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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
The best way to describe what's going on with all
of this stuff surrounding Epstein is disappointing and disgusting. Little
double D there, disappointing and disgusting. We have deviant, evil
people who committed heinous crimes against young girls. And I

(00:37):
was trying to think, especially over the last several days,
can I even for a moment think of another time
where something would be this big and get very little play.
I can't. I mean I sit here and I go
I'm just trying to think. You know what, in the UK,
it's totally different. I mean, this has become an absolute

(00:58):
firestorm dominating their headlines, and this is probably going to
cost Keir Starmer's gig. The Prime Minister here, dirty, scummy,
horrific evil sobs seemed to have gotten away with something

(01:20):
and we, and by we, I mean our government and
this Department of Justice and probably several other ones before
this one was absolutely fine with it. I guess it
was just business as usual. Thomas Massey.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I mean what we're after is the the men who
Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women too. We want those names published.
We're not out to embarrass people. And the problem is
we went in there hoping to see that in three
h two forms. What we found out is those three

(01:56):
or two forms were redacted before they got to the DOJ. So,
but our legislation directs the FBI, who which is the
agency that produces those three two forms, to also produce
these documents. The Attorney General is ultimately responsible for that production.
So that's why we're here at the DOJ to view
these files. But there needs to be more information given

(02:19):
in those three twos.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
So Thomas Massey. So yesterday they said, all right, here's
the deal. We're going to release. Remember this is a law,
this has been passed. They're violating a law. December eighteenth,
they were supposed to release everything. They released virtually nothing,
then dribs and drabs, and then what they had, a
big three million you know, document pages of document dump

(02:46):
and people start sifting through it and salacious and nasty girls.
Your pictures are in there, nudes, Your pictures are in there.
Your names in many cases are in there. The people
that are allegedly the perpetrators, your name starting in there,
they're redacted. You're protected. Don't worry, don't worry. And then
you've got Gallaine Maxwell who pled the fifth and she

(03:08):
basically came out and said, hey, if Trump, you know,
grants me Clemency, I can clear his name. I mean,
she's she's playing the long game. It's totally understandable. She's
gonna she's got twenty years in prison, right, so you're
looking at July seventeenth, two thousand and thirty seven is
her release date. So she's got some some more time,

(03:34):
if you will, eleven plus years. So yeah, she's playing
the long game. But some of the stuff that's coming
out is as disgusting as you think it is. And
I am no, I've got zero faith. I have zero
faith in this Department of Justice. I have zero faith
in this administration when it comes to this. I have

(03:54):
zero faith in any of the people in surrounding this
Epstein nightmare that they're going to actually do anything at all.
I have zero faith in that because they have shown
that they're not as transparent as they promised. Everybody with
a B and this isn't going to go anywhere. I

(04:14):
told you guys that continue to pay attention, what have
I said? Two plus years it took for Watergate two
plus years. It took for Watergate. Why are we covering
up stuff? Why are we protecting the likes of powerful
men who not just here but globally did horrific things?

(04:36):
Why tell me? Why tell me? And you know what,
yesterday when I talked a little bit about this, I got,
you know what, I got this and this pissed me
off more than anything. Where are their parents? I'm like,
what are you talking about? Where are their parents? Many
of them were runaways, right, Foster care had a lot

(04:59):
of issues, right, They were fringe, if you will, in society, fringe.
Nobody cared if they disappeared, Nobody cared if they were
gone for days on end, or if they just discipeted.
They didn't care. And who cares where their parents are?

(05:20):
So it's their fault. Just infuriating. Stop trying to protect
this administration over this. I'll say it over and over again.
If they were involved, and I've always maintained I don't
think Trump was involved in any of the salaciousness or whatnot.

(05:43):
I mean, I again, we're finding out more and more,
but I don't. I don't think Clinton got with underage girls.
I don't think any of those things. But there's new
questions questions like, Okay, wait a minute, you found out
he did horrible things and that he was cut a
sweetheart deal. Four solicitation of prostitution involving a minor. It

(06:10):
was a felony. Okay, So this is procuring a person
under the age of eighteen for prostitution and that was it.
By the way, there were dozens of victims, and for
the most part, they cut the deal in a way
it went. So he got an eighteen month sentence total

(06:31):
served thirteen months, allowed six days a week work release,
leaving the jail for up to twelve hours a day. So, yeah,
he was already a scumbag. And if you knew he
was a scumbag and you still hung out with him,
Howard Lutnick, you need to go. Sorry you do, and

(06:57):
I know Trump and everybody else to defend you. It
was a business now, oh sorry, sorry. How many of
you out there, I'll say it every single day. How
many you out there have sex offender friends that you're
hanging out with and doing business deals with. Probably not
a lot of you. Some of you live in Florida,
but still, I mean, Chad, isn't there a city or

(07:18):
like an area in Florida where it's just sex offenders,
if I'm correct, it's so bizarre, just insane. No more
on this throughout the day three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three act she had Benson Show,
is your Acts, your Insta YouTube and more, and we'll
have more of the UK. Right, the fallout in the
UK is way bigger than here. The fallout in the

(07:39):
UK is massive comparatively to what's going on here. What's
going on here seems to be well, not a lot,
not a lot going on. Mostly it's old news. It's
this news, is that news? That kind of stuff. You're
just sitting there going okay. If this was an any

(08:00):
other time with any other president, this would be everywhere.
Think about Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Right, she was an
adult by age. She was still a child in theory.
But you know, but because she was so young, right,
Like he's the most powerful man in the world, I mean,
the aphrodisiac of being that guy and hey, baby, but

(08:23):
think about that and the chaos that brought our nation,
all of that stuff, this good God, and then people
having to defend scumbags because they're worried it might get
on Trump sorry, No, that's disgusting. You know it, and

(08:44):
I know it. So get with the damn program. Let's
figure out who these sobs are. I was talking to
somebody yesterday about, you know, Dan Bongino, because his show
is back what a douche can do? He just it
is the when you go look at the go look
at the comments, like he thinks he's all yeah, the

(09:07):
comp They just destroy him for the most part, outside
of boomers who were like, we're with you Dan, Yeah, America,
wo yeah, he's great. And I was laughing, going, here's
the funny thing. What if they go and they actually
do have to arrest some people. Do you think they're

(09:28):
gonna feel bad that they weren't included that in cash Betel,
I feel like, and this is just me, is what's
more embarrassing that you lied about this or that they
didn't share all of the information with you because they
couldn't trust you idiots? Oh, I mean the fallout of

(09:48):
the uh speaking of wacky politics, and we'll get to
a little bit more next hour, but the fallout of
the Kid Rock Bad Bunny battle, it wasn't it's it's
not a fallout. It wasn't. It was Bad Bunny won.
You know, I saw yesterday people from TPUSA going we

(10:10):
had twenty million people that streamed. I'm like, yeah, and
he broke a record, Bad Bunny for the biggest halftime show.
And you can probably thank Trump a lot for that too.
The second thing is, and this is important, as they
talk about streams, Apple streamed it, Apple Music double almost

(10:31):
triple what TPUSA got, So add that on to the stream.
And here's the funny thing I want you guys to understand.
Was we talk about expanding, right, expanding the the the audience. Right,

(10:53):
bigger tent for Goodell and everybody. And we're gonna get
into it a little bit more next hour. Huge game
and right, it's our it's our, it's our thing. It's massive.
They estimated to be worldwide one hundred and eighty to
two hundred million people watch it. Whoa earlier that day

(11:14):
before the super Bowl kicked off, Man City, I usually
say a bad word there took on Liverpool the Pool
Premier League game estimated worldwide viewing seven hundred and forty
five million, more than three times the Super Bowl. If

(11:37):
you want to know why he's trying to expand the base,
it's because on your biggest day. The world's biggest day
was three times the size three two, three, five eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch had been to show
is your extra insta of a lot more of that.
We've got the Olympics coming up. We're gonna talk a
bit about that. Are Buddy Mike Lioness military analyts going

Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
We're off to Italy, Milan Courteena. The Winter Games are
in full effect. I watched a lot of it last night.
Charlie and I were watching it. And our first thought
because we watched the Louge or the whatever where you're
just the wall on your back or not skeleton, it's
the Louge. So you're watching the Louge, and how awesome

(13:52):
is it? No matter what it is now that they
have those the drones everywhere. If you've not watched the
drones off you can hear them. It's just so crazy.
And we watched a lot of the Downhill last night,
which was fun. So big day all right in the Olympics.
Big day today including hockey. So today the United States

(14:17):
women take on Canada. Now normally this is the gold
medal game, which my assumption is it will be again.
But we're three and oh, Canada is two and zero
and we meet today. Good luck trying to get a ticket.
This is a rivalry that's big time, and so again
this is probably the gold medal game. But they're meeting

(14:41):
early in the round robin side of stuff. Both of
them are going to get through. There's nobody can compete
with either Canada or US. And even the Italian team
was watching some of the Italians players like, it's just
a bunch of Canadian and American women who didn't make
their teams, whose grandma and grandpa are from Italy. So
good for you, guys, good for you. Speaking of Italy,
I did a deep dive and I thought this. I'm like,

(15:04):
how much of an advantage is it to be the
home team. So they looked across all of the Olympics,
and it boosts your medal count by twenty to thirty
percent from the previous games. And in many cases this

(15:27):
will be the best medal count you will get. So example,
great Britain, right they play. They were in Beijing they
got forty seven medals. In London they got sixty five
three two three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. That's your ex your instant
and all the other things. Love hearing from each and
every one of you right here on The Chad Benson Show.

(15:51):
And China right two thousand and four sixty three, two
thousand and eight when they hosted, they got one hundred medals.
Japan added seventeen medals in twenty sixteen to twenty twenty.
So it's a real thing. It is one of the
neat things that is happening in this Olympics is schemo.

(16:13):
So if you don't know what schemo is, it's it's insane.
I heard one person describe it as if the gods
of the alpines wanted to punish you, this is what
they'd make you do. So you have your skis on
and you go up the mountain without the lift, right,
and they have these special skims they call them on there,
and you run up the mountain and then you rip

(16:36):
the skims off when you get to the top of
the mountain, and then you go down the mountain. And
we have a team that is going to compete. It's
male female and the interesting thing her name is Anna Gibson.
She is going to compete. She had never competed before.
This guy saw at this like you know, ultra marathon

(17:00):
thing and said, I would love to have you, and
she's like, I don't know. So she goes out, she
trains for a little bit, then she tries it a
few weeks ago and hopes that all they had to
do was qualify. Right, they're the only team, but they
did need to come twelfth or better to qualify. They
won the whole damn thing, and a lot of it's
because of her. So it's an interesting thing, schemo. And

(17:21):
it's also looks like hard a F three two three,
five three, twenty four, twenty three ap Chad Benson Show,
Direct Your Insta, all the other stuff. Mike Clients, Military Nils.
He joins the program straight ahead, This is the Chad Menson.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Show, Fun, Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
And is that part of the program as we have
every single week bringing on our man, the myth, the legend,
the best day of military analyst in the business, chide
major Mike Clients. All right, Mike, let's start first and foremost,
we're gonna get to iron and a couple other things,
But I want, you know, the quietness of what is
happening in Ukraine is it just feels weird right now,

(18:26):
like something's not going on, Like it's almost that quiet
before the storm, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
I think there's a lot to that.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
It's it's winter time and it affects both sides on
the ground tactically. I think that's the situation whereas we
thought that Russia would take advantage of this attack strategic
targets inside of Ukraine try to try to shut the
lights out, so to speak, but they just can't do
that at this point. There's still peace talks taking place
in im Dobby and that's that's going on. But I

(18:57):
think from what I've talked to folks on the ground there,
they're just holding off and they recognize they've got to
get through the next few months and kind of dig in.
And the Russian soldier does not have a result to
fight right now, and I think that's the major issue
in their side of if they ever expect to break through,
their military is going to have to get more motivated,

(19:18):
and they're just not there. They've completely almost peaked out
at this point. So I don't see Russia moving forward tactically,
and that's why the stalemate exists.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Mike, how much has this war remade their population? You know,
we talk about the eighties, seventies and eighties with Iran
and Iraq and how a vast majority of their young
men were completely wiped out. That's why right now their
generation is so young. How much has this done the
same thing for me the brain train where everybody fled,
or the death of young men being thrown.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
Up there, well, both sides, right, so, but Ukraine did
have some of its population leave the country, So there's
still someone on the sideline right now, and they're in
the United States, and I think that they've been they've
been somewhat sheltered as they've been forced to have the
older generation at least show up on the front lines
and be the ones fighting the conflict. Right now, I

(20:11):
think Russia is a little different. Russia has already divided
many many generational fault lines and fault lines that exist
within the country culturally, as they don't all speak the
same language, eleven time zones, all the things that go
with it. So in that case, it's more or less
almost like what the Vietnam War did to the United States.
It's going to break it up in certain parts, in

(20:31):
certain areas will be more affective than that. But the
center of gravity in Moscow and what's happening there, I
think that'll remain the center of power of Russia, and
it remains to be seen what will happen there.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
But in the outskirts you might.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
See a change that will take place in more uprisings
because of the men that have been forced to come
from those areas to fight this war.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Talkin to Micael Lines or military analysts. All right, let's
switch over. I read some of the other day that
we have so much hardware throughout the Middle East right
now that it is more than we had during Desert Storm.
We've got that flotilla that's there. I mean, you know,
I mean the artillery, the arm We could bring armageddon
if we want to, which says to me, you know,
I'm not quite sure how serious we are about these negotiations.

(21:18):
I feel like they're more of a stall tactic to
get in place something.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
I just don't believe the Ranians are going to negotiate.
They're not giving up their nukes, they're not giving up
their missiles. They just you know, not proven that there's
anything any kind of pressure that will will come to bear.
Obama tried, you know, appeasement basically, and so did Biden.
That didn't work. I give them somewhat of a pass,

(21:42):
I guess because they thought that this is going to
be solved. But you know, Trump, what's the target? You
know Trump has assembled that's right in our model. We've
got fluent seven teams at the largest number of sea
seventeens I'm told are in the area as well. Those
are the logistics and supply trains. I don't see the
Uranians caving though, So what's the target it'll and when's

(22:03):
it going to happen. I think in some ways the
Olympics is going to put a pause on things, kind
of like what happened back in Russia when before they
invaded Crimea, back when I.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
Was twenty fourteen. I think that's the same thing taking
place right now. So the fist is winding up.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
But I can tell you this, the United States doesn't
put that much military equipment in a place and doesn't
use it.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
So at some point I do think you're going to
stay a conflict there.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
You know, you talk about that, and you and I
go over this every week. It was like, what is
the target? What are we going to do? Because we're
not taking out all of the Mullahs and the Ayatolas
and all. That's not going to happen if we did,
all we're probably going to do is leave the Republican
Guard to control everything. And then you know, the fear
is it's going to turn into a Libya or Syria

(22:45):
where it's going to devolve into the army taking on
them and it's a civil war, which is something we
don't want. I just I don't like you said, they're
not going to negotiate. They have no reason to negotiate, right.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
The thing is the the Runian army, the regular army,
is kind of the indispensable force right now. I think
they are large in number, the fathers and sons and
of the regular people. As there's a divide that exists
within that country. You know, it's somewhat of a communist
kind of divide the haves and the have nots, and
exists there they could control. They have weapons, but Revolutionary Guard,

(23:22):
Republican Guards, all of the other regime operations, their secret forces.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
They still are the invisible hand right now.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
So it's the only other thing I can say is
that arounds a smart country, they have infrastructure, they've got
more capability than of citizens that we're in Libya and
in Theory, and that's other places. So there's still a
possibility that an uprising happens. It's just it's rare in
history that you see that taking place.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Talking to michaelions or military analysts and Mike, let's just say,
for the sake of argument, we try to decapitate and
we hit or whatever, but then they're going to come
back at us, and probably Israel. I mean, let's be real,
Bebi's here again, he might as well buy a house
here at the rate he's going. So let's just say
that does happen. What is there if they want to

(24:13):
get serious, what can they do and where would they
focus on?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Chad? I think they have one shot.

Speaker 6 (24:18):
Okay, they probably can launch one massive strike against Israel
US forces. US forces when that region will be on
high alert and bunkers and will protect the force. But
we can they won't be able to probably hit our
naval assets that are there, as they are really good
at defending themselves and those systems that are on those
and those ships that are out and will be out

(24:41):
in the Strait of our Moots and then the Mediterranean.
But they'll have one shot, and I think what will
happen is then you'll see a little bit of a
calm for a couple of days, and then the response
back will be overwhelming and they won't be able to
respond to that.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
So I don't think.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
I think Israel took a lot of their capability out
about six or eight months ago when when they had
those and I do think that, but they did.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
They have one punch all off.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
The question is whether or not it's going to floor
Israel or set them back enough where they won't be
able to respond back.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
I just don't think that's the case.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Would if you with them, would it be more advantageous
to go after Israel because you're not going to go off.
Don't go after our our you know, the Armada flowing
out there, because that's going to need more quicker problemly,
so would you just ignore in some ways and just
go if this is the way we're going to play,
We're going to go after Israel rather than go after
America itself, you know, or go after you know, the

(25:31):
the half assed like they did last time. We called
twenty four hours ahead, but then really go after Israel.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
Yeah, if I don't want to give a round military advice.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
But if I was Israel preparing for an attack, I
would be preparing for twenty five hundred ballistic and missiles
and all kinds of missiles coming my way. And I
think that would be the umbrella I would be looking
to put up. I would be asking the United States
for air defense support both from the sea and.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Then on land.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
I think that's that's what they should be planning for.
Because to your point, if they shoot at a US
ship or a US asset there, then Katie bar the door,
that's over and here we go, you know that, and
then gives us every right to go fire back.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
But they could.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Still overwhelm Israel's air defense systems and hit targets Untel
of Ev and hit military targets up and down the
coast there that that would be significant for Israel. So
if I'm Israel, I'm preparing for a blizzard of rockets
and missiles coming my way from your.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
ANIMs talking to Mike Lines are military analysts. You know
what the whole thing with Israel? You know I was
talking about what's their end game? All right, we know
they're in game. Is they want somebody that will basically
be a bit of you know, the West puppet in there.
But I don't think that country's youth, even if they've
got the opportunity to get the IA tools out, want

(26:49):
any part of that. How do they go about, you know,
trying to say, look, we want to be friends. We don't,
you know, we don't want to be frenemies and we
don't want to be enemies anymore. Because yeah, if I'm
if I'm you know, a twenty five year old architect
in Tehran, I want these guys gone. But I'm not
necessarily sure I want to be Israel's best pal either.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
I think that alignment then will come with Turkey, with
other countries. I think in Israel is the de facto
hegemonic power now because of the United States and the
Western influence it brings, and so they are calling the shots.
You have other Middle Eastern countries looking to become part
of the abram Accords, and so if the Iranians are
smart that they would they wanted that position before they

(27:34):
could live.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
They could coexist with Israel.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
I think that's maybe what we're driving at for them.
But I do think other countries become indispensable. Turkey, for example,
has always been very well aligned with Iran. You formerly
part of the Ottoman Empire. You know, they have the
same DNA, they're Persians, and Turkey could lift them into
this area where they're at least on par with Israel

(27:59):
in the region overall globally. You know, Israel has its
detractors that we know of that always are out there
in the United States, you know, is obviously the biggest
backer there. But I do believe the Iranians are a
smart population, and well, we'll figure out a way to
coexist and accept the fact that the United States backs
Israel as a hegemonic military power until the Uranians, you know,

(28:23):
kind of get their society back together again.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Talking to my clients are military analysts, let's go over
to Asia. Obviously, China is the you know, they're still
doing their thing. They're still pushing the envelope, but not
maybe as much as before. I feel like they're I
feel like g sitting around going all right, I might
want to do something, but I'm trying to pick my
you know, the Venezuela thing didn't you know, didn't devolve

(28:45):
in anything crazy just yet, even though we just traded
one bad person for another bad person. But I'm still
looking over there at Taiwan. I'm still looking there a
lot of different places and thinking to himself, I don't
feel like he wants to let this go forever where
he doesn't get the credit for all of the stuff.
And I feel also like he's you know, he's kind

(29:07):
of went out and he took out all of his
best friends who were in the military.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
I think that's the major point. And he's then.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
Putting in place different military planners, and unfortunately, it appears
that they are telling him what he wants to hear,
as opposed to the people who he had in place
there who dealt with reality that basically said, you don't
want to get into a fight with the United States.
And as much as they don't appear to have the
same military assets in the region, it's similar to the

(29:36):
mistake the Japanese made in the Second World War.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
You're going to just awaken a sleeping.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
Tiger, and that will be the case, because you know,
China doesn't have innovation.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
China will go into this war with a.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Mass advantage, and that's what they'll try to do. They'll
throw everything at it initially and believe that's what's going
to take to win. But the United States will have
endurance and we'll have innovation. We'll have things on a
shelf that'll come in and appear in the battle field.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
I do think that. But we have to be more.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
Concerned about this Beijing relationship with Russia because they could
still you know, they're the ones that are still supporting
the Russians on that side. So China is a complex
problem set for the US right now, clearly our number
one adversary out there. So that's why I don't think
this conflict is just limited right there to Taiwan. It
spans into Asia, it spans into Europe as they continue

(30:26):
to support Russia, and we have to just see where
it's going to go.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Good feeling if tomorrow we woke up and you found out,
oh my god, China launched an attack against Taiwan and
it's ugly. What do you think Trump does in our military?

Speaker 6 (30:41):
Well, in order to defend Taiwan, US forces would have
to attack into China, as Chinese military assets would be
attacking into Taiwan, coming land based. I think that's a question.
He'd have to come to grips with that. I frankly
don't think he would do I think he would. I
think he would, you know, try to get military assets

(31:03):
there and carry your groups and try to defend it
from a from more of a tactical perspective, but you'd
have to take out the strategic weapons that are attacking
Taiwan from again from a military perspective. So I don't
think he would do it because I think he recognizes
that it would risk you know, losing a West coast
city or something, it loses a you know, started this
conflict with China just doesn't make a lot of sense.

(31:24):
And so that's why in some ways the Chinese are
still deterred.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
They're still deterred by it. They would pay a price globally.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
But frankly, I still don't think any president would pull
the trigger and attack assets inside of mainland China.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
That that would be that would be a bridge too far.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
He is the best to in military als in business.

(32:10):
listening for a while. I thought I was gonna try
it eventually. So he went and try it. He'd gotten
to the point where the pain and his you know,
just just from every day living as you get older,
had really started to change. It affected his work, it
affected his family time. So we tried it within three weeks, right,
he got the three week quick start. He said things
had changed. Ninety percent of his pain has subsided. That's

Make sure you tell them. Chad Sinya coming up the
Monks on the march Chad Benson.

Speaker 7 (33:08):
Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
They are marching, these monks and today is a very
very big day. Let's check in really quick. Now, right,
there is actually the monks marching. It is live streaming
and there are thousands upon thousands of people watching it.
You know what time it is?

Speaker 8 (33:48):
As quickly as you can snack the pebble from my hand,
When you can take the pebble from my hand, it
would be time for you to be.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Now it's time for your daily monk marching up date.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
Time for you to leave, all right.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
So today's a big day into d C. They head.
So they're crossing from Virginia into d C. They're walking
by the studios. Now I'm out here in Nashville, but
the studios that we broadcast, so it comes from here,
over to there and then up to the satellite and
I just told Phil, you're better get out there see
those monks. I'm gonna kick your butt for peace. So

(34:25):
it's pretty awesome what they're doing. People are following them,
and they've walked well. When all said and done, is
gonna be about what twenty eight hundred miles they left
from in October, from Dallas Fort Worth and now they're
headed into DC and there's gonna be some sort of
closing ceremony thing tonight. I know what happens after that,
because they're not finished walking, so they've decided, Hey, we

(34:49):
don't really have another job or anything. So I guess
it's kind of our jam and we're kind of celebrities now,
so we can't stop this. People are paying attention to us, yes,
because we need me too, because you're doing do a
darn good thing. My friends. So I was seeing they
were talking about how many people came out to see them,

(35:10):
you know, along the walk. It's been so many people,
and it's such a great story. I love stories like this.
It's a darn good story. The monks in DC today.
Let's stay quick. Listen, man, so many people out there.
You can barely hear that people out there, so many
cops out there right around their bikes to protecting them.
I love that three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

(35:31):
four to twenty three Act Had Benson Show. It is
your install, your acts and all the other things right
here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up a lot
of stuff to get to. We're gonna have some interesting
stuff about a lawsuit that is underway, a lawsuit that could,
in many people's minds, be as big as the tobacco

(35:56):
lawsuit that took place low those many many years ago.
Savannah Guthrie have a little bit on that. Also, what's
going on with the Save Act. What is that about?
And when could it actually be inactive. We're gonna talk
a bit about that. A bunch of other good stuff
on the way as well. Reach out to us across
all of our social media. Our Number two of the

(36:20):
program is straight ahead. This is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:53):
A lawsuit is going on that is massive and everybody
should pay attention to it, and it has all to
do with social media, the Internet. Something is finally getting there.
Do in court if you will, according to a lot
of parents, and it has to do with social media,

(37:15):
and could this be the really the flooding of what
may be potentially hundreds and thousands of lawsuits when it
comes to social media and their addictiveness.

Speaker 9 (37:29):
Plan affs in this case are essentially alleging that social
media apps are designed to be addictive and that that
harms children, now in some cases even leading to suicide.
Social media companies have always said that the law is
on their side on this issue. Specifically, the Communications Decency
Acts Section two thirty. It protects social media companies from

(37:50):
being libel for what users post. We're talking about things
like bullying, encouraging self harm, or eating disorders, things like that.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Now, when they put that in a long time ago,
the reason they put that in is they didn't want
to hold telecommunications companies and other companies at fault and
hold them to a standard where if somebody gets on
the phone and they're going to decide to call their
buddy and go rob a bank, that the ma bell

(38:19):
should be charged also as an accomplice because their products
facilitated that conversation. It's kind of the best way I
can describe it. So this is how addictive did these
companies make this and what is their responsibility to kids,

(38:41):
to parents, to society.

Speaker 9 (38:43):
But this case is different because it focuses on algorithms
and the way this content is delivered to children. Now,
people are comparing this to the big Tomaco lawsuits in
the nineties, where tobacco companies settled after they were accused
of knowingly designing products that are addictive and homeful. Well,
the plain iss in the Los Angeles case today are

(39:03):
essentially saying social media companies not only know that their
apps are addictive, but that these companies intentionally program their
apps to be addictive, all the while knowing that harpful
content is sometimes delivered to children.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Now, there's only so much they can do. I think
we recognize that. Do they do a great job, It's
hard to tell because I don't know. I'm sure. I
mean you to think about the billions of things that
come through every day on social media. But the algorithms,
the way that they're describing it is you have made
these algorithms similar to that of casinos. So it's not

(39:39):
even what is seen on there. Okay, so let's take
that away. It's not the scene stuff that the kids see.
It's the addictiveness of the algorithms that pushes the addiction,
not the actual content itself.

Speaker 9 (39:57):
I see now a lot of parents are just watching
this trial closely, including Colorado mom Laurie Shott, whose teenage
daughter Anna Lee died by suicide.

Speaker 10 (40:07):
I had no idea what I was parenting against. My
daughter had no idea what algorithmic feeds were. She had
no idea. Just because she was looking up a T
shirt for a suicide you know, awareness campaign five K
run that her algorithms were changed and it would start
sending her content that said, here's a gun in two bullets,
Why don't you take your life? All your pain will

(40:28):
be gone. These are things that were pushed to her
that she could never unsee. That was not something she
looked for.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
No, probably not. And again, the algorithms are the issue here.
So because of the way it's designed is to get
you to swipe, swipe, swipe, pay attention, swipe, swipe, swipe
in a you know, interact with it. Swipe, swipe, swip,
That's what it's it's designed to do. Then the algorithms

(40:59):
come into place and it says, oh, you wanted something
with suicide on it. You know what if I, you know,
like a punk band, I grew up listened to suicidal tendencies, right,
All I wanted was to pepsy and she would give
it to me. If I started getting then suicide stuff
sent to me because of the band's name, well, the

(41:21):
algorithm picked up on something and because of that, it
ran with it is what they're alleging now, I mean
it's it's so your daughter wanted a suicide awareness shirt
and then she got suicide messages sent and because of that,
I mean, that's that's a tough thing. I think that

(41:43):
you're going to have to prove in court.

Speaker 9 (41:45):
So the trial that began today here in Los Angeles
is from another set of parents who basically say social
media types sites targeted their children with content that caused depression, anxiety,
and even self harm. Now this is important, and Snap
they've already settled this case. So YouTube and Facebook are
the ones that decided to fight it in court, and

(42:06):
there is a possibility that Mark Zuckerberg might even take
the stand as a witness. Now, Meta, which is the
parent company in Facebook it said in a statement, we
strongly disagree with these allegations and We're confident the evidence
will show our long standing commitment to supporting young people.
YouTube says providing young people with a safer, healthier experience
has always been core to our work. And Liz, as

(42:29):
you said before, there are literally thousands of cases just
like this currently pending in state and federal courts.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
And they're waiting. They're waiting to find out if it's
a go. They're waiting to find out. You're going to
start seeing these the minute if this thing goes in
a way where the jury says, yes, you guys are
liable because of the algorithms and the way that you've

(42:58):
built them to be so addictive, and then the algorithms
took over and pushed them in such a way. Because
of that, you guys are liable. Watch what happens. You're
gonna see commercials all day on television, right people standing
at home, It's like, were you or somebody you know
injured by algorithms? That's going to happen. And then what

(43:23):
happens is we'll see what the companies do. It's not
over by any stretch. I mean, the other two have
already gone and said, all right, you know what, here,
here's a settlement. We want out of this. But this
is going to drag on for a while, and this
is not going to be the last we hear of it.
It's gonna be many many more of these, and some
will be they're gonna be different. Some will be about

(43:45):
the stuff that got through, the pictures, the videos, whatever
it is. But the algorithm thing is interesting and the
way that they've come at it, because so many people
have tried to do this before, came at it from
a position of the content should never have gotten through,

(44:05):
where they've said, ah, you know what, the content is
gonna get through a billion pieces of stuff that flies
through there. There's only so much you can do. But
the way that you've designed it get you addicted to
the content. And because of that, and you knowingly did this,
there's where you're libel Ooho And parents, I say this

(44:28):
over and over again, watch what your kids are doing.
And I know sometimes, no matter how much that you try,
now how hard it is, you're not going to be
able to save everybody. Trust me, we all know that,
all right. I've had I've had friends who have you know,
no matter how hard everybody tried, their depression was so great.
We had a family friend who had everything, and no

(44:50):
matter how hard they tried, they couldn't fix what was broken.
And this was pre the interwebs like we have it today.
But still we got to participate more three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three, Atch had beds at show, Jarak, Churensta, YouTube,
Facebook and all the other things. Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie, yesterday

(45:12):
it came and went another deadline when it came to
the ransom. I mean, I'm not even sure what exactly
at this point we're looking for. Is it ransom? Is
it was she kidnapped? Do we know she's kidnapped? Are
we going on what? Somebody is maybe trying to persuade

(45:40):
them to spend money on bitcoin and whatnot and they
actually don't have, Nancy Guthrie, I have no idea. The
more that I watch this, the more that I think,
I'm not sure I buy a lot of this stuff.
I think that there's a lot of other stuff going

(46:00):
on in this situation that is very unsettling. And I
continue to say this and will look a little closer
to home. That's all I'm saying. Lookashmi's closer to home.
I could be wrong. I've been wrong before, I will
be wrong again. But if we're playing sleuth as the
rest of the world is at this moment in time,

(46:20):
because the story has kind of grabbed the attention, not
just here by the way, globally, especially with the Olympics
going on, people are paying attention to this, but just
kind of the way that things have gone down, and
you know how somebody seemed to know where the cameras

(46:41):
were and certain things. You just feel like maybe there
was you know, somebody knew something, or somebody said something
to somebody who then took it upon themselves, if that
makes sense.

Speaker 11 (46:53):
I just want to say, first of all, thank you
so much for all of the prayers and the love
that we have felt, my sister and brother and I,
and that our mom has felt, because we believe that somehow,

(47:15):
in some ways, she is feeling these prayers and that
God is lifting her even in this moment and in
the darkest place.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
So yesterday again another deadline came and went, and they
obviously want her back. And you know, I haven't heard
about the proof of life. It's just this story is
it seems so weird. Vanished without a trace, no DNA
outside of hers she was on a heart monitor or
somebody asked me yesterday, do you think she's alive? I

(47:42):
want to say yes. But if she's as sick as
Savannah Guthrie says, especially with her pacemaker, in the fact
she doesn't have any of her medicine, is there a
chance with the fear and everything that she might not
be Yeah? And then what do you have? I mean
right next to the border. So I don't know. I
hope and right, but this story is getting weirder every day.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three

Coming up? What is the Save Act and should we
save it? Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:49):

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Will they or won't they get rid of the filibuster
very interesting, and the SAVE Act is out there right now.
If you don't know what the SAVE Act is, it
is a very exciting thing for the Republicans to make
sure that people who are here illegally do not vote,

(50:12):
because it's been proven over and over again that doesn't happen.
So what is the SAVE Act? Essentially, it's called Safeguard
America Voter Eligibility Act SAVE Act. Make sure that you
show ID. I got no problems with that. When you
go to register, you have to show ID. Now, which
ID is? The is the question? Which ID do you show?

(50:36):
How does that look? What if your name's different? What
are the eighteen things you have to bring with you?
So there's a lot of issues here with the SAVE Act,
but a lot of Republicans would like to see the
filibuster blown out anyways, and this may be something that
they could get behind.

Speaker 12 (50:51):
The SAVE Act is just another prong of this concerted,
multi prong campaign to undermine our elections. I think people
should be worried about it, but I also think that
we have the tools to fight back against it and
make sure that we can have free and fair elections
again in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
And they're going to do everything I think. And you
know what's funny. Everybody talks about that. The Republicans are
worried that the Democrats are going to do some crazy
to have and they've got millions of people who have
voted here illegally that has never even been close to
be improved. Both the right and the left have had
their people look into this, and it is minuscule, minuscule,

(51:31):
teny minuscule amount of people that have ever voted illegally.
And I'm talking about I legally. I'm talking about illegal aliens,
people that should not be voting. Not somebody where you
went and it's your grandma. She doesn't know where she's at.
She's in a nursing home, and you go and you

(51:53):
fill out her paperwork. No, no, no, we're talking about
illegal aliens. That's what they're talking about, undocumented folk. So
what would you need for the same act US passport,
naturalization or citizen certificates? Government issued a photo ID showing
birthplace military ID with proof of US birth tribal ID

(52:13):
in specific categories, but that may not be all that
you need. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more? Love hearing from all of you ready on
the Chad Benson Show. And the question is what if
you get married? Oh yeah, so my wife's birth certificate

(52:35):
says something different than her license and she's taken my
last name, which by the way, is different than what's
on her Oh so she couldn't well not according to this,
which would be a bit of an issue. I think,
tell me what you think for me. You know, you

(52:56):
heard Bannon last week come out and say we need
to put you know, Ice at the all of the
polling stations. You're like, no, what are you doing this?
This want that there are so many people here that
are voting illegally is just ridiculous. You guys know, I

(53:17):
don't play games. I want to know the truth, right,
I want to know the truth. And the truth is
according to just about every single study out there, between
zero zero zero one percent and zero zero zero two
percent of votes cast were cast illegally. Oh, vanishingly rare.

(53:39):
According to the Department of Justice audit. How about this,
three point six million voters reviewed in Arizona, seventy seven
potential non citizen registrations, but far fewer confirmed votes. Georgia
eight million voters were audited, zero verified cases. Texas sixteen
million voters, very small, double digit cases. Many were later

(54:02):
overturned because they proved that they were legal. Now, so
this will be something to watch, and watch the filibuster
as well. Will they break the filibuster? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chet Benson Show,
at your ex You're instead this is the Chat Benson.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
The fallout of the super Bowl halftime show continues because
we're insane. But I want you guys to listen to this.
This is very interesting. It has nothing to do with
the halftime show. It is all to do with the
insanity of California and taxes and what it cost the

(55:05):
Super Bowl winning quarterback to play in the Super Bowl.
Wait what and win? Play in the super Bowl and win?
It cost it cost him money? No? Oh yeah it
did it costs No, yes, yes it did. People. I
don't think you understand. California's dream is to take all
of your money all the time, and that includes jocks

(55:30):
for winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 13 (55:32):
The winning team each player gets one hundred and seventy
eight thousand dollars. In other words, the Super Bowl isn't
a part of their salary. And because the game was
played in California, in California has a jock tax and
they look at.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Duty days, dude.

Speaker 13 (55:47):
So each team spends seven days in the state of California,
so those are seven duty days, and they pierce your
regular salary at three point five percent. Has to pay
when you take an account, he got the one hundred
and seventy eight thousand plus his overall salary, he has

(56:08):
to pay the state of California for spending seven days
there two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
What that's just so stupid. What So we kind of
broke the numbers down for you here because if you
didn't know, they started doing this several years ago, where hey,
you're in our state, you're making money while you're here.
So we're going to take money for every day. And
this goes to baseball. Basketball doesn't matter what sport it is.

(56:36):
That's why somebody them would like to play in Florida
and Texas and Tennessee and Washington State. So the way
they break it down is you were going to pay
a portion of your income for. So if you're there
for a week, right, it's a pro rated So whatever

(56:57):
your weekly salary is, you're going to pay that salary.
You know, whatever the tax would be there Now some
state through a little bit differently, California about what fourteen
to fourteen point six percent, and I think he actually

(57:17):
lives in California, so that would make it even more expensive.
That's why when they broke down his entire thing, he
gets one hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars as the
winning quarterback. But when you add up his jock tax,
his state tax, all of the other stuff. And by

(57:38):
the way, the jock tax itself for even the one
hundred and seventy eight grand is going to cost most
of the players any between eighty and ninety thousand dollars
in taxes. But when you add everything up, he's going
to owe two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars in
California taxes on his one hundred and seventy eight thousand
dollars bonus CALIFORNI your loving And then they'll go and

(58:04):
waste it. How will they waste it? Simple? They'll go
and try to try to house the unhoused, if you will,
And how will that work. It won't, That's how it'll work,
because it never has because they're too busy trying to
to fix a system that ignores the real issue of

(58:25):
mental illness and drug addiction. And I would say this
if I'm the Players Association, right, So, if I'm part
of the NFL Players Association, I go to the NFL
and I said, all right, here's the deal. No more
games in California, No more Super Bowls in California. And
that's what I'm talking about, super Bowls. No more Super

(58:46):
Bowls in California, no more. There's no nobody should come in,
win the game, be all excited and then have to
pay money to win the game shouldn't happen, and pay
money to lose the game, which definitely shouldn't happen. So
no more of that. Now. They could probably work out
a deal where you get a straight you know, X percent,

(59:08):
but it shouldn't. It shouldn't cost you two hundred and
forty nine thousand, one hundred and seventy eight thousand and
one at all. That's insane. That is absolutely insane. Speaking
of insane, yes, the fallout does continue. This is Patrick Beck,
David and them talking about the you know, it should
be for America, it should be all of these things.

(59:30):
And I'm a micro macro and I was really surprised
about Patrick bet David here. But there's so gung ho
up Trump's But I guess I shouldn't be surprised about this.

Speaker 14 (59:39):
So do you not think NBA players are like, man,
why are we gonna make two undred million?

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Ye?

Speaker 14 (59:42):
D da da da da?

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Well, guess what we got to make?

Speaker 14 (59:44):
The sport International? Do I think Roger Gordell's gonna sit
there and think about losing the seven percent while he's
trying to gain India, China, Europe, Brazil, South Central America.
I don't know how they're thinking in their marketing meetings.
I don't know if there's so who cares about the
concern it's seven percent. Let's go get China, let's go
get this. That's the part that I don't know what

(01:00:04):
their marketing team is thinking about.

Speaker 15 (01:00:05):
You're absolutely right, by the way, and I'll give you data.
How many games were played not in the country this year, Mexico, London, Berlin.
They've been doing this for a while expanding their audience.
So it's not a secret that the NFL is trying
to globalize their leader, because you're absolutely right to use
some data. If they lose seven percent, but they getting
twenty five percent, you know, that's a net win for
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Yes, it is. It's a net win for the NFL.
And by the way, they're not losing seven percent. I'm
gonna call bs on all of these people. I'm not
gonna watch because they turned their backs. So the guy
took a knee nine years ago, I'm not gonna watch
it because they have woke. You are watching, so stop it.

(01:00:47):
Stop it. It broke a record again, you're watching, So
enough enough. He's trying to expand get it. An estimated
two hundred million watched the Super Bowl, so new between
sixty to eighty million outside of the United States of

(01:01:08):
America watched it, which you're like, well, that's pretty good,
that's huge. What can you guys do? I said it
earlier and I'll say it again. The World Cup is
coming here. Do you understand how big the World Cup
is for those of you who don't really follow sports
that much, And you're like, yeah, so it's like the Olympics.
You could put the Olympics both summer and winter, and

(01:01:28):
the Super Bowl and the World Series in the NBA,
in the NHL, and you put them all together, and
the World Cup dwarfs it. Case in point. A few
hours before the Super Bowl kicked off, Manchester City, one
of the biggest, top five clubs in the world, took
on Liverpool, one of the top five clubs in the world,

(01:01:51):
in a regular Premier League game. It's a rivalry game,
but it's a regular game. So Liverpool won the Premier
League last year. Okay, man City has been dominant the
last fifteen years, thank you Saudi money. And they battled
it out. Seven hundred and fifty million people globally watched it,

(01:02:16):
more than three times what watched the Super Bowl. That's
what Goodell is looking at. He's like, oh my god,
that's there's a lot of stuff going on out there.
There's some money. Yo, we could use that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
I don't know if you said yo. So. And by
the way, the game itself was great and stuff. They
normally don't get seven hundred and fifty million for a
worldwide you know, game like this, They'll get three four
hundred million, but seven hundred and fifty million is huge,

(01:02:54):
but that's going to be an average World Cup game
with the fire closer to two billion people watching it.
Just to give you a sense of how big soccer is,
the world's game and why Goodell wants to take a
bite out of it. Just to give you that sense.

(01:03:16):
Eleven games next year being played all over for the NFL,
including I think it's the Rams and the forty nine
ers down Under, which will be awesome. So that's why,
that's why should we have some fun with Megan Kelly

(01:03:38):
freaking out. Let's have a little bit of fun. She
was on with Piers Morgan talking about the halftime show.

Speaker 16 (01:03:43):
I'm sorry, peers, but to get up there and perform
the whole show in Spanish is a middle finger to
the rest of America. Who gives a damn that we
have forty million Spanish speakers in the United States. We
have three hundred and ten ten million who don't speak
a lick of Spanish. This is supposed to be a

(01:04:04):
unifying event for the country, not for the Latinos, not
for one small group, but for the country. We don't
need a black national anthem, we don't need a Spanish
speaking non English performing performer, and we don't need an
Ice or America hater featured as our primetime entertainment. We
have to keep the super Bowl, which is a quintessential

(01:04:26):
American event. Football, that kind of football is ours. They
call it American football, and the halftime show and everything
around it needs to stay quintessentially American, not Spanish, not Muslim,
not anything other than good old fashioned American apple pie.
There should be a meat loaf, maybe some fried chicken,
and an English speaking performer. That's what the super Bowl

(01:04:49):
should be.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Wow, how about those apples. It's insane. Again, it's a business.
It's a business, that's what it is. Adapt or die.
They're trying to grow. I continue to say this, he
wasn't for you. He was for a younger generation that

(01:05:12):
they're trying to bring in to cultivate as an audience.
That's what he was for. Okay, that's what he was for.
He was brought there because he's the biggest star in
the world right now when it comes to music, it's
not even close. The only person who comes anywhere in

(01:05:33):
the stratosphere right now, and that's because she doesn't have
a new album out. She's not touring is Taylor Swift,
but they go back and forth. He gets ninety three
million streams a day on Spotify alone, That is insane.
We estimated yesterday he does about thirty plus million dollars
a year just off Spotify. That's not a bad gig

(01:05:55):
if you can get it. And that's just from what
he has. And if you go look now all of
the number one songs and Apple Music, Spotify, Google, all
that kind of stuff, it's all him, all him. Why
younger generation all over the globe? What can we do
to bring you in? Oh? Well, that's interesting, interesting indeed
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three

(01:06:17):
act you had Benson show at your X, at your
ex kids, your Insta, your Facebook, your YouTube, all of
the other things I came across the story. It's hilarious
but also sad. And I've been talking about it for
a while. When you were sixteen, what's the one thing
you want to do? Give my license? Exactly? Get my license?

(01:06:40):
Get my license. According to a new study, gen Z
is slamming the brakes on getting driver's licenses, which is insane,
and at least that's from my point of view, Like
I couldn't wait. I got my license, and I came

(01:07:02):
home and then I left, and I don't think I've
ever been back bye. So why though anxiety is a
big deal, kids are anxious, not a shock. When we
did that story yesterday where they let that kid he
ro a little scooter down the street, CPS is at
their door, no wonder their suday. I'm anxious. The other thing,
and this is something to take into account that maybe

(01:07:25):
we're not quite as the gen xers, some of the
Baby boomers, even the older millennials quite understanding is rideshare alternatives.
Kids can now, you know, go okay, I'm going over
to Sally's house, I'm going to go over to Jimmy's
house whatever. I do. Know what their names are, you
know Tad and you know whatever weird name, and they

(01:07:48):
can just uber themselves over something. Right. They're not taking
the bus or transportation, unless they're in a big city
like New York, where it's not a big deal. They're
just doing ride share. It's just easier. Cost concern is
a big deal as well, insurance, car ownership, fuel maintenance,
all that stuff, discouraging a lot of kids from getting

(01:08:09):
a license, and the other side is too much socializing
happens where on the computer, on your phone, so there's
no need to have that interaction face to face anymore.
But it's costing parents who have now become de facto
chauffeurs because they're having to do all of the stuff

(01:08:30):
and do it whenever their kids ask them to because
they don't want to get their license. When did you
get yours? Let me know three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your
ex your Insta, your YouTube and everything else. Love hearing

Speaker 17 (01:09:48):
Chad Benson show Running with the Scissors sounds great compared
to this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Same it's in that portion of the program. You know
we're just talking, you know, listening to old Meg and Kelly.
They're going, you need speak English if you're gonna sing
of the super Bowl. Okay, but there are kids here
that do not speak the kind of English that we speak.
We speak the proper English, right, the Queen's English or
the King's English. And these youngsters have decided that they're

(01:10:24):
going to take that English. They're gonna mess it all
up and scorch it and crush it down and come
up with their own stuff. So we decided, you know what,
we better learn it right, we better become multi lingual.
You know what time it is. Now, it's time for
the urban word of the day. The young have a
vocabulary all their own, and we break it down for you.

(01:10:46):
It's called the urban word of the day. The righty
alright e your urban word of the day? Big yikes?
What big yikes? That's something embarrassing. Let me use it
in a sentence. Damn, dude, you don't got your license?
What are you like? Twenty three? That's big yikes. Oh,

(01:11:07):
because we just talked about it, Yes, because we just
talked about the fact that gen Z doesn't want to
get licenses. Oh yeah, so something embarrassing. If you hear
somebody go ooh, that's big yikes, Like maybe you're your
kid says it, or maybe you hear it on the TV,
or maybe at work you might hear it. You go, oh,

(01:11:27):
somebody's embarrassed about something. Big yikes. Is your urban word
of the day. That was the urban word of the day.
Now you know, I'll do no, min I'll do no
the whole thing, because I got a bunch of text yesterday,
people are like talking about the halftime It's like, why

(01:11:47):
are you making fun? I'm making fun of the fact
that we need to have two, just two halftime shows
bizarrely to show some sort of allegiance to something which
I find to be ridiculu. I don't know what you feel.
I just feel it's ridiculous. So that's big yikes to me.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three

(01:12:09):
at Chad Benson show, that's your ex your Insta, your
YouTube and all the other things like and subscribe there
helps out the old Chadminton show coming up. Speaking of
big yikes, I think our leaders should be big yikes
right now. As we learn more and more about the
Epstein stuff and the fact that there is no other
perpetrators besides a whole bunch of what seems to be

(01:12:31):
perpetrators inside of the files or whatever you want to
call them, talk a bit about that. Our buddy Mike
Lions Military and let's going to join the program. We're
going to talk to you about Iran. Are we getting
closer and closer? How closer are we to getting a deal?
I think it's a good question to ask, because I
heard We have more hardware there now in that area
than we did during like desert storm, which is uncomfortable.

(01:12:55):
Plus we've got what's trending, and of course your Monk March,
among other things. It's all coming up hour aver to
each other.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
A new gallupole has arrived and it is ugly. So
the new gallupole. America's optimism is in the crapper slumps
to the dumps record low. Democrats, Hispanic adults report greatest
drop since twoenty twenty four, So this is optimism. Are
you optimistic for the next five years? Are you optimistic

(01:13:56):
that in the next five years life is going to
get better and you're going to be an better precision
five years from now? Democrats and Hispanics showed a large drop,
bigger than even black adults did in the past year.
Their optimism is plomating. How about the whites? So let's

(01:14:16):
break it down. So twenty twenty one, right, so going forward,
let's go just go their white sixty five percent optimism
Black adults seventy six, Hispanic adults seventy two, twenty four
sixty one percent of white adults sixty nine point nine
percent of Black adults and sixty nine point two percent
of Hispanic adults. Twenty twenty five, fifty six point five

(01:14:41):
white adults, that was their percentage of optimism that they saw.
Black adults dropped to sixty seven point seven. Hispanic adults
sixty three point two percent. What does that mean? White adults,
Black adults and Hispanic adults in particular saw the largest drop,
a decline of six percent for Hispanics Blacks, a decline

(01:15:05):
of two point two in whites, four point six amongst
all adults three point five. Now, when you go to
the political parties, so the Democrats ridding ha in twenty
twenty one, sixty nine point seven percent. By twenty four
they realized Joe Biden was insane, This wasn't gonna end well.

(01:15:26):
Sixty four point seven last year fifty seven point one,
a drop of seven point six in the overall change
from twenty twenty one to today. Republicans, it's basically a
push overall. So from twenty twenty one, six d eight

(01:15:51):
point three percent were like, yeah, this is good. By
twenty twenty four, sixty three point five. It jumped up
a little bit. In twenty five, and the change between
twenty one and twenty five was four point eight, but
the change since then is up one. So in independence,

(01:16:12):
it's kind of you know, sixty four point nine percent
twenty twenty one, twenty four fifty nine point nine twenty
five fifty eight point four. Change from twenty one to
twenty four's minus five percent. Changed since twenty four is
minus one and a half percent. What does this all mean?
People aren't happy, They're not thrilled by what they see.

(01:16:35):
They don't feel like life is getting better. It's more expensive.
I'll say, I went to the you know, they can
go out there and go it's the greatest economy. It's
never been an economy. All of those things. I didn't
buy it with Biden says, and I'm gonna buy when
you're saying, I went out the other day for super
Bowl stuff. So we we's got a little bit of
you know, munchies and stuff. Wasn't anything crazy chicken wings.

(01:16:57):
We got a little thing of chicken wings. It was
like twenty two bucks. It was insane. It was People
are feeling it. They're uncomfortable with it. They don't have
the optimism right now. It's not just the Gallipole.

Speaker 5 (01:17:11):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 18 (01:17:12):
So you know, if you know anything about Donald Trump,
you know that he built his two presidential victories on
winning voters without a college degree.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Well, Donald Trump's.

Speaker 18 (01:17:20):
Base with non college voters is absolutely collapsing. What are
we talking about here, Well, why don't we just take
a look voters without a college degree on Donald Trump?
Look at this back in twenty twenty four, he won
those voters over Kamala Harris by fourteen points. You come
over to this side of the screen. What's his net
approval rating with him? He is underwater by nine points.
That's a twenty three point switcherou with his base of

(01:17:43):
non college voters, he is absolutely collapsing with a group
of voters that helped put him into.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
The White House collapsing. So not only do you have
you have non college voters who are moving away from you,
Hispanics that are moving away from you, Independents that are
really moving away from you. This is a I wouldn't
quite call it a four alarm fire. I would maybe
say it's get everybody in the city here fire right

(01:18:10):
now before it gets so out of control that it's
the great fire that destroyed London.

Speaker 18 (01:18:16):
You know, you see this, You see this drop of
twenty three points right from plus fourteen Trump to now
he's underwater by nine points. How is that impacting their
views on how they're going to vote for Congress. Well,
you see a similar story going on here, right, Take
a look. In the twenty twenty four election, Republicans won
those voters, those non college voters by thirteen points.

Speaker 5 (01:18:33):
Now they're just ahead by just one, two, three, four points.

Speaker 18 (01:18:38):
When you can count on one hand, you know that
you're in trouble if you're Donald John Trump and the
Republican Party in this case, the Republican Party when it
comes to the voters in Congress. And of course, a
four point lead among non college voters is not anywhere
close to being good enough because Democrats are dominating among
voters with a college three up by twenty points. At
this point, the Democratic base with college voters is and

(01:19:00):
the Republican base with non college.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Voters is collapsing. Trump's not getting the college voters. He
was getting those blue collared, frustrated people who said, hey,
I'm here for you. Right. You know, they're living in
their woke craziness. They're living in the world where they
look down upon you because they've got something on a
piece of paper and they got massive debt, and you're

(01:19:23):
out there working with your hands. I'm here for you.
Guess what those people are leaving him? And he never
really had the college educated folk.

Speaker 18 (01:19:32):
One of the reason why Donald Trump has been able
to bring non college voters into the Republican ranks is
because he said, Hey, I'm going to bring back those jobs,
those manufacturing jobs that were lost to free trade. Right,
bringing those tabs restrict those jobs from moving overseas. But
there's just a bit of a problem going on here.
How about those manufacturing jobs. In December of twenty twenty five,

(01:19:54):
compared to the beginning of the Donald Trump presidency, the
manufacturing jobs have gone Audios and medigoes, see you later.
They I've been going away down sixty three thousand versus
January of twenty twenty five, with an agri even larger
collapse since Liberation Day.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Right, So, what we're dealing with is a.

Speaker 18 (01:20:10):
Donald Trump message that is not actually meeting the reality.
And that is why non college voters have been going
away from the President of the United States and away
from Republicans as well.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
And the most important thing he said right there. When
you know you listen to him talk about why they're
moving away for this, That is he promises people all
these things were going to happen, and it's not meeting
the reality, which is the most important thing, the reality.
You can tell everybody how amazing the stock market is,

(01:20:43):
record four one K. That is all wonderful. Nobody wants
to see the market collapse. I don't. But if you're
thirty seven and you've got a wife and two kids,
right or you're a woman who's trying to build a job,
you've got your education, you're spending god knows how much
money to cover your bills, including your student loans. Your

(01:21:08):
four to one K is great for thirty years from now,
but either if you're borrowing on it, that isn't a
good look and you can't access otherwise without paying a
huge penalty. It's what are you doing for me today?
And it's that K shape we've always talked about with
the economy, the upper killing it doing great. Life's never

(01:21:32):
been better. The middle class and the lower the struggle
is real, and they're frustrated because they thought this was
going to change three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three atch had Benson Show, is your
ex your insta, Facebook, YouTube, all the other stuff. Let
me know what you think on this and all the

(01:21:53):
other things. Meanwhile, the fallout from Epstein continues. The only
people that seem concerned about this are the Bridge They
we can't. We don't know what's going on, but we can't.
And Cure Starmer may be on his way out the door.
In fact, I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna throw that.
I don't know if this is this is anything that
you know. People don't realize who follow any of this stuff.

(01:22:15):
He's in a lot of trouble right from mandelssin, the
guy he pointed to be the ambassador here to the
US who had dealings with him, and now other things
are coming out. It is I mean, Cure Starmer. Things
aren't going great there anyways, and this is the way
it goes right, And this is a lesson, I believe,

(01:22:36):
for Trumps as it is for anybody. When things are good,
stuff that's noise. Although this isn't noise, but you know
what I mean, people ignore it, right, It's just Dan
I want to change. Things are good. We're not gonna
mess with anything, but when things aren't great, people are frustrated,

(01:22:58):
people start to think you're playing games. All of those
things add up, and we're starting to see that with
the Brits as a funny front page of CNN. While
America continues to see roadblocks with Epstein, the Brits are
moving forward at breakneck speed.

Speaker 19 (01:23:17):
An email in the Epstein file suggests the former prints
forwarded government documents to Jeffrey Epstein in twenty ten, when
Epstein was already a convicted sex offender. The documents were
reports about trips the then Duke of York made as
a UK government trade envoy. Now an anti monarchy group
in the UK says it has reported Andrew to UK

(01:23:38):
Police for suspective misconduct in public office please, saying they
are quote assessing the information.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
They want him to come over here testify. They are
looking at him actually giving away trade secrets potentially that
could see him punished. Now what does that look like?
I don't know, but this is all adding to the
pressure of ker Stammer with Mandelsson, the guy that he appointed,

(01:24:07):
who also you know, said he had some dealings with
that some people knew. And then this new batch of
emails is dropped. Next thing, you know, you find out
he had all kinds of stuff. I mean, this is
a nightmare and they want to get to the bottom
of it. Yet here we are in America and nothing nothing.
Every time there seems to be something, there's a roadblock.

(01:24:28):
Every time there seems to be something. It's like Lucy
with the football it moves, and Rocan and Massy. They
can do all they want, but the powers that be
are protecting the power full and we should all be
pissed about that. Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show,

So there you go, Clemency discord, Thomas Massey, let me say,

(01:28:35):
Thomas Massey, Adi McNugget gerg Via has read the McNugget. Keavia,
We're in indeed kids, And finally over to Twitter. Still
super Bowl, still fighting over the super Bowl stuff, which
makes me laugh. Three two three, twenty four to twenty

(01:28:58):
three act she had Benson Show, is your your Insta? YouTube?
And all the other stuff right here on the Chad
Benson Show, TPUSA, Bad Bunny, just so stupid? How did
we get here? How did we get here? Cuba? Thomas Massey,

(01:29:24):
all things trending in the magical world out of er?
Why are we fighting over this? Because we are? Okay,
It's what we do, It's what we're all about, all right,
So just get over it? Which was your favorite yesterday?
Getting text messages and emails from people talking about well,
bad Bunny. I'm like, you didn't even know, well his
words are you don't even know. You don't speak Spanish,

(01:29:45):
you don't speak Spanish, you don't even know what words
were spoken? Well, I read you read? What tell me?
Tell me what did you read? Do you know what
song that's from? No, you don't. You just want to
be in an uproar. I want to be angry. Oh

(01:30:07):
my god, the insanity of it all. The viewing side
of things looks right around one hundred and thirty five,
one hundred and thirty six million, which would be the
largest halftime show in history. So that's pretty damn big.
So and then TPUSA is like, well, we got, you know,

(01:30:30):
twenty million, and then Apple, who also streamed the show,
Apple Music, said well we got fifty million. So there
you go, kids, there you go. Everybody's arguing over size.
What a world we live in? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three At Chad Menson's Show,
is your ex, your Insta, Facebook, and all the other
things coming up with good buddy Mike Lyons joins a

(01:30:50):
program talk about, yes, the wars around the world because
there's too damn many of them.

Speaker 4 (01:30:54):
Chad Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson

(01:31:20):
Show is that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Horture of the program as we have ever seen a
week bringing on our man, the myth, the legend, the
best damn military analyst in the business, tried major Mike clients.
All right, Mike, let's start first and foremost we're gonna
get to Iron and a couple other things. But I
want you know, the quietness of what is happening in
Ukraine is it just feels weird right now, like something's

(01:31:44):
not going on, Like it's almost that quiet before the storm,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
I think there's a lot to that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:51):
It's winter time and it affects both sides on the
ground tactically. I think that's the situation whereas we thought
that Russia would take advantage of this attack strategic targets
inside of Ukraine try to shut the lights out, so
to speak, but they just can't do that at this point.
There's still peace talks taking place, and I'm with Dobby

(01:32:12):
and that's going on. But I think from what I've
talked to folks on the ground there, they're just holding
off and they recognize they've got to get through the
next few months and kind of dig in. And the
Russian soldier does not have a resolve to fight right now,
and I think that's the major issue in their side
of if they ever expect to break through, their military

(01:32:32):
is going to have to get more motivated, and they're
just not there. They've completely almost peaked out at this point.
So I don't see Russian moving forward tactically, and that's
why the stalemate exists.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
Mike, how much has this war remade their population? You know,
we talk about the eighties, seventies and eighties with Iran
and Iraq and how a vast majority of their young
men were completely wiped out. That's why right now their
generation is so young. How much has this done the
same thing for me? The brain drain where everybody fled,
or the death of young men being thrown up.

Speaker 6 (01:33:03):
There, well, both sides, right so, but Ukraine did have
some of its population leave the country, So there's still
somewhat on the sideline right now. And they're in the
United States, and I think that they've been they've been
somewhat sheltered as they've been forced to have the older
generation at least show up on the front lines and

(01:33:23):
be the ones fighting the conflict.

Speaker 5 (01:33:26):
Right now, I think Russia is a little different.

Speaker 6 (01:33:28):
Russia has already divided many many generational fault lines and
fault lines that exist within the country culturally, as they
don't all speak the same language. Eleven time zones, all
the things that go with it. So in that case,
it's more or less almost like what the Vietnam War
did the United States. It's going to break it up
in certain parts in certain areas will be more effected

(01:33:48):
than that. But the center of gravity in Moscow and
what's happening there, I think that'll remain the center of
power of Russia and it remains to be seen what
will happen there.

Speaker 5 (01:34:00):
But in the outskirts you might.

Speaker 6 (01:34:01):
See a change that will take place in more uprisings
because of the men that have been forced to come
from those areas to fight this war.

Speaker 2 (01:34:10):
Talking to Michael Lines, our military analysts, all right, let's
switch over. I read some of the other day that
we have so much hardware throughout the Middle East right
now that it is more than we had during Desert Storm.
We've got that flotilla that's there, I mean, you know,
I mean the artillery, the arm We could bring armageddon
if we want to, which says to me, you know,
I'm not quite sure how serious we are about these negotiations.

(01:34:34):
I feel like they're more of a stall tactic to
get in place something.

Speaker 5 (01:34:38):
I just don't believe. The Uranians are going to negotiate.
They're not giving up their nukes, they're not giving up
their missiles.

Speaker 6 (01:34:44):
They just you know, not proven that there's anything any
kind of pressure that will come to bear. Obama tried,
you know, appeasement basically, and so did Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:34:53):
That didn't work.

Speaker 6 (01:34:54):
I give them somewhat of a pass, I guess because
they thought that this is good to be solved. But
you know, Trump, what's the target? You know Trump has
assembled that's right in our model. We've got f one
seven teams set, the largest number of sea seventeens. I'm
told we're in the area as well. Those are the
logistics and supply trains. I don't see the Uranians caving though,

(01:35:15):
And so what's the target it'll.

Speaker 5 (01:35:18):
And when's it going to happen.

Speaker 6 (01:35:19):
I think in some ways the Olympics is going to
put a pause on things, kind of like what happened
back in Russia when before they invaded the Crimea back
when I.

Speaker 5 (01:35:27):
Was twenty fourteen.

Speaker 6 (01:35:28):
I think that's the same thing taking place right now.
So the fist is winding up. But I can tell
you this, the United States doesn't put that much military
equipment in a place and doesn't use it.

Speaker 5 (01:35:38):
So at some point I do think you're going to
stay a comfort there.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
You know, you talk about that and you and I
go over this every week. He was like, what is
the target, Mike? What are we going to do? Because
we're not taking out all of the Mullahs and the
Ayatolas and all. That's not going to happen if we did,
all we're probably going to do is leave the Republican
Guard to control everything. And then you know, the fear
is it's going to into a Libya or Syria where

(01:36:01):
it's going to devolve into the army taking on them
and it's a civil war, which is something we don't want.
I just I don't like you said, they're not going
to negotiate. They have no reason to negotiate, right.

Speaker 5 (01:36:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:36:14):
The thing is that the Runian army, the regular army,
is kind of the indispensable force right now. I think
they are large in number, the fathers and sons and
of the regular people. As there's a divide that exists
within that country, you know, it's somewhat of a communist
going to divide the house and the have nots and
exists there.

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
They could control.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
They have weapons, but revolutionary Guard, Republican Guards, all of
the other regime operations, their secret forces. They still are
the invisible hand right now. So it's the only other
thing I can say is that arounds a smart country,
they have infrastructure, they've got more capability than of citizens

(01:36:58):
that we're in Libya and in Theory and.

Speaker 5 (01:37:00):
That's other places. So there's still a possibility that an
uprising happens.

Speaker 6 (01:37:03):
It's just rare in history that you see that taking place.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
Talking to my clients or military analysts and Mike, let's
just say, for the sake of argument, we try to
decapitate and we hit or whatever, but then they decide
they're going to come back at us, and probably is real.
I mean, let's be real. BB's here again. He might
as well buy a house here at the rate he's going.
So let's just say that does happen. What is there
if they want to get serious, what can they do

(01:37:31):
and where would they focus on?

Speaker 5 (01:37:33):
Chad? I think they have one shot.

Speaker 6 (01:37:34):
Okay, they probably can launch one massive strike against Israel
US forces. US forces when that region will be on
high alert and bunkers and will protect the force, but
we can they won't be able to probably hit our
naval assets that are there as they are really good
at defending themselves, and those systems that are on those
and those ships that are out and will be out

(01:37:56):
on the stretch of our roots and then the Mediterranean.
But they'll have one shot, and I think what will
happen is then you'll see a little bit of a
calm for a couple of days, and then the response
back will be overwhelming and they won't be able to
respond to that.

Speaker 5 (01:38:08):
So I don't think. I think Israel took.

Speaker 6 (01:38:11):
A lot of their capability out about six or eight
months ago when when they had those strikes, and I
do think that, but they did.

Speaker 5 (01:38:18):
They have one punch left.

Speaker 6 (01:38:19):
The question is whether or not it's going to floor
Israel or set them back enough where they won't be
able to respond back.

Speaker 5 (01:38:24):
I just don't think that's the case.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
Would if you with them, would it be more advantageous
to go after Israel because you're not going to go off,
don't go after our our you know, the Armada flowing
out there, because that's going to need more quicker problemly,
so would you just ignore in some ways and just
go If this is the way we're gonna play, We're
gonna go after Israel rather than go after America itself,
you know, or go after you know, the half the

(01:38:47):
half assed like they did last time we called twenty
four hours ahead, but then really go after Israel.

Speaker 6 (01:38:51):
Yeah, if I don't want to give a round military advice,
But if I was Israel preparing for an attack, I
would be preparing for twenty five hundred ballistic and missiles
and all kinds of missiles coming my way, And I
think that would be the umbrella I would be looking
to put up. I would be asking the United States
for air defense support, both from the sea and.

Speaker 5 (01:39:13):
Then on land.

Speaker 6 (01:39:15):
I think that's what they should be planning for, because
to your point, if they shoot at a US ship
or a US asset there, then Katie bar the door
that's over and then here we go, you know that, and
then gives us every right to go fire back. But
they could still overwhelm Israel's air defense systems and hit
targets Untel of Ev and hit military targets up and

(01:39:35):
down the coast there.

Speaker 5 (01:39:36):
That would be significant for Israel.

Speaker 6 (01:39:38):
So if I'm Israel, I'm preparing for a blizzard of
rockets and missiles coming my way from.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
Their ANIMs talking to Mike Lines are military analysts. You
know what the whole thing with Israel, you know, I
was talking about what's their end game? All right? We
know they're in game. Is they want somebody that will
basically be a bit of you know, the West puppet
in there. But I don't I think that country's youth,
even if they've got the opportunity to get the Iatols out,

(01:40:04):
want any part of that. How do they go about,
you know, trying to say, look, we want to be friends.
We don't, you know, we don't want to be frenemies,
and we don't want to be enemies anymore. Because yeah,
if I'm if I'm you know, a twenty five year
old architect in Tehran, I want these guys gone. But
I'm not necessarily sure I want to be Israel's best

(01:40:26):
pal either.

Speaker 6 (01:40:28):
I think that alignment then will come with Turkey, with
other countries. I think in Israel is the de facto
hedgemonic power now because of the United States and the
Western influence it brings, and so they are calling the shots.
You have other Middle Eastern countries looking to become part
of the abram Accords, and so if the Iranians are
smart that they would they wanted that position before they

(01:40:50):
could live.

Speaker 5 (01:40:50):
They could coexist with Israel.

Speaker 6 (01:40:52):
I think that's maybe what we're driving at for them.
But I do think other countries become indispensable. Turkey, for example,
has always been very well aligned with i wrong, you know,
formerly part of the Ottoman Empire.

Speaker 5 (01:41:05):
You know, they have the same DNA.

Speaker 6 (01:41:07):
They're Persians, and Turkey could lift them into this area
where they're at least on par with Israel in the
region overall globally. You know, Israel has its detractors that
we know of that always are out there in the
United States, you know, is obviously the biggest backer there.
But I do believe the Iranians are a smart population

(01:41:28):
and we'll figure out a way to coexist and accept
the fact that the United States backs Israel as a
hegemonic military power until the Uranians, you know, kind of
get their society back together again.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
Talking to my clients are military analysts. Let's go over
to Asia. Obviously, China is the you know, they're still
doing their thing. They're still pushing the envelope, but not
maybe as much as before. I feel like they're I
feel like g sitting around going all right, I might
want to do something, but I'm trying to pick my
you know, the Venezuela thing didn't you know, didn't devolve

(01:42:01):
in anything crazy just yet, even though we just traded
one bad person for another bad person. But I'm still
looking over there at Taiwan. I'm still looking there a
lot of different places and thinking to himself, I don't
feel like he wants to let this go forever where
he doesn't get the credit for all of the stuff.
And I feel also like he's you know, he's kind

(01:42:22):
of went out and he took out all of his
best friends who were in the military.

Speaker 5 (01:42:26):
I think that's the major point.

Speaker 6 (01:42:28):
And he's then putting in place different military planners, and unfortunately,
it appears that they are telling him what he wants
to hear, as opposed to the people who he had
in place there who dealt with reality that basically said,
you don't want to get into a fight with the
United States. And as much as they don't appear to
have the same military assets in the region, it's similar

(01:42:51):
to the mistake the Japanese made in the Second World War.

Speaker 5 (01:42:54):
You're going to just awaken a sleeping.

Speaker 6 (01:42:56):
Tiger, and that will be the case because you know,
China doesn't have innovation. China will go into this war
with a mass advantage, and that's what they'll try to do.
They'll throw everything at it initially and believe that's what
it's going to take to win. But the United States
will have endurance and we'll have innovation.

Speaker 5 (01:43:12):
We'll have things on a shelf that'll that'll come in
and appear in the battlefield. I do think that.

Speaker 6 (01:43:18):
But we have to be more concerned about this Beijing
relationship with Russia because they could still you know, they're
the ones that are still supporting the Russians on that side.
So China is, you know, a complex problem set for
the US right now, clearly our number one adversary out there.
So that's why I don't think this conflict is just
limited right there to Taiwan. It spans into Asia, it

(01:43:39):
spans into Europe as they continue to support Russia, and
we have to just see where it's going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
Good feeling if tomorrow we woke up and you found out,
oh my god, China launched an attack against Taiwan and
it's ugly. What do you think Trump does in our military.

Speaker 6 (01:43:57):
Well, in order to defend one US forces would have
to attack into China, as Chinese military assets would be
attacking into Taiwan coming land based. I think that's a question.
He'd have to come to grips with that. I frankly
don't think he would do I think he would. I
think he would, you know, try to get military assets

(01:44:19):
there and carry your groups and try to defend it
from a from more of a tactical perspective, but you'd
have to take out the strategic weapons that are attacking
Taiwan from again from a military perspective. So I don't
think he would do it because I think he recognizes
that it would risk, you know, losing a West coast
city or something, it loses a you know, starting this
conflict with China just doesn't make a lot of sense.

(01:44:40):
And so that's why in some ways the Chinese are
still deterred. They're still deterred by it. They would pay
a price globally. But frankly, I still don't think any
president would pull the trigger and attack assets inside of
mainland China.

Speaker 5 (01:44:53):
That that would be that would be a bridge too far.

Speaker 2 (01:44:55):
He is the best day in military ass in the business.

talk about peace and peace is a wonderful thing. And
guess what. The Peace March, the walk of walks, the
monks on the move.

Speaker 8 (01:46:54):
As quickly as you can snack the pebbles from my head,
when you can take the pebble from my hand, it
would be time for you to.

Speaker 2 (01:47:01):
Leave now it's time for your daily Monk Marching update.
Time for you to leave, all right, all right, all right,

crossed paths with them. You go on and you can
see them. They're walking. Man, They've got a good they
got a nice little steady step going there, just moving around.

(01:47:23):
Brisk brisk walk, brisk walk. I'm watching them right now.
It's about twenty thousand people currently watching them. So they're
gonna get to DC today. They're supposed to be some
sort of ceremony thing tonight. I don't know exactly what
that's gonna be. You're gonna stop by American University later on.
And as I said earlier, I told producer Phil in
a text to make me kick your ass. They're walking

(01:47:43):
by Leeb, which is where we broadcast from. Now I'm
out here in Nashville, but that's where the whole you know,
shebang is right the mothership, and you need to get
out there and say, hey, what's up. Chance that's hi.
So they left in October of last year and getting
to DC one hundred and eighth day of the journey
some twenty what seven hundred miles give or take, through snow,

(01:48:07):
through all kinds of stuff. Man, they are doing it.
They are out there doing it, and people are loving
every second of it.

Speaker 12 (01:48:15):
It's a beautiful thing, honestly, bringing people together to watch them.

Speaker 7 (01:48:19):
It's a great I think it's a powerful movement.

Speaker 2 (01:48:22):
Powerful, just yeah. And it's such a great message.

Speaker 11 (01:48:26):
Yeah, so many good messages and Buddhism piece and understanding.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
So it's such a great message. We need it now.

Speaker 1 (01:48:33):
Yeah, And it's a lot going on in the world
right now.

Speaker 21 (01:48:36):
So this just being able to be a part of
this movement is just an amazing thing.
