Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Stop me if you've heard this one before. They want
to make a deal. We spoke to him last night.
There's no other thing they can do. We're gonna make
a deal. It's gonna happen. Have you heard that before.
Do I think that there's going to be any deal?
Hell to the no, I don't think there's going to
be a deal. Do I think he's going to say

(00:34):
stuff like this?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I want to give him every last chance before decapitation.
Very tough to do what we have planned still planned.
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, then do it. At this point, we're you know,
we're gonna talk to Mike Lineser Military Anaeles coming up
a little bit. You said that that they called you
begging not to do something. Come to find out, no,
it was Saudy Ray that called you and said, oh,
by the way, don't, don't don't because you can't protect us,

(01:16):
so let's not do this. Please. If you could not
do this, that'd be awesome. It's going to be open.
I'm here to tell you right now. The straits and
I'm looking at them right now, at this point in time,
the straits of Hormus could be open at any second,
probably will be open. It's a bedez No, it's not open,

(01:39):
according to the live traffic closed.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Closed.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
People are frustrated, people are pissed, gas prices going up.
Nobody is thrilled by this, and you're stuck between a
rock and a hard place. I get it. You don't
want to lose politically, understand, But this is the job,
and you chose to do something that many advise you
not to do. But you did it anyways, and in

(02:11):
doing so, we're now in a position where peace at
best is going to be start stop at best for
a while, and then after the midterm. Scott only knows
what may happen. He may decide to go whole hog,

(02:34):
full Monty, full throttle, if you will, If if the
Republicans get beat, he may say, screw it, I'm gonna
do it. I'll show you I'm gonna be a lame duck.
Might as well get this done. Or he may say, sorry,
didn't work, bounce. I have no idea. What I do
know is we're in something we shouldn't be in. It's

(02:55):
costing you and I every single day, and it's going
to continue to cost us more and more going forward,
Patrick Dahan.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
After August eighth, if the national average is still above
the four dollar mark, it'll be the latest in the
calendar year that we've ever seen that four dollar gallon
mark still stick around. So just a lot of uncertainty,
constant back and forth.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
We've been here before.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
So whether or not there's going to be a permanent
deal is what motorists are going to be looking for.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And there's not going to be a permanent deal. I'm
going to tell you now there's not because, first of all,
a Ron's already said we're not dealing with you guys,
and they're like, oh, we got a deal done according
to who. Secondly, your ask is you guys give up everything,
basically apologize to us, and then we'll put some more

(03:43):
sanctions on you and if you're good in the future,
we're gonna we're gonna take care of you. Yeah, that
isn't gonna work. That isn't We're into something we shouldn't
be in. And everybody knows it. That's it. It's as
simple as that. Everybody else and the radio world and
un Fox world, they could say, oh, this is the

(04:03):
greatest thing. It's it's a genius. That's It's not a
genius move. It's a crappy move. And everybody knew.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
It a war that every person who was paying attention
new could not be won and that would only damage
the United States. And I told him that repeatedly before
he did it. And it wasn't, from my perspective, just
a mistake. It was like the end of an entire
moment in world history where the United States, you know,
has enough power to influence events. That's all done, I

(04:33):
think because of this, and I think it's going to
dramatically affect the standard of living in the United States
and in Western Europe, which I care about. I think
it's the most disastrous decision any American president has made
in my lifetime, and nothing comes close.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I I mean, Iraq was pretty damaging, there's no doubt
about that, but I mean, this is a disaster, and
it's it's it's so funny because when I talk about
this on my local show, the amount of anger I get.
Yesterday on the thumbnail for the local show, I'm like,

(05:09):
put up a picture of him, you know, with a
taco in his hand and a chicken suit, And normally
people would freak out, but nobody did because a lot
of people are at the point now it's like either
do it or leave. But what does do it mean? See,

(05:31):
that's just it. And this is that escalation trap we've
talked about Professor Peate talks about all the time. Is okay,
if we just do it one more thing, a little
bit harder, a little bit longer, then that'll take care
of it. And I don't think that's gonna happen at all.
Just me, Maybe I'm wrong. I have a feeling though,

(05:52):
I'm right on this one. And gas prices are going up,
and you know what's funny. As they go up, guess
what happened?

Speaker 7 (06:00):
The President directing oil companies on social media to bring
oil prices down.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now based on.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
A shortage, they're making too much money.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't like it. They're going to give some of
that back to the public.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
Meanwhile, gas Buddy says by later this week, the national
average for a gallon of regular could reach its highest
level ever recorded for this point in the year. The
national average for a gallon of regular is now more
than a dollar higher since the start of the war
with the RAN.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So I just want to get this right, because we
got into war. We should never have been in causing
a co which, by the way, can we just say,
and we talked about on Friday. To think that there's
not something going on in the market would be foolish.
There's no way that there is this amount of oil

(06:48):
removed from the global supply, and you not see gas
at six bucks in oil at one hundred and fifteen,
one hundred and twenty. So but the thought that you
want them to not make profit off something they did
the start is fascinating considering you are out there selling

(07:11):
access to you.

Speaker 8 (07:13):
The idea here is that they will get access within
milliseconds faster if you will, than.

Speaker 9 (07:19):
Me or you.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
When we see these things posted on the president's social
media platform. Critics have raised the prospects of that, but
also say that it's corrupt, that it's another example of
presidential self enrichment.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, you think, I mean, you think. I mean, he's
already enriched himself on numerous occasions and for whatever reason.
And this is when you bring this up there the
wound about with Hunter Biden. I don't care Hunter Biden
is jump change to what they have done and what

(07:53):
they continue. He's selling access to his truth thingies. I
don't know truth bombs. What do you call him? Kind
of funny because probably not many truth bombs in them,
but still, what do you call it? You're selling access?
I nobody has a problem with nobody does How can
you not? How can you not have a problem with it? So,

(08:16):
and the reason people should have a problem is because
if you go looking in the past when he has
mentioned things, trades have happened prior to that on things
he's going to mention, which then does what moves the market,
which then gives him opportunity to make money, which is
what they're They're they're not buying access to him saying

(08:41):
something interesting that they have to hear thirty seconds before
everybody else. They're buying access because he may say something
about an industry or a certain company that is either
going to have an amazing movement in the market or
is going to get in the market, if you will.

(09:02):
So that's why they're not going. I hope we can
get this early because I want to see if he's
gonna say something about Judge Janine Biro. Oh lord, speaking
of that, how about that? Did he hit her yesterday?
Came out and just absolutely thumped on her. She's a
failure I'm just telling you she should have choked. She

(09:25):
was a choker, I mean absolutely choked.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
We weren't necessarily thrilled with the contractor, but they did
a job and they were fixing any problems. But then
I got carried away because the judge was extremely unfriendly
to Janine, and frankly, I think she choked.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
How did she choke? It's not what you know, it's
what you can prove. And she made, you know what,
she made the adult decision going yeah, we're not gonna
prove this in court. We're gonna look like idiots. And
by the way, not this is the OLYMPI. They had
to drop other charges as well, and this has been
a pattern when it comes to, you know, several of

(10:11):
these situations within the Trump administration of over promising, coming out,
going after people in public, talking about their guilt and
all the things they've done, only to find out that
none of that was real. And then Nick quietly dropped
the charges. I mean, I don't know what else to say.

(10:33):
I think we can be honest here. That's kind of
what happened. And you know, it was to think that
some guy what wandered out in the middle of it
and cut a massive cut three football fields long. I mean,

(11:02):
I'm not saying there aren't people out there that are
would love to do you knockover statues and knowl like,
of course there is, but come on it just what
it does is it undermines the people that you're working
with and the administration and the office itself because your

(11:24):
contractor that you hired, that you didn't know anything about,
but that you were talking about how great he was
building pools but you've never met him before, didn't know
anything about him, did a shoddy job. That's it? What
do you think? Let me know? Three two, three, five,

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Little Primary Day Today in Michigan, El said Willie won't.

Speaker 11 (13:17):
He El Sayed has called the war in Gaza a
genocide and accuses Stevens of being a reliable pro Israel vote,
but as critics accuse him of fueling anti Semitism, nobody.

Speaker 12 (13:28):
Will fight harder against anti Semitism than somebody who intimately
understands what it's like to be discriminated against it.

Speaker 13 (13:36):
Because of how I pray.

Speaker 11 (13:37):
Stevens calls herself a proud pro Israel Democrat man says
she won't allow outside money to buy her vote. A
pro Israel group and its affiliates have also spent nearly
thirty million dollars backing Stevens.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, I don't think that's going to work. I believe L.
Saed is gonna win, but doesn't mean that he's gonna
win until you win a general DSA and the Wakadu's
out there, then go from that. Okay, it all sounds great,
but until you win the general. And we talk about
this all the time midterm, mondays, you know what matters
quality of candidate, and winning in a primary is not

(14:12):
winning in a general. Those are two separate things. And
we see that both on the right and the left.
And the right has their issue too with Ohio Rep.
Max Miller, who's not backing down or stepping away when
it comes to his race and trying to win re
election with the abuse allegations out there, and so Ohio Rep.

(14:34):
Max Miller was married to Bernie Moreno, who's a senator
who last week dropped the who the f do you
think you are? De Fauci was married to her, and
he has been accused of abuse both to her and
to their child, which there they have found, right you know,

(14:57):
DCS or Department of Children's Services. They've said they haven't
found any abuse claims. That being said, there's some serious
allegations here, and there are police reports.

Speaker 14 (15:08):
The congressman was married to the senator's daughter, Emily, who
claimed she was a victim of spousal abuse. Miller says,
that's just not true.

Speaker 12 (15:16):
I categorically deny abusing my former wife.

Speaker 14 (15:20):
In a February police report obtained by ABC News, the
congressman's ex wife claims he threw her against the wall,
once held a gun to her head, and another time
threw hot water on her.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
What a disgusting pig if indeed these things happen. And again,
allegations are one thing, but usually where there's smoke, there's fire.
Not the first allegations against him. Stephanie Grisham former White
House aide who dated him prior to the marriage, has
reiterated that he was physically abusive during their relationship. We'll see,

(15:52):
but he is not going anywhere, even though more and
more people on the Republican side are saying it is
time for you to step down, Willie. No, I don't
think you will. It's gonna have to be something more
than just this. Let me know what you think. I
love hearing from all of you right here the Chad
Benson Show. The interesting thing about this is they're pushing

(16:13):
Trump to focus on Miller as far as hey get
him to step away, get him to step down. And
Trump's playbook has always been, you know, he learned this
from Roy Cohne, the guy who really was probably the
most influential person in Trump's life. Never apologize and never

(16:36):
back down. Never apologize and never back down ever. So
they can push all they want, But do I think
that Trump is going to force him. It's gonna have
to be a situation where Trump looks and says to himself, Okay,

(17:00):
he's gonna lose this race.

Speaker 15 (17:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
See that's the issue. It's not whether or not he
should or shouldn't. Trump's looking at it from the political strategy,
if you will. The strategy is what's best for me.
Is this guy gonna lose us a seat that we
should be winning, then he needs to go. If he's
gonna hold onto the seat, well let's just keep it

(17:24):
as it is and we'll let this thing play itself out.
Coming up, our good buddy, my clients. Military Ana's going
to join the program. We're gonna ask him a lot
of stuff, first about obviously the Middle East and then
also Ukraine, what's going on there. We'll talk to him
straight ahead.

Speaker 16 (17:38):
Chad Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show,

(18:02):
that time of the week to talk to the man.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
The myth, the legend is, I like to say, the
best day of military analyst in the business tried. Major
from the army. Mike Lions joins the program. All right,
first and foremost, Mike, we got to start, obviously with
the what's going on in Iran because I don't think
anybody believes anymore. I don't think the Iranians believe when
Trump says We're gonna destroy you, We're gonna blow everything up,
it's coming today. Well, no it's not. It's I feel

(18:27):
like at this point in time, they go, yeah, we're
not buying that anymore.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, it's a little research on this fourth time in
one hundred and fifty seven days that he's described these
negotiations as the last opportunity April. He's done it with
Islama Blad. He did it you know before the MoU
and yeah, last chance. So what does that What does
that really mean? I just don't know. In the military,

(18:52):
I know, you know, uses this opportunity to go back
and reset. But the whip song is definitely concerning. It's
definitely has a lot of challenges to to what's going
on right now. So you know, again we'll see what happens.
But we've moved a couple more destroyers too that I
think they're more for air defense. But you know, the
military's was ready to go.

Speaker 17 (19:11):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
One of the things I've been telling everybody is we're
focusing on things that Okay, how does this affect us?
Obviously what came over the weekend was the likes of
MBS and several others in the region going, look, we
no longer believe that you're going to be able to
protect us, and they're not saying they're coming after you.
They're saying they're coming after us, and that seemed to

(19:32):
be something where you know, there's a lot of frustration
over there. Jordan last week they were They're like, you
need to kick the Americans out. There's a lot of
frustration growing over there, like we started something, kicked up
a hornet's nest, and we don't seem to be cleaning
it up.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, it doesn't have this kind of NATO feel to
it like it should be with these Gulf States being allies.
I think something that's really no one's talking about. As
you saw Ron and Oman try to negotiate their own
stra of our most deal and access arrangements without Washington
getting involved. And you know, I saw the reports that
the President shut that down, but it just tells you

(20:07):
that the Golf States are really willing to cut these
separate deals with Iran to get their shipping back. I
mean we've seen that in the past, right they all,
you know, they want to go their own way if
if Trump let them do that. Now you've got a
bilateral arrangement giving Iran and Armand's literally recognized straight management authorities,
so that that's not going to work from Washington's perspective.

(20:28):
But to your point, if we don't move this thing
forward and start seeing some real results, then they're going
to continue to do this. It's Iran's plan has always
been just that, peel off these golf states from the
United States, get them concerned about it. Now I think
that that's starting to happen.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
You know, I watched this all breakdown, and I covered
Mike from the from the political side. You're the military guy,
but from the political side of stuff. You know, it's
not whether or not we could win a war, it's
what are we willing to sacrifice. Those kind of things
we could talk about. We could absolutely politically, though I
don't think there's a political move right now for Trump
where he gets a win. And I think what you've
talked about for months is this is going to be

(21:05):
start stop, start stop all the way through the summer,
probably into the new year, because I don't know if
he's waiting to see what really happens in the midterms
or but at some point in time, you think something's
got to give, and that probably includes the price of oil,
where we're no longer going to throw money at it
to probably keep the price down.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, you know, I saw Chris Christian. I'm get a
little political laying here. He did make a comment that
by if this thing keeps up upon the time the
midterms come around, nobody will be wanting to, you know,
get Trump anywhere near their election campaign. Again, you just
look at what the military can do. The airpower can
do only so much. I'm now concerned. I've read a
report this morning about attack them. So that's the offensive

(21:48):
long range military missile capability that it looks like that
we've got some serious shortages going on there because of
what happened of what we gave in Ukraine. Again, very
important for them, but you can buy that with the
THAD missile system. That's that high altitude air defense system,
and then with the Patriot missiles and that's you know,
front front center. Right now, it's starting to be clear

(22:10):
that the United States has real logistics problems with these
canisters and with this capability, and everybody's saying and if
we do something with China, we just won't be able
to make it. So the waterfall is starting to move
in a direction that we might not be able to
control the distance very much longer.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
We have the offensive capability, right, but you're talking about
the defensive side of stuff, which is really what the
golf neighbors are all concerned about as well as our military.
But it's the defensive side that we're lacking at this moment.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yeah, you know, I know we're not going into a
lot of detail on that, but we talked about how
air defense systems are in different layers in different sections,
and they start at high altitude where where the missiles
are moving front kind of quickly to patriots are kind
of close, and that's the thad. Then the patriots are closer,
and then you get closer and closer and they're in

(23:02):
kind of belts or think about them as circles or
whatever and bubbles with regards to that. But if those
if there's breakdown within those systems, then you just don't
have the kind of defenses that make sense that are
going to cause the casualties of the Iranian missiles get through.
And that's that's what we're missing right now.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Talking to Mike Lines our military ls, we talk about
all the things going on globally, what's China thinking of this?
I mean, because obviously they're paying close attention and watching
us exhaust ourselves and the start stop situation over here?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
What are they thinking, Well, what's China's end goal? Is
it Taiwan? Because if that's it, then the United States
is going to let China have it anyway. So I
you know what, I don't even know what does a
war look like with China. You know, you're talking about
we've got this. You know, I'm an army guy, right,
so we've got ground to take in Ukraine. That's clear

(23:56):
as day to me. We're seeing in Iraq on the
effects of an air campaign and again lulled ourselves into
this sense of thinking that that will solve all the problems.
But how are we having a war with China? Like,
what does that kind of look like? And if it's
just Taiwan, then I think we're gonna let them have
it anyway. So in some ways, that's kind of in

(24:17):
the back of the Pentagon planner's minds. You know, a
war with China starts in Taiwan, but would rev up
a couple of years before you'd see maybe the island
hopping strategy that took place during World War Two, and
we would have years to crank up for that. So
I think that's kind of why we're just projecting to

(24:38):
turns there, but not really necessarily saying, eh, you know,
it's really not an immediate threat right now. They take Taiwan,
let's say, right, but now are they going to threaten Japan?
Are they going to threaten South Korea? Australia? You know,
that now becomes World War three for all practical purposes.
But again, if it's Taiwan, the United States is going
to say, we're going to take a pass.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Are we just trying to by time there so we
can get chips spread out around the globe so there's
no worry about a chip shortage that they could dominate.
Is that kind of what we're doing at this point
in time?

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Oh, that's exactly right. And it's happening in Texas right now.
I've been there. They're building foundries. Texas instruments companies are
building foundries as fast as they can because, you know,
similar to the Middle East back in the nineties, the
second that Taiwan is no more this reliance on chips
where we're getting and things of that nature, and the

(25:30):
rarest minerals we know we've we've sourced from some other places.
You know, Taiwan just becomes another vendor that sells them,
which makes them not that important. So that's that's really
what's what's happening there, and that's why we're moving so
fast to do this.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
All right now, we talk about something that we talk
about but I don't hear a lot of other people.
Ukraine is getting hot, it's getting heavy, it's getting I mean,
this is this has been going on because you and
I talked about the amount of death that is happening
with the Russian soldier is. As you said, you can't
sustain that and think that you're going to win this.
But they've bombed a ton of gas stations today. Russia

(26:07):
did there's a chance, you know, Iran is you know
in Ukraine there are they going to start throwing to
I mean, this is crazy chaos that's going on. Break
it down for us.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah, okay, so let's still get the numbers. First, forty
two thousand Russian losses recorded in July. That's you know,
thet that's the highest per month right now, and it
looks like that record keeps getting broken month after month.
I mean, you know, you know, think about that, that
kind of attrition rate, it's just completely unsustainable without without
on Russia side, a major conscription and mobilization that has

(26:41):
that those political aspects of it, So that that alone
from you know, from a military perspective, is incredible. And
thinking about that forty two thousand losses, you know, over
thousand a day. I mean, we're concerned when we lose
two soldiers in a fight and they're losing you know,
fifteen hundred a day. It's just again mind boggling on
some level. And then they about how they're dying by

(27:02):
drones and by it's not it's it's not you know,
five thousand at a time, with these large scale of
the sackings, it's getting pinpricked one at a time by
these very specific drone technology that Ukraine has done. So
so that's pretty amazing. But then flip flip it. On
the other hand, Russia did fire about I guess about
two hundred drones. They're doing about that at night still
in the south and in the southern region there on

(27:23):
the Desk and that Zepparrezia area there, it's just an
absolute no man's land.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
The drone technology that obviously Ukraine has you know, spearheaded
here that is I mean, what what what not only damage,
but what on the defensive side, because that's the thing
they're worried about as well, is like, yeah, they've got
great with the offense and they can go things, you know,
take things forward, and they can try to kill as
many as possible, which they are, But there's still the

(27:48):
defensive side of stuff. What is being used drone wise
for that at all?

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yeah, I guess some of these unmanned surface vessels, right,
I mean they're using them to rest you. They're using them.
They're they're they're just they've got so much capability and
they've been till creative. But on the defensive side, they
use them to tie information together with the intel that
they collect a little more difficult in terms of having

(28:16):
them act on their own. The aerial drones and what
they can release, they're kind of fire and forget right.
They send them down range, they loiter and they're smart
enough to look at their own targets. They pick a
target and they're off on the defensive side a little
bit different. They have to deploy them back again, use
them in more of a manner where it allows them
to make up for man fall shortages. And in a

(28:37):
lot of ways they're these unmanned we'll call them surface vehicles.
You know, they're they're large and look like tanks. They
have no people at them, but but they but they
can perform things and go places where you know a
normal person can't go, do you think.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I mean again, it's fascinating. We've been talking about this
for what two years now three years, all the drone
technology and watching this thing happen. That's the future. The
future is now how close? Until you know, there's the
worry man that we're going to get these you know,
these these things are going to make snap decisions and
they're going to follow their people everywhere, and they're going
to make decisions right then and there and who to

(29:14):
kill and who not to kill. We're not quite there yet,
but we can't be that far away from it.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Yeah, that's Starling whatever though that that's Donald Schwarzenegger movies.
Is exactly what we're going to I mean, we don't
have the necessarily the kind of robots that are made,
but we put weapons in their hands on the on
the ground side. But it's sure taking place in the air.
And again it gets back to the capability and what
they're seeing and who the AI that's inside the drone

(29:41):
that's deciding what's a good target, what's not a good target,
and it's it absolutely is getting to the point where
if a country feels that it's going to use that
as a competitive advantage, well they're going to do it.
And I think Ukraine's getting pretty close to that spot
given the fact that you know, they're they're one fourth
the size of Russia when it comes to people, and

(30:02):
they're doing everything to survive. And it just goes to
show you the outsize intelligence and creativity that the Ukrainians
have in order to try to survive.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
When do we get the robots on the ground? How cool?
Because China is the one thing I'll say, we are
so far behind China when it comes to actual robots.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Yeah, when's that?

Speaker 3 (30:20):
You know?

Speaker 4 (30:20):
The thing about the robots though, that from a military perspective,
we can develop systems, high energy systems that can kind
of blow them away and without you know, recourse on
some level, and I think I think that's probably what's
in the back of Pentagon planners minds or the futurists
are saying that, yeah, you could. You're going to have
to deploy a number that's so big that you'll have

(30:44):
no tactical surprise over it, right, So you know, normal
formations and units, let's say in company sized levels, you know,
one hundred and twenty people or so. And then even
even at the large level of a brigade of twenty
five hundred of men and women and whatever that military formation,
it doesn't They could do a lot of damage with
tanks and everything, but you're gonna need ten thousand robots

(31:06):
to do this kind of the same thing. You got
to scale that at four or five times, And I
think that's a that's a lot different because that that
as again you've seen in movies like that, you know,
it becomes throws and throws the first waves. It's something
where you're just hoping OtherSide runs out of AMMO at
that point. So that that's kind of the futurestic side
of that that you have to kind of consider when
you're when you go to when you go to that spot.

(31:27):
But a great, great conversation to have.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
So give us a snapshot a week from now, we
talk what do you think happens to me now in
next Tuesday. But you know, especially in the Middle East.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Well, again, from if I'm the military advisor to President Trump,
I walk in and say, sir at this point, we
need to start a thirty day air campaign that is
going to do this, this, and this going to completely
decapitate any I r GC capability that from a leadership perspective, UH,
start to take out some infrastructure, start to take out

(31:59):
some areas that we know that will generate revenue for
the Iranians and tell them this time, we're not stopping
until thirty days is over unless you decide to uniratally
surrender between now and then. That would be my advice
to him.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
My client's best dam military analyst in the business, retired major.
Appreciate you coming on as always, We'll talk to you
next week.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Thanks chat, thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Love talking to Mike. You want to reach out to
Mike at any given time, check out his Twitter or
ax or whatever you want to call it. At Maj
Mike Alliance. You can follow along with him right there.
In Cognate Data. You know, as we talk about all
this stuff, what about data that's a weapon that people
use like criminals, thieves, scammers. Don't let that happen to you.
In Cognate is here to help scammers? What do they do?

(32:46):
Spam your phone, text messages, calls you know what I like. Listen.
Quiet doesn't happen to me anymore, thank you very much.
Data brokers so collecting and selling personal information like phone number,
email address, home address, all theformation you could think of.
Data brokers happened. They sell to anybody. That's where Cogniti
comes in, okay, and Cognate works on your behalf automatically

(33:07):
requests removal of your personal information from hundreds and I'm
talking hundreds of data brokers and people search sites. They've
gotten me off hundreds and hundreds of them. That's why
my phone is so quiet, and I think it's time
for your phone to be quiet as well. Take your
personal information off the market, and Cognitate automatically sends remove
request over and over and over again. They know what

(33:29):
they're doing better than anybody else out there, and they're
gonna get you off those lists. Ready to get your
personal information out of the hands of data brokers sixty
percent off right now. When you go to incogniti dot
com slash benson, that promo code is Benson. That's in
cognity dot com slash benson code Benson. Because sometimes the
sweetest sound your phone can make is nothing at all

(33:50):
at Chad Benson Show x insta YouTube. We're gonna be
live tonight on the YouTube. Coming up, Darlings talk a
little bit about baseball. Have the Dodger ruined Baseball? We
will discuss that, among other things. Chad bets to show.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Deep States No Deep Doo doo e The Chad Fanson Show.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Have the Dodgers Ruined Baseball? Derek scoobl former Detroit Tiger
now Los Angeles Dodger, arguably one of the top two
or three pitchers in baseball, traded to the Dodgers. The
Dodgers have players that are I mean, you go down,
up and down the roster. It is just filled with
superstars among superstars. But next year there's going to be

(34:43):
a lockout more than likely. And I have a feeling
that we could lose baseball next year. And a lot
of people are pointing at the Dodgers, which you can't
because tons of other teams has spent god knows how
much money and haven't won. The fact that the Dodgers
seem to have done better than everybody else, well, that's life, right.

Speaker 17 (35:04):
The owners say they want more competitive balance. I think
it's more about controlling cost. But that's the reason why
they're going for the salary cap, and on the player's side,
the leadership is saying we will not allow a salary cap.
I think yes, a lockout of December first is inevitable.
The question is will we lose games next spring? It
does feel like it's at risk because of the fact

(35:26):
there's no middle ground.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
I think you could see an entire season gone. What
would that do to baseball? It is going to be interesting.
We're talking about later on in the show three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is the X, the instent, all the other things right
here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up an hour
number two talk a little Weed and Texas as they've

(35:48):
you know, now made it so hey, we passed a
bill several years ago about hamp Now we're going to
get rid of a lot of that stuff because we've
decided to pivot for whatever reason, not running at common sense. Plus,
Weed has now done something that I think is shocking
some people on how many people use it. We're gonna
talk a little bit about that more on Iran. Also,
Ariana Grande touched on it yesterday. A lot of talk

(36:12):
about her when it comes to her body and the
thinness of her body. We will discuss that as well.
Reach out to across all of our social media love
hearing from all of you. Our number two straight ahead
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Shocking, shocking. I say marijuana, Uh what the use of marijuana?
It is up in the United States of America at
least in portions. No, it's across the country. It's not
just portions, Chad. Just because it's not legal in some place,

(37:14):
to say Texas again doesn't mean that they're still not
gonna smoke a little weed. You know what I'm saying now.
I just want you guys to know this, all right,
A little refresher on me, Teatoeler. Don't smoke, don't drink,
don't do drugs. Pretty boring. That's why I'm called a teatoller.
In fact, old star, I've never done even anyone. I've
never tasted alcohol. That being said, as adults, I think

(37:39):
you should be allowed to do. What do you want
to do if you're an adult, there's nothing wrong with that.
Am I wrong? And I'm not talking?

Speaker 17 (37:48):
You know?

Speaker 2 (37:49):
This is this here's here's where people will go see you.
So I can just grove some marijuana. I don't care.
What are you gonna do with it? Right? Are you
tell me? Tell me what are you gonna do with it?

Speaker 9 (38:00):
There?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Well, no, I don't care. You're going to just do
myth again? Are you hurting somebody? Is your goal to
grow a whole bunch of marijuana so you can start
a cartel so you can crush everybody's soul and hurt
a bunch of people. Well, that's a different story. That's crime.
But if your goal is to be an adult, right,
if you wanted to start a micro brewery, could you

(38:26):
do it? Well? I guess so if you wanted to
brew some bruskis in your house, if you will in
your garage? Could you what's the difference here? Well, because
this one is bad.

Speaker 18 (38:41):
Well, marijuana has reached a major milestone in America. New
federal data shows daily or nearly daily marijuana use now
surpasses daily cigarette smoking and alcohol use, joining us now
author of the Miracles among Us Fox News senior medical
analyst doctor Mark Siegel, Doctor Siegel, great to see, this
is crazy. More people are smoking marijuana than even drinking

(39:05):
alcohol on a daily basis. Here the numbers twenty one
point four million every day for marijuana, nineteen point nine
for daily cigarette smokers. I wonder if that includes fathing too,
and seventeen point two million daily alcohol users.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Okay, so she broke down the numbers again. You're an adult.
You're an adult and adult. Continue?

Speaker 18 (39:27):
Why is this and does this alarm you?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Because people are shruggling, that's what they want to forget,
what the hell's going on? What life so damn expensive,
Why they don't ever seem to be getting anywhere, whether
it's so freaking stressed out?

Speaker 15 (39:39):
Alarms me big time. This is because a couple of reasons. First,
we've done a good job at letting people know how
bad cigarettes are for the last couple of decades, and
now we're letting them know how dangerous alcohol is. But
we're not letting them know how dangerous cannabis is. At
a time when cannabis which.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
By the way, can we just shut up? They don't
know little reefer madness right, the sticky icky, the wacky tobaccy,
the devils lettuce. They're told all the time, it's the
kwaite drug. First thing you do is to smoke a
little weed. Next thing you know, you're doing heroin and
path things in the park for money. Stop it with that.

(40:21):
We don't buy it. Sorry, I didn't mean to get
in your way of your meandering.

Speaker 15 (40:25):
Antent keeps increasing the amount of THC, the active chemical.
We're downplaying that. We keep talking about medical uses like
for pain, or for insomnia or in anxiety, where not
only doesn't it work well for that, it increases anxiety,
and it increases insomnia, and it makes underlying psychiatric problems worse.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Once again, what study do you think he looked that up? Well?
Do you think maybe he looked that up in a
study where he works for big Pharma? I'm not saying,
does do you think that's a possibility? Do you think
big Farmer wants anything to do with some If today
there was a weed in your backyard and it could

(41:08):
cure everything, you'd be dead in an hour because they're
coming to take it away. Ha hao. I just listening
to this dribble. Oh god. And then again, you're an adult.
You're an adult, an adult. Why can't you as an

(41:31):
adult do things that?

Speaker 15 (41:36):
If?

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Again, it's all it has to do with personal responsibility.
If you want to have a few glasses of wine
at night, and you're not gonna get behind your car
because you're at home relaxing. Who cares if you want
to have a few goomies chill in your house at night.
Who can't? Well, because Chad, you're gonna throw yourself in

(41:58):
a wood chipper, because that's what we do, because it's
an evil thing, evil, evil, so stupid. Well, what do
you know about drugs? You don't do any drugs. You're right.
You want to know what I know about drugs because
I saw my dad do copious amounts of drugs. And
I will tell you when he was smoking weed and

(42:21):
he was ha, he was pleasant, dude. When he was drinking,
he was evil. Okay, would you rather be in a
room full of people that are hammered or high? Will
the smell? Let's just say they all took gummies. Which

(42:42):
one do you think is gonna break out into a brawl?
The other one will be a bunch of people trying
to figure out what they're gonna do to get some
food and who's gonna order and what card they're gonna use.
And some of them may go, hey, we should start
a business. Jeez, Chad. We moved from there two Texas.

(43:03):
As we continue the wandering around of the weed because
now it's illegal again. After they made the hemp right,
they're like, we should totally make hemp legal. Right. So
six years ago they go and they pass something, and
now they're going, we should go backwards now, right, because
this is the oh.

Speaker 9 (43:20):
Man, what's out, boss man?

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Don't hand on one jarge?

Speaker 13 (43:24):
Today they're banned.

Speaker 9 (43:27):
They're banned over.

Speaker 19 (43:28):
At one Stop smoke shop in Dallas, turning customers away
has become a new norm as a statewide ban on
certain hemp derived THHC products became official on Friday.

Speaker 9 (43:39):
A lot of people don't know about it until it
hits man.

Speaker 19 (43:42):
Under the new law, retailers can no longer sell products
containing Delta eight, Delta ten, and other intoxicating hemp compounds.
Owners of businesses that violate this law could face fines
or even jail time. Al Jakari's family owns this shop
along with Lone Star Vapor Smoke and Irving and Irving.

Speaker 9 (44:00):
We had over two hundred and fifty people walk in,
but over half of them we had to send them away.
When we're losing like two thousand dollars a day than
what we usually do. We usually make around you know,
five thousand.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Wow, where do you think they're going? Do you think
it was just like, ah, you know what you guys said,
you don't have any of that stuff anymore. We gotta
go ol.

Speaker 19 (44:21):
Hakari says his family moved to Texas from Alabama about
a year ago, hoping laws would be a little more lax.

Speaker 9 (44:27):
Just disappointed. We thought Texas, you know, is too big
of a state to.

Speaker 19 (44:30):
Ben And now a lawsuit has been filed to try
and block the new law. The Texas Business Council says
it's aware of the lawsuit and says its own legal
challenge is still pending. In a statement, the organization added,
we anticipate additional litigation and we'll continue to monitor developments
while advocating for Texas hemp businesses and consumers.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
It's just you're an adult, right, You're an adult, and
of all places, Texas really, but it's not just there.
I mean I live in a Tennessee that you know,
just just the thought of it, right, makes the the
the people out there butts pucker. In a certain group,
we know who they are, right, they go, they're super
evangelical super judge, and they just it's it's just ridiculous.

(45:18):
I'm about freedom. I don't know about you guys. I
like freedom, I do. I like freedom, and yeah, there's
personal responsibility that comes with freedom, but we are terrified
to allow adults to make decisions for themselves. And it's
and it's always on under what under the guys of well,

(45:41):
if we make it legal, the kids will get it
and they'll start smart. You think they're gonna stop now
do you think they're like, oh my god, we can't
get weed anymore. No, Now, you, as an adult probably
have to go to your kid and go, dude, who
do you buy from jam?

Speaker 19 (45:55):
The Texas Department of State Health Services says it does
not comment on pending with a game. Attorney General Ken
Paxton's office did not respond to our request for comment.
As for al Jakari, he says, if there's no relief soon,
they're businesses may.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Soon go under.

Speaker 9 (46:11):
Honestly, if it keeps going like this, all I'm hoping
for is that you know, they unban their or something happens,
because without the weed, I mean the THHCA, it's really
no point in even staying open. It's not as much
profits as you need to be to you know, pay workers,
to pay everybody. You know.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah, ridiculous, absolutely, And we know that nobody's gonna to
smoke or do anything. We just know that we can
tell so insane, so insane. But Alas, I expect that.
I expect that from from from some states. But Texas, though,

(46:49):
I expect that from you. What you were all about freedom, right,
I thought that's what you were like. We're Texas. We're
all about freedom to a certain extent, like we want them,
but like only the kind of freedom we like. That's
the kind of you know what I'm talking about, the
good old that's that's that's you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 20 (47:11):
Texans used THC to lessen anxiety. Seniors use it to
manage chronic pain, our veterans use it to treat PTSD.
With this ban, we are now making people's lives harder,
not easier. I want to leave you with a quote,
it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of

(47:33):
adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use. That
wasn't a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump. To my
Republican colleagues, I'm asking you to oppose the cartels stand
with President Trump.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
They didn't, So there you go. Just ridiculous. Can we
just all agree, Absolutely ridiculous. And I love how it
is become norm and popular and it has overtaken other
quote unquote vices. And while that's happening, you're running at

(48:11):
something that is less popular. Because, Okay, im pacson of
all people, he always looks high three two three. He
needs to be high, high on life. Okay, Chad, high
on life. That's why he's always looking high. Maybe it's sneaky.
Maybe it always looks s I think you know it better,
yet I'm sorry. It's my bad. He does look high.

(48:32):
He looks sneaky. Jeez, if you miss seeing the show
Sham when you have the podcast Loving from all of you,
relief Factor here's something naturally formulated. Vietnam Vett came up
with it. He's an amazing guy. He's an amazing guy.
You're gonna love this stuff. It fights inflammation from the
inside out. Inflammation's number one reason we have aches and

(48:54):
pains and our bodies and our joints, you know, the
every day aches and pains. When you take relief Factor,
it works for the inside out, which is amazing. So
it doesn't mask the painted it actually is going in
there and fighting that inflammation. So you feel a difference,
not just kind of are able to survive with it.
That's not what it's about. It's about feeling better. Third
party tested, naturally formulated, took a take it every single day,

(49:18):
and yes, the potency and purity it's up there. That's
why they did the third party testing. Try relief Factor now,
three week quick start. You're not going to be disappointed.
It is incredible. Just seventeen seventy six got to reliefactor
dot com and get yours today. That's relief Factor dot
Com called eight hundred and four relief eight hundred the
number four relief for Relief Factor Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Yesterday, the first two people have died from cyclosporiasis. I
hope did I say that. I feel like I say
that thing wrong all the time. I called it Monazuma's revenge,
revenge because that's kind of what it is. But we
had our first two deaths.

Speaker 21 (50:07):
Officials in Michigan reporting two deaths. In both cases, the
patients had significant underlying health conditions that may have been
impacted by cyclostpriasis and dehydration. Nationwide, more than eighteen thousand
people have gotten sick and forty five states.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
This illness is not typically deadly.

Speaker 21 (50:25):
Officials are still investigating any other sources of food that
may have been contaminated.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
That's the thing I'm curious about, is what do we
know about other food? Because it's lettuce okay from Tailor Farms?
Is that it maybe well what does that mean? Well,
it could be I you know, I don't because they're

(50:52):
not really you know, remember when this first happened, they
came and they said, oh, we got it. It's led
us from Taylor Farms and it's Taco Bell and then
then later on that day there, yeah, we don't think
that was it, and then maybe it was, and maybe
it's not. So you're erring on the side of caution
on this, as you should be, as you should be. So,

(51:16):
But to worry about whether or not you're going to
get this and die, that's you don't have to worry
if you're healthy.

Speaker 22 (51:24):
For a hospitalized patient that's been struggling with medical illnesses
for several years, if you add cyclist cyclospariasis as the
fifth or sixth problem on their list. It stands the
reason that there are some patients that might not be
able to withstand the dehydration that can come with severe
cyclist bariasis.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
There you go. It's that simple. If you're healthy, right,
if you are healthy, you're going to be fine. You're
just going to have a cause. It is not pleasant,
It is not I mean I had something similar gas
under itis when I was in the UK, and it

(52:03):
was brutal. I mean it was a hot poker in
my gut and it was you know, it was two
and a half, three weeks of a nightmare. It was awful.
It was so awful. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is your

(52:23):
ex you're Insta, your YouTube and all the other things.
I love hearing from all you right here the Chad
Benson Show. You're not going to die from it though,
if you're healthy, it's not that you have to like
I got a six pack now what. No, it's not
that if this is the fifth or sixth thing that's
attacking your body, that's the issue. Not if well, you
know I could lose a few lbs, well, you're gonna jeez, Chad, Well,

(52:47):
it's true. Meanwhile, it is primary day, especially in Michigan
and outside. Is the one that people are looking at.
Is this guy? It's he gonna make some noise. Is
he going to win? Even if he does win, does
it mean he can win the general? These are all
questions that will be answered sooner rather than later.

Speaker 11 (53:07):
El Sayid is running on a platform that includes medicare
for all and abolishing ice. He's been endorsed by Bernie
Sanders and Alexandria Acossio Cortes. El Sayed has been the
target of attacks not just from Republicans but from establishment
Democrats too. That establishment, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, is lining up behind Stevens

(53:29):
Commies everywhere.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Do I think the commies are going to take over America?
I don't. Do I think there's a bunch of bad
ideas out there. Yes. Do I think they're running on
frustration and anger that both parties have let a bunch
of people down? Yes? Do I think there are people
out there who believe all that these people are spouting, Yeah,
there are some of those those are called useful idiots.

(53:52):
But until I see this in a general election where
they actually say we want this person who wants to
get rid of all of this stuff and we want
that person to run everything and the government to take
everything over. Until I actually see that happening, No, but
it's a good way to scare people, and they're hurting
their own party. So if you're the Republicans, this is

(54:13):
when you're okay, just do you want to open your
mouth say something? Don't. Chad Benson Show, then Chad.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Yesterday we talked about Ariana Ronde, the singer. None of
you guys have seen her. Fans are worried she's super thin,
and we were talking about this. I got several people go,
you know, a few people go, why you focus on
stuff that matters because we're talking about life, okay, and
this is a life thing. I've got daughters, right, and
and I look at Ariana Grande like you look at

(55:06):
somebody like a Britney spears, right, like somebody who's living
their life in front of the camera. It's given her
a lot of stuff. It's also robbed her of a
lot of stuff. But when we talk about, you know,
for instance, the late great Karen Carpenter, we didn't see

(55:28):
it's spiral out of control. We're getting a first hand
view of somebody who, unfortunately, you know, again, for better
or worse, you make your living. And I want to
say this, and I've said this on numerous occasions, so
right back down. I think she's a most talented woman
in entertainment. I know that sounds weird. Go watch her.

(55:53):
She can act, she can sing. When she does Saturday
at Live, and she does all of her you know,
they'll they'll throw Celine Diana on. She is otherworldly. But yeah,
I mean, you'd be a fool not to notice. If
it adds ten pounds she now weighs eleven. If the

(56:15):
camera adds ten.

Speaker 12 (56:16):
Pounds after seeing her pedals video, oh my god, I
am horrifying.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Oh like, I'm truly concerned.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
There is nothing normal about that, y'all.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
There's nothing normal about that.

Speaker 10 (56:26):
It triggered me.

Speaker 21 (56:27):
I never make an individual's body the center focus of
the commentary.

Speaker 10 (56:34):
I need us to stop commenting on women's bodies.

Speaker 23 (56:37):
Body size is not a great indication of your wellness.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah it is, actually, you know, I mean, we kind
of know, you weigh eight hundred pounds. There's a problem there, right,
you weigh eight pounds and you're an adult. There's a
problem there. And when people look up to you, you know,
and are worried about you, I mean and again, and
do we comment too much? Of course, but we've all

(57:05):
decided the world do we want to live in is
a world of the Internet for the most part. So
because of that, that's going to happen. And so this
video came out, people were very concerned about it, and
there was some stuff inside the video that was rather
awkward as well.

Speaker 24 (57:21):
Look, Ariana Grande is no stranger to the spotlight. She
started as a child star on Nickelodeon, and you know, she,
among many celebrities, have had public comments about their body image.
And this statement, which I want to read you a
little bit more of from her team says that she
looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on
a high note, both healthily and happily. Notice they say

(57:43):
healthily there. Obviously, that is a pointed thing to put
into the statement. They also point you know, let's point
out she's been on tour since June. There are forty
one stops on this tour, a source close to Ariana
Grande telling me tonight, Hollie that you know, she gets
up on that stage night after night and it is

(58:04):
a very very rigorous performance that she is putting on
in these stadiums, and that you know, she really gives
it her all. But her team has not said anything
specifically about her weight. But as you can tell on
social media, it has sparked a massive debate right now
as to how far is too far when it comes

(58:25):
to talking about these celebrities who are in the public eye.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Well, again, you're gonna put yourself in the public eye,
you know. I mean I get called all kinds of
things every single day. I got called yesterday a fat
pig because somebody didn't like what I said. And okay,
I mean, you know that happens. I'm I I deal
with that. I'm That's part of what the business is.

(58:55):
But you can also look at somebody person's you know,
that doesn't look healthy and we're not even talking about
I mean, you've not seen it in the video. I mean,
she we touched on it yesterday here. But also my
local show and Ken, who is my sidekick and he

(59:15):
is a he's our news director. He said, dude, she
can't weigh more than eighty five or ninety pounds. And
she's not a big I mean, she's not big anyways,
but to know that you can see like every bone
in her body and when it comes to talking about bodies,
let's be honest. What she did to Pete Davidson was something.

(59:35):
And you know she's speaking out about this, but you
know people are worried, but it's also, this is what
you've signed up for, whether you like it or not,
it's what you signed up for.

Speaker 25 (59:44):
I think in today's society there's a comfortability that we
shouldn't have at all.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
There's a comfortability that people have.

Speaker 25 (59:54):
Commenting on that that I think is really dangerous, and
I think it's dangerous for all parties involved.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
But you signed up for it. It's just, you know,
it's not your first day on the internet. It's not
it's not your first day on the internet. And she
was supposed to do this big I think it was
a she was gonna be on the West End and
which is Broadway but Britain, and she's canceled that now,

(01:00:25):
and so I mean, it's just it's it's noticeable bowl
to the point where it is. It's you know, it
must be an issue for her because in the video
there is a like a talent scout had written something
down in the video, and one of the things written

(01:00:45):
down that you can plainly see is must lose some
LB's for pounds. So but you're watching it, that's just it.
You've invited us into your life. Who no matter who
it is, right, whether I go do a video, you
do a video, you're putting it out there. You want
people to see it. Some people hope to go viral
all that stuff. When you invite people into your life,

(01:01:08):
there's going to be the good and the bad, and
you've got to be willing to take both. But there's
going to be criticism on all kinds of things. But
at the same time, you have a lot of people
out there that are you know, that are again who
genuinely seem worried. And I just say, you know, look,

(01:01:29):
if we could have saved Karen Carpenter, would anybody have
been for that? So it's just it's an interesting thing.
It is. I mean, and I always go back to
the whole thing with with Britney Spears, right, just the
whole thing with her. If you want to watch a
human being meltdown in front of you. It is It

(01:01:52):
is sassinating, which is sad and fascinating at the same time,
because you're watching a human being who is one day,
for like three weeks, you won't hear a thing because
she's closed her account. And then the next thing you know,
she's on a boat juggling knives and she's naked, and

(01:02:12):
you're like, that's manic right there, So what that is?
People can see it, Kanye. So it's not just when
everybody gets criticized. Everybody absolutely what do you think? Let
me know three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your ex your insta,

(01:02:32):
your YouTube? And all of those are the things I
love hearing from all of you speaking of criticism And
looks this this right here is hilarious and sad. So
kuham maxing, coutermaxing, they may call it. And if you've

(01:02:56):
seen this, this girl, Savannah, she's all over now. She's
trying to be an influencer. She's not a influence, she's
an OnlyFans girl, but she's using politics to try to
get in to getting young men to follow her. And
she sits on a chair right, like like a dude
would sit on a chair and just wide open as

(01:03:17):
the day is long and tight pants or you know,
I mean just not even at this point in time. Again,
it is it's sex sells. We get it. And the
way that she acts is ridiculous. And the stuff that
she says is stupid. There's nothing about it that's you know,
she's supposed to be quote unquote right wing, and and

(01:03:37):
you know she's she's she's nothing, she's scripted. It could
have been anything. She's just trying to get you to
go to her only fans.

Speaker 26 (01:03:46):
You guys, respectfully, stop telling me to close my legs,
like I'm trying to do my part in saving this
country one view at a time. And if I can
use my looks to maximize that, why not, Like beauty
and brains can be utilized at the same time for
the greater good. So just let me be and enjoy
the damn show.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
And again, nothing she says is anything that has like me.
It's it's stupid. It's like libtards are stupid.

Speaker 26 (01:04:20):
So liberal is short for liberate yourself from logic. So
the first thing you need to do is liberate yourself
from any logical thought possible. That's why there's a lot
of women that are normally liberal because they do not
use logic. They naturally gravitate towards being a liberal because
the main thing that you desire as a liberal is
you want other people to do the work and you

(01:04:41):
want the benefits. Again, that's why a lot of women
are liberals. Does this make sense any questions?

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
It's all about the look though, trying to drag you
into it's the same We've talked about this before. Beautiful
people will get more opportunities and better shots at things
that the average person doesn't get. People look to people
who are beautiful as some sort of authority in a

(01:05:10):
lot of ways. It's weird, right, Like you would think
that what just because, but that's that's kind of the
reality of it. And she's using this for her only fans. Again,
we live in this weird world where everybody's worried about
you know, Ariana Grande. I think rightly, you know rightly,
So you're gonna put yourself out there, We're gonna talk
about it. Well, people talk about your looks all the time.

(01:05:34):
The things I get called all the time. It is
what it is right, and the other side of it,
she's using her looks to try to get you to
go to her only fans. And she's doing it.

Speaker 27 (01:05:47):
Where she's quote unquote appealing, right, she's she's, well, I
guess you would be catfishing, but conserve fishing. Where she's
she's trying to get conservative young men to go to
her only fans. And she just sits there just like
she'll put her legs up and just like wide open

(01:06:07):
and again you can't see anything, but there's no nobody
would sit on a chair that way.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
Like that's she'll sit. It's just it's watching it though,
and seeing the color's so hot. I'm like, oh God,
don't be so stupid, So be on the lookout for
that craziness. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is your ex,

(01:06:36):
your Insta, your TikTok is Chad Benson Show seven. I
don't know what it is. I gotta look that up. Also,
the YouTube will be live tonight. Got a couple of
texts here about the weed. Chad. If you don't smoke,
why do you care? As we were talking earlier about
weed and the fact that Texas, But many other states,

(01:06:59):
specially conservaive states, are going overboard on trying to criminalize
it again after loosening up a little bit, even though
Trump has said no, this is stupid because I believe
in freedom, and I believe allowing adults to make adult
decisions for themselves. It's that simple. Got an email from

(01:07:19):
Mark Chadbenson Show at gmail dot com. Chad, I understand adults,
but what about the kids? This will give them more access?
He says some other stuff here too, but on a
different subject. But yeah, yeah, that's right, the kids. Wait

(01:07:39):
a minute, can kids get it now? Well, I mean
they can't.

Speaker 13 (01:07:44):
See.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
The thing is, when we go for the prohibition thing,
what we end up doing is usually clamping down freedoms
on other people who are law abiding citizens who you know,
we just oh, we went this way, now we're gonna
go this day. Now we're going to really clamp down
and it never stops it. It's not going to it's

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
I know he gave you a little urban word in
the last segment, but that was more for the story.
This is one you can use in your every day life,
right as you're out there and you're doing stuff, and
then somebody does something and you're like, I got a
word for this. Now it's time for the urban word
of the day. The young have a vocabulary all their own,

(01:10:28):
and we break it down for you. It's called the
urban word of the day. I love this one. Jenny
gave this Tommy fun ruiner. What You're a fun ruiner
everywhere we go. You ruin the fun everywhere we go.

(01:10:50):
You are critical of everything we say. Something that you
think is on PC you're a fun ruiner. We do
something that should be hilarious and you decide you're not
going to laugh or do anything about it, because why
your goal is simply to be a fun ruiner. Oh yeah,
you don't want to be that fun ruiner? Is your
urban word of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Now you know, Now you do know, my friends, you
do know tonight Michigan speaking of somebody's trying to be
a fun ruler. Right, will the DSA candidate be the
winner tonight or will the regular old Democrat figure out
a way to pull out of victory. These are some
of the things that people are paying attention to, and

(01:11:36):
we talk about it in these races. It's about quality
of candidate. Okay, it's about the quality of candidate. So
primaries will give you the people that are hardcore for politics.
That being said, the general will give you the rest

(01:11:58):
of the public, and the public in many cases go yeah, no,
it's fine for your group, but not for all of us.
Here in this tent three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is
your ex you know, so email the program, Chadminson Show
at gmail dot com. Love hearing from all of you
right here at the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our

(01:12:20):
number three of the program, the WNBA having some issues
because of something. Well, first of all, how many issues
can we talk about did they have? From the Caitlin
Clark issue to Sophie Cunningham coming out and saying something
that of course has has offended their liberal insane sensibility.

(01:12:45):
We will discuss that. Top of that, we'll talk a
little bit about Iran, what's going on there. Buddy Mike
Lyons military anles will join the program as well. Find
out are we our art? We're going to do something
that'll be interesting because who knows if we will or
we won't. And we got your words of wisdom as well.
This is the Chad Benson Check.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Several DSA candidates are scaring the boo out of the
Democrat Party and people ask me, right, you know all
the time, aren't you worried? No, I'm not worried. Good
for them? Are you a socialist? Comment? No, I'm not

(01:13:55):
an idiot. I don't scare easy. But Chad they could
be running every They're not running anything. They're not even
close to running anything. They're not. Look even the ones
Mandani perfect example. That guy is not the average DSA guy. Okay,

(01:14:15):
he's not. He's not Bernie, the crazy old man running around.
He look Bernie for all of the years. And by
the way, Bernie is not as radical as he used
to be. But for all of the years, we haven't

(01:14:36):
become a communist nation. But you don't even understand. No,
here's what you don't understand. First of all, crony capitalism
is frustrating the hell out of a lot of people.
That includes independence and Republicans. Secondly, those independent republicans, while

(01:14:56):
populism sounds exciting, they're not willing to give up their home,
their business. Okay, they're not. So despite what some people
think that this is somehow magically just showed up on
our shores, that is not true. And I am not

(01:15:21):
scared right now. It's a great thing to you know,
I mean, the scaring people. That's that's you know, that's
what you do, right, That's what the Republicans are doing,
run around doing stuff like this, Hey, I need.

Speaker 28 (01:15:31):
Your help up.

Speaker 23 (01:15:32):
People are starting to realize that their lives are actually
than they were two years ago, and with the midterms
coming up, we need to come up with.

Speaker 28 (01:15:40):
Like a democratic scare tactic so that people don't vote
for the Democrats. Okay, how about we just call them communists.
That's genius.

Speaker 23 (01:15:52):
Oh my god, really, thank you. No one's ever called
me that. Give me examples of how we'd use it. Well,
if they say, like healthcare is a humor, right, yeah, communist?
And if they bitch about high gas prices, uh, communist,
And if they complain about grocery prices, communist. And what
about if they say that they don't think kids should
be hungry communist communist communist communist Communist Communist Communist Communist

(01:16:20):
Communist Communist Communist communist communist.

Speaker 28 (01:16:26):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Okay, now they're gonna run around and scream that everybody's
a communists. They might want to pretend they're communist. They're
not communist, They're not hell. China is not even a
real communist nation anymore. They're an authoritarian nation built on capital.

(01:16:51):
Because they knew communism wasn't gonna work. These people LARP
as Marxist revolutionaries all the while they're at I hop right,
they're not out toiling right in their commune helping build
a better society. That ain't happening. But Chad, they're gonna

(01:17:13):
they're what but no, no, And I'm gonna I'm gonna
play you four things that you put your mind at ease. Okay,
we want to make sure that you understand that you
have nothing to fear. Some of the greatest audio several
years old. We've played it on numerous occasions, but I
think we need a refresher in this. Okay, you guys ready,

(01:17:34):
are you ready? Take a deep breath? And this is
the DSA conference. I think it was from Chicago twenty
twenty ish twenty nineteen.

Speaker 29 (01:17:45):
Quick point of privilege, Quick point of personal privilege. Guys,
First of all at James Jackson Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
He him.

Speaker 29 (01:17:51):
I just want to say, can we please keep the
chatter to a minimum. I'm one of the people who's very,
very prone to sensory overload. There's a lot of whispering
and chatter going on. It's making it very difficult for
me to focus. Please can we just I know it's
we're all fresh and ready to go, but can we
please just keep the chatter to a minimum.

Speaker 4 (01:18:07):
It's affecting my ability to focus.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Thank you, Thank you, comrade.

Speaker 26 (01:18:10):
Okay, is there a speaker against name.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
Chapter point of personal privilege?

Speaker 13 (01:18:15):
Yes, please do not use gendered language to address everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
They're not taking anything over, Okay, just I want I
want to ease your monde. Not huge jangle. It's not happening. Okay,
it's not. I I hate to be the common sense
crusader here, but I feel like I have to because
you you should see the emails I get in the

(01:18:44):
text mess. You don't understand, Chad, No, no, settle down right,
And they're mostly from from people who are in a
generation who grew up you know, in the Cold War.
I grew up cold worry I did. But that it's
not right. There's no new Polepod. They would love to
be Polepot until they realized that they couldn't be Polepot,

(01:19:05):
just because I know Polepot didn't do it right. Oh,
for the love of goodness, Oh, they're not done. And
I love how they calling to comrades. Comrades, shut up. Okay.

Speaker 12 (01:19:14):
We have a lot of disabled comrades, and a lot
of those are invisible disability. First of all, in this room,
I see that no one's clapping for me, it could
be because I'm not engaging, but it also is because
everyone's doing this, and that's really important because those loud
bursts of noise, even though this is a noisy space,
when we can do something like reducing that, that's really important.

(01:19:36):
So please don't clap, shoot up these and additionally with
the noise issue, like avoid hissing, avoid waving banners. Right,
you don't know what to do? Show up these, right,
I'm sure there's lots of ways that we can communicate
to each other without needing to rely on something that's
going to hurt somebody else.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Okay, so what he was doing there and I'm gonna
do tonight, I'm gonna do a full dsays insane. So
don't freak out video jets hands all right, let's jest hands.
Oh God, don't be so loud with your jess.

Speaker 13 (01:20:10):
Oh the noise.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
You're not running any It took him twenty minutes to
figure out how to count. They couldn't even get in line.
You're not running anything. You're not the reason. Mundani is
the head of all of this a he's a great
foil for the Republicans. And yes, the Democrats have to

(01:20:32):
fight this and b and this is very important. He's
pretty much the only one that's kind of not an idiot.
That's why Trump likes him, because he is his foil. Oh,
we're not done yet, guys, We're not done. Like I
said tonight, we're gonna do a whole thing on the
old YouTube.

Speaker 12 (01:20:51):
We have quiet rooms that are available. There's a range
of options of these. Right on seven. There's one that
has video but no sound if you still want to
be able to observe the convention, but the sound is
an issue. There's also in Piedmont eight a completely quiet room.
One thing to note there, Please don't go into that
space with anything that's like an aggressive scent, for instance, right,

(01:21:12):
because that's going to be difficult for people.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
How'd you how'd you take them out? How'd you guys
stop them? How'd you stop their advancement? An aggressive scent?

Speaker 15 (01:21:22):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
Yeah, we pulled out some jokarnwar and some axe and
body spray. We turned them back. Do you guys see here?

Speaker 17 (01:21:31):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Everybody taking a deep breath. Alright, it's one of those
things I talk people down off the off the ledge,
right off the ledge. And this is one more for
just laugh.

Speaker 29 (01:21:39):
Bick point of privilege once again. He's back privilege once again.
H James Jackson, Sacramento, Diet say he him. I've already
asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their
comrades who are sensitive to sensory overload, and that goes
double for the heckling and the hissing. It is also
triggering to my anxiety, Like the peacar doesn't isn't just

(01:22:01):
for like, you know, let's keep things sivil or whatever.
It's so that people aren't gonna get triggered and so
that it doesn't affect their performance as a delegate.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Okay, they're not taking over anything. First of all, you
got to say he him those kind of there's no
revolution that's happening with a he him. It's just we're
not you're not gonna get the revolution. What happened? We
had a revolution? He him? Did it? Who? He him?
Who's he him? He's next to she? They and them there.

(01:22:31):
It's not happening. But I do like watching people freak
out about it and the riots trying their hardest. D
I wokeness. It's because the average person, Okay, the average
person goes this is stupid and they move on. That's
that's what happens. They're teaching it in our schools. This
so what by they ignore it by my son goes

(01:22:57):
to school in California, it's he him she They them
tictacular and you know what he says whatever and he said,
moves on. You're not getting him or any of his friends.
Just it's so everybody needs to take it deep deep.
You know, I am not taking this. It's hard to
take something serious when you could be stopped by an

(01:23:18):
aggressive cent Holy LORDI gnole's meanwhile, uh iran. So there's that.
It's pretty much everything you need to know about that.
It's uh. I'm gonna talk to Michael Lions her military
analysts coming up a little bit. It's it's it's it
is what it is. A lot of starts stop. They're

(01:23:41):
not giving in. Didn't expect them to. And I'm gonna
ask you know, Mike this, you know, a what would
you do but be on the political side of stuff,
you know, a loss? That's kind of what it is. Right.
Trump's not looking at this in the military way. He's
looking at this in the the way that a politician

(01:24:02):
would look at keeping their job, which is is there
a better way for me to get out of this
thing where I look like I did. Okay, So we'll
talk to him about that coming up a little bit,
which is you know, because he's gonna give it to
the straight skinny. Plus, I want to ask Hi about robots.

(01:24:25):
You know, we always hear about the drones flying around
and all that kind of stuff, like when are they
gonna get the because I know the Pentagon really wants
to have anthropic in them, kind of give them the aok.
We can turn these drones loose and allow them to
be judged dread, but they're all kind of you know, no, no, no,

(01:24:47):
we don't want that. On the other side of it,
When are the robots coming? Is that? Is that happening soon?
So you gonna have a suit enough to stop the DSA?
No again, what's your robot? It's a cologne robot just
shoots aggressive sense at least people. Oh lordy three two, three, five, three, eight,

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

Speaker 30 (01:26:37):
James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sereno.

Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
What trending?

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Let's find out what's trending on this Shoes Days, shall we.
We'll start with a little yeahoo yeahooooooo iran Ai tokenomics,
and we've talked about this with our buddy Zach Abraham

(01:27:20):
from Borwick. They don't really know what to charge for
certain things because the building side, as they say, is
very messy. And the reality is as they continue to
build out the way that they're hyper scaling, it's just
that you're not going to bill enough to make back
trillions of dollars. Just isn't gonna happen. Ariana Grande, she's

(01:27:43):
talking about taking a break. Obviously, there's a lot of
worry about the fact that she's how should I say this,
A little thin? Trump just shitty bier. I'm sorry, I
have to laugh. Some of you get mad at me.
Why you pick on him? I'm not. It was ridiculous.
Here was you know what, I know it, we all

(01:28:06):
knew it. Over to uh Google Cacle pay Chevron. Trump
is mad at Chevron because they're making billions of dollars
over a war that they start to No, not over
a war. They started Dodgers Cubs protest. Scott Eastwood apparently

(01:28:27):
he had an issue with some stars. He's letting him
be known some of the stuff that he had issues with. Mmmm,
I did he did? He did? That's is that a night?
I gotta screw that one up, and for that, I apologize.
Don't want you get mad at me, yell at me
and stuff. She's very nice looking, by the way, she's

(01:28:49):
She's a wonder woman. That is it, Gigi, right, I know,
I don't know. Confusion. I'm not good. It's star stuff.
As you guys could tell. I'm great at weird pop culture,
but not regular pop culture. Judge Janine. All these things
trending and more right here on the Chad Benson Show,

(01:29:10):
Martha Reeves and the anthem from the World Women's Baseball
Professional League or whatever. Whether my god, that was awful. Yeah,
if you guys haven't seen it, Nick Shirley trending as well.
Iran So the Women's Professional Baseball League kicked off over

(01:29:31):
the weekend, and Martha Reeves, the Great Martha Reeves eighty
five years young. They got her to sing the national anthem,
and I say the word sing because somebody should have said, hey,
we'd really like you to sing the national anthem, and
somebody on our team should have said no, no, oh,
can you see? Doesn't get any better from her? At

(01:29:57):
no time? Are they ever in unisons? Why? What was
so proud?

Speaker 17 (01:30:04):
We?

Speaker 31 (01:30:07):
Why less?

Speaker 9 (01:30:09):
Leave me?

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
Oh, it's just it's it's it's a tough listen and
goes back to first of all, why are there three
of you singing? There's no music? This could have been
done better, And the only thing anybody's talking about is
not the Women's vaginal Baseball League, it's how bad the
anthem was. And essentially this was not a good way

(01:30:34):
to start your league. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex,
your Insta, your YouTube and all of the other good
things coming up? A good buddy, Mike Clions, military analyst
joins the program. Lots to talk about. We will discuss that,
including what's going on with Russia and Ukraine, among other things.
Chad Benson, Chubb.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
That time of the week, we talk to the man,
the myth, the legend. As I'd like to say, the
best day of military analysts in the business tried major
from the army. Mike Lyons joins the program. All Right,
first and foremost, Mike, we got to start, obviously with
the what's going on in Iran because I don't think
anybody believes anymore. I don't think the Iranians believe when
Trump says We're gonna destroy you, We're gonna blow everything up,

(01:31:45):
it's coming today. Well, no, it's not. It's I feel
like at this point in time, they go, yeah, we're
not buying that anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:31:53):
Yeah, it's it's a little research on his fourth time
in one hundred and fifty seven days that he's described
these negotiations as the last opportunity April. He's done it
with Islamba Blad, he did it, you know before the
MoU and yeah, last chance. So what does that, What
does that really mean? I just don't know. In the military,

(01:32:13):
I know, you know, uses this opportunity to go back
and reset. But the whip song is definitely concerning. It's
definitely has a lot of challenges to to what there's
what's going on right now, so you know, again we'll
see what happens. But but we've moved a couple more
destroyers too that I think they're more for air defense.
But you know, the militaries were ready to go.

Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
You know, one of the things I've been telling everybody
is we're focusing on things that Okay, how does this
affect us? Obviously what came over the weekend was the
likes of MBS and several others in the region going, look,
we no longer believe that you're going to be able
to protect us. And they're not saying they're coming after you.
They're saying they're coming after us. And that seemed to

(01:32:53):
be something where you know, there's a lot of frustration
over there Jordan. Last week they were they're like, you
need to pick the Americans out. There's a lot of
frustration growing over there, like we started something kicked up
a hornet's nest, and we don't seem to be cleaning
it up.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
Yeah, it doesn't have this kind of NATO feel to
it like it should be with these Gulf states being allies.
I think something that's really no one's talking about. As
you saw Ron and Oman try to negotiate their own,
straight up our most deal and access arrangements without Washington
getting involved. And you know, I saw the reports that
the President shut that down, but it just tells you

(01:33:28):
that the Gulf States are really willing to cut these
separate deals with Iran to get their shipping back. I mean,
we've seen that in the past, right they all, you know,
they want to go their own way. If Trump let
them do that. Now you've got a bilateral arrangement giving
Iran and Armand's literally recognized straight management authority. So that's
not going to work from Washington's perspective. But to your point,

(01:33:50):
if we don't move this thing forward and start seeing
some real results, then they're going to continue to do this.
It's Iran's plan has always been just that peel off
these Gulf States from the United States, get them concerned
about it. Now I think that that's starting to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
You know, I watched this all breakdown, and I covered
from the from the political side. You're the military guy,
but from the political side of stuff. You know, it's
not whether or not we could win a war, it's
what are we willing to sacrifice? Those kind of things
we could talk about We could absolutely politically, though, I
don't think there's a political move right now here for
Trump where he gets a win. And I think what
you've talked about for months is this is going to

(01:34:26):
be start stop, start stop all the way through the summer,
probably into the new year, because I don't know if
he's waiting to see what really happens in the midterms
or but at some point in time, you think something's
got to give, and that probably includes the price of
oil where we're no longer going to throw money at
it to probably keep the price down.

Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
Yeah, you know, I saw Chris Christian I'm can get
a little political laying here. He did make a comment
that by if this thing keeps up, by the time
the midterms come around, nobody will be wanting to, you know,
get Trump anywhere near their election campaign. Again, you just
look at what the military can do. The airpower can
do only so much. I'm now concerned. I've read a
report this morning about attack them. So that's the offensive

(01:35:09):
long range military missile capability that it looks like that
we've got some serious shortages going on there because of
what happened of what we gave in Ukraine. Again, very
important for them. But you combine that with the THAD
missile system that's that high altitude air defense system, and
then with the Patriot missiles, and that's front front center.

(01:35:29):
Right now, it's starting to be clear that the United
States has real logistics problems with these canisters and with
this capability, and everybody's saying, and if we do something
with China, we just won't be able to make it.
So the waterfall is starting to move in a direction
that we might not be able to control the distance
very much longer.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
We have the offensive capability, right, but you're talking about
the defensive side of stuff, which is really what the
golf neighbors are all concerned about as well as our military.
But that's the defense side that we're lacking at this moment.

Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
Yeah, you know, I know we're not going into a
lot of detail on that, but we talked about how
air defense systems are in different layers, in different sections,
and they start at high altitude where where the muscles
are moving front kind of quickly to Patriots are kind
of close to, and that's the THAD. Then the Patriots
are closer, and then you get closer and closer, and

(01:36:23):
they're in kind of belts or think about them as
circles or whatever and bubbles with regard to that. But
if those if there's breakdown within those systems, then you
just don't have the kind of defenses that make sense
that are going to cause the casualties that the Iranian
missiles get through. And that's that's what we're missing right now.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
Talking to Mike Lines or military ols, we talk about
all the things going on globally, what's China thinking of this?
I mean, because obviously they're paying close attention and watching
us exhaust ourselves and the start stop situation over here.
What are they thinking?

Speaker 4 (01:36:57):
Well, what's China's end goal? Is it Timeaiwan? Because if
that's it, then the United States is going to let
China have it anyway. So I you know what, I
don't even know what does a war look like with China.
You know you're talking about we have got this. You know,
I'm an army guy, right, so we've got ground to
take in Ukraine. That's claire as day to me. We're

(01:37:18):
seeing in Iran the effects of an air campaign and
again lulled ourselves into this sense of thinking that that
will solve all the problems. But how are we having
a war with China? Like, what does that kind of
look like? And if it's just Taiwan, then I think
we're gonna let them have it anyway. So in some
ways that's kind of in the back of the Pentagon

(01:37:40):
planner's minds. You know, a war with China starts in Taiwan,
but would rev up a couple of years before you'd
see maybe the island hopping strategy that took place during
World War Two, and we would have years to crank
up for that. So I think that's kind of why
we're just projecting to turns they but not really necessarily saying, eh,

(01:38:02):
you know, there's it's really not an immediate threat right now.
They take Taiwan, let's say, right, but now are they
going to threaten in Japan? Are they gonna ch threaten
South Korea, Australia? You know, that now becomes World War
three for all practical purposes. But again, if it's Taiwan,
the United States is going to say we're going to
take a pass.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
Are we just trying to buy time there so we
can get chips spread out around the globe so there's
no worry about a chip shortage that they could dominate.
Is that kind of what we're doing at this point
in time.

Speaker 4 (01:38:29):
Oh, that's exactly right. And it's happening in Texas right now.
I've been there. They're building foundries. Texas Instruments companies are
building foundries as fast as they can because, you know,
similar to the Middle East back in the nineties, the
second that Taiwan is no more this reliance on chips
where we're getting and things of that nature, and the

(01:38:52):
rare earth minerals we know we've we've sourced from some
other places. You know, Taiwan just becomes another vendor that
sells them, which is makes them not not that important.
So that's that's really what's what's happening there, and that's
why we're moving so faut to do this.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
All right now, we talk about something that we talk
about but I don't hear a lot of other people.
Ukraine is getting hot, it's getting heavy, it's getting I mean,
this is this has been going on because you and
I talked about the amount of death that is happening
with the Russian soldiers is as you said, you can't
sustain that and think that you're going to win this.
But they've bombed a ton of gas stations today. Russia

(01:39:28):
did there's a chance, you know, Iran is you know
in Ukraine is there are they going to start throwing down?
I mean, this is crazy chaos that's going on. Break
it down for us.

Speaker 4 (01:39:39):
Yeah, okay, so let's still get the numbers. First, forty
two thousand Russian losses recorded in July. That's you know,
the hot that's the highest per month right now, and
it looks like that record keeps getting broken month after
a month. I mean, yeah, you know, think about that,
that kind of attrition rate, it's just completely unsustainable without
without on Russia side, a major description and mobilization that

(01:40:02):
has that those political aspects of it. So that that
alone from you know, from a military perspective, is incredible.
And thinking about that forty two thousand losses, you know,
over thousand a day. I mean, we're concerned when we
lose two soldiers on a fight and they're losing you know,
fifteen hundred a day. It's just again mind boggling on
some level. And then think about how they're dying by

(01:40:23):
drones and by it's not it's it's not you know,
five thousand at a time with these large scale of
the sacks. It's getting pinpricked one at a time by
these very specific drone technology that Ukraine has done so
so that's pretty amazing. But then flip flip it. On
the other hand, Russia did fire about I guess about
two hundred drones. They're doing about that at night still
in the south and in the southern region there in

(01:40:44):
the Dunsk and Zepparizia area. There, it's just an absolute
no man's land.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
The drone technology that obviously Ukraine has, you know, spearheaded
here that is I mean what what what not only damage,
but what on the defensive side, because that's the thing
they're worried about as well, is like, yeah, they've got
great with the offense and they can go thinks, you know,
take things forward and they can try to kill as
many as possible, which they are, but there's still the

(01:41:10):
defensive side of stuff. What is being used drone wise
for that at all?

Speaker 4 (01:41:15):
Yeah, I guess some of these unmanned surface vessels, right,
I mean they're using them to rescue, they're using them there.
They're just they've got so much capability and they've been
till creative. But on the defensive side. They use them
to tie information together with the intel that they collect
a little more difficult in terms of having them act

(01:41:38):
on their own. The aerial drones and what they can release,
they're kind of fire and forget right. They send them
down range, they loiter and they're smart enough to look
at their own targets. They pick a target and they're
off on the defensive side. A little bit different. They
have to deploy them back again, use them in a
more of a manner where it allows them to make
up for man fall shortages in a lot of ways.

(01:41:59):
They're these unmanned we'll call them surface vehicles. You know,
they're they're large and look like tanks. They have no
people at them, but but they but they can perform
things and go places where you know a normal person
can't go.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
Do you think I mean again, it's fascinating. We've been
talking about this for what two years now three years,
all the drone technology and watching this thing happen. That's
the future. The future is now. Yeah, how close? Until
you know, there's the worry man that we're going to
get these you know, these these things are going to
make snap decisions and they're going to follow their people everywhere,
and they're going to make decisions right then and there

(01:42:34):
and who to kill and who not to kill. We're
not quite there yet, but we can't be that far
away from it.

Speaker 4 (01:42:41):
Yeah, that's starling. Whatever they are that that's Onald Schwarzeneger
movies is exactly what we're going to them. And we
don't have the necessarily the kind of robots that are made,
but we put weapons in their hands on the on
the ground side. But it's sure taking place in the air.
And again it gets back to the capability and what
they're seeing and who the AI that's inside the drone

(01:43:02):
that's deciding what's a good target, what's not a good target,
And it's it absolutely is getting to the point where
if a country feels that it's going to use that
as a competitive advantage, well they're going to do it.
And I think Ukraine's getting pretty close to that spot
given the fact that you know they're they're one fourth
the size of Russia when it comes to people, and

(01:43:23):
they're doing everything to survive. And it just goes to
show you the outsize intelligence and creativity that the Ukrainians
have in order to try to survive.

Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
When do we get the robots on the ground, how colo,
because China is the one thing I'll say, we are
so far behind China when it comes to actual robots.

Speaker 4 (01:43:39):
Yeah, when's that the The thing about the robots though,
that from a military perspective, we can develop systems, high
energy systems that can kind of blow them away and
without you know, recourse on some level. And I think
I think that's probably what's in the back of Pentagon
planners minds or the futurists are saying that, yeah, you could,

(01:44:00):
you're gonna have to deploy a number that's so big
that you'll have no tactical surprise over it. Right, So
you know, normal formations and units, let's say in company
sized levels, you know, one hundred and twenty people or so,
and then even even at the large level of a
brigade of twenty five hundred of men, women and whatever

(01:44:21):
that in a military formation that doesn't they could do
a lot of damage with tanks and everything, but you're
going to need ten thousand robots to do this kind
of the same thing. You got to scale that at
four and five times. And I think that's that's a
lot different because that that as again you've seen in
movies like that. You know, it becomes throws and throws
the first waves at something where you're just hoping OtherSide

(01:44:41):
runs out of AMMO at that point. So that's kind
of the futuristic side of that that you have to
kind of consider when you're when you go to when
you go to that spot. But a great, great conversation to.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
Have, So give us a snapshot a week from now,
we talk what do you think happens to me now
in next Tuesday. But you know, especially in the Middle East.

Speaker 4 (01:45:00):
Well again, from if I'm the military advisor to President Trump,
I walk in and say, Sir, at this point, we
need to start a thirty day air campaign that is
going to do this, this, and this. We're going to
completely decapitate any I er GC capability that from a
leadership perspective, start to take out some infrastructure, start to

(01:45:20):
take out some areas that we know that will generate
revenue for the Iranians, and tell them this time, we're
not stopping until thirty days is over unless you decide
to uniratally surrender between now and then. That would be
my advice to him.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):

Speaker 2 (01:47:37):
As we wrap it up on this Tuesday, you know
we should do we got it. We always got to
leave it on a good right. We have to leave
it on a good and little words of wisdom from
our buddy Rodney.

Speaker 13 (01:47:46):
You see, you gotta find your own stuff to do
because everybody else is doing their stuff. I mean, if
you want to do the same stuff that they're doing,
and we're all doing the same stuff. Then then we're
all just and then we're not getting anything accomplished because
we're all just doing the same stuffs. Do stuff getting
done is the same stuff as everyone else doing the trickers.
You got to come up with your own stuff, and

(01:48:08):
then if you come up with new stuff then nobody's
ever thought of doing.

Speaker 31 (01:48:12):
Then you're making it better because then you're kind of
a new stuff for other people. But also get involved
in doing stuff. So I hope that you're wandering around
this world thing the stuff to do, hope you can
come up with some cool fun stuff, because then you
make all the era everybody else's stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:48:38):
More fun. Okay, I have a suffering Nae day and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
Okay, body there, you go do your own stuff. I
think it's the best thing that we can do is
our own stuff. Let me know what you think. Love
hearing from you right here on the Chat Benson Show.
Another solid fun so big one tonight. Obviously on the
political side midterms Michigan, everybody's going to be, you know,

(01:49:07):
watching al sai ed Willie won't he I think he will.
But it's going to be interesting because this battle of
