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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oil prices, the cost of life, those are the things
that matter to the average person. And I want you
to listen to Mark Theeson here, and this says everything
you need to know about the neocons and about the
people out there who aren't living in everybody else's world
who talk about how wonderful this is.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
We can't handle four dollars oil for a period of
months in order to disarm around up a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
We're not a superpower anymore.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Yeah, but there are a lot of Americans who their
kitchen table issues matter to them more than foreign policible.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yes, because we were told no more of these things.
We were told no more wars, we were told no
more spending like drunken sailors. And what have we gotten? Wars, bombings,
drunken sailor spending, And it's costing us. And people are pissed,
and they have every right to be pissed, and they
should be angry. Abps of freaking lootely to hear that smugness.

(01:12):
If we can't handle four dollars gasoline, shut up, because
it's not just four dollar gasoline, it's the cost of
all of the other stuff. As diesel prices rise. It's
the ebbs and flows if nobody really knows what tomorrow
is going to bring when it comes to this, because
we start, we stop, we start, we stop. We've still
not really been told anything other than some bs excuses

(01:35):
we don't want them to get a nuclear weapon. Well,
how do we know they're not going to try to
get a nuclear weapon now? Because we don't believe what
our intelligence agencies say because they said they weren't trying
to get one. So how do we know that they're

(01:56):
not trying to get a nuclear weapon? How will we
know that? Because to get to where apparently we need
to know, and we're going to talk to my clients,
our military analysts coming up a little bit. We're going
to have to put boots on the ground and get
in there and control everything. But the if you can't

(02:18):
handle four dollars gas, I've heard that crap. You know
what I can? First of all, because I don't drive
for those you guys don't know. I literally live eight
hundred yards if that from my work, so I wader
over there and I don't really you know, I just
I wanted to live in the city because I live

(02:39):
so far away. In the last go round of chaos
and craziness, I lived one hundred and thirty miles round
trip from door to door work to work in home home.
It was a nightmare, and I was spending one thousand
dollars a month of time. So when gas was out
of control. So I've been there, and I said, I
want to do it again. But even if I had to,

(03:00):
I can afford four dollar gas. You know who can't.
A lot of people, a lot of voters who didn't
think we were going to be in a war, and
to make it seem like somehow they're upset because they're
making choices based on their families' needs over the needs

(03:20):
of another country who wanted us to get into this,
and some imaginary they are going to get a bomb
tomorrow and blow it up somewhere, knowing that they would
be eviscerated in a second if that happened. I'm sorry.
I just called BS. And again, it's not just about

(03:43):
the four dollar gas.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
While we saw the inflation numbers pulling back for July,
everything that is happening over the last couple of weeks
and is going to continue forward here is going to
be supported for diesel prices, it would seem, and higher inflation.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh remember when diesel goes up the cost of getting
stuff from point A to point B. Okay, so here
is diesel prices up. That is costing you more money

(04:17):
and me more money as stuff has to get from
the ship to the train to the truck. The cost
to make the goods is going up. You know what's
not going up? Your wages. Yeah, so I'm gonna call

(04:40):
BS if you're out there going. If we don't like
four dollar gas, we're just not really a strong superpower.
Shut up. Just shut the hell up getting somebody else's
shoes as you walk around. I saw Soccer and Jenny Go.
I see him all the time at Whole Foods. You're

(05:01):
not at the food bank.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, I don't have to be because you know it
doesn't bother me. Well, that's because you're a great American,
You ass hat. Chad. Somebody said yesterday, I've got a
stop saying the words piss off. I apologize for that.
I didn't know I said that. Sometimes it just comes out.
It's putting that out there. We moved from there to
and we're going to talk to my clients about the

(05:24):
missiles our defense because I keep telling everybody, and again
we talked to Mike, our military analysts com up a
little bit. It's not so much the whether or not
we can wage war, it's what kind of defense do
we have left? I think is the big issue, because
we've pulled a lot of our stuff from other places,

(05:46):
trying to be very defensive, especially in areas where we've
got allies over there and we have bases there and
they're firing stuff into their countries, and we were making
strategic decisions over the weekend of what we should shoot
down and what is going to either land in an
area where we're really not bothered because we don't have

(06:06):
anything important there, especially our soldiers, so we can let
it do whatever little damage it's going to do. That's
where we're at now.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
Whatever that inventory of Iranian weapons still is, it is depleted.
The defensive capabilities of the United States and the allies
in the region.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, whatever it is, because we're told every day that
there's nothing left.

Speaker 8 (06:28):
This is more dealing with the overall military posture of
the United States because it's a shell.

Speaker 9 (06:34):
Game if you think about it.

Speaker 8 (06:35):
So if a significant amount of missile defense capability has
to come from places in Asia and Europe to supplement
what exists now in the Middle East, to protect against
a potential Iranian threat that may resume. Then you're potentially
weaker in these other parts of the world.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
And we've seen that we've had to pull stuff out
of South Korea in certain places to try to bolster
the defense of our allies over there as well as
our basis. So again, we're gonna get into a little
bit deeper with my clients about this because I think

(07:13):
it's important you know, what is the reality of this
and you And this is the funny thing. When I
talk about this, people say you hate America. When he
talked like, no, I don't. I love America. I've said
this over and over again. There is no way Iran
is beating us if we were to go full hog

(07:35):
on the military side. There's just no way if we did.
But the amount of troops we would have to actually
put on the ground, the amount of loss that we
would occur along with them, Then you get into the money.
I mean, we could just it doesn't benefit us. But

(07:55):
none of this has benefited us at all. And the
frustration level through the roof and the just the hearing
somebody say, well, if we can't Handlefono agains, just shot it.
My god, but we are depleting and we're going to
talk to Mike about that. What does it mean again?

(08:15):
We can offensively, We've got stuff. It's the defensive side
that has a lot of people worried. We move from
there to tomorrow. Fauci remember this guy.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
For Anthony Fauci, American hero.

Speaker 10 (08:30):
The man who's become known as America's doctor.

Speaker 11 (08:33):
Who better to give us answers that we can trust
than doctor Anthony Fauci.

Speaker 8 (08:38):
The great news is you're sticking around in the Biden administration.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
We are so grateful to you, doctor Fauci, Doctor Fauci,
you're just the best. Oh god, oh remember was it
Fauci sexual? All the ladies on the view found him
just he's third dreamy because he's just fighting this thing. Well,
tomorrow is going to be on the hill getting grilled.

(09:02):
Diaries have been released and there's a lot of interesting
stuff in there. Here's what I'm gonna tell you. I
don't think anything's gonna come out of this. I think
you're gonna get soundbites that'll be great. He had a
lot of skepticism, you could tell certain things. But for him,
he fell in love with celebrity. There's no doubt about that.

(09:26):
And with that celebrity came protecting his image along with
a narrative. But we knew that. But at what cost?
And nobody's really going to cover this. And I say
this to people, Look, I understand why nobody's going to

(09:47):
talk a lot about this, but it does need to
be talked about. Of all of the things that have
affected my life as a you know, in a community
and a world, I can't think of anything bigger. I'm
not talking about it as an individual moment in time,

(10:09):
the birth of your child, stuff like that, the death
of someone, the winning the lot, whatever it is. I'm
just talking about as a massive, huge incident that took
place that we all participated in. This thing nine to
eleven happened, and it was horrific and you remember the day.
But when it comes to something that lingered, then it

(10:32):
became so ridiculously political. I can't think of anything at
all that had that kind of effect. And then the
chaos that came with it. We all know about the
chaos that came with it, you know, from local municipalities

(10:54):
to your states, to the battle of whether or not
you should get vaccine, which it wasn't just it was
a shot. I keep telling everybody the worst thing they
ever did when it came to the vaccine was called
it that it'll call the you know it's a flu vaccine,
but he's called a flu shot. Do you get a
flu shot? Do you get a flu shot? And then
the politics of it all. And let me tell you something,

(11:16):
when you read some of this stuff, and I've gone
through a decent amount of it, he played the game
of politics and he enjoyed the celebrity. There's no doubt.
So it'll be interesting tomorrow. I don't think anything's gonna
come of it, just a lot of soundbites because it's America, baby,
and we like soundbites. You know that. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,

(11:39):
is your ex, your Insta? All of those other good things.
A lot of stuff to get to, Like I said,
Mike Lyons coming up here in a little bit. Can't
wait to talk to him about what's going on? Are
we depleted? What does it really look like out there?
Among other things. But first bull or capital with all
the chaos going on, with all lunacy, with all of
the potential issues when it comes to AI, the overspending
geopolitical art, how are you protected? Bulwark would love to

Speaker 1 (13:09):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know who's text the program left hearing from all
of you? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three. Got a tax from forty eight hundred
says we don't need iron developing a nuclear weapon. You
libtard kook? You got me out? Yeah, totally got me.
That was a what a got me right there? Oh wow,

(13:36):
that's a drop the mic moment? Or ridiculous you decide.
Speaking of ridiculous, this guy does fake political ads that
are just the best, and he's making fun of Texas.
And because if you guys listen to the political ads,

(13:58):
they're awful. They're all the right. It's like they wrote
three ads for each side and they leave the name
blank and then you insert your name there, and they're
all the most ridiculous things ever. I'm gonna fight against
Trump because he's evil and he's gonna make us do

(14:20):
the goose step, you know, or whatever. And on the
other side, it's like Drum's the greatest, He's never been greater.
He's the greatest of greatest and I love him greater
than all of the other greater people ever. But then
they've got a lot of fun, hilarious stuff like the
cultural wars. This guy does it perfect.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Texas may be a lot of things, but one thing
we are not is a safe haven for criminal gay
Salvadorian immigrants. Do you want to be able to stockpile
as much ammunition as humanly possible to fight back against
the tyrannical government that you currently submit to join me?
I heard a story about a lady in Roanoke, Texas,

(14:58):
sent her son to school in the morning as a boy.
He came back home later that day a transgender squirrel.
I went to my local coffee shop just the other morning,
grabbed myself an Americano. Guess what I see? A Middle
Eastern Musslim man reading a book wearing lipstick. Every McDonald's

(15:22):
in the Dallas Fort Worth area is now owned and
operated by the Chinese Communist Park. I'm Roger Rodrick, running
for Texas Railroad Commissioner. My proven track record as an
owner operator of several Hooters franchises has set me up
for success in this world. Because, trust me, if you
can run two Hooters on a Saturday night. You can
do just about anything. Brother, I'm endorsed by kid Rock

(15:46):
and Died mount God bless the state of Texas, and
God bless you all. I approved this message.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh that is so endorsed by Kid Rocking, Diet Mountain Dew.
Let me know, are you guys sick and tired of
hearing these ads? So they're driving you crazy and they're
about to get a lot worse once we're totally through
the primary season. Love hearing from all of you radio
on the Chad Beenzi Show. Meanwhile, yesterday they got one

(16:15):
of the suspects in the shooting in Seattle fifteen. I
want to say that again, fifteen. What do you guys think?
Was it terrorism? No gangs? Allegedly? We know. Why does
a fifteen year old have a gun? Why does a
fifteen year old need a gun? Why does the person

(16:37):
who was nineteen, like the eldest of the group, have
a gun. Why are they beefing and they feel the
best thing to do is to pull out a gun
and shoot wildly?

Speaker 13 (16:51):
The Seattle Police Department detained a fifteen year old juvenile
in connection with the shooting. The teen was booked into
the judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center
for Investigation for firearms violations and first degree assaults.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I said it yesterday, even before everything was done. What
do you bet it's young gangsters who think the only
way you solve an issue is by taking out guns
when you got beef infuriating, We should all be infuriating.
We should coming up. My client's military analyst joins the program.

(17:29):
We're going to talk about offense defense when it comes
to missile capabilities and how long does it actually take
to replenish some of this stuff? He joins the program.
Straight ahead, this is the Chad Benson Show. Then Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
The Chad Benson Show, and is that time of the week.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Talk to the best dam military and analyst in the business.
Tired major in the Army, the one and only Mike
Liones joins the program. All right, Mike, first and foremost,
we need to separate the rumors from the facts. I've
been saying for a while that we have depleted not
so much our offensive capability, but our defensive capability seems
to be running on a little bit on empty. And

(18:29):
you know, what's your take on this? That you know
that we are kind of short in certain areas because
we've seen us pull stuff from other parts of the world,
and I feel like that, you know what, there's a
little bit more of fire there than just the smoke.

Speaker 14 (18:42):
You know, child, You look at the military situation right now,
it remains a siege from by definition alone, as we
control the means of attacking this other country at will,
when we want to fundamentally with weapons that they can't
defend against.

Speaker 9 (18:59):
We saw the Houthis try to.

Speaker 14 (19:00):
Get in the game for about ten minutes and they
had it. They fired on a couple of ships, but
as I said, they just don't have this long term
sustainable capability. But to your point, two types of weapons,
the offensive weapons and the defensive weapons.

Speaker 9 (19:13):
And while looks like we have.

Speaker 14 (19:14):
A lot of sidewinders and a lot of things that
could hit the offensive side, there's clearly concern on the
defensive side, the patriots, the things that are going to
protect the air defense platforms that are sitting in countries
like Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Noman, and doesn't appear
that those countries also are confident with them as well.
So this pause could be reflective of that it's more
on the defensive weapons as protection of the force remains

(19:37):
a number one priority.

Speaker 9 (19:38):
I was talking to some of the other day.

Speaker 14 (19:42):
At the military academy and they are concerned that the
Iran war is becoming more and more weighing on people's
minds about joining the military. So if that's if that
we're at that now point now and protection of the
force is important, I think they're concerned about what those
defensive canisters look like.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
So you we've talked about the offensive, give everybody a
breakdown of what our defensive capabilities are that we have
over there that works, and also the time frame to
replenish those.

Speaker 14 (20:10):
Yeah, So think about the defensive air defense capabilities as
cordons that exist in layers based on the atmosphere, because
that's where the missiles are coming from, and the capability
to take out missiles at different parts of the atmosphere.
The patriots take them out the highest point, for example,
and you bring them slowly down for example. These railies

(20:30):
have developed David slaying and the other systems that as
the rockets get closer and closer, it takes the missiles
out well. So same thing, but what's coming from Iran
are the ones at the highest levels of the atmosphere,
So those take the more sophisticated air defense systems in
order to go after some of those missiles come in
supersonic speed. They come in at a rate that requires

(20:53):
specific technology to go after them. Sometimes those systems are
land based and sometimes they're sea based.

Speaker 9 (20:59):
They're ship based.

Speaker 14 (21:00):
Most of the ships, though, are dependent on protecting the carriers,
and so they are really really expensive missiles that fire
because those ones really got to make sure they hit
the target. So if we're going to go after one
of those using one of those, it's got to you know,
really make it worth while. But think of it as layers,
and the fact of the manner is that in between
those layers there's bubbles where there's vulnerability. So those vulnerbilities

(21:22):
are from drone swarms, for example. So drone swarms don't
come in at a high level, but they come in
at medium levels and lower levels, undetected by radar, without
the mass level of capability to shoot them down. So
it's a little bit inside baseball they are. But you
can kind of you take the visual of it of
the think about it as coming in from high in
the atmosphere into low part of the atmosphere, being able

(21:44):
to defend each of the different layers.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
So we've got those. Now everybody's like, okay, well don't
we have millions and millions of those things. The fact
is is these things are not This isn't rolling off
a conveyor belt type of protection that we're that we're
looking for here.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
No, No, you're right, I didn't get to that.

Speaker 14 (22:04):
The the the belong on the tooth approach to this
is a lot of these systems take you know, months
to manufacture in some some cases years, and companies like
and we're all trying to lower that you know, supply
chain and fix that problem. But for what we have
right now, you know, given what's been deployed, and because
they need rare earth minerals, they need things that just

(22:25):
aren't readily available in a lot of cases. And then
also some of the new technology, a lot of a
lot of the things that are getting to the battlefield though,
some of the new technology from Ander all some of
these other places. As these companies are focused completely on
the air defense systems, they're going to see that that
place explode, especially that industry explode, especially with Ukraine and
Russia the same thing because they're their need for that.

(22:47):
But but it is it's a long manufacturing cycle, and
you know the kind of things that that we have.
The tell is you're seeing the United States letting Ukraine
now future manufacturer Patriot missiles. We're gonna take a lot
of these manufacturing sites to move them well off our shores.
We'll still you know, Trump will make a way to
figure out how to make money out of it. But

(23:07):
that just goes to show you that demand for these
weapon systems is going to be flying off the shelf
as soon as some of these conflicts are over.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Talking to my clients are military analysts, we're talking about
all things going on conflicts globally. So you know, one
of the things the cost of stuff, because let's be real,
we don't have It's not like that. We're just we're
we're we got so much money in savings. We don't
And you know, one of the things that's brought up
this past week, and I think it's a fair thing
to bring up. You know, shooting down a fifty thousand
dollars drone with a five million dollar missile is not

(23:34):
cost effective. What on the other side of stuff defensively
do we have in the future because you deal a
lot with you know, AI, the future drones that I
think it's important that that's kind of the future of
the warfare, which is thanks to Ukraine in a weird way,
is now.

Speaker 14 (23:50):
Yeah, you know, the future of this defense and offensive
systems is going to be directed energy. It's going to
be laser beams. I mean, Austin Power is firing laser
beams at these missiles that are coming at It's a
dangerous technology in some ways. To create the amount of
energy it's going to require in some cases making nuclear

(24:11):
small nuclear power plants, put them on some of the ships.
I think you'll see that technology go to ours cruisers
and destroyers pretty quickly because you need to generate a
significant amount of energy in order to have direct energy
technology take out drones and drones swarms. I think that's
where there's because that's very cost effective. It's a nickel,
you know, to shoot down a fifty thousand dollars drums,

(24:32):
So the economics work back in our favor. But that's
going to unleash a whole different set of potential disasters
and things that could happen, and we don't really know
what the results of that yet are. And we're still
a little bit behind in that getting that level of
energy stored on a ship or on someplace on land.

Speaker 9 (24:50):
But that's where I think you're going to see a
directed energy.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Talking to my clients milit arannels, we talk about all
things going on conflict wise, first of all, So we've
talked about all that stuff. Let's move to Trump is
you know, I think what we're going to get here,
and I've been saying it you and I've talked about it.
I think it's going to be a lot of start
stop because Trump is trying to weigh the price battle
that they know Iran is trying to play, which is

(25:14):
we can suffer longer than you guys can suffer, and
we're going to do that through the midterms and then
go from there. And in truth, I still am not
quite sure. I mean, we just kind of stopped down
the other day, and you know it's going to pick
up again. I mean, are we going to just have
stop start for the rest of the year.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (25:31):
I mean that's that's the definition of a siege, and
it's a matter of surrounding them and keeping that leverage
when we need it. But look what's happened, right, He
pauses the strikes for a couple of days, and Iran's
still saying that they're not calling, which again this is
kind of you know, crazy as well. But oil drops
one about ten eleven percent over the last few days.

(25:52):
So that's Trump's other metric. He's watching that. I think
he watches, you know, the weekend. He watches you know,
on Friday night when the market's closing. I mean, that's
kind of the level of defense detail here. Now we
haven't seen a US president do something like this, this
level of strategy or really involvement, having his fingerprints so
so involved with this. The whip song back and forth

(26:13):
is starting and stopping from the military. But if you
look at it Sentcom when they were when they we
had about I guess twelve or thirteen days of strikes.

Speaker 9 (26:20):
You know, they were moderate strikes. There were goldilocks, they weren't.

Speaker 14 (26:23):
They weren't there, you know, eleven hundred a day, epic fury,
they weren't two or three with uranies were throwing it,
you know, ondred hundred sorties, one hundred missiles, specific targets.
You know, that's that's a pace the military likes to
work at you know, it's kind of like, you know,
have your coffee fire, fire away, shut it down and
and we'll resume the next day. So again, that's where

(26:44):
the military has been set right now. And I think
Trump is uh is going to see how the Iranians
react with what happens.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
When we stop talking to my client's military analysts, we
talk about not just what's going on in the Middle East,
because now they've kind of collided, right the Ukraine side
of stuff with Russia, and you've got the Red Sea,
You've got this kind of collision course of what is
the oil world and the energy markets all kind of
now coming to a head.

Speaker 14 (27:11):
Yeah, look, Ukraine, you know you just got to bring
up the facts right away. We saw this thing about
Russia losing about fifteen hundred troops in one day yesterday
or so. I mean, that's just not sustainable. What's what's
happening there with the Ukrainians have been done with their
drone swarms and we saw a report about them hitting
Moscow hitting what is the what is the same equivalent

(27:31):
as a as a Amazon facility. I mean again, their
ability to reach into Russia now is just almost unfettered,
and you know, the whole Russian air defense system we
are always afraid of.

Speaker 9 (27:44):
And that's no barrier for them anymore.

Speaker 14 (27:47):
But it all is colliding, no question, and the and
the technology that the Ukrainians are brought to the table,
and I know we're working with them on our side
on the AI they like we talked about, they really
they innovate almost weekly.

Speaker 9 (27:58):
And I just.

Speaker 14 (27:59):
Don't know how continues to sustain this with fifteen hundred
losses a day.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, how do you know you said before we came
on that you were eating and talking to people, said
that he wants to keep this going for three years.
You can't lose a thousand people a day, five thousand
people a week. Let's just say we'll even say like
eight hundred people there, So give or take. You can't
lose that many people and do that for another three
years and think that some way, shape or form, Pooter,

(28:23):
you're walking out the back end of this vine.

Speaker 14 (28:25):
Yeah, you know, the Moscow Times had that report. I
picked it up and then said they're talking about potentially
imposing martial law in Russia because of that, because you know,
literally young men are just being grabbed off the streets,
thrown in vans, and forty hours later there in Ukraine,
and forty eight hours later they're dead. I mean, it's
just that's the cycle that's taking place right now. The
only advantage Russia has is eleven time zones and the

(28:48):
fact that the communication doesn't always get to the eastern
part of the country and people don't know what's going
on there.

Speaker 9 (28:55):
But I just don't know. You're right, I don't know
how he does it. I don't know how he does
it for three years.

Speaker 14 (28:58):
The only thing I can think of is he still
thinks that the United States won't necessarily support Ukraine in
the long term. They'll give him some kind of deal,
They'll give him some way out of this. Looks like
the US is also decreasing its yearly commitment, almost about
sixty million dollars a year at this point. So maybe
Putin's reading that is America is not really into this

(29:21):
still at this point, and he can he can take
the three years and figure this out.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
You know, you've got Zelensky here today, You've got the
likes of BB here for the umpteen time. He might
as well rent an apartment. He's here so much. What
are you expecting out of this because BB is is
Israel's been quiet but pushing. They obviously want to keep
this thing going on. And you know, for Zelensky, what

(29:46):
do you think Zelenski's gonna add any of this?

Speaker 14 (29:49):
Yeah, I think so. You saw another thing was Zolensky.
I think he just replaced his top commander and defense minister.
So usually doing that, I think he to really close
his circle here to think that if we're going to
have some kind of agreement there, he's got to make
sure that everyone's on the same side.

Speaker 9 (30:08):
Usually and when when when the.

Speaker 14 (30:10):
President of a country does that, that's kind of what
that means that maybe the next step that's coming here.
He's turned out to be this wartime president. He's turned
out to be the Winston Churchill, the you know, the
when you think about it, you know, he was mocked
initially for that being the actor. But he's acted ruthlessly
to make sure that his country survives this. And so

(30:31):
I think that that's what that's what you're going to
see here, and him if he gets aligned with BB
and Trump and the three of them, and that they
can get in a room and figure out some deal
to stop you know that that conflict in particular, that'd
be pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
It would be pretty amazing. Same as Mike clients military
as best and militarily analysts in the business, retired major.
Appreciate you coming on, brother, and we'll do it again
next week.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
Thanks Jet, Thanks for having me man.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
I love talking to Miked, that guy again. And some
of you have chimed in, why don't you talk about
the nuclear weapons and pushback. He does the military aspect.
I do the politics of it all, and he talked
a bit about the start stop kind of thing. But
interesting to hear him talk about what missiles we have,
what we don't have, how they work, because I think

(31:15):
that's important. And also, now could there be some sort
of weird, you know, kind of bringing together of Zelenski
and peb and stuff to force Russia to do one
thing that may force Ron. We'll see we again. This
stuff is minute by minute, and you know, this time
tomorrow we could talk about the fact that we are

(31:36):
done with negotiation guns and bombing them again, or we
could have come to a deal. That's the way this
thing works. And it is crazy relief factor, not crazy,
but amazing. You should try it for yourself. I have,
so is Chris Chris Listeners Show. Chris had issues with
aches and pains and his joints, but in particular his
ankles and feet. Started taking Relief Factor, and boy did

(32:00):
it work. It worked to the point where he went

I just ran a half marathon. Why because of really Factor.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Like, yeah, so what, it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Nature will mess you up. It is shark week and
we had a bite over the weekend. And when I
say bite, I'm going to say that, well, you know what,
let's just let's hear from the man who got bit.

Speaker 9 (33:30):
It was pretty scary.

Speaker 15 (33:33):
It was like a kind of a shock towards me.

Speaker 16 (33:35):
Decorey Hei says he and his pregnant fiance were in
shallow water in Daytona Beach when he felt something sharp
on his left leg.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (33:44):
I realized why it was in sharp because the way
it bit down on my foot.

Speaker 17 (33:47):
In that moment of adrenaline, Hei says his main focus
was getting his pregnant fiance to safety when.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
The waves came.

Speaker 15 (33:55):
That's when they got to ways d and then that's
when it yanked my leg and I had to push
my pregnant fiance towards the shore to get her out
of the way.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
So you got bit on the foot. So I went
and I'm like, oh my god, how bad was it? Right?
Because in the hospital and they showed it and I
said to myselfself, I don't even think I would have
went to hospital for that. I'd have been like, well,
we got a story, just move on. I would have
been more worried in Daytona Beach that you stepped on

(34:28):
a syringe than that. And I know it sounds awful
and I shouldn't be laughing, and I know nature will
mess you up and everybody's fine. But if you don't
get stitches, should it count as being bit.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I says it was in a fight between him and
the shark.

Speaker 15 (34:47):
And that's when it got me in. Then it came
up and tried to get my arm, so I had
to push it away from me, and then I ran
and they tried to get.

Speaker 7 (34:54):
My other leg.

Speaker 15 (34:54):
It was like gray on top, but I put when
I pushed it off of me, it was about this
same size as my leg, into my waist to my
my foot.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna go with this.
If you don't get stitches, it doesn't count. Sorry, it doesn't.
I know it bit you, but it could have been
a mackerel. Ah Chad. By the way, it is Shark
Week tonight, Shark Week, Jurassic sharks, Jaws versus Orca and
chum Island catching a Killer. That's all tonight because I

(35:27):
have been coming home and watching my shark stuff every day,
and I'll be doing it again later on today. Love
hearing from all of you. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is

other good things right here on the Chad Benson Show.

We'll talk about that as well. If youre missing any show,
grab the podcast our number two straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
How's your stomach? Is it feeling queazy? Is it because
of the thing? Yeah, it's growing again. The cyclosploriah you
know what it is. It's mon Azumer's revenge kind of
thing that we're talking about here. It's growing again. People.
We want to make sure that you're safe because talking
to my son's mom last night, and she says, I

(37:17):
think I got it. I said, oh, oh, oh oh,
And I said, you know where, this doesn't happen with twinkies.
It doesn't happen with twinkies.

Speaker 18 (37:26):
With many Americans already concerned and even changing what they eat,
this morning, cyclospora infections are surging yet again, Michigan reporting
more than nine thousand cases in that state alone.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Just when I start to think that I'm getting better,
my symptoms come back.

Speaker 18 (37:42):
The spike coming is the FDA and CDC keep looking
into a major nine state cyclospora outbreak, which authorities have
connected to Taylor Farms, Iceberg lettuce sold at Taco Bell.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yes, now, I vida Taco Bell, as you guys well know.
Documented I am there to give Taco Bell love, but
I don't get lettuce because what I get is bean
and cheese burritos and the Mexican pizza every once in
a while. But I don't even get tomatoes on it.
I'm staying away from the produce world. Not the only one.
But you got to pay attention, guys. Okay, it's a parasite,

(38:17):
so it's a virus. It's a paras site.

Speaker 18 (38:20):
Right now, it's not clear how many of the new
cases are part of that cluster, but Michigan is the
outbreaks epicenter. Taylor Farms voluntarily recalled the lettuce in question
extra saucy, and Taco Bell says it pulls the affected
ingredient from its supply chat, but new data suggests Taco
Bell business is still taking a hit, recently experiencing a

(38:41):
roughly thirty percent dropping visits from a typical Friday.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I just try to stay away from many fast food
restaurants now. Last weekend, when it first came out that
Taco Bell may be involved, I am not. I could
have pretend that when I pulled up the Taco Bell
I was waiting in a long line, because it wasn't.
There was nobody there. It was just me. I think
I had to wake them up. I'm like hello, They're
like what Sunday, though, people are like, well, I'm going

(39:09):
to go back to Taco Bell, which is rather interesting
that they are. But the other weird thing is, I
want you guys understand. Do you know how they got
the information of thirty percent drop phone data and foot
traffic through the phone data is how they knew there
was a drop in people going to Taco Bell. I

(39:29):
digress them, we get back to it. Stay away from
fruits and vegetables right now. Best thing. I just I
don't know what else there is to say. I've been
telling you guys just for the year, fruits and vegetables
are evil. No, all kidding aside. I like a salad.
I know it sounds weird. You're like, well you do.
I do. But I get a lot of those prepackaged
salad because I'm always kind of on the go. And

(39:50):
I had to throw mine away because they weren't from
tailor farms, and so I threw mine away, went in doubt,
throw it out, And no, I don't want to cook
my lettuce.

Speaker 18 (40:00):
According to a new survey, four and ten Americans say
they are now buying or eating less produce because of
the cyclospora outbreak.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
We've been skipping eating any definitely iceberg.

Speaker 19 (40:11):
We haven't had any romain either actually, and any greens
that we're having we're cooking.

Speaker 18 (40:16):
Some consumers may keep looking for those products, specifically from
local farmers' markets.

Speaker 20 (40:21):
We had one hundred and fifty eight heads of romaine
last week. We were sold out within two days, and
yesterday between thirty and forty and we were sold out
ten minutes before the market started.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, I could see that. I'm just I'm playing it
safe because the issue is where does it come from? Like,
where is this coming from? I don't know. I think
anybody knows where it's coming from. I don't. I mean,
we know it's from Mexico, But where is it coming from?
So is it coming from the water? Is it coming
from the processing it? I mean, where exactly is and

(40:55):
what is the pinpoint? Is it just these two places
Walmart and Taco Bell or it seems like it's a
lot more than that. That's all I'm saying, guys. I
just want to keep us all safe and you know,
maybe buy less toilet paper.

Speaker 21 (41:09):
I think that consumers they really want to know what's
in their food supply.

Speaker 18 (41:13):
Dan Bruner is co founder of Market Wagon in online
farmers market and food delivery business serving much of the country.
He says they've seen a fifty six percent search and
new customers amid the cyclospora outbreak.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
The food is coming from one place.

Speaker 21 (41:28):
It's not being mixed in a central aggregation facility and
chopped up and put into bags there, so it would
let us in particular, I think that's a big win
for the consumer to have that confidence.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
And that's why we want confidence in our food. That's simple.
That's simple, and so I'm just saying, err, on the
side of caution, win in doubt, throw it out and
live if you will, to not have explosive diarrhea for
another day. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your Act,

(42:00):
your Insta, your YouTube, We're following what's going on in Japan.
There was a massive earthquake in Japan, including a mall collapsing.
Many people they say are trapped inside of it, don't
know how many. At least one report has fifty plus
people injured. Several people on a high speed train as

(42:22):
well have been injured. So more tremors and the worry,
of course, of tsunamis. But we'll be talking about that,
I'm sure, because like everything else, I mean, we just
that Venice Well on earthquake.

Speaker 7 (42:34):
Gas.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Do you guys remember that the Venice Well on earthquake. Yeah,
that's kind of out of side, out of mind. We've
moved on from that. Yet. What we do know is
in that earthquake, declared dead fifty five one hundred, almost
seventeen thousand injured, but there is still twenty nine thousand

(42:57):
plus people that have not been declared dead, but their
whereabouts still remain unknown. So that pushes it closer to
about thirty five to forty thousand, give or take. So
nature doing what nature does, and unfortunately did it today

(43:19):
in Japan. We moved from there to more of chaos
and craziness. Yes, I'm talking about Iran and what is
going on there today. The White House get in a visit.

Speaker 16 (43:30):
President Trump is set to host back to back meetings
with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Zelenski. It
will be Trump's first face to face meeting with Netanyah,
who since the Iran War began exactly five months ago.
The White House originally predicted the war would only last
a matter of weeks. With the war now entering a
six month, there's a fragile pause in the fighting. President

(43:53):
Trump insists friendly talks with Iran are ongoing.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I don't know how real that is or isn't on
friendly talks who are even negotiating with because the reality
is is Irgc kind of runs everything. And then you've
got the political side of stuff. I mean, I don't know.
What I do know though, is they are colliding the
wars because of not just the Straits of horror moves,

(44:19):
but now you've got the Red Sea and it's getting
to the point where there's a lot of serious, serious
implications coming out of everything. And then you've got both
Russia and China helping out Iran. I mean, this is
getting to be really it feels like it's tentacles are

(44:42):
spreading all over the place. And then of course you've
got what's going on here with prices, because you know,
we as I went off last hour, you know, was
it Mark Tisa comes out because you can't afford four
dollars gains what kind of a miracle or whatever stupid
thing he said that I want to replace because he's
an idiot, But you know, reality and road they've collided.

(45:06):
The average person wasn't thinking about Iran. They weren't going
to bed at night going oh god, if only we
could get the IRGC to come and have a moment
where they'd realize that we don't need to have a
nuclear weapon, and you should talk to the Ayatola home.
They need to electric boogloo a weeks Oh jeez, nobody
was thinking that. Yesterday, Trump out giving speeches right talking

(45:28):
about how great everything is.

Speaker 17 (45:29):
He told a crowd of supporters in Michigan that things
are looking good when you think about prices, when you
think about jobs. He defended his tariffs, his overall policies
of trying to boost manufacturing. But it isn't always what
the data is showing, and it's not always what people
are saying about the economy. Right now, we know that
prices have been going up, inflation has been going in

(45:53):
the wrong direction, largely because of the spike and oil
prices from the Iran war.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Yes, yes, and is it doom and gloom. It's it's
not doom and gloom. But reality is it's not great.
It's a no fire, no hire in a lot of places,
which also means you've got stagnant wages in a lot
of places, and you know, the manufacturing side of stuff.

(46:22):
He can sit here and talk about all the tariffs
and all of that stuff all day. It's like, other
tariffs are great, it's been great for ref But in truth,
go look at the job numbers. Manufacturing is down under him,
so it's not helping. And you can say it's all
of the things like how great everything is. That is

(46:43):
fine if you live in a world where your wage
growth is outpacing inflation. The average person, that's not happening,
and they're frustrated, and they have your right to be frustrated.
And the poles are telling people something that they know
because they're living it, but they're telling people that are

(47:04):
in the administration, Hey, yeah, you're missing out here.

Speaker 17 (47:08):
This was a speech to his supporter as trying to
make the case that his policies are working at a
time that we see in poll after pull Americans say
that this economy is not working with them, that they
are not better off financially than they were before the
president took office, and that his economic approval ratings are
near an all time low.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Yes, as goes the economy, so goes your presidency, your administration,
your everything, your house, and your Senate, your Congress, as
goes the economy. When you have money, you have peace

(47:47):
of mind, and peace of mind will allow you to
grin and bear some of the promises that didn't come
to fruition. When you are seeing money not go as
far and you're falling behind, stress comes in and the
next thing you know, one broken promise after another, one

(48:11):
lie told after another. People start to go, yeah, I'm
not happy with this. We'll see, we'll see what happens.
Coming up. A lot of stuff talk about still, including
the flock camera debate and what else could be out
there that could be spying on us. Oh my god,

Speaker 2 (49:53):
You guys know you reach out to me across all
my social media. I love hearing from all of you,
and when you here's the number I give out three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three. That is a text
line or a voice line where you can leave a voicemail.

Speaker 11 (50:13):
Maybe it's just me, but all I see going up
is beef in gasoline.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
And I can avoid the beef.

Speaker 11 (50:24):
I can't avoid the gasoline, but I do limit my
travels somewhat. But everything else, man, I don't buy three
daughter drinks at convenience stores. My Gatorade that I drink
here in the heat and here while I'm working outside,
is the powder I mix myself with bottled water. So
I'm paying about I think it's sixty cents a drink,

(50:48):
and I consume about, I don't know, anywhere from six
to nine depending on the day. Not a gatorade, but
water in gatorade. But everything else, man, I mean other
things that we stay that we buy at the grocery
store week to week. You know, we really haven't seen
an increase in much of that. But and we've even

(51:09):
seen a lot of price is cut on some items
we buy. So maybe we're just lucky.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (51:16):
Fuel prices will drive them up eventually. That's what we
got to get under under control, so you know, and
we've got to stop spending two trillion budget deficits this
year alone. It's unacceptable. And I'm a Trump fan. Loved Trump,
y'all know that have a great day, and.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
I love the fact at the end though he did
throw in the oh, by the way, we need to
stop spending. You know, you guys listen here every week
we have Jim Kennedy on. Kennedy is hardcore conservative, salt
of the earth, amazing guy. But he's not an idiot.
He's a smart, smart cat. So I love Jim. It's funny.

(51:55):
Jim says, biggest disappointments in the way that we've dealt
with our giant, huge debt problem that is growing, that
is going to become more of a problem in the future.
And as far as you know, look, if you love Trump,
you're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt

(52:16):
that this is going to work out okay, even if
it hurts you in the pocketbook three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, x, instat
YouTube and everything else right here on the Jad Benson Show.
Because your love of Trump will override anything that's going
against you because that is the identity that you've built.

(52:38):
So even if it hurts you, you're okay with it.
For the average person who doesn't think that much about politics,
they're not thrilled by this, and it is understandable. What
do you think? Are you seeing prices go up? Because
I know I have, But that's just me. Maybe I'm
maybe I'm the outlier here, let me know. Meanwhile, yesterday
and ido surprising news, Brian Coburger, the Idaho killer, has said,

(53:03):
hold on a second, he was coerced into confessing.

Speaker 22 (53:07):
The New York Times reporting that the former PhD criminology
student now claims in a new interview with the paper
that he was misled into confessing.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?

Speaker 7 (53:17):
Yes.

Speaker 22 (53:18):
For nearly three years, the case gripped this country. Until
weeks before the trial, Coburger admitted to killing each victim
to avoid the death penalty.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Now he says, eh, he was coerced. He was talked
into it. Apparently, according to him, there's some new evidence
there was a hair that was not tested. That is,
he is saying that his defense team told him it's
not about whether or not you did or didn't do it.
This is about saving your life. He also alleges that

(53:50):
they exaggerated conditions of death row and that they withheld
favorable evidence. Now do I think that this is going
to change anything. I do not. He waived his ordinary
appeal rights. I don't think anything is going to come
out of this. The bar is very, very high for

(54:11):
manifest injustice. I'm going to go with no denied. That's
just me. What do you think? Let me know, Love

Several people have texted because we talked about Fauci last hour,
and I said about Fauci that we're going to hear
a lot of stuff tomorrow in his Senate hearing. But

(55:09):
it isn't going to do anything because it's political. It's
more about the sound bites. And yes, the releasing of
his diaries or whatever it was. His diaries it makes
seem like he'sa It's like a twelve year old girl
and I'm sitting there and I think it just so handsome.

(55:29):
But by releasing some of these things, yeah, we get
some insight, But in the reality of anything coming out
of this, changing anything, if you believe that this was
all natural and that Fauci is a hero, you still
believe that. If you believe that he was a part

(55:50):
of some grand conspiracy, I still believe that. Where do
I fall? I believe he was a human being that
caught up in something, enjoyed the fame. He knew it
came from a lab it came and this is what
I've told people, It didn't come from a lab. It
was screwed within a lab. They got it from nature,

(56:13):
and they aft with it in the lab, and then
it got out from there, and then he tried to
see why I himself. That's always been my belief. I
think that's just common sense. Maybe I'm wrong, But do
I think that anything's going to come out of it
in any real way where you know, Because what COVID

(56:34):
did is fundamentally changed a lot of things in our world,
and as a I don't want to say a moment
in time, because it was long longer than a moment.
But as an event, my god, as a freaking event.
My kids had to stay home from school. My little brothers,

(56:58):
who were my nephews that have been a dim did
they had to stay home their special needs. It put
them further behind than you can believe. The only reason
my son Jack was fortunate enough to get back to
school earlier is because he was going to a STEM school.
That two things. First, they were way ahead of the game.
They started building apps the minute school closed to get

(57:21):
everything ready. And secondly, and I'm going to say this
Jack school that he went to, and this is when
he was in what seventh grade, sixth grade something like that,
that school was not only ahead of the game, as
we pointed out, but the parents there they didn't do
the politics, they didn't do pronouns, they didn't do any

(57:41):
of the stuff. It was a STEM school and they
wanted it to be just about that, and so they
forced the hands of the teachers. But for my kids,
they stayed home. They stayed home. I actually had my

(58:02):
little brothers and my kids out of my house in
Arizona for several months because Arizona was in California, and
the kids could go do things and nobody was gonna
tell you you better put a matsk on it, don't
go outdoors. You know. That was just insane, absolutely insane.
So yeah, more than a moment. It had an impact,

(58:25):
there's no doubt. And it had an impact too, just
for much from him as well as the States. But
once it became political, everybody lost their freaking mind. Everybody
lost their mind. It's unfortunate, and tomorrow will be more
about politics than actual truth, which is unfortunate, but the

(58:46):
reality of the world that we live in today. Meanwhile,
speaking of politics, this is amazing. Flock cameras. Not a fan,
you guys know that, not because I don't think there
is some good in them, of course, but because the
bad outweighs anything good that comes from it. And the

(59:09):
reason is they're going to be abused. And we know
that government doesn't know how to do something without getting
on a slippery slope and going down that slope head first.
So as we sit here and talk about where I
was during the pandemic, this is a Cassa grand or
Casa grande meeting about the flock cameras. So here it

(59:33):
is right, it's one of these town hall meetings, right,
come on up, speak, get it out. This guy is
like he's done with it and I love what he
does here in the valley of the dirt people.

Speaker 23 (59:46):
Uh, good evening. I hope you guys have been having
a great summer. I know I have. I've spent the
last several months talking to people all over Casa Grande,
and one thing.

Speaker 7 (59:55):
Keeps coming up.

Speaker 23 (59:57):
Safety. So today I'm excited to anno a new company
called Shepherd Safety. Our mission is simple, keep government officials
and their families safe. We're launching satellites to watch over
Costs of Grande day and night. Our ai will monitor
where government officials go, where they stop, who they meet with,

(01:00:17):
and when they return home. We've already started collecting and
building profiles on your vehicles, spouse's vehicles, children's vehicles, and
other visual characteristics.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
So what he's doing is like, Hey, you guys are
going to watch us. It's best that we watch you
as well, because we don't want you guys to be
in a situation where you don't feel safe. So let
us both watch each other. Let's see how that works.

Speaker 23 (01:00:44):
We'll combine that information with publicly available data, bluetooth signals,
advertising IDs, vehicle information, commercial data sources, so our authorized
users can replay the movements of every government official and
their immediate family. There's no difference than the current flock
safety capture systems. Everything will be stored securely and only

(01:01:07):
authorized users will have access. Local businesses will be invited
to join our networks, so government officials can continue being
protected while shopping, eating, or traveling throughout the city. Some
of you might think this sounds invasive, but and you
may worry about abuse, You may worry about unauthorized access

(01:01:28):
tracking innocent people. We understand those concerns. After all, those
are the exact same concerns of all the citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
I love it. I love it again, tongue in cheek,
but putting it back at him. And what we want
to say is about safety and it does do some good.
The reality is we are giving up our freedoms by
choice when we click on something. But when it comes

(01:01:59):
to this, this is not by choice, and this is
not a situation. This is everyday movement of people, every
day people being spied upon, and it's going to get worse.
Case in points, Silicon Valley now has something going on
which is if you thought RoboCop that can't happen, Oh
it's happening.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
Get ready everybody to see more security robots like this
one one of many here at Nightscope in Silicon Valley,
where teams are constantly working to improve the autonomous security
systems that are already deployed all over the country. These

(01:02:37):
are just some of the robots that can be part
of an autonomous force. Since there's constant property crime violent
crime every thirty seconds in the US, this company has
a mission to make America the safest country in the world.
It means a future with less crime, less fear of
becoming a victim when going out, since technology conservice NonStop

(01:03:01):
eyes and ears for security teams and law enforcement. The
strategy involves a combination of AI, robots and humans enhanced
by added layers of autonomous detection, human speed, instinct, and
much more.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Well, we know nothing could go wrong. We should go
find out how exactly this thing played out when they
put it to the test.

Speaker 12 (01:03:25):
Use your gun in a threatening matter.

Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
Excuse put down your whipper. You have forty seconds to comply.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
I think you'd better do what he says, Kenny.

Speaker 7 (01:03:36):
You know how fifteen required.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Oh, Chad, that was from RoboCop. I'm just saying you're
worried about the old flock cameras. We've got the way
mos out there, We've got all the other stuff that's
taking pictures of everything. But then you've got now the
flock cameras.

Speaker 24 (01:04:17):
And now this the most powerful combination hardware plus software
plus humans. And if you can get that orchestrated to
work properly, you get the machines and the algorithms to
do the monotonous, computationally heavy and sometimes dangerous work. You
get the humans to do the enforcement and the decision making.
This is what the future is going to hold, is

(01:04:38):
that we need to build the nation's first autonomous security
force so we can actually live the full American dream.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Oh nothing, and I mean nothing could go wrong, right,
I mean we all own this. Now.

Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
Part of the new force is the night Scope K
seven unit. It can autonomously and continuously secure perimeter of
large environments like corporate campuses, farms, or even the border.
The K seven can recharge itself and run every hour
of every day. Now, Nightscope has a goal of deploying

(01:05:14):
a million machines across the country someday and Nicole. It's
not about replacing humans. It's about enhancing the work of
humans to be more effective in preventing and dealing with crime.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Yeah, by the way, night is spelled K and IGHD
just in case you want to know that the Night
is coming to town. Has anybody ever ever seen a movie? Anybody?
I'm curious about any of this because I feel like
nobody has just insane. I mean, to me, I find

(01:05:52):
it to be. And I'm not saying that we don't
use AI and a mixture of stuff. It is this.
First of all, they're selling it to us in a
way where it's always about our safety. I get it.
And that's the way you do it, especially with the kids,
whenever they talk about flock cameras, Like, did you guys

(01:06:15):
hear we were able to retrieve a child who was kidnapped? Like, oh, good, good,
good good, And that is good. But along the way,
you guys never bring up we made a mistake over
here and we arrested a guy because we said that
his car was you know, involved in a crime. Oh wait,
that happened, But you guys never talk about it, No,

(01:06:38):
you don't. And then on the other like aspect of
it take away the issues that may happen with misidentification
when everyone call it, you know, what about the information?
Where does it go? Who gets it, who gets to
participate in it? Why can't we see it? Why are
you tracking certain cars? Who has act says to it?

(01:07:01):
I mean, these are all very real questions that need
to be asked because that is your data, and if
they're following your movements, and by the way, think about
the abuses that can happen. Both the right and the
left don't trust each other. So could this be used
by the right? What it is being used by the right?

(01:07:23):
Looking at cameras finding out who's going to some of
these protests and are they violent offenders? Well, they're violent offenders,
that is one thing, But the fact is that they've
gone and gone after a lot of people the left
done the same thing. Who's at some of these, you know,
protests for pro life? So both of them don't trust
each other. Both of them are worried about what's going

(01:07:44):
to happen in the future with this. On top of
just the average person who believes in their liberties. They're
going to sell these things to you as it's always
about safety and we're all about safety. We believe it too,
but we're also about personal responsibility as well. And no,
I don't trust. I don't trust. But these things aren't

(01:08:06):
going anywhere. The future is here, and there's a ton
of money involved. And because there's a ton of money involved,
the reality is, if you think these things are going anywhere,
you and I both know that's not true. We've got
to fight it though, got to push back. Let me
know what you think. I love hearing from all of you.
Speaking of data in Cogne wants to make your data

(01:08:27):
doesn't go from somewhere like that to a data broker
who then sells it to somebody who anybody who wants it. Oh,
that's what can happen with your data. Your data is
out there. I'm talking to you. Guys, are listening right now.
Guess what your data is out there right now, in
the hands of you don't know. Data brokers have to

(01:08:47):
get rid of your data when requested. The issue is
they make it virtually impossible for you and I the
average person do it. That's where cognate comes in. They
don't take no for an answer and they get it
done and they're amazing. They've gotten me off hundreds of
data broker sites. So you know what that means. Less
spam calls, yeah, text messages, not getting any of that stuff.

(01:09:09):
Oh and what about the lunacy of phishing and all
these kind of things that are going on in the emails?
Less less, less, more safety for me and my family.
So that's what I want you to do. Try and Cogney,
You're not gonna be disappointed. They're amazing for this little
seven dollars a month to get protect you and your family.
When it comes to the data, precious information that you
should control. So getting Cogni now, start protecting your data

(01:09:32):
because if they can't find your information, it makes it
wh lot harder for them to scam you. In Cogni
dot com, slash Benson, I c O g NI dot
com slash Benson sixty percent saving right there. In cognate
dot com slash Benson saved just sixty percent when you
use code Benz and Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Running with scissors sounds great.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Compare to this, say, today's urban word is got a
little bit of the politics involved in it, which is interesting.
And I was reading an article yesterday and this word
came up several times and I was talking to my
buddy and they were kind of looking at me, like,
what what does that even mean? I thought, like a
little teaching moment right here, knowl.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
It's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day. All right, your urban word of the day.
Like I said, it came up Yesterday'm reading an article
about I'm doing some you know, pre show stuff that
I'm going to do some stuff in the future about.

(01:10:47):
And as I'm studying this, they saw the headline. They said,
what the hell does edgelord mean? That sounds like, you know,
is that like I said, is now? Is that it's
not sexual anything like that. You'll whack a doo an
edge lord if you will use this in the context
of these young groups trying to take over the political parties.
It's an internet slang that came about and someone who

(01:11:08):
tries to look way too hard to be dark, deep
or shocking, so they post dark and offensive jokes, fake nihilism,
acting like nothing matters and everything is pointless to try
to look tough kind of you know, you'll get that
with the groypers and people like that. So I just
think it's hilarious. So edge Lord, when you hear that,
you're gonna go, oh, I know what that is. And

(01:11:29):
it's not as real as you think it is. But
it's dangerous but not really urban word of today.

Speaker 7 (01:11:34):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Now you know it's all about the edge lord. It's
the edge lord, so stupid. Oh you find that, you know,
the nihilism, blackpilled stuff of that nature that you'll see
a lot of, you know, the manisphere type of anger

(01:12:01):
going against the system. But a lot of it is
more rage bait than joy bait, as we learned yesterday. Okay,
now we know a little something right there three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
and as your ex your Insta, your YouTube, and all
the other good things right here on the Chad Benson Show,
coming up hour number three. We didn't get to it

(01:12:22):
this hour. We will get to it next hour. The
grocery store in New York City, as prices go off elsewhere,
New York City is gonna combat them, as Mandani's come
up with something. And along that note, we'll talk about
the dssay, the Democratics Socialist of America. Are they really

(01:12:43):
wacka doos? Do they have a chance? Are they making noise?
Talk a bit about that as well as well as immigration,
a bunch of other stuff about Iran. We got your
what's trending? Mikelent's gonna join the program. My goodness me
that hour. We're gonna fit three hours into that hour
because it is our three hour three Yes, right, d
This is Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Both parties have issues. I read this great article today,
the Anatomy of a Takeover, and it walks through the
six political steps of essentially surrendering. So stage one and
they go through this on the Republican side and they

(01:13:55):
talk about how it's happening now on the Democrats' side.
Stage one recoil denounce by name. Lindsey Graham called what
Trumpet kook unfit for office. Ted Cruz called him a
pathological liar. That was in twenty sixteen. Both defend him,
as we know, well did one of them does now
the other one not so much. Squint that is what

(01:14:18):
they call the support without looking haven't seen the tweet. Okay,
So like I didn't hear what he had to say.
Now you know that kind of hole. Uh what did
he say?

Speaker 8 (01:14:30):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
I didn't hear it. Stage three rationalize, This is the
yes butt stage. I love the style, but the judges,
the tax cuts, the border, He's a fighter. Stage four
submit descent becomes career ending House of Republican leaders. Kevin McCarthy. Bye, right,

(01:14:51):
he's gone. Just if you don't submit your descent and
you go again, as we've seen, is going to be
your undoing in the job that you have. Stage five amplify,
fully adopt the vocabulary of the style, maximal claims. Try
to out Trump Trump after privately calling Trump America's hitler

(01:15:13):
in twenty sixteen, we know JD. Vance is now the
vice president, and Stage six purge. Actively work to oust
anyone who disagrees with you, either fully accept or amplify
or get exiled. Jeff Lake, Bob Corker, Liz Cheney, Cassidy.
This term Tom tillis John Cornyn. Right, So we can

(01:15:35):
go on and on and on and on. Even if
you vote for him ninety nine percent of the time,
it don't matter. Now with this being said, we move
to the left because the left is having their issue,
and in fact, the left is having their issue to
the point where there's a company along with who does

(01:15:58):
these big studies called Oath Vote, who has went and
done a study on what's going on with the left
and is the left facing the same thing the right
is facing and lo and behold they are. They are

(01:16:20):
so whacky. Is now running the left in a lot
of ways, partially because of Mandani and because Mandonni is charismatic.
He is, I mean, the guy just gets it. He's
great in front of the camera and so but it's
not just him. I mean he's promoting some wackadoos, including

(01:16:43):
his chief of staff, who is she's just straight up communist,
I mean straight out communists. So it's not just the
right that has issues. And we know the right has
plenty of issues in the Battle of MAGA, but the
left with the dsay, that's the Democratic Socialists of America.
This is the head of the DSA being asked questions
by I think Shannon Breen on Fox about you know

(01:17:06):
these things like do you want to get rid of
these things?

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
I'm gonna want to ask you just give me sort
of a true false on these. Abolish the Senate, true okay,
replace the Presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.

Speaker 7 (01:17:22):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Abolish ice.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
Absolutely, abolish borders, and give amnesty to anyone currently in
the US illegally.

Speaker 22 (01:17:32):
As a long term plan.

Speaker 7 (01:17:33):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:17:34):
Defund the Pentagon. Absolutely, abolish prisons, at least in large part.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:17:43):
Again, as part of a long term program.

Speaker 11 (01:17:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:46):
Okay, So no prisons, government or public ownership of most
large corporations.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
Yeah, absolutely, because that's what sane people think we should do.
So no borders, no, no prisons. Right, government's gonna own stuff.
I mean, we can go on and on about the
insanity of this, but that is what's happening. The DSA

(01:18:13):
is pushing, pushing, pushing, and dominating the conversation. Not the vote,
but the conversation, and that's where it matters, the conversation.
Earlier today, John Fetterman was asked about all of this
kind of stuff, and Fetterman, as we all know, is

(01:18:34):
on the outs and the Democrat Party because he sees
the lunacy that's coming.

Speaker 7 (01:18:39):
I agree, that's my point. It's like I said that
on my own socials.

Speaker 25 (01:18:43):
I'm like, this is not a big tent kind of
like well, you know, like you know, abolished prisons, abolish
the border, abolish the presidency, abolish the Pentagon. I mean,
these are crazy people, and now they are electing people
across our country, you know, Colorado, even in my own state,

(01:19:03):
definitely in New York City right now, and some of
those people like Mendani are doing dangerous thing. Could you
imagine if I just announced that that, you know, I'm
going to arrest so so and so in Pennsylvania or
you're not welcome here in my state?

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Is spot on? He's spot on, And like I said, Madonnie,
the media loves him because he gives great media. He
gives great quotes, He's good in front of the camera.
That's why they love him. Plus it's great too because
he's become very much somebody who pushes back on Trump

(01:19:43):
in a way where there's a lot of similarities, not
so much in the beliefs but in how they do things.
So his charismaticness, if you will, has propelled the wackiness.
But we're going to get rid of of just everything.
So what are we going to be out of curiosity?

(01:20:05):
How are you going to pay for stuff? Out of curiosity, continue, sir.

Speaker 25 (01:20:08):
You know, he's a clown. And now he's putting the
list of people that owns homes in New York. You know,
don't put people on lists. They haven't done anything wrong,
and they're behaving in truly bizarre ways. And that seems
like what the DSA wants more and more. And now,
why aren't more Democrats, isn't it. It's incumbent on us

(01:20:31):
Republican and Democrats side to police your own ranks. So
that's why I'm willing to do and reminding people. Yeah,
the filibuster, you know, wasn't that long. We wanted to
kill it, and now we're so grateful that it is
still here right now, and the people that had the
courage to stand up and say that we're punished and now.

Speaker 9 (01:20:53):
They're not with us anymore.

Speaker 7 (01:20:54):
Politically.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Yeah, talking about mansion and Kirsten Cinema so very interesting.
But he's right, and there's all kinds of issues that
need to be dealt with. There's no doubt that there
are a lot of problems that we as a nation
have to face, but our problems are minimal compared to
a lot of the rest of the world. And it's
only privilege that runs at bad ideas like this, It

(01:21:20):
is only privilege. Yesterday, speaking of Mandani, went out to
talk about his grocery stores.

Speaker 10 (01:21:27):
In the wealthiest city, in the wealthiest country in the
history of the world, no New Yorker should have to
worry about being able to afford to feed their family.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
I agree. I don't think you know. I don't think
any of us are disagreeing on that continues.

Speaker 10 (01:21:42):
Sir, I am proud to announce a collection of essential
staples that will be predictably thirty percent cheaper at all
five of our city run grocery stores.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
So thirty percent cheaper at all five, tell us more
about this magic that you have.

Speaker 10 (01:22:00):
Once a month, our five city run grocery stores will
set prices for this core set of goods at thirty
percent below typical retail prices, no exceptions, no gimmicks. The
savings will last for the entire month.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Okay, so the savings last for no no gimmicks. The
savings last for the entire month on certain products and
will break those down.

Speaker 10 (01:22:20):
Thirty percent off adds up to real money for New Yorkers,
with an estimated ninety dollars saved on grocery bills each month.
That is more than one thousand dollars saved every year,
and just as important as money, those savings add up
to time. For many, that thirty percent discount is the
difference between an evening spent around the dinner table with
family or working another double shift to make ends meet.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Okay, so how exactly are you going to do this? Well,
first of all, there's no real plan as far as
they valocated seventy million in capital to spend to create
five municipal grocery stores, one in each borough. So the
city's going to own or control the storefronts. They're going
to eat the major retail costs, including the rent and

(01:23:06):
property tax exposure. Just out of curiosity, who's going to
be covering all of this? Is the money to date
make money? Is it magic? No, it's not. It's taxpayer money.
So private grocery stores are going to bid then to
come in to operate the stores. They're going to be
handling everything, employees, inventory, security, daily management. The goal is

(01:23:28):
to do direct sourcing, bulk purchasing and private private label products,
and the goal is apparently to not really generate store
profit in the traditional style. So I just want to
get this right. You want people to come in bid
to run the store, then not to make any money

(01:23:51):
to run said store. Okay, so what's missing annual sales
at each store? What are those wholesale costs of the
discount basket, payroll and benefits? What's going to be on there?
As far as food that is going to be thirty

(01:24:12):
percent off? How does that work? All fresh produce, meat,
and seafood, dairy, and refrigerated goods of roughly twenty pantry
staples categories. So that's the goal in this. Does it
sound magical? Yeah, because it's not real. Your thirty percent
savings is coming out of taxpayer money, so somebody's paying

(01:24:34):
for it. You're just getting a taxpayer coupon. It's the
best way to describe that. So we'll see how this
plays itself out. It all sounds good again. So much
of what they have is theory. If only we got
to work it, it would work this way because we
know how to do it better than somebody else. And
yet we have seen it elsewhere and it has failed

(01:24:56):
over and over again and continues to do so. The
DSA not a big tent. They'd like to think they
are They're popular on the TikTok, but in real life
not so much. Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show is your ex insta, YouTube and all those other

(01:25:16):

Speaker 26 (01:26:37):
Stein James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, serena.

Speaker 7 (01:26:54):
Um, what trumping.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Let's find I was trending on this Tuesday. Let's start
with the yahooooooo Numbre trending thing. Emma Roberts wedding of course,
of course, Darling Kaitlin Collins trending. Marvel reveals the new
Black Panther. So they've got a new Black Panther coming in.

(01:27:21):
It's gonna be the son of the old Black Panther.
Strong earthquake, Hitch Japan trending. Karl Simon Singers revealed she's
struggling with Parkinson's disease. Seattle shooting, we're talking about gang
related nineteen year old, fifteen year old to just soak
that up for a second. The potential for gangs, I'm

(01:27:42):
gonna go with yeah. And how did they decide to
deal with the beef they had by shooting at one
another in a crowded area of innocent people? There you go, kids,
there you go? How about those apples? Brian Codenberg or Knenberger,

(01:28:02):
he is the Idaho killer. And I say that because
while he's trying to now go and say that he
was coerced into saying he did it, he's still guilty
of it. But now he says he wants to reverse
his plea deal. I guess go to trial. We'll see

(01:28:23):
over to Google. Eric b Enemy, coach of Kansas City Chiefs,
one of them. His wife was shot yesterday by their son.
She's in stable condition, thank god. Carly Simon trending Appleton Tornado,
Trump Administration demanding that emergency rooms hand over any data

(01:28:45):
they have to DHS. Spider Man Brand New Day also trending,
and finally over to as Fauci Black Panther. Fauci talked
about him throughout the day. Cod three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, It is
Your Ex Insta YouTube and all the other good things

(01:29:06):
right here on the Chad Benson Show. Seattle also trending
no recess, not for the kids, but for the people
that refuse to pass the Save Act. Spider Man also
trending in Shark Week another one of those awesome things trending,
and Billy the Kid excited about Shark Week. I think

(01:29:28):
you guys know that Fauci and COVID are trending. In tomorrow,
Fauci's in front of the Senate. This is Ran Paul
talking about Fauci the way he handled things as his
diaries come out, and it is very interesting. There are
some serious issues that need to be addressed.

Speaker 27 (01:29:44):
One of the biggest items that we found in there
was that in January of twenty twenty, he already was
acknowledging that the virus didn't originate in the marketplace.

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
For years.

Speaker 27 (01:29:54):
He's been telling If you interviewed him last week, he's
quite still telling you the reason we think it came
from nature is because they had these exotic animals, and
that's where stars came from previously.

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
But he knew, he already.

Speaker 27 (01:30:05):
Knew, and we've known this for a while that other
people knew, but we didn't know he actually knew and
was acknowledging that it didn't. The earliest people who got
COVID were not associated with the marketplace. The Chinese CDC
was saying this in January twenty twenty. He knew it,
he told Dear Diary, but to the public. He commissioned
this paper called Proximal Origins, and in it they go

(01:30:28):
on and on saying it's tim plausible that it came
from the lab, and we're really convinced it came from
these wild animals in the marketplace. But that level of
dishonesty is really astounded.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
I predict tomorrow lots of fireworks, lots of good soundbites,
but not a lot else coming out of tomorrow's hearing.
That's just me coming up Mike Lions military Analysts. He's
going to join the program. We're going to discuss what's
going on over there in the Middle East among other places,
and do we have enough stuff. We shall discuss that
straight ahead with Mike Lions.

Speaker 28 (01:30:58):
This is the Jad Benson Show, Sun Chad Benson Show,

(01:31:21):
The Chad Benson Show, and is that time of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Talk to the best dam military and analyst in the business.
Tired major in the Army. The one and only Mike
Lines joins the program. All right, Mike, first and foremost,
we need to separate the rumors from the facts. I've
been saying for a while that we have depleted not
so much our offensive capability, but our defensive capability seems
to be running on a little bit on empty. And

(01:31:49):
you know, what's your take on this that you know
that we are kind of short in certain areas because
we've seen us pull stuff from other parts of the world,
and I feel like that, you know what, there's a
little more fire there than just the smoke.

Speaker 9 (01:32:03):
Child.

Speaker 14 (01:32:03):
You look at the military situation right now, it remains
a siege from by definition alone, as we control the
means of attacking this other country at will when we
want to fundamentally with weapons that they can't defend against.
We saw the Houthis try to get in the game
for about ten minutes and they had it. They fired

(01:32:24):
on a couple ships, but as I said, they just
don't have this long term sustainable capability. But to your point,
two types of weapons, the offensive weapons and the defensive weapons.
And while looks like we have a lot of sidewinders
and a lot of things that could hit the offensive side.

Speaker 9 (01:32:37):
There's clearly concern on the defensive.

Speaker 14 (01:32:39):
Side, the patriots, the things that are going to protect
the air defense platforms that are sitting in countries like
Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Noman, and doesn't appear that
those countries also are confident with them as well, So.

Speaker 9 (01:32:51):
This pause could be reflective of that.

Speaker 14 (01:32:54):
It's more on the defensive weapons as protection of the
force remains a number one priority. I was talking to
some of the other day at the military academy and
they are concerned that the Iran war is becoming more
and more weighing on people's minds about joining the military.
So if that's if that we're at that now point
now and protection of the force is important, I think

(01:33:15):
they're concerned about what those defensive canisters look like.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
So we've talked about the offensive. Give everybody a breakdown
of what our defensive capabilities are that we have over
there that works, and also the time frame to replenish those.

Speaker 14 (01:33:30):
Yeah, So think about the defensive air defense capabilities as
cordons that exist in layers based on the atmosphere, because
that's where the missiles are coming from, and the capability
to take out missiles at different parts of the atmosphere.
The Patriots take them out the highest point, for example,
and you bring them slowly down. For example, these rallies

(01:33:50):
have developed David Sling and the other systems that as
the rockets get closer and closer, it takes the missiles
out well. So same thing, but what's coming from Iran
are the ones at the highest levels of the atmosphere.
So those take the more sophisticated air defense systems in
order to go after Some of those missiles come in
supersonic speed. They come in at a rate that requires

(01:34:13):
specific technology to go after them. Sometimes those systems are
land based and sometimes they're sea based or ship based.
Most of the ships though, are dependent on protecting the carriers,
and so they are really really expensive missiles that fire
because those ones really got to make sure they hit
the target. So if we're going to go after one
of those using one of those, it's got to really
make it worth while. Think of it as layers, and

(01:34:35):
the fact of the manner is that in between those
layers there's bubbles where there's vulnerability. So those vulnerabilities are
from drone swarms, for example, So drone swarms don't come
in at a high level, but they come in at
medium levels and lower levels, undetected by radar, without the
mass level of capability to shoot them down. So it's
a little bit inside baseball they are. But you can

(01:34:57):
kind of you take the visual of it of the
think about it is coming in from high in the
atmosphere into low part of the atmosphere, being able to
defend each of the different layers.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
So we've got those. Now, everybody's like, okay, well, don't
we have millions and millions of those things. The fact
is is these things are not This isn't rolling off
a conveyor belt type of protection that we're that we're
looking for here.

Speaker 9 (01:35:22):
No, No, you're right, I didn't get to that.

Speaker 14 (01:35:24):
The the the long on the tooth approach to this
is a lot of these systems take months to manufacture
in some cases years, and companies like Anderoll trying to
lower that, you know, supply chain and fix that problem.
But for what we have right now, you know, given
what's been deployed, and because they need rare earth minerals,

(01:35:44):
they need things that just aren't readily available in a
lot of cases. And then also some of the new technology,
a lot of a lot of the things they are
getting to the battlefield though some of the new technology
from and er all some of these other places. As
these companies are focused completely on the air defense systems,
you're going to see that that place explode, especially that
industry explode, especially with Ukraine and Russia the same thing,

(01:36:05):
because they're their need for that. But but it is
it's a long manufacturing cycle. And you know, the kind
of things that we have to tell is you're seeing
the United States letting Ukraine now future manufacturer Patriot missiles.
We're going to take a lot of these manufacturing sites
to move them well off our shores. We'll still, you know,
Trump will make a way to figure out how to

(01:36:26):
make money out of it. But that just goes to
show you that demand for these weapon systems is going
to be flying off the shelf as soon as some
of these conflicts are over.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Talking to my clients, our military ana, lets we talk
about all things going on conflicts globally. So you know,
one of the things the cost of stuff, because let's
be real, we don't have it's not like that. We're
just we're we got so much money in savings. We don't.
And you know, one of the things that's brought up
this past week, and I think it's a fair thing
to bring up. You know, shooting down a fifty thousand
dollars drone with a five million dollar missile is not

(01:36:54):
cost effective. What on the other side of stuff defensively
do we have in the future, Because you deal a
lot with you know, AI, the future drones that I
think it's important that that's kind of the future of
the warfare, which is thanks to Ukraine in a weird way, is.

Speaker 14 (01:37:09):
Now Yeah, you know, the future of this defense and
offensive systems is going to be directed energy.

Speaker 9 (01:37:15):
It's going to be laser beams.

Speaker 14 (01:37:17):
I mean, Austin Power is firing laser beams at these
missiles that are coming at it. It's a dangerous technology
in some ways. To create the amount of energy it's
going to require in some cases making nuclear small nuclear
power plants, put them on some of the ships. I
think you'll see that technology go to ours cruisers and

(01:37:38):
destroyers pretty quickly because you need to generate a significant
amount of energy in order to have direct energy technology
take out drones and drones swarms. I think that's where
there's because that's very cost effective. That's a nickel, you know,
to shoot down a fifty thousand dollars drum. So the
economics work back in our favor. But that's going to
unleash a whole different set of potential disasters and things

(01:38:00):
that could happen. And we don't really know what the
results of that yet are and we're still a little
bit behind in that getting that level of energy stored
on a ship or on someplace on land.

Speaker 9 (01:38:10):
But that's where I think you're going to see it
directed energy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
Talking to my clients militaryannelists, we talk about all things
going on conflict wise, first of all, so we've talked
about all that stuff. Let's move to Trump is you know,
I think what we're going to get here, and I've
been saying it, you and I've talked about it. I
think it's going to be a lot of start stop
because Trump is trying to weigh the price battle that
they know Iran is trying to play, which is we

(01:38:34):
can suffer longer than you guys can suffer, and we're
going to do that through the midterms and then go
from there. And in truth, I still am not quite sure.
I mean, we just kind of stopped down the other day,
and you know it's going to pick up again. I mean,
are we going to just have stop start for the
rest of the year.

Speaker 9 (01:38:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:38:51):
I mean that's the definition of a siech, and it's
a matter of surrounding them and keeping that leverage when
we need it. But look what's happened, right He pauses
the strikes for a couple of days, and Aron's still
saying that they're not calling, which again this is kind
of you know, crazy as well. But oil drops on
about ten eleven percent over the last few days. So

(01:39:12):
that's Trump's other metric. He's watching that. I think he
watches you know, the weekend. He watches you know, on
Friday night when the markets are closing. I mean, that's
kind of the level of defense detail here. Now we
haven't seen a US president do something like this, this
level of strategy or really involvement, having his fingerprints so
so involved with this. The whip song back and forth

(01:39:33):
is starting and stopping from the military. But if you
look at it Sentcom when they were when they we
had about I guess twelve or thirteen days of strikes.
You know, they were moderate strikes. There were goldilocks.

Speaker 9 (01:39:43):
They weren't.

Speaker 14 (01:39:43):
They weren't there, you know, eleven hundred a day epic fury,
They weren't two or three with your rings were throwing,
you know, one hundred sorties, one hundred missiles, specific targets.
You know, that's that's a pace the military likes to
work at.

Speaker 9 (01:39:55):
You know, it's kind of like, you know, have.

Speaker 14 (01:39:56):
Your coffee fire, fire away, shut ou down and we'll
resume the next day. So again, that's where the military
has been set right now, and I think Trump is
going to see how the Iranians react with what happens.

Speaker 9 (01:40:10):
When we stop talking.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
To my client's military analysts, we talk about not just
what's going on in the Middle East, because now they've
kind of collided, right the Ukraine side of stuff with Russia,
and you've got the Red Sea. You've got this kind
of collision course of what is the oil world and
the energy markets all kind of now coming to a head.

Speaker 14 (01:40:31):
Yeah, look, Ukraine, you know, I just got to bring
up the facts right away. We saw this thing about
Russia losing about fifteen hundred troops in one day yesterday
or so.

Speaker 9 (01:40:41):
I mean, that's just not sustainable.

Speaker 14 (01:40:43):
What's what's happening there with the Ukrainians have been done
with their drone swarms, and we saw a report about
them hitting Moscow, hitting what is the same equivalents as
a Amazon facility. I mean again, their ability to reach
into Russia now is just almost unfettered. You know, the
whole Russian air defense system we are always afraid of,

(01:41:04):
and that's no barrier for them anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:41:07):
But it all is colliding, no question.

Speaker 14 (01:41:09):
And the technology that the Ukrainians are brought to the table,
and I know we're working with them on our side
on the AI they like we talked about, they really
they innovate almost weekly. And I just don't know how
Russia continues to sustain this with fifteen hundred losses a day.

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
Yeah, how do you know you said before we came
on that you you were eating and talking to people,
said that he wants to keep this going for three years.
You can't lose a thousand people a day, five thousand
people a week. Let's just say we'll even say like
eight hundred people there, so give or take, you can't
lose that many people and do that for another three
years and think that some way, shape or form, Pooter,

(01:41:43):
you're walking out the back end of this vine.

Speaker 14 (01:41:45):
Yeah, you know, the Moscow Times had that report. I
picked it up and then said, they're talking about potentially
imposing martial law in Russia because of that, because you know, literally,
young men are just being grabbed off the streets, thrown
in vans, and forty hours later there in Ukraine and
forty eight hours later there debt. I mean, it's just
that's the cycle that's taking place right now. The only

(01:42:05):
advantage Russia has is eleven time zones and the fact
that the communication doesn't always get to the eastern part
of the country and people don't know what's going on there.

Speaker 9 (01:42:15):
But I just don't know. You're right, I don't know
how he does it. I don't know how he does it.
For three years.

Speaker 14 (01:42:18):
The only thing I can think of is he still
thinks that the United States won't necessarily support Ukraine in
the long term.

Speaker 9 (01:42:26):
They'll give him some kind of deal, They'll give him
some way out of this.

Speaker 14 (01:42:31):
Looks like the US is also decreasing its yearly commitment
almost about sixty million dollars a year at this point.
So maybe Putin's reading that is America is not really
into this still at this point, and he can take
the three years and figure this out.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
You know, you've got Zelensky here today, You've got the
likes of BB here for the umpteen time. He might
as well rent an apartment. He's here so much. What
are you expecting out of this? Because BB is Israel's
been quiet but pushing. They obviously want to keep this
thing going on. And you know, for Zelensky, what do

(01:43:07):
you think Zelensky's gonna add to any of this?

Speaker 7 (01:43:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:43:09):
I think so you saw another thing was Zolensky. I
think he just replaced his top commander and defense minister.
So usually doing that, I think he has to really
close his circle here to think that if we're going
to have some kind of agreement there, he's got to
make sure that everyone's on the same side. Usually, and

(01:43:29):
when when when the president of a country does that,
that's kind of what that means that maybe the next
step that's coming here. He's turned out to be this
wartime president. He's turned out to be the Winston Churchill,
the you know, the when you think about it, you know,
he was mocked initially for that being the actor, but
he's acted ruthlessly to make sure that his country survives this.

(01:43:50):
And so I think that that's what that's what you're
gonna see here and him if he gets aligned with
BB and Trump and the three of them, that they
can get in a room and figure out some deal
to stuff, you know, that conflict in particular, that'd be
pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
It would be pretty amazing. Same as my client's military ans,
best and militarily analysts in the business A retired major.
Appreciate you coming on, brother, and we'll do it again
next week.

Speaker 9 (01:44:11):
Thanks check, Thanks for having me man.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
I love talking to Mike interesting on the rebuilding, how
long it takes to rebuild when it comes to our military,
because we think it's a let's see the way I
did that. You guys can't see it, but I stab
my fingers and magically we turn on some sort of
you know, conveyor belt and shoot them out. And that's
not the way that works, just isn't. And the cost too,

(01:44:34):
I mean, that's the other side of it, because I
care about what things cost. When it comes to you know,
how much money we're spending, what they want to spend
it on, I think we should all care a little
bit more about that. That's what the Republicans used to
be about. They've decided we're not about that anymore. But
the cost of it all, and you know, shooting down
a fifty thousand dollars drone with a five million dollar
missile is not cost effective. The EMPs and some of

(01:44:58):
that other stuff that's out there is great, but it's
you know, why why are we so far behind in
some ways? And I think what he talked about Ukraine
and what's going on there, I think that is vitally
important because I think they are changing the battlefield day
by day. Absolutely. Speaking of changing, it's time for you
to change. It's time for you to take control of

(01:45:19):
your data again with in cogny. Now, you guys have
already been talked about in Cognate, So in Cognitate, it's amazing.
They go and get your data back for you, get
you off all those lists that can be sold to anybody, Scammers, criminals,
I mean, you name it, anybody, people that want to
shop your data around for the best, you know, sales

(01:45:41):
they can give you for some I mean just it's
you want your data, you should want it, and these
brokers know that they have to take you off the list.
The issue is it makes it so impossible for you
A to find out who most of these brokers are.
And B, and this is most important, find out how
to get you off the list. That's what Incognate does.
They go, they get you off the list, and they
do it quick. They've gotten me off hundreds of data

(01:46:03):
brokers lists and they'll do the same for you. This
is what I want you to do. Sign up for today.
You care about your data, They've got it out there.

up straight ahead, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:46:36):
Deep Stinks No Deep doo doo. Yeah, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:46:44):
As we wrap up this beautiful, amazing Tuesday. I like
to finish things with a good and I found a
guy the other day that is going to be finishing
a lot of our shows because of his wisdom, which
is awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:47:02):
He is.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
Hilarious and he's just full of great wisdom, and I
will tell you this. Somebody said, well, what's he like?
Do you did you ever see the show Taxi? Oh yeah,
you guys remember Jim Mgnatowski. Yeah, this is what Jim
Mnatowski would be today and his words of wisdom phenomenal.

Speaker 29 (01:47:25):
So if you want to change a life, the secret
to make the changes in life is you just you
just do different stuff. That's it, just you know, you
just have the stuff you want to do. You start
doing that and then stop doing the stuff you don't
want to do. Okay, think about that for a while.

(01:47:52):
I was ferging awesome day.

Speaker 7 (01:47:54):
It's stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:47:56):
Okay, Bye.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
It's like Gary Busey, but not so much of a mumbler.
He is just spectacular. His name is Ronald Norman, so
if you want to look him up, he looks like
a bit of Jim mcnatowski with a long white beard

(01:48:21):
and a bit of Rick from Rick and Morty and
his wisdom. You heard it. If you want to do
you know, other stuff, just do other stuff. If you
want to change his change, it's that simple. You're like, yeah,
see's about right. I love it, absolutely fantastic, right there.
