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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Nobody is above the law except people that are above
the law. So that makes sense. Well, that's what I've
been told. Nobody's above the law. But people that are
above the law, well they're above the law. But they're
different because nobody well you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
The idea that no person is above the law is
a bedrock principle of American justice.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
No man is above the law, and I agree with you.
No man is above the law. No one is above
the law.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
No one is above the law.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
No one's above the law.

Speaker 2 (00:42):

Speaker 1 (00:44):
No man is above the law.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Nobody is above the law. No one is above the law.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
The law.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
He has to be held accountable.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's not above the law. The law is the law,
and no one should be above it.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yes, nobody is above the law.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Nobody above the law except people that are above the law.
Do do do doooo? What? Yeah? The insanity that is
watching people spiral out of control, angry at what Joe
Biden did. I'm gonna throw a couple of things at you.
First of all, I said it, yes, right, I'll say
it again. It's your kid. You're not letting your kid

(01:18):
go to jail, especially if maybe you were involved in
some of it. Secondly, so it's also an f you
to the Democrats. This is a solid f you to
the Democrats. You guys stabbed me in the back, you
did all of these things to me. You've forced me
out in shame as a decrepit old man. And so

(01:41):
maybe a little few to you. But they're upset. Oh
my god, are they pissed? Are they angry? They don't
know what they do with themselves. They're just like, oh
my god, what do I do? What do I do?
It is funny. I mean it shouldn't be, but it is.
Is former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh, not in the Eagles,

(02:05):
Joe Walsh, who's on MSNBC all the time going Trump's
an evil dude. Trump's all the things Trump is bad.
And what ended up happening was something that, basically, as
he said, deflated them.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
See I told you so, they're all like that. So
the next time any of us complain about anything Trump does,
this pardon is just deflating for those of us who
have been out there for a few years now yelling
about what a unique threat Donald Trump is for Joe

(02:42):
Biden to do something like this, Trump, nobody's above the law.
We've been screaming, Well, Joe Biden just made clear his
son Hunter is above the law. Donald Trump lies every
time he.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Opens his mouth.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
We've been screaming, Joe Biden repeatedly lied about this, the
politicization of the justice system. Donald Trump and his people
have been.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Screaming, Yes, they have. And then Joe comes out and says, well,
they politicize this, So wait a minute, they can only
do that on your kid's side. See, there's a lot
more to it. And by the way, I continue to
say this, I'd have done the same damn thing. Sorry,
I would have. But as I've been pointing out to you,

(03:27):
this is more than just a situation where Joe Biden
pardoned his kid and was he or wasn't involved in
some of this stuff. This is also an fu to
all of the Democrats out there who turn their back
on this cat A.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
Couple of things. One is Joe Biden. This party abandoned him, right,
So basically everyone has a pindon Joe Biden, you know,
here in Washington, and you got to wonder if he's
looking around saying, you know what, what's good for Donald
Trump now is gonna be good for me. And in
the end, the people who really rallied around in stuck

(04:04):
with Joe Biden was his family. Remember we were the
ones saying it was his family, the ones that were
really making the political decisions about what he was going
to do. I do think this. You know, two things
can be correct. First of all, the norms are gone, right,
we absolutely know that. But at the same time, air
cover has been given to Republicans because Joe Biden has

(04:26):
decided to do this part.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh jat, how.

Speaker 7 (04:29):
Did you do it?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Are you a ce sayer? I am not a ce
sayer because if I was, I would be at Las
Vegas making billions of dollars until they throw me out.
So you can't be here anymore. You make it too
much money. This is personal, baby A that's your kid.
B You guys f't me so f you? Oh geez.

(04:50):
MSNBC doing everything though in their power to go, oh
hold on, a se, I can look at all the
stuff that happened over here.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Well that's exactly what Biden said here.

Speaker 8 (04:59):
Joe is at politics of purity. I mean we had
Donald Trump pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio during his term, and
there wasn't a lot of hue and cry about that.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
And this is a.

Speaker 8 (05:10):
Father who saw his first wife killed, his daughter killed
in a carash. His two young sons survive, one goes
on to have real difficulties with addiction, another dies because
of cancer. This is a family that's really trouble. I mean, yes,
he said he wasn't going to do this, but did
anyone ever believe that that was the case. I mean,
I would have put good money on this happening.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Are many people going.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
To be surprised that a father who is also the
president would do this for a son.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
No, But the whole thought process was I'll do it
in my time, and he was always going to get
a pardon he was. I mean, I'm sure Trump and
then but already talked about that because I figured Trump
was going to do and he's probably gonna just piss
everybody off by doing it. And the other thing is
what we're gonna get to it later, is you know
it's time to parton Trump as well and just all
move on because that'll piss everybody off. And another rerepew

(06:03):
two the Democrats, because that's what a lot of this is,
That is it's a lot of this is prepped you
to the Democrats, which is hilarious, but you know, stop
with it. Well, you know his his wife died and
two young kids, and I you know that doesn't there's

(06:23):
a lot more to it, you know than just fatherly love.
Trust me, their egos are big. It's more than just
fatherly love. It's a little c ya and yourself because
you're not gonna let your kid go down. Hey, you
might get twenty five years for this. So I gotta
figure something out because he was facing some time kids time.

Speaker 9 (06:41):
I say, both of those sentencings were coming up, and
I'll say Hunter Biden was very likely to get sentenced
to prison on one or both of those cases. So
this pardon in a very real way, spares Hunter Biden
from having to go to prison. He was coming up
on sentencing in his gun case in Delaware, where he
was convicted for being an addict in possession of a firearm.

(07:01):
I will tell you, based on my experience, it is
very rare to see that crime charge essentially in and
of itself. There's also a false statements crime that goes
with that. But the way that Hunter Biden was charging
that Delaware case is extremely unusual.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Doesn't matter. He was facing time, So why he pled
guilty to to the tax issues because that was all
gonna come out. Wasn't gonna look great kids, So yes,
his kid took a bit of a fall, knowing full
well he was gonna be commuted, cleming see whatever it was.
He was never going to do time, nor should he.
But man, watching them freak out. But you promised, Joe. Yeah,

(07:39):
you guys promise you're gonna be my pals too, and
you stab me in the back. You send that old
hag to get me son to Fisco. It's kind of
funny though. Democrat on Democratic Crime three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadminson Show,
I'm your Twitter, feel free to tweet at me and
texta program Instagram as well. I would like to say that,
but for whatever reason, my Instagram today decided to go

(08:01):
sideways and told me I need some sort of authentication,
which I have no idea what to do, because no
matter what I try to do and it tells me
to do, it doesn't freaking work all for my protection,
of course, because that's modern technology. God, it drives me crazy.
I love modern technology and other times I don't love
modern technology. Next hour, we're gonna get into a little

(08:23):
bit about Australia's new exciting thing, which is banning anybody
under the age of sixteen from social media. Very interesting.
How they do it, I do not know, but they're
going to try it. Meanwhile, the insanity continues, just listening
to people freak out over all of this stuff. Case indpoint,
Pete hex Keith. I always say his name wrong. I

(08:46):
try not to Pete. If I say it wrong, forgive me.
It's never my intention. But what is he going to do?
Will he make it? Won't he make it? Why do
I say that? Because there's all these allegations and now
a new story in the New Yawka.

Speaker 10 (09:02):
Pete Hegsef, Trump's choice for Defense secretary is spending off
allegations of financial mismanagement and sexual misconduct, which he denies.
According to The New Yorker, Hagseff was forced to step
down from leading two conservative veteran groups in part because
of accusations of mismanaging funds and abusing alcohol while on
the job, allegedly using official funds to party, sexually pursuing

(09:25):
female staffers, and repeatedly being so drunk in public employees
had to care for him.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh wow, apparently, now this isn't Apparently he got drunk
at a strip club and he got on stage and
tried to dance with the ladies.

Speaker 11 (09:38):
Holy god.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, we're gonna talk to Mike Lyons and Third Hour
about Pete what he thinks of Pete. But I will
tell you this, Uh, it's not the first person to
get inebriated at a place like that, do something stupid
when you're out with the boys. But some of the
other allegations are very interesting. And then somewhere along the line,

(10:00):
and I don't know how they got a hold of
his mother's email, and I'm like, what the hell is
this about.

Speaker 12 (10:07):
He's already faced allegations, which he denies, of sexual assault,
and now The New York Times has obtained an email
written by the former Fox News Weekend anchor's mother in
twenty eighteen, accusing him of being quote an abuser of
women who belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women
for his own power and ego. According to the Times,

(10:29):
Hegsa's mother said she sent her son an immediate follow
up email apologizing The next day.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, they didn't print that. That is kind of weird though, right.
Your mom's like, you are horrible to women, you are
a scumbag, you treat women like crap, you're a philanderer
and all of the things, and blah blah blah blah blah.
Fired off. And then the next day you're like, I'm
sorry about that. I was drinking. I it's just a weird.
The whole thing's just odd. I don't know. Look, he's

(10:58):
gonna have his shot. I know Tommy Tubberville and a
few other already like, yeah, let's give me shot. Let's
see what happens. He's got to go up there and
then and you know, we'll see if he gets through.
I think Cash Betel's got a better chance of getting
through than Pete because I think Pete has some stuff.
And remember, there are going to be situations that are
going to pop up here that you don't want the
world to know about. And one of the things that

(11:20):
I've heard from the Trump camp is they were taken
off guard a little bit by some of these things
that they did not know about. Do your due diligence
better is what we're trying to say. Well, that's our buddy,

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Chad Benson Bird It's.

Speaker 13 (13:12):
Cold tempts in the teens in the Midwest, as even
the South is now bracing for record lows. The cold
a shock to our bodies but also our budgets. Electric
heat costs nationwide are expected to rise more than thirteen
percent this winter. Propane and natural gas will see similar increases.
With more Americans falling behind on their bills, there is

(13:34):
help from nonprofits and from federal programs which offer cash
grants like the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's cold out there. I'm gonna tell you this. I'm
out here in Nashville. Snowed yesterday, snowed last night. My
kids were over the moon. They were like, oh my god,
this is amazing. Yeah, it's cold. It is a burd
Cold must be climate change. It's the beginning of the
ice age. Knew it was going to go one direction
or another. Chat. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow. So if

(14:08):
you guys don't remember this, we do it every once
in a great while. When I was a kid growing up,
there was this great television show hosted by Leonard Nimoy.
It's called In Search of Leonard Nimoy for those of
you who are a little bit younger, was the original Spock.
The show was called in Serchoff, and they were in
search of all kinds of stuff, things like bigfoot UFOs.

(14:30):
But also they did this really cool thing one time
when they talked about the new coming ice age. Because see,
back in my day, it wasn't climate change and it
wasn't global warming, it was ice age we were terrified of.
Well now it seems to be happening, and it's chit
chit chit chit chili out there. That's what I'm trying

(14:51):
to tell you. Coming up later, our buddy Mike Cline's
going to join the program because we're going to talk
about lot of stuff, including the Middle East, which seems
to be the exact opposite of chili. Seems to be hot.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
You. A ceasefire between Israel and his Ballah tested today
but still officially holding, and that leaves the other Iranian
group that Israel is fighting hamas isolated with the incoming
Trump administration exerting ever more pressure on it to agree
to a ceasefire and a hostage release.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah. Trump is not playing when it comes to what
is going on over there. He wants this done before
he gets in to office. He wants it done and dusted.
I love it. Let's do it, Let's get it going.
I mean, I don't know what it's going to look like.
And as I've said, just like you've.

Speaker 14 (15:34):
Heard, they're already you know right now they're having some
issues with the ceasefires because you have a lot of
groups withinside of the groups three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show, it's your Twitter,
your Instagram and all the other things.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
On the Ched Benson Show, we shall see. It's interesting.
I got an email earlier from somebody said, I hope
that the Jews pay for the forty eight thousand murders
of Palestinians. I what are you talking about? Can't have

(16:07):
conversations with people, though, I'm just curious, are you asking
Hamas to pay for those as well? Probably? Not so
much stuff still to get to. And we're gonna talk
a little bit about this Pete Hegseth. What's going on
with that character? Because his mom this whole email thing.
And then you've got the report in the New York

(16:27):
At which I don't really think the New Yorker, much
like the Atlantic, has anywhere to go because they're so
full of absolute horse crap. But it's not just cash
Betel that's out there. I don't remind everybody yet. So
there are several people that still need to be confirmed.
Pam Bondi yesterday was out doing her thing. She got

(16:49):
some thumbs up from a lot of people. You know,
it's interesting. Tom Holman, the guy that will be running
basically everything when it comes to our immigration, you don't
hear a lot of people going, well, this guy, this
guy seems to be you know what, I think he's
gonna get through. I believe he's gonna get through. But
it is very interesting when it comes to some of

(17:10):
the other people and the controversies. There's always controversy. What's
this controversy? I don't know. We're gonna find out. We'll
talk a little bit about that. We've got some immigration stuff.
What might Texas do? Which is very interesting, talk a
little bit about that. And yes, this is about more
busting in kids. Oh jeez. If you're missing any of

(17:30):
the show, I say, shame on you. Grab the podcast.
It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 15 (17:33):
Chid, Chad Benson Joe, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
This is a long distance dedication. It snorts out, Dear
Joe Biden, you're the best. You're the most swellest, neatest
guy ever. You've always stood for the rule of law
and we love you for that.

Speaker 16 (18:22):
What is before us is a president who is living
the rule of law. He is living it in the
most personal way. He is not pardoning his son, which
he could do. These are federal charges. He is not
doing that. He is not doing it because he is
living what it means to have a rule of law
in this country. I'm not saying that you should get

(18:44):
credit for it, because it is the right that Trump
has been as said exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
That's right, that's the norm, except for the part that
it's no longer the norm because he's above the law,
above the law, above the law. That'd be a great song.
Remember Judas priest breaking the law, breaking the law. This
one should be above the law, above the law. Ladies
and gentlemen, our man, lonely Scott.

Speaker 17 (19:08):
Joe Biden is leaving office making the strongest possible case
for Donald Trump that anybody could possibly make.

Speaker 18 (19:15):
It.

Speaker 17 (19:16):
And that's that our government and our justice system is
of by and for the elites. He ran to banish
trumpsm from our political system in this country, and he
has left it politically and now institutionally, the strongest possible
political force in this country.

Speaker 18 (19:32):
It is a.

Speaker 17 (19:33):
Complete and utter failure by the head of the Democratic
Party and the president of the United States.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Only Scott laying it down, continue, my.

Speaker 17 (19:43):
Friend, never again do I want to hear. Oh, Donald
Trump's a liar. You can't believe anything he says. Donald
Trump will abuse his power. Donald Trump will only use
the system to benefit himself and his family. Never again,
why did he need an eleven year blanket pardon? Going
back to twenty fourteen when Joe Biden was the vice president,

(20:04):
we are sitting on the biggest cover up of who
knows what crimes, and Joe Biden amazingly knows exactly roughly
when it started. He's leading office in complete and total disgrace.
He is a liar. There is no other way to
spend this today. This has nothing to do with Trump
and everything to do with the character of Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Oh my goodness, man, that's a kick straight in the
grundle doo. And the eleven year thing is important. I'm
going to point that out to folks. This isn't for
just the guns and tax it's eleven years why. It's
the reason we've also talked about not just an f

(20:43):
you to them, but also, hey, my kid's not going
to go down for something maybe I participated in. We're
not the mob the way you think we.

Speaker 17 (20:50):
Are to sit for a year and say I will
not do this. I will not do this. The rule
of law is sacred. We have to respect the justice system. Juries,
we have to respect juries. We have to respect the
guardrails and the norms of our democracy. These people are liars, inflation,

(21:11):
it's transitory. Afghanistan, it's a success. The border is secure.
The videos are cheap bakes. Oh, I'll never pardon Hunter.
It's all a lie. It is all a grift. Every
American except the most partisan, brain rotted people are going
to be outraged.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, Scott is just right now. What he's doing, kids
is laying it down. He's putting it down. This is
a moment where if he was in a rap battle,
he's about ready to drop the mic.

Speaker 17 (21:41):
And it's a lie to benefit his own family, and
that's all that it is. And everybody who went on
TV and said, oh look how he's the modern George Washington.
He's drained every ounce of credibility from every surrogate. If
Kareem John Pierre had an ounce of self respect, she'd
get off the plane in Africa today where they're going
so he can avoid the press and resign. He's drained
all of her credit ability. And everybody else who's defended this,

(22:02):
it's draining, draining for us.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Whatever. Drop the microphone, lonely Scott, Oh good god, tard
though it's hard to fight any of the stuff that
he just said. I mean, you know, how are you
gonna yes? Some of it is an fu And I
got zero proms with that. He's your kid. You're not
gonna let him go to jail. But think about all

(22:24):
of those Democrats who run around going, yeah, Trump's not
above the law. He's just not.

Speaker 19 (22:29):
He's a bad guy, He's not above the law. The
justice system works, you're looking at it work. He wants
special favors and whatnot. And then all of a sudden
it was like, Eh, no, I'm gonna do it. And
part of that goes back to the thing I've talked
about for a long time.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
They're not us. They're not like us. We can pretend
that like nobody's above the law, they're all the same.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
They don't travel like we do. They don't run in
the same circles as we do. This excitement of this experiment,
many many, many many years ago, of hey self governance,
We're gonna have regular folks govern themselves. Somewhere along the
line people decided, nah, we all want to just this.

(23:19):
This is We're not gonna have royalty, but this is
as close as we're gonna get and so yeah, I mean,
my god, the insider trade all day. Martha Stewart went
to jail for its right or trading, and these people do.

Speaker 11 (23:36):
It all day.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Every time they try to pass a law that says,
all right, here's the deal, guys. You guys can't come
out of a meeting where somebody's gonna get great news
or bad news, then sell all your stock or buy
as much as possible, and us go, hey, you know,
don't do this stuff because otherwise you're breaking the law.
It's just insane. They don't travel like we do. I've

(24:00):
been with them, man, I tell you all the time.
The time went down to the border. It's a trip.
I'm driving around and all these giant black SUVs with
our own security, and all these people of their secretaries,
which is numerous. It's like an entourage. Everywhere we go.
We go to a restaurant, it's an aunt. It's not
the same.

Speaker 13 (24:20):
You know.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yesterday so and you guys will find this out a
little bit later. Doing a show yesterday for fill In,
one of my buddies had an incident. His wife did,
so I jumped on for him. But I was talking
about this and the people that were listening on that station,
were pissed. But they they are like us. They're not

(24:43):
like you. They're not spend one day in their shoes
where you've got security and you've got four or five
minions doing all of the things going hey, go get
me a soda and and something to eat, and can
you get so and so on the phone. It's not

(25:04):
the same. It's not. We can pretend it is. We'd
be like, ah, it's not Leay this, it's not the same.
I was talking to my buddy Matt yesterday. So Matt's
like Chad. I was listening because he was on after me.
So I filled in for somebody yesterday for quite a
long time. And as I was doing it, Matt says, Dude,

(25:24):
I was listening you talk about it not being the same,
that you know, these people live in a different world.
He goes, you're so right. He goes, I went to
the Georgia Alabama game, and he goes, I went with
the you know, spear of the house, and he's got
all the security. Let me tell you something, man walking
through ninety thousand people with security guys all dressed up
and they're black pushing people, and we've got a large

(25:44):
swath of people in front of us, and they're moving
them like they're part in the Red Sea, and we
can go anywhere and do just about anything. He goes.
I was only doing that for day, and I was like,
I could totally get used to this. Yes, we want
them to be the same, but they're not. And that's
what pisses us off, as it should for God's sakes.

(26:08):
And I'll say this, you know, the whole the powers,
the great afrodisiak isn't just for women with men who
are powerful. It's an afrodisiac for everybody. It's seductive. It's
like ooh, even stars. So even major stars they don't

(26:30):
have what politicians have. They don't they don't have that,
even if they've got all the the no, like you
can sit here and talk about, well the Taylor Swift
got all the Yeah, Taylor Swift doesn't have anything compared
to what heads of state our politicians have, especially the

(26:51):
highest levels where when you're flying, everybody stays at your
way if you will, when you go somewhere, there's a
doctor in the next room. I mean, this is the

(27:13):
kind of stuff that's great. So when we say they're
you know, they're just like us. They're really not, and
so it can piss you off. And I understand that
I'm not saying they're better than us, but when you
say that, they live their lives so they're jet. Let's
let's not pretend. Please Hillary Clinton and you have nothing
in common. She hasn't driven a car in like thirty

(27:37):
five years. She hasn't gone anywhere where she didn't have
twenty people surrounding or doing her bidding. That's a little powerful.

three at Chad Benson Show, your Twitter, you Instagram. A

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Fronting with Scissors sounds great compared.

Speaker 20 (29:21):
To this same I believe this is the first time
the US president has pardoned both his son and a turkey.
In the same week, Biden released a statement saying that
the charges in Hunter's case were politically motivated, and his
son was selectively and unfairly prosecuted. In other words, that
Biden presidency has now entered the Grandpa doesn't give a

(29:41):
damn about what you think.

Speaker 21 (29:42):
Phase.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It's it's easy to laugh about now. I said it
earlier and I'll say it again. This is also a
few Democrats phase. You wanted me out, you got me out.
You think I'm letting my kid go to jail? Oh no,
I promise the lot of things you guys I thought
were on my team then you stabbed me in the back.

(30:05):
So a few and the horse you rode in on,
and some of them are old enough to remember it
when there were only horses. Oh God, said I've said yesterday.
I got zero problems with it. I got zero problems
with it. The Democrats have a huge problem with it.
The rights laughing because like the hypocrisy of it all,

(30:26):
And how dare you say that that there's no no way,
shape or form the Department of Justice or any of
these things can be political and then come out and
say it's political. So they're laughing about that, and then
the left is going, wow, we look like ass hats.
Yeah you do kind of one hundred percent. But you
look like that before anyways, So I don't really think

(30:48):
that's much of a change. That's what I'm trying to
tell you. Weird story from Hawaii to California, a to Mexico.
If you're not following this story, the whole things just
kind of odd. A lady comes to California and there's
lots of twist and turns because she doesn't get her
connecting flight well, or Buddy Alex tells us.

Speaker 21 (31:10):
Hannah Kobyashi's family has indicated she might have been kidnapped.
She sent odd messages before her phone went dark. Her
family has been camped out in La from Hawaii looking
for her. Father killed himself last month near Lax Now.
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell has told police commissioners investigators have
determined Kobyashi intentionally missed her connecting flight at lax. Family

(31:32):
members are angry police released that detail without briefing them first,
and the family contends she did not intentionally miss her
flight all.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
So did she or did she not? Well, here's the thing.
In today's world, it's hard to hide because of cameras,
and there are plenty of cameras out there because The
thought originally was like she was kidnapped, she had to
be kidnapped. Was she kidnapped? She had to be kidnapped?
Not so much.

Speaker 22 (31:59):
We reviewed video surveillance from US Customs and Border Protection
which clearly shows Kobeyah she crossing the United States border
on foot into Mexico. She was alone with her luggage
and appeared unharmed.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Okay, so she was alan with her luggage, appeared unharmed.
She's heading across the border. Are they stopping her? Did
she have to fill out anything? Do they have a
CB one app on that side?

Speaker 23 (32:24):
She traveled through the MTA. She then made it to
Union Station. At Union Station, she used her passport and
cash to purchase a ticket to get to the border,
and she then crossed the border.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
That's what she did across the border.

Speaker 23 (32:37):
There By looking at her past social media, we then
saw indications that there were some desires or posts that
would be consistent in somebody who would have the desire
to disconnect.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
And let's be honest for a second. Obviously, her family
and then are going through all kinds of stuff. Her
father killed herself less than a month ago right in
near lax She is having serious issues, has posted all
kinds of cryptic things all over but knowing what you're
going through, and this, one of the officers brings us
up here, is knowing what is going on with your

(33:11):
family because they're all suffering as well. You to do
something like this feels, you know, likes, It affects everybody,
and on top of that, it takes away the manpower
slash person plower power slash women power of you know,
people off their normal beat of trying to protect the

(33:33):
city of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas because you
got them on a wild goose chase. I mean for
a couple of days. This was like this lady disappeared,
she was kidnapped. It was just odd. And then they're like,
let's look at the cameras. What does the camera say?

Speaker 22 (33:47):
I ask would be to anybody considering doing this, think
about the people that you're leaving behind, Your loved ones
who are going to be worried, sick about you. The
number of people including law enforcement and other partners, who
are going to be looking for you, which then potentially
takes them away from other work that is also critically important.
So there's a lot other than somebody just deciding that

(34:09):
they want to leave and disconnect. Consider those that are
behind you and those that will be impacted by your actions.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Little consideration, And she's going through something, so let's not
pretend that that's not happening. She's absolutely going through something.
The question, though, is the battle between her family and
the cops, because they're like, she was definitely kidnapped. I'm like,
I've seen kidnapping things before on television, mostly movies. I
don't remember them going, hey, get all your luggage and

(34:39):
meet us over here. It seems like an odd thing.
I think there's some mental health problems, and you think
somebody's going through something right now, especially with the loss
of their father. But you would also think, knowing what
that's done to affect you, what about the family as well,
They're being affected, and all of a sudden you disappear
odd odd indeed. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

(35:01):
twenty three. It's your tax line. Feel free to text us.
Got some good texts, got some good calls. Love it
when you do that, and we'll play some of those
next hour, including some interesting ones on immigration several other things.
You can also check out our x which is at
Chad Benson Show our Instagram if I can get back
on it, because for whatever reason, this two term authenticator

(35:24):
thing came out of nowhere and now it's not letting
me get into my damn instinct. Count stupid and check
out of course, Chad Benson Show TV. That is the YouTube,
like and subscribe there for The Chad Benson Show coming up,
hour number two. A lot of stuff to get to COVID.
So there's a controversial not so controversial. But there's a

(35:46):
new report out yet another report and this one says, yeah,
it was a lab leak. Guys, can we just stop
pretending what? Yeah, it was a lab leak. I've always
said it was a lab leak. We're gonna talk a
bit about that because of insanity. Also, Australia get aide
they're banning social media. It's official for kids under the

(36:07):
age of sixteen. A lot of questions though, like a
how do you do it? How do you enforce it?
And what are the penalties if you miss any of
the show. I always said this shame grab the podcast
much appreciate it. This is z Chad Bensonship.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Can it happen? Dean Anda? What am I talking about?
Banning social media for the youngsters the utes sixteen and under?
Social media no more in Australia. It's official. Get a.

Speaker 24 (37:10):
Australia's center left labor government has just passed a world
first social media ban, making headlines across the globe.

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Australia has now done something that no other country has
been able to do.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
They are all looking at what we are doing for.

Speaker 25 (37:24):
It's senator to prove the world's strictest at laws.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
And they are applauding what.

Speaker 21 (37:29):
We are doing.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Anybody out there has got kids, listen.

Speaker 9 (37:32):
Not with the first country in the world to ban
the use of social media apps for anyone under the
age of.

Speaker 11 (37:37):
Sixteen, that's pretty huge.

Speaker 24 (37:40):
The ban will prevent children under the age of sixteen
from creating an account or using social media sites including Facebook, Instagram.

Speaker 11 (37:49):
TikTok x and Snapchat.

Speaker 24 (37:51):
At this stage, YouTube will be exempt, along with messaging services,
online games like roadblocks, and health or education apps, but
those details else will be worked.

Speaker 11 (38:01):
Out over the next twelve months. The hope is that
the band will protect children from the harmful side of
social media.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Oh what so wait a minute, here, I want to
get this correct. So which ones can I use? Again?
I can use YouTube? Oh okay, it's like soa bizarre
this is look. Social media is a lot of things.

(38:30):
It's a nightmare. It is frustrating, as we talked about
today with my Instagram trying to get on the damn thing.
Now I need some sort of two face authentication BIS.
But parenting, good old fashioned parenting, also helps in situations
like this and how how how are you doing this?

Speaker 26 (38:54):
It is about making sure that children have a childhood
and parents have pace of mind.

Speaker 27 (39:00):
When you limit social media use, depression and anxiety gets better.

Speaker 24 (39:04):
Seventy seven percent of Australians support the ban, according to
international research group you gov. Parents are scared and overwhelmed
and they don't know how to protect their children.

Speaker 11 (39:15):
But there's been no shortage of opposition.

Speaker 27 (39:18):
Social media has had catastrophic consequences for some young people,
but cutting it off all together, we'll have catastrophic consequences
for other young people.

Speaker 28 (39:29):
Parents over the summer holidays can tell their kids it's
illegal to be on your phone, it's illegal to be
on social media, get off it. It doesn't actually make
social media safer for young people.

Speaker 11 (39:44):
And that's the devastating thing about this.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
I just I'm fascinated because, look, there's no doubt we
have a loneliness problem. We have a problem with young
men and women being depressed being on social medium life.
And I were talking about this last night. You know,
everybody only gives you the good face on social media.
Now the new thing is to give you your the
ugly face, the regular face. They go, oh, you're so brave,
but they're doing it for a reason. It's everybody's best

(40:08):
foot forward. Even if they're trying to show you this
is my best foot, it doesn't get any better me
when they're really wanting praise. There's no doubt that that's real.
And there is dark, evil things that can happen on
social media. It's also good things that can happen on
social media. And here's the other thing. So you're telling
people okay, no social media, Okay, fine, but I have

(40:30):
the Internet, right, you're not taking that away. Well, no,
we're not taking that away. So what do I care
If I have social media on an app, If I
can go on the internet elsewhere and do other things
that I want to do, I'll find a way. Ooh,
because it finds a way.

Speaker 24 (40:48):
Some raising concerns government, he's encroaching on what should be
a parent.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
I want to hear say that again government.

Speaker 24 (40:56):
Some raising concerns government, he's encroaching on which it would
be a parent's responsibility.

Speaker 14 (41:02):
Ultimately, it's a tool parents can have, but they are
still the determinant of how they raise their children, not government.

Speaker 27 (41:08):
Eating them off social media isn't going to wind back
the clock so that they can leave the childhoods that
we did. It's going to invariably nudge them into darker,
less safe corners of the internet.

Speaker 24 (41:19):
Ladi's bill was introduced just over a week ago before
going to a final vote today, but the process has
been criticized by some as being rushed in a.

Speaker 11 (41:29):
Bid to clear the federal government's agenda before the end
of the parliamentary year.

Speaker 28 (41:34):
We are not sure yet whether this hasty, blunt attempt
will do anything to reduce the social harms. Clearly we
should be doing something, but this is not the way
to do it.

Speaker 24 (41:45):
It eventually passed through Australia's parliament with support from both
of the country's major parties, but not without change.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Yeah, we need champ first of all, I because here's
the thing. We've got it here in America. We've had
a couple states try to put stuff as far as
bands or age restrictions and certain things on everything from yes,
porn all the way to social media. I'm just trying
to figure it out. But those are just kind of
more of like, I mean, Australia's going to one step further.

(42:15):
Ours are saying, well, we'll come after you maybe, But
how do you even regulate any of that? What if
mom and dad? I mean, I'm just trying to figure
this whole thing out, Like, how do you do that?
I understand then it's not great for kids at times.
I understand there's just a lot of things that aren't
great for kids. But that's where parenting comes in. Parenting

(42:37):
is a good thing.

Speaker 24 (42:39):
One question remaining how will tech companies actually verify the
age of their users. Some were concerned the band would
force Australians to hand over their government issued ID government
including passports and drivers' licenses, to prove that they're over
the age of sixteen. In response, last minute amendments were
made to prevent platforms from requesting digital ID unless they

(43:03):
offer an alternate method of age verification that could take
the form of experimental facial recognition technology or linking a
credit card to an account to prove your over eighteen.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Wow, now you're starting to get into the bizarre. Hey,
we're here to protect you. By the way, give us
all your information so we can protect you.

Speaker 29 (43:23):
These amendments mean that no Australian will be forced to
use government identifification, including digital ID for age assurance on
social media.

Speaker 11 (43:34):
This is a rubbish bill.

Speaker 28 (43:36):
It has no substance and it doesn't even take place
for another twelve months.

Speaker 24 (43:43):
Giving twelve months for social media companies to develop the
technology with a thread of a fifty million dollar fine
for non compliance hanging over their heads. The onus is
firmly on big tech to make sure this span works.

Speaker 26 (43:57):
Platforms now have a social respect on stability to ensure
the safety of our kids is a priority for them.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Now, I want to say this, why is it their responsibility?
Just you know, it's a lot when you look at it.
It's a lot to try to put together perfection when
you've got Wakado's out there doing all kinds of stuff

(44:27):
and people think things are funny and they're awful, And
why is it always there shouldn't be like a partnership
with like, look, do everything you can to stop all
the bad things, and we'll do all the things we
can to tell our kids not to be you know,
following some of the latest insane trends and you know,
to keep them grounded. Like we're passing off parenting to

(44:51):
social media, which again is insane. And the fifty million
dollars it fifty million dollars per er, what per issue is.
They're like, Okay, if you get ten thousand issues, well,
if you've got forty million people on social media, chances
are you're gonna have a few issues. And I go

(45:11):
back to the parenting as well, because parents are gonna
be like, well, this is dumb. Here you go, there
you go. You've been on it for four years. What's
the difference now you turned sixteen in six months? Or
you can go play rollblocks or just go on the internet.
It's it feels to me I because this is a
big deal for like, because this is a tester fish.

(45:34):
And the funny thing is watching the Australians and several
other people talk about there, it's like, you know who
does this, well, China. You're like, oh, is that where
we're going with this. China does this well.

Speaker 24 (45:43):
A digital duty of care has also been imposed, requiring
platforms to delete any personal information collected.

Speaker 29 (45:51):
It also sends a strong signal to social media platforms
Tree of Australians privacy.

Speaker 30 (45:57):
Seriously, we don't argue that its implementation will be perfect,
just like the alcohol ban for under eighteens doesn't mean
that someone under eighteen never has access, but we know
that it's the right.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Thing to do.

Speaker 24 (46:11):
Big tech companies are unsurprisingly expressing concern over the new laws,
drawing criticism from global tech giant Meta and The Hour
of Elon musk Oh.

Speaker 26 (46:23):
Look, I think we should treat the concerns of social
media companies with the world's largest grain of salt.

Speaker 24 (46:30):
Australian children can continue using social media for now. The
band will come into effect in a year.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
You guys can continue to use Heroin until we figure
out how to regulate it the right way. So bizarre,
just a peak at what everybody's going to be trying.
And my thing, besides the parenting, is simply, how do
you enforce something when billions of pea people are using it?

(47:02):
How do you do that? Or you just get rid
of it and say, you know what, We're not gonna
have it here. Sorry, it's just too much of a hassle.
And then you put your kids in an awkward situation
where if you start taking away technology, we're not going
back to the horse and buggy unless the aliens want
us to. Then we'll discuss, but we're not so the

(47:22):
more that you hamstring them, that's not good. And then
you're gonna get parents snitching on other parents. You know, Jody,
her parents let her go on the internet slash social media. What, well,
I'm gonna call the Internet police. Three two, three, five,

(47:45):

(49:33):
This year be the one the only Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 31 (49:48):
There's a theme too, and it's a little different. It's
more about the generous spirit part of the holidays. It's
called Giving Tuesday, and last year it reportedly helped raise
more than three billion dollars for nonprofits and organizations around
the world. Tuesday was started twelve years ago at the
famous ninety second Street Why in New York City and
has since become its own nonprofit. Every year on the
Tuesday after Thanksgiving, organizations we'll ask folks to consider donating.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Yeah, sometimes you just want to give and give till
it hurts kids. That's all I'm saying, give till it hurts.
So we had Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday, Small
Business Saturday. I think it's this weekend. It's about giving,
and it's not just about giving money. Sometimes you just
you think here's a great place in Texas. Sometimes you
just need to give something. You got something, they need something.

(50:33):
It's like uh, you know, hey, let me help you
with this.

Speaker 31 (50:36):
In South Texas, this is also a big day for
People Assisting Animal Control or PACK, which provides low cost spaying, neutering,
and veterinary treatment. Founder Cheryl Martinez told me that sometimes
on Giving Tuesday, folks won't just donate money.

Speaker 21 (50:48):
We needed a washer and a dryer, and somebody found
out about it and they said, well, could we just
buy you the wash and a drawers?

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Sure, that'd be great.

Speaker 31 (50:57):
And as PACK looks to build a new facility and
double their annual search from nine to eighteen thousand, Cheryl
says the donations they receive this holiday season can go
a long way.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
That's a great Bob Barker you used to say, make
sure you get your cats and dogs, Spade and Newter,
all right, don't let it happen. They're out there running
around right, especially in Trump's world, because there's no cat abortions,
there's no dog abortions. I don't think that's very nice chat.
Just what it is, kids, Okay, so just deal with
it on this Giving Tuesday. So this is interesting. I

(51:26):
have a chance to talk about this yesterday, but I
wanted to are you ready for a new kind of pricing.
When you go to the store, you're thinking, what kind
of pricing could we have surge pricing on soup?

Speaker 18 (51:36):
Okay, So these are the new digital price screens.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
So the whole goal of these.

Speaker 18 (51:43):
Is to adjust the prices on the items as they.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Become more in demand.

Speaker 18 (51:48):
So for example, right now, these are ninety cents. Let's
say around six o'clock or during the busier time, these
will go up to a dollar, and they'll fluctuate based
off of demand.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
It's kind of like when you go to those like
a soda machine. In the summer, hot outside two hundred degrees,
it might be two dollars and fifty cents for a soda.
In the winter, it might be a dollar thirty. That's
called serge pricing. Okay. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(52:19):
twenty four to twenty three at Chatpenson shows your Twitter
tweet at is text to program right here in the
Chatpenson show.

Speaker 18 (52:28):
These are connected to the Wi Fi and to the registers.
Once the inventory on these items become low, the prices
will start to shoot up to a dollar twenty. They're
going to.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Start to incorporating all these all over.

Speaker 18 (52:41):
Yeah, so it's pretty crazy I'll come back later on
in the day and you'll see this go up and
down your price.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
And speaking of food, the banana art. Remember that guy
paid like six plus million dollars for banana art. Guess
what he did? He hate the banana.

Speaker 32 (52:57):
Crypto entrepreneur who bought a banana duct taped to a
wall for six point two million dollars in what might
be the wackiest art sale ever is eating the banana.
Justin Sun chow down on the artwork, proclaiming it's much
better than other bananas.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
It's really quite good.

Speaker 32 (53:17):
But get this, the most expensive banana in the world
originally sold for just thirty five cents at this roofstand
outside seth of Be's in Manhattan, But now the fruit
vendor who sold it says he's feeling pretty rotten. Shah
Alum is a seventy four year old immigrant from Bangladesh.
He makes just twelve dollars an hour for twelve hour

(53:38):
shifts at the stand. Rain or Shine. To thank him
for selling the prize banana, Justin Sun says, I decided
to buy one hundred thousand bananas from his stand in
New York's Upper East Side. That's twenty five thousand dollars
worth of bananas. Now that's really bananas.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Breaking news, Breaking news from the other part of the world,
South Korea. What the hell is going on there?

Speaker 25 (54:48):
The South Korean president unsuccul has declared martial law. He
got an announced late night television address to the nation.
He has said that he's had no choice but to
resort to such a measure in order to safeguard free
and constitutional order, saying the opposition parties have taken hostage

(55:09):
of the parliamentary process. He's declared the martial law to
try and free the Republic of career, he says, from
the threat of North Korean communist forces and to eradicate
what he says is the despicable pro North Korean anti
state forces. Now, he did not say in the late
night address which so say was unannounced. What specific measures

(55:30):
are going to be taken. The opposition leader there in
the South Korean Parliament has responded in the minutes after
that announcements, saying that he will try to nullify the move,
but that the military may try to arrest members of parliament.
This is a breaking story that is developing all the time.
Will of course bring you so friends.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Albert Skai knows who really are in our friends, but
they are now so South Korea. The president he's declared
martial law. Apparently he thinks the up Position party is
hanging out with the North Koreans Kim jongum, and they
are part of an anti state activity. He says Jun
that is the president label. The opposition action is clear

(56:11):
anti state behavior aimed at inciting rebellion. He further claimed
these acts have paralyzed state affairs and turned the National
Assembly into a den of criminals. That is a lot
of things happening over there, and I don't know what
happens from here, like martial laws and everybody stay in
your house again. This is all happening fast. You'n accused

(56:33):
the opposition of turning the nation to a drug haven
and creating a state of disorder detrimental to the public
safety and livelihood of South Koreans. He also said the
Democratic Party was attempting to overthrow the liberal democratic system,
declaring the National Assembly has become a monster undermining liberal

(56:53):
democracy and the nation is in a precarious state. So
when you think Democrats, he's going to go away. Kids,
the first thing you do is take away democracy. So
there's that.

Speaker 30 (57:07):
What.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Meanwhile, back here, we spent a lot of money.

Speaker 33 (57:10):
Yesterday, Cyber Monday remains the biggest online shopping day of
all time. In the peaked hours of eight pm to
ten pm, consumers spent fifteen point eight million dollars every minute.
This is the research firm Adobe Analytics. Shoppers took advantage
of bigger than expected discounts and categories such as electronics, toys, clothing, TVs,
and computers. Discounts were roughly between twenty and thirty percent.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Huge numbers yesterday, and I'm talking big numbers. And every
time it just gets better and better and better. New record.
Easily the biggest day ever and there's still plenty of deals.
Let's tell my kids that yesterday. Look, here's the thing.
Depending on how the season goes and it's the shorter
of the normal season as far as the days you

(57:55):
shop in between, especially on weekends, because that's a big deal.
How many weekends do you get, Well, you don't get
as many weekends as normal. So you're going to find
a lot of deals still, and there's a lot of
deals out there, but my goodness me, we spent a
lot of money. You're still thinking about North Korea and
South Korea maybe doing something, and let's not forget if
you guys just joined the program. Little breaking news. South

(58:17):
Korea has declared a state of emergency martial law, saying
that the opposition party is conspiring with the North. It's
turned into a drug den and we have lots of
soldiers over there. So let us not forget those things.
Now we pivot gracefully to COVID. Do you guys remember COVID?
It was bad, right, It became political, which was never

(58:39):
a good thing, but it did. So there's that. And
yet another study has come out, another study. What does
this study say, Yeah, pretty much the lab league thing
was totally real, no way. Yeah. Doctor Redfield, who was
a big part of all of this, who led pretty
much everything when it came to COVID and all the
stuff we were doing out there. Bob Robert at Ffield's name,

(59:02):
I call him Pomp, had a lot to say about it.

Speaker 34 (59:04):
The bulk of the evidence that they have is that
it originated from the lab and not natural spillover. And
I will say, Chris, we don't have a lot of time.
There really is a lot of evidence to support that conclusion.
But most of the evidence, and I think we'll see
it soon, is really the intelligence I said this, you
know probably two years ago that this will be not

(59:25):
be solved by science, this will be solved by the
intelligence community. I think we can anticipate, hopefully in the
next several months that there'll be a revision of the
intelligence community success assessments.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Yeah, so what are they saying, Well, lablink, lab leak
is what they're saying. So this is five years after
the shutdown, they're now coming out. Yeah, we're pretty damn
certain this this is no longer like and I've said,
you know, here's the thing. You can't have a conversation
about COVID without who what about this? You just think

(01:00:01):
it came from lab. I didn't think it was created
in a lab. I think it was screwed within a lab,
totally different thing. So something that occurred potentially in nature,
but for the most part not really tough to transmit
between animal and human and rarely, if ever happens, doesn't
spread easy, for the most part harmless. Then you get

(01:00:24):
a bunch of people like I got a great idea,
stick with me, let's screw with it. What no, no, no,
let's let's let's take it right because one day there
could be a pandemic, and so let's play with it.
So it gets used to the human body and we'll
give it all of the things it needs so it
can really once it gets to the body, it can

(01:00:45):
attach itself to the body in a very easy way,
therefore spread easily. And while all that's going on, will
come up with a way to stop it from happening.
But it wasn't gonna happen, but we're gonna create a
way for it to habit, and then we'll figure out
to stop.

Speaker 34 (01:01:00):
We have both the FBI and the Energy Department who's
concluded with their scientists that this has come from the
Wuhan lab, and we have a number of the others
that either said it maybe came from nature with low confidence,
or they make no comment, they don't go either way.
I think you're going to see a revision of the

(01:01:22):
intelligence communities, and I think there'll be consensus that they
all are going to come to the same conclusion that
the Congress did in this House report, that the bulk
of the evidence is that this originated from a lab.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
The bulk of the evidence. Now that is, of course,
it goes against something that the government doesn't really want
you to know. But I think we all kind of
believe that now, even well outside of the people who
need to wear a mask to show everybody who they
voted for, the bulk of the evidence has always been
and you couldn't even bring it up. That was the insane.
But you couldn't even bring the damn thing up. So
wait a minute here, I want to go over this again.

(01:01:56):
It originated from here, Yes, at a wet market. Okay, okay,
you say so, but don't you guys also have a
facility over here where things have not always been locked
down tight and things have escaped from there almost and
there's been a lot of issues and you guys, are
you know doing this stuff? Somebody at a panglin what

(01:02:18):
a penguin no, a Penglin, what is it out? It's
an animal today.

Speaker 34 (01:02:22):
Part of the reasons that some of the scientists have
not been as forthright in this regard, and maybe why
I've been fingered by some of them, is that they
don't want the federal government regulating science. I happen to
be one who feel we should have a moratorium on
gain of function research and then decide some regulations if
we're going to do this research, how to do in

(01:02:44):
the safe, responsible, effective way. And I think that's the
real issue here. But I think if you read the report,
and there are a lot of things there in the
report about the virology looking at some of the aspects
of this virus' sequences that just aren't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
And that's the part we talked about not natural, meaning
this thing may have came from nature, but once it
got into the lab, lab folk, doctors and scientists screwed
with it, making it essentially a monster. And that's the

(01:03:22):
issue that everybody's brought up over and over again, and
people were shunned, and people were told they were going
to lose their jobs, and you're told to shut up
when you brought up because the last thing any human
being wants to acknowledge is that maybe government and scientists
left around and everybody found out. And this is not
about denying that it ever happened. It was fake. It's

(01:03:42):
about finding out the truth and we could sit here
and talk about it. I want to find out the
truth about this. I want to find out the truth
about that this thing killed millions of people, disrupted lives
for several years for some kids, they're still struggling here
in America. There needs to be some sort of come
to Jesus moment, don't you think? Three two, three, five,

(01:04:03):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show

lot of stuff still to get to, a new segment

Speaker 35 (01:05:47):
Welcome to cheste No, not the country, the institution, the
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
They're doing something new here on the show today, and
I think you guys are gonna like it. It's called
t Yes, that's Trump derangement syndrome where we listen to
people who are losing their effing minds. It's now time
for another episode of Trump derangement syndrome.

Speaker 36 (01:06:18):
No, no, no, Trump did not win Farence quick there.

Speaker 37 (01:06:23):
We're all just opposed to I don't know, acquiescence say,
lying incessantly by Trump Republicans in the right wing media
ecosystem is aoka. That Russian interference in our election is
what just the way it is, that billionaires in corporation
should be able to pour an unlimited amount of untraceable

(01:06:44):
dark money into our elections. That Republicans using fake as
pretending to be from Kamala.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
Is what just fine.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Wow, We're not done because we're in the middle of
Trump derangement syndrome.

Speaker 36 (01:06:58):
That Elon Musk is sally buying people's votes is undisputably
acceptable or making it more difficult to vote or removing
citizens from the voter rolls in red state after red state.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
Is something we're supposed to just live with that.

Speaker 38 (01:07:15):
It doesn't matter that entire social media platform x was
supercharged to become a Trump propaganda machine, with Elon Musk
alone posting lies.

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
About the election that were viewed more than two billion times.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Interrupt arrangements syndrome.

Speaker 39 (01:07:37):
Look, Democrats and pundits are now falling all over themselves
to talk about how Democrats, the party who has fought
for better healthcare, lower prescription prices, union's collective bargaining, higher
minimum wage, childcare, etc.

Speaker 18 (01:07:51):
Etc.

Speaker 36 (01:07:52):
Don't understand the.

Speaker 40 (01:07:53):
Working class, while the unscrupulous, uncarrying, misogynistic billionaire bro party
is suddenly the gold standard as opposed to the party
crawling with unbridled corruption and who.

Speaker 37 (01:08:06):
Will do anything and everything to win. We should never
except that the way it is is the way it
should be.

Speaker 40 (01:08:14):
Do you agree?

Speaker 25 (01:08:16):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
I think you've lost your mind because you have Trump
derangement syndrome. I wonder if anybody else has it, well,
this person does.

Speaker 41 (01:08:24):
Trump voters are either highly highly uneducated or fundamentally bad people.
Either they don't understand the issues and they're voting on
something they don't understand, or they do understand the issues,
and they understand that by voting for Trump they will
harm people, and they do it anyway, making them a
bad person. Or the third category, which is that you
are willfully ignoring every piece of data that contradicts your viewpoint,
making you a idiot.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Wow, how do you really feel, sir? Do you have
a little bit of trumpt derangement syndrome?

Speaker 41 (01:08:53):
What gives me a bit of hope that Trump's second
term will be much more effective, That he will have
the courts on his side, that he will have a
plan that he didn't have the first time, that he
expected to win this time, that things are actually going
to get demonstrably worse for the majority of people. What
I can hope from that is that white dude's lives
will start getting worse and they'll start understanding that Trump
wasn't such a good idea. Then maybe they'll wake the

(01:09:14):
fuck up. Then maybe that's my one shred of hope.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
That you're one shred of hope, because you right now
are hopeless because you have Trump derangement syndrome.

Speaker 41 (01:09:25):
It's tragic, right, I wish people's lives wouldn't get worse.
But I can hope that as people's lives get worse
under Trump, they will wake the fuck up. And that's
all I can hope for, because tariffs will make life
harder on everyone universally. Right, It's not just gonna be like, oh,
the Muslims are having a bad time, but I don't
give it because I'm a piece of fit.

Speaker 7 (01:09:42):
Right.

Speaker 41 (01:09:42):
It's like gonna be like, oh, no, everything is more
expensive for me as a white guy. And then maybe
they'll blame Trump, which they should, but like, maybe they'll
actually do that for once, and I just hope. I
just hope. That's my one thing I'm holding on to
is like maybe they'll maybe their lives will get worse,
they'll wake the fuck up.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
I don't know, Well, Sarah, I can prescribe you something
for your Trump derangement syndrome, but I don't know if
there's enough. I don't know if I have enough. What
is the hole? Like, well, if we only have tariffs
on Muslims, wait, what what does that even mean? I
don't know. It sounds like you've got a bad case

(01:10:20):
of Trumped derangement syndrome.

Speaker 42 (01:10:22):
In all my years, I've never seen anything as fragile
as a maga man.

Speaker 37 (01:10:27):
Not only do they.

Speaker 42 (01:10:28):
Go around worshiping an eighty year old, overweight, unhealthy man
who wears more makeup than anyone I've ever met, but
they take his win as some kind of personal victory
for them. When ninety five percent of his voters do
not fall into the tax bracket that will benefit in
any way from his presidency, they voted for him to
take their money away and give it to himself and

(01:10:49):
his rich friends, and they scream and holler like it's
some kind of victory.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Hw ma'am. As a doctor playing it on the radio,
I can only say my diagnosis is you have Trump
derangement syndrome.

Speaker 42 (01:11:09):
On top of that, Trump allows them, for the first
time in their life, to feel superior to others. They
know that women's rights will be taken away, that Latinos
will be deported, that under Trump's administration, and open racism
towards black people will be far more accepted, and all
of this makes the maga men feel good because putting
other people down is the only thing that gives them

(01:11:29):
joy in life. They have an ego like a fragile toddler,
and watching other people suffer is the way they get off.
So of course they're all really happy right now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
It's fatal, man, there's nothing we can do. You have
four years to live under this. Yeah, it's a new
episode inside of our show. Little thing we're doing called
Trump Derangement Syndrome three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four twenty three at Ched Benson shows your Twitter acts

other stuff to get to as well. God, listening to
those people lose their mind, it's so hilarious. For a
while there it was like, come on, you know, let's
don't spike the ball. Now it's like spike it, jump

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
I tell you what. Check this out. This is showing
the world that you're not above the law. Might I
remind you that you're not above the law. Nobody is.
No and if you don't believe me, listen to this.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
The idea that no person is above the law is
a bedrock principle of American justice.

Speaker 4 (01:13:56):
No man is above the law, and I agree with you. No,
no man, it's above law. No one is above the law.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):

Speaker 4 (01:14:02):
No one's above the law. No one is above the law.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
No man is above the law.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Nobody is above the law. No one is above the law.

Speaker 10 (01:14:10):
The law.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
He has to be held accountable.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
It's not above the law. The law is a law
and no one should be above it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:17):
Yes, nobody is above the law.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Nobody is above the law, except for people in the government.
Now they're all above the law, breaking the law, breaking
the law than being above the law, above the law.
Just watching people freak the blank out its spectacular. And
then they're like, well, you know, he's a jerk. He's awful,
he's horrible, he's the worst. I can't believe he did this.

(01:14:43):
He was always a bad guy, he's always these things. Hey,
it's kind of funny the way that they've lost their
mind over this. I've said that I figured he was
going to do this. I have no problem with him
doing this because that's your kid, and in some maybe instance,

(01:15:05):
you would have been in the situation where you could
have been in trouble too, So going down with the
ship wasn't gonna be your gig, and you have the
chance to right the wrong in your mind, because you know,
the Justice Department, absolutely one hundred percent above board, would
never ever go after their enemies and or politicize anything

(01:15:27):
kind of did. And so that was his excuse. And wow, ugly.

Speaker 43 (01:15:31):
President Biden pardoning his son not just for the gun
crimes for which he was convicted, and not just for
the tax crimes for which he pled guilty. Instead, Biden
gave his son an extraordinarily sweeping pardon for any and
all crimes he committed, may have committed, or even merely
been involved in, at any point in the last ten years.

(01:15:54):
That broad language unlike any in recent history, and reminiscent
only of President Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon for
quote all offenses against the United States and quote that
the former president had or may have committed during his
entire presidency.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Yeah, like just I mean, okay, how far back, Well
it's tenure. Let's go eleven years, So go back a
little bit further. Well, climate change this thing? What's that? Well,
you know, climate change. When did it start to get warm? Well,
that's when we start keeping records. It's like, that's the
way it is. When did he get potentially in trouble
and was I involved in it ten years ago? Let's

(01:16:32):
go back eleven years that way, We're good. I mean,
you know, we're all good, right, Like everything's good.

Speaker 19 (01:16:37):
Now.

Speaker 9 (01:16:38):
Both of those sentencings were coming up, and I'll say
Hunter Biden was very likely to get sentenced to prison
on one or both of those cases. So this pardon,
in a very real way, spares Hunter Biden from having
to go to prison. He was coming off on sentencing
in his gun case in Delaware, where he was convicted
for being an addict in possession of a firearm. I
will tell you, based on my experience, it is very

(01:17:00):
very rare to see that crime charge essentially in and
of itself. There's also a false statements crime that goes
with it, but the way that Hunter Biden was charging
that Delaware case is extremely unusual.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Yeah, Ellie honing there, smart guy, But get over it. Now.
Here's the thing that's rather interesting. I've been saying this
for a while. It's the biggest f you right now.
You promised your promise. You said you weren't you promise,
you promise you're above the law. You promised your promise,
you did all this stuff. We're promising promising you're never
going to do it. Look at me better than everybody else.
I'm running in the wave of excitement because I am

(01:17:33):
upholding the law and following everything, and oh my goodness,
I'm even letting my son go to the wolves. I
am that kind of person. And then stab in the back,
and then er another stab and then eh and then
all of a sudden, you're gone. You're yesterday's news. You're
thrown out like Christine Blasi Ford onto the trash heap

(01:17:54):
of America. And in doing that, well, I got news
for you. Kids. They're not always thrilled by the way
that you treat them when you discard them and you
feel like, hey, this is about winning, this isn't about
you anymore. And you're an old dude and you've you've

(01:18:16):
served your time. You should go away. And part of
that's on him. You should have gone away. I get it.
But that being said, once they stabbed him in the back,
he was always going to get rid of anything that
was hanging over Hunter's head. Yes, it could have incriminated him,
could have been some ugly stuff down the road, but
the reality simply is as much it was that it
was a big fu.

Speaker 13 (01:18:37):
A couple of things.

Speaker 6 (01:18:38):
One is Joe Biden has party abandoned him, right, so
basically everyone has abandoned Joe Biden, you know, here in Washington,
and you got to wonder if he's looking around saying,
you know what, what's good for Donald.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Trump now is gonna be good for me?

Speaker 6 (01:18:53):
And in the end, the people who really rallied around
in stuck with Joe Biden was his family. Remember we
were the ones saying it was his family, the ones
that were really making the political decisions about what he
was going to do. I do think this, you know,
the two things can be correct. First of all, the
norms are gone, right, we absolutely know that.

Speaker 13 (01:19:14):
But at the same time, air cover.

Speaker 6 (01:19:16):
Has been given to Republicans because Joe Biden has decided
to do this part.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Oh yeah, big time. We'll get that in a little bit.
Chuck Todd, though, has an interesting take. Everybody knew one
Hunter had problems. It was like not really a secret,
but listen to the way he describes it, and just
you know, the No River bres It's so bizarre.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
I follow the Hunter Biden travel very closely.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 44 (01:19:38):
I read every transcript, all the testimony, because that's what
you can.

Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
All that was made public.

Speaker 44 (01:19:44):
And there is you want to you want to read,
you want to you want to get angry just as
a as as somebody in just all these mixed emotions.
You read the Hally Biden transcript and that's both widow
yes and and essentially he turned to into a crack addict.
And this was all happening in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,

(01:20:04):
and Joe and Joe Biden were so concerned about their
family that they decided to run for president.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Yep.

Speaker 44 (01:20:11):
I just so when you talk about the word selfish,
I it's almost like the word doesn't I mean I
Their decision to run for president put the entire Democratic
Party in the United States of America in the position
that it's in now.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
I'm trying to figure out what that position is. Because
Trump won got a lot of votes, a lot of
Americas thinking hey, we like that guy again, we had
to rethink and we're going to do We're going to
try it again this time, We're going to try it
without a pandemic. For the last sixteen months or so,
So interesting the way this is going to play out,
because there's also a question now of what's to do

(01:20:48):
with Trump. Now. I've been saying I think Biden's going
to pardon him because I think it's the right thing
to do. And I've told you guys for the last
several days, people I've talked to in last several weeks,
Trump first thing he was going to do is pardon
Hunter if you want. That was that was gonna happen
by the way. I also said, if she had won,
what's you name, Harris Gott, I forget her name already,

(01:21:09):
she was gonna pardon Trump and Hunter. So all that
was going to go down. There was no doubt about that.
He didn't want to think. I think part of the
thing is, yeah, okay, maybe he didn't want to give
the luxury of Trump pardoning Hunter, but I think it's
as much as fu to the Democratic establishment as anything else.

(01:21:30):
But should he harden Trump? You know what else Biden
should do?

Speaker 45 (01:21:36):
And I know people are gonna get upset about this,
but just think about it before you you go crazy
on me, not you, everybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
If I were he, I would pardon Trump.

Speaker 45 (01:21:46):
I know something, Honestly, I would say, Chris, Chris, That's
exactly what I would do. That's exactly what I would do.
Enough's enough. You know what, you're the Democrat, you lost
to the you lost the election.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
You got your butt whip.

Speaker 45 (01:22:01):
You could prevent him from going back to the White House.
You know, more than a dozen cases have been dropped
against him, the cases that have been ruled against him,
He's going to appeal and he'll probably get off from
having to deal with all of that. It's time to
move forward. You want to get at Trump, sit back
and judge what he does.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
There. You go, absolutely, his cases fell apart. Stuff was
getting thrown out. Stuff's going to be appealed and probably won.
I mean, if you guys have following any of the
appeals process, especially in New York, they're like, uh, why
are you guys here with this? Well, because of you know,

(01:22:39):
we wanted to We went after and we got him. Yeah,
but this was, uh, you guys kind of made some
of this stuff up. It feels well. One of the appeals,
and I think it was the one where he got
in trouble for no victims when it came to the
loans and all that stuff. By the time the appeals

(01:23:03):
hearing had ended, the lawyers that brought it for the
state were like, we hope you don't get sanctioned. Like
that's how bad it is. One more from Steven Ay.

Speaker 45 (01:23:14):
Guess what you got a midterm election in two years?
Are you're going to be ready? If you're a Democratic party,
you should be. You know, he's going to be the presidency.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
For four years.

Speaker 45 (01:23:22):
You're gonna be able to judge every single act that
he does. March forward, Move forward. You know, Gerald Ford
could have he could he you know, he could have
let Nixon suffer. You had to say he didn't let
that happen. Why because it was for the good of
the country. The whole hanging Chad's issue in two thousand
between George W. Bush and al Gore. Gore could have
dragged it on, he didn't. It was for the better

(01:23:43):
of the country. And a lot of times these folks
speak about this stuff, but they don't do what they
say they're going to do and what they implore others
to do, which is where to discuss elevates exponentially for
the SEF for Washington, d C. Because we know they're
full of it most of the time. And today was
the latest example of that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
A friggin' men, Little Steven A. Smith right there, it's
time to move on. It is and you can't tell
everybody out there you're not going to do something, then
do it and expect everybody to go, oh my god,
they may look. Everybody understood he was never going to
go to jail. He could have given him clemency anything,
but he wiped the whole slate clean, so it was

(01:24:23):
like it was never existed. And you also can't come out.
I think the worst thing of all of this is
you came out and you said that this was political
in nature and the Department of Justice essentially was being
used as a tool of revenge to exact something that
right there, to me was as bad as anything else.

(01:24:44):
But mark my words, this was a big fu to
the establishment more than anything else. Three two, three, five,

the magical world of the Internet. Three two, three, five,

(01:29:15):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three At Chad Benson Show,
it's your Twitter, your Instagram, which I for whatever reason,
out of nowhere today they say, hey, Jed, here's a
two you know thing authentication system, and I'm like, okay,
but it doesn't work, so I can't get on my Instagram.
So at least at this point in time, frustrating. You're

(01:29:37):
on the Chad Benson Show. Very frustrating. So much stuff
still on the Hunter Biden thing. I knew it wasn't
gonna go away immediately. It's the shock though, of people
like I can't believe he did it. Really, you can't
believe the he pardoned his kid, Like, you can't belie

(01:30:00):
leave that. I can't believe he's not gonna let his
kid go to jail for ten to twenty five years.

Speaker 41 (01:30:07):
What.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Plus, maybe I'm just saying maybe the big guy had
some issues and maybe he was involved. I'm not saying
it's true, but I'm also not saying it's not. So
you're not gonna let him take the ball for you,
probably not this moment in time. Plus, he's at that

(01:30:29):
point in his life does he give a rats ask
why should he? He's eighty two, He's in overtime of
his life, and you know, he looks out there and says,
you guys stab me in the back. You did all
of these things. Why shouldn't I pardon my kid? Tell me?
It's really interesting to watch that dynamic between him and
the other Democrats. You listened to the show, grab the
podcast that is working. I do know it is the

(01:30:51):
Chat Benson Show, The.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
Chat Benson Joe, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
He is the best of the best when it comes
to all things military. Mike Lyons or military analysts from
retired our major dude has done it all. Dude, you've
kind of done it all. And I've seen you so
many places, and I have said from the beginning, one
person I trust in all of this is you, because
you've got your finger on the pulse. First and foremost.
Let's start with Syria not being talked about what the

(01:31:40):
hell's going on there?

Speaker 47 (01:31:41):
Hi, great to be back, appreciate the opportunity. Boy, this
is a really complex civil war and you have of
let's kind of trying to dumb it down, so I
had to understand it myself. You've got rebel forces that
are all together on one side, that isis al Qaida,
the worst of the worst of all these Middle Eastern
trial basically that the Kurds. You've got all of the

(01:32:04):
you know that that that the West has been funding
and supporting over the past thirty years, Well they've decided
they've got they got their stuff together now and they're
battling up the Syrian military as well as Russia's. On
the other side, You've got Iranian militia groups that are
trying to help Syria as well. So it is a
it is a complete mess of what's going on there,
taking back Aleppo and some of these the northern cities

(01:32:25):
and eastern cities there. Syria is about to maybe get
cut in two because of the level of of of
offense that this rebel group has done. So again, a
lot of it just has to do if they know
that the United States is not going to do something.
Although it was a great report I saw the other
day that said the United States we have troops there.
We have troops in the northern eastern part of Syria,

(01:32:48):
mostly aligned with the Kurds.

Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
We're actually helping them.

Speaker 47 (01:32:51):
I heard that were we brought some a tens to
the battlefield and we're using them to straight some of
these uh, these rebel let's let's call them Iranian a
rocky based militia groups that are there. So it's a
huge mess and that can clean up anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
No, that's for sure. Okay, we go from there to
let's talk about the Middle East. It's unstable. Trump is
doing everything he can to force some seasfires, get some
stuff done before he even gets into office, which is spectacular.
The reality. Let's start with first and foremost, Hezballah and Israel.

(01:33:31):
Where do we stand.

Speaker 47 (01:33:31):
Yeah, So let's talk about from what's happened in this
last year and October seventh. From last year, Israel completely
caught with its defenses down the greatest amount of Israeli
death since the Holocaust, an attack so spectacular, more than
nine to eleven in terms of the percentage of the
population that was killed, kidnapped, in the like. And they

(01:33:54):
really got off to a kind of a rough start
in the first few months there. They weren't really sure
where that was going. Now year and a half, almost
a year and two months later, Hamas has virtually been destroyed.
There's no two states solution happening in the southern part
of that country anytime soon. Hamas has been destroyed. They've
been completely decimated. We saw that they want to try

(01:34:16):
to do some negotiation now, but it's too late. There's
really nobody left to negotiate. And then at the same token,
in the last two months, Israel has done the same
thing that has bloss starting with that amazing pager operation
taking out all the leadership and then making sure that
there's no HEAs blaff forces that are south of the
Tawny River. That's this geographic spot where Israel says that

(01:34:37):
there's got to be like a DMZ so its citizens
can move back. So you take both of Iran's major
proxy forces and they have been decimated. Right now, Ronald
was very weak and frankly, as we turn the corner
into this new year, now Israel has the complete upper
hand there. I wouldn't be surprised if you see soon
after the first of the year, when the Trump administration
comes into power, Israel and hopefully the United States left

(01:35:00):
to see us help, we go after those Iranian nuclear
facilities and make sure that they don't have that capability.
So the tide is completely turned in Israel's favor. Everybody
knows it the second you know the second the second
half swept past the twelve on election day when Trump
got elected net and yah who said game on. And
I think that you're going to see a lot more
of that once once the administration gets in there.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
Talking to Michaelion's military analyst, his thumbs on the pulse
of all things going on, and there's way too many
damned conflicts out there. We move from there to two hamas,
the two state solution. Let's be real, it's not happening
anytime soon. That being said when it does happen Saudi Arabia,
and they have signaled over and over again, Saudi, you
guys got to be a part of this because it
can't just be America in the UN trying to enforce something.

(01:35:43):
They need real Arab nations who can come in, who
don't hate the Jews and just look at them as hey,
you guys could be our trading partners. Let's all be modern.
How does that happen? Can that happen?

Speaker 26 (01:35:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 47 (01:35:53):
I think it does happen with the Trump administration. It
started to happen with the Abram McCords last time. Abraham Mcords,
I think that you're going to see that opportunity really
now show its face. The Jordanians the same way, possibly
even the Egyptians. So the Arab nations are now aligned
well against the Uranians, knowing that they're trying to be

(01:36:14):
that hegemonic power, that almighty power, especially if they get
nuclear weapons. If they get that capability, then there's an
arms race that's going to take place like we haven't
seen before.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
Explain that to everybody. I don't think people realize that
if they got nuclear weapons, we have to make sure
that the likes of the salties and everybody else have
them because there would be the bully on the block
and we can't allow that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
Yeah, So Chad, it's all about deterrence.

Speaker 47 (01:36:38):
And what I mean by that is like deterrence is
you know, keeps other countries from attacking you and what
goes through their mind. There's different kinds of ways of deterrence,
and it's all about how you respond when that happens.
So so the bottom line is this, if the Uranians
get a nuclear weapon, now they're under this nuclear deterrence umbrella,
which says that if you attack them, they're going to
respond with a nuclear weapon. So that they have escalated

(01:37:00):
that level of what they could do. So that's what
makes them, puts them in a different category from a
deterrence level. So, for example, even though Israel has nuclear weapons,
Israel's deterrence is increased escalation, a disproportional response, let's call
it that. So if you hit Israel with one missile,
they fight back with ten missiles. Now that's not to

(01:37:21):
say that they couldn't respond nuclear, but they won't because
of the they recognize that they're most often going against
countries don't have that capability. But the Ranians would look
at this differently if something happened. But if the Ranians
get a nuclear weapon, then they become virtually attack proof
because then at that point, if they could deliver it
as well, that's the one thing to have it, you
have to be able to deliver it. Then they likely
use it in response, in retaliation. So that's where it

(01:37:44):
changes everything. So if that happens, then they threaten all
those other Middle Eastern countries and so you'll see scientists,
you'll see them all develop in the United States likely help.

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
And that's that's not what we want.

Speaker 47 (01:37:55):
We just don't need this nuclear weapon explosion that would
take place, you know, in the Middle East because of this.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Talking to my client's military analysts, you know, you funny
you talk about that. I say on my show kids,
if you learn anything out of Ukraine and North Korea
is North Korea didn't give up their nuclear weapons and
Ukraine did, and all of a sudden, you've got Russia
in Ukraine. So if you ever get a nuclear weapon,
never give it up. Let's go over to the eastern

(01:38:21):
part of Europe. It is nasty, it is ugly. Russia
is making a move. Zelensky sees the riding on the wall.
You've said from before they invaded, this is going to
be land for peace at some point in time, and
it feels like it. It feels like the last push
now is whenever the music stops, Mike, whatever land you got,
that's yours.

Speaker 47 (01:38:41):
Yeah, that's looking like more and more of the solution,
which is why that Ukraine is doing everything they can
chilled onto that cursed region. That the kind of salient
that they took a little and think like Battle of
the Bulgs world War two.

Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
They've taken some parts of Russia.

Speaker 47 (01:38:54):
If they have to give that back, they want something
in return, likely crimea.

Speaker 4 (01:38:58):
But they're not getting it.

Speaker 47 (01:38:59):
I just don't see how they write, since we'll give
that up, they have to have that warm water port.
That's is why that is important what they took it,
you know, twelve years ago to begin with. But the
latest now Zelenski's saying that he'll be willing to stop
a ceasefire if we become if Ukrain becomes part of NATO.
That's a complete NonStop, no non starter, no way that
that can be part of any solution. In fact, that's

(01:39:20):
a the reddest of the red lines for Russia to
begin with. Trump knows that he puts this guy so
General Kellogg. Kellogg is now going to be this envoy
between Russia and Ukraine to try to negotiate the solution.

Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
There.

Speaker 47 (01:39:34):
I'm watching people throw a beer from the bleachers out
of you know, he's not James Baker. That might be
the case, but I think he knows and understands military
strategy and understands deterrence.

Speaker 4 (01:39:43):
Once again, it gets back to that.

Speaker 47 (01:39:44):
I think that the Trump administration goes to the Russians
and say, if you don't stop, we're going to absolutely
throw everything we can at Ukraine and make sure that
you're completely ground down and youre's no way you'll be
able to move this forward. But then also are going
to tell Ukraine, look, you're likely going to lose some
of this land that you haven't had control over the
last twelve years, and there's no way you're going to control.
You're going to become a standing member of NATO. It's

(01:40:06):
just not going to work. We'll give some other security
to agree agreements and assurances and perhaps part of the
European Union. But that's that NATO umbrella that we just
talked about that will take place in the Middle East.
We can't we can't extend that here because that's a
non startup for Russia. So I think that's where the
negotiation goes. And again everybody's waiting for January twentieth for

(01:40:27):
all this to start.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
You know, you talk, and I've said this all long. Essentially,
what I think Trump is going to do is, hey,
look guys, you're going to give this land up. You're
going to get Russia's going to be able to go home.
He's going to have his head held high. I defeated
the West, essentially, kept him out of there, kept NATO away,
et cetera, et cetera. He feels like he's got to win.
Zelensky can look as the great hero who you know,

(01:40:49):
stood up to them and didn't leave. But he does
want some assurances in the insurance. I think, like you said,
it's going to be Trump going in and saying, essentially, look, Russia,
you guys got this. I want this thing to end.
You got a little bit more than you thought you
were going to. There's no reason to seeing more people die,
and so we'll give you assurances. They're not going to
be part of NATO. But here is the other insurance.

(01:41:10):
If you decide to go into Kiev again, you might
as well have invaded North Dakota.

Speaker 4 (01:41:14):
Yeah, I think that's we're part of it.

Speaker 47 (01:41:16):
And Trump usually has another deal, a little more of
a carrot somewhere, and that I think strategically, He's always
looked at Russia as not an enemy, right, I mean,
there's enemies, friends, non enemies, right, And I think that
he might use this as an opportunity to peel Russia
away from being this fascal state of China. Now, I
don't know if that's possible based on the economics. We

(01:41:37):
see the Russian rubles is collapsing right now. We know
that Russia has they've got their handsful of the Syrian
civil War. They're involved with that. That's important to them
because they have another warm water port there in Syriat
Tartis is another strategic situation.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
So Russia's got its hanseful right now. But if Trump
can get Russia peeled.

Speaker 47 (01:41:54):
Away from China economically, I think the Russians would kind
of go for that. And now Trump would get accused
of of being you know, Putin's pupp and all that
other stuff. But again, it just makes sense in the
grand scheme of national strategy for US. We don't want
China to be aligned with Russia, India and North Korea
Oran with this alliance that if something does go break out,

(01:42:14):
I mean that's three or four billion people right there.
So yeah, he does find the people around him. They
think strategically and they look at these kinds of things.
So I think I think that might be part of
a two chat. We just got to see whether or
not the foreign policy community will absorb that in a
positive manner or will they call trumpetrader again like they
did in the first Industry.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
Last question for you, appreciate you coming on is always
Michael Lines and military analysts. When you see some of
the appointments that Trump's throwing out there, Pete Hexkith is
one that's very interesting. Obviously, there's all kinds of controversy
surrounding him, what's true, what's not true? But how do
you feel about this? Being obviously former military, always military,

(01:42:54):
go army, right, and all of that stuff, But how
do you feel when you see some of this stuff
that is up out there and some of these people
that are thrown essentially you know their names in the
hat now for this and it's these are important positions
and you want some cleanup. But at the same time,
are is this is this the right person for the job?

Speaker 47 (01:43:15):
Well, Chad, every one of these guys are transformational. They're
not transactional, which is Trump used is a transaction guy.
And what do I mean by that is from what
I've seen each one of these people that he's nominated
to take from Hegseth down to cash Ptel to you
know now Pam Bondi is the turn of General. They
are clear with Trump's intent and that's what this is
all about. In some ways, I want a Defense secretary

(01:43:35):
that's got a mission. Well, I think Pete Hexset's mission
is to get the DEI out of the military and
make restore the military to fighting and winning the nation's wars,
because we haven't done that in the last twenty years,
and that it's clear about that's what he wants to do.

Speaker 4 (01:43:50):
Now.

Speaker 47 (01:43:50):
That threatens a lot of people, because that threatens a
lot of social programs that have taken place over the
past at this administration and during Obama.

Speaker 4 (01:43:57):
Frankly, so I think that you know that's going to go.

Speaker 47 (01:44:00):
The Pentagon put a sign in every room in the
Pentagon that says the priority of the mission of the
of the military is to fight when the nation's wars.
And if you're having a meeting in that room, and
if we're not talking about that thing, then not having
a meeting. So to me, you know, again, he's not
Robert McNamara.

Speaker 4 (01:44:14):
He's not.

Speaker 47 (01:44:14):
He didn't come from Ford or GM or he didn't
hasn't run a billion dollar company before.

Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
But everyone's crystal clear about what the intent is.

Speaker 47 (01:44:21):
So I think that it's going to be a will
of personality and seems to have a strong personal I've met
him a couple of times. He's got a strong personality.
He's got a smart guy. He's a combat vet, so
he hasn't walked the earth very long. But then again,
you know that might not be the metric here, so
we'll just have to see. I'm okay with it until
as long as he moves forward with some of the
things he's talking about, and that is removing some of

(01:44:44):
the DEI removing some of the things that don't matter
when it comes to war fighting. We've got to get
back to a war fighting stance and that'll actually help
our the terms say.

Bens a.

Speaker 35 (01:46:16):
Joe Deep states no deep doo doo e. The Chad
Benson shows one.

Speaker 2 (01:46:31):
Of the only minds where there's reason left in DC,
and now he's leaving DC ladies and gentlemen, the one
and only Joe Mansion.

Speaker 48 (01:46:38):
As a father, I don't know if a father that
wouldn't have done the same thing. What I would have
done differently, in my recommendation as a counsel, would have been,
why don't you go ahead and pardon Donald Trump for
all his charges and make it you know it had
been it had gone down a lot more balanced.

Speaker 4 (01:46:51):
If you will. I'm just saying, wipe them out.

Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
Or even just does for his legacy.

Speaker 48 (01:46:55):
I don't know from that standpoint, does it makes it difficult?

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
I think he might pardon him. And I've already talked.
I mean, you guys have heard me talk about it.
I know Kathy Holkel and them have had conversations about,
you know, what to do to make this stuff go
away in New York. So there, look nightmare, absolutely, But
I remind everybody this is as much a big fu

(01:47:19):
from Biden to the establishment as it is anything else.
Oh yeah, very interesting. Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, come to
that time of the show when you give you the
words of wisdom. No, it's time for the Gary Pucy
moment of the day.

Speaker 7 (01:47:39):
The abusiism for today is the word mind m I
n D, and m i n D stands for making
it new daily, cause your mind is always working faster
than your brain. When your mind picks up something first
that your brain picks it up, your brain makes you
feel like you've seen this before, You've been there before.

(01:48:01):
It's called the deja vu. And the mind is working
all the time, and it's your freedom, your guide, your purpose,
and your good feelings of giving to others as they
would give to you in a good way. Here's your
mind properly with love, understanding and the purpose of giving.

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
Okay, and then he crashes into the microphone. He almost
got all the way through like we were like, well
that sounded like what good stuff there? And then Gary's
like raw. So many people go, why do you pick
on Gary Busey? I don't. I'd love him. I'd love
Gary Busey. He's crazy, fun, crazy being the big Sie

(01:48:40):
and then fun being little Yeah, that's not very nice.

Speaker 3 (01:48:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):

very interesting character. And if you ever have a chance
