Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It is primary day in several places, including Gentucky, and
this is the one that a lot of people have
been looking at. And the reason is It's Trump's party, right,
what he says goes. But he's up against Thomas Massey,
pretty popular in his home state, fourth district, more of

(00:37):
a Conservatorian when it comes to his beliefs than a
straightforward Republican whatever that means anymore, because I don't know
if anybody knows what that means.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
But today he's going up against Ed Galleran, who.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Is a Trump backed and billionaire backed, APE backed candidate,
and Trump is calming hard for him. This is a
massive test can Massey do what others couldn't survive? And

(01:15):
I'm not talking about death. I'm talking about surviving Trump
coming for you.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I want to point this out, and I'll do this
over and over again. In some states, the primaries are
the only thing that matters.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You recognize that whoever wins this is going to win
the election. Okay, that right there is pretty evident. And
so who do you have? You have Thomas Massey, ed
gallery Ed gallerin former. I think he was a Navy
seal Trump absolutely, you know he's the guy. Trump doesn't

(01:52):
care who the guy is as long as it beats
the evil that is Massy.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
This is what Trump said about Massy.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
I'll be doing, hope a very powerful tele rally tonight
for a friend of mine, Ed gall Rain, who is
a fantastic man, a fantastic hero, war hero farmer from
Kentucky's running against the worst congressman in my opinion, worst
Republican congressman of this of our country. The guy's a

(02:20):
total disaster. And you know who it is, Thomas Massey.
He's the worst. So we have to get out and vote.
We have to make sure that Ed gets there. I
mean Ed left the Republican Party because he couldn't stand
MASSI couldn't stand watching him, couldn't stand how disloyal he
was to your president. He left the Republican Party, but
he came back, and he came back strong. He couldn't

(02:42):
stand Massie, and neither can I a bad guy. So
get out and vote. Thanks a lot by.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
The worst congressman of all time? Are you kidding me?
I have no ideas the worst congressman of all time.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
That is insane.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
By the way, Ed Gallerant left in twenty sixteen, right
after Trump was elected president. He left the party, and
I don't think it was because of Massey became an independent.
I'm not quite sure that was because of Thomas Massey.
But whatever here it is big deal today for Trump.

(03:22):
Trump needs this, wants this bad well. Thomas Massey votes
ninety percent of the time with the Republicans nine The
stuff that he doesn't vote for are things like spying
on Americans, adding more debt that we don't have. But

(03:43):
he hates the Jews. He doesn't hate the Jews. He's
not anti Semitic. A pack is spending god knows how
much money to beat him. He's principal. You may not
like some of the stuff, but he is a straight shooter.
And do I think he's going to win. I don't know.

(04:04):
Poles have it pretty much a dead heat. So Big
Data Pole May sixteenth through eighteenth, Massy up by two
tenths of one percent. Big Data Pole May fifteenth through
the seventeenth, Massy was up four tenths of one percent. Galleran,

(04:28):
according to the Greyhouse poll, is up seven percent. In
early April, Massy was up nine percent. So I'm assuming
based on the polls that I've seen, also based on

(04:49):
just you go look at the where the money's going to.
That's the other thing. Go look at Polymarket and Calshi.
I don't think Massy's going to win, which is a shame.
Which is a shame because showing once again it's Trump's party.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I've got no problem with that.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
If he had any kind of you know, actual beliefs
that he touted at one point in time, I'd have
no problem with that.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
But we're in the middle of a war. Was promised,
no new wars.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
The debt is rising every single day, is continuing to
add to the debt. Where spying on Americans right, the
fact that the inflation that you didn't beat on day one,
I mean, we can go on and on, and then
let's not even forget the fact that was it yesterday
they came up with a one point seven billion dollar

(05:42):
slush fund. Yeah, I've got some serious issues. We should
all have that, but Trump wants to get this done.
It's not just about Trump too, It's also about the
fact that the Democrats and the Republicans don't deserve another
chance running the Senate or the House. But the Republicans absolutely.
I'd look at this and say, well, why should you
guys get another shot? Him done anything.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:08):
And they're coming hard for him and they may beat him.
Tell you what, if I was a dick and I
was Thomas Massey, He'd run as an independent. I'd run
as an independent, I'd split the vote and if the
Democrat got in, well then there you go. And here's
something else to think about too. As an independent, Thomas
Massey would have a lot of support, I think from

(06:29):
Democrats out there in Kentucky. It will be interesting if
he does indeed go that route, if he loses tonight.
If I had to put money on it, though, I
feel like Ed's going to get across the finish line,
we'll see very interesting indeed. Meanwhile, yesterday horrific shooting at

(06:51):
a mosque in San Diego. Three dead in the mosque,
two shooters dead as well.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Still a very large police presence out here all over
this neighborhood this morning, including one patrol officer who we
just saw walking through the playground here at the Islamic Center.
As we're learning about a warning phone call made by
one of the suspects mothers concerned about what he might do.
And how this could have been even worse if not
for the actions of the security guard who died protecting

(07:20):
the people inside the Alambic Center.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
And the question is who are these kids? And I
say kids because one's seventeen, I think the other one's eighteen.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Sources tel ABC News that investigators are looking at those
two teenagers, Cane Clark and Caleb Vasquez, as the suspects
in the shooting. Police said after they got that warning
call from one of their mothers, they were searching all
over San Diego. They sent officers to a mall, even
to the.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
High school of one of the suspects. They were still
searching for.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
That vehicle when they got the call about shots fired
here at the Islamic Center.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Bullshooters seemed to have died from self inflicted gunshot wounds.
A couple of blocks away. Top of that, they found
the guns. They also found a can of gas with
SS lightning bolts. There has been reports, and again you're

(08:15):
going to see reports fly all over that there were
other writings that were Nazi related. That's why they're treating
this as a hate crime. Mom jumped on it yesterday though,
and called the police, and this is the San Diego
Police Department Chief Wall talking about the phone call that

(08:37):
he and the department received at.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
About nine point forty two this morning. We received a
call of a runaway juvenile. After speaking with the mom,
mom began to piece together bits and pieces of information
over an extended period of time. The information that she
was gathering and conveying to us began to elevate the
threat level that.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
We were perceiving.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
With this information, she believed her son was suicidal, and
she began to share information that several of her weapons
were missing, her vehicle was missing, in addition to her son.
While we were gathering this information and we were trying
to zero in on where these individuals were at, we

(09:21):
received the call at approximate eleven forty three that there
was an active shooter at the Islamic Center. Within four minutes,
officers arrived on scene and observed immediately three deceased what
appeared to be deceased victims out in front.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
So they never made it into the Islamic Center.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
The security guard believe a father of eight stopped them
from getting in there.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's when they fled. They then went down a.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Block or two shot at a person who was gardening
or mowing the lawn and then apparently took their own lives.
And now this question are going to be how did
they get a hold of the gun. The questions are
going to be, you know, yes there were parents, moms,
I guess did you know?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
You know all of this stuff was going on?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know how.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Disturb they were.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
If indeed the writings are real about them being Nazis.
I mean they've got ss paraphernalia on some of the
stuff they found, which is the don't know who that is,
that's the shoot stuff, which was Heinrich Himmler's organization that
essentially was the responsible party, if you will, on top
of everything else for the actual carrying out of the Holocaust.

(10:37):
A lot of questions to be asked. People are pissed,
and they're scared, understandably, and I think a lot of
questions are going to be coming at mom exactly what
did you know? When did you know it? Were you worried?
And I don't jump too quick to any of these things,
because you know, and I know it takes days to

(10:58):
get the truth.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Everybody wants to be first.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I want to be right in this three two, three, five, four,

Our buddy Mike Lyon's going to join the program. I'm
going to talk about, obviously, what's going on in Iron
Trump called off the attack yesterday. I'm going to ask
him why is it. I think it's because our golf partners, right,
the Saudi's, the Katari's UAE are kind of worried that

(11:34):
Trump is not taking this as serious as he should.
So we'll talk a little bit about that, the ebolavirus,

(12:58):
Should we be worried? Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Ebola Oho, So the Ebola virus may have ruined one
of my World Cup soccer games.

Speaker 8 (13:20):
What one doctor infected with ebola while treating patients back
in twenty fourteen, says he believes the current outbreak is
much bigger than what current numbers show.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
My biggest concern about this outbreak is that we learned
way too much, way too quickly for this to be anything.

Speaker 9 (13:34):
But really bad.

Speaker 8 (13:34):
The outbreak raising concerns. You're at home ahead of the
World Cup. The team from Congo plans to use Houston
as its home base during the tournament. The US government
is now refusing entry to non US citizens who have
recently traveled through countries dealing with ebola.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Wait a minute, how could it ruin your World Cup?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Because we're trying to figure out which game to go to,
and so this is the hilarity in clown show. That
is going to be my fun World Cup adventure. My
local producer, Belle Bell's kind of like ere anything crazy
that can happen to him is going to that'll be fun.

(14:11):
My buddy across the street, aDeSe, He's from Ethiopia. He
and I love soccer. It's just a great human being.
My son Jack and I we're gonna go to Atlanta
and see a couple of games. One of the games
we're gonna go see potentially it's the Democratic Republic of
the congo. And I told Belle yesterday there's a good
chance you're probably gonna get the ebola virus here now

(14:32):
in saying that it's hard to catch.

Speaker 10 (14:34):
This, Ebola is different from COVID, it's different from measles.
It's something that has spread specifically through direct contact, and
it's something that is highly contagious through direct contact.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Through direct contact, and it's gotta be how should we
say this. You're swapping fluids and things of that nature.
Don't go there, but you know, so taking drinks and
being in and around the person blood to somebody who's
really sick, things of that nature, that is how it
is spread.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Okay, that's how it's spread.

Speaker 10 (15:09):
This particular strain has a little bit of a lower
mortality rate than the other strain that we are more
familiar with, but it's still very, very dangerous and it's
still a very deadly virus.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Good good to hear that it's a lower mortality bad
that it's dangerous still. And yesterday went over the numbers,
and the numbers were interesting because twenty five percent of
people that catch this will die, but compared to some
of the other ones where it's ninety percent. This is
a much better range. So you're saying to yourself, Chad,

(15:44):
are you going to go to that game?

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yes, I am probably still going to go to that
game because that tickets are affordable.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Although my son wants to go see Spain.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Tickets are not as affordable for the Spain game because
they're one of the favorites and they have La MiG
Yaml the superstar player. What do you think should we go?
Three two, three, five, three eight twenty four twenty three
at Chat Benson Show? Is your ex, your insta everything else?
Ready to the Chat Benson Show. Yesterday there was somebody
very mad at me and I was trying to figure

(16:15):
out exactly why they were mad at me. Well, because
I'm on a station in an area where it is
very conservative, and you, sir, are not conservative for the station.
But I'm like, I'm not anything. Yeah, but we only
want to hear conservative stuff. Well, that's not why they
brought me in. The reason they brought me in is
because I talk about everything because I appeal to a

(16:39):
younger audience. Oh no, he said that, Yeah, that's it,
And that's what they said. There's an audience out there
where when you go and you look and you say self,
this is the audience we have. We'd like to get
a little bit younger. And for whatever reason, I make
the youngsters laugh. Good with that.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
But I'm not here to affirm your beliefs.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's not me. Other stations will do that. Other places
will do that. If you want to be affirmed, you
want to be told every day. Trump is the greatest
in the history of mankind and he's an A plus
plus and everything. And because you've voted for him, you
feel you're a part of it. Knock yourself out. That's
not who I am. If he does something good, I'll
say If he does something bad, I'll say it. Outside

(17:24):
of that, we're talking about everything three two, three, four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, Your Acture, Install all
the other good stuff coming up. We pivot.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
We talk about Iran.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
We talk about the military actions potentially that are going
to happen. We're going to discuss it with our military
analyst Mike lyon Straight Ahead, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Show, Son Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
That's out of the week.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
We talk you know, military. We got the best damn
military analysts in the business. Tried major from the army
and yes, Mike Lyon's the best dam military analysts in
the business. Mike First Trump yesterday says, we're pausing. We're
getting ready to do a major attack, but now we're
pausing it. And it seems like the reason we're pausing

(18:24):
it is because some of our allies and the Gulf
States are getting a little nervous about what's going on there,
because they feel like they're the ones who are going
to face the brunt of what may come if America
hits hard.

Speaker 9 (18:39):
Chiz, That's exactly right.

Speaker 12 (18:40):
And I think we've sent a bad message to the
Iranians by doing this, by us listening there, and I
think they're really afraid of retaliation. I think they're really
afraid that Donald Trump is just going to quit and
just walk away. There's you know, inside the military community
very clearly it's time to go, it's time to get
you know, continue this operation and finish this thing off.

Speaker 9 (19:02):
And there's this real concern.

Speaker 13 (19:04):
Now.

Speaker 12 (19:04):
You know, momentum is always on the side of you know,
the one that has the greater firepower, and so we
can get it pretty quickly. But I think there was
pretty much you know, disappointing yesterday from a military perspective.

Speaker 9 (19:14):
That I know things were lined up.

Speaker 12 (19:16):
I know things were ready to go, and he decided
to pull the plug and you know, blaming the leaders
of Qatar, Saudi Arabia at UAE, but I think they're
more afraid that he's going to quit and not follow
through and they'll be stuck, you know, holding the retaliation bag,
which the Ranians will definitely do.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know, that's the interesting thing about how long is
Trump feel like he's in this because I think he
is frustrated because I think he realized he's not going
to be able to bomb his way into the hearts
and minds of the average person in Iran and at
the same time destroy the military infrastructure to the tune

(19:56):
of what two hundred thousand IRGC members and who knows
what else is out there. So there's this frustrating part
because I have a feeling I feel like and it's
just me, he was sold a bill of goods by
the Israelis, in particular BB that this was going to
be no different than going into Venezuela.

Speaker 9 (20:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (20:12):
I mean for him to think that and would have
gotten that advice from our chairman would have been unrealistic
because that Venezuela operation still amazing to the day. But
you know, clearly thirty million people and no military fundamentally
there with Aron with ninety million people and an entrenched
IREGYC that we see now is really running that country.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
But you heard Bbe also say in sixty.

Speaker 12 (20:34):
Minutes that we've accomplished a great deal, but it's not over.
So they are absolutely ready to go back to war. Also,
they're concerned about the capabilities that they have, so you know,
he's already said to Trump, you know, degrade has not
been destroyed where Trump uses that word destroyed. So I
think I think Israel is still in much in this

(20:56):
fight and they really want to get you know, kind
of things moving again. And it works well when our
two militaries are synced up, but it doesn't look like
Trump wants to do it. I'm just you know, he's
running this thing like it's a TV show, you know, today,
you know, stay tuned for the next episode of what's
what's happening in Iran? And it I think the military.
It's starting to wear on the military a little bit
as I talk to people, because it's almost like an

(21:17):
unseerious approach to what's happening.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
You know, Mike, you talk about bb and and we've
talked about Israel before. It's weird because Trump and our
negotiators have to negotiate with Iran and.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Who do we trust over there. That's the other side
of this.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
And at the same time as we're negotiating, we kind
of have to go back and somewhat negotiate with Israel
on you know this, it's this weird kind of dynamic
of trying to find out what's the sweet spot when
it comes to what Iran will give up, what Israel
be happy with, what we can give Iran that'll make
them happy, and what Israel will be allowing Iran to do.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
It's it's that's a tough way to negotiate.

Speaker 9 (21:57):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 12 (21:58):
And as I you know, kind of lay these things
to me, there are clear red lines. Red lines meaning
no nuclear weapons, no nuclear capability. And you know Trump
float of the idea of maybe twenty years, I mean,
where did that come from?

Speaker 13 (22:10):
That?

Speaker 12 (22:11):
If he does a deal that looks anything like Obama's JCPOA,
he is toast. Not only is he toast, but so
is the whole political apparatus of the GOP and I
think that's that's a real challenge. Well, what's another red line? So,
for example, are we going to turn around and do reparations?
Give the Uranians billions of dollars for what all they'll
do is turn it around, put it into those proxy

(22:31):
forces that Israel has been fighting for the past fifty years.
So to me, we need unconditional surrender. We need to
get to, you know, what the end of this war
really looks like. And I don't know what we're negotiating.
They've set up now a strait of Hormutz.

Speaker 9 (22:49):
Authority. I guess the Uranians have right over yesterday.

Speaker 12 (22:53):
I mean, they actually believe they're going to charge a
toll now through that passageway.

Speaker 9 (22:57):
And again we're going to let that happen. There's just
no way can let that happen.

Speaker 12 (23:00):
So again, I'm not sure where this is going. I think,
you know, we're definitely you know, we haven't lost anything.

Speaker 9 (23:07):
I'm not going to go in that route.

Speaker 12 (23:09):
You know, they've had a lot of capability, but but
it sure doesn't look like victory yet. And then Trump
from the walk away is going to have to have
a visual sign of that.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
And you know, you talk about like what does the
end look like?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Because and and and for us, you know, the average
American and this isn't very popular right now because prices
are going up, and the average American who's trying to
survive day to day really wasn't worried about whether or
not Iron's going to bomb us. Now they're just trying
to make sure their kids get the school and they
have enough to you know, pay rent. But what at
what point does you know, what does victory look like

(23:39):
for Trump? Because you know, you unconditional surrender probably isn't
going to happen without lots of boots on the ground
or dropping so many bombs that we become a pariat
to the world because we've killed millions.

Speaker 12 (23:52):
Yeah, that's you know, that would be awful offso and
that you know that that I don't say this often,
but you know that's obviously bordering on a war crime.
I mean, this is not Dresden. We're not going to
do something like that. We'll go after infrastructure that will
eventually lead to a lot of that that that humanitarian hardship.
But again, some of their demands are just off the charts.

(24:13):
I mean, now they're speaking about keeping there and rich uranium,
but down blending it into something else, which is code
for they could just reblend it back up to you know, weapons,
great nuclear capability.

Speaker 9 (24:25):
So I don't know.

Speaker 12 (24:27):
I think that I still think carg Island remains a
key place that we could put troops on the ground,
and I think they're concerned about trying to do some
kind of economic collapse from the inside. Look, I hope
the CIA was saw it. Everybody's working on getting weapons
to you know, to people inside the country. You know,
we tried to we try to get the Curds involved.

(24:47):
That didn't work. You know, we gave them a bunch
of weapons and they kept them themselves. They weren't interested
in fighting. But again, there's no real sign of visual
victory that's on the map right now, and I think
that's a real concern for the president.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Talking to my clients are military analysts, we talk about
all things when it comes to currently our conflicts everywhere.
When you look at our partners, neighbors, you know, the
golf if you will, as far as you know, between Iran,
Israel and everything. But you look at Cutter, you look
at Saudi Arabia, you look at Oman, you look at
the UA. There's a lot of worry there and they're

(25:20):
getting frustrated. They're starting to turn to China charting to
think we don't need all of this dependence upon the US.
There is a frustration there, especially now because I feel
like they think they're not protecting us, And what if
Iran decides to blow up some of our other stuff
and make this a nightmare for us because America can
walk away and then we're stuck with this nightmare.

Speaker 9 (25:40):
Yeah, I think UA in particular is concerned.

Speaker 12 (25:42):
I think that's the number one target that Iran has
actually gone after, not more than US, targets, more than
any other country. I guess the other day there was
a drone strike on the perimeter of one of their
nuclear power plants. I mean, now you know that's a
conventional weapon hitting some kind of nuclear facility on its edge.
You now have radiological you know, radiological issues and all

(26:03):
all the things that you know kind of go with that.

Speaker 9 (26:05):
So I think there's a real concern there.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (26:07):
I go back to the summit, though I don't think
anything was really accomplished from that, especially when it comes
to Iran. You know, Trump made a couple of sayings
that that, you know, the Chinese should have said that
they don't have nuclear weapons and they want to see
it over.

Speaker 9 (26:19):
But that's kind of it.

Speaker 12 (26:20):
I mean, I think that was all nothing but performative,
and I think the Machi of alien tactics he applied
just you know, kind of came back and kind of
heard him, because I don't think anything really really came
from that.

Speaker 9 (26:31):
So we have to watch.

Speaker 12 (26:33):
There's so many dangerous things going on in the world,
just not only this in Iran, but we've talked about
the AI aspect of it, and the military aspect of it,
and the offense and the defensive capabilities of of of
artificial intelligence and what that means.

Speaker 9 (26:46):
And we haven't even had a conversation about that.

Speaker 12 (26:48):
So there's that train is moving down the station very quickly,
and we need to kind of get on board with
it very quickly.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
You know that it's as we sit here because you know,
ideal in Ai. You work in Ai.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
You know, my uncle and I have a company in Ai,
but it's for entertainment purposes and we you know. But
the reality is the race that's going on now between
America and China is twofold one trying to figure out
what the average person is going to be able to
utilize for AI and business. That's a tough thing. But
the real war is who's going to win in the
world of AI. Who's going to have the dominant you know,

(27:24):
military potential force when it comes to AI. That's the
thing that really is the big battle.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
And man, you and I have seen it.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
That documentary came out last year on Netflix about AI.
When you've got the best pilots we have after two
rounds against AI saying there's no way I can beat
this thing.

Speaker 12 (27:45):
Yeah, And you got to look at it both on
the offense and the defensive side. It's one thing if
you're so confident your AI on your defensive capability like
Israel was with Iron Dome for example, that's all AI.
There's no human saying yeah, pull the trigger and fire
at that rock coming at And that becomes destabilizing as
you get more confident in your ability to win a

(28:06):
first strike war. Well, that was the issue with mutually
short destruction back with nuclear weapons back in the seventies
and eighties. And that's how it's got to be treated
right now. And I bet out last week about that.
That has to be treated like a nuclear weapon. We
have to look at this through the eyes of the
Salt treaties that we took place with Russia. But the
problem is she made a very interesting point that I

(28:27):
think has been ignored, and that is he definitely looks
at the United States as a declining power and him
in China as the rising power. And maybe history does
show that, but you know, that might be five hundred
years from now, but it's not you know, today or tomorrow.
You know, again, we've talked about we're a quarter of
the way through the century and China is still nowhere
in sight, and it comes of being a world of

(28:47):
the world dominant power over the United States. But AI
in particular could allow them to catch up very quickly,
especially especially if they implement all on all domains, military
communication space, all these domains that are out there, sea land,
they can have a real quick way to get, you know,

(29:07):
to exert pressure on the rest of the world.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Talking to my clients are military, and let's me talking
about all things military.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
You know, I have to be asked.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I wasn't impressed with Trump's trip. I think there's a
lot of stuff. You know, he signals, hey, look, we
got all these things done. I don't think there was
a lot done, and China's got no reason to you know,
they can lip service all you want about Iran, but
they have no reason to help us whatsoever, because they're
kind of enjoying watching us have to dig out of
this nightmare. When this is over, a couple of days

(29:36):
goes by, and then yesterday here comes to Pooter to
hang out with.

Speaker 12 (29:38):
She yeah, you I know, yeah, you know. The Chinese
have got their own challenges. I think still the fact
that there was not a single general officer in the
Chinese military that's been involved with the conflict. If you're
going to project power, that could be that could still
be a problem. But but again that's that's kind of
what they're banking on there, you know, you know, telling

(30:00):
Trump to basically stay away from Taiwan was an interesting flex.
And the fact that Trump, you know, kind of read
right into it, didn't didn't was very again, try to
be very mochiavellian. You know, he wants to be feared
and not loved, brought all the CEOs, didn't bring general
officers with him. But then she got right to the
military aspect of it, about don't don't touch Taiwan and

(30:21):
it'll be, you know, a strategic historical mistake for the US.

Speaker 9 (30:26):
But we've gotten by that pretty quick.

Speaker 12 (30:28):
It's almost like that's been forgotten and we're already on
to the next episode of you Know What's New in
the United States Foreign Policy today?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Last question, talking to my clients and military analyst Ukraine.
Ukraine absolutely sent some messages. They had a couple of
messages sent to them last week. But there's no doubt
the drones have changed everything. And I go back to
whether people like Zelenski or not, he's absolutely right about this.
You know what doesn't bleed on the battlefield, robots and drones. Yeah,

(30:57):
and this is my buddy said yesterday. You think Pewter
felt better being over in China where he doesn't feel
like at any given time somebody's going to come through
that door and take him out because they're over what's
going on over there. Because I think they realize, all right,
we've kind of gone as far as we possibly can.
People coming home in body bags. This isn't making our
world any better.

Speaker 12 (31:18):
You know, you saw the fact, you know, Zelenski did
a solid for Trump and some level because you're seeing
capability because of the drone strikes. Now that Ukraine can
definitely reach into Russia, reach deep into Russia. That they could
have attacked Russia on that May Day parade there they
had a few weeks back. Now that that would have

(31:39):
been just incredible on a lot of levels. And you know,
I guess the ceasefire Trump kind of ordered to have
happened for a prisoner exchange that didn't happen. But Putin
is now it appears to be becoming somewhat exhausted. He's
got to find a strategy out himself. And you know,
that's the whole issue about this conflict is that in

(32:00):
both sides they've got to find that golden bridge, a
son who says, with regard to saving enough face to
make sure that all the hardliners and people will survive.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
I don't know, it's a shame what's happened.

Speaker 12 (32:10):
Obviously, we're going on three or four years now, and
it just the amount of people that the Russians have
lost in this. But I'll tell you what, from a
military perspective, boy, that battlefield has been an incredible laboratory
for what the future of warfare looks like. And it's
ugly and it's going to be automated, and it's going
to be like you said, no wipe and noses, no
wipe and heine's it's going to be twenty four to

(32:32):
seven and it's the kill zone. It's going to be
very short between identifying targets and when that target gets
taken out.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
He's the best at military analysts business. Tired major in
the art. Mike clients, brother, appreciate you coming on. We'll

Speaker 2 (34:25):
You founder, that's right. Here is the World Cup song,
the official one Shakira Shakira. Speaking of Shakira speak closer
to the World Cup. She's very popular amongst the World Cup.
Shakira got a little love yesterday, and how.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Does she do that?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Spain's got to pay her back the money that they
owe her. So for you not keeping score. Shakira very popular,
as I've said, Uh, she is a Colombian singer. But
at one time she was with Gerard Piquet, one of
the superstars of the Spanish national team. They've got a
couple kids together, and she was convicted of tax evasion.

(35:13):
Well now they have acquitted her of tax fraud. They
said she didn't live in Spain long enough during those years,
including twenty twenty one, and that they must pay her
back to the tune of seventy million dollars. Oh hey, oh,
the hips don't lie My friends three two, three, five, three, eight,

(35:35):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, at
your ex year, insta YouTube and everything else right here
on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up our number two
of the program, Big Primary Day, in particular, Thomas Massey.
Trump's like the worst of all time, except for no,
he's not. But this will be very interesting to see

(35:55):
how this plays out in the next twenty four plus hours.
What this looks like like top of that, we're going
to talk a little bit about obviously Iran, what is
next with Iran? Plus Luigi Mangioni had kind of a
day in court yesterday, probably didn't go the way he
wanted it to, So we'll talk a bit about that,

(36:16):
among other things, plus some World Cup talk and your
urban word of today. All that straight ahead, Hour number two,
Chad Benson Chat.

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

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Primary Day.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Tons of money coming in the big one obviously Thomas
Massey ed gallery and they're battling it out the most
expensive congressional primary in history. Okay, massive amounts of money
have floated, Huge amounts of money have floated. Why Normally

(37:16):
this would be an easy win for Thomas Massey. But
Thomas Massey is a meaning when it comes to Trump, apparently,
so he's got to go.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
I'll we doing hopefully a very powerful tele rally tonight
for a friend of mine, Ed gall Rain, who is
a fantastic man, a fantastic hero war hero farmer from
Kentucky's running against the worst congressman, in my opinion, worst
Republican congressman of this of our country. The guy's a

(37:45):
total disaster. And you know who it is. Thomas Massey's
the worst. So we have to get out and vote.
We have to make sure that Ed gets there. I
mean Ed left the Republican Party because he couldn't stand Massy,
couldn't stand watching him, couldn't stand disloyal he was to
your president. He left the Republican Party. But he came back,
and he came back strong. He couldn't stand Massy and

(38:08):
Ned and I a bad guy. So get out and vote.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Thanks a lot, by Okay, Well, whatever I consider all day,
I like Thomas Massey. It's because you ate Trump. No,
I don't hate Trump. I like Thomas Massey. Thomas Massey
to me, very principled. Okay, as far as I can see. Again,
we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. But

(38:33):
for the most part, I care about how you vote. Okay.
I don't care about who you love right right, your hypocrisy,
which by the way, knows no bounds coming from from
from Trump there. I care about how you vote. And
he votes what's best for his constituent and what's best
for America. That's how he votes. He's not the part

(39:00):
that is the Oh, he's always a no. Well, what
does he know about? And then they go through and
they tell you all the things he's a know about,
you mean, spying on the United States of America, and
it's citizens what he's a no on, that he's a
yes on, releasing the Epstein finals what he is And

(39:26):
we can go on and on. Ninety percent of the
time he votes in a way that is first and
foremost about the debt. And you'll hear this crap is
that he doesn't like to choose. Where do you get that?
Because because he doesn't want to spend money in other countries.

(39:46):
I don't have a problem with that at a time
when we're forty trillion dollars in debt and those are
the stuff that we know about. If we want to
get into unfunded liabilities, we're in a lot of trouble.
Oh wait, we're already in a lot of trouble. I
just think it's ridiculous. And Trump can't stand him. And
he's not the worst of all time, for God's sakes,

(40:07):
it's just the hype, the hyperbolic nature of he's never
been where it's the worst of all time. He's just
he's he's a party pooper. He doesn't let me have
all the things I want he should, which is are
you kidding me? And you know what, we as a
nation need somebody right to stand up and say, hey,

(40:32):
this ain't right. Hey I don't want to be in
a foreign war for Israel. That's why he doesn't like
the Jews, which is what you'll hear. It's just a
bunch of crap. Now, whoever wins today, and and I
will tell you this for all the money pouring in
my gut tells me that old Ed Gallerin gets through
and beats Massy, And then Massy's got a decision to make.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Do I run as an independent?

Speaker 2 (40:55):
And if I run as an independent, if we're going
to be this vindictive, you know, do I really have
a chance or am I just trying to split the
parties vote and the Democrat win. It's a possibility, but
he would have that to think about, and he's more
independent minded anyways.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
So tons of money spent.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
It's going to be very interesting to see how this
plays out the power of Trump. Remember, and we talked
about it last night. We talked about it before. We
talked about it with our good buddy Jim Kennedy. The
Kennedy is the public policy research on our midterm mondays
there is a difference when it comes to primary. So
winning a primary, Trump throws his power behind people that

(41:41):
usually are in districts that Trump won by a lot,
and somebody's upset him. So what happens, Trump throws his
force behind the other person and they win. It is
the general that Trump has had issues with because of

(42:02):
you know, candidate quality has not always been great see
herschel Walker. So this again very expensive, and Trump, I
think is gonna have a chance to probably flex tonight.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
I do think he is probably gonna get his wish.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
But that's a sad statement when you've got somebody who
votes with you ninety percent of the time, and the
stuff that he's voted quote unquote against you are things
that you've put in giant bills where they shouldn't be
in there. But that's what we do. And these principle
enough to say no no, no more debt, no more

(42:40):
foreign wars, no more money poured out into all kinds
of things that we don't need. So we'll see what
happens tonight. Meanwhile, Trump, you're not keeping score. He's got
himself a few dollars now because he's got himself a
lawsuit slush fund settlement, let's come to him. It's one

(43:03):
point seven seven six, so seventeen seventy six billion dollars and.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Uh, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
How can any of us sit here and think for
a moment this is cool, just out of curiosity? How
can any of us sit here and say, how did
we get to this point where this was okay? You sued, which,
by the way, what nobody's talking about is statute of

(43:35):
limitations would have been gone, but instead some bizarre seventeen
seventy six one billion, seven hundred and seventy six million dollars,
just to call it one point eight billion dollars slush
fun to be handed out by these board members that

(43:57):
Trump picks and they work for him at his behalf.
Do you think they're doing that for free? So do
you think that some of those January six folks are
going to get some money? It's possible tax payer money,
by the way, you me everybody taxpayer money. How about
the phone surveillance. Do you remember Lindsey Graham and everybody.
They were supposed to get four hundred thousand dollars because

(44:19):
they were spied upon by the FBI, which is fine.
By the way, they'll sign that into law, right, the
no warrant FIZA to spy on US Americans. But if
it happens to them, they want four hundred grand. Do
you think it's going to come out of this damn skippy?

Speaker 3 (44:33):
You know it is.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Where's the transparency, who's getting what? And why are we
doing this? Again?

Speaker 14 (44:39):
There will be a commission that oversees this fund, and
it's very clear the commission will be composed of five
people that the president can fire at any moment without cause.
And then they also don't have to disclose the decision
making process and the procedures behind the scenes. So it's
completely shrouded in secrecy.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah, that's nice. Completely shrouded in secrecy. How are you
not furious about this? How are you not pissed about this?
How are you not angry? We should all be angry
because trumpet No, sorry, this is nothing with Trump.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
If this was Biden, I'd be furious.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
If this was Biden, you people be losing your gd
mind right now.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
You would be losing your freaking mind.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
If Joe Biden or Bill Clinton or Obama set up
a special trust fund that was going to be overseen
by several people at the behest of that person, and
that that money would be doled out. You would lose

(45:50):
your freaking mind. And we all should be pissed at this.
We should be it should be absolutely infurious at this situation.
And most of the people, I'll say this, most of
the people in my position in the radio world are too.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Chicken to say anything. Yep.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Absolutely too scared. Don't want to say anything could upset him.
It's okay that he's making billions him and his family.
You should The fact that nobody on the right is
coming out and actually publicly saying something just shows you

(46:42):
how whipped they are. It's embarrassing, it really is. It's embarrassing. Meanwhile,
as we talked about and have been talking about, yesterday,
Trump decided, nah, I'm not going to go into a
on today.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
We're gonna put the tack off for a day or so.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
I've put it off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever,
but possibly for a little while because we've had very
big discussions with Iran.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Have you or I don't see Iron giving up anything
that you're asking for at this moment in time, and
we talked to our buddy Mike Clions and what did
he say. He's our military analysts. He says, Yeah. People
in the region are are worried that Trump's gonna say, Ah,
I'm kind of bored with this. This isn't going the

(47:35):
way I want we want to. Hey, we're just gonna
bow out you guys can deal with it, which would
be awful. Cutter said today, more negotiations need to happen.

Speaker 15 (49:38):
Chad Benson, Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Meanwhile, as the mangione turns, yesterday big news coming down
to the Angioni attack. Remember Mangioni allegedly got to say
that walked up, stalked Brian Thompson, then CEO of United Healthcare,
shot and killed him, then was eventually arrested. And yesterday

(50:16):
at the hearing of what will or won't be allowed
in to the trial, the judge has spoken, I find.

Speaker 16 (50:24):
That the search of the backpack at the McDonald's was
improper warningless search, that the backpack was not within the
immediate control or gravable area of the defendity, and further
that people failed to demonstrate exigenen the circumstances. Therefore, those
items found in the backpack during the search at the

(50:46):
McDonald's will be suppressed.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Ooh, so that's very interesting. Now. Notice he said at
the McDonald's a couple things there when they're speaking to him,
he can't get to the backpack, so it's not like
they were in any danger, felt that they could have
gotten a warrant, and so he's saying no at the McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
But after McDonald's, the judge is saying an inventory search
when law enforcement brings you to the station house or
to the precinct and they're looking through your back to
do an inventory, and they're taking photos that was done
properly that doesn't require a warrant because it's one of
those exceptions as well. We want to kind of make
sure when people get arrested they don't have bombs or
guns inside of their belongings when they are getting processed,

(51:29):
So things like the gun or the notebook, or the
photographs of the notebook, those are all coming in because
those are a proper search procedure.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
And on top of that, the judge also said anything
that was prior to him being read his miranda rights
is inadmissible. So a little win for the defense a
much bigger win for the prosecution, which is I mean, look,

(51:58):
we can all be frustrated with healthcare and the system itself.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
I think we.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Understand that this turning him into an antihero and all
of the things that you're seeing. If you and we're
going to talk about the insanity of some of these
women that were out there, who of course are and
I say this because the vast majority of them who
are huge supporters are what supporters of him? Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your ex

(52:24):
insta all the other things right here on the Chad
Benson Show. They they find him to be attractive, and
of course they're uber progressive wackadoos who are celebrating the
death of a human being, all the while saying, Hey,
guess what, I am a good person and that's why
we must celebrate the death of this person.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
And this guy did it. We should celebrate him for
doing it.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (52:49):
And speaking of fandom outside the courtroom?

Speaker 13 (52:56):
Good way, Ryan, And I remember Americans celebrating when Tom
of his London was killed. It's not like we don't
understand for willing violence or like when violence so good,

(53:17):
that's like an American as American.

Speaker 17 (53:21):
Yeah, I mean, why do we protect the Second Amendments?

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Just my god, some special needs right there? The hell
are you? It's always the women. It's always the women
that are out there just screaming and yelling.

Speaker 11 (53:39):
I can't believe this. It's so handsome. And he's the
anti herro in need at this time. That's why we
had the Second Amendment.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
No, but still you're out there because you think he's cute.
Let's be honest. You think he's cute. So that's why
you're out there. He's the anti hero that you have
fallen in love with. And here's the other thing. He's safe.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
He's not going to break my heart. Let me know
what you think.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
Three, two, three, five, twenty four, twenty three coming up,
we talk a little bit of the world. Come Chad Benson, Joe,
then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
We're getting closer every single day, twenty three days in counting.
It's the world's biggest sporting event and it's coming to America.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
It's time to talk.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Would come about that La perrah?

Speaker 9 (55:06):
What of the rights sharia right across too?

Speaker 2 (55:12):
We haven't been able to control the player in midfield?
Why that Maradona has been able to do. They's had
to be able to gun Solam Montiel can win the
World Cup for Argentina with this kick. Yes, they're getting
closer and closer twenty three days till the World Cup.

(55:35):
Talked a little earlier about the whole Bola thing, which
is weird, I know, but the fact is Congo was
in it and with the ebola virus, they may not
be able to bring as many fans as they were
hoping to, so we may have to go to the game.
We've been talking about it, which is kind of funny

(55:56):
and weird, I know, but it's one of the games
we're looking at going to. We'll called the Eupola Bowl
chat in Atlanta too, which is rather.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Interesting because of the headquarters of the CDC.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
It's all happening, right, kids, But the good news is yesterday.
By the way, I'm starting to feel a bit of excitement.
Depends on where you are, obviously, with the war, with
all the stuff happening. Once you know, people say, are
you worried that this isn't going to be what it should?
I'm like, No, We rally around big things when they

(56:30):
get here, and the closer it gets the more once
the team start arriving, Once it gets, you know, to
the point where it's real and it's not just you know,
news or us talking about it, it's I'm not worried
about whether or not this is going to be big
or not. It is huge though for other countries. Last night,

(56:51):
what are the big decisions in this World Cup in
picking teams? Will there be some superstars that will make
it and Brazil was on the clock last night. Now,
their manager, Carlo Angelotti, is probably the greatest manager in

(57:14):
soccer football history. He is the manager of Brazil. He's
an Italian.

Speaker 11 (57:20):
He is.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Just ridiculously amazing and he had a big choice to
make last night. And the announcement of the Brazilian national
team roster is not something where they just put it
out there. It's an event, one of the biggest events
that you're gonna see. It is like going to a

(57:45):
game itself. And then it came to would he As
we talk about this now, think of Angelotti as kind
of Phil Jackson. Great at being the man manager. Right,
I've got all the great player so do all these
other teams. I have to deal with egos, and the

(58:05):
big ego that everybody is worried about is Neaymar.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Naymar Junior is thirty four years old.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Naymar Junior, without injuries, would have been probably a top
five or ten player of all time. But he's dealt
with injuries as well as being young and having lots
of money ego issues, but the injuries really slowed him down.
He's back playing in Brazil, not playing for Perry Saint
Germain or Barcelona or any of the big teams in Europe,

(58:37):
and the question was would he be on the team.

Speaker 9 (58:42):
Marteros, Manchester United names.

Speaker 16 (58:51):
Junior.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
I mean, it's insane. This is them announcing the players
that will make it on the team. This is inside
of this giant building. People are going nuts. This is
on the streets because they love him. And the reason

(59:43):
they put him on the team they've got injury issues.
But the other reason they put him on the team
is the younger players and some of the players his
age and older love him. They absolutely love him. And
the worry is is is he going to be a
giant pain in the butt twenty six year old Nymar

(01:00:04):
who may have been injured and barely got on the team. Yes,
thirty four year old Nymar.

Speaker 17 (01:00:09):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
And the other thing is having Angelotti their coach, their manager.
He's a different cat.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
He's the kind of person where he's played, He's played
in World Cups, he's managing World Cups. He's won more
Champions leagues than anybody as a manager. He has respect.
So I'm pumped.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
So you'll get to see Aymar if you have enough
money to go see some of these games.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
And that's the big issue across the board, as we
have talked about when it comes to the World Cup,
is how expensive things are now.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
That is we talked about it with the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
By the way, remember the first day that the Olympics
went online right LA twenty eight, dot org or whatever
it was, and people were looking at the cost and
that was a real issue. These are secondary tickets now.
I will tell you you can get tickets right now
cheaper than what a lot of people are talking about.

(01:01:14):
But there's no doubt the expense is real.

Speaker 17 (01:01:16):
This year's World Cup will be the biggest ever one
hundred four matches across the US, Canada and Mexico. It's
expected to generate nearly eleven billion dollars and sky high
costs to attend.

Speaker 18 (01:01:29):
But I think it's just way over price.

Speaker 17 (01:01:31):
On FIFA's official resale marketplace, staggering prices, the sports governing
body pocketing a fifteen percent fee from both the seller
and the buyer.

Speaker 19 (01:01:40):
If some people put on a secondary on the resale
market some tickets for the final at two million dollars,
number one, it doesn't mean that the tickets cost two
million dollars.

Speaker 17 (01:01:52):
FIFA President Jihannni and Fantino defended the pricing on the
secondary market and joked, if someone does pay two million.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Dollars, I would personally bring in a hot dog in.

Speaker 17 (01:01:59):
The President Trump, when asked, said even he wouldn't pay
one thousand dollars to watch the US play Paraguay and
the opener. California's Attorney General Rob Bonta also not buying in.
He sent a letter to FIFA Wednesday seeking answers about
potentially misleading ticketing practices after reports that FIFA quote sold
tickets based on seating categories displayed on stadium maps and

(01:02:21):
later altered those seating categorizations before assigning precise seat locations.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Now, there are some serious issues I get with some
of this stuff. That'll take care of itself over time.
The World Cup, FIFA moving around what group you're in.
As far as ticketing, that's a different kind of issue.

(01:02:46):
But there's no doubt that there's some issues with this.
And I will tell you this, it depends on who
you're going to go see now. Portugal you want to
go see Portugal, you want to see Ronaldo. You want
to see Ronaldo?

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Going to pay a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Cheap tickets right now to see, Ronaldo are going to
run you one thousand dollars opening game against the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. Expensive tickets are going to run
you fifteen thousand dollars, right, and by the way, the
tickets for Columbia and them are going to run. Cheap

(01:03:23):
tickets are going to run you five thousand for a pair.
Why because of Ronaldo? Right, you're paying for the premium
of him. But it's not just the cost of the
tickets that people are having issues. Was across the board.
There's the cost of a lot of stuff. When it

(01:03:43):
comes to the expense of the World Cup. And we've
and again we've touched on you know, whether it is
the one hundred dollars was it the train in New
York to New Jersey right from Penn Station normally thirteen bucks,
Now it's ninety eight people.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
I mean, the city's taking advantage.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Everybody's gonna take their opportunity to grab what they can
because it's a big deal. You know, we talk about
Coachella and all these other things. The expense of these things.
People take advantage. They'll say, you have five dollars water
that cost them fifty cents. Why because they can so
I think the ticket prices are starting to come down,

(01:04:21):
and you'll see that they'll you'll be able to get
into some games, not all games like anything. Right, if
you're gonna go see the Royals take on the White
Sox on a Tuesday, you're probably gonna be able to
get some tickets at at okay value. You gotta go
see the Yankees and the Dodgers on a Friday in

(01:04:44):
the playoffs the World Series, Yeah, that's gonna be a
little bit more expensive, And that's the way you got
to look at this.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
So expense. Yes, but we do that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
We'll do for the Super Bowl, we'll do it for playoffs.
I mean, you think that the Knicks tickets are going
to be cheap, or the Canadians taking on the Panthers
in the Eastern Conference NHL Finals, try to buy tickets
to go see that game in Montreal? What do you

(01:05:17):
think that's going to cost a crap ton? Yeah, it's
gonna be the same thing here. All the games will
be sold out, all the games will be packed. But yes,
there's gonna be a premium for certain games, there's no doubt. Absolutely.
Speaking of games, we look back to a quick look
back to the World Cups, and we have been doing it.

(01:05:38):
As we get ready to flash forward in the next
couple days, looking at and breaking down this World Cup
coming here, we'll go back to twenty eighteen. Russia hosted
this World Cup. This is the last time they participated
in anything because you know the thing war For those
who know keeping score, this World Cup was awesome. Goals galore.

(01:06:00):
You could not believe. It was wide open, It was amazing,
and it was led by a French team that was
all about going forward and led by a nineteen year
old on their team named Killian Inbape.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
Nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Just absolutely devastating. He was so good, so the French
team won. They're one of the youngest teams in the tournament.
He became the first teenager since Pele in nineteen fvv
eight to score a goal in the World Cup final.
And the funny thing is, and this is one of
the things that I remember watching the game, he looked

(01:06:38):
like he was playing the video game FIFA on beginner mode.
Half the time. It looked like he wasn't even trying.
Croatia into the finals surprised everybody. They played three knockout
games in a row, all went to extra time they
looked exhausted. Croatia is a country of four million people,

(01:07:02):
and yet they were amazing, absolutely amazing. A lot of
people thought England were going to be the favorites and
once again Croatia broke their heart.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
But Russia was the biggest shock.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
They were the lowest ranked team or one of them
in the World Cup and they were hosting it, and
yet they absolutely were amazing. And that shows you that
when you have the home crowd behind you, and not
just a home crowd, but the country behind you, that

(01:07:34):
you elevate. Top of that. Twenty eighteen World Cup saw
the introduction of VAR that's video assistant referee, more penalties,
lots of debates, and well some pauses in between. It
was fun, it was crazy, and it also featured the
late great Maradonna who was there cheering on Argentina, who

(01:07:57):
he was just a meme every day, from dancing, screaming
to flipping people off. He was enjoying all that the
World Cup had to offer. Tomorrow, we'll look at the
twenty twenty two World Cup, which was a bit of
a Christmas World Cup, and then we'll start breaking down
this World Cup group by group, team by team, three, two, three, five,

(01:08:19):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,

Benson Show, is your ex your Insta and YouTube Chat
Benson Show, Deep States.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
No Deep doo doo eeah, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 18 (01:10:00):
We learn.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
It's what we do here, kids, It's what we do
each and every day. We learn something new. Think of
it as a new language.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
Some people learn Spanish, some people learn German, French, Cantonese
or mandarind. We learn the words that mean things do us,
but to others they mean something else. And that's why
we need to know, because we encounter it every single day.
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

(01:10:29):
The young have a vocabularity all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the Day.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
Alrighty, already, already.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Your urban word of the day today is podium and
you're thinking, I know what podium means. The youth are
using it, and sometimes I don't even think they know
what it means, especially gen Z and a little bit
of alpha.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
Podium worthy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
So you do something awesome, you see some thing awesome,
whatever it is, and you say, you know what, that
is podium worthy. Maybe at work you do something amazing
and somebody will look at you, dude, that is podium worthy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Okay, so great food, great move, whatever it is. If
you do it great, podium worthy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Maybe something that you hear, especially from the youth of America,
podium or podium worthy, your urban worthy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Of the day.

Speaker 9 (01:11:29):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Now you know podium worthy, My friends, our show should
be podium worthy. Would we get a gold medal? Would
we get a silver? What do we get a bronze?
That's the there's an urban word for us. You look
at somebody and go, ah, dude, it sucks that relationship.
I thought you guys were gonna be together forever, but
apparently you got the silver and he got the gold.

(01:11:53):
Oh jeez. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson. That is your ex that
is your insta in YouTube. We will have a video
tonight that I promise you if you have a chance,
check it out. We'll go live right around eight o'clock
on the East coast. If you have a chance, check

(01:12:15):
us out tonight on YouTube. Helps us out right here
in the Chad Benson Show. Coming up our number three
of the program here on what's our next steps. We
shall discuss that big day today right from Georgia to
Kentucky Primary day. But the big one everybody's looking at, obviously,
it's what's going on with Thomas Massey Trump. He's the worst,

(01:12:39):
it's the never been the worst congress person. The battle
is big, the money that is piled into Kentucky is huge,
and this is really the race to see who will
represent that seat, because I don't think the Democrat really
has a chance. But it'll be very interesting to see
how that plays out Massy versus Trump. On other things,

(01:13:00):
so much more straight ahead hour another three Chad Benson Shows.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Paunched the Monkey famous, indeed to the points where people
now want to go there, They want to film, and
maybe stunts not a good thing.

Speaker 20 (01:13:49):
Spectators captured a group of startled animals huddled together, staying
away from the uninvited visitor who seemed walking and climbing
onto part of the exhibit. The zoo released a statement
saying the intruder and a second person have been turned
over to the police and they've strengthened security measures. Local
media reports they were American. This part of zoo gets
thousands of visitors daily hoping to get a glimpse at

(01:14:11):
punch The baby monkey became an Internet sensation after being
rejected by his mother and bullied by other monkeys. His
only friend and orangutan Plushy.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Guy, loved him so much punched the monkey.

Speaker 9 (01:14:25):
Oh my goodness, he's just so cute.

Speaker 20 (01:14:29):
Well, the zoo said no abnormalities haven't reported the animals
this weekend. It's prompted officials to consider suspending requests to
film from YouTubers and others. The costume warm by the
intruder may be linked to meme coin cryptocurrencies.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Wait what Yes, a bunch of idiots put on these
suit with this weird smiling face go in there so
they can up their brand of their meme coin. What
you know, it'd have been great if the monkeys would
have attacked and tore them apart.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
Play a stupid game, win a stupid prize. We've always
talked about that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
I don't wish any ill will on anybody, because sometimes
you go out of nature, and nature, as we know,
can mess you up. But sometimes you put yourself in
a situation where nature is, and when nature messes you up,
I don't feel bad about that.

Speaker 20 (01:15:23):
One group hosting under the handle the Mean Coin Cult
saying they're aware of the stunt carried out by one
of their community members and warns everyone to respect local laws.
This is in the first high profile zoo breach. In March,
a man came face to face with a viral pygmy
hippo MoU Dang in Thailand. At the time, zookeeper said
the animal was unharmed, but may have been alarmed. Back

(01:15:45):
in Japan, growing scrutiny over this stunt and the culprits
crashing the home of one of the most famous zoo
animals in the world, and starting Tuesday, the zoo will
be beefing of the popular enclosure that houses punched by
restricting the viewing area. The plan is in sall these
so called intrusion prevention nets and add permanent patrols. Meanwhile,

(01:16:07):
the two men currently being detained will be questioned by
prosecutors tomorrow, and the New York Times, citing police, say
they're denying charges of obstruction.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
What are you doing now? You jump in with little
old moo dang? What the hell you doing there?

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
I mean I'm just curious. What are you doing enough?

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Leevill Punch has had enough issues in his life. He
doesn't need you and your dumb assery to jump into
his area so you can do what promote your meme coin.
You know, would have been great if they actually had
the bowl of virus and gave it to these idiots.

(01:16:49):
Shad uh. Yeah, I'm not really sad about it. Like
I said, when you do something stupid like that, okay,
when you do do something dumb like that and something
happens to you, I don't feel bad. When you try
to take a a selfie with a shark and the

(01:17:10):
shark bite your hands off, that's a you problem. When
you try to pet the bison and the bison decides
to throw you into a tree, and break your back.
That's a you problem. I'm not talking about somebody who's
enjoying nature, just walking, not messing with any of the animals,
and the animal attacks you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
That happens.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
It's awful. We recognize that when we talk about nature
messing up. You going into nature and screwing around with
nature because you want a great selfie or you want
to do something that is going to get your cred,
and then something happens. I don't feel bad. I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
Nobody should. And I know I'm gonna get somebody who goes,
that's really mean what you said.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
I really don't care. Sorry, don't do something stupid and
put yourself in that position.

Speaker 9 (01:18:04):
Don't.

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
I'm always amazed that people do that.

Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
I'm always amazed that people put themselves in those positions.

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
Because they want cred on the gram if you will.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
Meanwhile, it's primary day, that's right, It's primary day. So Kentucky,
we've been talking about the most expensive primary in the
history of America. Thomas Massey going up against Trump's handpicked

(01:18:42):
Massy slayer, and everybody is focused on Ed and Massey.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
Oh, Thomas versus Ed.

Speaker 21 (01:18:49):
The Republican Party is Donald Trump's party. Lindsay Graham said
it yesterday, and Republicans have been saying it now for
the better part of the decade. Those who resisted it
have found themselves no longer representing a public office, almost exclusively.
So Donald Trump's appeal among Republicans is just as strong
as it's ever been. That's different, though, than appeal in
a general election. These are Republican primary voters and getting

(01:19:11):
that base motivated for the fall that will be critical
for Republicans. But Donald Trump's approval rating somewhere in the thirties.
That is a lot of voters who don't like Donald
Trump and may not like candidates that Donald Trump likes.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
And that right there is something I've been saying over
and over and over again. Jim and I talk about
it all the time here with you midterm mondays the
quality of the candidate matters. In places where it's dead red,
you could put anything there and the primary, whoever wins

(01:19:44):
that is going to win. Anybody with an R they're
going to win, Okay, same thing with the blue in
places that it's purplish, say Jeorgia and other places like that.
When you've had these instances where you've seen it be
become purple and it can go either way.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
Well, that's when the quality of candidate matters. This will
be the person that represents.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
The fourth district in Kentucky, whoever wins this one, Ed
Gallarman or Thomas Massey. That being said, as we have
pointed out, go look at and I continue to go
back to this herschel Walker, perfect example, Doctor Oz perfect example.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
Although let's be real, the Republicans.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Nobody kind of got lucky because Ftterman has been more
of a Republican than a Democrat in some ways. But
for the most part, if it's close, quality of candidates matter.
Arizona perfect example. Trump got hardcore behind Carry Lake. Carrie
Lake lost to Hobbes, but she won the general. Karen

(01:20:59):
Taylor Robeson, who lost the primary to carry Lake, would
have smoked Hobbs. So just because you win the primary
doesn't mean it translates into the victory in the general.
So this is going to be very interesting to see
how this thing plays itself out.

Speaker 18 (01:21:20):
Thomas, it's kind of crazy that you would send the
Secretary of War.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
That's right, Secretary of War was there yesterday? What was
he doing there?

Speaker 18 (01:21:29):
President Trump would not be doing this if they were
confident that they were winning, and they're worried that I'm
going to win.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
I don't think Massey is going to win. I would
like to think he is, because I like Thomas Massey.
I think he is, you know, for the most part,
somewhat principled. I mean, nor his votes perfect depends on
what it is. The problem with voting in today's world
is there's no vote for any issue, doesn't matter what

(01:22:02):
it is. So they're like, Thomas Massey voted against this
bill or that bill, And then you go and look
and you're like, well, that's because you guys want to
extend the warrantless FAISA so you can spy on Americans.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
He's not for that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
You want to increase the debt, he's not for that.
You want to give money over here to Israel, being
the big one that everybody focuses on, but he's forgiving
no money to anybody foreign aid wise. So it's hard
to get a gauge right when everything's crammed in there.
And that's what they do. And then they say, well,

(01:22:38):
you don't like puppies. That's the thing I always go to.
They'll spend eight gazillion dollars on stuff that you just
are like, no, right, no way, And then in the
bill they'll put a thing where that says you know
something about puppies and how much you should love puppies,

(01:22:59):
and and if you don't vote for this bill, you'll
hate puppies, and they'll name it you hate Puppies Bill.
If you don't vote for bill, something stupid like that.
And then when it's up happening, you're like, I'm not
voting for a trillion dollars more in debt so you
can hug a puppy. It's not what this is about.

(01:23:20):
That's the way that a lot of these things are framed,
and it's ridiculous, it really is.

Speaker 18 (01:23:25):
So he knows I'm not a fool.

Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
He knows I'm tough too.

Speaker 18 (01:23:28):
He calls me a tough cookie when we talk on
the phone, because he knows I don't crumble. He knows
when I take a position, I stand on that position,
and he knows I'm tough to beat. He's tweeted probably
what eight or ten times in the last seventy two hours.
He's literally losing sleep over this race because he's in
with both feet and I think they're polling shows. What
are polling shows, which is there's a better than half

(01:23:51):
chance that we're going to win this race.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Now I've looked at the numbers. The numbers say.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
And is Lee in a vast majority of the polls
taken for what it's worth, But also Calshi and Polymarket
have it where Ed's gonna win.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
And this has nothing to do with Ed, right, I
want to make that clear. This has nothing to do
with him.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Right, He's a former Navy seal, he's a farmer, seems
to be by all accounts, a pretty damn good guy.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
This has nothing to do with Ed.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
It is all doe with the fact that somebody who
had serious questions about the amount of debt about the
influence of Israel and several others, about the fact that
the Epstein stuff seemed to be buried after pushing it,
that you're going after because principally you don't like the

(01:24:45):
fact that he told you know in a few things,
even though you pushed a lot of these things. So, yeah,
this has nothing to do with Ed and all to
do with Trump and Massy. But we'll find out in
the next several hours what it looks like three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Ched Benson's show, Surecksure. Instead,
we will talk around a little bit. Trump decided yesterday

(01:25:07):

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):

on a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
Last hour had to do with tax evasion because Spain
said she lived in the country when she was there,
but not for the amount of time that they said.
So they have to give back fifty five million euros
about seventy five million bucks. Mark Verman, oh J. Simpson

(01:27:54):

over to Google number one trending thing, San Diego shooting.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
Tom Kane, great voice actor, has passed away at age

(01:29:00):
twenty four or twenty three at chat Betson show, is
your X, your insta YouTube and more loving from all
of you right here in the Chad Benson Show. Trump
Our X and Mark Cuban partner up for more low
cost generics, which is phenomenal. The gop Chenk, Greenland, vote,

(01:29:23):
Massy Iran all things trending on X. Of course, one
of the other things that is trending is the Ebola virus.
Last week it was the haunt of virus. This week
it's the Ebola virus.

Speaker 20 (01:29:36):
I can now confirm that there's one case of ebola
in an American.

Speaker 1 (01:29:40):
Who's exposed as part of their work in the Democratic Republic.

Speaker 23 (01:29:44):
Of Congo doooooooo.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
So that means it's going to come here and it's
going to spread easy, right.

Speaker 10 (01:29:51):
Ebola is different from COVID, it's different from measles. It's
something that is spread specifically through direct contact, and it's
something that is highly contagious through direct contact.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Through direct contact, so I got to go and make
contact with somebody if I want to try to catch
this thing, right, You've got to actually make contact and
make contact in a way where there's a good it's
not airborne, right, because the minute it becomes airborne, it dies,
So it has to be through other means.

Speaker 10 (01:30:20):
This particular strain has a little bit of a lower
mortality rate than the other strain that we are more
familiar with, but it's still very, very dangerous and it's
still a very deadly virus.

Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
Okay, so what exactly are you saying here? Just be
straight with us, doc.

Speaker 10 (01:30:35):
What can happen is that from these flu like symptoms,
it can progress to multi system organ failure, bizarre bleeding,
and you know, shock and death.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Okay, we don't want that, so be prepared.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
It may or may not be here. We don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Coming up, what's next for Iran and US.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Mike Lions military analyst, joints the programs Straight Ahead, Chad
Benson Show, Chad.

Speaker 23 (01:31:00):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, that time of the

(01:31:24):
week we talk you know military.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
We got the best damn military analyst in the business.
Tried major from the army and yes, Mike Lyon's the
best damn military analysts in the business. Mike First, Uh,
Trump yesterday says we're pausing. We're getting ready to do
a major attack, but now we're pausing it. And it
seems like the reason we're pausing it is because some
of our allies in the Gulf States are getting a

(01:31:48):
little nervous about what's going on there, because they feel
like they're the ones who are going to face the
brunt of what may come if America hits hard.

Speaker 9 (01:31:59):
Oh Chi, that's exactactly right.

Speaker 12 (01:32:00):
And I think we've sent a bad message to the
Iranians by doing this, by US listening there, and I
think they're really afraid of retaliation there. I think they're
really afraid that Donald Trump is just going to quit
and just walk away. There's you know, inside the military
community very clearly it's time to go, it's time to
you know, continue this operation and finish this thing off.

Speaker 9 (01:32:22):
And there's just real concern now.

Speaker 12 (01:32:24):
You know, momentum is always on the side of you know,
the one that has the greater firepower, and so we
can get it pretty quickly. But I think there was
pretty much you know, disappointing yesterday from a military perspective
that I know things were lined up, I know, things
were ready to go, and he decided to pull the
plug and you know, blaming the leaders of Katar, Saudi
Arabia at UAE, but I think they're more afraid that

(01:32:46):
he's going to quit and not follow through and they'll
be stuck, you know, holding the retaliation bag, which the
Ranians will definitely do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
You know, that's the interesting thing about how long is
Trump feel like he's in this? Because I think he
is frustrated because I think he realized he's not going
to be able to bomb his way into the hearts
and minds of the average person in Iran and at
the same time destroy the military infrastructure to the tune

(01:33:16):
of what two hundred thousand IRGC members and who knows
what else is out there.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
So there's this frustrating part.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
Because I have a feeling I feel like and it's
just me, he was sold a bill of goods by
the Israelis, in particular BB, that this was going to
be no different than going into Venezuela.

Speaker 9 (01:33:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:33:32):
I mean for him to think that and would have
gotten that advice from our chairman would have been unrealistic
because that Venezuela operation still amazing to the day. But
you know, clearly thirty million people and no military fundamentally
there with Iran with ninety million people and an entrenched
i ERGC that we see now is really running that country.
But you heard BB also say in sixty minutes that

(01:33:55):
we've accomplished a great deal, but it's not over. So
they are absolutely ready to go back to war. Also,
they they're concerned about the capabilities that they have, so
you know, he's already said to Trump, you know, degrade
has not been destroyed where Trump uses that word destroyed.
So I think I think Israel is still in much

(01:34:15):
in this fight and they really want to get you know,
kind of things moving again. And it works well when
our two militaries are synced up. But it doesn't look
like Trump wants to do it. I'm just you know,
he's running this thing like it's a TV show, you know, today,
you know, stay tuned for the next episode of what's
what's happening in Iran?

Speaker 9 (01:34:30):
And it I think the military.

Speaker 12 (01:34:33):
It's starting to wear on the military a little bit
as I talk to people, because it's almost like an
unseerious approach to what's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
You know, Mike, you talk about bb and and we've
talked about Israel before. It's weird because Trump and our
negotiators have to negotiate with Iran and who who do
we trust over there?

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
That's the other side of this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
And at the same time as we're negotiating, we kind
of have to go back and somewhat negotiate with Israel
on you know this. It's this weird kind of dynamic
of trying to find out what's the sweet spot when
it comes to what Iran will give up, what Israel
be happy with, what we can give Iran that'll make
them happy, and what Israel will be allowing Iran to do.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
It's it's that's a tough way to negotiate.

Speaker 12 (01:35:17):
Yeah, exactly. And as I you know, kind of lay
these things out to me, there are clear red lines.
Red lines meaning no nuclear weapons, no nuclear capability. And
you know Trump float of the idea of maybe twenty years.
I mean, where did that come from? If he does
a deal that looks anything like Obama's JCPOA, he is toast.
Not only is he toast, but so is the whole

(01:35:38):
political apparatus of the GOP. And I think that's a
that's a real challenge. Well, what's another red line? So,
for example, are we going to.

Speaker 9 (01:35:44):
Turn around and do reparations?

Speaker 12 (01:35:46):
Give the Uranians billions of dollars for what all they'll
do is turn it around and put it into those
proxy forces that Israel has been fighting for the past
fifty years. So to me, we need unconditional surrender. We
need to get to, you know, what the end of
this war really looks like. And I don't know what
we're negotiating. They set up now a strait of Hormootz authority.

(01:36:10):
I guess the Ranians have right over yesterday. I mean,
they actually believe they're going to charge a toll now
through that passageway. And again we're going to let that happen.
There's just no way we can let that happen. So again,
I'm not sure where this is going. I think, you know,
we're definitely you know, we haven't lost anything. I'm not
going to go in that route. You know, They've had
a lot of capability. But but it sure doesn't look

(01:36:32):
like victory yet. And then Trump from the walk away
is going to have to have a visual sign of that.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
And you know, you talk about like what does the
end look like?

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Because and and and for us, you know, the average
American and this isn't very popular right now because prices
are going up, and the average American who's trying to
survive day to day really wasn't worried about whether or
not Iran was going to bomb us. Now they're just
trying to make sure their kids get the school, they
have enough to you know, pay rent. But what at
what point does you know, what does victory look like

(01:36:59):
for Trump, because you know, you unconditional surrender probably isn't
going to happen without lots of boots on the ground
or dropping so many bombs that we become a pariat
of the world because we've killed millions.

Speaker 12 (01:37:12):
Yeah, that's you know, that would be awful also, and
that you know that that I don't say this often,
but you know that's obviously bordering out a war crime.
I mean, this is not Dresden. We're not going to
do something like that. Look, go after infrastructure that will
eventually lead to a lot of that that that humanitarian hardship.
But again, some of their demands are just off the charts.

(01:37:33):
I mean now they're speaking about keeping there and rich duramium,
but down blending it into something else, which is code
for they could just reblend it back up to you know,
weapons grade nuclear capability. So I don't know, I think
that I still think carg Island remains a key place
that we could put troops on the ground, and I

(01:37:54):
think they're concerned about trying to do some kind of
economic collapse from the inside. Look, I hope the CIA
was everybody's working on getting weapons, you know, to people
inside the country. You know, we tried to we try
to get the Curds involved. That didn't work. You know,
we gave them a bunch of weapons and they kept
them themselves. They weren't interested in fighting. But again, there's
no real sign of visual victory that's on the map

(01:38:17):
right now, and I think that's a real concern for
the president.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
Talking to my clients are military analysts, we talk about
all things when it comes to currently our conflicts everywhere.
When you look at our partners, neighbors, you know, the
golf if you will, as far as you know, between Iran,
Israel and everything. But you look at Cutter, you look
at Saudi Arabia, you look at Oman, you look at
the UA.

Speaker 3 (01:38:38):
There's a lot of worry there and they're getting frustrated.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
They're starting to turn to China charting to think we
don't need all of this dependence upon the US. There
is a frustration there, especially now because I feel like
they think they're not protecting us. And what if Iran
decides to blow up some of our other stuff and
make this a nightmare for us, because America can walk
away and then we're stuck with this nightmare.

Speaker 12 (01:39:00):
Yeah, I think UA in particular is concerned. I think
that's the number one target that Iran has actually gone after,
not more than US targets more than any other country.
I guess the other day there was a drone strike
on the perimeter of one of their nuclear power plants.
I mean, now you know that's a conventional weapon hitting
some kind of nuclear facility on its edge. You now

(01:39:21):
have radiological, radiological issues and all all the things that
you know kind of go with that. So I think
there's real concern. Yeah, I go back to the summit,
though I don't think anything was really accomplished from that,
especially when it comes to Iran. You know, Trump made
a couple of sayings that you know, the Chinese should
have said that they don't have nuclear weapons and they
want to see it over, but that's kind of it.
I mean, I think that was all nothing but performative,

(01:39:44):
and I think the machia Alian tactics he applied just
you know, kind of came back and kind of heart
him because I don't think anything really really came from that.

Speaker 9 (01:39:51):
So we have to watch.

Speaker 12 (01:39:53):
There's so many dangerous things going on in the world,
just not only this in Iran, but we've talked about
the AI aspect of it, military aspect of it, and
the offense and the defensive capabilities of artificial intelligence and
what that means.

Speaker 9 (01:40:06):
And we haven't even had a conversation about that.

Speaker 12 (01:40:08):
So there's that train is moving down the station very quickly,
and we need to kind of get on board with
it very quickly.

Speaker 3 (01:40:14):
You know that it's as we sit here because you know,
ideal in AI. You work in AI.

Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
You know, my uncle and I have a company in AI,
but it's for entertainment purposes and we you know.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
But the reality is the race that's going.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
On now between America and China is twofold one trying
to figure out what the average person is going to
be able to utilize for AI and business. That's a
tough thing. But the real war is who's going to
win in the world of AI. Who's going to have
the dominant you know, military potential force when it comes
to AI. That's the thing that really is the big battle.

(01:40:50):
And man, you and I have seen it that that
documentary came out last year on Netflix about AI. When
You've got the best pilots we have after two rounds
against AI, saying there's no way I can beat this thing.

Speaker 12 (01:41:05):
Yeah, and you got to look at it both on
the offense and the defensive side. It's one thing if
you're so confident in your AI on your defensive capability,
like Israel was with Iron Dome for example, that's all AI.
There's no human saying yeah, I pull the trigger and
fire at that rocket coming out, and that becomes destabilizing
as you get more confident in your ability to win

(01:41:26):
a first strike war. Well, that was the issue with
mutually sured destruction back with nuclear weapons back in the
seventies and eighties, and that's how it's got to be
treated right now. And I bet out last week about
that that has to be treated like a nuclear weapon.
We have to look at this through the eyes of
the Salt treaties that we took place with Russia. But
the problem is she made a very interesting point that

(01:41:47):
I think has been ignored, and that is he definitely
looks at the United States as a declining power and
him in China as the rising power. And maybe history
does show that, but that might be five hundred years
from now, but it's not you know, or tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:42:01):
Again, we've talked about we're a quarter of the way
through the century and China is still nowhere in sight
and it comes of being world of the world.

Speaker 9 (01:42:08):
Dominant power over the United States.

Speaker 12 (01:42:10):
But Ai in particular could allow them to catch up
very quickly, especially especially if they implement all on all domains,
military communication space, all these domains that are out there, sea, land,
they can have a real quick way to get you
to exert pressure on the rest of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
Talking to my clients are military, and let's be talking
about all things military.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
You know, I have to be asked. I wasn't impressed
with Trump's trip. I think there's a lot of stuff.
You know, he signals, hey, look we got all these
things done. I don't think there was a lot done.
And China's got no reason to you know, they can
lip service all you want about Iran, but they have
no reason to help us whatsoever, because they're kind of
enjoying watching us have to dig out of this nightmare.

(01:42:54):
When this is over, a couple of days goes by,
and then yesterday here comes to Pooter to hang.

Speaker 12 (01:42:58):
Out with She yeah, you know, I know, yeah, you know.
The Chinese have got their own challenges. I think still
the fact that there was not a single general officer
in the Chinese military that's been involved with the conflict.
If you're going to project power, that could be that
could still be a problem. But but again that's that's
kind of what they're banking on there, you know, you know,

(01:43:20):
telling Trump to basically stay away from Taiwan was an
interesting flex and the fact that Trump you know, kind
of read right into it, didn't didn't was very again
try to be very Machiavelli, and you know, he wants
to be feared, not loved, brought all the CEOs, didn't
bring general officers with him. But then she got right
to the military aspect of it about don't don't touch Taiwan,

(01:43:41):
and it'll it'll be you know, a strategic historical mistake
for the US. But but but we've gotten by that
pretty quick. It's almost like that's been forgotten and we're
already on to the next episode of you know, what's
new in the United States Foreign Policy today?

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Last question, talking to my clients and military analyst uh Ukraine.
Ukraine absolutely sent some messages. They had a couple of
messages sent to them last week. But there's no doubt
the drones have changed everything. And I go back to
whether people like Zelenski or not, he's absolutely right about this.
You know what doesn't bleed on the battlefield, robots and drones. Yeah,

(01:44:17):
and this is my buddy said yesterday. You think Pewter
felt better being over in China where he doesn't feel
like at any given time somebody's gonna come through that
door and take him out because they're over what's going
on over there, because I think they realize, all right,
we've kind of gone as far as we possibly can.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
People coming home with body bags. This isn't making our
world any better.

Speaker 12 (01:44:38):
You know, he saw the fact. You know, Zelenski did
a solid for Trump and some level because you're seeing
capability because of the drone strikes now that Ukraine can
definitely reach into Russia, reach deep into Russia.

Speaker 9 (01:44:52):
They could have attacked Russia on that May Day parade
there they.

Speaker 12 (01:44:56):
Had a few weeks back now that that would have
been just incredible on a lot of levels. And you know,
I guess the ceasefire Trump kind of ordered to have
happened for a prisoner exchange that didn't happen. But Putin
is now it appears to be becoming somewhat exhausted. He's
got to find a strategy out himself. And you know

(01:45:18):
that's the whole issue about this conflict is that in
both sides they've got to find that golden bridge. His sons,
who says, with regard to saving enough face to make
sure that all the hardliners and people will survive, I
don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:45:28):
It's a shame what's happened.

Speaker 12 (01:45:30):
Obviously, we're going on three or four years now, and
it just the amount of people that the Russians have
lost in this. But I'll tell you what, from a
military perspective, boy, that battlefield has been an incredible laboratory
for what the future of warfare looks like. And it's ugly,
and it's going to be automated, and it's going to
be like you said, no wipe and noses, no wipe
and Heine's it's going to be twenty four to seven

(01:45:52):
and it's the kill zone. It's going to be very
short between identifying targets and when that target gets taken out.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
He's the best at military analysts business tired major in
the art my clients, Brother, appreciate you coming on. We'll
do it again next week.
