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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What you can't see is my not so shocked fase
because of all of the bad ideas. This whole thing
with what's going on in Iran and the Straits of
hard moves. It's a bad idea. We knew that. We
told you that right here, and we'll continue to tell
you that because the one thing we've always talked about

(00:35):
is the fact that we're great at getting in stuff.
We're bad at sticking the landing. All right, we all
agree we're not great at sticking the landing. This was
a bad idea. There is no good way to get
out of this. We have strengthened a regime and we
have weakened ourselves. We have made ourselves weaker to the world.

(01:00):
Let's not pretend for a moment that somehow this has
benefited us. It has not, and continues to look horrible.
Over the weekend, Iran comes out with a long list
of stuff that they want before they decide to open

(01:21):
up the Straits of Hormis.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
It is a long list.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
There they're saying that not only does the US have
to let up on its blockade, not only does the
US have to pay reparations for damages caused by the
war effort. It also has to agree to stop saying
anything negative about the Iranian regime that it's got to
take all forces out of the Middle East writ large.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. I think we
recognize that, like how they were like and you guys
can't be mean to us anymore. You can't call us
names because we don't like that. Okay, it's our feelings,
So stop calling us names.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
After decades of sanctions, iron is pretty good atwithstanding economic turmoil,
economic pain. So it really is a bit of a
game of chicken that who is going to balk first?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I will tell you who's going to walk first the chicken?
Who's the chicken?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I mean, And I wonder once again I have to
for all the people out there who are like Merger, Yeah,
this is not about whether or not our military can
whoop their ass. This is not about whether or not
we could go in there and essentially turn it into
a glass factory. Has nothing to do with that. It

(02:42):
has to do with the reality of what's in front
of us and what we're willing this administration is willing
to do. He's put us in a bad situation. Let's
not pretend that he has it. He has failed on
his promises. He has pissed many people off in the
region who no longer want us there, Jordan being one

(03:05):
of them. He has made mistake after mistake and continues
to do so. We have to do something or we
have to get out. Those are our two choices, and
neither of them is a win. Neither of them is.

(03:27):
One of them has the potential for being catastrophic in damage,
and the other one has and will realistically continue to
haunt Trump now for the rest of his presidency. So
protection for Iran's regional allies, sanctions, relief, release of frozen

(03:52):
Iranian funds, of course, the end of the tax and
the threats and whatnot, and the compensation whatever that is.
I don't know how much they're asking for. This is
a absolute failure, Okay, a failure. And then you got
to say, well, do we even have enough missiles at
this point in time, because one of the things that's

(04:13):
been a big deal about this is the fact that
we can't seem to defend our allies in the region
in a way that makes them feel comfortable. Okay, we
just we don't have it. So you start going on
and looking at that, and then you start thinking, well,
how much is this costing us? Because I don't know

(04:35):
if you're aware of this. We're in debt.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
The war has already cost about thirty seven billion dollars.
The Trump administration is asking for another sixty seven billion
from Congress.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And we talk about how much money it is to.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Make those Patriot missiles nearly four million dollars each. Well,
compare that to how much it takes to make a
Narnian drone. That's about thirty five thousand dollars each, So
quite a difference.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, right, Hey, where's your son's set of curiosity? Yeah?
I thought they were the brand new, uh, the brand
new you know, drone specialist. You're gonna build some special
drones to shoot at their drones so we can have
drone wars rather than this. God, we should be frustrated.
Why aren't more people frustrated? And I'm looking at you, Maga,

(05:18):
I'm looking at you. I'm absolutely looking at you, going
why aren't you speaking up? Where are you? Where are
you in this? It's a fair question, where the hell
are you? Go? Look at the numbers, by the way,
here's the numbers, because how does this affect you, Well,
it affects you in a lot of different ways, one
of which, by the way, is the cost of life.

(05:41):
Last week negative twenty three thousand jobs. They expected eighty thousand.
HASID comes out on Friday. Right, he's a guy, looks
like a weasel, looks like the guy that you'd beat
up at school as a kid, because he's just he's
a snitch on everything it comes to, fun roader. So
Hasse comes out agains well underneath it, all jobs look great? Right?

(06:04):
Doge really stopped a lot of the over hiring of stuff,
And you're like, Doge was a joke. Governmental Accountability Agency
came out the other GAO, Government Accountability Organization comes out
to the other day and says, what ninety six percent
of what Doge said they did they can't account for

(06:26):
and they didn't really do. Then you've got him going
on top of the no federal hiring. One of the
reasons that jobs are down is because the World Cup
came to an end. And you're like, you knew that
was going to happen, so good, try what do we
care about the cost of life?

Speaker 7 (06:43):
The numbers released on Friday show that wage growth is
not keeping up with inflation. Average hourly earnings barely rose
from June. Inflation is at three point five percent. That's
above the Central Banks target of two percent. Se n
Pole a few months ago found that sixty one percent
of Americans have said that they had to cut back
on groceries.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
Is that not a problem?

Speaker 9 (07:04):
Well, sure is a problem. Grocery prices were way too high.
You know, it started out we basically printed money and
helicopter dropped into the US and created a twenty percent
inflation in the past. You know, I go to the
grocery store, I do the shop, and I keep an
eye up prices every week, and there's stuff like the
price of beef that's still really, really high and very

(07:25):
problematic for people. The thing is that you mentioned the
one month number that if you aggregate over the Trump term,
then again, the typical overall worker is making one thousand
dollars more after adjusting for inflation, and three or four
thousand more if they're in a blue collar job, and
so those people have more money for groceries. But grocery
prices are still high, and we've still got a lot

(07:47):
of work to do now, One of the things that
we've been doing is that we've been taking steps to
address these issues. So we started out with av and flu,
and everybody was talking about egg prices. Egg prices are
really low right now. And we just have this massive
effort by Brooke Rollins to address this pest this coming
in and made us we have to shut the border

(08:07):
to Mexico so that the pest wood spread all over
the US. And we just reopened the border from Mexico.
So there should be good news on beet prices right
around the border.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Remember, when it comes to inflation, they take a lot
of stuff out right, and we get the inflation numbers
on Wednesday. Thing, So they take a lot of stuff out,
like the stuff that matters, like well, you know, gas
and rent and things of that nature. Stuff that you
need food. That being said, it's a cumulative effect with inflation.

(08:41):
I've always said this is said it under Biden. So
don't go you know, no, I said under Biden. Right,
if they say if you bought one hundred dollars worth
the groceries and they say it's up nine percent, it's
not one hundred and nine bucks. It's cumulative effect. Some
of us up three percent, some of us up twelve percent,
some of us up fifteen percent, some of six percent.

(09:02):
So when you go up there you find out, oh
wait a minute, here, my real cost here is about
one hundred and twenty two bucks, not one hundred and nine.
So think of a compound interest, compound inflation. Trump's dealing
with the same thing, and it is frustrating, it is,
and this is all self inflicted, and it's not going

(09:26):
to get better anytime soon. I'm telling you guys that
it's just not not a naysayer being honest. You want honesty,
I give you honesty. You don't want that. That's a
youth thing. Right now, They've got a stranglehold on the straits,
which is going to compound this situation because gas prices

(09:53):
are going to remain stubbornly high. And at this point
in time, nationwide, some of you may be living like
I'm paying three six, three eighty four gas depending. You know,
some places you can get a little cheaper, but on average,
but you look nationwide, it's gonna be over four dollars.
That's crazy. And as we head into labor day, it's
geting a little bit more expensive. Why is that? More

(10:16):
travel more pressure. And then one of the things that's
not being talked about is the refineries in Russia that
have been blown up or taking those things offline. And
you couple all of that with oh, yeah, let's not
forget that over there, it's still a hornet's nest. And
this weekend what took place. Israel came out and said, yeah,

(10:39):
your peace plan, we don't like it here with Hamas,
so we're not going to do it.

Speaker 10 (10:43):
In a real break with the president and Netanyahoo is
rejecting Trump's latest Gaza plan. Now, Hamas had agreed to
this fifteen point plan to disarm as long as Israel
withdrew from Gaza first. And when the US brokeered this
plan at the end of last month, the President told
me that Israel was quote very happy about it. But
now net and Yahoo is making clear that is not
the case, that they are not on board. He says

(11:06):
that they will only withdraw when Hamas disarms first.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, do you think that's gonna happen? Neither of them
trust each other. By the way, Israel's been pounding Hamas
since the seasfire has been on, So do I think
that that's gonna happen now, and he's going through a big, giant,
huge election come the full. You couple that with all

(11:31):
of the controversies and the trials that are going on. Yeah,
you never. You never once for a second, as I said,
thought that that was going to happen, that they were
gonna go, Yeah, we'll do that. Gonna be interesting. Coming up.
A lot of stuff to get today, including our buddy
Jim Kennedy. Kennedy is Suited of Public Policy Research, joining

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Like I said, our buddy Jim Kennedy's going to join
the program today. Also Tupac Shakur, the trial begins of
his murder Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
The Battle of the AI political ads is here.

Speaker 12 (13:15):
In one Republican Ken Paxton is seen driving a convertible
with two mistresses as passengers. In another ad, his Democratic opponent,
James Tallarico is deficted in a dress singing about transgender rights.

Speaker 13 (13:30):
Boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes.

Speaker 12 (13:33):
Texas is one of twenty nine states with laws against
AI generated political ads, but here the ban applies only
within thirty days of an election.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
So it's very interesting because a lot of the states
that have passed laws, the laws are they're very fuzzy
because we had a big deal here in Nashville about
several ads that went out there were a in nature,
and we have rules against that, except for the fact

(14:05):
that the rules against that are only if it is
a state and not a federal election. These two are
running to be congress people, so they didn't have to
follow the same rules as if they were running to
be a state congressperson or a state senator or something
of that nature. It is crazy too, because first of all,

(14:26):
they're not very good. Most of the time they're not.
And because you're able to do like you put what
you're gonna put tall Rico in address right, and oh
it's like, oh, look what do you guys have here?
And he's trans and you're like, okay, but it doesn't
even look a lot of times just solid. Yet it's

(14:51):
so hilarious because now you can do the most absurd
things to try to get your opponent to, you know,
I guess get in the mud with you and both
sides are gonna do it now everywhere, so be prepared
for what's coming. It's bad enough that we have to
sit through the dumbest ads all the time. Okay, it's

(15:13):
bad enough we've got to sit through that and how
the other side, because rarely do you go let me
tell you what I'm gonna do to help you. It's
always the opposite. The other side sucks, the other side's
the worst. They're going to destroy the world, and now
we have to watch it in absurdity, cause it's gonna
be absurd I'm telling you, it's silly season. And for

(15:34):
many of you, you're getting more and more of these.
For some just getting through the primaries, like we were here,
We're gonna get a rest bit for a week or two,
and then boom it is on. Because really after Labor
Day it's a straight shoot of chaos and craziness when
it comes to how much money's going to be spent,
and people flooding the airwaves, flooding the television. It's just, oh, lordy, lordie,

(15:58):
it just never seems to end. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three. At Chad Benson Show
is your act, your insta love hearing from all of you.
Can also email the show Chadbentson Show at gmail dot com.
Right here on The Chad Benson Show, we've got several
text messages. By the way, and emails first one U
seven two four. I was reading the comment on Iran's leader.

(16:20):
To me, they didn't sound like a country that is
ready to surrender, but a nation of control. Do we
not anticipate that hormos will be the biggest weapon? No,
I don't think Trump did. Trump and the Huberists and
all of this in the way that this has gone down.
I don't think he thought for a second that they
were going to do this. And now that they have,
obviously the control right now is in their hands, and
we have to ask ourselves, well, he does how long

(16:43):
is this going to go on? I have no idea.
I don't think anybody does at this point in time,
because every day it seems to change. Email from a
lady named Carolyn. By the way, last week we were
talking about locally here we had a guy who is
pushing hard, who was running to be the governor, who
wanted to outlaw Islam and Christianity is the only religion.

(17:04):
And I mentioned which form of Christianity? And I said,
are you going to outlaw the Catholics? The Mormons?

Speaker 14 (17:11):
Right?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
All of this? I mean so, and somebody, of course
they heard something it wasn't true, and they said, I
heard your show and heard you say Mormons aren't christian.
I never said that, Carolyn. I said, which form of
Christianity is this guy gonna go? Because everybody's version of
Christianity is the right version and everybody else's maybe isn't

(17:33):
the right version, if that makes sense. Speaking of politics,
Jim Kennedy joins the program straight ahead because it is
Midterm Monday. Is Chad Benson Chow then.

Speaker 15 (17:41):
Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 16 (18:05):
Now it's time for midterm Mondays, where we break down
the biggest races.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
From the mid terms.

Speaker 16 (18:11):
Who will control the House, who will control the Senate.
We discussed with Jim Kennedy Midterm Monday.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
It is that time. I'll talk go about Jim Kennedy
and the Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Reach hears little
Midterm Monday. All right, Jim, let's start with the douchebags
of the week, because one of them is stepping away
and the other one's saying, I'm not going anywhere until
you guys fire me, and I think they're going to
fire him. Let's start with mister Miller.

Speaker 17 (18:37):
Max Miller, Ohio seven. The deadline was yesterday Sunday for
him to withdraw from the race. So he cannot withdraw,
so the GOP cannot and the UP cannot force him
off the ballot. He can still withdraw and basically he
would not be replaced, so the Democrat would win by default.
The GOP can take legal action against it, but I
don't know where in Ohio law they would have a

(18:58):
leg to stand on. So he kind of seems like
he's pretty much figured out that he is going to Basically,
he's going down for this for being a douchebag and
unfortunately treating women horribly, and he's going to take everybody,
including the Republican Party with him. It kind of sounds like,
I don't know, maybe it was in a district where
he thinks he can still win. Nobody else really does.
I remember he won this seat by fifteen points in

(19:20):
twenty four So right now it's a lean r race.
It is one of the competitive races. We have a
Midterm Monday www dot Midterm Monday dot com to track
all of the competitive races. I'm going to guess that
might be updated to toss up or lean Dee coming
in the next couple of weeks. But the production markets
have it at seventy nine to twenty one for Brian Poindexter, Democrat,
who just might be the luckiest Democrat in the country

(19:43):
because he was in a race he was not going
to win a month ago, and now it looks like
he just might be able to cruise to victory. He
might even have no one to run against.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy and student of Public Policy
research midterm Monday, Jim mister Edwards is also not the
guy from the amazing Little House in the Prairie. But
mister Edwards is going to be also leaving, but he's
not He's not jumping away just yet. But also another issue,
ethics problems. There's just way too many of these on

(20:12):
both sides. Who the hell are running for these things?

Speaker 17 (20:15):
But Chuck Edwards has stated that he's going to step
down from reelection, though he's staying in the seat after
escathing ethic report came out on Monday from the House
of Representatives. Basically the House recommended his censure. And he's
kind of the opposite of Maxi Miller. He's been treating
women in his office very very nicely, unfortunately to the
point of being creepy, nicey nicely by giving them too

(20:35):
many gifts and saying inappropriate things about how nice they
are and et cetera, et cetera. So he's gonna so
he's so he's got the ethics violation against that they
recommend his censure. You know, this is a seat that
he won by fourteen points, but now the Republicans still
have time to fill that ballot spot, so they won't
lose it from that. But right now it is the

(20:57):
prediction markets have it fifty five D forty five are
with Jamie Auger is the person who's the Democrat who
won that primary back in I believe was May or April.
So yeah, so we've got two guys here that are
basically should not be representing people but seem to be curly,
and they're gonna step And again, what is Johnson gonna do?

(21:17):
Is he gonna toss both both these guys out and
get himself down to basically a one or two seed
at most majority, or is he going to basically just unfortunately,
bite the bullet and if I want to get any
legislation pass, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to
basically just accept that they're going to stay there through
the end of their term.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute, Plug Policy Research. So
much stuff to get to tonight. Man, what do we
have anything exciting this week we need to pay attention to.

Speaker 17 (21:41):
Yeah, we've got a couple of ray he says, we've
got we got one of your favorite candidates, Mike Lindell.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Un Hey, Jim, Honestly, I feel like he thinks he's
got a chance. He stepped away from the MyPillow stuff.
Does he have a chance.

Speaker 17 (21:53):
He's leading in the lightest poll thirty four twenty eight
for Lisa de Mutth, who believe this is the series candidate,
and Ken Quall, who's an eighteen percent. Now, the prediction
markets are sixty forty for Dumuth winning over Lindell on
that point. But still, you know, this is still a
fairly blue state. So whoever wins is probably going to
be fodder because of going up against current Senator Amy Klobachar,

(22:15):
who is basically running unopposed for her nomination. So and
she's probably a fairly solid favorite to basically keep that seat.
I think that's a solid D or at least a
lean D. Governorship because of you know again, remember this
is the home of mister Wallas who ran for vice president,
who's all sorts of unwacky things as governor and still

(22:36):
stayed there for two terms. But yeah, I don't know
where we're getting why Lindell is still pulling this. Well,
I know he got in trouble because you're doing something
about trying to give away pillows for votes, and the
local court said no, you can't do that, and he's
still up thirty four to twenty eight. So I don't
know what people are thinking. I mean, this is how
you get people like we talked about a little bit earlier,

(22:56):
with the people that don't really qualify or really shouldn't
be representing people winning.

Speaker 18 (23:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (23:01):
Is the American electric come down to be so unattached
that simply if you see a name that you recognize,
you just vote for it because oh, okay, I know
who that person is. Yeah, I know bad things about him,
but I know that name, so that's a known quality.
I'll vote for that person. I don't know. I would
think we would do better in America, but I'm constantly
disappointed by the electorate not doing the right thing in

(23:22):
many many circumstances.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
You and me both, brother, you and me both. What
else do we have going on this sub siding.

Speaker 17 (23:27):
Let's see, in Minnesota, we've got the Sener race. Michelle
Tifoya is running. Two Democrats that are running, Peggy Flanagan
Lieutenant governor and Angie Craig. That's a toss up. The
prediction markets have flannagain. And then the one to really
watch because she's been popular on Twitter and for some
really interesting interviews is Democratic candidate for governor Francesca Hong

(23:50):
in Wisconsin. She's at ninety six percent. She's probably gonna
win that because their best chance Mendela Barnes dropped out
a couple of weeks ago. She's another DSA type. She
has come out stating that she wasn't like Thanksgiving and
then walked it back and said she does. She also
said that she had to leave a Culver's restaurant one
time because there are too many white people looking at
her and some other wacky things. So yeah, it's it's

(24:14):
fairly interesting. That's another one where I mean we talked
about the Republicans with bad candidates. She's probably gonna win
and it makes it a pretty solid chance for the
Republicans to pick up that governor seat. Now, the Republicans
have been there before. I've had that governor's seat recently,
but currently currently, you know, two months ago that was
going to be a pretty much a lean Democrat seat,

(24:36):
and that is now looking like pretty much going to
be probably a fairly easy Republican win if they can
manage to not screw it up there if she wins.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
On Tuesday, Jim Kennedy, Kennedy instud of Pulic Policy Research,
joining the program. Last week, we had some stuff, nothing
too exciting, you know, I mean, you know, we had
what Hawaii and the ones that we had over the
weekend blew this our state out here in Tennessee read
with no real massive well, let me phrase that. There

(25:05):
was only one massive upset and that was Andy Ogles,
who is and I have referred to him as a
douche canoe, and I will stand by those words on
numerous occasions. But he he didn't win a lot of
people thought he was because Trump got behind him, and
he's the Trump said the other night eight and one
outside of this guy.

Speaker 17 (25:24):
Yeah, no, he broke He ruined Trump's perfect record, which
means he'll probably come under quite a bit of scrutiny
from Trump now because you know how Trump, you know,
likes to be perfect when it comes to those things.
How dare you do anything that that that that would
be schmirch his record? But yeah, he lost to former
Tennessee Agricultural Commissioner Charlie Hatcher. So it'll be interesting. It's

(25:44):
still you know that race better than I do. You said,
it's still you think it may be somewhat more of
a competitive race, and you would think of it as
far as in solid red Tennessee, right.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, Chas Molder is the guy that he's going to
be taken on. He's the mayor of Columbia. He's a
sharp guy, he is. He has kind of got that
feel that Mundannie has without the hardcore, uh left leanings.
Because you know, it's it's it's going to be a
much more interesting because Hatcher is not very he's not

(26:16):
super outgoing. How's that It's it's so it's gonna be
very interesting to see how this thing plays itself out.
It's gonna be much more competitive than I think people
realize though.

Speaker 17 (26:23):
For sure, Yeah, I don't think of agriculture commissioner as
a as as a real fire starter type of guy.
Don't know, the gentleman, but that just is not a
post I think of for for people that are you know,
that are real fire brands that are out there, you know, preaching,
preaching from the from the pulpit time. I think it's
kind of a quiet thing. You sit there and you
you know, you make sure you keep the farmers happy,
and you know that's about it. I don't think of

(26:46):
somebody using that as a stepping zone. But you know,
he's able to make it into to a race for Congress.

Speaker 19 (26:51):
So on.

Speaker 17 (26:52):
Also, we've had, you know, you had the Senate or
you hat sorry, you had the governor's race with Marsha
Blackburn won the nomination. She's gonna face Jerry Green. That's
a solid our seat, no real chance for Jerry Green.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
And this one is there, you know what, I think
Jerry's going to make some noise. I don't know if
it's a real chance for her to win, but I
think Jerry'll do Okay. She is a she's smart, she's
not hardcore left. I mean, obviously she's pro choice, but
she's not that her thinks all about affordability. She's really
into the veterans. She doesn't want to raise taxes. She

(27:24):
wants to spend money better. If you if you didn't
see a D by your name, you would swear it
was a libertarian or a liberal conservative, if you will,
more than it was somebody on the left. But we
only vote dr here because that's what they do.

Speaker 20 (27:37):
Well.

Speaker 17 (27:38):
The thing, the reason I was asked by it is
is that I haven't sins any sort of enthusiasm for Marcia.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
It's like ther own no one, zero enthusiasm on my
local show man when I ask people to text in
if you're voting for Marcia, Nobody in months has texted
in and said I'm voting it for her. It's always eugh.
If I have to, I will. But I would say
for every one of those I get ten that says
I'll vote as a write in or I will vote

(28:05):
for the Democrat.

Speaker 17 (28:06):
Yeah. That's the thing is I mean, you know, it's
she's you know, she's probably gonna win it. But even again, yeah,
I just wasn't sensing any sort of any great groundswell
for her enthusiasm. It's just like you said, It's like, okay, yeah,
I know her name, and I don't know these other
two guys. So I'm gonna vote for her, and it's
you know, I vote for the Republican and she's been
in the Senate and you know, help Trump out, So

(28:26):
I'm going to vote for her. But you know a
lot of people are seeing especially as we get as
we move on towards a general, there there's a couple
of you know, there's been more than one race where
you're getting people like like that's one of the things
that Democrats have been kind of chatting about in these
two races with with with Miller and Edwards, where you know,
they're fairly red districts, but there's just not a lot
of enthusiasm for Republicans in general, regardless of how hardcore

(28:50):
your support for Trump is. Now Tennessee has read enough
that's probably not gonna matter, I don't think. But it's
really going to matter. It comes down to a lot
of these battleground races and stuff from the Republicans holding
the majority, who were talking about that last week where
where one of the political analyst firms was saying that
there's you know, the Democrats have to win fifty six

(29:11):
of seventy seven races to basically flip the House over
to Democrat and there's still like about a seventy five
is seventy percent chance that's going to happen. But again,
you know, if you're running these races, we just don't
have a lot of enthusiasm for candidates. That's not going
to bode well. And that's not something for people like
Marsha that has a track record that she's going to
be able to flip. Like I said, I don't think
she's in danger, but you would probably you know, it

(29:32):
wouldn't be surprising to find this race it's probably going
to come out closer than probably people would think it
would be.

Speaker 13 (29:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's I think it will. And
if she can get Marcia to debate, I think it
would be very interesting. She didn't debate either of the
guys she ran against. She doesn't feel like she has
to debate. And if she could get her to debate
at least once or twice, I think Jerry would give
her a run for money, no doubt.

Speaker 17 (29:56):
Yeah. No, there's some other races that I've seen that too,
where they're like I me, California, Javir Basera won't won't,
doesn't even want to debate, Steve Hilton, and people will
think that would be fairly interesting if he had to
answer some question. There's there's been some others where people
are just hide. I think uh down in Texas, I
don't think Paxson has been willing to debate tall Rico

(30:16):
as much as he's wanted to. It'll be interesting to
see if they do any sent if there's any Senate
debates in Michigan between l Said and Rogers, because that
would certainly be an interesting one. I'm not really sure
how it would go, whether that would be something because
l Said is pretty, is pretty well spoken. He's pretty
I don't know slicks the right word. But he's polished
as far as and that's why he's been able to

(30:37):
get I think, get as far as he did because
he is pretty polished. He doesn't he doesn't do mess ups.
He doesn't do like what this Francesca hang in Wisconsin
is doing with making ludicrous, crazy statements. He's like LSA's
more like Mundamie, not because he's Muslim, but because they're
very good speakers. They present themselves well, they they they

(30:57):
frame their arguments in a way, and they're also very
good if you watch them about when something comes up
that's a negative question to them, they're very quod back.
They're very quick about deflecting and moving it back to
their policies and how they're trying to help people out.
And they don't really go down answering negative questions, which
you know is good for their campaign staffs, but it

(31:17):
really maybe not good for the voters because the voters
don't get to hear things that maybe they want answers
to that those guys are not going to want to
talk about.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Reverence Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Tupac Shaker, remember him or Shakur? There's joke about called
Tupac Shaker. Tupac Shakur murdered long time ago, thirty plus
years and finally there may be a person brought to justice.
As the trial gets ready to begin of Kiefe d
Keefer D.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
Did I say that right?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Dwayne Davis? He goes by kify D. There you was
charged with Shakur's murderer.

Speaker 13 (33:48):
He's a self confessed longtime leader of the South Side
Crypts gang in Compton who has since retired to the
Vegas suburbs.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Prosecutors say Davis.

Speaker 13 (33:57):
Was the shot caller and orchestrated cho course drive by
fatal shooting near the Vegas Strip in nineteen ninety six,
in what they describe as this escalating gang rivalry that
came to a deadly hit that night in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
And you're thinking yourself, why did it take thirty years?
They being the cops long thought this guy was at
least part of it, if not the person who pulled
the trigger. They just didn't have enough. But as we know,
humans can't shut up.

Speaker 13 (34:25):
For years, Davis actually boasted about his involvement in the
shooting in multiple interviews with police, then on the pages
of a memoir, and in public media interviews after that,
and in fact, investigators have even credited Davis's own words
as helping to reinvigorate their investigation. They then took his

(34:46):
confessions and said about the work of shoring up their
case with other evidence, and finally brought charges in twenty
twenty three.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, so as it got further and further away, he
became more and more comfortable, did documentaries, he did interviews,
and then he did a a twenty nineteen memoir called
Compton Street Legend, which you described being inside of the
Cadillac that night, passing the gun towards the rear seat,
essentially saying he was a part of it. Now you're thinking, well,
were there other people in the car. There were three
other people. They're all dead, so nobody can if it's

(35:16):
true there were four people in the car. That doesn't
seem to be anybody else, then you really can't say
that he did it because those three are dead. It's
his words in his memoirs, among other things. It's going
to be interesting to see who will also testify, including
the likes of potentially Suge Knight, even though he said
he won't. So here we go, kids, another celebrity murder trial.

(35:39):
What do you think? Let me know. I want to
hear from you right here at the Chad Benson Joe
coming up hour number two, we're going to talk about
UAPs because it's time talking about UAPs. Another trunch of
stuff has been released. Talk a little bit about that
as well as what other things are trying to kill
us now nature wise, because there's got we got to
keep track of everything because everything seems to be about
to get us, whether it's bad lettuce or flesh eating bacteria.

(36:02):
Let's figure out what we need to do to stay safe,
because it's very important that we do that. Talk about
Iran as well. The latest there straits of horror moves.
Can't believe we're sitting here talking about this still. Oh
that's right, because we said we were going to be
doing that, and you get your urban word of the day.
Our Number two is straight ahead. This is the Chad

(36:23):
Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Iran and the Straits of Horror moves. Who's winning they are?
How could you say that it's because you hate America.
Here's a flag. No, it's because it's the reality of it.
It's the reality of what's going on. I explained this
and Mike Lions are military anists. We've all explained this
to you guys on numerous occasions. Even Zach Abraham has

(37:18):
explained this to you. As we've talked about this. The
streets not very big. If you've seen the movie three hundred,
when you shake it down, well, there's only so many
people to get into an area. That's what they did
in the three hundred, right, They made it so you
can only fight in a certain area. What happens it

(37:41):
becomes a nightmare. Well, Chad, that's ridiculous because we're not
talking about fighting people. No, Well, we're talking about trying
to move stuff through an area where everything is going
to be vulnerable. Okay, So we're trying to say and
right now it's theirs. They own it.

Speaker 19 (38:02):
The Strait of Hormuz remains a key flashpoint. Former Secretary
of Defense Mark Esper calling Iran's criteria for reopening the strait.

Speaker 17 (38:10):
While that agreement sits on a precipice, they've put forward
demands of the United States which frankly are ridiculous and
should be rejected out of hand.

Speaker 19 (38:17):
Iranian officials say they're close to a deal with Oman
that will secure temporary navigation through part of the strait,
but any broader agreement is contingent on the US.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Right now, what we have going on, okay, and what
you guys understand this, it's a battle of ego for Trump.
Trump is trying to figure out how he doesn't have
to exit this in a loss. That's what he's trying

(38:49):
to do. How can he escape this without taking a
political loss where the powers.

Speaker 21 (38:55):
That be.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Can say you've won, sir, you are the best. It's
like you are Alexander the Great and he's like, I know,
check out my new hair because he's got a wig.
And I think we all know it. If you guys
have to see, the memes are amazing. But that being said,
it's the truth. It's the he's trying to fit. This

(39:19):
is all about ego at this point in time. There
is nothing going on at this moment in time that
we're going to be able to change they And here's
the issue right now with them. They're used to suffering, right,

(39:41):
They're used to You ever, you ever lived in the
heat for a long time or the cold, and then
you go somewhere and when you're there, you're like, they're like, who,
what's hot one? And you're like, this isn't too bad.
This is all right. I lived in this, There's no
big deal. It's the same thing they've lived in. Hell,

(40:02):
they've lived during sanctions. They're looking around going, eh, we're
kind of used to this. So this is where we
are at this moment in time. And now they've got
these demands where like, you can't even say anything bad
about the regime. It's just some of them ridiculous. It's
kind of like the movie Diehard, where you know, he's

(40:23):
given the list of demands at the end and he
throws in this group and he's like who are they
and they're like, ah, I read them last week in people.
It's kind of like just throwing stuff out there, and
that's what's going on. So this was a catastrophic failure.
We said it was going to be a catastrophic failure
because we weren't getting into this because we really believe

(40:48):
that they had nuclear weapons. We were getting into this
because yes, Israel wanted us to Let's not pretend that
and I'm not talking about the people Israel, right, because
we always have to preface that correctly, because otherwise we're like, oh,
it's because you hit the Jews. No, it's because that's
the reality of it, and that's where we are. So

(41:09):
be prepared for this wackadonists to continue and for prices
to be high. It's just that simple. Meanwhile, speaking of crazy,
over the weekend, I got into a debate with several
people who want to do debate me over DSA and
the difference between democratic socialists and social democracies, right, because

(41:30):
you have to have this debate because it's what we do.
That's what I'm here for and I'm fine with that.
And everybody's like, you just don't understand communism's coming to America. Like,
first of all, Communism's always been here, wackad do Communist
organizations have always been here, And yeah, the DSA is

(41:52):
a bit of a hot mess.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
It is.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
That being said yesterday, aoc on with Jonathan Carl right,
and so is there you know ABC show on Sundays,
and she's talking about a lot of things, but one
of them was brought up about, you know, the communists.

Speaker 22 (42:11):
What in your mind is the difference between socialism and communism.

Speaker 23 (42:15):
I think, to me, the fundamental differences. I mean, there's
there's many. One prevailing one is democracy, and I believe
that democratics socialists are fundamentally pro democracy. And we believe
in the ballot box. We believe in in respecting the

(42:37):
outcomes of elections and governing democratically.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
That's one, you know, it's a big one. The realistic
thing is not only is it that, it's the fact
that it's capitalism. So social democracy is capitalism. The DSA
is a lot of things. It's not just just the lunatics,
because there's plenty of them. We all know that it

(43:03):
is about capitalism with some guardrails we don't. You know,
It's funny when I hear people talk about capitalism. We
don't have a free market. We have a market that
is very much rigged for the upper upper upper class.

Speaker 14 (43:19):
We do.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Is it better than any other system out there?

Speaker 20 (43:23):
It is?

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Does it have flaws. Oh absolutely. Has capitalism brought more
people out of poverty and delivered them to the amazing
world of being able to feed themselves, eat and live
in a sustainable way. It has are their problems. Of course,
nothing is perfect. Nothing is perfect, which brings me to

(43:47):
this and we've talked about this before. We've done this
on the show before nineteen sixty seven Dragnet episode called
The Big Departure. A bunch of teenagers want to start
their own country off the island California, right, So they
steal from the local store. They do all of this stuff,
and then they get caught by Joe Friday and Bill Gannett.

(44:08):
They get caught and in there, you know, they're talking
about you know how much these guys, right, the old
dudes just don't understand.

Speaker 8 (44:15):
You just don't understand.

Speaker 14 (44:17):
Maybe we do.

Speaker 24 (44:18):
So don't think you have a corner on all of
virtue vision in the country, or that everybody else is
fat and selfish and you're the first generation to come
along that's felt dissatisfied. They all have, you know, about
different things, and most of them didn't have the same
opportunity and freedoms that you do. Let's talk poverty most
places in the world. That's not a problem. It's a
way of life and rights. They're liable to give you

(44:38):
a blank stare because they may not know what you're
talking about. The fact is more people are living better
right here than anywhere else ever before in history. So
I don't expect us to roll over and play dead
when you say you're dissatisfied. It's not perfect, but it's
a great deal better than when we grew up one
hundred men standing in the street hoping for one job
selling apples on the street corner. That's one of the
things we were dissatisfied about. And you don't see that

(44:58):
much anymore.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
So they start going into the kids, right they've already
read them the Riot Act about all kinds of stuff,
but now they're going to give it to them the
straight skinny about like, hey, you guys, you think you're
the first right to do this. You're going to go
set up someplace you don't even know how to work weapons,
you don't even know how you're going to feed yourselves.
But you think because you stole some cans of food
and some and a generator, that magically all this stuff's

(45:23):
going to happen, and you don't realize how good you
have it here right this second, right now, because you
don't understand it. And I remember the Vietnam War. All
of this stuff is going on, but.

Speaker 21 (45:34):
Taller, stronger, healthier, better educated, and you live longer than
the last generation. And we don't think that's altogether bad.
You've probably never seen a quarantine sign in your neighbor's door,
diphthery of scarlet fever, whooping off. Probably none of your
classmates are crippled with polio. You don't see many mestoids
cars anymore.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Give it time. Rf K Junior's working on that, bringing
those things back.

Speaker 21 (45:55):
We've done quite a bit of fighting all around the world,
whether you think it was moral or not. A lot
of people are free to do to make their own
mistakes because of it. And that may just include you.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 24 (46:04):
Maybe part of it's the fact that you're in a hurry.
You've grown up on instant orange juice, flip a dial,
incident entertainment dial seven digits, instant communication, turnique, push a pedal,
instant transportation, flashy card, instant money, shoving a problem, push
a few buttons, instant answers, but some problems you can't
get quick answers to, no matter how much you want them.

(46:25):
We took a little boy in the Central Receiving Hospital yesterday.
He was four years old. He weighs eight and a
half pounds. His parents just have him bothered to feed him.
Give me a fast answer to that one, one that'll
stop that from ever happening again. And if he can't
settle that one, what about the fifty five thousand Americans
who will die on the highways this year. That's nearly
six or seven times the number that will get killed

(46:46):
in Vietnam. Why aren't you up in arms about that?
Or is dying in a car somehow?

Speaker 25 (46:51):
Moral?

Speaker 24 (46:52):
Tell me how to wipe out prejudice. I'll settle for
just the prejudices you have inside yourselves.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Man, and the look on their when this is going
on now. Granted it's a dragnet episode to think that
this stuff hasn't been thought of or been around forever
in a day, but I think the thing that hit
the most, and this is when I talk to people
who you know, want this utopia is what they said here,
and I think this is spot on.

Speaker 8 (47:18):
Where do you plan to set up this utopia.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
We got a place where I can't tell you that
you got it all worked out.

Speaker 8 (47:24):
That's right now, perfect form of government.

Speaker 24 (47:26):
Nobody's ever made it work.

Speaker 9 (47:27):
We will, No, you won't.

Speaker 14 (47:29):
Why not?

Speaker 24 (47:30):
You haven't got perfect people.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Boom, perfect people. There are no perfect people, so you
can't have a perfect world. Our economy right now has
got some serious issues. There's no doubt we've got a
K shaped economies that they would like to call it,
where the wealthy are doing fantastic and everybody else is struggling.

(47:55):
And I tell my friends on the right pay attention
to that, have an understanding of how and why people
are so frustrated by what's going on, or you're going
to pay the price. Right now, the average person feels
like the system isn't fair. It's benefiting a small group
of people, and it's hard to argue that even if
it benefits you a little bit, life is becoming more

(48:17):
expensive and those benefits are negligible, while there are a
certain group of people that seem to be getting wealthier
and wealthier every day, and people are frustrated, and if
you continue to push them to a side and their
feelings and what they're living, you're going to pay the
price at the ballot box. Let me know what you
think like to hear from all of you. Three two, three, five,

(48:38):
three eight twenty four twenty three. Relief Factor is incredible.
Why is that? Because it works. Over a million people

Speaker 1 (49:50):

Speaker 2 (49:52):
It's coming for us, of course. I'm talking about all
of the things that we can. I'm at the point
now where I'm getting creeped out by food, like to
the point where I'm like, Okay, I don't even know
what to eat anymore. Whatever it is, I'm going to
deep fry it to kill anything that's on there which
probably isn't super healthy, and or I'm just going to
eat twinkies.

Speaker 26 (50:12):
The Food Safety and Inspection Service now saying several meat
and poultry products contain peppers that may be linked to
the growing outbreak in more than two dozen states. The
products include burritos, enchiladas, wraps, and salad sold at major
grocery chains like Kroger, Walmart, HB, and Albertson's.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
That's not good, so we got to worry about that.
Let's not forget. We're still trying to figure out the
whole thing. When it comes to the lettuce debacle that
gave you explosive diarrhea.

Speaker 20 (50:42):
According to the CDC and Betteral officials, the supplier from
Tailor Farms that has been stopped and the best buyer
to sell date or to lettuce that was involved. That's
all been recalled and it should be off of shells.
If you have it in your kitchen for some reason,
throw that out. So according to these reports, it is
safe now to eat us. But it's important to know
that n every case of cycledsprisis has been tied to

(51:03):
this iceberg lettuce.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Well, then don't tell me it's it's safe. You told
me what's safe, and then you said, but we haven't
figured out where it all came from. So how do
I know that everything is fixed?

Speaker 8 (51:15):
How do we know what am I gonna do when
ends out?

Speaker 20 (51:17):
Look at these recalls online, but also just cook your vegetables.
Washing it can be important, especially if you buy lettuce
and you buy the full head of lettuce in your.

Speaker 12 (51:25):
Move the outer layer.

Speaker 20 (51:26):
But this ran it is a stubborn parasite that clings
onto fruits and vegetables, so to try washing it with water,
but also one of those little scrub bushes.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
This seems like a lot of work for a salad.
I have to be honest with you. Now, everything well,
I don't know what else there is out there. How
about the flesh eating bacteria.

Speaker 20 (51:43):
These infections can potentially damage your stin and eat away
at tissue and fat. That's where the term fleshing a
bacteria that comes from.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Okay, okay, I don't like that. What is it evolved?
Is there food involved?

Speaker 20 (51:54):
Thoroughly cook those oysters and we see those remort those
warnings when you go to a restaurant by eating raw
or uncooked shell fish or sepod.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
So I have to worry about and thank god, I
don't eat seafood. But if you're going there, you got
to worry now about the seafood. But you're thinking, well,
is that it?

Speaker 20 (52:09):
If you have an open wound and you go into
the sea, always remember that that water is not clean
and bacteria such as this can cost severe infections.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Just stay indoors. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

Speaker 19 (52:22):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Follow me here for more safety tips right here on
the Jeed Benson Show. Lettuce wraps, jalapenos, some sort of
oysters and whatnot, swimming in the water. Let's not forget poultry,
the screwworm. This feels like there's a lot going on.
All we're trying to say is the best thing to

(52:43):
do is to really just relax and do nothing, stay
indoors and eat twinkies. Meanwhile, in Israel, no, they say
which I told you. They were going to say that,
I told you guys, Israel was going to say no
to the Fish Team point plan of peace with Israel

(53:03):
leaving Palestine and Gaza and exiting and then Hamas saying
to lay down their weapons. They're saying no, no, no.

Speaker 27 (53:12):
There's a lot of skepticism in Israel that Hamas would
abide by the letter of this peace plan put forward
by the Board of Peace that would call for it
to drop its weapons, to give over its weapons in
exchange for that phase withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.
And there is a reluctance here from the Israeli leaders
to do this because they don't believe that Hamas is
serious about that.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
And on top of that, it's politics. Net Yahoo's up
for reelection again. Obviously there's a lot of controversy around him.
So when politics comes into it, you know that this
isn't going to be as simple as it could be,
and not that it would ever be simple, because let's
be real, Israel is no want to give back any

(53:54):
of the land or to move out. They don't. They don't.
And he's in the midst of a tough race this fall.
He is up for reelection. So I think it's safe
to say that this is not going to happen. So
alas we move on. Coming up. Speaking of moving on,
let's go to space and beyond. Talk a little bit

(54:16):
UAPs among other things. Straight ahead, This is the Chad
Benson Show, Sun Chad.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Another tranch of stuff has come and been released. What
stuff UAPs, UFOs, underwater submerged thingies, unidentified submerges, those those things,
they're out there. Maybe av the lobe who's an astrophysicist

(55:06):
who looks for these things. Guys, smart smart, smart cookie.

Speaker 25 (55:11):
This fifth trunch of UPI data that was released today
is different from past releases because there are three remarkable
anomalies that are delivered in verbal testimonies rather than digital
data in the form of imagery or video as we
have seen before. In fact, I first tried to look

(55:33):
for those images or videos, but they were quite disappointing. Instead,
the three remarkable testimonies are as follows. One of them
is talking about a gunship that on September twenty twenty one,
was conducting a live fire exercise in the Gulf of
Oman and then notice twenty five instances of unidentified objects

(55:57):
that looked like cold orbs, and they are to react
to the aircraft firing. And we're moving together just like dolphins,
at the speed of up to one point seven times
the speed of sound.

Speaker 8 (56:11):
So it could be a very unusual swarm of drones.

Speaker 25 (56:15):
But at that speed, you know, it's really difficult to
understand them in terms of normal technologies.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Yes, so that's a little scary, right, because what we
always said, would you rather be an interdimensional type of situation,
I mean, the UFOs whatever, or would you rather be
our enemies that have stuff that is so sophisticated, continue sir.

Speaker 25 (56:37):
Then there is a second report which talks about an
analog clock that went faster by twenty minutes relative to
two digital clocks after an encounter with an unidentified the
anomalous phenomena. And that's very strange. It only happened during

(56:58):
that time and twenty minute. It's a significant time difference.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Yes, that is a significant time difference. And he's explaining
all of these there's also some interesting you know, footage
as well. And I'm telling you they're easing us into
it because we as human beings have shown we we panic,
we do. The average person just freaks out. I mean
the stuff that is slowly but surely coming out, and

(57:26):
I wish it was more, but I just feel like
it's got to be such a drip, drip drip, because
if you just to unleash it to everybody, it's just
so hard and it was always going to come out.
You know, we're talking about Tupac Shaker Shakur. I know,
but Tubox murder has been thirty years and the guy

(57:48):
who allegedly did it, the reason they're going after him
and they've got him on trial now is because he
couldn't give his mouth shut. We know this inherently human
beings can't keep their damn mouth shut.

Speaker 8 (57:59):
Then testimony by the FBI.

Speaker 25 (58:04):
It deals with two American pilots that were flying over
Afghanistan and they witnessed the craft that measured five hundred
feet and moving at a speed of one hundred and
fifty knots, which is seventy seven meters per second. The
problem is that there is no existing operational aircraft that

(58:24):
matches the size, and speed. The largest aircraft ever built
spans about three hundred and eighty five feet short of
the five hundred feet that was reported, So that's really strange.
And the same pilot reported were pitting sightings of, you know,
during October twenty twenty three, somewhere between midnight and three

(58:48):
am of strange lights that appeared that cannot be explained
as satellites because they lasted for hours, whereas satellites often
you see them for five to seven minutes before they
cross below the horizon.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
So interesting again, size areas, how fast they go. I mean,
and I do believe it's when, but not if. This
comes out. This changes a lot of stuff for a
lot of people. You know, I've always said that religion
plays a huge role in this, because what is that
due to religion? Some people? Oh, they already talk about

(59:29):
it in the Bibles. Again, I think that plays a
huge role. But it's also just panic people panic. I mean,
my god, you better start getting your toilet paper ready,
because God only knows what will happen when this comes out.

Speaker 25 (59:41):
The biggest mistake a scientist can make is not being
curious when the US government, which is not a scientific organization,
comes forward and says, you know, we are not doing
our job. There are objects we cannot identify that appear
in battlefields, that appear over strategic assets within the US
American citizen. It's my duty to help the Pentagon the

(01:00:03):
intelligence agencies to figure these things out because at the
very least it's a matter of national security. There is
also a chance that we're seeing technologies that were not
produced by humans, which will be the biggest discovery ever
made in science. So one way or another, it's a
win win situation. I don't feel that my time is
being wasted.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
I love it. Bobby low right there, astrophysicists, anything else there.

Speaker 25 (01:00:28):
But the key is it's like a detective story to
get better data.

Speaker 8 (01:00:32):
And to find an explanation.

Speaker 25 (01:00:34):
I should say that yesterday I worked with a postoc
of mine, the Vesona DA. We explained one of the
unresolved cases that the Pentagon was unable to resolve because
we were able to monitor the motion of an object
relative to the terrain in the background. We use it
sort of like a chess board that we can monitor
the object moving across and we figured out that.

Speaker 8 (01:00:56):
This is most likely a hypersonic missile.

Speaker 14 (01:01:00):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:01:00):
So it's a mixed bag.

Speaker 25 (01:01:02):
Many of these objects are human made, but maybe among
them there is something really spectacular.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
And I think there is, and we got to stop
thinking about it from coming from space and I think
coming from a different dimension.

Speaker 17 (01:01:15):
That's just me.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, But you've got a
lot of people that are looking into us, and a
lot of people are saying, look, even if the stuff
is human made, doesn't mean it was invented by humans.
One of the other things she brought up later, So
we will see. There will be more to come. I
can promise you that. Speaking of eerie things that are happening,

(01:01:40):
it's summer Ween.

Speaker 19 (01:01:42):
Something about that stills unnatural.

Speaker 28 (01:01:44):
Move over pool party. Halloween is here early. It's called
summer Ween. That's right. Sunbathing skeletons are popping up beside
sunscreen and pumpkins spice next to popsicles, TikTok enthusiasts getting
in on the action.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Are you upset?

Speaker 29 (01:02:00):
Halloween?

Speaker 14 (01:02:01):
Halloween is cool?

Speaker 28 (01:02:03):
So just why is Halloween crashing the poll party?

Speaker 30 (01:02:05):
It's a very new trend, you know. It caught fire
on social media in twenty twenty four to kind of
coincide with what retailers are doing, kind of putting their
Halloween gear out there and people on social media are
talking about and showing their purchases.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Yeah, we're seeing that also. We talked about it last week.
Was it Home Depot and Low's rolled out Christmas stuff?
Just two items that were sold out within days. People
are getting into the spirit. I'm already in the spirit.
I got my Halloween stuff already showing to come out
right now, because that's who I am. Kids, You guys
know me.

Speaker 13 (01:02:42):
You know me.

Speaker 28 (01:02:42):
Stores like Michael's and Spirit already getting in on the act.
Spirit hiring fifty two thousand seasonal associates ahead of the
costume season. Home Depot launching its twenty twenty six Halloween
collection online July sixteenth. No the streets, including this new
upgraded giant skeleton that allows owners to customize movements and

(01:03:05):
speak through Skelly in real time. Even Hershey saying it's
reshaping the candy industry early for Halloween.

Speaker 31 (01:03:14):
There are the classics like the Reese's Pumpkin that continue
to get a great momentum. But to that, we've added
a new KitKat shape so you'll see accounts and a
witch coming in for KitKat.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Now, I'm not saying on Friday, I got Reese's pumpkins,
but I got them, Okay, I said it. I turned
and I looked, and I said, oh, I have to
have those. You know my love of those. When do
we get the Christmas trees?

Speaker 28 (01:03:44):
Hershey also bringing in some salty favorites into smaller snack
sizes for the holiday. They say their survey found that
sixty seven percent of families already have bought their folloween treats.

Speaker 31 (01:03:54):
We think a lot of that is perhaps for their
own personal consumption.

Speaker 28 (01:03:58):
Experts say summertime is a trend that could mean big money.
Halloween sales brought in about thirteen point one billion dollars
last year. But we'll buying early, save you any cash.

Speaker 30 (01:04:09):
You can't really expect to save a lot of what
you can expect is to maybe find something fresh and
fun to add to your decorpes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Oh, yes, that's all we're doing. I love the wien
You guys know that love scary movies.

Speaker 5 (01:04:25):
It's my jam.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
And yes, the scary movie countdown, and yes the Christmas
movie countdown to Christmas songs, all of those things coming
back as we do each and every single year because
we like the scare. Speaking of scare, we move from
there to one more. This may be the scariest thing
of all, Mom, they would mean to be at work,

(01:04:48):
call them.

Speaker 29 (01:04:49):
Stephen Clark says he hired a twenty two year old
to work, but after finishing a few days of safety training,
he was a no show, so Clark fired him.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Then his phone rang.

Speaker 32 (01:05:00):
Within two hours, his mother called me and proceeded to
try to convince me to rehire him.

Speaker 29 (01:05:06):
Despite Clark declining, Mom continued to email him for the
next six weeks, over a dozen times. It's a problem,
he says, he's seeing more frequently.

Speaker 32 (01:05:16):
Why didn't my son or daughter get a job offer?
They're much more involved with their offspring's employment searches than
they probably should be.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Oh yeah, we've talked about moms and dads bringing their
kids to the interview and going in and sitting next
to them before they're called in for the interview. Now,
if you're fifteen or sixteen, obviously, mom or dad is
probably going to take you to your first interview. Right
sit in the car by the way, Mom and dad.

(01:05:46):
If you have an issue where you can't drive again,
sit in the car, Mom and dad, maybe it's good
to sit in the car. Continue.

Speaker 29 (01:05:57):
Lynn Alba runs hiring for Long Island Health System and
says calls from parents are coming in several times a week.

Speaker 12 (01:06:04):
When I get the phone call, it's can I speak
to the candidate?

Speaker 17 (01:06:08):
Most of the time the candidate is not there.

Speaker 29 (01:06:10):
A mom of four, Alba says that while it's okay
to coach your kids through their job hunt, there are limits.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
You can help coach from the sideline, but you can't
step on the field.

Speaker 26 (01:06:19):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Oh my god, I couldn't even imagine. I couldn't even
imagine that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Could you imagine if your mom or dad like I'd
be mortified. And I've got a good story about that.

Speaker 28 (01:06:33):
The anxiety for parents is understandable.

Speaker 29 (01:06:35):
Unemployment for recent college graduates hit five point seven percent
this year, higher than the national average, with more than
four and ten now working jobs that don't require a degree.
Rick queenshol and, a Data four, says his youngest daughter
was working at the front desk of a hotel and
I'm sure of what she wanted to do next, So
he decided to intervene by publishing a post on LinkedIn

(01:06:58):
asking his professional network to help her.

Speaker 22 (01:07:01):
When I did the LinkedIn post, it was really in
an effort to give her a chance to talk to
people that I know who are willing to step up
and have that kind of career conversation with her.

Speaker 28 (01:07:13):
But he cautiously suggests there are limits to what he's
willing to do.

Speaker 22 (01:07:17):
The thought of sitting in on a job interview or
you know, calling in sick for her, and he say no, no, no.

Speaker 8 (01:07:27):
No, no no.

Speaker 19 (01:07:28):
How do you like it?

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
How do you like it?

Speaker 24 (01:07:30):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
No, no.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
So here's a fun story for you guys out there.
So my uncle, you guys know, you hear him her.
He does a lot of stuff with us on when
it comes to AI and stuff of that nature. He's
our computer tech nerd. So when he was working at
Blizzard and they had just finished World of Warcraft, it

(01:07:54):
was a massive party going on there. So World of
Warcraft was done. It might have been Diablo, one of
those two, and I remember all hanging out, we're having
a good time. And this is again, this is not
in a Blizzard's massive now so they've got a campus.
This was not This was like one half of a
floor in Irvine, California. It was not you know, they
hadn't become the giant in the entertainment gaming world that

(01:08:17):
they are now. Two in the morning, I'm downstairs with
our buddy Sarren, and I I look and I said,
oh my god, and I go. I go upstairs and
I said, Paul, Grandma and Grandpa are here, said we
need to get rid of him. He was mortified because

(01:08:39):
he hadn't come home and he's in his twenties, and
grandma and Grandpa were worried that something had happened to him.
So they drove out to their work in their pajamas
with the dog. It was hilarious. He's like, if you
guys don't leave and they see you here, I'm gonna
have to quit my job. It was so spectacular. Oh

(01:09:00):
lordy three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex your Insta?
I love hearing from all of you guys in Cogny.
You ever wonder how the scammers and spam callers keep
finding you simple data brokers. They sell all your information,
spam calls, spam tax I used to get them, I

(01:09:21):
don't anymore. And guess what, the more you ignore them,
the more likely they're going to continue to come. Data
brokers collect all your information, sell to anybody your phone number,
email address, family information, so much more. You want to
protect your data. Smart thing to do is to work
within cognate like I have. They've gotten me hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of data brokers to remove my information.

(01:09:44):
Thank goodness for that. They can do the same for you.
Let them in Cogny help take your personal information off
the market and put it back in your hands, which
is where it should be. Are you ready for that?
Are you ready to get your personal information out of
the hands of data brokers? Sixty percent off in cogni

If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
This is a perfect urban word for what is going
on in Iran, because Trump apparently is actually said this,
which I find to be fascinating.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day. No, it has nothing to do with
his wig, although it is wiggolicious. It's not a wig.
It's not a wig, but it's not not extra hair
that wasn't there before. That's all I'm saying. Geez, Chad,

(01:11:10):
all right, your urban word today is low key. Low Key.
Trump and America are low key, meaning keeping something secret, quiet, subtle,
or moderate involved in the discussions of what to do

(01:11:30):
with the straits of Hormuz. Right, so they're low key
in the middle of the negotiations with the likes of
Iran Oman and the powers that be. Low Key is
your urban word of the day. That was the urban
word of the day, now you know, low key indeed,

(01:11:54):
not low key like from the Avengers. Not that low
key low k e y okay, three, two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four or twenty three yeh. Chadminton Show
is your ex your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook, and
all of the other good things. We love hearing from

(01:12:14):
each and every one of you right here on the
Chad Benson Show. Coming up our number three of the program.
A lot of stuff still to get to WNBA. People
aren't talking about what's going on in the courts, unless,
of course it's white privilege. Could there be a man
drafted in the WNBA? I mean, we're going to discuss

(01:12:37):
this because it's kind of low key hilarious. Top of that,
the latest on what's going on with Iran? More flock issues.
Oh yeah, this one another issue that is happening the
wrong person and this one almost ended in an absolute disaster.
We'll talk a bit about that. The economy, little What's
trending jib Kennedy Kennedy instead of Vogue policy research for

(01:12:59):
little midterm Monday hour number three as straight ahead, This
is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 32 (01:13:35):
Could the truth be coming out of a pushing out
a jail California treatment?

Speaker 8 (01:13:39):
As soon as I stepped on a theme.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
A moving whorem Tupac Shakur playing with the murder trial
of Tupac going on, could it actually be solved thirty
years later? Remember how this took a weird twist, right,
so those you got don't know Tupac Shakur, No, not

(01:14:03):
the greatest Jewish cowboy of all time, rapper, poets, an actor,
and he was killed, shot dead. For years, people, what happened?
Thirty years? Thirty years And what do we always say
on this show, People inherently can't keep their mouth shut,

(01:14:25):
and that's what looked like. What has happened. But it's
been thirty years in the making.

Speaker 13 (01:14:30):
This trial has been thirty years now in the making.
And for all that time, the murder of Tupac Shakur
was one of the biggest unsolved cases of our time.
The years turned to decades, the mystery really echoed across
generations of this rap icon. Who was taken out on
near the Vegas Strip in a fatle drive by shooting,
and to many on the outside at least, it seemed

(01:14:52):
like a pretty cold case, in a case that was
going to stay cold.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Yeah it was. But as we say, people can't keep
their mouth shut, and that's what happened thirty years later.
I guess he thought he got away with it. Who
was he?

Speaker 13 (01:15:09):
Dwayne Davis, he goes by kify d was charged with
Shakur's murderer. He's a self confessed longtime leader of the
south Side Crypts gang in Compton, who has since retired
to the Vegas suburbs. Prosecutors say Davis was the shot
caller and orchestrat at Chakorus drive by fatal.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
Shooting near the Vegas Strip in nineteen ninety.

Speaker 13 (01:15:30):
Six, in what they describe as this escalating gang rivalry
that came to a deadly hit that night in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
No, it's not Kiki d so don't ask that. And secondly,
are you guys going Did they say he retired. I
didn't know you could retire from this. Yes, he did.
So the jury selection begins. So he's sixty three. He's
charged with the murder. So remember the September seventh, nineteen
ninety six to two, Bac and members of his entourage

(01:16:00):
assaulted Orlando Anderson at the MGM, Anderson with Davis's nephew.
Prosecutors allege that Davis obtained the gun, gave it to
someone in the back of a white Cadillac. The Kadiak
later pulled up next to a BMW carrying sug and Tupac.

(01:16:22):
Tubac was struck four times died six days later. Davis
is not accused of personally pulling the trigger. But under
the accomplice law in Vegas or Nevada, prosecutors can pursue
murder if they prove he knowingly participated in organizing the killing.
Now people are saying, well, why did it take so long? Right,

(01:16:44):
because the police have always thought that Davis was the guy,
or at least was a part of it for years.

Speaker 13 (01:16:53):
Davis actually boasted about his involvement in the shooting in
multiple interviews with police, then on the page of a memoir,
and in public media interviews after that, and in fact,
investigators have even credited Davis's own words as helping to
reinvigorate their investigation. They then took his confessions and said

(01:17:14):
about the work of shoring up their case with other evidence,
and finally brought charges in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
So wait what, Yeah, he did docuseries, then he wrote
a book, and in the book he talked about it.
Because what people can't keep their mouth shut. Now the
defense has said, hey, look, sky's yappen?

Speaker 5 (01:17:38):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
He exaggerated fabricated stories. Why because he wanted to make money,
wanted notoriety. He made it very much an entertainment thing,
like I'm the man. Physical evidence is limited and the
other three guys that were quote unquote in the white
Cadillac are no longer with us. It's not that they
can't find him. They know exactly where they are dead.

(01:18:01):
So here's some weird drama. He's the only person being charged.
He has presumed innocent. Obviously, Diddy Combs has been mentioned
in years and years of speculation. We know where he's at.
Sug Knight has said he does not intend to testify,
although he could still become an issue during the trial,
which they expect to last anywhere between four and six weeks.

(01:18:26):
We'll find out, but it has been a mystery, and
could the mystery be put to bed. We're gonna find
some stuff out that I do know, kids that I
do know, speaking of things that we should know about.
If you guys aware of this, there is still an
issue in Iran and the Straits of Horror moves and
this weekend Iron came out and said, all right, all right,

(01:18:48):
all right, we'll open it up, but but you got
to pay attention. We're only gonna open it up if
you guys meet our list of demands.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
It is a long list.

Speaker 17 (01:19:04):
There.

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
They're saying that not only does the US have to
let up on its blockade. Not only does the US
have to pay reparations for damages caused by.

Speaker 14 (01:19:14):
The war effort, it also has to.

Speaker 4 (01:19:16):
Agree to stop saying anything negative about the Iranian regime
that it's got to take all the forces out of
the Middle East writ large.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
Oh so let's go with this again. Okay, these are
the things they want compensation. Hey, we want you to
pay us for all the stuff that you broke. You
got to end attacks against us and stop being mean

(01:19:52):
to us, stop saying bad tigs about us. Here I go.
You also have to protect us from the regional allies
that you have that they don't attack us anymore. We
want sanctioned relief, and you must release all of the
assets that are frozen. Once that happens, then okay, we'll

(01:20:18):
open everything up once that happens. They own the Straits
at this point in time. That's it. They own it.
It's theirs. Not a lot you can be able to
do about it, unless you're willing to put ships in
arms way, unless you're willing to put yourself in a

(01:20:38):
position where you're gonna put men and women in harms way.
And we're going to spend potentially the lives of innocent
people in and around the area, as well as people
potentially on boats in and around the area. I mean,
if that's that's what we're willing to do, and Trump,
I don't think it's willing to do it. He's trying

(01:20:59):
to figure out how do we get out of this?
Who would have thought this was going to happen? Everybody
is the is the answer to that? Everybody?

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Oh man, after decades of sanctions, iron is pretty good
atwithstanding economic turmoil, economic pain. So it really is a
bit of a game of chicken that who is going
to balk first?

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
And that's an issue the balking first, because they have suffered.
They've been through this on numerous occasions. This is nothing
new to them, being in a situation where they deal
with hyperinflation some days, lower inflation others, having to figure

(01:21:47):
out how to get goods in and out of the country.
I mean, these are things that they are used to. We,
on the other hand, nah so much. And people are frustrated.
I mean, I know some of you will send me,
you know, hilarious texts about you know, what an idiot
I am, and how close they were getting a nuclear

(01:22:07):
weapon and you know whatever. I can sit here and
show you and talk to you and tell you that
that's not true. But you are you know, you're this
is what they were going to do. Well, does this
make it more or less likely that they're going to
try to do that? And they've got a nuclear weapon?
Now it's the straits of horror moves. I want to
remind everybody how much moves through there. Last week there

(01:22:32):
was a few articles out about it, many people didn't
pay attention. Before we get to the amount of oil
and stuff that moves through, know that the Chinese, as
we have talked about, did not purchase the amount of
oil that they normally would over the last several months

(01:22:54):
as kind of a you know what, we'll pull back
a little bit, will help some of our neighbors and
anybody he else who needs it, will draw on our
strategic reserves, and we're not going to get involved outside
of that now there. Of course, we're helping them with
certain things, and we know that. But they did that,

(01:23:14):
and now there's a fear in Taiwan because they helped
us out and we did all this stuff, and we're
occupied here that at any given day they're about ready
to storm into Taiwan, although I think they're I think
they're looking at this in a different way now though,
because I think they are seeing what a motivated group

(01:23:37):
of not just IRGC, but a nation pushing back against
a power can be. I think that's giving some you know,
some hesitation to them. But China's played a huge.

Speaker 23 (01:23:50):
Role in this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
And oil estate semi, you know, it hasn't gone to
one twenty. Not saying it can't, but you guys see
where we're going with this, and at this moment in
time oils up a little bit. But if they start
buying twenty million barrels move through there, and then you
couple that with the fact that there were certain refineries
hit in Russia, that's also going to now become an issue.

(01:24:16):
And what does that mean? It's going to be more expensive,
and that's what we care about. We care about the
expense period. The more expensive it is for us, the
more frustrated we're going to get. And because we have
midterms coming up, who's going to pay the price for it? Well,
it's going to be the Republicans. When we talk to
our buddy Jim Kennedy coming up a little bit about

(01:24:38):
that as it you know, as we delve into mid
term Monday, there's no doubt this isn't going anywhere anytime soon,
and we're now stuck in this start stop bizarreness as
we head towards Labor Day, where we expect oil and
the price of gas to go up as it normally
does as people get out on the road. Kind of

(01:24:58):

Speaking to WNBA Inis Cantor, former NBA player, I don't

(01:29:34):
know if he still p I only he plays in
the NBA anymore. He's declared for the WNBA draft.

Speaker 18 (01:29:39):
My Tim and I have carefully examined the eligibility criteria
and governing framework surrounding self identification and inclusion. Based on
the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my
eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May twenty twenty seven.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of,
or to suspect any community or personally t voices. I

(01:30:00):
am simply asking that the current rules be applied equally
to everyone. The rules that represent the very values many
WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My Tim
and I are prepared to insure these guidelines are applied
equally consistently and we don't exception and I look forward
to the WNBA honoring its stated principles.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
Yeah. On top of that, Royce White says, he is
also declaring for the draft. So now men are declaring
for the WNBA draft. Yeah, they got a problem over
there that they need to sort out. I think we
know that. And you are there to mock everybody. Nis,

twenty three at Chad Benton Shows, Your Acts, your instaf
it is Mondays. You know what that means. It's Midterm
Mondays or Buddy Jim Kennedy and Kennedy Institute of Public
Policy Research. He joins the program straight Ahead, Chad.

Speaker 15 (01:30:58):
Benson Show, then Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 16 (01:31:26):
Now it's time for Midterm Mondays, where we break down
the biggest races from the midterms. Who will control the House,
who will control the Senate? We discussed with Jim Kennedy
Midterm Monday.

Speaker 8 (01:31:39):
It is our time of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
I'll talk goodbody, Jim Kennedy and the Kennedy Institute of
Public Policy Research little midterm Monday. All right, Jim, let's
start with the douchebags of the week, because one of
them is stepping away and the other one saying I'm
not going anywhere until you guys fire me, and I
think they're going to fire him. Let's start with mister Miller.

Speaker 17 (01:31:58):
Max Miller, Ohio seven. The deadline was yesterday Sunday for
him to withdraw from the race, so he cannot withdraw,
so the GOP cannot and the UP cannot force him
off the ballot. He can still withdraw and basically he
would not be replaced, so the Democrat would win by default.
The GOP can take legal action against it, but I
don't know where in Ohio law they would have the

(01:32:20):
leg to stand on. So he kind of seems like
he's pretty much figured out that he is gonna basically,
he's going down for this, for being a douchebag and
unfortunately treating women horribly, and he's gonna take everybody, including
the Republican Party with him. It kind of sounds like,
I don't know, maybe it was in a district where
he thinks he can still win. Nobody else really does.
I remember he won this seat by fifteen points in

(01:32:41):
twenty four So right now it's a lean r race.
It is one of the competitive races. We have a
Midterm Monday www dot Midterm Monday dot com to track
all of the competitive races. I'm gonna guess that might
be updated to toss up or lean Dee coming in
the next couple of weeks. But the production markets have
it at seventy nine to twenty one for Ryan Poindexter, Democrat,
who just might be the luckiest Democrat in the country

(01:33:04):
because he was in a race he was not going
to win a month ago, and now it looks like
he just might be able to cruise to victory. He
might even have no one to run against.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy institud of Polypolicy Research, Midterm Monday, Jim,
mister Edwards is also not the guy from the Amazing
Little House in the Prairie. But mister Edwards is going
to be also leaving, but he's not jumping away just yet.
But also another issue, ethics problems. There's just way too

(01:33:32):
many of these on both sides. Who the hell are
running for these things?

Speaker 17 (01:33:36):
But Chuck Edwards has stated that he's going to step
down from reelection, though he's staying in the seat after
escathing ethic report came out on Monday from the House
of Representatives. Basically, the House recommended his censure. And he's
kind of the opposite of Maxi Miller. He's been treating
women in his office very very nicely, unfortunately to the
point of being creepy nicey nicely by giving them too

(01:33:56):
many gifts and saying inappropriate things about how nicely are
and et cetera, et cetera. So he's gonna so he's
so he's got the ethics violation against that they recommend
his center. You know, this is a seat that he
won by fourteen points, but now the Republicans still have
time to fill that, to fill that ballot spot, so
they won't lose it from that. But right now it

(01:34:17):
is the prediction markets have it fifty five D forty
five R with Jamie Auger is the person who's the
Democrat who won that primary back in I believe was
may or April so, yeah, So we've got two guys
here that are basically should not be representing people but
seem to be curly, and they're going to step And again,

(01:34:38):
what is Johnson gonna do? Is he going to toss
both both these guys out and get himself down to
basically a one or two seed at most majority? Or
is he going to basically just unfortunately bite the bullet
and if I want to get any legislation pass, I'm
gonna have to I'm gonna have to basically just accept
that they're going to stay there through the end of
their term.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Plug Policy Research.
So much stuff to get to tonight. Man, what do
we have any I think exciting this week we need
to pay attention to.

Speaker 17 (01:35:02):
Yeah, we've got a couple of races. We've got we
got one of your favorite candidates, Mike Lindell a running.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Hey, Jim, Honestly, I feel like he thinks he's got
a chance. He stepped away from the MyPillow stuff. Does
he have a chance.

Speaker 17 (01:35:15):
He's leading in the lightest poll thirty four percent to
twenty eight for Lisa D. Muth Whoulieve Business Series candidate
and Ken Qualls, who's an eighteen percent. Now, the prediction
markets are sixty to forty for Dumuth winning over Lindell
on that point. But still, you know, this is still
a fairly blue state, So whoever wins is probably going
to be fodder because they're going up against current Senator

(01:35:36):
Amy Klobachar, who is basically running unopposed for her nomination,
so and she's probably a fairly solid favorite to basically
keep that seat. I think that's a solid D or
at least a lean D governorship because of you know,
we again remember this is the home of mister Walls,
who ran for vice president, who's all sorts of une

(01:35:57):
wacky things as governor and still stayed there for two terms.
But yeah, I don't know where we're getting why Lindell
is still pulling this will. I know he got in
trouble because you're doing something about trying to give away
pillows for votes, and the local court said no, you
can't do that, and he's still up thirty four to
twenty eight. So I don't know what people are thinking.
I mean, this is how you get people like we

(01:36:17):
talked about a little bit earlier with the people that
don't really qualify or really shouldn't be representing people winning.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (01:36:23):
Is the American electric come down to be so unattached
that simply if you see a name that you recognize,
you just vote for it because oh, okay, I know
who that person is. Yeah, I know bad things about him,
but I know that name, so that's a known quality.
I'll vote for that person. I don't know. I would
think we would do better in America, but I'm comptantly
disappointed by the electorate not doing the right thing in many,

(01:36:44):
many circumstances.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
You and me both, brother, You and me both. What
else do we have going on to suay siding?

Speaker 17 (01:36:50):
Let's see, in Minnesota, we've got the Senate race. Michelle
Tafoya is running. Two Democrats that are running, Peggy Fanning
in lieutenant governor and Angie Craig. That's a toss up.
The the prediction markets have Flannagan. And then the one
to really watch because she's been popular on Twitter and
for some really interesting interviews is Democratic candidate for governor

(01:37:11):
Francesca Hong in Wisconsin. She's at ninety six percent. She's
probably gonna win that because their best chance Mendela Barnes
dropped out a couple of weeks ago. She's another DSA type.
She has come out stating that she doesn't like Thanksgiving
and then walked it back and said she does. She
also said that she had to leave a Culver's restaurant
one time because there are too many white people looking

(01:37:32):
at her and some other wacky things. So yeah, it's
it's fairly interesting. That's another one where I mean we
talk about the Republicans with bad candidates. She's probably gonna
win and it makes it a pretty solid chance for
the Republicans to pick up that governor seat. Now, the
Republicans have been there before. I've had that governor's seat recently,
but currently currently, you know, two months ago that was

(01:37:55):
going to be a pretty much a lean Democrat seat
and that is now looking like pretty much it's going
to be probably a fairly easy Republican win if they
can manage to not screw it up there if she wins.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
On Tuesday, Jim Kennedy, Kennedy instud of Public Policy Research,
joining the program. Last week, we had some stuff, nothing
too exciting, you know, I mean, you know, we had
what Hawaii and the ones we had over the weekend,
blew this our state out here in Tennessee read with
no real massive Well, let me phrase that. There was

(01:38:28):
only one massive upset and that was Andy Ogles, who
is and I have referred to him as a douche canoe,
and I will stand by those words on numerous occasions.
But he he didn't win. A lot of people thought
he was because Trump got behind him, and he's the
Trump said the other night eight and one outside of
this guy.

Speaker 17 (01:38:47):
Yeah, he broke He ruined Trump's perfect record, which means
he'll probably come under quite a bit of scrutiny from
Trump now because you know how Trump, you know, likes
to be perfect when it comes to those things. How
dare you do anything that that would be schmirch his record?
But yeah, he lost to former Tennessee Agricultural Commissioner Charlie Hatcher.
So it'll be interesting. It's still you know that race

(01:39:08):
better than I do. You say, it's still you think
it may be somewhat more of a competitive race than
you would think of it as far as in solid
red Tennessee. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
Yeah, Chas Molder is the guy that he's going to
be taken on. He's the mayor of Columbia. He's a
sharp guy.

Speaker 13 (01:39:23):
He is.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
He has kind of got that feel that Mundannie has
without the hardcore h left leanings. Because you know, it's
it's it's going to be a much more interesting because
Hatcher is not very he's not super outgoing. How's that
it's it's so it's going to be very interesting to
see how this thing plays itself out. It's going to
be much more competitive than I think people realize though.

(01:39:46):
For sure.

Speaker 17 (01:39:46):
Yeah, I don't think of Agriculture commissioner as a as
as a real fire starter type of guy, don't know,
the gentleman. But that just is not a post I
think of for for people that are you know, that
are real fire brands that are out there, you know,
preaching each and from the from the pulpit time. I
think it's kind of a quiet thing. You sit there
and you you know, you make sure you keep the
farmers happy, and you know that's about it. I don't

(01:40:08):
think of somebody using that as a stepping zone. But
you know, he's able to make it into a race
for Congress.

Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
So on.

Speaker 17 (01:40:15):
Also, we've had you know, you had the Senate or
you hat sorry, you had the governor's race with Marsha
Blackburn won the nomination. She's going to face Jerry Green.
That's a solid R seat, no real chance for Jerry Green,
and this one is there, you.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
Know what, I think Jerry's going to make some noise.
I don't know if it's a real chance for her
to win, but I think Jerry'll do okay. She is
a she's smart. She's not hardcore left. I mean, obviously
she's pro choice, but she's not that her thinks all
about affordability. She she's really into the veterans. She doesn't
want to raise taxes. She wants to spend money better.

(01:40:48):
If you if you didn't see a D by your name,
you would swear it was a libertarian or a liberal conservative,
if you will, more than it was somebody on the left.
But we only vote d R here because that's what
they do well.

Speaker 17 (01:41:00):
The thing, the thing, the reason I was asked by
that is is that I haven't sensed any sort of
enthusiasm for Marcia.

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
It's like the now zero enthusiasm on my local show man.
When I ask people to text in if you're voting
for Marcia, Nobody in months has texted in and said
I'm voting it for her. It's always if I have to,
I will, But I would say for every one of
those I get ten that says I'll vote as a
write in or I will vote for the Democrat.

Speaker 17 (01:41:28):
Yeah, that's the thing is I mean, you know, it's
she's you know, she's probably gonna win it. But again, yeah,
I just wasn't sensing any sort of any great groundswell
for her enthusiasm. It is just like you said, it's like, okay, yeah,
I know her name and I don't know these other
two guys. So I'm going to vote for her. And
it's you know, I vote for the Republican and she's
been in the Senate and you know, help Trump out,

(01:41:48):
so I'm going to vote for her. But you know
a lot of people are seeing, especially as we get
as we move on towards a general, there's a couple
of you know, there's been more than one race where
you're getting people like That's one of the things that
Democrats have been kind of chatting about in these two
races with with Miller and Edwards, where you know, they're
fairly red districts, but there's just not a lot of

(01:42:08):
enthusiasm for Republicans in general, regardless of how hardcore your
support for Trump is. Now Tennessee has read enough that's
probably not going to matter, I don't think. But it's
really going to matter. It comes down to a lot
of these battleground races and stuff from the Republicans holding
the majority, who were talking about that last week where
where one of the political analyst firms was saying that

(01:42:30):
there's you know, the Democrats have to win fifty six
of seventy seven races to basically flip the House over
to Democrat and there's still like about a seventy five
is seventy percent chance that's going to happen. But again,
you know, if you're running these races, we just don't
have a lot of enthusiasm for candidates. That's not going
to bode well. And that's not something for people like
marsh that has a track record that she's going to

(01:42:51):
be able to flip. Like I said, I don't think
she's in danger, but you would probably you know, it
wouldn't be surprising to find this race it's probably going
to come out closer than probably people would think it
would be.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I think it's I think it will
and if she can get Marcia to debate, I think
it would be very interesting. She didn't debate either of
the guys she ran against. She doesn't feel like she
has to debate. And if she could get her to
debate at least once or twice, I think Jerry would
give her a run for money, no doubt.

Speaker 17 (01:43:20):
Yeah. No, there's some other races where I've seen that too,
where where they're like in California, Javir Bsera won't won't
doesn't even want to debate Steve Hilton, and people would
think that would be fairly interesting if he had to
answer some question. There's there's been some others where people
are just hiding. I think down in Texas, I don't
think Paxson has been willing to debate tall Rico as

(01:43:40):
much as he's wanted to. It'll be interesting to see
if they do any sent if there's any Senate debates
in Michigan between l Said and Rogers, because that would
certainly be an interesting one. I'm not really sure how
it would go, whether that would be something because el
Said is pretty, is pretty well spoken. He's pretty I
don't know slicks the right word, but he's polished and
That's why he's the only guy I think get as

(01:44:01):
far as he did, because he is pretty polished. He
doesn't he doesn't do mess ups. He doesn't do like
what this Francesca hang in Wisconsin is doing with making ludicrous,
crazy statements. He's like La. He's more like Mundammi, not
because he's Muslim, but because they're very good speakers. They
present themselves well. They they they frame their arguments in

(01:44:22):
a way, and they're also very good if you watch
them about when something comes up that's a negative question
to them, they're very could aback. They're very quick about
deflecting and moving it back to their policies and how
they're trying to help people out. And they don't really
go down answering negative questions, which you know is good
for their campaign staffs, but it really maybe not good
for the voters because the voters don't get to hear

(01:44:43):
things that maybe they want answers to that those guys
are not going to want to talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:45:22):
Out, brother, talk to you Friday.

Speaker 17 (01:45:23):
Have a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:45:24):
Relief Factor is amazing. I take it every single day
and the reason is simple. As I get older, working
out a little bit more, trying to keep myself fit,
I worry about inflammation. Number one cause of issues when
it comes to aches and pains in your body is
inflammation and our joints and our muscles. And some of
that's just as we get older. And the other part
of that is, well, you know, not great at eating

(01:45:46):
