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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
You think I'll have a Sunday best on the Zelenski
all of the group, the crew is coming in today
after Friday watching people freak out after Friday. Oh my god,
Trump met with Putin and they rolled out the red
carpet for him. I can't believe that. Oh my god,
what are you talking about. Oh that's right. You don't

(00:35):
care about actually stopping a war. Many Democrats looking at
you because you don't like the fact that Trump dealt
with Putin. Your guy wouldn't deal with Putin. Your guy
ignored the whole thing. Your guy, who, by the way,
was our guy because he's American and he was the

(00:59):
American president. He didn't do anything. He'd have fasset, give
him some weapons, take some weapons away, say he's going
to give him weapons, then not give him weapons, tell
him no, then tell no. Trump said, I got to
sit down to meet with it. So they had the
big they had the pomp, they had the circumstance, the
whole nine yards. But it's funny because there are many
people out there on the left and I'm flabbergasted by this,

(01:21):
and I shouldn't be in today's world that have a
disdain for Donald Trump so strong that they want this
to fail, because of failure would mean some sort of victory.
You couldn't stand the fact that Trump would broke her
piece get it done. You could not stand that. That's

(01:45):
what's fascinating about this, Just fascinating.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Chris Murphy, that meeting was a disaster. It was an
embarrassment for the United States. It was a failure. Couldn't
got everything he wanted. I mean, first of all, well,
he wanted that photo op, right. He wanted to be
absolved of his war crimes in front of the world.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
He was invited to the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
War criminals are not normally invited to the United States
of America. He is intentionally murdering civilians, he's kidnapping children,
and now he got to stand next to the President
of the United States, legitimized in the view of the world. Second,
he didn't have to give up anything nothing right. President
Trump said he wanted a ceasefire. It appears the ceasefire
wasn't even seriously discussed.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
And then third, there's no consequences.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Trump said, if I don't get a ceasefire, Putin's going
to pay a price. And then he walked to that
out of that meeting saying, I didn't get a ceasfire,
I didn't get a peace deal, and I'm not even
considering sanctions. You heard Secretary of Rubio downplay sanctions, and
so Putin walks away with his photo op with zero
commitments made and zero consequences.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
What a great day for Russia.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh my god? Any how excited you, Chris Murphy. Oh,
this isn't over, it's not done. This is the beginning
of something that is going to take a bit and
it may not work. I'll be hundre persent honest with you.
It may not work, it might not. But to say

(03:16):
it's an embarrassment for America, it's an embarrassment for America.
It's absolutely an embarrassment. Oh my god, It's never been
so embarrassing. Shut the hell up. What is wrong with people?
By the way, the most sanctioned nation on earth, We
went over it last week, twenty thousand sanctions. He wants

(03:40):
he doesn't want a ceasefire, he wants a peace agreement. Okay,
we're gonna let it play itself out.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Well, I want to drill down on that exactly and
what happened, because as you just turned. Before the meeting
with President Putin, President Trump warned there would be quote
very severe consequences for Russia if it didn't stop the war.
Here's a little more of what he said on the
plane ride over. Take a look.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I want to see sees fire rapidly.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
I don't know what it's going to be today, but
I'm not going to be happy if it's not today.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
So what exactly changed is it that Putin would not
agree to a cease fire.

Speaker 7 (04:14):
Well, first of all, the Russians are already facing very
severe consequences. There's not a single sanction that's been lifted,
and not one, I mean, they're facing all the same
sanctions that have been in place today, all the American
support continues for Ukraine. And ultimately, look, if we're not
going to be able to reach an agreement here at
any point, then there are going to be consequences, not
only the consequences of the war continuing, but the consequences

(04:35):
of all those sanctions continuing and potentially new sanctions on
top of it as well. But what we're trying to
do right now is end of war. And in order
to end a war, you've got to give every opportunity
that exists. You have to be open any opportunity that
exists to bring it about. And here's the thing to
remind everybody. And when the President says, this is not
our war, but let's be frank, this is.

Speaker 8 (04:55):
Not our war.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
The United States is not in a war. Ukraine is
in a war, and we've been supporting you. We happen
to be in the role of the only country.

Speaker 9 (05:03):
In the world.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
We're the only leader in the world that can actually
bring Putin to a table to even discuss these things. Now,
the President has traveled, you know, all the way to
Alaska all the way back, has dedicated months and months
of work him, our entire team on this matter because
we want to see an end of the war. But
if tomorrow the war continues, life in America will not
be fundamentally altered.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Which is true, it won't be. It's not our war.
It isn't. And we could say, well, the West played
with Ukraine and teased Putin Andica. There's so much bs
that it's going on. You know, remember originally this started,
it was well, we were a big part of it
because we were Now now I remember it was he
was going in to save all the Russian speakers in

(05:47):
certain regions because they were being attacked by Nazis, so
they were going to denazify all of this, and we
still don't know if all the Nazis have gotten out,
and then it was you know, I mean, it's all
of the things. It is he there is a portion
of him that does want some sort of bringing back
to the Bosom, you know, the motherland of the old Soviets,

(06:12):
but alas this is where we are and wanting him
to fail trying to bring it into this. You people
out there, and there are plenty of them that want
Trump to fail. You kuys are insane, insane. The amount

(06:33):
of casualties in this war is absolutely mind boggling. And
if we're going to do sanctions, sanctions on them, they're
starting to feel it now more than they ever have.
Twenty thousand sanctions by the way. But it's not just them.

(06:53):
If we're serious about it, we have to go after
who China, China and India. Well, we threw fifty percent
tariff on India. They didn't blink, they care. They're not
gonna stop buying cheap oil from Russia. And we've already
said we're not going to sanction China over this. So

(07:14):
there you go. Not gonna get any better at all
when it comes to sanctions. So you got to take
a different route, and that route is simple. You're gonna
have to let them know. Hey, guys, you're gonna hate this,
but you're gonna have to give up some land. It's
that simple.

Speaker 10 (07:32):
We welcome President Trump's willingness to contribute to Article five
like security guarantees for Ukraine, and the coalition of the willing,
including the European Union, is ready to do its share.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
And that I hope is true. That's sir, sir gal
Ursula there from the European Union. You're gonna have to
do your part, and your part is going to be
much bigger than it's been in a long time, because
this is on your doorstep, it's not on our doorstep.

(08:07):
And we look putin is all of the things. You're
not gonna get any argument out of me about whether
or not he is all of the things. That being said,
at what point do we say we've had enough? At
what point do we say that if you want to

(08:29):
make the argument, well his next step would be a
NATO country, Well, if it's a NATO country, then we're
gonna be evolved tackle one attack of all three musketeers.
But they're never gonna be NATO, at least not why
Putin's life. So then they do need guarantees, because you
can't say, hey, we're gonna we're gonna take a bunch
of land from you, and we're gonna give you no

(08:50):
guarantees that he may take some of the future. No,
that's silly, but come on goodness me. Meanwhile, all that
being said, you're in America, is Marco Rubio put it.
Our life goes on our life right now for a
lot of people. This is a lot of people's lives,
and this woman, I think absolutely voiced a lot of

(09:15):
what people are feeling and thinking right now.

Speaker 11 (09:18):
Hey, TikTok, I'm just on here wondering if anybody's feeling
the same way I'm feeling. I'm from Illinois, and I
feel like the gas prices and the electric bills and
the prices of food is just so overwhelming anymore. Like,
I'm wondering if anybody else is feeling like they're drowning

(09:40):
and they can't get out. I work over time and
I cannot get above water. I mean, I literally have
no gas for next week. It was either that or
get a few groceries to get by. I hit my
local food panduries. I'm just wondering if anybody else feels

(10:03):
like they're drowning. But anyway, I hope everybody has.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
A great day. I think that lady kind of spoke
for a lot of people, the frustration level that is
out there feeling like things aren't getting any better. They're
getting tougher. The upper middle class to rich and wealthy
are doing just fine, but the middle class is a struggling.

(10:29):
An energy price this was interesting. So energy prices themselves
have decreased over the last twelve months, but when it
comes to electricity things like that, they've gone up tremendously,
especially in some areas. And that's a big deal because

(10:50):
we all know electricity prices eat up a lot. And
if you're living like she is and many other people,
paycheck to paycheck, and that paycheck used to get you
over the goal line, and now that paycheck leaves you
several yards short. You're feeling it every day and you

(11:11):
don't feel like you see the light at the end
of this tunnel. Three two, three, five, three eight twenty

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
While all of the other stuff is going on globally,
redistricting still the battle of battles.

Speaker 12 (13:18):
Governor Greg Abbott saying that every strategy is at play,
and as he's called for a second special session to
allow state Republicans to pass a new map and increase
their majority, it follows President Trump's charge to flip five
congressional seats Republican in next year's midterm. A previous attempt
to change the districts failed as Democrats fled the state
to prevent the corps needed to pass new legislation. But

(13:39):
now those same Democrats appear poised to return with renewed
hope that while they may see congressional ground in Texas,
their efforts could pick up Democratic seats elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's what they hope, where maybe California. Speaking of that,
I want you to listen to this. This guy's name
Gavin Newsom. He's running for president. He hasn't told everybody yet,
but he is. Except for he's told everybody always. So
he's got an ad out about Donald Trump and all

(14:12):
the things that are going on. I'm like, really, wake up.

Speaker 13 (14:17):
America, wake up to what Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
Here.

Speaker 13 (14:24):
He is once again trying to rig the system. He
doesn't believe in the rules. We can't stand back and
watch this democracy disappear district by district.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
We have got to meet fire with fire.

Speaker 13 (14:38):
We're asking the voters for their consent to do mid
term redistricting to level the playing field all across the
United States on November fourth.

Speaker 14 (14:48):
You have the power to stand up to Trump. Donald Trump,
you have poked the bear and we will patched back.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
This is serious moment.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Wake up, very powerful. Really now. It's look, as I've
been saying for ever in a day, how frustrated I
am with this entire situation, over the fact that they
are interested in holding on to power. They're the same,

(15:21):
they are. They may have a few differences, but both
sides are the same. They're absolutely the same, and their
goal is to hold on to power. That's it. Coke
and Pepsi. Coke and Pepsi never wanted anybody else in
their world. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

(15:41):
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your ex
your Insta? Let me know what you think right here
on the Chad Benson Show. So even when they ran commercials,
what were they about? Pepsi would say we're better than coke.
Coke would say we're better than pepsi. What were they
doing making sure everybody knew that there were two? That

(16:04):
was it? Two? No more than that Coke or Pepsi.
It's the same thing here, and it is frustrating that
they want to make sure that everybody knows there's only
two because we need more choices, because both these parties
have failed us. Speaking of failing, let's go to Canada.

(16:25):
Air Canada on strike.

Speaker 15 (16:27):
Air Canada is now saying that the union is defying
in order from the Canada Industrial Relations Board to get
back to work. The airline was expecting to restart limited
operations today, but because the flight attendants remain on the
picket lines, this forced the airline to suspend that plan.
And Air Canada is the largest carrier in Canada, operating

(16:47):
about seven hundred flights a day, and the impacts of
this strike have been felt during this busy summer travel
period with tens of thousands of passengers stranded at airports.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Are you ready for this? One hundred and two hundred
and fifty thousand passes a day? And the government said
you need to go back to work, and they said,
no way, no way, I'm not going back to work.

Speaker 16 (17:08):
The employer's not taking out steers, They are not coming
back to the table.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Any issues still need to be addressed.

Speaker 16 (17:13):
We still have members living at the poverty line.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Well that's not supposed to happen in Canada, but they
are and it also affects us down here because a
lot of this traveled down here. So very interesting. But
they ordered them to go back to work, and the
union said no, No. Three two three, five, twenty four,
twenty three at Chat Benson shows your ex your Insta.

(17:37):
This is the Chad Benson.

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

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Chad Danson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Say on this Monday, too much serious stuff. Let's talk
about James Comey and his love of some singer.

Speaker 18 (18:09):
What hey, everybody, welcome back to my substack. Last week's
cold turns out to have been COVID. Oh quite a flashback,
and Donald Trump is still president and still humiliating America
on a national stage standing next to Vladimir Putin. It's
like a dream, a bad dream you can't wake up from.
But I don't want to talk about that bad dream

(18:29):
this week. I want to talk about a truly inspirational
public figure named Taylor Swift. Of course I watched her
podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers. Of course I watched
the whole thing, although on YouTube. Teresa and I got
kicked off for the last fifteen minutes and finished it
on her phone, But I watched it. You see Taylor
Swift and I go way back. I went to my

(18:51):
first concert of hers fifteen years ago. I've been to
a second, and I have helped financially support the attendance
of a lot of family member others. I'm in a
family's swifty group chat. I know all her music and
I listened to it on my headphones when I cut
the grass.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
That used to be the head of the FBI. He's swifty.
Wait wait what, Oh, he's not done in five minutes
of this. I'll play it. I'm gonna play it throughout
the day because it's insane swifty. It's just it's the
it's the it's just so bizarre, so I can't have

(19:31):
nice things. It's not even somebody fun like Abbah. And
he's not even like my producer of my local show.
His name is Bell, right, so Bell. He's got long
he looks like he's in Mega death. He does. He
still wears wristbands like that guy. He's older than me,

(19:54):
not by much, but he is. This is his jam, right,
you think rock. His favorite band of the world is Abba.
So it's kind of funny that being said this. You're
the former director of the FBI and you're like, you
know what Taylor Swift gets me through a lot? You
know what it does good for you.

Speaker 18 (20:16):
So yes, I have a favorite of hers, although honestly,
for me, it's a tie between All Too Well, Ten
Minute Version and Exile featuring Bony Verir.

Speaker 8 (20:26):
Taylor Swift has grown.

Speaker 18 (20:27):
Up with my family and provided us as soundtrack really
as we've grown ourselves and learned and adapted and dealt
with adversity and celebration.

Speaker 8 (20:37):
She had songs for all of it.

Speaker 18 (20:39):
I suspect that's something that millions of Americans have also.

Speaker 8 (20:43):
Experienced in their families.

Speaker 18 (20:45):
I think that's because Taylor Swift produces great art, but
also because she models something At every stage of her career.
She's shown a certain way of being that resonated with
my kids and also felt right to me as a parent.
And she's still doing that as a grown up. Like
a lot of you, I struggle with how to stand

(21:06):
up to bullies without letting their meanness infect me and
change me.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Sorry, I just get with you.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
I just I'm so.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
She just makes my heart teat and whenever I feel down,
I just put her music on. You're a grown ass man.
It's one thing of its tongue in cheek. You're being
serious right now. Shame shame, speaking of shame man. So
on my local show we do crossover and my buddy
Matt he comes on after me. We were talking about

(21:47):
apak in this insanity of what's going on over there
in the Middle East, in particular the fact that you know,
the the the country that now controls our country is Israel.
And I said, everybody, you know, for the most part,
for the most part, I'm sure some believe it, but

(22:08):
I think for the most part a vast majority of
them they don't believe a lot of the crap that
they talk about with you know, Oh it's the you know,
this is destiny and all that crap that the insanity
of which and I'll remind everybody last week Lindsey Graham
and his wacka do I do mean whackado? Oh you

(22:28):
know what, it's just Jesus is going to kill our
nation if we don't do everything Israel wants or whatever.
He said, This is not a hard choice if you're
an American.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
It's not a hard choice if you're a Christian.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
A word of warning, if America.

Speaker 19 (22:43):
Pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Us, such a bunch of horse crap. I think we
recognize how crappy that is. And I continue to say this.
The more that I find myself in common with Marjorie
Taylor Green, the weirder it is in this surreal world.

Speaker 20 (23:04):
I did want to get your reaction to comments from
Lindsay Graham. Recently he gave a speech where he said
that if the United States pulled the plug on Israel,
God would pull the plug on the United States. Is
that your understanding of scripture and how God thinks about geopolitics?

Speaker 8 (23:21):
Oh?

Speaker 21 (23:21):
Absolutely, I mean that is like such a fake Christian doctrine.
As a matter of fact, Jesus says that he is
the way to God, he is the door, he is
the way to Heaven. He clearly states that in the
Gospel of John, and it's said over and over in
the New Testament.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
We don't go to heaven by how much money.

Speaker 22 (23:40):
We pay Israel and how many of their Israel's wars
that we fight, and how many people are murdered as
a result of it, and how many children are starved,
and how many innocent people, whether Palestinian, Christian or children
are blown to pieces while Israel is basically committing genocide
and Gaza.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
It's not the way to heaven.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
It's just right, it's not. But Chad, they're God's chosen people.
So we got into it on Friday. We did. We
got into it in a major way. Like you know,
it was is pretty gnarly even afterwards, and I, you know,
I'm like, look, dude, you know I this I study

(24:25):
this stuff. This is what I do. You know. The
the the people just say and I think he was
trying to say, dude, you're you're you know, you're in
the South here. There's we got a lot of evangelicals.
I get that. I get that, but they're living on
insane doctrine brought by some guy named Charles Nelson Darby,
you know, and the Scholfield Bible. That this stuff didn't

(24:48):
even exist one hundred plus years ago the way it
does now. They they they it is insane. And I
even look, I'm attackt every day. I tell my wife
this weekend and so I'm attacked every day when I
bring this up, because I especially for people. You know,

(25:13):
if you're a bully and you get knocked out, that's
a you thing, right. I don't think any of us
are gonna cry if the likes of Putin gets knocked out.
I don't think any of us gonna break tear, you know,
shed a tear. I mean, I don't think any of
that's gonna happen. But when I look at what's going
on over there, as a human being, as a person

(25:34):
who follows Christ, I don't want that done in my name.
And to say that the influence here, take away the
religious side of it, the influence that Apec has is
beyond insane. And Israel knows this is their last go here.
They understand that they've got to go in and do this.
And by the way, the huge, huge protest last night

(25:59):
and they were massive. He doesn't care. He's already said
BB and them. They don't care. They're taking everything over.
This is what they're going to do, and they're doing
it with our blessing, and I want no part of that.
That's not what Jesus came back and said, Hey, I
got a great idea. Guys, do all the stuff you

(26:22):
want to do, kill all the people you want to kill,
make sure Israel gets all the money they need to
do it. Right, that's not it, And I'll take the
slings and arrows, And I told her, I said, look,
I feel like I know I'm doing the right thing,
and this isn't about and everybody's always going to preface this.
This isn't about you know, it's not about the Jewish people.
Stop being stupid. And the right is using the same

(26:46):
thing the left does when you criticize something. I don't
think drag queens should read to the little children. You're homophobic, okay.
I don't think the trans people, you know what, men
who become women or whatever, should play in women's sports. Oh,
it's because you're transphobic. No, it's not because the reality

(27:09):
of it. If I say, I don't think Bibi and
his crew should be doing what they're doing because it
is genocide. It is an absolute atrocity to what is
going on. But you hate the Jews. I heard somebody
said the other day, you can't even say this bagel
was burned last you hate the Jews. I'm like, eah,

(27:30):
that's what it's become. And I'm here to say, you
know what, We're going to battle it out. Let's battle
it out. But I don't want my name and I'm
sure you don't want your name on bullets and bombs
to contribute to an atrocity, because that's what this is.

(27:53):
Three two, three, twenty four to twenty three at Chad
Vinson shows your extra insta coming up to stay in history.

It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 24 (29:22):
Weapons, which scared its way to the top of the
box office and its debut, managed to stay numero uno
in its second weekend, with an additional twenty five million dollars,
bringing its domestic total eighty nine million.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Number two, Oh that's interesting.

Speaker 24 (29:36):
Disney's Freaky or Friday, which reunites Jamie Lee Curtis and
Lindsay Lohan for a sequel to their two thousand and
three box office hit, earned fourteen and a half million.
Nobody two was third, and the Fantastic four First Steps.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Fourth Weapons crushed it, no doubt about it. So my
uncle you guys here, Yes, we do the podcast together
a few days a week. On top of that, he
is in Hollywood working because we have a couple of
companies and he's a nerd. Sends me. This text at

(30:11):
three in the morning should have been won his time.
Weapons is the best horror movie I've seen in years, terrifying, awesome.
I want to see it, and a lot of people didn't.
I mean, horror movies, we always talk about how bankable
they are. They don't cost a lot, and you've got
a built in audience and if you do it okay,

(30:33):
people will show up. We've seen that over and over
and over and over again. And this weekend a lot
of people thought, well, Freaky Friday's gonna win it. Right wrong.

Speaker 25 (30:42):
It's the surprise blockbuster hit of the summer. Weapons, the
horror film starring Josh Brolin, swept the box office, raking
in one hundred million dollars worldwide it's opening weekend. The
film is so popular it kept family favorite freak Here
Friday out of the top slot. Freakier Friday was effect
it to be number one.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
What happened.

Speaker 26 (31:02):
Never underestimate the power of horror to bring people to
the movie theater.

Speaker 25 (31:05):
Pauld Garabedian is the senior Media analyst for com Score.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Horror movies are very cost effective.

Speaker 26 (31:12):
Generally, you don't have to break the bank on the
budget to make a great horror film.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Truth and that's it. We've seen it right. Sinners didn't
cost a ton of money, made huge, huge, huge money.
You start breaking down the cost of stuff earlier this
year with Final Destination, Bloodlines, massive amounts of money on
that one, huge amounts of money on that one. So

(31:39):
we can, you know, we break it down. It is
fairly simple. You've built an audience and if you put
something out that's decent, people will go see it. How
many times do we have to tell you that? Hmmm?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
A lot?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
So it burns into your mind till it makes history.
Did you say history? I did you know what time
it is?

Speaker 8 (31:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah, this day in history. Time's upon in time a
long time ago. Now it's time for this day in history.
We look back on this set to find out what
famous things took place. All right, kids, a little this
day in history on a Monday, the date the eighteenth
of August. Are you ready for this? Birth of Virginia Dare,

(32:22):
the first English child born in the Americas to colonists
in Roanoak Island. History says that her fate remains a
mystery because of the lost colony. Although they think they're
getting closer to figuring that out. The Nineteenth Amendment was
ratified on this date in nineteen twenty. What does that
mean that women in the United States gained the constitutional

(32:43):
right to vote? The Nineteenth Amendment was ratified. Tennessee's approval
made it ah official. The hardest day in the Battle
of Britain happened on this day as the British Air
Force did everything they could to battle the German Luffaffa.
They launched a massive attack on the Ria basis. Both

(33:03):
sides suffered massive losses. On this day in history, nineteen
sixty three, James Meredith graduated. Why was that something that
was interesting? Well, he graduated from Old miss Who was he?

Speaker 19 (33:20):
James H.

Speaker 27 (33:21):
Meredith is formally enrolled at the University of Mississippi, ending
one chapter in the federal government's efforts to desegregate the university.
The town of Oxford is an armed camp following riots
that accompanied the registration of the first Negro in the
university's one hundred and eighteen year history.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, that's who he was, And to say it was
an armed camp would be an understatement. It was a nightmare.
Then we've come a long way. We need to celebrate that.
Also on this date in history, nineteen sixty nine, Woodstock
ended legendary three day music festival closed in Bethel, New York,
estimated fo hundred thousand people, and Jimmy Hendrix took to

(33:59):
the state Agent. Well did his thing. He rocked at

(34:24):
big time. Of course, the hippies had a party that
wasn't supposed to be as big as it was. And finally,
on this day in history, some birthdays notable ones on
this day in history. Some of the birthdays are the
likes of Shelley Winters. She was born on this day

(34:45):
in nineteen twenty, Roberto Clemente was born on the day
nineteen thirty four, Robert Redford in nineteen thirty six, and
Patrick Swayze was born on this day in nineteen fifty two.
And we know what.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
Nobody puts baby in the corner.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Nobody does, but baby in the corner. You're a grown man, sir.
She's fifteen. That statutory rape. You should go to jail.
See how I've ruined the movie for you guys. Yeah, three, two, three, five, three,
twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show, get
your act, your instat all of that stuff, and don't
forget your YouTube Facebook. We'll be live tonight doing some

(35:24):
YouTube stuff a little bit later, probably about seven o'clock
my time, which would be what eight o'clock eastern, five
o'clock on the West coast. We have a chance to
make sure you jump on board. We'd love it when
you do that. Right in the Chad Benson Show. Coming up,
our number two of the program, more on the big
meeting in DC. How big will it be? It'll be huge,

(35:48):
will it? We'll find out again this is not an
easy thing. And watching the media attack Trump for meeting
with Putin yet wanting the war to come to an end.
I think it's hard to tell with the media it is.
It's hard to tell with the media.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
We'll do.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
We'll do some of that. We've got DC and their
issues when it comes to crime and the overreaction of
it is always hilarious. Plus we've got a bunch of
other stuff urban Word of the Day and guess what
gen Z kids are learning. You'll be surprised about this.
All that and so much more straight ahead right here
on the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:53):
It's the big day out the White house. Oh, what's
gonna happen? I don't know. H The reality is Russia
is in the driver's seat. It's that simple. I mean,
we could pretend that they're not, but there's still in
the driver's seat. But you had they met and Trump

(37:13):
gave him everything. Nothing came out of Friday. I just
want to reminder of it. Nothing came out. There's no ceasefire,
there's no peace agreement. Trump's goal, I believe, is to
get them in the same room together. That would be
like a big deal, getting them in the same room
where they're talking and trying to hammer out all this stuff.

(37:37):
But he's tweeted out stuff. This is the former ambassador
two to Ukraine on CNN early today.

Speaker 28 (37:43):
So investor, when you see the president President Trump tweeting
that Dolensky could end this war on media almost immediately
if you wanted to saying no Crimea and never we
would assume going into NATO, you see that maybe as
the opening the opening bid that they would they could.
That would be the source of where they begin the

(38:05):
discussion today.

Speaker 29 (38:07):
Exactly, Kate, exactly on Crimea. Again, as John just pulled out,
there there's a difference between formal recognition of Russian ownership
sovereignty over Crimea, which the Ukrainians won't agree to, but
they could make a counterproposal.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
They could on that one.

Speaker 29 (38:26):
On the Crimea they could say, look, we will acknowledge
that you Russians now occupy Crimea. We don't like it,
we don't accept it, but we acknowledge it and we
will not try to take it back militarily. The Ukrainians
could say that could be a reasonable counter peples on NATO,
they could say, Okay, we agree that we're not going

(38:46):
to go into NATO today, not now, but we won't
agree that we can never go in.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Well, I think those are kind of fair. Look, you're
not getting the land back, you're not not at this
moment in time. Let's just if you think that you're
gonna get it back for whatever reason, you think you're
gonna get it back, like you're gonna fight it off,
whatever that you think I would have fight them, and
then there we get and we're gonna take it. It's

(39:14):
not gonna happen. It isn't. They have taken it, and
crime is a perfect example. They've occupied it for a
dozen years, that's it. They've occupied it for a dozen
years now. We talked about it on Friday of what
Ukraine would have to do because it's in the constitution

(39:37):
that they can't give up land. They would have to
have a referendum, including the people that are living on
that land in the occupied territories would have to participate in,
said Skibaber, referendum on whether or not they could see
that land officially to them.

Speaker 6 (39:54):
Russia is still unsuccessful in Donetsk region. Putin has been
unable to take it for twelve years and the Constitution
of Ukraine makes it impossible impossible to give up territory
or trade land. Since the territorial issue is so important,

(40:14):
it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine
and Russia at the trilateral Ukraine United States Russia. So far,
Russia gives no sign that trilateral will happen, and if
Russia refuses, then new sanctions must follow.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
And there's not going to be any more sanctions at
this moment in time. What more sanctions are you gonna
be able to do if you're not going to go
after the likes of because you've already gone after India
and they didn't blink, So now you're not going after China.
You're kind of running out of options here of who
you're going to go after. If you're not going after
China and India didn't care, you had to go after

(40:53):
the third parties to put a real pain into Russia's
pocketbook that would force them to do something. I think
the reality is the way that this finishes is when
a peace agreement is finally done and dusted, there will
be maybe, as the ambassador there said, an acknowledgment that

(41:15):
while it's still our land, you guys are occupying it,
and a security guarantees. The whole thought of you're never
getting in a NATO never say never, but wait till
he dies the Pewter. But you do need security guarantees.

Speaker 6 (41:33):
It's important that America agrees to work with Europe to
provide security guarantees for Ukraine, and we are very thankful
to the United States under the President for such signal
and therefore for everyone in Europe this is a significant change.
W there are no details how it will work.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
And I think the security guarantees of what I've been
talking about, which is I've unprovoked, they cross the line
of which everybody agrees on. So Russia decides it wants
another five hundred miles of something or other who knows
what inside of Ukraine, and Ukraine has done nothing but

(42:16):
lived their life at that point in time. They've not
fought over the land they've lost, they've not done anything. Then, yes,
we are a part of backing them, not boots in
the ground. Let Europe handle that portion of it. But
as far as maybe weapons and whatnot, okay, I'm fine

(42:38):
with that. I'm fine with that. If you guys attack them,
you're on your own. There you go, kind of problem solved.
I know that you don't want to give up any
of your land. It's not yours anymore. It's not you're
not getting it back. It's not yours. It isn't. And

(43:02):
because of that, you guys have to officially figure out
how you move on. And you move on by strengthening yourself,
making sure the deal is strong, making sure Europe's behind,
get those guarantees that are certain to make you feel
good that you're protected in the event that he decides
to make like a frog and leap again, and then

(43:25):
we move on from there. Million plus people have died
or been injured. At some point in time, you realize
your nation's future is already going to be a struggle
in the coming decades for the amount of lives lost injuries.

(43:46):
So now is the time to figure out how you
secure that future, move forward and go from there. You've
got people on the battlefield that average in the mid
to late forties. That's a tough thing. Ooh, it is, meanwhile,
something that matters to us. I've been playing this all day.

(44:07):
I'll continue to play it because I think it's absolutely
the thing that matters most to us here in America.
The economy, stupid is expensive, and this lady, I think,
kind of says what a lot of people are feeling.

Speaker 11 (44:22):
Hey, TikTok. I'm just on here wondering if anybody's feeling

(44:44):
local food banduries. I'm just wondering if anybody else feels

(45:07):
like they're drowning. But anyway, I hope everybody has a
great day.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I think a lot of people feel that way. I
think a lot of people feel that way. I think
a lot of people are frustrated. It's really interesting. So
energy prices in some ways have gone down almost two
percent year to year, but commercial property, the energy prices
have powered the homes, those things have gone up and

(45:34):
people are feeling it. Among other things, grocery prices are
still high. That hasn't changed. Tariffs haven't really hit, but
we're starting to feel some of the effect of those things.
And you know, everybody's like, well, you got to give
them time to work. A lot of people don't have
that kind of time.

Speaker 11 (45:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
It's the thing I was talking about when even when
Biden was president, you got six minutes of air, but
it's ten minutes to you know, from the bottom of
the sea to where you have to go. People are frustrated,
and they're upset, and they're nervous, and they're looking around
and their thing. I thought it was supposed to be better,

(46:14):
and I would saying it won't be better because I
think it will. I'm not hoping that America has some
massive financial crash so the left can feel good about
their self, just like the idiots on the right who think, oh, wait,
hope Biden fails. You know who feels that way. People
that don't have to worry, right, People whose jobs are

(46:38):
always there, regardless of how good or bad the economy is,
or their pensions are always there. You know, they've paid
for their house, they're living life, you know, they own
it outright, and they got a nice pension or savings whatever.

(46:59):
They're okay. So they're like, oh, I hope that this
happens to Biden. And on the other side, people who
hope it happens to Trump. They're sitting there. The ones
who hope that are people where the economy itself really
has no really has no impact on their life because
they're in a position that they're fine, and we should

(47:23):
want that for our fellow Americans. So you could feel
good about yourself. That lady, though, I think, speaks for
a lot of people. And when you hear her and
how upset she is, you realize how expensive life is
right now for a ton of people that paycheck. It
used to go all the way across the line the

(47:45):
goal I touched down. Now it doesn't. Now you're more
than a few yards short of the end zone, and
people are feeling that in a major way. I talk
to people all the time. I see the expense that's
out there because I feel it myself every single day.

the National Guard. Do we need it? We will discuss.

Speaker 30 (49:34):
Straight ahead right here on the Chad Benson Show, Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
The Battle of d C. Trump versus the Left. I
guess you would say, right like, the the left who
hate Trump at all lost all the time. That's it.
They have nothing else when you ask them something about anything.
What do you think of the economy, They're like January sixth,

(50:10):
You're like, what.

Speaker 31 (50:11):
All of this is a total abuse of power. It's
a manufactured emergency. If you wanted to see an emergency
in Washington, d C. That was back on January sixth,
twenty twenty one, when President Trump did nothing to deploy
the National Guard on time.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
See that's everything. How would you handle the economy? January sixth,
it's the only thing they have. They have anything else?
January sixth, Trump bad? January sixth bad. Great answer, that's
exactly how you handle everything. National Guards.

Speaker 32 (50:46):
There.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Interesting article yesterday I in the CNN talking about how
New Mexico. For those who don't know, Democrat Governor Michelle
Luhan Grisham, She's deployed the National Guard in New Mexico
over issues like rising crime because the cities there have said, hey,

(51:10):
we have rising crime, could you help us out? DC
though it's a mixed bag. Some people are upset about it,
some people are happy about it. It's not everywhere, but
it's enough that it has pissed a lot of people off.
Is it always a show with Trump? There's a lot
of good, but there is always a show. Let's be real.

Speaker 33 (51:29):
Local officials are saying, you know, there's no doubt that
our police force needs additional resources, and we will gladly
take them. But the question about the Guard in particular,
so far, what we've seen are you know a few
dozen of these personnel hanging out around Union Station, National Mall.
These are areas that you know, the National Mall in
particular is not a high crime ridden area.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
No, it's not. It's a look. Again. Trump loves the look.
He loves the conversation. He loves the fact that he's
doing something. He's showing off. Look at me, Look what
I'm doing here at strength.

Speaker 33 (52:05):
When you talk to the National Guard, they say, you know,
we're the Swiss Army knife of you know, military personnel,
and you call us up.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
We can do everything. Watch what we did in COVID.
We drove buses, and we.

Speaker 33 (52:14):
Can fill out paperwork and free up the law enforcement
to do anything that they need to be doing.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex your insta, YouTube,
and everything else right in the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 33 (52:29):
Their mission is very clear. It's just anything that law
enforcement needs at that time.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
And that's it. I mean, will they carry guns, won't
they carry guns? That's a big debate. I'm sure at
some point in time they'll figure that out and it'll
probably yes. But it's an overreaction to an overreaction, If
that makes sense. I know what I'm gonna get. So, Chad,
do you think they shouldn't have the National Guard there?

(52:54):
I don't live there. There's a lot of issues. A
lot of it is the homeless, right, there's a lot
that there are areas where there's crime and a lot
of it. Though to me, it's always overblown. Everything gets overblown.
We underplay a lot of the stuff that is important,
and we overreact to the stuff that isn't important. Yeah,

(53:20):
we'd like to have zero crime everywhere. I think we
can all agree on that. Would you like that? I would? Well,
we can't do that, okay. Is it at a thirty
year low? I don't know why. Because the guy who
does all the stuff right, all the dad and whatnot,
they put him on paid leave because he was fudging
the numbers allegedly, So what do I know. I know

(53:44):
the numbers seem to have been played with, and I'm
not sure how bad it really is. The police say,
we're happy for the help. And on the other side
of it, the people say it's not as bad as
you think. It's really a prospective issue. But there's no
doubt that this is something that Trump wanted to do,
and alas he's gone and done it, and there's an

(54:05):
overreaction by the media. Welcome to the world we live
in now. Overreaction. Monday three two three at Chad Benson
Shows Your Actual Ins Chad Benson.

Speaker 17 (54:15):
Show, Son Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Last how we played some of the former FBI director
James Comy and his love of the Swifties. I told
you just can play throughout the day because it's hilarious.
Here's some more of it, just doing his thing. First
of all, you got to make sure that you realize
that a lot of Trump's followers are evil and bad
in their meanings.

Speaker 18 (55:03):
You may have seen that the Governor of California has
been generating a lot of attention lately by posting on
social media in a satirical way where he mocks Donald
Trump and his all caps megalomania and his absurdity. And
I find it very funny, hilarious, even sometimes, but I
gotta be honest. It also leaves me with a strange

(55:23):
feeling at times, because I don't want us to become
like Trump and his followers. There are far more decent, honest,
kind people in America than there are mean jerks. Then,
don't get me wrong. We have our jerks, millions of them.
You may have noticed in particularly there's a stunning coarseness

(55:44):
and ugliness in the Republican Party today. It's upsetting, but
it's also a minority of America on the whole.

Speaker 8 (55:52):
We aren't like that, and we don't like that.

Speaker 18 (55:55):
I think that's a big part of the reason so
few Americans support Donald Trump when they have to see
him and that up close, and why Republicans are so
worried about what's coming for them next year.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
So again, this is about swifty stuff. He gets to
that right here.

Speaker 18 (56:12):
I really enjoy reading Arthur Brooks, who writes columns about
happiness in The Atlantic. I don't know if he's a swiftie,
but last week he wrote about research on the way
that being rude or snarky actually hurts the rude person.
As he wrote, when you become less polite, the alteration
in your conduct can make you less happy, more depressed,

(56:34):
and angrier about life. I know you get that even
without the research. Just watch Fox News or hang around
at X and you'll see what he means. We can't
stop people from being jerks. What we can do is
stop it from hurting us, from changing us. At my
second Taylor Swift concert in Hartford, Connecticut, fourteen years ago
this summer, she sang a song about this topic, asking

(56:58):
why you got to be so mean? She spoke directly
to the nasty people. I bet you got pushed around.
Somebody made you cold. But the cycle ends right now
because you can't leave me down that road. You'll be
glad I didn't sing that. That's right because down that
road is unhappiness. Nobody should have that power over us.

(57:18):
Thank you, Taylor Swift, Keep the faith.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
It's former EPI director. That's he. Yeah. I don't even
know what to say. It's thought. It was bizarre. Just
what what are you talking about? Why do you like
Taylor Swift?

Speaker 8 (57:35):
Well?

Speaker 2 (57:35):
Chat he can like to I get it, I get it,
but you're like, there's a difference between and if you
missed the first hour, go listen to it. It is
then we're gonna play some more of it later. Just
the whole thing's weird. The whole thing is weird. It is,
Oh my goodness me. Meanwhile, I said gen Z, we

(57:57):
get him lot of crap, right, the younger generation, and
we should, I joke all the time. You want your
car never to be stolen. Just make sure it's a stick.
Hold on a second, what they're learning what now?

Speaker 16 (58:11):
For generations, fish was the sound of real driving, shifting gears,
pressing the gas while releasing the clutch. A stick shift,
the standard for decades, became a calling card in the
early two thousands for cool cars, as seen in the
Fast and Furious franchise.

Speaker 19 (58:31):
Grandish shift and not double crutching like you should.

Speaker 16 (58:34):
Now, the old school manual transmission has become something of
a relic. Since twenty twenty, less than two percent of
all new car sales in the United States are stick shifts,
but like bell bottoms, flip phones, and vinyl records, old
classics often find their weight to young hands.

Speaker 11 (58:50):
You do feel like you're erase car drivers just moving
that shift around.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Yeah, you do. Sometimes I didn't because a lot of times,
depending on where you are, you're stuck in traffic and
that's not a fun race card to beand the one
that goes two miles an hour. I love a stick
and the younger generation doesn't know how to drive them.
They don't, they don't, but they're learning. Hell yeah they

(59:16):
are because it's fun. Right, Oh, it's neat, it's you
do feel kind of cool beans when you're driving that
cool beans. Way to go cheed.

Speaker 16 (59:25):
All those stick sales have been declining over the years.
The car market saw small bumps in both twenty twenty
three and twenty twenty five with interested gen zers. We
say they're tired of feeling distracted while they drive. I
think that this is a skill that everybody should have,
not only because it's something i've just in case, but also.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Make you a better driver in general.

Speaker 16 (59:44):
Twenty eight year old Lela dag is taking it a
step further. Perfect, She's taking lessons and I give it a.

Speaker 34 (59:51):
Little bit of guess there you go awesome.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
Her instructor.

Speaker 16 (59:55):
I'm at Raja, founder the Houston based Manual Driving Academy.
After about a twenty twelve Osdumyata two years ago and
had to teach himself how to drive it.

Speaker 34 (01:00:03):
I was like, oh, this was this was really cool.
It's such a it's such a simple thing, but it's
like this mechanical connection between you and your car. Clutch
and break perfect and then neutral, wiggle, wiggle perfect handbreak up,
clutch off awesome.

Speaker 16 (01:00:17):
Raja noticed that spiking manual sales back in twenty twenty three,
including research showing that sixty seven percent of eighteen to
thirty four year olds want to learn.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
That's great, my kids will learn. They're now of age
that they're going to learn this. Lily is super excited
about it. Jack is, he'll be fine, drives motorcycle. He's
cool with that stuff already. So but the part of
it is because it's an important thing to learn. I
still the girls out a specially if you need to

(01:00:47):
get away or something going to happen. Being able to
drive a stick because you just never know what may happen.
It's just the smart thing. Learning how to drive using
a stick is smart and it's fun now if you're
stuck in traffic. It's the reason I got rid of
my car. So I had an older car that was

(01:01:08):
my probably my favorite car I've had in a long time,
and I've had some really cool cars, but it was
just this cool, super dependable Saturn SUV called Black Betty,
and I loved having it. The issue was it was
tough because when I moved to Phoenix there was tons
of traffic, and I got rid of it a couple

(01:01:29):
months before the pandemic hit. Otherwise I would never have
had to get rid of it because guess what doesn't
happen when there's a pandemic traffic because everybody had to
stay home.

Speaker 34 (01:01:39):
Why don't we start this? Why can't this be a business.
So we initially started in Houston, got a lot of interest,
and then had folks reaching out from all over Texas,
other states, and then since then we've we've expanded.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
Nationwide on Madge Academy.

Speaker 16 (01:01:51):
Now when forty seven cities employing nearly two hundred instructors
teaching people all over the country how not to stall
out slow slow like well me, now, get off of
It's okay, that's okay. I'm from Detroit and my dad
was an engineer at Ford Motor Company for more than
forty years. But I haven't driven a manual in more

(01:02:11):
than twenty and it showed.

Speaker 34 (01:02:13):
Okay, that's okay, clutch all the way in. I think
I stalled you did stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:02:18):
Let's just say it's harder than it looks, but also
a lot more fun.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
How do you stall after not driving for twenty years?
It's like riding a bike. You know how to ride
a bike. It's not that hard. It's not. It really isn't.
Maybe for some people it is. I don't know, it
just really isn't.

Speaker 8 (01:02:37):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
How I learned because my dad had died. My mom
she got my car, and I learned by just doing it.
My mom says, I don't know how to do it.
My dad she goes. My dad wouldn't work with me.
She goes Grandpa. He had no patience for me. And
I said, okay, well I'll just figure it out. And
there was no YouTube or anything to go to to
go how exactly do you do this? So I just

(01:02:59):
went out out and just all right, you know, kind
of learned to tear out a little bit, you know,
get going and stuff. Because once I was in first,
once I got it going, it was easy. But you know,
it's kind of like swimming. After you know, five six
times around the block, I was like, okay, I kind
of got this and away I went. It is fascinating though,

(01:03:21):
that we just decided, Hey, we're not going to do
this anymore because automatics they're easier to drive. But the
younger generation, you know, he brought up bell bottomsis down
the other you hear what else final, It's another big
thing the kids are doing. They love themselves some Vinyl,
no doubt about it. We've been playing this throughut the
day and I'm going to continue to play it because
I think it sums up a lot of what's going

(01:03:43):
on in America right now. And I will continue to
play this because I think this lady speaks for a
lot of America. A lot of you have text me
and stuff. I said, I feel that lady's pain.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
He TikTok.

Speaker 11 (01:03:53):
I'm just on here wondering if anybody's feeling the same
way I'm feeling. I'm from Illinois, and I feel like
the gas prices and the electric bills and the prices
of food is just so overwhelming anymore. Like I'm wondering
if anybody else is feeling like they're drowning and they

(01:04:13):
can't get out. I work over time and I cannot
get above water. I mean, I literally have no gas
for next week. It was either that or get a
few groceries to get by. I hit my local food banduries.
I'm just wondering if anybody else feels like they're drowning.

(01:04:38):
But anyway, I hope everybody has a great day.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Number one thing in America is still the economy. People
are struggling. Feels like the people in the upper are
doing sh just fine. People in the middle and the
lower are struggling, and they're feeling it in a major way.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
They're back?

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Maybe kind of sort of? Could we get some movement
when it comes to redistricting in In Texas.

Speaker 35 (01:06:29):
Governor Greg Abbott said Friday.

Speaker 25 (01:06:31):
Every strategy is at play, depends on when and whether
the Democrats show up.

Speaker 35 (01:06:36):
Those Democrats who left the state to block the redistricting
plans could show up today and if they're enough for
a quorum and Republicans move forward with plans to redraw
state congressional maps. California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is vowing
to counter. He wants a special election in his state
to help Democrats flip five of nine remaining Republican districts.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
So how serious, says he? And by he, I mean
Gavin Newsom. He's got an ad? What he's got an ad?
There's an ad out like he's running against a politician
in a race for president, maybe even though Trump's not

(01:07:19):
running in twenty eight and I will continue to say that. Yeah,
check this out.

Speaker 13 (01:07:23):
Wake up America, Wake up to what Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 8 (01:07:30):
Here.

Speaker 13 (01:07:31):
He is once again trying to rig the system. He
doesn't believe in the rules. We can't stand back and
watch this democracy disappear district by district.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
We have got to meet fire with fire. We're asking
the voters for their.

Speaker 13 (01:07:46):
Consent to do mid term redistricting to level the playing
field all across the United States.

Speaker 14 (01:07:53):
On November four, you have the power to stand up
to Trump. Donald Trump, you have poked the bear and we.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Will plunch back.

Speaker 8 (01:08:03):
This is a serious moment.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
Wake it up, America, Wake up. This is insane. Should
piss us all off, though all kidding aside, this should
piss us off more than anything else. We know that
we can redistrict it so the other side of the

(01:08:25):
aisle has zero chance of winning. We have put it
into a position where we know now exactly how to
do this in such a way that we limit the
other side as far as their voice goes, even though
in these states there are voters that didn't vote on

(01:08:46):
our side of the aisle to the tune in some
cases where they're talking about doing all of this forty
plus percent, but we're going to give them zero representation.
We know the system is so easily rigged that we
can do that. Oh doesn't that make you feel good? No,

(01:09:07):
it doesn't. Pishes me off, piss us all off. Which
brings us to this something we enjoy doing each and
every single day. It helps make you a better person,
Like it helps me become a better person. It allows
me to understand exactly what's going on in the world.
We simply know this as our urban word of the day.
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

(01:09:30):
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 or phrase
of the day. Remember, we do this each and every
single day. We want you to feel like you can
converse with the utes of America. This one I love.

(01:09:52):
I hear this a lot. My buddy Chris, who's on
locally before me, says, here for this, I'm here for this.
So it's excited about something showing support. So I'm gonna
use it in a sentence. You're an amazing artist. I
love it. I love what you did right there. I'm

(01:10:15):
here for this. Here for this. Okay, here for this
is your urban word of the day. That was the
urban word of the day. Now, you know, the more
you know is the more you know. And we got
a lot to know about if you know what I mean.

(01:10:38):
Oh man, frustrated a lot? Are you chiming in though?
About the kids driving the sticks? I think it's funny
the fact that I didn't well, I didn't even know
they made sticks anymore. It's almost like you have to
order them special if you didn't hear. We just did
a story a little while ago about how gen Z

(01:10:59):
is trying to learn how to drive a stick shift,
which is fascinating because everybody that's my age. I don't
know too many people who don't know how to drive
a stick and driving a stick it's kind of like
riding a bike. You get in there, you exactly what
you're doing Oh, I meant I had a stick. It
was awesome about six years ago. And my wife's like,

(01:11:22):
you need a better car than that, and I'm like, now,
I like my car, this old Saturn called the Black Betty, Oh,
Black Betty. It was just awesome. It was an suv.
But the one thing about sticks that suck, and I
tell everybody this is traffic. And when I'd moved out

(01:11:42):
to Phoenix, traffic was gnarly and then COVID hit and
we had sold it probably three months before COVID hit.
Otherwise I would never have to worry because it was
never any traffic. Again, very frustrated and missed my stick.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, is your ex your Insta, YouTube

(01:12:07):
and Facebook. We will be live tonight right around seven
o'clock Central, make that eight o'clock on the East Coast.
If you have a chance, make sure you join us.
We really appreciate that right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up our number three. A lot of good stuff
still to get to, more on Israel and what's going
on over there and the nightmare that is manded that

(01:12:28):
I get attacked over the weekend on several occasions. Very
interesting though. I feel like the more I get attacked
on stuff like this, the more I feel like I'm
in a position that and this is by the way,
this is not about winning an argument. This is about humanity.
We're also going to talk a lot about obviously the
big meeting today. Tweeted it out. You think Silsy's gonnare
a tie today? Oh, I think you probably. I think
you probably will as well, although having him flanked by

(01:12:51):
some of the Europeans I think will be a helper.
We'll see how this thing goes. We've got a lot
of other stuff. What's trending this day in history, among
other things. You mis seen the show Shame On, You've
got the podcast our three of the programs should have
had chat Benson job.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
I have been playing this sound by all day long.
This is a woman who is frustrated the way things
are going, who is at her wits end, who is
struggling to make ends meet, who is absolutely I mean
you could hear it in her voice. She is frustrated
and scared and feels like she's about to give up.

(01:13:55):
Wants to know if anybody out there feels like she does.

Speaker 11 (01:14:00):
Hey, TikTok, I'm just on here wondering if anybody's feeling

(01:14:22):
local food banduries. I'm just wondering if anybody else feels

(01:14:45):
like they're drowning. But anyway, I hope everybody has a
great day.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
All of the other crap that's going on right now globally,
and let's be real, million people killed or injured in
what is happening in Ukraine and Russia, untold, thousands upon
thousands of death and starvation and injuries. What it's going
on in Gaza, the hostages still not back. War is

(01:15:16):
still raging issues globally when it comes to stuff that's
happening in Africa, other parts of Middle East like Yemen
and whatnot. But for the average American, that right there
is what matters. But the average American, that's the number
one thing for the average American. They are looking around going,
I am not feeling what I thought was going to

(01:15:39):
be something better. You know when I I remember, you
know Katis and I we would do a food bank.
And out here in Nashville, I we do some stuff
with the homeless shelter here. I will tell you this
right now, when we talk about the food banks, you
go see who's in line. Everybody thinks that they're all homeless,
they got nothing. No, it's working men and women who

(01:15:59):
were struggling day to day, working men and women who
are trying to feed their family and see that life
is getting away from them. That is who is in line.
People are frustrated. They don't feel like it's getting any better.
And it wasn't gonna get better overnight. It wasn't. But
you do understand, for all the other stuff that the

(01:16:20):
world is facing, the average American isn't thinking right now
about what's happening in Ukraine. The average American right now
isn't thinking about what's going on in gazap because they're
trying to pay their bills. Not that we shouldn't think
about those things because we're a part of it, especially
when it comes to things like Ukraine and gazip because

(01:16:42):
let's be honest, we are funding a lot of this,
and yet I look out there and what do we
have homeless? That crisis is real. You've got issues when
it comes to people falling further and further behind on
all of their debt, the rising cost of life, and

(01:17:06):
if your world is rising with it, right, so your
pay is keeping ahead of it, well then it doesn't matter.
But people aren't feeling it. They're looking and going, I
hear that stuff's coming down. I don't see it coming down.
I don't feel it coming down. What I do feel
is life's getting further and further away from me as

(01:17:28):
far as affordability, and that frustration level is up to
here with a lot of people. And I thought that
woman said what so many people I hear every day say.
And they're frustrated and looking around going, wow, we're spending
tons of money all over the place. Yeah we are.

(01:17:50):
We need to spend it better. We do, we do?
And this administration understands that this is truly what it's
all about, affordability, opportunity and affordability, and that will decide
what happens next year at the ballot box. All the

(01:18:12):
other stuff is truly just noise, right DC. And what's
going on there? Oh my god, what's going on? It's
an authoritarian move. He's here to crush everybody's soul. You
know whatever, Get over no, what is going on in
your checking account? Are you falling further behind? Are you

(01:18:34):
robbing Peter? Then found out that Peter has nothing, you
go over to see what Paul has. He ain't got squat,
He was just getting ready to rob you. Now you
got to go over to Mary. She wasn't even involved
in this. And you know what, Mary got nothing either.
You've run her out of Peter. Paul and Mary frustrating,

(01:18:57):
super frustrating. And it doesn't mean we don't pay attention
to the other things. What's going on today at the
White House is absolutely important because there are a million
plus people that have been injured or killed in what
is happening in Ukraine and Russia. Will something take place

(01:19:18):
today that's going to change everything? I have no idea
is it a possibility that something's going to come out
of it that's going to change this it is. It's
not going to be overnight. Think about the money we spent,
not just here but Israel. We'll get to Israel a
little bit later, because there's a lot that goes on
with that, as you guys know, because I get yelled
at by a lot of you. But that being said,

(01:19:41):
we do need to pay attention to stuff that happens
globally because it does affect us and it affects our
wallet as a nation.

Speaker 36 (01:19:48):
President Trump is now putting pressure on Ukraine's President Zolenski,
writing on social media Sunday that Zulinski could quote end
the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to,
even though it was Russia that started the world we're
in twenty twenty two. During his summit with President Putin
ended with no ceasefire agreement and no peace deal. Zelenski
will be joined by several key European leaders from France, Germany,

(01:20:10):
the UK, Italy, Finland and NATO, a significant show of
support for Ukraine amid the push to end the war.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
He could, but he can't. If that makes sense when
it comes to what Zelensky can and can't do. The
reality is he can't give up the land for peace
based on the Constitution. There's stuff they have to go
through before they can do that, that includes a referendum
and whatnot. But to come to an end here, we're

(01:20:41):
gonna have to be serious about what's going to have
to happen. And this isn't going to be an overnight
situation where tomorrow everybody wakes up and this is fixed.
That's just not gonna happen. It isn't. You can pretend
that it's going to happen. It isn't. It takes a while.
There needs to be some security issues dealt with, and

(01:21:03):
that's probably the biggest issue of all of these things.
It's a security issue. But Friday watching the people on
the left celebrate in a weird way a deal not
getting done, which again fascinates me because I know I've
said there was never going to be a deal done.

(01:21:24):
I said there was never going to be any kind
of of agreement come to as far as the ceasefire,
and it's just that wasn't going to happen. At best,
it would have been a pause for twenty four to
forty well No, it was just it was never going
to happen. You have to have Zelensky there, you have
to have the whole crew there. The goal is get
Zelenski and the peoter in the room. Well, Chad Trump

(01:21:49):
now has given Pooter what he wanted. He got everything
he wanted. What did he get did he wanted out
of Curio? Well, he got a He got a giant hue,
huge summit in America, embarrassing us. Why are you embarrassed?
What would you like him to do? Well, he got

(01:22:10):
the red carpet again, What was it that you thought
he should have done? Because the last's goal is just
never talk to him, spend billions of dollars on funding
a war that is killing tens of thousands of people
of months and wounding god knows how many for what.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
That meeting was a disaster. It was an embarrassment for
the United States. It was a failure. Putin got everything
he wanted. I mean, first of all, he wanted that
photo op right, he wanted to be absolved of his
war crimes in front of the world.

Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
He was invited to the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
War criminals are not normally invited to the United States
of America. He is intentionally murdering civilians, he's kidnapping children,
and now he got to stand next to the President
of the United States, legitimized in the view of the world. Second,
he didn't have to give up anything, nothing right. President
Trump said he wanted a ceasefire. It appears the ceasefire
wasn't even seriously discussed. And then third, there's no consequences.

(01:23:13):
Trump said, if I don't get a ceasefire, Putin's going
to pay a price. And then he walked to that
out of that meeting saying, I didn't get a ceasefire,
I didn't get a piece deal, and I'm not even
considering sanctions. You heard Secretary Rubio downplay sanctions, and so
Putin walks away with his photo op with zero commitments
made and zero consequences.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
What a great day for Russia.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
No, it wasn't a great day. I mean, everybody could
celebrate it. What was exactly supposed to happen. I'm just
I'm still asking the question, how do you negotiate with
somebody If you won't be in the same room with them,
and you won't talk to them, and you won't meet
with them, how does that work? Sometimes the best thing
to do is get everybody out of the way and go. Now.

(01:23:59):
That was Chris Murphy, Democrat from Connecticut. This is what
he said, because you know, should never meet with war criminals.
I attended Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech because it's part of
my job to engage with foreign leaders who make their
case before Congress, even if I disagree with him. Wait
a minute, I thought you didn't yet. No, you do

(01:24:19):
when it is necessary for you and you're backing, but
not when it comes to something that may actually end something.
Because the last thing, it's bizarre to think this, the
last thing that the left wants, which is so weird,
is Trump in their mind to get a victory by
stopping a war. Rather than saying, thank God, the war's done,

(01:24:43):
thank God it's over, thank God that lives now will
be spared. Instead it's oh darn, my team didn't get
this win. What a bunch of ass hats? Three two, three, five,

a girl in Gaza Amid starving, accusations they killed her.

(01:27:23):
Says you're in her desert Wigot. She was hit by
a bomb. So if you're saying she's starving, I think
that's a lie. That's kind of the stuff that's going
on over there. Gemity Cricket and I've heard from a

She's a Russian Universe pageant contest was killed by an

definitely trending tropical storm, hurricane, hurricane, tropical storm either way,
she's a moving.

Speaker 38 (01:29:36):
We have tropical storm warnings for the Turks and Caicos
heading into the Bahamas.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Warm water likely strengthens back into a four.

Speaker 8 (01:29:43):
Either way.

Speaker 38 (01:29:43):
It's a very strong and powerful storm that does stay
away from land shoots the gap between the outer Banks
and Bermuda. That is the best possible scenario for a
storm of this magnitude to take.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Got up to a five over the weekend. But Puerto Rico,
could you get some Puerto.

Speaker 39 (01:29:58):
Rico and the Virgin Islands are being it with strong
winds and heavy rains as Aarin, the first Atlantic hurricane
of the twenty twenty five season, churns offshore. The storm
had quickly reached category five strength on Saturday before weakening.
Overnight wind speeds may have degrees, but Aaron has grown
in size, and while it is forecast to stay out

(01:30:18):
in the Atlantic, Aaron's effects will still be felt along
the East Coast.

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
Lots of rain and riptides and whatnot.

Speaker 33 (01:30:25):
Personally, I'm not a really strong swimmer, so if there
was anything like that, I would not be in the water.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Good And you should probably not be in the water
if you're really not a strong swimmer just because the
ocean had suffers. Well, it's nature and as we all know, kids,
nature can do. What can mess you up? Mess you up?
three at Chad Benson Show, is your Ax, your insta, YouTube,
Facebook and more coming up? A lot of stuff to
get to, some on Israel, some on Rush, a bunch

(01:30:53):

This is the Chad Benson Show, Oh Sun Chat Benson.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Bill Maher and Chris
Pratt and politics, you inherit enemies and when you jump
on on you know.

Speaker 8 (01:31:30):
The the.

Speaker 32 (01:31:31):
Bandwagon with who is you know, the most divisive president. Ever,
it makes sense that you're going to be made to
look terrible, and so I don't know what to believe,
because it's not like I sitting with Bobby and I
go say, hey, let's talk about this. Let's talk about
It's like we're just playing cards or playing mafia, or
having fun or having dinner. I'm not going to pick
his brain to find out exactly which of those things

(01:31:52):
are true. I just kind of assume that none of
them are. And for the most part, I wish him well.

Speaker 4 (01:31:57):
Man.

Speaker 32 (01:31:57):
I hope there's certain things that he overseas that seem
to be supported in a bipartisan way, Like getting terrible
toxic stuff out of our kids food. I think that's
a great thing, and so just if you just do that,
that's amazing. I'd hate to be so mired and hatred
for the President that any success from his administration is

(01:32:17):
something I'd be have an allergic reaction to be like, oh, well,
if they do it, I don't want it to happen.
I'll feed my I'll put Claroks in my children's cereal myself.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
You know, it's say, come on, I have some be
reasonable here. There's certain things that would be a good
thing to have. I want them all to be successful.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
That right, there is spot on. There are people out there,
like we said earlier, that want Trump to fail in
the peace process because it could show everybody that Trump
was right, he could get to peace and that their
team wouldn't score points. This isn't about you and your politics.
This is about human beings on the ground. It's like

(01:32:56):
the people that wish that the others would have a
massive recession so their team could win something. We're all
wearing the same damn uniform, idiots, So it's crazy. That's
where we are. That's where we are in the politics

(01:33:16):
of today. We are I hope the other side fails
so that way my side looks like they won. That's
like saying, and I've used this ANALOGI a thousand times,
you hope this pilot crashes the plane the eeron. Therefore,
on the way down into the ground or the ocean,
you could see I told you so. Oh my, oh,

(01:33:42):
jimminy cricket, homeless people, what this is funny. It's not funny,
but it is funny watching some of the people that
are so upset about Trump and is crack down on crime,
which is another one of the things that they're just
losing their mind over the left. Am I thrilled by it?

Speaker 8 (01:33:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
Do I want it to spread any far there? No,
And I'm not touched talking about crime. I don't think
Trump should go into any of these cities if they,
you know, de side, oh LA's too much out of control.
We're gonna have to do what we're gonna have to bring.
I don't want militarization on our streets. And for those
of you not keeping score, in New Mexico, there are

(01:34:20):
two cities that currently have the Guard, the National Guard
there because crime was out of control, and they asked
the governor, a Democrat. Nobody's talking about it, could you
get the Guard in here? Now? The Guard's helping out there,
facilitating do a lot of the back end work, transportation
and whatnot. But they asked for it. Nary a word
from anybody, but Trump's doing it. So it's got to

(01:34:41):
be evil. And yes, some of it is about the homeless.
But this is a guy who was out there, and
there's this lady walking around the bullharms screaming and yelling
because you know how evil the National Guard is all
I don't even know how many are there at this
moment in time. And then he talks to the homeless
people about like where you guys are, rat what they
do to you? Be careful everybody, these two are.

Speaker 19 (01:35:05):
Oh god, this lady just came out of absolutely nowhere.
She started yelling all sorts of things. She didn't even
know what that guy got arrested for. Meanwhile, as we
were walking, I'll show you guys right now, we walked
past a bunch.

Speaker 4 (01:35:16):
Of homeless people.

Speaker 19 (01:35:18):
They weren't arresting just the homeless people. They could have
came by and taken the homeless people off, like who
has been saying, But no, they arrested the guy that
was selling the drugs to the homeless people.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
What no way? Really, Yeah, we want the homeless off
the street. Some of them are look, a vast majority
of them are mentally ill. We understand that drugs play
a massive role in that. What you know, chicken and
chicken and egg. What came first? Was it mental illness
followed by the masking of what was going on mentally
with drugs? Or was it so much drugs that you've

(01:35:48):
become mentally unstable? Either or there are serious issues out
there and we need to deal with them, and everybody's
like Trump's just gonna sweep him and put them up somewhere. Yeah. Probably,
And we need to do a better job, and we
need to find a way that we addressed this in
a very real way, not one of those half assed ways.

(01:36:08):
Were like, it's a lifestyle it's not a lifestyle choice.
Watching people crap on the street is not a lifestyle
choice for them, and it shouldn't be a lifestyle choice
that we're forced to accept for the rest of us.

Speaker 19 (01:36:20):
Have they came by and trying to take you guys
off the streets, they may respect they've been respectful. Well
that's good to hear, because they just took off a
drug dealer from the streets.

Speaker 9 (01:36:29):
That's all they want. Already wanted the drug dealers off
the street and the people who die. That's all they want.

Speaker 8 (01:36:34):
One day.

Speaker 9 (01:36:34):
They're not trying to go up with the homeless. They
want the drug dealers and the guns off the street.

Speaker 4 (01:36:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:36:39):
I can't tell anybody that, but they already wanted the
guns and a drug They already found it out. They
came to jump out, jump out the same way. Already
wanted the guns or the drugs up the street.

Speaker 19 (01:36:48):
So what has the law enforcement said to you guys
coming through here, Because that lady just came here. She
was yelling on all the police. But meanwhile we just
saw them arrest a drug dealer and she's yelling saying
they're taking away the homeless people.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
They didn't say anything to you, but I thought they
were going to beat you and take away in a
Patty wager.

Speaker 40 (01:37:01):
They didn't say anything. They walked by respectfully. They didn't
give anybody any issues. I don't have a problem law enforcement.

Speaker 19 (01:37:07):
And should you'll be angry that they just took a
drug yill out the street.

Speaker 40 (01:37:10):
No, it shouldn't be. I'm happy that DC is being
cleaned though, and I'm not gonna blame it on racism
or anything.

Speaker 19 (01:37:16):
Did that lady wake you up?

Speaker 40 (01:37:18):
Of course, it's a disturbance because she was provoking on purpose.
And you know, you always got people out here. They
say they're for a cause, but I mean, it's it's
almost eleven o'clock at night. It's very peaceful. The police
don't have sirens born or anything else, and they were
just decently speaking with people. But there's always people that
will try to cause a problem deliberately.

Speaker 19 (01:37:40):
Well we hope you have the great rest of your
night and fall sing.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
Well, I hope so too.

Speaker 40 (01:37:43):
I hope she doesn't come back on that blowpark.

Speaker 2 (01:37:47):
Yeah, they were pissed because they were all trying to
rest and sleep and she's running up and down screaming
because she's an activist. She's not interested in helping these people.
She's stepping over them and she's screaming at them because
it's about resistance. I must resist. If you want to resist,
figure out what you can do to help. Hope the

(01:38:07):
people get off the street. Well, but isn't that wouldn't
that be better? No, there's no money in that. Well,
there is money if you know about the homeless industrial complex,
but as an individual, if you're just trying to help somebody,
there's money for your soul, but no money for any
of the other things. Ah, I see, I see, I see.

(01:38:31):
And the National Guard is there. Let's be real, they are.
Am I a fan of it? We'll see what it
looks like. Will they carry guns? Won't they carry guns?
What does this look like at the end? They're not
trained as police officers, but they're there, and this is
you know, everybody's like, this is a test case test
case of what Trump has the right to do this.

(01:38:54):
He's going to get a lot of pushback if he
tries to go into other parts without the governor or,
without you know, saying hey, look, you're going to have
to help us out. And when I talk about well
the governor can deploy the National Guard, yes they can,
but you know what else, the governor can also ask Trump, Hey,
we need some help here. Could you help the FBI

(01:39:16):
come over here and do a surge with us, because
that's a lot of what goes on is the surge
in certain areas, just like we saw it with ISIS
and whatnot, a massive surge put people on the back
foot and then try to clean up an area. So
the national Guard they can take care of the governor.
But could Trump try to order something, Well, we're going

(01:39:37):
to find that out, no doubt about that. Speaking of
ISIS and whatnot. A lot of blowback over the fact
that everybody's like, you support Hamas and Palestine. I support
human beings, That's what I support. I see what's going
on over there, and I am not a fan of it,

(01:39:58):
first of all, being an out our name for the
most part, right being pushed by Wackado's here run by
a APAC, which should be a foreign lobbying group. I
am not a fan of any of what is happening
over there right now. And this is you know, you

(01:40:18):
can't have nuance is So it's so interesting because you
can't have a real conversation with people when it comes
to Israel, because people are so they've been fed such
a load of crap their entire lives. What is going
on over there is absolute crap. It is vile, and

(01:40:40):
I don't want it done in my name. And if
Israel wants to go about doing this and isolating themselves
from the rest of the world, then that's what they've
got to do. I continue to say, you know who's
really a friend of Israel? Me, Well, how are you
a friend? Because I'm telling them what they need to hear,
not what they want to hear. What they need to
hear is they're losing, not the proper again to war.

(01:41:01):
The reality of what you're doing is so wrong and
people aren't getting behind you at all.

Speaker 4 (01:41:06):
War.

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
You may win that war where you go over and
you decide where you're gonna take everything over In Gaza,
We're gonna own everything where you're gonna keep it here,
We're gonna make it. You may win that. But this
generation that's coming up is not about what is happening.
A lot of Gen xers have woken up, even yes

(01:41:29):
some baby boomers who are saying, you know, maybe this
isn't right. We'll talk a little bit more about this tomorrow,
because man if I get blasted on a daily basis,
and I'm willing to take it, because I am a
person who looks around and says we should be peacemakers,
and this has nothing to do with peace at all.
