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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
We have a problem. It's simple. It's not guns, by
the way, I mean are there are way too many guns.
We have more guns than we have people think about that.
The problem is we have a mental illness problem in
this country. Other nations have guns, they don't have what
we have. So if other nations have guns and don't

(00:35):
have what we have, so we've got them, they've got them,
then there's something going on that has nothing to do
with the guns. It's the people. And yesterday shooting is
a perfect example of somebody who is mentally deranged, un hinged.
And I'm talking out there, out there his manifesto. It's

(00:59):
a cheech, it's a whatever it is. And I won't
use the name because I don't want to glorify that
was also one of the things that nobody's talking about.
This bizarre world that these mentally ill people worship at
the altar of some of these other school shooters, not

(01:26):
so much mass shooters, but school shooters in particular, is
also frightening it on its guns in its video because
unlike many of the other mass shooters, where they leave
breadcrumbs and not so much clues, this guy left everything
a video, a manifesto. I mean, there was no we're

(01:50):
gonna have to wait nine months to find out what's
in it manifesto. Put it out there for the world
to read, and it was deranged. Thought it had cancer
because it was vaping. What had this in its mind
for years? Felt bad? Wanted everybody to know, Hey, tell family,

(02:13):
tell everybody. I apologize to the victims. Also wanted to
apologize to his family because he knew this was going
to ruin their life and they're probably going to lose
their jobs and they're probably going to want to change
their name. I mean, unhinged what I could do, and
in my business, you know, the media, the easiest thing

(02:33):
to do is go, it's a transpersons to transperson's great Now,
this person had mental illness. There's no doubt but to say,
everybody whose trans is mentally ill. We can have the
debate that they're you know, with body dysmorphy and stuff,
that there's some issues going on there. But was this
the sole reason? I mean, this bizarre world where we

(02:55):
want to keep score on well, this person's transit for
every trans person is bad, you know, I just to me,
I find it. It's a tiresome, boring argument. And if
you want clickblake bite, which is many people that's all
they care about, then let it be. Could it have
played a role? It's possible. Is the anger and hate

(03:18):
inside of this person that's now gone because that person
no longer exists. Was that driven because they were pissed
and angry about who they were born as? Again possible.
But to paint the entire everybody who's trans is evil, No,
I think a lot of people have been taken advantage
of I think the movement was out of control. It

(03:39):
continues to be so. I think they've messed with kids.
I think there's a lot of things that we could
talk about, and we have talked about on the show.
But that's what it ends up becoming. You're a trans
person who hates God. And listen, this person hated God,
hated the Jews, hated Donald Trump, hated apparently I mean,

(04:00):
and but then you start to go, Okay, is this
just somebody who wants to put a bunch of things
out there to make it seem like that they were
all of this? I don't know. Mentally, ill though I
think from the writings not so much on the on
the guns because there was writing on the guns, but
the writings inside of the manifesto say a lot. And
then there's the other question about the mental illness side.

(04:22):
I mean, they've got a pretty strong red flag law
in Minnesota, and nobody knew dude had just recently purchased
the guns. Nobody knew he was spinning, nobody knew that
there were serious issues that nobody did not a soul.

(04:46):
I mean, nobody, nobody went. I think he's starting to
lose it. I think maybe it's time to tell mom dad,
and then we should see if we can get some help,
because he's starting to sound like Kisa, you know, gonna
do you something.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Nobody really first question you had to ask is why
did it happen. I don't think it happened because of guns.
I think it happened because somebody who was clearly suffering
from severe mental illness.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Had access to That's what allow them to carry out.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
A terrible well and the mental illness was.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Encouraged. But Scott, what about people who don't.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Have mental around this issue? And when you look at
the messages that were written in some of the materials
and all the weapons that we've seen, I mean, this
person obviously was in a dark, dark place.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
I want to know obvious.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I'm not sure the government is in that person's life enough. No,
but his parents are.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
What about Scott?

Speaker 4 (05:46):
What about people who don't have mental illness? We have
a huge gun violence issue here in the United States,
own league, but.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
The issue today is quite obviously mental illness.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
And I.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
The gun. It still leaves the gun. But somebody who's
mentally ill isn't going to pick up a gun and
start firing at everybody. I mean, that's kind of the
way that goes. And this is what it's become. So
for the left it's it's it's guns, too many guns,
too many guns. For the right, it's the trans and
mental illness, saying how about person was wacky, and yes,

(06:24):
people who are wacky shouldn't have access to guns. I've
yet to find somebody who is a two A lover.
I love the two A second Amendment. I've yet to
find a human being that's like, hey, you know, it
would be great if wackadoo's had access to killing machines. No,

(06:44):
nobody thinks that way. Everybody on the on the left
thinks that. Everybody who supports the second Amendment and believes
in the rights and the right to bear arms, the
right to have guns. Thinks that no matter who that
person is, how deranged they are, that they should have
access to guns. And that's not true. None of that

(07:07):
is true. I've yet to find somebody who thinks that's good.
And if you take away and I've always said this,
you know, it's like, well, first of all, he had
a shotgun, he had rifle, he had other guns at
his house, he had handguns. You're trying to fix something
that is that's in the past, So it's already happened.

(07:31):
What can we learn from this to try to stop
it in the future. Well, at this point in time,
for the most part, all we ever see is a
spectator sport rubbernecking. Because the debate happens about guns, It
happens about trans it happens about mental illness, it happens
about racism, whatever it is. Those are individuals that need

(07:55):
to be identified sooner and dealt with sooner because the
guns still going to be there. You take away the guns.
And this guy wanted to drive a car into a
crowd of kids, he could have done it. Are you
going to take away cars from people. No, if he
would have went online figured out how to build a bomb,

(08:17):
are you going to go Well, people can't go online now,
crazy will find a way. And yes, there are too
many guns that people have access to. Who shouldn't I
think everybody agrees with that. But the answer isn't take

(08:37):
away everybody's guns because that'll make us all safer. Why
do law abiding citizens who've done nothing wrong have to
suffer because somebody who's elevator no longer goes to the top,
thinks he's a she also believes that they're dying of

(08:58):
cancer that didn't exist with the vape that they were doing.
I mean, this person was all over the place. You
could tell how off they were. It's a pretty sick
individual that does what this person did. But people are

(09:22):
more interested in today's world in scoring a point in
a sound bite than what can we do, especially with
modern technology AI things of these nature, that we can
start to cultivate a real plan where we start identifying
sooner who maybe a person who, while not today dangerous,

(09:47):
in the future, absolutely could be. I don't know, but
scoring points and you know, sound bites, that's not going
to fix it. It's not. And to think that everybody
who owns guns thinks that crazy people should have guns,
because otherwise you take their guns away as silly. They

(10:09):
don't like it either. Do you think they love waking
up every day? If you love guns? Oh you love guns?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
If you love guns and you believe in the Second Amendment,
do you think they love to wake up and go? Okay,
now I gotta go defend this. I don't want to
defend this. This is indefensible. The person's indefensible, the act
is indefensible. The gun itself is a tool that they used.

(10:36):
It has no feelings, it has nothing. It is an
inanimate object until somebody makes it an object that kills.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show, is Your Acts, Your Insta, YouTube,
Facebook and more. A lot of stuff to get to today.

(10:57):
Some interesting stuff stuff about Israel. We've got stuff about
parenting which is very interesting at John Stoss Report that
I found very fascinating. We've got this day at History
of Buddy. Jim Kennedy's going to join us a little
bit later, talk about the Big Gamble with Gavenusom and
redistricting and how if he was to lose November what
this could potentially do for his run to the presidency

(11:19):
talk about that as well, among other things, and of course,
you know, more laughter and hilarity because that's what we
do here. But first webroot do not leave the computer
without it. Huh. Webroot is amazing. And I say that
because do not leave the computer out. It sounds like
if you leave the house, right, you're not going to
leave without your insurance for your car and make sure
you're buckling yourself up. You need that protection. Webroot provides

(11:41):

(13:11):
Grand Opening, Grand Closing, Welcome to Alligator Alcatraz.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
Florida's controversial immigration detention center dubbed Alligator Alcatraz maybe empty
within days, just two months after it opened at an
estimated four hundred million dollar cost to American taxpayers, Governor
Ron DeSantis stating that numbers are lower due to DHS deportations.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
You know, the deportations are continuing.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
DHS is taking people out of there, and they're moving
them out.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Last week, a federal judge in Miami ordered the detention
center to one down operations, State officials appealing the decision.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Wow, what that cost us? Well, let's take a look
at that, shall we? What this little stunt cost us? Now?
I don't know if they're going to keep it open
or not. I don't know how that's going to work.
I will tell you this, there's a good chance of
people that may be donated to Ron, the centus and
a few others probably got paid. When you think about
the ROI, I would love to see what the ROI is,

(14:08):
and we should do that. I'm gonna look that up
a little bit on donors and dollars to politicians. So
just like you make an investment, So you go and
you invest in Nvidia, right, and for every dollar you
put in, what's your return on investment in that? For
every dollar I put into a Ron DeSantis, what's my

(14:28):
return on investment? When it comes to and I'm not
just talking about somebody who donates ten bucks to to
you know, to a cause or to a politician. I'm
talking about people who really invest help get them on
the ballot, help get them through the primaries into the
general and onto DC or state capital. And you're holding

(14:51):
dinners and fundraisers. What's that ROI just I think it's
a curious thing because I'm looking at this. Two hundred
and forty five million dollars were signed over in state
contracts to set up the facility, two hundred and forty
five dollars a day to maintain the facility per customer.
Should I say customer s way, they should treat it welcome.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
Those being held there are now being transferred and state
officials requested more time from the judge, arguing that other
detention centers are overcrowded, but the judge last night refused to.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Delay her order.

Speaker 8 (15:25):
Now the government is now waiting for an appeals court's
away in. In the meantime, Alligator Alcatraz is being vacated.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
If I'm correct, I think there is one person left
in Alligator Alcatraz three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at chadmentson shows, your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more right here at the Chad Benson Show. And
by the way, Trump doing well when it comes to

(15:54):
deportations comparatively to what we saw the last administration, But
still can we not do everything in a way that
is very show busy just asking for a friend and
the rest of us. And I was joking earlier, but
I am going to do that throughout the day. I'm
going to find the best ROI for your money, and politicians,

(16:21):
I mean, two hundred and forty five million dollars for
this facility, and what do you have for it? Nothing.
You've got to run out there and say, look how
great we are. And everybody championed it, and it was great,
and we're going to show these people that are here
illegally you better watch out. And now you spent you know,
quarter of a billion dollars and what do you have.

(16:42):
You've got an empty facility that's going to cost another
fifteen million to tear down. And we'll dig deeper into
some of these companies, like one of the companies CRS
Critical Response Strategies. A lot of them were set up
in and around the time of COVID because they went

(17:06):
they set these things up and then they went and
helped with COVID, like distributing things, and they charged the
government a crap ton of money and Valla everybody gets rich.
And then you find out that somebody's wife is on
the board of one of these companies and gets an
X amount of dollars a year. That's that that's crony
capitalism at its ugliest. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(17:28):
twenty four twenty three. At Chat Benson shows your acts,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. This is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 9 (17:34):
Show, Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Does Trump want to be king? You know what I
think if he got the opportunity, he would be king.
He wants to be not a dictator. What he wants
to be is the ultimate ruler, but a democracy. He
doesn't want to be a dictator in the sense where
he wants to crack down. He wants to have he

(18:25):
wants to have the ultimate voting right. Think of it
as a boardroom. You need fifty point one percent of
voting shares to be able to essentially control where the
company goes. Trump wants that. He doesn't want coequal branches.
It's fine if they're co equal. Okay, it's fine if

(18:46):
they're co equal, but he doesn't want them to be
co equal with him. And so he is going to
push the boundaries on everything he can and if they
pull back, because they have to, all right, But grudgingly. Well,
there's been a lot of talking. He's a dictator. He's
going to steal this, He's going to do that. No,

(19:07):
he's not a dictator, right, he's not. I'm sorry. I
mean when I hear that, I just roll my eyes.
But would he like to have fifty point one percent
of the voting shares?

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (19:16):
I think you would, Ashley explain the strategy of this
maximalist approach to the executive I mean, Donald Trump is
getting involved in everything that he possibly can, taking a
stake in intel, strong arming universities and law firms, intimidating
members of Congress into or even members of state legislatures to.

Speaker 11 (19:36):
Do what he wants. He is trying to get involved
in nearly every aspect not just of American government or
American business, but also American life.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Who's pushing this?

Speaker 11 (19:50):
Is it Donald Trump's own personal desire or are there
people in the White House who are encouraging him to
do this?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I think it's a bit of a You've got way
too many sick of fans in the White House. Whenever
I get asked who in the White House or in
the administration, do I really look up and go Okay,
I like them. I like Wikkough, right, I like Scott
Bessant and Susie Wiles. And if you don't know who
she is, she is his chief of staff, and out

(20:19):
of everybody, I trust her the most because I think
she's able to do something inside of the White House
that nobody else can do. Scott Besson could go out
and sell it, and I think he's got a good

(20:41):
hand and I think what he needs to, especially in
certain aspects being the economy, I think he can get
Trump to pivot in a way where begrudgingly he may
not like it, but he'll do it. And I think
Trump will will will absolutely listen to him. The Lutnix
of the world. Of these other people, the Navarro's, they're

(21:02):
just ass kissers, right, They're just yes men, and they
just in women. They just stamp rubber stamp everything. But
Susie Wiles is a different thing, because I do believe
he'll give her a peek and if she says, yeah,
it's okay, do that. And if he says he looks
at her and she says no, he's ok okay, no, no,

(21:25):
We're not doing that. I think I think of all
the people that I've seen run through the Trump administration,
both the first one and the second one. She by
far has the most control and she is the strongest
voice of reason at times in his head. But the

(21:48):
SICA fans are out there and there's no doubt. Like
I said, Trump doesn't want to be a dictator, but
he does want fifty point one percent of the voting
rights when it comes to the coequal brand.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
So it's a mix of both.

Speaker 12 (22:02):
But I think one thing just to put this in
historical perspective, which you and I Katie have talked about
private land on this show, is that Donald Trump came
in his first term believing that the presidency was like
a monarchy. He wanted to be king. That comes from
him personally. This time around, he still wants that, but
he's also savvier about it, and he's surrounded himself by

(22:24):
people who are not only more loyal, but are also
savvier about it.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
How many times have you seen, Okay, take Trump out
of the equation. But the Obamas, Bush Clinton when they
always do those halftime interviews because I have to take
by now that too, because he didn't want but the
halftime interviews is the super Bowl and they ask you know,
what's the you know, especially in your first term, you know,
your few year year in what's the first thing you've
really learned about this? And they all say the same thing.

(22:52):
You find out how little power you have. Trump's a
different thing. He's a force. He's a force multiplier a
lot of I mean, he is a he is an
absolute force. So yeah, he thought, okay, I'm president, right,
I get a shape, not just a conversation, but I'm
gonna shape everything, and I'm gonna get my will done.

(23:16):
And you know, a lot of people say, well, it's
always gonna be a businessman. It's a businessman. Yeah, except
for one thing. Trump essentially was a sole proprietor. He
wasn't a businessman where we think of a CEO who
has to come in and he's got to worry about
the stock prices. He's got to worry about the investors,
and then he's got to worry about the board, where

(23:39):
it is a you know, you may be the head,
but it's a rule by committee. In a lot of ways,
Trump was never that. He always had fifty point one,
so therefore he was always the decision maker. And I
do believe it drives him crazy because he looks and says,
I see crime. I want to stop. How do I

(24:01):
get crime to stop? Well, sir, you can't really do
it that way by just sending in people to try
to stop the crime. But I want it to stop.
I don't think it comes from place of I want
to control stuff. I think it comes from place of
I see something that's broke, I want to fix the
damn thing. How can I fix it? Well, there are
rules in the way that we do things here.

Speaker 12 (24:21):
So for instance, he understands now that you cannot just fire,
you know, a FED board member for no reason. You
have to fire them for cause. And so there is
what he is claiming is cause. It will be unclear
just because the president says something has caused if that
actually counts as cause.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
But he's surrounded by people.

Speaker 12 (24:41):
And this gets back to your question, which is the
answer is twofold who when he wants to do something
and someone told me, they wait until he asks twice.
And that's because this person told me. Sometimes he says
some pretty crazy things, but if he asks twice, he
asks people around him who have the expertise and the
policy know how and the know how managing the bureaucracy

(25:01):
to offer creative envelope pushing solutions, some of which don't
pass the muster of the courts or the Constitution, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And that's since the beginning of this I've said Trump's
gonna come in. He's going to push the envelope and
he's gonna take everything he can. He's gonna throw it
against the wall and see what sticks. And in truth,
some of the stuff sticks, and in some areas if
people are being honest, which is hard because Trump's a
whole different kidney poodle, a lot of people have also said,

(25:36):
you know, truth, there's probably somebody he should have asked
this question about the powers here. Somebody should have asked
this question about this a long time ago. The fact
that there wasn't any ruling and it we never you know,
we've never had this before. We don't know, but it's
just never been done. Well, he's gonna see if he
can get done. But when I hear people say he's

(25:59):
not a dick Tator's not even a king. He just
wants to be the guy. With fifty point one percent
of the voting shares three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your ex, your insta, YouTube, Facebook and more? Love hearing
from all of you. We were talking earlier about webroot right.

(26:22):
You know, we got to protect yourself. Let me tell
you why you have to protect yourself. Okay, this is
a story here where, and you're hearing stuff like this
more and more. We were talking about the other day.
If Brad Pitt calls you and says, I love you,
I miss you. By the way, I'm in some trouble.
Can you help me? Maybe that's not Brad Pitt.

Speaker 13 (26:44):
Authorities are investigating a scam that used artificial intelligence to
create a deep fake video of General Hospital star Steve
Burton conning a Los Angeles woman out of her life savings.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Hello, Abigail, I love you so much, darling.

Speaker 14 (26:57):
I had to make this video to make you happy.

Speaker 13 (26:59):
My love, Vivian Ruville Kaba says for mother Abigail, who
is bipolar disorder, believed she was in a relationship with
the actor.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
That is scary and we hear these stories and people
go false for this. Well, obviously some people do. It's
a numbers game. And if you can get people in
mass to even bite on a little bit, and where
ninety percent of them and ninety nine percent of them
fade away. You only need one or two to make
your quota of theft for the day, week, or month.

Speaker 13 (27:30):
According to a police report, Abigail sent the scammer posing
as Burton more than eighty one thousand dollars in gift cards, cash,
and bitcoin after he told her he had lost.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Property in the Elle wildfires.

Speaker 13 (27:42):
The real Steve Burton says, unfortunately, he's heard stories like
this before.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
And who are they praying on. They're playing on the
elderly because this again, it's a numbers game. And like
I said, I've heard stuff about bad pant, I've heard
stuff about everybody. If somebody's calling you and they've lost
everything and the only way that you can help them
is by getting them a Chili's gift card, maybe it's
not who you think it is.

Speaker 8 (28:07):
Whatever you have online people can take and use. Be
aware that a lot of things are not going to
be real for the next few years, and that there
aren't going to be these guardrails for a while.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Web that's the guardwill for you. Webre dot com, slash
chat say forty percent protect yourself. Speaking of protecting yourself yesterday,
the horrors in Minneapolis over the last week and a
half or so, colleges, have you know back at it? Okay,
you got college football season kicks off in Ernest this week.

(28:37):
You have got everybody's on campus now. The one thing
that's been happening, though, and if you've not paid attention
to this, is how many active shooter headlines you've seen
where they've shut down colleges And I'm talking about big
colleges on a daily basis, almost where there's a report

(29:00):
of an active shooter and it's not real.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
In recent days, police flooding the University of South Carolina,
the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, and Villanova.

Speaker 9 (29:10):
We didn't hear.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Anything, didn't see anything.

Speaker 15 (29:11):
An officer came in with his pistol drawn, asked us
if we heard any gunshots.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
We said no.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
He said, pack everything up that you have, get out
of the building.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
A swatting group called Purgatory is believed to be behind
those hoax calls in nearly a dozen others, resulting in
lockdowns and in some cases panic.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
More than just panic. So I think it was last
week we had a school here in Nashville that in
the city proper that had a bomb threat and at
the same time University of Tennessee Chattanooga active shooter. There

(29:51):
was an active shooter later on that day at another college,
and then you had South Carolina. I mean, this is
almost in a daily occurrence and you have to take
it serious. And you know we were talking the other day,
is this Why are you doing this? Are you doing
this because you want to see how the systems work?

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Right?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
You're putting out the feelers. How does the system work,
Who's going to be there, what kind of you know,
protection do they have in and around the campus? Because
you're interested in this or is this just for blank
and giggles.

Speaker 15 (30:24):
Purgatory is a group of young people that are located
in various countries. They come together online and they operate
as an organized cell target engaging in swatting for hire
or swatting for their own purposes, to include gaining notoriety.
They want to gain notoriety so others will hire them
for more swatting.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
What I don't, I don't What do you get out
of it? That's I'm still trying to put for me.
I look at everything in a way where it's like, Okay,
what are you getting out of this. So you want
people to hire you to do some thing, to cause
chaos somewhere for what purpose. That's what I'm trying to

(31:06):
figure out. What's the endgame is to swat I mean,
if I let's just go pull the fire alarm, what's
that going to cost you? I don't know.

Speaker 15 (31:13):
What we've seen over the past several years is that
these sophisticated organized groups will come together.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
They will engage in a.

Speaker 15 (31:23):
Broad range of cyber crimes, to include either engaging in
swatting calls for hire where they can be hired by
a foreign intel service, a terrorist group, a criminal organization
who has reason to target somebody, so they'll hire their
group to do the swatting call. The objective maybe to
harass those people or to extort them from money.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
I have no idea. The whole thing is just bizarre.
I could see a foreign terrorist organization or something like that,
but just to hire somebody to like I really want
to get back to my girlfriend and she's a jerk,
and she goes to this place and do this weird
and notoriety. It's bizarre people, that's it. But I continue
to think when I hear terrorist organizations stuff like that.

(32:08):
Is there more to this? I hope not three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three. Atche Benson shows your extra Insta, YouTube,

Hashtag help.

Speaker 16 (33:42):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
It is that time of the program. We have a
little fun learn some words. Right every day, I'm helping
you and it's helping me learn some of these these
words the youth of America are using so we can
have an understanding as they become more and more entrenched
in our lives, in the workforce and whatnot. And yes,

(34:09):
even at home when they use certain words and you're like,
what the hell does that mean? It sounds like a
word I know, but you're using it in a way
I wouldn't. Oh, it's time for it.

Speaker 14 (34:21):
Now, it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
The young have a vocabularity all their own and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 14 (34:28):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
All right. You know what's interesting this this urban word
when in to the vernacular that I remember as a kid, right,
so it was into the the the language of my youth,
and then it disappeared. And the youngsters, I guess, are

(34:53):
bringing this back. Are you ready for this? Your urban
work today is finna fi n na. It's abbreviation for
fixing to or going to. I'm finningna go to the mall.
I'm finna go get something to eat. Yes, finna fi
and na is your urban word of the day.

Speaker 14 (35:15):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Now you know, and as we always like to say,
it's good to know, because not knowing is well, that's
that's not good. Knowing is half the battle. Then you
got to talk to the kids for the rest of
the day. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ext your insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more? Right here in the Chad Benson Show. Coming

(35:41):
up our number two of the program, we're gonna have
more on what took place yesterday in Minnesota. The latest
on that top of that, we got to do Gallup
Pole and man, are we in a position where our
partisanship has hit peak in sanity? Talk about that as well. Also,

(36:03):
what's going on at the CDC. I'd like to have
a conversation about that. I feel like we've got a
bit of a hot mess happening over there. I think
there are some issues we need to deal with, you know,
because of medical stuff. Talk a bit about that as well.
If you're missing the show, shame on you. I'm finning
to do the second hour straight ahead. This is the
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
It's always about the economy. Stupid greatest political phrase baby
ever spoken, because it is always about the economy and
where is the economy? A lot of people feel uncomfortable.
A lot of people are frustrated, a lot of people
are worried. They're not in panic mode, but they're uncomfortable.

(37:20):
They're not feeling it. Why aren't prices down? Trump? We
put you in office. Have You've got to give it
some time. But the Trump world is focused on a
lot of stuff that I think is something you don't
need to focus on. When it comes to explaining it
to people, you focus on it behind closed doors, you
get questions asked about it. Handle those things. But when

(37:42):
it comes to the thing that's going to keep you
in a position to continue to move your agenda forward
is the economy, because as the economy goes, so goes
the voter for whatever party they feel is going to
do them right when it comes to the economy, We've.

Speaker 17 (37:59):
Been telling you for the past month at high prices,
whether President Trump's fault or not are an existential threat
to his presidency. Take a look at Woodbury County, Iowa,
and you will see that we were right. Trump won
the county by twenty three points back in November, but
Democrat Caitlin dre just flipped the Senate State Senate seat

(38:20):
in a special election last night.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
There was an election last night.

Speaker 17 (38:22):
There because she talked relentlessly about the affordability crisis plaguing
everyday Americans.

Speaker 18 (38:29):
The number one concern I'm hearing from Borders right now
is that we have an affordability crisis. In Senate District one.
Housing and childcare are sometimes difficult to access, and when
it's accessible, it's not affordable. The same can be said
of our healthcare.

Speaker 17 (38:46):
And yet Democrats mostly talk about how bad Donald Trump is.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
That is not working for them.

Speaker 17 (38:51):
Talking about high prices is working for her and for
this show, because when we do with some of our
highest rated segments.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
I will tell you Leyland love him News Nation, and
He's right, same thing here. It is the most important
singular issue year over year, votcycle after votercycle, it is,
I mean after nine to eleven. Yeah, you could say
terrorism is obviously a big issue, but that eventually comes

(39:21):
back down and what goes back up to where it was,
it's the economy. You and I are in the economy.
Every day we're buying, we're spending, we're selling, where we're giving.
This is what we do. I mean. And it is
not the end all to be all when it comes
to happiness in your life. But there is nothing greater

(39:43):
than peace in your life than knowing you're financially okay
and people are not feeling it. They're not. And if
the Republicans don't start to message this in a way
where they and I'm not talking about bsing, but you've
you got to talk about it, and you've got to
be honest with the people, and you've got to lay

(40:04):
out your plan, and you've got to because when you
square that up with everybody, a vast majority of voters
who are serious are going to go Okay. If you
just tell everybody like the Biden administration did, the economy's
great deal with it, you're going to lose.

Speaker 17 (40:21):
You are and Republicans either ignore high prices or point
to things like gas prices, and it is true. Gas
is the lowitz has been for Labor Day in years.
The stock market is at near record highs or a
new record perhaps tomorrow. But there is more to the
economy than the stock market. Ground b for a cookout
once you get there after driving is up fifteen percent,

(40:42):
a record highs. Chickens are up five percent. It's no
wonder that six and ten Americans think the economy is
in a poor condition.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
They feel that. And what's the number one thing we're
talking the other day about the consumer confidence index. If
you do not feel confident, you are not going to
spend the way that we all hope to spend. And
that includes buying home. Because when you buy a home,
what do you do. I'm gonna buy furniture for the home.
Moving into a new a house, I don't want that
same old crappy furniture and stuff. No, you're going to

(41:11):
spend in a much different way. And the expense of
life is eating everything up. And affordability is the number
one thing they're worried about a lot of different stuff,
you know, the Democrats are worried about.

Speaker 19 (41:25):
He's gonna steal all of our souls and just take
over the country with with crime fighters and fatigues. Ah,
and he's bad and he says mean things, and you're like, ugh,
come up with something better.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
What happens when he's no longer here? What's your excuse?
Then she got it right in Iowa. It's affordability. I
don't care about the noise. I don't care about the
DEI I don't care about the woke. I care about affordability.
That's what matters to the people, affordability, being able to live.
And it's not the government's job to make everybody's life easy.

(42:00):
You've got to still do your part. The issue, though,
is government, unlike the rest of us, could print money
causes inflation. Oh yeah, you can't do that. Try to
print some money. Tell me how that works out for
you when you try to spend it.

Speaker 20 (42:14):
Out in the heartland, people are suffering because higher prices.
If they're going to blame Donald Trump in anyway, we're
not doing a very good job reminding them that inflation
was five percent year during the Biden year.

Speaker 14 (42:29):
Sometimes.

Speaker 20 (42:30):
Yeah, and look, it was totally a function of two things.
One significantly overspending by the Biden regime. So we had
what's called demand pull inflation, too much money chasing too
few goods, and then they didn't manage the supply chains. Well,
the good news now, and it's very good news, real

(42:51):
wages arising once again.

Speaker 17 (42:53):
They the purchasing power of your page exactly.

Speaker 20 (42:57):
That's the inflation adjusted wages going up and they went
down in the Biden regime.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
That's that's incredible.

Speaker 21 (43:07):
I mean the stagnant wages.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Okay, now, he's absolutely right, Pin Navarro. Real wages year
to year, hourly up about one point two percent, real
average weekly earnings of about one point four percent year
over year. The problem still is inflation. So if these

(43:32):
numbers were flipped, because inflation two point seven percent, core
inflation three point one percent, So if you were looking
at this right here, if it was reversed and real
rages were going up, three percent, and inflation was you know,
basically two percent. Well you're in the win because you've

(43:54):
got a net positive right now, it's a net negative.
So year over year, average workers losing about one point
three to one point five percent in purchasing power. Now
that's stronger than it was last year. But now you
can start to understand, Okay, there's the numbers, there's the facts,
there's the data. How do we get to where we're going?
And it's not a one size fits all. But this

(44:16):
is why you have to explain it to people. Otherwise
is what's going to happen. You're out in comes the Democrats.
Now you're going to spend the next two years as
a lame duck president where you're in a position where
you're going to be spending more times being investigated and
potentially fighting off another impeachment than trying to get through
your agenda, which is what you want. It's always about

(44:40):
the economy always. Everything else may float around number one
or two because some people are very much a singular
issue voter. But if their number one issue is choice
or life, number twos the economy, If their number one

(45:04):
issue is you know, gun control, number two is the economy,
but for ninety nine percent of US. Number one is
the economy. Speaking of gun control yesterday, the horrors in Minneapolis,
the shooting that took place, and it's people. It's not
a tragedy. You know what is tragedy. What happened in

(45:26):
Texas the hill country. Nature doing what nature does. That
is a tragedy. This was cold blooded, sheer, evil murder
and mental illness on full display for the world, on
full display. And this is going to sound harsh for
the body, it's even cold. It's got to be about politics.

(45:46):
You know, this person's trans therefore mentally ill. That's the
only reason they could be mentally ill. Outside of that,
it's just because there were trans they're mentally ill, and
this person it was mentally ill. The left is like, no,
you can't say that. That's horrible. It's about guns. Just
too many guns on the street. He's got all the
guns off the street. You know, things would be better

(46:06):
and these kind of things would happen.

Speaker 22 (46:08):
The shooter firing dozens of rounds through the stained glass windows.

Speaker 23 (46:12):
I heard something like really loud, like I thought it
was fireworks in the church, and then then I saw
the shooting and I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm
so scared.

Speaker 9 (46:23):
All we hear is.

Speaker 24 (46:26):
And my classmates all, like, some of my classmates thought
it was getting fitty because they saw the glass when
the stained glass windows flying.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Young survivors recounting the horror.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
And it was horror and it was awful and the
individual is mentally deranged. That sums it up. There's nothing
else to say, mentally deranged. Well, Chad, but they had guns. Yes,
I know. And this is Jacob Fraid, the mayor of Minneapolis.

Speaker 25 (46:57):
People who say that this is not about guns, you
gotta be kidding me. This is about guns. We do
need to take action. There are other countries around the
world where horrific acts have taken place like this, and
then they step up to make a change so that
in fact does not happen again. We can take that

(47:18):
same sort of action here.

Speaker 21 (47:20):
Now.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Okay, so what your you want to remove guns? Certain guns? Okay,
so let's just say you removed guns because he had
handguns and all this stuff. Let's say you remove this
carry gun. Let me ask you a question. Even if
you removed all of the guns from this guy, you
removed a tool and a symbol. He's still mentally ill.

(47:47):
He could drive a car and hit them, he could
build a bomb. You didn't fix the problem. You removed
a symbol and a tool. The problem isn't the gun
access for cuckoos, absolutely and bad people, but they're still
either mentally ill or bad. You're not fixing that problem.

(48:12):
It's a lot of lip service and slapping each other
on the back because you removed a monument from something
that was deemed evil and racist and bad, but you
haven't fixed the thing that you believe is still happening
out there. It's the same thing with this three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson

five two eight four. It's the Chad Benson Show, Chad Benson,

(49:53):
I'm gonna say this, Robert Kennedy Jr. The hell is
going on over there? I thought you're supposed to be
making America healthy again, and instead I see a flurry
of resignations and bizarre firings or not firings, including the
new head of the CDC that has been there a minute.
It feels like, oh maybe just a little bit longer,

(50:15):
but not too much longer.

Speaker 22 (50:16):
The agency's director, Susan Manara, is chosen by President Trump,
has been fired only weeks into the job after reportedly
disagreeing with Health Secretary Robert Kennedy about vaccine policy. Manaras
As lawyers say she was told to quit or be fired.
They say she refused to rubber stamp unscientific, reckless directives
and fire dedicated health experts.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I'm fine with that, not the firing, but no, you
shouldn't rubber stamp anything. That's the problem that we had,
and the same thing that the reason that we don't
trust the CDC and the FDA is because it became political.
Feels like you're trying to make this political because you
have somebody who, by the way, President Trump picked that

(51:00):
you disagree with, especially when it comes to things like vaccines.

Speaker 22 (51:04):
Minors. Is known as a staunch supporter of vaccines. Her
ouser comes as Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic. Moves to reshape
the government's approach to vaccines just yesterday, limiting who's now
eligible for COVID nineteen shots to only seniors and people
with underlying medical conditions.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
And why that's important is when they go and do
something like that, that gives the healthcare insurance companies reason
to go, well, we don't probably have to cover that.
That's going to be kind of a bonus for you then.
And so there's confusion around that. And I'm not one
of these anti vaxxers. I never have been. Modern technology

(51:46):
is amazing. I love it. Everybody's like, but mRNA. Everybody's
got mRNA. That you have mRNA. If you don't think
you have MRINA, you're fooling it. Well, they could change it.
They could do this to become whatever you think you're
going to become. Remember during COVID, what was it, Gatos
and Ice lat Mother. These people out there is like,

(52:07):
if I get too close to a five G tower,
I could become magnetized. How did you get to that? How?
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
At Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more? We love hearing from all of you right
here on the Chad Benson Show. And I'm not saying

(52:31):
everybody should take anything, because I think we've over delivered
on so many of these things. I am saying, though
I want politics out of it. Give me the best.
And it's hard because even the CDC, which we saw science,
became weaponized and we don't need that. Let me know
what you think. And it has become weaponized, and it's

(52:54):
become political and it shouldn't. And it's also bought and
paid for big money, big interest. They kind of all.
You know, it's when you go and see the board
and who sits on the board of a lot of
these big pharma companies And at the same time, who
then comes over and works for the CDC or the

(53:14):
FDA somewhere, and then they go and work for one
of these companies. So there's a lot of you know,
incestuousness in this and I don't want any of that.
I don't think anybody does. Money is insane in the
world of politics, and it's frustrating for all of us.
But what I want is tell me the science. And remember,

(53:38):
and I used to talk about this all the time, Well,
some people got sick, So there's vaccine injuries. Of course,
there was always going to be those things. Always did
the benefit outweigh the risk. If you gave every human
being an aspirin in the country, some of them are
going to have an allergic reaction. It's going to happen,
and it's unfortunate and it is horrible. But I feel

(54:01):
like the same thing they accuse everybody else of, they're
now making it their mission to do the same thing.
And I want independence, especially when it comes to health.
Three two three four twenty three at Chat Benson Show,
is Your Acts Your Insta. This is the Chat.

Speaker 9 (54:18):
Benson shown Chad Benson Show, The.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
We talked the other day about the chaos in Britain
and how it's boiling over and feels like it is
even last night when Michael and I we did our podcast.
If you have a chance to check us out at
Chad Benson Show, call ourself Steaky Sauce the majority, because
that's what we are. But the the Brits are having issues.
Never in the flag kerfuffle. We're having a flag kerfuffalo

(55:05):
as well, but not like them, and they've got a
lot of issues, immigration being one of them. Well, there
is this the moment people are wondering in Britain where
things change. People are asking and some are even saying,
this is a moment that is going to change everything.
This is the moment that is going to galvanize the people,
and they're going to make sweeching change and they're going

(55:26):
to bring in Nigel Farage and immigration's going to explode
and we can't have this stuff here and etcetera, etcetera.
And look the way that they've done immigration is awful.
We thought we did a bad job, but like they
are putting it on blasts when it comes to doing
bad jobs. So this video is out there everywhere. Elon
shared it to his video. So you got a twelve

(55:47):
year old girl in a park and dundee and she
confronts somebody holding a phone and then she takes out
a hatchet and a knife.

Speaker 26 (56:03):
Oh yes, you haven't eye, you don't well, perfect cat gossage.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
So sold the knife, sold on night, told on from
sold a knife, Sold the knife to job. That's it.

Speaker 27 (56:20):
That's it.

Speaker 28 (56:21):
Sold the knife, don't last, sold the night, that's it.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
That's what I list.

Speaker 14 (56:28):
Wow, yes, twelve and you just bottered me?

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Yeah, yeah, sold one. I love time, I love time.

Speaker 14 (56:37):
I turned on to me doing talking.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Away And again that video is been seen by millions.
A lot of people think this is, uh, you know,
some sort of moment that's gonna change everything. Uh, she's
actually twelve. Originally she said they said she was fourteen.
She's actually twelve. Nobody in the park or that sawny
of this could substantiate her accusations. Her accusations were somebody

(57:04):
and I don't know if it's this guy or not.
My assumption is, but you don't ever see him. He's
just holding the phone has come over and asked the
other girl, I guess for a phone number, and I
guess she alleged that she said no, and then he

(57:25):
groped her. And that's when all of this went down.
And my first thought was maybe, I mean, there's been
a lot of issues over there. There has been. We
can pretend that there hasn't been, but everybody's afraid to
say anything because they don't want to be perceived as racist.
But the reality is there's been a lot of issues,

(57:46):
especially from people coming from war torn third world countries
who have a backwards ass belief in the societies that
they come from that women girls there are nothing more
than property. And so there's been more than a few
instances where we have seen that and it's not meshing
and driving well, but I don't know that that was this.

(58:10):
What I do know is I don't think she went
home and got the knife in a hatchet. Now she
has been charged for brandishing an offensive weapon, and on
top of that, there's investigation going on for some other
things with this, and I'm sure they're going to look
into her parents, because I don't think that's going well

(58:31):
either there. It was just it. But a lot of
people think this is a symbol. This is a moment
in time where everybody's gonna stand up and say, see
this great culture, this melting pot, this thing that everybody
says that everybody wants, this diversity, all this stuff. It
doesn't work. No, if you bring people in who want
nothing to do with your culture, who want to live

(58:53):
the life that they lived elsewhere, but do it in
the safety of your culture, contribute nothing to your culture,
become nothing of no matter what it is. I don't
care if you're British, I don't care if you're American,
I don't care if you're German, I don't care what
you are. If you go to somebody's house and you're
not going to live by the rules, played by the rules,

(59:15):
it ain't gonna work. And Britain's going through it and
we're going through it. And that's the big conversation around
immigration that a lot of people are starting to have
when it comes to some of the other issues that
people are questioning. You know, in a place like America,
for example, of multiculturalism, it's our strength, it's not our culture.
Strength is who we are and what we are, how

(59:36):
we've built this, this this representative republic, this democracy. Good
luck if you can keep it. But even a Brago Garcia,
he holds a press conference the other day, he's been
here for what over a decade, doesn't speak a word
of English, press conferences in Spanish, and you want to

(59:56):
be here. How is that? The driver of the uh
I almost said lauri, which is a British word for
the eighteen wheeler. He didn't speak any English. He's got
a license and he doesn't speak English. He's got a
commercials driver's license. Nobody's told him you got to speak English.

(01:00:17):
I mean, we've these are the things that we have.
We have people coming here who come from places where
they close themselves off and they don't want anything to
do with the rest of everybody, and it causes strife
and it causes anger, and we can't have that it's
not all on them because in some communities, no, they're
not welcome with open arms. But if we don't want

(01:00:38):
to run into issues like this, which are happening more
and more in Britain, we better get our heads out
of our ass three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three atch had Menson show, Is your
ects Your Inset? YouTube? Facebook and more. I came across
this piece the other day and it was it got
me thinking we've got a lot of issues in this
country when it comes to kids. We know that also

(01:01:04):
when it comes to bad parenting and the question surrounding
where does cps come in? When do they come in?
And is it better sometimes that the kids is taken
away from the parents because I think at times, I

(01:01:25):
mean every one of us has walked down the street
and we see a kid with you know some you
know mumbling and mumblings, you know, just and you think, man,
that kid's got no chance in life. You never know
what's going to be like. And it's this weird world
of you know, can they overreach? They can at times
that they don't do enough. Yeah, and it's and there

(01:01:46):
in many cases their number one goals always try to
reunite the kids with the parents, which you would think
would be admirable and understandable.

Speaker 21 (01:01:57):
A lot of times, some parents abuse their own kids.

Speaker 8 (01:02:03):
Medical staff said this was one of the worst cases
of malnourishment they've seen.

Speaker 21 (01:02:07):
Some even kill their kids.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Beaten to death by her father.

Speaker 21 (01:02:11):
Child welfare workers are supposed to prevent this, but bad
things often happen while they're watching.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
At the time of her death, she was under the
supervision of Child Protective Services.

Speaker 14 (01:02:23):
Children have a right to safety.

Speaker 21 (01:02:26):
Tim Keller's a libertarian who wants government to protect more
kids by taking them from parents.

Speaker 29 (01:02:32):
Now home is a danger, we as a society have
to step in and protect those children.

Speaker 21 (01:02:38):
Surprising to hear a libertarian argue that government should do more.

Speaker 29 (01:02:43):
We don't like the state involved in family life. The
state makes for a bad parent. But I think they're
leaving children in dangerous situations, and the headlines are burying
that out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
It's true. I mean how many time we hear it
all the time, and then we find out that, you know,
parent or somebody did some to a kid. And then
you find out while CPS had been there twelve times,
You're like.

Speaker 21 (01:03:04):
What headlines do recount case after case of parents abusing
their kids. It states tell social workers try to keep
families together. Children do best when they are with parents.
Law professor Josh Gupta Kagan fights to keep kids with
their parents. The horror stories go in all direction. He says,

(01:03:24):
the government is often too quick to take kids.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Somehow, I just knew what it was.

Speaker 30 (01:03:34):
They're here to take our kids.

Speaker 31 (01:03:36):
Wall Fan police and DCF employees are taking Clarence Sabe
and his baby brother Cal into custody.

Speaker 21 (01:03:45):
Obviously he wants to stay with his parents, so why
take it? Because a few days before, the Sabe's brought
their son to the hospital with a fever. A doctor
discovered he.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Mostly healed weeks old grip fracture.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
And I and this right here, like it hits me
because of my sister. If you guys listened to the
show for a long time ago, how my sister drugs
all this stuff. My mother's adopted my nieces and nephews.
I have a thirteen year old little brother. He's my nephew,
but my mother's adopted him all the way up to
a twenty six, twenty seven year old sister. The oldest one,

(01:04:25):
the one I talked about when she was little, she
had a high fever and it was bad. And this
is the time my sister hadn't gone off. Her and
her boyfriend then taken her to the hospital. So we
all went and by all that was just my it was.
It was it was me and my aunt and my

(01:04:47):
sister and her her boyfriend, and so we go to
the hospital and within minutes, you know, and we've noticed
like she's got because I asked my mom, I said, God, Mom,
I said, look at look at breeze. She got bruises
on her? What the heck's going on? And and I didn't
think anything nefarious because my sister's a lot of things,
but she was never that and neither was her her

(01:05:07):
you know her the father's you know of Brie. So
they go in and within five minutes, CPS comes down
and they've they've sequestered all if they've taken us the
police or with them. It's it was crazy and they
had like taken her, they're run into they do all
these kinds of things, and it was awful. And and
the thing that was weird about that the medical team

(01:05:34):
that was seeing my little well, she was my niece
by my sister. They had no idea what was going on,
no idea, And they come down and like it's like
everybody's in custody, the whole nine yards. I mean they're
looking look all my goodness, come to find out. The
doctors all, what did you guys do?

Speaker 5 (01:05:53):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
They they've you know, they think that she be there's
this kid's not beating you. I look at all the bruises. No,
the kid's not beating. I mean they were insisting and
the doctor's like, I don't think you understand. This kid
has itp And of course they didn't know what it was,
and like, what the hell's ip touch her skin because
of the platelets, and she's going to prove just touch

(01:06:14):
her and they still didn't want to believe it. It
was insane how it got. And of course, you know,
I was like, look, she's a lot of things, but
she ain't that.

Speaker 21 (01:06:30):
American law requires social workers, doctors, nurses to report anything suspicious.
Doctors who don't report a problem maybe fine thousands of
dollars or jailed. So healthcare workers are quick to report
possible abuse.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
See something, say something, it's surveillance, it's investigatory, and sometimes
it leads to an unnecessary separation.

Speaker 21 (01:06:51):
At least the Sabee kids were returned, but for saying doctors, nurses, teachers,
social workers to report everything suspicious, says Quippa Kagan, leads
to too many interventions and those can be as traumatic
as abuse.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
There's no doubt. And it was, I mean it was.
It was horrific because and they didn't I mean, IP
is what it ended up being, and they thought that's
what it was. They said it was either IP or leukemia.
So but they were pretty sure that's what it was.
But there was evident just because they said, look, we
picked her up and she's bruised from it still didn't

(01:07:25):
matter though, because and they didn't by the way, the
doctors and stuff, they were still investigating and she was
another they were taking her is. It was insane. And
the amount it was like swat came down, it was crazy,
and it was It was interesting because it was also
in the hospital, which I found to be fascinating because

(01:07:49):
elsewhere when stuff has happened and police have shown up
or they looked, they never had the same kind of
of scrutiny to my sister and whatnot that they did
at that time, And that I found that to be fascinating.

(01:08:10):
It's a look. Parents are the most important thing I believe,
and that is good and bad. But I will tell
you what. The overzealousness of some is crazy. And then
the underwhelming way that some people do their jobs and

(01:08:35):
ignore signs it is also crazy. It's not a perfect society,
but we got to do better. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,

twenty four to twenty three at ched Benson show's your
ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook. We love it when you
check out all of our stuff. It really, you know,
it's good. I see a lot of you guys come

(01:12:10):
over to the YouTube, So if you have a chance
to make sure you check that out as well. And
if you miss the show, make sure you grab the
podcast right here on The Chad Benson Show. Coming up,
hour number three of the program. A lot of good
stuff still to get to about. Jim Kennedy's going to
join the program. We're going to talk about Gavin Newsom,
so he's doing everything he can. Is gonna be god

(01:12:31):
knows how much money thrown at this thing so they
can get it on the ballot and try to have
the opportunity to redistrict in California, because that's what you
have to do. What if he fails, I think it's
a fair question asked, does that hurt his chances of
being the president, because let's be real, he's not running
anymore the state of California as the governor. He is

(01:12:51):
running for president and this may go a long way
in finding out if he's going to be the nominee
for the Democrats. Come twenty eight, hour number three, straight
I had Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
I am off tomorrow and Monday, taking a well needed rest.
I will tell you, guys, you hear me talk about
my lack of sleep. This week has been one of
those weeks where it's not even Sometimes it's funny because
my wife will know I'm up for like thirty six
hours or whatever. She just knows I'm just doing what

(01:13:53):
I do. I just can't sleep. This week was extra.
I think there's a five day period since last Saturday
where maybe I've had out of those five days one
day where I slept. That's how Sunday morning into late

(01:14:16):
Monday night, no sleep, little sleep Monday into Tuesday, and
nothing yesterday. And here I am. So I'm kind of
like yes, and everybody's like, are you going to travel
this weekend? No, I'm taking my much needed rest doing

(01:14:39):
nothing because I think when you go on vacation sometimes
the stress of the vacation is not worth it, And
when you're traveling with little ones, in particular three women,
that's a hard thing. Lets you guys know that right now.
But a lot of people are going to be traveling,
so we want to make sure that we're keeping you safe, sound,

(01:14:59):
and understanding what's happening.

Speaker 31 (01:15:01):
The TSA expects to screen more than seventeen million passengers
over the holiday weekend, with nearly three million travelers expected
to fly on Friday alone. Travel experts they avoid taking
off Friday or coming back Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Smart, get on the road, do it fast, when, how,
what where.

Speaker 31 (01:15:21):
Although flights and cruises are popular ways to travel this weekend,
Triple A expects many travelers to stay closer to home,
taking road trips to nearby beaches or national parks. Their
advice leave early to beat the backups and good news
at the pump. Gas prices are expected to stay below
last year's levels. For those who haven't made plans yet,

(01:15:42):
last minute flight deals are hard to find, but deals
on hotels and rental cars are still out there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
So there you go, a lot of people on the road.
Be careful, don't be an idiot, go out, have fun,
don't be crazy. I'm so looking forward, turned off all
my alarms. I'm like, I'm not waking up till Tuesday tomorrow.
We're gonna get up. Nothing too crazy. Because Charlie's birthday week,

(01:16:09):
We're going to go to the zoo, so we got
something planned for there. But man, I'll tell you what,
I am so excited to rest, and we need it.
Sometimes we need to just shut things down. And I'm
not good at that about you guys, but I'm awful
at that. I am awful at shutting things down. My
mind is always on the go. It's it is, it is,

(01:16:32):
it is NonStop, it really is. Yesterday is a perfect
example of well, I flicked at me and she goes,
what the hell are you doing? So I was up.
I could not sleep. I got up at twelve forty
five yesterday morning and I finished. So I did my show,

(01:16:53):
then I did another show. Then I came home and
did another show because all all the stuff had changed.
Wanted to make sure my afternoon version of my show
was refreshed with the latest. Then my uncle and I
did a two hour podcast, then another interview, and I
rolled out of here about eight forty five last night,

(01:17:15):
and we just a few doors down in the podcast studio.
We rented a studio apartment turned into that, so it
was it was crazy, and I'm like, man, I need
some sleep. I think we all could use some. It's
been one of those years speaking of that, you know,
we've touched on it throughout the day, and my problem
of first of all, stopped calling it a tragedy. It

(01:17:38):
was it was murder. It was mental illness. I think
when when when you say, I look at something like
what happened in the Hill Country in Texas, that's a tragedy.
That was nature, that's a tragedy. This was malice, cold
blooded murder by somebody who is mentally deranged. And I

(01:18:02):
want people to understand it is a mental illness what
this person suffered with. But at a time of ultimate
peak partisanship, according to the latest Gallup poll, Trump is down,
not a shocker, but the partisanship is so crazy. We're

(01:18:25):
at the point now where if a Democrat's running something,
ninety nine percent of Republicans want no part of it.
If the Republicans running something, ninety nine percent of people
want no part of it. I mean, this is one
of those things where it is crazy, the partisanship, and

(01:18:46):
you see it in everything. By the time that the
news had come out yesterday, what's the first thing that
everybody does. You run to your Twitter, any of the
things that you go two for your news, and you
go all right, who'd he vote for?

Speaker 28 (01:19:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
I want to know. Was he wearing a red hat?
Was he white? I want to know? And then you know,
the left found out, oh it was trans. Oh no,
and the rights like, yeah, tran another transshooter, another evil

(01:19:27):
trans shooter. None of the people that found that out
got points. There was no points, there was no like gift.
It's like, hey, I sorted it out. I found out
it was a trans. It's one of those trans people. Yeah,
so they're gonna send me my gift in the mail. No,
that doesn't happen. But it was the politics. So then

(01:19:50):
the left does what the left does, which is anybody anybody?
Oh yeah, that's right. It's the guns fault. It's the
gun's fault. That's it. I mean, you know, like it's always
the gun's fault.

Speaker 25 (01:20:03):
We have this obligation, out of love for all of
our children, to make sure that this kind of thing
never happens again. We have an obligation again not just
to feel grief in this moment, which is righteous, but
we need to show action, which is essential.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
Jacob fryar Fray, who's the mayor of Minneapolis, That's who
that is. But I don't it's his name, Friar Fray.
I want to say Fray. Maybe it's Fry I'm not sure.
But again, the gun's fault. Yeah, we've got an obligation
to protect our children. We do, there's no doubt about that.
But it's the gun, right, It's always the gun.

Speaker 25 (01:20:40):
How many times have you heard politicians talk about an
unspeakable tragedy and yet this kind of thing happens again
and again. Prayers, thoughts, they are certainly welcomed, but they're
not enough.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
They're welcomed and they should be given. We should care,
we should pray, we should want to do everything we
can to help. But Chad, the best way to do
is to take the guns away.

Speaker 25 (01:21:10):
got to be kidding me.

Speaker 21 (01:21:15):
This is about guns.

Speaker 25 (01:21:17):
We do need to take action. There are other countries
around the world where horrific acts have taken place like this,
and then they step up to make a change so that,
in fact does not happen again. We can take that
same sort of action here now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Okay, so mayor so it's about guns. I want I
want to listen to that again. I want to hear
what you said. You say it's about guns.

Speaker 25 (01:21:43):
got to be kidding me.

Speaker 21 (01:21:48):
This is about guns.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Okay, So this is about guns. Okay, So let's let's
let's workshop this here. I'm problem solvers. What I want
to do, solve the problem or workshop. So there, here's
the gun. It's in the store, not doing anything. It's
just sitting there, not even loaded. Somebody goes and purchases it,

(01:22:12):
brings it home, decides it wants to kill a bunch
of people, goes out and commits that act, that heinous, horrible, evil,
vile act. And it's the gun's fault. So the guns

(01:22:32):
sitting there, it's not doing anything. It didn't you know,
this isn't you know, son of Sam things. It's not
talking to the person. So is that really the issue?

(01:22:53):
So let's just say, okay, so we're chop some more.
The gun's not there no way for this person to
purchase said gun. So the gun's gone. But he's hell
bent still on killing some people. So now he takes

(01:23:15):
a car, maybe he rents it, maybe he's already got
a car. Again. I don't know about his you know,
his standard of living and what he has. Kids come
out instead of being in the church, they're walking back
to wherever they were supposed to go. He rams these
kids and runs them over. So the car was sitting there,

(01:23:36):
it wasn't doing anything, and then it did do something.
But it didn't do something on its own. It didn't
start itself. This isn't Christine, So what then? I agree
there are too many wackadoos out there with access to stuff.
But the entire time we're talking about the tool. Some

(01:24:00):
people the tool and a symbol. If you took the
gun away and he still wanted to do this, because
for the most part it looks like he was hell
bent on doing this, he could have built a bomb.
You haven't fixed the problem in your mind. You've taken
a tool and symbol away, but those things didn't make

(01:24:24):
him mentally deranged. You could have stable people with all
the guns in the world who don't want to shoot
each other, and you could have one gun with somebody
who's completely unstable. That person could get the gun and

(01:24:46):
do something. You could have no guns in that scenario
and that person still unstable and want to run people
over or blow somebody up or chop them up. Each
time he's doing something with something common denominator here is

(01:25:07):
the mental illness and the person We'll see three two, three, five,

because there's a new video. We talked about the last
couple of days of the hospital double tap shelling, and

(01:28:16):
now they are's another video where there was a third strike. Yeah,
see how they spin this one. Yesterday was hilarious. They're like,
look they were Amas' that's adds everything. Everybody's amas. Everybody
they were Amas. Okay, I don't know what to do
at this point in time. Finally, over to Google. Robin

(01:28:39):
Westman in video stock ed Geen at Genes no longer
with us. Ed Geen is the model in which many
of horror's greatest monsters, and he is trending because Charlie
Hunman is playing him in a new Netflix movie called
Monster three, two, three, five, three, twenty four to twenty three.

(01:29:00):
At Shed Benson Show, as your ex, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. Right here on the Chad Benson Show, Powerball
drawing Susanne Minarez Monoaz. I don't know if I said
that right. It's the CDC director. She's trending because she's

(01:29:21):
no longer the CDC director. Boo, Yeah, she's not the
CDC director anymore, because you know, she she spent a
lot of time working hard. She was there for like
an hour. I think she was there less than a month,
and they're like, you gotta go. This isn't working.

Speaker 24 (01:29:39):
Monrez's own lawyer say because she quote refused to rubber
stamp on scientific reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts,
that she was.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
Quote being targeted.

Speaker 24 (01:29:50):
And they say Monarez has neither resigned nor received the
proper notification from the White House to be fired, and
so as a person of integrity and devoted to science,
she will not resign.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
So that leaves us in a showdown.

Speaker 24 (01:30:03):
Of sorts where Manrez has effectively dared the White House
and President Donald Trump to fire her if they want
to go through with this.

Speaker 5 (01:30:09):
But she says she isn't quitting.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
So she was. She's been on the job for a
month as far as confirmation got through the whole nine yards,
and then she's only been there a couple of weeks.
So and this has to do, I think with vaccines
and the way that Robert Kenny Junior is looking at
some stuff. Yet other people resign as well. It's not
running smooth over there. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:30:33):
twenty four to twenty three acts, Had Benson Show, It's
Your Act, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more coming up.
Our buddy Jim Kennedy's going to join the program. We're
going to talk about is this the biggest risk for
Gavin Newsom in the redistricting getting it on the ballot
and what if it fails? What does that do to him?
We talk about that, among other things.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
Chad Benson Show, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
It's a different time of the week because I'm off tomorrow,
So we're having our buddy, Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of
Public Policy Research join the program talk about politics, pop
culture and all.

Speaker 5 (01:31:33):
The other things.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
All right, Uh, before we get super serious, let's talk
about t Swift. So she and uh kels here getting married.
So that's so there's that. So are you are you excited?
Are you are you gonna go?

Speaker 28 (01:31:48):
I have not been invited yet, so I don't I
don't know if I will make the final cut for
the uh for for the wedding list or not, So
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:31:55):
And if I do, I don't know who side of
the you know who side a'm I supposed.

Speaker 28 (01:31:57):
To sit on, because you know, I watched football and
watch him, and you know, I've heard a couple of
her songs, you know, not you know, not exactly the
world's largest Taylor Swift fan, but you know, she.

Speaker 5 (01:32:06):
Has some catchy tunes.

Speaker 28 (01:32:07):
And actually really kind of admire her as a business person,
a businesswoman and a songwriter and stuff, because that's one
thing I can I can't do. I can't write songs,
and I really've always you know, admire the people that
can write songs and music.

Speaker 5 (01:32:19):
I just do not anywhere have that skill.

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
You know.

Speaker 28 (01:32:22):
I've been working on trying to be a better writer,
just in you know, for for my substack stuff, but
as far as writing songs, I wouldn't even know where.

Speaker 5 (01:32:29):
To start on that.

Speaker 28 (01:32:30):
And she's been doing it since she was like ten
down in Nashville writing writing songs for other people and
then writing her own stuff. So, you know, I'm and
in the way she's built her you know, business into
a billion dollar business is great.

Speaker 5 (01:32:41):
I admire her for that. But yeah, I don't really
know who side of the alley'd be sitting on.

Speaker 28 (01:32:45):
But yeah, I don't know up to see if the
you know, if the invite wherever it is, it's going
to be a secret, crazy one, like like Bezos is.
But but yeah, you know, it'd be kind of interesting
to see what happens with this. If this is going
to be a trend for you know, for young women
that are because she's got to you know, huge isn't
big enough word, tremendously large following and now that she's
gonna you know, you know, I assume there's going to

(01:33:07):
be baby tea swepts coming along, because you know, I
would assume there is. I don't know, maybe not, but
I would assume there is. Is this going to start
a trend in America? Is this going to be a
trend where you know, we're swifties are going to start
getting marrieds are looking to find guys and settle down
and get married and have kids. And can this be,
of all things, a solution to raising the birth rate

(01:33:29):
in America, which is horrit which is historically low and
not at replacement rate and causing you know, it's going
to cause those problems in America a lot amongst the
whole Western world too, So Can this be a trend?
Can this be something that's that that's a sea change
in the whole you know, marriage amongst young people and babies.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
You know, it's interesting you say that because the reality is,
I think a lot of younger generation women who and
I'm talking about the gen Z more than the millennials, uh,
And I think they they want to have kids. The
issue is going to be the same thing. It's money. Man,
she's got a billion, gazillion dollars. It's it's money. If

(01:34:10):
you have enough money, you're more w apped to take
a run at having it. And I try to tell people,
if you're in a horrible situation, no, don't have a kid.
But if you're just getting by the thought that well,
I'm gonna have a kid, it's gonna ruin my life
and we're gonna fall behind, now that isn't you're gonna
find out you make it, you're going to be more
than okay, and you'll find out that it's going to
push you in other ways. But for a lot of people,

(01:34:32):
they're so upside down with because people didn't our age,
didn't come out of college with a house payment and
a car payment. That's as much as a house payment
and a and you know, thousands gazillions of dollars of
credit card debt. They're so far behind the eight ball
with limited options to get themselves out of that. It's

(01:34:55):
a money thing.

Speaker 5 (01:34:56):
Yeah, no, I think that's a good point. I had
not thought that through.

Speaker 28 (01:34:59):
But then you know, you know, if you are married,
you hope they're gonna have two incomes that can make
it a little bit, a little bit easier.

Speaker 5 (01:35:05):
I mean, you know, two are going to live as two.

Speaker 28 (01:35:07):
Two can't live as cheap as one, but two can
live cheaper than one and one living by themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:35:12):
Or with roommates or something like that.

Speaker 28 (01:35:14):
So, but you are true about that, that still is
a problem if you're coming to out school with a
one hundred thousand dollars dead and like you said, they're
the average what's the average car payment seven and thirty dollars, yeah,
a month or something, which I found to be crazy
when when I heard that number, It's like, I just wow,
that's just marginally expensive cars and they maybe pay the
shade over five hundred dollars a month and years and

(01:35:35):
years ago, and right now, knock on wood, I don't
have a car payment, and I love that.

Speaker 5 (01:35:39):
Fact right now.

Speaker 28 (01:35:40):
So I don't know how long that's gonna last, but
it currently I love it, and I'm very happy that
I do not have one. There's not something that I
certainly miss even though I'm driving at this point a
ten year old.

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
Car that's okay, smart thing man, Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:35:54):
No, and it's still runs, so knock on longer it
keeps running. But that but you know, that is a
good point. Hopefully that's something that you know that could
be worked around, because I'm just looking for anything to
help raise.

Speaker 5 (01:36:04):
The birthrate in America because it is a problem right now.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
It's an absolute problem.

Speaker 28 (01:36:09):
It leads yeah, and I think it also two parent
family they lead to more stable up upbringing of children too.
I'm not looking I'm not you know, projecting like some
sort of a trade wife thing here, but still something
that that hopefully leads to more stability and in chreasting
the birth rate in America.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy is superpoke policy research. I
look at Gavin Newsom and he wants to be king
of the world, not everything. He wants to be king
of everything, you know, And I'm like, he want to
be king, not of California, but the world, his first
step of his dream of being president is put to

(01:36:47):
the test because the numbers don't bear out that this
is a popular idea to to let's override everything. We're
going to get it on the ballot. We're going to
redistrict and do all of this, and a lot of
the polls I'm seeing in California going nah, we're okay.

Speaker 28 (01:37:05):
Yeah, No, it's not a it's not popular. Like I said,
I think I've seen numbers originally before he actually hit
the ballot, I saw something like around a negative negative
sixty three percent no or negative sixty three percent sixty
three percent no. And then I've seen some polls that
put it closer to fifty to fifty no. No, yes, obviously,
And I'm not really sure, but I you know, this
may well would we get done with. Even though this

(01:37:26):
is going to be a literal two month sprint, three
month sprint to the finish line for this in early November,
this may wind up being the most costly proposition ever
in American history, because there's already I would say, north
of twenty five million dollars that's been pledged that I've
seen receipts on and they're very much you know, they
may be collecting a million dollars or more a day.

(01:37:48):
You've got Charlie Munger Junior, who I think has pledged
ten or twelve million to the No campaign. That's Charlie
Munger's son who just passed away. I think Munger pass
away ninety four or ninety six, so he inherited most
of adds billions.

Speaker 5 (01:38:00):
And he's been very very.

Speaker 28 (01:38:02):
Active on the on the Republican side in California, which
unfortunately you thrown a lot of money at stuff that
hasn't worked out for him. And then on the other side,
I know the California Teachers Union, who's flushed with campaign donations,
had three million dollars and why we don't know how
much Gavin has left over from I believe he's folded
in his anti recall funds into this for a pack

(01:38:24):
that they're going to be using to throw money at
this also for the for the S side. And one
of the things I've heard that they're going to be
working on that that they're going to be putting out
commercials with is because technically this keeps the Redistricting Commission,
they just shelve it for six years until twenty thirty one,
after the twenty thirty census maps are drawn, and then
they'll re implement the commission going forward. So basically what

(01:38:47):
they're saying is, oh, you want to keep the commission,
vote yes, to try to convince people by telling them, well, yeah,
they won't tell them it's going to be twenty thirty
one when the commission's back, but if you want to
keep it, vote yes. So that's how they're going to
try to con people, getting f votes out of people
that don't want to vote yes, that don't want to
re districting by basically using this leading messaging, which is
the way a lot of violet propositions in California run,

(01:39:09):
especially when they have a significant amount of money behind
them and they can blast the airwaves and I'm guaranteeing
you're gonna, you know, remember like you get downe the
last month of elections, you got you know, every time
you turn, yeah, turn on primetime television, and five out
of every six ads is a campaign ad. And the
fifth AD and the third ad maybe the same ad
sandwich between an opponent's AD or or a different proposition

(01:39:31):
or a different you know, issue ad or something like that. So, yeah,
be ready to leave for us in California. We're gonna
get pummeled by these things. I think this may wind
up they may this may wind up north of one
hundred million dollars or more by the time it's done.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
So it's going to be crazy.

Speaker 28 (01:39:45):
And and yeah, if Gavin doesn't, this doesn't pan out
for Gavin, you know, not that I think Gavin's got
a great chance anyway, For if you get very deep
in them, there's not there's just not a lot of
there there, Yeah, Gavin. And and like I said said before,
he has a Kardashian size walk in closet full of skeletons.
And when those things start coming out, he's just gonna

(01:40:07):
You're just gonna find that He's just not that kind
of he's just not that popular guy. Yeah, he looks,
you know, he looks, he looks, he looks the part.
He looks like something on Central Casting for a political candidate.

Speaker 5 (01:40:18):
He's handsome.

Speaker 28 (01:40:19):
And if you give him, like, you know, four sentences,
he sounds good, but what are the next four sentences
type of thing, and then he goes off. He's very
commolished with the word salad problem. He used to be
the king of word Salad sol kamala speak for more
than you know, fifteen seconds at a time. And then
she took over the title. So yeah, it'll be interesting.
But yeah, you know, stay tuned. It's gonna be a
it's gonna be interesting, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Thirteen weeks here talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institt of
Public Policy Research yesterday this week the special election in
Iowa and the lady that won. She won a place
that was held by Republicans Trump when I think but
like fifteen points there, and she did well, and she

(01:41:05):
didn't go oke, she didn't go crazy. She came at it,
and she talked about the thing that is going to
matter the most in any election, but especially next year
as Trump pivots towards you know, it's crime. It's this,
that and the other, and don't look at the Epstein
stuff or whatever. It is truly about affordability because people

(01:41:27):
aren't feeling a gym. Consumer confidence is down and you
and I know this more than anything else. James Carvel
was right, it's about the economy, stupid. When the economy
the rest of the world can go to hell, you
do great with the rest of the world. But you
lose the economy, you're done.

Speaker 28 (01:41:42):
Yeah, it's always been a pocketbook economy unless there's some
reasons that you can, you know, extraneous Reasons's this way.
If Epstein file is still an issue come midterms next year,
I Trump's gonna lose fairly badly because a lot has
gone wrong if that thing hasn't been put away and
and put in the closet or basically completely cleaned up

(01:42:03):
by then. So I'm hoping that won't be an issue.
But yeah, it's all about the economy that works. You
know that that race is a I wouldn't say necessarily
it's purely a one off, but you're talking about a
regional race or you know, a local race within Illinois.
It's hard to do that on a large basis for
a Democrat on a nationwide if they want to get
that progressive wing out there and working for them and

(01:42:25):
doing a lot of the grassroots work, which is what
they do, and that helps out the candidates. And then
again you get a guy like you know, if it
is Gavin, but at least it'll be a primary where
Gavin will probably be there come twenty twenty eight, and
I just you know, I just don't see Gavin doing
well in states like Iowa or Indiana, or Missouri, maybe
New Hampshire.

Speaker 5 (01:42:47):
I don't know about Nevada.

Speaker 28 (01:42:48):
They're a little too close to California to they see
what Gavin, you know, what the thing is or what
the problems are in California. They frankly have taken in
a lot of the California refugees or the people that
have fled California that I have led, that have fled
Gavin Land, and a lot of people aren't happy with
that because you know, thirty years ago to that it
was a very red state and it's basically Californians fleeing, fleeing.

(01:43:12):
Funny because they'll flee California and you have the same
problem down in Nashville or in Tennessee, where they flee
California because of all the horrible Democrat policies and they'll camp.
You know, then they'll come up with a new state
and they'll keep voting Democrat and the new state thinking
that the results are going to be different, and no, no,
it's probably not going to be different. But you haven't
learned yet. The problem wasn't you know, just the state.

(01:43:35):
It was the voting that you were doing to vote
for the people that were turning the state into a
dumpster fire. So a lot of the vetins aren't happy
with Californians, and you need to get rid of your
license plates pretty quick when they move in there. So
I'm not sure that they're going to be necessarily all
that thrilled with Gavin, But yeah, we'll have to see
how that how that plays out. But yeah, it always
is a wallet issue unless there's some other extraneous effort.
And crime though, crime for Trump, unless something happens between

(01:43:57):
now and then, is a very very strong issue for
him right now and plays well. And certainly if DC
goes well, he can certainly hang his hat on that,
and you know, maybe he'll find a maybe he'll find
a Blue city mayor who's desperate enough to basically work
with Trump between now and then, and you know, he
can have some success there were working with them on
a cooperative basis. Maybe not done not We'll see what happens,

(01:44:20):
but but yeah, forordability is definitely going to be an
important role in or issue in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):

twenty eighth, the Year of the Lord, twenty twenty five.
A lot of stuff happened in August on the twenty
eighth day, not so much in this year, but in
years past. So you know what that means. We should
go back in time find out what happened. We should

(01:46:59):
go back in time and find out what happened.

Speaker 23 (01:47:01):
Once upon in time, a long time ago.

Speaker 14 (01:47:05):
Now it's time for this day in history.

Speaker 2 (01:47:07):
We look back on this set to find out what
famous things took place. All right, let's find out what
famous things took place on this day in history. It's
actually some days not not a lot, other days very
very busy on this day in history. Wh should we
start with. We can go way back, or we can
go kind of back. Let's go just kind of back.

(01:47:30):
Brad's drink. What was that this day in history? In
eighteen ninety eight, pharmacist Caleb Bradham from North Carolina had
a concoction that he had invented. It was a soda.
They called it Brad's drink. He decided, we're going to
call it something else. They called it Pepsi cold cool.
In this day in history, eighteen sixty two, the start
of the Second Battle of Bull Run. This day in

(01:47:51):
eighteen forty five, the first issue of Scientific America came
out very scientific. Also on this day in history, nineteen
fifty five, tragic murder of Emmett Till, the fourteen year
old was abducted and brutally murdered in Mississippi. His death
galvanized the emerging civil rights movement and became quite the

(01:48:14):
cultural touch point in that which led to this Just
eight short years later, on this day in history, front
of two hundred thousand people, Martin Luther King Junior delivered
it is I have a dream speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

Speaker 27 (01:48:29):
I have a dream my four little children one day
live in a nation where they will not be judged
by the color of that skin, but by the content
of that character.

Speaker 5 (01:48:40):
I have a dream.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
To me, what a dream it is. We're still trying
to do that each and every day. These are just
a few things that happen on this day in history.

tough thing to cover. There's no doubt about that. It
is a tough thing to cover, especially considering the day
before as my seven year old she just turned seven
that day, her birthday, and it's it's it's a horrific
situation and we've got issues. There's no doubt that we
need to deal with because you don't see this really
