Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It wouldn't be a Friday if we weren't talking about controversy.
So Trump went on a posting spree last night to
talk about the Georgia election, which again the I mean,
where do we just whatever? At this point? I don't care. Okay,

(00:35):
I don't. There's some people out there that's all they
care about. We gotta get the It doesn't matter. You
don't have a time machine. You're not going back into anything.
Come on, enough, right, like this, this retribution tour is old.
But during his spree, what did he do?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
He does what Trump does. He posts a bunch of things,
some of which are creators and in one of the posts,
Michelle and Barrock as apes. Now I know. Let me
tell you how this plays out for everybody. Okay, are

(01:17):
you ready for this? The left will be upset rightly.
So it's vulgar. You should pull it down immediately. But
you know, you know him, he'll double down and he'll say,
I didn't see it. This was more about you know,
because it's like thirty or forty or fifty, you know,
Trump truth things about being stolen in every conspiracy theory
you can think of. But it's another one of those things.

(01:39):
You know I started yesterday talking about and this is
the perfect example of here's Trump in a snapshot of
twenty four hours. I started yesterday talking about his interview,
you know, the big halftime interview thing. And then the
minute he was done, he calls savannahun three and her

(02:01):
family and says, whatever you need, we're here for you.
Right and behind the scenes though, right, and and the
was it uh Tony Amas or whatever from ABC was
the ones like most people aren't even talking about this
and they wouldn't even have seen it, but he did that.
Then the Prayer Breakfast he opens it up by basically

(02:21):
saying Thomas Massey is an idiot. He said, moron, and
you know, just it goes on an insult face at
the Prayer Breakfast right. Then later on he has the
Trump r Ax and he goes through all the stuff,
and then today it's you know this and you just
sit there and you go, it's exhausting. It is exhausting.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
We talk about the the the exhaustion of Trump, and
right now that the Republicans are feeling it, they are,
They're exhausted. They feel every fight because here's the thing,
Trump is up for reelection. He's on the ballot, but

(03:07):
he's not up for reelection. Well, how's he on the ballot?
Because he's the president and Trump, unlike any other president
in history, is always on the ballot. And because of that,
because of that, they've got to defend him twenty four

(03:27):
to seven. They have defended everything he does twenty four
to seven. And yeah, I have friends who are congressman
and senators, and you know what, they're exhausted. They are
because their world now is not just wrapped up in
the normal day to day politics, which doesn't exist anymore,

(03:51):
but what he may do at night while they're sleeping,
it is again the snapshot of twenty four hours that
is perfect right there, of everything that is our modern
politics and Trump. Oh goodness me three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson

(04:12):
Show is your extra insta YouTube all the other good stuff.
Hope you guys are ready for a fun Friday. We
got some fun stuff, We got some serious stuff. We're
going to talk a lot about the super Bowl. Obviously,
first and foremost, it's going over the numbers of the
super Bowl. So how many people are watching, what's this,
you know, a commercial cost. What about food? What is

(04:34):
that costing everybody this year.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
It's a combination of both because we do still see
online grocery prices, you know, seeing about a two to
three percent uptick, but we do also see an elevated
level of spending for those products just because people are
buying much more quantities of them to support parties and
things like that.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
So stuffs up a little bit, all right, what is natural?
Some stuffs down a little bit, But it's kind of
a mixed bag. But there are the staples, and those staples.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Chicken wings that'll be up one hundred and seventy nine percent,
chips and dips, soft drinks, condiments, and blue cheese dressing
specifically will be up quite a bit.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
So you're going to see an.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
Overall uptick of about twenty five percent in terms of
an increase for grocery spending.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
No, yeah, figured as much. I know that. They say
they were talking the today about you know, some of
the chips and the dips, some of that stuff has
gone down a little bit, but some of the meats
are still a little bit expensive, as you would expect.
And then, of course, one of the things that people

(05:46):
don't talk about TVs. It may be the biggest week
and weekend of the year for purchasing televisions.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
In the run up to Super Bowl, we see upwards
of sixty percent to sixty five percent increases in television
sales for TVs that are about seventy inches or larger.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Go to the store. Now, you wonder what is seventy
inch television costs like fifteen twenty years ago? If you
can even fathom something like that, you know, turn of
the century. And now it's like, yeah, I'll take that
seventy inch and when it breaks, I'm just gonna throw
it away and go buy another one. Now, we're gonna

(06:38):
be going over some of the numbers throughout the day
because it's fun, right, and we're fun people. That's what
we do, fun things. Let's talk about last year. There
was one point four to seven million chicken wings consumed.

(07:02):
That's a lot. That is a lot of chicken wings.
You want to know why the halftime show is controversial, Well,
it's because of bad Bunny. We can go over that
a little bit later, but also why it's important the
reach So last year, are you ready for this? One
hundred and twenty seven point seven million people watched the

(07:23):
super Bowl. That was a record. The halftime show, one
hundred and thirty three point five million people watched the
Super Bowl. Ooh, that right there shows you why the
importance of the halftime show and why they view it
as important as it is. And people have been asking

(07:46):
me because I've done some stuff for other countries, you know,
talking about a lot of different things, the politics of
America and whatnot, and you know, the whole Bad Bunny controversy.
Apparently he's been a little bit nervous this week about
it and the lot of pressure, you know, because Green Day.
I know, Goodell, like, look, just you're gonna say something

(08:07):
that's you're gonna sing something. Okay, we expect something like that.
But I think a lot of people are looking at
Bad Bunny here and the pressure that he's on because
a lot of people are gonna want him to say something,
stand out, do something like that. At the same time

(08:29):
that he probably wants to say something like he did.
He also respects the fact that the NFL has brought him,
and he feels like, hey, I've got to be able
to bring a show, and I don't want the show
to be all about controversy and me thrown to the
side because it's controversy rather than him and the music
and all of that stuff. And you know, so there's

(08:50):
a lot, there's a lot, you know, for him going
through this trying to figure out I'm gonna go out there,
I'm gonna do this, and people are gonna expect me
to say horrible things about maybe the President or Ice
or you know, we're not all this, that and the other.
And the right's going to react in a certain way,
and the left's gonna cheer and everybody's gonna talk about that,
and not the fact that his whole goal he like,
you know, he wants everybody to have fun, right, get

(09:11):
up and dance.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
I don't want to give any spoilers.

Speaker 8 (09:14):
Is gonna be fun and it's gonna be easy and
people only have to worry about dance. I know that,
I that I told him that they had four months
to learn Spanish. They don't even have to learn Spanish.
They just is better if they they they learn to dance.
But I think there's no there's no better dance that
the one that come from the herd, the you know,

(09:36):
the heartbeat dance. That's the only thing that they need
to worry about and have fun and enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Have fun and enjoy it. So I'm gonna give you
guys my pick a little bit later, because you guys
know I love football. I'm honestly, god, I honestly, I
honestly I picked the Bills to be in here and
get the win this year. And I think I picked

(10:01):
the Rams and they didn't make it, either of them.
Shame shame, indeed, both let me down. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your ex your Insta, your YouTube and Facebook? And

(10:22):
again we're gonna be breaking down the numbers, looking at
some of the crazy stuff, including how much the commercials cost,
which is insane this year, the amount that people are
spending on commercials. Top of that, what's the tickets cost?
How much is this gonna set you back? Because I

(10:42):
don't know if you're aware of this, it's not cheap, eh.
Plus what do the players get out of this besides
the chance to win the ring? What do the players get?
Talk about that as well, and a bunch of other stuff.
We've got a lot of other good stuff today and
some stuff that's top and talk a bit about the
Epstein stuff. Obviously that's a big deal, and you know, uh, frustrating, frustrating,

(11:10):
very very frustrating for me, but I think for a
lot of people out there, this is a very frustrating
time and a very eye opening time. So we talk
about that. We've got some Olympic stuff as well, including
Lindsey Vaughn going for it after blowing out her knee,

(11:32):
and by blowing out her knee, tearing her ACL and
yet she is going to do it. She is going
to do it. She already did a successful run today
just a week after tearing her ACL. That is crazy.
Talk about that. So many other good things on the way.

(11:54):
Buck Capital. We're going to talk to her buddy, zach
a branchie vestment officer Bulwick a little bit later in
the program, I want to talk to you about what's
going on in the market. You've seen that the chaos

Speaker 1 (13:13):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It is Friday, and you guys know what happens on Friday.
We have to gather ourselves, we have to take a
deep breath and we have to find out what the
hell happened this week because it has been a week. Finally,
it's Friday.

Speaker 9 (13:31):
It's Buxadoni fol.

Speaker 10 (13:35):
To look to the skies and report back to you
that there is a shadow here.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
On my ground.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Six more weeks of winter about.

Speaker 9 (13:47):
I'm not one hundred dollars walking in my bill hole.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I know how I say.

Speaker 11 (13:52):
Anybody is burning a hold.

Speaker 9 (13:55):
I do my bogeting and do my skin. I'm Monday morning.
It's fine, fine, I'm freezing here. I've done my mother
running again.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
It's fine that fire.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Burn me.

Speaker 7 (14:17):
Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ice out.

Speaker 12 (14:23):
There was a moment in my life that all I
had was a bible this big in a radio the
same size, and a six by eight foot seal, and
I believe that those two things could change my life.

Speaker 9 (14:33):
It's fine that fire freezing here. I've done my mother
running again. It's fine, fur.

Speaker 13 (14:48):
You know she's a young woman. I don't think I've
ever seen you smile. I've known you for ten years.
I don't think i've ever seen a smart.

Speaker 14 (14:55):
And again I'm able to take my own sadness and
look at those young girls and say, oh my god,
how did that happen to those girls?

Speaker 4 (15:02):
We have nothing to hide.

Speaker 15 (15:07):
J W thirty hours Loly Kennedy fun again, drove forget.

Speaker 16 (15:34):
If it comes down to me taking out myself and
my kids versus us being taken and harmed by ice.

Speaker 14 (15:43):
God helped me.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I did not want to do it. We say it
every week, but that was a hell of a week.
And you know what, we covered it all right here
on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 17 (15:54):
Our understanding is that the draw down is happening immediately
and in the very near few sure we.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Will draw down seven hundred people effected today.

Speaker 11 (16:05):
If you're listening, we need you to come home.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
We miss you.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
And that last thing that you that we played there
in the finally Friday of course Savannah gun three and
all the stuff that is going on there, and is
she kidnapped? Is she even alive? You know, is there
going to be a ransom? I mean this it's it's
a world news. I've had my buddies from Europe texting me,

(16:31):
you know what apping me and what not gone? You
know what is this all about? And think a conspiracy theories?
You know, they out of nowhere, they start popping up.
You know she was she was working on Epstein stuff
and you're like, okay, I mean I don't know what
to say at this point in time. I went with

(16:53):
the other day. It's probably a robbery gone wrong. They panicked,
that's it. Does anybody even know who you know her?
Her daughter is? Again, I have no idea, And you know,
obviously is it a kidnapping or was just they they
went in. We're surprised somebody was there, but then you

(17:16):
start to hear that there was a ring doorbell, and
you know stuff is missing, and they just again the
whole thing is bizarre and it is world News three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three. At Chad Benson Show,
it's your ex it is your instant and all the
other things that are out there. And we got a
TikTok as well. Coming up. We've got some super Bowl stuff. Yes,

(17:38):
I have my prediction, among other things.

Speaker 18 (17:40):
Chad Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Super Bowl sixty is this weekend. We're going over the numbers. Okay, kids,
we're breaking sound some of the numbers throughout the show
to day anywhere between thirty and fifty million people outside
of the United States of America we'll be watching the
Super Bowl inside of America, and you're between one hundred
and ten and one hundred and twenty million will view

(18:29):
the Super Bowl. What that is crazy?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Right?

Speaker 2 (18:32):
How about this ten million? That's how much a thirty
second commercial cost ten million dollars ten million? That is crazy.
That is up about what thirty plus percent from last
year and they sold out in minutes. Now, this year's

(18:53):
Focus AI and Tech Focus ads obviously cameos from slabs, snacks, drinks,
weight law, all those kind of things, and movies, tons
of movies.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I this week, you know, so I uh. On my
other local show, we do a little thing called hot
Take Tuesday. I'm thinking about doing it here, but hot
take Tuesdays where it's a non political hot take, And
mine this week was how I used to love watching
the ads at the game when you're watching the game, right,

(19:26):
So that's what. But now I can go online and
see all of the ads, and that frustrated me. But
apparently there's research out there that says the ads being
out there create a buzz, and because that buzz is created,

(19:48):
more people tend to then want to watch the ads
because they're already hearing about it. And so it's just interesting, interesting.
We'll have more of this and my pick, we're going
to do my pick next. We're also going to talk
about the monks where they are. Oh, yesterday there was
some ugly job numbers and we're not going to get
the normal job numbers and data we would get today

(20:10):
because of the mini shutdowns. So apparently it's coming out
next week, but there is enough data coming out that
things are uncomfortable. Things don't look great at this moment
in time. I think we can be honest about the
fact that there is a certain unease in the marketplace.
You've got AI issues right, and the AI stuff is

(20:35):
the bubble, and we're going to talk next hour in
Zach Abraham chief has been Officer Bold Capital. The AI
bubble is very real, Babel. That being said, it doesn't
mean AI is going to take over the world. It
doesn't mean that AI is going to it's going to
go nineteen ninety nine and we're gonna have the tech collapse.

(20:55):
But the amount of money that's been poured into AI
is so massive it's almost it's the too big to
fail scenario with AI in some areas. I mean, you
can't put trillion plus dollars into something make you know,

(21:18):
fifteen billion dollars a year and think that you're gonna
turn a profit anytime soon. So it's this, there's a
lot going on, but the fear of everybody losing their
jobs is that real? No, no, not right now. I'm
not saying that there isn't going to be jobs being

(21:40):
you know, taken over by a that's happening to what
extent though, right because we're a very doom and gloom world,
and doom and gloom sells way better than rosy pictures
of Hey, everybody's gonna get a robot in the world's
going to be great, because I don't think people, you know,
we're doom scroll. There's no happy scrolling. It's doom scrolling.
So the economy is still going to be the most

(22:03):
important thing for Trump and the Republicans. You know, as
we were talking earlier about all this stuff, including the
ridiculous truth out today that he put out there that
is horrible and racist and that he just retruth somebody.
He's headled out. Chat's not a big just retruth somebody.

(22:26):
All of that stuff grows louder and louder, especially if
the economy is on the struggle bus. You know, as
we were just talking about the Super Bowl, anybody who
follows sports at all knows there's a lot of teams
in history that couldn't stand each other. Look at the bulls.
They weren't all best friends. I mean, you go on

(22:48):
and on about how many teams could not stand each other,
But when they're winning, you never hear about it. There's
no cracks when things start to go a little sideways,
if the market starts to go a certain way. Because
Trump had the market is the most important thing to Trump,

(23:08):
right He Wall Street Main Street are two separate things,
and because of that he feels, well, you know, you
can't be mad. Look at the doubt's near record highs,
et cetera, et cetera. That's that case shape we've talked
about in the economy where the upper middle and upper
upper are doing good, but everybody else is on the

(23:30):
struggle bus, feeling the pinch. And if he was to
lose the upper upper and you've already pretty much are
struggling right now to convince everybody affordability is as a hoax,
you're gonna be in a lot of Trump. So it's
again those things that he does that frustrates people are

(23:54):
going to become louder and louder if things start to
turn a little bit, and what will eventually happen is
the anger is going to get out of the locker
room and you're going to see more people push back.
I me know you I think three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your ex your Insta and YouTube and if you
have a chance again use the text line. I try

(24:15):
to get back to everybody, or at least answer everybody
when it comes to either a dressing it on the
radio or back to you directly. You could also leave
a voicemail. There several people texting, and you know, yesterday
I was talking and this is the perfect example again
how people come at things, how people hear certain things
I said about the immigration side of stuff, how much

(24:36):
performative it is, and it is very performative. It is
very much a performative exercise. But it has consequences. People died,
and I acknowledge that somebody says and they text at
me about him. You know, these are fascists as always,
that is Renee Good, splattered face performative. I said, no,

(24:57):
it was horrible. I recognize that I said it when
others in my industry wouldn't with pretty. I said it
was awful. It was horrible, and the way that the
administration handled it was absolutely a crap show. You gonna
say something else, but we're on the radio. He says,

(25:18):
that's what you call minimize the violence and theft of
our rights by trying to stay. Oh, it's all performative
on the liberals as well. Well, that's true too, because everybody,
if you think everybody's there by the grace of goodness
and whatnot, that's a bunch of bs, because yes, there
is money behind it, and we're not in any way,
shape or form foolish enough to think that there's not.

(25:42):
And then he told me to get over myself. Oh
trust me, I'm over myself. But the craziness of how
this is going right with Minnesota, one hundred and thirty
thousand people there illegally and this big, crazy chaos going

(26:08):
on there. When we talked about the fact that you
look at Texas got two point one million and one
point six million in Florida, and we can go on
and on. The performative nature of it is because yes,
it's Trump and he likes the show sometimes, but also
the left and the media like it remember the guy

(26:31):
that is handling everything right now, Tomhoman. He did that
for Obama. Obama awarded him the you know, some sort
of presidential award. He deported more for Obama than anybody else.
And where was the cameras then, So to tell me
it's not performative, you know that's not true. At the
same time, I get an email or text message almost

(26:55):
the same time, going, hey, you're right about Trump and
the administration and what states they're hitting. It's all formative.
We can I'm not minimizing the violence, but I want
anybody to understand that there is, unfortunately methods to madness
on both sides. And the problem is we are so

(27:19):
conditioned to take sides and not to be open and
honest that hey, maybe our side screws up a bit,
maybe our side jack stapoocha bit. Maybe our side has
a role to play. Maybe I think more than maybe
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty three.
At Chad Benson Show, is your ex and your YouTube

(27:43):
and everything else, like and subscribe. We're gonna get in
a little bit detail later on about the Epstein stuff,
because I'm beyond frustrated with it, and you guys have
heard me talk about it. But the Clinton thing is
fascinating me, especially with Hillary, because Hillary said, yeah, let's
do it in the open, right, because her whole thing

(28:05):
is if you think I'm not going to burn all
of the bridges, oh I'm going to burn them and
everybody else who's on the boats. I'm burning those two
and then we'll deal with what's left. And my thought is, ooh,
I'd like to see that, right, I'd like to see
a little bit of that. Some other emails that have

(28:25):
come in. Chad, I absolute believe we guess we're talking
about the trans surgery. I absolutely believe trans surgery should
be illegal before the age of eighteen. Teenagers change their
mind often that surgery changes bodies and cannot be totally
undone damage them forever. Yeah, I one hundred percent agree
with that. And this was not a situation where you know,

(28:50):
you get this weird thing where if you bring it up,
you know, the the alphabet mafia comes after you, and
I'm like, I don't I don't really give a rats ass.
I didn't say that trans people weren't people and they
didn't deserve to live. I said that if you are
a child your fully developed body and brain aren't there yet.

(29:13):
I don't think you should be lopping things off and
taking things. I think most people kind of feel that
way as well. And once again, it goes back to
the fear factor. People are afraid. They're afraid to say
something because they're afraid that people are gonna come after me.
We can't, but I think there's a reckoning coming, especially
with lawsuits, because like anything else in life, Baby, when
you hit people in the wallet, it changes a lot.

(29:39):
All right, coming up, you know what got going on?
Talk a little bit more about the super Bowl. The

Fronnie with scissor sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Say, before we get to our Super Bowl picks, we're
gonna find out where our friends the monks are on
this very fun Friday as.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Quickly as you can snacking the pebble from my hand.
When you could take the pebble from my hand, it
would be time for you.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
To be Now it's time for your daily Monk March update.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Time for you to leave.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
So today our monks have started their march for peace
the last well they think Dallas Fort Worth in October
on their way to d C day one hundred and four.
They left Fredericksburg, Virginia earlier. Today they're heading to Stafford.
They're on the way and actually, you know what, today

(32:02):
as I saw them walking, they are how should I
say this, not dressed like they have been for the
last few days. But there's some cold weather coming. But
they're back in some of their sandals rather than their boots.
And there are a few that have been sick. But
they are not stopping their march. So the March for
Peace continues and we cover it all the way till

(32:23):
they get to DC. They're still thinking right around well,
there's sixteen days away, twenty twenty second. You know again,
the weather could play a role in this. Gotta love
it though, man, they got some get up and go
if you know what I mean. There is your Monk
March update for this fry yay. So we are getting
already for the super Bowl this weekend. Fun for volity,

(32:46):
food and all the good stuff. We're having some fun with,
you know, just stats and silly stuff. As we get
ready for it. By the way, if you want to
know some fun stuff, the first Super Bowl tickets, you
want to buy a ticket today, you're going to pay.
The latest tickets that have been sold over the last
couple hours are going anywhere between five and seven thousand dollars.
And you know it is you're not sitting nice, right,

(33:11):
You're not sitting like in the super nice sections. But
the original Super Bowl tickets nineteen sixty save Packers Chiefs
super Bowl one twelve bucks. So if you were to
adjust that for inflation to do like twenty thousand dollars,
yet it's one hundred and five. The best seats were
going for like twenty oh my lord. So, by the way,

(33:35):
do you know how many people attended the first Super
Bowl game? It was not a sellout because it wasn't
something yet. It hadn't become what it is become today,
which is a juggernaut and you know, kind of a
religion in our country, the must see TV show of
the year. The attendance for that Super Bowl was sixty

(33:59):
one thousand and nine, one hundred and forty six. It
was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on January fifteenth,
nineteen sixty seven. At the time, the Colosseum held seventy
five thousand, so I mean good seats were still available,
is what I'm trying to tell you, kids. So now
let's break it down, shall we. Let's do it. I'm

(34:19):
going to give you my pick for Super Bowl champions. Now,
you guys know how I feel about the Patriots. Earlier
this week, my son said, Dad, do you have some
pictures of me and my Patriot outfits when I was little?
Because he and I are Patriots fans, and I sent
him some because his friends thought he was bandwaggon it
and I'm like, no, he's been a Patriots fan since
he was born. Because I was a Patriots fans because

(34:39):
I love the Rams. But the Rams move when I
was a kid, and they broke my heart. So I
picked another team and it was the Patriots, and they sucked.
And I do love the Patriots, but I'm not a fool.
I'm going to give it to you straight, guys. So
here you go this weekend. You're going to see a
hell of a defense that's the Patriots, but you're going
to see an amazing, incredible, beast like defense that is Seattle.

(35:01):
You're going to see a hell of an offense. Darnold
is good smith and Jigba is amazing, arguably the best
receiver outside of Puka Nakua in the NFL. The game's
going to be close for a while, but I think
when all is said and done, Seattle is going to
be your Super Bowl champions. I'm thinking thirty eight to fourteen,

(35:23):
something like that. I think they really put it away
the end of the third, end of the fourth. There
you go, kids. As much as I love the Patriots,
I think the twelfth Man gets it done in Super
Bowl sixty three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three. At Chad Benson Show, is your ex
install all the other things right here in the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up, hour number two of the program,

(35:44):
We're going to talk about Epstein. I'm gonna be really
honest about the chaos that I see around this because
I think it needs to happen. We talk about the Olympics,
which kicked off a couple of days ago, but there's
still some issues. And also Lindsey Vaughn, which is just crazy,
the fact that she is racing with a torn acl

(36:04):
and I'll tell you why. Plus forget chief investment officer
from bwar Capital, Zach Abraham. We'll get his take on
the Super Bowl because don't know if you guys aware
of that, he's in Seattle. So where do you think
he's gonna go with this? We'll discuss that and even
ask him that question. Should we put money on it?
So much more? And yes we will laugh. I promise that.
More super Bowl facts, all that straight ahead, Hour number

(36:24):
two Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
The Bowls this weekend. Who will win? I've already given
you my prediction. I believe the Seahawks when we'll lashcar
Buddy Zach game. You have a chief vestment officer coming
up a little bit because he lives in Seattle, and
if you've ever watched us do our videos together, you
know he's got Seahawks stuff there. I'm thinking it might
be the Seahawks. Here's some stuff you didn't know as
we have some fun with the Super Bowl stuff. Last

(37:17):
year champions the Eagles. They got nice rings. If you
didn't see the rings, they're amazing. They had one hundred
and forty five diamonds on the bezel Okay, each representing
the Eagles record setting one hundred and forty five playoff points.
The thing that was crazy about it is there's forty
diamond points, matching the team's forty points in the Super

(37:40):
Bowl eighteen. Greenstones around the top symbolizing the Eagles eighteen
combined regular season and playoff victories. And then there was
a hidden button and when you hit the button, it
launched a pair of pop out Eagle wings. So it
was interactive. Yeah, what it cost probably one hundred two

(38:02):
hundred thousand dollars. It was just insane. It was insane. Uh,
when you win, guess what else you get money?

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Not a lot.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Winning team is gonna get one hundred and seventy eight
thousand each. Now, if you're on a rookie contract, you're stoked,
right if you're if you made the team and you're
the fifty third player on the roster, you're stoked. So
that's not that's not bad. But if you're making forty
million dollars a year, you know you care about the

(38:32):
ring more than anything, but a little change don't hurt.
Losing team's gonna get one hundred and three thousand dollars
the amounts are player bonuses, so this is not based
on everybody's getting the same. Okay, everybody gets the same.
They all receive full bonus eligibility. It can and it

(38:56):
rarely does it happen, but they can decide we're gonna
give this person a little bit less because they were
inactive or whatever. But for the most part, everybody gets it.
So that's pretty awesome little things that we're learning about
the Super Bowl. Before we get serious, and we're gonna
get serious here, I'm gonna say this about the whole
Epstein stuff, Okay, because you guys have known. I've been

(39:17):
on it for a while. I think, and this is
just me. When the banks failed too big to fail,
I think the implications of what may be in all
of these things are too big. What pisses me off

(39:42):
as there is no nobody who's going to pay the
price for any of this outside of Prince Andrew. For
whatever reason, Prince Andrew is the one that they're gonna
His life is destroyed, I mean, you know, in so
many ways, but he's the one everybody keeps going back to.
And there's some other repercussions coming, but it has nothing
to do with the the the potential of the sex

(40:04):
crimes or any of that stuff, and that's also out
of the UK. That may even drag down cure Stammer.
So there's a there's there's other implications. But I think
the protection and the way that this has been handled
shows me a lot of things. First and foremost, to
think that we're like them and they're like us is

(40:29):
a lie. Now there may be some like us, the
run of the mill congress person or certain you know,
senator maybe maybe maybe, but the ultra powerful and wealthy
and connected, they do live in a different world. They do,

(40:53):
and you cannot deny that. The fact that he only
trafficked women to himself. The lies have been uncovered over
and over again and over and over again and over
and over again, is insane. It is, you know, my frustration,

(41:17):
and the part of the problem with all of this
is and my uncle and I were talking about this
last night, because his whole thing is everybody wants it
to be D versus R. And it's right versus wrong,
it's good versus evil. That's what this is. And that's

(41:41):
the frustrating thing is everybody approaches this as this is
a crime, that is a massive scale crime that took
place over decades potentially, and so many big players countries.

(42:07):
The implications are so massive that those young girls who
are now women, you were just a pawn in a
game of people that saw you no more than that
and used you as such. Outside of Prince Andrew, and
my uncle's like, well, it's a lot of ds on there,

(42:30):
so that's why I said, really, I said, that's all, Well,
there's not a lot of ours. I said, there's a
lot of ours and d's. And I said, if you
really think it's only the d's, then answer me this question.
Why is the Trump administration protecting democrats? It's d's, it's RSS,

(42:52):
it shakes, it's royalty, it's power brokers. It's people who
lived in a different world and were able to get
away with something that was heinous to the point where
the other three million can't be released because of potential

(43:14):
national security or something like this. It should anger all
of us. You know, When the Catholic Church got caught,
we wanted to know everything and we wanted to absolutely
stomp it out, and we wanted them to pay the price.
When the Boys Scouts got caught, we wanted to know everything.
We wanted to stop it out and we wanted to

(43:36):
make them pay the price. And then there's this and
it is vile and disgusting. So my uncle said, well,
what if it was so big that it could hurt
us and bring us in other countries down to our knees.

(43:58):
And I go, well, then we deserve it, because if
that's what we have become, then we do deserve it.
The fact that it became so political, like everything else,

(44:24):
is sad. You know, when Trump, when COVID hit, the
politics of it overrode science and reality. If Trump wasn't president,
would we have handled COVID differently? Maybe?

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Yeah? Maybe?

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Would we not tell people knowing full well that the
mask didn't work the way that everybody wanted that you
had to wear a mask? Or do you had to
sayd six feet or all this kind of stuff and everybody?
Would we have handled it differently?

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
If Trump wasn't president now and this was coming out,
would this be handled in a different way? I think
so to a certain extent. How much more I couldn't
tell you, because yes, the power brokers are real. It's
not an RD, it's the right wrong, it's good evil,

(45:22):
That's what this is. It's disgusting, it's vile, and from
how he made his money to the conspiracies of which
some of them may be far truer than people realize.
I thought this right here was hilarious. I know it

(45:43):
sounds weird to say that, but Stephen A. Smith and
Bill Maher talking about this, what were your.

Speaker 19 (45:54):
Thoughts about the Epstein thousand and three million pages being released?
And you know, now we hearing that Bill and Hillary
Clinton have both agreed to testify in the House I had,
you know, ahead of the contempt of Congress vote.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
What are your thoughts about that?

Speaker 20 (46:12):
Well, I mean, this is certainly something we were talking
in my meeting today about what I'm going to talk
about on the show Friday.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Because it's just too interesting.

Speaker 20 (46:21):
And also, you know, I can't believe I'm saying this,
but where does QAnon go for the apology?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
You know, I mean.

Speaker 20 (46:31):
QAnon, which believed in lots of really ridiculous things like
you know, Democrats, babies. Yeah, but they were kind of
harping a lot on the idea that the elites are
running this pedophile ring in.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Lo and Behold, and I thought that was funny. Where
does Qwanon go? Look? A lot of what they said
was cuckoo and crazy. But then you start to read
a lot of these emails, and some of it is
so disturbing and so disgusting and so vile, and nobody's
going to be punished for it. So not only was

(47:11):
it a crime and horror what happened to these young girls,
they decided we'll crime it up again by protecting everybody
at all costs. And so the Wakadu's out there that
I've joked about with the Q NO on stuff, were

(47:34):
they right? Well, I'll tell you one thing. This cover
up absolutely wrong, and that's what it is. Do I
think it's over? No, I don't think it's over. Do
I think we'll ever find out all of the truth. No,
But we're going to have to continue to say, hey,

(47:56):
we'd like some more answers. This isn't it? You give
us something, and instead of giving us something again, you're
never going to satisfy everybody, But now you satisfy nobody,
and upon satisfying nobody, you make people hungrier because they

(48:19):
recognize there's a lot more here. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ched Menson Show, is
your ex install all of the other things relief Factor.
Take it every single day. It works. You know, I
know because I get text messages. I get emails from
you saying, dude, I bought relief Factor. I didn't think
it was going to work, and lo and behold it does.

(48:42):
Why is that because there's all these incredible things in it.
Take Brian for instance. Okay, so this guy, it's like,
I've listened to your show. I think it worked, but
I really needed something because his life was changing. He
was struggling at work and he didn't think he was
going to be able to continue do what he did.
He starts taking relief Factor. Within three weeks at ninety
percent of his pain gone. He says, not always better

(49:04):
at work, but he's better at home. That can be you.
I wait to try relief Factor today. Three week quick start.
It's got to make a three fatty ascids resveratrol. It
focuses on inflammation in those pathways. It's gonna help your
muscles and your joints recover and you're gonna feel better.
I'm telling you, guys, you are go to relief Factor

(49:24):
dot com. Relief Factor dot com or called eight hundred
four relief eight hundred four relief and ask yourself the question,
how's it going to feel to be out of pain?
Go to reliefactor dot com or called eight hundred the
number four relief for relief factor. Make sure you tell him.
Chad Sincha some Olympics. We talk about it straight at
Chad Bensa show.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
You're listening to the Chad Vincy Show.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
The Olympics.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Ah heah.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Urpening games have already begun, then the ceremonies shall take
place soon. Yeah, it's basically do you hear so? The Olympics,
as you guys know, the Winter Olympics, the White Olympics,
I call them, uh, the it's not very nice. It's honest, Okay,
we do honest here. It's interesting because, first of all,

(50:34):
we've already talked about what a mess it is, and
then yesterday they had to cancel the women's Canadian Finland
ice hockey game because both teams had neurovirus and they
had no players. So this is going well swimmingly as
we'd like to say, a lot of stuff doesn't work.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
And the other thing is the the corruption they're talking
about at the Olympics is tremendous. Why is that because
apparently the mob has run a lot of this and
so they're there's that. Then you've got the fact that
it's bizarre that these two cities are hosting it, which
are nowhere near each other.

Speaker 21 (51:10):
These Olympics are a huge endeavor. They across two different
locations in Italy. We are talking multiple volunteers, multiple security zones,
multiple athletes, multiple opening ceremonies.

Speaker 19 (51:24):
Ooh ooh.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
How far away are they?

Speaker 21 (51:27):
So Melana Kurtina are about a five six hour drive apart.
But there's also Bormeo where we'll be heading in a
couple of days. That's where men's alpine skiing is taking place.
That's also six hours from Courtina.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
So while all that, again is interesting, in this night
watch all that stuff, and again I'm I'm curious to see.
I think tonight it'll be spectacular and all that kind
of stuff. But the thing I'm interested in this weekend
is Lindsay Vonn. So Lindsay Vonn one of the great
downhill skiers of all time. I think amongst women, she's

(52:01):
like third most wim you know, most winning downhill female
skier of all time. Smoking hot. That's always a good
thing too. Just threw it out there because you know, look,
she throws it around, but kind of a badass. You
see last week in the final races before the Olympics,
she crashed and tore her ACL three two, three, five,

(52:23):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Cheer X, your Insta, YouTube and everything else right here
on the Chad Benson Show. But she said, screw it.
I'm gonna race anyways, and I'm gonna be on the
Olympic team, which has got some people upset. Should she
be there? Shouldn't she be there? She's gonna do it,
and that's what athletes do. Would you compete? Why y'all

(52:47):
go to work with injuries? Don't we? Hers is a
little different, let me know. So the ACL obviously is
a big deal. And I was talking a couple of
people yesterday about this because I say, you know, it's
badass thing, and they're like, well, should you be there?
Shouldn't she be there? I'm like, yeah, here's the thing.
She's the damage is done. If she hurts her meniscus,

(53:08):
that could be one thing, but the damage is done.
So the rest of your muscles are gonna have to
kind of take over. It's gonna be sore. But she's
also forty one. This is her last Olympics. She came
out of retirement to do this. She's not gonna be
doing it in four years. So if she was twenty one,
I think she go, you know what, too much potential

(53:28):
for damage and the future. I got a long future head.
This is it. She's not coming back in four years
to race again. That's why you go, screw it. I'm
gonna do it. So and it has been done before,
even you know, people on her team others. It's gonna hurt,
there's no doubt, like she said, as everybody else has.

(53:50):
But we all go to work with injuries and she's
gonna do it. What the hell, So Sunday look for that.
It's gonna be you know, this is the kind of
stuff we don't pay attention to.

Speaker 20 (53:59):
It.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Talked yesterday about the you know, the ski jumpers with
their you know, the whole thing with their wing your stuff,
and this is, you know, a different kind of thing.
This is the carry strug of the Winter Olympics. Potentially
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show is your ax, your ins to
YouTube and all the other stuff are. Buddy, Zach Abram,
Chievesment Officer Board Capital is going to join the program.
We're going to talk about well, you know, the economy.

(54:20):
Stupid Chad Benson chick fun Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
All right, it's that time of the week. Talk to
our good buddy, Zack Abram, Chiefvesment Officer Board Capitals. We
talk about all things when it comes to the economy.
First and foremost, though, got to give me your Super
Bowl pick.

Speaker 22 (54:58):
I mean, I think you know where I'm where I line.
Uh but but you know, in an unbiased way. You know,
I'm like you, I'm a sports nerd and I played
college football, So you got to put on your analyst
tat right.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
I think that I think that the Patriots are underrated.

Speaker 22 (55:14):
I think they're gonna be really They're really well coached,
they're really tough, playing really good football. If you're a
fan of good football, I think you're probably gonna this
is gonna be a good game for you. I just
have a really hard time seeing the Patriot offense being
able to do anything against Seattle's defense. There there's there's

(55:34):
one team out there that it plays unbelievable when they
play against us and can move the ball on us,
and that's LA and outside of Matt Stafford, just nobody's
been able to do it. So I didn't I think
Seattle's gonna win. I don't think it's gonna be an
easy game, but I think it'll kind of be, like
I anticipate it kind of being like the l A

(55:56):
game where hopefully we don't make a bonehead penalty with
five minutes left to go in the game to let
them back in. But I just think when you look
at the Seahawks roster, they're better. We got better players,
and I think we have in this game. I think
we've got an advantage at quarterback. People will be like, oh,

(56:17):
look at the regular Seaton. Look, man, one guy's one
guy's been around the league.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
For a lot longer the other guy hasn't.

Speaker 22 (56:23):
And I think Drake May is awesome, But you know,
I think starting starting a Super Bowl is a big deal.
And I think Darnold I think what he's been through
is going to kind of benefit him in that arena.
And I think that we're Yeah, I think it's gonna
be a good match up. I just state the Seahawks

(56:43):
was then a really tough challenge man, because they're just
really good at every level. You know, there's no holes.
So New England a good football team too. I just
think the Seattle's got an edge on defense. I think
that Seattle hash an edge on offense.

Speaker 4 (56:59):
That shows them. I mean, you know, the stats are
what they are.

Speaker 22 (57:01):
Seattle's better offensively and defensively and special teams.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
There you go, they should win.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
There you go, put all your money on it, sell
your house, put all your money on it. Zach has
spoken Seahawks with the wind, speaking of all your money.
The market freaked out over the last week or so
because of the pick that Trump supposedly made for the FED,
which of course he still has a lot before he
ever gets to that point, but there was a bit
of a freak out over this cat.

Speaker 22 (57:25):
I think that well, to see the way this plays out,
a lot of this stuff's changing on the ground as
we speak.

Speaker 4 (57:30):
I think that that was a bit of an overreaction.

Speaker 22 (57:33):
And I also think that there was going to be
fireworks with rates, with the dollar and with metals regardless,
because of what metals were doing right so and all
do all of these things play in sure, does what's
going on with Trump and the US federal government, and

(57:56):
do all of the current events play into what's going
on in the dollar, in rates and metal?

Speaker 4 (58:00):
Of course they do, right, But when you see silver
going up, what did we have? We had? Didn't we
have fifteen twenty percent days?

Speaker 2 (58:08):
We're still saying it was insane?

Speaker 22 (58:10):
Yeah, and you see you know gold being limited bit
up four or five six percent? You were when you
have big movements and assets like that. I think most
of it was that. Honestly, I think most of it
was that. I think the reaction to Warsh was just
a bit of it, you know what I mean, just

(58:32):
a touch of it. I don't think he's a big
big deal. I think that that everybody, the media had
done this again. And I'm not blaming them, not going
off on an anti media dietribe here, but the media
has played their game again and they've made this FED
pick to be so much more important than it is.
It's one of twelve votes on interest rate policy, right,

(58:52):
So the idea that you get a different FED headed and.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Oh there goes the neighborhood. This guy's all of a sudden.

Speaker 22 (58:57):
It's just it's just it's just the culture they're living
in right now. Everybody just has to overreact to the
maximum degree, you know what I mean, Like it's nobody
can have a balance take.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
Nobody can sit there and be like, well, we'll see
the way the worst plays out.

Speaker 22 (59:12):
It was to the point where I was sitting there
on Okay, so what is the market?

Speaker 4 (59:15):
You know, what is the market reading into this?

Speaker 22 (59:17):
And that's why I said, I don't really think that
was the biggest driver. It is weird as it sounds.
I think the biggest driver was just the volatility that
was coming into currencies via the unprecedented volatility saw on
the metals markets. And I think some of this other
stuff was just kind of like side.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Dressing, you know what I mean, Yeah, totally totally talking
to Zach Abraham, Chief has one Officer, Bullward Capital, uh
Ai Tech. We all we always talk about we all
worry about, you know, what's what if there's a pop
gonna happen at some point in time. I look at
Ai and it does there's some neat stuff out there.
But then I look over and see what China is doing, right,
I see what some of the other markets are doing.

(59:56):
I see how they're handling their AI comparatively to our AI,
which is is apparently we're going to allow AI here
to do whatever they want, whenever they want. We're China
has a different approach to it. You know. Their whole
thing is we're not going to destroy our economy. We
want this for some stuff, we don't want it for everything.

Speaker 22 (01:00:13):
Yeah, it's I think that this is going to be
one of those classic cases of capitalism needs to not
eat itself.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
We need to not and that and that's one of
the things that.

Speaker 22 (01:00:27):
You know, and that goes part and parcel with the
ridiculous overvaluation. The whole veneer lining AI in the United
States is concerning right now, both in terms of how
it rolls out and those implications also just what the

(01:00:48):
expectations are right like how where where people are going
to try to plug this thing into And so you know,
I think last week to me and then obviously you
see that you know, carrying over to the equity markets,
and you saw it last week with earnings out of
Meta and Microsoft meaning you know, Meta came out and
announced another one hundred and thirty five billion dollar investment

(01:01:13):
via Capex, and the stock went up twelve percent. That
shouldn't happen these That is very concerning, and people go,
what do you mean it shouldn't there?

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Who are you to say? Guys, Look, take all of what.

Speaker 22 (01:01:29):
You're saying, and all of the narratives and all of
the analysis you've heard about meta and throw it out
the window.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
Here's the brass tax that think of that.

Speaker 22 (01:01:39):
One hundred and thirty and it will be the majority
of it will probably be definites. You're introducing a massive
level of uncertainty into one of the largest companies balance
sheets in the history of mankind.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
That should not. Stock prices do not like uncertainty.

Speaker 22 (01:01:57):
If anything, that Capex spend should have hit them for
twelve percent, not made them go up.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Chad, you know this. I know I'm not telling you anything.

Speaker 22 (01:02:07):
You don't know how outside of normal finance is that
reaction to Capex. You know, like, it's ludicrous, it's insane
that it is the opposite of the way a stock
should react, in the way an investor should react. Am
I sell it telling that you should have fire sold
all your stock on that announcement? No, but as an
owner of the company, you should be sitting back going

(01:02:29):
whoa one thirty five.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
Boy, we're rolling pretty big. And then what's the next sentence?
It better pay off?

Speaker 22 (01:02:38):
Right? Well, how does that uncertainty injected into that story
make the stock price go up?

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
It shouldn't, no so, and it's only one stock.

Speaker 22 (01:02:49):
But that's what scares me about AI, that American attitude
surrounding AI, that we're going to AI everything, including the
kitchen sync and I'm not joking. You're watching them inject
AI into fridges.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Oh yeah, absolutely so that do.

Speaker 22 (01:03:08):
And that's one of the things that you look at
and we're seeing this play out in real time, right,
That's one of the things where you look at the
Chinese system and you go, there's certainly some advantages with
that approach. And I mean, just look at the way
that they're dealing with the opposed to us.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
I feel like we've got ten fifth.

Speaker 22 (01:03:25):
Graders with no shirts on and buckets on their heads,
just charging down the street, right, Whereas like I look
at them and I feel like I've got a team
of engineers like planning the next steps and it's thought
out in plotting. There's upsides and downsides to both approaches.
Considering that I grew up watching Terminator and I still

(01:03:47):
have concerns about Skye too. I'd rather take the slow
role approach on this doesn't really seem to be the
way that the American entrepreneurs going about it. But you know,
I and then I think that you and I know,
I think some shine is coming off that rose on
the AI trade. Like we were talking about that being said,

(01:04:07):
there's wonderful places to play it, you know, Like you know,
you and I have been talking now for probably a
year and a half that the game is not in
those companies that everybody associates with AI, it's in the surroundings.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
So what have we seen recently?

Speaker 22 (01:04:19):
You know, we bought Micron stock a month and a
half ago or something right after that earnings release.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Stocks up seventy percent since we bought it. That was
a real move.

Speaker 22 (01:04:29):
Now you look at Micron and some of the other
RAM companies out there, certainly sand Disk, and you're kind
of scratching your head, going, okay, boy, that's getting that's
getting pretty spicy on the price side.

Speaker 4 (01:04:39):
But I just as an investment.

Speaker 22 (01:04:41):
Theme, I think in America right now, I think it's
very uninvestable on the big cap space. So why do
I say uninvestable, because when stocks are going up by
ten to thirteen percent because they're taking on a massive
amount of risk, that's a pretty good sign that they're
pretty fully priced.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Yeah yeah, I mean it's saying, when do you think
about it?

Speaker 22 (01:05:01):
Right, we're a we're going to lever up this balance
sheet and put us in the one financial do the
one thing that could threaten this massive juggernaut we've built
and less pumped the stock because of it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:16):
Like that's and again I'm not saying they're going to fail.

Speaker 22 (01:05:19):
I think Zuckerberg, if you look at his track record,
he's done a really good job in vestin cap X. Right,
I'm not calling one hundred and thirty five billion dollars
that's real money, and this is money that could impair
their balance sheet and their earnings for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy, man, it is. It's nut
Stan talking to Zach Abraham, Chi best one officer board Capital.
People want to reach out to you, They want to
do a know your risk portfolio view. Tell them what
that is.

Speaker 22 (01:05:46):
So the bottom line is we especially right now, it's
very very prescient. But just looking over the portfolio that
you have right now and what we're finding. And I'm
not trying to make people alarmed and they shouldn't be surprised.
But one thing in this market has been running so
long that we open these people's portfolios and we go
you effectively have your entire network spread across five stocks.

(01:06:08):
Probably not a good idea, right, So looking at what
you're doing, and I'll tell you every once in.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
A while we find one where we go. You know,
these people are doing a pretty good job for you.

Speaker 22 (01:06:16):
So we'll look it over, we'll review it, look at
how your portfolio messes with what it is that you're
trying to do. We'll show you how we do things differently,
our active management approach and multi asset class approach, and
show you our performance and say, hey, here's what we
could do at a different price. This is why we
think it's better here. You go, let us know if
you want to proceed, simple and easy.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Yep. And I say this all the time. It sounds corny,
but we really mean it.

Speaker 22 (01:06:41):
We're looking for partners, not clients, and that's why we're
a feed based outfit, meaning we make a flat feed.
Your money goes down, we make less money. Your money
goes up, we make more. We're partners. We have no commissions,
no trade costs. If we do well right or the
better you do, better we do. We're in it together.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
And like I said, I also think there's a lot
of risks out there.

Speaker 22 (01:07:01):
But I also think this is one of the most
opportunistic times to invest I've seen my career.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
So we're pumped right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
On, brother, right on, appreciate it. We'll talk after the
Super Bowl. You have a good one and the go Seahawks,
go Patriots. Who either side of the aisle you're on
on that situation, I still feel like beauty.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
You bet you got to be on the sele.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
I feel like the Seahawks. Look I after the Rams left,
I fell in love with the Patriots because the Rams
broke my heart. But if I'm realistic, I don't see
I don't see this. I don't see the Patriots winning
this weekend. I just don't. Let's don't is it to
my hair?

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
Brother?

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Right on, brother, you have yourself a good we'll do
it next week.

Speaker 4 (01:07:35):

Speaker 23 (01:08:51):
Chad Benson Joe serving up talk radio medium, rare and
dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
We're multi lingual on the shelf. So if you gotta
listen to this program, you're gonna find out, Hey, we're
multi lingual.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Not talking about Spanish or French or something like that,
that'd be great as well, but talking about the youth
of America who uses words and phrases for things that well,
sometimes it just doesn't make sense. So it's good to
know the mean culture all of that kind of stuff.
So that way when your kids say something, you can
decode it, or you look cool, or if you're at

(01:09:39):
work and the youngsters are talking, you're not left out,
if that makes sense. You know what time it is now.

Speaker 11 (01:09:46):
It's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 11 (01:09:54):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Alrighty, already, alrighty. I like this one. So if you
know what selling is, right, man, you're selling too hard.
You're not good at something. You know what I was saying.
If you're explaining you're losing when you do it well,
you sold it. Man, how'd you guys do today? I

(01:10:21):
played amazing, I sold it means you've done it well.
Whatever it is that you were doing, whatever it is
that you were explaining, whatever it is that you were
at work, your big project, sold it. Oh yeah right. See. See,
selling means you're not doing well. But when you sold it,
you did it well. That's your urban word of the day.

Speaker 11 (01:10:44):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Now you know, you do know, you do know the
whole thing with the selling too. It's like a bad joke,
not a bad joke that's just stupid, but where you
think it's funny and you think the people don't get it,
and no matter how many times you tell it right
and you start breaking it down with what but no, no,

(01:11:07):
you gotta look at it this way. If you're explaining
it's either not funny or you're not winning. It's very political.
That's a big thing you can do in politics today
if you have to explain something over and over again, affordability,
whatever it is, and how you're not winning. If you're

(01:11:29):
explaining you're losing because you're trying to what sell it.
But when you knock it out, the park sold it.
Oh use that on the youngsters today. They will be
very impressed by what you have to offer. Oh my lord,
three two three five three eight twenty four twenty three.

(01:11:54):
That is the text line three two three five three
eight Chad. And it's also a place where you can
leave a voicemail if you want to as well, So
you can leave a voice note or you can text
the program. And again, we love hearing from all of you.
Got some text messages and some voicemails that we're going
to play next hour. So and I continue to say this,
I love hearing from everybody, good, bad, and in indifferent.

(01:12:14):
And you can reach out those across many of our
social media's right here in the old Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, our number three, last hour of the week,
talk a little bit about Epstein. Obviously the Super Bowl.
I'm going to break down some of the numbers in
that crazy numbers as well. Then we've got what's trending

(01:12:36):
about a Jim Kennedy from the Kennedy Institute of Public
Policy Research is going to join the program. We're going
to talk a bit about immigration. That big white paper
that Cato put out the Institute, not Kato Kaylin about immigration,
and we're going to talk a little bit about that
as well. A bunch of other good stuff on the way,
and you're finally Friday Sounds all coming up in the

(01:12:57):
Action packt the Power Pact and quite frankly, damn entertaining
our number three straight ahead Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show,

(01:13:36):
Superbold Weekend is here.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Bad Bunny is the one who's getting all the press
right now. It's kind of weird because controversy.

Speaker 7 (01:13:51):
Sells everyone who's stopped me at the street or wherever
I go. They only wish like good things on me.
And and I know that there was gonna be happy
at these Sunday and they're gonna have fun, and they're
gonna dens and they're gonna have a good time.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
Yeah, that's good. We want that good time. Let's have
some fun. No, Chad, it's controversy and hate because that's
what's all about now. It's not we're gonna have a
good time. I've already giving you my pick. I'm gonna
give it to you later on if you didn't get it.
I'm excited. I like the Super Bowl. I'm bumped about it.
We've been giving you stats all day. You know how
much each team's gonna get. What the cost of a

(01:14:30):
ticket is. First Super Bowl we found out last hour,
what sixty five thousand somewhere around sixty three thousand people
attended the first game. It's like nothing didn't sell out.
You get the tickets for twelve bucks, you walk up
and buy tickets day of and then insane. Yeah, there's
no walking up and buying tickets today like that at

(01:14:52):
the box office. By the way, twelve dollars then at
justin inflation's about one hundred and five to one hundred
and twelve bucks, right, So good tickets were available. Good
tickets we're available kids. So it was ah. It was
interesting though, as we're going through this ten million for
a thirty second commercial, I know, right, ten million per

(01:15:14):
thirty second commercial. That's up like thirty some percent from
last year. The winning team gets one hundred and seventy
eight I think per player one hundred and thirty eight
grand one hundred and like ten or something like that
per losing team per player. Interesting. I bet if you
ask every one of those players, would you give up

(01:15:36):
the winner share for the Super Bowl ring? And I
think the words would be hell yes, Okay, hell yes,
I would. So that's that's interesting. Pumped about again this
weekend as we go through a lot of this stuff,
you'd give you my pick a little bit later, just
you know. I'm excited for all of the festivities once

(01:15:57):
the game gets near. I don't want from the morning on.
I don't care what happens at eight in the morning
at a empty stadium with people who are working there
buzzing around. I don't care about that. I care about
the walkout, the national anthem, the game. I want to
watch the commercials. I haven't watched the commercials because they're

(01:16:18):
available everywhere, which pisses me off. And it's weird because
this is this is the way I look at stuff
from what I understand. The commercials being out there early
generates a buzz, which gets me people talking about it,
which makes people want to watch the commercials more. I

(01:16:40):
kind of like the surprise myself. But you know what
we'll see. We'll see Chad, are you gonna watch you?
The TPUSA halftime I am not going to watch the
TPUSA halftime, not that I don't like Bombita Bong To
Dang to Dang, Diggy Diggy Diggy Kid Rock, but I
probably won't even watch much of Bad Bunny if it
because that's when I go do my other things and

(01:17:02):
it takes two damn long and so so I'll go
take the dogs down, do whatever I have to do.
If I've th run the store, get snacks, That's what
I'll do it. So pomped and excited again. And the
Olympics kicked off, which is interesting. We'll talk a little
bit about that coming up. The mystery continues for Nancy Guthrie,

(01:17:23):
Savannah Guthrie's mom, who has disappeared, and they're trying to
paint a clear picture. Ish, you know, let's be real.
There's a lot more that they're not saying because they
don't want it to get out, if you know, because
I think a lot of people are like, do you
think I'm sure they Well, I'd like to think that

(01:17:44):
there's a lot more out there. And the picture though
they're painting for everybody, gets a little clear.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
This morning.

Speaker 24 (01:17:50):
The FBI is taking seriously the chance Nancy Guthrie is
being held for ransom. Several news organizations received a note
containing descriptions of her watch man for bitcoin and two deadlines,
one past and one Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
So that Monday one was you remember when it first happened.
TMZ talked about that Monday one, and they're not ruling
out any of this stuff. And we'll get to TMZ
in a second, but the timeline, because at first, when
I heard what had happened, it made it seem like
it was the middle of the day, and maybe my

(01:18:25):
first thoughts, well, obviously it was probably just going to
be a straightforward robberty. They panicked, maybe, and in panicking
they didn't know what to do and they took her.
That could have been that kind of situation, but we'll
find out more that it's probably not.

Speaker 24 (01:18:40):
That she had dinner and game night Saturday evening at
her daughter Annie's nearby home. Arriving by uber, police interviewed
the driver. The family brought her home just before ten pm.
Four hours later, at one forty seven am, a doorbell
camera was disconnected. At two twelve, a nest camera detected
a possible intruder, but was not set up to record images.

(01:19:01):
At two twenty eight Nancy's pacemaker app disconnected from her phone,
which was left behind in a house.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
That's the big thing is what does she have, if
any medication, What does she have as far as because
the pacemaker, that was the last time anybody had got
any kind of alerts. She has hard issues, she has
a lot of other issues that you know, just naturally aging.
She's eighty four years old. But the way that they're

(01:19:30):
talking about there's an scam, there's this, there's that. It
made it seem like this may have been a little
bit more than just a Rando robbery gone wrong.

Speaker 25 (01:19:40):
Of the two deadlines, and you saw this note of
the two deadlines in the email you said earlier that
the Monday deadline is the more I think you said
consequential of the two. I know you're choosing your words
carefully as you should, and we want you to. Can
you just share anything else about that?

Speaker 26 (01:19:57):
Yes, So the deadline just passed has to do with
the demand. The Monday deadline has more to do with consequences,
and Anderson, that's you know, it's about as much as
I can say. I mean, I don't think you know,
I think everybody kind of knows the way this plays

(01:20:18):
out when people write ransom notes. But when you read this,
whoever wrote it, you know, if it's real, it's serious.

Speaker 25 (01:20:27):
The five pm deadline? Do you know if that was
Tucson tan.

Speaker 26 (01:20:32):
I have reason to believe it's Tucson time.

Speaker 11 (01:20:34):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
So, And he's right about the ransom side of stuff,
because originally I thought two idiots or somebody. Something happened,
They panicked, they grabbed her, maybe she fell, They didn't
know what to do. And then when you know, you
get to that point where you've you've kidnapped somebody, that's
the desperation zone, right, there's a no go, no going back,

(01:20:58):
there is a no going back at all from that.
You're not getting off of the slap on the wrist.
And then what happens, well you become more and more
and more and more and more and more desperate, which
is you know, the fear of Yeah, because desperate men
with nothing to lose are the most dangerous animals on

(01:21:20):
the planet, No doubt about that, No doubt about that.
So then you got to start thinking, how do you
know if she's even alive?

Speaker 27 (01:21:33):
You have to know if they're if they're alive, you
have to know if they have them and today the
problem is AI generated filming.

Speaker 11 (01:21:41):
It's hard to tell.

Speaker 27 (01:21:42):
So if they do get some proof of life, that's
going to then be turned over most likely to the FBI,
where they'll do the technical voodoo they do on it
and they'll identify whether it's AI generated or if it
is actually a real proof of life.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
Yeah, I forgot about the AI stuff as well. Oh
that's you know, all of it's new, and it's scary,
and it is. It's a bizarre story of you know,
when you start thinking about they start maybe disconnecting cameras
and this, that and the other, that this place was
being cased, and that chances are maybe somebody knows, maybe

(01:22:21):
somebody close to the family, let me know. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at chave been the
show as your excentensta. What do you think, speaking of thinking,
I brought it up at the beginning of the show,
and I figure we should talk about it because it's
it's the chaos that's going on out there, you know,

(01:22:41):
between Epstein, between all of this stuff and lunacy today, well,
you know, Trump and his truthspree. Overnight posted something that
is abhorrent. I don't know what else to say.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
I really don't know what to say about this, just
the facts.

Speaker 28 (01:23:02):
Donald Trump posted or reposted on his social media platform
overnight a video clip of Brock and Michelle Obama as apes.
I'm not going to show the video here, but trust me,
it's still there on his social media feed. One of
sixty things he posted.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Overnight, which is, you know what a normal person does?
And what do you think those were about? Well, those
were about election fraud, because he's still you know, he's
telling everybody get over the Epstein stuff that's in the past.
By the way, election fraud, you know, and you're just like, okay.

Speaker 25 (01:23:38):
But.

Speaker 2 (01:23:40):
It's the old thing, right is if you're explaining you're losing,
and you know, automatically the spin comes today, and the
spin is, you know, do I think that Trump watched
it all the way through? I don't know, because it
was put out by somebody who again election fraud in

(01:24:00):
the whole nine yards from Kentucky, Republican who was denounced
by the Republican Party in Kentucky, among other things. And
then Caroline Levitt comes out today she's like, oh, get
over it. It was just showing that Trump's the king
of the jungle and and you're like, Okay, see, if
you're explaining, you're losing. If you're trying to spin your losing,

(01:24:24):
it's like telling the bad joke. That's not bad because
it's naughty or dirty. It's bad because it's stupid and
nobody understands it and it's not funny. And you're trying
to continue to explain it to people, and no matter
how many times you explained it, it keeps getting well
worse and worse. Rather than just go Trump didn't watch it.
He posts a lot of things. He you know how

(01:24:46):
he is. He since taking it down and you move on,
but he'll double down. Three two, three, five, twenty four
to twenty three. Atch she had Benson show X Insta
all the other good stuff out there. Let me know
what you think about that among other things. But he
Kennedy for the Kennedy Instant of Public Polished Research. You're
going to join the program at the bottom of the hour,
talk about that white paper from Cato about immigration, among

(01:25:09):
other things. Get his take on the Epstein stuff as well.

Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. You know we're doing
midday Mondays. He joins us every Friday, talk about all
the other stuff politically, including yesterday's Cato white paper about immigration.
We'll talk to him about that and the Epstein files
and a bunch of other things. Straight to hatchat the

(01:31:00):
job fun.

Speaker 18 (01:31:01):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
That's it's that time of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
Talk to our good buddy, Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute of
Public Policy Research. Obviously we talked to Mondays now on
midterm Mondays, but this is just general politics. We talk
here today and Jim, yesterday, I did the Cato Institute
in their new ninety two page, you know, white paper
about immigration and the net positive of it, and I

(01:31:47):
broke it down in a bunch of other ways. And
you've got kind of a take as well on this
because immigration's obviously a big issue and Cato's trying to
roll out saying guys, guys, everything's good.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Yeah, especially well.

Speaker 30 (01:32:00):
I mean remember again they're only couching it from this
situation of they reduce deficits and that's all they're looking
at it from. And there's a lot more I mean,
we can break this out in a lot of ways.
There's a lot more ways to break this out. First
of all, you need to break it down between legal
and illegal immigration. Legal immigration, love it great, That's what
America is come in. Do it the right way, get

(01:32:21):
all the I dotted and t's crossed, They also tend
to be more stable economically, they're self sustaining. If you're
not able to support yourself, you're not going to really
be able to come in In most cases as a
as a legal immigrant, you can maybe get asylum. But
that's part of the problem we've had with all the
illegals is a lot of them were asylum secret because
they were given the proper phrases to say, and they

(01:32:42):
sent them at the border. Therefore they got and I'm
putting this in the air quotes asylum. Then they don't
show up for their hearings, and then now they're just
somewhere throughout the country. We don't know where they are,
and now they're illegal aliens because they've basically overstayed their
asylum welcomes and didn't follow through the process like the
legal immigrants did. So here's some of the things on
the illegal side is why this is a problem that

(01:33:02):
doesn't have anything to do with deficits. Okay, if you're
an illegal alien, you don't have the ability to go
to work permit. So therefore the only way you can
work is one of three things. You get a tax
payer ID number, and unfortunately we give those out to
illegal aliens on a nationwide basis. That's the US federal
government ID do the same thing as a Social Security
number that you're identified by, and it's not a security number,

(01:33:23):
but it's a taxinger identification number. Or you steal an ID,
you get ID theft, and that's what a large percentage
of illegals do to work. The third one is is
they work with what we used to be called under
the table, mean they get paid cash and they don't
get reported.

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
They're off the books type of thing.

Speaker 30 (01:33:38):
Okay, stolen IDs basically, you know, you're you're talking about
two million people out there that have Social Security numbers
that reported income but doesn't match the name on the
Social Security number.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
So basically there's at least two million.

Speaker 30 (01:33:52):
Of them out there that they've got stolen IDs where
they basically report it. Now, okay, fine, what they're not
going out there and buying homes in their name or
opening credit cards usually, But the problem is you're talking
about six hundred one thousand dollars to get this fixed.
When the IRS calls you up and says, oh, mister Jones,
you have twelve thousand dollars more in income this year

(01:34:14):
than you reported, or thirty six thousand over the last
three years. It's like I didn't do it. Well, you
didn't work at Fred's Tacostan last year. No, I don't
work in Fred's Tacostan. I work in marketing. And therefore,
now you've got to go back and convince the irs
it is not you. And you've also then got to
clean this up to get the people off of your account.
You're talking, like I said, six hundred one thousand dollars

(01:34:35):
plus two hundred hours of your personal time.

Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
To resolve this. This has nothing to do with what
it costs the federal government. Okay.

Speaker 30 (01:34:41):
Again, you've got to deal with all of the legal
officials and all of the legal agencies that try to
convince them that this is not you, and that the
state tax board is you know, you're not responsible for
that additional income. Okay, So now you're talking about working
about an under the table. Now remember when you know,
basically you're talking about a lot of different industry share farming,
of course, farm workers. Remember sees Oarshavz, the big guy

(01:35:04):
that put together the farm workers union in the sixties
in California, A great leader.

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
To a lot of Hispanics. He hated illegal immigration.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
Well, he was the one who coined the phrase we
back yes.

Speaker 30 (01:35:14):
Yes, because here there were ones that would basically cut
into his legal better paid farm workers and would do
it for a lower amount of money. And that's what
about forty five percent of farming right now in nationwide
because is probably illegal alien paid under the table construction work, Chad,
You remember when you when when you're in high school
as a kid, if you didn't go to college, go

(01:35:36):
in the military, maybe dropped out, what would what did
a lot of didn't have a family business.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
What did a lot of these kids do?

Speaker 27 (01:35:43):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
Construction? Construction?

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
Construction? You got it?

Speaker 30 (01:35:46):
I know, lots of guys. I mean, that's how Adam
Carolla talk about him. That's how he started out, was
working construction. It was a great job. I had a
cousin who put him to throw through college in Arizona
working construction because you could. They would work four am
to noon or one o'clock in Arizona because of the
heat during the summer. You know, I have audience there.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
And he would go to school afternoons and evenings.

Speaker 30 (01:36:07):
He got to put himself through ASU that way and
got an engineering degree out of it. So that job
is gone for teenage kids now that doesn't exist, and
then home healthcare is another one too. So basically what
that does is that drives down wages for everybody in
those industries. By if you're going to work under the
table for ten dollars an hour and the minimum wage's
fifteen dollars an hour, well, why would I want to

(01:36:27):
pay somebody illegal wage at fifteen if I can get
someone to come in here for ten dollars an hour.
So yeah, I mean, it doesn't affect the deaf set,
but there's loads and loads of add on effects that
they don't calculate into this.

Speaker 3 (01:36:40):
And there's also something interesting too.

Speaker 30 (01:36:42):
There's another study that I pulled up that has been
done twenty years ago by the Center for Immigration Studies,
and they basically just flip this over and again. It's
illegal immigration in the federal budget, and they claim that
the average illegal costs the average taxpayer twenty seven hundred
dollars in additional costs for medicare, for schools, for free lunches,

(01:37:02):
for a federal president court system, and for what small assistance.

Speaker 3 (01:37:08):
They can get.

Speaker 30 (01:37:09):
And also don't forget illegal aliens on sanctuary, which I
guess technically doesn't make them illegal. They get lots of
welfare that others aren't entitled to. So if you're on
like I said, if you're on asylum, you know status here,
and you don't show up, you can still get a
decent amount of welfare for people that are technically like
just come across the border illegally can't get and that's

(01:37:31):
additional cost to the government. So again they don't I mean,
their numbers may add up, but they're not looking at
the additional costs that affect the public versus what it
just is at a deficit. And yes, we do need
to reduce a deficit, but I don't think we should
be keeping, if their numbers even add up, illegal aliens
in the country just to for that we can reduce
the deficit. Doesn't really seem to be very fair, to

(01:37:52):
be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:37:53):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
all right, Jim, we switch from that to the economy
feels a little unstable, stock market feels kind of chaotic
and crazy right now. That's the one thing Trump has
really been rocking on. I don't know, I think there's
just some nervousness out there. If the market goes a

(01:38:13):
little sideways, he's in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 30 (01:38:15):
Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean again, everything turns out to
be a wallet issue for most people when it comes
when it comes out, when it's time to vote, they
think about how am I doing?

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
And yeah, the dumber's only good.

Speaker 30 (01:38:25):
Again, one of the things that we still got to
get through is we've got to get through the Supreme
Court ruling on the arrat. That's going to make a
big difference. If Trump wins, that's going to drive prices up.
If Trump loses, all the terroffts come off, and they're
gonna have to either go through the congres which will
take time, or you're just gonna have to give up
on that. And also, we have to look at what's
gonna happen. All the money they've collected from the terrafts.

(01:38:46):
How is that going to get put back and given
back to AE either the companies they've taken it from
or the taxpayers they've taken it from. That's gonna be
a little harder to calculate. That goes back to I
think the best and what he's been talking about is
two thousand dollars or rebate to everybody, which of course
we can't afford anyway. We need to keep the money
introduce the deficit. But yeah, no, it's a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:39:08):
Now. The Fed wasn't that concern.

Speaker 30 (01:39:09):
They didn't cut interest rates this time around, and they
were kind of ambivalent about cutting rates at the next
couple of meetings. So they're seeing something that's a little
bit stronger than maybe some of the numbers are are
putting out there. And also on the economy, we're seeing
large companies cut employees.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
But remember most people.

Speaker 30 (01:39:27):
Get but I don't know, it's eighty five percent or
so of new jobs generally come out of.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
Companies under a thousand employees.

Speaker 30 (01:39:36):
Most of the growth, and that's been that way for
at least twenty five years, is in smaller companies. The
net numbers, of the net employment numbers for most Fortune
five hundred and Fortune one thousand companies have been stable
or some cases have gone down over the last twenty years.
So you're looking at for people that are in smaller
businesses and not the amazons, not the ones that have

(01:39:58):
been cutting this week, So you're looking at different ones.
But sure, it's not good to see five thousand seven,
fourteen thousand people out on the street. Now, hopefully a
lot of these will get jobs quickly in smaller companies
and then we'll basically get back into the workforce.

Speaker 3 (01:40:11):
But yeah, it's something to be concerned with.

Speaker 30 (01:40:13):
But I still think we've got some more cards to
get played before we're really going to see how bad
this may get or whether it may kind of stabilize up.

Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy and'st to Public Policy Research.
All right, the Epstein stuff, watching them spin has been
hilarious everybody. And I saw Bill Maher today, I said
he said something that made me laugh, So already says, hey,
out of curiosity, how do you apologize to QAnon and
the people that are trying to defend this. It makes

(01:40:43):
me laugh because we all see what's in these things.
We all understand that there's lunacy, and some of it
may just be inside jokes to one another, but there
is nothing but evil and debauchery and disgusting in this.
And this is the stuff they showed us. The other
three million pages. God only know what's on there. And

(01:41:05):
the fact that nothing is going to be to happen
to anybody. I find this to be in my lifeteam time, Jim.
I've never seen anything that I've been more embarrassed about
as a person who you know, loves my country, loves politics,
thinks that we as a nation have this beacon of light,

(01:41:25):
and I've never seen anything as disgusting and vile as this.

Speaker 30 (01:41:29):
Yeah, unfortunately, Yeah, I think you're you know, I think
that's the way that it's looking. I don't see any grounds,
well from anybody who's looking to go after any of
these people and try to bring them up in charges
other than the left wants Trump's scalp, but they've wanted
his scalp for the last ten years, so that's nothing new.

Speaker 3 (01:41:47):
They kind have said that.

Speaker 30 (01:41:49):
I don't know what they what could have been in
the Epstein files that would have made them not want
Trump's scalp. And again, he's got some things in there
that have some questions that need to be tied to.
And his answer to uh to the other day was
not the best answer. We're going after the reporter, so
that wasn't that's not gonna help. But again that's unfortunately
Trump being Trump. You you said something that really made

(01:42:11):
me think the other day about this It's like nobody's
other than Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew's by far gotten the
worst of this whole deal, other than of course Epstein.

Speaker 3 (01:42:19):
But they created the problem in LA.

Speaker 30 (01:42:22):
Now we've got a problem with Kathy Waltherstein, who is
in the It was in there, and his only in
there was because he and Maxwell were having a I
don't know what it was, back and forth of you know,
racy emails and stuff. There's no you know, there is
no inkling that he did anything wrong, he knew anything

(01:42:42):
about this othern he kept flirting with with with Maxwell.
So they, the liberals in l A want his want
his hide because he's back Trump before and therefore that
makes you a center amongst all centers, and in California
for dare you not speak evil of Trump? But yeah, yeah,
But the point you made was nobody is going to

(01:43:03):
go to jail for this other than the two that
actually did it. There's there's hundreds of people or maybe
even thousands of people in there that probably have done
stuff wrong that would be a violation of federal or
state or local laws. And there is just no inkling
that anybody is going to go after anybody. And that
really is a sad statement. You know, you want to
think that there isn't a two tier justice system. Yeah,

(01:43:25):
there kind of is, because nobody seems to be who's
rich and powerful is going to pay for any of this,
and the victims are just going to be the victims
and they're not going to get their justice, They're not
going to get their days at court, and they're not
going to get you know, what they deserve.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
So yeah, it.

Speaker 30 (01:43:38):
Really is kind of a sad state of where we
are in America right now. And it really, you know,
it bothers me, but I don't really know what you're
going to what could be done to to rectify it,
because I don't see anybody who has the will or the.

Speaker 3 (01:43:50):
Interest in actually trying to trying to do the right
thing on this one.

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):

Over the burning working time.

Speaker 7 (01:46:47):
Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ice out.

Speaker 12 (01:46:53):
There was a moment in my life that all I
had was a bible this big in, a radio the
same size, and a six by.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Eight foot sale.

Speaker 12 (01:46:59):
And I believe that those two things could change my life.

Speaker 9 (01:47:02):
If it's fine in that time, I'm freeing here, I've
gone my motor running bow in again.

Speaker 11 (01:47:09):
It's fine that fire.

Speaker 2 (01:47:11):
I'm out of the drum working working time.

Speaker 13 (01:47:17):
You know, she's a young woman. I don't think i've
ever seen you smile. I've known you for ten years.
I don't think i've ever seen a smart.

Speaker 14 (01:47:24):
And again I'm able to take my own sadness and
look at those young girls and say, my god, how
did that happen to those girls?

Speaker 11 (01:47:31):
We have nothing to hide, Mandi.

Speaker 9 (01:47:34):
I'll be hurting in my head and my eyes jensy Imy.

If it comes down to me taking out myself and
my kids versus us being taken and harmed.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
By ice, God help me.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
I did not want to do it.

huge Patriots fan because I grew up in Los Angeles.
But you know, as a kid, the Rams broke my
heart left went to Saint Louis, so, you know, mid eighties,
I'm like, ah, I picked the Patriots, but I can't
go with my heart. I gotta go with reality, and

(01:49:19):
reality says Patriots are gonna play tough. But that defense
the Seahawks have, that entire just momentum I think they have,
and the fact that I think, you know, the way
they beat the Rams. I just think there's no better
team right now. I'm gonna go Seahawks win thirty eight
to fourteen. You know, your super Bowl champs. You guys,
have a blest and amazing rest of your day and weekend.

(01:49:41):
We'll do it again on Monday as always.
