Speaker 1 (00:11):
The job Benson Show, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Will there be jobs? Won't there be jobs? Do we
even trust the job's report? I have to be honest,
I don't know if I do. And there was already
technical difficulties. We're going to break it down for you.
I'm going to go through it as much as I
can before I get deep into it, because I want
to see what's there, what's not there. It just there's

(00:38):
a feeling right now in the country, if we're honest,
that things are a little uncomfortable. Not saying it's bad,
not saying it's falling apart, not saying the world is
crashing around us and the economy is going to fall
apart tomorrow, not saying any of those things. There's just
a sense right now that you know what I say yesterday,

(01:01):
we're not quite the longest tailed cat in a room
full of a ton of rocking chairs with some fat
guys on it or women. I don't want to leave
you out, but we got a longish tail and there's
a few people of sturdier build and a couple rocking chairs.

(01:23):
I think that's the way people are feeling. They're treading lightly,
if you will, which is you know what you do,
and then of course you fired the last BLS guy
or gal. Gotta get rid of her. She gave me
numbers I didn't like. And their overreaction to good, bad

(01:46):
and in different when it comes to numbers like this,
because Trump and the Trump effect, and the Trump effect
is overreaction, super overreaction and lies, misinformation data that's not

(02:07):
quite their celebration by the media. If he loses or
it seems to be that he's losing, and then if
he is winning, we have to put that in context.
But it's Trump, so take it with a great AsSalt.

(02:32):
I always say this, when it comes to the economy,
you know what's best for you. You feel it in
a major way. If it's going well, you know it's
going well. I feel that. If it's going bad, you
feel that in a major way. You know it. That's

(02:54):
the barometer you need. Everything else's numbers and so much
of this, and I think we forget this, and this
is a weird time that we live in. We over
analyze numbers and data that comes out of political worlds
that are really built for In today's world, Wall Street

(03:19):
not so much Main Street. Main Street gives them the
stuff they're telling everybody this is what we think is
going on, this is how we feel. And even then
it's antiquated, as we've talked about. But so much of
this data and everything is for investors more so than
it is for main street. So take that into account,
if that makes sense, and go with your gut what

(03:43):
you feel, because, as we say here all the time,
your world does revolve around you. You know what's best
for you, Like vaccines? What how do we get there?
That was smooth right yesterday? If you didn't see it,
it was an absolute Kate Junior, I just once I

(04:04):
want somebody to sit there and go when they all
start yelling at each other, because it's never about as
we say, these things are never about the person answering
the questions. They're always about the person asking the questions.
And never was that more on display than yesterday. Where

(04:26):
do we start? Okay, let's start here with Layawatha and
the COVID nineteen vaccine.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Go now, Senator, I'm not taking them away from a secretary.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
You want me to indicate a product for which there
is no clinical data?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Senators, Secretary Kennedy, you said you wouldn't, and now you.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Do I'm not taking them away. Everybody can get access
to them.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
No, they can't walk into a pharmacy the way they
could last month and get access.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
It depends on It depends on the states. So they
started going back and forth. It depends on the state.
It depends on this, It depends on that. No, they
can't get it. Actually they can. And this goes back
to what I always joke about the fact checking portion
of the program. So our of case getting krilled about

(05:21):
vaccines is he first, can I just I want to
say this, and I think we need more of us
need to be skeptical with a lot of things. Okay,
we all need to be a little bit more skeptical
with the way that we look at certain things. We
have to ask questions that we don't anymore because we're

(05:43):
so you know, this is my team, So whatever they
say goes. So that being said, the fact checkers come
out and they say, well, you know, you can't get
the COVID nineteen that's what she says, right, is that true?

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Now?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Now now you can, But this is the way they
do it, claim can anyone get the COVID shot fact check.
Recent FDA restrictions mean many Americans face barriers. What are
the barriers. You may have to go to your doctor
if you want it and get a prescription, and that's
not everybody, but it doesn't mean you can't get it. Well,

(06:19):
who's going to pay for it? What about your joy?
What if your insurance is how much does it cost?
I mean these this whole like nobody can get it,
And so much of this was about who's paying for
the damn thing? Oh oh, they're not done. They keep going.
They man, they got in screaming matches.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
This is the same person that less than a month
earlier you stood next to her and described her as
unimpeachable and you had full confidence in her, and that
you had full confidence in her scientific credentials, and in
a month she became a liar.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yes, ask her, what's changing?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
So they were talking there about the CDC director who
was put through confirmation, past confirmation, finally started her job
and then summarily was handed her papers and kicked out
of there. And so they go back and forth on
this what changed, and they go, oh, you know, it's
the usual boloney. None of this was about getting to

(07:26):
the bottom of the finances of what's going on to
the CDC, why they're cutting certain things, the vaccines and
the efficacies of vaccines. It was it was all meant
to just battle each other because it looks good on
sound bites and clips and all of that stuff. This
may have been my favorite because Bernie starts out and

(07:47):
they start going at it. At some point in time.
I have no idea what the hell he's talking about.
And I don't think Arth Keate Junior did either.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Okay, you were president, you got a BILLIONAIP behind him,
You received three hundred thousand dollars from people, not to
the industry people in it, as I.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Did, from individuals. You corrupt.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
President Trump got.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
Three million dollars.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Every Republican got corporate pack money for the pharmaceutical industry,
Democrats as well.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
Everybody is corrupt, but you it's not what we're looking at.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
I don't think so, And I think the issue I
don't even know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I don't either.

Speaker 9 (08:24):
I lost my thought. I have no idea I'm talking
about something, though. I'll tell you that right now. So
that was that yesterday. It was just it was the
usual stuff. But it was just it's it's great. They
go there's theater, people like that.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's reality television, get all of the all of the
players there, and would it be this big of a
deal if it wasn't Trump, Because there's always a Trump
effect in today's modern politics, there's always a Trump effect.
And in fairness, okay, in fairness, Robert Kennedy Junior is
a bit of a different cat. Not gonna lie to ye.

(09:01):
I always go back to the bear. Saw a bear
on the ground, it's dead, picks it up, puts it
in his car, goes out, hangs out with friends, realizes
he's got to get the airport. You gotta get a flight,
got a bear in the back of the van or whatever.
Decides I'm gonna drop it at there in New York City,
and it becomes a story not that he dropped it,
but that somebody ran over a bear on their bike

(09:21):
and killed it. What talks about the worm in his brain? Again,
He's an interesting character. He was a heroin addict. They
brought that up yesterday. What does that have to do
with anything. It was a long time ago. But that's
what we do. And a lot of that's a Trump

(09:41):
effect because I think if you take Trump out of this,
and yes, he is skeptical about a lot of things.
And I'm here to tell you as I've told you
forever today when it comes to vaccines, do your homework,
talk to your doctor, and if you don't like what
they're doing and you don't trust him, then a new doctor.
It's kind of that simple. Oh maybe three two, three, five,

(10:04):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three atch you had
Benson shows your ex You're insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more.
A lot of stuff to get to today, including our
footballer picks last night, though crazy chaos, wacky. Before the
first snap of the game, they've had the kickoff for runback.
Guy's injured. He's out for the season. Not a great

(10:24):
way to start than this number ninety eight, as.

Speaker 10 (10:29):
Has this qualifiers from the game WHOA fifty building, whoa
goes down? So Jalen Carter the focus and the star
for the Cowboys, for the Eagles on the front line
out for the game before snap, Here he goes. He
walks there in front of Dak Prescott. Did he spit?
Did he spit on him? I think he did? Here

(10:50):
you go, there you go, and the official was right
there to throw the flag.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
That is disgusting. Eagles won wasn't great. There was a lay,
but spitting is vile and he's gonna be out. I
think a couple of games. I don't know what happened.
Apparently Dak spit on the ground near him and then
he spit on just It was crazy crazy indeed, Hey baby,

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Secretary Kennedys, you said you wouldn't, and now you did.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm not taking them away. Everybody can get access to them.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Everybody is gruff, but you. It's not what we're looking at.

Speaker 6 (14:23):

Would you declassify the Epstein files?

is an important thing. Think about this. That was a
short week. You're missing the show. Make sure you grab
the podcast. We love when you do that. We keep
you abreast of everything going on during the week Radio
and the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (15:49):
This is a Democrat hoax that never ends.

Speaker 17 (15:54):
Mister President Donald J. Trump, I cordially invite you to
the Capital to meet me in person so you can
understand this is not a hoax.

Speaker 11 (16:00):
We live in very, very dangerous times.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Whoo, what a week. One of the things we didn't
talk about was Venezuela. Man, they're really ramping it up.
I feel like some stuff's about to go down in
South America right just I don't know what it is.
I don't know if the warhawks have gotten inside Trump's ears.
I have no idea but I feel like there's more.

(16:25):
They're looking at Ecuador like any thing they possibly can.
It seems like they're ready to roll. And as Mike Lyons,
our military analyst, said the other day, you don't put
four thousand marines on a boat and move them somewhere
without there being something coming. So far we've seen the
boat that was hit. Was it a drug boat? More

(16:47):
than likely. Doesn't mean we can't have some questions. They're
going to be more to come.

Speaker 18 (16:52):
This is probably something that is just at the beginning
of an overall campaign. Certainly researched a lot of military
assets to the region, and if they continue to do
this under similar circumstances, it's likely that they will continue
to take strikes.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I have some problems with some of it. I understand it.
I think a lot of you do as well. But
I have a feeling there's going to be more to
come with that. Do not sleep on that. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson shows your
ex your instant, YouTube, Facebook and more. Normally we do
the wheel of surprise. Surprise this time is the air

Speaker 19 (17:38):
Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:03):
America's religion is back. You know what I'm talking about
on Sundays.

Speaker 20 (18:12):
You mean church? No, I mean the NFL. The NFL
returned last night.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
It's thee super Bowl champs won a bizarre opener against
the Cowboys. It was a weird game. Talks about it
start of the show. Eagles best player spit on Dak
Prescott before the first snap and was ejected. There was
a big hour delay because of lightning or whatever. I

(18:53):
went to bed. I'm like, i can't stay up, but man,
it's nice. I've got my fall. Can so my Halloween
decoration's coming out? Oh kids, it's a smell it. I
smell it. The NFL is back. Can we do it
every single year? We break it down for your top
to bottom. We give you our picks each and every
single week, as well as our predictions for this season.

(19:18):
We give it to you now, so you know, so
you're like, all right, she has already told me he's
a Sea sayer. Indeed, I am. Here we go. By
the way, there is a game tonight. No, yes, there
is a game tonight. I want to let you guys
know that tonight in Brasil. The Chefs and the Jawyers. Oh,

(19:41):
it's the Chiefs. It's the Chiefs and the Chargers. I
am gonna go with because I picked the Eagles last night.
So I'm already want to know. I'm gonna go with
the Chargers to get a win tonight in Brasil. All right,
so we got the Chargers. I love that, Dolphins, Colts surprise,

(20:06):
go to the Colts. What I know? I know, crazy
crazy Steelers. Jets go with the Steelers just because they're
the Jets. Okay. Plus you got Aaron Rodgers returning to
his home. Okay, we get it. Panthers Jaguars go with
the Jags. Okay, so you got that. And I think

(20:28):
Jackshun be good this year. Saints Cardinals. I'm gonna go
with the Cardinals. Saints may be the worst team in football. Giants,
Commanders go with the Commanders. Bucks over the Falcons. Not
bad cheed. Look at you go, I know, right, I mean,
I just I love football.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
I do. I do.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
People say, oh, you don't you know you don't love
American sports? No, I absolutely love American sports. I love football,
college football, Pro football, Bengals, Browns, I'm gonna go with
the Bengals. I'm gonna go with the Patriot to get
a win over the Raiders. I'm gonna go with Seahawks
over the forty nine Ers. Broncos beat the Titans, Packers
beat the Lions, Rams beat the Texans, Bills Ravens. Sunday

(21:13):
Night Football, hell of a game. Go with the Bills. Bears,
Vikings at home. I'm gonna go with de Bears. Oh baby,
it's your Monday night game right there. I just love it.
It is you know what, we could sit here, we
could joke about all this stuff, and you know, like, oh,
it is the sport. It is the sport here that dominates.

(21:37):
It is the television show that dominates America. Nobody is
fighting over the rights of new shows. Nobody is battling
when it comes to you know, whether or not we
got to get this star for this or this star
for that. On TV, nobody cares streamings where it's at,

(21:58):
and people want to be able to watch it when
they want to watch it, and you hope they find it.
But when it comes to sports, in particular football. It matters.
That's why they spend so much money on it. That's
why the battle is so huge because it is the

(22:23):
one thing that we all kind of do together. It's
crazy the amount of money that pours into football, even
to get a game on a Thursday night Amazon, or
a game over here for you know, or we're gonna

(22:44):
get a one off game on Netflix. The amount of
money they're pouring into it because they recognize that live
sports is absolutely the key when it comes to pretty
much everything now in entertainment, when it comes to just
the what we would consider the establishment entertainment, it's live

(23:05):
sports and footballs to King. All right, now, let's give
you the breakdown, shall we stop? Starting with the AFC
Bills will win the division. I think the Patriots are
going to be good. Dolphins and Jets are going to struggle. Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers.
This may be the toughest division. I think the Broncos
are going to be good. I think the Chiefs are

(23:26):
gonna win the division again. I think the Raiders is
going to be better, and I think the Chargers is
gonna be good. Chiefs win the division. I think Chargers
take second it's a battle for third and fourth, and
there's still I think they may all finish above five hundred. Ravens, Bengals, Browns, Steelers.

(23:46):
Go with Bengals and Ravens one and two. They'll battle
it out. Browns will be okay, Steelers will be good.
AFC South Text Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Jags win it going away,
Texans and second. Who can about the rest? Oh geez man,
head over to the aarn AFC Eagles, Giants, Commanders, Cowboys.
Eagles win the division. Giants and Commanders battle for second.

(24:10):
They may both get in the playoffs, but I think
the Commanders will Cardinals, Rams, forty nine Ers Seahawks. Rams
win the division. Forty nine Ers and Seahawks battle it
out for second. I think Seahawks are gonna be okay.
I do Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings now the tough Division.
I think the pack wins it. Lions second, Bears and

(24:34):
Vikings battle for a playoff position. Falcons, Panthers, Saints, Bucks,
Bucks win it, followed by the Falcons. Now for the playoffs.
AFC Championship Game. Man, I look over there and I
say to myself self, who you got? I have the

(24:56):
Bills as one, and I have the Ravens as the other.
I don't think the Chefs are getting through. I don't,
so I got the Bills Ravens and then over to
the NFC. Are you guys ready? I think the Eagles

(25:17):
are coming at this the right way. I think they're
in the NFC Championship game against the Rams, and I
think the Eagles win the NFC, the Bills win the AFC,

(25:38):
and then we will crown a new champion as the
Buffalo Bills get their first Super Bowl. That's my prediction.
Take it to the bank, but not really, but maybe
I love it. I love football. You guys know that
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty

(25:58):
three at Chad Benson Show is your act, your Insta, YouTube,
Facebook and more. I love hearing from every single one
of you, and we do it every week. We're gonna
pick it. We have fun doing it. Like I said,
it's I get a lot of people hit me up
on this all the time because they'll ask, you know,
what do you think about this? What do you think
about that? And so much of life is the pop
culture world and football plays into it. I mean, last night,

(26:21):
the number one thing, trendy, the number one everything. Last
night you my wife said, what happened in the football game?
She came home from church and I'm like, oh, dude
spit on a guy. She's like, no way, I said, yeah,
this is crazy. Crazy. Indeed, speaking of crazy, it's so
funny when I talk to the Purity Test still is
for the NFL and Newsmax, which I never watched, but

(26:45):
I was sent this, what do you think of this?
Because there's a new ad out that's the NFL is gay,
the NFL is lesbian. The end, you know, they're trying
to be included. They're also trying to get audience. And
everybody's like, see that's what I know. Like that woke?
They're woke. I saw dudes spit on a guy last night.
I saw people blow their knees out. Uh. It was

(27:08):
not as woke as you think, but they want to
make it out to be that way. And again, you
have to know who your audience is, all right, And
does the NFL like to do a lot of these things.
Probably not thrilled by it. They know who their audience is.
Do they want to cultivate more audience? Of course they do.
But Greg Kelly. He's boycotting it because his purity is

(27:31):
well pure.

Speaker 21 (27:33):
People are cheering this here, the cheers woo woo. I
can't stand in the NFL. I'm boycotting football basically forever.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
They help ruin this country, all right, I think, first
of all, how do they help ruin the country? Stop
saying the country's ruin, the country's not ruined. Well, these
people say things I don't like, and so therefore, now
a vast majority of these people, I will tell you,
they don't believe a lot of this crap. They don't.
Some of them do. They're far more that do now

(28:07):
compared to several years ago because they started drinking their
own kool aid. But the purity test on everything, but Chad,
the NFL is woke. The NFL's a business, okay, that's it.
It's a bit well, they're being more inclusive. I don't care.

(28:27):
I care about the product, okay, and the product is enjoyable.
But they've ruined it, and he's gonna boycott it. Nobody cares.
Do you think, your boy, how many people.

Speaker 22 (28:39):
I'm in a boycott never watched the NFL again. The
Colic Kabernick took a knee. I'm never gonna watch it again.
They went in racism, and what happened? Did the numbers collapse? No,
they didn't, because it's kind of our religion.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
In some ways.

Speaker 21 (28:55):
They came pretty damn close. During an election year they
called for immediate change. I don't need it, and I
don't think you do either. There are so many better
things we can do with our time.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Look.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
I like football, the sport.

Speaker 21 (29:11):
I played it as a little kid on the pee
wee league.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
You know, But what do we get out of it?

Speaker 10 (29:18):
Really?

Speaker 21 (29:19):
You know, watching those guys get exercise, make money, get
ahead in their lives, while we just sit there and

Speaker 10 (32:50):
We look back on this show to find out what
the famous things took place.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Let's do it. Find out what famous things took place
on this day? And he's three, where do we start?
On this day in history? Seventeen seventy four, the First
Continental Congress convenes. Delegates from twelve to the thirteen American
colleges met in Philadelphia to organize resistance to Britain's coers

(33:16):
of Acts. This laid the ground work for America's independence year.
Baby On this day in History In eighteen thirty six,
Sam Houston becomes the first President of Texas after Texas

Republic of Texas first president eighteen eighty two. First US

Labor Day Parade took place. Nineteen oh five, the Russo
Japanese War ends Sommit wars on this day in history.
In nineteen seventy two, the beginning of the Munich Olympic massacre.
Palestinian group they're called Black September. They took Israeli athletes
hostage during the Munich Games. Tragically, eleven Israelis, a German

(34:02):
police officer and five of the attackers were killed. And
then of course that led to go to my ear,
putting together a group that for years hunted down the
masterminds of this. Steven Spielberg did the movie Munich about it.
Nineteen seventy five. First assassination tempt on President Gerald Ford.

(34:23):
Lynette Squeaky from Charles Manson. That's right, tried to shoot Ford,
and Sacramento Secret Service agent stopped her before she could fire.
Nineteen ninety seven, Mother Teresa dies, the Nobel Peace Prize

this day. No way way, That is crazy, right, absolutely crazy.
Katie Kirk makes her historic Network anchor debut on this

(35:05):
day in two thousand and six. Just a few of
the things that took place on this crazy day September fifth, three,
two three, five three eight, twenty four, twenty three at
Chad Benson Show. Is your ex your Insta YouTube which
is always good? Facebook as well, always good. I think

(35:27):

So if you have a chance, check it all out.
And if you miss it to the show, make sure
you grabbed the podcast. We do love hearing from all
of you. It really keeps us going right here. I'm
the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, hour number two of
the program, Buddy Zach Abraham, Chief Vestment Officer Board Capital,
is going to join the program. We're going to talk
to you about jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Do you
even trust the Jobs Report? I think it's a fair

(35:49):
question to ask. Plus, we're going to talk about what
the Department of Justice is thinking about doing when it
comes to guns and transgender folks. It's very politically astute.
Plus we're going to talk about RFK Jr. And the
battle that was just the way that they framed so
much of that stuff yesterday and then they fact checked

(36:11):
it and the fact checks are hilarious. Oh my lord,
and yes kids, some more Epstein stuff. If you miss
any of the show, we say, shame on. You grabbed
the podcast our number two, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
Straight away.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Panic, no, no, don't panic, panic, don't panic. Jobs no jobs, jobs, jobsjobs, jobs,
We've got it. The August Job Report. Everybody know, this
wasn't great. Wasn't great, so you don't have to panic.

(37:14):
Wasn't great. Trump says, Wait, the real numbers are coming
out in the year or something like that. But job
job shot, no job job jomped out, don't wow.

Speaker 24 (37:24):
And the data is actually coming across the wires on time.
Good job bls. Change in non farm payrolls for the
August Job Job Jobs Report twenty two thousand, twenty two thousand,
the unemployment rate comes in at dunta dunda da comes
in at four point three. Four point three, so it

(37:46):
moved higher. Now here's something interesting. What's the comp We
haven't had a rate that high going all the way
back to twenty twenty one when it was four point five.
So you could see that the way it dropped really
was quite quite incredible. We went from four point two
to four point five in November October period of twenty

(38:08):
twenty one.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
There you go, I don't know what to say, Jed,
how do you feel? I feel okay? Well, then there
you go, said at last hour, say it again. Don't
over do it when it comes to worry and ain't
gonna change anything, as we all know, and go on
your gut instinct. You know what's best for you and
your family when it comes to the economy, when it

(38:30):
comes to everything, you've got to make those decisions. And
because Trump is involved in anything, it doesn't matter because
it's going to be absolute chaos and crazy. Everybody throws
their hands in the air. The world's coming to do that,
or it's the greatest thing ever. Just do your thing.
You'll be right, all right. We're gonna talk to Everybudy'zac

(38:51):
Abraham chievestment officer coming up here a little bit about
the jobs, but the economy itself. We're gonna find out
what scares him as a guy who does this on
a daily basis, looks at these numbers because so much
of this stuff that we hear about jobs and unemployments.
At four point one four nine, they've revised up down sideways.
Over here, this guy's doing someone on a unicycle. We

(39:12):
don't even know what that means. That's all for the market,
the investors. They're looking at stuff that's more Wall Street
than Main Street. So you know it's best for you. Okay,
you got that sense in that feel and because numbers

(39:34):
aren't what they you know, Look, I think we could
feel a little bit of a slowdown. I think we
could feel something. And I've always especially this time of year,
as we head into the fourth quarter, it's time to
make hay Writ's Christmas time coming up, seasonal hirings. What
are those going to look like? What are people going
to spend? Plus you've got the uncertainty of what's going

(39:56):
on with tariffs. That's that's not helping either. So throw
it all out there. This is what you get right now.
But you got to go with your gut what's best
for you. I'll say it every single time. Your world
does revolve around you. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four twenty three at shed Bedzon show. Is your
ex your instant YouTube? Facebook? And more so the Epstein stuff.

(40:22):
I'm gonna touch on this briefly because it is crazy.
So the hoax thing didn't play well. I think we
recognize that. But on top of that, the situation, and
this goes back to like do we even trust the
BLS numbers? I'll just say BLM, like Black Lives Matter,
no Bureau Land Management, no BLS, Bureau of Labor statistics.

(40:47):
Do you trust it? I gotta be honest, I don't
know if I trust any of it. And I've always
thought these numbers are manipulated. You're gonna add certain things,
you're gonna take certain things out because you want to
paint everything in, you know, in the best light you
possibly can. But when it comes to Epstein stuff, I
still think it's all a bunch of insanity. We haven't
got this out. I think we're getting closer to finding
some people who have the courage on the Republican side

(41:10):
to say, yeah, it's time to release this stuff. And look,
Trump's going to go hard at all of this. All
of that's going on. James O'Keeffe yesterday, so he used
to do Project Veritas and it was lawsuits, all kinds
of stuff happened. It's funny how many people out there
who are on the right or maga because he catches
a lot of people like Honeypots some of them. And

(41:31):
you know, he catches people in moments where he's just
somebody will walk by, they have a camera and they
start talking to Pam Bondi and all of that, and
they give up all this information in the past abortion clinics,
things of that nature. But how many of them were
like so James O'Keeffe strong. But then yesterday he has
something come out on the old Twitter because he's got

(41:54):
his own thing now, the O'Keeffe Media Group, and on
it a dude from the Department of Justice, not just
a guy, Joseph Schnitt. Well, the Schnitt hit the fan,
if you will, because he's the acting chief of the
DOJ's Office of Enforcement Operations. And during the Honeypot second date,

(42:20):
they talk about Maxwell and also what they're going to
do with the names, depending on what side of the
aisle you're on.

Speaker 25 (42:28):
And those files do exist, Yeah, thousands and thousands of
page for five minutes, Zilloey doctor. Every Republican or conservative
person in those files. Leave all the liberal democratic people
in those files.

Speaker 20 (42:42):
I mean they.

Speaker 13 (42:43):
Visited that Maxwell person.

Speaker 25 (42:45):
Yeah, I got transferred to him in Amman Security Person series,
which is against BLP causing because she's she's a combected
seximn interview their offering or something to keep it upsels.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
So she got rewarded as far as being moved, but
they're going to redact he says, all of the Republican
names and leave all of the Democrat names. They didn't
deny any of this. The DOJ. They kind of sent
out some weird kind of response, but there was no like,

(43:22):
oh my god, I can't believe it. It's bizarre again,
swing and a misbad about a swing and a misbad
about it. Continue to do this. It's not a good look,
the whole hoax thing. It's a perfect example somebody, you know,
because I did a video and then you cut him
up into shorts and somebody's like, it needs context. He

(43:44):
wasn't saying now the context was. Listen to what he said.
It's a Democrat hoax. It's it's it's It wasn't a hoax.
The Democrats didn't make it up. This guy was real
because you knew him, many people knew him. He wasn't
a ghost. It wasn't a mirage. This lady's in jail
for a very long time, as she should be. I mean,

(44:06):
there's so many things that are wrong with this, and
the more you fight, the worse it looks. This is
going to be a bigger issue. I keep telling people
that they're like, no, no, not really. People who love
Trump they again, they'll drink that kool aid all day long.
I am not one of those guys. I'm not. You
don't love Trump, No, I don't love any politician. Again,

(44:29):
that's a lot of energy. You know what. I like
you to do your job. That's it. Do it not
to the best of your ability based on the things
that you may get out of it, but the best
of your ability for America and the people you represent.
Shouldn't be that hard. And Thomas Massey gets blasted over

(44:51):
and over again, and that is absolute crap. That guy's
about as consistent as you can get out there, and
he is. He's going at it alone. Right. Even Rokahanna
said yesterday said, man, you got to give it to
this guy. He's standing there. He goes apac comes after me,
not really goes. They send text they spend millions of

(45:12):
dollars along with billionaires trying to beat this guy time
in and time out, and he just stands there and goes,
all right, what you got? We need more people like
that we do three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three atch Had Beenson shows your act,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more so the battle of

(45:35):
vaccinations that has, you know, continued to now that RFK
juniors in there and the weird world we live in
where it's well, vaccines are good or they're bad, or
they're this or the that, and they're not tested. And
yesterday was another one of those things where you've got

(45:56):
people arguing and yelling at each other there, oh, in
a finance committee hearing over you know, the CDC and
finance and funding and you know, vaccines was a big
deal in RFK is doing this and he didn't recommend this,
and they're pulling it was so reality television to watch

(46:18):
them argue. We'll start with Lya Watha.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Now, Senator, I'm not taking them away from a secretary.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
You want me to indicate a product for which there
is no clinical data?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Centators what you want, Secretary Kennedy. You said you wouldn't
and now you did.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
I'm not taking them away. Everybody can get access to them.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
No, they can't walk into a pharmacy the way they
could last month and get access.

Speaker 7 (46:45):
It depends on the state.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
It depends on the states.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Some states have already come out going we'll cover it. Well,
that's fine. By the way, anybody can get the vaccine.
You may have to go through an extra step where
you have to go get a know, to your doctor
to get a prescription. Oh yeah, lot this you may
have to. But this is about who's paying for it.

(47:10):
This is not about whether or not you have access
to it. That's it. You have access. And I'm a
big believer in getting vaccines. I'm not a vaccine denier.
I'm a big believer in getting vaccines. I think if
you're healthy, you don't have to get a flu shot
every year. I think it's good to let your immune
system work. But when it comes to a lot of

(47:31):
this stuff, you know, polio and things like, hey, yes,
I'm a big believer in that, but it's your family,
it's your decision. I'm a big believer in that as well. Liberty, freedom, options.
But with those, as we've talked about, comes responsibility, not
just to you but to your fellow man and woman

(47:52):
and kids out there, but you make the decision that's
right for you. That's the beauty of the country we
live in and the freedom of which we have. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three Atch had Benson
shows your extra Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more coming up.
A brilliant move. I don't know if they meant it
to be this way, but I'm going to talk about guns.

(48:16):
Transgender in the second Amendment. What a move. We'll talk
about that straight ahead. But first, Birch Gold, How would
you like to have the opportunity if you've never bought
gold before, you've thought about it, You've thought about this
is a good times, not a good time. I don't
know anything about it. How would you like the opportunity
of not only getting all the information, but then when

(48:36):
you get asside to and you go with Birch, having
the opportunity to get up to ten thousand dollars in
free metals. Okay, it's a rebate for you. It is incredible.
That's for first time buyers. Now, first you got to
get the info, so you text the word Benson to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight now, inflation worries, unsettlements

(48:57):
in the market as well as globe We're lots and
lots and lots and lots of debt is sitting there
with us. Yeah, this is a good time dollar kind
of week. What are you waiting for? Find out if
gold is right for you. Text the word Benson to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight now for my friends
of our Birch Gold. They're going to get you out
the info kit and show you what it's all about

(49:19):
and you'll be eligible if you're a first time buyer
to get a rebate of up to ten thousand dollars
when you buy by September thirtieth. Text my name Benson
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight now to claim
your eligibility. That's the word Benson. Text it to ninety
eight ninety eight, ninety eight for Birch Gold. This is
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
This to me is a brilliant move. Apartment of Justice
is thinking about banning some trans people from own guns,
and you're thinking, oh, now, I stick with me here.
It's politics and this is a move that's it's it's
kind of ingenious. You're going to force the people on
the left to fight for gun rights or agree and

(50:14):
say that people who are trans some of them are
mentally ill. Ooh, think about that. So now people who
are on the left who want guns banned as much
as possible outside of owning a musket, are going to
force to go no, that's not right. They have a
Second Amendment right.

Speaker 26 (50:32):
Sources say the Justice Department is considering a rule that
could ban some transgender people from owning guns. Talks began
after last week's school shooting in Minnesota, where police say
a twenty three year old transgender woman killed two children.
Sources say at the center of the discussion is gender dysphoria,
which refers to the distress experience when someone's identity and

(50:54):
assigned sex don't match.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Okay, so is that a mental illness? Is that enough? Now? Now, look,
it's not constitutional. I don't think this is constitutional unless
you could prove somebody's mentally ill. And as we all know,
mentally ill people come in all shapes and sizes. That
being said, though, it's kind of a genius because now
you're gonna have to go, well, you know that, sad dude.

Speaker 27 (51:17):
They do have a Second Amendment. Right, So what you're
saying is you believe in the Second Amendment in this case,
I do, And no, I don't think they should take
guns away from anybody if you're mentally stable and you're
not a criminal.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
No, But what if you identify as a trans person?
Are you mentally ill? Have you been diagnosed? Are we
going to go in and do this? That's you have
your rights. You may not like that the person identifies
as a woman or a man, but they have rights
because they're an American and those rights are protected.

Speaker 26 (51:48):
The American Psychiatric Association stress is being transgender is not
a mental illness, but sources say federal officials are debating
whether gender dysphoria could fall under a federal law that
bans people adjudicated as a mental defective from owning guns. Currently,
under the law, that determination can only be made by
a court or other lawful authority.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
So this is more like everything in politics. It's more
about show than anything real. But it does put the
left in kind of this weird quandary three, two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson Show, it's
your ex your instant right here on the Chad Benson
Show and say that our trans brothers and sisters should

(52:33):
have every right to bear arms. Or do I say
no gun control and then say if there is gun
control in this situation, we'll be admitting that these people
are mentally ill. Yikes, what do you think? Let me know. Meanwhile,
in New York City the mayoral race, which is I'm

(52:54):
gonna say this, it's over. Mondanie's gonna win. But Trump
and everybody, they're trying to figure out can they do
something about it? Can they get involved in some way,
shape or form.

Speaker 7 (53:08):
Why?

Speaker 2 (53:09):
But Chad, he's a communist socialist, So what, Let's let's
see how it works. Right, unless you live in New
York City, you're like, Okay, let's see how it works.
Let's see how if this thing really works. So apparently
Trump would like to see sleewah, it's the Guardian Angel
and Adams get out of the race to clear the

(53:34):
clear the way for Cuomo to be the front runner
to Mandannie. Cuomo's down by twenty points to Mandanni, and
it might help him. There's no doubt this would be
a potential help. But you know what, now I want
to see what this looks like. Let's let it play
itself out. Okay, let's let it just let it see

(53:55):
and play itself out. Because I remind everybody this, he's
not going to get ninety nine percent of the things
he wants because he's gonna have a city council that's
gonna push back in just about everything. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three At Chad Benson Show,
that's your extra instant YouTube, Facebook and more are Buddy
Zach Abram chief devestment officer, will work joins U straight
ahead and talk about the market, jobs, et cetera. Chad

(54:16):
bets a.

Speaker 19 (54:17):
Job son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Is that time of the week. We talk to Everyboddy
Zachy Ram chief that's an officer Boulware Capitals. We talk about,
you know, the markets, the economy, the stuff that matters
to so many people. All right, Uh, Zach, those job
numbers gotta be honest. I don't think the White House,
in particular mister Trump, the President of United States, was

(55:03):
thrilled or looking forward to those things.

Speaker 7 (55:06):
No, No, it wasn't good.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Who's getting fired?

Speaker 7 (55:12):
Well, I mean the maleman that dropped him off at
the White house. I'm sure he's got his you know,
neck on the chopping block. I don't know.

Speaker 28 (55:18):
I part of me thinks that maybe the Trump administration
saw these bad numbers coming down the pipe and that's
why they were so.

Speaker 7 (55:25):
Adamant about cutting rates.

Speaker 28 (55:27):
But this this administration is just remarkably bad at phrasing things.
Any number of people could could lose their job at
the BLS for a whole host of reasons because so
much of the data they put out is it's it's appeared,
it's appeared politically biased. At times, it appears to be

(55:50):
very doctored in the sense that, you know, I just
feel like they massage the numbers until they get what
they want. Even you can get a room full of
people that were tired and fed up with the BLS,
and then Trump could figure out a way to phrase
it that would still tick him off, you know, the
fact that you're firing someone you know, And I'll go
back to my old adage. I still think the guys.

(56:11):
I think the guy's a pretty good doctor. He just
has the worst bedside manner.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Oh yeah, you saw that yesterday with it it's a hoax.
You're like, okay, really, that's not probably the thing to
say here. The numbers don't look good, and I don't
know what's going to happen with the tariffs, because that's
always what's going to go to the to the Supreme Court,
and I don't know what's gonna happen, but it is unsettling.
It's like, are you were gonna have to pay this back?
I mean, I feel like things are getting a little

(56:35):
away at times from the message, from what they're hoping
to do, and I think that's making people uncomfortable.

Speaker 7 (56:43):
Yeah, you know, I would agree with you.

Speaker 28 (56:45):
And again we're all just spitballing, right, we're trying to
interpret this stuff from the sidelines and doing soul on the.

Speaker 7 (56:52):
Fly and that all that stuff being said.

Speaker 28 (56:55):
But when I look at this situation, it appears to
me that they got into this trade dispute or this
trade negotiation, however we want to phrase it, with China
thinking that they had more leverage than they did.

Speaker 7 (57:11):
That's what it feels like.

Speaker 28 (57:14):
Now, maybe that was just purely a perception issue on
their part. Maybe there were some key things that they
were miscalculating.

Speaker 7 (57:21):
I'm not really sure what led to that, but.

Speaker 28 (57:26):
It's really hard to look at the state of negotiations
between US and China and company, any other conclusion, because truthfully,
and I was just having a conversation with a client
about this today. Truthfully, if everybody, if we're if we've
got rational actors making rational decisions, neither the United States

(57:49):
or China can maintain their current standard of living or
anywhere close to it without the other. Yeah, right, And
I don't think either govern mint would be in a
very good position at all if they went the other direction.
Meaning you know, there's a lot of signs that I

(58:12):
think that the Chinese Communist Party has a lot of control,
but has less than they're perceived in some way, and
I think I think economic issues would be the quickest
way for them to lose grip of.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Life, serious control, like the kind of stuff where people
are on the streets and the tanks are out there
and they're not doing what the guys are telling them to.

Speaker 28 (58:32):
Do right, right, and on an economic basis, because this
is not the same culture. What you're watching is you're
watching the generation that actually stood in Tianem and Square
come of age.

Speaker 7 (58:44):
Right there.

Speaker 28 (58:45):
They're turning into the ruling class. They think very differently
than the Z generation and I think that's going to
be a good thing for our relationship with China, or
can be a good thing with our relationship in China.

Speaker 7 (58:57):
But both like does that?

Speaker 28 (59:00):
I mean, we have to accept things the way they are, No,
and we have to quit allowing us.

Speaker 7 (59:05):
I think Trump said it really well though.

Speaker 28 (59:06):
He goes, you know, in that one meeting he had
with the Chinese premiere or it was anything, might have
been their head trade guy, but he said something to
the effective, Look, I don't blame China, I blame us.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Yeah, oh absolutely, And I really.

Speaker 28 (59:20):
Honestly believe that needs to be the platform because did
China take advantage of us, Yes, but.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
No more than we would of them had the role
has been reversed.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
And we allowed it. We like the cheap goods, and
we were, okay, going we take the cheap goods. Right.
Are people like to consume more? They like to make?

Speaker 7 (59:37):
Yeah? And we yeah.

Speaker 28 (59:40):
I mean they didn't put a gun to our head
by any way, shape or form. Right, Our companies went
over there, and in a lot of ways, it shows
you how dumb.

Speaker 7 (59:49):
Corporate America can be.

Speaker 28 (59:51):
Because you know, naturally you'd come to the conclusion, Wait
a second, they're a manufacturing company, and that's a communist organization.
There's no way they put one hundred percent of their
manufacturing base over there. Oh but they did it right,
And you know, they could have had a secondary in
Vietnam or Taiwan, you know, for probably fractionals.

Speaker 7 (01:00:13):
You know, it's a.

Speaker 28 (01:00:13):
Few percentage points difference in overall costs and had so
much more of a secure and redundant manufacturing system and
they didn't do it. So yeah, I look, there's definitely
some you know, the the Confucius Institutes and universities. I'm
not at all absolving China for their nasty tricks. I'm

(01:00:35):
just saying, if the scales are tipped on the economic
side of things, which they clearly are, that is something
that we have done to ourselves, and I think it's
ridiculous in a waste of time to.

Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
Try to blend them for it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Oh man, I'll tell you what. Talking to tack Abrahmgvestment
Officer Board Capital there, we're probably going to see a
rate drop it some I don't know, they're so cast.
It's probably gonna be you know, a quarter. I think
we recognize that fifty be like and Trump was like,
drop it down. To zero, and you're like, settle down.
I mean, look, we're heading into the fourth quarter. This

(01:01:09):
is the season where you've got to make hey for
a lot of these people, this is it this quarters.
You've got Christmas, you got all the stuff, it's holiday spending.
People are nervous, man, because I tell you what the
fear factor is. This doesn't go well, we could be
heading to the first quarter where we can see a
serious slowdown.

Speaker 7 (01:01:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:01:25):
No, I mean, look, that is certainly in the offing.
Some of the data is softening there. To be fair,
I think that you're seeing a lot of conflicting data
signs here in the US. Domestically, things appear to be slowing.
That to me is undeniable. We see some early signs,

(01:01:45):
some leading indicators that suggest that you might be coming
up a little bit now, or it might be picking
up a little bit. Because remember, anytime we're reading economic data,
by definition, we're looking in the rear view mirror.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Yeah stale, it's stale, but it's not as stale as it.

Speaker 28 (01:01:58):
Can be, right right, And so really the trend is there.
What I will tell people is there's some softness. Yes,
do we see a downward trend? I think you could
say things are trending in the wrong direction, but you
have to consider where we are coming from. So but
as of right now, you don't see anything alarming. There
are many things that I think that could become alarming

(01:02:19):
in a really short period of time.

Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
But quite honestly, with the stock market where.

Speaker 28 (01:02:25):
It's at, I really don't see you're going to I
don't really feel like you're going to see a big
reduction in consumer spending and all continue to go back
to this, And I think if people are looking at
economic data and looking at the markets and taking a
step back with a little bit of perspective, they can
see this for themselves. When the stock market is bumping
around all time highser within five percent, it almost seems like,

(01:02:45):
regardless of what goes on on a macroeconomic level, retail
spending doesn't seem to get hit. And I think it
makes perfect sense when you sit there and you realize
that what is it some I think like seventy percent
of the stock market is owned by the baby boom generator.

Speaker 7 (01:03:00):
Yeah, right, who's retiring every day.

Speaker 28 (01:03:02):
So you know, like this year right now, you know,
our our main stock portfolio value fund is up twenty
three percent on the air. You know our clients, you know,
assuming things continue the way they are, they're probably going
to buy some extra presents for the grandkids and probably
and several of them will go on an extra vacation

(01:03:24):
because of the outperformance that they've seen this year. And
as long as the market keeps ticking higher and higher,
I think we've got to wrap our heads around that.
I think this is an economy that is driven by
a stock market now, not the other way around.

Speaker 7 (01:03:37):
And as long as that market.

Speaker 28 (01:03:39):
Keeps going up into the right, I think consumer spending
can hang in there.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Talk exactly Ramchis went officer boll Capital. What does scare you, dude? Like,
what would you look at and say, man, you know
what this is giving me the he bjbs.

Speaker 28 (01:03:51):
If you saw a meaningful pick up in the in
the price of the dollar right now? I can't really
see what would precipitate that. I think that there is
a stordinarra vulnerability and private equity right now. Quite honestly,
it surprises me, and I honestly believe that the only
reason there haven't been bigger and to say there haven't

(01:04:11):
been big issues, there have been massive issues just recently
we were looking at one of the tallest, biggest, most
modern office buildings in downtown Chicago just sold, I want
to say, for something like thirty six million bucks.

Speaker 7 (01:04:25):
Okay. I believe it was.

Speaker 28 (01:04:27):
Last purchase or financed back in like seventeen or eighteen
for like three hundred and fifty million.

Speaker 7 (01:04:34):
Okay.

Speaker 28 (01:04:36):
The only reason that's not making a bigger issue is
because there is still so much liquidity floating around. And
think about it, because of the term funding plan that
came out to rescue the regional banks there in twenty
twenty three, twenty twenty three. All of those banks, even

(01:04:58):
the ones carrying the bad paper, any hits they took
on their treasuries, they were able to turn back to
the FED at face value, right, So some of them
were even able to make money on it, right. Maybe
they bought it at a discount to par sold it
to the FED. A part when we think about things
that could scare us, it's going to sound kind of
weird and maybe a little bit reckless when I say this,
but I think COVID gave us the perfect example. Go

(01:05:20):
back to COVID really quick, and let's look at that
for a second. When COVID started, I said, this will
be the biggest economic shock in.

Speaker 7 (01:05:26):
The history of this country. A lot of people told
me I was a drama game. Oh okay.

Speaker 28 (01:05:30):
In that first quarter alone, on an annualized basis, GDP
dropped twenty five percent. To put that in perspective, during
the financial crisis eight to nine, GDP declined three point
eight and by far and away the greatest economic shock,
the stock market went up sixteen percent that year.

Speaker 7 (01:05:47):
We are at a point now where any.

Speaker 28 (01:05:49):
Problem we face that can be fixed by printed money,
they will print the money. What we've got to look
at are problems that could pop up.

Speaker 7 (01:05:57):
That printed money can't fix, you know.

Speaker 28 (01:06:00):
So it might sound trite, but the ramping up of
nuclear war threats right that would be something that really
concerned me. The ramping up of trade war threats with China.
If we get into a back and forth throwing twenty
thirty percent tariffs on each other, that can get ugly.

Speaker 7 (01:06:17):
China invading Taiwan, that scares me. That would keep me
up at night, you know.

Speaker 28 (01:06:21):
And then just you know, any type of existential threat.
But looking economically at our country right now, I don't
think trade wars really scare me.

Speaker 7 (01:06:32):
That bad because we can botch that.

Speaker 28 (01:06:36):
We can turn around and get something done because, like
I said, China really needs us to right.

Speaker 7 (01:06:40):
We're the biggest consumer market in the world.

Speaker 28 (01:06:42):
If you're an export economy, you have to be able
to sell to us or your model doesn't work. What
you're scared about is a dollar devaluing too rapidly. Another
thing I would be concerned about is China's still not
out of the woods as it relates to the real
estate bubble. They're stimulating really hard. That is a situation
that we could have. And the reason why chat is

(01:07:04):
it's so opaque, right because all the banks that are
effectively state owned, So you could have a blow up
going on there and you wouldn't know it until the
very last minute because they have no incentive of letting
that out.

Speaker 25 (01:07:16):
Right.

Speaker 28 (01:07:17):
Think about COVID and the way they kind of kept
that into wraps. That's pretty much it. But when we
talk about slowdowns here in the US economy, as much
as I hate to say it, if it's a problem
that can be fixed with printed money, they're going to
print it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Yeah. Absolutely. Talking to Zach gabriamchvesment Officer, Board Capital, people
want to reach out to you. They'd be foolish now too.
What do they do where they go?

Benson serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
It's Chad Benson disportion.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
So the program is brought to you by young kids
who say stuff that you're not quite sure if you
know what it actually means, even though they are words
that you actually recognize, You've just never heard it in
this context. Oh oh yeah, you know what time it is.
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

(01:10:23):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day. All right, your urban word of the
day on this fryya, which is not the urban word
of the day. Urban word of the day is high key,
not haiku, but high key obvious or deferit. I high

(01:10:47):
key want that shirt? What opposite is low key? Right,
something that is less obvious or definite? High key is
your urban word of the day. That was the urban
word of the day. Now you know what it is?
You know, I don't know. Actually it's kind of an

(01:11:07):
odd saying hi key. Is that like hi karate? It
is not like hi karate. Shame on you, my friends,
shame on you. Sometimes my kids will say something and
I go, okay. So in my day we had the
same I use that word, but now it means something different. Okay,
fair enough, fair enough for our friends. Speaking of high

(01:11:28):
key good. I don't even know if that's real soccer star,
then he is a soccer star. Still, uh, Neymar was
put in somebody's will and it's crazy. So he was
put in a guy's will and left a billion dollars.
The guy has no heirs, no family. It's a real will.

(01:11:48):
It was witnessed by people. It was notarized. The guy
said he appreciates Neymar the soccer star and his upbringing
and stuff like you know this. He says he really
just gravitated towards him and felt that they were kindred
spirits they had never met. That's high key cool, right?
Is that I used that wrong? Probably? Three two, three,

You missed me the show, Grab the podcast our number
three straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Was it a good report? Was it
a bad report? Who got fired? Was it a great report?
Was it the worst report? No? But definitely not a
good report.

Speaker 30 (01:13:48):
Clearly a rough report. You know, we were expecting to
see a cool down continuation in the job market based
on you know, the last jobs report and the economicata
that's come out since. But this was a way more
significant down than expected. The expectation was right around seventy
five thousand jobs at it. We got about a third,
maybe a quarter of that. I stopped top of my
head math there. I mean fifty one thousand fewer jobs

(01:14:11):
than we saw last month. The unemployment rate that did
come in line with expectations about four point three percent.
That is up from four point two percent that we saw.
You know, for the July numbers. In terms of the
sectors here for those who are in the workforce and
wondering where we're seeing the job losses and job gained.
The healthcare sector that was actually up about thirty one thousand,
but almost every other sector lower federal government down fifteen thousand,

(01:14:34):
Mining in oil down six thousand, Wholesale trade and manufacturing,
which is a part of you know, President Trump's tariff agenda,
that was down about twelve thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
So the manufacturing side, by the way, what is it
six months in a row manufacturings down. Trump uh first
part came out and said it's exactly what we wanted.
We wanted this, this is exactly in line with my magic.
The real numbers will come out in a year. So

(01:15:05):
I look, there's ebbs and flows, people losing their mind
over this. Don't welcome to the world of this is
so much of this is what we've talked about is
for the market more so than main street. It's a
Wall Street thing. But the numbers aren't great, There's no doubt.

(01:15:27):
And part of when you see some of these things,
there's a certain you know, psychology that goes into people
start worrying anymore. I'm going to tell it to you straight.
The reality is I don't think it should be that
freaked out about this. Now. Where I would start worrying

(01:15:49):
a little bit is if we move into this month,
into October, when you normally start seeing a decent amount
of hiring for the holidays, and those things continue to
come down and until they get until they get the
teariff thing also sorted out, there's gonna be ebbs and flows,
and Trump's like, well, you know next year is when

(01:16:11):
the real you know numbers will come out. I, how
do you feel? Might feel pretty good? Well, there you go,
then run with that. That's my psychology for you. I
it's pretty good one. It's worked for most of us.
You know what's best for you. And if there is
a real downturn, we will all feel it. As we

(01:16:37):
talked about. You know, when it comes to jobs, job
hugging is the latest thing, which is you go back
a few years, you know, people were going back cross
the street. They're offered me ten bucks more an hour,
or they're offered me another twenty grand compared to where
I'm at now. So I'm just gonna go cross streight,
you know, the street. And while they're going across the
street filling out their paperwork, they're on their phone all

(01:17:00):
already looking for a new gig because they know somebody
else will pay them more. Well, now it's job hugging.
They're worried there is no across the street for twenty
grand more, ten bucks an hour more. Now they're worried
that they're going to start losing hours and or lose
their gig. So they're hugging their job. They're working at
a little bit more. They're no longer quiet quitting whatever

(01:17:24):
the hell it was called. You got to do it's
best for you. You'll know, because you know, I talked to everybody,
from doctors that are listening to lawyers, I know, doctors
right to lawyers, to people who own small businesses to
some massive corporate cats out there to just people who are,

(01:17:47):
you know, side hustling three or four jobs just to
make ends meet. So you know, one person's world is
going to be a lot different than another person's world.
But the overall side of things is I think there
are some nerves, some unsettledness in what's happening out there.

(01:18:10):
I use this analogy over and over again. The room
is not full of larger people in rocking chairs, and
we're the cat with the longest tail, but there's some
rocking chairs in the room, and there's some people of
size in those chairs, and we've got a decently long tail,
so we're cautious as we walk through. That's the way

(01:18:33):
you have to look at this three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your X, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and rhor love
hearing from all of you. I do some text.

Speaker 7 (01:18:45):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
We talked a bit yesterday about Israel, and I was
on with the Chicks on the Right yesterday and a
lot of people went after me with because I don't
buy into a lot of what Israel. And again, let's
you know, first of all, take Israel out of it.
Israel is a nation. Okay, does Israel have the right

(01:19:07):
to exist? That's a silly thing to say. Of course
they do, of course they do. That's that's that's ridiculous.
Take the country out of it. This is about the
people that run the country and a lot of people
some people were like, you know what, I liked that.
Do you push back a little bit with the chicks?

(01:19:29):
And I said, you know, thanks, and you know, and
some other people were like, oh, the usuals. My favorite
thing is what do you want the terrorists to win?
Which is just the silliest, like, that's the dumbest thing
nobody is. I've never once advocated for hamas. I've never
once advocated for anything like that, or the destruction of

(01:19:51):
Israel or the killing of the Jews. I've advocated for
being a peacekeeper. I've advocate catered for being somebody who
is watching an annihilation of people. Some people use genocide,
that's a legal term. I look at this, and you know,

(01:20:14):
I look at cleansing, ethnic cleansing. You're trying to remove
people and take over a land that you feel is yours,
and you feel that you have some god given right
and some right based on politicians back in the forties

(01:20:37):
to take over this land, and that you don't care
what you do to get it. And the reality is
is we need to have a serious conversation in this
country where you can't you can't. Right. This is not
about a college kids who are worn around with the
Kafifa and they're just you know, scoring ah free palace,
time for the river to the sea. Not quite understanding

(01:20:58):
the context of that. But it is about saying those
are human beings. There's always two sides to a story.
We didn't just get here in this situation and magically,
oh there's this group here. Nobody knows where they came from. No,
many of these people over there in Palestine or Gaza

(01:21:19):
or wherever you want to call it, right, Israel, the
Greater Israel have been there much longer than a vast
majority of people over in Israel. They've been there for generations.
A lot of the people in Israel have come from
other places, Europe being one of the main components of this.
So we can't have a conversation because it becomes something

(01:21:43):
where people are so hell bent on whatever they have
in front of them that they believe and they no
facts and data, no actual This is actually the real story.
Let me show it to you. Even the Israelis, this
is the real story. They don't care. So you can't

(01:22:04):
have a conversation with people like that. That's why you
get the usual way. You want the terrorists to win. Well,
if you're on the other side and you're in Palestine,
you'd probably go, yeah, those guys are the terrorist No, Chad,
they're the most moral army in the world. No they're not,

(01:22:25):
but not the most moral army in the world. They
love to frame the things that the way that they do.
But I won't back down.

Speaker 5 (01:22:37):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
I tell my wife this because I look at this
and I don't think for a second Jesus would say, yeah,
you blew up that seven year old, that's a good move.
Solid I don't think so I don't. And the reason,

(01:23:00):
first of all, as a father and as a human being,
I look at people that are helpless, who are stuck
in situations and think that's this isn't the answer. This
isn't going to get us anywhere. But I also look
at this is my country is behind a vast majority
of this. We're funding it, we're ignoring it, and we

(01:23:24):
have the way to stop it. And we're not, then
that should shame everybody. And I got a lot of
text from you guys yesterday and over the last several days,
and some of you are like, you know what, I'm
looking at it in a different way. And again, Hamas,
the atrocity is what they did awful. Nobody is saying

(01:23:51):
anything otherwise. But if you can't have the conversation because
you're so hell bent, and trust me, I've been there.
I have absolutely been there with Israel. But in my business,
you know what, I took a stand and said I'm
not going to do it. I want to know the

(01:24:14):
whole truth. And I realized as I got older in life,
you have to realize as you get older, you know
far less than you realize, and that there's two sides
to all stories. And there is two sides to this story.

(01:24:34):
And yes, Hamas is bad and evil. Nobody's ever denied that.
But if we can't have a conversation about the people
that aren't Hamas and the eighty five to ninety percent

the police come. And usually there's certain signals and things

(01:27:39):
that people do when they're out in public to try

X your Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more commitioning show, we

(01:29:03):
had the podcast Lady on the Chad Benson Show. Football
Mike Tyson going to fight an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather Junior,
and then they're gonna have a readoff. For anybody who's
ever heard Floyd Mayweather reads something Junior, It's that was

(01:29:25):
kind of cruel what I said. So Floyd Mayweather did
some like liners for radio and let's just say it
did not go well. It's not a strong point, that's
all I'm saying. Dude successful. I don't think he's an idiot,
but it just wasn't a strong point. So the football
game last night, it was it was crazy. I'm sitting here,

(01:29:45):
I'm like, all right, football's back. I'm watching it. Kickoff guy,
the guy, this poor dude, who you know. Here's a
guy who makes the team. It's going to be a
player that's going to get some snaps on the offense,
an integral part of the the special teams. First play
off the kickoff blows out his knee, most likely done

(01:30:06):
for the season. Then before the first snap, Jalen Carter
spits on Dak Prescott and gets tossed out. He's their
best player on defense for the Eagles. What the hell
are you doing? And I'm gonna tell you I have
a feeling he's gonna be suspended for a few games,
as he should be. There are a few things that

(01:30:28):
are awful where you look and go that deserves more.
Spitting is one of those things that is so disrespectful
and so awful. I tell you, most of the leagues
I've played in men's leagues when I'm having fun playing soccer.
It was a little bit older. If you spit on somebody,
you're done. They're gonna kick out of the league. It
is vile and disgusting. The NFL's back. You're missing the show.

(01:30:50):
Grab the podcast coming up next. Jim Kennedy Kennedy It's
the Public Policy Research to Chat Benson.

Speaker 19 (01:30:56):
Joe, then Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Every single week. We have a little bit of fun
with our good buddy. Jim Kennedy, Kennedy, Institute of Public
Policy Research, Jim, I'm gonna hit you out the gates
with Epstein. Man. They have not handled this thing well
at all.

Speaker 5 (01:31:36):
Yeah, they've been bad.

Speaker 33 (01:31:37):
The Epstein thing has been especially atrocious for them. And
I will stand by the thing I said when we
first started talking about this at least six weeks ago,
is release everything that's it. Just release it. It will
play out and then it will go away. I do
not believe that there's anything really in there that's going
to be that's going to make that would be enough

(01:31:57):
that Trump would have to even consider resigning.

Speaker 5 (01:31:59):
As far as you know, there is, I don't believe
there is.

Speaker 33 (01:32:02):
I think I have a fairly good handle of what's
in there regarding Trump. I think there could be a
lot of dirt on a lot of Republican or a
lot of Democrats. And I think there could be a
lot of dirt on people that we don't really know,
that are like foreign dignitaries or maybe corporation heads that
don't have a lot of visibility or something.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
And I think there's a lot of dirt on donors
and other Republicans, it's past and present. I think it
is a cesspool of stuff. And I think the donor
thing is interesting. I'm gonna run this by really quick,
I said, because I did several of these interviews all
over about Epstein, and I've said this, I don't think
Trump did anything. I think the covering up, though doesn't

(01:32:39):
look very good, but it doesn't mean that there is
a dirt on him that maybe other people who are
powerful who could be implicated don't have. And Trump's trying
to see whya himself as much as.

Speaker 33 (01:32:51):
Them, or he's trying to see ya them because their
donors are their you know, friends of Trump, and he
doesn't want to get you know, doesn't want any any
of their any of their slime, their rub uff on him. Sure,
I would definitely, I definitely agree with that. But again,
just release everything. It'll play out and then you can

(01:33:11):
move on, because, like you said, this thing is not
gonna go away. The Democrats have this, you know, have
this bone bone in their teeth, and they're gonna keep
pulling on They're gonna keepulling on this string until it
gets unraveled. To that and Massy too, So that's it's just,
you know, I don't know what what he thinks the
end game is on this other than releasing everything. I
you know, just turn it loose. I really don't care

(01:33:32):
who gets in trouble from it. If you did something wrong,
you gotta face the music, and we should turn it
all loose. You can have some transparency. You sunshine is
the best disaffect, and you can just move on from there.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
we talk politics, pop culture, and all the other things
we love to talk about. Uh we I don't think
anybody feels bad Jim about watching potential drug smuggler and
whatnot gang members get blown up. But I will say this,

(01:34:06):
I mean, I I have my reservations because it's international waters.
They got lucky. What would happen if they're in the
US waters. Secondly, we are not always great at this.
Let's be honest. We have made more than a few
mistakes at bombing houses or places that we thought these
bad guys were at, only to pay fifty gazillion dollars

(01:34:28):
somewhere else. It's it's a weird thing because, yeah, we
got a problem with the fentanyl and drugs and gangs
and the narco terrorism. That being said, there is a
fine line here.

Speaker 33 (01:34:40):
Absolutely, and I agree with just about absolutely everything you
said there. It's like, you know, I wasn't feeling sorry
for watching that boat blowing up, but to think about
what kind of ratifications about this? And you know, are
we one hundred and fifty percent sure that that is
exactly what was on board? You know, wasn't some other
sob story that like, you know, that they can tell
about that it was some you know, family on a trip,

(01:35:00):
you know, getting away from oil terrorists or some strange
thing like that. So no, I'm pretty sure that they
got the people. I'm pretty sure they were bad guys
on that boat. It does kind of you start going
a little extracurricular on those things. And let's put this way,
if they had blown up the boat and we didn't
know about.

Speaker 5 (01:35:17):
It for a year, I would have been a lot
happier about that. I don't. I know that probably it doesn't.

Speaker 33 (01:35:22):
Seem like the right thing to say, but it just
kind of doesn't put that out there and give Venezuela
something to come back with us on, and it doesn't
make us look as bad in the in the world
of public opinion if we did it as kind of
more of a clandestine effort that was part of our
narco terrorism. Because I'm sure this probably isn't the first

(01:35:42):
time we've done something like this, but we don't generally just
throw a video out there to prove that we've done it. Now,
if this can somehow intimidate them, which I doubt it will,
but if that was possible, that would intimidate them and say, look,
we're going to keep doing this, So if you want
to keep trying it, we got better technology than you.
We can keep blowing your boats up. So do you
want to find a way to resolve this or do

(01:36:03):
you want us to keep blowing your boats up and
they will back down? That would be great, but I'm
afraid that they may not. And then it also opens
the option about them trying something against us. Not that
I think they'd be successful, but still it kind of
gives them a reason to sort of level the score
in a sense. And like I said, we just did
this and as more of a clandestine op that wasn't broadcast.

Speaker 5 (01:36:26):
I think that'd be great.

Speaker 33 (01:36:27):
But you know, Trump, as much he likes to put
his wins out there and he likes to break yeah,
we got those guys, he can't do that again. We're
cleaning up the problem, and he likes to you know,
he likes to get credit for that. He likes everyone
to come and say, oh, wonderful, Donald Trump, thank you
very much for doing that.

Speaker 5 (01:36:42):
And I appreciate him doing it.

Speaker 33 (01:36:43):
But maybe if we just kept it as a clandestine
op and maybe announce some sort of wrap up a
year from now or six months from now, maybe would
a better way to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
Indeed, talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy instead of public policy research,
we moved from there to some I talked about earlier
this week. It is we had Nigel Faras here the
other day. He thinks that you know, he looks and
he's wondering, why is Britain become North Korea. There's an
average of thirty people a day being taken into custody

(01:37:11):
over Facebook post, Twitter post, just ridiculous stuff. Even if
you put something out there and take it down, it
doesn't matter this. You know, there are older brother. They're
not our bigger brother. They are our older brother. And
I am not sure what the hell is going on
over there, because even Keir Starmer acts like, well, this

(01:37:35):
shouldn't be we should we should care about free speech,
but he's not really doing anything to slow this damn
thing down. And I wouldn't go there right now because
I know I've said stuff and or tweeted stuff that
would absolutely I'd be waiting for them to storm the
damn you know plane and take me off.

Speaker 33 (01:37:52):
Yeah, yeah, five five five armed bobbies or whatever it
was and come to come or come to arrestue.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
And by the way, they were not happy about that.
They were very upset and they weren't thrilled by that.
From what I understand, they said that they need to
figure something out when it comes to stuff like this.
They don't need a scene like this. And if you
guys don't know where. We're talking about an Irish comedian
who is not English or British. He's Irish, was taken

(01:38:20):
off of an airplane about tweets he did in April
when he was living in Arizona. He's a writer, and
it is. It's embarrassing, man, Oh it is.

Speaker 5 (01:38:30):
It's absolutely nuts.

Speaker 33 (01:38:32):
And yeah, I don't blame you, and I'm you know,
I'm there's probably something I put out there, and I'd
write pretty pretty moderate stuff. I'm not really a bomber
when it comes to online stuff. But yeah, I'd even
be concerned if I was going to there for a
golf trip. I'd love to go to Scotland and play golf.
But I got to think about it now a little
bit about what I've got on my social media pages, or.

Speaker 5 (01:38:49):
Am I go to? Well Ireland? I can do.

Speaker 33 (01:38:51):
But yeah, it's crazy, and it's like, well, you know
you said they weren't happy about doing it. Well, somebody
pulled the strings on this to tell them to go
do it. Somebody's running this camp a Starmar's going like we, oh,
I'm not sure we should do it. Well, aren't you
in charge? I mean, somebody that's got dirt on you,
that's blackmailing you, that's making you do this. I mean,
I mean, I can't see Trump coming out and saying, oh,
I do know what was going you know, well I

(01:39:13):
wouldn't have really approved of that going on. Now Trump
generally knows what's going on in the country, and starmers
should take Starmar's got to take the blame for this.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I remember when this first first
one through eighteen ish months ago, when they first passed this,
the legislation that went through, somebody asked them about, well,
if somebody in America did that, would you rule out

(01:39:34):
going to America to arrest somebody, And they wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (01:39:37):
They really wouldn't answer the question.

Speaker 33 (01:39:38):
They kind of dodged it, and it was kind of like, well,
we'll see what happens on that. So, you know, because
like an America journalists asked that and they're like, well that,
you know, that's not really a no. That's kind of
it's like seriously that you know, the British are going
to start sending over their truth, you know, their their
police to arrest people in Colorado for making you know,
offensive posts about trans people.

Speaker 5 (01:39:59):
Yeah, you know, some being non woke that they don't.

Speaker 33 (01:40:01):
Like that's ridiculous, and yeah, and this situation has just
escalated it. And between that and the girl up in
Scotland with the with with the acts, I think, I
really think that the Britain's got to be getting pretty
close to a tipping point because I just think that
people aren't gonna keep or aren't gonna put up with
this though the problem is they try to protest and
put put offensive posters up when they're protests, and they're

(01:40:21):
gonna probably wind up getting arrested for that too. And
it's absolutely crazy. And I don't know. The wokeness needs
to stop, and I don't know where they're going to
finally figure out that that that they've they've they've gone
beyond the point of common sense on this. They've really
lost a plot on this, and all it's going to
do is give give LeFarge a lot of backing and

(01:40:42):
and you know, because I'm sure he's still gonna I'm
sure he's not ruling out running again, correct, Chad, Oh No,
for us.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
It's gonna win. I mean, he's gonna run. And I
think everybody's is kind of resigned. If if if you're
on either a Tory of the Conservative or Labor that
his Reform Party is going to win. I don't think
because the Tories, the Conservatives they kind of held they
held it for a long time and the last several
years has kind of been a mess. I mean, Boris

(01:41:09):
Johnson and the freaking the Lady they had for an
hour and a half and then they got you know,
Kis Starmer, and he's been ten times worse, and Farage
has always been there. And I think he's going to
I think he's gonna win. I just don't think it's
it's not gonna happen. I think he is. At some
point in time, it's gonna happen. And I think he's
gonna kick this stuff back. And by the way, next

(01:41:30):
Saturday in the UK, in Central London, London is called
the United Kingdom Free Speech Vessel, led by Tommy Robinson.
If you know who Tommy Robinson is, he's been probably
the most outspoken of people. He's been in and out
of jail. I mean, he's he was a bit of
a nutter. He had he had his time. He's got
him so he's grown up a little bit. But he
was a bit of a whack could do at certain times.
But they're expecting one million people potentially there, and I

(01:41:56):
don't know what that's gonna look like if they try
to shut that down.

Speaker 5 (01:42:00):
Yeah, well they're not going to be able to.

Speaker 33 (01:42:01):
I don't think they don't have that could just that
could turn into a I wouldn't say a civil war,
but I could certainly turn into a huge riot if they.

Speaker 5 (01:42:06):
Try to shut it down.

Speaker 33 (01:42:08):
I don't know if they're gonna have the I don't
think they have the personal issue now.

Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
I think if they have one hundred thousand, I don't
have the person the personnel to do it.

Speaker 33 (01:42:14):
So yeah, but yeah, I saw something was on the
calendar for that coming up on it, and yeah, this
is ridiculous. This has gone beyond a tipping point. This
is beyond any you know, this is beyond that. What
was it the what was that thing that the Biden
administration had with.

Speaker 5 (01:42:28):
The woman jankob all the ministry this information?

Speaker 33 (01:42:32):
Yes, it was Yeah, and it was just like and
once that got out in America, that just got shut
down faster than you could believe. And of course they
think it was horrible that this, you know, But the
thing is, I don't trust them. When the next Democrat administration,
you know they're going to try something like that. They're
just not going to publicize it, and they're gonna put
it in deep inside three other departments, so you'll never
know where it is unless you dig through everything. So

(01:42:54):
I think that's you know, that's coming the next administration.
But even in America we shut that down and in
about a week because of the stupidity of it.

Speaker 5 (01:43:02):
And it's like, well, what do you mean You're gonna
be the determiner of what free.

Speaker 33 (01:43:04):
Speeches and what hate speeches? Yeah, this is ridiculous. Yeah,
I mean, Britain has just lost a plot on this.
I'm just I'm really sad about it. I mean, you know,
I thought that in some ways they've got more free
speech rights so we do. They certainly done with the media,
and I know their laws on celebrities being you know,
where they can sue for libel and malice and all

(01:43:25):
that is a lot different than it is in America.
But yeah, this is crazy and and and you know
it's certainly going to be an important story. I know
it's not in America, but there's gonna be raifications, especially
if them.

Speaker 5 (01:43:36):
If they started wrestling Americans. Yeah, go over there.

Speaker 2 (01:43:39):
Yeah, I'm waiting for that. That'll be interesting. His name
