Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Joe Biden gets to go to a funeral tonight, his
political funeral. Dover. It's done. Think about it. If you're him,
you've been tossed aside, You've been pushed out. What do
you get for it? A couple months ago you were
steadfast staying in this damn thing. You weren't going anywhere.
You were gonna be celebrated. You save democracy, all of

(00:37):
that stuff. Oh cheered the whole nine yards. Tonight you're
gonna be the opening act and then you'll be usured
out of the building. Thank you very much. Here's your
gold watch and all the money that you and your
kids have made. Man, that's gotta be something, doesn't it.

(00:58):
You're done, Thank you. But they're gonna celebrate him like
you could not believe.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Tonight will be a night that we can really celebrate
Joe Biden, and Joe Biden is the guy that we
need to celebrate tonight. And I think tonight will be
a lot of fun because there's gonna be a lot
of love in this arena behind me for Joe Biden
and the job he's done is President of the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Claire mccaskell. There a lot of love for him, Amy klobeher.
There is gonna be so much love for Joe Biden.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
There's gonna be terns of joy when he walks into
that hall.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, tears of joy by everybody but him, who's still
pissed and angry when he has a lucid moment as
anybody would be. You're gone, You're done, it's over, good night,
now bye bye, Ata Levista. Man, I tell you what,
the joyful warriors ready to campaign. But think about how

(01:55):
fast they moved on. Think about how quick they moved on.
Think about it's over like that, Oh man, And you've
been replaced. Not only have you been replaced, you've been
replaced by somebody who I don't think you really get
along with. And the American people wanted you gone. That's

(02:18):
got to be even a bigger kick in the grundle.
The American people wanted this. That is crazy, and they
want the same thing from Trump too. So if you're
out there celebrating on the right, yeah, yeah, no, no,
they want a lot of that too. They wanted younger,
they wanted hip or newer, cooler. It's that moment you realize,

(02:42):
oh too, old to be in the club.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know, our party went through a convulsive, difficult, horndous
three weeks where a man we loved and revered and respected,
who had done an amazing job as president, confronted.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
The reality of polling.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Data and the fact that there was really a kind
of in many ways an erosion of his support, and
everybody really was just trying to accomplish one thing, and
that was to make sure we beat Donald Trump. It
wasn't ever that people didn't love Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It was the threat of.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Donald Trump on the horizon, the fact that he has
actually gotten into a position where he was winning not
only the national vote, but he was winning in the
battleground states. And that was a panic moment. I think
for the Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
This isn't about him, It's about winning him. Like I said,
this isn't personal, Joe, this is business. As they ushered
you out. Oh my lord, Hillary's going to be on stage,
I guess tonight, Mi, sheelle Obama was going to be
on stage and then over to you who will close

(04:01):
the night out tears of joy. Let me tell you
what it's gonna say. A man who brought it home,
Save democracy. Ah, the faughting over him will be tremendous.
Let's hope they get me that big shot in the ass.
He needs to get up there. But I was thinking
about it this weekend, like all the stuff you've done.

(04:23):
And the reason I was thinking about it is because
I there was a guy who worked at seven to
eleven for fifty years and he got an email say
congratulations for working for fifty years at seven eleven from
the Southland Corporation or Everend like the CEO. It was
like it was just like an automated thing, and thinking, essentially,
it's what Joe got. He got an automated email from

(04:46):
the American people, from the Democrats saying thanks so much
for participating. We really appreciate you doing the job, but
we've decided at this point it's time for us to
move on. We wish you all the best in your
future endeavors. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweet
at his text a program. Meanwhile, at the DNC, we're

(05:09):
gonna get crazy protest. God I hope so. I mean,
I'm not rooting for chaos, but a little bit of it.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
Downtown the Loop here has been at a near gridlock
as police secure this area.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
The officers here with their bikes.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
That's the case for about a mile and a half
at least. We've seen a massive presence all around, continuing
to march very slowly, but they are making their way through.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Traffic has been sealed off, and the chance continue to
echo throughout the loop. Lots of chanting, lots of just
all kinds of chaos already outs And you're expecting one
hundred thousand this week, but up to twenty five to
thirty thousand today alone, and it will swell as it
gets towards the end of the week, you know, towards

(05:51):
you know, Kamala and the whole nine. It's going to
swell from there. But are they prepared for it? And
how many different groups are going to be testing, which
will be entertaining, that's the big one. They're Free and Palestine, hundreds.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
Of them stretching down multiple blocks. This is the first
major protest here. Thirty four major events here planned, most
of them focusing on Gaza, demanding that the Biden Harris
administration imposed a ceasefire immediately and an arms embargo on Israel.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, good luck, with that, Good luck with that. I'm
gonna talk a lot about that today. Israel Hamas has
already rejected the latest and Tony Blinket said, essentially, the
chances of this thing coming off where there's going to
be a ceasefire are slim to none because, as we
pointed out in the past, Hamas wants no part of

(06:50):
a seasfire period. Case close, end of story. They don't.
That's not their gig.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
Palestinian prisoners convicted by his ready courts are very very
serious terrorism offenses could be released in exchange for certain
categories of hostages.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
So the details complex. Yeah, it's complex. And every time
that there is talk of some sort of ceasefire, Hamas
changes the game and what they want. And I have
a feeling it's getting to the point now where it's
like as it should be. You're dealing with the worst

(07:29):
people you can deal with who want no seasfire, and
these useful idiots, well they're exactly that. They're useful and
they're idiots. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, So Twitter, your Instagram,
all the other things. Of course, on Friday, Kamala rolled
out our big economic plan. We're gonna get into it

(07:49):
a little bit more deeper, but here's just a snapshot
of some of the fun.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
As president, I will be laser focused on creating opportunities
for the middle class that advance their economic security, stability,
and dignity. Together, we will build what I call an
opportunity economy.

Speaker 9 (08:11):
Whoa opportunity economy that sounds so great, Oh my god,
it sounds like like just the best puppy dots and rainbows, ooh,
unicorns and happiness.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Opportunity economy.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
As Attorney General in California, I went after companies that
illegally increased prices, including wholesalers that inflated the price of
prescription medication, and companies that conspired with competitors to keep
prices of electronics high. I won more than one billion

(08:50):
dollars for consumers. So believe me. As president, I will
go after the bad actors, and I will work to
pass the first to ever federal man on price gauging on.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Food or price gouging, which people ask me over the weekend,
could she really do something like this? It's possible, and
that's why it is frustrating. Right now. If you have
hope of Trump fixing the hot mess that he is
kind of creating for himself at times. You're not a

(09:24):
Trump supporter. I'm a policy guy, all right. This is
about policy. You don't have to like Trump. One person
tweeted at me over the weekend. I'm not voting for
him to be my Valentine's date. No, And I think
you have to look at it in that way, which
is it's not about him. It is about the policy.

(09:52):
But he is the vessel in which this thing is
being delivered. So there's the issue right there. But her
whole insanity of some sort of arbitrary bureaucracy, bureaucratic bs
where they get to come up with some magical we

(10:13):
feel this is too high price. Gouge Baloni is insane.
That's what takes place, As Trump said, the Maduro Plan
in places like Venezuela. Everybody in the world thought this
was a bad idea. Because it's a bad idea. How's
she going to pay for it?

Speaker 10 (10:33):
Let me explain how it's perfectly feasible for Kamala to
give everybody free money. If you'll look at this chart
behind me, you'll see a weather map, and you can
clearly see here that almost every day in the US
it rain and what do we know happens after it rains,
rainbow comes up. What Kamala is planning to do is
when the rainbow comes up, We're gonna have a task

(10:54):
force of people go out to the end of the
rainbow where they will find these kind gentlemen giving out
pots of gold to us. What Kamala is planning to
do is pump these pots of gold into the economy
and back into the hands of the American people. So
y'all need to get woke. Okay, it's time to be
unburdened by what has been.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I think that was sarcasm rainbows. Yeah, this was not
about policy. This was all about politics. We're going to
talk about her speech. What is the reality of any
of this happening? Talk a bit about that as well.
What does Trump need to do because he's got to
do something because what is going on now isn't working

(11:37):
and everybody's saying that. A lot of stuff to get
to today. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
twenty three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter. Hope you

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (13:12):
Flight thirty four to ninety one took off from San
Francisco bound for Jackson Hole Airport, a daily round trip
by the way for a Laska Airlines between the two cities,
and the plane had to then be diverted to Salt
Lake City, Utah. According to reports, the pilot told passengers
he couldn't land the jet because, get this, he didn't
have the qualifications to land at Jackson Hole Airport, the
intended destination here. So here's what the pilot reportedly told

(13:35):
passengers mid flight quote, Hey, I'm really sorry, folks, but
do to me not having the proper qualification to land
in Jacksonville Hole, we need to divert to Salt Lake City, Utah.
We'll keep you posted on the next steps.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh wait, what did our pilot just say he does
not have to land a plane. That's not a good pilot.
That should be the second thing you learned in fly first.
How we get up now, how we get down? Very important?
Both of those are very important. What the hell happened? Well,
here are those next steps.

Speaker 11 (14:06):
So flight ofware data showed the aircraft left San Francisco
ahead of schedule, made a standard approach to jac but
never closed in on the ground. It circled the airport
before darting off to Salt Lake City, nearly three hundred
miles away. The passengers were stuck on the plane for
another ninety minutes while Alaska Airlines tracked down a pilot
who was qualified to then land at Jackson Hole. Now again,

(14:27):
this is all after the SkyWest pilot said midflight he
wasn't qualified to park the plane at the mile high
plus elevated airport that features a short runway.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Okay, short runway. So there's a reason for this. You
know how to land a plane. There's just places you
can't land it because you're not qualified to land said plane.

Speaker 11 (14:45):
Now, Alaska Airlines isn't the only airline SkyWest partners with
major carriers American, Delta and United all used.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
SkyWest pilots as well.

Speaker 11 (14:54):
Now, SkyWest their excuse was they blamed everything on a
paperwork error with the flight crew. We asked retired United
air Airlines pilot Shila Body about the mix up here,
and she said, the pilot and the airline, by the way,
should have known that this pilot didn't have the proper
training to land at that airport before taking off.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
By the way, there is a special pilot.

Speaker 11 (15:12):
In command qualification that is required for JAC that's been
in place since nineteen ninety.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
So yeah, so to land because it's got a shorter runway,
you have to have a special license to land in
certain airports. Okay, so you're good landing the plane. We
don't have to worry about that, But how pissed would
you be on your way to enjoy your little vacation.
Next thing you know, the guy comes on the book. Hello, everybody,
appreciate you being a part of our SkyWest Platinum program

(15:40):
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter tweet atis text
the program out here at the Chad Benson Show. So
I want to let you guys know we're going to
go via Salt Lake City because I don't have a
license to land the plane and the place we're going.
There's that what Oh jeez, flyg is crazy right now?

(16:06):
It is that would piss me off. I think pissed
a lot of people off. I don't. I used to
like to. I used to enjoy traveling, doing all kinds stuff.
I don't look forward to any of it now. I
just look forward to not traveling. I swingared right like
I used to enjoy it. I used to get excited.

(16:28):
And now I look and I think to myself, my god,
all I can think of is we're gonna get delayed.
I'm gonna get stuck somewhere. We're gonna go here, it's
gonna be That's why I didn't go to the DNC.
I'm like, this is just gonna be a nightmare. Plus
with Biden, I thought, eh, had I known it was
gonna be chaos? Are you rooting for chaos? I'm not
rooting for it, but it wouldn't you know, be surprised

(16:50):
that that makes sense? Did you know they're gonna have
an abortion truck? I did know that. How about those apples?
If you would like to get a vasectomy and or
an abortion, They're gonna have a mobile truck out there
just in case you're like, Hey, come for the politics,
stay for the abortion. Chicago three two, three, five, three, eight,

(17:13):
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your
Twitter tweet at us texta program. So much stuff to
get to still on this fun day, and there is
a new rival to the Tiger King that may be
even worse, if that's possible. One of the headlines said,
this will make you feel worse about yourself. I'm like,

(17:35):
that is not something I want to see. We'll talk
about that. A lot of other stuff to get to Chad.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life,

(18:04):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's night one at the DNC.

Speaker 12 (18:07):
WHOA.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I wonder how it's gonna go. It's gonna be exciting,
It's gonna be chaos outside. Is it gonna be some
chaos in the inside. Yes, maybe to all of those things.
I'm still amazed that Biden has to share the stage,
that the guy that saved the world from democracy, that

(18:31):
saved the world from Donald Trump, that they loved more
than anything, he's got to share the stage. Talk about
no respect.

Speaker 13 (18:41):
The DNC starts Monday in Chicago, and it's already shaping
up to be an utter calamity. Let's look at the
speaker lineup. Joe Biden. They are done with him. They're
giving him Monday night. He's not even getting his own night.
He has to share with Hillary Clinton. Now, Bill Clinton,
who left office decades ago. He's getting his own entire
night now. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi still have not spoken.

(19:03):
I don't know if the two are ever going to reconcile.
But this man, he has to show up on Monday
say he loves Kamala, he loves this country. He has
to endorse her. You know, he doesn't want to.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
No, he doesn't. Why should he? He was pushed out,
probably doesn't even know who she is summertime. I don't
think they like each other. I think he's more pissed
at the likes of the Obama still and Pelosi. And
you know what, I don't think Pelosi gis the rats
Ass's business. Baby, That's it. It's just business.

Speaker 13 (19:32):
Another reason the DNC is shaping up to be an
utter calamity is that hundreds of thousands of protesters are
going to descend on Chicago.

Speaker 14 (19:39):
Now.

Speaker 13 (19:39):
Outside of the United Center in Chicago, they are putting
up fences and walls, so at least Kamala Harris can
admit that wall's work. This goes to show you that
the Democratic elite love walls when they're speaking at a convention,
but when it comes to the southern border, they're going
to turn a blind guy.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Ah, look at that. That's funny. It is funny. They're
putting up walls though, right. I mean, they don't work,
but they kind of work.

Speaker 13 (20:00):
Something else I didn't see coming at the DNCN is
that they're going to have a bus from Planned Parenthood
driving around giving free abortion and free vasectomy. Now, as
a man, I personally would not get a vasecta me
in a bus swerving around Chicago going down Michigan Avenue,
but you do you. I don't know if Kamala Harris
is going to see these buses, but I imagine this
is what her reaction will be.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
There round, Oh, that's funny. The wheels are the bust
round round. Just her speech on Friday and what she
wants to do should be it. That's it, it's over.
You finally said something, and what you said should scare
the crap out all of us. But in politics, especially nowadays,

(20:42):
it's about populis. Tell everybody that you can all of
the things that they want will come true, like you're
a genie and that magically you can make all of
these things happen, even though you've been the genie somewhat
for the last three and a half years and no magic.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
As president, I will take on the high costs that
matter most to most Americans, like the cost of food
with many of the big food companies are seeing their
highest profits in two decades, and while many grocery chains
pass along these savings, others still aren't. Look, I know,

(21:22):
most businesses are creating jobs, contributing to our economy and
playing by the rules, but some are not and that's
just not right, and we need to take action when
that is the case.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, but who gets to decide to take action? Great question?
Right on Friday, we talked about Catherine Rample, who writes
for the super conservative Washington Post. They're not conservative. Oh yeah,
and she destroyed this plan before it was ever announced,
and then CNN goes, let's bring her on, find out
what she thinks.

Speaker 15 (21:55):
The particular way that this is written, which is likely
to be the template for any proposal that Harris would
eventually Embrace is especially bad in that it just bans
excessive prices, grossly excessive prices, grossly excessive profit margins, and
says that the Federal Trade Commission can use any metric

(22:16):
it deems appropriate to decide what that would would mean,
which basically says like, it's not going to be markets.
It's not going to be supplying demand that's determining how
much your grocery store charges you for milk or for eggs.
It's going to be some bureaucrat in DC, which seems
like totally unworkable.

Speaker 10 (22:37):
First of all, for.

Speaker 15 (22:39):
The FDC to be deciding like how much Kroger charges
for eggs in Michigan.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now you're missing the point, mis rample, You're missing it.
Tell me more.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Kamala plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that
exploit crises and break the rooms, and we will support
smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the
rules and get ahead. We will help the food industry
become more competitive because I believe competition is the lifeblood

(23:13):
of our economy. More competition means lower prices for you
and your families.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Absolutely, I'm huge free market. Let it roll. So if
it's a free market, then you guys shouldn't be involved
at all. The free market will take care of itself
when you get involved. Government not as free as it
used to be. And we find out that in many
cases we have less competition because you put in so
many onerous regulations that making it virtually impossible for small

(23:44):
business to jump into things. That's what happens is repell
Do you have anything to say to that from the
Washington Most.

Speaker 15 (23:52):
We've seen this kind of thing tried in lots of
other countries before Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, etc. It
leads to shortages, it leads to black markets, you know,
plenty of uncertainty. And beyond that, the specific way this
bill is written might actually increase prices because of some

(24:14):
of the other language in it, things like requiring companies
public companies to disclose in their quarterly reports, their quarterly
earnings reports, how they're setting prices, which is a great
way to help them collude, which normally we don't want
them to do. So anyway, you know, the devil's in
the details. I guess for that bill, but it's really
hard for me to imagine any form of legislation that

(24:38):
preserves the spirit of what she's proposing that would not
be you know, at best, do nothing, at worse cause
a lot of harm.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, Yet to find an economist that thinks this is
a good idea. And the twenty five thousand dollars. Everybody's
getting twenty five grand if you're a first time homebout right,
everybody gets twenty five grand. What do you think it's
going to happen to prices? And we're going to talk
about real estate because something changed in the real estate
market over the weekend that has to do with whether

(25:07):
or not the sellers will cover the buyer's broker commission
and what that could mean for you. But you're just
handing out money, just doing this. I had so many
people go, ah, it's no big deal. She could never
get this done. Remember, she wants to kill the filibuster.
If they win the House and the Senate and she's president,
they killed the filibuster. Could some of this stuff happen?

(25:29):
Bet your candy acid could one hundred percent. That is
why this is an important election. And killing the filibuster
is scary because once you kill the filibuster, as we've seen, right,
So sit here and we talk about what goes on
in the Supreme Court and the chaos, and we never
get sixty votes anymore. And it's now just because because

(25:52):
somebody Harry Reid, decided to pull the nuclear option, he
got rid of that portion of it. So it's now
just basically a majority of vote in doing so what happens, well,
once you get that majority vote, that's it. If you
did that for everything, the extreams that we would have
in this country would be insane because we would go

(26:13):
from one extreme to the other extreme, because we would
see people that we vote and think, oh, they're gonna
be fine, and then they would do something like, hey, Joe,
we needs a simple majority in the Oh my god,
and then we go ah, and we'd vote them out
and then it would go to the other side. And
the fact that we had at times Kirsten Cinemas, the

(26:34):
Joe Manchins of the world that were very uncomfortable with it.
I think the further we get away from those, the
more likely it's going to be. We're gonna find some
people that are willing to absolutely go along with killing
the filibuster, which cannot happen three, two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Penson Show, to Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things. Tell you what,

(26:55):
it's just nutty to think that that you're been talking
about this wacky stuff like this price controls? Are you
kidding me?

Speaker 16 (27:08):
Like?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Have you not seen? I don't know how many Venezuelans
do we have? Now over a quarterhom have left their
own country. Why they have price controls. It's not working
out for them? Nope, it's not. And you're running at that.
But so much of this is just about singing the
happy song of being that joyful warrior, and which I

(27:32):
always thought was kind of weird, right, Like if you
saw a joyful warrior getting ready to go to battle,
you think that guy's disturbed. He looks pretty happy that
he's gonna cut guy's ears off and wear him around
his neck. But he's singing a song doing it, So
that's good news. But that's what this is. Appeal to

(27:55):
the lowest information voter by telling them you're going to
grant their wishes. I'm gonna grant you your wish. I'm
gonna make the rich people pay for everything, because they're
evil and bad and In doing so, I'm gonna make
you happier and everything's going to be better for you,

(28:19):
and you owe it all to me.

Speaker 17 (28:22):
This is price controls by any other name. It's like
a sheep in sheep's clothing. It's price controls because it's
price controls. But here's the thing. I mean, we know
how bad that turned out for Nixon. Price control has
never worked in Russia, Soviet Union, Venezuela, or Cuba.

Speaker 18 (28:38):
They never work.

Speaker 17 (28:38):
They cause shortages, they cause black markets, and eventually they
cause higher prices because the controls are lifted because people
are yelling about shortages. But no one really knows what
she means by price gouging. There's no definition.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
That doesn't have to be. You just have to tell
everybody I am here to make the meanies pay, and
I'm going to be your sheriff in town to take
care of this. That's it. Even if you know you
can't pull any of this off, and even if you
know that doing these things and I'm not quite sure

(29:15):
she does know that doing these things would be better good.
I don't think she knows that, but she may believe it.
But all you have to do is convince them. I'm
going to fight the fight for you. You don't have
to worry about things. I got your back, and that
includes giving you everything you ask for because I am
your genie. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Speaker 5 (30:57):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Long about staying power.

Speaker 16 (31:01):
The latest installment of the forty five year old movie
franchise Alien Romulus top the box office this weekend, earning
an estimated forty one and a half million dollars.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I have no idea how to say it alone.

Speaker 16 (31:11):
With Disney Studios not to be outgun scored a respectable
second place finish with Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine earning twenty
nine million in its fourth weekend in theaters and the
romantic drama. It ends with US landed in third place
with twenty four million in ticket sales.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Not bad, so wait, hold on a second. It ends
with us Blake Lively married to Oh Yeah, Deadpool Ryan Reynolds.
Not a bad couple weeks for them. Speaking of Deadpool,
which I enjoyed thoroughly, even though that lady last week
said it was the Devil or something. I don't know, however,
destroyed your children again. I want to remind everybody, don't

(31:52):
take your children to see this movie. Fifteen year old,
sixty year old fourty. That's fine, there's no sex or
anything in, but I'm just letting you know it's a
very violent movie. Okay, speaking of Deadpool.

Speaker 8 (32:03):
Though, Deadpool and Wolverine saying bye bye to Joker as
it becomes the highest grossing A rated film of all
time worldwide. Lass go with God Deadpool and Wolverine with
a box office take so far of one point eight
six billion dollars in its first twenty three days in release.
Joker topped out at one point zho seven to nine billion.
They're the only two billion dollar A rated films. It

(32:23):
also marks an important course correction for the Disney Marvel universe,
the first Disney Marvel film to hit a billion dollars
since Avengers Endgame in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, this is and it's got a lot more legs.
I mean, it's still cranking out thirty million bucks. This
thing's going to bring in god knows what. I wonder
if they're gonna do another one. I wonder if I
bet Yeah, speaking of money, you guys didn't know. So
we talked about real estate earlier because Kam was giving
everybody a lot of money. Well some people, not everybody. Uh.

(32:56):
The way that things are working now in the real
estate world has changed. Changed over the weekend. The way
that buyers agents get paid is a big deal changed
over the weekend.

Speaker 20 (33:10):
Beginning today, the way she and agents across the country
get paid is changing. Any commission for a buyer has
to be done upfront while you are submitting an offer.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
This is cute.

Speaker 20 (33:24):
Would be buyers as part of a four hundred and
eighteen million dollar reeltor anti trust settlement will have to
sign a payment contract before an agent even shows them
a home. It is supposed to be better for the
buyer for transparency sake, and that's fine.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
We want to be transparent.

Speaker 20 (33:40):
Home sellers no longer have to offer compensation to the
buyer's agent. Typically the seller has paid the commission that
is usually split between the listing and buyers agents. Now
the home buyer could have to cover that cost.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Oh, making things more expensive in a time when things
are far more expensive, as we know as the American
dream seems to be slipping away from a lot of
people out there. Even though you may be making great money,
it's too expensive. Now we're going to have to cover
something else. And the way it's going to work in
some areas is even for the buyer to show you

(34:18):
a home, you may have to sign a contract. That
contract may be only good for twenty four hours, may
be only good for a few hours. But that way
there is an understanding that if you go and you
purchase the house, that you know exactly what you're going
to be paying. It's more transparent, it's upfront, so the
buyer now may be on the hook for something that

(34:40):
normally they weren't on the hook for.

Speaker 21 (34:41):
The realtor will be able to talk about the services
that they will provide, and the consumer can negotiate how
much they are willing to pay for the services that
are being provided.

Speaker 20 (34:51):
These commissions can add thousands of dollars for buyers hoping
to find something affordable. Redfin says nearly one in ten
homes nationwide is valued at at least a million dollars.

Speaker 22 (35:02):
Find a really good realtor who can kind of help
you through all the steps of the process.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, nationwide, almost ten percent of homes or a million dollars.
My goodness, that's expensive, Oh lordie. Three two three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your Twitter tweet at us? Text the program right

(35:29):
here on the Chad Benson Show. More on what's going
on at the d NC, more about Biden.

Speaker 23 (35:40):
President Biden will be sent our stage giving a primetime
speech to make his case for Harris.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
I very much consider us theander dog. We have a
lot of work to do to earn the vote of
the American people.

Speaker 23 (35:50):
A new poll shows Harris leading former President Trump in
a head to head match up, with a six point
lead among likely voters.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, but that's nationwide and we don't vote that nationwide.
But we're gonna talk a bit about Biden himself. All
the stuff that he did throughout his life really culminates tonight.
It's over, it's done with. Yeah, he's got a few
months left as president. But being brushed aside, I'd be
a little pissed too. Three two three, five three eight
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter tweet at us Text the program. Happy Monday,

(36:18):
it's Chad Benson job.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life,

(36:49):
this is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
It's about policy, not personality. It's about policy that matters now.
Unfortunately we live in a time when personality seems to
matter more than anything else. Trump has an issue, and
for those of you who don't think he does, and
I spoke to several of you over the weekend, mad
at me because I'm being honest, Trump has an issue.

(37:13):
First of all, he's old. He wasn't old against the
last guy, but it's definitely noticeable. Still spray comparatively to
most seventy eight year olds, but it's noticeable. The other
thing is he's Trump, which is what got him to
where he is. But at the same time, it's also
a situation where the ceiling for the most part, because remember,

(37:35):
even though it's about policy is what it should be about,
the reality is personality is really hamstringing the opportunity to
grow the tent. They'll take it from me. There's a
lot of people out there that feel this way. Not
dissing Trump, I'm being honest with you. I could feed
you bs. I'm not going to do it. I'm not

(38:01):
it's not who I am. I like Trump's policies, I do.
I like the Republicans' policies, the Conservatives' policies. That being said,
doesn't mean they can pull them off. Doesn't mean any
side pulls anything off the right way. We know that.
But if you want to win, you're gonna have to
figure something out. If you want to win, you're going

(38:22):
to have to change the way that you approach this
situation because you are not doing a good job. That
being said, Just like we'd say with Biden, as much
as Trump was disliked in all of the things, he
was still beating Biden, and on the opposite side, as

(38:45):
much as Trump is still disliked and now Kamala is loved,
it's still kind of a dead heat. But it shouldn't be.
You have somebody talking about insane things that they do
in Venezuela, like price gouging. We're gonna set up bureaucracy
and a certain agency that's going to monitor prices. We're

(39:06):
gonna hand out all kinds of money. We can go
on and on about a lot of this insane stuff
that she's talking about, which is very popular, but a
pipe dring you would hope, But you're going to have
to figure something else out. And this isn't just about
Donald Trump. Think about the down ballot tickets. Think about

(39:29):
those things. What happens if not only let's say Trump wins,
but down ballot lost loss, loss, loss, You lose the Senate,
you lose the House. What are you thinking to have? Oh,
that's not good. No, this needs to be a collective
fight that doesn't have name calling, that is not about

(39:54):
being popular, but about exposing the insane ideas and paulus
but Trump is the Republican party, period, case closed, end
of story.

Speaker 24 (40:06):
Okay, so you heard me talking with Senator of Vance
there about where they are in the polls. He says,
they've got the message, they're going to win. Here's another
Fox News poll we have out this week. How do
you feel about how things are going in the country?
Sixty five percent say they're dissatisfied. So Brent, knowing that
and knowing in this setup, Trump is the challenger.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
Why is he not doing better?

Speaker 18 (40:26):
Because he's Trump?

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Boom that right there says it all because he's Trump.
You don't like this has nothing to do with Trump.
It's about our ideas first, their ideas are our ideas
better for everybody? I say yes. But the person who's

(40:55):
the vessel, the person delivering the message, isn't the same
person from twenty fifteen and sixteen. He isn't, so don't
tell me he is. He's all over the place. He
is long winded at times, and I don't think his

(41:15):
surrogates do a good enough job selling what's going on
out there and how to differentiate policy from personality, because
that's what they're making this and you can't. You can't.
But even like I said, with all of that being said,

(41:36):
Trump is still in a position to win, and anything
can happen.

Speaker 18 (41:41):
The past eight to ten years have been about Donald Trump.
Everything has been about Donald Trump. I don't think that
the Democrats would have let Joe Biden get as far
as he did if it wasn't if the party hadn't
been confident that the the Republicans going to nominate Donald
Trump again, which the Republicans did. The fact that Biden
was doing even well as he did until the very end,

(42:02):
his testament to the fact that Donald Trump. He has
a very hard, solid base of support, but it never
gets above about forty to forty five percent, maybe a
little more at best. So his weakness is the predicate
for our politics. Going back three now three elections, he
was able to surmount Hillary Clinton, a uniquely unpopular opponent,
but he couldn't be Biden. And you know, you look

(42:23):
at the losses in the midterms, well he was or
the disappointing results in the midterms, it's all about one thing.
It's about the Donald Trump, no matter how enthusiastic his
supporters are. Nonetheless, it's not a majority candidate. He might win,
but he's not a majority candidate.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
And that's an issue. This should be a landslide. If
this was Nicky Haley versus Kamalin, We're not having this conversation.
Nicky's up by she may win forty states. She may
win forty states. And let me ask you guys this,

(43:01):
and I want you to be honest with me. Maybe
I'm wrong here. It's possibility, been wrong before and I
will be wrong again because I'm a human being. Is
this about Trump or is this about winning? Because if
this is only about Trump, well then there you go.
But if this is about changing the course of where

(43:23):
the country's going, there's going to have to be serious
conversations about how you do that in the next seventy
plus days. I still think there's a great chance. I
think it's a coin flip. But should it be when
you got seventy percent of America going we're going in

(43:45):
the wrong direction. We're going in the wrong direction. Should
it be even this close? No, it shouldn't. And part
of that is the person who is the messenger, who
delivered a message that everybody enjoyed hearing, even if you
didn't like him as a person in twenty sixteen, because

(44:10):
it was refreshing and it was honest. The acts gotten old,
it's gotten stale, and people are frustrated. The message should
be our policies are better, and yeah, you're going to
have to dumb it down for people. Look, you go
in that direction, less freedom, higher prices, more of what

(44:34):
you've got right now, and the chance of being dragged
into wars across the globe because our leaders are not
strong enough, instead of sitting there talking about whether or
not you're better looking than her.

Speaker 25 (44:51):
Well, first of all, he does listen to a lot
of people, but the first he listens to is the
inner voice, and we see it in these rallies, which
are particularly undisciplined form of communications. Look, think about it.
Two thirds of the American people think we're going in
the wrong direction. He leads on the issue of who's
better on the economy, who's better on inflation, immigration, That's

(45:12):
all all good numbers for him, and yet this grace
today he's behind.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
And why is he behind?

Speaker 25 (45:17):
Because he is making this race about things other than
the three big issues in this campaign, the economy, inflation,
and immigration. And you know, he can go out and
touch on those things, but he will say something in
sindiary or something will pop up dismissing medal of honor winners,
you know, saying the economy is not a major issue.

(45:38):
He obscures his message because he's fundamentally on disimal.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Fundamentally undisciplined. And it's frustrating because I look and I
think you are taking something that should be easy and
you're making it way too difficult. All that being as said,
all that being said, the race is still up for grabs.

Speaker 25 (46:06):
Having said that, this race is tight as a tick
and will remain so. There has been great movement towards
the Harris campaign between July twenty first and today.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
But think about this.

Speaker 25 (46:17):
If you take the real clear politics, average of the
battleground states, Trump leads in Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia,
and the real clear politics average Harris leads in Arizona, Michigan,
and Wisconsin. That leaves the race at two hundred and
fifty seven electoral votes for Trump two hundred and sixty
two for Harris, and the decision to be made in
the state that is tied Pennsylvania with nineteen electoral votes.

(46:38):
This is going to be a race right to the end,
and the more disciplined campaign is going to be the
campaign that win.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
And the one thing that Democrats have is they have
a machine. They have a machine that is spot on.
And Trump has put together an amazing ground game that
he didn't have in the last two elections. He has
got more people around him to understand. The reality is
she'll listen, and I don't think he can. I don't

(47:09):
think he can stop himself. So you're gonna have to
be able to draw her out to talk about things
like fracking, like why she's changed her ideas on this,
like why she runs to run with these crazy socialist proposals.
You're gonna have to do that. That's why the debate

(47:32):
is the most important thing that you have in front
of you, because it may be the one time that
you'll have a chance to expose her. It may be
that because there is no second or third debate right now. No,
she may want one if things go to hell in
a handbasket, but if she holds her own, why would

(47:58):
she give him another one. She'll do some softball interviews
and that'll be that. So you have to take the
message to the people, and it should be about them
and not why you're pissed at the world. It should
be about them and not why the last election was
stolen from you. It should be about them, not you.

Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 26 (49:46):
Folks become delegates at their state party and then they
come to the national convention and they're either committed to
the candidate, to one of the candidates, or not. In
our case, we're not committed because we haven't heard what
we've wanted to hear. Looking for a ceasefire, we're looking
for a strong commitment on ceasefire. We're looking for an
arms embargo for US to stop sending weapons that are
contributing to the genocide there.

Speaker 27 (50:06):
Nobody wants to see Trump in November. We are a
very anti fascist movement. We are actually doing what we
can to say the Democratic Party by saying, listen, VP. Harris,
there is a key base of over seven hundred and
thirty thousand anti war voters who are telling you that
we want to turn the page on plus of policy
and save Palestinian lives.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Yeah, good luck with that, by the way, And he's
not a fascist. Will you settle down with your dumb
ass fascist. He's a fascist?

Speaker 16 (50:29):
Is he?

Speaker 28 (50:30):
Is he?

Speaker 29 (50:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
He's a fascist. How's he a fascist? Tell me explain
to me how he's a fascist? This coming from a party,
by the way, seems to be totally fine with let
the Jews die. So insane, and it's funny. It's like
you're sitting there and you're saying to yourself, what would

(50:51):
you like America to do? It's not our war, but
you're funding it. Okay, we give him weapons, and by
giving weapons, they buy one. But what would you like
us to do? Because they rejected another seasfire and another plan,
they only want the plan that they want. Continue to

(51:12):
tell you this over and over again. They're not interested,
but you are the useful idiots that these people love.

Speaker 12 (51:19):
What do you want to hear from Harris in Chicago
this week?

Speaker 30 (51:23):
I want to hear from Vice President Harris. How is
that she's going to turn a new page on Dalza
policy from the destructive and disastrous policy of the last
ten months to one that saves lives.

Speaker 26 (51:35):
You got to meet Harris briefly in Michigan.

Speaker 31 (51:37):
I told her that we need a policy ship that
will save lives in the Huzza. My community is telling
me that they're losing tens and hundreds of their family members,
and she said it's her more. We have seen more
empathy and compassion from Vice President Harris, but that is
not enough. Palasinian children can't eat words.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
They cannot they can't eat words. We recognize that, and
it's simple. Here's the plan. Lay down your arms, get
rid of hamas. Live in a modern world, in a
modern society, those are the choices you have otherwise face
what you're facing now three two, three, five, three eight,

(52:16):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It's
your Twitter tweet at as texta program right here on
the Chad Benson Show. And remember this is about oppressor
and oppressed. They don't care about what's going on throughout
parts of Africa. They don't care about what's going on
when it comes to what's happening in Ukraine. And the

(52:38):
reason is simple skin color. They look at the Jews
as white people that are oppressing these brown people over here.
That's what this is. This is very interesting this weekend
as Chicago gets ready for the fun that will be
the DNC. This is an Alderman talking about the Democrats
talking about what's going on when it comes to immigration.

Speaker 32 (52:59):
Well, I think that our Democratic leader are doing a
fine job trying to portray the entire party is being
unified behind the Vice president. But I can tell you
the rank and file, the average Democratic homeowner, particularly within
the African American and Latino community, have many questions, particularly
as it relates to the migrant crisis. This is something
that has burned both of those communities for different reasons.

(53:22):
African Americans wanting to know when they needed investment dollars,
there was no money to be had, but when the
migrants came, six hundred million dollars this year alone appeared
one point three billion in the year before. Latino voters
in particular, many of those undocumented who were promised DAKA
in a path out of the shadows, wanting to know
what happened to them as they see eight million people
claim asylum fraudulently in order to gain access to this country.

(53:45):
Those two demographics are core Democratic Party demographics voting bases,
and neither of them are getting answers from Kamala Harris
right now, even though she was in charge of the border.
And I don't think that will be forgotten come November
unless they come up with an answer as to why.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
We know the why. We're gonna talk a little bit
about that. A lot of stuff still to get to obviously,
d NC Big Week, Biden, think about all the stuff
you've done throughout your life and tonight, for the most part,
this is it. You're missing the show, Grab the podcast.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Joe, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
This is Chad Benson, I'm.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Leaning towards Trump, and why is that? A lot of
the stuff Kamala.

Speaker 29 (54:45):
Says is kind of like what Trump has had, Like
no taxes on tips was something that was kind of
reiterated by Trump beforehand. She's just kind of been caught
up in a lot of lies.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
That is a person of color. What Yeah, that's a
black woman who's like, yeah, I'm leaning towards uh Trump?
What why because I'm not buying what she's selling And
here's a bunch of crap. But yeah, it's a bunch
of crap. That's what a lot of people, I think

(55:20):
realize who are somewhat somewhat attuned to what is happening
in the world of politics, pay attention a little bit more.
Maybe even some people that shop. Oh yeah, yeah, people
who shop. That is a big deal because people are

(55:42):
out there going, oh yeah, I paid a lot for this.
I'm not quite sure I want to pay a lot
more for this in the future. I think this is
about where I'd like it to be. People are frustrated,
not just you know, it's all Chad, that's one. No,
I don't know if you guys saw this. Don Lemon
went down to New Jersey kind of a bluestack. Talk
to people about, Hey, who you voted for here in

(56:04):
Jersey Atlantic City? Where do you support Trump? For the wing?
Who do you want Trump? Why don't you like her?

Speaker 9 (56:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Trump an experience? Well I want Donald Trump.

Speaker 33 (56:12):
I just feel we need somebody that has a stronger
background with the military in the world in general.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
If you're in a gambling town, who's your money on?

Speaker 18 (56:19):
Four years ago?

Speaker 2 (56:20):
It was a lot better. I made a lot more
money than I do now.

Speaker 16 (56:23):
I know you feel that way, but that's not actually
what the record shows.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
The economy is actually better under Biden. No, I'm serious.
What's the fact. Well, no, that's not because I watched
the in it. Uh no, it's because the economy. How
do we gauge the economy? Well, if you gauge it
is the stock market higher. Yeah. The job thing, that's
a wash. Why is that because saying you brought back

(56:47):
fifteen million jobs? Was it true when you told everybody
in the nation before that they all have to stay
home because of COVID So that's you didn't create any
new job. So the economy, if we're just going to
do it on the matrix of the you know, markets
doing great, gangbusters fantastic. Inflation, though, is part of the economy.
And so while you may have gotten a ten percent

(57:09):
raise or even a fifteen percent rays over the last
three years, inflation's up thirty percent. So therefore you're down
fifteen percent. In your world. The economy's not good. Trump
or Harris Trump, that's who's gonna win. That's who's going
to win. Who are you support? I'll support Trump. All
the people that came to this country legally. Is not

(57:30):
fair that they're letting all two thousand people here it legally.
Have you seen San Diego? They're coming off the boats
off the water right here, off the ocean. Did you
know Biden with flying the men? Did you know Biden
with flying the men?

Speaker 5 (57:43):
Did you You didn't know that?

Speaker 33 (57:44):
I know nobody likes them, but we had good times
with Donald Trump. Our economy was good, life was good.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Did you know the economy is better under Biden than Trump. Well,
that's to the fact show.

Speaker 33 (57:53):
Well, you know what, I don't know where they're getting
their facts, but I don't think they're valid.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Yeah, I agree. Hey, I did well under Obama, I
did really well under Trump doing okay, over Biden. But
here's the other thing. I've always said this, the government
will be a bigger pain in your ass and a
bigger roadblock. The end of the day, it's still up
to you to be the person that can overcome those roadblocks,
those obstacles. It's still a you thing, but they can

(58:24):
make it tougher. And you know, Don Lemons, oh bit's
better statistically, Well, if that's true, then why is it
credit card debt the highest we've ever had it? That's
the next bow that's going to happen. That a financial world.

(58:46):
It is a financial world. It is it is it is.
You go look it up in the financial a dictionary.
Is it word? The other side of it is again,
you got the inflation side of things, the credit cards,
the high interest rates. We can go on and on.
So you've got seventy percent of America. Thanks for going

(59:06):
in the wrong direction. You could tell everybody you should.
You should. Economy's great, It's never been better. And by
the way, I want the economy to be good. I
don't care who gets credit for it. It's not a
big deal to me. For some people it is, but
for others it's got to be my team. But I

(59:27):
think most people, we just want the economy to be good.
We wanted to be solid and steady. But listening to
sour Lemon there, as Anthony put it, on the uh,
on the on the sheet. Now, did you know how
much better it is for who? Because the average person
isn't feeling it. The average person's feeling like they're getting

(59:48):
kicked in the grandle h Uh. The Chicago folks very
excited about big doings right in Chicago hosting the DNC.
They hosted it once New sixty eight. Things didn't go

(01:00:08):
very well seven days writing, I don't know if we're
going to get that, although there will be a lot
of protesting going on. But there's a great article in
the Wall Street Journal about education in Chicago because they
want more money shocker. And the head of the Chicago

(01:00:28):
Teachers Union, she Stacy Davis Gates, was on a radio
program talking about you know, hey, be cause kids they're
reading is not very good there. In fact, everything there
is awful when it comes to what is going on.

(01:00:50):
I mean we're talking, we're so like, you know, they
look at eighth grade math reading. The data shows that
in twenty twenty two, nine percent of Chicago's black eighth grader,
we're proficient in reading four percent, we're proficient in math.
That means one thing, kids, racism.

Speaker 34 (01:01:09):
When people talk about achievement. As a classroom teacher, I
know that it is not linear. And the way in
which you know, we think about learning and think about
achievement is really and truly based on testing, which at
best is junk science rooted in white supremacy. Now, if
you have another hour, I can get into white standardized

(01:01:31):
tests are born out of the eugenics movement, and the
eugenics movement has always sought to see black people as
inferior to those that are non black.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Oh who started that eugenic smith? It was her name,
Market Sanger. Then she went down and start playned parenthood
because her goal is to abort as many black babies
as possible. But they give out an award for her,
and testing is white supremacy. Testing is white supremacy. Excuse me, Yeah,

(01:02:10):
proficient in reading eighth grade black students, four percent in
math for eighth grade black students. You don't care about
these kids at all. By the way, her kid, she
passed all the stuff, she got through, all the testing,

(01:02:32):
she did, all the things with the college at the
whole nine yards. Her kid goes to private school.

Speaker 34 (01:02:38):
By the way, when people talk to me about testing alone,
you know I have to I have to trouble the
waters and challenge that because you can't test black children
with an instrument that was born to prove their inferiority.
It just can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Excuses excuses. By the way, they want to raise a raise,
It'll pay him fifty one thousand more over the next
what three four years? Get ready for this? This is spectacular.
Since twenty twelve, their salaries have rose three times comparatively
to the private sector. They have doubled spending in Chicago,

(01:03:25):
while percentages as far as testing goes, is dropping like
a rock in water. And they want more money for what.
I think that's a fair question. But remember Brandon Johnson

(01:03:50):
used to be a teacher, used to run unions, now
the mayor of Chicago. What do you think is going
to happen? The kids are gonna suffer, the teachers are
gonna get what they want, and as far as they're concerned,
it's a win win for everybody. Sad three two, three, five,

What's jip crazy? Dick A listen.

Speaker 35 (01:05:38):

Champanzees should be Pezy Lady now making national news.

Speaker 35 (01:06:02):
They're gonna have to bring sheriffs and they're gonna have
to bring everything that they can. I would give anything
that I had possessionalized for that child. I would give
my life for him, and that's exactly what I did.
To be honest, I've never seen her that passionate about

(01:06:24):
anything in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Ever, and that includes her else. So little love. Yeah,
So it's about Tanya Haddick's former nurse and she's into
chimpanzees monkeys, and this is about her and one particular
chimpanzee where it's like, you've got animal rights groups, you've

(01:06:47):
got the authorities, everybody's coming for this lady. And she
is Tammy Fay Baker meets Tiger King. That's the best
way to describe her. We do love a car wreck
in life, don't we. We'll watch the hell out of it.

(01:07:08):
I don't think that's nice. You got to see her,
She's like it is. She is Tammy Fay, except for
the fact that she's also the Tiger King. So if
you put them together, you've got this caricature of somebody
you would say, I need somebody who looks crazy, sounds crazy,

(01:07:28):
dresses crazy. They're like, we got somebody for you. And
she likes chimpanzees right here. So this should make you
feel worse if you want to binge and watch somebody
apparently run from the authorities. Uh, Scrabble, I don't play it.
I'm not a board game guy, never have been. Let's
just say we are a very competitive household as kids,

(01:07:51):
and that included my mother and father. So we band
playing board games because of our competitiveness. If that makes sense,
but they're adding new words. It's the kids time gen
Z gets played.

Speaker 28 (01:08:01):
Yesterday, the scrabble world was all tiled up, excuse me,
riled up over a chains to the Scrabble Dictionary.

Speaker 36 (01:08:08):
Yesterday, Collins, which governs the International English Language Scrabble Dictionary,
announced that they were going to add a couple thousand
new words.

Speaker 28 (01:08:20):
That's right, two thousand more words will be legal. It's
Colin's biggest edition in years. And while some are arcane
words like three noi a type of odes to the dead,
or new interpretations of old words like sea lion.

Speaker 36 (01:08:33):
Every good scrabble player knew that sea lion was a
famous phony. It's actually it was previously two words, sea lion.

Speaker 28 (01:08:43):
A lot of these new ones sounded less like a
game of the intelligentsia and more like a guide to
gen Z slang.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
What that's right, gen Z's got some words in their kids.
Are you ready? Are you gen z tacular? Let's find out.
Some of these new words are in case you playing
scrabble with the youngsters.

Speaker 36 (01:08:59):
So there's yeat. It's like an exclamation, yeat ganky.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
It sounds like to steal.

Speaker 36 (01:09:06):
Does it mean to steal?

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
That is that's it.

Speaker 28 (01:09:08):
There's bougie spelled with a G or a J in
the middle, either or now acceptable. So our fluof thingy
and glamas on.

Speaker 36 (01:09:17):
You previously could only play butt head now you can
also play headbutt.

Speaker 28 (01:09:22):
But what's interesting to me about this is when I
hear scrabble dictionary, I assume there's just one of them, right, Well,
there are apparently several, and some are more selective than others.

Speaker 36 (01:09:31):
So the US list is used for the US National Championships.
The Collins list is used for the World English Language Championships.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
That's a lot of stuff going on. You have to
be very serious about this. This isn't playing with a kid.
This is full contact scrabble.

Speaker 28 (01:09:47):
The Collins Dictionary, the book that we're talking about, is
actually used more in the UK and international competitions than
it is here, which means slapping down gank ga NK
might not actually pass muster everyone.

Speaker 36 (01:10:02):
A very strong international British player, for example, who wanted
to come play the US National Championship would in fact
have to unlearn a lot of words because the International
English list is quite a bit bigger.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Okay, did you guys get that you have to unlearn
some words, so which that could happen. I've unlearned a
lot of words in my life. I think all of
us have. I'm not very good at spelling, I understand.

Speaker 28 (01:10:29):
In twenty twenty, the North American Scrabble Players Association declared
that two hundred words, including curses and ethnic slurs, were
no longer allowed. They were banned. But well, some people
might get annoyed by new words coming in, likeugh, what
are the kids saying? Nowadays, scrabble players generally welcome them.

Speaker 36 (01:10:47):
When a batch of new words comes in, you get
to know them, you get to learn them, and you.

Speaker 14 (01:10:52):
Get to play them.

Speaker 36 (01:10:53):
Right, So, more words means more options. More options means
more points, More options means more interesting game.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Munchet nerd, don't you guys have phones like everybody else?

Speaker 28 (01:11:06):
Top scrabble players use words that you would never use
in a regular conversation. When you see them playing aa
a type of lava or the qi like you're chi
part of you might go, okay, use words we all know,
all right, buddy, like stop taking advantage.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Of the rules.

Speaker 28 (01:11:20):
Well, these players will tell you it's not like we're
digging up fake words. We're liberating the under used ones.
It's empowering to remind yourself that your language includes words
like zach's a short single edged sword or umiak a
Native American boat. That is one of three scrabble words
to end in Q. So if you can learn what
it means to yeat something out a window, well that

(01:11:41):
will expand your horizons and maybe your point total too.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Okay, there you guys, go just scrabble for regular people.
So scrabble for regular people, that would be great. So
there we go, kids, We're getting you caught up on
all the stuff that's going on in the world that matters,
because there's a lot of other stuff that's happening, but
this stuff is kind of more entertaining. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
So you're going to have Joe on stage. You're gonna
have Hillary, I guess, and uh, Michelle. But they're trying
to tone down the celebrity side of stuff. We touched
on it a bit last week because the fear of
coming across as elitist. They don't want to have that.
Will there be chaos night one. We'll talk about that
a lot of other things to get to three, two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
This is the Dad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life,

(01:13:29):
this is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
And that's what our election is about.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful
country of ours in terms of what we stand for
around the globe as a democracy. As a democracy, we
know there's a duality to the nature of democracy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
On the one.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
Hand, incredible strength when it is intact what it does
for it's people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty,
and their freedom, incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
I think when she finished, she's like, I nailed it.
She holds up her hand like she's holding a baby bird, fragile,
the duality. Democracy nailed it. Oh, I saw somebody said,
they gave her a microphone, they let her riff, they
did this. It's still my favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
And by doing that and all that that requires, which
is the hard work, the practice working.

Speaker 37 (01:14:39):
As a team, knowing that you will be undefeated even
if you don't win every game. But no circumstance or
event or moment will defeat your spirit.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Right, I'm gonna explain to her, So undefeated is when
you don't lose any games. Yeah, but in your heart
you're you're undefeated. No, No, that's not We don't get
to live in the heart right when it comes to
the standings. So that's just letting you roll there. That
being said, chaos and craziness is DNC starts. The reality
is simply this. Trump's got eighty some days, well less

(01:15:10):
than that's seventy some days now to fix this damn thing.
Even Lindsey Graham said yesterday, yeah, Trump can win. Provoctateur,
it's much.

Speaker 38 (01:15:19):
In the advice giving column. Here's what I would say,
Donald Trump. President Trump can win this election. His policies
are good for America. And if you have a policy debate,
for president he wins. Donald Trump, the propagateur, the showman,
may not win this election. So I'm looking for President
Trump to show up in the LASS eighty days to

(01:15:41):
define what he will do for our country, to fix
broken borders, to lower inflation.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
That simple, keep it about everybody else. You do that,
you win, you start talking about things that don't matter. Look,
I think the law fair BS that's going on and
the way they've come after you is ridiculous. But all
that being said, the reality is people are frustrated at

(01:16:06):
the way life is going. People are seeing life get
more expensive and that dream starting to pull away from them.
They want to hear somebody whose policies are going to
help reverse that so they can catch up to it.
Whose policies are going to stop the influx of God

(01:16:28):
knows how many people that are just wandering across the
border and getting all kinds of goodies, And people are
frustrated and pissed. Whose policies are going to stop this
BS with the never ending wars and the fight somewhere
that we have to fund. That's what people want. And

(01:16:50):
while they can sympathize and empathize, as I've heard several
of you say, they get mad at me because we've
talked a bit about this last hour. But at the
same time, when I ask him a question is like
do you really care about this, this, and this, and
like no, do you get anything from that?

Speaker 35 (01:17:09):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
Then why not? Hope he focuses because that's all you're
gonna do. Hope he focuses the way he should. But
it's Trump and he can't. He doesn't have that discipline.

Speaker 39 (01:17:23):
And it's one of the reasons why Trump has been
declining in every survey in just about every state over
the last three weeks. The public absolutely wants to focus
on inflation, on affordability. They absolutely care about prices for
food and fuel, housing and healthcare. And they're not asking
for an ideological solution. They're asking for a.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
Day to day solution.

Speaker 39 (01:17:46):
What Harris proposed in the last few hours is going
to play well with voters, at least initially.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
But it's all bs, It's Frank Luntz. It sounds good
because remember, delivering ninety nine percent of the stuff is
virtually impossible, even if you love that so much of
it is impossible because we have a government, a government
that was designed to not have wild swings a government

(01:18:17):
that was designed for things to be pragmatic and slow
at times. So she's putting stuff out there though that
sounds good. I'm gonna make your life better. I'm gonna
give you this, this, and this policy. I tell everybody,
I'm not voting for Trump's personality. I'm voting for policy

(01:18:39):
across the board. Who's got a better policy when it
comes to the economy, Who's got a better policy when
it comes to immigration. These are the things I'm voting for,
not well, he's a meaning And when you start making
everything about you, people get a little frustrated. And remember
those people out there who love Trump, that base, that

(01:19:00):
forty plus percent, that forty five percent of people, they're
never go anywhere. They love Trump, they live for Trump. Well,
guess what, That's not going to get you over the
finish line. What is going to get you over the
finish line first is expanding the tent. And those people
want to hear about other things.

Speaker 39 (01:19:16):
Because they're looking at their wallets, in their pocketbooks, and
they're saying, I can't afford day to day life. Trump
would be much better off. Comparing inflation under his administration
versus the Biden Harris administration, much better off talking about
the cost of a Thanksgiving meal because that's something we
can all relate to, rather than accusing her of being

(01:19:37):
a communist.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Yeah, keep it simple, stupid. I mean, I hate to
say it, but you dumbed down the message. Not because
people are dumb, but because we live in a TikTok society.
You're going to have to get all of your talking
points in in a way that is thirty seconds to
a minute, that is simple and easy for them to digest,

(01:20:02):
take in and go, oh, okay, Chad. Why is her
policy bad? Because her policy, if enacted, would not lower
prices but raise prices, because you're going to get people
who no longer want to invest in certain things like
and then whatever you choose, you know, who knows what
we're talking about at that time, televisions, Because what's going

(01:20:24):
to happen is with price controls arbitrarily, somebody's going to
say this is too expensive. You need to only charge this,
but it costs me more than that. I lose money.
I no longer invest in that situation. Nobody gets a TV.
Now that's not a win. Just keep it simple, stupid,
It's that simple. Explain it to people and bite sized

(01:20:46):
chunks and stop making it about you, which is hard.
And I'm hearing from some of you who are pissed,
and I'm hearing from a lot of you who are pissed,
But go, I understand, and I'm getting a lot more
of that because I think there's a lot more people
out there that recognize the situation. Do I think America
is going to disappear? I do not. Do I think
that democracy will die.

Speaker 7 (01:21:07):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
But do I think it could get a lot more
expensive than it is now? I absolutely do. Do I
think that we could have a border that we think
is bad now that could become an absolute debacle, Oh,
I absolutely do. So all of that being said, it's

(01:21:31):
still right in front of you. You have every opportunity.
This race isn't over because I've heard a lot of
naysayers out there house race is done and dust it.
It's not. But until you start to put your message
about the people, the economy, immigration, front and center, and

(01:21:51):
you keep it simple, stupid, kiss, kiss, bite sized chunks
and stay on me, you're going to have a tough
time because you could go for forty minutes, which is
I think we can all agree a little too long.
You can go for forty minutes talking about all these
great things, but then at some point you'll bring it

(01:22:12):
back to yourself. Then you'll say something ridiculous, then you'll
get into an argument, and then that's all anybody's talking about.
And remember who is digesting all of this stuff. The
average person doesn't eat, breathe, or sleep this new religion
of politics. They don't, So they're taking in it from

(01:22:36):
the mainstream side of stuff, from establishment side, from the tiktoks,
the instagrams, the facebooks, the Twitter. Focus. Shouldn't be that hard. Undisciplined, yes,
and at times going with the gut and some on
the undisciplined things that you did things in the past
that worked well, guess what that worked for you then.

(01:23:00):
But part of being great at anything is being able
to adapt and say, Okay, they think I'm only going
to be this, I'm going to be this. They think
I'm only going to do this. I'm going to do this.
Can he do it? I don't know.

Speaker 40 (01:23:20):
One thing Republicans have to stop. Don't quit whining about her.
The campaign is not going to win. Talking about crowd sizes,
it's not going to win. Talking about what race Kamala
Harris is it's not going to win talking about whether
she's dumb.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
It's not.

Speaker 40 (01:23:34):
You can't win on those things.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
I think I'm entitled to personal attacks. I don't have
a lot of respect for her.

Speaker 39 (01:23:40):
I don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence,
and I think she'll be a terrible president.

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
All you got to say is, look, I don't think
she's gonna be good president. I think she's going to
raise the price of everything. I think she is going
to start to put in place things that are going
to damage this country for quite a long time, like
price gaujing through some bureaucracy, like grabbing patents and talk

(01:24:07):
about that a little bit later. You can go on
and on and deliver those things. You don't need to
get into a race. You don't need to get into
she's stupid. You don't need to get into crowd sizes
or are you prettier than she is? Because that was
the thing the other day, Right, You don't need to
get any of that because what it does is it
makes people go I was talking to a guy who's

(01:24:30):
a MAGA supporter, like you cannot believe, like, so Maga,
it's ridiculous, and even he said to me the other day.
I can see why that turns a lot of voters off.
It does get frustrating. It's right in front of you
if you want to go get it. But if you
make it all about you and all the wrongs that

(01:24:53):
have been done to you, and you continue to pick
fights that you don't need to pick and focus on
things that do not matter, You're not going to win.
It's that simple. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, Chanstagram and
all the other things. Raycon past yearbuds around, wearing my

so they have like this welcome party, right, So people

You're here for you know, Gaza. These people are here
for the LGBTQ plus. Are we gonna have a fight

(01:30:44):
amongst protesters three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson shows. You're Twitter, you
missed the show, brother Podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show,
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
At the brew rotest begin.

Speaker 7 (01:31:24):
Those tens of thousands of protests will be marching just
on the other side of the convention center here demanding
that the Biden Harris administration we did an immediate ceasefire
in Gaza and embargo armshipments to Israel. It's one of
thirty four major actions going on this week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
That's a lot of actions. So all kinds of actions
going on. Do you think there'll be any chaos inside?
We can only hope.

Speaker 7 (01:31:49):
The first one began overnight, this march down Michigan Avenue
met by a.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Massive police force.

Speaker 7 (01:31:54):
We saw hundreds of police officers on bicycles forming this
rolling barricade alongside the ro testers, penning them in. And
the police chief who was there told me that he
believes this system will continue to work. He does not
expect violence. Thousands of his officers have already gone through
this de escalation and civil unrest training.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
I want to see what that looks like, what happens
if he does get out of hand, not that he couldn't.
I don't think it will. But you know, it only
takes one or two people to do something completely stupid,
and then if you've ever seen what happens to a crowd,
it just takes off of there. It spreads like wildfire,
wow fire. So I don't think anything like that. I

(01:32:41):
think you're going to see some idiots inside the arena
and not do anything stupid, not like start a fight
or anything, but try to jump on stage or whatever,
you know, chant you know, from the river to the sea.
But we care about the Jews whatever they're gonna say.
So they've got that going on in Chicago. And maybe
if you're in Chicago and you're thinking, I came for

(01:33:03):
the DNC, maybe a Cubs game, maybe some pizza, and
maybe an abortion, that's right. They're rolling abortion man the
wheels on the abortion bus around and round.

Speaker 43 (01:33:15):
I've spoken to some of these pro life groups. They
tell me they're absolutely furious that Planned Parenthood would have
a mobile clinic here during the DNC.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
And now right now I'm in the Union Park area.

Speaker 43 (01:33:25):
This is where protesters are going to be in just
the next couple of hours. I can see them setting up.
But it's interesting, I've gotten on the Planned Parenthood website.
I cannot find an address for this mobile clinic. And
also all of the appointments have already been booked up.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
Is it invitation only? That's right, They're going to have
a mobile van slash bus that is cruising around looking
for the next great abortion. Chad can't make it up. Kids.

Speaker 5 (01:33:58):
Now, I do want to go ahead and show you that.

Speaker 43 (01:34:00):
So Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which is based in Missouri,
where abortions are banned, writing on X saying here we
come Chicago. Our mobile clinic will be in the West
Loop on August nineteenth and twentieth. Now this is a
neighborhood just minutes from the Democratic National Convention where it's
taking place.

Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
Going on to read that they.

Speaker 43 (01:34:18):
Will provide free vous ectomies and abortion medication. Emergency contraception
will also be available for free without an appointment. Also reportedly,
Planned Parenthood has said that the mobile clinic demonstrates when
states like Illinois work to support rather than restrict access
to affordable care. The organization is also hoping to help

(01:34:39):
those patients from surrounding states like say Iowa, to help
get an abortion where it's been restricted.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
You know, I never hear personal responsibility, never hear any
of that. I never do. No, it's never, you know,
it's always either again, because the extremes dominate a conversation.
What about the most extreme thing I can think of?
What about that? What about the most extreme thing I

(01:35:06):
can think of? What do you think of that? It's like, okay,
oh my god, it's crazy. The abortion bus cruising around
and by the way of a secting me, now is
this thing moving, because I'm not sure I want to
give a sect me from the moving bus.

Speaker 44 (01:35:23):
Well, we're trying to provide Americans, men and women, is
the ability to make their own choices about their life
and their bodies and their medical care and not have
a politician make that in a back room for them.

Speaker 43 (01:35:38):
Also really interesting to point out that according to an
Associated Press NORK poll from June, seventy percent of those
ass they believe that abortions should be legal, and that
is up from sixty four percent last June.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
That just scared the pro lifers out there that should
Now they'll the the pro choice people always, they'll always
cite a poll like that. But then when you ask people,
is is it to term? Well, no, I don't want

(01:36:15):
to do that. Is it to fifteen weeks? Oh that
sounds about right. What about twenty weeks?

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
I don't know about that. So when you start getting
into trimesters and things like that, it changes. But she's right.
I mean, like I guess said, go back to you know,
the belt buckle of the Bible belt Kansas is all
we think abortions should be legal. We'll put it to
a vote and everybody's like, nah, we'll keep it legal.

(01:36:42):
You're laughing about it. I just it's so this culture
war of insanity that goes on. And I tried to
explain it to some of my pro pro life friends
who are like super pro life. And by the way,
men and women, that when you take a stance that
many people, even people who believe you and believe what

(01:37:03):
you believe, that feels so extreme, it is natural for
people to push back. It is natural for that. And
you're watching that in a lot of places you are.
You're seeing that with votes and the more that they

(01:37:25):
can get this on the ballot, especially in swing states,
Arizona being one of them. Wow does that help? Ooh?
Done it? Yeah? Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad mentioned show to Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things. How about things
like okay, we just talked about abortion that matters to

(01:37:47):
the young? What about climate change?

Speaker 14 (01:37:51):
The research from the Environmental Voter Project did something interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
The ask voters not.

Speaker 14 (01:37:55):
Just what's your top priority, but what's the priority that's
going to actually get you to show up to the
polls and vote this November? And when they ask that question,
climate change actually rose higher on the list, with seventy
eight percent of young voters saying they're going to go
vote because of climate change. Climate change has become a
deal breaker issue for many young Americans. Forty percent of

(01:38:16):
voters under thirty five say they will only vote for
a candidate who prioritizes climate action.

Speaker 2 (01:38:22):
Now, do you get a vote for somebody in India
as well and China? Or is it just here? Because
if it's just here, then you're wasting your time. If
it's just here, then it's fanciful if you will. And
we should care about the environment. I've said that over
and over again. I absolutely care about the environment one

(01:38:45):
hundred percent. We need to find out how we can
use technology to make our environment safer, cleaner, and better.
But destroying our economy and giving into the whims of
emotion that fans, the insanity of places like the un

(01:39:06):
whose whole goal is to penalize successful countries and to
hold this over them so they can extract money and
fan it out is something I think is ridiculous. You
should think the same thing.

Speaker 36 (01:39:23):
I want a liverable future, I want green jobs. I
currently go to George Washington University and I'm worried about
the job future.

Speaker 14 (01:39:29):
This new poll conducted by a democratic polling firm of
registered voters in five swing states showed that across the
political spectrum, super majorities of young voters demand or at
least prefer candidates who prioritize climate change.

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
But what does that mean? Because like everything right, it's
like when we were talking about the ridiculousness of Kamala's
economic bizarre plan, do you understand the repercussions of what
you're proposing and what you would like to see done,
because if you don't understand it, and it just because
so much of what politics and climate change is one

(01:40:05):
of those number one things, especially with the young, where
they want all of these amazing things, yet to sacrifice
that they're willing to have is virtually nil. And we've
seen that over and over again with polls, where they're
not willing to sacrifice anything, they don't put any money
towards it. They want somebody else to pay for something

(01:40:25):
that makes them feel good. And so much of this,
especially on the liberal side of stuff, it's about feelings
and feeling good.

Speaker 14 (01:40:31):
Totsy university projects that gen z and millennials will how
they combined one hundred and four million eligible voters this fall.

Speaker 22 (01:40:38):
Being able to say, hey, we're going to win over
and try to appeal to voters who care about climate
that does matter. It might not be the number one issue,
might not be number three or number four, but in
our close and polarized elections that we end up having,
every demographic ends up mattering.

Speaker 2 (01:40:56):
Yeah, And let me tell you something, Republicans, you need
to figure out how to talk about this in a
real way because it has been hijacked. Because we should
always care about the environment. I do. I like going
out in the environment. I like breathing clean air, drinking
fresh water. I love making sure that animals grow and

(01:41:18):
flourish and all of that stuff we should We should
never crap where we eat. That being said, it was hijacked.
It's been to use this emotions. Everything's gotten blurred and
finding out the truth in today's world is so much tougher.
But you better figure out a way to talk about

(01:41:39):
it in a real way, not in a way that
is Gretituneberg shaming you or me for ruining her future.
How dag you? What did I do? I don't even
know you? These things matter, and figure and this has
been a problem with the Republicans learning how to actually

(01:42:01):
talk about these things in a real way, with common
sense and as we explained earlier, keeping it simple, stupid,
talking about the repercussions of the touchy feely great ideas
and what comes when we do this, those things matter,
and instead they're just you know, we're just going to

(01:42:22):
do this, and this is how we're going to do it,
and explaining you're worried about the future of your job, fantastic,
I am too, because if we were to do a
lot of the things that you want to do, chances
of you getting job are slim to none because our
economy will be in the turlet if you wanted to

(01:42:43):
get to where you get to, which is some of
it's ridiculous, but focus a bit on the ridiculous and
make it simple stupid. Look, we're gonna get to a
better place, and it's gonna be through technology. We're gonna
get to a better place because technology is going to
advance using AI and many of these other things to
a point where this is going to be such a
better time for everybody. And I want you to look
at the entire picture, not a small picture that people

(01:43:05):
paint to try to sell you a dream and a
nightmare of how this world's catching fire. Isn't it funny
that they only start the temperature at a certain area
in a certain decade. Let's look at it across the
board and break it down, make it easily to ingest

(01:43:29):
whether it's abortion, whether it's the economy, whether it's this
because that young vote right now is important and emotion
plays a part of it. So how do you get
in there? If you're a Republican? It's tough. I remember
going to Cleveland for the RNC there and I was

(01:43:50):
talking to Rance Previous, or as Don King called him,
Rance Priskin. So Write's previous and I were talking and
I said, why aren't you out? Why aren't you in
the inner city? Why aren't you here? Why aren't you
doing these things? Where're you talking to young? We put
our message out there, they know where it is, they
can come to us. I'm like, that is not a
way to win at all. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Clara McCaskill there tonight celebrating Joe Biden. We'll miss him
always still around. Oh that's right, he's been pushed out. Baby,
we have no use for you. Goodbye, But we're gonna
celebrate you tonight. We're doing it on the first night. Now,
normally we would celebrate you in a much different way
and give you a huge sindoff, but you're gonna have
to share the stage with Hillary Clinton. You're gonna have

(01:46:16):
to stare the stage maybe with a cell Obama and
anybody else they can bring up there, you'll get your
fifteen minutes of baby. There is gonna be so much

Ammy Klobasher, there tears of joy. We love you, Joe,
thank you so much. And why is he going Because
he couldn't win. And at the end of the day,
it's about winning, folks. He could not win. Your usefulness

we don't need you anymore. We're gonna have to ask
you to leave. They're gonna hand him, They're gonna hand

(01:46:52):
everybody else. Arose on stage. Ah, let's find out what's stupid.
As far as our information goes. You'll learn a little
something as we in the show.

Speaker 14 (01:47:02):
And then I go and spoil it all.

Speaker 19 (01:47:04):
I say something stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
It's well, take stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 28 (01:47:08):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
They're gonna do something incredibly stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:47:16):
Now you're the fact stupid one with the big mouth
is stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:47:20):
Little after time, you.

Speaker 30 (01:47:22):
Should never underestimize the predictability of stupidity.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Now it's time for stupid information that DNC kicks off tonight.
The first Democratic National Convention was held May twenty first
through the twenty third in eighteen thirty two in Baltimore,
Maryland Residential nomination Convention. It was the first time they

(01:47:46):
ever held it for the Democratic Party. Incumbent President Jackson
was nominated for a second turn, while former Secretary of
State Mark Van Puren was nominated for vice president. Which
is very interesting and the reason was simply this. His
vice president of time, I'm John C. Calhoun had fallen
out with Jackson following the Petticoat affair. What's the Petticoat affair?
Let me tell you something, kids, Led by John Calhoun's wife, Florida,

(01:48:13):
Vice President Calhoun dubbed these women the Petticoat socially ostracizing
Secretary of State John Eaton, well, Secretary of War think
of it like that, and his wife Peggy over disapproval
of the circumstances surrounding the Eden's marriage and why they
deemed her a failure to meet the moral standards of
the cabinet wife. It eventually led to most of the

(01:48:34):
cabinet resigning, brought on Martin Van Buren, which led him
to eventually becoming a president. Now you know something you
didn't know? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson's Show. Is your Twitter and
all the other stuff right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Joe Biden, I'm telling you watching essentially them celebrating somebody
who feels like he's going to his political funeral is
very interesting. They loved him four years ago, they loved

(01:49:19):
him four months ago. They have no use for him now,
