Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Are we getting closer? Is this the end of the beginning?
Some people think so when it comes to government shutdown.
I'll tell you what, though, this is the weekend where
America is going to feel it in a different way.
You've already got obviously the SNAP issues which are still
being fought in court, and who's going to get paid,
how much is coming out? When is it going to happen.

(00:36):
That's going on. But then you turn and you look
and you think to yourself, we're headed towards some serious
flight disruption as we head into the holiday season. And
I think this is when, like I said, SNAP was
always going to be a big deal because this was
people who didn't work for the government who were going

(00:59):
to be affected. And now another large swath of people
that are going to be immediately affected when it comes
to flights and the lack of them.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Potentially, the flight cuts start today and they're going to
affect flights in roughly forty airports, and it's going to
start out small at four percent of total flights that's commercial, private,
and cargo, and then it's going to continually go up
for the next couple of days until it reaches roughly
ten percent, which is very uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And I saw a couple of people say one of
the big suggestions that they think is cancel all private
flights as well, because when you cancel private travel like that,
you piss people off who have means and power to
have a louder voice, because if your life's not really

(01:54):
disrupted about any a thing, you don't care, like, how
does this affect me? When it really doesn't, well, then
I don't care. But I just thought it was kind
of interesting. So cancel private flights as well, make sure
that they can't take off, which you're not going to do,
but still it was kind of an interesting take. Meaning
there's probably some politicians who are going to be on
some private jets because they've got big donors who have
private I mean, this is the kind of stuff that

(02:15):
people are trying to figure out. How can we force
people to the table to talk. And this is affecting
my family. So you guys know, I talk about my daughter.
She's seventeen. She's on the spectrum. Everything is planned, everything
is planned, everything is planned. That's the way she is.

(02:36):
If if she's thrown for loop, it's not good. And
my wife doesn't feel she's supposed to leave tomorrow, and
they're already talking about disruptions and they're not quite sure,
and they said to keep checking back. And my wife's like,
I don't know. I might have to drive her back.
I'm like, you might have to drive her back. I mean,

(02:56):
she can stay here longer, but she has Again, she
plans these things out, she does it. That's part of
her being on the spectrum. It's the way she does things.
And so I'm thinking you might have to drive her back,
which is so infuriating because these idiots can't get in
a room.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Lots of airports are going to be disruptive, in particular
some of the major ones.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
The airports that are affected by this are all across
the country. The big airports, smaller airports. We're talking about
all the New York area airports Los Angeles, or Orlando, Memphis, Miami, Minneapolis, Oakland, Portland, Philadelphia,
but also smaller airports like Teeterborough Airport that handles a
huge amount of private jet traffic just outside New York City.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
See what I said about the private jets, very important
about the private jets very important cause private jets get
people moving. Now, Jonathan carl Was I asked yesterday, and
I've a couple of my sources. I even talked about
my local show yesterday that there are a few powerful
senators on either side that have kind of been back

(04:07):
dooring and trying to push this thing forward more and
more because they're starting to understand that this now is
becoming a no longer a power battle between the two,
but a problem for America. And it feels like this

(04:31):
weekend could potentially be a tipping point.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
I think we're getting closer. I mean, what I'm hearing
is you have you have Democrats who are eager to
move beyond this and are moving closer towards accepting what
John Thune actually offered more than a month ago, the
idea of, you know, they vote for an extension of
government funding and they get a promise on these Obamacare

(04:57):
subsidy extensions. It's not going to be everybody you played
Senator Blumenthal, he's not going to be there.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
But they only need eight of them.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
It won't be eight, it'll be more than that.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
You can't have every single one of them be the
determining vote. But my sense is that they're getting closer.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I think they are too. I think you get much closer.
How close I'm feeling like next week. I wouldn't be
surprised early next week, especially if this weekend really becomes
a debacle for travel, because we all know this too
about travel. You don't need a lot. I mean you're

(05:33):
going to start tossing in weather too, by the way,
which is going to be a nightmare if you're not
paying attention. There's a freezer comment, and we're expected here
in Nashville on Sunday and to Monday to maybe get
a sprinkle just it's just some flakes. But it's going
to be worse elsewhere. So if you start throwing in

(05:55):
delays from the shutdown with other delays because of other yeah,
this could potentially be uh guly. And then of course
it's still the politics of it all, which is first
and foremost what this started out as, having to do

(06:15):
with healthcare, among other things. And Trump, I think you
can really sense that he's frustrated because he's feeling like
we're always getting the blame for this, We're always getting
the blame for this. Well, you are the party in
charge of everything, and yes, the Democrats are playing their part.
That's the beauty of the government that we have is

(06:37):
that the minority party can throw a bit of a
monkey wrench things and Trump's done with He's like, Nope,
we got to get rid of the filibuster, which you
and I we know how we feel about this. That
is a no go for me.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
Given these modifications that are being made to air travel,
the other disruptions with the government shut down. Do you
think it's time for Republicans in Congress to change their
negotiating position at all in one way, to start making
concessions to Democrats.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
Well, I think it's time for them to end the
filibuster and just put everybody back to work. Vote in
voter ID, vote in, no mail in voting except for military,
far away military, and people that are very sick.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
I'd like to see one day voting.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
I'd like to see not sixty five days of voting
from all over the place.

Speaker 9 (07:32):
Though, I'd like to clean up the elections. The border.
We've done a great job. We have a great strong border.

Speaker 8 (07:37):
Now I'd like to see new rules on immigration that could.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
Be fair and good. You know, rules that you'll never get,
the rules that they're never going to get. There's so
many things we.

Speaker 8 (07:47):
Could put in including tax cuts that we could get,
and we could do it all ourselves.

Speaker 9 (07:52):
But to do that, you have to end the filibuster,
the philibuster.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
You just can't. Sorry, no, that's a no go. And
luck so far Thoon and everybody seems to have their
balls with them and won't be doing that. So this
is I mean, you know, look, it's getting serious. But
you hear in his voice, and I think you see
it amongst some of the Republicans. Tuesday night was a
bit of a wake up call and the Democrats kind

(08:18):
of digging their heels in a little bit more. I
think if it would have been much closer, I think
we may be hearing the Democrats seeing a different tune.
But now that Americans are starting to make noise because
their life is being disrupted, and these are people who
don't work for the government, what you're seeing is they're
pissed at both sides and they just want this done.

(08:39):
Get in a room, act like adults, Get this fixed. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at chadventson shows your acts,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Yesterday, horrible situation in
Texas with one of the Cowboys, who, unfortunately, instead of

(09:04):
celebrating his amazing life and the things that are going on,
took his life.

Speaker 10 (09:11):
On Monday Night football, twenty four year old Dallas Cowboys
defensive end Marshawn Neeland scoring a touchdown zone touchdowns, recovering
a blocked punt in the end zone, celebrating with his teammates,
the textown his story ending in tragedy. Authorities say he

(09:31):
led police on a chase in Texas and was later
found dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah horrible. So you score your first touchdown and you
kill yourself a few days later. It is a reminder
that you don't know what's going on in someone's life.
You have no idea what is happening. You have no
idea what they are going through. Find the facade of

(10:03):
social media, right you see somebody driving in the cool
car and they look they'd live in the life, and
they're on TV or you know, you look over there
and you think they got a great family, and you
don't know what is going on. You don't. His family, though,
was worried about him. His girlfriend was worried about him.

(10:25):
They sensed it was something wrong because he was sending
text messages essentially saying goodbye, that it was over. And
that's I mean again, we don't know what played into it.
He'd been fighting demons, his mother died last year on

(10:46):
top of that. Did CTV E play a role where
maybe he had had a ton of concussions and that it,
you know, caused some of the demons he had to
be bigger and for him to fight. We don't know.
It is a tragedy. It is, and that's why I

(11:07):
want to say this right here. If you or somebody
you know struggles with thoughts like this or depression, it's
it's a phone call away. You just pick up your
phone and dial nine to eight eight. That is a
suicide hotline, have somebody to talk to. So just want
to put that out there. Three two three, five, three eight,

Speaker 12 (14:56):
Hurt my head in.

Speaker 18 (15:02):
Windy in a thirty hours Lowly Kennedy funny.

Speaker 14 (15:09):
Funny, I'm freaking.

Speaker 12 (15:14):
Wow again. It's true.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
If you choose to drink, then the recommendation is to
drink in moderation.

Speaker 19 (15:28):
There is just something so electric, so satisfying about knowing
that my mag of parents, wherever.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
They are, are probably having a horrible.

Speaker 14 (15:36):
Night to night.

Speaker 2 (15:37):

city three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your ex your Insta, YouTube,
and Facebook love hearing from all of you right here
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (15:50):
I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring.
I think she did the the country a great disservice
by retire.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
Here's the O two pitch box as well.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Debate the chap You're Gonna come out? Yeah Baby, Finally
Friday and Boy the dollars. That was a hell of
a week. Speaking of a hell of a week, Elon Musk,
we touched on it yesterday. Trillion dollars.

Speaker 21 (16:21):
As a pay package what Tesla shareholders have opened the
door for Elon Musk to become the world's first trillionaire.
The company says seventy five percent of them voted to
approve a nearly one trillion dollar pay package for Musk,
who's also Tesla CEO. And to claim the money, all
Musk has to do is increase Tesla's value from its
current one point one trillion dollars to eight point five

(16:44):
trillion dollars over the next ten years. He also has
to put a million robo taxis on the streets over
the next decade.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
The interesting thing about this, and I'm going to talk
to Zach Abram, chievestment officer at Bulwark next hour about this.
The thing I find interesting is I think he's bored
with Tesla.

Speaker 22 (17:04):
I do.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I think he is at the point where he wants
to do other things. Tesla's kind of on autopilot. He
sees the shrinking market share, and I think he threw
something out there that was, first of all, a challenge
for him, but also money that was so insane that
would be hard to say no. And we'll see, but

(17:26):
I think he's bored. We'll get Zach's taken on it
is he bored with this? Does he feel like, you
know what? I've done everything I can with this and
the future is in space and with robots, not with cars.
You can see the show grab the podcast This is
with Chad Benson.

Speaker 23 (17:39):
Shown Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I normally don't weigh into this stuff. When it comes
to the maga conservative influencer fights, I find them to
be ridiculous and childish, and I don't normally get into it.
You guys know me. I like to cover everything right

(18:26):
from politics to pop culture, but I come at it
in a different way. And hyperbole is not my jam,
and saying ridiculous things isn't my jam. And it would
be easy to do. I tell everybody you know how
easy it is to walk in and do a show.
And I'm not talking about for the average person. I'm
talking about for something like me, where I don't have

(18:47):
to do anything but go to the libs of TikTok
and a few other things, grab a few videos and
a few sound bites and who cares if it's true
or not. To try to build an audience where it's
just very narrow and they're very loud, and we can
just make fun of people. I make fun of everybody,

(19:07):
because you know what, I make fun of myself because
it's that's what I do. I hate humors, my jam,
it's my thing. But I like to hold people accountable.
And like I said, I don't normally do these kind
of things. But it's becoming a bigger story because as

(19:28):
much as the Democrats are having an issue right now,
and they aren't having an issue with this, they got
a younger generation and mandani Is is really upset their
apple cart for a lot of reasons. And the Democrats
are trying to figure out which way to go and
how do we talk to men and what do we do?

(19:50):
And how do the Republicans are in that position as well.
There's a realization obviously that MAGA being headed up by Trump,
is it going to be there forever? How do they
build a coalition and keep growing? But they've become the

(20:12):
ultimate cancelation whiners And this all stems real well, it's
gone on for a while and after October seventh, it
changed because the Israel lobby and the Christian Zionist fundamentalist

(20:36):
decided that, you know, you have to support Israel's every
move regardless of what they do, even if it is
abhorrent or else you're anti Semitic, which is a bunch
of crap. I was gonna say something else, but whatever.

(21:01):
And it started from there, and then you started to
see a fracture because what you started to see was
a bunch of young men in particular, who helped Trump
get across the line, who are more republitarians right, more
independent thinkers who listened to Trump and them, and I

(21:21):
want to stop all the wars, and I want to
give money to foreign countries to do all these things.
And all of a sudden it went from America first
to Israel first, and you started to see a real
issue in a chasm start to emerge. And then Charlie
Kirk was having that battle because Charlie Kirk believed in
free speech and he wanted people to have conversations, even

(21:45):
people he disagreed with, thought they should have an opportunity
to have conversations. And Tucker Carlson has been put into
this box where he's an anti Semite because he's interviewing
people who do not like the way that Israel has
prosecuted the war. They they say things that they deem

(22:11):
to be anti Semitic. And I will continue to tell
you this over and over again. Criticizing a foreign government
of which they are an ally, of which we give
them billions of dollars and for the most part stand
behind them with a big stick and make sure that

(22:31):
nothing else untoward happens to them, we have every right
to criticize them, do we not? Well, no, because if
you criticize Israel, you you are anti Semitic and you
hate the Jews. No, No, that's again, that's that's ridiculous.

(22:56):
I don't know how many times I have to say this.
If I criticize Maduro Cuba and the Castro regime and
the way that they handle their business, does it mean
that I hate Latinos, Venezuelans, Latins Hispanics? I don't know.
I mean, is that where we're going? If I criticize

(23:18):
the government of Nigeria and the way they've allowed the
slaughter of tens of thousands of Christians and are useless,
does that mean I hate Africans. No, So this argument
that if you go and you say, hey, I think
bb net, Yahoo and the IDF and the way that

(23:41):
they're going about starving, killing and cleansing Gaza. I don't
want any part of that. As a human being. I
look over and I see suffering, and I see innocent
people who are caught between a rock and a hard place,
who are trying to survive day by day, who've been

(24:02):
handed a pretty crappy card in life. Doesn't mean that
I support Amas exactly the opposite. I think Hamas is abhorrent.
But I think a five year old that's starving, or
a grandma and their grandchildren who are all that's left

(24:23):
get blown up in a building, and I say, I
think that's wrong, and I don't think that was necessary,
and I think this isn't winning a ward. This is
destruction of human beings at this point, and then I
get told, well, that's because you hate the Jews. We
always joke about it on my local show, right, that
you hate the Jews, Right, you hate the Jews. No,

(24:47):
so this is blown up to the point where Tucker
has on Nick Fuenttes. Now I've been saying for years
the stuff he says is ridiculous support. I don't even
cover Nick, but he's got a voice, he's got several
million followers, a bunch of young men go to him

(25:11):
and listen to him, and he is I think a
vast majority of what he says. I don't even know
if he believes it. I think he's just a massive troll.
But he is talented. He is engaging when it comes
to being able to say the things he wants to
say in a way that gets a younger group, especially

(25:31):
young men, to pay attention. And of course Tucker doing
that well gets him in trouble. How dare he how
dare he go and give Nick Flentes a platform? Well,
Nick already has a platform and he's got millions of followers,
So why not engage with somebody.

Speaker 24 (25:53):
The real issue here is I think that Tucker Carlson's
morphing from I would say, a very edgy right wing
political figure on Fox News, but certainly within the mainstream
into a conspiracist, a person who ideologically wanders anti Semitism,
who ideologically launders all sorts of anti Americanism on his
show and then errors it for the public to hear

(26:14):
with interviews like the ones he did with Nick Flints,
which was essentially a massager Nick flintees, you know. I
think that took a lot of people by surprise, probably
including Kevin.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Look, I saw a bit of the interview. It was
softish ball, but he doesn't argue and fight much. You
go back and you watch him on Fox, and you
watch him now. He's sitting at a table that looks
like a rustick cabin in Maine, and he chats with

(26:44):
people for you know, an hour and a half, two hours,
three hours, whatever it is. It's not your normal television
SoundBite bs where they get five people in a room
and tell everybody take, give yourself the hottest take you
possibly can be absurd, or it'll be great for the
Internet and it'll get ratings. Could he have pushed back more? Yeah,

(27:09):
of course should he? Again, it's his show.

Speaker 25 (27:14):
The main criticism, as I understand it has been well, yes, platforming.
They say that I don't accept platforming as a valid objection.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
What is that a verb?

Speaker 26 (27:21):
But you take a noun and you make it into
a verb and nobody says anything. As a former editor,
I say no, Yeah, I.

Speaker 25 (27:27):
Agree honestly, but like, as far as I know, Nick
Fointes hasn't eaten anyone, you know. I mean Jeffrey Dahmer,
eight people, and he was platformed by Diane Saur.

Speaker 26 (27:36):
We have a member, a sitting member of Congress. I
spoke to the Speaker of the House about this today.
We have a sitting member of Congress from Florida called
Randy Fine, who is literally texted or put on Twitter,
we should kill them all, every single one. Someone texted
a picture of literally of a dead baby and he
laughs at it, and it's like, this guy's a lawmaker's
appropriating money to a military committing genocide and that's cool.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
It's not cool, and let's just be honest.

Speaker 26 (28:02):
That is much worse than anything Nick Fuentes has said.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Period. I agree. Randy Fine is absolutely a giant douche canoe.
He is an ass hat who is horrific in the
things that he has said. He said that they should
be nuked, they should all starve to death, calls some monsters.

(28:30):
So and the difference is Nick Fuentes, again, does he
believe some of it. He might, but he also is
a person who does this as an entertainment thing. So
know that a lot of what you see out there
is entertainment and a lot of times people don't believe

(28:54):
a lot of what they're spewing. Doesn't make it right.
But I will tell you once again, it has become
a battle of the right versus the right, and a
younger generation is splitting away from this older generation, and

(29:15):
this older generation is trying to figure out, well, we're
just going to call everybody anti semit If you don't
support Israel, you were going to call you this. If
you don't do that, we're going to say you're all
of these things. I get it. I am probably one
of the only talk radio hosts in the country that's
willing to look and go I call bs on this
when it comes to this stuff with Israel again, the

(29:37):
government of Israel, not the Jewish people, right, not that. No,
with the government of Israel. And as a human being
and as a Christian, yes, I know, I know, I
found out its Jewish a few years ago. But still
as a Christian, as a believer in Christ, I want

(30:00):
to see the best in humanity and I don't want
to see people suffer and having a conversation with people,
how are you going to reach them, find out what
they're all about? What their appeal is if you can't
have a conversation. It is absolutely ridiculous to think that

(30:30):
if you sit there and go, hey, dude, what's up.
Tell me why it is that you hate the Jewish people.
Tell me why it is that you feel the way
you do.

Speaker 27 (30:48):
That.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
In doing that, somehow you now believe the same thing
as that person, No more than Scott McLeod, Time Magazine,
Peter Arnett, CNN, John Miller ABC, all of which interviewed
Osama bin Laden. Talking to people, finding out who they

(31:10):
are and what they're about doesn't make you who they are.
And this tearing a part of each other because you
have a differing of opinion is not healthy for any
of us. That's why I tell you guys all the time,
stay away from the tribes. The purity test is b
s and do not fall for it. We're gonna talk

(31:33):
a little bit more next hour about this, including what
the president of the Heritage Foundation did to support Tucker
and then him getting neutered by his own people. It
is embarrassing, so embarrassing. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, Is
Your Acts, your Insta, YouTube and more. Chapter talk about

(31:53):

is an ongoing annoyance where you love your what I
love my plan? Then the plan's gone. Now what well
you call a Medicare agent. Then what happens? They're going
to put you in some the chances are going to
get them the most commission. Is it right for you?
Usually not, but you don't know what else to do. Well,

(32:16):
that's when you turn to chapter. They don't work for
the government, they don't work for the insurance companies. They
work for you. Chapter compares every Medicare plan nationwide, define
the best fit for you. On average, seniors save eleven
hundred dollars a year. And here's another great thing free.
That's right, it's free for you. And you'll have your
options back in under twenty minutes. And if the plan
you have and you're just curious you want to see

is too important. Do not risk it work with the
partner I trust. That's chapter dial pound two fifty and
say keyword medicare plan for chapter At Chad Benson Show,

(32:58):
is your Ax, your Insta, your you to your Facebook
and all the other things? This is the Chad Benton Show.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Irreverence, Like, yeah, so what it's the Chad Venton Show.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
What the hell's going on in Japan? It's not Godzilla,
It's a bear.

Speaker 27 (33:24):
No, it's lots of bears, a narrow escape from a
beer capable of killing. Attacks like these are now reported
almost daily across Japan, most of them in the north.
Beers have shown up near schools, train stations, in the
aisles of supermarkets, and even as a hot springs resort.

(33:47):
As the number of deaths and injuries mount, the Prefecture
of Akita has been forced to call in the army.

Speaker 28 (33:53):
There used to be fields at the foot of the mountains,
farmland and rice paddies where people work the land, but
thanks to a declining population and some other factors, the
land is no longer being worked.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
It has become a band of farmland, meaning the situation has.

Speaker 29 (34:08):
Developed where the boundaries between the bears has moved much closer.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Much closer. Indeed, and we're not talking about a few
bear attacks. We're talking about a whole budge since April.

Speaker 27 (34:22):
Rolling into town and army trucks and jeeps. Soldiers wearing
body armor have been deployed to cities like Kazuno. They've
been told to say traps in the area and bring
in local hunters to calvy animals that number in the
tens of thousands.

Speaker 29 (34:37):
We are constantly cooperating with the self defense forces on
matters such as sporting events and natural disasters. In the
current situation, our main aim is to establish a robust
relationship among our personnel then countermeasures against bears. We aim
to achieve our primary goal of protecting our residents.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
How many bear attacks could there be?

Speaker 9 (34:56):
Chad?

Speaker 2 (34:57):
All right, you ready for this? So this is the
aga Attic black bear. Okay, since April, one hundred people
have been attacked, twelve have been killed. One hundred people
twelve people killed since April. Since April, so they're having
to bring in the military in certain areas to protect

(35:18):
the people. That is crazy. And the area of which
all of these are happening, population of bears is about
fifty five thousand, three two three five three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your
ex your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more. If you're
missing the show, grab the podcast right here on The
Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our number two of the program,

(35:42):
we're gonna talk about inflation. We're gonna talk about healthcare.
Our buddy Zach Abram, chief investment officer Board Capital, is
gonna join the program. We're going to ask him about
that ginormous, huge pay opportunity for Elon Musk a trillion
dollars with a heat with a t trillion dollars. That's insane.

(36:04):
Talk a bit about that. More on the shutdown. Plus,
I've got one of the best urban words of the
day that we've had. It is you're gonna want to
use this yourself. We'll be doing that as well. If
you're missing me the show, shame on you. Make sure
you grab that podcast. Hour number two straight ahead. This
it's the Chat Benson Chat.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
The government's still shut down and inflation still here. That's
an issue. If the Republicans learn anything this week and
they take away anything from what took place on Tuesday Night.
Is affordability is an issue.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
That word.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
You need to learn it again because you learned it
last year and you won. You won big, bigly, And
Trump has an affordability issue. And I'm not blaming everything
on Trump. It's again, it goes back to this purity test.

(37:33):
You can't have a conversation without people going, you know,
like Trump, did I say that, Well, you said things
aren't very good and prices are high. No, I told
you the truth. Not about the person because they don't
know it. I don't know what to his heart, but
about what's happening when it comes to the cost of everything.

(37:58):
The Republicans have a short time to figure this out,
or next year it will be a tsunami of blue whoa,
I mean, I thought things are great. Here is yet
again another survey. So we've gone through a whole bunch
of these. This is very interesting. Currently getting worse fifty

(38:23):
four percent, getting better twenty one percent. Oh, and this
is the economy. Prices are up across the board. People
feel it. And one of the things that is frustrating,
that really pissed how many people off, including myself, was

(38:47):
the Biden administration insistence that we acknowledge how great the
economy was, and how we were fools not understanding any
of what was going on globally, and how they had
a tougher time with inflation, and so we should just

(39:08):
be happy. That is a bunch of hogwash. What do
we always say around here, in the old Chad Benson joke,
your world revolves around you. So it's the same thing
when it comes to this right here. Inflation, the cost

(39:28):
prices are hot still. People now are seeing a slowdown
in the economy. When it comes to jobs, one of
the things we didn't talk about yesterday was the job
loss now October this is crazy highest total for October
in twenty years, so more than one hundred and fifty

(39:49):
three thousand job cuts in October since the beginning of
the year, right January to October, one point one million jobs.
One point one million jobs. It's the most since COVID
twenty twenty, and obviously that was different because of COVID.

(40:13):
But then you have Scott Bescent coming out and all
of them saying life is great, It's never been better.
Inflation's falling, jobs are booming. The data paints a different picture,
and again we go with data here we go with numbers,
but we also go with.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
What we know.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Go talk to people on the street, although that's kind
of weird, right, Just walk up to somebody randomly, Hey,
what do you think of inflation? No, but you know it.
Talk to your friends. Do you feel like things are great?

Speaker 6 (40:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Some things have gone down a little bit, but a
lot of other things have stayed hot or have gone up.
So it's it's real. Doesn't mean the world's coming to
an end, doesn't mean it's crashing. But don't be Biden
where you tell everybody you need to understand how amazing

(41:07):
everything is. We've never been in a better situation. We've
never been. It's the strongest economy in history. And you're
sitting there going, well, if it's the strongest economy in history,
why is it I can't afford to live? Oh that's interesting.
Yeah it is. So you've got time to write the ship.

(41:32):
But if you don't reacquaint yourself with that word affordability,
next year's going to be a nightmare.

Speaker 14 (41:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
When the president says there's virtually no inflation and that
grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him
on that?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
No?

Speaker 30 (41:45):
I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high.
Energy prices are high. My electricity bills are higher here
in Washington, DC at my apartment, and they're also higher
at my house in Rome, Georgia, higher than they were
a year ago. So affordability is a problem.

Speaker 12 (42:04):
And I'm a mom.

Speaker 30 (42:05):
My kids are twenty two, twenty six, and twenty eight.
That's the generation I worry about the most, and they're
having a very hard time. But when I go back
home and I talk to many of my constituents, I'm
hearing stories of not only are we having a really
hard time affording groceries and rent and things like that,
but I'm also hearing stories about people maxing out their

(42:27):
credit cards just to afford their monthly expenses.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
And when it comes to consumer debt, household debt, we've
never been in a situation like this. Eighteen plus trillion
dollars of household debt, credit cards maxed out, highest it's
ever been. We are feeling the pressure. We've had an
amazing run. Doesn't mean it's coming to an end, but
it feels like it needs to reset itself. And so

(42:55):
you can't discount people's frustration when they say it doesn't
feel like things are more affordable. It doesn't. And then
you get to healthcare, which is going to be another

(43:15):
giant issue in the coming months if they don't get
something sorted out through the government shutdown, which hopefully won't
be shut down too much longer. Karl Rove, I.

Speaker 5 (43:29):
Think we're getting closer. I mean, what I'm hearing is
you have Democrats who are eager to move beyond this
and are moving closer towards accepting what John Thune actually
offered more than a month ago, the idea of you know,
they vote for an extension of government funding and they
get a promise on these Obamacare subsidy extensions. It's not

(43:52):
going to be everybody you played Senator Bloomenthal, He's not
going to be there. But they only need eight of them.
It won't be eight, it'll be more than that. You
can't have every single one of them the determining vote.
But my sense is that they're getting closer.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Getting closer. And that healthcare thing. Again, I can sit
here and say, look, Obamacare, this is your mess, Democrats,
but in reality, this is America's mess. Blaming somebody doesn't
fix the problem. But unfortunately, We live in a time
where you have to make sure that everybody knows they

(44:28):
did it. Make sure that everybody knows they did it.
Everybody knows who is behind Obamacare, right, it says Obamacare
the Affordable Care Act, but we all know who's behind,
and we know what's coming. And this is Brendan Buck.
He was one of the authors of the you know,

(44:53):
famous twenty seventeen repeal Obamacare, right, like the skinny bills
repeal the Obamacare that came so close. And he's very
honest about the fact that, hey, look we suck it.
How the healthcare, I mean, health care is.

Speaker 31 (45:10):
The most perhaps you know, the most charged political issue
there is because it is so personal to people.

Speaker 6 (45:15):
And we found out the hard way.

Speaker 31 (45:17):
We Republicans do tax as well, we do national security well,
we don't do healthcare very well. And so we were
very good on repeal. The replaced part is where we
came up a little short. And that continues to be
to be our problem. Donald Trump is talking about how
he wants to have a new you know, Obamacare debate,
whatever that is that didn't happen. Let's just be very
clear that's not going to happen. And I don't think
that Republicans want to go down that road again. It

(45:38):
blew up in our face before. It blew up in
Bill Clinton's face when he tried to do healthcare reform,
and anybody tries to do healthy BLUWP.

Speaker 32 (45:44):
And Barack Obama's face.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
I mean, he got it done, but we still took
the House. The very next election.

Speaker 13 (45:49):
Was a struggle.

Speaker 31 (45:52):
Well, I think I think if Democrats are using healthcare,
making healthcare a central issue, that is absolutely to their benefit,
and there's a lot of Republicans who I think realize
that and what.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
They want it.

Speaker 31 (46:03):
I should disclose I work on some of the tax
credit issues that are being discussed, but there are Republicans,
especially to Republicans who are in some swing seats battleground districts,
who are like, hey, we should do something on this, guys,
because it is a huge political.

Speaker 33 (46:14):
Issue, right especially when affordability is proving to be such
a winning message almost.

Speaker 25 (46:19):
Regardless of which party with it is the thing that
you see voters wanting to hear.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
About absolutely right there. And if you're not going to
find a fix, just lay blame. That's not going to help. Again,
my goal, if I'm a politician is what's the best
for the people. It's not going to be perfect. What's
the best for the people? They don't care, here's what's
best for them. What can I do the most that's performative,

(46:46):
that makes it look like I'm doing my part, and
at the same time making sure there's no receipts that
could come back and bite me in the ass. They
don't want to take on healthcare, and I've talked about this.
They had a long conversation the other day with our
buddy Jim Kennedy. You'll join us next hour. You almost
need to go, and you need to find couple senators,

(47:12):
some congress people that may be retiring or in super
safe districts so you never have to worry about anything.
Guarantee that you're not going to primary them. And you
got to do it on both sides and say, you
guys are going to be the ones that are going
to take the healthcare thing on head on and fight
this battle because people are pissed. Affordability is a word

(47:36):
that seems like a dream for a lot of people,
and they feel like every month they're not even treading water.
At this point in time, they're taking a big gulp
and coming up so again, healthcare, inflation. It's all there,
doesn't mean it's all bad. No, But you've got to

(47:56):
actually think about when you're talking to the p how
you address them in a way where you make it
feel like you're in it with them, and that while
this is a bump, it is a bump in the road,
it is not a giant, huge pothole of which will

(48:18):
fall into becoming a sinkhole. Next thing you know, we're

look what's going on AI and where it's at.

Speaker 9 (48:37):
Right.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Could there be a bubble inflation? We just talked about
the weakening dollar. That's why gold. So here's a great
thing with Birch this month, when you buy gold from Birch,
you're gonna get free silver. For every five thousand dollars
purchase from Birch Gold Group this month, you're gonna receive
a free patriotic silver round commemorating the gats in the
American flags. Golds up about forty plus percent and rising.
And yes it has little ubs and flows, but let's

be real, it is strong. Now. Maybe you've got an

Speaker 10 (50:00):
On Monday Night, football twenty four year old Dallas Cowboys
defensive end Marshawn Neeland scoring a touchdown in.

Speaker 6 (50:07):
The zone, alce.

Speaker 10 (50:11):
Touchdowns, recovering a blocked punt in the end zone, celebrating
with his teammates Nayland the touchdown, his story ending in tragedy.
Authorities say he led police on a chase in Texas
and was later found dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
You just never know. Last night Broncos Raiders Thursday Night football.

Speaker 34 (50:32):
Ladies and gentlemen, the Denver Broncos joined the Dallas Cowboys
and the entire NFL community. In morning Cowboys defensive end
Marshawn Kneelin, who tragically passed away this morning. As we
offer our thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and teammates,
please stand and join in a moment of silence to

(50:52):
remember the life of Marshan Neelan.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I thought it was class what they did. It's an
interesting thing, you know, this CTE thing came up. But
he had been going through a lot of stuff. His
mother died last year. And you don't know, and I'm
sure we'll find out over the next few days about
everything that again behind the helmet and the pads and

(51:17):
the fame what somebody is dealing with, and they were
worried about him. There's no doubt hence the reason there
was a Nie won't call it because he had started
sending text messages.

Speaker 22 (51:26):
This all seems to have happened during a time of
immense personal concern for Neiland's well being. We know from
the timeline provided by law enforcement and from audio from
dispatch that he allegedly sent text to families and friends
telling them goodbye, which prompted them to reach out to
law enforcement and ask for help in ensuring his well being.

(51:46):
You see the timeline here. It's about ten thirty local
time last night when Frisco PDE responded to a request
from state police to locate that vehicle. This led to
a brief pursuit that ended in that vehicle crashing kneel
and fleeing on foot until early this morning, just past
one thirty, he was found with what Frisco Police are

(52:08):
calling it apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. State troopers call
it's a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Speaker 6 (52:29):
Awful.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
You think somebody's got it all, You don't know what's
go they're going through. You have no idea behind everything.
There are demons and things they're fighting. Tragedy, absolute tragedy.
And if you are somebody you know as struggling with suicide,
the suicide hotline is just three digits away. It's nine

(52:54):
eight eight, that's the number you call. And I think
all of us, at some point in time have known somebody,
maybe you've gone through to yourself, who is depressed, who's desperate.
This is you know, this is not something new to humanity.
It was talking to a couple of people yesterday about

(53:14):
this and they're like, they seem to have everything. I said,
let me tell you some I've known people that are
wealthy beyond our wildest dreams, you know, and they're never happy.
And I've known people that don't have really about to
piss in, and they always got a smile on their
face and they're always bubbling. So sometimes it's a chemical imbalance.

(53:37):
It's just the way you're built. And other times, you know,
people just get desperate at a moment in time and
do something. And this is, you know, a tragedy, and
his family's worried. People will worried about him, and it
is a shame. And the course, the CTE conversation will
probably be there as well. Three two, three, five, three eight,

YouTube last couple of days. But as you guys can hear,
my voice is really struggling. So at night I'm trying
to take it easy. If you miss any show, grab
the podcast coming up. Zach Abram, Chiefstment Officer Board Capital
Joints Program.

Speaker 23 (54:13):
This is the Chad Benson Show, then Chad Benson Show,

(54:41):
The Chad Benson Shows time a little bit.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Tucks are our man, Jack Abram, true friendsman officer board Capital.
He is a friend of the show, sponsors show and
quite frankly, the best damn financial guy in the business,
all right, first and foremost man right out the gate.
So a trillion dollars for old Elon Musk and his
new deal that is is insane.

Speaker 15 (55:03):
It is unless you put into context what will Tesla
do this year? One hundred and fifty billion in revenue,
two hundred billion in revenue something like that, And they
make automobiles and they're currently if I remember correctly, their
net margins are like eight percent and the company's trading

(55:24):
at six times revenue with a one and a half
twenty dollars market cap.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
So as insane and not says the pay package is.

Speaker 15 (55:32):
I think if you take Elon Musk out of Tesla,
I think it's probably within six months a two hundred,
one hundred and fifty billion dollar company.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
I thought this today, Zach, when I was reading about it,
I thought they needed to He figured there was a
moment I think where he thought, I'm gonna throw everything
at the window and say, if you guys want me
to stick around, you're gonna pay me. It's million dollars,
and that's gonna happen. Because I'm also looking around going
I got other things that I think are going to
be better right now at this moment in time, and

(56:00):
this is a battle. I am not going to beat
the Chinese at at this moment in time. We've done
a lot with Tesla, but I've got other things that
I think are bigger. And they just finally said, you
want a trillion, We'll give you a trillion. But you
can't tweet all day and you can't run around doing
five other thousand things. You got to focus a little
bit on this.

Speaker 15 (56:19):
Yeah, And they have very like I mean, I'm sure
there's clawback provisions or there's there's some w Yeah, there's caveats,
there's step ups and stuff, but it's it's pretty Yeah.
But one of the things I don't think you can discount,
and I'm not I'm not making this a prediction, but
one of the things I don't think you can discount
is the idea of what you just said being one

(56:39):
hundred percent true.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
And I think that I think the.

Speaker 15 (56:43):
Trillion dollar pay package is fuel to that fire. I mean,
I think I think it bolsters that opinion that you've got.
But I also think with the emergence of AI and
the way SpaceX is going, I get the feeling that
Tesla's become somewhat boring to him. Yeah, so I think
it's an automobile company, right, It's an automobile company, and

(57:04):
he's trying to sell the whole robot idea. I don't think.
I don't think Musk. I think that you're closer to reality.
I think you're closer to the truth than most people realize.
I think that that's the pay package it required for
him to stay plugged in at Tesla. I think that's
the best way to put it. And had they not

(57:25):
capitulated and given him that, I think he would have
been fine moving on because whatever, remember, if he wants
to start selling those robots. The optimists from Tesla think
about the investments that Tesla has put into place globally
to give them the global manufacturing base they have. China's
going to keep killing them. They announced good numbers that

(57:48):
everybody paid attention to in the short term, and we
just sat there, guys, it's because the tax exemptions are ending. Okay,
watch what happens right after this. Okay, so next quarter,
right after that, we just got numbers out of China's
sales are down ten percent again. Meanwhile, sales for all
the Chinese based evs are still skyrocketing. Right, So it's
not just that their sales are declining. They're rapidly losing

(58:10):
market share. And I think China is kind of the
best test ground right now for the global V market,
because except in the United States, that's what Tesla's going
to be competing for, competing against all around the world.
Musk is insanely smart. I think he knows that he
does not have the ability, for several reasons, to compete

(58:31):
with Tesla, especially on the lower end mass market cars.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
He just doesn't.

Speaker 15 (58:36):
He can't. He can't compete with their cost of manufacturing.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
He can't.

Speaker 15 (58:39):
He's been passed up on the full self driving, He's
been passed up on battery life and range, on these things.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
And Yeah, I don't think the pivot. I don't.

Speaker 15 (58:47):
I don't think the pivot to making robots and selling
them as quickly as he says.

Speaker 34 (58:52):
I just.

Speaker 15 (58:54):
Yeah, I think the trillion dollar pay package is far
more reflective of what it took to keep E unplugged
in it Tesla, then it is reflective of his thoughts
about what where Tesla's going or what they're going to accomplish.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Absolutely. Talking to Zach Abraham, chie vestment Officer Bowler Capital,
one thing I didn't see much talked about today was
the job numbers overall, how many jobs we've lost year
over year, which is massive, and we have not and
you know this, man, some of those things were jobs
that were people over hired during the pandemic and some

(59:27):
of these things. That's just a natural shedding of certain things.
But there's a lot that isn't. And then you start
talking about AI before we even get to the new year,
and you start thinking to yourself, just because people, it's
weird because just because people are going to be potentially
losing their jobs doesn't mean businesses are going to be
losing money. They're just running leaner and demeanor.

Speaker 15 (59:47):
Yeah, And here's one of my concerns too, is that
it seems to me like the real first bit of efficacy,
the real meaningful efficacy that you're going to get out
of AI, is the replacement of the rudimentary laborer, right,
the person taking your order at McDonald's, the person scanning
your car to.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
McDonald's, that that kind of thing.

Speaker 15 (01:00:08):
And so the savings are going to be really good
for the companies that do that, but their core customer
base or the very people they employ, right, So that's
an issue. It's also a revenue and a profitability constraint, right, meaning, yeah,
we can do this and that's going to save us
money on labor costs, but it's also going to be

(01:00:29):
oppressive to the same economy that we rely on for,
you know, for revenue. The other thing that I think
that you've so that creates an issue, and one of
my fears is kind of the collusion or the the
you know, the intersection point of a lot of these
issues meeting together, right, coalescing together. And my fear is

(01:00:50):
that that reduction in the labor force kind of collides
with the realization that a lot of this AI investing
is not going to be economically viable.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
No, just no, I mean, what's his name, Michael Burry?
What you and everybody's talking yesterday? What do you he short?
Basically one point one billion dollars He thinks is the
AI is eventually going to pop. And I'm like, I think,
I mean, you and I have been talking about it
for a long time. It's going to be around. But
what's going to happen is it's going to pop and
there's going to be three or four winners and everybody
else is going to be gobbled up or disappear.

Speaker 9 (01:01:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
So, so here's kind of the framework that we're thinking
about it in.

Speaker 15 (01:01:27):
So I don't know what the tally is now on
total investments in AI infrastructure and stuff like that, but
let's say it's I'm pretty sure it's already north of
two trillion.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Let's say that numbers four trillion. Okay.

Speaker 15 (01:01:39):
You're talking about an investment a capex and single sector
of the economy that's the equivalent of, you know, twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Two percent the entire size of our GDP. Okay.

Speaker 15 (01:01:50):
So if you have that kind of capital investment into
a single play, what kind of returns and when do
you need to start realizing them for that that same
capex investment that everybody's so excited about right now, you know,
becoming a black hole for profits and margins in the
not too distant future. And one of the things that
I think as a tell right now is the fact

(01:02:13):
that the other day was a classic classic day. Okay,
so Google announces that now, I think that just you know,
we own Google. I think when you look at the
AI space, I think that Google is one of the
companies that is the best position to dominate and make
a lot of run for a variety of different reasons
in the AI space. They're also a company that on

(01:02:34):
their own financial metrics right now is trading at a
very reasonable valuation even with the tech hype, in the
AI hype. But you looking at that looking at that
whole landscape, and like I said, when you start thinking
about the returns that have to come off of those investments,
and then you start thinking about where that's going to

(01:02:56):
come from. Meaning so a lot of the savings that
AI is going to create come at the cost of
the broader economy in terms of jobs and revenues.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Right, it's a very mixed bag.

Speaker 15 (01:03:07):
Okay, So when you're telling the AI is going to
be so profitable, what that means is you're going to
see a massive expansive expanse in GDP, right, because if
all it does is steal production from other segments of
the economy, you're not going to really see it boost
GDP much. You'll see a boost productivity, but at the
cost of GDP growth and standard is living and all

(01:03:28):
that kind of stuff. So when you start thinking about
five years out, let's say the total the total capex
ends up being four trillion over the next five years,
what types of revenues and profitability do you need to
see just so these people can service their debts? So,
like I was getting to the other day, in order
to finance more build out on the AI side of it,
Google announces a thirty billion debt offering. Thirty billion dollar

(01:03:48):
debt offering. Okay, on the news of a thirty billion
dollar debt offering, their stock went up one percent, or
the equivalent of about thirty five billion dollars. So what
the market is telling you is that they see a
dollar of spending on AI being worth two dollars in
in enterprise value.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Think about that. Think about what a.

Speaker 15 (01:04:10):
Perversion of finance that is. You take on thirty billion
dollars a debt, so your market cap goes up by
thirty eight billion dollars. So thirty billion dollars a debt
adds sixty eight billion dollars to your enterprise value. That
so what you're saying to me then, is that you
just made an investment that you have no idea when

(01:04:32):
or how much it will pay out, and the market
is booking that as a profit. That's just and look
I'm oversimplifying it a little bit. But when your stock
goes up thirty eight billion dollars on the announcement of
a thirty billion dollar debt offering. There are all kinds
of assumptions that have to be made for that price
to be accurate. It means, first of all, we have

(01:04:55):
full faith that you're going to invest every one of
those dollars productive productively. And second all, it's that your
debt or the the the impairment of your own balance sheet,
and the increase of debt servicing costs, which does what
hits your net margins, That all of these things, we're
already going to give you two for one on how
we value your company based on each invested dollar.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
It's nonsensical.

Speaker 15 (01:05:20):
If this was a market that was operating properly, you
would at least, at very least you would see multiples
holding constant as the market says, look, we're not going
to punish you for this spend, but we're also not
going to reward you. We got to see how it
plays out, right. I'm not saying that multiples should be collapsing,
but as you're taking on unparalleled levels of debt for record,

(01:05:45):
you know, CAPEX spending cycle that we've never even seen,
the likestuff booking all of that immediately is profit like,
it's all productive winning investment. I don't know I think
that that has a very as close to zero chance
of playing out that way of anything I've ever seen. Now, clearly,

(01:06:06):
some of these investments are going to be huge winners.
The majority of them won't be. That's just the way
this works. And when you see the way the market
is treating it. That's why I think it's a ridiculous
argument to ask is it a bubble in Ai?

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Of course it is. The question really becomes.

Speaker 15 (01:06:24):
How pernicious and how deep and how impactful is that bubble?
And unfortunately we're not going to know that until we
see it play out. But here's the other thing that
freaks me out, Chad. If you think that we are
on top of it in Ai and you think that
all of this spending is going to be warranted and
is going to be fruitful and going to be productive

(01:06:46):
and all that kind of stuff. If you think Silicon
Valley is doing the right thing, you simultaneously think everybody
in China's not. Yes, And there are a lot of
really smart people in China, and truth be told, when
it comes to manufacturing and things like that, they've been
kicking our ass for a while. Right, there's something that
you know that you learn in investing is be very,

(01:07:09):
very careful assuming that your counterparty is an idiot. Oh yeah,
don't do that, right, If there's a don't assume the
guy you're buying that asset from an idiot. He's owned
it longer than you have. Yeah, right, so he's selling
it for a reason. U. There is a reason China's
CAPEX and AI is nothing like ours.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Now.

Speaker 15 (01:07:29):
I'm not saying I have full confidence there, right, and
I know we're wrong. What I'm saying is there's a
lot of arrogance I see right now being deployed in
Silicon Valley towards this AI spend. There's a lot of
arrogance I see in investors right now assuming that we're
right on it, and there are a lot of really
smart engineers in China that don't think this is the

(01:07:50):
right way to go about it. And that concerns me.
That concerns me.

Welcome to chest No, not the country, the institution, The
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
All right, kids and kittens, boys and girls, friends of
all ages. That is that time of the program where
we get a little educated on the vernacular that the
utes of America use on a daily basis. I heard
this one yesterday and I was laughing the kids. You
know what, they keep me informed even though they don't
know they're keeping me informed because I'll hear them say

(01:10:22):
something them like what'd you say? What does it mean? Interesting?
This one? You'll be able to use this one with
your kids.

Speaker 35 (01:10:29):
Let's get to it 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 2 (01:10:43):
Okay, this one's interesting. Dry texting. Dry texting, that's one
word replies. So it's even like if somebody says, hey,

(01:11:04):
you up for dinner? Sure? The ultimate in dry texting,
too is k like okay. So either somebody's really busy
or they don't want to talk to you. And if
you want them to participate, pay more in the conversation.

(01:11:27):
You tell them they need to hydrate the conversation. Dry
texting is your urban word of the day.

Speaker 6 (01:11:36):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Now you know, it's always good to know, kids, It's
always good to know. Hydrate the conversation, you kids. I
do like that though, saying hydrate the conversation. Man, will
you try texting me? Hydrate the conversation? Get involved? That's
all I'm trying to say, speaking getting involved. You could

(01:12:00):
do that. Got a lot of tech coming in three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your X,

Read here on The Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our

(01:12:21):
number three of the program, last hour of the week,
a lot of stuff to get to. We get a
little what's trending going on some finally Friday sounds as well.
Our buddy Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy Institute of Public
Policy Research, it's good to join the program kind of
give a recap of the week and where he thinks
the Republicans need to go and if this is something
they should be worried about. Right, you've heard from me.

(01:12:42):
Let's hear from some other folks as well about this,
and you can reach out to us across all of
our social media. We do love hearing from me, Like say,
hydrate the conversation, be a part of it. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show x, Insta,
YouTube and facebookurnumber three The Chad Benson Show, Straight Ahead.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Chaos and the Skies, not so much. Chaos actually is
on the ground because some will not get in the
skies because of the shutdown, and it's affecting my family
because now it looks like my wife's going to drive
my daughter home back to Arizona. It is a frustration

(01:13:55):
that I'm hearing more and more. I'm looking at the
misery indexed and this could potentially be the beginning. Now,
I do believe next week they are going to fix
this situation with the government shutdown. Doesn't mean it's going
to be smooth and overnight everything's return to normal, but
I do think that is going to happen sometimes next week,
but there's no doubt that this weekend it is going

(01:14:16):
to be uh lee.

Speaker 36 (01:14:18):
The Trump administration says they're trying to ease the strain
on thirteen thousand air traffic controllers, but some critics argue
it's just to move to pressure Democrats to reopen the government.
As the shutdown reaches day thirty eight, this as more
than sixty thousand TSA agents are also working without pay.
These essential workers forced to decide if they can even
afford to keep showing up on the job.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
You know, I said yesterday, I was talking about this
on my local show and a few people, and here's
the thing about what we do in radio and stuff.
You've got the Fox Listener over sixty five or in
and around there, right, you know, it's I was like

(01:15:02):
liking it too when Shane Gillis, the comedian's talking about
you know, the the the Fox Listener and and it's
it's it's black Church for white guys. And it makes
me laugh when he talks about that. You know, so
their world is fine. They're retired, they've got money, uh,

(01:15:23):
you know, or they own a business, or they've got
you know, their houses for the most part paid off.
They're you know, they're living pretty good. Ah, these kids
are the worst and blah blah blah, blah blah. And
then you know, and when I talked about this yesterday
about the frustration that the air traffic controllers are feeling

(01:15:43):
and TSA and I, let's be honest, I make fun
of Tessay a lot. It was hilarious. Some of the
people that I got texts from who were talking about
those people need to stop whine and do their damn job.
They'll get paid one day. Can't believe they make that
much money, and they feel like they're already broke. And
it was so funny. But it shows you the cast

(01:16:05):
and we have in this world where you know, let's
be honest, the political world that you live in, whether
it's on the right of the left, it's kind of
like a locker room. Right. You got Lebron James and
he's forty something and you got Bronni James and he's
twenty something and everything in between, and their worlds are different,

(01:16:28):
and people are feeling it. And this weekend, I'm telling
you guys, it's if it goes on much longer past
this weekend into next week and beyond, it is going
to be ugly. But it starts this weekend with the
first real snapshot of people who aren't involved in the

(01:16:48):
government feeling the government shut down in a way that
is going to I think speed up the process of
getting them back in the room discussing getting out of
this shut down.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
The airports that are affected by this are all across
the country. The big airports, smaller airports we're talking about
all the New York area airports Los Angeles, or Orlando, Memphis, Miami, Minneapolis, Oakland, Portland, Philadelphia,
but also smaller airports like Teterborough Airport that handles a
huge amount of private jet traffic just outside New York City.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Yeah, so small to medium, and then of course lax
logan everything in DC. And the private jet thing was
very interesting because I saw a couple of people's fixed
to some of this was stop all private jets from leaving.
If they're not flying, they're the movers, they're the shakers,

(01:17:46):
they're the millionaires and billionaires. They're the ones who have
the power and the connection. And some of them may
be political as well, on the politician side, and if
they're not moving, then they're going to be even more
pissed than ever before. And I start laughing. I'm like,
that's that's I mean, it's again, it's outside the box.
The reality is that's not gonna happen. But you know,

(01:18:08):
when you get to a position where you're trying to
figure everything out, you throw everything.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
It's the all air traffic controllers are already stressed out.
They're working six days a week, in many cases ten
hours a day. They've been short staffed for years, and
this is adding more stress to an already bad situation,
and that makes disguise over the United States less safe
with each day that this shutdown continues.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
And I saw Sean Duffy again this morning, and I
will say so far I think he's been the most
impressive of Trump's appointees in the administration. And you know
what's interesting, you didn't hear much. I mean, you know,
normally when you hear from the Transportation secretary, something bad's

(01:18:53):
gone on or it is a holiday, and you know,
they come out to their mind every buddy. But I
think he's handled this pretty damn good. And he came
out today and he said, like, because I think he's
put politics asides. I mean, every once in a while
you got to say it's the Democrats fault. But his goal,
he said, my number one goal is safety in the air. Absolutely.

(01:19:15):
I always go back to this and my buddy Chris,
who was retired but he was worked for Virgin for
a very long time and he was a captain. He
says that the reason that we talk about souls when
we're talking about passengers, the reason that we do that
is because there is a certain importance being thirty three

(01:19:40):
thousand feet in the air, flying, having that responsibility of
these human beings, these lives on board. And I think,
you know, Sean Duffe's handled it well. You go from
there to you know, it's still being shut. You had
yet another hearing yesterday about.

Speaker 32 (01:19:58):
SNAP tense court hearing, a federal judge in Rhode Island
rebuked President Donald Trump for withholding SNAP benefits based on
what he said were political reasons. DOJ lawyers argued that
millions of Americans are set to get half their normal
SNAP benefits because the government saving emergency funds for child
nutrition programs, but the judge said the Trump administration was

(01:20:20):
intentionally mixing up the funding sources. The child nutrition programs
are funded through May, so we ordered the Trump administration
used four billion dollars of that money to pay for
SNAP benefits by tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Also yesterday, a group that does kind of a once
over always on the organizations when it comes like the
USDA and whatnot, did report and send it to them,
and the USDA, I think, said that originally thought people
were going to get thirty five percent of their SNAP benefits.

(01:20:54):
Now they're thinking it's gonna be closer to fifty, but
it could be none. And how long is this going
to go on? Again? You can they're gonna push this
as long as possible, as long as they possibly can,
because the more pain people feel and both sides do it,
the more they think it energizes people to act and

(01:21:20):
to get messages across to the parties to fix the problem.

Speaker 14 (01:21:27):
And so.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Trump and them are going to say, well, it's in
this over here. Well, no, you mingle the funds. That's
not what you're supposed to do. And they're gonna say, no,
we didn't and you can't force us, and you're wrong.
And again frustrating, very frustrating, because we deserve better than
these two parties arguing, and people are getting sick and
tired of it. They are they're frustrated, not just in

(01:21:53):
in this this snapshot of the last you know, almost
forty days.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
The board.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
People are frustrated. I've heard more people in the last
two three weeks say I'm over these parties. Right the
reason Mandani and there was the big you know blue
whatever it was mini trickle because it wasn't not everything
was on the board obviously wasn't a mid term last
week or Tuesday, but there was something that sent a

(01:22:23):
message and the Republicans will ignore it at their own peril.
They better start getting comfortable to the word affordability again.
They used it really well in twenty twenty four. They
better start using it again. But it is not just
about affordability. They're frustrated because they see this world now
dominated by extremes, where a conversation and nuance is tossed out,

(01:22:49):
where we're at each other's throats, and it's more about
the tribe than it is the actual results. And truth
over the last year has gotten further and further away.
And to me, that is the thing that drives me

(01:23:10):
the most crazy, is it's the truth factor. And look,
politics is politics. They're gonna spin it right. Job numbers
will figure it out. Inflation, eh, you know, we're gonna
take this out. We're gonna put this in these numbers.
You know, though, going out there, whether or not stuff's

(01:23:33):
more expensive, whether or not you are working on a
day to day basis at a corporation or a company,
or you are somebody who has a few different jobs
and you kind of hustle, you understand where the economy's
at better than a lot of people who are trying
to spin stories to make you feel that life is

(01:23:58):
better or worse than it is. And it's just so
damn frustrating. And I hear from you guys every day
how frustrated you are. It's so ridiculous and That's why
I thank god so far they're resisting Trump's calls to
eliminate the filibuster because I tell you what, if you

(01:24:20):
think it's bad now, if they eliminated the filibuster, we
are going to see wide swings from far right to
far left. The average normal, not insane person, which is
the exhausted majority of us, will have very little say anymore. So,

(01:24:42):
thank goodness, Thune and Kennedy and Paul are saying, yeah,
we're not doing that. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your Acts, your Insta, your YouTube and more. Buddy. Speaking

(01:29:58):
the disgust that so many people have for Tucker Carlson
and his interview with Nick Fuentes and the way that
he treated Ted Cruz. It is just it's weird to
watch cause I'm a grown up, you know, one of

(01:30:21):
the things that I don't do, and you guys know,
I'm not a big fan of the hyperbole. It would
be so easy, I tell everybody that all the time
for me just to come in here and just say
the most outrageous things, and I try not to because

your YouTube and more coming up Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute
of Public Policy Research. Let's get his thoughts on this
week's elections and where the Republicans go from here. We'll
do that straight ahead. Chad Benson, Joey, Chad Benson, joe.

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

Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
It is that time of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
We talked to our good buddy Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute
of Public Ballacy Research. All right, Jim, let's get it
out of the way. Tuesday night. That was a bit
of a shellacking. I'm more in the camp of even
what Ted Cruz said, what Brett Bear said, this is
a messaging problem the Republicans have. This is a serious

(01:31:48):
wake up call. I'm not in the camp of the
likes of Oh, Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson, where this
is no big deal. I think this is a bigger
deal than they're letting on to be.

Speaker 33 (01:32:00):
I'm not really sure. I'm sure, I'm probably somewhere in
the middle. You are doing a little bit more now.
I mean, basically, you're talking about states that Democrats tend
to win in. Republicans did have Virginia and Trump did
carry it. But it's just, you know, it's not like
they lost seats in Texas or something. So from that aspect,

(01:32:20):
I'm not that as concerned. But I think it's a warning.
I don't think it's a canary and a coal mine,
but I definitely think it's a winning or. I think
it's a warning about, you know, about going forward where
you go again. Some we've talked about before candidate quality counts.
New Jersey was pretty good, Virginia wasn't bad. But I'm
not sure that you know, there wasn't any campaigning for
Trump there that that that that would help her out

(01:32:41):
in the southern part of Virginia.

Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
And there's no JD. Vans either.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public Policy Research, we
talked about politics and whatnot. Uh, the Republicans need to
to One of the things I've been talking about is affordability.
And you can sit there and this is one of
the things you know, but it's like you you pick
on Trump. I don't pick on Trump. First of all,
you're the leader. You're going to get some slingscenarrows at you,

(01:33:05):
and the buck stops with you. That's what you want, well,
telling people that you need to understand how great things are.
It's the best. And when people don't feel it. It's
the same thing that happened with Biden telling everybody how
great everything is. Then they look in their checkbook and
they say, you know what, you may tell me that,

(01:33:26):
but my eyes tell me something different.

Speaker 4 (01:33:29):
No, absolutely absolutely correct.

Speaker 33 (01:33:31):
And you basically set it up perfectly with the different
with Biden or Biden keep no, No, you don't understand
the inflation's transitory. You're really not seeing real inflation, you know,
you're imagining it's like, well, no, my checkbook's telling me
it's real inflation.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
Guys, it's really happening.

Speaker 33 (01:33:44):
And yeah, and the cost of living is going up
in a race which is luckily going up slower. And
I'm not sure exactly how much we expect or can
reasonably expect for prices to go down. When to me,
when Trump says, and maybe this is I'm interpreting it
this way, when he says the prices are going to
go down, to me, it means the rate that they're
growing is going to go down.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
Yeah, you know, I mean there are some things that down.

Speaker 33 (01:34:07):
Chickens have gone down, eggs have gone down, you know.
I basically I kind of look at it as as
the burrito index. I was taking ninety nine cents for
frozen burritos before the pandemic, and they're now a dollar
sixty nine on sale.

Speaker 4 (01:34:21):
But they were a dollar ninety nine a while ago,
So that's a little bit better on that.

Speaker 33 (01:34:24):
That's just my example you know, of what I look
kind of what I look look at as a you know,
as an idea, as a term of m as a
way to value different things that were they were doing.
But yeah, some things have gone and lemon juice has
gone down, which is obviously very you know, very very
niche type of thing, but fruits have gone up and
things like that. So yeah, and especially talking about housing, Yeah,

(01:34:45):
I don't know really what you do about that. I
know in California, things that have gone up are insurance,
gas prices, and electricity, and those really aren't things that
Donald Trump has has his hand on. The home owners
insurance because of the fires and just because of the
marketplace in general has basically doubled here when I was,

(01:35:06):
you know, people were paying seven hundred and fifty eight
hundred dollars a year for their insurance. Are now paying
fifteen hundred and seventeen hundred dollars for the same insurance.
Hurt somebody today talk about twenty five hundred dollars to sorry,
seventeen hundred and fifty dollars or forty two hundred dollars
in shortge on.

Speaker 4 (01:35:19):
And they don't live in a they don't live in
a real fire area either.

Speaker 33 (01:35:23):
So yeah, there actually was a call today for the
Insurance Commission Richard Lawa out here to resign because people
are finding a the complexity of rebuilding and b that
those were on the state sponsored insurance plan are not
finding all the money there that they thought they were
going to get to rebuild their houses.

Speaker 4 (01:35:40):
So that's a bit of a problem too.

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
we talked about politics and whatnot. Uh Mandannie, I don't
fear them. I think that, you know, I quite frankly
from what I've heard from people, you know in the
now that people like talk to you a lot too,
are in and around you know, the the the White
House and whatnot. Trump kind of thinks it's funny because

(01:36:02):
he likes the fact that the guy pushes back on him.
I don't fear him. I don't think he's going to
destroy New York. But you and I have talked about this, Jim.
I mean, this is a perfect opportunity to take a
peek and see what it looks like if you want
to run this kind of let's tax everybody and we'll
give everybody free stuff. The reality is nobody worth their
weight on the Council or Kathy Holkel is going to

(01:36:25):
allow that to happen.

Speaker 33 (01:36:27):
No, it's probably not going to be what He's not
going to be delivering a lot of his campaign promises.
And again, like you mentioned, he took affordability as a
very large talking point for the you know, for those
that aren't you know, well established in New York that
are paying as you you generally say, you know, you're
making a one hundred and twenty two thousand dollars a
year and you're living four up in a one bedroom

(01:36:47):
apartment with a bathroom down the hall. I don't know
really what's going to be done for them, because you
can only do so much with rent control. There already
is extentive rent control in New York City. You know,
it's going to be taxed the rich. But again, the
rich have the ability to walk and to go other places.
So if you make it too you know, if if
you make it too gruesome on them, they'll leave and
then you lose a lot of your tax base. And

(01:37:08):
then who do you tax, well, the middle class, Well
they're not the they're the people that are voting for
you to to tax the rich. And that's not gonna
end well either. So Yeah, it'll be interesting. I'll be
an interesting socially experiment to see what he can do.
You know, he's been fair, you know, he fairly charismatic,
which is why he got as many votes as he
did and was able to sway as many people as
he has. Let's see what he can do about swaying

(01:37:28):
government and governing. You know, it's like dan if I
remember it's a great line at the end of the
Robert Redford movie the candidate when they're they look at
each other when they realize a one. He goes, well,
now what do we do? Yeah, it's like you're governing now.
You won the Senate. You one that you're the mayor
of New York. You're the mayor of nine million people.
How do you How are you going to govern?

Speaker 35 (01:37:47):
Now?

Speaker 33 (01:37:47):
How are you going to govern a city of nine million,
nine million people with the stuff that you've projected, with
the amount, with the money that's involved. You're not gonna
be able to start putting in new taxes tomorrow.

Speaker 9 (01:37:57):
You may not.

Speaker 33 (01:37:57):
You may have a city council that doesn't let you
go very far, and you're not going to get a
lot of help necessarily from the state as far as
raising taxes and everything keeps going up, and your infrastructure
costs of going up daily, and people are complaining about
crime as it is before you got there, and you
didn't have a lot of answers to basically more police.
Your answers were fewer police. So how are you going

(01:38:18):
to keep the city safe? Because that really is something
once you get your basic needs met as far as
food and housing, safety is another one. So how am
I going to you know, how do I know that?
I'm meane, we'll right on the subway and be safe.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
we talk, you know, it's up about politics and whatnot's
pop culture? Uh, Jim, I look at the thing with
the tariffs. I think we can. You know, if you've
listened and studied the Supreme Court long enough, you understand
how they asked the questions and the pushback really kind

(01:38:51):
of shows you where they're leaning. It felt like, okay,
they're they're probably going to say, you know, Trump, this
this is reach here, and you don't have this, this
is not your purview. And I think after that we're
gonna have a bit of a mess. And I don't
know where we go from here, because they were concerned
about the mess. But that's not their job to be

(01:39:12):
concerned about the mess. But I think tariffs. I think
that this is actually a good thing for Trump because
I don't think he really thought the tariffs were going
to be this much of a pain in his ass.

Speaker 9 (01:39:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 33 (01:39:24):
No, he thought it was gonna people were gonna basically know,
he would he would make the proposals. Everybody would cringe,
and then they would come cowering back there. Okay, fine, fine,
you know, you know you win, you win, President Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:39:34):
You know, we'll we'll give in.

Speaker 33 (01:39:35):
We'll uh, you know, we'll agree to reduce our terrorifts
by fifty percent and you agree not the razars by
you know, by by twelve or fourteen points or something.

Speaker 4 (01:39:43):
And it hasn't been that way.

Speaker 33 (01:39:44):
Some some countries have again, some countries have also made
and companies and countries have made commitments for investment.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
We've talked before about that.

Speaker 33 (01:39:53):
Well, yeah, okay, great, they make it a they make
a commitment that they're gonna invest, you know, a trillion
dollars over the next fifteen years. Well, Trump's only in
office for three a little over three years. Now, what
happened four years from he's like, Eh, you know what,
we're not going to make the investment because the next
president isn't going to have any tariffs and.

Speaker 4 (01:40:08):
We're not gonna have to worry about it anymore. So
all that investment that that he's claiming.

Speaker 33 (01:40:12):
Is coming in rightly so because he didn't get them
to commit to it, doesn't really have any recourse when
they decided to walk away from it, and a lot
of that disappears, and they don't have to make the
products here, they don't have to make the chips here,
and they can just go back to making them in
whatever third world country they want to save the money
and we don't and we don't put a tariff on
because the new administration, as you know, like that. So
that's that's definitely something that can that can affect those things,

(01:40:35):
because you know, this is a this is a guy
that that's got three and a half years left in
the in the White House, and who knows who's going
to come behind him. Could be jad Evan, could be
somebody else, could be somebody who's completely different on tax
policy and tariff policy. And yeah, it hasn't been as
smooth and it has been somebody that's been overhanging. I
think the stock market since day one about concerns about
it because they don't want to see the tariffs because

(01:40:56):
they know that it's just going to be people taking
money out of the economy. Between they got les dispence
less to spend, I means are gonna be buying as
many things, and the markets will probably be going down
because you're basically adding indirect tax into the markets and
that's not going to be a good thing for any
of the any for consumer spending in general.

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy answered to Public Policy Research
last question, how much longer do you think this shutdown
is going to last? Because you know, the poly market,
several of the other things I've looked at. It feels
like now I would like to think it would be
over by this weekend, but I don't know, because I

(01:41:35):
have a feeling if we get through this weekend and
early next week, we may be looking at past the sixteenth,
maybe into the week of Thanksgiving.

Speaker 33 (01:41:44):
You know, you know, we talked about this on the
on the live stream the other night about boy I
can't I mean, yeah, I could see the sixteenth, but
I can't see them going a lot past that, because,
like I said, if you strand eight hundred thousand people
in Chicago on on on on Thanksgiving Day because their
flights aren't there and they can't go to visit their family,
their friends, their relatives, their vacations, if they're not so

(01:42:06):
inclined with family, that is not going to go overwhelm.
They're going to remember the person that stranded them in
Thanksgiving twenty five in an airport somewhere because they're warn't
enough flights because they we warn't enough air traffic controllers
to basically to cover the sky. So yeah, I think
definitely you've got to get this fixed by before that week.
So basically we're looking at slightly over two weeks from now.

(01:42:29):
You've got to get this thing fixed because it will
come back to haunt whoever side they want to blame.
And since the Republicans are running administration, they're the ones
that need to have the air traffic controllers in the
booths and all the planes in the air I know
somebody was talking to him today about it.

Speaker 4 (01:42:45):
He's heading out next week to go on vacation and
he's at.

Speaker 33 (01:42:49):
One of those forty he's going to be visiting at
least one, if not two of those forty airports. They're
put on a list yesterday that are going to have
reduced service from there because of the fact that there's
just not enough air traffic tollers and beginning to pair
back the system, you know. I mean, it's kind of
like an odd thing of all the things that are
involved with this government shut down, with the military and
with you know, with parks and rangers and all of

(01:43:11):
those things, but it's going to come down at this
time of the year. It's going to come down to
either air traffic control because there's so many people that
will be flying that week of Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
So you don't solve something there.

Speaker 33 (01:43:23):
I think that's you know, I think that you've got
you got Susie Wiles that's got to be able to
figure that out and come to them and say, look,
you know, however you want to do it, mister President,
make it look like you didn't capitulate, but you've got
to find a way past this by that Monday of
Thanksgiving week, So let's say two weeks from next Monday,
it's pretty much your cut off before you're really going
to start causing problems I think yep.

to sort this out, especially this weekend. Chaos at the airports.
You can already sense it. Flights are being canceled. In fact,

(01:49:12):
we're in this situation right now where our daughter, my
wife's deciding to she just drive her back to Arizona
and see her mom and hang out for a bit
because we're not sure and because she's on the spectrum.
The fear is if something was not to go right
next thing, you know, it becomes a nightmare, and we
just don't want that. So we will see what happens.
