Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Not so fast, Eric, You're not going anywhere yet, what,
Eric Menendez?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's a no.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
A stunning, a crushing defeat really for the Menendez brothers,
after they felt that they had come so close, after
being recent into just a couple of months ago, from
life without the possibility of parole, to fifty years to
life opening the possibility for parole, which again denied pretty
vehemently from this parole board.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, that's a hard no. Kids, you're not getting out now.
Lyle has his day in court, if you will, today
in front of the parole board.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
But this was a no, a no. I think a
lot of people are shocked by that.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I I think I was. I thought they were going
to get out, or you know. I mean, I don't
know the difference between the two as far as what
kind of trouble Lyle's been in, but.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
I did think they were going to get out. But
why did you think that, Chad.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Because they've been in there what thirty some years, thirty
five years, thirty eight years, and.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
They got a podcast of waiting for him. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I just I didn't think they were gonna say no
to them. I wonder if the publicity was so big
that that pushed them to say, no, we're not gonna
let these guys out.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
The hearings final words left for the victim's family in
this case also the brother's family, eighteen of them speaking
on the brother's behalf, including Joseman end Is his sister
Terry Barolt, battling stage four cancer. She made her plea
calling Erica sweet gentle soul, who deserved to be protected
from his father and has repeatedly over the past thirty five.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Years, asked her forgiveness.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
I want to make it clear, She told the commissioners
that although I love my brother, I have fully forgiven Eric.
But in the end those pleas weren't enough.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
They were not.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I think a lot of questions about much ka mom
as well.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
It was that whole.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I mean, I grew up, you know, I came to age,
if you will, in that time when this happened, and
I remember it because obviously California, this was a huge
story and they the parents are dead and next thing
you know, there's these kids, and there was two trials.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Other people realized there were two trials.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
The first trial two juries, right, so both brothers were
on trial but there were two juries and they were
hung juries, and then they tried them again. And you know,
over the last several years, not only has there been
a plea to allow them to get out, but you've
also had people that worked with the you know, Menendez,

(03:00):
their dad who said that he was as bad as
they were saying. I mean, it doesn't give them the
right to do that. But I think there's a lot
of questions about mom, like, yeah, he was awful. You
shouldn't do what you did. That was a horrible thing
that being said, watch kill mom.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
When asked why he killed his mother, Eric described feeling
betrayed when he learned she knew about the abuse for years.
I saw my mother my father as one person after
I learned that she knew. So when I was running
into the den, I was in a state of terror,
of panic, of rage. A parole member telling Eric he
understands the concept of the learned helplessness for sexual abuse victims,

(03:44):
but that same member excoriated Eric's record for being replete
with diverse violations, including violence, manipulation, misuse of things. You
have criminal acts.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Are they dangerous to society? I think that's the big thing.
I don't think they're dangerous. If they were really committed
to comedy, they would have said, no, we're not dangerous
to anybody else.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
The people we didn't like, we already got rid of them.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh, Chad, I don't know what the whole story is.
We probably never will, but I was kind of shocked
that they didn't get Now, Lyle has his hearing today
and you never know. And that was It's again, they
were victims of something, but they weren't victims if that

(04:29):
makes sense. Yes, what happened to them, what perpetrated this,
if indeed true, the sexual abuse and stuff like that,
the beatings, they were victims of that, but they got
revenge that had nothing to do with being victimized in
the moment. And what I mean by that is if

(04:49):
they were being attacked.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
In that moment.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
And you reacted to that, it would have been a
different story. But this was a calculated, planned thing. I
do believe they'll eventually get out, and again, Lyle'll make
it out today. Who knows, And I don't even know
if do they let you out on the day of
or do you have to go back. It's a good question.
We'll figure that out. Meanwhile, speaking of California. Now that

(05:17):
Texas has done what Texas has done to red ditch
go and get them five. Kevin Newsom, he did it.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yes, we'll fight fire with fire. Yes we will push back.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
It's not about whether we play hardball anymore. It's about
how we play hardball.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's coming hard. So they got it through everything. Now
it goes on the ballot. Now it's up to the
California ends if they're going to do this or not.
My belief is this going to be close, because it'll
go on the ballot the referendum to see if they
can redistrict. The question is do Californians want it? And

(05:53):
based on the early polling, they're not thrilled by that,
and that includes the Republicans and Democrats.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
But he loves to fight and fire with fire.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
This is radical rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging
of an election, destroying, vandalizing this democracy, the.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Rule of law. So I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
I know some people's sensibilities.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I respect and appreciate that, but right now, with all
due respect, we're walking down a damn different path. We're
fighting fire with fire, and when to punch these sons
in the mouth.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
See he is ready to roll. I'm gonna do that, man.
I'll tell you what we're.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's not rigging an election. As far as the act
of redistricting. The way that you redistrict, well that's the
rigging part.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
But the act of.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Going we want to redistrict, that's not rigging an election.
The redistricting part is I mean, we no longer live.
We're gonna talk to Jim Kennedy a.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Little bit later.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Kennedy inst to do public policy research as he's been
following this hard. We don't live in a democracy, it's
a republic. Within that democracy is part of that. I
don't even think we live in a representative republic at
all anymore. We lived in a rigged republic based on

(07:27):
two parties that play a game that is very similar
to each other, and in the dark you probably couldn't
tell the difference between the two.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
And all that has me and should have you pissed off.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
They're picking us, We're not picking them. That includes Texas
and California and many other states. I was reading last
night twenty one states for Democrats that are jerry mandered
in cult redistrict to whatever you are, twenty two four
Republicans so think about that. Forty three of our fifty

(08:07):
states are states that give one party such a massive
advantage and leaves very little representation of the people in
that state and the party of which they have chosen,
which is frustrating.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
We should all be frustrated. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
And my hope is that all of this will shine
a light on the insanity of jerry mandering, oh, excuse me, redistricting.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Maybe it will, maybe it won't.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Meanwhile, Donald Trump last night, so yesterday he was on
a Tod Staarns I think his name show. He said
he was gonna I'm gonna go out. I'm gonna be
with the people tonight. I'm gonna go patrol with them.
He didn't really patrol with them, but he did sit
down and go out and kind of give him a
pep talk before.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
One of the things he talks about grass.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
See, one of the things we're going to be redoing
is your parks.

Speaker 8 (09:03):
I'm very good at grass because I have a lot
of golf courses all over the place.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
I know more about grass than any human being, I think,
anywhere in the world.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
And we're gonna be regressing all of your parks, all
brand new sprinkler systems, the best that you can buy.
Just like Augusta. It'll look like Augusta, it'll look like
more importantly, Trump National Golf Club.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
That's it makes me laugh so hard because it's just
over the top. Nobody's ever known anything about grass like
I have the grass. I know grass more than I.
You want Bermuda, I can get that right, A little
bit of that, you just want straight up?

Speaker 6 (09:39):
What I know.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I'm kind of grass is out there, Kentucky bluegrass. Just
nobody's ever known more about grass than me. And he
talked to them about you know what's what they're about.
This is great. We're gonna stay here for a while.
We're not going anywhere. We're gonna get this crime thing down.
We're gonna make it look amazing again in DC. And

(09:59):
you have to think, I think, are you going to
do it elsewhere? Because I feel like that may be
something that's going to happen.

Speaker 9 (10:07):
Who's a visit is just the latest example of the
President escalating his fight with Democrats over everything, but he
thinks that this fight over the crackdown on crime is
a winning one. Trump's decision to visit the guard wasn't
meant for the folks living in the district.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
It was meant for you in the middle of America.
Eighty percent of the people.

Speaker 9 (10:29):
Living in DC despise the takeover, despite the fact that
crime is down substantially. It goes to show you how
real the hatred for President Trump is in DC. There's
a number of people in DC who would prefer more
crime to Donald Trump getting a win, and.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
A lot of that has to do with the fact
that they think he is a criminal and all that
he is doing is criminal. So criminals stopping criminals in
their mind, well, that's a no go.

Speaker 9 (11:00):
The President has portraying a strong on crime persona to
the rest of the nation, and the message is a
day or if you will, to democratic mayors and governors
who let crime run rampant.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Number one, he's going to call them out.

Speaker 9 (11:15):
But number two, basically he's saying that if you don't
clean up your cities, I President Trump will do.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
It for you.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think that's the message he's sending, no doubt about that.

Fire my motor.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Again.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's fine.

Speaker 17 (14:41):
There is no legal basis. There is no house rule
basis for what is being done.

Speaker 18 (14:48):
They didn't say anything. They walked by respectfully. They didn't
give anybody any issues. I don't have a power law enforcement.

Speaker 19 (14:54):
We're all working for the same goal, very simple goal.

We got a little real of surprise that is straight
ahead right here on The Chad.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Benson Show, Son Chad Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It is that time of the week where we have
a little bit of fun, spin the wheel and find
out what stories what these are the stories we didn't
get to this week because there was a lot of
other stuff and we at times have some twenty thirty
forty stories.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
We got audio, but we never had a chance to
get to it.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
So what we do is we just number one, two
through four, five, six, seven, eight, and we just spin
the wheel and wherever it lands, we play that number
find out what story. It is called the Wheel of surprise,
spinning the wheel, we're going to get to number eleven.

Speaker 16 (18:48):
I'm very happy to that we are.

Speaker 14 (18:49):
Having so many applicants and that not be into turret
by what they kind of see going on out there.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
That right there is todd lyons.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
So if you guys don't know, ICE is recruiting and
they're paying big bonuses and there's no age limit. So
if you're sixty five apparently and you can pass all
the stuff, they're willing to give you a go at it.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
And the money is good.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
But what has happened now that they brought it to
the forefront is the fact that they're getting a ton
of people and not just Superman Dean Kaine to apply.

Speaker 14 (19:23):
The good thing is that we can be picking up
we don't have to just take anybody or try to
have a gil Fit Dex. We're paying to a round
hole just to get numbers because we have some wing
qualified auplets, which is.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
A good We've had a lot of issues recruiting, I
mean police right now, just police in general.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's tough to get you know, who wants that gig.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
And for us, even though there's a massive pushback by
a lot of protesters and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
The money's good.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
You offer some people enough money and give them an incentive,
they're going to come on out and do something.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
The question is what's a training like?

Speaker 14 (20:00):
It's on things we actually count in a field. So
you could see in a footchaate's going over a neighborhood fans,
you could see having crawled through the pipe. You could
see having a step through a window.

Speaker 22 (20:08):
Right.

Speaker 14 (20:09):
So what we want to do is we want to
make sure that when the recruits leave here, they're actually
physically capable to do the jobs in the task they
may have to.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Do with a field.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Oh how about those apples.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
I wonder if they should have some sort of ice reserves.
Wouldn't that make it easier? You think, what if I'm
not great at all the stuff?

Speaker 14 (20:29):
We also won't send someone into the fields.

Speaker 16 (20:30):
We can't do these debates.

Speaker 14 (20:31):
We're not gonna put someone in a situation they can't
you know, do this at the timeframe allotted. We're not
gonna sick someone in a situation where they're going to
get hurt. You get hurt, you know, making arrest of
the public.

Speaker 23 (20:41):
Things like that.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Oooh, it's called the wheel surprise. We spind the wheel
find out where it lands and what story it is?
Number two, I'm hosting the first acual ball Fest this

(21:08):
Saturday in Philadelphia.

Speaker 24 (21:10):
A local rapper is hosting a festival to honor the
community he joined only recently.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
What's the tagline saying there?

Speaker 6 (21:16):
Oh, it says for the ball and the Ball that Heart.

Speaker 24 (21:19):
It's a free music festival called the bald Fest. And
over the past few weeks Robert Capron here has been
going viral for this idea. He initially was just planning
for some friends at a skatepark.

Speaker 6 (21:28):
The ball community just needed a little loved. They needed
someone with their arms out.

Speaker 24 (21:33):
Robert's journey to bald and this culminated earlier in the
year when he decided to just say enough and shave
off his receding hairline. He says, immediately he started making
so many new friends.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
I got adupted into the ball secret society in that day.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I didn't know there was a secret society. I am
bald because I shaved my head. I've never understood the
people that want to hold on. I mean, granted, there
are some people have much better dome and that they're
fine being bald some people, but I've never been one

(22:06):
of those.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
People like, I gotta have hair. I've got to have hair.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
And by the way, my daughter saw a picture of me.
They were going through pictures the other day on my
wife's phone and she saw a picture of.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Me with hair.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
She's like, daddy had hair, and she goes, but he
has no hair and now he's bald, and she's like,
your dad shaves his head.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
His hair would be out of control if we allowed it.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
But now that I know, there's a secret society that
will never happen, because I want to join this secret
society at bald Folk.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
Under these circumstances.

Speaker 24 (22:37):
Soon, he decided to combine this newfound family with his
hip hop persona known as Abstract Love, and launched this
one day musical celebration of what he calls bald culture.
Special bald festivities include providing bald caps to the first
one hundred people who show up with hair, a barber
on standby to shave people's heads, and a sunscreen station.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Because you know, so.

Speaker 14 (22:56):
Many people reached out to me like, yo, we can't
bake in the sun all day.

Speaker 13 (23:00):
We got our ball his kill us.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
It is a festival to celebrate quote the bald life.

Speaker 24 (23:06):
Now in these last few days leading up to bald Fest,
Robert has been discussed on local radio stations like WHYY,
and the Philadelphia Inquirer profiled him with the headline it's
very real.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
I listen to some good music, support the culture.

Speaker 24 (23:18):
And while yes, this is great publicity for his music,
Robert also wants to use this event to offer support
to folks going through the same tough decision that he
just had to make himself.

Speaker 13 (23:27):
Shaving my hair ball has been like the best thing
for me.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yes, don't hold on to it.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
Kids.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
If it gets a little squirrely and you know that
in the middle of it you got that friar tuck
thing going on, just do what you need to do
and go ball. It's the wheel of surprise, all right.
So far we've talked about ice and bald people.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
What shall be next to you? Say? Number six? This
is my brand new album.

Speaker 12 (24:06):
Taylor Swift might have been holding vinyl when she unveiled
her twelfth album, but she's also selling a sparkly orange cassette,
a sign that even this archaic format can have its
own new era.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
My mother was about to throw this away.

Speaker 12 (24:23):
Is that Tames the data company Illuminate found In twenty
twenty three, more than four hundred and thirty six thousand
cassettes were sold in the US, way up from eighty
thy and twenty fifteen. People who weren't even born when
cassettes were the norm are feeding the rebound, with nine
percent of gen Z music listeners purchasing a cassette in
the past year.

Speaker 23 (24:44):
I think cassettes of most human music format, and part
of the reason is you don't skip around from song
to song, you don't fast forward or rewind, and you're
just kind of surrendering to the music as the artist
designed it to flow from song to song.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
I love it, And can we be honest just for
a second about cassettes. How can I make a mixtape
if you won't listen to my cassette because we don't
have a cassette everybody.

Speaker 13 (25:13):
Man.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I just try to explain to some of the younger
kids at work about how important mixtape was. A couple
of weeks ago. I'm like, you see somebody you like them,
You're like, hey, and you'd give it to them. That's
how I feel about you. And I have all the
cool stuff on there. This is my poem of love

(25:33):
that I've recorded off the radio.

Speaker 12 (25:37):
Rough Trade record store in New York actually has a
cassette section.

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Cassette's my favorite analog medium personally.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Why is that?

Speaker 25 (25:46):
Well, they're light, they're portable, they're relatively inexpensive, and if
you still want that analog sound, you got it.

Speaker 12 (25:52):
And the cassette sold here aren't used, they're new. Olivia,
Alexander's sister, collects them.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
I was confused because she doesn't have cassette.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Player, so she can't listen to them.

Speaker 26 (26:02):
No, I've been working on getting her cassette player for
either her birthday or Christmas.

Speaker 12 (26:06):
But she yeah, at least she could display the cassettes
like trophies, something that can't do with streaming, though. When
hundreds of feet of delicateape are wrapped around to spools,
snags are inevitable.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
If the tape gets out, you have to take a
pencil and put it through the thing and rewind it
and hope it sounds good.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
It'll be fine. I was so good at that. Oh
it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Everybody knows right, you know, you've been there. The tape
gets wiry and they kind of twists. Then you pull
it right and you start to go up and they
pull it down a little. It just I was an
expert at that tapes are coming back. They're not all
the way back, but you know, Vinyls made it come back.
I think the I think a younger generation in particular,

(26:55):
they are longing for something that isn't so instantaneous and
that kens back to a day that they didn't get
to share. Because I think my generation Gen X had
is the best as far as we had both worlds.
We grew up without the internet, free play, living a
great life, having you know, you know, cassette tapes, having

(27:16):
you know, albums, having eventually the CD world and into
the world of streaming, so we've lived in both.

Speaker 12 (27:25):
Still, cassettes have been loyal companions over the years. I
think we'll go to the Little Bohemian Rhapsody, gentlemen, whether
in a car in Wayne's world, we're tucked in a
portable walkman, and Guardians of the Galaxy, we're hoisted high
above your head in a blaring boombox that doesn't double
as a phone. The cassette reminds us sometimes it's nice

(27:46):
to rewind.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
So cool, so cool cassettes.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Baby, I've got to make some mixtape for you guys,
and Let's spend the wheel one more time.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Jack Jett de Debt det det Where shall we pull?
Numero eight.

Speaker 27 (28:13):
Journey General of Louisiana has filed a lawsuit against popular
video game platform Roadblocks. The state is alleging that the
company has failed to protect child users from sexual exploitation
and facilitated the distribution of child's sexual abuse material. This
also comes as eight at least eight other lawsuits who

(28:34):
are filed this year related to Roadblocks. New Nation's Marcus
Espinoza's here with more and Marcus, I've told you my
kid and his friends have played hours on this platform.
They've played it for years. What exactly is are they
alleging here?

Speaker 13 (28:46):
Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 26 (28:47):
It's a massively popular game with children. Millions of children
play this, right, So that's something to keep in mind here.
And so the Louisiana Attorney General says that Roadblocks, a
platform used by these children, is leaving children on protected
here and creating an environment where predators can flourish and
kids are left unprotected. Now, the lawsuit claims the company

(29:07):
prioritize profits ahead of safety. Here's what the ag said
when laying out those allegations.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Now, I'm gonna tell you, Roadblocks is so popular.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
So it was creating two thousand and six. And if
you've got kids, grandkids, maybe some of you were old
enough to you know, young enough but old enough where
you're listening to the talk radio, but at the same
time you grew up kind of playing this. Because I've
got some twenty SEMs listening to me though I've played Roadblocks,
So it's not like a lot of other games that

(29:38):
are out there. It's a blend of social media and
game development platforms. She go on there and there are
so many people that play every single day. I think
there's about one hundred and ten plus million, but a
lot of them are younger, and you know they can
do you know, pet simulator, business management. I mean, you
have all this crazy stuff. My kids play it so much,

(30:01):
even though my older ones and they'll play with their sister.
But I always tell everybody you got to be careful.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
And this goes back to also understanding that you have
to participate in your kid's life.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
That includes checking things out and making sure you tell
them and remind them they're wackados out there.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Be careful about that.

Speaker 28 (30:26):
Roadblocks knowingly and intentionally fails to provide notice to parents
and child users of its extreme dangers, and it created,
curated and perpetuated an online environment where child sex predators thrive, united,

(30:48):
hunt and victimize kids.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
That is true, Well, the internet is that way. I mean,
you can't just blame it on a singular game. But
because Roadblocks really kind of caters to a younger, more
naive because they're younger.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Group of kids, it is easier to sway then.

Speaker 26 (31:08):
So if we take a look at just the platform's
own data, it shows just how many young people are
using the game. Twenty percent are under the age of nine,
another twenty percent are between nine and twelve years old.
In a statement, Roadblocks called the allegations categorically untrue, adding
that it has invested heavily in safety, including AI tools

(31:29):
that flag dangerous language, age controls, as well as moderated chats.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
The company says it reported.

Speaker 26 (31:36):
Twelve hundred potential instances of child exploitation to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children just in the back
half of this year. Roadblock says it will continue expanding
those safety features there even as legal pressure bills, But
the fact that they flagged twelve hundred on their own
is concern and of itself.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well, what are you going to do?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Are you going to say kids, you guys can't play
game where you're interacting in a place where there are
other people also playing in a game and joining a world.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
That's a tough thing to do.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
It's about making sure that your kids are aware of things,
understanding what's going on in their world, because no matter
what you do, there are people out there that are awful.
They're predators, They're looking for opportunities. And it doesn't matter
if you kids are playing sports or if they're online,

(32:29):
they're out there.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Just be aware.

Time of the program where you learn a little something
something about the youth of America, especially when it comes
to their vernacular.

Speaker 29 (34:27):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
All right.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
The urban word of the day is shreking, the dating term.
It means that you are lowering your attraction level. You're
not attracted to them looks wise. You do this because
your expectation is I'm going to date down based on

(35:00):
my appearance.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
I'm a nine or ten, you're a five.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
But because you're so happy to have me and my looks,
you will treat me like a princess or a king.

Speaker 6 (35:14):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (35:15):

Breaking News, break brief, breaking news.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
John Boldon, former national security advisor to Donald Trump and
his first administration, just had his house ritten by the.

Speaker 30 (37:06):
If A, sources familiar with the matter to tell ABC
News the search of John Bolton's house in Maryland, just
outside Washington, d c. And being carried out by the FBI,
is related to allegations that Bolton is in possession of
classified records. FBI Director Cashptel posted on X Friday morning quote,
no one is above the law. FBI agents on mission.

(37:27):
It wasn't immediately clear what sensitive records federal investigators believe
Bolton may have possessed. Bolton has long been a target
at President Trump's iire. Most recently, Trump has taken aim
at Bolton's criticisms of the President's engagements with Russian President
Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
So, yeah, he doesn't like Trump at all, partially because
Trump is Trump, and eventually he wears everybody down if
you have any pushback whatsoever, and the pushback that.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Trump had is John Bolton is one of those deacons
who wants to be at every war possible.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
He would invade a kindergarten if given the opportunity, and
he doesn't like the way things have gone with the Pooter.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
I continue to go.

Speaker 7 (38:20):
Back to this.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
If your goal is to have peace, at some point
in time, you have to speak to the person that
holds all the cards. A week ago, we were talking
about their big meeting, right and this big historic thing
that's happening in Alaska, and everybody's like, I can't believe
Trump's doing this. You have to talk to the guy now.
I said there was gonna be no peace, and.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
People got on me.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
You're horrible, You mean, you hate Trump, you hate everything
he does. No, I'm telling you the truth and it
has nothing to do with Trump. The reality of this
situation is Trump has no cards to play none, zip zilch, nada,
no cards to play in this Europe has very very

(39:06):
little in the way of options. Their cards pretty crappy
as well, and we're finding that out yesterday.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Everybody like, Trump's embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Look what Pewter did because Peoter just laid the wood
hit a couple of factories that we actually have and
produce electronics ad and it was one of the days
that when you look at the war, may have been
one of the biggest days as far as how many
things Russia launched and went after. And yes, everybody's like,

(39:41):
do you think he did that on purpose? What hit
the factories the US factory? Of course he did, That's
who he is. Is there going to be a meeting
not for a while.

Speaker 25 (39:52):
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saying the only way Putin would
sit down with Zelensky is if quote all issues requiring
consideration at the HI highest level ar thoroughly worked out first.
Lavrov suggests that would require a long process of lower
level meetings to hammer out the details. Zelenski said Moscow
strategy is clear. Quote, they are trying to wriggle out

(40:14):
of the need to hold a meeting. They do not
want to end this war.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
No, no, he doesn't have to.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
All the cards are in his hands, so you're not
going to be able to force him to do something.
He wants to keep the war going. I say it,
every single day until he satiates his appetite, until he
gets to that point where the next bite becomes too painful,
too much. He's going to continue to go. Right now,

(40:43):
he's still a little bit hungry, no doubt about that.
We go from there, and again we'll have more on
Bolton in the House being rated. I don't know what
they're looking for. Apparently he has something of value according
to the administration that maybe classified.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
So I do I think it's political.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
I think it's one hundred percent political, But I think
vast majority of things that happened in politics are one
hundred percent political. Like yesterday, Trump won his appeal in
a New York appeals court over the ridiculousness of the
So you guys remember the loans he got and how

(41:27):
he lied about this to get better rates and all
this stuff. He won his appeal yesterday. Now it's not
over the appeally. One was the amounts of restitution he
was supposed to pay, which was insane and I'm trying
to figure out, how did you come up to that?

(41:48):
And was it five hundred plus million dollars? And this
is remember when they brought the bankers up that he
was dealing with, and all of them said, so did
mister Trump borrow money from me?

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Yes? Did he pay back yes? Was it on time yes?

Speaker 6 (42:02):
And early?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
And we charged him and he paid everything, no victim whatsoever.

Speaker 16 (42:08):
If ultimately he does not have to pay a half
billion dollars and he had to arrange to put some
of it in escrow while this appeals pending, but it
is not the final step because it is going to
go to New York State's highest court, known as the
Court of Appeals. The Attorney General, Latitia James said her
office would appeal, attempting perhaps to reinstate the whole penalty.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Which.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
I have a feeling it's eventually going to get thrown out.
It should never been brought. And that's the politics as
he is. You know, we're talking about Bolton. There's a
political thing. How many people said while they were running
for office, not at the federal level, even at the

(42:55):
state level.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
That their main goal was to get Trump, and.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
She did it.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Everybody knew was bst Remember the I can't even remember
the judge's name. He was such a clown. Though he
valued Mara a Lago at like a ridiculous price, like
twenty million dollars some it was just it was so absurd,
and the lot like next to Trump, which was nowhere

(43:26):
near the size, and it was not developed.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
It was just a lot.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Was selling for way more than mar Algo. That's the
kind of insanity that this judge threw out there, as
if he knew I know real estate. No you don't,
No you don't, so settle your ass down. But that
was political, And whatever's happening with Bolton today, I think
it's absolutely political.

Speaker 7 (43:54):
That's just me.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
I'm not saying he doesn't have anything.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I'm sure if you go to every X secretary of something,
you'll probably find something that they have that they probably
shouldn't have.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
But yes, this was political. That's my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three atch Hadbenson shows your acts your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more back to stuff that will affect us in
the coming weeks, months, and years. Redistricting Texas, it's done
in Dustin. California has got over the first hurdle. Now

(44:35):
they're going to get it on the Now that it's
going to be on the ballot, that's the second hurdle.
So they can redistrict and take on Texas if you will.
With their adding five, California is hoping to do the same.

Speaker 31 (44:49):
We will be the first state in US history to,
in the most democratic way submit to the people of
our state the ability to determine their own maps. That
simply has not been none.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
They're not though they're not the people, aren't you are
You're giving the people the chance to vote. Do you
want to redistrict, because look at how evil Texas is.
So we're going to redistrict, But you're not allowing the
people themselves to draw them map. You're openly admitting that

(45:31):
you're going to jerry mander as is Texas. In fact,
twenty two Republican states are jerrymandered, twenty one Democrat states
are jerrymandered.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Those are.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Pretty good numbers right there, right If you want to
make sure that you're it's a I said it last Aaron,
I'll sit again. It's this bizarre world of we're representative republic, right,
that's who we are. Within that the democracy plays itself out,
and it's a sham of a democracy at this point

(46:10):
in time with a lot of things, because it is
so skewed. They're picking us, we're not picking them. That's
why I said yesterday it's scary that the primaries are
far more important than the general in a lot of
ways because they've rigged it that way. And it takes

(46:33):
either a massive shift in demographics or something has to
be so bad for there even to be a competitive seat.

(46:53):
And the number one thing is a shift in demographics.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
But at this point in.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Time, if you can draw up all of your own districts,
shouldn't even matter anymore, which is absurd, absolutely absurd. Keeping
an eye on the current breaking news, breaking news, the
FBI has rated John Bolton's home. Wouldn't it have have

(47:19):
been hilarious if they went over to Michael Bolton's home.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
That would not have been funny.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
By the way, John Bolton very nice house in Bethesda, Bethesda, Maryland.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
So why did they rate it? They say he may
have some stuff that is.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Top secret, classified, super double triple classified. Probably a portion
of the leak investigation is he leaking certain things as well.
So he was the national security advisor for Trump. It
was a third one because you know, Trump, especially in
the first term, kind of went through some folks. I

(48:02):
do like the story Trump tells though, when Trump would
go talk to other nations that potentially could be hostile
and he would say, hey, you guys should really deal
with me, because the guy behind me, he'd point to Bolton,
he wants to bomb you. He wants to bomb everybody.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
And he wasn't lying about that.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
I'll tell you that right now at Chat Benson Show,
is your act, your insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Speaking
of Trump, will talk about what he did last night
hanging out with the National Guard and the police and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
In DC. I was bombed.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
I thought he was going to go on a ride along.
They were going to give him a badge, but that
didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Birch Gold.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
There's gold and then there are hills, and there should
be gold in your life when it comes to protecting
what is going on globally, I'll say it straight up.
The dollar not doing great Gold's made a move, but
understand how overvalued so much of this stuff is, and
I feel like we're heading towards a bubble. Have Birch

(48:58):
get you some information so you can say, a look
at what you need to do to protect yourself in
the event that something goes wrong. Birch is amazing, A
plus rated by the Better Business Bureau. There who I
go to when I need precious metals, and we've got
my family as well. Text to word Benson to ninety eight,
ninety eight, ninety eight. Today, they'll get you out a

(49:19):
bunch of info on how you can move stuff over,
including an IRA or four one K and have it
backed tax sheltered by Gold or if you want to
own the physical they can help you with that.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Text to word Benson to ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight.
Today for Birch Gold, this is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I was kind of bummed because I thought Trump was
going to go out on patrol last night, because he
mentioned that yesterday that he was going to go out
with them, but he he spoke to them instead, got
you know, all the cops and everybody together to you know,
give them their pep talk as they go out, and
one of the things you talk about, of course is grass.

Speaker 7 (50:10):
You see, one of the things we're going to be
redoing is your parks.

Speaker 8 (50:13):
I'm very good at grass because I have a lot
of golf courses all over the place.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
I know more about grass than any human being, I think,
anywhere in the world.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
And we're going to be regressing all of your parks,
all brand new sprinkler systems, the best that you can buy,
just like Augusta. It'll look like Augusta, it'll look like
more importantly, Trump National Golf Club.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
That's everything is so over the top. Nobody knows more
about grass than me. I've you know, before I arrived
on the planet, there was no grass. And then I
came and I said, let there be grass, and there
was grass. But he was very thankful last night to
the cops working hard. Numbers seem to be quite low.

Speaker 7 (50:50):
Well, I just want to thank everybody very much for
being here. I wanted to do this. We've had some.

Speaker 19 (50:57):
Incredible results and results have come out out and it's
like a different place.

Speaker 7 (51:02):
It's like a different city.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
It's the capital.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
It's going to be the best in the world, the
best never be better, and when I leave, it'll fall
apart again. But while I'm here, fantastic the numbers. You know,
they're down. There's no doubt about this, and this is
sending it a big message to the rest of the
cities out there. Hey, guess what, guys, you better figure

(51:28):
something out or we're coming now. I don't want any
militarization of our big cities. I think most of you
out there, even people on the right, you don't want
that either. Am I opposed to a show of force
with the FBI and.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
No, that's happened and continues to happen on a daily basis,
and other parts of the country.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
There will be a surge here there. And the reason
is simple. If you're I have out of control crime,
having that kind of law enforcement presence will slow things down.
The issue long term is you're not staying there forever,
and eventually things are going to go back to the
way they were. And if you haven't fixed some of

(52:13):
the problems that caused some of this, it doesn't mean anything.
It's just a temporary bliph three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show, is
your ex your Insta and all the other things right
here in the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (52:30):
We're going to stay here for a while. We want
to make this absolutely perfect.

Speaker 8 (52:33):
It's our capital, and I guess it used to be
many years ago, say, but it certainly not had a
very good run. And you've got to be strong. You
gotta be tough. You got to do your job. Whatever
it takes to do your job.

Speaker 7 (52:47):
You got to do your job.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Let me know what you think.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
Meanwhile, last night Immigration alligator Alcatraz not.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
So fast.

Speaker 32 (52:57):
Judge ruled state and federal authorities failed to consider a
potential environmental damage before building the facility. The camp can
stay open for now, but it cannot take on any
additional detainees.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Does that include alligators.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
I don't know how many people are there, and they're
all rushing every state, you know, every red state is
rushing to open up some sort of detention center and
give it a name, right they want to give it.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
It's not it's branding. It's got to be about branding.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
You have to have a name or it doesn't work.
I know here in Tennessee we're getting some I don't
know what what you call Texas.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Oh the Alamo. True, if you gave Trump the opportunity
to reopen.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
The Alamo and we're going to flip the script this time,
he would totally be about that. You know he would,
You absolutely know he would he. In fact, if he
hears this, he might be It's a great idea, it's
a wonderful idea. It's not that big, sir, what's left
of it isn't that big. So we'll see what happens
with the rest of these and we'll get to uh

(54:00):
more on immigration a little bit later.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Reach out to across all of our social media. We
love hearing from every one of you.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. It's your ex your Insta and
YouTube coming up. Are we addicted to phones? I think
we are technology.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
It's more than just a christ we'll talk about that
straight to head Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
We're keeping an eye out on the FBI's raid of
John Bolton's home.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
We'll do a little bit more of that next hour.
But I came across this this week and it's very
interesting because.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Having kids with electronics, having electronics myself. By that, I
mean computer that apparently makes phone calls. I'm not sure
about that. I've never done it. They call it a smartphone,
but I've never done the phone thing. You guys get
where I'm going with this. I mean, we don't use
this thing really as a phone, but you know what,
we do use it for a crutch because it's an addiction.

Speaker 13 (55:19):
I have a problem, an addiction. I'm addicted to my phone.
I go to check an email and before i know it,
I've watched videos for an hour. Well, who cares, I'm old,
But I'm told kids are being hurt.

Speaker 33 (55:33):
Attention spans are declining.

Speaker 13 (55:35):
Social psychologist Jonathan Heyde wrote this book about it.

Speaker 33 (55:39):
Levels of anxiety, depression, self harm were pretty stable from
the late nineties through twenty ten. All of a sudden,
the rates go up, way up, especially for girls.

Speaker 13 (55:48):
He says it's because smartphones changed play based childhood with
friends to a phone based childhood alone.

Speaker 33 (55:56):
Once they get a smartphone. As you see in the graph,
time with friends plug That's one of the best things
you can do as a kid is hang out with
your friends, joke around, have adventures. If your kids went
through puberty on a smartphone with social media, they came
out different than human beings before that.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
That's why I always talk about I feel like I
was in the best generation, Generation X, because we got
all of that, and then when we came of age,
the Internet started to take off. And then the next
thing you know, we've We've got everything in our hand
at our disposal twenty four.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
To seven, so we knew what it was like without
and then we created it.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
But I will tell you this, as much as they
talk about the phone addiction, and it is absolutely an addiction,
they designed it to be that way.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
They designed it to be addictive. We also overscheduled.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Kids wouldn't let him go outside because stranger danger was everywhere.
And yes, it is the most important thing is kids
hanging out with other kids, because that is many society.
You learn to play games, you invent them, you invent
the rules of the games, You overcome obstacles together. When

(57:17):
you have arguments, you overcome those things. You learn about that,
and we don't do that. That's why our kids are
also fat.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Yes, I mean, it is.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Amazing when you think about the numbers of kids who
are pre diabetic compared to when we were younger and
I'll tell you this.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
It has nothing to do with the chemicals and food.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
It doesn't. It has to do with the fact that
we don't do anything. I rode my bike, as many
of you probably remember, you rode yours.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
For hours.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
All day, sometime times all day. Like we get up
at nine in the morning. We were out of the house.
We'd ride, we'd go to the pool somewhere, we'd play
all day. We'd ride our bikes all night, we do jumps.
We were gone all day, and during that time I
would have a Hamburger where I could get it. You know,
Mom gave me some little bit of money. We'd have

(58:19):
cokes and all this stuff. But we were so active.
We don't do that anymore, not at all.

Speaker 7 (58:26):
He says.

Speaker 13 (58:27):
This change began in twenty twelve.

Speaker 33 (58:29):
The iPhone four has the first front facing camera. That's
twenty ten. Instagram comes out in twenty ten, but it
doesn't get popular until twenty twelve.

Speaker 34 (58:38):
I was working for a social media company.

Speaker 13 (58:40):
My son now makes us living speaking to students about
how they're falling's hook them.

Speaker 34 (58:44):
Social media companies make their money on advertising, which basically
means the more of your time that we can take
the more money we make.

Speaker 13 (58:50):
He says, it's like a slot machine.

Speaker 34 (58:54):
All the things we love about social media, those are
the reward in the slot machine. Experience using this stuff
becomes bored, bored, bored. That was funny, bored, bored, bored.
WHOA check that out. We get that hit every once
in a while, which is like the reward and the
slot machine that's there to keep us scrolling for hours

(59:15):
and hours at a time.

Speaker 33 (59:16):
The smartphone is an intrinsically a gambling machine.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
M a gambling machine. They're all built that way. They
built it not for entertainment, for addiction. And they'll tell
you that we've got the world at our fingertips. And
I've said, the world changed completely, even more so in
my mind when the camera went on the front of

(59:41):
the phone, because then we became about ourselves, which is
that was always I thought, ooh, this is neat and weird.
But they gamified this. They gamified it, and you're looking
for dopamines hits, and that's what you get, dopamine. And

(01:00:04):
if you've been to casino, you ever walk by and
you see those people that just they look like zombies.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Manah, yeah, it's that's what they've done.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
I walk to work every day and I'll be listening
to whatever I'm listening to, usually some sort of you know,
podcast or something, and I have my head up and
I'm walking, and I'll walk by twenty people. Most of
them are younger because we get Vanderbilt right next to us.
They never look up ever, They're looking at their phones

(01:00:35):
and their zombies.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
That is crazy.

Speaker 13 (01:00:38):
Height says some apps are worse than others.

Speaker 33 (01:00:41):
Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok. Those are the things that really
shatter attention spans in terms of exposure to things that
are really dangerous. Snap is the worst in terms of
destroying your ability to pay attention. TikTok is the worst
in terms of destroying a teenage girl's sense of confidence,
self esteem, body image.

Speaker 13 (01:01:00):
Instagram is the worst itsas social media affects boys and
girls differently.

Speaker 33 (01:01:05):
If we check in on the kids at age fourteen,
the girls are doing worse. They're more depressed and anxious,
they're more messed up. But as they age, the girls
are much more likely to have gone to college, gotten
a job, and moved out of their parents' home. Boys
are more likely to still be in the parents' basement
playing video games. They never grew up. Real life is
incredibly boring compared to a video game or porn. Real

(01:01:26):
women are boring compared to porn, and they're difficult, whereas
porn is easy. Each of these products is harming literally
millions of children every year, they say, so they know it.
All three of these companies, Meta, TikTok, and Snap those
are the ones that basically own childhood right now, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
So spot On and the video game and we've had
my uncle on and we'll have them on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
The show in the next week or so to talk
about this particular thing along with all the stuff we
do with Ai.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
But he was one of the creators out there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Blizzard created World of Warcraft and you know all these games,
Yablo and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
He said, when we were younger and they were putting
these things together.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
What made the game change tremendously is when they started
to put badges that you could go and collect in
World Warcraft, and that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Became the thing that people wanted to do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
They gamified the game within it where it was then
about collecting, which made it a little bit about oh
I got to do this, I got to do this,
and it kept people that dopamine hit over and over
and over and over again. And then yeah, the porn thing,
that's no doubt about that. With the guys, no doubt
about that. I like the Jonathan height though, at least

(01:02:43):
said and the girls are difficult.

Speaker 13 (01:02:45):
Teachers complain. Phone addiction makes it harder to teach.

Speaker 33 (01:02:49):
When you and I were in school, imagine if they
said you can take your TV into class, you couldn't
possibly learn. Teachers can't get through to students.

Speaker 13 (01:02:57):
These are big problems. And phones are addictive, but to
these really wrecked kids lives. When I was born, experts
claimed comic books wrecked kids' lives. Then they worried that
video games make kids violence.

Speaker 33 (01:03:12):
These games teach a child to enjoy inflicting torture.

Speaker 13 (01:03:17):
But as violent games became more popular, youth violence declined.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Yeah, the video games got a bad music did too.
Remember when it was all music and it was you know,
the you know, the Satanic panic and all that kind
of stuff. It is the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
What hurts us is our addiction to it. It owns us.
We don't own it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
We are a slave to it. We are, and I
am as guilty as anybody. We are absolutely a slave
to our phones because it's not a phone, and we
always say it's a phone, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
It is a computer.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
That we spend a vast majority of our time on.
What did we talk about last week? The average American
scrolls for eighty six miles a year. Think about that.
What is a scroll two inches? Think about that for
a second. Let's do the numbers here on how far
that is. Okay, I've done the numbers, and by I

(01:04:30):
put it into the machine, dumb machine, that's the best
of dumb machines.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
And are you ready for this?

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
So one mile five two hundred and eighty feet one
foot twelve inches, So a mile is sixty three three
hundred and sixty inches. If we multiply that by eighty six,
we come out with five million, four hundred and forty
five thousand inches. One scroll six inches. You divide that

(01:05:02):
by six, it equals nine hundred and seven thousand scrolls
a year, So almost one million scrolls a year.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Holy freakin' Guaca Moley.

Speaker 13 (01:05:18):
Correlation does not equal causation. Psychologist Chris Ferguson says, we
don't know that smartphones cause real problems. Teen depression is
skyrocketing up one hundred and forty five percent for girls
since twenty ten.

Speaker 10 (01:05:31):
Teen.

Speaker 35 (01:05:31):
Suicide was actually very high in the early nineteen nineties,
which everybody's forgotten about, and.

Speaker 13 (01:05:37):
Then it DeFore social media, way before social media.

Speaker 33 (01:05:40):
It's true that there was a previous wave of suicide
that appears to be linked to letted gas. When you
ban leted gas, you no longer get so much lead
into the developing brain.

Speaker 13 (01:05:50):
We want debate that in this video, but a number
of researchers say the data doesn't prove that smartphones harm kids.
Jonathan Heights's book is.

Speaker 35 (01:06:00):
Data Doctor Hate has cherry picked a lot of data,
and it presented only the data that support his narrative.

Speaker 33 (01:06:08):
I am not cherry picking. I am the only one
in this debate who has picked all of the cherries
and laid them out on a.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Blanket, and he's done that. No doubt data matters. And
do I think it's all of the cell phone world's fault.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
I think that's too easy to say. I think there's
a lot of things going on here. I mean, we
can probably draw from leaded gas to you know, Mom's
were home when we were younger.

Speaker 9 (01:06:44):
Right, we.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Still had an addiction to TV.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
If we had given the opportunity, but we were also
a lot freer that even if you took away phones. Today,
I don't think that freedom would be there based on
a lot of what has happened over the last up
teen years. Even though we've been becomes safer, the kids
don't have the freedom that they used to have. The
other thing, too, is every kid goes to college for

(01:07:09):
the most part, and in pushing that, we have overscheduled
our kids to the point where even if they didn't
have a smartphone, it doesn't matter because they have twenty
eight things scheduled this week.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Man, I see some of my friend's kids and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
They're the parents themselves, are just chauffeurs taking their kids
from one thing to another thing.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
There's a lot of things. Is it one thing?

Speaker 34 (01:07:39):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
But isn't an addiction? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Do some people handle it fine? I think a vast
majority do. I'm not saying there's not problems. At the
same time, we'd be lying if we didn't say there
was an addiction to the phones. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

It is Friday, the twenty second of August, in the
year of the Lord twoy twenty five. But this isn't
the only August twenty second. Oh, there's been plenty more.
And during those days in the past, stuff has happened
that has been more than just unique.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
It's been historic, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 13 (01:09:56):
Once upon in time, a long time ago.

Speaker 37 (01:10:00):
Now it's time for this day in history. We look
back on this set to find out what famous things
took place. All right, where shall we begin on this
day in history? Let's go back aways, shall we? Eighteen
fifty one, the first America's Cup, that's yachting. Nineteen ten,

(01:10:25):
Japan annexes Korea. There was a lot of that going on.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Nineteen twenty two, Michael Collins assassinated the Irish revolutionary leader's
killed amid civil unrest and political turmoil. In nineteen sixty five,
the infamous Bat Day brawl the San Francisco Giants. The
Hegantes pitcher Wan Marshall struck Dodgers catcher Johnny Roseboro with

(01:10:52):
a bat, sparking a dramatic on field scuffle that was chaos.
Nineteen sixty eight, First Papal visit to South America. Nineteen
seventy two, Dog Day Afternoon heightst begins. Of course, that
led to an amazing movie right nineteen eighty nine, Chey P.

(01:11:12):
Newton was murdered. He's co founder of the Black Panthers.
Nineteen ninety two Ruby Ridge Tragedy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
That's when the siege happened.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
FBI sniper killed Vicky Weaver, escalating the tensions nationwide. Nineteen
ninety six welfare reform. President Bill Clinton enacted sweeping welfare legislation.
Now I want you guys listen to this, shifting from
guaranteed payments to work based requirements. Oh my lord, crazy.

(01:11:44):
Some other things that happened on this day. If you
go way back, this is the day where the first
and I mean the first sighting of the Lochness Monster
supposedly have oh birthdays on this day to Alipa English
singer songwriter, Oh Torry Amos, Christian Wigg comedian all born

(01:12:04):

Three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex your Insta, YouTube,
Facebook and more right here in the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
Coming up our number three of the program.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Last Hour of the Week. John Bolton, they rated his
house the FB. I came in, Oh buddy. Jim Kennedy
of the Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research is going
to join the program.

Speaker 3 (01:12:34):
We're going to talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Redistricting, what California has to do now because it's not
as simple as what they have in Texas, and we're
going to talk a lot about that as well. We've
got your finally Friday Sounds and yes, a little bit
of what's trending. Reach out to us across all of
our social media. We love hearing from you. Three to two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four twenty three at chead Vents to show x, Insta,

(01:12:56):
YouTube and Facebook, our number three of the program.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
I'm straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
The raid has begun. Operation revenge, that's what I'm calling it.
Operation politics. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
John Bolton, by the way, they raided his house today.
You know they don't like each other, right, was he
a former security advisor of Trump. He's kind of a weasel,
very much a guy who'd like to invade everything. If
he comes to your house, he's not coming to your
house as a visitor. He's invading. So today they went

(01:14:04):
over to his house. Rated it the FBI. They don't
like each other. So it was like twenty nineteen, did
he quit? Did he get fired? Then he wrote a
book and then Trump sued him, and then the book
came out, and then he's just been, you know, on
Trump from from that moment on, he's been on Trump.

(01:14:24):
They didn't get along, and he is arguably one of
the biggest critics on TV on a daily basis as
telling anybody how bad Donald Trump is. Matt Tybee is
saying this is Russia Gate, this is part of the
Russiagate thing. I don't know if that to be true,
because I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
I mean, this was gonna happen. I can tell you
what's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
It's gonna happen to Clapper, probably gonna happen to Komy,
It's gonna happen to several others.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
And this should not be a surprise to anybody. Shouldn't
be thrilled by it. Well, they deserve it. Tit for tat, No,
thank you. Not a fan of that, that's me.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Trump is one hundred percent about getting back at a
group of people he feels wronged him.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
And some of that is true, and that includes the media.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Let's not pretend that they didn't right for everybody out there,
whogle Trump, you'd do no, no, no, let's not pretend
that there wasn't two and a half years of living
hell that started before even took the oath of office
in his first term about Russia and the lies and
the BS. Doesn't mean I want to see our Department
of Justice weaponized, but it's going to be. And they're

(01:15:35):
looking around going, well, they did it to me, I
should do it to them.

Speaker 25 (01:15:38):
While the search was underway, FBI director Cash Betel posted
on social media, no one is above the law. FBI
agents are on a mission. Now, some people would say
that mission is retribution. Bolton had become a prominent critic
of President Trump. The administration had already stripped him of
his security detailed despite an ongoing threat from Iran.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Retribution were totally. It's all political. It is all political,
one hundred percent. Do you think he has some stuff?
I think if you want to do everybody who had
a high level clearance in security, so national security, in
just about anything, they probably have some things they shouldn't have.

(01:16:24):
So let's not pretend do they know what they had
or didn't have that? I don't know, but they probably do.
So I think they're gonna. I think they're gonna look
at this guy the leaker, this guy leak and all
the stuff. This is all politics and it sucks because,
you know, I want to say, hey, what are you
guys doing for the American people? You know, Texas and

(01:16:47):
California are fighting over, you know, who can get the
most out of their redistricting so they can pick who
they want to have vote for them and make sure
the others doesn't have enough votes.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
What are you guys doing? We're doing the raid.

Speaker 38 (01:17:04):
Well, look, you know I agree with cash ptel on
the principle that no one should be above the law.
I don't know that that's true, and we know that
there's at least one person who's not. But in this case,
if they have real evidence and they did get a
court order, that's one thing. But to be suspicious is

(01:17:27):
to be I think wise here, given the history of
the relationship between these two guys, given the fact that
one of the first things the President did was target
Bolton by removing his security when they're clearly has been
a threat against him becauseous in government, because of the
things that he said about him, and because of the

(01:17:49):
things that John Bolton has said recently about the President.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
I'm suspicious, but I'm always suspicious about things like this,
and it is is frustrating because I'm not saying they're
not guilty, but you understand.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
The frustration that I think a lot of people feel.
I want to see.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
Our government work for us, and I feel like for Trump,
he's doing his own thing. Some of it it will work,
some of it won't. That's life, though, so but the
feeling that the most important thing is I'm gonna get back,
that's my frustration level for a lot of this we're

(01:18:33):
talking about it, you know. I mean, it's the same
thing going on with the ridiculousness of the redistricting and
the battle that's going on there.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
It's all about the politicians. It's never about the people.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
It's always about the politicians, the donors, the personal lives
of the politicians, the party itself. It's never about the people.
The people that are super maga, they'll be stoked. The
fox watchers, whoo this is it would get revenge.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
How is that helping?

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Honestly, everything has become so effing theatrical, and it is theatrical.
I'm talking about super super theatrical. Both parties are you know,
Gavin Newsom is the meme King Trump is out meming him.
It's just it's like I said yesterday when we're talking about,

(01:19:22):
you know, those little girls who died in the flood.
The whole reason they called the special election was for
what originally it was for that and to deal with weed,
because man, the weed Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
I continue to look at you and say, you.

Speaker 6 (01:19:37):
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
But it is all theatrics. It's all about branding. It's
like insane, it's reality TV at the worst. What if
Bolton did something maybe he did. We're gonna find out though.
Here's the other thing, and I said this to my
buddy Chris, and Chris Great, he's on before me on

(01:20:00):
my local show, and.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
Chris and I.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
First of all, he's very skeptical of Pam Bondi and whatnot,
which I totally am as well. But he also was skeptical,
and I told him, You've got to be more skeptical
about some of this stuff, I said, because the fear
here is you overreach and you deliver nothing, and then
you look even worse. And Epstein's a perfect example of that, which,

(01:20:27):
by the way, some people feel this is an Epstein,
you know, diverting move.

Speaker 3 (01:20:33):
All right, let me let me follow up on that.

Speaker 26 (01:20:35):
You think you were questioning the timing of this and
raising a possible connection to the turning over of some
documents of Epstein files to your committee today.

Speaker 7 (01:20:45):
Yeah, I think that.

Speaker 11 (01:20:46):
Look, I think today is the first day that the
DOJ has been required to comply with the subpoena. They
said that they would start producing documents today. Concerned that
they're going to slow walk that as well, but there's
tremendous clamor for these documents and transparency as to these files,

(01:21:08):
and as you know, both Donald Trump as well as
Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, are trying to
prevent that from happening, and they want to change the conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
And that's what you think this rate the search at
Bolton's house is about.

Speaker 6 (01:21:22):
It could be.

Speaker 11 (01:21:23):
I think that there's going to be repeated attempts to
distract from, you know, both the economy as well as
the Epstein files.

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
And the economies to me is the absolute most important. Normally.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
We talked to Zach, but he is taking his kid
out this week. He says, when you know, when the
kids get to a certain age, I take them all
on a trip. And he's going fishing in Alaska with
his son.

Speaker 3 (01:21:48):
And I thought that was cool. But the economy is
it's what it's truly about. Stupid for the average person.

Speaker 5 (01:21:55):
Like me.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
The expense of life, I mean, could god odd, that's
what people care about, no doubt, how much money are wasting.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
Do you feel like the economy is rocking and rolling?
So there's a lot to this. And yes, don't tell
me it's not political. It is apps a freaking loutly political.
And I said when he got back in there. My
hopes were high that he was going to be looking

(01:22:29):
forward more than he was going to be looking backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
We'll see three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three atch head Benson showsier X.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more. Last night I
got a great uh direct message from uh.

Speaker 7 (01:22:51):
Dude on.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Instagram and Kevin said, you know how much you appreciated
my passion for what's going on Palace sign and you
know what what could be done. I hear a lot
of stuff about you know, you being upset with the solutions,
and we've talked about some of the solutions, and look
the solutions right now. The first solution that has to
happen is this needs to stop, right That's the first

(01:23:15):
step towards the solution. And America needs to take more
of a role in getting a handle on the influence
and power that Israel and their government has. And I'm
talking about the LaHood Party and everything on our government.
But on top of that, it is going to have
to be, for a lack of a better term, a

(01:23:36):
government by committee that includes US, Europeans, several of the
Gulf nations, Middle East and they're going to have to
come in and it's going to be all hands on deck.
But they're going to have to figure that out in
Palestine and they're going to have to remove Israel from

(01:24:01):
that portion of being on that committee.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
And this is just me spitballing, and we'll get into
it more next week.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Because if you think that displacing what is your biggest
problem that you helped create Hamas, but you think displacing
all of the people in Palestine and sending them to
Sedan or wherever you come up with and then taking

(01:24:31):
over all.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
That land.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Is going to somehow go, We've got rid of this
this issue, this problem. Now, we're good. You're gonna find
out you're going to have several other problems that are bigger,
more well funded, and more organized, and you're going to
be more isolated. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

And he's not a big fan of Trump, as you

Why three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at ch Had Benson Show, is your ex,
your Insta? All the other things right here in the
Chad Benson Show, Lol, nas X Villanova.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
It's about things we were.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Talking about yesterday. My local show is so Chattanooga. University
of Chattanooga they had a what was active shooter report
that turned out to be false. Then Villanova had the
same thing which turned out to be false. Kind of
a spate of those is what we're saying. Villanova had

(01:29:33):
the fake shooting that wasn't a shooting, like I said,
the University of Chattanooga had theirs yesterday as well that
was nothing. And even before that, in the early morning
yesterday locally here in Nashville, there was two bomb.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
Threats to like local colleges. So people are asking the question, like,
what the heck's going on, What the heck's going on?

Speaker 22 (01:29:58):
That are a law enforcements say hoaxes or swatting has
reached a crisis level in the US in recent years. Thursday,
students at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga went into lockdown
after reports of shots fired, but police found there was
no evidence of a threat. Hours later, in Pennsylvania, police
responded to calls of an active shooter at the University
of Villanova, with students like Ainsley Craig told to shelter

(01:30:21):
in place. I hope it's an ant real it wasn't.
District Attorney Jack Stolsteimer says his office is now investigating
the nine one one call as a hoax, so and.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
There were several of these, and there have been over
the last couple of weeks, and especially as college is
ramped up.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
It's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
So who knows what the hell that's all about. And
people are stupid, as we all know. Whatever happened, just
pulling the fire alarm, good old fashioned style three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson
Shows your exer instat Our buddy Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute
of Public Policy Research, going to join the program straight
Ahead talk about redistricting California a versus Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Straight Ahead Chat Benson, Cham Sudden Chat Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
It is that time of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
Talk to our good buddy, Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute of
Public Policy Research, Kipper my man, James. Once happened, Brother,
I want to talk to you about this amazing thing
called redistricting, because Texas they did it. So the meme King,
because that's his new name, Gavin Newsom. He's decided to
make it his priority to get those five seats stolen

(01:31:45):
by those evil Republicans back, and it looks like he's.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
At least on his way to getting something done.

Speaker 40 (01:31:51):
Yeah, he's gonna steal him back himself, very wily coyote
a shove him.

Speaker 7 (01:31:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 40 (01:31:56):
I you know, I said about three weeks ago when
we were talking about all of this crazy stuff that
was coming out of his social media feeds, and I
don't really you know, I'm guessing that he wanted to
be the leader of the resistance, and that really seems
to be what it is. He wants to be seen
as the guy who's leading the resistance against Trump. He's
the guy that can beat Trump, and therefore that when
it comes to twenty twenty eight, you should luck me

(01:32:17):
because I'm the guy that can beat Trump. But far
as registering and stuff, yeah, yesterday they were able to
not only get the Assembly to approve it, the state
Senate approved it, and Gavin signed off on it later
last night. So it will go on the ballot in November,
and he will have to convince a lot of people
that this is a good idea because right now, the
early polls show it's not being approved by sixty three

(01:32:38):
percent of the people in the state of California. That,
of course is a significant number of Democrats. That don't
think this is a good idea, But you know, we'll
have to see how much they can bs people. Don't
forget the California has some of the best people when
it comes to writing misleading propositions.

Speaker 6 (01:32:55):
So who knows what this thing is going to be
titled as and the description for it.

Speaker 40 (01:33:00):
But the Democrats have gotten two things killed that they
want that the Republicans wanted passed by writing completely disingenuous
and confusing ballid statements that confuse enough people to not
vote for it. And the gas tax removal in twenty
twenty two, I believe lost by like fifty five forty
five because they were just able to rig the ballot measure.

Speaker 6 (01:33:21):
So I have to see how they're gonna rig it
in their favor this time.

Speaker 40 (01:33:23):
I'm assuming it's in their favor that a yes vote
will mean removing the registricting Committee and no will mean
to keep it. But again, I don't know which way
they're gonna play it so that it plays out for
the most advantageous way for them.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Pug Policy Research,
we talk about you know stuff and calib the meme
King I mean all jokes aside, he is putting himself
in a position ol Gavin Newsom where he is it's
like so bizarre to watch somebody. It's almost like he's
manic with the insane stuff that they're tweeting about that

(01:33:57):
they're doing this.

Speaker 3 (01:33:59):
I'm gonna take you on.

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
And he's trying to out Trump Trump, which that's a
bad thing to try. Even if you don't like Trump,
you got to give the dude props for who he
is and how he does his thing.

Speaker 6 (01:34:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 40 (01:34:11):
Absolutely, I mean that Trump is the king when it
comes to trolling and basically mocking people and all of
that stuff. And it's funny because the Democrats have spoken
out for so long about how much they don't like it,
how unpresidential it looks, how much of a lack.

Speaker 6 (01:34:24):
Of leadership it shows.

Speaker 40 (01:34:25):
But then again, now Gavin Newsom does it, and he
is just the king of the resistance. He is the
bret smartest guy. He's the only Democrat that's got to
lea you know, that's leading stuff because he's doing the
same thing Trump's doing.

Speaker 6 (01:34:37):
So it's like, well, what is it, guys? Is it simply?

Speaker 40 (01:34:40):
Is it something not professional and not something that you
want to see in a leader, or if it's your leader,
then all of a sudden it is a good idea
to do it. And maybe what Trump's doing isn't such
a bad idea. You just don't like it because you
just don't like Donald Trump. And literally, if Donald Trump
came out and said I love cancer or I hate cancer,
the Democrats will come out and say, we love kid.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
Answer that is so funny. If he walked on water,
what's the old saying is because he can't swim. I mean,
that's how ridiculous. They are talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy
instead of public policy research. So look, my frustration with
all of this redistricting stuff is once again they they're
no longer even hiding what they're about either party. Our

(01:35:24):
votes really don't matter. They're going to pick us the
way that they think we should line up and give
them their vote.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
So that's my frustration point.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
I think, and a lot of people that I've talked to,
even people that are a conservative, and go, yeah, you know,
the Republicans probably need to do this, but it's still
this is not the way that our Republican democracy was
supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
You can call it a democracy.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
But if my vote counts for nothing because you've rigged
the system, that's not really a democracy.

Speaker 6 (01:35:51):
Now, we're not really a true democracy.

Speaker 40 (01:35:52):
We're a democratic republic as you well know, and we
select our leaders who go out.

Speaker 6 (01:35:56):
And vote for us. We're a true democracy.

Speaker 40 (01:35:58):
Everybody would get together and vote in every It really
isn't practical. So I shind a country with two hundred
earth with three hundred and thirty five or three hundred
and fifty million people, and it's completely not practical. And
this is why this system works well, and it's worked
well for two hundred and almost fifty years as of
next year.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
But that being said, it's still you know, yeah, we're
a republic, but it's still even though we're vote, our
votes don't count inside of the republic because they've decided
to rig the system.

Speaker 40 (01:36:27):
No, absolutely, and that really is is you know, the
example of the city in California is looking at this
and they were so brazen when they when they were
going to ram this thing through. They had over I
think it was sixteen thousand comments in like three days
have been put online throughout me through an online site
they wanted to read the Republicans wanted to read some
of them that was denied. They wanted them in the

(01:36:49):
record for the bill that was denied. They would not
allow any comments to be read or anything discussed about
the comments in the hearings for the bill because they
did not want any of that on the record. Of
how many people are against this and it's going to
come down. You know, they've got a lot of their
constituency groups that are in favor of this, but not

(01:37:10):
all of their constituency groups in California are in favor
of it. So it's going to be interesting if they
can win the rest of those over and what roles
some of those groups they have and be on a
win over can play in shooting this thing down.

Speaker 6 (01:37:22):
Because this is going to be November fourth.

Speaker 40 (01:37:23):
So we've got what roughly eighty days until this sing
or seventy five days or so until this thing is
on the ballot and voted on. Oh, by the way,
California passed Prop thirty six last year, and it was
basically to roll back a lot of the anti or
the pro crime I guess you'd say anti law enforcement
stuff that we've had previously. Kevin Newsom's wating to stop

(01:37:46):
that bill was to not fund it, So there is
no funding to implement Prop thirty six and all of
the additional policing and that's required. That cost is going
to cost about two hundred and two hundred and fifty million. Magically,
that's the exact amount of money roughly that this special
election is going to cost California come November. So it's
interesting when they really need to find two hundred million dollars,
they can find a way to write a check for it.

(01:38:07):
But when people want it for law enforcement happened. No,
they don't have the money. Sorry, just don't just can't
afford it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
Right now talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute of Public
Policy Research, all right, we've talked about California the redistricting.

Speaker 3 (01:38:17):
Let's talk about some of the national and world stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
We've talked about the fact that, yeah, they met a
week ago, Putin still holds all the cards.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
Everybody got together from Europe. And then what does Putin
do today?

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
The biggest hit that they've had on you know, Ukraine
and forever, including hitting stuff that is essentially American factories.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
This isn't you know.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
I told everybody Putin is not going to step away
with this, A step away from this because he doesn't
have to, Jim, it doesn't because he's got all of
the cards, and the cards say take as much as
you can, and then once you say, she ate your appetite,
go from there.

Speaker 40 (01:38:58):
Yeah, the satiation may not grow until he basically has
everything well sitation well technically, and so has everything from
the old from the old USSR back into his back
into his ownership ranks. This one may just be all
of Ukraine until he decides to take a breather, until
he decides, you know, to take a breather and move

(01:39:19):
on for a while and let you know, basically to
accumulate and consolidate all of his winnings or all of
his gains in this one.

Speaker 6 (01:39:24):
Yeah, he really does. I mean, we're everybody else is
in a bad spot. I mean, nobody wants to go
put troops on the ground and go fight Putin. We
don't want to do it. None of the Europeans want
to do it.

Speaker 40 (01:39:35):
We want to do it by proxy and basically feed
the Ukrainians and give them money and arms and all
that to go ahead and fight Putin. The problem is,
and I think I don't know if you've mentioned it.
Of other people that have mentioned it. Putin's got a
lot more bodies to throw at them than the Ukrainians do.

Speaker 6 (01:39:52):
Yeah, he's lost a lot of bodies.

Speaker 40 (01:39:53):
He's allowed a lot of people leave his country, but
those are basically, you know, for lack of a better frase,
smart people, not necessarily just physical bodies that are leaving.
And he's you know, basically put Russia in a horrible
position for the next fifty years. But he won't be
here in fifty years. Was not going to really be
his problem. His problem is collecting, as far as he's concerned,
all of the land that he can.

Speaker 6 (01:40:14):
To put together the USSR.

Speaker 40 (01:40:17):
And yeah, we were really stuck because how do you
really go to a limited basis of war with a
nuclear superpower with a guy who's not necessarily all that
mentally stable. That was why I think he did not
invade during Trump's opinion period, because you can't really can't
really bet on what Trump will do. You think he'll
do something that is similar to what the US presidents

(01:40:39):
and leaders would have done, like Biden and Obama, but
you're never really sure if he's just not going to
get really nuts one day and decide yeah, maybe I
will go back and fight you that lod and that
he can't win.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
Yeah, no, he can't.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
Talk to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research.
You know, the I look at like all the stuff
going on globally, we got all this chaos going on,
We've got all this stuff going on here. The economy
is still going to be the number number one thing
that drives next year. I don't know where the economy sits.
I think someplace's okay, someplaces not okay. The I get

(01:41:15):
a sense I told somebody today, I feel like, not
two thousand and eight, but I feel like there's a
bubble that's about to pop when it comes to in
particular a lot of these AI stocks, which for the
most part, is propping up a lot of stuff.

Speaker 40 (01:41:33):
Yeah, they are first one, they're small, you know, they're
not a huge part of the market. But but yeah,
what we've got is you've got the student debt problem. Yeah,
just gonna explode at some point. And that's kind of
just been kind of simmering. The Biden, I don't know,
Biden made it any worse or better by basically deferring
the debt or basically eliminating it for a lot of
the students.

Speaker 6 (01:41:50):
That's not a good thing. That that's you know, you
got moral hazard problems there.

Speaker 2 (01:41:54):
Uh.

Speaker 40 (01:41:54):
We've also got large, large numbers of credit card interest
debt and I believe if I'm not mistake, and a
lot of the auto loan market is beginning to sour too,
where they're getting into hire and higher non repayments on
a percentage basis than we've seen for.

Speaker 6 (01:42:10):
A long time.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
You can't have seven hundred, eight hundred, you know, twelve
hundred dollars payments and not think that that that's sustainable.

Speaker 6 (01:42:18):
No, No, and then then that's the problem. And you're
talking about car loan payments, you're not talking about house payments. Yeah,
and that's the point. Yeah, that's a that's a that's
a house paymer.

Speaker 40 (01:42:26):
That was someone's house payment fifteen years ago, and now
it's your car payment because of interest and cars getting
more and more expensive, and probably with the tariffs, that's
probably not gonna get a whole lot cheap because I
heard they settled on some things yesterday where it's gonna
be I think a fifteen percent tariff on the high
end automakers from from Europe I don't know what to
currently paying if that's going to be an increase or

(01:42:47):
a dec or they think it's probably gonna be pretty same.
So that means those those prices are coming out of
nothing else. They're not going up or they're not coming down,
that's for sure. As for alcoholic beverages, and what I'm
concerned with is wine prices coming out of France.

Speaker 6 (01:42:59):
That's gonna be fifth teen percent and that can raise
stuff too.

Speaker 40 (01:43:02):
But yeah, and then let's not forget we're a country
sitting on what are the thirty seven trillion dollars in
debt and running it up at two trillion dollars a
year without any any any way to see how we're
going to cut that and how we're going to continue
to pay that if without starting to without starting to
crowd out a lot of benefit payments and a lot
of entitlement program payments. And it's you know, we keep

(01:43:25):
kicking the can down the road on the on the
on the national debt. But you know, we don't have
five years probably until this thing is going to come
due in the sense of there have to be some
significant changes. And if you look at the budget, the
only way to really do it is, you're going to
have to start cutting defense spending. We're not going to
be the defense We're not going to have the defense
presidence that we think that we do.

Speaker 14 (01:43:45):
We may not be.

Speaker 40 (01:43:45):
Building any more Ford class carriers going forward in the
next five or ten years because we simply don't have
the money to spend two to three billion dollars a
year on a carrier. Not that that's going to cut
much into a two trillion dollar deficit, but you've got
to start cutting it somewhere, and maybe the defense budget
or fortune that it comes out.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):

meeting with all the Euros talking about what's going on

(01:49:10):
in Ukraine, which, by the way, as we've talked about
throughout the day, isn't going the way people thought.

Speaker 3 (01:49:14):
I thought it, but isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
