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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It is the ghost that will not leave. They cannot
exercise it as much as they want. There is no
exorcism that they can do at this moment in time
that is going to fix the issue when it comes
to Epstein and Trump. But while all of this is
going on, I just want to remind people of this,

(00:36):
the survivors. You see every time I see anything about this,
what do you see the politics of it all. You've
got one side who's trying to make sure that Trump
is in every single email and everything that is horrible
that has ever happened is all because of Trump and

(00:57):
Epstein and they're together and all of this, and the
other side is doing everything in the world to remind
you that Trump has never done anything wrong when it
comes to this, and he's been nothing but an upstanding citizen.
And there's nothing to see here. Our team wins. Now. Well,
all that's going on, though, there are human beings out there,

(01:19):
women who were young girls and children who were passed
around from dirty old men to dirty old men, and
they get overlooked and they're speaking out, and so was
their families, and they're pissed because they were promised transparency.

(01:45):
They were promised justice, They would promise this was going
to be different, and instead what they're getting is the
same old same, with either their surviving family members having
to speak for them because they're being used as a
pawn or frustrated that once again it's politics over actual justice,

(02:20):
and we don't talk about that because again the politics
of it all, and there's plenty of politics, don't get
me wrong, there is. Now this is a Virginia griphrase
brother talking about her being brought up in this latest

(02:46):
trove of emails, and when you listen to it, you
understand the frustration that they have because they're being used
as political pawns and it's just easy to pick her
because she's you know, she's not here. We have mixed

(03:07):
a bag of emotions right now.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
How reckless it is of the administration and the White
House to unredect our sister's name. I mean, she's not
even here to defend herself. She's not here to speak
for herself. And I think, you know, essentially what they're
trying to do is exonerate Trump from being involved with Epstein,
when in reality it's a complete backfire for them, because

(03:31):
what a disrespect to survivors. I mean, the redaction is
there for a reason, so it can protect the families
and the individuals. And by removing that, as the White
House removing that to say, oh, but you know what
it was Virginia though, and she and she's already cleared
Trump's name, that's not entirely true. She said she was
never personally involved with him. It doesn't mean that he

(03:52):
wasn't involved with Epstein. I think the documents are showcasing
that to begin with. And I just want to remind
President Trump and the White House else that survivors are
not political toys. Our sister was not a political toy
to use. They are sisters and mothers and daughters. We
need to start putting some respect on survivors' names.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
How Well said was that again, the survivors matter. The
politics is the sport that everybody is playing, and they're
playing the sport. Let's be real. I mean, listen to this.
So this is Kevin O'Leary on CNN talking about well

(04:40):
trying to make a point, but he and god, what's
her name, Navarro get into it. But the way he
comes out, you know, at this it's like, well, the
politics and who's been hurt.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Let's just look at facts, because I mean, everybody has
a political position on this. Epstein's still dead tonight.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
That all the people that have been really hurt by
this actually were caught.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Lying in the scandal, including a member of the royal
family with stripped of his titles.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
All that all the people that were really hurt.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
Yeah, really, the.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
People that were really hurt are the women, Kevin Yeah, yeah,
the young girls.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
I don't think having one closure and transmissing the people
heard is not prince and.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
They just go on and on. But the first thing
that you do is you go, well, you know, the
people that you know have been really hurt, have been
stripped of their titles or they've lost this. No, the
people that really hurt were the young girls. This yesterday.
I keep trying to figure out this cannot be real.
Here's a perfect example, again, trying to defend all that
you possibly can, Megan Kelly, what.

Speaker 7 (05:52):
In real charges as for Epstein? I've said this before,
but this is a reminder. I do know somebody very
very close to this case who was in a position
to know virtually everything, not everything, but virtually everything. And
this person has told me from the start years and
years ago that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was
not a pedophile. This is this person's view who was

(06:14):
there for a lot of this, but that he was
into the barely legal type, like he liked fifteen year
old girls. And I realized, this is discussing. I'm definitely
not trying to make an excuse for this.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
I'm just giving you.

Speaker 7 (06:26):
Facts that he wasn't into like eight year olds, but
he liked the very young teen types that could pass
for even younger than they were, but would look legal
to a passer by. And that is what I believed,
and that was what I reliably was told for many years.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
And what First of all, I don't know where fifteen
is legal. Secondly, what are you trying to do? You're
trying to make him out to be well, so then
he's the victim here? Is that it Again, everybody's trying
to win, but the reality is nobody's won, and people

(07:13):
were hurt, and people's lives were upended and destroyed, and
you're still trying to win in argument about well, my
team's better than your team, and your team could have
done this and why didn't you do it? Is disgusting three, two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three Act you had, Benson Show,
is your acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. I

(07:37):
love hearing from all of you. Let me know what
you think. Yesterday my local show, I got several people
who text me and said, I'm over the Epstein stuff.
I don't care about it. Okay, I don't care who
did what to who. I don't care about any of that.
I want my border secure, and I want essentially two

(07:59):
dollars gaps. Yes, And I thought, wow, So what you're
saying is I don't care that little girls were used
and abused. As long as I get two dollar gas
and a good economy and a phenomenal border. As long

(08:22):
as I have those things, well then that's all that matters.
I'm like Jimminy cricket people. I'm telling you, speaking of
the economy, what's going on with it? Well, first and foremost,
tariffs very important because if you're not paying attention, the

(08:42):
economy is struggling a little bit, despite what Trump says
it is, and the groceries are a big part of that. Well,
now they're going to make a move when it comes
to tariffs, particularly throughout South America.

Speaker 8 (09:01):
The deal covers four countries, Argentina, Ecuador, al Salvador, and Guatemala,
with full agreements expected to be signed in about two weeks.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
And it's important to note here.

Speaker 8 (09:10):
The deal does not include Brazil, which provides about a
third of US coffee imports and still faces some of
the highest tariffs under Trump's plan.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
And that's a big deal with the coffee imports, because
everybody likes the coffee, and it is expensive out there.
Kids recognize the expense, and I understand the frustration. You know,
we're gonna talk to our buddy, Zach Abrahm, chievestment officer
at Bulwark later on. You never chatting the other day

(09:40):
about just the expense of life, you know, be both
he and him, we do all right in life. And
I notice it. Most people understand and notice it. And
that's where I said the other day, I think the
administration has gone wrong by not recognizing what's going on
and continuing to tell everybody that it's okay. Is a

(10:04):
swing and a miss got a face up to it,
and people are getting frustrated. And Trump's not winning on
the thing that he wins consistently on, which is the economy.
And the downplaying. I cannot in any way, shape or form,

(10:25):
be more vocal about this. Embrace what is going on,
Be there for the people, show them that you're trying
to do something and this will take time. Don't gaslight them,
right Marjorie.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
And so gaslighting the people and trying to tell them
that prices have come down.

Speaker 10 (10:44):
Is not helping.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
It's actually it's actually infuriating people because people know what
they're paying at a grocery store, they know what they're
paying for their kids' clothes and school supplies, they know
what they're paying for their electricity bills, and that that
approach does not work. We need compassion and show that
we care about the American people and show that we

(11:08):
we are in the trenches with them on what they're
going through. That's first and foremost. You don't gaslight them,
you don't lecture them, and you don't deny what's happening.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Amen, Be there for them, show them you're with them
and what's going on again. Transparency Watch what Happens three, two, three, five, three, eight,

Because the minute you think, well, I think I've heard

It's it's like a tsunami of chaos, craziness and news.
Thank god, it's finally Friday.

I know how I see it.

Speaker 14 (13:54):
Anybody is burning a hold. I through my bucket in

Speaker 13 (14:00):
Among the morning be.

Speaker 14 (14:03):
It's fine, fine, ug done my motor rolling.

Speaker 15 (14:10):
It's fun.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
I'm not ready for it.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I think it's a little too early.

Speaker 13 (14:20):
Right one.

Speaker 16 (14:23):
It is the largest deadliest aircraft carrier in the world.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Listen, when it comes to politics, we know nobody comes
out a winner.

Speaker 15 (14:31):
This case is clearly overcharged.

Speaker 14 (14:34):
It's fine, ug done, my motor rolling, It's fun.

Speaker 17 (14:49):
Many doctors, including the largest medical group of ob g
i NS, agreed this is a positive step for women's health.

Speaker 18 (14:55):
They're all just tapping into the same systems that are
defining this era. Patriarchy went supremacy, and I'll simately capitalism.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
I felt great, and i felt safe, and I'm glad
that I'm not alone.

Speaker 13 (15:09):
Jove, we had a thirty hours slowly.

Speaker 14 (15:15):
Kennedy b.

Speaker 15 (15:21):
Fay trumpet.

Speaker 19 (15:36):
The bombshell confirmation the revelations in this ongoing Trump Epstein scandal.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Donald Trump is in the Epstein email.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
And you know what, we covered all of it this
week right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (15:50):
These emails proved absolutely nothing other than the fact that
President Trump did nothing wrong.

Speaker 21 (15:56):
This email from Jeffrey Epstein saying that Donald Trump spent
hour was just one of victims, or that he knew
of up the girls, and these are things that should
should bother us.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
We have plenty of talent. We don't have talent in
people now you don't have you don't have certain talents,
and you have to people.

Speaker 13 (16:12):
Have to learn.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Wow, that was not the best thing to say. With
all the chaos over the last couple of days. Something
we didn't cover Starbucks. It's that time of the year,
right the pumpkin latte. Yesterday was Red Cup Day and
a lot of people went on strike at Starbucks. The
Maaris says, they're angry, they're mad.

Speaker 22 (16:30):
Why we're calling for the company to come back to
the bargaining table and settle the first contract with us
that actually addresses the problems in our stores understaffing, lack
of the hours we need, and lack of the pay
we need to actually pay our bills and make ends meet.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Now, Starbucks said it's one of the best retail jobs
to have you make thirty bucks an hour, and that's
when they count in all the benefits and everything else.
But they're saying, look, we don't make thirty bucks an
hour because you don't give us enough hours to get
benefits and to make a living. So it's very interesting
because is so that true, course it is corporations, but

(17:08):
it's also a situation where you're a barista. How much
money do you think of barista should get paid? Well,
we need a living wage? What's a living wage? Just
out of curiosity, what's a living wage? In San Francisco
is much different than in you know, Pocatella, idah. So yeah,
this is interesting. Starbucks Red Cup Day between the Red

(17:29):
Cup and the Bear Cup. A lot of things going
on at Starbucks three two, three, five, four, twenty three.
At Chad Benson Show's Your Ex, your Insta YouTube and more.
Happy Friday, It's The Chat.

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

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
The government is back now the ball is in your court,
Mike Johnson. When it comes to healthcare, it's unaffordable, we
get it. So what are you gonna do? Much gonna
do because people are gonna they're gonna be in a pinch.

(18:27):
They are about to get ugly for a lot of
people out there, So what are you going to do?
I'm hearing from more people every single day the frustration
because they're seeing what is going on with the cost
of their premiums, and they're well, quite frankly, they're, as

(18:49):
we've been saying, they're rolling the dice, many of them,
especially people under fifty who feel like they're in good shape.
They're just going, you know what, I'm gonna roll the
dice and we're gonna let the chips fall where they may. Now,
the Democrats jack the pooch with Obamacare, Okay, they they did,
they they absolutely.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
Did.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
What politics and government does. They take the best case
scenario as the sales pitch, with zero chance in their
mind that it will not work, knowing full well though
in reality it's not going to work this well, and
then what happens It doesn't work, and everybody else is

(19:38):
looking around going hmm, this was an epic failure. And
the problem with government in many cases is when you
see an epic failure, what should you do? You should
go we got to correct this, We have to correct this.
See but in politics, correcting is we have to make

(20:00):
noise like we're going to correct it. We have to
push like we're going to correct it. We have to
do a lot of that stuff, except for the part
where we do something where we could be on the
hook for it. Well, now the subsidies are going away.
Now it's about to get real for a lot of people.
Now you're on the board, as they would say in

(20:24):
the NFL, you're on the clock. What are you going
to do?

Speaker 24 (20:28):
First of all, the Unaffordable Care Act has failed the
American people. It did exactly the opposite of what they
all promised as it would do. The Democrats broke the
American healthcare system. The reason your premiums or skyrocketing is
because they have terrible policies, and one of them is
subsidizing insurance companies. That's what this covid erasubsidy was all about. Remember,
the Democrat Party created this on their own. They're the

(20:50):
ones that put the expiration date on it December thirty
one of this year, because they knew it was a boondogg.
There's no way they could justify that being permanent policy.
So what we have said is if there was going
to be an extension of that, it would need massive reforms.
You need some income caps on that. You should not
be subsidizing healthcare for wealthy people. And also you need
all sorts of reforms on it. You need you need

(21:11):
high protections on those things. And other innovations. So the
Republican Party has known this is going to expire at
the end of the year, as everyone in Congress has.
We were always preparing to work through that in a
deliberative fashion through October November December. But ironically, the Democrats,
because their Shenanigans, took a lot of the time off
the clock on that for us to do it.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
So we're working on it in earnest.

Speaker 24 (21:32):
It is the Republican Party that will bring down health
care costs, not the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
If that was true, you were going to win the
hearts and minds and votes of many people. I don't
believe anything that you're saying. Whenever I hear anybody talk
about this. You remember, Trump talked a great game too,
And we're going to talk to our buddy Jim Kennedy
Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, who's put out several
papers about this, but he even he's joked on nubersications. Yeah,

(21:58):
Trump talked a big game, but he had no planned.
They don't have a plan. And by the way, if
you knew this was going to end and this was
going to be your big push, you know what you
should have done. You should have been working towards fixing
this all along. But if you go and fix it,
then the other side doesn't pay for it. Nobody cares

(22:20):
about the other side. But you guys, Americans care about
America and they care about their world. Their world's about
to get a lot more expensive. Yes, they screwed up,
they jacked the pooch, and it should have been handled
years ago. They should have fixed the issue, but alas

(22:40):
nobody did so they allowed it to go on for
as long as they possibly could, until the Republicans wanted
to go all right, well we're going to do this
now and we'll fix it. You watch, we got stuff
that's coming. Okay. I don't believe you. I don't think

(23:02):
many people do believe you at this point in time.
I want to see a change, but I know there's
too many chefs in the kitchen and too many people
out there have got their hands out that are going
to have any real effect on this because you're coming
at it in a world of politics, which is why

(23:23):
the ACA didn't work, rather than what does the end
user get and how does it benefit them? Let me
know what you think. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch had been to shows
your ex your insta. Several provisions in the CR that passed,
and I just want to say the CR again is
only good until the end of January, so we could

(23:45):
be right back into another shutdown. I wouldn't be surprised.
And I think if we have another shutdown and it's serious,
I think they will do away with the filibuster who
they get ready for a wild ride. But a couple
things that were in there. One the insane and the

(24:07):
insane provision that would allow any of the senators who
were in their mind spied on in the Jack Smith case, okay,
the Arctic frost thing, and they could be able to
sue for up to five hundred thousand dollars each time

(24:27):
I think they were to spied on, which is just
such bs well that is in there. And the funny
thing is the Republicans in the House are very upset
about that, and they still passed it anyways, but then
they're going to look at it taking it out again,
and they seem to be more upset over the fact
that they weren't allowed to have that provision in there,

(24:49):
which again is just insane. But the other one hemp,
the battle of hemp. And you want to talk about
something where you what do we always talk about here
when it comes to big business and corporations, they love regulation.
You would be surprised about who spends money on what
to get something done and hemp. In the twelfth hour,

(25:12):
this was thrown into the bill.

Speaker 25 (25:15):
New backlash to the spending bill that reopened the federal government.
The bill is now set to shut down a key
part of the booming hemp industry. A last minute provision
to the bill closes a loophole that allowed manufacturers to
convert hemp into high potency THHC products through chemical processing
sold with almost no federal oversight.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Oh and that is important, and we will get to
that in a second. But the industry itself overnight, this
is essentially newter the industry, the hemp industry. And while
their cousins marijuana and hemp, they operate in a different way.

(25:57):
And so the industry is about to get a serious change.
This lady who runs she's the chief operations officer for
one of those THC infuse like energy drinks. Talking about
what's going to happen.

Speaker 26 (26:12):
Yes, this would it could essentially shut down our entire operations.
I'm sure you can imagine with the language as it
is written in the bills. So what we have to
wait and find out now is what our distribution networks
plan is. Are they intending to discontinue sales at this time?
Are they going to continue sales as we have heard

(26:33):
mixed responses from the various distributors in her network. So
we're in a holding game right now, as we have
to wait and see how th Sam holds a little bit.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
And this is a billion dollar industry with thousands of
workers that are going to see again almost instantaneously, this
thing could disappear. And this was a provision. This was
something that was like a loophole as they call it
in the twenty eighteen Farm Bill.

Speaker 27 (27:05):
And so.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Watching this thing kind of just overnight disappear and everybody's like, oh,
I can't believe they did that. Well there's again. We're
going to get to the big business side of it
in a second. So this lady was on with News
Nation earlier and the News Nation guy he could it
was actually entertaining to watch him try to say, look, hey,

(27:28):
can we make fun of you guys all the time?
You know, defend your industry.

Speaker 28 (27:32):
I'll be honest. I think sometimes us in the media,
we're all guilty of it. This this story or this
industry sometimes gets it does not get treated seriously, like
there's too many like plays on words and you're joking
around about it and that kind of thing. But it's
obviously very serious business with a lot of money on
the line. So I just want to dig right into
some of that and allow you to make the case
for your industry, but do so if you can by

(27:54):
defending your industry. So one of the arguments Stan Patrick
is the Lieutenant governor of Texas, he makes on social
media that the THHC ban has been a priority for
me and that I appreciate Congress quoting him now addressing
this important issue at the national level.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Here's the part.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I believe this.

Speaker 28 (28:10):
Band will save a generation from getting hooked on dangerous drugs.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Well, first of all, Dan Patrick's an idiot, so I'll
tell you that right now. Sorry Dan, if you're listening,
not the sports guy. Really that is oh yeah, it's
just the most dangerous super getting hooked on drajies. Oh kid,
that is as we know, and we've talked about it absurd.

Speaker 26 (28:38):
Well, I think the bottom line is the indian of
the statement of quote unquote dangerous drugs. The foundation of
that solely rust So Riddick that was created by the
government at the beginning of the nineteen hundreds, and it
was developed in order to help control immigrant populations.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
And that's where we sit today.

Speaker 29 (28:58):
I grew up in the eighties.

Speaker 26 (29:00):
I was exposed to all of this is your brain
on drugs, the anti drug movement, and I have been
a medical cannabis user since twenty eleven in California because
I have issues with muscle spasms, sleep disorders, and those
things are what really drives us forward. And it's been
a huge, huge platform for me to try to express

(29:22):
that to people that I've worked corporately. I've had successful
careers all while using cannabis. It doesn't ruin my life,
it doesn't make me a degenerate. Our bodies have an
endocannabinoid system, so as every mammal on this planet. The
plant has evolved alongside of us for thousands of years.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
It's just it's your life's going to be ruined and
over and then they got into the conversation about marketing
and who was behind this twelve hour get rid of hemp.
And because the marketing, again it's outside of inside of

(30:04):
the liquor stores. I don't see anything, you know, but
it's got to be there somewhere.

Speaker 26 (30:11):
From my experience, we've had extremely strict rules around how
we can market. In fact, most platforms don't even allow
marketing for hemper cannabis. So for the claim to be
made that we are creating marketing to children or under
twenty one is pretty excessive in my opinion, because I
look at alcohol products out there and in my face

(30:32):
every day is a product that I see Shack promoting
called Beatbox that is obviously marketed for children and underage drinking.
But we don't have any outlets like that, and we
also have a lot of scrutiny over what can be
on our products. We have been compliant. We've had sign
off from the Minnesota Pharmacy Board that our branding is compliant,

(30:53):
and we do take it very seriously that it is
the parent's responsibility, along with the industry responsibility, to create
education and awareness around safe storage, propper usage and how
this impacts you if you do get your hands on it.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Now, who do you think funded the crushing of this
big cannabis. See, hemp farmers are small big cannabis, those
are corporations. One of the other things that's that people
don't realize. And look, do I understand a little bit
of why big cannabis or anybody would would want to

(31:32):
fund against this. Yes, because weed's got to pay a
lot of taxes, they have to have a lot of licensing.
They don't have to actually operate under super strict regulations. Okay,
hemp companies can do things like ship across state lines.

(31:54):
They can undercut cannabis dispensaries on price. And so they
look at this and say, hey, you guys are selling
at liquor stores. You guys are selling in places like this.
It's a six billion dollar a year industry and growing
in just a few years with the Delta eight gummies
and the vapes and whatnot. And we have to go
through all of this stuff. So while we're cousins, we're

(32:17):
not that close. So we're gonna do this and we'll
see how this works out for you. They were as
much a big funder and push to get this in
the bill as anything else. It was definitely about the green.
The green that was being pinged upon by smaller farms

(32:39):
and independent farmers and the big groups that said you
want to get high, Well they said not so fast.

(34:04):
It's good to be right, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 30 (34:14):
Welcome to cheshef no, not the country, the institution, The
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well, this is scary.

Speaker 31 (34:23):
A New Jersey man is the first known person to
die after a tick bite triggered a severe meat allergy.
The forty seven year old went camping with his family
in twenty twenty four and got violently ill after eating
a steak. He recovered, but two weeks later he ate
a hamburger and again got very sick then died.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yikes, that is absolutely terrifying because, well, first of all,
ticks the potential for lime disease, that's what we normally think,
but burger's meat. I'm still trying to figure this out.
How do you even find this out? That's the weird thing.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
The autopsy said his death was unexplained.

Speaker 31 (35:01):
Then his wife had his blood tested at the University
of Virginia, where researchers determined he had an allergy called
alpha gal syndrome, caused by the bite of the lone
star tick, mainly found in the northeast, South, and Midwest.
They have a white dot or lone star on their back.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Oh that's why.

Speaker 6 (35:20):
But still.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
That's scary. It's scary. You think about line disease. If
you see a star on the back of the tick
that bit you, you better watch out three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at ched Benson
shows your Extra Insta YouTube and more. We love hearing
from all of you right here in the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, our number two of the program, more on Epstein,

(35:44):
the Ghosts that Won't Go Away. Zach Abraham, chief investment
Officer Board Capital, is going to join the program. We're
gonna talk about a lot of stuff, AI being one
of those things. The economy obviously a big deal because well,
the economy stupid. We've also got some healthcare conversations that
we should be had. Is there a fix? I do
believe there is a fix. The question, like all of this,

(36:07):
when we ask about these things, is does anybody care
enough to actually want to fix something or would that
ruin the politics? Talk about that, among other things. Our
number two straight ahead, This is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
The Ghost of Epstein is not going away. We've talked
about this. You know a lot of people they're like, man,
you talk about this lot. Well, can I just say
it is the biggest story right now? Okay? It is?
I mean we can sit here and pretend that other
stories have some sort of thing going on where people's like, ah,
we got to No, for the political side of stuff,

(37:17):
there is no bigger story. There isn't and I would
rather not talk about it. I think there are other
things out there that are more important to the everyday
average person. I think a lot of you agree with that.
Let's be honest. The economy, good, bad, or indifferent? How
do you feel a lot of people have questions about

(37:37):
what is happening in the economy rightly so, jobs market.
I'm telling you guys, the job situation, I and it's
so bizarre because if you didn't hear Carolyn Levitt the
other day speaking of the jobs, because they're saying, hey,
you know, okay, the government's reopened. Where's the are you

(37:58):
guys gonna have a job support? Well, the Democrats screwed
it up so bad. We may never have a job
support again. You're like, what and why jobs reports and
these things are important? Is the investment side of stuff? Okay,
it's kind of like sports, right, I'll use an analogy here.
You have to have your injury updates by I think

(38:20):
it's Thursday in the NFL. And the reason is because
they're setting lines because money's flooding in. People are betting.
It's the same kind of thing the job's report, because
if you're not going to have a job support, if
you're not going to keep up with this, what ends
up happening is investors aren't sure exactly what to do.

(38:40):
If you're not going to report earnings and certain things
like this, They why would I invest if I have
no idea what's going on. So there's a lot of
stuff that's important, but on the political side, and that's
all this is, right, So all this is this is
only politics this has nothing to do with anything other

(39:05):
than politics, because the survivors, as we've talked about last hour,
they're not being talked about the way they should be. No,
not at all. In fact, the survivors are being forgotten
in many cases because they've become well, you're here, and
we know it's about you, But this is really about

(39:26):
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in power, in the deep
state and all of this stuff. They're angry, they're pissed.
They should be. They feel like they're being used and abused.
This is a Virginia Gufray's brother talking about even the
other day with Carolyn Levitt and say, well, we know
who it is.

Speaker 22 (39:46):
It is.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
You know it's Virginia Guffray. And she's already said that
Trump didn't do anything. We have mixed a bag of
emotions right now.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
How reckless it is of the administration and the White
House to unredect our sister's name. I mean, she's not
even I'm here to defend herself, she's not here to
speak for herself. And I think you know, essentially what
they're trying to do is exonerate Trump from being involved
with Epstein, when in reality, it's a complete backfire for them,

(40:14):
because what a disrespect to survivors. I mean, the redaction
is there for a reason so it can protect the
families and the individuals, and by removing that, as the
White House removing that to say, oh, but you know what,
it was Virginia though she and she's already cleared Trump's name,
that's not entirely true. She said she was never personally
involved with him. It doesn't mean that he wasn't involved

(40:37):
with Epstein. I think the documents are showcasing that to
begin with. And I just want to remind President Trump
and the White House that survivors are not political toys.
Our sister was not a political toy to use. They
are sisters and mothers and daughters. We need to start
putting some respect on survivors' names.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
I agree, nobody's talking about it from this survivor's side
outside of Massey and a few others, But it's still
all politics. It is, and it's frustrating because I care
about the truth. I've said it over and over again.
If Trump knew to me, and you know, based on

(41:19):
some of these you know emails, everybody's going to read
into it what they want. It feels like he knew
a lot more and the lies that he has told
about his relationship with Epstein is becoming more and more apparent.
Once again, I've never said that he has done something

(41:41):
untoward to anybody, but knowing to me is.

Speaker 6 (41:47):
Not as bad.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
But it's damn close it is. And why this is
going to be a bigger political story is eventually starting
next week. This thing's gonna go to the floor the House.
It's gonna get voted on, and then it's going to
go to where the Senate and there's gonna be noise

(42:13):
made there because Trump is putting a full and I
do mean a full press on anybody that he thinks may.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Turn.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
The other day, the whole thing with Bobert. If you
guys didn't know Lauren Bobert, they called her in. I
was like the situation room or so, I mean, they
the FBI directors there, You've got I think there was
legal counsel there, and I think you had Pam Bond,
you had everybody, and there was a full court pressure.
And she said, first of all, she left the meeting

(42:53):
and said I'm not changing and this is why, and
it's person. And when she left, she said not only
have I dug my heels in more, but the way
their acting makes me think there's there there, and that's interesting.

(43:16):
So there's going to be a vote next week. And
I said last night, I did a video. If you
miss it, shame all right, shame on you go, uh
check it out. But don't be surprised on the vote
on the floor. Doesn't just get the you know, just
over the line that there may be dozens, maybe up

(43:38):
to one hundred. Again, I don't know what kind pressure
they're gonna put on of Republicans to go, okay, let's
vote to release it.

Speaker 10 (43:44):
Epstein's message is part of a trove of thousands of
documents from his estate now made public by the House
Oversight Committee. Trump's name coming up again and again. In
a twenty seventeen email to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers,
Epstein writing, I've I've met some very bad people, none
as bad as Trump. Not one decent sell in his body,

(44:05):
So yes, dangerous. In a twenty eighteen text to an
unidentified person, Epstein writes, I am the one who can
take him down.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
And that's scary because you're doing what you're trying to
take him down. Why is that well, because you want
to destroy him and you want to use your opportunity
to blackmail in the whole nine yards and one of
the other things that's striking about this, And people wonder
why this hasn't gotten any more. You know why the
victims have worked quiet for so long as this, that
and the others. When you read the emails. Everybody reads

(44:37):
the emails. Read who the emails were two and you
find out they're to some of the most powerful human
beings on the planet. CIA directors and the presidents of
big colleges, the presidents of countries, the you know, the

(44:58):
the who's who from the Middle East to here, titans
of industry. That's why. But I thought the whole thing
was to expose this kind of stuff, and that's what
it should be about, exposing what is going on. The

(45:19):
victims deserve their opportunity. And I said it last night
and I'll repeat it here again. Why this I think
is going to stick around longer, especially is when the
economy God willing, by the way, I want there to
be nothing untour that Trump did in any of this stuff.

(45:42):
I want the economy to be strong and to rock
and roll. But if the economy slows down and we
start getting ourselves into a situation here where we could
see a serious slow down, maybe into a recession. Think

(46:06):
of the government kind of like a locker room in sports,
when you're winning, Okay, everything is good, even though it
may not be good. So you're winning on the court,
you're winning on the field, but there may be strife
and other stuff. The winning is covering up all the bad.

(46:30):
What happens when things don't go the way that you
think they should go. Ooh yeah, I'll tell you what happens.
All of that stuff gets out. You find out later
on in years, this championship team nobody liked each other.
They couldn't stand each other. They fought inside, but it
stayed inside the locker room. What happens when teams are losing?

(46:52):
Stuff gets outside the locker room. Stuff gets leaked to
the press. I'm not saying this is going to happen.
Would I be surprised if there's a slowdown. We're heading
towards midterms and things look ugly. This is getting louder
and louder. Trump has denied at gazillion things. More and

(47:14):
more stuff leaks out. Next thing you know is health
isn't very good, and maybe he thinks about taking a
step back or moving away altogether. Not saying it's going
to happen, but would I be surprised if that happened. No, No,

(47:36):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Things that.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Like Epstein are going to get louder and louder, especially
if things are getting more and more frustrating in the
economy and in the world. We shall see again. I
don't want any of those things happen, but would I
be surprised if they did? Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty. At Chad Bensons Show is your X,

(48:02):
your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more. We try
to go live every single night best we possibly can.
So if we have a chance to join us on YouTube,
and if you don't go check out the videos anyways,
like and subscribe, then we really appreciate it. When you
do birch gold, there's gold in them their heels. We
talk about gold a lot, and the reason is simple,
because it's a great way to protect yourself right now,

(48:25):
from now until the end of the month. If you
convert an ira or four oh one k into an
ira back by gold with birch for every twenty thousand purchase.
You're gonna get free gold sent to your house. What
that's amazing. Take advantage of this AI. Is there a
potential bubble? Yeah, strife in the world, unsettled times. Yeah,
what happens in unsettled times, people look for safety. Gold

(48:46):
provides that and has for a millennia. Birch is rated
A plus by the Better Business Bureau and they're ready
to help you. This is what I want you to do.
Text the word Benson to ninety eight ninety eight, ninety eight.
Now talk to my friends over there at Birch School.
They're gonna get you out an info kit. It doesn't
cost you anything, just to find out what's going on

(49:07):
and a great way to diversify. And again from now
until the end of the month, you see if you
qualify for the free gold, text word Benson now to
ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight for my friends over
there at Birch Gold coming up a lot of stuff
to get to my buddy' Zach gab Ramchie investment officer
Board Capital, is going to join the program. At the
bottom of the hour, we're going to talk about AI.

(49:28):
We're going to talk about what's going on in the
investment world, and should we be worried about the fourth
quarter and a recession. We'll do that, among other things.
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:49):

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Are you going to get free money from the government
paid for by taxpayer? Dot? Wait? What how's that? What
are they doing?

Speaker 32 (49:59):
I remember how popular those stimulus checks were. This is
an idea that's worked before, ideas that this would help
people again, and who wouldn't want to get a two
thousand dollars check? Did the math on this one for
you too? This is going to cost about six hundred
billion dollars. The President says that the way that you
would pay for this is with tariffs. Well, we know
the tariffs in the best case or the current kind
of run rate, how you would expect tariffs to make
money for the government. It's looking at three hundred billion,

(50:22):
So this is twice as expensive as the money to
pay for them. The question becomes where does that money
come from? And is it ultimately going to come from
taxpayers who are then paying more money to get that
money back at some point?

Speaker 2 (50:33):
So I just want to go over this again. We
are going to this feels a little desperation. A here
send out two thousand dollars checks to people from taxpayers
because it's tariffs. And who pays the tariffs? That is,

(50:57):
the importer, for the most part, pays about ninety percent
of the tariffs. In some situations the exporter will eat
a little bit, but for the most part, a vast
majority is paid for by the importer, who then passes
that on price wise to the consumer. That's us. So
the importer us, the consumer us, and then we're gonna

(51:23):
send us two thousand dollars. Does anybody else find that ridiculous?
What that's huh? And it feels desperate? Oh, and then
the math doesn't math because we're gonna have to double
that to give everybody something. Now they're talking about, well,

(51:46):
if you make under one hundred thousand dollars a year,
or family makes one hundred thousand dollars a year, you're
going to get So we're gonna means test it. Oh God,
that smells of desperation. You know, yesterday I got then
even today I got some pushback, you know on the
text line, I want my money. Well, how about no
tariffs and you save your money when you go consume things.

(52:09):
How about that? How about apples? That are those apples
in that situation? You still get it? No, I do
get it, and I think it's ridiculous three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your ex, your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and
Morphy Missity Show grab the podcast radio on the Chad
Benson Share. I think most people think it's ridiculous. And

(52:31):
then when you find out that that tariff money was
supposed to help us pay down our debt, and then
you find out that we're going to send tariff money
out and it's going to cost double to do that,
it just doesn't make any sense. Now, again, this is
all speculation here because as we know, things can change
on a dime. It's just very interesting. Let me know
what you think. Meanwhile, Tariff for Palooza.

Speaker 8 (52:53):
The deal covers four countries, Argentina, Ecuador, Al Salvador and Guatemala,
with full agreements expected to be signed in about two weeks.
And it's important to note here the deal does not
include Brazil, which provides about a third of US coffee
imports and still faces some of the highest tariffs under Trump's.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Plant that's right. When we're not bombing parts of South America,
which we're probably going to do sooner rather than later,
we're going to tariff them and then take these tariffs away.
People are already saying it's taco time again. Trump always
chickens out. And the reason we're doing this simple prices. Prices,
baby prices are up and a lot of places. The
coffee thing's interesting though, because people love their coffee.

Speaker 32 (53:34):
The White House made an announcement about trade agreements that
would try to bring down the prices of coffee, bananas, cocoa,
some of those grocery prices that have frankly skyrocketed over
the past year. I mean, if you look at coffee
prices alone, they're up about almost twenty percent in the
past year.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
We will see what it looks like. And again, not
signed yet, but they're doing everything they can because they
want to try to bring price is down. And what
we find out is a tariff is just a tax
on America three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is Your ex, your Insta,
your YouTube and more? Speaking of the economy, every buddy

(54:14):
in yours. Zach Abram Chief Vestment Officer f Bulwark's going
to join the programs straight ahead.

Speaker 33 (54:18):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson Show,

(54:41):
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
It is that time of the way. We sit down
and talk to her buddy, Zach Abram ch your investment officer.
But we're Capitol friend of the show, sponsored the show.
And man, there's so much stuff going on. I don't
even know where to start. Uh, it's feeling a little
a little uncomfortable outside. Let's be honest. The government's back,
yeah whatever that means. But the reality is today didn't
look very good. Yesterday didn't look very good. I think

(55:04):
people are a little nervous. AI who knows what's gonna happen.
And oh, by the way, there's no jobs report.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
Yeah, you know what's funny. I was thinking about right
before we got on here.

Speaker 27 (55:14):
And for anybody thinking I'm spiking the football here, they
haven't watched me do this enough, because I'll if I
make any prognostications, especially regarding time frames, those are lucky.
But remember we were having a question about We were
having a conversation about two weeks ago where I just
told you look, man, if you.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Look at the charts.

Speaker 27 (55:30):
I get way everybody's bullish, but I just feel like
this thing is just out for the moment, right, not
like saying, but just it's way overrun. At skiez, I'll
be really surprised if we don't take a five to
seven percent hit before the end of the year. I
think the market's down about two percent since we had
that conversation. Yeah, so I just I look at Bitcoin

(55:51):
breaking below one hundred thousand. Here, I look at the
high flyers like Palenteer in Nvidia getting smashed to day,
which is why we put a short on Palanteer three
days ago. I want to say, I just I this
is a market that's got a lot of soul searching
to do, because you've got valuations that have just really

(56:15):
really outrun the underlying fundamentals, and that's getting more and
more clear every single day. Just you'll hear, you'll hear
financial results from international companies that come around, come around
and are just mind bending good, and the market's response
to them is just muted. And if any American company

(56:37):
says anything about AI, just through the roof, right, like
AI is only going to help, you know, only going
to help tech companies in North America. So and then
and then you look at like you said, no jobs report.
I will say this though, I saw a headline on
the Economist saying that the bottom just fell out of
the job market. Hey, guys, if you have a bottom

(56:58):
falling out of the job market that corresponds with a
government shut down to the tune of like four or
five days, more than likely those lost jobs are temporary
and government jobs. Now we'll have to see, but I
would just say pretty big coincidence if that wasn't the case.
But you know, you still see a lot of signs
of duress. And if this is the beginning of a

(57:21):
stock market pullback, it will hit fourth quarter. Especially consider
it because you know the thing that you and I
have been talking about, which is we are so used
to in America economics and the underlying economy driving the
stock market. But now you have a stock market that's
worth about two hundred and fifteen percent of GDP.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
This will blow your hair back.

Speaker 27 (57:45):
So right now you're running about a sixty five trillion
dollars stock market. If you include all US stocks, not
just the SMP five hundred, you're running about thirty trillion GDP. Historically,
that average has been about ninety to one hundred percent
market cap. Did you do it now, We're like at
two hundred and fifteen percent. Here's the thing that I

(58:05):
don't think a lot of people are paying attention to
a thirty percent stock market pullback, especially when you're trading
at thirty two times.

Speaker 5 (58:13):
Earnings like we are. Now that that is not a
cataclysmic event.

Speaker 27 (58:18):
That is something that on average, you'd expect to see
two to three thirty percent draw downs over any ten
period percent or any ten year period of time. If
you add a thirty percent draw down, now though, that
would nuke an amount of household wealth that is the
equivalent of sixty six percent our entire economy.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
Oh my god, I know.

Speaker 27 (58:40):
I hadn't even looked at it in those terms until
the other day, just because we're not used to the
stock market being this right, this highly valued in relationship
to the underlying economy. Well, think about that. If you
nuke thirty percent or sixty percent or thirty percent of
household wealth, which is the equivalent of sixty percent the

(59:00):
entire size of your economy, that's probably going to cause
some problems.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Yeah, yeah, right, I think it's gonna cause a lot
of problems.

Speaker 27 (59:08):
Yeah, And one of the things that we're saying is, hey,
who what is the biggest consumer retail block in the country.
It's baby boomers, right, and those purchases, especially if you
include purchases they're making for their children.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Yeah, well they own all the assets.

Speaker 27 (59:27):
So this is what we're saying, is I think, really,
before you see economic indicators turned down, and whether that
happens in the next three months, six months, twelve months, whatever,
when it does, I actually think you're going to see
the stock market go down first. And that is what's
gonna you know, because if you've got baby boomers who
are eighty five percent of their monthly income is derived

(59:49):
off of their you know, their securities portfolio, and that
portfolio takes a thirty percent hit, they're probably buying the
kids less stuff for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Yeah, it's going to be interesting talking to Zach Gave.
I'm chief investment officer Board Capital. You know, the jobs,
all the stuff we can sit here and talk about.
But the reality is people are feeling uneasy. Ai. I
mean this week you saw several big companies dump out
all there in video over the last couple of weeks
and it's just been I mean that was really like,
Holy Mother of Goodness, not just a little bit. They

(01:00:21):
got rid of everything. And then I saw Altman. Did
you see the interview where he was like saying, essentially, yeah,
you know, because somebody said, hey, look, you got thirteen
to fifteen billion dollars in revenue and you're a trillion
and a half dollars in debt. How would God's name,
you know, could you ever manage to do anything? And
he essentially said, well, we're at the point now where

(01:00:41):
you know, the government would kind of be our de
facto bank should things. You know, we're too big to fail.
That's got it.

Speaker 27 (01:00:47):
What is that where we argue, Well, what concerns me
about that is he's well connected enough to where I
got to imagine he's not just saying that off the cough, no,
but to say that he's too big to fail, not
at all, not even it's it's not even it's there's
so many other places that have LLL I mean deep

(01:01:10):
sea jumped. No, I mean, that's that's insanity. I think
he wants to be too big to fail for sure.
I think that he might have a good amount of
bureaucrats convinced he's too good to fail. I think that
those bureaucrats might have been encouraged a lot by other
investment bankers and hedge fund managers that want a piece
of the chat.

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
GPT right, But is he too No? I mean it's
that's it's a completely ludicrous assertion.

Speaker 27 (01:01:36):
And quite honestly, when you look at what a race
AI is, you know, I'll be absolutely the winner of
AI will probably be somebody we haven't heard of yet.

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 27 (01:01:50):
Like that's when you think so like I you know,
the old Now somebody might partner with them or buy
a majority stake or or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:58):
But first of all, I don't think there will be
a winner.

Speaker 27 (01:02:02):
But second of all, to sit, I mean, how in
the world is a company with thirteen billion dollars of
revenue of too big to fail?

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Talk? Is Zach Abrahm, chievesment officer, BOWERD Capital uh fourth quarter?
You know, I was talking to my buddy Ken, who's
the news director here in you know, out here in
Nashville and we bs all the time about stuff, and
he says, we were talking the other day and he's
just he says, man, you know, what's weird because normally
I do five stories a week on so and so

(01:02:30):
this time of year is hiring fifty thousand people, one
hundred thousand people. He goes, I don't think I've done
one this year about that. When it comes to the
targets or the walmarts or any of that stuff, it
just seems odd, it does.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
I know what you're feeling.

Speaker 27 (01:02:45):
You see, this is what this is what we've been
saying for the last two to three weeks. And this
is not this is not good databased analysis, so bear
with me. But you know, when you're at a place
where you look at the under lying fundamentals and you
know they are not sustainable of and by themselves. Now
we live in a different age because we have watched

(01:03:06):
unsustainable fundamentals get supported by right government stepping in, central
bank stepping in it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
But when you sit back and you're watching all this stuff.

Speaker 27 (01:03:17):
Going on, and you're watching the exuberance and the excitement
and people throwing money, and you just start feeling, you
kind of feel the underlying setting.

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
Of it just not matching right.

Speaker 27 (01:03:26):
It's almost like it's almost like you've heard the percussion
kind of wander off on their own, and the horn
sections kind of departed, right, You kind of have this schism,
That's what it feels like. And to me, it feels
like to me, it feels like you're in recession now
and the unbelievable capex spending that is going on is

(01:03:47):
masking it. And people are like, oh, that's not enough,
and I'm like, well, okay, so you're talking about a
thirty trillion dollar economy. Okay, so ten percent of that
is three trillion, Okay, five percent of that's one and
a half trillion. You're talking about an economy where we
consider three percent growth healthy levels of growth. Right, So
you've got a capex cycle right now one to one

(01:04:07):
and a half trillion, so effectively five percent of GDP.

Speaker 5 (01:04:11):
That can mask a lot of stuff.

Speaker 27 (01:04:13):
Yeah, and more importantly, to go with what you're saying,
if you told me, if like God came down and
said listen, here's what's going on, that's exactly correct. You're
in a little bit of a recession here and it's
getting covered up by the capex spending.

Speaker 5 (01:04:29):
Doesn't it feel like that?

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Yeah? It does.

Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
It feels like we continue to put a lick of
pain on something and it's just at some point we're
going to go down and there's not going to be
anything more for the paintbrush. And that's that's the you know,
the sense, and you know, and this is a perfect
time Trump this week, you know, talking about this, and

(01:04:53):
we said this about Biden. When you discount people's feelings,
take to me, the most important thing is what does
the consumer feel? And if you ask most consumers, they
don't feel good right now. They feel uneasy that life's
gotten more expensive. And telling everybody the affordability issue is
in your head and it's the greatest economy of all time.
You could say that, but when you go to your

(01:05:13):
bank account, it does not feel or look like it's
the greatest time.

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
Dude, I.

Speaker 27 (01:05:21):
Coach it, well, you know, I coach a fifth grade
football team, and we had our banquet over. We had
our banquet over at my house or party right into
your party, and one by one they kept walking up.

Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
And asking me if they could spend the night. So,
of course, right, I can't. I'm the coach. I can't
tell no.

Speaker 27 (01:05:37):
So I end up with fifteen fifth graders spending the
night and they get up the next morning and my
son asked me, Dad, can I order McDonald's for everybody?

Speaker 5 (01:05:45):
And I go, sure, yeah, get them, get us, make mine.

Speaker 27 (01:05:48):
Don't correct me. I think that McDonald's bill was like
two hundred and twenty dollars two hundred and thirty bucks. Now,
I know most people aren't ordering breakfast for fifteen kids, okay,
but my point was sitting there going, you know you
and I are you.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
And I are above median incomes.

Speaker 27 (01:06:03):
Right, I'm sitting there looking at that, going, Okay, I
understand it's fifteen kids, but it's not fifteen adults.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
Right, And I'm looking around going I'm shocked.

Speaker 27 (01:06:14):
I'm feeling it, right, I'm feeling I'm sitting there looking
at these sticker chargers, going, how.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
Is the how are people?

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
How's the average person to do?

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
Of water Man?

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
We went to the movies on Monday night, so I
took my wife and Charlie went and saw another movie,
and I took the older two kids. We went and
sell the Predator movie. Okay, we spend a little bit
more because we saw the Predator movie in forty but
we got candy and everything. It's two hundred and some bucks, dude,
for five of us to go see the movies.

Speaker 34 (01:06:41):
I know, I don't know how.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
I don't know how the I don't know how people
are doing it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:45):
No I know either.

Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
I mean I know that it feels.

Speaker 27 (01:06:48):
You know again, those kinds of things do not impact
me financially. No, But still sitting there looking at it
and going, we're not even trying to do anything crazy.
Right now, I'm trying to buy lunch. I'm trying to
buy egg but muffins for fifteen kids. Right It's isn't
a big deal. But boy, the stick the sticker prices,
It's unbelievable. Do you start doing the math? Look at

(01:07:10):
what house payments? Car I heard a stat today crowdfunding.
I'm forgetting the name, the main the go funding or whatever, Yeah,
go fund me. He said that they are getting more
crowdfunding campaigns to help people pay with cost of living
expenses than they are tragedies and things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
That's insane.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
Yeah, that is it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
That's crazy. That's crazy. Talk to Zach gay Ranchi, investment

To get educated on the youth of America, to learn
what the youth of America is doing, what they're saying,
because the words matter. And sometimes they say words and
we have no idea what they mean in their context
because we think, oh, we used to use that word,
but they use it different. Oh, yes, they do.

Speaker 35 (01:10:22):
You know what time it is, Know, it's time for
the urban word of the day. The young have a
vocabulary all their own, and we break it down for you.
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
This one's very interesting. I've heard this a couple of times,
clankers and you're like, what that sounds stupid? So the
gen z Jen Alpha. This is what they refer as
a derogatory word towards AI and robots. It's a row.

(01:10:55):
It literally is a robot slur, the so called robophobic slur,
as described by NPR. They're already trying to make robots
some sort of protected group. They call them clankers. What happened, dude?
You didn't hear he lost his job to a clanker. No, yeah,

(01:11:18):
oh my god, that's the worst clanker when you hear that.
Now what the kids are saying, it's about robot, It's
about AI. Clanker is your urban word of the day.
That was the urban word of the day. Now you know,
now you do know, which is always nice to know.
There's no doubt about that clanker. Look, Ai, you guys

(01:11:41):
know I'm a big proponent of it because it's not
going anywhere. The question still is, though, is when will
it arrive for everybody rather than just fun or kids
using it for schoolwork. When does it arrive for everybody?
And I still think at times that's a ways away
it is. And you know, if you miss any of
our interview with Zach, the investment side of it is

(01:12:04):
still very interesting as well. Are we sitting on a bubble?

With the government back in session thanks to that c
R that's continuing resolution to you and I that only
goes out till the end of January. Some stuff got
snuck in there. One of those things was they're gonna

Speaker 25 (01:13:51):
New backlash to the spending bill that reopened the federal government.
The bill is now set to shut down a key
part of the booming HEMP industry. A last minute provision
to the bill closes a loophole that allowed manufacturers to
convert hemp into high potency THHC products through chemical processing
sold with almost no federal oversight.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
And that's an interesting thing. We're gonna get into that
in a second, okay, And the question is, first and foremost,
why is an oversight?

Speaker 25 (01:14:19):
The new provision will cap hemp products at just zero
point four milligrams of THHC for serving a fraction of
what's nearly in all products on the market today. Senator
Mitch McConnell has been leading the charge to close the loophole.

Speaker 5 (01:14:33):
Products more potent than marijuana can be brought bocked off
the shelf of a glass of a gas fash.

Speaker 25 (01:14:42):
More than eighty four hundred children were treated in US
emergency rooms for cannabis poisonings between twenty eighteen and twenty
twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Okay, And of course Dan Patrick, the tenant governor, he
thinks this is the greatest thing in the history that
they took this up so that way we can save
a generation, which is absurd, but whatever. But it's big business,
don't get me wrong. And there's a lot more to
it than meets the eye, but it is big business.

Speaker 29 (01:15:13):
There's twenty eight million dollars in money that flows through
the industry and over three hundred thousand people that are
directly related to employment.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
That's that's big, no doubt. This lady here, she's the
chief operating officer for I think they're called kite like.
It's like a THC infused drink, like a soda. And
the answer straight out, So your business pretty much done?

Speaker 26 (01:15:43):
Yes? This would It could essentially shut down our entire operations.
I'm sure you can imagine with the language as it
is written in the bills. So what we have to
wait and find out now is what our distribution networks
plan is. Are they intending to discontinue sales at this time?
Are they going to continue sales? As we have heard

(01:16:05):
mixed responses from the various distributors in her network. So
we're in a holding game right now, as we have
to wait and see how this snum holds a little.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
Bit and we'll see. Now here's the weird thing, because
she speculated later on in the interview about the people
who pushed this. Because no, and I'll tell you guys
this all right, little snapshot into what goes on when
you and next year we're going to be bombarded by

(01:16:35):
god knows how much so and it's coming fast, you know,
with the midterms and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
Always do this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Look at the end of a commercial, find out who
paid for whatever add it is. And that's important because
she speculated she thought it was the alcohol industry, which
is as we know, they don't like the competition. But
a lot of this push came from big cannabis, big weed.
Why well, big weed's not really being outlawed in this
kind of situation here. Okay, what's going on is this

(01:17:08):
right here is being funded to go after hemp because hemp,
all right, In the twenty eighteen Farm Bill, it accidentally
legalized certain derivatives with less than zero point three Delta
nine THHD. Okay, so you have Delta eight gummies, Delta

(01:17:29):
ten vapes, THHC flower or excuse me, TCA flower, hemp
derived weed that acts like marijuana, but it's federally legal.
So what's that mean, Well, that means gas stations, things
of that nature. You can buy it at what can't
you buy You can't buy weed there, Well, no, you

(01:17:52):
can't buy marijuana. Okay, So what does marijuana do because
you're like they're cousins, right, like they're slowdown. Big marijuana
wants this gone because it's competition. But it's also in
their mind competition is not fair. They don't have to
pay marijuana level taxes. Okay, they don't have to have

(01:18:16):
special licenses, they don't have to operate under strict regulations,
they can't ship across state lines. They can undercut cannabis
dispensaries on price. So yeah, they want them gone. Big
business because most of the big cannabis is real, I
mean it's massive. So these these these grow things, I mean,

(01:18:42):
this is not hemp is mostly mom and pops, smaller
family farms, small processes, a lot more rural, while this
is you know, four to six billion dollars a year.
This has grown in these you know, hemp things. It
is not like cannabis. It's nowhere near like cannabis. So

(01:19:05):
if you can eliminate this, that's a win for you.
And they have out lobbied hemp by so much. And
as we all know, those who have the bigger wallets
get higher in Washington. Look at you did there. Meanwhile, healthcare,

(01:19:29):
it's expensive. Don't worry Republicans have a fix, right, Mike Johnson.

Speaker 24 (01:19:34):
First of all, the Unaffordable Care Act has failed the
American people. That did exactly the opposite of what they
all promised as it would do. The Democrats broke the
American healthcare system. The reason your premiums are skyrocketing is
because they have terrible policies, and one of them is
subsidizing insurance companies. That's what this covid aersubsidy.

Speaker 5 (01:19:52):
Was all about.

Speaker 24 (01:19:53):
Remember, the Democrat Party created this on their own. They're
the ones that put the expiration date on it December
thirty one of this year, because they knew it was
a boondoggle. There was no way they could justify that
being permanent policy. So what we have said is if
there was going to be an extension of that, it
would need massive reforms. You need some income caps on that,
you should not be subsidizing healthcare for wealthy people, and

(01:20:15):
also all sorts of reforms on it. You need you
need high protections on those things and other innovations. So
the Republican Party has known this is going to expire
at the end of the year, as everyone in Congress has.
We were always preparing to work through that in a
deliberty fashion through October November December. But ironically, the Democrats,
because the Shenanigans took a lot of the time off

(01:20:36):
the clock on that for us to do it. So
we're working on it in earnest. It is the Republican
party that will bring down health care costs, not the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
If that was true, you guys would win in more
ways that you can believe. No offense. I don't know
if I believe you. Trump supposedly had a plan back
in the day, and nobody ever heard that plan. The
planning as now is interesting. We'll get to that in
a second. The ACA failed, so Democrats, when I hear
all the Republicans have done this, No ACA failed, but

(01:21:03):
it failed for a long time, and neither side really
addressed it the way they should. So let's be honest there. Okay,
let's just be straight up. Yeah, yeah, we probably should
have figured this out a long time ago. And we
were just talking about big you know, big cannabis. Well,
you know, go over there and take a look at
the world of healthcare. That money also get you a

(01:21:26):
long way in DC. It's funny you take a lot
of money to Hollywood, and you want to start up
movie thing and you want to do all this stuff,
they'll throw you out of there. Well, they used to
do in the past, now anymore because nobody's in Hollywood.

Speaker 13 (01:21:36):
In DC.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
You take a lot of money there and you want
to lobby for something, they welcome you with open arms.

Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
Come on in.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Well, the healthcare industry absolutely has these guys and gals
ready to rock and roll whenever there needs to be
something done, whether it's a one thousand dollars plate dinner
or whatever it is. The money is big. That's one
of the reasons nothing was really addressed. And as long

(01:22:05):
as the government was continuing to throw money at it,
everybody had a smile on their face. Everybody was getting paid.
You throw some money at me, I throw some stuff
at you. You see where we're going with this. So
the ACA failed, and yes, Democrats, that is a youth thing.
And I saw somebody that made the argument. You know,
once Trump came in in his first term and he
got rid of the mandatory you must buy health insurance

(01:22:29):
or pay a fine. That raised rates a little bit,
but not to the point where it was solely the
reason why rates went out of control. The reason why
rates went out of controls because the government kept throwing.

Speaker 6 (01:22:43):
Money at it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
You're going to continue, You're going to if you learn
nothing else about government. Know this, If they give you
a billion dollars, there's no incentive for you to not
spend a billion dollars because if you spend five hundred million,
guess what happens next time you'll get five hundred million.

(01:23:04):
They just rows to wherever you gave the money. And
that's what happened. Now Trump's new plan that he's proposing,
or at least he's thrown out there again, there's probably
one thousand plans is twelve hundred dollars a month into
like in health savings account. Okay, so how it works

(01:23:26):
would be kind of like ebt or voucher, but really
every month you'd get something into something similar probably to
a health savings account, and you would then go and
shop around and try to find the best insurance for
you and your family. Here's the issue. It doesn't fix
the problem of price price is this, hospitals providers monopolies.

(01:23:52):
Seventy percent of US cities have only one or two
major hospital systems. Consolidations crushing it. Hospitals charges three to
six hundred times. Medicare rates, farmer price are unregulated for
the most part, so they're just gonna rise up. You
want to give everybody twelve hundred bucks, We'll rise up
to there. And then what happens will people are gona
raise it because our system is gonna go up. It's

(01:24:13):
not gonna get covered. We're not addressing the issue. We're
trying to throw money at it and not actually taking
a long term look at what should happen. So and
then what you're gonna do is you're also going to
do something. So when it comes to the individuals, because
companies then will cherry pick if they're shopping only wanting

(01:24:36):
the healthy and the pre existing people, well, that twelve
hundred dollars isn't gonna cover anything. So this is going
to be interesting to see how this thing plays itself out.
But healthcare is going to become an issue for the
Republicans if they can't figure something out sooner rather than
later and actually feel like they're working towards something and

gain traction here that this seventeen year old Gates apparently

Speaker 16 (01:29:33):

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Why is that time of the week. Talk to our
good buddy, and you're a good buddy. Jim Kennedy, Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research, Politics, pop culture, We do
it all. We got to talk about it.

Speaker 22 (01:31:34):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:31:35):
The look, whether you believe he did something or didn't
do something, Trump, the pushback that the White House is doing,
the full court press, Jim, is really weird. For a
bunch of people that said deep state Epstein released the files,
they're hiding stuff. And it's the stressand effect.

Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
The more you say don't look, the more people are
gonna look. And he's saying don't look in a crazy
serious way.

Speaker 34 (01:32:04):
Yeah, no, absolutely right, And I think weird is probably
the thing I didn't I did not think this would
still be lingering along because we've been talking about this
for three four months, I think, and I didn't think
this would still be lingering out there, you know, after
the after the shutdown, all of the other things that
have gone on within the Trump administration, on the on
the on the rapidly changing twenty four hour news cycle

(01:32:25):
that they seem to flow through over there.

Speaker 6 (01:32:27):
Yeah, it says my position has not changed on this.
Release it. Move on. I don't care who gets hurt.
I don't care who's in trouble.

Speaker 34 (01:32:34):
If you're in trouble, then you did something wrong and
you were probably doing stuff you shouldn't have been doing. So,
you know, sunlight is the best disinfected. Turn them all
loose and then everybody can move on and the Dems
can go find another topic desure that they can go
whine in and scream about on CNN and MSNBC and
all the various online sources they have to put out propaganda.

(01:32:55):
But yeah, just turn it loose. I said, I don't
care if there's somebody out there who you're protect because
you don't.

Speaker 6 (01:33:00):
You're a donor. You don't want to get in trouble. Tough.
They're in there for a reason. Either they've got a good.

Speaker 34 (01:33:06):
Excuse and they didn't see anything and didn't do anything
and just happened to be, you know, happened to hang
out with him because he was you know, I was
posting somewhere today that you know, this isn't this is
an East coast story.

Speaker 6 (01:33:17):
This isn't a West Coast or.

Speaker 34 (01:33:18):
You're not finding a lot of you know, people are saying, oh,
Kamala Harris is in there. Well, yes, he was in California.
Gavin's on in therell because Gavin was on the West
coast too. It's a it's an East Coast Democrat story,
except for maybe some of the Hollywood people that seem
to seem to get into his sphere of influence.

Speaker 6 (01:33:33):
Outside of that, turn them loose, move on.

Speaker 34 (01:33:35):
That's the only thing you're ever going to do, because,
as we have talked about for three months, this is
not going away. People are not going to decide they're
tired of this. Even with all of the different I mean,
there's been thirty or forty different news topics that have
come and gone within the Trump administration since this started
to come to a boil in the late summer, and
it's still here as we approached winter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

(01:33:56):
So guess what not going away? You're not gonna be
able to wake them out. It's you know, I don't
know how long you want to wait him out, but
there it's going to be here. Just release it and
move on.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
I think, honestly, I have a feeling this thing is
going to get so much uglier. And I've been telling
people I have this weird thing when you go and
look at something like say, for instance, Watergate, it started
small and it was two years before it eventually exploded,
and from the time to the resignation. So I'm throwing
this out there. Take it for what it is. I

(01:34:26):
think if it gets too hot, and I think that
more and more stuff comes out next week, do not
be surprised when they hold that vote that you see
fifty to one hundred Republicans on the floor vote for it,
and the pressure comes to John Thune, and then it's
going to get potentially really really ugly if it goes
up to him. Many vetos it because I think the

(01:34:46):
pressure's going to be there and with his health issues,
and there's a lot of stuff swirling around at that.
I'm just saying, don't be surprised if there's a president JD. Vance.

Speaker 34 (01:34:57):
Well, the one thing is would be I think he
would want to make it through the start of twenty
seven because that way was like the point remember we
were talking at least I was talking about with Kamala,
you know, the joke was that that she wasn't going
to be president at least until you know day, the
day after the midpoint of Joe's term. Because of that way,
then she could in theory serve three terms, remaining Joe

(01:35:19):
term and the two more because that's under the constitution,
if you serve less than a full less than half
a term, you can serve two complete terms in addition
to that. But I don't know if they have the
time if that turns out to be that way for
jd Vance based for Trump to hang on for another
fifteen or sixteen months, you know, I don't Again, the
Biden White House knew what was in this and if

(01:35:41):
it was also damaging to Trump, why didn't they turn
it loose life?

Speaker 13 (01:35:44):
Did they know what was in it?

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
Did they even pay attention by the way, Trump had
this in his first Remember people forget Trump had this
in his first term. Why didn't they kill it then?
Because they didn't think it was going to bite in
him in the ass, and nobody seemed to care.

Speaker 34 (01:35:57):
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't a priority, and it wasn't
something that they're being chirped at how much. It wasn't
that big a deal. I mean, the thing is, this
is their own work. I mean, this is their own problem.
They've made this probably chirping about it so much. Yeah,
if they just shut up and not brought it up,
no one, it probably would have fallen under the radar.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Absolutely. Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
First of all, we don't have any talented people did
not help him the other night. And the second thing
is he's doing the same thing that the Biden administration did.
Stop downplaying people's fears and worries in the economy as
if they are idiots. They're going to their bank accounts

(01:36:35):
after they go somewhere and you know what they find. Oh,
by the way, it feels like life's more expensive. You've
got to message better because this isn't helping him.

Speaker 6 (01:36:47):
Yeah, absolutely not.

Speaker 34 (01:36:47):
Yeah, like you said, they watched the Biden team try
to do this and fail miserably. Now I'm sure Caroline
levit is a little bit better messenger than cringe on
Pierre and then they at the star Jen Pisaki was.
But still, you know, when when they're getting you know,
people to come forward that have saying, you know, people
are probably putting tiktoks out and all that social media
with posting on what the price of meat is, what

(01:37:09):
the you know what what the price of various things are.

Speaker 6 (01:37:12):
Coffee right now is a big one.

Speaker 34 (01:37:14):
Evidently I'm not coffee drinker, buy coffees up a lot
from what I understand. And yeah, so there's lots of
people out there that are posting these things and you
can't just dismiss it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:21):
Oh no, no, no fake news. No, no, it's really not.
For a lot of people, it's not.

Speaker 34 (01:37:25):
And just coming off of the shutdown, while you know,
you could say, in a sense of tru the Republicans
won because the Democrats caved, or at least a lot
of the Democrat the progressive Democrats think the Democrats caved.

Speaker 6 (01:37:37):
That doesn't mean that there still wasn't images.

Speaker 34 (01:37:39):
Out there of them going to the courts and trying
to shut down mandatory snap payments. Out of whatever was
left over in there that can be used for a
good b role for commercials come next midterms. So there's
a lot of potential that even even though the Republicans
technically and I'm doing air quotes won the shutdown, there's
still a lot of fodder there that could be used

(01:37:59):
next year for you know, for commercials.

Speaker 6 (01:38:01):
So they need to be careful of that.

Speaker 34 (01:38:03):
Yeah, the thing is there, you know, the Trump's comment
about you know, we need other people is it was
just silly.

Speaker 6 (01:38:08):
It was just I don't know if he was late
in the afternoon he'd gotten time.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
No, he doubled down on it.

Speaker 6 (01:38:13):
Well, then it's just dumb. It's a self inflicted.

Speaker 34 (01:38:16):
Wound because he's usually he's usually smarter than that, he's
usually better at that. He is usually very good at messaging.
That's part of why he's good as you know, why
he's won the presidence, because he's been as good at
it as pretty much anybody out.

Speaker 6 (01:38:27):
There for a long time.

Speaker 34 (01:38:28):
And I don't know why that, you know, why why
he would do a self inflicted selock get and the
whole thing too is also the six hundred thousand Chinese students.

Speaker 6 (01:38:36):
I don't think that's a smart movie either.

Speaker 34 (01:38:37):
That doesn't seem like that's going to be a win
that such on the American public is going to think
that's a great idea.

Speaker 6 (01:38:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38:43):
Absolutely, talking to the one on only Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research. All right, man, so we
let's let's let's move on to you know, all of
this stuff with the chaos going on there, and it
is you know, you got the economy, got all of
these things. I think Trump is has had some more
than a few unforced airs. But there is one thing

(01:39:04):
that the Republicans before we could ever get to Trump
have to deal with, and that was something that happened
long before Trump got there and needs to be dealt
with sooner rather than later. And you and I have
talked about a lot. It's healthcare. And you can't just
give talking points that we're going to open up the
marketplace for competition and we're gonna get rid of waste,

(01:39:24):
fraud and abuse, and everybody sees their premiums double and
triple and talking points aren't gonna get it over the line.
We recognize the ACA sucks.

Speaker 34 (01:39:34):
Okay, now what Yeah, And it's funny if you go
back and look, because people are bringing up a lot
of clips a President Obama when he was hawking this
thing back in twenty ten.

Speaker 6 (01:39:43):
If I remember properly that.

Speaker 34 (01:39:45):
You know, he talks about, well, you know it's gonna
you know, costs will go down. I mean, and I'm
not talking about the old the classic you can keep
your doctor and you're all going to save twenty five
hundred dollars a year on your premium gibberish that turned
out to be complete and utter garbage. But other stuff
about you know this will lower healthcare cost. No, it
certainly has a lower healthcare cost. You know, we will

(01:40:05):
make up all of Yes, it will be subsidies, but
we will all be made up through new taxes on
healthcare machinery sales, and reduction in freight, fraud, waste, and
abuse that certainly hasn't been that. The healthcare subsidies are
approaching two hundred billion dollars a year annually for a
country that's running a two trillion dollar deficit.

Speaker 6 (01:40:26):
That is not sustainable.

Speaker 34 (01:40:27):
A two trillion dollar year deficit is not sustainable and
an extra two hundred billion that's contributing to that is
certainly not sustainable because all they're doing is basically giving
handouts to the health insurance companies, because that's where all
of the increases have gone.

Speaker 6 (01:40:41):
The average Obamacare payment.

Speaker 34 (01:40:44):
After the subsidies a state fairly stable or gone slightly
up over the ten to fifteen years, but the total
premium has gone up significantly since the government has been
basically writing the check to make the difference up to
the healthcare user is only getting a small increase of
a couple dollars a year on them. That again not sustainable.

(01:41:04):
You know, we don't need to give handouts health insurance companies.
They're doing very well on their own. They're not poor,
they're not going bankrupt. They're not like automakers in two
thousand and eight, two thousand and nine. They're doing just fine.
And we need to cut off the subjects. But the
problem is the Republicans have really failed badly on this.
They have not come up with a good plan. Trump said,
you know, remember they tried to do their appeal back

(01:41:24):
in his first term. Oh, I've got a great plan.
It'll be a beautiful plan. That'd be the best plan ever,
there was no plan. He never shot up with a plan,
and you need to show up with a plan now. Now,
if they can work on something with the idea about
creating health savings accounts that are funded by the government
to where we put half the money in that we're
putting into subsidies, or maybe even less than that, if possible,

(01:41:44):
that's a possibility. But other than just tailing people, you're
going to give them X number of dollars a year
and you can go buy your own health insurance. Isn't
necessarily a plan. It could be the start of a plan.
It could be the framework of a plan, which you've
got a bit basically, you know, complete the plan there.
You don't have a completely fully fleshed out plan. You

(01:42:06):
need to flesh out the plan and basically put all
all the things together. My Healthcare Bill of Rights goes
on to show some of some of those ideas that
you might want take some of the good things from
the ACA, and then you could basically go from there
and it might be able to if you can run
the numbers right, might be able to do some savings
on what we're looking at on subsidizing the ACA worth because.

Speaker 6 (01:42:26):
The ACA is not the Affordable health Care Act. It's
the Unaffordable Healthcare Act, and we've got.

Speaker 34 (01:42:31):
To do something about it because you can't just get
rid of it because there are too many people that remember,
eighty percent of Americans that are on healthcare get it
from those that are under sixty five get it from
their employer plans. So you know, whenever they would talking
about oh, you know so many America, Okay, yes, there
are probably thirty million Americans that are not discounting their
need for health care for health insurance because really that's

(01:42:52):
what that is.

Speaker 6 (01:42:53):
Doesn't provide them healthcare, just provides them insurance to get
the healthcare.

Speaker 34 (01:42:56):
Because you can still go out, if you're indigenous, show
up at at an are, they will treat you, and
the bill goes to the city or to the county
or some municipal organization and you don't have to worry
about paying it. But just to go ahead and just
cancel it, that doesn't work either. So they're probably I mean,
this will be a great win if they can put
together something that works. This could be a great point

(01:43:18):
for the mid terms. We solve the healthcare crisis. Democrats
fifteen years ago created this mess. Republicans solved it. You
might want to vote for us because we fix messes
that Democrats create.

Speaker 2 (01:43:29):
That's it. Jim Kennedy Kennedy insue, Public Policy Research. Brothers

tell you I say it every week. It's been a
hell of a week, and these weeks seems to get longer,
crazier in whack here. I think it's time we take
a deep breath, sit back, relax, and go over again
what the hell happened just this week.

Donald Trump is in the Epstein emails.

Speaker 20 (01:48:04):
These emails proved absolutely nothing other than the fact that
President Trump did nothing wrong.

Speaker 21 (01:48:09):
This email from Jeffrey Epstein saying that Donald Trump spent
hours as one of the victims or because he knew
about the girls, and these are things that should should
bother us.

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
We plenty of talent, and we don't have talent in people.

Speaker 5 (01:48:22):
Now, you don't have, you don't have certain talents, and
you have to people have to learn.

Speaker 2 (01:48:27):

I think there's gonna be some twists. There's no doubt
about that. There's gonna be some twist in the tail,
if you will, when it comes to Epstein the files.
But that has a lot to do also with the economy.
