Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's all happening, kids, Right, I go away a couple
of days and stuff happens. When does it not happen?
This used to be one of those things where you'd
be gone for a few days. This time of year,
nothing happens. Not anymore. The reality is simply this. It
happens every single day. It has NonStop. Is twenty four
to seven. It's in front of us. And that includes

(00:33):
the fact that Congress is back today, so you know,
Epstein's on the plate. Right, that's happening. We talk a
little bit more about that a little bit. We have
tariffs on again, off again and according to a court
and off again kind of sort of, which makes everything confusing.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
We have a variety of indices ways of measuring the
amount of uncertainty out there, and in fact, a couple
of months ago President Trump had driven macro. We can
only come certainty up to an all time high. The
previous high, by the way, was held by the global pandemic.
So it's really quite a thing if you remember the
pervasive uncertainty, the fear, the sense that we didn't know

(01:11):
what was going to happen next, that all of us
were feeling in March twenty twenty when it comes to
the economic part of things, uncertainly got even higher than that.
Now it's become even more uncertain. Subsequently, we don't know
if the FED will continue to be independent, whether the
government will continue to collect economic statistics and report them. Honestly,
we don't know whether today is tariffs are going to

(01:33):
be on again tomorrow. And it's not just the courts here.
The President changes his mind almost every day. We've gotten
to the point though that the only certainty is continued uncertainty.
So at least now businesses know what they're at. And
I'm starting to come to the conclusion this isn't just
a few months of madness. This is the first six
months in what I think is going to be a

(01:53):
four year play.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Which is crazy. It's chaos. You can't plan for the
future if you have no idea what you're planning for
when it comes to tariffs and stuff like that, which
makes it uneasy for us. And I know that Trump
wants to, you know, go hog wild when it comes
to the FED and kind of take it over, even

(02:17):
though not really taking over it, kind of taking it
over but not really but kind of sort of. I mean,
he I don't know what's going to happen. I couldn't
tell you. I couldn't tell you what the courts are
going to say. I couldn't tell you what he's going
to do. But because before the courts could even get involved,
he may take him on and he may take him off,
which is why all of this is going on. China's
standing there with a smile on the face, going, oh yeah, yeah,

(02:39):
you know, we're here, and we're all here together in
many crazy ways, showing the strength that we have as
that stable partner, that good partner that's always there for you.
We'll buy whatever it is that we need to to

(03:00):
show you that we can be a great partner.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
The leaders of China, India and Russia hand in hand,
shoulders to shoulder, all smiles, laughter, and a clear message
to President Trunk. The warm words are an effort to
show a stable and alternative world order.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Alternative. So China wants to give you the alternative look
to what it is from the Belton Road Initiative to
bringing together during this next few days, the access of
a holes times ten right, North Korea, Iran. When you

(03:39):
start looking and you're like so China is going to
be there, Mody now and this is the big deal. Modi,
who is the leader of India, the largest country on
the planet, hanging out with g the leader of the
second largest country on the planet. They're not pals. Weren't
talk to our buddy Mike Lyons coming up a little bit.

(04:00):
But I'll tell you this right now. This is a
place where my buddy Ken and I always choke about.
You can go online and see the fact that they
skirmish over the lines all the time. India China, they
have fistfights. It's crazy bringing them all together.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
The mood music was love, friendship, happiness, partnership and all
things positive and all things not European and American.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh it's not just us European and American. There's more
to it. And you've got to start thinking about too. Russia, Russia, Russia,
because the whole thing with Ukraine, it isn't going anywhere,
it's not stopping. They're going to continue to go at
it on a daily basis. They are losing thousands of
people and they don't care. They want to win. And

(04:49):
the pooter is going to push this thing as far
as possible and he looks around now and he's got
Mody on one side, he's got g on the other.
Here comes a little fat guy with the rock right
old Kim Jong Un. He's got Iran over here. And
then a mixture of other countries coming together and they're

(05:10):
not going to give in to the US.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Moody holding hands with shi Jingping and with Vladimir putin
arms around each other, smiles and laughs. This was a
show of force or tourder force, if you like, orchestrated
by shi Jingping to try and present a different world order,
a world order where America no longer has domination, the

(05:34):
end of American hegemony.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's possibility, it is, It is a possibility that that
could happen. Do I think it will not anytime soon?
And we're going to ask again, Michael Liones, our military
hands coming on a little bit, what do you make
of it? I think you'll probably have the same take idea,
which is, at some point in time, if something was
to go down India, choice would be probably us, probably,

(06:04):
I say, you don't know, but we kind of sided
with the Pakistanis, so that didn't make them feel good.
And it's just there is all kinds of ramifications about this,
and the new world order is coming together. It's almost
like a new Cold War where it's not instead of frozen.
Though it's kind of this odd, you know, lukewarm war.

(06:27):
People are choosing their sides. But because we're so intertwined
when it comes to the economy, that's a tough thing
to just go. We're done, so we're going to see
from there. We moved to Trump and his health, and
this is over the weekend. I stayed as far away

(06:48):
from the news as possible, maybe once in a great
while looking at it. I watched college football day Saturday.
We went to church. We had a good time and
just enjoyed our time together and wants a little college football.
Last night, Bill Belichick got absolutely boat raced. But I
did I look here and there at some stuff and
this whole thought of Trump is dead, which is not true.

(07:12):
But he does have a big announcement today. I guess
at the Oval Office. We'll see what that's about. And
I've heard everything from me he's resigning to he's gonna
tell the world this or he's gonna I don't know
what it is, and I don't pretend to know what
it is because with Trump, you can't. But there's a
health speculation. And last night my buddy and yours Jim

(07:35):
Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research on Sundays, and well,
last night Monday, going into the week, we're going to
do a kind of once over, like thirty minutes to
an hour of what we think is going to happen
this week, what to look for. And this was a
decent part of our conversation last night about this. And
my thought is, he's almost eighty. Okay, he's all most eighty.

(08:02):
I'm not saying he's sick, and I'm not saying he's dying.
But if it was to happen, would I be shocked? No? Why,
he's almost eighty The average American male born in his era,
living you know, into today's modern world seventy six. ISSU.

(08:24):
So I don't wish him any ill will. I want
him to survive. I want him to be healthy. But
would he even bring this up with people? They? Oh
my god, Oh my god. No, I mean there's questions
to be happy. He's almost eighty. I expect him to
slow down. And yes, there's speculations. I've seen his ankles, right,

(08:44):
that's an issue with your heart. I've seen you know,
he's got bruises on his hands. There are certain things.
Was he had a stroke? Has he answered? I don't know?
But would I be surprised? No? Could I make this
wacky prediction about what I think is going to happen.
There's a possibility I could make it one in a
little while, you don't know, maybe next hour. Probably want

(09:07):
to make sure you listen to that.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
I'd have to ask you because I've heard from way
too many Democratic friends over the weekend about what the
president was doing all weekend, and I think he's spent
a part of the laborty week in golfing at his
golf club in Virginia. But there's also like the social
media burst of like is he healthy, what's actually happened?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
What color is his hat? What's going on here?

Speaker 6 (09:29):
I don't know. I think everyone would like to know.
I think that it's really dis concerned that the president
has been very vocal with press all the time. I
think in August he spent twenty six days doing public
events or talking to press. So they go down for
six days and just have a slew of true social
posts that are very chaotic and people can't follow all
of them. It's very concerning, and I think that people
it raises questions. The president could just be taking a

(09:50):
few days down in August, which is normal for presidents
to do, or there could be actually something wrong. The
problem is we don't know, and they're not being transparent
about it.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
But you guys lose the opportunit unity MS NOW or
whatever it's called CNN, anybody else to talk about or
speculate about the president's health knowing full well what was
going on in the last White House and administration, and
you did absolutely nothing about it, many of you knowing
full well there were certain things that weren't right, and

(10:18):
yet you did nothing. So speculation here coming from you.
Nobody's going to care about except for the people that are,
you know, just they need to see the demise of
the president. So do I know what it is? No?
Do I think he's sick and dying? I don't. Has
he slowed down? You'd be lying to think that he hasn't,

(10:41):
because that is just human nature. And he has defied
a lot. When it comes to the way that he eats,
the way that he you know, goes twenty four to seven.
He has defied a lot of people that, but it
is the stressful job of stressful jobs. When you look
up stressful job, there's plenty of them. Then you get

(11:02):
to this job and it's on a whole nother level.
There is no doubt about that. So we'll find out

three at Chad Benson Show. Is your acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,

the Chad Benson Show. Chad Benson, Immigration Nation, All right

(13:17):
up next Chicago.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
The Trump administration plans to ramp up immigration enforcement in Chicago.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signing an executive order saying Chicago
police will not work with federal agents on civil immigration enforcement.

Speaker 8 (13:30):
We will not have our police officers who are working
hard every single day to drive down crime dot deputize
to do traffic stops and checkpoints for the president.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
Mayor Johnson is also calling on federal agents to be
in uniforms and not wear a mask.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
It well, good luck with that one, Mayor john By
the way, he is an idiot. Can we just take
away the immigration thing. He's an idiot. You see him
last week trying to not answer a question for five
minutes with Morning Joe. I mean, it's mourning Joe. This
isn't this isn't Menza, and Mourning Joe was dancing around him.
He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, There's no

(14:09):
doubt about that. And immigration is a big deal. And
by the way, look at the numbers. We are down
one point two million workers in the workforce because of
the immigration crackdown, where people have just either been caught
up in this or they've left on their own, so
they've left the workforce. I don't know if those jobs

(14:30):
are being taken up or if they're just eliminating those
jobs at this point in time that I couldn't tell you.
Keeping with immigration, you've got an issue going on with
Guatemalan children and a judge who's looking around going I'm
not sure I buy everything you guys are selling me.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
Federal government Ephrin Olivarz represents the children and says the
government rushed them out of shelters in the middle of
the night. There are children that were taken out of
the shelters and onto those planes who did not want
to go back. The Trump administration says they're acting on
Guatemala's request unite the children with their parents. During an
emergency court hearing, a federal judge sounding skeptical, saying there

(15:06):
are conflicting narratives from both sides, leaving it unclear if
the children could be harmed if they returned to Guatemala.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I don't know why they would be harmed if they
returned to Guatemala. I don't know how many of them
are here with a parent or not a parent. I
couldn't tell you any of those things. That's the questions
being asked by a lot of people.

Speaker 9 (15:25):
Many of them orphans who don't even have a custodian
waiting for them back in Guatemala.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Which is an odd thing. So they just came here
on their own. That was their like, Ech, you know what,
mom and dadneymore, I'm gonna cruise over here, find out
what's going on over here three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Menson Shows, your
Extra Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Let us know what
you think about this right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
Several, if not the overwhelming majority, of these children are
in the United States unaccompanied, many of them because they
either do not have a custodian back in Guatemala or
someone who's not able to care for them.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Just such a bizarre situation. I mean, we won't even
let our kids go across the street. And again, we're
ridiculously blessed to live in this country where we don't
have to worry about sending our children unaccompanied or our
grandchildren or our little sisters or brothers or nieces and
nephews on a perilous journey to America. We don't have to,

(16:29):
and we're blessed for that. So and the whole battle
with immigration, this isn't going to change. Look at this
is Trump ran on this and it was easy to
run on based on what the last guy did, which
was nothing. The last guy did nothing. He welcomed people
here with open arms. He did nothing. And because of that,

(16:52):
along with a few other things like the economy, unsettledness
in the world, and the fact that he didn't know
where he was. Uh, you got Trump part de and
part deh. Immigration, big deal and it's not going to change,
not anytime soon. I think you guys recognize that. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three At Chad Benson Show,

(17:13):
it's your acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Make
sure you hit us up across all of our social media.
We love it when you do that. Coming up, our
buddy Mike Clients, Military Analyt's going to join the program.
We're going to talk about the coming together of g
and Mody of India as well as Vladimir Putin. What
does that mean for America as well as what's going

(17:34):
on in Gaza. A bunch of other stuff to get
to as well. Mike Lentz Straight Ahead, Chad Benson Show,
wo Son, Chad Benson, Joe, The Chad Benson Show, My

(18:04):
favorite times a week sit down talk with the best
damn military analysts in the business. Retired major in the
Army and the military analysts that I think nobody does
a better job because you get what it's all about
out there. Let's first and foremost start with the picture.
You got Mody, you got g You've got the pooter,
They're all together. That's a picture that the world is going, Oh,

(18:29):
that's that's that's uncomfortable to see those kind of powers
somewhat friendly with each other.

Speaker 10 (18:35):
Each I'm looking at this saying this is more symbolic
than strategic. I you know, you look at that on
the surface, and you know India is likely the wild
card here on some level. But but I just don't
see it. I you know, I don't see this as
an alliance of any stature. The India as a country

(18:56):
unfortunately hasn't been able to move forward in the twenty
fourth century at all. With a billion people. They still have,
you know, tremendous advantage. They have nuclear weapons and the like.
But I just don't see it. I just think that
this United Front looks great, you know, against Western influence
of anything that's going to cause the West to get
more united. But from a military perspective, we see that

(19:20):
Russia doesn't have any capability anymore. It's all China and
this is all about g and I think this is
more show than Dell.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Frankly, let's talk about Russia. How much ground have they
really made up? Because you go and look at the
bloggers out there, and they've grabbed a whole bunch of ground.
You got a bunch of people out there, and the
Ukrainian side said they haven't grabbed as much as people think.
But there's no doubt that they have made a move
here that has been pretty substantial and compared to what

(19:50):
they could have Ukraine could have walked away with what
eighteen months ago.

Speaker 10 (19:55):
This is not a win, no, and the the space
that they've gained inside of Ukraine still wouldn't even occupy
the geographical oh blosts, the areas that let's say were
there before this conflict took place.

Speaker 11 (20:12):
Russia wants more of that.

Speaker 10 (20:13):
But really the sneaky news though, I think, is that
Ukraine gets up every day and goes after Russia oil
and goes after their infrastructure and with their drone capability,
it's just been incredible and there's not a day that
doesn't go by.

Speaker 11 (20:28):
Now we don't.

Speaker 10 (20:29):
Turn on the TV and see oil refineries on fire,
we don't see the fact that the Ukraine has got
another deep strike going there. So while Russia might be
making some tactical gains inch by inch on the ground,
as they lose seven thousand troops a day in some cases,
which is again it's just insane. Ukraine still has this

(20:49):
capability to go strategic and get go after strategic assets.

Speaker 11 (20:53):
And we still haven't.

Speaker 10 (20:55):
Tipping point yet from Putin's perspective, but they're making real
progress there.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I talk about the fact that they're losing seven thousand
in some cases a day in you know, men and
women or whoever's fighting up there at this point in time,
talk like give a historical figure so people can understand
that that is a number that is mind boggling.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
Yeah, Chad, that's World War two type casualties, and that's
because of the scale of the military that was fighting
at that time. And that's what is so you know,
crazy about this is that's really not that many soldiers
that are there. And what I mean by that is,
you know, in World War Two you had millions of
soldiers deployed all over the battlefield. The United States, for example,

(21:38):
had them everywhere in the Pacific and in Europe, and
we still didn't even take this level of casualties on
a daily rate. But between the Russian military and the
German military and on all the things that were going.
But what I don't know how he does it. What
I mean by that is when you're on the ground
in a foxhol you know, reality is with you every

(21:59):
day about you know, it's your instinct not to want
to get killed, that's your instinct. You want to survive
as human instinct. I don't care what language you speak
and what country you're from. And he just must separate
these troops where they don't talk to each other and
they're not seeing the results that they're not getting on
the ground. He's brought in North Korean troops that are

(22:20):
basically told if they don't do this, they're going to
die anyway, their families will be killed back in North Korea.
So it's been an incredible separation of all these individuals
not being able to talk, and the fact that that
word hasn't even gotten back to Russia because they keep
they keep finding the troops and they keep sending them there.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Talking to Mike Lions military analysts, we talk about all
things military as the battles continue. What is our next play?
What's Europe's next play? I saw that, you know, he's
out there saying, well, the expansion of NATO. This there's
got to be some sort of conversation about this, but
he helped expand it with Sweden and Finland. I mean,
you know that wasn't us. What is our next move?

(23:01):
Whether it's US or Europe or can anybody do anything?
Is this still his game?

Speaker 10 (23:05):
Well, you're seeing the European leaders now trying to draft
some plans in order to deploy troops to this post
war Ukraine scenario. European leaders are willing to do that
at this point, and they want to make sure that
they're tied to security guarantees and the like. So if
there's actual a peace agreement, European countries England and France

(23:26):
in particular, possibly Germany, will well, we'll send troops and
have them on the ground. The United States will provide
air cover and intel, so we won't have troops close
to the border or at any kind of risk. I
did see the German chancellors. They'll say coming over the
weekend that he thinks this war is going to still
last for a couple of years. So he's not very
optimistic that there's going to be any kind of peace

(23:49):
plan anytime soon. So I guess to kind of net
it out, you won't see direct US troop coop commitments
on the ground, and it'll continue to be EU and
NATO partners supporting that should should that come to be.
Military aid continues. The United States continues to provide aid

(24:10):
to Ukraine as they you know, continue to get up
every day and like I said before, go after their infrastructure.
That's the weak point that Russia has right now.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
When you you know, we're talking about military ad the
other day. The fact is, is this going to be
like Biden where we give them stuff and tell them
we can't use it. We give them stuff and say
well you can only fire it to hear or we
tell them you can't have it today, but maybe next week.
And then we say, okay, you can have it, but
we don't because that's the other side of it is
I feel like we're holding them somewhat back because we

(24:41):
don't want this thing to escalate. But they're fighting for
their lives. I'm reading they've got pregnant women now taking
up arms because they don't have anybody left Ukraine. You know,
you said they had forty fifty sixty year olds out there.

Speaker 10 (24:53):
Yeah, they've significantly lost a great portion of their population
early on left you know, a couple of years ago.

Speaker 11 (25:00):
They're not coming back.

Speaker 10 (25:01):
They have a disadvantage of four to one disadvantage overall population,
especially when it comes to the fighting force and the
age of a military here.

Speaker 11 (25:10):
So that's their.

Speaker 10 (25:11):
Weak link in the fact that they could run out
of people. You're seeing the technology, though, become this combat
multiplier and you know, every conflict in the past, let's
say since since the end of the Second World War
where technology factors in. In this case, technology has really
allowed Ukraine to use it as a combat multiplier and

(25:33):
not be hamstrung by that lack of personnel, especially when
it comes to the defense. So I think I think
that that they'll get they can hang out for a while.

Speaker 11 (25:43):
Now.

Speaker 10 (25:43):
What the US will do, I'm pretty sure they'll they'll
let the gloves come off and not necessarily restrict them
with one exception. I think that will remain military targets.
I mean, that's the difference between Western civilization and Russia
and everybody else is you know, Russia goes after civilian
apartment buildings that they have no care in the.

Speaker 11 (26:05):
World for who they target.

Speaker 10 (26:06):
I think that the United States will insist that at
least Ukraine hits military targets.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Talking to Mike Lines, we talk about all things globally
in the unrest. What's China thinking at this moment of time.
We touch on it every week because I still think
they're the sleeping giant when it comes to all of this,
I feel like they're I kind of feel like they're
still waiting around to say, Okay, when is our moment
to make some sort of move.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
Well.

Speaker 10 (26:28):
I think this is this summit that they're putting together.
They're coming out to here with with some kind of
new world order. You know, this is a clear bright
line East versus West situation. I think it's almost like
Cold War version two. You'd have to be you know,
if you're in a country to align yourselves with China,
Russia in India.

Speaker 11 (26:50):
I get it. That's four billion people.

Speaker 10 (26:51):
That's a lot of bullets if we had to, you know,
manufacture to go to war with them.

Speaker 11 (26:55):
But I just don't understand. They don't.

Speaker 10 (26:58):
They don't have the economic wherewithal, they don't, they don't culturally,
none of those countries get along. I mean, Western countries
still are grounded in somewhat of the same value sets,
and I think that's that's still important, that that ties
armies together, it ties countries together. You know, we can
argue what's going on in the UK right now with
their freedom of speech. Maybe that's not where ours is.

(27:22):
But but there's still this fundamental thread of continuity that
exists in Western nations. This is what they're doing here
between North Korea, Iran, Russia, China. It's truly an access
of evil. I mean to bring back around od Reagan.
So I in China is trying to lead the whole thing.
But in the same token, they're going to let these

(27:42):
other countries be be first. You know, if there's something
does happen, Look what's happening to the Russian military India,
Well then if something does happen, India will back right
out of US.

Speaker 11 (27:51):
India.

Speaker 10 (27:52):
Is that no intention of aligning theseelves military with anybody
that they're not a military power in any matter.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Plus, they're not huge fans. I try to explain this
be well, if you will go online, you could watch
India and China on the border fight almost every day.
Sometimes it's just fisz fights. They're not pals with one.

Speaker 10 (28:08):
Another, Yeah, long standing border disputes. They're competitive. You know,
they both have a billion people. I mean this is
you know, you're just not going to have them get
together and have a photo op and think that, Okay,
here we go, this is going to be fine. It's
just mostly symbolic. I don't really see it. I'm concerned obviously,
and the fact that we could have maybe had a

(28:31):
better overture towards India. You know, look what we've done
to Pakistan to kind of make that conflict because that's
just a corrupt the country that's not obviously not the
same size as India. But this administration sided first with
Pakistan a discipline.

Speaker 12 (28:44):
But India I will be back. I don't see them changing.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
We move from there to the Middle East, they're now
calling it a genocide. This is not a win publicly.
BB doesn't seem to care. Schmodrick and all of these guys,
they don't seem to care. They're going to go in
and do this. They've gone into the West Bank as well,
which I think a lot of people are going, well,
hold on a second, I'm assen in the West Bank,
So what are they going to do from here? And

(29:08):
what would you do? I mean, how are you going
to move two plus million people?

Speaker 10 (29:12):
Yeah, they're hammering right now inside of Gaza. This offensive.
Sixty thousand reservists, there's twenty thousand that have been extended,
flooding tunnels. This is a underground conflict. This is that
going after that infrastructure to make sure that that never
impacts future security issues with Israel.

Speaker 11 (29:34):
They're not stopping like we've talked about.

Speaker 10 (29:36):
Obviously, inside of Gaza, you've got them and incredible destruction.
Everything's destroyed on the top, but it's the bottom line
underneath is what they're going for. Obviously, if you're a
civilian in Godza right now, it's not the safest place
to be. And we can talk all we want, but
to your point, Israel's not stopping. I don't see them
stopping anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
What do you think their in goal is take the
whole thing over?

Speaker 10 (29:59):
Their goal absolutely take the whole thing over. And I
think that they were relying on the United States, especially
if they can get this done quickly with this president,
that will able to pour in once they feel that
security situation there is resolved and the real estate person
and Donald Trump looks at that area as as something

(30:21):
that could be rebuilt, and I think, you know, he's
looking for legacy things as he's running out of time
with his and his presidency. So I do think that's
what they're trying to do. And if they find somebody
that says we surrender, that's fine, But they can't have
a government going forward, they can't have Hamas, they can't
have any of those individuals that started this thing be

(30:41):
survive this. And Israel's not stopping until they get them
to surrender.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
What'd you make of them this weekend? Israel bombing Yemen
and killing the prime inn. It's basically everybody in the cabinet.

Speaker 11 (30:52):
Yeah, you know, they they've just I guess I use
this all the time.

Speaker 10 (30:56):
They just don't play and that they're just They're not
going to let Iran come back. They're not letting these
proxy forces come back. What's going on in Yemen, then
the Huthi's and that situation. There is just a long term,
you know, smattering capability that they have. At this point,
they still had a lot of rockets. They have a
lot of things going on. Israel when they want, when

(31:20):
they want to say enoughs and off, they say enoughs
enough and that's what they did. So I think that
sets that country back. Unfortunately helped Saudi Arabia though deep down.
So you know, there's all these things that Israel brings
to the table that other countries are glad Israel does,
but for whatever.

Speaker 11 (31:35):
Reason, they get vilified still in the world stage.

Speaker 2 (31:37):

Chad Benson.

Speaker 13 (33:11):
Show, a hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I was laughing. This weekend we went to church. We
do that, right, like you heathen in church, I know, right,
but they allowed me in and our pastor so we're
going to a new church. He started talking about, you
know how the kids in today's world they speak, but
what they're saying is different than what they the words mean.

(33:53):
It's confusing, and I'm like, I know, That's why I
have this segment of the program. You guys simply know
that says urban word of the Day.

Speaker 14 (34:03):
Now it's time for the urban word of the Day.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
The young have a vocabularity all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 14 (34:11):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
All right, today's urban word is hilarious. I gotta be
honest with you. When I saw this, I thought, what,
how did somebody even come up with this? Merkudo's for
anybody that came up with this. And remember these. When
I say urban word, it's a phrase, it's a word.
It could be our word, it could be three words.

(34:34):
But this one is hilarious. Dayroom. You're like, day room,
what is what does that even mean? That's a that's
a days? How does that become something? Something or someone
that is basic and uninteresting? Everything about him is day room.

(34:56):
That is so funny. Day room is your urban word
of the day.

Speaker 14 (35:01):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Now, you know, and I would like to say, the
more you know, the better you know. It's a different world.

Speaker 14 (35:11):
Day room.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
That is so somebody thought that was funny. That guy
Skylight Now they're just making stuff up, man, That guy
is so Pencil three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chet Benson Show is your
ex your insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Make sure you
check us out nightly on the old YouTube as well

(35:34):
across all of our social media. Helps us out right
here in the chat Benson Show coming up, our number
two of the program. A lot of stuff to get
to still more on Trump and his health and this
worry over him. It's understandable. So what I'm telling people

(35:55):
this is all understandable. Okay, it's it's it's not something
that should be like he's almost day. We talk a
little bit about that. We've got some interesting stuff about
being bored. How good it is to be bored. It
is good to be bored. I'm gonna show you that.
Plus we got this day in history, among other things.
Reach out to us across all of our social media.

(36:18):
Our number two of the Chad Benson Show. Straight ahead.
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 15 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Is Trump sick or not? My prediction coming up here
in a little bit. I'm gonna tell you, guys, some
of you will probably be mad at me, okay. And
this is not a this is a situation here that's
not a good look considering what has taken place with
the previous administration and the lies and the cover up

(37:13):
that happened there media. I'm staring at you, guys, when
the whole world could see what was going on? But
are there some issues? I'm gonna tell you this right now.
He's almost eighty. Okay, he didn't do tai Chie his
whole life and live in some small island where he
had no pressure. He is in the most pressurized job

(37:35):
in history, and there is no doubt dude does more
than ninety nine percent of the planet. But it doesn't
mean there can't be slowed down. It doesn't mean there
can't be issues. Why because he's almost eighty is why
he is. And media, all right, establishment media, you guys.

(38:00):
The reason people aren't paying more attention is because of
how bad you did on the last one, where everybody
could see Grampa needed to have the car keys taken
away and you did nothing. It wasn't until you had
to face the music in front of the world after
that debate and realize, oh, we can't hide this. We

(38:23):
can't ignore this because they can't ignore it. If they
could ignore it, then maybe we could. But nobody could
ignore that.

Speaker 16 (38:32):
He only has himself to blame, and the entire Trump
world only has themselves to blame for this. Right, they
live in this world of conspiracy and misinformation. They manufactured
all sorts of garbage, whether it's about Hillary Clinton's health
in twenty sixteen, Joe Biden's health in twenty twenty or
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
By the way, none of that was garbage. There were issues. Hell,
we saw the other day. Hillary's getting off an airplane.
She's got a defeable in her hand. Now that might
be just for fun. But if you got off an
airplane and you had a defibrillator in your hand, people
probably go, hey, what's going on with the defibrillator? And

(39:13):
you're like, ah, they're having a sale. Is it two
for one? And I bought one. I got one for
a year too, just a case. I mean, you never know.
I mean, you know, maybe you're sitting around one night
and you want to have some fun. I don't know.
It's questions that. Okay, nothing about that. Chuck Todd is
wrong when you saw this is a conspiracy, right, None

(39:34):
of this stuff was conspiracy. None of it was. She
had some issues because she's an elderly lady. Okay, when
we get older. I'm fifty right soon. To be fair,
I try to keep myself in good nick. I don't smoke,
I don't drink. I need to lose thirty pounds. I

(39:55):
recognize that. But you know what, I've recognized, I'm not
as fit as I once was. You add on almost
twenty five more years. I don't expect to be as
sharp as I am today. So these weren't conspiracies. My goodness.

Speaker 16 (40:16):
They've started congressional hearings based on rumors they created and
manufactured on all things having to do with Biden and
this autopen and all this nonsense.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Once again, not nonsense. Okay, I'm saying this not nonsense.
That guy at times didn't know where he was. Just
because he was lucid for several hours a day didn't
mean that he didn't have issues. Right, my grandma, we
took the keys away, didn't mean that she didn't know
where she was. There was times when she was confused.
It just meant she shouldn't be driving, let alone running

(40:48):
a nation.

Speaker 16 (40:49):
So guess what good for the goose, good for the gander?
All weekend long? Where's Donald Trump? How come we're not
seeing him? Bottom line is he's clearly got some health issues.
We know this administration is not forthcoming pretty much about anything,
but times ten on when it comes to Trump's personal health.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
And I think some of that's true. I think he
has some hell says. You can't look at his legs
and not think there's something going on, right, you know,
and Grandpa or dad gets that way. You know. There's
some issues with the heart, and they've come out and
they have kind of said as much, you know it
could it be too much, you know, sodium or this,
I don't know, some issues with his hands. And the

(41:30):
funny thing is, you guys didn't see him for several
days and people are like, well, something, he's dead. I
mean that was a big rumor. No, no, none of
that was true. That being said, because he is everywhere
all the time, because he is NonStop in front of
the camera, because he is somebody who is always willing

(41:53):
to engage by coming out having a two and a
half hour meeting and bringing the press and letting them
ask questions, or doing Q and a's anywhere, or traveling
all over the place. You're used to seeing him in
a way that other presidents, especially the last president, you
had no access to. At times it'd be noon and
they're like, all right, we're done for the day, done
for the day. It's different here with him, But yes,

(42:18):
you should be able to ask questions, and do I
think he's as healthy as an ox? No, I don't.
Doesn't mean that he has some sort of debilitating disease.
It just means he's almost eighty and he is struggling
as you get older, and you keep up a constant,

(42:41):
NonStop schedule, almost on a daily basis, where you are
awake for eighteen or twenty straight hours because he doesn't
sleep much, and you are going from point A to
point B. You've got several meetings plus all the truth
thing you gotta do. Yeah, I expect there to be

(43:04):
somewhat of a slowdown. And it doesn't mean that he's
got something, like I said, some sort of debilitating disease,
like he's in the throngs of dementia that some people say,
or or he's got he's had several strokes, or he
has cancer. No, I just mean he's got life. Father
Times undefeated. Can we all recognize that Father Time has
never lost. So do I think there's some issues slowing

(43:28):
him down? I do. Do I think it's the end
of the world. I don't. But here's my prediction. I
predict after midterms, Trump's can step away and this is
what it'll do. Jd Vance assumes the presidency, and I

(43:50):
think you're gonna see him take more of a role
heading forward. In doing so, he'll have a year and
a half the two years in the run up as
the sitting president. On top of that, those years don't count.
So in theory jd Vance could be president for ten
years because if it starts over the halfway line of

(44:16):
the president's term, if he was to become president JD
Vance for whatever reason, he would then essentially not start
his clock for the two terms until the next election
if he was to win. Just my prediction, I think

(44:38):
that things are getting tougher. I think also if he
loses in the midterms, it's a great way for him
to step away, get all kinds of pardons or whatever
he's hoping for, and for this to move forward in
a way where we go from there. And I think
it would be tough for him, But it also depends
on his health. Again, he's eighty actuary tables say you've

(44:59):
done well. Just putting that out there, oh, chet, and
this is what I'll get. I get a bunch of
people freaking are you hate Trump? You hate him? No,
I'm just putting a scenario out there that I could
see happen, and I'm not a wizard, so settle down. Meanwhile,
something that is not going away is probably causing some

(45:20):
consternation in the White House, this whole Epstein character.

Speaker 17 (45:23):
New step today in the search for answers in the
Jeffrey Epstein case. Today members of a congressional committee, both
Republicans and Democrats, are meeting with some of Epstein's sexual
abuse victims. Those victims set to appear for a news
conference tomorrow pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Yeah, these are apparently there are going to be ten
of them. There may be a few more, maybe a
few less, but I think really ten to thirteen of them.
Most of these women, if not all, are women that
have not been identified, women that have not come out
and spoken about it, who've remained a mystery because we

(46:04):
hear about all these women, but we only know a few. No,
these are women that in Roqahanna Thomas Massey are doing this,
so it's a combo. Plate are women that have never
spoken about it publicly and they wanted to come out. Ooh,
Pete Sessions.

Speaker 18 (46:21):
Well, what we're hoping to learn is the information which
they would give us. We believe that we have now
a good bit of information that has come to us
via the Department of Justice, and yet there has to
be some way to look at that and then to
ask further questions. The information that has come in is

(46:42):
not bland, it's just does not give full context. And
so it's that full context that the committee is looking for.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
So Trump, I guess told BONDI, hey, release the stuff
that you think essentially is credit and that the Democrats
haven't messed with so they're painting the picture in the narrative.
Go ahead and release the stuff, but make sure it's
the stuff that doesn't make us look bad. And I'm
calling BS on this. I think you need to release it.

(47:12):
I think the longer this goes, the worse it's going
to look. And you guys went on vacation because of this,
So don't lie to us. You brought this stuff up,
you made this something, and now you don't want people
to see what's in there. And I think that's BS.
Were we a part of something, and by that I

(47:33):
mean Uncle Sam, the United States of America and there
are other people at play here. We forget about that
if it is what we potentially think it is that
this was used in the way to coors leaders into
doing certain things and powerbrokers and medium moguls and stuff
like that. It's not just us. Chances are that there
are other intelligence agencies that may be a part of this.

(47:56):
So just because we have stuff doesn't mean that's all
of the stuff. But come on, now, this is what
you wanted. You push this, and yet here we are
nothing so far and the nothing to see here which
is BS three two, three, five eight, twenty four to
twenty three at you adventson shows your acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,

Don't let that happen to you. Let them protect you,
and Webroot has a myriad of ways that they can
do that. How about this real time protection against malware, ransomware, fishing,
and more. Ten trillion dollars ten trillion that's with the

Show Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Nature can do horrible things, as we all know, and
nature will mess you up. And nature once again really
roared in a Afghanistan the other day.

Speaker 19 (50:01):
The desperate search for survivors after a devastating earthquake in
northeastern Afghanistans. The death tolls staggering, to the Taliban health ministry,
pleading with the international community for more health This earthquake
happened in a very mountainous part of the region and
that has made the response even more difficult, and Taliban
officials warned that the casualty numbers could increase as searchers

(50:22):
reached more areas impacted by the quake.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
And it shows you a lot about like how blessed
we are to live in this country, because it was
like a six point zero. California gets several of those
a year, you know, or a decade. I mean it's
a big one. But you don't hear about death like this.
You know, you hear about virtually you know, oh, there
was some damage done, or you know the pool sloshed

(50:48):
a lot and we lost a lot of water, or
you know a chimney fell down. You're like, no, whoa
will you rebuild? Yes? But there it is. First of all,
their tremors are not as I mean again we have
in America in particular in several of the fault lines

(51:10):
way bigger tremors at times. The difference is how we
build things and how blessed we are and the fact
that we have everything close by, meaning emergency services.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
At least eight hundred people have been killed in this
devastating earthquake, more than two and a half thousand injured.
That's according to the Taliban governments. Building shaking from the
capital of Afghanistan to the capital of Pakistan. The earthquake,
measuring six point zero, was relatively shallow, striking in the
middle of the night though, while people were sleeping.

Speaker 11 (51:40):
Rescue efforts now underway.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
But this is an extremely poor mountainance and rural area.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Resources are very limited. And that's how blessed we are
to live in this country. Right if we have an incident,
we have a fire station for the most part, within
a mile or two of just about most homes. And
this is and the shallower it is, the more violent
it's going to be. The deeper ones give you the role.
The shallow ones give you that. But they don't really

(52:07):
have OSHA regulations we do. Their homes are makeshift in
many cases at best. Even know if you call them
homes three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chat. Benson shows youare X, You're insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. If you're mis see a show grab the
podcast helps us out right here on the Chad Benson Show.

(52:31):
It just shines a light on what we have and
how blessed we are here in this country. And that's
kind of what I wanted to I talked about this
is because we are so blessed, and I don't think
people realize, especially a younger generation, how blessed we are.
And that comes with some makes and pains, don't get
me wrong, but man, are we blessed? Meanwhile, Burning Man
finished up. If you guys don't know what Burning Man is,

(52:52):
this is where a bunch of hippies get together, mostly
corporate hippies now and some other hippies, and they burned
the man. And usually every year there's something that goes
on there. That's just what This year, we had little
birth and we had murder.

Speaker 20 (53:06):
Tian Crysanto is driving back to the Bay Area from
her first trip to Burning Man on Saturday night, a
disturbing discovery. Law enforcement now investigating a homicide after a
man was found dead. Grassanto had already left.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Very scary that someone could have been murdered.

Speaker 20 (53:22):
With as many as eighty thousand people at Burning Man.
Crysanto says there's a huge police presence at the event.
She's glad she left early.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Yeah, because you don't want to get murdered at Burning Man.
And they discovered it when they were burning the man.

Speaker 21 (53:35):
This happened right around nine o'clock at night on Saturday
night as the Man as it's known, the effigy that
burns on the second to last night of the Burning
Man festival, as it was beginning to burn, and they
found the victim. They say, quote obviously deceased when they
got to a campground area, and that the victim was
the victim of murder. But they have called in forensic teams,

(53:59):
other sheriffs office investigators as well.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Burning Man, burning the Man, that's the way it's supposed
to because they're hippies, right, and the man keeps us
down and they burn the man in effigy. But obviously
something happened and there was a birth, so you have that.
It's the circle of life. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 2 (54:44):
You need to be bored. I tell this to my
kids all the time. Being bored is a good thing.
Being bored is a very very good thing. They don't
understand that because they think boredom is it's the worst thing.
And that is on us, because we have made a
world where you never have to be bored at all.

(55:05):
I'm as guilty as everybody else. There's a commercial one
of TVA. I've got this computer in front of me
that's called a phone that I can scroll around on
to do stuff. I can do five different things that
wants and pay no attention and that thing. We need
to be bored again more and more. It is true.
And if you don't believe me, this is auf I
see Brooks have have it who studies this stuff and say, yeah,
boredom is good and we need to be bored at
least once or twice a day.

Speaker 23 (55:27):
You need to be bored. You will have less meaning
and you will be more depressed if you never are bored.
I mean, it couldn't be clearer. Let me give you
the good side of boredom. In general, boredom is a
tendency for us to not be occupied otherwise cognitively, which
switches over our thinking system to use a part of

(55:47):
our brain that's called the default mode network. That sounds fancy,
it's really not. The default mode network is a bunch
of structures in your brain that switch on when you
don't have anything else to think about. So you forgot
your phone, you're sitting in a light, for example, that's
when your default mode network goes on.

Speaker 11 (56:05):
We don't like it.

Speaker 23 (56:06):
My colleague in the psychology department here at Harvard, Dan Gilbert,
he did experiments where people had to sit in a
room for fifteen minutes with instructions to do absolutely nothing,
and there was nothing in the room to do.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
You think there was nothing, but he points something out
here which is incredible. This is how insane we become,
how dependent we become on this computer in our hand.
This is how crazy we become. Are you ready for this?

Speaker 23 (56:31):
Except there was a button in front of them that
they could push, and if they did, they gave themselves
a painful electric shock. Sit their board or get a shock.
A big majority of the participants gave themselves shocks instead
of thinking about nothing.

Speaker 11 (56:44):
We don't like boredom. Boredom's terrible.

Speaker 23 (56:47):
Why is boredom so bad? Well, because the default mode
network makes us think about things that might be kind
of uncomfortable. When you think about nothing, well, your mind
wanders and thinks about, for example, big questions of meaning
in your life.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
What does my life mean?

Speaker 23 (57:01):
You go to kind of uncomfortable existential questions when you're
bored That turns out to be incredibly important, incredibly good.
One of the reasons that we have such an explosion
of depression and anxiety in our society today is because
people actually don't know the meaning of their lives much
less so in previous generations. Tons of data show this,
and furthermore, we're not even looking. Why not. I'll tell

(57:22):
you why not. We figured out a way to eliminate boredom.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
So true. I don't even know what my kids would
do with out some device or something. Now. Charlie is
very interesting. So my daughter Charlie, she'll play on her
tablet for a little bit, but then she's got to
get up and play and run around and do stuff.
She does her school work and stuff, but she will
play with everything. Right, She's got all of her make

(57:50):
believe friends, and she got all this stuff. She enjoys
that thing, and then she'll go back and play on
her tablet, and then she'll do some more work and stuff,
and she's got a nice little freedom. But she occupies herself.
It's not like she sits there and kind of thinks
about things that doesn't happen. And nobuddy wants to sit

(58:11):
around and think about stuff that makes you uncomfortable all day,
because you don't want to go down a rabbit hole
where you start thinking about so many things that you
make yourself miserable. But the meaning of life, like who
am I? What is this about? Where am I going
in my life? Was my legacy? What is you know?
Those kind of things. That's a real thing that many
of us don't think about because we're occupied twenty four

(58:33):
to seven, three sixty five and the only time we're
not occupied is when we're sleeping, and even at that
point in time, the phone's not too far away.

Speaker 11 (58:42):
I get it. You don't want to be bored.

Speaker 23 (58:44):
You need to be bored. Be bored more tomorrow when
you go to the gym in the morning after you
wake up, don't take your phone. Can you handle it?
Not listening to a podcast while you're working out, just
being in your head. I promise you you'll have your
most interesting ideas while you're working out without devices. Has
probably been a long time since you've done that commute
with nothing, not even the radio.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Can you do that?

Speaker 23 (59:08):
Start getting better at periods that are fifteen minutes and
longer of boredom, and watch your life change. Number One,
You'll be less bored with ordinary things in your life
if you get better at the skill of boredom. You'll
be less bored with your job, You'll be less bored
with your relationships, You'll be less bored with the things
that are going on around you. But more importantly, you'll
start digging into the biggest questions in your life purpose, meaning, coherence, significance,

(59:36):
and who knows, you might just get happier.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Oh maybe it is important. And you know what in
today's work like, it's not even boredom. It's almost like
it's a meditation. You're sitting there with yourself, with your thoughts.
And how important is that? Because we don't And and
I'm absolutely as guilty as anybody else when it comes

(01:00:00):
to this, I am so guilty at not wanting to
be bored. And I get tethered to this thing, and
it does drive me crazy, right, it drives me crazy
because every one of us does this. You can be
watching a show with your family and you see somebody
who's familiar and like, I know, I've seen that actor somewhere.

(01:00:21):
Then the next thing you know, you start going down
this path and rabbit hole of what you've seen that
actor in. We can't even sit there and relax and
enjoy ourselves in a time when we're not quote unquote
even bored. We don't even have the patience for that.

Speaker 23 (01:00:36):
People ask me all the time, is the doctor taking
his own prescriptions? And the answer is yes, yes I am.
I'm prone to the same pathologies as anybody else because
I have the same brain chemistry as everybody else. So
what do I do to fight that? And the answer
is well, I do a number of things. I have
a no device policy after seven in the afternoon. I
don't sleep with my phone. We don't have devices when

(01:00:58):
we have meals in my family because we're there for
each other. We're not there for people who aren't there. Three,
I have regular social media and the screen cleanses or
I don't use my device for longer periods of time.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
And that is awesome. And you know what else is
interesting is a couple weeks ago, we were in a
Walmart because we needed to get a TV. So we
go in the walmart and we were looking at the
dumb phones, you know as they call them, the flip phones.
And I says, anybody buy these? And she goes, yes,

(01:01:35):
And I said, oh, who who buys these? She goes,
Younger kids are buying them in droves. They don't want
social media. They're off social media. They can still kind
of text with their friends, but they're trying to get
away from it. She goes, that's our number one seller
when it comes to kids. It's not these other phones
over here, it's then these dumb phones. And we're talking
about Jen Alpha and gen Z stepping away. And I thought, man,

(01:02:00):
that is if it wasn't part of my life, the
social media and everything, I don't know how much I'd
be on it. Not a lot outside of the news
once in a while, but it is. It's what I do.
But we try to not have no tablets or anything
at the dinner table at all, no TV on And

(01:02:22):
that's a big deal. And I need to do a
better job at night. Especially of trying to get away
from all of this stuff, which is hard because twenty
four to seven now we have stuff available.

Speaker 23 (01:02:33):
First, it's like children screaming in my head, because that's
how you know dopamine to saying get the phone, get
the phone.

Speaker 11 (01:02:40):
That's addiction.

Speaker 23 (01:02:41):
But it calms down and I feel better, and I
feel sort of blessed by the end, and you know,
I pick the phone up by the end because I
have to check my emails and I have to be
a normal, functioning, connected person in the world. But it
does remind me that my life doesn't have to revolve
around these devices. These protocols are really really helpful, and
I recommend them to anybody and everybody. Don't sleep at

(01:03:03):
your phone, no phones during meals, regular social media fasts.

Speaker 11 (01:03:07):
You'll get better.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
Can you do that? Are you willing to do that?
Can you? Is there a GLP one for phones, it's
called the dumb phone.

Speaker 23 (01:03:16):
People worry that if they do these things, they're going
to miss something. There are ways that you can remedy that.
One of the things that you can do is you
can have your phone on you're just not looking at it.
And there's only one or two numbers that can reach
you in case of emergencies. Phones can do that. By
the way, if you don't know how to do that,
ask your kid. But don't use emergencies and as an excuse.
Here's something that's not an emergency. What's going on on

(01:03:37):
Twitter as not an emergency? Answer nothing, It doesn't matter.
The news can wait. Seriously, your grandparents didn't know what
was going on every single second in Washington, DC. You're
killing yourself with this stuff? Are you kidding me? It's
bad for you. So let me say it straight to
my kids. Put down your phones. You need more meaning

(01:04:00):
in your life.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
And so do I.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Amen, Amen, I think we can all take a little
bit away from that, don't you think? Three two, three, five,

(01:05:32):
your ex your insta, YouTube, Facebook and more coming up? Man,
we better find out what happened on this day in
history because I heard there was a lot of stuff
that took place on this day in history. And to
do that straight ahead right here on the Chad Benson Show,

(01:05:55):
Welcome to ches.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
No, not the country, the institution. It's a Chad Fancing shown.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
A lot of you are still chiming in on my
predictions when it comes to Trump. We'll get to some
of those next hour. Is it true what you're saying? Ched?
Are you predicting things? Are you a c sayer? I'm
just throwing it out there, right. It's good to have

(01:06:23):
takes a little hot take Tuesday. I should start doing
that here. I do that on my local show Hot
Take Tuesday. And because there's three of us, there's myself, right,
the ring leader of the chaos, and then I've got
Belle who is my local producer and kind of my
the news director, and psydekick Ken and we do these
wacky hot takes and they're never politicals. The whole thing

(01:06:46):
is it's never about politics. So like my first week,
it was like I think that the Beatles were totally overrated.
The second week mine was like I thought, The Godfather
is kind of stupid. It's like one of those things.
So it was not a mop movie. It was a
family drama. So you know, that was some kind of things.
It's hot take Tuesday, but this was today. Ooh, it's

(01:07:08):
got some people talking today. I can't believe you'd say
that about Trump. I'm just saying, you never know, because
he could be making history.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
What what's upon in time?

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
A long time ago? Now it's time for this day
in history. We look back on this set to find
out what famous things took place? All right, and there
were some famous things that took place on Thursday. And
here story. Where should we start? You ask yourself. Let's

(01:07:39):
go back sixteen sixty six. The Great Fire of London
began at rage for four days. It's throwing over thirteen
thousand houses and reshaping the city Forever I go to, uh,
whenever I go to London, I always take everybody over
to So they've got the you know, the Tower of
lond they got all these things, but they got this

(01:08:01):
really interesting place called the London Dungeon. And you go
there and it has like all the great ways that
people were tortured and who was kept in certain facilities
for a certain amount of time, and the tragedies that
have happened, And the London Fire is one of those
ones that they talk about and how it started, and

(01:08:22):
you will laugh. I won't say it here because I'll
get in trouble on how it started according to them,
But it did reshape London in a major way, big time.
On this day, in seventeen eighty nine, the US created
the Department of Treasury, with Alexander Hamilton sworn in as

(01:08:43):
the first secretary, laying down the foundation of America's financial system.
In nineteen oh one, on this day, US Vice President
Theodore Roosevelt gave his famous speech speak Softly and carry
a big stick. That speech was at the Minnesota State
phrase that would define his presidency. Also on this day

(01:09:04):
in history in nineteen forty five, a day that many
in the free world was waiting to happen and for
the news they were waiting to hear.

Speaker 24 (01:09:16):
As President of the United States, I proclaimed Sunday September two,
nineteen forty five, to be vj Days, the day of
the formal Surrender of Japan.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Japan surrendered on this day in history. It's very interesting
it took place because you had the surrender happen, but
you had the president on one side of the world.
It wasn't a formal end of the war, but it
was pretty much the end of the war in reality, MacArthur.

Speaker 11 (01:09:50):
I follow country today.

Speaker 24 (01:09:52):
The guns are silent, a great trajecty has ended, a
great victory.

Speaker 20 (01:09:58):
Has been lost.

Speaker 24 (01:09:59):
The sky is no longer reigned death, the fees battle
m commerce, and then that brick wham walked up right
in the sunlight.

Speaker 23 (01:10:10):
The entire world lies quietly, peace.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Never there, MacArthur. So it happened formerly on the USS
Missouri on this day in Tokyo Bay, marking VJ Day
and bringing the history's deadliest convict essentially to a close.
Also on this day in history, let's spring forward, shall we.
Nineteen sixty nine, the very first and I'm talking about

(01:10:37):
the very first ATM was installed, okay, in Rockville Center,
New York. It was a breakthrough, to say the least.
Oh money coming out of the wall. Crazy on this
day in history. Famous birthdays Jimmy Connors born on this day,

(01:10:58):
Samahayah Lennox, Lewis, Eric Dickerson, Terry Bradshaw, and Christy Corrigan.
Mcculliffe was born on this day in history, September second,
So you're this day in history, things that took place
on this day in history. Now you know more stuff
about this day in history. Oh, it's always nice, right,
It's always good to know, kids, It's always good to know.

(01:11:20):
You gotta know, man, you just gotta know.

Speaker 18 (01:11:22):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
The whole thing with the surrendering in in you know,
in the Missouri and all of that stuff that took place. Also,
the first time that MacArthur meets with Emperor Hirohito, they
tell him, yeah, you can't be above him, and you
can't touch him, you can't look him in the eye
because they looked at him as a as a living god.

(01:11:46):
And he's like, yeah, that's not gonna happen. I'm gonna
do me took a picture next to him to show
the ginormous difference night between the two. It was, it was,
it was eye opening. And while all this is going on,
we're pushing your closer to China. What well, no, maybe
kind of we'll talk about that next our three two, three, five, three, eight,

(01:12:06):
twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your
ex your insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Make sure you
join us nightly right around seven o'clock Eastern on the
YouTube and grab the podcast for his show right here
on The Chad Benson Show. Coming up, we do have
our number three more on my prediction not prediction that
many of you are like, I can't believe you said that.

(01:12:29):
I didn't say anything crazy. I didn't say anything wild.
I didn't say anything wacky. I just threw something out
there about Trump and his health because I'm looking at
the stress, I'm looking at the age, and I'm thinking,
could I see something happening. I don't want something to happen.
I want to clarify that. And as we all know,
if you listen to show for a long time, I
usually have to mention somebody wants in some situation like this,

(01:12:51):
and the next thing you know, there's an issue, and
then I get blamed for it. I'm not that kind
of wizard. Okay, a lot of other stuff to talk
about as well. Come missing the show show, Herryman. You
read the podcast hour number three of the show's raight
ed Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 15 (01:13:04):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show before.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
We jump into everything here with India, China, tariffs, Trump's health,
all that stuff. This right here. If this doesn't buged you,
I don't know what will. We're talking about ilhan Omar.
She's got thirty million dollars net worth. Oh my god,

(01:13:54):
what has she done. I'll tell you what she's done.
She's found a way to do whatever the hellse she
wants to do, like many of them, and enrich themselves
based on opportunities that they know about that the public doesn't.
We would call that insider tracing, but nobody cares about.
And the same thing goes for Trump and his family.
This is insane.

Speaker 25 (01:14:14):
We're learning that the Trump family just yesterday made five
billion dollars after the release of a digital coin that's
from a firm that has ties to President Trump and.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
His adult sons.

Speaker 25 (01:14:26):
Now that firm, World Liberty Financial, says that these tokens
were given to founding members of the company that they
can't be sold yet, so any gain is only on paper.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
But it comes as the.

Speaker 25 (01:14:37):
Trump family is building this emerging cryptocurrency empire, and the
president has reoriented the federal government to make the US
as he says, the crypto capital of the world.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
That's great, but why are you guys releasing mean coins,
which is something else where. You've made a ton of
money and now you've made five billion dollars. Even if
you only get twenty percent of that, you made a
billion dollars. I have an issue with that. And the
fact that other people don't is you know, who live

(01:15:08):
for Trump right? Like Trump can do no wrong as bs.
I'm sorry. I have a serious issue with that. We
should all have an issue with that. That is not
what our founding fathers were going. You know what we
should do. We should just figure out how we can
print up our own money and make it well. Or
or we'll just find out everything that's going to be
awesome in the future, and we'll take what we have

(01:15:29):
and we'll invest it in there, and then we'll l
act shock that we made tens of millions of dollars
and now billions of dollars. We should have a problem
with this. I shouldn't be the only person, but I
guess I am. I don't know. Meanwhile, there are issues
when it comes to the global friendship that apparently the

(01:15:51):
Pooter and Trump don't share with each other the way
that he thought they did. And that is the fact
that they are new friends in the friend group like
Modi and g who are all coming together to sing
Kumbaya and to America.

Speaker 4 (01:16:09):
The leaders of China, India and Russia hand in hand,
shoulders to shoulder, all smiles, laughter, and a clear message
to President Trump. The warm words are an effort to
show a stable and alternative world order.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
Yeah. Stable, alternative, you mean dominate, crush, do what you
want because you have the power. And we're going to
talk to our buddy, Mike. Lion's going up here a
little bit what he thinks of this. But there's no
doubt this was a message sent to Trump and to
the Europeans, but in particular Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
The mood music was love, friendship, happiness, partnership and all
things positive and all things not European and American.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
Oh they have mood music. Why are they all together?
Are they in love? No, they're not. But they're looking
at America going, we're going to back Pooter here because
it keeps you guys occupied, has you guys split, and
it's a conversation piece. We don't care what he does
because we don't care. It doesn't affect us, and he's
our pal. And if he can be a thorn in

(01:17:15):
your ass and it doesn't affect us, all the better.
And if it makes you guys potentially a little weaker
on the world stage, even better.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
India's Prime Minister Mody joining She and pootin Monday, jointly
representing over three billion people and militaries over four and
a half million strong, standing shoulder to shoulder, laughing, smiling,
sending a clear message and challenge to Trump over sanctions
and tariffs. Mody's locked in this battle with the US
over taris, pledging partnership with China, President She and the

(01:17:47):
swipe of the US calling for opposition two quotes cold
war mentality and bullying.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
Do we bully? Of course we do not pretend that
we don't. We absolutely frickin' bully, duh. But we do
it with love. Ya does it with what Belt Road initiative?
They hand you a bunch of money, tell you they
don't care what you do to your people. You go.
They admire strong men. They have their world that they
look at and they want to run the world that way.

(01:18:12):
We believe in freedoms and different things, and not just US,
but Europe and so even seeing Mody and them together.
For those of you who don't know, we laugh about
this all the time, but you can go online. China
and India aren't friends with one another, so that's why
it's weird that they came together. But on top of that,
they will fight across the line all the time. They'll

(01:18:35):
go back and forth between each other's country. You can look,
there's fistfights. It's crazy what happens on that border. But
the fact that they came together has very little to
do with whether or not they like each other, and
all to do with the fact that Modi feels like you. Look,
first of all, you sided with Pakistan somewhat. Secondly, you
think you're going to bully us to not buy cheap

(01:18:59):
oil from Russia, and by not buying cheap oil from Russia,
that would hurt us. But that's the goal, is to
not buy that oil, so it hurts Russia and in
doing so slows down their war machine. But we say
to you and so alas here we are.

Speaker 26 (01:19:15):
The White House has been fairly quiet on what we
are seeing coming out of this summit, but no doubt
they are watching this closely. The message being sent to
this administration is loud and clear, challenging US global leadership
and projecting an alternative. One White House advisor calling this
show of unity quote troublesome. Now these countries are taking
on the US on different issues, India making it clear

(01:19:36):
they are not happy with Trump's punishing tariffs. In response,
the President taking to social media attacking India for buying
quote very little from the US and saying Indian proposals
to cut tariffs are too late.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
So we'll see how that goes. Because that wasn't so
much about US and them, it was trying to slow
the powter down. Trump doesn't want to go after China,
so he went after India, thinking well, if we could
slow that down, that is going to be helper the
next thing that he's going to do. And again we're
gonna talk to Mike Loones, our military analysts coming up
a little bit. Is is he going to just give
them a bunch of weapons Ukraine and say go after

(01:20:10):
their infrastructure and crush their infrastructure when it comes to
being able to produce oil sell oil? Is that going
to be the next thing if we can't get them,
do you know other countries to stop buying? Can we
stop their production of it in some way, shape or form.
But there's no doubt it's not just by the way.
There's a whole bunch of them coming. There's a big

(01:20:31):
military parade coming up tomorrow and it's it's this there is. Yeah,
you've got the usual suspects there, but you're also going
to have several other nations, including our good friends Iran,
and of course the little fat guy with the rockets,
he's going to be there as well. Who is handing
over tons of military personnel to Russia, So cannon fodder

(01:20:55):
for the Ukrainians, and the Ukrainians have some issues. I'm
gonna talk to Mike about that in little bit. Meanwhile,
speaking of issues Trump health fair question to ask I
said at last hour, some of you are going, okay,
I could see that. Some of you are saying, oh,
you hate Trump, which is what I get. But whatever
I said, could I see after the midterm Trump stepping aside,

(01:21:18):
especially if they get boat raised and because of his
health then he's eighty, So let's not pretend like he's
oh he's a spring chicken. Oh no, he's eighty. When
we're eighty. If we're in that good of shape, great,
But we're not running the world. And I said that
I could see him stepping aside. JD Van steps up,

(01:21:40):
and once you get past the two years in one day, okay,
what ends up happening is the clock doesn't start for JD.
Those first two years essentially are a wash free and
then his second term, which would be technically his first term,

(01:22:05):
doesn't start till if he wins again and he runs again.
So could I see that happening? I said, yes, he's
got some health issues. We can't pretend that he doesn't.
And everybody goes, oh, you don't, No, he does. The
problem is the media failed so poorly with Joe Biden,
then nobody pays.

Speaker 16 (01:22:24):
Attention these health rumors. He only has himself to blame,
and the entire Trump world only has themselves to blame
for this. Right, they live in this world of conspiracy
and misinformation. They manufactured all sorts of garbage, whether it's
about Hillary Clinton's health in twenty sixteen, Joe Biden's health
in twenty twenty, or twenty twenty four. My goodness, they've

(01:22:45):
they've started congressional hearings based on rumors they created and
manufactured on all things having to do with Biden and
this autopen and all this nonsense. So guess what good
for the goose, good for the gander? All weekend long?
Where's Donald Trump? How come we're not seeing him? Bottom
line is he's clearly got some health issues.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
And I agree, because you're older, and you're older, you're
gonna have health issues. I mean here right, He's not
some guy that was doing tai chi on a small
island somewhere and it's never you know, ever had anything
that's not processed. And just now he's with no stress.
He's an almost eighty year old man who is arguably
doing the most stressful job in the history of the world.

(01:23:26):
So he's gonna have some health issues. And to say
that he doesn't, you'd be lying. That being said, don't
tell me there was manufactured BS. When it came to Biden,
Are you kidding me? Are you guys kidding me? He
used to shut down it like noon every day. They
would tell everybody, Okay, you guys, go home now, he's

(01:23:47):
not gonna come out. He would never give any kind
of of coherent answer for anything, so that he never
held a press conference. Oh we can go on and on,
and it wasn't until you guys got uncovered because you
failed miserably to cover any of it, and you told
everybody who's a conspiracy theory that on that night, that
fateful night, that his failure in front of the world

(01:24:12):
during the debate, you eventually couldn't hide it or ignore it,
whichever you want to call it. So settle down, kitten.
Oh jeez, Jad, But yeah, I think he's almost eighty.
He's got some health issues. Let's not pretend. Okay, stop
with the pretending and stop with the Oh my god,

(01:24:35):
I can't believe you said that. I look at the
actuary table. The actuary table said he's doing really good
comparatively to what the average person does, so it is
not out of the you know, ordinary, should something happen
or something happened that slows him down, Let's not pretend.

(01:24:55):
And yes I did say I think he'll get past
his two years and one one day, and especially if
they lose the mid terms, I could see him stepping
away getting pardon and then JD takes over three two, three, five, three, eight,

it seem.

Speaker 28 (01:27:51):

Head over to a Twitter slash acts Ilhan Omar and

(01:28:15):
Number one trending thing right now is Trump and his
Oval Office address, because.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
The weird world of is he dead? Is he unhealthy?
Is he going to resign?

Speaker 23 (01:28:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
I don't think he's dead because he looks pretty much alive.
But those are some of the things that are out
there trending. Trump dead, I don't think so. And finally
over to Google, Graham Green, Oval Office, Max Johnson, Northern Lights,
Jerry Nadler, He's going to resign after five thousand years

(01:28:55):

three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is Your actu? Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more? Right here
in the Chad Benson Show Trump announcement, Bill Belichick, Micah parsons,

(01:29:20):
he's got an injury. Should be ready to roll, don't
you worry? Some of the magical things trending in the
magical world of the interwebs. The whole thing about Trump
is he alive? Isn't he alive? Is he Is he dead? Well,
he's not dead, so there's that. Secondly, as I said

(01:29:41):
last night, we do kind of a look ahead for
the week, and normally do it on Sundays, but obviously
with the holiday, we decided to it last night. Our
buddy Jim Kennedy. Kennedy instead of public bollows the research,
you check us out on the YouTube when we do it.
The reality is he's nearly eighty and you know your
sell by date is get passed it right. This is

(01:30:07):
not a mean thing. This is a reality thing. I
don't know if he's healthy or not because I'm not
privy to that information, and iven he was, unless he
tells us, I don't think we're going to find out.
I mean, he was way sicker with COVID than people
realize until well after the incident that took place when

(01:30:31):
he got sick. So could he be really sick? It's possible.
So do I think that that's going to be some
sort of announcement today where he's coming out and saying
he's stepping away now? I don't think so, Although speculation
is what people do. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad ventson shows, your Extra instuf, YouTube, Facebook,
and more, coming off our good buddy Mike Lion's gonna

(01:30:52):
be joined the program. We're going to talk about Ukraine
and talk about Israel, a bunch of other stuff straight
ahead and see it's the chat ventson.

Speaker 22 (01:30:58):
Show Son Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
My favorite times a week sit down talk with the
best damn military analysts in the business. Retired major in
the Army and the military analysts that I think nobody
does a better job because you get what it's all
about out there. Let's first and foremost start with the picture.
You got Mody, you got Gee, You've got the pooter.
They're all together. Uh, that's a picture that the world

(01:31:48):
is going, Oh, that's that's uncomfortable to see those kind
of powers somewhat friendly with each other each od.

Speaker 10 (01:31:56):
I'm looking at this saying this is more symbolic than strategic.
You know, you look at that on the surface, and
you know India is likely the wild card here on
some level. But but I just don't see it. I
you know, I don't see this as an alliance of
any stature. The India as a country, unfortunately hasn't been

(01:32:18):
able to move forward in the twenty fourth century at all,
with a billion people, they still have, you know, tremendous advantage.

Speaker 12 (01:32:27):
They have nuclear weapons and the like. But I just
don't see it.

Speaker 10 (01:32:29):
I just think that this United Front looks great, you know,
against Western influence of anything that's going to cause the
West to get more united. But from a military perspective,
we see that Russia doesn't have any capability anymore. It's
all China, this is all about g and I think
I think this is more show than Dell.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
Frankly, let's talk about Russia. How much ground have they
really made up? Because you go and look at the
bloggers out there and they've they've they've grabbed a whole
bunch of ground. You got a bunch of people out
there in the and the the Ukrainian side said they
haven't grabbed as much as people think. But there's no
doubt that they have made a move here that has

(01:33:08):
been pretty substantial and compared to what they could have
Ukraine could have walked away with what eighteen months ago.

Speaker 10 (01:33:15):
This is not a win, no, and the space that
they've gained inside of Ukraine still wouldn't even occupy the
geographical oblosts, the areas that let's say, were there before
this conflict took place. Russia wants more of that, but
they really the sneaky news, though, I think, is that

(01:33:37):
Ukraine gets up every day and goes after Russia oil
and goes after their infrastructure and with their drone capability.
It's just been incredible and there's not a day that
doesn't go by. Now we don't turn on the TV
and see oil refineries on fire, we don't see the
fact that the Ukraine has gone another deep strike going there.

Speaker 11 (01:33:57):
So while Russia might be making.

Speaker 10 (01:33:59):
Some gains inch by inch on the ground, as they
lose seven thousand troops a day in some cases, which
is again it's just insane, Ukraine still has this capability
to go strategic and get go after strategic assets. And
we still haven't at the tipping point yet from the
Putin's perspective, but they're making real progress there.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
Mike, talk about the fact that they're losing seven thousand
in some cases a day in you know, men and
women or whoever's fighting up there at this point in time,
talk like give a historical figure so people can understand
that that is a number that is mind boggling.

Speaker 10 (01:34:35):
Yeah, Chad, that's world War two type casualties. And that's
because of the scale of the military that was fighting
at that time. And that's what is so you know,
crazy about this is that's really not that many soldiers
that are there. What I mean by that is, you know,
in World War Two you had millions of soldiers deployed
all over the battlefield. The United States, for example, had

(01:34:58):
them everywhere in the Pacific and in Europe, and we
still didn't even take this level of casualties on a
daily rate. But between the Russian military and the German
military and on all the things that were going. But
what I don't know how he does it. What I
mean by that is when you're on the ground in
a foxhol you know, reality is with you every day

(01:35:19):
and about you know, it's your instinct not to want
to get killed, that's your instinct. You want to survive
as human instinct. I don't care what language you speak
and what country you're from. And he just must separate
these troops where they don't talk to each other and
they're not seeing the results that they're not getting on
the ground. He's brought in North Korean troops that that

(01:35:39):
are basically told if they don't do this, They're going
to die anyway. Their families will be killed back in
North Korea.

Speaker 11 (01:35:46):
So it's been an.

Speaker 10 (01:35:48):
Incredible separation of all these individuals not being able to talk,
and the fact that that word hasn't even gotten back
to Russia because they keep they keep finding the troops
and they keep sending them there.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Talking to Mike Lions military analysts, we talked about all
things military. As the battles continue, What is our next play?
What's Europe's next play? I saw that, you know he's
out there saying, well, the expansion of NATO this there's
got to be some sort of conversation about this, but
he helped expand it with Sweden and Finland. I mean,
you know that wasn't us. What is our next move?

(01:36:21):
Whether it's US or Europe or can anybody do anything?
Is this still his game?

Speaker 10 (01:36:25):
Well, you're seeing the European leaders now trying to draft
some plans in order to deploy troops to this post
war Ukraine scenario. European leaders are willing to do that
at this point, and they want to make sure that
they're tied to security guarantees and the like. So if
there's actual a peace agreement, European countries, England and France

(01:36:46):
in particular, possibly Germany will well, we'll send troops and
have them on the ground. United States will provide our
cover and intel, so we won't have troops close to
the border or at any kind of risk. I did
see the German chancellor. They'll say coming over the weekend
that he thinks this war is going to still last
for a couple of years. So he's not very optimistic

(01:37:07):
that there's going to be any kind of peace plan
anytime soon. So I guess to kind of net it out,
you won't see direct US troop coup. It's commitments on
the ground, and it'll continue to be EU and NATO
partners supporting that should should that come to be.

Speaker 11 (01:37:25):
Military aid continues.

Speaker 10 (01:37:26):
The United States continues to provide aid to Ukraine as
they you know, continue to get up every day and
like I said before, go after their infrastructure. That's that's
the weak point that Russia has right now.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
When you you know, we're talking about military aid the
other day. The fact is, is this going to be
like Biden where we give him stuff and tell them
we can't use it. We give him stuff and say, well,
you can only fire it to hear or we tell
him you can't have it today, but maybe next week,
and then we say, okay, you can have it, but
we don't because that's the other side of it is.
I feel like we're holding them on what back because

(01:38:00):
we don't want this thing to escalate. But they're fighting
for their lives. I'm reading they've got pregnant women now
taking up arms because they don't have anybody left Ukraine.
You know, you said they had forty fifty sixty year
olds out there.

Speaker 10 (01:38:14):
Yeah, they've significantly lost a great portion of their population
early on left you know, a couple of years ago.

Speaker 11 (01:38:20):
They're not coming back.

Speaker 10 (01:38:22):
They have a disadvantage of four to one disadvantage overall population,
especially when it comes to the fighting force and the
age of a military here.

Speaker 11 (01:38:31):
So that's their.

Speaker 10 (01:38:33):
Weak link in the fact that they could run out
of people. You're seeing the technology, though, become this combat
multiplier and you know, every conflict in the past, let's
say since since the end of the Second World War
where technology factors in. In this case, technology has really
allowed Ukraine to use it as a combat multiplier and

(01:38:55):
not be hamstrung by that lack of personnel when it
comes to the defense. So I think I think that
that they'll get they can hang out for a while. Now,
what the US will do, I'm pretty sure they'll they'll
let the gloves come off and not necessarily restrict them
with one exception, I think that will remain military targets.

(01:39:16):
I mean, that's the difference between Western civilization and Russia
and everybody else is you know, Russia goes after civilian
apartment buildings that they have no care.

Speaker 11 (01:39:27):
In the world for who they target.

Speaker 10 (01:39:28):
I think that the United States will insist that at
least Ukraine hits military targets.

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
Talking to Mike Lines, we talk about all things globally
in the unrest. What's China thinking at this moment of time.
We touch on it every week because I still think
they're the sleeping giant when it comes to all of this,
I feel like they're I kind of feel like they're
still waiting around to say, Okay, when is our moment
to make some sort of move. Well.

Speaker 10 (01:39:51):
I think this is there, this summit that they're putting together,
they're coming out to here with with some kind of
new world order. You know, this is a clear bright
line East versus West situation. I think it's almost like
Cold War version two. You'd have to be you know,
for if you're in a country to align yourselves with
China or Russia.

Speaker 11 (01:40:13):
In India, I get it.

Speaker 10 (01:40:14):
That's four billion people, that's a lot of bullets if
we had to, you know, manufacture to go to war
with them.

Speaker 11 (01:40:19):
But I just don't understand. They don't.

Speaker 10 (01:40:21):
They don't have the economic wherewithal, they don't, they don't culturally,
none of those countries get along. I mean, Western countries
still are grounded in somewhat of the same value sets.
And I think that's that's still important, that that ties
armies together, it ties countries together. You know, we can
argue what's going on in the UK right now with
their freedom of speech. Maybe that's not where ours is.

(01:40:45):
But but there's still this fundamental thread of continuity that
exists in Western nations. This is what they're doing here
between North Korea, Iran, Russia, China. It's truly an access
of evil. I mean to bring back Ronald Reagan. So
I in China is trying to lead the whole thing.
But in the same token, they're going to let these

(01:41:05):
other countries be be first. You know, if there's something
does happen. Look what's happening to the Russian military India. Well,
then if something does happen, India will back right out
of US. Indias had no intention of aligning themselves military
with anybody. They're not a military power in any manner.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
Plus, they're not huge fans. I try to explain these people.
If you will go online, you could watch India and
China on the border fight almost every day. Sometimes it's
just fissfights. They're not pals with one.

Speaker 12 (01:41:31):
Another, yeah, long standing border disputes.

Speaker 10 (01:41:35):
They're competitive. You know, they both have a billion people.
I mean, this is you know, you're just not gonna
have them get together and have a photo wap and
think that, Okay, here we go, this is going to
be fine. It's just mostly symbolic. I don't really see it.
I'm concerned obviously, and the fact that that we could
have maybe had a better overture towards India. I you know,

(01:41:56):
look what we've done to Pakistan to kind of make
that conflict, because that's just as corrupt. The country that's
not obviously not the same size as India. But this
administration sided first with Pakistan at this point.

Speaker 12 (01:42:07):
But Indie'll be back.

Speaker 11 (01:42:09):
I don't see them changing.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
We move from there to the Middle East. They're now
calling it a genocide. This is not a win publicly.
BB doesn't seem to care. Schmodrick and all of these guys,
they don't seem to care. They're going to go in
and do this. They've gone into the West Bank as well,
which I think a lot of people are going, well,
hold on a second, I'm assen in the West Bank,
So what are they going to do from here? And

(01:42:32):
what would you do? I mean, how are you going
to move two plus million people.

Speaker 10 (01:42:35):
Yeah, they're hammering right now inside of guys of this offensive,
sixty thousand reservists, there's twenty thousand that have been extended,
flooding tunnels. This is a underground conflict. This is that
going after that infrastructure to make sure that that never
impacts future security issues with Israel.

Speaker 11 (01:42:57):
They're not stopping like we've talked about.

Speaker 10 (01:43:00):
Obviously, inside of Gaza you've got famine, incredible destruction. Everything's
destroyed on the top, but it's the bottom line underneath
is what they're going for. Obviously, if you're a civilian
in Godza right now, it's not the safest place to
be and we can talk all we want. But to
your point, Israel is not stopping. I don't see them
stopping anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
What do you think Their end goal is take the
whole thing over.

Speaker 11 (01:43:22):
Their end goal is absolutely take the whole thing over.

Speaker 10 (01:43:24):
And I think that they relying on the United States,
especially if they can get this done quickly with this president,
that will aid will pour in once they feel that
security situation there is resolved and the real estate person
and Donald Trump looks at that area as as something
that could be rebuilt, and I think, you know, he's

(01:43:46):
looking for legacy things as he's running out of time
with his and his presidency. So I do think that's
what they're trying to do. And if they find somebody
that says we surrender, that's fine, But they can't have
a government going forward, they can't have a mass, they
can't have any of those individuals that started this thing
be survive this. And Israel's not stopping until they get

(01:44:07):
them to surrender.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
Would you make of them this weekend? Israel bombing Yemen
and killing the prime minter's basically everybody in the cabinet.

Speaker 11 (01:44:15):
Yeah, you know, they they've just I guess I use
this all the time.

Speaker 10 (01:44:20):
They just don't play and that they're just they're not
going to let Iran come back. They're not letting these
proxy forces come back. What's going on in Yemen and
the Huthis and that situation there. It's just a long term,
you know, smattering capability that they have. At this point,
they still had a lot of rockets.

Speaker 11 (01:44:39):
They have a lot of things going on.

Speaker 10 (01:44:41):
Israel when they want, when they want to say enoughs enough,
they say enoughs enough and that's what they did. So
I think that sets that country back. Unfortunately helped Saudi
Arabia though deep down. So you know, there's all these
things that Israel brings to the table that other countries
are glad Israel does, but for whatever reason, they get
vilified still the World Stage four this.

Speaker 2 (01:45:01):

in the business, right major in the army. As always, brother,

Speaker 29 (01:46:30):
Joe serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:46:44):
It's Chad Benson as we come to.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
The conclusion of this phenomenal show on this Tuesday, talking
to my wife at church because they do allow me
in the church. Forget a new church. We go to
very night for a night and we go there and
the pastor starts talking about words and how the kids
use different words, and how these words mean something to

(01:47:08):
us that they don't mean to them, and how they've
come up with this and it's like we are separated
by a language, but it's a language that we recognize,
but we're not quite sure what that means. This cool
still mean cool, And I said, ha, ha, see, honey, this
this is why I do that. This is why I
tell people about this. Right here, now it's.

Speaker 14 (01:47:29):
Time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:47:32):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 14 (01:47:36):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
All right. Today's urban word is hilarious. I gotta be
honest with you. When I saw this, I thought, what,
how did somebody even come up with this? Mekudo's for
anybody that came up with this. And remember these. When
I say urban word, it's a phrase, it's a word.
It could be our word. It could be three words,
but this one is hilarios is dayroom? You're like, day room?

(01:48:03):
What is? What does that even mean? That's a that's
a How does that become something? Something? Or someone that
is basic and uninteresting? Everything about him is dayroom. That
is so funny. Dayroom is your urban word of the day.

Speaker 14 (01:48:22):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:48:25):
Now, you know, as we always say, the more you
know is the more you know doesn't mean you know anything,
but still the more you know, the better you know.
That's very pencil made that up right there. I don't
know if it's good or not. Pencil could be boring,
could be exciting because we don't use it anymore. Could
be antique. Oh that's ago on and write that down. Man,
you're so antique. Three, two, three, five, twenty four, twenty

bit of that as well. Economy we talked about is
