to
a conversation interview you had with.

Speaker 12 (07:50):
Laura Lara How do you say it, Lara.

Speaker 11 (07:53):
Laura Laura Trump, Laura Laara Trump in twenty twenty and
she talked about Biden's mental acuity, and I'm sure you
remember this. You believed and said you felt she was
mocking his stutter. She said she didn't even know he
had a stutter, but was really talking about his cognitive struggles.

(08:14):
You dismissed her, Jake, I think in a rather taciturn way.
With all due respect. Having watched the interview looking back,
would you have handled it differently?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Of course, of course.

Speaker 9 (08:26):
I mean on a conversation about aging, what Laura Trump
said aged well and what I said aged poorly one
hundred percent.

Speaker 13 (08:35):
Now, she.

Speaker 9 (08:38):
Obviously saw the non functioning Biden in a way that
I had not really seen at that point.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
She was right.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I was wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
She didn't see anything that anybody else didn't see. She
saw what everybody saw. You refused to believe what you saw.
That's the reality of it. You refuse to believe it.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
You put on a Democrat, and you allow the Democrat
to rip on the report as a Ruper Murdoch sponsored
hit piece.

Speaker 9 (09:12):
It's just that we're going to do, if we're going
to do this, let's just stick to the facts here, okay,
when there is a damnat.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
That's what I've been doing all along.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
I'm one of us.

Speaker 8 (09:25):
Didn't miss the biggest story of the century when it
comes to presidential politics, and one of us did.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Truth. When we recovering this throughout the day. Mark Halprin
also put Joe through the ringer, which I thought was spectacular.
About the tape, this Mark my words thing. I thought
that was brilliant. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet
at his text the program the big beautiful Bill. Well,

(09:56):
it's not beautiful, but it is big. There's no doubt
about that. And it's funny. I am a person that
looks around and I've been very, very, very transparent on
how I feel about the amount of spending that this

(10:16):
administration wants to do and the fact that they want
to give all of these breaks to everybody, and the
tax cuts here and the tax cuts there, especially to
the top really five to ten percent, and we shouldn't
be cutting a damn thing at this moment in time.
We shouldn't because this is going to lead to well, ugly, ugly, ugly,

(10:39):
ugly debt and deficits that we don't need. Thomas Massey yesterday,
who Trump came out and attack, said he's just a
grand standard blah blah blah blah. By the way, usually
when Trump goes after somebody and said they're going to
primary come after there's a worry. Uh oh. Thomas Massey's
one of those people in Kentucky where he is so
beloved that when Trump says he doesn't know what he's doing,

(11:03):
he's an idiot. We got to get rid of him.
People in Kentucky go, now, we're going to keep him.

Speaker 14 (11:07):
When the White House says this will not raise the deficit,
what do you say to them?

Speaker 15 (11:12):
Nobody says that the white.

Speaker 16 (11:16):
Is the president, okay, with this bill adding to the deposite.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
This bill does not add to the deficit.

Speaker 15 (11:22):
I mean over here that people in favor of this
bill say that under the policies of this bill we're
going to add twenty trillion dollars to debt over the
next ten years, which is three and a half to
five trillion dollars more than would have been added otherwise.
Now that's just a fact pleasure.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
So they're not that's under rosy assumption there's a deficit neutral. No,
that's the show. I agree, we'll see what ends up happening.
But Big and beautiful, Big absolutely three, two, three, five, three,
twenty four to twenty three Act you had Benson shows
your actual insidt, all the other things. A lot of

(11:58):
stuff to get today, We're gonna try to cram it
all in the first Raycon Father's Day not too far away.
Raycon is ready to deliver you the best earbuds around
the everyday earbuds from Raycon eight hours of talk time,
thirty two hours of battery life, tons of colors to
choose from. But when you go to buy Raycon dot
com slash chad on all of the site, they've got
tons of great deals and you get fifteen percent off

(12:19):
right now, so you could win big this Father's Day.
But deliver them the best in earbuds and sound quality.
There's no doubt the everyday earbuds win over and over again.
Now you get a thirty day happiness guarantee. And let
me tell you a little bit about these. One of
the things that I find to be the most important
thing is the charging. For every ten minutes to charge,

(12:39):
you get ninety minutes of listening power, which is incredible.
That's a fast charge. You got multi connectivity, active noise cancelation,
just to name a few. Win Father's Day, deploy the
best in audio sound to pops or maybe yourself. Go
to buy Raycon dot com slash chad now say fifteen percent.
Let's buy raycon dot com slash Chad Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Joe Chad Benson.

Speaker 17 (13:11):
President Trump's dream of an iron dome for America is official.

Speaker 18 (13:15):
This is very important for the success and even survival
of our country.

Speaker 17 (13:20):
This so called Golden Dome missile shield, which could cost
more than one hundred and seventy five billion dollars, would
be designed to protect the US from the growing threat
from boosted hypersonic weapons, submarine launched ballistic missiles, and land
attack cruise missiles.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
That's a drop in the bucket for the Golden Dome.
By the way, there is a golden dome. It is
in Indiana where Notre Dame is. That's the Golden Dome.
This one's different, though, Okay, this one's going to protect us.
Did we ever build Star Wars? I'm most curious about that.
Maybe we did, maybe we didn't. You never know the
thought that we did, though, I'm sure scared a lot

(13:57):
of folks. This though, would not a thought. But it's
not that easy.

Speaker 19 (14:02):
Right now.

Speaker 20 (14:02):
The US has no capability to have on orbit interceptors,
so that is some buck Rogers stuff that's going to
need tens of billions of dollars in years to develop.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
So it's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's going to take a long time.

Speaker 20 (14:15):
It'll be a question whether if there's an eventual democratic president,
that's where they want to put their money.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
But for now, this is what President Trump wants.

Speaker 20 (14:22):
It doesn't mean the technology is there crazy, is it
possible we can do this?

Speaker 21 (14:26):
I think it's important to resist where your imagination goes
when you see that golden dome on a map.

Speaker 19 (14:33):
It's not going to be ever possible.

Speaker 21 (14:34):
I'm a missole defense guy, but it's never going to
be possible to defend against everything.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ah, well, what are we paying for then? Just out
of curiosity? No, it's specific areas, right, You're going to
protect specific areas. Some areas you're not going to. Others
are more valuable. I hate to say that, but that's
the reality. And this is again all about building up strength,
because the more strength you have, the more opportunity for

(14:58):
peace that.

Speaker 21 (14:59):
Will take research development. It's not to say that it
can't be done sooner than perhaps some folks think, but
three years is going to be pushing it.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
For some of those things, three years may be pushing it.
But there is a person that can help with this.
You might remember him. He kind of worked briefly with
this administration on a volunteer basis.

Speaker 20 (15:17):
Doing things in space, you know, take multiple trips to
space to figure things out. Now, what has changed since
the Reagan years is SpaceX. So whatever anybody might think
about Elon Musk, Elon Musk is responsible for the US's
ability to launch very cheaply satellites into what's called low
Earth orbit.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
If you're in low Earth orbit.

Speaker 20 (15:37):
You're much closer to where the threats may be flying,
and so you're able to find them and track them.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
If you're missing the show, make sure you've had the
podcast helps us out right here on the Chad Benson Show.
So we'll see peace through strength, and this would be strength.
If other nations know they really can't hurts you in
a major way and you can destroy them, they change

(16:05):
their mind on whether or not they think they can
attack you. And if you're wondering, do we even have
anything right now that can defend anything?

Speaker 20 (16:15):
Wow, the only thing we have right now are missiles
that are in the ground in Poland and Romania that
are intended to protect both Europe and the United States
from Iranian missile attacks. We also have in ground missiles
in particularly Alaska that will protect us from North Korean missiles.
They will not protect us from Chinese missiles. They will
not protect us from Iranian missiles, and they're still fairly rudimentary.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Now, Supposedly some of the new planes and whatnot are
capable of doing certain things that other planes weren't in
the past, as far as catching up to some of
these missiles. And I'm sure drone technology is going to
also be a situation where it's going to be very

(17:00):
helpful in this. But wouldn't that be cheaper? Is this
gonna be a laser beam? How is this stuff? It's
all fascinating again Buck Rogers type stuff. But right now
all we have is sling shots. So let's just put
that out there, just let everybody know that, or do
we have more? Remember what my clients are military analysts.

(17:21):
Just always say, it's not what you know we have
that keeps you up at night, it's what they don't
know we have that keeps them up three two, three, five, four,
twenty three At Chad Benson Show, is your ex your instant?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Sometimes you don't go where and then and as your name,
and they're always Badcha came?

Speaker 22 (18:18):
The Boston bar that inspired Cheers is paying tribute to
George Wint, the actor who played Norm Peterson for eleven seasons.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Nice to meet here, What do you do near?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I sit there?

Speaker 22 (18:31):
A beer was placed at the end of the bar
in his honor. His role as the self deprecating bar
regular would earn him six consecutive Emmy nominations. Ted Danson
saying he is devastated by the loss of his friend,
adding it is going to take me a long time
to get used to this.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
I love Norm. Norm just great. One of my favorite
episodes in all of television is with at Norm's job.
They make him the guy that fires everybody because he
cries so much, and they all feel good when they
get fired by Norm because they feel like he really cares.

(19:11):
And at the end of it, he just runs out
of tears. He just can't do it anymore. He was
just brilliant. And he was asked about, how did you
you know play Norm? He goes, I just was kind
of myself, just did my thing and and it was
a buddy of mine because he was on another show
that did six episodes and then it was canceled, and

(19:34):
his buddy said, hey, come over here and read for this.
He did, and he said, I just I was me.
And that's how he chose his his characters, he said,
or the things he wanted to do, because he didn't
do a lot after cheers, not like he needed to.
But he said, if it wasn't fun, I didn't want
to do it. Oh I loved him. I did. I

(19:54):
absolutely loved him. And great actor. Just a good guy,
just a good guy by all accounts. Everybody that knew
them said, Hey, good dude, which is gonna mission norm?
But in heaven they're saying Norm. Hey, it's Wednesday. You
know what that means.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Buckle up, everybody.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
It's time to talk about my pronouns.

Speaker 23 (20:17):
When babies are born, the doctor looks at them and
they make a guess about.

Speaker 12 (20:21):
Whether the baby is a boy or a girl. But
sometimes the doctor is wrong.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
No, Lucy is a ghost? Are the pronoun they them say?
There was two of them?

Speaker 23 (20:33):
Fun thing about you yesterday?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I came out of chance.

Speaker 23 (20:36):
Family, don't let's go rock frocks pronouns that sounds so cool.
Let me introduce you to our non binary I am
non binary and I use they them pronouns.

Speaker 12 (20:46):
And my students know this.

Speaker 8 (20:47):
We just came up with new words that fit us better.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
It's fine. What if I want to be called sir
Elton John, It's time for woke Wednesday? Woke? Indeed, where
do we start?

Speaker 24 (20:59):
Pronoun And they've been really attracting a lot of negative attention,
and I feel like there are a lot of assumptions
being made about me that are not quite true.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
So first of all, I just want to say I
do also use.

Speaker 24 (21:11):
A standard set of pronouns as I use he da
in addition to yiha.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
I think that if.

Speaker 24 (21:16):
You're going to use new pronouns you'll probably have a
better experience in life if you pick at least one
set of standard pronouns, even to them to be okay with,
to be like cool with. Because the reality is, and
I know this, A lot of people are telling me this,
but I am aware that a lot of people in
the world will not even remotely try to respect new pronouns.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
They think it's silly that they gets done with whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, because they got other things going on and once again,
as we remind everybody where, does my responsibility stop in
trying to make you feel good about the pretend class
of person that you've designated yourself.

Speaker 24 (21:52):
I know it's not silly, Enda. I'm not gonna let
that get me down, just because there are a lot
of people who won't use my pronouns for me. I
don't really give a shit about like what random strange
gender me as, like, I don't get upset when somebody
calls me NAM at the store, like I just don't
really give a when I get to know people personally,
and especially people close to me, and that's when I'm like, hey,
these are medio pronouns. I would prefer to be called

(22:12):
eha if possible.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
The yeeha, no, whatever happened to being called your name?
Just curious and and and I'm gonna say this too.
Let's just think about this for a second. You've got
eight or ten of these people that are part of
this cabal of insanity, and all of them have their

(22:34):
own pronouns. When they're in a gaggle of people. Oh
jet you said it, I mean, well, what do you
call them? Because I'm not gonna call hey, they them yeeha,
what are you gonna do? Whatever happened to a name?

Speaker 24 (22:50):
I do want to also just make the point that
the people close to me do, in fact use my
neo pronouns. And in fact, when I lived in Seattle
and I was very enressed in the trans community there,
it was very won't use theo pronouns. I had know
lots of friends who use neopronouns. It's not I've got
a lot of comments that are like, the only people
that use these are thirteen year olds on tumbare and whatever.
I'm almost twenty seven. I know people in their thirties

(23:13):
using neo pronouns. Anyone can use neopronouns if they want to,
and it makes people melt, it makes people lose their minds,
and I think that's silly, and I will not stop
defending theopronouns.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
All right, Well, good luck to you, how Starbucks? You
awn srich Chad, that's not very nice, nice being honest, right,
throw that out there. I got a lot of friends
that use this. Yeah, that's privilege. By the way, if
the biggest issue you have in life that upset you
is somebody's not using your pretend moniker, that you want.

(23:48):
That is privilege, Absolutely, Chad. None of this stuff matters. Really,
when's the last time you had to sit through a
damn hour long, stupid video at work? Because well, you
know that's what you have to do now, and you
have to do that four times a month. Oh oh yeah,

(24:11):
I forgot about that. Oh yeah. And remember they're all
out there now, they them's neo pronouns, yihas and everybody
else and they want that respect in the office. And
all you want to do is get that report to
the boss by the end of the day. Now, this
is a new portion of our Woke Wednesday, what we

(24:31):
call it white woman Lecture, where they lecture us on
all kinds of stuff that they're experts at.

Speaker 10 (24:40):
Most white people, especially in the West, even if they
are part of other marginalized groups i e. Trans, queer, disabled,
whatever it is, most white people expect equality because of
their whiteness.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Let me say that again.

Speaker 10 (24:59):
Most white people expect equality, safety, rights and all of
that because they were born white. Now, I know that
seems like a really hard pill to swallow.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Do you know even think about that? Do you wake
up and go, I'm white, So there's that. So I'm
gonna go out and get my stuff or you just go, man,
I gotta just I got a lot of stuff to
do today. Does that change? Does being white change the
way whether or not? Like I don't want to go
to work out I'm white? Does that happen? Kids got

(25:35):
to get to school? Just go outside and go I'm
white and they're magically there. No, Chad, you don't understand
it's about No, No, you think about it because you again,
it goes back to privilege.

Speaker 10 (25:46):
And that really made me think about you know, the
trans and queer community is that sometimes white people will
only fight for a cause if it is about them.
And this is something that I've had to really take
to heart, especially as I'm watching things like Gaza unfold,
because that's not about me.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I am not over there.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
But therefore does that mean I need to sit back
and stay silent? And we're seeing a lot of people
do that. And I'm just using that as an example.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
By the way, I'm sure you are, because Gaza is
very much the cheeshy thing to wear. What more from
white Woman lecture on Woke Wednesday.

Speaker 25 (26:19):
You're a man and you don't like when women say,
oh my god, I hate men. Watch this video a
woman says I hate men. That means because she's largely
had negative experiences with men's not women. I know, but
it's a lot. And the sentiment underlying that is we
don't know which men are safe. So if you become reactive,
you start yelling at us about how it's not little
men and so men are good.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Show us, show us.

Speaker 19 (26:37):
So don't get defensive.

Speaker 25 (26:39):
Just be there and listen to what we have to say,
because trust me, you will be horrified by a lot.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Of our experience.

Speaker 25 (26:42):
If you find a man that we like, we will
be loyal for as long as we possibly can.

Speaker 19 (26:46):
There will be no one to even cheat with. We
don't like most men.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
We stay away from them because we feel I'm safe.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
If we find a man we like, we'll can stay
as loyal as we possibly can until we can't anymore.

Chad Benson Joe, hashtag.

Speaker 26 (28:22):
Me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped in
a hashtag factory and I can't get out the Chad
Benson show.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Parents behaving badly? People ask me, because I played soccer
for all those years, did you ever coach? I did,
and I'll never do it again in the way that
I did at club level because parents and the kids
now too. But parents behaving badly is first of all,

(28:57):
can I just remind you of their cameras everywhere? Okay? Secondly,
your kid's not going to be a pro. Chances of
your child becoming a professional athlete slim to none, and
the chance of your child even getting a scholarship minute
better than being a pro. But minute. But this is

(29:20):
the reason why I don't coach. This is the reason
why people don't want to ref umpire or do anything.
I want you to listen to this insanity.

Speaker 27 (29:36):
This morning, a shocking moment caught on video when coaches
accused a child of being too old to compete. The
target of that shouting Brinley Stevens, an eleven year old
softball player from Astoria, Oregon. She just hit a line
drive when coaches from the opposing team stormed the field

(29:58):
and began questioning her age in front of everyone in
the stance.

Speaker 16 (30:02):
I was holding back my tears because I was like,
oh my gosh, she's up there by herself. These two
adults are confronting her. Thank God that our coach was
there stepping in between.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
These are children, Okay, this is rec league children. Parents
running out screaming about a girl that hit a line drive.
And yeah, she's a little bit taller than the other girls.
That happens. We're not all the same size all the time.
And then of course Q parents and coaches behaving badly.

Speaker 27 (30:36):
Brittley is a fifth grader who stands nearly five feet
ten inches tall. She and all the kids in her
league have to prove their age before they join a team.
Her family says She's used to comments, but not like this.

Speaker 16 (30:49):
It was like scary them like coming at me, and
I was just looking at him, like, what the heck
is going on?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
What the heck is going on is parents are too
invested in their kids' sports. They are They're way too
invested in their kids sports they're living their lives through
their kids.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
Stop it.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Let them be kids, for God's sakes. Let them have fun.
And yes, if you find a kid or two that
is amazing, they'll be identified eventually. And if they have
the passion and love of it, let them go and
grow it. And then if they're really that, then you
go out there and you say, all right, what can
I do to get you to the point where you

(31:36):
need to be? How can I help? But so many
damn parents are living their lives through their kids. You
could get a scholarship. Kids going pro can't be stopped.
Oh my goodness, Wait till he can walk, Wait till
she can actually pick up a ball.

Speaker 27 (31:54):
Following the verbal exchange, Brinley's mom says, the opposing team
coaches continued the behavior, making obscene gestures towards the parents.
When the game ended, we were.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Upset, but.

Speaker 16 (32:06):
We took it to the association and hoping that they
do better and recommend and hold them accountable for his actions.

Speaker 27 (32:14):
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, seventy percent of
kids quit playing organized sports by age thirteen, often because
of pressure from adults, who they say, take the fun
out of games.

Speaker 28 (32:27):
We're not making room for our kids to be successful.
We're not making room for our kids to understand that
it's okay sometimes to lose, and in fact, sometimes when
you lose, there's a victory in the loss.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
There can be you'll learn a lot more from a
player as far as what kind of character they have,
the drive they have. From a loss, then you will win.
Wins in sports can cover up a lot of bad things,
you know, but that's when you get to a certain level.
But you've learned a lot from sportsmanship, teamwork, do you

(33:03):
have the termination to get better things of that nature.
That's why sports are so important. But they're still just kids.
And while you're teaching them lessons, the lessons you're teaching
them is, hey, dad sucks. Wanted to be a pro athlete.
Maybe he dreamed of it, but he couldn't because he
wasn't any good. But he's pretty sure that his daughter's

(33:26):
going to be the first one in the major leagues.
And so you act like a fool, and then what happens.
Nobody wants to do this anymore. Nobody wants to coach,
nobody wants to umpire, nobody wants to be a part
of this. I will tell you it's not my parenting
philosophy when it comes to sports. I tell my kids,
you're going to play sport because it's good. It's good

(33:47):
for your teamwork, camaraderie, friendships, you build. Those things they're amazing.
But I'm not going to push you, and I'll be
honest with you. I talked a bit about this yesterday
at my local show, and a lot of people like,
I can't believe you said that. Son. As you guys know, Jack,
God bless him.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
I love him and my.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Man, I love him, but I told him this year, dude,
hockey's really expensive and you're not very good, okay, and so,
and I know people are saying, I can't believe he
said that. No, I'm honest with him because hockey is

(34:23):
super expensive. And the reality is my little brother played
pro hockey. He coaches the highest levels of junior hockey.
And so I was just being honest and Jack understood that,
which is great. And I said, I feel like, now
you want to play on the team just because your

(34:45):
friends are there, which I get, But that's a lot
of money for me to buy your friends. And he
started laughing because he also knows there are other things
he wants to do, and he's really into riding bikes,
wants to compete with that, and he's really good at that,
and he's great at golf. I said, I'll do all
those things if you want. He understood that. But you
know what, I never did push him and I said, dude,

(35:05):
play hockey. Don't play hockey. I don't care. I never
once push him to play soccer. That's what I did. Parents,
you gotta settle down, and that's why I don't coach.
The last time I coached was my little brother, Spencer,
who's in a wheelchair. I coached the Special Leeds League
because the parents were good, the kids were great. There
was no pressure. Nobody was going my kid's going to
play in the World Cup. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Officer Bull We'k's going to join the program talk about well,

(35:49):
you know, the economy, what's going on in the market
tear some things of that nature. Were also going to
talk about, obviously, more of the hypocrisy of Yes Kids,
the media and the cover up and the lack of
coverage of Biden, which is shocking but not shocking. That's

(36:13):
some more stuff. When it comes to the big beautiful Bill,
we're gonna make it laugh as well, I promise you. Then,
if youre missing me the show, you say, shame on you,
make sure you've heard the podcast number two straight ahead,
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
To say that the Biden cover up is not a
story is an absolute lie. To say that it's overblown
is a lie. It was undercovered. It's not getting coverage enough.
People need to lose their jobs. People need to be investigated.

(37:14):
This is about our country. For all the talk about
Trump and the loud and the screaming and all of
that stuff that goes on, and so much of it
is because Trump enjoys the fight and it's reality television.
This is reality ty. You had a president that could
not do the job. He was not there, and when

(37:37):
he was there, he was for a limited amount of
time throughout the day, and people, nameless, faceless people were
doing what propping him up, propping him up. Here's a
former advisor to the president, all with Jesse Waters.

Speaker 19 (37:53):
I don't.

Speaker 29 (37:54):
I mean, there's no It would be outrageous if he weren't.
He was the oldest president in office, he had had
health challenges throughout his whole life. If they were not
testing them, that's outright negligence, and they were putting the
country at risk. Look, there was a three legged stool
that propped up Joe Biden, right, the White House put
out his talking points, The press just you know, parroted
them out, and Democrats in Congress and governors cheerleaded right.

(38:19):
And what happened. We ended up getting Joe Biden running
for reelection. It was a complete disaster. Now fast forward,
what are democrats asking now? Should he have run for reelection?

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Jesse? Should he have still been president those last two years?

Speaker 29 (38:32):
And now we're being asked to believe that he just
got cancer recently.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Nobody buys it. This cover up is as big as
anything that's ever happened in the media. It is insane.
And when you say, oh, it's not a bit, it
is a big deal. It is a big deal. Some
things we as a nation don't need to know because
they're secret. For a reason, this was secret because people

(38:59):
wanted to hold on to power. For all the talk
of Trump and the power grabs and Elon and all
this stuff, think about this. Think about the way that
this went down, the fact that people were making decisions,
In fact, the top two advisors were making decisions on

(39:21):
the economy and not even telling Yellen about it. It
gets worse. Listen to Alex Thompson, who was the person
who really went hard at this from Axios when nobody
else did. And I remind everybody got destroyed for it,
got hammered for it, got absolutely crushed by his peers,

(39:42):
and then got an award for it, and they cheered
him on. This is frightening him talking about the fake
town hall.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
And Alex, the fact of the fake town hall is
not actually the worst part of the story that you
report in the book.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
Yes, other campaigns have used fake town hall so now
I would say those town halls usually are in addition
to real town halls.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Joe Biden was doing neither.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
This fake town hall was in order to film it
so they could make into campaign commercials.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
They filmed it.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
They filmed it in Delaware with supporters, but Joe Biden
at this point, this is the spring of twenty twenty four,
Joe Biden's town hall was so bad that the campaign
officials determined that it was not usable for a campaign commercial.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Wait, what you're telling me that he does a fake
town hall like a movie set a commercial, supporters, everybody's friendly,
all of this stuff, and then we're going to take
bits and pieces of it and use it for a commercial.

(40:51):
And it was so bad they said, yeah, we can't
use this.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
So they took ninety minutes to hours out of the
president's day, they filmed an entire town hall, and they determined.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
That it was not useful.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Now, some people say this was because Joe Biden was incoherent,
he could not really articulate his thoughts in epithy or
even semi normal way. Some people just said, like, the
lighting was bad. That was sort of the two points
of view. But the point is it shows like what
the campaign's status was in the spring of twenty twenty

(41:26):
four when they were trying to deal with a candidate
that wasn't the decline.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
The lighting was bad. I love lonely Scott here.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Wait, someone filled you the lighting was bad. That's one
of the you're saying that they.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
Spent millions of dollars to stage a town hall. Well,
we didn't get the lighting right. That was one of
the excusesable.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
This comes back to the question of how many people
were aware of things like that.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
A lot? What's a lot. I don't know the entire nation,
not so much the town hall that we're just finding
out about, but a lot of people, like the entire
nation could look and go, yeah, you know what. My
grandma she started to get that way, and we told
her she couldn't drive anymore and that she needed to

(42:15):
live with someone not yeah, make sure that they run
again for president of the United States. But a lot
of that was about perception. Mark Halpin breaks down one
of the big issues with Biden across the board.

Speaker 14 (42:30):
I think one of the biggest mistakes, maybe the biggest
through line of all for the way Biden's have been covered,
is the Bidens. It has regularly said are good family,
they're decent people, and I'm not here to tell you
they're worse than the Trumps, are worse than Nixon. But
I'm here to tell you that the mythology that the
Bidens are good people who don't lie is not born
out by the facts, and that's increasingly front and center

(42:52):
in sharp relief this week.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
I don't know if they're worse or better. I think
so many people in the world of politics are in
for themselves. But we have always talked about this when
it comes to Biden. You like the way he says things.
You like how nice he seems to be. You like

(43:18):
all of the things because he's just a swell aw
shucks guy. That's Joe there but in reality, behind closed doors,
because he says the things you wanted to be here.
That makes you feel good. He wasn't as wonderful as
people thought. But the media was like, oh, Trump, you

(43:42):
hate all the things he says. Yeah, fight him tooth
and nail and everything. And look, let's be real. Trump
loves to fight, doesn't matter who it is. He could
fight his own shadow in a dark room. I've always
said that. But because you don't like the personality, it's cantankerous, right,
It's like a porcupine. It's kind of sticky. You decide, well,
you know what, all of it's bad, and no matter

(44:04):
what the action is it's unforgivable, even if the action
actually benefits everybody.

Speaker 14 (44:12):
We know that they didn't tell the truth about Biden
inc We know that, and we know the president and
the debate in twenty twenty against Donald Trump did not
tell the truth.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
When I asked about Hunter's business.

Speaker 14 (44:21):
I'm not here again to tell you that Joe Biden
is a bigger liar by some metrics than Donald Trump.
What I am here to tell you again is this
has been a horrible mistake on the part of the
media to treat the Bidens like they walk on water.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
So freakin' true. Look, do I think he's a bad guy,
No more than any other. And I think he was
probably in the early days much more of what you
see and that people thought. But as he grew into
the power, like I could change a lot of people

(44:58):
with the ego and everything else, and then the family
got on board, and then it was a big deal.
And speaking of the family, Jake Capper was asked about Hunter.

Speaker 12 (45:07):
Biden, how big a factor was the Hunter stuff.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
I think it was considerable.

Speaker 9 (45:11):
I think Hunter was driving the decision making for the
family in a way that people He was almost like
a chief of staff of the family.

Speaker 12 (45:18):
Does that strike you as pretty bizarre?

Speaker 9 (45:20):
It's bizarre because I think he is provably demonstrably unethical, sleazy,
and prone to horrible decisions.

Speaker 12 (45:28):
I mean, tell me how you really feel well.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
I mean, I just look at the record.

Speaker 9 (45:34):
I mean, after his brother died, he cheated on his
wife with his brother's widow and then got her addicted
to crack.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
That's just one thing I could say.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
As you do. Oh, now, look, he had an addiction.
All right, it's a bad thing. Don't want anybody have addiction.
It's a horrible thing. Having grown up in and around
it my entire life, I understand that. But he was
an awful person who functioned at high levels with millions
of dollars because of access. And yes, he was the

(46:06):
mobster without all the mob stuff like the killings and
the bearing the dead bodies and ordering the hits. He
just had the money in the access.

Speaker 9 (46:19):
I don't have a lot of personal regard for him,
and just based on having nothing to do with I
barely have ever met him. I've met him like once
or twice. But I knew Bo Bo was a great
upstanding guy.

Speaker 12 (46:31):
I knew him too.

Speaker 9 (46:32):
Really, a real loss for the country. Too, not just
for his family, for the country. But Hunter is not
that and the idea of letting him drive the family
car as it were, is just really really questionable.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Not just kind of questionable, absolutely mostly nameless, faceless people
who are making decisions for the United States of America
by Heidi how bad it was when it came to

(47:08):
the president, and this bs that this is not a
big story. It's a huge story. And if the media
as more and more of this book comes out, as
more and more of these now and they're safety in
numbers and we're far enough away from it where other
people are employed or they're looking for their five minutes,

(47:31):
who are now coming out feeling like it's safe to go,
Oh yeah, let me tell you how bad it really was.
As more and more of that's happening, this story is
not going to help the media, and it's going to
make it much worse. And there are some serious questions
and Democrats you can say all you want about Trump,
but they're looking and going, yeah, you know, it's hard
to believe anything you guys say, because you told me

(47:52):
that guy was juggling while writing a unicycle and he
was writing in calligraphy with both his hands. Just that's
what you told me was going on, and that was
far from the truth. So it's hard for me to
believe you. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Something doesn't smell right in Louisiana when it comes to
these escaped prisoners.

Speaker 30 (49:55):
A maintenance worker at the New Orleans jail where ten
inmates escaped, all once now charged with helping in the
scheme Strolling Williams accused of shutting off the water before
inmates dis launched a toilet and crawled out through a
hole in the wall Friday morning. A court after David
says Williams told investigators an inmate threatened to shak him

(50:16):
if he refused.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
That's possible, no doubt about that. That being said, nobody
trusts anybody right now in the Louisiana Sheriff's office at all.
DA Jason Williams talking about all of this stuff.

Speaker 31 (50:33):
It enhats this plan in the moments right before their escape,
I think it's clear that these individuals have been working
on this for quite some time. We just don't know
exactly how long at this point, but it's all unfolding.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Pretty rapidly, and there's still several of them out there.
But the first day this happened, the first thing that
the sheriff did, she came out and she's like, this
was against me. They did this on purpose because I'm
running for reelection and they don't want me. Not any
really anything about who these people are, where they are.
But there was this kind of bizarre situation where there

(51:11):
was several hours where they didn't bring it to the
public because she's see why in herself.

Speaker 31 (51:16):
The idea that we can trust with fidelity the operations
of the rains Paris Sheriff's office at this point, I
think it's clear that we can't.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
It's kind of funny not anything where you come out
and you're like these people have escaped. We got to
look out for him. Everybody. First thing was they're trying
to get rid of me. They know them up for
reelection and I'm running And so that's why they did this.
It was them the deep state of New Orleans.

Speaker 31 (51:43):
Ten violent offenders don't make their way into a pod
made for two and make good their escape through concrete, concrete,
rebar and barb wire without there being some sort of
inside assistance.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
And it was there more. I think we're going to
find out there was probably some more. Did you think
you get away with this? Now there are several prosecutors,
several witnesses that are now in hiding because yeah, because
some of these are super violent offenders already charged that.

(52:18):
I believe one of them has been convicted of murder
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three At Chad Benson Show. It's your act, your instant,
everything else right here on the Chad Benson Show. So
this is a situation where you've got nothing to lose,
and the worst ones out there really have nothing to lose.

(52:39):
That's what makes them even worse because they know going
back is forever. So stand your ground if you will,
if you're them, They're going to go down fighting. That's
what I think. Speaking of inside jobs, I'm kidding. James Comey,
who really just wanted to get away from it all,
can't shut his freaking mouth, the former FBI director who
put out that bus our Instagram post of eighty six

(53:03):
forty seven. My wife and I aw shucks walking on
the beach and I look down and their shells and oh,
they just happened to be arranged this way. And I
thought it was.

Speaker 32 (53:13):
Kind of cute when you posted this message eighty six
forty seven, And I said, there are different interpretations of it,
but one interpretation of it is to end someone or something.
Was there anything in the back of your mind that
said maybe I just shouldn't post this.

Speaker 33 (53:27):
Yeah, no, literally nothing, because it seemed entirely innocent and
clever to me. I have never and actually still have,
don't associate eighty six with violence, but because I heard
that some folks were, whether they do that reasonably or not,
I don't want any part of it, and so that's
why I took it down from my Instagram account.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Whether they do or don't, No, that's people do do, okay.
And again, Jux suppose that right, So what if it
was somebody, what if it was Don Junior that posted
eighty six forty six, people would be losing their blanking
mind and the fact and James call me such a
freaking weasel. God, he's awful. Look at me, Look at me,

(54:05):
Look at me, Look at me.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
He's a clown.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Three two, three, five three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson shows your X buddy Zach Abram, chief
stment Officer, Bold Capital Joints the program straight out talk
a little bit about the economy and whatnot.

Speaker 34 (54:17):
Chad Benson shown Chad Benson shoe.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show, How's That's happ of the week?

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Sit down? Talk to her buddy Zach Abrat, chiefvesment Officer,
Poor Capitol, Friend of the show, sponsored the show. Uh,
it's always a crazy week in the investment world, man,
And I look around and I'm never sure what's going
on when it because I just don't you know, even
watching was it Jamie Diamond that came out was it yesterday?
And said, yeah, I don't think people have any idea

(55:04):
what the market is really about to do. And you've
been saying that for a long time. These people are.
They're high on bye bye bye, and there may be
a bye bye buy in their world in the future.

Speaker 35 (55:15):
If you're still piling into US stocks, you have to
think that valuations and fundamentals do not matter. You see,
the reason you buy stocks and we don't buy CDs
and bonds all the time.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
The reason we.

Speaker 35 (55:30):
Buy stocks is because the expected returns off of stocks
are typically in excess that of fixed income, and that's
what we refer to as risk premium, meaning we're getting
paid more to take risk. But if you look at
so many of the stocks in the market right now,
and you don't look at their pe ratio, you don't

(55:50):
look at their early but you look at them as
a corporate a company that you own, and you factor
in their shareholder yield, what you're seeing is a lot
of stocks out their trade and a lot of the
most popular stocks trading with negative risk premium, right, meaning
the forward expected return based off their own numbers is

(56:10):
less than half of what you can make and attend
your treasury, which is just insanity.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Right.

Speaker 35 (56:18):
So literally you're sitting there going, I want to make
less by you know, taking more risk, and you know,
I don't know if people are. You know, people are
paying attention at at home. But that's never a good idea, right,
That's not that's not what we want to do.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Who's who's driving the market? Dude?

Speaker 35 (56:41):
Man, that's a that's a tough one. The the biggest
thing driving markets right now, in my estimation, is deficit spending. Okay,
So deficit spending and retail investors.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Okay, so you've got a and.

Speaker 35 (56:56):
And the only reason and I agreed with the one
hundred percent of what Jamie i'mon is saying he's like, guys,
regardless of what happens here, we come out the other
side worse off on a profitability basis and a trade
basis than we.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Were a year ago. Why that is bullish for multiples
on stocks? I don't know, right.

Speaker 35 (57:17):
And then so the deficit spending you did, if you
weren't running deficits this big, I would think that a
recession is a lock. And if you look at the
Philly Fed data that came out today, data was horrible.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Once again, the data just looks awful across the boards
right now.

Speaker 35 (57:35):
The interesting thing is to see if you can go
into recession running seven percent deficits. But here's the thing
you worry about. You look at Brazil right now. I
think Brazil's running. It's either Brazil. I think it's Brazil.
Brazil's like, you know, pseudo third world country. They're at
ten percent deficits to GDP. If we go into recession

(57:55):
where we're at right now, we'll be looking at nine
to ten percent opposites to GDP. So deficit spending is
unquestionably driving the stock market right now. I do think
it's fair to point out. I think it's noteworthy to
point out the stock market, I think is up one
percent or slightly less than that this year, so it's
not really going anywhere, which again isn't surprising considering earnings

(58:20):
outlooks and current valuations and all that kind of stuff.
But here's another one, and you know we've been talking
about this all year. International markets hit another high in
comparison to the US this year, and they're still dirt
cheap and people still aren't making the move.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Is that one of those things where other money managers,
most people that deal with just the regular retail person,
they don't that's not their jam. They invest stolely in
the US markets, even thinking about going somewhere else will
be almost too exotic, right, the difference between hot sauce
and ketchup. Now that's news. So here's the crazy thing.

Speaker 35 (59:02):
If you go back to twenty ten, twenty eleven, twenty twelve.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Modern portfolio theory.

Speaker 35 (59:10):
Now there's all kinds of problems with modern portfolio theory,
but generally speaking, a proper portfolio was diversified. You had
slivers of emerging markets, you had some precious metals. That's normal, Okay.
That all morphed over the last fifteen years. That's how
the United States market got to seventy percent of seventy

(59:31):
percent of total global market capitalization. If and I've got
buddies around the world. I got a buddy that got
a couple buddies that manage money out of Puerto Rico,
Canadian buddies that manage money. I've got a buddy of
mine that manages money out of Monaco. You talk to
these guys, and every equity manager around the world is
loaded up into US equities because it's been the only

(59:52):
game in town. But guess what they're all starting to
do diversify away. That's why Poland is up forty on
the ear. You look at again, out of the list
of the top forty performing markets in the world, the
US ranks thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Six, and Chad, it's probably only going to start.

Speaker 35 (01:00:10):
Here's the other thing, because of what those governments have done,
and a lot of it hasn't been very smart in
terms of, you know, they should have been doing things,
and I think we clearly went overboard, but they should
have been doing things over the last ten to fifteen
years to stimulate their own economies. Okay, they didn't, but
here's the situation where we're running one hundred and twenty

(01:00:33):
one hundred and thirty percent debt to GDP and seven
percent deficits.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Germany's running two percent.

Speaker 35 (01:00:39):
Deficits with sixty five percent debt to GDP, So they're
doing fiscal right. They're doing stimulus spending. So guess what
money's starting to do. It's starting to chase.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
The stimulus right.

Speaker 35 (01:00:52):
And to answer your question, the other thing that is
driving US markets is this. It is the same thing
that was driving it ninety nine and two thousand and
the same thing that was driving the housing market Nos.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Six and seven. Okay, it is over levered retail.

Speaker 35 (01:01:09):
Funny story, my buddy that I was talking to today
and he's been published by zero Hedge. Bloomberg ran a
Hedge fond. Very smart guy. He was talking to his dad.
His dad owns his house outright, Okay, he doesn't own
any money on his house. But his dad took out
a heelock and put the money in the S and
P five hundred in the last six months.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
And the reason he.

Speaker 35 (01:01:31):
Did that is because all of his buddies at the
country club were doing the same thing. We look across
the board, retail has record levels of leverage and margin
debt on the balance sheet.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
So what you've got is.

Speaker 35 (01:01:46):
A scenario where every you know, retail has been convinced
the stock market can't go down, and for a long
time it couldn't in the sense that you're running quantitative easing.
At the same time, fed's got rates at zero. Right
Fed's gonna step in ad liquidity anytime there's a bump
in the night, and you kind of effectively had this
ratchet underneath the market.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Okay, but now it's completely different.

Speaker 35 (01:02:09):
Right now, the US has become, like I said, by
far and away, a record seventy percent of global market
capitalization is here in the US. You're in a situation
now where like we told you we thought the Fed
was going to disappoint with rate cuts this year. And
the reason that they're backing off the rate cuts is

(01:02:31):
they're afraid of losing the long end.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Meaning one of the.

Speaker 35 (01:02:34):
Reasons that people are freaked out about US bonds right
now is because of the deficits and the debt and
the fact that they're not seeing US rain and spending. Well,
if the FED cuts rates, that makes that problem worse, right,
because it gives the US government a green light to
take on more debt. So what happened the last time
Powell cut rates last year?

Speaker 34 (01:02:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
What happened the thirty year went up? The rates on
the thirty year one up? Right?

Speaker 35 (01:03:02):
I think we were getting a preview there that global
markets are sitting there saying, look, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
The only way we're the only way we're going to
put a bid.

Speaker 35 (01:03:09):
On your long term bonds is if we start seeing
fiscal restraint, if we see you going the other way
and trying to stimulate more considering where you're currently at.
Because the bond market's freaked out, right, they don't want
to buy a bunch of duration right now, Watch the
US go into recession, then watch us start stimulating again.
Push the deficits to ten percent. Watch the dollar plummet.

(01:03:32):
Watch the yield sore on the thirty year they bought
it at five, now it's paying seven. Now their thirty
year treasuries are sitting on a twenty five percent loss.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Right, So you're in this perverse situation.

Speaker 35 (01:03:43):
And ironically, I'm going to tick some people off when
I say this, but I think Powell's right, and I
actually think Powell is doing Trump a favor.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Meaning if Powell were to cut right now, I.

Speaker 35 (01:03:55):
Think the front end of the curve, so you know,
thirty day treasuries one year, two years, notes, probably even
five year, they'll fall because they're totally dictated by the
Fed funds rate. Right, But the back end of the
curve isn't. I think that you'll see thirty years. I
think if he cut right now, I think you'd see
the thirty year, you'd go to five to five, maybe
even six, and you push the thirty year there you're

(01:04:16):
looking at seven and a half eight percent mortgages. I mean,
it's not perfectly correlated, but that's probably where you'd be sitting.
So now, okay, so you're in a situation now where
the FED is sort of kind of in a corner.

Speaker 6 (01:04:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
The only way they can cut.

Speaker 35 (01:04:28):
Is if they see material deterioration economically. Okay, so they're
not coming to the rescue, right, You're it looks like
it's going to be sort of political fisticuffs to get
any of these budgets through.

Speaker 7 (01:04:42):
Right.

Speaker 35 (01:04:43):
Meanwhile, foreigners are cashing out of our markets every single day.
Today was yet another day everybody's excited about SMP. Like
I said, divergence between performance of foreign markets in the
US and another high today. And I'll tell you, man,
I just and here's the frustrating part about it. To me,
I'm not sitting there trying to be too smart for

(01:05:06):
school and trying to time markets and all that kind
of stuff. What I'm trying to wake people up to
is the portfolio you currently have is not normal. It
isn't normal to be all US stocks. It never has been.
That wasn't modern portfolio theory. The reason that you're all
US stocks is because any advisor that wasn't was bleeding clients, right,

(01:05:29):
And so what do they all do? They all capitulate,
load up on Amazon, Microsoft and Video Costco all that
kind of stuff, right, because they can't miss out. And meanwhile,
in my opinion, they're missing the greatest value buying opportunity
we've seen in the generation. You're looking at these people
just paying ridiculous prices for US equities.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Meanwhile, there's fire.

Speaker 35 (01:05:52):
Sales all over the world and people are just giving
it away. But you're starting to see inflows into those markets,
just like we were talking about. And when we're looking
at the situations we're looking at, which all of them
point to dollar weakness. With dollar weakness, you're going to
continue to see outflows out of US markets, and people

(01:06:12):
need to realize it's because of those inflows to where
you are, right, Costco shouldn't be at sixty times earnings,
Apples shouldn't be at thirty three.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
These companies shouldn't be there.

Speaker 35 (01:06:22):
The reason they're there is because the movie theater is
freaking packed, right Like that's the only reason. Now investors
are looking around going wait a second, it looks like
the long term bull market on the dollar has broken.
It looks like the US is in danger of losing
the back end of their curve if FED can't jump
to the rescue anymore, because that might lead them to

(01:06:44):
losing the back end of the curve. Meanwhile, I'm looking
at US stocks that have never been more expensive compared
to the rest of the world, and I'm looking at
the rest of the world equities going They are generationally cheap.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Their governments don't have the fiscal restraints that the US does.

Speaker 35 (01:07:00):
Starting to print, it seems like a great time to
pick up your stuff and head to the next party.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Hey man brother talking to Zach Abraham, chievestment officer Board Capital.
People want to join you. You're you got a big webinar.
What do they do? How they do it?

do it.

Speaker 35 (01:07:24):

going to talk about we've got special ways. We've got
a lot of folks around here tech area that have
got big amounts of stock.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
They're sitting on single stock exposure.

Speaker 35 (01:07:35):
We've got ways for them to first of all, insulate
that against loss, because if you've got sixty percent of
your portfolio on one stock, we got to make sure
we have some protection but also sell some of it
and create an income stream off of it without triggering
cap gains. Okay, so we're going to talk about that
in addition to the impacts of tariffs, how we do,

(01:07:57):
what we do, who we are, all that kind of
and if you're interested after that, you can schedule a
call with me or one of our advisors. If not,
hopefully you'll leave more educated. So 's go to Borkcapitalmanagement

Serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
The Olympics are coming to Los Angeles. You know what
else is coming to Los Angeles during the Olympics. Not
break dancing, which I wish was there, but after that
ridiculous Rachel reagun crap, it looks like that's not happening,
But you know what is. And I'm going to go
put my money on the Americans and this one flag football.

Speaker 13 (01:10:23):
We're excited to announce today that the NFL owners unanimously
pass the resolution giving every NFL player an opportunity to
play in the Olympics in twenty twenty eight in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
What that's right, That's why I'm putting my money on
them because we're gonna let the NFL guys play in
the Olympics.

Speaker 13 (01:10:42):
We think it's a tremendous opportunity for them to represent
their country, to compete for a gold medal, which is
a pinnacle of global sports.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
It kind of is in a certain way when you
think about it, because this only comes around once every
four years. And the interesting thing is, you know, they
were talking about Scotti Scheffler, the great golfer who's right
now on a run that you know would make Tiger
smile back when he was in his heyday. He's got
a gold medal on top of everything else. He's got
two Masters, just one of the PGA. He's won fifteen

(01:11:14):
tournaments since twenty twenty two. He's the number one player
in the world, and he just kind of goes about
his business. He's only like twenty eight years old and
he's got a gold medal. It's you may win several Masters,
you have a shot every year to win a Masters.
They only got a shot once in a while to
win a gold medal. And here's the thing. In some sports,
you think, oh, I want a gold medal, I can
defend it. Then that sport never comes back, but I

(01:11:37):
do think we're going to win this. I'm just going
to go out on the limb and say, I bet
you we win this. I think this is news.

Speaker 13 (01:11:45):
Represents a great opportunity for the sport, for the NFL.
It's truly the next step in making NFL football and
football a global sport.

This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Show, the Great cover Up. They're on the tour. Alex Thompson,
Jake Tapper. It's kind of weird. Jake's going to all
the places, including the rivals on MSNBC Today on Morning Joe.
There is Joe, Joe Scarborough, the man, the myth, the legend,

(01:13:58):
really no, none of those things. Just to dude like
everybody else. But as we all know, he said it.
The thing that I continue to say will live in infamy,
be on his headstone when it comes to the world
of politics. You might remember this because everybody does, and

(01:14:19):
they've brought it up to him on numerous occasions.

Speaker 18 (01:14:22):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and f you if you can't handle
the truth. This version of Biden is the best Biden ever,
not a close second.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Well, if that's true, I would hate to see what
not a sharp Biden is. But with Jake Tapper and
Alex Thompson them out there talking about their book. There's
lessons to be learned, right, Joe.

Speaker 18 (01:14:51):
I saw Biden and Ireland. I went to two events there.
One day they had a winding.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
I was exhausted. I think Biden did six o books.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
I called home bitching and God, I am, I'm like
throwing up on the side that wrote it's like.

Speaker 18 (01:15:08):
This is, you know, but winding all around. Biden does
six events and so I go away from that. I
seen the next day, interviewed him. He's you know, he's
he's he's doing well. He has a hero's reception in Ireland.
I have you know I told you about going in
and talking to him for two and a half three
hours inside the White House.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
Uh, far beyond.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Coaching, I really really has.

Speaker 18 (01:15:32):
A better has a grasp of international politics in a
way that only somebody who's been doing it since he
was twenty nine years old. Sure, we get phone calls
at home where the guy is like pounding.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Me because of op eds that I wrote, et.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Cetera, et cetera. So you know that.

Speaker 18 (01:15:48):
So I said that this was Biden is at his best.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
Sure, that's what I saw. Other people.

Speaker 18 (01:15:57):
I was obviously wrong, So I'm not sure that's what
my takeaway is here.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Your takeaway was you allowed your disdain for Trump to
hide the fact that he was a mess, that it
was smoke and mirrors. And I go back to this
over and over again and of all the things I've
learned so far from the book and from listening to

(01:16:24):
some of the interviews, because there's stuff in there, and
there's stuff that's not in there that is shocking. This
right here to me, What do you do? And I
want to play this year from Alex Thompson, what do
you do if you're a Biden supporter really more of
a Trump hater or Republican hater, and you're gonna go

(01:16:46):
in They're gonna do a town hall, if I ask,
really not a town hall, but more of a commercial set,
because it's a town hall set up in a way
to be filmed so they can use it as a commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
And oh and Alex, I'm the facts of the faith
town hall is not actually the worst part of the
story that you report in the book.

Speaker 5 (01:17:04):
Yes, other campaigns have used fake town halls. Now, I
would say those town halls usually are in addition to
real town halls Joe Biden was doing neither. This fake
town hall was in order to film it so they
can make it into campaign commercials. They they filmed it
in Delaware with supporters, but Joe Biden at this point,
this is the spring of twenty twenty four. Joe Biden's
town hall was so bad that campaign officials determined that

(01:17:27):
it was not usable for a campaign commercial.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
Not usable. You go in to a town hall, it's friendly.
It's a friendly town hall, because it's really a commercial.
You're going in there to praise him, to ask him

(01:17:52):
stuff so he could do the empathy thing. They're spending
millions of dollars on this thing. They're going to turn
it into a commercial. This is not fuone, Oh, this
is friend and well.

Speaker 5 (01:18:05):
So they took ninety minutes, two hours out of the
president's day, they filmed an entire town hall, and they
determined that it was not useful. Now, some people say
this was because Joe Biden was incoherent, He could not
really articulate his thoughts in epithy or even semi normal way.
Some people just said, like the lighting was bad. That
was sort of the two points of view. But the

(01:18:28):
point is it shows what the campaign's status was in
the spring of twenty twenty four when they were trying
to deal with a candidate that wasn't a good climb.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
They didn't use any of it. It was so bad
that they used none of it, and then they tried
to pass it off as it was the lighting. Really,
do you think the group that has Hollywood on speed dial,
who spends millions and millions of dollars on all the

(01:19:02):
stuff when it comes to, you know, making sure everything's
slick and good and modern, do you think they got
it wrong? Or do you think those people walking out
of there going, you know what, I may not be
able to vote for Trump, but I can't vote for
that guy.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
Wait, someone told you the lighting was bad.

Speaker 7 (01:19:19):
You're saying that they spent millions of dollars to stage
at town Hall. Well, we didn't get the lighting right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
That was one of the excusesable.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
This comes back to the question of how many people
were aware of things like.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
That, And that's the big question for me. How many
people knew that there were issues inside of the White
House and failed failed to come out and say it.
I was on earlier doing some stuff with the chicks
on the right. Uh, really early, and we were chatting

(01:19:57):
and I said, if you're a senior person in and
around him, and you're around that sphere, you are maybe
looking at political opportunities, chance to grab some power, chance
to do some stuff. Nameless faceless people voted into that situation. Nope,
they're just nameless, faceless people that are sitting there going

(01:20:20):
we got a little bit of power. I'm gonna cozy
up not to the president, but to Hunter, to doctor Jill,
not a licensed medical professional, and we're gonna do some stuff.
And I'm gonna be a part of it because I
know I will say good but you know what I know,
keep my mouth shut. I know what this place is like,

(01:20:42):
and I know coming out of here, I'm gonna have
some chips in the game, and I'm gonna be sitting
on somebody's board because I'm gonna help them with some
of their stuff. That to me very very suspect. But
what if you're an assistant to that person and you
know this is wrong? Who are you gonna tell that
you were going to have anybody not only believe you,

(01:21:06):
but not crush you. Who were you going to tell
where you don't get basically, not just slap down, but
absolutely crushed Alex Thompson. Who you hear in a lot
of these this guy winning all these awards. You know what,
he got destroyed by his own kind. They absolutely crushed him.

(01:21:33):
What did he get out of it? Well, now he's
got awards, and he's got accolades's got all this stuff.
But I tell you what, up until that day, he
was getting smoked by a lot of people. Up until
the day that people couldn't deny. And of course we're

(01:21:55):
talking about the debate, which apparently was way words. Then
people realize I want to.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Ask you about the debate because you were there.

Speaker 36 (01:22:07):
I remember, if you have a closer look than anybody,
you and Danavash when this whole thing obviously cracked open
and everything you're reporting in the book became undeniable to
the public, not just to people behind the scenes. Your
conversation with the president at the debate you write about
in the book, and then for both of you, what
happened in the immediate aftermath, like that night among Democrats

(01:22:29):
and in the White House.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
First of all, before we get back to it. So
you've got Alex Thompson there, You've got Jake Tapper, they're
sitting at the morning Joe desk. You got willy guys
and all these people asking and and let's be real,
Alex Thompson known in the journalist world, not known in
the sense of big name, selling lots of books, the
whole nine yards of fact. I had some people go,
I'm search Alex thoms there's a couple of chicks out there. No, no,

(01:22:51):
it's a guy. So that's one of the reasons. You know,
Jake Tapper and him may be friends. But the reality
is is having Tapper on the book is big, big,
because of the access that you're going to get to
the television world and elsewhere. Even though and Jake has
readily admit this is Alex is so much of the

(01:23:12):
heavy lifting. But Jake was at the debate. Jake was there.

Speaker 9 (01:23:17):
So I've now watched the debate on TV or on
my computer because for the book to write about the
write the book, and I will tell you that it
was horrible on TV, and it was worse in person.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
Horrible on TV, worse in person.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
What it was worse in person? It was disturbing.

Speaker 9 (01:23:40):
We have little iPads that we can use to write
to the control room. I wrote like when in that
first answer where he said we finally beat Medicare, I wrote,
because I didn't know who was in the control room,
but I wrote, holy smokes, because it was obvious that
there was a big This was just historically bad.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Historically bad as an understatement, continue.

Speaker 9 (01:24:02):
Sir, presidential the worst of presidential debate performance in the
history of presidential debate.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Dana wrote a note to me saying he just lost
the election.

Speaker 9 (01:24:10):
After the debate, he and First Lady Biden came down
to where we were, and they didn't seem to have
any idea of what just happened, or he didn't at least,
and he apologized for having a cold, and he said,
can you like something about can you believe how much
this guy lies about Donald Trump?

Speaker 3 (01:24:26):
Who was probably in the air by then.

Speaker 9 (01:24:28):
He went on. He left immediately. It was so awkward.
I didn't know what to say. I was trying to
make small attack. I had Philly's cufflings on and I
showed them to the First Lady because she's from Willow Growth.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
But I didn't know what to say. Then they left.

Speaker 9 (01:24:40):
He goes something like, I guess we'll go see what
the commentators have to say.

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
And then.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Was a nice. The fact that he didn't even know
how bad it was shows you how bad he was.

Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending?

Speaker 37 (01:26:34):
Signed James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, serenom.

Speaker 6 (01:26:51):
M what truping?

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
That's why I was trending on this Wednesday. In the
Year of the Lord, twenty twenty five starts with Google.
George went Norm passed away yesterday and one training thing.
Nancy Mace showed a naked picture of herself kind of
sort of. She's easy on the eyes. I'm not gonna

(01:27:20):
let you guys on that one. When it comes to politicians,
absolutely no tax on tips, so that's good. FDA vaccines,
COVID vaccines will limit future COVID shots to older people,
not limits to them. But they're trying to push it
towards the at risk folk, if you know what I mean.

(01:27:43):
Golden Dome, it's the new defense thing. We're going to
put up the Golden Dome. The Star Wars, I'm never
really sure if we did or didn't put that up.
You never knew, but maybe we did. Ashton Genty, who
isn't one picked by the Raiders. He does the Halloween

(01:28:04):
stance kind of like Michael Myers and the Raiders don't
want him to do that in the pros, which I
think is hilarious. Herod, Yahoo, The Voice, Donald Trump, Karen Reid,
Lamonica mcguiver, all things trending over there, and then to Twitter.
Ryan Clark talked a little bit about that earlier Oh

(01:28:27):
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark thing, but this took a
different turn with Ryan Clark who went after RG three
and basically said, you really can't talk about the black
women because you marry white Women, Oh, Norm Marco, Rubio,

(01:28:47):
Biden Massey, w NBA three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your

love it when you do that. In the Chad Benson Show,

(01:29:09):
Van Holland which is not Van Halen, but that's Van
Holland and Marco going back at it, RG three and
Nancy Mace All things trending in the magical.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
World of.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
X Slash, Twitter slash, all kinds of stuff. Yeah, watching
people argue about stuff is when it comes to the WNBA,
it has been kind of Look, it's the best thing
to happen. So if you didn't see what happened the
other night, there was a battle royale between Angel Rees

(01:29:44):
and Kitlin Clark, and Kitlin Clark gave angel Rees they're
not pals, a hard foul, but it wasn't horrific. Then
they started shoving, going at each other, and then it
kind of became sideways, and it was then became a
race thing, and then the debate became a race thing,
and you're just like, ah, it's like the best thing
that's ever happened to the WNBA. More of that, more

(01:30:05):
of that, more arguing, more fighting. You want to build
the league, you build it around personalities and players. That's
how you do it. And Caitlin Clark is obviously the
most important person in the league. She may not be

(01:30:25):
the best player, but she's the most important person and
she should suck it up and just deal with the
fact that she's going to be loved and hated and
people are going to debate it. And Angel Reese, you
play the villain and both of you guys, go capitalize
on it. Smart thing to do. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three. At Chad Benson

Show, Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Hey, it's Wednesdays, so you know exactly what that means.
It's time to get woke today. What the woke wants
the woke get.

Speaker 38 (01:31:31):
Every time they refer to me, it's always lady girl
it's non stop.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
We are contributing to our fat phobic society.

Speaker 30 (01:31:43):
Someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me.
No offense is a shit about you.

Speaker 10 (01:31:52):
So that's my intentional weight losses.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
Fat moment, cut your mouth?

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
Who's that all?

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
It's time for woke Wednesday. It's maybe my favorite video
of the week. This is a first of all white woman.
She's a little larger if you know what I mean,
a nutritional overachiever and uh, She's gonna free yourself from
the scale that has ruined her life.

Speaker 22 (01:32:17):
The destruction of this scale is dedicated to all of
the women whose lives have been ruined and ruled by it.

Speaker 24 (01:32:25):
This is for us, ladies.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
Safety first. I'm tired stealing my life.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
I'm tired of you making me feel if I'm.

Speaker 24 (01:32:33):
Good or bad.

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
I'm tired and exciting.

Speaker 30 (01:32:35):
How my day is more you decided my life.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
No more you stealing.

Speaker 6 (01:32:40):
Life from me.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
Yes, I take back my life. High outside of my bed.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
I like you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
She struggled with a scale. She ran out of breath
to Ah Chad, uh and her being white Chad, It's
not about race. But I really enjoy the new portion
of the program that's called white woman lecture. So if
you don't know what that is, this is where white
women lecture everybody about. You know, how bad men are

(01:33:17):
and equality and whatnot.

Speaker 25 (01:33:19):
You're a man, and you don't like when women say,
oh my god, I hate men. Watch this video a
woman says I hate men. That means because she's largely
had negative experiences with men.

Speaker 19 (01:33:26):
But it's not old men, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
But it's a lot.

Speaker 25 (01:33:29):
And the sentiment underlying that is we don't know which
men are safe. So if you become reactive, you start
yelling at us about how it's not old men and
some men are good. Show us, show us, So get defensive,
Just be there and listen to what we have to say,
because trust me, you will be horrified by.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
A lot of our experience.

Speaker 25 (01:33:42):
If you find a man that we like, we will
be loyal for as long as we possibly can. There
will be no one to even cheat with. We don't
like most men. We stay away from them because we
feel I'm safe.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
What So, first of all, I love the part where
you're like, if we find a man we really like
and feel safe, we're gonna try to stay with him
for as long as we possibly can. Know and you're like, uh, okay, really,
and then you go into your to your you know
why you feel unsafe around men, which you don't know men.

(01:34:12):
You know, guys who are clowns and beta man. You
don't know any real man. Okay, so just settle down, ma'am.
But we appreciate you lecturing us because it's been a while.
We continue onto the marginalized.

Speaker 10 (01:34:27):
Most white people, especially in the West, even if they
are part of other marginalized groups at eutrans, queer, disabled,
whatever it is, most white people expect equality because of
their whiteness.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
Let me say that again.

Speaker 10 (01:34:46):
Most white people expect equality, safety, rights, and all of
that because they were born white. Now I know that
seems like a really hard pill to swallow.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Okay, tell me more. I'm trying to figure this out.
So I'm white and because of that white stuff, you know,
because sometimes people just walk up to me, other white
people and go white stuff and we know what we're
talking about, dude, No, because we don't think about this. Why,

(01:35:24):
because we're adults and we have other things going on.
I have a six year old who is full of
energy in life, and she doesn't think about this. She
knows what she does think about being a princess, that
is her goal in life, and then sometimes it's being
a teacher and then professional scooter writer, and then sometimes
it's gymnastics, and then sometimes it's her math because she
really likes math and counting stuff. And then other times

(01:35:46):
it's about the fact that she also wants to be
a doctor as well as a veterinarian. And at no
point does she go white people. That's what I'm just
look at her, go, don't worry white people.

Speaker 10 (01:35:55):
And that really made me think about, you know, the
trans and queer community, is that sometimes white people will
only fight for a cause if it is about them.
And this is something that I've had to really take
to heart, especially as I'm watching things like Gaza unfold,
because that's not about me.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
I am not over there.

Speaker 10 (01:36:13):
But therefore does that mean I need to sit back
and stay silent? And we're seeing a lot of people
do that, and I'm just using that as an example.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
By the way, Okay, so there's that, so Gaza, so
white people go is what does it? What is a
twenty five year old white person what you changed? You
don't understand you should be able to just walk over
there and go white people and it stops everything. But
you're not used your power of white.

Speaker 8 (01:36:39):
My friend and I were talking about white not.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
White power, the power of white different things.

Speaker 10 (01:36:44):
My friend and I were talking about white people and
how many of them are voting for their own oppression
and they don't even know it. But that's because they
don't feel that they should be oppressed in the first place.
But my question for my trans and queer community who
are white is look into your heart and ask yourself,
where did the expectations of safety come from. Does it

(01:37:07):
come from the fact that you truly feel that everyone
on this planet deserves equality, or does it come from
the fact that you are white and you are born
into a system and you expect the equality and the
safety and the justice because of the color of your skins.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
Ah man, that's a lot to think of, and then
I move on with my life because you're insane. And
you know what, here's something for you. Privilege. How about
that every single person born in America has privilege. You
know what privilege? That is America. That's the privilege, the
privilege of you don't live in South Sudan or Yemen,

(01:37:51):
or Gaza or the slums of Rio No no, no, no, no,
you live here in reality. When you get outside of
your myopic view of how evil America is and the
colonization and et cetera, et cetera, how horrible you feel

(01:38:17):
the reality has everybody born in America? Oh, some are
born on home after hitting a grand slam, but the
average person is born on third base comparatively to a
vast majority of the globe. Oh oh wow, you want
to know why because of stuff like this.

Speaker 39 (01:38:38):
So the other day we were talking to our seven
year old and just checking in with them, being like,
are you feeling about dad's transition these days? Do you
have any questions?

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
And my partner are so.

Speaker 39 (01:38:45):
Cute, was just like, how do you feel about the
fact that, like, dad's a lot pretty sometimes and adorable,
And immediately, without missing a beat, my child, my seven
year old, was just like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
Just happy that that gets to feel like themselves. The
kids aren't confused. The kids are not confused. That's not
what he said. I can tell you this is what
he said in his mind in reality, because he loves
his dad and he still sees his dad, not his
pretend mom or whatever the hell's going on. In reality,
he's thinking what the's going on with my dad? Everybody
else has a regular family, everybody else has this what's

(01:39:18):
going on here? That's what he's really feeling. And he
loves pops or mom or whichever way you're going, coming
or going, and is one but dad, mom, they them
whatever to be miserable. But he's got other questions. It's
not like yeah, this is no no no no no no,

(01:39:38):
and that want more for fun.

Speaker 40 (01:39:40):
I really, recognizing only two sexes or genders is like
only recognizing two sky colors black or blue. While everyone
can plainely see the sunrise and sunset are here every
single day, always have been and always will be. If
you are a sunrise or a sunset, please do not
go anywhere. We really need you and you are the
prettiest part of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:40:02):
The hell are you talking about? You know, the sunrise
and the sunset and the things that are going on
with the sun stuff. Ah, I see, I see wow again. Privilege,

Speaker 5 (01:43:49):
And when y'all are saying that you all used to
drink from the hose, were sinks not an option?

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Who's gonna tell them?

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
You want me to tell him, I'll tell him.

Speaker 19 (01:43:59):
We weren't a lot in the house here here Why.

Speaker 8 (01:44:01):
That's so hard for people to understand.

Speaker 23 (01:44:03):
Our childhood was like one never any episode of that
TV show Survivor. Okay, we are indestructible. We've never sat
in car seats. Nobody's ever given us swimming lessons. We've
all been either shot with a baby gun or stabbed
with a jart.

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
Oh my god, the chart of all the great inventions.
Somebody back in the daygo, so I got an idea.
You know that game Tic Tactoe. Let's play it in
the yard, but instead of going and drawing h let's
get people giant lawn darts and we'll have them throw
them towards it. It's like corn hole, but with weapons.

(01:44:41):
That was an idea that wasn't just thought about in
somebody's head and whispered about. They're like, let's do it,
and then they did it, and then they ran commercials
and then people bought it and then people got stabbed
and it was still for sale. Because that's who we were.

Speaker 23 (01:44:58):
The television stations had to make a commercial reminding our
parents that they had kids.

Speaker 24 (01:45:04):
I you not.

Speaker 23 (01:45:05):
Every night on the ten PM knew the voice would
come on and say, it's ten pm, do you know
where your children are? To remind our parents that they
had kids. So no, sir, shirtless with the beanie were
sinks not an option. Sinks, we're not an option now.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Hell. We used to bet each other that we wouldn't
drink out of the gutter and you're like, I'll take
that bet. That guy double dog dared me right there,
you know what, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm doing it. And
then you do it and you're like, that was fine.
I didn't feel too bad. And remember too with the hose,
because those hoes were absolutely the hardest plastic you could find.

(01:45:44):
But in the summer they would melt because the plastic
would get soft, and then you'd turn the hose on
and sometimes you'd forget that the water and there's hot
and it would burn you and then you'd let it
go for a second and then you take a drink
and it was awesome and by the way, whose house
read who cares? There's somebody's house? I needed a drink?
Oh yeah, because that's who we were. Okay, we need

(01:46:06):
more of that, not less. That's what I'm saying, more,
not less. More, as in, why don't we even have
somebody who is say gen X, who's the president of
the freaking United States?

Speaker 19 (01:46:19):
Anybody else think it's really kind of weird that we
never got a Generation X president.

Speaker 3 (01:46:23):
Have you met us?

Speaker 8 (01:46:24):
You don't want a gen X president?

Speaker 1 (01:46:26):
You don't want us in charge of jack?

Speaker 38 (01:46:28):
Can you imagine a gen X president coming in just
fucking scorched earth on everything. The younger generations would shit
their pants, they would be crying in the streets. They'd
form like a protest block the street to make a point.

Speaker 23 (01:46:40):
We can run them over for what would our campaign
slogan be, like, We're on find out twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
Sounds a good plan? Anybody, you guys good with that?
I mean, we produced just about everything that's awesome. We
remember the olden times in the now times because we
created the now times, but we grew up in the
older times. We speak to both the older and the younger.

Speaker 19 (01:47:01):
Really, not even that many of them in Congress or
the Senate.

Speaker 23 (01:47:04):
But nobody likes us.

Speaker 2 (01:47:05):
Who would go for us. We don't even follow rules
at our real jobs. We sleave cereal for dinnerly three
times a week.

Speaker 8 (01:47:12):
You don't want us in charge of the country because
we don't give up.

Speaker 19 (01:47:14):
The generation that gave us rage against the machine?

Speaker 38 (01:47:17):
Do you remember, like any like the lyrics to rage
against the machine that we brought you?

Speaker 19 (01:47:21):
Right, we won't and it's just like what happened to
this generation. Did y'all? Just like, stay out of politics.

Speaker 8 (01:47:31):
We've been in charge of so long.

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
We are exhausted.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
We are done, Our brains are done.

Speaker 19 (01:47:35):
Y'all can figure it up.

Speaker 16 (01:47:37):
Have fun.

Speaker 3 (01:47:37):
We're just gonna get old and die.

Speaker 8 (01:47:39):
Leave us alone.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
Sorry, we can't do that because they're looked around and
realize that everybody else is just driving us crazy and
we've got to handle business. I do think there's going
to be a gen X president and I think his
name is Marco Rubio. That's just what I think.

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
And will he f.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
Around and find out? No, but he'll tell you if
you have around and find out, is going to be
bad for you. That's when I heard kids, That's what
I heard Little gen X love. We don't get enough love,
by the way, we don't when you go and look
at us. We're the smallest generation by size, and we
were raised on our own for the most part. And

(01:48:16):
I was telling the other day, man, go look at
our pictures when our moms were pregnant with us. They
got a drink in one hand and a smoke in
the other. And you know what we're doing. I we're
doing all right. Speaking of do it all right, solid
fun show today, I want to remind every buddy I
am not here tomorrow and Friday, Craig will be in

(01:48:36):
and of course Monday is Memorial Day, so we will
be doing some live stuff on the old YouTube the
next couple days. If you have a chance, make sure
you check that out. We appreciate when you do that,
and you go to at Chad Benson Show on the
YouTube and like and subscribe there and grab the podcast
if you miss any of the show right here on
the Chad Benson Show. This has been quite an nice week.

(01:49:01):
It has been crazy, indeed, and I keep reminding everybody
this story about Biden has dragged the Democrats and the media,
the establishment media, the old timey media into something that
is going to cost him in ways they cannot believe

(01:49:22):
in the future. This trust was already there in a
lot of ways. There is more than just that now
and that isn't going to change anytime soon. So this
will be interesting. You guys, have a blessed rest of
your day and the rest of your week and Memorial Day.
Will do it again next Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:49:39):
Now that Jack, This is the Chad Benson Show.
