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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Today what it's a big day to day. Trump's unveiling
new marching orders on doge. Welcome back to the Chad
Benson Show. It's me Rich Zioli with you today. They
let me back. It's amazing. I guess they were truly
desperate and couldn't find anybody. But I'm happy to be
with you. I'm the afternoon drive host on Talk Radio
twelve ten w PhD in Philadelphia and it's an honor
to be back with you today on Radio America and

(00:37):
the Chad Benson Show. So new marching orders on Doge.
I don't know if you saw this yesterday. Did you
see the Democrat fight video that they put out which
I my ten year old son and I play the
Xbox sometimes typically Madden, typically Madden Football. As an Eagles fan.
You should know that we knew the Eagles were gonna

(00:58):
win the Super Bowl just because my ten year old
and I played played that Super Bowl game every which
way to Sunday, in every condition possible, and we won.
But we've also played various like street fight games, you
know what I mean, And for me, Mortal Kombat was
the one. You select your fighter and I think that
that's what those crazy Democrat women were doing. The only

(01:19):
one who even looked remotely attractive was AOC. But that's,
you know, for another show, obviously. But the kookiness continues,
and Senator John Fetterman is not happy with his party
not happy. I don't blame him. I mean, I don't
blame him at all. He's not happy with it with
his party because they're they're just they're nuts, and he's
calling them out. So when John Fetterman is calling his

(01:41):
own party out, a Democrat senator and he's Pennsylvania, he's
a guy who was the mayor of Braddock, PA. So
just you know, Braddock, PA is outside of Pittsburgh. If
you ever been to Pittsburgh. I went one time. There
were no twice I went. I was their election night
when Senator Dave McCormick won. I did my show from there.
But I went to Pittsburgh once in college with some

(02:02):
buddies who were from there. And there was this place
called the Oh the original hot Dog Shop, which I'm
told is actually closed now, which is a huge bummer.
But that's my great memory from Pittsburgh. That and Senator
Dave McCormick winning on election night, and then election night
as I'm doing my show live from there on WPHT
about six o'clock or so, because I'm on till seven.

(02:24):
But that night we were going even later. My producer
says to me, he goes, hey, he goes, the Trump
campaign just reached out and they want to get the
president on to talk to you. And I said, President,
Who said Trump? I said, wait, I said, Trump is
calling in on election night to talk to me about this?
He said yeah. I said, all right, well, yeah, we'll
make room for him. I mean, if the President decides

(02:47):
to call into the show this morning, we'll make room
for it. We'll accommodate him. That's typically the rule and
how that works, you know what I mean. So I said, sure,
no problem. I said, of course, we'd love to have him.
And you talk about Philadelphia. At the time, they were
all these rumors of election shenanigans going on in Philadelphia,
and I was texting with my people and my sources,
and they were saying, no, it's not true. What them,

(03:09):
don't worry about it. Just keep everybody in line. See
the whole point of this past election, A lot of
us thought twenty twenty was a fiasco. And I'm not
here to tell you that Joe Biden stole the election. However,
Joe Biden stole the election, so and by various means. Look,
you can have your theory and how that happened. I'll

(03:31):
give you two concrete examples that I can prove to
you on why that election was not real. Number one
is the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. So the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
in that election got involved and broke Pennsylvania state law.
See in Pennsylvania, the law is very clear. It says
that the time, matter, and place of the election is

(03:53):
determined by the state legislature. So we were doing mail
in ballots back then, if you remember, because everybody was
afraid of COVID. And so the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court
jumped in and said, in an unanimous decision, they said mail
in ballots can be received three days after the election.
They don't have to be postmarked, you don't need, you
don't eat the postmark, doesn't have to be legible. And

(04:13):
that was ridiculous. That was absolutely ridiculous. So you had
until Friday to get ballots in. And I know how
politics works. I cut my teeth in Jersey politics long
before I ever became a talk show host, and I
also was involved in Philadelphia politics. And if you don't
believe me when I tell you that dead people vote,
I'm going to quote a Democrat for you. Okay, there

(04:34):
was a guy in New Jersey. It was governor. His
name was Brendan Burn. You may know this if you
ever went to the East Coast and ever went to
the Brendan Burn Arena. That's what he used to call
it back in the day, and now it's something else
named after a bank or something. Anyway, he was a
very funny Democrat. He was a prosecutor in North Jersey
before he became governor, and he was beloved on both
sides of the Issle. He really was. I got to

(04:55):
know him in my years in Republican politics, and I
was very fond of the man because he was a really,
really nice guy. He really was like you know, you'd
go on trips and stuff and you'd talk to him.
They used to do this train ride to Washington and
I would sit next to him sometimes on the train
and bs with him. So when I tell you that
I don't hate Democrats in any way, shape or form.

(05:17):
But I know frauds, and so Gavin Newsom, for example,
is a total fraud who's now using the Maga movement
to try to rebuild himself to run for twenty twenty eight.
And my advice to anyone who's a talk show host
or an influencer or anything is don't go on his podcast.
He's completely full of it. He's going to use you
to try to rehabilitate his image as the guy who

(05:41):
ruined San Francisco as mayor and then California's governor. But
let me get back to that. So Brendan Byrne, who
was a very popular Democrat governor, two term governor in
New Jersey, he used to have this joke, and the
joke that he would tell was when I die, I
want to be buried in Hudson County so I can
stay active in politics. Now, depending on which Democrat county

(06:04):
he was in, he would change the joke up. So,
if you are familiar with Philadelphia, right across the river
is Camden, New Jersey. Camden, the city of Camden has
been it's it's it's it's gone through a lot. It's
gone through a lot. Let's just put it that way
the Battleship New Jerseys there, and some people had suggested
when they put the Battleship New Jersey there, they should

(06:25):
just start firing on the city, clear out the residence
of course first, and then just level it and kind
of rebuild. But they're trying, you know they're trying. But
it's it's a Democrat stronghold and in otherwise actually Republican
county of New Jersey. So if you would go to
Camden County and speak to the Democrats down there, he'd say,
when I die, I want to be buried in Camden
County so I can come back as a Democrat. He

(06:48):
made that joke because jokes, jokes are funny when they're
true and there's an element of truth to them, they're funny,
and that's funny. That joke is funny because it's true,
and he knows that because he was a Democrat two
term elected governor and also a prosecutor. My point is
that the other shenanigans that happened in twenty twenty is
that the Hunter Biden laptop letter came out. The story

(07:08):
came out in New York Post, and then fifty one
former National security executives told everybody that the laptop was
Russian disinformation propelled by the CIA, and then the corporate
media joined in with big tech and they covered up
the story and censored people, and they blocked anybody who
would talk about it. That was the ultimate example of
election interference. Speaking of Hunter Biden, he's now filing in

(07:34):
court saying he's broke now that Daddy's not president. His
crappy art can't sell it. In't that amazing his crappy art.
Some of the things he did was he would blow
art through, blow paint through a straw, I'm not kidding,
and then he would sell that for like half a
million dollars, and then the person would buy it and
then somehow get a visit to the White House. I
don't know how that works. It's a I'm not an

(07:56):
arc guy. You know, I'm not an arc guy. My
art expertise is not like somebody paid what is it,
like ten billion dollars for a banana with duct tape
or something like that in a music that's a real thing.
I don't know if it was ten billion, but paid
a lot of money. It's a true story. It was
a banana with duck take bone and somebody paid like

(08:16):
millions of dollars for that. I don't understand the art
world at all, so I don't want to get into that.
Other than Hunter Biden's art, if his name was Hunter Smith,
would be the kind of stuff that people would say, well,
my kindergarten daughter basically made that right, And certainly somebody
wouldn't buy for half a million dollars and then get
a visit to the White House. But Hunter Biden would

(08:36):
do that. And now he's in court screaming about his bankruptcies.
I have no money now. I can't make a living
now that Daddy's not in the White House. Nobody's buying
my paintings. So that was the election interference that happened
in twenty twenty. Those are two concrete examples I can
give you. It's not debatable. We all know the Hunter
Biden laptop story. We know the interference in late October

(09:00):
by the deep State, the CIA and all these intelligence
hacks and the corporate media and big tech. We know
what they did. We know what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
did in the must win swing state of Pennsylvania to
ensure ballots could be delivered late Those are all the
things we know that happened now anyway, John Fetterman. So
back to John Fetterman in Pennsylvania when Dave McCormick won

(09:21):
that night, and then we get a phone call from
the President who says, hey, is there Shenanigan's going on
in Philadelphia. I said no, mister President. I said, just
please reassure everybody to stay in line, because people were
waiting in line for hours. We had to build up
all this trust again with people that they could trust
the election and actually go out and vote and not
believe that it was going to be rigged and not

(09:42):
believe that it was going to be stolen. And that
took a lot of time and a lot of hard work.
And I give R and C Chairman Michael Wattley and
at the time the rn C CO chair Laura Trump
tremendous credit in working to convince Republican voters in the
swing states, particularly to trust the process, trust the election,
and get those mail and ballots in. We spent a

(10:02):
lot of time on that since I broadcast in Philadelphia
the swing stated the must win state of Pennsylvania, convincing
people trust the process, and a lot of them said
all right, all right, listen, Zeolie. I'll do this, but
if this election gets stolen, I'm gonna blame you if
I'm waiting in line for four hours. But they did.
They waited in line. So the President calls my show.
He says, please stay in line, don't get out of line.

(10:24):
He wins, McCormick wins. It's a great night. Everybody's happy,
and it wasn't even close. In Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, who's
a guy who's from the Pittsburgh area now is trying
to figure out a way that he can convince his
own party or convince people that he's not really like them,
that he's different. And he's doing that for his own

(10:44):
self interest because he knows that the only way he
can survive as a United States Senator in Pennsylvania is
if he can convince people that he's not like them,
not like the crazies. He's a different kind of Democrat.
And that's what he's trying to do. And what I'm
I'm telling you is, don't believe the hype. Don't believe
that John Fetterman is real when he tells you all

(11:06):
this stuff. He can't get elected, He can't get re
elected as a United States Senator in the state of Pennsylvania,
which I would argue, given the great work of people
like Scott Prestler and others, is no longer a swing
state but a solid red state. My point to you,
in the broader point is this, Nationally, you're going to
see other Democrats trying very very hard, now very hard

(11:29):
to say that they are not like their own party.

Oh my gosh, I kind of like it. I'm not
gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
What's not to like? Honestly, Welcome back, glad you're here
today on the Chad Benson Show. So Senator John Fetterman,
like I said, trying to act like he's just a
normal guy again because he's angry with his own party.
And if you're angry with your own party, then you
get a pass, right, that's what that's the game you play.
And I don't know if that case because for me personally,

(14:01):
I think that John Fetterman and Gavin Newsom and the
others are playing a game. The game being that let's
convince everybody we're not like the rest of them. And
if we do that, if we can convince everybody that
we're not like the rest of them, maybe, just maybe
they'll give us a second chance. We can rehabilitate ourselves
and separate us from the crazy, the crazy that's out there.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
See.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I think that if you are trying to stand out
right now from your own party as a Democrat, as
you see national political ambition, and I would not rule
out John Fetterman actually as a national political candidate. I
really wouldn't the only the only thing you can do
right now is try to separate yourself from crazy and
carve out a new lane. Politics very much about lanes.

(14:46):
Remember the game pole position when we were kids, Remember that,
I love that game. I'm gen exer. So you've got
to figure out which what your pole position is in
all this what's your pole position? So the one the
crazy lane right now is occupy that very full that lane.
So then you got the centrist laneh a little secret.
They're not really centrist. I'm just gonna just between you,

(15:06):
me and you, they're not really centrist. But in that
lane you've got Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. You've got Gavin
news From trying to get in this lane, even though
he belongs in the crazy lane, but he wants the
pole position in the in the in the centrist lane,
in right right in the center. And then there's another
guy to keep on the radar. And that's the love Gov.
That's right, the nursing home serial killer Andrew Cuomo, the

(15:30):
love Gov. He wants back, and he's gonna try if
he wins his mayor of New York, he's gonna try
to say that he should be in the centrist lane
and get the pole position in that. Do I believe
that he's a centrist. I believe he's a psycho, I
really do. This is the Chad Benson Show. It's me
rich Zi only for Chad. And I think that Cuomo

(15:52):
not only is he because I call him the nursing
home killer, I mean he really the guy got a
he got away with it. One of my favorite shows
is Dexter. I don't if you're a Dexter fan. Dexter
is the serial killer you love because he kills other
serial killers. But they have a new spin off of
that called Dexter Original Sin, which is the backstory. Because
everything has to have a backstory these days. You got

(16:14):
to have an origin story, you know what I mean.
If you don't have an origin story, then you know
you're not gonna get anywhere in life. Anyway, Cuomo Dexter
could learn a lot from Cuomo about how to get
away with killing people. So guy was never held accountable
for all those nursing homes. It's absolutely amazing. All right,
more on this lots to get to It's the Chad
Benson Show. I promise you don't want to go anywhere,

(16:36):
So stay right here when we come back. President Trump
says he's got a lot to say about.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
It is the Chad Benson Show. It's great to be
with you. Happy Friday. Rich is the only from talker
to your twelve ten WPHD with you today. We're talking
about Democrats and can they rehabilitate themselves and their crazy image.
And I've been teasing this, but let me play for
you the clip of Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania talking
to Tim Miller, who was a Republican many years ago,

(18:25):
huge never Trumper, and he's talking with Fetterman on the
podcast and this is the exchange.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
But for me, do you think they what they did
during the so Too? If you thought that was smart messaging,
if you landed what I'm saying though, this is what
I witnessed. What I witnessed wasn't helpful, and that wasn't
moving the ball for democrats. I don't believe that. And
if you can't just all stand and share for a

(18:55):
thirteen year old boy, that got I mean, I have
a thirteen year old myself. You know, got over cancer.
I mean, that's yeah, that's that's the wrong. That's the wrong,
that's the wrong message on that.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
I agree and kay both again.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
I remember, I remember, I.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
Remember when Joe Wilson, Joe Wilson, that jerk off yelled
you lie, you lie, you know, and and and everyone
recoiled it and like that was appalled by that, and yeah,
and it's like, yeah, so so now we became the
Joe Wilson of twenty twenty five. And that was a
loser in two thousand and nine, and I don't think
that's a winner or it's appropriate anymore now in twenty

(19:30):
twenty five.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
You know, first of all, the name that he called
Joe Wilson, and sorry I should have given you ear
muffs warning on that. The name that he called Joe
Wilson is part of the problem. See it's the name calling,
don't you get it. It's the nasty, negative name calling
that you're saying to people. That is part of the
problem here, John Fetterman, he yelled you lie, and that
I remember when that happened too. That was a huge debate.

(19:52):
Is it was it okay for Joe Wilson to lie
in twenty twenty five. Was that okay to yell at
Barack Obama? You lie? Was that really okay? And then
here he is calling calling them you know, ugly names.
Don't I'll give them a piece of advice. Seriously, I'll
give them a piece of advice. Stop being so freaking
angry like you lost. Deal with it. Deal with it,

(20:16):
and then try to try to rebuild and win, because
that's the only chance you have here. But you just
sound like such angry, negative people at a time when
the American people are looking for somebody to come along and,
you know, help them make money and rebuild their lives.
So I'm that point. Trump has paused terrorists from for
some goods from Canada and Mexico. He said yesterday he's
gonna put you He's gonna put a pause on this stuff.

(20:38):
And uh, we're else. You gonna work on egg prices.
We're gonna try to get those down because Secretary of
Agriculture has pointed out lots of different things about the
egg prices. It's not just simply that we're murdering chickens,
and we are. It's a slaughterhouse of chickens, it really
really is. But there's more to it than just that,
and I think it's important for everybody to know that
that the marketplace. In a lot of states too, they

(21:01):
have free range chicken laws, cage free chickens. Now, personally,
I don't care if the eggs are cage free or not.
I care about the price. That's me. I have other
friends who are like, no, no, no, no, But we
bet those eggs better be They better be free range chickens,
they better be cage free roaming around. The problem with that, though,
is they do fight with each other and the hens

(21:23):
tend to kill each other. But some states mandate that
by law, and then that also drives up the price
of eggs in those states, believe it or not, because
what happens is they can't get eggs from other states,
and so that you have a limited supply. They have
a high demand though, because everybody wants eggs, and so
the prices and particularly in states like Massachusetts, California and
others where they have laws like that, the egg prices

(21:46):
go up in a big, big way. So that's part
of the problem.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Now.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
The other part of the problem, of course, is that
we are sending so much money overseas. We're wasting money
on Doge and let's not forget that. This week the
president stood before the country and said he got a
letter from Vladimir Putin or I'm sorry Zelenski. He had
a call with Putin and he had a letter from
some of Zelenski, and he said, we want peace, we

(22:11):
want this mineral rights deal. Let's make this mineral rights
deal happen.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Now.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I think that would be great for the market. I
think the market would soar if.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
That was the case.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I really do. Here's why. Because we love peace and
we love the idea of war coming to an end.
It gives people confidence. There is something about war that
I think puts consumer confidence at risk. I really do.
I'm not an economist. I can't prove that point. I
just think that we all have this kind of uneasy
feeling when there's conflict in the world. And yeah, there's

(22:40):
always conflict in the world, but when the United States
of America is writing big, big checks for that conflict.
I've been big checks, you know. I'm talking in the
range of one hundred and fifty billion, maybe more. That
puts me as a consumer, I get a little uneasy,
you know what I mean? I get uneasy about that. Like,
at some point, maybe that money's going to translate into

(23:01):
maybe my son who's ten, who will be eighteen in
eight years, and if this thing's still going on, is
he going to be drafted to go fight a war.
I mean, that's the kind of stuff I think goes
through people's minds. I really do. I think it does.
I think it matters to people. You notice, early on
with the whole Ukraine thing, people had their signs out
that said this house stands with Ukraine. They had their

(23:23):
flags flying and everything, and that kind of went away
after a while. It made a brief comeback last week
after the whole incident in the Oval office with Zelensky
and Trump. Some people change their Facebook profiles, their Instagram
pro Instagram profiles to put a Ukraine flag up. But
the truth of the matter is that most Americans, deep
down inside want this to end. Because if the United

(23:46):
States is investing that kind of cash and it's not
working and we're committed to seeing this through, then that
means potentially, now World War three. Who said that, Joe
Biden said that. Joe Biden said, We're not sending them tanks.
This is World War three. We're not sending them planes.
That's World War three? What do we do? We sent
them tanks, We sent them planes. If Kambla Harris are

(24:07):
in the White House right now, God forbid my God.
Imagine that thought. She would have been up there the
other night telling Congress. And when it comes to our
and Zelenci probably would have been there when it comes
to Ukraine. We are with it to the end. Tonight,
I'm announcing another emergency aid package of one hundred billion
dollars to go to Ukraine. And all the Democrats would
stand up in cheer, and another one hundred billion dollars

(24:30):
would have gone to the military industrial complex. Is where's
that money going. It's going to companies that manufacture weapons
in the United States of America, Boweing, Lockheed, et cetera,
et cetera, and the defense contractors would be thrilled. Then
those weapons would go over to Ukraine. The war keeps going.
We're risking this with a nuclear adversary. You know, I

(24:52):
grew up watching a lot of movies like wargames. You
remember Wargames. That was a great one, wasn't it. Matthew
Broderick Wopper computer and the whole plot of war games.
If you've never seen it and spoiler alert. But it's
also like forty years old. So this I think maybe
even older than that, actually might be forty five years old.

(25:13):
I think it was nineteen eighty. The whole plot of
war games is that this, you know, the guys in
the silos don't launch the nukes, and so the computer
takes over the Whopper computer. And then and then Matthew
Broderick is this really smart high school whiz and he
manipulates into the system and he has the computer playing

(25:35):
a game with him called Thermo Thermo Global Nuclear War,
and the computer starts running all these simulations about nuclear
nuclear war, and then it go. They go to Defcon
one and they think we're about to have nuclear war.
So he's got a rush to Norad, you know, he
and the guy who invented the game, and they got

(25:56):
to go and they got a Joshua, remember the whole thing,
and they got to tone everything down before the nukes
get launched. When you're playing with nuclear countries, when you're
playing this game, you just don't know how it's going
to end. It could be a computer era, it could
be a guy who gets nervous. There is a there's

(26:16):
a great thing about the Cuban missile crisis not a
lot of people know about, but there was a story
of a submarine, a Russian sub that didn't get the
call to go back to Moscow, that this whole thing
had been called off, and so the protocol was that
if they don't hear from Moscow, they're supposed to launch.
In fact, there's a show right now streaming on Hulu

(26:39):
called Paradise. If you haven't seen it, I do recommend it.
It's actually really good. And I don't want to give
anything away about that because it's brand new and I
don't like spoiler alerts, but actually referenced that in the show,
and the commander of the submarine just had an instinct
not to launch nuclear missiles, and World or three was averted.

(27:02):
You just don't know when you're playing with a nuclear
country how it's going to go. Is somebody going to
get the wrong sign, Is somebody going to get the
wrong the wrong message? Is the computer going to act up?
Is the computer going to think something? It's just better
to end it, don't you think. I mean, just like
common sense dictates that. Remember the movie The Day After

(27:25):
That ran one time ABC showed that movie once. Jason
Robards was in it, Steve Gutenberg was in it. This
is pre Police Academy where he really shined. Am I right,
Police Academy? I mean Steve Guttenberg was the man in
those movies. And in the day after, you know, it's
all about a nuclear strike and then trying to rebuild
the country. Some of those scenes of the nuclear missiles detonating.

(27:50):
I remember remember the there was a wedding outside of
church and the bride just vaporized.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
Oof.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, it was rough. They had a huge warning on it.
You can find that movie online, but it was some
scary stuff. So I just I want this to end.
I think most people do, and I think we'd all
feel better as a country if it ended now. Tulca Gabbert,
who was a Democrat who left the Democrat Party, and
I have huge respect for Tulca Gabbert. I think the

(28:20):
game that Gavin Newsom and John Fetterman are playing right
now is a fraud, trying to convince everybody that they
are different from the rest of the party. I think
it's self serving. Toulca Gabbard left the Democrat Party, wrote
a book called For Love of country. Leave, not why
I left, but leave the Democrat Party, saying you got
to get out of this. This is a fiasco. And

(28:40):
I had a lot of listeners on my show who'd say,
to me, is the only listen I don't know if
I trust her. She was a Democrat all these years.
Is seems self serving. But I looked her in the
eye at Sea Pac where I did my show, she
came over to me, she sat down cross from me,
did an interview, looked her in the eye, and I said,
I believe you. It's the Italian to me, you know
what I mean. And I can tell when I look

(29:02):
in somebody's eyes, I can tell if they're telling me
the truth or if they're full of it. And she
was completely honest. Lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Reserve.
She wants peace. This is what she said Loura Ingram
last night on Fox News.

Speaker 9 (29:15):
You know, we have heard this before, over and over
and over again, this same tired tactic that anyone who
dares to stand for peace, as President Trump has, as
I have, as jd Vance has, as so many others have,
saying that we need to end the killing, the senseless
loss of life that this tragic war has waged for

(29:35):
years now, they accuse us of being Russian assets or
puppets of Putin. It really is quite disgusting in my
own view and really speaks to the influence that the warmongers,
the military industrial complex has. They can't answer to really

(29:56):
what President Trump's call is for peace said, They throw
out these smears and lies and accusations that I think
the American people are seeing right through.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
You know, we have heard this Will said over and
over and over again.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
El said, It's time for peace. That's what we want.
We want peace, and we also want to be able
to chill out and watch more games and enjoy it
and not think like this could actually happen. All Right,
We've got a lot more to talk about on the
Chad Benson Show. It's me Rich is the only in
for Chad. What's the President going to say later today?
Everybody wants to know. Don't go away, Ray Coon, best

Speaker 10 (31:27):
Show, Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Welcome to the chat Autonomous Zone. Whoo bipolar.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
There's a lot of things that I love about Hitler.

Speaker 11 (31:59):
No bipartisan, don't abandon, don't censor, engage.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yes, the Chad Benson Show where free speech and uncensored
thought run wild.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
That's crazy. Gotta love free speech. It would have been
nice if the Democrats clap for that the other night right.
If they clap for free speech when the President said
I've brought back free speech, that would have been a
great thing. If the Democrats clap for that, that wis
you just all just get behind free speech. I think
it's important to understand that the Democrats. Democrats are not

(32:33):
bad people. They're people that disagree with us on things. However,
the Democrats who are in Congress are insane. So you see,
it's like that's the difference. It's like you could say,
I mean, maybe you're a member of an organization I
don't know, rotary or whatever it is, and you go, well,
the people in here are crazy, and so we need

(32:53):
to get new members a country club. People here are nuts.
We got to get new members. It doesn't mean that
every who's a member of a country club is crazy,
but how many times are their internal board fights. I've
got I'm not a member of a country club. I
don't golf. I literally I can't golf. I physically cannot
golf because I have no coordination, no hand eye coordination whatsoever.

(33:16):
I'm not joking, I really can't. It's bad. So what
I do is I go out with my buddies and
I hang out in the golf cart and I smoke
a cigar, I drink a beer, and every now and
then i'll swing a club and they'll make fun of me,
and I'll get back in the golf cart and drink
another beer. That's how I do it. But I've had
friends at a golf club and they're having an internal
battle about who should be on the leadership board of

(33:37):
this posh country club that they all belong to. And
I mean, I don't. They bring me as a guest
all the time and I drink on their tab, which
is nice. It's like if there's old saying in life,
the best kind of people, the best kind of friends
are friends with pools, friends with boats, and friends with
country club memberships because you don't have to worry about

(33:58):
the maintenance or the fees. They just invite you over,
take a dip, go on a boat ride. You don't
hang out, play a little golf. So that's kind of
how it is with my buddies. But they're having this
big battle within their golf club about who should who
should take over, And you go, that's that's crazy, Like
it's a it's a nice golf place. What are you
doing that's where the Democrats are right now, and they

(34:19):
got to figure this out. But when it comes to
this whole issue of war and ending the war in Ukraine,
and we can just enjoy war games this weekend and
not have to worry about possibly World War three. Remember
this clip.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
It's not a real voice.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
This box just interprets signals from the computer and turns
them into sound.

Speaker 8 (34:35):
Shall we play a gang?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
I think you missed them?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (34:42):
Weird, isn't it love to? How about global thermal nuclear war?
We're going to you for a good game chess.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Later, let's play.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
Qualifle pheromone here turn all right?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Remember Ali? Sheety and I had such a crush on
her growing up? I had Oh did I have a
crush on her growing up? I mean who didn't?

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you're a gen xter and you were watching a
movie that I'm saying like that, Yeah that was She
was great in that role. She really was fantastic. One
of those one of those iconic moments. Shall we play
a game? Right? That's where things can go wrong. Things
can absolutely go wrong, no doubt about it, And you
got to be careful. This is the Chad Benson Show.

(35:35):
It's rich is the only in for Chad on Friday,
and I just don't want us to get into that situation.
So I want to see peace as soon as possible,
and I think the market would react to that in
a huge way. And everybody's saying the market's reacting in
Trump's tariffs. I don't know if that's the case. I
think the market's reacting to the fact that when that

(35:58):
Oval Office meeting collapsed, they thought we could be closer
to World War three, and then when Zelenski said the
war with Russia could go on for a very, very
long time. That's what I think market started freaking out.

Speaker 6 (36:10):
All right.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Hour number two of Chad Benson Show with me Rich
is the only coming up straight ahead, don't go away.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Daylight Saving Time. Technically it's called daylight saving but as
an Italian, I say savings just like I go to Walmart's.
It's the Chad Benson Show. Welcome back. It's me Rich
zoly In for Chad today. It's great to be with
you on this Friday. Happy Friday. I appreciate you listening
to the show. Shadowy back next week it's you know

(37:15):
this notion of the clocks and daylight saving time. It's
one of those things. And it's funny in radio where
I'll say daylight savings time and somebody will send me
a tweet, which, by the way, you can do at
rich zi ri c h z EO l I. You
can do that. People go, it's daylight saving, not savings.

(37:36):
But I'm telling you, it's what Italians do this. We
add an s all the time. My mother the other
day says, we're going to Walmart's, do you need us
to pick you anything up? It's not there's no s
to the end of it. They just kind of add
an s. Anyway, what is what do we do about
this whole issue with the clocks because we were about
to spring forward and it starts officially this weekend. Daylight

(38:00):
saving time starts this weekend when we spring the clocks forward,
and then it ends on November two, twenty twenty five.
In my opinion, it's stupid. It's another one of Woodrow Wilson's.
Woodrow Wilson was the worst president ever. He really was
the worst two term president in the history of this country.
I hate this man so much, I really do. And

(38:20):
it's tough living in New Jersey and having to drive
on the New Jersey Turnpike because there's a Woodrow Wilson
rest stop and I refuse to go. I just vibe.
I refuse to go there. If I need to actually
really use the facility, you know what I mean, I'll
do the outside, I won't go inside. That's how much
I hate Woodrow Wilson. Well, he was tarat, was a racist.

(38:41):
He resegregated the military. He threw all these black government
employees out just for being black. He was anti Semitic,
got us into World War One, ran on a platform
of keeping us out and got us into World War One.
So he was a liar too. And Woodrow Wilson was
a progressive. So let me just quickly explain that and

(39:03):
put it in the context of modern day politics too,
because I think I think he started this whole thing,
this whole problem that we have right now with this
big monstrosity of a government. It's not just the clocks
we got to deal with, but this big monstrosity of
a government. I think that what happened basically back then
is that you have Teddy Roosevelt, who was a progressive.

(39:23):
It's a different kind of progressive, Okay, so don't confuse
it to please In Europe. In at the turn of
the century, in the early nineteen hundred's, socialism was very unpopular.
The term socialist was unpopular. Woodrow Wilson was a socialist.
He was the governor of New Jersey, but prior to that,
he was the president of Princeton. Comes to President of

(39:46):
the United States and then puts in He brings in
all these these these lunatic socialist thinkers around him. And
there's a book actually called Woodrow Wilson and the Progressives
all about this. So Woodrow Wilson changed, They changed the
name from socialism to progressivism. They rebrand it. It's like
how the Democrat Party today needs to rebrand themselves. But

(40:06):
every problem you can trace in America literally goes back
to Woodrow Wilson. I'm not exaggerating. He's the guy that
starts the expansion of the federal government. He detested the
United States Constitution. He thought the United States Constitution limited
his powers as president, and he wanted to be able
to do whatever the hell he wanted to do.

Speaker 8 (40:25):
Now.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
He didn't try to pack the court like Roosevelt. But
Woodrow Wilson would take the progressive football and then he'd
pass it over to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who, for all
the good he did with World War Two at home
here he was a disaster in terms of expanding the
federal government, creating all these agencies. And then it goes

(40:47):
over to Lyndon Johnson and then Barack Obama, and there's
this kind of an unbroken line of progressivism that actually
goes back to the Confederate States of America. Believe it
or not, the Democrat Party has always been the same party.
There's this lie that the parties switched or flipped at
some point. That's not true. It's actually not true. The

(41:08):
Democrat Party has always been the same party with the
same thoughts ever since the Confederate States of America, where
they actually put in the first income tax. So Woodow
Wilson comes along and among the other disastrous things he
does like the sixteenth Amendment, which is the progressive income tax,
which I would love to see abolished, giving women the

(41:29):
right to vote. I'm kidding, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
That's a joke, just relaxed, just a little Friday humor,
just fun. He also then just saved energy during World
War One, puts in daylight savings time. The guy ran
on keeping us out of the war, gets us in
the war, and then puts in daylight saving time. And

(41:50):
now the question is what do we do about it
that we're stuck with this? So the president, this president,
this current president was asked a question about this, and
this current president, Donald Trump, trying to undo the bureaucracy,
the deep state, the executive branch of government is what
we're talking about. His branch of government, the president's branch
of government. Because Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt both decided

(42:13):
that they needed to have unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, experts, smart people,
smarter than you and smarter than us, smarter than we
the people, to decide things and to do it in
a manner that the people couldn't overcome. That's where all
this started. It's also where the Federal Reserve began, The
creature from Jekyll Island began under Woodrow Wilson. He's the worst.

(42:36):
He is, though, where Biden may be the worst first term,
one term president, Woodrow Wilson's the worst second term president.
I would argue he's even worse than Biden if you
just take the one term. But anyway, so this current
president is trying to undo what Woodrow Wilson did, not
only with the expansion of the federal bureaucracy and an
unaccountable executive branch of government, but also the clocks. What

(43:00):
do we do about it? What do we do about
the clocks? That's what the president said. Yesterday's spring forward.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
On a Sunday. When are you going to get rid
of dlight seatons?

Speaker 6 (43:08):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (43:08):
Are you ready?

Speaker 12 (43:10):
So this should be the easiest one of all, But
it's a fifty to fifty issue, and if something's a
fifty to fifty issue, it's hard to get excited about it.
I assume people would like to have more light later,
but some people want to have more light earlier because
they don't want to take their kids to school in
the dark. And it's very much it's a little bit

(43:32):
one way, but it's very much a fifty to fifty issue,
and it's.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Something I can do. But a lot of people like.

Speaker 12 (43:38):
It one way, a lot of people like it.

Speaker 8 (43:39):
The other way.

Speaker 12 (43:41):
It's very even, and usually I find when that's the case,
what else do we have to do all.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Right, now, fair enough. But here's the thing. I don't
mind when we spring forward when daylight savings time begins.
What I hate is when it ends in November and
then we turn the clocks back and then it's dark
at freaking you know, four thirty in the afternoon. I
can't stand that. And then you get the seasonal depressed
seasonal effective disorder. People get depressed in the winter time.

(44:08):
They have to get light machines and everything else. You
know what I think we should do, split the difference,
split the middle, just do it a half hour and
end it, and then never change the clocks again. So
whether it's we spring forward a half hour, we fall
back a half hour, and then end it and be
done with it once and for all. If it's really

(44:29):
that controversial. And I get it because I've had a
lot of callers on this and they say, I don't
want my kids waiting in the bus stop in the dark. Well, listen,
as a dad who brings his kids to the bus
stop every morning, I really don't think that's the case.
My son gets on the bus a little bit after seven,
it's never dark out. But I guess maybe I don't

(44:49):
know but we don't have kids getting up and farming
and working the crops anymore, well, unless they are legal
immigrant children, and there are three hundred thousand of them
who have disappeared, and many of them may be doing that.
That's a whole other topic we'll get into. But I say,
just put the difference. But a half hour boom. Everybody wins,
because some people if you don't like it, if you
don't like the hour going one way, you don't have

(45:11):
the hour going the other way. Do the half hour
thing and call it a day. And frankly, I don't
care if we do a half hour in the spring
or a half hour in the fall. Do that thirty
minutes and then never change the clocks again. There's all
kinds of risks that come with this too. You know,
heart attacks increase when we change the clocks. There's a
lot of actual data on this that health is really

(45:34):
affected by the changing of the clocks. The other thing
is that this is the one time where you had
actual bipartisan agreement. It was virtually unanimous. Excuse me, like
Congress agreed, Yeah, let's do this. Let's get rid of
daylight savings time. Let's just make it permanent, and they
passed this bipartisan bill two years ago and then it

(45:56):
went nowhere. So we have an opportunity now once and
for all let me know your thoughts on this. I
just think that that's probably your answer right there. Split
the difference a half hour, everybody wins, and then you
can stop with this game of messing with the clocks.
Because I can't stand it. And I know that nowadays
most clocks reset automatically because everything's digital, but if you

(46:19):
have a couple old school clocks in your house, then
you gotta, you know, you got to manually do it.
And then there's the whole smoke detector issue, and people
are like, well, I use daylight saving time to change
the batteries and my smoke detector. Okay, but a lot
of smoke detectors now are the sealed kind with the
ten year battery that we just at the end you
just throw it out. A lot of them are wired.
I feel like that's not a good enough reason to

(46:41):
keep changing the clocks, because because they also do that
annoying chirp whenever you got to change the smoke detectors.
You know, that annoying chirp that you can't stand. You're like,
what's what this chirp? It's that, it's that it's that
you got to change the battery chirp. But isn't that
something that that we we and I understand the present
and his point on this, though, because he's tackling a

(47:03):
lot of controversial issues, you might say that couldn't this
is really not that big of a priority, So let's
kind of move this on the back burner. At the
same time, you have bipartisan consensus on just stopping ending
the clocks, on the switching of the clocks. Pick a
side and end it. So I think by thirty minute
compromise is the way to go. We'll call it this

(47:24):
is the only compromise, and then you're done, and then
you don't have to worry about it, and then you're good.
And yeah, there's other pressing issues. I get it, But
we can walk and show gum at the same time.
We can do a lot of things at the same time.
We're very talented people, the American people are. We can
secure the border, well, that's pretty much done. We can
deal with getting Canada as the fifty first state. We're

(47:45):
getting close. Trudeau had another meltdown yesterday he was basically crying,
I'm just so sad. You never notice he bears a
striking resemblance to Fidel Castro. I'm just saying. I mean,
I'm just they do look quite a bit. And his
mom used to hang out in Cuba. You know his mom.
She used to play twister with Fidel Castro. It's true

(48:08):
he's had parties a lot. I'm just saying he bears
a stroke. I'm not saying that Justin Trudeau is the
bastard love child of Fidel Castro. All I'm saying simply
is just that he just looks a lot like him.
He just bears a striker and he acts like him too.
He acts like a totalitarian dictator. This is the Chad
Benson Show with me. Rich is the.

God, Karen, you are so stupid to check us out
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and wherever you find your favorite
woke free podcasts. This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
I'm glad that woke is over and dead, aren't you?
I really am. I'm very happy about this. The President
said it the other night in his speech. He said,
woke is over.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
Good.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Well, we are going to find new details, hopefully on
the assassination attempt against the President Trump. He mentioned that
in the Oval Office yesterday as well, that they're hoping
to get a report next week with more details on that.
The assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where this guy Thomas
Crooks somehow was able to get onto a roof with
a with a long gun and a ladder. He was

(50:58):
able to climb up there and take shots at the
former president of the United States of America, who happens
to be whould be at the time, the Republican nominee
for president. Amazing how he was able to pull us off,
I mean truly amazing. So the President said yesterday, was
asking over a love of spells, says like, what's up
with this? This guy shot you in the ear We're
gonna get some details, he said, hopefully, you know, next week,

(51:20):
we'll get there. We'll get some more details on this
next week. I've spoken to Congressman Mike Butler excuse me,
Commressman Mike Kelly, who's investigating what's happening in Butler, PA,
and he said that they are really looking into details
on this. My friend Susan Crabtree from Real Clear Politics
has been looking into this as well. The question, of course,
is did Thomas Crooks have any any help because and

(51:45):
where are the communication devices this guy had. He's got
no digital footprint whatsoever. He had these overseas accounts. We
don't have access to any of them. The whole thing
is just incredibly, incredibly strange. But for me personally, I'm
very worried that it's entirely possible people within our government

(52:09):
played a part in either helping Thomas Crooks or just
creating the circumstances by which somebody could be able to
take a shot at Donald Trump with really lacked security,
and that was not a mistake but intentional. And we
can't rule anything out in this day and age. It's
Richdioli for Chad Benson. As we continue on the show today.

(52:30):
I'm not saying that that's the case necessarily. I'm just
saying we can't rule anything out. We really can't, you know.
And until we get the all the truth and nothing
but the truth, then we have to keep open every possibility. Look,
I know I reference a lot of TV and movies,
but there are I give us see the show the

(52:51):
Americans Russian spies who lived amongst us, who probably still
do raise their families here, live in DC. Some of
them work in government. They are sent over, they're trained
to be Americans, and they come and they infiltrate the country.
I mean, this is a real thing. It's a real story.
There were a bunch of them that were arrested a

(53:12):
couple of years ago. The Washington Post had a big
expos on this, the Russians living among us, and they
were just you know, like the mom at the PTA meeting,
you find out, oh, she was actually sent here by
Russia to live amongst us as a spy. We probably
do the same thing, right, I would imagine the United
States of America probably does the same thing and infiltrates

(53:32):
countries that way. It's probably easier than getting somebody who's
an adult to go over there, get you, get you,
get them when they're young, and they fit in and
they assimilate. I'm not saying that's what happened here. I'm
just simply saying that we cannot rule anything out when
it comes to the notion of somebody wanted to kill
Donald Trump that day, and there are just far too

(53:54):
many questions, not enough answers. And yeah, I've seen a
lot of movies, but every movie I've seen seems to
point to the same thing. See the Mafia or the CIA.
Isn't it all right? It's a Chad Benson Show with
me rich Z the only more to come.

Speaker 10 (54:16):
Sun Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Yes, it is a Chad Benson Show. It is Friday.
Glad you are with us today on a Friday, A
lot to get you. It's rich zaoly from talker to
your twelve ten WPHT. I appreciate you being here and
you can always tweet me at rich z oly r
A C h Z E O L I. Now the
Democrats are divided on the party's messaging. This Democrat Rokana,

(55:04):
was just pointing out that some guy actually chased him
down at the airport. I was like, listen, I'm a Democrat,
but I really am disturbed by your messaging, by the
way you're handling all this. I really am. I'm very
unhappy with you. Guys. We're hearing a lot of that
from people, a lot of people who are turning around
and saying I'm ashamed at the behavior of a Democrat

(55:26):
party the other day. So I mean, I guess the
question becomes how much oxygen do we give this?

Speaker 6 (55:33):
Right?

Speaker 2 (55:33):
How much oxygen do we give this? And I think
we give it a lot of oxygen because the bottom
line is that the more we expose this, the more
there's a chance that we can get reasonable people who
disagree and we can have reasonable policy discussions. Let me
bring up another show that I love, because you know,

(55:54):
I keep referencing movie and television, but The West Wing.
It's one of my favorites and obviously has a has
a you know, a liberal bent to it. But it
was a great show. It was a fantab The first
four seasons really were great. Aaron Sorkin was behind it.
Then he got busted with mushrooms at the airport, and
then he left the show, and then it got stupid.
He really did. It got dumb, But the first couple

(56:15):
seasons of that show were amazing. But there's this great
scene where Jed Bartlett, who was played by Martin Sheen
as the President, and he's talking to the guy who's
going to be the Republican nominee and they're talking and
he says, you know, let's have a great let's have
some great debates, you know, like Lincoln Douglas style debates.
Let's really debate the issues and and just go across

(56:37):
the country and debate. And he has no interest in it.
The character has no interest. And then there's a whole
plot line where the Secret Service agent gets shot and
killed and then the Republican nominee says, crime boy, I
don't know, and Martin Sheen looks at him and says,
crime boy, I don't know. That's the moment where I

(56:58):
decided to If you're wondering in the future, that's the
moment where I decided to kick your blank you know,
family show.

Speaker 6 (57:05):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
The point is that I like the idea by partisanship.
I like the idea of everybody fighting it out on issues.
I think it's healthy, I really do. I think it's healthy.
I think it's good to debate ideas. I think sometimes
it's where you can come up with some really great ideas.
And there was a time, for example, where Democrats were
against the United States just unilaterally sending money to Ukraine.

(57:30):
Bernie Sanders and a bunch of other Democrats signed this
letter and they all said, hey, we want to get
out of this thing. We should end this thing. Let's
have peace talks. Let's let's have peace talks, and let's
let's do this and let's get out. And then that
letter disappeared. But if the Democrats had actually pushed that,
you might have had Republicans at the time who came

(57:52):
out with and said, yeah, what we agree, like this
should not be happening here. We don't want Russia to win.
But at the same time, this is your this is
not our problem, and if we are going to get involved,
then we need to figure out a strategy and a
plan here and we should be trying to lead cease
fire talks. But that letter disappeared. The Democrat Party was
not allowed to have bipartisanship. The Democrat Party was not

(58:16):
allowed to debate the issue. And that's the problem is
that there was even that guy the other night when
they were talking about Ukraine and peace, and this one
Democrat he starts to clap. He looks around the room
and he's like, what, no, I can't no, nope, and
he stops clapping. He had a Ukraine with helpin on
and when the President was talking about peace, he starts clapping.

(58:36):
He looks around, he said, nope, nope, don't don't clap. No, no,
no clapping for peace. Okay. Now the President putting in
new sanctions on Russia to try to move them towards peace,
as he's being accused by the left of being pro Putin.

(58:57):
I can't figure this out. I mean, if he's a
Putin puppet, he's the worst puppet in the history of puppets.
Really poots you get his money back. For the four
years Trump was president, Putin doesn't do anything with Ukraine. Nothing,
you know, he doesn't do any CRIMEA happens under Obama,
and then of course the invasion of Ukraine happens under
Joe Biden. Over the four years Trump's president, nothing happens.

(59:21):
And so they go out there and they accuse him
of being this pro Putin puppet. He's trying to actually
get peace to the table. I really like what Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth said on this issue.

Speaker 5 (59:30):
The press is interested in narratives. Our president is interested
in peace.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
So we will get characterized one way or another.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Oh, your stance is pro Russia or pro it's all garbage.
The President got elected to bring peace in this conflict
and he is working with both sides in a way
that only President Trump can. Let's be clear, only President
Trump can to bring them to the table to end
the killing.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
And I can tell you from being behind the scenes,
is laser.

Speaker 8 (01:00:00):
Focused on making that happen.

Speaker 5 (01:00:02):
And we're closer today than we've ever been because of
his leadership.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Good. I mean, that's great. I like that. That's a
good thing. Let's have that piece, let's do it, Let's
make it happen. But you know what's funny, though, is
that we live in a day and age in which
this guy can't catch a break because Democrats get cheered
on when they do and say things that are just
anti Trump, you know what I mean, That's the way
it is. And I get the best politics. That's an

(01:00:27):
ature of politics. If there's a Democrat in the White House,
we'd be working to oppose that. I understand, I get it.
I understand that. But the big thing that they're fighting
for is protecting government jobs.

Speaker 6 (01:00:42):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Listen, I work in a tough industry. It's called radio,
and there were a lot of layoffs yesterday in this
industry of radio. I got a buddy of mine he
got laid off from his company recently. He was able
to find a new job. It's tough out there. It's
a tough time. But there are Federal works workers putting
signs in their yards that say we stand with Federal workers.

(01:01:04):
How do I know they're federal workers because all the
signs are showing up in DC. Everybody who lives in
there works for the federal government or or in some way,
shape or form, butters their bread with money that comes
from the federal government. The bottom line is that we're
trying now to get rid of these government jobs because
the jobs that were created in the previous administration were

(01:01:27):
government jobs. We the people did not start a revolution.
We didn't. We didn't kick out England because we wanted
to create a government that would hire people. It wasn't
like the founding fathers turned around and said, you know what,
we got a lot of unemployed people here in the colonies.
So here's what we're going to do. Let's declare independence,
throw the king out of here, and then create a

(01:01:48):
government of the people, by the people, for the people,
for the purposes of hiring the people. That's not why
we did what we did in seventeen seventy six. And
the idea that we would be fighting to keep government
jobs and not reducing government is so anathetical to why
we had a revolution in the first place, which was

(01:02:09):
to create a small, limited federal government. That's not why
we did the revolution, but that was one of the
outcomes of it, obviously, when the States decided to create
the federal government for the purposes of various things, but
mostly to secure the country, but not to run the
place in the manner in which they do today, with unelected,

(01:02:33):
unaccountable bureaucrats and over four hundred different agencies in the
executive branch alone. So if you know, again, to go
back to my test, If I'm a guy working for
a living, a gal working for a living, and I'm
you know, nailing and putting nails in a roof, or
I'm working on an HVAC machine, I'm a cop and
fireman whatever. I and I hear all these people who
are going on and on about these bureaucrats, these government bureaucrats.

(01:02:55):
I'm not shedding a tear for them. The Democrats literally
started this, by the way, when they came out with
defund the police. Last time I checked cops or government employees,
the Democrats were all in on defunding the police. They
were all in on getting rid of those government jobs.
What's changed now they have signed in the yard that
say save federal jobs and the US economy. The headline today,

(01:03:19):
of course, is the US economy added one hundred and
fifty one thousand jobs in February, fewer than expected, fewer
than expected. Kevin Hassett, who is the head of the
White House National Economic Council, explain that on CNN.

Speaker 13 (01:03:34):
The bottomlight is that the Biden administration created a lot
of jobs, and they tended to be government jobs. About
twenty five percent of the job creation was government jobs.
And we actually, as President Trump intended, reduced government jobs
by about ten thousand, as you guys just mentioned. And
then the other thing we're trying to do is increase
manufacturing jobs and manufacturing jobs, which you didn't mention. Were

(01:03:55):
up about ten thousand, with about nine thousand of those
being new jobs for autoworkers, which is, you know, are
very sticky and high paying jobs. And so I think
it's a fantastic report. It's showing exactly what President Trump.

Speaker 8 (01:04:05):
Intends to do.

Speaker 13 (01:04:06):
He intends to reduce government spending, to get rid of
wasteful government jobs, and to create manufacturing jobs, and that's
what you see. Finally, there are a bunch of signs
that the flu was going to have a big impact
on this job report, and that's what I think the
travel and leisure thing that you guys just mentioned came from,
is that people were homesick and they weren't going out
and going to hotels.

Speaker 8 (01:04:25):
And so on.

Speaker 13 (01:04:25):
So I expect that that's going to reverse in the
next month. And it's another reason why I was positively
surprised about this. The people who account for flu in
the job data were saying this number was going to
be maybe even about one hundred thousand lower than what
we saw.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
So you realize now that when you're creating jobs and
those jobs are government jobs, that's a fugacy. It's not real.
And what we have to do now is we have
to cut the size of government, and so that's what
has to happen. But you're going to see I mean, really,

(01:04:58):
I think what you would the truth of the matter
is that you are going to see the economy begin
to explode as regulations go away. Regulations caused so many
of the problems in the economy. Ask people who have businesses,
they'll tell you that. They'll tell you that it is
a situation where regulations become the problem, and manufacturing jobs

(01:05:21):
delayed by regulations because a lot of these companies can't
expand and hire more people from manufacturing because of regulations.
I mean, the Biden job record was in fact government jobs.
Here's more of asset.

Speaker 13 (01:05:34):
At the Biden job record, Michfelow. The fact that they
revised it down in a million jobs last year. Don't
forget that a lot of the job creation was government workers.
It was goverment workers. About a quarter of the job
creation over the last two years was an increase of
government workers. As if you take those out and then
still have a strong jobs number, that's a great, great
economic outcome.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Pleasing exactly right, that's a great economic outcome. Except for
the people that work in government and look, I could
you know, you could feel sorry for them. You could say,
I'm so sorry that you lost your job, but maybe
something better will come for them in life. But also
what about all the government workers that put people out
of work with regulations and going after them and then
kept people from getting jobs or even they lost their

(01:06:14):
jobs as a response to that fact, right? I mean,
if you've got EPA regulators who keep a company from
being able to expand and then they can't hire more
people or they have to lay off people, or the
IRS is busting their chops, or the FTC is busting
their chops, or whenever other government agencies busting their chops, Well,
where's the empathy for those people who don't have jobs

(01:06:36):
or lose their jobs as a consequence of that Biden's policies.

Speaker 13 (01:06:40):
I think one of the things that you see if
you look at it is exactly the objectives of the
Trump administration, of the fact that even though we got
a lot of work to do, we got to pass
the tax cuts and get this deregulation train rolling, is
that we're going to be reducing government employment and reducing
government spending and increasing manufacturing employment. And as you can
see in the jobs before today you're already seeing a

(01:07:01):
pivot in that direction.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
This is a huge one.

Speaker 13 (01:07:04):
So last year, one hundred and eleven thousand manufacturing jobs
are destroyed by the Biden administration's policies. And in this
month alone, in February, we got ten thousand manufacturing jobs
and nine thousand auto jobs.

Speaker 8 (01:07:16):
And as you know, those auto.

Speaker 13 (01:07:17):
Jobs are here, they're going to be paid well, and
they're here for a good long time. And that's really
just a sort of a down payment on the Trump
policies that got a skyrocket into a golden age. Assist
we get the task Coudes pass.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
It's like, if regulations are the problem, then get rid
of the regulations, and then everybody wins. And then you
have a situation too where you can turn around. You
can say we are now giving people jobs. And the beautiful,
beautiful thing about that is that many of these people
who work in government who lose their jobs because we're
downsizing government, we'll have opportunities in the private sector because

(01:07:49):
we're unleashing the private sector by getting rid of government
regulators and bureaucrats who are stopping the expansion in the
private sector. And then everybody wins. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Speaker 6 (01:09:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
So the President's gonna speak soon. I wonder what he's
gonna say. Curious about that. The First Lady announced that
they're gonna have White House garden tours. That's pretty cool.
Twenty twenty five Spring Garden Tours at the White House.
This spring, the White House will open its gardens and
grounds to visitors. The grounds will be open on Saturday,
April fifth, from ten am to four thirty pm and Sunday,

(01:09:52):
April sixth, from ten am to thirty pm. On these days,
visitors can explore the beauty of the South lawn of
the White House, The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden, and
the White House Kitchen Garden will also be accessible to guests.
The event is free and open to the public at
tickets see see Biden would have done this because you know,
you might have people with allergies, and so they would

(01:10:13):
probably not have done this. They would have said, well,
you know, I mean, I gotta be careful here because
somebody might be allergic to roses or pollen or something
like that and EpiPens, and that's a great idea. They're
also doing the White House Easter egg Rolls soon too.
I was I've been bugging every time. It's probably annoying
to them, but every time I go to the White
House for something, like I was there for Radio Row

(01:10:35):
and they were kind enough to put these Cabinet officials
on the show, and all these experts would come on,
and every time they did, they'd sit down. I would
ask them about the policies, and I'd say, any chance
I could get some tickets to the White House Easter
eggirl for my kids, And they'd look at me like
I was an insane person, because that's pretty much an
insane question to ask a Cabinet member, you know what

(01:10:56):
I mean, Like a Cabinet secretary like Doug Bergham. He's
the head of the End Energy Task Force. The guy's
job is energy dominance in the United States of America.
I'm asking him about a White House Easter egg roll.
You could understand the frustration in the man's face when
he looks at me, like, isn't there a form you
fill out? You know, you idiot, But maybe maybe someday,

(01:11:18):
I don't know. It sounds like a cool thing. It's
funny as my daughter's turning five and all she wants
to do for her birthday is she's turning five in
August April. Excuse me, is have an Easter egg roll
for her birthday. But that's kind of hard to do
because a lot of places they don't host those kind
of things. And if you just go to a park,
I said to whego, well, other kids might take your

(01:11:39):
Easter eggs, you know what I mean, Like you can't.
You got to do a better birthday party than that.
I'll say one thing. The truth of the matter is,
as a dad of three kids, these birthday parties for
kids are getting way out of preaking control here. Oh
they really are. They're getting so out of control. You
got parents are renting out like islands now for kids.

Speaker 6 (01:11:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
I'm not even talking in sweet sixteen. I'm talking they're
they're they're renting out islands for kids like turning seven,
like johnny seventh birthday. Let's let's rent the entire island
of Bermuda so we can celebrate Johnny. It's Rich Zioli
for Chad Benson on a Friday, and it's a great Friday,
isn't it. I'm feeling good loving this. We're gonna change

(01:12:22):
the clock. We're gonna spring forward and gain an hour.
Will the President address that when he speaks from the
Oval Office today? Will he say something about it? Maybe
he's changed his mind, he's ready to go, ready to
finally once and for all, and the tyranny of the
clock change. That would make me very very happy. How
about you. We're gonna talk about that. Plus there's some
breaking news on the border and the cartels. It's Zioli

(01:12:46):
for Chad Benson.

Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
Don't go away.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
It is the Chad Benson Show on a Friday. It's
me Rich Zolie with you from Talk Radio twelve ten
WPHD in Philadelphia. Great to be with you today. I
appreciate you hanging out and listening to the show. Nicole
Wallace hamorrhaging her viewers. I don't even know many viewers
she had in the first place. But no, Nicole Wallace.

(01:13:53):
Remember the other night when the President honored that young
man with brain cancer, that thirteen year old Cole Wallace
engaged in her bizarre suicide fantasy about I hope he
doesn't become a cop someday and deal with the January
sixth protesters and take his own life. And I mean,
it was just it was bizarre, it was creepy, it

(01:14:15):
was weird, it was very dystopian. Well, as a consequence
of that, her ratings have plunged. I'm not surprised. First well,
I don't even know how good her ratings were. That's
the quest. The real question you got to ask yourself
is when you say plunge, you're talking about going from
hundreds to dozens. Because that's really the question that I

(01:14:35):
have when you say there's a ratings plunge. How many
people were listening to Nicole Wallace. We're watching her show
in the first place. But that's okay, Let's let's go
with this, right, let's go with this idea. Nicole Wallace had,
say dozens of listeners and now has dozens less because
of what she said. According to Fox News, the MSNBC

(01:14:59):
host generated headlines this week widely criticized comments about thirteen
year old cancer survivor featured in President Trump's addressed to
a joint session of Congress. Has seen her ratings suffer
since Democrats lost power. Her program, Deadline white House, average
one point six million total viewers from the start of
the twenty twenty four until election Day, then excuse Me,

(01:15:23):
saw a dramatic thirty five percent drop once Trump prevailed.
Deadline white House averaged just over one million viewers for
the remainder of twenty twenty four, as its liberal audience
largely tuned out the news. On the heels of Trump's victory,
Deadline white House saw a similar decline and the advertiser

(01:15:44):
coveted demographic of adults age twenty five to fifty four,
averaging one hundred and forty four thousand demo viewers in
twenty twenty four before the election. That's not good. That
number is not good. Sounds like a lot, but it's
not good for a national cable news show. But now
they're shedding that number thirty five percent to settle for

(01:16:07):
an average demo audience of ninety three thousand and the
key demo that the advertisers want, that coveted twenty five
to fifty four demo after the loss for Democrats. But
it's getting even worse. In twenty twenty five, Nicole Wallace's
program at MSNBC has averaged one point one million viewers
for twenty five percent decline compared to the same time

(01:16:30):
period in twenty twenty four. Fox News Channel programming, so
let's do an apples to Apple's comparison. Here, Fox News
Channel programming that airs during her four to six pm
time slot has averaged three point six million viewers this year,
more than triple the viewership of Deadline White House. Now

(01:16:51):
that's a key time right there, that four to six pm.
So at four pm on the air obviously three to seven.
So I hope you know, if you're if you're interested
in watching Fox News during that time, DVR it of course,
and watch it later. And as long as you watch
it within twenty four hours account swords and ratings, I believe.
So at four o'clock you got Will Kine on, who
does a great job, and then at five o'clock you

(01:17:13):
have the five which is probably the gold standard in
Fox News for shows in terms of ratings, that in
Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Faala. And I'm not
just saying that because I'm a frequent guest on the show.
But he's also crushing it into Saturday Night ratings. So
is Laura Trump on Saturday nights. But if you look
at that contrast right there between MSNBC and Fox News,

(01:17:35):
so one point one million viewers for the four to
six pm time slot versus Fox News three point six
million viewers. What does that say to you? What does
that tell you? Right there? A couple thoughts on this.
I don't think it's just people that want to hear
just right wing red meat, because that's not what they
do in the four to six pm timeslot, particularly on

(01:17:55):
the five. On the five, you hear Democrat voices like
Harol Ford for example. I mean, he's on there a
lot and what's your name? The the other woman who's
on the five whose name escapes he right now, Jessica.
So throw the shit. They're Dems, they're lefties, they're on
the show. They have a good dialogue back and forth,

(01:18:16):
they keep it cordial and friendly. It really never gets toxic.
It's a good show.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
It's fun to watch after my radio show, obviously, or
you can watch it with the subtitles while you're listening
to me. That's fine too. But the point is, it's
not just five people who are sitting there who are
all just saying the same thing. You have disagreement, Tune
into AMSSNBC. You get anger, You get anger and outrage
for two solid hours in that four to six pm

(01:18:42):
demo with Nicole Wallace and Frankly, I think people are
sick of it. Look, I try to do a radio
show that's not pounding the desk and yelling and screaming
and angry. I just think people are tired of it.
And also too, what are we pounding the desk and
angry about? Anyway? We won like we won, so I mean,
from my perspective, I've never been happier. I'm smiling, I'm

(01:19:05):
feeling great about things. I'm happy. But boy, is it
a dark time over at MSNBC. Is it not? Oofah? Now,
back in the first Trump turn, they actually had great ratings.
And you know the reason why, I'll tell you because
every day they gave false hope to people. Today's the
day like crazy Laurence O'Donnell, Larry O'Donnell stopped the hammering

(01:19:27):
that guy. He would get false hoape every day, Today's
day Trump's going to get arrested, hauled off, executed worse
than Watergate. Rachel Mattott would come on every night tell
people the same thing, like today's the day we're finally
going to expose him as the Russian, the Russian puppet
that he is. So people would tune in and was false.

(01:19:48):
Hope they didn't get any of that, And so what
happened Trump got Trump loses in twenty twenty, and I'm
putting that in air quotes. Joe Biden becomes president, their
ratings plunge because they don't MSNBC stopped being their place
for therapy. Trump's back in the White House now, so
you would imagine their ratings would soar. But the problem

(01:20:09):
is when you keep selling people a bad bill of
goods and you can't deliver on that promise. Like if
every day I came on the air and I was like, listen,
I promise you, today's the day. If during Biden's administration,
every day I came to the radio, I was like,
today's the day Biden is gonna be removed from office
with a twenty fifth amendment. This is twenty fifth amendment.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
Bad.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
They said that during the Trump years, remember, and that
is this twenty fifth amendment.

Speaker 8 (01:20:32):
Bad.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Dang, And then you don't, you can't fulfill that. People
stop tuning in, They go, this person's full of it.
But since Nicole Wallace had her weird suicide fantasy about that, that
that thirteen year old little boy who every single day
is a gift for him and his family, her ratings
that plunge even further, and the key demo. Wallace's average

(01:20:54):
one hundred and eight thousand viewers this year, trailing cable
offerings such as Diners, Track Fins and Die on The
Food Network and be ets Tyler Perry's Sisters. Now, I
have to confess I've never seen Tyler Perry's Sisters, but
I'm gonna I'm gonna wind up, you know, checking that
out sounds great. Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. I think

(01:21:17):
that's guy Guy Faery's show, if I'm not mistaken. People
love that stuff. But it's the But you're the Food
Network's beating MSNBC, the freaking Food Network. So that's a
problem right there, because it used to be Fox News
at MSNBC at the top. The two of them together

(01:21:37):
were the top, and sometimes they would alternate. Sometimes MSNBC
would actually beat Fox News in Trump's first term because
of the false promises that today's the day he's going
to be arrested, removed, sent to Gitmo, and they never
delivered because none of what they were saying was true.
And people want truth and honesty, and they're tired of

(01:21:58):
the anger and the vitriol and the bitterness, and they're
sick of it. That's why I hope you like me.
I don't know. If you don't, I mean, I guess,
I don't know. You're probably an angry person. One of
the most memorable moments from Trump's address on Tuesday, of course,
he puts a spotlight on DJ Daniel tonight, TJ We're
going to make you a Secret Service agent. Then Wallace
goes on MSNBC and she and she I'm just gonna

(01:22:19):
I don't want to play it because I really so.
It's so disturbing to listen to. But I played it
the other day and you've heard it by now a
million times, you know, saying I hope he has a
long life as a law enforcement officer. But I hope
he never has to defend the United States Capitol against
Donald Trump supporters. And if he does, I hope he
isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.

(01:22:40):
You're like, lady, this is a thirteen year old kid.
Why do you have to say that? And you know,
the President even said the other day goes she should
be forced to resign. Frankly, what Nicole Wallace said, I've
never been a fan of hers, and she's not very talented,
but I will tell you what she said the other
day about the young man is disgraceful. Wallace has been

(01:23:01):
heavily scolded on social media and generated a plethora of
negative headlines. A plethora. Do you even know what a
plethora is? Name that movie Three Amigos. Negative headlines from
The New York Post, Newsweek, The Rap Daily, Bail, and
The Baltimore Sun were among the outlets to put a
spotlight on backlash over her linking Daniel to January sixth

(01:23:23):
and the suicide of Capitol police officers. I mean, it's
six stuff. It's just like people don't want to tune
into that negativity and Rachel Matto does one day a
week on an MSNBC. Her ratings have plunge, the whole
network's plunge. CNN, of course, is trying now to be
of the network in the middle, and they've got what's

(01:23:44):
his name on their Scott Jennings, who does a really
good job of fighting and pushing back on scene. And
they also have Harry Enton on. Harry Anton is the poster.
He's the Steve Karnaki of CNN, enthusiastic and always excited.
He just doesn't wear khakis like Steve Kraranaki does. I
don't blame him. I'm not a Khaki's guy. I really
am not a Khaki's guy. I'm not a fan, you
know what I mean, Jeans, not khakis. I don't know why.

(01:24:07):
I think it goes back to Blockbuster Video. Do you
remember Blockbuster Video back in the day when you'd go
in and everybody there was wearing khakis and a blue shirt.
So every time I wear khakis and a blue shirt,
I always feel like I'm about to go tell somebody
that they owe me a dollar in late fines, or
three dollars in late fines, whatever, whatever whatever it was,
whatever the late fines were I always feel like I'm

(01:24:28):
about to tell somebody that, like, hey, listen, you owe
me some money, all right, you owe me some money?
And who wants to pay lafees?

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):

Wears mak don't be a cutie pie.

Speaker 11 (01:26:40):
Probably sit around and cook some soups and eat grean
desserts and just get on fat and saysy my life.

Speaker 1 (01:26:53):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Yeah you are. And uh, there's some news around the
assassination attempts to President Trump. So this guy, Brandon Ralph,
he's now facing life in prison for the assassination attempt.
He was the guy outside of mar A Lago who
I'm sorry, Trump's golf course, not mar A Lago, at
the golf course, which is about five miles away from

(01:27:18):
mar A Lago, just hanging out in the trees with
a gun, getting ready to kill the president of the
United States of America, the former president at the time.
See that's the thing about these assassination attempts that just
blow my mind, and I'm sure it probably blows your
mind as well too. It's like, you know, when people
run for president, they don't automatically get Secret Service protection,

(01:27:39):
but former presidents always do. Former presidents always get Secret
Service protection, at least for I think it's ten years.
Maybe it might be back to life again. I got
to double check my knowledge of that. But either way,
certainly they have Secret Service protection. We all know that
right now. When you are the party's nominee for president,

(01:28:01):
you also get Secret Service protection. In some cases, you
get Secret Service protection before you are actually even the
party's nominee, depending on the threat level, depending on the
threat level that you have to deal with. So here's
Donald Trump as not only the former president of the
United States of America but the Republican nominee for president
of the United States of America, in the middle of
a field and Butler and gets shot in the ear,

(01:28:24):
comes within milliseconds of having his head blown off. And
then a couple of weeks later, there's a guy outside
of the golf course where he's golfing with a gun
sticking through the trees and he's a hole away. And
so the fact that he's a former president and he's
the Republican nominee for president, and he's a guy who
has who absolutely there's death threats against him, and they

(01:28:46):
knew about the intelligence with Iran wanting to kill him,
How is that remotely possible that that could happen. It
just makes no sense and it makes people like me
think there's something else going on. Here. On a Friday,
I'm the Chad Benson Show with Rich Zioli here, and

(01:29:06):
I'm happy that we're gonna finally get some answers. Brandon
Ruth is due in court and then next week, we'll
have more details on what happened in Butler. It's freaking strange.

Speaker 12 (01:29:14):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
By the way, Since I've mentioned movies and TV shows
so much and it's a Friday and you may want
something of edge, I hope you've seen in the Line
of Fire with Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich, because if
you have not, put that on your list asap. I
think that movie's outstanding. It's so good. You know, Clint
Eastwood plays the secret Service agent who recently died, who
was the last remaining member of Kennedy's detail was based

(01:29:37):
on that character that clintic Eastwood played in the Line
of Fire, and he's now brought back on the job.
It's nineteen ninety three when the movie's made, and then
John Malkovich is starting to kill the president. But it's
really good. It's so well done. And the thing about
it is that when John Malkovich takes a shot at
truck at the President in the movie at the end,

(01:30:00):
they grab him and move him the hell out of there,
and they through the kitchen and go Lo Lo logo
and get him into the cars and get him out
of the event. Right, Remember what happened in Butler that day,
the President is able to hold his hand up in
the air, is fist up in the air and yell fight,
fight fight. Now, that is an iconic moment in American history.

(01:30:21):
But here's the reality. That moment in American history should
have never been able to happen because they should have
been able to get him off of the stage. But
because of the DEI policies, many of those Secret Service
takings up there were not able to physically move him.
He's a big, big man, but his head was exposed
as his fist was up in the air. That was

(01:30:42):
incredibly dangerous. Thank god he's alive today. It's a Chad
Benson Show, coming right back.

Speaker 10 (01:30:53):
Such Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
No, we don't need the Department of Education. No, we
don't know who said that. Linda McMahon, who's going to
be the secretary of the Department of Education. I love that,
I really do. I love that. I think that's great.
Welcome back to the Chad Benson Show. It's great to
have you here on a Friday. It's rich. It's the
only in for Chad. It's an honor to be here
with you on radio America. As we're hanging out together,

(01:31:43):
I'm just thinking about imagine it like this, Right, So
somebody hires you for a job. Here's your job, all right?
The job is this, The job is you are going
to shut down the company that I've hired you to
work for. How you think, Oh, it's that person like
a mole. Like oh man, that person's a mole that

(01:32:04):
they are trying now to sabotage the company. Linda McMahon.
You could argue that that's exactly what Linda McMahon is
doing as the as the Secretary of Education. Because Linda McMahon,
you know, she's she's there to shut it down. That's
her job. She made billions and I mean billions with

(01:32:26):
World Wrestling Entertainment billions, so she's not worried about money.
It's not about money for her. What it is, what
it is about for Linda McMahon, it's about doing the
right thing. It's about returning education to the States. It's
about getting rid of woke policies. It's about turning around
and saying, you know what, we have a situation right
now in this country where we can get rid of

(01:32:48):
a federal department. How excited That makes me on a
Friday to think about the fact that we could have
one less federal department. It will take an Act of Congress,
it will take a super majority. It's going to take time.
It's going to be a battle. It's going to be
a fight. That's okay, let's do it. Let's have the battle.
Let's have the fight. Here's what the future Education Secretary

(01:33:09):
and future former Education secretary. Well, she's been confirmed, so
the future former Education Secretary, Linda McMahon. Here's what she
had to say regarding the matter. Oh, not hearing anything all.
We got a little we get a little bit of
an audio issue here. Hang on a second. I'm sorry.

(01:33:31):
I was trying to play a clip for you, but
it doesn't seem to be working. So we'll have to
get back to that. Linda McMahon said. I guess there
was an audio issue on my end. Linda McMahon said,
we have to get back to returning this to the States.
I mean, there you go. That's the job. That's your job.
Your job is that your job is to return the
Department of Education back to the people and get it

(01:33:54):
back to the States. I think it's fantastic. Makes me
so happy makes me really really happy. And if you
do that, if you do that, if you can if
you can achieve that, if Lynna McMahon can achieve that,
she will have done something so special, so special in history.
But it's not easy. Nothing about this is easy. Nothing

(01:34:16):
about this is easy. Nothing about what President Trump is
trying to do is easy in terms of toppling the bureaucracy.
All right, let's give this another shot.

Speaker 8 (01:34:24):
Shall we me to put myself out of a job?
Do you feel about that?

Speaker 15 (01:34:26):
But well, I think there is definitely a role for
education to make sure that as we move education back
to the States, that we are providing the tools for
the governors, for the teachers, that we can provide them
with research to show best practices. Because the president's goal
really is to see our scores go up. You know,
when seventy percent, you know, if our students cannot read

(01:34:49):
with proficiency, that's just incredibly difficult to swallow, and he's
just not going to accept it.

Speaker 14 (01:34:55):
Especially when the schools are focused so much on other
things like DEI and telling our children they can transition.
I want my child to learn about math and science
and reading, because if you look at the stats, we're
well below in all of these and President Trump says
we spend more money than.

Speaker 8 (01:35:11):
Any of them.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
Let's think about that for a moment, shall we. Let's
think about that, all right. So, so the federal government's
there to exist there now to turn around and to
say we're gonna we're gonna do things like tell children
that they when they want to go to school and
identify as a different gender, We're not going to let
the parents know about it. We're not going to let

(01:35:33):
the parents know. We're going to keep the parents in
the dark. I mean, that's crazy, is it not? Just
think about any Like my state of New Jersey has
that situation too. Johnny goes to school and Johnny identifies
as Susie and the school doesn't let the parents know.
What like, let me know what's going on with my
kids life. I want to know what's happening in my
kid's world. I need to know what's happening in my

(01:35:53):
kid's world because I'm the parent. I'm in charge here.
And what if it's something else, you know, what if
it's drugs, what if it's because yeah, it's easy to
think about things from the perspective of kid wants attention.
You know, the kid is going through a mental health crisis,
and lots of kids do. Lots of kids go through
mental health crises. As a parent, I can do something

(01:36:16):
about it if I know about it. If I know
about it, I can do something. I can help them.
But what happens when you don't? I mean Senator Corey Booker,
count grandstangelis Spartacus Booker and the Tears of Rage band. Well,
he's Spartacus. Remember this is my Spartacus moment. This is
my Spartacus moment. Now think about this now for a second.

(01:36:39):
This is a guy who advocates for keeping biological males
in women's sports. As a parent, I don't want this.
As a parent. I want to turn around and say, no,
get out of here, give me, give me a break.
When it comes to this, I want to be in
charge of my kid's life. It's called parental rights. And
this became a big thing during COVID, It really did.

(01:37:00):
This became a big thing during COVID because during COVID
a lot of us were kept in the dark about things,
particularly when it came to our kids curriculum, and we
didn't really know what was going on. And then all
of a sudden, we found out as we're day drinking.
I mean, I'm an say I was day drinking during COVID,
were you. I'm not saying that, I'm saying. And then
we found out during COVID what was happening and we said, WHOA,

(01:37:23):
I don't like this. The biggest obstacle of this, of course,
is going to be the Teachers' union. They control the
Democrat Party. They have absolute control over the Democrat Party.
But teachers themselves will be okay. Lynna McMahon emphasized that point.

Speaker 14 (01:37:37):
What did it affect the teachers if there's no more
Department of Education?

Speaker 15 (01:37:40):
I know teachers will be there in the classrooms. They're
hired locally, they are supervised on a local basis. The
Department of Education doesn't have anything to do, you know,
with hiring teachers.

Speaker 8 (01:37:50):
That's all done at a local level.

Speaker 15 (01:37:52):
And I think teachers should be rewarded.

Speaker 8 (01:37:56):
Good teachers should be rewarded.

Speaker 15 (01:37:57):
And I think that teaching is one of the most
noble professions in our country. I got my certificate to
teach when I was in college, and in my career
took a different bath. But teaching is is so noble
and there are so many excellent, good teachers, and we
want to encourage them and support them and stand in
their corner.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
Yep, exactly right. We we we're gonna stand in their
corner and we're going to fight for them. Fine, fight
for them. The good ones. Fight for the good ones.
The good ones deserve fighting for the bad ones. You
don't fight for the bad ones. You say bye bye,
You say bye bye.

Speaker 6 (01:38:33):
That's what you do.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
See. The reality is this that there are there are
like any other profession in the world, there are good teachers,
and they're bad teachers. The problem is that the unions
protect the bad ones. That's the problem the the the
the unions protect the bad teachers. And if you're a
parent and you know this and you want something done
about it, what do you what do you do? Nothing?

(01:38:55):
There's really nothing you can do. You're because the unions
detect bad teachers who wind up getting a job for
life or they just can't moved to a different school district,
and then they're a bad teacher of that school district.
So that's that's the part of this too. But then
ushering school choice would actually bring in more teachers. So

(01:39:17):
if you if you're a teacher, you would want school choice.
You'd want school choice because that would mean then that
they're at a marketplace would exist for people to invest
in building new schools, charter schools, private schools, because there
would be money for those schools. Right now, the money
is tied to the child, so it goes all to

(01:39:40):
the public schools. So what incentive is there for me
to come along and create a private school unless I
know that I'm going to be charging thirty thousand dollars
a year intuition and I'm going to be catering to
very elite parents because that's the current system. But is
that fair to the kids whose parents get afford But

(01:40:00):
of course not.

Speaker 3 (01:40:03):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
Now, if the money follows the kid with school choice,
and I open up a school and I charge whatever,
the charges whatever, that that the cost for pupil is
to educate that kid, and that's what I charge for
my school, and the money instead of going to the
public school, goes to my school. Now you have competition
and you have opportunity. The argument from those that oppose

(01:40:24):
school choice is, well, then the public school is going
to suffer. Well, then the public school needs to get better.
Competition is a good thing. So let's say I open
up you know, Richie's Academy of Genius. You find out
if the cost to educate a kid. Let's use the
city of Philadelphia for example. This is this guy named
jeff Yass. He's a great guy, smart, brilliant guy, and

(01:40:46):
the richest man in Pennsylvania. He's got this whole plan
says it educates it costs twenty six thousand dollars educated
kid in the city of Philadelphia. Take that twenty six
thousand dollars and give it to the kid for investment
into his future. And then whatever that money is that
goes to that district can go to another school, and
then it doesn't hurt the public school, because if the

(01:41:09):
public school is really really good, the parents will want
to keep them in the public school. And that's just
how anything is right. We say, if you send your
if you have a child that goes to preschool, you
probably try to pick the best preschool you can, but
you're limited by economics. The beauty of school choice is

(01:41:29):
that we know what a cost to educate a kid
in a school district. So if that money files the kid,
and then they decide that Richie's Academy of Genius is
better than the Cherry Hill Public schools, and parents want
to go there. The Cherry Hill Public schools didn't have
to take a look at what they're not doing right,
what they're doing wrong, and then try to fix it,

(01:41:50):
like in any other marketplace. And if that means getting
rid of people that are not great at their jobs,
so be it. If that means trying to recruit people
who are really good at something, so be it. If
that means then you get rid of woke curriculum, do it.
It also gives the ability to break away from the
government monopoly over standards in the classroom on things like

(01:42:12):
DEI and gender and all the other nonsense. And if
you are a parent who wants that, like, if you're
a parent who wants the library stack with books that,
quite frankly I think are disgusting in borderline pornography in
many cases, well then send your kid to that school.
I don't know what to tell you. The book ban
things funny right to the book ban. Libraries have a

(01:42:35):
finite amount of shelf space. Are doctor Thomas Soule's books
on the library shelves and public schools probably not. There's
just not enough space. Is that censorship. Is that a
ban of doctor Thomas Soul, one of the greatest minds
of all time? Of course not. But they make choices
about curriculum. So if I want to choose a school

(01:42:55):
that has books on the shelves that are of doctor
Thomas Soul, I can make that choice. If another parent
wants to choose a school that has those wacky books
with really froze images in them, and hey, knock yourself out,
everybody wins. In that situation. You end the tyranny of monopoly,

(01:43:16):
because that's what a monopoly is. It's tyranny, particularly when
it comes to education.

Speaker 4 (01:43:20):
It's a Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
I'm the Chad Benson Show with me. Rich is the
only Infra Chad. It's great to be here with you,

Speaker 1 (01:45:26):
I call myself a joyful warrior. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
So Hunter Biden millions of dollars in debt. Millions of
dollars in debt, he says, so broke he can't afford
to keep pursuing his lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler for putting
much of the content of his infamous laptop on the Internet.
Part of Hunter's woes came from the La fires torching
his rental home, he says, But the far bigger issue

(01:45:54):
is that his income is slowed to a trickle. Why
would that be the case?

Speaker 1 (01:45:58):
Hmm?

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
Would have changed? What's changed? That would have led Hunter
Biden now to not be making as much money? What
could it be? What could it be? Hmm? I don't know. Uh,
thathing comes to mind. Hunter Biden says, no one's buying
his crappy artwork anymore. Buyers we used to line up

(01:46:21):
to show out tens of thousands of dollars on Hunter
Biden originals. Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsch Knaftali fortally bought forty
two thousand dollars worth in twenty twenty one, before Joe
appointed her to a spot on the Commission for the
Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad in July of twenty twenty two.

(01:46:42):
Buyers were supposed to be kept anonymous to avoid blaytant
pay to play, but Hunter's own art dealer testified at
the first son knew who bought up to seventy percent
of his pieces, and then those people just somehow got
a white House access. I don't know. Maybe it's like
the first lady with the garden, they just got a

(01:47:04):
White House tour. They were lucky enough to get the
tickets to the White House tour. Maybe it was that
could be as simple as that and really nothing more.
Or maybe it was because they spent thousands and thousands
of dollars on his crappy artwork where he would blow
paint through a straw and then get access to the
President of the United States. So what changed? Why would
Hunter be losing money if he is the Pablo Picasso

(01:47:26):
of our time. Sure seems that the entire point the
buyers knew would be basically that they would get access
to the president. According to Hunter's court filings, he sold
twenty seven pieces at an average cost of about fifty
four thousand dollars, but some went even higher than that,
someone even higher. So again, I'm just trying to figure

(01:47:47):
out on this Friday night on the Chad Benson Show,
what changed.

Speaker 6 (01:47:49):
Hmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
I don't know. Maybe Hunter lost his creative touch, Maybe
he lost his muse. Is that possible. I hear that
a lot with artists, you know, they lose their mus
their creative muse is gone, and then they just they
don't know what to do. They don't know what to do.
I've lost the inspiration. I've lost the narrative thread to
quote Martin Scorsese in that great commercial, I've lost them there.

(01:48:14):
Maybe that's it could be something else, somebody else. Let's
see what else?

Speaker 6 (01:48:18):
What else?

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
Will? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
Well, well, I mean his dad's not president. Yeah, so
there's that dad's not president anymore. So maybe it's a
situation where he just can't sell access to the White House.
I guess that it's Rich Zioli Chad Bens's show on
a Friday Friday, and I don't know, maybe not. Maybe

(01:48:40):
it's more about well, well, I'll think about it, and
I'm gonna I'm gona spend the weekend thinking about it.
Spend the weekend thinking about why Hunter Biden's income may
have gone down. If you have any ideas help me out,
would you do that for me? Shoot me a tweet
at rich zli r I c h z e O
l I. It's alright, feeling in for Chad. Had so

(01:49:02):
much time hanging out with you. Thanks for having me.
Have a great weekend, enjoy it, change the clocks, don't
forget kids. Thank you for having me. Bye bye.
