Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Oh but Big Jay, Old Bad, Old Bad, It's gonna happen.
It's a Russian anthem. If you don't know what will happen,
how will this play out? Oh my lord, I have

(00:45):
no idea, And it's a feeling out process. Think of
it as a boxing match. I was telling somebody yesterday,
you're probably not. Yeah, you're not looking for a first
round knockout, right, because both of you figure you can,
you can, you can knock each other. They're out, So
you're gonna be cautious. But it's also weird because it's
more of a sparring session because these two guys, don't

(01:07):
it war. Oh yeah, that's weird. And whatever happens today,
I take everything with a grain of salt. Things could
go well today and end up being pissed. Poor. Things
could look like it's going to go south and be
fine in a few days, as fine as you can get.
What's interesting is the the anger that Democrats have towards Trump,

(01:32):
welcoming the pooter and and talking it's it's it's fascinating
because Biden's his his go to was, well, well, we'll
give a whole bunch of money Via weapons and whatnot
to the Ukrainians. Uh that was after remember he told
Zelensky to leave like the first weekend. But and then

(01:56):
we'll just put some sanctions on and we'll ignore Putin
and not try to go to the guy that this
is about.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, the first thing that's happening here is the welcoming
of Putin back into the order of major mainstream nations.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
He is visiting the United States.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's Chris Murphy. He's a clown. He wants to be president.
I think Chris. He's got nuclear weapons, bro, and he's
at war and it's costing US hundreds of millions of
dollars for us to supply a ragtag group that is
left in Ukraine. So who else are you going to

(02:35):
welcome that's going to be a part of this that
can get this did just curious.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
First time since he became a war criminal, he's standing
with the most powerful person in the world. And it
is a sign from Donald Trump essentially that all is forgiven.
And so this is a big moment for Putin because
he essentially is being legitimized in the eyes of the
United States and in the eyes of the world.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
What does that mean legitimized. Dude's the ruler of the
nation with the most nuclear devices. That's pretty legitimate. We
don't have to recognize him here in America as their

(03:24):
supreme leader there. You know they're head honcho, right, you
know have fe We don't. He is those things to
those people. He's the guy running the damn thing and
your guy win in charge. It happened under his watch,
and he didn't do a damn thing when it came
to let's go sit down and try to do this.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
We know there's not going to be any major piece
deal here, largely because one of the parties to the
war isn't at the table. You can't sign a peace
agreement if Selenski isn't there, and so there's not going
to be any breakthrough. And my worry is that, well,
the photo op in and of itself, essentially legitimizes war crimes,

(04:09):
telegraphs to other autocrats or evil men around the world
that they can get away with murdering civilians and still
get a photo op with the president of the United States.
It could get worse because if there is no agreement,
if Putin thumbs his nose at Trump and then Trump
does not follow through with more weapons for Ukraine or

(04:31):
with any sanctions, then it's essentially the final green light
to putin that he is going to be.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
A senators.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
At least Joe was trying to get that. What's your solution?
Just continue to fund the slaughter of the Ukrainian people
as well as many Russians who don't want any part
of this. But because they happen to be outside their
Starbucks or whatever they call it over there and a
van came up and said, hey, guess what, you're going
to war. What's your solution? You don't have any therein

(05:07):
lies the problem, and no, it's not going to get
fixed today. It isn't never was going to even if
Zelensky came there and they agreed on something. The reality
of this is it has to because according to their constitution,

(05:31):
there has to be a referendum to get this done.
So this is according to their constitution. So even if
he was there today, they could get a ceasefire on
their way to something, but before anything could actually get done,
they have to And so this is their constitution. You

(05:51):
uncancellable Ukraine territory Article two. And this is from their
constitution nineteen ninety six, It talks about their territorial land,
et cetera, et cetera. The integral regions remain part of
the Ukrainian country, and it goes on and talks about
the regions and whatnot, and talks about then the people's

(06:12):
ownership over the land and resources, which is also in
Article thirteen. So to do this you have to do
a few things. First of all, constitutional amendment. According to
Article nine, any international treaty or agreement that contradicts the
Constitution must be preceded by relevant amendments to the Constitution itself.

(06:34):
Referendum mandatory for territorial changes. So under the Ukrainian law,
any change to the country's territory must be approved in
a national referendum held across the full constitutional territory of Ukraine.
So they have to hold a referendum even in the

(06:56):
regions currently under occupation, Premia, donbas, et cetera. So it's
not as easy as that. Oh well, they didn't get
something done today. I don't expect them to ceasefire is
what they're hoping for, so they can move on to this,
which sounds like it's gonna take a bit, is what
I'm trying to say. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,

(07:18):
twenty four to twenty three at Shed Benson Shows Your
Extra Insta. Meanwhile, yesterday Gavin Newsom says I got a
fix for Texas and their jerry mandry. We're going to
do it too. What Yeah, we're gonna do it too.
You knew they were.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
We're here because Donald Trump on January sixth, try to
light democracy on fire, try to wreck this.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, then I'm going to stop this. We'll go back
to in a second stop with the January sixth stop.
How long are you going to play that out? Honestly?
How long are you going to play that out? I mean,
if we're always going to do this, do we now
get to go? Hey, what about the fact that everybody
knew the Russia hoax was BS and now that they've
released a lot of stuff it was, it's put in

(08:01):
clear light. You guys, the Democrats screwed the pooch if
you will, and definitely did everything you could to weaken
his presidency.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
And you did.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
You did.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
You impeached him over something that was BS, and a
senator in your state leaked the information, according to a whistleblower,
not been verified by independent news sources, but come on,
what is going back to January sixth? Get over it.

(08:41):
I'm sorry, Gavin, I didn't mean to intro interrupt you.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
We're here because Donald Trump on January sixth tried to
light democracy on fire, tried to wreck this country, tried
to steal an election, as Alex just said, by trying
to dial in for eleven almost twelve thousand votes. And
here we are an open and playing sight before one
vote is cast in the twenty twenty six midterm election.

(09:07):
And here he is once again trying to rig the system.
He doesn't play by a different set of rules, he
doesn't believe in the rules. And as a consequence, we
need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done.
It's not good enough to just hold hands, have a
candlelight vigil and talk about the way the world should be.

(09:28):
We have got to recognize the cards that have been dealt,
and we have got to meet fire with fire, and
we've got to be held with a higher level accountability.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
So much like Texas, we've decided we're going to do
the exact same thing and make sure that we take
away the people's right to have a voice, well Chad's
and again redistricting. Gerrymandering depends on who's doing it. If
you're redrawing it, you're redistricting. If you're the side that

(09:59):
is not a power, they're gerrymandering. And that's what he's
going to do. And we've pointed this out. It's never
been more clear than it is now. How broke ass
the system is where you've got states with virtually no
representation of Democrats or Republicans, even though thirty forty percent

(10:21):
of the state voted for a Democrat or Republican, and
that is absolute hogwash. I was gonna say something else,
but I wouldn't have reached my beeper on time, and
that would not have been cut. It wouldn't have three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's show,

(10:42):
is your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook? It's some YouTube
in last night, it's funny.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
I was, uh.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
I get a lot of pushback because you know, we
talked about Israel, and the pushback is hilarious by some
of the people, and the and the anger that I
get is it's funny, and it's kind of sad. It
is because nobody understands Nuance. Nobody wants to have a
conversation about anything real. It's just easier to pick aside

(11:18):
and run with the you hate this or you hate that.
Have a conversation, find out where I'm coming from, because
I've been on that side where you are, and realize
so much of what we're being told is absolute BS

three at chepens and shows your extra instant let me

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It is that time of the week where we have
some fun. These are stories we didn't get to this
week because so many other things going on, So we
call it the Wheel. Surprise read the stories to listen
to the audio. Have done all these kind of things,
but I have no idea where they are in my soundboard,
so they're not They're just numbered one two three for
story one, one two three for story two kind of thing.

(18:26):
I don't know what it is. It's going to be
a surprise to you, surprise to me. We spind the wheel,
find out what happens. Let's do it for round and rounds.
She goes where she stops, nobody knows number number two.

Speaker 19 (18:44):
For over fifty years, Cracker Barrel has been serving up
a slice of Rostic country to suburbia.

Speaker 20 (18:50):
Homestyle cooking brings family together.

Speaker 19 (18:54):
Between the rocking chairs, the old tiny gift shop in
those biscuits and gravy. Southern comfort has always been on
the menu.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Harry, Cracker Barrel, old country store.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Can we keep bar routine so you can get out
of yours?

Speaker 19 (19:08):
But a new change to that nostalgic routine is stirring
the pot.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Or look around, Wow, look how right it is.

Speaker 19 (19:14):
Our selection number of stores undergoing a redesign for a
more modern field.

Speaker 21 (19:19):
We've got all new lighting, new seating, new tables and chairs.

Speaker 19 (19:22):
This video is from a Tennessee location posted last August,
just now going viral. While some are embracing the change
with the.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Pine colors just so much louder and I think it's.

Speaker 19 (19:33):
So much better, others argue the remodel chips away at
that southern charm, but the.

Speaker 22 (19:38):
Inside remodel Cracker Barrel, for real, you're losing your feel.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Absolutely. I love the Cracker Barrel. I do. When we
lived out in the valley, there are people we had
one right near us, and we would go there, you know,
a couple times a month for dinner or breakfast usually,
and the store is incredible. It's always fun to go
in the store. But the whole thing about the Cracker Barrel,
it was a Southern kind of charm and this looks

(20:06):
like it's kind of a sterile eye Hoop wasn't a
fan of it. Now I'm sorry.

Speaker 19 (20:12):
Well, Cracker Barrel is dead. Only about thirty of it's
six hundred plus restaurants will get a full remodel. In
a statement, the chain says feedback from both guests and
team members has been overwhelmingly positive, adding the strong performance
of these locations of firms that we are moving in
the right direction. In an interview last summer, Cracker barrels
CEO telling CNBC the transformation is part of a multi

(20:35):
year brand refresh.

Speaker 12 (20:36):
Our goal is to take what people love about Cracker
Barrel and open the aperture a little bit so that
more people love Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
So we want to appeal to all generations.

Speaker 19 (20:45):
Cooking up a new look is all the rage. Denny's, Popeye's,
Burger King all getting modern makeovers with sleek exteriors, brighter
dining rooms, and high tech features like these self service
kiosks and Burger King's newly remodeled Sizzles stores.

Speaker 23 (21:00):
You don't want to eat somewhere where the carpet is
from the nineteen eighties. The look and feel of a
restaurant because the customers are spending money going there is vital.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yes, But part of the fun of Cracker Barrel and
if you guys been to a Cracker Barrel, it's got
the hardwood floors and stuff. That's part of the fun
is you feel like you're in an old Southern kind
of general store from the time of the Waltons or
something that was kind of the charm of it. And
of course you can't touch the store because as much

(21:32):
as the food and stuff is I love it. I
love especially the breakfast. As much as that is enjoyable,
it's the store.

Speaker 19 (21:41):
Across the country, restaurant chains have been struggling, with Hooters,
TGI Fridays, and Bread Lobster all filing for bankruptcy in
the past year. A recent survey also found nearly seventy
percent of consumers say they're eating it home more often.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
So we have all of our great decre here.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
Well.

Speaker 19 (21:58):
Cracker Barrels has a refreshed look. Industry experts day it's
a gamble catering to changing appetites without leaving a bad
taste in the mouths of loyal customers.

Speaker 14 (22:07):
I love to go somewhere where the food is good,
but the atmosphere has to be good too, because I
don't want to eat somewhere more.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Now.

Speaker 24 (22:15):
In a statement, Cracker Barrel says, there are hundreds of
restaurants in their chains, and there's over six hundred chains
across the country, hundreds that will not get a full makeover.
But it is still unclear what their multi year plan
will fully look like.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
And if you're going to change something a Burger King,
you could change right Burger King. It's I expect fast
food to modernize and change. You can modernize in a
certain way without having to change, and I love change.
I love modernizing, but there are all certain things that
you go to, you know, because there's that atmosphere. We'll

(22:52):
see how this works out. I think if it works
out really well, don't be surprised if they change it elsewhere.
If it doesn't, don't be surprised if they go back
to it. We're doing the weird of surprise. We spin

(23:13):
the wheel where it stops, We do not know.

Speaker 25 (23:15):
Number eight the Minnesota Vikings getting ready to tackle their
rivals as the NFL season approaches, but the team now
playing defense after announcing two new members of its cheerleading
squad are men Blaze and Louis earning spots after a

(23:36):
rigorous audition process.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
I went to a lot of Vikings games with my family,
Mainly my dad.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Was definitely watching the chelaers.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
Thinking like, hey, I wish I could do that, being.

Speaker 26 (23:44):
That role model for other little kids who don't know
that this is an option.

Speaker 25 (23:48):
But the inclusion of the two men on the thirty
five person cheer roster has some calling to boycott the team,
with replies to the Vikings Instagram post reading I'm not
a Viking fan no more and I just lost all
my respect for the Vikings.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Now I'm gonna say this, Okay, know your audience. And
the reason I say that is because are there men
in cheer These are cheer leaders. These are not the
dudes you see on the sideline who throw the girls
twenty feet in the air kind of thing. These guys

(24:23):
are absolute. They're cheer leaders. And that goes back to
knowing your audience and understanding that. And I saw yesterday
they were trending and everybody's like, oh, you know, first
of all, I don't do boycotts. It's not my thing.
Some people do, some people don't. You know whatever. But
the this was one of those things where I'm like,

(24:44):
this is just big swing and miss. It's a big
swing and miss. Sorry. It has nothing to do with them,
you know, it's and by the way, they both look
like it's a caricature of gay men. They do they
and that's not you know, when you go to you know,
a college football game, those guys they're yokes.

Speaker 27 (25:05):
Right.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
They're throwing the girls in the air and they're catching
or doing all that kind of stuff. That's a different
that's a stunt team. They're doing flips across the field,
and that's a stunt team. These guys are pomp pom waivers.

Speaker 25 (25:19):
Across social media, far right accounts latching onto the backlash,
and even a former player, blatantly hateful Antonio Brown, currently
wanted by police for attempted murder, which he denies, calling
Blaze a homophobic slur. Plenty of others defending the cheerleaders,
writing they were incredible and deserve their spot as a

(25:40):
part of the squad. The vikings, telling NBC News so
far no fans have canceled their season tickets, and writing
quote male cheerleaders have been part of previous vikings teams
and have long been associated with.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Collegiate and professional cheerleading.

Speaker 25 (25:56):
We support all of our cheerleaders and are proud of
the role they play as ambassadors of the organization. Efforts
to reach the two male cheerleaders for comment were unsuccessful.
Of course, cheerleading men is nothing new. There have been
countless parodies like this classic Will Ferrell snel Ski Bring
It Out, or the iconic teen drama Bring It On.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Are not spirit fingers. These are spirit fingers. And I
will tell you the joke about the spirit fingers and
the Will Ferrell that's what they are. They're a caricature
of it. And you go back Yeather, you know the
presidents of you know of Yesteryear and stuff. They're at

(26:40):
Yale and Harvard and they got their sweaters on in
the women where I mean it's it's they've got the
that thing they cheer into the big cone. It's come on.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
No.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
This is something that I sat there and I thought,
this is swinging a miss right know your audience, and
this is something where I'm like, the backlash is going
to be huge, And again I don't begrudge them. There's
a difference between the stunt team and the guys that
you know, usually those A buddy of mine who is

(27:12):
to work with eused to me a producer oute in
Arizona who just by the way, got engage Congratulations. He
was not a cheerlead, was on a stunt team. So
they would he would do like fifty flips in a
row and round off back handstring and all these kind
of stuff. And he was yoked and and you know
that's not a pom pom. And these guys are pomp pomps.

(27:34):
They are. They are absolutely this is the weird little
surprise we spend the whyem Wow, she stops. Nobody knows
we've done. Cracker Barrel Minnesota Viking male cheerleaders. Now we're
on the number ten.

Speaker 26 (27:54):
A new controversial law in a New Jersey suburb will
now put parents in jail for their children behavior. It's
called the Miners in Parent Responsibility Act. The ordinance is
the result of a massive brawl last year among roughly
five hundred teens during a drone show.

Speaker 28 (28:11):
Keep your children in control or face the consequences. That's
ultimately the message from one township in New Jersey, Gloucester
Gloucester Township in southern New Jersey, parents if they don't
prevent their kids from breaking the law, they could essentially
face fines up to two thousand dollars and jail time
up to ninety days in jail. Some parents are outraged

(28:34):
to say this, that's a dangerous precedent. You know, thanks
to cell phones and YouTube, we're seeing more scenes like this.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Playott cost country.

Speaker 28 (28:40):
It's what Gloucester, New Jersey, found itself dealing with last
summer with when more than five hundred teams arrived at
a city party, started a brawl and needed over one
hundred police to calm the situation.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, that was crazy. And the cell phones, all of
that kind of stuff. Kids go out, they do wacky
stuff and parents, now where you kids are, you can't
You can't blame a parent for everything a kid does,
but there should be some responsibility held in certain situations

(29:13):
by the parent.

Speaker 28 (29:14):
The Mayor of Gloucester, addressing this recently, says he may
have a solution.

Speaker 29 (29:18):
We have a juvenile crisis in this country. This is
not unique to Gloucester Township, but rather is symptomatic of
a larger, larger societal juvenile crisis. Now I'll tell you
I don't have all the answers, but one possible answer

(29:39):
is to hold parents accountable for their children.

Speaker 28 (29:43):
So that new law that they passed is called Miners
and Parent Responsibility. It says that parents will be held
responsible for and will be held accountable for public disturbances
caused by their child. The new law even suggests it
could go jail.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
That's crazy, I do. I mean, I've seen this. We've
seen this with kids who've done school shootings and things
that nature parents being you know, charged. We've seen some
other stuff where parents have in terms of I think
the thing is parents feel this right here. It's a
little loose. It's a little loose, like you could be
a great parent and your kid could do something stupid

(30:19):
and the fear is okay, Well, now you've kind of
thrown something out there that's so open for interpretation that
if your kid does one thing wrong, am I in
trouble for that?

Speaker 4 (30:31):
You can understand why parents worry.

Speaker 28 (30:33):
Some parents are audre outrages. This is Alex Bauer. She
is with the group Moms for Liberty.

Speaker 30 (30:38):
Blaming parents for what a child does. They are their
own person, right sixteen seventeen years old. Sure, their brain's
not fully formed yet, but if they are getting the
correct guidance, they should be making the right decisions and
they know the difference between right and wrong, and if
they choose to do something wrong, that child should be
held accountable for it the parent.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I agree again, you could be a great parent and
your kid could do something stupid. At what point do
you did you just finally say well, here's the deal.
Because of this, I can't let you guys go outside anymore.
You don't want that. That's not going to help your
kids at all. The real of surprise, Trey to squeeze

(31:23):
one more in here. Now we got a whole bunch
of stories you just didn't get to. Holy quack Emoley everybody.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
Number three, there's power in a portrait.

Speaker 16 (31:37):
You have a gift, Jack, you do do you see
people from Titanic to Seinfeld?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
He transcends time and space.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
And then there's this and these they're self described terrible
portraits brought to life by terrible portrait artist Jacob Ryan Reno.

Speaker 31 (31:56):
People will ask me, They're like, well, are you actually
like a really talent visual artist? And I'm like, no,
Like I'm trying as hard as I possibly can.

Speaker 7 (32:07):
The twenty six year old offering five dollars terrible portraits
drawn in five terrible minutes.

Speaker 31 (32:12):
I just try to make it as like elevated of
an experience as I possibly can, Like I did like
jazz music. I like usually have like flowers on my table.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
The project starting as a joke between Jacob and a
friend a few months back. Have you gotten better as
an artist?

Speaker 4 (32:28):
No, I think I'm worse.

Speaker 31 (32:30):
I think I'm actually getting worse, to be honest, and
that's the honest to god truth.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Here's the great thing. The story is hilarious. He tries,
but it is it.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
They're horrible.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
They're horrible, which was what makes them enduring because he
is trying and he knows he's not good at it.
So you know when you go to the like you
go to a fair, you go to an amusement park,
and they've got the down with the beach and they've
got the caricature guys. Now, I'll take that and make
it the worst thing you could think of, as if
somebody's never drawn before. That's what you get with this guy.

(33:06):
It is. It's a good story though, because he really
does try hard. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

Speaker 1 (34:16):
It's Chad Benson, Man.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
We went long there during the last segment. We better
hurry up if we want to find out what happened
on this day in history.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
What's upon in time?

Speaker 25 (34:24):
A long time ago.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Now it's time for this day in history. We look
back on this seat to find out what the famous
things took place. All right, on this day in history.
It's the fifteenth of August. A lot of stuff happened,
like I don't know. Sixteen twenty the Mayflower ooh, they said,
sail from Southampton carrying pilgrims to New York. Nineteen fourteen,

(34:46):
the Panama Canal officially opened the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Eighteen ninety nine, Henry Ford left Thomas Edison's company to
embark on building the automobile industry. Oh that's right. Eighteen
seventy nine, Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse now premiered in US theaters.

(35:07):
Also on this day in history, North Korea introduced yang
Yang time to mark the seventieth anniversary of liberation from
Japanese occupation. If you don't know what that is, they
moved the clocks backwards thirty minutes, so the rest of
the world was ahead of them by thirty minutes. And yeah,
that didn't go like they thought. They eventually went back
to regular old times. Some of the things that happened

(35:29):
on this day in history, August fifteen, three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, Your
ex and your Insta right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Jumping up our number two of the program. Buddy Zach Abraham,
chief investment officer Ullwark Capital, is going to join the program.

(35:49):
Got a lot of stuff to talk about the PPI report.
Maybe we'll ask him who do you think is going
to get fired? As well as just the overall market
itself and what some of these reports mean for actually
doing something with interest rates, because I think people are
starting to think, are we're going to get this done
or not? We'll ask you about that. Plus we got
your urban word of the day and throw a sandwich,

(36:13):
get fired and charged with a felony. We will talk
about that as well. Our number two of the programs
straight ahead, This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Let us all come together and try to figure out
how I can take most land from this place next
to us called the Great Motherland Soviet Union? Bard was it?
Lavrov showed up today wearing a CCC p shirt. Yay,
this is gonna be fun. They're gonna meet. It's gonna

(37:34):
be a serious situation. It's a meeting that nothing's gonna
be decided at the goal is to get everybody to
wear a seas fire. Can't have a piece deal without
a seas fire. Okay, that's the way this thing has

(37:55):
got to work. Gotta have that seas fire first and foremost.
Who wins, who loses the rights? A lot of you
out there think that something can be done today. Yesterday
I got all kinds of craziness about you don't even
understand y had Trump has played eight D chess so bazy,
you don't even understand you'd ever seen. And the left

(38:17):
is like, I would never talk to Putin. I can't
believe would do anything like that. Now, baby steps, baby steps?
What about Bob, baby steps? Bob baby steps? Same thing.
You go, you break bread, you get in the room,
you look into his eyes and you're like, baby, no,
you don't do that. But you have a true conversation.

(38:40):
Trump's good at reading people, although I will say the
Russians are hard, just the average Russians are hard. They're
hard to read. Not a lot of excitement in their
life is what I'm saying. Are you happy?

Speaker 6 (38:54):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Are you sad? Are you angry? I can't tell. They
have no expression that makes me kippy. So win ceasefire,
A loss would be we're done. I don't think that's
gonna happen. I think today, though, the conversation will get going.

(39:16):
There may be you know, and ceasefire. That's that's also
another interesting thing because no offense to to to us
and or the Russians. We've kind of let the Ukrainians
down and other countries when it comes to some of
this stuff. And it's this is though, I think the

(39:38):
final opportunity where we're going to be involved. And I'm
not just talking about today. I'm talking about, you know,
over the next couple weeks, because I think getting out
of it sees fire from there. The conversation of how
to break up the land, which I mean, let's be real,
they're like the poles over there, it's very unpopular. Yeah,
go to any nation on the planet and go, hey,

(39:59):
I'm polling to find out if you would like to
give up your land to your neighbor who came into
your country and took it by force. Are you happy
with that, Oh you're not. That's that's the dumbest thing
I've heard. If you're gonna give up something, this is
about peace and this is about survival. Putin could go

(40:21):
home and he could have all. You know, they can
get this thing done. And by the way, it's not
as simple as you know. Hey, Zelensky, come over here.
He wants to meet you, sit down, and you decide it.
It's in their constitution. It's gonna be a referendum. They
have to vote on it. I'm talking about everybody, including
people in the lands that are occupied by the Russians. Now,

(40:41):
so this is not a simplest kind of thing. But
if you're gonna give up land, damn skippy, you better
ask for some security.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Are the territorial swaps on the table?

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Will you be discussing that?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
They'll be discussed.

Speaker 33 (40:55):
But I've got to let you train make that decision,
and I think they'll make it proper. Justay. But I'm
not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here to get
them at a table, and I think you have two sides. Look,
Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine. If I
wasn't president, he would right now be taking all of
you grain.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
But he's not going to do it. Ukraine wouldn't exist,
is not going to do it. Well, well, there's a
let's be real. They survived because we pressured you have
to put more money in. We threw a ton of
money in and we threw a ton of weapons. In

(41:36):
the end of the day, though, they still have to
pull the trigger. And we've talked about this. When your
back is against a wall, you're not just fighting for
survival for your life. You're fighting for your future world.
Meaning do we exist as a nation anymore? Do my
kids have a nation anymore? Do my grandkids have a
nation anymore? And that's a much different thing. When you're

(42:00):
fighting for the belief that you're going to be wiped
off the face of the earth and replaced by a
puppet government that's going to control everything you do and
your identity as a Ukrainian and all that sovereignty is
going to disappear, it's a different kind of fight. You
fight a lot tougher, right, What do I say? You
know an animal's injured in its back against the wall.

(42:20):
You don't want that, And that's what they became.

Speaker 34 (42:24):
That being said, you fought a bigger beast, who's stronger,
who has unlimited amount of people to throw at you
for cannon fodder.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
And the war has become a war of attrition. And
guess who's got the biggest bucket. It's the Pewter. But
it's got to be about security. If you're going to
give up land, you better damn sure making sure that
you are protected in the future.

Speaker 17 (42:57):
On just one thing, what about the possimate that is
possibility of the United States providing security guarantees?

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Do you pray.

Speaker 33 (43:04):
Along with Europe and other countries not in the form
of NATO, because that's not gonna you know, there are
certain things that aren't gonna happen, but yeah, along with Europe,
there's a possibility of the.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
We'll see they say nothing's coming out of this this
this weekend that is going to be in Stone. It's
just there's so much more to it. This is a
big deal. I mean, this is two global powers who
are going to sit down in a room. And I
saw Chris Murphy earlier today on MSNBC basically, well, you

(43:38):
know this snow is officially like how far Caninua would go?
Bringing Donald Trump, bringing putin back into the fold. He's
a war criminalist, all these things. What is he supposed
to do? Not talk to him? Is that how we're
going to get this done? What a clown? So many
clowns out there. Speaking of clowns, Lindsey Graham, this is.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
Not a hard choice if you're an American. It's not
a hard choice if you're a Chryptian. A word of warning.

Speaker 5 (44:09):
If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull
the plug on us.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
Man.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
He is an absolute ass had of epic proportions. And
we talked about this a bit yesterday and I got
the usual, you know, angry people who send me stuff
because they're like, oh, you're the worst and you hate
the Jews, which is so stupid. That's like when you
say something and somebody goes you're racist or whatever, bloney

(44:38):
that you know, oh yeah you said this, so you
must be racist. It's the same thing. You can't criticize
the nation who are giving tons of money to and
even last night, you know, the frustration level is you
can't have just like we talk about the stuff that's
going on now with with Ukraine and whatnot. It's this

(45:03):
is bad, this is good. No, there's nuance to so
much of this there's absolute nuance. Yes, sometimes there is
an easy yeah, this is awful. This is awful. Nobody
looks at the Nazis and go, yeah, they were doing good,
they were doing some good stuff. No, no, they weren't.
What they did was awful and horrible. That's a pretty

(45:26):
easy thing. But for most things it's nuanced. And even
having this conversation and the hatred that people have is tremendous.
And you got, guys, I'm telling you right now. Some
of the stuff I get from people, and the stuff

(45:46):
that I get sent is hilarious. The anger they have
and I get my new favorite one I get is Oh,
I get called Muslim lover all the time. Actually, I'm
a lover of people, baby, you know what I'm saying.
Jesus told us to be peacemakers, So I'm a lover
of people. But I get accused every day of getting

(46:07):
money from the from some sort of Muslim Islam groups
or no. No, by the way, I'm open for business.
It was semithing. I'm kidding, of course. I just want
people to take a deep breath and look at things

(46:31):
from a different perspective, which people can't do anymore. Because
we've hiding ourselves behind these identities. This bs which is
ridiculous criticizing a foreign government that is committing war crimes.

(46:52):
As far as I'm concerned, atrocities whatever you want to
call genocide, ethnic cleansing, but they're doing it in our
name because we're funding the damn thing. That to me
is I'm sorry. It's abhorrent and I don't want to
be a part of it.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
The other day, though, I was I was golfing and
the guy that I was with golfing with uh, he
said to me, he goes, you know it was baby boomer.
He said, I am a baby boomer And I said, yeah,
he goes, I've only ever had one thought about Israel

(47:36):
and all that stuff, and he goes, I didn't realize
a lot of the stuff that has happened. I took
a look because of you, and I'll be damned, it's
a he goes, It's not as cut and dry as
everybody makes it out. To me, I said, no, this
is not absolving Hamas for their atrocities. This is about humanity.

(47:59):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at chadmentson show is your extra inst to coming up,

is where web root comes in. Let me tell you

Speaker 18 (49:37):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Don't throw food because you could get a felony. What
a dumbass.

Speaker 8 (49:57):
We're learning that the man accused of throwing a sandwich
at a Customs and Border Protection officer Sunday evening has
now lost his job at the Justice Department, according to
Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi said, Sean Charles Dunn has
been fired. He's facing a felony charge of assaulting an officer.
We reached out to his attorney but have not heard back.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
It was kind of funny because what was trending yesterday? Subway?
I'm like, why subway trending? And then it was because
the guy threw the sandwich and I started laughing because
my first my first thought was, I wonder, go kind
of sandwich you bought? Hey, it's not very nice yet, well,
I don't know what is it? As a spicy Italian

(50:37):
What if was a meatball? Would he have paid a
bigger price? And before that, by the way, he's standing
there screaming at them, and then he throws the sandwich
right at somebody's It hits him in the left side,

(50:58):
right in between, like hist in his shoulder, and then
he turns and he starts to run and it's. First
of all, the throw was not very strong. Secondly, the
running was hilarious because it looked like somebody running in flippers.
You ever see people walk on land with like scuba flippers. Yeah,

(51:20):
that didn't go very well. Trump is serious about this,
of course he is. And by the way, so's everybody else.
The numbers tell you so.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 35 (51:30):
I think this sort of gives the game away here
because Donald Trump is like Airic Jordan, towering over Joe
Biden when it comes to their handling a crime. Look
in twenty twenty four, look at where Biden's net approval
was on crime Way on the water there at minus
twenty six points. It was one of Biden's ware issues. Granted,
pretty much every issue was one of Biden's war isshues.
And again, look at where Donald Trump is, way way,

(51:52):
way above Joe Biden.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (51:54):
That's twenty seven points.

Speaker 35 (51:55):
So Americans vastly prefer Donald Trump's approach to crime, and.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Then they ditch you, Joe Biden.

Speaker 35 (52:01):
And again, I think it gets back to the point
that Americans are far more hawkish on crime than a
lot of Democrats want to it.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Mat Here's the funny thing. A lot of Democrats are
also hawkish on crime. Am I hawkish? It doesn't mean
you throw everybody in jail for everything that they do
wrong all the time, no matter what it is. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson Show,
is your ex your instant YouTube, Facebook? And more? Right
here in the Chad Benson Show, you come to find

(52:31):
out that guess what, Democrats, not the politicians, but the
average Democrats like I don't want crime in my streets.
I'm not interested in that. Oh, but they'll run at
the worst idea ever. That's what they do. Speaking of
crime and whatnot. Yesterday, why Governor Newsom was giving his

(52:52):
grandiose speech about how he's going to save the Republic
from the gerrymandering and evil that Texas is doing. He too,
is also going to jerrymander to show you, because nothing
fixes jerrymandering like more jerrymandering, I know. But while that
was all going on and they were talking about it,
the Ice folks seem to be right there, all in

(53:16):
their garb.

Speaker 36 (53:17):
Governor Newsom claims the show of force outside this event
was not coincidental, saying it only further shows the importance
of redrawing the congressional maps of his state to boost
the Democrats' chances of taking back control of the House
next year.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
That's pretty sick.

Speaker 5 (53:29):
What more evidence do people need at what's at stake
in this country?

Speaker 36 (53:35):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott dismissing Newsom's threats as quote hollow,
adding only nine to fifty two congressional seats in California
are Republican, even though nearly forty percent of California voters
chose President Trump.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
That's the way it is. That's the modern political machine.
They pick us, we don't pick them, and they make
it so they pretend like they are here for the
people when in reaction, they're there for donors and a
small group of people that make a lot of noise
during primaries. That's pretty much about it. Frustrating as hell.

(54:08):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Shows, Your Actual instat coming up
our buddy Zach Abram, Cheafvestment Officer, Bold Capital Joints Program,
talk about the economy.

Speaker 18 (54:17):
Chad Benson Show, Son Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's that time of the week. We talk to her
about he zach Abram Chievestment Officer, Boar were capitals. We
talk about, you know, a little bit of politics to
go with all the financial stuff going on. And I said,
who's Trump gonna fire? Because the PPI numbers weren't very good.
Who do you think he's gonna fire?

Speaker 27 (54:57):
Oh man, there's or there's a data collection person somewhere
that I'm sure you know, the heads are about to rule.
I mean, the PPI numbers were a little hotter than
we would have thought, but it just all makes sense.
I mean, Producer price index, okay, and what is that
measure that measures basically what it costs producers of any

(55:20):
good right to buy the materials and produce they're good.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
I mean, look at the tariffs on steel. I don't
understand how PPI wouldn't go up.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
I don't understand that. I mean, yeah, it.

Speaker 27 (55:30):
Has to absolutely, so yeah, I mean it's tariffs make
things more expensive. So yeah, I look, and I really
don't have much of a problem. I wish they would
have been put on in what would seemingly be a
more strategic way, but I don't.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
I don't think you know, you and I've talked about this.
I'm not one of.

Speaker 27 (55:52):
Those people at all that believes that the use of
tariffs in the pursuit of a better trade deal is
an automatic evil. It's in your policy tool belt. So
I just dismissed both of these side. You know, tariffs
are wonderful, tariffs are horrible. Well, it's all in context, right.
So if by putting on these pressures get you a

(56:16):
overhauled Chinese deal that lowers our trade deficit with them,
for let's say, you know, cuts it by thirty or
forty percent, then I'm going to look at you and say, hey,
on balance, I would say those tariffs were a small
price to pay.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Right, like they did what they need to do.

Speaker 27 (56:34):
If you truly believe that tariffs were how you were
going to pay down your national debt, I would say
that's not a good idea, no, right, so.

Speaker 4 (56:43):
Just because I mean you're just you're just passing. I mean,
that's just another tax at that. I mean, that's all
you're doing. So the thought that I thought, or the
thing that I thought.

Speaker 27 (56:50):
Was the most interesting about the numbers have come out
the last couple of days regarding inflation.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
Is the PPI data.

Speaker 27 (56:59):
And and if you look at again, well PPI data,
and you look at it in contrast to a lot
of the economic reports.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
Now, a lot of those economic reports are.

Speaker 27 (57:09):
Not hard, meaning they can be tricky and a little
bit misleading too.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
But I'll tell you what it looks like. It looks
like stagflation.

Speaker 27 (57:20):
And that's why I was really shocked about the market's reaction.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
To that inflation data.

Speaker 27 (57:26):
The headline number that everybody said was good was lower
than expectations. It wasn't showing the underlying that was being
basically held down by just consumer goods. It wasn't showing
the underlying parts of that calculation that are hockey sticking
higher like PPI. It was a very bizarre response from
the market because that was not good news. It wasn't apocalyptic,

(57:47):
but it was the worst of both scenarios. The way
the market responded to that chat. I would have thought
if you would have just showed me the reaction of bonds,
the yields on bonds, the dollar, and the stock market,
I would have been like, well, growth came in harder
than expected and inflation missed to the downside. That's the
way it looked, right, yields, we're pulling back. I mean,
you were like, oh, we got nirvana. You looked at

(58:08):
the underlying and it was the exact opposite. So I
don't know what that reaction was. The other thing I'll
say is again not panic. It's one data point. We
knew costs were going to go up when tariffs hit.
And I'm not saying, and when I say that that
tariffs make things go up, I'm not calling trumpe liar. Right,
Let's take the take a lot of the smoke out

(58:29):
of it. All I'm saying is that tariffs make things
go up that will be reflected in data. And I
think that you're running a risk right now of the
impacts of those tariffs hitting the economy at precisely a
time when it was softening.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
Anyway, we'll see if that happens.

Speaker 27 (58:44):
But you know, again, none of this is red alert
freak out stuff, but it's enough to it's enough to
grab your attention because stag inflation is the nastiest of
all economic places to be and when you've got growth
softening and prices accelerating up, that's what that looks like.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
So it's an ugly situation. It is talking to Zach Abram,
Chievestment Officer bot Capital, and I think people listening are
probably going, Okay, I know what inflation is. What the
hell stagflation?

Speaker 27 (59:13):
Yeah, So, if you think about it, an economy is
are always in one of three different you know, homeostasis
areas right, So you're either in an inflationary environment where
typically economic activity and the cost of goods is going up.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
We've experienced a lot of that lately.

Speaker 27 (59:33):
You're in a deflationary environment where the value on a
relative basis of currencies is going up while the value
of assets denominated in those currencies is going down. So
you know, think eight or nine, right, classic deflationary period
and the reason stagflation is so nasty is that usually

(59:54):
these things don't combine. Usually, inflation typically is part of growth,
and it's healthy when your growth rate is substantially higher
than your inflation rate, right, But especially where countries are
experiencing currency issues, currency devaluations, things like that, you'll run

(01:00:14):
into these stagflationary environments where despite the fact that prices
are going up, you're not seeing increased economic activity. You're
all right, So you're you're not getting any of the
benefits with inflation.

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
Right.

Speaker 27 (01:00:28):
We talk about the inflation of like the seventies, and
this last period has been somewhat like this too, the
inflation of the seventies. But you know, go look at
the seventies. You know, for most of that time you
had really strong labor demand. What too, right, because that
inflation was about the economy really starting to crank up,
you know, as baby boomers came of age and household
formation started among that age group in the eighties. So

(01:00:51):
stagflation is where you're getting the higher prices, but you're
not getting any of the benefits of the growth that
comes with it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
So where you'd see.

Speaker 27 (01:00:58):
Inflation, theoretically inflation and unemployment going up at the same time.
And that is a really, really nasty scenario to be
in because it puts policymakers in a very tough spot.
Right You've got a slowing economy that probably needs easing
or relief of some kind, but you can't do that
because whatever you do just soaks the inflation even hotter.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Yeah, and that's the worry today, right like this, this
number is going to give them pause about whether or
not they're going to you know, take it down at
you know, a quarter a half point the FED. Yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:01:32):
And this is my whole point too, And I think
that's why it helps to look at these things regardless
of who you support politically.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
I think that's why it helps to look at.

Speaker 27 (01:01:40):
These things through a non political lens, right because, like
I said, I have to write. I've got my political
beliefs and the things that I think, but then I've
got to manage people's money and you know, make money.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
So we got to get it right.

Speaker 27 (01:01:54):
But this isn't us saying that tariffs are good, tariffs bad.
This is just looking at the econom data. If you
want to look at the economic data as it relates
to rate cuts right now, the market's pricing in a
twenty three basis point cut, which is basically the market
saying we're one hundred percent sure, we're ninety three percent
sure that you're going to get a twenty five basis

(01:02:15):
point cut.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
That would be the odds on favorite.

Speaker 27 (01:02:19):
That being said, if all you did was show me
that data, I wouldn't cut if I was in their chair.
And the simple reason why is when you're running, when
you've got EPI and you've got several factors of inflation
that are reaccelerating and are over your target right three,
we're currently at three point two something like that, and

(01:02:41):
you've got inflating and you've got unemployment at four point two.
There's just nothing about that that says to cut. It
just doesn't do. I think that a twenty five basis
point cut would be a disaster. No, I mean, what's
the real impact at twenty five basis points?

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Not a lot?

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):
But does that data? I don't warrant cutting, No, No,
it just doesn't.

Speaker 27 (01:03:03):
Now thirty days from now, data could roll in that
completely counteracts that or contradicts that. And maybe you do
have a case, maybe you do have a really deflationary
you know, wind to blowing through the economy, but you
just don't see it right now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Talking to Zach A. Ramchvestment officer Bobard Capital, you talk
about thirty days from now, we're at that time. We'll
get you know, heading into fall. This is it, I mean,
you know, for big businesses everybody, this is there making
hay kind of thing, kind of like the movie Jaws.
This is their chance to make money. Otherwise they're going
to get hungry for you know, for the rest of
the winter because you got the Christmas and Halloween, Thanksgiving,

(01:03:39):
all of these big things. And I still it's weird.
There's a quiet confidence in some ways, I think in
the economy, and there's also a lot of people that
are nervous.

Speaker 27 (01:03:50):
Yeah, and I think the nervousness comes from Look, it
really feels in so many different ways. And number look
like this too, that you're kind of reaching a maximization point.

Speaker 33 (01:04:05):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:05):
We've been living on a credit card.

Speaker 27 (01:04:06):
For a while and it you just the inflation numbers
creeping up and you're just like guys kind of feeling
like some checks are coming.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
To yes, you know what I mean, they're not going
to raise them. They're not going to raise their limit anymore.

Speaker 27 (01:04:18):
No, and and that really, if we're correct about that,
that could create some serious issues in the in US
asset prices, US equity markets and the real here's the
troubling thing about that. We look, this isn't even this
isn't even financial theory, Chad, this is just what it is.
Meaning this economy is more sensitive to stock market gyrations

(01:04:43):
than at any other time in history.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
And without a question in my mind. Okay. And and
number reason why, number one reason why is.

Speaker 27 (01:04:51):
The second ledger largest generation and history outside of millennials
are baby Boomers. And you're getting them retiring to the
tune of somewhere like ten to thirteen thousand of them
were retiring a day.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Okay.

Speaker 27 (01:05:04):
And the baby boomers own I mean what it was,
seventy percent of the nation's wealth or something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
Okay. And remember every time they retire, what are they
relying on.

Speaker 27 (01:05:15):
They're not living on pensions, yeah right, They're relying on
their stock market investments.

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Okay.

Speaker 27 (01:05:20):
So when the richest and biggest spending generation in the country,
if all of a sudden they hit a twenty to
thirty percent hit to that portfolio, and it doesn't just
bounce back like it's been that's going to have a
negative impact on the economy. Oh yeah, right, And we
used to have we used to have stock market drops

(01:05:41):
because of recessions. I think it's very likely now you
could have a recession due to a stock market drop.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
So because you're just.

Speaker 27 (01:05:48):
So financialized, and people go, oh, that, Zach, you're making
too much of it, and I go, guys, just think
about this. If by the time December twenty fifth rolled
around and Grandpa Allen and Grandma Janet's you know, investment
accounts down twenty five percent from where it started the year,
are they going to buy the kids more or less
Christmas presents?

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
Absolutely? Of course, of course they're going to cut back. Yeah, right.

Speaker 27 (01:06:13):
So And and having said all that, though, you still
have the underlying look, the consumer, financially speaking, is still
very well cast up. You've got record amounts equity and homes.
So I think that there's a lot of things to
be concerned about. I don't think there's anything to be
panicked about. But I'm going to keep banging on this

(01:06:34):
drum and tell people are tired of hearing it, and
I'll probably bang out some more. But I do look
around the world and I just cannot feel strongly enough.

Speaker 4 (01:06:41):
That people need to be.

Speaker 27 (01:06:45):
We need to really broaden our definition of diversification over
what it's been for the last fifteen years. You've got
to get exposure to you know, inflationary type assets, precious metals.
You've got to get more commodities exposure than in the
present portfolio.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
And I think you need more international exposure.

Speaker 27 (01:07:05):
And when I tell people that, I don't mean go
out and just load up on all that stuff. But
we just know by the looking at the average composition
of the average investor portfolio, they've never been lighter on
those things. And we're going into a period of time
where that's exactly what you need, right Like that's and
those things are already working. Yeah, so you know, I

(01:07:27):
just us, especially when you consider there are many places
around the world that have any interim better looking or
easier roads to hoe economically, that are trading at significant.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
Discounts to US markets.

Speaker 27 (01:07:44):
And yeah, it's both it's both managing risks doing that,
but also taking taking advantage of opportunities because there's a
lot of great stuff, especially when you start looking abroad.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Talking to Zach Abram, Chievestment off the bold capital people
want to reach out to you. They want to get
that second opinion, to talk to you about what's it
like to trade somewhere else? What do they do?

you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Just because it's Friday, it doesn't mean we take a
day off from learning, especially when it comes to the
youth of America. The vernacular, the words, the phrases that
really you know, I mean, come on, let's be real,
they use on a daily basis that we at times
have no idea what they're saying. But now we're starting
to learn. This is our cheat code, your cheat code,

(01:10:30):
my cheat code to what it is that they are
saying and how we can well understand it better. You
know what time it is. Now, it's time for the
urban word of the day. The young have the vocabulary
all their own, and we break it down for you.
It's called the urban word of the day. All right.
I decided to throw this in with Trump and the

(01:10:53):
Powder meeting. Okay, I thought this was kind of funny.
All right, this is it's looking around. It's like, okay,
I like this OTP one true pairing. You the describe
a relationship you are very interested in or believe should happen.
I don't care that he's from Russia and Trump's from

(01:11:16):
the United States. They're OTP. This is definitely one true pairing.
OTP is your urban word or phrase of the days.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Now, you know, like we say, it's good to know
because the more you know, the more you know. Although
as you get older you start to realize the more
you know, the less you really know. You'll learn that
kids later on in life that you think, I know
a lot of stuff, and you may know a lot
of stuff, and you may know a lot of things,

(01:11:54):
but the reality is as you get deeper into stuff,
it's like an iceberg. Of the icebergs underwater, you don't
see it. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is your
ex your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook as well, and make
sure you check out our podcast whoever podcasts are available

(01:12:15):

Coming up, hour number three of the program, a lot
of stuff still to get to. We've got your amazing
what's trending, We've got your incredible finally Friday Sounds, and
in between our buddy Jim Kennedy from the Kennedy Institute
of public ballus. Your research is going to join us.

(01:12:37):
It's out there in California. A. We're going to talk
to him about the insanity of Gavin Newsom and this
redistricting plan because, as I always say, man, nothing fixed
jerry mandering like jerry mandering itself. Oh that's a weird thing,
I know, right crazy. Reach out to us across all
of our social media three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show Accent Insta.

(01:13:00):
How were number three of the program?

Speaker 20 (01:13:01):
Straight to had Chad Benson? Chad, this is the Chad
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Oh the Russian national anthem. They came, they saw, they
fell in love. Really no, not really. Here's a minister,
not one of the ministers that preached the Lord, like
a minister of Ukraine, one of the foreign ministers, talking
about how it's Ukraine that is protecting Europe. And I mean,

(01:14:03):
just again, they're upset, they're angry, they have no say
in this, and they're pissed. But the reality is simply
this a bigger batter thing came in, took your land.
We're trying to figure out how we get to some
sort of beast deal that's going to take longer than
a couple hours to sort out, and there's not a

(01:14:26):
lot you can do. Possession is nine tenths of the law.
No possession is one hundred percent of the law. When
you've got nuclear weapons, more bodies to throw at stuff,
and more bullets, that's it. It's pretty simple, pretty simple.

Speaker 37 (01:14:51):
The truth is right now, Ukraine is providing security guarantees
to Europe because we are basically standing in between Europe
and Russia, and Russia didn't give up the ideas of
restoring Soviet Union, as we have clearly seen today.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
And she says that because lever showed up ccc P
shirt for the Soviet the Union. You guys get that, Okay,
their mind heard from.

Speaker 37 (01:15:18):
A dictator put in many times beforehand. So well, let's
hope that President Trump just can't tell whatever is on
his mind, and let's hope that it is still and works,
because without the security guarantees, none of the talks will
make will make any sense, and without the idea of
how Europe and the United States can be standing against

(01:15:43):
Russia for European security. Again, these all the ideas about peace,
all the ideas about President Trump getting the nobel price
for it. They will be just talks and will not
lead to any serious conclusions. Also, we are right now
at the situation where in the United States is in
a weaker position because President Trump promised to impose sanctions

(01:16:05):
on Russia and he did not.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
He did do that. And by the way, I'm just
gonna give you an idea of how much Russia sanctioned,
So I'm gonna stop you right there. Okay, Belarus has
fifteen hundred sanctions, North Korea. North Korea two thousand sanctions,
Syria three thousand sanctions, Iran five thousand sanctions. If you

(01:16:33):
added all of those up, it would not be as
many as the twenty thousand plus sanctions on Russia. And yes,
Trump is coming in from a weaker standpoint. Why is
that because you, being Ukraine, have run out of people

(01:16:54):
to send to fight average age I've heard anywhere between
forty plus mid forties all the way up to well
past sixty in certain areas. There's no eighteen nineteen twenty
years old fighting that much anymore. You are, so there

(01:17:15):
is no upper hand. The best is move on to
another conversation, into a ceasefire, into peace. You get land,
and for giving up the land, you get an assurance
that if they attack again that we will be behind you.

(01:17:42):
And Trump said earlier it can't be NATO. No, it's
not NATO. And if you attack them, you're on your own.
If you attack Belarus, you're on your own. If you
decide to attack whoever, that's a you thing, Ukraine. But
if Russia does something again, then we will get involved.
That's the best you're gonna get. And by we getting involved,

(01:18:05):
we'll supply all of the weapons for some of the
European nations. I think that'd be about good as we again,
Oh my lord three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson show, is your ex your
insta whatever? You know? Again, this is a complicated situation

(01:18:26):
that is going to take time. And their meeting and
there's gonna be another meeting, and there'll have to be
some other meetings, and there's going to be more than that.
And and I think the most interesting thing is what
does it look like when Zelensky and the Pooter are
in the room together. Keep telling you, man, if I
was sitting down in front of Selensica, like, don't shake

(01:18:47):
his hand, unless you have some sort of protection on
because I feel like he oh yeah, because he's done
stuff like that before. Go back to when the the
was it the doctor in England that they put the
was the like I forgot what it was. They put
inside of him through a an umbrella. They poked him

(01:19:11):
when he's walking on the streets, and then he ended
up you know, it was like radiation or Soth ended
up getting cancer and dying. They traced it back to them.
I mean, how many people have you know, met their
untimely demise, you know, dancing like nobody seeing them in
their second or third story, or how many people have

(01:19:31):
met their untimely demise by having a cup of tea.
So it'll be interesting if they get in the same
room what that looks like. Meanwhile, guess what redistricting I
said it was gonna be a massive story. It is
a massive story. It is not going anywhere. The fight

(01:19:52):
is going to continue, The fight is going to contete
you for sure. One of the things it's interesting about,
and I keep explaining to people about the whole redistricting thing,
is the fact that the Republican states have an upper hand,
have kind of the advantage based on the fact that

(01:20:14):
many of the Blue states are in a position where
in their constitution it is written out how you go
about redrawing the lines, redistricting, gerrymandering, whatever you want to
call it, where places like Texas and Indiana they don't
have that there, so they can just do it when
they want.

Speaker 38 (01:20:35):
There are other states that are weighing the possibility of
redistricting as well, places like Missouri and Indiana and Florida.
And when we talk to elections experts, what we've been
told is that there are more opportunities on the map
in states across the country for Republicans to successfully redistrict
than there are for Democrats to successfully redistrict. So it

(01:20:57):
could be that Republicans have the upper hand when it
comes to this fight.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
And yesterday Grusseom Newsom, we're gonna talk a little bit
more about it later with our buddy Jim Kennedy came
out and he did his thing, you know, and the
usual stuff that he does. But it's not a simple thing.
There's a lot that has to go right for them
to even get the opportunity to get on the ballot,
to get the opportunity to vote on so they could

(01:21:23):
do it, so they get it on next year in
the midterms. It's not as simple as snap your fingers
and we're going to get this did where in Texas
it was one hundred percent legal what they did. Don't
have to like it, and again it never got to
to Governor Abbott, but it was it's legally. When I
hear them come out and go, well, he's doing all
these things and it's evil and it's bad, and you

(01:21:45):
know the stuff that they all say, the reality is
nothing he's doing is illegal. Just like with Trump and DC,
that's not illegal. He didn't stop on the Constitution to
go and depl Floyd what he's done. He has every
right to do what he's doing. Because you don't like

(01:22:07):
it doesn't mean it's wrong, just means you don't like it.
And the viscerally attitude that you have towards Trump, I like,
I often wonder in another dimension, which there's other dimensions,
talk about that maybe in a second, in another dimension

(01:22:28):
time and space. If it's John Kasik Rand Paul Marco
Rubio and they decided to do something like this, what
is the reaction like? Because Trump is who he is,

(01:22:50):
everything is always extra. As the kids would say, which
isn't a smart thing or a good thing, because eventually
it gets exhausting. And so when you do have issues
that are real, what happens. It's the boy who cried Wolf.

(01:23:10):
I don't want to hear it. You're boring me speaking
of UFOs extra dimensional. I don't know if you guys
saw Anna Paulina Luna. She was on with Roga the
other day and they got into it about the UFOs
and whatnot, and it's just pretty straightforward about it.

Speaker 39 (01:23:29):
You said that you've seen evidence, Like what kind of
evidence have you seen?

Speaker 19 (01:23:33):
I have seen photos.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
I have seen what have you seen photos of?

Speaker 31 (01:23:38):
So?

Speaker 40 (01:23:39):
I was in a skiff and I can't discuss all
that was in a skiff, but what I can tell
you is based on the photos that I've seen, I'm
very confident that there's things out there that have not
been created by mankin.

Speaker 39 (01:23:51):
It seems crazy that people have access to information that
shows that there's something outside of us that is more intelligent,
at least more capable than we are, and they hide
it from everybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
One of the things that was very interesting, and I
watched a lot of it, and my uncle and I
who joins me a couple of nights a week on
the podcast. You can always show me right around seven
o'clock Eastern on the YouTube and Facebook and all the
other stuff. One of the things that we've always theorized,
and again take it for what it's worth, is stopped
thinking little green men coming from far far away distant galaxies,

(01:24:27):
you know, light years and stuff. Think interdimensional. Think there's
another dimension that is next to you and next to
it we can't see it. Think the matrix kind of
stuff wherever you want, but it's and that's what she
alluded to. We've got to stop thinking about this spaceship
little green men, think about something that is another dimension.

(01:24:50):
And that's why the whole because the thought of the
light speed and all that kind of stuff. I mean,
that's tough one. I mean I've always said it's hard
to think that we're the only ones out there. But
just because there's maybe others out there doesn't mean they
could ever reach us. So we could reach them, but
other dimensions far more plausible. Three, two, three, five, twenty

High School football that's trending. What the yeah? It's trending.
Do you want to know why? And the reason the
old Buford High School is trending is because of the stadium.

(01:29:25):
So they kicked off their season last night. And if
you're it's my first full year in the South. So
we arrived October first of last year. So I lived
in Texas for a while then off and on, and
I will tell you this right now, I think we
all know this football Friday at lights foot bir It's
a big deal. It's a big deal throughout the South

(01:29:45):
as well. And the Buford Football Stadium is the reason
that they were trending because they built a new sixty
two million dollars ten thousand stet stadium. Now it's not
the biggest or the most expensive, but what they did
was make it very luxurious. Massive video board, brick, interior,

(01:30:09):
VIP suites just to name a few of the things
in this stadium. And it's luxurious, there's no doubt about it.
It's not your Friday night lights kind of thing. This
thing is ridiculous. And this is what the high school
football world is becoming in areas in big cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston.

(01:30:37):
Not a shocker, kids, not a shocker because it's footbur

Job Chat, Ben's Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
The Chad Benson Show, that time of the week, which
is tough to our good moddy Jim Kennedy Kennedy, it's
the public polacy race. That's John and the program on
this friar Yarry, Uh, Jim. I'm gonna start in California
because you were there. I saw the man, the myth,
the legend in his own mind who is going to
fix jerry mandering by jerry mandering himself and the state

(01:31:40):
of California. You simply know him as gruesome newsom.

Speaker 6 (01:31:45):
Ahavin loathsome absolutely boy.

Speaker 21 (01:31:47):
That conference yesterday was just a that was just a
political stunt.

Speaker 6 (01:31:51):
Beyond all political stunts.

Speaker 21 (01:31:53):
That is a that is an event that you run
when you're running for president. They've already put out a
campaign ad for that initiative, which isn't even on the
ballot yet, which hasn't even been voted on, which I
don't believe has even been drafted yet for the for
the state Constitutional Committee to even look at. So yeah,
it's basically this is Gavin running for president and he's

(01:32:13):
just in the state of California to pay for his
first efforts on it. His poll numbers have been going
up since he started to be the king of the
hashtag operation, sorry, hashtag resistance operation about three months ago,
and his numbers hadn't been that good, and they this
has bumped his numbers up. They you know, he's looking
I don't want to say presidential. He just looks less

(01:32:35):
slimy by doing this for somehow for Democrats. So it
has really helped his numbers out as he prepares for
because he is running for president twenty twenty eight. I
don't know if all the listeners understand that they don't
have to deal with Gavin on a daily basis, but
his Twitter feed, his x feed over the last two
to three weeks, it's just been nothing but diarrhea. As

(01:32:56):
far as Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, it is everything
about the problem that tr Trump's done. This Trump ruined
everything he sits here and talks about. You know, job
creation is down. He forgets, he neglects the state that
he's sitting on, the state with the highest unemployment in
America right now, thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:33:12):
Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 21 (01:33:13):
In addition to the highest property or the highest gas taxes,
the highest gas prices, the highest personal income taxes. It
is a record of failure. But he wants to basically,
you know, distract everybody, say look over here, bad bad
Jerry Mannering, because basically the Democrats have come down to
we have to break democracy to fix democracy.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
Well, that's the best way to do it. And by
the way, I mean, look at all the stuff they've
get done. Parts of California burned down and within weeks
they were just issuing all kinds of permits and they're
building already in the structures you're going up.

Speaker 6 (01:33:43):
Didn't happen hasn't happened? Oh yeah, there hasn't been. They have.

Speaker 21 (01:33:47):
Actually, he was trying to take credit for that last week,
saying that this is the debris removal project in the
history of the country or something, and it's like, okay,
but still you've got nobody building and there's lots Now
we're going into the what is it.

Speaker 6 (01:34:04):
This is the eighth month.

Speaker 21 (01:34:06):
That since the burn There was like eight months ago
Tuesday that the fire fires occurred. So yeah, there's still
not people getting there. Like I've got friends that had
their house damaged and they made by the end of
the month get back into their house. Wasn't burned down,
it just had smoke damage and wind damage and stuff.
And it's been seven months just to get that kind
of stuff cleaned up. They're seeing there, I mean they live,

(01:34:29):
you know, not next to, but fairly close to lots
of places that burned and where they are, and they're
not seeing any reconstruction. They're not seeing any new houses
being built. A lot of people can't afford it. And
there's still was a bill that was shut down when
they got a lot of public attention on it where
they were trying to fund one hundred million dollar project

(01:34:49):
for the state to go buy that stuff and turn
turn some housing into low to low income housing in
both the Palisades and.

Speaker 6 (01:34:55):
Altadena areas that have no low income housing.

Speaker 21 (01:34:58):
Altadena is near income housing, palace Ades is all I
think you'd mentioned before, where the average house is four
and a half million in the Palisades.

Speaker 6 (01:35:05):
I believe something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
It's just insane. It is crazy. And I've got well,
my agent, the his house is gone and so him
and his family and he's got high schoolers. They live
in Mexico now because they couldn't find a place out
there to rent, because the minute all this happened, everybody
went and it was virtually impossible to find anywhere they

(01:35:28):
couldn't stay. So they're homeschool. Then they're living in Mexico
for the moment.

Speaker 21 (01:35:32):
Yeah, someone had said that the weekend after the fire,
every high income rental property in Orange County had disappeared,
and what was calling it was off the market because
there were people that immediately jumped onto those things. And
to make it worse for the poor people that there
a bunch of people are going to a temporary school
that has been set up I believe in Santa Monica
for I don't know if it's middle schoolers or high schoolers,

(01:35:54):
and because for some reason of the lack of facilities there,
if they want to if the you know kid that
are over sixteen that can drive, they want to park,
it's going to be fourhundred and fifty dollars per semester
to park on site because of limited parking or something.

Speaker 6 (01:36:08):
So you know, that just kind of doesn't.

Speaker 21 (01:36:10):
Add insult the injury of it that they're you know,
it's bad enough their lives have been disrupted down they
want four and fifty bucks just to just have the
ability to drive yourself to school in the morning because
mom and dad are busy, or you just like the
freedom of driving yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy issue of public Policy research, crime,
I mean the latest pull out that this time last year,
when they went and looked at Biden's numbers on crime,
he was minus twenty six. Trump is plus one. And
while people we always talk about you don't always want

(01:36:40):
to see how the sausage is made, but the reality
is he's a plus one. You're a minus twenty six
at twenty seven point difference. You can say, oh, it
looks awful, bad, this, that and the other, but the
fact is people are over crime, and as you should be.

(01:37:00):
But Democrats continue brother to run at the dumbest things
on the planet when it comes to things like crime,
restorative justice, stuff that just doesn't play even with the
average Democrat.

Speaker 21 (01:37:13):
Yeah, absolutely not. And it is crazy. It's it's you know,
it's interesting. Someone was talking about the or someone was
postulating about the UH, you know, the Washington d C.
You know, you know air quotes here takeover of the policing.
And I saw that yesterday the UH that the head
of the Metropolitan pd D in DC is said, hey, yeah, well,
we're happy to work with ICE. We're not going to

(01:37:35):
go ask people for immigration, but if we find I
legal aliens, then we will turn them over to ICE
for processing and deportation. So they're tired of it too.
It's funny you get a thirty year old, you know,
government employee wearing a man bun who says, this is fascism,
but you get it. But you get a middle aged
black woman who's you know, basically worried about her kids
being caught up in drugs and gangs every day, who's

(01:37:56):
on a neighborhood watch program, is saying, now send them in.

Speaker 6 (01:37:58):
We could use it.

Speaker 21 (01:37:59):
We need to help, we need to do something to
clean up the streets. And I think it's gonna be
well received. But yeah, that the Damas just can't get
out of their own way on this in general. They're
still even on the DC side trying to you know,
trying to defend why this is wrong, and you know, again,
this is fascism. This is the start of a national takeover.
DC is separate, it's a it's a federal city. There's

(01:38:19):
no other city in the country like it.

Speaker 6 (01:38:21):
It's a unique situation.

Speaker 21 (01:38:24):
They can't do this in Saint Louis or Oakland or
San Francisco or Baltimore or any of the other places.
Memphis has a huge crime problem too. On cities I
have murder problems. Can't do them in any of those cities,
but they.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
Can in DC.

Speaker 21 (01:38:36):
And hopefully, you know, it's gonna take a while. He
only has thirty days, but it can take more than
thirty days to fix the problem. And also the part
of the problem is too, You've got a sorrows type
da in there, so that even if the police arrest
somebody and drag him in, they're gonna, you know, they're
gonna kick them backut on the streets before they finish
filing their reports and going back out to rest somebody else.

Speaker 6 (01:38:54):
So yeah, but the Dems can't get out of their
way on this.

Speaker 21 (01:38:56):
They continue to and I don't know why, because there's
no polling numbers that tell them this is a win.
I mean, maybe for the uber progressive wing of the party,
this is you know, this is something that plays well
with them, but they're not the main voter base, and
let alone trying to get swing voters that come across
get independent voters to come across or even you know,
completely fantasyland, trying to convince Republicans why you should come

(01:39:17):
vote for Democrats. None of the crime stuff is going
to work for them, and they're either you know, I
assume they're going to figure out at some point, or
they're going to continue to lose badly in elections.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
You know, you talk about it doesn't play well. Chris Matthews,
he goes today, I mean he goes, yeah, yeah, I
think it was yesterday or a couple of days ago.
He says, this is a losing argument, trying to convince
everybody that because there's little bit less murder, that that
somehow points it into a good direction and that we

(01:39:49):
should just go with that, and that it's all working.
You're losing. And then Eli Ellie Holing Honing on CNN
who said, essentially, d C is danger, he's risk, this
is not right, this is this is what needs to
be done. He's got every right, and you're gonna find
that a lot of people in DC are like, yeah,
you know what this needed to happen.

Speaker 12 (01:40:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:40:10):
And the thing about too, is that there's a couple
of problems too. And you say the numbers are falling.
A number of the larger cities are not been reporting
into the FBI's National Crime Database or something I think
it's called.

Speaker 6 (01:40:22):
For since like twenty twenty, since the pandemic or twenty
twenty two.

Speaker 21 (01:40:25):
They just don't report the numbers in anymore because I
don't know if they lost staff during the pandemic because
of the or because of the defunding efforts, and they
haven't been reporting in. Second of all, there was a
commander in the Metropolitan PD in DC just last week
was put on leave because they believe that he has
been basically faking the murder numbers and reducing them to
make it look like they've had fewer and fewer murders.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
Do you know what he was doing the way that
you write it up. He was reporting it, but if
somebody got shot and they went to the hospital, they
would report it as an assault person to the hospital.
By not putting certain things, it's left off the FBI's
database and doesn't count towards the statistic.

Speaker 6 (01:41:09):
Sure.

Speaker 21 (01:41:10):
Yeah, yeah, it didn't call it a GSW, so therefore
doesn't count as a violent crime problem orling.

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
Yeah, that's exactly it. So it's it's it's a way
that they play with data numbers and and and by
the way, that woke da there. Did you hear him
talk about it was like he went to and took gascones.
We're not gonna he said, the same thing. We're not
going to prosecute our way out of Oh yeah, yeah,
I'm like, wow, they're just handing it the same thing

(01:41:38):
over and over again to these people. Talking to Jim
Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, quick, a couple
of things foreign, let's jump on that. I don't think
Trump and this is now no slap on Trump. I
just don't think he's got any cards to play right
now because I think Putin has everything at his disposal.
He's got the momentum, you know. He he's taking no

(01:42:01):
longer taking yards a day, He's taking a few miles
sometimes more to day. And they're averaging forty to sixty
years old, depending on where they are in Ukraine on
the battlefield. That is unsustainable.

Speaker 6 (01:42:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that.

Speaker 21 (01:42:16):
That was the final days of the Nazis in Germany.
They were as the troop from marching into Berlin, they
were encountering that they were counting fourteen year old boys
and seventy two year old men were basically all they
were running into. And that's not good for your credit.
I was really shocked when you talked about that yesterday.
It was just crazy and I was surprised. I thought

(01:42:37):
the Russians were running thin, but evidently they're not. Because
the problem is, the problem still is Russia is basically
he's compromised the country for the next fifty years as
far as population growth, They're gonna have serious problems because
of this, and because of people fleeing the country in general.
They just don't want to be part of Putin's regime.
It won't be his problem. He won't be around in
fifty years, so basically live through the problems that he's creating.

(01:42:59):
Just as the Es aren't gonna be around, she won't
be around. Then again, the people that put that problem
in was with thirty years ago, so so be it
for them too.

Speaker 6 (01:43:06):
But yeah, no, I don't.

Speaker 21 (01:43:08):
I mean, the thing is, when it really comes down
to what what cards does Trump really have to play?
He can't threaten him, he can't threaten to nuke him.
I mean he kind of jokingly has he's moved the
you know, you know, uh uh, submarines in the area
and stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:43:21):
But Puttin knows he's bluffing and it can't really do anything.
Doesn't want to start a nuclear war.

Speaker 21 (01:43:24):
It's been the problem from day one is what really
is it?

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
Do you?

Speaker 21 (01:43:27):
I mean, nobody has the wherewithal the kahons, the guts
to basically say, yeah, we're gonna go invade Rush in
a land war, to basically take them out of Ukraine
and basically take Puttin out of the country.

Speaker 6 (01:43:42):
They're not gonna. No one's doing that. We're not gonna
be able to.

Speaker 21 (01:43:44):
You can't sell that to the American public, and I
don't think you should try to.

Speaker 6 (01:43:48):
It's a loser. Europe.

Speaker 21 (01:43:50):
Well, it's closer to their problem than you know, than
it is ours geographically. But there really isn't anything you
can't really the guy's got nuclear weapons and more and
more so I feel bad for you, Crane, because it
really makes them look like this is why you shouldn't
have given up your nuclear weapons, because stuff like this
could happen thirty years after you do.

take our capital back.

Speaker 1 (01:48:20):
This is not about crime, This is about control.

Speaker 17 (01:48:23):
I don't like being up here talking about how unsafe
and how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful capital was.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
Oh what a week? Crazy? Am I right?

Speaker 4 (01:48:34):
And to.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
And to say that it's not going to get crazier
it would probably be a lie. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Helps us out right here on the Chad Benson Show, Man,

(01:48:57):
that was a hell of a week, wasn't it? And
of course the it, but the Pooter and Trump over
the next couple of days, everything is going to be
unpacked with that. And where they go from here after today,
it's anybody's guess. Because Pooter has the upper ham and
we know of these things with both Trump and him,
you just you never know. Unpredictable. It's all unpredictable. So

(01:49:20):
we shall see, we shall see, and even if something
does happen doesn't mean it will stick. And if something
doesn't happen doesn't mean it can't get done. Still, that's
the unpredictability of the world we live in at times.
You guys, have a less rest of your day and
we will be back on Monday as always, Night night Jack.
